Time travel seems to make sense to us because we have the concepts of past and future.  In particular, we can vividly picture in our minds the parts of the past we have experienced.  The past can seem to have a kind of reality because of memory, as the can future because of imagination.  But, neither the past nor the future have any real existence.  There is only the present.\n\nTime is not a container like space is.  We can travel in space because other places really exist.  Time is not a container.  There's nowhere to go.  So, no, time travel is not possible.


My dad has this condition and has never drank in his life until my Mom passed away.  He couldn't deal with it so he had an alcoholic beverage.  Within 24 hours he had a Grand Mal Seizure in the shower and almost drowned.  He had to be rushed to the ER for a fractured back.  Thank God I found him when I did.  \n\nYou should always ask your Doctor about these things but I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

How to clean my sony VAIO laptop monitor?

You can get anti static cleaning wipes from places like radio shack, walmat, walgreens and many more places. The dirty marks left behind is just dirt that you didn't get the first time. You can use NON Ammonia windex, just make sure it is NON ammoniated. Ammonia is bad for the plastic. Always spay it on the clean towel, never the monitor, or LCD. If you feel uncomfortable with NON ammonia windex then go for either a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water or the anti static wipes. Below is a cut and paste from a Tech Republic download on repairing and maintaining Laptops.\n\nStandard Cleaners\nFor the most basic function—cleaning exterior LCD screens, keyboards, and cases—various chemicals\nare available. I normally recommend one of the following:\n■ 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water\n■ Nonammoniated glass cleaner\n■ Pure water (hot water works best)\nOther solutions such as antistatic LCD cleaning cloths and Kimwipes are also acceptable alternatives.\nCaution\nIsopropyl alcohol is a flammable liquid. Do not use alcohol cleaner near an exposed flame or when the system is on.\nThe solutions should generally be in liquid form, not a spray. Sprays can be wasteful, and you should\nnever spray the solution directly on the system anyway. Instead, lightly moisten a soft lint-free cloth,\nwhich is then used to wipe down the parts to be cleaned.\n\nCleaning the LCD and Case\nTo clean the exterior of your laptop system, use the following procedure:\nLightly moisten a soft lint-free cloth with either a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, nonammoniated\nglass cleaner, or pure water (hot water works best). Never spray liquid cleaner directly on\nthe system, especially the display or keyboard.\nGently wipe the LCD panel with the moistened cloth and then follow with a dry cloth. Be sure the\ncloth is not wet enough to drip and that the LCD is completely dry when you’re finished. Antistatic\nChapter 3\n88 Chapter 3 System Maintenance and Assembly\nLCD-cleaning cloths and Kimwipes are also acceptable alternatives. Do not use standard paper towels,\nwhich can scratch the LCD, or window cleaners with ammonia, which can damage or stain the LCD.\nNote\nKimwipes are disposable 8.5- by 4.5-inch wipes, basically heavy-duty lint-free paper towels. They are a trademarked\nbrand of Kimberly-Clark Corp., along with Kleenex, and are very popular in industrial, laboratory, and photographic use.\n\nI use the a 50-50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, I use distilled water in the mixture (no minerals in the water means no mineral deposits on the screen).\n\nI hope this helps, Good Luck.


I've already had my period this month, but I'm having what feels like menstrual cramps?

It sounds like middleschmirtz. You can look it up on the web (yea, that is really the name). It is painful ovulation. Starts about two weeks or so after your last period began. It can cause mild to severe cramping feeling and lower back pain. (You would think we suffer enoung with the rest of the whole female cycle! Geesh!)\n\nLook in to it. That may be what is going on. \nAnother that I can think of is ovarian cysts. That can cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort too.\n\nEither way, if it continues, probably would be a good idea to see your OBGYN


y do ppl think wrong 4 wat i ask hey i'm just wondering?

As far as planets go, Mercury.  All the time.  No planet ever gets closer.  I'm not quite sure what these folks are trying to pull with "pluto" but the closest it ever gets to the sun is still over 26 times farther away than the earth's orbit.\n\nComets and asteroids can get really close to the sun, in fact there is a class of comets that we call "sungrazers" they actually fall into the sun and never return.

isnt there a way to format a partition which is a a boot or system partition?

First off you can not format your main "Boot Partition" unless you are going to create a Ghost disk to install after you FDISK or format and keep the OS still.  Once you format / FDISK your Boot Partition it is gone and you have to reinstall your O/S from scratch. (I format my system about once every 6 mo. to make sure crap is cleared up anyway.)\n\nThe difference between a "Boot" and a "System" partition is the boot partition has your MBR (Master Boot Record) loaded on it.  Which in all means the Boot information for your O/S.  (You can have multiple bootable partitions called a Dual/Tri/or even now I've seen Quade boot systems.)  And is your system has to have this partition to boot into any OS.\n\nThe "System" partition is a partition doesn't have to be on a system but can be setup if you have a large hard drive.  (i.e.  300GB drive and you want to make 3 partitions 1-100G "Boot Partition" 2-100GB "System Partitions")  This type of partition doesn't have an MBR.

I am really quite familiar with the kind of guy that you described.  [I was exactly like that before!]  It sounds like he is favoring up to you and you are catching the vibes that he is sending out.  He seems to have other "multiple activity" going on in his life; but believe me, you can surely bring all of that to a halt, and turn him into a lovable little Teddy Bear.  It really does appear that it's you that he is after.  And you just watch!  Once you nail him, he will forget all of those other gals as if they never even existed to begin with.  And once they pick it up that someone nailed him, they won't have anything to do with him either.  It's like a mating-season.  If you are not in it then you don't even notice it. BTW, a well-known symptom of what you described is for him to ask you to hook up with one of your friends.  It's not your friends he is after!  He IS AFTER YOU!!!


how do you calculate a single sampled t-test?

Check http://www-class.unl.edu/psycrs/handcomp/hc1t.PDF\n\n\nAlso, Follow this procedure:\nEnter the values of X into the designated cells, beginning in the top-most cell. After each entry, depressing the 'tab' key will take you down to the next cell in the column. After completion and verification of data entry, click the button labeled «Calculate». If you wish to perform another analysis with a different set of data: click the «Reset» button if the value of N for the new set of data is undefined or smaller; click the «Reload» button if the value of N is larger than undefined.\n\nImporting data from a spreadsheet. Within the spreadsheet application, select and copy the column of data. Then return to this page, click the cursor into the data-entry field and perform the 'Paste' operation. It is important to make sure that the final line in the data-entry field entry is not followed by a carriage return. (An extra carriage return at the end of the list will be interpreted as an extra data entry whose value is zero. Importing data via the copy and paste procedure will almost always produce an extra carriage return at the end of a column.) After the bivariate list has been pasted into the data-entry field, click the cursor immediately to the right of the final entry in the list, then press the down-arrow key. If an extra line is present, the cursor will move downward. Extra lines can be removed by pressing the down arrow key until the cursor no longer moves, and then pressing the 'Backspace' key (on a Mac platform, 'delete') until the cursor stands immediately to the right of the final entry.\n(see http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/t_single.html)


When I was 15 my used to be boyfriend wanted me to have sex with him and I said no?

Oh you were definately right! You are way too young to get pregnant!

I had my son at 23 and still wasn't ready!

Hi\nI tend to believe that being a TRUE vegetarian is not near as healthy as eating regular. We have a cousin that is a TRUE vegetarian and he just doesn't look healthy. He's pasty white and his eyes look like they are sunken in. I don't know, this is just my opinion and I have no clue aobut being a vegetarian because I'm a big healthy chubby girl who loves southern cooking. There are plenty of web sites and books that explain the pro's and con's of being a vegetarian. Speak to your Doctor and read up on it. Good Luck!

Do you beleave that the antichrist is alive today; and if so, who do you think it could be?

The idea of a single and thoroughly evil world leader near the end of time called "the Antichrist" is a popular, though unbiblical, belief. I have often stressed that the Bible speaks of "antichrists" or "an antichrist" but not "the Antichrist." After making this remark in a sermon, I was surprised to be approached by a brother who denied this claim. He showed me the New King James Version rendering of I John 2:18: "Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour."\n\nBoth the King James and American Standard Versions have "antichrist" in the first part of the verse. The New International Version drops the capital and reads "the antichrist," while the Contemporary English Version reads "the enemy of Christ." The Living New Testament also has "the Antichrist." The New English Bible has "Antichrist," while the New Revised Standard Version has "antichrist." The major Greek texts also differ. The Textus Receptus has the definite article (ho antichristos), while the United Bible Societies and Nestle Greek texts have simply antichristos.\n\nIn the English language we have the definite article the and the indefinite article a or an. But biblical Greek, like other modern languages such as Russian, has no indefinite article. And what is strange to those unfamiliar with Greek is that sometimes even when the definite article is used with a noun in Greek, it is not to be translated with the English definite article the. For instance, the Greek definite article (ho, he, to) is sometimes used before proper nouns: ton Petron ("the" Peter – Acts 2:37), ho Ioannes ("the" John – Matt. 3:4), ho Iesous ("the" Jesus – John 3:22). Yet we simply translate these "Peter," "John," and "Jesus." The Greek definite article is also sometimes used before abstract nouns, as in Titus 2:2: te pistei ("the" faith), te agape ("the" love), te hupomone ("the" patience). Yet we rightly translate these "faith," "love," and "patience" in this passage. Conversely, the English definite article is rightly used in translating Greek nouns which do not have the definite article: arche ("beginning," yet we rightly translate "the beginning" even though the definite article te is not used before arche in John 1:1).\n\nThese examples could be multiplied many times. The context, not the mere presence or absence of the definite article, is the most important factor in determining the meaning and translation of the noun in question and any of its modifiers such as the definite article.\n\nWith this very brief clarification in mind, consider the Greek text of passages in First and Second John concerning antichrist \nand the translation of these passages in the New King James Version: \n\n                                                                                Greek                          NKJV\n                                               I John 2:18a             ho antichristos            "the Antichrist"\n                                               I John 2:18b             antichristoi                  "antichrists"\n                                               I John 2:18b             antichristoi                  "antichrists"\n                                               I John 2:22               ho antichristos            "antichrist"\n                                               I John 4:3                 tou antichristou           "the Antichrist"\n                                               II John 7                   ho antichristos            "an antichrist"\n\nObviously, the New King James Version translators

Two sound waves of equal frequency have a constant phase relationship so there is a constant amount of reinforcement or cancellation.  If the frequencies differ, the relative phase repeatedly varies between cancellation and reinforcement (total cancellation and reinforcement if the amplitudes are equal) at a rate equal to the difference in frequency.  The resulting sound has an apparent pitch between the two frequencies if they are close enough, or is heard as two frequencies if not, and is "amplitude modulated".  If the amplitudes are high enough, distortion in the ear results in perception of a third frequency ("difference frequency") at the modulation rate.

In women's wrestling videos, it's always blondes vs. others and generally blondes lose. why?

I haven't noticed this, or at least not in the wrestling that I've seen. If this is the case, though, it's most likely due to the fact the blonde is usually the more popular fighter and the others are the heels. In women's wrestling, it can be difficult to develop a heel character so it makes sense the non-blonde would use some form of cheating en route to victory in order to come across as more villainous.


where can i look up government grants i am a parent who got hurt  and i need a way of support while i retrain?

Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nBut you may stand a better chance in getting into welfare assistance, rather than grants. For one, you will need to apply AND compete for grant money, and to do so you would need to write a grant proposal. It's not easy to get grant monies.

Why are the majority of the people on this site bad spellers and grammatical retards?

For the most part it is due to the fact that the American education system fails miserably in its attempt to teach children basic reading and comprehension skills. The system insists on teaching children math skills when they haven't even learned to read.  If the system was restructured to concentrate on reading and comprehension in the first few years, later in schooling the child could easily learn skills for the profession he or she is interested in. I am so thankful that my second and third grade teacher forced me into learning how to read. She kept me after school many a night and drilled reading skills into my cranium gray matter. Her name was Mrs. Wesson of Lincoln school in a town called Freeport Illinois. God rest her wonderful soul!

When you can sit down and have a conversation with your friend. You'd be amazed at how well this works at times. I truly believe that your conversation will be heard. It will also help if you sit down with another friend who also knew this bestfriend. Maybe not as well or as close as you were, but someone who knew your bestfriend. It does help to bring closer.

how much do doctor appointments cost without insurance?

Depends on varying factors;\n\n-Where you live:\nMalpractice insurance rates are high in some areas (Chicago area = VERY HIGH) So, the doctor is going to need more money for that reason.\n\n-The type of doctor:\nI'd stray away from any specialists if you can help it. Try going to a local clinic. Here in my area (it's definately not a poor area at all) our townships have free clinics if you live within the area.\n\n-What you're going in for;\nIf it's a quick cold you may never even see the doctor it all depends.\n\n** Check to see if you have any of those 24 hour medical clinics around.

How to improve home safety? from fire and intruders? Why poverty exist? What is the best way to sove it?

Home safety improvements can start with alarm systems, add a good dog, then get and learn to use a firearm. (Note: Firearms are not for everyone.  If you have kids, think long and hard about a firearm.)\n\nMy opinion on poverty is (1) bad or corrupt government (2) poor education due to bad system (back to government) or lack of funds (3) lack of opportunities (government again)\n(4) lack of motivation are the cause of poverty.\n\nThe solution is replace "bad and lack" with "good and plenty".

How reliable are online trading companies that disclaim the accuracy of their quotes and other information?

You are exactly right in your concerns. \n\nThe quality of data on the web and even the quality available to brokerages is TERRIBLE. The primary problem is NOT the daily pricing, but rather the handling of dividends, splits, mergers, and other corporate actions that impact total return (what you actually make on a share).\n\nI personally make a living taking the standard data provided by the exchanges and then fixing and cleaning it for use by people like yourself.\n\nNevertheless, my services also come with a standard disclaimer which I deeply regret having to use because of potential liability. \n\nThe three companies that take data quality seriously are Investors FastTrack, Morningstar, and Lipper. I would encourage you to use these services in making sensible long-term investment decisions.

Is there any software which can crak Protected Images which are open only by a Certin Software ?

Quite often the entire picture is modified from any normal format.  Although it may be very similar, part of it is changed to make the pics incompatible with other readers.  However, if you can get the picture on your screen, you can use a screen capture and save it in whatever format you want.

how difficulties is to build a website for any person?

If you are a true novice and don't want to spend much time learning how to make a site, I would suggest the current super-popular MySpace. You can quickly get your information up for all your friends to see.\n\nIf you are interested in something more, but still fairly simple try GeoCities or Yahoo.\n\nIf you are willing to learn HTML I would suggest ATSPACE.COM. You can create a website for FREE up to 50MBs in size. I have two websites through them and the uptime is great. You'll need an ftp program to upload your stuff. There's a good free one for personal use called "FTP Explorer". Of course you'll either need to learn HTML or use one of the WYSIWYG programs like FrontPage or DreamWeaver to actually design your site. e-mail me if you need some help...\n\nIf you want your own domain and have it hosted, I suggest ReadyHosting. You get 1GB of space unlimted e-mail accounts, FTP access and domain name registration all for $99 a year.\n\nWeb hosting site (FREE):\nhttp://www.atspace.com\nWeb hosting site (COST):\nhttp://www.readyhosting.com\nFTP Explorer site:\nhttp://www.ftpx.com\n\nA couple of my websites:\nPioneer Baseball Website (ReadyHosting - Cost)\nhttp://www.pioneerbaseball.org\nMy Son's Travel Team's Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tricountytitans.atspace\nFamily Website (ATSpace.com - FREE)\nhttp://tim8w.atspace.com

If by 'blank page' you mean just a picture and no other information then it is because they want to use the image as their avatar/picture in here but dont want to use the rest of the 360 idea.\nIn this case it means they have not found the piece where they can disable the 360 thing.

Why does most health insurance always discriminates people with pre-existing conditions?

Thats becasue they make money off of you.  If you have a condition that you had before you joined theyre company that means you are costing them money.  Insurance is a business it doesnt exist to help you, it exists to make your money thier money.  Its fuc*ed up but thats the way it is in America.

Cruise lines have different requirements...and it depends on what you want to be a manager of...could be banquet manager, shore excursion manager, talent manager, etc.\n\nMost look for a Hospitality degree and experience in the areas of hospitality on a large scale.  I have friends in the banquet and catering industries that work on NCL.


Your itunes player software may be corrupt.\nIf you reload it, you should still have your song library in tact.\n\nElse...\nI am not exactly sure what is going on, except that you may have the player settings such that it is doing that.  \n\nFor example you can equalize songs to sound like they are in a concert hall, or in a cave, etc..  But I am not sure if itunes has such equalization.  If so, you might check the playback settings.

Does it really matter what other people believe.  You need to figure out what you believe, whether that is in God or not.  Think for yourself.  It can be fun.


Can a homebuyer successfully sue a seller if they didn't get a home inspection or ask questions?

I believe that the particular details may depend on the laws in your state.  This is the kind of question that only a lawyer could answer in detail.  (And I'm not one.)\n\nI've always heard (and so it may be completely wrong) that a seller's duty is to disclose any defect they know about or should know about.  But, this is the kind of thing that definitely varies by state.

who is the best weight lifter in the world?


1/2 million protestors in California for the immigration laws, whats your view?

I oppose amnesty for illegals, no matter what!  I am in favor of those who enter through legal means.  I would like to know how many of the 500,000 protesters,  were legal US citizens?  I'm sure most were not.  I do not feel it is fair to those who came here through legal means, nor do I feel it is the responsibility of those of us who regularly pay taxes to pay for health care, education, and welfare of those who sneak into this country.  Not to mention the cost to the communities for law enforcement.  \nI think anyone who harbors an illegal should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting criminals.  If the Church harbors illegals, it should not only loose tax free status, but the priest or minister should also be brought to justice.  Same thing for employers-if you pander to illegals you should be arrested.\nAnd for those who claim illegals work jobs that Americans won't, I say if all employers paid a decent wage, there are plenty of Americans willing to work.  Secondly, if there is such a shortage of workers, let's put the people on welfare to work, and get them off the welfare lines.

How do you find someone when you only have a picture?

If you have the cast, get an established,certified, qualified and respected private investigator


A mgr finds that she has $1000, made up of 20's & 50's. She has a total of 32 bills. How many 50's is there?

Here is an answer using mathematics and not deduction, fits all ages and knowledge levels! Ha ha!\n\nLet's denote the amount of 50's by X and the amount of 20's by Y. If she has 32 bills in total, that means X and Y add up to 32. That gives one equation ===> X+Y=32\nThen, total amount of money is 1000, and that is made up of X amounts of 50's and Y amounts of 20's. And that gives us the second equation =====> 50X+20Y=1000 Using simultaneous equation we have....\nX+Y=32 ====> Multiply this by 50 for simplifcation\n50X+20Y=1000\n\nThe new equation from multiplying by 50 will be \n\n50X+50Y=1600     Now simply subtract one from the other\n50X+20Y=1000\n-------------\n0 + 30Y = 600 ======> Y=600/30=20\n\nTherefore, if she has 20 20's and in total if she has 32 bills, she naturally have 12 50's!


POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE!\n\nTell yourself that yes, people are interested in you, they do want to hear what you have to say, and they want to hear it clearly and consisely. Practice at home.

There are more than a hundred-odd 'sun's in our skies, of which our Sun [one of the smallest among these 'sun's] is the closest to us !\nAs the Earth and other planets are in constant orbit around our Sun, it obviously appears to be in the sky ! \n...Incidentally, what we commonly call our 'sky' is also a mere 'mirage', or optical illusion : It only consists of various 'atmospheric' gases [and moisture-laden clouds that float in them], plus an upper ozone-layer - all of which the light rays from the Sun illuminate. \nThis illumination causes us to imagine that there is a blanket-like bluish 'sky' above us ! As the Sun also seems to be 'up there', we say in non-technical words that the 'Sun is in the sky' !

I just read "All the King's Men" by Robert Penn Warren for the first time since high school. I forgot how good that book is!\n\nOther good fiction: (1) "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen is just all-around great, (2) "David Copperfield" or "The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens are light and entertaining, and (3) "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl is imaginative like the movie but darker. \n\nGood non-fiction: (1) "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz is possibly the best books I've read in a long time, (2) "Baghdad Without a Map" by Tony Horwitz is a close second, and (3) "Family" by Ian Frazier is a well-written account of the author's ancestry.\n\nHappy reading!


How do I get to a website that will allow me to listen to full length cds for free?

Legally that is most likely an impossibility...some royalties must be passed to the bands. However you can usually listen to individual songs for free on bands websites. Also some of the pay sites for this are fairly cheap if you pay annually.


Does a SMALL CLAIMS suit against a defendant, qualify as a legal first step in obtaining a LIS PENDENS?

Lis pendens is just a notice that a suit has been filed in which someone made a claim for a piece of real estate, so yes, you would need to file a suit in order to file a lis pendens. Since it involves making a claim against real estate, I doubt you could do it through small claims, since they limit the compensation to money only (not real estate) and have a maximum, usually around $2,500. But, you could theoretically file the suit in civil court without a lawyer, however risky that might be. Alternatively, look for free legal aid in your area. You could try contacting the court you would be filing in and asking them if they could refer you to any free or low-cost aid.


what effect does heparin have on new born babies?

Heparin is an anticoagulant drug that thins blood and prevents blood from coagulating. When this drug is administered to newborn babies, it increases the possibilities of ongoing bleeding do to the lack of coagulation capabilities. Vitamin K helps in coagulation. That's why newborns are injected with vitamin K when they are born to prevent bleeding


I am a 17 year old teenager and i want some tips on how to get started in playing the stock market?

Before putting at risk your savings, I suggest you to familiarize with the basics of financial mathematics. At least you should be sure to understand the concepts of risk and performance, and the way to measure them in a stock portfolio. You can find a lot of didactic material on the Internet from independent sources (see for instance the reference below). Then, your first experiments with real money should start with mutual funds or ETFs. Remember that single stock picking and market timing are very risky activities also for well informed professionals.


Depends on what kind of website you have, so next time you might want to include more details, but....\n\nWorking with the information that you have gave me, basically websites are made and altered using code, otherwise knows as HTML. Basically, the website your working with will either make it easy for you, having premade code, or they will have a place where you can make your own custom code for it.\n\nOther than that, not knowing what kind of website you have, that is all I can tell you, but If I had to make a guess I think you might be talking about MySpace, if that is the case you might want to go to google.com or yahoo.com and type in MySpace Codes, it will bring up a bunch of sites that help you with that.


How to train spacing for an 8 years child?

Being the child is 8, then the spacing is required to be closer than 1 or 2 fingers. It really depends on the size of the childs writing but for my grandson, I used a 1/4 inch wide, 4 inch long strip of cardboard in each of his books. So it would be handy for each subject. I insisted with homework and practice work that he place it at the end of every word he wrote. After three weeks, he started spacing without it. But any time he started jamming his words together again, I made him use the 'strip' of cardboard for the rest of the day.\n\nHope this helps. It worked great for us.


What companies makes e85 ethanol gas and are these company stock are publicly traded? What's stock symobol?

You would want to look for ethanol producers.  They ship the ethanol to refiners who mix it with gasoline to make E85.  Most ethanol producers are farmers or co-ops that aren't publicly traded.  For right now, your best bet at investing in an ethanol producer is PACIFIC ETHANOL INC (PEIX).

Seriously?\n\nOk, in society there are several groups of people, the bigots who just carry on the whole race hatred thing that dear old daddy instilled in them, believeing the same hateful words that they spout like a kid saying there ABC's, then there are the honestly ok people who actually dont care who your great great great great great great grandma was and what colour you are- they dont have to be nice people, but hey if they hate you its because of who you are, not wether you successfully colour coordinate with the rest of their friends. then there are the "try to hards"- you may have met them, the ones who say things like "Racist? how insulting, Tarquil here once shook hands with an indian fellow" and send a yearly donation to amnest international (tax deductable). the point is that a lot of the people in charge of things like network programming are in the first or the last catagories and will promote urban music and film as a) its popular to be multi cultural and b) they want to look good. this is actually quite insulting when you think about it, but on the plus side it means that at least more and more young people will gain their own exposure to different cultures and maybe, god forbid, form there own views and actually drop all the self perpetuating crap that has been carried around for too damn long.\n\nMight be nice...

There are three words in English that end in "gree." The first two are "angry" and "hungry," and if you've listened closely, you'll agree that I've already told you the third one. \n\nThe answer is "agree."

What is average life expectancy after diagnosis of emphysema.? Does lung capacity EVER improve with emphysema?

Life expectancy depends on the individual. They have to be willing to do the things they are told to. Otherwise they will not live long, 3 - 5 years maximum.\n\nAlthough not a cure, there is a newer surgery that can increase lung capacity and help bring greater quality of life to the individual. You have to be a good candidate and that will mean not smoking, following a good diet and exercise routine, as well as following a doctor's instructions regarding medication, etc.\n\nRead the data at the links below for more.\n\nGood Luck to whoever has this.


What is holistic healing? what are the different ways to do holistic healing?

Holistic Medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. \nGenerally this means using non-western methods to heal, or combing western, eastern and new age medicine. Some examples of holistic medicine are: nutrition, herbal medicine, spinal manipulation and body work medicine, "energy medicine," spiritual attunement, relaxation training and stress management, biofeedback and acupuncture. \nHolistic medicine has a longer history than modern medical practition and though many people are skeptical, it can be a much better form of  treatment than the impersonal treatment most hospitals give today becuase it treats the whole person, not just the disease.

Delegation, Leadership, and Break-downs.\n\nDelegation - Work often does not go to all team members.  Some members may be underutilized.  Some work may go to the wrong members.  Sometimes one member may take on a project solo or with a smaller sub-team when more hands are needed.  \n\nLeadership - Classic problem is "too many chiefs, not enough Indians."  A leader needs to be picked.  Those designated as "team members" should not undermine the leader by trying to lead or disobeying orders. One leader should run the team.  If the team is large, then sub-leaders may be chosen.\n\nBreak-down - Someone didn't do their job.  Someone didn't show up.  Someone isn't communicating.  Lack of following through should be dealt with as soon as possible.  Remove team members that distract and detract from the job.  Make sure that substitutes are assigned if someone is ill or unreliable.


The ACC is as tough a basketball conference as you will find, but there are others who are giving it a run for their money.  \n\nThe Big East has turned into a monster with UConn and Villanova atop the latest ESPN poll and Pitt, West Virginia and even Georgetown all ranked.\n\nDon't ever count out the Big 12--Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas have been and will continue to be tough teams.  The Big 10, SEC, and even the Pac 10 are all out there with something to prove.\n\nAs a resident of a Big East town, I watch the ACC with great interest.  They completed a pretty nasty raid of our schools a couple years ago--Miami, Virginia Tech, Boston College--that really gutted the football program.  I find it most ironic that perennial ACC powers like Duke, North Carolina, and NC State chasing Big East schools.  How sweet it is!


How much does mole removal cost,does it hurt,how long does it take?

it doesn't hurt one bit. they numb your mole with a shot. the shot doesnt hurt at all. i have the biggest fear of needles and i'm fine. then if it is raised then they just scrape it off but if it is even with your skin then they scoop it out like ice cream. depending on the doctor and size they will pull it together with stitches or leave it. if you have the option take the stitches b/c if they leave it then it raises and looks bad. i have had a few removed and all those times i didnt even realize they were finished because i didn't feel a thing. Also, my insurance covered it so I am not sure how much it costs. Good luck with it. :)


William Marrion Branham was one of the most influential Bible ministers of our time. He was considered by many to be the initiator of the healing and charismatic revival that began in 1947, and from his ministry there sprang a myriad of other ministers who became internationally known. One Historian of that movement stated that William Branham was "a prophet to our generation", and a Pentecostal Historian wrote, "Branham filled the largest stadiums and meeting halls in the world." The Full Gospel Men's Voice, (now, Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International), in its February 1961 issue, wrote: "In Bible Days, there were men of God who were Prophets and Seers. But in all the Sacred Records, none of these had a greater ministry than that of William Branham, a Prophet and Seer of God, whose photograph appears on the front cover of this issue of Full Gospel Men's Voice. Branham has been used by God, in the Name of Jesus, to raise the dead!" From 1947 until the time of his passing in 1965, the powerful ministry of William Branham was well known and considered unparalleled in the history of gospel meetings. The impact of the supernatural ministry of this one man was felt not only in North America, but also around the world.

Is there ever a good excuse to NOT practice proper social etiquette?

I would've done the same thing you did, and those ladies probably didn't mind- or shouldn't have- because they most likely saw how bad you felt, because when you are sick or something is wrong, people can usually tell...  And you know that under normal circumstances you would've acted differently, and there are always exceptions to the rules!  Soooo...my answer is no you shouldn't, and no I wouldn't! ;)


There are limited slots available for GED holders, and they must score higher on the ASVAB than a regular High school graduate( and no, a GED is NOT equivalent in the eyes of the military) but it can be done.  Additionally, adding 15 100 level or above college credits to that GED will be equivalent to a HS diploma in the eyes of the military, opening up many more opportunties.  That's one semester at your local community college.

Why do you want to commit suicide?  To tell you the truth, I wanted to commit suicide before...that was years ago...but every time I'm depressed, I wait...because I know that life is just a series of tunnels.  You drive into a tunnel and the sum seems to be gone...the tunnel might be long or short...you never know...but one thing you can be sure is that the sun will eventually be back when you finally get out of the tunnel.  There is no tunnel with only one hole...even if there is you could still turn around and drive out.\nI hope you think it over...I don't think someone that wants to commit suicide have to see a doctor or something...but everyone needs to talk it out...and you really have to think it over hard!!  I almost commited suicide...but I'm glad I didn't ...cuz then I would miss out all those things that happened after I decided not to kill myself.\nLife IS hard...\nA person wearing a pretty pair of shoes....but if you were to try on her shoes...you might realize it doesn't feel as pretty as it looks like.\nI really hope you don't hurt yourself...because you might regret it....\nSuicide is a sign of giving up...NEVER give up...giving up is the same as losing...well...actually worse.  People that lose have the courage to fight til the end...people that just give up or run away have nothing.\nDon't give up ...fight back!\nEven today I'm not 100% happy...but I'm glad I keep on fighting it back.  Every time I fight back and win I feel so good.  Even if I lose when I fight back...I will try harder next time.  I know you are tired...me too...but please, please, please think it over, OK?


Is is true that Bill Clinton sold neclear weapon secrets to China?

NO president sold nuclear secrets.  We may have sold technology to countries, but our secret stuff has to be stolen to be betrayed.  I doubt we sold nuclear technology to China.\n\nChina has been working on nukes for years, and had advanced capabilities before Clinton came into office.\n\nI vote Republican, so I am not playing favoritism here.


Serious Problem With My Brother and Need Advice. My Brother and I were adopted out at birth.?

That is really sad. He is your brother and you cannot encourage whatever it is that is not ''brotherly''  about him. Did your brother tell you that his counsellor said nothing is wrong with him ??? Either he is lying to you, or the counsellor himself needs a bit of counselling. Get him to see someone else, together. Be present with him while counselling. Your brother and you got to know each others existance only in 2001, when you both got to know that you are sister and brother. Which means there were no reasons for him to think otherwise, i assume. That is, you both havent seen each other before you knew that he was your brother or he knew that u were his sister. So the meeting itself started of as a brother-sister meeting....its not like you guys dated, or met each other frequently where he could develop such feelings and its absolutely normal cos' he didnt know he was ur sister...So stop him. Make him understand that you havea  family of your own and that he is your blood relation, own brother, from the same womb. \n\nIf he fails to still respect, threaten him that he will lose a sister and a good freind. When you reach your wits end, just ignore him and shut him away from your life. You have tried your best and you lived without a 'brother' till 2001, so it should not make a difference for you and get bothered too much where there will be heartaches, confusing situations and finally lose each other anyway. Move on. Once he comes in terms with the reality that you are his SISTER, you could maybe open your doors to him..till then keep away..thats what i think !\n\ngood luck!

how do you know that a guy dosnt feel nothing for you?

if he is relax when he talks to you, if he doesn't get excited, and in some case if he doesn't fallow you


First, stop spending more than you make.  In fact, you have to find a way to spend less than you make.\n\nSecond, take your smallest debt (credit card, car payment, etc.) and double the payments on it.\n\nThird, when that smallest debt is paid, take the doubled amount you have been paying on the smallest debt and apply that in addition to whatever minimum payment you have been making.  Work your way up until you have paid everything off.\n\nFourth, save enough money to throw a big party for your friends after you have paid off the last of your debt.\n\nFifth, continue to save money, even if it's only a little bit per paycheck, so you have something for emergencies when they come up so you don't have to go into debt again.\n\nOnce you do all this, you will have learned to live within your means and you won't have to worry about big debts that cause you to be depressed.  Short of this, there are no quick, easy ways to get out of debt.

trying to find old friend i did door to door sales can i find him we worked together for 3 years?

Do you know the name of your friend? That would be a good starting point.  Check the phonebook in Montana if you do.  Otherwise, check out other direct sales companies in the area if they employ him - but that's a bit more difficult.  Try to remember any personal details about your friend during your conversations and you may have some good leads there.


no. you just get a big rush of liquid come out of you, and it just keeps coming.

prove that 5^2n-1 + 1 is divisible by 6?

solve it by induction...\nlet n=1, then 5^2n-1 +1 =6 so divisible by 6\nlet n=k, then 5^2n-1 +1=5^2k-1 +1 and let it be divisible by 6\nlet n=k+1 then 5^2n-1 +1=5^(2(k+1)-1)) +1\nie 5^(2k+2-2) +1=(5^2k-1)(5^1)\nbut we know that 5^2k-1 is a multiple of 6,so (5^2n-1)*5 is also a multiple od 6. since it satisfies this for n=0, it should satisfy for all n

when does hbo's show oz release the sixth season on dvd, and was it taken of the air after that?

Yes, there were only six seasons.  I couldn't find a release date, but season 5 came out last June.  Perhaps this summer?  Season Six was far from my favorite.  It's depressing that all the shows I like end up getting cancelled. However, what is more disturbing are the characters are all on cop shows.  I can't watch any of the Law and Orders because of it.  Just too weird.


i want one example which proves that familiarity doestn breed contempt..try..!!?

Oh... I don’t think that close acquaintance breeds contempt or derision, presupposing that the deep recognizing comes out from relationship or true friendship. \nCould you contempt your brother or soulmate, for example? Even the knowledge of some event that can be bad or incorrect for us oughtn't to give us the occasion to judge or scorn our relative or friend. Any close relation or friendship has its rule and involvement, as like as any confidential and private stuff we share.\nThe relation itself and the fondness should be beyond such resentments. \nWhen and if it happens, the relation will be dying, and on that case, it’s better to stop any link, but still keeping that discretion and privacy that prior the relation presupposed.


what factor courses people waste their time?

People waste their time because they sometimes are just too lazy to work at the expected pace and keep on delaying the work till the last minute. This wastes time. Sometimes they are indiffernt to the demands of their work that they choose not to prioritize and the time required to do the most important thing is wasted in doing the least important thing first.


Using "had had" in english - is it ok or just bad grammar that has become excepted?

It's a shame the asker didn't include more of the surrounding text from this article so it could be analyzed more closely.  \n\nAnyhow, grammarians will concur that the structure:  \n\n"...active surveillance and robust peer intervention among high-risk groups such as female sex workers had had an impact in the South..." ,\n\nIS, technically, correct.  Sacramento Dweller was correct in identifying this seemingly awkward grammatical structure as a matter of tense.  Sentences utilizing this particular structure generally fall under the category of "Conditional Sentences."  Sentences featuring the 'had had' syntax are classified as "The Third Conditional," or "Conditional Type Three," and can generally be diagnosed by analyzing them for similarities with following structural formulae:\n\n(The Type 3 Conditional / Third Conditional Formula:)\n\n" IF + <insert past perfect tense verb> + <insert perfect conditional tense verb> = RESULT OF SUPPOSED CONDITIONS.*\n\n*~NOTE:  RESULT(S) of the supposed conditions usually resemble one of the following two structures, depending on when events occurred:  \n\n(1.) Result:  <insert simple present or past tense verb to express an obvious, or predictable fact / outcome>\n\n(2.) Result:  <insert modal verb  + simple present or past tense verb to express a known fact / outcome >\n\nEXAMPLE #1:  "If you had had proper training as an assassin, we would not be in this situation..."\n\nEXAMPLE #2:  "If I'd had proper training as an assassin, you probably wouldn't be here to complain."\n\n(Notice how in EXAMPLE #2, the contractions 'I'd' is used instead of saying, 'I had had' to illustrate the terms of the condition being discussed, though still allowing the reader to ascertain and understand the time-frame and sequence in which events occcurred?)\n\nRules for proper usage of the "Third Conditional / Conditional Type 3" sentence structure state that the structures are 'to be used when talking about unreal, or "hypothetical" situations occurring in the past.'  That means, the related events DID NOT 'ACTUALLY' HAPPEN in the past.  Sentences utilizing this structure are almost always phrased to reckon, "If circumstances were different, what could / would have this been like?"  \n\nThe expression of time / tense in this [third] variety of conditional sentence structure IS identified as the past, and indicates that an action was completed "in" the past.  The condition and / or result, therefore, cannot logically be fulfilled because the action in the "IF" clause never actually happened.  Action in "Third Conditional / Conditional Type 3" sentence structure is almost ALWAYS characterized by the quality of being absurd, and impossible to achieve.\n\nTense and Terminology?\n\n-Simple Present Tense:  Expresses a fact, habit/routine, or ability.\n\n-Simple Past:  Implies that the action happened before and is not happening anymore.\n\n-Past Perfect (Pluperfect) Tense:  Relates that an action or event ended prior to another action or event.\n\n-Present Perfect (Continuous) [Past-composite] Tense:  Indicates either events in recent past, or events which occurred in the past at an unknown time.\n\n-Perfect (Conditional) Tense: Relates varying degrees of certianty or uncertainty about events in recent past, or events which occurred in the past at an unknown time.\n\n-Modal Verbs:  incorporated with other verbs to illustrate the notion of possibility, impossability, necessity or other degree of probability.


can someone telll me what kinda recreational things that are not that expensive that i can do with my daughter

I would love to answer your question but I need to know the age of your daughter and what you want her to learn from the activities.  It would help to know what you do for fun.  Young girls like walks where they seek neat things like the chrysalae of butterflies or where you can talk about clouds and how they are made, that sort of thing.  Older girls like to learn crafts like beading, knitting, scrap booking, making collections.  Some like to learn games or draw pictures (learning colors to learning perspective)...it just all depends on the age of the child, your interests and what you want her to learn from the activity. We all want our daughters to develop confidence, able to share, to learn honesty and be a good sport to actual expertise as she gains confidence in her work, to name a few attributes.


PLS HELP, there is a way to get in to the other`s PC??

If its by email, you can turn on a function in your email to see the source IP of the sender.  This IP will at the least tell what ISP he is using.  Keep all the emails and call your local police department's cybercrimes division.  If your municipal department does not have one, contact your county or state police departments.\n\nMore directly if it is possible, yes.  Our IT department does it all the time.  One example of a program is called PCanywhere.  I do believe it has to be installed on both machines and the IP address of the pc you are trying to control must be known.

depends on what possessions you had.

Create a relationship based just on friendship. Maybe try to strike a conversation. Just try to let them get to know who you are. They can be simple little hellos or striking an interest in the things they like to do. Just make it so they know you exist. And If you are truly compatable they will begin to admire you and eventually even like you back. If not then you know it was never meant to be.

How can I move my website up in the yahoo and google listings?

First ... "be careful" of the advice of using same color text as background. The 'only' way that might succeed these days is 'if' the background is a 'graphic' the same color as the text.  SE's will automatically recognize if you use font color as same as background color ... and they don't like that.  It's the same as SPAM to them.\n\nHere's a few tips ... \n\n1. Make sure to use ALT text with your images. You can utilize keyword(s) there which the SE's will see.  Some say it helps, others say it doesn't.  I have no clue. I just use them anyway in case a graphic doesn't show in a person's browser.  They will then see the text.\n\n2. What I call 'pointers' .. or Links from other sites are to your advantage.  The "More Relevant" the site pointing to you is to your site, the better.  You can search for relevant sites and pursue a link exchange.\n\n3. Publish Articles and submit to Article Directories. The resource box should have your info and link to your site. The more relavent your article is as to the subject of your site, the better chance it will be picked up and used on sites pertaining more to yours.  Or at least, sites that may compliment you .... such as "Learn To Speak Spanish" .. etc. ..... it's still relevant.  Articles are prolific.  Just make sure you use 'unique' content and not some regurgitated article that are available.  If your not comfortable writing, go to places like Elance and hire a ghostwriter to do it for you.\n\nJust some simple but 'effective' tips .... \n\nThere's plenty more you can do.\n\nFor instance ... one thing I noticed.  You're not using a robots.txt file on your web site. SE's like 'em .... \nLook at your server logs and I'll bet you'll see all kinds of error page generations from SE robots looking for your robots.txt file.

If someone asked you for a donation, would you be more likely to help on the basis of looks / gender / race?

I certainly think some people might, whether they realize it or not. For example, if a man is approached by an attractive female charity worker they *may* on a subconcious level feel more inclined to give money. Similiarly, a person may be more inclined to give to a person of his/her own race. Or a gay person, may feel more inclined to donate if he perceives the person who approached them may be gay himself. These factors do not necessarily arise from a sexist point of view, but are subtle factors that we ourselves may not even realize play a part in the decision making process.\n\nOf course, this is all subjective and may not apply to everyone. It also very much depends on the charity itself. I find it unlikely that I would donate to a fundamentalist christian group regardless of how attractive, friendly or a good salesperson the charity worker is. :)\n\nHope this answers your question.

Can bacteria or insects live in an alkaline or alkaloid environment?

llinois groundwater scientists have found microbial communities thriving in the slag dumps of the Lake Calumet region of southeast Chicago where the water can reach extraordinary alkalinity of pH 12.8. That's comparable to caustic soda and floor strippers -- far beyond known naturally occurring alkaline environments.\n\nThe closest known relatives of some of the microbes are in South Africa, Greenland and the alkaline waters of Mono Lake, California.


I walk everytime I go home from school, its lil bit far and I carry heavy bag. WIll it make me more fit?

Walking is decent exercise; and is a good start to gettng fit. Carrying the bag will help burn calories (since the larger the mass moved, the more energy expended to move it). No guarantees about the stomach, though: walking is a primarily lower-body activity. The link (below) will give you how to figure calories burned.

What happen If ever you change your sex?

Unfortunately female to male sex surgery to create a penis(phalloplasty) is not advanced enough to recreate most of the penile functionality. I believe the best results include a lengthening of the urethra to facilitate urination through the neo-penis, and an erectile implant that allows for an erection.\n\nThe tissue used in this type of surgery is usually harvested from the arm or leg.\n\nHowever as far as I know, the sensitivity of a normal male penis cannot be replicated with current technology.\n\nOn the other hand, Female to Male transsexuals can pass quite well. Although many of them are shorter than biological men. Facial features, facial hair, and voice deepening can all be achieved through hormone replacement therapy.\n\nTypically a female to male transsexual will undergo a mastectomy and hysterectomy to remove the breasts and uterus.

What are the origins of the phrase son of a gun?

There is dispute amongst etymologists about the origin of this phrase. As always, disputes only occur where there is no definitive evidence so, as you might guess, there is conflicting circumstantial evidence. I'll put the sources here and let you decide for yourself.\n\nThe two points of view are primarily these:\n\nI.\nThe phrase originated as 'son of a military man' (i.e. a gun). The most commonly repeated version in this strand is that the British Navy used to allow women to live on naval ships. Any child born on board who had uncertain paternity would be listed in the ship's log as 'son of a gun'. While it is attestable fact that, although the Royal navy had rules against it, they did turn a blind eye to women (wives or prostitutes) joining sailors on voyages, so this version has plausibility on its side. The sources for this point of view are:\n\n- The Royal Navy Museum, who confirm that women sometimes travelled on their vessels during the age of sail.\n\n- The Sailor's Workbook; William Henry Smyth, 1867. [son of a gun is] "An epithet conveying contempt in a slight degree, and originally applied to boys born afloat, when women were permitted to accompany their husbands at sea; one admiral declared he literally was thus cradled, under the breast of a gun-carriage”. \n\n- Fighting Words, Christine Ammer, 1999- "A baby conceived during wartime. In World War I the term denoted the illegitimate offspring of servicemen."\n\n- Jon Bee, a Dictionary of the Turf, 1823, ... means 'a soldier's bastard'. \n\nThe first known printed source is The British Apollo No. 43, 1708 - "You'r a Son of a Gun". That source doesn't mention the military and Smyth's version comes 150 years later, but he was himself a Royal Navy admiral and in a better position than most to know what went on aboard naval ships. Whether or not the military/naval version is the origin it is clear that, in 1823 at least, the term was used with that meaning. \n\nCounter to that you might think it unusual that military men didn't appear to have daughters, or you may just put that down to the prevailing sexism of the time. There are several phrases including the word son, some of them quite recent: \n\nEvery mother's son \nGo on my son \nLike father, like son \nMy son the doctor \nNumber one son \nOn me 'ead, son \n\nwhereas it's difficult to think of anything other than 'don't put your daughter on the stage' for daughters. \n\n\nII. \nThe term is euphemisitic and derived as a conveniently rhyming alternative to 'son of a bitch/whore'. That term has been part of the language for centuries, certainly long enough for people to some up with a euphemism for it. Shakespeare used something like it in King Lear (1605) - "One that art nothing but the composition of a Knave, Begger, Coward, Pandar, and the Sonne and Heire of a Mungrill Bitch." \n\nAlso, other sources in print in the 19th century point to the meaning at least of the phrase as indicating contempt: \n\nBarnam Ingol. Legends, Cynotaph, 1840, "We heard the rough voice of a son of a gun Of a watchman, ‘One o'clock!’ bawling." \n\nTHACKERAY Pendennis, 1849, "What a happy feller I once thought you, and what a miserable son of a gun you really are!" \n\nHarper's Mag. Oct. 1883, 759/2 "Thou lubberly, duck-legged son of a gun." \n\nThe military version has some circumstantial evidence to support it, the rhyming euphemism origin appears to be no more than conjecture. Case unproven.

What causes computers to freeze up and momentarily stop working?

you asked a mouth full with this question.  The top reasons for computer reasons are:\n1.  running too many programs at the same time.  Look at the bottom right corner of your screen near the clock.  Every icon there is a program loaded into your computer's RAM.  Each one takes up resources and processor time.\n2.  Running conflicting programs.  Trying to run 2 different anti-virus programs, 2 firewalls, or any 2 programs that may use the same files at the same time.\n3.  Running old or out of date programs.  Programs with known bugs can have what are called "Memory Leaks".  a Memory Leak is a condition in which the computer is somehow prevented or tricked from releasing a program from RAM.  These resources become wasted.  When you restart your computer it clears everything in RAM which is why restarting can fix the problem.\n\npossible fixes:\n1.  run anti-spyware programs regularly.  try Adaware which is a simple and free program.\n2.  run disk defragmentor and scan disk at LEAST once a month.

how do i compress large jpg files to be sent via the internet?

JPGs are about as efficient a compression as you're going to get for the quality of the images, so putting them in ZIP or RAR files won't make much of a difference. Also, you can't really find a different format that will maintain image quality but make the file smaller.\n\nsandw686 is right that in some cases, converting JPGs to GIF may reduce their size, and that in some of those cases, there's no appreciable loss of image quality.\n\nHowever, GIFs only have 256 colors, while JPGs can have millions, so if you really are working with high-res images, you're not going to be happy with the results of changing them to a GIF.\n\nOption 1 is to post your images on http://www.megaupload.com and then send the links to download the files to the people you want to have them. That Web site stores your files and gives you a really simple link you can send to people to download them.\n\nAlso, http://www.imagevenue.com allows you to share JPEG images.\n\nAnother alternative is to split each image into smaller parts, and mailing the parts independently.\n\nThere are several programs that can do this. Three that come to mind are WinRAR, MasterSplitter and HJJoin.

Should men be tested for HPV if they show no symptoms?

It is very hard (maybe near impossible) to diagnose HPV in a man, IF they are symptom free:\n\n Are men screened for HPV infection? \nNo, men are not routinely screened for HPV infection. The current commercially available tests – the Pap smear and DNA HPV tests – are not suitable for testing males. If the need arose, male samples could be tested for HPV using alternate DNA HPV testing.   http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/hpv/faq.html\n\nMost of the time, males will not have any symptoms or health risks, such as cancer, with the "high-risk" types of HPV. We recommend that sexual partners be examined by a physician. If warts are found on examination, the partner can be treated. If warts are not found, the male may still carry HPV but show no signs of it.  http://www.ameripathsw.com/colorado/hpvinfo.html\n\nNo HPV test has been approved for use in males. http://www.indiana.edu/~health/std.html
