what is the average speed in meters per second of serving, spiking, passing, bumping and setting a volleyball

For a back row spike I found 26.7-27.6m/s (mean).  Sorry, but that was all I could find!  I was going to do a study on it - but then I switched out of biomechanics into exercise physiology.  You could do it by calculating time elapsed between contacting the ball and the ball reaching the floor.  You would have to know the height at which the ball was contacted and how far it traveled horizontally from the point of contact.  They you find the hypotenuse using Pythagorean theorem and divide this number by the time to get an estimated velocity.


Why might this be a reasonable conjecture?  Can we use it as a rule of arithmetic?  If not, what goes wrong?

What goes wrong is the loss of information.  All _n_ divided by zero goes into the same "infinite quality".\n\nIt is possible to admit different infinite numbers; this is Robinson's approach with "nonstandard analysis", and then there are a myriad of choices as what to admit and what to disallow.  If you take that approach, it is still easier to disallow n/0 as undefined, and permit other "zeroes" where n/d is defined, where d is one of those classes of zeroes.\n\nIt is exactly equivalent, however, to the following:\nlim(d->0) n/d.  In this case the limit doesn't exist, but there are other "zero approaching denomenators" where the limit does exist.  One very important one:\n\nlim(d->0) sin(d)/d = 1


That I answer a question on here and the answer does NOT go threw? I took the time to answer it and got NO points either.

You mentioned that you "took time to answer"\nwell. it could be that the yahoo servers timed out on you. the servers disconnected you from being logged on. so the answer did not go through. hope that answers your question.\n\nand don't worry, your question was in the right category.\n\n"server time out" is computer related stuff.


Funny how there are a big mismatched diversed bunch of people in my school and then there are the asian who are probably the only people who put themselves into a category. They actually have a reserved corner of the school unofficially named Chinatown. Me being half-white and half-Filipino, it creates quite a convenience since I am accepted by both ends.

i myself am a FULL FLEDGED asian (vietnamese chinese). we stick together because we need each other in this world of hate and racism. we are just scared that we are just going to get made fun of and beaten up. there are just a whole lot of racists in the world. also because we don't really find any other asians to hang out with, and it's cool that we get to meet some of our kind once in a while.

Would second the DeLand answer - I did Skydive U there.  There are lots of places ... suggest u find something local that is a big enough drop zone so you can get lots of lifts in a day.\n\nIf you want to do AFF (accellerated free fall) make sure you check they can do that.  \n\nA drop zone with a number of different aircraft can be a blast.  \n\nHave a look around for DZs then go an lurk ... ask the folks and u will soon find if its a friendly place (pretty much all are).\n\nBlue skies friend ...


if a carbon atom was  enlarged to the size of the solar system would the electrons and protrons be in distance     scale to the nucleus as the planets are to the sun?

Lordy, no. Atoms are so empty, the solar system isn't even close. And the solar system is pretty darn empty itself. \n\nIf you made a model of the solar system and one of the atom with the model sun the same size as the model nucleus, the closest-in electron would be 100 times as far out as the closest-in planet (Mercury, of course, which is out 50 Sun diameters).

how are teeth affected by flourides and acids

Flourides make teeth stronger. Acids make them weaker.


We have been talking for several months... but have gotten in a few arguements and so we took a break from each other. When we started back up we agreed to be just friends and go with the flow. He keeps saying he is not just about sex. So we have had sex but afterwards he stop talking to me. I heard a rumor that he might be involved with an organization and thats why he busy, which prevents him from talking. But, I really like him and I want to know if he used me to get his few minutes of fame or if he really might be into me. He said before he went silient that he wants to show me his feelings but he just doesnt have the time right now to do so... then a day later after a lil disagreement he said he need a break from me. But, he claims he still has feelings for me!! I am not sure if I got played or if he is just busy with this organization. He did give me a hint at the beginning of lst month that things were going to be different and not between our relationship.

He is definitely using you for sex. How do you not get that? My goodness, what are they teaching kids in school these days that they can't figure something like that out?


Personally, I would pick teleportation, it has always been my favorite :)

I would have the super power to stop,play,rewind and ,fastforward time. I doing any thing instead of looking up a history report I'll go back in time and see it.

i just got a 2003 acura cl type s and i was gettin on it for about 10 minutes straight the other night how bad is that for the car to do that once in awile the car only has 21000 miles on it ?

There's a reason why red lining is considered bad. It will seriously wears down the rings, and the excessive heat will quickly break down the lubrication and oil. Your engine will let you know how much damage you did to it by the amount of smoke you see out of your exhaust.


This just happened this morning, on two different computers. I even obtained another password and changed it back to my original which works just fine in all other areas of Yahoo. When I try to enter my portfolio, the same 'enter your password' page keeps repeating itself.

The same thing was happening to us yesterday. We were definitely typing in the correct password. Didn't seem to do with cookies or temporary internet files either. I'm thinking was a problem on the Yahoo side of things. Seems to be fixed today, without having to do anything on our end.\nThere were others having this same problem also. See the links below.


I just purchased a DVD burner, it didn't come with any softwere and I was wondering if there is freeware out there that will allow me to back up my copy of march of the penguins

Use the freeware version of DVD-Rebuilder, and DVDFab Decrypter. If you're going to be backing up a lot of DVD's then I strongly suggest that you invest in the Pro version of DVD-Rebuilder. It IS the BEST way to backup your DVDs. Another good investment would be AnyDVD.


I'm working out 5x's a week and have lost two sizes so now I'm a size 9 or 11 (depends on the clothes). Should a be patient or need to know how to fine tune just a little!

Congratulations on your great progress so far!  \n\nAs far as "fine-tuning," what the medical experts say about there being no such thing as spot reduction is true. If you, like most women, tend to store most of your body fat in your thigh and hip area, then continued reduction of overall body fat combined with resistance training is the only thing that will lean out those trouble spots.\n\nIf you are already working out five times a week, hopefully you are doing both cardio and weight lifting.  If you are not lifting yet, start to integrate it into your workouts.  A very basic split would be:\n\nM: Weights - Lower body\nT: Cardio - 30-45 minutes\nW: Weights - Upper body\nTh: Cardio - 30-45 minutes\nF: Weights - Lower body\nS: Cardio - 30-45 minutes\n\nTo accelerate fat loss, increase cardio to 5-7 days a week.   Incorporate lunges, leg presses, squats, leg curls, and sprints in your workouts if they aren't already in there to firm up the muscles in your lower body so it will look great when you do shed those last few pounds of fat. \n\nAt this point, diet is probably more important than the workouts.  Eating 5-6 small, balanced meals a day at a caloric deficit instead of 3 large ones will boost your fat burning.  \n\nAn easy to understand nutrition plan in this style is Body for Life - http://bodyforlife.com/nutrition/guidelines.asp


My insurance agent tells me that  an annuty is a safe way to invest. Is this true and are there any safer ways? I would like to invest 30,000 for my grand children when I pass away. I do not want them to have to wait on the money for everything to go through probate. I ahve been told that probate can take years. Does any one have any personal experince with the annuties paying out? Any help at all would be great/


I work at a facility that washes their own sheets in regular household laundry equipment.  I always thought there were temperature and detergent requirements for commercial hotels for health and sanitation reasons.  This is an extended stay corporate lodging facility in Washington State.

My partner used to hold contracts for the laundry of several hotels.\nThere were no regulations but he did all the loads in hot water, with bleach, dry on high heat.  This is sufficient to kill most things.\n\nA commercial washing machine doesn't do anything that a household machine can't.  I wouldn't worry about the type of machine.


i need to find a GED program that also helps me work towards getting my college credits, i am goin to be 18 in June, and have been out of the school system for almost 1 yr. i was told that the ASPIRA program would help but i've searched the web and i cant find it anywhere does any one have any info on it or on any GED programs for that matter that offer college credits while takin your GED?

HI\nYes ASPIRA still exist here is where you can find them...

I am the best man.  For his bachelor party, my brother wants to go out to Vegas with a group of guys, about 9, including my father and uncle, both about 60.\n\nMy wife is giving me a hard time, because the dates he picked overlap with her birthday.  This was not intentional by my brother.  I suspect she also thinks we are going to do nothing but go to strip bars.  Did she forget my Dad will be there?\n\nAnyway, he is my only brother, and I am the best man, is it wrong for me to go because it overlaps with my wifes birthday?

Not at all, your wife should be understandable enough to think, oh yah its your brothers wedding, her future brother in law ish or something like that lol, and think its all family, no problems, go have a great time, enjoy yourself buddy


I am very impressed with his performance in Philadelphia,You got a Mail, Sleepless in Seatle and Terminal. This role of a symbologist would require a lot of homework. I wonder whether the movie is going to be as impressive as the book. Dan Brown is marvellous. Some feel that Russel Crowe would have been a better choice for the role.

I don't think Tom Hanks would make a good Langdon. I'm 13 and I read "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown (also about Langdon) and personally considered that maybe Russel Crowe, Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman (since he studied the role for "Rain Man" so well). I think Tom is too young to play Langdon, correct me if I'm wrong. I also think that the movie will be a little bit worse than the book (which i have not read yet but my whole family has told me it was amazing), but still will be one of the best pictures of the year considering the hype. i have to agree that he was good in Terminal.


OK. I dumped him. Now I miss him so much it hurts. I can't get him out of my head. Getting back together is not an option at this point in time. My pain is as deep from what he did as it is for him not being around. I've tried all my ideas. None of them have worked. Anything new I could try?

I am sorry to hear that. That is a very painful process.  Every minute it's always the person in your mind.  I know how you feel.  Well, I would suggest a few ideas, they might not be the best.  However, time will eventually heals and I hope soon. My suggestion would be: (1) go out and meet new friends.  If you can't find new friends, at least hang out with the old ones (2) take a break and go for vacation with some friends if possible (3) take on hobbies - gymn, dance classes, swimming, meditation, etc .... (4) volunteer working at nursing homes and hospitals because sometimes seeing the others who have worse situation than you will make you realize how fortunate you are compared to the rest (5) watch movies, DVD's, etc ..... (6) if you believe in GOD, then you should also start praying. The bottom line is, you must keep you mind occupied most of the time. Therefore there is no room for him to bug your mind.  You must take courage to accept it and move on with your life.  I hope you find these tips helpful.  Meanwhile, I wish you the best.

nowadays there are a lot of research and surveys of articial intelligent.What i already know is the survey on :\n1) search algorithm  techniques\n2) knowledge representation schemes\n3) expert systems\n4) machine learning algorithms\n\nNeural network also a popular techniques of articial intelligent the it is used in :\n1) robotics\n2) image processing\n3) bioinformatics\n4) pattern recognition\n5) character recognition\n\ndo you have any ideas about this topics?i hope you can shared it with me..And if you know about what the newest technology used in artificial intelligent,please let me know..

If you're interested in AI, look into the Singularity.  The Singularity Institute is a great resource (link below).  The institute has lots of great information about current AI and of course the Singularity which is the idea that at some point we could create artificial intelligence that is smarter than human intelligence and what a reality-changing event that will be....


where can i buy lots of legos that came in a big box near ecko park or near hollywood

I've found that Toys R Us has a great selection. Also, places like Target, Walmart, and K Mart have the big boxes you are looking for. The boxes are hard to find, but keep looking periodically My brother loves legos so I've become a expert buyer of legos! Hope this helps!!


I just upgraded to the fastest Extreme DSL they offer after 2 years on a lower (2 levels lower) plan. They told me it was done from their central office within 24 hours. Upon doing so my DSL no longer works. It worked fine until they upgraded the speed. I went through 90 minutes of their Indian TECH guy to no avail. They are sending a technician in two days but I know the lines are fine and it has to do with the speed cause everything was working fine until they upgraded. They say my modem is fine to handle it (Westell - wirespeed - Model b90-220030-04). Tried resetting, all lines are good, ready light and all are fine but cant get my computer to run through the Extreme DSL. I am on 56K now UHHH..Can someone please help me? Flafuncop@yahoo.com THANKS to everyone that read this!

I'm thinkin your dsl modem needs to be reregistered with your server. Are you getting a "cannot find server" error?\nYou might try reseting your account. Go through the account setup software again.


can you leave michigan , with a suspended liscence and warrants , move to florida (or anywhere) and get a new drivers liscence? if not what happens if you get pulled over?

No. States do check on each other's driving records. Someone I know went through the same thing. Anyone is free to leave the State and go to another State. If you want to become a resident in that other State you need to get in touch with your probation office and ask them for some type of "transfer" documentation for the other State's probation office. You will not be able to get a drivers license in the other state until your sentence or guidelines from your old State are complete in the new State. Plus...you would want your old State to know so you won't get arrested for being AWOL on your probation when you go back to visit Aunt Wilma.

I am 53, been divorced for 8 years, and with this guy for 4 years... am I wasting time??

If you want a commitment, be it a monogamous relationship, marriage, or whatever it is you mean (you didn't specify), and you have let your partner know and he has rebuffed you, I'd say move on.  If you don't want the same thing, it's time to find someone who does.

I'm still unable to navigate through the right wing reasoning for supporting the war in Iraq at the expense of our citizens.

the neo-cons live in a very black and white world.  their philosopher king was a jewish refugee with very strong opinions on morality.  basically they believe that america should be allowed to do whatever it wants because they believe that america is our only hope for a peaceful civilization\n\nthe war's not really about terrorism but controlling the huge global trade in energy necessary for the "american way of life"


Most evident during big GOP events such as conventions, etc.

Well, thanks for the references to Rush and Drudge and Fox. Now I realize that it's really a lie that people of color tend to support democrats more than republicans. \nSo, you must be mistaken in your assumption. There really are lots of people of color at the conventions (well, maybe not as delegates, but they're around). You certainly can't believe your eyes, and you can't believe the polls.\nSo thanks, Rush and Sean and partners for setting me straight. It's really the Democrats who are bigoted, racist, and homophobic. The Republicans don't care if you are black, hispanic, gay, lesbian, atheist, muslim, rich, or poor. They welcome everyone to their fold!\nAnd to think I used to believe that Republican policies were hazardous to gays, non-Christians, minorities, and the poor. They really do want gays to marry each other, non-Christians to have as many rights as Christians, taxes that favor the poor, etc.


Making out is strictly kissing.  You and your partner kiss and there is no trying to get to second base or anything.  You may be just sitting there together or lying next to one another and you start kissing.  It isn't just that short quick kiss type of thing but long kissing followed by more kissing.  You just kind of lose yourselves in each other.


c.a.c. is an expression commonly used in France in the field of, I believe: - investing/- finance/ -stockexchange; - economy;  - etc.\n\nI tried in vain to find the meaning of it. Thanks for your help.

unfriendly environment-poor performance review - credibility always under fire by boss - accusatory boss with no proof - employer wants sign off stating "voluntarily resigned" but agrees not to contest unemployment benefits if filed for - will signing off as such, prevent unemployment benefits - must word "involuntarily resigned" "terminated" "dismissed" with verbiage...."as mutally agreed upon by employer and employee effective such and such a date".....be used for employee to receive unemployment benefits?  HELP - need immediate answer - today!!!!

If you voluntarily leave a job, you will not be entitled to get unemployment...you must be asked to resign or terminated..your benefits will also be cut if you turn down a new job.


This is a follow up on an earlier answer. What do you think about this case:\n\nQuestion:Do you still love your first Love?\n\nMy answer: \nAhhh, she is the one that got away :)\nI do. Even though she is married now and has three kids, I still find her very attractive, hot, sexy, warm, friendly, and a great fuck. \n\nHowever, to put things in perspective, I would not want to be with her since she's got her life and I've got mine. I'm happy that she is happy.\n\n:) I still fantasize about us and what it would be like if we got back togeather for one night. \n\nNow that I finished writing this, I'm starting to wonder if she was first love, or was she my first crush?

The fact that you are happy that she is happy I would say your first love.  You obviously aren't "in love" with her now, but the feelings are still there.  Crushes fade with time, loves don't.\n\nYou always love your first, even if you "get over them"


years. Do you think that older people make better leaders? Explain your opinion.

Age does not always make better leaders.  However, it does give you more evidence of who they are to base your vote on.  By the time someone is 50 or 60 years old, their life ought to give you a pretty good indication as to who they are and what they believe.  There is also a downside to electing older leaders.  Some tend to be unable to grasp the way the world has changed and the needs of today's youth as opposed to what worked when they were young.


while being off work she did get workers compensation. However she caught MRSA while in the hospital same wound. Workers compensation doesn't want to pay for the antibiotic to treat MRSA (vanco.). SHould they have to, or should the hospital?\n\nThe med is 5000.00 for a months supply

Call a workers comp attorney. Most of them will give you the info you need, such as if you should hire counsel, who should pay for the meds etc.\n\nGood Luck. I hope your mom feels better.


I think dependence on oil and use of electricity causes a lot of pollution, is too costly and un-economical, and it should be replaced by a pollution-free economical energy that would be less costly or self-sufficient. I think the best would be "man-power", such as population power, using raw human labor instead of using oil, electricity, and industry. Spreading out the over-populated inhabitants of the cities over the countryside to bring them directly in contact with Agriculture which would provide them with the food, clothing, and shelter materials, through collective ownership of the land and the products of labor. This would would many problems, such as: pollution, international trade exploitation, overpopulation in the towns and cities, poverty, hunger, unemployment, drug smuggling, rape, stealing, drunk-driving accidents, chemical contamination, radiation cancer, depression (loneliness), laziness, and gun-violence.

I think you ideas are two idealistic and not realistic considering the progression of our world today.  I think we should be on our thinking caps and try again to harness solar energy.


it dosint pain but the dentis said i had to drill it up ....\ni dont wana do the drilling for some months ... i have some personal reasons ... can anyone tell what i should eat ...and when to brush my teeth .. i do it once a day

I would not recommend putting off getting a filling if you have decay in your tooth.  If not treated the decay will only get larger and eventually spread into the nerve of the tooth causing infection.  If the decay reaches the nerve of your tooth, a mere filling will no longer be adequate... rather, you will have to have a root canal and a crown performed which are both quite costly procedures.  So, regardless of your personal reasons, get your tooth fixed as soon as possible.\n\nAs for recommended oral hygiene, you should be brushing 2-3 times per day using a soft toothbrush.  You should always be flossing at least once per day.


but also because of a perceived kinetic energy penalty. Does a crosswind actually steal energy from a cyclist?\nRepresent the cyclist and bike as a frictionless cart on a track. The cart has the same drag coefficient for any direction of incident wind. It travels at 20 mph along the track and there is a 20 mph crosswind. (To be clear, the crosswind is perpendicular to the track, and the apparent wind felt by the cart is 45 degrees off straight ahead.) State your case for or against additional drag loss due to the crosswind.

I think the answer lies not in mechanics, but in aerodynamics and maybe the theory of turbulence. My initial answer was that they will need additional energy to keep the bicycle stable, which might be true. Then I had an additional idea. I guess you are talking about cyclists moving in a group, not single cyclists. This group creates an air pocket (aerodynamic shade) which moves together with them, making cycling easier for those who cycle inside the group. Cross-wind blows this pocket away (or changes its shape dramatically), thus making it harder, especially if you have gusts of wind.  I would conjecture that if the road were wide enough and the cross-wind is steady, the group would still be able to benefit from the aerodynamic shade.

go to department stores and tell them you want to find out if your friends are registered for gifts and then you can find out names and dates of weddings. just get a diffrent person each time to do it and not at the same store... have fun.......

I've know this guy for 8 years. He's my best friends brother. I've always liked him and his whole family knows I do. They all said we would make a cute couple. The only problem is, he lives far away. But I still love him.

if you've known him and liked him for 8 years its time to find out and make a move or move on. I mean really 8 years!  I would guess that youve got to be in your 20's now to have had romantic feelings for a guy for that long. So go for it!

this is now of course if bruce lee was still alive and both of them were in peak physical condition....  :)

There is no competition there. Bruce Lee would demolish Steven seagal. We are talking about Bruce Lee...the guy who founded his own variety of martial arts compared to Steven?\nOn the upside I think that even Steven would be smart enough to walk away from that fight before it began.


I want to know the specifics of why Lupron shots aren't working for me. My doctor says it's prob b/c of the submucosal fibroids with lots of blood vessels. I have so many of them (20-30) and one large one and a few medium size ones. They cause so much pain and bleeding and I haven't stopped bleeding since Jan 24. I had a depo-provera shot on Jan 18, a Lupron shot Feb 8 and another March 9. I had my heavy period already after the 1st Lupron shot from March 1st-9th.  Before Jan, I would stop bleeding for a week to 10 days a month but now it just won't stop bleeding. My blood count in Jan was 8.2 but it's at least going up slowly with the Lurpon shots and taking 325mg of iron 3x/day and folic acid 3x/day. Two weeks ago my blood was up to 10.2. I had fibroids transvaginally removed 2 1/2 hrs ago already but prob didn't get them all out. So this time I'm having abdominal surgery as well as a hysteroscopy. I'm just waiting for my blood level to go up now.

Has your doctor sent you to a specialist?  Doctors are not omniscient and should be able to recognize when they've reached their limits.\n\nI will also point out that there are a couple more options available to you:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibroids#Treatment\n\nI had a similar (though not as bad) problem with fibroids. I had the uterine arterial embolization mentioned in the above article, and it worked outstandingly.  Since the UAE, I have only enough period to let me know the plumbing is still working. \n\nI did not have the HIFU treatment, but it sounds completely non-surgical and thus you wouldn't have to deal with the problems that other techniques have.\n\nWhen I was researching the UAE, I noticed from some support groups this trend:  women with a lot of small fibroids did better with UAE, while women with one large fibroid did better with myomectomy.  And when I say large, I mean a fibroid that is being talked about in terms of months, e.g. one fibroid that makes a person look three or five months pregnant.  The advantage that UAE has for the first group is that the UAE killed all of the fibroids no matter what size, whereas the myomectomy only addresses fibroids that can be seen.  \n\nHowever, at this point if I needed to be treated again, I would go with the HIFU first to see how that helped and then go with the UAE if HIFU didn't work.  I personally would not even let the Lupron near me - that essentially creates an artificial menopause.  \n\nNote that I'm not even mentioning hysterectomy.  I might have considered that if everything else failed, but it would have had to be a life-threatening, no other treatment had worked at all situation.\n\n\nIn the meantime, here's a couple more things I found:\n\nCholesterol is a precursor chemical to estrogen, and it is the estrogen that is causing the problems.  I recommend highly that you go on a cholesterol reducing lifestyle: \n1.  Minimize animal fats - especially sausages, bacon and (sadly) cheese.  I would not eliminate beef as it is high in dietary iron, which is absorbed more easily than supplements.\n2.  Eliminate ANY deep-fried foods.  Even foods fried in unsaturated fat has excess amounts of trans-fatty acids that cause LDL cholesterol.\n3.  Take niacin in a time-released multi-B formula.\n4.  Exercise as much as you can.\n5.  Iron - vitamin C increases absorption and calcium reduces absorption.  Add lemon or lime juice to steak and any other iron source you consume; if you are eating steak, don't have cheese or milk products, even if they are fat free.  Also, don't take a calcium supplement when you take your iron supplement, and do take a vitamin C supplement.\n\nGood luck, and I hope you get the treatment you need.


has something to do with chinese martial arts

A "Boxer" was a member of a secret society in China (The Righteous Harmonious Fists) that in 1900 tried to drive foreigners from the country and force Chinese Christians to renounce their religion. They were put down by an alliance of imperial powers including the United States and Great Britain.


Sometime I feel that he is coming on too strong and rushing the relationship like today is the end of the world.

Be Open and Honest with him, tell him how you feel..communication is essential in any type of relationship romantic or otherwise so talk to him and make him understand that you care but, that the two of you have all the time in the world and there is no need for rushing into anything. take your time and don't be pushed into anything that your not ready for. Follow your heart and instinct. Good Luck!


to search about care of the skin before an operation

Immediately before operating they will scrub your skin with a cleanser that will kill the bacteria and it is very harsh.  In the meantime try something for your skin every day.  It is always important to take care of your skin.  \n\nTry the Mary Kay skin care line with customized skin care products for acne etc. The best thing to with your skin is always to keep it clean as well as treating breakouts. This helps prevent breakouts and other issues. \n\nThere are five steps to basic skin care: \n1. Cleanse\n2. Exfoliate\n3. Tone/Freshen\n4. Moisturize\n5. Protect\n\nThe Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser can do the first three steps in one. The fifth step is protect. You want to use an oil free foundation which our formulas for dry normal combo and oily skin are all oil free. When your skin is protected with foundation you can wash off the impurities that your skin catches in the air. The foundation catches the irritants and impurities instead of them getting into your pores causing further breakouts. Mary Kay is satisfaction guaranteed. So if you try it and it doesnt work for you you can get different products or your money back. \n\nAlso it is so important that when you are using skin care you use one line be it Mary Kay or Avon or a Walmart brand. They are formulated to work with one another. Mixing products not designed to work together can cause reactions in some people. ;) \n\nTo even out skin tone you of course need to keep your skin exfoliated but also use a solution like our day and night solution. The day solution has SPF 25 in it and the Night Solution has Vitamin A and E and more in them. These collagen inducing products help to tighten and firm the skin as well as even out tone. You can add in our Microdermabrasion once or twice a week to totally exfoliate and remove dead skin. The second step of our microderm set will return your skin to its proper PH balance so you will not be rough or dry afterwards. \n\nI reccomend using products as follows but all skin care must be customized for an individual.\n\nTimewise 3 in 1 Cleanser (customized for skin type)\nTimewise Day Solution (at night use Night Solution)\nTimewise Moisturizer (customized for skin type)\nTimewise Firming Eye cream\nAdditional moisturizers if needed(intense for dry spots etc)\nFoundation (customized for skin type and shade) \nColor products (use all oil free and non-comedogenic)\n\nHope this was helpful!!\n\nMeganHill@MaryKay.com if you need anything else\nwww.MaryKay.com/MeganHill to check out the line\n\nMegan


Some argues that today's executives get paid too much. However, they get pay for their performance. Moreover, they bear more risks and responsibilities than other employees. Therefore, their pay isn't too excessive.

I've worked directly with CEO's of a number of firms and, in my personal opinion, an executive's compensation is not too exessive (obviously, there will be exceptions).\n\nA typical CEO (if my experience is typical) spends most of his waking hours "on the job."  Not only does he/she work at the office, but must attend social events, serve in various positions in community, entertain clients, travel, etc.  The CEO's that I worked with had very little family life and, even when they were with family, were frequently on the phone dealing with business matters.  This is on top of the added risks and responsibilities of the position as well as the increasing liability for things that happen within his business.  Most individuals are not willing to put out what it takes to be a CEO, even if they do have the business skills (I know I wasn't).  Therefore, I believe the compensation of most CEO's is fully appropriate.


I have made many services for my network including email, webhosting, polls, news, classifides, chat, serch, video and more. I am wondering what the average person thinks of my services. My websites are www.clamwave.com and www.navobravo.com. Can someone please tell me what they think.\n\nThanks

I like the visual presentation of NavoBravo but Clamwave looks very primitive - as if it was just cobbled together with one of those "instant webpage" programs that are handed out as bundled software.\n\nBoth pages look as if they are still at the "empty shell" stage awaiting more content.


I mean seriously it gives all collegiate and High School wrestlers a bad name. Wrestling is one of the toughest sports out there and one of the oldest, and we can't even get our own catagory under sports.  I mean theres darts and curling for godsake.  I think even if there was a "wrestling" catagory it would be instantly filled up with all the fake s*** on TV.  White trash talkin about their video games and Suplexs, instead of true takedowns and competition.  I dont know about you, but I find this very depressing.  I know now that not being recognized is all part of a wrestler's life, but I hope in the future that will change...Do you feel the same way?

I hate WWE. I'm a high school wrestler and it's one of my few passions in life. I will say that WWE wrestlers are in amazing shape and I think they were all actual wrestlers at one time or another. But it still needs to burn in hell. And will somebody please slap each and every one of these kids that calls real wrestling "gay"? They have no clue how hard this sport is and how much training it requires. I'd like to see them go 3 full periods on the mat. They wouldn't be able to walk off because it's that greuling. Fu*k WWE


so i am like 15 and i was in class one day and these this girl that sits in front of me turns around and says "i know who likes you" so i was like "who" and she said it was these two girls who i have never talked to in my life ok so i am like whatever, so the next day this girl that sits next to me in another class gives me a note and it is from one of these girls and it says that i should stop telling people they like me, i was all like WTF\n\ni dont like either of the girls at all so wut should i do??

tell the girls that you have nuthing to do with the whole thing and want no part of it. tell it to them straight and make it snappy.


it is a question for an essay i have to write and i need some ideas. thanks for the help nubs.

World War was was inevitable. If it wasn't started by the assassination, it would've been started by something else.\n\nHowever, Germany should not assume the blame. The Brits, Russians, French, and Austrians are just as much at fault.


As far as bloodsugar management, if you had to have a C-section, how the baby affected your control? We are ready to have kids, but I've been a Type I diabetic for almost 20 years (I'm 26 now) and frankly, I'm terrified something will go wrong. \n\nMy blood sugar has not always been in the best control and I take medicine to prevent high blood pressure so my kidneys are not damaged.

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 24 years now and i have 2 teenage kids, both healthy and happy. i had c-sections with both of them.My blood sugar levels were terrible when I got pregnant but with 3 hourly monitoring and weekly scans after 32 weeks to make sure the baby wasn;t getting to big, I had a healthy boy. I got alot of support from my diabetic specialist and obstetrician. I had to have an amnio at 18 weeks but no problems. Your sugar levels go up a bit after the birth for a few days but settle down again as your body recovers feel free to ask me anything there really is nothing to be scared of!!!

The Virginia DOC released this person with no current ID which is kind of ridiculous. They say they want their transition to be seamless but now she has to figure out how to get an ID. I told her to send off for a copy of her birth certificate which might be a good start. Anybody have some good suggestions out there?

Maybe if she checks with her local Job Center, they might have some tips for how she can get all she needs to get a job. They have connections that we could look for and never find. Also, she can call her local Social Services and see if they have anyone that handles these kinds of situations. Having a birth certificate is a good start, because she won't be able to even enter a tech school without one. It's unfortunate that she waited for six years before doing something constructive towards her future. I'm sure she's found that she can't get anywhere without an ID or birth certificate. By now, she could have been done with schooling, and working at a decent job. That's really the best thing someone with a record can do with their lives...going back to school. It often shows a future employer that they've done something constructive with their life as soon as they were released, and gives them a better chance at success. Hope all works out for her. <*)))><


Lands' End's web sales actually surpassed its catalogue sales. How does Lands' End account for this boom?\n\nI don't get what this question is asking me. Especially on the part "account for this boom", what does that actually means? Help!!

"account for this boom" means "explain this jump in sales".


The typical parent of a teenager today grew up in the 70s during a time of growing distrust in government, authority, and "the establishment".  Are these values being passed on to their children?  If the role of parents is shifting is that a good or bad thing? Explain.

I think the fact that we have more YOUNG parents (teenage mothers and fathers) is what is causing our children to be parented by "friends" more so than traditional parents.  These kids having kids are not old enough or mature enough or have enough experience to understand what being a parent truly IS about.  My mother was 24 when she had me.. she made a few mistakes and for a time tried the friend route - then realized I had plenty of friends and needed a mom.. and I am better for it.  I think parents need to have open communication and honest dialogue with their kids - which I THINK is the goal of these "friend/parents" but they can't forget that the primary role is that of a parent.


i mean no rubbish here...please understand

Yes - they are really hit and they do get off on it in the consensual films done in America by big labels. The European stuff is another matter - it may not be consensual and they may not be enjoying it. In the legitimate films, the submissive is actually in control and can stop the action at any time by using her "safe word", a previously agreed upon word that stops everything until she is ready to continue or indefinitely. It is a relationship of ultimate trust, respect and communication.


I am pregnant, and my Dr. said that I have Chlamydia.  My husband has been gone for 5 months to Iraq; I haven't had any sexual contact with anyone, no kissing, nothing.My husband does not have it. How did I get this disease?  Is it possible the Dr is wrong?  Are there other diseases that cause the Chlamydia test to be postive?

dr has to be wrong cause the only way to get it is thru sex and anything that has to do with sex


I would guess that it appears to be in Taglish, a unique blend of English and Tagalog as used by Filipinos in informal circumstances.\n\n"Away" is English "away".\n\n"sa" means "at/in/on/by (etc)" (in this context, I would guess "at")\n\n"bf." being as mentioned by others, boyfriend,\n\n"peste" (unsure, possibly the English word pest; apologies as my Tagalog is far from perfect)\n\n"lang" meaning "just, only, (etc)"\n\nSo I would guess as a very rough translation (due to inability to completely translate all): "just away at my pest boyfriend['s house?]".\n____________\n\nTyping later: Further to the above, I have just had a conversation regarding this, with a bilingual Tagalog/English speaker. In the above: "away sa bf. peste lang." It actually means:\n\nAway - English word away, used as an imperative verb\nsa - sa has many meanings in Tagalog - one I overlooked was "from"\nbf. - boyfriend\npeste - a type of beetle/insect, or a slang term to describe a creep\nlang - just, only\n\nSo, it would actually translate as:\n\nJust away from your creep boyfriend, or in better English:\n\nJUST LEAVE YOUR CREEP BOYFRIEND\n\nWhat really threw me first time I tried to translate it was the word "away" being used as an imperative verb.\n\nHope this helps!

No. Wave dispersion separates frequencies. The Doppler effect is caused by motion towards or away from a source, altering the perceived frequency.


How does it make you feel to be overweight?  How many diets have you been on?  When you walk into a store or any public place, is your weight usually always on your mind? Does it ever physically hurt to be overweight? What about Mentally? \n\nSpill your heart out..tell me how it is.

Hey since this is for an English paper then I guess I can spill my heart out.  Being overweight makes me feel unimportant, undesirable, unattractive, unintelligent, unappreciated among other things.  I have been on only 3 or 4 diets.  But I've given up because nothing seems to work.  I hear about other diets from friends and other people. I am thinking about my weight 50% of the time.  While it is mentally painful sometimes it is physically pain also.  My friend her knees hurt because she has a lot of weight on them.  My back hurts a lot and it's hard for me to stand still in one place for a length of time.  I have to be standing against something.  The only reason I feel I can say that I only think about my weight 50% of the time is because I'm married and my husband makes me feel desirable and attractive and like I'm perfect the way I am.  So inside of my home I feel safe but outside, it's very hard.  My self-esteem probably drops- as a matter of fact I'm positive it does.  Hope I helped a little bit.


Do girls like giving or receiving oral? and if so what are some good tips for a guy that likes to give to girls?

A recent survey (which I can't find as a reference!!) suggested that:\n - most women thoroughly enjoyed receiving oral stimulation (cunnilingus);\n - only 25% of women enjoyed providing oral stimulation (fellatio).

I'm planning to have surgery in 2 weeks.  Have had tendonitis for 3+ years.  A little scared.  Any good or bad experience with this surgery??

There is around a 70% chance of significant improvement after therapy, so as long as you have tried everything else and cannot live with it, it is an OK option.


why is there so many organisms in the world? and how do they impact on each other?

Organisms continually evolve by growth and division.  Thus, species continue to be created or lost due to new genetic mutation or loss of all members of that species.  Since the world is 4.6 billion years old, and life came into being 3-4 billion years ago, it's not surprising that there are so many life forms available, it's a matter of time and the presence of ecological niches.  The study of organisms impact on each other and their interaction with the environment is called ecology and it's a large field of study.  Organisms interact usually in a food web; for example algae need light and CO2 to grow, while plankton feed on algae.  Small fish feed on plankton, and large fish feed on small fish.  This is a prototypical example.

He has 10 years of OTR experience and can travel anywhere.

FEMA itself probably doesn't drive the trucks - they probably hire contractors which could be any of the trucking companies.  Maybe FEMA has a website that has a list of the companies they contracted with... You can also write to them (e-mail to their website ok) for a list of the trucking companies - tell them you are asking under the Freedom of Information Act and as long as you're not asking for proprietary/business sensitive info, they'll have to give you a list... Then start calling these companies, sending inquiries & resumes.  Good luck


about ten days ago i missed three of my birth control pills and about a week ago resumed taking them i started bleeding on wednesday last week and i am still bleeding why/is this normal.

Check the instructions and side effects for missing pills in your birth control packet. You should also consult your doctor, or if he is unavailable by night, go to the nearest drug store and ask a pharpacist. Bleeding is sometimes normal but if you are insecure about it, visit your doctor first thing in the morning. For online info, do some google searches. But visit your doctor. After getting things back to normal, never ever forget to take your pill at the scheduled time. If possible set an alarm clock in your watch or cel phone at an hour that is best for you to take the pill. The best way these pills work is by following a strict discipline. \nHope everything turns out well


11 weeks pregnant and get sick 2 or 3 times an afternoon plus every morning.

Try those bands you get at the drug store. It's a band that uses pressure point to help with nausea. It may help, or may not..there's no harm in trying. I used it all the time when I was pregnant. Also, when I was  pregnant I get nauseated when I get hungry so I always prevent it by having crackers or other things to eat at all times. Eat small meals frequently.\n\nI hope your morning sickness goes away. Some women have it all the 9 months of pregnancy and some have it for a short time. Some never have it at all. I hope you're one of the lucky ones.

i like this boy name jarree but he dosen't well he knows it but don't comment about it this happened ever since last year and still happening any suggestions without making me look like a fool.

He is either shy or not interested in you, but don't want to hurt your feelings why he dosen't comment. If he is someone you talk with  daily and in private, you can confront him then. If he is someone you don't really socialize with and he is in the "cool crowd" as they call it he might embarass you in the end. \nI don't know him, but you do. Ask your self what type of person he is, an embarassing one, or one who cares about others feelings, you can easily decide how you want to approach. Make sure you confront him, don't let a few years pass and you are left wondering what might have happen if you had ask him how he feels about you.


I think this site could be better in it's choice of questions allowed to be posted,don't you?

I completely agree. I saw a lot of derogatory language on here this morning and I was just appalled.


lik how do i set the page it self up not the format just the beginning page on which i start actually telling about the issue

because he hadn't finished slaughtering the innocent inhabitants of the promised land and needed more daylight to complete the job.(Because in those days they thought the Earth was like a breadboard and the sun was like an orange that went underneath it at night) Why did God not say to Joshua ' I won't stop the sun, but I will stop the Earth from rotating on its axis for you my son'. (seeing that God created the solar system and should have been aware of the system he put in place to cause day and night) But no, He stopped the sun which would not have lengthened the day at all.

You can find this passage in Joshua 10 : 12,13.\n\nAs you rightly stated, it was JOSHUA who asked God to stop the sun and the moon. Note that the sun "stood still" and the moon "stayed".  It could well be that Joshua was speaking JUST like we do today when we say that the sun "rises in the East and sets in the West" even though WE KNOW that the SUN does nothing of the sort!!!\n\nNow, let me make it quite clear the I have never read the Bible and neither have the majority of Christians; what we have read are various TRANSLATIONS of the Bible (because most of us cannot read Hebrew, Aramaic and ancient Greek). Hebrew scholars say that the expression "stand still" as used here means "stop acting". Scientifically, what causes the earth to spin on its axis resulting in day and night?  If the GRAVITY that the sun AND the moon exert on the earth were to DECREASE OR STOP ACTING OR STAND STILL, wouldn't that lenghten the day?


I am drinking water, but I find that if I cut out Diet Soda and Crystal light, I will not drink ANYTHING?

all sodas are bad for you even diet.i stopped drinking them 13yrs ago.the doc told my husband to stop drinking them and if he could not ,he said to drink fresca, no fat\nlow sodium\nno carbs. water is the best to drink when you are trying to lose weight GOOD LUCK!


WIll he be kicked out or will he receive hate mail Tell me

Either of your fears can come true, but I believe it is not the question, but the manner you ask it which makes it disagreeable.  I would suggest you to apply this question  to your question--Would it hurt anybody?  If your answer is yes, rephrase the question, and apply my question again.  If you are unsuccessful in rephrasing it appropriately, send the question to me at aseem.kumar@yahoo.co.in, and I will try getting/giving you an answer.\n\nYou might also try putting a disclaimer with an advance apology with your question.\n\nI would encourage you not to keep the question to yourself, but discuss it as appropriately as you can.


this has been going on for two days and the doc wants me to wait til tomorrow so i can she him should i bring her to the hospital or wait for tomorrow

When was the last time she ate?  You can wait until tomorrow if she is taking fluids and she doesn't have vomiting or diarrhea and her fever doesn't go above 103.0. Fever is not an illness. Far from being an enemy, it is an important part of the body's defense against infection. Many infants and children develop high fevers with minor viral illnesses. While a fever signals to us that a battle might be going on in the body, the fever is fighting FOR the person, not against.  Be sure to give her a lot of fluids and don't over dress her.  If she does have vomiting or diarrhea or she can't keep liquids down then I would take her to the ER.  Good luck.

i am doing a literature scavenger hunt and i need to find literary terms, does anyone know a website?

just try googling the words "literary terminology"


I really need help I am getting worse into my depression, and he just keeps messing with me to make me cry yet i will still hope for his love. basicly i have no pride left whatsoever. I cant think of ever being with anyone else and i woke up today having horrible thoughts. my anxiety made me difficult during our four years but he loved me despite all that and its not like he was perfect. now hes out of town working and he wont talk to me at all with no warning and he wants me to hurt hes making cry through ims and texts wtf? I thought he at least loved me enough to not want me to hurt anymore than i already am. what is wrong with men and should i try to hurt him back this is all bs im going crazy

Aww. I went thru this over the summer break last year. And I'm telling you, fr. female to female, the best thing I did was leave him, and in this case that's what I think you should do. Im not even going to lie, it took alot out of me to leave him! Just like your dude he made me feel bad and yet still I gave him chance after chance cause I thought that he would change and that it was just a phase... Unfortunately, it was'nt a phase, this was the real him. A rough, heartless, mean person that put others down to make him feel better. That's not even the worst of it! I thought he was the one for me SOOO much that I went against my family, ALL FOR HIM! My family turned against me cause they wanted me to not be with him so bad! Back then I didnt understand why they kept on acting like that but now I see. They were just looking out for me. And even though I dont know you, I, looking out for you too because I know how it feels to be where your at right now. It feels as if the whole world has turned against you. And that he's the only one who loves you. (Or at least thats how it felt to me!) Thats not true, after you leave him your eyes will be open again and you'll be able to see who really loves you and those are the people that tried to warn you about him. The best thing you can do is leave him. When I left my boy, at the time I felt like I had made a HUGE mistake, but after I start realizing all the other people in life that is there for me and that have my back thru thick & thin, there was really no point for him being in my life. Boys can only give you so much joy for so little time, but what will you do when that joy turns into pain? Or when he leaves you? Your back to the depressed you again? That's not how it's suppose to be. NEVER let a dude determine how your day is going to be or how you look at the world! You should never even look for happiness in boys, this is kinda old school but, the true happiness lies within yourself. If you feel good about yourself, you wont care what NO ONE thinks about you. See how much you can gain if you leave him? Dont worry ok? The right one for you will come along ok? Dont ever let a dude make you question how much your worth! Im sure your a very sweet person that's just feel into one of the traps that most fall into. It's not your fault. But listen, the best part of breaking up with him is the fact that he WILL want you back! That's what happened to me and he STILL is asking for another chance and what do you think I said? NO! Once he breaks your heart he'll always find another way to do so, so why go thru it? Yeah it makes you stronger but other than that its just causing you great pain. I hope a lesson from my experiences help you! Just remember to stay strong!


why do people keep "fighting" about this?\nNo matter if you are muslim, jew or christian, I truly believe there is olny ONE GOD.

Hindus have a great look at this, they too believe that everyone is worshiping the same thing- the Ultimate Reality. You can call it anything you want, and get there however you want to, but it's all the same thing. As long as you have true devotion in your beliefs, they believe that you're good to go! \n\nI'm with you though. It makes me sad that people just can't get along, especially the Abrahamic religions you mention. It is the same God y'all, how bout we all act nice and get to him how we're supposed to?


Absolutely not. The tests aren't timed and the questions are not challenging enough, you should try the High IQ society...\nhttp://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/\nThese tests are the most accurate online IQ tests available.


Potential energy due to gravity is equal to mass x height x gravity.  So, 2000kg x 16m x 9.8m/s^2= 313600 kg m^2/s^2.  Since 1 kg m/s^2 = 1N and 1J = 1N m, the potential energy at the end of the lift, and so the energy required to lift it is 313600J or 313.6kJ.


political parties, definition of political parties, part,kinds and

Wikipedia is a good place to start - under the government entry for each country you should be able to find a list of the majoar parties in that country.  Then some googling should give you some info on each of them.


I mean the number 1 (one) looks the same whether you print it in English, Hebrew, German, Spansih, and who knows how many more.  But the letter 'A' is only used in a few languages, and in some languages letters form the English alphabet don't exist at all, but they still use the same numbers.

For your information, the characters used for representing numbers 0 -9 are different in different languages. Try indian languages- Hindi- telugu- any language in india has its own characters. It can be so in many languages. You see English and German using same characters because both use same script. You should probably be asking why all languages have same 10 - base system Thats a good question - and thats because sometime in history people of the world got some sense and decided to use 0 -9 as the basic numbers. Its like seeing people wear pants shirt, belt- using table, chair pen, dining table etc. where ever you go in the world - be it communist China or USA or Cuba or newzealand


i think that you have more than one bible.so do you believe every word in them.

Forgive me for asking this, as it was mainly for "THE CHRISTIANS" You all do know it was writen by jews, right?


A lot.  Especially if they're just text.  If each email were around 4 kilobytes (which would be like six long-ish paragraphs) then it'd take 262144 emails to make a gigabyte of emails.  Attatchments will change that, though.  It'd take 4096 256 kb images, or 256 4 mb music files to fill up a gb.


I need stories, I know someone out there most have one.i`m not looking for those already on web,I want to email,one on one with you.This is for a book already in progress.Thank you....

Hi\nI am very interested in your research.  I also do research with the Texas Bigfoot Research Center and have done some field research in the pacific northwest and upstate newyork and would like to talk with you


i'm a  ballet dancer and back in november i think i was stretching and  it hurt my leg to stretch too much. well it's now march and it still hurts..any ideas on what to do or what could have happened?  it's inner//upper thigh..

A common injury especially if you had just came back after a break and went all gusto.\n\nThe best thing would have been to ice it the first day and take an anti-inflammatory right away.  Now all you can do is not aggravate it.  Leave it alone and baby it.  It may take awhile, stretch gentle and don't throw the leg for awhile.\n\nUse a roller to roll out your IT band, in other words roll out your outer thigh.  This will help your inner thigh because it will help relax your inner thigh.  They are all connected

What is it shared with ? why is it shared ? is it another way to make something sound good like a celeron ?

shared means that some of your system ram is being used by your video card. how much ram is being shared is depending on your video card. (ie.32mb,64,mb and so on)

he hasnt hit me nemore since then! i had bruises where he hit me b4! see im a little older than him. my sister hooked us up. its her ex boyfriend that im seeing.... but i cant stop seein him i love him! i no he use to hit me but i dont care. he punched me in the chest one day and i had a big ole bruise. i dont care how many times he hits me i always go back to him cause I LOVE HIM. my mom dont like him but i dont care what she likes! we will b together 4 awhile. we started seeing each other in september he went to a home in december and gets out in march or april. i love hime with all my heart! i just need sum advice?

Girl! I am going to tell you the truth because I am worried and I don't want anything to happen to you. You are a weak women because you let this man hurt you. Yeah, he doesn't do now but he will. I know because my aunt went through the same thing. She told my uncle who she loves more than anything to stay out of it. One day my aunt husband was waiting at my grandma's door because my aunt wanted to see her mom. My mom was there too and she knew that her sister might not come back because he was mad for some reason. My grandaddy had a knife but my grandma told him to put it down. that was when my uncle went outside and he punch my aunts husband in the face. Then he got on top of him and was choking him to near death screaming "You made my sister hate me!" Then my grandma came up behind my uncle and took a broom and knocked him off of my aunt's husband. Then she told my aunt's husband to run and don't look back because my uncle would have killed him. The police had arrested my aunt's husband and we never saw or heard from him again. This is something you don't want to go through but it will happen if you stay with this man. This story is not to scare you but it has a message. This is a true story and I hope you don't go through what my aunt had to go through.


Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?\n\nHow true..How scary!!

I found many people suggest http://www.bobbrinker.com/ for investment advice. What is the reason? Is there a list of such websites, similar to this one? Is there a ranking of this kind of websites?\n\nBy the way, are all of them paid services? Does anyone give out free information, such as, time to sell/buy large-cap vs small-cap?

bob's site has alot of free resources but he also has a monthly newsletter for 185 for a year subscription.  That gives specific investment advice.  Also www.bankrate.com has alot of good resources.  Msn yahoo both have good have good money people who write on their page check them out too.\n\nBob Brinker will send you a free copy of his newsletter (i just got it)  He gives his picks on funds and tells when to buy and sell things in it.

I don't want to come on too strong, or turn into a stalker...how do I build a long lasting strong relationship with out over doing it?


In the latest count 53% of registered voters are female! In all elected offices the amount of female govonors, congresswomen, and any other office Males run the show! What are the reasons for this? Do women by their action believe that they can not do the job as well as males? The whole political landscape could change over night if they voted as a block to see that they get their due! Some times I think that 25,000 years ago they were the givers of life and held a higher status in society. Perhaps men became afraid and wrote the Bible, Torah, Koran etc. and all the stories are writen by the male. Was that a sure way to keep them in their place. When it comes down to a women right, how in the world did males get in the position of deciding what is best for them? I would figure that they have enough smarts to figure it out for them selves. But I been wrong so many times before maybe I'm wrong again! So would some one please set me straight I just can't figure this one out on my own.....

As a general rule, women don't tend to feel the need for power like men do. I would welcome more women in politics. I noticed you mentioned the Bible here. There are a few good books that were edited out of the King James version, the most notable being the Gospel of Mary. Again, it was a male power issue. Mary was the disciple Jesus loved best of all. After the departure of Jesus, within the text, in Mary has been placed the authority of the church. That was unacceptable to the alpha-male dominated church. \n\nIt wasn't until 1920 that women even got the right to vote with AMENDMENT XIX to the Constitution. That gave them 150 years of male dominated government to overcome. It wasn't until the 1990s that the got the right to fight to defend their country.\n\nAfter being repressed for so many years, women need to rise up and fight. But keep in mind, issues are more important than party or sex, at least to most THINKING people.\n\nJust as an aside: There was a story on Good Morning America this morning about the first female Blue Angel pilot. They said they chose her based on her ability and not her sex. This bodes well...


I'm sick of my taxes going up everytime they raise welfare and disability benifits. Why should anyone even be on welfare to begin with? Shouldn't we all have to work for our keep?

You bet your shotass, Paula! I hear you and feel your pain! We have been over taxed and abused by the Empire State for years. Serious welfare reform is needed. Gov. Pataki started the workfare program, but more needs to be done. There are some people that can't work, and should be given assistance, but all able bodied and capable persons should indeed earn their keep!\nPS - Don't listen to the liberal drivel from those pinheads above. It's liberals like them that have allowed the welfare in NYS to get out of control the way is now. Get off your high horses, pinheads. Your programs are the reasons people write things like this, you self righteous windbags! Have a nice day!


just what the questions says...what makes a straw work?  does it have to do with creating a vacuum or something like that?

When you suck the air out of the straw, the drink in the glass is pushed up\nthe straw by the air that is still sitting on top of the drink in the glass.\nIf you poke a hole in the straw above the liquid, the straw will not work\nbecause you will be sucking air in through the hole. \n\nThere is pressure on everything exerted by our\natmosphere.  The pressure is over the person , the\nfluid level in the glass and the fluid level within\nthe straw.\n\nThe straw works because we use our mouth to reduce the\npressure over the fluid inside the straw.  The\npressure over the rest of the liquid in the glass\ncontinues to be exerted and, because it is higher than\nthe pressure over the liquid inside the straw, the net\neffect is for the liquid to be forced from the area of\nhigher pressure to the area of lower pressure.


I am living in anxiety. It's like i cannot already recognize most of the things around me. They appear alien or new to me. I think i am beyond help, too. I am frightened of the past and the future. The sad thing is that I also cannot die because i don't want my family to be balme themselves.\n\nEveryone around is just so happy because i just graduated and they are excited for my career. But they have no idea what's going on with myself. I just want to find out if i'm the only one experiencing this.

I went through that not long ago. I found myself praying for death. I came home from church one Sunday all ready to end my life. "Thou shalt not kill" came to my mind. I cried for two weeks because God told me that He did not want me to end my life. My doctor tried to put me on anti depression and anxity meds. The problem is that doctors just do not have the training in meds to know what meds you need for your chemical imbalance. \nAsk your doctor, friends, and family members if they know of a mental health worker/social worker/counselor, or whoever, that they would reccomend. You may be surprised at the relatives and friends who have delt with depression. Even you counselor at school can help you. You must also find a good psychrist who knows how to mix meds to meet your needs. You may have to go to a clinic that deals with depression only. You must find a good psychrist. Search, search, and search some more until you find the professionals and meds for you. If you want to talk, answer one of my q&a's, you do not have to respond to my question, just let me know if you want to talk. I do have some college and life education that may help you.

When I click on Internet Explorer, instead of my homepage saying Yahoo!, it's taking me to "Security Center" where the site informs me that spyware has been detected and I need to visit and purchase one of the advertised software.  I have scanned my computer with Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Yahoo! Anti-Virus/Anti-spy but with no luck.  I am able, for now, to go to other sites via the address window.

I would recommend using TrendMicro's (formerly SpySubtract) Anti-Spyware.  You can download a trial version here:\n\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/download/trial/trial-as.asp\n\nI used to use Spybot, Yahoo Anti-Virus, Ad-Aware,... you name it, I tried it.  Anyway, TrendMicro's product worked for me!!


As a full figured woman I have always been disappointed that yahoo avatars only offer one body type.  I am now pregnant and I don't feel like the avatars represent a healthy body image for girls and guys who may not be a size 2.  With all the concerns over our young populations' body image, don't you think EVERYONE should be represented?

Yes!!! i've thought about that before you said something! i totally argee though!! you have the best ideas!!!!!!!!

i just got a laptop and i want to supplement the hardrive,pls can someone tell me the fastest external hard drive in the market and where to get it for cheap.

USB hard drives are the most convenient, but Firewire is faster and slightly more expensive.  Check out manufacturers like www.iomega.com, www.woverine.com, www.pocketec.com.  www.lacie.com, etc.  Tiger Direct and Priority Electronics have competitive prices.  The price is also dependent upon capacity, as larger means more expensive.


I need to sync Excell; Outlook; Office and other files

Microsoft purchased, FolderShare, Inc. in November 04, 2005.  They have remote access and synchronization software.  I tried to use it last year and had some issues, but I suspect over time that they will fix the problems?  It is currently being offered free of charge.


My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 1/2 years.  We both work and we both go to college.  On the weekends we usually have nothing to do, so we end up going out to the bar or something (drinking is starting to get pretty old).  I am just trying to come up with some new ideas of things to do...besides the obvious.  please help!  = ]

depends on how snobby and self conscious you both are.  there are tons of things to do near college campuses on weekend nights, like awful but earnest student theater, women's basketball games, and coffee shop open mic nights.  get on the web and look up less-popular stuff that is still wicked fun.  \n\nif either of you thinks you're too good to do such things, well, you might as well ask the bartender for another $6 Budweiser so you can keep up appearances.

Florida is nice because the taxes are low.  No state income tax.  But property prices are high right now.


I hope he breaks his neck before he breaks any baseball records. Maybe he should be thrown out of baseball for doing steroids. Think about it... if you did drugs in the workplace, would you be fired??? I don't think that any player of any game that gets the saleries that the likes of Bonds gets should be able to compete for any records if they are on any performance enhancing drugs.


kindly refer to the formula..and do you math HW yourself...\nApart from that if Diameter=8 cm...radius got to be 4cm\n\nI dont know the Surface area formula for cone but should be easy to find it somewhere like google.


How often do you think about ... (Begins with an S, middle letter E, ends with an X) You figure it out!

All the time it normal to think about sex.


Like what do I need to buy to play the game?

I recommend going to a local pro shop and working with someone to find an appropriate racquet to match your physical characteristics and skill level.  You can often "demo" (try out) a few different frames at a time, allowing you to get a feel for the different technologies and vendors.\nSecond, enroll in a group lesson at a local tennis facility.  This is a low-cost way to be properly introduced to the game.  I highly discourage starting to play without getting professional instruction.  You will naturally develop bad habits that are nearly impossible to break once established.


Well it looks like your off to a good start. Ebay is an excellent way to sell things. Good luck!


Since Bonds violated no baseball policies on steroids and has never failed a steroids test since their inception in the league, baseball can not and should not take action against him.  Frankly, it is baseball that is ultimately to blame for Bonds' flagrant use of them.  If the league had a reputable commissioner instead of an owners' "yes" man, this would have likely been a dead issue 10 years ago.\n\nHowever, Bonds will not escape punishment--at least in the court of public opinion.  This poor excuse for a competitor pumped his body full of every kind of performance-enhancing drug available, all the while claiming he would never do such a thing.  His outright lies will  (I hope) convince baseball fans that he is not worthy of our praise or attention, let alone induction into the Hall.  I cannot imagine sportswriters, who Bonds has ignored, berated, and lied to, ever voting him in.


I'm trying to calculate an approximate amount for an optional electrical service (see below) that uses on peak demand.  However, I don't know how to calculate or estimate the KW.  I took a meter reading before before I consumed the maximum amount of electricity in 1 hour, and a meter reading following.  In that 1 hour I used 8, which I assume is 8 kWh.  But how do I determine the KW?\n\nCustomer Charge $7.98\n                             Summer Rate (1) Winter Rate (2)\nDemand Charge per KW of billing demand: $8.87        $4.74\nEnergy Charge for all kWh used during:\nOn-peak periods (3) 4.699 cents per kWh 2.998 cents per kWh\nOff-peak periods (3) 2.172 cents per kWh 2.172 cents per kWh\n\nBilling Demand:\nThe billing demand for each month shall be the highest rate of use of energy during any 60 consecutive minutes occurring in an on-peak period in such month.\n\nAs you can see the billing demand KW is the most costly and I don't know how to calculate or estimate it.  Can you help?

8 Kilowatt-Hours mean you used an average of 8 KW for 1 hour.

I have a question on race discrimination. I feel everyone should be treated equal in this world, but in a lot of cases that doesn’t happen. This is my situation me and this person got into an argument. A week later me and the person had to appear in court. The court decided that both me and him would do community service. We both was assigned to do 40 hours. I was shocked to hear that they had dropped his community services hours. I would say that he did about 5-6 hours of community service, before they dropped his hours. I don’t see that as right when they tell me I have to be at community service or they will put me in jail. I’m really tired of this town always discriminating on me. I would never think that a court house would do that. I don’t see why he doesn’t have to do his hours. And why they don’t tell him he will go to jail, if he doesn’t do it. We are both equal and should be treated equal.  Would I be able to sue them for discrimination? How would I go about doing tha

I would find an attorney and go into more detail about what you wrote and see what his/her advice might be.


An apostate would be someone who truly knew God. Someone who, through study and worship, came to a level of knowing God that is above that of an infant. Someone who had become very set and passionate in their faith. An apostate, for some reason, decides to turn away from God. Someone who has never known God cannot be an apostate. Because the meaning of it is to know God, yet to willfully turn away from Him (or as some call it, backslide). An apostate will likely never enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because of the sheer wickedness and hatred it would take for a true believer to willfully turn away from the one whom they KNOW to be their Lord and Savior. This is basically what would be called Blasphemy...knowing God, and having His Holy Spirit within you, and yet choosing to turn away.\n\nNote that there is a road to becoming an apostate. Typically one would not just wake up one day and be one. Rather they take a journey, a downword spiral, away from their faith, and end up in the pits of apostacy. But once they land there, it is irreversable. The word should not be used lightly, therefore.

I am working on a Rube Goldberg project, and I need to hit a light switch. I have a few ideas, but none really seem to work; they seem too unreal.

a normal toggle switch?  will you be going up on it or down?  going down may be simpler with a lever.  (roll a ball down the lever to make it swing down, hitting the switch) \n\nJust a thought!  good luck!

Movies are a totally lame date.  You sit in a dark room in silence and pay no attention to each other.  Take her to something fun that you were going to do anyway.  That way 1) you have fun no matter what 2)she gets to see what you like to do for fun and 3) you don't have to deal with the awkwardness around whether or ot you're buying her ticket.


Why would a boy who's 16, who I took into my home for 16 months...fought for him...gave him everything..took care of him as my own...we got along GREAT....suddenly turn back to his old ways???  Drugs...ran away...broke into my house.  Are teens that ungrateful.  Are some kids really incorrigable (sp)?

Kids who do drugs no matter if foster children or children adotped or children born into your home,  are addicted, often with some of the new drugs addited after the first use.\n\nAfter they are hooked on the drugs, that is all that matters, getting that fun high.  And pleasing thier drug friends and paying for the drugs.\n\nSo they will start by stealing from where they know money or valuable things are, at home.  Money from moms purse, the hidden vactatoin money and so on.\n\nHe was just acting like any 16 who is hooked on drugs, being a foster child had little to do with it.

just curious cuz there have been plenty of intermediate forms(monkey<-->human) fossils found..

You may be interested in this site: it lists the many fossil homonids.\n\nSome of the more famous fossil homonids include the Taung child, Turkana boy, Chellean man, Heidelberg man, and of course Lucy.  The site provided gives information on these and many other fossil homonids.  It also has interesting rebuttals to creationist arguments that these fossils are false, made-up, non-human, not as old as they seem they are, etc.  Definitely worth the read if you're interested in this topic...\n\nhttp://www.snowcrest.net/goehring/a2/primates/fossils.htm#args_piltdown\n\nIt is also good to remember that not all homonid fossils are "human ancestors", the Homo genus "family tree" has many branches.  There's a good article on Wikipedia explaining this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution\n\nHope this is helpful :-)

If it hurts it is not dead. You probably have a bad blood clot in it. Go to the doctor and get it lanced to releave the pressure.


There is a song that many comedians use when they stereotype Asians, though this might not help it would go something like:\n\nDu ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ... Gong!

You know, I know which one you're talking about. I think the first instance of it (that I'm aware of) is "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors.


does anyone know how to edit the look of it? (change the background, add music those kinda things)

Yeah it's easy but you need to know a little html to do so. Just add the html code in any of the text fields when you edit your profile. If you're unfamiliar with html I could help just send me a message.


I may even have this wrong, but it's something like booya, and hooya... so please correct me if I'm spacing out way in the left field.

"Booya" is a celabratory term.  Means "We won".\n\nHooya?  I think you mean "huwah", or "huah", or "Hu-rah" as pronounced in Jarhead and other movies.  This means anything but "no".  It's a catch-all phrase we use to simply say "yes", "great job", "cool", etc.  \n\nIt also answers tactical questions in the affirmative posed to the soldiers such as "would you like an MLRS with your Battalion-6 (Field Artillery employment)", "I know you just wanted a machine gun to suppress that strongpoint, but will this tank company I found do?", or the ever popular "The F-16 had to leave, but 2 B-52s said they can drop JDAMS.  Is that ok with you?"


I travel frequently to the Middle East and I'm at loss as to what to say, not to mention the Guantanamo Bay prisoners, since when did we not learn from our mistakes that the ends do not justify the means? we're powerful enough to reach our goals without bending our rules? I hope i'm not the only one seeing this.

No. I am seeing Saturday moring cartoon show of Abu Graib tortures as well as action figures of CIA/OGA and Navy SEALS ordering the abuse while GI JOES and GI JANES carry it out. \n\nWe can even make these victims into Haloween costumes for kids to make it more palatable to have people disappear and end up being " rendered " in secret detention centers over seas.\n\nI think there is a Thomas Kinkaid sculptre of the guy with wire on his thumbe draped in a pauncho  on the box for sale in 3 easy installments for $29.99 each - but supplies are limited. \n\nNo, sadly many, many Americans ( who may even be Christian conservatives ), seem to think this is OK and justified. \n\nWhat have we become?  Dear god. Didnt the GESTAPO do stuff like this ? But I am a liberal, what do I know?
