Who came up with the idea of a piggy bank?

No one invented the piggy bank. The piggy banks' origin owes more to the history of language, than to an individual inventor. In old english (around the 15th century) there was a word "pygg" which referred to a type of orange clay. People made all kinds of useful objects out of clay, including dishes and jars to hold spare change. Around the 18th century, the word "pygg" now sounded the same as the word for the animal "pig". An unknown person(s) thought to shape a  "pygg" jar, to look just like a real "pig". Perhaps an order came in for a "pygg" jar and the potter misunderstood.


Well if he wants to have sex with you, he might get kinda fed up eventually, dont you think? Why do you want to keep him but not have sex with him. Sex is part of love. Is he a potential lover or just your sugar daddy or something?


Does anyone know where i can meet "soccer moms" at in wisconsin

The thing about soccer moms is that they're usually married.  But I'm guessing you don't care?  You're hoping to find one who's tired of lugging the kids around and wants a little excitement?  lol\n\nI'd suggest soccer or little league games.  Hang out and try to appear romantic, exciting and just a wee bit dangerous....\n\nOr try putting an ad in the Alternatives section of the local newspaper.  ISO SOCCER MOMS!


Anal sex can be wonderful..or horrible, depending on you and your partner.\n\nIf you plan to penetrate, have your partner spend lots of time getting you used to it first--I'm talking licking, tonguing, touching, fingering...You should be comfortable with 2 fingers inside before you try to put a penis or anything larger inside it.\n\nOne of the best suggestions I can give...oral sex in the vaginal area until you're almost at the point of orgasm, and then slip something very lubed--fingertip or something of the sort, just inside the anus while there is direct clit contact.  It will send you over the edge in a very good way, but remember not to force it.\n\nPlenty of lube is also a plus.  Astroglide is just about the best around and won't destroy a condom.  Plus it's not water-based, so it's not going to disappear in the middle of sex--it stays for as long as you're still doing it.


before you begin car-pooling or using public transportation?

realistically, i'd pay for whatever they raise it to.  got bills and a mortgage to pay!  i live in a new construction house so there's no public transit that comes up my hill (well, at least not yet, and I don't know if that'll ever be in the works).  I'm as earth friendly as the next person, but i've got to think about the income factor more.  hopefully though, it won't go above $4/gal because that'd make me sick!


I was offered a random sales job. In the e-mail it says "First year outside sales income is $60,000 - $80,000".\nI have never did anything sales related.

Outside sales involves selling a product or service to prospective customers in a face to face setting- as opposed to over the phone (i.e. telemarketing,etc.)


I dont have alot going on at work right now, so i just wanted to say good morning to the fellow Yahoo Q&A ers out there and see whats going on.


I use red dot powder and 12a winchester wads

You need to buy some books. I don't say that lightly - in the past I have offered specific reloading data for people. But the way you worded your question suggests that reloading is new for you, and I assure you there's more to reloading than simply dropping the right amount of powder into a shell.\n\nBuy yourself a couple of decent reloading manuals - the RCBS manual is probably the best overall shotshell manual, and you can supplement that with load data from Alliant's website, as you're using Red Dot.


Is it because my arguements are so strong, they are immposible to disagree with....so you must make cheap jibes at me?\n\nI challenge to you to be able to DISPROVE my ARGUEMENTS!!!\n\nYou can't because you know that Bush is best!!!\n\n\nBUSH PRIDE!\n\nLONG LIVE GEORGE W BUSH!

Please go ahead and look through my responses. While I do often disagree with the President and his supporters, I often state that I feel he has good intentions and is certainly not evil or stupid.\n\nI don't think President Bush is the best, but he is certainly not the worst either.\n\nOn the other hand, when you say that I am stupid and an infidel and unChristian (from your own list of questions), you are undermining your whole idea. You start seeking out people specifically to insult them and make them feel bad, and then claim it is unfair and impolite for them to behave just as badly as you do.


I have the means to pay back what I owe my landlord...around $3000. I was one of two people on the lease...and my former roommate passed away since then, so I guess I am fully responsible now. My question is, I am going to be applying to rent a house/apartment in about 4 months, and I cannot have this  eviction as is, what are the chances my former landlord (an apt. community) will work with me to get their money and possibly give me some good standing to work with as far as rental history? How does this work? It is not on my credit report, so I guess its up to the landlord to relay this info to my future landlords, unless they do a check for an eviction? Any help on this broad topic is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations on getting yourself back on your feet.  \n\nRental applications ask for contact info for previous landlords, so they can check on your rental history.  They also will probably ask if you have been evicted.  Be truthful on your application and explain that you have paid the back rent that was owed.  \n\nYou may need an understanding landlord and/or a co-signer, but you should be able to rent somewhere once you have cleared things up.\n\nYou might have a claim against the estate of your former roommate, hassle and bad taste of going after it is probably not worth the money.


yes i'm upset and i'm goin to miss it and i was looking forward for the next season.


My husband and I were planning to get pregnant again this year. Should we wait?

I believe this means that the cells from your cervix have shown some abnormal changes that that need to be further investigated.  This varies in severity, although nearly all abnormal smear tests 'go back to normal' by themselves without treatment. In the U.K, if you have an abnormal smear you wil be referred to hospital for a further investiagtion (a colposcopy) or you will be asked to attend another smear test in 6 months time. This is most common with 'borderline' (very minor) changes that are likely to correct themselves.  If you are referred to hospital after your first abnormal smear (or after the second) you will undergo a colposcopy.  This is where they stain your cervix with a solution to show up the abnormal cells better.  They then take a biopsy to be sent away which checks the severity of your abnormalities.  I believe that usually treatment is only offered once the results of the biopsy come back, but in the U.K you can be offered treatment at the colposcopy if the doctor thinks you are likely to require it.  This involves burning the abnormal cells with a laser (you get a local anaesthetic!).  I believe this treatment is almost 100% effective in removing abnormal cells and preventing their return.  \nIn all, abnormal smear tests are quite common and most will clear themselves, or even with the treatment do not pose much of a threat-in younger women especially to find cervical cancer is EXTREMELY rare, so don't worry.  \nI think that your abnormal cells are likely to have cleared/been treated before you get pregnant. If not, I'm quite sure that being pregnant and having abnormal cervical cells will not affect the baby but Im not sure if it is possible to carry out the treatment on a pregnant woman-so I'd check with your doctor just to be sure before you do get pregnant.\nBoth myself and my sister have have abnormal smears, she had a colposcopy done a fortnight ago and I have to get one next week-I also know many other young women who have had the same, so its more common than most people think!  \nI'm also sure your doctor/nurse would be able to offer you more advice but I hope this helps you a little! \nAll the best!

I play 4-6 hours a day and 30 minutes of conditioning.  also what do I have to do to be great.  Im 13 and have been playing for 1 year and 5 mounths

Well one thing i have learned in my years of tennis is that..... even if you practice 4-6 hours a day you may not improve, its the quality of practice you have.  I would recomend only practing half that much but raise you intensity level to that of a tournament match.  Also i would recomend spending more time with conditioning alternate days of sprinting and distance, also you are about the age to hit the gym and start doing weights.  Over the years this has helped me improve the fastest as a tennis player.\n\nHope this helped, Good Luck!


There is a web hosting server, which has got different virual folders setup as websites...more like a schema...those folders are locked with a referenced IP address. So when you type in the website address...DNS reosloves the name to the IP address...and gives you the website to  your browser!\n\nHelps??


I have an group interview next week.  I've never had a job before (even though I've been to interviews).  What types of questions do the managers ask, and what are they looking for in their applicants?  Answers from people who have worked or currently work at the store would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

You will be asked two types of questions:\n\nA) Informative: These questions are the "Tell me about yourself" variety - where you went to school, what you studied, etc.\n\nB) Behavioral: These questions will be in regards to how you react under certain situations (i.e., Tell me about a time when you...).  These questions are designed to see how you react under certain situations depending on the job you're applying for.  \n\nIn group interviews, it's really a "Do we like this person enough to hire them?" type of scene.  Just be yourself, don't be nervous, know something about the company as well as the position you're applying for, ask questions about the job and the company culture, and finally, send thank you notes to all those who interview you.\n\nBottom line: Your interview should tell the hiring managers three things - why are you interviewing with us (as opposed to The Gap), why should we hire you (over the hundreds of other applicants that we talked to today and all this week), and what makes you unique.\n\nGood luck....


I was thinking about doing the Civil Rights movement, any ideas? All ideas are welcome.

Is 9th grade World History? (It is for ninth graders in our school.) If so, I would do something on the Holocaust. Plenty of tragedy, and eventually triumph.\n\nIf 9th grade is American History, something on 9/11 would be good.


I am NOT  a math person but i would like to get it at least up to calculus (for some weird ass reason)... any suggestions as to become a beter mathmetitian

talk to your math teachers, ask them what you don't understand so you can understand everything. so when they introduce a new concept, you can figure it out from prior knowledge.


mother forged quitclaim deed with her attorney, close friend.they had me sign my grandmothers power of attorney. my mother took possession of a commercial building from a deed she gifted to my brother because the lineal decent was going to be broken to my mother because my father was dieing of cancer she had him sign a will that looks like someone was dying that signed it, so was the quitclaim deed was signed by my senile grandma

Sounds like you need a different attorney, and a bail bond agent.  First of all this is enough to bring charges against the attorney, the notary, your mother, and YOU.  \n\nPut all this together and the crime begins with CONSPIRACY!  This violates most state notary laws, attorney responsiblity rules, not to mention fraud, forgery, and fraudlent schemes.  \n\nIf you want to correct this situation I would certainly be the first one to speak to the authorities about this. Deeds must be recorded by the state so finding out about this is easy.  The "real" inheritor won't have to look too hard to find out what has happened.  If I were you I would take cover.


UK IMMIGRATION RULES AS IT AFFECTS MIGRANTS TO SCOTLAND

Try U.S. Embassy in that country or Dept. of Immigration in U.S.


remember, villenue when had blocked fisichella, he lost ony 1 place, but fisichella lost 4  !

The punishment that Fisichella endured wasn't too fair. After all, he was on his out lap and Coulthard wasn't able to overtake him, due to limitations in track width. His 3 best times were deleted, so probably his remaining best time was only enough for 10th. But the punishment for what Schumi did was totally fair. He blocked much more drivers who were on their flyers; so all his times were deleted. That means a pole for Fernando!!! YAY!!!


Will someone please give me some good diets to go on and some good exercise habits?! Thanx everyone who answered this for me! I could REALLY use this info! Thanks again!

You are young and need to take into consideration that your body is still changing. I have a plan that works so use this with caution. \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 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \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 - muligrain 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. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. 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 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.


I think this applies to all ages.....so very true and funny.\n\nMy forgetter's getting better, \nBut my rememberer is broke \nTo you that may seem funny \nBut, to me, that is no joke \n\nFor when I'm  "here"  I'm wondering \nIf I really should be  "there" \nAnd, when I try to think it through, \nI haven't got a prayer! \n\nOft times I walk into a room, \nSay "what am I here for?" \nI wrack my brain, but all in vain! \nA zero, is my score. \n\nAt times I put something away \nWhere it is safe, but, Gee! \nThe person it is safest from \nIs, generally, me! \n\nWhen shopping I may see someone, \nSay "Hi" and have a chat, \nThen, when the person walks away \nI ask myself, "who was that?" \n\nYes, my forgetter's getting better \nWhile my rememberer is broke, \nAnd it's driving me plumb crazy \nAnd that isn't any joke.

Good one :]\n\nBut one exception to your poem:\n\nI can't FORGET your funny poem.(My forgetter would become a little worse) :]\n\nHave a nice day :]

Im a gemini girl and I have strong feelings for a cancer guy. Do u think it will work?

I have a gemini friend and she and I(cancer) kinda like eachother but have nothing really to talk about and very little in common. I don't believe in taking horoscopes to far but...go on a date and see if you can keep the conversation going all night or whether it just ends in sex or something like that. Then you'll know and your strong feelings will be out of your system. Good luck!

bush administrations prepares for the worst case scenerio of 2 million dying. What would you do to prepare?

Yes i think there will be. As to how bad it will be - no-one really knows, but it is always best to prepare. To prepare, you should stay upto date with any flu shots, because it gives your body a dry run if you will. Also having a few extra tin goods wouldnt hurt, so you dont have to leave the house so often. But apart from that, there is not much you can do, but follow any extra instruction given to you by the authorities


I was supposed to have defended my research 2005,but I could not make myself sit and write I have all the necessary material,but after collecting it I have  not even begun to read it in order to write my theses.

go for walk, get some fresh air, think about what you wanna write....\n\nyou might wanna skim your research and that'll help you in writing it.\n\nyou just sound like you need motivation....you must be passtionate about your thesis...that should be motivating in itself.\n\nbreak up your entire thesis in smaller segments, you'll get things accomplished then.

My husband wants to leave me and he thinks i am cheating on him and i am not i love him so much and now he has been calling a girl on he's cell phone. What do i do. Do i tell him i know he has been calling or what.

Sounds like a case of him feeling guilty for what he was doing so he makes up something to blame you for to cover it up.  You should confront him and find out why what he is doing with this girl isn't considered cheating.

what is the best laptop for graphic design

Both above answers are correct.\n\nIf you're comfortable with using a Mac, then an Apple Mac laptop will suit you just fine. Macs are good systems for graphocs design.\n\nBut if you want to stick to Windows/Linux environment then go for a Dell. Dell allow you to upgrade to double memory with most of their deals, and this is all ways a bonus with graphics design


we all know the nature of electro magnetic forces and how they are generated, but why does mass itself generate the force of gravity. what is the source of energy for gravity, since it is a  force and hence must have a source. (wow, that ryhmes....;) )

Maybe it's not really a mass generated force at all. It could just be that it is masses effect on space-time. Actually, I guess it could be that it's not the earth for example that causes gravity but space-times effort to put matter in clumps and roll it into a ball. The bigger the mass the more space-time there is to push against it. Einstein's example was to imagine a bowling ball sitting on a large rubber sheet. The bowling ball would deform the sheet and the curvature of the rubber represented gravity in space-time. The closer you get to the ball the more curvature you have. That would explain why gravity is weaker with added distance.

I've been with my current boyfriend for 6 months and we are happy, though recently I met my ex at a party. I found that i do still fancy him, but I told him that I already had a boyfriend. By current boyfriend knows about my ex and is jealous. Last week they met in a pub by chance, and words were exchanged. My ex has challenged my boyfriend to a fight and he has agreed. What should I do to stop them or should I let them fight?

Well this is just ridiculous. How old are you all?


Is it legal for a public school to place a tire boot on a car that the school deems is parked illegally? I know that police can be called to tow the car, but is it legal for the school to place a boot on the car without any police involvement.\nthanks alot.

Any car parked on the property that the school administers is subject to the enforcement of parking regulations created by the principals/school board/local govt.  Think of it as if someone parked a car on your private property; you could boot there car, and so can a school administrator.


what is the formula for long life (longetivity)?

Apparently, sleeping less is one great way to increase your longevity... (see source)\n\nI don't agree with the comment regarding living in a 'First World Nation'. Currently, 1 out of every 6 children in the United States is obese. Maybe he meant "don't live in Texas".


About ten years ago I was working on an electric piviot sprinkler and asked the guy working with me if it was turned off at the pole. Well it wasn't. 480 volts to be exact. I was thrown about 30' and would have gone farther if I hadn't knocked the guy down.\n\nMy question is, Can anyone tell me what the long term affects are and how much longer will it be before it gets the best of me?  I am starting to have trouble with my joints. If some one is doing a study on this I would be interested in knowing about it.

First of all, your joint problems may not even have anything to do with this.  You might just be starting arthritis or fibromyalgia.\n\nGosh, I wouldn't even know where to find out this kind of information.  I used to work for an electric utility company but I don't remember ever seeing this kind of study even though our company lost several people because of failure when they were working on lines at tops of poles.  You're probably just going to have to try different word combinations and use the search engines on the internet to find out.  Maybe one thing you can do is contact General Electric to see if they have any info.  Try their website at www.ge.com .  Good Luck!

Doesn't 1 John 5:1 says that everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Christ is born of God?

Yes. Watchtower missreads this verse:\n\nAnd I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. \n(Revelation 7:4)\n\nThese 144,000 are 12000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. They will receive Christ and preach boldly the word of God during the tribulation period.\n\nAlso, the bible says:\n\nFor the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. \n(Romans 10:11-13)\n\nFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n(John 3:16)\n\nBottom line: when a denomination contradicts the Bible, the Bible is always right


I got a wierd phone call on my cell phone and i want to know who it is how can i call that person back the caller was anymonus.

THe only options you have are to block restricted numbers from calling you. That can only be done wit land line phones, not cell phones. I know it is annoying, hopefully one day the phone companies will fix this.\n\nTo get blocked numbers from not calling you is to request this service from your phone company.


WHY IS IT THAT WHEN SOMEONE POSTS A PROFILE OF ANY KIND. WHY IS IT THAT THEY CAN'T SPELL? IF YOU WANT TO FIND ROMANCE OR FRIENDSHIP ALL IT DOES IS SAY TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE ILLETERATE.THERE IS SPELL CHECK AND ONLINE DICTIONARIES. ITS NOT JUST A COUPLE OF WORDS, ITS THE WHOLE PRESENTATION!!

Education is absolutely important in communication. (Heck, you even spelled Illeterate wrong. Caps also imply screaming so tone down okay?) Sorry, I'm in a heckling mood here cos Elliot got booted!\n\nHow else is education important? Well, it enriches you. You gain knowledge, learn how the world is, learn how history was, learn the beauty of art, science, humanities. Education exists not for the sole purpose of posting profiles on line but for us to tap into. We learn basic mathematical calculations & problem solving skills. This helps us tackle issues in life with our vast store of knowledge. Real fulfillment comes from listening to a masterpiece or viewing beauty as interpreted in a painting through an artist's eye. What can beat that! It is all about balance (of ignorance vs knowledge) so learn to appreciate education and the vast opportunities it affords us to open our minds.

They both live overseas and it appears that the husband volunteered for deployment.  Wouldn't there be some sort of law that would not allow the wife to be deployed as well?

Absolutely. Dependents have no bearing on a military member being deployed. Most bases are required to have packets on hand (done by the military members in question) in case they are deployed and their dependents cannot follow. These are made as a contingency for deployment of single parents and deployment of both married members so that under aged children or invalid adults are taken care of in their absence. Very specific orders are listed (where the dependents are to be sent to, who will have custody of them, power of attorney paperwork, etc.) \n\nDuring the first phase of Desert Shield, there were issues with children being "abandoned" at airports or left at home to fend for themselves. I know the U.S. Air Force enacted these packets to avoid future cases of neglect, and assume the other branches did as well.\n\nThe assumption that only one parent would be sent cannot be upheld - who would decide if the man or woman was to be deployed (equal rights, no bias based on gender...) If a person signed their name on the enlistment/reenlistment paperwork, they agreed to do whatever the military lawfully ordered them to do (and being deployed is a part of military life.)


Now I'm a chef and I've cut myself a zillion times with knives and such. I mean, I've needed stitches and such. But when I get a "Paper cut" that is always way more painfull than a good "Gash" from a knife. What gives?

It's not just paper cuts. Any shallow cut-whether made by paper or a sharp plastic edge-hurts more than a deep cut because the shallow one remains open. The body quickly seals, with a blood clot, a deeper cut that bleeds. Indeed, any wound not sealed off, like an ulcer or a burn, hurts and, as soon as the doctor covers the open wound with a gel dressing, the pain lessens. Try it the next time you get a paper cut. Cover your cut with a gel dressing made for ulcers and feel the tenderness lessen.\n\nAlso  Because the shallow cut does not bleed very much, the pain receptors are left open to the air, ensuring continued pain. This is exacerbated by irritation caused by the fibers in the paper itself, which may be coated in chemicals such as bleach.


I don't remember being like that a few years ago, so, I don't know if I should do it or not.  What if I don't qualify?

Don't pay for scholarship info!  You can do it yourself for free!\n\nThere are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!


I have a single IP address coming into a netgear router.

One machine is running apache Fedora 5, the other is on IIS on a windows 2003.\n\nAny help would be appreciated.

When you are NAT'ing using a single IP addresas, the only thing you can do is port-forward. For example, lets say your external IP is 10.10.10.1 (let's pretend it's valid eventhough it's not), you may be able to have your router do PAT (port-address-translation) or port-forwarding by telling it to send all incoming port-80 sessions to a specific web-server. \n\nThe problem is that you have multiple web-servers, so you can only do port forwarding for one machine on port 80. Another option is to run one of the sites on port 8080 (or something different than 80), and do port forwarding on that particlar port.\n\nUltimately, here are you're two hurdles:\n\n(1) Your router/switch may not support PAT.\n(2) If it does, you only have 1 public external IP address and two distinct internal servers behind it.\n\nYour realy solution is to make sure that you do PAT (or get hardware that will support it), and to get a 2nd IP from your ISP.

An abundant nonmetallic, tetravalent element, carbon has several allotropic forms, including diamond and graphite. Carbon occurs in all organic life and is the basis of organic chemistry. This nonmetal also has the interesting chemical property of being able to bond with itself and a wide variety of other elements, forming nearly 10 million known compounds.


I have lost 12 lbs since Feb and am doing it the healthy way by eating right and exercising. I enver really had a huge weight problem to start with. I am 5'5' and hope to get back down to 125 lbs.\nMy question is...when you lose weight fast is most of it water weight?

Losing weight fast is usually just in the beginning and yes it's more water weight than anything else. It does provide a great incentive though to keep going. After that losing weight the slow way like you are doing is the best. It becomes a way of life as well and you'll stay in good shape.


I signed a copy of a new lease agreement for office space in New York in April 26th which goes into effect on May 1st.  The Building Manager says it takes a few weeks for the copy to come back.  Today is the 18th and i have not recieved my copy back.  I have no copy of the original.  Im afraid what if someone forges my lease amount or tries to swallow my deposit.  What can i do?  I have spoken with the manager which is of NO help.

That sounds funny where would he have to take it to get copys? Ask if he has a copy and if he has a copier.\nthey usually do it in the office. If you have no lease then i guess you could just leave tell him that and see if it produces a copy. check the laws about that or ask him what the laws are and he says he does not know tell him your gonna find out. Do you have a bank statement showing what you spent? Keep your reciepts.

What are some funny sayings that children say in place of or to substitute for bad language.\nExample: Got Dandruff and some of it itches. (Say it firmly and loud-you'll get the point!)

I'm looking into some overseas development ideas. Do you know roughly what percentage have internet access (most or just a few)?

my school in nigeria had internet service, it is the best school i have seen till today...


Alright so in biology class awhile back, we were blood typing. Literally drawing our own blood with sterile materials and mixing them with the antigens to see what blood type we were. \n\nExcept that I couldn't get the blood to come out of the side of my finger. I stabbed a few more times and tried to squeeze a few drops out. But it wasn't enough to test. Then I felt really light headed and everyone told me I looked pale. The teacher even went so far as to tell me to put my head between my legs for a few minutes. So my question is what happened back there? Is this some weird survival instinct? Or do I have bad circulation in my hands? Or something else?

Nothing to worry about, you're just one of those types that faint at the sight of blood.  Just kidding, you were probably holding your breath the whole time you were sticking yourself.  Next time breath regularly and not too shallow.  By the way, I cowered out, my teacher had to stab my finger.  That was an adrenalin rush!


Every interview has a unique focus, but some questions are asked so often, it makes sense to do all you can to prepare for them. In order to be successful, you need a strategy -- not scripted answers. Your goal should be to emphasize your past experiences that best fit what each interviewer is looking for.\n\n\nTell me about a time when you faced a major obstacle at work.\n\nIntent: Similar to the proudest achievement question, this is a behavioral interview question focused on an event. In this case, the interviewer is interested in your ability to overcome a major hurdle.\n\nContext: Pick an example that illustrates a significant obstacle that best demonstrates how you work and that had a positive, tangible outcome. Obstacles might include business problems, a difficult objective, key people who stood in your way or lack of resources. Once you have your example, explain the steps you took.\n\nResponse: You could include the analysis you performed and the resulting strategy, the process you took, the key actions performed, your arguments or anything else that clearly demonstrates how you achieved your goal. A great response technique for this kind of question is to break your answer down into phases or steps: "First, I... Second...."\n\nHow do you deal with conflict?\n\nIntent: Conflict is part of any workplace, and the reality is that you often can't get ahead or perform well in your job unless you can deal with conflict at a basic level. Do you avoid conflict or face it? Do you think it through, or are you emotional? Do you use constructive techniques to resolve the situation?\n\nContext: There are different forms of conflict of course: the everyday interpersonal sort, disagreements in direction or strategy, and conflict over resources. You should describe how you handle conflict at an appropriate level. If you are a manager or executive, for example, pick a reflective example.\n\nResponse: Consider offering a specific example to demonstrate how you resolve conflict.\n\nTell me about yourself.\n\nIntent: Such an innocent-sounding question, but it is a bit of a trap. The interviewer wants to see how you present yourself, but this is not an offer to recite your resume.\n\nContext: This question, which when asked always occurs at the beginning of the interview, is a predictable opportunity to craft an engaging, intriguing executive summary of who you are professionally and why you are there. While there is no hard-and-fast rule as to how long it should be, let's say it should last up to a minute. If you are given this opportunity, turn it to your advantage to establish momentum.\n\nResponse: The stronger the connection you can make between your background, knowledge and interests, and the job at hand, the more compelling you will be as a candidate. If there is something notable about your personal life that adds to your candidacy or helps explain your career trajectory, add it. Otherwise, leave personal details out at this stage unless invited to do so.\n\nHow would you describe your work style? \n\nIntent: This is a fairly open-ended question. At a basic level, the interviewer is interested in hearing how you both understand and articulate how you work. However, there may be a requirement for someone highly organized, or the team may have a specific way of working, and the interviewer wants to see if you fit.\n\nContext: You may not have thought about this too carefully before. How do you best operate? What's the optimum work situation for you? There are two sides to this: how you work and in what kinds of work environments do you work best. Are you highly structured? Do you focus on one thing and get it done, or move multiple projects forward concurrently? On the environment side, do you do best in fairly structured workplaces, or do you thrive in chaos?\n\nResponse: Like any other answer, being specific and backing up your answer with a brief example works best. You could use the past week as an illust


My grandmother has glaucoma and doesn't really prefer the marijuana method.

A host of things! Elimnating carbonated water from your diet, using bilberry, eating raw seeds particularly sunflower seeds.   \nLast but not least, filtering all water of hydrofloridic acid (What the industry calls necessary floride) Here's a site that will turn you green: http://www.angelhealingcenter.com/Fluoride.html#WhatYouCanDo

My dad calls all day and says"Why are you being so mean to me??" "Talk to me." Blah blah blah blah blah.......so annoying do you think its annoying.

I'd be glad he was around to be annoying, mine died in 1981.  But I probably would have be annoyed to be called by anybody all day long.


The job description of soldiers who were in that unit in Vietnam?

The 1st Battalion 11th Field Artillery Regiment was assigned in Vietnam from Jan 1967 to August 1969.  They were a 105mm howitzer battalion firing M101A1 howitzers that date back to World War II.  The 9th Infantry Division was selected to test out the Mobile Riverine Force concept.  The soldiers lived in Troop barracks ships in anchorage and the 105mm howitzers were mounted on board the ships.  The 2nd Brigade was the primary Mobile Riverine Force.  The 3rd Battalion 34th Field Artillery Regiment supported the 2nd Brigade and were the Riverine Field Artillery.  The 9ID was also involved in fighting around Saigon in 1968 and according to General Westmoreland the 9th Infantry Division and the Mobile Riverine Force was responsible for saving the Delta during the Tet offensive.  \n\nThe 1/11 FA had an authorized strength of 468 men in 1968.  They were initially stationed at Bear Cat when they arrived in Vietnam in January of 1967 and then in 1968 they were moved to Dong Tam where they were known for the effectiveness of their artillery.  They left Vietnam on August 14, 1969.


I weigh 154 and want to go down to 102. How many calories should I have on a daily intake?

If 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 1200 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 - muligrain 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 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I have had the experience once.  I was in the back of a COD aircraft...a small passenger prop aircraft that ferried me out to the USS Nimitz out in the Aleutians.  As I was sitting in the back with all the seats facing backwards, I did not know when we were going to strike the deck.  Once we hit the deck...hard...it was a matter rapid deceleration...a noisy process.  Other than that I was so glad to get out of the aircraft and out of the gummy suit, I did not notice much of anything.  The gummy suit is a bright orange waterproof suit that helps you survive in the arctic waters in case the aircraft goes down.  Unfortunately, the water is so cold in the Aleutians, anyone who goes into the water usually does not survive for long before hypothermia sets in.

someone is selling me a used aspire laptop. before i buy it i want to know the pros and cons. she sell it cheap at 350 u.s. dollars. i cant find any fault with it.

there are no user reviews on any of the common sites. I do know that is way too cheap for it, it goes for around 6-8 hundred used, I would be very careful, make sure it is not stolen or anything, and no major flaws. The repair parts are very expensive, but I gues they work goo. I would just wonder why so cheap


neither is better Melina is hott and more the physical type where as Maria is hott but a little on the naive/goofy side.  If i had to choose I would say Melina because Maria's dippyness would get annoying.     Just on the side, the trio of Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, and Beth Phoenix is the hottest group of women in the WWE today.


no. i would feel to, i dont know it just seems so not me. it would be awkward


"Judge And Ye Shall Be Judged" luke 6:37

Only God can Judge a person. It is however part of peoples sinful nature they inherit from adam. So its not allowed through Christianity, but the people are not perfect. And many are just hypocrites. Why people Judge? I think it usually from misconceptions and steriotypical views they have. Mabye though its just out of ignorance, there own lack of knowledge.

I had an apt with a dr at tufts to explore the option of gastric by pass.  I was to go in July.  In June I suffered a compression fracture of the L4 vertebrae leaving some nerve damage in my feel and legs.  When I returned home in August I spent two months at my home when I fell and broke my femur. The leg bone is healed though I will be going to therapy for strengh.  I still amd recovering from the compression fracture and need a walker or crutches to walk.  I am still interested in getting the bariatric surgery but I forgot the Dr. name.  I believe it was Michael something\nPlease help me in finding this Dr.  Sheri21648@aol.com

Check the obesity help web site. They list just about every bariatric surgeon out there and have tons more info on the surgery as well.\nSounds like you had a tough year. I broke my tailbone last fall and it took me months to recover.  Being injured just sucks.

My Boyfriends had Psoriasis on his scalp.... My Problem is that he has a Big afro .... and it is hard to get to his scalp to treat it.... I was wondering of anyone had any suggestions....

With an afro it would be difficult, as you say. I would suggest convincing him to get a haircut. Nothing drastic, just a smaller afro. Then any medications would be easier to administer.

Dont think so. My dad does it as well *rolls eyes* i think its just a "man" thing.


What equipment do I need to create a podcast?  How do I podcast? I have a training session that I want to record and have my participants use their iPod to view it. How do I accomplish this? Which iPod is best for this kind of project?

All you need to make a podcast is a computer microphone and sofware. I think quicktime pro would work, but I am sure there are a couple of free programs available. Any iPod will work.


you can read someone by looking into thier eyes, or even by touching them?

It depends on your state of awareness. People who are highly developed spiritually can tell a lot about others simply by looking at them. For example, about Gautam Buddha it is said that simply by looking at someone he could know his past, present and future lives. As a person develops spiritually, his intuition starts getting awakened. Such a person when (s)he looks at others starts getting vague ideas about how the other person might be feling/being. In highly developed individuals such powers reach their pinnacle.


If you could smash a banana cream pie into the soles of any MALE celebrity, who would you choose?\nWhy?\n\nThe best answer will get 10 points.\nThanks!

okay so i met this guy 8 months ago and hes from another state. weve been talking to eachother more seriously for about 3 months and hes gonna fly half way across the country to come see me. hes really open about his feeling and we already discussed that im not sleeping with him, but hes coming anyway. what do you think to good to be true, i just want some more opinions because im sort of blinded cause i like him. oh and he wants to be my boyfriend, he may move out here in march also. thanks!

it is only good to be true if u r also blue.


Not me. I'm interested in money. If you have lots of money, I'll date you.

Men have a natural driven desire to have sex , Most guys are not interested in a relationship they want to satisfy their carnal lust and move on to the next person . I am having a hard time finding someone that will get to know me and take the time it takes to build a relationship . Most guys are so superficial they just want to have a one night stand . Good luck

I have a 2 year old boy. The dad is an addict to drugs, he hits me when he is angry, and i just found out that he has a child with some other female. and i can barely afford to raise one child and now im pregnante what should i do??

Only you can decide what to do, but keep in mind that there are good people out there like me that want more children and can't have them.  You gotta do what is best for your child.  Don't let anyone tell you what to do. If you just want someone to talk to you can IM me.


I have a gift for my Mum already...just wondering if anyone has any special ideas for a truely, memorable gesture.\n\nbtw,\nMum, don't read these answers!! LOL

speaking as a mom of 6 grown kids and 5 grandchildren...lets say a gift is always nice, but the one that stands out the most is when a mom is remembered more than just one day, get together offen, show appreciation for her, do things with her, that is something to be thankful for and at the same time teach your or your siblings children how to treat their mother, grandmother. It is all about feelings, understanding, love of another over self


does girls like to receive jokes or sms by her male friend ( not BOY FRIEND) everyday ?will it irritae her if the male friend sms everyday ?

I was curious to see what guys thought about girls who don't shave their privates areas. The guy I sleep with has never said anything, but I think he's just shy. What do you guys think?

It's really up to you. Do you like it? \nBut it's really not important : A few hairs more or a few hairs less. Who cares.


Either physically or just opposite sex friends?

not really, one party bound to feel insecure at some point. its very difficult to synchronized a couples emotion.


If it decreases where does it go? If it increases where does it come from. This question is not asked in a facetious manner

I was taking singular for the cough and 10 mg 1x day and clarinex 5 mg 1x day. Now I am suffering bad with nasel drip and coughing all day an night.

There is a scene where a guy gets shot in the leg.  It cuts opens a vein and they are trying to clamp it, but can't get to it.  My questions is why couldn't they have cauterized the wound? Just make something really hot and burn it closed so he didn't bleed to death.

It's more complicated than that.  The bullet didn't wound a vein, it wounded the femoral artery (One of the biggest ones in the body).  The problem with carterizing it in the field is one you can't easily carterize an artery because of the high pressure that pushes against the walls of the artery (It would essentially rip it back open almost immediately).  Also, in the field they don't even have anything that would be easily used as a cartery device (an effective one anyway...on tv where they put a hot poker on a wound wouldn't actually sufice in real life for much over a small skin wound).  Hope this helps.


Both walls would be 9' in height for a basement of a house.

I would think that a poured concrete wall reinforced with steel rebar would be stronger than the blocks because it is continuous without seams.


when i sit with my friends or relatives i sit as dumb as i dont know on wht topics shalll i talk plz help me ot as my parents r very angry.give me some topics on which we can discuss. coz i dont want myself to b identifies as boring person

I dont know how old you are but i went through a phase of not having a lot to say i was happy to just listen.\n\nMy parents interpreted this as me being rude or a sulky teen. But i felt that where i didnt have anything particularily constructive to say or add to a discussion, there was no point.\n\nJust be yourself when you are comfortable enough and confident then talk if not, just enjoy life as you please.\n\nAt the end of the day it its your life. You are NOT boring you are a thoughtful individual with your own ideas.


There is so much a man can tell you,So much he can say.


help.i have this friend and one of our friends is courting her,.. i hate it not bcoz i like the guy but bcoz he might be the reason why i dont have anyone to hang out with... they might hang out just the two of them..my bf lives in the other country so i have no one to hang out with! my other friends suck! help! pls! and by the way,i dont have a bf here in USA by choice..so dont evn think about telling me to get one...thanks!

Don't dare to call yourself a friend if you're hating your friend for being happy with someone good for her!\n\nFind another thing to do in live! You don't have to hang out? You can do other stuffs alone... Use the net and surf for good stuff. Write something, read something, do something that you can only do alone. Enjoy your moment of alone, cause sometimes when you need to be alone you can't have it.

I'm not really good at playing basketball with my friends, because i don't really know how to cacth the ball and throw it too. So what should i do? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

get a basketball, go to a basketball, then practice dribbling from one end to the other, then practice shooting.  You should not shoot with both hands.  If you are a right handed, you would use ur right hand for power and your left hand to guide the ball. and vice verca if you are left handed.  Then to better catch the ball, u need a 2nd person to help u with that.


Me and my husband are going through a divorce. I am 8 months pregnate and I know for a fact it his his. One of his freinds told him I was cheating on him and that is why he filed. I never once cheated on him but he wont believe me. I still love him with all my heart and I am fixing to have his baby. Should I give up and try to move on? We have been seperated since 10/14/05.

no I don't think you should give up.. if you are honest like you say.. then go after your man.. and make you husband realize that you never cheated on him.. girl... DON'T LET YOUR MAN GET AWAY.. but check this out... obviously your man rather listen to his friends than his own wife.. that's messed up... but if he still insists on getting a divorce  get a paternity test done... then he will fill stupid when he finds out it is his.. then.. we will probably want you back you know.

I already know about the First World War, they thought that we beating them was a fluke. So if any surviving German WW2 vets can answer this question  in a respectble way, I will deeply respect it.

The germans held most of the allies in high respect, certainly the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African, and U.S.\n\nThey were contemptuous of the French.\n\nIn World War one, the Canadians held a piece of front line where there was heavy fighting and thousands died on both sides. This is a place called Vimy Ridge and it is now a  living memorial with all of the trenches and tunnels preserved and a big monument. The French government gave this little piece of France to Canada as a mark of thanks and respect.\n\nInterestingly when the Germans took France in 1940, Hitler himself visited Vimy Ridge and insisted that its status as a part of Canada should remain unchanged.\n\nI guess you can take from that that the Canadian nation was held in high regard, even by the enemy.


the log of 6 to the 17th power (which is 16926659444736) is 17\n\nThe reason that's the answer is because that's the definition of what a log is, although they were discovered via calculus which is some very interesting math. \n\n(If you don't have a calculator that can raise to powers, then realize it's 6 to the 16th times 6 which is 6 squared squared squared squared then times 6)\n\nbut listen, you need to learn how to do these things, that's the point of the homework...


I think the time has come for overweight to start pulling their weight a bit more. There are so many problems associated with obessity. We go after smokers by taxing the hell out of their habit why do overweight people get a free ride? And please dont tell me that they cant help it. Poor eating habits is a learned behavior that they choose not to change. I am not a smoker or overweight. I work a full time job as  does my wife but we still manage to provide a decent and wholesome  meal for our kids every day. Dont tell me some poor unfortunate people cant afford to cook healthy. Because there are just as many middle and upper class overweight people too. This is not ment to offend anyone only provide intellingent conversation.

They do pay more. The insurance companies a ask your weight or if you have a history of obesity in your family on the application.


hi my friends muslims and chrstians, i think that this is a very imprtant point we shall talk about:\n1- god dont cry\n2- god dont ask someone to rescue him ever becouse there is no body stronger than him, and rescue him from what and who and it is all his will !!!!!!!\n\nso when i knew that the following seen happened with jesus (peace on him) i thought we have to think a while about it:\n\n"..... and began to be sorrowful and very depressed. then saith he unto them, 'my soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death....." \n\n" and he went a little further , and fell on his face(exactly as a muslim does in his praying) and prayed, saying. O my father, if it is be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as i will, but as thuo will." (this is a quality of a good muslim who submits his will to the will of god) (matthew 26: 37-39)\n\n" and being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat was as it were, great drops of blood falling down to the ground." (luke 22:44)\n\nnow answer this questions but let it just b 4 u:\n\n1- does a god pray? if yes for whom?\n2- this seen above is most suitable for a god or a massenger who asks god for help?\n3- "drops of blood falling" could it happen to the strongest and almighty god and all life is his will?

why would "god" pray? that is the stupidest thing ive ever heard, i dont even believe in god but if god prayed he wouldnt be god, whomever he prayed to would be considered god. Prayer implies asking and thanking a divine being higher than you.


He create the formula mc square. If there is no Einstein its posssible we have uclear bomb today.

Einstien didn't create the nuclear bomb. He just gave E=mc square. Even if he would not be there, it would have been discovered few years later. America would have won, but maybe few years later. And yes, don't blame Einstien for nuclear bomb tragedy. It would be like blaming Newton if someone fall off a building, because he discovered the nature of Gravity !!


I believe it was just old age but anyone that can clarify this is much appreciated.

the only information I could find mentions that he died of heart failure


it may be stupid but i don't no how so how do u get some1

press your lips against theres, then stick your tounge in and go all out! suck on their lips thats way cool


I never could figure this out on my own.

it means that a team has commited 5 fouls and the other team gets to shot free throws the call it in the penalty


How old were u the first time u had sex???


It sounds like they're bragging it's their b'day AND in addition, they want the guests to bring gifts for them.Some comedian made that point.

Why not throw your own bday party you cant always rely on someone doing it for you also its not just about presents its about getting all your friends together in 1 place at 1 time friends who make negative comments like you described arent really friends and would be invited. That would teach them theyll miss out not you.


I've been diagnosed with a sever Vit D dificiency.  How can I help my body absorb vit D from food sources?

Get out in the sun more!  If you're fair-skinned, 45 minutes a week is beneficial.  If dark-skinned, a few hours a week.  \n\nHere's other sources of D:\n\nCod liver oil (best source)\nFatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, herring\nVitamin D-fortified milk and cereal\nEggs\n\nWatch out taking supplements, you can OD with serious health consequences.


Girls im curious as to knowing, how much blood ya'll lost when you first had sex. Because mine was like a regular period, and i just wanted to know if it was normal? Please fill me in with details.

I didn't bleed, it was just a little uncomfortable. It's normal to bleed, though, and I'd say that your amount of bleeding is normal, too, as long as it stopped after a few days. Don't worry.


Any advice from finding good tenants to effective strategies to follow in maintaining the premises would be very appreciated.

Keep an eye on your property as well. Do a physical check at least once a week. We just moved from an apartment complex that looked good on the surface but had many many health code voilations. Plumbing leaked and caused toxic mold under the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom, Mice, spiders, floor with an extreme weak spot, When I sent a certified letter, asking for repairs to be made, The landlord called Child services on me!


I'm just wandering. I don't worship Smurfs, I just want to know if there's anyone who does.

I know of a guy named Frederick Dassberg who loves and collects them.


Do you ever feel like it's to late to fall in love again?  I think of my age, and I sometimes wonder if I want too much out of a relationship, or should I just settle?\n\nWhat happen to communication?  What happen to being able to enjoy one another's company?  Where is the intimacy in a relationship?  To me this is what makes sex that much more enjoyable.\n\nWhat do you think?  Serious answers only when answering this question!  Thank you!

I'm 40 & looking. I hope it's not too late.I don't know what happened to communication,enjoying each others company or intimacy,but damn I miss it!!!!!


The company my husband works for was bought out and we took a huge hit in income with the new owners. We are falling behind in making monthly payments to creditors. Serious answers only, please.

Consumer Credit Counseling Service or "CCCS".  They are a non-profit organization who will assist you in managing and paying off debt. They will contact all creditors on your behalf to negotiate lower interest rates. You make one payment to CCCS and they dispurse to the creditors. Their requirements are that you close your credit card accounts and attend a debt management counseling session. It was very helpful to me!


we see it when it rains, and snow is just frozen rain after all...

Lightning is formed by the convective processes that occur in a thunderstorm.  You'll have the warm, moist suface layer of air with the cold, dry layer of air aloft.  The natural balance of the atmosphere makes the warm air want to rise.  This gives strong updrafts of air can help create charge differences (warm humid surface air rises and cools, condenses into waterdroplets which have different charge the ice crystals in the upper atmosphere) which can cause lightning.\n\nIn a snowstorm (or winter in general) the surface layer is cold with low dewpoints (dry), so you generally won't find these updrafts and convection found in summer thunderstorms to create lightning.\n\nHowever sometimes the conditions can bring enough warmer air, moisture and instability to cause lightning and thunder.  Check out the link provided for more in depth details.\n\nThe thunder from thundersnow is not heard at very large distances, which makes it seem even rarer.  Snow absorbs a lot of the sound, so it will only be heard about a mile or two away.


Yes Reggie Bush has amazing skills but if you look at his video, the OL was a major factor in a lot of his bug runs.  Taking out the D and creating HUGE gaps for him to run through.  I don't know but i have a feeling that even IF the Texans chose him.  With a OL like they have with the most allowed sacks r after yr i don't think he would have done so well.

Yes Reggie bush is overrated. No doubt he is a very talented athlete. But he was surrounded by an outstanding supporting cast. From His QB, O-line, DEFENSE, and not to mention his partner in the backfield. He is talented but any back of the same caliber would have the same success as Mr Bush.


I know someone who has caused unbelievable grief to people and things just keep going their way?  So I ask the question?  Do you believe what goes around comes around...

Yes it does.  I have seen it happen many times.  Their day is coming, watch and see.


I just bought a djembe and I am not sure how I should tune it. It is done with a rench, but what sound should I be going for and is there a proper way to proseed?

You should be very careful with your drum.  You don't want it to be stretched too tight, or unevenly tuned.\n\nUsually drums are pretty flexible, but it's best to be careful.\n\nAs far as tuning, the point to which you tune depends on your preferences and the situation you're in.  Personally I think lower tunings sound better and give you more options.\n\nTuning:  Start anywhere, tune in small increments (maybe start with something you percieve to be 1/8in.), then jump directly accross the drum to the tuner opposite the one you just turned, then go to the tuner to the left of the one you started with and repeat the process.  \n\nDiagram at link. (sorry for the confusion.)


You can generally send anything within reason. Just use common sense.\nThere are several websites on the web that you might use to give you some ideas if you have never sent one, but from personal experience I would go with snack foods for sure but try to avoid large quantities of chocolate as it tends to melt; The powdered drink mixes are good too like Kool-Aid; Playing cards are always good as they tend to wear out or become misplaced quickly; Stationary or postcards are welcome too, since they are often in places where they can't get this stuff. If you know what your friends like listening to send some cd's. Magazines of all sorts are always a hit! even if they aren't the most current. On the practical side you can send personal hygene products like deoderant, razors, shaving cream, toothpaste, etc.  Bug spray is good too, but try not to send the metal aerosol cans.  If you send a mixture of things remember to wrap or bag package toiletries and the like separatly before you put it in a box with edibles in case something breaks or leaks.  Stay away from glass items if you can. Be sure and send a letter even if you just talk about unimportant thing. Any little reminder of something going on at home is huge for most of them.


I liked a girl before but she got scared after i confessed.We were frens but bcos of dat we're not now.How do i then identify who is and whos not?i dont want to lose her. Gay bars are not options fr me..It seems so hard to find a lesbian in my place.I stay in Selangor Malaysia.

What is the basic difference between the nasdaq and the NYSE?i mean not only on the sense of presence, but in the way stocks are dealed. How do the market maker work? on what basis do they fix the price of a bit?of a ask?\nI would like to know anythg possible to know about the nasdaq.\nWhere can i get all those inforamtions ?\nThanks in advance.

The difference between the Nasdaq and the NYSE is:\n\n1. The Nasdaq is traded electronically.  All of the trades are executed by computer which leaves little human error.\n2. The NYSE is done by people.  When you see TV shows and movies (like Trading Places with Eddie Murphy)there are people in a pit that are waving their hands back and forth.  They are doing manually what the Nasdaq does on the computer.  If you go to the Nasdaq website: www.nasdaq.com you should be able to get your questions answered. \n\nOn your second question: bid v. ask, the bid price is what most investors on the aggregate are willing to pay for a stock, and the ask price is what the holders of the stock are willing to sell it for.  It is the old supply and demand principles at work.


Thinking about commuting across the River Clyde on the West Coast of Scotland by Kayak - is this realistic, or is there a better vessel (other than a ferry!!!!) that I could use, without worrying about moorings and the like?

It does sound like fun but you have to ask yourself how practical would it really be bearing in mind the varying weather conditions, tides, shipping and navigational hazards that you may or are likely to experience on the Clyde. \n\nYou will also need to look at identifying practical launching and landing sites near to your point of departure and arrival.\n\nWhether it is silly or not depends entirely on your experience and ability as a Kayakist.\n\nI'm not so familiar with the Clyde but knowing the Firth of Forth quite well I can safely say that 2 miles (even in a boat) can seem alot longer not to mention take longer if you suddenly find yourself caught up in bad weather or the wrong side of the tide.\n\nIf you want to use a boat then you will have to think about places to moor or berth.\n\nFor more information on Kayaking contact the British Canoe Union:\n\nhttp://www.bcu.org.uk


I learned last night that I had a relative who came here for, what I think, a great reason... She came here to avoid being put into a little chamber and getting gassed.  Can you give me a good reason why you or your family came here?\n\nSPARKY...DO NOT COPY AND PASTE A PREVIOUS ANSWER! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE!!!!!!

My father's family left their home in Germany in 1931 because they saw the writing on the wall as far as Hitler rising higher and becoming very dangerous to intellectuals. They knew that The United States was the only place that they would ever be happy in if they couldn't live out their days in their homeland.\nMy mother's family is Nez Perce and all of the rest of us came after her people....


I am having a lot of pain on my right side.  I had a 6cm cyst removed last year.  It hurts to sit, stand, and walk.  What should I do?  Everybody thinks that it is one of my cysts and I am thinking that maybe they are right.  Please help me.

I agree with both above. Go to the ER or your doc; which ever is open right now. Don't play guessing games with your health; please take care of yourself. Ovarian cysts are extremely painful when they rupture; I know this from experience.

I really need to know.\n\nIt seems to me like it is a scam but some people say its not.

It's got all the markings of a "pyramid" plus it falls under the category of "too good to be true".  There are two areas most of these companies operate in; Beauty & Health Care (esp. vitamins).......\n\nClealy stay far away from this. No matter what they say... they're not "different".


The term has its origins in Aberdeen Scotland. A 15th century land-owner and pig farmer, by the name of Adam Dunnings, became famous for using the same giant saddleback pig to carry him to work every day for 20 years. This story is also the origin of the name 'saddleback' as the pig was 'saddled' by the farmer. When the pig died the farmer honored his beast by eating him.


im only 16 though, chances of love are kinda reduced\nthis girl I really like was naming all my good qualities, eg. cute,funny, smart, athletic, caring ..etc..etc.\nthen i named the same things and some more to her.\nshe said that every time she hears my voice she just wants to hug me.. she's had dreams about me.\n\nnow ... would you say this is love, or she just really really likes me ?????\n\nthanks for answering.

Well it sounds like she's falling in love with you!I don't think she'd say those things if there wasn't any meaning behind it!Maybe you should consider asking her this question because she's the only one who knows how she feels because you won't know any more than you do now by asking strangers on the internet!It does sound like she loves you though!


What is a: 6 letter word ending in e that means path, academic class, 5 letter word thats 2nd letter is i that means portion, 5 letter word that ends in a n that means stopping device\n\nNOTE: this is a crossword puzzle and all the answers have to be a homophone

1st word: probably "course", a homonym for "coarse"\n2nd word: "piece", a homophone for "peace"\n3rd word: are you sure it's right?  A stopping device is probably a "brake", which is a homophone for "break", but if that's so then your 'n' is wrong.\n\nADDED:\nYour 4th word is probably "hole", a homonym for "whole".


In fact, my wishes resulted in horror stories.  I'm p*ssed.  Hehehe.

No. Usually the money in the fountain is periodically collected and donated to a worthy cause. Second, if you are not putting your coins in there to donate money, then stop throwing your money in there. Your wishes aren't going to come true by throwing money in there. Your wishes will come true by dedication, hard work, effort, motivation, and desire. If you want something really badly, you can achieve it. Don't waste your money in the fountain. But don't reach in to take it back - the water is filthy.


i am using windows xp on a pentium 4(2.4 GHz).problem occuring with games such as max payne,EA Cricket 2005,etc. Max Payne used to work fine earlier but since having upgraded from Pentium 3 to 4 and other upgrades,problem is occuring

If you upgrade from a pentium 3 to a pentium 4  but didn't to a fresh install of windows you should definitly update your screencard, sound card and motherboard drivers.\n\nYour next option might be to make sure that your current ram is 100% compatible with your motherboard and also make certain that there are no problems with your ram.\n\nAlso turn off automatic restarts in XP, so that you can see what information is displayed when the error occurs. To disable autoimatic restarting in windows XP goto control panel (instructions are for the classic view). Open SYSTEM and CLICK on the ADVANCED tab. under the section STARTUP AND RECOVERY click the SETTINGS button. Uncheck the combo box labeled AUTOMATICALLY RESTART in the SYSTEM FAILURE section.\n\nAfter that if you recieve a blue screen you can record the information there. If will also tell you where the minidump is stored, you can contact me and i'll give you my email adress so you can send me the minidump for debuging. EDIT: the blue screen should give you an indication of where to start looking for the problem, i.e. what driver it could be.\n\nIf you dont see a blue screen upon restarting it's more likely a hardware problem. this could be due to a underpower system, faulty power supply, corrupted ram or some other hardware major hardware problem. \n\nTo check the ram goto http://www.memtest86.com or if you have a linux boot cd lying around it might give you the option to run memtest from it.


i would like to make duplicate copies of dvd's using my pc to view on my tv using a dvd player

If you need to copy a DVD - first make sure it's a DVD you can copy legally!\nIf so, then the process is simple with a computer:\nsimply use a program like DVD Decrypter to rip all the files onto your computer, and there you have it - a copy of the DVD. Note it's the VOB files that contain the sound and audio.

There is this guy that I am interested in and I am so afraid to talk to him.I am so afraid that he will rather reject me or I will embarass myself. I just got over a past love and I am sooo ready to move on,but I am having a hard time taking that first step.The guy that I like works in the same hospital as me,so I see him 2 or 3 times a day.What should I do??

Let me tell you my story. 15 years ago I met my husband in our work place. I started our conversation with, Can I ask you a question that a few of us girls have been talking about in the break room because you would like a man's point of view on it. Of course he said yes, so I asked him how he felt about dating between people in the work place and how he felt about women making the first move as for asking a man out. I told him I wanted his honest opinion. \nHe gave it to me...so I asked him out. Now we have lived a very happy life. Good luck with this man and I hope he is everything you wanted.


WHY do alot of married women need so much attention from other guys if they,re truely satisfied at home?I look up to women who respect their husbands,even when they,re no where around,cause when I get married thats how I want to be treated!!!

It's not an issue of wanting attention. It's needing attention to feel good about themselves.\n\nOh yes. My wife(soon to be ex-wife) is/was really beautiful, but needs way to much attention. Since our son has been born things have drastically changed because she is not the focus of attention anymore. When she lost all the pregnancy weight and started putting on her pre-pregnancy clothes that was when everything seriously went down hill. She started talking about going to the pool hall and would drop our son on my lap and run out the door saying I'm going shopping in tight jeans and a corset with it all hanging out.\n\nI knew it was the beginning of the end.


Land, Air, Water, Conquered. Through Fire; Travel?\n\nSpeed of Light travel, sure, but how about We travel Through fire? We'd Have to travel at the speed of light in such a case. \n\nWhat would our chariot look like?

My job is very demanding.I take care of children and I am a mothers helper.I have an active social life with my friends.I met someone and married him.I told him that I have to give a three month notice and after that I would be able to move and be with him.I have to finish my committments in order and leaving work early would ruin my integrity.We have been trying to be as close for the remainder of my time here but he gets a little hurt when I do not call to talk when I get off work.Sometimes I have made plans with friends or volunteered to work over for my employer.How can I give him more attention?

It doesn't seem like you have made your new husband a priority in your life. Work and friends appear to come first. You need to think about what is most important to you.


what do you think is the best way to keep your man happy...i have a great man. i want to marry him one day. he loves me and my 3 yr old daughter and i just want to make sure i do everything in my power to show him the same love and respect he shows me, but without getting on his nerves

Men want to be respected.  We'll move mountains for any gal who respects who we are and what we do.  Oh, and after we commit ourselves to you for a lifetime in marriage, we do like regular sex, too.  Cooking for us is nice, but optional.


an online job or some tips to earn some extra money on the side.  I work a full time job, but i need some extra money before school starts this fall. my son starts kindergarten and his birthday is around that same time and i want to be able to save up the money to buy him a present that he will LOVE and also be able to start him off to school in nice clothes. any tips and advice would really be appreciated! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start making gel candles. It's easy to do and since they're such a great product, people get hooked and come back for more. I good rule of thumb is 1 dollar per ounce to sell. You can buy the glass stuff at yard sales, goodwill.. anywhere. Even the dollar stores. They're fast, easy and sell themselves. I'll even give you a great tip.. the scent Love Spell (victoria's secret signature scent) will be your best selling one.. works better then tequila at making your clothes fall off!\n  My cousin does this, she spends about 3 hours a week making the candles. Her daughters usually sell them for her at a 20% fee and flea markets and even yard sales make easy sells. She averges $200-$300 a week. \n  Good luck no matter what venture you try.


i moved from nigeria to the us when i was in 10th grade and i was amazed at my experiences. the students can be so rude to teachers, its unbelievable. and all they get is the detention they happily accept and use as a period of entertainment with their friends. when they come back from punishment, they do it all over again. in my school in nigeria, if u were rude to a teacher, after the teacher beat the living crap out of u, u were then given detentions. no one neede to explain to u that u shouldnt be rude to a teacher again. u'd learn straight up. of course, the teacher only had the right to beat u to a certain level, they couldnt cause any bleeding injuries or long lasting scars or they'd get in trouble..

Definitely!  When  I was in school there was corporal punishment and in my opinion it worked great.  Kids had respect for their elders.

One egg is fertilized by two sperm cells. \nTwo egg cells are fertilized by one sperm cell. \nTwo egg cells are each fertilized by separate sperm cells. \nTwo eggs develop without fertilization.

I think sex has something to do with it...but I'm not sure.\n\nbut after that, 2 eggs 2 sperms individually...duh


i luv this boy soo much his shorter than me i'm tall 4 my age\nhe acts like he luvs me but i dont know wat i should do i\nthink about him 24/7 around da clock....... his sooo hott\nshould i tell him how i feel and wat if he doesn't luv me back?? w.b.

Okay, I really hope you wouldn't listen to Mr. Me or Funnyhaha...If your tall for your age I'm guessing your maybe in middle school or high school...So I would be honest and talk to him.  But remember at the moment you could be feeling the puppy love effects.  So be careful about putting yourself out there...Meaning your feelings are common when people first start dating..but after a little time those feelings may not be quite as intense as they are now.  Good luck young love.

Cant concentrate on studies. And by the time you want to study, you will be very tired. All you think is about the pay and you wont have interest in studies.


The not-talking to each other came about because of the bad relationship between my mom and my brother's long-time girlfriend.  My mother was actually living with them in the house that she sold them (big mistake, i know) and this.......woman (i'll be kind--i'd like to call her something else) told my mother to leave--move out.

Sad thing is some times the word family does not mean much to those who are coming into one.. I too am going thru a similar situation with my son.. I do not know what the best route is for healing this bridge. Maybe small steps ? such has a phone call just to say HI ? or a letter saying the same ? short and simple. No asking for nor expecting a response. Leaving the ball totally in the court of the son. Letting him know your Mom still cares, or you sisters, and want the contact, with out saying such, but leaving him able to choose the time and place when ready . Remember, 3 years is a long time, but it may take that much more time to come together as a family.. It would be easy to push, but you have to decide how far to go...


I'm doing this science project, and need a fancy font or decorative font fo the title! Where do i go?


as it travells every half dist its speed becomes half (like at 100 and 50and 25.....) how much time it will take 2 travell frm A to B

In theory it will never get there as every half-distance will take an hour, and the number of half-distances is infinite. This is Xeno's Paradox in disguise, I think.\n\nIn practice the train cannot change speed with  a few metres left to a crawl that would take an hour, and it would grind to a halt or be unable to maintain the regime.\n\nBut the series 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 ... converges on 2 but never actually makes it.


i dont know if i should ever trust him again or not

Not neccesarily. How long has he known her? Do you know their exsisting relationship? If he just met her, or has only known her for a year or so - chances are, he is cheating. Or testing you. Either way, keep your eyes open.


Just started working w/a new company. been in the accounting biz a long time. never heard this "term" b4 ...Help would be appreciated....Thx in advance

Hmmm, sounds job specific. What context do you normally hear it in?\n\n\nProbably something to do with liabilities or expenditures...\n\ni.e. List of expendatures, Liabilities ans expenses, log of expendatures....something like that. I'm not sure though


In other words what has been your experience? What worked what didn't work?

Something that works very well is to ask him to take the lessons for 1 year. He must take the lessons and practice every day. After one year, he can decide whether he wants to continue with piano, or do something else. Each time he decides, it is for another year.\n\nThe key there, though, is that he must always be participating in something (another instrument, art classes, dance, sports, etc.). Each time he chooses something, it is for a 1-year committment. In this way, he can become very adept at something he likes, or explore a variety of skills while building some basic ability in each.
