Did you have any 'side effects' from these diets, like feeling faint, or getting head rushes, or anything else?

My wife lost almost 100 pounds on Atkins.  The first 3 weeks were tough, but then she had an easier time.  If you go on Atkins, buy the book and follow Dr. Atkins advice to the letter.  It's not a cheap diet.  It's very dangerous if you don't take all the proper vitamins, etc.  She lost 30 to 40 pounds in the first couple of months.  It was amazing.  I feel like the luckiest man in the world - I have a new, more beautiful, happier, healthier wife.


Im programming a basic application (OpenGl to be exact) and when i compile (im using bloodshed) i get (almost 20) errors saying 'linker error: undefined reference to _____' any help.. how do i fix this, do i have to fix the #include? or define specific variables?\nthanks\ndan

A linker error means that you have the correct header files included (so your #include's are fine), but you're not linking to the correct libraries (usually .lib files).  You need to find the libraries (usually in a lib folder near the include files) and tell the linker to use them.


I would love to work in VC.  Anyone out there have any advice for me on how to break into this field ?

my husband was telling me he read an article in our local paper about a drug bust, he said a name of a drug that i have never heard on tv or anywhere before, and i was wondering if any of you have heard of it , and what it does, (or if it is a slang term for something...) its called Cathenon ( dont know if the spelling is right or not, ) If its something new is it just new around here, or a new drug in gernaral, Just wondering,  I guess you learn something new everyday

Cathinone is a psychoactive alkaloid found in the leaves of the khat plant. It is a natural amphetamine and was discovered some fifteen years ago in the leaves of the khat bush. This plant grows in East Africa and in southern Arabia.


I don't want to take any pills or anything.  I want it all natural.

In a Condorcet election with 3 candidates (A, B, C), it is mathematically possible that A wins the race between A and B, B wins the race between B and C, and C wins the race between C and A.  In short, A>B>C>A.  What causes this paradox?  I know how the math works, but what kinds of realistic scenarios could produce this kind of result?  Is it normally caused by a group of voters being "wrong", i.e. using rankings that don't make sense, or can this situation arise even if all the voters make carefully reasoned decisions, and all the voters are completely familiar with all the candidates?  If so, can you give an example?

It relates to humans not being rational - one of the axioms of rationality is that preference is transitive - that is, if I like A better than B, and B better than C, then I must like A better than C.\n\nUnfortunately, in studies, humans often create circular rankings like the one you describe when asked to make each judgment independently - particularly when they don't think about any given judgement in depth.\n\nMore information should be available by researching "decision making" and "reasoning", depending on the timescale of the judgments - decision making pertains to snap decisions, whereas reasoning tends to involve choices with multiple seconds or minutes of thought.

GIS is an amazing tool for almost anything.  In my opinion you could use GIS for your application of utility lines by determining population, useage of the utility in an area, the economy of the area, and other factors that are important to your field.  GIS then can map these data sets and help you determine where they are needed, where you can cut back and what changes can be made to make better use of utilities.

This is not an attack on any religion at all, it's just a question. Do you believe the Bible is the divine word of God and is timeless? Or do you believe it to be simply a guide for living, not to be taken literally, and is so ancient that it has lost credibility to the current times?

Not only was it written thousands of years ago and changed many times, the first writings of the gospel were put down many years after Christ's death...which explains why they don't agree. More importantly, the religion of Christianity was created by Paul, who never met Jesus. He created it out of the popular practice of the time: sacrifice. Jesus is seen as the ultimate sacrifice offered to God, which frees everyone from sin. Basically a BIG version of sacrificing a goat to god for a good harvest. Jesus had nothing to do with the creating of the religion. As always, it's just a bunch of guys trying to get people to do what they want. Religion is simply the mystical version of politics.

how can i delete my browser?....it is when you search for something and you type in the words .then after you close your internet and open it again  and put your mouse over and click the blank space where you type in the word the words that you typed before or the words you typed in the pastwill appear again. what could i do so that when i log in yahoo i dont see the words again?????? please help me

Well, that depends upon which browser you are using.  The two most popular are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, so I will give explanations for how to clear past search information in both.\n\nIn Internet Explorer, you must click on the "Tools" option at the top of the browser (between "Favorites" and "Help").  A menu will appear.  Click on the "Content" tab at the top of this menu.  In this tab, you will see, under the Personal Information section, a button that says "AutoComplete".  Click on it and uncheck the "Forms" box.  If you want to get rid of AutoComplete for web addresses and user name and password forms, uncheck those too.  You may also want to clear saved data.  You can do that on that menu as well.\n\nFor Firefox, click the Tools option as above (except this time it is between "Bookmarks" and "Help" instead of "Favorites" and "Help").  Go to "Options".  A menu will appear as above.  Then click on the "privacy" button.  After that, click on the "Saved Forms" tab.  Uncheck the "Save information I enter in forms and the Search bar" box and clear saved forms data.

How can someone best help someone who is bi-polar (manic-depressive) and who may be a significant other, friend, relative, colleague, etc.?

Understand it as well as possible and then be supportive of treatments. This FAQ's might help you.\n\n1. What is bipolar disorder? \n\nBipolar disorder is a common, recurrent, severe psychiatric illness that affects an individual's mood, behavior and ability to think clearly. It occurs in 1% to 2% of the population in the United States. A variant, called bipolar II disorder, is probably even more common and occurs in up to 3% of the general population in this country. \n\n2. What are the differences between bipolar I and bipolar II disorders? \n\nBipolar I disorder is characterized by episodes of mania that alternate with periods of depression or periods in which individuals have simultaneously occurring manic and depressive symptoms called mixed states. In contrast, bipolar II disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and milder symptoms of mania, called hypomania. Hypomanic episodes typically do not impair an individual's ability to function to the extent that full-blown manic episodes do additionally; hypomanic episodes are not complicated by psychotic symptoms. \n\n3. What is rapid cycling? \n\nThe term rapid cycling was originally coined by David Dunner, M.D., and Ron Fieve, M.D., in the 1970s when they identified a group of individuals who did not respond well to lithium. These patients typically had four or more episodes of mania or depression in the 12-month interval prior to lithium treatment. This definition has been adopted formally by DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed.) and specifically means the occurrence of four or more mood episodes within the preceding year. In severe cases, rapid cycling can occur even within a one-day period. \n\n4. At what age does bipolar disorder appear? \n\nBipolar disorder most commonly presents in the late teens and early 20s. Unfortunately, for most individuals, lifelong treatment may be required to prevent recurrent manic and depressive episodes. Equally unfortunate is evidence that the illness often goes undiagnosed and untreated for many years; the longer the illness progresses without treatment, the greater the impairment in an individual's psychological, educational and vocational development. Additionally, untreated bipolar disorder carries a high risk of suicide. \n\n5. Is bipolar disorder genetic? \n\nBipolar disorder, among all psychiatric illnesses, may have the greatest genetic contribution. For instance, if an individual has a parent with bipolar disorder, the chance that the individual's child will have bipolar disorder is about nine-fold greater than in the general population, with the risk rising from about 1% to about 10%. The inheritability of this illness is estimated to be anywhere from 50% to 80%. On the other hand, if a person with bipolar disorder is thinking about having children, there are still good odds that the child will not have bipolar illness. So the genetic determinants of the illness are complicated. \n\n6. How is bipolar disorder treated? \n\nThe cornerstone of treatment is medications that treat acute manic, depressive or mixed episodes, and which, in the long run, attempt to prevent the recurrence of these episodes. Such medications include lithium, divalproex (Depakote) and, more recently, some of the atypical antipsychotics as well as antidepressants. \n\nPsychotherapy plays an important role in improving the course and outcome of this illness in people. In particular, those with bipolar disorder often have strained relationships with loved ones because of their experiences during manic or depressive episodes; psychotherapy can help repair these torn relationships. In addition, psychotherapy can educate people about the signs and symptoms of their illness, how to pay attention to warning signs and how to nip emerging episodes in the bud. Psychotherapy can also help individuals cope with the stress that can sometimes precipitate manic or depressive episodes. \n\n7. What med

could such a virus/trojan horse make it look like you had done things on your computer when in fact you had not? a relationship depends on the answer to this question

I found this on CERT; it's possible that the Melissa virus could have made it look like you did something but it was actually the virus.\n\n\nCERT® Advisory CA-1999-04 Melissa Macro Virus\nOriginal issue date: March 27, 1999\nLast revised: March 31, 1999\n\nA complete revision history is at the end of this file. \n\nSystems Affected\nMachines with Microsoft Word 97 or Word 2000 \nAny mail handling system could experience performance problems or a denial of service as a result of the propagation of this macro virus. \nOverview\nAt approximately 2:00 PM GMT-5 on Friday March 26 1999 we began receiving reports of a Microsoft Word 97 and Word 2000 macro virus which is propagating via email attachments. The number and variety of reports we have received indicate that this is a widespread attack affecting a variety of sites. \n\nOur analysis of this macro virus indicates that human action (in the form of a user opening an infected Word document) is required for this virus to propagate. It is possible that under some mailer configurations, a user might automatically open an infected document received in the form of an email attachment. This macro virus is not known to exploit any new vulnerabilities. While the primary transport mechanism of this virus is via email, any way of transferring files can also propagate the virus. \n\n. . .\n\nUpon execution, the virus first lowers the macro security settings to permit all macros to run when documents are opened in the future. Therefore, the user will not be notified when the virus is executed in the future.

It just seems odd that humans keep moving forward scientifically, but we can't seem to move forward in our thinking otherwise.  Does it not seem odd to anyone else that so many millions of humans are living (at least claiming to live) by rules written in an entirely different stage of human development?  I mean really- according to the Bible, the earth came into existence 6,000 years AFTER we know for a fact that Sumerians were brewing beer.  Things just don't add up.  Reason, people.  Reason.

It is suitable for medium and large corporation.\n\nOracle applications is designed to be used out-of-the-box. However, to configure, install and customize any single software within Oracle financial suite usually takes months of work involving multiple people. This is called implementation stage of the software. People usually hire consulting firms to do this job.\n\nThe best resource to read about it is from the Oracle web site.

When we were dating and after we got married she couldnt keep her hands out of my pants, and now she only want sex maybe once a week, if I beg.We talked about it and she said it could be she is tired, but she don't work more hours are do anything difference than before, and we dont have any children. I feel like she is hiding something from me.

Hun, i know what you are going through, I have been there done that and get this, i am not even married....my fiancee and i have been living together for almost a year now, engaged for almost 2 and yes, the sex drive has gone from 100 to 0...for him, not for me, it's still strong as ever. when i asked he always told me he was tired or just wanted to cuddle or something like that, so yeah, i know how you feel. i am sad to report however that he was hiding something from me....his addiction to porn....he'd rather look at pics and vids than be with me...pretty low huh? well anyways, we are still together and trying to work through the issues and yes things are looking up....so just hang in there and hopefully things will start to get better!


I read the definition in a college course years ago.  The movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" uses this word as a name for Michael Cain's Psychiatrist character.  I am trying to figure out what the joke is in the name.

Schauffhausen literally means “House of abolishing.”  Not a bad name for a psychiatrist scoundrel.  The name is mostly associated with the northern most area of Switzerland. Schaffhausen is located in a finger of Swiss territory surrounded on three sides by Germany.  US pilots during WWII remarked that it looked like the Swiss were gesturing to the Germans.

"Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898 after the pepsin and cola nuts used in the recipe.

Ohio State has AJ Hawk, Anthony Schlegel, and Bobby Carpenter as their LBs.

I had a traumatising childhood with an alcoholic father, therefor I'm not sure if I'm right on this one, or I'm just being afraid. Fact is that my husmand loves to drink, on any ocasion, when he comes home from work, when we go visit someone. In fact that's why we go visiting people, because they have to drink-guys I mean-. We argue a lot about this, but he sais that he is embaressed not to drink when all his friends do, like he is not man enough. He actually hit me once when he was drunk, for no good reason. So, is it me, is it him or it's both of us? Please help me because I'm lost and I don't know how to deal with this anymore!

There is a lot of controversy about the MTA strike in NYC. Is it the strike illegal? Should the strikers be indivually fined for walking off the job? Should they all be fired?

The strike is illegal under New York's Taylor Law.  "Under the law, public employees are prohibited from striking and penalties for violation are levied against the union and employees involved."  I've included a link to the judge's injunction that explains why the strike is illegal, along with a brief explanation of the Taylor Law and a link to the text of the law.

Jesus used to be a carpenter before he made it big in the mesiah business. Some consider this due to the high competition- low yield dynamics of carpentry. Some say that his heart was not in it, secretly he wanted (or knew himself) to be the son of god, creator of the universe. \n\nThen, of course some claim that he was just a bad carpenter. Again some that claimed he was ahead of his time: he made the first ottoman, which was not received well due to its anachronological nature. He is also said to be the creator of the first la-z-boy prototype in existence, along with church pew. Could these have contributed to his sudden change of heart?\n\nSo the question remains: was he a bad carpenter, or even though he was good, just around his 30s he realized that his career lies in the field of being the son of God, the creator of all existence, and crucified for our sins?

Didn't you know? He was the creator of first self-assembly furniture. \nDoes that make him good or bad I don't know, will give this another thought while I'm trying to assemble a bookcase I carried all the way from the store.

1.I live in Trenton, NJ does that matter what kind of license to obtain as a painter?\n2. How many license are there for painters that want to be license?\n3. Are there permits I need or cerfication to run a sucessful painting company?.

Well, Im a painting contractor.  I am licensed.  It does matter what kind of license you get.  You dont need a permit, but you need a license.  I am a master at booking work.  I learned soo fast.  But, you know what?  My license helped me when my business was crippled.  I was involved in a motorcycle accident and I couldnt do much.  Then, I quickly got my license and I started getting work.  You have to fill out for a "Home Improvement" License.  Dont get the ones that say that you are a painter.  Its like a certificate that shows that you know how to paint.  Those come from city hall, and costs like 5 buxx.  You need to pay like 200-300 depending on the size of your company.  Email me for the rest because it will help you with work.  I dont want to disclose important secrets on here.  Fudope_7@yahoo.com.  Just rate me a perfect 5 stars before you email me....


How do I get better at remembering them in 5 minutes?\nHow do I get better at remembering them in 5 months?\n\nThanks!!

Most cellphones these days have a Memo function.  I am assuming you have a cellphone.  The Memo function is really handy for this and other occasions.  Your phone may even have a Voice Memo function or at the least a text function.


are we on earth in any danger from a comet, or meteorit or other opttchect tha will fall from the sky

According to Revelation in the Bible, an angel will throw something like a mountain into the sea.  That could very well be a comet or meteorite. \nThat would happen before the return of Jesus Christ when the earth really starts to have trouble according to Revelation.

Im talking about love and relatenships....men wanting that blonde bombshell when the right one might be Ms. Average person

The short answer to me is that men are bred to be competitive. Boys grow into being men by being introduced by older boys or men what is pretty or cute. So often, grown-up boys go for the wrong person instead of listening to their heart. \n\nMy story is that I got scared of being happy. \n\nThanks for playing "I hope I got this rite" (jk!)


About the octopus thing... I just want to know if I see one while I'm in the water, if I should be scared or what. About the snake bite, I am curious because you see all the movies tell you not to panic and that you can put a turnicate on and suck the poison out of the area. Wouldn't you just injest it any way? It doesn't make scense to put it in your mouth if it is going to kill you in your leg.

Of course it can.  Most likely it will shy away from you, but it IS possible.\n\nAs far as sucking venom, it appears that treatment has fallen out of favor, but not because it harms the "sucker" but because it increases trauma in the wound area.\n\nInterestingly, from the FDA site below, it says sucking has fallen out of favor, but the CDC site below says it's OK!  It also says that venom can be ingested orally with no ill effects.\n\nCDC: Do suck and squeeze - as much venom as possible directly from the wound. Venom is protein and can be taken orally with no ill effects.


seems most conservatives are only interested in conserving a wasteful greedy life-style...

If you are talking about conserving energy - this will not solve the energy problem. It's only part of the solution. What really solves the problem is drilling and refining our own sources of energy off of our coasts and in ANWR - but that won't happen because tree hugging pus*y liberals like yourself would rather block domestic energy production and then whine about gas prices being too high. That's why there hasn't been an oil refinery built in this country for over 30 years. That's why they have brownouts in California. All because of the environmental movement and their hatred of Capitalism. Raising the supply of energy is a sure fire way to make sure we never run out.\n\nThis is true of ANY commodity. Let's take Coca Cola for example. The reason a 12oz can of Coke only costs 75 cents from a vending machine is because that is the price that the market will bear. Now, close every Coca-Cola bottling plant in the country except one and keep the same amount of vending machines - what do you think would happen to the price? It would skyrocket because there wouldn't be enough Coke to fill the vending machine demand.\n\nOn the other hand, if you openend up Coca-Cola bottling plants on every steet corner in America - there would be so much Coke available that the price would plummet because they would have more Coca-Cola than vending machines to dispense them.\n\nThe same would be true whether you are talking about energy, Coca-Cola, steel, guns, butter or newspapers.\n\nInstead of spouting off from your a$$, maybe you should learn some Economic facts first.


I read the quote in a Peanuts strip, and I can't remember both: who really said it and who said it in the strip. Can you remember either?

It's  From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.\nThe full quote is\n\n"How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." \n\nIt's a story about a family dealing with the accidental death of the father.  See my source link to read more.\n\n(One interpretation:  Once you grow up and have your own life, even if you physically return to your childhood house, you can't return to that place of innocence and safety -- it's never "home" as it once was because you are a different person.)


I work a 12-hour shift three days a week.  With eating, sleeping, etc., I don't have much time to workout on those days.  Should I skip the workout all together or do something quick?  If so, do you eat before working out? What is the best workout schedule for the rest of the week (as far as what days to do cardio, weight training).

You definitely shouldn't skip the workout because you will feel better and be healthier if you don't.\nI am an aerobics instructor and I know from seeing many different people come and go that the best work out is one that works for your life no matter how crazy it may seem.  So, find what works for you as far as when to do what.  Just remember that if weight-loss is your goal, you don't want to skimp on the weight training because the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn.  I have also recently read that it is just as effective to workout three times a day for ten minutes at a time as it is to workout one time for thirty minutes.  In fact doing the 3 time a day thing tends to jumpstart one's metabolism.  \n     Also, I always eat before working out so that I will have energy!  Just don't eat anything too big or too heavy.  I tend to eat a bowl of cereal,small peanut butter sandwich or a granola bar if I'm on the go.


I really don't feel like myself at all. Everytime i so much as mention that i may be clinically depressed, my family mocks me. i seriously feel like somethings wrong with me and i dont wanna be like this anymore. i dont know. i guess what i'm asking is, should i really be this concerned or not? i'm too young to be this stressed out. and i'm thinking this is the cause for my "menstrual" problem. help please?!

Menstrual problem? Come on, too young to be stressed out? Never to young take my word on that one. Unfortunately I know from experience. You say you are young and that your family mocks you when you mention it, have you talked with any professionals..\nIf you don't feel good yes be concerned, it is your life and you have every right to feel good. I am uncertain of your age, how about a guidance counselor at school, pastor at church, for starters. Family doctor.... Medicine may not be the best choice, maybe just a few talk sessions to sort out issues that you may be facing. You need to start somewhere and the sooner you start the sooner you will feel like you want to. Family can be hard to deal with at times like this.... bet you here things like " what have you got to be upset about" \n"you have everything going for you" sound familiar at all.... doesn't matter. Talk with someone, if you don't feel right then it is up to you to make certain that you do.... Good Luck and I will stay with you in thought


If possible, please give me multiple sources.

http://www.businessweek.com/tocs/bschools.htm\n\nPrinceton Review also ranks them.\n\nNote, these aren't "worldwide" lists, as far as I know.\n\n\nhttp://www.bschool.com/best_b-schools.html includes international.


I was diagnosed with a non-verbal LD about a week ago.  I'm a 17 year old teen, who goes to a boarding school 800 miles away from home, with NO special treatment at all.  I'm semi-afraid to tell teachers because I don't want to be labeled by them.  At the same time, I can't stand doing over 7 hours of homework some nights, and getting only 3 hours of sleep.

The most important thing to know is that you made it to 17 without this knowledge and without special support. Think what you can accomplish with the support and assistance you deserve. Most psychologists/psychiatrists who can accurately diagnose this kind of learning disability would also communicate with the parents, the counselors, and the teachers about the modifications necessary for you to learn most effectively. Are you sure that yours is not going to do this?


When you save and erase files, one of the objectives of the software that manages your disk is to use as much of contiguous available space as possible.  This means that when you erase a file, the space occupied by that file is available for future saves.  Over time the disk begins to have lots of little open spaces since every file you save (or delete) has different sizes. The next time you do a save, starting at the beginning of the disk, the disk manager begins to fill the little open spaces with fragments of the file you're saving.   This means that, while the disk is efficiently used, from a space perspective, any given file is a collection of fragments spread all over the disk.  The disk manager has to maintain a file of the all the locations of the fragments each saved file is made up of.   This takes up a lot of time and additional space.  When you open the file, the disk manager has to collect and assemble all the pieces of the file.  This takes even more time and processor cycles, relatively speaking.  So you may in fact see your computer running slower and slower as fragmentation becomes more and more severe.\n\nDefragmentation software does exactly that.  Starting at the beginning of the disk, it opens each successive file, collecting all their fragments, and writing the entire file out to a block of open space sufficiently large to contain the entire file in one contiguous block of space.  Then all the spaces used by that file are available for rewriting other defragmented files.  This continues until all files are re-combined.  Then the defragmentation software begins to re-organize the now defragmented files in some predetermined way;  typically opertaing system files are located at the beginning of the disk to take advantage of the fact that the read-write heads of the disk are generally parked at the beginning of the disk so the read time is minimized when you turn you computer on.  Also because OS-related files aren't normally modified and re-written by users.  Next the Defrag software starts to store Application software, also since those files are also not typically opened, modified and saved by the user.  Last the defrag mgr will save your files....photos, songs, word processing files and spreadsheets, etc.  Files that you are more likely to open, modify and re-save.


I don't know if this is exactly how the quote goes, but I think it's pretty close.

Perhaps you are thinking of this quote:\n\n"Massacre, torture, and black despair; / Reading it all in my easy-chair."\n\nThat quotation is from the poem "Theology in Extremis" by Sir Alfred Comyn Lyall (1835-1911).  The poem was first published in 1889.  Hope this helps. :-)


I have this guy I am into and we had been talking a couple months. Now he has not answered two phone calls and any of my emails. He had been sick but now it is crazy. I emailed him and asked him how he felt about me and he never responded and I feel as a human being, I deserve to know why it is that you are not talking to me all of a sudden. How can I find this out and How can I at least get him to acknowledge my question? I mean it will not bother me if he does not want a realationship but why is he acting shady? And if you have read my other question along with this one- that was my reasoning on it. Please advise.

try and see him, so that he can explain his actions to you. well most of the time, this kind of action means that he does not want the relationship again. since losing the relationship means nothing to you, call it off and allow him stew in his juice. if he does not want to be a part of your life dont force him, you can live your life wonderfully without him. cheers.


It's causing me problems, like being unable to talk to my boyfriend. I've been pretty much abused my whole life. And I just can't deal with it anymore? Is there anyway to make the pain stop

Have you tried counselling? It might seem quite daunting first of all, but it sounds like talking to someone impartial could help. The pain will stop when you learn to recognise that you have been through a ordeal and you need to accept some form of help. It's good that you are in another relationship; if your boyfriend is supportive and understands that you need time to get over what has happened.\n If you find yourself becoming anxious or upset, you could try Bach Flower Remedies (the Rescue Remedy is good), they help relieve a lot of ailments, such as insomnia etc. Most of all, recognising that there is a problem is half way to solving it. Talk to people that you trust and can confide in; and if things don't get easier, seriously consider counselling as a means to get over things. Good luck!!


If so, then why do we kill every bug that enters our homes?

Tough call, even if the question was about all humans not just all living things.\nZen monks would place rings on their staffs in order than they could jangle and allow small lifeforms to get out of their way so as not to be stepped on.\nTheir are no rings small enough to warn microbes and I am not sure that we should avoid killing some bacteria what might spoil our food or make our children sick.  (Do you wash your hands?)\nAnd what about those things which are not exactly alive?  Like viruses?\nWe do not kill every bug which enters our homes.  Some people are fanatical about this and others live with spiders and ants crawling all over the place.  Most of us would kill lifeforms we believe to be a threat to us or our families.  Some might even capture and release some species (including mice and larger lifeforms).\nSome things to consider include:  Are you affected by commercials which try to make you believe that you need to give someone money to buy a product which will kill some lifeforms to make you healthier or happier?  What happens to the lifeforms that become resistant?  Do you really want polio and smallpox living among humans?  How about 'skeeter and the west Nile virus?  or Maleria?\nLife is not simple.  Not for bugs.  Not for humans.\nAt least humans can think about what they are doing before they make a choice.

I heard it said that we cause reaction for every thing we put in motion. From brushing our hair, to picking our nose. No, not the obvious reaction (ie softer hair, or a cleaner nose) but there is some type of snowball energy effect that moves through time and space.\nAny takers?

yes there is a reaction. If you are standing completely still and you are pushed the reaction is you move relative to the force applied and the resistance force of friction and inertia which varies depending on your mass.


Why should marijuana be illegal when alcohol and cigarettes are legal?

Simply put, there is too much of it in the United States to keep track of, and if the government cannot track it, they cannot TAX it.


Additional question:\n\nIs a internet boardband that has 1024Kps download speed, must has 256Kbps upload speed?

Putting a few test links below.\n\nTo answer the additional question, no. The upload speed is not correlated to the download speed. Your ISP can set both values to whatever it wants within the limit allowed by your physical connection.


I heard that it's bad to have more than 2-3 credit cards as it will negatively affect your credit score. Is this true?

According to Wikipedia:\n\n* 35% punctuality of payment in the past\n* 30% capacity used, i.e., ratio of current revolving debt (e.g. credit card balances) to total available revolving credit (e.g. credit limits)\n* 15% length of credit history\n* 10% types of credit used (installment, revolving, consumer finance)\n* 10% recent search for credit and/or amount of credit obtained recently\n\nActually the more credit cards you have, (and keep up to date on payments) the better for your credit score. You should never be over 75% of Credit Limit, to increase your credit score.

Just a question that came up tonight when I was watching the new War of the Worlds with some people.  And I guess my question applies to monsters too.  AND I mean win against humans, not other aliens or monsters.

The modern American alien/monster movie was born in what many film history textbooks refer to as the "Return to Myth" era, which many believe continues today. It is defined by the "quinesential battle of good versus evil"...which I personally find tired and is merely used as an excuse to go back on all of the insights provided to us by Mr. Shakespere (I say this, because all of these monsters are really just abstract representations of human/societal characteristics). The bottom line is that, as long as the alien invaders represent a mennace to our society *ahem*, then they will always be defeated by the purity and justice of our American resistence. Yes...it's just the Cold War that won't go away, venting itself out in entertainment. We'll get over it someday, and the monsters might start winning again. (King Kong...almost. At least he got the girl.)\n\nGood versus evil aside...E.T.?


for new years i want to go pop some fireworks

Start here with state laws  http://www.fireworksafety.com/laws.htm\n\nclick on your state.


I mean, seriously, most people break them within the first month anyway so what's really the point? I've always thought that they just serve as a depressing reminder of not being able to do something in particular...like quit smoking, etc. Your thoughts?

they're dillusional and think they might actually do it this year...


This guy keeps bothering my friend to get her to go out with him even tho she says she doesn't want a relationship with anyone @ the moment...I mean she just broke up with her boyfriend a few days ago & her ex is still bothering her...I even got him to leave her alone for a few hours by pretending to be her (online) but he's back @ it...It's even starting to annoy me...He just won't leave her alone & claims to love her but he barely knows her...Please help get this guy off of my friends back....he's constricting & they're not even together...

omg that's like an obssesive stalker type i think that u should get ur friend a 'pretend' boyfriend and see if that works and if they ask who it is make up a name and if they wanna meet'em then get a friend or one uv UR family members they don't know and use them if that don't work then just tell somebody cause when a guy wouldn't stop askin me out i told my older bro and he scared the crap outta him cause he has way huge muscels after servin in Afghanistan so just get somebody 2 scare him like a protective family member or her dad cause some dad's don't like it whenever guys ask their daughter out or bother them


I see there is a new movie coming out that plot line looks like it's about mocking "developmentally challenged" people.  At first I was disgusted, the common reaction, and then I asked myself, are "challanged" folks aware of being mocked/do their feelings get hurt?  If they do, this movie is an abberation

It does not matter whether they can understand or not. It is hurting the person doing the teasing. It's very bad for the soul because you set yourself above the target. This is a form of pride. When you were first disgusted with the film, that was your conscience talking. When you started to compromise the "voice" inside, it stopped. This is what the Bible terms "searing your conscience with a hot iron". Not to that extreme, but more and more steps will make that "voice" inside you grow dim.


instead of just grapping and moaning about it, you have to fight the "system" from the inside!

Well we kinda do every November.  It's called an election and that's how we decided to structure our electoral process.  There are mechanisms to impeach members of the administration but you'd need to do it in the order of succession.  At this point, it would take too long to get this administration out.  Remember how long the Clinton impeachment took?\n\nPeople here seem to forget that there were actual criminal proceedings against the Clintons.  Bush really hasnt done anything that's illegal.  You might not like his foreign policy, but that dislike probably doesn't extend too far beyond Iraq since that's ALL that's covered by the mainstream media.\n\nHow about what the Bush administration did for the Pakistan refugees after the earthquake?  The approval ratings of Americans skyrocketed after that.

Those cars are not stock. They are custom made racing cars covered by a body shell that makes them look a little like a stock car. Do the stupid rednecks believe they are stock? The NHRA would call those cars funny cars. Do they have any rules that stipulate what parts of the car have to be from a production car.

Back in the early days of NASCAR, they actually did race stock cars... That is, cars you could buy right off the showroom floor, with very few modifications for performance or safety.\n\nOver the years, as cars got bigger and engines more powerful, there were more accidents, and more drivers injured or killed. NASCAR started changing the rules to make the cars safer and more competative.  First, they required seat belts and roll bars, then full roll cages. They went from gas tanks to fuel cells. They restricted the horsepower of the engines and made other modifications to make the cars stronger and safer. \n\nOver the last 50 years, the race cars have evolved into what you see today... A completely hand-built racing machine that somewhat resembles a factory production car.  \n\nYou can find more information on the cars and the history behind them on the NASCAR web site.


ex girlfriend says i love u to my boyfriend

They usually act nice towards you because they don't want you to kow that they are cheating.  They also ask you if you've been cheating because subconciously, they are preoccupied with the thought of cheating.<---Just my personal opinion.


had open heart surgery and patient cut chest open to get all sternum wires out what do you do with this person to get them help if any is available

I would recommend a psych evaluation - s/he may be depressed, or maybe the trauma made the person react in this way when s/he normally would not.  either way, it doesn't sound safe, so someone professional should talk to him/her and find out how to keep the person safe until things improve!

I recommend pre-emptive tympanic maintenance on the dielective protobolster. Then you should be able to make the hymolicaduflop pajiburate, or (barring that) reossify the maddian luicer to pajiburate with the dubiator until you can get the whole thing fixed.


there was a girl that i was talking to in august. I messed things up by pushing for a relationship b/c i didn't want to fall for her and she not do the same for me. so i pused her away. Now we are freinds again and she spends more time with me then her current bf. 3 weeks i told her that i was falling for her. we both liked each other in aug and the attraction i would say is still there. I've said in front of her and freinds that i'm done with going out and getting wasted i want to settle down. well the last 2 sundays she's come over and the first one she cleaned in the morning and cooked me dinner last night i cooked and we watched a movie and she stayed the night. the previous night she asked about moving in with me. What should i do. I really do think i love this girl but she is very very confussed at what she wants in life. could she be scared that i want a serious relationship and she can't handle one, should i move on? I can't say this stuff again b/c i enjoy spending time w/her.

well if in the five months that this has been going on it seems that you havent spent to much time with her and all of a sudden she wants to move in and has a boyfriend. RED FLAG, if you like chaos then go ahead.


My old passport was taken in the Philippines and will expire on August 30,2007 yet. I got my new passport in New York Philippine Embassy and will expire on 2010 yet....

Since it has been issued, probably not. You should check with the Embassy though. If you cannot cancel it, you should probably destroy your old passport.


As an IT professional with programming experience and hardware/software support how can I make additional money from working at home providing programming in PHP/C# or supporting clients with hardware or software? What success stories can anyone offer? What are the first few steps needed?

Freelancing can be a tough affair. Your best bet is professional networking to find jobs. In the open contractor market you will likely be undercut and underbid at every turn. \n\nI use a professional networking site called "linkedin.com" to help me identify prospects or for people to find me. \n\nGoogle Adwords have also been very helpful for me, but you really need to be dedicated to make that a real option.\n\nCraigslist also has potential in the help wanted areas.\n\nYou can also look at the various contractor for hire websites out there, but beware, competition is fierce, sometimes with PHP coders going for $5/hour from overseas competition.


how  much it  is  safer  to  use  a  condom  during  sex to  avoid  STD  ?

Safe sex is a goal. Not a reality.  No method is 100 percent sure in preventing STD or pregnancy.  Abstinance is not safe sex because it is not sex.


I always wondered if Oprah would run for president if she would have enough of a following to win... So many people hang off her every word that I sometimes think she could be the first Black, Woman president. Would she even be taken seriously?

I seriously hope she couldn't. People NEED to have experience working in politics before they should be allowed to run for president. At the very least, she should have to work her way up. Then, I believe she would have a very good chance.


How can I get around blocked websites on my school's comp. They use sonic firewall.

Your best bet is to access those sites elsewhere, and just not access them at school.  They may be blocking the sites because of liability reasons, meaning if you were to access the sites, they could get sued for allowing you to, not to mention you may get in way more trouble than you really are barganing for.


any1 know anything about that .. please help me

Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time.  Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world.   Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people)  I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted.  There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.  I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)


my hair is straight and i use bedhead but my friend wants to know what kind of shampoo to use.So what should she use to change her hair from curly ro straight?

It really doesn't matter what shampoo you use, it matters what you do after you're done shampooing it.  Just blowdry it with a round brush and apply some shine gel.  You may want to watch someone do it at the salon before giving it a shot yourself--it takes practice and a good blowdryer (or straightening iron).


The car is a 1965 chevelle, I agreed in the divorce to store the car for four years, until 2010, if he has not replaced the door ect. I can then sell the car. He has to replace my garage door, $3,000.00.Pay me $100.00 dollars a week for 2 years, alimony, and pay his medical bills $900.00. He is $1500.00 behind on his alimony, and bill collectors are going to garnish my checks to recover for the med. bills he is not paying on. Yes, he has a good paying job. May I sell the car now to cover his debts?

I am not a lawyer, but I do watch a lot of judge shows, and I'm thinking no you cannot.


Mine would be a police officer, but I just wanted to get what you wanted up here to.

How is ice formed and I don't mean by putting water in an ice tray and putting it in the freezer.

When any kind of liquid is cooled down, the general way to describe the process of cooling in chemistry is, to take away some energy in between the molecule of the liquid.\n\nSo when the liquid has lost enough energy, at certain point, the molecules stop moving. And the liquid turns into a solid form. Thats how ice is formed from water.\n\nThe opposite is also true.\nIf you heat up ice, you actually giving some energy to the ice. And when it has got enough energy, the molecule of ice can start to move about, and they form water.\n\nOther example are:\nmelted metal will turn into solid metal when it is cooled and turn back into melted liquid form when is heated


Titleist Pro VI is still the best overall ball for the average golfer who is willing to pay a little more for a good ball.  It is long off the tee, soft around the green, and consistent with irons.  There are a few cheaper balls that may do the same, but the magazines, pros, and golf shops all endorse this ball the most.  The Callaway Tour HX may be a close second.

My friend was given a empty grenade at a Army Navy store.  He could not take it home with him on the plane.  Now he wants me to mail it to him.  How do I legally and safely do that.  Since 911, I am not sure that I can do it at all.  Should I just take itback to the store.

Any firearm must be mailed by someone with a Federal Firearms License.  Try a gun shop...most of them will mail it for a small fee as long as you have the address of another gun shop on the end.  \n\nAs far as the emtpy grenade, you can just buy another one cheaper than the cost of sending it thru the mail....


Your response must relate to a shopping centre located in the Melbourne area.

Chadstone, of course. Only people who live in the Styx frequent places such as "The Glen" and "Knox" and "Southland". I think Melbourne Central comes in second. Chadstone is the self proclaimed fashion capital, after all (and is by far the biggest of all).


A colleague at work gave me a gift card to a restaurant for Christmas.  He later said to me that it was "in lieu of a blood lunch" and laughed.  I pretended to know what he meant, but I don't.  Does anyone understand this?

I think he meant in lieu of a free lunch by other means (and mostly likely a dig on your mutual employer for not offering said free lunch).  I could be wrong but the expression, I believe, originated from the fact that some blood centers offer donors a free lunch when donating.  Work bleeds you dry...ergo they should offer you a blood lunch.  That's how I would have read the comment anyway....


Any idea how to use GMail to keep track of favorite websites that you visit? That's what Yahoo and now MSN are both doing at this point in time, and I figured Gmailtips.com would have somekind of idea about how to do this but it does not.

In your country what are the marriage obligations of the male and female? (plz state country)

Financially, yes. \nHowever, obligation would be a wrong word to use for that. \n\nIn India, dowry is a common feature in marriages. However, it is in most of the cases, not asked by the man, but is given away to him as a csutom.\n\nThis could include money, furniture to set up new house, house, car, appliances, investment instruments, and anything that might help the new couple. \n\nIts the couple who gets it, and most of it is given by the girl's family. \n\nMost of the young people now look down upon dowry, and do not demand, in fact even refuse it at times. It had kind of become a social curse.\n\n\n\nIn Hindu religion, the pair takes "saat phere" (seven steps). These seven steps represent the sacred Hindu marriage vows: \n\n1. Let us take our first step to provide for our household by keeping a purer diet and avoiding those things injurious to our health.\n\n2. Let us take the second step to develop our physical, mental and spiritual powers.\n\n3. Let us take the third step to increase our wealth by righteous means and proper uses.\n\n4. Let us take the fourth step to acquire knowledge, happiness and harmony via mutual love, respect and trust.\n\n5. Let us take the fifth step so that we are blessed with strong, virtuous and heroic children.\n\n6. Let us take the sixth step for self-restraint and longevity.\n\n7. Finally, let us take the seventh step to be true companions and remain lifelong partners in this marriage.\n\n(see complete details of Hinud marriage at \nhttp://lauraandvikram.weddingwindow.com/...\n\n\n\nIn Islam, there is Khutbah which the Imaam recites at marriage.\nSee meaning at\nhttp://www.mehbooba.co.uk/knowledge/articles/husbandsobligations.shtml\n\nThis is true for Hindus and Muslims anywhere in the world.

I have many same dream about the end of the world!!! What is the most important thing that u want to do before die?\n\nMe,  I don't want to die as a virgin

What are the PROs and CONs if I go to:\n\nSTART\ALL PROGRAMS\ACCESSORIES\SYSTEM TOOLS\SYSTEM RESTORE \n\nand turn the System Restore OFF?\n\nSomebody asked me to do so in order to avoid an oo.exe file which appears to be a virus that is caught by my AVG every time I boot my laptop.

Pros: You get rid of the virus. I have had that problem. But, you can't go back if a program messes up. But, you can turn it right back on after you delete the virus. As you can see, there is a glitch is the programming for System Restore. The glitch is that virus removal programs (i.e. McAfee, Norton) will remove a virus. System Restore notices that the user did not remove that virus (it dosen't know it's a virus, it thinks it is an important file) so, it has a copy of it and replaces it. \nCons: If you mess up your computer in the timeframe that System Restore is not on, you can't undo it. \nMy Recomendation:You have to turn off system restore to completely get rid of the virus. After you do, scan your system to make sure you do not have any other viruses on it. Once you are sure that there are no more viruses on it, you can turn it back on. Also if possible, don't use your computer untill you turn System Restore on.

i live in asheboro, nc and am a drill sgt canidate, i am looking at moving to myrtle beach, sc. what mos is a good one there in myrtle beach or close vicinity

It depends on how much time you like to spend out in the field. If you do,any Infantry or Law Enforcement MOS. Myrtle Beach is a great place to be in the miltary, especially the Army because it's mostly Marines & sailors that go there. All the women are tired of being hit on by them, so you'll have an advantage.


It's very strange how people always act like they are really good and nice and everything, especially when they are really not. How can you tell if somebody is good or bad?

Good and bad are such relative terms. Comparatively if they behave in such a way that's so bad like they enjoy killing and tormenting children or so good like they give away all thier possessions to feed the homeless you can be tipped off. But on a regular day to day nothing is ever as obvious. You gotta check some of your own standards. Do you notice if they act more good than bad in every day situations?


This is a tough question considering most kids will answer pro-misuse.  What I am referring to is "sumbody" vs "somebody" and "skool" vs "school" and other ghetto slang people (kids) use today online.  If you train yourself to type like this, how can you be expected to write properly when you are an adult.  I heard some teachers will fail a student for using this in class, but I am beginning to get annoyed seeing it here in Yahoo Answers.  Am I too thin-skinned?  I am also a bit concerned about how poorly some people write.  I'm no English scholar, but some questions are written VERY poorly.\n\nSo, the question is: Should Yahoo delete or filter this kind of content? (slang-intentional misspellings)

Absolutely. I don't know if I'm just prematurely cranky, a born curmudgeon, or just value being able to read a post without resorting to crypanalysis, but I can't stand the little murders committed on our language ten-thousand times a day on Yahoo Answers.\n\nThis so called SMS language may have a place in the lives of people sending text messages to one another over cellular phones, but anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them should use it.\n\nI don't mind the obvious typo or the posts made by clearly dyslexic people, but the indecipherable gibberish posted by most of the users on these forums is shameful.\n\nI'm assuming that most of these offenders are still in school. I have been given the excuse that their young minds are so hungry for information that they simply don't have the time to use complete words, proper grammar, or bother to check their spelling as they type.\n\nI cry foul! There is no excuse. The only way for an interaction between two humans to remain successful is if clear communication exists between the parties involved. When people don't understand each other, they start to throw punches and eventually the guns come out.\n\nThat may be an exteme example, but Yahoo Answers is nothing, if not a microcosm of a society which values the free exchange of information. \n\nIf we don't understand each other there will be flames, sarcasm, and eventually, a break down of the system.\n\nThis would hardly be the first time that poor communication doomed an otherwise good idea to an early grave.\n\nWhat I'm saying, kids, is that you should learn to use the language. It's the most important tool you have and it deserves more respect than it is shown around here.\n\nADDED DETAILS: Response to Petra:\n\nLack of an education is no excuse. Everyone in this country is entitled to a free ride through school until twelfth grade. Even the worst school system in the most depressed region of the poorest state will teach a person how to form a sentence and put forward their ideas. It's not the lack of education that is the problem. It's the lack of initiative on the recipients of said education.


I love penguins, but I really don't know what the idea is for "March of the Penguins".

It's a documentary (narrated by Morgan Freeman) about emperor penguins and their yearly single-lined march across the harsh an inospitable Antarctica landscape until reach their breeding ground. I guess you accompany everything from courtship to the birth of baby penguins.\n\nDo you mean watching the movie to celebrate your birtday or getting a copy of the film as a birthday gift?\n\nEither way, if you're a fan of penguins, you're bound to like this movie. A friend of mine really liked it and he is only mildly interested in penguins.\n\nHope i can help, bye


mostly the names of the countries have got meanings !

In 1507, cartographer Martin Waldseemueller named the New World "America" after the Italian Amerigo Vespucci.  Amerigo navigated a couple of trips to the New World beginning 1499, but never actually founded a voyage himself.  It remains a large mystery why Waldseemueller chose Amerigo's first name as the choice for the name of the New World.  It may be that he wrote about the New World and was more widely-known for his writings, which led to the naming.  It may be that Amerigo could be easily translated into Latin, and began with "A" like many other foreign continents.  Regardless, he lives in fame to this day.


is there a site where i could get a good breakdown of the principles behind it?

The three primary colors that exist are Red, Green and Blue. By mixing these three colors in different proportions, we can get various colors. \n\nIn website design, the colors of each of the primary colors can have a value between 0 to 255. Using combination of these colors, the webdesigners have to write the hexadecimal equivalent of the combination. You can find the color - hexadecimal conversion charts, and detailed information in the following links :\n\nhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/light6.htm\nhttp://eies.njit.edu/~kevin/rgb.txt.html\nhttp://www.hypersolutions.org/rgb.html\nhttp://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/color.cgi


it is on my nose. about 3 weeks after the boil healed it seems a bit lighter. but only slightly. i want to know is this permanante its not pitted or ruff or anything, just a discoloration. also any way to fade it faster without bleaching creams

This spot is called in medicine "post inflammatory hyperpigmentation" and can result from any injury or inflammation to the skin. This is more likely to occur if you tan easily or have a dark complexion. If left undisturbed (don't pick at it; friction can make it darker or last longer! :), it will slowly fade. Bleaching creams can make it fade more quickly, but are not always necessary. Be patient, as fading can take weeks if not months to complete.


how do banks like ING or emigrant direct work? if I put in $1000 into savings does that mean I'll have $1040 at the end of the month with 4% interest?

ING works like a "normal" bank. You just have to link the account to an existing bank, like Washington Mutual, B of A, etc...and you can transfer money back and forth.\n\nThey are able to pay a higher interest because they don't have a store front and therefore do not need to pay rent, hire tellers, etc. \n\nThe 4% is annual...so $1000 will be $1040 after 1 yr...don't forget taxes on that $40...so it might end up being $1030 or less.


On the east coast of the U.S., the water is warmer and is almost transparent whereas on the west coast, the water is a deep blue and is murky. Yet the same ocean water around Hawaii is clear. Why is there such a difference in color from location to location?

Well mostly the difference in colour of the oceans is due to the muddy and unclear waters. no waters have colour. But it is just the colour of reflection. Please see the site i am listing below. It is a q & a type forum only!!\n\n\nYou may get your answer here too!!\n\nWe see the water  great masses, seas, lakes, rivers, with colors: blue,  green, gray, \nsometimes brownish. But if one picks up a pot of that water the aspect is not colored.  \nSo the color is an optical phenomenon that is observed only when a large volume of water \nis considered and it depends on several things:\n-The water reflects the sky, so its color depends upon the sky colour at that time, and if \nit has white or grayish clouds.\n-At other hand  the water colour depends also from the material that is found  mostly into \nthe sea  water.\nThere are life there…animal and vegetal, a lot,included the  phytoplankton, microscopic \nplants that either float or are suspended there.  And of course there are  dissolved and \nsuspended also inorganic and organic matter coming from the sea floor and from rocks.   \nColor is the result of  optical interactions from the incident  solar light and the \nbillions of microscopic particles present.\nWhen the light of the sun reaches the sea surface different phenomena happen, part is \nreflected, part is absorbed and some is scattered. These phenomena happens with the water \nitself, the dissolved organic and inorganic matter and the suspended particles.\nThe colour of sea water depends upon  the distribution of these facts. It is blue for clear \nocean water and shifts to darker for less transparent or more turbid waters, and depends \nalso from the depth and transparency of the considered layer of water. And that colour can \nbe seen from space! That is why our planet Earth is called the "blue planet". Isn´t that \nwonderful?\nAnd thanks for asking NEWTON!


I served w/this unit for 2 yrs. and 8 mo. I can't locate any info about it. It was in the MAG-24 Air Group, Mcas Kaneohe Bay Hawaii. My OIC was Capt. Stan W. Godsil.  I can't seem to locate any info on his where abouts or MABS-24 in general. I was a supply clerk with the squadron. My rank was E-4 corporal. My name is Richard Pries and I can't believe I can't find any info on this unit...Was it dispanded?  I also served with a SGT Harry Munds..GYSGT Swantek..Cpl Mike Clark..   We all served in this ground base support squadron. If anybody out there could give me some tips on how to locate info on my unit or people I served with  would be greatly appreciated..

The Marines have a history page on the Internet detailing the history of Squadron 24, including details on its service in Kaneohe Bay from 1968 through 2003. See link below.

You shouldn't ever guage how you determine the course of your life or career based on what you think someone else will think of you. You should take a position that will fulfill you more in your career and within yourself.\n\nIf your boss is a good person, and you're open, honest and straightforward in your pursuit of a different position, then your boss will encourage you to better yourself. If (s)he doesn't, then (s)he isn't really a good person to work for.

Is because they crave attention? Or is there something wrong with them? Or what?

I think that it is a combination of both things. Some people just are attention freaks and have to have attention (this is probably because they didn't get enough attention from their parents as small kids). Other people might seriously have some disability or whatnot.\n\nWhatever it is, though, it's pretty annoying to be around these kind of people.


Why are there some "cells" in our society where girls sleep w/ multiple partners and think this is cool? I'm very curious as to why this happens? Is it fashionable?, are they "practicing", sifting through the sand perhaps? What gives?

They may not be doing it to be cool, they probably do it for the same reasons men do. Or maybe they don't understand that there are other ways to get attention.

As a Hungarian,I often encounter people who hate the US,speak scornfully about American people,don't regard American English as REAL English but bare slang,and are opposed to anything related to the US. I acknowledge that there are many things that can be critized in the US (the war on Iraq,obese people,some kitchy films,globalization,etc.),but my impressions of Americans are not that bad,they seem to be friendlier and more extrovert than the British. Stupid people and silly thingS can be found everywhere,not just in America!What I have noticed recently is that East Europeans tend to be 'Anglomaniac', that is they think that British culture is ultimate and they've been tickling to Britain in large numbers.Based on my personal experiences,many of the British scorn us('...poor Hungarians,Poles,Russians etc. came to get some menial work...')while America would be more open towards us, providing more decent jobs. Still we hate Americans.Impenetrable!But there are nice Englishmen,of course!

People you are talking to apparently hate the idea of you liking America ...\nMaybe because you are attractive and they don't want you to leave...\nI know a couple of Czech cousins that love Americans.\nBTW America does not automatically impoverish an immigrant. My great-uncle from Armenia did very well.\nHe started out as a butcher. I worked for a mason off the boat from Italy. Now he has his own company and a big brick house...some immigrants make it.

I think cliches are nothing but frivolous "groups". Some times used to find new "leaders", other times used to exclude people. People call me "goth" or "punk" and the occasional "emo", but really all it is is a label. I'm just saying... if they want to stamp a label on each other's foreheads so be it. But as for me I think they should get to know the person before they act like they know everything about what the person does.

Did you know that a death row inmate can get on organ donor lists and could get an organ over someone that has a whole life ahead of them, someone who has earned it? The government will pay thousands or dollars to operate on these people when they are just going to kill them anyway. What if it was you or a loved one on the list? Did you know that if a death row inmate has a heart attack 2 days before they are to be executed they will be saved only to be executed two days later wasting the government's money? Just tell me what you think.

I think the broken part of the system is the endless appeals cycle.  The fact that someone on death row actually has a smaller annual chance of dying than the average inner city youth (I got that tidbit from Freakonomics if I remember correctly) seems wasteful to me.\n\nBut at the same time, we're not running the Tower of London here.  I think, in a perfect world, we would establish a system with a limited set of appeals or appeal conditions (really new evidence not "judge roulette") and when a case is beyond a shadow of a doubt, the swiftest possible justice should be applied.  As long as you're under the shadow of doubt though, we need to treat incarcerated citizens with full human dignity.

Sometimes I just can't get motivated enough to get any work done. Then I end up wasting my time and having to stay up late, scrambling to get things done! It happens all the time. Help!

I have ADD as well.  What works me best is a timer.\n\nWhen I started this, I would set my timer for five minutes and work for only those five minutes.  When that was up, I would reward myself.  I continued doing this until and slowly increased the time; thereby training myself to work for longer periods.\n\nI now bounce between 15 minutes (for when I feel antsy or weekday evenings when I have several different tasks to work on), 30 minutes or an hour (when I'm feeling pretty driven and I have a major project I'm working on).   Most places I've seen recommend that you work no more than an hour without breaks.\n\nThis may sound like you won't get anything done, but you will be amazed at how much you can get done in just 5 minutes.\n\nETA: ignore Don.  I had ADD well before anyone could tell me what it was.  And I KNEW that I had a problem most people didn't, I just didn't know what it was. When I found out what ADD was (after I graduated college) I was finally able to deal with it effectively.\n\nETA2: desabol has some good suggestions - I want to make some enhancements:\nGetting organized - lifehacker.com has some great suggestions, but I really recommend you start with a to-do list of some kind.  It could be a word document, a 5x7 card stack, or an online to-do - find what works best for you.  This is how I get organized at work.  \nYou don't have to finish one item on your list before you start another.  I often leave projects in the middle and go do something else.  This keeps me from getting overwhelmed with everything I need to do.\nMinimal distractions.  I don't know about you, but very few things use all of my brain.  I find that if some part of my mind is being ignored it can become the biggest distraction of all.  So you need to figure out what are your distractions (for me, it is anything in print and anything that moves), and what can calm that part of the brain that wants attention. Again for me, that is music and I find that photographs of outdoor places also calm me down.\nNotes I write straight onto my to-do list at work. \n\nAnother ADD specific point.  It's easy to get into a what-to-do Catch-22.  You need to wash the dishes, but you need to pay bills, but you need to do laundry, but you need to get the dishes done...\nThe way to solve this is to choose an arbitrary pattern.  I go around my house clockwise (one room per time block) even if the bedroom just needs picking up and the bills are overdue, I'll still start with the bedroom and ignore the bills till I get to them.

Ok..so when astronauts do a spacewalk.. what material or combination of materials are their suits made of to protect the astronaut from all the deadly cosmic rays in space when doing the spacewalk?

The suits protect astronauts from UV radiation (their visors and suits), but they do NOT protect them from the radiation you are refering to.\n\nAstronauts are exposed to radiation.  NASA does everything it can to minimize that exposure.  They limit the time spent outside the spacecraft.  They carefully monitor the Sun for radiation bursts.  They also track and measure the radiation trapped in the radiation belts (which is the biggest threat to the astronauts), and they time space walks to minimize that exposure.\n\nA space walk is a big risk for an astronaut.  Besides radiation, meteoroids are a threat as well.  It is quite a feat of bravery to make a space walk.


My friend was brought to the U.S since she was about 3yrs. old. She is now 18 and I would like to help her. She has graduated from Lake View H.S in Chicago. She doesn't think that she can go to college because of her status. How can I help her?

I'm 31 and fair skinned.  In the last few years, I've discovered about 10 "thicker" dark chin and jawline hairs -- I pluck them religiously, but it kinda freaks me out.  I'm otherwise fairly non-hairy (i.e. upper lip and arms are just fine).  Is this chin-hair thing common?  If you are a woman -- do you have chin hair? How many? At what age?  Please answer even if you have never had a chin hair in your life -- I'm trying to guage if this is common enough that I shouldn't freak out.

yes it's common... chin hair growth usually starts around perimenopause when a woman's hormone levels are starting to go through yet another change. during this time, estrogen levels start to wane, leaving more testosterone to run wild, creating such things as coarse, dark hair on a woman's chin. click on link by source to read more about it... good luck!

i need a good project and was hoping for some suggestions.

You could make a cloud chamber. It's a chamber that's saturated with alcohol vapor so when a cosmic ray or radioactive particle enters the chamber it leaves a trail of mist like when a plane leaves a vapor trail. It does use dry ice and isopropyl alcohol though. It's kind of complicated but would be worth it in the end. You might even win depending on the competition.

Bush says 30,000 since we started the war.   iraqbodycount.net put it at 27383 (miniumum).  So are the Iraqi people worse off under Bush's war or Saddam's rule?

The most scientifically accurate study of civilian deaths since the war started was done by the Lancet, a British medical journal in 2004.\n\nBased on the number of Iraqi fatalities recorded by the survey teams, the researchers calculated that the death rate since the invasion had increased from 5 percent annually to 7.9 percent. That works out to an excess of about 100,000 deaths since the war, the researchers reported in a paper released early by the Lancet.\n\nAt times it may have been worse under Saddam, but that was long before the invasion.  Saddam's worst killings were committed in the 1980s, including his gassing of Kurds at Halabja in 1988.  In Halabja 5,000 innocent civilians, 75% women and children were killed by Saddam's forces using chemical weapons.

I happen to had a contract to buy a house from M. It's an you-and-me contract which was not stamped. In the contract, it states that if M changes his mind and refuses to sell the house, he would have to pay me 2k as compensation. And M changed his mind. Seemed lawfully, he delivered 2 post dated cheques through a lawyer friend of his. 1st cheque bounced on December 2, 2005. Second one will due end December 31, 2005. What legal action I can take on him? He must be thinking that the amount is small and I won't go through all the hassles to make him pay.
