What are the best on-line resources for news on Internet and esp Search Engines?

The best mix I've found is Yahoo.  Google is a great search engine but they don't really have anything else.  I think that's much of the appeal for some people.  I recommend Yahoo for a good mix.  They let you comment and vote on their news stories so you can discuss them with other people online.  Other than that I recommend you diversify and read more than one source of news since they're all jaded and bias.

How do you gain fats and get fit in a short period of time?

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n \nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit.


Anyone see the old Wes Craven film, "Last House on the left"?

After "Last House", she made 4 more highly exploitative and forgettable films, "The Filthiest Show in Town", and 3 others in which she is billed under her birth name, Sandra Peabody.  Anyway, the other 3 movies were, "Teenage Hitch-hikers", "Legacy of Satan" and "Massage Parlor Hookers".\n\nAs of 2002 she was reported to be a drama teacher and television producer. With movies like that, can you blame her?


If a husband has been betrayed by his partner, who had an online affair (strictly online, not in person), ...?

A disinterested person will say that nothing really happened. An online affair is just like chatting and does not mean a thing. But for the parties involved, it is a big blow to the relationship. Not because fo the affair but moreso the lies, and deception involved. Since communication seem to be the main issue, I strongly suggest that they get a marriage councellor to help them out as one party seems to be stubborn to all attempts to reconcile.

In baseball, why does the catcher have to throw the batter out at first base on a third strike when he drops?

It is because the catcher - and not the pitcher - is actually given the credit for the putout when a strikeout occurs. If the catcher drops the ball or the ball gets by him/her, then the catcher must complete the play - tag the runner or throw to first -  to get the putout other wise it is not a put out although the pitcher is credited with a strikeout. A strikeout is not a putout. GO figure.


what is the nature and importance of the new australian parliament immigration restriction act?

It preserves the stability of the existing ethnic mix, at least for the time being.\n\nMore could be said, but to what purpose?  If you think about it, this is really an advantage for all existing people there.\n\nIt has been merciless to refugees en route from Afghanistan and other places, but the reality is accepting these would invite an endless stream.\n\nAustralia actually has limited habitable space, water and many other limited resources.  It is already strained in many ways.\n\nI hope you can think of what I have left out.  Problems are not solved by exporting them to new places, thus far relatively untarnished.\n\nEspecially when the list of difficulties is already long enough.


Where can I find someone to chat with about hating San Antonio or Texas in general?

Well Sweety, we're not all bad here. In fact, we're generally pretty friendly. I'm in Houston and I'm not thrilled with San Antonio but don't slam the whole state. We're not all the same.

Folks on this site are the best no matter where they're from. I love the people here. They're so supportive and kind.

If you need a friend, I'm here for you.

if we dont keep physical realation with bf then wht happen.?

If your boyfriend is used to having sex with you, and you stop giving him sex, he will probably leave.  Maybe you should try asking him out on dates since he isn't doing it, or just breakup since you don't seem very happy.  Maybe the 3rd time will be the charm.  (It took me 5 tries to find the right one)

Um...Where to start. Your spelling and grammar needs work. Your thoughts are random and having nothing to do with your subject matter. You eventually didn't do any research on your chosen animal. My advice would be to scrap your paper and start all over again, but this time do some research first. Here this link might help you out.


I think I know what you are saying... it has been my thought too... but with a different final conclusion....life can be hell..we can all go through persecution and our own battles of armagedon. It feel like god has left us....\n\nthe scripture also says he who endures to the end will be saved.. it also says to the church of smyrna (church of martyrs) and the church of philadelphia (weak, suffering but faithful) that they will be kept from the hour of temptation that will come upon all the earth.  The marytyrs will already be dead, and the philadephians will be raptured. Everyone else in the church will have to go through their own tribulation, and be tested, since they avoided it earlier.\n\nSo my viewpoint is that if we are willing to go through tribulation for our faith now, we will be spared from the great tribulation that is to come in the near future. Everyone has to be tested for their faithfulness...\n\nif you are suffering now, your hope is in your heavenly reward to come, and the promise that you will be taken out before the world plunges into total wickedness.


The Ultimate Question! Why do we yawn and why are they infectious?

Yawning, like laughter, can be infectious. As to why this should be, there is little hard evidence, although yawning may be an arousal response that arose early in evolution and whose aim is to improve oxygenation of brain tissue and increase alertness, with a view to enhanced survival. In social groupings, the sight of one member yawning might act as a signal to cause other members to yawn - in some way the yawn is a warning that attention is slipping and the group may be at risk…\n\nResearch into the physiology and pathology of yawning appears to be quite limited. However, I have come across a couple of useful references. The first gives a general description of what happens when we yawn:\n\n"Yawning is a response to a wide variety of stimuli, including sleepiness and an awakening from sleep, hunger, boredom, nervousness, and intracranial disease. It is infectious, occurs more frequently in the newborn, and is likely to be more vigorous (especially the accompanying stretch) in early morning than late at night."\n\n"A yawn consists of an expansion of the chest, descent of the diaphragm and larynx, elevation of the ala nasi and soft palate, downward and backward movement of the tongue, abduction of the vocal cords, wide opening of the mouth, contraction of the tensor veli palatini muscle, closing of the eyes, lacrimation, pulling the head backwards, stretching of the upper arms sideward and the lower arms upward, and, less frequently, stretching of the legs. Vasoconstriction in the digits and cardiac acceleration have also been found to accompany the yawn. The whole act occupies 5 to 10 seconds, most of which time is spent in the inspiratory phase."\n\n"Although yawning certainly is an effective way of fully expanding the lungs and increasing the venous return to the heart, its psychic implications are also of great interest. The author finds that merely writing this is a potent stimulus towards yawning, and perhaps the reader is similarly stimulated." (Fenn and Rahn 1964)\n\nA good review of yawning is provided by Askenasy (1989), and the points that follow are derived from this source. Apparently, yawning movements have been observed in fetuses as early as the 15th week after conception, and continue to occur sporadically throughout the remainder of pregnancy. The newborn baby yawns a few minutes after birth. The frequency of yawning gradually diminishes as the baby matures\n\n\nSeveral causes of yawning are discussed in the review:\n\n psychological - this includes boredom, drowsiness, fatigue, separation, imitation, and autosuggestion \n\n hormonal - ACTH and MSH \n\n neurological - various brain pathologies including coma, encephalitis, hypoxia, and neoplasms \n\n psychiatric - for example schizophrenia, psychosis, depression and withdrawal \n\n general pathologies - ear disorders, gastric and biliary disorders, and motion sickness \n\n drug overdose - for example naloxone, valproate, imipramine, clomipramine, seratonin, and pentobarbital \n\n drug withdrawal - from heroin, morphine, lefetamine, methadone, and pentazocin.


I really like the South Beach diet. If you don't eat fish or red meat then it does make it more difficult to follow. Do you eat chicken and turkey? That would help out some.\n\nThe South Beach diet has a lot of variety, it has very good recipies, and it is a kind of plan that you can eat the rest of your life. \n\nThere is a diet book and a recipe book which both have lots of good recipes. Check it out at a bookstore or your local library.

(m)\n\nAs the sun begins to set, the light must travel farther through the atmosphere before it gets to you. More of the light is reflected and scattered. As less reaches you directly, the sun appears less bright. The color of the sun itself appears to change, first to orange and then to red. This is because even more of the short wavelength blues and greens are now scattered. Only the longer wavelengths are left in the direct beam that reaches your eyes\n\nThe sky around the setting sun may take on many colors. The most spectacular shows occur when the air contains many small particles of dust or water. These particles reflect light in all directions. Then, as some of the light heads towards you, different amounts of the shorter wavelength colors are scattered out. You see the longer wavelengths, and the sky appears red, pink or orange

Jaguars do not hibernate.\n\n"The jaguar's habitat ranges from the rain forests of South and Central America to marshy and even desert terrain in Mexico, but they are rarely seen in mountainous regions. The jaguar's wide range means that it should not be in danger of extinction in the foreseeable future. The species has declined numbers in some areas due to habitat loss, especially in rain forests and grassland turned into cropland and hunting for their pelts.\n\nKnown for their strong swimming abilities, the jaguar is one of the few cats besides tigers that enjoy water. They often prefer to live by rivers, swamps, and in dense forest with thick cover for stalking prey. They are the largest carnivore in the Western Hemisphere. Jaguars, on rare occasions, are seen as far north as the southwestern United States, particularly in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. In the early 1900s, the jaguars' range actually extended as far north as southern California and western Texas. As recently as 2004, wildlife officials in Arizona have photographed and documented jaguars in the southern parts of the state. Presently it is unclear whether recent sightings indicate whether there is a permanent population developing in the Southwest or that these cats are simply transients straying over the border from Sonora, Mexico. However, jaguars are a protected species in the United States under the Endangered Species Act and are considered nongame, therefor making it illegal to shoot a jaguar for its pelt. Fossils of jaguars from as far north as Missouri confirm these cats inhabited much of the Southern U.S. during prehistoric times. These prehistoric jaguars were signifigantly larger than the jaguars of today."

apple's MAC and windows PC - why need MAC?

1)Reliability.  Macs have the lowest out of the box failure rate of all companies.\n\n2)Support.  Apple support is far superior to any support from any other company. If  I have a problem with my Mac, I go on the internet, schedule an appointment at the genius bar at the nearest Apple store, Go there and an Apple Genius fixes it right before your very eyes and if I have questions, the questions get answered.  I do not sit on the phone on hold for hours and then end up with a person who speaks English poorly at best.\n\n3) Vista ( the next release of Windows OS) has  many MAC OS X like features because OS X is clearly a better, friendlier operating system.  Oh, BTW, The next version of Mac OS will be out months before Vista, putting MS behind once again.\n\n4)Apple controls it machine configurations, the software is tested on specific hardware.  It is optimized for that hardware.  Windows has a wider variety of hardware to pick from,  and it is called Plug n Pray for a reason and that is it may not really be as easy to install as one thinks it would be.\n\nWindows might be needed because some of the companies don't write for the Mac OS, because the customer base is not as large. I have only found 1 program that I want that is Windows only and I found a suitable substitute.  Many people are concerned about gaming on the Mac, but hey, do you want a good stable reliable computer with great service or a violent game?\n\nMore and more people are buying Apples with a good reason, they are easier to use and more reliable.  You may spend a few dollars more upfront but you get what you pay for.  \n\nIn 2005 Apple won notebook of the year, desktop of the year and server of the year. I think that says it all! Oh and don't forget the iPod!

The gases move in and out by the process of diffusion.\n\nYou're right, the earthworm uses its skin to exchange gases.  As long as the earthworm's skin is moist, gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide can passively diffuse accross its skin.  This is why an earthworm will die if its skin dries out.  Beleive it or not, we also rely on the process of diffusion to exchange gases.  When we breathe air deep into our lungs, gases diffuse accross the thin, moist surfaces of our lung tissues.  Once a gas like oxygen diffuses into the earthworm, the circulatory system carries it (and other substances too, such as nutrients) to cells within the earthworm's body.  The circulatory system also allows the earthworm to transport waste products from the its cells to the outside environment.  For example, carbon dioxide produced by the earthworm's cells is transported through the circulatory system to the skin, where it can then diffuse out into the earthworm's surroundings.

I mean really look at things  find those shapes in the clouds  do something to recapture your sense of wonder \n\nWhen you want to just stop doing something, get creative find a new goal to use with it or see just how expert youc an become at it, do something to help you stick to something for more than a short time.\n\nStop and write down a list of all your blessings. You have access to the internet and are well and healthy enough to come here and post should start you off and you search your life for the rest.  When you finish your list you will discover you have much more than you thought and it will help you want to accomplish more which should get a spark going in you again.  Remember nothing difficult is ever easy.  work at it and soon it won't take work.


I have A LOT of experience with this. I do not have OCD but my husband does and his has to do with such thoughts and horrible feelings of guilt. We are also devoted Christians and church members. He gets through most of it with a lot of support from his family and with professional therapy. This is not something that is going to just go away you have to work on it every day. First you have to know that when Jesus died on the cross he didn't say ok I forgive every one but you. You deserve it just as much as anyone else. Even He forgave those who put him on the cross. You need to pray and be thankful of this everyday. Speak to God as your constant companion in everything you do and you feel the difference. He is your Father and loves you as such. Second try to find a counselor you are comfortable with that you can express you thoughts and feelings to so you can stop the cycle of thoughts roaring in your head. It also helps if you can write them down, make sure you write all of them down. You don't ever have to read them again and you can destroy the pages if you like but you should still write down your thoughts. \n\nFinally and this is important, we learned after several years of bad doctors and wrong medications that a heart condition can cause and worsen this problem. Its called mitral valve prolapse and it messes up the autonomic system so that your chemistry is never normal. You should be check out for this as your heart can get worse with time and sometimes a beta blocker used for high blood pressure can help with your thoughts. Until you do get your heart checked out be sure to stay away from any mental health drugs because this condition also alters their effects.\n\nMy husband and I have been dealing with this for 13 years, we have two children and he is making it through it just fine. Feel free to contact me anytime just click on my profile.

For each, you have to calculate the number of moles needed from the volume and the final molarity:\n\nFor potassium iodine:\nV= 400ml= 0.4L\nM= 0.2M= 0.2 moles/L\n\n#moles KI required = 0.4L * 0.2moles/L= 0.08moles KI\n\nYou can then calculate the mass of KI needed by using the #moles calculated above and the molecular weight of KI\n\nMW of KI= 166 g/mole\n\n# grams KI required = 0.08 moles KI required * 166g/mole\n# grams KI required = 13.28g KI required\n\nYou calculate the answer for FeCl3 in the same manner.  I think you can handle it from here.

What is Laos culture and what is the condition of the country in the new millenium and where is it headed?

It would be best for you to consult the embassy of Laos to educate yourself.


Yes, there has to be.  The universe is immense with many galaxies, and many suns.  There must be a lot of similar planets out there somewhere, why should there be only Earth with life?  We might never meet any extraterrestrials, probably aren't supposed to, which could explain the vast distances.  Some other beings exist now, or were extinct eons ago, or are yet to be.  I think they are a lot like us, not made of electricity or silicon, or in only two dimensions like some sci fi.


does the sun seem to cast a different brighter light? more of a white light than yellow? if so why..?

You guys got a lot of it, but the sun is actually green. The atmosphere absorbs much of the light to make it more of a yellowish white light. Pollution and the ozone layer trap and absorb the green light that the sun produces. Then you see what you see. (were you looking at the sun??? :)

How can I get a temp restraining orded served that I was awarded and it came back citing no address ?

Well, is there a good reason that you might have had a warrant issued for your arrest? If it were me, I would call the courthouse and ask them if there is a warrant. \n\nLet me say this first. The way he handled this leads me to think he is lying about the warrant. If it were true, why would he warn you? No, he wouldn't. It is a childish attempt at scaring you. I would add it to your complaint that he is harrasing your friends to harrass you.\n\nAs for serving him with the papers? Do you know where he works? Ask if they will serve him at work.

What is the best way to cope with entering a particularly rigorous highschool after a weak 8th grade?

the very fact that you are asking this question means that you are far more prepared than you think. my advice to you, is, if your school is large enough such that you have a choice in your teachers, find out who the best teachers are and take their classes. also, if your high school is decent, they will have some kind of advisory program. get to know your advisor, and your teachers. when they see how motivated you are and how concerned you are with your own progress, they will bend over backwards to help you.

Which group do you believe is the group of death and who will go through and why?

It is Group E definitely.  I truly hope that it will be Italy and the US going through, but I think the Czech's will dominate and it will come down to goal differential between Italy and the US with Italy winning the differential.  It breaks my heart to have to admit it, but I don't think the US can get through.\n\nGroup C is a close second though.  The Ivory Coast may pull an upset and knock out a big boy like Argentina or the Netherlands and cause an upset in the group, though I don't belive the Ivory Coast will make it through.

if you are traveling at speed of light what will happen when you turn on your headlights?

OK, traveling at light speed is impossible, just as Einstein proposed when he said that light speed is a limit speed.  However in the fiction part of it, lets assume you are traveling in a space shift at that speed, then nothing happened and you would see the light bulb as if you were traveling at a lower speed, that is because of relativity. You both are traveling at the same speed, so the relative speed between you and the light bulb is zero.  I hope this helps you and I'm adding a link so you can study a little bit more on those subjects.

Does colon hydro-therapy really help you lose weight?

The word hydro should be an alarm to you. This is just a scam. Of course you could lose the weight, but it would be water weight (hydro - get it?) and you would gain it right back if you didn't die. You need water in your body to live.\nDiet and exercise. There's no other way.


Depends on what is wrong with you. But if you don't have some kind of a big defect, you can be handsome only if you believe it. You must feel beautiful and then girls will see that in you. It's all about self confidence! And of course buying the right clothes. But I first look at the face and hair of the boys. So make sure you are clean! And smile a lot. That's all I can say, for starters.

How do you tell if a guy isn't marriage minded?

Well, I don't mean to be critical but I think you may be thinking too materialistically. Just because a guy has a sports car or a one bedroom condo doesn't mean that he isn't ready to be married. What kind of place do you live in, what kind of car do you drive? I'm sure every guy that is truely ready for marriage is not all set up w/ a mini van and a 3bdrm house. They like us are just waiting for the right person to come along. My advice...get to know the guy before judging him. Good luck:)


bill collector calling everyday.told when i would make mayment. how to stop the calling?

The previous answer is untrue. \nAs per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if you TELL them to cease and desist from calling you, it is usually sufficient. If not, you'll need to put your request in writing, and you're well within your rights to do so. If you owe them money, that's one thing, but they don't have a right to call and harass you. Continued calling after you've advised them to stop constitutes harassment.\nIf you still have problems, even after putting your request in writing, contact the FTC.\nI pray that your financial situation improves, too. :)

What do measurements mean when it comes to bicycles? Some are 16 inch, some are 19 inch, etc.?

Bike frame measurements are taken from the center of the crankset to the top of the seat tube (C-T) or to the center of the seat tube (C-C).  Which size you need depends on the particular frame geometry (straight or sloping top tube), your leg length, and whether the bike is for road or mountain.  Also to be considered is the top tube length.  This is important as different people with the same leg length may have different torso lengths.

Is there any scientific basis for the expression "under the weather"?

Some scientists believe that the weather affects humans much more than we realise in much the same way as it does animals. We already know about S.A.D. ( Seasonal affected disorder) which makes a sufferer feel depressed when not receiving enough sunlight which helps the body to produce vitamin D. Symptoms include lethargy , lack of appetite and generally feeling low and disinterested. Some people are particularly susceptible to magnetism and static caused by storms and suffer from a wide range of symptoms such as feeling nervous and jumpy before a storm and headaches and nausea.\nThis expression has been around for a number of years so I imagine that because people lived closer to nature years ago they had a greater understanding of this phenomenon and that's probably where the saying emerged.

how can i stop my wife from abusing drugs and alcohol?

First of all, allow me to share my sympathy for you and your wife. I can tell that you’re a caring person and that’s part of maintaining a stable relationship for any period of time. From what I’ve gathered from your story, it seems that you truly care a whole lot about your wife and what could happen if this problem is not stopped, and you need advice handling the issue. \nSecondly, if you stop caring for her she will only get worse. People that become addicted to drugs and alcohol usually have their reasons behind the substance abuse. Since this all started before you came along, you must talk to her and find out when she started abusing drugs and why. She needs to know that you care and love her. I suggest calling a drug abuse councilor and scheduling an appointment with her to get the help that she needs. Don’t let her start a program and quit, you must encourage her in every way possible and keep an eye out for symptoms of withdraws/cravings from substance so she wont be in a situation where she has no control.\nI’m 18 years old but have had psychical addictions to pills since I was about 12. Amphetamines (adderall) are dangerous and it took a really special friend to show me I was killing myself and letting my family down every day. Finally I got off of everything and remain clean for the last 5 months or so. But back to your wife, I really wish you and her the best of luck and PLEASE feel FREE to contact me with ANY questions, comments, or to ask my opinion! Hope to hear back, please inform me how everything goes!\nwebmaster@techbrian.com


Wasn't it hilarious when Tony Sorprano was hanging out with the rappers?

I don't watch the Sopranos, but it makes perfect sense, because the Mafia and the Black Thug (criminal) community have a weird  mutual dependency on one another. You see some rappers hailing John Gotti as a hero. And the Mob needs it's, "Salesmen" and "mussel" to take care of things at street level. It is weird, because racially speaking, if you took the crime and $$ out of the picture they'd never speak to one another.

It's not that the USA is overrated.  Nobody knows how good they actually are.  They came out of nowhere last World Cup.  They're basically a somewhat talented team that hasn't proven if they have what it takes to win consistantly yet or not.  My prediction is that Italy chokes and the USA takes second in their group.

why the international community is ignoring the Somali plight?

There was a time when the US did intervene in the Somali tragedy, and had done some amazing things helping people. However, the war lords who caused the problem were unwilling to have the people freed from their oppression and they assassinated a large number of peace keeping soldiers from Pakistan, also a Muslim nation. Then, in an effort to create order, eight American servicemen were murdered. In all this, the Somali people continued to tolerate the war lords and did nothing to try to aid the outside help from the US and the world.\n\nThe Somali people have betrayed those who would have helped them more than enough. It is not that the world will not help the Somali people, but the Somali people will do nothing to allow others to help them.

How does a particle accelerator work and how do you build one?

Any charged particle, like a proton or an electron is accelerated in an electrical field. One can make an electrical field by applying a large voltage differential between two electrical plates. Old cathode tubes televisions work like this: electrons are accelerated inside the tube and hit the screen. So chances are you have already an accelerator at home.\n\nAt CERN or Fermilab the particles are accelerated in mile wide rings. Therefore the encounter the same accelerating electrical field over and over. After millions of rounds they build up speeds close to the speed of light.

Not going to happen.  You'll only lose water weight and it can make you sick.  There's no way to lose weight from specific body parts, you have to do cardio to help shed pounds all over and then toning exercises to develop and tighten the muscles in your stomach and legs.  It usually takes about a month to start seeing results.  If you have some event you're going to and want to look sleek, try one of those body shapers.  They are an easy way to reduce bulges in all the wrong places.  It's almost like losing weight in five minutes!


Probably could, but there is a small chance you'll get bent doing it.  Is it worth the risk?  Keep this in mind:  Helicopters, when transporting divers, cruise at a ceiling of 50'.  That is as high as they're willing to go.  \n\nChanges in altitude are very dangerous after diving and should be done cautiously.

why you people call it football while you play it by your hands?

when football was first invented it was similar to soccer and rugby, the early games where played by using a variety of techniques to score, a drop kick like what we saw doug flutie this year attempt on a extra point was rampent in the early years of the sport.  drop kicks were used so much in the early days and were worth two points.  most teams would settle on a drop kick to get points easily, but then the ball was more round like a soccer ball. the evolution of the american football evolved through testing to see how you could throw a ball further, now it has evolved into the passing and rushing game we see today, but years in the past the dropkick led the sport to be called football, rumor had it that while the inventor was visiting mexico he heard a word about the sport soccer or rugby being callef futbol and then brought the word back and dubbed american football.

What is the ideal weight for a femal 5'2?

Normal weight would be 102-136 pounds depending on body type. \n\nOverweight would be considered greater than 137 pounds at this height for a female.\n\nObesity would be greater than 165 pounds.\n\nThese are BMI values. \n\nYour current weight 148 (-) 24 pounds putting you at 124 pounds is probably JUST RIGHT. If healthy living and balanced exercise keeps you at this weight wonderful! If you gain or lose a few pounds it is not likely significant. Be careful not to obsess about your weight. I'm sure it's great!

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the leveraging of technology or specialist process vendors to provide and manage an organisation's critical and/or non-critical enterprise processes and applications. The most common examples of BPO are call centres, human resources, accounting and payroll outsourcing. Business process outsourcing may involve the use of off-shore resources.\n\nBPO (business process outsourcing), the increasing trend of relocating entire business functions to either self-owned or third-party service providers, typically in low-cost locations.\n\nUse of a BPO as opposed to an application service provider (ASP) usually also means that a certain amount of risk is transferred to the company that is running the process elements on behalf of the outsourcer. BPO includes the software, the process management, and the people to operate the service, while a typical ASP model includes only the provision of access to functionalities and features provided or 'served up' through the use of software, usually via web browser to the customer.\n\nOut·sourc·ing in Technology\n\nThe procuring of services or products, such as the parts used in manufacturing a motor vehicle, from an outside supplier or manufacturer in order to cut costs.\n\nContracting with outside consultants, software houses or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming and datacenter operations. In the U.S. in 2003, the term took on extra meaning, often referring to jobs being given to people in companies located in India and other countries. See netsourcing, ASP, SSP and facilities management. \n\nOutsourcing in Investment\n\nA practice used by different companies to reduce costs by transferring portions of work to outside suppliers rather than completing it internally.\n\n\nInvestopedia Says:Outsourcing is an effective cost-saving strategy when used properly. It is sometimes more affordable to purchase a good from companies with comparative advantages than it is to produce the good internally. An example of a manufacturing company outsourcing would be Dell buying some of its computer components from another manufacturer in order to save on production costs. Alternatively, businesses may decided to outsource book-keeping duties to independent accounting firms, as it may be cheaper than retaining an in-house accountant.\n\n\n-----\n\nOutsourcing (or contracting out) is often defined as the delegation of non-core operations or jobs from internal production within a business to an external entity (such as a subcontractor) that specializes in that operation. Outsourcing is a business decision that is often made to lower costs or focus on core competences. A related term, offshoring, means transferring work to another country, typically overseas. Offshoring is similar to outsourcing when companies hire overseas subcontractors, but differs when companies transfer work to the same company in another country. Outsourcing became a popular buzzword in business and management in the 1990s. EDS was the first company to establish the outsourcing business.\n\nOverview\n\nOutsourcing is defined as the management and/or day-to-day execution of an entire business function by a third party service provider.\n\nOutsourcing and/or out-tasking involve transferring a significant amount of management control to the supplier. Buying products from another entity is not outsourcing or out-tasking, but merely a vendor relationship. Likewise, buying services from a provider is not necessarily outsourcing or out-tasking. Outsourcing always involves a considerable degree of two-way information exchange, co-ordination, and trust.\n\nOrganizations that deliver such services feel that outsourcing requires the turning over of management responsibility for running a segment of business. In theory, this business segment should not be mission-critical, but practice often dictates otherwise. Many companies look to employ expert organizations in the areas targeted for

A budget constraint is an accounting identity that describes the consumption options available to an agent with a limited income (or wealth) to allocate among various goods.\n\nIt is important to understand that the budget constraint is an accounting identity, not a behavioral relationship.  An agent may well determine his behavior by considering his budget constraint, but his budget constraint is a given element of the problem he faces.

Why do people wait until their lowest point in life to turn to God? Such as Jail?

Because sometimes it takes a person reaching that point to soften their hearts enough to let God in.  From experience(jail) I know it to be true.  Sometimes you go through life hardening your heart to hiim and that is what it took for me.   He was the only person there that could comfort me and the only one I could call a friend.  Jail is Hell it feels like nobody is your friend until you go to God.


It's not a statute, it's a court rule of procedure. Discovery takes in interrogatories, requests for documents and depositions. It can include a "view" when the locus of an event cannot be seen from a public way.\n\nJust because the information has been disclosed to the party's lawyer does not mean it can be shared with a spouse of the party, since the attorney must maintain attorney-client privilege even as to a spouse.\n\nIn a criminal case, the prosecution generally has a duty to disclose evidence exculpating the defendant. The defendant, except in MA and a couple of other states and federal courts, there is no general duty on the defense to share information with the prosecutor.\n\nA defense lawyer will usually share any disclosures with the defendant. But the lawyer will tell the defendant not to disclose it to anyone else if it will affect the case when it gets out.


are there any fax machines that will work with voice over IP?

Any fax machine works with VOIP. You can even use a free fax via email from jfax or efax. I have VOIP using Skype and Meritcall at meritcall.com and I have a fax machine that I use to fax people with and I use Meritcall. But to receive, I use my jfax free version and I print them myself.\n\nIt's hard to use Skype with fax machine because you have to get a Port Converter for Skype. Which means you have to buy a hardware that will enable your usb to phone line.  Which cost about $30. Search for USB Skype in Google or Yahoo.\n\nI bought my fax machine in '89, and it's still being used, then migrated to VOIP 4 years ago, and it still works.


My Father retired from the Air Force, it provide he and the family opportunities that we may never have had. We got to live all over the world.  My Husband is Special Forces, Air Force.. He left after 2 years, but regrets not staying in longer.\n\nI think it takes a strong person, mentally and physically to give 4 years of their life to their country. Make sure you are doing this for you and not what others think you should do.

How compute ac energy cost in my house using ac  volt / current meter?

You cannot determine KWH usage with AC in that way.\n\nIf you looked at the voltage, it would be a sinewave.\nIf you could look at the current, it might also be a sinewave, but it is very unlikely that it would be in perfect phase with the voltage.\n\nOnly if the current and the voltage are in perfect phase with each other can you determine watts by multiplying current times voltage.\n\nThe arithmetic you are suggesting will work only when the power factor is exactly 1.00, which could be close to correct if the load is all incandescent lighting, but will not be correct if the load is inductive, such as electric motors, or capacitive.\n\nTo measure power usage, you will need a watt-hour meter, similar to what the utility companies provide.\n\nThe following source (found via Google) explains it:\n\n"A common misconception is that power is simply the product of voltage times current, implying that any ammeter can be used to determine power usage. This is only true in  a few special cases."

Can anybody help me with literary critiscm for emily dickinson's he put the belt around my life?

Wow, I love searching for answers on questions like this- this is a tough one!\n\nThis was the ONLY thing I could find, a comment someone wrote...\n\nIt could be a man controlling her life--her father, Wadsworth, Higginson?--but it makes more sense to identify the "He" and "Whom" with god. The belt is some kind of sign of office, the one who puts the belt on the speaker is a "Duke" with "imperial" stature. Once belted, the speaker becomes a member of the elite and ethereal "Cloud." (If you wanted to you could read this a some kind of kinky bondage thing--The Story of E--but that would be inappropriate and less than tactful.)\n\nWith the second eight lines in place, I see the poem as a wry and witty, even slightly rueful, comment on ED's famous reclusivity. There might not have been a train she wouldn't take as it lapped up its miles, but in fact she did take very few, and she did care where they were going!\n\nAnd of course, like most of ED's other poems, you can sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Amazing Grace," or any other song in psalm meter.\n\nCiarog from United States \n\n\nAlternatively, I guess maybe background on Dickinson's usual themes might help?\n\nEmily Dickinson is such a unique poet that it is very difficult to place her in any single tradition—she seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. Her poetic form, with her customary four-line stanzas, ABCB rhyme schemes, and alternations in iambic meter between tetrameter and trimeter, is derived from Psalms and Protestant hymns, but Dickinson so thoroughly appropriates the forms—interposing her own long, rhythmic dashes designed to interrupt the meter and indicate short pauses—that the resemblance seems quite faint. Her subjects are often parts of the topography of her own psyche; she explores her own feelings with painstaking and often painful honesty but never loses sight of their universal poetic application; one of her greatest techniques is to write about the particulars of her own emotions in a kind of universal homiletic or adage-like tone (“After great pain, a formal feeling comes”) that seems to describe the reader’s mind as well as it does the poet’s. Dickinson is not a “philosophical poet”; unlike Wordsworth or Yeats, she makes no effort to organize her thoughts and feelings into a coherent, unified worldview. Rather, her poems simply record thoughts and feelings experienced naturally over the course of a lifetime devoted to reflection and creativity: the powerful mind represented in these records is by turns astonishing, compelling, moving, and thought-provoking, and emerges much more vividly than if Dickinson had orchestrated her work according to a preconceived philosophical system.\nOf course, Dickinson’s greatest achievement as a poet of inwardness is her brilliant, diamond-hard language. Dickinson often writes aphoristically, meaning that she compresses a great deal of meaning into a very small number of words. This can make her poems hard to understand on a first reading, but when their meaning does unveil itself, it often explodes in the mind all at once, and lines that seemed baffling can become intensely and unforgettably clear. Other poems—many of her most famous, in fact—are much less difficult to understand, and they exhibit her extraordinary powers of observation and description. Dickinson’s imagination can lead her into very peculiar territory—some of her most famous poems are bizarre death-fantasies and astonishing metaphorical conceits—but she is equally deft in her navigation of the domestic, writing beautiful nature-lyrics alongside her wild flights of imagination and often combining the two with great facility.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, I think your best bet is to borrow a book from the library with criticism...\nAll the best, hope that helps somehow!

America is currently facing many problems, however a drastic decline in it's power is doubtful.  According to most rankings that take into account all aspects of a nation, The usa is by far the most powerful, and is more powerful than the second and third most powerful countries combined.  However, if our country continues on its current trend yes there will be problems.  Our currency is depreciating, and the gap between rich and poor is growing under the current administration, and there is also talk of starting our third war in this regime.  The only reason why i think that America won't decline though is because the Republicans will have nobody else to blame after this term, and once they are voted out these problems will be addressed.  The republicans control everything now and have lost their scapegoat.  The only people they have to blame our themselves.


What are the requirements (in order to be recognized) to be a Tae Kwon Do instructor and start your own school

The requirments for statring a martial ats school vary depending on the association.  I used to belong to the WTF and understand the rules have changed a bit from the early days.  It is my opinion that you should be a seasoned black belt to open and opperate a school.  A 1st degree black belt to me is nothing more than a master of the basics.  A 3rd degree black belt would be more of a journeyman.\n\nI have been practicing martial arts since 1967 and have discovered that there is way more to rank and time in rank when it comes to running a school and teaching students.  Some students are natural teachers I have found.  There is a big difference between being a good competitor, practitioner, coach, judge, or official and that of being a teacher.  Teaching is a totaly different animal.  You need to be able see a students strenghts and weaknesses and build on each individual.  You need to earn the respect of each student every day.\n\nThe things to remember outside of rank when opperating a school include but are not limited to demographics, your business capabilities, your willingness to continue to learn and evolve, your maturity as a student yourself, business strategy, program direction, time restraints, ect.\n\nOne last word of advise...don't quit your day job any time soon.


In your second step, you create a -1 for each and every +1.  Then, in the final step, you miscount, leaving off a -1.  That's the nature of working with infinity.  You could just as easily rearrange the numbers as \n\n= 2 - 2 + 2 - 2...\nor\n= 157 - 157 + 157 - 157...\n\nThus "proving" that every number equals every other number.  Infinity resists such manipulations.


Do you believe that there is an absolute truth?

What Is the Truth?\nAt John 17:3 Jesus is praying to his father, and He says "you are the only true God."  He spoke the truth.\n\nSo let us leave the murky waters of relativism and examine briefly what the Bible describes as the pure waters of truth. (John 4:14; Revelation 22:17) In the Bible, “truth” is not at all like the abstract, intangible concept over which philosophers debate.\n\nWhen Jesus said that his whole purpose in life was to talk about the truth, he was speaking of something that faithful Jews had valued for centuries. In their sacred writings, the Jews had long read of “truth” as something concrete, not theoretical. In the Bible, “truth” translates the Hebrew word “’emeth′,” which signifies that which is firm, solid, and, perhaps most of all, reliable.\n\nMANY religious organizations claim to have the truth, and they offer it eagerly to others. However, between them they offer a dizzying profusion of “truths.” Is this just another evidence that all truths are relative, that there are no absolute truths? No.\n\nIn his book The Art of Thinking, Professor V. R. Ruggiero expresses his surprise that even intelligent people sometimes say that truth is relative. He reasons: “If everyone makes his own truth, then no person’s idea can be better than another’s. All must be equal. And if all ideas are equal, what is the point in researching any subject? Why dig in the ground for answers to archeological questions? Why probe the causes of tension in the Middle East? Why search for a cancer cure? Why explore the galaxy? These activities make sense only if some answers are better than others, if truth is something separate from, and unaffected by, individual perspectives.”\n\nIn fact, no one really believes that there is no truth. When it comes to physical realities, such as medicine, mathematics, or the laws of physics, even the staunchest relativist will believe that some things are true. Who of us would dare to ride in an airplane if we did not think that the laws of aerodynamics were absolute truths? Verifiable truths do exist; they surround us, and we stake our lives on them.\n\nTruth is Truth, you cannot change it

HELPP MY DAUGHTER is 13 AND WANTS A JOB?

Ok, first off, kids are with their parents all the time, and do things all the time, and get tired of it. Kids who really like to work really like to spread their help around, and not just towads the parents. IF you feel she is responsable enough, sure, let her have a job. BUT! She needs to do it like everyeone else. She needs to start at the bottom, and work her way up. Just because she is a kid, does not mean she gets any special treatment. Now if she is not responsable enough, she probably shouldn't have a responsability like that. Keep her to doing things you are most comfortable with. I mean, who is the parent, and who is the child? It is all up to you!

who sings "he's not heavy he's my brother?"?

The Hollies originally.\n\nHere's the lyrics:\nThe road is long, with many of winding turns\nThat lead us to (who knows) where, who knows where?\nBut I'm strong, strong enough to carry him - yeah\nHe ain't heavy - he's my brother\n\nSo long we go, his welfare is my concern\nno burdon is he to bear, we'll get there\nBut I know he would not encumber me\nHe ain't heavy - he's my brother\n\nIf I'm leaving at all, if I'm leaving with sadness\nthat everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness\nof love for one another.\n\nIt's a long, long road, from which there is no return\nWhile we're on the way to there, why not share?\nAnd the long doesn't way me down at all\nHe ain't heavy - he's my brother


how to overcome a breakup with my boyfriend? He is married,we love each other so much but he also love his kid

Only time and personal effort will make it better.  You truely love someone, it's forever, and your mind will from time to time come back to him, but if u truely love him, u are doing the right thing by stopping and staying away.  Don't break up a family or hurt a child.  If it's meant to be it will happen one day.

Tim Duncan\nA foot injury scaled back his numbers, but they're still impressive enough (18.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 3.2 assists). Even more imposing than his individual stats is Duncan's impact on the league's most consistent program at both ends of the court. The team-first hierarchy that may bring a fourth championship to San Antonio works in all ways -- on the court and in the locker room -- because of him.

why don't American's like soccer like Europeans?

Because traditional sports like baseball and football have been played for many years in america.

why did the titanic sink even though it was called unsinkable?

when the Titanic was designed, it was made to stay afloat if the first four water tight bulkheads were full, thus making it seem "unsinkable." However, when it hit a 'berg on that night, it filled up 5+ watertight bulkheads, thus not being able to stay afloat. If the captain hit it head on, the bow would of crumbled, but the time for it to sink would take a lot longer, more lives would be saved, etc. And no matter what your ship is made of, it's not unsinkable. It was made of iron and steel, like many ships, but that does not make any ship unsinkable. The builders deemed in "unsinkable" because of the pride they took in it in the early technology of the early 20th century, and many believed it would be the best and the fastest.\n\nNew evidence shows that it also was struck from the bottom of the ship from the iceberg, thus allowing water to rise up faster than it was coming in.\n\nThe loss of life was due to the shortage of lifeboats, which was 8 starboard, 8 port, and then 4 collapsable boats (think little rafts) for a grand total of 20. It was planned to have 64 followed by 32 then 16 with 4 more was the final solution.


My brother is a Mormon (LDS). I've heard the strangest things about how they sacrifice animals and they have more than one wife (not true of LDS - only of fundamentalist Mormon denominations, which are few and far between), and they are so annoying and this and that on and on. When I hear people talk about them, I usually just listen and say, "Really?" every now and then until they are finished. Then I tell them that my brother is a Mormon. That usually produces a Kodak moment :) \n\nI don't agree with the Book of Mormon (see link for good reasons why) or some of the doctrines, but neither have I ever met a Mormon that I didn't like. Even Trey Parker and Matt Stone were man enough to portray them as really nice and loving people.


what are the down sides to disabling your computers virtual memory.?

Which direction does a twister twist in, clockwise or counter-clockwise? does hemisphere change that?

In the Northern Hemisphere, a tornado or twister twists counter-clockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere is clockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, caused when objects (in this case air) moves over the rotating earth. The air flows towards the twister, but curves to right (relative to the direction it is flowing). It is easier to visualize if you think about some air flowing straight north to a twister. Since the earth's surface is moving faster towards the east where it started, it carry on some of the momentum and curve to the east (right of the northerly direction it was flowing). This will tend to cause the air to miss the twister, but he extreme low pressure will allow the higher pressure around it to bend the flow towards the funnel, but the air will have the angular momentum of moving the right as it moves in, thus creating the counter-clockwise twist. In the Southern Hemisphere, a flow from the south towards a twister will be coming from a place closer to the earth's axis, and thus will be moving East more slowly than the land under the twister, so it fall behind (to the West) as it approaches, resulting, through the similar process as described above, in a clockwise twist.


are you ready for the next  big step in life, whatever it may be?

why hasn't alex ferguson ever been mentioned as a candidate for english manager?


Where can I find out the information that potental employers find on me?

I used to work closely with background check agencies.  if it's for basic employment, they look into your education, previous employers, dmv, convictions.  as for emoployers they can only find what you list, if you choose to omit a employer they can't find it.  the only things you can't omit is felonies and misdemeeners and dmv.  they can also see all previous addresses you've lived in.  credit check is rarelly done, but if the employer is interested in that, then they can do that too.  in certain states, by law, you are to receive a copy of your background check after it's been completed by the agency who ran it, for free.  I know california is one of those states.\n\ngood luck :)


Why did U.S. pre-emptive strike vs. Germany when Japan bombed Peal harbor?

1. Germany was closely allied with Japan. They coordinated all sorts of things.\n\n2. Immediately after we declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on us.\n\n3. America had to be dragged kicking and screaming into World War II. We attacked Japan because they attacked us. We attacked Germany because they declared war on us. We did not pre-emptively strike anyone, and we did not fight against Stalin because he did not attack us or declare war against us.\n\n4. By "anti-Iraq wackos" I assume you mean Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest, since they manufactured a false reason to go to war with Iraq, and abused the American military as a political tool to slaughter thousands upon thousands of Iraqis.


when Jesus Christ said to the Father "forgive them,for they don't know what they are doing"\nthis only shows that Christ loves the Father so much that He obeyed until death,to save sinners like me.and His resurrection has opened Heaven for us.isn't it wonderful.\nHappy Easter! Christ is risen!

Sleep Learning is no good for fact memorization or concepts requiring abstract/analytical thought.\n\nIt is good for suggestions for simple behavior changes, getting an overall deep-down "feel" for a foreign language (still have to be awake for the vocabulary learning and practice part), and so on.


Give the classification of raw material inventory.?

Physical inventory is a process where a business stops all inventory transactions, and physically counts its entire inventory. A physical inventory may be mandated by financial accounting rules or the tax regulations to place an accurate value on the inventory, or the business may need to count inventory so component parts or raw materials can be restocked. Businesses may use several different tactics to minimize the disruption caused by physical inventory.\n\n* Inventory services provide labor and automation to quickly count inventory and minimize shutdown time.\n* Inventory control system software can speed the physical inventory process.\n* A perpetual inventory system tracks the receipt and use of inventory, and calculates the quantity on hand.\n* Cycle counting, an alternative to physical inventory, may be less disruptive.
