I admit I don't know much about Barry Bonds but recently I became familiar with his story. I saw a part of his reality show "Bonds on Bonds" on ESPN- and he seems like a gentle yet confident guy. Why does the sports media hate him so? Furthermore, why is everyone worried about him passing Babe Ruth's record when Hank Aaron is the one with the world record? Am I missing something?

This racism thing is really really old. \n\nBonds has always been a selfish player. His fights with teamates go back to the start of his career. He's never been a team player. Bonds had a way of opening his mouth and insulting his teamates or glorifying Bonds early in his career so he quit talking to the media at all for many years. \n\nIt's not an allegation, the only thing in question is whether Bonds knowingly used steroids. Considering that before he started using steroids he rarely reached the 40 HR mark, that the age he suddenly hit 50+ HRs was an age that should have seen his power numbers in decline and the fact that as soon as he stopped his power numbers did decline dramatically is furthor proof. \n\nThere was a previous question about the Ruth thing. Simple thing is Ruth was the Bambino. He invented HR hitting. Ruth won his first HR crown as a pitcher who got to hit only every 4th day or an occasional pinch hitting appearance. Ruth still defines power as Ruth needed 5,000 fewer ABs than anyone one else to hit 650+ HRs. \n\nAaron's record when it falls will have the same shine. Aaron was not a power hitter, he just plain hit well and lots of those fell for Home runs. Wasn't until Aaron's last few seasons that he really swung for the fences. One day somebody will pass his record. Then somebody will pass the record that past Aaron's, however on the way people will make a big deal about Aaron being passed even when he no longer holds the record.

We both love each other and I enjoy our very intimacy... anyway she always wants to seduce me more & more anytime and my sister suggested that she do striptease for me... I like her idea and she has no problem with that... But what do you all think then? Is it romantic or just too weird?\n\nAnyway, I'm 20 and my beloved girlfriend is 18-year-old. My sister is 19 years old.

Striptease isn't weird. Think about it this way she is very confident in bed and with you. She is proud to show what she has. Most guys fantasize about women stripteasing just for them. That is why it really turns guys on more. Let her do it. It takes a lot of guts. Sit back and enjoy the show.


In laymen's terms, I'd like to know what causes this condition in the gum and what the outlook is.

In laymens terms?  Its like an internal scar.  \n\nYour body can't remove it so its surrounds the scar and forms a cyst.  Most of the time the do not show symptoms and they found by accident during routine dental visits.  sometimes they kill the tooth were they originated.  They are formed sometimes by trauama,  sometimes we never know.  Rarely do they get so big, that they surround multiple teeth, thats the worst case scenerio and they have to cut out a section of teeth (very very rare).  Small ones can be treated by an endodontist, who basically does a small relatively simple surgury where he scoops out the cyst (enucleation); write that down. \n\nfor more info look up periapical cyst.

not a lot you can do really try doing it doggy style more often that'll stop the rubbing


hey, im american and i speak 3 languages, english-spanish and arabic. what about u?

I'm from Argentina. Spanish is my native language.

I haven't been to Buenos Aires for almost two years.


am i doing too much exercise or do i have a problem. any suggestions to alleviate this. i even stopped exercising for 3 days but as soon as i started again they ached. i am 40 rs old.

You may want to take it slow on the running everyday. It is a great thing you are trying to be in shape, but since you are older you may want to slow it down a bit. Instead of running everyday, try running 4 days a week and see how that works for you. I do not think you have a problem, but just to be sure you should check with your doctor. But I think the biggest reason why your calves hurt so much is you are exercising too much.


My Toolbar is messed up! i dont know how to fix it. There is no refresh or stop or search. PLEASE tell me how to fix it

I am a single man .I have a strong sexual desire,I must self-abuse once two or three days.sometime, I even do it each night.Every time I wate up in mid-night,Icoudn'n sleep again without self-abuse.

the attitude that it is self abuse has you feeling some form of guilt of you would not feel its abuse that atitude has created this thrill that youve either become addicted to or feel ashamed of you need to revaulate your defination of masturbation masturbation is not a sin when tye "book" refers to spilling seed it refers to coitus interruptus "pulling out" before you ejaculate during vaginal sex so rub one off and enjoy it dont feel guilty at least your not having extramaritl sex which by the way is forbiddin by "the book"

I am the only female in a close corporate setting with 12 sales teammates, i suppose thats not so bad but i am also the only african american. My bosses are respectful, but they also say things to me in passing;"right on!" "amen, child!" and  calling me 'girlfriend',or 'sista'. I love my job and my position, should i speak up?

Look sweetheart don't trip, just go with the blows. Its always something wherever we go. No one will ever understand completely the pressures we face each and everyday living as black Americans. Its all ignorance if you ask me. Never let anyone move you from your comfort. If that job is producing your comfort at home, Milk that job for all its worth of all its knowledge, and paychecks and one day soon start your own Company. I know its hard, but learn to adapt to that work force environment. Its the only way to get ahead.


that people in some other countries can spend their ENTIRE LIVES outside under the sun and not get skin cancer?

Dark skinned people have melanin in it. \nMelanin works like a sunscreen.\nThat's way dark skinned people have less skin cancer\nwile spending a lot more time outside.


and what if the ions are distributed equally

The distribution of ions across a cell membrane produces a concentration gradient that can be used by the cell to do various kinds of work (i.e. power non-spontaneous reactions).  \n\nFor example, in mitochondria and certain aerobic bacteria, the gradient of H+ ions powers ATP synthase, and allows it to make ATP (an extremely important energy storage molecule).  \n\nIn other cells, the concentration gradients of ions can be used to facilitate active transport across the membrane by coupling an ion moving along it's concentration gradient with another molecule moving against it.\n\nIn neurons, the difference in the concentrations of ions inside and outside the cell creates a membrane polarity that allows the action potential (i.e. the nerve firing) to occur.  When the nerve is activated by a neurotransmitter or a direct external stimulus, sodium channels open, allowing Na+ to rush into the cell, making it positive relative to the external environment.  This change in polarity moves along the cell, and causes the cell to release specific neurotransmitters at the other end.\n\nIf the ions were distributed equally, none of the processes I just mentioned would work!

or was he just made to look tanner in the newer superman and jlu eppisodes.

No, but that doesn't mean he won't be at some time.  I agree with you that he seems to have some traits that could make him seem to be at least part black in those shows, but as far as the comics go, he has always been white... so far.\n\nLately, the comic companies have sometimes done revamps of characters & alternate universe versions which don't match the same race as the originals.  Marvel has done this in two instances I can think of right off the top of my head.  One was the Kingpin.  Wilson Fisk has always been white in the comics, but when they cast for Daredevil, they made him black.  Michael Clark Duncan did a fantastic job, but as any comics purist will tell you, our major gripe with comic movies is when they stray from the comics in any way, even if it means they change a character's race.\n\nThe other example I can think of is Nick Fury.  This time, however, they have gone into an alternate universe, which they call the Ultimates universe (which is odd since many of the Ultimate versions of characters are weaker than the original Marvel versions).  Marvel Nick Fury is white, & Ultimate Marvel Nick Fury is black.  I think they took this even further, because if I remember correctly, the Nick Fury's didn't fight in the same war either.  Marvel Nick Fury led the Howling Commandos in WWII before becoming head of SHIELD.  I think Ultimates version may have been in Viet Nam, but I'm not sure.  I don't read any of the Ultimates titles, because they stray from original format in almost every conceivable way.\n\nI think comic companies have started doing this lately because during the Golden Age & Silver Age of comics, there weren't a whole lot of black superheroes.  Those there were usually had the word black in their name.  Some of those have been quietly phased out, like Black Goliath.  Others, amazingly, are still around, & people don't seem to mind so much, like Black Panther & Black Lightning.  Back then, I'm surprised kids didn't expect the Black Knight to be black.  It wasn't really until the Modern Age we started seeing a lot more black superheroes whose names didn't require the word black.  With the introduction of characters like War Machine, the John Stewart version of Green Lantern, Night Thrasher, Cardiac (something of an anti-hero, like Namor), & even the reformed Prowler (burglar turned superhero), the list of black superheroes has entries all over the alphabet, instead of all clumped under "B".\n\nNow, if they can only do something cool for us Indians.  Just kidding, because I think they already have.  While Apache Chief & Thunderbird were pretty lame, the Puma is a really cool Indian superhero who also happens to be very active in the corporate world as his alter-ego, Thomas Fireheart.  I hope that Marvel introduces a descendent of Puma in their MC2 Universe, which features many children of current Marvel Universe characters, such as Spider-Man (Spider-Girl), J2 (Juggernaut), & Psi-Lord (the adult Franklin Richards).

This was the subject of a recent Geraldo Riviera show.  The rise in sales is a phenomena of the late 90's.  The books are aimed specifically at women readers and most major publishers are starting a line of romantica.  Many are e-books.  Even Harlequin has just started a line of erotic romances.  The question is, why now?

These books aren't like the hardcore sex stories written for men.  They are called erotica.  Women like different things then men do in that way and were never considered a market for them.  Now people realize there is a market for erotica for women.  They are more hardcore than the romance novels but not nearly as hardcore as the straight pornography.  They also have a plot line and great character development.  Many women read the hardcore books but didn't like the way they were done so many started writing what they liked.  The market started with story sites online then progressed to anthologies like Herotica which developed an immense following.  Publishers took notice and it went from there.  If you frequent sites for authors you will see many calls for works like this from new authors.  It was an untapped market that was finally discovered and is growing by leaps and bounds.

Many of the prisons in uk offer the criminals, playstations plasma tvs and luxurious day trips out.  Why?  shouldnt they be punished - not treated.

To the person that says this doesn't happen in America - you're right, but barely. \n\nWe are allowing new TVs, and Cable television. \n\nI agree, it is a joke.

I have had to call in sick several times over the last several weeks. These are related to illness that can be documented at doctor's office, and child illness related. I have be extremely loyal to the company, and put in several hours at home without pay. How can I best handle this.

Of course the law related to this issue, if there is any, would depend on which jurisdiction (state or country) you are in.  \n\nBut I'm not sure exactly what you are seeking.  Probation means that they are monitoring you.  They haven't cut your pay or anything.  What the company is saying is that your sick time is excessive.  I don't imagine they are saying anything about the truth or falsehood of your situation.  They're just saying that this much sick time isn't acceptable for them.  I don't know why you think this is strange.  No one can afford to keep paying people who aren't there, no matter how good their excuses are.\n\nThis doesn't appear to be a 'rights' issue to me, but one of asking for compassion.  Explain to your employer how much time you put in without pay, and try to make the case for why you shouldn't be on probation.  But I'd encourage you to think the issue through from their perspective first.  You seem to only be focused on your own needs, and with that attitude, you'll never be able to work out a working relationship that will work for both of you.\n\nBest of luck to you.


NO!!! maam. we have lush greeny landscape, the bluest skies, and the clearest water, but no deserts


i have just downloaded the ati tool,but i am very nervous about using it,has anyone used it before,what i am intrested in is the max core and max memory options,are they safe ,they wont fry my card will they\n      if anyone has used it before i would be grateful for any advice,by the way i am using a radeon 9250\n        cheers

I'm assume you're looking at your ability to overclock your video card, since you mentioned max core and memory options. \n\nThat's fine, if you have the cooling in place to handle the additional heat. You might not want to overclock a 9250, as it only has a Heatsink. To actually see a boost in performance you'll need to overclock pretty dangerously high, which may fry your card. \n\nIf you're looking for a performance boost, during startup, enter bios and enter your PIC/AGP control. You can allocate system memory to graphics memory. That will instantly boost your performance on that low level of a card.

I have been in a lesbian relationship for about four years now and I want to break it off because it has become very "unhealty". How do I tell my girlfriend who really loves me that its simply OVER? Please help!!!

Three important rules for breaking up\nDon't put off breaking up when you know you want to\nProlonging the situation only makes it worse\nTell her honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly\nDon't make a big production\nDon't make up an elaborate story\nThis will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene\nIf you wanna date other people say so\nBe prepared for the girl to feel hurt and rejected\nEven if you've gone together for only a short time,\nAnd haven't been too serious,\nThere's still a feeling of rejection\nWhen someone says she prefers the company of others\nTo your exclusive company,\nBut if you're honest, and direct,\nAnd avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news,\nThe girl will respect you for your frankness,\nAnd honestly she'll apeciate the kind of straight foward manner\nIn which you told her your decision\nUnless she's a real b*tch or a cry baby you will remain friends


hes damn good teams will pass him up and regret it later

Maybe he's good in college, but it doesn't necessary mean that will translate into success in the NBA. The knock on him is his quickness, height, and one dimensional game. NBA is way more competitive and he will have a much harder time finding open looks. Still, he's an excellent shooter and competitor, and should be drafted in the top 20.


How can you obtain the degree of the first order Bessel function with the help of aymptotic expansion of gamma functions?

First by frobenius method, you can easily obtain the series expansion of the first order of bessel function. The coefficients of series expansion of this function help you to find the degree. And you need to know that the asymptotic forms of Bessel functions are relevant to the gamma functions.  (z/2)^(-n) J_n(z)~1/gamma(n+1) is a degree of 1 \nIf you need to show that you need to use the asymptotic expansion of gamma function which can be also obtained by using the frobenius method. But you can also use the stirling formula which approximates to the gamma function. \nThen take the limit of the rho=n^n e^{-n}/log(a_n) as n goes to infinity. a_n: is the coefficient of the series expansion of bessel function , rho is the order. You will see that rho is going to be equal to 1. Hadamard's theorem will help you to understand how you define the order(rho) as above.\n \nAll routines in matlab, fortran are written using these mathematics. By the way, it is not a simple question. Good luck:)


Someone mentioned that at our Tuesday night game and wondered if it was true...

Nope.  If anything the ball would become softer and thus would absorb and diffuse more energy from the bat.

When I was like 20 or something. Honestly. Holy crap that seems old. \n\nAs far as the 10 yr old goes, anythings possible. The only concern I would have would be that she would want real sex if she`s already thinking about those things. Her mom should talk to about it without making her feel ashamed about it.


i would like to get another certificate but if i cant id like to get some sort of document saying that i graduated high school .....ummm I graduated in 1998 from kirby high school in memphis tennessee

You may have to write a letter to the school and have them give you a copy. I'm not sure if they are allowed to give copies though...but if they aren't, they certainly can write an official letter stating that you were a graduate and address it to any employer or other organization that needs it.


Acting or Singing? NOT both? Why do they always get actors to sing and make albums and why do they have singers act? Seems to me like they are only good at the one they do ell the time...It just makes Entertainment worse..My opinion. What is yours?

It was on mtv like 4 years ago but it was a music video that had a guy singing in a city walking on a sidewalk. he was just walking in a straight line and then he walked on car and then kept walking. idk its hard to explain but it was a good song. i dont know the lyrics tho

I was in an accident on a motorcycle that wasn't my fault. I am settling with the other insurance company, the problem the insurance company made out the check to me and the hospital, because the hosp had a lien. The hospital wants over $20,000. I want to dispute the hospital bill seprately. How do I get the hosptial sign off so that I can get my money and then dispute overcharges on the hosptail bill?

You could see if the hospital would sign off on it, I doubt they would.\n\nSend the check back.  They can't do that. The settlement was to YOU?  or..YOU and the hospital?  Look at the settlement.  \n\n If it specifically has YOU & Hospital.  your sunk.  If it has YOU + medical expenses,  send the check back. MAKE them write it to you.  If they refuse,  call the State capitol in your State. Talk with the State Insurance Commissioner.\n\nA Lot of Ins. Co's do this. They want to see that he medical bills get paid. It's none of there business, if they do or not.  I wouldn't cut a Lawyer in on this. Not when you can do it yourself.\n\nGood Luck.  Don't cash the check, or your screwed.


The group is Men of Standard, and they come to my church often but i don't know how to get in comtact with them or somebody that can relay the message.

Usually on the back of or inside cover of an artist's album is booking information.  Maybe you can try to call them to see if you can get them to sing for your wedding. Also you can talk to their management but the first choice is probably better. (If you can't find that info inside the cd, go on the website and look for the info on the bottom of the page.)  I am sure that the pastor also has one of the members numbers-ask him too if that doesn't work.


the other day i sent a cake to my daughters school when she got home i wanted to try a piece and my husband threw it in the garbage & said he was helping me and called me fat i just had a baby via c-section 4 months ago i'm almost thirty and i'm 5 7 and 175 ilbs i'm not small but not abese? i am so mad my first husband used to call me fat before his reighn of abuse and cheating  and rape i'm scared it's starting over again with this guy i want to leave i don't even want to have sex with him anymore he is close to my six yr old and has always been nice till now what should i do?

He is out of line. He didn't have to throw away the cake.\nCalling you fat is so degrading. That's rude ansd mean. He\nneeds to realize during pregnancy and after aome women tend to pick up weight. That weight can go away by exercising, \neating lots of veggies and fruit, eating baked fish, yogurt,\ntaking vitamins and minerals. If he wants you to lose weight\nthen he should go about it the right way. Being rude about it is going to help or motivate you. Taking you by the hand and encouraging you is the right way. But if he loves who you are then your weight shouldn't even bother him. Beauty\ncomes from within and shines on the outside. If he keeps \nbeing rude about your weight then his love is limited and\nbased on how you look.

It is often very difficult for a woman or a minority to start a business.  Banks and other service companies are often not receptive to supporting new businesses with diverse ownership.  Or so the claim is made.  As a remedy, many states have taken to requiring certain set aside programs, where a percentage of business must go to minority or women-owned businesses.

Once worked at a bank-still have friends there. Yes they are set aside certain programs from minority. Because they do face different situations that make it difficult for some.   ----\n\nexample-- the foreigner would have different surroundings with no family support being away from home. Another would be language until one learns to communicate with a business world how would they buy a business (or work)to sustain himself  (or herself) How would he buy so it was done to a legal standard. So we don't have sustain him . Race doesn't cut to much loans-one way or the other (unless you used a facility that caters to some--usually private) Now on to Women no real help there- neither--unless you go to Women Institution just like race. The numbers seem pretty even -on loans given to race or sex-very even- -not a bank issue.   But some very good Bank loan officers who give loans-know where these extra loans can be found to help you get a loan through them (who will take part responsibility) -they will find them for you (for them)-if you have reason. Many smaller (sometime Private but Rich) are very good places to go. They want you and they will try harder. So there are programs for more foreigners than there would be for American Citizen  does not matter what sex or race .  And other program could be found got to look harder.  And the banks do have to "account for" if none of these programs or avenues are every used at their bank. It does happen. Sometime with reason.  These program has been in for quite a few years now-not new. How do you think we got so many of the Franchises .\n\nNo sure what you mean morally acceptable-what is immoral about programs?\n                      Best Wishes if your looking for one

The attendent agrees. The driver then comes to a 2nd toll booth. Tells attendent he will give him half the apples in the bag plus half an apple. Attendent agrees. Driver comes to 3rd toll booth. Tells attendent he will give him half the apples in his bag plus half an apple. Attendent agrees. Driver gets home opens his bag and finds its empty. Question is How many apples did he start with?

7.\n\nThe last attendant got 1.  1/2(1)+1/2 = 1.\nThe second attendant got 2.  1/2(3)+1/2 = 2.\nThe first one got 4.  1/2(7)+1/2 = 4.


if i go to the U.N and say that my human rights were violeted by Americans.\ni'd like to do this accion as an American because i know thre are millions of Americans that are descent and honet who don't deserve to be ponish the way i was since i came to N.Y and I was a minor.\nthat's why i want to do it as an American.\nbeacause i love thus country just the way i love mine.\nbut if i do it as guatemalan it would be like saying that is every american falt

No one just has the right to be an American unless born here. You think your rights were abused by Americans? Go to Africa where people get ripped apart in a city by rebel war fighters. See if you get any free medical service.


i have a boyfriend in a different school, and my mom just found out about it last night.  now she wants me to break up with him because she thinks that i should have a boyfriend in my own school.  i really don't want to break up with him, no matter what she says.  he's so nice and one of my best friends, and i want to stay together with him, and i talk to him all the time online and when we go on dates, but my mom [for some reason] does not want me to go out with someone from another school.\nHELP!!

bring your boyfriend to your home one time, and have your mom talk with him, I'm sure that your mom would let you go out with him if she has met him and thinks he is a nice guy. (of course let your mom know you're doing this, or she'll be even more furious)


Want to open home business just for local area making fruit bouquets and other gift baskets.  Also, do you need a tax number.

Yes and yes. In most areas, you need a permit. And since you're selling food, you have to have a special license, which is not easy to get if you're making the product in your home. You have to meet a lot of sanitation requirements, which most home kitchens don't. Good luck!


I know school is out now but in middle school for the past 3 years teachers always favortismed the popular kids! Now I am going on to high school and i want to know if it is the same!

I am still in school! What is that shit! Anyway, there are nice teachers who do their job well and try not to show favoritism, just as there are teachers who do not. High school teachers are generally not as open as Middle school teachers.


Me and my friends Ben and Cody were coming out of a club and a group of 4 black people were trying to start crap with us over basically nothing. We told them we just came to have a good time not get in a fight. One of them came up calling my friend Ben a stupid cracker that should watch his back. Ben is 5'8" but puts up 365 on the bench. He said he's tired of stupid ni**ers always starting stuff and when he took a swing at my friend. needless to say, ben knocked him out cold.  The bouncers broke up the situation. The police came and the black group basically made it out to look like we are the bad guys because my friend called them ni**ers. I dont really have anything against black people but i dont disagree with ben that they WERE just being stupid ni**ers looking for trouble.  I know not all black people are like this but alot of them around here are. This isnt the first time a situation like this has happened. Who's in the wrong here?

That don't sound like a race card. It sound like they had beef.


They say:\n- The new pads that go with the belt are thin\n- They don't stick to your body by acciden\n- They won't fold and bunch up to themselves\n- Can use them without undies or under pantyhose\n- Hold in place, won't move, fit snug\n- Belts are now in various colors and styles\n- Sales have tripled in past 5 yrs. to younger women\n\nDesigned for women that prefer pads. It also mentions that more than 1000 women die each year from tampons (TSS) even when used properly. Do the belts work well? If you don't think so - then WHAT EXPLAINS the resurgance of sales - even by companies that ALSO make the sticky pads?


i mneed a new outside game for my kids help,please help anything will do!

split them up into two teams, and get all the soft balls you have around. make a line in the middle of the yard. on your command, they should try to throw all the balls to the other side. this is called 'take out the laundry' and it's over when all the balls are on one side.\n\nanother i use with my soccer team: one kid is in the middle with a soccer ball. it's tag - but he has to tag the other kids' legs below the knees with the soccer ball. for the team, it improves passing skills, but the kids love playing it so much they ask to play it over and over.

As far as I understand the fine print on the back of my proxy forms, if i don't vote my shares, the broker has the discretionary option to vote my proxy?  (My broker further claims that they would vote consistent with the recommendation of the board of directors.)  Couldn't a brokerage exploit this option and cast votes as they please?

Brokerage won't vote.  If you don't vote, by default you are agreeing with whatever officers of the company are proposing.  So really you are shooting yourself in the foot, especially if you don't read what they are throwing at you.\n\nRival


They gauging our reaction to set the maximum price.

The bastards are messing with us!  They are simply raising the prices to fatten up their wallets.  Their profits have raised by 30% and they keep changing the reasons for prices going up.  We never get a straight answer.  First its "a pipe broke and needs to be repaired so oil has gone up", then its "everyones using too much gas in their suvs", then its "we're negotiating to lower prices", um, excuse me but doesnt Bush OWN a refinery?


Don't hear a lot about Afghanistan. Hows it going over there?\nAre we winning hearts and minds? Is the average person on the street tolerant of us? Are things moving forward? Do you feel like things are going well? etc. etc.

It’s going not-so-good, but not as bad as it could be.  \n\nThe bad news: Hamid Karzai may be the best option, but his primarily activities seem to be weakening parliament as much as he can and installing people from his own clam and ethnic group into all positions of power that he can (oh, and pardoning his convicted drug dealer brother).  The US really scaled back operations in the country in the past few years, which gave the Taliban and related groups a chance to organize, form alliances and strengthen their positions.  Now the US is starting to figure this out and is putting a bit ore effort into it, but a lot more is needed.  \n\nAlso, Afghan people thought that things would get better now that the US was here, but for most, life didn’t change at all, and now they feel disillusioned and wonder why they should put up with foreign militaries in their country if they don’t get anything for it. In the South they are also more socially conservative, and are concerned about any immorality coming to their areas. So much more investment, soldiers, attention, etc. is needed because things are slowly getting worse, even with the increased interest, and only concrete improvements in their lives will convince the Afghans that the foreign powers really are there to help.  As the Taliban and affiliated forces increase in strength in the South, they spread their ideology and even those that don’t agree feel obligated to work with them to stay alive, as the US and ISAF forces can’t permanently secure their villages. \n\nThe good news: It is not (yet?) Iraq.  A civil war is not on the table.  A thousand civilians aren’t killed in a month.  The economy is growing (especially in Kabul, where it is booming), more schools and clinics are open and security is better than it was during the Taliban.  It still offers opportunity (for some), reform is happening (just very slowly) and there is a parliament sent to represent each area, and it is fighting the President’s efforts to weaken their authority. Imports from Pakistan are streaming in, and it even finally rained after a years-long drought.  (There is a lot for visitors to buy– esp. handicrafts like carpets, embroideries and jewelry (and anything else made of precious or semi-precious gems).

Walt Disney is expanding its investments in Vietnam as part of a drive to generate new growth from its international businesses.The media group, which already has cable channels in Vietnam, has struck an agreement to distribute films there, including Cars, a much-anticipated animated production from its Pixar division.Disney has also signed a licensing agreement with Eastern Media Holdings to sell toys, apparel and other consumer products in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.The investments, though small in financial terms, reflect the company's intention to focus on emerging markets. Robert Iger, chief executive, identified the international business, which contributed 22 per cent of Disney revenues in 2005, as a priority when he took charge seven months ago.The investments also offer another sign of the deepening commercial ties between the US and Vietnam three decades after the Vietnam War.

I have a Persuasive project to do and I need refute on Animal Testing...Please Help.

Pros of Animal Testing\n- makes sure product is safe before selling it to people\n- avoids having to test on people\n- allows scientists to research new medicines, vaccines against \n   disease etc.\n- by looking at animals, can understand people better\n\nCons of Animal Testing\n- animals are mistreated in the labs\n- conditions they live in before being used for testing are also bad\n- many of the experiments are cruel and can be painful\n- curiosity doesn't give people the right to abuse other living \n   creatures\n- doesn't even advance science all that much


my prostate was so swollen i didnt pee for days i was lucky it didnt back up into my kidneys but now i need ideas from guys or girls to keep it small i tryed sawpallmento but so far no change but maybey it takes time any other remedys or herbs i dont ever want to feel like that again so i need input please.

Urinate when you first get the urge. Also, go to the bathroom when you have the chance, even if you don't feel a need to urinate. \nAvoid alcohol and caffeine, especially after dinner. \nDon't drink a lot of fluid all at once. Spread out fluids throughout the day. Avoid drinking fluids within 2 hours of bedtime. \nTry NOT to take over-the-counter cold and sinus medications that contain decongestants or antihistamines. These medications can increase BPH symptoms. \nKeep warm and exercise regularly. Cold weather and lack of physical activity may worsen symptoms. \nLearn and perform Kegel exercises (pelvic strengthening exercises). \nReduce stress. Nervousness and tension can lead to more frequent urination. \nMedications and antibiotics are also helpful of which your doctor should have mentioned.  As far as Saw Palmetto, a well-conducted study published in the February 9, 2006 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine found that this herb was no better than a dummy pill in relieving the signs and symptoms. Further studies are needed.


So i am in the 10th and i have to do a powerpoint presentation on how the feuds and fighting affected the outcome of the play what subtopics should i have and what should i talk about

shortened version?\n\njust watch "west side story"


the stundents should be guied with measuring instruments such as metre scale, weights etc.

I dont know whether the cheating is about return back of balance changes after deducting the bill amount from payment tendered. Or in the weighments or measurements.\nMost of the items come packed with weights marked/printed.\nIt is common packing so even elders can check if they want by reweighing in test cases.\nMeasurement sale is seldom done . May be in cloth shops or wires etc. Even if you know measurement shop can cheat . But not all shops do it. You can go home and remeasure it.\n\nRegarding balance of changes even the shops go by computerised billing and the money tendered is shown and balance is also shown. If by credit card then it is auto debited and we can check it\nSo I am not able to understand the question\nBut for improvimn maths you can introduce games with dummy paper currencies and changes and buy and sell transactions and that may teach plus minus easily.


what is your favorite guitar and with what pickup configuration

I'm not so much into guitars, but my hubby says:\n\n"It depends on what style of music you are playing.  For metal, I'd go with an Ibanez RG Series with a Wizard II neck with pickup selection consisting of DiMarzio pickups or (if you want to go all out) go with EMG 81 on the bridge and EMG 85 on the neck.\n\nIf you want to play hardcore, screamo, that kind of thing, go with a Gibson Les Paul with stock pickups.  But if you like good distortion, either use a Seymore Duncan JB 59s or EMGs.\n\nAnd if you just want to go extreme metal, good shred stuff, something that's lightweight, go with ESP (or if you can't afford that, LTD), they come stock with EMGs.\n\nOverall, it really depends on what type of music I'm playing, these are just what I prefer."\n\nHe's a crazy music nut.

Hello there,\nLooking at all these mental ilnesses like ADD ADHD and Chemical Imbalance i feel confused.Though Doctor diagnosed me for Chemical Imbalnce and that cause me two depression attacks,reading at ADD and ADHD symptoms i feel like it goes with me more....Is it possible to to have ADD or ADHD at this 26 years old age??\nHow close Chemical imbalance, Depression and ADD,ADHD are....\n\nPlease explain me.....\nThanks in Advance.

Hi, have you ever heard of comorbid conditions? It means coexisting conditions. I have bipolar as well as ADD/ anxiety, but bipolar being the dominant. It is not common for people with a chemical imbalance to also have a secondary illness such as mine. My Dr. does not treat the ADD, because the stimulants would not be good for my bipolar. Would be glad to answer any questions just send me a message.

which is a better profession - medicine or engg and why do u think so?\ntell me this answer with respect to job prospects,salary,less work etc

I believe both professions are equally good and you should opt for the one which suits your personality.What i mean by this is that medicine is for the students who have immense interest in biology and who do not think of anything else than studies while engineering is for students who have a greater inclination towards mathematics.In the field of medicine there are less number of seats so you have to strive for excellence and face very tough competition ,for example in India there are 25000 seats for 250000 students while its more for engineering.salary depends on the kind of company that recruits you but it is generally good enough.more hard work is required for medicine.\nI hope this would help!


My mother is taking Metformin and the doctor prescribed her with Metformin HCL and we were wondering the difference.  We asked but can't remember...I think it is a waterpill added.

There is no difference between metformin and metformin hydrochloride. This product, trade named Glucophage and Glucophage XL, can be referred to by either name. \n\nThe only thing can be the duration of the effect, one acts slower than the other.

bandwidth, quality and selectivity all these come together when telecommunication comes into act. \nwhether we talk about gsm or cdma bandwidth plays a very important role. everything that is scarce needs very optimal use, and bandwidth is scarce resource today.\nevery country has its own spectrum allocation rules based upon the frequency spectrum allocated for each service by FCC (Federal Communication Commision).\nnow wen we talk bout optimal use of bandwidth specifically in gsm where we are using both TDM + FDM for channel allocation and this is the point (channel allocation) where where the quality comes into play.\nso quality and bandwidth relate with each other as to how efficiently each customer is allocated a channel so as there is no interference or cross talk and there is no call drop, the hand-off takes place successfully and the voice quality is good(atleast).\n\nthere is a Mean Opnion Score(MOS) which judgs the quality of service (QoS) of a service provider\n\n   MOS  --   Inference\n\n    5 -- Voice quality excellent and  no call drops\n    4 -- Voice quality good with very few call drops\n    3 -- Voice quality understandable with few call drops\n    2 -- Voice quality poor with little breaks and more call  drops\n    1 -- Voice quality very poor with many breaks and many call drops\n\nthis is how quality and bandwidth relate with each other when we have have to give best of the services with minimal usage of bandwidth.\n\nand about selectivity, i m not sure u r asking selectivity in which context...if u r asking selectivity of the service providers then it can be based upon the quality of service discussed earlier,\n\nand if u r asking bout the selectivity of which digital cellular system to go for going around the world....\nor u r asking bout to go for GSM or CDMA then obviously both gsm and cdma have their own advantages and disadvantages.\n\nu can mail me at ankit_in_iiitm@yahoo.co.in\n\nAnkit Arora\nB.E.( Electronics and Telecommunication) and MBA (Knowledge Management and IT Enabled Services )

what are the side effects of each of them?

The pill.Possible Side Effects\nThe birth control pill is a safe and effective method of birth control. Most young women who take the Pill have none to very few side effects. However, the side effects that some women do have while on the Pill include:\n\nirregular menstrual bleeding \nnausea, weight gain, headaches, dizziness, and breast tenderness \nmood changes \nblood clots (rare in women under 35 who do not smoke) \nSome of these side effects improve over the first 3 months on the Pill. When a girl has side effects, a doctor will sometimes prescribe a different brand of the Pill.\n\nThe Pill also has some side effects that most young women are happy about. It usually makes periods much lighter, reduces cramps, and is often prescribed for women who have menstrual problems. Taking the Pill often improves acne, and some doctors prescribe it for this purpose. Birth control pills have also been found to protect against some forms of breast disease, anemia, ovarian cysts, and uterine cancer.\nDepo provera\nSide effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Depo-Provera.\n\nBy far, the most common side effect of Depo-Provera is unpredictable menstrual bleeding. In fact, most women have some change in their menstrual pattern. For example, when first taking Depo-Provera, it is common to have spotting between menstrual periods, or an increase or decrease in the amount of bleeding when menstrual periods occur. With continued use, many women stop having their menstrual periods altogether.\n\nBy 12 months (or four injections), 55 percent of women report not having periods, and by 24 months, 68 percent no longer have periods. Going without a menstrual period is not an indication that something is wrong, however.\n\n\nMore common side effects may include: \nAbdominal pain or discomfort, dizziness, headache, nervousness, unpredictable menstrual bleeding, weakness or fatigue, weight gain or loss \n\n\nLess common side effects may include: \nAcne, backache, bloating, breast pain, swelling, or tenderness, decreased sex drive, depression, fluid retention, hair loss, hot flashes, inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, inability to have an orgasm, joint pain, lack of hair growth, leg cramps, nausea, pain in the pelvic area, rash, vaginal discharge or irritation, vaginal inflammation \n\n\nRare side effects may include: \nAllergic reactions (sometimes severe), anemia, asthma, bleeding from the rectum or nipples, blood clots, blood clots in the lungs, blood disorders, breast cancer, breast lumps, cancer in the neck of the uterus, changes in appetite, change in breast size, chest pain, chills, convulsions, difficult or labored breathing, drowsiness, dry skin, excessive growth of hair, excessive or unusual flow of milk, excessive sweating and body odor, excessive thirst, facial paralysis, fainting, feeling of being pregnant, fever, hoarseness, increased sex drive, infections of the reproductive and urinary tracts, lack of return to fertility, overgrowth of the uterus, pain at the injection site, pain during sexual intercourse, painful menstruation, paralysis, prevention of the flow of milk, rapid heartbeat, skin discoloration, stomach and intestinal problems, swelling in the armpit, thinning of bones, tingling or ``pins and needles'', toughening or hardening of the skin, unexpected pregnancy, vaginal cysts, varicose veins, yellow eyes and skin \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


When i was eating lunch with my friends,my other friends in the different table were looking for my friend and they saw my close friend hanging out with their friend and i heard them saying saying"gosh!why does she always take her away?"and her friend said" i know she she always do that!!" should i tell my close friend what my other friend told her?

no .. you should just stay out of it.. no one takes anyone away, unless that person wants to go.. you have to remember we all have our own minds and free will..

You could be fantastic at Basketball but because of the height of the ring only tall players will ever get selected.

Basketball only discriminates against people who can't play the game. \n\nIf you can play, it doesn't matter how tall or short you are. \n\nMuggsy Bogues couldn't dunk, but at 5'3", he played 14 years in the NBA... of course, in his case, you can't tell me that there wasn't SOME guy out there on planet Earth who was 6'3 or so who wasn't better than Muggsy...but he did last 14 years in the NBA... of course, no team that had him ever amounted to anything. Same with Spud Webb (who, at 5'7, COULD dunk, and in fact won the slam dunk contest one year, around 1986 or 1987). Webb played for 12 years, but none of HIS teams ever won anything of significance either.\n\nBogues and Webb were valued more for their gate appeal than their ability to help their teams actually win something.


I'm planning a cozy birthday party for my 2 y-o daughter. Her dad is away for business.

Why don't you have a special Mommy's Day with her on her actual birthday. She's two, she understands babies in mommy's bellies, etc. Celebrate the day to the hilt with her. Playground, HER favorite foods all together, explain that you're celebrating because she came into the world for the whole world to enjoy, and YOU got to be a mommy on this very special day!! Start the morning with balloons at breakfast, balloons in the bathroom during her bath, just a complete day of celebration...and then have the party when EVERYONE can be there.... Happy 2nd Year of Mommy Hood. I can't believe MY baby (one of them) is turning 20 on Thursday!!!  OMG. Like snapping my fingers..and he is 20.

Catholics believe that one can get to heaven by "being a good person" and doing good works.  But the Bible says that "There is none good.  No, not one" and that "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags".  There are many more references but I don't have time to type them all right now.  Real Christians have been born-again.


I used to live at a block of flat tat has been tear down already. And my mum use to tell me this story to scare me from coming home late but it still work for me. Cuz it still gives me the creep when i reach home after midnite. So let me tell you.\n\nOnce there was this gal that use to live in my block of flat. As my block of flat is rather isolated. There are only people living on th eigth and tenth storey. For your information, i was the 3rd family to move in the block. Anyway whenever this gal take the lift, it will definitely stop at the 6th storey as if there are people going in or out of the lift. We tried calling the lift repairmen a few times but everytime after repairing it, it will still stop at the 6th storey after 1 week or so.\n\nSo one day, this gal juz came back home from her fren's party and it was like in the middle of the nite at abt 12am. So wat this gal did was she called home to ask her mum to wait for her at the void deck to pick her up.\n\nShe reached her house void deck and there was no one yet. She was rather drunk so she juz ly on the wall while waiting for her mum. After a while, her mum came. The gal was vomiting and so her mum pass her tissue to wipe herself. After tat they took the lift home. They lived on the 8th storey.\n\nWhile in the lift, the girl felt like vomiting but she control herself. She didnt want to make the lift stink. As the lift was going up to the 5th storey, it suddenly occur to her tat its going to stop at the 6th storey again. So she was scared and she held onto her mum real tight. She was really glad tat her mum was with her at tat point of time. But how can the two poor women defend themselves even if something bad were to happen. AND THEN IT HAPPENED!!!\n\nThe lift stopped at the 6th storey again. The doors open and the gal was really scared. She saw something from a distance but she cant make up wat it was. She was eally drunk by then and everything seems blurry especially in the dark. So she whispered to her mum:" Mum, i'm scared!" And she hug onto her mum real tight.\n\nHer mum was really calm though. She put her arm around her daughter and assure her. And then she say:" Do i really look like your mum to you?" \n\nThe gal looked up to see clearly her "mum" face. For tat instant out of fear, she became sobber and evrything start to become clear. The woman's mouth was so wide tat as she's grinning, her smile split her face from ear to ear.\n\n"WELCOME HOME, MY SON."\n"I'mrightbehindyou !!!"


Keep in mind that you can't monday morning quarterback this thing. Rememeber There was no certainty one way or the other on iraq WMD and link to terrorism. You have to assume that your intelligence is stating that there is a strong possibility Iraq possesses WMD since this was a common belief prior to the war and their is intel that suggests cooperation and links with terrorism like the one that just attack your country. There is also intel to the contrary. People feel unsafe the county is scared and you have just had a major break down in security under your watch. So waht do you do. Please respond in detail from 9/11/01 to present what would you have done?

Here's an issue Ive had trouble resolving:\nWe can debate when a embryo becomes a baby until were blue in the face, but biblically abortion is vague at best.  There's no direct rule about it despite the fact that abortions were carried out in BC times (albeit crudely).\n\nI will give you thou shalt not kill and similar doctrine.  Yet, christians consistently put their support behind candidates who pro-death penalty??!!  There is zero doubt that a 30 year old is a person, so why is this ok?\n\nWhile the (christian) bible is vague on abortion, it could'nt be more clear here (thou shalt not kill, let he who is free from sin cast the first stone, etc...).\n\nWhat side are you on?  Is it OK to take a life in some circumstances or is it not?

Question: "What does the Bible say about the death penalty / capital punishment?"\n\n \n\nAnswer: The Old Testament law commanded the death penalty for various acts: murder (Exodus 21:12), kidnapping (Exodus 21:16), bestiality (Exodus 22:19); adultery (Leviticus 20:10); homosexuality (Leviticus 20:13), being a false prophet (Deuteronomy 13:5), prostitution and rape (Deuteronomy 22:4), and several other crimes. However, God often showed mercy when the death penalty was due. David committed adultery and murder, yet God did not demand his life be taken (2 Samuel 11:1-5, 14-17; 2 Samuel 12:13). Ultimately, each and every sin we commit should result in the death penalty (Romans 6:23). Thankfully, God demonstrates His love for us in not condemning us (Romans 5:8).\n\n \n\nWhen the Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in the act of adultery to Jesus and asked Him if she should be stoned, Jesus replied, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her" (John 8:7). This should not be used to indicate that Jesus rejected capital punishment in all instances. Jesus was simply exposing the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. The Pharisees wanted to trick Jesus into breaking the Old Testament Law...they truly did not care about the woman being stoned (where was the man who was caught in adultery?) God was the One who instituted capital punishment: “Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man” (Genesis 9:6). Jesus did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). Therefore, I would say that Jesus would support capital punishment. Jesus also demonstrated grace when capital punishment was due (John 8:1-11). The Apostle Paul definitely recognized the power of the government to institute capital punishment where appropriate (Romans 13:1-5).\n\n \n\nSo, basically, we are back to were we started. Yes, God allows capital punishment. But at the same time, God does not always demand the death penalty when it is due. What should a Christian’s view on the death penalty be, then? First, we must remember that God has instituted capital punishment in His Word; therefore, it would be presumptuous of us to think that we could institute a higher standard than He or be more kind than He. God has the highest standard of any being since He is perfect. This standard applies not only to us but to Himself. Therefore, He loves to an infinite degree, and He has mercy to an infinite degree. We also see that He has wrath to an infinite degree, and it is all maintained in a perfect balance


I was raised wih the belief that men treat women with respect, they watch their words and go out of their way to show kindness to a lady.  I was taught that ladies would act and speak in a way that lent itself to respect.  I believe that people should stand against injustice, that Faith has value, that a strong man was free to be gentle, and that there was virtue found in integrity.  I am young, but even as I write these words I feel like a dinosaur from another era, irrelevant and out of touch.  Is there any place left for honor, or is it just the stuff of an earlier age and corny stories our grandparents told?

Although the womens movement back in the 60's (and since) did much for women in many great ways, it also took a lot away from us as well, in my opinion.\n\nMen and women ARE different.  I don't want to be treated like a man at all.  Seems like both men and women used to know where they fit in <in society> and how to behave when there were more definite gender roles.  \n\nI hope that one day people will get back to the "old ways" of men being men and women being women....nothing wrong with that!\n\nYou may feel like a dinosaur, but you're definitely not out of touch!  You have it right, I'd say, and your parents did a good job.


Does anybody know, how muslims can beat their women? How coward of them to beat Women. I would understand one another but women, dont they know or understand that they are of less, much less strength?\n\nI beleive that is cowardice? It doesnt fit into my brain? does it fit into yours?\n\ncheck this site out  \nhttp://www.investigateislam.com/sura_4.htm

It is sad how people will use anything they can to put down another group that they don't understand. If Muslims were the only ones that beat  their women my life would have been so much better but they are not. it takes a weak man to hit a woman and they are in every country following every religion on this earth . By the way I was brought up in a Christian home and saw a lot of violence. \nOne Planet = One People

I was watching Smallville the other day, and you know how Clark's Kryptonian parents sent him on his little spaceship to earth and Clark got there in very little time? Well, I was thinking that the only way for him to travel to earth that quickly were to either go faster than the speed of light (which, I believe you'd need an infinite amount of energy to be able to do that) or somehow fold space so you could quickly go from planet to plant. Now, to my question, is it possible to create a fold in time and if you did would it destroy space?

The basic idea behind “folding” space or time comes from Einstein’s General theory of Relativity, so if you’ll bear with me for a moment…  What he proposed was a totally new, geometrical description of space and time that led to a different description of gravity—one that linked space to time and mass to energy in a fundamentally geometrical fashion. In other words, mass(-energy) shapes space(-time) instead of acting like a “force” in the traditional Newtownian sense. This alteration in the fundamental geometry of space-time is often described as the “curvature” or “bending” of space. \n\n(Thus, in Newton’s description of gravity, one would say that all bodies exert an attractive gravitational force on one another; “space” is just the place where it happens. In Einstein’s conception, one would say that all bodies change the underlying geometry of space—and time, too—in a way that causes them to be attracted to one another.)\n\nSo we often talk of space-time being “warped” or “curved” (honestly, “folded” sounds a little extreme) by the presence of mass(-energy). The only we see space-time deformed in the Universe around us is by the presence of a lot of matter—light being bent around the Sun, clocks being affected by Earth’s gravity, that sort of thing.  To do something similar (like the “Smallville” example) would require very large quantities of mass or energy.\n\nThe caveat is that curvature or bending really only provides an analogy to what the equations tell us. If you want to imagine the effects of an object on its surrouning space(-time), then you can think of it as changing the shape of space(-time) in its vicinity. The distortion is real—we can measure its effects—but the images that are often presented (of flexible sheets of space-time with bowling balls or marbles rolling around on them) simply present analogous situations.\n\nThe issue with “folding” is that it suggests something like a crease in space-time, and that’s problematic in the sense that gentle “curves” or “warps” are mathematically simple to describe, but adding anything like a hard edge becomes tricky.  Plus, to make the transition from one part of space-time to another requires bringing those two points in contact—a challenge that makes “folding” look simple!\n\nJ. Richard Gott wrote a book, “Time Travel in Einstein’s Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time” that addresses the “reality” of time travel from the perspective of contemporary physics:\nhttp://www.powells.com/partner/30700/biblio/0395955637\n\n\nRyan Wyatt\nRose Center for Earth & Space\nNew York, New York

I am curous about Pay , Job security and how difficult is it to find a job once out of school

East coast fl...I am a Surgical Tech but my aunt is head of the Radiography department. X-ray techs are a vital part of the healthcare industry. It is a reliable and growing field. Ask a local hospital if you can do a "shadow" of the department. Tell them you are going to be entering the program and would like to see how and what is envolved. You can also specialize in areas such as ultra sound tech to. YOu can do both and be more valuable. Try payscale.com for pay. Realize though that you have to consider the type of place, Hospital, or private practice, and many times you can get job placement through school. I hope that you really check on this it is a great area of healthcare.


They have the highest prostate cancer of any ethnic group in the world, how is that possible?

I think that overall if you examined the demographics of the African-American you would find that their overall income level is low and that few have access to decent health insurance.  Combine a low income (which usually means an unhealthy diet) and no health insurance (which equates to lack of early detection for diseases such as prostate cancer)and you find a propensity for certain social groups to be more prone to certain diseases.  It's sad that in this rich nation there are people who are surviving without basic necessities.

i gain weight last christmas vacation and i worked out this summer but it seems that my legs aint getting thin again. red and visible stretchmarks all over it. help me guys. pls.

Look don't fret about the stretch marks just look ahead and we can work on getting you back to the shape you are after. Just follow this routine and you will be fine. Take it from someone who has two babies and stretchmarks I am still very confident with my physical appearance since I got my shape back. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1500 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1800 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1500 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

i do understand what they are saying honestly i am torn and embaressed how my people have been acting marching streets demanding things and waving mexico's flag i could understand how that would make people mad i have mexican flag at home and am proud to be mexican but i would not be marching the streets with it here i read some of the questions answers on here and you are only making them more mad at us i think we should re think how we are going about this . i also love mexico though i know they wont understand this i dont expect them too i want our country to thrive here and some day we can have mexican people in the senate and we can help more of our people and become stronger but not by hating on them it wont happen that way my people lets be nice to them

Now, you are a Mexican person that I can try to understand.  However, I also feel as Hayleylov does about your "loving Mexico."  If you love Mexico, why did you leave it?  If you love Mexico, why don't you go back there and try to help that country?  Why don't you just admit that Mexico is an awful country because they don't love or help their people?  If they did, their people wouldn't be making tracks to the USA for a better life!  I would understand you more if you said that you love your people and your culture, but that you don't love the government of Mexico and that you want to do something to change things back home.  I like that you seem to understand how the American citizens feel about the marching in the streets of the illegal immigrants and the waving of their flag while doing so.  However, you also say, "I want our country to thrive here and some day we can have mexican people in the senate and we can help more of our people and become stronger but not by hating them it wont happen that way my people lets me nice to them."  That whole sentence is offensive to American citizens!  No, you should want your country to thrive in Mexico, not here, and you should fix the government of Mexico, not state how you want Mexicans in the senate [in the USA] - that is not the way into the heart of Americans. That still sounds like you are "taking over."  Stop that kind of talk if you want to be accepted in the USA!  I, also, am from two countries - I was born in the USA and now live in Canada, having immigrated (legally) to Canada with my family many years ago and I have legal citizenship of both countries. I also love both countries very much!  However, I did not come to Canada saying that we Americans are going to take over Canada and place our American people into positions in the Canadian government, etc.,  Yes, be nice to the American citizens and talk about how much you love the USA and your mother country of Mexico and how you hope to make things better for your people in Mexico one day.  That is a much better and more acceptable way to be speaking when you have come to another country.  Believe me!

Derived from the Greek words dys, meaning “difficult,” meno, meaning monthly, and rrhea, meaning “flow,” dysmenorrhea is the term used to describe painful menstrual cramping. In your case, Endometriosis immediately comes to mind. See www.endocenter.org and www.centerforendo.com for education and support related to the disease.\n\nAlmost all menstruating women experience some cramping during their periods, referred to as either primary dysmenorrhea, which refers to "normal" menstrual pain, or secondary dysmenorrhea, which arises as a result of an underlying disease or disorder. The condition is among the leading complaint in women who present to their physicians for gynecologic pain. More than half of all menstruating women have pain associated with menses, and studies have shown that dysmenorrhea is one of the most common reasons women miss work and/or school. Nearly 10% of women with the condition are incapacitated for up to three days each month[1].\n\n"Normal" menstrual cramps occur in almost all women due to the release of hormones known as prostaglandins. These are hormones produced by the endometrium (the lining of the uterus), which cause the uterus to contract, sometimes quite painfully, in order to expel the menstrual debris. Some women produce higher levels of prostaglandins than others, so they may hurt more. Increased prostaglandin production can also cause the distressing gastrointestinal symptoms some women may experience. Primary dysmenorrhea most commonly occurs within a few years of menarche (a woman’s first period), while secondary dysmenorrhea can occur years after the onset of menarche.\n\nPain with primary dysmenorrhea usually begins on or about the first day of a woman’s period and can last up to 72 hours. In a woman with secondary dysmenorrhea, she may have painful symptoms occurring a week or more prior to her period and lasting even after her flow has stopped. In the case of a woman who has secondary dysmenorrhea, there are other reasons for her pain, including diseases or conditions like Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, cervical stenosis, structural abnormalities in the vagina or uterus itself, fibroids, or similar concern.\n\nDysmenorrhea can be diagnosed based on symptoms, patient history, physical findings, and when appropriate, diagnostic tests such as vaginal or pelvic ultrasound, hysteroscopy (an examination of the inside of the uterus) and/or hysterosalpingogram (an evaluation of the uterus and fallopian tubes). In cases of secondary dysmenorrhea, laparoscopic surgery can be very beneficial at affording a diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause. Symptoms often include painful pelvic or abdominal cramping, headache, suprapubic cramping (an area of the pelvis overlying the bladder), backache, pain radiating down into the thigh area, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea and even syncope (a temporary of consciousness). Upon physical exam, those with primary dysmenorrhea exhibit normal vital signs and a tender uterus, but no cervical or ovarian abnormalities. Patients with secondary dysmenorrhea may exhibit varied vital signs depending on the underlying cause and may be found to have tenderness, nodules, and/or enlargement of the uterosacral ligaments, the rectovaginal septum or other adnexa (the region of the pelvis that encompasses the ovary, fallopian tube and surrounding broad ligament). \n\nTreatment options are based on the underlying cause of the pain (primary v. secondary dysmenorrhea) and range from medical to alternative therapies. Commonly, Non-Steroidal Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin or ibuprofen may be recommended to help with cramping, and more recently, COX-2 inhibitors have also been approved for treatment of dysmenorrhea. Prescription painkillers may also be recommended where appropriate. Combination (ethynylestradiol and progestin) oral contraceptives can also help reduce prostaglandin production, thereby alleviating the
