i used to be a dental assistant.  now i am in dental school studying to be a dentist.  it is a fantastic field to work in, but you really have to love it.  it is detail oriented, hard on your back and hands, your workspace is very small (the human mouth); this is a medical field which means you will deal with blood; and it may require you to have your own practice so business skills come into play; you will be in close contact with patients; you need great communication skills, manual dexterity...\n\nbest advice i can give you is to go visit a local dentist who will let you shadow them for a day or two, so you can see exactly what kind of working environment you can expect, how the dental office works (basically), and so on.....\n\ngood luck

largest oil reserve in the world ? Or is it just an Excuse to make a nuclear Wep.What do U think ?

Iran wants to become the superpower of the middle east nations. If you want to know what is up with them there is a magazine that you can get that will really wow you on what our country and other countries are up to. It is better than the t.v. media and our government anouncments 'cause there is no spin to it and it really knocks your sock off on what you arn't being told. If you are interested write to 'The Trumpet magazine, p.o. box 3700, Edmond, Oklahoma, 73083'. And the neat thing is it doesn't cost anything, I have been getting it for 7 years now and all they want you to do is renew once a year and they don't ask you for anything else. Try it, the things in it will leave your mouth open.


I know it's hard to get into Harvard, Yale, etc (those are my dream schools). But, I was wondering if there were specific 'better' clubs to join that will look good to them on a college transcript? That'd be wonderful if you could name/list a few. :]

Student government positions tend to be a little more impressive than chess club, athletics, etc.  Basically though, any extra-curricular activity that you are involved with that shows initiative, leadership, creativity will score you huge bonus points.  Spearhead some community service project.  Admissions boards eat b.s. like that up!


bacteremia caused by E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aereus

In short, bacteremic septic shock can be caused by a variety of bacterial cell components.  For gram negative bacteria, endotoxins, formyl peptides, and exotoxins are among components of the cell that can elicit such a response.  In gram positives, enterotoxins, peptidoglycans, and most especially superantigens (SPEs) will act in the same manner.  These cell components super-activate our cell-mediated immune system cascade, causing mass release of cytokines.  Cytokines are inflammatory mediators, and are ultimately responsible for the fever and septic shock effects seen.


Well, I've been trying to find a girlfriend for many years... but one problem I have is that all my dates, they all want to have sex within the first 3 or 4 dates (and some in the very first date), and that freaks me out. Call me a Christian or just a traditionalist, or a conservative, or whatever you want, but, I don't get this women. If they want to have sex with me after just a couple of dates, then they probably had sex with every single guy they dated (which could be many... yuck). So I'm wondering, do women really like sex (without being married) or do they just want it to make guys happy (because they know us guys are very "weak" when it comes to temptation) and avoid being rejected by the guy? - by the way, I wish "normal" women to reply to this question, I'm aware there're some really crazy girls out there. I always thought that a woman who waits for marriage (or at the very least engagement) has a lot of self respect, and hence, it makes me give her "extra" respect/trust.

i admire the last statement of your question - the self respect piece - women don't understand the fact that they're self respect is compromised when they have pre-marital sex - besides, it's unlawful for those reason and for reasons of maintaining a monogamous relationship.

I was only 3 when A New Hope came out and although I saw all of the originals in theatres, I just thought it would be cool to see the original versions again (those that have not been later tampered with in Lucas' quest for perfection). Thank you.

the original versions were sold as a widescreen VHS box set in 1992 or so, and as individual tapes prior to the 1997 special edition fiasco.\nI will sell you mine for $50,000.

I've met a very nice girl and I like a lot. I have told her nothing, but she has understood... But she does not live here and also virtually has a husband. I don't want to try anything (I see she appreciates my doing this). She is leaving on Sunday and today I saw her twice looking for me. I want to call her tomorrow, maybe invite her for something innocent (she loves ice-cream). I( don't want to try or say anything, but just want her to leave the country with a smile. How would any of the present ladies react to this? Can I add we took a long country walk on Monday and were alone for over six hours.

you said that you like her, right? Thats enough for you to call her.


I recently bought a new laptop from ebay but the owner was i guess addicted to porn as a result i have many spywares and trojans and all those nice stuff that make popups be produced on my computer i personally dont want people thinking i watch it and i dont want to have to pay to get it cleaned out does anyone know of a free spyware remover or a malware remover that works and is free? please tell me the link i would appreciate a lot

Like everyone else said, Spybod Search & Destroy  together with Lavasoft's Ad-aware.  Be careful when trying to find these two programs, there are alot of "look-alikes" out there that will further fill your laptop with useless crap.  As for "wiping" your laptop completely, only do it if you have the restore disks for that SPECIFIC MODEL OF LAPTOP.  Laptops are not as easy to "wipe" as desktops and if you do it without having the correct disks (which you can get from the manufacturer, call them, they'll send it) you'll find yourself knee-deep in driver-hell!! And you'll want to use your new laptop as a high-tech frisbee. . . and i mean it.

I have noticed now for years that most all black people in America have small ears.  It's completely puzzling to me as to why?  White people have small to large ears, no pattern at all, but black people?  Always small?  Why?

How many American miles are in the metric system's 1 kilogram?

I assume you mean kilometer?\n\n1 kilogram  == 2.2046 pounds\n\n1 kilometer == 3280.84 ft \n1 kilometer == 2/3 of a metric mile\n1 kimometer == .625 (5280 feet statute mile)\n\n\nSome online conversion sites.


If you are numbering your sources, where does the superscripted number go ... does it go when you first begin your citation or at the end?  And are they numbered based on the order in which they appear without regard to alphabetical order?

You number them in the order they appear in the paper. The # goes at the END of the sentence in a subscript. Then at the bottom of the page you place the # and the entire citation (if you use it more than once you just put the first part of the citation and the page # for each additional use of the same source). Then, in your Bibliography, you list sources in alphabetical order and at the END of each citation you place in subscript the #s that it corresponds to throughout the paper.


The original directions said something about boiling water,then scrubbing,then boiling oil,then scrubbing.....

it's real easy.  You wash it in hot soap and mild water.  Rinse.  Put on medium heat.  Rub vegtable oil on the wok with a clean paper towel.  Then wipe with a clean paper town.  Heat wok wfor a few minutes, then cool.  Don't wash your wok afterwards, just rinse and clean with plastic pads, then reseason.  w00t!

I am taking this girl to prom i i have known for about 5 years. We sometimes fight but not anymore than normal. We are going to prom together. We hooked up one time and then we quit talking and that was it. Now since she didnt have a prom date and all my friends told me to go with her i thought it would be fun for my last prom. Now i am nervous. We are haning out today to go get a tie that matchs her dress. What can i ask her to do today to make me less nervous. And what can i say to her that maybe she will understand thanks.

You can ask her to tell you th craziest thing thing that shes ever done.

wanted to know the basic difference between their operations

Normally a database admin is going to do just that, administer a database. That may be Oracle, SQL Server or the like. They may design databases, tune queries, perform backup and recovery operations, and help spec things out. A storage admin is going to deal more with actual drive setups. Raid mirrored arrays, making sure drive space is available for the network, space for email on exchange and the like. A database administrator shouldnt have to worry about drive space and a storage admin shouldnt be concerned with the technical aspects of what database is used. The two roles may crossover in small organizations, but as you have them listed, they are two very different roles.


Let {x_n} be a sequence in a metric space .Prove {x_n} converges iff every proper subsequence of {x_n} converges

A => B\nBy reductio ad absurdum: suppose there exists a proper subsequence {x_k(m)} diverging. This means that, for any given point X of the metric space and for any given distance M, there exists m such that d(X, x_k(m)} > M.\nDefine n=k(m) and you have that the main sequence would also diverge.\n\nB=>A\nAgain by reductio ad absurdum: suppose the main sequence {x_n} diverges. This means that for any X and for any M, there is n such that d(X, x_n} > M.\nNow take 2M, then 3M, 4M, etc. You have built a function n=k(m) corresponding to a diverging subsequence {x_k(m)}.

I'd like to believe we could become one big global community. Sadly, given the state of things in the world today, I don't believe that's possible. I may not agree with another persons' beliefs, but that doesn't make me hate, or even dislike, them. We aren't born to hate. Hate has to be taught. Prejudice is taught.

My son is 10 and has autism (not severe).

Here are some books that might help:\nAutism Spectrum Disorders: The Complete Guide by \nChantal Sicile-Kira, Temple Grandin\n\nAlso, a look at applied behavioural analysis, one of the most commonly used and reliable treatments is seen in the book\n\nApplied Behaviour Analysis and Autism: Building a Future Together ~ by Mickey Keenan (Editor), et al\n \nthere are many good Yahoo groups for people with your questions:\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=autism&submit=Search\n\nYes, your child can have a normal adult life, with a whole lot of support from his family and friends.  The specifics of a driver's license depends entirely on his individual ability.  My non-autistic friend didn't get one until she was 30 years old, out of fear.  My autistic brother got one when he was 21, which is how long it took him to learn the skills he needed.

You will progressively get darker and darker as your skin is damaged more and more by sunburn. Use sunscreen - the sun will make you wrinkled as you grow older and will make your skin like shoe leather eventually if you keep damaging it.

i started growing kinda late like around in the late 14 yrs or early 15 yrs im like 5 feet  7.5 inches right now if im a late bloomer what age would i stop groing height

Males vary but usually continue growing until they're 25. Most men do not notice the difference in height from teen to 25 but it is there, even if it just means your legs or arms have grown. However for some the growth "spurt" is obvious and the height of the teenager can bare little resemblance to the height of the twentysomething...

I'm particulary interested in California and Virginia, 2 locations in which I have personal investment.

Political analysts seem to generally concur that this midterm is going to be especially bad for Republican candidates, although they differ considerably in their estimates of how bad exactly.  Some think that Democrats will only pick up a few especially weak seats (think DeWine, Chafee, and Santorum in the Senate, or Cunningham in the House) but remain relegated to the minority.  Others believe that general anger against the "culture of corruption" will produce a wave effect that may give the Democrats back the House and even (although more unlikely) the Senate.\n\nCalifornia, where I live, is an interesting situation.  First of all, it's huge, so it depends where you're talking about, specifically.  The coastal areas, which are heavily Democratic, are likely to remain so.  The Republican seats inland, with the exception of Cunningham (who was ousted after being charged with bribery), are also fairly safe, however, merely because our disricts are so gerrymandered - I believe that over 90% are considered to heavily favor one party or another.  California's senator up for re-election, is Dianne Feinstein, who is almost sure to win another term.  Governor Schwarzenegger is facing strong competition from two Democrats, Phil Angelides and Steve Westly, and preliminary polling indicates that either of the two, both largely unknown, would be able to defeat him - he lost a lot of goodwill after calling a special election.\n\nVirginia, I will openly admit to not knowing nearly as much about.  However, I do know that their former governer, Democrat Mark Warner (who is now eyeing a Presidential bid) was extremely popular, and helped to raise pro-Democratic sentiment there, leading to a surprisingly large win for their current Democratic governor, Tim Kaine.  All this suggests a growing shift to the left in Virginia, which could manifest itself in Republican losses in the House.  However, I'm not sure that it's enough to sweep out Allen, who is the Republican senator currently up for re-election.  He is facing a fairly strong candidate, but is still not considered to be one of the weakest candidates.  He is considering a presidential bid, though, which may eventually leave his seat open.\n\nI hope this was of some help! I didn't get any information from it, but if you're still interested, you might try looking at the Cook Political Report ( http://www.cookpolitical.com/ ), which is a non-partisan group of analysts.


Why can there be a black history month, jet magazine, the negro college fund?  As well as Black entertainment channell, and ebony magazine AND IT IS NOT CALLED RACIST? BUT if it were reversed it is?

By equality, shouldn't we either NOT allow it or allow "white history month, caucasion college fund, Ivory magazine etc.? WHICH I ALSO DO NOT AGREE WITH

No I never have. Married twice, 2 kids, never had sex. Of course silly. Maybe that is a question for a close friend, or sister. Don't ask that kind of question here. You may get some answers you really shouldn't. Better try someone you know and trust.

I am petite, 5'2, 105 pounds and have about a handful. I have been recently looking into breast implants. I think I would want a full B. C would probably be too big for my body. I think I would look better in clothes etc. But what I want to know is....would men rather a woman be small, but real...or average but fake?

Natural is always the best.  Small but real is just fine.


The socialism question made me wonder about this. Many of you seem to think that greed, which is a sin, is the only way that a government can work. Maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist, but I don't think that's a fact. I mean, it doesn't seem to be working so well here, it is for a few, like 1 percent, but there are 37 million in poverty, according to the U.S. census. and the median earning for the U.S. is only a little more than $40,000 for a household (census). That's a WHOLE LOT of people working a lot for a little (20,000 each for two people working in a household). And anyone that thinks half of the population is just lazy, that's horribly naive. \nIt doesn't sound like it's working too well right now to me?

Excellent question.\n\nGreed weakens the economy.\n\nPeople need to work together, appreciate one another for what they are worth.  That is the right way to get rich.


In 2002, I bought my first brand new car,a Saturn. No problems. Skip ahead about 3 years. I had been through a lot, including losing a job,getting behind on bills, etc. I finally found another job and moved. Anyway, my car's warranty was up and because of my $ difficulty I had no $ saved for repairs and needed a lower car payment. I decided to try to trade. I like Saturn at the time so I went the same kind of car dealer in my new town. BIG MISTAKE! I told them that I needed a lower car payment.  At first, they said there was nothing they could do for me because I had very little $ to put down and I was upside down on my note.I went back at a later date, and this time and they were having a sale.This time,they were able to do something for me.It started out fine, but my car payment was ALOT more and 17.9apr!They encouraged me to take the deal (but they deny it).I know now how dumb I was, but it was unethical of them to offer me such a deal and encourage it fully knowing my $ situation!

Sorry dear, but whether they encouraged you or not, it was you who signed those papers and there is nothing you can do.  You have free will and no one forced your hand.  Yes, they may have been misleading and that is morally wrong, but from a legal standpoint, they did nothing wrong. When you signed the documents you should have been fully informed (by reading the entire documents thouroughly) and if you did not do so, you cannot blame the car dealership.  It sucks that you are stuck with this high interest rate, but you locked yourself into that one.  There is no legal action you can take since they did nothing to force your hand to sign those documents, you did that, not the dealership.  Just because you make a mistake doesnt mean you can blame the company for it.  It looks like you may just have to deal with it or sell the car and buy something cheap (with the cash).  It isn't wise to finance a vehicle when you  are having money problems, anyway.  A vehicle is not a good investment because the value only decreases, it never increases.  Looks like you got yourself in a mess that only you can get yourself out of, not the law.


this is my first attempt. dont be too cruel!\n\nNEVER REALLY LOVED YOU\n\nI thought I loved you baby,\nAnd I believed it was true.\nNow I know its not because,\nI never really loved you.\n\nI heard love is blind,\nNow I know that’s true.\nThe first time you touched me baby,\nI was stuck on you.\n\nI saw you standing close to her,\nYou were looking into her eyes.\nAnd that moment I realized,\nI never really loved you.

You're off to a great start. I've written a few in the past also; before I start writing, I listen to a few songs in the same catagory as the song I'm writing to get scenarios and detail ideas. I also use personal experiences to infuence my songs.

A pending House bill calls for making illegal immigration a felony. That doesn't make sense to me. Now, we deport people.\n\nIf this bill passes, apprehended illegal immigrants will serve time in a penitentiary at taxpayer expense and then be deported. ISN'T this worst than them using welfare taxes...in prison they won't even have to pick a tomate for a early meal!

I think the HR4437 is a radical solution to a more complex problem,if they want to pass that bill, why they don't just go knocking door to door and deport all the people that look Hispanic, there has to be a better way to solve this immigration problem, they are here, they work, they pay for the food they eat, taxes for that food, pay for rent, pay for everything they use or consume, what are they gonna do with all that space they are occupying , what are they gonna do with all the apartments , the food , the production of food, the clothes , the products the immigrants buy, they are already here, they live somewhere, you see them everyday, sending them to prison is just to radical, first you need to secure the border, and then find a solution to the more than 12 millions illegals aliens,


I have real player and I don't know how to down or get songs on it. I know you go to the search tab and type in the song, but most of the time the song is either too short or you can't download it onto real player library.

i dnot know i want to know to so im with u person.(girl or boy)


He loves my feet, he will massage them and suck on my toes. But that isnt his only fetish. Everytime I see him I end up (quite happily) letting him kiss and lick me from head to toe, but his favorite is ....well, you know....my female place. Now I dont prectice promiscuity, I havent even had sex for about 4 years. LOL But when he comes to town we do this to each other, all these other things, and I feel better than I ever had when I was with with someone. The bummer is that he lives a few hundred miles away and has a whole nother life...we just do business from time to time through my online co. But every few months this magic happens when he comes to see me. I alway feel like a million bucks after he has touched me and made me come to life. Of course I am not married and I dont have a steady bf, but I am a Christian. LOL I just cant resist. Am I doing a terrible thing? Should I feel guilty? Because I dont. LOL He makes me laugh, smile, feel good about myself.... is that so wrong?

Absolutely not!  You should feel lucky to have him.  If you want the relationship to grow then you always have that.  I too am a christian (getting baptized this Sunday!) but I believe what you have is far from wrong.  It seems that your feelings for him are deeper than sexual and that is something Christ cherished, LOVE.


or alternative medicine to him. Also he is always sad and is having problems with other kids at school. I want to help him, does anyone can tell me something about it???

Eczema is a general term for rashes on the skin that doctors can not explain.  One persons case can be completly different from the rest.  People try to treat it externally but its an internal problem caused by a chemical or hormonal imbalance in your body which is usually caused by what you are putting in your body.  Once again I will say figure out what foods he is intolerant too most people are intollerant to something and everyone is intollerant to fast food, artifical colors, flavors and preservitives.  They are chemicals dont eat them.  \n\nThe best otc treatment for the rash calendula oil, collodial oatmeal, zinc oxide.  Do not touch the affected area with anything! Harsh soaps, hard water, plants, dogs ect...  YOu can treat the out side and have it a little better or you can treat the inside and make it go away forever.  Acupuncture works great too.


I have a class that is teaching me the fundamentals of computer use and internet basics.  I usually find what I need but that is because I don't require much (from the internet).  I am required to find "the largest PC hard drive available on the Internet" and print the first page to show that I have found it.  Another example of the assignment is "find a dictionary of cliches."  Once found, I print the first page and voila! I'm done.  I have tried seven different search engines and cannot find anything that specifically addresses the largest pc hard drive available ON the internet.  Help!!!

Above answer is wrong. This "1TB disk" consists of two 500GB disks. Either you can use them as RAID 0 (2x500GB = 1TB) or as RAID 1 (mirrored = 500GB, on both disks is exact the same data).\nUntil now i've never seen a PC hard disk larger than 500GB.\nThese are the largest ones\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010150014+1035307886&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=14

i was woundering cause i mesured it and it appeared to have grown .5 of an inch. sorry for the kind of sick question

I think the full process of growth terminates at the age of 25, when it get reversed and falls into decay. So, theoretically, I would say it is possible.

hey, \ni got my MBA in the states a year ago, and then returned to Russia (that's the homeland). I've been applying to companies in the states via monster.com and other jobsearch sites, but what usually happens is that the company likes my resume, education, work experiences and everything else, but they don't really want to get into all the paperworks when hiring someone from another country. I have great education and diversified background with ton's of skills that can be used to benefit an organization, most important i have a desire to do so, all is left to do is to find a company that will stand out and do such a brave action :) Seriously, do you, guys, know of any company that matches my search? As i said i have an MBA (bilingual: russian, english), so I'm looking fo management positions, also interested in event planning, entertainment, hospitality, someting with creativity! I'm not a usual MBA - i'm a creative one :)\nThanks in advance!

1. Apply for positions in companies that DO hire foreigners. First of all these will be financial services (investment banks) and consulting companies. I don't know much about manufacturing companies. \n\n2. Another tip - if they don't want to fly you in just for the interview, maybe they have a subsidiary/branch in Russia and its HR people can interview you for the first round at least (I did a similar trick myself a while ago). Or tell them you'll be in the States and would like to talk to them. If you manage to combine  few interviews in the same geographic area, it might be worth the trip (I assume that getting a visitor's visa won't be a problem).\n\n3. Get a job with McKinsey in Russia. As far as I know after two years you can transfer to any other McKinsey office (after McKinsey everybody will hire you anyway!). Probably the same is true for other consultancies and big investment banks (CSFB et al) operating in Russia.\n\n4. Get a job with a Russian company which expands business to the U.S. (Lukoil, Gazprom, Renaissance Capital etc.)\n\n5. Does your school have a good alumni network? Try to find people from your school already working for companies you're interested in.


She said she broke up with me because people at school were talking shit about her and she also said people were teasing her about being with me, so she dumped me......what kinda fucked up reason is that? Then to top taht off she gets another guy 4 days later to replace me....what do ya'll think bout that?

i think she made up an excuse to break up with you. she had this guy on the backburner and was thinking of hooking up with him while she was with you. but with this excuse she can blame you in stead of saying, "i like this other guy instead so i'm breaking up with you." cool off, and start finding another chick. don't waste you timing thinking about your ex.


Do you think that the US-Israel relationship benefits only the power elites of both countries, or do ordinary Americans gain as well? \nIf so, what? \nIf not, why?

Many reasons why US govt considers important.\n\n1.  Base in Middle East - Israel is the ally that keeps the power of the arabs in check and offers unquestionable support to US for that privilege. Oil is a serious issue, and Middle East is the largest supplier of oil. As long as the Arab states keep fighting each other, the OPEC is weak. Offering permanent solutions to Middle East problem is very harmful for world economy. So we keep stirring the pot once in a while.....to keep our SUVs going!\n\n2.  Finance and Academics : Jews control 40% of the FInancial and Educational Sector in the US. The economy would collapse without their support. FLight of capital and intelligence (brain drain) is a very serious and detrimental phenomenon in the modern world.\n\n3. Jews have nowhere else to go but the handful of Palestinians can be absorbed by the arab world. Should Israel caese to exist, the failure of US govt to support will create a civil war within US!\n\n4. There are more, many more reasons...but these are the primary IMO.


I would like to protect information in my personal folder at work. How can I do that?

You can't actually password protect a single "folder" but you can with a zip file. Just create a new zipped folder and add your personal info and then select "add password" under the file menu when you open the zip file.


Should our Constitution guarantee a right to Privacy? If so, where should the the Supreme court draw the line between private and public interest? If not, why not?

I'm 20 yrs. old ..and i'm virgin. I know its a great thing, but many of my friends think i'm lame.. gosh!! I felt pressured sometimes.. .

Don't give into the pressure... Keep it as long as you can.. Loving someone don't necessary mean having sex with them. If he's not willing to respect you for your decision, then he's not worth loosing your virginity to. If I can do it all over again, I would love to be a Virgin till the right one comes alone. don't get me wrong sex is GREAT, but doing it with someone you care about and cares about you, will words can't describe it.......

If you are able to spreadbet or use CFD's in your country I would recommend either intellitrend250.com as a good prediction package. This turned £2000GBP into £90000GBP in just 3 years. There is also another good system call Goldline that is very similar.\n\nSticking with spreadbetting and CFD's I would recommend MarketMaker from CMC markets which is free when you open an account with them. They also offer a Forex service but again the products available are limited to where you are in the world.\n\nFor actual online standard trading platforms I would recommend PacificTrader which is very comprehensive and an excellent package.\n\nOfcourse if you are looking for a great system to follow then I would recommend Point and Figure charting which is the only form of analysis that gives crystal clear buy and sell signals. Tom Dorsey has written a book on this (ISBN 0471412929) and also has a website that can help.\n\nIf you want some more specific information feel free to contact me directly.


In human terms, were Optimus Prime real how tall would he stand in robot form. Gen 1 US Optimus Prime.

Based of the cartoon, Optimus Prime changed sizes a lot!  There was no hard/fast rule.  They simply drew him as they felt he fit in the scene.  Based on the size of the truck windows/grill front on his chest, Optimus Prime would stand roughly 50ft tall.


He said he's embarrassed to talk to me about it, but says that he still wants me.  He has visited websites to try to help him but what can I do to help get our sex life back?

Try getting some adult movies,mags, clothes. Surprise him one day when he isnt expecting it with some skimpy lingerie. Just keep it spiced up or changing the routine. I \nalways love my wife to surprise me with things like that.


Yep.  What happens, is that your muscles are straining to get breath in you lungs so much that it makes you sore.  Also, asthma is caused by inflammation in the lungs.


Just think about it "jesus has risen....quick go hide your eggs?" i dont get it

I think that some of the people answering this question would benefit greatly from an elementary history lesson. Easter, in it's original form, was very much a Pagan holiday.  You can deny it until you're blue in the face, that doesn't change history.\n\nWhen Christians were forcing people to convert, they took over the Pagan holidays because it was easier to manipulate those holidays than it was to get Pagans to celebrate new ones.  So, they took over our holidays, built their churches on our sacred space and called it a day.  That's history, not opinion.  It's fact, look it up.


How can you claim God invented the wheel. The earliest wheel is 3000 BC (carbon dating) in an area where there were not Jewish people.  How can you have the audacity to give credit to God for something that is an invention of humans. I think you should be ashamed of yourself for lying about history.

I would trust in her judgement and choices, and would show her all honor and reverence for she is my goddess.


and also why were they hunted? and did the fish population increase because there were a lot less whales and what did this do to the ecosystem?

The humpback whale is a whale most famous for its singing. Whales (mostly sperm whales) were hunted for their oil which could be used for light, make up, and other things. Once petrolium (crude oil) was discovered, whaling was no longer necessary. Whaling was then banned because of its effects on the environment. Fish populations were affected, but we also liked to catch those. If we did not stop hunting whales, then many species would now be extinct.

there are quite a few women i know who are hot and don't think so, i also know some girls who are... shall we say not as 'hot' as they claim to be.\n\nso my real question is, do you think you are hot/attractive? why do you think so? what would you consider is your best feature?\n\nalso, serious answers please.

The women who are hot & say they are not, are fishing for compliments. The one's who are not so hot and think there are, they know they are not, they just have a hard shell of self confidence, which is good, they want compliments to. I think im hot, not the hottest but who is? We are all hot in our own way, inside or out.

Everyone at work has been pressuring me & my husband & son to go to their church for the past couple of years. The past month they have pressured us the most. We gave in tonight & went with them. Even though everyone was so nice & welcoming we are not comfortable there. I am white & my husband is black & the church is all white ecept for one other guy. I dread going into work now cause the pressure to go back to their church will be bad now that we went tonight. I have a really hard time of knowing how to stand up for myself. I was in an abusive marriage previously for 13 years & it is so hard for me to defend myself. I just am not comfortable in their church. I grew up in the church I have been attending for years & that is like home to me. My church does not believe in pressuring anybody. I truly need some good advice on this please. My son & husband feel the same way.

I know I am going to get alot of hate mail, but here goes.\nThe Bible teaches in Matthew 24 that the chruch age has ended.  We therefore do not need to go to church to worship God.  We can do it from the comfort of our own house.  When we fellowship, one has to remember that he is fellowshiping first and foremost with God.\nLog onto www.familyradio.com for more info.\nTo answer your question, just let them know that you are exploring your options by looking at other churches now, or you are still thinking about it, or you don't have time any more.  But of course, don't go to any because the church age has ended.

If he had an Argentinian or Brazilian passport, would he be more famous and getting more attention? For someone to break Italian icon Luigi Riva's record in Cagliari, he can't be that all bad. I want some input, please.

He'll do well to remain in smaller clubs where he has a chance to play on a regular basis. Moving to a bigger, world class club will only see him on the bench, similar to Zalayeta at Juve. Suazo is from Honduras and has probably scored the quietest 20 goals in any of the top leagues. He does deserve more attention, and teams like Parma, Palermo, or Sampdoriain Italy , Osasuna, Sevilla, or Mallorca in Spain, Aston Villa, West Ham, or Bolton in England, could really benefit from his scoring.


How long does it take steel to decompose? What is tin made of?How does tin pollute living things?

Steel does not decompose.  It turns into rust by oxidation; that is, it is an irreducible element that joins with oxygen, another irreducible element, into ferric oxide [rust].  How long this takes depends on a lot of things, like the thickness of the steel, the amount of water available for the oxidation, the amount of oxygen available, what kind of environment it is in...\n\nTin is not made of anything, it is an irreducible element in itself.  By itself it is not toxic, or has very little toxicity.  But when combined with other things, the combination can have poisonous effects, damaging various organs such as liver, brain, blood...


they have. it's partly our own fault. quite a bit of these countries we've helped, we put their officials into government and they turned around and went after us. but our presidents have a funny way of helping people out which isn't always advantageous to everyone. maybe we shouldn't get into everyone else's business.


Over the past couple weeks, I've been at the gym lifting weights and I have had these sudden, piercing headaches that are worse than any headache I've ever experienced. It feels like extreme pressure in the back of my head. Pain is very strong for about 2-3mins and then subsides into a low level throb for a couple hours. Not a migraine as light or sound doesn't bother me and the duration of the sharp pain is too short.\n\nI'm 22years old, very active, played sports all my life and lifted weights beginning as a freshman in H.S.....nothing like this ever before.\n\nWent to the emergency room and they did a CT scan, said everything was normal and it was probably "muscle related"...whatever that means.\n\nJust wondering if anyone has ever experienced this before and if it eventually went away.

I can think of a couple possibilities.  First, do you drink enough water during the day?  It's possible that when you are working out you're getting very dehydrated and that could be causing the headaches.\n\nMy other thought is that perhaps you don't maintain correct posture while working out and the strain of working out puts stress on your spine and nerves causing a migraine.  Have you ever been to a chiropracter?

my children live with my ex husband, i left him as i was very ill ( i have bi polar ) that was 6 years ago i built up acess weekends but my ex took advantage of me time and time again a the time i was on imit funds £54 a week i was bearly getting by, i met my new partner a year and a half ago we besided to to closer to his place of work my ex did not like this and stopped all my access that was 9 months ago now i've still sent my children on birthdays christmas i've tried to ring and write them letters but he blocks me everytime my own mother stands by him as my sister is extremely close to my ex. i am unsure what my rights are as i have in the past had a drink problem but have been sober for a year now, i have self harmed but that was a while ago i have just last month attempted an overdose, but i have never ever hurt or exposed my children to any of this, child protection have never been involved and my consultant and mental health nurse are wiling to support me through this.

This is a family court issue. Go see your solicitor (first times free so you can decide on wot to do), the overdose last month may not help your cause but if you can prove you have sorted your drink problem out it will really help. I went through similar last year with my ex girlfriend and my son. You should be able to get legal aid if you arent working or at least a payment towards the costs. \n\njust added: wotever you do, do not make any contact with your ex or kids.. the solicitor will do all that thru the post and be prepared to have your ex use every trick in the book to make you out as a bad mother.\n\nTake no notice of him, be calm and polite at all times and go for it!!\n\nGood Luck

Did you feel any different? Why some talk like theres no life after 30?

Oh, I felt so terrible when I turned twenty - I wasn't a teenager any more, and felt things couldn't get any worse.\nIt was a major loss, I thought, of hope. I hadn't a clue how life operated! How could I? (Imagine asking a baby what they think of a discussion forum that gives you actual options?!) \n\nI thought I was supposed to be starring in the movie of my life by then, and if not, I was probably too ugly and stupid to be allowed to live. At twenty years of age, I was pretty amazed that people didn't throw rotten fruit at me in the street! I grew up thinking that now I was twenty, I had to wear navy nylon clothes, crisp white blouses, horrible shoes, and be a predictable adult. Or else be famous and be allowed to make my own rules - too late for that <g>. \n \nBut thirty was no problem, I liked my life and new career a lot better by then! I'd gained more than I'd lost, had made  good friends whom I still have. I'd outgrown the users and the naggers, and had the confidence to let them go gently, in a friendly way. And I was way too busy to be bullied by dominant people, or wonder or worry what was expected of me. I realised that if you are happy and busy, you don't feel the burning need to conform or go around telling everyone what you expect of them.\n \nThis annoyed my mother so much that she actually told me that I had disappointed her - that she still expected me to marry a glamorous and famous person! \n\n(Oh, if only she had spelt this out to me when I still thought she knew best and wanted the best for me! Pity about her ; )\n\nOne of my neighbours is eighty-two. She has so many interesting things going on, and has outlived anyone who annoyed her - she really enjoys life! I managed to catch her in last week, and asked her what it was like to be eighty-two. She laughed for a full minute and said "Well, when you consider the alternative!" Yes, there is life after thirty! \n\nMy aunt loved music, worked full-time, and took care of her mother all her life, and then went deaf. She just took early retirement and started dating! He made her admit that she couldn't hear well, she bought a hearing aid and they travel a lot to opera weekends. \n\nHey, there's hope for us all! : )

The ABC show "Sons and Daughters" is currently on hiatus facing possible cancellation.  If you haven't seen it, it is easily one of the funniest shows on TV.  If you have seen it, you'll agree with me that it is much too soon for this show to die.  Either way, please help me by signing a petition to save this smart and funny show.\n\nwww.petitiononline.com/sonsndau/petition.html\n\n\nThanks.

I love the show and was so disappointed when it didn't come on again.  I have signed the petition and also written a letter to ABC.  I hope ABC gives it another chance!  I got my information from Dee@deewallacestone.com.


Be told you have bad breath or get caught farting (excuse me 'passing gas')

Bad breath. Definitely. A fart is something you will never live down, and you can't just brush it away or eat a mint to get rid of it. That and you can always find an excuse for the breath. You know, onions on breath, or something.


some kid in my class said boys go to mars to get cooler,and girls go to jupiter to get ... dumber,does that make any sense at all?

Cos they are plain stereotyped dumb. If u can get to those places to live, do u think u will b back here talking like some stupid moron?? No right? So ask them to shut up and study cos they surely need some in their immature brain.

This is regarding the HRD minister Arjun Singh's Decision to implement the Reservations...

that is really a pile of bull shit. we must not allow reservations in the proffessional courses like this which are strictly meant for the talented people but not for the unskilled people with reservations.


You usually get a warrant for failure to appear. If you have a good reason for not showing up(like you were in the hospital or your child was in the hospital) they will sometimes revoke the warrant and give you another court date. If you just forget.....then you probably have a warrant for your arrest.


this is a position paper, i will need 3 reasons to either support, or reject this issue.

The cloning of animals, while promising, has many problems that would need to be adressed before the cloning process would be more effective than simply breeding the animals. A surprisingly low success rate of creating clones, along with the possibility of genetic defects being passed on and the expensive equipment required to perform these processes are large deterrents to cloning in today's world.\n   \n   The famous sheep, Dolly, was one out of numerous attempts to clone a single sheep.  Creating multiple clones would require either an enormous amount of equipment or an improvement on current methods to prevent only a small population of clones successfully being created.  In addition, any flaws in methods used could result in genetic defects.\n\n   Any unseen genetic defects in an animal to be cloned could ruin a large number (if not all) attempts to clone the animal.  Any animal to be cloned could possibly need extensive testing before the cloning process begins; again, slowing down the idea of mass-producing foods or medicines without the use of more equipment to attempt to create more clones.\n\n   Cloning equipment, in order to do its duty, needs to be precise.  Such equipment will not come cheaply.  While in the future, prices of this equipment may drop due to the aging of the technology or the possibility of mass production in the future, it is still expensive, as no kinds of grants or rebates by any government organization exist(as far as I know).\n   \n   If cloning equipment and techniques were improved upon, the cloning of animals would be very helpful to society.  As these techniques are now, however, it is not much more beneficial to clone animals as it is to simply breed them; a much more cost-effective solution for the present.

the problem is that people don't understand the difference between profit and profit margins.  When the cost of Oil (a tradeable commodity) doubles, oil companies will pay twice as much for oil and their cut becomes bigger (twice as big in fact)


His lyrics are well thought, his beats are okay, why do so many people disliek will smith as a rapper? I know he dosnt swear in his rhyems, but i mean dosnt that show he is even better if he can express a feeling without dropping an f-word?

because in order to become a big name rap star you must romantacize thug life. will smith doesn't do that, but since he is already a big name, the only thing people can do is say that he sucks. i think a lot of people have forgottten that the first thing that he did to get famous in the first place is rap. if you can't respect a guy that has stayed true to his roots, you're an @sshole. i'm not saying that i like his music either because i don't. i'm just saying that i can respect his music

WHy is it that in my school district 7-12 grades when school sports are in session some are considered gay and others arent... for example following the stereotype would mean volleyballm tennis soccer= gay      football, hockey, baseball= straight

my school has the same thing. you see they gay sports are the ones that guys ususally dont pplay a lot, so they call it gay. and the straight ones are the ones that most people watch on TV and the ones that most people play... ♥

I d make seminal fluid anylisies and i want to know what OTA syndrome

James L. Schaller, MD, MAR, PA, DABPN, DABFM\n\nClinical and Research Psychiatry and Medicine\nAdult Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Services\nSubspecialty Child & Adolescent Psychiatry\nHormonal & Nutraceutical Consultation\nAnti-Aging & Obesity Consultation\n\nwww.personalconsult.com\nOchratoxins and Ochratoxicosis\nBy Jack Dwayne Thrasher, Ph.D.\ntoxicology@drthrasher.org\n\nIntroduction\n\nOchratoxins are metabolites of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium species. The most commonly implicated species are A. ochraceus and ostianus, P. viridicatum, griseofulvum and possibly solitum.1 Recent evidence shows that these mycotoxins are present in a variety of foods (cereals, pork, poultry, coffee, beer, wine, grape juice and milk. Analyses of these food products demonstrated that ochratoxins are also produced by P. vercucosum and A. niger and carbonarius.2,3\n\nThere are three generally recognized ochratoxins, designated A, B and C. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is chlorinated and is the most toxic, followed by OTB and OTC. Chemically they are described as 3,4-dihydro-methylisocoumarin derivative linked with an amide bond to the amino group of L-b-phenylalanine (Fig. 1).4\n\nFigure 1. Chemical Structure of Ochratoxin A (OTA); Adapted from Hussein et al, 2001, ref. 4\n\nThe role and risk assessment of OTA in animal and human disease has been reviewed. The tolerable dosage in humans was estimated at 0.2 to 4.2 ng/kg body weight based upon NTP carcinogenicity study in rats. OTA is mutagenic, immunosuppressive and teratogenic in several species of animals. Its target organs are the kidneys (nephropathy) and the developing nervous system.5,6 Following intravenous administration OTA is eliminated with a half-life from body in Vervet monkeys in 19-21 days.7 There is no reason to suspect that the elimination half-life would be significantly different in humans. OTA has been detected in human blood and milk. Other than nephropathy and urinary tumors, the evidence for human toxicology is scant. The toxicology of OTA will be briefly reviewed.\n\nCarcinogenesis\n\nThere is inadequate evidence that OTA is carcinogenic in humans. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals. Overall OTA is possibly carcinogenic to humans and is a Group 2B carcinogen.\n\nResearch Animals: Oral administration of OTA produced tubular cell carcinomas of the kidneys in male and female rats, and fibroadenomas of the mammary gland in the females.1\n\nAdministration of OTA in the diet of ddy mice produced tumors of kidneys: solid renal tumors and cystic adenomas. Also, hepatic-tumors and hyperplastic liver nodules were found and unspecified lung tumors. In addition, solid renal-cell tumors occurred in ddd mice fed OTA in their diet.1\n\nMale and Female Fischer rats given oral doses of OTA had does related increased in kidney tumors: renal-cell adenomas, and renal-cell adeno-carcinomas. Metastasis of the renal cell tumors occurred in 17 males and one female.1\n\nHumans: Balkan endemic neuropathy (BEN) associated with OTA occurs in Europe (Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey, Egypt, and Yugoslovia) where OTA is relatively high in the diet. Individuals with BEN were surveyed for the presence of urinary tract tumors. The incidence of tumors in the urinary system was elevated in both men and women. Furthermore, the observations suggested that individuals with urinary tract tumors had elevated levels of OTA in the blood and urine. Approximately one-third of patients dying from BEN have papillomas and/or carcinomas of the renal pelvis, ureter or bladder.1,8 -12\n\nRecently, it has been suggested that OTA can cause testicular cancer in humans.13 The hypothesis that consumption of foods contaminated with OTA causes testicular cancer was tested. The incidence of rates of testicular cancer in 20 countries were significantly correlated with the per-capita consumption of coffee and pigmeat. Scwhartz concluded: "Thus, OTA is a biologically plausible cause of testicular cancer. Future epide


we are doing a debate in my research class and we have the topic same sex marriages. i need good questions to debate about.

If all the loving and nurturing and longevity of a marriage is what we are worried about, how would the fact that those who love and nurture each other are the same sex make their union different in the eyes of the State?


my friends and relatives told that i am fat. to me also i am looking slightly fat. my arms and thigs are not tight. they are in some loose conditions, and my cheast is also not tight what can i do. now i am reducing my food in order to reduce the fat in my body

your size isn't the problem. 60kg is a fine weight for a person who is 5 ft 11, but your muscles are out of shape. just, do some exercise and eat properly. not less. properly.


My boss told a discusting story that made me uncompfortable. He said he was in Ca. and there was a porno film convention and when 2 hot girls asked if he was in the biz he said yes and that he was very new to the biz and then they proceeded to "help" him get aquanted with his new career and when they asked what his name was he told them it was Malcolm, and it is and then they asked him if he had done any recent filming and he said yes, he just shot a movie "MalCum in The Middle." He said the 2 girls were so impressed with his quick wit that they helped him until four in the morning. I am not a prude nor was I offended as a girl. I was however offended that after mentally preparing all night and all morning for this meeting,and preparing for it until all hours of the night and stressing over it, I had that thrown in my face first thing in the morning. Ohters could tell that I was uncompfortable also.

Yes, you should most certainly report your a** hole boss. He's a creep, and that kind of talk should never be forced into the workforce.


Like you wake up and there's nobody around

Happens to me all the time and I like it.


Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.

i don't know where you'd get the previews, but a friend of mine had her wedding video made, starting with her getting ready, arriving at the church, the marriage, the guests and half an hour of the reception, and it was all edited together with an andrea bocelli song playing over it. there was no other sound on the video, it was in black and white and my god it was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. \n\nat the end of the movie there was a load of "outtakes" using the proper sound and colour, of the funniest parts of the day- the groomsmen joking around in the morning, and the speeches and little best wishes comments from the guests. better than any traditional wedding video i've ever seen.

I heard there was a way to split the winddows 98 cd up into somewhere around 90 floppy disks, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to do that, as I have recently acquired an old lap top running 3.1, and is upgradeable to 98... only problem is... no cd drive and no USB for external hard drive. Also no network card to download anything. A little help please!\n\nAlso no stupid comments like "why would you want to do that" or "it would take forever". All answers that aren't actually attempts will be deleted. Thanks

Without knowing what all you specifications are my recommendation would be to just upgrade to Windows 95. I know it's not the best operating system, but if you laptop just meets the minimum requirements for windows 98 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=182751 The performance hit would be such that the computer would be unusable. Plus Windows 95 was sold on floppy disc so you can easily get it for $20 or less (just make sure it's the upgrade version).\n\nHowever, if you do want to proceed with 98, I know that they did have a certificate in the box when you bought 98 that you could mail in for a floppy copy (which was actually on like 38 diskette or something like that). So they may be floating around somewhere in cyber space that you could buy a copy. \n\nBut as for copying a CD version to a diskettes, apparently it is possible. I found this on another forum. I haven't tried it but it seems like his method would work:\n\n"Yes, it's possible; FORMAT/S a diskette and copy all of the non-CAB files (like SETUP.EXE) to that one, then copy one CAB per floppy. You'll need one of the many utilities floating about the net that writes the Microsoft 2MB CAB format (there are several at www.winfiles.com), about fifty diskettes, and a lot of patience. However, it seems to me is that all you need to do is get access to the CD-ROM. Try the 'stock' Windows 98 boot disk; it has a bunch of CD-ROM drivers on it. You could try the "CD-ROM GOD" disk from www.gankish.net/rumblesoft/cdromgod.htm, which has gotten me out of a tight spot or two. Or you could download and install the correct drivers for your CD-ROM; they are almost certainly available on the drive manufacturer's web site. "


all the time i get pop-ups from taskbar,like: "critical system alert:spyware detected", or :"warning spayware intrusion detected", "scan complited,spyware infection detected". and my themes are set to "modified theme".\ni try with nod32,ad-aware and spybot,but it didn't have eny efect.\npleace does someone know what to do....i think i will have to do re-instal windows

U have serious spyware issues and u r not able to remove it as these spyware have added themself to ur startup list. So to remove them first click on start go to "run"\nthen write "msconfig" and press enter then go to startup tab and uncheck everything beside ur virus scan or if u have dsl connection then leave the software of ur ISP then click on apply and restart the computer. then unistall all the spyware removing softwares from Add and remove programs cause if u have lot of spyware removal tools then sometime they identify each other as spyware. Then download ADaware Se personal from download.com and run this scan in the safe mode as there is no software running in the background in the safe mode of the computer and ur computer will be clean as a whistle.

I have a great new innvention & need to find the best places to sell this to general public and shops. These are currently priced at £4.95 a set including a white pair of laces. All you need to do is fit these to your favourite trainers and then no more excess lace hanging around for tripping on!! \nwww.tagg-me.com...

Dear Friend: \n\nI've glanced at your website.\n\nMy first recommendation is:\n1- Don't sell to two markets on the same website. Here's why. The way you sell to the end user is NOT the way you sell to the shops or retailers. Because of this difference, I would address each audience with different offers. For example, shops want to hear about: profits, bottom-line, extra traffic they'll get because your product is sensational, new.. And end-users want to hear about safety (which the major thing you're selling in this invention)\n\n2-So at least have one webpage (or website for shops and retailers) and have another webpage (preferably a website for users)\n\n3-I would highly recommend direct response advertising (because this is the only type of advertising that lets you know if a promotion or campaign is profitable or not...)\n\n4-Put a small demonstration-video on your website where end-users can see exactly how your invention will help them.\n\nHope this helps you. Good luck.


I have no hunting or firing experience.  Never used a gun and don't care for the violence.  But last winter I was stranded on a farm with a crazy pissed guy with a shotgun and don't want to be in the position again.  The sherriff deputy suggested getting a handgun to keep with me because I live in the country on the county line.\n\nWhat steps should be taken?\nWhere to train to shoot?\nSpecial classes?\nWhere to apply for license?\nBest handgun to buy?\nAny good ideas for info?

If you feel safer having a gun around make sure you get some good range time, learning how to aim and steady your hand. First you should find a model you feel comfortable with. The same place that you buy your gun will usually have or know of a place where there is a range you can shoot at. Or some classes, just to learn to shoot better. When you go to practice, carry the gun in your trunk and make sure it is unloaded in case you get pulled over.\nAny gun range/ hunting store should know where to get a CCL (Concealed Carry License) if you want to carry it with you all the time. But you don't need a CCL to keep a gun in your home. (But just to make sure check the laws in your state.) Again anyone who sells guns will know the laws pertaining to them in your state. Just make sure that you take the time and learn how to shoot so if, let's hope never, the time comes to use it you will be confident in your aim even if you are shaking. Learning women's self defense is never a bad idea anyway. Any woman can learn  it. I own a gun but I still know how to take down a grown man by myself.\nI am 25 and I have a .38 automatic and I like it. (Though some people prefer revolvers because if it jams then you just move on to the next round. If an automatic jams you have to release the round.) I like the auntomatic because you can just keep pulling the trigger. It's big enough to get someone's attention but small enough to fit into a purse and doesn't have that bad of a kick once you get used to it. Plus it can make a pretty big hole. If you get hollow points they cause the most damage. For self defense I mean. That is what I have my gun for and I don't hunt or like violence either but sometimes my husband has to be gone and he would not let me stay alone without one. \nWhatever you do don't be embaressed about asking questions and telling the gun dealer exactly what you are wanting the gun for. Keep the safety on unless you are using it and lock it up if you have children. Always treat a gun like it is loaded even if you  know it isn't. Good luck and safe shooting if you decide to get a handgun. I know what it is to live out in the middle of nowhere with only yourself to rely on for defense.

Barcelona will win the Champions League. I do believe that Arsenal will get through with their one goal advantage but I think they will have a hard time containing the Barcelona attack, especially with all the numbers they push forward. Van Bronchorst is always free to push forward and he does so at very opportune times, Samuel Eto'o is phenomonal, Deco is a great attacking mid, Carlos Puyol is one of the most underrated defenders in the world and there is no need to tell you how valuable and spectacular Ronaldinho is; whether it is distributing the ball, hitting a free kick, or taking a defender on, he simply is unstoppable right now.


And is it a choice to take a minor ? in all colleges and majors or limited ones only ??\nplease i need Help !!

A minor does not have to be related to the major at all.  It is a choice to have a minor, so you don't have to have one.  Having a minor is going to require that you have a certain number of credits in the field that you choose for your minor.  It generally looks good on job applications if your minor also relates to the job, but it isn't necessary.\n\nYou will want to check with the department at the school that you are going to to see if they have a minor available.  Most departments do, but not all.  They also vary with how many credits they require and what specific classes you will need to take, so be sure to look into that too.  \n\nAnother option is the double major, which can make more sense sometimes if there isn't much of a difference in the credits you need for the minor or for the major.  That looks good on an application and probably gives you a little more flexibility when choosing what field to go in after school.  Good luck.


QUestion 1: Since medical Marijuana is now allowed in the state of california, (and please ignore the federal guidelines for a moment).. and since Police officers are granted the same coverage by the ADA, in theory.. can they use marijuana for "medicinal" uses and be protected against prosecution and or losing their jobs? (fyi, santa cruz and san mateo counties do not prosecute when u have a med card for civies.)ANyone with knowledge in this area.. please respond. \n\nPart 2: Police officers and depression/anxiety. Lots of them have it. How are they protected by the ADA and their own unions ?

I have to write a paper on any topic in science\nI'd like something:\nMetaphysical\nRisque\nHard Hitting\nControversial\n\nThe project is for a tenth grade class

Well, if it's going to be double-spaced, front page only, with a title page and bibliography, it shouldn't be so intimidating. Find your topic, write a thesis, support it with three examples to back your thesis and close it. Voila!\n\nI have a great topic idea. It has all the characteristics you're looking for. Have you ever heard of a man named Esaru Emoto? He's an Japanese scientist who has taken photographs and done lots of studies of the different ways stimuli affect water molecules. Basically, his premise is this:  human beings are mostly water, our emotions and thought processes can actually transform the structure of the water molecules in our body. Put very simply, if you think negatively, the water molecules in your body (and those of the people around you even), will become jaded and jagged and irregular. Likewise, positive thoughts leave molecules smooth and beautiful, and void of jagged edges. His research seems to confirm the age-old saying "mind over matter." Just a thought. Kudos.


I have stumbled across this language and wanted to know if anyone out there uses it or knows some one who does? Go to Esperanto at a Glance-Esperanto USA on google to learn more about it and let me know what u think. Its really cool.

"Yep, it was an artificial language which 'died'."  Hahaha\n\nMi parolas esperanton! (I speak esperanto) \n\nI speak esperanto better than english :P\n\nI have a lot of friends Esperantists!!  \n\n"Its phonetics is not very simple, it is a sexist language that considers for example, that a woman is just a female version of a man, and its derivational processes are not always very clear."\nThat is very subjective!  \n\nIt is more difficult to find idists than Esperantists!\n\nIn my opinion, what is important is to diffuse the "internal idea" (a neutral international language), and is better if is done from a sufficient strong movement(the esperantist).  Supporting Ido just would weaken a little the esperantist movement, but would not help to diffuse "the internal idea".\n\n"I've heard of it. I had a friend on livejournal.com who was studying it."\n\nSee:\nhttp://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?int=esperanto\nhttp://community.livejournal.com/esperanto/  \n\n;D

I particularly like Michael Nyman (Piano Soundtrack) and the Amelie Soundtrack. Any recommendations?


they (meaning many ) would watch your every mood . Some times I feel like saying something and sometime I act like I don't see them . It's like my god get a life . It's makes me feel so uncomfortable just to walk out my door .

thats  why  i  like  the  place  where we   live,  i  hate   places  where  you  live  right  on  top   of   people. we  love  the   country. rural  living. thats  the  life   for   me. sound  like   green  acres  dont  i. thats  ok.  i  love   it.


I'm about to join a gym, and was wondering if there are any particular machines I should use there to get rid of belly fat in particular. That's the only area I have a real problem with.

Cardio is the only way to burn fat around your mid section. You should go onto an elliptical machine, tredmill, or bike for about 30 minutes a day. Only do crunches after, or you could bulk up even more. Also, eat more protien, and less carbs. That will really help.


I have ridden bycicles before but it has been a little while now (8 years ago) My husband of 3 years has this idea of riding bikes together for excersice and fun.I know it's fun,but I am so worried about what other people might think and I feel a little awkward even thinking about it. I got hang ups big time. How do I get over the hang ups, and how do I force myself to accept this new hobby of my husbands that he wants me to enjoy? I'm 28 years old, I feel old!

What would people think?  Beleive me, people aren't spending their time worried about your exercise habits, and even if they were, what difference does that make to you?  I think it's grand that your hubby wants to spend more quality time with you.  Don't be self-conscious, have a good time!


Those who deny the Scripture and Allah's messengers will be dragged through boiling water and thrust into the Fire. \nQuran 40:70 - 72

You know, I can easily find a similar quote in Bible (no kidding!)


...she works out every day, and still it all goes to her thigs.  What can I do to help her, should I make her do a certain exercise that will be more effective??  One of her problems is that she loves to vegg over eat - especially muffins and ice cream, but she usually can go days without eating anything bad and only fruits and veggies.

Pilates is great for lengthening the leg muscles rather than bulking them up.  Also, she should do strength training, and she should work all areas of the thigh but use light weights and high reps to tone and trim rather than using heavy weights and low reps which bulk the muscles up. \nShe should definitely do a combination of strength training and cardio.  Try some body sculpting moves like squats and lunges for the quadriceps; dead lifts for the hamstrings; for the inner thigh, she can lay on her back and squeeze a large exercise ball between her thighs or without a ball she can lay on her back and have her legs straight up in the air then move them out and in  (like scissors) in a slow and controlled way.  She can do 25 with her feet flexed and 25 with her toes pointed and legs angled out.  For her outer thigh, there are many great exercises such as lying on one side and slowly kicking the top leg up and down while keeping the leg very straight and the toe lightly pointed.  There are so many great leg exercises but they can be hard or lengthy to explain.  Check out pilates books and videos, women's fitness magazines etc, and you can find some great ones to target the thighs.  \n\nJust a question, does she know you are asking this?  If not then don't get caught! Most women would be pretty offended by their guy sking a question about their thigh problems, even if you are trying to help her.  Be careful!


LET ME KNOW THE BEST SURFING SPOTS IN SOCAL.

Blacks beach in Northern San Diego county is well known among the better surfers in southern california for being the one of the best if not the best surfing spots in Southern California.  Not only is the break really clean because of the underwater canyon, the beach is also very isolated because you have to walk down the cliff to get there.  If you want to surf around Orange County I would recommend either San Clemente or Laguna Beach.  You want to stay away from Huntington at all costs during the summer.


I've never heard of anyone being stung by a bumble bee.

Of course they can. I once bought a round of beer at a local bar, where I was served by a bee who was working part time as a barmaid. The bee overcharged me by £5. I don't even think it was a girl bee, but it was difficult to tell as the bar was quite dark. That was the last time I was stung by a bee in a bar though, as if I see a bee behind the bar in a pub, I just leave without buying a drink. Just remember, bees are untrustworthy bar stewards.


I just learnt from the news that is effective in treating premature ejaculation, according to a report by researchers in Turkey. Has anybody tried it before? How to use it properly?

Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security. What is going on up there with our new fool proof Patriot Act? I thought this administration wasn't spying on Americans. Wasn't this American girl 14?

he wouldn't dare, even fat ugly repuglicans don't like pedophiles. Nobody likes pedophiles, but I do wonder if it was discussed

in hindsight it was pretty pointless, but there had to be some reason it still exsisted in the 1960's

It's not logic...it's prejudice & ignorance.
