please dont write your lie. be seriously. that question is very important

Ottoman Empire former Turkish empire that controlled much of SE Europe, the Middle East and North Africa between the 14th and 20th centuries. It was founded by Osman I (1290-1326). He ruled a small principality in Anatolia, which he greatly enlarge at the expense of the Byzantine Empire. The contest with the Byzantine ended with the capture of Constantinople (now Istanbul), which become the Ottoman capital in 1453. Under Suleiman I (the Magnificent) (1520-1566), the Ottoman Empire include the Arab lands of the Middle East and North Africa, SE Europe, and the East Mediterranean. The decline of Ottoman power began before 1600, and thereafter, Ottoman territory was reduce in wars with its European neighbors, Austria and Russia. After World war 1, when the Ottoman territory was reduced to roughly the present Turkish borders, nationalist led by Ataturk deposed the last sultan and created the modern Turkish Republic (1923). Major defeats were in Vienna, Lepanto and Malta.  In Malta the Turks were defeated even if they had more solders and were more armed than the Knight of Saint John and the Maltese.


Why don't you choose one??? I don't get it. We spend our time answering these questions and you just forget to even look back at the answers you got. Why?

I never leave an open question. It makes me feel uncomfortable.


I am starting a fraud case re: NSF checks, promises of payments, and promises of legal responsibility for Cellular\nbilling on a specific phone. I am uncertain if I start the procedure by contacting the Police (OPP) in Ontario, Canada,\nor whether I have to contact the Crown Attourney.

You would call the police.  They are the ones that lay the charges.   We see American TV shows where the DA is involved in investigating the case - that doesn't happen in Canada.  The Crown Prosecutors just handle the court case.\n\nIt may be that the police refuse to lay charges - if they don't feel you have enough evidence to convict.  In that case, you could talk to a civil litigation lawyer about suing.


i'm afraid to seek my dream ..for if i failed i will lose everything....and failure  doesn't depend only on me but also on circumstances that i have no control on......\n\nyet staying still....i'll do just fine ...but will have no purpose in my life and no meaning to it.\n\nshould i seek my dream or should i learn to be content with what i have ??

A 17th-century poet wrote that the greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become.\n\nI think he's right. Most people live, work and operate way below the level at which they are truly capable of.\n\nBut to answer your question, I would say that it's a good idea to stretch yourself and go out of your comfort zone, little by little.\n\nIt is not necessary to go for your "dream life" because it would put too much pressure on you for nothing. Just do something every day that makes you feel alive.\n\nAnd it's definitely not necessary to "risk everything." Life is like a casino, except that the more you play, the more you can improve your odds of success.\n\nI coach entrepreneurs on launching their companies, and the issue of fear comes back often. I always tell them that "the presence of fear is simply the absence of knowledge."\n\nYou can do anything you want in life, and pursue any goal, as long as you keep learning from people who have done it before and heed their advice and counsel. The more knowledge you gain, the more confident you will be, and the less fear you will have.\n\nLife is just too short to be content with what you have. In fact, your asking this question is the proof that you are seeking something else! :-)\n\nGood luck!


I'm taking my 2 kids, ages 9 and 4 - to the St. Patricks day parade downtown on Saturday.\nWhere is a good place to sit?\nDo we have to sit in stands - or should we bring our own chairs?\nI'm hoping they will not be 6 rows behind people so they can "see" things -\nAny suggestions??\nThanks

You guys should bring chairs. I think since it is a parade it will be really full on the stands. You should also come early because it gets full easily. Try and go as close as you can because your children won't be able to see. When I was younger I had to be on my mom's shoulder.


Would you give him a warning first or automatically knee him in the groin?

it's easy to say what you will do but when actually doing it, its hard to do.  That happened to me coming off the train in NY, this guy grabbed my butt.  And I was so hurt, but also afriad he might hurt me if I said anything to draw attention.  If he has the balls to do something like that and not think about the consiquences who knows what he is capiable of.  So be careful, its better to get a male to handle it for you.\n\nAnd let me tell u this horney crazy men are not affected my kneeing, you better be ready to fight after you do anything to hurt anyone whether its male or female.  If u hit just know you will always be hit back.  And if he is big u might not get back up

if the welfare system is a concept taken directly from the communist theories, then we truly don't have any capitalist government in the west. I’m confused.

A social "safety net" , such as welfare, is not socialism. Socialism is the ownership of all assets and wealth by the state.  welfare is more appropriatly described as a redistribution of wealth. The source of the wealth is taxation of other individuals, the state is only a middle man, not the source of the wealth.


most of u have put a cartooni picture on how can i do that?

Scan your picture through a scanner and paste it here or simply buy a webcam!If you want your cartoon, then sign up on yahoo!, go to your account and you will notice a shadow of a face on the screen. Click it and make your own AVATAR afterwards!


Im realitivly new to physics with tons of psuedo questions. Just wondering if you could give me any info on :\n1.Do Brains have any effect with/on/to the electro magnectic and vice versa?

The elcrtomagnetic spectrum is used as a tool to determine what frequencies are high or lower than others. \nThe anserw to your question I guess could be yes, because the brain does send signals in waves, so it is on the spectrum somewhere.


My bf and I were recently assaulted and stabbed during a home invasion robbery. My bf was almost killed, having been beaten with a 6 cell mag light. I tried to cover his head with my body and got stabbed. Now I want to know as much as I can about the two a$$holes that did it. They got caught two days later, but the cops are too swamped to do a lot of detailed background, but I want to. What would you do to learn about these people?

I'm so sorry to hear about your circumstances.  I couldnt imagine what you have gone through.  There are a few free searches that investigators have ....otherwise, you would need to pay for the investigation.  Please email me and I can try to help.  If it costs me though, it would cost you.\n\nemma____@yahoo.com\nNorthwest Investigation


I have noticed that every webpage I have opened in the Mozilla Firefox browser does not completely finish and usually i get empty areas such as if a series of photos that should be on the webpage usually most of them download but the odd ones dont or a part of a banner doesnt show or somthing like that. Its very frustrating to see an incomplete page every time. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this happens? Is it a bug or something else? when I use Internet Explorer this does not happen and yes i do have a high speed connection...

Possibility one:  Firefox lets you customize so as to allow all images vs. allow only those images from the same site as you are viewing vs. allow no images at all vs. exclude images from specific sites (and perhaps more options).  If only images are missing, check this Firefox setting.\n\nPossibility two:  You have a hosts.txt file -- see http://www.google.com/search?q=hosts.txt --  specifically designed to exclude anything from well known ad sites.\n\nPossibility three:  You are seeing all of the images but what is missing are the things that use Flash or some other plugin that you have not set up for Firefox.\n\nThere may be other possibilities as well.  The above seem to me to be the most likely.

I get these Violation Email Notices and then when I go and look at the question there was seriously nothing wrong with it. The system they use is messed up or something.

I've gotten a couple. If you challenge them you're reffered to their "policy" of "Oh. We can DO WHATEVER WE WANT..."\n\nEasy answer is that there are some YahooCRATS drunk with power and not generally bright enough to drawl "You wan' FRIES wif THET???"


im not saying i do, but do you think they are?

Yes England is overrated. They don't know how to develop young players\nif you look at tams like Brazil and Spain they are constantly producing young talented players, something that as of recently Engald has struggled at. Plus they don't have any good goalkeepers.


I need to find a phone number for this company that took my money but forgot to send my package.

I have to get up and talk in front of a group and am very nervous. What is a good method to get over this and not mess up because your soooo nervous?

jus practice your speech so you know what your saying and make sure you understand it, that is the best advice to help nerves because if you do not understand what you are talking about then you are going to mess up. People say imagining the people in front of you naked is the best idea but that would just make me laugh so i suggest trying out your speech in front of friends or family first. Just don't worry to much, its only natural to be nervous. Good luck!

He sucks up to me all the time but i see him all the time.

Ask yourself, 'what is it that I like about him?' It sounds like this doesn't work with your current lifestyle. What is his relationship with her? Are they co-worker? another-wards are they entitle to this time together? or Are they friends, and he chooses to spend this time with her? If this is the case, get him to take you out for a dinner at a nice restaurant. Get him to buy some nice wine. Spend the evening together having a beautiful time together, THEM DUMP HIM! Hand him a flower and card with a thank you for the consideration, but no thanks! Good luck! PS my friend is good looking and single.

There are some 11 yr olds with parents that are sad all the time and their are able to comfort their parents, explain to their parents about the situation that they are in, share feelings and tears with parents, and talk and solve their parent's problems. Afterwards parents cheer up and think that their child is very helpful. Usually at that age, kids are too young to do that. But if 11 yr olds can do that, why can't other 11 yr olds do that. There are some 16 yr old even 21 yr olds with parents with problems and they NEVER can comfort them. If 11 yr old can, why can't someone 10 yrs older than them can't. The question i want to ask is: WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE ABLE TO EMOTIONALLY COMFORT THEIR PARENTS AT AGE 11 WHILE OTHERS AT AGE 16, 17 OR EVEN 21 CAN'T? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? ARE THESE 11 YR OLD SMART AND 17 YEAR OLDS STUPID AND FOOLISH?

And that it was a part of Serbian state for number of centuries?

remember the war clinton waged there? this is the effect.


i have always believed it's alright not to choose the "correct" (most people approve of) decisions, occasionally.  my reason is that, i know i might learn more from them and that i'd appreciate more the right way of doing things when i "suffer" enough.  and that i might discover alternatives or yet better ways.  is this foolishness?

No... but then again... I'm a perfectionist.


alright, you need to understand this much more than you need the correct answer. You won't have Yahoo! answers to help you on any tests.\n\nYou need help factoring. A real-life tutor who can talk to you and show you in person is best, but I'm going to try to help you understand. \n\na polynomial is in the form ax^2 + bx + c. This is from the formula of (Z*x + q) * (R*x + p). Don't let all these letters scare you. They are just place holders for numbers. \n\nThe only thing that can get the letter A in Ax^2 +bx +c is the first two parts of the "terms" you need to multiply together. With letters a= z*r. In order to get C, you only need to worry about the last parts in the terms. Using letters c= q*p. B is what makes sure you know what two terms were multiplied together. B = z*p + q*r. In order to "factor" out a term from a polynomial you have to find the set of z, p, q, and r that works. I'll show you now with numbers.\n\nLet's say you have the equation 2x^2 + 8x +8. See, it's in the form of ax^2 +bx + c. a=2, b=8, c=8. NOw you have to figure out the facotrs of 2 and 8 (which are a and c)\nfor a=2 the numbers that are multiplied together to get two(the factors) are 2 and 1. Since you know that only the first two parts of the things you multiply together have to get you a, you can set up something that looks like this: \n(2x + ?) *(x + ?) \n\nNow you need to find what two numbers fit into your equation to get you c=8. The factors of 8 are 1*8 or 2*4. Let's try putting 1*8 into the equation.\n(2x+1)* (x+8) = 2x^2 +17x + 8. That's not right, so lets try to reverse them.\n(2x+8)* (x+1) = 2x^2 +10x + 8. That's not right either, so we know only the factors of 2*4 will work in this equation.\nLet's try them\n\n(2x+2)*(x+4) = 2x^2 +10x +8. It may seem like we've tried each of the factors, but we can still reverse 2*4.\n\n(2x+4) * (x+2) = 2x^2 +8x+8. That's right. Once you get more practice and understand this better, you can "see" certain factors that have to be included just because "factoring" will be automatic. But, just to make sure you should always check you answer like I did when I showed you the example.\n\nNow that you hopefully understand the hard part, perfect squares are easy. All you do is take  the square root of 'a' and take the square root of 'c' and put them into the equation. When it is a PERFECT SQUARE this works because of: ax^2 + bx +c = (z*x+ q)^2. ax^2 = (zx)*(zx) so a = z^2, and the square root of a = z. c = (q)*(q) so c = q^2, and the square root of c= q. I'll use numbers now.\n\n100x^2 + 240x + 144. a = 100, so the quare root of 100 = 10. z=10. Then the square root of 144 is 12, so q=12. That means y=(10x+12)^2. Now, to find b, all you have to do is foil it out.

I have a B.A. in English. My work experience includes proofreading and writing.  I've had a difficult time finding jobs in the southwestern city I live in, and am getting tired working for a boss.  I enjoy learning new things about health mostly, but also am interested in many other subjects, so I'd offer my research services to people or businesses that don't have time to do research.  Yes, they could use Google or Yahoo Answers, but I would offer to do more thorough research. I would use not only the Internet, but also go to the library and bookstores to search for info-then offer to write up my findings in a summary....Does this sound like a good service to offer? How much would I charge? Based on my level of experience, or looking at what other "information consultants" might charge?

I'm a new PC user, and bought my first one back in October. It has a DVD + and - writer, but I can't seem to find anything to burn onto it. I was on certain sites, like wwe.com(the wrestling company) and wanted to burn some of the windows media player videos, but can't. So is there any sites that you can burn movies, tv shows, sports, etc.? Thanks for your help.

Do you plan on burning these onto DVD so you can watch them on your DVD player connected to your television? Or do you plan on watching these on your computer screen. \n\nIf your going to watch these on your television the movies will look very bad due to the compression that was done on them to make the files small on the web. It would be a major waste of a DVD and your time doing so. \n\nIf you plan on burning a lot of these compressed movies onto a DVD so you can watch them on your computer monitor, it would be ok but dont expect any high definition videos from any site that is streaming the video or offering it free to the public.\n\nDVD burners can be used for more than just movies and things like that, you can use them for backing up files on your computer just in case your computer has a problem down the road.

There is a home remedy that has helped me with sinus problems. It may sound wierd but it worked. Try mixing HONEY and APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey add 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of the vinegar. I know it sounds nasty, but it's cheap and it works.

Is there any treatment, that my be effective at any level, at any incriment.\nThanks

Treatment for bipolar usually involves medication, education, and therapy.\n\nMedication- tons of options, varies person to person\n\nTherapy- needs and frequency will depend on the person.  It may be most helpful with people with comorbid (coexisting) conditions- such as anxiety, drug addition, post traumatic stress disorder.  Group therapy may be helpful for some.\n\nEducation- you and your loved ones should learn about bipolar and learn to recognize your moods and changing mood.  It can help to stop an episode or get help quickly if you can identify an episode before it becomes serious.\n\nEven though I am more into "natural" alternatives and dislike depending on drugs (who wouldn't?) I think this 3 prong approach works.  I have faith that I can drop the therapy and some drugs in the future.


How can I find out more about prostate cancer? I dont know exactly what it is. I want to help him how can I? What are the side effects?

www.mayoclinic.com is a good site, with good information.  Just go to the oncology section or search their site for prostate cancer.  You may also try Web MD.  \n\nIf you prefer, Colin Powell's book on prostate cancer is quite good as is the book by Dr. Patrick Walsh.\n\nYour boyfriend's Urologist probably has a good bit of literature regarding prostate cancer as well.  Often times available for check-out or simple distribution - just ask.  Most of these items are geared more towards the newly diagnosed patient and really help gain an understanding of the process.\n\nAs for the rest of your question - \n\nProstate cancer is an abnormal process of the glandular tissue of the prostate.  It is a very common cancer, and when detected early through PSA testing and exams on a routine basis, very manageable.\n\nEarly on, prostate cancer rarely has any symptoms, which is why  screening is so important.\n\nTreatments are based on a patient's specific presentation, age, stage of cancer and personal preferences. \n\nJust by being concerned and learning more abut the disease, you are being a help to your boyfriend.  Best wishes -


I remember a time when being called a Conservative was nearly as slanderous as being called a Liberal is today.\nWhen you look up the definitions of both terms... Conservatives resisted change, went by the rules and were generally thought of as stodgy old men smoking cigars at 'the club'.\nLiberals, on the otherhand, were "for the people", hippy-generation types. Always looking to change the world.\n\nWhen I look at the news and political terrain of today, I see that Liberals are about on par with calling someone a Communist in the McCarthy Era. The Conservatives of today seem quite a bit more militant and bent of rewriting history and our constitution in one fell swoop.\nI do not consider myself either. I like to think I'm like the American Majority...being a Middle of the Road type of guy. I dont agree with either side and it disturbs me that the system is so far out of balance.

I think really it depends on what camp you talk to as far as bad and good. People I work with can't stand Neocons...and I try to be well balanced but tend to lean more toward being a Neocon. Needless to say I keep my thoughts on any political matters to myself, because I don't feel strongly enough to have it interfere with a job I like.\n\nDeep down I just wish people could agree to disagree and just get along. Stop with the labels and just work toward to the good of humanity with kindness and love.


think before you even attempt to type the first letter to answer this question, the guy with the wackiest answer wins!


Why is it that women have obtained equal rights,but don`t have equal obligations?I have never heard of a man getting custody of the children and the woman being ordered to pay child support.Why is that?If women are truly equal,then they are physically and emotianally able to be put under the same burden as any man.Have you ever heard of a woman paying her ex husband alimony?I haven`t.

That is not so anymore. There are alot of women who pay alimony and child support.  I was one of those women.  I had a terrible pregnacy and my other children stayed with my mom for a while and the courts ordered me to pay child support and when I got behind because of just having a baby they threatned to lock me up.  I know several other women who have had to pay too....so only men paying is a thing of the past!!!


I'd call it a pretty even trade.\nBoth are decent 4th starters in extremely strong divisions.\n\nI'd probably give the edge to Arroyo, all things being equal innings-wise, going from the AL to the NL.  However, Arroyo is more likely to head to the bullpen as a long-reliever than Towers, given the available alternatives on both teams.


Her mother came crying to me and ask if theres any hope of him becoing straight again. He did have a few girlfriends in the past. Could it be due to rejections that he refused to have any more relationships with ladies and instead was badly influenced by friends who are gays? Can any chuirch pastor or elder advise on this?

If he was truly saved, and is falling into the temptations of Satan, he will turn away from it (one day) and go back to following Jesus. \n\nIf he was never saved, then it will be harder for him to resist these temptations.\n\nSatan knows that God hates homosexuality, and he is using this to either spite God, or to keep this man from ever receiving the Blessing of true salvation. \n\nWhen you speak to his mother, pray with her--everytime, as often as she comes to you. Tell her to love him, no matter what. Tell her that no matter how mad her son may get that it is her duty to quote scripture to him about homosexuality. Tell her not to shun his partner, but to love him as she does any other person in Christ. \n\nThat doesn't mean that she should accept them behaving like lovers at her house or in her presence. She needs to set ground rules and say, "You may both come here, but you may not act unnaturally in my presence. And, as your mother, I would ask that you respect me enough to NOT act this way when I am in your presence, at your home." \n\nHer son will reject her and Christ, as long as he feels that he is being attacked. She must find a way to love him, unconditionally, just as God loves all of us. \n\nShe must also share this with as many true Christians as she can, so that they can pray for her and her son, as well as his lover(s).\n\nI would also like to add that she needs to let her son know that not only is he sinning against God, but against himself, and the men that he lays with.


I need some info on tennis like when/where it originated, who invented it, and basically the history on it.  I know about the grips and the rules, but like I said, I need the history.  I have to give a presentation on tennis for P.E., so any info would be great!  Thank you

The Origins and Early History of Tennis\nFrom Jeff Cooper,\nYour Guide to Tennis.\nFREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!\nAncient Egypt or Medieval France?\nThe earliest origins of tennis are a matter of some dispute. \n\nOne side believes that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans played a precursor to tennis. Drawings or descriptions of any tennis-like games have not been discovered, but a few Arabic words dating from ancient Egyptian times are cited as evidence. The theory says that the name tennis derives from the Egyptian town of Tinnis alongside the Nile and the word racquet evolved from the Arabic word for palm of the hand, rahat. \n\nAside from these two words, evidence for any form of tennis preceding the year 1000 is lacking, and most historians credit the first origins of the game to 11th or 12th century French monks, who began playing a crude handball against their monastery walls or over a rope strung across a courtyard. \n\nSponsored Links\nFree Tennis Racquets\nWilson, Prince, Dunlop & more.

Many who dispute more ancient origins argue that tennis derived from the French tenez, which meant something to the effect of "take this," said as one player would serve to the other. \nAs the game became more popular, courtyard playing areas began to be modified into indoor courts, where the ball was still played off the walls. After bare hands were found too uncomfortable, players began using a glove, then either a glove with webbing between the fingers or a solid paddle, followed by webbing attached to a handle -- essentially a racquet. Rubber balls were still centuries away, so the ball was a wad of hair, wool, or cork wrapped in string and cloth or leather, then in later years, hand-stitched in felt to look something like a modern baseball. \n\nThe nobility learned the game from the monks, and some accounts report as many as 1800 courts in France by the 13th century. The game became such a popular diversion, both the Pope and Louis IV tried unsuccessfully to ban it. It soon spread to England, where both Henry VII and Henry VIII were avid players who promoted the building of more courts. \n\n12Next

During the 3rd month pregnancy, observed the hair loss is more than before pregnant. What causing this? And what to do?

Hair loss during pregnancy is uncommon. If hair loss is severe or occurs in round or oval patches, consult your doctor. This may be due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency.\n\nPregnancy-related hair loss most often occurs several months after delivery. During pregnancy, an increased percentage of hairs are in a growing phase and normal shedding of hair declines. After a woman gives birth, a large number of follicles shed hair at once. Although unsettling, this hair loss is temporary. Hair typically returns to its normal fullness and growth cycle within a few months.

Gross income for my corp (c-corp) was less than $100,000 for Year 2005.  Net income after salary and expenses was about $25,000.  I need to pay estimated tax and was wondering what the corporate tax rates are.

Your tax rate is 15%.  This is assuming that this is straight income from operations and that you had no gain on the sale of assets.

slice the bread and freeze it; take one slice out at a time.(that prevents mold) good bread begins molding in three days. You must be buying real bread because most store bought bread can sit on the counter for months and never mold


similar in beliefs, personality, etc. as yourself?

Yes, it's very true because there is more magnetism between people who are on opposite ends of the character spectrum. However, this is just attraction and it takes more than just that to maintain a long term committed relationship. You have to have enough common ground to build it on.  Just enough though because otherwise the relationship will be quite passionless. Attraction is needed for passion.  Compatibility or common ground is necessary to take that passion further and to prevent it from dying out.


Today is a good friend´s birthday but yesterday a good friend of his passed away.  I called him yesterday to see how he was doing and was really upset. Should I call him up today and say "Happy Birthday" or is that out of the question?

Of course you should call him up! While your at it, say something like, "I am so sorry for your loss, i know he meant a great deal to you." \nDuring times like this, it's not so much what you say, it's being there to listen. A grieving person usually wants to tell someone their memories of that person, share moments they had. It honors their memory and keeps them alive in the minds of those who loved them. \nI think it is cool that you are concerned enough to want to do the right thing! Good luck.

Had this card in his name only when still married,let it expire,got a divorce. Five years later gets a notice and call from collections. He talked to the credit card company had an alert put on this card.He wants the bills so he can see them since it was sent to his ex's address. Can his ex get cards in his name even tho they are divorced?What are his options?

Here's the thing, if she racked up the bill while they were still married, he's stuck with it. If she got a NEW card account in his name after they were divorced, it's fraud and illeagal, sue her.


how do i tell if a girl is flirting with me? i'm probably the worst at judging it...

If she pays more attention to you than any other guy, that is a clue.\n\nAlso, if she goes out of her way to get next to you, then she is flirting.


what is gain one electron?what is gain two electrons?what is steal one electron?what is steal two electrons and what is never ever react electron?

Gain one/two electron(s):\n\nIf an atom or ion acquires another electron in a chemical reaction, it has gained an electron.  ditto for two electrons.\nExample: S has 16 electrons.  If it gains one electron it becomes a S- ion.  If it gains two electrons, it becomes a S-2 ion.\n\nSteal one/two electrons:\nIf an atom or ion looses an electron in a chemical reaction, it had to go somewhere.  That "somewhere" will be to another atom/ion.  So, the receiving atom/ion could be said to have stolen the electron.  Same goes for reactions involving two electrons.\nExample: Na reacts with Cl to produce NaCl.  Cl "steals" an electron from Na, creating Na+ and a Cl- ions.\n\n"Never ever react electron"\nI have never ever heard this phrase.  Maybe it refers to a species (atom or ion) that does not participate in the reaction.  It's valence electron(s) would not react.

Gotta tell you nicorette gum was the best; and the flavor wasn't bad either.  Start chewing the amount you need to cover your nicotine intake (the gum comes with a chart).  Decrease; by one stick each week until your done.  It was the most painless way I ever quit smoking and I had quit cold turkey on several occasions.

Why is the "International Community" Silent about this breach of UN Resolution 242?

First of all i would like to clear for "love_2b_curious" that not all jews-as they believe are "God's ppl" ...you have to diffrentiate between true jews applying the judaism instructions and the zionists who kill innocent ppl aganist the istructions of judaism and ofcourse God-tell me now how can God choose someone who is not applying His religion as His chosen ppl...Do not confuse.\n\n"God's ppl" are the ppl applying ALL His instructions not only the instructions that are suitable for their interests.\n\nAs for why is israel still occupying the gaza strip and the west bank,while the international community is silent about it,is simply because the zionist lobby controls everything and also because there are many like love_2b_curious,ppl like u who r not well informed and ofcourse it's not their fault but the fault of the intenational media that is obviously also controled by the zionists.


I pose this question 'cos, most of the youngsters aren't worried about their future. They give more importance to cine actors/actresses than our country. All they could do in college is show off exposing their egos. They don't consider the pain their parents take for them. Is this gonna change or be the same for ever?

They do this in part because they are not mature enough to deal with the real world.  I'm not being critical of them. I have too many problems of my own.  These "kids" were not taught a great deal of personal responsibility as children.  That rests squarely on their parents shoulders. Now they are having children and have less chance of teaching their own children responsibility.  It will likely get worse before it gets better.  Some day maybe parents will step up to the plate.


I've had excema since birth, and I am now 34 and STILL have it! ANybody have a cure!

Moisturizing\n\nDermatitis severely dries out the skin,and keeping the affected area moistened can promote healing and retain natural moisture. This is the most important self-care treatment that one can use in atopic eczema.\n\nThe use of anything that may dry out the skin should be discontinued and this includes both normal soaps and bubble baths that remove the natural oils from the skin.\n\nThe moistening agents are called 'emollients'. The rule to use is: match the thicker ointments to the driest, flakiest skin. Light emollients like Aqueous Cream may dry the skin if it is very flaky and whilst it is the moisturiser traditionally prescribed by doctors in the UK, it is in fact only licensed for use as a soap substitute on washing.\n\nEmollient bath oils should be added to bath water and then suitable agents applied after patting-dry the skin. Generally twice daily applications of emollients work best and whilst creams are easy to apply, they are quickly absorbed into the skin and so need frequent re-application. Ointments, with their lesser water content, stay on the skin for longer and so need fewer applications but they must be applied sparingly if to avoid a sticky mess.\n\nTypical emollients in the U.K. are: Oilatum or Balneum bath oils, Aqueous cream for washing with, Diprobase or Doublebase pump-action creams also used for washing and may be later applied directly to the skin. The preferred moisturiser of dermatologists is a mix of liquid and white-soft paraffins. Sebexol, Epaderm ointment and Eucerin lotion or cream may be helpful with itching. Moisturizing gloves can be worn while sleeping.\n\nSome report improvement of symptoms after treatment of the skin with porridge oats, either directly or with an extract. Others report improvement of symptoms after treatment of the skin with the rich natural oils contained Repcillin, a skin balm containing crocodile oil.\n\n\nEczema and detergents\n\nThe first and primary recommendation is that people suffering from eczema shouldn't use detergents of any kind unless absolutely necessary. The current medical school of thought is that people wash too much and that eczema sufferers should use cleansers only when water is not sufficient to remove dirt from skin.\n\nAnother point of view is that detergents are so ubiquitous in modern environments and so persistent in tissues and surfaces, safe soaps are necessary to remove them in order to eliminate the eczema in a percentage of cases. Although most recommendations use the terms "detergents" and "soaps" interchangeably, and tell eczema sufferers to avoid both, detergents and soaps are not the same and are not equally problematic to eczema sufferers. Detergents increase the permeability of skin membranes in a way that soaps and water alone do not. Sodium lauryl sulfate, the most common household detergent, has been shown to amplify the allergenicity of other substances ("increase antigen penetration"). (For example, Corazza M, Virgili A, Allergic contact dermatitis from ophthalmic products: can pre-treatment with sodium lauryl sulfate increase patch test sensitivity? Contact Dermatitis.\n\nThe use of detergents in recent decades has increased dramatically, while the use of soaps began to decline when detergents were invented, and leveled off to a constant around the '60s. Complicating this picture is the recent development of mild plant-based detergents for the natural products sector.\n\nUnfortunately there is no one agreed upon best kind of cleanser for eczema sufferers. Different clinical tests, sponsored by different personal product companies, unsurprisingly tout various brands as the most skin friendly based on specific properties of various products and different underlying assumptions as to what really determines skin friendliness. The terms "hypoallergenic" and "doctor tested" are not regulated (according to Consumer Reports), and no research has been done s

Is there are Islamic version of the Kabbalah? if so what are the books, and who are the teachers?

There is no direct correlation of any text of any other religion with with the Kabbalah.  The Kabballah, taken together with the Zohar (or Book of Splender, a commentary on the Kabbalah written in Aramaic), form the basis for the largest collective group of mystics in the world today.\n\nMost of Islam does not support mysticism with the exception of the Sufi branch.  Although much of the Sufi text is poetry, there are several works dealing with mystic topics but few of these have been translated into any foreign language.\n\nAbjad is not a book, but a term often used to describe Arabic Numerology.\n“The word abjad is an acronym derived from the first four consonantal shapes in the Arabic alphabet -- Alif, Bá, Jim, Dál.”


Please be honest with this question.  Do you think he was a good fighter?  -or- Did hollywood just made him become a good fighter?  Ex. Michael Jordan is good at basketball no question ask.  Can we say that Bruce Lee was a good fighter in martial arts?  I can't tell if it was Hollywood that made him good or was he really that great and touched a lot of people's lives in terms of fighting techniques and on living life (general).

I only heard this story...\n\nA martial arts expert didn't believe that Bruce Lee was a great fighter either. He got so envious with Lee's popularity that one day, when he was able to get near Bruce and after shouting some invectives at him, he challenged Bruce to a fight...\n\nBruce, who at this instant was already angry, released a lightning kick that hit its target so hard that it knocked out the man...\n\nIf that really happened, then I should not doubt his ability as a great fighter.


define the word SEXY:& what does it mean to you?,are you sexy?,and why do you think that(easy 2 point)

SEXY = a female by seeing her i get hourny.\nyep i am sexy\nbecouse i am very handsome


This question is driven by a town rec dept who's policies I am suspicious of and my desire of course to optimize by 13 year old son's althletic experience and peformance. He is 5' 3" tall and weighs 165 pounds. The are saying he must use a 30 or 31" bat that weighs 25 or 26 ozs respectively. These bats are very hard to find. I just bought him a 31" bat that weighs 23 ozs and am hoping this meets national standards given his age and size.

I've always though the standard was a waist high bat and have the kid hold the bat straight out. If he can't hold it straight it is too heavy.

what is the relationship between the two?

There is certainly some relationship between teacher effectiveness and student achievement.  If there was no realationship, then we could hire anyone to be a teacher.  An effective teacher can stretch a student to his maximum potential, can motivate unmotivated students.  However, a number of other issues and factors need to be considered.  \n\nHow do we define student acheivement?  Other posters have touched upon this issue.  For example, who is the better teacher - the one who is finally able to teach the sixteen year old to tie his own shoes or the one who teaches 30 AP students to all get A's in their math course?  Who was the more effective teacher?  From my experience, it is much easier to teach the AP students, less demanding in terms of patience and ideas and strategies.\n\nYes, mechanics may be judged by how well they keep cars running, but they are not expected to turn a manual transmission into an automatic transmission for example.  Nor are they expected to turn a car that uses fuel injection into one that uses a carburator.  They are not expected to make a 15 year old car get the fuel mileage of a new car.  When people talk of evaluating teacher effectiveness on the basis of student achievement and make comparisons to the work of a mechanic, I cringe.  How can we compare the workings of a hunk of metal to the workings of a child's mind?  A car does whatever you program it to do - if you do the adjustments as suggested in the  manual, the car behaves in a predictable manner.  Not so with children - they are individual little beings, with their own personalities and issues.\n\nSo if student achievement is to be a measure of teacher effectiveness the powers that be must understand that not all of us are capable of A's.  Not every child is capable of learning to read.  Some learn faster than others.  For some kids high achievement will be learning to tie their shoes at 16 years of age.\n\nAnother factor that has been mentioned is that all of us are good at some things and not so good at other things.  How do we tease out that factor in evaluating teacher effectiveness?  How do we allow for the differences caused by living in poverty?  What about the differences caused by a poor command of English?  What about the differences caused by emotional turmoil in the home or violence in the home?  How does overall school climate affect teacher effectiveness?  How about administrative support - does that have a role in teacher effectiveness?  What about "truancy and tardiness"?  There are statistical ways to make some allowances for some of these factors, of course, but then we are talking about very large samples. \n\nThere is no doubt that student achievement and teacher effectiveness can be improved.  There are "best practices" that will make a huge difference.  Interestingly enough, smaller class size has been identified as one of the best predictors of improved student achievement, but teacher quality does matter.  \n\nThis is a complex issue, not readily answered definitively. The research suggests that investing in teachers - better training, better support, better resources, better pay - can make a difference in student achievement.  However, evidence-based research in education presents many problems because of the human factor.\n\nThe bottom line is that multiple sources of information must be used for assessing teacher effectiveness. \n\nI've included a number of sites that discuss the issue.

having a fantasic job you love\nor a fantasic gir/boy you love and loves you?


They love each other they intend to marry after my girl finishes school, she has one more year. Sometimes I think that I shouldn't have accepted this. The boy is working he is very good and I consider him as my own son. However, I still think that maybe I was wrong. What is your opinion?

Your right but make sure you make it clear she finishes school and they do get married.Its not he will get her knocked up after living in its like 24/7 being together and it doesnt work out.put condition that she finishes school gets married then has a child since i know of a similar thing happening to a friend of mine and after living in she got knocked up and it didnt work out LOOK OUT FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS FUTURE PUT CONDITION THAT SHE FINISHES SCHOOL GETS A JOB GETS MARRIED THEN HAS CHILDREN.your a very good mothers.best of luck.


My 11yr. old step sister normally comes home from school very late even though the school is only two blocks away.\nThis Friday she came home early with a limp, I massaged her leg and found that her inner thigh muscle was very stiff. She said that she was running home and it started to hurt her.

You can if you are sprinting and straining to run your fastest. But, it would be strange for a child to have this type of problem. Athletes who are constantly trying to develop their abilities tend to have these types injuries. Kids don't usually strain muscles by just running.

Conan O'Brian said Trump put one up like 1 ft. away from his building. Blocked his whole view. Then when Trump came on his show one night he expressed his anger over it, because he had to move.


so wich setting is the best to get top perfomance and be fast ?

If the hard drive supports SATA, then that is by far the best interface to use.  It is faster than IDE.\n\nRAID is not an interface type, it is a type of configuration that can make data storage more reliable by duplicating data on the hard drive or adding error correction information.  Unless you are using this drive for business purposes, you probably don't need to worry about RAID.


Is there anything that makes this god very interesting or very different from the other gods?

Poseidon controls the sea, is brother to Zues, and father of Triton. At one point in time he claimed Athena was his daughter, but Athena decided she would rather be Zues's daughter since she thought Poseidon quite stupid. He competed with her for Athens, and obviously lost.He spent most of his time racing the waves, which horses are presumabley modeled after, and striking up sea storms. \nHe is the only god that controls water, and the nereids. Not to mention that he was the only one who got a gift with his domain. The old sea god, Proteus maybe?, willingly gave up his underwater palace and his daughter, Amphitrite, to Poseidon and went to live in an unknown sea grotto. I guess you could say he was somewhat peaceful, though prone to violent mood swings.

Why do all these questions keep getting posted HERE?


Nothing you get to do more on yahoo answers thats it.  Its pointless. lol


I will ask this over and over till he has a ton of posts-- I am really upset-- and I have no reason to be-- I feel sorry for the kid\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlKba2uLD_4UNiGGrHKTEtXsy6IX?qid=1006030808006

I am both saddened and disgustened.\n\nYou should check out the question where he asks if it is okay that he hit his girlfriend twice in the mouth and then kicked her when she fell to the floor.  And all in front of her kids.\n\nClassy!


I need a little help! If you've seen my most recent question (prior to this one) you would know that I like this guy... well long story short I need advice on flirting! Both Physical and Non-physical... By the way I don't want to do anything that might harm either of us (lol. I had an accident flirting with a guy once and i sorta tripped an hurt my ankle really bad. the only thing that came out of that was that he took me to the nurse).

This is hard...how far are you willing to go.  I only ask, because there are numerous things that you can do. This depends on him and what kind of image he may have of you.  You always want to be yourself...don't try to be something you are not.  Disappointments are not good.  Try to have short conversations with him.  Statements that leave him hanging and wondering...What did she mean by that???  He's gonna come back to find out...if he is intersted.  I once left a post it note on a man's door with my #.  He called 20 mins later.  Subtle things work the best.....Okay, well it helps if you enjoy some of the same things.  Interraction is your best bet.  Some girls don't need to flirt...and honestly you prob don't need to.  If he is a fresh too, he might not get it.  But if he is a playboy...is that what you want?

4 weeks ago my girl just broke up with me. She told me that she needed some time by herself. She still has pictures of us posted on her Hi5 profile. I wrote a song and gave it to her. She was glad to recieve it, but I was hoping that with the song she was going to come back running into my arms. Obviously she didn't but she started sending me cute messeges to my mobile, but in none of them she uses the phrases: i miss u, or send u a kiss, that sort of things. Is she still interested? If she wants to spend time by herself why does she even bothers to send me those cute messeges such as: "have a good night, sleep tight".

I think she is demanding. All the girls sometimes do it. Though she has your picture and sends cute messages, I am warning you not to have high hopes. Try to ignore. But I am sorry if you really love her. Time will solve the problems. I will pray for you. Be good.


My husband is not circumcised, he has trouble because his penis doesn't "peel" back and its very painful for him, he can hardly enjoy any sexual activity. Will getting circumcised fix him?

Adult Circumcision\nJOHN R. HOLMAN, CDR, MC, USN \nMadigan Army Medical Center \nTacoma, Washington \nKEITH A. STUESSI, LT, MC, USNR \nPuget Sound Family Medicine Residency, Naval Hospital \nBremerton, Washington \nAdult circumcision can be performed under local or regional anesthesia. Medical indications for this procedure include phimosis, paraphimosis, recurrent balanitis and posthitis (inflammation of the prepuce). Nonmedical reasons may be social, cultural, personal or religious. The procedure is commonly performed using either the dorsal slit or the sleeve technique. The dorsal slit is especially useful in patients who have phimosis. The sleeve technique may provide better control of bleeding in patients with large subcutaneous veins. A dorsal penile nerve block, with or without a circumferential penile block, provides adequate anesthesia. Informed consent must be obtained. Possible complications of adult circumcision include infection, bleeding, poor cosmetic results and a change in sensation during intercourse. \n\nCircumcision is performed on an estimated one out of six male newborns worldwide.1 Over 60 percent of male newborns were circumcised in the United States in 1992.2 Circumcision in adults is performed much less often; however, accurate statistics are not available. Adult patients often have a medical indication for the procedure, but circumcision may also be done for social or purely personal reasons. Adult circumcision is usually performed in the outpatient setting by urologists. However, family physicians who practice in isolated or rural areas and who are adequately trained may also offer this procedure. All family physicians should be prepared to advise their patients about the indications for adult circumcision and, if necessary, make appropriate referrals for the procedure. \n\nIndications and Contraindications \n\n \nThe most common indications for adult circumcision are phimosis and paraphimosis.  \n \n \nAlthough there are numerous medical indications for adult circumcision, none of them is very common.3 The most frequent indication is phimosis, a tightness of the prepuce that prevents its retraction over the glans.4 A patient may also complain of pain with erection or during intercourse. Paraphimosis, the unreplaceable retraction of a narrow foreskin that causes a painful swelling of the glans, is the second most common indication for adult circumcision. Acute paraphimosis is a urologic emergency requiring reduction of the foreskin through surgical or nonsurgical methods. Recurrent balanitis and posthitis (inflammation of the prepuce), preputial neoplasms, excessive prepuce redundancy and tears in the frenulum are also medical indications for adult circumcision.5 \n\nPatients may have social, religious or personal reasons for requesting a circumcision.6 It is important to explore these reasons with the patient to ensure that he has a thorough understanding of the risks and benefits of circumcision and alternatives to the procedure. \n\nThere are no specific contraindications to adult circumcision in the literature; however, patients with active infection, possible squamous cell carcinoma of the penis or anatomic abnormalities of the external genitalia should be referred for a urologic consultation. \n\nInformed Consent \n\nIt is important to provide the patient with adequate information about the procedure ahead of time. Specifically, the patient should be told about the risks of bleeding, hematoma formation, infection, inadvertent damage to the glans, removal of too much or too little skin, aesthetically unpleasing results and a change of sensation during intercourse. The patient should also be informed that, during the postoperative period, erections can cause pain and disruption of the suture line that may require replacement of the sutures. Full recovery following circumcision generally requires four to six weeks of abstinence from all genital stimulation and sexual activity. \n\n \nFull recover


There used to be websites that allow you to enter your ID and the persons ID and you can remove your ID from that persons messenger.

You can remove yourself from other person messenger. NOT EMAIL. It works only with messenger. \ntry searching the internet (use google) to find "Buddy remover" or something like that. \nLEMME WARN YOU, SOME WEBSITES MAY CONTAIN ALL SORTS OF MALWARE AND VIRUSES. \ndownload the buddy remover, generally they are exe files, so BE CAREFUL. \nthen, simply enter the id of the person from who's messenger you want your name removed. \n\nhope that helps.


My husband and I are looking to buy a house in either menlo park, palo alto or los altos.  We are trying to learn as much as we can about the public schools from kindergarten through high school. We would love to hear your opinions and a bit about you such as if you have kids there now, had kids or learned about them from being an educator.  Thanks so much for your feedback.

Go to a local high school that gets students from all the schools and ask to talk to a teacher of math or english.  Ask them where they are getting their best students.

Please don't say because women act like men because its a cop out answer the question. Truthfully.

In what context?  And just where are you from?\n\nHow do "so many" men act like women.  And just how many men do you know anyway?\n\nIs this a good thing?  A bad thing?  A good thing for women, but bad for men?  A good thing for men, etc.....\n\nI am very feminine in most ways, but I act like a stereotypical guy in others - for instance, I leave dirty clothes scattered around.  My husband is macho, but loves roses like I do and is awesomely romantic.\n\n\nThe thing is, we are people first, and male or female second (or third, fourth....).  When you say that "Only women should act like this" or "Men should never act like that" you are placing artificial boundaries on people's behavior, and that can only be detrimental to our world.  Only by allowing all of us to employ what works the best for us regardless of archaic sex roles will our society even have a chance at fulfilling our potential.


I need to analyze a site for a computer class I'm taking. I'd like to get your opinions. Let me know what you think, in terms of colors, theme, graphics, content, attitude, point of view, main purpose, the person behind the words, etc. Or anything else you can think of. Thanks a bunch!\n\nSite:\nhttp://www.niquehappy.com

I like the color scheme of the site.   The format is very nice and clean.  I like they frames and layout when I click on the various links.  Overall job well done.  I really like your heading!! :)  \n\nI did find a few things that, if I were the designer, I would change:  The "Did you know column" light violet font may be hard for some people to read, blends in too much with the backround.  Also you have several links on the bottom of the page (photo gallery, advice column, etc.) that you have already included in the left-side frame.  I would remove the ones at the bottom.  The green flower buttons move and are cute, but the page may seem "too busy" to your audience- definitely remove the double-posted links. \n\nGood luck! :)


Can anyone tell me the origins tangent and cotangent.  Like how they were originally used, where they came from and how they were originally used?\n\nPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me your sources.

TANGENT comes from the Latin TANGENS, the present participle of TANGERE, \n"to touch." In other words, it means "touching." It was originally \napplied to the line segment AB in the figure: the segment of the \ntangent to the circle at A that is cut off by the extension of OB. The \nratio of the tangent AB to the radius of the circle, OA, is the \nTANGENT of angle AOB.


Ok, i have two sons ages 18 and 14.  My oldest son chose to go live with my ex and his wife and their 3 children.  He claims that he hates my husband ( even though the man does every thing he can to please my oldest ) The problem is, my ex and his wife are lazy S.O.B's and wont work at a pie factory tasting pies!!!! my husband and i work and make ok money.  when my oldest left, i told him not to be calling me for money, let his dad take care of him.  now he calls wanting money all of the time.  my ex never sent me money when i needed it for the boys!!!  i took care of them by myself until i got married.  so i told my son hell no, im not sending him any money.  i feel he's 18 and grown. and his daddy needs to get off his fat azz an work.  I ll always remember what my son said to me before he left  " Im grown, and u cant tell me what to do!!!"  So I let him be grown, and stop sending money. Am I wrong???  (sorry so long)

No I do not think u r really wrong.  Your ex sounds like an idiot and you did great by making him an ex!  But u do not stop being a parent when they turn 18.  My son will be going to college and soon and he says the same thing- Im an adult now- I can things for myself but in the next breathe he wants me to cook him dinner!  lol.  Being 18 isnt the end of parenting.  I would say it depends on what he wants the money for!  If its for a $200 pair of shoes- hell no!  If its for food--- or a dental bill- maybe possibly they r still our kids even when they turn 18 and r lippy little     s h i t s  u sound like a great mom!


as soon as I meet someone's eyes I just have the feeling that I'd like to melt I just start feeling cold and it really has influence on that person what can I do ? please please and please if you want to make fun answer my next or last question I want to know how to be more freidly with the people I meet? any advice? how can I be more self confident?

First SMILE  (that will be easy) Then say HI (another easy one) Then when you are home alone start thinking of nice questions that you could as people.....start by thinking what you have heard other people say that you admire....You can always think of something nice to say about a person such as I really like your hair, you have beautiful eyes, great outfit, what have you been doing lately, ask about school subjects if you are in school, ask about movies or CD's that you have wondered about, you get the idea.  The main thing is to be your sweet self. The more you force yourself to say nice things to people, the more comfortable you will become. Soon it will be easy!  You are not ashamed....you are only shy....that is okay and you will do just great....don't forget your beautiful smile first, okay????  Now start writing down some interesting questions you can think of to ask anybody...just general stuff....and go over it in your mind so you will be ready. You will be amazed at how easy it will become for you!!!  Hey, I already like you....because you are an honest, sweet, person by asking this question!!!!


I have a program that I wrote and I want people to download it from my site. So that people don't steal the software, I want to have a page (lets call it download.php) where they first need to enter their username and registration code. PHP checks if these items match in a database, then refreshes download.php, this time with an applet. That part is easy.\n\nThe hard part is making an applet that will install it on their machine. I'll sign the applet and everything, so that the files can download from the server into Program Files/My Program, but then the question is how to make this program show up in Add or Remove Programs. Obviously I could make a setup.exe file that they could download instead of using the applet, but then there would be no security because they could just reuse and distribute setup.exe. Is there a registry key or something to actually "install" a program on Windows without just putting the files there? How do installers like InstallShield Wizard do it?\n\nThanks a lot

The applets you describe simply download files to a directory and autoexecute a standard installer. The installer does the rest.\n\nFor the ones you've seen that don't have much or any user feedback, either the applet has used a Web form to retrieve the information needed in advance, or the installer just proceeds without user input.


It had no arm or legs that I could see. It was black, with grey and white markings-lighter on its belly. It was no more than 12" long if that, and about 1" in diameter. It looked and acted more like a large worm than a snake...could even be some kind of lizard. Anyone know what this could be or what it's called?

Mmm... there are many kinds of legless lizards. I don't know where you live, but if it looked like its tail was missing, then it _was_ a lizard, because snakes do not autotomize their tails. Another good detail is if it looked like it had eyelids. Snakes don't have mobile eyelids, but snake-like lizards do.\n\nDid it look anything like this?\nhttp://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/f/f6/200px-Anguidae.jpg\nhttp://homepage.mac.com/jmdelacre/.cv/jmdelacre/Sites/.Pictures/reptiles-geniez/Chalcides-minutus2-web.jpg-thumb_269_202.jpg\n\nI'll check back :-)\n-------------------\nI'm back! Hey, that's great. If what you saw is indeed an Anguidae, the common name is "glass lizard" (glass, because they seem fragile, as they autotomize their tails really easily).\nThe most common species in Florida seem to belong to genus Ophisaurus. I suggest you do an image search using the genus name, you'll probably find the right species.\nOh, glass lizards are not dangerous, but they can bite!\nSee description of common Florida lizards here:\nhttp://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/UW061\nThis species is common:\nhttp://www.wildherps.com/species/O.ventralis.html


why is fluconazole prescribed against cryptococcal infections in AIDS patients?

Potatoes like apples experience oxidization rapidly hence the rapid browning. Placing them in water slows down this process as they are less in contact with oxygen which triggers the process.


I have been suggested by an MBA counselor to go for a couple of options, one of which include JOINT MBA program that would make my career base versatile-looking.\n\nI would like to know a little more about the joint MBA option.

They are not the same.  Dual specialization is more like finance + marketing; leadership + organizational behavior; strategy + operations; etc.  You'll usually be able to complete it within the normal period of time.\n\nJoint Degree is more like Law JD + MBA; Bio PhD + MBA; ; Master in Architecture + MBA; etc.  Typically, these take a lot longer.


Not sure if spelling is right. I heard that the FDA won't allow it to be sold. Anyone have any history on it?

You can by all the Chaparral you want on line.It has been used for hundreds of years by American Indians for Cancer.It's the strongest anti oxidant known to man.Back in the 60's there was a woman who died from Liver failure and when they search her house to find out what could have killed her they found a bottle of chaparral along with a whole Pharmacy next to her bed.It didn't matter that she was taking a hand full of pills at a time that her Doctor gave her.It must have been the Chaparral.The evidence was not conclusive but they had a chance to blame something other than the Pharmaceutical drugs.We all know that Nobody Ever Died from taking a Pharmaceutical drug.  RIGHT????????


under network connections, we see one IP address under Internet Provider icon and this is different from IP under the icon of LAN. Which one is recorded by Google or other companies.

Typically the IP addresses on your LAN have been NAT'ted.  NAT stands for Network Address Tanslation.  That means the your entire network uses only one public IP address and the rest of your Network (the LAN) uses Private IP addresses.  NAT is used for security and also allows an IP addresss to support more end points. The Public IP address, the address on your router, or the one facing the internet, is the one that gets recorded.

Do they cause Gum diseases (When do not brush) of teeth cavaties?, how about watery fruits like Water Melon?\nSay you had just brushed your teeth, and had one cucumber for example, do u realy hav to brush again?

There is one general fact that all food cause "at some point" bacteria gathering on your food, if they don't have sugar, they might have fibers which still helps building cavaties..\nIf u'd just brushed and had that cucumber, gargle with water and salt or Listerin, after all the tooth paste protection was designed to last for some time in your mouth... and most importantly drink water.

I thought amylase was an enzyme from the pancreas, why would that enzyme be in the fluid drained from the pleural space? Why specifically? please please dont copy and paste and tell me what a thoracentesis is....i already know.  Thanks so much!!

when you get a pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), the pancreatic secretion may enter the pleural space through retroperitoneal space. so if amylase raises in pleural fluid, it may indicates that effusion is of pancreatic origin. \nglucose helps differentiate the nature of pleural fluid.\nfor example, glucose > 40 mg/dl: no infection\nglucose < 40mg/dl: infection probable.


I do that alllll the time.  My husband is ex military and some people see him as very rigid and a down right a** but my opinion is yep- he's an a** but he is MY A**.

This is an algebra work problem. \n\nDoug can deliver his papers in 45 minutes. If Med Helps, they can finish in 20 minutes. How long would it take Meg working alone? \n\nPlease, show all steps to work out this problems. Thanks!

If Doug can complete the route in 45 minutes his rate is 1/45.  Together we are told their combined rate is 1/20.  Meg's rate alone is the unknown.  So\nDoug + Meg = 1/20\n1/45 + 1/X = 1/20\nSolve for X = 36, so 36 minutes for Meg.\n\nShe is a little quicker than Doug.


I am really wondering...what pleasure do girls derive from giving a guy a.... you know.... a blow J. I mean I've seen it in the movies and heard stories and experiences about it. But I just cant figure out what do they get from it.  I mean guys off course would benefit from it... a lot..... but girls? Again, I meant no offense to anyone....just mere curiosity.

I love doing it to my husband just because i love doing it!I love his reaction and i love how it feels in my mouth. I'm a freak,and very proud!


My dell demenision 3000 is a dead stick it doesnt power on, however all the fans are running. On the back of the dell there are some letters that are lite up A B C D I am sure these represent error codes of some sort but I can't find a site that will tell you, and dell custormer service is worthless. On the back of the Dell There is a Flashing "A" and the "B" looks dim. and the "C" and "D" are green. Any Idea what this means? thanks.

Many Dell Dimensions have diagnostic lights on the rear of the case or on the motherboard itself. Normaly 4 lghts and they should all be lit if computer starts correctly.\nI think yours may indicate failing memory. In any case if you are not getting the usual bios 'bleep' as the computer starts followed by the black and white bios screen it can only be one of these three things;\n\n1. Faulty processor\n2. Faulty memory\n3. Faulty power supply unit \n\nThese are all fairly easy to replace but would recommend you take it to a qualified repair shop to test each of the three.\n\nHope this helps........


I live in Melbourne Australia so it may be a bit different to see in the sky down here

The Cross is nearly circumpolar to most parts of Australia (more so for New Zealand). That is, only briefly - in September through early November - does it dip for a time below the horizon. Even in these months later in the evening, just before sunrise, it usually does make an appearance. By early January, around midnight, the Cross is nicely visible.\n\n    So, in the midsummer months of the Southern Hemisphere, after night has fallen and all the stars have appeared, you will first marvel at the very pronounced Milky Way, a broad band of slightly lighter sky stretching across the center of the skies from south to north, packed with many brilliant stars.\n\nFacing South, two very bright stars in the Milky Way will be seen quite near the horizon, one roughly above the other. These are - from above down - beta Centauri (Hadar) and alpha Centauri (Rigil Kentauri). These bright stars are typically called "The Pointers" as they point toward the Southern Cross. Drawing a line from alpha through beta, continue up a very short distance and you will encounter the Cross lying on its left side.

I could see MLB expanding in Vancouver, British Columbia.

British Columbia attempted to attract a Major League team to the area in the 1980s, but their campaign was unsuccessful at the time. \n\nExpansion to B.C. is seen as a longshot for two reasons - one, because of the relative proximity of nearby Seattle (just 138 miles away), and perhaps more importantly, two, because the metropolitan area of Vancouver only has about 2 million residents, which isn't considered large enough, by Major League Baseball standards, to support a home team.\n\n(Two million residents sounds like an awful lot of people, but consider that the New York Yankees home attendance in 2005 was 4,090,696 - equivalent to the entire population of the metropolitan area of Vancouver attending 2 baseball games each and every year.)\n\nBy the way, in response to another respondent's suggestion - baseball is unlikely to seriously consider expansion to Japan any time soon - and anyone who has ever travelled on a flight between the United States and Japan can surely understand why. (And for those who haven't - non-stop travel times from New York City are 14 hours and 24 minutes to Osaka and 13 hours and 48 minutes to Tokyo.)

I once saw a guy sit on top of a girl and just start wailing on her boobs...disgusting? Just wondering how painful that would be?

In gym class, we were playing floor hockey and one of the boys whipped the rubber ball into the air and it hit me in the chest...hard.\n\nNot only does it hurt like hell (especially if the girl is on her period and they're already sore...OUCH), but it can really knock the wind out of you as well.\n\nFun stuff. Don't try it at home.


the guy buying the stuff is obviously trying to buy her affection.  some girls sell their affection for stuff, some just take the stuff, say thanks, and walk away.  some girls turn down the gifts.\n\nsometimes humans act like bowerbirds, and it's pretty damn funny.

Shouldn't he take all responsibilities of damages in Iraq since    the U.S. invaded. . .

To use a poker term,"He's all in".......but he is bluffing, has been since he took office actually. But like the boy who cried wolf, his bluffs never work anymore, so 67% of the american population just laughs and looks on while he pushes all his chips into the pot and proclaims, "I'm all in"...."I guess I will leave this mess for the next administration".Not his problem anymore folks. Guess we better select our next president now, perhaps buy out his contract since he has all but resigned himself to be the lame duck that he is. But boy oh boy, he sure does give a good speech (as long as it is to people that he has had screened) I would like to see him come to the northeastern states and give us a dog and pony show like he does when he tours the southern military bases. That would be epic.
