Need to know the meaning of mintonette in regards to volleyball.....why was the game called mintonette and what did it mean?

William Morgan invented volleyball in 1895 at the Holyoke, Massachusetts, YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) where he served as Director of Physical Education. Morgan originally called his new game of Volleyball, Mintonette. The name Volleyball came about after a demonstration game of the sport, when a spectator commented that the game involved much "volleying" and game was renamed Volleyball.\nWilliam Morgan was born in the state of New York and studied at Springfield College, Massachusetts. Ironically at Springfield, Morgan met James Naismith who invented basketball in 1891. Morgan was motivated by Naismith's game of basketball designed for younger students to invent a game suitable for the older members of the YMCA. William Morgan's basis for the new game of Volleyball was the then popular and similar German game of Faustball and a few other sports including: tennis (the net), basketball, baseball and handball.


Kazaa and Napster had been "caught" by the gov't. Why haven't I heard anything about LimeWire? Is it illegal to download music? Yoy have to pay to install Napster, in addition to that, you pay for each song you download. With LimeWire, if you get Pro, you pay a one time fee. If music download is illegal, why are the songs available? I thought it's illegal if you SELL the product...

If you make an unlicensed copy of a copyrighted work, be it music, video or whatever, you can be in violation of copyright law.\nIt doesn't matter how you make that copy, whether you download it, file-share it, or simply rip a copy of your friend's CD.\nSome sources, for which you pay, include a license fee, a portion of which goes to the copyright holder, so that they get paid for their work...  this makes it a licensed copy, and complies with the rules, so everyone is happy.\n\nCopyright regulations are usually enforced by the copyright holder (or their attorneys), not the government...  in practice, if you are simply ripping a single copy of a CD for your own amusement, they are not going to waste the time and money in tracking you down and taking you to court.\nIf, however, you make copies of their work available online, and hundreds or thousand of copies are being made, then they will take action... especially if somebody else is making money out of it.\n\nThere is a common belief that "If it's on the Internet it's public property"..  it's not, unless the copyright holder has declared it to be "pubic domain" material.  The same is true for pictures that appear on websites.   They're not there to be copied and re-used, although this happens all the time.\n\nThe regulations are not unreasonable... artists make their living from publication revenue...  and you are, effectively, stealing their work by making an unlicensed copy.  If you like their work enough to copy it, isn't it better to keep them in business, so they can do more and nbetter, in the future?


i like a girl named spencer cheng. She is soooooo hot.

Ask her out. You'll never know till you try.


I'm still fighting it off, but I can safely say it's the worst bout of flu I've had in many years (maybe ever). If you've already gone through it, please share your tale of woe. It may help warn others of the danger or, at the very least, we can form a YA "I feel your pain" support group (kidding... I think).

I had it over New Years and it turned into walking pnemonia. \n\nMost of my family is either ill with it or has had it already. \n\nBad, bad strain.\n\nHope all is well with you.


Assume the person weighs 110 lbs. before the bath. The person sits, covered with water up to the chin for 1 hour. Beginning, the water is as hot as tolerable, and cools to slightly less than tepid at end of hour. The person  leaves the bath all wrinkled. If there was a weight gain, how long will it last?

This is an 'empirical question'.  That means you can perform a test (experiment) to determine the answer.  Do the test.  Weigh yourself. Take a one hour bath.  Dry off.  Weigh yourself again.  Be sure not to get your hair wet because you can't dry that off quickly.\n\nLimitations may include the accuracy and reproducibility of your scale and its ability to measure very small changes.\n\nTry it!\nGood luck.


little sheep with purple horns, run all over your desktop

is this supposed to be a question? all i can gather from this is you like sheep with purple horns so therefor you are gay. no, really...you are a huge homo!!!


My brother thinks it's weird that my boyfriend who I've been with a couple years now, spends the night every night. I am 24 and I am still living with my parents. I am waiting until I graduate to move out. But at the time being, it is convenient for me to stay at home. We have a 4 bedroom house with only 3 people living in it, my parents sharing a room. My boyfriend has been spending the night every night on the couch. My parents love him and they don't mind him sleeping in their house. Although, they won't allow him to sleep in my room (we are not married). I don't mind him being on the couch either, I see him right before I fall asleep and when I wake up. My brother thinks its weird, do you?

I do not think this is wierd at all, your not doing anything wrong...And besides, your old enough to make your own decisions.


Giving alcohol to people of the age of 18


Went to Ear nose and throat had CAT scan of sinuses. No known allergies. Started aprox. 7 months ago. Dr. gave me Nasonex did not work. Please HELP

maybe try saline mist? give a good spray in nostril, then gently blow nose


Let's take a for-instance: I go to the Othello pizza place--why? Because I'm hungry. Honestly, I prefer Straw Hat, but this one was more convenient, and I'll go a long way for convenience. Anyway, I buy a calzone; but then some grungy dude starts yelling at me about "choice." I think about it, for a little while, but then I tell him, I already made my choice--calzone with pepperoni, Canadian ham, green peppers, white onion, meatball, some mushrooms, and no olives--but for some reason this doesn't satisfy him. He begins telling me about The Children or The Fetii, or whatever. I said, you look a little young to be talking about that; why are you so incensed? He starts screaming in my face and I realize he has not showered or brushed his teeth in several days. I offer to buy him a coffee at the nearest port in a storm, but he gets even more "animated." Finally, a news van drives buy, and they stop to interview him, and I can leave. The question is: how do I eat the calzone w/o fork/knife?

You eat it with your fingers!  By the way, what does the "crazy dude" have to do with your question?


Why is bush forcing us to go to war with a countrie with no wepons of mass destruction? If their are wepons then where are they?

There's not really a way out now that he's involved the U.S. in a country we have no business invading.  If we suddenly pull out, there'd be chaos.  Since he thought there was WMD, it gave him credibility to attack, but now as it turns out, he and his administration were DEAD WRONG.  I think it's all a big conspiracy myself in that it's a fight re: oil and he's continuing what his pop started when he was in office.  Bush is a complete idiot and has no business being the president.  He has failed us time and time again (Iraq; Hurricane Katrina; running up the deficit; etc.)  The man deserves to be impeached.


and wants to be my penpal if so let me know by conacting me by clicking on the picture

I sure hope not.  Haven't they caused us enough trouble already?

My 11yo son cut the bottom of his foot, is unable to walk on it without crutches, but our entire house is ceramic tile. Wondering if it would be better for him to use a wheelchair for a couple of days instead.

The rubber tips should be able to handle it.


i am going out with my other friends cosin and then today my bf asked please help!?!?!?

No offense, but if you have to ask, niether relationship is probably a good one. When you truely love somone, there is no doubt in your mind as to what decision to make in this type of situation.


take 48 and double it.  add the # of winds'.  then subtract the # of ali babbas thieves not counting ali babba.  divide that by 30 then cube it.  what do u get?

48*2 = 96\n96 + 4 = 100\n100 - 40 = 60\n60 / 30 = 2\n2^3 = 8\n\nAssuming there are four winds and forty theives, of course. The "not counting Ali Babba" thing is a little odd, but considering the numbers work out evenly I think 8 is right.


I always make the  mistake and rest my arms on the table or forget to put a napkin n my lap

I got the new HP PC XP Media Centre 2005. From the first day I started using it, the destop keeps on being frozen while I am on the internet. I could use up to 30-60min then freeze or it just freezes within 5 minutes of use. I have contacting the Technical Support centre 9 times. We did many things and I still have the same problem. They refused to refund/exchange and asked me to contact Future shop, the place I got the PC, for refund/exchange. Future shop asked me to contact HP since they are the manufacturer. I am now stuck with a PC that is not working and I'm very frustrated. Could someone please advise me on this situation? What is wrong with my PC? Who or where I could contact to get my PC exchanged or returned? I don't think I will get another HP PC or shop at Future Shop again since they treat customer like a third rate citizen in comparision to their bottom line. Thank you for taking your time to help me.

You might want to think about reformatting your hard drive and doing a fresh install of the operating system. This is usually a last resort after all other troubleshooting is done. If the install does not work then you might be looking at a hardware problem.


What kind of manufacture organization is the best to open in Argentina? Why?

Clothing (wool), meat, bookstores/publishing houses, restaurants/food, tourism.  \n\nArgentina is a beautiful country, with many different landscapes to explore, so tourism is a major industry there.  And tourism makes other industries grow there: restaurants and clothing, for example.  Argentinians are well-known in South America as good readers, so it would be interesting to open bookstores or even a publishing house there.  And it is the land of meat - sheep, cows and others.


I mean, it's just a cartoon. Do guys actually use it for masturbatory material?

My husband dosent, but he said that he has heard of it.  YUCK I mean come on at least look at real boobs lol.  I am taking it that you don't spank it to that. Thank goodness! lol


a friend of mine is going to lose his apt hes behind on rent and going to have his gas shut off please can any one help?

Have a yard sale. He can buy a new bed later. A couple of thick blankets can actually be quite comfortable. It woudln't be strange to have one in the middle of the week. Put up big, bright signs, and the people will come.


I met this girl at work, we hit it off, and seem to connect. She moved away and in with her bf, where she didn't seem to be too happy. We emailed and chatted online. We eventually got together and really hit it off the second time and she spent the night. She kissed me but I didn't push it further since she seemed vulnerable and she'd only moved in with this guy 2weeks before. She emailed me after about how much she connected with me and how special I was but that she made a commitment and needed to work it out. Now her boyfriend broke up with her and she was devastated, couldn't wait to come down and see me, two days later she was out partying and seemed happy. Now when I talked to her she said I had had my one chance with her and blew it. When I asked if I had just been convenient and whether she had actually had any feelings for me she just told me I was mean. \nI'm wondering did she feel anything or was I just convenient at the time?

I have known girls to feel rejected when a man doesn't insist on sleeping with them immediately.  I know it is stupid, but she probably thinks less of you because of it.  Anyone who thinks like that isn't worth your effort anyway, if you are actually worried about how she would feel about it.  As to whether she had any feelings or not, she was probably too confused to know herself, so she couldn't tell you one way or the other.


Can a minor be named as the beneficary on their parents life insurance policy?

Yes, but save your beneficiary the trouble and word your beneficiary statement like this:\n\nJoe Shmoe Custodian for Your Child.\n\nAlternatively, you can name a custodian (trustee) in your will. Remember, a Guardian has the legal rights to make decisions regarding the upbringing and welfare of your child, but it is the trustee that you name that has the responsibility for the management of the child's assets. It is wise to name two different people to these posts. Either one is a big responsibility and to ask one person to do both can be overwhelming.

OMG a FOOT FETISH PICK UP POST - Bugger off!  FREE is not FREE - take note ladies.. and Dude you are reported.. this is a personal ad, against Yahoo! Answers policy!


the ideal capacity would be 50tons/day. \n\ni would just like to find the equipment cost. (no building cost)\n\nThank you in advance

Thats a pretty specific question you will likely have trouble getting answered here. \n\nI would suggest calling up a biodiesal factory and taking a manager out for lunch to shoot the breeze. Tell them you are looking for a good manager, or tell them you think the business is going to boom. Tell them you are a reporter and are going to write a book about it. \n\nYou will have to ask general questions, like what type of equipment they use, where they get it from. Then you can do the last step easily by calling the companies that sell the stuff.\n\nMaybe I am wrong and someone will just spit out the answer. If so I will be impressed.\n\nGood Luck


I would check with the outreach program at your nearest hospital.  They should be able to help you.


Maybe because we're in base 10 and 9 is the highest base10 one-digit number? Try other bases, and you might get the same conclusion^_^(E.g. 1 in base2, 2 in base3, 3 in base4, 4 in base5, etc.) Just remember that when you sum them up you are still in that base!!!^_^


I have looked at hundreds and they are all the same...MLM or Net work marketing....is there a legitimate business where you can sell products or work within another organisation and earn decent dollars without the pyramid set up...???


Leave a note on her car window at work, telling her that you miss her, and that youre thinking of her... Leave notes on the bathroom mirror when you go to her house, leave notes in the frig... Leaving notes in places she'd find, when you are away, are a good start.. Have flowers sent to her house or work..Send her a letter in the mail, tellin gher that you miss her....


I love writing, but I have some problems. ZThe only thing I have a talent for is poems, but I want to write a story. I need some tips.

Start off by letting your thoughts flow -- Jot down ideas, even if they're just words or fragments of sentences, don't think about sentence structure, just write down a plot and add on and elaborate.  Then piece them together into sentences and paragraphs and elaborate more.  Let a few other people read it, hear what they think, and use their input to further increase the quality of your story.  \n\nI hope this helps.  =]


Can someone explain to me what adjusted R^2 is and what it tells us? Examples would be great!

As you may know if you add independent variables to a linear regression the regular R^2 will not decrease, you can actually increase the R^2 by adding more predictors, but that does not mean you have a better model or that the variable that you added is a better predictor.  So to adjust the regular R^2 taking into consideration the number of predictors the Adjusted R^2 is used.  The R^2 is alwasys between 0 and 1, the adjusted R^2 can go below 0.\n\nR^2 = 1 - SS_error / SS_total\n\nAdjusted R^2 = \n1 - (SS_error / df_error) / (SS_total/df_total)\n\n\nHere is an example with both the R^2 and Adjusted R^2\nhttp://www.ats.ucla.edu/STAT/SAS/output/reg.htm

My bestfriend (20, Male) goes to school across the country away from home. We're childhood friends, and he confides in me. Things were going great until a year ago when his mom was diagnosed with cancer in her nose. Due to the horrible news, his GPA went down and was almost suspended from school. Recently he found out that his mother fell down the stairs and has broken both her legs and is now bed ridden, and that the cancer has spread to 5 different parts of hre body, 2 out of the 5 are in her brain. Plus, his long time girlfriend dumped him on valentines day. We talk a lot and he tells me that he may not pass his courses this semester, and that all he wants to do is to be at home because his mom is dying. How can I give him support, and what can I do and say to make him feel better?

All I can tell you is to continue to do what you are doing...being there for him. When my mother passed away suddenly, without the forewarning your friend has been given, it was someone like you who helped me through it, even though she didn't know how much she held my broken heart together.\n\nYou may never know your healing effect upon your friend, sweetheart, but just be there for him...a rock, a shoulder to cry on (when men aren't supposed to be allowed to show such weakness), the one he can call in the middle of the night when it gets really tough. Even if he never comes out and says it, you will have made all the difference in the world.\n\nAnd isn't that all that each of us wish to do at least once in our lives for someone else?


Just starting to record a demo, and we've been getting lots of noise from the bass as a result of the strings slapping against the pickups. We suspect it's because the strings are fairly loose as a result of downtuning half a step, and then to drop d from there (i.e. low note = C#). Given this problem, we began wondering if basses even downtune at all, or if that's something that's just feasible for guitars. If it is a common practice, then what might be going wrong for us???

Typically, I'll use the B string on my 5 string for material requiring those really low notes.  However, sometimes it becomes necessary to detune my E string due the the left-hand gymnastics that would be required to use the low notes on the B.  That is, some songs simply don't lend themselves to grabbing a C# on the 2nd fret of the B string; it can be MUCH easier if the E string is tuned down.\n\nIf the strings are hitting the pickups, there's a few possibilities: your action is too low to support detuning or the pickups are too high.  Lowering the pickups is the easiest; changing your action will require checking and fixing the intonation.\n\nIf the bass you're using still isn't working right, I'd suggest looking into a rental for a few days from your local music store.  Or, if you don't mind dropping a few bucks, a buddy of mine has the 6 string bass in the sources hyperlink and loves it.  $200 is short money.


My girlfriends parents hate us being together. I hate her family. My family loves her she loves my family. Her parents are complete a-holes, they hate the fact that we are together. they treat her like horse sh**. they don't trust her for snot. and my family is te complete opposite. we are complete opposites. she always talks about her friend who i can't say. It's a guy. I never talk about anyone else. I lost a friend just to make her happy. a friend that i have known for 5 years. I make so many sacrifices she never made any.i go out of my way to do everything.I have been with her for 16 months. help me .

There are just too many problems with this relationship.  Quit while you are ahead and can possibly reconnect with your previous friendship.  NO GIRLFRIEND OR BOYFRIEND is worth losing a long time friend over ... NO ONE!!


I would like to do videography fulltime.  I am working on building a Real Estate video business and want to do documentaries.  Maybe start off with short videocasts of local news and stories.  I have experience from when I worked with NBC years ago.  How has anybody else made the change from a coushey job with benefits to the entreprenual world?

I did it about 2 years ago.  Went from working for someone else to starting my own studio.  The only hang up was affording the right equipment.  I started off with a couple high quality cameras I bought off eBay.  Did a few weddings for rock bottom prices just to get my name out there.  And now we are crazy busy with weddings, sport videos, memories and such.  And this summer we are working on our first short.  I am not sure what you are looking for answer wise.  But if you have any questions on what I did or suggestion just let me know.  I might be able to help or at least tell you what not to do.


Why in England they would like to give people card as ID?

In most European countries you have to get a Natinal ID card.  It is one way to ensure that you are who you say you are, it has your picture and information about where you live and what you do, like a passport but is is issued by your town.


What's a good conversation starter when no one's really talking like at a dinner or in a car ride?

Say a funny thing happened to you...but don't make it up..just talk about something really funny happened to you, or infront of you. and then start from there.  if you something in the road, you can talk about it....honestly, me I talk when I really have interest in the people I'm talking with...but otherwise, I lost the topics too...so probably you should have interest. or maybe if you become more efficent, maybe you don't need interest....use the common sense and common topics, like music, movies, sports, study life, public life...don't use offensive talks only with the people accept it, such as politcs, religion, and adult.


a is a multiplicatively invertible element of F_p, p is prime.

If y is a root of this and b is in F_p, then (y+b)^p -(y+b)=y^p +b^p -y-b=a, so y+b is another root. Hence the complete list of roots is y, y+1, ....y+p-1.\n\nThus we have two cases, the first where the polynomial splits in F_p (a=0) and the other where we get a degree p extension, so F_(p^2).\n\nNotice that we are using the algebra student's dream (x+y)^p=x^p +y^p which is justified because we are working over a field of characteristic p.

My child is 5 years old and I was told 1 year ago that one kidney was smaller than another and to come back in 1 yr for a repeat ultrasound.  Now I am told that neither kidney has grown in a year and that one kidney is still smaller than the other.  What does this mean?

Hypoplastic kidneys are small kidneys that contain a reduced number of normally developed filtering elements. The link gives more info. I'm sure there are treatment options.\n\nGood luck.

Do Christians from Egypt work as a tool for the US government to put pressures whenever they want on Egypt (as if they need to, the egyptian president is merely a US employee!)? \nBecause the real deal is that Christians in Egypt are very powerful. After researching the news, you'll find that the most wealthy people in Egypt are Christians, even one of them is named in Forbes (Naguib Sawires), and they have Churches in every area and in the top companies in Egypt like Orascom Telecom that does jobs in almost all the middle east, most of its workforce are Christians, and when the Egyptian Pope requested to have a certain feast as an official Holiday, the president obeyed immediately. So what's the fuss about?

yes...you are right... i live in Egypt,and the christians are not weak in Egypt,the Coptic are about 10% of the Egyptian people..but they have 20% of the Egyptian Nation income and the most rich man and family in Egypt are Christian (Saweires)...but most of them do not like to join the political life they prefer more to be successful in economy...but the bad thing some of the Coptic who live in USA or Canada try give false things about what happen in Egypt.i think they just want to gain more power.. but not all the Coptic people do that really...some of them..and of course the some political people of USA will not let this chance, they use that as a tool to make pressures on the government of Egypt....


i cant forget him plz tell me what 2 do?im a muslim and he's a bengali.even if v patch up vll have family problems.im always thinkin about him.

my advice if your not married yet and he was cheating on you and puting you always down and being always rude no you deserve better after you get married it will get worse and the relationship will be nasty and heartbreaking. I hope u are not a teenager . if you are working what is it bothering you are independent dont destroy your life find someone who loves you and will show sincere affections for you please dont fall in love with a married man who is not divorced yet you will break his familly heart affecting his wife and his children  specially when they are married for a long time and they were in love . I consider this home wrecking and selfishness.


I realy need a rice C-DNA library, I found one from Avestagen and other company but there must be site wich supply it at low coast for acedemic purpose.

Invitrogen sells two different cDNA libraries.


so, here it is, in a nutshell.  \n\ni like women.  i like their breasts.  i like their asses.  i like the way the smell.  i like touching their hair.  i like the way they dress.  i like the way my fingers smell after we mess around for a bit.  or a while.  single women out there, i mess around for a very long while.  married women, too.  i like their laughs.  i like their smiles.  i like their tongue on my balls.\n\nbut, i also like men.  i like their stubble.  i like their muscles.  i like their hairy chests.  i like their hairy butts.  i like big butts, i cannot lie.  i like moustaches.  i like short haircuts.  i like bald men.  i like putting my hand on the back of their head, and holding them close as i shove my cock deep in to their mouth.  i also like having him tongue my ass.\n\nwait, that doesn't really leave for much of a question, does it?  \n\ni had subway for lunch today, and chose the new carne asada sub, and got salsa and this leafy stuff on it.  \n\nyou think i liked it?

that is what is called bisexualtiy. you are sexually attracted to both men and women. A homosexual is attracted to people of the same gender, a heterosexual is attracted to people of the other gender, bisexuals are attracted in some degree or another to both genders.


because i am catholic and i kno abstinance plays a big role

its said doing so is a sin 4 catholics.. sooo i guess sooo


I wanted to know peoples opinion on this. Do you believe that you go to hell if you commite suicide, or if you are not of the "right" religon (whatever that may be)? Or do you even believe in hell at all?

This concept comes from the idea that if you don't repent from a sin, that you will go to hell, and that there is no opportunity to repent from commiting suicide.  However, most people view repent here as "ask forgiveness."  Repent does not mean that.  It means change the way you think and act.  If we had to ask forgiveness for every sin we ever commit NONE of us would ever go to heaven.  Grace is not such a fine line that if you sin, you are lost, if you ask for forgiveness your saved again, sin again and you're lost again, etc.  There is another problem with this...  There are many ways to commit suicide in which you have time to ask for forgiveness.  Jumping off a bridge, for example.  While I certainly believe it would be a sin to take your own life, I don't think that one sin would necessarily negate the grace that comes from accepting Jesus as your savior.


Are there any scientific studies to show the effects on the body, of drinking hot water, vs. cold water, for normal consumption? Benefits/drawbacks etc.

(m)\n\nHot water does not freeze - cold water does.\n\nHot water cools faster than cold water because they both follow approximately the rate equation delta T = -k*dT/dt.\n\nAfter washing the stained clothes in both hot and cold water, we determined that cold water removed most of the stains more efficiently.  Cold water removed all of the stains that hot water did not, with the exception of grape juice and mustard.  Neither hot nor cold water removed oil or grass stains efficiently.  It different detergents and/or stain removal substances, such as Shout, were applied to the grass and oil stains, they would more than likely be able to be removed.  Since oil needs heat to dissolve, it would probably be effectively removed with the proper stain removers in hot water.  We decided that not just hot or cold water can specifically be used to remove all types of stains all the time.  Each stain must be treated accordingly using the right detergent and the right water temperature.  \n\n \n\nAlthough hot water is needed to remove some stains, it also tends to fade the color of materials.  If there are no stains in clothes, it is more efficient to use cold water because you are saving energy by not needing water to be heated.  If clothes need to be washed in warm or hot water, you can save energy but washing big loads of laundry at once and rinsing them on a different, cooler cycle.    \n\n\nCold water pressure washers are most suitable for car, deck, grill, patio, sidewalk, house, bus, and truck power cleaning. Also, if you have a car washing or an airplane washing business cold water power washers are the best fitting machines for it.\n\nOn the other hand, hot water pressure washers are excellent for oil, grease, and fuel spills, and for sanitization. Hot water pressure washers are also the best candidates for places such as garages, industrial plants, agriculture machineries, service areas, food processing plants, and airport environments.\n\nCold (40 - 50 degrees F) water is absorbed more quickly from the stomach. Also, if cold water is drank during physical exercise has the dual effect of also cooling the internal body temperature along with sweat produced by exercise. Since sweat is your body’s way of cooling itself, leave sweat on your skin and you should feel cooler.


while deployed to Iraq, I left a vehilce with a friend to work on.  It caught fire, and was destroyed, towed and stored.  Nobody was able to take it out of storage but myself, yet I wasnt here.  Im now being charged for all the storage time.  Should I have to pay that?  are theyre any laws to protect me from paying that?

NO, you do not have to pay they are just saying that because they want the money however, if you want the car back you'll have to. Just let'em eat it, its part of the towing business. There are no laws requiring you to have to pay.


i have been to a doctor but they didnt do any thing it sucks reli bad what should i do to help them go away??

You should first check your eyes, if your sight is bad it can lead into constant headaches; especially at the end of the day.  \nYou should also try to identify if it's only a headache or possibly a migraine-they are usually accompanied by sensitivity to light, sound, smell; nausea, or diziness-. Some migraines are triggered by stress, but some food, like chocolate, spices, orange juice, or dairy, can also cause them.  \nYou should check with your doctor to find out if you need exams, maybe a cat scan.  Hope it helps


We are using Lotus Notes 6.5.3 on a small network. Each client logs into the Lotus email server. Someone told me it was possible to move the clients from one computer to another without having to uninstall and reinstall. Is it possible? This would be necessary if one of my users was to move from one desk to another.

Hi \n\nOkay, I will assume when you move the Lotus Notes from 1 PC and to another PC, you are going to use the same drive. (C or D)\n\nYou can easily achieved that by moving the directory of the Lotus Notes Program and the "Data files"\n\nExample:\n1. Lotus Notes installed on:\nD:\lotus\notes\n\n2. Data file on\nd:\lotus\notes\data or some other directory\n\nMove these 2 directory to the new PC.\nand create a shortcut to the Notes application. "notes.exe"\n\nit Should WORK, i have done this many times since version 5.0 :-)\n\n\nif you are moving to a different directory, you need to modify the\nd:\lotus\notes\notes.ini\n\ndboy\nmy blog: http://dragonboy2006.blogspot.com


If not, perhaps you know how I can find out what I will and won't be allowed to bring into the arena?  I'd like to bring in a small camcorder to memorialize the experience, but I don't want to run into any problems with security.  Thanks.

On the slip sheet that comes with the tickets, it says that cameras (still and video) are not allowed.  However, it all depends on what kind of security guard checks you.  Some will allow you in.  Others will be a hardass and not.  I've taken still cameras in without a problem, but I don't flaunt them.\n\nMaybe wear a shirt that says something like "(insert name) is my brother/son/etc".


the father pays dutifully 700.00/mo son gets thrown out repeatedly. i want the money to be diverted to son to live on housing/food/transportation.in ct sucks,no buses this boy has 6 yr old bent glasses, few clothes, lives on handouts, mother wont treat his residual lymes disease at all, help in health,he had tb meds 2002,his moth. collects $ but files household head and son never allowed home, he turned 20, been going on since he is 16,he lives in ct woods he is lost i send $ if he reaches us in cal so does his dad overpay to help feed if he can....HELP ME IM HIS SICK GRANDMA IN CAL???

We'd like to know what all the initials behind doctors' names mean.

MD=Medical Doctor; PA=Physician Assistant; DO=Doctor of Osteopathic medicine; NP=Nurse Practioner


I'm 17 and i have horrible back pain, knee pain, ankle pain and wrist pain. Its HORRIBLE and i always have to day pain medicine or something to knock me out to get to sleep at night, any idea why i would hurt like this at such a young age? \nI'm not in any sports or 'physical' activities. I'm a pretty lazy girl.

Pain is never a good thing. Go to the doctor but your inactivity may be to blame. We weren't meant to be sedentary creatures and an inactive lifestyle means our muscles become to weak to carry our own frame around. If your abdominal an back muscles are weak it can throw your spine out of alignment which can cause pain all over. Yep even the angle of your shoulder or your wrist.\n\nSee the doctor to rule out anything more serious and then start with a light walk and gentle yoga and work your way up to a more active lifestyle. You are too young to let your body get so old.


I cannot view video in websites like American Idol, I have all the other stuff needed to view it, the last resort is to check that javascript is turned on but I don't know how to do this.

I have a cracked collarbone and was wondering, aside from drinking milk and keeping it immobilized, what will help speed up the healing process?

I had a dream about dead people's journals and I just wanted to know if there are folks with family journal that they don't know what to do with or don't want any longer.

Someone keeps them or they are thrown away. I hope you didn't think that they magically disappear. The same thing applies to the rest of their stuff.


I would say agnosticism, not atheism and it's about time.\nA nonbeliever has the guts and the intellect to question the dogmas fed to her/him by society and organized religion. \n\nIn Europe, even in very religious countries such as Spain and Italy, nonbelievers probably outnumber believers. \n\nMost Europeans are amazed that a country supposedly so advanced as the US has so many fundamentalist fanatics trying to convert everyone in sight, with no respect for the beliefs (or nonbeliefs) of others. What's the difference between the US religious right and Middle Eastern fanatics? Not much.\n\nReligion can be the Opium of the Masses. I am a beliver, but deeply respect those who choose not to.

i'm interested in working in a school system when I finish my masters.  any advice?

The master's degree will give you a lot of experience--there will be several interships with different ages and conditions.  You have to complete 25 hours of observations in your undergraduate, and I think about 100-125 therapy hours in your graduate.  The pay depends on where you live.  Good luck


I have not cable and I have missed alot of things can you help me see what is going on in these programes?

On Charmed the sisters got there identities back and then they were battling all these demons. Then they found another witch named Billie she has powers too she has been living there and then she told them that her sister got kidnapped when they were little by a demon. Then the Angel of Death came for Leo then Piper had to freeze him to not let him die. Then he has been gone ever since then Wyatt thought it was his fault so he made his toys come to life to help him get him back then he started acting up then Piper told him it wasn't his fault but he still misses his Dad. Then Paige met this guy named Henry and then they got engaged and they married and they are a good couple. That is what happened in a short version but you missed a lot.


do u think there is only one person meant for u and u wil find him or her eventually?

If you believe in it, that's it. A lot of people believe in it and a lot of do not. It is your vision of life which is more important. Sometimes if you really look around you will be astonished to find so many understanding people around you. One of them may remain with you forever.

A friend sent me a long email about this and it seems too fantastic to be real.

I think this is what you are referring to: \n\nBERKELEY, CA — A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." \n\nThe contract — announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR — calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. \n\nTo date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law. \n\nThese are interesting times.

For my erotic novel, at this time, I am interested in responses from straights only. Thanks.

I am more than willing to give than receive. I actually "get off" more when I'm giving. I don't necessarily have to receive, especially when he is more than willing.What I don't like is a selfish lover, one who won't give at all. I would love to read your novel. Contact me about it. What else are you interested in for your novel?


Last Friday night I went out with some co-workers for happy hour. I'm a social smoker, and usually smoke almost half a pack in one sitting.

After all religion is basically a product of environment.  If you are born in a Christian country you'll probably be Christian, Budhist...Budhist, and so on.\n\nOf course some people become enlightend and break away from thier cultural norms to seek thier own answers.\n\nWhy can a person say with such certainty that thier religion is right when there are so many people with so many different beliefs? \n\nIn my opinion it would be much better to introduce children to the idea of religion and then let them choose which one best suits them instead of forcing a particular religion down their throats.\n\nI do not associate myself with any organized religion.  I believe in God, Budha, etc.  In my opinion they are all the same being just honored in different ways.

Because religion has something to do with the after life, heaven and hell and things of that sort!!! So you better be right about your believes or else there might be some serious eternal problems ,lol\nThere can't be different right faiths!! Only in this matter it is either right or wrong!!\nAnd if you are right others must be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!  or else it is you who will be wrong!!!and no one wants to be wrong .... cuz this will determine their final destination!! \nWe can't jeopardize  this matter!!\nWhat if your God is not the true God who owns the judgment day?!!! Who will judge you?? Some one you didn't believe in I guess!!!!! Here is where the problems come from ,lol\nbut this is only regarding the afterlife, but in our present life we must all co-exist in peace and respect the freedom of belief, believe me it is optional, if God wanted us all to follow one religion i bet he would have done it!!

Popes promised participants in the First Crusade a plenary indulgence should \nthey die in battle, that is, a complete remission of any outstanding temporal punishment for their sins. Bearing in mind the modern context of suicide attacks, try to put yourself inside the mind of a man or woman who is willing to die for their \nreligious beliefs. How is this possible? What is it that causes such a person to \ndevelop such a depth of hatred for America and what it stands for?

Good question! I think some of it might be brain washing. I cant imagine someone giving their lives for a  reason because someone tells them it ok. I am not sure what causes anyone to hate america but they dont have the same values we do on human rights or life so maybe they are ignorant to our ways like we might not understand theirs. WE all need to educate each other so we can find the common ground we all share as human beings and maybe these things wouldnt happen.


what are the known types of Lecture recorders or brands in the market...I have a walkman that has a recording facility..can I just buy a Microphone and install it in the walkman in order to record lectures with a good sound quality

Unless the professor has special equipment offered then you probably aren't going to get very good sound quality. However, if you sit in the right place you should be able to get a legible quality through the idea you suggested. Just move your seats around some until you find a good spot. Also, make sure you ask your professor about recording their class, some of them could have very helpful things that they themselves use.


just askin' and need to know some information, i will catch if you look it up!!!

The first Iditarod race began in 1973. The Iditarod is a race that starts in Anchorage AK and ends in Nome AK. It is about 1150 miles long. Each team consists of 12-16 sled dogs. The fastest time completed was in 8 days, and the slowest was completed in 32 days.

Mother put in childrens names.  She died 2005 house was in childrens names in 1989.  Should it be done as a sale of realestate or would it be considered an inheritance? The house was sold for 30,000.00 less than the appraised value.\nWas sold for 100,000.00 leaving approx 30,000.00 to each child.  I do taxes for people who cannot afford to have their taxes done by the bigger companies.  I have only about 50 that I take care of each year.  I have never run across this situation before. I need your help!!!!

If the house was already in the children's names, then there was no inheritance.  Therefore it would be considered a sale of real estate.  I believe the basis of the house would have been the basis on the date of the transfer, not the appraised value.  Don't forget to add the cost of any improvements to the original basis.\n\nFor more information go to the IRS website and download Publication 523 - Selling Your Home.  If that doesn't help, call the IRS directly.


The Aztecs, or more properly, the Mexicas, for whom the later Republic of Mexico was named, were a Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They were a civilization with a rich mythology and cultural heritage. Their capital was Tenochtitlan, built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco – the site of modern-day Mexico City. The Aztec empire produced the biggest demographic explosion in Mesoamerica: the population grew from an estimated 10 million to 15 million.


I forgot my chemistry notes at school, and I can't remember how to do this, that or we haven't learned it yet...but anyways, if someone could teach me how to do this, that would be greatly appreciated.

-log[0.140] = pOH (rather than pH because NaOH is a base)\n\npH + pOH = 14\n\nOne you have calculated your pOH using the antilog of 0.140, subtract that answer from 14 to find your pH!

Ok I'm in 7th grade and the guy I like is in 8th. Hes shy but really awesome. Everyone thinks he's cool, and hes awesome at everything! He plays sports, and is one of the best players, if not, the best player. Hes also in Band and he plays the trumpet. He is sooo good at it. He's super at math, cause hes on the highschool mathteam!!! Not Jr. High, but Highschool!!! And then he takes an English class up at the highschool also. He missed a lot of classes at the Jr. High, but he manages to finish all his work and get A's and B's. He moved here last year and hes been catching my eye every time we walk by eachother. He blushes every time and looks over his shoulder at me. My mom is his teacher and shes talked about me around him, and he's seemed interested. We are somewhat alike cause Him and I sit there in class and are bored to death cause the teacher has to explain stuff to other kids over and over. Its so annoying. I dont see him often. I want him to know I really like him. Please Help!

Just play it cool - go up to him and tell him you think he's cute. He'll probably go bright red, but just smile and ask him if he wants to come over and do some homework or something together.\n\nIf he's really shy then you need to make the move or else you may never get together! Good luck! Be Brave!

its a red dot type of mouse and you just guide it. you should know the type of mouse i have if you have an IBM thinkpad laptop or have seen one. I think its JAMMED. it stays to one side a lot or it goes in all directions.

IBM invented these eraser head style mice many years ago.  You might reinstall the driver and that might fix the problem.  You might try to change the bios mouse settings.  When the computer boots up press ESC to access the bios. \n\nDoes it do this if you are using an auxiliary mouse (PS/2 or USB)--in other words does it happen if you keep your hand and fingers away from the tracking devices-and is the area free of static electricity?

I love it!! Except for Blanche she is somewhat of a slut. Sophia is my favorite. Who is your favorite?

Great question Jodie! I love the Golden Girls, they make me laugh. I like the old lady who plays the mom. She always has something witty to say, Estelle Getty. Anyway...this broken ankle has been horrible & the pain is unbelievable. Had surgery, cost more then one hundred thousand dollars, isn't that wild! It took four doctors to put my foot and ankle back together & their still not done. My daughter has been helping me out alot, when she's not helping she's either on the phone or watching High School Musical, lol!!\nHey what's going on with Miss Foster? I heard she's in a new movie & it's suppose to be pretty good. I like the movie Silence Of The Lambs but alot of that movie was very disturbing, especially when he had that girl locked in that pit. I don't like to see stuff like that. I like happy and fun and comical romantic movies. Hey! Jodie told me a long time ago she had fun filming this musical called Bugsy something? I can't remember the name but my friend Scott Bayo was in film with Jodie. They were like little kids portraing comical mobsters. The other film Jodie did with Scott was "Foxes", Jodie & Scott & Cherrie Currie & Joan Jett & me were hangin' out on Hollywood Boulevard. Scott and Jodie were messing around with a skateboard & talking to a homeless guy named "The Dead Indian" Really really really fun summer and Jodie looked really pretty. Her hair was like straight & long and her skin was absolutely flawless. Check out cover of People Magazine around 1978-1981 Jodie was on cover, just after John went nuts. Anyway, tell me what's new & are there anymore sites I can go on and ask questions? This site is starting to seem boring & nobody seems to be able to answer any of my questions. Help me find a better Q&A site. Chow! Ladies & Gentleman, Jodie Foster has left the building!


I have lost plenty of wieght and should have no problem completing the run but really need to get some training in so other that lots of running, whats good? im 6`2 and 15st, started various exercises. Ive set this personal challenge as i want to start making some long overdue changes to my life.  Thanks for any replies

The best way to train for a 5k is going to be lots of running.  I'm assuming you can already jog 3 miles without stopping.  So, here's the type of schedule I'd use (fit to your own needs/schedule):\n\nWeek #: Sun  Mon  Tue  Wed  Thu  Fri  Sat\nWeek 1: 3.00 R 2.00 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 2: 3.50 R 2.00 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 3: 3.75 R 1.50 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 4: 3.25 R 2.00 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 5: 4.00 R 1.50 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 6: 3.00 R 1.50 R 1.50 R 5K\n\nThe numbers are the distance in miles, and the 'R' stands for a rest day (no running).  Don't be afraid to change the long-run days around, as long as you make sure the next day is a rest day.  The above schedule is a little guesswork on my part, since I typically prepare for things months in advance, not weeks.  All the above training should be done at conversational pace (you could easily talk with someone who was running with you).\n\nI wish you the best of luck at your 5k.


i heard some thing about bus speeds.....like bith must be of same company..same slot capacity.....i need some more clarification....plz\nthnX in advance

as an example if u have p3 the internal speed of the ram is 133 Mhz , and for P4 is 400 Mhz or 800 , that means all parts shall be compatible to each other in order to get best performance , also memory will go in double capacity , 128, 256,512,1028 , u cant add 128+512=640 its not really wrong but how money can the add memory worthy


I wasnt asking for the macromedia player earlier. I was asking for the macromedia SOFTWARE. To create flash web pages. Does anyone know where I can find free macromedia SOFTWARE. :)

You are thinking of Macromedia Flash MX/2006/2007, if you are a college student you should be able to get this for a cheaper price. Otherwise you're in trouble, unless you want to get it using "other" methods, which I dont recommend.


a mass travels the curve x^(1/2) + y^(1/2) = 2\nthere are air drag and force of kinetic friction

Well um...\n\na = r''\n\na = (tangential acceleration * unit tangent) + (normal acceleration * unit normal) = (at * T) + (an * N)\n\nT and N are your unit tangent and unit normal of the function that defines your position.\n\nat = (r' dotted with r'') / (|r'|)\n\nThose are the tangential acceleration components but for this problem i think that you are going to have to reparamiterize your curve.


I'm somewhat suprised at my fellow Christians. With the heartbeat of Christianity being love, why the hostility? Jesus said, "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 13:34) I know He also said He didn't come to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34) but THIS isn't what He was talking about. We're supposed to be the "Light of the world" and the "salt of the earth". Don't you think it's time to give up our own passions and embraces Christ's?

I feel the same way. I personally had to go through something with a ex sis-in law recently. No matter what, I still love her. I was hurt and said things I normally would not have. Thank the Lord I seen this happening to me and embraced her again.I try to see the good in all people but sometimes it is so hard when they openly hand hit you in the face. Then it brings my memory back to turn the other cheek.God Bless


My mother has been recently diagnosed with CNSV (central nervous system vasculitis) and from the research we have done, there is little hope of her surviving past ten years from the time of diagnosis.

Unfortunetly form my understanding, it's one of those diseases where the the treatments are more fatal then the disease.  But without them the disease will drag out longer and be more painful.  The estimates I've seen are everything from 45 days to 8 years.


When you memorise a song or a script you say "I learnt it off by heart".  Where does this phrase originate from?

Off by heart comes from knowing something so well that even if someone took away your brain your heart could answer.


I do yaoi roleplays, and I need names for my uke characters.\n\nJapanese names are preferred, but all are appreciated.\n\n\n \nDon't give me any stupid answers, please. Such as Gimpy, Owned, and Brokeback Bitch. >>;; I want serious answers.

If it's obvious you're not a bad looking guy, and have your choice of five or six beautiful girls to begin a relationship with...

I say go for the lady that have all the qualities below:\n\n- fun company\n- God fearing (chances are she's a genuinely good person)\n- cute (not hot, not beautiful)\n\nIf nobody posseses the 3 basic qualities above,there are other fishes in the water.


I know it has to be light refraction or something of that nature, but my physics teacher couldn't even answer this one. Maybe you can!

You are on the right track. It's quite simple:\n\nGenerally, wet things look darker because they refract less light. Light, which is made of photons, refracts against an object and lands on your retina and your brain can register some amount of darkness or brightness. Now when that object is wet (assuming it is hydrophilic or "wettable") more light is absorbed by the water so less light lands in your eyes and the object appears darker.\n\nGreat question!


I have a layout site and I need to make banners, icons, link buttons, etc. What are some ***free*** programs that will allow me to do this and save them? Links would be helpful! Please and thank you!!

Trying to avoid pricey Photoshop? Don't worry, it happens. :)\n\nI can suggest to you three programs. \n\nFirst off, it's the ever popular GIMP. GIMP's a cool program. I seen people use GIMP, so it will take a while before I can learn it.\n\nSecond program I suggest is called Paint.NET. A program similar to Photoshop, it's Microsoft's "Paint" PLUS! If you know how to use use Paint, then Paint.NET is for you. \n\nThe third program is a Artweaver. This program is more for artists who want to use their tablet as it was meant to be use... as a digital canvas.\n\nAll programs have layers, are freeware and GIMP and Paint.NET is open source. \n\nTutorials for Paint.NET can be found on Paint.NET's forum, while some GIMP tutorials can be found with the link provided below.\n\nGIMP is probably the most popular one of the free programs mentioned here and anything you can do in Photoshop (because you will run into Photoshop tutorials), you can probably do in GIMP (once you learn the menus and everything).\n\nGood luck!


Why is it so sensitive for white people to comment on black people good or bad? Why is it so easy to point a finger at a white person and say he's racist because he asks for an explanation from or about a black person? Is our country really this screwed up?

I'm not black either but, most post i see if it's asking about a black person it starts off as the "N" word instand of the intelligent way of saying African American.That's not to say you can't ask a question about them.It's usually how it's frazed that "GETS" some people.


I saw a movie the other day with the setting in the Arizona desert, (circa) 1910, and in one of the scenes it shows a person carrying a wheelbarrow with a big block of ice. It, somehow, did not seem right.

Hopefully this will help some.  The first artificial refrigeration device was introduced at the University of Glascow in 1748, but it seems refrigerators and freezers didn't become common until the late-1800's to the early 1900's.  So although it's not probable that someone in the desert of Arizona was able to store and even make ice in 1910, it's definitely possible.


PENICILLIN G PENICILLIN V General Monograph, Benzylpenicillin Phenoxymethylpenicillin Antibiotic\n \nAction And Clinical Pharmacology: Penicillins G and V, known as the natural penicillins, are bactericidal against susceptible organisms. Penicillins interfere with the synthesis of cell wall mucopeptides, resulting in the formation of defective cell walls that will lyse and eventually result in death of the organism.\n\nThe spectra of activity of penicillins G and V are similar. Penicillin G is more active against gram-negative organisms (i.e., Neisseria) and some anaerobes than is penicillin V. Penicillin G can also be given parenterally, enabling the attainment of high serum concentrations, and is used for the treatment of serious infections involving penicillin-susceptible bacteria. Penicillin V is more resistant to hydrolysis by acidic gastric secretions and is absorbed orally to a much greater extent than penicillin G; therefore, it is the preparation of choice for the treatment of penicillin-susceptible infections of mild to moderate severity, in which the oral route of administration is desirable.\n\nThe in-vitro spectrum of activity of the natural penicillins is as follows: Gram-positive Aerobic Bacteria: non-B-lactamase-producing staphylococci, streptococci Groups A, B, C, G, H, K, L and M, S. pneumoniae (increasingly not susceptible), nonenterococcal group D streptococci, viridans streptococci and some strains of enterococci, C. diphtheriae, L. monocytogenes, B. anthracis and E. rhusiopathiae.\n\nGram-negative Aerobic Bacteria: non-B-lactamase producing N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, non-beta-lactamase producing H. influenzae, H. parainfluenzae, B. pertussis, E. corrodens, P. multocida.\n\nGram-positive Anaerobic Bacteria: A. israelii, Bifidobacterium, C. tetani, C. perfringens, C. botulinum, Eubacterium, Lactobacillus, Peptococcus, Peptostreptococcus, Propionibacterium.\n\nGram-negative Anaerobic Bacteria: Fusobacterium, Veillonella; most Bacteroides species are resistant.\n\nSpirochetes: T. pallidum, B. recurrentis, B. burgdorferi, Leptospira.\n\nPharmacokinetics: After oral administration, penicillin is absorbed mainly from the duodenum and upper jejunum. The extent of absorption depends on the presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract, gastric and intestinal pH and the relative acid-stability of the penicillin derivative. Both natural penicillins are hydrolyzed in the presence of acidic gastric secretions. Penicillin G is more acid-labile and should be taken on an empty stomach. Penicillin V is more stable in the presence of gastric acid and although it may be taken with meals, higher serum levels are achieved if it is taken on an empty stomach.\n\nPeak serum levels are reached within 30 to 60 minutes and are 2 to 5 times higher with penicillin V than penicillin G. The oral form of penicillin G or V benzathine reaches a lower peak level when compared with other forms of oral penicillin but levels are sustained for a longer period of time.\n\nAqueous penicillin G (as the potassium or sodium salt) may be administered i.m. or i.v. Following i.m. injection of either salt, peak levels are attained within 15 to 30 minutes.\n\nRepository preparations of penicillin G benzathine or penicillin G procaine are intended for deep i.m. injection and provide a tissue depot from which absorption takes place over several hours to several days. Penicillin G benzathine reaches its peak more slowly and is generally longer acting than penicillin G procaine.\n\nThe natural penicillins are readily distributed into ascitic, synovial, pleural and pericardial fluids. Distribution into tissues varies widely, with highest amounts in the kidney and lower concentrations in the liver, lungs, skin, intestines and muscle. Small amounts are found in all other body tissues and in the CSF. When the meninges are inflamed, the CSF concentration is about 5% of the serum concentration and can be therapeutic against sensitive organisms. Penicillins

We know that we can travel in our dream state etheric, but have anyone ever traveled to another planet, in another galaxy while sleeping and experience the lifestyle being there?  Has anyone ever traveled through a portal le; a time capsule through water to get to the other dimension but learn that their other self is there and cant cross paths with the other self.  This has happened to me and i had recorded this dream in my dream book... I also learned that when i do awaken, that i am drained from the traveling,,,  the experience is something that you will never forget.  So i know that its possible for the human spirit/soul to travel etheric to other dimensions while sleeping.  I think it depends on your diet that enables you to travel far like that.  \n\nFor anyone who has experienced something similar, what is your intake on this?

No, but my imagination can take me just about anywhere.  Makes for some great stories, too.

The normal commercial disc is engraved with two sound bearing concentric spiral grooves, one on each side of the disc, running from the outside edge towards the centre. Since the late 1910s, both sides of the record have been used to carry the grooves.\n\nThere is an area around 6 mm (0.25″) wide at the outer edge of the disk, called the lead-in where the groove is widely spaced and silent. This section allows the stylus to be dropped at the start of the record groove, eliminating the risk of damage to the recorded section of the groove when the stylus head is dropped carelessly onto the record.\n\nBetween each track on the recorded section of a LP record, there is usually a short gap of around 1 mm (0.04") where the groove is widely spaced. This space is clearly visible, making it easy to find a particular track.\n\nTowards the label centre, at the end of the groove, there is another wide-pitched section known as the lead-out. At the very end of this section, the groove joins itself to form a complete circle; when the stylus reaches this point, it circles repeatedly until lifted from the record. Automatic turntables rely on the position of the arm, as it reaches these more widely spaced grooves, to trigger a mechanism that raises the arm and moves it out of the way of the record.


My friend have a mom that is going blind in one eyes and she is very busy all the time but now she can;t see to good and want to be busy again.Do you know of anything that she can do to keep busy.

Gros Point needlepoint is done on canvas that has four squares to the inch.  If she can still distinguish colors, she can probably handle that.  Also, latch hook rugs are made on the same guage canvas.\n\nThere are large type books.  Also, you can download books that are old enough to be off copyright protection, and use a word processor to blow up the type big enough for your friend's mom to read.

We have been toegeter already for a year and a half. The sex is REALLY good. We do our own thing allot, i think mainly because we dont have freinds in common.My family doesnt really support me with this relationship. But many times I just love him and love being with him. What kind of problems do you think we may face as time goes on?

It will be difficult if your family doesn't approve, but if the two of you love each other, you can work ANYTHING out.

what areas does the eliptical trainer target that the treadmill doesnt? which would you prefer? which one is better for quicker weight loss? thanks!

The elliptical trainer is designed to match the natural running motion.  That makes it easier on the knees because the feet aren't slamming into the ground several times a second.  Some also come with handbars that swing back and forth to provide an upper body workout as well.\n\nThe problem is that the elliptical machines tend to limit the range of motion, so you end up not running with a full stride like you would on a treadmill.  \n\nBoth work the same muscles, although you can get more of an upperbody workout with the elliptical machine.  If you can tolerate the shortened running stride, I'd say an elliptical machine is slightly better than a treadmill.


a patient on imatinib for 2 months with a good hematologic response develops myasthenia gravis with positive antiacetylcholine receptor antibodies and no evidence of a thymoma on CT thorax. Could this be due to the disease or could it be due to imatinib induced autoantibodies?? Imatinib is known to produce autoantibodies against muscle and pulmonry interstitium. Or could it be due to leukemia antigen causing an autoimmune response against the myoneural junction??

Actually the cause of myasthenia gravis of course like most autoimmune diseases is unknown. There may be a slight chance for surrounding the very cause to be genetic. And most cases are usually best defined with the Thymoma. But you said the patient has CML... The sternum is well known to be part of the hematopoietic function and I am thinking what is the thymus is some how affected or inflicted with a gene from the CML site. Then there is a well connected possibility with the cause of the MG. Imatinib may also be a cause of autoantibodies but for it to be greatly specific is a very rare possibility


It's always there in the dialog box when I select the print option, but isn't it just a relic from DOS days?

It depends on what operating system you are using. If you are using Windows XP, it creates a picture of the file. You can then look at it using Microsoft Document Image Viewer. I don't know if it is the same with other OSes, but it doesn't have anything to do with the printer.

I know it depends probably where your services are held. Ex. if you work at a chiropractor's office, airport, salon,ect. Which would pay more money?

Massage therapists held about 97,000 jobs in 2004. About two-thirds were self-employed. Of those self-employed, most owned their own business, and the rest worked as independent contractors. Others found employment in salons and spas; the offices of physicians and chiropractors; fitness and recreational sports centers; and hotels. About three-quarters of all massage therapists worked part-time or had variable schedules, although as mentioned earlier many massage therapists who work 15 to 30 hours per week consider themselves to be full-time workers.\n\nEmployment for massage therapists is expected to increase faster than average over the period from 2004 to 2014 as more people learn about the benefits of massage therapy.\n\nMedian hourly earnings of massage therapists, including gratuities earned, were $15.36 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $9.78 and $23.82. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $7.16, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $32.21. Generally, massage therapists earn 15 to 20 percent of their income as gratuities. For those who work in a hospital or other clinical setting, however, tipping is not common.


If we are given a fraction, how do we divide it to decimal form without a calculator? Like what is 4/3 in decimal form. and what is 20/21 in decimal form. Is there a way to do it in our heads? w/o using a calculator?

Just do the long division. So, for 20/21,\n21 goes into 200 9 times with a remainder of 11.\nThen 21 goes into 110 5 times with a remainder of 5.\nThen into 50 2 times with a remainder of 8.\nThen into 80 3 times with a remainder of 17.\nThen into 170 8 times with a remainder of 2.\nThen into 20 0 times witha remainder of 20,\nthen it repeats, so the decimal expansion is\n\n.952380952380952380.....

2x + y = 4\n3x -2y = -1\n\n5x - 3y = 14\n2x - y = 6\n\nThanks to anyone.

Ah, systems.\n\nthe first problem- there are many ways you can choose to do this, but I think we should multiply both sides of the first equation by two so that they positive and negative y's will cancel out.\n\nSo now we have:\n2(2x + y)=2(4)\n3x - 2y = -1\n\nSimplified:\n4x + 2y = 8\n3x - 2y = -1\n\nnow you add down, so you get:\n7x +0y = 7\n7x =7\nx=1\n\nsubstitute 1 for x in any equation:\n2(1)+y = 4   \n2 + y = 4\ny = 2\n\n\n\nfor the second one- lets cancel out the y's again.\n\n5x - 3y = 14\n-3(2x - y) = (6)-3\n\n5x - 3y = 14\n-6x +3y = -18\n\nAdd them together:\n-x = -4\nx = 4\n\nThen solve for y:\n5x - 3y = 14\n5(4) - 3y = 14\n20 -3y = 14\n-3y = -6\ny = 2

I don't mean your average religious person, I mean the really strict observers.  And in all religions, Christian, Islam, Judaism, etc...  It's not that their sense of humor is different, it's that it's nonexistent.  Why?

I have found that most religious people DO have a sense of humor.  But you are right that in every religion are people who seem very religious and have no sense of humor.  Most of us religious people feel uncomfortable around them as much as anyone.  It could just be their personality and it may not really have anything to do with the fact that they are religious or not.  I have also met plenty of non-religious people with no sense of humor.\n\nSometimes, people simply may not quite know how humor fits into a religious lifestyle.  They may feel that the religious image is one of a very sober, serious, person.  But I honestly do not think that is necessary for a religious lifestyle, and in fact may be a detriment to it.


I saw a biography of Jerry Fallwell recently, and it said that just 25 years ago this literal playing out of revelation was only accepted by three percent of American Christians. So what happened?

Many people don't actually take the time to personally study the book of Revelations. Four things have to be taken into consideration: the origin of the book, its production timeline, its symbolic representations, and its literal meaning. You can not read Revelation and then literally expect to see a horned beast rise from the ground. One must understand that the references made in Revelation were made prophetically and thus primarily have symbolic meanings. Also the timeline has important significance. John could only write the book using terms and references to which he and the people of his day could relate to. The book of Revelation can not be read alone. You must also read the other end-time prophecies in the bible (including those made by Jesus, Daniel, and other prophets) in order to further your understanding of this subject.


The love of my life that i love married for the 3RD time; and i kick myself for my procrastanation.  I JUST WANT ANOTHER CHANCE; to not waste it.  It should of been me!  Numberology helped me to understand him & myself. I feel that  he was *supposed* to be my destiny.  I still cry about my loss.  Im open minded to new ideas, and only untill recently did i seriously contemplate the possibility of time travel.  What *used* to be considered far fetched is now commonplace.  And the John Tetor website also made me question it.  If there's a Govt. experiment going on; i volunteer to be the genea pig;  as long as i can STAY in the past & not have any damage done in the process.

So far no, we are not very advanced with our technology. I do think that later in the future maybe in the next decade or more who knows.


Is a Cancer woman compatable with a Virgo man?

Yes, is the simple answer. Let's look at it a little deeper though. Cancer is a cardinal (leader) water (sensitive) sign, which would say Cancers lead with their sensitivity (as a strictly general rule). Virgo is a mutable (communicator) earth (material) sign, which would say they communicate with what they have (again as a strictly general rule). Virgos, being ruled by the planet Mercury, tend to communicate in a way that is very analytical. Cancers, being ruled by the Moon, tend to communicate in a way that is very emotional. Most of the general reason why your signs are mentioned together is that earth can stabilize water and water can nourish earth. However, too much water can destroy earth and too much earth can restrict water. As in any relationship, there has to be give and take, compromise. As always there's alot more to compatability in Astrology than just Sun signs. On the other hand, love conquers all. It all boils down to what's in your heart and the rest of the world be damned if you're in love.

I am just feeling like my efforts were in vein she doesn't seem all that excited, about these nice things???????

if she doesn't seem happy don't marry her. she should be happy without the gifts. you should be the one who makes her happy. you do many wonderful things, and it sounds like she isn't as in love as you. get out now before you really get hurt. (it will already hurt) and by the way, what is your phone number, you sound wonderful.


I have been reading about the impending execution of Rahman for converting to Christianity and then I think about President Bush planning to bring democracy to these people. How can he think that is possible with a people so rabid and inflexable in their thinking?

It won't happen any time soon.  The government in Afghanistan does not make laws the way they have come to be made in the west.  We have had a long history of writing and revising law.  They have a system of laws based on a religion that started 1400 years ago. There has to be a change in thinking, to a more rational, modern approach.  At present, the power is in the hands of the religious fanatics. They will not relinquish that power without a struggle.

Okay. If someone was in they Navy and lived in Arizona. What might be the names of some bases or camps he might have been at?? I am only looking for Navy.

"Lifer" is right.  Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona is the only place a Sailor would be stationed in Arizona, unless the Sailor was on recruiting duty.  (In the case of the latter, he could have been anywhere in the state).  Marines and Sailors work side by side.  In fact, all of the medical personnel (doctors, corpsmen, etc) on a Marine Corps Base are from the Navy -- including nurses and dentists.  Also, the Chaplains are Navy, as well as all legal personnel -- such as lawyers.\n\nJust as you'll always find Marines on a Naval base, you'll always find Sailors on a Marine Corps base.\n\nGood Luck!


Three weeks ago, I started chatting with an older guy in messanger that I met in personals.  We can chat for hours(4-6) per day and have even talked for 5 hours on the phone.  And this is straight talk time (close to 75 hours so far in the 3 weeks).  We never run out of things to talk about and seem to have everything in common.  My family really likes him, as they communicate with him too.  He's a bit older, but mature and stable, and from a city less than 50 miles away.  How soon would you meet him?

Agreed it is when you are comfortable with it.  But even though he has communicated with family please make sure to meet in a public place and have the standard safety nets in place.  There have been too many people who have met someone on the internet that have run in to trouble because of trusting someone who has charmed the family only to be someone else completely after you spend time with him  ok

I know that lust is all that I feel for him and that love is what I feel for my b/f but I can't stop thinking about him and what his 11 years of experience could do to me!!!! I need help on what I should do because I'm always hanging out with this other guy and I have turned down his advances numerous times, because I love my b/f, but yet it's really hard for me and I just want to give in!!!! I feel if I do then I can get him off my mind and go back to a normal relationship with my b/f but I don't want to hurt my b/f. What should I do?

Sorry to hear your angst ... I'm sure it's very hard and mixed up for you right now.\n\nBottom line girlfriend ... if you REALLY love your boyfriend, you'll forget about this lust you feel.  If you have the desire and feel you cannot accept not experiencing this other guy and getting it out of your system, then you have no other choice but to get out of your current relationship.  Otherwise, you're a cheater and a user.  You may not even know what could happen if that encounter were to happen, you may lose everything because it just wasn't everything you expected.\n\nGood luck in your choice, whatever it may be!!


You and a friend are looking at the stars. your friend says, "stars must always be shrinking because gravity is constantly pulling their particles together." explain what is wrong with your friends reasoning.

Gravity is only half of the picture.\n\nThe stars gravity does tend to pull the stars material towards the center of the star.\n\nHowever, there is also an expansive force - the force of the nuclear fusion reaction that is taking place inside the start.  This reaction creates light, heat, x-rays, cosmic rays and so on.. but it also pushes against the infalling star material, trying to push it back out.\n\nThe balance between gravity and fusion energy is why the star stays (about) the same size.\n\nSometimes gravity wins, and the star compresses all the way town to a neutron star or even a black hole.\n\nSometimes the nuclear reaction wins and the star explodes in a nova or supernova.\n\nMost stars are stable for a VERY long time (billions of years).


Yes and no. Smoking don't have direct affect on your metabolism. BUT, smoking can make you forget (for a moment) about eating or craving snack if you're on stress or have nothing to do. For example, if you're exploring this Yahoo answer for 2 hours and smoking all the time, you don't have any calorie intake. Imagine if in the same 2 hours you get 2 cans of soda, big french fries, a bar of chocolate, and so on. Get what I mean?


Why is that i can't take out a law book out of the library, is it b/c other ppl might need it since it pertains to law in particular!!

You can find most statutes online.  Why deal with the books?  Law books and encyclopedias are classified as reference material.  Reference material is not loaned out to anyone.


What is the acceleration of a mass of 2 kg acted upon by a force of 2 N?  A. half as much   B. twice as much  C. the same  D. none of these  Also explain the answer please.

Answering...\n\nExperiments have been done in places where air resistance is negligible...and it was found out that objects with different masses have the same acceleration as long as the test are done within a reasonable height...Therefore, the answer is C.\n\nThis can be shown in equation form, formulated by I. Newton:\n\nF = m x a ... where:\n\nF = force in newton\nm = mass in kg.\na = acceleration in m/sec^2\n\nSo:\n\na = F/m = 2 N/2 kg = 1 m/sec. squared


ok picture day (again) what type of shirt and pants shold i wear. ( like jeans,tank)? with a white bacground?

It depends how old you are and what Ur allowed to wear. I would personally wear the shirt i have that looks best on me with the perfect hair, earrings, make-up etc.

I know this is a open chat room and I know none of you, but prayer works miracles, right?  I got the results from my doctors just now and I have a folicular neoplasm on my thyroid.  Potential is good with surgery (85% are benign) but I just want to continue the improvement rating by asking for prayer.  Where two or more are gathered He hears us and I would appreciate it if you could remember my situation in your prayers.  Thank you much =) Joshua 24:15

Me I sure will. Please keep us posted and know that you are in prayer.


My ex-girlfriend was constantly oogling over my butt (said it opened like a flower when I bent over... o_O )\n\nWhat is the purpose of it? It's not like it's something intrinsic to only males, like a guy oogling over a girl's boobs. Is there something special about a guy's butt over a girl's? Would her obsession be something for me and my butt to worry about?\n\n\nAny guy posting here will have his sexuality questioned...

We just like a nice butt. : ) And if you have one and we like you then we tend 2 make silly comments and grab your nice booty! It's pretty much the same thing as a guy likin a girls Azz or tittys. sure their just there...but if their nice then we like to make it twice as fun. and get in a good squeezzz ever now and again. lol


we knw each other since 6 yrs and i dnt wanna risk our frndship but i have the urge to tell her tht i cnt live wthout her and wanna have a future.

age gap is not a problem really, but what is your actual age? are you in a stage to understand the difference between love and attraction? affection and passion? if not, Take the advise of the elders.
