how can i get rid of over sleeping?please..help me out?

Do you wake up when the alarm goes off?  Or are you like me and can sleep right through it? My dad used to yell from the bottom of the stairs to wake us all up as kids and believe me he only had to do it ONCE! I think that's why I can sleep through the alarm clock now! I'll blame it on my dad!(:  A solution I've found is telling myself,before I go to sleep,that I am going to oversleep.  It's a reverse phychology thing that works for me. Your brain is aware that you are going to try to oversleep and it won't let you!  Seriously! Try it! If you can't fall asleep it works the same way;instead of lying there counting sheep,tell yourself that you're not tired and you're going to stay awake.  I guarantee it will knock you out like a light! Another thing that works is getting enough sleep.  If you sleep through the alarm,perhaps have someone call you so you have to get up to get the phone.  Moving your alarm clock so you have to get out of bed to shut it off is another way to keep from hitting the snooze button.  Even as an adult now,if I really need to be up and out early;I have my dad call me on the phone!   Good luck to you. I hope some of these things work for you!


How can i cure pimples, so i can have a nice healthy face.?

Wash your face every morning, and if you don't mind spending some money, you can usually go to Walmart and look for some kind of a facial wash and/or acne wash where you can put it on and clean your face without too much hassle.


i'm 19yr old.. but only 5'7" tall... want to grow taller what shall i do?

Sorry, at your age there’s nothing to do by now.\nThe height as many other organ variation starts with the birth and goes on progressively until to reach his apex during the puberty and adolescence age. At that time, the sexual development starts too. Generally around 18-20 both height and sexual development decrease, steadying till to stop definitively. Somebody begins the development earlier than other but anyway at that age some characteristic become stable, as well as the height when the bone and the skeleton development is definitive. Therefore, medically there is some possibility to intervene ONLY when the bone still are developing, just stimulating a bigger possible growth.\nAt last, don’t forget that the height, as like as any other body attribute, is a genetic factor.

how do you add photos from a document to your profiles?

If a computer document has a photo you want, right click on it.  That will give you the option of saving the photo to your hard disk in My Documents or in some other folder or onto a diskette in Drive A.\n\nThen you go to your profile and it will load the photo from the place where you copied it.  But you may have to browse to show it where the photo was stored.\n\nHope that's what you wanted.


If your pants catch on fire, does that mean you are lying?

can you tell me the rankings of top ROTC programs?

My daughter was in the Air Force Junior ROTC program all through her high school years (4 years) and I know that she would tell you it was the best 4 years she had in that organization.  She had all the intentions of going to college and being a veterinarian; she did go to college and received her B.A. however, she changed her career decision  and enlisted in the Air Force instead.  With the 4 years of ROTC under her belt, she entered the Air Force with an automatic stripe and at a higher pay grade and her dossier was that much more impressive. She is still serving our country at Columbus AFB, Mississippi as an Air Traffic Controller and we are extremely proud of her.  She will be going for the staff sargeant position sometime this year.  She has also expressed her desire to continue her education funded by the military and will also be enlisting for probably another 5-6 years, possibbly serving somewhere overseas. Being in the ROTC program has not only made her disciplined and self-sufficient, but also a responsible and successful adult.  I am sure that the other branches of the service also have terriffic ROTC programs so please check with your school or community's program availability and for any answer to the questions you may have.  Good luck!\n\nP.S.  Tragic Hero is wrong. The ROTC programs begin at the school levels and count toward your "real-life" military career in that branch of the service (it's just not Army). ROTC and Jr. ROTC all adds up when you are being looked at for entering the military or officer's school.

Why does the moon appear larger sometimes?

the moon generally appears larger when it is near the horizon. It works by the fact that you have something to compare it too. The same moon that night way up high in the sky obviously would look smaller as there is nothing to compare it too.\n\nThere is one fool proof way to prove this. When the moon is near the horizon stick out your arm and cover the moon with the tip of your pinkie. Do it again when the moon is overhead, you'll soon see it is the same size.

the Hypothesis of oersted discovery how is magnet and electricity related?

Once oersted was performing his regular experiments with electric currents. He had accidently kept a magnetic needle nearby. At that time there was no relation known between electricity and magnetism. But when oersted passed a current through a wire, he saw a deflection in the needle. When direction of current changed, the deflection was in the opposite direction.\nSo Oersted's law as stated in 1920 is :\nAn electric current flowing through a conductor produces a magnetic field in its surroundings. The strength of the field is a function of electric current and depends on the nature of conductor.\n\nThe further relation between electricity and magnetism was given mathematically be Faraday and Lenz.\nYour question is very much conceptual and related closely to Electromagnetism. I suggest that you check out other internet sites giving indepth info about these topics. It will be helpful for you.\nI hope this answer satisfies your query.


Beats the heck out of Tofu. If I'm going to have something rotting inside me I want it to taste good going down. Don't get me wrong, I like my veggies but I gotta have my meat. Come to think of it, might just go and grill me a big steak right now. I'm hungry.


Well, I think that the US people are mostly to blame. We always get fixated onto our own 'domestic' issues, and hardly ever look outside the box. Our media giants never feed us the true news, and we have to spend hours searching on the internet to find the true story, but I still think we are too naive. There ARE much more important things than Iraq, like the genocides in Africa, but we never really care. Sometimes, it just gets me so mad. Then again, i'm only 13... PS.

hydrogen from h2o which metal for+ and - using sulphuric acid and 12 volts?

I would use Carbon-Graphite electrodes for both the anode (+) and cathode (-) simply because they are cheap and effective.  The electrode you really need to be concerning yourself with is the anode since it is most prone to corrosion, you have much more freedom with the cathode.  I really dont see the need of using an expensive inert metal electrode, when graphite will do the job.


Was the decision for the supreme court case Gideon v. Wainwright liberal, or conservative?

This was neither Conservative nor Liberal, it was Constitutional based relative to the VI Article of the Bill of Rights\n\nFacts of the Case \nGideon was charged in a Florida state court with a felony for breaking and entering. He lacked funds and was unable to hire a lawyer to prepare his defense. When he requested the court to appoint an attorney for him, the court refused, stating that it was only obligated to appoint counsel to indigent defendants in capital cases. Gideon defended himself in the trial; he was convicted by a jury and the court sentenced him to five years in a state prison.\nQuestion Presented \nDid the state court's failure to appoint counsel for Gideon violate his right to a fair trial and due process of law as protected by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments?\nConclusion \nIn a unanimous opinion, the Court held that Gideon had a right to be represented by a court-appointed attorney and, in doing so, overruled its 1942 decision of Betts v. Brady. In this case the Court found that the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of counsel was a fundamental right, essential to a fair trial, which should be made applicable to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Justice Black called it an "obvious truth" that a fair trial for a poor defendant could not be guaranteed without the assistance of counsel. Those familiar with the American system of justice, commented Black, recognized that "lawyers in criminal courts are necessities, not luxuries."\n\n************  \n\nTo the individual suggesting to boycott this question because it seems to be a homework question.  \n\nThat may or may not be true, but it is immaterial to the function of the Yahoo Question and Answer system.  People ask questions and others answer.  The motivation of asking (or answering) the questions aren’t important.  If someone is trying to do their homework through this system, they are the ultimate loser because they don’t do their own research.  It is their problem, not ours.

what are the contra-indicators of using alternitave therapy to treat back pain?

First you have get an exam and diagnosis.  Go to your medical doctor and get the appropriate tests done.  Have a name for your condition that is more specific than 'back pain'.  Back pain can be caused by all sorts of things, you need to know what is causing yours.\n\nOnce you have done that, you can address whether or not the condition can/should be treated with alternative therapies, and which kind will be the safest and best for you.  \n\nNext you have to find a professional, someone who has the proper credentials to provide health care.  They will review your medical history and determine if there are any contraindications for you.  For example, some therapies may not be appropriate, or may need to be modified, if you are pregnant or have other medical problems.  If herbs are to be a part of the regime and you take pharmaceuticals, your therapist will need to avoid any herb-drug interactions.  If you are thinking of acupuncture, your therapist will ask about your medications in case you are taking blood-thinners and take the necessary precautions.  \n\nIn short, a seasoned professional will work with you to address your health with regard to the therapies they offer.

How do people earn big money making jewelry?

First off it all depends on how you market your jewelry. If you want to sell this for $1,000 or more you need to make your customers precieve that kind of value on your product. \n\nFirst if you know that your jewelry is one of a kind you need to show that it does. Your own style and label. Labeling your jewelry is your name to fame. Especially the ones you see in the art galleries. Make your jewelry unique, creative, your style, your design. Make your name as a Brand. Market your name as a Brand. So when people hear your name they know it's your jewelry.\n\nExample: When you say McDonald's...people think of Big Mac\n\nI'm gonna give you a tip that I learned from my father he used to buy old cars and resold the car himself. This is what he used to do to get more money for his car. He used to place flyers in local stores sending customers to my brother's house, to see the car for a high price, which didn't say how much the price of the car this flyer states that we accept any offers. Then in a few days later he place another ad which sent customer's to his house, which this flyer has a lower price on the same car advertise.  So in the end he was selling his car for more, but price was cheaper than from my brother's house. Without Negotiating any pricing on the car.\n\nKnow you can use the same system to resell your jewelry. For example you can set up a website selling it for really high. And you can set up an account on Ebay where your going to sell it for less. Now remember whatever price you sell on your website your going to sell it on Ebay for 1/2 of the price.\n\nYou can also create a blog about jewelry art. And you can talk about your designs. This will increase your Branding.\n\nGood Luck and I hope this will help you in your jewelry business venture.\n\nLuis Galarza,  Business and Telecommunication Consultant\nfor communication tips go to http://www.cogni360blog.co.nr\nand for free business tips go to http://luisgalarza.blogspot.com

Mars was the Roman god of war, and where the month of March got its name. The Greeks' god of war was Ares.

where can i find info about the potential health risks of cutting galvanized sheet metal with a flame?

Occupational exposure to any fumes and/or chemicals can create inflammatory responses within your lung tissue. When this inflammation occurs on a daily basis over a several year period, your lung tissue, specifically the parenchyma will become damaged similiar to that of a chronic smoker. The parenchyma is the distal portion of your lungs that partake in gas exchange (Co2 and 02), when this layer of blood vessels and tissue become destroyed, there is no way to repair the damage. Just think of a coal miner's lung


how do i make an annoymous san jose police report?

The best way is to simply call the San Jose Police Department, give them the information that you are reporting and when they ask for your name/address/phone number, just say politely "I'd prefer to remain anonymous."  Although, you may want to seriously consider giving at least your first name and a phone number.\n\nThe problem with anonymous reports (especially anonymous phone calls) is that a lot of times it ties the hands of the officer that is trying to investigate the crime.  The courts have traditionally viewed anonymous reports as less credible than those where someone is willing to leave their name and phone number (since there's less incentive for the caller to tell the truth).  As a result, officers are typically not allowed to do searches, subpeona records, or use other investigative tools that they could if the report was considered "credible" by the courts.\n\nProviding a phone number also allows the police department to recontact you later if they have questions, run into problems, or if they want to let you know of the outcome.  As a dispatcher, I've had several situations where an anonymous caller has reported a crime, and once an officer is sent to investigate, we discover that the address the caller provided provided is incorrect (or lacking an apartment number).\n\nHope this helps.


Is anyone else out there poor? How can I be a happy person?

Hold your head up. Someone in the world does not know what a computer is. Someone did not have a meal yesterday or today and worry about where their next meal would come from. As bad as you think things are, someone has it much worse than you do. The funny thing is that some of these people are actually happy. Money can't buy you joy or happiness, it comes from within. I am sure that you have qualities that some of the richest people in this world do not have and probaly never will. Write them down on a piece of paper and know that you are rich in many ways. Stop for a minute and think about what you have from how much worse things could have been and be happy for this. Hold your head up.

You can find the current income tax brackets in the instructions to Form 1040 or on the IRS website, http://www.irs.gov/individuals/index.html.  The rates apply to taxable income, which is neither gross income nor adjusted gross income; it is adjusted gross income with further deductions.


How do I know if my THC level  is lowered if i take  urine test?

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine what the THC level is until the test is completed. There are a couple of factors that will help you "guesstimate". One is the amount of fat in your body. Someone with a higher fat count will retain THC longer than someone with a lower level. Another is how much THC has been taken in. Someone who uses day after day will of course have much more in their system than the occasional user.\n\nThere is one good way to help cleanse your system. At any good head shop, you can purchase a cleanser that looks a lot like Gatorade or something like it. I can tell you from personal past experience that this stuff works.

Please note that these results are based on what I experienced, and should not be misunderstood as what will or might happen with you.\n\nGood luck.

does anyone out there suffer from  Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Oh, ya. It hurts so bad. For three straight years I had the shooting pains of TN and a burning sensation on the whole side of my face and head. Couldn't eat, sleep, wash my face or teeth on that side, the slightest breeze would be almost unbearable. Tegretol (an anti-convulsant) worked for me pretty well, however I would still have episodes. My doctor discovered a herpes virus next to my trigeminal nerve. He put me on Acyclovir a herpes medication and I have been pain free for several months now. I do not have herpes anywhere else in my body. I hope you have a doctor that is helpful and empathetic. Only go for the surgeries as a last resort.

I need some healthy snack ideas-for diabetics?

Eat foods that are low on the glycemic index.  You can eat naturally surary foods, if they are higher in fiber, as they are absorbed more slowly by the body.  Apple juice will shove your blood sugar sky high, but an apple should be ok.\n\nVegetables, with some lowfat dip would be good.  Fresh fruit - like apples or dried fruit like apricots can also be good.  COnsult your doctor as to if eating things like sugar free candy or life savers are ok for you.

how venture capital company get the funds?

A venture capital firm manages (invests) funds on behalf of limited partners (LP's). Limited partners are typically either university endowments, state and local pension funds, or high-net worth individuals. Once raised, each fund is then invested into small entrepreneurial companies from which a large multiple is expected to be returned through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or an acqusition. Once an entire fund is returned, the fund is then distributed back to the LP's at the same rate at which they invested.

THE GIFT OF THE MAGI\nBY\nO. HENRY\n\nONE dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. \n\nThere was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating. \n\nWhile the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad. \n\nIn the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name “Mr. James Dillingham Young.” \n\nThe “Dillingham” had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr. James Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called “Jim” and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dillingham Young, already introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good. \n\nDella finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag. She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $1.87 with which to buy Jim a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesn’t go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling—something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. \n\nThere was a pier glass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen a pier glass in an $8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks. Della, being slender, had mastered the art. \n\nSuddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds. Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length. \n\nNow, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim’s gold watch that had been his father’s and his grandfather’s. The other was Della’s hair. Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty’s jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy. \n\nSo now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet. \n\nOn went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street. \n\nWhere she stopped the sign read: “Mme. S

What is a good idea for a home-based business?

I think the most important thing is YOU. Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Make up a little (or big) song about them....thats how I did it!


Artemis (Diana) was the daughter of Zeus and Leto. Her twin brother was Apollo. She was the lady of the wild things. She was the huntsman of the gods. She was the protector of the young. Like Apollo, she hunted with silver arrows. She became associated with the moon. She was a virgin goddess, and the goddess of chastity. She also presided over childbirth, which may seem odd for a virgin, but goes back to causing Leto no pain when she was born. The cypress was her tree. All wild animals were sacred to her, especially the deer.


I am a motivational speaker.I need explnations on,Fear,Modesty,Doubt,Diligence,Controling Emotions,Service,?

Though its good question, I feel that you might have asked one question after another to make it simple to understand....\n\nI will talk about emotion. emotion is a state of mind. What controls human emotions are not the surroundings or the people who surround you, but ones response to those people and surroundings. So ones state of mind decides the outcome - emotion.\n\nI feel if one touches the heart of others, if they tell from ones experience and  its the charisma of the speaker that counts a lot. Then one a can be a successful motivational speaker.\n\nI just read your response to my question reagrding religious leaders, thanks for the info....


Why do we difficult breath at the time of bathing(in cold water) or in very chill region?

The presence of oxygen may be a factor in very high altitude places where it is cold and oxygen is also less than the usual amount on plain terrain. When u refer to a normal cold area, then what happens is u r too cold constanly shivering while taking a bath in cold water. So one breathes and shivers and this may seem to some as a breathing problem but it isn't.


which is the best wholesale club?  Sam's, Costco, or BJ's?

I prefer the Costco membership - they carry the products I need at products I like and have a hassle-free returns policy.  In our area there are fewer Sam's Clubs, membership was slightly more expensive, and they don't carry the things I typically shop for.\n\nI haven't experienced BJ's.

will the use of information technology in schools lessen the role of teachers?

No. The use of information technology will aid the teachers better inform their pupils about the world.\nMoreover the role of teacher would be more important and stronger as only teachers will tell you where to find correct information and what is right and what is wrong.\nSo, i think IT will complement the role of teacher rather than lessening it.

I believe your sentence/perdition/penalty would greatly depend on a few things like the state where the crime was committed, and the dollar amount of said offense.  \n\nIt might just end up being a state charge, but it has the propensity to be a federal charge too depending on the specific details and nature of the crime.

As humans we know right from wrong, so why do we insist on doing wrong, when we should be choosing to do right

i think no one wants to do wrong on porpose at all times. One reason people do wrong is because they react out of impulse of the moment or out of insticts without taking the time to think things over first before acting. Other times they do something wrong because they let themselfs convinced and draged into action by so called friends. \nIs in nature of human beeings to feel attracted by forbiden things (which in most cases are wrong) and is in human nature to feel it hard to resist temptations ( we got an example from old times in Adam and Eve who although were aware they were not alowed to touch the forbiden fruit Eve still did it and then convinced Adam to do it also).\nWe can never expect someone to do only the right thing cuz no one is perfect , we are submited to mistakes. The only way we can  make up for the wrong choises we make is to learn from them and dont repeat them.


During hot weather, sprinkling a little water on the floor can cool a room?

true\nwater is a liquid. we all know that energy increases as we increase randomness. so when any liquid is converted to gas its energy increases as its randomness increases.\n\nthis increase in energy has to be supplied from outside. so when the floor is hot it has heat energy which can be used to convert the water from liquid to gaseous state.\n\nso when u spray some water it quickly evaporates utilizing the heat energy and as the heat energy reduces the room becomes cooler.\n\nthis is applicable to only the places which do not have moisture in the air otherwise there will be no evaporation and u will feel suffocation.

The total cost of a tennis racket and 4 tubes of tennis of tennis balls was $143. The racket cost $108 more?

let one tube cost 'a' dollars. then the racket costs 'a+108'\nand four tubes cost '4a'\nSo total cost is 4a + (a+108) which is $143.\nOr,\n5a + 108 = 143\n5a = 143 - 108 = 35\na = 35/5 = 7\nSO a tube of balls cost $7, and the racket costs 108+7 that is $115.\n\nANSWER: $115 for the racket

How many people were involved in JFK's Murder?And was the Government involved?

I doubt that anyone knows how many people were involved in JFK's murder.  I am sure Oswald was NOT the only one involved.  From what I have read, he didn't even qualify on the rifle range when he was in the USMC, and that was with a semi-automatic rifle.  The Carcano he is accused of using would not be the weapon of choice for such a job.  That particular model tended to jam and you would want a more tried and true weapon for such a task, such as a Mauser 98.

who would win between van damme and steven seagal?

Van Damme would win hands down. Steven Seagal's technique sucks. He has no control, and is in poor physical shape. I've worked with him, and he isn't all that good. He often hurts his stunt people because he isn't careful or well disciplined. Van Damme is very well disciplined. His technique is better and MUCH more precise. He is also a more patient fighter with more durability and stamina.

can a ins pick some up for having a dwi 2yrs after doing community service?

I believe that having a felony is grounds for deportation if someone is not a citizen of the United States.  Driving under the influence is a felony.  Non-citizens who commit felonies are usually required to serve their sentence here in the U.S. before being deported so it is not unusual for someone to be picked up by INS after they have finished their sentence (in this case, community service).

how do i know if it is to soon to already want to marry this guy i have only been with for 3 months now??

First off, make sure your not being blinded by that early part of a relationship where everything is all roses and wine.  Take some time to be realistic about really look at the relationship closely.  Liveing together will give you some idea about what it would be like to be married to someone but it won't give you the whole picture.  If after all that your still feeling the same way, just start by mentioning little things about marriage to him to see if it will start a conversation that will reveal his thoughts.

Yes he does. Both President Bush and a monkey can outsmart a democrat any day.


why do you close your eyes when you sneeze?

Some people can sneeze with their eyes open and some people can’t. Sneezing is a reflex and so is closing our eyes. We have no control over whether or not we close our eyes when we sneeze. Some people don’t have reflex, so when they sneeze then their eyes won’t close. Some people try to close their eyes so when they sneeze their eyes won’t pop out. Your eyes don’t really pop out. People without the reflex to sneeze with their eyes open can try to train themselves to sneeze with their eyes open. One good way to do this is if when you sneeze you hold your eyes open.\n\n    People think that when you close your eyes when you sneeze that you are blocking germs and bacteria. That is not true because your eyes deal with germs all the time. If you close your eyes during a sneeze, then it is just a reflex. During this part of the sneeze, we tense some of our muscles. The tensing (tightening) of our muscles causes our eyes to shut.\n\n    People that sneeze a lot can prevent sneezing. If you feel a sneeze, then use saline solution. You can also softly hold your nose at the end. These things can help your body remove things it does not want without sneezing.\n\n    No one knows the reason you close your eyes when you sneeze. There are many possibilities. Some people think it is to protect your eyes from flying goop. Most doctors think that it is still a reflex, or we just can’t help it.\n\n    Sneezing is very good for you and your body because it removes things from your body like bacteria and germs. It also is good because it keeps the tubes that carry the air from your nose to the lungs healthy. Sneezing makes your nose clear when you have a cold. If you used to hate sneezing, then I hope this has changed your mind.


This guy says im hot and wants me 2 say hi 2 him..but i heard he's a pervert....what do i do?

Define and explain what you consider to be an effective leader and what makes for poor leadership.?

An effective leader should let those she/he leads make as many decisions as possible. The led should feel they don't need a leader, that they can do it all themselves. A poor leader is someone who makes all the decisions with litlle or no regard for those who are led. Leaders in the middle make decisions, but those decisions are made after consulting those under them, and htey are usually good decisions. This the kind ofleadership the most successful countries in the world have nowadays.

We are the United States of America... and that USED to stand for something! We used to be leaders in world efforts for human rights and against the use of torture.  Now we do it ourselves!!! If we are lowered to the level of those we appose, then what does that make us?  \nAnd finally, it has been proven that information gained from the use of torture is not reliable and other means of interogation that do not use torture are more effective! So why are we using it?????

why is it that whenever a relationship is going well,something bad always happen?

Why is it that when everything has been going bad, something GOOD happens?\n\nBecause we are all starting from imperfection and zero experience.  And there are temptations and pitfalls that accrue from not heeding the true basic tenets handed down over the ages, just about everywhere (including different cultures and religions).\n\nLife is a struggle, we have to team up and cope with the challenges.  There will be some disappointments along the way, you cannot control what others do, only yourself, and even yourself not always...\n\nAll the most needed things are free.  As for those things that require effort or money, be satisfied with what you really need as opposed to what you want.\n\nEven when we are old we must continually remind ourselves about this.  \n\nYou see some people who are unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably UNHAPPY and may even do crimes because they WANT SO MUCH, they are never satisfied.  Also, comes from living too much for ONESELF and not enough for others, helping others, working with others, sharing with others.\n\nHappiness is doing what is right and being satisfied with it, even when the surroundings are messy, all $%^#$&^^ up.\n\nIt is possible for heaven on earth if you think about this.  Meanwhile, you can have heaven in your own little spot, for sure.  There are ups and downs for everyone, even perfect visitors.


What is the meaning of "species characteristics" with accordance to genetics?

Those are the charactistics by which a species is defined by taxonomists, the people who classify plants and animals.\n\nGenerally, a species is defined by those characteristics that the entire species has, not those that vary greatly among individuals.  They must also be characteristics that are different from other species.  So, for example, you might count the number of bones in a particular body part, or the position of the eyes relative to the rest of the face, or whatever.  Sometimes it is a behavior characteristic, but usually it is one shaped by a physical characteristic.  \n\nTry it on dogs, to see for yourself.  There are many breeds of dogs, and their hair, their shape and size, etc., vary greatly.  You can't use those.  They have four legs and a tail, but so do lots of animals other than dogs.  But dogs have a unique ventilation system, in that instead of sweating all over, they hang out their tongues and pant to get rid of excess moisture.  I am not enough of a taxonomist to give you all the details, but you could look them up.  Be prepared to discover, as I did when I read a book all about dogs, that several animals which have different names are also dogs in the scientific sense of being members of the species.  (Dang!  My cheap new dictionary does not give the Latin names.)

How many solutions are there to solve a system of linear equations using substitution and get - 8 = - 8 ?

If the system has no answer never you get -8=-8.\nIf the system has only one answer, never you get -8=-8.\nIf the system has more than one solution, that is the equations are dependent, again never reach -8=-8.\n\nBut for every kind of known equation, -8=-8 do not contradict with the equation, that is you can write it as a new equation and make a new system of equations, then you get from this system -8=-8.\nAnother way is this:\nSuppose first equation is f(x1,x2,...)=0 :\n\n----> -f(x1,x2,...)=0 \nNow add up these two equations: f-f=0 ---> 0=0\n\nNow add -8 to both sides of last equation, you get -8=-8

Usually, when the team takes there pictures, they can choose what size they want(4 x 7, 9 x 5, ect...) they are usually on the forms they take to choose what they want.  But i dont think that you can get there stat's and batting adverage on them.


Ok. Whether you should by an xbox 360 depends on what kind of games you like. I am an rpg kind of guy and I was really disapointed when they didn't release ANY rpg's when it came out. However, if you are more into first person shooter or sports games an xbox 360 is a must have especially if you have an HD tv. My xbox 360 downloads all my music cd's.

Yes!  Gravity has nothing to do with air, or the lack there of.  People tend to accociate vacuums with the absense of gravity because of the vacuum of space.  However, gravity is what keeps the moon orbiting the Earth and the Earth orbiting the sun, even though there is no air in space.


I'm looking for software that can check if a bought cd is original or bootleg?

i dont know of any software, but normally original cd's either have a silver back, or a black back (written surface)\n\ncopied cd's have another coloured background, i.e green, purple, pink or some other colour. thats the first step to look for,\n\nIf the cd has a label (obviously no label=copy) check the quality of the label, if you see pringter marks, grainy lines or other such blib on the label then it will be a copy\n\nanother thing to look for is actually on the cd itself, check for certain folders on the cd, like "crack", "serial" or other such folder that will indicate a copied cd.

I just had appendectomy.My lower abdomen sort of became bigger than before but it doesn't hurt.Why is this so?

If you had your appendix removed Laproscopically, it is probably the co2 they used to air your belly up to visualize and remove your appendix. The air will eventually work its way out. If you had it the "old fashioned way", where they cut you open to get it out, it could be that your muscles were stretched some during the procedure. You should be able to resume your exercise routine as soon as your Dr. releases you, and get your tummy muscles toned back up.


is sikhism a blend of hinduism and islam?

The Sikh religious thought originated in the Punjab, the land of five rivers, in north western India. On the present day map of India one can see East and West Punjab but in the days of Sikh origin, there were no divisions and there was only one Punjab. Sikhism could be described as a conclusion of thought processes and experiences in the life of one person. This event was the life of Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak, the first of the Sikh Gurus, was born in Talwandi in 1469. The village is now known as Nankana Sahib and is situated about fifty miles west of Lahore, the capital city of the Punjab. It was a period of comparative peace and security under the reign of Sultan Bahlol Lodhi (1451-89) and the formative years of Guru Nanak coincided with the period of Lodhi ascendancy under Bahlol and his son Sikandar. It seems that Nanak was born into a favoured period of peace, law and order and economic prosperity. He grew up in his father's village. At sometime in his early manhood he moved to Sultanpur where he worked in the employment of Daulat Khan Lodhi, Governor of Punjab. From Sultanpur he began a period of travels to places such as Mount Sumeru, Mecca, Madina, Baghdad and Bokhara. \n\nIn India he visited Panipat (Sheikh Sharaf), Delhi (Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi), Pak Pattan (Sheikh Farid Ibrahim), Saidpur (Babur) and Pir Bahauddin of Multan besides other places in Ceylon, Kashmir and the south of India. On his journeys he was usually accompanied by his close companions variously named as Mardana, Saido, Gheho, Hasu Lohar and Sihan Chhimba. \n\nMany authors have contended that Guru Nanak was influenced by the sanyasis and Hindu religious thought. But one look at the life of Guru Nanak makes it obvious that he lived amongst Muslims, was employed by a Muslim, visited and prayed at Muslim shrines sometimes spending as long as forty days in contemplation (culminating in his visit to Mecca) and that his religious thoughts were deeply influenced by the Islamic teachings. A reading of the Janam Sakhis also makes it clear that Guru Nanak spent more time with the Pirs and Sufis of his time and his teachings and practices were nearer to the Islamic faith. This subject has been dealt in detail by the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, in his book Sat Bachan. \n\nThe word GURU needs some explanation. It has two components, GU meaning one who dispels ignorance and darkness, and RU meaning one who brings enlightenment. When one reads the Janam Sakhis of Guru Nanak, it is possible to argue that Guru Nanak was a reformer speaking and acting against the caste system and trying to improve the status of women. Equally one can say that he was a religious synthesizer attempting a blend of Hinduism and Islam in his own cult or that he was a defender of pure religion against superstition and innovations. A more satisfactory evaluation of Guru Nanak is probably to regard him as a mystic and a Sufi who had realised the ultimate Unity in existence, who always spoke of 'The One without a second'. \n\nWhether he wanted people to follow him is uncertain and unlikely. It was the truth of his message not a community of followers which he seemed most eager to establish and yet he became the need of a community which emerged as an independent religion with its own rituals and distinctive characteristics. \n\nSoon after Babur's invasion of Northern India, around in 1521, Guru Nanak decided to end his life of a wandering teacher and settled down in Kartarpur. He discarded his dress of the Sufis and dressed in the manner of ordinary people and started teaching the community that grew around him. He rejected the Vedic teachings of magical spells, worship of ancestors, astrology, auspicious days and the rituals of Brahmin priests. His teaching was pure and simple, meditation and worship of one God without an Equal, a personal God, the omnipotent Creator of the universe, a being that was beyond time and human comprehension and yet was causing by His gr


why does god have to take away people we love?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.


How can I take 30 grams of vitamin c per day without diarrhea?

I use Bronson Sodium Ascorbate powder. It is gentler on your stomach and I have no problem doing 1000mg every hour with no diarrhea. I can take even more when I am Ill. I do as much as 3000mg (3 g) an hour when sick with no problem.  I get a 1 Kg 2.2 lb Canister online at Bronson Labrotorys. I believe sodium ascorbate is the easiest on the stomach and is not acidic. You must be ill to want to push that much c so it shouldnt be a problem. If it remains a problem after trying this then you will need to find a physician willing to give you intravenious vitamin c. Then you can acheive massive doses.\n\nhttp://www.doctoryourself.com/strategies.html\n\nYou get diarrhea when you have acheived bowel tolerance. Bowel tolerance means you are dumping the vitamin. You want to get to the point right before bowel tolerance to get the benefot you are seeking. When a person is ill the amount of ascorbic acid he can ingest without diarrhea being produced increases somewhat proportionally to the severity or the toxicity of the disease. Perhaps your body needs a bit less. I kind of let my body be my guide. If you are having sbowel problems look into starting some probiotics and this may help.\n\nhttp://www.probiotics.co.nz/prbtcs.html\n\nhttp://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/pro_0034.shtml\n\nLook at this website if you havent.

Doping is illegal and since the athletes and the Olympic games are in Italy, their police are getting involved. Just like the police here in the US would get involved if it was here.


how can i get the molecular weights of coconut oil, sunflower oil, balm oil, groundnut oil....?

Since vegetable oils are not pure materials, they will have varying molecular weights depending on the specific mixture of a sample of the oil.  I would recommend using Chemfinder.com and free MSDS resources on the internet to gather data.\n\nFor example, Chemfinder.com lists lauric acid as the primary ingredient of coconut oil.  Lauric acid has a molecular weight of 200.  This may be good enough for your purposes.

do you burn the same amount of calories if you have fatty food at night rather than during the day?

< 2.1 The Immediacy principle\nPeople naturally start interpreting a sentence immediately when they begin reading it (Just & Carpenter, 1980, 1987). Normally we interpret sentences well, and as we have finished the sentence we have understood it correctly. In a common sentence like "Sam loaded the boxes on the cart", the typical reader interprets the words one by one as soon as he reads or hears them, making "Sam" the subject, "loaded" the verb ''the boxes" the object and "on the cart" is then a prepositional phrase, completing the sentence. This is a common way to interpret a sentence for us, and will here be described as the immediacy principle. According to this view, as has been said, the words in a sentence are interpreted as soon as they are encountered. That means that every word in a sentence (such as the one above) will hypothetically carry forward the interpreted meaning until the end of the sentence. So when an ambiguous sentence is encountered, such as, for example, "John kicked the ball to the left" (where John could either have kicked the left one of two balls, or kicked the ball to the left instead of to the right), the interpreter will choose one of the meanings and maintain it until proven wrong.\n2.2 Garden paths\nOne particularly clear phenomenon that exemplifies the immediacy of parsing is called garden paths. "To lead someone down the garden path" has been the common description making sentences that deceive the reader and at first sight make a sentence incomprehensible. For example, in a sentence like "The old train the young", the reader normally interprets the word "train" as a noun rather than a verb, which makes the correct interpretation impossible. If readers did not commit themselves to an immediate interpretation, they would not be tricked by the garden paths.

Does anyone have a solution for meaningful peace between Israel & Palestine?

I think that peace must be had.  The Isrealis and the Palestinians need to be seperated.  There is too much hate for them to live together and sing "cume bye yah".  Both sides must agree to recognize each other and agree to total peace.  \n\nThere should be a barrier built, at mutually agreed borders, and Jeruselum must be free of all weapons and a free city, supported by a multinational security force.  The East should be the capital of Palestine and the West for Israel.  This would be VERY difficult because both sides want it all.  \n\nAll of the Gulf nations, with their 7 star hotels, should throw money and influence to the Palestinian Nation, while the West would continue to support Israel.  \n\nThis is the only way I can see that it will work.


Is intro to statistics a hard class to pass, and if so are there any suggestions or tips on how to pass?

The difficulty level of Introductory Statistics, like any class, really depends on your professor.  Is he/she going to allow you use of a good calculator (one that can find standard deviations, factorials, etc.) or an equation sheet?  There are a lot of equations and distributions to remember, so it may be hard if you aren't allowed to use an equation sheet.  Some professors may teach the class based on a computer program, for example DDXL or Excel.  Some professors may opt for a project based final (easier than a test in my opinion) or may require you to sit a final exam.  \n\n"Hardness" is relative...suggestions would be to go to class, make sure you understand the distributions and concepts (permutations and combinations is fairly difficult but not generally a major part of the class) and do your homework.  If you need help with a few problems there's always Yahoo answers...I'll be glad to help!  :-)

Underground Railroad, in U.S. history, loosely organized system for helping fugitive slaves escape to Canada or to areas of safety in free states. It was run by local groups of Northern abolitionists, both white and free blacks. The metaphor first appeared in print in the early 1840s, and other railroad terminology was soon added. The escaping slaves were called passengers; the homes where they were sheltered, stations; and those who guided them, conductors. This nomenclature, along with the numerous, somewhat glorified, personal reminiscences written by conductors in the postwar period, created the impression that the Underground Railroad was a highly systematized, national, secret organization that accomplished prodigious feats in stealing slaves away from the South. In fact, most of the help given to fugitive slaves on their varied routes north was spontaneously offered and came not only from abolitionists or self-styled members of the Underground Railroad, but from anyone moved to sympathy by the plight of the runaway slave before his eyes. The major part played by free blacks, of both North and South, and by slaves on plantations along the way in helping fugitives escape to freedom was underestimated in nearly all early accounts of the railroad. Moreover, the resourcefulness and daring of the fleeing slaves themselves, who were usually helped only after the most dangerous part of their journey (i.e., the Southern part) was over, were probably more important factors in the success of their escape than many conductors readily admitted. In some localities, like Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Wilmington, Del., and Newport, Ind. (site of the activities of Levi Coffin), energetic organizers did manage to loosely systematize the work; Quakers were particularly prominent as conductors, and among the free blacks the exploits of Harriet Tubman stand out. In all cases, however, it is extremely difficult to separate fact from legend, especially since relatively few enslaved blacks, probably no more than a few thousand a year between 1840 and 1860, escaped successfully. Far from being kept secret, details of escapes on the Underground Railroad were highly publicized and exaggerated in both the North and the South, although for different reasons. The abolitionists used the Underground Railroad as a propaganda device to dramatize the evils of slavery; Southern slaveholders publicized it to illustrate Northern infidelity to the fugitive slave laws. The effect of this publicity, with its repeated tellings and exaggerations of slave escapes, was to create an Underground Railroad legend that correctly represented a humanitarian ideal of the pre–Civil War period, but that strayed far from reality. The pioneer study is W. H. Siebert, The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom (1898, repr. 1968); for an extensively revised account, see Larry Gara, The Liberty Line (1961).

is it possible to contact the dead on you own and is so how?

It is possible to contact the dead on your own. First you must say a prayer to whatever Diety you believe in and ask for protection and truth. \n\nIf you are Christian try this: \n\nDear God, please protect me from anything that can harm me or others. I seek the truth and nothing else. With harm to none. In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost. Amen. \n\nAfter saying the protection prayer ask your higher power to put you in contact with the deceased through a dream. If you arent afraid to use a spell/ritual then try this one: \n\nTo Have Dreams Of The Deceased\n\nYou will need:\n\n1 white candle \nA picture of the deceased \nLight the white candle and stare at the flame for a few minutes. Then put the picture at eye level and say:\n\nYou are gone forever; \nBut still live in my heart\nI know you are in Heaven\nSo we remain apart\nI ask for your guidance\nThrough providence up above \nPlease speak some soothing words to me\nAnd fill me with your love\nWith harm to none and blessed be\n\nPlace the picture under your pillow. Blow out the candle, and place it under your pillow also. Sleep with them under your pillow for three nights to receive the dream you want.\n\nGood luck!

Did man create Aids to controll population growth of certain races or did God.It seems to kill off the humble?

I don't know about that, but it certainly humbles those it affects.\n\nAIDS was created by the world--not God or man.  I am a Christian but do not subscribe to the misguided notion that God created AIDS to punish gays and drug users.  You may as well say God created leukemia to punish innocent children.\n\nAnd while human creation of AIDS is possible, I do not believe it some concious method of population control.  AIDS is an ongoing global epidemic and it has the coordinated effort of researchers worldwide working to stop it.  Instead of trying to figure out how it started, why not concentrate on how it will be finished?

are blood clots in the arm from an iv harmful?

The following information I have obtained for you. \nIf the blood clot is in an artery, it may cause sudden pain, and selling a a slight blue cloration. However if it is in a vein, it may cause selling and tenderness.\n\nSymptoms and Complication:  Inflammation in superifical or surface veins-such as those used to insert IV lines in the arm or to draw blood-produces pain and discomfort but is isn't considered serious.  blood clots that form in superifical veins rarely break loose and travel in the blood to cause blockage (inplaces such as the lung) and complications.\nCauses: A variety of things can cause inflammation of a superificial vein One common cause is due to to trauma or injury,for example from intravenous (IV) catheters or solution and medications used in hospital that pierce the vein wall and cause irritation.  Any blow to a vein (like a blow or injury from a car accident) will trigger a local inflammatory reaction that leads to pain, discomfort, redness, and swelling. During this process, there's an increase blow of blood to the injured area, and a blood clot often forms in the inflamed or injured area of the vein.\nThis is generalized information for you and maybe it will help you to understand about blood clots.  However my bottom line is that you shoud see your Primary Physician as soon as possble so that he can make Logical decision as what to do for your situation. Best of luck.


Would anyone of you guys date an amputee girl and not be ashamed to be seen with her on crutches?

Not only would I date an amputee girl, I have dated an amputee girl before. She did not use a prosthesis and used crutches all the time. I was never ashamed to be seen with her at all. Of course some people would stare but I am used to that. I grew up with the stares when going out in public. I was so into her that most of the time I did not notice the crutches or the disability. The crutches and being in public with her had no impact on our relationship at all.


I know someone that needs to loos 250lbs(about 113kgr) can anyone help!?

Your friend definitely needs to see a doctor when losing this much weight.  Yes, good nutrition and exercise will work, but your friend needs medical support to rule out and/or control some medical issues that could be going on as part of obesity - type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart problems, to name a few.\n\nYour friend will need gentle exercise at first.  He may need to start simply by taking a five minute walk.  For weight loss purposes several five minute walks throughout the day to start are better than one 40 minute walk, for example.  Gradually as he gets more comfortable and more fit, increase the length of the walks until he is able to do 2 or 3 walks of 30 minutes each every day.  As this is happening he will also automatically gradually increase speed as he gets fitter and so he will get more exercise.  He will also need to begin, in time, to incorporate some weight training (lifting) into his routine to build muscle.\n\nYour friend needs to focus on better food choices - lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meat and fish, whole grains, skim milk and low fat dairy products.  A person who weighs as much as your friend does can actually eat considerably more food than a person of normal weight, especially if he is getting a little exercise.  He needs to learn about the calories, fat content, protein and carb content of various foods so that he can figure out how much is ok. There are many great websites that will help.  Two that I especially like are www.nutrawatch.com and www.caloriesperhour.com.  They are both free. \n\nLosing this much weight is a complicated process.  Your friend must really want to do this.  It takes a lot of motivation and will power and self control, especially in the first few weeks.  He needs to be ready to change his life style, his behavior, his eating habits.  He may be eating for emotional reasons, so that might need to be addressed through counselling.  It will be a long term process, not a quick fix.\n\nGood luck to you and your friend.  Remember that the longest journey begins with the tiniest step.

What's so special about the Mandelbrot set? Its boundary exhibits complicated structure at all length scales from about 1 down as far as you wish (or as you computer will take you) to zero. In other words, it is a fractal . You can experiment with this set yourself using the applet (the implementation of a Java code on a web page) on this page. To do so you need to have a Java compatible browser such as a recent version of Netscape, \n\nWhat is the Mandelbrot set? It's the the set of all complex numbers z for which sequence defined by the iteration \n\nz(0) = z,    z(n+1) = z(n)*z(n) + z,    n=0,1,2, ...    (1) \nremains bounded. This means that there is a number B such that the absolute value of all iterates z(n) never gets larger than B. A bounded sequence may or not have a limit. For example, if z=0 then z(n) = 0 for all n, so that the limit of the (1) is zero. On the other hand, if z=i ( i being the imaginary unit), then the sequence oscillates between i and i-1, so remains bounded but it does not converge to a limit. \n\nYou may ask, what's so special about the particular iteration (1), and why do we use complex numbers instead of real ones. In a sense, the formula (1) is the simplest other than a linear formula which would give rise to a much simpler and quite uninteresting picture. (The analog of the Mandelbrot set would be empty or the entire plane.) If we restricted the iteration (1) to the real instead of complex numbers then again we would get an uninteresting picture: the interval from -2 to 0. \n\nMuch of the fascination of the Mandelbrot set stems from the fact that an extremely simple formula like (1) gives rise to an object of such great complexity.
