Should I drink Advil for a pain in my leg?

If it is a cramp, try eating more potassium (bananas, orange juice, strawberries) and drinking more water. Advil is a good quick fix. If you're not very active and this 'came out of nowhere' keep an eye on it, especially if it's in the calf and you have circulation problems,etc. If you have a raised red spot that is hot to the touch, and you're running a fever (without the advil or other meds masking it) you might have a blood clot. See the doctor VERY soon


FORGET ABOUT TRYING IMPRESS THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO. THINK FOR A MOMMENT ABOUT THE TOPIC OF THE CONVERSATION. THIS JUST TAKES A SECOND. NEXT BE HONEST TO YOUR SELF AND THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO. SOMETIMES BEING TRUTHFUL CAN HURT SO TRY AND FEEL HOW THE OTHER PERSONS HEART MAY FEEL. NEXT DON'T PRETEND TO LIKE THE PERSON IF YOU DON'T.REMEMBER HONESTY IS GOOD.JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE GENUINE.I KNOW THIS SOUNDS MUSHY BUT I'M JUST LEARNING MYSELF.

How do you find statute of limitations in each state? Like for crimes when do they go off a person's record?

Statutes of limitations have nothing to do with wiping clean a criminal record. SOL have to do with the time limit mandated for a person/entity, business or the government to bring a lawsuit/charge. SOL mandates are often mentioned at the end of the statutory definition of the crime/action involved.


Why do I pay more rent now with medicare part d as I have less money?

My guess would be that the government thinks that since you are on part D you are saving money, so you have more money to pay towards rent.


What did you think about the first 15 minutes of 24?

I was hooked! As soon as they killed my beloved David Palmer and then killed Michele and critically wounded Tony, I thought, "man, this is the s@#t!" I mean, who could have predicted that the first 15 minutes of 24 would be as impressive and unbelievable as last season's first 15 minutes. I mean, every season, this show just keep me on the edge of my seat! Now, if only they get rid of that annoying kid like they did with Jack's daughter (she was useless and a pain) and do something with that spineless, blankety, blank punk Logan, then man, I will be hooked until the next season (or is this the last for Jack and Co.?) Who knows! I can't wait for tonight's 2 hour to play out!


Is John 8:32 option-all? Does God compromise or plea bargain with anyone about such things are an allegory?

I work in the mental health field.  I have had numerous opportunities to apply this particular verse to situations.  Because of Federal regulations, I cannot say "Thus sayeth the word of the Lord.." But I can say---your symptoms are manifestations of your illness. (The truth, true?) Tell them to quit.  It works and my client's obtain some freedom from their symptoms.  So Yes You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.


Can anyone prove the existence of ghosts?  Has anyone 'really' seen one?

I lived with a ghost for around 4 months before it became too violent for me..and I had to leave..There were many occurances every day..and night..and I thought it to be rather "cool" living with a ghost..I woke up one night and actually saw an apparition at the bottom of my bed...\nIt was not long after that..the violence began..and I got outta there.. I have ended up back to that very house 4 times since I moved very far away..and of those 4 times  ending up back there..none was my doing......and for each time..the vehicle I was a passanger in died..the engine just stopped..as soon as we began proceeding down the same block as the house...\nParanormal is all around us...Many look at it differently because we cannot explain it...so..it is considered by many as phoney and non-real..people are scared of what they cannot understand..but..from my experiences in this life time..I can assure you...it is all REAL..life certainly is full of endless surprises..just waiting to be found out.

made using easy-to-find materials. The components of this telescope are: \n\n\nring to secure the eyepiece lens from behind \nring for centering the eyepiece lens \neyepiece: lens with focal length of 20-50 mm. You can buy one in an optical or photographic shop, or you can get one free by using the lens of a disposable camera. \nring to secure the eyepiece lens from the front \na cardboard tube for the eyepiece. You can use the tube from a roll of plastic food wrap or paper towels. You can also use short sections of this tube to make rings 1, 2, and 4 which you need to hold the eyepiece lens in place \ncoupling between the eyepiece tube and the main tube. This is a hollow cylinder with an outer diameter that fits snugly into the end of the main tube and an inner diameter that provides a snug but movable fit to the outside of the eyepiece tube. You can make the coupling using several plywood disks glued together or using a polystyrene cylinder with a hole bored through it. If you use polystyrene, you will need to add an opaque covering at each end. \nmain tube. Use a cardboard or plastic tube about as long as the focal length of the objective lens and with an outside diameter of 50-60 mm about. Suitable sources include map mailing tubes and core tubes for carpets, drawing paper, or wrapping paper. \nobjective lens. You can use a common eyeglass lens with a focal length of 500-1000 mm. You can buy it in a optical shop. Ask the optician to reduce the lens diameter in order to fit it precisely into the tube cap \ndiaphragm. Cut it from a black card, then open a hole of about 15 mm in diameter in the center of the disk \nCap of the tube. If you buy a tube for drawing sheets, you should have a cap which will be useful for retaining the objective and the diaphragm. Otherwise, you can made it with a disk of cardboard. Make a series of radial cuts around the edge of the disk to make a set of tabs, Moisten the tabs; then place the tube cap on one end of the principal tube and bend the tabs around the outside of the tube. Glue the tabs together where they overlap, but be careful not to glue the cap to the principal tube yet. When the glue is dry, slip the cap off and cut in the cap a hole a few mm less in diameter than the outside diameter of principal tube. \nThe distance between objective and eyepiece lenses must be equal to the sum of their focal lengths. The eyepiece tube must stick out a few centimeters so you can move it to focus the telescope. Make the length of the principal tube short enough to allow you to grip the protruding part of the eyepiece tube with your fingers as you adjust the focus.\nThe eyepiece tube must slide smoothly in its channel, but it should not be loose enough to fall out if you hold the telescope vertically. Paint the inside of the tubes with black opaque paint (matte finish) or India ink . Secure the cap of the main tube to keep it from pulling away from the tube.


Usually, Insomnia is caused by stress or by disturbances in the normal sleeping/waking cycle.\n\nFemale gender, advancing age, marital separation, the loss of a spouse or partner, unemployment, and poor living conditions have all been associated with higher rates of Insomnia.\n\nKnown factors associated with Insomnia include:\n\nn Changes in sleep timing: Shift work or jet lag.\n\nn Medical conditions: Respiratory disease (particularly asthma), cardiovascular disease (such as congestive heart failure), endocrine disease, gastrointestinal disease (reflux), pregnancy, sleep apnea, or neurologic disease.\n\nn Drugs: Stimulants (diet pills or amphetamines), selected antidepressants, corticosteroids, diuretics, seizure medicines, and some blood pressure medications.\n\nn Psychiatric problems: Anxiety, mood, or thought disorders.\n\nn Stressful situations: Major life events, employment concerns, or financial stress.\n\nn Substance abuse: Stimulant abuse or withdrawal from alcohol or sedative-hypnotics.\n\nn Lifestyle choices: Drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, drinking caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, tea, or soft-drinks).


Can electricity be generated for free, without burning fossil fuels?

Nothing is free.  Converting the entire energy grid to alternative fuel sources would be expensive and in some cases would require that enormous batteries be constructed to store power and distribute it during times when the alterate resource is not available (i.e when the sun stops shining on a solar power field).  We've also become accustomed to consuming a great deal of electricity and the ammount of solar, wind and other plants needed would be enormous (I'm not saying it's not well worth the effort, but studies show it won't be as quick or clean as some would lead you to believe).


How much air does a human breath in his whole life?

On average it’s about 4,250 gallons of air per day. That equals something like 40 billion trillion molecules of oxygen. But the air brings with it roughly 20 billion particles of dirt and other foreign matter.  To get “per life” amount take 4,250 x 365 x life expectancy in years.

Braille system\n\nA system of raised-dot writing devised by Louis Braille (1809-1852) for the blind in which each letter is represented as a raised pattern that can be read by touching with the fingers. \n\nThe System: Each braille character or "cell" is made up of 6 dot positions that are arranged in a rectangle comprising 2 columns of 3 dots each. A dot may be raised at any of the 6 positions. Counting a space in which there is no dot raised, there are 2 to the 6th power (2x2x2x2x2x2 = 64) possible combinations. A specific combination is described by naming the positions where dots are raised. The positions are numbered 1 through 3 from top to bottom on the left, and 4 through 6 from top to bottom on the right. \n\nFor example, a combination of dots 1-3-4 describes a cell with three dots raised, those dots being at the top and bottom in the left column and on top of the right column. The 1-3-4 combination denotes the letter "m" in French and in all other languages (including English) that use the Roman alphabet. The same 1-3-4 combination designates the letter "mu" in Greek and"mim" in Arabic (both of which have an "m" sound). \n\nThe basis of the braille codes for all of the world's languages is the assignment of most of the dot patterns to letters of the alphabet, punctuation marks and other symbols. This is done with a certain consistency, quite often with reference to Louis Braille's original assignments (to the extent that is possible, given the great diversity of alphabets, accent marks, vocalization marks, etc). \n\nBecause the 64 distinct characters are never enough to cover all possible print signs and their variants, it is necessary to use multi-character sequences for some purposes. Often this is accomplished by using certain characters as "prefixes" or "indicators" that affect the meaning of subsequent cells. \n\nFor example, in English a dot 6 before a letter indicates that the letter is a capital, whereas otherwise it is understood to be lower case. For another example, dots 3-4-5-6, called the "numeric indicator", causes certain following letters (a through j) to be reinterpreted as digits.

Will Feburary and March be bitter cold on the east coast or will it remain mild?

Just recently i have read a article on the NAO or North Atlantic Ocillation i believe it was called.  The NAO has two cycles, a positive cycle and a negative cycle.  Currently the cold air is trapped in siberia where low temperatures have reached ne 70 Degrees below zero F.  Forecast for this NAO is said to change to the negative cycle after superbowl sunday, which is just cowincdince and that incredibly cold air will shift over into canada and eventually sink in the eastern US.  Causeing us to have normal if not below normal temperatures for february and march.


How can I expose mail fraud at the USPS without getting fired?

If the fraud is against the government you can use what is called the Qui-Tam statute.  This is a law originally begun by Abraham Lincoln during the civil war to reward people who reported fraud in the war effort.  It has been used in a variety of situations such as defense contractor fraud and healthcare fraud.  The person who brings it to light is called the relator, who with the help of an attorney files a lawsuit that is not public information (under seal).  The government reviews the case and determines if it has merit.  If they agree, they intervene and the case proceeds.  At the end of the case the relator receives a portion of whatever the government recovers.


If we've lost most of our hair in the evolution, why do we still have pubic hair and hairy armpits?

Evolution doesn't eliminate everything which is useless. It will remove anything which is a disadvantage. For example, if it slows us down while running or makes us less intelligent, then it would have disappeared long ago.\n\nPubic and underarm hair may not have a reason to exist, but it also doesn't harm us, so it's still around. It may or may not disappear from humanity several thousand years from now.\n\nA few other points:\n- Some people believe that the underarm and pubic hair is used to reduce chafing. You'll notice that the crotch and armpits are two areas where the human body rubs against itself the most.\n- Some people believe that the underarm and pubic hair is used to hold in the pheromones that we produce. The crotch and underarms are two of the smelliest places on the human body.\n- In Asia, there are people who are actually born without underarm or pubic hair. However, in places like Korea, pubic hair is considered a sign of fertility, so many of the women born without pubic hair actually transplant hair from their head to their pubic area.


i'm young and have no credit and i need a loan does anyone know a lender that will accept me ?

Do you have a bank that you have any accounts in?  if you do they may be willing to make you a small loan.  Everyone has to start somewhere.   (how can anyone ever get a loan if they didn't have credit?  think about it... Everyone had to have a "first" loan - it's from that point that you will establish if you are trust/creditworthy or not) so don't blow it.  Pay that loan when you do get it. \n\nIf you don't have a bank account - you may need to have a family member co-sign  the loan for you.  You need to be sure to pay the loan off on time and you will be on your way to building a great credit for your future.

i heard about a drug that helps horses with allergies and celeberaties have been taking it to lose weight fast

The drug you mention is very controversial. It is called clenbuterol and it is used to treat asthma in hourses. Don't take it. \n\nThe drug has apparently caused in some people rapid heartbeat, twitching eyes, out of control nerves, etc. It can stiffen the heart muscle causing major problems to the cardiac function.\n\nMost important to remember:\n\n1) The drug is not manufactured for human consumption.\n\n2) It can create "irreversable" effects to your heart.\n\nMost professional sporting associations, including the Olympics, ban the drug - and with good reason. Why would you want to take something so dangerous?\n\nIf you want to lose weight, look at other proven methods to so that are natural and won't cause you a lot of harm. One of the biggest natural ways to lose weight is to drink a lot more water. See my third source for details.

What is the kingdom of Heaven that we pray for in the Lords prayer, to come on earth.?

I like this question. I just finished reading a book by Max Lucado, "The Great House of God", and in chapter 6, he talks about this very thing.\n\nJesus prayed this prayer as an example to us, to give us a precise model to follow when we pray. And, he is telling us here to go ahead and ask for "his kingdom to come"...meaning we can ask boldly in Biblical faith for God come into our lives. To invite him in..and as Lucado puts it to be present in our lives, in our marriages, and in our hearts. He says, "This is no feeble request; it's a bold appeal for God to occupy every corner of your life."\n\nIn Hebrews 4:16, it says: "So let us come boldly to the very throne of God and stay there to receive his mercy and to find grace to help us in our times of need."\n\nPretty cool, huh?


Liquid crystals are substances that exhibit a phase of matter that has properties between those of a conventional liquid, and those of a solid crystal. For instance, a liquid crystal (LC) may flow like a liquid, but have the molecules in the liquid arranged and oriented in a crystal-like way. There are many different types of LC phase, which can be distinguished based on their different optical properties (such as birefringence). When viewed under a microscope using a polarized light source, a liquid crystal material will appear to have a distinct texture. Each 'patch' in the texture corresponds to a domain where the LC molecules are oriented in a different direction. Within a domain, however, the molecules are well ordered. Liquid crystal materials may not always be in an LC phase (just as water is not always in the liquid phase: it may also be found in the solid or gas phase). Liquid crystals can be divided into thermotropic and lyotropic LCs. Thermotropic LCs exhibit a phase transition into the LC phase as temperature is changed, whereas lyotropic LCs exhibit phase transitions as a function of concentration.

Why system programming are done in UNIX and not in WINDOWS? Any specific reason.... Please let me know......?

Unix is a group of interrelated operating systems. It is not a programming language. Programming for the unix operating system can be done in a number of languages. The AT&T engineers who wrote the first iteration of UNIX programmed in C. The history of Unix and enough information to tell you just about anything you would like to know about generic UNIX and its major variants is here. http://www.osdata.com/kind/unix.htm\n\nUNIX is widely used by System operating systems because it is very powerful, very stable, and responds well to batch and script instructions.


What do you do for fun?  Try to make a career out of your favorite hobby.  I was majoring in psychology (which I had wanted to do since I was about 15), and a semester into college I realized it was not for me.  I changed to an "undecided" major and stayed in school for another 2 semesters before realizing that I was in the wrong place.  I transfered to a small art school and moved back in with my parents.  I'm one quarter away from graduating with my culinary arts degree and I couldn't be happier.  Don't look for a program that fits you, figure out what it is that you're good at, and then figure out what you have to do to make a living at it.

Who first described 1p36 deletion syndrome?

Caused by a terminal deletion of the most distal band of the short arm of chromosome 1, monosomy 1p36 is the most commonly observed terminal chromosomal deletion, occurring in approximately 1 in 5,000 births (Shaffer and Lupski 2000; Heilstedt et al. 2003b). As first described by the Shaffer lab in 13 subjects (Shapira et al. 1997), craniofacial characteristics of this contiguous gene deletion syndrome (CGDS)--so-called because it involves the deletion of multiple adjacent genes on the same chromosome arm--include late-closing, large anterior fontanels (membranous intervals at the intersection of the cranial bones at the crown of the skull), brachycephaly (disproportionate shortness of the head), deep-set eyes, flat nasal bridge, asymmetric ears, and pointed chin. Monosomy 1p36 is also associated with mental retardation, developmental delay, hearing impairment, seizures, growth impairment, and heart defects (Shapira et al. 1997; Slavotinek et al. 1999; Heilstedt et al. 2003a). Over 90 subjects with rearrangements of 1p36 have enrolled in our studies, of which 61 were recently published (Heilstedt et al. 2003a). The deletion sizes in the subjects vary considerably (Wu et al. 1999; Heilstedt et al. 2003a); however, there is some uniformity in the origin of the deletions, with over 60% being maternally derived (Wu et al. 1999; Heilstedt et al. 2003a). Candidate genes have been proposed for some of the individual features of monosomy 1p36, including seizures (Heilstedt et al. 2001) and facial clefting anomalies (Colmenares et al. 2002). \n\nThe Shaffer laboratory has recently identified possible mechanisms for the generation and/or stabilization of terminal deletions of 1p (Ballif et al. 2003; Ballif et al. 2004a; Ballif et al. 2004b; Gajecka et al. 2005). In addition, the Shaffer laboratory has recently demonstrated the use of microarrays--a rapid, sensitive, and high-resolution technology for the detection of many chromosomal anomalies--in the detection of deletions of 1p36 (Yu et al. 2003). \n\n\ncheck this article\n\nShapira SK, McCaskill C, Northrup H, Spikes AS, Elder FF, Sutton VR, Korenberg JR, Greenberg F, Shaffer LG (1997) Chromosome 1p36 deletions: the clinical phenotype and molecular characterization of a common newly delineated syndrome.

I am a new Southern Living at Home Consultant. What is the best way to get home parties outside of friends?

Well, instead of asking your friends to give a party, you ask them to hand out your card or catalog.  Some grocery stores and community centers have bulletin boards where you can post a flyer or your card.  I've seen "at home party" consultants place very small adds in the classefieds of their local newspaper.  You could ask the owner of a small, local business if you could place you business card on their counter and, in turn, give them something you sell that could make their business easier, nicer, et cetera.  Try leaving one of your catalogs or flyers in clinic waiting rooms.  Just a few ideas...


if yr boyfriend thinks you are fat, what do you do?

My Sweetie Pai!!\n\nDo not let anybody change you not for ANY reason, if u are happy with your body then stay that way,\n\n you know what!! GOD knew what he was doing when he created different people with different shape so that we can pick and choose, if he is looking for a thin girl he must go and find himself one.\n\nJust remember that in life we will always meet people who will try to change us just because we love them and we must learn to take a stand on those people cause they will end up destroying us and we end-up with a low confidence and probably low self esteem.\n\ni cannot tell u what to do BUT i can suggest that talk to your boyfriend and try to stand up to him and explain that u are unable to meet his expectations due to the fact that u are very much happy with the way u look and u are not ready for a new change!!\n\ni hope this little advice will be of help to u.\nMay God help u to make the right decision.


what is da best way to relieve my self from cramps that i get from PMS??

Heat does help releive cramps.  I usually just use a hot water bottle and elevate my legs.  I've never heard of that medication the other response mentions, I always just take ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.)  To prevent cramps, its better if you wear pads instead of tampons.  When mine are bad, I'll just wear tampons at work, and switch to pads as soon as I get home.

Any Theories regarding what to expect at the end of our current Precessional cycle? I'm looking at 2012-2014.

We will be entering the Age of Aquarius, as refered to in the song. This is determined by what constellation corresponds with where the sun rises on the vernal equinox. (We are currently in the Age of Pisces) Who knew that rock musicians were so aware of astronomy?\n\nPrecession changes the time of year when the earth reaches it's perihelion which is the point where the earth is closest to the sun during its orbit around the sun. Presently we reach perihelion on about Jan. 3, which is during northern hemisphere winter. This has an effect on climate and is likely to be increasing the solar warming during winter while reducing it for summer in the northern hemisphere. Eleven thousand years ago the reverse was true. There is no doubt we are in a long term climate cycle that we are just beginning to understand. \n\nI doubt that the effect will be any more remarkable than in any other year. The cycle is so long (~22,000 years) that the rate of change is likely to insignificant. The one factor that is still not well understood is how these changes may create feedback systems in our climate that may not show up until many years after the changes. We will be moving the perihelion in the direction of having it during  the northern fall season, and since it has been about 20,000 years since the earth has had that position we don't have much of an idea how that will affect climate dynamics between the northern and southern hemisphere or if we will continue to see effects that may be delayed reactions to the change of precession over the last 5,500 years.\n\nCheck out the diagram at NOAA:                  Good question!!


why do i feel so bad weeks before i start my period?????????

Supplementing your diet with minerals/vitamins could help. I find that Calcium/Magnesium helps with back pain, cramps, sensitivity to sound and mood. Also try a B-50 complex, it helps with stress *(Warning it will turn your urine bright yellow, don't be alarmed). Also, if you are over 21 my mom always said having a drink of alcohol helps thin the blood and helps with cramps.. not sure if it's true but it will relax you.


Burning fat is all about using up more calories than you take in. If you eat more calories than your body uses throughout the day, these additional calories will be stored as body fat. To prevent a build up of body fat you need to either reduce your calorie intake or increase your daily activity levels - doing both will have the best effect on reducing body fat. The more fat you want to lose then the greater the amount of calories you have to burn off. This means exercise!.

Proactiv is something that i've been using for about 3 years now. My face used to be totally broken out all the time! After applying each treatment twice a day every day, I felt and looked great!

shud iran thinggy be such an issue..or is it BUSH play?

I'm not going to turn this into an anti or pro Bush diatribe (personally, I'm indifferent to him), but the Iran situation is indeed very serious, and it is not just Bush that thinks so.  France, Germany and Britain have been working on this for many years.  China and Russia are stake holders.  Even the Australia Group has issued an opinion.  What you're observing is simply more attention being paid to the matter by the media (don't forget the European Union has been working on this seriously since at least 2000, even before September 11).  Iran clearly wants nuclear weapons and has made overt threats to use them, which escalates the situation above a mere arms race.  Further, Iran has not been transparent with the program, which is a direct violation of an international treaty which the country signed on its own accord.  However, when the EU-3 first noticed that Iran had broken the treaty and bought the issue to international attention, the Iranians suddenly became indignant -- essentially casting asside an agreeement they had made with civilized society.   However, now the attention of the world's citizens is on Iran, I hope that the same level heads that have been working 'behind the scenes' continue to prevail.


can you tell me the causes of a gout arthritis?

Gout is a condition from an accumulation of uric acid in the body, which exists often as crystals once out of the blood.  If this uric acid accumulates in the joints, this will cause inflammation - which is arthritis.\n\nUric acid will accumulate either if there's an overproduction of it, or if your body is incapable getting rid of it.  The kidneys should be able to filter out the uric acid from the blood and then excrete it in the urine.  Any part of this process can break down, leading to a build-up of uric acid in the body and in the joints.

As long as your body is still growing, it is not too late to start.\nThere is more of a problem of starting too early.  I know that the trend is to start very very early, but many of those young girls who have now made it into adulthood have physical problems and all of them have horror stories.\nIf you are interested in competition, you might be better off waiting until almost high school to start.  Performances are always the best when the athlete “gets into the zone.”  The problem with very young girls is that their body is still growing rapidly and “the zone” keeps moving.

How can I access 1983 Philly Tribune archives?

The 1983 Philadelphia Tribune archives are on microfilm at the Philadelphia Free Library\n\nIf you live in the area you can visit the library. \n\nIf you have an exact citation you can ask your local library to request an ILL (interlibrary loan) photocopy of the article you want.\n\nIf you need to browse for a particular article and can not visit the library yourself, you can hire a researcher in Philadelphia to find the article for you. The best way to hire a researcher is to place a free ad in the Philadelphia CraigsList.\n\nGood luck!


One of the biggest misconceptions about the Moon is that its phases are caused by the Earth's shadow. The Earth's shadow causes eclipses, but it has nothing to do with phases. Rather, the phases of the Moon are produced by the alignment of the Moon and the Sun in the sky. \nThe orientation of Sun and Moon determines the phase of the Moon. At new moon, the angular distance of the sun and moon is small, less than a few degrees. At first quarter, when the moon is half full, the Moon lies 90 degrees east of the Sun. As an example, if you were to point to the setting sun with one arm and to the moon with the other, the angle between your arms would be 90 degrees. At full, the moon is 180 degrees from the sun and at last quarter, it is 90 degrees west of the sun. \n \n\nThe new moon is essentially invisible because it is between the earth and sun and therefore lost in the glare of the sun. Even on day 2 or 3 it is tough to spot the moon because it is just the tiniest sliver and still very close to the sun. The waxing crescent moon grows till it is about half full in the phase we call first quarter. From there it grows to full moon and then begins to shrink back to third quarter, waning crescent and finally back to new moon. \n\nThe first and last quarter moons mark the halfway points between the new moon and full moon. The first quarter moon is illuminated on the right hand side. The last quarter moon is illuminated on the left hand side. It seems conflicting to call a half full moon first of last quarter, but the quarter refers to the position of the moon in the sky, not it's phase. A quarter moon is one quarter of a full circle (90 degrees) away from the sun. \n\nThe lighted part of the Moon always points the way to the Sun. This means that a waxing crescent moon in the western sky at sunset has the lighted part on the right which is the direction of the Sun. The sequence of the lunar phases always proceeds with the lighted part of the Moon growing from right to left until the moon reaches full. After full moon, the light recedes from right to left until new moon. \n\nThe line boundary between dark and light on the Moon is called the terminator. It is rarely an even line because the surface of the Moon is not smooth. The terminator is closest to a straight line at first and last quarter. Librations affect exactly what portion of the face of the Moon is facing the Earth, during first and last quarter phase, the terminator's exact location may vary. This is illustrated when the terminator does not line up with the Moon's meridian at first and last quarter. In other words, you'd think that during first and last quarter when the Moon is half full, that the meridian (the imaginary line which runs from north to south on the Moon,) would be right on the terminator, but it isn't so. In fact the terminator can be almost 8 degrees off to either side of the meridian.

How many calories should a woman have each day if she is trying to lose 20 lbs in 3 months?

To lose 20 lbs in 3 months, that's about 2 pounds per week.  To do that safely, the best thing is to cut 500 calories a day from your diet and workout to burn an additional 500 calories per day.  That adds up to 1000 calories daily, which is 7000 weekly, or 2 pounds.


Why do application processes keep running on Windows XP after I've closed and no longer using the application

Because a portion of a program still remains in memory even after you close it out (if there is enough available extra memory)\n\nIt's the reason why when you launch a program for the first time it takes longer to launch than it does on subsequent relaunchings. After the first launch, a portion of it stays.\n\nUPDATE:\n\nThree ways:\n\nHit control-alt-delete to open the Widows Task Manager, go to the "Processes" tab, highlight the processes you want to end, then click the "End Process" button.\n\nOr....\n\nYou can either prevent the programs from launching in the first place by either not opening them before opening Chessbase, or by going in to msconfig (start>run>type in msconfig>startup tab) and preventing them from launching at startup.\n\nOr lastly, you could buy more RAM.


Will Roger Federer stay number 1 throughout 2006?

Barring injury, he is almost certain to remain #1 through the year. I expect him to win a minimum of one more major this year, and quite possibly all of them. \nWho is around to challenge for #1? No one below Federer has as good a chance to win the majors. Nadal might win the French again, but probably not Wimbledon or the U.S. Roddick is a possible winner at the U.S., but not likely at Wimbledon and certainly not at the French. Hewitt has a chance for the French and U.S., but not Wimbledon. Nalbandian has a good chance at the U.S., but probably won't win at Wimbledon or the French.\nThe only person likely to win on all surfaces is Federer. I cannot see anyone else challenging him this year.

what is the correct spelling of Hammurabi king of babylonia 1792-1750BC??

None of these spellings are correct.  Remember, he was king of Babylonia, they didn't speak or write in English...they had never even heard of such a language.  Hammurabi is only a way to phoenetically represent how his name sounds (and that is only a guess as noone today can tell you how his name was actually pronounced).  Unfortunately, my keyboard dosn't contain Babylonian keys, or I would have written the correct spelling of his name.  Keep up the quest for truth!!!

my web site www.lopamudramatrimonials.com. how can i make it popular without expending money ?

Well, A very cheap idea is to first make it an intercity thing. Sounds weird, huh? Well, just send out some flyers about what your website is about. SHouldn't cost too much for many flyers.\n\nI would also suggest asking your friends to spread the message out, tell their friends how fun it is, then continue to make your website kick-ass so the word will continue to spread from friend to friend. Eventually, you'll have people talking about through the world wide web, and then you're pretty much set.\n\nIf you blog, talk in a forum, in a chatroom, etc., it's pretty easy to post a cool design for your website while you talk, so people will repeatedly see the ad in your signature. They will eventually check it out for kicks.\n\nYour best bet? Start with your friends, and when you have experience with updating your website and continually giving the people new stuff, then you'll want to address it to the people on the internet.


What will turn to ice faster, warm or cold water?

Cold Water. - Most of the time. \nI have tried and tested this before (Tap Water). The hot water normaly takes about 10 minutes longer. When using Tempratures like 30 degrees and 70 degrees this will begin to vary and warm water might start freezing faster than cold water. \n\nWarm water can in fact sometimes freeze faster than Cold water but it very much depends on the conditions.\n\nWhat you are thinking of is the Mpemba effect. This could be due to a number of factors including but not limited to Evaporation (less water needed to be freezed), Dissolved Gasses and Convection.\n\nFor a lengthy but thorough explanation see the link below.\n(Very reliable references) \nhttp://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/hot_water.html

As far as the username is concerned though, they clearly state that you can't change it.  The only think you can do is start a new account.

how tcp provides reliablility using erro control ?

A number of mechanisms help provide the reliability TCP guarantees. Each of these is described briefly below. \n\nChecksums. All TCP segments carry a checksum, which is used by the receiver to detect errors with either the TCP header or data. \n\nDuplicate data detection. It is possible for packets to be duplicated in packet switched network; therefore TCP keeps track of bytes received in order to discard duplicate copies of data that has already been received.2 \n\nRetransmissions. In order to guarantee delivery of data, TCP must implement retransmission schemes for data that may be lost or damaged. The use of positive acknowledgements by the receiver to the sender confirms successful reception of data. The lack of positive acknowledgements, coupled with a timeout period (see timers below) calls for a retransmission. \n\nSequencing. In packet switched networks, it is possible for packets to be delivered out of order. It is TCP's job to properly sequence segments it receives so it can deliver the byte stream data to an application in order. \n\nTimers. TCP maintains various static and dynamic timers on data sent. The sending TCP waits for the receiver to reply with an acknowledgement within a bounded length of time. If the timer expires before receiving an acknowledgement, the sender can retransmit the segment.

Whatis the best way to deal with gossips and rumors?

Ignore the content, but note how these people are reacting to the information.. \nExample: " I heard (this person) left her dog out all night and it was keeping all the neighbors awake and the whole neighborhood was mad the next morning and I can't blame them"\nWho cares if it was true or not?..except the person who was saying it in a demeaning way .. what did they really say?  ( If you live next to me and have a dog, keep it quiet during the night)\nGossip and rumors are only informational in this specific aspect, and no other.


did God create man? or did man create God?

I'll say some divine construct created the universe and as a by-product man, and afterwards man created "God" as to have a defined reference point for all things unexplainable, and as the ultimate "source".\n\nBy the way other responders, is it Christian to attack your fellows, just because they have questions? I don't the person asking is illiterate, but maybe there's some ignorance hovering around looking to strike at that which is different.\n\nLove and compassion are best lessons brought to Earth, best that you keep those closest to your heart and behavior. Wouldn't hurt for you to bow and ask for some humbleness.\nCheers!


Can anyone tell me about if deportation waivers (the I 212) really work?

They work, sometimes.  They require more than a good lawyer as you have to PROVE hardship because of the separation.  I emphasize 'prove' because just arguing financial or mental stress will not help at all.  A sympathetic agent is the best you can hope for.\nAlso, if your husband was illegal for less than 12 months he is only excluded for 3 years; in that case it might be easier to just wait it out.  I highly recommend this option as ridiculous as it sounds but when you add up the length of time it takes to get paperwork ready-filed-confirmed-approved/denied, the frustration and the expense... it might be worth to just wait. \nWhen you submit the I-212, make sure you include LOTS of supporting documentation, including a psychological evaluation if possible.

what is an operative paradigm. ( Business research methods)?

It means the model or base assumption under which the business (or any other continuing enterprise) operates.  It can be unconsciously adopted, that is, not recognized by those founding or running the business.  \n\nThe phrase is also used in fields other than business.


What drugs do I need to take to cure Chlomidia?

Chlamydia is right now the most common STD in the United States (1 million new cases per year).  It will need to be diagnosed by a physician first (any family practice, internal medicine dr. will do) who will then prescribe an antibiotic (azithromycin, doxycycline or some derivitive thereof).  Take the meds exactly as prescribed and don't wait to get treated.  Chlamydia can cause PID in women (a serious infection that can cause infertility) as well as serious infections in men.

I need a laptop for under $1000, got any ideas?

Try ubid.com if you are lucky, you should get a mid-end laptop under 1000.  Otherwise, try Fry's Electronics.  You're better off with 2 operating system for gamings, make 2 partitions and install 2 O/S on each of them.  98 is best for games, in my opinion.


what are the recall type of objective tests?

Recall is simply drawing from memory to answer a question. This is often done by memorization on the students part and is tested using multiple choice or a simple form of questioning. It is a lower order thinking skill than say-comprehension.


Could be a municiple or gov't bond or note, or private debt instrument issued by a corporation, like GM, as opposed to an "equity, like a stock.\n   It is a marketable debt obligation that is not predominantly speculative in nature. "Investment" grade is a rating, and therefore, the instrument is registered and offered and sold pursuant to SEC rules, and can be sold with reasonable promptness at a price that corresponds to its fair value.


first, obtain a copy of your credit report so you know what bills are outstanding.  Then, pay off those bills!  Next, get a credit card.  Believe it or not credit cards (revolving accounts) make your credit rise more quickly than anything.  But you have to pay them off on time every time!


How would you react to this famous speech by Keith Green?

Some Keith Green's songs brought me to tears. I think he left us too soon also. I haven't gone overseas but that speech did make me more aware of the call. It was nice to hear (read) it again, thanks.


Infrared Filter Material - Absorb / reflect IR & allow visible light to pass.?

sure, what you want is an IR filter, which you can pretty easily get from any optics supplier.  here are a wide range of choices from melles-griot, but they're kinda expensive.  however they are quality professional-grade filters.\n\nhttp://shop.mellesgriot.com/products/optics/optics.asp?plga=051408&CatID=10222&mscssid=&Page=All\n\nhere are some cheaper versions with slightly less clean spectra, but probably still functional depending on your needs:\nhttp://shop.mellesgriot.com/products/optics/optics.asp?plga=085680&CatID=1023&mscssid=\n\nyou can probably get some for cheaper if you hunt around on the web.  just be careful you aren't getting the opposite of what you want - a stop-visible/pass-IR filter, which is used a lot in infrared photography.


If you could look like/have a physical feature of a celebrity, who would it be and why?

I'd go with Julia Roberts mouth.\n\nYou can eat a lot with that mouth. You can confidently say "To eat you better!" when asked why you have such a big mouth. Man I'd like to have Julia Roberts mouth just to eat a whole watermelon.


Has the U.S. war against Iraq created more terrorists?

Everybody has his right to express opinion. There are critics who say A, there are others who say B. I personally think war is wrong, terror is wrong. War brings more terror. Terror brings more war. Please focus on trying to end both war and terror, blaming one another as the source of problems won't do any good.


I am asthmatic and my fiancee is asthmatic, what is the possibility of our children being asthmatic?

Asthma is more a function of a overtaxed immune system overreacting to allergens. It has been defeated in many people with grape seed extract. Plus getting rid of the toxic chemicals in your house. Like Lysol, Dawn Dish soap, Lysterine etc. all of these contain irritants like Formaldehyde. Good products are easy to get from companies like Melaluca (we have been getting products from them for 10 years).


Any chance Intel producing chips, which can load windows instantaneously, like switchin on and off a switch?

Its not possible.  One of the most important aspects of a computer is called the BIOS (the Basic Input Output System).  All the hardware settings such as the system clock, device settings, boot sequence, etc. are stored there. The first thing that happens when you switch on your computer is called the POST (Power on Self Test).  During POST, the BIOS determines whether all the computer hardware runs correctly or not.  If there are some hardware issues, the computer may not boot into Windows at all (e.g. for a faulty hard drive).  This lets you know whether you have any hardware issues.\n\nIf you eliminate POST, the system has no way of determining the hardware status.  The BIOS is more close to hardware than an OS such as Windows.  \n\nPerhaps for your idea to work, it might be required to change today's computer architectures.

What's an easy way to turn my refrigerator into a time machine?

Take a battery operated clock - preferrably one with day and year - and attach it to the outside door of the refrigerator.  Insert leftovers.  At this point your frige is a time machine.  Attach to wrist if you wish. To go forward in time. step inside refrigerator...( leave door open) wait one hour. Eat leftovers while waiting. When you come out  you will have jumped one hour into the future.


Does any know if a college course syllabus is a legally binding contract?  No disclaimer was added.?

I doubt it.  If it is, then I really need to leave this country.  Ridiculous.\n\nIf there is a dispute about something, it seems like this would provide good evidence about what was presented if you are registering a complaint with your college.  This seems like a college, not a legal issue.

Many archaea colonize extreme environments.\nThey include hyperthermophiles, sulfur-metabolizing thermo-\nphiles, extreme halophiles and methanogens. Because extrem-\nophilic microorganisms have unusual properties, they are a\npotentially valuable resource in the development of novel bio-\ntechnological processes. Despite extensive research, however,\nthere are few existing industrial applications of either archaeal\nbiomass or archaeal enzymes. \nCultivation methods, recent achievements in genomics, which are of key importance for the devel-\nopment of new biotechnological tools, and the application of\nwild-type biomasses, engineered microorganisms, enzymes\nand specific metabolites in particular bioprocesses of indus-\ntrial interest.\n\nA major limitation to the industrial application of archaeal en-\nzymes and metabolites is the low productivity of the fermenta-\ntion processes as a result of low growth rates and low biomass\nyields. To overcome these limitations, attention has been fo-\ncused on studying the physiology of archaea of biotechnological \ninterest and on designing bioreactors and bioprocesses that\nincrease productivity. Because of the unconventional environ-\nmental conditions needed for the cultivation of extremophiles,\ncontamination problems are minimal. Therefore, a continuous\nculture approach has been widely adopted.\n\nhttp://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:ZMgRQbu0KPEJ:www.biotechinstitute.org/resources/pdf/yw14_2.pdf+applications+of+archaea+in+biotech&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3&client=firefox-a  for more info


how can you stop girls flirting won your guy?

You can't.  But you can make your guy so happy that he won't think twice about the girls who are flirting with him!


Liberals! People who disrespect the USA. Hispanics who don't identify as white.(Unless, of course, they are black.) People who talk loudly on cell phones in public as though anyone wants to hear a one-sided, BS conversation. Also, people who talk on cell phones while driving. People who park front-end out. Women who date only black guys. Rap music. People who don't identify with a religion. People who dare bring infants into a movie theater or talk out loud during the film. People who belong to fraternities or sororities (no ndividuality!) People who insert LOL in e-mails or postings. People who say "axe", instead of ask. Preferential treatment based on race, ethnicity or sexual disorientation. All forms of political correctness. There ought to be a law!

Would you join an online depression group?

I probably would. Might help you discussing and gaining opinions and answers on personal stuff...


The answer by vanessitacool is right on the money.  This is a straight forward situation where you really need to walk away.  But based on the background in your question, I sense that you may have a little trouble understanding why.  So I will offer a little bit more.\n\nConsider that you may be only hearing what you want to hear.  The fact that he said that he 'cared for you' and that 'it wasn't working'.  Sound contradictory when taken as sentence fragments, but in reality they are part of a much bigger communication context.  I suspect that if you didn't just listen for what you want to hear, the message would sound alot more clear cut.\n\nAlso when he says that he is ready to try again and start over, that may just be driven by some alterior motive (sex).  Men will say/do almost anything for that, and given that he is much older it is very conceivable that he is well versed in maniuplating younger more impressionable and vulnerable women.\n\nDon't be a victim of these games.  You deserve better.

If your going to be a doctor what collage is best?

I recommend a college that will lead you into a D.O. certification rather than the M.D.  D.O. is Doctor of Osteopathy, and I have found the D.O.'s to be much better than MD's.  They seem to be more interested in preventative care, and in finding root problems instead of just fixing the symptoms.  They look at the whole person.\n\nThis seems to me to be a better way of doing medicine.

German- A good topic/reading for individualized study?

Try the short stories of Brecht or post DDR lit like Brussig. Benn is a poet. Choose prose and it will be easier to research. Find an anthology and choose an author. Or choose a topic and find authors who deal with the topic. Love, for example, crime. You also might see if film can be brought in.


If someone with HIV urinates in a car seat does the seat need to be destroyed?

HIV is found in low concentration in urine, but the risk of transmission in this form is negligible. Compare this to saliva of someone with HIV. There is viritually no risk of transmission through saliva, and the same is true with urine.\n\nIf my answer was helpful, please remember to consider selecting it as the best answer in 24 hours. :-)

why do we have to have names,if somebody has the same name?

In all actuality all we are are numbers. Nobody really cares what your name is when they are getting money from you and when the government looks at you.\n  To put yourself out there by helping people, volunteering, spending time with your brother or sister, and/or having a child is when you really have a name. Now think would you rather be a number all your life or be a name?

I would start by figuring out what it is he likes. And then go from there. Or if you really want to make him see how much you care, figure out what he likes to do that you may not always want to do. I am not talking anything physical, an example would be like if you really hated video games, try to get one he would like, and then try to have fun with him with it. It may not be what you want to do, but it may mean alot to him. Just an idea.


Yes, lichens are used as a bio-indicator for atmospheric sulphur dioxide:\nI quote:\n"Lichens are widely used as environmental indicators or bio-indicators. If air is very badly polluted with sulphur dioxide there may be no lichens present, just green algae may be found. If the air is clean, shrubby, hairy and leafy lichens become abundant. A few lichen species can tolerate quite high levels of pollution and are commonly found on pavements, walls and tree bark in urban areas. The most sensitive lichens are shrubby and leafy while the most tolerant lichens are all crusty in appearance. Since industrialisation many of the shrubby and leafy lichens such as Ramalina, Usnea and Lobaria species have very limited ranges, often being confined to the parts of Britain with the purest air such as northern and western Scotland and Devon and Cornwall."\n\nThey're also edible, but having tried them I can report that they are not especially tasty!!!!


what is a diatomic molecule composed of two different elements?

Diatomic molecules are molecules formed of exactly two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. Diatomic elements are those that almost exclusively exist as diatomic molecules, known as homonuclear diatomic molecules, in their natural elemental state, not chemically bonded with other elements. Examples include H2 and O2. Earth's atmosphere is comprised almost completely (99%) of diatomic oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2).\n\nOxygen also exists as the triatomic molecule ozone (O3).\n\nThe diatomic elements are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Astatine is so rare in nature (its most stable isotope has a half-life of only 8.1 hours) that it is usually not considered.\n\nThe bond in a homonuclear diatomic molecule is non polar and fully covalent.\n\nExamples of heteronuclear diatomic molecules include carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO).

Eid Mubarak means 'blessed Eid.'  Muslims have 2 majors holidays: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Aha.  Eid al-Fitr occurs the day after Ramadan ends.  Eid al-Aha occurs at the end of the hajj (pilgrimage) rituals.  Other popular greetings are "Eid Kareem" and "Eid Sayeed."  Feel free to email me with any other Qs on Islam. :o)

What does "soviet" mean in the name of The Soviet Union"?

it's a russian word that means "council" - used originally to refer to local community councils of workers.  these were (supposedly) regarded as the fundamental government entity under a communist system.\n\ninteresting, isn't it, that the form of government that was in theory all about putting power into the hands of local people and everyday workers has almost-universally has meant huge, absolutist, centralized power?  makes you wonder how communism would've turned out if the guys in charge weren't powermongering jerks.

In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture. According to Hesiod, she was born when Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw the severed genitals into the ocean which began to churn and foam about them. From the aphros ("sea foam") arose Aphrodite, and the sea carried her to either Cyprus or Cythera. Hence she is often referred to as Kypris and Cytherea. Homer calls her a daughter of Zeus and Dione. \nAfter her birth, Zeus was afraid that the gods would fight over Aphrodite's hand in marriage so he married her off to the smith god Hephaestus, the steadiest of the gods. He could hardly believe his good luck and used all his skills to make the most lavish jewels for her. He made her a girdle of finely wrought gold and wove magic into the filigree work. That was not very wise of him, for when she wore her magic girdle no one could resist her, and she was all too irresistible already. She loved gaiety and glamour and was not at all pleased at being the wife of sooty, hard-working Hephaestus. \n\nAphrodite loved and was loved by many gods and mortals. Among her mortal lovers, the most famous was perhaps Adonis. Some of her sons are Eros, Anteros, Hymenaios and Aeneas (with her Trojan lover Anchises). She is accompanied by the Graces. \n\nHer festival is the Aphrodisiac which was celebrated in various centers of Greece and especially in Athens and Corinth. Her priestesses were not prostitutes but women who represented the goddess and sexual intercourse with them was considered just one of the methods of worship. Aphrodite was originally an old-Asian goddess, similar to the Mesopotamian Ishtar and the Syro-Palestinian goddess Ashtart. Her attributes are a.o. the dolphin, the dove, the swan, the pomegranate and the lime tree. \n\nIn Roman mythology Venus is the goddess of love and beauty.

The specific procedure has been given; so let's see a bit of theory:\nfirst of all, this equation IS NOT of first degree as it may appear at a first sight, because the x appears at the denominator of a fraction. In fact this is a FRACTIONAL equation.\nFractional equations need some specific skill and some specific additional attention.\n\nSpecific skills:\nDealing with fractional expressions (operating with polynomials which appear both at the numerator and at the denominator of a fraction, which also involves finding GCD between polynomials and dividing/multiplicating polynomials).\n\nIn this case the only denominator is a x, so the task is not so difficult\n\nAdditional attentions needed:\nbefore going on finding the solution for your equation, it is best practice to set the existence conditions for it. What is it? Simply, you must find the values that set to 0 each denominator involving your variable, and state that such values are not acceptable as solutions for the equation.\n\nIn this case the only existence condition is x != 0 \n(" x not equal to 0 ": on the paper use the right simbol for "not equal to")\n\nIf you ever found 0 as a solution, you should mark it as "non acceptable".\n\nWhen all solutions are non acceptable, the equation is in fact impossible in R
