I don't mean to be rude, but none of the above answers are quite right, and some are actually quite wrong. 0/0 is not undefined, 0/0 is not always infinity, 0/0 never means "nothing" (in fact, it is used quite frequently in calculus), and although there is no general way to define 0/0, it most certainly can be defined given enough information in a problem.\n\nNormlparker had it closest, when discussing the nature of division. In other words, 10/2 means take 10 things and divide them into 2 equal groups; when you do, each of those groups will contain 5 things, so 10/2=5. Dividing by 0 doesn't conceptually make sense. You can't take 10 things and divide them into no groups. That answer is UNDEFINED. (Captial letters for vocabulary emphasis, not because I am yelling.)\n\nNow dividing 0 by 0 is a different issue, because you can surely take no things and make them into no groups. However, what's the size of those nonexistent groups? It's not infinity, nor is it undefined, as some previous posters have said. Dividing 0 by 0 is an INDETERMINATE value, and it's exactly as you said--it could equal just about anything.\n\nTake for instance the fraction (x^2+2x-3)/(x-1). If you plug x=1 into the fraction, you get 0/0, but the function is definitely not infinity when you get close to x=1. If you factor the numerator, the fraction becomes [(x+3)(x-1)]/(x-1). Cancel those common factors and you get x+3. In other words, this fraction (although undefined at x=1) gets very close to x+3=1+3=4. In this case, 0/0 is basically 4.\n\nTo be specific, a non-zero number divided by 0 approaches infinity (or negative infinity), but 0/0 can approach lots of things. However, ANYTHING divided by 0 is not a real number. \n\nWhen you took your equation (0)(0)=0 and divided both sides by one of the 0s on the left side, you actually violated a mathematical principle. Sure you can divide both sides of an equation by any number, as long as you are certain that number is not 0.\n\nSome of the most famous mathematical fallacies are based upon divideng by 0 in a sneaky way. You can prove lots of untrue things (such as 1=2) if you do that, and it's actually kind of fun. I used to do that once a year in my geometry classes to "prove" to my students all math was worthless, and as soon as they got excited, I showed them how I fooled them. They usually didn't care so much, but nerds like me think that kind of stuff is hilarious.\n\nHere are some other indeterminate values that can equal anything: (0)(infinity), 1^(infinity), (infinity)/(infinity).


gosip/rumors at wotk what u will do. take it or leave it??

Depends on whether they are gossiping about others or about you. If it is about you, confront them the gossipers. If it is about others, be polite but turn a deaf ear. If it is about the company, coming layoffs, a merger etc. pay attention and consider how it might affect you.


It's like a game of bocce ball. On pebbled Ice. Curling is played by "ends" like "innings" in baseball. \n\nThere are 10 ends. In each end only 1 team can score points. The team with the rock closest to the button is awarded one point for each of its own rocks that is closer than the opponent's closest rock. If you happen to have multiple stones closer to the "button" than any of your opponents stones inside the "house" those are added to your score. Each team throws 8 stones per end. A maximium of 8 points is possible per end. If both teams are outside the house, no points are awarded in that end. The "sweeping" is to smooth the surface out to allow the stone to move farther and move straighter. It's better explained at the link I have provided but I wanted to give my own interpretation.

How do you tell your guy best friend that you love him? even though we have different beliefs?

Tell him you love him, respect your differences and don't try to change his beliefs to match your own.  And be prepared to lose your best guy friend, because once you become lovers it is very difficult to salvage the friendship if the relationship doesn't work out. Remaining friends after being lovers happens sometimes, but not often.


Should I tell my boss to stop calling me hun & darlin'?

Yes- ask him what do you think OTHERS would think if they heard this. You need to try harder to keep this a professional setting - for BOTH of us. I don't want anyone to get any funny ideas about us, thanks. (hun...) LOL\n\nNo- everything but the hun should be said to this man. Especially if he apologized but then never changed his actions!

As there are eggs in pastas, will my cholesterol rate increase when I eat some ?

Good question.  Your cholesterol rate shouldn't increase with moderate consumption.  If you are concerned, no-yolk egg noodles are widely available in your local grocery store, and they taste just the same.  Just like with popcorn, the worst part about pasta is what you put on it...so choose healthy options when you make or buy a sauce.  I like just extra virgin olive oil and fresh garlic, with some dried herbs thrown in.


how do u describe yourself to an interviewer?

Thick Skinned is a good power word for interviews. Nobody wants to hire a baby. Future oriented is also powerful. Avoid lame statements like, I'm a hardworker, or I'm a people person, or I'm reliable. Everybody says that. It is not original. Be original.


only if you're willing to take it seriously. A lot of people go into philosophy and only get a brief overview before casting a whole lot of judgement on it. They are appalled that philosophic thinking embraces questioning axioms. If you don't want to change the way you frame information, then don't study philosophy. If you want to learn how to analyze and understand things and frame and re-frame, study philosophy


Anyone know what kind (breed) of dog Pluto - (the Disney character) is?  Just curious...?

blood hound\n\nMickey's faithful pet dog Pluto starred in 48 of his own cartoons, but also appeared along with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in many of their cartoons. Pluto was created as an actual dog character, with no speaking voice, as opposed to Goofy, who was created as a human character. The dog who would eventually evolve into Pluto made his debut as a bloodhound in the Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Chain Gang" in 1930. Later that year he appeared as Minnie Mouse's dog, Rover, in "The Picnic," and the following year finally became Mickey's dog Pluto in "The Moose Hunt." Favorite sayings: "Grrr ..." "Snort!" "Sniff, sniff, sniff ..." "Bark! Bark!"

Probably doesn't make a lot of difference.  Whichever job you choose, the important thing is your performance.  Show up on time for every scheduled shift.  Learn everything you can.  Be flexible and be willing to do whatever needs to be done.  Ask for more responsibility and do your best to meet your employers expectations.  Your employer will be paying you for your time, give them your undivided attention.  Keep a positive attitude toward your job, your employer, and your co-workers.\n\nYour rewards will be many.  Perhaps the most important will be the feeling of self satisfaction of knowing that you given your best.  Your employer is likely to reward you with raises, promotions, and other incentives.  Good employees are very hard to find and your employer will want to keep you.  Many employers today offer help with college tuition in order to keep good employees.  Something to think about.  \n\nIf you are satisfied that you have performed well, and it becomes time to move on, ask your employer or boss for a letter of reference.  A letter of reference can be a very valuable addition to your resume.\n\nGood luck with your job of choice.


The word "bipolar" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric and pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "bipolar" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSymptoms that psychiatry labels as "bipolar" (or it's related disorders), can stem from any number of variable sources. Many people, for example, have overcome "bipolar" through megavitamin therapy and effective nutrition. A growing wealth of evidence supports that underlying nutritional deficiencies can cause even the most severe mental disorders, including symptoms labelled as "schizophrenia" [See source refs]\n\nBottom line? Psychiatry is a belief-system, a "faith", not a science. Despite the huge marketing strategies, the so-called "research" and all the propaganda thrown at the world, there is not one iota of scientific evidence that proves that "schizophrenia" or ANY mental illness, in fact, exists as an actual --medical disease--.\n\nIf you have been told differently then know this: You have been lied to.\n\nFor more information, please visit:\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda\n\nFor information on non-drug / alternative approaches:\n- http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/default.htm#B\n- http://www.pendulum.org/articles/articles_misc_lisaalt.html\n- http://www.truehope.com/_empowerplus/empowerplus.asp\n- http://www.mentalhealthproject.com/content.asp?id_Content=1575

Why would a parent let their young kids on a site like this?

I totally completely agree with you. a few minutes after i got on the site, i was amazed at the questions being asked. i was like, "this is unbelievable." lots of them were very inappropriate. lots of them were also needing-help questions. like homework, friends and family, but their should be a limit to all this. \ni like to answer appropriate questions, and ask them too. but i stay away from and ignore inappropriate ones. if my mom were to see all the stuff on this website, she would seriously flip and ban me from this site. \n\npersonally, i believe there should be separate yahoo answers: adult, teenage, 9-14-year-olds, and 7-8-year-olds. \nfor your little one, the 8 year old, i suggest you to block this site in case she has seen it, and tell her about the dangers of being on this site.\n\nanyway, i completely agree with you, and sometimes i know parents can be over-protective, but they are mostly right.\nletting children explore the internet and it's useful resources is one thing, and going on sites that you may accidentally give out information about yourself to strangers is another. completely.\n\ngood luck!\n(you are one of the most caring moms i have heard from. :) ---i'm glad you brought upn this topic so people can see your point of view and others about this site)

Who captured Ticonderoga with a band of men known as the Green Mountain Boys?

Ethan Allen (yes, just like the furniture stores).\n\nFrom the Virtual Vermont website:\n"At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) he led the expedition that captured Fort Ticonderoga in the first colonial victory of the war (notwithstanding the fact that he and the Boys basically knocked on the door, walked in and took over). He would soon thereafter attempt a badly planned, badly executed assault on Montreal which would result in his being imprisoned by the British and thus removed from further participation in the Revolution.\n"

While still a teenager, he left Kentucky and moved north to Cincinnati, Ohio in search of opportunity.


Is it possible to have a relationship despite long distances?

i do believe it CAN make the love grow. But only if you have a future plan of getting together, meanig yuo know you ar egoing to be seperated for a certain amount of time. I was with my boyfriend(now husband) together for 3 years when he had to go to afghanistan for 1 year. during this time we saw each other every four months for two weeks. since all we had in between those visits were telephone calls and letters/e-mail we had to verbally express our feeling and thoughts that you would otherwise excpress by kisses hugs, looks and so on...... it took our relationship to a whole other level and we are now happily married. oh and before he went down there we both didn't really want to get married but him being gone made us realize that we want each other in our lives forever. SO it can work but you have to work on the relationship even harder!!!

how many soldiers are buried in the tomb of the unknown?

Which country?\n\nThe U.S. tomb has one from World War I.  He is entombed, not buried.  There are two other bodes buried in auxilliary graves from World War II and Korea.\n\nThe Vietnam representative was exhumed after DNA testing proved his identity.  With the advent of DNA technology it is unlikely that we will ever put another soldier in an auxilliary tomb.\n\nFrance has one World War I soldier buried in it's grave under the Arc de Triomphe.  The grave features an eternal flame.\n\nBrittain has a World War I soldier buried in Westminster Abbey.

Would you consider Nascar racing a sport?

Yes.  Sports don't cease to be sports just b/c they aren't played on a grass field.  It is more of an individual sport, similar to tennis and golf in that respect.  In fact, some argue none of those are "sports" b/c they don't involve teams.  [except ryder cups, doubles, etc...]


what are the chances of making it to the nba if you started playing basketball in the 6th grade?

Hmmm... mind you, this is not a scientific calculation, but since the US population is 298,201,327, even if we assume that 20% of the population is under 20, that leaves 59,640,265. Then, let's assume that 1 percent of those people are even capable of playing ball, you have 596,403 candidates. Then assume 1 percent of that population plays ball well: 5,964. Then, assuming 30 NBA teams with a roster of 15 players per team: 450 players.\n\n450 roster spots for 60 million Americans... you can see that the chances are slim.\n\nBut, if you start in the 6th grade (or earlier), you have a better chance than someone who waits until they're in their teens.\n\nStill, it's better odds than someone has of making it to NASCAR Cup racing...


If I drop SBC DSL, I assume I can point the old SBCglobal email to my yahoo email? or from aol?

if you merge your sbc global.net e-mail address with your yahoo.com when you register it, you can retrieve that same e-mail after 6 months- for the yahoo account to float but if you did not merge it, during registration, after you disconnect sbc dsl, you will have access to the it for 2 months, for some users, longer than 2 months and once your sbcglobal.net e-mail will be removed from system, you will have a trap page the next time you will try to access it- it will change your e-mail from domain sbcglobal.net to a yahoo.com// if you had xyz@sbcglobal.net it will be changed to xyz@yahoo.com

what should i say to an employer who lead me to believe i had the job???

You're correct: you were used.  If you have proof that you were actually hired, you can probably sue for wrongful discharge. Firing because "another girl came back" isn't acceptable cause for dismissal.\n\nThe definition of wrongful discharge is: When an employee is fired for reasons that are not legitimate, typically either because they are unlawful or because they violate the terms of an employment contract. The contract can be either expressed or implied.\n\nIf you have a case, what you can recover may not be worth the effort, but a free consultation with a lawyer only costs you an hour of your time.

I assume you are asking how to make a report based on a questionnaire you have conducted. Here we go:\n(it should be scientific if it is social science)\nAim: To determine (blah)\nMethod: List how many people you surveyed, the no. of questions, whether they were qualitative or quantitative etc.\nResults: get some charts and statistics happening.\nAnalysis: Misinterpret the result to make an amazing discovery.\nConclusion: You are the greatest social researcher in all history.

Free software to lock folders?? Any ideas?? Please help!?

If you don't want to lock everyone out of Windows (as the above suggestes) then check out FineCrypt 9.1 (freeware), http://www.download.com/FineCrypt/3000-2092_4-10494456.html?tag=lst-6-6 it is an encryption tool to encrypt and password protect files/folders.  It's better than the tools Windows offers.  It has a limitation that it can only work with five files at a time.

Exactly! Why the hell was Jackson at Iderdex? And why was there still a guard left at Iderdex (the one that ran after Laura), shouldn't he have evacuated already? AND-- why weren't there any "Mama-Nims" swarming around in the water by the church? If there's one, there should be more.

"Dress for the job that you want, not for the job that you have."


I do not believe that Aflac is too highly priced in comparison to the universe of stocks. The company has consistent growth and is selling at about a PE of 16 times 2006 earnings estimate and a PEG ratio near 1.0.  Another point to consider is that Aflac's main market is Japan which is beginning to see a turnaround.  And of course it does not hurt your diversification to invest in a company with interests outside of the USA. \n\nIf however, you were already heavily invested in insurance stocks such as PRU, etc. it would perhaps be wise to look elsewhere. \n\nYou could do a whole lot worse than Aflac.


why do we use discrete wavelet transform?

Two reasons:\n1. Because it results in a finite spectrum result for a signal. Fourier Transform typically results in infinite spectrum result for a function (e.g if the function has C1 or C0 discontinuities e.g. square wave, triangular wave, ramp, sawtooth)\n\n2. FT assumes that signals are "stationary" and that their frequency-domain can be computed over infinite-time window and will not change. This is unrealistic - most real-world signals are not stationary in a window >10ms (e.g. speech, telecomms, EKG). WT computes its transform based on both a time- and frequency-window.\n\nAs to why you compute DWT rather than the direct Continuous (integral formulation) WT, it's for the same simple reason you generally use DFT instead of CFT - because it's mathematically tractable and lends itself to efficient digital computation (order(NlogN) time); also this formulation can be very efficiently parallelised whether in hardware or software esp. if N is a power of 2 e.g. 64,256,512,1024,... and people have developed these implementations very far (they're a standard toolbox feature or hardware IP).\n\nI don't know the theoretical links offhand but they should be trivial to find.

First Step: Know which Field you want to get into (You probably have this step down). If not then go to a career assessment center/workshop and find out what careers are good for you and your lifestyle.\n\nSecond Step: Have a strong and yet truthful resume. There are plenty of self-help books available on this topic. Depending on work experience should not be more than 2 pages long maximum (1 page is usually preferred). Make sure your resume is tailored to fit the job you are applying for. Have a cover letter to go with it.\n\nStep 3: Presentation is very important whether it be your resume or your personality (especially at interview time). \n\nStep 4: To really get that job.....the following keywords are very important..'Networking' with the right people. Doing 'research' on potential companies and basically being in the know of what will be expected of you.\n\nStep 5: Apply for jobs online through company websites and also through job websites like monster.com etc, in person at job-fairs, word-of-mouth among friends and relatives, university career centers, local and national classifieds in newspapers, and last but certainly not the least through Recruiters/Headhunters.\n\nIf I have to sum it up in a sentence. You want to be very convincing to your future employer that YOU are the person they have been looking for. I hope this information helps. Wish you the best.

Why would God want to make it blatantly obvious that He exists?

That is an interesting question dannythegr8, and you got me thinking.\n\nLet's start here...\nEphesians 2:8\nFor by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.\n\nJesus told the parable of the mustard seed, though it is the smallest of all seeds, if you have that much faith, you could move a mountain. So really, faith can be just a speck, but God will honor it. If you have zero faith, you will not pray at all. If you have a speck of faith, you can pray like the man who's son was possessed.\n\nMark 9:24\nImmediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”\n\nAnd God will meet you where you are at.


Most major distros of Linux will take care of partitioning and create a dual-boot automatically.  Download your distro and burn to CDs. Defrag your hard drive in Windows.  Shutdown.  Set your BIOS to boot from CD.  Boot from CD1.  Linux will suggest a partitioning.  Accept it or modify it to suit your needs.  Then, just answer a few prompts and insert the rest of the CDs when asked.  Couldn't be easier.

Which software can convert mp3 to HP iPAQ ringtones? Please help !?

HP Ipaq can only use WAV. files as its ringtones. It plays MP3, but cannot use it as a ringtone.\n\nSo, you must convert the MP3 file to WAV before HP Ipaq can recognise it as a ringtone. Most audio player softwares can do this, for example Musicmatch.\n\nYou have to note, though, that WAV uses larger bytes, thus creating bigger file. So you might want to keep the ringtone short.

keep in mind that she has your best interest in mind when she says no to your requests.  \nI think it is awesome that you realize it is a problem and that you want to change.  It shows you care about her and want to have a good relationship with her.  \nMaybe you could try making a list of all the good things she has done for you in the past week, and then make a list of all the good things you have done for her in the past week.  \nIf your list is shorter maybe you should go make her a cup of hot chocolate and tell her you are sorry.\nThis may sound weird, but she is, after all your mom and knows an awful lot about you, why don't you ask her why she thinks it is that you yell at her..  and tell her you want to get along.\nIts never easy to apologize, but doing so will show her you are growing up, and possibly you will earn some privileges by doing so.

Where does the money come from on a business write off..is it from profit?

A business write-off describes expenses to run the business, for instance, in my business I use a cell phone.  I write off the total costs of the cell phone and the service fees.  Basically, the write off is the amount it cost me to earn money.. I take the money I earn, minus my expenses, to determine profit (or loss).  I pay taxes on the profit only (after all expenses have been subtracted.)  I hope this helps you.  So, a write-off is money you did not earn, but paid out instead.


how can i find out if the stamp i have on my possion is of any value?

Look for it in eBay auctions and see what is being bid for it. If it is a common issue, it may not be offered as a single item. Most stamp and coins that have more value because of rarity are usually offered as single items and could be found easily. \n\nYou could also go to a stamp and coin dealer and ask if they could appraise it. Look for "Mystic Stamp Company" (URL: http://www.mysticstamp.com/) There are several links there including one that says "Selling Your Stamps? GO!" They are located in Camden NY and have been in the stamp business for a very long time and are highly reputable and might be able to help if you can't find anything with eBay. BTW you spelt possession wrong, or is your stamp really on your possion (which I haven't a clue what it could be)?

What are differences between the concepts of energy management and energy planning?

energy management is handling the current situation as is best as possible. For example in iraq the energy management is to have bagdad with power for 3-5 hours a day in each area.\n\nenergy planning is to consider what the future holds and how to get ready for it. For example in bagdad that means they need more power generators on the grid so people can have power for more than 5 hours a day.

what is the difference between a triple toe loop jump and a triple flip jump in figure skating?

The difference is the just the last part of the combo---the toe loop and flip....\n\n:flip: \nthis is a toe-assisted jump from the left back inside edge and right toe pick. Like the salchow, the usual entrance is a three turn, but usually from a straight-line approach instead of a curved one. (This jump is sometimes called a "toe salchow" in Europe.)\nThe flip and toe loop look much alike and even experienced observers sometimes have trouble distinguishing them. Here are some things that may help: \n\nFor the flip, the skater picks with the same foot they land on, while with the toe loop they pick with the opposite foot. \nFor the flip, the skater picks inside the curve of the jump, while with the toe loop they pick outside the curve. \nFor the flip, the skater turns away from the picking foot as they jump, while with the toe loop the skater jumps towards the picking foot. \n\n:toe loop :\nthe approach is on a right back outside edge. The skater then reaches back with the left foot and jabs the toe pick into the ice to provide assistance for the jump at takeoff. Often done as the second jump of a combination, or as a solo jump after an inside three turn. If the jump is approached from an outside three turn and step instead, it's sometimes called a "toe walley"; technically the toe walley is supposed to be done from an inside edge, but otherwise the two jumps are considered equivalent. (The toe loop is the same jump that roller skaters call the "mapes", and that is called a "cherry flip" in some parts of the world.) \n:loop: \nthis is also an edge jump, with takeoff from a right back outside edge. Usually skaters approach this jump by skating backwards on two feet, with the left foot crossed in front of the right. Often they look like they are sitting in an invisible chair. Unlike the salchow, there's no swinging of the free leg into the jump; the skater simply springs upward in a cross-legged position. (In Europe, this is also known as a Rittberger jump, after its inventor Werner Rittberger.)

Are birth certificates public information?

The answer to your question is yes, and no.\n\nYes, birth certificates are public records. They are used by demographers, researchers, and others.\n\nHowever, you are not likely to obtain a copy of a birth certificate without a need. For example, in the State of California, unless you are the individual, an immediate family member or a select class of other authorized persons, you cannot obtain a copy of a birth certificate.\n\nBirth certificates are technically pieces of identification. As a result, they are somewhat protected.\n\nHowever, a clever social engineer can steal your vital records. In fact, you may have even been the person that gave them that first piece of vital information - a job application, a phone call from your "bank", etc. All the social engineer has to do is get one piece of innocuous information and all of a sudden they can pretend to be you, and get volumes of data on you.\n\nI really recommend you read a book called "The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick. You can get it on his website, http://www.kevinmitnick.com/. It's written for business but it really opens your eyes on how someone can easilly steal your personal data without you knowing it.


what is the future of distance education ?

Interesting that this is an essay question for a few scholarships I know of....but actually distance education is expanding faster now than ever before.

They are the first in the country to provide distance education to such a HUGE area and number of people. They have been quite successful and are now called AlaskaOne, a PBS network.


What is the GMAT score you consider good enough to be acccepted at a regular MBA Program?

That depends on what you consider to be regular.  Some "regular" fully accredited business schools will accept you if you have a pulse and money.


Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

Landslides tumble onto the beach, especially after a storm. See sources below


solution use for skin testing? intradermal ? is sterile water can be used? wat if my skin  swell and hs rednes

The doctor has various substances to test you with.  The potential allergens are in solution so they can be injected intradermally using a very fine needle, one that hardly hurts at all.  The whole thing is sterile, not just the water.\n\nIf a particular allergen triggers a reaction, there can be redness and swelling.  Do not miss your appointment for reading the tests.\n\nSometimes they do a large number of items with a kind of 'scraping' test rather than needles.  Typical for 'food panel.'\n\nI have very severe allergy.  The first ragweed pollen test caused my leg to swell up like a watermelon and I ran a 104.4 fever that night.  The other tests in the vicinity could not be read.\n\nThat is what you call a REAL positive reaction.  Most all other allergy sufferers will not have that severe.\n\nYou cannot do this yourself, you need to get this testing at the Allergy doctor's place.

Ex-hus gave me herpes. Do I tell new guy immediately or wait to see if feelings develop-rejection either way?

I always told guys "too soon" (atleast my friends told me that). If I had the slightest sexual attraction and thought there was a chance we could end up in bed... Still, I was met with very little rejection. Usually it came out no later the second or third date when we got to the "sharing life stories" part of the dinner conversation :-). I would be like "... ya, last year my boyfriend was dishonest... I'm on Valtrex because he gave me herpes. Valtrex prevents outbreaks and spread...I always use condoms anyway". \nAfter the first year, it became more difficult to tell guys so soon because I was simply used to living with it and, even having been rejected very few times and talked about it alot, it is still stressful to tell a new potential partner!\nI'm currently in a serious relationship, but if I were dating now, I would probably wait longer until things got serious.\nAlso, during the first year of having it, I was in the southern part of the midwest- where people just talk more and tell their life stories more. Out here in a "big city" on the coast-- the culture isn't so narrative and people are different as far as what they tell and when.\nI would do what's comfortable for you and what feels right in the moment with the other person. \nDefinitely tell them before sleeping with them; If they caught it from having sex with you and were NOT informed, then you could be held legally liable (I lost the specific legal references, but there are cases of people being sued for giving their partners herpes).


Do you think "all men are created equal" applies to Gay people getting married?

Absolutely. I'm married and am hetero. And I think ANYONE (with certain AGE exclusions of course) should be able to marry ANYONE else. What is the freakin problem with that? Are people afraid that gay couples are going to multiply and spread their "disease" across America? That's total crap.\n\nNOBODY can come up with a rational, intelligent reason why gays should not be allowed to marry, Most people's sorry-arse theories include something like, "Well if gays can marry...WHAT NEXT, cats and Pygmies? The abolishment of polygamy laws???"\n\nLive and let live, America! Stop being so spineless and narrow-minded.

How did we get Dumb & Dumber as our President & Vice President?

Don't think about it too much or you'll drive yourself crazy. I've just accepted it and look forward to 2008. But to answer your question...\n\nWe got "Dumb and Dumber" because they appealed to the two most powerful groups in America... the rich and the religious. Give tax breaks and support the large corporations and that way you get all the campaign money you'll ever need and powerful people to support you. Then to get the necessary votes, make a big fuss about gay marriage so the religious right comes out to vote for you (but then after getting elected don't mention the issue again). It's amazingly frustrating.


can you get chlamydia without having sex?

Chlamydia was discovered in the late 1970s and is neither a typical bacteria nor a virus. It is very small in size, like a virus, and has some characteristics of bacteria but can't manufacture its own energy the way bacteria or viruses can. Instead, it acts like a parasite, entering cells and using their energy. It is caused by an organism known as Chlamydia trachomatis, but it is not always easy to detect. Ten percent of the time, people who have chlamydia will test negative for it.\n\nChlamydia is one of the most common STDs in North America. In the sexually active eighteen to thirty crowd, 50 percent have chlamydia. Chlamydia is particularly nasty because it is asymptomatic. In one year, about 4.5 million women in North America will be infected with chlamydia, and 60 percent of them will not have any symptoms. The disease can do a lot of damage, though. Some experts estimate that chlamydia causes 50 percent of all pelvic infections and 25 percent of all tubal pregnancies due to scarring of the fallopian tubes. It can also cause urethral infections, cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix), and PID, which can lead to infertility or complications during pregnancy or birth.\n\nIn men, chlamydia can cause nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Nongonococcal means the infection is not caused by gonorrhea; urethritis means inflammation of the urethra. If a man with NGU has sex with a healthy woman, she will probably get chlamydia. Finally, chlamydia can also cause proctitis, which is inflammation of the rectum.\n\nThe symptoms of early-stage chlamydia are usually nonexistent for four out of five women. The most common symptom, if any, is increased or abnormal vaginal discharge, which usually develops about fourteen days after infection. Sometimes a strong, rather foul vaginal odor develops as well. Painful urination, unusual vaginal bleeding, bleeding after sex, and low abdominal pain may also be signs, and the cervix may become inflamed (noticeable when you are examined by a doctor). If your cervix bleeds easily after a Pap smear, this is also a major clue. If chlamydia spreads to your uterus and fallopian tubes, it will have progressed to PID, and you may develop some of the symptoms discussed below.\n\nOne way to find out whether you have chlamydia is to ask your partner whether he has symptoms of NGU. Painful urination or urethral discharge that appear one to three weeks after infection are telltale signs. About 10 percent of the time, men show no symptoms of chlamydia either. Chlamydia can now be detected in men through a simple urine test. The best thing you can do if you're sexually active is to be regularly screened for chlamydia by your family doctor. The test is 90 percent accurate. The screening is simple: Your doctor takes a culture swab of cervical mucus. It can be done in conjunction with a Pap test. How regularly should you be swabbed? Every time you have a new partner. If you test negative but still suspect it, request antibiotic treatment for it anyway. Even if you are treated for nonexistent chlamydia, the treatment is relatively harmless to you, other than the mild side effects of antibiotics discussed below.\n\nNGU can also be caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum (T-Mycoplasma), another STD. Some practitioners feel that this can also cause PID in women. However, culturing for ureaplasma is very difficult. If your doctor suspects it, it's easier for him or her to just treat it and not bother culturing.\n\nThe good news about chlamydia is that it is extremely easy to treat: Tetracycline will cure both chlamydia and ureaplasma infections. The drug usually prescribed is called doxycycline (Vibramycin), a derivative of tetracycline (Achromycin and many other brands). Two doxycycline capsules per day for ten days will do the trick. Tetracycline is cheaper and must be taken four times a day, but many people forget to take that many pills; that's why the doxycycline is better. If you're pregnant or cannot be o

How much are the elements on the periodic table worth or what would they cost?

hi there, i have a great webpage for you.\n\nthis guy built a "periodic table table" - a big table in his garage made out of wood, and a storage space underneath each element in the table that can be opened up.  inside the box he has stored various samples of that element.  all of this information is online, and includes pictures and information including the price he paid for each one.  it's great.\n\nhere's the site:\nhttp://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/\n\nscroll down a bit and click somewhere on the wooden table to see what he has for that element.\n\nEDIT:  i guess i should add, a lot of his samples are listed as "donated" but usually include a link to whatever supplier donated them, and i think you could probably follow the link to find out the cost. \n\nmore info here: \nhttp://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/HowToGetOne.html\n\ncheers!


How valuable do you think a Carnell "Cadillac" Williams rookie card is right now?

I would say its worth very little at this point.  The card is only from this past season, so it is still in high volume and not a collectors item yet.  Additionally, Williams hasn't set himself as a player that people will want to spend money on a rookie card for.  It's going to be some time before it's worth much more than the paper it's printed on.

I would have to say "Yes"\n\nAnd one question I pose to you is what belief do you have or what 'religion' do you take part in?\n\nI believe in God, Angels, the Devil, and Demons...\n\nOne thing to realize though is that God is the highest of all authorities, and the hierarchy of this would be\n\n1. God\n2. Angels / Satan (because he was actually a fallen angel that wanted to be a god himself and with him he took 1/3 of heaven's angels with him to 'Hell')\n3. then demons, which are in essence fallen angels under the rule of Satan himself.\n\nThe most important thing is to believe that God really does have control and He gives us as humans the free will and choice to decide what we will do.\n\nI hope this helps in some way.


This is a pretty tough question to answer cause, u know, beauty is a relative thing, meaning that what I see as beautiful, others may see it ugly or just dislike..\nBeauty, in my point of view, is what you feel about yourself..beauty lies within, in other words..when you feel good about yourself, you'll consequently feel that you're beautiful and that gives its spark and reflect upon other people who subsequently feel this beauty, not just see it..\nI think that even if a person is not that beautiful (if beauty is already defined or will ever be), if that person feel self-satisfied, other people's views won't be that important cause one will always find someone who'll like his/her kind of beauty even if it's just a beauty of the soul....

You have bacterial vaginosis and douching will only make it worse!! Unless you douche with boric acid that is the only kind of douche that ould help. Stay away from perfumes of any kind down there.\n\nIf you can spare $5 or so go get a bottle of acidopholus... take it twice a day for a week. Then once a day for another week. Try to always keep a bottle of it around. If you are noticing that it is coming back, then your sex partner could be a carrier and he needs to be treated as well. I am not sure that acidopholus would work for him. He may need antibiotics. \n\nYou may notice that it is worse after a tub bath avoid these as much as possible. Nobody really knows what causes it but your vagina is supposed to be an acidic environment when you have BV it turns into a high alkaline environment which is what causes the smell.\n\nMy ex husband was a carrier, he even kept giving it to his ex wife before me. He is an alcholic and also chews not sure if that was the reason but even after he took the antibiotics he was still giving it to me anyway...who knows I am fine now but i still have to avoid tub baths and when I do take one I make sure to take an acidopholus


Have you recently been abducted by an alien life form?

This question gets met with another question: Why would an alien life form want to abduct anyone in the first place? I think the only thing keeping them away is this planet's lack of overall integrity and moral standards. They are probably more afraid we would abduct or harm them so they decide to stay away.

If you were president of the united states what would you do to stop the flow of illegal drugs?

I'd decriminalize drugs and would put FDA in charge of regulating them. With the money from taxing drugs and the budget for DEA which will not be needed anymore, I'd fund research and educational programs to study the effect of drugs and to educate the users free of charge. Anyone who wants to OD or is too ignorant to use the drug without taking advantage of the educational resources then let them!\nDrug dealers will then switch to the next illegal thing to smuggle. I don’t know what would that be.


well, it means the person who works in the library. Library comes from the Latin word for BOOK, and so the librarIAN, would be one who knows his or her way around those books.  Sorry that's not a very technical explanation, but somebody else will probably give you one of those.


Why is the United States so behind in Math and Science compared to other countries?

These are my opinions on the matter (based on some experience):\n\n1. We don't PAY teachers well enough to attract qualified science and math majors into the field. If you could earn $50,000 to $100,000 per year right out of college as an engineer or scientist, why would you choose to take a government job with heavy bureaucracy that pays $25,000 to $35,000 per year and may take you ten years to reach the starting pay of other professionals? It takes a certain devotion to be willing to take that kind of pay cut just to be a teacher and most people are not willing. Some school districts are starting to outsource teachers from other countries. Even more frustrating to new teachers, many school districts will lay them off every year, and then rehire them as soon as the budget is approved. This encourages teachers to find better jobs. \n\n2. Education majors are not required to take enough math and science to really make them fluent in the subjects. I believe that in some cases the lack of difficult classes like math and science even appeals to education majors.  I am sure there are many well qualified education majors out there, but I do think that many do not like math and science. \n\n3. Many parents don't understand math and science. If kids don't see parents having an interest in the subject, they are unlikely to find it interesting themselves. They also will be hard-pressed to find help outside of school with these subjects if parents are not at least familiar with them. \n\n4. There is a large group of parents who actively oppose science and math in schools because they think it conflicts with their religious beliefs. This doesn't help their kids, because they come to school with closed minds and refuse to learn critical thinking skills.\n\n5. We also don't give teachers the respect they are given in other countries. In many countries teachers, even at grade school level, are referred to as Professors. Here they seem to be considered as tax burdens, instead of being treated like the essential resource that they are. Parents spend way too much time arguing with teachers instead of respecting their educational authority. If not for teachers who would have a job?  \n\nJust my 2 cents.


i have been told that the military isnt responsible for what the recruiter says, so the recruiter could lie!!!

First yes the recruiter can lie and no the military isn't responsible for what the recruiter says UNLESS it is written in your enlistment contract, then and only then the military has to uphold it.  \n\nSecond most of the time a recruiter is not going to say this or that will happen unless it is going to be in your contract.  \n\nThird you should read the contract before you sign it. The basic thing to remember is if you want something GET IT IN WRITTING. If it isn't in writting it wont happen.


You wrote it wrongly, I think? It should be " Je suis aimée" (Three words.)\nIt is of course French, and it means "I am loved" said by a female. It should be "Je suis aimé" if said by a male.

Why Muslims don't condemn the threats of Islamists to kill the danish cartoonists?

To answer your original question, it is because Islam will NOT hold their fellow Muslims accountable for their actions.\n\nWhen asked of a Muslim, why doesn’t the Islamic majority in the United Nation condemn the thousands of terrorist acts perpetrated by those of your faith? The answer comes back, “We cannot judge our Muslim brothers. Only Allah can judge them.” Yet when it comes to judging the infidel, there are no holds barred. Now, let us contrast this attitude with what the Bible teaches.\n\n1 Corinthians 5:11-13\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges.\n\nThis is the polar opposite to Islam. The Bible teaches that the Christian is to judge the actions of other Christians and call them on the carpet if they are doing ANYTHING unbiblical. However, those who are NOT believers, the Christian is to leave alone, that only GOD will judge them.\n\nSo there is the contrast. If Islam was really concerned about peace, and was a peaceful religion, they would do something to stop these violent people. But don't hold your breath.

How do you trough a curve ball in baseball.?

1.   Hide the ball in your glove.  \n  \n2.   Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball.  \n  \n3.   Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. (Image 1)  \n  \n4.   Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. (Image 2)  \n  \n5.   Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. (Image 3)  \n  \n6.   Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. (Image 4)  \n  \n7.   Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. (Image 5)  \n  \n8.   Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up.  \n  \n9.   Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.


We can’t grow another toe because our body plan is set  genetically before we are born. The body grows according to that plan, not according to what the owner wants. The plan says we get 10 toes, so we get 10 toes.\nWe can no more grow another toe than grow taller simply because we want to. Growth is determined by the genetic plan. You can’t change it.

Typhoid fever is an infectious feverish disease with severe symptoms in the digestive system in the second phase of the illness. \n\nClassic typhoid fever is a serious disease. It can be life-threatening, but antibiotics are an effective treatment. The disease lasts several weeks and convalescence takes some time. \n\nThe disease is transmitted from human to human via food or drinking water, and it is therefore mainly hygiene and sanitary conditions that determine its spread. It is primarily for this reason that it is no longer so commonly seen in Europe.\n\nComplications\n\nIntestinal perforation or profuse bleeding from the intestinal mucosa may occur if typhoid fever is left untreated.\n\nSource(s):http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/travel/diseases/typhoid.htm

Do you mean esophageal sphincter? If you do, it's a ring of muscle between your esophagus (tube where swallowed food goes down) and your stomach. It keeps partly digested food and acid in your stomach where it belongs instead of coming back up your esophagus. Sometimes it doesn't work properly and this causes heartburn.

If I take my cat to the southern hemisphere will it grow in his winter coat in summer and shed it in winter?

No, animals grow hair in response to temperature and daylength. They don't watch the calendar and decide that it;s time to grow a winter coat. Day length shortens and temperatures fall in Autumn in the southern hemisphere just as it does in the North. The names humans give to the months dont; alter those things.\n\n>>>>In the southern hemisphere Jan.-March are summer and\n>>>> July-Sept. are winter.\n\nMore commonly Dec-Feb are summer and Jun-Aug are winter.\n\n\n>>>>It can't be the temperature if he's an indoor cat and it's 70 degrees year round. \n\nIt can be if the temperature fluctuates at all between seasons. Animals usually respond to temperature changes, not to specific temperatures. Unless your house is heated to a constant 70 all winter and cooled to a constant 70 all summer, 24 hours a day, the cat could easily detect the differences.

In politics (and other things)-What is Left Wing - Right Wing - Center?

Thing of political views as a strait line. To the most left is Communism. To the most right is Nazi-ism. A left wing is a democrat and leans more towards Communist views (all people are equal, the government takes care of everyone). The right wing is Republicans and they lean more towards Nazi-ism (strong, powerful government, the people care for themselves). \n\nIf you numbered the line 1-100, 1 being Communism and 100 being Nazi-ism, a Democrat would most likely be around a 45-49. A Republican would be around 51-55. \n\nSome Democrats would be lower numbers. Like Hillary Clinton or John Kerry would be around 35-40. Some republicans, like Rush Limbaugh, would be arounf a 60-65. \n\nI hope this helps.

However, below is the general weighting of the factors that go into a credit score calculation:\n\n35% - An individual’s history of making credit payments on time\n\n30% - The total amount of debt being carried along with available credit\n\n15% - The age of an individual’s open credit lines (more history is better) \n\n10% - The frequency with which someone applies for new credit\n\n10% - Wild card factors such as the types of credit lines

Any time you want to start; be sure you know the local licensing requirements. Then be sure to contact your agent about Bonding and Liabilty insurance.

Are there other books in the BIBLE that should be included in today's version of the BIBLE?

I'm glad you asked this question.\n\nThere are several "apocryphal" books. Apocryphal is the word used that means basically "books that aren't concidered divinely inspired". These books were not excepted as scripture for two main reasons.\n1) As far as Old Testament books are concerned, books like "The Book of Enoch," "The Assumption of Moses" and "Odes of Soloman" amongst others, were never excepted even in Jesus' time by the Jews.\n2) In the New Testament, Jesus never refers to them in His teachings.\n\nI have read these books and you really have to take them with a grain of salt. There fantastic stories, but you cannot take them as you would what's in the Bible. I know that in the book of Jude he refers to a couple of them. But you need to realize that these "apocryphal" books do have truths in them, but they cannot be excepted as truth as a whole. Does that make sence? Jude was just pointing out a universal "absolute" truth that was mentioned in one of them.\n\nNow, beware, there are many New Testament "apocryphal" books too. "The Gospel of Thomas", "The Gospel of Mary Magdaline" and many others that are considered "gnostic" gospels. They were written decades after the supposed time the book itself says it was written. Besides that, they don't line up with what IS canonical. You really have to read the introductions the translaters make before you deside to read them.\n\nI do, however, have a recommendation. It is truly safe and helpful to read the writting of the "Early Church Father". This includes saints like Justin Martyr, Ignatious of Antioch, 1 Clement, 2 Clememt, (my favorite) Polycarp, all of these men were the disciples of the disciples and they have really alot of encouraging and helpful things to say about how church was when it was still a baby. \n\nThere is so much more that I would like to relay on this subject but I'm afraid that I'm taking to much of your time.  There is one other thing, for a good, easy reading book on the subject that will answer all of your questions I recommend a book called, "How we got the Bible" by Neil Lightfoot. You can find it at any Christian bookstore, and many secular bookstores too.


From what it sounds like, you are either insecure with your relationship and your position in his life, or you, deep down, want out of the relationship, so you ask questions that will in effect cause him to break things off, so you don't have to.

a bulb with resistance of 6 ohms works in a flashlight with two AA batteries how much current does bulb draw?

Use ohm's law (I=E/R); 2 AAs are 2.4 to ~3 volts depending on battery type, so 0.4 to 0.5 A.\nHOWEVER, if you measured the bulb's resistance cold, it will be higher when hot, so it will draw less current.


progress in 21st century will be equivalent to 20,000 yrs of progress at today's rate,true or false?

Balderdash and bilgewater, and bullspit. You still will need humans to implement it, and we are still slow and lazy.\n\nHave you noticed we have been in the 21st century 5 years already? Have you noticed how much more progressive we are today than 6 years ago? Or have we been slowing down? We have even tired of a military engagement after 3 years. Our focus is getting shorter, and it is still US that must use the new "progress".

Which Commandant of the Marine corps said this?


I've always gone for the sincere approach (rather than pushy)when trying to build on-going business and with bigger ticket items.  For sincere, put yourself in the other person's place: they may want to talk, but are busy, ask; good manners pay.  Start by offering them something of interest, something that will help them (a little known/interesting fact about their industry).  Ask if they are the right person, perhaps they'd rather you talk to a subordinate who's in charge of the group that would be interested in your service.  There's a very old book that is still very applicable for reps by Dale Carnagie, "How to Win Friends and Influence People".  (He means business friends, but it works elsewhere).


Please tell me if you agree with the president saying illegal immigrants work jobs americans dont want.?

Hiring illegal immigrants is a cheap & easy way for businesses to get the help they need.  The illegals and the businesses both are taking jobs away from Americans.  If the jobs wern't available to those that cross the borders, they might think twice about risking their lives for nothing.
