Children tend to dislike bitter tastes, but many adults like them - is this cultural or a physiological effect of aging?

The four things we can taste (sweet, sour, salty, and bitter) don't change. However, our sensitivity to each of the four can change as we age and our sensitivity to smells (which is an important component of taste) can also change. Finally, our preferences can change so that things we once found "tasty" no longer appeal to us and vice-versa.

I want to leave Windows but remove everything else.

If there is no critial data on the drive, use the control panel to remove all of the programs which have nothing to do with the hardware function.  Often you can use an internet search engine to help sort out what is best to leave.  Make sure that you delete any games.  Use Explorer to delete any directories for the games and programs removed.\n\nNext delete all of the files from My Documents.\nNow you need to run a utility called Disk Cleanup.  This will depend upon which version of Windows you have, but you should be able to find it using the Help function (It is usually found in Programs, under Accessories, System Tools).  Delete every thing that you can, including the stuff in the Trash can.\n\nNext open My Computer and highlight and select your hard drive with a single right click.  You should see an options window open.  Left click on Properties to open a drive window.  Next left click on the Tools tab, followed by the Defragment button.\n\nOnce the Defrag is done, your drive is going to be as clean as you can get it without special programs or information.  Windows should not be affected.


I am thinking about making homemade salve and selling on line and at various craft shows. Can I be sued??

Strictly speaking, anybody can be sued for anything.  Whether the suit gets anywhere is another question.  You should probably consult an attorney to see what your liability, if any, might be.


What is the difference between a cup and a championship?

A championship is a GATHERING of CHAMPIONS. You do not need to be a champ to be in a cup. REmember. They call the World cup FINALS where it gathers the FINALISTS instead of the champs. What puzzles me is what they call the Conferderations Cup, but one has to be a champ to be in it. I would love to see this question resolved.

After a great war or even when the Romans began ruling... how was and is an economy made?

It mainly develops naturally. The flow of money is the building block of an economy, and people will keep money flowing fairly well on their own as long as there is a basic infrastructure, such as a set market place and day/time. The highly complex economy we have today is mainly the result of these natural developments. Governmental interference can only make a limited amount of difference.


Back around 1986 - well all held hands and sang "We are the World". (At least, we did at my school - it was more like "Hands Across the Playground".)\n\nI just can't seem to remember exactly what we were getting all unified about ... poverty & hunger in Africa?


Any medical treatment options other surgery?


How do we have a representative democracy yet most of the people i know do not agree with what our leader is doing?   It does not seem democratic

Judging by the last two elections it is evident that the voice of the people no longer exists.\n\nWhat you are currently witnessing is the sad truth of how corrupt individuals have overthrown a good working government and turned it into a dictatorship through manipulation.\n\nAlso another BIG misunderstanding is most people believe that the United States is a Democracy when in fact it is not!  It is a Republic!  A true Democracy (direct Democracy) would allow individuals to directly vote on legislation and do away with Senators and Congresspeople. To learn more, read, "A Republic, If You Can Keep It" - a statement by Congressman Ron Paul. (It is the second link below).\n\nOr better yet click on the first link below to learn more about what is true and what isn't.  It is one heck of an eye opener!\n\n:)\nPeace


Is it safe to be removed from my computer and what exactly is it (spyware)?

Can anybody tell me the procedures for a full, 100% consciousness out of body experience through the help of sleep or meditation?

I've read a ton of books on the subject, that was quite a few years ago so I don't know what to recommend.  I had quite an experience that has stayed with me ever since that's too long to talk about here, but it was convincing enough, and I'm not prone to falling for supernatural explanations to explain what I don't understand.\n\nIn a nutshell, you need to be very relaxed and not in a place you can be distracted.  A breathing excercise helps, I use the "breath in to count of three, hold for four, breath out for 5" routine.  Get as relaxed as possible and concentrate on raising yourself up out of your body.  If you can concentrate easily it takes less tries of course, but you will actually feel it happen.  Whether that's a dream or not I don't know.  When you get to that point pick a place in the house to go to and concentrate on going there.  It's really simple, and doesn't take a great deal of effort.  This is the stage I was able to achieve, around 1986, when I stopped and never did it again.  Nothing really scary, I guess it just convinced me enough and I left it at that.\n\nGood luck.

My husband is fairly anti-social and lazy. we don't have much of a social life outside of my family because my husband hates dealing with people. I am more social, but find that I don't know how to turn people I know into friends. I'm bored all the time and tired of inviting people over or out and being denied.\nWhat can I do?

try meeting other married woman who are in the same situation as you you should be able to find social groups on yahoo or other web sites


Online gambling is considered an illegal activity, however I feel like I should report my wins and losses in that area just the same as I report them from casinos.  Will I get in trouble with the law by admitting that I gamble online (as millions of others do.)

I agree with the answers provided above, but with one caveat. Illegal business activities are not allowed to deduct business expenses. So reporting the illegal gambling winnings on a Schedule C would mean that no expenses can be claimed. This would subject the gross winnings (from illegal gambling) to Self-Employment Taxes. This will increase your taxes, and not provide you with the benefit of deductible expenses.\n\nSo, I would list this income as gambling winnings, with losses reported on Schedule A as an itemized deduction.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nWilliam


With semester exams this week, I'm looking for ways to memorize terms/words and match them up with a definition/explanation. I have to do this for English, Band (music terms), World History, and Spanish.

You should consider low income housing and a social worker


The more detailed the answer the better.

I would suggest a 2 year RN program at a community college.  I would then complete the BSN while working as a nurse (to make sure you like it) then apply to a CRNA (or other nurse practitioner school if you want to explore other nurse practice opportunities) and work while in school.  That way you are making a fairly good living and working in the field. \n\nThe link below may prove informative. \n\nGood luck!


It would be a building next door, which happens to be a YMCA.  It's the equivalent of 1/4 mile, one way.  There are 200+ of us who work in this building, many of whom rely on public transportation to get to/from work.

The question still isn't easy to answer. Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney, or take the advise of the previous responder.\n\nBut the truth is, this is a free country and they can't make you do anything. The answer might be, however, do you want to continue to work for them and receive a paycheck?


I saw this on tv a month ago, but for the life of me I can't remember where it was. \n\nA man built this huge structure of Coral for a loved one all by himself. He was 3 or 4 feet tall, said he figured out the secret how the eqyptians built the pyramids or something like that and died before he could tell his findings. Any info or websites will be appreciated.

Now I do not mean a cursing fight, Just a general curse word like when you do something wrong?

No, at least not in the US. It goes with the whole "freedom of speech" thing. The first amendment says:\n\n"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."\n\nIf someone is telling you how to speak in your own backyard, your first amendment rights are being violated.\n\nHowever if you're cursing loud enough to disturb your neighbours, then you're infringing on their rights, in which case you can be charged with a disorderly persons offence.


I'd like to know the main causes of the allergy including asthma and how can we avoid it?

Dust and cold water is the cause of asthama and the best way is to be as far as u can from dust.


I would like to just be able to log on and upload and send.  I've seen my friend pull albums off a site that her brother had sent her but I can't remember the name.  Not bit torrent.

You could just use an instant messenger application that has file sharing such as Yahoo messenger or MSN messenger.  This would take out the middle man and actually get it there quicker.


How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.


this has been going on for 3 years went to dr they dont know what is causing it.

Get a full upper scope (EGD) and a colonoscopy done.  Get some lab tests to measured inflammation (ESR, CRP) and most of all speak to your doctor.  Sounds like you could have Crohn's disease, but you could also just have irritable bowel syndrome with some ulcers mixed in for the nausea.  Lastly you could have peptic ulcer disease which can be easily treated with antibiotics.  Just get tested and talk to your doctor... and DEMAND answers! :)


I mean, both the most crowded one, the one with the largest population, and the most extended one (with the largest surface).\n\nThanks

yeah..... movies seem to work ok, but you have to wait a while for everyone else to leave...

go to a park w/ your significant other and find a diserted place. or just go to a willing friends house and do it there,(check w/ friend some may not like that idea) if you cant do any of these then go to the mall and find a diserted store corner. other wise just dont. a relaitionship isnt based on making out so you should be fine w/ 1 or 2 missed oppertunities


i am always out of breath when i run even short distances. is this my asthma or am i just out of shape?

My brother is always out of breath because of his asthma so that's probably it. You should see your doctor and ask him if there's something he can prescribe that make you breath better. Good Luck.


¡¡¡Merry Christmas!!! I love Christmas. But I hate going out to the stores, deciding on what to get, finding out its out of stock, fighting traffic, fighting checkout lines... What's a good one-size fits all, get over it, I'm done with it, take it and be happy, don't talk to me about another trip to the mall until 2010, happy last minute Christmas gift?

Yes, that's why this year I'm on strike with the retailers.  I refuse to buy in to a commercial holiday.  All of our purchasing power should be put back in to our charities.  Katrina, Tsnami in India and other countries affected, Homeless in US, Make-a-Wish Foundation, and etc.  I could keep going...


One purpose if the limitations impoosed by the american constitutional government is to check the power of the majority. How can this be justified in a political system that is based on popular sovereignty?

The justification for checking the majority rests in the fact that the majority can not use their power to control a minority. The saying majority rules/minority rights is a good example. The majority is in charge but they can not use their power to stomp out a minority or take away minority rights. Also, the fouding fathers wanted to include this so that a dictatorship/kingship couldn't take form. By limiting the majority it limits their ability to take control in such a way.


What is the difference? Is there a difference?

DSL is a type of broadband connection.  It stands for Digital Subscriber Line, and is offered by traditional phone companies (wired, not wireless).  The signal travels thru phone lines and into your home or business.  A modem is connected to it so it can translate the signal into ditigal data and then is usually output via Ethernet.  Its main competitor (at least in homes)is Cable broadband.  The difference between the two is that cable generally provides faster bandwith (download/upload speed), but is less secure than DSL, which provides each user with a unique IP (Internet Protocol)address.  Most cable internet home subscribers are connected to a router with up to 255 other subscribers, making attacks and intrusions much more likely.

Its analogous to "every which way" or "as much/often as possible."  According to lastsource.com (which is linked below in cached form, as I was having trouble accessing the site), the phrase originated in Rome during the early days of Christianity:  In order to encourage Church-goers to show up to Mass on time, the parish priest would have the last person to arrive beaten mercilessly the other 6 days of the week.

Everytime i fill one in and it always says "made by hand" does this meana machine can't make them?\n\nI would rather get an answer to my first question please.

Just randomly enter numbers according to the rules of the puzzle, but using a blank grid. Start with one or two per 9-square block. To make the puzzle difficult, only enter a few numbers, and add more to make it easier.\n\nIt should be quite simple for a computer program to make a Sudoku puzzle, since there are basic rules to follow. I'm sure the "made by hand" claim is for marketing purposes (though I'm sure it's true).

I seen question asking if it was better than internet explorer and wondered exactly what it was and where to get it.

Mozilla Firefox is a free, cross-platform, graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and hundreds of volunteers.[1] The browser began as a fork of the Navigator component of the Mozilla Application Suite; Firefox has since become the foundation's main development focus (along with its Thunderbird mail and news client), and has replaced the Mozilla Suite as their official main software release.\n\nBefore its 1.0 release, Firefox had already gained acclaim from numerous media outlets, including Forbes[2] and the Wall Street Journal.[3] With over 25 million downloads in the 99 days after the initial 1.0 release, Firefox became one of the most downloaded free and open source applications, especially among home users.[4] On October 19, 2005, Firefox had its 100 millionth download, just 344 days after the release of version 1.0.[5] Firefox 1.5 was released on November 29, 2005, on the redesigned Mozilla Corporation website, with more than 2 million downloads within the first 36 hours.\n\nFirefox includes an integrated pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, support for open standards, and an extension mechanism for adding functionality. Although other browsers have introduced these features, Firefox became the first such browser to achieve wide adoption.\n\nFirefox has attracted attention as an alternative to other browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. As of November 2005, estimates suggest that Firefox's usage share is around 9.4% of overall browser usage (See market adoption), with its highest usage in Finland (about 30%). Since its release, Firefox has contributed to a reduction in Internet Explorer's dominant usage share.\n\nYou can download it at:\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Why exclude? Let people make up their own minds. Seems to me if you leave one or two out, it 'authorizes' one view over any other.

There's no reason that all three shouldn't be taught.  However, creationism and intelligent design should certainly not be taught in a science class because they're not scientific at all.  It's not a question of "making up minds," it's a question of science class.\n\nItelligent design and creationism should and could be taught by parents or at Sunday school or during a religious studies class at school.  They're not science, but there's nothing wrong with that.  The fact that they're not science does NOT mean that they aren't true.


other than main stream department stores


Why don't we ever snore while we are awake.

Snoring is when your soft palate is so relaxed it falls down your throat when you breathe.  If you're awake, you expend the minor effort to keep it up--just the same way you don't fall down in a limp mass when you're awake, but would if suddenly shoved out of bed in your sleep.

It would seem to me that if there is a violation being practiced that Yahoo would give the group owner a warning/reason and allow the group owner a chance to straighten it out before closing a Yahoo group down on them. With out a rhyme or reason how can a group owner know how to not get shut down. Yes you have\nrules and guidelines but frankly they are so long and\nextensive (which I understand) that I can see where a \nrule or understanding of a rule could be misunderstood\nor overlooked.\nThank you very much\nHootyTuts

Sorry, but if you want to use web services, it is your obligation to understand and obey all the rules stated in the terms of service. I have found most of them pretty easy to understand if you just take the time to read them, which can be very important to do.


what is happenen in your church, tell me about it.

Prayer meeting Wednesday night. Sabbath School Saturday morning. Study the Bible and find out what is happening in people's lives. Church Service after Sabbath School. Inspiring music, praying for each other, offerings, semon, children's story. After church socializing, sometimes potluck dinner. At Christmas we made plates of cookies and gave them to neighbors of the church. Sharing our faith. Hope you have as good a church as we really appreciate ours.


She started out as my firne during softball season and we hung out messed around we were kewl i asked her out once during softball but she got a lilweird and went back to her girl..so then we were just friends and then we started to hang out more and so i asked her to the winter dance(jan.13) so everytime we see each other out in publice we glance smile and and wink or laugh it depends but when were not together were on the phone talkin about everything thats anything and when we happen to run into eachother but were with different ppl we always glance back and smile and keep looking everyonce in awhile..i want us to be more  but i jut dont what to tell her..

There was a gas leak in the building at work today.  The plumber, gas company, and other people said that the gas is denser than the air, so it sinks.  I accept that fact, I know there are dangers of using propane heaters in a duck boat because the gas can settle in the bottom of the boat.\n\nBut when I was in 8th grade, we did a science experiment.  We filled up drycleaning bags with the natural gas that comes from the spigots of each lab table (for the bunsen burners).  Then we put in a SASE in each bag, taped them shut, and released them outside.  All the bags floated off.  They were made of transparent plastic.  That implies the gas is lighter than air.\n\nSo why are there warning about the natural gas settling in a basement or other low areas?  I natural gas composed of methane, ethane, propane, butane, etc but in diminishing percentages?

Usually the composition f natural gas is as follows:\nComponent   Typical Analysis(mole %)  Range(mole %)\nMethane          94.9                  87.0 - 96.0\nEthane           2.5                   1.8 - 5.1\nPropane          0.2                   0.1 - 1.5 \niso - Butane     0.03                  0.01 - 0.3\nnormal - Butane  0.03                  0.01 - 0.3\niso - Pentane    0.01                  trace - 0.14\nnormal - Pentane 0.01                  trace - 0.04\nHexanes plus     0.01                  trace - 0.06\nNitrogen         1.6                   1.3 - 5.6\nCarbon Dioxide   0.7                   0.1 - 1.0\nOxygen           0.02                  0.01 - 0.1\nHydrogen         trace                 trace - 0.02\n  \nSpecific Gravity 0.585                 0.57 - 0.62\nGHV(MJ/m3), dry* 37.8                  36.0 - 40.2

I heard it helps to have the right keywords on the head of the html code as "meta names"... anyone can help me further?

Allow me to answer this question because I AM on the top #1 spot in three different categories (first names, nursery rhymes, blonde jokes).\n\nCONTENT -- \nFirst and foremost, the content you have on your site is the most important and most crucial thing over anyting else that you can do to your site. What I advise my clients to do is to actually THINK like a search engine or if that is too abstract, think like someone who speaks a different language. \n\nAlthough search engines are getting much better at figuring out exactly what it is that is on the page, remember it is often impossible for them to decipher Java, Javascript, Flash, and other non-HTML components. This is NOT to say don't use them, just use them when they are to be used appropriately.\n\nBecause search engines ARE getting better at figuring out what is on a page, spelling and grammar are also very important. The rule of thumb is no more than three misspellings and no more than three gramatical errors on a page. Sentences should be of short to medium length and paragraphs should also be rather short.\n\nDO NOT COPY OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. The search engines can penalize a site heavily for plagiarism.\n\nTAGS\n\nTitle Tags -- The most important of all tags is the Title tag. This is what shows up on the bars on the bottom of your computer screen. Most people make the mistake of putting their company name in the Title Tag and that is the worst thing to do (other than putting no tag at all). A Title Tag should be short and to the point and tell what the page is about and if you want to add your company name then add it at the END of the title tag not at the beginning.\n\nMeta Tags -- Meta tags were how search engines would know what was on a page... many years ago. However, with that said it is important that Meta tags are still added to your site and more importantly there are new meta tags (more than just description and keywords) that should be added to the web site such as content type and content language.\n\nMeta Description -- Meta description should start out with the SAME thing your TITLE tag says and then go into more detail. \n\nMeta Keywords -- Meta keywords are words used to describe what is in your page. First use keywords that are in the title and the description first. Then use keywords that are in the content of the page. DO NOT try to spam the search engines by using keywords that are not relevant to your content.\n\nAlt Tags -- With the advent of XHTML, ALT tags for images are now REQUIRED. The Alt tag is used for people who have their images turned off so it is important to have in the alt tag exactly what the image is but also expand on what it is. An example would be a HOME button. Instead of just having HOME as the Alt Tag, use Home -- Site Name.com. \n\nI have noticed that search engines love geography and it is good to put that in there whenever appropriate. If your company is in Kansas City, MO then put those in the Content and in the Tags.\n\nLINKS\n\nHaving links that send people to sites relevant to your site is always a good practice. People ask me where I get links and how do I get people to link to my site. The answer is very simple. First I ask. I write e-mails (NOT SPAM) to sites asking if they wish to reciprocate links with me and I also have on some of my pages a "Link to this Page" button so that web site owners can do it on their own.\n\nThere is great debate as to whether links to other sites that are not of the same category help, hurt, or are indifferent. From my ten years experience I have found that appropriate links DO NOT hurt your web site and could very well help in some instances.\n\nPRIVACY POLICY\n\nI won't go into much detail here but make sure you have one. So many people forget this and it is extremely important. You will NOT find a major web page that does not have a Privacy Policy attached to it.\n\nTRAFFIC\n\nObviously the more traffic you have coming to your web site the better. Not only ar


1. Food and Drug Administration\n2. Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal care\n3. National institutes of Health\n4. United States Department of Agriculture\n\nwhich one is the correct answer? thanks.

The correct answer is 4) US Department of Agriculture, specifically, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

I want to protect my XL file from others delete it.I know that i can protect by editing and see from others.but i dont know how to protect ot by delete from others?

Best thing you can do is set permissions on the XLS file itself by right clicking it and going to Properties and select the Security Tab (assuming you have XP).\n\nNow you will see a few permissions listed, you can set specific permissions on the file so it can only be read and not deleted or written to etc. Or if you want remove any that says 'Everyone' and only leave yourself on the list, that why only you can open it.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nCheers!

Besides the local phone number, what are the other numbers I might have to compose to get in contact with someone from Buenos Aires?  Also, what is the format of an Argentinian phone number (in Canada it would be ###-####)

If you are calling someone in Buenos Aires and are calling from the US, it would be 011-5411- and then an 8 digit number, most likely beginning with a 4 or a 5. The only tricky part is if you call someone on their cell phone...although in Argentina they may tell you that their cell phone number begins with 154, when you call from the US, this 15 disappears and should be dialed as 011-54911- and then the 8 digit number.


What do you think? People switching Yahoo id's and giving themselves the right and best answer on the first try? Especially to SUBJECTIVE questions?

I think it's highly probable.  If the stake is high enough, some people will do just about anything to get more points.  I just hope Yahoo! has a way to detect and catch these people.


i like exexex bf we kept breaking up then getting together he has a gf now and i c him everyday in skool and we have all the same classes but i stil i like him alot i cant stop thinking abouty him...what do i do????i want to get over him but it hard cus i see him everyday and i still have feeling for him..please help????

you said that you still like him but you didn't mention if he still likes you and i think he would not get involve with someone else if he is still interested in you.i can suggest that you focus on other things, instead of constantly thinking of him in class why not focus more on your studies, enroll in music or art classes. keep yourself busy until you heal and ready to get into another relationship. good luck:)


It's entirely a matter of preference and opinion. \n\nWith that said: Bill Clinton. :)

Uranus obeys the Titius-Bode rule, it is Neptune which doesn't.\n\nNo hard explanation, only an analogy: in quantum mechanics, the outer orbits of electrons may approach a continuum, as they do in metal bonds. With the increasing distances in the logarithmic Titius-Bode sequence, probably the quadratic distance influence of gravity allow intermediary orbits.


I'm sorry many misunderstood my first question... Of course Paul's teaching is from Christ read I Corinthians 14:37, what i'm reffering to as other scriptures are the ones not in the bible.... remember i'm the bible guy!!!!

The entire Bible, old and new testament should be used as truth.  All scripture is inspired by God.  Extrabiblical accounts should only be used cautiously if at all.


i cant stand it at home because of fighting and getting called names

Your best bet is to talk it over with your parents and your sister to see if you can come to an agreement.  Legally, you can get a lawyer and pursue the status of an emancipated minor, but that takes money and time.  Odds are at 17 you haven't got the money, and by the time it was over you'd be 18 and free anyway.  \n\nNow, if there is actual abuse going on, get in touch with a local child abuse advocacy group or file a complaint with local law enforcement.

If you could choose an amount of money to be given to you, and you could keep or spend it all (but not give it to charities or friends).. only for personal consumption.  How much money is the right amount to ask for - and how much is just too much - how much is being greedy?  (For purposes of this answer, say you're 25 and single, but expect to have a family someday)

There is never too much money. Because honestly, if i had too much money, i could eat caviar 3 times a day and fly my private jet between my 135 houses all over the world. That would really be okay by me.\n\nOn that note, if you feel that you have too much money, i'll gladly accept some of that extra cash.


The essence of this question is because I cheerish and eat frozen white meat like chicken and turkey alot. The answer will no doubt direct my further eating habit.

The answer is definately  NO, not if you live in the USA.  I think it is still no, in other countries, as long as it is cooked.


I have newborn twins and am slowly going crazy...

According to sleep researchers, sleep does not have to be uninterrupted in order to fulfill the body's sleep requirements. Your body and mind are getting rest. Just pretend that you are not frustrated as you are, and be happy that your body and mind are being adequately rested despite this.


why i am getting upset?\nwhy i can not save money although i am working?\nwhy i always feel lonly?

When getting upset is not accomplishing anything and interfering with your ability to function, that's too many times.\n\nYou are probably getting upset because you don't feel like you have the power to change your situation.  This will lead to depression.\n\nThe best way to save money is to put a few dollars in a savings account every time you get your check.  If you have direct deposit, talk to your bank to find out if they can do this automatically.  Another practical solution is to make a diary of what, when and how you are spending your money so that you can see where your weaknesses are.  However, overspending can happen because it makes you feel better or in control, so this may be a symptom of depression.\n\nWhen you are depressed, it's hard to feel like people will be interested in you or even like you.  This creates a barrier between you and other people.\n\nTherapy would be your best way to handle this - a therapist could guide you in making changes that will improve your life.  If you can't afford or get access to a therapist, the next best thing is a book called "Feeling Good: the New Mood Therapy" by David D. Burns


And why does it matter?\n\n(And, for bonus points, what do we need to do to make that statement mathematically correct?)

what are side effects?\n\nSame for aciphex 20mg

To reduce side effects of PANTOPRAZOLE (PROTONIX®), be sure to swallow the tablets whole with a drink of water (8 oz); do not crush, break, or chew. Take your doses at regular intervals. In addition, avoid frequent use of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, smoke, and illegal drugs.\n\nSome of the more severe side effects of PROTONIX® that require for you to contact your prescriber or health care professional are listed at DrugDigest.org. And these are: \n\n•fever or sore throat\n•     redness, blistering, peeling or loosening of  the skin, including inside the mouth\n•     skin rash, itching\n•     unusual bleeding or bruising\n•     unusual weakness or tiredness\n•     yellowing of the eyes or skin\n \nLess serious side effects are side effects that usually do not require medical attention, but it is recommended that you report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome. These are:\n\n•     diarrhea\n•     dizziness\n•     dry skin\n•     headache\n•     nausea/vomiting\n•     stomach pain or gas\n•     tiredness\n\nBoth of these medicines, RABEPRAZOLE (ACIPHEX™) and PANTOPRAZOLE (PROTONIX®), prevents the production of acid in the stomach. Therefore the side effects are the same.\n\nHope this answers your question,


These would be small towns that may not exist anymore.  They were probably part of Poland/Austria.  My guess is that they were wiped out during the holocaust.


I say yes. I don't think that even Castro would send in a team of baseball players, including ones that we love and trust, in to kill us. What say you?

Actually MLB wants Cuban players to play. The problem is actually government sanctions against Cuba and Cuba will not be allowed a permit to play.


Some items at the grocers say 0 sugar; 14 sugar alcohol

Sugar alcohols are fake sugars.  The barely have any effect on your blood sugar and therefore are very low carb.  Excessive consumption of sugar alcohols can cause loose stools!

We've always accepted it as a fact of life, but why didn't humans evolve to have excellent night vision (like cats) and be less efficient with food (burn more calories INSTEAD of sleeping)? Wouldn't this have worked just as well?

Nobody knows for sure; however, there are many theories.  Below is a very plasable one:\n\nJerome Siegel, of the University of California in Los Angeles, along with colleagues elsewhere, has suggested a third possibility. Writing in a special review of sleep in the current issue of Nature, Dr Siegel says that it may be related to defence against oxidative stress. Smaller animals have higher metabolic rates, and this results in the generation of higher levels of small, highly reactive molecules such as free radicals. Studies on rats show that when they are deprived of sleep, their oxidative stress increases. Dr Siegel proposes that animals with higher metabolic rates need more sleep to interrupt and protect against this kind of oxidative damage, as well as repairing any damage done.


Has anyone worked with a Virtual Assistant? Would you pay for the service? I am thinking of starting this serv\nA Virtual Admin. I am thinking of starting a small business as an virtual admin. asst. setting up  video-conferences for different companies using my software and camera. As well as projects that any Admin. Asst. would do. I have worked with Polycom, and Breeze Presenter/PowerPoint. Does anyone think they would have a use for this. My rates would go around 25-50 an hr depending on the type of services your looking for.\nVideo conferences would be a bit more just because of the cost I would have to eat. Let me know what anyone thinks.

Starting as a virtual assistant is a great idea. (I know, I started that way several years ago.) I do recommend that any of those new to the industry consider your best areas of service before launching and specialize from the start.\n\nUnless you are planning on doing the video conferencing locally, I think you may find that to be a bit difficult to pull off. Not because it can't be done, but because you would need to work with clients that are able to set up the hardware and software on their own sites. Usually, people hire you to solve problems -- and the video conferencing has a serious potential to CREATE problems, especially long distance.\n\nBefore you launch a VA practice, research the name you plan to use for the business (an Internet search is a great place to begin) because you don't want to use a name that's already in use (and possibly trademark protected).\n\nThen consider your strengths and weaknesses. Do an honest self-assessment to determine what services you can offer that will benefit your clients while emphasising your skills, background and education without requiring you to delve into areas that are not your best.\n\nIf you are going to be a VA, a website is essential. If creating a good website isn't your strength -- hire it out or barter services with someone else who can create an effective site.\n\nMarket yourself everywhere you go (business cards at the ready). And, always look for opportunities to talk about what you do -- this is most easily achieved by asking others about their own work (they will usually return the favor). Although Virtual Assistance is a known term in many circles, it still seems to create a bit of interest in casual conversation -- use that to your advantage by begin able to answer questions about the industry in general and your own business in particular.\n\nRead articles by others on the topic of running your own VA business.\n\nBe sure you are willing to put in the hours required to start and run a business. It's not as simple as announcing and starting to work. You will need to research your market, talk with people in the business, talk with people in your target industry/industries, read, research on the web and... PLAN.\n\nBest wishes to you as you begin your endeavor. It's a great career option brought to you by this age of technology!


Can I run Ubuntu and Macc OS X on the same Mac? -I'd like to try Ubuntu ( http://ubuntulinux.org/ ), but I don't have any experience with running multiple operative systems on a Mac.\n\nIs it likely that I'll loose my files? How do I setup Ubuntu and Mac OS X and have Mac OS X as standard? How do I select whitch one I'm to use on boot? Do I need an external harddrive to install Ubuntu? How much diskspace will Ubuntu 5.10 and Mac OS 10.4.3 use?

The good news is that you can install Ubuntu Linux as they have a PowerPC version available, Macs can't use the x86 version.  Ubuntu and most Linux distros come with bootloaders which will allow you to dual boot OSX and the Linux distro, in this case Ubuntu.  The Ubuntu installer should be able to partition and format your drive while keeping the OSX installation intact.  Once you have installed Ubuntu you should be able to select from either Ubuntu or OSX to boot with.  Ubuntu shouldn't take more than 3GB for the install but you will want to give it at least a 10GB partition to work with.\n\nI know next to nothing about dual booting a Mac but that is how it would work on Windows.

Hint : I was told that the rings DO NOT represent the 5 continents

I'm not sure how to interpret your "hint", but Wikipedia says:\n\nThe Olympic movement uses many symbols, most of them representing Coubertin's ideas and ideals. The best known symbol is probably that of the Olympic Rings. These five intertwined rings represent the unity of five continents. They appear in five colors on a white field on the Olympic Flag. These colors, white (for the field), red, blue, green, yellow, and black were chosen such that each nation had at least one of these colors in its national flag. The flag was adopted in 1914, but the first Games at which it was flown were Antwerp, 1920. It is hoisted at each celebration of the Games.\n\nAre you positive your hinter is reliable? Maybe they meant how the colors (or which there are also five) do not represent the continents?


If there is only ONE absolute truth to this question, why are there so many different answers? Just want to know...have advanced cancer and would like to hear what you have to say. http://360.yahoo.com/mrknstktn

Hi,\n\nI believe there is such things as absolute truth, variations only stand when different people believe differently.\n\nWhere do we go when we die? All brings back to the very reason for existence, very reason why God created mankind. (N.B. I do believe in God) Did God created man so that he could spend his time leisuring, get drunk, fool around, have intercourse for fun etc?\n\nYou asked for opinion and this is mine: No, God did not create us just for fun without any particular reason. The Supreme ONE must have had a cause for all of us. As for me, I believe that we are all created to 'enslave' ourselves to Him. Life is a test, and only His worthy subjects will be rewarded with heaven in hereafter.\n\nSurely, He must have provided us with a manual for us to navigate ourselves in life i.e. finding the true path to Him. Like we when buy a car, the manufacturer provides us with the manual. So it is up to us to look into the manual, or rather to look FOR the manual in any old 'drawer' that we might have misplaced it.\n\nGood luck. May God bless you.


Is it because he invaded Iraq?? Or is it because he is arrogant??

George Bush Jr. could not be the CEO of any major corporation in this country.\nHe lacks the leadership qualities to bring diverse groups of people together. He lacks the ability to analyze a problem taking into consideration other points of view. He is totally incompetent to run Texas, let alone the greatest Democracy of all time.\n  His election to the Presidency, although still in doubt, was the most absurd choice in our history. There were hundreds of men and women who could do the job and we the people picked him.\n  We knew about his past problems with alcohol, his mediocre college record, and his failure as a business man and we still said, "Here take the job as head of the free world and see what you can do with it>"\n   I think that a critical mass of horrible things happened that has caused the American people to feel terribly guilty that they allowed this man to be their President and even re-elected him. \n   His appearance as a strong leader has given way to being a spoiled brat who has a stubborn streak. His advisers told him to act like a leader and I must say that if you were not born to be one, it is hard thing to do. \n  I think there were three last straws. Terry Schiavo, Katrina, and Harriet Meiers. These events along with rising gas prices and loss of pensions and jobs by millions of people are driving the heartland crazy.\n  Three more years....Unless Congress can neutralize his poison...instead of rubber stamping his policies. Either Democrats must be elected or Republicans must show some backbone and stand for something again.


swimming through the ashes of another life"

Its a song called "45" by Shinedown. These are the lyrics; \n\nSend away for a priceless gift \n\nOne not subtle, one not on the list \n\nSend away for a perfect world \n\nOne not simply, so absurd \n\nIn these times of doing what you're told \n\nYou keep these feelings, no one knows \n\nWhat ever happened to the young man's heart \n\nSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart \n\n\nAnd I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, \n\nSwimming through the ashes of another life \n\nNo real reason to accept the way things have changed \n\nStaring down the barrel of a 45 \n\n\nSend a message to the unborn child \n\nKeep your eyes open for a while \n\nIn a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else \n\nThere's a piece of a puzzle known as life \n\nWrapped in guilt, sealed up tight \n\n\nWhat ever happened to the young man's heart \n\nSwallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart \n\n\n[CHORUS] \n\n\nEveryone's pointing their fingers \n\nAlways condemning me \n\nAnd nobody knows what I believe \n\nI believe \n\n\n[CHORUS]


IF people dont wear them while playing tennis then why are they called that?

Tennis bracelets, also known as diamond line bracelets, are thin, elegant pieces of wrist jewelry that feature a symmetrical pattern of diamonds. Unlike charm bracelets, they lack pendants or mementos. \nAccording to numerous web sites, such as Professional Jeweler Magazine and Normans of Mosman, tennis star Chris Evert was known for her diamond line bracelets. She lost one during the 1987 U.S. Open, and the game had to be temporarily halted while she prowled the court for it. The "tennis bracelet" incident sparked a new name for the item, as well as a huge jewelry trend. \n\nFollowing in the footsteps of the great Chris Evert, last year Serena Williams wore a custom-design Harry Winston tennis bracelet at the U.S. Open. According to the press release, "Winston added an extra secure safety clasp to the bracelet to make sure the flexible and fluid piece will stay securely on Williams' 7 and one-half inch wrist." \n\nRegards\n\nParadiso


Can a person who has been evil all their life really earn salvation just by saying "Im sorry" before dying?

No person can ever EARN salvation. Salvation is a gift from God.  Yes, all a person has to do is repent (meaning turn away from sin/old lifestyle) and believe, even if they have been evil all of their life.

I don't care about Price.  ETA of the system is a major part, I'm willing to spend up to $8,000 on computer, screen, and accessories.\n\nWould a top-notch Dell XPS desktop be a good buy?\n\nBaring in mind I'm not building or buying part seperately.  I am looking in particular for people who have used the XPS 600

I helped a longtime occasional client with the setup of an XPS 600 within the last month - she'd been on Windows 98 about 2 years longer than she should have been, so it was ripe for her to upgrade.  \n\nPhysically, the machine is pretty imposing - it's slightly taller than the standard Optiplex or Dimension tower, and taller than the minitowers you find in most stores (CompUSA, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.) but the extra size does provide a lot of space for internal devices, many of which you can have preinstalled and configured by Dell.  It's also pretty wide - wider than her old tower by 2-3 inches.  \n\nBecause my client wanted several measures of reliability and backup, we had the system preconfigured with a mirrored RAID array (2x250GB HDs), a DVD+/-RW drive for ad hoc backups, and an external harddrive for scheduled backups that can backup the entire drive.  Since she also wanted to be able to do graphics editing in the future, we got the machine with a GeForce 6800 graphics card (leaving open the option to add a second card in SLI configuration at a later date, if needed, though if they'd offered the option earlier, I would have recommended the 7800 GTX) and got a good 5.1 sound card installed as well (hooked up to old speakers, but WTF - it's her money) and 2GB RAM, with room to go up to 4GB if needed.\n\nFor external expansion, it comes with 8 USB 2.0 ports, and 3(?) firewire ports.  6 of the USB ports are in the back, with 2 firewire, while 3 are in front, behind a small panel.  We actually used most of the USB ports while setting up most of her peripherals, but you can always add a USB 2.0 high speed hub if you have that many additional devices.    If you have older keyboards and/or mice you're fond of that are PS/2, the machine does have ports for those as well.   (My client is still using a 10-year old keyboard from her old 486 PC that ran Windows 95.  I think it's Dorian Grey's keyboard, and has a printout of itself aging in a closet somewhere.)  If you have an old parallel printer though, it does NOT have a parallel port, so you'll need a parallel to USB cable or you'll need to order a parallel port card.\n\nFrom a software standpoint, the machine is very nice to use - everything runs very smoothly (in part thanks to the dual core CPU) with the only hiccup being AOL, which was preinstalled, but still has problems even in version 9.0 with playing well with Internet Explorer, since AOL uses the IE kernel for its own browsing component - running the two at the same time caused problems.\n\nAll in old, I'd say this is an excellent PC, competitive with other high end PCs from boutique manufacturers.  Where it falls short is the ability to get Dell on the phone - even with "a separate queue just for XPS users", we were on hold for close to an hour without ever speaking with a representative when trying to find out whether the shipped PC actually matched the original specs fro when the PC was ordered through the website.  Smaller PC vendors, such as Falcon-Northwest, VoodooPC, Monarch, and ABS are much better about being responsive to customers after the sale than Dell was here.  Aside from that, it's an excellent PC.


i know its scary to think of computers running our lives but lets face it is george bush or condelizard rice really the way? if we all just woke up and voted locally nationally and internationally every day we could have a form of true democracy, especailly if we concentrated on the local level and executed the ones who try to fraudulate the new system. i'm not that into computers but i am deeply, seriously afraid where this country is headed! yes i vote everytime

Good luck getting people to vote every day, let alone every 4 years.

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. My baby was born with it and her webpage is www.carepages.com and the carepage name is AllisonPatton.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a term used to describe a group of closely related rare heart defects that are present at birth. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is characterized by the underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the chambers on the left side of the heart (i.e., left atrium and ventricle). In addition, the mitral valve, which connects these chambers to each other, is usually abnormally narrow (stenosis) or closed (atresia) and the aortic valve, which connects the heart to the major vessels that lead from the lungs (ascending aorta), may also be narrow or closed. Infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome also have an abnormally narrow ascending aorta.


I'd just ask him. Or ask him out. If you know he likes you, then you don't have a lot of chance for embarrassment. Your luck's pretty good on this. Or you can do the little move most girls do.... dropping hints and subtly flirting. Most guys, however, don't get it so just be straightforward.


if u are an artist or painter u should get this


I believe so, but I wanted to know if everybody agrees or if there someone who could change my mind... thanks for answering

Christ's teachings came directly from him (Gospels)aswell as other people like Paul (Whom Jesus spoke to after he went to take his place at the right hand side of God. \n\nSo I would have to say no. But you also have to treat things not written in the Bible with a lot of sceptisism.


Who was Mayor Gulianni's campaign manager


According to Whole HealthMD, relatively little is known about the additive with the exception that it has some healthy side effects. \n\n"It appears to shield the heart from harm. It's best known for empowering bile acids to clear cholesterol from the body. It may also fight cellular troublemakers that can damage the heart. Studies in animals suggest that taurine lowers blood pressure as well."\n\nIt sounds like it is beneficial. However, like a lot of supplements, it's hard to judge something that hasn't been fully analyzed.


Lol....I can't tell you the number of people that ask if I wear shoes, listen to country music or if I ever slept with my cousin. Do we Tennesseans have that bad of a reputation? lol

It's not just Tennessee; unfortunately we in Kentucky have a similar, and similarly unjustified, reputation. I think it was a rumor started by Yankee jealous because Southerners can pronounce "r" sounds in the middle of words. (ex: New York vs. New Yawk).\n\nBTW, I've been to Nashville, and I saw many shoes of all types there. :)


I want to find my friend miss Chi Chu. She was come from Taiwan, living in CA now. I just have her telephone number 3695958 and fex number 3965548 I have xall her but still can't contact.She have two daughters.She is about 44 years old.If somebody know her, please tell me. I miss her so much!

The State of California has 26 Area Codes. Namely: 209 213 310 323 408 415 510 530 559 562 619 626 650 661 707 714 760 805 818 831 858 909 916 925 949 951 \n\nIf your friend lives in, say, Chinatown, Los Angeles, her Area Code would likely be 213 (Chinatown, San Francisco would be 415). In this case the phone number you would dial would be 1 (213) 369-5958. \n\nOf course, California is an immense place, with innumerable people. You could try all the Area Codes listed above, unless you have a more specific idea of which city she lives in.\n\nGood Luck!


When i sleep i often hav dream y do we hav dream when sleeping.

Everybody dreams though they may not remember them. There are many schools of thought on the dreaming process. It is believed that they are just random images going through your brain, it is also believed that your dreams hold meanings by analyzing the images. \n Personally I love dreaming and when I go through stages of not remembering them it saddens me as I learn alot of things from my dreams. They also give me ideas that I can use in other ways...


It seems that the term "war" is being applied to such a range of conflicts.  World War I and World War II were more clear.  But the drug war, war on poverty, war on obesity, and the war on terrorism.  Should not Congress declare war?  And shouldn't the conflict with terrorists be a police action?

A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties. \nThe period of such conflict. \nThe techniques and procedures of war; military science. \nIn an active state of conflict or contention.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n[Middle English warre, from Old North French werre, of Germanic origin. See wers- in Indo-European Roots.] \nWord History: The chaos of war is reflected in the semantic history of the word war. War can be traced back to the Indo-European root *wers-, “to confuse, mix up.” In the Germanic family of the Indo-European languages, this root gave rise to several words having to do with confusion or mixture of various kinds. One was the noun *werza-, “confusion,” which in a later form *werra- was borrowed into Old French, probably from Frankish, a largely unrecorded Germanic language that contributed about 200 words to the vocabulary of Old French. From the Germanic stem came both the form werre in Old North French, the form borrowed into English in the 12th century, and guerre (the source of guerrilla) in the rest of the Old French-speaking area. Both forms meant “war.” Meanwhile another form derived from the same Indo-European root had developed into a word denoting a more benign kind of mixture, Old High German wurst, meaning “sausage.” Modern German Wurst was borrowed into English in the 19th century, first by itself (recorded in 1855) and then as part of the word liverwurst (1869), the liver being a translation of German Leber in Leberwurst.


I see people throw around terms like zealot and fanatic, but I'm not sure what in their mind meets that definition.

Easy: someone who love's Jesus more than you. :O)

Halloween is my ultimate favorite. Michael Myers is the bomb!


His accent is definately southern, maybe texan.  So I was just wondering

He's from Pasadena, Tx.  I grew up with him.  He's a really great guy.  The kind of guy who would do anything for you.


Drink soothing liquids like tea with honey and lemon. Take some vitamin c drops. Is this from a cold?


i can't find any info on going about this. i have a college degree and a teaching credential. thanks!

When we were new parents, we were looking all over for someone like you!  There's an organization in our midwest city called CCC which helps to arrange daycare.  I don't know what it stands for.\n\nAlso, run an ad in the paper, and look for ads.\n\nConsider placing a flyer with some of the local churches.  Many professional women looking to go back to work are looking for an in-home daycare worker.


She's so pretty!!! Does anyone like her, what about Brad Pitt???????

her humanitarian work is to be applauded.  she uses her celebrity for really good causes.


They are both beautiful and talented!\nI perfer Jennifer Garner for her comedy and her butt kicking!

I would say Jennifer Garner. There is just something about her that screams "normal". Although, I really don't know much about Natalie Portman. Wasn't she is Garden State with Zach Braff? I love that movie and he is absolutely adorable!! Oops... I got off subject a little didn't I? Anywho, I like Jennifer Garner better.


There is a holistic clinic in Vail Colorado that offers cool therapy laser treatments. How can I find someone in Indiana or Ohio who does the same treatments? I've tried everything I can think of via internet directories, and asked the staff at the Eagle-Vail clinic. I can find training schools and laser sales, but no practitioners. The laser has worked wonders on my injuries and my mother's arthritic shoulders. My mother would like to find a place near her home in either Indiana or Ohio. Anyone, please help!


I want to generate a report which is complitely dynamic. that means then report will show only those records which are saris fying the condition passed from vb6.0 app. Or I want to get some records from the attached table which are satisfying the condition.\nex:\nif i will pass 5000/- as salary from VB App then the report will display only those records whose salary field contains 5000/-. If I will pass "A/C" as dept then the report will display the records of only those employees who are working in A/C dept.\n\nThe answer is very necessary please help me.

First of all you need to design for the specific criteria.\n\nRemember, the windows API follows message passing architecture and you can handle the text change message by double clicking the textbox or creating one method for your own. Now in each textbox change method, try to find all records that match the criteria for a given field ( the same text string), and display ( you might be able to display only one or also program with a next button ), the current record.\n\nBut catching a textchange message is very performance intense thing to do in programming. You may wanna first enter a value in any text, and when a button is clicked you might wanna check for any nonempty textbox and get required recod and display.\n\nHope it helps.


i really would appreciate a real answer .

It is only possible if you pay alot of money to ebay. I'm talking about hundreds of $. It will  sell anyway if you properly list it.


SkyCam, a camera suspended on cables above the playing field, gives us viewers a unique view of the action from an angle that helps us understand the game much better.\n\nMy question is, since the cables and camera appear to be not that far above the action, has it ever interfered with a play? If lets say the camera causes a pass to be deflected and intercepted during the Super Bowl, what will they do? \n\nIn baseball they have the ground rule double for cases like this (playing in domes) what happens in football?

It seems that the skycam operator is instructed to keep the camera behind the ball.  And if it happens they have a replay.  Definitely check out my source.


I have been feeling this way for a year now.  It's the result of a very bad decision that I had made for myself.  One that I can't seem to forgive myself for.

Live with your choice.  That is what life is all about.  If you feel like you need additional time to kick yourself in the butt, do so.  Learn to express your regret, write it if you cannot speak to anyone about it.\nYou do not have to go through this alone.  Pay attention to those around you and you can find help.\nTime will pass.  This is not the end of the world, it just may seem that way now.

im currently using shareaza to download torrents. do u think there is a better client to do that?\n\nthx guys!

There is no critial answer for the word "BEST".\nIn my opinion, it is depends on the user-experienced,\nand the functions user needs.\n\nFor beginner, I guess the best is BitComet which\nis fully functional BT clients\n(such as BT download, create)\n\nFor more experienced user, the Azaureus would be the best\nchoice because user can modify the source code to \nsuit their need.  Also, it is OS independent which\ncan be use in most OS.\n\nHowever, for me, I choose BitSpirit, because it \nprovides a unique ADSL anti-freeze function as I use ADSL\nfor internet connection.  I experienced a connection\nslow down when I start BT from other BT clients.\n\nOther BT programs such as BitTorrent, Bittornado \nprovides different user interface which might be\na choice of other BT user.

A bear is on top of a cliff 200 meters tall. It trips and falls down and hits the ground in 20 seconds. What is the color of the bear?

If it falls down from the top of the cliff to the ground 200 meters below, it'll hit the ground in 6.413696282 seconds if it doesn't strike any object on the way down.  If all it did was to trip and hit the ground still on top of the cliff and took 20 seconds to do so, it probably struggled to remain up (on either 2 or 4 paws) and probably will remain its original color.\n\nHowever, since the bear spent 20 seconds falling a distance that should have taken it < 7 seconds, then it probably fought its way down, bouncing from boulder to boulder, treee to tree, as it fell.  Therefore I expect the bear to be colored some brown (from dirt), some green (from brush), and some red (from torn skin & fur).

Should you tip servers when you get carry out from a restaurant?  For example, picking up from an Applebee's-type place or Chinese restaurant.  How much should you tip?

Tipping is typically related to service, picking up food from a restaurant hardly qualifies as such.\n\nThere is no hard-set rule to tip for carry-out, but it's not customary.\n\nThat said, it's also your preference, if you feel you should or you visit the place often you might want to consider it. I still tip my favorite buritto place as it's a token of appreciation and I know how little they make.. I do tip less than if I ate there.


Ok. This is absolutely retarded. I have a network cable, see? I plug it into my iMac and the internet connection works fine. I take out the cable and plug it into an ethernet card which is connected to a laptop with a fresh install of XP, and the internet connection on the laptop automagically doesn't work. Windows keeps telling me that the network cable is unplugged. This, of course, is total BS, as the cable is in there snugly. I know that the computer recognizes the card (I checked; the drivers are installed), but for some reason, it doesn't detect the cable which is plugged in. Strangely enough, not only does the cable work with the iMac, but it also worked on the same exact laptop with the same exact ethernet card when Ubuntu was installed. \n\nIf anyone could help, I'd be much obliged.

When you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to a hub, switch or router, you use what's called an MDI (straight through) cable.\n\nIn order to connect one computer to another directly, you must use an Ehternet cable with a different pinout called an MDI-X (cross over) cable.\n\nThe reason for this is because your computer is a "terminal" device.  It transmits data on a specific wire and expects to receive data on a specific other wire.  Then you connect it to a "host" device and it expects same thing, but on the opposite wires.\n\nFor more information, see the article on Ehternet on howstuffworks.com\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm


I am so tired of looking at message boards hoping to learn something and finding it filled with disgusting comments from kids and young adults with twisted minds and too much time on there hands, can't these message boards be watched and that kind of statements and comments taken off.

i'm sure it is being watched but there's lots of questions to be dealt with, so some stuff might slip. just ignore the bad stuff and don't let it bother you.\nthere's also a "report abuse" button under each poster's name, so you can try that if you really care that much.


The following is a partial response to a woman who asked basically this same question..why she was having these fantasies...\n\n "Being raped is an experience in which a woman is completely overpowered and totally helpless ‑- the complete opposite of being in control. It sounds like there's a part of you that would occasionally like to be able to lie back, let go, and let somebody else take over. \n\nRape fantasies are also common among women who have sexual shame or inhibitions from their childhood or past relationships. These women often enjoy the rape fantasy because they are not choosing to have sex and therefore are not accountable for any "sins." \n\nFurthermore, the fantasy centers on a man who is so caught up in his passion and desire that he has to take you now. The idea of that level of passion is very exciting for many women."


What would be the major fixed and variable cost items/drivers for a small art gallery? Some might seem obvious, like cost of space but I have no knowledge of some specific, unique items.

I have worked with 5 galleries in the 10 years and find that having something for everyone is important, but also that you find your market and stick with it.\n\nIf you having an artist show up to sign his or hers work, go all out on promoting this person. They will remember you, good or bad.\n\nAnd as with everything, Location, location and location are key to your success.\n\nJerry

I have MS, beem diagnoised 11-2002, I am 56 years old, and have been taking LDN and doing just fine, concedering, so far.

Holy christmas (literally!)... the last poster, be careful.\n\nI was diagnosed in 1999.  I didn't start taking medications until 2004 (had a bit of denial there)...\nI got a flare-up that forced me to think harder about my future (and a great fiance to boot!).\n\nA lot of people go on the interferons, and Glatiramer acetate, which is what I'm on.  When I decided what to go on, I thought about what I'd have to do for it.  I was a bit worried about giving myself a shot, and I figured that I would need to have the least intrusive method of medication delivery... so I decided subcutaneous (just under the skin).  That cut down the list of interferons... \n\nThen I thought about side effects, a lot of the interferons have flu like symptoms.  When I started the meds, I was feeling weak, pins and needly, and limpy.  I said, do I want to have a cold on top of that.  No siree.\n\nI mean, you really have to talk to your NEURO, and what (s)he recommends.  It just so happened that the first NEURO in 1999, recommended Avonex as he was drinking out of an Avonex branded mug (no foolin!).  That is what turned me off from the med idea in the first place.  My SECOND neuro, he asked me my concerns, and we decided on Copaxone.  Yes, it's daily, but it's under the skin, and it just has local reactions for me as a side effect.\n\nI WAS PETRIFIED of giving myself these shots.  Many of the companies (my drugs, included) have autojectors, so you don't even have to see the needle.  Copaxone (or my doctor, I can't remember, it was so long ago!)... required me to have a home care nurse there the first time to show me how to administer the drugs.  I gave it to myself without hesitation the first time!  I am a little wary of someone else doing it (though she had recommended that my fiance learn how, too).\n\nResult?  Well, there's not much to say!  (that's a good thing)... my original symptoms had faded, and I don't know if that was the copaxone or what.  I've been on it since 2/2004 (wow!  going on 2 years soon!), and I have NO NEW LESIONS!  boy, that's more exciting than I thought it was going to be.\n\nNow, your milage WILL vary, and unlike my first time experience, you will LIKELY have to go through a few drugs to find one you like.\n\nGood luck to you!


The sky appears blue because the gases(mainly nitrogen and oxygen) present in our atmosphere vibrate at a specific frequency.  From the light that we can see, ie.. blue, green, red, yellow...etc, the the higher frequency colors are absorbed more by the atmosphere than the lower frequency(actually they're scattered, they still make it to us but indirectly whereas the yellowish color of the sun is more direct).  So blue, green, and violet(violet having the shortest wavelength) are absorbed by the atmosphere, while red, yellow and orange are allowed through.   The color of blue that we perceive the sky varies from day to day based on the content of gases present and the frequency that they vibrate.  It works the same way as light passing through a blue balloon, except in this case the balloon is our atmosphere.


I awas having a debate with my husband over whether or not scientists have cloned an organ. I say they have, he says they have not. I thought, however, with the stem cell research, this was the whole point...to get the stem cells to grow into whatever organ was needed?!\n\nDoes anyone have any answers to clarify this debate?

At this point, it isn't possible to grow organs, but at some point this may be possible. The idea would be to take some cells and "instruct" them, by giving the right amounts of certain molecules, to grow into certain types of cells that would form an organ.\n\nIt will be easier to make replacement cells of a certain type, such as bone marrow, or nerve cells, than to make a whole organ that has many types of cells and a complex architecture. We're still trying to learn all the signals that go into telling cells how to become one type versus another, so there is still a ways to go.\n\nThe stem cell issue comes in because most cells in the adult have already decided what they will be when they grow up, and they can't go back and become anything different. Stem cells haven't decided yet, so they could be "told" what to be, when we know all the instructions. The research is very slow now in the United States, because of limitations from the government, but other countries are pulling ahead nicely (and some of our best scientists are leaving to go to those places).


why i fail every time i try to copy dvd movie although i have a good dvd writer and regesterd software

Commercial DVDs are copy-protected via a copy mechanism known as the Content-scrambling system, or CSS.  Commercial DVD software does not have the ability to copy CSS protected DVDs.


For example, I have been following The Rolling Stones current tour on a couple of sites which post reviews & set lists just after the concerts. I had noticed that one of the postings on Stones Planet had duplicated a\nposting for a Miami concert on 10/17 where it should have been a posting for a Dallas concert on 11/29. I e-mailed the web site and within a half-hour, I received an apology stating the problem had been corrected. Sure enough, when I accessed the site using Internet Explorer, the error had been corrected but when I accessed it using Netscape 7.2, it still had the incorrect posting and remains so nearly 24-hours later. When the tour, currently on break, was posting it's updates after each show, there was almost always a lag of a couple of hours before the same update could be viewed through both browsers. Why should there be any difference at all, once the update has posted, just because a different browser is used?

Because every browser has its own memory of what pages looked like, and its own policies (set by you in the Preferences) for when to use that memory. Go back to rolling stones, (the exact page), hold down the shift key and press F5. This should fix it.


It seems that marijuana has less negative effects than alcohol. Why was marijuana outlawed in the U.S. and not alcohol?

Because alcohol contains only alcohol. The effects upon the brain are well known and documented. Marijuana, on the other hand, has hundreds of chemicals, each possibly interacting with the other(s) in ways not yet researched. For instance, a well-known drug test involves snipping off a bit of your hair. if you smoked pot even six months ago, traces of it remain detectible as part of the hair itself, vs. the kidneys elimination if all traces of alcohol from the body within 48 hours. Also, it is suspected that pot may alter the body's DNA, so long-term chronic effects are still unknown.


Who would want to teach?  The slogan "Teacher is soo rewarding" isn't going to cut it.  It's a job.  Teachers teach to earn a living, to pay a mortgage, to make car payments, etc.\n\nWhy would a highly qualified mathematician want to teach?  Yet that's what we say we want in our public schools.  \n\nWhy would a highly qualified scientist want to teach?  Yet that's what we say we want in our public schools.\n\nWe say we want HIGHLY QUALIFIED teachers in EVERY classroom, but what HIGHLY QUALIFIED person would want to fill the job, when they're so qualified for positions that pay them so much more?\n\nThis is only ONE point, and it is this.  We're not willing to pay for what we want.


a rich man that buys you whatever your heart desires, but does not love you (or) a poor man, yet he works, that pampers, adores and loves you?

the one that adores u. I agree with the young lady's answer money isn't everything and eventually having everything u want won't satisfy your need for companionship. So, it pays to have someone who loves u and cares deeply but with limited means than a loveless marriage that will only make u do two things, cheat, or leave.

I think that would get rid of some of those outlandish questions.  How many more people can ask if they are really in love, or if their question is a weird question, etc?

I agree with you but it may not be practicable.  When you ask a question and you get say five answers you can judge the best answer.  How would you lump and rate say five questions?  Perhaps you could get one point for rating any question as "Good Question" giving the author a point too.  Please suggest that to Yahoo (see bottom of point page that invites suggestions).

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.\nThe Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.\nThe rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc).\nOne suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. How did he figure it out?

The successful suitor simply asked the Princess to walk over to where he stood, and to touch his hand!


Is there a method, or is it simply understanding the type of answer needed and knowing, through study and exposure, which algorithms to try?

I studied serious math for 8 years now, even though I'm only a high school student. I even competed in IMO and have won a medal, yet I cannot give you the best algorithm to solve a problem. To solve a problem, you need experience. To reach the international level, you need to solve millions of problems(literally!). Only practice will give you the ability to solve any problems easily.

if you want to convert image filetypes, you can use macromedia fireworks and do them by batch instead of opening one file at a time, just in case you need to convert a lot of images.

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance.  So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room.  A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5.  He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in.  The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends.  He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day!  Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night.  We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent.  Where did the other dollar go????

The $2 should be subtracted from the $27, not added to it -- since they were overcharged by $5, the room actually cost $25.\n\nThey ending up paying $27, $25 for the room and $2 to the bellhop. That $27 plus the $3 refund is the original $30

I am trying to figure out which birthcontrol would be the best contraceptive to use other than condoms because condoms really take alot of pleasure out of sex.  We were planting on using  the pull-out method no matter which other we choose, but whats  agood idea to go with??

There are a lot of options these days- cervical cap, diaphragm, sponge, birth control pill, IUD, female condom, Depo-Provera, inplant, Ortho Evra, an NuvaRing.  It would be best to talk to your doctor about which choice is right for you and your body.  I would not recommend withdrawl as it has a very high rate of failure, and is like not using anything at all.
