I have always thought that a nametag would be worn on the left side, right above a shirt or suit pocket, as a pocket square would be.  According to etiquette sites I've looked at, it should be worn on the right to avoid making people look across your body when shaking hands.  Any thoughts?

There isn't a single book on networking, meeting planning or interpersonal communication that doesn't say nametags should go on the right. "They" say you should wear your nametag on the right hand side so it is visible in the direct line with your handshake. For the most part, I agree. And so do most people. This is one of the few nametag protocols most people are familiar with.\n\nOn the other hand, the horizontal placement of your nametag should be dependent on the capacity in which you are wearing it. For example, if you work in a hotel, in retail, at a trade show or any other mobile environment where there are aisles, rows and hallways, consider the possibility of wearing your nametag on the left side of your chest so it is most visible to oncoming traffic. (If you live in a country where you walk on the right side of the path)\n\nNow, this is a debatable issue. But the bottom line about horizontal placement is this: it doesn't matter which side of your chest the nametag lays, as long as it's above your breastbone and readable from 10 feet away.


Sounds like Malpitte (think I got the spelling right).  It a cactus seed that produces halucinations.  I've never used them, but I know that your friend was supposed to puke the seeds up a few minutes after taking them.  Who knows what kind of serious mind damage has been done.


a brief history... with the correct details\n\nkindly give sensible answers and don't hurt anyone's religious or personal sentiments..

So after Muhammad died, the Shias wanted Ali to be the Caliph, because they believed that the imam of Muslims should be from the family of the Prophet. This caused the split. The Sunnis believe the Shias glorify Ali to much, to the extent that it is against Islamic teachings. That's pretty much the basis of it. Nothing to do with what is stated in the Koran or any of the Prophet's hadiths, but just because they want their tribes to be in power. But if the Shias were in control of the leadership of Muslims, what about Muslims in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas?


So I've had no problems with my sunburn since I got it on Sunday, besides that whole burning when moving, or touching, but today at about 2:00 I began to get strong itching feelings on my upper back and shoulders, where the sunburn is.  I've tried everything from cold compresses to anti-itch spray, te spray has taken the edge off, but hasn't really helped, any ideas?

If you put on some aloe vera it'll help with the burning, itching, etc. sensations. I have this green kind that's a mix between sunscreen/aloe vera. It'll also be good if you wear it everytime you go out in the sun! :]


on my arm pits the skin is darker than my regular skin is there a way i  can treat it

it  is called axillary freckling and usually nothing serious. you could try to use skin lightening cream, but why it is your arm pits....

Does anyone else have this same problem?? I have gone to Dr. after Dr...tried things for rosacea and it doesnt work...it seems more that my body isnt cooling itself properly and thus my nose and hands get red in the heat, i mean VERY read not normal flushing.....strange ques. i know, but i would LOVE to find someone else with my same problem...thanks@

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!


i want to know if my solid paint mare has a 2 inch square on her lower lip would this allow her to be registered regular or does it have to be on the body please define this she is currently breeding stock but i have noticed this 2 inch white on her lower lip

I can't honestly say. But the thing I would do to find out is to contact the registry. Either online or by letter. Most of the registry groups I've talked to are very kind and helpful and will send you all sorts of useful info.


I thought it was pretty good, possibly thier best. I really liked the songs: "The Enemy" "Shine Down" "Bleeding Me" and "Temptation"... what did you think? also, what do you think of the new tool album? I was thinking of buying it, but I've heard mixed reviews... and while your at it, do you have any other musical suggestions I might enjoy? (Metal, Rock, Country, Bluegrass, Folk, whatever, anything but pop or rap)


In the Valle de San Felix, the purest water in Chile runs from 2 rivers, fed by 2 glaciers. \nIndigenous farmers use the water, there is no unemployment, and they provide the second largest source of income for the area. \nUnder the glaciers has been found a huge deposit of gold, silver and other minerals. To get at these, it would be necessary to break, to destroy the glaciers - something never conceived of in the history of the world - and to make 2 huge holes, each as big as a whole mountain, one for extraction and one for the mine's rubbish tip. \nThe project is called PASCUA LAMA. The company is called Barrick Gold. The operation is planned by a multi-national company, one of whose members is George Bush Senior. \nThe Chilean Government has approved the project. If they destroy the glaciers they will permanently contaminate the 2 rivers so they will never again be fit for human or animal consumption because of the use of cyanide and sulphuric acid in the extraction process. \nWTF?

Apparently it is legal,that does not make it fair or palatable.I think to destroy the glaciers would be a travesty.It is no surprise George is involved he is a republican,and they sacrifice anything in the name of the almighty dollar.As for the Chilean government well,lets see ,you have 12 million people,4 million of you support the rest of the population.The south and central portions of your country prosper,while the entire north suffers in poverty.Your government and businesses import most of your goods(except agriculture)and charge double tax on the goods so only those with money can buy them.Does it surprise me your government approved destruction of the glaciers and the people whose culture depends on them and the water flow,not really,after all in Chile to have is to have ,and to have is to have not.Those that have snub their noses at those that do not.


You get street smarts much sooner,and if you work in a business for example you get a lot of advantage,since you learn business by doing business and not by taking courses about business,and the same principle applies to a lot of other majors,so a lot of times,it has many + benefits.

You kill someone in a moment of confusion during a robbery... does the death penalty help in this situation?\n\nWhat about false accusations that are trumped up by the media for ratings? Where is there room for error?\n\nI just don't think that organized killing by a group of people is any different than a murder in the street.


its a show were they ask u at this cafe when they see u with ur big boobs then they take u to the studio and have sex with u infront of the auddience i think it sounds fun but should i really?

No!  Sex is something to be shared between lovers. By doing something like that you cheapen it for you both down to just an act.  \n\nSex is meant to bring lovers together - to teach trust and compassion for one and other. \n\nFantasy fulfillment and roll playing are good thing for lovers.  Just don't through it all away and have no place left to explore.


At work a person will say something that triggers a song to pop in my head and stay there. Example: The other day someone called someone else a Ding-Dong, automatically Ding Dong the witch is dead, wicked witch..... popped in my head and stayed there for, it seemed like eternity. Is there any help for me?

I always think of dumb stuff. Like whenever I hear the word stuff, I think of Oreos! Or the word hey makes me think of horses. I dont think there is much help for people like us. I guess we all think of odd songs at odd times. If everyone who did that was weird, there would be alot more weird people in this world.

We (The Allies) undoubtodly wouldn't have conquered Germany had it not been for the bravery of US soldiers (albeit prompted into war by Pearl Harbour) during WW2. Would there have been a civilisation left to protect had it not been for GB in the first place. I refer to an answer given to question "The US owes London Council £500,000" by a dimwit who suggests the UK still owe you for assisitance in WW2.

Levit, Britain couldnt hold The germans off at all???? three words for you my friend BATTLE OF BRITAIN, the british did just that they held the germans off thanx to THE FEW, the men and women of RAF fighter command many of whom were not much older than thier late teens and early twenty's, after defeat in the BATTLE of BRITAIN the germans turned thier attentions to Russia and got thier arses kicked, plz do some re-search on these things before you open your mouth and insert your foot in it.


they did normqally untill game 6 when it was cut-throat and had to go to detroit and got set up

their star player is Lebron James.  I think they just depended on him to bring them back on a day when he wasnt feelin his best.  sure they have Ilgauskas but he cant do much without team support and most of that was goin to Lebron.  and bein at detroit really didnt help like you said but i dont think it was a set up.  the pistons were ranked #1 so i wasnt really expecting them to lose no matter where they played.


This a question for the long time fans. If you want to answer this question with John Cena, Ray Mysterio, HHH, Randy Orton, Angle, Rock, or anything like that, DON'T BOTHER. I want to here peoples opinions about real legends or wrestling.

The wrestling now is so fake, legendary wrestlers are the best. Curt Henning, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, The Ultimate Warrior, Freddie Blassie, Roddy Piper, and Andre the Giant are the best!

i have these 2 friends, who i consider 2 both be my best friends, for different reasons. the problem is, if i see one the other tends to get jealous and thinks i prefer them. i dont know how to solve this, i have tried saying that they are both my best friends and that i dont have a favourite and im not going to end up preferring one to the other but this doesnt seem to make a difference. when we go out i always feel like i need to make sure i speak to them for equal lengths of time etc and make sure im not leaving one out. its starting to get really tiring and frustrating. any suggestions how to solve this??

ask them if they like you or not ask them if they believe you are not ask them if they want u to be happy or not\nif their answers to the three are yes then tell them that both of them are equally important to u and ask them to be friends atleast around you and u avoid meeting them seperately if they agree to this and always remember that u are a goo friend but your patience also has limits


my friends do alot but i don't want to tell them cuz they might get mad at me and don't want to be my friend nomore

No, a friend is suppose to be supportive and helpful and allways have your back and defend you and stand up for u

What did you think? I was expecting something big, just not that big. I won't spoil it for those who TiVo'd or taped it, but I will say that I just sat there with my mouth hanging down to the floor

Yes, my mouth was open too. It was not what I was expecting. But I don't think she is gone for good. I think she will have to work hard to get her to go to the light. She will not want to go.

scooterettes, or for that matter even scooters (in India) make so much more noise than motorcycles, even if it is a 4-stroke scooter. Why?

All the scooters I've seen are two-strokes.   Two-stroke engines are noisier than four strokes for two reasons.  Every other stroke is a power stroke in a two stroke, but only 1 in 4 on a four stroke.   The power stroke is the noisy one, because it's an explosion.   Secondly two strokes run faster than four strokes; up to 12 000 rpm, compared with 3 000 rpm.


I thought beta blockers, esp. beta1 blockers, decrease myocardial contractility which can lead to heart failure.

In diastolic dysfunction (impaired relaxation) it slows the heart rate, increasing filling time ultimately resulting in increased cardiac output.\n\nIn systolic dysfunction (impaired contraction) it is thought to work on decreasing the sustained sympathetic stimulation seen with left ventricular dysfunction which can cause the b receptors to down regulate.  It also decreases the risk of fatal arrythmia associated with sympathetic surges.  It decreases myocardial oxygen demand.  There is some decrease in contractility initially, however doses are usually titrated gradually and tolerated.  After months of treatment contractility can actually improve due to the reasons described above.\n\nAdditionally, people are usually not started when in florid heart failure.

Is this grl popular & nice or popular and a B*T*H. if shes nice try asking her out. if shes a B*T*H forget about her! You deserve better!!


That would be nice.  Then maybe we wouldn't have a warmonger for a president.


Sorry - but isn't Yawheh this vengeful jealous hanging judge god, eager to kill whole tribes because they don't obey him?> Whereas Jesus says God is forgiving, loving, merciful and never told anyone to murder.Allah likewise - bloodthirsty character according to Koran, doesn't quite fit the description of being merciful and compassionate. But the greatest mystery to me is why do people think that all you need to know about God you can read in a  book???? As if a few hundred verses is all it takes. They all get it wrong when they claim to a perfect image of God and hos attributes, but Christianity and Judaism get it wrong the most by their insistence that God is wanting to punish and that he demands a sacrifice. God is not interested in punishing anyone. What we call punishment is simply the karmic consequence of our choices. God you people are so so tupid!

I'm sorry - you seem to have produced an opinionated rant rather than a question.  \n\nIf there is no God and only karma then there is no need for any morality at all because cosmically my actions will eventually all balance out.  If all actions are paid back as consequences then there there is no logical motivation to do anything remotely selfish as you will suffer for it.  And also one can not perform a good of selfless deed as you will be in a very direct way the benificiary in the long run.\nThus if one cannot perform a selfish act without it being agaisnt one's own interest and one cennot help someone without cosmically benefitting then there is absolutly no basis for ethics or morality.\nBy this thinking I could go out and murder ten children and eat their still warm innards knowing fully that I would bear the consequenes of my actions and because of this I would not really have done an act which would make the world any worse.  And conversly I could choose to become a doctor just to gain the benefits of helping others.\n\nI cannot accept this as being the case.  If karma removes morality by ensuring balanced and equal consequence to every deed I do it essentially removes the concepts of free will, and ethics and reduces humanity to cosmic automata no different to innanimate objects on any moral level. \n\nAlthough you may think me stupid I will go on in believing in things like God, freedom of choice, morality, good, evil and ethical choice, because a universe with only karma is essentially amoral and therefore, in my opinion, ethically worthless.


Is any AIRFORCE in the world a match for USAF in terms of technology and engineering? Does everything depends on the technology and engineering skills?

Hey dude the one word answer to your question is definately no. But here let me tell you that we Indians are no where lacking in the terms of love for our country and the responsibilities of our duty, and that is what I think makes a great FORCE. Just to give you a fact, today atleast 30% of NASA's engineers are Indians.\nProud to be an Indian.


Basicly, if theres any website that teaches it let me know.  And how do u know if it rhymes or not, I barely have a clue what rhymes with what (something like the end of the word of the first line has to have to have same voice sound of the first word of second line, something like that?)

A poem can be almost any thing. It doesn't have to rime ether. Here is an example.\n"I don't know how to write a poem.\nI must be very dumb.\nI don't know how to write a poem.\nI must be a bum."\nNo offense!!!


Recently, I've been hearing beep sounds after I dial numbers off and on as if it was tapped. But I immediately hang up cause ever since bussh did that public eavesdropping, i'm thinking they tapped my phone. What do you think? Anyone experienced the same thing?

Not sure about the beeping,maybe some clicking you will hear.I have heard clicking on my phone often.It is a faint clicking sound.And sometimes my phone will ring just once.I read that just ringing once is someone checking the line to see if someone is on the phone.Spooky ain't it.Oh,well,if they are listening to me they learn about PMS and such fashionable conversations and maybe a few other boring conversations.I did some reading myself,here is a few sites I found listed below.The famguardian.org was a link on one of the sites listed below.I could not get back to it,but the way I have it typed in below was the way it showed up on my address bar.Anyway there is some good reading on the sites to answer your question.


I have seen women with large cup sizes, say 'D' cup or bigger, whose breasts seem to stay perky over time.  Yes, pornstars are a good example.  But I was wondering how women, who do not like to wear underwire bra's to bed, can do it.  Women in entertainment do it for years and don't use surgery.  Any thoughts?

I am a 34 C/D, so certainly not as large as your wife, but still a busty girl.\n\nThis is what almost all of the women in my family do, (we are all pretty busty) and my aunts have stayed remarkably perky into their 50’s\n\nFIRST – wear a properly fitting, well sized, supportive bra.  This should be something that holds the girl up, and keeps them supported.  Your everyday bras should be under wire, full coverage, and comfy.  If your bras lack any of those characteristics – they are the wrong size / wrong bra for you.  If your under wires poke you, you are wearing the wrong size.  Go and have a bra fitting done for you.  If you go to a Leggs Hanes Bali store the sales girls (and guys) are trained to fit your bra properly.  I like Bali bras – but sometimes they are a bit lack luster in the fashion department, so I also wear a lot of VS Second Skin Satin bras – they fit me well, provide sufficient support for me (though more would be fine) and come in a huge variety of colors.  I HATE Playtex bras.  They are ugly, and they SMELL.  Avoid them at all costs.\n\nNever wear a soft cup bra for regular daily wear.  There is simply not enough support to risk it.  Besides, with a properly fit under wire bra, a good supportive under wire is at least as comfy as any soft cup.\n\nSpecial occasions are special occasions, and require special bras – avoid going braless however – unless that is the occasion.\n\nSecond – When doing ANY type of exercise – including things like gardening – or anything else that may cause extra bouncing, wear a good, strong sports bra, something that is capable of holding the girls in and controlling all of the bounce.  One of my aunts has been known to wear two sports bras on occasion.  An even better solution is to not do any sort of bounce inducing exercise and confine your work-out to the pool.  The water prevents you from doing any damage to your breasts (or joints) and provides excellent all over toning and cardio work out all in one.\n\nThird – and this is the real secret – and it is the critical step.  Wear a bra to bed.  Sleep in a bra every night.  This does not need to be a firm support under wire contraption, and it does not need to be uncomfortable at all.  In fact – it should be comfortable.  No one does a lot of bouncing when they sleep, so all this bra is doing is keeping the girls in place – it does not need to be firm support.  These bras are a bit harder to find, but they are worth the effort, and worth what you have to pay.  Try to find “leisure” bras, or “sleeping” bras.  If you google them you will find something.  They are a MUST if you want to remain perky for as long as possible – and well worth any trouble you may have to go through to find them.


my wie did not get injured but my son had facial contusion,& dental trauma thats what they told us al th er what should i do there was no wet floor sign

'Facial contusion and dental trauma' is not a big deal. That could mean no more than bruises and sore teeth. However, if you're really concerned, contact a lawyer or your insurance company.


i am an american who came to mexico looking for work , i found a great job , they even made me a true citizen . They treat me great with benefits such as medical dental and unemployment if i were to lose my job.i even recieved a couple of grants for absolutely nothing. free money!! I just want to protest because i don't think i am getting treated fairly. what do you think??

WHAT! How dare the Mexican government not accomodate your every whim! Even after you took the trouble to jump the fence, they won't give you absolutely everything you want. The nerve!


seemed to be a purchase company to come in to my systom from msn. I dont know what I did for this to happen.  If what I think has happened, I am out a lot of money . I tried to find a location for msnmusic.com to try to figure this out. Any suggestions.   Thanks dearhunter

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you've been charged on your credit card for anything you did not mean to purchase, I'd suggest you complain to the company that made the charges and ask for a refund. If they don't give you one, follow up with the bank with which you have the card and see if you can get the charge reversed.


there was a man walking down the street and he seen a helpless looking old woman walking down the street and tried giving her a hand to cross the road, she whacked him with her purse and he was sore till the next day, mentally, so he once again seen someone that looked like they could use a hand, this time it was in the form of a man trying to load a piano into a truck, he was struggling so he gave the man a hand, the piano ended up cracking in half because the man had accidentally pushed the legs off instead of pushing at the top, it fell and broke, he felt ashamed, the next day he seen someone who needed a hand, this lady had her pusre stolen and the man who took it was running in his direction, but the man turned away, instantly patrick swayze did a flying spin kick into the lawbreaker's frontal lobe, knocking him out instantly, patrick swayze is such a hero, i should let someone steal my purse so he will save me, we love you patrick swayze, weeeee!!!!!!!

Ptrck-king.. kickin' it well.. he is my hero..:)


I am doing my ME(Network and Internet Engineering) I want to do my project in Web Services, i want to know the current research areas and their implementation feasibiliyt

Not sure what you mean by current research areas, and feasability depends on what you want to do. Web services is a way of publising data that can be picked up by applications across the web. It is an open standard, so it doesn't matter what language or platform the web service was designed on, it can still be read by any other language/platform.

"GOD SAVE SCIENCE FROM FOOLS, AND FOOLS FROM SCIENCE".

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep insights can be winnowed from deep nonsense. \nCarl Sagan (1934 - 1996)


Why can we use genetic markers on mitochondrial DNA or on the Y chromosome to track the lineage of human poupulations?

Because as a whole, human DNA doesn't change that much at all, so when it *does* change, it is going to be in a place on the genome that is not terribly important, for the most part (this is not 100% true, as single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs abound in functional genes.  but most of the variation in the genome occurs at sites that are not so important).  When your germ cells make sperm or eggs, there is always a possibility that a random mutation may occur.  This chance, of course, is higher if you live in or near New Jersey.  When your child receives this polymorphism, if it is not deadly to the child, then the child will pass it on.\nIn the past, settlers would move away from their country and to another area, and this small group of people would then interbreed and pass on whatever genetic variation they had to their children, and you would end up with a somewhat distinctive genetic profile.  We don't do this kind of pioneering genetics anymore, but the evidence of it is still with us.  Because of it, you can look at the differences between people's DNA and have a decent idea where their ancestors came from.


My cousin and I are really close; he's like the brother I never had. Recently, he joined the USMC and has gone to two tours to Iraq, and in the process earned a Purple Heart for a shrapnel wound. Now that Memorial Day is coming around, I want to get him something to show him my appreciation for his service to our country. Any ideas?

get as many people as you can to sign the marine corps. flag...( by signing it they are showing there thanx)...right before you award it to him sign it yourself and tell him about why you did it..i think he'll appreciate the time and effort it took to do.


Obviously there are spies, but I mean spies of the calibre of Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell PS2 game character), James Bond, etc.\n\nAnd if so, wha kind of mission do you think they undertake, d you think they are as exciting as they are made out to be, or do you think they are mostly boring survellance type ones?

Spies? If we have them, why didn't Bush send them over to look for Bin Laden instead of sending our military over there to be killed???


Other than your mother, can you think of someone who isn't selfish. In the last year, I've noticed that most peoplge live in their own little worlds, caring only about what they're doing and how things affect them. I'd like to hear about examples of people who aren't selfish and/or self-centered. OK? Thanks a heap!

here comes the rotten tomatoes, but i think Bono is a pretty self-less guy.\n\nyes, he's a rock star, and that whole period in the early nineties made him appear arrogant and self-centered, but the truth is that he was trying to expose how ridiculous his world really is - most people just didn't get it - he's very deep.\n\nthese days, all the effort he's putting in to influence powerful people to do some real good in the world (at the cost of his celebrity capital - not insignificant) well, i just think it deserves mention.\n\noh, and Angelina Jolie gets my respect too. she's doing wonderful things for mine victims in Cambodia, and the fact that she chooses to adopt as many third-world children as she can handle is pretty impressive. i love that she got so sick of the superficiality of Hollywood, that she retired to pursue full time her activities with NGOs and the U.N.\n\nthey're not completely self-less, but in this world of isolated people that don't give a damn for anything that doesn't surround them, they do pretty well.

I know how to down load videos from other websites, video cameras and so on.  But I do't know how to capture what is on TV.  I do have DVR.

Most TV tuner cards come with software for recording the shows.


I forgot my password and the computer will not recognize me.  Is there any way to log in to the PC and disable this box from appearing in the future.  I have tried entering guest and different regions, but that has not worked.  It seems as though I need to bypass this before even getting to this screen.

Try restarting computer and tapping F5 continually as it reboots to go into Safe Mode.\nFrom there try going in as Administrator, then Start, (settings), Control Panel, Users.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nPS Otherwise don't mess with it if it is not your computer.  There is a probably a reason for a good secure password. hahahahahah ha ha haha


Don't send me anything. All I want are honest answers.

It all depends on what is if for. Since I will be spending this dollar, I believe at least I need to know what is it for. I would usually do it if it's for a good cause (feeding kids, paying for a hospital bill, etc). If you're asking for this donation to buy liquor, drugs, etc, I would rather send you an advice that hopefully would make you think twice about these topics.


GOD IS SOON COMING AND IT WON'T BE LONG.

Religion is one of those subjects that no one is wrong or right in any discussion. One must believe in there own way and allow others the same right. If the lord is coming remember, he/she is all knowing and will be judge accordingly.Even the righteous aren't always right.

I just wonder... mine are like egg size... and they hang pretty low... like 6 inches low.  How low do yours hang?  WHat size?  WHat is normal?  Is it true that when you get older they hang WAAAYYY  down... like towards your knees..!??!!?

Mine are two different sizes one being about the size of a large shooter marble and the other noticeably larger. As far as hang there pretty tight.


I always thought it was allergies but now that I think of it, I might have a mild case of Tourette Syndrome.  If anyone has experienced it, please let me know.\n\nFrom the age of my teens to about 21, I always cleared my throat.  From the age of 21 to 26 I constantly sniff at all times and blink excessively when stressed.\n\nWhile I don't mind these actions, they aren't ideal in social situations as I blink like I'm off the chart.  While people don't say anything, I know deep down they notice.\n\nIn addition, I constantly rock when sitting (all my life) and if I can't rock, I move my legs back and forth.  I always feel the need to be in motion.  Everything I do in life is very quick and very fast.  \n\nNot sure if this is a case of Tourette Syndrome.  Anyone ever experience these before or know someone who has these?

I'm getting sick of all the misinformation about this disorder, as seen in the first response to this question!  \n\nVERY FEW TS patients ever display this symptom and it is not a requirement for a diagnosis.\n\n***steps down off soapbox****\n\nNow to address your question.  Throat clearing, sniffing and excessive blinking are all common symptoms.  Tourettes does not impair intelligence or impede learning.  It is not degenerative.  It is life long and there is not a cure.  \n\nDisclaimer: I am not a heath care giver.  I am a mom of a child with TS.  \n\nWhat you will need to do is ask your regular Dr. for a referral to a Neurologist.   Tourettes is diagnosed merely by observation and oral history from you.  Your Doc may take blood to rule out other possibilities.  We were not sure if our sons tics and vocal tremors would present at the exact time of the appointment, so we video taped him.  This was most helpful in the diagnosis. \n\nTourettes is not the worst thing in the world.  Most people who have this disorder can incorporate their tics and vocal remors into their daily movements.  There are mild cases as well as moderate to severe.  If you are only doing the things you mentioned in your question, your case is probably mild.\n\nBest wishes and I hope this helped.\n\nHere is a great book: "Front of the Class: How Tourettes Syndrome Made Me The Teacher I Never Had", by Brad Cohen


I am from Iran & I want you to comment on it!\nplease type where are you from and what do you think about the news about iran!

In my view,Iran is as entitled to develop a nuclear program just as much as anybody else,regardless of whether it's for energy or military use.Iran has a hostile neighbour that is bristling with nuclear weapons,so who can blame them if they're trying to develop an effective defence system.Israel is a country which is founded and run according to religious fundamentalism and in my view they are the most likely to be the protagonists for the next nuclear war but nobody is prepared to try to disarm them or halt any nuclear research and development.I am from the czech Republic by the way.


Africa is an extremely rich continent. It's natural resources have been barely touched. Unfortunately for the Africans its wealth is held by very few and is used to make other people and nations rich.


Anybody know of any practical ways to hunt for worms to use for fish bait?  Any help would be appreciated!

there are several ways it all depends on how intense you want to be\neasiest is to water a patch of your yard around 4-5 o'clock then go out after dark and creep around the wet area and you should get a bunch if you use a light then cover it with your hand so only a ray slips out as the worms will shoot back into the ground upon contact with the light try to not shin them directly but rather use the edge of the light just enough to see by\nnext you can get two copper rods from hobby shop 3 footers should work well attach to them on one end to electricity a battery charger on high setting works well stick them into ground about half way and a few foot apart in your wet area and shock them out it takes 5 to 10 min and you might get a bunch\nthen next is a way i havent tried but you take a 1 by 6 about 6 foot long and plant in an area that is known to have worms like your wet area plant it on end about three and a half foot deep so you have about two and a half sticking up then you wont need to water for worms just rub the board with a 2 by 4 or something similar across the 1 inch side so the planted board vibrates the worms supposed to come to the surface to escape the vibes\ni personaly like the first method or i will just get up or stay up and go out around 2 - 3 in the morning and the worms will be out i can get half of a 3 lb coffee can full (no dirt) in a slow meander across the park then head for the water cause just befor dawn is the best time to hit the water in my opinion\n\ntight lines and good fishing


My first argument was that god hasn't given us free will, my evidence was because we didn't have a choice or not if we wanted to be born. Some people responded to that by saying that theres no way we could have had free will before we were born because we didn't have a brain to make decisions yet.\n\nLets say that I accept that that.  How do you explain why we don't have a choice if we want to die or not?

No.  Freewill was created by religion to explain why an all-powerful god can't do something.

I am in the military and another question just made me wonder...We all hear from the media how folks are against the military, but after reading the responses to the Marine questions, seems like everyone supports the troops. Are you for or against the troops? I personally would like to know, since I am one and we only hear the bad stuff.

I support the troops. I have nothing but respect for our men and women in uniform. Respecting the troops and respecting the presidents poor decisions are two different things, however. I wrote my congressmen when they voted to increase your medical co-pays. I wrote my congressmen when they were voting to cut your "Imminent danger" pay and your family separation allowance. I will continue to support our troops, even if our government stabs you in the back.\n\nThank you for your brave and noble service to our country.

It starts as a throbbing at the back of my head and then it envelops my whole head. I might feel a little dizzy. Sometimes it is relieved by paracetamol. I've been studying for my finals but it doesn't make a difference if I am studying when it occurs or not. I want to know what it isand anything I can do to relieve it (besides sleeping which is what I've been having to do) I am worried that I'm getting a bug and it's affecting my ability to study and I don't want to be sick for my exams.

It could be a number of things...Tension Type Headaches (TTH), Migraine disease, Chronic Daily Headache (CDH), Medication Overuse Headache (MOH)...\n\nSince it occurs whether your are studying or not, you may want to keep a diary to see what the possible culprit(s) could be.    Things to track are the weather, your menstrual cycle or hormonal changes, hunger, the foods you eat( such as cheese, chocolate, nuts, bananas, etc.), the medications you take, sleeping too little, sleeping too much, irregular sleep, odors...and the list goes on.\n\nTaking paracetamol or any analgesic more than 2 or 3 DAYS a week can cause Medication Overuse Headache (aka Rebound).  Stopping it is the only way to stop the head pain.\n\nIf it continues you need to see a Headache Specialist.  If it gets severe, you may want to go to the ER.

My husband did not recieve jail credit days and when I wrote a letter to the judge, I was told that I had to file a motion with the court. NO Idea what that even means let a lone how to do it.

You should talk to your husband's lawyer. The lawyer should file the motion. If it is a matter of fees, contact the public defender's office.\n\nIf you file a motion that does not have all of the required information and it is denied, it could prevent a lawyer from filing the correct motion later.\n\nNo matter what, you should speak to a lawyer in your area.

why are so many peopel against gay rights? just because they have a different sexual orientation than us. what is so wrogn with that? my history teacher is constantly making jokes about them. he is constantly making out downs about how he hates them and doesnt like them or what they stand for. he also hates the way i dress and my friends because we are punk goths. why are so many people against non-conformists? its liek just because theyre different peopel hate them. i am different because i listen to heavy music and wear black clothing and heavy metallic jewelry and dont  look the same. why do people hate us so much??

well i think gay people are hated still because people think that they are the cause of aids and there are alot of ignorant people who don't understand that we are all the same and for some reason they think gay people are drug useres and alcoholics and party all the time. I think it's plain and simple ignorance and i wish it would stop because it's pathetic how stupid some of the most intelligent people are when it comes to fact and fiction.


Im fasting at this moment (fasting is when you only drink liquids for a period of time..no solids at all)\nbut is it healthy to fast 3 out of 7 days a week?\nIve read that it is good for you. But can you over do it to the point where it is unhealthy?\nPS: I am 14 years old

If you think you are strong for it, u should do it. i have fasted for 7 days and i am still alive. i am 16 year.

This is the first real nanny job ive gotten its different than babysitting, cuz they pay you more and on holidays and stuff but what types of questions should i be asking them? They are doctors and have a very fussy 5 month old. The pay is 300 cash a week for 24 hours--is that good?

You need to know everthing about their child(ren) such as medical history, who are the emergency contacts, etc.  Make sure that your responsibilities are clear cut and understood by both you and them.  It wouldn't hurt to get everything in writing. Make sure you understand what things are off limits to you and the child.  Pay seems good, congratulations.

I was thinking of grafting rootstocks of plants to control size and wondered if it could apply to plants other than fruit trees.\n\nand what other qualities rootstocks transmit.

Yes in Roses, Melons.By mechanically grafting the commercial scion onto a more vigorous and resistant root system from a hybrid plant, the  plant will develop many traits that will withstand the root infection and subsequent drought stress.

My father had triple bypass surgery and my sister chose not\nto inform my brother and me. She did include our other sister.When my father awoke from the surgery he only sees 2 of his adult children. I am assuming he thought the rest of us didn't care. we were told 2 months later. Dad was not talking on the phone he was weak. We are all grown with adult children of our own, and now he has passed away. We were informed of his death and went to his funeral, We found out there our 2 sisters that kept us away our now in charge of everything. The day of his funeral after wards I left to \ngo home. none of us live in that state.I was informed that everyone helped themselves to the things in the garage. I took nothing nor do I want anything. I am just having a hard time with the fact they never called when he had the operation.I never got the chance to tell him I Loved Him.\nHe must of thought I didnt care since I wasnt there.\nMy sisters have pulled this before and I forgave them\nbut now?

Just remember that your grief is for your father and to keep your anger towards your sisters for another place and time.  I lost my father last year, he too had heart surgery and never came out of it.  One of my friends suggested that I write him a letter to help me with my grief.  I was angry at the medical world for letting this happen, I just couldn't get past my anger for a long time.  Tell your Dad in your letter how much you loved him and how you're feeling.  Take your grief, your anger and channel it into something positive for your Dad's sake.  I also planted my Dad's favorite tree in my back yard to remind me of him.  So sorry for your loss.

Digging into the history of the 7-day week is a very complicated matter. Authorities have very different opinions about the history of the week, and they frequently present their speculations as if they were indisputable facts. The only thing we seem to know for certain about the origin of the 7-day week is that we know nothing for certain.\n\nThe common explanation is that the seven-day week was established as imperial calendar in the late Roman empire and furthered by the Christian church for historical reasons. The British Empire used the seven-day week and spread it worldwide. Today the seven-day week is enforced by global business and media schedules, especially television and banking.\n\nThe first pages of the Bible explain how God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. This seventh day became the Jewish day of rest, the sabbath, Saturday.\n\nExtra-biblical locations sometimes mentioned as the birthplace of the 7-day week include: Babylon, Persia, and several others. The week was known in Rome before the advent of Christianity.\n\nThere are practical geometrical theories as well. For example, if you wrap a rubber band around 7 soda cans (or any other convenient circular objects). You get a perfect hexagon with the 7th can in the middle. It is the only stable configuration of wrapping more than 3 circular objects. Four, 5, and 6 objects will slip from one configuration to another. Ancients wrapping tent poles, small logs for firewood, or other ciruclar objects might have come upon this number and attach a mystical significance to it.\n\nOne viable theory correlates the seven day week to the seven (astrological) "planets" known to the ancients: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. The number seven does not seem an obvious choice to match lunar or solar periods, however. A solar year could be more evenly divided into weeks of 5 days, and the moon phases five-day and six-day weeks make a better short term fit (6 times 5 is 30) to the lunar (synodic) month (of about 29.53 days) than the current week (4 times 7 is 28). The seven-day week may have been chosen because its length approximates one moon phase (one quarter = 29.53 / 4 = 7.3825).\nhttp://webexhibits.org/calendars/week.html\n\nWEEK   \nNext to the day, the week is the most important calendric unit in our life. And yet, there is no astronomical significance to the week. Nothing cosmic happens in the heavens in seven days.* How, then, did the week come to assume such importance? \n\nThe first thing to understand is that a week is not necessarily seven days. In pre-literate societies weeks of 4 to 10 days were observed; those weeks were typically the interval from one market day to the next. Four to 10 days gave farmers enough time to accumulate and transport goods to sell. (The one week that was almost always avoided was the 7-day week -- it was considered unlucky!) The 7-day week was introduced in Rome (where ides, nones, and calends were the vogue) in the first century A.D. by Persian astrology fanatics, not by Christians or Jews. The idea was that there would be a day for the five known planets, plus the sun and the moon, making seven; this was an ancient West Asian idea. However, when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman empire in the time of Constantine (c. 325 A.D.), the familiar Hebrew-Christian week of 7 days, beginning on Sunday, became conflated with the pagan week and took its place in the Julian calendar. Thereafter, it seemed to Christians that the week Rome now observed was seamless with the 7-day week of the Bible -- even though its pagan roots were obvious in the names of the days: Saturn's day, Sun's day, Moon's day. The other days take their equally pagan names in English from a detour into Norse mythology: Tiw's day, Woden's day, Thor's day, and Fria's day. \n\nThe amazing thing is that today the 7-day week, which is widely viewed as being Judeo-Christian, even

Can't people just believe what they want and allow others the peace to believe what they want?  Everyone seems to want to mock another's religion or belief system, and blame somone else's ethnicity, language, religion, choice of clothing,etc., for all the evils in this country.  Try looking at the leaders sometime if you want to see "causes".  Try looking at the profit makers who are bleeding all of us and turning us against one another.  Don't you think they like it when we squabble, when we hate, when we are racist, sexist, agist, etc.???  Of course they do, because it keeps us too busy to look at them?

I almost can't believe what I'm reading, but ok.  I'm not sure what a qick claim deed is, but I would talk to my lawyer, because just because his name isn't on the loan doesn't mean that he will not maybe have to help you pay for the house first off, secondly, what banker in his right mind would let your husband off the hook once he's got him?  maybe email me or post what a qick claim is plz, and I can be (maybe) more helpful


Besides ceasing all spending and budget cuts, what would be some good ways or better ways you would run the government to start reducing the debt.

Stop paying for ridiculous things like the so-called War on Drugs, for one thing.\n\nEliminate the corruption and fraud in systems that pay out the People's money but don't get anything for it.  Eliminate welfare fraud, and get people who are collecting welfare to WORK.\n\nStop giving services to illegal immigrants, like free medical care that taxpayers have to fund when they go for routine medical stuff at emergency rooms.  Tell them they are sh!t out of luck and should have thought about the need for doctor's care before they came into this country illegally.  I'll be damned if I and every other taxpayer should have to carry the burden of MILLIONS of people getting free medical care!  It costs me $75 a phucking week to get coverage of my own!\n\nWe could also freeze congressmen's pay, or even reduce it.  Most of them are independently wealthy anyway, so they don't need to earn like $200,000 a year anyway!  And for phuck's sake, there's no way in hell that congress should be able to vote to give themselves their own phucking pay raises!!  Who the phuck thought THAT was a good idea?!\n\nSo Fine, you are proof of how confused and deluded the American public has become because of that lying scumbag Clinton.  You say he reduced the deficit to balanced?!  Gimme a break, how naive are you!?  He MAY have gotten a "balanced budget" passed, but that simply means that the government expects to take in at least as much as it plans to spend FOR THE BUDGET PERIOD. And it does NOT mean that he eliminated the DEFICIT, which was in the trillions and still is.  Face it, do you really believe that he somehow got the government to collect a few extra trillion dollars in 8 years?\n\nClinton's chicanery and fraud involved pretending that more money was in the government's coffers than was really there.  For example, his budget listed the asset of NY's Governor's Island AS IF it had been sold for $5 billion. The only trouble is, he let that $5 billion be counted as though the government had it as liquid cash, when there was not even a BUYER for it.  And so it went.  Anyone can "cook the books" and make it look to the casual observer as though everything's on the level.  But is it REALLY on the level?  Generally not.  What makes you think Enron and Tyco do this shit but proven lying scumbags like Clinton would never?\n\nIf I owed $1,000,000 to someone, I could still have a balanced annual budget.  I'd just have to make sure that I was earning as much as I was going to be spending for that year (including whatever payments I have to make toward the $1M).  In fact, I could maintain a balanced budget while NEVER EVEN DIMINISHING that million dollar debt.  (Lots of people do this with credit cards.)\n\nLearn to distinguish between a debt and a budget deficit.\n\n-Jeffrey

Although I dislike all the Hispanic-bashing that's been going around lately, I do agree with conservatives on one point: Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants or developing a guest worker program BEFORE we stop the tide of illegal workers will not end illegal border crossings. But a giant fence just doesn't sound like an effective solution. And Bush's proposal to send the National Guard down there to sit around and watch illegals sneak over the border is complete idiocy.\n\nDon't we have to address the issue of the illegal job markets first? As it is, it's easy for illegals to get a job with a fake social security card. Why isn't the government doing more to prevent the use of fake S.S. cards, to make verification of S.S. numbers easier, to require employers to verify them, & to fine and punish companies & industries that don't?\n\nA fence can't keep them all out, & those who fail will just try again. So long as there are jobs here, they will keep coming.\n\nYour thoughts?

This is all trash to get the focus on illegal immigrants. The economy is going to hell because of a trillion dollar deficit from the pointless war and that is incomparable compared to the millions illegals mooch off the health care system.\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nThe rate of illegal immigration has not changed, yet all the stories suddenly switched to illegal immigrant problems in the news. This is a political switch for when blame time comes and the economy is doing horrible, people will blame immigrants instead of the massive accumulated debt killing our soldiers to protect some random countries oil for exxon.\n\n\n\nillegals work cheap. The companies get more profits. The companies have to pay more taxes. Taxes pays the illegals healthcare. Blame the companies that employ them cheap if you have a problem with that and demand they give them healthcare like any citizen. Right now they work for slave labor prices and get hurt, just like anyone else.\n\n\nThe fence will be the largest most vandalized project ever and a waste of tax money. Immigrants what a better life forever. Fences won't stop them.


I have items that I want secured from kids eyes and I need to hide this from them

There is not a way to hide a specific folder in Yahoo Mail.  You can:\n1. Hide all folders.  At the top of your folders is My Folders.  Just to the right is a hide button.  It will hide all the folders, however once the folders are hidden there is now a show folders button that your kids could see and click on to show your folders.\n2.  Set up a Yahoo email for you and one for the family.  Send the stuff you don't want the kids seeing to your personal email account.\n3. Create a really boring folder name which the kids would not want to look in.  Call it Taxes.


a man knocks on a farmhouse. when a young woman answers, he says: do you know how to have sex, not amused, she slams the door in his face. the next day he returns. the womans husband lies in and wait as his wife answers the door. again the man ask: do you know how to have sex? sure i do she repiles. good says the man. try it with your husband the next time you see him - and tell him to stay away from my wife. another littie one....what did mr and mrs tickle decide to call there daughter?????? tess


why sometimes people communicate with me only because they need something, maybe i am too boring ?

Do you think your boring? People think I'm boring cause my idea of a good time is dinner and a movie, and going to auctions...oh and because I'm the bag holder at the theme park, among other things...guess what, I don't care. Be loyal to those people who want to be around you no matter who you are. Once your not doing something silly like going out of your way to impress people to get them to like you, and you feel like you should be making more friends...take a lil initiative, socialize a lil more ( I don't know your age, so whatever is appropriate for the age group as far as socializing is concerned) Just be honest with yourself.

It gets it right about 50% of the time :)

With a magic 8 ball, there are 6 (I think) possible answers to every question. With Bush's advisors, there is only one - Bush's. Bush doesn't have advisors, he has ventriloquist "dummies" (pun intended).\n\nTo Doormat:\n“The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain” George McGovern\n\nBy the way, the "America, love it or leave it" argument is getting old. I'm sorry to disappoint, but I don't hate America. In fact, I love my country very much, even if I find all too many of my fellow countrymen to be beyond hope.\n\nThe danger of all your display of false patriotism is that it emphasizes "American Pride" over any attempt to find solutions to our nation's problems. Those who point out flaws in our way of life do so because they want to see our country live up to the promise of democracy laid out in our Constitution. To allow any less is contrary to what America truly stands for.


lately its been getting hot thoe..\nis this a temporerary breakdown? or do laptop fans get broken often?

unless you know how to open your laptop case it will not be possible for you to check the problem of your fan. but be informed that laptop fans do not run all the time. they usually have temperature sensors to turn them off and on. laptop fans do not normally break down.better have it check by  a qualified technician or service center as u can easily damage the innards of your laptop.

I had a surgery to remove a parathyroid tumor last year. They thought I was curred, I wasn't. I had another parathyroid tumor removed March 21st of this year. I don't know about my parathryoid hormone levels, but my calcium levels have been stable at 8.6. I take a calcium supplement twice a day and vitamin D because my vitamin D is 13.

each case is individual. There are no current stats on reoccurence of this type of tumour.

a arabic christian woman likes to listen to the Quran. she said the words of the original language of the Quran is strong and deep down to the heart and speaks the truth. \nhowever she is still christian. what does that mean? \n\ncan she still concider to be christian even though the Quran is taking her heart away?

There is nothing wrong with listening to the Quran or any other text. You can still "be a Christian" and listen to what you choose. The Quran isn't taking her heart away, no more than the Bible might be. She's simply listening to the voice of God written by another culture. Let her be.

We are bombarded with demands from the Faithful to "sacrifice" our lives to their God (through His collectors of such sacrifice, on Earth - of course) .. and told that EVERYTHING we have is His (their God's).  When will this evil sacrifice of the best of humanity end, I wonder?   This is EVIL, this human sacrifice stuff of theirs... even the little helpless kids have to have the end of their poor little weenies hacked off to sacrifice to Him, on His demand ... what's with THIS child abuse?

That is an interesting interpretation of the Christian's call to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God.\n\nYou may be aware that your interpretation above is incorrect.\n\nChristians dont hack off weenies...

A cylinder has a diameter of 15 cm. The water level in the cylinder is maintained at a height of 0.45 m. If the diameter of the spout pipe is 0.50 cm, how high is h, the vertical stream of water? (Assume the water to be an ideal fluid.)

Assuming you're putting the same volume of water in each, set the volumes of the cylinders equal and solve for the hight of the stout pipe.

I have been noticing that I have been having twitches with my eyes, and constantly my head, and I cannot help it, its not that bad but I look weird doing it and it's annoying.  I have watched my communion when I was 7 years old and did the same thing...my mom thinks I do it on purpose..well that person always thinks i do things on purpose...but I want it to stop...I sometimes twitch all over my body...do I have mental illness? or possibly....'tourette"?

I have had a twitch happen in my eyes for a while and talk to others about it. It turned out to be stress related.....even the doctor agreed.  It happens in the corner of the eyes.


Think about billions of stars, you see at night, each is similar to our solar system with various planets, including our planet earth... if you multiple billions with probably billions also, it's almost infinite. Could there be any other forms of "human life" in any of these "almost infinite" number of planets...

Let us assume the same 92 elements exist throughout the universe, though not perhaps in the same quantities and proportions.\n\nWe are a carbon-based life-form. Silicon-based life-forms are also possible. It seems probable that silicon-based life-forms will resemble us less than other carbon-based ones would. However carbon is much more prevalent throughout the universe than silicon, in ratio 10 : 1 (it is much more readily created as a product of nuclear fusion). Earth is relatively silicon-rich and carbon-poor, yet life here developed as carbon-based.\n\nFor a discussion of nitrogen-phosphorus biochemistry, ammonia as an alternative to water and other exotic possibilities see the wikipaedia article cited below.


I would firstly like to know if a brain injury or brain damage is the same as a mental illness.  I would also then like to ask if anyone can offer some ideas about what type of deviances and conditions might make an older person retreat back to their childhood/youth.  For example mental illness, abuse etc..

No, but having a brain injury could possibly cause someone to become mentally ill.  A brain injury is when trauma occurs to one or more brain regions and would usually result in behavioural changes.  This could be pretty much anything from a change in personality, memory deficits and motor inabilities (problems with physical behaviours-shaking hands for example) to name a few.  However these changes do not mean the person is mentally ill.  Alternatively, the trauma could result in damage to brain neurons causing malfunctions in the release of neurotransmitters.  This may lead to the person becoming depressed or experiencing some form of psychosis, which would likely be able to be controlled to a point with medication, depending on the severity of the damage.  It is also possible that the person may suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) if their brain damage resulted from a serious accident.  On the whole though brain damage does not often result in mental illness.  Contrary to one of the previous answers, as you have already read in my answer, many mental illnesses do stem from malfunctions in the brain, although these do not need to be caused by damage.  Schizophrenia and serious depression are 2-these can be caused by malfunctions of neurotransmitters (depression is believed to be caused by an ineffective use of serotonin in the brain, for example) and are often treated with medication.  If mental illness was purely psychological and not biological, medication wouldnt work would it?! Use of most illegal drugs (Heroin, Cocaine, LSD, Ecstacy) can also cause mental illness over time through destroying brain regions and depleting neurotransmitter levels. Anxiety disorders can be also treated with medication-I'm sure you get what I'm saying about how biological mental illness often is!\nAs for the last part of your question, Alzheimers disease can often make elderly people confused about 'time'-they may believe they are only 25 years old when indeed they are 70.  This is because the disease affects (among others) the brain region known as the hippocampus, which is closely related to memory. \nAbuse could make someone act much younger than they are because they feel as though their childhood was stolen and hasn't yet been lived-this is prominent in sexual abuse, where the individuals were forced to partake in very adult behaviours as a child.   \nI hope this all makes sense for you!  All the best!


One Summers day I was lying in the sun on a lake jetty, I was kind of dozing alone in the sun and very peaceful and warm, when a kind of vibration started up almost like a rumbling, I heard the lake and the surrounding countryside say "I AM GOD" it was a slow deep rumbling kind of voice and it is quite clear to me even now, the water shook and rippled the trees shivered.\n\nThe thing is I was kind of dozing!...also to be considered was that I had been brought up a Catholic with all this type of indoctrination about God and whatever so it was still in the back of my mind, even though I had left the church behind...\n\nI now accept that it was a very realistic aural and visual hallucination but others who have this type of thing occur to them might think they had experienced a rare visitation ...it's not every day one hears the voice of God after all.\n\nThink of people lying in hot desert lands, maybe a bit dehydrated...what kind of aural & visual hallucinations might that bring on?

Considering your catholic up bringing it's great that you are being logical and looking at this objectively, not running around screaming 'I have seen the light!' \nThe fact that you were dozing does make this experience less reliable- I myself have the weirdest  dream-sort-of-things in the realm between sleep and wake, and hear voices often. It is often just your brain processing the days events and getting bits muddled. Also, I would imagine God would have something a little more useful to say than; 'I AM GOD'.\nThen again, you never know. Don't ignore that this happened, but don't set about changing your life because of it.

What's FPGA ? As fas as I know, it's quite the same with DSP.\nIn DSP, we first evaluate and test the software using evaluation board (which include DSP itself and additional peripheral), then  start the actual chip production. Is this also happened in FPGA ? What's the meaning of FPGA board (that as big as 40x40cm) ? is it evaluation board ?

A Field Programmable Gate Array or FPGA is a semiconductor device containing programmable logic components and programmable interconnects. The programmable logic components can be programmed to duplicate the functionality of basic logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, NOT or more complex combinatorial functions such as decoders or simple math functions. In most FPGAs, these programmable logic components (or logic blocks, in FPGA parlance) also include memory elements, which may be simple flip-flops or more complete blocks of memories.\n\nA hierarchy of programmable interconnects allows the logic blocks of an FPGA to be interconnected as needed by the system designer, somewhat like a one-chip programmable breadboard. These logic blocks and interconnects can be programmed after the manufacturing process by the customer/designer (hence the term "field programmable") so that the FPGA can perform whatever logical function is needed.\n\nFPGAs are generally slower than their application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) counterparts, can't handle as complex a design, and draw more power. However, they have several advantages such as a shorter time to market, ability to re-program in the field to fix bugs, and lower non-recurring engineering costs. Vendors can sell cheaper, less flexible versions of their FPGAs which cannot be modified after the design is committed. The development of these designs is made on regular FPGAs and then migrated into a fixed version that more resembles an ASIC. Complex programmable logic devices, or CPLDs, are another alternative.


Everybody told her to "follow the yellow brick road", and the Wizard will take care of you. Then she picked up three bums on the way who all had issues. Finally, she meets the Wizard and he is a FAKE.

I think that if her pony tails weren't so tight she would have socked him and knocked him on his pretentious rump. \n\nor Maybe it was about ToTo.  He kind of looked like a snitch.  He would tell Auntie Em. She would have been really upset with "Dotty" if she had done something that disrespectful to a learned man like the wiz--even if he was all mirrors and curtains.


Is this Bible lesson appropriate for my students or even accurate?\nDonkey sized penises in the Bible? Does size matter?\n\n"Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days \nof her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. \nFor she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of \nasses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses." (Ezekiel 23: \n19-21) \n\n"and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of \ndonkeys, and whose emission was like that of stallions." (Ezekiel 23: \n21, NRSV) \n\n\nDoes the Bible teach us that the size of a penis matters? \n\n\nShould I teach my students this Bible verse in Public School? \n\nMy principle backs my teaching of God's word in class. She is a real Christian that believes Jesus' Law to be above State Law.

I think the real question is: "why are you preaching God in a public school?"\n\nYou could be offending any number of people. Public schools are there to accommodate all religions, races, creeds and social standings, not just Christians. Your Principal should be fired if she allows this just because she too is Christian. She would probably never allow a Muslim teacher to preach Islam, so why the double standard?


Why do you think that marriage and divorce are fifty fifty? Ok, I was extremely guilty of that thought until I went throught it. I got up, made breakfast, woke him up, took care of the house and kids and even gave him lots of money for weekly expenses. He was having flicks before we were married. The final was when his boss called and told me about my husbands love life. Please do not judge.

We as people are easily blind--especially when it comes to something that will hurt us!! We want to believe the best in our partners (or even kids for that matter) if we just think happy thoughts than nothing can be wrong right?? Well this is what people do all the time! They think that if you can't see it isn't really there, it is away of protecting ourselves from getting let down, having a broken heart! No one wants to be hurt or get hurt, but it is away of life something we have to come face to face with eventually! Nothing is ever 50/50 although in marriage it should be--however there are always three sides to every story:HIS, HERS, and the TRUTH!! I am not here to judge-you or anyone-I have no right to that, and I am very sorry for what you are going through, I pray that you will be able to work this out with YOURSELF!! Remember, it is not forgive and forget-us as people never forget, and forgiving is something you have know you have in you, I am not a forgiving person, so he would be out the door for me, however, if you are please consider consoling for the family, not just you and your husband but for the kids to!! Good Luck to you all!!!:)


Since it would be private companies that would be selling the oil on the global commodity market anyway?

The liberals above me have no idea what they are talking about\n\nIt is simple supply vs. demand economics.\n\nRight now there is great demand for the product of oil.  For one, China has greatly increased their consumption of the product. \n\nThere are two reasons for a limited supply of oil to the U.S. Both unfortunately are due to liberal legeslation.\n\nThe two reasons are, lack of crude oil, and lack of refineries to refine the oil.\n\nThere is almost as much oil in alaska as there is in the middle east.  There is even more oil offshore, where the liberals won't allow us to drill.  You can now see oil rigs south of florida, however they are not ours.  They belong to China, who is drilling with permission from Cuba.\n\nWe have not built a refinery in 30 years due to strict liberal legeslation.  It has also not allowed current refineries to expand their opperations.  We currently lost one of the few refineries we have in Hurricane Katrina. We can not refine enough oil for our needs at the speed we need due to the lack of sufficient refineries.\n\n It does not take a rocket scientist (although liberals cant seem to grasp the concept) to understand that we are not consuming less oil than we did 30 years ago. \n\nWe need more refineries, and more oil from our own country to lower the price.\n\nWe obviously need to work on other fuel options, but that will take time.  In the meantime, work on what we know.\n\n--\nthis anti bush stuff is really getting old.  "bush is an oil man, he only cares about oil, which is why its expensive.  he's not rich enough, he just wants all that oil for himself"  'We went to Iraq for oil, thats why oil is so expensive", "bush is an idiot, even though he went to the same school as Kerry, and got virtually the same grades".\n\nGrow up liberals, and start thinking for yourself, and stop believing people like michael moore and bill mahr.


A young wife, her boorish husband and a young good looking sailor were shipwrecked on an island. One morning, the sailor climbed a tall coconut tree and yelled, "Stop making love down there!" \n\n"What's the matter with you?" the husband said when the sailor climbed down. '"We weren't making love." \n\n"Sorry," said the sailor, "From up there it looked like you were." Every morning thereafter, the sailor scaled the same tree and yelled the same thing. Finally the husband decided to climb the tree and see for himself. With great difficulty, he made his way to the top. The husband says to himself, "By golly he's right! It DOES look like they're making love down there!"

How should I ask this guy out that I really like but  not sure if he likes me more than a friend? How would you guys handle this if the guy was you?

well, i think you should start a conversation w/ him and then once there's a long pause you could just kind of slip the question. if he says no don't freak out though. just think to yourself that he wasn't good enough for you and that it was his loss.


im not worried about noise disturbance..... just out of concern... or could that cause worse problems? ive never talked to them/dont even know them.

I think you can do this anonymously.  In my case, I make a judgment call based on how long the noise lasts.  If it is a brief thing that doesn't disturb me for too long, I let it go.  If it continues for a long time, I would call.\n\nMy motivation would be different from yours.  Their business is their business.  But if their business disturbs me and my family for an extended period, then suddenly it isn't just "their business" any more.
