Is there a small instrument (cell-phone size) that can identify the key someone is singing in?

Yes, but nothing that size. There computers to which you can hook up microphones and find the key then, but otherwise no. What DOES exist is a chromatic tuner, which will identify a pitch that someone is playing. It has a microphone and also tells whether the instrument is out of tune and which way. I would recommend the Sabine Metrotune, a combination metronome tuner, that allows you to identify a pitch. That might help, but you have to be able to identify which note is the tonic note in the key. It's around 35 bucks, it's battery operated and I use it to work with my sax. You can also input a guitar chord to tune it, or hook up a mic to an instrument to tune it, or find out what pitches its playing.

Who thinks that Samuel Alito is qualified for the job?

I, like most Americans I would bet, haven't been paying enough attention. The few news sound bites and newspaper headlines is hardly enough to be making such decisions.  However, I still have enough faith in our elected officials to are sitting through hours of testimony and reviewing documents and such, to make the right decision.  So if they vote 'em in, the my answer to your question is 'yes'.

In cell biology, a mitochondrion (from Greek mitos thread + khondrion granule) is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, including those of plants, animals, fungi, and protists. A few cells, such as the trypanosome protozoan, have a single large mitochondrion, but usually a cell has hundreds or thousands of mitochondria. The exact number of mitochondria depends on the cell's level of metabolic activity: more activity means more mitochondria. Mitochondria can occupy up to 25% of the cell's cytosol.\n\nMitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants", because their primary function is to convert organic materials into energy in the form of ATP via the process of oxidative phosphorylation.


what kind of trees are there in the uae?

Date Palms in the UAE\n\n(Courtesy of "The Emirates" magazine, London, Nov./Dec. 1983 No. 74) \nThe economy of the UAE is, for the moment, founded on oil but its exploitation and the consequent wealth has not diminished the traditional importance of dates, either for the individual or in the minds of the agricultural experts. In world terms, the UAE ranks 9th in a table of palm tree cultivators, with an estimated population of 2-million trees. A report prepared by the UAE Chamber of Commerce suggests that of the available land suitable for fruit in the seven emirates, between 76 and 80 per cent is planted with date palms; some 62,000 dunams in 1981. The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries has given a detailed breakdown of the distribution of the trees by region.

Hello, What do you think about bilingual education?

Despite the efforts of the Bush Administration and others to push english-only education (No Child Left Behind) many studies show that bilingual education works well with 'limited english proficiency.' The best type of bi-lingual education in my opinion is 'two-way.' By that I mean that all students in the class learn both languages.\n\nMexican teachers who come to US to teach? Well, if they are fluent in both languages, I think as long as they meet the state requirements for education, they should be considered as equals to any other teacher.


How can i look gud 4 a guy that i wud like 2 go out w/ but not like i am a wanna-b?

Catch sales and take your time looking. The salespeople will help you find the right outfit. Some clothing stores have make-up counters, ask for a demo. Buy what you want, go home, take a long bubblebath, etc. Take your time getting dressed and wait for your date. When he sees you all dressed up looking so beautiful, you will blow his damn mind!

Math Problem:What is the least possible product when you multipy 10 by a two digit number? Explain.?

Assuming that by "two digit number" it excludes numbers with preceding zero like 05, 06, etc...and also assuming that the number is not negative (probly not in the 3rd grade), then since 10 is the smallest two-digit number on the number line, the product of 10 times 10 (lowest 2-digit number) is 100. (10x10=100)

IF people say we could eventually travel into the future how could we travel back into out present time (past)

it is not that confusing. About three year ago on PBS there was a program that talked about time travel and one of the scientist stated that even if we could travel back in time we coul donly travel up to the point when the time machine was invented.\nBut do not forget there are manyh theories about time travel. For instance the grandfather paradox claims that you could not travel back in time, but others say you can but in a different dimension.

Kashmir is a distributed territory.What we can do to give it to safe hands.To which country we should give it.

Here's the true history of Kashmir.\n\nBefore India and Pakistan gained independence all the lands were small states controlled by various kings. Before independence each king had the right to choose one of three options.\n1)Become part of India\n2)Become part of Pakistan\n3)Remain independent\n\nThe decision was typically made based on location of each state and religious majority. So if a state was predominantly Hindu it became part of India and if the majority was Muslim it became a part of Pakistan.\n\nThe problem with Kashmir was that the majority of the people were Muslim but the leaders were Hindu. In addition, Kashmir lays right in the middle of India and Pakistan. Intially they were considering becoming part of Pakistan but while they were still independent and about to make the final decision, small factions of Muslim miltants (aided by Pakistan) attacked the Kashmiri borders. Not wanting to be forcefully taken, Kashmiri leaders asked for aid from India. Yet India couldn't go into Kashmir because they'd be invading neutral territory. So in order to allow India to assist, Kashmir agreed to become part of India. India went into Kashmir and secured most of the major areas in Kashmir.\n\nAfter the small war, India promised to hold elections in the future to let the people of Kashmir decide if they wanted to be part of India or Pakistan... only after all militants had left Kashmir.\n\nSo today, militants continue to spordically attack villages in Kashmir hoping for the predominantly Muslim state to become part of Pakistan. Pakistan and many Muslims in Kashmir want those free elections to be held. India responds by saying that the militants have never left Kashmir and therefore they won't hold any elections until that happens.\n\nSo which side do you think is right? Seems like they both have valid points... and it seems like there's no good solution in sight.


does saturn have wateror signs of water being there?

At the temperatures on Saturn, water would be frozen solid below the methane atmosphere, so we can't say anything about water molecules on the planet.\n\nThe Saturn Rings may contain water ice.\n\nWhat can be said with certainty is that both bound hydrogen and bound oxygen can be found on and around Saturn.


Gas prices are set based on supply and demand. If more people are using gas or there is a lower amount of gas being produced then the prices will go up.\n\nThe recent increase in prices is probably due to the growing tension with Iran. If for some reason the oil from Iran is cut off, there will be less production.

Did you know that the US military used a weapon of mass destruction against iraqui targets?

The issue with White Phosphorus is over how it is employed.  As a flare then no problem, but used in direct fire mode it then becomes classed as a Chemical Weapon.  An American Marines rather tastless "shake and fry" comment indicates that this was the case and therefore violates the CW treaty.\n\nAs an ex-military Officer I don't have too many problems with using whatever tool is required to win with the least casualties to my own people.  What we have to watch is loosing the moral high ground and becoming the same as the enemy we fight.


i have four months before my university starts...how do i spend my time usefully?

Start by pre-studying any courses you know you will be taking.  This will help you get a jump when you start the actual course.  If you can get your books early, get them and read through them.  This will show your professors that you are dedicated.  Another thing you can do is volunteer.  Colleges love that and you could get additional credits for it.  You could volunteer at food banks or homeless shelters.  Whatever you decide to do, make sure you are doing it for a purpose.  Dont just party the time away.  You sound like an intelligent young person.  I know you will make a great difference in the world if you let youself.  Good luck to you.

my husband is cannot keep an erection long enough to satisfy me.?

Switch up positions and I mean often. Time it takes between switching will slow his motor down and maybe even yours but you got to becareful and watch how hard or fast he is pumping you make him go slow from the get go. Find that position that works best for you and not for him. Dont be afraid to go oral or even stroke the guy off while switching up those positions. The is also this toy that you can buy that will wrap around his testicles and penis that will make a man stay harder longer but you gotta keep him hard while your slapping this thing on him. Freaked me out first time I saw it I was like"What you wanna put that on my jewels oh hell nahhhh!"

No, it is quite easy to make your own biodiesel. You do not need any special equipment. \n\nHere is a procedure:\nThe process is quite simple. Alchohol and vegetable oil or some other similar fat are mixed with the catalyst. It can be used animal fats or vegetable oils. The alchohol can be methanol or ethanol. Methanol is generally cheaper since it is made in industrial quantities from petroleum. Sodium hydroxide (aka lye or caustic soda) or potassium hydroxide are mixed in as the catalyst.\n\n1. Methanol and sodium hydroxide are combined making sodium methoxide.\n2. Sodium methoxide is mixed and stirred with vegetable oil (trigycerides). The oil molecules break apart and this produces methylesters and glycerol. The glycerol and catalyst will settle to the bottom as they are both denser than the methylesters. The methylester is drained off after the reaction is complete, about 8 hours.\n3. The methylester (biodiesel) is washed by mixing it with water. The water dissolves any traces of the catalyst and the alchohol. After settling for a few days the water can be drained from the bottom of the tank.\nThe glycerol can be filtered and purified as well. It can be burnt as fuel, or it makes a powerful degreaser (it is already almost soap) and can be made into high quality soap.

Physics says that, for an obect to be propeled at the speed of light, there would be a need of about...?

zero-point energy is one of the most widely misunderstood concepts of quantum mechanics.  all it says is that space has fluctuations of non-zero energy at a temperature of absolute zero.  the casimir force, which is a measurable effect, can be modeled as a consequence of zero-point energy, but it's essentially the same thing as the van der waals interaction - also a consequence of quantum fluctuations.  \n\nthese fluctuations do physically exist but are not 'harnessable' any more than the random thermal fluctuations of matter at non-zero temperature.  at least, the 2nd law of thermodynamics says it is so - any technology that did such a thing would overturn hundreds of years of evidence for the validity of the 2nd law.  i for one am not holding my breath.\n\ndon't let the crackpots confuse you with their nonsense.

Competitive Intelligence is the process of obtaining and analyzing competitive information from multiple sources to help achieve the objectives of the organization. The term Competitive Intelligence is often viewed as synonymous with Competitor analysis but Competitive Intelligence is more than analyzing competitors - it is about making the organization more competitive relative to its existing set of competitors and potential competitors. Customers and key external stakeholders define the set of competitors for the organization and, in so doing, describe what could be a substitute for the business, votes, donations or other activities of the organization. The term is often abbreviated as CI, and most large businesses now have some Competitive Intelligence functions with staff involved often being members of professional associations such as the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals.\n\nInformation regarding daily activities of direct competition is valued highly, especially in the field of Information Technology and marketing in general. However, the scope of Competitive Intelligence is as varied as the personalities of those that sanction it. This includes details about employees, mergers, software acquisition and creation of proprietary software, sales data and forecasts.\n\nMost organizations are concerned about keeping their CI practices above board. Internal CI training and clear-cut, written policies (such as in the employee manual) can help to lessen the likelihood that employees will engage in activities of which the organization would not be proud.\n\nMature competitive intelligence departments are experts in predictive analysis-analysing and documenting the likely moves of their competitors in the future.\n\nThe Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries in general has the most mature CI departments. Technology firms were actively involved in this discipline prior to the dot com boom. The following firms have active Competitive Intelligence departments: Cisco, Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Wyeth, Bayer, Grainger

If you are in a boat on an overcast day and cannot see the shore, how could you figure which way to go?

If a person goes out in a boat without these things, they are likely breaking maritime law and should not be in a boat.\n\nI suppose if one were familiar with the local ocean currents and weather patterns for the time of year, you could triangulate against those.

Very cool question.\n\nHere are some links:


how do i delete all of the searches on the web search on yahoo main page?

In Internet Explorer, you must click on the "Tools" option at the top of the browser. A menu will appear. Click on the "Content" tab at the top of this menu. In this tab, you will see, under the Personal Information section, a button that says "AutoComplete". Click on it and uncheck the "Forms" box. If you want to get rid of AutoComplete for web addresses and user name and password forms, uncheck those too. You may also want to clear saved data. You can do that on that menu as well.\n\nFor Firefox, click the Tools option as above (except this time it is between "Bookmarks" and "Help" instead of "Favorites" and "Help"). Go to "Options". A menu will appear as above. Then click on the "privacy" button. After that, click on the "Saved Forms" tab. Uncheck the "Save information I enter in forms and the Search bar" box and clear saved forms data.

Overuse of vitamin C, what are the effects of the body and organs.?

As vitamin C, which is a water soluable vitamin, is not stored appreciably in our body and excess amounts are eliminated rapidly, toxicity is unlikely. Overuse of vitamin C can result in Diarrhea, burning with urination, nausea, skin sensitivities etc. There is also some concern that high intake may cause kidney stones.


I would like to know can i be exposed to hepatitis c?

In truth, the risk of transmission to co-workers or other household members seems to be quite low, and even sexual transmission is rare. The CDC recommends the use of sexual prophylactics by anyone infected with hepatitis C or any other sexually transmissible disease, but common contact is not dangerous. While it should be kept in mind that there is no known mode of transmission for approximately 10% of cases, this should not be taken as a statement that it can be easily casually acquired. Routine precautions around blood, and avoiding the sharing of toothbrushes, razors, and other personal items should provide adequate protection.\n\n\n\nA number of agents can cause hepatitis, including infectious diseases, chemical poisons, drugs and alcohol. Hepatitis C is a contagious viral disease that leads to serious, permanent liver damage, and in many cases, death.\n IV drug users represent the largest single risk group.  Sexual contact has been clearly identified as a means of transmitting hepatitis C.  Household contact with another household member that has hepatitis C has also been strongly implicated, and this, in combination with heterosexual exposure, is believed to be responsible for approximately 13% of all infections.  Around 2% of all cases of hepatitis C are thought to be contracted through the occupational risk (needle-stick injuries, blood spills, etc) involved with the health care profession.\n\nPrisoners have enormous incidence of infection - rates reported in some California prisons exceed 80%, with certain institutions reporting nearly 100% of their prisoners infected.\n\nSome skin piercing practices, notably tattooing, body piercing, and acupuncture, have contributed significantly to the spread of HCV, particularly in less industrialized nations. Tattooing in particular poses a serious risk. Even in the presence of good sterilization, studies have suggested that the ink used in tattooing can become contaminated and transmit the virus.\n\nCocaine users have an abnormally high risk of infection due to the fact that they frequently share snorting straws, which may have small amounts of blood-carrying mucous on them. \n\nLess obvious, specialized risk factors have been identified resulting from indirect exposures to blood - including manicures, shared toothbrushes and razors, and straight razors in barber shops.\n\nIn many surveys, about a third of people who are alcoholics are also infected with the HCV virus.

What information do you need to bring w/you to the bank to get a loan for building a new house??

Normally just proof of id, possibly an earnings statement. An estimate of how much the house will cost wouldn't hurt but I don't think it's necessary.


Whats the best way to build up good credit.?

Purchase things you ALREADY HAVE THE MONEY FOR in the bank.  Then pay them off each month.\nEnsure your card has no annual fees, and it will cost you no more to use the card than it does to have cash.  Just be sure to never, ever, ever spend more than you have in the bank.\nOver time, this will build up your credit.\n\nIf you buy a car using a loan, your interest rate will depend on your credit.  Once you pay it off, your credit will go up (makes good on debts).\n\nBuy a house, and your credit goes WAY up.\n\nGood luck!


a friend who likes to hangout w/ U always makes excuses 4 not chipping N when the check comes,but has money?

Sounds like a mooch...maybe dont do anything with this friend where money is involved.  or bring it up and tell them that you can't keep footing the bill, if they keep wanting to, maybe they are in the friendship more for the free stuff then you.


how do you trust a girl youve been with for two years when shes cheated on you befor and your locked up?

well I would say that you cant.  Since you are locked up, it seems that bad choices are a normal thing for you, so while you are locked up, think about what you want in life. Change yourself and then you will realize that your girlfriend was just another one of your bad choices!\n\nThere are people that dont cheat on each other, but if you cant be responsible and respectable- you are cheating others as well as yourself.\n\n(u must feel lucky to be locked up and still allowed to be on the internet)


how far is the earth from the sun and do you think this was as result of an accident (like the big bang) ??

The earth is about 93 million miles from the sun, on average. Sometimes the earth is closer to the sun, and sometimes it is farther from the sun, because the earth and the sun are in roughly elliptical orbits about a point called the center of mass. \n\nThere is some evidence that the entire universe is the result of an event called the Big Bang billions of years ago, when space and time appear to have come into existence. Pope Pius XII took the Big Bang as proof of the biblical creation story. However, the Big Bang Theory is not unassailable, and it is likely that as more evidence is compiled, this theory will be refined or changed. \n\nIn this sense, all of the dimensions of the universe, including the solar-terrestrial distance, are the result of the processes that produced the universe, however in a probably complicated and indirect way.


Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.


What is the best way to begin moving up in snowboarding?

wakeboarding is the closest you'll get to snowboarding, so do that if possible. skateboarding will help too. work on air awareness and grabs on a trampoline. strap in and hop to it. to get sponsored, first get good, then get video footage and photos and take them to local shops and try to get shop sponsored. take it from there.


My friend Erin forced me to watch a few episodes of that show; a complete farse!   It's terrible!  I thought 90210 set the bar pretty high for melodramatic, spoiled teenagers finding themselves in preposterous situations, but One Tree Hill just redifined the word 'ridiculous'.


I hate the graveyard shift. Not many people like it unless they are night people. I am not a night person. It just messes up a good nights sleep and your metabolism. \n\nThe only thing I can say is that you need to get a least 6-8 hours of sleep before the shift, either right after or right before. And once you get into a routine, then you should be okay.


do you ask someone out in person or is it ok to ask them out over the phone?

I think if you like a boy or a girl, you should tell them how you felt about them, and ask them out in person.


Which is the oldest university in the world?

Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, is generally considered to be the oldest university in the world.* It was founded roughly the same time as the city of Cairo, in 969 AD. The first lecture was delivered in 975 AD. \nLike many centers of learning, Al-Azhar University was originally intended as a place of worship and religious instruction. The mosque at Al-Azhar is one of the most famous in the Muslim world, and is still considered the seat of Sunni Islamic study. \n\nThe university pioneered systems of advanced academic instruction with its hierarchy of regular instructors and visiting professors. Its history follows the turbulent rise of the Islamic Empire, replete with political revolutions and competing religious philosophies. While Al-Azhar University has a storied history of religious instruction, it also boasts a robust secular curriculum, offering advanced degrees in engineering and medicine. \n\nAs with all matters medieval, historical facts and figures are up to academic interpretation. Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fez, Morroco, has also laid claim to the title of oldest university in the world. \n\nEurope's oldest university was founded in 1088 in the northern Italian city of Bologna. The United States's oldest university, Harvard, opened in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1636, not long after the first English colonists arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. \n\n\n\n*Nalanda University and Takshashila University, both ancient schools located in India, predate Al-Azhar University.

what were the enlistment rates of the us military before, during, and after world war 2?

In the Navy there were about 200 rates in the past hundred years. They are constantly changing too. The best place to probably check is wikipedia. My Grandfather was in the Army air corp during WWII. He never really had a rate. He was a Sgt. Gunner (Gunner being his "Rate" as he called it.)

what is the difference between C# and VB.Net?

Manish it hardly matters if you choose either of them. Finally the code is compiled into IL which is the intermediatory language. If you are comfortable with VB U go for VB.NET if your background is C/C++ go for C#.NET. My personal opinion is VB.NET is much easier to work with.


Human beings are most closely related to other animals that are in the same  what?

In the same order. Taxonomic categories are inclusive, thus, all animals in the same family are more closely related to each other than to animals in other families, and families in the same order are more closely related to each other than to families in a different order, and so on.

True but only partially.  American bills are a composition of both cloth fibers and paper. This not only helps them to last longer but also deters against counterfieting. If you look closely at a bill you can see the little fibers that sometimes even have their own color.

Howdy. This book is available used for as low as 68¢ with FAST delivery available. See links below.\n\nA quick search of  WorldCat, the OCLC catalog of books, at any library shows copies all over. You should be able to ask your local library to request an Inter-Library Loan.\n\nGood Luck!


If you gotta ask...no. IMs work with a chat host eg: yahoo! Instant Messenger (IM) AOL (AIM) and the like. You download these applications and set them up with a screen name that you have to let other people know so they can "talk" to you online. The program automatically lets you know when someone has written you. Hence the term INSTANT message. If you gotta ask that question, the answer is no.


Is it true a girl only looks for looks in a guy.?

Dpends on the age of the guy and girl.  Highschool, the girl wants a guy who looks good, and status items like a nice car, bike, bling.  College, girls want good looking guys with lots of money, or who are entering a career field that will make lots of money.  Over 30, looks are less important, girls now want men with MONEY and are good at sex.  Look at yourself as a commodity, as in "What can a girl get from me / use me for"  If you have anything of value to a woman, wich could be humor, personality etc.. ,then you will get one


The general rule of thumb is that when a relationship breaks up, it takes half the amount of the duration of the relationship to get over it. IOW, if it was a 10-year relationship, it can take up to 5 years to get over it.\n\nAs far as infidelity goes, it depends upon whether you are planning to continue in the relationship or not and whether or not your husband is willing to participate in healing the marriage.\n\nSome good resources for recovery from infidelity and rebuilding the marriage are:\n\nhttp://www.marriagebuilders.com/\n\nhttp://www.divorcebusting.com/\n\nA good book for recovering from an ended relationship is Letting Go by Tracy Cabot and Zev Wanderer. Following the steps in the book reduces your recovery time to 12 weeks. i used this during my divorce, and it really helped.\n\nBeing on the receiving end of the betrayal of adultery is the worst pain i've ever felt in my life, so i know how you are feeling. An excellent description from another betrayed spouse is that it feels like someone took a floor sander to your chest. :(\n\nThough i divorced my 1st husband, that was such a horrible experience that when my 2nd husband also ended up cheating on me, i chose to try to save the marriage instead.\n\ni am now 4+ years out from D-day (Discovery Day), and doing much better. It is no longer a daily pain. Even when i purposely focus on it (as in cases like this), it doesn't have the power to hurt me anymore.\n\nYou can recover and feel good again. It will take some time, but actively pursuing recovery will enable you to feel better sooner.


What should i do about this pain in my neck?

Give it a couple of days. Sleeping wrong pains usually subside in a couple of days. If it continues to hurt beyond what you think is normal, then you may want to see a chiropractor.


How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?


What is the location of rRNA in the cell?

rRNA or ribosomal RNA is found primarily in the ribosomes, and is actually a structural component of the organelles.  The author of the previous answer appears to be confusing rRNA with mRNA, which is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and travels to the ribosomes where it is translated into polypeptide chains.\n\nUpdate: We just talked about this today in my cell biology class - it's definitely a structural component of the ribosome, rather than free-floating in the cytoplasm.  Incidentally, although mRNA is the most widely known form of RNA, rRNA is actually the most abundant.


Why do hair on our head or facial hair keep growing and growing but armpit hair/ pubic hair not?

Interestingly enough, when you cut pubic hair, arm or armpit hair or shave legs, the hair grows back to exactly the same length as it was before!\n\nHair follicles in those areas are programmed and have on and off activation.


I bought a bottle of chinese prayer oil which is red in color. I want to know the contents and significance of

Prayer oil is often made from vegetable oil (like palm oil or vegetable ghee) with added extracts or rosins for aroma.  They are often colored to help know how much is applied to the candle.  Red is the color for happiness.\nUnlike a scented candle or joss stick, a prayer candle can be consecrated and then used with different oil for different purposes, like to promote health, prosperity, tranquillity, etc.  Prayer oil is also used in lamps.  Especially during holiday celebrations.  See some references below:


Doing my own investigations - the legality??

Why can't you report it?  Anyway, you can follow a person (granted they don't have a restraining order against you), anywhere as long as it is on public or pseudo-public land (the public street system, for example, is public.  The shopping mall is pseudo-public, because it is a private building which serves the public interest).  You cannot follow them in a way that requires you going onto private land or property.  As for picture taking, if you are specifically taking a picture of an actual crime in progress, then that can be used as evidence and is no more illegal thank taking a mental 'picture' when you see a robery taking place.  Picture taking of anything else would be a touchy matter and should be avoided.  Rule of thumb: if a casual glance cannot detect illegality or suspicious behavior in a photo, then the photo should not be taken.  However, you should avoid such activites at all costs.  Depending on the nature of the crimes you are investigating, you may be placing yourself (and the public) in serious danger.  I would recommend that you consult with the police on this issue if there is even the slightest chance of violence.

Simplier answer.  Integrated means you have video card built into your mother board.  \n\nYes you can add a 2nd video card which basically  would automatically turn off your integrated card.  \n\nDepending on how old your computer is you should check documentation and see if you can use a AGP slot which is specifically built for video.  If not you can buy a PCI video card instead.\n\nHope that helps,


Has anyone underwent Laser eye surgery? What are the risks and the cost incurred?

I had laser vision surgery a few years ago in one of my eyes. I didn't get it done in the other because I wanted to be able to read without glasses with one eye and see in the distance with the other without glasses. It worked out well for me this way and I never need glasses (except sunglasses). I haven't need any kind of maintenance after the 1st couple of visits. Locally it costs about $500 per eye but it probably will be different by where you live. You will have to ask an eye doctor about your other questions but keep in mind you only have to get one eye done if you still want to be able to read without glasses. Good luck.


what can i do, if anyone says his love knowing that i don't like him?


do guys like skinny, normal or fatgirls best.?


I am 21 so why don't i have regular periods?

Hormonal imbalances.  Usually caused by diet.  If you are too thin, you may not have enough body fat - it's actually the cholesterol in your body (fat) that is used to make estrogen.  Fatter women tend to look "softer" or more feminine.\n\nEstrogen is used to make the lining of your uterus that you shed every month.\n\nBut progesterone is used to coagulate the lining so it sheds at a regular time period.  It's released after the egg is released, so it gets higher just before your period.  \n\nCertain foods can interfere with the balance of estrogen and progesterone.  Soy foods are particularly high in estrogen and can throw things off balance.  Progesterone is also released from the adrenal glands, which also release cortisol - a stress hormone.  Too much stress makes the adrenals concentrate on releasing cortisol and not on progesterone.  Again, things get out of balance.\n\nTry to eliminate soy products (and they are everywhere - most "vegetable oils" are soy oil) and see if that helps.  Do some deep breathing and meditation to relax and reduce the cortisol levels.


which is the shortest or smallest bone in a human body and the longest bone?

The ossicles (also called auditory ossicles) are the three smallest bones in the human body.The ossicles are, in order from the eardrum to the inner ear, the hammer, anvil, and stirrup or stapes, so named because of the shape of the bones.\n\nThe "femur or thigh bone" is the longest, most voluminous and strongest bone of the human body. It forms part of the hip and part of the knee.


eI am very frustarated....help! I cannot get web links to work in messenger, they don't open...?

Let me see if I have this straight. Someone sent you a web link in a Yahoo instant message and the web page will not open? What does AOL have to do with this? Are you sure the link is a good one? Please clarify your problem.\n\n1/18/06 Thanks for updating your question. I assume you have a 'default' browser setting. In other words, your system knows to open a particular browser when you click on a link (i.e. a link in a message). Even though you use AOL as an internet provider you do NOT have to use their browser. I assume you are aware of that as well. I suggest you download Mozilla Firefox as a browser. Not sure this will cure this problem but it is a very fast, user friendly browser. Email me at kenburnham2001@yahoo.com if you are still having problems.

What is the best remedy for Type 2 Diabetes?? Is there any cure possible with naturopathy of alopathy??

In foreseeable future no cure for Diabetes is is known.Type 2 Diabetes is generally seen in overweight people who eat well but exercise less.Stirct dieting ,strenuous exercise almost always reduces blood glucose to acceptable levels.But many do not follow this regimen .Such men and women should take two typed of drugs. 1)Metformin etc. These drugs facilitate the transfer of Insulin from blood to cells where Insulin is needed.2)Sulfonyl ureas. These drugs stimulate beta cells of Pancreas  to produce more Insulin.Generally a combination of these is used.\nAny claim of cure is only from quacks.Consult your doctor.


does early meda pause make you unable to have children??????

If it is truly menopause then unfortunately yes. Menopause starts when the body stops producing eggs and the hormones to support pregnancy. At least that is what I understand it to be. I would go to a dr. immediately and see. If it hasn't truly started yet there may still be a chance. Perhaps even freezing any remaining eggs or embryo if you are already married and know who you want to have a child with but it will be costly.

Water is great for putting on some temporary weight. Permanent weight gain is a matter of eating more calories than you burn each day. You can reduce your physical activity level if you lead a very active lifestyle, or try to eat bigger portions for your meals. \nI do not recommend pigging out daily on a tub of ice cream or some such fat gaining nonsense as you will develop serious health issues if you do so.\nLastly, go see a licensed health professional.


i want to apply for a dod civilian job but i have a misdemeanor charge in my records 5 years ago what do i do?

Respond truthfully to any questions, written or oral.\nDon't bring it up yourself.\n\nOn the application, fill in any question about it with the facts. In oral interview, say "I'm glad you asked me that. I took care of that by (whatever you had to do such as fine, community service, counseling) and it has not been a problem since then."\n\nPrior Planning and Preparation Prevent P-Poor Performance. Prepare and rehearse for any question that might make you feel awkward, even "why do you want to work here" or "why did you leave your last job." Be honest but present yourself in a good light and avoid any blaming of others.


Clean cut is the best style.  Short tapered hair in the back, a little longer on top.\n\nJeans that fit, and shirts that are clean and without wrinkles.  Have Mom show you how to iron.  It really is fun!\n\nYou can still get everything messy and dirty...it is first impressions that count the most.  So, show up at school looking great, make sure the teachers and your friends have a quick look, then have a nice day without worrying about staying that way!

how do you figure the greatest common denominator?

To find the greatest common FACTOR, here is an example:\n\nFind the GCF of 36 and 54.\n\n    The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.\n\n    The factors of 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, and 54.\n\n    The common factors of 36 and 54 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18\n\nAlthough the numbers in bold are all common factors of both 36 and 54, 18 is the greatest common factor.\n\nThe second method for finding the greatest common factor is to list the prime factors, then multiply the common prime factors. \n\n**************************************\nTo find the least common denominator:\n**************************************\n\nTo find the least common denominator, simply  list the multiples of each denominator (multiply by 2, 3, 4, etc.) then look for the  smallest number that appears in each list.\n\n    Example: Suppose we wanted to add 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/15. We would find the least common denominator as follows...\n\n        *\n\n          First we list the multiples of each denominator. \n\n        Multiples of 5 are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,...\n\n        Multiples of 6 are 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48,...\n\n        Multiples of 15 are 30, 45, 60, 75, 90,.... \n\n        *\n\n          Now, when you look at the list of multiples, you can see that 30 is the smallest number that appears in each list.\n\n        *\n\n          Therefore, the least common denominator of 1/5, 1/6 and 1/15 is 30.\n\nThis method works pretty good. But, adding fractions with larger numbers in the denominators it can get pretty messy.\n\nSo hold that thought for a moment, as we look at another way to find a least common denominator for adding these same fractions.


Explain whay water is important to animals?

well without it their cells would shrivel up and die...\n\nwater is essential to dissolve most minerals and compounds in because it is a polar molecule and things are easily dissolved in it. the body takes advantage of these properties of water and our living system is based off of the properties of water and most of our bodies are actually made up of water.

those of you that belive in god  why do you think that he let ann frank and pepole like her die and suffer.?

Gods' original purpose for mankind is to let them live forever in paradise.He gave them everything that is needed to satisfy their needs and wants.He don't want them to die or to suffer. the first man died not because His creator wants him a shortlived life,no. He died because he disobeyed God. If adam have not sinned he would have been here still. We, just like ann frank inherited the sin of adam and that is the reason why man dies.

I live in Missouri, what lawfully would happen if I didn't pay this mos rent when we just had a verbal agreemt

If you have no lease you have no protection from eviction. Typically, though, many states would say that the landlord must still give you 30 days notice to evict you.\n\nAdditionally, the landlord can seek a court judgement from you to recoup the rent payment, and can also notify the credit bureau that you did not pay your rent.\n\nNow, it is unusual to not have a written lease. If you do have a lease, see what your lease says. Usually a lease says that no conditions of the lease can be altered verbally but must be altered in writing.\n\nHere is the Missouri Landlord Tenant Law Booklet:\nhttp://www.ago.mo.gov/publications/landlordtenant.pdf

Brake linings are composed of a relatively soft but tough and heat-resistant material with a high coefficient of dynamic friction (and ideally an identical coefficient of static friction) typically mounted to a solid metal backing using high-temperature adhesives or rivets. The complete assembly (including lining and backing) is then often called a brake pad or brake shoe.\n\n \nIn this view of an automobile disc brake, the brake pad is the black material held by the red metal component (the brake caliper). The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal rotor when the brake is engaged.Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied. In most modern vehicular applications the system is conceptually identical, except the rims would be replaced with solid steel (or sometimes exotic metal) rotors. Furthermore, a metal tang is usually incorporated into the pad assembly. The tang contacts the rotors when the linings are worn out, causing an annoying noise designed to alert the motorist that brake servicing is required.\n\nSince the lining is the portion of the braking system which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat, the lining must be capable of surviving high temperatures without excessive wear (leading to frequent replacement) or outgassing (which causes brake fade, a decrease in the stopping power of the brake). Due to its suitability, asbestos is often a component in brake linings; as a result, brake dust should never be inhaled

what can i do to cure my pimple and black spot??

If your problem is just a pimple, I would suggest putting benzoyl peroxide on it (Like Johnson & Johnson's Persa-Gel 10).  You just put a small dab on the pimple and it clears up pretty quickly.  You might also want to try putting toothpaste on your pimple (instead of the benzoyl peroxide), lots of beauty editors for magazines swear by it.

Has anyone ever had a full recovery from Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder is something that can be managed and controlled, but it is not something that will ever go away.  The better a person learns to manage their disorder, the better the long term outcome, with fewer episodes of acute manic or depressive phases.  Medication, therapy and healthy life styles are all integral to learning how to live with and manage bipolar disorder.  Two excellent sources of online info for child onset BP disorder are bpkids.org and cabf.org.  NAMI, the National Alliance for the mentally ill has an excellent website with a pediatric section that has excellent links.  BP disorder poses many difficulties for the patient and their families, but it is not something impossible to manage.  Educate yourself about managing BP disorder and if necessary educational support for a child.  Good luck.

What is difference between gelato ice cream and just regular ice creams?

There are two basic differences:\n\n1. Gelato is lower in fat-- typically 4 to 7% fat vs. a minimum of 10% for American ice cream.\n\n2. The overrun (air whipped into the mix) is lower-- typically 30 to 40% vs. 100-120% for some commercial American ice creams and soft serves.


What does the slope of a speed-time graph indicate?

well speed is units of distance per unit time, lets say meters per second(m/s). now the slope is the velocity per unit time. so that would be meters per second per second(m/s/s). meters per second per second is also known as meters per second squared(m/s^2). look familiar? those are the units for acceleration. this also makes sense because of the formula. a=v/t. so the slope is the y-axis divided by the x-axis so v is the y-axis and t is the x-axis. so v/t, which is acceleration. hope that helps :)


What is the best way for a teen to lose weight? some say that diet pills arent safe for teens is that true?

Diet pills aren't really effective.  You need to be very careful.  I used stacker 2 once - I only took one pill and it made me feel like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.  I felt sick and it was kinda scary.  That was only taking one pill, one time!  None of their claims are backed up by anything but paid spokesmodels.  If a pill could really make people lose weight, I seriously doubt that we would have this huge obesity problem in the US.\n\nLosing weight is hard, no doubt about that.  You need to be committed to making a lifestyle change.  A lot of people start out really gung-ho, which is fine but it burns out after a short time.  You need to cut out all sodas & reduce the amount of juice you drink.  All natural juice is better than the sugary stuff, but you still need to watch.  You should drink some skim milk (for calcium) and mainly water - lots of it - about 64 oz (8 glasses) per day.  It sounds like an awful lot, but just carry a water bottle with you all the time.  You also need to cut out sweets, chocolates, candy, and other junk like chips.  Eat more veggies, salad is good but go easy on the dressing!  You can still treat yourself now and then, but only have one cookie instead of 10.  \n\nWatch portion sizes and try not to eat after 7PM.  Get more active - join a sports team or just hit the gym.  Try walking or biking instead of driving (if possible).  Instead of laying on the couch playing video games or watching tv, take the dog for a walk.  Anything to get moving!  After awhile you won't crave the sweets and junk, you will want to be up moving instead of laying around.  Small changes can make big difference, but be patient.  \n\nGood luck!

any better way to loose weight in 1 month?

Replace 2 meals a day with cereal and drink plenty of water. Don't skip meals as it messes up matabolism. If you don't like the cereal idea, eat 5-6 small meals. I lost weight having a diet shake and vitamins for breakfast, an apple for snack, yogurt and banana for lunch, fruit or veggie for snack and a Healthy Choice meal for dinner. I lost 12 pounds in a month. Any more than that isn't good and chances are you'll gain it all back. You need excercise and I hate that, so put on funky music and dance up a storm for a half an hour or more a day. It's fun, good for you and a real tension reliever. Good Luck!

is there any treatment for wet macular degeneration??

Your question intrigued me.  My uncle was recently diagnosed with macular degeneration, although I do not know if it is "wet" or "dry."  I found the following treatments for wet macular degeneration.  I hope you don't mind that I'm cutting and pasting...\n\nSurgeons have several techniques to treat "wet" macular degeneration, including:\n\n-Laser photocoagulation. This procedure is used to stop the abnormal growth of blood vessels that happens in "wet" macular degeneration. The surgeon focuses a laser beam onto a small spot on the macula where blood vessels are growing. The laser beam heats up that spot, creating a tiny burn in the blood vessels and stopping their growth. Unfortunately, vision does not come back in the areas treated with the laser. It is also very likely that new blood vessels will grow at some time in the future. \n\n-Photodynamic therapy. In this treatment, a special dye is injected into the bloodstream. This dye is actually a type of medication that only becomes active when very strong light, such as a laser, is shined on it. The surgeon activates the medication by focusing a laser onto the abnormal blood vessels that are growing in the macula. The medication works from inside the blood vessels to shrink them. This treatment causes much less damage to the macula, so there is less loss of vision. But the growth of abnormal blood vessels still might happen again in the future. \n\n-Macular surgery. There are two other treatments the surgeon might recommend for severe cases of "wet" macular degeneration. In both of these procedures, the surgeon makes openings into the eye for special instruments. One technique is to remove the tissue where the abnormal blood vessels are growing. Another method is to lift the macula off the area where the blood vessels are growing and place it in a more healthy part of the retina. These procedures often do not fully restore normal vision, however. \n\n\nI certainly hope this helps!  I've included the website.

it's about oil, because we depend on the oil for our livelihood. It is defintely not right, and we as americans should not think we are better than others just because we are americans. But to answer your question, this administration decided to take the oil instead of negotating for it. They did this because Fmr. Pres. Hussein is not really interested in negotiating with the U.S. But the administration knows without steady oil supplies the United States would be in dire straits, so we just took it illegally.

Should AMERICA build a fence and seal our borders?

Yup.\n\nWe have borders for a reason.  National Security is the obvious reason.  The other, more subtle reason is that hospitals are closing due to their having to treat illegal immigrants, then have no way to make them pay.  Schools are being underfunded due to large amounts of illegal immigrant childrenin certain areas and not enough tax payers to properly fund them.  And lets not forget that more money is sent to other countries by illegal immegrants earning untaxed illegal wages than is sent to Japan by Toyota.  If someone wants to take advantage of the wonderful benefits of being American, they should have to pay for them like the rest of us.\n\nRant concluded.  Thanks for listening.


Although sometimes called "the molecule of heredity", DNA macromolecules as people typically think of them are not single molecules. Rather, they are pairs of molecules, which entwine like vines to form a double helix (see the illustration at the right).\n\nEach vine-like molecule is a strand of DNA: a chemically linked chain of nucleotides, each of which consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate and one of five kinds of nucleobases ("bases"). Because DNA strands are composed of these nucleotide subunits, they are polymers.\n\nThe diversity of the bases means that there are five kinds of nucleotides, which are commonly referred to by the identity of their bases. These are adenine (A), thymine (T), uracil (U), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). U is rarely found in DNA except as a result of chemical degradation of C, but in some viruses, notably PBS1 phage DNA, U completely replaces the usual T in its DNA. Similarly, RNA usually contains U in place of T, but in certain RNAs such as transfer RNA, T is always found in some positions. Thus, the only true difference between DNA and RNA is the sugar, 2-deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.\n\nIn a DNA double helix, two polynucleotide strands can associate through the hydrophobic effect and pi stacking. Specificity of which strands stay associated is determined by complementary pairing. Each base forms hydrogen bonds readily to only one other -- A to T and C to G -- so that the identity of the base on one strand dictates the strength of the association; the more complementary bases exist, the stronger and longer-lasting the association.\n\nThe cell's machinery is capable of melting or disassociating a DNA double helix, and using each DNA strand as a template for synthesizing a new strand which is nearly identical to the previous strand. Errors that occur in the synthesis are known as mutations. The process known as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) mimics this process in vitro in a nonliving system.\n\nBecause pairing causes the nucleotide bases to face the helical axis, the sugar and phosphate groups of the nucleotides run along the outside; the two chains they form are sometimes called the "backbones" of the helix. In fact, it is chemical bonds between the phosphates and the sugars that link one nucleotide to the next in the DNA strand.

Need more details...wallet was taken away from you at the scene?  If it was that doesn't sound right unless it was taken in as evidence (contained drugs or had suspected drug residue on it?). Anyways check back at the police station maybe it was mysteriously found as mysteriouly as it disappeared. Anyways I would pursue the matter even if it only ended up officially reported or thrown out in court.  At least there would be some type of record of this type of thing happening with this (these) same sheriff(s). At the very least it would start a presidence in setting some boundries against this type of (suspected) abuse. Or maybe this has been going on and has been reported earlier by (a) different individual(s).  Either way the more people that report and take action the stronger the next (reported) victum's chances are.  It might even end up setting some boundries for the (reported) thief by giving him a taste of his own medicine....a trip in front of a sentencing judge. \nI'm a little confused about the police station with the sheriff(s) involved. I thought they had their own seperate stations.  Maybe you could check at the sheriff's station for your wallet, maybe he took it to the sheriff's station.


why did america pull out the vietnam war?

Serious negotiations to end the war began after U.S. President Lyndon Johnson's decision not to seek reelection in 1968. Contacts between North Vietnam and the United States in Paris in 1968 were expanded in 1969 to include South Vietnam and the NLF. The United States, under the leadership of President Richard M. Nixon, altered its tactics to combine U.S. troop withdrawals with intensified bombing and the invasion of Communist sanctuaries in Cambodia (1970).\n\nThe length of the war, the high number of U.S. casualties, and the exposure of U.S. involvement in war crimes such as the massacre at My Lai (see My Lai incident) helped to turn many in the United States against the war. Politically, the movement was led by Senators James William Fulbright, Robert F. Kennedy, Eugene J. McCarthy, and George S. McGovern; there were also huge public demonstrations in Washington, D.C., as well as in many other cities in the United States and on college campuses.\n\nEven as the war continued, peace talks in Paris progressed, with Henry Kissinger as U.S. negotiator. A break in negotiations followed by U.S. saturation bombing of North Vietnam did not derail the talks, and a peace agreement was reached, signed on Jan. 27, 1973, by the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and the NLF's provisional revolutionary government. The accord provided for the end of hostilities, the withdrawal of U.S. and allied troops (several Southeast Asia Treaty Organization countries had sent token forces), the return of prisoners of war, and the formation of a four-nation international control commission to ensure peace.

Who is your all time favorite football player? and why?

Man, that's good and tough question.  I will have to give more than 1 but no more than 2.  Currently, Peyton Manning is the man.  He has character and values that keep him down to earth, unlike TO & Moss.  Also he got shafted with the heisman.  When he is done all NFL quarteback records maybe broken.  ALL TIME - I'd have to go with Barry Sanders.  He was not outspoken, never got into trouble, and always looked like he was having fun.  Not to mention that he was the best running back watch.
