The Maya had specific techniques to create, inscribe, paint, and design pottery. To begin creating a ceramic vessel the Maya had to locate the proper resources for clay and temper. The present-day indigenous Maya, who currently live in Guatemala, Belize and southern Mexico still create wonderful ceramics. Prudence M. Rice provides a look at what the current Guatemalan Maya use today for clay. Highland, Guatemala has a rich geological history comprised mainly from a volcanic past. The metamorphic and igneous rock, as well as the sand and ash from the pumice areas provide many types of tempering. In the area, there are a range of clays that create varied colors and strengths when fired. Today's Maya locate their clays in the exposed river systems of the highland valleys. It is hypothesized that the ancient people obtained their clay by the same method as today's Maya. The clays are located in exposed river systems of the highland valleys. Most likely, due to the climatic similarities over the last millennia it is likely that these same deposits or similar ones could have been used in early times.\n\nOnce the clay and temper is collected, pottery creation begins. The artist would take the clay and mix it with the temper (the rock pieces, ash, or sand). Temper serves as a strengthening device for the pottery. Once worked into a proper consistency, the shape of the piece is created.\n\nA potter's wheel was not used in creating this pottery. Instead, they used coil and slab techniques. The coil method most likely involved the formation of clay into long coiled pieces that were wound into a vessel. The coils were then smoothed together to create walls. The slab method used square slabs of clay to create boxes or types of additions like feet or lids for vessels. Once the pot was formed into the shape, then it would have been set to dry for a until it was leather hard, then it was painted, inscribed, or slipped. The last step was the firing of the vessel.\n\nLike the Ancient Greeks, the Maya created clay slips from a mixture of clays and minerals. The clay slips were then used to decorate the pottery. By the fourth century, a broad range of colors including yellow, purple, red, and orange were being made. However, some Mayan painters refrained from using many colors and used only black, red, and occasionally cream. This series of ceramics is termed the "Codex-style", it being similar to the style of the Pre-Columbian books.\n\nFrom the 5th century AD onwards, post-firing stucco was adopted from Teotihuacan. By preparing a thin quicklime, the Maya added mineral pigments that would dissolve and create rich blues and greens that added to their artistic culture. Many times this post-fire stucco technique was mixed with painting and incising. Incising is carving deeply or lightly into partially dried clay to create fine detailed designs. This technique was mostly popular during the Early Classic Period.\n\nThe Maya were a diverse people whose culture has developed through the centuries. As they developed, so did their pottery. Archaeologists have found stages of commonality between types of ceramics, and these phases coincide with the Mayan timeline.\n\nMiddle Preclassic (900/800-250 BC) Late Preclassic (250 BC- AD 250) Early Mayan ceramics stemmed from a past that began even years before the Maya became a group. Originally, the early Maya used gourds cut into useful shapes to create vessels to carry liquids and foodstuffs. These portable and durable gourds made excellent containers. The first ceramics closely resembled gourds and many were decorated with rocker stamps and simple slips. During the Late Preclassic period, many of the ceramics took on appendages of tetrapod mammiform supports. These supports were four legs underneath the pot holding it up. Characteristic cream-on-red stripes colored these unique vessels.\n\nThe pottery of the Maya Early Classic dated from AD 250 to 550. The Maya soon began using polychro

what are the people in iraq fighting for?

to turn a US enemy into a democratic US ally. to turn Iraq into a US freindly country.


like they show pity towards a guy in a wheelchair compare to a guy who is has a hearing aid, or at a party/other outlets they show more interest in men who don't have a hearing aid making them hearing impaired men think they women think they are going to catch a disease or something or not good looking enough when searching mr. perfect.

Maybe you are watching the wrong women... Hearing aids in my opinion have nothing to do with the way a man looks thinks or feels. You can be just as attractive with one as you are without one. It's like a belt, ring, watch, it's something that can be removed if need be and is no big deal. My man could wear one during sex and it wouldnt bother me. Any woman that is descent isn't going to care. Good Luck

what is a function of a Plant cell and what is the function of the animal cell?

Cells are the little organisms that work together to make one big organism.  Your boddy has all kinds of different types of cells to do different things, like blood cells, nerve cells, etc.  Plants have root cells, leave cells (where the photosynthesis takes place, hence those are the cells with chloroplasts, which makes them do that function.)\nWhat's cools is that if you cut off a plants roots, it's cells for it's stem will become root cells and it's roots will grow back.  I don't think this works w/ peoplw/animals.  With people, a fetus's cells that have not been defined to a certain "task" yet will all do different things and can change to what they are needed for where they are as the fetus develops.  After it's defined, though, I don't animal/human cells can change as plant ones can, though.

Industrial engineering draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis, as well as mathematics, physical and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Industrial engineers work to eliminate wastes of time, money, materials, energy and other resources.


animals could fit inside.  \n\nPlease complete the 50 year old poem.  Thank you.

Noah's Ark\n\n  Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there lived a man named Noah.  Noah was a very good man, and God loved him because he lived like God wanted him to live.  Noah had a wife and three sons, named Ham, Shem and Japheth, and each of his sons had a wife. \n\n        It wasn't a very happy time on the earth.  There were big ugly giants that lived in those days, and people became very mean to one another.  There was a lot of fighting between people, and lying and stealing, and it was just all bad.  But Noah and his family were always very nice.  God became angry with all the mean people and the big ugly giants.  He was so upset with them all that he was sorry he made man on the earth, but he was very pleased with Noah and his family. \n\n        God talked to Noah one day and said, "Noah ... Noah.  I have to put an end to all of the bad people and giants on the earth.  I will destroy them all, people and animals, by sending a Great Flood, to wash them all away.  I want you and your family, to build an ark out of gopher wood.  Make it with rooms inside and make it really, really big.  Put a window in the top, so light can get in, and build a door on the side.  I want you to make it three stories tall with rooms inside." \n\n        God told Noah all the measurements to use in making the ark, like how long and how high and how wide to make it.  Then God said, "I am going to send two of every kind of living thing on the earth to keep them alive during the Great Flood.  They are going to live with you and your family on the ark.  And I will start my promise with you." \n\n        Oh my!  Noah had a very big job ahead of him.  He had never even built a boat before, let alone, an ark.  God told Noah just exactly how to do everything.  So, Noah and his family began building the ark.  They had to cut down big, tall trees for the wood and had to haul it to the place where they were building the ark.  They had to cut the trees so all the wood would fit together just right, the way God told Noah to.  They didn't have the same kind of tools back then, that there are now, so it took a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.  They needed tar to go between the wood, so that the water couldn't get in at all. \n\n        They had to build separate pens for all the different kinds of animals.  They built big pens for the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes.  They built medium sized pens for the medium sized animals, like the cows and the horses.  They built smaller pens for the smaller animals, like the deer and the sheep.  And they built little cages for the little things, like the chickens and the birds.  They also had to build places to store all different kinds of food, for all the different kinds of animals.  Yes, it was a very big job, indeed!\n\n        People made fun of Noah and his family while they were building the ark.  They laughed and said, "Noah, you crazy old man, there isn't even a lake close by!"  Every time they passed by, they had something mean to say to Noah and his family about how silly they were to build an ark.  They didn't know that God was going to bring a Great Flood to wash them all away. \n\n        Noah didn't care that the people were laughing at him.  He didn't let the people or anything that they said, bother him because he knew what was going to happen.  He was very happy doing whatever God told him to do, whistling and singing while he worked.\n\n        It took a very long time to build the ark.  Many days were spent cutting and lifting and measuring and fitting.  It was hard work.  When the ark was finished, God told Noah to start loading the ark with his family and the animals because in seven days, the rain would start.  God said it would rain for forty days and forty nights, and that would destroy every living thing on the earth. \n\n        So, Noah did what God told him to do, and he, and his family started bringi

They ask if I can babysit,if I can pick up their children from school, if they can borrow the phone, if they can leave my phone number in walmart optical, so walmart can call me, and I can let them know their glasses are ready,if I can buy something on avon.com because they don't have a computer,their son got lost and they came to ask me first if he was here...why??? one day I had to stop whatever I was doing because they got visit and on of their daughter did not like that visit so she came to my house to hang out for 6 hours or so...I mean what is up with that???? please let me know what do you think?

Being a freind is a hard job, and I know that a lot of people try to take advantage of NICE people. If you remember that everyone has to live someplace, and that you will not always get along with everyone you meet, I am sure that you will find a gentle way  to discourage this neighbor. try saying "I am very sorry but I am busy today, I am expecting a call from my aunt, she wrote a book and will be reading it to me over the phone so I can help her with the grammar" you get it? If you have enough excuses why you won't be available they will have to befriend another neighbor. \n The good side is that for every kindness you do will come back to you 7 fold . good luck!!!


i have a mac. when i click on view contacts or anything under address in yahoo mail nothing happens. this  only happens on my mac

Probably its the way how mac ie handles the code on that page. send a help mail to yahoo. they should have a solution to that.


When I click on the link that is in javascript, the popped up window doesn't display anything at all with only the window frame that I can see the original window underneath.\n\nBut it works fine with Firefox browser.

Without a link to the page in question (and what browser you are using, etc.), it is difficult to give you an absolute answer.  It could be that the content for that link is using a browser sniffer and won't display content for certain browsers; it could be that there was just a connection issue at the time you were using the non-Firefox browser; it could be that you have a pop up blocker enabled in the non-Firefox browser; it could be that the content is coming from a source that is in your browser blocked site list (assuming you have one set up); it could be that the content is in a format that the non-Firefox browser doesn't know how to handle (xml, etc.).\n\nWithout more details, that is probably the best answer I can give you.


I have two fans. They produce an equal volume of air movement. Should I use the DC (I have an AC/DC transformer) or the AC to save on power consumption?

no that is why our electricity is ran house to house in ac.  it is safer to operate ac and also more energy efficient.


im 18 and terribly afraid of getting pregnant and i dont want to gain weight?

as some people suggested, abstinence is the only way to avoid all risk of getting pregnant.  However, if that is not an option you want to take, there are alternatives that work very well if you use your head.\n\nCondoms are always highly recommended.  They have a good success rate of preventing pregnancy and STDs.  Even if you take a pill or some other form, you should still use condoms!  They are going to prevent STD which pills, etc can not do.\n\nHere's the deal - \nPills:  you have to take every day at approx the same time.  if you miss one or two it is not going to make you extremely fertile but the risk of getting pregnant does increase.  this can also cause weight gain and your body will take time to adjust to it (several months).  benefits can include very well timed periods, with flow & length of time decreasing the longer you are on the pill.  Also, studies show that risk of ovarian cancer decreases if you are on the pill for 5 yrs or more.  Ortho tricyclen also helps with breakouts.  if you do decide you want to get pregnant, you may have difficulty until you have been off the pill for several months.\n\nShots:\nCan make your period stop altogether after some time.  This (in my opinion) is good and bad.  good b/c no period, bad b/c that's what gives you the hint that you could be pregnant.  Also, weight gain is more of an issue on this.   You only get it every 3 months but have to go to the doctor.\n\nPatch-\nyou can wear it in one of about 4 places, change once a week for three weeks and then nothing the 4th week.  I haven't heard the best reviews about this and imagine that it would be like wearing a bandaid for a week.  can cause rash in the area of application.\n\nI haven't tried the ring or those other internal options.  best thing would be for you to talk over it with a doctor (you'll have to anyhow for a prescription).  think about what would work best for your life.  can you remember a pill everyday?  maybe you don't want a period at all?  is the risk of weight gain worth it?  also note that there is some interaction with antibiotics that will decrease the effectiveness of birthcontrol.


This is more of a warning than a question, all though feedback would be good to...\nThere are numerous people creating Myspace, Xanga and other personal pages. Posting pictures of everything from boyfriends, to getting drunk on the beach. Many people spill there whole lives onto these pages. I have had contact with several high level HR Managers, and a number of them have told me that when hiring for a job, especially the higher paying ones, they will do a search for the person on Myspace, Xanga, etc. because they can see what that person is really like. And just because you did it in your High School years don't mean they won't use it agianst you. Take it for what it's worth, but this is just something I have done some research on.

I saw a news story about that last week, pretty much said exactly what you said.

Hello! I’m wring a thesis .  I am in great need for more responses to the following questions.\nMaybe it is a boring and troublesome task for you to answer them, but I really look forward to y our reply. Thank you for taking your time. \n\nThe student has some problems to consult his teacher and they make an appointment at the office hour. When the student comes to the teacher’s office, the teacher wasn’t in. \nQuestion 1 : If your were the teacher, then would you apologize? What would you say to the student for your being late for 10minutes?\n           What do you think the severity of the offence on a scale : 1=low  2=moderate  3=high ?\nQuestion 2 :  if you were the teacher and you didn’t show up , then would you apologize? What would you say for you not showing up?\n           What do you think the severity of the offence on a scale : 1=low     2=moderate      3=high ?\nQuestion 3 : if you were the student and you are late for 10 minutes at the office hour, would you apologize and how?\n              What do you think the severity of the offence on a scale : 1=low     2=moderate      3=high ?\nQuestion 4 : if you were the student and you did not show up , then would you apologize? What would you say for you not showing up?\n              What do you think the severity of the offence on a scale : 1=low     2=moderate      3=high ?

A1: Definitely Apologize, I am sorry for being late and give the reason... low\nA2: I am very sorry for not showing up but (again give the reason...) moderate\nA3: I am very sorry for being late but what made me late was (reason) ... moderate\nA4: It would be tough facing the teacher but would really apologize .. I am extremely sorry for not showing up and give a good reason   HIGH!


My sister recently did a costume for herself making herself into a man.  She did such a good job that had I not known her features I would have never believed it was her.  Ive searched the net but cant find anything.  I really think she should go into this field.  She has a lot of natural talent.  Even my friends cant get over the transformation.  She did the bald wig (you cant even see the lines) the wrinkles, everything.  What advice can I give her?

Try looking for cosmetology schools.  I Think the Aveda Institute has one.  Or Encourage her to go work for MAC, the makeup line.  If she starts working for a makeup company, she will get experience, then she can apply for stage jobs, or for cosmetology departments at Disney or Busch Gardens.


Due to improper way(stressing too much) of shaving my beard, the whole area has become so rough that it is not possible to have a comfortable shave.\nI end up having blisters in the neck region.\nIs there a way to smoothen my skin in that area?

It sounds like you have "pseudo-folliculitis barbae". Basically, you have ingrown hairs caused by shaving. Unfortunately, there is not much of a treatment option out there. Some dermatologists are using new age lasers to treat but there is not a high success rate and it's very expensive. Some men try to alternate razors with electric shavers, but it doesn't really help too much. You may need to grow and maintain a beard. In the meantime, you can try doing an internet search. Just watch your pocket for quacks that claim to cure you. Insurance won't pay for these treatments...p


Basically, I am trying to figure out how much of my income I should withhold to pay taxes, both ohio and fed. I report every penny as "added income" on my taxes.\n\nThanks for any thoughts on this matter!

The safest (and maybe smartest) way to approach this is to look into filing a 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals.  It helps you estimate what your income not subject to withholding (such as your business) will be, and to calculate the estimated tax payment so you can make quarterly payments to the IRS.\n\nThis is advisable because if you under-withhold based on your income, you can be penalized by the IRS for it.  Here is a link to the form and its instructions.  You'll need Adobe Acrobat and/or its web plug-in to view it:

Sometimes I read or hear "You need 20/20 vision and not worse than 20/40 vision to qualify" and "I have 20/20 vision". What is it? And how to actually measure it? If you have 20/20 vision, what do you actually have in your eyes? How good can you see things?

Visual acuity (VA) is one of many components of the visual perception sense and is defined as the eye's ability to resolve fine details. VA is a quantitative measure to see an in-focus image at a certain, standarized distance. VA is the most common measurement of visual function that is performed in a clinical setting

Is it fun? Can you actually make a little bit of mad money while you're shopping? If you have, what company did you go shop through?

I worked for a UK company that does mytery shopping for a number of hihg-street names (inclusing shops, pubs, banks and others). It's not a bad job, but the pay's not guaranteed, you might get 10 jobs one week and none the next. If you're asked to buy something, you'll usually get paid for it and you might get to keep it. To be good at the job you'll have to be good at lying (a lot of scenarios involve pretending to be a particular type of customer) and you'll need a good memory as you'll have a long questionnaire to fill out after the visit.

if an individual passes away and they bequeth their estate to their brothers children (because they have no children of their own), but the children have also passed away, what is the order of inheritance?  Does it go next to the children of the children? Brothers and sisters of the original individual whom passed?

Every state has laws that specify how property is distributed if someone dies without a will, but the key is that the person must die without a will.\n\nMost wills have a clause that says what happens to the property if someone dies before the person making the will.  If the will is silent, then you need to look at state law and the laws will vary by state.\n\nConsult a probate/estate planning attorney if your area for further assistance.


What is 75 - 38 / 2 + 75 / 5 * 7 + 81 / 3 / 9 * 7 - 15 + 6 * 7? My son scream at this question when he was doing this question. You must follow order of opreations, as the textbook said so.

Yes, order of operations does play into this problem.  You must do all the multiplication and division first.  Then you can add and subtract what is left.  If you do all the math from left to right you will get a different answer.\n\nThis is done so that everyone will solve math problems in the same way.\n\nFor example, say two people are solving this math problem:\n\n8+4/2 \n\nOne person might say 8+4 equals 12. Divide that by 2 and you get 6.  Another person might say that you are just adding 8+2 (since 4 divided by 2 is 2). In the second case the final answer is 10.  \n\nIn order to avoid this kind of confusion, schools have been teaching everyone to do arithmetic in a certain order, or order of operations. \n\nUsing order of operations I'm getting 209.\n(Doing everything from left to right I got 321.559259259, which your son's teacher would probably say is incorrect.)

I've read experiments done by geeks that show that those lame auto-updates performed by WinXP if you ever turn it on, slows down your overall performance dramatically.  So is it better never to turn that auto-update feature on?

Normally the only updates you really need are "Critical Updates". So update manually and only choose Critical Updates to download.\n\nLook for "AutoPatcher". It is a collection of all patches for XP, 2000, or 2003. And gives you the option to do install or not whatever you like.\n\nI have two Win XPs installed on my PC. One with full patches and an antivirus installed, which obviously is slow, and I use for normal works including web browsing. Another one without any of these junks, which is so fast, and I use for my serious off-line tasks (it is a MiniXP installation).

I have XP Media and computer is connected to cable.  We record shows, but when I try to burn DVD I get an error that the file can't be decoded.  What software do I need to add?

Media can be saved in several formats, WMV,MPEG, DVR-MS to mention a few. Its very likely that your system has used one of the aforementioned formats. Windows Media Video file format(WMV) Movie File format(MPEG) or more than likely in your case Microsoft Recorded TV Shows format(dvr_ms). \n   The best recommendation I can make as far as software, to use for burning purposes from experience, is Nero6OEM or Nero7OEM.   This software will burn cd's dvd's in any format, but thats not  all, it comes with a complete set of templates for designing and printing your own cd/dvd labels and case jackets using your own images/photo's etc. Software for authoring/editing and burning your home dvd's or movies to dvd are also included. But the most useful tool I've found in this software is the ability to burn a complete back up of my Operating System to DVD. Nero7 would be the best choice as it offers PC and TV media management, quite possibly what you're looking for, sheduled recordings that can be burned directly to dvd.\n  You can download a free trial at " nero.com"..  \n     \n If your're really serious about recording TV content to your Hard Drive/PC, Beyond TV 4 by Snapstream Media is the only way to go. \n Shedule recordings that will automatically exclude adds and other space wasting crap. This software is VERY user friendly. So the old set and forget aspect of scheduled recordings holds true here. The software can be set to automatically omit ads/commercials and any other space wasting info. The quality and format of your recordings can be changed and adjusted easily. Oh and this software supports and records HDTV content. You will however need an HDTV tuner card installed in your PC to receive and and record HDTV content. Because the Software supports multiple tv tuner cards and can record from any of them simultaneously its really a win win situation. Check the ati link below for a reliable HDTV tuner card.


Why does the teacher wear sun glasses when she comes to the class?


Could someone tell me if there is a program or something I could download to protect my yahoo. Someone keeps booting me off, I keep changing my password and it does not work. Help me please anyone.

Someone may be hacking into your computer, possibly via Yahoo Messenger.  First, I would update my antivirus software and do a full system scan the then to the same thing for spyware.  I would make sure that you have firewall software.  I personally use Zonealarm Security Suite which has an antivirus program, IM security software, antispyware and spam filtering.\n\nIf you use IM software, set the software to reject any message from people not on your buddy list.


If I pay a bunch to download a ton of songs, and then my hard drive crashes, will they let me re-download all the ones I already had?

Believe it or not itunes will charge you for repeat downloads.\n\nI would strongly recommend using www.allofmp3.com over itunes, simply because they provide CD quality DRM free music downloads at considerably better prices than the itunes DRM controlled lower quality downloads. They also allow you to download your music as many times as you like and move it around to different PCs and drives more easily (i.e. easier to backup).\n\nRegardless of music site, you should backup your music collection. Its going to be quite an investment over time. At the end of the day you are on your own, if they go out of business or decided not to support you.


So people will be educated and civilized life will continue and the world will advance. You might find it boring but sitting at home all day is even more boring and you will feel start to feel stupid if you can't read or count to 2.


I would like to view some profiles of people in prison and I dont know what address to type in to do that.

Are you looking for a penpal? Trying to find a specific person?\nIf you want a penpal, do a search for prisoner +penpal\nBut be careful...there are lots and lots of people in prisons that would just be thrilled to have someone to exchange letters with, but there are also lots of guys who will try to use you... get a Post Office Box to use for corresponding so you don't have to give your home address to strangers and be really leery of anyone who asks you to send money or professes to love you after only a couple of letters.


I know it's impossible for a jet to fly off the Earth b/c it can never reach the escape velocity required, but it was never clear to me what exactly would happen if it TRIED.  Would it break apart like when something crosses the Roche limit?

Jet engines operate by compressing incoming air, mixing the compressed air with fuel, burning the mixture, and exhausting it to generate thrust. This process becomes more difficult as the air density decreases at higher altitudes because the compression is less efficient. The air density eventually decreases so much that there is not sufficient compression to support combustion. When this occurs, the engine will "flame out" and the plane falls into a dive until density increases enough for the engine to be restarted.


I have the psoriasis on my scalp and legs can anyone give me any ideas what can work to try to help with the itching and break outs that happen the scalp really can get bad at times and have to shave the head to try tio keep the flaking down Thanx Richard.

Can you use firefox and internet explorer.  Does firefox override IE.

Firefox is not tightly integrated into the Windows sysstem the way IE is. Firefox is also available for Mac and Linux, and all platforms' versions are updated at the same time. Firefox has fewer security vulnerabilities, tabbed browsing and additional features available through extensions.\n\nSpeaking of extensions, if you still have sites that require IE to work, you can simply install the IETab extension into Firefox, and have the best of both worlds.

then why wouldnt you want to live there?  If there was a country that I thought was better than the US, i would move.

People don't love their countries because they're the best, the love them because that's where they feel at home.  People like to say that their country is the best, but this is just an emotional expression of their patriotism, and not based on fact.\n\nComparing countries is like comparing apples and oranges, many of them are rotten, but most are good in their own way.

what is mental health and attributes on  good mental health

Mental health is a concept that refers to a human individual's emotional and psychological well-being. Merriam-Webster defines mental health as "A state of emotional and psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her cognitive and emotional capabilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of everyday life."\n\nAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no one "official" definition of mental health. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined. In general, most experts agree that "mental health" and "mental illness" are not opposites. In other words, the absence of a recognized mental disorder is not necessarily an indicator of mental health.\n\nOne way to think about mental health is by looking at how effectively and successfully a person functions. Feeling capable and competent; being able to handle normal levels of stress, maintain satisfying relationships, and lead an independent life; and being able to "bounce back," or recover from difficult situations, are all signs of mental health.


If I drop out of school  what can I do in my life?

paper or plastic?\n\nIt doesn't matter anyway, because anyone who seriously considers dropping out of high school, which is baby school compared to college, will end up working at McD's or a grocery store anyway-- or better yet, Walmart.\n\nGood luck.

I've never heard the song before, but I think, like many songs, the guy misses his girlfriend- he wants her to tell him she loves him- either that, or, if it is a girl singing this, then everything I just said should be flipped around. Sorry If that wasn't very helpful.


You are flying a kite at the end of a 200Ft. string. The angle of ELEVATION is 30 degrees. Your are holding one string @ eye level, 5ft. above the ground. How high is the kite from the ground?\n ( tricky huh )

actually its not\n the answer would be (sin(30degrees)*200)+5\nsin(30degrees) is .5\n.5*200 = 100 +5 = 105 feet in elevation\n\ndraw a picture and label everything as much as possible, you eralize that you have the length of a hypotenuse, so you take teh sin of the angle then multiply by the length of the hypotenuse to get the length of the opposite side, that gives you teh height from eye level, you now must add the level you are looking from (5ft)\n\nhope this helps!!


I'm attempting to purchase Web Hosting Service from Yahoo! Small Business and I'm unable to because there isn't an APO option for military/DoD personnel.\nPlease provide any info to help out.

Two suggestions for you:\n1. Send an email to Yahoo! Small Business and ask them how to resolve this. This is probably the best option, as I suspect that they really hadn't considered this (or they did, and they don't want to use an APO/FPO address for billing).\n\n2. Use the address of a relative in the USA for your billing address. Get their permission first, of course!\n\nHope these ideas help.


Nefazodone is generic for Serzone.  What are the symptoms when the medication is SUDDENLY stopped?

Each medication, depending on how many miligrams they were ingesting might cause a bad reaction if they go cold turkey.  Sleepiness and headaches are the most common.  You should seek your physician's help in stopping.


I dont no how these random questions end up in my head, but it would be nice to have some answers once in a while, ya noe?

You can try to register that name with a domain register like yahoo. Then you will need to set up a web site. Yahoo can do it all


Ahh. Finally an intelligent, meaningful, properly spelled and punctuated question.\n\nIn my educated opinion:\n\n1) Because of the way the German people were treated after World War I came to an end. The Americans, French, and English foolishly did not offer any aid to the Germans, but instead allowed the economic conditions in Germany to deterioriate. After WWI, Germany experienced a hyperinflation that, in practical terms, meant that the average person's standard of living got worse every month. People were quite unhappy, and Hitler exploited this unhappiness by pointing to a scapegoat: the Jews. (Please note that the opposite happened after World War II because of the Marshall Plan.)\n\n2) Because of a continuing and underlying hatred of Jewish people, not only in Germany, but across Europe. In my opinion, this hatred was not only tolerated, but to some extent encouraged, by the Catholic church. It goes back to the ridiculous idea that Jesus Christ was killed by Jews. When Hitler offered up the Jews as scapegoats, many Germans agreed with the concept.\n\n3) The unquestioning loyalty to goverment and country of the German people, and the unwillingness of good people to speak out before it was too late. See below.\n\n4) Hitler's brilliance as a motivator and public speaker.\n\n5) The average person's well-founded fear of Hitler's government.\n\nHere is a famous quotation from Martin Niemoller:\nFirst they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a communist;\nThen they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a socialist;\nThen they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a trade unionist;\nThen they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—\nbecause I was not a Jew;\nThen they came for me—\nand there was no one left to speak out.\n\nTHANK YOU for asking this question.


I often wonder if the United States is still united.  So many times our leaders disagree and start conflicts on purpose for political attention and for a popular vote in the next election...\n\nNow foreigners are feeding off our divisions in the United States...so are we going to stand together or fall divided????  What is your intelligent opinion on this matter.\n\nGod bless America!

I think it's first important to recognize the fact that they who you refer to as leaders are anything but leaders, they're politicians.\nPoliticians are skilled in the art of divide and conquer. Their entire goal is to get everybody as aggravated and confused as possible that way the people don't know exactly who they're voting for, and then the favor is based off of pure conjecture.\n\nIn my opinion, I think if people are going to be staunchly loyal, regardless of the politicians being right or wrong, then there will automatically be a rift between them and those who see it differently. If everyone agreed and submitted to the same thought process and there weren't divisions, where would we be? We'd probably be in the middle of a first-degree dictatorship right now.\n\nSo being divided as far as having different views isn't inherently bad. It builds intelligence to debate issues...ONLY in the case that those issues are real and would have an impact. Problem is they don't. we keep squabbling over stuff that doesn't matter. Or at least if it has some merit, it's put to the forefront of debate while the issues of much higher importance that should get people moving and shaking get entirely ignored. That's what politicians strive to get us to do.\n\nNow another misconception people have is the fact that seceding from the Union is illegal/treason. It isn't. There is much debate if what Abraham Lincoln was doing was right. He was a good president, but he had no real right to force the union to stay in tact.  There's nothing wrong with doing whatever peaceful means possible to prevent it, but having a war because of it defeats the purpose. It is perfectly legal for any state to secede from the union if they feel that the country is going down the tubes.\nLet's hope and pray and do whatever possible to avoid this situation...but if people are going to be hopelessly brainwashed to their own inevitable demise, it isn't right to expect those who think differently to go down with them. That's the whole purpose of separating from the union.\n\nSo in short, the United States as an idea is a great thing. It means people are united and stick together. They should do whatever possible and make amends to stay united. But if that proves itself useless, then the last resort is to secede from the union. Only when there is no other option.\n\nThere are a few states with some organizations trying to build up the support in order to do this right now. \nI think it's a bit early for that, but I don't blame them in how they think the country is strangling itself.\n\nGod bless America? How about God bless everybody.


Do you know where the fuse comp'd concerts are held , and where you can get tickets for the concerts?

im not sure..could try going to their website...  i think its  http://www.fuse.tv.com


I am sitting here watching the President's state of the union speech. Truly, I am not a fan of his nor did I vote for him, but with an unbiased view, is the state of the union nothing but a joke suddenly with thousands of soldiers dying?

Absolutely, and has been for the last five.\nSince last year, the US has lost a major city (New Orleans), Walmartised yet more of its white-collar jobs, and lost yet more foreign credibility. Clearly the coalminers bear testimony to his relentless assault on regulation, unions and the environment. Bush is a global pariah. Sharon is out of power and Blair will be gone within a few years. Even Harper in Canada had to strenuously distance himself to get elected.\n\nBut back to New Orleans. It's the invisible 800-lb gorilla in the room. Why does Bush profess to care passionately about democracy and the standard of living in al-Anbar province but not Louisiana? Please tell me.\nWhy no bipartisan congressional inquiry?\nI want to see a vox pop from the streets of NO, Baton Rouge or Houston.\n\n[Oh no, he's just started on abortion and stem cells. Let's see if he mentions Terri Schiavo...]


OK i moved to a new school a year ago and still dont know that many people because im very shy. A couple months ago a girl came up to me that is in one of my classes and intoduced herself. We have talked a little since then and i thought that maby she liked me. Today she started talking to me about a party she went to and talked about a guy she thought was cute there, but it didnt work out between them. Clearly this throws my whole thinking she likes me out the window right? Not sure what to do because I like her, but if I am going to turn into someone she is going to talk to about guys she likes then I don't want to go any further with this whole thing. What should I do?

well at least she can talk to then; buck that shyness and just wait for the right time to tell her that you Are attrackted to her and you were curious if she felt the same; tell her no hard feelings(get it into the open)if she says no then thats on you to ask her not to come talk to u about her deals with guys


I'm in 8th grade and i like this 6h grader, i'm really young for an 8th grader and im not sure how old he is, he has no idea who i am and that i like him, what should i do?

Honestly, I think that he'll probably be really flattered if you tell him that you like him.  I think guys think that it's cool when older girls like them.  Find out his screename and start talking to him online.  You can find out each others interests, and maybe you can start going on a couple dates after that.  Good luck :)


I went out a few times with a man who though nice, is not my type. We have nothing in common, no chemistry, and he has no conversation abilities. He doesn't even dance!! Which I do all the time. He has decided he loves me, after 3-4 dinner dates and only a peck on the cheek. No funny business. He calls me 15 times a day, I don't answer any more, shows up at my house uninvited, sends me stuff in the mail, and will not take a hint. I do not want to hurt him, but he is creeping me out, and my mom who lives with me, is afraid of him now and is worried about my kids. Help me here, how do I let him know nicely that altough he is nice, I am just not interested in evolving a relationship with him?\n Susan

Easy, simply tell him that I think your are nice but it won't work out.  You are not the kind of man I am looking for.  Our chemistry is not compatible.  Don't just dodge him.. thats a teenage thing to do.  Be mature and tell him the truth.  He's still trying because you have not given him a CLEAR indication that you are not interested.  He still thinks he has a chance until you get to the point and be upfront withhim.  Men will keep trying until you tell them basically,  NO MEANS NO.\nBut please dont be rude to him.  If I were you, in the future, dont go on a date if you are not interested in the person.  Definately not 3 or 4 dates.  It lead him on.


explain why the administration that took office on march 4, 1797, had a federalist president and a republican vice president.

The one who received the most votes became president, while the one who received the second most votes became vice president.


I been on this diet for about four days and I was wondering how long does it take for someone to know if they lost any weight.  I been eating two times a day working out everyday and walking and so on.

I used to be a trainer at a gym awhile back and what I used to tell my clients is that they would feel their improvements long before they would see them. Little things at first like finding it easier to breathe, pants would fit better, maybe they would be sleeping better. It's important before beginning such a program to gather data like weight, maybe a fat pincher test, take a few measurements, and definetly take pictures. Initially, you'll need this data to keep motivated, but within 2 to 4 weeks you should see some results. Sometimes it's good to have others help with this in the early stages.


I'm sure i've seen a setting somewhere that lets me change what program i use to view images but can't remember where it is. How can i make my default image viewer back to windows picture viewer.\n\nAt the moment when i double click on an image, whether it's jpeg or bitmap, it opens up Fireworks or photoshop, which is anoying as these take longer to load than windows picture viewer.\n\nDetailed instructions would be apprieciated.\n\nThanks in advance,\nHacker

Right click on and image file you want to open, when the menu pops up select "Open With", then select "choose program". When the dialog box pops up choose the program you want to open that type of image file, then select the box that says " Always use the selected program to open this type of file".\n\nDo this with each type of image file you want to change the associations for, i.e., jpeg, bitmap, png., etc.


i have heard that the max acheviable according to 2nd law of themodynamics is 75% but only 20-25% has been achieved .is this correct?if yes why such a lot of difference?

yes the max. achievable efficiency is indeed 75%-80%. this is because a part of the energy is wasted in overcoming friction this energy is dissipated in the form of heat.moreover instrumental error and error of the part of worker have hindered from achieving max. efficient instruments. carnot engine is one of the most ideal machine. max efficiency of a coal powered power station is 60%.such a power plant has temp of hot source at 500 degree celsius while exhaust's temp is not less than 40 degree celsius. efficiency= 1-(Temp of cold reservoir/temp of hot resrvr)--<this is for carnot engine.

I want to learn a third language, but I am having trouble choosing one! Please help me to find out what the easist option would be.

Any of the Romance languages are likely the easiest, since they have many cognates (similar sounding words that mean the same thing) and usually have fairly simple grammar. Of them, Spanish is probably the easiest, and definitely the most useful. German would be a close second, however, since its grammar influenced English so closely and has many cognates as well.

what are its functions and classifications?

A hormone (from Greek horman - "to set in motion") is a chemical messenger from one cell (or group of cells) to another. All multicellular organisms produce hormones (including plants - see article phytohormone).\n\nThe best known animal (and human) hormones are those produced by endocrine glands of vertebrate animals, but hormones are produced by nearly every organ system and tissue type in a human or animal body. Hormone molecules are secreted (released) directly into the bloodstream (however, some hormones, called ectohormones are secreted to the outside environment). They move by circulation or diffusion to their target cells, which may be nearby cells (paracrine action) in the same tissue or cells of a distant organ of the body. The function of hormones is to serve as a signal to the target cells; the action of hormones is determined by the pattern of secretion and the signal transduction of the receiving tissue.


Depends how close the cockroach is and how powerful the bomb.  The cockroach is one of the most resiliant creatures there is.  One little known fact is that most people would survive an atomic explosion.  The problem is the quality of life after the explosion.  Since a cockroach does not live very long it is very possible that the cockroach will survive, now it is also possible that it will become riddled with radiation and have mutations.  Since mutations are extremely bad for all "Animals" it is very possible that it's future offspring will not survive.


I am of course also really stressed and depressed, and have had reflux in the past but just recently started this drug and wondered if others have had this problem. I always take it with food, per my doctor.

GastrointestInal problems occur with any antidepressant medicine. Check with the prescribing doctor, or a pharmacist if it would be ok to take pepsid one hour after effexor.  I wouldn't recommend taking it before effexor because pepsid may block the absorption of the medication.  You may even need a prescription med for the acid reflux (GERD)


"The band's name comes from two of Rucker's friends, neither of whom was ever a band member. One, with a round face and glasses, was nicknamed Hootie because of his perceived owl-like appearance. The Blowfish also got his nickname from his facial appearance, in his case chubby cheeks."

plzzz help me i have only 2 inch Penis Size and i want to enlarge it plzz tell me how can i make this i m From Pakistan and here not a good Doctor My age is 21 Years.. plz help me and answer me

For safe and permanent gains, use a medical traction device such as the Andro Penis. If you are 2 inches, you should likely use the Micro Andro Penis model to begin with. This method is based on using traction to permanently expand the blood-carrying chambers (the largest being the corpus cavernosa) of the penis.\n\nUse the Andro Penis device 4-9 hours per day for 3-6 months. You will have time-linear flaccid and erect gains in length and some girth gains as well. The flaccid gains appear first.\n\nI've gained permanently 1.75" length and 1" girth since June 2005 through the use of an Andro Penis medical traction device and PowerJelq for exercises. I also know a man in Mexico who used the Micro Andro Penis and then the Andro Penis to go from 2.5" to 5" - this is a doubling of his length, plus he gained girth as well. Try it, and you will be happy to see serious gains after 3-6 months usage.


I'm not sure if it's the battery or the wiring that goes from the power cord into the computer. In any case, when I plug in the Computer the battery won't go on and when I press the power button the computer won't go on.

Remove the battery and try just ac. I've had some laptops stop working because the battery had no charge. If that doesn't work, get it serviced.


My father does not live with me and my mother.  He is in trouble with the law and a car company keeps bothering us.  They tell us they think we are covering for him and have knocking on our door as late as 10pm.  I want to stop them legally from bothering us anymore.

I find it strange that someone from a car company is continually trying to get a hold of your father by coming to your house.  It's illegal for anyone to show up to your door if you owe them a debt, unless they are serving him with a civil judgement.  Also, if it's in regards to a loan, it wouldn't be a car company coming to hunt him down (unless it was a buy here/pay here place), it would be the bank that loaned him the money. You can send them a cease and desist letter so they will stop calling, and make sure that you put in the letter that he doesn't live with you anymore.  Are you sure they are trying to contact him in regards to a debt, or is it more than that?  I'd contact an attorney anyway.  It sounds like there could be more to this story.


In Canada, Gays and Lesbians are now more equal than before. The issue only really effects the ones getting married. Straight people are not effected by it since they are not the ones being married to a homosexual. Will the US ever live up to it's claim of being "Land of the free?"

Everyone in the US has the same rights. There are laws that govern who can be married. Even Canada will not let family members marry. \n\nJust because there isn't a law permitting something doesn't me the US isn't the land of the free.

a tesla coil is basically a machine that generates an EXTREMELY high voltage.  we are talking hundreds of thousands to millions of volts.  as such they are rather dangerous things, and if you crank the voltage up high enough, you can get them to send off fantastic lightning bolts.  here are some pictures of tesla coils in action:\nhttp://members.iinet.net.au/~pterren/Tesla_7ft.JPG\nhttp://nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/electrical/tesla/pictures/misc/tesla50.jpg\nhttp://www.lod.org/Projects/Projects.htm\n\nmostly they are used for museums and for "ooh ahh" demonstrations of big-ass sparks.  kind of like fireworks, i guess.  also they are used in special effects for sci-fi and other movies to make lightning bolts artificially.  also, you can get little hand-held tesla coils that don't make enough voltage to spark, but just glow with a corona at the tip.  people use these in chemistry labs for detecting the presence of various types of chemicals, and also for providing sufficient energy to make other certain reactions take place.\n\nreally, they are not very important devices.  but they are fun to look at, especially the really huge ones.


If we assume that God is Almighty, including omniscience (all knowing), that would mean that He knows all and any of my future actions, therefore my actions are that of a character in a story, hence I have no free will, or I have free will to act differently from what He thought, or thought He knew, so God does not know everything.

False Religions teach people that God knows everything that you will do.

I remember reading something years ago about the mass of Jupiter being so large, that if the other planet were somehow pushed into it, that it would begin thermonuclear fusion and become a new star.  Any truth to this?  Any references?

Nuclear fusion is result of massive gravitational pull which is possible only in very large masses. It can be true that if mass of Jupitor  or any other planet is merged with another very huge mass to reach to required strength it may start fusion, subject it has hydrogen. The reference of Jupitor for that matter is usually to help visuallize the size of the planet.


choose 1 out of these striker, u think as a true greatest present striker:\n\n1.Eto'O (Barcelona)\n2.H Crespo (Chelsea)\n3.M Owen (Newcastle)\n4.Adriano (Internazionale)\n5.D Forlan (Villareal)\n6.Raul (R Madrid)\n7.A Shevchenko (AC Milan)\n8.Del Piero (Juventus)\n9.T Henry (Arsenal)\n10.R v Nistelrooy (Man united)

OMG!! of course Shevchenko!!!\nreason: fast speed, powerful shoot, accurate finishing, effective header, can take free kick and captaincy(in ukraine), bring ukraine qualify as group winner, the best striker in the world!!


i have heard of this statute of limitations ..what is it and how does it work?what does it apply to?

There are many statutes of limitations. The basic idea behind them is that after a certain time has elapsed from the commission of an act, a person can no longer be charged or sued for it. One of the main reasons behind these laws are that is in many cases unfair to subject someone to a trial well after the witnesses forget details. What crimes and acts are covered by a statute of limitations depends on the state. Murder usually does not have a statute of limitations, however. Also, the statute of limitations is more important for civil cases than criminal. Imagine wondering for the rest of your life if someone you hit was going to sue you.

Legal only in small quantities for personal consumption in the home.  Illegal in all public places; such as restaurants, arenas, nightclubs and bars.

Are you asking if it should be made illegal in public places? They tried something like that in the 1920's. It was called Prohibition. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.

lucy is renting a condo for $900 a month, that includes all utilities. She just inherited same type of condo from her sister, with a value of $300,000(not expected to change) w/ a monthly utility/maint/insurance of $100 a month. If lucy moves to the inherited condo, by how much will her monthly housing cost increase or decrease?

by 800.00 a month, why did we need to know the price of the condo? did you factor in property tax?

without knowing the specifics of your problem, the formula I think you're asking for is deltaH=H(products)-H(reactants). You get the H values for your products and reactants from tables, multiply them by their coefficients, add all the reactants and all the products, the subtract reactants from products.\n\nThe only other enthalpy equation I can think of is \nH=E+PV where E=energy, P=pressure, and V=volume.


either states, supreme court, congress or president

Congress is the only branch of government that can actually make laws regarding immigration and naturalization (Article I, Section 8, Subsection 4.\n\nHowever, the Supreme Court can determine that the law they pass is unconstitutional and toss it or determine to grant certain rights to non-citizens.  The Exectuive Branch can recommend rules, or decide not to enforce one if they don't like it.  The states can pass laws granting rights and privledges to illegals or other non-citizens.\n\nBut to the specific question, it is Congress and Congress alone that holds that power under the Constitution.

am 24 years old Ive been with this guy since I was 19, we have a little boy together who's about 2. I just found out Im pregnant again. Mike( the boyfriend) has always hated michigan. hates the cold hates the people ( whatever that means) and hates the job rate.Anyway Im about 12 weeks pregnant and he wants to up and move to Florida and visit his dad hes never seen and get the hell out of michigan. I dont ..Ive always lived here it doesnt bother me and all my family and friends are here. H e cant watch our son because he gets too irritated with him after like an hour so he cant possibly watch him all day while I go to a job. and I dont see us making it there without two working. He says part of the reason hes the way he is is because he never had a dad ( bad temper ..)that if I take him away from our son that he'll end up the same way. and that he'll hate me for it the way he hates his mom.Now Im pregnant , so thats two kids to hate me for it. So what should I do ?I'll take any advice

dump the loser! If he wants to grow up and have an adult relationship with his children, he will. If not, you must instill them with values that will prevent them from becoming like their father. They WON'T HATE YOU IF YOU ARE LOVING MOTHER unless you spend your life obsessing about what a bum their dad was.

It is ruining my life! All I do is sit in front of the computer all day with one hand down my pants. Please save me!

Porn addiction is tightly correlated with the wank and vice versa.\nMore porno stuff you watch and more the lust is influenced; more your lust decreases and more you feel need to wank. Just a circle of lust hard to break.\nTherefore, the solution can be double: either you try to think some else, setting free you mind from the thought of the pornography, or you just tries to limit the wank.\nAnyway, if you’re young, I think that your problem has to decrease with the age (involuntarily), until to stop when you could find a stable partner. \nTherefore, try to don’t consider it as an obsession, but only as a transitory time of your life.\nI believe that sooner or later you will be bored and fulfilled with it.


have seen both unadjusted numbers and numbers adjusted for purchasing power parity, i.e. currency differences.

From Wikipedia comes a great answer with recent data:\n\n"The economy of India is the fourth-largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), with a GDP of US $3.36 trillion. When measured in USD exchange-rate terms, it is the tenth largest in the world, with a GDP of US $691.87 billion (2004). India was the second fastest growing major economy in the world, with a GDP growth rate of 8.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2005–2006. However, India's huge population results in a relatively low per capita income of $3,100 at PPP."\n\nAnd from the CIA Factbook we get a 2005 estimate of $3,400 as measured in PPP.\n\nThis leaves India at #155 in the world in terms of per capita income. For comparison's sake, China ranks #118 and the US #4.


I have a Gateway computer that is about six years old.  Runs ok but has many unused programs that I can't get off it etc... I got it before I knew how to use one and really mucked it up. I'm thinking it would be better restored back to it's original factory settings if possible.  Where does one go to get this done and what is a fair price?

I'm guessing that you don't have the orginal Gateway recovery CD's or disks that came with your computer.  There are several ways that you can this, but I'm not sure if they'll be worth it.\n\n1.  You can use your Gateway Recovery software, or find someone with a Gateway recovery disk that has a computer similar to yours in age and specs and try to recover your software that way.\n\n2.  You can format your hard drive, but if you do this method you MUST have an Operating System CD (i.e. Windows 98, Windows XP, Linux) that you can install or else your computer will just sit idle after startup.  I would only go this route if you cannot find a Gateway Recovery CD because there will be a lot of drivers that you will need to get that Windows (or whatever OS you go with), might not be able to automatically handle for you.  Plus it is the most difficult way to restore a computer if you've never done so.\n\n3.  If you go anywhere to get this done they'll probably tell you that you'll come off better buying a new computer, and personally I would not pay anyone to restore a six year old computer, but if you must don't take it to Best Buy whatever you do!!!  They charge WAY too much for any computer work.  Take it to someone you know, trust, and know's a good bit about computers.

I want to open a personal bank account in the USA, The main reason is that I want to creat a paypal account linked to this bank account.. \nAnd fund the main bank account using my credit card. \nPaypall does not accept any credit cards from Egypt

Nope - you will be asked for a host of things in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, like a social security number etc. And although there are certain instances where a power of attorney will let you open an account through an intermediary, I dont think you will be able to get away with that.


I have a frien who has a problem with stamina in that it takes him so long to orgasm during sex that often he and his partner get too tired to finish. What are some ways to make him orgasm more quickly and make sex more enjoyable for both of them?

Is it legal?  If so, is it only to the Rastafarian populace?  Are sales legal?  Can you smoke in public?  While we're at it, are any other drugs legal in Jamaica?

When we went to Jamaica this past October, we were told it was illegal, but it was around - we must've gotten offers to buy it at least twice a day.  I've heard if you're using it at the resorts, you only get told by hotel security to go to your room... but if you're outside of the resort - you will land your butt in jail... can't be a fun place to be.\n\nBelow is the link showing it's illegal.


LOL I am asking for some experience !!!plz!!! cause it is the first I am going to have oral *** with a virgin-GIRL...I'm Not sure that i can hold myself...What would you do if u were me and it was the first time you were getting close to a girl like this...How can I prevent having reaL *** with her??

Come up with codes. That way if things start going to far you will have ways of letting eachother know. She will respect you for respecting her. Before you guys start anything you can be like "I want to make sure our first time is really special and that we are both ready for it. If things become too much for you, just pinch my arm and I'll stop." Of course if you come up with something else that would be fine too. The physical "no" is much more likely to get your attention. Some guys have the misconception that no sometimes means yes. No is no and that is the bottom line. Be sure to have a way to tell her to slow down too. You seem to be saying you are not ready either. Maybe you could clasp her hands and then back of for a minute until you are ready to continue. You are only 16, there will be plenty of time. You don't want any regrets. \n\nAlso, "take care of yourself" ahead of time. That way the urge will be less. You wont feel such a great need.\n\nJust in case have some condoms handy. You don't want to take any chances. I'm sure you are not ready to be a dad yet.


Whats the best way to study for the SATs for someone who has never studied before?

Well study like you always do (unless you have bad study habits then change them)get your rest(if your tired you won't think properly)and there are some good site with tips like the ones below.


I recall being taught in school that a comma before the word 'and' for items in a list was not necessary but you could but write and it wouldn't be incorrect just not preferred.  \n\nExample:  The colors of the American flag are red, white(,?) and blue. \n\nTo me it seems more natural to not have the comma there but I see it so often I wonder.

One reason to include it before the and is when you have more complex lists:\n\n"My son likes to move back and forth, up and down, and left and right."


(your answer will tell something about your instincts, so please answer as quick as you can after you've read the situation.)\n\nit was during a wake when you saw the guy. it was your first time to see him in that place but that definitely made you say to yourself that this is the guy that i've been waiting for all my life. \n\n\nthe next day, you killed a member of your family. \nwhy did you kill him/her?

becasue love will make you do crazy things lol..more than likely you lost your *******mind...or you never had one...


hi shivani!\nindian? \nwhich place?? im from varanasi..\n\nanyways.. heres the answer:\nlog10x ( is read as log x to the base 10) \nlogex ( is read as log x to the base e, which is   also called the natural log)\n\nlogx can be considered both (to the base 10 as well s base 10) it depends on the reference.. we come across it very frequently when writing bases are ignored.\n\ngoing by the exact defination and as seen in most of the books.. \nlogx means log10x \nwhereas\nlnx means logex\n\nderivative of log10x is 1/(xln10)\nwhere ln10 = loge10(log 10 to the base e)


They dropped the "moving in together, off campus, our Jr. year bomb" about 2 months ago.  They are also moving in with 3 of her g/fs.  I love her dearly, just like a daughter, but am worried about grades and their ability to maintain their grades off campus. He needs to maintain a 3.0 for grad school.  I'm no prude by any means, and have expressed my concerns.  How can I support their decision, yet let them know my concern without shutting them out?

Well, they've been together for this long & hopefully you've trusted them. Just give them your support & let them know that you're concerned & don't want them to mess up their futures. College is a time for children to start being independent & learn how to function on their own. BUT, just tell them to be careful. I'm sure they'll understand.

I need a map showing the mountain range with labels. Coordinates aren't just enough.

Altay Mountains or Altai Mountains are located in Central Asia  where Russia,China,Mongolia,Kazakistan meet.It is the source of Irtysh,Ob and Yenisie rivers.The name, in Turkic Alytau or Altay, means Al (gold), tau (mount); in Mongolian Altain-ula, the "Mountains of Gold". The range is also known as the Ek-tagh, Mongolian Altai, Great Altai and Southern Altai.\nFor the map of altai mountains try Google earth and the following link\nwww.altai.at


I LOVE Astrud Gilberto, especially "Agua De Beber". She sings it in Portuguese, and I'd love to know what she's saying.

I'm an 8 month pregnant mother of a seven year old boy and five year old girl. I'm 27 years old and engaged to be married to my son's father who is an engineer. We've been together for a little over 8 years and he is supportive of anything I want to do.

Why not combine the two?  A peds nurse.  You can get your RN and go for a specialty like ultrasound tech (it's a simple 1yr degree after nursing school) and you can make up to $30.00/hour.  My Mom was a peds nurse (LPN) for 17 years before she got her Ultrasound certificate.  She went from making $15.00/hr to $27.00/literally overnight.  That was 10 years ago.  It may be more than $30.00/hr now.  The advantage to being a nurse rather than a Dr. is that a nurse is pretty much freelance.  If she is good enough, she can work in private practice, hospitals, medflight, etc.  and not have to worry about all of the "headaches" of a doctor's internship etc. (Nurses generally intern where they work, so they get max benefits quicker).  They don't have to open an office, pay salaries, carry insurance etc.  You can even be a nurse practicioner with very little additional training from an RN.  I live in a rural community where just about every town has at least one Nurse Pract.  You can check out the bureau of Labor statistics website (www.bls.gov) to check out how much each career pays in your area for however much education you want to achieve.  Good Luck and God Bless!


Does anyone know any good places that a good looking 30 year old male can go to meet women my age on  Eastern Long Island, NY?  I'm brand spanking new to the area.

Back in the day, different nations had their own colors for their racing teams... German cars were silver, British cars were British Racing Green, Italian cars were red, etc...\n\n1.  Who established the color code?\n\n2.  What color was USA?\n\nThis question will be closed and the best answer selected within 24 hours.

color code was established by the (CSI of the FIA) Code Sportif International of the Federation International de L'Automobile\n\nThe US of A's color was White\n\nInteresting side note: Early race cars had a chassis that was visible and many countries chose a second color for this area.  When cars became more low-profile and the chassis disappeared, this second color was moved to Stripes or perhaps a part of the trim.  USA's trim/stripe color is Blue


I know that you cook it on the stove....

There are lots of recipes here. Most of them don't require cooking. \n\nMy tip is to go easy on the salt: it's nasty on the skin. :)


I have this boyfriend who has it all, you name it but...... Ours is a long distance relationship and we rarely see each other.  When he comes to town, we get excited, have a nice time but when it's time to catch up, it is a diffrent story! He is not good in bed and he knows it, after we make love eveyone seems to be tongue tied and pretend to be busy doing other things.  Furthermore, i get a terrible feeling in my stomach.  There is no proper communication until he leaves again for work and when he comes back it will be the same story. What kind of a relationship is this?

Sounds to me like you are in this relationship just to "have a boyfriend" As it turns out a bf/gf won't solve your problems instead (as you can see) they bring new or different ones. \n\nIf all you enjoy about this guy are his e-mails, letters, or long distance phone calls then just leave it at that. You don't have to put up with all the crappy stuff from this so-called relationship.\n\nA pen-pal may do just fine!


To calculate how much carbohydrate you need, do the following:\n\na) Select an exercise category:\nDecide which of the above-mentioned categories apply to your exercise intensity. For example, if you are a marathon runner, you would require between 7 and 10 g of carbohydrate per kg per day\n\nb) Calculate daily carbohydrate requirement:\nMultiply your daily carbohydrate requirement with your weight in kg, for example if you weigh 70 kg:\n70 x (7-10) = 490 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day.\n\nA 70 kg marathon runner who is exercising at top intensity for many hours a day and who requires glycogen replenishment and carbo-loading, would need to eat between 490 and 700 g of carbohydrate a day.\n\nThis is a very large amount of carbohydrate to obtain from food and such an athlete would have to use high-carbohydrate drinks and snacks to supplement his food intake.\n\nThe recommendations given above are generalised and simplified, so if in doubt, consult a clinical dietician to calculate your precise carbohydrate needs.\n\nCarbohydrate foods\nThe following foods are good sources of carbohydrates:\n\nAll breakfast cereals, all porridges, all breads, buns, crackers, all types of pasta, samp or maize grits, sweet corn, fruit juice, dried fruit, root vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, carrots, beetroot, parsnips, turnips), sugar, honey, jam, boiled sweets, jelly babies, sweetened cold drinks, certain fruits such as apples and bananas (these fruits contain more carbohydrate than strawberries for example which have a high water content), specially formulated high-carbohydrate sports drinks, snacks and powders. � (Dr I.V. van Heerden, DietDoc)


No we aren't having relationship problems and no there is nothing wrong with my anatomy.

maybe you need to ask her what she likes and not just get in and head for the goal line.
