1.\n(a)what are the three parts of the cell theory?!\n(b)why was development of the cell theory important for progress in science?!

ya right..but ilike to give some points\n\nCell theory is a scientific theory that is one of the foundations of biology. The generally accepted parts of cell theory include:\n\nThe cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living things. \n\nAll organisms are made up of one or more cells. \nCells arise from other cells through cellular division. \nCells carry genetic material passed to daughter cells during cellular division. \nAll cells are essentially the same in chemical composition. \nEnergy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells. \n\nIn 1838, the botanist Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, a physiologist discovered that both plant and animal cells had nuclei\n\nSchwann and Schleiden's statement of the cell theory was:\n\nCells are the unit of structure, physiology, and organization in living things. \nCells are both a distinct entity and a building block in the construction of organisms. \nCells form by spontaneous generation. \n\nWhen abiogenesis was later disproven, the third tenet was changed to state that all cells came from existing cells. The correct interpretation of cell formation by division was finally promoted by others and formally enunciated in 1858 in Rudolph Virchow's powerful dictum, "Omnis cellula e cellula"... "All cells only arise from pre-existing cells".\n\n\ngo here http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/unity/cell.text.htm

Well I dont care. I care about how they talk and act to other people. Characteristics dont matter! Their personality is what MATTERS!!!


I don't have physical addictions, but I like to smoke, but want to stop badly? Seems that I only want/need at night when I have wine. Don't want to stop drinking and smoking all at once. Help?

Quit cold turkey. You have to just make up your mind and do it.


some of the lyrics are they said i wouldnt make it

I'm Still Holding On\nArtist: Chris Rea\nAlbum: The Blue Cafe\nYear: 1998\n\nHow many times \nHave I been here before? \nLike a worn away piece of the night \nWaiting for the dawn \n\nDaylight breaks \nAnd the dream is gone \nLeaving me to stay \nBut I'm still holding on \nYeah I'll keep holding on \n\nI used to think I knew \nJust exactly what I took \nYou move in, fast and hard \nAnd you make your own luck \n\nDaylight breaks \nAnd the dream is gone \nLeaving me to stay \nBut I'm still holding on \n\nI see it better now \nSmell the tears upon this tracks \nIt's a long long way before it's over \nAnd what you give out \nIs what you get back \nThe easy way out \nIt will bite you hard someday \nYou see me smile and learn \nI find a better way \n\nI'm still holding on\n\nChris Rea Lyrics

He is Immigrating to Australia to be with me here and we just want to start our life and marriage together not in seperate Hemisphere's. He applied for a Spouse Visa in Amman, Jordan September 29th 2005.  We were told on average 22 weeks, well that time has well and truly past. I have emailed them many times, mostly with no response. He has completed everything they have ask, including Payment, Blood Tests, Police/Security Clearance, Medical Examination etc which were all good. I really don't know who I can contact here to get support. Any ideas would be great appreciated. I cannot get help via Immigration here as it is an off-shore Application. I have called Immigration in Australia twice with general questions.

You may have no choice but to wait on this unless the Australian immigration dept. has an online site wheere you can make enquiry or see the status of applications. This is your tax dollars working for you....patience may be the only thing here. This is why alot of pple opt to use attroneys because they are familiar with the system and usually have "inside" contacts taht can brief them on status changes/updates......


my married elder sister and i borrowed some money from dad for rent,i didnt move in with them.now my father is asking me for the money and isnt asking my sister. even though i havent moved in i want to pay back but is it fair that his only asking me only?i know she wont pay back and it will be ok with him, why cant it be the same with me am a single parent!

He clearly knows that you are the one that is responsible and will pay him back.  Did you make any commitments to paying him.  Even though you didn't use his money?  Just a guess as to why he is asking only you.  Ask him to take payments, say 40$ a week


It is a clear glass men's cologne bottle with the word Fitch embossed into the bottom of it.


Why do people make a big deal about a person trying to lose weight as opposed to someone trying to gain weight? You see shows and documentaries of people losing weight, commercials and such...see Subway, hell Uncle Sam are giving out tax credits to individuals who attend weight loss classes!!! I'm having a hard time maintaining weight - I weight lift for mass constantly, consume supplements daily, and make sure I don't skip a meal. When I optimize my regiment I'm around 150-155lbs. Slack off and I'm 135lbs. A person who are thin and trying their damnest to gain weight should be given as much credit are a person who tries to lose weight. On a funny note, since the IRS are giving out tax credits for weight loss classes, can I sue them for skinny person discrimination? LOL

Losing weight is due to health risk, gaining weight is personal choice. There are so many health risks that come along with someone being obese. Someone who is trying to gain weight is considered healthy.


What are some legal and equitable remedies available when a contract has been breached, and when are they applicable?

There are three types of Legal Remedies:\nThere types of damages:\n1. Expectancy - This is the most common remedy -- pay the person as much money as he would have had if the contract was not breached\n2. Reliance -- if the expectancy is not possible -- the court will impose Reliance damages -- return the person all the money that he has spend on reliance on the contract\n3. restitution -- if the person suffered extra harm as a result of the contract breach -- he may recover those expenses.\n\n\nEquitable remedies are rarely used for contact breaches. They may be used if there is no other way to compensate an Innocent party and also in the sale of unique objects and in the sale  of land.\nIn Equity there is only one remedy,: \nspecific performance  -- make the person perform the contact.


i liked that show and it hasnt been on for like two or three weeks...what is this\n\nis it canceled or just what?\n\nwhat is ABC doin???????

ABC has not yet scheduled the next episode.  At this time, as of April 17th, Ryan Thompson, co-creator and writer of this show has started an internet petition, in hopes to keeping this comedy running.\n\nSo, if you want to keep Sons & Daughters on the air, then you'd want to click on the "petition" link below and "sign" it.  Since 4/17/06, there are over 4,000 signatures.  At this point, it's up to the general public. So sign the petition if you want to keep watching it each week!  \n\nSo,...no.  The show, Sons & Daughters, has not been cancelled,...YET.  But it's definitely in a limbo state.


Lets pretend you dont owe any money. And you want to file for years 2003, 2004, and 2005. Should you send them in all at the same time or stagger them. Say file an extension for 2005, then send in 2003, wait a month, then 2004...wait another month, then 2005. Thoughts?

File your 2005 return on time if possible.\n\nFile all of the returns in separate envelopes.\n\nIt doesn't matter if you mail them all at the same time or staggered.  By separating them into individual envelopes, they will be handled separately.\n\nYou might even indicate on the outside of the envelope which tax year is contained inside.

I've broken down crying randomly lately, no reason.  Driving, watching TV, reading the paper.  I don't feel depressed, not sad about anything.

Regardless of whether or not you feel sad, crying is a way for your body to release built up tension and stress. Ever been under an enormous amount of stress, then you hear a somewhat-funny joke and begin laughing hysterically...only to find yourself "laughing" so hard you're crying? Laughing is also a way for your body to release this tension. Your body is a miraculous machine and it needs to release negative energy in some way to keep on running. Perhaps you've been extra busy lately, or have had an extra amount of stuff on your mind...? Either way, your body is trying to regulate itself. It's nothing to be worried about.


She gotta nice a$$ but i dont think tha girl can really act. But damn id wanna have hurr 4 wun night. I'd give n e thing

Given the fact that women usually have higher metabolic rates than men therefore, women usually have a slightly higher pulse rate than men.\n\nKeep in mind that there are many other factors that have a much more significant impact on pulse rate than gender.


I've never seen the show and was reading the "memorable quotes" from www.imdb.com which made me curious as to how it ended.  Happy or sad?  Don't worry.  You're not spoiling anything.  I probably won't ever watch it but I was just curious.  Thanks!

It ended on a rather happy note. Mostly every one that was a main character survived. There of course was the lose of one main character that got to every ones heart. One character sacrificed him self but in the end came back as a roll on Angel. They fought the battle of good versus evil and good prevail. All the slayer powers weredistributed to all future or potental slayers. Any thing more feel free to email me and I can give more detail. Oh by the way it was one of my favorite series ever.


I am going out with this guy and he is really quiet. When I alone with him he really opens up. But I am a really outgoing person. Is there somthing we could that would makes us both confortable?? We have been friends a bit and spend a lot of time together.

He will probably always be shy. Then again there's always drugs and alcohol...


IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD, WHY DID HE MAKE MY MUM SUFFER FOR A YEAR WITH A AWFUL ILLNESS, THEN TAKE HER AWAY FROM HER HUSBAND, CHILDREN, GRANDCHILD AND REST OF THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SHE WAS A GOOD PERSON, A YOUNG PERSON WHO WANTED TO STAY WITH HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS

There is no good answer to that question.   Sorry for your losses.


I need help with a sample letter that I can write to a contractor for work not completed and for work completed but not to my satisfaction, that he is trying to collect for. He did not complete part of the work and the work he did complete was shoddy and I had to hire someone else to tear out his work. He also took WAY longer than necessary to TRY and complete the work. Not to mention that he talked down to me and treated me like I did not know what I was talking about. I have been working on my own house doing remolding for over 6 years, I know a LITTLE (sarcastically) more about contruction than he was willing to give me credit for.

I am a superintendent with a General Contractor & can tell you exactly what to write, but I need specific information. Please e-mail me at sdavis@sadavisinvestments.com so I can find out more about your situation.\n\nBe careful about other answers - you must be very specific on how you word this letter.


Who do you think is the best CB in the NFL? Beside Champ Bailey. Another CB that's not the Champ. I'd have said it was Ty Law, for the overall. But for most promise, DeAngelo Hall (I'm pretty sure that's his name.) of the Falcons is looking gooooddddddd....

Screw that - I'll go with Champ Bailey.  You want the best?  He's the best.  He doesn't always have the stats... because quarterbacks know not to throw in his direction.  When they do, Bailey usually does an excellent job of neutralizing his opponent and picking off a pass or two.


Why are us gays so hated on yes were gay big deal but hey there are much worse people out there so why is someone being gay such a problem!!!

The issue of homosexual behavior has had a lot of publicity of late. Homosexuals say that the slaves have been freed and women have been liberated, so gay rights are long overdue. Society does seem to be moving in that direction. Many homosexuals are "coming out" and openly declaring their homosexuality. In many parts of the western world, homosexual couples receive the same recognition as heterosexual couples with regard to social security benefits. Some church leaders are giving their blessing to homosexual relationships, homosexual church members and even homosexual ministers.Since other groups who have been discriminated against (such as women, blacks and the disabled) have been given equal opportunity, homosexuals claim that they, too, should be liberated. However, as one Christian expert has said...\n\n"Gender, race and impairment all relate to what a person is, whereas homosexuality relates to what a person does."1\n\nIn contrast, homosexuals claim that scientific studies have shown that there is a biological basis for homosexuality.\n\nThree main studies are cited by "gay rights" activists in support of their argument2—Hamer's X-chromosome research,3 LeVay's study of the hypothalamus,4 and Bailey and Pillard's study of identical twins who were homosexuals.5\n\nIn all three cases, the researchers had a vested interest in obtaining a certain outcome because they were homosexuals themselves. More importantly, their studies did not stand up to scientific scrutiny by other researchers. Also, "the media typically do not explain the methodological flaws in these studies, and they typically oversimplify the results".6 There is no reliable evidence to date that homosexual behavior is determined by a person's genes.\n\nTo the extent that biological or social factors may contribute to a person's bent toward homosexual behavior, this does not excuse it. Some people have a strong bent towards stealing or abuse of alcohol, but they still choose to engage or not engage in this behavior—the law rightly holds them accountable.\n\nThe final report of the Baptist Union of Western Australia (BUWA) Task Force on Human Sexuality states 'that a person becomes a homosexual ultimately by choosing to be involved in same-sex activity... This is in contrast to innate characteristics such as gender and ethnicity.'7 The report affirms that 'the Bible is clear that sin involves choice, and it unequivocally condemns homosexual behavior as sin'.7\n\nThe foundational teaching on marriage and sexual issues is found in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. When Jesus was questioned about marriage, He referred to these 2 chapters (Matthew 19:1-12; Mark 10:1-12). Genesis teaches us that 'male and female He created them' (Genesis 1:27). We were created to a plan—male and female complementing each other. That is, God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, nor Madam and Eve.The Bible not only describes homosexual behavior as detestable, but it also calls for the punishment of those involved (Leviticus 20:13). Their unrepentant attitude caused God to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25).\n\nJust as homosexual conduct has been punished in the past, so it will also be punished by God in the future.\n\n"...Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).\n\nHope

DO you feel that a two year education and transfering to a University is better? OR Do you feel that it is better to go straight to a four year university from high school?

If you can afford it and get into one, then going to a 4 year right out of school is the way to go. Usually 2 years are cheaper, for people who don't have the grades, or people who don't feel ready for a 4 year school. In the end, the diploma will say the 4 year school's name anyway. However, sometimes you take classes at a 2 year and they don't transfer to the 4 year so it was a waste of time. Good luck!


this does not mean that i stay late cause i have work at 8.000 am but just hate to sleep , or to be more precise , i dont feel sleepy at nights but i do at mornings

Becuz since you don't feel sleepy at night ,, you try to stay up awake as much as you can,, so you fall asleep for a few hours then you have to go to work,, so you'll feel tired and sleepy becuz you didnt get enough sleep,, that's why you have to try sleeping earlier even tho you hate it,, so you'd have energy when you go to work :-)


I'm talking about middle school boys here.

I guess it depends on the boy, huh? I would say the best way to find out is to ask if they like you or not. Usually I think middle shcool boys flirt like when we were in third grade! (Minus the cooties thing!) But I think middle school boys (atleast when I was middle school) can be kinda mean. So just take the cruelity as kindess and hope for the best of you like them back!


I usually fall asleep hard and fast, but when I have a lot on my mind, I have trouble sleeping. Anybody have any advice?\n\n(Good night, I'm off to *try* to sleep.)

ON THOSE OCCASSIONS THAT YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR MIND, WRITE IT DOWN.  DON'T WORRY ABOUT GRAMMER OR PUNCUATION JUST WRITE. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND ONTO THE PAPER.  KEEP IT ON DON'T IT IS UP TO YOU.  HOPE IT HELPS.


I want to go to college but I afrida they won't accept a special ed person. I don't won't pay the $50 or more application fee and then get turn down and waste my money.\nIs there any way that will help me have an higher chance to get acceptedin a college

If you get your guidance counselor to write and sign an application waiver, you should be able to submit the application for free. At my university, they took people with a variety of learning disabilities...so I bet you will get in.


My daughter owes me over $3000.00 for about 5 years and not a dime has been paid on it. Being my daughter I trusted her and I my self have kept tract of every dime she borrowed from me never thinking she would not pay it back I never had her sign any kind of agreement. It is an oral agreement.\nI would like to garnishee her wages rather then to go to court on it.

Only the court can issue orders to garnish wages. It's called Writ of Garnishment.\nOnce you go to court and win the judgment and your daughter doesn't pay, the court can issue the garnishment.\n\nAlthough, it would definitely put more stress on an already troubled relationship.  You just have to decide what is right.


I am not knocking your answers, I think I have read all your answers,I am just curious how someone builds a point of view like yours. You seem very intellegent and open minded. I look forward to your next answer to anyone's question. May peace be upon you!

Thank you for the compliment.  I am on a constant search for knowledge.  And that is in all aspects.  I will never pre-judge anyone or anything if I have no understanding of them.  That is prejudism and I am by far not that.  But if I have understanding, I will speak for or against it.  My Peace Be Upon You as well.


IT depends upon the type of job you have.  If, for example, your job is something that requires coverage of a phone or help desk or dealing with hospital patients, your proposal probably won't happen.  If your job is basically one that has weekly or monthly deadlines, but some days are wild and others are not, you may be able to get it done.\n\nWrite up a proposal.  Emphasize that while imporving employee satisfaction (yours!), it will not cost the company any more money.  Show how your being gone one day a week will not harm the current information flow and operation of the business.  Show how your work day would be, specifying when and how long breaks will be.  Show how being there an extra 1.5 hours/day will add to productivity overall for both you and the business.  I'd try to not tie it to yourself exactly, more to the position you are currently holding.\n\nBest wishes!

If there are no permanent effects, what are the typical short-term effects and how to get rid of them ASAP?

There are no permanent to my knowledge, other than you'll be a hypocritical parent someday.  Short term effects... cotton mouth, short term memory loss, finding stupid things hilarious (Blue Beard the Pirate or the Tick) and couch potatoitis.  How to combat the effects drink Arizona Green Ice Tea or Mountain Dew and get outdoors.\n\n(All my high school friends smoked, but I never did.  My mom used to smoke so it was a form of rebellion.)  : )


question con`t \nyour phone number yes or no and why

I find it hard to give out my phone number to people I have known for a few months let alone a few days.  I would consider waiting it out and making sure things are smooth.  Your age and privacy should be taken into consideration. as well.  If you are under 18 and living at home you might want to make sure you and your parents can handle an onslaught of calls if they start coming in.

My 19-year-old sister's crying all over because her boyfriend has cheated on her. As her 20-year-old brother and her only blood-relative left, I hugged her and tried to comfort her.\nAt all sudden, my 18-year-old girlfriend came and saw me cuddling and consoling my sister, lying next to her.\nI haven't been able to explain anything, she's already ran and cried...\n\nWhat should I do now? Is it all my fault?

I think your girlfriend is a bit on the immature side and jumped to the wrong conclusion when she saw you laying down cuddling your sister. God bless you for being such a loving big brother and consoling your sister.\n\nGive your girlfriend time to calm down, then talk to her. Explain why you were consoling your sister, that's all. I think she will realize that she overreacted. I hope so.


i just a high school student so pls.. no high-funda formulae and all that.

General relativity is the geometrical theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. It unifies special relativity and Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation with the insight that gravitation is not viewed as being due to a force (in the traditional sense) but rather a manifestation of curved space and time, this curvature being produced by the mass-energy content of the spacetime.\n\nmore info for you :)

wat should i do i love my ex he don't want to loose me

You should respect his wishes and get on with your life. That sounds tough, but if he does love you, he'll come back once he realises you've moved on. If he doesn't, it would never have worked anyway...


i heard that it's a frog somewhere in the arizona, but i cant remember the name....

It is hard to say which animal would get this prize. A poisonous animal carries harmful chemicals called toxins. Usually, these toxins are used for defense, and are stored in the skin or in special glands. Compare these creatures to venomous animals, which deliver their toxins by stinging, stabbing, or biting.\n\nPoisonous creatures don't intend to hurt other creatures, which is why they have bright colors and markings that send a clear message: "Don't touch!" If a predator ignores that warning, he might not get a second chance. One swallow, or even a little taste testing, and it's all over. The toxin will stop the heart or lungs from working, and death will follow.\n\nThe poison arrow frog and certain salamanders would have to top most people's list of "The World's Most Poisonous Animals." Just two micrograms of toxin from the poison arrow frog is enough to kill a human. A "microgram" is a very small amount. The ink in the period at the end of this sentence will weigh around six micrograms.\n\nWhat about venomous animals? A good example of defense can be found in stonefish. They store their toxin in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators. This homely creature will win no beauty prize, but deserves honor and respect for being "The World's Most Venomous Fish."\n\nToxins also are designed to kill prey or, at least, slow them down. This is the tactic used by many snakes. The prize for "The World's Most Venomous Snake" goes to the inland taipan of Australia. But the top prize, "The World Most Venomous Animal," should go to the box jellyfish, which is found in the waters around Asia and Australia. They have long tentacles with stings at the very ends.\n\nHospitals often carry medicines that work against venom, but treatment has to be very fast to counteract the toxins of these prize-winning creatures


Just Really Curious, to enlarge my NBA knowledge. And another question, can you jump when shooting a free-thorw in the NBA?

A team can theoretically "lose" home court advantage by losing a home game in the series.\n\nLet's say for example, the Clips have home court advantage against the Nuggets during a seven game series. Hypothetically speaking, the home team should win each game. The Clippers have 4 games at home, while the Nuggets have 3 games at home. If the Nuggets get a win on the Clippers home floor, they steal away home court advantage. The Clippers would have 3 more games at home, while the Nuggets have 3 more games at home with a win under their belts, therefore "stealing" home court advantage. Hopefully you understood that.\n\nAnd yes, you can jump when shooting a free throw as long as you don't pass the free throw line.


Ok, it's a fact that microwave heat up food by making water molecules orientate themselves to the electric field of the microwave radiation and produce friction between the water molecules (generating heat energy).\n\nIf the microwave radiation is just there to change the orientation of the water molecule, were does all the microwave radiation generated go? Is it absorbed by the water molecules in order to change their orientation and produce heat?

The microwave contains a Faraday cage, part of which is made up of the wire mesh you can see within the glass door. \n\nFaraday cages are essentially a hollow conductor. Any microwaves which are not absorbed by the food will be absorbed by the Faraday cage and result in a current flowing through the cage. This prevents the microwaves from leaving the oven, and protects the microwave user from being cooked along with the food.


I am looking at working at a law firm as a legal secretary and since I would like to relocate to Los Angeles, I could have a second job by working from home for extra cash for extra income toward rent and everything else which can really help my future out. My question is should I do this as I plan to do and is it a good idea?

Sure, why not.  Since you'll be working with lawyers, be careful to avoid anything that might be seen as a conflict of interest (e.g., doing extra work for a client of the firm and getting paid under the table for it -- that's a definite no-no).  L.A. is kind of expensive so you'll need all the income you can get.  Good luck.


i recently got dell web pc from my friend and when he had it it was completely perfect picture color and about 1 week ago i reinstalled windows 98 into the computer and now all of a sudden all it has that it will allow me to change to is either 2 bit or 16 bit colors wich suck! im currently on 16 and on 16bit theres dots everywhere and you can barely see pictures,nothing is clear. on 2 bit its black and white and dots everywhere.........plz help

You need to download new drivers for your video card and monitor.  I have no idea what kind of Dell you have, but you should be able to go to their web site and look it up based on either the label on the computer or the Service Tag # or whatever it's called.

Bush just frightened by his own mistake. through the experience war just cause damage and angger among the folks. how long this could be? opinion please...

The way I see it, he should be taken out of office.  There was this whole deal about Clinton, and how he should be taken out of office for f*cking one woman.  Bush has f*cked this entire nation and is responsible for many deaths of US citizens for no PROVEN reason.  Why isn't he being taken out of office?!?!?


i am the manufacturer of pressure cookers and exclucive mirror finish cooking utencils in karnal haryana and i want to sell my products on yahoo shopping how can i do so please provide guidelines and terms and conditions including terms of payment.

All you have to do is go to yahoo auctions. You fill out the account information and agree to the terms and condition. Usually they will ask you to set up a credit card with them wich is totally cool cuz of the security and privacy conditions. Like a regular auction site. Then you just sign in with your username and password. Click sell stuff and start listing...very simple!!


i wonder, because god can smite people n jesus is a person (or so religious clubs think).\njesus cant hide, but he can apparently bring himself to life, plus if he choses not to believe he is safe right..hmm no bcos then he would not exist. im looking for some really depe answers on this one. come on people lets get these two appartitions in the arena and lets have it out!

God would win because Jesus is God's son


The account was in her name. I never filed for bankruptcy. This is 4 years after the divorce. She had added me as a user. There is 280.00 owed to the overdraft protection. The bank sent me a letter stating the account was closed due to the bancruptcy filed by her. Will this show on my credit?

There is so much more to this story. But if you are divorced she has no legal right to add you to the account and you are not responsible. In fact if you had nothing to do with it, it is a felony. Talk to her bank and ask them how you were added without your signature. Get anything you can in writing such as what was spent on the account and write down who you talked to and when. Sounds harsh but you don't really want to have this effect your credit do you? It will and be a huge hassle later if you are not proactive.


Do you think less of the person? A friend of mine told me people feel sorry for those who come alone to watch a movie? Is this true? Need honest answers. I personally don't care much what people will think, but, it will be interesting to know what you really think?

I agree with blissfuldeedee above...Far from feeling sorry or thinking less of that person, I would admire that person. I admire strong independent persons who don't need to always have a "sidekick" to be able to do something. Is there a rule that you always have to have someone with you to do something??? The world is full of bigots. I know you're not one of them.

nothing to sexual, just something to get that playful banter going

Anything mildly amusing, but vaguely sexual is great for flirting.  A past experience that fits the bill is perfect.\n\nIf you want small-talk instead of flirting, leave  out the sexual part.


I think every one has them...they're little bumps on the areoler (sp?) of the nipple. what are those things? why do some people have more or less? and can you get rid of them?

I think you are describing Montgomery glands, perfectly normal part of your breast anatomy. They secrete a waxy substance that helps keep your nipple supple.\n\nhttp://www.susanlovemd.com/faq/nipple/nipple-rash.html\n\nhttp://imaginis.com/breasthealth/breast_anatomy.asp\n\nYou can't get rid of them, they help keep your nipples healthy, so learn to love them!


I think all of us are making stupids for ourselves by recommending silly things to those serious issues. let"s stop it.

"LIVING" ??? As opposed to????\n\nI suggest a relationship that is ALIVE, metaphorically speaking,  is one that has vibrance, intrigue, offers new possibilities in its context, holds us to it even when forces work against that possibility, causes joy, as well as the possibility of an occassional ache, etc etc etc\n\n\nRev.

every girl needs to be a little more open to guys that come up to them and want to have a consvesation with them. who knows, the guy could be nice and it could turn into a good relationship.. girls i've seen are worried about how much money someone makes, what kind of car he drives, whats his social standing is. not to be mean, but the most girls i've seen do this is girls that are hot and have hot friends..girls that have fat or ugly friends you know they are a little less judgemental and guys are more inclined to go up and talk to them because they know the girl will not just tell him to go away, some actually will talk for a little bit and even possibly give a number. my point is girls get to emotionally attached to guys and should be a little more open and look for other guys instead of just hangind around one or trying to find ways to make him jealous i mean come on theres a lot of guys out there who would like to have a chance with a beatiful girl

Well i really dont agree on a certain level. b/c every gilr aint the same.  I really dont care if u cant afford a car. As long as you like me for me and RESPECT me adn wouldnt do anything to hurt me then we are cool.  i also gotta have a good time with you too in order for me to like you, u also gotta make me laugh.  Well i think that girls should open up to the guys to a certain extent2.


According to words on paper, Jesus was executed by the Roman State by crucifixion.\n\nHad the events happened in the last century, the State would have electicuted Jesus instead of crucifying him.\n\nAs a symbol of Christianity, the electric chair would be appropriate.\n\nCan you see yourself wearing a gold electric chair with Jesus strapped into it around your neck?

Oh, Dude! I thought I was the only one who saw the irony in the cross as a symbol of faith! I'd rather focus on Jesus with the lambs and children than a reminder of when Jesus was cruelly maimed. For an example, I like Stevie Ray, but I would never wear a mangled-up helicopter charm to honor his memory.....


hey what do you guys think about the Vancouver Canucks getting rid of Marc Crawford?and whos next?

it was crow's time. he hadn't done anything with a stellar group and he had to get canned and bear the punishment. I think that they will stick wiht the triplets (Carter and the Sedins) but Jovo is next, then watch for Bert and Morrison. Maybe watch for a new goalie to be brought in.


My boyfriend.  He is tall, black and bald.  Athletic body.  I have known him for 6 years and he still gives me butterflies.

I have been in colorguard/winterguard my high school life and really have a passion for it now. i need something to keep me going in the biological sciences major cuz i heard its tough..well thanks for any help

Here's their website.  You could probably email them to find out.\n\nhttp://camb.ucdavis.edu/camb/main.html


ived like her for this whole year and we have been very close. but i dont think that she would ever feel the way i feel about her

Off of the main question but she might actually already have the same feelings for you and could very well be going through the same delema. For the main question I'd say maybe being more affectionit to her in your actions. A hug for a few seconds longer than usually might show her your feelings without actually confirming her believes if she dosent feel the same.


i mean really did God just put down a chicken and a rooster and tell them to get busy or did an egg hatch and produce this chicken and if so-how did the egg get there?

This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?


This has never happened.  I usually work like clockwork and thought it might regulate me.  Drawbacks?  How long before unprotected sex is safe if I don't wait to start them?

You can start on birth control pills whenever you want. However, here's how the intial protection works. If you start the pill on the first day of your period, you will have protection from day one. However, if you start at any other time in your cycle, you should use another form of contraception for the first seven days. This simply has to do with the way the pill works, in conjunction with how your cycle works.


Oh, this has happened so many times, it's not even funny.\n\nAs mentioned already, Venom and Spider-Man has teamed up to beat Carnage, but also, Punisher and Spider-Man has teamed up, Spider-Man and Sandman has teamed up to take on the Sinister Six... I know Spidey has teamed up with a few other ex-enemies as well.  There's been other less notable characters that started out as criminals, but have since turned sides thanks to Spidey, such as the Prowler, Rocket Racer, Will O The Wisp to name a few.\n\nNot only that, but Magneto has teamed up with the X-men before, and so has Wolverine with Sabretooth - back in their Weapon X days, and also Juggernaut has been part of the X-men for some time now.  \n\nIn the X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse game, the X-men teamed up with the Brotherhood to fight Apoc.\n\nCaptain America had at one time, dated Diamondback, who was part of the Serpent Society.\n\nI can't think of any others right now, but will add more later, time permitting.


I really hate mondays......Did everyone have a good weekend

Yes, Monday's are tough! My friend always complains about Monday's and I never used to really understand why it p*ssed her off so much, but recently for me Monday's have been a real struggle! \n\nWeekend was okay though.\n\nI met a fireman today through work! He was very nice ;-)\n\n...thanks


i want to study in uk?\nhow should i do pls?\nbut i dont have money.\ncan i get schollarship?\nhow can i get schollarship?

First of all - this is not a crying matter.\nIt is a matter to think about.\nIf your own country cannot provide the type of course you wish to go in for, then you need another country.\nIf you dont have money then work in your own country first and earn the money.\nIt is not easy to get scholarship.  Even if you do, you need \nmore money for your upkeep.

My boyfriend and my best girlfriends went to vegas 4 a weekend. My bestfriend is very flirty and friendly but she started with my boyfriend. She asked him for a piggy-back ride and he gave it to her. Then she took pictures with him with her arms around him and he around her. My boyfriend also loves to talk and well I noticed that most of the talk was towards her and not the other girls. I know how she is but should I let it bother me? I mean she's not a backstabber but I just didn't like seeing them flirting.

Yes, it should bother you.  Because she is your friend doesn't mean you should put complete trust in her.  People you feel you can trust are the ones that WILL STAB YOU IN THE BACK! Besides, friends are supposed to respect eachother.  Right now she is not and neither is your boyfriend.  Be careful, because it sounds like there maybe something going on or about to happen.  If you want to avoid problems and don't want anything to come between your friendship, then put a stop to it now...\n\nGood Luck!


I recieved an email from a collection agency stating that my offer to pay them 200 dollars a month is not acceptable and that all I can do is be put on a short term payment plan for up to 3 months at which time the account would be due in full again. They also say that I need to fill out a Financial Capacity form to prove that I am not able to pay the debt in full at this time. What should I do from here? \nThank you

Whoa.  Here's my 2 cents.  The difference between a paid collection and unpaid is the diff. between being hit by a car or truck.  Not much, cuz they both hurt like hell. The damage is done, so why pay?  If a letter was all that was required to remove derogs from your credit, wouldn't everyone be able to get one?  Fact is fact, so I've been reading all this about getting letters and removing and blah blah blah.  There's one simple way to remove derogs.  If you're conscience drives you to pay, that's something you've got to deal with.  As for forms, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION OR SIGN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!


A drop in two buckets\n\nPercy and Hortence went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, but they were presented with a problem. Percy needed exactly four liters of water, yet he only had two buckets, on five liter bucket and one seven liter bucket. How can Percy measure out four liters using only the two buckets? Percy has unlimited water supply, and he can not make any accurate marks on the buckets.\n\nHortence solved the problem immediately. Can you?\n\nHint~\n\n*There is no way of making any markings on the buckets\n\n*There is an unlimivted supply of water.\n\n*You are a "perfect pourer". This means that you will never spill any water.\n\n*Once you start pouring from one bucket to another, you can only stop once the bucket you are pouring becomes empty or the bucket you are pouring into becomes full.

I love this.\n\nFill the 7 liter pail.\n\nPour into 5 liter pail.\n\nLeft with 2 liters in 7 liter pail.\n\nEmpty 5 liter pail.\n\nPour the 2 liters from the 7 liter pail into the 5 liter pail.\n\nFill 7 liter pail.\n\nPour into the 5 liter pail til full.\n\nLeft with 4 liters in 7 liter pail.\n\n:)


Fantastic...does he deliver no matter the weather?

lmao, that's so cute. How old are you? Only 20 minutes? Don't you have any buses or other forms of public transportation around you or something?


I am hoping to meet other Naturists in Southern California.

what are your own likes and dislikes and such on this topic?

Agressive women can be very erotic and exciting...but too aggressive women can be scary!  \n\nSomething as making a first move, it would be a plus for the woman.  A lot of the times, especially if the man likes you, we are always thinking of ways to break that "block of ice"...and if you do it first...Wow, you got something coming your way!


i almost ejaculate in the night almost daily

really? wow where do u live? just kidding! :) maybe try some self love (this thing would not let me say the m word) b4 u go to bed. if the deed is already done maybe it might not happen again later?\ni guess u think this is a real bad thing, but i think its cool, do you have like real good dreams & it happens or no dreams when it just happens? \n\nsorry to ask so much. I can barely have one when i am awake, but i have been unhappy. it sure has never happen in my sleep even when i was happy! does this happen to woman to? \n\ni say try to take matters into your own hand(s). or find a lady friend to help with all that uh stress!


he has to face court what could happen if he is found guilty we living in victoria melbourne

He was probably doing something to make the police think he had a weapon, so I'm sure he's not completely innocent. But possession of a non-lethal weapon is a misdemeanor. If he does any jail time at all, which I doubt, he'll get 30 days in county. More than likely, he'll probably have to pay a fine and/or do community service.


Was given a loan but i now wish to change my mind.Was told that there is no way to cancel.Have heard about 5day cooling of period,but told by company,this doesnt apply as agreement sighned on premises.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

All refinance loans have a 3 day recission period (not counting weekends or holidays). If it was a purchase, I think you're pretty much SOL.\n If I were you, I would contact the Lender directly. The Agent wants their money and if your loan doesn't fund, they don't get paid.


By using it six times a week for at least 45 minutes.

This may help you a bit. Do your cardio on an empty stomack, this will cause your body to directly target fat deposites for energy but you have to eat within 10 minutes after your workout or your body will seek protiens which would be bad because the more muscle you have (Even a little) the more calories you burn when doing nothing.\n\nDo the cardio at least 3 times a week for 30 to 60 minutes (Do not exceed 60 minutes unless you do it twice a day 60 each). Purchase a HRM (See link) this will make your heart rate show up on any polar compatable machine (Most are compatable). Keep your heart rate at in the fat burning zone or higher. Higher will burn more calories hence more fat but just no as efficiently, i.e. the percentage of carbs burned with increase as your intensity rises.\n\nSwitch some of the things in your died. Throw out all of your bread and buy Ezekiel bread. Limit your dairy, choose brown rice and sweet potatoes as opposed to the regular types. Stop eating junk food and snacks and hold your breath when driving by fast food resturaunts lol.\n\nThe most effective way to burn fat and furm up is to incorporate some form of resistance training into your workout. You would actually see more results if you cut back on your cardio to 4 or 5 times a week and hit the wieghts 3 times per week. Speak with a certified fitness trainer, they will set you in the right directions. \n\nGood luck.


Just curious because sometimes I wonder if the effort of recycling doesn't waste more energy. All the hot water that we use to clean empty containers and the effort and fuel that goes into the truck and crew to pick it up has to cost us. Should we be looking into waste reduction ie: less packaging and throwing out fewer items? Could making more intelligent choices about what we buy to begin with be the true solution?

I think it does help. In Europe they have a policy that most of a building has to be recycled.  It does take energy to recycle, but over all it takes more energy to make it from scratch.  Not to mention the limited resources that are depleted and destroyed over time.  Just my two cents and your millage may very.  :)


NLP is nuero-linguistic-programming. You use certain words, phrases, images and body gestures to manipulate peoples minds. It is used to get the desired effect out of people. Men use it to pick up woman, advertising agency use it to sell their product, politics and government use it to pull the curtain over our eyes. Ill compare it to a computer image. All of the CODED WORDS that they use to make the image you see on a computer screen are the sneeky tools/codes, like words and phrases, the seducer uses. The pretty IMAGE designed to give a receptive, fun, enjoyable and desired time is what you see when the tools/codes are used successfully. Look at the screen and all of the images in front of you. Right click on the screen and click View Source, this is what you would see without the tools/codes needed to cover up what is really there. Would you still be with this site if you always had to see the code. An amatuer using this would be like going back and forth, a pro would look this.

Well, I guess everyone today has been a victim of it. Neuro Linguistic Programing is a very effective tool used by Intelligence agencies, Ad agencies, the media, the governments etc. It has been in use since very very long time but the name NLP has been given only a few years back. I would say it is good thing if used appropriately to disseminate knowledge, information and rules to lead a good life in oredr to make this world a better place for all.

Cash is right, check out the rules; make sure you haven’t violated any of them (remember you can’t post any content which incites, threatens, undermines the security of our nation, or could be considered libel or slander).  Chances are you broke one of their rules.  If you read the terms of service, Yahoo isn’t responsible for lost content.\n\nI sent you an e-mail; I have a contact at FOX who might do me a little favor (don’t laugh, they’re not all bad) and I've been published in USA Today. Give me as much detail as you can about what was on the BLOG. No promises, but I'll try.\n\nIf you're sure you didn't break any rules and your BLOG was pulled strictly for the anti-war comments, are you sure you're ready to become the poster child of the Democratic Party and feedom of speech?\n\nA little advice, if you start up another BLOG or 360, keep a copy all of your content offline; I do.


I'm looking for an answer for a high school physics class, just need to know the standard measure.

Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 325 Pa = 101.325 kPa = 1013.25 hPa = 1013.25 mbar = 760 Torr. This definition is used for pneumatic fluid power (ISO R554), and in the aerospace (ISO 2533) and petroleum (ISO 5024) industries.

Me and my boyfriend have had sex. My parents always told me that if I ever had sex b4 I was married that I would go to hell... That, that was a sin. But my boyfriend who isnt as religous as I am told me I wouldnt. that I only would go to hell if I had sex with someone i really didnt love or sold my body. Is this True???

OK!! First things first!! God loves you - even though you had sex with your boyfriend. Secondly - it was wrong of your parents to tell you you would go to hell if you did - wrong!! That is just their way of trying to prevent you from having sex with you bf!! You should try reading some of the great promises God gives us in the bible - that will encourage you. Dont always just listen to your parents - check it out with the lord - prayer always works for me!!


If you want to know about a currently living tree, then this is it.  Ten thousand feet up in California's White Mountains lives the oldest living thing on Earth. It is a bristlecone pine that was around when the Egyptian Pyramids were built. Ironically, after weathering all the droughts, high winds, and lightning strikes that must have struck over the millennia, the nearly 5,000-year-old Methuselah Tree now faces threats from the one force of nature that seemingly can do it harm: people.


Ok, the people saying that they rape Iraqi women are just plain wrong.  This DOES NOT HAPPEN.  AT ALL.  Their people get pissed if we so much as talk to or look at their women.  I once saw a woman damn near get beaten down because she approached us.  Given their culture, prostitutes don't exist over there.  I'd heard of some army guys going gay, but never heard of it in the Marines.  We pretty much dedicated an entire room to *pleasuring* oneself.  Go in, lock the door, enjoy yourself, and come back out and let the next guy in line go.  As far as sex with women soldiers, I guess it's possible, but if they get caught, they'd probably get NJP'd with everything the UCMJ could throw at them.


the vector from origin to point A is given by (6,-2,-4),and the unit vector directed from the origin towards point B is (2,-2,1)/3.If points A and B are ten units apart, find the coordinates of point B.

Okay, first, since the vector given for B is a unit vector, we know that the vector from the origin to B must be given by (some constant)*(2,-2,1)/3.  So, what you want to do is find the value of that constant such that |A-B|=10.  Do this by setting A-B=(6-2x/3, -2+2x/3, -4-x/3).  Then just find the length of that vector in terms of x, set it to 10, and solve for x.


Democracy is "Government for the people, by the people". (Interesting that I remember that from junior high, but not the definition of a Republic.) So if Democracy is "Mob Rule", then why is there a party that supports it? The Constitution makes provisions for a Republic, but makes no mention of a Democracy. The 2 party system seems rather inefficient to me. What are your thoughts? And, what is a Republic by definition? \nBTW, I am affiliated with neither party.

A democracy is a form of government where decisions are made by the people.\n\nIn a "direct democracy" every citizen votes for every decision.  This includes who will occupy each office and each government job, and every law and rule, as well as enforcement of laws.\n\nIn a "republic," the citizens elect representatives to offices and the elected representatives make decisions on hiring employees and passing and enforcing laws.\n\nFor a country the size of the U.S., a direct democracy would be infeasible.  Both the Republican and Democratic parties favor a republican form of government.\n\nThe Republican Party generally sides with the interests of wealthy people.  Although they claim to favor conservative financial practices and smaller government, they do not follow those beliefs when in office.\n\nThe Democratic Party generally favors the interests of middle class and poor people.  They are more receptive to deficit spending and financial support of poor people.


I get this a lot.  When I change my hairstyle my white coworkers always want to touch my hair.  I feel it's rude!!!  Please someone explain.

We arent trying to be rude. We just want to see how it feels. Like me for instance, I cant understand when you get your hair up and looking pretty, how does it not go flat when you go to sleep? If I fixed my hair like that it would probably go flat before I laid down on it. Anyways, we arent trying to be rude we are just curious


we have repoted it to the department of community service many times and the police in australia but the person who is the abuser is very violent and we have tried to intervene in many ways butb have always came to a roadblock

i would expect the law in aus is the same as uk.\n\nyou must phone the local police, you should have a visor unit (violent/ sex offenders register) social services and also criminal investigation department. explain the issues/ evidence and how sensitive the case is to you.\n\nyou must not in any way intervene, you are not qualified and may make the situation worse. i do not belive the police will not act...you must telephone them and give all the evidence

i've posted it before but it is another one. it goes:"answers i've been looking for,/Been here all the time..."


but criticize theists for that same reason?  how is it rational to say with certainty that something does not exist when the possibility will always remain that it does?

I am doing an observation of a school and don't know what to include in the setting. It is for a sociology class. Am I supposed to describe the area where I research and in my case would I give an overall description of the school?

Since it's for sociology, it should focus on people, what they do there, why they are there, and how they interact. Perhaps during a particular time period.


he went to a place where he got help for his behavior in school,but he wasnt the only thing getting him in trouble..anyway all he wants to do is watch tv and kiss but i cant just do that i want to go places and have fun..the prob is i do sorda still like him,but in differant ways i dont.im so confused.

well every1 will say move on....you need better, but i have been there and its so hard to do.  Tell him how you feel.  and i know this is hard to do but....if you have any ANY dbts about him....leave because in the end he is sure to hurt you.


Besides a urine test, what other techniques can they/do they use nowadays?


Just for fun, hoping to help loads of people by posting this question!

i had braces... and let me tell u they were a pain in the rear!!.... but i always got the color that kinda went with a month.  Jan- Carolina Blue, Feb- Red & Pink, March- green, april- pink & blue(spring colors), may- green& blue, june- yellow, july red,white&blue, august-red, september- blue or yellow, october glow in the dark, orange& black, november-yellow & orange, december red and green


I am very self-conscious about mine because I have the silver dollar size, pink nipples. I truly believe most men prefer small aureolas which is why I am not quick to get naked in the bedroom. What is your opinion?

Most men do NOT prefer small aureolas....where did you get that idea? I do not think that size has anything to do with it. Men love the idea of turning another on....you have been led to believe it is the other way around, but it is not. Men want to be the best their mate has ever had...sort of a contest here...all going on inside the guy. Stupid, yes, but true just the same. If a guy is turning you on, let him know it right then and there. This is no place for coyness, believe me. So, get over yourself this instant. Actually, I think most men would be somewhat turned off by smaller ones, ... too much like a man!


And also why do they get angry at Muslim women because they do?\n1 corinthians 11\n\n 5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. \n\n 6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered

That's a very good point. In the early days of Christian religion, Christians were also required to fast (not eat from sunrise to sunset) in certain times of the year. This is similar to what Muslims do. But Christians have given up this tradition just because the early practioners chose what to carry out and the bible was written a long time after Jesus's death. That's why so many things have been lost or modified. In Islam, the Quran was written at the time the Prophet Muhammed  (sm) was still alive. So, there was no chance of it being changed or modified later.


When did these colours come to represent "aussies"...??

These were formally established in a proclamation by the Governor-General, Sir Ninian Stevens, dated 19 April 1984.\n\nGreen and gold are the colours commonly used by Australians when representing their county in international sporting events. These are the predominant colours found on many species of Wattle, namely, green foliage and golden inflorescences.


Fear, confusion, despair are all clsing in, but I am standing firm. Not by my strength though. I ask not for answers, but pray. Please I have asked before and miracles have happened before my eyes. Please I need all the prayer I can get.

Rebuke the spirits that are coming against you in the name of JESUS CHRIST.  We are told that we have been given power to do such, and many times the only reason we are tormented is because we don't stand on what the WORD says.\nWe are not to rejoice in that power, but to rejoice that our names are written in heaven.\n\nyou are in my prayers, but also know that you have authority in the name of JESUS CHRIST.


plz tell me cleary by instructin how xactly i should do

a serious answer from TOUCHY.\n\ncardio and toning (firming) exercises is best. by toning, i mean using light weight or your own body weight in doing squats, lunges, etc. you may have heavy thighs due to genetics. can't do much if this is the case.


People who litter should be fined.  Especially those who throw out all kinds of fast food garbage, cans, bottles and all those beer and ale can and bottles.  Are you having so much fun you don't realize what a mess you're leaving in your wake?

I don't think it has anything with "being a smoker".\nI smoke, I throw away my empty trash in garbage cans. I even hang onto the empty package if there's not a garbage cans nearby.\nPeople stereotype smokers with all kinds of crap.

Fungi can grow in almost any area on or in the body, but certain groups of people are particularly at risk of developing a fungal infection. These include immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from AIDS or leukaemia, cystic fibrosis sufferers often get chest infections caused by fungi, burns patients are very at risk of fungal infections on burnt areas of skin, fungi like to grow in moist warm areas. The most common area i guess is finger and toe nails, especially in summer when folks are taking off their shoes and walking on the grass, a lot of fungal toenail infections are picked up then.\nAs for treatment there are a range of antifungal medicines, it all depends on the species of fungus causing the infection.


in hindu religion  all the chanting mantra start with om ...

Om is a syllable that is said in Hinduism to be in itself God. It is the eternal sound, the sound of the creation of the Earth. It is used in Hindu meditation and meditation of religions that are influenced by Hinduism to help bring peace on the person who is meditating and to become closer to God.


This is from province of Ontario\nand I am just curious bc the papers were delivered by an individual and w/ no envelopes and the papers were photocopied.  I am leaving for a vacation in couple of days and not sure what to do with this.  There was no car accident, and it was a mere stop, check and leave driving situation.  Let me know\nthanks

An officer of the court or a police officer can deliver the papers.  You have to sign for them to certify that you received them.  Call your lawyer or at least the court to reschedule the court date before you go on vacation.  You DO NOT want to miss a court date for a traffic violation!  If you fail to appear a warrant will be issued for your arrest and you could spend your vacation in a local jail.


Aslo how can I covert this to lbs? thanks Clem.

All you need to know to convert N*m to lb*ft is to know that they are both units of torque. Sure, you could say they are both units of length multiplied by force, but that's besides the point. To do a conversion you will need to convert between units, that's just a fact of the matter. Why convert more units then necessary? If you know they are both units of torque, you are already done. Look up the conversion factor and there you go.\n\n1 N*m = 0.737561 lb*ft

He gets them when he wakes up but can stike at any time during the day. Dr said to give him stong paricitamol but that's not solving the problem

I had constant, horrible migraines at that age as well. I did notice that drinking plenty of water helped somewhat because they weren't as debilitating when I happened to drink plenty of water that day.\n\nApparently there still is no known cause or cure for them, however the good news is that they go away on their own. I personally got them again around my early twenties after not having migraines for a few years. I wish I could remember the name of the medication I was given this last time they came back because it worked. I remember it was especially for migraines and that the doctor told me to take it as soon as I felt like one was coming and to take it with a glass of cold water. He also gave me another medication in case I didn't take the previous one on time. \n\nLooking back, I think my migraines might have had a lot to do with stress and conflict in the environment you're in. Is your son doing ok at school? Has anything been bothering him for a while? Has he seen a doctor? It's a little scary what the effect of a migraine has not only on your whole body, but in your brain. For example, I never had seizures but apparently you're more succeptible to them if you're having a migraine or something like that. \n\nMigraines can also be a symptom of other things, so hopefully you've already taken him to the doctor, although it's probably nothing serious. Get the poor thing a fan, ear plugs, and a pair of sleep shades. Keep a trash can nearby the bed in case he needs to throw up. A little carafe of water next to his bed wouldn't hurt, unless he likes tea. Chamomille is nice.

What other pieces (classical) do you reccomend for a pretty wedding?

I was a church organist for many years.  At my wedding I had Widor's 'Toccata' (any organist will know what that is as it's a b*&%^y nightmare to play).  'The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' is a good one, even tho you're departing.  Karg-Elert's 'Now Thank We All Our God' (doesn't sound at all like the hymn!) is a nice one, as is Mendelssohn's War March of the Priests.\n\nI've also played the theme to Brideshead Revisited, Love Changes Everything, and A Whiter Shade of Pale (with my teeth firmly gritted).\n\nLots of people like Handel's Water Music, and Jeremiah Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary is very popular.\n\nIf you ask the person who is going to play the music for you, I'm sure they can make other suggestions from their own personal repertoire.  Many organists like to have the chance to play something different than the Bridal and Wedding Marches, so I'm sure they'll be pleased to be given the opportunity to do something different for you.  Some organists even go as far as producing a tape for couples to listen to at leisure, although I didn't.\n\nHope this helps.


i want to have sex with my partner in the sea or bath room deep in the water ...so i afraid if water come to her vagina ...she become sick ...help me to find out the answer .

The only way it could harm her is if the water is unclean or if a jet of water goes up her vagina which wouldn't happen during sex unless you are using the shower hear or water skiing while you do it or soemthing like that, lol. If you REALLY want to have sex in the water, try doing it either in the shower or in the bath, but make sure there is only water in it and not bubble bath or oils or anything, as it's very easy for a woman to get a yeast infection if the pH of her vagina becomes unbalanced.

is this an actual phobia?  Why do men grow hair, do they have any idea how many women are repulsed by hair?  Ew.

No, it's not a "phobia".  You are repulsed by facial hair which is fine and your personal choice.  Everyone is different.  I agree with the mustache deal where the guy waxes or "twirls" the end of his mustache; to me that is gross too.  But I do like "scruffy" day old beards, the rugged look on guys, and mainly guys do it because it is what makes them feel "manly" or good about themselves or the opposite, they just plain don't feel like shaving.  I can understand that, because shaving my legs is a true hassle and I will admit, I get lazy at times and don't shave simply cause I don't feel like it. Bottom line, it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round and there is probably a man out there that feels the same way you do.


bombard with radiowaves?\nmagnetice bottle with veriable courent flow?

Not by bombardment with radiowaves, but bombardment with subatomic particles can remove orbital extra-nuclear electrons (there are no electrons in the nucleus), and can cause instability in the nucleus that leads in some cases to an ejection of neutrons from the nucleus or even disintegration of the nucleus.


All i know is it goes something like "help pour out the rain" but i don't know the rest. sorry for the lack of details but its country and sung by a man. please tell me tha name and artist if you can! i appreciate it!

I love this song. It's by Buddy Jewel and it's called "Help Pour Out The Rain" Here are the lyrics.\n\nThe moment was custom-made to order:\nI was ridin' with my daughter on our way back from Monroe.\nAn' like children do, she started playin' twenty questions,\nBut I never could've guessed one would touch me to my soul.\n\nShe said: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?\n"Are we goin' there to visit, or are we goin' there to stay?\n"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?\n"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,\n"To help pour out the rain?"\n\nWell, I won't lie: I pulled that car right over,\nAn' I sat there on the shoulder tryin' to dry my misty eyes.\nAn' I whispered: "Lord, I wanna thank you for my children.\n"'Cause your innocence that fills them often takes me by surprise."\n\nLike: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?\n"Are we goin' there to visit, or are we goin' there to stay?\n"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?\n"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,\n"To help pour out the rain?"\n\nWell, I thought about it later on,\nAn' a smile came to my face.\nAn' when I tucked her in to bed,\nI got down on my knees an' prayed.\n\nLord, when I get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?\n"I don't wanna come to visit 'cause I'm comin' home to stay?\n"An' I can't wait to see my family and meet Jesus face to face.\n"An' do you think, Lord, you could use just one more Angel,\n"To help pour out the rain?"

How much you want to loose? I lost 18 lbs in 5 weeks by cutting my high carbs,(potatoes, rice, pasta, bread) and drinking 8 glasses of water and sometime have 1 soda.

Someone stated that he belived that there is nothing wrong with torturing anyone who is not an American Citizen in light of America having been subjected to 1 terrorist attact (not caused by a US national), because no-one that is not protected specifically by the American consitution has any rights in international law.  I'm interested to know if this is common current thinking w/in the new belief system that you are developing?

Well, if you read the text of most (most) of the protections guaranteed by the US Constitution, it says "no person"  rather than "no citizen".... which kind of begs the question how some conservative strict constructionalists can argue that "person" really only means "citizen"...\n\nBut I've heard a lot of people say that they don't think non-US citizens should have rights. What's even more frightening is that a lot of people I've talked to think that even US citizens shouldn't have any constitutional protections if they are SUSPECTED of being involved in terrorist activities. The whole "innocent until proven guilty" concept is totally out of the window. At least, according to the Bush administration's current policies (see US v. Padilla).\n\nI'm just stocking up on popcorn (and canned goods) and waiting for the fireworks to start.


I mostly want to know which words will help me decide to do a t-test or z-test and whether to use x-bar or p-hat.

well, first of all, p-hat is a proportion and x-bar is the arithmetic mean. \n\nYou always use the z-test for p-hat. If you're having trouble recognzing what a proportion is, think of it as percent. If you say, "15% of the flowers are purple" then the proportion is .15 (which could, for example, be 15/100). p-hat will ALWAYS be a number between 0 and 1.\n\nUse x-bar when you want to the test the mean. It's a little tricky to decide when to use a t-tets for a z-test and you professor might be more strict than others. I've linked a flow chart below which will help you decide when to use a t-test or z-test but here is a summary of the rules (from the website cited below):\n\n\nZ TEST\n\n       data points should be independent from each other\n\n       z-test is preferable when n is greater than 30.\n\n       the distributions should be normal if n is low, if however n>30 the distribution of the data does not have to be normal\n\n       the variances of the samples should be the same (F test) \n\n       all individuals must be selected at random from the population\n\n       all individuals must have equal chance of being selected\n\n       sample sizes should be as equal as possible but some differences are allowed\n\n\n\nT TEST\n\n       data sets should be independent from each other except in the case of the paired-sample t-test\n\n       where n<30 the t-tests should be used\n\n       the distributions should be normal for the equal and unequal variance t-test (K-S test or Shapiro-Wilke)\n\n       the variances of the samples should be the same (F-test) for the equal variance t-test\n\n       all individuals must be selected at random from the population\n\n       all individuals must have equal chance of being selected\n\n       sample sizes should be as equal as possible but some differences are allowed\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that in some case you may ahve to use a weighted t`. If you don't know what that is, you teacher might not have asked you to know that information.\n\nContact me if you need more info.

where i can pictures of the sonar of the lumps. like how they look like? under xray?

I am not sure how you could be self-diagnosing because in order for you to get an  ultrasound or mammogram, you would need an order from a doctor.\n\nYou can do a search under yahoo images for "x-ray breast cancer" or "ultrasound breast cancer."  I found many examples that way.\n\nFor mammography, remember, different types of breast cancer have different characteristics.  Sometimes, there is no mass, but a cluster of microcalcifications etc.\n\nFor ultrasound, there are nine malignant critieria, including echo shadowing, irregular shape, duct extension, hyperechoic, mass taller than wide and indistinct borders.

I need one example of how genetics come in with obesity. I have things about diabetes and how some people gain and store fat more than others.

Metabolism.  People who are more prone to obesity have ancestors that needed slow metabolisms.  Also, some genetic flaws "turn off" the chemical signal to the brain that the stomach is full.  But mostly, it's environment and cultural heritage.

An airliner experiences engine troubles in-flight from Logan airport to San Francisco. The plane crashes, and all on-board are killed except for a single child, a baby, who amazingly survived. Is this a trajedy or a miracle? Where was god for those other 300 people? I'm sure they all prayed, and many were good honest people. Seems to me if god wanted to perform a TRUE miracle then all 300 people would have survived, rather than just 1. This example is fictional, but real life situations happen every day. A single member of a family lives after a fire or auto-accident. It seems me your god is a sick & perverted monster if it has the power to prevent such things, but chooses not to. It's just as bad as watching a child choke to death and making no effort to help. You are morally guilty of the murder because you had the power to prevent the death, but allowed it to happen.\n\nIt's pathetic that people worship such a pathetic animal like 'god'.

Only to brainwashed religious freaks, who always want to credit GOD with the illogical result, remember people just because there is a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 chance of things happening, there is still 1 chance that it will happen, but when it does all the religions try to credit it to GOD"it had to be a Miracle". Just part of their brainwashing techniques they have implorered over the years.


i have a mongoose 16" black magic bike bought online .there isn't any way i can  elevate the seat  the way i want to and keep it that way....there is a shaft and i can move the seat through that but whenever i seat it goes down back again..plz,anybody?

You probably have a seatpost quick release on your bike. It's probably tight enough that you can't move it with your hands, but when you sit on it, there's far greater force being exerted that is causing the seatpost to slide back into the seattube on the frame.\n\nYou need to ensure that the quick release is tight enough when you flip the lever shut (you don't screw a quick release lever shut; it relies on the compression that comes with the cam-type of action the lever offers).\n\nIf that still doesn't work, I'd replace the quick release with a standard seatpost fixing bolt (non-quick release).

my coworker who's been there like a month longer than me got a new flat screeen monitor.  i started crying becfause i think its bs that i didn't get one.  now my boss wants to have a "talk" with me.  what hsould i be worried about if anything

I'm not sure there is a right or wrong here. The company may have only budgeted for 1 new monitor (for now). I think if anything, your boss may want to talk to your about crying. Sometimes our emotions can get the best of us, but in a work enviorment, we need to be descrete. Crying can be viewed as unprofessional.


We'll be in town on 6/29 to see the Sox vs. Mets. (No, I'm not a Mets fan...Just want to go to Fenway!)  Should I pay $150 now for two bleacher seats, or can I get a better deal outside the stadium?  \n\nAny advice on where to find Sox tickets other than ebay would be helpful too.\n\nTHANKS!

if u can afford to pay that than go ahead and take them now. if pedro happens to pitch that day those 150 dollar seats will jump to over a grand. trust me we are that sick about our red sox.


If you are throwing straight down the lane (as most beginners do), aim for the "pocket".  For a right hander, that is the spot between the head (front) pin and the pin to its right and behind it (i.e. between the 1 and 3 pin...here is a diagram: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/BowlingPins_1000.gif).  If you are left handed, you'd want to throw between the 1 and 2 pins.  Hitting this spot will generate a fair amount of "pin action" (pins colliding against each other), hence knocking them all down for a strike...sometimes.\n\nNow, to get REALLY good at striking, you'll want to throw a ball that hooks into the pocket.  Why?  Because the ball will not deflect away from the pins (as much as a straight ball) when it makes contact.  A straight ball is more easily deflected to the side after making contact with the front pins, often resulting in middle pins left standing (like the 5 pin), even after a perfect pocket hit.  \n\nWhen you throw a ball that hooks, it is not so easily deflected because the ball's rotation, even after making the initial contact, will continue to take it into the middle of the pins, causing maximum pin action.\n\nYou can get fairly good throwing a straight ball (maybe a 170-180 average), but to get to 200+, you will need to learn to throw a hook.


A small disk with mass m and radius r sits at the very top of a larger half-circle disk with radius R.  The half-circle is flat on the ground (the diameter of the full-circle would be level with the ground).\n\nIf the smaller disk is nudged, at what point will the smaller disk lose touch with the larger disk?  There is no slipping, so the smaller disk will rotate as it travels down the slope of the larger disk.

I'll give the framework of the answer, but without doing any of the actual work (math), since I'm on my own free time.\n   Define the key variable to be theta, the angle relative to vertical of the line from the center of the disk to the center of the half-circle.\n   Now, specify the formula for gravitational potential energy of the disk as a function of theta (OK, I'll do that: PE = mgh = mg (R+r) cos(theta) )\n   Now, specify the formula for kinetic energy of the disk as a function of d(theta)/dt.  This has two components, (1)energy associated with the velocity of the center of mass, v = d(theta)/dt * (R+r), [use KE=mv^2/2] and\n(2) energy associated with the spinning of the disk, omega = d(theta)/dt * (R/r + 1) [use KE= I(omega)^2 / 2] (the +1 in that equation is the "gotcha" in this problem)\n  Now, use conservation of energy to equate total kinetic energy to loss of gravitational potential energy.  This equation thus relates theta to d(theta)/dt.  By solving this differential equation with the proper initial conditions, you will get the function of theta versus time.\n   Determine the vertical acceleration by taking second time derivative of (r+R)cos(theta).  When this vertical acceleration equals g, the rolling disk loses touch with the large disk.

I WOULD LOOK AT HYBRID IRONS AND FAIRWAY WOODS, ADAMS GOLF I WOULD RECOMMEND THEY ARE DAM GOOD MANUFACTURES OF GOLF CLUBS, GET FITTED FOR THEM. LENGTH, LIE, GRIP SIZE, FLEX. BAD BACK OR NOT YOU NEED THE TOOLS TO GET YOU AROUND THE COURSE, HAVE YOUR NEXT SET BUILT TO YOUR GAME, NOT OFF THE RACK. ON YOUR BACK PROBLEM I DONT KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE MAGNETS BUT YAHOO SEARCH, JIM COLBERT ON THE CHAMPIONS TOUR SWEARS BY THEM, GRIP IT AN RIP IT


i told him and we was talking on the e for a long time.we went to the movies.a double date but then she just told him to ask her out.but he flirts with every one so he thought it was a joke and he did.she said yes but hes not the person to hurt anyone so he wouldnt break up w/ her.i realllllllyyyyy like this guy but i CANT do any thing about it cause shes my b.f.

Well if she is your best friend (I'm assuming that is what b.f stands for), and she did that to you, knowing how you felt about him, then she obviously doesn't regard friendship like you do! The joke is on you unfortunately! I would suggests you redefine the quality of what a true friend is and is not! Of course your slowness to be to the point with this guy didn't help. Your friend did what you were hesitant to do and succeeded. You partially have yourself to blame. If this guy is a flirt, it is probably just as well she got him. Flirtation tends to lead to jealously and mistrust. You will see it unfold in front of your eyes, then you can thank your lucky stars that she got stuck with him!


My six year old said how come it can burn you and it got me wondering???

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.  The temperature at the surface (where it is sublimating back into gas) is -79 degrees Celsius (about -109 degrees Fahrenheit).\n\nSo yeah, it's really really cold, and if you touch it for too long the tissue damage it creates feels almost exactly like a burn.


pc dumb,pc as gift,need to know how to get sound on my pc very ez instructs thnx pc-NEC MULTISYNC FE700

I feel you are looking for the volume Icon in the right- bottom tray.\n\nFor that you can goto Control panel-->Sounds and multimedia-->on bottom side you will find "Show volume on taskbar" option.Just select that. and you will get the volume control icon on your taskbar
