What is the best kind of (healthy) energy food for a 12 hour mountain hike (aaagh!)???

1) Water is the most important thing you can consume.  No superfood will do you any good if you are dehydrated.  \n\n2) That established- As you're hiking you'll find that you need to snack on the trail more often than you normally would (no surprise there).  Nothing makes a healthier high-energy trail-side snack than the old standby- GORP (stands for Granola, Oats, Raisins, Peanuts)- aka Trail Mix.  You can really have fun with this stuff.  Nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, M and M's, banana chips- all are fantastic. I've managed to put together good Gorp mixes in many places in the world.  A good trail mix will provide some protein (nuts) as well as some sugars (M and M's, dried fruits). As an added bonus some lightly salted nuts will help you replace some electrolytes if you are sweating a lot.  Just make sure any chocolate you put in there is candy covered- otherwise it melts all over everything.  Hope this helps.

Hey, check that is it only with a particular profile or with all of them.


I had a cone biopsy 5yrs ago-is that why i can't get an "o"?

I had cone biopsy 4 years ago - I couldn't Orgasm before I got it done, had never had one in my life - but I get them plenty now! \nMost women usually reach climax through clitoral stimulation as opposed to vaginal, so unless you were one of the ones who got to it through vaginal stimulation - I wouldnt say it has anything physical to do with the operation - I would say it is more to do with the mental anguish that you went through at the time. Cone biopsies are done to remove cancerous cells from the cervix - as a woman, being told that you have cancerous cells there is a very scarey thing - and also being told that most types of cervical cancer are caused by the HPV virus (human papilloma virus - aka genital warts) which is passed on by the guy, can be very off putting - so without realizing it, you could have a mental stigma attached to sex now which is hindering your progression to orgazm.\nIf you still enjoy sex and its not painfull or anything like that - think long and hard about how you felt when you were told you needed the cone biopsy - work your way through those feelings, and then try and stimulate yourself to orgazm. i think that once you can reach it on your own, you'll be better able to reach it with someone else!

well, in case I don't answer sufficiently, I provided a link for Wikipedia to define the ranks of matrices.\n\nBasically, ranks are when the matrices are reduced and you want to know the number of independent rows and columns.\n\nSince A^2 = I, this confirms A is nxn, so we're off to a good start.\n\nThe product of each row i x column i = 1, and row i x column j = 0, when i <> j.\n\nI think rank(I+A) + rank(I-A) somewhere is the solution by comparing the number of independent rows left of I+A and noticing there's only so many independent rows left in I-A.\n\nOne might wonder what does rank(I+A) + rank(I-A) suggest about the equation... (I+A)x(I-A)\n\n(I+A)x(I-A) = matrix[I(i,j)+A(i,j)] x matrix[I(k,l)-A(k,l)]\n            = matrix[sigma(row(i)xcolum(l))]\n            = matrix[sigma(j)(I(i,j)*I(i,l)-I(i,j)*A(j,l)+I(i,j)*A(j,l) -A(i,j)*A(j,l))]\n            = matrix[sigma(j)(I(i,j)*I(i,l)-A(i,j)*A(j,l))]\n            = I^2-A^2\n            = I - I\n            = 0\n\nSorry I couldn't answer your question completely.

where can u find a guy that's trust wothy?

The conundrum is that you can find him the same place where the guy who is untrustworthy is.  At the end of teh day, they may actually be roommates.  Trustworthy guys are not in one place over another.  Guys trustworthy nature are a product of their upbringing and environment.  If you are the aggressive type, try many different places in findign a guy, but just because you see a good one there, doesn't mean the others are good.  The key is about taking things slow so that you can properly evaluate him without committing too much of your time, resources or body.


I've been having a pretty busy couple of weeks and this one looks like it's shaping up to be no exception. Despite all of the work commitments, my girlfriend has gone to The Dominican Republic for a week, so I'm left with little to do but work and answer questions.\n\nI'll be around as much as I can in the near future, but spring is a brutal work time for me.\n\nThanks for the concern.

What is the normal size of the human bowel?

Do you mean the length of the actual bowel (the large intestine)?\n\nThe large intestines is approximately 1.5 meters in length.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(anatomy)\nThe colon measures about 5 ft (1.5 m) in length.  http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=2787\n\nJust in case you meant small intestine:  total length of the small intestine in adult men averages over twenty feet. http://www.scientia.org/cadonline/Biology/digestive/smallintest.ASP\nThe total length of the small bowel is approximately 6 meters.   http://www.ddc.musc.edu/ddc_pub/digestiveOrgans/smallBowel.htm


who invented the submarine both design/1st sucessfull and first electronic?

The concept of a boat that would sail under water goes back at least as far as the 16th century. In 1573, an Englishman named William Bourne published a design for a submersible boat that featured a mast that could operate as a snorkel. It does not appear that Bourne ever actually built the vessel, but his ideas influenced others.\n\nIn 1620, a Dutchman living in England named Cornelius van Drebbel built several wooden submarines that could sink just under the surface of the water, where they were propelled by oars and obtained air through tubes to the surface. Details of van Drebbel's submarines are sketchy as he was an extremely secretive man, but reports indicate that he made a number of submarine trips up and down the Thames.\n\nIn the following century and a half, many people made boats that could sink and, sometimes, come back up again. These experiments were often the nautical equivalent of tying on wings and jumping off towers in attempts to fly. Nonetheless, by 1727 at least 14 patents had been issued for submarine designs in England alone.\n\nThese were generally just submersible rowboats, but a few useful features were developed. In 1747, an Englishman named Nathaniel Symons, working from an idea suggested decades earlier, developed a vessel that could sink by letting water into leather bags, and then rise again by twisting the water out of the bags. This was the first known use of the concept of a "ballast tank".\n\nThe first attempt at a submarine that actually seemed worthy of the name was the TURTLE, designed during the American Revolution by David Bushnell, a student at Yale involved in resistance against the British. The precise details of Bushnell's design are not known as all he left behind was a written description. The most common illustration of the TURTLE was drawn over a century later from that description, and some of the features in this illustration are implausible.\n\nThe TURTLE was a one-man craft, shaped like two bowls with tapered lips joined together, with a brass "conning tower" on top that provided portholes to allow the operator to see. The conning tower was capped by a hatch. The submarine was propelled by hand-driven horizontal and vertical propellers and carried a 68 kilogram (150 pound) black powder charge, to be attached to a warship with a hand-driven screw. The charge was detonated by a clockwork timing mechanism that released a spring-loaded hammer to strike a percussion cap.\n\nThe little submarine was kept upright by a lead weight in the bottom, which could be discarded in an emergency. The operator could make the craft sink by letting water into a tank and rise again by pumping it out. He obtained air through valves that closed when the submarine was completely under water. There was enough air to allow it to stay under for about half an hour. The TURTLE was steered by a rudder, and had a compass and barometer for navigation. Handling the propellers, rudder, and all the other gear kept the operator extremely busy.\n\nBushnell proposed to use the TURTLE to attack British vessels that were blockading American ports. Although Bushnell himself wanted to pilot the craft, he fell ill, and substitutes were found. In August 1776, Sergeant Ezra Lee of the American Army took the TURTLE to sea.\n\nThe little submarine was towed towards the British blockaders by two longboats, and then released to move forward on the tide. The tide swept him past his target, the warship HMS EAGLE, and Lee had to wait for the tide to reverse before he could make his way to his target. The screw used to attach the charge could not penetrate the copper sheathing covering the warship's hull and Lee was forced to give up the attack.\n\nWhile he was struggling to return the TURTLE to shore, the British noticed the strange little vessel bobbing on the surface and sent out a boat to investigate. Lee released the charge, activating the clockwork timer. The charge exploded and the British

Nepal's got some problems, they got Maoist revolutionaries knocking down the front door, and a monarchy that needs to leave by the back door , so democracy can form. Am very surprised the US is just idly watching this. We're on the verge of losing Nepal to China.It wouldn't take as much to form a democracy there, as say Afghanistan, If we could just get the monarchy to listen, and let us or India, anyone really,{except China} put in a few thousand troops for stability.

How do the spread of diseases that depend on air differ from spread of diseases from person-to-person contact?

Not sure what you're looking for besides the obvious....\n\nAirborne spread is much faster than person-to-person.  For a person-to-person disease, the infected person has to come in physical contact with someone else to spread the disease.  For airborne transmission, the infected person just needs to have been in the same room.

I am a chemical engineer. I need excel spreadsheets that automate material and energy balances. Thanks.?

Before doing that you have to make a simple flow diagram of your process if it's simple too (simple reactions ) then after by allocating stream numbers for the differnt streams,\nfor mass transfer:\nyou can address each stream one or more cells in your excel sheet(depends on that wether you want to consider the stream as a unit one ar separated composition). to have the materials balanced, you should know the relation between the Inputs and Outputs and also the reactions are involved .then after only you can balance the streams.\n\nfor heat transfer:\nyou should consider all the heat generation and consumption terms (simple heat transfer through utility fluids like water,steam,... , heat generated by reactions , material cooling and heating which stand alone is consider as a source of heat generation or consumption , vaporizasion , condensation , freezing , melting , ... ) all these terms use or release heat. after identifiyng all the terms only you can have the heat balanced othere wise you are not able to do. making this done in Excel is very simple .\n\nany way  I'm sure you know all these and need an example, but those are too much also depending on the case. if you still want to know, send me an email to give you some example. but I greately suggest you to use like this excel sheet in your projects as it reduces the human failures in computational procedures and of course time elapsed.\ngood luck.

what are the side effects of long term prescription for amoxicillen?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n\nSafety of Long Term Penicillin and Penicillin Derivatives\n\nThe safety of penicillin and penicillin derivatives when administered either intramuscularly, intravenously, or orally for extended periods of time (beyond the usual duration of use) can be extrapolated from multiple published studies. A review of the medical literature reveals studies in which such drugs have been used therapeutically for extended treatment durations. This includes studies of the treatment of recurrent acute otitis media, endocarditis, salmonella infections, prophylaxis of at risk populations (asplenic children, young children with sickle cell disease, patients with prior rheumatic fever), and the long term treatment of certain types of Lyme disease. Although most of these studies focus primarily on efficacy, they do routinely contain general statements indicating the safety and tolerability of the treatment under study. A few studies mentioned the presence of isolated cases of rash, gastrointestinal events, but none of the studies report the occurrence of a serious adverse event.\n\nA review of the Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) database as performed by an Office of Post-Marketing Drug Risk Assessment (OPDRA) special programmer revealed occasional cases of adverse events associated with the administration of long term penicillin therapy, however, these adverse events were consistent with the known adverse event profile of penicillin. OPDRA concluded that "no increase in or atypical adverse drug reactions were noted in the few cases involving long-term administration of oral or intramuscular penicillin G or V (all dosage forms)." This data is generated via isolated adverse event reports submitted to the FDA, and it may be difficult to determine the overall rates of adverse events in relation to treatment duration. A similar analysis is currently being performed by OPDRA for amoxicillin and Augmentin®.\n\nThere is a higher incidence of cholestatic or mixed cholestatic-hepatocellular patterns of liver injury associated with administration of Augmentin®. This has been demonstrated by several published case reports. 8, 12, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 27, 28 Fatalities are very rare (on the order of one in several million) and similar hepatotoxicity is not thought to occur with amoxicillin administration. A study by Garcia-Rodriguez identified specific sub-populations who might be at increased risk for hepatotoxicity.10 These groups include older patients, and patients on long term therapy. The overall risk is still very low but was noted to be significantly higher than for the comparison group receiving amoxicillin. The information from this study was submitted in a labeling supplement and resulted in the identification of these risk groups in the label.\n\nThese antibiotics have an extensive history of use, and the lack of any serious adverse events as reported in these studies support their reputation as safe drugs. Reassurance can be derived from the fact that no increase in serious adverse events has been reported in the literature despite broad usage. Clinicians should still be aware that, although quite unlikely, when using these drugs over extended period of time, the potential exists for slight increases in the rates of specific adverse events which are infrequent enough to have escaped detection. Although there is no data to suggest such an increase (except for Augmentin® and hepatotoxicity), adverse events could include increased liver function tests, serum sickness, interstitial nephritis, effects on anti-coagulant therapy, and neutropenia. \n\nDETAILED REVIEW OF DATAc. Amoxicillin (n= 627)\n\nNine studies were identified which examined long term amoxicillin prophylaxis (4 weeks - 6 months) in children with recurrent acute otitis media. 29-37 There were 488 patients who were treated with doses ranging from 20-40 mg/kg/day of amoxicillin. In total, there were 11 adverse event reported. Four patients were report

There is a thing in the sky and is flashing colors and not moving, what is it ?

Greetings,\n\nIt was probably Sirius the Dog Star.  One of the closer stars to us and when it twinkles it appears red, blue, green, and is really big for a star.\n\nIt was NOT a planet, as planets don't twinkle.  Jupiter is bright, but it's not very high up in the sky at 8:00 pm.  Venus is currently only up in the morning.  Saturn is a dim yellowish star in Gemini.  Mars is a dim orange star between Taurus and the Pleides.\n\nSo to sum up, it was most likely Sirius.\n\nYou can use the link provided for a interactive star chart that is easy to read and use.  Simply plug in your city and state and the time of day/night you want to see and most of the visible stars will show up along with the planets, comets, and a few other deep space objects.\n\n-matt

would u discontinue your  relationship with your mom who had a pedophile as a live in boyfriend?

I think your right not to talk to her. Her actions were stupid and selfish. I recently had a similar situation in my family, a relative of mine had a pedophile boyfriend, she claimed she ended the relationship with him, but had obviously lied, because the man was arrested for molesting her boys. Shockingly no actions have been taken against her, she still has custody of her children. I heard that DCFS has 'black listed' her, and will be monitoring her closely, but I think she should have lost all of her children. She knew the man was a convicted sex offender and brought him into her home. Needless to say, I have nothing to do with her.

If proteins require chaperonins to fold properly, how do chaperonins fold themselves?

The folding of proteins is inherent in its sequence of amino acids. The particular amino code sequence causes interactions among themselves due to charge difference. Chaperones only aid in folding by providing a neutral environment (safe zone) to fold away from the stressed state of the cytoplasm. Some chaperones are only expressed in times of stress, such as heat shock proteins. Chaperones themselves are folded into conformation through ATP/ enzymatic action. \nYou answer your own question...chaperonins fold themselves,due to their inherent sequence.


My bf is concerened about my male friends on 360?

Ask yourself why is he insecure? Are you spending more time on 360 than with him? If he were spending his down time on360 instead of talking to you would you feel the same way? Is he spending a lot of time out of the home? He could be cheating and feeling guilty so he is trying to make you feel guilty. Think about those things and you may come up with the answer to your question.

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare syndrome associated with alkaline urine and some urinary tract infections, and is more frequently observed in chronically catheterized and constipated women. The urinary catheter drainage system changes colour from red or blue to violet or purple, sometimes with differently coloured tube and bag. The aetiology is still controversial but in the literature researched most authors believe that indigo, which is blue, and indirubin, which is red, are responsible for the colours obtained.\n\nThe chain reaction responsible for the PUBS begins with tryptophan from the food chain being metabolized by gut bacteria. This metabolic process produces indole, which is absorbed into portal circulation and converted into indoxyl sulphate in the liver, after a series of detoxification transformations.\n\nIndoxyl sulphate is excessively excreted in the urine and is digested into indoxyl by the enzyme sulphatase/phosphatase produced by certain bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Morganella morganii, Escherichia coli, and so on. Indoxyl then changes into indigo and indirubin in alkaline urine [1,2].\n\nConcerning PUBS, we present the clinical case report of a 56-year-old female patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit for almost 6 years, chronically catheterized and with alkaline urine. Isolation of the bacteria M. morganii, P. aeruginosa and P. mirabilis in urine culture was frequent. The urinary catheter drainage system and the bag varied in colour and increased in intensity the longer the system remained unchanged (Figs 1, 2, 3 show different discolourations).\n\nConsidering the known etiologic and physiopathologic mechanisms of PUBS, it is surprising how rarely this situation is observed and/or reported.


Should you be punished for something you did as a child 25 years ago?

u did the thing 25 years ago.. and u know its bad.. am sure the amount of guilt u feel every time u think of it through these 25 years or whenever u knew it was wrong is enough, more than enough to punish u.. but still.. u gotta do something to pay back that certain person..even if without him knowing..


isnt girls are really beautiful or makeup makes beautiful  .only girls with honestly answer?

I think it depends on how the individual woman feels about herself.  Some women like to go all natural and they can do that.  Some women have to have make up on all the time.  I don't feel that makeup should be a factor on how beautiful a woman is.  Beauty must come from the inside first to reflect on the outside...fireyspirit

What is the hardest metal in the periodic table?

Osmium is the hardest, as well as the most dense- Osmium and the closely related iridium are used in the balls of ball-point pens because of their hardness, thus they dont deform under the relatively powerful force generated during writing.\nUranium is not used as a shell because of it's hardness, but because of it's density, which is a more important aspect for penetrating armor.

I want 2 be a singer. and i always have. Wat should i do to become 1?

Take lessons, and practice, practice, practice. Get familiar with the classic techniques and adapt them to your own body (locking your abs, posture, breathing). Only practicing you'll discover what works better for you and get better. Also, put yourself out there: sing at parties, talent shows, and answer as many casting calls as you're able (maybe you'd like to try joining a talent agency)

(if you have a different number, use that.)\n\nTo change Farenheit to Kelvin, you use the formula:\n\n\nK = (°F + 459.67) / 1.8\n\nso plugging in 9000 for farenheit, if my calculations are correct, the Earth's core should be about 5255.37 K

what is the best way to deal with depression?

SEE A DOCTOR!  It took me 1 year to get established on medications that did not make my depression worse and actually started to help me. And be referred to a counselor. You need to talk about it.\n\nI see a lot of good answers on here but everyone MUST realize this - depression can sneak up on you and totally immobilize you. It can cause severe panic attacks and you can develop a fear of even going outside. Until depression starts to lift, you are pretty well unable to help anyone else or enjoy any hobbies. And its not feeling sorry for yourself - even if depression were a self-pity or mind thing, you still are not physically, emotionally or mentally able to deal with it alone. You must have professional help and hopefully, a good friend who will recognize what is happening to you and be there for you whenever you need her/him.


Despite Global Warming, why does the US continue to emit record Greenhouse gas levels?

The almighty dollar is more important now than what will happen in the future.\n\nIt's like the oil companies.  We'll be out of oil in 50-60 years, but right now, we can make money off of it, and we'll just let the younger generation take care of it.\n\nWell, I AM the younger generation.  About the time I retire, the world will have almost NO oil left.  That will be a catostrophic event.  Homes will go cold, tractors will not run, and no one will be able to get to work.  They need to fix this now.\n\nIt's the same with Global Warming.  Except it's a LITTLE further off...hopefully.\n\nI'm sorry for getting a little off topic.  I;'m using it as a point, and I hope everyone understands.  I'm not one of these crazy, neo-enviromentalists; I actually am interested in politics.  And all this has to do with politics.


in the last supper, was the person at the right side of Jesus a woman?

there could be a huge possibility that the person beside jesus is mary magdalene and not an apostle (i think its peter) no one may ever know. it all depends on ones belief or research. \n\nsome people do believe that the cup of christ is mary magdalene and as the book "the da vinci code" explains to us that jesus may have had an offspring with mary magdalene, and that she started the merovingian blood line. \n\nsome people may say this as blasphemy or in-accurate but remember that there is still no REAL proof that jesus ever exsisted, we all base it on the bible and other written records but found not even one real evidence that he ever lived. so who could say that the person beside him is not a woman..

Why do I need to restart my modem when I switch the cable between my PC and Mac?

each device pulls a seperate IP address.  Once you modem picks up one many cannot automatically switch between devices.  You can get a cheap router($40) that will split that signal so you do not have to reset.  A router works like a cable splitter for your TV.....\n\nWireless will help as long as both your PC and Mac have a wirelss card.  About $60 a piece

cockroach has only  white blood then where it gets the oxygen?

cockroach respires with the help of air tubes called trachae which is spread all over the body.Trachae opens to the exterior by means of 10 pairs of stigmata or spiracles which have valves.Air enters stigmata and is directly taken into the tissues where exchange of gases takes place.Blood has no role to play in respiration as in other animals and so respiration in cockroach(in insects in general) is said to be direct and more efficient than in any other animal.

Why some elements have variable valency?

The valency is determined by how many electrons the atom is using to bond with another atom to form a compound. The electrons in the outermost orbit generally forms the bonds. For materials having multiple electrons in the outermost orbit the element can have different valencies. Whatever happens tends to lower the the total energy of the system to make it stable.

apparently some of the people answering this question dont know anything about homeopathy or are confusing it with herbal medicine or as a generic term for alternative medicine.\n\nHomeopathy DOES NOT HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS! the solution is diluted past Avogadro's  number, which in chemistry means that there is probably not even a molecule of the substance in the solution.\n\nThe way homeopathy works is that there is an "energy signature" left by the soulution and that is what the body responds to to heal itself.

i am trying to get a basic set of rules and regulations for a taxicab dispatcher?

you are a little vague, but driver safety should be first. i worked for a cab company for 5 years, and it was always this way. corner calls after dark were optional, and if there is an address that is known to have problems, or if a cab driver picked up someone and was robbed, it was usually boycotted. any night that a driver had problems in a bad neighborhood, cabs were banned from pickups for the rest of the night. cooperate with the cops, and other cab drivers. if your driver gets robbed, call the other company's, and ask for the same, so you can warn your drivers. have a fair and firm dispatch policy...if you 'feed' certain drivers all the good calls, you will end up not being able to keep drivers. if you don't have good drivers, your business will suffer. don't overbook your timecalls. if you have twenty people asking for 6am pickups, and you know you only have ten drivers, or less, be honest. tell them at least that you will put them down, but don't guarantee it. keep a record of all calls. we have a time clock, and each call is written on a little card with a hole punched in the top. the pickup and destination are written down. punch the time you get the call, the time driver calls in picked up, and calls in vacant. this is good for safety, you know where your drivers are and about how long before they are available for another call. it helps if the cops come around, or if drivers complain that someone else got their call. it also helps if someone gets kidnapped,like i did...knowing where i was supposed to be headed, where i had picked up and what time, the dispatcher got a clue that there was a problem, and called the cops.

well, im not sure what ardware is, but two similar words, hardware and adware, i can define.\n\nHardware is what is physically in your computer if you opened up the case. It typically consists of a Mother Board, Power Supply, Hard Drive, Proccessor, RAM Cards, Video Card, and CD drive. Software is the applications you run on your computer. Windows XP is software.\n\nAdware is a program designed to promote advertisements on your computer. They can also give access to your computer remotely as to "hack" or break into your computer. I would recomend getting both Adaware and SpyBot S&E from http://www.download.com install both of them and update them. Then run 3 full system sweeps with each one. Once you do that, just run one full cycle for each of them once a week and you should be good.

Pay attention to what you are feeling in this dream. Everything is always symbolic, its not always what it seems. This is not about being lesbian or gay.\n\nRemember this dream is about who you are and how you relate with yourself. So since people are aspects of yourself and this is how they treat you in this dream, so this means this is how you treat and relate with yourself. Do you judge yourself too harshly? Do you not trust who you really are? Do you fear that others will judge you? Do you feel boxed or place too much importance on labels (in general that is)?\n\nPlease don't call your dreams as "nasty". To do so, means you are calling yourself "nasty". So love yourself unconditionally and accept that you are perfect the way you are and only you know who you truly are. Nothing else, not even your mind/dreams/thoughts will ever make you be someone you are not.\n\nOnce you validate and address those judgmental feelings within, then you will feel more at peace within.


If I jump up in the air on a moving bus...?

If you jump, you will be moving at the same speed as the vehicle just before you left the floor.\n\nWhen in the air, if the vehicle is accelerating, the vehicle will move forward faster than you and consequently, you will land some distance from where you jumped and vice versa.\n\nIf on the other hand, the vehicle was not accelerating, you will land at the exact place you jumped from. Of course, this is not counting air resistance.

I have a baseball hand signed by the 1983 Pittsburgh Pirates. How much is it worth, or where would I find out?

Put it up on eBay with a reserve price the amount for which you'd be willing to part with it.  The reserve price will probably hold down the estimated value by about 25%.  If you decide you want to sell it, contact the bidders from the first auction and let them know this time there's no reserve, and let the market do its thing.\n\nFYI, it's not going be worth more than $50-100 at the most, based on the market for similar team (i.e. non-Championship caliber teams)

Does the new Gospel found.changes the way you think about God?

nope. there are quite a few false "gospels" that different sects like the gnostics wrote that are not in accordance with the rest of the Bible. its interesting historically and teaches us more about these sects, but it doesnt mean that it was ever part of maintstream Christianity or that its true. the gospel of judas sounds like pretty typical gnostic stuff- the flesh is bad, the spirit is good, judas was helping Jesus get rid of the bad flesh, only certain special people get special knowledge... nothing particularly new, just dealing with judas.


What is the feeling when you fall asleep called?

There are actually quite a few different medical terms for this, depending on the severity.\n\nBut what typically happens for most of us when we say that our leg "fell asleep" is simply the loss of blood circulation. Usually this will occur when we sit, sleep, or otherwise position ourselves in a particularly odd way...such as lying on one's arm for a lengthy period of time.\n\nOften, I have just referred to it called simply as "arm/leg numbness." But the more severe varieties have far more professional medical terms associated with them; for example, if one's arm nerves are the cause of the trouble.


(mathmatically) why does a pool of fresh, distilled water have the same density of the same liquid?

density has to do with the relationship between mass and volume. Water has a density of 1. As long as the mass stays in the same relationship with the volume of water, it has the same density.

Are there any scientific documents which support the assumption that HIV causes AIDS?

ADDENDUM: Way to take a quote out of context, you FRAUD! You managed to miss the sentence that followed immediately: "There is no single scientific paper that proves HIV causes AIDS. INSTEAD THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PAPERS CONTAINING A WIDE RANGE OF EVIDENCE THAT, TAKEN TOGETHER, MAKE THE CASE OVERWHELMING."\n\nYou simply stopped reading after the first full stop. You also probably have no experience reading scientific literature, because if you did, you'd know that major ideas in science are supported by SEVERAL peer-reviewed sources, and that consistency in the literature is the basis for a STRONG argument. \n</addendum>\n\nPrevailing distrust of the pharmaceutical/medical establishment has led to a wave of conspiracy theorists (aka, wearers of tin-foil hats) who do not believe in the etiological connection between HIV and AIDS. \n\n1. Strength. A strong association, such as a five- or tenfold increase in risk, is more likely to be causal than a weak association (such as a 10% increase in risk) because a weak association is more likely to be spurious, arising from bias, confounding, or chance. However, a weak association does not rule out causality! Nonetheless, HIV is present in all cases of AIDS, which is a pretty strong association, don't you think?\n\n2. Consistency. If the association is repeatedly observed in different populations in different settings, it is more likely to be causal than an isolated observation. For example, AIDS has been shown to affect gays, Haitians, Africans and hemophiliacs -- their only commonality would be HIV-infection. However, lack of consistency does not rule out a causal connection; some causes only work in certain circumstances, say in the presence of cofactors. These cofactors include genetic predisposition to delay onset of disease compared to other cases.\n\n3. Specificity. The idea here is that a cause should lead to a single effect, not multiple effects. HIV --> immunodeficiency syndrome. This may have been a holdover from infectious disease thinking; it is clearly wrong in many other circumstances. For instance, smoking causes lung cancer, bladder cancer, emphysema, and heart disease.\n\n4. Temporality. A cause must precede an effect in time. This one is ALWAYS true! HIV infection **always** precedes development or AIDS. It has never been shown that AIDS patients acquire HIV subsequent to the onset of syndrome.\n\n5. Biological gradient. This is the presence of a dose-response gradient; if more of a dose leads to more of an effect, this supports the idea of causality. A dose-response gradient is helpful, but its absence doesn't rule out causation (DES and vaginal adenocarcinoma, asbestos and mesothelioma) and its presence doesn't prove causation (since it may result from confounding or bias). In this sense, there is such thing as an infectious dose. Theren eeds to be a fairly significant amount of virus in order to generate infection and subsequent disease. Exposure to one virus particle does not necessitate infection because the body's immune response can still clear it.\n\n6. Plausibility. The idea of causation must be biologically plausible. This may be elusive because we hold many fixed ideas; many people doubted for years that peptic ulcer disease cold be infectious in origin! OK, this is bulletpoint you take most issue with. Hundreds of scientists have worked for the past twenty-plus years elucidating the mechanism of infection from how it enters the body, where it lands (receptor sites, specific responses), how it propagates, and how it spreads. The explantations they have come up with are plenty biologically plausible (that is assuming oyu understand advanced biological concepts).\n\n7. Coherence. The idea of causation must accord with other observations. For example, as Hill wrote, a causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer was coherent with the observations that smokers had dysplasia of the bronchial epithelium, or th

Do you love him? If so you are going to want to stay together and try to make the relatinship work.

wath is application nanotechnology in immunology?

Because of the small size nano technology will help in making medicine/curing tools that is small enough to  flow in the blood streams and only kill harmful cells instead of healthy cells.This help not only physically but also mentalli because people doesn't really have to deal with that much of phisical pain such as injected , cut by surgery knifes etc but instead swallowing the necessary cure and thus aiding a much faster recovery.\nNanotechnology tools might also be used to study germs and how our immune system affect it whether inside our body or on the germs body concerned.

But what will I wear? I don't want to ask the devil, i want to impress him, after all, it's not every day the dark lord ask for advice.

what is a hard shelled octagon spider called .we have them in our back yard . does any one know if they posion

More imformation would deffinently help. It is pretty much impossible to tell from the info you gave. What do you mean octagon spider? Does that refer to the web? Some helpful info would be the color, size, and shape of the spider, the shape, size, and location of the web, and where you found the spider (state, country, ect.). Any other information would also help. \n\nAnother thing to consider is that all spiders (other than a small, rare family) have venom. It is unlikely that they are very harmful, but again, I would need more information to say that for sure. Try a field guide (library is a good place to look) and see if you can find what kind it is, then research that one. If you want, post some more info here, and I will try to find it.

Do all Mama's boys have an Oedipus complex?

No, Freud's theory on the oedipus complex was based on him studying himself, not others. So it was faulty research started by a myth.   Additionally it has been proven wrong by numerous other psychologists such as Albert Bandura (social leaning theory) B.F. Skinner (behaviorism) and Erikson (psychosocial development).  When trying to figure out why boys mimic their fathers, read Bandura (its not because they love their mothers)

a poor education system that focuses too much on America and little else. many of them are completely clueless about other countries and cultures. e.g. lots of them think of Europe as one country and think you can drive all over it in one week and see it all. A supposedly intelligent adult office worker in America once asked my Scottish friend if they have computers in Scotland! I rest my case.


If you think love is nothing but kiss and hugs, you haven't felt it yet. I mean no offense to you at all, but that's (at least what I believe) to be true. Love is as much an emotional thing as it is physical. When you find your true love, it's like your life is complete: you don't care if your job sucks, you have no  money, and you look like crap. Just knowing that someone loves you can make all the difference. It can be the best or the worst thing in the world, depending on if it lasts.


Why is life apparently so scarce in the universe ?

Well extraterrestial planet hunting is only just beginning to be able to discover "smaller" planets. As before only the giant ones indicated their presence, by the effect of their gravity on the parent star.\nRemember even the most powerful telescopes on earth merely see a distant star as a point of light.\nAs for a signal, surveillance equipment is steadily becoming more sophisticated, and discoveries are continously being made to enhance the resolving power of the apparatus. \nMy view is life will not be that common, but a fair few systems will have, or have had life on them at some point. I am sure that in the next twenty years, an umistakeable signal, either intentional or not will be received on earth, and we will know that we are not alone.


What is ur favorite Halloween movie and why?


i have windows ME and i want to know how to  turn on my microphone?

Step 1:  Get rid of windows ME.  It's crappy and nobody uses it anymore, because nobody liked it in the first place.  You can run either windows 98 or windows 2000 on that machine.  \n\nStep 2:  Follow step 1, your problem will be solved.


ok, i think one will be where you have to solve a word problem dealing with alegebra. One with number sentences that have a letter on one side of the problem and letters on both sides of the problem. i could be wrong, but i'm trying to help.

I have a question about the mormon religion?

I have never heard this before, and I have studied a lot on the religion.  Because they are so secrative rumors like this start.  However, there are so many wrong teachings of the mormons that there is no need to make stuff up about them!\n\nMormonism teaches:\n\nThat there is more than one God.\nThat God the Father is really just an exalted man with flesh and bones just like you and me.\nThat we also can become gods.\nThat the apostle John is still alive today, but yet believe that the church went into complete apostacy (meaning John must have left Jesus, too).\nThat Adam and Eve didn't really sin.\nThat salvation is earned and that grace is nothing more than "enabling power" that aids people as they seek perfection.\nTeaches that the Father actually had sex with Mary and that she was not a virgin.\n\nI have been told that the last one is not widely believed by the Mormon church, and is not an "official" church doctrine.  I know that Doctrines of Salvation vol. 1:18 says that Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.  I do not know if that is one of their "official" sources of doctrine.  I know this does, however, contradict both Matthew 1:18, and even the Book of Mormon (Alma 7:10).  \n\nMormonism IS a cult, IS a perversion of the gospel of Christ, and IS NOT the "true church" as they claim.


is there a marathon that lets u run at age 13?


By the UCMJ a military person can date a person 16 years or older.  Although also by military standards you must adhere to local/state laws.  If the state age of consent is 18 the youngest you can date is 18.  If the state age of consent is 15 the youngest you can date is 16.

If we let the MUSLIMS KILL ALL THE JEWS, will all other Islamic wars stop?

The nature of these extremists is to have no value of life. the lack of compassion for life is what causes wars in most places anyway. \n\nI dont think they could ever be happy. because then every muslim country would be fighting over who gets whats left of the jewish land. besides that, then everyone would be fighting over who blew up the temple mount or whatever the muslims call it.\n\nI personally dont believe that even america could wipe israel off the map. its impossible. There is a reason WHY every nation is so politically intersted in such a tiny little country with no real wealth or industrial interests. Its not the jews who are building nukes and threathening world peace anyway, theyre just trying to claim what was theirs. scotland did the same thing, the indians did the same thing, every nation some where has at some time gone through this sort of religeous political struggle. But israel will ultimately remain.

can someone tell me what happened  on the last few episodes of invasion?

This is the last three\n\n\n"The Nest"\nAirdate: 02/15/2006 \nCuriosity and frustration get the best of Kira as she searches for the truth about her father, Mariel and what is happening to the people of Homestead. But she soon finds her life in danger when she falls in with the wrong crowd during her search. Meanwhile, Russell helps Mariel test her blood for abnormalities and discovers a shocking anomaly. \n \n"The Fittest"\nAirdate: 03/08/2006 \nRussell and Underlay must team together to catch hybrids Derek and a pregnant Christina -- who are armed, on the run and extremely volatile. But along the way they stumble upon a group of suspicious migrant workers who have been banished from the rest of their group. Meanwhile, Mariel tells Jesse and Rose the truth about what happened to her during the hurricane, Kira lies unconscious in the hospital after her encounter with the luminescent orange being, and Larkin uses a military source to get more answers about Paxton and why he was in the water the night of the hurricane. \n \n"The Key"\nAirdate: 03/15/2006 \nChristina forces Mariel to perform an ultrasound to find out what's growing inside her rapidly expanding womb. Meanwhile, Russell and Dave set out to discover what Healy knew about the hybrids, and Jesse becomes concerned about the odd behavior displayed by some of his classmates after the school is reopened.

What (financial) help is available for low-income with house due for Sheriff Sale soon?

File bankruptcy today. Only way to stop sale and give yourself some time. File a ch 13 than once that get dismissed  file a ch 7 the same day.\n\nIf you play in the courts by continuing the case it can take up to 6 months before they can sell. I would use that time to either sell the home or find a place to rent. \n\nAlso once the home is sold they still have to evict you, so if you learn the laws you can stay even longer by working the courts. Usually the people that buy at the sheriffs sale will offer you some money a couple grand to leave, so you don't tie up the property in court. There is an attorney that a company has been trying to evict  for over year since they foreclosed.  \n\nLaw do vary from state to state on forecloses.

INTERNET DATING ? fed up  with current girlfriend?

Online dating depends on what kind of person you are.\nIf you are a very adventerous, outgoing, experimental guy... THEN GO FOR IT!\n\nBut there's always that chance that you may not be talking to who you think. There are crazy internet fanatics who fake their identities and mess with people, SO YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THEM.\n\nI would say you would have a 50-50 chance of finding a mate online. Although, there's also a 50-50 chance of finding somebody in the real world.\n\nGOODLUCK!

why are nuclear cooling towers shaped the way they are shaped?

Many (square?) cooling towers are open on all sides through wooden or fiberglas slates that allow air to enter and mix with the sprayed water to be cooled.  The water droplets partially evaporate giving up much of their heat then fall to the cooling tower basin below the tower where the "cooled" water is pumped back into the plant to extract more waste heat.  The water is recycled perhaps to extract heat from giant condensers to create very low pressures (partial vacuums) at the turbine discharge permitting the turbine-generate to generate far more electricity than if the turbine discharged directly to the atmosphere.\n\nHyperbolic (hour-glass shaped?) cooling towers perform the same function and likely are more expensive to build than cylendrical (or square) cooling towers but the advantage is that all air enters at the bottom of the cooling tower (not through the sides) and passes up through the entire tower height producing a "chimney" effect that strengthens the draft promoting better heat rejection.  The reduced diameter would increase air velocity (like a ventouri tube) to counter the downward pressure of the water drops.

Surfer there is lots of pro indoor volleyball!\n\nI think that they get paid the most in Italy (lot$ of $$$$) but there are teams in every European nation. (My sister played in France, I have friends that have played in Germany, Holland and Italy.)\n\nhttp://sigla.com/pallavolomodena/volleyball-players.asp  Professional volleyball players of Cimone Volley Modena, Italy: players profile, photos, images, pictures, videos, movies, interviews, press releases, press conferences, comments, opinions, news, transfers, notes, statistics, reviews, technical analysis by Italian volleyball insiders.\n\nKarch played in Italy for years!\n\n\nSection 3.5 How much can I make playing in Europe?\n Your salary depends on your skill level, where you play, and the financial capabilities of the team you play for. Professional contracts can range from a few hundred U.S. dollars to $10,000+ each month. Some contracts also include signing bonuses and performance-based incentives packages for wins. It is important to keep in mind that, aside from the very best, world-class players, salaries have dropped as a whole from previous years. You may have to get used to the idea that your first year salary may be far lower than what your friends made in their first seasons a couple of years ago. On the upside, however, the money you make playing professionally in Europe is normally tax free, rent free, and insurance free, so if you are contracted to earn $1000USD per month, that’s exactly how much you will be paid (not $1000 less taxes, rent, etc. as in the States).\nSection 3.6 Aside from my salary, what else will be provided for in a professional contract?\n Typical European contracts include provisions for a furnished apartment (usually to be shared with another foreign player on the team), one roundtrip airline ticket (to Europe at the beginning of the season and back to the States at the end of the season), health insurance, and sometimes the shared use of a car. Higher-profile contracts can include airfare home to the States at Christmas, language tutors, mobile phone usage, and daily meals provided by a local sponsoring restaurant. Keep in mind that every situation is different every year, so there are no guarantees.\n\nIt should first be noted that the highest levels of professional volleyball are not exclusive to Europe. In fact, Brazil and Japan have two of the top professional leauges in the world. Within Europe, Italy is the top league for both men and women, but then things get a little tricky. Russia & Turkey are good (and high-paying) league for both men and women, while Greece is storng (money and level) for men much moreso than for the women. Other European Cup teams from the most competitive counties are on par with these tops teams as well. The second tier of European teams includes France, Spain, Germany, and Italy A2.\n\n(Sorry about my tangent.)

In the Ontario Hockey League who do you think will win the memorial cup this year?


how did work done by the steam engine compare to work done by horses?

.Steam engines could operate for a Lot longer before one had to shut them down for maintenance. Horses had to be rested often and since they were living creatures were subject to get sick, weaken with age, and had to be trained in the first place. The work horse did have some advantages over the early steam powered machines as the could go places where the engines could not go. As an example they used horses in the logging industry to bring the logs out of the forest to the mill which was powered by steam. One other thing the horses were much friendlier to the environment.

can you ever sniff off the smell of a flower?

do athesist belive in god and just hate orgainzid religions?or do they not belive in god?

We don't believe in God. Therefore we also don't believe in heaven or hell.\n\nSome of us were brought up in non-religious households, some turned away from religion for whatever personal reason. There are many, many reasons why people are atheist - as many reasons as people are religous. I am atheist because the thought that there is a god who tests peoples faith and judges them on how well they worship him appalls me. I hope other athiests will tell you why they don't believe.\n\nI do, however, respect people's religious beliefs and believe that we each have the right to our own faith. I would not want to deny anyone the right to their beliefs.\n\nSome people think that atheists are ignorant, arrogant or just plain stubborn, that we have no morals - sometimes these are people who claim their religion preaches tolerance and respect. Atheists don't feel that we need God's guidance to tell us what is right or wrong - that comes down to common sense and a desire to protect and continue humanity.\n\nMost of us have reached our belief through a lot of thought, and that decision doesn't come lightly - it takes courage to stand up and say that you don't believe in God. \n\nI hope this has helped.

is Hawkins, of Black Hole fame still alive?

Yes...and just paid off his bet to John Preskill in regards to whether information can escape from black holes.\n\nIn 1997 the three cosmologists Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne and John Preskill made a famous bet as to whether information that enters a black hole ceases to exist -- that is, whether the interior of a black hole is changed at all by the characteristics of particles that enter it.\n\nIt now looks like Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne may owe John Preskill a set of encyclopedias of his choice, since physicists at Ohio State University 'have derived an extensive set of equations that strongly suggest that the information continues to exist -- bound up in a giant tangle of strings that fills a black hole from its core to its surface.'

Born in Pomona, California, on April 28, 1981, Jessica Alba and her family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, when she was an infant. Three years later, her Air Force father brought the family back to California, then to Del Rio, Texas, before finally settling in Southern California when Jessica was nine. In love with the idea of becoming an actress from the age of five, she was 12 before she took her first acting class. Nine months later she was signed by an agent. A gifted young actress, Jessica has already played a variety of roles ranging from light comedy to gritty drama since beginning her career. She made her feature film debut in 1993 in Hollywood Pictures' comedy Camp Nowhere (1994). Originally hired for two weeks, she got her break when an actress in a principal role suddenly dropped out. Jessica cheerfully admits it wasn't her prodigious talent or charm that inspired the director to tap her to take over the part--it was her hair, which matched the original performer's. The two-week job stretched to two months, and Jessica ended the film with an impressive first credit. Two national TV commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penney quickly followed before Jessica was featured in several independent films. She branched out into TV in 1994 with a recurring role in Nickelodeon's popular comedy series "The Secret World of Alex Mack" (1994). She played an insufferable young snob, devoted to making life miserable for the the title character, played by Larisa Oleynik. That same year she won the role of Maya in "Flipper" (1995) and filmed the pilot for the series. She spent 1995 shooting the first season's episodes in Australia. An avid swimmer and PADI-certified scuba diver, Jessica was delighted to be doing a show that allowed her to play with dolphins. The show's success guaranteed it a second season, which she also starred in. Her involvement in the show lasted from 1995 to 1997. Since the show ended, Jessica has appeared in a number of television shows and movies. In 1996 she appeared in Venus Rising (1995) as Young Eve. In 1997 she appeared on the "The Dini Petty Show" (1989), a Canadian talk show, and spoke about her role in "Flipper" and her general acting career. She began working on P.U.N.K.S. (1999), featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. In early 1998 she appeared in "Brooklyn South" (1997), as Melissa. The same year she was in two episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) as Leanne and in two episodes of "The Love Boat: The Next Wave" (1998). She appeared in "Teen Magazine" in 1995 and various European magazines in the following several years. More importantly, she was featured in the February 1999, issue of "Vanity Fair". She also had major roles in two movies that year: Never Been Kissed (1999) and Idle Hands (1999). In 2000 she had roles in Paranoid (2000/I) and _Dark Angel (2000)


Same way you become an actor anywhere else --- you audition.  Are you in a geographic area that would lend itself to being involved in film and television? LA?  Vancouver?\n\nWatch the shows, find out who the casting directors are, and have your agency send them a headshot.  From there on out, it's all fate.\n\nGood luck.


how to bring my boyfriend back-i know he loves me?

I am going to empower you, girl, for this Life is far too short to attempt to spend it...as you appear to be trying to. Lesson One: STOP believing that YOU can read anyone else's mind, let alone a man's! STOP injecting YOUR feelings/voice into the space where someone else's feelings/voice should resound. And for the love of God, please STOP yourself whenever you find yourself even THINKING: "Yeah...I KNOW ______ (fill in space with a name) is behaving in this fashion BUT..." The reason why is this: Unless your last name is "Christ" you are most likely under-qualified to accurately 'read' other people's (true) feelings/emotions/thoughts, etc, etc. You can GUESS, but you will NOT always be correct. OK, if someone's real-world/real-time actions DO support a particular notion of yours, you CAN make an educated guess. But, for the sake of your not spending your life spinning your wheels and waiting for guys to act the way YOU 'know' they REALLY feel...please DO consider discerning/judging people (ESPECIALLY MEN!!!) by what they actually DO and NOT by what they say. Try to respect people enough to believe that they actually KNOW what they are saying/doing, even if it is not what YOU prefer them to say/do. Anything less makes YOU the 'bad guy', as in: controlling, manipulative...Bottom Line? If your man really loves you, he will find his own way back to you. And YOU should require nothin' less, because if HE left, he should EARN   you all over again. He will not respect you, otherwise, and you may have a lifetime filled with him goingcominggoingcoming...! A good woman IS worth her weight in diamonds. Has he presented you with something, somethought, someindication, which demonstrates to you HIS understanding of YOUR (positive) worth, yet? If not, why are you even wasting time TRYING to understand HIM?!? My dear, YOU are worth more than YOU (appear to) know. So...here's MY parting 'gift': If he IS an immature jerk, let 'im go. Alternately, (I promise) the minute you STOP! worrying about him and move on with your own life- and No, this doesn't necessarily mean YOU should go out and make an ass of yourself with other guys/men/boys, either- he WILL take notice (meaning: miss the dedicated attention his fabulosity assured him of receiving from you) and come running with his 'feelings' in full display for you to (mis)interpret...again. Oh! And if you are an attractive/sexy/cute/desirable/viable female...the latter will happen sooner than you can blink. Have faith. In you.

Is there a leader/politcian that can unite this country?

No. The biggest division between the left and right is whether we should hold the Constitution as the law of the land, or whether it should be considered a quaint old document that has no bearing on us today.\n\nAnd that division is all about what is considered freedom and liberty, and the role of government in our lives. Sometimes there is common ground, but mostly there is not. You have to fall on one side or the other.\n\nThe biggest cause of the divide between people is that previously, both parties covered a full political range - from conservative to liberal. Today, liberals have consolodated into the Democrat party, and conservatives to the Republican party. This creates division - deep division. \n\nIf you look at history with an unjaundiced eye, you would see very little difference in the politics of GW Bush and JFK (the real one). But Democrats today would consider JFK to be reactionary - to be pushed aside as out of the mainstream, like Lieberman is.\n\nAnd this divide is being increasedby the politicians' hateful rhetoric. Both sides are guilty, but most of the hateful, spiteful, malicious, lying and disgusting speech has been coming from the Democrats of late. The civility is non-existant.\n\nIn conclusion, nobody is going to heal these rifts because we can no longer find enough common ground. We cannot agree on what the Constitution means, we cannot agree on what the goals of our country should be. And politicians and people who wish to bridge the divide will be crushed by the extremes.


which teams do you think will have a superior form in this world cup?

I believe England, Italy and Germany players are in TOP form. The incredible Blazilian team are full of great players but none of them are doing that great in the Champions league and in their leagues (except Ronaldihno and Kaka)


You can cause permanent damage just by breaking it!!!  Depending on how bad and where you broke it.  There's also ligiments (sp) and tendons that could be damaged.  If you have any dreams of playing professional baseball (or using that arm on a regular basis) you should see a doctor immediatley!!


how do I make my links a color to contrast with black type material around the link ?


Will a city in Canada get a NBA team again?

I think that Canada could get an NBA Team again because of the rising popularity of basketball in Canada, with the Toronto Raptors and all that, so I believe that if Canada gets another teem again, next destination: Vancouver, British Columbia because they already had an NBA franchise, so they might move the Memphis Grizzlies back to Vancouver sometime in the future. But I'm not sure whether this can happen or not.
