What is the mechanism of action of calcium channel blockers used to lower hypertension?

You're on the right track, but you haven't got it right yet.  Calcium is neccessary in muscle fibers (cells) to contract.  I believe calcium channel blockers block the entry into smooth muscle cells, in the walls of arterioles, from the plasma.  This decreases contraction by these fibers, and thus decreases vasoconstriction.  The result is vasodilatation.  This expansion of the lumens (the hole inside the small artery on cross section) of arterioles all over the body, decreases peripheral vascular resistance, and this lowers the blood pressure.  Whew!  These drugs may also decrease the contractility or strength of contraction of the heart, which would tend to lower blood pressure as well.  Now as far as the precise subcellular mechanism, I'm a little rusty.  I'm sure it's available if you google it in.  I'm just giving you what I know as a practicing ER doc.  My favorite class of drugs for lowering blood pressure are the ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers).  I don't believe that the calcium channel blockers ever lower the serum calcium.  I've never noticed that.  I know that if a patient is overdosed on calcium channel blockers, you can reverse it somewhat by giving IV calcium.  In addition to their use for lowering blood pressure, some calcium channel blockers are used to slow the ventricular rate in supraventricular tachycardias, such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation.  We always have some concern with these drugs, if the patient has some heart failure, ie. a weak heart muscle, in that they may decrease the contractility of the heart and throw them into overt heart failure.  We don't have that concern with the ACE inhibitors and the ARB's.  The ACE inhibitors have a frequent side effect of causing a nagging cough, because they cause a buildup of histamine, but the ARB's don't have that problem.


What Do all living organisms do under enviornmental stress?

There is no answer to this question.\n\nNot all  living organisms adapt under environemental stress. We can see this simply by looking at widespread organisms like leopards. Despite living everywhere from tropical deserts to rainforest to temperate alpine tundra they remain completely indistinguishable form one another. Although a desert leopard suffers from serious environmental stress in terms of water and prey availability and a mountain leopard suffers from cold and a forest leopard suffers from fungal diseases and so forth the organisms don't adapt at all. It is a generalist species and it remains a generalist with no specific adpations to environmental stress.\n\nWe can even prove experiementally that not all species dapat to environmental stress. Simply grow a perti dish fill of different species of bacteria and let it dry out. As the water stress increases most organisms will either die or become dormant. There is no evidence whatsoever of adaptation over any time scale.\n\nSimilarly not all porganisms will flee. Most will simply die, hibernate or scrape through.\n\n\nWhat a dumb question.

Is the bird flu scare being over sold and what are the odds that it will become a pandemic involving millions?

It could become a pandemic, although it's not as likely as the media tries to sell. The avian influeza virus could become infectious to humans, but it must exchange gentic material with the human influenza virus to do so. The Influenza virus mutates its surface epitopes about avery 9 months, give or take. That's why there's no cure for the common cold, you get abrand new one every year. That means the the avian flu virus must find a compatible human flu virus to merge, and with its high mutation rate, it's ot as likely as the media believes.

Is  Australlian cricket team the best team in the world?

YES, Aus are the best team in both forms of cricket. The reasons:-\n1. They can pull out a match from disasterous situations.\n2. They have appropriate utility cricketers(probably world's best) in every aspects of the game(batting, bowling, fielding, wicket-keeping).\n3. Their domestic cricket format is the best. Since the main players are compelled to play in the domestic cricket so it is very competitive. And hence there are an abundance supply of new players, and so they can afford their rotation policy.\n4. They (Aus board) take players in the Aus team only when they are experienced in the domestic cricket for a number of years(eg. Mike Hussey, Brad Hodge, etc.), and hence the new-comers doesnt find taff to fit into the int. cricket.\n5. Because they can afford to give their players some rest due to rotation policy, so when the players come back to the team they are anxious, fresh and hungry to play.\n\nI think these are some of the many points which makes Aus different from the other teams.

love is when you wake up in the morning beside one person and look at him sleeping and think how beautifull that person is (it is known that a person is at her/his worst in the morning).\nlove is when you aren't with a person and wishing you were, and more than that, it hurts in your heart, soul and hole body, when the distance between you seems like the longest and you think of him/her and pray that he/her is fine, and that he/she will get to you faster.\nlove is when you accompany that person to the hospital in case of anything wrong and you take care of him, of his every need, and you stay by his bed and wish him well and sleep near him in case he needs somethig.\nand love is when you hold his hand and feel your heart poundig with joy, and he feels that and he kisses that hand like he would kiss god's hand and he looks in your eyes and you feel like crying from all the feelings taking you over.\nand more than that, when you are old, the feeling is still there.\nthat's love\nwonderfull, isn't it?

How to uninstall XP pro and reinstall it?

For installation of windows xp, follow the instructions in this article: \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316941\nNow, if you get to the point where it says press F8 ( function key 8, not the letter F and number 8 simultaneously. Trust me. I have stories.) and the computer is not responding, then there may be a piece of hardware causing the malfunction. \n** when doing a Format + Reload of windows xp, make sure all 3rd party peripherals are disconnected (joystick, external flash card reader, camera, mp3 player, network connections, etc.). You only want the power cable, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and speakers connected. ***\n*** Unplug the pc from the ups or surge protector (if applicable) and plug directly into the wall outlet. Some times a malfunctioning ups or surge protector can cause this problem. \n*** Monitor the temp. of the computer case. If the computer is getting really hot then you might have a bad fan or poor ventilation due to excessive dust build up in the case, which means you need to clean the dust. \n** if all els fails call the manufacturers tech support so they can diagnose and possibly remedy the problem wit a replacement part or onsite service

what are the similarities and differences between "good times" and the "Brady bunch" and what aregood examples

one was all white the other all black. Both were what Tv executives liked to portray as average for who they were. what i mean is the whites had the money in the suberbia and the blacks were just makin it in the projects. That's how TV went until the Cosby show came along and had a black family with a doctor, and a laywer who lived on the east side of New York. Other diiferences: The brady kids were irritating, and all their problems were solved in thirty minutes or less, and in Good Times they were over dramatic.

what should buy or offer to my new girlfriend of 10days before val day on val day?

Agreed. Keep it simple since you just started dating. I'd suggest dinner, or a romantic picnic (depending on the climate). You could also buy her a cute little stuffed animal or something simple to remember. Oh, if you haven't kissed her yet, save it until after dinner on Valentine's Day. She'll definitely remember that.


Your question is if "people" can go through your trash.  Most of the answers here so far are focusing on the government going through your trash and not "people."  \n\nThe Constitution is designed to protect people from the *government* invading their privacy, seizing their property, etc., not just plain old people.\n\nCan your neighbor legally go through your trash?  That would be a state law issue...in California, there's no law against it per se.  It might possibly be a trespassing issue, but that requires signs and/or requests to leave the property, generally.  \n\nEven more interesting: if your neighbor goes through your trash and finds evidence of a crime, that evidence can be admitted in court and used against you, even though the police could not have legally done what your neighbor did (provided the police didn't ask your neighbor to do it, of course).


Where was the kingdom of Timbuktu and did it affect Europe? How did it affect Italians, Portueguese, spanish?

The Mandé peoples settled the Sahel (including present-day Mali), and formed a succession of Sahelian kingdoms, including the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire, and the Songhai Empire. Timbuktu was a key city in these empires as an outpost for trans-Saharan trade and a center for scholarship. The Songhai Empire declined under a Moroccan invasion in 1591.\n\nTimbuktu had the first university - as such it was a place of learning.\n\nIn terms of its effect on Europe, in later years, Mali like the other West African countries were affected by the slave trade and later conquered by the European powers between 1880-1900.\n\nMali was invaded by France starting in 1880, which annexed it as an overseas department of France. The colony, which at times also included neighbouring countries, was known as French Sudan or the Sudanese Republic. In early 1959, the union of Mali and Senegal became the Mali Federation, which gained independence from France on June 20, 1960. Senegal withdrew from the Mali Federation after a few months. The Republic of Mali, under Modibo Keïta, withdrew from the French Community on September 22, 1960.

What do I buy my boyfriend for Valentine's Day?

I think you should get him a card and think of something he is really in to and try to incorporate that into your gift. Guys aren't all that big on receiving things for valentines day because they figure it's really the "female" hoilday.  So just make it very sweet and thoughtful! And if all fails..you can perform a striptease for him...when he comes home from work have a trail of rose petals leading from the door to the bathroom where you will be waiting in a bubblebath with rose petals in the tub and chocolate and champagne on the side. Then you will tell him how much you love and appreciate everything he has done for you and that you are glad that you two have found true love in each other!! Let me know if I was helpful...

I thought with the yahoo blocker I would get rid of the popups but they are still popping up all the time what

Pop-ups are a direct result of a spyware infection. You need to clean your system.  I recommend you download and run all of the files listed in the link below, except HijackThis.  I do PC repair professionally and we mostly use a barage of freeware tools to combat this stuff.  We also have the paid programs, but this should get you on the right track.\nI recommend you download, install, and run all of these programs.  Some spyware programs can re-install themselves if not completely removed.  When you finish a scan and the computer says you should restart, don't. Just close the program and run another scan w/ a different program. I suggest you not run HijackThis unless you know what you are doing because HijackThis, although it is a great and powerful tool, has the ability to remove harmless programs. It's up to you to determine the good and bad.\nAfter your spyware scans are through, restart the system and run a couple of free online virus scans from the provided links.\nIt might be in your interest to invest in a good commercial (paid) anti-spyware program. I recommend SpySweeper.  You can usually download this directly from Webroot for about $20.  The advantage of a commercial program is that they offer real-time protection, meaning they prevent infection as opposed to post-infection removal.

is domestic eavesdropping in effect now and is every conversation or typings being recorded or observed?

Yes, all electronic communication is recorded into a big computer database.  A program sifts through looking for specific things, which are then brought to the attention of a person.  The person reviews.  So for example the fact that I type President Bush is a great President,  that will be reviewed, and the person reviewing will dismiss.\n\nPeople who plot things there communication is reviewed, and possibly government intervenes.\n\nEverything you type in an email or yahoo answers or say on a cell phone is monitored,  and with key phrases reviewed.  Do nothing violent against your government and you have nothing to worry about.


What is the relationship between the long bones of the human body and blood cell production? Explain?

After birth, red bone marrow (myeloid tissue) in long bones is responsible for hematopoiesis, which is the process by which blood cells are formed. Hemocytoblasts are the stem cells that give rise to the five types of blood cells.  Proerythroblasts eventually become reticulocytes, and then erythrocytes (red blood cells)within a couple days after leaving the marrow; myeloblasts become neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils; monoblasts become monocytes; lymphoblasts become lymphocytes; and megakaryoblasts become thrombocytes (platelets), which are really just cell fragments.


wt is the relation b/w tolerance and quality?

At one time most machines were hand-crafted including rifles.  You could make part A then make part B that would fit it.\n\nMass production of parts that must fit together require any part A to fit any part B and properly work in any finished machine.  Quality Control may insure that all the materials used are correct to prevent unsafe substitutions.  However, experienced designers establish the tolerances for the needed parts to avoid rejects but insure parts will always function properly with required parts lives.  Often tolerances are propritary info and closely guarded because of the expense required to get it right.  Competitors would love to skip all the bother and make an adequate machine at less cost based on someone else's research and experience.  Machinists manufacture the parts to be within the tolerances specified on mechanical drawings.  Quality Control samples the parts to ensure compliance with the drawings and sometimes checks every part if critical.  If tolerances are set too tight costs will escalate and rejects will abound and if tolerances are too loose, machines may malfunction.  The objective is to strike a happy medium (good quality) to manufacture successful machines at reasonable costs.


One example is as a method of teaching many ELS and EFL students in a manner that will help reinforce and motivate production and understanding of a second language. All the while prompting self-expression and proficiency as well in the language being taught.\nTask based studies are also popular in many other areas in our life, such as writing.\nLOL I hope I'm close!

Per Wikipedia: "The spirochaetes (or spirochetes) are a phylum of distinctive bacteria, which have long, helically coiled cells. They are distinguished by the presence of flagella running lengthwise between the cell membrane and cell wall, called axial filaments. These cause a twisting motion which allows the spirochaete to move about. Most spirochaetes are free-living and anaerobic, but there are numerous exceptions."

who is this ugly ahmadinejad, president!! of Iran?

Well to be un baised He is the elected president of Islamic Republic of Iran and He is backed by majority of Iran's younger generation for his current reforms in social and justice sectors.\nMahmoud Ahmadinejad was born in Garmsar, the fourth of seven children born to an ironworker. Ahmadinejad and his family migrated to Tehran when he was one year old. In 1975, he ranked 130th in the nationwide university entrance exams. He then got his diploma and was admitted to the Iran University of Science and Technology in the field of civil engineering. He was accepted as an MS student at the same university in 1984 and got his doctorate in 1987 in the field of engineering and traffic transportation planning while he was the governor of Ardabil province.\n\nHe is a bold personality and do not hesitate to speak bitter truth which is not acceptable of west especially Jews and ugly Isrealis who has captured Palestine after being pushed from europe by christians due to their cheep and fraudulent nature.\n\nIn February 2006 Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying: "Now in the West insulting the prophet is allowed, but questioning the Holocaust is considered a crime. We ask, why do you insult the prophet? The response is that it is a matter of freedom, while in fact they are hostages of the Zionists." \n\nAnd the above statement is true 100%.\n\nSo in the end i will say that he is the only muslim leader who speaks truth and which is not accepted to the Zionists and their supporters.

what is the best way to get out of debt and what is the fastest way?

what is your debt situation? consumer debt is BAD debt (credit cards, car loans, and even student loans).\n\nGOOD debt includes mortgages and business loans (provided the business is profitable).\n\nwith your credit cards:\nfigure out which one would be paid off first if you\nonly paid the minimum each month. line up the credit\ncards in order of getting it paid off first to last.\n\npay the minimums on all the cards except the credit\ncard first in line. on the first card pay the minimum\nPLUS whatever you can come up with (at least $100). once that card is paid\noff, move to the second card. this time, take what you\nwere paying on the first card PLUS the minimum on the\n2nd card, PLUS the $100+.\n\nyou can chart this out, and see how fast you can get\nyour cards paid off once you get rolling.\n\nIMPORTANT: do NOT close the credit card accounts once\nthey're paid off.\n\nin the mean time: scale down. cancel cell phones,\ncable, magazine subscriptions, carpool to work (do you\nhave an extra car? sell it, save on insurance and\ngas), stop eating out.\n\nfastest way: refinance your house, pull money out and pay off the cards. (this method is not recommended, as it sets you up to get back in debt.)\n\nthe harder it is to get out of debt, the less likely you'll end up in debt again!\n\n:)


Can your employer demand you keep your company phone on during off duty time even if you are not on call?

Unfortunately, an employer can pretty much demand an employee to do anything that's not illegal.  The only exception would be if there was an employment agreement signed that specifically outlines duties.\n\nIs it right?  I don't think so.  But other than finding another job or risk getting fired, I don't think there's a thing you can do about it.

In fact, those three words appear nowhere in the Constitution. \n\nOblivious to the irrelevance of their arguments, and at the same time refusing to acknowledge that no document of state, let alone the Constitution, has ever proposed such a concept, those on the Left have tried to convince the American people that our founding documents warned of the dangers of mixing politics and religion.\n\nAnytime religion is mentioned within the confines of government today people cry, "Separation of Church and State".  Many people think this statement appears in the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution and therefore must be strictly enforced.  However, the words: "separation", "church", and "state" do not even appear in the first amendment.  The first amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."  The statement about a wall of separation between church and state was made in a letter on January 1, 1802, by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut.  The congregation heard a widespread rumor that the Congregationalists, another denomination, were to become the national religion.  This was very alarming to people who knew about religious persecution in England by the state established church.  Jefferson made it clear in his letter to the Danbury Congregation that the separation was to be that government would not establish a national religion or dictate to men how to worship God.  Jefferson's letter from which the phrase "separation of church and state" was taken affirmed first amendment rights.  Jefferson wrote: \n\nI contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.  (1)\nThe reason Jefferson choose the expression "separation of church and state" was because he was addressing a Baptist congregation; a denomination of which he was not a member.  Jefferson wanted to remove all fears that the state would make dictates to the church.  He was establishing common ground with the Baptists by borrowing the words of Roger Williams, one of the Baptist's own prominent preachers.  Williams had said: \nWhen they have opened a gap in the hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the Church and the wilderness of the world, God hath ever broke down the wall itself, removed the candlestick, and made his garden a wilderness, as at this day.  And that there fore if He will eer please to restore His garden and paradise again, it must of necessity be walled in peculiarly unto Himself from the world...(2) \n\nThe "wall" was understood as one-directional; its purpose was to protect the church from the state.  The world was not to corrupt the church, yet the church was free to teach the people Biblical values. \n\nThe American people knew what would happen if the State established the Church like in England.  Even though it was not recent history to them, they knew that England went so far as forbidding worship in private homes and sponsoring all church activities and keeping people under strict dictates.  They were forced to go to the state established church and do things that were contrary to their conscience.  No other churches were allowed, and mandatory attendance of the established church was compelled under the Conventicle Act of 1665.  Failure to comply would result in imprisonment and torture.  The people did not want freedom from religion, but freedom of religion.  The only real reason to separate the church from t


What is the difficulties encounted when learning roller blading?

It depends on what your goals are.  If you're a beginner, balance and uneven pavement will be your greatest obstacles.  If you have ever skated on ice, you'll be ahead of the game.  If not - take some lessons.  Common injuries to beginners are usually to the wrists and the head.  Wear a wrist guards and a helmet.  Here's a beginner's tip for you:  learn to glide/roll on one skate at a time to develop better balance.


can I legally buy a m-18(mk-8) rifle? if so where and how, and for how much?

Depending on the state in which you reside, the answer may be a qualified "yes." In order to purchase a Class III (select fire) firearm, you need a couple of things:\n\n1. It has to be legal in your state.\n\n2. You need permission from the chief law enforcement officer in your county - ordinarily the sheriff.\n\n3. You need to decide EXACTLY what firearm you want to purchase - not just the model, but the exact serial number. You'll need that for the next step.\n\n3a. The firearm has to have been manufactured, assembled (and imported, where applicable)  prior to May 19, 1986.\n\n4. You need to fill out an ATF form (number escapes me) begging permission from them to own such a firearm. You need to include the serial number, hence step #3.\n\n5. You need to have a secure location to place the firearm in your house. The ATF can show up any time - day or night - for a spot check to see that the gun is on the premises listed in step 4 and that you're the only one that has access to it.\n\n6. You need to pay a $200 tax for having such a firearm. I don't recall if it's $200 once or every year, but it's a pittance. Annoying, but a pittance.\n\nReally, your best bet is to find a dealer that specializes in Class III firearms. A quick call to a local gun shop will help you find one.


Do you know what happened to Teo Peter? And to the the guy who killed him? Has he ever been brought to trial?

The marine was aquitted. One of many harsh injustices small countries must put up with from developed countries who abuse power. I wonder what would have happened if a Romanian soldier killed some redneck american country star in Washington DC.\nSmall countries should start acting, dammit! Being money whores for big countries just doesn't pay off.


Is these grants to help fund a charitable event?

I don't think there are any. \n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


is there some hotline that leaders around the world use to contact each other in case of emergency?

The most famous line of this type is the direct communications line between the Russian and American administrations.  It has been called "the hot line" and the "red telephone".   The original stated purpose of the line was to prevent a misunderstanding from triggering a nuclear war.   It was intially established in 1963 as a radiotelegraph line.  Its first actual use was during the 1967 Six-Day Arab Israeli war. In the early 1970s, the telegraph was replaced with an actual phone line, which was also supplemented by satellite communications systems and high speed fax.  The most recent use of the line has been to hammer out joint positions on the war in Iraq.\n\nThe lline itself is encrypted to prevent hacking, and besides the primary voice channel there are two satellite channels carried over US and Russian satellites.

Is hyperthyroidism The same as graves disease?

Hyperthyroidism is any condition that results in too much thyroid hormone being produced by the thyroid gland.  Grave's disease is one cause of this condition where the entire gland becomes "overactive" and produces too much thyroid hormone.  There are other conditions that cause hyperthyroidism, but the mechnism and nature of these conditions are different from Grave's disease.  Tumors of the thyroid, and sometimes an inflammation of the thyroid can also cause hyperthyroidism.  Your doctor can do tests to determine the cause.  So in short, Grave's disease is not synonymous with hyperthyroidism, but it is one cause of it.

how does scientist discover the layers of the earth?

In a nutshell === by measuring Seismic waves, its how they know the layers of the earth. each layer reflects the waves differently and from this they can tell what it is made of. Also using laws of physics. There must be a solid core and a liquid (magma) rotating around this solid iron core to generate a magnetic field......


How can organizations ensure that their resources are allocated appropriately?

Short answer: you can't.\n\nTake a corporate budget; you have limited financial resources to allocate.  Marketing will want increased dollars and will make a good case for it.  Higher product visibility means higher sales volume, therefore higher revenue, therefore higher gross profit.  Manufacturing will want more dollars and will make a good case for it.  Better equipment means lower manufacturing costs, means higher gross profit.  Research and Development will want more dollars and make a good case for it.  Better products means higher sales volume, therefore higher gross profit.  Who's right?  As CEO, you make the decision based on personal experience and anecdotal evidence from other companies; you just do your best.\n\nAnd you can't even know if it was correct after the fact, because even if your decision yields a profit, a different decision might have meant more profit.  And, heck, even if you somehow *could* know that one way worked out for a better profit for the upcoming fiscal year, the other might have been better long-term so you have to weigh that decision.\n\nBottom line, you can never *ensure* the resources are correctly allocated, you can only ensure that every effort is made to utilize the resources in the best possible fashion for the company's long-term and short-term success.  You do that by bringing the best human resources to the table, allow full input into the process, then go for it.


Have you ever heard that sunscreen causes skin cancer?

I have clicked on the link and I read about a chemical substance(filter), that is called PBSA and is contained in some sunscreens. \nIt's impressing!\nWe put on our skin a product in order to protect it and we do exactly the opposite! Thanks for the information. I haven't heard about this, but BBC site is a trustworthy site, so this notice must be valid.\nI suppose that this special case is the result of a European Union program about chemicals, their detection and their elimination from our daily life.\n\nKaterina

What do you think "supercalifrajelisticexpealidotious" means....??

oh but there is a dictionary answer for it. You just gotta look in the right dictionary.....\n"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is the 34-lettered song title from the 1964 movie Mary Poppins. As a song title, it is a proper noun, but the word, and variations, has entered the English language as an adjective. It is one of the longest words in the English language.\n\nThe song describes using the word as a miraculous way to talk oneself out of difficult situations, and even as a way to change one's life. The song appears in the film's animated sequence where Mary Poppins is harangued by reporters after winning a horse race and responds to one claiming there are not words to describe her feelings of the moment. Mary disagrees with that and begins the song about one word she can use.

I'm not sure what water tanks you are asking about.  I'm going to guess that you are referring to city water systems with towers holding large water tanks.\n\nThey are filled by pumps.  Wells are drilled and the water is pumped from them to these large tanks.  From the tanks gravity moves the water throughout the community to meet demand.

Stock traders and investors share the responsibility of financing equity for corporations worldwide. Those able to profit from their operations consistently are among the highest level businesspeople in the world. Many people do gamble on stocks. It doesn't have to be like a casino, but many people treat it that way.\n\nOn a basic blackjack hand, when you lose, you lose 100%. In the stock market, you (usually) get to decide how much you lose. My absolute limit is 7%, but usually less. With time you can learn to hold stocks until they go up at least 21%. In this way you have built a 1:3 risk reward / ratio. Try getting that in any casino.\n\nThe stock market will give you all the risk you want. Managing that risk like a professional is the key to success.

I have always heard bad things about dell pcs.?

I find Dell PC's to be very reliable for the most part. It is true that they offshored their tech support so now it sucks. Also they have now started bundling AOL with all their consumer computers (even if you ask for earthlink instead) causing a major impact on computer performance. Over the last 5 years, I have ordered several servers, several desk tops, and a laptop. The only problem I ever had was a bad CD burner for which they shipped a replacement in a timely manner. Since I started doing PC repair again in the last few years, I have seen a lot of Gateways and HP's needing service but not one Dell.

The people that can help are the Peace Corps. Ask what they would like to have and work from there.

Maybe you have someting particular for them.\nI'll list an interesting book about working in China. There is a short movie also.

For certain research or teaching, your civil engineering degree and experience may even be a big plus that others won't have.  Good luck.

Is it wrong to feel attraction towards the same sex or being gay/bisexual ?

Its perfectly OK. C'mon people we are living in the 21st century now.\n\nAnd for all those, who use Bible as a weapon against homosexual desires, I'd like to tell you that its not Jesus himself that wrote it. How can you gaurantee that whosoever wrote it, did not misinterpret Jesus. \n\nIts only the "personal interpretations" of the homophobics that make it against it. Even rayburnlarry above has cited a "version" of Bible, while going against same sex love.\n\nJesus, the messiah always promoted love, understanding and accepting those who might be different from us.\n\nNothing makes God, the Jesus more happier than seeing Love rather than hatred and selfishness.

how can i become a "secret shopper" without being scammed?

I would say the chances of not being scammed are slim.  However, if you are hired by the company itself then there are no problems.  Companies like Best Buy hire underage people whose job is to buy "Mature" rated games.  That kind of stuff works.  However, if you find an ad online, i would recommend that you be very cautious before giving out your personal information.

Why did Chelsea fc lost scandalously to{3:0} M'borough last weekend in the English premiership match?

When José Mourinho arrived at England, altough he had won the UEFA Cup and the Champions League, his tactics were as new for the english championship.\nNow the element of suprise has vanished, teams try to win Chelsea conquering the midfield knowing the lack of talented players in the front.\nI think that Chelsea from now on will have to try harder and probably make some changes in the front where Drogba is the only player that matches Mourinho system. Mourinho usually likes to play with a highly creative nº10, Deco in Porto was the reference, now the portuguese international is out of range for chelsea as he is playing in Barcelona FC, Chelsea will have to find an answer for this problem.

why don't you get goosebumps on the tops of your hands,feet and on your face?????

I get goosebumps on the backs of my hands and my cheeks. They may not be as noticable in those places if the skin is coarse, but they still occur, at leat on my body. YMMV.\n\n\nEdit:\n\nAll you people syaing that you have no hair on the tops of your hands, your feet or your face. I guess that's possible but you do realise that you are in a distinct minority, right? Most people do have hair on the backs of their hands, their feet and their faces. We even have a special name for the hair on men's faces, we call it beard.\n\nSo lack of hair can't be the answer.

Has anyone had a palette expander put in their mouth by the orthodontist?

My son had one.  It is a process, but the experience does come to an end eventually.  We bought a book with lots of stories in it.  Every night as he was tucked in bed, I would crank the expanders and read the next story.  It was a little like marking the calendar, but he really liked that part.  Maybe there is some ritual that you can work on with your family that would help the days pass a little more quickly with a little more fun.  (We actually read through two books.)\n\nThe following is from my son:\nI have had a palette expander before, and when I ate it was tough to chew meat.  I didn't like getting it expanded because it hurt my teeth every night.  It expanded my teeth a lot, and the pain and agony was worth it.  I was 10.

What you produce yourself in your own body.  Remember, any time you adjust your body chemistry, the biochemicals that produce the same effect are reduced, thus creating more and more a dependency on the external substance to produce the same effect.  This a basic fundamental property of biochemistry.  This is one reason why certain medicines are prescription only, and why many illegal drugs require greater and greater amounts to bring about the same effect.\nBe careful to decide whether it is worth the reduced brain activity that will likely follow for a time.\nAt the same time, certain elements, vitamins, and minerals are necessary for basic brain function.  This might be a more productive line, kind of like making sure the troops have the supplies there and ready before they need them, so they don't have to wait for grub before going to battle.

What sort of info is required in a company CV or profile?

Not clear, you need to create a company profile (a profile of the whole company) or provide your CV for a company's proposal?\n\nFor your personal CV, you don't want to just create a chronological list of all the places you ever worked (like a resume you might use for jobhunting).  You want to highlight your area of expertise, relevant skills, relevant traininig, previous work experience relevant to the project and examples of projects that you worked on, any awards you received, or articles you may have published. \n\nFor a company profile you want to provide short intro about the company, the company's mission, areas of expertise, accomplishments/awards and relevant projects.\n\nThat's just a short listing off the cuff. There's more you could include in either, depending on your situation, the industry and the type of contract you are trying for.  \n\nThere's no beating research when you have to do something for the first time: do some web searching for examples of either professional CV or company profile in the industry you are in.  Samples and templates are usually avaialable, and while you are at it, check out what the competition is saying about themselves.   You will turn up a number of resources that should prove helpful\n\nGood luck!

The extinction coefficient is different for every compound.  Some of them are reported in the literature.  If you are doing a lab for a class and need it, you can probably get hints at your professor's office hours or it might be in some kind of handout.  Or you might be supposed to be calculating it from your data.  The extinction coefficient is a number that expresses how strongly a given compound absorbs light at a particular wavelength.

What are the side effects of using steroids?

Below are only some of the side effects associated with steroid use. Some steroids lead to more side effects than others. In most cases, the more effective the steorid, the more negative effects the user will see.\n\nWater Retention:\n\nThis is most common from using steroids. It is a “puffiness” or swelling in the neck and facial areas. It is rather notable mainly if you know the person is on steroids. For example, I know someone that took steroids but I did not know it at the time. After I found out, if I looked his face I would wonder how I couldn’t notice he was on roids before. It can be mild swelling or very serious, obvious swelling. \n\nAcne: \n\nEveryone knows about acne, and is one of the side effects I worry about the most for me. It is also a very common side effect, it can give acne to someone who has never had acne, and it can make acne worse for others. It can also appear in new places for a person, such as, the back and neck. There have been several users that have not received acne on the other hand. \n\nGynecomastia: \n\nIt may not sound familiar but most people have heard about it. It is the formation of breasts, or abnormally large glands. The first signs are lumps under the nipples, then will gradually grow to fatty tissue and increase in size. \n\nAggression: \n\nAggression, also know as “roid rages”. Surprisingly, several athletes feel this is a positive effect. They often find they lift more, and are more intense during workouts. On the negative side, users find themselves fighting with family, friends, and co-workers with an uptight behaviour. \n\nHypertension: \n\nHigh blood pressure is also a chance when taking steroids. Most athletes would not know if they had high blood pressure so it is suggested to get tests regularly. High blood pressure can lead to many more serious diseases. \n\nCardiovascular Disease: \n\nStudies have shown that steroid use is a risk factor for heart disease. This is because steroids affect the cholesterol levels. Over a period of time the cholesterol builds up and clogs the arteries. \n\nPalpitations: \n\nHeart palpitations have been reported by a number of athletes on steroids. These may indicate an excited or elevated level of the central nervous system. \n\nImpotence: \n\nImpotence occurs when a user goes on and off steroids. When steroids are first used sexual interest increases because of the heightened frequency and duration of the erections. But eventually the opposite happens and no erections can be produced. \n\nJaundice: \n\nA serious liver disease which is found by an enlarged painful liver, yellowing of the eyes and skin, and flu like symptoms. This happens when athletes use high dosages of steroids.

How often do you buy a new computer and how much do you spend?

I buy a new one every two to three years and spend between $800 to $1000.\n\nYou're never too old for a computer, although I think some adults are still too young for one ;-)\n\nEdited to add: \nI've been using computers since 1989 (DOS). My husband and I were regular visitors to a computer expo where you could have a computer built directly to your specs and for a long time we saved a lot of money this way and ALWAYS had the most up-to-date equipment, biggest hard drives, most RAM, etc.\n\nHowever things change and this is no longer true. Dell, Gateway, HP and others now sell computers with decent specs and at comparable prices to what you could do getting it built to your specs, or building it yourself.\n\nThe only time I would recommend doing a lengthy course of education to build computers is if;\n   ( 1 ) you want to do it as a business or you want to repair them as a business, \n   ( 2 ) you are an extreme gamer and want to push the equipment as far as you can.\n\nIn both of those instances you absolutely need to know what you're doing. Otherwise it's not necessary.

I wan to know the origin of the word  n i g g e r?

The word you are referring to was a place people were from. Thats how at that time they were labeled, by where they had been taken from. It didn't originate with 2 G's but one as in Niger. But over time thats how all african americans became reffered to. In all honesty, it might not mean as much as it does had it not been used the way it was. But because it was said with such hate and disgust it became a new curse word. And I think the reason that african americans can use to word on each other without being offended is this. Not all of us are like them and we can't say that we know how it is to be them. So for someone of a different race to say it to them is to be discriminated against.


What is a Carbon cycle? explai it  do not copy from internet.?

carbon is found in the ground in the form of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil. when we dig those fuels up and use them the carbon in the fuels reacts with oxygen(it burns!) to produce carbon dioxide, which then enters the atmosphere. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas the more of it in the atmosphere the hotter the planet gets.\nAll this is caused by a very important idea in chemistry called the law of conservation of matter.  matter is never created nor destroyed.  in the case of carbon it is moved from underground where it doesn't do any harm to the planet to the atmosphere where it does.

Quitting “Cold turkey”- People can and do quit chewing on their own. The health professional can be very helpful by encouraging quitting and giving support whenever possible. Chewers who have not been chewing very long are often successful with this method.\n\nChewing an alternative- Oral gratification "missing having something in my mouth", behavioral rituals and peer pressure are powerful influences to keep a person using smokeless tobacco. Here is where using healthy alternatives like Mint Snuff All Mint Chew or Pouches becomes so valuable. They allow the patient to continue the behavior and yield to whatever pressures keep them chewing but without the danger of tobacco. Some people can quit the behavior altogether after a few weeks, others take longer. If they quit and then feel the need to relapse, they can once again use Mint Snuff until the urge passes.\n\nThe link will give you other alternatives.\n\nGood Luck!

why are rainbows curved while most spretrus are straght?

The curvature of the rainbow is a consequence of having only those raindrops that are at the vertices of 42 degree angles between you and the sun. The collection of all these raindrops is of course an arc. \n\nThe light enters the raindrop from behind you, and bounces off its back surface. The colors separate, because each color has a different speed in the water, and therefore refract a different amount.

Is there any free help out there for people that have hypothyroid?

Sorry to hear of your problem.  I don't know exactly what help you mat need but assistance with meds can be found at this website:\nhttps://www.pparx.org/Intro.php\nAs far as assistance with seeing a doctor or other medical care, check with local health departmants, clinics and even hospitals.  Many hospitals and some private doctors have programs to help low income people to recieve treatment for little or no cost.  Many times a chaplans office inthe hospital is a great place to start.  If you are of low income I would also check with Social Security, State and local health  departments and social service organizations like St. Vincent DePaul or the Salvation Army. I wish you luck and hope this might help.


How can I stop sinuses from draining down my throat?

A doc once told me to snort salt water up my nose.  It works in breaking up sinus blockage and makes the mucus more fluid so it dosen't bother you.  \n\nTake a shallow saucer and use distilled water and salt.  Make the water taste like sea water.  If is burns your nasal area it is to much salt.  Put both nostrals in the saucer of water and snore it up your nose and let the water run back out your mouth.  Make sure you have plenty of paper towels to blow your nose.  Once a week until you feel better should do it.  Then when ever you feel to much drainage do it again.  Don't do it to often can dry out nose.\n\nI am sinus drainage free for many years now.  Good luck!

Does it matter if a person is kinda big and wants to get their belly pierced?? or do u have to be skinny?

It's your body, and you can pierce whatever you want to pierce. Personally, I don't like belly rings, and I wouldn't get one. (I'm thick, too) That is my personal opinion, and that's what you asked for right? I don't think you have to be skinny to have one. You don't have to be skinny to wear halter tops. You don't have to be skinny to wear low cut jeans. You don't have to be skinny to wear tank tops. You don't have to be skinny to wear shorts. Or anything else that the skinny girls tell you that you shouldn't wear!

Do killer bees scare you?  truth or \nhype?

Killer bees are actually Africanized honey bees. Killer bees are actually SMALLER than regular European honey bees but are otherwise exceedingly similar to normal honey bees, the other notable exception is the trigger to attack, the code in the DNA, makes them exceedingly more aggressive than normal honey bees. The venom is the same in both.\n\nBeing stung to death by bees seems truly terrifying way to go. I do not think it is all hype. They can attack for a humans presense within 100 yards of the nest they are constructing. Just being too close to it triggers an attack. However there are other more realistic threats that scare me a bit more, but what could be worse?

You probably think that you love him.  But the problem with chatting with someone you never met, is you have no idea if that is the "real" them.  Most times it is not.  Everyone shares the best things about themselves, so you aren't going to know all the weird, quirky, or even disturbing things.  Not to mention the stuff they tell you could be completely made up.\nI believe it is possible to love what you believe is the person, but you could be loving a made-up person.


what are the differrences between cut and uncut penises in details ?

What the above poster had said is false.  Hygiene depends strictly on the individual and circumsized people are just as prone to infection or bacteria as uncut people depending on how clean that individual is. Other than that is basically started off as a religious ritual but has no effect on the organ itself.

What's the difference between cute, pretty, beautiful and stunning when used to describe a woman?

The difference comes from within. \n\nYou are a mixture of what you feel and what you know. Most of the times what you feel overtakes what you know about yourself and about the others. If you feel stunning, then you are a stunning woman. But if you feel miserable, doesn't matter how you look to the others.\n\nHow do you feel about yourself?

How old must an debt be before I can make them take it off my credit report?

It's sort of a catch-22.  Most things remain on your credit report for 7 years (such as a late payment).  If it goes to collections (let's say after 3 years) then the 7-years starts over again with that item on your credit report.  However, let's say you realize it after another 2 years, want to stop it from being a negative on your credit report, so you repay it - the collections agency will mark it on your credit report as paid, and it resets for another 7 years!  So, while it helps you to repay it, it hurts you at the same time (if you don't repay it, it will always negatively affect your credit score, even if it doesn't appear on there, and the credit agency can always exercise a lien on any money you make down the road).

Hi, my girlfriend decided to leave me the other night,what can i do to feel a little better?

While it is to easy to succumb to the emotional anguish that is consuming you at this early stage you must put a few bricks up to get through it. Do not drive yourself insane with analizing the last five years. Enlist a support group, best friends, family etc. Go out to the movies, nothing romantic, just a good comedy, horror, action you get the point. Invite some friends over for a dinner party or skip the dinner and just party. Ask each of them to bring a new friend, someone you've never met. Meeting new people is a stimulant. Involve yourself in your favorite activities or hobbies to keep your mind occupied. Submerse yourself in some great books. Pamper yourself a little go on a shopping trip, but something fun and frivolous. Keeping busy is the best thing. Of course the nights will be the roughest. Go ahead and allow yourself to think about her if she comes to mind while you are trying to drift off to sleep. It is part of the healing process. Cry if need be, tears are the cleansing of our soul. Eventually the sorrow will subside. While I think it is important to surround yourself with good friends and meet new people just don't hook up with anyone. Five years is a long time to be with someone, you'll need to take a good year being single to rediscover who you are before enerting the dating game. Have fun, and remember it's ok to have your ups and downs. You'll be fine and who knows in the near future you may come to think the break up was a good thing, usually when one door closes it's because another is getting ready to open. Old cliche I know but it is so true.


Be nice and loving + make them feel important.

How would planting more trees reduce the effects of global warming?

Trees inhale Carbon Dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas.  A greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat adn sunlight without allowing it to escape. (like a hot car out in the sun all day) Animals exhale Carbon Dioxide adding it to the atmosphere creating a greenhouse effect and increase Global warming(as well as all our ne technology...cars...etc) Anyway, whith the growth of more trees, they breathe in Carbon Dioxide reducing the amount of the gas, adn allowing more heat to escape.  plus they exhale Oxygen so we can have more to breathe!\n\nI know that was longwinded...but it will help i hope!

Sometimes the reason people may think they are afraid of swimming may be sensory related.  You may not actually be afraid of the water but may the feeling of it may tell you that you don't want to swim.  Try walking in the water and different movements to really get the feel of the water. And practice some breath control above the water to get the feeling of it.  Some places have swim lessons for teens and adults that could help too, or even a private instructor could help you out.

Anybody else "fed up" with nfl officiating ?

I admit, I was pissed at the officials watching the Super Bowl.  But with that said, I don't think officials are getting any worse then they were 5, 10, 20 years ago.  \n\nOfficiating is simply relying on your best judgement at a very high rate of speed without the benefit of instant replay in slow motion (unless of course it's challenged).  The officials know the rules and the league now has instant replay for QA purposes.  I don't know where we would benefit by having officials work full time.  They are graded every game and they watch the film weekly to see what went right and what went wrong.

why do they have school during winter, agust and spring and not summer?

I think there are several reasons for having a long school break in the summer.\n\nBefore air conditionning, many places would be too hot to have school.  Kids couldn't sit still very well.\n\nIn farming communities, kids needed to be helping out their families in the summer.\n\nWhen people started taking vacations, they wanted to do it when they could be outside.  Summer is best for that.

What are Kegel exercises and do they really work?

Kegel exercises are when you (if your a girl) flex the muscles in your vagina like your holding in pee.
