Considering football in America isn't played with the feet it always baffles me as to why they call it football, and that they call the true futbol soccer.  Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be?

The word "soccer" is a colloquial abbreviation of association (from assoc.) and first appeared in the 1880s. The word is sometimes credited to Charles Wreford Brown, an Oxford University student said to have been fond of shortened forms such as brekkers for breakfast and rugger for rugby football. In the late 19th century the word soccer tended to be used only at public schools; most people knew the game simply as football.\n\nFootball is more commonly known as soccer in certain English-speaking nations where the word "football" refers to a rival code of football developed within that nation, specifically Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United States, and also in areas where Rugby football is more popular than association football, such as Australia, New Zealand and the white communities of South Africa. In these countries "football" was often included in the names of the earliest leagues and governing bodies of the sport, but as that word became increasingly associated with other domestic forms of the game, soccer became more widely used.\n\nFootball, in its modern form, was exported by Britons to much of the rest of the world and many of these nations adopted this common English term for the sport into their own language. This was usually done in one of two ways: either by directly importing the word itself, or by translating its constituent parts, foot and ball. Most Romance languages use the word football, albeit with a different pronunciation and occasionally a different spelling: the (Spanish fútbol, Portuguese: futebol, and the French, le football is often shortened to le foot. \n\nIn Germanic languages (other than English), the term is usually translated (for example, German: Fußball, Norwegian: fotball, Swedish: fotboll, Danish: fodbold and the Dutch: voetbal. \n\nIn Italy, football is called calcio, from calciare meaning to kick.\n\nAnd Kick-Off, Field Goal and Punt are all terms to describe American Football whereby a player uses his foot to make the ball go in a certain direction.  So, American Football is played with the feet but it is played with the feet about as much as world football/futbol is played with the hands via the goal keeper or other players on a throw-in.  My question would be why is it termed football (in the rest of the world) when the goalie can use his hands all the time (provided he is in the 18 yard box) and other players use their hands to make a throw in?  It is a mixture of both hands and feet as well as your head, chest, thigh etc.  In my opinion soccer/football should be called "body ball" taking in the total amount of your body that actually touches the ball, unlike rugby and american football...just a thought.


Reason I ask is that they are 15th in the league and wont qualify for the uefa cup through their league place. so like tottenham will lose out on the champions league if arsenal win, will 6th place lose their uefa spot if boro win the trophy???

They could possibly - here's the rule from UEFA (parag 1.07 of  "Regulations of the UEFA Cup 2005/6")\n\nIf the UEFA Cup title-holders are not eligible to take part in either of the 2005/6 UEFA club competitions, the UEFA Administration may, at the request of the association concerned, admit this club to the 2005/6 UEFA Cup. Its participation will not be at the expense of the contingent of it association.


when it happens at the right place, right time, right guy, not necesarily somebody u are committed with

ive had one but learned the consequences that even though i didnt want to get emotionally involved i did and it hurt me in a big way.


My brother crushed his knee in skiing accident. His problem has gotten worse. He is out of work now and his insurance ran out. He might need to have his leg amputated to start living again. We would like to have an idea of what something like that costs.\nWe would welcome your response, Thank you, K

Believe it or not location matters. Hospital and doctor costs vary , mostly because of malpractice insurance. The prosthetics don't usually vary. But they dint happen right away until after the amputation is healed.\n\nIf you are close to a state border or a large city, the prices  may be cheaper ...yes you can shop around for elective surgery..if he is elligible for medicaid then they would help, since he has no insurance and would be disabled.


I've had to make a castle out of trash, and dress up like a grandma in public!!!

What in the world are you doing - pledging a sorority???\nNo one should be able to force you to do stupid stuff like that.


Chris is going to win with Katherine in as runner up


i have a hosiery fetish...will it ever go away and how can i get over it?

Why? I have one and I think its great, probably because I'm a girl and it's easy for me to indulge it.  I wear my stockings and garters nearly every day and love the fact that I love them, and so do most of the men I meet. \n\nJust find a girl who feels the same way , or get one with no preference and gently coax her into it.  I think most girls with nice legs and normal to small boobs, are partial to leg men and hosiery fetishes.


Why do truly, musically talented people have a hard time expressing themselves, when not playing music?

Because as I'm awriter, It's easier to express myself\nthrough words than it is spoken. I've heard musicians express this also.\nAlot has to do with shyness.


Yea, I'm single, and this old town is empty after 5:00,     ,I would like to get out and see people, but this small town is limited.

what is the largest city nearest to you, go there...the night life in larger cities is much better since they're so culturally diverse. If you want your small town to offer more...simply go to the city council, and petition for something cool that singles can do without driving to a big city. Cite the fact that the town needs something to attract singles, and the general public to local businesses.


Do I put my personal details at the top?

If your talking about a CV this is quite a long piece of work and you will need to get examples and make sure that someone proof reads it for you - coz it needs to be word perfect. One book I used to create what I now call my golden CV it's called the "Job application handbook" by Judith Johnstone.\n\nWhether you are talking about a CV or a cover letter for your CV both need to be succinct and have your personal details at the top. It is also important to have your full contact details such as your home phone and mobile number email address and your home address at the front. It is important to give them as many ways as possible to contact you. The book I used have examples of both and the do's and do'nts of writing them. \n\nHope this helps. Good luck!


any law cases, or views on wether this age limit should be inplace or should it be changed?

i think it should be changed. they're pretty much adolescents. they may rush things and make decisions they'll regret later on.

Yes, but not advisable.\n\nBecause he is drawn that way.  Besides Walt created Mickey first.\n\nBecause the braille dots are standard to all buttons.

My wife is beautiful and has great figure. She has everything a man wants. She co-operates with me. And we still enjoy like young lovers. We have plenty of sex. But problem is that she is very very choosy and I am fed up of it. We buy things at home after around 6 months when we need it. We run from shop to shop to see the things. She also interferes in my things. ex. my clothings. Moreover she does excessive shopping. Although I earn pretty good to satiate her shopping hunger but still I feel it is wastage of money. (we married 2.5yrs ago and I am 30 and she is 25)

One thing that seems to be lacking, by what you have said, is communication.  I really think that you need to sit down and talk about her spending habits and how much of your income is being used by her.  I would also ask about her 'interfering' with your clothing.  It may be that she just wants you to look your best.  Believe it or not, women often have a much better sense of style and are able to see what makes a man look his best.  I don't know if this is the situation, but sometimes a woman spends so much money shopping to punish their husband.  If you have cheated on her in the past, it may be one possible answer.  If you have done something in your past to really hurt her, that is another reason she may punish you or if you spend too much time at work or with friends or activities...that is another possible reason.  If discussing it in a sincere and not hostile, judgmental or malicious way doesn't work, you may need to seek counseling.  I hope this helps a bit and good luck!


HI. I am learning English right now. I got a quetion while I was watching a drama called "The war at home"\nLet me put down the converstion between two chracters.\n\nA:and as I recall, you were a pretty fast learner.\n\nB:yeah, well, when the whole thing last a minute and a half  you have to learn fast.\n\nWhat the hell does "the whole thing last a minute and a half" means? It's a kind of idiom or what?\nI think it doesn't grammtically make sense at all.\nPlease help me out.. English is really...difficutl for me to learn by myself.

I am not familiar with that piece of literature, but it suggests to me that the character had to figure out how to solve a problem, but only had a minute and a half to do so before some disaster happens.  I would have to see it in context to help you better.  Also, the word should be "lasts," not "last."

Im a novive programer, and a friend brought a dell CPI laptop with an ADMIN password.  When i boot up laptop it goes straight into passord protect. I cant even get into the boot menue or anything. Also cant re format the laptop with a CD. I JUST CANT DO ANYTHING.....If any 1 knows 2 please advise.\nThx, Peter

WIth a laptop, you would have to reset the CMOS which would involve taking the whole laptop apart and removing the battery. Best to take it to a shop for this.


Okay, like a couple of years ago i remember seeing this horror movie on TV its not well known or anything...its this guy and girl that goes in a cabin to stay and she becomes possessed and there was this part where her head is like on a counter with the eyes rolled back and her body was holding a chainsaw trying to kill the boyfriend....there was another part where hes crossing a bridge and it breaks and something behind him is trying to suck him up into it...its weird  CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE NAME???

I believe you're talking about "Evil Dead."  It is a cult classic directed by Sam Raimi (Spiderman) and stars B-movie legend Bruce Campbell.\n\nThere were also 2 more movies in the series.  "Evil Dead 2" was basically the same movie shot again with more money.\n\n"Army of Darkness" is the continuation from the end of ED2, where our hero ends up 1000 years in past.  AoD is one of the all time great horror/comedy movies of all time.


I know that no Laws school is "easy" to get into, but any information would be helpful.

Many are easy to get into.  Law schools often accept hundreds of people into each class who have no ability to succeed in school.  This is because they want the first year tuition payments.  It is a scam.  Check it out by seeing how big the entering class is and compare it to the graduating classes three years later.  10-20% attrition is OK.  More than 20% is questionable.  30% or higher is a scam!


When she left she said she wasnt ready for a bf. I have not talked to her since.We went out for 3 months. I gave her a nice watch for her for her birthday, which happened to be withen a week within she broke up with me. Today she wore for the first time in a while is this a hint that she does want to talk to me and if so what should i do? How should i approach her?

Dude. Let it go! She doesn't want u. stop lookin for signs that she might be interested. START looking at other girls who haven't already dumped u.


i believe i heard somewhere that they can dive as deep as 1700 feet.


In most businesses, increasing prices of their product can have a negative effect on the number of customers of the business. A bus company in a small town has an average number of riders of 800 per day. The bus company charges $2.25 for a ride.They conducted a survey of their customers and found that they will lose approximately 40 customers per day for each $.25 increase in fare.

You have a point (2.25, 800) and a slope of 40/-0.25, or -160.  The slope is a rate of change - if you lost 40 customers per $0.25, then your slope is 40/-0.25.\n\nTo find the equation of the line, use the point-slope formula:\n\ny - y1 = m(x - x1)\ny - 800 = -160(x - 2.25)\ny - 800 = -160x + 360\ny = -160x + 1160\n\nThe graph will be a line starting at (0, 1160) and going down with a slope of -160.  The domain will start at 0 - since the x-axis represents money, you have to exclude negative numbers.  To find the rightmost value for the domain, find the x-intercept:\n\n0 = -160x + 1160\n160x = 1160\nx = 7.25\n\nSo your domain is [0, 7.25].  The range will be [0, 1160] - 0 for no customers, 1160 from the y-intercept.


Will push ups help you? What part of the body will it help you? Curl ups will they help you, too.? What other exercises help you? And what part of your body wil it benefit you?

I work at a video game store, and for 2005, the game Dance Dance Revolution for either Playstation 2 or XBOX was voted the number cardio vascular endurance exercise routine!  How can you beat that?!  exercising and playing a video game... I know that this is a true statement because I have friends who have been playing this game and they even said that they lost weight playing the game.  you should check it out, it only costs about $60 for the game and the dance pad that you use with it.  GameCrazy will carry it, just check out your local store and sometimes they have them used so you save even more money.  Good luck!


It seems whenever I take tests that I "freeze up"--some prime examples are my math and IQ tests; when I went over the math test with my teacher, it seemed that I knew the concepts after the tests, but I thought I'd known before taking the test.  On my IQ test, when I was tested in a classroom with other students, my score was about 21 points lower than when I was later privately tested.  Do I have a problem and if so, how can I prevent it?

IQ tests are almost never given as group tests.\n\nBy the way, I am not an idiot, I am in school to be a Special Education Teacher...my 4th year...and I have a 3.8.  \n\nIowa tests are not IQ tests...they are achievement tests.  Good try though.


How many days does it last?   Does it start on Ash Wednesday and end on Easter, Palm Sunday or Good Friday?

It starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday.


I never feel content with things like jobs, living situations, school.  I don’t think I’m depressed, because I enjoy spending time with friends and checking out movies and bands and stuff like that.  But whenever I start a new job, after a month of feeling new I start to get bored and it’s not long before I already want a change.  I left my home state for grad school and after a semester I was miserable and came back to a school closer to home.  After two months at the new school, I’m feeling miserable again.  But I know if I get back to my hometown, it will just be a matter of time before I’m feeling listless again.  What’s going on with me?

I also go through the same thing. Actually, I asked a question like this not long ago. I think that it is boredom, loneliness, maybe ADD. Find something that keeps you busy. Even if you don't feel like it, get more involved in things going on at your school. Find community projects, get a part-time job, just get out and meet a lot of people. I did the same thing as you, I started school away from home, and after one semester, I went back home. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, and now it has been 4 years since I left school. Please stay in school. If you keep thinking that this "new thing" is going to be perfect and the solution to all your problems, you will be let down. Just take things day-by-day, find something different to do everyday.


'bloody' is not rude at all down under, i'm confused\nso for all the people from anywhere else, is the word 'bloody' rude?

I think they're both acceptable, except in formal situations.  I'm damn confused about why you're even asking this bloody question.  :-)


Position Players:\n\nC - Javier Lopez (Bal)\n1B - Jim Thome (CWS)\n2B - Bill Mueller (Bos)\n3B - Chad Tracy (Ari)\nSS - Jack Wilson (Pit)\nOF - Andruw Jones (Atl)\nOF - Gary Sheffield (NYY)\nOF - Jay Gibbons (Bal)\nUtil - Craig Wilson (Pit)\nBN - Edgar Renteria (Atl - SS) *Injured*\nDL - Chipper Jones (Atl - 3B)\n\nPitchers:\n\nSP - Erik Bedard (Bal)\nSP - Tim Hudson (Atl)\nRP - Ryan Dempster (ChC)\nRP - Danys Baez (LAD)\nP - Joe Blanton (Oak)\nP - Matt Clement (Bos)\nP - Mike Gonzalez (Pit)\nBN - Dave Bush (Mil)\nBN - Jeff Weaver (LAA)\nBN - Mark Prior (ChC) *Injured*\nBN - John Thompson (Atl)\n\n\nChipper Jones/Edgar Renteria are my two starters, I picked up Jack Wilson and Chad Tracy to fill their spots, so I'll probably drop at least Jack Wilson but keep Tracy on the bench in case someone gets injured.\n\nI tend to switch Jay Gibbons, Craig Wilson, and Jim Thome between OF/1B/Util positions depending on if/when/who they are playing.\n\nAny suggestions?

First I'd check for a C upgrade. Lopez isn't bad, but I picked up Ramon Hernandez today and Willingham recently on another team. It never hurts to look. While Mueller is hot now, he's not a long term answer. You really should be getting some SBs out of this position. Check out Josh Barfield of SD or Castillo of Pittsburgh. Your team is vitually bereft of speed. SPs are weak. I'd drop Weaver and look at Bannister of the Mets.Trade Clement now before he reverts to his normal form. Andruw Jones supplies great HR?RBIs, but he's a drain on team batting average. I would be inclined to offer Thome or Jones for an SP. Keep your eyes on the free agents in your league. Use your DL slot. Always good to keep one guy on the DL, so if another goes on the DL, you can just switch them. I think your team is mid-pack talent wise. You need a couple front of the order guys for runs and SBs. Maybe Granderson or Stewart are available. Maybe package Thome or Jones plus Clement. Get an SP with era/whip and a .300+ hitter who'll replace some of the HRs you traded.


I see a lot of questions stating 17, single and looking for a man, are these questions annoying or relavent?

No, it shouldn't.  It also shouldn't be used as a forum for teenagers vulgarity and sexual play but it is.


I wnated to know what is caramel colored skin and what are some examples of celebritys who have caramel skin.

Caramel= Jennifer Lopez, golden brown, like caramel candies.


I want to ask them for their autograph.\nEmma Watson, Danie Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint are the people I am going to send the letters to.(in the United Kingdom)

I would tell Emma how she is not like the other teenage celebrity girls in a very good way (Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, etc. etc.). Mention how you hope she stays real and not fake.\n\nTo the guys just say they're good actors. I'm not really sure.

I just realized that my youngest brother is graduating from high school this year...I still see him as a baby I guess...lol.  Anyway, what is the best gift for a high school graduate?  I know that money is a good one...but I don't want to give him money (he's just going to go out and buy anime...lol).  Any ideas?

Depends on what his plans are for the future....\n\nIf he's heading off to college or university, then something he'll be able to use in his studies. \n\nIf he's off to the military, Police Grade body armor might (unfortunately) be helpful.\n\nOr just give him an Animation Production cel from Anime Shows...

I have been divorced for 3 years, and have heard that my ex has been gambling and just a loser.  He was my best friend, and I really miss him.  Considering he lives 1/2 way across the country, I am seriously considering going to a conference that's 6 hours away from him.  If I'm that close, why not drive the extra miles?  I have some time off from work, and really miss his family and old friends.  I wouldn't go to beg him to get back together, just a "hi, how are you, I'm in town."  Do you think this is a good idea?  Why or why not?  I would like to take him out on the town, and say that I'm really fine even though he gave up on me.  He left me because he wasn't really financially or emotionally ready to be married.  Maybe I wasn't either

i dont think it would hurt anything if you were to go see him, but be careful he may think that you are trying to rub your success in his face and get really upset with you.  But if it were me and if it werent for my kids, i would have nothing at all to do with my ex.  Do what you feel is right for you


i don't know something tells me i should but theres things dat are hard to let go of.... so can someone tell me is it worth it?

Yes being baptized is really that big...on a spiritual level only.  One must realize that believing in God and Jesus is not meant to be mainly on a physical basis.  They are an essence.  Their rules, rites and rituals were commanded for us to obey, yes.  However, As Jesus had put it in human terms, we are to be more concerned with our soul.  This is what will truly make us or break us from our relationship with God.  Love conquers all.  Remember?  Being just, up right, honest and compassionate will aide our souls to salvation.  Being baptized is a ritual.  One that Jehovah commanded, carried out by John the baptist and Jesus finalized one of the sacred rituals that must be done.  This doesn't mean that everyone must be baptized.  Those that are of ignorance, uneducated about our Saviour will not be damned.  But to make a conscience decision NOT to be baptized is something you may have to contend with later on in your life.  Remember, that it is not the wide path which will lead you through the gate, you must take the narrow path.  This will lead you to eternal life.


what do you think of women having tattoos?do you find themm intertesting and turning on or not?

i don't think it's a problem, no matter the size. it all depends on the person, and that goes for male and female. some people suit big tattoos, while others suit them smaller. it just depends on who you are, and how comfortable you are with yourself


I have a really heavy flow and instead of having my period every month, i skip one or even two. I'm looking for something that can control i.e a birth control pill that isn't strong.

There are tablets which you can take which aren't hormone based but which help to decrease the flow and the pain.\n\nMefenamic Acid is an anti-prostaglandin (prostaglandins cause the pain during your period) and you take it for a few days before your period is due and for the first couple of days of your period. It help reduce the pain, and also over time reduces the amount of blood loss.\n\nTranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic and is used to reduce blood flow. \n\nBoth tranexamic acid and mefenamic acid can be used together to reduce blood flow during a period. However, the best thing really is to go onto the birth control pill - it dramatically reduces bleeding and pain.\n\nAlso, since your periods are irregular, it may be worth speaking to your doctor about having blood tests done, or possibly an ultrasound to see whether you may have something like PCOS.


I am always trying to make my younger brother laugh, but he just won't budge! I want him to be cracking up, please help!

Recent research suggests drinking a glass of tart cherry juice might help defuse arthritis pain. Researchers from Michigan State University found anthocyanins, the same chemicals that give tart cherries their color, may have more powerful anti-inflammatory effects than aspirin. It's still unknown whether this might translate into pain relief for arthritis patients in the real world.


If your friend had an STD and your OTHER friend wanted to fool around with her because the girl WITH the STD said she was clean, would you tell the OTHER friend that the girl HAD the STD? Or would you not say anything? My friend(we'll call her K) wanted to fool around with another friend (we'll call her J), but J has an STD. J told K that she DIDN'T have any STD's, though... so when K asked me about it, I told her the truth... that K DID have an STD... was I wrong for doing that?  BTW... She has HPV... the Human Papiloma Virus

It was wrong for you to pass the information for these reasons :\n\n1. what someone tells you about themselves should be kept confidential by you....it is a trust\n2. you have no first-hand knowledge of the validity of J's assertion. She could have just made the story up.\n\nThe correct thing for you to have done would have been to confront J about endangering/infecting another person, because that is a selfish, vile thing for her to do. If she doesn't take heed to your advice, you can inform her that a civil suit could be brought against her. \nSecondly, you should have told K to ask J herself. You should not have been asked to be put in the middle.\n\nAs for J, there is no cure for her STD. K is not the only person who will be caught in this snare. You will not be able to warn all of your friends who will be at risk in the future. Casual sex has serious consequences, because some people (like J) are unidisciplined, indiscrimnate and conscienceless.


"RACISTS" when the issue is clearly about ILLEGAL entry into our country?

Name calling is the last resort of people with no argument .\nThere is nothing racist about wanting the enforce the immigration policies of a nation. In fact, using the term “racist,” or calling someone biased in one way or another [toward race] is undoubtedly the stupidest argument you can use, and not to mention a blatant show of your hand, which proves the fact that you have nothing left to argue with, and are using it as a last resort.

I've been living with my bf for 3 years now, he has a past of going to massage parlors and paying for sex. I forgave him for it bc he said he has a problem and wants to get help. He still has not seen or talked to anyone about this and Im always accussing him and I just can't forget the past. He says he is not doing anything anymore. We never had sexual problems he just admits to being a sex addict. I do everything to spice it up and Im still worried he is going to go out on me again. Do I leave him because Im insecure about this and I can't trust him? Or do I stay because I should trust him and believe what he tells me? I couldn't take another heart break.

Dr Steve summed it up best.  He's telling you what you want to hear and going to be doing it behind your back.  Unless he gets help he's not going to change.\n\nIt has nothing to do with you.  It's all about him.  I know you want to believe but sometimes you have to listen to your head instead of your heart.\n\nYou can't live your life worried.  You need to be secure in your relationship.  You are not.  Tell him if he doesn't get help by (Pick a date), than your leaving.

my hits are everywhere like some fly into the net and some just go way out of bounds. the thing i dunno is when do i begin my approach ?\nlike do i go right when the ball reaches the setter's hands or do i leave (as in take my first step) after the setter gives a set?

Generally, you leave for your approach when the ball is at the top of its curve.  If you leave right after the setter sets the volleyball, you'll be too early, and if you leave after the volleyball is at the highest point in its curve, you'll be too late.


the marketing campaign is like a virus that will not go away!

It probably wasn't one of your kids.

I'm assuming that what's happened is that Movipass has installed itself on your computer and you're now getting repeated demands for payment because your 3 day trial has expired.  These demands will be in the form of pop-ups that play music and tell you that you must pay or your credit rating will be impaired, legal action taken etc etc.  The pop-ups last for 90 seconds and stop you doing anything with your computer.\n\nWhat you probably aren't aware of is that you have an account with Movipass (just like the program you never wanted you've also got an account you never wanted).\n\nIf you go to this website... http://profend.com/answers/moviepass it will take you through all the steps needed to cancel your account and remove MoviePass from your computer.


what are the differences and which one would you prefer in a .17 rimfire rifle?

It kind of depends on the situation.  If you are doing varmint hunting or shooting in windy conditions, go for the 20grain.  If you are target shooting indoors or on a calm day, go for the 17.  Or, if you're like me and live in the middle of nowhere, go for whatever the hardware store can order in :)


I have a good life, great friends and a boyfriend but I always feel so sad! whats wrong with me?

figure out what brings you down - that'll be your start - or post it, I'd like to help - there is no fun living sad!


What do you prefer in a guy Pumped up and bulging muscles or lean and atheltic

Lean and athletic...big guys look awkward sometimes.


I want flat toned abs. im not fat, but i have a little extra stomach that i dont want. what do i do thats healthy quick and easy.

Short cuts may give you instant results! But cannot guarantee happiness in the longer run.\n\nTherefore, I strongly advise you to do some exercise regularly (like brisk walk in the morning, after dinner but before you go to bed etc and some kind of exercises which are easy and can be done at home itself!)\n\nAlso try yoga they are very helpful\n\nBest of LUCK


it be? I have no real preference for Bush, though Nixon I do have opinions on...I will pick a best answer depending on how cool/funny your comment is...thanks!

To Bush: "Allthough I do not agree with what you say I shall defend to the death your right to say it."\n\nTo Nixon: "Right on brother down with the establishment."

Since the brain has no nerve endings, what actually hurts during a headache? If I know, I might be able to stop my chronic headaches. I know MSG does it, so I stay away from it. Does anyone have any other food "triggers"?

Narrowly defined, headache is pain in the head or face, and sometimes also includes pain in the upper neck. Pain sensitive structures in the head and face include the skin, bone and structures in the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Also, the large blood vessels of the head are exquisitely sensitive and these are the principal organs causing pain in vascular headaches, such as migraines. The jaw hinge (called the temporomandibular joint) and the teeth can also generate headache. The brain itself is not pain sensitive and is not a source of head pain. \n\nThe most common type of headache is the tension or muscle contraction type, which is frequently caused by spasms in the neck muscles and the muscles of mastication (chewing). This type of headache is usually treated easily by over-the-counter medications. More intense headaches are caused by unknown mechanisms. Most theories of vascular headache involve the relationship between the nerves and the blood vessels, both of which can be sensitive.


(cont.) on the police list, how is this possible? here are the some things to help u out, or get u more confused either way here it goes.... the 2 people arent really dead, the list isnt a list of dead people.. come on, has anyone heard this riddle before?

I take it that there were only 2 people in the vehicle and the others were people involved but not directly a part of the accident...hmmm...


Going as a big group, mostly seasoned boarders from overseas, some newbies, and also 1 or 2 who just want to see snow and the surrounding area. Most probably going on a weekend. Also, my second question is any recommended snow tours (Ozsnow, Mojosnow, etc)? THANKS HEAPS!

At Perisher Blue, beginners lessons must be taken at either Smiggins or Blue Cow for the duration of the ticket\n This is the best bet!


I feel that some values has changed... something has been missing but i don't know exactly what are them...\n\nDo you all also feel the same? If you do, what do you think they are then...?

It used to be neighborhoods had people that were home all day. Kids had a bit more freedom because no matter where you were someones mom probably saw you. \nPeople now are much more concerned about what they own and how they will get it, we think we have more needs and are always trying to keep up with the standard we see in the media. We are a society of image rather than relationships. We preach tolerance and we judge appearances.\nWe move too fast and seem to think treating each other in insulting ways in comedic. \nPeople demand respect but seldom give it. We judge fast and forgive slowly.


It's about a young girl who sees her daddy kill her mother then himself. Later in church she sees a picture of Jesus and says that she saw Him in the living room the night her parents died. I need the singer and title if anyone knows.\nThanks.

i am asking this question because i know there is a limit on controlled substances but i could not find anything on regular prescriptions. an example would be you go to your doctor and he prescribes lipitor daily. he gives you 8 refills. i want to know if that is allowed.

The rules can differ from state to state. Here in Indiana you can get six months refills on a controlled substance, and a full year on non controlled. In Indiana only certain controlled substances can be called in to the pharmacy. Vicodin can be called in with refills but Percocet has to be a written prescription for each refill.


Most of the expression definitions I find on the site I can't find in the dictionary. But the ones I find in both have the same definition. So does that mean the site is trustable. Is that site a real online french dictionary?

I've found wordreference.com to be the best translating site out there, at least for French and English.  I'm sure there are some errors and inaccuracies, but I've never seen one.

Someone stole mine and threw it off a bridge.

Go to walmart, or dunhams. They have bikes from $60.00 to $350.00. It depends what you are looking for. I think mine was around $150.00. I take it out everyday, and i go off the beaten path alot. It holds up pretty good. I know in a few years i might want to up grade, but for the price, it works for now. especially if you are tight on cash.If you go to walmart, just be careful your tire isn't bent, and check everything before you go out. My brakes were really tight, and i had to do a few adjustments all around. That is the only bitch, but i figure i would have had to do that with any bike. Plus i know my equipment now. good luck!


could you give me web sites on lighning or help me in a way to find out more about lighting

Lighting is here in Missouri right now. =)


who discovered asteroids and meteoroids?\nwhen?\nPlease help, it's for a project

In the last few years of the 18 cetury (I estimate between 1793-1799) Baron Franz Xaver von Zach ordered a group of 24 astronomers to find a "missing planet" (the planet we know now as neptune) to solve the mystery of uranus's strange rotation.  However, the first asteroid discovered, 1 ceres, was discovered by accident by Giuseppe Piazzi.  Later, there were several other found.  The ammount keep going on through today!


At Blockbuster there werent any copies of BrokB Mt. so I went up to 2 workers to ask  \nSo I ask: Hi, do you guys have brokeback mt.?\nOn of the guys: Uhm I'm not sure. Let me check for you.

(still doing the wide staring thing)\nMe: It's fine (walks away, gets more movies, gets in line)\nSo there's this guy in front of me taking a long time because he doesnt understand somethng. And during the whole time, I could see the cash reg. guy sneakn obvious looks at me. Finally-\nHim: Hey again. Sorry about that \nMe: It's fine. Don't worry bout it\nHim: (checkin in old movies) So how'd you like Fun with Dick n Jane?\nMe:Eh. It was aight\nHim: Ya I watchd it in the theatres I didnt like it at all \nMe: Yeah, Jim Carey does a lot of overactin\nHim: Yeah seriously Well here are your movies (starin intens n smilin) Bye

what colors would you be and what would that llok like to me?\nWHY?

This is like one of those projective personality tests. =/\nI'd say a multitude of colors. Each color taking a majority of the sphere under different circumstances. Never always the same color. \nWhy? Because there are many sides to the same person and they surface under different circumstances.


for example. i find a beatifull cuty girl busy buying something in a mall,or  a girl walking by or sitting alone in a mall, how can i reach her and start a normal conversation without getting embaresse.\n\ngive me something workble

There isn't a non-embarassing way to approach a girl in the mall.  I know when I shop I am browsing or have something I am looking for.  If a guy approach me, I would think he is strange.  Let's say you are in a store that she is in; you could go over and ask her what she thinks of this or that (sweater, shoes, whatever) and strike up a conversation that way.  \n\nFor example: pick up a sweater and go over to where she is.  Ask her if she would wear it because you are thinking about buying it as a gift for your sister...(Don't use your mom because she might think you are insulting her or saying so has mature taste).  Then ask her what she like her boyfriend to get her as a gift.  This way you will know her tastes and if she has a boyfriend.  If she doesn't have a boyfriend say something like, "Thanks for your help, can I buy you a cup of coffee for your time?"\n\nBut pay attention to her body language because you don't want to freak her out if she gives you a look like, "This guy is insane."  If she looks bewildered, just drop it.  Thank her for her time and MOVE ON.  \n\nGood luck


I want to send a classic poem to my ex. He broke up w/me & I feel pretty used. I'm strong and getting over it but he keeps trying to contact me despite my ignoring him. I want to send him a good poem that will get my point across (I'm strong and moved on and don't need you so leave me alone.) while confusing the crap out of him at the same time, seeing as he's not too literate.

Try this\n\nFarewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,\nAnd like enough thou know'st thy estimate:\nThe charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;\nMy bonds in thee are all determinate.\nFor how do I hold thee but by thy granting?\nAnd for that riches where is my deserving?\nThe cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,\nAnd so my patent back again is swerving.\nThyself thou gavest, thy own worth then not knowing,\nOr me, to whom thou gavest it, else mistaking;\nSo thy great gift, upon misprision growing,\nComes home again, on better judgment making.\nThus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter,\nIn sleep a king, but waking no such matter. \n\nWilliam Shakespeare Sonnet 87


By doing the work for them you are defeating the purpose of the assignment. Their minds that need to be developed and they need to take ownership of their education. Don't enable them.

I completely agree with you on that one.


y does it matter if a team NEEDS' a player. i think the texans just made one of teh bigest mistakes ever. if they wanted mario willams they could hav easily moved to the #2 cuz i dont think taht the saints would have taken mario with reggie there. but with the NEED, dom davis has very good hands. he could easily be a WR or even trade bait. that is just like saying u spend ur 1st pick on phillip rivers when u hav drew breese or u resign holmes when u hav larry. u dont want to give up a player that can make ur team very good for a player who can make the team good if he and the players around him play well.

Well teams draft based on "need" because that is what they need.  Do you think that the Colts would draft a QB because he is the best player on the board when it's their turn to pick?  No, they pick based on team needs, not fan favorite.  I do understand that passing on Bush is a gamble on the Texans part, but they didn't need a RB.  The Texans have lots of other positions on the team they need to fill, and I don't think Reggie would have filled their "needs" as well as Williams will.  Houston is hurting for good defensive players, and Offensive line, Reggie doesn't play in any of those positions.


This castle is supposed to be set in Wales during 1076. Does anyone know some easy ways i can build it?

try finding a picture and then designing your castle aroud that. I had to make one for school a few years ago, and my sister just made on a few weeks ago, so im an old pro by now ( :) ). Just search "castles" under pitures, or find a castle in a movie or show or even a video game that you like. if possible, get pictures of the same castle from a few different angles. it makes life a lot easier.


And now, years later your teeth are crocked and you're mad at yourself for not wearing the stupid retainer because "it didn't look cool" or "it made me talk funny"?

Oh I wore the braces, had the head gear, the rubber bands, and also at the same time wore glasses! Yes, I was truly a geek! However I wore the upper retainer, and lost the bottom retainer while I was swimming in the lake. So now, at least my upper teeth are great, but somewhere there was a fish who found my bottom retainer! I still don't like that lake.

The Democrats in the USA always praise that the europeans system is what the USA should move to, that is universal healthcare, full benefits for all workers, yet they seem to overlook the 30% unemployment and low wages of europeans, and the lack of jobs for its youth.  Canada has universal health care and people die waiting in line for as long as two years before they get treatment.

Uh... 30 percent unemployment... that seems to be a blatant lie... \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_unemployment_rate\n\nand I know several people that have died here in the U.S. because they couldn't afford proper treatment... I would rather be on a list than in a country where you have to be rich to get health care...


I'm a huge Star Wars fan and i was reading an article on lightsabers at wikipedia.com and it said that the only real way that a lightsaber could be created was if a quantum and a quasar singularity could be contained in one area. It then went on to talk about how there was nothing known to contain a quantum singularity and i was wondering what it was and was hoping to get answers from someone who knew what they was talking about and not some trekkie.

A black hole isn't necessarily big or heavy. Any mass M which is compressed to \n\nSchwarzschild Radius: R = 2*G*M/c²\n\ngravitational constant: G = 6,6742/10^11 m³/(kg*m²)\nspeed of light: c = 2,9979*10^8 m/s\n\n\nwill collapse and form a black hole, theoretically. If you have such a thing and want to carry it around you have to isolate it from surronding matter because everything touching the event horizont R will fall into it. But that's science fiction. Rumours say that romulans use tiny black holes for their warp drives and call them quantum singularities.\n\nHawking Radiation\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation


People who identify with being a "conservative" seem to embrace liberal ideas and notions in regard to our economy, wars, and environmental resources.  "Liberals"  seem to be more gaurded or "conservitve" when it comes to the political issues?

I find most people tend to vote based on what their family or peers do. Why do the Liberals act so conservative? Why do the Conservatives act so liberal? Simple. Votes. They appeal to a wider range of the population this way. Plus this just tells you what you want to hear. Which proves what most of us think...they are all the same.


The most common during the winter season is Upper Respitory Infection and can become quite nasty if not treated.  Some have a quick onset of URI's.\n\nAcute respiratory infections can affect both the upper or lower respiratory systems. An Upper Respiratory Infection or URI involves the ears, nose, throat or sinuses. Infections of the lower respiratory system, usually referred to as LRI or Lower Respiratory Infections involve the trachea or wind pipe, bronchial tubes (which bring air into the lungs) and the lungs themselves. When a respiratory infection strikes, one or both of these systems can be involved.\nDiagnosis is made on the history of the symptoms, their progression, onset and degree, degree of fever, and examination of the head, ears, nose, throat and lungs, if indicated. Usually the combination of medical history and physical examination can make the diagnosis of URI versus LRI or both. To determine how severe the illness is, or whether complications have set in, diagnostic laboratory testing such a cellular blood count (CBC) may be necessary. When it is necessary to determine a specific cause of secondary infection, cultures of the ears, nose, throat or sputum may be indicated. To determine the extent and degree of secondary infection involving the sinus' and/or lungs, a chest or sinus x-rays may be necessary. \n\nBoth URI and LRI are caused by viruses that are going around in the community. Exposure is inevitable unless you never leave your house. The key to prevention is keeping your self in good health and protecting yourself in periods of high risk.

Please I need help because these torrent files are irritating!!

Well you obviously need to download the file with bit torrent or azureus. .torrent files are only files containing the information to find the pieces of the file you want. Azureus seems to be the best Ive found although there are many other clients. Once you download the movie it should play like a normal movie. There are many help files on the Azureus website to help with any problems.

If we all (regardless of our religion/faith) practiced at least these commandments:\n\n5.  Thou shall honor your father and your mother \n6.  Thou shall not murder \n7.  Thou shall not commit adultery. \n8.  Thou shall not steal. \n9.  Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor \n10. Thou shall not covet that which God has given to another

It would begin to look like the restored paradise promised to mankind by Jehovah.\n\n(Matthew 5:5-9) “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth. “Happy are those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, since they will be filled. “Happy are the merciful, since they will be shown mercy. “Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God. “Happy are the peaceable, since they will be called ‘sons of God.’\n\n(Psalm 37:10,11,29) And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. ...The righteous themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will reside forever upon it.\n\nhttp://www.watchtower.org


i only ever take astrology as a bit of fun,really and it sounds like a silly question - but i am a little curious. my son was meant to be born an Aquarius, but he came early and is actually a Capricorn. does being premature effect a baby's personality? i know that it won't be noticed for a while yet, though.

Hi!  I was born two months early, and should have been a Scorpio, but I'm a Virgo, and sometimes I've considered this as well.  But really, to the extent that astrology can be considered an influence, the only thing that matters is the actual time of birth.  The arrangements of the planets in the sky are said to exert an influence over the individual born during a certain arrangement.  A person's chart is, theoretically at least, meant to be like a snap-shop of the sky at the time of birth, and that's all that matters.  If he was born a Capricorn, he's a Capricorn.  Good luck with your little goat!  They are cute, serious little fellows.


i was just wondering i dont know if i want to have one and didnt want it to be wierd.

It's not weird, but if you're not gonna have a party for your guests, don't expect gifts from them.


I have known since 2nd grade and now we are in 6th grade. Last week I told her last week that I liked her and she said her mom won't let her have a girlfriend but she said if she could I might have a chance. I need help for when she can have a girlfriend I need to know what to say. So please help me out.

You have already said it - you have informed her that you like her, and she let you know that you might have a chance.\nNow, until her mom is ready to let her date, you will just have to sit tight and hope that when her mom does say yes - that the girl will pick you to date.  If you don't know her mom, and if her mom does not know you, then it might help you to get to know her mom better and do some nice things for her mom.  If you win her mom's favor and trust, maybe in time her mom will let the two of you go out.  You could invite this girl to have dinner at your parents - with the permission of your parents - and she can invite you to her parents' place. \n\nJust bide your time - and if it is meant to be that you two can date, then the waiting will be well worth it.\n\nGood Luck!


What is your birth order status (first born, middle, last, or only child)?  Do you think the stereotypes are accurate?

I'm the youngest, and yes babied more than my older brothers and sisters.\n\nSometimes it's good, because everyone wants to help me and buy me things (I get more at Christmas than everybody else, and I'm not a child anymore).


im looking for a good laptop. one that i can track my business payroll, inventory, clientel but also use for everyday things pictures, movies downloding music. its very important that its fast has good wireless range and reception, has a good amount of memoryand isnt too bulky

I just bought a new HP dv5030us from Circuit City for $999 after a $200 mail in rebate.  It has an AMD Turion64 processor (2GHz), 1 GB of RAM, 100 GB harddrive, DVD Burner with Lightscribe, and Windows XP Media Center.  The 15.4" WXGA widescreen looks really bright and sharp, too (great for movies).\n\nI've been happy with it so far except that its battery life is not as good as a comparable laptop running the Centrino architecture.\n\nIt has plenty of horsepower for running simple business applications (any modern new laptop will).  If you want to play around with photos, movies, music, etc. then you might want to try out this one due to the XP Media Center operating system.


my girlfriend pee's everytime she is at the point of having a orgasm.

That also happens to me, although i have not had intercourse, but i can't orgasim, because i am afraid to pee on him. He wants me to orgasim for him, so bad, that he said that the nexttime i am close, no matter where we are (car, house, hotel,) he is not stoping till it happens. He said it is ok if i pee on him. He doesn't care, because he wants to make sure i am satisfied. Isn't that LOVE!\n\nBut anyway i found out that some women, have a build up of fluid and it is not pee, it comes as they are aroused. Not pee

need help purchacing a home what benifits dose a 1st time home buyer have?

Its not easy buying a home with bad credit. Its not easy buying a home with good credit now adays. I say, go through a credit builder and discuss your debt with them. It might take some months or even some years until you get your credit straight before you buy a home.  If you have bad credit now, the house is just gonna make it worse if you don't pay your notes and bills.

I passed my O-levelsbut lack finances to persue my childhood dreams

Get an entry-level job in the field and work your way up.  You can start doing something semi-related that doesn't require a degree, then once you're in, if the company has an education assistance program they will help pay for your degree granted you stay employed for so many years.  That's the best way to go, student loans are another option, but that's just borrowing money now that you'll have to pay back with interest later.

i heard of diet that consists in eating only fruits in the morning, preferably citrics.  At lunch you can only have protein and veggies, or carbs and veggies, but not protein and carbs. in the afternoon you can eat dairy products. Dinner is the same as lunch.....\n\nhas someone herd of it, does it work, effectively????

No "diet" works unless you make it a permanent part of your eating ( and exercising) habits. If you want to know what has been proven NOT to work see here:\nhttp://heightandweightchart.blogspot.com/2005/02/weight-loss-myths.html\n\nThere's also an article on miracle pills that don't work (none of them work) and some real plain facts about what actually gets you to lose weight and keep it off for good.


ok i have to do a powerpoint presentation on lithuania and its population and i need some help finding some sites for specific info. such as the status of women in lithuanian society, what lithuania needs to tackle their population issue, enviromental impacts of lithuania's population growth, social impacts of lithuania's population growth, the estimated number of years it will take for lithuania's population to double, and i think thats it. any help would be extremly appreciated. thanks. also any question or comments can be emailed to me a mammamia139@yahoo.com. \n                         -sami

Sorry, I don't quite know where you can find these resources... Just a thought about the doubling of population - for the last 15 or so years the death rate has been exceeding the birth rate. So in Lithuania we are actually counting years until our population approaches 0. Some experts say it may happen within 100-200 years if things don't turn around.

My daughter passed away two years ago this coming monday. We wish to auction-off the hat to start a Scholarship for band students wishing to pursue a music degree.( our daughter was a band student) How do we get started? any suggestions on how to get started and should we auction it off.

Wow!\nWell... you should get media support I think. Talk to local radio stations and even newspapers. You could auction it off online (at ebay), or maybe also ask for support from professional local agencies, considering this is an item that might be interesting to a lot of people.\nNow, what you have to be careful with, is proving that that hat actually belonged to Selena, and that you obtained it fairly. If it was a gift, this might be a little complicated. And if it was a gift by someone like Yolanda Saldivar (with a not very pleasant public record and police history), this might be a little delicate.\nI really can't tell you much more, but special agencies can help you with this. You don't want to face charges or accusatios for lying or offering a fake item, that hat may have been obtained improperly before it got to your hands. Your good action might turn into an ugly problem if you don't have everything clear!\nBe careful with this! And look for local auction houses. \n\nGood luck!


doing family  genealogy research with the usa

I've been researching for 3 years (i live in Maryland/ Delaware mason-dixon line area) and use ancestry.com, too. but to be honest, i found a lot of misinformation there...try rootsweb.com......it has a lot, at least it did for me and it's FREE. i paid $200 for ancestry. i found it was just a good place to start, but lots of bad "info" that can be confusing to starters, though it does have great census and newspaper collections.\nmy best advice is to enter the address for your research areas (county, state, etc.) in google and follow it from there...u will find libraries and so much more, even Archives with family records. i found out that my family were early settlers from England in the First state, Delaware, and had tons of my family's records, Bibles, etc. in the state and national archives. \nHappy Hunting! It's amazing what you'll find once you get going!

So Harper has decided not to lower our flags when soldiers are returned home in caskets and also banning media, saying "It's not a photo-op and the families agree with him". I absolutely believe his sole reason for doing so is that the number of casualties of this war will rise, we all know that, and he knows that we will start questioning our presence in Afghanistan more and more as we see these heros return home in caskets. I don't believe for one second that he is doing this out of respect for the soldiers, nor the families. I find it insulting to us, the Canadian people, the Harper thinks we are so stupid as to believe this lame excuse for a disgracful decision. It seems to me that Harper is turning into "Bush's B****H!'

I can understand why Harper is doing it, but I do not agree with it.\n\nThese people are dying for Canada, and they should be treated with respect.  This lowering of the flag was only put in place with the Liberal Government (before the liberals it was exactly how it is now, only rememberances happen on rememberance day).\n\nSadly enough, I think it's Harper trying to distance himself from the former liberal government.  trying to show how different and unique the new government it.  \n\nWhat worries me more is him banning the media from seeing the caskets come back over here from over seas.  That worries me, and it's one more thing that Bush did that was terribly unpopular.  \n\nMost political observers believe by doing this, he is just trying to strifle anything which could lead to agruments about Canada's envolvement in Afganitsan.\n\nIt's sad really.

It wouldn't hurt to go to the doctor to find out especially if you're wanting to have a baby soon. Otherwise I would wait and let nature take it's course.

I've noticed that I get a lot more attention from guys when I have long hair. The same happens with other girls.\n\nBut short hair is so much easier to take care of. I can wash it quickly, dry it quickly, brush it quickly, no need to put it up for sports, etc.\n\nDo guys realize this?

I think it's a feminine thing. It makes us look more feminine. But if a guy can't accept you for who you are inside and just likes you b/c you have long hair then screw him. Hair is hair. I have short hair. And it's not easy to take care of. It takes 3 hours to dry...and several tries of getting it into a pony tail...and its not much easier to wash either. I have extremely thick hair so it gives me less headaches b/c its not pulling on my head.


Ben Franklyn “people that give up freedom for security in the end have neither”

youre wrong fusion. the freedom to govern & protect ourselves eliviates the need for federal protection. the fed is 200 years old, is the outcome good? no, we're high on everyones shltlist, our economy is based on variables rather than actual wealth (gold, silver, jewels, ect) http://www.philipdru.com/griffin_stream.html , we're constantly at war, tollerate obvious inhouse attrocities (waco), we're 28th in education globally, agh!!! to much to list. point is, aint workin out. if we all have the means to peotect ourselves the crazies will come out in mass, true. itll be anarchy, but very short lived (so to speak). the more we rely on the fed, proven, the worse off we are. name something the fed does better & more efficient than private enterprise. no way, give me freedom, i'll handle my own security. shlt, this side of town handles its own security now, cops dont come here without military trained swat.

I am going to major in journalism. How do i be a good journalist and how do i get a good job in that field? How do i become a freelance journalist?

*****\nThe following pre-requisites are a must for entering in to the profession of journalism and to become a good journalist:\n\n- Self confidence\n- Flair for writing;\n- Good hold on English and local languages;\n- Good vocabulary;\n- Sharp Vision;\n- Creative ideas;\n- Analytical power;\n- Posession of Dashing and daring nature;\n- Readiness for immediate journey for verifying the facts about the story at the place of happening;\n- Unbiased reporting, etc.\n- Knowledge of Copy Right and other Intellectual Property Rights, etc. laws of the land on the subject (of course this can be learnt during the course on journalism);\n\nPrepare for these things first and take admission in to some reputed institute for journalism.  Read various magazines to judge the tendency of reporters, writers or editors and their style of presentation. Think, if you can present those ideas in some different and effective manner. Prepare yourself for some outstanding and quite a different style of journalism than to a routine type of jounalism in order to attract automatic attention of readers.\n\nSide by side, considering right now as a free lancer journalist, try to collect some ideal stories, prepare scoop, and send to various local newspapers and magazines to make your identity before you actualy launch your own project, so that people should know you beforehand. Of course, if you get a chance of getting some important story, don't hesitate to try your luck in having the same printed in some reputed and popular magazine than through local ones.\n\nThis way you would be quite a successful and outstanding journalist.

I hurt my lower back playing tennis (I'm 24, I think I thought I was 17 again) ... and I want to know if this intense stiffness in a centralized locale should be home-remedied or if I should seek medical assistance.

When i first hurt my lower back, the idiot military doctors thought it was just a strain, but when i actually had a MRI done, it was reveal that i had one herniate disc and another disc that was protuded.  So i would seek medical attention, even if nothing ever comes up it.

A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food enjoy immunity from its ravages. It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.


y is it that i cant have sex when it comes up but other anytime i just what to get it over with?

Don't take testosterone, for god's sake! you might get acne, excess face and body hair, get aggressive.... oh no, wait for your true love, a man you are comfortable with and who turns you on. You can initiate sex whenever you feel like it when you're comfortable with him, and he will love it.\nPlus, if he really turns you on, you will be ready for sex when he initiates it.... you can tell him what you like him to do and you will get aroused.

I would like to disown my father. I am 19 years old. You may think I have no legal ties to him, but I do when it comes to student loans and such.

Your question is under the category "Law and Ethics" so legally you can disown your parent, you just have to convince the court that you can live without your parents and you agree that you will never claim any benefit from your parent. The court must be also convinced that you are taking this decision reasonably and knowing all the future consequences.\n\nNow comes the ethical part, your parents are someone who gave you birth and they will continue to love you even if you are separated from them. They may appear harsh to you but your step will be ethically wrong. You are just 19 years of age, although you are an adult but still you are immature to take such extreme decision. I would advice you to reconsider your decision and try to make things work.


I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and i've decided to go back to Ireland for my Career. ( we are both Irish) but he says he's not ready to go home yet. we both love each other very much and i do believe we will end up together. Am i right? or is what i'm doing a stupid thing to do?

I'm in the middle. You do have to think about your future and your goals. But then he is your love. If you say that you know your gonna end up with each other, then don't worry, things will work out at the end for both of you. Plus, if  you say he loves you then he'll want you to be happy no matter what decision you choose.


For that matter, what about beans in general?  Other than the obvious "gas" problem associated with them..I love them, but I am trying to watch my weight..


"The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things.  Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings."  The Walrus as in the Beatles?  Or was he on drugs?

The Beatles? No, Carroll wrote that book waaaaay before the Beatles. I haven't read that book, but I think Mr. Carroll did some of the old hashish in his day. Supposedly that is what caused Alice's hallucinatory dreams. I guess I should get around to reading it someday. But don't take my word for it, in case I'm wrong I'd hate to slander him, and after all he is not here to defend himself.\n\nJade's explanation is interesting, and now that I think of it, I vaguely remember being disturbed by that scene in the Disney version. The walrus is creepy.

I'm a nonsmoker and nicotine breath bothers me. If I want to kiss a girl who smokes and I don't want to be so crude as to tell her to brush her teeth or use breath spray... well, I just want to know if there are subtler alternatives. You know, I generally date nonsmokers but I am currently interested in someone who's a moderate smoker. I could just talk to her about it, but in case a similar situation comes up in the future, I'd like an answer.


I am a Pakistani and believe, as most of my fellow countrymen do, that we are a grossly misunderstood country. The less then 1% fundamentals give us a bad name. Your response to this question would help me in forming an understanding of the genral perception of Pakistan and work towards improving it in whatever small way that I can.

Here is my opinion...From what I have seen, Pakistan has been (as a country) cooperative in dealing with violence and terrorism (the War on Terror, if you will...) But as previously stated, there are violent people in ALL societies. To believe that World Peace will ever happen, is a fantasy. I am not being negative, it is just not a possibility in this world. Everyone should look at people as individuals instead of lumping them together with the other people that live in their city, state, country, etc. I know I don't want to be judged based on the things my neighbors do! :)


wood nun chucks with vinyl string that wears out over time.  Needs to be relaced but I have no idea how to work the knot.

If you can't figure it out by copying the way it is currently designed then perhaps...fit the string(your choice)in,then securely tie the knot.Cut off the excess string then burn the edge to smoothen the knot out...try to hide the knot within the nunchuku.You may not want to swing that thing around other people just in case...

Somebody told me that it does not have compressor, then how does it works? Also i heard it employs natural gas or solar heating to work.Please provide flow chart or line diagram. Thanx

It was hard to obtain even this information (ref. 1) on the web. Apparently lithium absorption technology is quite similar to that using ammonia which has several useful web descriptions (e.g., ref. 2). Both types use a heat source to operate, and have a complicated means of condensing and circulating refrigerant. Following is an earlier answer I gave to a question on absorption refrigerators which deals with the ammonia type:\nThere are two types of these refrigerators.  One operates in a "batch" like cycle having a generation phase and a refrigeration phase, with a check valve to ensure unidirectional flow.  The other system operates in a continuous cycle, has no moving parts and still achieves unidirectional flow in an intriguing way. \nBoth types use heat to drive the ammonia gas out of its water solution at one point in the loop, pass the gas through a condenser and an evaporator, and redissolve it at another point.\nIn the two-phase system the generation phase drives the ammonia out of solution, and the ammonia cools, condenses and flows through the check valve into a receiver.  The refrigeration phase removes the heat which reduces system pressure, allowing the liquid ammonia to evaporate, cool the refrigerator, and be reabsorbed by the water.\nThe continuous cycle performs the same operations concurrently in a similar loop without a check valve and with constant pressure throughout the loop.  What enables the refrigerant to circulate is the addition of hydrogen gas into the ammonia gas in the evaporator and the gaseous space of the absorber which follows the evaporator.  In the words of ref. 2, each of the two gases in the evaporator, according to Dalton's law, "behaves as if it occupies the space alone. [...] Total pressure in the system is the sum of the vapor pressure of the ammonia plus the hydrogen pressure.  When the pressure of the ammonia vapor is below the pressure corresponding to the vapor pressure for ammonia alone, the ammonia continues to evaporate. It tries to reach a vapor pressure corresponding to the temperature in the absorber."\nNote that the flow of the ammonia keeps the hydrogen in the evaporator and absorber and out of the condenser.  What the quote above means is that flow occurs because both the condensation and the subsequent evaporation of the ammonia occur at nearly the same temperature and at just the same total pressure.  How is this possible?  Because the ammonia pressure is 100% of the pressure in the condenser but a smaller percentage of that same pressure when in the evaporator due to the added hydrogen.  This creates a continuous movement of the ammonia around the loop!  The diagram in the ref. 2 page clarifies this and provides many practical details omitted from this description.\nEDIT: Found another page with good comparison between ammonia and lithium bromide systems with diagrams, ref. 3.


When voter turn out is arounnd 50-60% in most western countries, why do people complain about the govnerment they have, when they did not bother to vote??\n\nWhen it is legal to go on a demonstration, why do people sit at home moaning how unhappy they are, when they could take to the streets and ACTUALLY change something???\n\nDo you live in a democracy and take it for granted? What about the revolutions in Serbia, Ukraine and Lebanon...Tianiamen square.. the tolpudle martyas... and the suffergette movement.. Are you letting down those that have fought for our freedom, if we are apathetic??\n\n\nDo those that don't vote deserve to live in a democracy??\n\nWould they regret not voting if they had to live in country sudh as Syria or Burma??

Here! Here! I agree 1 thousand percent! It sooo infuriates me, every election year, when I hear all these people go on about what's wrong with our country, and don't bother to vote!\n\nIt seems sometimes like the people who gripe the loudest and the most constant are the least likely to vote. Or do anything else.\nWhen challenged, I've heard "Oh, our votes don't really matter anyway." Well I think we found out after the 2000 election that every vote counted does matter. I've had people tell me they don't know how to vote, how to register, that they heard you might get called for jury duty someday so they won't register---every lame excuse you can think of. And yet they bitch the loudest. If you can't tell, I'm all for active participation. And we need a lot more people to get that way in this country. The middle class is disappearing, the country isn't going the way most Americans want it to--but if we don't get off our butts and make ourselves heard, then in the end it will all be our own faults. Plenty of special groups know how to get their points across --the ASPCA, NAACP, ACLU, NRA et. al.--now how about the Pissed Off Mainstream Americans. (POMA) I think I just invented a new lobby.


I have this girl that means a lot to me but we are not together anymore and we are still trying to make things work.\nBut the problem is that Due to Hurricane Katrina I'm in one place and shes in another, were are in two different states as a matter fact.\nAnd now that I'm about to move back to Louisiana but in a different city shes complaining and saying that if i don't come and stay with her that shes going to do something to her self and that shes going to be very hurt even though i told her that i will be able to see her more than i am now due to fact that we will be at least a hour away from each other.\nAll she keep saying is that I'm all that matters to her ad she that she will do anything for me.\nNow if i didn't care about this girl it wouldn't be a problem but since i care for her i don't want to see her get hurt no matter if were together or not.\nSo what do you think i should do?

She's trying to manipulate you.  Don't fall for it.  I don't know when people will learn that manipulation in a relationship is never a good idea.  \n\nYou need to explain to her your reasons for living elsewhere.  If she's in such a desperate bid to get you to come live with her, eventually you will feel trapped and resentful of her.  \n\nTell her that although you love/care about her, and don't want anything to happen to her, at this time it just isn't feasible for you to move back to the same town.  Explain that you are willing to see her whenever you can and that no matter what distance you are from her, she is still important to you.  \n\nYou must also let her know that you are doing whats best for you and if she cares for you like she claims, she will not hurt herself.


Im looking at getting a 1GB SD Card. \nShopping around I see a lot in the 30-99 range. \nThe cheaper are the slower write speeds and the higher the speed the more they cost. \nI will be using with a 4MB digital camera. \nIm just concerned with storage not the speed of the writing. So if I choose a 10x write speed...versus one with 50x write speed...that means it will take a few seconds longer for the 10x to write than the 50x?\nBecause if I can pay a little less for a longer wait time for hte camera to "write" the picture Ill go for it.\n\nThanks for the help in advance.

For many, even some of the higher end digital cameras, card write speed does not mater. If your camera does not recognize the higher write speeds then you are just wasting your money buying memory with higher write speeds. Its just like using a 16 speed CD in a single speed CD burner. It is still just a single speed burner. If you or just concerned with storage then it doesn't matter anyway. But a good brand is good advise anyway you go.


I am looking for a great go-to phrase that will work in most any situation.

I'm sorry, but if I was cussed in French, I would probably laugh.  I have nothing against the French, but their language is a bit to eloquent to effectively cuss someone.  That and the fact that the only French curse word is merde (sp?) which means sh*t.


It's a 'cross-mountain' race in mid-September.  I'm a 33 year-old male in halfway decent shape, with months to prepare.  What's the best way to go?

I race mtn bike endurance events year round.  Sometimes I feel like I'm constantly 'in training'.  I've found what works best for me is to find some hills and climb, climb and then climb some more.  I'd also recommend getting a cheap road bike if you don't have one.  Putting lots of miles on a road bike will do a few things.  It will get you used to being in the saddle for long periods of time.  It will get you used to keeping a high cadence and get the legs used to spinning.  It will also get the lungs ready for the burn you feel in a race.  \n\nI also picked up the Mountain Biker's Bible.  It helped me lower my lap times by 10 minutes last year.  I think Amazon has it for like $15 and it's so worth it.  It has a list of good/bad foods, how to keep a training schedule, what to do b/4 and during the race and a whole lot more.  \n\nAlso check out forums.mtbr.com for some great info.  Check out the training forum and the endurance racing forum.  Both great areas to get some great info.\n\nGood luck at the race and welcome to the world of endurance mtn bike racing.  After this race, I bet you're hooked and you'll want to do more and more of them.  They are great fun and the biking community is a great group of people.

I'm a young college student, and have found that sitting down and working on one thing for more than about 15 minutes is very difficult, and I often end up check email or messing with itunes or something like that.  I'm not sure I want to go on one of the bigger drugs like riddalin, and I'm owndering if anyone knows any other good substitues.  I've heard good thngs a about "Focus Factor", does anyone else have any suggestions?

Try meditation and visualisation techniques. Yoga and Tai Chi are also great for increasing focus and concentration. If those aren't active enough for you, some of the other martial arts also work such as Akido (fantastic for concentration if you can find one in your area). If that doesn't do it, then I would recommend Tai Kwon Do. Any one of these arts will be able to increase concentration, attention and focus.


I know he still loves me and he knows I still love him but I think both of our prides are keepng us apart. When we do speak you just hear it that we need each other but we are trying our utmost best to act all strong without each other. At times when I am feeling down I want to call him but I stop myself because I do not want to feel and seem weak as if I cannot move on with my life.

if you can forgive them and they can see they made a mistake than don't let love slip away. no one will think you are weak because you love someone so much that you can forgive them. God does it everyday to the worst of sinners,and we don't think of him as weak.

Ok really, no commerical hypes and products... can someone who personally has a "six pack" tell me how do you get muscular abs?  what's a good formula to follow?

You have to both reduce fat and build muscles. You can do crunches and other abdominal exercizes from now till the end of eternity and still not have a six-pack unless all the fat from your mid-section is gone. \n\nTo get a six-pack, do several types of abdominal exercizes daily: most gyms have several machines which isolate and work a specific set of muscles. \n\nTo make sure your tight abs show, reduce your body fat through diet and exercize: preferably a diet rich in proteins and complex carbohydrates but low in fats and simple carbohydrates, and at least 30 minutes of cardio workout 6 days a week, plus overall weight training to tone the rest of your body, at least 3 times a week.


My grandmother has been living with us for about a year now and when we moved, she came with us tho she has a husband in our home town.  He was living with us too until we had to move and he really didn't want her to be around. She's only in her early 60s and she's the biggest whiner i've ever met.  She complains all the time about everything, and tattles on stupid stuff about me and my brother and never has anything nice to say about anything we bring home to eat.  She also has her own apartment (complete with kitchen and own bathroom IN the house)  I just wonder when she became such a princess.  Anyhow, my mother (her daughter) finally told her tonight to knock it off or go home.  She got really upset but she's driving us all crazy.  I was talking to my dad later tonight as well and he told me this : she's both too old and too young to be doing this.  She acts like she's a victim tho she gets everything she wants.  What would you do if you were in this situation?

She is entirely too young to be doing this.  Is she sickly?  My mom is going to be 60 this fall and she works 2 jobs and is a totally vital healthy woman.  I just turned 40 and we both work at the same Mental Retardation Facility as RNs.  I have the utmost respect for her skills as an RN and she is as sharp as a tack.\n\nPerhaps she needs to get a boot in the bottom to get her to see that she is not living, but merely existing.  \n\nIf she complains about the food, say "You have a kitchen in your apartment, go find something to eat if this doesn't suit you.  Otherwise, please be quiet about it."

Can you imagine?) \n\n\n\nThe catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. \n\n(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) \n\n  \n\nSome lions mate over 50 times a day. \n\n(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity) \n\n\n\nButterflies taste with their feet. \n\n(Something I always wanted to know.) \n\n\nThe strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. \n\n(Hmmmmmm......) \n\n\nRight-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. \n\n(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) \n\n\n\nElephants are the only animals that cannot jump.\n\n(okay, so that would be a good thing) \n\n\n\nA cat's urine glows under a black light. \n\n(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) \n\n\n\nAn ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. \n\n  (I know some people like that.) \n\n\n \nStarfish have no brains. \n\n(I know some people like that too.) \n\n  \n\nPolar bears are left-handed. \n\n(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer) \n\n\n\nHumans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. \n\n(What about that pig??)

=)) I already knew those and there was a continuity to this :Did u know that : People can't lick their elbows? (Well the tongue's the strongest muscle not the longest!)\nand that 75% of the people who read this statement have tried to lick their elbows ( and I actually fell 4 that 1! )

Is there any software which store the image of cd on the hard disk so that we don't need cd for running that particular game or software....actually i m playing a game but everytime it require the cd ; pls tell me tool which solve this problem.

there are quite a few, however, some of the newer games don't allow you to use that kind of software mainly because it can also be used to set up pirate copies.\n\nA very popular application is "Alcohol 120%" (you can make images of cd's and also load them), but try to see if the game you are trying to play doesn't have some emulation protection so you don't blow your money away for nothing. That would be my recomandation.\n\nYou can also use Daemon Tools, but you can't make image files with it. Try also CloneCD... \nEven Nero has some sort of mechanism for a virtual drive and images, but I don't remember if it required the image file to be created with Nero and have a specific format or not... and since it comes bundled with a few CD/DVD writers it may be a good choice.
