I want to be a writer. Does anyone know of a good publish company? Or do you have any good tips for me?

What kind of writer? Poet? Novelist?\n\nBefore you good to a publisher, you need to have actually written something. Have you written a manuscript or a collection of poems yet? Publishers need something to read!\n\nIf you're already at that stage, then...\n\nFor poetry:\nhttp://www.salmonpoetry.com/\n\nFor Novels:\nhttp://www.dorrancepublishing.com/info.asp?program=internetgoogle&gclid=CPu-3JHep4ICFUgoJAodjTfLBQ\nhttp://www.inkwaterpress.com/special.asp\n\n\nA lot of people self-publish these days...\nHere's some resources:\nhttp://www.bookhelpdesk.com/\nhttp://www.writing.com/main/showcase/t/self_publish.html\n\nIf you have anymore questions, you can email me at:\nblueharbor22@yahoo.com


Physically speaking, what actually warps when spacetime is in the presence of an object with mass?

Great question.\n\nYou're looking for something physical, but nothing physically warps.  As you said, there's no aether or medium.\n\nThe "warping" is kind of a metaphor for what happens in a mathematical model.  They talk about that and the rubber mat to help people visualize something that's really difficult to grasp, or even believe.\n\nWe've all learned from Newton that an object in motion will continue moving in the same direction and speed unless acted upon by another force.  Well, you can describe gravity as an outside force, as Newton did, and that's pretty easy to understand.  A comet comes flying by the Earth, but the Earth's gravity continually pulls on the comet, and changes its course.\n\nGeneral Relativity takes a different approach to describing the effect of gravity.  It says that gravity isn't a force.  In its version of reality, the comet keeps moving in a perfectly straight line.  Except that a mass can bend the lines.  Yeah.  No aether or medium.  But straight lines are bending.  It's a model to describe how gravity has the effect it has.\n\nWhy do scientists buy into this?  Well, experiment has shown that gravity bends light, and our current understanding of light says that light has no mass.  So the old model of gravity, which acts only on mass, can't explain this.


What is the best type of flower to send a woman?

It depends entirely on her personality.\n\nFor a wild partyin' woman, get her something big and loud like orchids.\nFor a nice, sweet, simple woman, get her something like roses.\nFor a dear lover, get her lylacs or johnson grass or something like that.


AMD not just for the value but for superior performance as well.  The latest generation of AMD Athlons completely shredded Intels offerings.  The fastest AMD chip currently is the Athlon 64 FX-57 series followed by the FX-55 series.  Just behind those are the AMD 64 4000+ and the AMD 64x2 4800+.  See the link for a benchmark comparisons of 77 processors, notice how all the ones at the top are AMD processors.  Intel chips are, lacking to say the least.\n\nI'm into gaming so for gamers there is no better choice than AMD.\n\nI'll let the benchmark speak for itself.

How do you find a blog when you don't know the blog name?

A blog search engine or a directory (assuming the blog you are searching for is indexed), would be the best place to start searching for a blog. I would recommend starting out by searching Technorati (http://www.technorati.com/ ), a popular blog search engine. They have a feature called Blog Finder (http://www.technorati.com/blogs/ )  that you can use to find blogs.\n\nOther blog search engines include:\nhttp://icerocket.com\nhttp://www.blogsearchengine.com/\nhttp://blogsearch.google.com/\nhttp://blo.gs (search temp. disabled)\nhttp://del.icio.us (if the blog is bookmarked by someone there)\n\nHope this helps!


I was seeing a guy who went around saying i was lying about things that i wasnt,do you take him back?

no.  that person is trying to get personal gain , sympathy, off of your reputation and feelings.  he does not put his own interests behind yours.  He does not care for you the way you deserve to be cared for.\n\nWalk away.

The options for setting up a website are as varied as the options for choosing a car. Choose what you think your needs are from the left-hand column and follow the instructions in that row. \n\nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI'm a student and need to be able to put my class projects on a website. \n\nI just want to set up a personal site with a few photos and some generic information. \n\nI'm campaigning for public office and don't want to spend any money on the Internet, but someone told me I need a website. \n\nThere's no way I'm going to spend anything on building a website, but I'm sure I need one.  Free websites are available everywhere. You'll need to spend at least half an hour to set up what you want, but you don't need any special skills. Your only investment is time.  Go to Geocities or Angelfire and follow their very simple step-by-step instructions for setting up a website. If you can follow directions, you can put up a website with one of these services. There are plenty of others available, but these two are the best-known. \n\nWhen you're done, be sure to add the address of your website to the signature line on your e-mail. If you have business stationery or other printed literature, put it there as well. It's just about the only way anyone will find your site. \n\nIf you know anyone with a website, ask them nicely if they would mind giving you a link. Unless some other site links to yours, the search engines will never find it. \n\nExpect to grow annoyed with the ads on your site. Free web hosts use pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and banners built-in to your pages in order to pay for their services. If you're not bothered, don't worry about them. Most users eventually grow tired of them.  Don't expect a lot of visitors. Your address will be long and hard to remember, so unless someone is really intent on finding your site, not many folks will visit. \n\nDon't expect to be taken very seriously. If you aren't willing to put any money into your site, don't expect visitors to think you're an authority. \n\nDon't get caught up in design. There's not much you can do to make your free site look great. Just put the basic information up and see whether it does the trick for you. Crazy backgrounds, wild color schemes, lots of pictures, and sounds that play whenever people visit your site will only serve to irritate. Keep it simple. \n\nDon't forget to add content. Since your page probably doesn't look very special, be sure to add things to it often enough that it serves a real purpose. \n\nDon't put your e-mail address on the page. Anywhere. If you do, you'll get so much spam you'll never forgive yourself.  \nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI have a lot to say, and I want to blog.  As little as nothing. Some fees may apply, especially as you become more sophisticated. Expect it to become a regular consumer of your time.  Go to Blogger or TypePad or LiveJournal and follow their instructions. \n\nHave something interesting to say, and often. Keep your site fresh. Political campaigns and businesses are starting to realize the power of fresh information posted to people who actively want to follow what's happening directly from the source. \n\nYou may eventually decide to go solo and run your personal site without someone else's software or hosting. When that time comes, use PairNIC to register your domain and Pair Networks to host your site. Their prices are excellent and so is their service.  Don't expect it to be easy. Well-done blogs often absorb lots of their authors' time. \n\nDon't post so often that you create unreasonable expectations. Sandbag a little until you're comfortable with the amount of time you dedicate to your blog. \n\nDon't divulge personal secrets, proprietary information, or national secrets. Serio


What is the definition of Purchase power?

In economics, purchasing power refers to the amount of goods and services a given amount of money — or, more generally, liquid assets — can buy.


who should be drafted higher;bush,leinert,or young?

Well it depends on where each teams weakpoint is at. You see if you are the Texans you got a good QB in carr but no good running backs, so they would draft bush, but if you are the 49ers then I would  go with Leinert because Alex Smith,(10 int 0TD), enough said.

How come older peaple & desabled peaple get help? How can a person who needs help get it otherwise?

What do you need help with, your writing skills or your command of the English language?  Perhaps your spelling.  Our government "helps" those who can't help themselves, that's how the system is supposed to be.  When people whine about not getting their fair share of the handouts, it's usually put into context when you note the person's ability to help themselves.  Can you help yourself?  Probably.

Where can I go online to get acopy of my federal taxes from 2004?

What is the size and location of planets in relation to our sun?

There is no actual picture of the entire solar system. If one could be made, it is very unlikely that you would be able to see all the planets. I am sure you would only see The gas giants Jupiter and Saturn - as dots; maybe you will see Neptune and Uranus, that is about it. From earth if you look at Jupiter in the night sky it is as big as a star - though one of the brightest objects in night sky. From a position where you could see all the planets (the solar system is bigger than that, but let us restrict ourselves to only Pluto's orbit) you would see it as much smaller. Jupiter is 1,600 times bigger than earth (volume). Sun is a million times bigger. From most cities you can see Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus. From a position where you could take a picture of all the planets you wont see all of them.\n\nEDIT: btw, I just remember I was talking about visibility of sun and planets. Actually if a photograph were taken jupiter and sun will be visible. The Sun is a star it will be visible not due to its size but due to the amount of light it gives. If we plotted it on a graph based only on its size and not its luminosity, it will be as visible as anything on the graph and no more. So if we drew an illustration 1024 pixels wide (most 17 inch computer screens are 1024x768 pixels) and put sun on the left most pixel and Neptune on the right most pixel - none of them will be visible. The distance between sun and earth is 1 AU (1 astronomical unit). Sun's Diameter is 1/150 AU, Neptune is 30 AU away from sun. If we scale 30AU to a 1024 pixel screen every pixel is equal to 0.029 AU, anything smaller than 0.029 AU can not be represented on this screen, the sun is 0.006AU wide - 1/5th of a pixel. If you open MS Paint and put a dot with a pencil that is one pixel imagine 1/5th of that - that is sun's size scalled to a 1024x768 screen.\n\nAnyway, Cronides' second link is the answer you are looking for.

What's the velocity of an electron around the atom nucleus?

I have a partial answer for you.  In Hydrogen, the electron can be thought of as having a velocity of c/137 (the speed of light times the fine structure constant).  So it's barely relativistic.\n\nRemember that thinking of the electron as a point particle moving around a nucleus, like a planet in orbit, is not realistic.\n\nIn larger (higher Z) atoms, the electrons closest to the nucleus will have much higher "velocities" (getting closer to c).

I've been living with a really sweet girl for 2 yrs but now I'm sure she's not right for me How do I tell her?

To her face, calmly, lovingly, clearly. You must let her know she's a good and wonderful person but you cannot, and I do mean, CANNOT let her think there's a chance of winning you back, or she may put up a valiant try that will leave both of you feeling more hurt / guilty. Don't be afraid to have a little bit of space between you two for a few weeks after, but if you'd genuinely like to stay friends after that, go out to coffee and chat. Be prepared for the sting when she finds someone else a bit down the road; even if you dump her, it can hurt when she falls in love again and it's not you.


I want to know something about Nano-Technology.Can you help me?

Molecular nanotechnology ("MNT") is an anticipated manufacturing technology that would allow precise control and positional assembly of molecule-sized building blocks through the use of nano-scale manipulator arms. Molecular nanotechnology is usually considered distinct from the more inclusive term "nanotechnology", which is now used to refer to a wide range of scientific or technological projects that focus on phenomena or properties of the nanometer scale (around 0.1-100nm). Nanotechnology is already a blossoming field, but molecular nanotechnology - the goal of productive, molecular-scale machine systems - is still in the preliminary research stage.\n\nNanotechnology was first introduced in 1959, in a talk by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, entitled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom". Feynman proposed using a set of conventional-sized robot arms to construct a replica of themselves, but one-tenth the original size, then using that new set of arms to manufacture an even smaller set, and so on, until the molecular scale is reached. If we had many millions or billions of such molecular-scale arms, we could program them to work together to create macro-scale products built from individual molecules - a "bottom-up manufacturing" technique, as opposed to the usual technique of cutting away material until you have a completed component or product - "top-down manufacturing".\n\nFeynman's idea remained largely undiscussed until the mid-80s, when the MIT-educated engineer K. Eric Drexler published "Engines of Creation", a book to popularize the potential of molecular nanotechnology. Because MNT would allow manufacturers to fabricate products from the bottom up with precise molecular control, a very wide range of chemically possible structures could be created. Since MNT systems could put every molecule in its specific place, molecular manufacturing processes could be very clean and efficient. Also, because every little bit of matter in an molecular nanotechnology system would be part of a nano-scale manipulator, nanotechnological systems could be far more productive and maintain much higher throughputs than modern manufacturing techniques, which use macro-scale manipulators to fabricate products.\n\nTo initiate an MNT revolution would require an "assembler" - a reprogrammable nano-scale manipulator capable of creating a wide range of molecular structures, including a complete copy of itself. The first assemblers will only function effectively in lab-controlled environments, such as a vacuum. The advent of self-replicating molecular nanomachines could quickly lead to "desktop nanofactories", tabletop appliances that consume modest amounts of power and contain the software required to manufacture an interesting range of useful products. The arrival of MNT would revolutionize wide sectors of human activity, including manufacturing, medicine, scientific research, communication, computing, and warfare. When full-blown molecular nanotechnology will arrive is currently unknown, but many experts foresee its arrival between 2010 and 2020.\n\n\nNANOTECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION\nWhat is Nanotechnology?\nLast Updated: Tuesday, 03-May-2005 16:46:15 PDT \nThe term "nanotechnology" has evolved over the years via terminology drift to mean "anything smaller than microtechnology," such as nano powders, and other things that are nanoscale in size, but not referring to mechanisms that have been purposefully built from nanoscale components. See our "Current Uses" page for examples. This evolved version of the term is more properly labeled "nanoscale bulk technology," while the original meaning is now more properly labeled "molecular nanotechnology" (MNT), or "nanoscale engineering," or "molecular mechanics," or "molecular machine systems," or "molecular manufacturing


Is there a non-prescription cure/treatment for depression?

I am not a doctor but some people get good results with a herb which i will not name.  This information can probably  be located on Web MD, and i would also at the very least speak to a pharmacist in case  of herb, drug interactions.  Also Web MD probably can tell you, with something called symptom checker,  if what you have is depression

First of all, every one thinks Google algorithm is a secret. By the way, Serge Brin and Larry Page them selves published a research paper informing about the technology in 1998, when Google was a prototype called as Back Rub. Here is the link:\n\nhttp://www-db.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html


ladies or girls if u were whereing a dress nylons and heels or flats??and a guy was willing to pay u to take?

I'm 30 and I guess I would. It seems harmless enough to get paid for. But, it depends on how the question came up. If I'd never talked to you before and you came up to me out of the blue and asked, I might ask something just as weird like "only if you'll touch yourself while sniffing my feet" But that would only happen if you are a hot 22 to 35 year old.


I am looking for a webpage hoster that won't show my name in lookup or who is.?

All Domain registrars are required by ICANN to put your contact information in the WHOIS. Some registrars have private domain registration which will put another company's information there or just block out the fields when a WHOIS is ran on the domain. A extra fee is charged for this service. But if you look around at all the registrars they may provide a service such as that. One of which I know provides the service is Godaddy.


How come all the good looking chicks in San Diego only go out with really old dudes?

Years ago I've been approached by this relatively big gorilla called Kong who asked me this exact same question. I told him to stop worrying about the size, but worry about the deeds. He said "I will think about it, thank you" and left.\n\nYears later I saw him much taller, climbing up the Empire State Building with a blonde in his palm, spotlights all over him. He seemed to be the center of attention. He became a King. I hollered from down below:\n\n"Happy?"\n\nHe said\n\n"Hell yeah.But I think I'm tall enough!"\n\nEventually he took one wrong turn, fell to his demise. So the moral of the story is:\n\n"Be happy with who you are, it might take you places. But watch where you're going, even if you're tall, you can still fall from taller places."\n\nSo my answer is: don't do anything to stop getting taller. If Kong was only a little bit taller than he was, he would be living today with other giants like Godzilla.

why is there more carbon coming into the carbon cycle than leaving it?

Actually, present modeling of the carbon cycle indicates that there is an imbalance in the cycle. We are missing over 2 billion tons of carbon each year that we cannot account for. This carbon is being absorbed by some part of the planet that we have not been able to identify. \n\nI quote:"Given this analysis we find that there is an imbalance -- we need an additional "sink" of -2.2  (3 - 5.2) x1015 g C to balance the global C budget.  In other words, we are "missing" over 2 billion tons of C each year; this shows how incomplete our understanding of the global carbon cycle is at present.  Although it is possible that this missing sink could be found in any of the major pools of carbon on earth, it is most likely that the pools with a shorter residence time such as vegetation, soils or the ocean (compared to rocks) are most important.  Recent models indicate that terrestrial ecosystems are the most likely repository of this carbon."\n\n From :http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange1/current/lectures/kling/carbon_cycle/carbon_cycle_new.html\n\nThis inablity to balance the carbon cycle using our present understanding of carbon inputs and carbon sinks shows how poorly we understand the global carbon cycle. What this means, is that based on our understanding of the carbon man is putting into the atmosphere, we should actually have MUCH more carbon in the atmosphere. We can't account for it all, and this is one reason global warming due to carbon dioxide is still a controversial idea.

Depends on where you live and who offers DSL service in your area.  But, at my grandparents house I pratically forced them to switch from AOL dial-up to the AOL Verizon DSL package for the same price at $23 per month.  That's just the basic DSL 768k package.  But you don't need the AOL part.  You can just get Verizon 768k DSL for $15 per month.  Can't beat it if you ask me.  And right now for new subscribers to Verizon DSL, online orders get the first month free when you order online.\n\nYou might want to check out whoever offers high speed Cable in your area too.  Most Cable providers will give you a discount on a high speed connection if you are already a subscriber to their cable TV service.\n\nThere is no difference between a wired and wireless connection in regards to speed and quality.  But you will need to get a wireless router (I like Netgear and Linksys but D-Links are one sale right now for $21 after rebate).  If you have a laptop, it probably already has a WiFi card in it.  If you have a desktop you will need to get either a USB WiFi adapater (easier to install) or a PCI WiFi card.  Of course that doesn't matter if the PC is in the same room as the DSL modem.\n\nCheck out the links below for routers and adapters and how to install a WiFi network.  If you set up a Wireless network you should enable either WEP 128-bit encryption or WPA encryption and possibly mac address filtering, step by step instructions are located at Cnet, see the last link.

What's the best home exercise that will lose your crunches quick? besides on the floor, cuz that's hard.Thanx.

Try this.  Get in the pushup position.  Put your hips to the floor.  Now, walk your hands back to your hips so your in a yoga type position.  Next, raise your but as high as your can until your body is in shape of an upside down V.  Put your hips back down by your hands.  Say "1."  Do 50 of these (in sets at first if you need to) in the morning when you wake up and 50 more in the evening before you go to bed.  In three weeks you will have a tight midsection and strong back with will compliment your abs.  That's not to say it's OK to drink 12 pack and eat a pizza when you are done......


I think most people love wallmart, otherwise it won't become bigger and bigger as you can see now.\n\nI personally like wallmart, since they sell inexpensive stuff.


I feel sorry for you guys. HOW do you EVEN know that?\nAnd yet you are SOOOOO convinced. How brainwashed you people are. If the bible is anything correct... people have been waiting for THOUSANDS of years fo that to happen. How long will YOU live? 100? not even close. Don't bullshit yourself. \n\nInstead of indulging in this religious crap preparing for a life that will never take place... the after life, the eternity and other such crap... might as well go proactive and pick up the next child, kiss him/her and tell him/her that you love him/her. Even if it is a stranger's kid. \nThe go grow some beautiful flowers in your backyard. Also, buy coffee/tea for your neighbourhood, especially for that old man living alone whose kids and wife abandoned him. Also that one eye blind old lady two streets away. She needs a hug right about now. Adopt a dog.\n\nTHAT, living by example and TASTING life, in my humble opinion is WAAAAY better than believing soooo CONVICTEDLY about a fairy tale that even YOU are not 100% certain about. Yeah, sure.. tell me that you believe 100%, whatever. Which is more real? Your neighbours, the children, the flowers? Or your religion and the afterlife?\n\nIf you say the afterlife..... then you have been poisoned beyond belief and cannot even see life for life. What is the point of existing then? \nCOME BACK TO LIFE!!!!! LIVE IT!


How come the Cro Magnons ; the ancestors of Homo Sapiens had larger cranial capacities than us?

Probably they had taken a lot more meat than us. Eating meat does grow your brain. Predators do have bigger brains than preys.\n\nTheir brains are bigger because of the need to calculate the risk and to overtake the preys. Cro Magnons had bigger cranial capacities could have been because they desperately need food especially meat to survive the weather. Their physiques had to adapt the condition and made them tacticians.\n\nCro Magnons maybe were smarter than us in surviving the harsh condition of the world bare-handed but I think that they they were no smarter than us in using tools or making great tools. It's like native humans or jungle people or whoever who lives in the wilderness who can bear harsh environment bare-handed compared to us living in cities with great facilities but lack experience in handling harsh conditions bare-handed.

In the U.S. Do men outnumber women, women outnumber men, or is it fairly even?


In short, it's because people don't learn from their mistakes.\nModeling, however, is a more complicated issue. It takes into account all possible influences, including things like weather. Seasonality and trend are human products - sales tend to go up at Xmas because everyone shops for presents. Beer sales go up in summer time, etc. Therefore, when you're forecasting, you take trend, seasonality and other factors into accound and produce a graph that looks somewhat wavy. Xmas just happens every year, that's all.

Why is there such a limited choice of realistic US pres. Candidates & how to fix that? or can we?

Our political system actually filters out decent, ethical and talented candidates.  We have elections, but no democracy in the USA (elected officials generally represent lobbyists and crony friends).  A possible solution is to employ the jury system (random selection of representatives) to fill our legislatures and have them select the President.  Realistically, of course, nothing like this will happen so we remain destined to suffer from Presidents who are so beholden to a few that no real leadership can emerge.  Yours is a great question, however, and the more folks ask it the more likely some changes will result.

What does the rest of the US think about Louisiana's Governor, Kathleen Blanco?

Incompetent, indecisive, wishy-washy.  More responsible for the tragedy in New Orleans than Bush or Fema.  Dodged a huge political nightmare because she's a woman and the liberal media both wants Billary to win in 2008 (can't have a female Democrat leader look bad, might reflect on Billary) and is desparate to stay in the good graces of the N.O.W. gang (and other groups like them).

Are the All Blacks the greatest rugby team ever?

The current team(s) are certainly on top of all the other teams in the world right now, so they were the greatest rugby team this year.\n\nYou could also argue that throughout their history that they have been the team with the highest standards, goals, ambitions, motivation, drive and number of games won, so by that measure I would say the All Blacks are the greatest team throughout rugby's history.\n\nAs far as comments to dirty play - no team in the top ranks is free of the odd moment of less than desirable play. I would not say the All Blacks are the dirtiest team - they strive to play very fairly. This past year I've seen the Spring Boks and the English resort to dirty play when they get put under pressure.

Let e^x equal some variable (let's use y).\ny+1/y=4\nMultiply both sides by y.\ny^2+1=4y\ny^2-4y+1=0\nNow you can use the quadratic formula to find y.\ny=2+2√2 and 2-2√2\nBut don't forget that we said y=e^x, so make sure to solve for x.\nln(2+2√2)=x (In this case, y cannot be negative because one cannot take the natural log of a negative number)\nx≈1.175

What is the best way to settle an old debt?

I'm assuming that you are talking about an old debt that you never paid and is now in collections.  The best option is to contact the collection agency and tell them you want to work out an arrangement to pay a portion of the balance.  Make sure you get them to agree to this in writing before you make a payment to them.  After you pay the settlement amount your credit report will reflect the account as a paid settlement, which will let future creditors know that you didn't pay the full balance but at least made an effort to pay a portion of the amount you originally owed.

why is the child support system not more fair to the fathers who are in their child`s life?

What cheermom stated demonstrates that there are similarities between California and Iowa.  The point to keep in mind is that the Child Support Systems are usually divided into multiple sections. For those who work with individuals involved in the various cases, those who look out for the interests of the children, those are involved in the getting payments form the State to the primary care giver of the child, and those who collect money owed by a parent of record who is mandated by the court to make payments.  \n\nThese departments must follow the orders of the court.  That is, a parent who is working to be involved in the life of the child is a great thing, but if they are not paying their court ordered child support payments, these departments have no choice but to act for the court and collect the funds from the delinquent parent.  \n\nIf a parent disagrees with the amount owed (for whatever reason), their argument is not with the State departments but with the court and they must go back to the court to have a new order issued.\n\nHere in Iowa they will go after the delinquent parent irregardless of their job position and this includes working with other States.  Only the court can change this reality.\n\nI realize that it can be frustrating, but the parents are best served if they do not try to mix things such as visitations and child support payments, the courts view them as two different actions.


what  do you think about the role of US in the modern society?

Are old HP color LaserJets (8550) as trouble-free as their black & white counterparts (like the 8150)?

They take a lot of tech knowledge to maintain and to keep copies clear.  The consumables are expensive.  How many copies a month?  How photo like do you want the copies?  How much space do you have?  Are you partial to a given OEM?  HP has anice one in the LJ 4650.  I like the Lexmark line myself.  Maybe the 550.  If print quality is a major issue, the Xerox line id very nice.

I keep seeing commercials for Gametap. Is it any good?

I've looked at their inventories and they appear some what lacking in various types of games such as RPG, FPS, etc. But if you are into the classica games, they may be good.

As your question is rather non-specific, I will shoot a t an answer that covers what I think of when I read it.\n\nHK people are just that, people. Human beings, like you and me. \n\nIf you were asking what I think about those poor people hit by disaster, yes, they are unfortunate, and they suffer greatly. So do the people struck by hurricanes and floods in the US, and everywhere such disaster strikes.\n\nWhat is odd, though, is that with disaster reports in the media, even less people reach out a hand to those suffering in their immediate surroundings. \n\nHow many people close their eyes and ears when they live in a house where children are beat and/or abused just a few doors down the hall? How many people are out in the cold, freezing to death under a bridge? \n\nIt doesn't take a saint, nor an angel, nor Jesus Christ to make a change. It sometimes just takes a little courage to make a step, and live through the taunts.\n\nI think HK people aren't so very different from ourselves. What would you want others to think about or do to you, were you one of the "HK people"?

What arguments support capital punishment today in America?

1)Just punishment for heinous crimes 2)prevents prison overcrowding 3)80% public support 4)prevents the possibility of escape 4)Detterent. I, personally am against the death penatly on the grounds that it eliminates the possibility of being proven innocent, it costs a lot, it is against both the bible and the 8th ammendment (cruel and unusual punishment), the prisoners are executed in the name of the state aka us, and, as oppose to the popular belief of "no pain" I have pages and pages of stories of how specific prisoners were victim to a prolonged electorcution/lethal ingection due to a malfunction in equipment. I mean, would YOU want to be subject to deadly poison coursing through your system for 5-15 minutes? I didn't think so.


What do spammers get by wasting so much time spamming peoples mailboxes?

Your assertion that spamming is costly to the spammer isn't correct.  Spamming is extremely low cost for the spammer, it only takes fairly cheap internet service plus widely available tools to send millions of spam e-mails.  It is so low cost to the spammer that even if a very low number of people buy the product described in the spam, the spammer can usually still turn a profit.  Of course, its everyone else (the receiver and the internet service providers) which ultimately bear this cost.


I realy need help to anyboy to assist me with funds/money?

You have several options to help pay college expenses.  Your first step should be to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid).  Depending on your financial need you might be eligable for a pell grant from the government to pay for your tuition and books.  Your second option is to apply for scholarships at the college you wish to attend.  Contact the financial aid office to see what is avaliable for the career that you are wanting to enter.  Another option is a work-study program where you work at the college and they give you money in return to pay towards your college education.  More information about work-study programs is avaliable from your local college financial aid office.  As a last resort you could get a student loan, but remember that you would be responsible for paying it back with interest.

How do I get a student in my class to start his math homework in class?

Pull him aside (take his audience away) and sit with him while he begins.  Just calmly say, please get started on your work.  If he asks for help it's a good teaching opportunity.  If he jokes around or gives excuses, don't get into a debate with him, just calmly repeat, "please get started on your work."  When he no longer has an audience or has you captured in a back and forth argument, he will have nothing to do but his work.  Don't get mad, just calmly repeat your request until he complies.  As an assistant, you might have the time to spend with him and not worry about the other students in the class.

how do you find out if your boyfriend is a virgin or not?

First of all, if you're that worried about this you're probably not mature enough to have sex yet.  Secondly, if he tells you he's a virgin and insists on it and whatever just believe him.  I don't understand how someone can "look like a virgin."  We were all virgins at some point.  Lastly, it's really easy to find out about sexual things from movies, books, the internet, magazines, friends and so on and so on.  Knowing about sex doesn't mean you have it all the time.  Just don't worry so much and enjoy being a friggin teenager.


Legally, NO! Never has been. Socially, if you run in a group where that's commonplace and accepted, I suppose that you can do as you will without being rude, just criminal.\nWhat is both rude and illegal is to get high around people who do not indulge in that kind of "recreation".


The reason why different groups of people claimed lands as their own and ultimately leading to the term 'country' is b/c humans, just like animals, are territorial... possessive. We want to be able to call something our own.


How do I properly partition my hard drive so I can dual boot Ubuntu and WinXP?

According to the website Ubuntu has issues with resizing NTFS file system which is the file system of XP. There is a secondary procedure listed, have you tried that? And if you have already tried that and have no other options you can use partition magic. I used partition magic many times for my dual boot systems and it works great. It does have a $70 price tag though.

How do I permanently remove IE (Internet Explorer) from Windows XP SP2?

Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to uninstall IE. IE is buried deep into the core of Windows. \n\nI know getting rid of IE seems like a good idea, it actually isn't. There are some sites that will ONLY work with IE, such as update.windows.com, which is very useful, if you use Windows.\n\nI use Firefox, and have no use for IE either, except the rare occasions. What I have done is removed the link to it off the desktop (right-click on the desktop > PROPERTIES > DESKTOP > CUSTOMIZE DESKTOP > and uncheck INTERNET EXPLORER). Also, you can be sure to remove IE from the quick launch bar in the lower right and the program menu by right clicking on it and removing.\n\nFor the few occasions that I need IE, I have an extension in Firefox that I can tell to open up IE automatically for certain sites.

What is a good way to start learning to play a drum set?

You could either buy an instructional book, CD or DVD. or do what I did let myself go on the set and teach yourself.

Since most songs these days are 4/4 time it should be easy to figure out a beat.\n\nHOPE I HELPED!

To be more correct, this number (21.8) is most likely a handicap index. This is a bit different than a handicap. A handicap is only good for a single course and because courses range in their difficulty, you would have to convert this handicap index into a course handicap for whatever course you were going to play. You can do all these things at the USGA website given below.


Probably religious temples. Jesus tried to deal with them, but they're still here. Go figure.\n\nFrom wikipedia:\n"The very first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world. In them were stored gold in the form of easy to carry compressed plates. Their owners justly felt that temples were the safest places to store their gold as they were constantly attended, well built and were sacred, thus detering would-be thieves. There are extant records of loans from the 18th Century BC in Babylon that were made by temple priests to merchants."


Why does an apple is refered to a kid or learning?

From wikipedia:\n\n"In the United States, Denmark and Sweden, an apple (polished) is a traditional gift for a teacher. This stemmed from the fact that teachers during the 16th to 18th centuries were poorly paid, so parents would compensate the teacher by providing food. As apples were a very common crop, teachers would often be given baskets of apples by students. As wages increased, the quantity of apples was toned down to a single fruit."\n\nSo I guess it was so common that it become a symbol for teaching and learning.

why my mother likes my sister better than me she talks bad about me and talk good about her im very unhappy?

What you need to know is that this just tells you a lot about your mother and nothing about you. This is a personality defect of your mothers, not yours. It can be very painful waiting for a mothers approval that you may never receive. Learn that the only opinion about yourself that counts is yours!


What made you interested in web accessibility?

As with CSS, my first real contact with accessibility came with my job at Salford. Although I was peripherally aware of the concept, and had previously heard mentions of the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), it was never something I thought I needed to concern myself with. However, researching some of the legal requirements involving educational websites in the UK, I inevitably came across SENDA (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Act) and the wider DDA (Disabilities Discrimination Act). To summarise very broadly, the DDA demands, among other things, that the provision of goods and services should be (within reason) accessible to anybody. In its initial state, the DDA did only cover businesses and government bodies, making a special exception for educational establishments. SENDA, which effectively became part IV of the DDA, removed this special status, bringing education back under the general provisions of the main DDA. \n\nAlthough the Act itself does not directly mention web sites, the 'Code of Practice - Rights of Access Goods, Facilities, Services and premises' does, and it is understood that therefore all government, education and business sites need to make 'reasonable adjustments' to ensure a basic level of accessibility. \n\nSo, having started my position as web editor at the University of Salford and realising the legal requirement imposed by SENDA/DDA, I began delving deeper into the subject of accessibility. What I found was that, even among 'seasoned' web managers in the UK education sector and beyond, there was a lot of ignorance and confusion - coupled with misinformed management concerned with 'Bobby validation' as the be all and end all. \n\nThis sorry state of affairs, combined with the fact that, deep down, I feel that accessibility is simply the ethically/morally right thing to do, led me to explore this subject further. I find it fascinating that even though in recent years more and more sites, books and even conferences have been devoted to accessibility, there are still many grey areas once you move beyond the basics, where even experts can furiously disagree. It's not all cut and dry, and in many instances one has to take a pragmatic approach, weighing up how things should be done (according to things like W3C specifications or even common sense) against how they work in practice (in light of flaky browser or assistive technology support, for instance).

How many hours should I sit in front of a PC each day?

The effects of sitting in front a PC monitor for prolonged time frames is pretty drawn out.  You can in effect stay in front of one for 24 hours, assuming you take breaks every few hours for at least 10  minutes to give your eyes a rest.\n\nI would reccomend no more than 12 hours per day in front of the monitor.  And if you do more, at least take a break every few hours for 10 minutes a time and focus on more 'lit' objects, to give your eyes a rest.  \n\nDoctors reccomend no more than 12, and that's a good thing to stick with.

im going to assume this ia an elastic collision (when the objects bounce off of each other).\nyou just need the formula for conservation of momentum. p=mv (momentum = mass times velocity)  conservation of momentum says that (assuming no friction) the total momentum before the collision would equal the total momentum after the collision.  in other words mv=mv.  now, there are two balls so your formula looks like this:\n mv+mv = mv+mv.  the reason it has 2 "mv" 's  on each side, is because there are two balls.  now the second mv on the first side can be taken out since the velocity is 0, so mass times velocity would be 0. that means mv + 0 = mv + mv  so the mass times velocity of the first ball before the collision equals the mass times velocity of the first ball after plus the mass times velocity of the second ball after.  this would look like this:\nmv= mv + mv\n(1kg)(10m/s)=(1kg)v1 + (2kg)v2 (where the 1 and 2 just represent the velocities of the first and second balls respectively.)\nso basically:\n10=v1 + 2v2\nyou would need one of the velocities in order to solve for the other. there has to be more to the problem to either give you one of these velocities, or enough information to solve for it somehow... the balls would move in opposite directions.\n\nhowever, we can solve this problem if it was an inelastic collision(meaning the balls stick together).  if this were the case, then (if this is a problem for class) it probably would have said it was inelastic and it probably isnt because balls generally bounce off of each other unless they're sticky or balls of clay or something, but lets say it was inelastic just in case so i can solve it this way for you.  if it was inelastic then mv + mv=mv so the mv of the first ball plus the mv of the second ball(which is zero like before because the ball is at rest so v is zero) equals the combined masses of the balls plus the new velocity. so mv + 0 = mv, because we have only one object(because they move as one object if they stick).  the combined masses of the balls is 1kg + 2kg = 3kg so now:\nmv=mv\n(1kg)(10m/s) = (3kg)v\nsolving for v we get 10/3 or 3.3333.  they would be moving in the same direction as the initial ball.

Transunion has removed negative items from my credit report. Do other companies have to remove them too?

Credit reporting agencies are required by law to keep your credit report as accurate as possible.  If there are errors on your credit report you have to write to the credit bureau and request the information be corrected.  If the error is with more than one credit bureau you will have to write to each of them directly to have them investigate the information.  Each of the bureaus keep seperate records so a seperate investigation is required from each bureau.  I suggest writing to the other bureaus (Experian and Equifax) and request they investigate and correct your information.


I exercise and eat pretty healthy, but no luck with weight loss, any tips?

Journal your food and workouts to keep closer tabs on calories that you take in and the calories that you burn.  You might find that you are eating more than you realized or not working out as much as you think.  Or you could be eating too little, causing your body to go into starvation mode.  Once you have the results from your journal, if you don't find anything off, ask again with more details.

There are 2 people who should be considered. The first one is a herdsman from the Inner Mongolia region of China, Bao Xishunto a.k.a. Xi Shun (b. 1951), measured 7' 8.95" (2 m 36.1 cm). He has been confirmed by Guinness World Records as the tallest naturally-growing human in the world in January 2005. \n\nBut that's not all, there is a Ukrainian veterinary surgeon, Leonid Stadnik, and he is believed to be 8' 4" inches tall and thought to be still growing! He considers his condition "God's punishment" and doesn't want to be considered for the world record title, hence he has refused so far to be measured by officials of the Guinness Book of Records.\n\nBy the way, the tallest man ever recorded was an American by the name of Robert "Pershing" Wadlow (1918-1940), born and buried in Alton, Illinois. His height of 8' 11.1" qualifies him as the tallest person in history, as recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.


Is there a possiblity of a war between Iran and Israel?

1. Iran didn't threaten Israel, the Iranian president said it should be wiped off map, and it doesn't mean anything, and is just a slogan.\n2. Israel won't dare attacking Iran, cause it knows how much military power iran has. If the war happens it would be some thing like the war between Iraq and Iran. All the western and Arabic countries supported Iraq, but Iran relied on it's people and won the war, even though it ended with a peace agreement, every one knows the winner of that war was Iran.\n3. Western countries won't let Israel attack Iran. Iran is one of the world's biggest suppliers of oil. The price of oil is currently about 60 dollars, with a war the price is going to be about 80-90 dollars, and it would cause unrecoverable damages to the economy of western countries.\n4. Iran is much larger than Israel and has a bigger and stronger army. The power of the armies of both countries almost matches up in air force, and navy. But iran has a much stronger Army. Israel is small so if Iran target Israel with missle, Israel will experience unrecoverable damages. But Israel can't target Iran with missles, and if it does it can't make that much of a damage.( Note the new anti missle and aircraft systems Iran bought from Russia, which covers the entire western parts of Iran.) \n5. There are alot of american forces around Iran that if Israel attacks and U.S. supports it, Iran can easily hit them. \n6. Iran has alot of allies around Israel. Syria, Lebanon, and even Palestine.\n7. People of Iran fully support it in war, even if they hate their government, the spirit of Iranians is that they won't let any foreign person or country rule over them, and as they did in the war between Iran and Iraq they will fully support their country in the war.\n8. God is with Iranians. Iranians have a strong faith in god, and with that faith they can do anything.\n9. I would definately take the side of Iran. Iran has the best and most reasonable democracy and system of government in the world. Israel is not a legal state, and has never been.


I would have your money automatically withdrawn from you checking account when you get your payday deposit and have it go to a savings account somewhere that is difficult to access (difficult to transfer money back and forth).  Then, start asking around to friends and family for investment opportunities.  Hard money lending usually provides a good return, but you need to know a couple of hard money lenders.  Also, real estate developers typically make a good return, but make sure to see prior property perspectuses.  If you have not yet purchased a house, that is a good place to start.  \n\nRecommend that you read Rich Dad Poor Dad's book, Who took my money, and also the richest man in Babylon a classic.  Hope that helps.


What are the rules in cricket or where can I find them?

Cricket-a game unfamiliar to many Americans, is a summer sport popular in Australaia, the Indian Subcontinent, Southern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the West Indies and Britain. It is a game which requires precision in timing, skill, discipline and patience. Though cricket isn't always a spectacular showpiece, basic knowledge of the game will make it more enjoyable. \n\n\nCricket is played with two teams of eleven, each with two umpires (referees) on an oval field. The size of the field varies, but generally has a diameter of around 200 metres. A cricket bat is oblong shaped with a skinny handle. The bat in length is around 90 centimetres, or up to your waistline. A cricket ball is made of cork and coated with leather, and is then stitched up. A ball weighs around 10 ounces. \n\n\n \nIn the middle of the field is what is known as a pitch. A pitch is a hard, flat strip of dry ground around 18 metres long. Two batsman are at the pitch at a time, both at different ends, with one facing the delivery of the ball from the bowler. The bowler runs up to the pitch where he bowls the ball overarm but releases the ball before he reaches the crease, which is a white line painted on the pitch. If the bowler oversteps the line, there is a one run penalty. \n\n\nTeams score by getting runs. A run is completed when a batsman hits the ball and then runs to the other end of the cricket pitch, getting past the crease. The non striking batsman has to run to the opposite end as well. The batsman can run as many times as they like, but the batsmen can get out if their stumps are hit with the ball by a fielder before the batsman reaches the crease. The stumps are three sticks of equal size measuring around 90 centimetres tall with 5 centimetres separating them. Bails (small pieces of wood) are balanced on top of the stumps. \n\n\nOther ways runs can be scored are by hitting boundaries. Boundaries are scored when the ball is hit and touches or goes past the outer edge of the field. Four runs are scored when the batsmen hits the ball and the ball hits the ground before reaching the outer edge of the boundary, and six runs are scored when the ball is hit and goes over the boundary without touching the ground. Runs can also be scored in the following ways: No balls, when the bowler oversteps the crease, bowls in a dangerous manner or incorrectly, or if the ball rises above the batsmans head. A no ball is worth one run. A wide is scored when the ball goes outside the line of the pitch before coming in line with the batsman. This is also worth one run. A leg bye is scored when the ball hits the batsman but doesnt contact his bat and then proceeds to run. A bye is scored when the batsman runs without the ball coming into into contact with the batsman or his bat, and then runs. \n\n\nThe fielding team can get the batsman out in several ways, by 1) catching him out. This is done when the batsman hits the ball with his bat and a fielder catches the ball on the full. By 2) bowling him out. This happens when the bowler bowls the ball and the ball strikes the batsmans stumps or bails. By 3) leg before wicket, or LBW. This happens when the bowler bowls it and the stumps being hit by the ball are prevented when the batsmans leg gets in the way. By 4) stumped, when the batsman comes forward to hit the hit but steps out of his crease, misses the ball and the fielder behind the stumps collects the ball hits the stumps before the batsman gets back behind his crease. By 5) run out, when the batsman attempts to score a run but has his stumps hit by the ball before he reaches the other crease. By 6) Hit wicket, when the batsman hits his own stumps while trying to hit the ball.By 7) retired, when the batsman voluntarily decides to finish his innings, and 8)timed out, when the next batsman doesnt appear on the pitch within two minutes of the last batsman getting out. \n\n\nEach team has one inning of 50 overs. An over is a series of 6 bowls by a bowler. Each bowler c

Do lobsters feel pain when dropped into boiling water?

"It is a widely held belief that lobsters do not feel pain. Think again. Oxford University zoologist Dr. John Baker, found that lobsters dropped into boiling water, showed "powerful struggling movements" for up to two minutes and he concluded that these were not reflex actions but indications of pain. He also experimented with other methods of cooking them, such as starting off with the water cold and then gradually heating it, but concluded that this just led to more prolonged suffering."

What superstitious former U.W. president and his wife had to change their Bel Air address from 666 to 668?

Ronald Reagan\n\nThe 666 rigmarole picked up plenty of steam during the Ronald Reagan reign. Reagan ended up on both sides of the mythology; when he was running for office, some Christian zealots took the position that he was the Antichrist. The smoking gun of these theorists was that his full name, Ronald Wilson Reagan, was made up of three six-letter words. (Cue scary organ music.)\n\nReagan eventually bought into the theory himself. During his second term, Reagan’s friends bought him a home at 666 St. Cloud Road in Bel Air, a neighborhood of Los Angeles. Somehow, the official address was changed to 668 St. Cloud Road before Reagan moved in.

The basics of most nutrition books\nDon’t starve yourself. That’s the worst thing you can do in a diet because it slows down your metabolism and your body starts getting more fat from your food intake since, fat is the bodies fastest and easiest type of nutrition[not the healthiest though]. The reason this happen is because this helped us when we were no doing so good as hunters and gathers to keep us alive a bit longer. \n\nBefore I continue let me explain protein, carbohydrates, and fats.\n\nProtein is easiest described as anything that comes from or was an animal such chicken, fish, sirloin, and milk. \n\nCarbohydrates [carbs] can be found almost in anything else even apples.\nGood carbs:\nApples, wheat bread, sourdough bread, grains, and wheat \nBad carbs:\nWhite bread, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, Doritos, and sodas!\n\nGood fats:\nAvocados, pecans, almonds, and peanut butter \n\nThe ratio in your diet varies but I think a good starting point is something like\n[50%Protien:40%Carbs:10%fat]\n\nThis can sound meaningless. So in plain terms consume only good fats [portioned] and you should be okay.  Something like a handful of almonds, or a table spoon of peanut butter should be consumed three times a day [separately. not consecutively]. \n\nThe reason this is relevant to your question of decreasing your appetite is because you are required to intake around 1200 calories for a 180lb person [Proteins are 4 calories, Carbs are 4 calories, Fats are 9 calories] so theoretically if you eat less fats and more proteins you will have a less appetite because you will eat more. \n\nAnother nifty advice is that your body turns carbohydrates into fat not fat itself. That’s how the Adkins basically works. If you consume more proteins and less carbs you will lose weight. I leave to you to decide if this is good you.\n\nI would also advice you to split up your day into 5 meals. [warning: it will feel weird because you are not used to eating this decreased amount. Just keep in mind that you will eat in 3 hour and you will quickly noticed that you will not go hungry and most importantly not feel hungry] if you do feel hungry eat a small snack like an apple or a wrap of peanut butter with a wheat tortilla.\n\nYou are suppose to split up meals because your body can consume a certain amount of nutrition the rest is just wasted and turned into fat [if you have been starving yourself or if you don’t exercise].

If you think your boyfriend is cheating, do you ask or investigate?

I agree that asking would not work.  If you try asking here are some clues that he may be lying.  He says "What" when you ask him.  He asks for more details (what do you know) like "When" or "With who", he takes a longer time to respond (he's thinking of a lie), also it has been my experience that people are actually more calm when they lie, think about it if someone asks you if you did something wrong that you didn't do you'd be like "No Way!" and you'd get more agitated if they persisted.  But if you did do this bad thing you'd be kinda calm/monotone/Homer Simpson-like "No, I didn't do that" and you'd get more nervous if they persisted.  I would try spying on him first and see what you can dig up before you go asking questions that make you look distrustful.


I carve sweets constantly. It is almost like an addiction. I feel tired and weak if I don't eat them.?

Are you diabetic? Craving sugar is a sign of diabetes. Call your doctor (if you haven't already) and set up an appointment to have labwork done. \n\nThe Overeaters Anonymous thing isn't for you. You probably have a likely medical issue here, not a psychological addiction to food. Talk to your doctor before you do anything else. If you are diabetic, it is important to get things under control ASAP in order to avoid lifelong complications.\nGood luck and best wishes....

I've researched these types of schools in the past and got a horrible cross-representation of "quality" and angry students. ITT is expensive, and is a franchise, so you can find every type of response you want, and usually in every school.\n\nThe type of people who enroll in these schools are on tight budgets, and the school doesn't necessarily descriminate on brain power. You sign the papers, and it's UP TO YOU to follow through and pass. Buyer beware.\n\nIf you don't have the brains, or the time, or the fortitude, don't spend the money.\n\nOtherwise, it's a good education and you will be considerably employable years down the line.

Then think about how similar their need for water, oxygen, food, how similar their DNA is to ours.\n\nNow try to imagine life evolving on world rich in totally different elements, exposed to total different frequencies and concentrations of energy.  The thing about life on other planets isn't really whether or not it's out there, but whether or not we'd even be able to recognize it when we see it.  \n\nThat and the fact that it takes years just to move from one solar system to the next.  Just getting to another planet capable of supporting life would more than likely take decades, even centuries with any conceivable technology(though an alien lifespan could make that less significant).  Any alien capable of travelling that distance, whether by nature or technology, would once again likely be so different from us that we would never recognize one another as living beings.  So there you go, little green men, probably not, alone in the universe, who can say.

Does having capital punishment make us a better country?

No, it does not make us a better nation ,but, if properly utilized it may create a safer nation! In reality we do not utilize capital punishment as very few convicted criminals are ever sentenced to death, and even, when sentenced to death, automatic appeals prevent the timely execution of criminals.  Therefore, capital punishment is not a deterrent.  How strange that people rally to prevent the execution of murderers but demand the right to continue killing more unborn babies. Here in the US we have "legally" sacrificed more babies, numerically, than the individuals exterminated by the Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler. Yet we dare to call ourselves a moral, civilized nation. If we decide to give capital crime offenders life imprisonment without the possibility of parole maybe we should at least require that life be given to inutero individuals, unless the life of the mother is at risk.

What are the sympthoms of macular oedema?

History: \n\nOcular history\nDiabetic history - Specific inquiry should be made into risk factors for the development of DR.\nType of diabetes - After 20 years of disease, nearly all patients with type I and 60% of patients with type II have some degree of retinopathy.\nDuration of the diabetes - Increased risk of DR\nAge of patient - DR is more likely to present in patients older than 40 years.\nDiabetic control - The Diabetes Control and Complication Trail (DCCT) has clearly demonstrated that tighter control of blood sugar is associated with reduced incidence of DR. (Glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c] should be less than 7%.)\nRenal disease - Proteinuria is a good marker for the development of DR; thus, patients with diabetic nephropathy should be observed more closely.\nSystemic hypertension - Increased risk of retinopathy (DR with superimposed hypertensive retinopathy)\nTriglycerides and lipids - Normalization of lipid levels reduces retinal leakage and exudates deposition.\nPregnancy - DR can progress rapidly in pregnant women, especially those with preexisting DR. \n\nPhysical: Funduscopy under stereopsis and high magnification should be performed on every patient with diabetes to assess for DME and DR. An indirect ophthalmoscope does not provide adequate magnification for the ophthalmologist to diagnose DME.\n\nDME is defined as retinal thickening within 2 disc diameters of the center of the macula.\nFocal edema is associated with hard exudate rings resulting from leakage from microaneurysms.\nDiffuse edema results from breakdown of blood-retinal barrier with leakage from microaneurysms, retinal capillaries, and arterioles.\nCSME, as defined by the ETDRS, exists with any of the following findings:\nRetinal thickening within 500 mm of the center of the fovea\nHard, yellow exudates within 500 mm of the center of the fovea with adjacent retinal thickening\nAt least 1 disc area of retinal thickening, any part of which is within 1 disc diameter of the center of the fovea\nOther physical findings that should be noted include the following:\nVisual acuity is an important parameter in following the progression of CSME, although it does not aid in the diagnosis of CSME because patients may have a visual acuity of 20/20.\nThe status of the posterior hyaloid; detached, taut, thickened\nCauses: Causes include the following:\n\nAfter 20 years of the disease, nearly all patients with type I diabetes mellitus and 60% of patients with type II diabetes mellitus will have some degree of retinopathy.\nPoor control of blood sugar increases the risk of diabetic retinopathy.\nRenal disease can be a marker for the development of diabetic retinopathy.\nSystemic hypertension increases the risk of diabetic retinopathy.\nElevated lipid levels increase the risk of leakage and exudate deposits.


Viewsonic VG150 monitor is giving us the message "out of range". What does it mean and how do I fix it?

You have your PC set to a resolution that the monitor can't display.  When your computer is booting, press F8 at the startup screen, and boot into safe mode.  Once there, change the screen resolution to something lower and the refresh rate to 60.  Boot back normally, and see if that helps.

You appear to be in sbcglobal right now.  What are you trying to do?


Blood types are not evenly distributed throughout the human population. O+ is the most common, AB- is the rarest. There are also variations in blood-type distribution within human subpopulations. The figures given here are for people of European descent.\n\nType Frequency \nO+ 38% \nA+ 34% \nB+ 9% \nO- 7% \nA- 6% \nAB+ 3% \nB- 2% \nAB- 1%


ofcourse, otherwise.idontwaste my so much time here.

My son is autistic and I would like to know how can I help my child?

I'm sorry.  You got a really hard road ahead.\nThe infant yrs will be the worst, teens will lighten up.  They really hate novel situations, they like their lives predictable.  Best thing you can do is "push the envelope", expose him to new experiences at a rate that won't freak him out.
