What does the term Six Sigma meaan and what are the tools related to this, I came across this term in the Experience required column of many jobs related to BPO.

Hi,\nBefore i can answer this question, i want to clarify what is your background? if you are asking this question just out of curiosity then the answers given by others are decent enough.\nBut if you are really want to do some six sigma project then you can read next lines..\n\nSix Sigma stands for Six Standard Deviations (Sigma is the Greek letter used to represent standard deviation in statistics) from mean. Six Sigma methodology provides the techniques and tools to improve the capability and reduce the defects in any process. \n\nIt was started in Motorola, in its manufacturing division,  where millions of parts are made using the same process repeatedly. Eventually Six Sigma evolved and applied to other non manufacturing processes. Today you can apply Six Sigma to many fields such as Services, Medical and Insurance Procedures, Call Centers.\n\nSix Sigma methodology improves any existing business process by constantly reviewing and re-tuning the process.  To achieve this, Six Sigma uses a methodology known as DMAIC (Define opportunities, Measure performance, Analyze opportunity, Improve performance, Control performance).\n\nSix Sigma methodology can also be used to create a brand new business process from ground up using DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) principles. Six Sigma Strives for perfection. It allows for only 3.4 defects per million opportunities for each product or service transaction. Six Sigma relies heavily on statistical techniques to reduce defects and measure quality. \n\n\nSix Sigma experts (Green Belts and Black Belts) evaluate a business process and determine ways to improve upon the existing process. Six Sigma experts can also design a brand new business process using DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) principles. Typically its easier to define a new process with DFSS principles than refining an existing process to reduce the defects.\n\n\nSix Sigma incorporates the  basic principles and techniques used in Business, Statistics, and Engineering. These three form the core elements of Six Sigma. Six Sigma improves the process performance, decreases variation and maintains consistent quality of the process output. This leads to defect reduction and improvement in profits, product quality and customer satisfaction.\n\nSix Sigma methodology is also used in many Business Process Management initiatives these days. These Business Process Management initiatives are not necessarily related to manufacturing. Many of the BPM's that use Six Sigma in today's world include call centers, customer support, supply chain management and project management.\n\nCustomer requirements, design quality, metrics and measures, employee involvement and continuous improvement are main elements of Six Sigma Process Improvement.\n\nThe three key elements of Six Sigma are: \n \nCustomer Satisfaction\n\nDefining Processes and defining Metrics and Measures for Processes\nUsing and understanding Data and Systems\n\nSetting Goals for Improvement\n\nTeam Building and Involving Employees\nInvolving all employees is very important to Six Sigma. The company must involve all employees. Company must provide opportunities and incentives for employees to focus their talents and ability to satisfy customers. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have more queires then you can contact me on abhisheknjain5@gmail.com\ni am doing two projects of six sigma in Mindtree consulting Bangalore , India.\n\nI hope that with my little knowledge i will be helpful to you.

Hai \n     I want the exact functioning of the HTTP in the URL.\nWhy we use it .\nany one please answer me.\n\nthanks in advance

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method used to transfer or convey information on the World Wide Web. It is a patented open internet protocol whose original purpose was to provide a way to publish and receive HTML pages.\n\nDevelopment of HTTP was coordinated by the World Wide Web Consortium and working groups of the Internet Engineering Task Force, culminating in the publication of a series of RFCs, most notably RFC 2616, which defines HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use today.\n\nHTTP is a request/response protocol between clients and servers. The originating client, such as a web browser, spider, or other end-user tool, is referred to as the user agent. The destination server, which stores or creates resources such as HTML files and images, is called the origin server. In between the user agent and origin server may be several intermediaries, such as proxies, gateways, and tunnels.\n\nAn HTTP client initiates a request by establishing a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection to a particular port on a remote host (port 80 by default; see a list of well-known ports). An HTTP server listening on that port waits for the client to send a Request Message.\n\nUpon receiving the request, the server sends back a status line, such as "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", and a message of its own, the body of which is perhaps the requested file, an error message, or some other information.\n\nResources to be accessed by HTTP are identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) (or, more specifically, URLs) using the http: or https URI schemes.


Crystal blue? \nDark blue? \nLaurel green? \nMixed?\nHazel?\nBrown? \nAmber? \nGrey? ANY COLOUR YOU WANT! WHY DO YOU LOVE IT SO MUCH?

I would never choose a partner because of their eye colour, but I do think blue eyes are nice.


I ahve gotten several, I have no choice but to reformat my computer. I hate them, I never get into porn pages, or look up for erotic material, I don't understand why I get them. Who makes these trojans, why do they make them?

I had one last week! I hated it too! But you DO NOT need to reformat your computer! Use GOOGLE to track down the whizz-kid Hackers (by which I mean, HACKERS, not the malicious CRACKERS that create these menaces). \nI had the SpyFalcon virus (Red and white box telling me that I had to buy SpyFalcon), and I found the "fix" on majorgeeks.com.  \nThe thing that REALLY annoyed me was that despite having fully paid up versions of Norton Internet security AND Norton Systemworks, Symantic wanted me to pay them ANOTHER $70 to tell me how to fix it. \nIn a lot of cases you can clear a virus by running your antivirus software in Safe mode (press F8 when you boot the machine), but this had built itself into the operating system, so it rewrote itself when you closed down. It was therefore to download a (FREE) piece of software from Majorgeeks, which closed Windoze and deleted it using DOS. \nAs to why, well, I would guess that many people would have paid $50 to SpyFalcon, (or even $70 to Norton), so I guess there is your answer\n\nI should perhaps add that I am ALSO running fully paid up versions of Spybot, Addaware and Spyware Doctor, and none of these could remove it successfully either. The reason is that it was built into Windoze, so it was always able to create a new copy of itself as soon as it was deleted.  These three fine pieces of software (And NAV) can cope with most things though. \nBut  if all else fails, try the Hacker Community, they have everyones best interest at heart. (Another good website was bleepingcomputer.com)


I was married for 6 years and have been divorced for 1.5 years now.  I am trying to get back into the dating thing but I am so scared.  I am not that old (31) why can't I figure it out.  Give me some pointers and ideas on the best way to put myself out their but not look like I am desperately looking for love.  I just want a little companionship.  Someone to have a great time with.

When a guy smiles at you, smile back. When he asks for your number, if you want to, give it to him. If he asks to buy you a drink, let him. We guys know when you're flirty, and when you're not. Just relax! It's like riding a bike, you NEVER forget how.....and flirting is a whole lot more fun than riding a bike!!


adrian and adrianna. its actually a really long story, so i wont tell it to you, but anyways. when you answer type 1, then 2 (for the next person), then 3, etc...\ni have to win!!\nthanks!!

my hubby and I have a friend(won't give full name out of respect 4 his privacy)w/that mid. name\n1.R. Adrian R.\n2.Adrian Paul(actor)


View my questions. And if the questions have to do with totally different questions that a 15 year old girl wouldn't ask is because sometimes my family wants help from the public and they ask questions. And please don't report me because i wasn't asking a question. Here it is: Do you think i'm cursed? There you go now you can't report me because i wasn't asking a question.

Just like you said. People are stupid and think that your not serious about your questions. They might think that just because people on this site are really idiots and ask questions like how to su ck di ck they think that when ever some one has a question about lets say masturabating they think your not serious. So sometimes you just really gotta make people believe that your serious.


How important/heavy does graduate school look into your undergrad GPA?  Will they accept people with low GPA but with work experience?

It is true that most Master's and M.A./Ph.D. programs will require a minimum cumulative GPA, usually a 3.0.\n\nHowever, sometimes exceptions can be made.  For instance, if your GPA in your major (and hence, in the area in which you intend to pursue Master's level studies) was well above 3.0, and it was just a class or two outside of your area of interest that brought down your cumulative GPA, you might still be able to find a Master's program that would admit you.\n\nI am a bit puzzled by the work experience part of your question, but perhaps you mention it because your interest is in an M.B.A.  The graduate program I direct is in the humanities, and work experience would not usually figure into any admissions decisions.


I usually use the expression, "Cool", when I feel something is "cool". How about you?

Well depending on the day I would say that my favorite one is the "o' those damn roses, I wish those pricks would just go away.......LOL\n\nAwesome, cool, mm mm, ....., affectionately yours LOL all the way to the bank, and on Sunday that day of rest so I don't push my luck......way cool...


Well, i have a friend thats a girl at my school. Today, we were talkin and she told me that wen she was 9, she was molested. She is 13 now, and she has never told anyone else besides me. She acts like she doesnt care that it happened. She wont tell me who did it or how it happened either. She says she is over it and that she would be really mad at me if i told anyone, cause her mom would put her in theropy. Well, someone please help me cause i dont know if i should tell anyone or not.

I would find out what she has against therapy.  It helps many people and if something like that has happened to her and she's telling you about it, she must be denying that it is important to her.


I hate the misconception people have that all Muslims support terrorism. They like it here, they are free here, the love it here. Unlike the UK where Muslims are discriminated againist, they carry out attacks on that government. That is why there has been no terrorist acts in the US since 911

American Muslims are every bit as American as the rest of us, and as such, they not only have nothing to gain, but they have as much to lose from it (if not more even) than you or I.


how do you feel about electives taken away

Very sad... but since nobody wants to pay taxes, how are they going to fund the schools?


Some if not most straight adult guys have an issue with another guy giving them an admiring eye - the usual assumption by the straight guy is that guy giving the admiring eye is gay, which is perceived by the straight guy as a threat against their sexuality, or sexual orientation.

Straight men tend to think that ALL gay men want to have sex with them. They don't understand that gay men are just as choosy (or more so) than straight men.


I was just wondering... i supposedly have 2 or 3..

Oh sure you can. I think that if you are a really friendly and easy going type of person with lots of love and happiness inside of you, then you can easily have 2 or 3 best friends. It just means that you are a really great person to know! Good for you!


Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover  \nme in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made  \nall the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept  \nthe floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard- \nworking and honest (except for when I broke into your house)."\n\n According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you  \nmust add me to your family's insurance plan and provide other  \nbenefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work  \nbecause he too is hard-working and honest, (except for that  \nbreaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I  \nwill call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that  \nproclaim my right to be there-and accuse you of being a racist.\n It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I  \ndo, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard-working and  \nhonest ... um, except for ... well, you know.\n\n And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing  \nonly a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you  \ncan do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and  \nbeing anti-housebreaker.\n\n Did I miss anything? Does this sound reasonable to you? If it does,  \ngrab a sign and go picket something. If this sounds insane to you,  \ncall your senators and enlighten them because they are stumbling in  \nthe darkness right now and really need your help."

Actually i posted the same analogy on here last week,but GLAD you did the SAME in case sombody missed it!!! THIS is EXACTLY what is being DONE!!!! These INVADERS have sneaked into our home (the U.S.),and taken over!!! Can't we shoot home invaders???!!!!!!! THANKS!


I myself am bipolar. I have been in a relationship for 8 years now. My fiance has had to learn the hard way how to deal with my mood swings. He says u have to be very understanding,supportive,and willing to help in time of need. I have abused him in more ways than 1 since we been together,but he justs takes it the best way he can. There are groups that help people with bipolar and for those who love someone with bipolar. Learning all you can about bipolar will help out alot also.


what do guys like best on a girl...and how much does size matter?(chest, weight, butt)

Guys will play in dirty water, but they will not drink it. They might wade in the fountain, but they do not use that water for the aquarium. A guy might look at the hot girl that has dated the football team, but he does not usually marry her.\n\nGuys want a girl that looks nice. They want a girl that feels good about herself. They want a girl that is honest. You do not have to have the perfect body, if you are a girl that has real honest to goodness character. Think of it this way...if you were married, would you let your son date you? Step back and look at yourself. Would you? \n\nAs a girl, how do you want guys to perceve you? It might not be much fun being the "good girl," but real, good guys with character want a "good girl."


I need a passage from Shakespeare's Hamlet play that advances character development or theme.  Your opinion would be of great help.

Will the force or vectors be upward or sideways or downwards and at what points on the circullar tracks will those forces change the most? Also I think I need to consider that inertia will take effect on it.

Wow... a lot of complicated answers...simply put... the majority of your force (or pressure) will be on the arch sideways with the most force on it at the initial take off point. It will gradually decrease as it goes round and up as gravity will take hold and it looses it momentum due to the friction against the arch(not allowing it to go straight. Remember that a body in motion wants to stay in motion. If the arch is not tight, it will carry most of its (the projectile) energy to the top platform, so make sure it is prepared for it.


Specifically, Lupus.  My mom was diagnosed a few years ago and I always wondered how she "got it" in the first place.  That we know of, there is no history of it in our family.  What we do have, however, is Type II Diabetes and high blood pressure.

For any kind of cancer it has to do with the cells, now each cell has a copy of DNA, but it duplicates this in the form of RNA and sends that arround the cell to do the going ons.  However cancer results when a certain part of the RNA is miss duplicated, this dosn;t happen very often respectivley since there is somthing that goes over the RNA to make sure it is correct.  However when that substance has a problem it cannot check the RNA and therefore cancer is much more likley.  Because cancer is the rapid reproduction of cells and when the RNA dosn't tell the cell to stop reproducing it makes more and more cells.  Things like ciggarets destroy the substance making them much more likley to get cancer.  So ya thats just a really breif crash course, i reckon you google it if you have anymore questions.


I really don't think it's polite to tell people how to live their life. I mean, I had different Religious People (Not saying who- don't want to offend anyone!) coming up to my house for years. They've woke me up to try to change my way of thinking. And believe me, I listen. But I'm not even so much as tempted to join their religion or cult. I have this one Religioud Group that will not come to my house any more because my Dog was outside and scared them (I didn't know he was out!). They say I "Sicked" him on them, to "Hide from the truth of our almighty God and Church."

If I'm busy working, it annoys me - but only momentarily because I just tell them I'm don't believe in God so I'm not interested. If I'm not busy though, I actually quite welcome it, because I like talking to people with different world views from my own. I see it as a challenge to win someone over to my viewpoint. So when Jehovah's witnesses knock on my door, I suggest to them that religion is inherently authoritarian and actively discourages critical thinking so that it can operate to keep people docile in their subjection to stable power relations. \n\nThe problem is that I find the majority of religious people prefer psychologically to accept a reassuring dogma rather than engage in a critical debate and meet the implicit criticism of a dissenting viewpoint. But I like to think that at the least they will appreciate the fact that I took an interest in their ideas and shared my own with them. After all, they do mean well, they want to help me... and nobody likes to be met with indifference


We have been together for 2 years he's done it once only after I asked him why he dosen't do it, I take very good care of myself I trim the way he likes it, I have a good body and I go down on him all the time I love it, whats the deal any advice

Ask him wtf is wrong with him.. then tell him to go for the gold whenever he feels like he needs to.. he might be masturbating too much and doesn't feel like going down on you because of it.. you should talk to him about it.\n\n~Man~


this is an old movie, i think it takes place in Europe at the end of World War II, but i know i conflate several movies when i think of it.

i run a system info about startup progrms on my laptop,theres too much is it ok to remove it so i can gain speed? ex,autoexec.nt,12520850.cpx,mrt.exe...etc

Go to Start Menu, click RUN. \nType msconfig and hit enter. \nYou should see a pop up box.\nGo to Startup tab and uncheck all the programs that you do not want on your start up. \nThis will prevent those programs from starting up when you restart windows. \nThis will usually make your computer go a little faster if you have do not have much memory on your computer.\nYou do not want a bunch of things running in your background during startup if it is not necessary.

This girl in my school is like a girl who always wants guys all over her, not that I am jealous, she always wants guys to tickle her and always sits between guys so all eyes are on her. She always has boys hugging her and then complains later that a guy's butt was at her face or a guy called her a slut and a whore. Honestly, I think she is those things but I still comfort her by saying she is not that. I really felt like taking the boys side who called her a whore but that would attract more attention. She is always asking me that why don't I (me) get a boyfreind when I feel like screaming at her face " what's the point of me having a boyfriend when I'm gonna marry someone else when I turn 21! and this is middle school!" I always wanted to say this to her but yet I lack the guts!

I think may be she is a broken home child who didnt got attention at home or may be she have some kind of complex thats why she always do these stupid acts...U r very rite that y should u have a BF if u r gonna marry to someone else its ur study time keep focus on ur studies u will have lots of time in life for these activities later...


I liek to write but am not always good at coming up with names.\n\nCan u either tell me if you like Anton and Kayla and/or give me your favorite guy and girl names.

Depends on what kind of book you're writing.\n\nBranch - male, Cascia - female (if you're writing a bodice-ripper)\n\nConnor - male, Olivia - female (if you're writing a normal book)


what state shares this motto? what year was it enacted?


Do people really now what does it means to work hard- I don't mean workholism but just hard work, focusing on goals, dedicating their mind at list for that moment only for goal. I think not only about work for a living. Aren't kids too smart about their rights not obligations. And not only doing obligations because someone is all the time asking them to do this or that  but doing them because it's great skill to know how to work. I think it would be much better not only give less but ask more

I know what you mean.. Although, I believe its not just all about working hard. I know people who work 60 hours a week, hard work and make less than others who work 20 hours a week and half as hard. (My respect to those who work hard though but more respect for those who work smart.)\n\nI am one of those people who say's I worked hard this week although I really didn't (I just made a lot of money so easily). I guess it depends on how well you WORK YOUR MIND. Mental labor is far more rewarding than physical labor. And I am not talking about people who have a college diploma and just sit in an office making 6 figures a year necesarilly (cause thats not my case either). \nIm talking about people who actually use their brain having school or not. Those who have little or no education and are extremely rich and powerfull. \n\nIt is said that, "The greatest opportunities in the world are seen with the mind, and not with the eyes".

does anyone watch house on fox on tuesday after american idol

I love that show!! I am Australian so I an especially chuffed that there is an Aussie actor on there. I only found out today that Jesse Spencer (Chase) is going out with Jennifer Morrison (Cameron)! I almost fell off my chair!! I can't get enough of House. In Australia we are up to the tension between House and Stacy Warner. They have just been stranded at the airport and next week it's about whether she wants to leave her husband. You probably saw that eposide ages ago, but I can't wait to find out what happens!!!


The men all think she's the greatest half-dressed half-wit out there, and women out there (yes, you) don't get what the big deal is.

Paris Hilton tops the world as an ugly celebrity. Not only the eye, have you seen her funny nose? It leaves me speechless how the media portray some people as "beautiful"\nwhen it is obvious that they are not. Can you imagine how\nmuch uglier she would be without all the make-up and hair do's and designer clothes? Maybe someone needs to tell her she's ugly. My boyfriend thinks she's the ugliest blond around!


no.  \npopulation- how many people\neconomy-study of a nations spending.


my boyfriend has cheated on me a few times, and he lied to me about how it happened. he cheated on his old girlfriend with me and when she dumped him he stayed with me, and then he cheated on me, MORE than once with the same girl. (this girl also happens to be my worst enemy, and talks shit about me) in other words, he stabbed me in the back HARD. but he says that he'll never do it again. should i beleive him??

NO!! i think that you should just move on...if he's done it once he'll do it again and again!! i know that's its gonna be hard to move on but any guy that makes you cry and worry more than laugh and be happy isn't worth your time no matter how much you love him..it'll hurt at first but once you let go you'll be relieved!!


What people were important, what important events took place, what styles were bitchin'?

Just answered your OWN question. Do some research.


There was a child abduction warning issued for Hawkins County, Hancock County, Sullivan County, Johnson, TN ect. Can you tell me where I can find out what's going on.

According to the current East Tennessee Amber Alert homepage, as of 10:21 p.m., May 04, 2006, there is no current child abduction warning. Check it at:\nhttp://www.etamberalert.com/


My uncle gave me an expensive ping-pong paddle for my birthday. There was no booklet or anything, just the package. The package said "Butterfly Blades." What are the benefits of this kind?

The biggest benefit of the Butterfly blade is it's control, which many rate as one of the best on the market.  Really though, the best way to find the best paddle is to try them all out and decide for yourself.  I've included a couple links with forums and stuff which talk about different blades/handles and the like.\n\nMatt

I get red big ITCHY rashes everytime I swim in a pool.\n\n\n\n\np.s. not in one particular pool but ALL POOLS.\nIt could be the chemicals in it.

you may be allergic to chlorine, like my son is... the doctor gave him zyrtec. he takes it before, and after swimming, as long as it is within the recommended time of dosages. he also breaks out with rashes when he swims. good luck.


I hate girls but I don't understand why somehow I have soft corner for them...

you have a soft corner for girls becoz they may think that u r capable of understanding them


when I talk people always say that i don't "sound black"... i "sound white." I get really mad and tell them that you cannot sound anyway.. you are whom you are.  then they put their foot in thier mouth way more by saying that I sound "educated." what do you think?

There's no getting around the fact that people from different geographic locations sound differently.\n\nThere's no getting around the fact that people with higher education typically have a better vocabulary.\n\nI would never presume to attach a skin color to these statements, nor should anyone else.\n\nPS. Every time I open my mouth people ask me if I'm from NY and if my family is in the mafia.


Making a dull as well as non-committed young woman/girl sexually responding to her husband. How a man should approach her and any special areas, touch that can make her to respond to the mood of the man

Buy her something expensive, take her out to dinner, let her talk about herself and act genuinely interested. Laugh at her jokes. Make her feel good about herself. Tell her how gorgeous she is. Don't talk about youself unless she asks. These are the best aphrodisiacs for women that you could ever have.


Is it necessary to make a common language to use for all the nation?

It should be. \nWhat is happening now? Many of the educate people now forced to know an International language, mostly English. But it is my bitter experience that many European nation hate to talk in English. I know only English other than my native language, but it did not helped me at all in France, German, Italy and Spain to communicate with people. Moreover in my opinion, there are some limitations also in English.\nSo what is wrong if all the the nation make a new common language extracting the words from all known languages of this world?\nAs some are fearing that the native languages will be destroyed this way. I don't think so, many languages have already lost though there is no common language yet. What will happen, people will be proud to speak in his own language and communicate with other by a mutual common language.\nDifferent language are also creating so many problems in some countries within the citizens. In India they are forcing to learn Hindi, but many people in India hate to learn it.\n\nSo, if there is a mutual common language, then why I should be bound to learn English, Hindi or something like that?

I eat oatmeal twice a day and one regualr meal, yet i don't seem to be loseing anything.

First , you must know that your diet is not the best way to go. The best way to lose weight is with dietary changes and regular exercise over long periods of time. \n\nYour body has many systems that regulate how your body sheds excess fat: If you are eating oatmeal only twice a day and then one regular meal (most likely at night) you will struggle to lose the weight. Your body will go into a fasting/starvation mode and actually store more fat, rather than shed it. Here is what I suggest:\n\nTake your 30 minute workouts and trade them in for 2 daily workouts of 15-20 minutes. This will help to boost your metabolism. \n\nEat 5-6 small meals per day. Starting with breakfast being the largest of them all, and working your way down. Again, this keeps your metabolism up and your body out of starvation mode. You should see some fairly good results for the first few months. After you level off, keep it up and just add a little more exercise. You'll be fine.


I've been taking 100mg's of zoloft for 1 years now.  I think that I don't need it anymore.  Any ideas on how to stop>>??

You are wise to try and regain your brain power. All drugs should be weaned slowly even cigarettes. If you feel good go faster. Recovery from mental illness is not heard of very much because of the stigma.


I'm throwing a party with a Caribbean theme and giving away a cruise to the Bahamas as the "mega door prize." We're having rosemary mint pedicures and peach manicures. What kind of tropical/Caribbean light refreshments would be good to serve at this kind of event?

Shrimp, always something with shrimp.  Tropical fruits are great too.


Someone very close to me has had a fear since they were little and this turns a simple vaccination into a hyperventilating experience.

Being Aichmophobic (phoibic of needles) is no easy thing at all... True phobias can affect our lives in powerful and horrifying ways. They can control us and even reduce our life spans by making constant stress. Being affraid of needles can hinder in your general health as well... You are less likely to visit doctors or get important medical atteniton because you are afraid of a shot. You are also likely to hurt yourself in an attempt to flee someone with a needle, or can hurt others.\n\nFirst we need to discuss the underlying reasons for Aichmophobia...Most Aichmophobia stems from a childhood memory of pain. So, unbeknownst to the person, they really have TWO phobias... Aichmophobia AND Agliophobia (phobia of pain). Knowing and accepting this allows better treatment.\n\nTreating a true phobia can be very hard...Besides self treatment, which is you constantly repeating to yourself, "It doesn't hurt that bad." until you are desensitized, most people need to seek professional help. Doctors can provide therapy, hypnosis, and medication that are tailored for each indiviual person.\n\nI'd like to share more with you and your friend about phobias. I have a blog that I wrote entitled, "Understanding The Face of Fear...Phobias In Our Lives...". I invite you to read it... God bless! :)\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-Owqx0FA7eqJiQrwovLruo7NQuosKnA--?cq=1&p=3

Shipping Chairs for sell and need to know the best way to package the chairs and where to get material to do the packaging.

go to a local furniture store and ask if you can have a boxand some of their packing material, go in late pm so they have time to unpack their daily orders.\nthen ask the guys in warehouse for packing tips


I am practising not to be angry anymore...


Do they have special sticks with attachments.The people I work with ask me why I care,I really don't care I'm just curious and I know they want to know too.This one guy is about 400 pounds and has these tiny T-Rex arms so he couldn't even reach the back of his neck never mind the never regions.

They should employ another person to look after their immediate needs!


This planet in this solar system has hundreds of valcano's therefore may have plenty of diamond rocks or that planet has the right chemical make up to produce much Gold..

Marriage went well for almost 25 years before things changed. Husband complains lack of communication with wife. Wife now can do nothing right in his eyes. Enquiries revealhusband has a new love relationship. No marital/conjugal relationships for past 5 years. Wife knows he is having relationships and wife too has just started a new love. Dilemma now is children and sentiments. In reality, better to be divorced so both can live happily but who takes the first move??? Wife curious.

ask a lawyer for the right and legal answer.


I would guess all of the above.  Though they do a fairly bad job of it and are the most overturned in the country by far.


You probably have some Italian in your background.  We tend to talk with our hands.\n\nHonestly, I don't think it is social, I was raised American not Italian, but I do it too.  I think there might be something genetic involved, but yes, I wave my hands around while talking as you have described.\n\nGreeks to it too.  I think it is Mediterranean in nature.  \n\n-Dio


Like for instance- the guy says he has hit 7 in his last 16 at bat... or they have been 3 for 27 against this pitcher? Etc.

Do you mean radio and TV announcers?  They have each team's media guide, which has several pages on each player for personal information and previous season's stats.  Then they probably go to some website for recent streaks and updated career stats.


easy, while searching in yahoo or google instead of choosing search the web click on image search and type modified cars, or cars ,and the results will be fascinating :)


hi, i'm 16 with ocd, internet addiction,masturbation addiction, and probably lots of other problems. i know its unethical to diagnose yourself and for someone to diagnose you with a personality disorder. what i am saying is that whenever i read about OCPD(obsessive compulsive personality disorder) i feel i like thats me, i feel i can relate strongly to it. it even explains alot of my actions in the past and what i am. \nit says that a person with ocpd is an expert, a professional at controlling their outward feelings. its also said that the majority with ocpd do not seek for professional help because they feel they dont need it cause of their stubborness and rigidty. i used to be like that whenever i went to my therapist, i didnt open up cause i just did not think he could help me. i was also paranoid. i used to be like that not wanting help but now i do... but i cant cause im scared. i mean i dont talk to my parents who love me

Looks like you are a "therapist" yourself.


Whether it was life threating or like a ghost or something? I just want to hear some entertaining stories.

I was out walking in my neighborhood when I came across a kid who was 1 grade ahead of me. he had what looked like a pellet gun in his hand. we stopped and talked a while and I asked what he was doing in my neighborhood. he told me he just killed a guy, stole his truck, and wrecked it a little down the road. I thought he was just messing with me, blew off his little rant, told him "later" and continued up the street. with my back turned to him I hear him say "Hey Vincenti" (my last name). I turn around and he's pointing his pellet gun at me. I start moving side-to-side but he keeps it on me the entire time. "Knock it off B@#$" I said. then his points his gun in the air and fires. that's when I realize it's a real gun! he looked up at the sky, yelled "I'm crazy!" and continues up the road in the direction he was heading. I ran faster and harder than I ever had in my hole life. on my way to help I see the guys truck he had stolen in a ditch with a window blown out. I stopped and looked inside. it was grusome. I kept on to the nearest house, phoned for police, and my dad came to pick me up. the kid ended up doing about 7 years for involuntary manslaughter. the scariest part? THE CRAZY FUCKER HAD A HEAD FULL OF ACID! he could just as easily killed me if he wanted. then again I've always been lucky like that


In the Senate, the vote was 68% for the bill by Democrats and 82% for the bill by Republicans.\n\nIn the original House version, it was 61% Democrats, 80% Republicans.\n\nIn the modified Senate version, the House was 63% Democrats, and 80% Republicans.\n\nThe full tally is in the Wiki entry.


I heard that the heat from the bomb was so intense that it somehow burned until all that was left were shadows. I know this sounds very farfetched, but I thought that it might have simply changed the color of the ground or somehting... And if not, were does this idea come from? Is it just an exaggeration?

Yes I believe it is true.  The extreme heat generated by the initial detonation was sufficient to vaporise organic matter such as people.  A prompt blast wave accompanying this immense 'fireball' would typically blast down most structures.  However, I did hear rumours that at the point of vaporisation these vapours were absorbed into walls, etc.. This would give the impression of a 'shadow' effect when really its not a shadow.. its vaporised people / organic matter.  \n\nSuch a topic is a little sensative (clearly) so be careful where you ask on this one.  The effective range at which this would happen is in close proximity to ground zero.  Beyond this people would combust due to the heat before being blasted by the shockwave (which can flatten buildings).  Outside this I heard reports of peoples eyes melting out of their sockets which makes sense due to the soft tissue nature of them.\n\nOf cause theres also the radioactive fallout which is pretty nasty in the way of being a big time carcinogen.\n\nAll in all Nuclear bombs aint so pretty.  You might also like to look into the neutron bomb which I think was a varient of the typical fission bomb.  I believe it was designed to maximise casualties and minimise structural damage to buildings but I'm not sure..


I have no idea of what to get her because she is very modest and dosnt like receving things from me.

I have a laptop motherboard with a broken power jack. Can anybody give me step by step instructions on how to desolder the jack, and then solder the new jack in its place?\n\nI also saw a guy that soldered wires to the power jack contacts on the motherboard and then soldered the other end of the wires to the new power jack. This made a kind of "tail" and when the tail was secured, it prevented stress on the motherboard from plugging and unplugging the power supply. Does anyone know how to do this as well?

I would agree with the provious answers, low wattage soldering pencil, rosin core solder, and practice first on a throwaway piece of some electronic circuit board.  If you overheat the board it can be damaged beyond repair.  To remove the solder use solder wick, a kind of copper braid made for this purpose.  This job is probably for more experienced hands than yours.


how did it work out? how did the kids adjust? what reaction did u get from ur family/ friends? are u 2 still together?? i'm asking because my BF i met online over a yr ago is from the states. we have met a few times and he has asked me to marry him and move to the states with my son. he figures there are better work prospects for him there. i feel a bit nervous at the thought, not only for me but for my 4 yr old boy. it would be helpful if i got some feedback from people who have or are in the process of doing this! \n\nthanks!!

Most women do uproot themselves, and change their lives for the man they MARRY. It is IMPORTANT that you have this SOLID agreement to marry BEFORE you make huge changes.  A big fat engagement ring is usually a great indicator that he is heavily invested in the relationship (that would be emotionally and financially).\nAnytime you go into a relationship, you run the chance of it not working out. If you move 1 mile from home, or 1000 miles, the "distance" is not as important as your ability to "recover" and move-on to Plan B is the relationship goes poorly.\nYou can look at this time, the moving, and all the details that involves as an adventure.  Look into how often you will have to register your USA occupancy while you are here and not yet married.  I seem to remember it is every six months.  \nMoving to a different country is always exciting.  In particular, moving to the USA is the easiest because we have fewer regulations.  Uh, am not as sure of that now since 9-11 than it was prior....there might be more investigation nuisances now???\nDO HAVE A PLAN B !!!\nPlan A is to move with your boyfriend. \nPlan B, is for you to have family or friends for emotional support and possibly even financial support if you want to move again at a later date.\nWhatever you do, in any relationship, REALIZE that you will find out new things about your new mate that were undetectable over the internet, and can only be discovered when you are living with him.\nNEVER go with a guy who does not have a stable background including length of time at his job, good income, good retirement plan in the works, good family ties, and no history of jail time, or unusual offenses.  Ask yourself WHY he really is looking for a woman over the internet???  How long has he been doing that?  The nicest men lie about how many internet ladies they've met out of some kind of embarrassment.  You certainly don't want one that has had dozens.\nHave you spent the $50 for a THOROUGH background check?  Have you called the neighbors on the list and asked about him from their personal knowledge?  DON'T accept his "niceness" over the internet at the only resource you have to judge this man's stability.  Also, check the pedophilia registers.  If he has moved to a new state recently, or moves a lot, that is a RED FLAG...run like hell.\nIf he is in a menial job, with no history of long employment at any place, that's not good.\n\nBe careful.  And then after you do the CAREFUL and thorough background checking...then\ngo on your "adventure".  Let your family know it might be temporary...and that you will not make a final decision too quickly.  Ask them to keep the door open for you, in case you change your mind in a few months.\nEnjoy life to its fullest in a RESPONSIBLE way.\n\nI WISH YOU LOVE\n*SweeterThanWine

i don understand what is the story behind that, i noticed that a lot of ppl asking about hating Jews for the better?!what is wrong?what kind of ppl hate them?r u talking about fanatic jews or...?they are not involved in terrorist activities right?coz i'm Asian so i don really know the culture about Jews V who???!!!

The answer is partly religious and partly economic.\n\nThe Jews are historically one of the tribes of Israel and the popular belief amongst Christians is that it was the Jews who decided that Jesus (who was himself a Jew) should be put to death by crucifixion. This lead to centuries of dislike of jews by European christians.\n\nAlso from biblical times onwards Jews became prolific traders and merchants throughout Europe and the new worlds, displaying a talent for business, but a reputation for being mean and penny pinching. This is a consequence of any immigrant population becoming succesful in front of the indigineous people. It breeds jealousy.\n\nTherefore as the years rolled on, and jews became more distributed around the world, but simultaenously very succesful in business and politics resentment also built up and they became figures of hate and ridicule in most european countries.\n\nClearly that came very much to a head follwoing the German surrender in the first world war, where many Germans believed that they had been betrayed by Jewish German industrialists, when the German Army hadnt actually been defeated.\n\nThis led to the rise of the Nazi's and the systematic murder of 6 million german jews. Not as often reported but just as horrific was a similar campaign against Jews in Communist Russia. \n\nAfter WW2 the world community decided to give the Jews a homeland, back where they originally came from in a British adminstered area of North Africa called Palestine.\n\nSome of the other Arab tribes, who have now defined themselves as Palestinians took exception to this and have waged a 40 year war against the jews (Israelis). They have been helped in this by just about every other Arab country, but the Israelis have prevailed.\n\nThe sad thing is that Jews and Arabs both have a right to occupy that land as hiostorically thats where they both originated from.

A guy in our 8th grade class acted gay, but as far as any one knew he wasnt. Our gym teacher got him alone in the locker room and whipped his slong out at him and made advances, the kid kicked the gym teachers slong and tore it half off. The techer was taken away in an ambulance and never came back. Turns out the kid was a black belt.


I am trying to lose weight and fat percentage. However, I was wondering if you can work out too much?

yes, your body needs some time to heal of you can do some major damage.


he was a jerk so now can i spread rumors that he is? he was talkin 2 the school dealer and he was definitly buying some. \nwat do i do? ???

Despite how much you dislike him.\nYou should still help him.\nDon't watch a person fall if you can still help them up.


Okay, so me dad and I bought me mum a great present for mother's day! But I kinda want to get her something on my own. So tomorrow when I walk home from school the only store I pass is a drug store. It's a really nice one, but still what could I get her there. I asked my friends and they said jewery or purfume or makeup. But, I don't want to brag, but my parents are kinda 'wealthy' and so all my mom wears in Chanel makeup and perfume. And she only wears designer jewery. So am I basically in a rut? Or do you have an idea of something brilliant I can get her? Please tell! She works in an office so if you have an idea of a brilliant office thing that can be personal then tell me please! Thanks so much everyone! And i'm a minor so I can't buy liquer or anything like that. Thanks so much!

Thats really sweet of you to want to get her something on your own.\nMost drug stores have cards and flowers so that would be a sweet thoughtful way of saying I was thinking of you. Moms no matter how wealthy want to know their kids love and appriciate them. A well picked card with a personal note can mean more then diamonds! My kids are to young to shop (12 6 and 3) but they always make me a card and raid their candy bucket for my favorite candy and present it to me. Yea i know i bought the candy but its so sweet that they always pick out what i like and not what they wont eat :D

Grace Brewster Murray (Hopper) graduated from Vassar with a B.A. in mathematics in 1928 and worked under algebraist Oystein Ore at Yale for her M.A. (1930) and Ph.D. (1934). She married Vincent Foster Hopper, an educator, in 1930 and began teaching mathematics at Vassar in 1931. She had achieved the rank of associate professor in 1941 when she won a faculty fellowship for study at New York University's Courant Institute for Mathematics.\n\nSo New York and Massachusetts for sure.

We all know that the reason Bush gave to going to War in Iraq was the " WMD " reason he gave so many times. Are you mad at our Government for using a illegitimate reason to go to War?? Why aren't Americans making a bigger deal that we are in a mess of a war for a reason that had no truth? I feel that Bush has lied about many other things to Americans..do you agree or disagree with that?

djgriffinny... hahaha... don't worry about darfur and all the people that die there... don't worry about China and how we support their human rights violations... only worry about the bad guys we want you to worry about... nice job only looking where the government wants you too while crimes 10 times more horrific are occurring


erection, but I am not sure. I have never ejaculated, and am wondering if there is somethig that I can do to allow myself to ejaculate. I just want to know if I am capable of doing so.

How old are you? Have you reached puberty? If you have, I think you should talk to your doctor. \nI don't think there is such a thing as a "good" erection. I think that if you have an erection you can probably ejaculate, unless your body does not produce sperm. \nBut really, talk to your doctor.


Based on VISUAL information, do you believe that OUR OWN Federal Government, or factions within, planned and executed the "terrorist" attacks of September 11, 2001?

Of course! Don't forget than Osama Bin Laden was trained in the USA in the early 80's. The american government needed a motive to declare the so-called "war against terrorism". And to succeed that it sacrificed its own people...


“A cautious warning alerts, but an obsessive fear paralyses.” \n\nWith all the things a person can be concerned about these days (natural disasters, terrorist attacks, bird flu, etc…..) it’s enough to make you turn into a cautious freak, but even that isn’t safe.  \n\nFear of failure?  \nIt’s okay to take precautions in life as long as it does not rob you of  enjoying life, trying new things and taking on great opportunities.  We all make mistakes but it is a learning process, we don’t have to be defeated by fear of failure.  \n\n“For a man is defeat not by falling, but by staying down.”  \n\nWhat are you afraid of, what do you fear, the only way to conquer your fear(s) is by facing it/them head on.  You might be glad you did.  No, I’m not saying you should avoid common warning signs, ( i.e. driving right into a tornado to face your fears….. not too bright) but living life fearless, while using common sense.  So go on try something new today, you just might learn something new.     \n\nWhat do you think of this message?

Okay, I see the irony.  I would like to move to Mexico (maybe Quintana Roo area but I'm really not picky!) to live and work as a teacher legally.  I currently hold dual citizenship - Canadian and American.  What is involved?  What is the cost involved?  I fully expect I'm going to get a lot of smart-a$$ answers (I'm asking for it, I know I am...) but if anyone seriously knows any help would be greatly appreciated.

My friend Andrew currently lives in Mexico and is teaching English in business settings. I don't think he has changed citizenship, but he may be able to answer some questions for you. I'll link his myspace below!


to babysit? i babysit my brother and a whole bunch of other kids its so annoying cause this kid, he's 9 and really spoiled and he always wants this or that and if i dont give it to him then he starts crying and he tells on me to his parents and he makes it look like i torture him. His parents believe him and they yell at me!!!His parents know that he's spoiled but they dont know he lies all the time and also they tell me that they dont want him to be spoiled and they want me to fix him and i try.One time i  took him to a play ground and he saw a really nice motor bike and he wanted it and i said "no cause i dont have the money and ur parents probably wont want togivethat dollars to me" then he started screaming to get attention. so then scraped his elbow and i took him home to get a bandaide and he told his parents(when they got home)that i pushed him cause i didnt want him to have a nicer bike than me and he scraped his elbow i got fired from them and now i have another kid like that

I babysit.\nOk to prove to his parents that he is a liar get a friend to video tape you when you are babysitting be at you BEST and then when he lies to his parents about something you did wrong but it is not true show his parents the video. Good luck

I came across this today and our own government is going to try and pass legilation to give the illegal terds citizenship.\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/11/washington/11cnd-immig.html

As I understand it the compromise was that the pro-illegal immigrant sponsors of the Senate Bill would allow there to be a vote on amendments, which they were refusing to do before.  For example, they refused to allow a vote on an amendment which would restrict a guest worker program only to people who are not convicted felons.  In the face of that refusal to consider amendments, Republicans would have fillibustered the Bill to death.\n\nIn return for the agreement to consider amendments, the Republican Majority Leader agreed that a specific number of people whose biggest concern was relief for currently present illegal immigrants would be on the committee that negotiates the Senate Bill (whatever it turns out to be) with the House Bill (the strict one you have heard most about.)  The Senate Bill is expected to have a path to citizenship and guest worker program, whatever other amendments occur, but then it will need to be negotiated against the House Bill which has neither of these things.\n\nPersonally, I think that without SOME form of legalized path for current, qualified illegal immigrants, no bill will get out of Congress this year.  However, the exact shape of that is still on the table.\n\nOnce the two bills are 'conferenced' together, the whole congress needs to vote 'yes' or 'no', without amendments.\n\nThe deal so far just moves the status quo forward to the next step, as far as I can tell.  The big push will be over the next two weeks, so if you have something to say, you should be saying it to your representatives.


What do you think of some aspect of Canada and where did you got this impression or information at?

the people are the same as us.  They do say "ah" alot.  The government is more of a socialist type country.  They all have free medical.  They pay their citizens money to have children.  I live in Buffalo NY, right next to the Canadian Border.  I have alot of Canadian friends.  The accent is different, that is about it.  Oh. by the way, they have alot of doughnut shops over there.  Way more than we do.


i need facts please. please list at least five for me. thanks!

Just look at Whitney Houston. Or a crack head they look like there 50 or 60 when they are only 20 or 50.

When I see him I smile *n I get butterflys! And I dont want to let go of him when we hug. He soo funny and he makes me laugh whenever. When I see him I dont want him to ever leave. We hang out at this place, and when hes not there it seems like I dont belong here. I just wish it was me *n him left on the earth. Its like I want to be with him all the time. I want to tell him somehow but I dont know how. And I'm not even sure if he likes me. He smiles when he talks to me, and he pokes me alot, and grabs me by the waiste. He likes to make fun of me and he messes around with my hair. If I ask him out will he say yes!? Am I really in love!? I asked him to the movies on Friday, but I'm nervous to go, does he really want to go, the first time I asked him. We barely knew each other and he said no, he dont have any money. This time he said yes.

Don't be nervous!!!  Go with him to the movies as friends start doing alot of things with him as friends to where you are doing something with him everyday.  Examples: movies, tennis or homework at the park, museums.  Just do it. Trust me!!!!!\nGood luck chick********


do i just walk in and ask for the manager and show them what i have and ask if they are willing to buy them from me? if yes how do i work out a cost? I just want to make some extra cash.

Take samples and talk to managers/owners but first you need to figure out how much you paid for them and how much u want to make.  Give the watches to manager for the amount you need to make a profit on and he will raise that price to make an amount HE needs to make.  So let's say you paid $5.00 each and u want to make $10.00 on each.  You tell manager you want to sell them for no less than $15.00 ea.  Whatever he sells them for you don't worry about.  He will make a profit on any price OVER $15. A good place to sell these things is Hair Salons, Gift Shops, smaller stores and specialty shops.  Also try Ebay.

when they seem so willing to pay $45/gal for a choco-frocko-crapo-latte at starbucks.  \n\nAfter all, isn't Bush responsible for the outrageous prices starbucks charges for coffee as well?

Liberals don't think, they feel. As you point out, they think Bush is responsible for everything. That is because most attended a government sanctioned child abuse center, aka public school. Thus, you will get idiots replying that this was a "war for oil".  If so, then the price of gas would be around $1.00 a gallon.  Simple supply and demand.  \n\nLet's take a look at a few facts.  First, the cost of crude oil for each gallon of gas sold in this country has gone up from about 35 cents per gallon in 1999 to $1.59 per gallon in 2006.   So ... crude oil prices go up by 454% over a period of seven years.  How much did gas prices go up during the same period?  Try 162%.  Looks to me like things could be worse.\n\nSo ... did George Bush set those crude oil prices?  Did the oil companies go out there and set the prices that high?  Helllloooo!  Do you think the oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia might have had anything to do with it?  Is it possible that the ever-increasing worldwide demand for crude oil was a factor?  How about the fact that oil exploration slowed several years ago when crude was selling for under $20 a barrel?  Now that the price is so much higher many more companies are getting into the exploration business ... but it takes somewhere around 5 years from discovery of an oil deposit to actual production.  The price of oil didn't start its uphill swing until about 2004.  Do the math.  You also have the fact that oil is a commodity that is traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange.  Traders have much to do about setting prices.  Do you suppose that George Bush is calling these traders in to coach them on just what those prices should be?  That's what the Democrats want you to believe.\n\nBesides, can Big Oil set the price, even if it wanted to?  As The Motley Fool points out on their website, there are dozens of publicly traded oil companies.  Add to that mix the government-owned oil companies like Saudi Aramco, and the hundreds of small private companies (my brother used to be the president of one such company) that are drilling around the world ... and the Democrats want you to believe that they all got together to set these crude prices?  Not one of these companies wants to seek an advantage in the market place by lowering their prices?\n\nThis is all about playing on the ignorance of the American people for political advantage.  These Democrats and most in the media know the score.  They understand the difference between gross profits and profit margins ... and they know that most Americans do not.


A person standing on a truck moving with a constant velocity of 14.7 m/s on a horizontal road. The person throws a ball in such a way that it returns to the truck after the truck has moved 58.8m. find the speed and the angle of projection(a) as seen from the truck, (b) as seen from the road        \nanswer with full process.

I'll get you started...\n\nFirst, determine how long the ball was in the air.  From that, determine the velocity at which the ball was thrown (the rate necessary, factoring in gravity's acceleration, to keep it airborne for that period of time).  Construct a vector using the velocity of the truck vs. the velocity of the ball to determine the angle.\n\nGood luck!


nowaday or would have have been given more care and understanding?\n\nFor those who'd like to know who he was, he was a 20 year old with the mind of a little boy, he was hanged in 1953 for killing a police man. He didn't pull the trigger but because the chap that did it was under age Derek got the blame because he shouted "let him have it Chris." Many now think he was telling Chris to hand over the gun, not shoot him. \n\nDerek was given a full pardon but far too late.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Bentley\n\nThanks Vicky x

I am not that old, but I remember this cropping up on the news from time to time.\n\nI would hope that the situation would have got more understanding. There is greater understanding of people with learning diffulculties and these factors are taken into consideration more often.\n\nHowever, the British legal system is far from flawless (just look at Deirdre Barlow!! - joke). One of the biggest shocks to post-war Britain was that its justice system was occasionally incompetent and that the word of a policeman was not always reliable - as in the cases of the Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six.\n\nUnfortunately it all comes down to how skilfully the barristers argue their cases, what the witnesses say and the personalities of the juries. Although it is the best we have got, it is still all too hit and miss for my liking.

They have found ways to contaminate or negatively alter anything worth eating.  They sprayed the fruits and vegetables to death, they injected or made carnivores out of vegetarian animals, many people are alergic to milk and they have bleached the breads.  I go to the store and the shelves are filled with salt, oil and sugar loaded crap with zero nutritional value.  They claim to have dietary benefits, but if you look at the meal replacers, the first ingredients are sugar, corn syrup and water.  It was so much easier to find good food in Japan, but don't be fooled...they have become fast food happy, too.  Without moving out to a farm and making all your foods from scratch, is there a way to live healthy in a unhealthy society?

It is hard but possible. Buy organic food but beware that if it has been shipped from another country it would probably have been sprayed when it comes in to the country. Go to farmers markets and try growing your own veg too. Goats milk is better for those who are intolerant to cows milk. Animals only drink milk when they are young and then they are weened off of it. We only have one stomach unlike cows which is why we are often unable to digest it properly. Goats have one stomach so this is why it is easier to digest. This obviously applies to goats cheese too. Try baking bread and freezing it. Japan has a very low rate of cancer due to the eating habits of those who live there, this unfortunately will grow with fast food society. Exercise is really important to, a lot of people prefer to forget this important factor but walking, cycling and not using a car all of the time can help.


evidently she's the queen of asparagus and doesn't like it (by the look on her face). Who knows.


don't give me an answer that has anything to do with the middle east or any other country, just the U.S.

Do you have some sort of warped sense of reality????\n\nI think that men have more rights than women!


Will someone please tell me a good chat room?

aol, is good but the best out there is msn they have hosts in there that monitor you


I work with high-risk, and therefore some very difficult uninterested students. Does anyone have any creative ideas for a U.S. high school civics research paper topic? I feel like I have suggested everything, and my students are still so apathetic!!! Help!

1. Are teenagers really poor drivers?\n\n2. Are the police unduly hard on teenage drivers?\n\n3. Do store owners "assume" that teens are shoplifters when they are in their store?\n\n4. Why is the student council effective(or ineffective) in this school?\n\n5. How well does this community respond to the politics of the time by voting in local, state, and national elections?\n\n6. In examining the school budget, how much of the items are "fixed" costs?\n\n7. How do parents and the police feel about advertising that sex offenders live in the neighborhoods of your community?\n\n8. Convince your teacher and principal that there are rules in the school that are unfair and need to be changed.\n\n9. Should there be compulsory education for everyone until they are 16 or until they graduate?\n\n\nI hope these few help. I tried to make them so they would appeal to turned off students.


Ok, so people break records and run 100m in so many seconds or swim 100m in ...seconds, but my question is what is the limit?\n\nThese runners keep breaking records and run faster each time, but surly there is a maximum they can run 100m, as I asume that they can't keep on breaking records until they reach the speed of sound (or light)! \n\nWhat is the limit? or is this a silly question?

Most recent world record in the 100 meters is 9.76 seconds.  That equates to 22.92 miles per hour.  That's pretty darned fast, but they can't sustain those speeds for long.\n\nScientific American magazine printed an article showing the time trends of a variety of world record performances, and it was a very slow, but linear trend downwards -- i.e., the times to cover specific distances in world class performances was trending steadily downwards.  No estimate of a human physical limit, but an interesting study nonetheless.\n\nThe most amazing thing in that study was the spectacular performance of Bob Beamon in the long jump at Mexico City in 1968.  His leap put him something like 20-25 years ahead of the statistical trend for the long jump, and it took that long for the rest of the world to "catch up".


How long did it take to go through the process.

I got several federal grants, but they are not personally but for the non profits that I worked with. My business got a grant but it was for a project where we gave various seminars (how to start a home business; online business; ebay business) to low-income minorities.\n\nNote that the government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.\n\nThere there is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved. The approval process depend on the grant; some can be approved within 2 months while others can take as long as 6 months or more.\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs


since childhood i have always wanted to transition into a woman.  it has made me suicidal in the past.  the only thing holding me back is being rejected by family and friends.  also i am scared i will never be accepted in my new role.  its scary but not being a female is making me miserable.  i pray every night to wake up as a chick... the only way it'll happen is hard work and sacrificing everything though.  how can i do it without losing everything?

I am saying that if you are certain without a doubt then you should go ahead. I'm not saying it's going to be easy for you though. It is unfortunate that we have always been taught that there are only two genders, some communities have acknowlegded three and there are some theories that there are many more genders than that... but we have been taught this male female dycotamy which isn't really true. You will obviously need to have a lot of counciling first which you can take your family to.. keeping them in the process will help here. People will at first think it is just in your mind but you seem to be honestly transgendered which your doctors will try their best to explain to them. The suicidal thoughts are common for transgendered people, a dispising of the body they are born into. (You may find it interesting that autopsies of transgendered people have found that they have the brain of the gender they always thought they were.)However it is common for people to feel that they have lost a child and the new one which they have will never replace the one they have lost. It is terrible I know but you will have to help them understand. It is not uncommon for people to loose friends in the process, help them as much as you can but if they will not accept it I'm affraid there isn't much you can do. It's hard for people to understand that this is different than simply dressing in drag. If it helps generally people are much more happy after undergoing the procedure. They are finally who they always knew inside that they were. If you like I can email you some journal articles on people's experiences of being transgendered... It's not even all that uncommon... To my recolection it is one in every 17,000 or something like that. Anyway, I hope this has helped. So the first step is getting some counciling for you and your family...\nI wish you all the luck in the world.


the design of the website?how much needs to be paid for webhosting?etc.

first, you have to know what type of services your website will provide, so, you can determine what exactly the requirements of your Host.\nah, Host: the server that will 'host' your website files, the PC that will always be on so everyone writes the name of your site in the browser will be able to see your site.\nThere are too many host services available, and for sure every service will cost you more, also hosting php and mysql is cheaper than hosting aspx and sql server.\n\nDesigning the site, and creating it is up to you, you can create it your own and upload it, or make an agreement with another company to build it, upload it for you, and pay for it all.\n\n2nd, Domain: host providers can provide you reserving the name you choose for your site, or , you can reserve it on other domain servers.\n\nI suggest canaca, it is very effective, and one of the cheapest you can find.


I had to pay for motel while the fire damage to my house was being fixed, plus keep paying my rent and as many bills as I could. I'm on disability, and am getting ready to have my gas and water and trash services shut off.  I need to know where I can recieve help so that doesn't happen.  My gas bill is near $200.00 because the cleaners and painters left the heat full blast and windows open, my water bill is only about $40.00, But I have no money to pay them and they are not giving me any time.

During baseball games, Joe Torre can be seen holding a black baseball bat.  The bat belongs to Derek Jeter.  If the team is not doing too well, Torre will put the bat down.

Superstitious. A lot of ball players are. I remember there was one pitcher who wouldn't step on the white chalk line when he returned to the dug out. Others take two practice swings before going to the plate. It's all mental, but if it helps to calm them down, why not?


That's so insulting--to Curious George, that is.


I want to know roughly how much it will cost me! Also how hard is it to get tix. I live in Sydney Australia

I believe you can get them online at the official website. www.liverpoolfc.tv\n\nOr you can get them at the stadium itself if you're already in Liverpool by then. Of course you'd have to wait till all the 'priority' fans i.e season ticket holders get theirs first.\n\nAs for Champions League matches, it's harder if its an away leg. Liverpool FC will have a allocation of seats depending on the other club. Again, season ticket holders get to buy them first.


ridiculous running round the pitch girls leave it to the men come on england in the world cup

U r the ONLY retard who thinks that!!!!!!!!!!!GIRLS SOCCER IS JUST AS GOOD AND BETTER THAN MOST MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So u need to shut up because u r just JOULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have asked numerous times and always the response to my question is positive . If you have a "magic 8 ball " , please try and let me know .


Congress is considering passing a Immigration Bill by Memorial Day.  The news article says the Bill will allow millions of illegal aliens, not immigrants, to become citizens.  Most the people I have talked to, do not want this Bill passed.  I and some of my friends have written our Senators and Congressmen but I don't think they really read them.  From what I see on the T.V. Senate and House Floors, not one of them is against passing a Bill to stop the illegals from coming here and staying.  How do we get the word to them now before it is too late?  I will help vote them out in November, but by then the damage will already be done.

In general, the best effort to be made to stop a bill is to write your representative / Senator and tell him/her that you are against the proposition. If he/she notices that a large majority of his/her constituents is against it, then he/she will probably vote against it. This is of course in a perfect world.\nIn the real world, it is very difficult to really imagine what is happening on the hill. More often than not, a representative will vote on a particular bill against his/her beliefs or desires of the constituents in order to gain a vote from another rep. on another bill. \nFor instance: \nYou (and your constituents) want a law saying all cars must be red. I want them all to be blue. \nYou want free ice cream on Thursdays. I want free soda pop on Thursdays.\nSo we make a deal, you vote for blue cars and in turn I vote for ice cream.\n\nAs for the particular bill in question, both partisan groups see big (personal) advantages in passing this bill. The Democrats see a LOT of new voters, while the Republicans see LOTS of cheap labor for their pals in Big Industry (who get them voted into office.)\n\nSo I think we Americans are going to see the probably biggest sell-out of our society in a long time. I have already stated my opinion on this immigration issue in an earlier post, so I wont go into it again here, except to say this: The immigrants showed ZERO respect for our laws by their actions, why reward them with citizenship?


Hi  \nI browsed some q&a about love but I could not find an answer to my question. I care about my b/friend and I feel his pain, I am ready to help and sacrifice for him because I think he is a good person with good values. However, I miss the bliss.. soemtimes our conversations are boring and uninteresting, we dont laugh much, and he does not make me think smart. What can you say about a long term perspective of this relation?

You say you "miss the bliss".... Have you experienced the "bliss" before?  Are you comparing your boyfriend to another/past boyfriend? If you are then perhaps you need to rethink your relationship with this boyfriend and take time to really see him for who he is and take a look at yourself and what you want out of life.  \n Laughter in a "forever" relationship is important, in my opinion, especially if laughter is important to one or both parties.  \nJust a little piece of advice for what it is worth, no one can control how we feel about ourselves unless we give them that power.  Bring up your own self-esteem and then perhaps you will find someone who full-fills your needs as well as you full-filling theirs.


I'd like to get maybe a .32 revolver or something of the sort.  Perhaps a .22.\nI don't want to spend a lot of money, but I'd like a decent piece.  I don't mind if it's used.\nWhere is the best place to look?

I would suggest a gun show or from private parties.  Whenever you buy a gun, insist on a receipt with the gun's serial number and the selling parties personal information.  This is for your protection if the gun is stolen.\n\nIf you're looking for a gun for self defense, you may want to do some research on caliber sizes. A .22 caliber isn't the best choice for self defense.  But it's a great gun for target practice and learning how to shoot.  It's also great for hunting small game. One of the most fun guns to own. It just doesn't have the stopping power needed for self defense.\n\nGood luck!


Why is it that when someone disaproves of homosexuality everyone has to say that that person must be unsure of their sexuality or a homophobe or secretly gay?  That is not the case.  Why is it that some people cannot except that there are people that just do not agree with that lifestyle?

That's an excellent question that I would like to know the answer to as well. Also, to add to this, why is it when one disagrees with someone is that person automatically accused of hatred? I just disagree - that doesn't mean I hate.


What is THE funniest/weirdest/craziest thing that happened to you or a co-worker while working in a retail store? I need a good laugh. :)

A lady tipped my co-worker with three cigarettes and a Paxil (anti-depressant) pill.


how can i tell him that i haven't had an orgasm in over 2 years that i've been faking it all this time. I do orgasm when i'm pleasing myself. I've tried to tell him what i like but he just doesn't seem to want to take the time.

My advice to you is be honest and open with him, You can please yourself while he is making love to you. Communication is the key here. Tell him what feels good and what doesn't.


I have read that it is true but higher vibration than any earthly place, so normal people can't find it.

There is a great deal of speculation about it, compounded in part by the somewhat odious assumption that this place is so high in its vibrations that it is invisible to ordinary human vision and that only spiritually advanced people can visit/see this place. Still, so much has been written about this place by so many authorities that it is difficult to dismiss the claim (about its existance) out-rightly. Most recently, James Redfield has devoted a whole book to the subject, brilliant as he is. The most recent theory doing the rounds is that this place is located at present not in the Himalayas, as previously speculated, but somewhere in the Gobi Desert. There have also been a substantial number of un-confirmed reports about people being rescued by guardian angels of Shambhala. But we will probably have to wait for some time in future when hopefully more definite evidence emerges to confirm or deny the existence of this place.


but does that make me mental like pop a pill mental?

go to the dr. i there is some pills that will help you be more you .all the time


wife???? He would also get very aroused by it.... and want real detail and even go as far as you calling out another name...(name of a guy that you both know not just one name all the time though)and when you give great detail about that person and wife going at it then top it off by yelling out the persons name(not the husbans name) they get off....... What the heck does this mean ???

He has a fetish an unusual one at that.  Probably had his first orgasm eavesdropping on his parents who screamed out each other's names.  Ask him.


ok i no this guy i met who is 17 and lives in oklahoma and we phone dated and evrything for 5 months then he goes out with my best friend and finally calls me weeks later after breakin up with her and starts talkin like nuthin ever happened. wat is goin on? does he still like me cuz it seems like it and i still love him??

Who are you kidding?? do you have any idea what a jerk this guy is????????? First off, he's gonna ditch you for your best friend and when he feels like he's done with her, he comes back to you??? Seriously, why would you ever wanna date someone who once dated your best bud unless if she's ok with it, but still I don't think that's right. Besides, he's playing with both of you and you will be played twice if you don't see what he's doing. Please don't tell him you love him because obviously he doesn't love you and he will hurt you. You can't trust a loser like him, and I hope you're smart enough to make the right decision. There are so many nice guys out there, find one that is serious and ONLY interested in you.


I first met her when I was 11 (she was 9) and we've been living in one house since than, now I am 19.  Never felt like she's my sister, and I really find her hot.  What makes it worse is that I started feeling that she has the same feeling for me, what do I do??????????

Just move out, did you consider doing so.  What you're about to do might seem nice and hot now, but will you be able to deal with this in the future??? Can you just think of how terrible the consequences might be?  Start thinking of it backwards, if you will be able to deal with this and the possible consequences of this than go right ahead, if not, I suggest you take a real action like moving out, we're all weak and if this is how you feel now than there is a big chance that you both might weaken again one day.


Of the following options, which is the best for extreme pleasure? and, Why?\n1.Gay/lesbian\n2.Masturbation-both sexes.\n3.Normal man to woman sex.\n4.Group Sex-involving many men and women at the same time.\nOnly experienced men and women to answer!

I think that your question is based on a flawed premises.  First, since "best" is such an inherantly personal feeling, every answer would be different.  Second you assume hierarchy where I believe that none exists.  \n\nI've had a lot of sex.  A lot of sex.  With a lot of people, some at the same time, some in interesting places, some with interesting accessories, some with interesting results.  No type of sex is inherantly better then another, they're just all very different.  Having group sex with 15 people gives you an entirely different kind of sensory experiance and different types of human connection then masterbation or one on one sex.  Being spanked at a sex club is different then making love on your anniversary.  Masterbating with your partner as part of sex is different then masterbating by yourself in the bathroom at work because you're just really horny today.  Human sexuality and sexual experiances are all different, unique, special, and (I would argue) sacred in their own unique way.  They are a swirling spectrum of feeling, sensation, emotion, and desire, not a top-down pyramid of good to bad.

The CIA it´s a civilian agency, and I have a question about whether or not a person who has 100 percent of his career being in the military can adapt to running a civilian agency.

Michael Haden is a maniac! He has NO place in the CIA! The American public cannot allow this nut to be appointed.

Bulimia is estimated to affect between 3% of all women in the U.S. at some point in their lifetime. About 6% of teen girls and 5% of college-aged females are believed to suffer from bulimia. \n\nBulimics are also susceptible to other compulsions, affective disorders, or addictions. Unlike anorexics, bulimics experience significant weight fluctuations, but their weight loss is usually not as severe or obvious as anorexics. \n\nThe secrecy of bulimia stems from the shame that bulimics often attach to the disorder. Binge eating is not triggered by intense hunger. It is a response to depression, stress, or other feelings related to body weight, shape, or food. Binge eating often brings on a feeling of calm or happiness (euphoria), but the self-loathing because of the overeating soon replaces the short-lived euphoria. \n\nOften, the individual will feel an impairment or loss of control during the binge eating and the purging becomes a way of regaining control. Not all bulimics engage in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas during the current episode. Some may fast for days following a binge episode. Others may resort to excessive exercise as a method to regain their control and rid their body of the possible weight gained during the binge. Excessive exercise is that which interferes with normal daily activities or when it occurs at inappropriate times or in inappropriate settings, or when it continues despite illness or injury.\n\nPatients with bulimia present a variety of medical and psychological complications which are usually considered to be reversible through a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Treatment can be managed by either a physician, psychiatrist, or in some cases, a clinical psychologist. The extent of the medical complications generally dictates the primary treatment manager. A psychiatrist, with both medical and psychological training, is perhaps the optimum treatment manager. \n\nSome patients may require hospitalization due to the extent of the medical or psychological complications. Others may seek outpatient programs. Still others may require only weekly counseling and monitoring by a practitioner. Stabilization of the patient's physical condition will be the immediate goal if the individual is in a life-threatening state. The primary goals of treatment should address both physical and psychological needs of the patient in order to restore physical health and normal eating patterns. The patient needs to identify internal feelings and distorted beliefs that led to the disorder initially. An appropriate treatment approach addresses underlying issues of control, self-perception, and family dynamics. Nutritional education and behavior management provides the patient with healthy alternatives to weight management. Group counseling or support groups can assist the patient in the recovery process as well.\n\nThe ultimate goal should be for the patient to accept herself and lead a physically and emotionally healthy life. Restoration of physical and mental health will probably take time, and results will be gradual. Patience is a vital part of the recovery process. A positive attitude coupled with much effort on the part of the affected individual is another integral component to a successful recovery.


Yes, I am interested in horoscopes.\n\nScorpio the Scorpion (October 23 to November 22)\n\nScorpios are considered passionat, intense, secretive, magnetic, powerful, and vendictive.  Like the spider manesakes, Scorpios can be quick and bold and strike when the time is right.\n\nScorpios have powerful bodies, penetrating eyes, and a self-assured, magnetic quality that attracts people and inspires their loyalty.  This is important, because some Scorpios can drive people away unless they control their temper tantrums and bluntness.  When crossed, they won't rest until they've had their revenge.  They like to find out what makes people tick wothout giving up their own privacy.  They are good at solving mysteries and finding lost items, and they're often attracted to the mystical or forbidden.  Even young scorpios have lots of boyfriends and girlfriends.
