I want to ask that sometimes my heart beats very faster without any reason im 19 yrs old is it heart problem?

I dealt with a similar thing in college.  My heart irregularly papitated and it really disturbed me.  It would race up for no reason.  \n\nThings I did to reverse the problem:\n\n-Reduced my caffeine intake (caffeine has the potential to make your heart race)\n-I had an EKG study on my heart...it was normal\n-I got plenty of sleep at night\n-Realizing that the majority of my irregular heartbeats were contributed from Anxiety. \n-I began to pray for wisdom with this problem.\n\nAs for feeling your heartbeat after you eat, you will.  When you eat, your body has a lot of gas exchange during the whole digestive process.  The same gas that will make you belch or fart "pass gas" after a meal.  I noticed a lot of pressure in my heart area and discovered that the problem wasn't my heart, it was gas.  I suggest taking a TUMs or some kind of anti-acid to help reduce the gas, which should reduce the pressure around your heart after meals.  Lots of soft drinks, carbohydrates, junk food will bring on gas.  Try to stay away from those foods....I know, that's a hard thing to do if you're in college.  Junk food was everywhere when I was in college.  \n\nAbove all, if you have health insurance, use it.  Go see your doctor and ask him what's best.  He'll be able to tell you what anti-acid medicine you should take.  \n\nDo you have a lot of acid reflux?  \n\nI hope my advice helps ease things a little better.  \n\nGood luck and remember...I'm not an expert.  What I say is just a suggestion from past experiences.  If you're that worried about the heart beats, go see a doctor.


a person stands outside a room where there is switchboard which has  three switches?

Switch on the first switch, leave it on for a minute, then turn it off. Switch on the second switch, leaving the third untouched - and go into the room. If the light is off, touch the lightbulb to see if it's warm. If it is, that means the first switch controlled the bulb. If the light is on, that means the second switch controls the bulb. If the light is off, and the bulb is cool, that means the third switch controls it :)

What's the best broadband speed meter for checking my ISP's performance?

With out any doubt, the best one I've come across is called tcp/IQ. This is a free service out of Australia that monitors your upload and download connections as often as you like during the day and it keeps a database of data for you and shows you graphical information for the last 24 hours, the last week, and the last year. \n\nIt really came through for me when my service fell below the level I purchased. I was able to document my claims and got a better response to fix it. It's called LineSpeed Meter by tcp/IQ\n\nYou should definitely check it out.

would you please explain me the difference between love and want?

To put it quite simply... Would you be willing to die for someone you "wanted" ?  I have never met anyone who "wanted" someone enough to put their own life ahead of the person desired.\nLove means you are at least willing to do so.

What questions should a personal trainer ask a client in a consultation?

Focus on safety and effectiveness. Having given the PAR-Q is an important first step. After that, measure his/her blood pressure, and resting heart rate. \n\nBesides that, there are probably 20 questions you could ask. First of all, ask about their goal. Then, ask about training history, family history, what type of job they have, what activities they enjoy, how much time they have per week to train with you, questions about their lifestyle, nutrition, etc.\n\nAll of these variables, and perhaps others should go into designing a safe and effective program.\n\nGood luck!

Describe your relationship with God...and which faith are you?

I am a non-denominational, right-wing conservative, born-again, fundemetalist(in a nice way) Christian.\n\nI knew there had to be a God. But was this God personal, or some force? In 1971, I had a personal encounter after asking Christ to forgive my sins and fill me with His Spirit. This was at the peak of the Jesus People movement. (yes, I am an old Jesus Freak) From that moment on, I knew that He was a personal God. From that point on I have been trying to teach the Bible to whoever was curious or searching.

Why don't people realize that bad spelling and screwed up grammar make you look like a total idiot?

Well, internet speak aside, most people don't know they can't spell or speak properly.\nAt 18 years old, most of the kids I went to school with couldn't spell or read properly.  And Even I, someone who is always trying to be gramatically correct, and I am said to have a fantastic vocabulary, but even I sit down to type and realize words I use every day in speach, I can't spell.\nThe answer is poor education.  I swear to you I learned more from the travel channel than I ever learned in my history class(which was taught by one of the schools many coaches in teaching positions.)


How do i talk to a guy who is too serious and defensive all the time? i have a crush on him?

just be yourself, if he doesnt like you for who you are then that's his problem and he's probably missing out on someone great ^_^ if you wanna know how to talk to a serious person, then talk seriously, and act like you might be interested, but be casual about it at the same time.


Is culture more powerfull than religion?

I knew a woman from a Muslim country who left her religion, Islam, and became a Christian.  I am also a Christian but the way we carry out our faith is totally different.  The way we pray, prepare our foods, dress and interact with men are totally influenced by our respective cultures.  So even though I think it is impossible to totally separate culture and religion, I have seen that culture is harder to change.


How do they figure out how many points a team is favored by?

Odds are set by Vegas in an attempt to get half the gambling population to wager on one team and half to wager on the other. It is not meant to predict the outcome of the game. A great case in point is this year's Superbowl, wherein both teams are very evenly matched (good QBs, good RBs, decent WRs, great defenses, neutral field). But public perception is that somehow Pittsburgh is much better; Vegas knows this and knows they can milk 3 1/2 points worth of bets (millions of dollars) out of over-eager (and, IMO, misguided) Pittsburgh betters. The public is buying into a LOT of Pittsburgh hype (i.e. the #6 AFC team is better than NFC's #1) and Vegas will probably have the last laugh.


is it normal to have sex dreams about your best friend-gf-i am a girl 2??!!?

I think it is normal to have dreams about anything.  what could potentially be abnormal would be your reaction to those dreams.  What you have to do is realize it is a dream.  Don't over-react.  But you may want to explore your attraction to women.  It is possible that your subliminal is telling you something.


Why do you think that most parents drink and do drug and abuse there kids?

I don't think "most" do that, but for those that do, it's because they're stuck in a dysfunctional pattern. They get so mired in their own addictions that they don't think clearly, and their priorities become all messed up. Often their own parents did the same thing to them, so they never learned any other way.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com


How many glass bottles do I need to make a glass music instrument that covers two octaves?

You need twenty-four. Each octave consists of 5 notes with their corresponding sharp plus 2 without, amounting to 12 notes. For example, C-scale: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B. If you want two octaves, double that. A twenty-fifth bottle is needed if you want the third major note (here, the high C).\n\nTry using glass soda bottles or Perrier if you're splurging, but they all should be the same kind to make it easier. And if you find ones with twist-off tops, obviously that would be nice for stopping leaks.

what is the best way to get money for college?

The first thing you need to know about money for college is that there are two kinds. Free and not free. In other words there are loans and scholarships. You want scholarships first and whatever isn't paid for by those can be covered with loans. To get scholarships some people think you have to be a "straight A" student or an exceptional athlete. Although those things do help, they aren't always necessary. You may have certain unique talents and abilities that can earn you scholarships regardless of your grades. Try visiting www.fastweb.com. You can use this site to make a profile and they will e-mail you scholarship opportunities that apply specifically to you! Two kids from my high school won a scholarship for making their prom outfits out of duct tape! True story! Not all of the scholarships are that crazy but again, they don't necessarily relate to grades or sports. If you do have good grades and/or play sports; great! Use that in your profile and they will send you opportunities that apply directly to your talents. It is totally free and there is no limit as to how many scholarships you can apply for and even win. So try to pay for everything you can with scholarships and then you may need to fill in some gaps with loans. Your next stop: www.fasfa.com. There you will apply for financial aid. You will need your most recent W-2 and your parents help when you apply. If you don't have parents or you are over 24 years of age you get to skip the parent section. This site may reward you with some scholarships as well but it's usually mostly government loans. That is why I would suggest applying for dozens of scholarships first. Good luck finding the money and good luck once you start school. Remember; for every hour spent in class you should spend two hours studying!

will the olympic winter games coverage, show any of the events live? or will all be docu drama on ice dancers?

First of all, I'm glad to see that somebody else besides me would prefer the olympics to be a sporting event, and not a biography on obscure athletes.  I can't stand to watch the olympics, because they never actually show any sports.\n\nBut... to answer your questions, it won't be all focused on ice skaters in mini skirts.  There will also be advertisements every 4.5 minutes.

How can you convert 1+csc(theta)/cot(theta)+cos(theta) into sec(theta)?

Basics first:\ncosec(theta) = 1/sin(theta)\ncot(theta) = cos(theta)/sin(theta)\nsec(theta)= 1/cos(theta)\n\nNow, the given expression:\nNumerator = 1+cosec(theta) = (sin(theta)+1)/sin(theta)   \nDenominator = cot(theta)+cos(theta) = cos(theta)[1+sin(theta)]/sin(theta)\n\nDividing Numerator by Denominator, we get:\n1/cos(theta) = sec(theta)\n\nThere you have it!

Can anyone find the translation for my name Christina in the cherokee language?

Although there is no actual translation for the name Christina in Cherokee, if one translates the original Greek meaning of Christina into Cherokee you have a translation (spelled phonetically), Galonedv  Ayidohi.\n\nHere is how it works out:  Christina and Christian are derivations from the Greek meaning Christ Bearer (see first link).  In Cherokee Christ is Ga lo ne dv and Bearer is A yi do hi.  (Follow the two links at Cherokee.org to hear the names pronounced as well as to see these two words in Cherokee writing.)\n\nYou can download a Cherokee font free at http://www.cherokee.org/extras/Downloads/Font/CherokeeV1.zip.\n\nHope this helps.

What is the difference between Dead Sea Salt and Sea Salt?

The mineral content of the Dead Sea is significantly different from that of ocean water, consisting of approximately 53% magnesium chloride, 37% potassium chloride and 8% sodium chloride (table salt) with the remainder comprised of various trace elements.\n\nThe concentration of SO4 ions is very low, and the bromine ions concentration is the highest of all waters on Earth. Chlorides neutralize most of the calcium ions in the Dead Sea and its surroundings. While in other seas NaCl is 97%, in the Dead Sea the quantity of the NaCl is only 12-18 percent. The water temperature goes from 19 °C in February to 31 °C in August.\n\nThe water of the Dead Sea contains 21 minerals including magnesium, calcium, bromine and potassium. Twelve of these are found in no other sea or ocean, and some are recognized for imparting a relaxed feeling, nourishing the skin, activating the circulatory system and for easing rheumatic discomfort and metabolic disorders. Comparison between the chemical composition of the Dead Sea to other lakes and oceans show that the salt's concentration in the Dead Sea is 31.5% (the salinity fluctuates somewhat). Because of its unusually high concentration of salt, anyone can float in the Dead Sea easily because of natural buoyancy. In this the Dead Sea is similar to the Great Salt Lake in Utah, in the United States.

For all you political geniuses out their who think they know.?

In a brief nutshell, today's Republicans (the Good Old Party, GOP) are characterised by a want for 'smaller' government, a more agile (not necissarily bigger) military, and a connection with (usually religious) blue-color 'everyman' workers.  They believe in a government that is reflective of overarching, 'home grown' family values, as can be best seen in their "Contract With America". Democrats are more for creating a social welfare society, and believe that goverment should play a more active role in daily life (though not necissarily intrusive).  Many people brand this party as being 'liberal', which is actually a fairly new designation considering many Democrats (also known then as Dixiecrats) were opposed to 'liberal' civil rights reforms in the 1960s.  Further, whereas Republicans target typically older citizens, Democrats tend to lean towards younger, educated professionals (for example yuppies) and are a favorite on college campuses.  Unfortunately, in today's America politics has become frieghteningly divisive.  We can't even have a hurricane (I cite Katrina) without people pulling out 'Repbulican this' or 'Democrat that'.  Further, the two parties aren't helping the matter either.  Whenever someone does something wrong (For example a Republican President or Democratic governor), it is suddenly the fault of the entire party, and not just that one person.  You seem educated enough to visit each party's website and read their platform.  Skip over anything with the word 'Iraq' or 'terror' in it (because these are in the spotlight, and are likely to be uselessly full of propogand) and instead read your opinions on issues that effect your daily life, such as public education, health care and taxes.  I think you (and many other people) would be surprised at how much the two parties actually agree on, but with different routes.

does an employer have to give reason for firing an emplyee?

You need to check with your local workforce commission. It does vary by state. Some states have "employment at will" clauses like Texas, Fl and several others. \n\nBut if you feel like you were wrongfully terminated. Depending on the size of the comapny, even if the state has an "employment at will" clause you can still sue or collect unemployment. \n\nGet with your local workforce comission. That is the best advice.

what are the advantages to cloning and disavantages?

Disadvantages: People will deem clones to have no souls and use them in immoral ways.\n\nAdvantages: None.\n\nI can see no benefit to the actual cloning of a human being. The benefit comes from the knowledge gained from cloning. Once we have the ability to clone a human being, we can specialize in cloning just the parts that we need.\n\nImagine a person with lungs and a heart damaged from disease or an accident. Doctors can clone just the heart and lungs from the patient's own DNA and transplant them. No waiting for donors and no organ rejection.\n\nHow about cloning gallons of untainted blood as needed? No more need for donors, storage, or disease testing. Even rare blood types can be cloned as needed.


what is better, an AMD 64 processor or Intel pentium D?  Why is 64 bit better than 32 bit, or is it?

But the programs have to run at 64b to take advantage of this feature\n\nat this moment, there are not many programs written for 64b, you can get a windows beta version, or some linux distros like ubuntu, that are 64b compatable.\n\nhope this helps


should ronald reagan administration be blamed for the national debt?

Is this a homework question?\n\nReagan did run up the national debt with his 'trickle-down' economics ideas. But the Clinton years erased all the debt, and we were actually left with a surplus.\n\nBut then Bush came along and squandered it all away, and saddled us with a record debt - over 8 TRILLION dollars.

Why are Church's failing to reach people today?

Because more and more people are moving towards a better light and learning individualism.  People are beginning to understand that religions were old governments that were there to govern and supress people from their individualism through fear.  ex:..(God Fearing Christian).  \n\nChurches allow people to express their selves but they limit them in doing so, expecially if they were to follow it "religiously".\n\nPeople are seeing that we, as a "species" must evolve before we crumble.\n\nCameron L also has a great answer.  Very well put!\n\n:)\nPeace

im trying 2 find a sport dat i wud enjoy.. help~~?

i forgot the name of the sport but its premise is to throw a frisbee into a waste receptacle in a park\nand there is a lineup of these receptacles similar to a golf course and you can compete in groups or 1 on 1 the object is to complete the course with the minimal amount of tosses or throws. and as with all major sports there is normally a big party afterwards involving alcholic beverages during and after the game. much fun to be had


i get headache at least 3 times a week,what can i do to prevent that?

Are you getting daily, vigorous exercise - enough to work up a good sweat? That is the first place I'd start. Assuming that, are you eating properly? (cutting out sugar, chemicals, etc...) Allergies can cause severe headaches. Are you enjoying life? Do you make an effort to have at least one or two good friends? \n\nIf all of that is in order, maybe you should look into acupuncture. It has worked miracles for many, many people (although it doesn't work at all for some). I love having acupuncture! I have it once a week for general health purposes and it relaxes me and alleviates whatever pain I might be feeling. (but I'm also doing all the other stuff I listed)\n\nGood luck.


im 18 i want to get a breast reduction.  should i go?

If you are wanting to do this, go for it.  Consult with a doctor about all the pros and cons.  I have never heard of anyone regretting that they did it.  Usually they are much happier since it often affects their health,  comfort, ability to exercise and self esteem.  Good luck and let me know what you decide.  I am with you all the way.


Actually, contrary to popular belief, most astronomers do NOT stay up all night. In some cases one does (typically if you go to an observatory), but when you are observing with radio telescope arrays or satellites you can essentially e-mail in your observatons and then sit back and watch TV while they're being done. (You can't just send an text e-mail with your requests, you have to work with some fairly complex software to generate the observing information.)\n\nMost of the time for astonomers is spent back at their home institution in front of a computer. That is where all the information from telescopes, satellites or whatnot are analyzed using a wide variety of specialized software packages. That data analysis almost always takes a lot longer than the actual observations.\n\nThen you have to write it all up and show how your data is either just darn interesting, or fits with an established theory, or - if you're lucky - doesn't fit with an established theory.\n\nBut the process for doing this can take months or years. Rarely is anyone in modern science, not just astonomy, working alone. You need to get input and help from your colleagues (and help them when they are taking the lead in writing up papers).\n\nYou need to send the paper in to be printed, realizing that if it is in a hot field it had better be old news by the time the actual print copy appears. You need to send your finished paper out to friends and others in the same sub-field. Post it one electronic document-servers for astronomy and physics. And also go to either specialised or general astronomy conferences. The American Astronomical Society has two big conferences a year. At the confernes you need to meet other people and start to cross connect information as well as promote your own ideas.\n\nLet's see, you also have to write grants. Getting grants for telescope or satellite time is often not that hard. You have to be able to scientifically justify your observations and don't get everything, but it is not terribly difficult to build up more data than you can use in a couple of years. The hard past --- and this is critical --- is that it is much harder to get grant money. If you are a postdoc you may need a lot of grant money just for your salary.\n\nOn top of that, many astronomers have to do something else. Often it is to teach a couple of classes at a university. Or, if you are working at some place like the National Radio Astronomy Observatory you need to work on the various software packages and routines that you and others use to process and analyze data.\n\nAnd on top of that you need a job. My own experience was more or less typical (I was a radio/X-ray astronomer for about a decade after grad school).\n\nAfter college there were 4 more years of grad school in physics (about half of all astronmers have physics degrees). I actually finished slightly faster than some. Then I had two 1-year teaching positions as a Visiting Professor. After that I got a 2-3 year postdoc at Penn State. It turned out to last for 6 years, except that wasn't obvious at the time and except for one year I spent a lot of time looking for a permanent position. I got one, finally, and went the astronomy group at Fermilab outside of Chicago.\n\nNote that by this time others that I had known in college, even some slow ones, had houses and were well established into careers. Boring ones, but careers none the less. We (myself + wife + kid) were still renting and while my salary was okay, it wasn't particually impressive for the amount of effort that had gone into the whole process.\n\nAnd I ended up not liking the work at Fermilab a whole lot (turns out I had a brain tumor - but that's another story).\n\nSo after 2 years at Fermi I, very, very reluctantly left science for various computer and technical writing jobs with various business entities. I make more money, do a lot less work, and still at times regret having to leave science sometimes.\n


Swing is a GUI toolkit for Java. Swing is one part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC). Swing includes graphical user interface (GUI) widgets such as text boxes, buttons, split-panes, and tables.\n\nSwing widgets provide more sophisticated GUI components than the earlier Abstract Windowing Toolkit. Since they are written in pure Java, they run the same on all platforms, unlike the AWT which is tied to the underlying platform's windowing system. Swing supports pluggable look and feel – not by using the native platform's facilities, but by roughly emulating them. This means you can get any supported look and feel on any platform. The disadvantage of lightweight components is possibly slower execution. The advantage is uniform behavior on all platforms.


Does anyone know the easiest and quickest way to tell if any number is prime?

I just had a math packet dealing with this topic.  There are many equations out there that deal with finding primes, but all so far fail at a certain point in the sequence.  The method you refer to, called the Sieve of Eratosthenes, was developed by its namesake in Greece sometime between the 500s and 350 B.C. and is so far the only proven method to find primes.  Sorry, but unfortunately, there is no other accurate choice.


i am married 4 months back!but my husband is quite irresponsible and some times he doesn't have feelings wat2d

i suggest that you sit down and  talk to your husband.  this may cause many mnay problems down the line if your not already feeling a certain way towards him now, marraige is a HUGE responsibility, and it is not something to be taken lightly,youe need to discuss this with him and try to find a way to resolve these issuses.


Severance pay is what you get after you're laid off from a job.  Some severance pay are short, while others are longer.  From what I've seen (I have friends who changed companies and got laid off from the dot.com boom, myself included) it will depend on the company and how generous they want to be.  It is also usually tied to your weekly pay rate (salaried positions are converted to weekly pay rates).\n\n- Some will give a flat two week severance pay no matter how long you've worked there.  So your pay will be how much you would make if you worked there for two more weeks.\n\n- Some will give a pro-rated severance pay depending on how long you've worked there.  The longer you have worked at the company, the more severance pay you get.  For example, a company may give you two weeks of severence for every year you've worked for them.  If you were there for 3 years, you'd get 6 weeks of severance at your usual rate.\n\n- Of course executives are the exception.  They are usually paid insane amounts to be laid off even if they are being fired.  Executive severances are usually within the hundred thousands to millions range.

Is Eczema a disease or just a condition?

the definition of a "condition" is- A disease or physical ailment. so there is no distinction between the words. \nEczema is a general term encompassing various inflamed skin conditions. One of the most common forms of eczema is atopic dermatitis (or "atopic eczema"). \nEczema is not contagious and, like many diseases, currently cannot be cured. However, for most patients the condition may be managed well with treatment and avoidance of triggers


It seems as if you need to clear things up with yourself first.  The only way to get someone to believe that you are ready for something beyond your comfort zone is to believe it yourself.  It seems as if you are scared of these certain things that are holding you back, but the only way your husband will see that you are confident about yourself and that you are not scared is to fix yourself first.  He will see what you bring foward...If this is really something that you want to be comfortable with but at the same time is a hard thing for you to do, sit him down, tell him you love him and that you don't want "this" to be the reason your marriage suffers...tell him you are willing to work on yourself and if there is something he can help you with to make you more comfortable, let him join in, that way he can see the progress.  If this is your husband you shouldn't feel the need to hide behind anything, he should be the only one to know you with no hidden masks.  Please, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and jump into life for you,,,everyone else will follow your lead!


where do i go to find answers to my rights regarding landlord not paying water bill?

Does your rental agreement say that the landlord is responsible for paying the water bill? Do you owe back rent?  If your landlord is responsible and you are current in your rent you should talk to the city or county clerk first and file a complaint before seeking an attorney.


should you stay with your spouse/significant other just because you have kids together?

The key word in your question is just.  If this is the only thing holding the relationship together then there is no personal relationship.  The couple has already become two individuals and is no longer a couple.  Physical separation is minor in comparison to the mental and emotional separation which has already taken place.\nSad that children are involved, but sadder yet if they do not physically separate and become nightmare examples of human interaction.


Was the latest eminent domain ruling by the Supreme Court the right one?

The ruling is flawed, but I think so for different reasons. Eminent domain should be used for things that are prima face the people's - schools, hospitals, roads, things like that. Taxpayer dollars have no place in supporting private industry. Individual rights should be sacrosanct from corporations and government. Oh, and about paying fair value, as stated above? In the case this ruling was based on, the New London Development Corporation  wants to pay residents based on value they held in 2000, rather than present value because that's what the original offer was.

It couldn't hurt, right.  You're both single and who wants to be alone on Valentine's Day?\n\nGo for it, girl!


My brother and his gf broke up recently, they both <3 eachother but neither will say sorry? Advice?

If they just broke up and still love each other give them some time to cool down and try to hook them up again. Just try your best and if that doesn't work tell your brother that she said she is sorry and tell his x girlfriend that he said he is sorry.

I want to teach English abroad, so what are the requirements to become as certified?

It depends on the qualifications wanted by the school where you want to teach.\n\nSome schools in non-English-speaking countries don't require special qualifications.  These schools often just hire native speakers as teachers.  These schools are also not very reputable.  In particular, make sure that you never give them your passport!  Some schools actually hold their teachers' passports as a way to try to keep them longer.\n\nOther, more reputable programs will require you to have a special certification for teaching English, like a master's degree in TESOL/TESL/TEFL or a TESOL certificate.  Check with your university's department of linguistics or department of education to see what kinds of qualifications they offer.  For example, my university offers a TESOL certificate program of about a year of coursework, which can be done in conjunction with a bachelor's or master's degree.\n\nIn addition, for non-native speakers, they might have a requirement to verify your proficiency in English, like a TOEFL score.


What's the difference between Yahoo Answers and a regular ol' newsgroup?

I wonder the same thing.  One difference is that it is very hard to follow the thread in "Yahoo! Answers".  The question asker can edit their question; a responder can edit their response.  (Actually, if you want to respond to an updated question, it appears that you HAVE to edit your original response...)\n\nOn the positive side, you can shutdown a thread by "resolving it".


I'm turning 16 in february, and are 5'2.  What could be the maximum weight for me?

Oh, my -- please ignore the answer that says you should be around 85. Yes, there are some women who are naturally very tiny-boned and weigh in their 80s or 90s when they are 5'2", but a general VERY ROUGH guideline is that a woman (which you would be, physically, at age 16) who is 5 feet weighs 100 pounds. Then, for every inch thereafter, add on five pounds. So the "guideline weight" for you at 5'2" would be 110.\n\nHOWEVER, please take that with a grain of salt. That's only a rough guideline without taking into account how muscular you are, your bone structure, or any of those factors. You really should not go by weight -- it's a meaningless number. Concentrating on health and fitness will get you both an ideal weight and a great appearance. If you must go by a numerical measure, you might want to measure your body mass index instead. It's much more telling than just your weight. The link below connects you to a BMI calculator.

First scan the puzzle and see which numbers appear often.  You may be able to narrow down where that number goes into the 9x9 boxes that don't yet have it.  Then, look for lines that are almost complete and see if you can figure out which numbers fit where.  I pencil in tiny numbers that might fit in a box if there are only a few choices.  Then, look for 9x9 boxes that are almost full and fill in blanks if you can.  I find that I work them fastest by instinct or by using these steps in this order.  I limit the amount of time I can spend on these -  I have already spent too much time in the past year working these puzzles, but the time varies based on the difficulty.


What does it mean when someone says "he has a chip on his shoulder"?

A person who has "a chip on his shoulder" is angry because of some thing that happened in the past. Example: "He lost his game this morning, and now he has a chip on his shoulder." It is easy for a person to get in a fight when he has a chip on his shoulder, because he is already angry about something else. Example: "Watch out for that guy, he's got a chip on his shoulder." To start a fight, men used to put chips of wood on their shoulder and challenge others to "try to knock it off". Example: "What's bothering that guy?" Reply: "Nothing. He's just got a chip on the shoulder." Example: "Tom had a tough time growing up, so he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder." You can use the definite article ("the") which sounds more general ("a chip on the shoulder"), but more often people use the personal pronoun ("his", "her", "their") to say that that specific person has "a chip on his (her, their) shoulder."

Even from the beginning it seemed destined that football would become Larry Csonka's life. He came wailing into the world on December 25, 1946 in Stow, Ohio a husky 9 pound 13 ounce Christmas gift to his parents and a future generation of football fans. By age 16, he already stood 6'3" and weighed 237 pounds.\n\nCsonka gained numerous honors playing for the Stow Bulldogs before going on to star as an All-American fullback at Syracuse University. He set numerous records with the Orangemen and was selected for the East-West Game, the Hula Bowl and the former All-Star NFL Game. He was selected MVP in each of those games. While at Syracuse, Csonka broke the rushing records of Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little and Jim Nance.\n \n \n\n In 1968, Csonka was the Miami Dolphins' first round draft pick. Csonka and power running became synonymous in the NFL. He charged so tenaciously through defenses that his name became a household word and his nickname, Zonk, became a new American verb. From 1971-1973, he led the Dolphins to three Super Bowl appearances, earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors along the way. He and halfback Jim Kiick were affectionately known as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," and were mainstays in the Dolphins' perfect 17-0-0 season in 1972. Csonka earned the MVP award of the Dolphins' Super Bowl VIII victory over the Minnesota Vikings by rushing 33 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns. In 1973, he was voted Super Athlete of the Year by the Professional Football Writers Association. \nAfter a contract dispute in 1974, Csonka, Kiick and teammate Paul Warfield signed with the World Football League. In 1976 Csonka returned to the NFL, this time signing with the New York Giants for three seasons from 1976-1978. He returned to the Dolphins in 1979 leading the team in rushing with 837 yards and was named MVP by Dolphins teammates. He ended his professional career in Miami and retired in January 1980. His career rushing record for the Dolphins of 6,736 yards still stands.\n\nCsonka's career rushing total of more than 8,000 yards places him among the Top 20 leading runners in NFL history. His importance to the game of football was exemplified when he was elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 1987. His inclusion in that prestigious group came in only his second year of eligibility.\n\nLarry continues to work in the "public eye" as host and producer of an outdoor adventure program. He currently hosts and produces "NAPA's North to Alaska" which airs on OLN (Outdoor Life Network) Saturdays at 12:30 EST.  This program showcases Larry's experience as a fisherman and hunter and his enthusiasm for outdoor sports and conservation.\n\nCsonka also travels the country visiting various clubs and corporations as a Sports Humor/Motivational Speaker, operating within his own company known as Csonka Promotions, Inc. His speeches are laced with humor and dramatic personal experiences, and have been well received by some of the nation's top companies.\n\nCsonka currently resides at his home in Oak Hill, Florida and maintains a farm in Lisbon, Ohio where he has constructed "Csonka's Country Night Spot & Outdoor Entertainment Complex" which includes a USSSA sanctioned softball complex, and pro-beach volleyball courts. His other hobbies include operating heavy machinery, fishing and hunting.


I don't know what triggers your OCD but I have a problem with cleaning the house, I can't stand a dirty house so when I realiza I am getting obsessive over it, I grab a bottle of water and leave the house for a while. I keep telling myself that my house is not dirty and it it only the OCD talking not my common sense. I refuse to go back in the house till I drink at least half the water then, go in and refuse to do anything till the other half is gone. By then I hve found other things I can be doing and the worst is over. It is so hard at first but it gets easier.


How do I use my new wifi laptop outside my home and remain connected to the internet?

You need to find hotspots. So if you are in the US, those typically turn up at Starbucks, Borders, etc., and of course Airports, which is where I am right now.

how to make friend easier and more natural?

Talking is probably the largest factor I can think of.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Becoming genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nA somewhat easy way to get a conversation started is to make a short complaint about something that you know the other person doesn't like. Generally the other person will complain too and you'll have you're conversation. You have to be Very careful not to do this often because you don't want the other person to think you're a whiner.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are VERY few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.


What is the best ear guard for wrestlers and grapplers?

In a hot gel, how does the flexing of  metal plate cause the chemical reaction?

"A heat pack like the one you are describing contains sodium acetate and water. It turns out that sodium acetate is very good at supercooling. It "freezes" at 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), but it is happy to exist as a liquid at a much lower temperature and is extremely stable. Clicking the disk, however, has the ability to force a few molecules to flip to the solid state, and the rest of the liquid then rushes to solidify as well. The temperature of the solidifying liquid jumps up to 130 degrees F in the process.\n\nWhen you boil the solid, you melt it back to the liquid state. You have to completely melt every crystal, by the way, or the liquid will quickly re-solidify. You can repeat this cycle forever, theoretically, just as you can freeze and melt water as many times as you like. The plastic pouch eventually wears out and leaks, though (since sodium acetate is a food additive, it is non-toxic)."

Do you believe that Iran will end up with nuclear weapons, despite Western/US/Israel threats??

Of course, unless the USA (or Europe) bombs their reactors first. That would be a nice mess. It's a prestige thing, they feel inferior to Pakistan, India, China, and Europe...\n\nThe real question (as with N. Korea, or Israel) is how would you or they know for sure without a test? It is possible that there's an error in the calculations and the bomb will fizzle (see Tom Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears", the book not the stupid movie.) The Americans initially avoided these technical problems by building a prototype the size of a truck - which is difficult to deliver a few thousand miles without intercept unless you have air superiority (which Iran doesn't).\n\nSo, (possible) possession of WMD is a mind game and a double-dare game, unless you're sure they work. GWB has proven with his invasion of Iraq that mind games only work on smart people. \n \nYou want people sufficiently sure that you have something ready for delivery that they don't dare attack - it's too late, too risky (like with N. Korea). With Iraq, the USA was very sure Saddam wasn't there yet.  \n\nFor better protection, you have to prove they work. After they're tested and proven, the trick is to have enough of them, scattered all over the country, to sufficiently retaliate if attacked. I.e., "attack us and Israel and the Saudi Oil fields get it, if we can't reach the USA."\n\nSo there's the answer: They'll play denial and mind games until they have a dozen or two, then they'll test one - they have lotsa desert to play with. Meanwhile, they'll work at other toys that can defeat the Patriot Missle systems.\n\nWill they give them to terrorists? Not likely (but it's always good for a threat, and rogue sympathizers are always a risk). An atomic bomb works best as a retaliation threat. As far as taking out actual armies and fleets, it's not that great and nobody's going to group together too close when the threat is there. \n\nThey also know that the moment one goes off anywhere outside Iran unprovoked, all bets are off- shock and awe from all directions. I think at that point, the USA would be happy to nuke the big bits, then give the rest of Iran to Russia or even China - "take the oil, just kill anyone associated with making the bombs or using them..."


Which of the course is better for the job field nowsaday? Business or accounting?

i believe business is better, business is a big realm and it always gives you the chance to go higher in the hierarchical system. accounting will most probably keep you as an accountant, senior accountant, or chief accounant.

Mutual funds in India ? Details. Benefits, Drawbacks, Procedure, etc Can you withdraw whenever you want?

There are a number of mutual funds in India... The list is enless.. cant be written here... Regarding wothdrawl, you can do it whenever u want but most of the mutual funds keep some exit load if you withdraw before certain time. (Normally 6 months).. There is another class of Mutual Funds called ELSS which have a lockin of 3 years i.e u cant withdraw before three years.. But from the next financial onwards, they will become close-ended. \n\nThere are lot sites that can list all the mutual funds and their technical analysis. My favourites are:\nwww.moneycontrol.com\nwww.valueresearchonline.com\nwww.sharekhan.com\nwww.icicidirect.com\n\n\n..the list is endless..\nStart exploring with these sites, you will get a great deal of knowledge...


Have you ever asked a woman how far along she was when she wasn't pregnant?

Close enough. I was standing in a checkout line and there were 2 women infront of me talking like they knew each other and there were several baby items on the convayer belt. It was clear that they were talking about babies but I wasn't paying much attention. The one turned to me and said "Here's a man I'll ask him.What do you think when you see an expectant mother?" It kind of took me by suprise but I wanted to say something nice so I chime in with "I don't think there is anything more beautiful than the glow on the face and in the eyes of an expectant mother like you." She busts out laughing "Not me,HER" I'm 6' 3" and I could have hid under a bottle cap I felt so bad. They both laughed it off and said it was still a nice thing to say.

How does convection create land and sea breezes?

During the day, the sun warming the land also warms the air. Since land heats up quicker than water does, the air over land gets warmer than the air over the water. Consiquently, the warmer air, being less dense moves up. To fill its place the cooler air over the water moves in to fill its place creating whats known as a Sea Breeze. Reversly, at night the land cools down faster than the water does, and creates a Land Breeze.

Has anyone pulled energy from the quantum field, a la Tesla?

It depends on what you mean by a "quantum field."\n\nOne sense, which is wrong, is used by various cranks to add the illusion of scientific accuracy. They use it more or less randomly to spice up their descriptions. Other popular words are: vibration, frequency, and zero-point energy (all of which are actual terms when used in the right context.)\n\nThe other (correct) sense is used in modern physics. But while there is Quantum Field Theory there is not  a physical entity called a simply a "quantum field." You need to have a field of something, for instance electromagnetism, and then treat it using the precepts of Quantum Mechanics. Other more complicated quantum fields are used to describe electrons inside a superconductor.\n\nAs for Tesla he was an excellent inventor who was unlucky in business and due to the machinations of rivals. He was correct in understanding the AC was superior to DC for transmitting electrical current (contrary to Edison), and did a lot of early work in Radio - probably before Marconi. \n\nUnfortunately today various crank scientific theories and crackpot "free energy" inventions toss his name around, using his reputation as being "right but unrewarded" to someone make their own theories seem right. (In other words, "people didn't listen to Tesla, so when they say I am a crank they are just a wrong" - common crank logic.)\n\nSo, I don't think there is anything here to investigate, I'm afraid. Tesla didn't pull energy from a "quantum field."


do we really understand iran and iranian?

I'm an Iranian in Canada and you might not agree with what I say, but this is my opinion.\nFirst of all, I'm guessing you are getting your information from the Amrican Media. And I would like to say that the Amrican Media is wrong on many of the views they show.\nSecond of all, to answer your question, I have to say most people don't understand, because you get the same view that the US governemnt wants you to have and thats that Iran is the enemy and they are undeveloped!! AND THAT IS WRONG!!! Once I remember this guy coming up to me and asked me "Back in Iran to dirve, how many camels did you have?" I was shocked and amazed by the stupidity of this person. I told him, I have never even seen a camel and my car in Iran was a Mercedes!!!

Simply speaking; x-rays are produced by first accelerating electrons toward a metal target. Usually tungsten.\n\nSo you know.....your tv set is an electron accelerator.\n\nUsually tungsten. When the electrons strike the metal, they impart their kinetic energy to the electrons of the metal atoms.\n\nIn so doing, those electrons change to a higher shell, or orbital around the nucleus of the metal atom. Since they do not want to reside there very long, they quickly decay.\n\nBut in order to decay they must give up the energy they used to get to this higher (energy) level shell. This energy is given off as a photon (light), but the wavelength is that of what we scientists call an x-ray.\n\nThis wavelength is beyond the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum so we cannot see it, but somewhat solid objects can stop them. This is why we can use them to see our bones and in other inspection type configurations.\n\n:)

Is there any one out there that can refer a non profit organization on getting financing quickly?

This depends on where you live, really.\n\nContact your local city council and find out who the big businesses and philanthropists are in your community. \n\nAfter all, it is VERY unlikely that you get funds from someone far away from you. The other person who said "try asking London" is not being realistic at all (unless you live in or near London); there is not much chance someone who lives that far away will give you money!\n\nStart local and find out how you can give someone a good reason to give to your non-profit. This is definitely a question of effective salesmanship.

How do you get a pocket pc with windows 5.0 to work with the new imac with intel?

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


A virus is a type of program that can replicate itself by making (possibly modified) copies of itself. The main criterion for classifying a piece of executable code as a virus is that it spreads itself by means of 'hosts'. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or carrying it on a removable medium. Additionally, viruses can spread to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer. Viruses are sometimes confused with worms. A worm, however, can spread itself to other computers without needing to be transferred as part of a host. Many personal computers are now connected to the Internet and to local-area networks, facilitating their spread. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services such as the World Wide Web, e-mail, and file sharing systems to spread, blurring the line between viruses and worms.\n\nViruses can infect different types of hosts. The most common targets are executable files that contain application software or parts of the operating system. Viruses have also infected the executable boot sectors of floppy disks, script files of application programs, and documents that can contain macro scripts. Additionally, viruses can infect files in other ways than simply inserting a copy of their code into the code of the host program. For example, a virus can overwrite its host with the virus code, or it can use a trick to ensure that the virus program is executed when the user wants to execute the (unmodified) host program. Viruses have existed for many different operating systems, including MS-DOS, AmigaOS, Mac OS and even Linux; however, the vast majority of viruses affect Microsoft Windows.\n\nA legitimate application program that can copy itself as a side-effect of its normal function (e.g. backup software) is not considered a virus. Some programs that were apparently intended as viruses cannot self-replicate, because the infection routine contains bugs. For example, a buggy virus can insert copies of itself into host programs, but these copies never get executed and are thus unable to spread the virus. As long as at least some of the copies are able to make copies of themselves, they are still considered viruses, otherwise they are referred to as intended viruses.


info if wife contracted AIDS, how do i find out? is there a site?

The only way to know is if she takes a test - either an antibody test or a blood test. There's no other way for you to make a diagnosis, just like you couldn't diagnose if she had cancer.\n\nOnce she does take this test, there are tons of sites with information about AIDS. But I suggest that you first get her to take the test.\n\nGood luck

What is a simple way to explain an electric guitar's circuitry?

The pickups are small magnets.  Wires are wrapped around the base of the magnets, with an inlet and an outlet.  When the strings vibrate, the metal moving through a magnetic field induces a change in the magnetic field (since the magnets magnetize the strings themselves, and a moving magnetic field induces a current in a nearby conductor--see faraday's principle of inductance).  The current will oscillate with the frequency of the string--this gives the frequency of the sound.

Who is your favorite all-time NBA player.?

What does this mean? A U but with ~ at the top a little, =30 km/h KE=10^6J???

Well, look at the units. The first one is a distance divided by a time; speed. The second one is in the units of energy (in the MKS unit system) the Joule. The "KE" also says to me that it isn't just any energy but, kinetic energy -- the energy that something has because it is moving.\n\nFrom these two bits of information you can deduce the mass of the object (if that's what you're talking about) in question.\n\nA very basic kinematic equation is the one that describes the relationship between the mass, velocity, and kinetic energy of something in motion.\n\nKE = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2\n\nsolving for the mass would be:\n\nmass = (2*KE)/(v^2)\n\nWhich is in the neighborhood of 2000 kg.\n\nhope that helps.

There is definately something wrong with your computer if it is taking 12-15 minutes for a page to load.  Not knowing your setup (or even whether you are on a mac or PC -- though I'd guess PC)  I'd suggest you do the following.\n\n1.  Download a free a program scanner (like Adaware SE - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)\n\n2.  Run the program to find any hidden bugs -- it's fairly self explanatory once you've installed the program.\n\n3.  Download and run a Spyware detection program (like Spybot Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/)\n\nIf that doesn't clean up your problem, you're going to want to scan for viruses -- you can scan online for free at http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/ - or go to your local computer store and buy Norton Antivirus (McAfee is also a big name in antivirus software).  \n\n\nIf the three steps above don't help you, you're going to want to talk to a professional about things.  If you bought your computer at a Best Buy they generally have service there.  Otherwise call the place you bought it from and see what they recommend.\n\nGood luck.

Are there any externally visible signs of menstruation(exept the bleeding itself) in the female human body?

dear if she is not having tampoons you can tell by the pad or liner. Sometimes they have them on always if the cycles are irregular. If you have been with her for a long period you should be aware of her last period when was it. the next will be around same date 28-30 days cycle. now the extreme senses come in role like dog can tell by smell of the bitch that she is having periods etc . There have been studies that indicate that the body odour is different when the periods are on.\nthe most striking feature during this phase is if your girlfriend is more irritable , bloated, having headaches, cant sit in one position for long she is having it believe it.


Wicca is a Neopagan religious movement found in many different countries, though most commonly in English-speaking cultures. Wicca was first publicised in 1954 after the repeal of the British Witchcraft Act, by a British civil servant named Gerald Gardner. He claimed that the religion, of which he was an initiate, was a modern survival of an old witch cult, which had existed in secret for hundreds of years, originating in the pre-Christian Paganism of Europe. Wicca is thus sometimes referred to as the Old Religion. The veracity of Gardner's claims is now much debated, and it is thought that much if not all of Wiccan theology was established no earlier than the 1920s. Since its founding, various related Wiccan traditions have evolved, or been adapted from, the form established by Gardner, which came to be called Gardnerian Wicca. These other traditions of Wicca each have specific beliefs, rituals, and practices. Most traditions of Wicca remain secretive and require members to be initiated, however there is a growing movement of Eclectic or Solitary Wiccans who adhere to the religion but do not believe a traditional initiation is necessary. Gardnerian Wicca is perhaps the most popular of the traditions excepting Solitary Wicca. you can find more information also in the address that i give you


If you have a cylinder that is 6 ft tall & 3 ft in diameter how many gallons of water can that cylinder hold?

volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*height:\npi * (1.5 ft) ^ 2 * (6 ft)\n42.4115008 ft^3\n\nso the volume of the cylinder is about 42.4115 cubic feet. There are about 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, so: \n\n42.4115008 ft^3 * 7.48051945 gal/ft^3 = 317.260057 gal.\n\nSo a cylinder 6 feet tall with diameter of 3 feet can hold about 317.26 gallons of water.

In economic terms what does bimetalism mean?

The attempt to keep gold and silver coins in circulation at the same time, both legal tender for obligations, and exchangeable for each other at par, with free coinage for both metals at the ratio fixed by law, is called bimetalism. For centuries governments have tried to keep the two metals in a fixed ratio to-each other. But whatever the legal procedure developed by them to do this, the commercial ratio has been one of constant oscillation.

Have you found what you were looking for in Yahoo Answers?

No. Clever idea, and all, but there are a LOT of snags in it.  I hope after this beta version that much more cool things come packaged up with it and that it's tied with a bow.  I've already been banned from using Answers, but than reinstated because they realized how silly my questions were that they banned me for, like, " what is your favorite mythological creature" and things of the such.  I'm tired of all the same questions.  I'm frustrated with our My Q&A page.  Things could be so much better organized.  I would love to see rating pages for your old questions, etc.  I don't like everything lumped together. Its hard to find things and "play" the right way when you spend much of your time just searching for old questions that you wrote, or whathaveyou. But overall.. I really think it's a fun thing.

is roger federer gay? he is so effeminate?

You mean because he is a good sport? Or because he was so overcome with emotion that the tears flowed (like Pete Sampras). Or because he flows across the tennis court like a dancer? Or because he has long hair?\nFrankly, the thought never occured to me that he might be gay. But now that you ask, he almost certainly is not. As noted, he has had a longtime girlfriend/business partner. I know of no rumors about an alternative life style, and trust that the rumors won't start.\nJust enjoy him for the fantastic athlete and sportsman that he is!

Should New Orleans be rebuilt and by whom?

Quite honestly, I'm getting tired of my tax dollars going to rebuild private homes and properties that shouldn't have been built in the first place.  How many times are we going to have to pay to rebuild hurricane damaged homes along the Florida or Carolina coast, just so some rich guys can have beachfront homes?  \n\nThe city of New Orleans does have some historical significance, and it would be a shame for it to go away altogether, but I think that it is quite clear that the areas of the city that are below sea level should not be rebuilt. Knock down the levees and dams, and let that area go back to nature, then rebuild on the high ground around it.  In 5 or 10 or 20 years, there will be another hurricane. Plan for the worst so the damage and loss of life will not be so bad next time.

Why do clouds often appear thin and wispy at dusk despite being fluffy all day?

At dusk, the land has begun to cool but the ocean, being water, retains heat longer than the land does.  The temperature differential causes a wind to blow out toward the ocean due to the rising warm air over the ocean.  This wind blows the clouds out into their thin and whispy shape.

Why isn't there lightning when it snows?

Lightning can happen when it snows.  The reason lighting happens is because the air in the clouds is negatively charged compared to the ground (making the clouds (-) and the gorund (+)).  The clouds usally get this way in dry conditions cause there is less moisture in the air to stop air molecules from rubbing up against one another and creating excess energy (a negative charge).  Well since the clouds are (-) it needs a way of getting rid of some energy so it can be neutral (n).  It does this by passing some energy in to the (+)  ground, which also want to be (n).  This passing of energy rips throught the (n) air in between the (-) clouds and the(+) ground and creats the effect of lightning.  Now the reason it usually doesn't happen when it snow is because of the moisture in the air being so high, but everyonce in a while the air become dry enough when it snow to produce lightning.

Alcohol molecules are carried through the bloodstream and come into contact with the cells of virtually all the organs. When someone drinks on an empty stomach, the blood absorbs the alcohol rapidly. The body also absorbs higher concentrations of alcohol, such as mixed drinks or shots, very quickly.\n\nAfter drinking, people usually feel pleasure and become talkative at first. The feelings are usually replaced by drowsiness as the alcohol is eliminated from body, and the drinker may become withdrawn. This pattern often encourages people to drink more to keep the buzz going. \nImmediate medical attention is necessary if a person becomes unconscious, is impossible to arouse or seems to have trouble breathing. \nDrinking a high concentration of alcohol in a short period of time can suppress the centers of the brain that control breathing and cause a person to pass out or even die. \nWhen people pass out, their bodies continue to absorb alcohol. The amount of alcohol in the blood can reach dangerous levels, and they can die in their sleep. Continue to check on someone who has gone to sleep drunk. Do not leave that person alone. \nIt is dangerous to combine alcohol with other drugs, especially those that make you sleepy \nMost alcohol is metabolized in the liver and then excreted. When someone drinks more alcohol than their liver can handle efficiently, the additional alcohol accumulates in the blood and body tissues:-)

Morningstar is a nice resource, but remember it is strictly backwards-looking analysis. Kiplingers is OK but is biased towards no loads. (There is a recent study out in the Journal of Financial Planning {October, 2005} that challenges the idea that index funds always outperform actively managed funds.\n\nHere's what I start with when looking for a fund to fill an asset category:\nPerformance relative to peers\nAsset size (Avoid the bloated funds)\nManager Tenure (Great 5 & 10 year numbers mean little if the manager has only been there for 2 years)\nFee structure\n\nThe important thing to remember is to allocate your assets in a manner in line with your time horizon and risk tolerance and DON'T CHASE PERFORMANCE. This years winners are not usually on the top of the heap next year.\n\nIt is never a bad idea to consult a financial planner, either.

What is the optimal weight and height for a runner and why?

This answer is very difficult to quantify as "optimum" due to several factors beyond the two select criterium.  I would say 6 foot 2 inches and about 155 lbs. as a hypothesis.  The reason is because you want to find peak efficiency and performance for athletic traits like lung capacity, stride length, fluidity of movement, stamina, and a hearty kick for the last quarter mile.  Being 155 lbs of lean muscle factors high on the oxygen per energy usage scale for distance runners.  I had this conversation with an LSU track coach in casual conversation.
