Why does everyone stereotype/hate americans?

The main reason Americans are such prime targets of stereotyping is becuase they are part of the most predominent country. No, I'm not saying they're the greatest. The truth is that America itself is a very hypocritical nation in that it was first organized against imperialism ,but now has bases on almost every country. You ask why America is stereotyped? Well, would you like one of the newest nations just strutting around as if they could do no wrong ,in your own backyard no less? Anyway aside from America's bad points you are absolutely correct. However, America does feed most of it's own bad press in statistics and the news. The question you should be asking is why all news reporters just happen to find the least literate, fattest, and most interesting characters to interview. Its simple, it sells. America, whether people want to admit it or not is a bussines and what is a bussiness if they're product doesn't sell? Its not a bussines at all. So in reality all the stereotypes and slander that plague your tv set is old fashioned American ingenuity at work. By the way, America is a diverse country. I guess you could say America is a little bit of every country so when people in other countries stereotype America they're just laughing at what they would be if they had freedom. I don't hate America ,but i do hate some of its characteristics. No country is perfect and at the moment America is as close to perfect as we can hope for.

how can i make her mine?she is so confused.how can i make her to say truth?.?

You can't exactly make anyone yours, if they are truly meant to be with you then it will come with time (naturally).  The fact is you can't make someone love you because then it's not really love, real love is reciprocated, not a one way street.  If she's confused, then give her some space and time to sort out her feelings, don't force her to make a decision because then it might push her further away from you.  Believe me, when the time comes, you'll know whether or not she belongs with you.

Unless a priest has been defrocked, he remains a priest for life - even if he leaves to get married (in this case he would be severely limited in what he is allowed to do, but still a priest).\n\nIf he simply retires he would be addressed as Father.  If he leaves the priesthood (either on his own or is forced) he is simply refered to by his name.

Will I be able to loose a stone,in a month?

It really depends on your current weight and a diet. It's quite easy to lose a stone if you are overweight. I lost 2st in a month and a total of 6 st in 4 months. Cutting out all cakes/biscuits/crisps and sweets replacing them with fruit/veg. Also stay away from alchohol, sugar any milk drinks whilst drinking at least 2 litres of water a day. Also limit bread/potatoes/pasta during your month. A few hard days and you'll see the results. Once this happens you'll get the momentum to continue. Good luck!!!

anyone think that troy smith has a chance of winning the heisman thie upcoming season?

He has a chance.  He was very good the last half of last season.  He was actually in the top 5 in QB ratings at the end of the season.  However, with the defense being almost 100% new faces, the Buckeyes could struggle, and if they lose too many games, it will pretty much destroy Smith's chances of winning the Heisman.

File as soon as possible to get it back.


how do i break in a first basemen's glove properly? is it different than breaking in any other kind of glove?

If Jesus was here today what would he think about the immigration situation?

God has regularly destroyed nations . and the bible is full of stories of peoples who protected their borders.their gates ,\n\n\n\nIn chapter 13 of the apostle Paul's Letter to the Romans, the English translation reads, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed..." (Romans 13:1-2). Clearly, this is advice to Christians to follow the laws of their nation and to respect the laws of other nations.\n\nThis is not to say that illegal immigrants should be treated badly.\n\n\n\nThere are ideas implied in Paul's other writings that also shed light on the contemporary issue of illegal immigration. In his Letter to Philemon, Paul address the issue of what is to be done about a runaway slave. In short, Paul sends back the runaway slave, Onesimus, and encourages his master, Philemon, to accept and forgive him. This may seem an unusual act by Paul to those who know that under Roman law, the master had absolute authority over the life and person of the slave.\n\nAlthough illegal immigrants are not slaves the way Onesimus was a slave in the apostle Paul's time, we can see illegal immigrants today as persons running away from their moral obligations to improve their own country and not run down ours. If that is the case, then it is certainly a moral and Christian thing to encourage illegal immigrants to return home and make life better in their own country.\n\nMany times in the Bible, God allowed the Israelites to go to war rather than come under the rulership of an evil dictator\n\nagain This is not to say that illegal immigrants should be treated badly.\nbut they must help themselves too.\nThe Bible never support people tresspassing into others lands in an inappropriate manner. The Bible never supported open borders for the Bible says that boundaries were ordained of God. It was the Tower of Babel that promoted an open border system. \n\nThe following link blows her( Hillary's) arguments out of the water at:\n\nhttp://www.covenantnews.com/baldwin060331.htm

They are nutters 9/11 did happen.

What has been the change in productivity for the past 10 years? Why?

Productivity in this country has gone down because too many of the youth entering the work force do not know anything at all.


Depending on who you listen to, there are several reasons. I shall attempt to run them down & provide a brief explanation of each, and state my own opinion at the end.\n\n1. Oil. The US needs a source of oil, so we invaded Iraq to get it.\n2. Big Business - The US needed a way to boost the profit lines of big business, and war is the best way to do it.\n3. Freedom - We needed to free the Iraqi's from Saddam's thumb.\n4. WMD's - Saddam had WMD's, he refused to let the UN make inspections, and it's too risky to let Saddam have WMD's.\n5. New Base Location - Iraq makes a great place to project power from in terms of the US military, it is adjacent to the Gulf, and provides ways to reinforce Turkey, as well as keep Iran in check.\n6. Violation of Gulf War cease-fire agreement - Iraq violated the cease-fire agreement of the 1st gulf war, so this war is simply a conclusion of the last war.\n7. Bush's daddy - Saddam tried to kill Bush Sr., so Bush Jr is seeking revenge.\n8. Terrorism - Saddam was conspiring with Osama, so the US had to intervene.\n\nAnd my opinion:\nBush Jr. was obsessed with Iraq, and decided long ago that he was going to end Saddam's rule. He found a reason, Saddam didn't back down, and now we're in Iraq.\n\nHope this helps as a general overview.

How do I get a network key to Gadnet security-enabled wireless network? Thanks if you can help. Doug?

if it requires a network key than more than often if you don't already know it, then you probably shouldn't be on the network.

Is it illegal to use the neighbor's wireless internet signal?

It is not illegal anywhere in the US, but it may violate the "terms of service" of the person whose wireless signal you're using to access the internet.   (In other words, it would be a civil matter, rather than a criminal matter, if it were to be prosecuted.)   In practice, this is widely done.   I believe Comcast is the only Internet service provider that makes an effort to police this, and even they may have given up by now.\n\nI have heard of many cases of people using wireless internet service and not having any idea who is providing it to them!

Why would someone write letters upside down accidentally?

Look at this:  \n\nM = /\/\\n\nW = \/\/\n\nnow... what does it take to turn an M into a W?\n/\/\ ~> /\/ ~> \/\/\n\nThe point is, it's pretty close to being the same letter, so in times of lapsed concentration, it's easy for your hand to forget which letter it's writing.  What's funny is when people type out completely different words than the ones they were thinking.  It's Freudian.  Like if you're used to typing out "what the hell?" every single day but today you decide you're going to type "what the hole", and your fingers bypass the hole and go straight to hell.

In a triangle the sum of the angles is 180°, but the sum of the tangents is not anything in particular.  The tangent function is 0 for 0°, but it increases without bound as the angle approaches 90°.  So if the triangle contains one angle very very close to 90° and the other 2 are the rest of the 180°, the sum of tangents can be as large as you like.  On the other hand, if two of the angles are very very close to 0 and the third very close to 180, the sum of the tangents can be as close to 0 as you like.

1.  Limit the roughness - never happen, the players enjoy the contact too much.\n2.  Some guys can still go both ways (OH!) but that will lead to more injuries which you said we needed to reduce in item 1.\n3. Since we want to keep injuries down and we aren't going with items 1 or 2, we need a larger roster.  The guys don't get paid NEARLY as much as basketball or baseball players which is ironic since their career duration is much shorter.  Remembering the good players will come naturally.  \n4.  Many people overlook the importance of special teams since it seems like a segue period of getting the ball from team one to team two; a means to an end.  Football enthusiasts (like me) see special teams as important as offense or defense and special teams players are needed as much as the other guys, most of whom just aren't special teams guys.\n\nMy suggestion would be to give the ref the ability to judge pass interference so that it wouldn't automatically be a "ball placed at point of infraction" penalty.  If it's an incidental infraction, make it 10 yards and auto first down play.\n\nAlso, holding is a crappy call that needs standardization.


Is hitting off a tee a good way to develop a young person's baseball swing?

It can help kids who have never played before learn how to hold the bat, swing the bat, and hit a ball. If a kid already has these skills, a more helpful drill is to have them his soft-tosses into a fence. have them stand about 10 feet away from the backstop, facing the backstop (as if it was the pitcher's mound. Kneel off to the side about 5 feet away (as if you were in the other batters box) and gently lob balls to them underhand. I realize this sounds a bit confusing, but here is what it should look like:\n\nchild------backstop\n|\n| (softly thrown ball) \n|\nyou\n\nThis helps them learn how to hit a moving ball, and teaches them a more natural swing. This is also a good way to learn how to drive the ball with some power.

Do you think that the goverment should let gays/bi/poly get married?

Since, your question asks whether the "government should let" homosexuals get married, The Bible doesn't factor in.  The government is supposed to be an institution of law separate from the rule of religion (separation of church and state).  That said... the U.S. Constitution provides that there can be no discrimination based on race, creed, religion or nation of origin.  That same amendment has been interpreted to also include sexual preference... hence, there is no way under the founding laws of the United States of Americ to exclude gays and lesbians from "legal" marriage.  As to whether or not gays and lesbians will ever be allowed to be married in "religious ceremonies" is a different matter.  That's when The Bible comes into play.  But... legally, the government cannot discriminate, and we are all guaranteed liberty and justice FOR ALL.


what is the difrence between a water soluble and a fat soluable vitamin?

A water soluble vitamin is one that will dissolve in water. A fat soluble vitamin is one that is absorbed through fat. It's all in what kind of solution the vitamin will become part of. If a vitamin is water soluble, it will not accumulate in fat; if a vitamin is fat soluble, it will not dissolve in water.


The whole thing in pool is that the angle of inflection is equal to the angle of reflection.  I wonder, I've never tried this, if using a laser pointer to show the line of sight and the place on the ball where the cue ball should hit.  You could also use a mirror and a laser to find the position on a the bumper to shoot the cue ball for a bank shot.  If you move the mirror along the bank with a laser behind the cue ball pointing at the mirror, the only time it will shine on the ball intended to be struck will be at the position you would like to aim the cue ball in.  \n\nI just made all this up, so I don't know if it would work.  But, it would be a good visual way to describe what you are trying to explain to your friend.

What's the best way to shrink/get rid of visible pores and facial hair?

Pores: There is a mask out there called St Helens or Queen Helenes Mint Julip Mask. You can find it at Family Dollar stores for like $3. It works awesome for shrinking pores. They used to have it at WalMart, too, but I haven't seen it in a while.\n\nFacial Hair: use a facial hair removing lotion like Nair, (make sure you get the one for faces!) That way you don't get bumps or burns from a razor.

The quality of Philippine Education is largely affected by the continuing trend of immigration of local educators and professionals to other "higher-paying" countries. Most educators are tempted to move abroad and acquire a high-paying salary and thereby be able to enhance their family's financial well-being. While there are others who choose to stay out of noble intents, it remains inept to service the demands of a developing nation.

which town has the most women with the bigget breasts?

Define: Big as in volume.\nWoman: Real females, over the age of 18.\nTown: geography defined by the post office.\nAdd up the volume, in cubic centimeters, of each individual breast of each woman in the town. Divide by the number of woman in that town. From this you can calulate the town's 'breast factor' (c3/woman).  Order the towns from largest breast factor to smallest breast factor.  The town with the most women with the biggest breasts will be at the top.

It might be easier to find more details on trigger points from a book. But I found this website, http://www.trigger-point-injections.com/index.htm I think it will help you a lot. I personally have a book on trigger points and found it to be very informative. Check your local library. The website has information on where the trigger points are and where the pain radiates to. I hope this helps.


The main hazards of a tornado include extremely high winds, flying debris, and sometimes the associated weather phenomena, such as large hail and heavy rain. The extremely high winds pick up debris, causing seemingly harmless things such as small pieces of styrofoam or wood to become lethal projectiles. The winds can also cause extensive structural damage. The storms associated with tornadoes also bring hazards such as baseball-sized hail and intense rain around the vicinity of the tornado.

is there any sin that is not forgiven,, i mean any,,, murdering kids, sleeping with animals,?

"Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." (Mt 12:31) There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss. \n\nBlasphemy is directly opposed to the second commandment. It consists in uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach, or defiance; in speaking ill of God; in failing in respect toward him in one's speech; in misusing God's name. St. James condemns those "who blaspheme that honorable name [of Jesus] by which you are called." (Jas 2:7) The prohibition of blasphemy extends to language against Christ's Church, the saints, and sacred things. It is also blasphemous to make use of God's name to cover up criminal practices, to reduce peoples to servitude, to torture persons or put them to death. The misuse of God's name to commit a crime can provoke others to repudiate religion. \n\nBlasphemy against the Spirit is the sin of attributing to Satan what is the work of the Spirit of God (See example at Mt 12:24-28) \n\nBlasphemy is contrary to the respect due God and his holy name. It is in itself a grave sin.


on an atomic level, do you suppose gravity is simply the effects of "leaked" atomic binding force?

The atomic binding force you refer to is called strong nuclear force.  The particle that mediates this force is called a gluon.  It is bound to the subatomic quarks that make up matter, and has no strength outside of the nucleus. While the strength of its force inside a nucleon (72 tons per gluon, minimum of three) is massive, its force declines at nucleus level where it can be overcome by weak nuclear force.  Since it is entirely dependant on quarks for its existence, and will only interact with quarks and other gluons, it has no ablility to affect matter at the atomic level.  The effect of gravity on such a small scale, due to the low mass of matter involved, is negligable


you might need to have more foreplay before the actual intercourse.  get your husband to play with you and spend more time turning you on so that your vagina losens up and gets more lubricated.  or you can just use some KY or some other lubricant and tell him to go slowly.


why Balochistan want to be a separet country from Pakistan?

Because they feel they have been marginalized by the Pakistani gov't, that they have been left on the fringes of the economy while other states get wealthier.


Absolutely.  Too many people coming home from church were being killed by drunk drivers, so, once these laws were placed in effect, the numbers dropped dramatically.  If it is that big of a deal to some people, they can just buy some beer on Saturday.


i think that if it is ur thing than go for it..only you have to live with urself and the choices you make..i personally enjoy it..


If you saw someone and you already feel like you love them, put on the brakes!  I know if someone just saw me and told me they loved me, I'd be thinking "STALKER ALERT!"  Just chill out and ask her on a date.  If she likes you, she'll say yes. If not, well......back to the dating pool.  Just don't fall in love so quickly :)

What are some methods for dealing with problems in a group?

Do a search in your library and the web using group dynamics. You'll be bowled over by the amount of research on that topic. There may even be some textbooks on the shelves. If this is a homework assignment and you are a graduate student, shame on you for asking the question here and not doing your own research. You gotta be really lazy not to be able to pull this together on your own. This might be a good place to ask "how have you dealt with such and such a team building problem?" but not getting other people to do your work. I always wonder about the ability of people to be professional and accurate if they rely on Yahoo Answers to do their assignments. By the way, it should be "question."

What can I do to show my to show affection to my lady?

Hold her,Kiss her, tell her much you appreciate her. Make her dinner. Call her just to tell her you love her. Give her affection other than sexual.Touch her hair,rub on her,give her a foot massage.Sometimes it is the little things you do that are the most important.When you walk around hold her hand to show the world and her how much she means to you. When you hold her, hold her tight. Tell her how you feel about her everytime you think about it. She will see the devotion and she'll love it.p.s-don't smother her, that gets scary. I don't know how long you have been with this lady,,but it was nice to see you called her a lady. Treat her like you call her.


just answered a similar question for someone else. I'll paste the answer below. Also...Excedrin now puts out "Excedrin Migraines". I've found that on the rare migraine I get now...it helps a lot! \n\nAnyway, here is how I finally stopped getting migraines so frequently:\n\nMigraines are caused by fluctuating hormones. I've suffered from them terribly! I finally found a doctor who gave me this advice...and it's very rare now that I get them! :)\n\nHe told me to stay away from the following foods for a week before my period is due..and until my period stops:\n\nOnions, caffeine, chocolate, red wine, cheeses, foods with electrolytes and nitrates (such as gatorade, bacon, ham, processed meats), nuts, dried fruit and yogurt.\n\nSounds like there is nothing left to eat..but you manage to find things when the alternate is those AWFUL migraines.\n\nI hope this helps you too

how do I find a list of the best public schools in upstate New York?

Most states have websites specifically for their systems.  Here in NC we have a state website where you can find testing information that will let you see how the schools rank in their test scores.  Most states have something similar.  If you go to the NY site there will at the very least be an email or telephone number where you can contact someone from that system to find out.  Look in my sources...I have included the NY site for you and the NC just in case you want to check it out!  Hope this helps!

Get involved in a group that contains both guys and girls. This way you can be comfortable around your male counterparts, and also get to observe girls up-close. If you play your cards right, you'll be seen as "that shy guy"... which most girls find rather intriguing. Take your time, get to know a girl and realize that she's not a being entirely different than your guy friends. Sure she might be wearing make-up and a skirt... but guys have their own things too.\n\nPerhaps some of your guy friends from engineering know some girls and would be willing to introduce you to them and hang around so you still have someone familiar around.\n\nMainly, just relax, take a deep breath and let what a great guy you are shine through.

It is an old adage. We probably will never know where all the blond jokes started from. We just picked up on what our parents have told us and the blonde jokes we all heard. I do not know why. I agree with you it is not fair. You seem like you are pretty smart and you are deeply hurt. My best advice to you is I know it is hard when you hear the slide remarks but pay no attention and do not pay them any attention. As long as you know different who cares what they think they probably do not know you so how can they judge you.They probably are doing that to hide their imperfections or maybe they are intimidated by you but please keep your head held up high. Remember you are better than that and you are better than them so keep smiling.

Can I take folic acid and still take other vitamin suplements?

Folic acid is commonly inadequate in western diets.  Many countries, including the U.S. have now required that certain common foods be 'fortified' with folic acid (folate) to help compensate for common deficiencies.\n\nFolate is critically important for the prevention of neural tube defects (birth defects such as spina bifida vera), cardiovascular disease, strokes, cancer, etc.  So low or inadequate intakes are a very serious issue.\n\nThere are several common genetic variations in some of the genes that affect folate function in the body (these are called polymorphisms).  Some of these genetic variations require much higher levels of folate for 'normal' functions and proper health.  As many as 10-20% of western populations have these genetic variations and therefore, higher folate requirements.  The leading medical journal "The Lancet" has estimated that some women need more than 11 times the RDA levels of folate to prevent birth defects.\n\nThere is a very important principle in clinical nutrition that few people understand.  Simply stated:  Nutrients Work In Harmony.  You need all of the vitamins, all of the minerals, all of the essential fatty acids, all of the essential amino acids, etc. in the right amounts for proper functioning of the cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the body.  And they need to be working in balance with each other.\n\nFinal and very important note.  Folic acid supplements should never be given without also giving (or at least measuring and monitoring body levels) vitamin B12.  High doses of folate can 'mask' a B12 deficiency.  The masked or hidden B12 deficiency can result in permanent, painful neurologic damage.\n\nI hope you find this helpful.  Be careful about the many 'wild' answers you get on this site.\n\nBest wishes.

Is shingles, herpes zoster, and herpes type II, all the same thing?

For two years I had skin outbreaks on my upper back, both upper arms and upper chest and on the left side of my face. They were insanely itchy and ranged in size from a small spot to the size of a bread and butter plate. For two yrs this was diagnosed as shingles even though all the creams medications and treatments were not working. Ive recently now been diagnosed with Lupus. This skin irritation is Discoid Lupus. There is no cure and its horrible. Sometimes i will not go outside for weeks because the outbreaks look like some dreaded catchy disease and I can imagine what people would think. There could be many things this could be. Plz go see your doctor. Don't leave it n accept one opinion. It could be something quite serious and the earlier its diagnosed the quicker you can get the relevant treatment. Good Luck. Hope its just a minor little problem.

Which also shows me that you are ugly as hell.\n\nFourth . . . I am not into jail bait.


Is it me ... or are institutions <public & private> stuborn on appologizing?

Yes, it's kind of sad these days with all the lawsuits flying around.  But I think those people think of it as "easy money" and I doubt our justice system will ever change much.  We have 10000 warning labels these days just because of random lawsuits and such, such as the labels on irons that say, "Don't iron anything if you're wearing it." :)


what is the laws regrading tasering a minor in solano county?

Is the tasering being done by police by any chance?  If so, I would imagine there were good reason for it.  Example...if there is a person who needs to be subdued for what ever reason and police are in fear that the person is going to do bodily harm to himself or another, I'm sure that they aren't going to have time to ask what the age is before using the taser.  It is non lethal.

It sounds like you are talking about a counselling technique. It would be listening to a clients responses and clarifying them for the client by summarizing major points and clarifying what client is feeling. In doing so you are allowing the client to explore there own feelings and actions without making them defensive because you are not telling them what to do but merely redescribing what they are saying. IT makes them feel they are heard and understood.


My favourites are two or more teams ...... you need a long (not too round) balloon ..... Put the balloon under your neck (no hands used after this) and race to the assigned spot and back and pass the balloon to next family member under their neck and then they race, return and it continues until someone drops the balloon. You can vary it with a rule that if the balloon is dropped you have to return the balloon to the previous person in line and start again from that point..........Also, you can use a potato between your knees and have the same type of race. Yayyyyyyyy for family get-togethers !

whats the difference between idioms and proverbs?

An idiom is an expression (i.e. term or phrase) whose meaning cannot be deduced from the literal definitions and the arrangement of its parts, but refers instead to a figurative meaning that is known only through conventional use. In linguistics, idioms are figures of speech that contradict the principle of compositionality.\n\nA proverb (from the Latin proverbium) is a pithy saying which gained credence through widespread or frequent use. Most proverbs express some basic truth or practical precept. A proverb which describes a basic rule of conduct may also be known as a "maxim". If a proverb is distinguished by particularly good style, it may be known as an aphorism.\n\nProverbs are often borrowed from different languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language

It is somewhat\ncomplicated because it optimizes the sorting of\nshort sequences by switching to an insertion sort.\nHowever, you could implement a simpler version which\nran quicksort all the way to completion.

Start by simply saying hi to her every time you see her.  After awhile if you are near her when you see her bump up against her slightly when you say hi and smile.  Eventually she is going to get the hint that you are interested and then things will start to happen.

what is constipation and how could it be cured for ever lasting?

Drink 5 glasses of water a day.\nEat 5 fruit and veg a day as part of a healthy and well balanced diet.\nExercise more.\nDepression and stress can also effect the lifestyle.\nConsult your doctor with your problem, he can prescribe you laxatives.  Sometimes they ask for stool and blood samples to see if you carry any diseases such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohns Disease etc.\nThese lifestyle changes should bring the constipation to a stop, but it could come back at anytime.

I looked it up on westlaw...it looks like a landlord/tenant case.  the plaintiff, Karagiannis, leased the sixth floor of a building from defendant Malltown.  The lease stated that all "common areas" (shared areas) would be under the control of the lessor (defendant)  When other floors became unoccupied, the defendant stopped service of some of the elevators/escalators that brought people to the sixth floor cafeteria owned by the defendant.  The plaintiff requested an injunction, he wanted people to have access, obviously.  The defendant said it opened up his unoccupied floors to vandalism, etc.  The court held that the defendant needed to resume service immediately.  It looks as though the reason the court gave was that there was an implied promise on the part of the defendant, b/c the plaintiff had been using the services for a year.....there is alot of detail at the end, but I think that sums it up.  If you need more on reasons why, and if this is for a class you probably do, try googling the case, or findlaw.com\n\nGood luck!

I have a rlly bad sore throat what should i do to fix it?

Increase your liquid intake and make sure your house is humidified properly.\nGargle with warm salt water (¼ teaspoon salt to ½ cup water) several times a day.\nDrink a glass of hot water with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some honey. You'll feel better instantly. You can also drink a chamomile tea with lemon and honey added.\nCut a lemon into 2 pieces. Take one piece and put some salt and black pepper on it, press with a knife so that salt-pepper penetrate into the lime. Put the lemon on heat to make it warm.

What is my horoscope?  My birthday is 12/28/1968.?

You have a star spangled year if you simply go with the flow this year. Jupiter, the planet that rains goodies, pops up in the realm of hopes and wishes, making dreams possible. Sometimes you could experience a loss prior to your wish being fulfilled. What occurs is opening a space to make what you desire realities. Key dates around these events are: March 4 and July 6.  Look at the weeks that surround these dates. \n\nSaturn rules your sign. Presently, this planet is traveling through the sign Leo, impacting individual relationships’ assets. Joint finances could very well be the impacted of this transit. You might feel cramped or burdened by someone or something.  The weeks around April 5 and December 5 could be key. \n\nYou have been growing and changing in the last years. You have gained different insights. Many Capricorns are becoming less conservative and more direct. You are actually re-inventing yourself. The weeks around March 29 and September 4 point to areas that need to be transformed. If you are born in the last ten days of your sign, you are most likely to feel this planet’s nudges. \n\nFinances are often a focus of Capricorn’s attentions. Money can, to your surprise, be slipping through your hands while at the same time you are conjuring up wild money schemes. Brain storm with others.  The weeks around May 22 and October 29 could be significant. Remember, you cannot be too careful. \n\nDaily life has an element of unpredictability this year. You will see this pattern evolve especially around June 19 and November 20. This activity will help you stay flexible. Try to eye life’s surprises positively. A new car or computer may very well be in your future. \n\nThis year draws many positive and long wished for experiences especially through late Fall. Don’t sit back. Blow out your candles, and start making wishes, realities.


what is the purpose of the time change we just did?

They say the purpose it to conserve energy. \nBut, we all know it's just to mess everyone up, mess with their minds and their schedules.\n\nSome of these people were a little too happy with their answers. I bet they didn't even change their clocks! ;0)

what r the side effects due to masturbation? one of my ball is longer than the other?

On men, your testicles are always moving to regulate tempreture. If one is hanging lower than the other - this is completely normal and is always the case - don't sweat it. If it is SIGNIFICANTLY lower you may have strained the muscle that moves it - you'll know this from a general ache down there. If this is the case- wear briefs to hold it in place - it may swing too much in boxers - and take an ibuprofin ( anti-inflamitory).\nIf it is not feeling better within 24 hours - see a doctor. \nIf you also have the pain in your body - back/shoulders/knees - check to see if you have a fever. Body aches with fever will cause your testicles to ache and move as far away from the body as possible. Treat witha fever reducer.\nAs for the masturbation - as long as it doesn't impede you from doing things in your life, why fight it? It feels good and your not harming yourself or anyone else. If you've done it so much that you are not ejaculating anything anymore - like over three times in a 24 period - you may have depleted your body's sexual fluids and that can make your balls ache as well. In which case - give it a rest.

What are the main new trends in Marketing? Please explain!!!! this is long question!?

Multi-Level marketing started probably in the 1960's.  The  best known multilevel is Amway, known more recently as Quickstar.  Today, there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of multilevel marketing organizations, from sales of soap to Real Estate Agency.\n\nMultilevel marketing involves a member representing one or more manufacturer's products, hopefully either with an exclusive marketing agreement or with a better price than can be found elsewhere.\n\nThe multilevel marketer makes money two ways: direct sales and through signing up other multilevel marketers.  Sometimes the new member pays an initiation fee to join, and the signing member (usually called the sponsor) gets a portion of this initiation fee.  Sometimes a member pays a membership fee (monthly, annually, etc.) and the sponsoring member gets a portion of that fee.\n\nCommissions and bonuses are paid upon the some portion (less than or equal to 100%) of the total volume of sales that occurs in the organization of those people that the sponsor signed up (called his DOWNLINE.)\n\nOK, so why do people want to do this?\n\n1 - Low cost of entry vs. starting a traditional business.  Normally a member can get going in the business for a few hundreds of dollars, either in initiation or membership fees, or in purchasing product which is to be resold.\n\n2 - The best reason to be in a multilevel marketing system is that it can produce recurring income (called residual income.)  Residual income occurs not because of a member's efforts, but on the efforts of those below him in his organization.  Just like the CEO of General Electric is paid when he is on vacation, the MLM member is paid when not working, because his organization is working on his behalf.\n\nIn order to get residual income of $500 per month from a stock investment, I would generally need $100,000 or more invested (at 6%, I would be able to draw $500 a month on the investment, without touching the principal.)  In a multilevel marketing organization, a member often can get to the $500 per month in residual income within a few months to a year.\n\nSo, with a minimal investment in money, and a large investment in time and effort, a business with a good residual income can be built in short order.\n\nWant to see a MLM offering?

DO you think that age limits for success in the NFL are fading, and why do people still age discriminate?

I'm a pro player. 29 years old and been in the league for 9 years. When you turn 30, it is a belief that they player loses some coordination and becomes expendable. Also, the contracts that we sign are back loaded. When they get to the end of the deal, their salary cap number becomes so high, they have to sever ties and rely on a younger player with less experience to fill the void. It is a rough business to make a living in. It is especially tough on families. I've moved twice and it is nerve racking. Then, on the flipside, some NFL teams love the older players and they find a home for another 3 to 6 years. Its a growing trend but that is the NFL.


does possession come gradually? what are the symptoms?

If this is more than ordinary uncertainty...or "spooking yourself" it will get progressively worse...Have you recently engaged in any questionable occult activities or met people that are such? This is no small thing....things just start falling apart...Fear rises and fuels more things.. Get away... If you have ever known Jesus Christ in a personal way turn back to Him now...If not, He is the only One that has more authority than these destructive forces of darkness in this earthly domain. Call on His Name Now. He will respond as a Deliverer and Savior. He is brave and able. He cares. Call on Him....right now.

My parents are big smokers and i have tried everything to get them to quit. Any ideas?

Have you tried telling them that smoking will lead to CO PD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and that you don't want to "watch them die".  I went through that with both my mom and dad and had to watch both of them die a horrible death.  Try being "honest" and tell them you don't think it's fair for them to put you through watching them "die" from something they are doing by choice!  Good luck to you, however it turns out.  I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone!  If you want, print my answer out and show it to them!  I've been there, what you are going to have to go through if they don't stop!  Good luck, and God Speed, no matter how it turns out.

Air masses are often formed in regions of low relief and calm wind that prevents turbulent mixing that allows the air to take on the conditions of the surface over which it forms.


My Son is 14, and the coach has him pitching a lot. Should he ice his arm after every game?

yes, but only up to 20 minutes at a time with at least a minimum of 1 hour in between icing periods, if he has pain after icing for a prolonged time then it may be time to see an orthopedic.  Anything strenuous on joints should be taken care of and icing is part of injury prevention, ask any certified trainer or orthopedic and they can tell you icing after throwing or running or strenuous activity is good to help reduce swelling that occurs.  It doesn't matter how many times he throws in a given day or how hard, joints take a beating and throwing a baseball is not a natural movement for your arm that is why so many pitchers require surgery.  ask an ortho or a athletic trainer and they can tell you what i just said, ice ice ice after everything you do, knees elbows, shoulders, ice ice ice.  but not any longer than 20 min.


can someone please explain how a cryo microtome works??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtome\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_section_procedure\n\nusing a microtome is a method to cut e.g. biological tissue into very thin slices, much thinner than you could possibly do with a knife. In order to prepare your tissue for cutting it has to be hardened, either by fixation or freezing. If it is by freezing, you also would use a microtome which is sitting basically in a deep freezer to keep the tissue frozen while sectioning (cryomicrotome)


Can concentrated "neutron star" matter exist in the absence of high gravity?

one of the properties of a neutron star (as far as i can tell) is that the electrons and the protons are so tightly packed that they form in to neutrons. But they are not bound together like they are in the nucleus of an atom.  \n\nThere is actualy a great statmech problem where you are suposed to calulate the radius of a neutron star using only the pauli exclution principle (basicly that fermions have the tendency to repell each other)\n\nat the moment there are two known things that are even denser... a black hole for one, and the neuclus of an atom. \n\nIf there was a free existing small part of a black hole, it would just explode in a matter of moments (~10^-14 sec i think).  as for a neutron star they would also fly appart because for the pauli exclution principle.  But if we have a huge mass of protons and neutron we would have a very very very very heavy atom.  It would attract electrons just like a normal atom.  But it would decay in just moments(problably very violently).   \n\nIt can be made, but it would exist in such small quantity and for so short of a time that it would seemingly have no properites

Why is it so hard to find a good part-time job to gain experience while attending college?

Does your resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what you want to do. An objective of finding an interesting job goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding a sales job where I can utilize my strong interpersonal skills gets kicked over to the sales dept. Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

have you or are you gonna see the movie UNITED 93??

To anyone who HAS NOT SEEN UNITED 93 and is opening their big mouth about United 93 and saying negative stuff about it:\n\nThis move WAS NOT MEANT TO ENTERTAIN! - If you have seen it you would know this. You dont know what you are talking about. \n\n10% of the opening weekend have been donated to the families of those who died on this plane, thats a lot of money, more than you donated I'm sure, which is probably nothing. I did my part by watching the movie, which 10% of my ticket sales will go to the families and the memorial fund, I know it is not a lot, but multiply that by every one else who did their part and went and saw the movie, and it totaled to $1.15 million, not to mention i told everyone I know to go see the movie too. A donation fund has been organized to accept donations from individuals and companies, with a goal to raise $30 million. \n\nAll of the family members approved the movie, and in fact helped by provideing detailed information about their loved one who died on the plane so they could accurately be portrayed, and not by some hollywood star either, they were layed by no name actors, just regular joes. \n\nThe movie was fantastic! And it reveals truths that needed to be revealed. It asks Americans the question, Are you going to forget? I hear people saying we need to forget about it and move on, what a ridiculous thing to say! Will you be saying that when we are attacked again, but this time with a small WMD that has been smuggled in throught the mexican border and detonated at the capitol, or a major metropolis? When 500,000 die because of this, will you be saying that forgetting about the first attack benefitted us? C'mon, get real! \n\nIts going to happen again, and it will be a lot easier for it to happen, if we keep trying to forget about the first attack and move on with our lives, eating at mcdonalds, watching seinfield, and driving our cars fueled by blood oil. \n\nI dont mean to offend anyone it just makes me so upset to hear such things said. I think you would be saying something a little different if it was your loved one who had died on that flight. You would want them to be rememebered and their memorial to be honored, you would not be saying forget about it, move on, its too soon, blah, blah, blah . . . Have some freakin respect. \n\nThose on that plane saved 1,000's of lives because of what they did, and this is their tribute, and a worthy tribute it is, and done by a fantastic film crew, director and cast. \n\nWhat a ridiculous thing to say. \n\nSo, if you would rather continue living in your bubble and watching movies like RV(?) which grossed $5 million more that UNited 93, or Stick it, Scary movie 4, Silent hill, and you feel these movies are so much more worthy of your money and recognition, then go ahead and continue to live in your safe little world, but dont knock a literal work of art like UNited 93, which any of those other movies dont even compare by a long shot.\n\nOh, and by the way, we do know a lot about what happend on that plane because of the 30 or so phone calls that were made by people ON THE PLANE to their family memebers, who openly told of their conversations, and by the 30 or so minutes of recording from the cockpit. C'mon, peoplea are saying we dont really know what happened on that plane!? Nonsense, we know a lot more than we know about what happened on the other planes.\n\nOne more thing, sorry so long, but making movies isnt all about the money. I know in most instances it is for the studio paying for the production of the movie, but many directors have this thing called, um, passion, they want to tell stories that need to be told, storeis that they belive in, and think others will believe in too. So I guess paintings from the renaisance should be burned because they depict the crusifixion of christ, and books telling or world war two should be burned because they tell of the halocaust (but we dont know what happened there either, right?!) So you a

it is said that nothing travels faster than light . so according to big bang?

This period of "inflation" is one of the big mysteries in cosmology right now.  We have a pretty good idea that something like it happened, but we don't really know how or why.  The timing of the period of inflation fits with the timing of any grand unified theory breaking down, so it may be a result of a symetry breaking of the universe.\n\nThe theories are getting better, but inflation is still one of the toughest topics to try and get a handle on, as the timescales and energies really are at (and even) over the hairy edge of what we know and can comfortably call physics.

oftenly we use IQ to measure people's intellegence.\nwhy are some people smarter than others??\n\n1. Genetics \nThe role of genes and environment (nature vs. nurture) in determining IQ is reviewed in Plomin et al. (2001, 2003). The degree to which genetic variation contributes to observed variation in a trait is measured by a statistic called heritability. Heritability scores range from 0 to 1, and can be interpreted as the percentage of variation (e.g. in IQ) that is due to variation in genes. Twins studies and adoption studies are commonly used to determine the heritability of a trait. Until recently heritability was mostly studied in children. These studies yield an estimate of heritability of 0.5; that is, half of the variation in IQ among the children studied was due to variation in their genes. The remaining half was thus due to environmental variation and measurement error. A heritability of 0.5 implies that IQ is "substantially" heritable. Studies with adults show that they have a higher heritability of IQ than children do and that heritability could be as high as 0.8, though it is probably not this high. The American Psychological Association's 1995 task force on "Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns" concluded that within the White population the heritability of IQ is “around .75” \n\nConsiderable research has focused on biological correlates of g; see General intelligence factor and the section on brain size below. For example, general intelligence and MRI brain volume measurements are correlated, and the effect is primarily determined by genetic factors.\n\n\n2. Environment\nEnvironmental factors play a large role in determining IQ in extreme situtations. Proper childhood nutrition appears critical for cognitive development; malnutrition can lower IQ. Other research indicates environmental factors such as prenatal exposure to toxins, duration of breastfeeding, and micronutrient deficiency can affect IQ. In the developed world, there are some family effects on the IQ of children, accounting for up to a quarter of the variance. However, by adulthood, this correlation disappears, so that the cognitive ability of adults living in the prevailing conditions of the developed world is highly heritable.\n\nNearly all personality traits show that, contrary to expectations, environmental effects actually cause adoptive siblings raised in the same family to be as different as children raised in different families (Harris, 1998; Plomin & Daniels, 1987). Put another way, shared environmental variation for personality is zero, and all environmental effects are nonshared. Intelligence is actually an exception to this rule, at least among children. The IQs of adoptive siblings, who share no genetic relation but do share a common family environment, are correlated at .32. Despite attempts to isolate them, the factors that cause adoptive siblings to be similar have not been identified, though it could be related to parents choosing the type of children they will adopt. However, as explained below, shared family effects on IQ disappear after adolescence.\n\nActive genotype-environment correlation, also called the "nature of nurture", is observed for IQ. This phenomenon is measured similarly to heritability; but instead of measuring variation in IQ due to genes, variation in environment due to genes is determined. One study found that 40% of variation in measures of home environment are accounted for by genetic variation. This suggests that the way human beings craft their environment is due in part to genetic influences.


Rawlings' RSS Seam-Sealed basketball was introduced in 1948 and has been a best seller ever since.  Laced basketballs were still on the market at this time but were declining in popularity.\n\nThe rules on the construction of the ball were changed in 1949 to require a ball with leather cover of the molded type in which the leather panels were not stitched together, but "cemented to the spherically molded fabric which surrounds on air-tight rubber lining."\n\nSo in a nutshell rules prohibited the use of laced basketballs in 1949.


please provide me list websites to improve my personal life,professional life & financial condition?

I strongly suggest getting a copy of "7 Habits of highly effective people" and check out their site: "http://www.franklincovey.com/"\n\nWhat I like about Dr. Stephen covey's work is that he promotes a balanced model of self-development... i.e. by making one thing better in your life, you are not putting another in danger. He has a more "long-term" perspective.\n\nThere are also many other quacks out there. Some of them are rather very effective sometimes - but they don't have a fail-proof model. I won't say Dr. Covey is completely fail-proof either, but nearly so. His advice is tested and true.\n\nFrom your question it seems to me that you not just want to excel professionally, you want to be a better person and a human being overall. This is great, because I have worked as the head of HR at one point, and I have seen people who apparantly have it all, but still cry in desperation (seen some real tears). I diagnosed the cause to be ill-balanced life, and actually that's when I first consulted 7 Habits the book - which I had earlier avoided as quackery. It's not.\n\nI won't say more. I hope you find what you are looking for, and be successful. Amen.

the maximum amplitude is 10 times square root of 2. if the first wave is a sine wave, then any wave shifted by 90 degrees is the same as a cosine wave. so you have to find the maximum value of sin x + cos x. to find the maximum value of a function, set its derivative equal to zero, so you get cos x - sin x = 0. this is true when x = 45 degrees and sin x = cos x = 1 / square root of 2. when you add the two, you get square root of 2, which you multiply by the initial amplitude.

Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism.\n\nThe severity of hypothyroidism varies widely. Patients are classified as "subclinical hypothyroid" if diagnostic findings show thyroid hormone abnormalities, but they do not exhibit any symptoms. Others have moderate symptoms that can be mistaken for other diseases and states. Advanced hypothyroidism may cause severe complications, the most serious one of which is myxedema.

Your body uses Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) as you primary energy source especially when lifting very heavy, there are other energy systems but in regards to creatine i will limit this answer.\n\nWhey you perform you're repetitions the ATP breaks off into ADP (Adenosine Diphospate) this is when you get your energy burst which allows your muscle fibers to contract. When you get low on ATP/ADP your body will grab some of the naturally occuring creatine from your cells and throw them in with the ADP for the energy burst.\n\nSo by taking creatine as a suppliment you will improve upon your performance allowing you to eventually lift heavier weight and or for longer periods of time.
