Why do people who are over-weight were track-suits and jog pants?

People who are overweight find it very difficult to find clothes that fit them properly. Unfortunately we do not gain weight evenly all over the body, so buying a bigger size of regular clothes usually will not work. We gain in pockets here and there. We need clothes with elastic waists and stretchability. We have great difficulty moving, bending and stretching in clothes without give. The clothing industry really needs to address this situation and produce more suitable clothing for obese people. Statistics prove that there are more overweight people now than ever and those statistics continue to increase. I believe the clothing manufacturers do not address this problem because of their profitability and lets face it, the costs are higher in good quality oversized clothing styles.

Every case is different.\nEvery child is different.\nA child in an abusive environment even if the child is not being abused is effected.  How they grow and develop in life will be a legasy of the environment he/she grew up in.\n\nMost children 10 and older understand the idea of not getting along, as they deal with it in school\n\nBut they don't understand the commitment you made to your spouse upon making your vows.\n\nIn general, kids do better in a complete family environment even if there is a bit of disfunction.  BUt if the relationship is totally a mess, then separation is the better choice.  The kids will suffer a bit, but will resolve, and understand the situation more as they grow into their own relationships.\n\nA very difficult answer to give.  There are too many variables.\n\nI came from a broken home, and I feel it was best for our situation.  My father was a womanizer, liar, and a cheat in every regard.  I knew it already at 11, when my mom finally said enough.  I was raised by my mom, and subsequently my step dad, who was a good 'father' to me.  He let me grow up and make mistakes, and generally let me do my living.  Only if I was out of line did he step in.  So, for me the divorce was the better deal as a child.\n\nIt really depends on the age, the environment, and the social development of the children , AND they should be given ALL your consideration if you do divorce.\n\nAlso, it is important to remember the only real winner in a divorce is the attorney.   They laugh at the fighting because it puts new cars in their driveway, while it leaves you destitute.  Remember an amicable break up is of great benefit.  To you and the family as a whole.  Also, a good relationship with the person you "did" love after the divorce will help the transision for the kids.

Yes, all zeroes are equal... but you have to pay close attention when they are place holders in place values (if that's where your real question is...?).\n\nZero means you have nothing of whatever you are counting. It can be zero apples, zero dogs, zero people...\n\nIn place value, it means you have nothing for that place. For example, the number 100 means you have one hundred, zero tens, and zero ones.  The number 620,043 means you have 6 hundred-thousands, 2 ten-thousands, zero thousands, zero hundreds, 4 tens, and 3 ones. In large numbers, we are skip-counting (multiplying) by the value of each place.\n\n6 x 100,000\n2 x 10,000\n0 x 1,000\n0 x 100\n4 x 10\n3 x 1\n\nThen adding.  Do you see how zeroes allow us to count the place values for which we have nothing to put?

If bird flu mutates to a human form will it really kill up to 25% of population in uk?

There have been at least 10 influenza pandemics over the past three centuries (some just as deadly as 1918) and theoretical models have concluded that one will inevitably happen, sometime…eventually….in the future….at the some point.  There is absolutely no conclusive evidence as to when it will happen or if it will even happen in our lifetime.   \n\nRegardless if we are overdue for a major flu pandemic, this does not imply that the public should automatically “overreact” on media reports of the bird flu.  Those affected by the virus have all lived or worked in very close proximity to infected poultry. In almost all cases, domestic poultry were left to freely roam outdoors in close contact with wild aquatic birds and other wildlife.  But those in metropolitan cities are showing the greatest concern.  It is the continuous overreaction of the public which causes momentum effects in the pharmaceutical industry (and other industries for that matter).  The hype has been more about selling Tamiflu than anything else.  This is partly due to sensationalism in the media, but it's mostly due to a lack of education on effective prevention and treatment methodologies for specific diseases.  Tamiflu does absolutely nothing to cure the bird flu and never has.  It merely decreases symptoms and only under certain conditions.  Most credible scientists agree that a catastrophic pandemic such as those in the past are highly unlikely in developed countries.  This is 2006, and our methods of communication and science are light years from that time. The same technology that allows humans to travel so quickly around the globe also provides better medicine and better protection. So how in the world does anybody make the giant leap of faith that 103 deaths will translate to millions based on what we know about the H5N1 strain?    \n\nThe bird flu itself is a tragedy for the people of Asia and the livelihood of many bird handlers. Even more tragic is how an epidemic among birds has been used to orchestrate public panic and divert us from addressing other more pressing health issues. More than half a billion people suffer from malaria, nearly 10 million have tuberculosis, of which 2 million will die in the next year. Thirty million have died from HIV/AIDS and more than 40 million are infected. Yet bird flu seems to be the most pressing health concern we hear about on mainstream media.  It is a great irony that we spend more time worrying about what might be, rather than what is.  We do need to have a strong foundation for research, and there is no question that an elaborate worldwide infrastructure for epidemics must be in place before a pandemic.  I think understanding the evolutionary functions of mutating viruses is paramount in pandemic preparedness.  If the current hype helps in the building of these fundamental mechanisms, so be it.  What we DON’T need is a deceptive plot at the expense of public awareness to help inflate the stocks of a pharmaceutical company. If the current hype on Birdflu and Tamiflu is not a hoax, then I don’t know what is.


have you got any information about static var compensators in improving transient stability of power systems?

Static var compensators SVCs are shunt connected static generators and/or absorbers whose outputs are varied so as to control specific parameters of the electric power system. The term static is used to indicate that SVCs, unlike compensators, have no moving or rotating main components. Still SVC consists of static var generator SVG or absorber devices and suitable control device.\n\n\nThe basic types of reactive power control elements which makeup all or part of any static var system are:\n\n- Saturated reactor SR.\n-Thyristor-controlled reactor TCR.\n-Thyristor-switched capacitor TSC.\n-Thyristor-switched reactor TSR.\n-Thyristor-controlled transformer TCT.\n-Self or line- commutated converter SCC/LCC.\n\nThis link shows curcuit diagrams and characteristics of a TCR and a TSC.\n\nhttp://www.ece.umr.edu/links/power/Energy_Course/energy/facts/svc/r19.htm\n\n\nStatic var systems SVSs are capable of controlling individual phase voltage of the buses to which they are connected. They can therefor be used for control of negative sequence as well as positive-sequence voltage deviations.\n\nThis's another link from toshiba systems that might be of some help ...\n\nhttp://www.tic.toshiba.com.au/website/newtic/data/svc.pdf#search='SVC%20power%20control'

Preschoolers are wild, loud, messy, and fun! They learn new things every single day!


Bulbs can reproduce in two ways. One being bulb increment. That is where the bulb grows to a rather large size and then splits into one or more new BULBETTES which are fed from the MOTHER bulb. These BULBETTES then continues to grow with the MOTHER bulb forming a new plant with the ability to sustain itself (eventually). The second way in which a bulb can reproduce is by seeding. When the flowers bloom they are then cross-pollinated like any other plant and the seeds begin to form


Is it right or wrong to draft in the USA? I need help on this subject for a Essay?

When there was the draft, nobody thought anything of it - it was just a fact of male life.  People of course tried to get out of it, sure.  But most people went if drafted and some even signed up to "get it out of the way."\n\nPeople thought it was one's duty to one's country to serve in the military.  Also, they thought it "built character," and "straightened kids out," and so on.\n\nBut there were other advantages to the draft.  There was no dearth of soldiers.  And when nearly everybody had somebody in the military, going to war was not an easily taken decision and if there was a war, it sat on more people's minds and hearts.  So the country was more involved and watchful.  And the burden of fighting was not borne disproportionately by minorities and the poor.\n\nSo there are advantages to the draft, mostly for the country at large.  The disadvantages seem mostly to relate to the concerns of individuals who would have their lives interrupted.

how can we get oil companies to lower fuel costs?

Do what they successfully do in some other countries - boycot the big oil companies one at a time - if NOBODY in the US bought gas from Exxon for a specified  time you can bet your bottom dollar they'd reduce the price at the pumps!  Then go on with Chevron or whoever is the chosen one - main thing - target them one or two at a time! They don't care about the US or its citizens - they're in it for the megabucks!  And if they can't get megabucks, they'll take whatever bucks they can get!

Look around... there are so many men in the world, you don't need to try to impress the "most" of them.  You just need to impress yourself, and a man who is attracted to that is surely to come along.


A religious question i was wondering of the 15 stations of the cross?

1. Christ is condemned to death\n   2. The cross is laid upon him\n   3. His first fall\n   4. He meets His Blessed Mother\n   5. Simon of Cyrene is made to bear the cross\n   6. Christ's face is wiped by Veronica\n   7. His second fall\n   8. He meets the women of Jerusalem\n   9. His third fall\n  10. He is stripped of His garments\n  11. His crucifixion\n  12. His death on the cross\n  13. His body taken down from the cross\n  14. His body is laid in the tomb\n\nIf people include a 15th station, it is Jesus's ressurection, but I do not see it in any "official" lists.

if your perid comes 20 dayes or less how do you know when your ovulating and can you get pregnant?

As long as an egg is released then you can get pregnant.  I pitty you if your period comes every 20 days...  That sucks!!  If you want to know when you are ovulating, the predictor kits work the best.  They are like a home pregnancy test, only they look for a different horomone spike.  They can be a bit expensive though, $20 for 7 tests.  There is also a product that magnifies your spit.  There's something in your spit that changes during the time of your ovulation that you can see with a magnifying tool.  I had one, I don't remember the name of it, but it was $40 and you can use it as many times as you want.


I have a friend problem...can u help me?

a chino sleeping  in the car wat could happen to him .?

Didn't all of that discourage him?\n\nI suppose you might write something on his forehead for him to read when he wakes up like:\nMugged\nor something.  If you managed to get his cigarettes and glasses, he probably won't wake up from something like a marker writing on him either.\n\nGood luck to you.  He already seems to have more than his share of luck, if nothing terrible has happened to him yet.


my bf has a 13 yr old son and i have 2 kids that age as well but he wants to date me but never have the kids?

Well, if he keeps being that way, the relationship may eventually fizzle out.  I really think that 13 years old is old enough to understand you and your bf's relationship.  I think that it would make your relationship so much better if the kids were involved.  But at the same time, it depends on how serious y'all are and how long you've been together.  Maybe eventually he'll involve the kids.  After all, it's a package deal!!!

For commercial electricity generation what is the origin of the magnetic field that is cut by a wire.?

The magnetic field comes from the magnets that are in the generator. The magnets surround the wire coils. As the wire coils rotate, they pass by the magnets. A moving magnetic field (it's all relative, the magnetic field is still in this case) cause a current to be induced in the wire coils, thus producing electricity.\n\nI don't it has much to do with the earth's magnetic field.


There are pictures that some people claim is of Noah's arc covered by snow.  Most people who have actually studied them think that it is more likely that the object under the snow is just a rock formation.\n\nIf the world was ever really covered by a flood that large, there would be evidence in the rock layers around the world.  That evidence has never been found.\n\nIt is more likely that the story in the Bible is based on local flooding in that part of the world such as the flooding of the Black Sea, tidal waves from volcanic explosions in the Mediterranean, or river flooding on the Tigris and Euphrates.\n\nI've heard one story about the possibility of a tidal wave carrying a boat to the slopes of Mt. Ararat, but that seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

The female orgasm is a myth. Less than 1% of the women experience it occasionally.


are push ups good for building chest and arm muscles?

Yes very good for both. I recommend doing variations on them as well. Normal push-ups, wide armed, which is about 3-6 inches outside of your shoulders, narrow armed, which is with your hands almost touching in front of you. And my favourite, "Get Massives". Have your index finger and thumb of each hand touch each other forming a diamond of sorts, and do press ups. You do not need to buy any equipment to do these. You get the best workout by doing them in these various positions. You can however increase to difficulty by raising your feet off the floor approx. 6-8 inches as well, but don't do it this way all the time, as it increases the stress on your shoulders, and develops different muscle groups. Which ever you do, start slow and increase every week, and don't give up! Good Luck!

How can I cancel my Paypal account? I can't find any communication from them with a "cancel" box.

Don't fill out any email forms where they ask you to update your info.  That is probably a scam.  Go to paypal.com directly to do any type of business with paypal.  Do not even type your password in an email form or on a page that looks like paypal, but you got to through an email.  \n\nGo directly to the site, go to "My account", there is an option to "close account".  You will have to confirm your info there.  As long as you do it in this way, it should work.\n\nHope that helps.


Yep.  Makes perfect gramatical sense.  However, so does\n<Green dreams sleep furiously>  even though it doesn't make sense in any ordinary way.  \n\nIf there is any problem in your sentence,  maybe it has to do with the idea that something has <got frozen>. \nThat isn't something which happens often enough for it to trip off the tongue. \nAlso, does it mean that the program running froze/hung, or does it mean she dropped it in the icebox?  \n\nBut basically, no problem.

In what journal should I publish my work?

totally depends on what your research is about.\n\nAnd what audience you want to reach.\n\nAlso a lot of journals are peer reviewed and will only take really novel stuff.\n\nIf its cutting edge medicinal chemistry - then maybe j. med chem.\n\nif its totally dazzling science of any type then nature or science\n\nif its materials chemistry then either j. mat. chem. or chem. mater\n\nif its inorganic chemistry then maybe angewandte chemie or inorg. chem or dalton or .....\n\netc.......\n\nthere are so many journals and it really depends a lot on the novelty (i.e. if its different or unusual or just plain undiscovered). If you're only reporting on a slight modification of something done by someone else then it can be hard to publish in a "cutting edge" journal and there area whole host of "lower tier" journals but I'm not going to list them and annoy any specific publisher.\n\nif in doubt ask a colleague where you work or a supervisor/lecturer

eight important events that occured in Harry Houdini?

There's a great timeline of Harry Houdini's life at this link:\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/houdini/timeline/\n\nYou can just pick and choose which events you'd like to include.\n\nEDIT:  How do you like this one?\n1900 "The King of Handcuffs" sets sail for England, hoping to meet with as much success in Europe as he had enjoyed over the last year in America. He would spend the bulk of the next five years overseas, becoming a truly international star. \nIn September, Houdini is stripped naked before three hundred German policemen in Berlin and escapes in six minutes. The consummate publicist, he was soon advertising himself as "the only artist in the history of Europe to whom the German police have given the Imperial certificates." \n\n\nI don't know which is more amazing--being called the King of Handcuffs or being naked in front of 300 German policemen.\n\nWhat in the world did Houdini have nightmares about?  His daytime life was pretty horrifying!\n\nIt's like magic!

According to science, our sun will become a supernova....?

Solar energy was popular in the last oil crisis in the 70's.  But then over time, gas got cheap and cars burned leaner and then we became complacent.  Solar energy became a political thing, and it lost popularity.  \n\nSocieties do not change unless they are forced to adjust to changing economic climates.  I think people in this country will start seeking that change as heating bills stays over 600 a month and gas sells for over 5 bucks a gallon.  Then you'll see real change...

How does a busy high school teacher conduct her personal organisation?

A teacher's work is never done! \nThe best way to get organised is to put some systems in place.  This takes a bit of time to start with but subsequently only times, dates and names need to be changed.\nNo teacher starts with a blank sheet, don't be shy about asking your colleagues how they cope with certain tasks.  You will find that they are very willing and proud to share their tips with you.\nThe more organised you are the better teacher you will be.\nTry to do most of your school work at school, staying later or arriving earlier if need be and using every spare minute in the day so you can separate your school life from your home life (this will make you happier!).\nYour question is a little bit vague. Can you break it down into more specific areas?\nStart by organising your classroom so you have everything to hand and file or organise your resources in some sort of system so you can find what you need quickly.  You can do this  by alphabetical order or topic or numbers.  It's a big help to make use of colour labels/pictures/numbers for different things.\nDo the same for curriculum matters, exam papers, tests,etc\nOrganise your mark book so that you have a record of everything you need to know.  This need not be written down necessarily.  Example, if a pupil hands his homework late, circle the mark in green ink.  At a glance you will be able to see how many times this has happened.  Come parents' evening you can let them know this fact and/or write it in his school report. Devise other notations to tell you other things but keep it simple and keep a key to remind you what they mean.\nI hope that's been of some help and don't worry,everything eventually falls into place.\nGood luck\nMartine


Chris all the way! by the way.. thanks for the comment earlier!


Who will be winner of the 2006 World Cup in Germany?

Brazil is too strong, this is probably the strongest team Brazil has fielded in a long time, I don't see any weaknesses.  Kaka, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Adriano are just too much for defences to handle!  However whenever Brazil is the favourite they always find a way to beat themselves, they did so in 1982, 1998, and 1950.\n\nIf Brazil doesn't win it, then look for the Netherlands to take it, they are overdue to win a world cup and have a very solid team. I would like to see a team from Africa win, but I don't think that will happen this time, maybe in 2010.


Stuck in a relationship with a married man. How do I quit him??

Out of respect for his baby and his wife... leave him alone. You will always be number 3. He is using you and betraying you. How could you allow someone to treat you like that?


Are there gonna be anymore Star Trek movies?

From what I have heard it isn't very likely that there will be another movie from The Next Generation Crew. There are currently talks about doing a Voyager movie, but it may be hard to fit into the overall Voyager timeline. \n\nOne possibility is to do a movie with the current Enterprise series, but that will only take place after the series has been completed. So it may be awhile before we have any other Star Trek movies.

Does the US Gov. believe in family unity?

No it isn't true.\n\nIt takes a LONG time to become a legal citizen and like typical governments, it takes longer to process additional paperwork.  If you are sure your spouse is filed, then just wait it out.  If you have questions if he did file for you to join him, contact the American Embassy and see if they can give you a phone number to see what the hold up is.\n\nI hope you get to come here soon, start your new life with your husband and I wish you all the best here!!\n\nTHANK YOU for coming to America legally :)  God Bless!


What in your opinion defines a Gothic band? Do you think that Lacuna Coil can be included in this definition?

I don't think Lacuna Coil is Gothic, I think it's a heavy metal band with a Gothic leaning.  Defining Gothic music is hard, since there many categories.  There are ethereal bands like Unto Ashes, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, and Faith & Disease (all on the Projekt label, I belive), and Qntal, which consist of slow-tempo melodies, often using Latin or other non-English lyrics.  There are the gothic industrial bands like Skinny Puppy, Razed in Black, and Andriod Lust which are loud, computer genered, and sometimes verge on heavy metal like Lacuna Coil.  There's the goth rock bands like Cruxshadows, Switchblade Symphony, and Faith & the Muse which are like normal rock, but better and with lyrics that reflect the gothic mindset.  And of course there's the 80's goth classic bands like Siouxsie, Bauhaus, and Sisters of Mercy.\n\nMy problem with including Lacuna Coil in the list is because of 1) thier lyrics and 2) they're popularity.  Their (at least of the dozen or so songs I've heard from them) lyrics are angry, not introspective or social commentanry like much of gothic music.  Most gothic music, even industrial bands like Skinny Puppy have something to say which is fundamentally different than what most musicans have to say.  It comes from the gothic mindset, which accepts both good and evil, and is not resentful for the presence of pain and death in the world.  Goths will sing about the pain of hearthbreak, but they will include that it is a necessary evil.  As for the popularity of Lacuna Coil, I don't mean how many fan they have, but the fact that they are appealing to a wide audience.  Any band that has been on the Ozzfest circuit is not goth.  Their appeal is to a wide range of fans, while most gothic music only appeals to goths and a few others.  I am not trying to put Lacuna Coil down, I think they're very good for what they are, but they're not a gothic band.  I hope that helps you understand my view.


Where can I watch soccer games, on FoxSoccer Channel, in Atlantic City, NJ?

Search for team supporter clubs - they usually have a bar or pub where they meet to watch games - double bonus of watching the games and meeting fellow supporters.

what exactly is the whole da vinci code thing about?

Its about the theory that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene & their blood line still exists protected by a secret society called Priority of Sion. \n\nThough this is the main theme od Da Vinci Code, there are also many controversial facts such as Jesus was a mortal just like any of us, the church has been putting down the role of women in the society & many such things.\n\nIts worth a read, very intresting.

my ipod nano suddenly stpo working with no reason what shoud i do?

i've unfortunately just gone through the same thing, so this may be what you're experiencing too...  about a year, i bought a new 20g ipod.  about a month ago, it just stopped working.  wouldn't hold a charge, wouldn't even turn on, etc.  i was told by a representative at apple, that ipod batteries only have so many charge cycles.\n\nlong story short, ipods last about a year..  nothing can really be done about that yet.  theres good news for you if you bought a warranty.  most places will allow for cash or product exchange, such as Circuit City's City Advantage program, or the standard 2-year warranty from Best Buy.  Apple, however, since they know about the problem, have managed to exclude battery problems from their factory warranty.  So if you dont have a warranty, you'll probably have to pay for a repair or just buy a new one (with a new warranty)..\n\nthat is, of course, if it's a battery problem.  my first step would be to take to a repair shop and see if they can determine the problem, and then take it from there.  hope this was helpful!

I'm from the USA, my husband is iranian & wants us to visit his mom in Iran for a month. Is it safe if I go?

Sweety if you aren't asking your husband this question then there is a big trust issue.  I would suggest contacting a US government agency esp. as there may be restrictions right now.\n\nQuestion to ask yourself - why doesn't he want to bring his Mom here?  Is she too frail?\n\nFollow your gut on this - and if you do decide to go, remember that a woman's place there is very different from in the US and you will be expected to follow local conventions or shame your husband.\n\nOne thing you didn't say is if your husband is Muslim - I think that would effect how he feels about it and his expectations of you.\n\nNo matter how kind or loving your husband is, now is not a really good time for US/Iranian relations so if you go precautions will be necessary for you and your husband.  \n\nYou sound newly married and if that is the case it would be natural for him to want you to meet his family and see where he grew up.  But only you know your relationship.  Did it happen too fast?  Does it seem too good to be true? Has he majorly changed how he treats you since you got married?  Those would all be warning signs.\n\nNo warnings sign there?  Then go for it, but take the State Department precautions as someone else reccomended - it would be the smart thing to do.

It depends on what is causing your memory problems.\n\nIf it is boredom, distractibility, or lack of interest in the subject, then the suggestions above are wonderful.\n\nIf you, like me, have a learning disability involving memory, then you have something else to do...\n\nFirst of all, if you have a true memory disability...what part of your memory is messed up? A) Is it that you can remember details but have trouble recalling the overall meaning? B) Or is it that you get the overall meaning but have trouble with the details? If you have trouble with overall meaning, list the details you remember on your own time and look for what they share. Make notes about it.\n\nIf your working memory/digit span (the immediate stuff you're working with) is not good (details recall, especially), then you need to repeat, repeat, repeat information in different ways until you have stored it into long-term memory. I survive spoken conversations be always focusing on the overall subject; but I can't repeat back details from it to save my life! Try making the information fit into fewer but bigger groups (such as memorizing a phone number as 555 - 48 - 84, which is three numbers, rather than as all seven numbers). For stuff you don't need to have in your head, always carry around paper and pencil. I have a couple of different notebooks and a calendar planner.  Then you only need to remember that you should be checking your notebook(s) every couple hours for reminders.\n\nIf your short-term memory (over several days) is poor, then you also need to store vital information in long-term memory, and on paper. You absolutely cannot "cram" for an exam. Do all your textbook outlining, etc. at the beginning of the semester, ask the professor/teacher if there are any pre-written class notes you can review ahead of time to be ready for the lectures, etc. \n\nIf your long-term memory is poor (stuff that stays in your head forever for most people), then you have to make sure anything you want to remember for later is on paper. If you have a test, do "cram" sessions. \n\nSome people with memory LD also carry around a pocket tape recorder.

How can one successfully take care of a sick spouse without losing their "cool"?

With compassion, this is your chance to be their hero...step up to the plate and supprise everyone with the extra effort, all are noticing about how your handling this circumstance...if for no other reason, because its your duty as their spouse...you need to get what ever it is out of your mind that would allow you to lose your cool, because its preventing you from doing whats right.  If you can't do it yourself then hire someone to do it for you...but make sure their taken care of...one day the shoe will be on the other foot...and what goes around will come around.


When monks take a vow of silence, can they still say "excuse me" when they burp? Seems kinda rude not to...

Didn't you know that monks have special powers.  They don't even have to piss or crap.  They don't fart or anything.  I wish I had those powers.  The monks you're talking about, "the burping kind" are of a lower order, not really "monks"...more like "monk lites".\n\nBurping is rude?


Should we always try logic to find the truth?

I believe there is logic in everything and everything is created in a logical manner.  Though we may not at once see the logic behind anything, we may at some point discover the rationale behind an event. Yes we can always arrive at the truth through logic.

Since this is in a golf category, I'd go for a non hooker. Let me tell a golf story: "A golf addicted marry to a prostitute."\nThe man said to his wife: "Confession time, I am a golf addicted." His wife said: "I have a confession, too, dear, I am a Hooker."\nThe man said: "Never mind, you aim a little bit to the right and open your legs a little more, then you'll be fine!"


What is meant by the girl or boy next door?

I think that when most people use that term they mean the person is just normal and down to earth. They're someone you could meet anywhere and you probably know someone like them now. Something to that effect anyway.


Taking antidepressants, How should I tell my prospect employer?before during or after interview? they'll know

It's actually none of their business what you're taking.  Antidepressants don't show up on drug screens because they're not looking for them.  I've never had a problem with it.  And it's illegal for them to ask about it.  Just don't mention it and it won't be an issue.  And it's discrimination agains those with mental health disorders to not hire you just because you're taking antidepressants.\nGood luck on your interview!\n-Duo

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed ?

Honestly, if you try to put on mascara and consciously keep your mouth closed, you can do it, it just takes effort. But, if you think about it, opening your mouth helps stretch your face, right?  Which in turn opens your eyes a little farther, making it easier to get to the lashes with a mascara brush.  Just a thought.


Do sweatbands in basketball really work?

My friend used to wear one full time because he sweats like a pig just playing ping pong! He wears one on each arm plus a headband all day all the time. He actually looks good in them too.

If you have been celibate for over 2 years, what is the best way to enjoy your wedding night  without pain!?

What pain??  I mean if I was celibate for that long all I would know is pleasure, pleasure, pleasure baby!  An experienced man will know how to get you ready for a wonderful nite.  Don't worry about it - but I might suggest you discuss the foreplay if the subject comes up before hand.  That is if you can handle that kind of conversation before your wedding nite;)\n\nIf you want to be sure tho pack some KY for lube, we use it often now that I am pre-meno.  It's great for getting things going.\n\nHave fun and congratulations on your nuptials and waiting to make it some much more special.  The best we did was wait one week.  It was nice but not as special I'm sure as what your nite will be.  Have a great one!


With all the Tornado's in America, does the Bush Administration ignore them too for Global Warming?

The Bush administration's air pollution proposal, which it has misleadingly dubbed its "Clear Skies Initiative," was introduced in Congress on Thursday, February 27. NRDC and 14 other environmental groups jointly released the following backgrounder, which shows that the administration's proposal would undermine the Clean Air Act. Back to the Bush Administration's Air Pollution Policies Index\n\nThe Bush administration's air pollution plan would weaken the public health protections of the current Clean Air Act. It would threaten public health and help big polluters by delaying and diluting cuts in power plants' sulfur, nitrogen and mercury pollution compared to timely enforcement of current law. It would roll back the current law's public health safeguards protecting local air quality, curbing pollution from upwind states, and restoring visibility in our national parks. Finally, it also would do nothing to curb power plants' growing emissions of carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming.


Why is it that sometimes when you look at the sun or a bright light it makes you sneeze ?

Photic sneeze reflex (also whimsically called ACHOO, a backronym for Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst) is a medical condition by which people exposed to bright light sneeze. It has been suggested that the photic sneeze reflex occurs only after someone has been adapted to the dark for at least five minutes, although this is not certain, and is not uniform amongst people with the photic sneeze reflex. The photic sneeze reflex can also cause one to sneeze many times consecutively. The condition occurs in 17% to 25% of humans with more common occurrence in Caucasians than other human races. The condition is passed along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait.\n\nThe first mention of the phenomenon is probably in the later work attributed to Aristotle (Problems, book XXXIII).\n\nThe probable cause is a congenital malfunction in nerve signals in the trigeminal nerve nucleus. The fifth cranial nerve, called the trigeminal nerve, is apparently responsible for sneezes. Research suggests that some people have an association between this nerve and the nerve that transmits visual impulses to the brain. Overstimulation of the optic nerve triggers the trigeminal nerve, and this causes the photic sneeze reflex. Another theory suggests that tears leaking into the nose through the nasolacrimal duct are a cause of the photic sneeze reflex. The speed of the reflex seems to favour the first theory, as it happens much too quickly for tears to be generated and drain into the nose. In addition this sneeze reflex can be brought on by a sudden inhailing of cold air or a strong flavor such as a strong mint gum. This implies an overstimulation of any nerve close to the trigeminal nerve can cause the sneeze reflex.

Why does an ice-cube, pressed down on a pile of salt on your arm/skin, cause a white, burn-like mark?

it's frostbite. the water melting off the ice cube is because salt lowers the freezing point and so the water on your skin is very cold <32 so it freezes the skin. kinda like making ice cream except more painfull


where can i get some knowledge about project management?

I recommend Project Management for Dummies for novice project managers, and Kernzer's Systems Approach to PM for more advanced readers. \n\nAdditionally you might want to review PMI's PMBOK for best practice information - it's not really a how-to book though.\n\nConsider joining a PM professional organization such as PMI or IPMA. I think PMI also has some scholarships that you might also apply for - probably through the PMI Education Foundation.

Wouldn't unnaturalist be a better word for religious folk who believe in the supernatural, god's, pixies,etc?

Ermm wouldn't it be supernaturalist?  That they believe in an outside force 'super' to nature that creates & defines events in space/time.

Brights constitute 60% of American scientists, and a stunning 93% of those scientists good enough to be elected to the elite National Academy of Sciences (equivalent to Fellows of the Royal Society) are brights. Look on the bright side: though at present they can't admit it and get elected, the US Congress must be full of closet brights. As with gays, the more brights come out, the easier it will be for yet more brights to do so.

Italy have been World Cup champions 3 times, in 1934 on home soil, in 1938 in France, and finally in 1982 in Spain, beating Germany 3-1 in the final.\n\nThey also famously lost the 1994 World Cup on penalty kicks to Brazil, with star striker Roberto Baggio ballooning one of the penalties.


have you ever wiped your butt and your finger slipped off the toilet paper and got doo doo on your finger?

You know, you bring up an interesting point.\n\nWhen you are at home, you can just turn on the sink next to you and clean off your hand.\n\nHowever, this scenario is especially inconvenient when you are in a stall somewhere else. What do you do then? You can pseudo-clean up by getting most of it off with another sheet of toilet paper, but your hand still has crap and germs on it. Then you have to pull up your pants with your clean hand and try to button and zipper up. This is not easy, and most people probably give up and use both hands to get their pants up. So then you've gotten crap on your pants and shirt and have to go back to the office.\n\nIn this world of computers and fancy cars that give you directions, why are we still rolling toilet paper in a ball to wipe our @$$es, and we can't even see what we're doing?\nI don't get that. Don't the Japanese have robot toilets that scrub and clean your @$$? Why can't we get that here in the US?

No he had nothing to do with it. Remember the part when Jack's parents tell Ennis about Jack coming visit the farm with other guy. It means they were actually involved in some kind of relationship. I think somebody else, from town, must have murdered him ... due to the fact that more and more people were starting to realize about Jack's sexual orientation. i.e. When he hits on the rodeo clown buying him a beer.

Why is Frequency Modulation(FM) used more than Amplitude Modulation (AM) in radio frequency transmission?

Modulation is the process by which voice, music, and other "intelligence" is added to the radio waves produced by a transmitter. The different methods of modulating a radio signal are called modes. An unmodulated radio signal is known as a carrier. When you hear "dead air" between songs or announcements on a radio station, you're "hearing" the carrier. While a carrier contains no intelligence, you can tell it is being transmitted because of the way it quiets the background noise on your radio.\n\nHere is a summary of different modes of modulation:\nFrequency Modulation (FM)\nIn Continuous Wave (CW), AM, and Single Sideband (SSB), the carrier of the signal will not change in a normally operating transmitter. However, it is possible to modulate a signal by changing its frequency in accordance with a modulating signal. This is the idea behind frequency modulation (FM). \n\nThe unmodulated frequency of a FM signal is called its center frequency. When a modulating signal is applied, the FM transmitter's frequency will swing above and below the center frequency according to the modulating signal. The amount of "swing" in the transmitter's frequency in any direction above or below the center frequency is called its deviation. The total frequency space occupied by a FM signal is twice its deviation. \n\nAs you might suspect, FM signals occupy a great deal of frequency space. The deviation of a FM broadcast station is 75 kHz, for a total frequency space of 150 kHz. Most other users of FM (police and fire departments, business radio services, etc.) use a deviation of 5 kHz, for a total frequency space occupied of 10 kHz. For these reasons, FM is mainly used on frequency above 30 MHz, where adequate frequency space is available. This is why most scanner radios can only receive FM signals, since most signals found above 30 MHz are FM.\n\nThe big advantage of FM is its audio quality and immunity to noise. Most forms of static and electrical noise are naturally AM, and a FM receiver will not respond to AM signals. FM receivers also exhibit a characteristic known as the capture effect. If two or more FM signals are on the same frequency, the FM receiver will respond to the strongest of the signals and ignore the rest. The audio quality of a FM signal increases as its deviation increases, which is why FM broadcast stations use such large deviation. The main disadvantage of FM is the amount of frequency space a signal requires.\n\nAmplitude Modulation (AM)\nIn amplitude modulation, the strength (amplitude) of the carrier from a transmitter is varied according to how a modulating signal varies. \n\nWhen you speak into the microphone of an AM transmitter, the microphone converts your voice into a varying voltage. This voltage is amplified and then used to vary the strength of the transmitter's output. Amplitude modulation adds power to the carrier, with the amount added depending on the strength of the modulating voltage. Amplitude modulation results in three separate frequencies being transmitted: the original carrier frequency, a lower sideband (LSB) below the carrier frequency, and an upper sideband (USB) above the carrier frequency. The sidebands are "mirror images" of each other and contain the same intelligence. When an AM signal is received, these frequencies are combined to produce the sounds you hear.\n\nEach sideband occupies as much frequency space as the highest audio frequency being transmitted. If the highest audio frequency being transmitted is 5 kHz, then the total frequency space occupied by an AM signal will be 10 kHz (the carrier occupies negligible frequency space).\n\nAM has the advantages of being easy to produce in a transmitter and AM receivers are simple in design. Its main disadvantage is its inefficiency. About two-thirds of an AM signal's power is concentrated in the carrier, which contains no intelligence. One-third of the power is in the sidebands


Where can I find Software that Digitize Designs from jpeg & BTM to Embroidery format lik .PES,I need one Thx?

BTM files: these don't appear to be Graphic Files but rather Batch Files. I could be wrong since rarely but sometimes file extensions are used in more than one type of application. I assume that you mean BMP files. If not, please see my note at the bottom about BTM files.\n\nYou need to use a graphics program to convert your Graphic files to BMP or JPG files that most Embroidery Digitizing Programs can understand. Plus, you will need to have very clean clipart if you are looking for autodigitizing capabilities. So, you will need to use a Graphics program to clean up your clipart, such as MS Paint. If budget allows, Corel Draw or Corel PaintShop are worth looking into. If you will manually digitize, you won't need to have as clean clipart as if you autodigitize.\n\nSome embroidery packages to look at ($500 plus) are VSM Group autodigitizng, their VP3 packages (Husqvarna & Pfaff versions), Bernina has Bernina Plus ver 4 (has an autodigitizer in the Plus version), Janome has packages, Brother has packages available to name a few. Other packages are Origins, Corel, Generations that are all high end but suited for home use. Most packages I've mentioned will export to both HUS and PES formats and others as well.\n\nFor a better price, without autodigitizng features, you can get a 30 day trial version of Embird http://www.embird.com/ that has a digitizing module that you can also try for 30 days. Great Notions has an autodiigitizng program that is less than the $500, around $200 or so, that will autodigitize clean clipart. It is called Click n Stitch, it probably doesn't allow one to do any manual editing so it is for home use only. \n\nIf you plan to be selling designs, you want to go with the higher end softwares that has manuall digitizing as well as autodigitiizng,so that you can you can manually digitize & fix the auto-digitized designs. Having the option to do Manual digitizing is very important if you plan to be selling your designs. Some packages will link to your embroidery machine so that you can quickly test your designs. Usually they are packages from the same company that makes your machine.\n\nPlease feal free to ask me other questions and I'll try to answer them for you. \n\nAre you asking about BMP files? I am not familiar with BTM files. You need to use a graphics program to convert your Graphic files to ones that Embroidery Digitizing Programs can understand, usually most digitizing programs will work with BMP file some also with JPG and a few with WMFs & some with other formats.\n\nYou will need to have very clean clipart if you are looking for autodigitizing capabilities. If you will manually digitize, you won't need to have as clean clipart as if you autodigitize.\n\nThere are many packages that are available for home use as well as professional use, usually they are expensive but not as expensive as ones for Commercial machines.\n\nSome brands to look at ($500 plus) are VSM Group autodigitizng, their VP3 packages (Husqvarna & Pfaff versions), Bernina has Bernina Plus ver 4 (has an autodigitizer in the Plus version), Janome has packages, Brother has packages available to name a few. You will digitize the artwoork and save it in the Embroidery Digitizing Native format and you will then be able to convert that Native Format to one that your home machine can read. Most packages I've mentioned will export to both HUS and PES formats and others as well. Other packages are Origins, Corel, Generations that are all high end but suited for home use. \n\nFor a better price, without autodigitizng features, you can get a 30 day trial version of Embird http://www.embird.com/ that has a digitizing module that you can also try for 30 days.

what is the name of the athlete who invented the double click long jump and where is he from?

By double click do you mean the hitch kick??

I think the hitch kick just evovled, it is adopted and modified by every male jumper and selected females (however they tend to employ the hang technique).

first hitler was not jewish (there are rumors that his grandmother was). Hitler was born in 1889 as a fourth child to a succesfull Austrian customs officer. at the age of fouteen his father died and at the same time he droped out of school. Four years late hitler left for Vienna. IN Vienne Hitler soaked up exterme german antionalism which was strong in vienna (even though it was in austria). these extremeists strongly believed in a uninon with the germans and a violent expolusion of the "infrior" races. Hitler was impressed wit the maoyr of Vienna and his anti liberlism and anti capitalism. From Lueger and other hitler obsorbedmuhc anti-semitism, racism and hatred for the slavs.  He wanted to destroy the jews because of his distorted view of Social Darwinsim (survival of the fitest) believing that with the destruction of the infirior races he insures the survival of the german race. \nANother reason for his hatred were his anti capitalist and anti liberalism views. He cliamed that the hews directed an international conspiracy of finance cpitalism and MArxian Socialism against German colture, german unity, and German race. \nwhen Germany lost World War I, heartbroken, he cliamed that the jews had stabed Germany in the back. He promised to fight back...the Allies and the jews. \nHitler believed in the "aryan race" which was a german supriority of the rest of the world. He believed that the jews, the slavs and many other, would impure the german race. \n\nwriters note: i am a jew, and orthodox one.

is it normal to get period twice in a month?its been going on for 2 months now.is it normal at the age of 21?

It's usually caused by change in hormone levels in your body. I went through it when I was 23, and it lasted 7 months. I was having my period every two weeks. I did see a dr. and was told that it's normal. Not all women go through it, but some do. If you're really worried or concerned, see your gyno, and he/she can help you find out what's going on with your body.

Why is it in America they call futbol soccer and football football?

The word "soccer" is a colloquial abbreviation of association (from assoc.) and first appeared in the 1880s. The word is sometimes credited to Charles Wreford Brown, an Oxford University student said to have been fond of shortened forms such as brekkers for breakfast and rugger for rugby football. In the late 19th century the word soccer tended to be used only at public schools; most people knew the game simply as football.\n\nFootball is more commonly known as soccer in certain English-speaking nations where the word "football" refers to a rival code of football developed within that nation, specifically Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United States, and also in areas where Rugby football is more popular than association football, such as Australia, New Zealand and the white communities of South Africa. In these countries "football" was often included in the names of the earliest leagues and governing bodies of the sport, but as that word became increasingly associated with other domestic forms of the game, soccer became more widely used.\n\nFootball, in its modern form, was exported by Britons to much of the rest of the world and many of these nations adopted this common English term for the sport into their own language. This was usually done in one of two ways: either by directly importing the word itself, or by translating its constituent parts, foot and ball. Most Romance languages use the word football, albeit with a different pronunciation and occasionally a different spelling: the (Spanish fútbol, Portuguese: futebol, and the French, le football is often shortened to le foot. \n\nIn Germanic languages (other than English), the term is usually translated (for example, German: Fußball, Norwegian: fotball, Swedish: fotboll, Danish: fodbold and the Dutch: voetbal. \n\nIn Italy, football is called calcio, from calciare meaning to kick.\n\nAnd Kick-Off, Field Goal and Punt are all terms to describe American Football whereby a player uses his foot to make the ball go in a certain direction.  So, American Football is played with the feet but it is played with the feet about as much as world football/futbol is played with the hands via the goal keeper or other players on a throw-in.  My question would be why is it termed football (in the rest of the world) when the goalie can use his hands all the time (provided he is in the 18 yard box) and other players use their hands to make a throw in?  It is a mixture of both hands and feet as well as your head, chest, thigh etc.  In my opinion soccer/football should be called "body ball" taking in the total amount of your body that actually touches the ball, unlike rugby and american football...just a thought.

Why doesnt inertia hold a person down in a space ship?

These answers are correct, in that inertia is only present during acceleration.   This is why countless designs to create gravity-like conditions on spacecraft don't work, because they try basing them on acceleration, which will not work when objects inside the craft appose each other in any way...IE, a person moves.  Now to get to what humans are confused about.  Gravity is not a force at all, but simply the consequence of the local slope of the universe, in a direction the human eye cannot see: time.  You stick to the floor not because gravity is pulling you down, but because that is the shortest distance between today and tomorrow.  In the mid 1950s, the Manhattan project had has its goals to crack the anti-gravity mystery.  Many publications were abundant during the early 50's.  By 1957, it completely stopped.  The Kinemassic Force field generator is probably the most known and only accepted anti-gravity generator ever created by humans.  This design has been arrived at by several scientists in the last 10 years.  When charged, the generator creates a gravitational field that is non-magnetic based.  Uses include artificial gravity, and propulsion.  This methodology is likely the future of space travel, and also disproves the Newtonian view of gravity in the universe.

My brother needs to know the approximate cost of an above the knee amputation and cost for care and prosthesis

Believe it or not location matters. Hospital and doctor costs vary , mostly because of malpractice insurance. The prosthetics don't usually vary. But they dint happen right away until after the amputation is healed.\n\nIf you are close to a state border or a large city, the prices  may be cheaper ...yes you can shop around for elective surgery..if he is elligible for medicaid then they would help, since he has no insurance and would be disabled.

Besides Mexico 86, what other World Cup has Maradona won?

guys, can't u read? Maradona and Argentina won the FIFA Youth World Cup in 1979 in Japan. A World Cup is a World Cup. The centerforward in that team was Ramon Díaz, who played in Italy for many years (Fiorentina and/or Inter, I think). \n\nAnd about the hand of God. Why is everyone so focused in that, when minutes after that Maradona scored arguably the best goal in the history of soccer? That's what so great about Maradona: he beats you fairly AND unfairly, just to piss you off. I didn't hear any complaints about Italy kicking the crap out of everyone in 1982.\n\nAnd in 1994, Maradona was in top shape and Argentina was the best team, by far. Anyone who did drugs know that ephedrine or cocaine will NOT help you play soccer. (Correction: he didn't play in 1978: Menotti took him out of the final list at the last minute, but took him to Japan a year later)\n\nSo all you British out there, stop being cry babies. After all, you stole the World Cup in 66, but we true fans of the game won't take any glory away from great legends like Charlton and Bobby Moore.

Why don't small towns,invent other ways to meet single people.?

what is the largest city nearest to you, go there...the night life in larger cities is much better since they're so culturally diverse. If you want your small town to offer more...simply go to the city council, and petition for something cool that singles can do without driving to a big city. Cite the fact that the town needs something to attract singles, and the general public to local businesses.


I need to know how to set out a criteria letter for a job.Can anyone help?

If your talking about a CV this is quite a long piece of work and you will need to get examples and make sure that someone proof reads it for you - coz it needs to be word perfect. One book I used to create what I now call my golden CV it's called the "Job application handbook" by Judith Johnstone.\n\nWhether you are talking about a CV or a cover letter for your CV both need to be succinct and have your personal details at the top. It is also important to have your full contact details such as your home phone and mobile number email address and your home address at the front. It is important to give them as many ways as possible to contact you. The book I used have examples of both and the do's and do'nts of writing them. \n\nHope this helps. Good luck!

how do you get from O'Fallon to St.Charles boy Britain Way?


I see we are perfect match except sometimes. Why so?

One thing that seems to be lacking, by what you have said, is communication.  I really think that you need to sit down and talk about her spending habits and how much of your income is being used by her.  I would also ask about her 'interfering' with your clothing.  It may be that she just wants you to look your best.  Believe it or not, women often have a much better sense of style and are able to see what makes a man look his best.  I don't know if this is the situation, but sometimes a woman spends so much money shopping to punish their husband.  If you have cheated on her in the past, it may be one possible answer.  If you have done something in your past to really hurt her, that is another reason she may punish you or if you spend too much time at work or with friends or activities...that is another possible reason.  If discussing it in a sincere and not hostile, judgmental or malicious way doesn't work, you may need to seek counseling.  I hope this helps a bit and good luck!
