Evolution is almost a proven fact.  In fact it's one of the basic concept of biological science. In fact humans have been tinkering with evolution for thousands of years.  Why do you think we have so many breeds of dogs? If you take selective breeding far enough you could "create" a totally new species. Germs and viruses are constantly evolving. Do you think the AIDS virus was spontaneously created by God?? It evolved from closely related chimpanzee virus that we can no longer be infected with. But the AIDS virus evolved from this virus that we can no longer be infected with. \n\nEvolution is obvious when you look at rapidly reproducing living things such as germs and viruses.  It is not as obvious for a longer living things as process is so slow that it takes millions of years. But fossil evidence is overwhelming that evolution is how we came to be human beings. \n\nWe did not evolve from apes!  Apes are our distant cousins that branched off millions of years ago. We are related to chimps and gorillas, but think of it as very very distant cousins. I don't know the exact percentage, but humans and chimps share over 99% of the genes. It's that one percent that makes us human.  \n\nI don't belive in god, but existance in a supernatural beings does not mean evolution is wrong. I don't think belief in god and evolution has to be mutually exclusive. If god created life, then he/she/it also must have created evolution to go with it.


well.....my fren said my atitude is bad.....after he listen to other person....he hate me now....?

Ok, heres what i got from your sentence:\nfriend said your attitude is bad.\nhe judged you after listening to another person.\nnow he hates you.\nhe doesn't realize that his behavior is extremely bad.\nyou think your a good person, however, he has scolded you about your attitude, while at the same time, his is three times as bad as yours. How can this be? correct?\nAll i can tell you is, the rest of your life (i am assuming you are young?) people will judge you. I am 44, i am judged by my clothing, my hair, my tattoos, my friends, etc. People sometimes just LOOK at me and make judgements. What i decided when i turned 40, that i wish i had decided WAY earlier, is to live my life to please God and myself. To not care what anyone else thought, as long as i was doing right. If your friend wants to believe what someone else says about you, and not listen to you, hes not much of a friend, is he? Tell him you are hurt that he does not listen to you, and move on. There are plenty of people out there who are great friends, supportive of you, and most important, don't worry about little things! Good luck.

How do you know if a district is a good one to teach in?

I don't think there is such a thing as a completely "safe" district.  Difficult situations exist anywhere you go.  There may be schools were things like this won't happen as often but they do happen.  I suggest you take a look at a school district's website.  Each school (in CA for that matter) have a School Accountability Report Card.  It tells you the population in school, services and how many suspensions/expulsions it has had.  After looking at a couple of those it can give you an idea of what the school district is like.  Here's an example of what this looks like and the type of information it has:\nhttp://www.rusd.k12.ca.us/ourschools/libes/\nYou also need to look at their curriculum too.  Each school district has all that information in their website.


Gentetically modified food, is basically food that has been tweaked by scienists to make it better.  For example, genetically modified wheat will grow taller and resist diseases better than a regular wheat plant.  This allows the modified wheat to generate more money for farmers because they have larger crops, and loose less plants to disease

Why is social security running out when more people are paying into it each year?

Until about 2020 the Social Security has a positive cash flow.  After that it has a negative one.  Remember Social Security can only invest in GOVERNMENT DEBT.  This means all agendas and all programs will be hit twice.  1st the surplus is not available. 2nd the debt must be paid alone with the interest.  The 2020 figure assumes a robust economy.  The 2nd thing is since we are living longer we take out more than we put in.\n\nAnother item that hasn't been put into the equation is energy.  The 1st World's economy runs on energy both to make us more productive & our toys consume energy.  The next major energy crisis should collide with the 2020 figure.  Either we will have to go nuclear or change the economics of Renewable Energy.\n\nFor at least solar the major cost is energy to purify & crystlize silicon, therefore, the cost of energy rising doesn't change the economic viability.  To date the solar cells don't reqire to absorb the full cost since the ones we use today comes from the trash of the electronic industry.

how far is the medical society away from cureing HIV/AIDS?

Unfortunately, there is no time-frame currently when AIDS will be cured.  On a positive note, the virus is becoming less strong over the years as the virus is evolving.  Any type of bacteria or virus does not want to kill its host, but merely thrive off of it.  If the virus kills its hosts to quickly than the neither the hosts or the virus can survive.  Simply put, AIDS is not as strong as it was in the 80's.  Although it still kills, it does it slower and with many new vaccinations and therapies people inflicted with AIDS are living longer.  Although we cannot cure AIDS we can  all work together to stop the spread.  SPEAK.


He's Jehovah's Witness and She's Pentecostal?

Do you plan on having children? What beliefs are you going to raise them up with? Will he want his children to speak in tongues? Are you going to teach your kids about your idea of the rapture? I am a Jehovah's witness and we are taught to teach our children about the bible when we lie down when we get up and basically all the time. My husband and his family share my beliefs as well and I never have to worry about him teaching our kids false teachings. If you both plan on maintaining your current differing faiths it WILL put a strain on things. I am not going to say No it won't work or Yes it will. But, I have a good friend who is married to a non-Witness and that particular aspect has been a HUGE struggle in their marriage not merely from differing beliefs from her husband but from her in-laws as well who are not JW's and are very nasty to her. I can tell you for an almost  certainty you won't have that problem from his family but how will you family treat him?I don't know if your boyfriend is a baptised JW or not or if he really was brought up to have an accurate understanding of the Bible as taught by us. But, I do know that there are some things about the pentecostal beliefs that he may seriously disagree with if you really practice your faith. Really, I recommend you both sit down and seriously discuss your religious differences if you are both going to stay together. \nBut just in case you didn't know... We are Christians. Someone above stated we are not Christains I would just like to set the record straight.\n\n  Yeah and Everything Heatherloves... said below--Well put Sister!

What criteria can be used to assess map projections?

Accurate representation of angle and size. Some tests include: \nDistance from the center of projection to various points;\nOrthogonality of lines of lattitude and longitude;\nProportionality of areas;\nAzimuth angles between points, measured in all directions.\nThese tests are performed at many places on the map.\nAll projections have some distortion of scale and/or angle. Generally projections try to minimize one or the other, or compromise on both minimizations.\nSee the ref. for examples of projection types.

How can I make a rain gauge for in my yard so I can tell when there's more than 1/4 inch of rain? Calculations

I don't understand why you are only concerned about 1/4 inch of rain, but a good method for accurate measurements is collecting rain in a coffee can placed at a location with as few obstructions as possible and where little if any will bounce off the ground or other objects into the can. The diameter of these cans is normally about 3.9 inches.\n\nThe contents can then be poured into a tube of much smaller diameter - for example 1 inch. The amount in the smaller tube corresponds to that collected in the larger can as follows:\n\nLa = Sa (Sd/Ld)^2\n\nLd: diameter of coffee can\nLa: amount collected in coffee can (what we want)\nSd: diameter of tube\nSa: amount in tube\n\nI.e., the ratio of squares of the diameters provides the required conversion from the amount in the tube to that in the can.\n\nExample: Suppose the coffee can has a diameter of 3.92 inches and the small tube has a diameter of .95 inches. You collect an amount in the can that is very difficult to measure directly, but when you pour its contents into the tube, you find it is not that difficult to measure as 5.22 inches. Helps to have a clear tube with accurate markings, and for large amounts it may have to be emptied and filled several times (best to wipe any amount sticking on the inside when that is done). Anyway for this situation:\n\nLd = 3.92\nSd = .95\nSa = 5.22\n\nThus\n\nLa = (5.22)(.95/3.92)^2 = .307\n\nslightly greater than 1/4 inch :)\n\nNote that (Ld/Sd)^2 = 17.02, so pouring into the small tube increases the resolution of the measurement by a factor of about 17.\n\nThat is essentially what the Long-term gauge shown here does:\n\nhttp://www.robertwhite.com/cgi-local/shop.pl?type=item&item=longtermrg&categ=rw_rainfall&nav_bar=weather\n\nThe advantage of that being that the smaller tube inside is marked with the conversion factor already accounted for - the amount can be read directly in 1/100's of an inch.\n\nSo if you want to save some money, you can probably construct something very similar using a coffee can &/or funnel and some sort of smaller tube for it to go into. I have the gauge, and can say it is designed very well and is accurate. Measurements with it and the coffee can as described almost always agree within 2% and often are virtually identical.


what is rebating / is it good and not too much trouble?

It is the process of selling something to you with an incentive, a cashback. The way it works is that the store gets  to score with the manufacturer who provides a discount to the buyer which is issued around 90 days after the purchase. Thus a part of the revenue plus interest for 90 days, generated by massive sales of the product to multiple buyers gets distributed as a cash incentive or a rebate. \n\nThe catch is this, there are many people who do not complete the information required for the rebate, they do not do this in time or they just forget about it. All this is free money for the manufacturer. Also, the manufacturer gets a good idea of the demographic of the people buying their product, where they come from, etc. It is a free market research for the product.\n\nGenerally it is very good and not much trouble. These days you don't even have to mail in your rebate forms, you just have to punch in the bar code online.\n\nIt could be a problem if you try to return the product since you will no longer have the bar code.

Nose bleeds are often the result of common events, usually trauma, but nose bleeds can be a warning of other problems. Nose bleeds are caused by a small blood vessel rupturing. There are two main types of nose bleed, upper and lower septum nose bleeds\n\nMost nose bleeds occur within the lower end of the nose in the lower septum. The septum is the semi-rigid wall separating the two channels of the nose that contain blood vessels. These blood vessels lie close to the surface, making them susceptible to injury.The most common cause of nose bleeds is trauma. A blow, smack, or sometimes just picking the nose. Dryness inside of the nose can also cause bleeding. High altitudes, colds, allergies and medications are all responsible for nose bleeds.\n\nUpper septum nose bleeds are much more rare. Bleeding begins high within the nose and blood flows down the back of the mouth and throat even when the person is sitting up or standing. These nose bleeds can be very serious and do require urgent medical attention.Causes of upper septum nose bleeds:High blood pressure.Disease of the arteries such as atherosclerosis.Side effects of medications and drugs such as aspirin, cocaine. Bleeding disorders (are you on anything that could be thinning your blood????).Nasal tumors, cancerous and non-cancerous.Serious trauma such as a displaced broken nose from car crashes, falls etc. Leukemia,Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, a hereditary disease where a growth like a birth mark is located in the nose.Infection,Nose bleeds can occur for no apparent reason.

what kind of family social organization does a typical Suriname family have?

Suriname has a diverse population East Indians (known locally as Hindustanis) form the largest group at 37 % of the population. They are descendants of 19th century immigrants from India. The Creoles, mixed white and black, form about 31 %, while the Javanese ("imported" from the former Dutch East Indies) make up 15 %. Maroons (descendants of escaped African slaves) make up 10 % and are divided into five main groups: Aucans, Kwinti, Matawi, Paramaccans and Saramaccans. Amerindians form 3 % of the population (some say as low as 1 %), the main groups being the Akuriyo, Arawak, Carib, Tirío and Wayana. The remainder is formed by Chinese, Europeans, and Brazilian immigrant workers that have arrived in Suriname in recent times. A small Jewish community composed of several families, descendants of Sephardim who had earlier fled from Iberia to the Netherlands, also inhabit the country. They previously operated an autonomous region of Suriname called the "Jodensavanne".\n\nBecause of the great number of ethnic groups in the country, there is no one main religion. Most of the Hindustani are Hindu, but Islam and Christianity are also practised by them. Christianity is dominant among Creoles and Maroons.\n\nThis influences the type of family structure. Hindu and Islam would have traditional family structures with the father dominant. 31.6% of Surinamese are aged 0-15 so there are many young people and children in the country. There are 2.44 kids per female so the average family size is 2 to 3 children.

Evacuation Day (Massachusetts)\n\nMarch 17 in Suffolk County, Massachusetts was Evacuation Day, an official holiday commemorating the evacuation of the city of Boston by British forces on March 17, 1776 (see Siege of Boston or American Revolutionary War). Evacuation Day is also observed in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Somerville, Massachusetts. The holiday was first proclaimed in 1941.\n\nMarch 17 is St. Patrick's Day, giving Boston's large Irish and Irish-descended population an additional reason to celebrate. Typically, residents assume that Evacuation Day is celebrated since St. Patrick's Day could not be made a legal holiday.

<*>He was the third Imam, Imam Hussein heeded the call of the oppressed, but when he reached Karbala, close to Kufa, his group of 72 members - consisting of men, women and children - was faced with an army of thousands, equipped with frightening armor. Yazid asked Hussein to submit to his rule. Unwilling to compromise with a ruler he viewed as the destroyer of Islam, Hussein took to the battlefield and was beheaded. To this day, Imam Hussein’s martyrdom epitomizes the path of justice and defiance against oppression.

is the king cobra one of the most deadest snake?

1) Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus ), Australia. The most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. These rare snakes are vitually unknown in collections outside of Australia.\n2) Australian Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis ), Australia. One 1/14,000 of an ounce of this vemon is enough to kill a person. \n3) Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus ), Southeast Asia and Indonesia. 50% of the bites from this snake are fatal even with the use of antivenin treatment. \n4) Taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus ), Australia. The venom delivered in a single Taipan bite is enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs. \n5) Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus ), Australia. \n6) Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa ), South Asian waters Arabian Sea to Coral Sea..\n7) Saw Scaled Viper (Echis carinatus ), Middle East Asia.\n8) Coral Snake (Micrurus fulvius ), North America.\n9) Boomslang (Dispholidus typus ), Africa. \n10) Death Adder (Acanthopis antarcticus ), Australia and New Guinea. \n11) Black Mamba, both species of Green Mambas, and the Mojave Rattlesnake.\n\nHope that helps you!

any one have info. on abcess on  a tooth what is it and is it dangerous?

It occurs when the pulp (nerve) of a tooth is infected.  Yes it is dangerous if not treated because the infection can spread throughout the rest of your body.  More than likely, it'll just land you in the hospital.  Worst case scenerio... it could kill you.\n\nUmmm actually... to correct the person below me... it doesn't eat through your jaw, etc.  At the tip of each tooth is an apical foramen (an opening) where the nerves of the tooth flow out to the rest of the body.  If there is infection in the nerve of the tooth it can go out into the rest of the body through the apical foramen if it isn't treated.  And I would not compare it to cancer at all.

i am a new graduate nurse, and i have an interview next week, what kind of questions should i expect?

You never know what an interviewer will ask.  Bad interviewers are as tough as good ones, because bad ones will not give you a chance to show off what you've got.\n\nThe main tactic in an interview is to do most of the talking.  You are there to brag about yourself and convince them that they need you.  Be honest.  If you don't know an answer, say "they did not teach us that, but I can learn about it if you need me to."\n\nIn my toughest interview, the man kept refuting my answers with research.  I stuck to my guns and gave my reasoning.  Later I found out that as soon as I left the room, he said, "he's the one."  I felt like a whipped dog, but I had actually impressed them.\n\nShow enthusiasm--firm handshake, smile, act excited about what you do.\n\nThe novice interviewer will start by saying "Tell me about yourself."  I love this one, because I take over and give a dissertation about how I work, my philosophies, my qualifications, etc.\n\nIf you get the interviewer who won't ask anything, you need to find a way to work in what you want to say.\n\nThe main thing--go in with notes to look at.  That is acceptable, and makes you look organized and professional.  Jot down the main points that you want to make.  Also, have a pen, and jot notes when they speak to you.\n\nOf course, dress professionally.  Practice a firm handshake with men.  Do not just put your hand out--push your hand forward so that they don't accidently grab your fingers.  Do not give them a limp handshake.  Look them in the eye.  Smile.  Do not wink or flirt.\n\nIf they are soft-spoken, speak softly with them (but firmly).  If they are louder, match them.\n\nHave a resume ready and offer it when you first meet.  Have another copy in front of you with your notes.\n\nDon't expect anything, because you can't know what to expect.  Just be prepared, and go in there and have fun.\n\nIf you don't get this one, the next time try to line up more than one interview.  It is less disappointing than doing one interview at a time, because you still have something in front of you.\n\nKnock 'em dead!

what is Piles and what is the treatment for piles.?

Piles is simply hemorrhoids (varicose veins in the anus).  If they are caused by constipation, increase your roughage (fiber, green vegies, fruit, cereal) and fluid intake.  Also, if caused by constipation, do not strain when going to the bathroom.  \n\nIf your hemorrhoids are minor, you can treat them with cream available in any drugstore.  If serious, you may have to have surgery (a hemorrhoidectomy) to remove them.  They can also be treated with rubber bands or injections.\n\nBe sure to see a doctor.  You need to be certain that the bleeding is from hemorrhoids and not some other health issue.

What do you plan to do if you get a fefund check from the IRS?

Getting a refund? Well, you would first consider reducing the amount of money you give Uncle Sam each pay period. If your job will be the same and your pay will be the same (give or take a little) Reduce what you pay in taxes - you are effectively giving Uncle Sam an interest free loan! Now why would anyone do that on purpose? How do you do it? Talk to your HR people - Say you got back $600 - that's $50 a month, so reduce what you pay by a little less than that, say $35/$45. Now you'll have the money to put towards whatever it is you are saving for - new car, house, vacation or maybe even retirement - too early for retirement? The earlier you start, the less you have to put away. As for the money you're getting as a refund? Well, spend that as you would for any other item that you are saving for that is important to you - vacation, new car, house etc. Your money, Your Life, You can make good decisions. Good Luck

How do you remove a firewall from your computer? where can I find the firewall?

I do not recommend removing or stopping your firewall at all because after that you  will be naked under the attacks of hackers but if you know what you are doing and if you are speaking the built in windows xp firewall:\n\ngoto control panel-->  Select "windows firewall" --> from there turn off the firewall\n\nA better safe way is to add your trusted applications to the exceptions list of windows firewall.this way firewall will allow your trusted applications to conect to internet and blocks other application.\nAlso I recommend you study this slide based article called "life without a firewall" to know the importance of firewalls.\nhttp://www.usenix.org/events/sec03/tech/cheswick/sld069.htm\nI hope these information can help you.\nGood luck my friend.


Technically it could. If you were to remove your heart from your chest, and then submerge it in liquid nitrogen, it would immediately freeze. Then you simply take it out and either hit it with a hammer or ball bat, or just drop it on the ground, or even gently place it on the ground and stomp on it, it would shatter like glass!


Should I hand over 50% OF MY HOUSE DEEDS TO MY DAUGHTER?

The inheritance tax threshold was raised in the budget on Wednesday (22/03/06).\n\nCurrent rules mean that 40% tax must be paid on any estate worth more than £275,000. This threshold will rise to £285,000 from April and then £300,000 by the 2007/2008 tax year.\n\nIf your house is worth substantially less than this then it may not be worthwhile.\n\nAlso you would have to live for 7 years in order for the house to be classifed as a "gift" by the Inland Revenue. If you pass away before that then the house will still be taxed as inheritance.\n\nOne option is to move house and then use any spare cash to gift or distribute.\n\nIf you do consider that signing over 50% of your hosue is the best way you should investigate carefully the laws on tenants in common, as this is treated slightly differently to joint ownership.\n\nFor full information check out the Inland Revenue website here:\n\nhttp://www.hmrc.gov.uk/leaflets/iht.htm

It really depends on the Wiccan. Many of them wont outwardly say what they believe in either. It's a very spiritual thing that varies from person to person. Many believe in higher powers other than the Goddess, called the "All", some believe she is the "All". Personally I believe that she's everything and everyone. Both metaphysical like the christian god, and physically. Think of her as being your mother. That's what she is. She guides our path. As far as spirits go, they're everywhere. That's a really complicated subject that could take hours to type. =D Wiccans also practice forms of magick, usually staying away from variant forms of "black" magick. And we also believe in Karma, both from past lives (yes, reincarnation), and from the things we do today. There's no "sin" like in Christianity, but, when you do something "bad" it affects your Karma in this life and the next. There's a lot about Wicca that's hard to explain, you're best bet would be to find a website. If you do a google search tons of stuff will come up. \n\nSome of the words of the Great Mother (the Goddess) were: \n"And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: If that wich you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire."


how can i quickly heal stress fractures in my shins?

don't do any running for at least 2 weeks, take motrin regualarly as an anti-inflammitory.


why does god let the good suffer and let the bad go unpunished?

Yes, this is how it feels. I am right now managing a sore throat and a congested nose. Yet, would all these come to heal without God? No, we are all punished for our actions,thoughts,and words. Are not we all evil in a way? We have all somehow harmed a creature... by stepping on it or eating it. God is not punishing us as bad as the bad. The truly evil are the ones with no love for anything. Those are the ones who are suffering. Even though I am not Christian, did Jesus not suffer? He did it for us. Does God not suffer?... seeing our pain and misery. Yet, throguh this darkness a light shines through. God is beautiful as anything. He is helping us. God sees misery in our hearts and shines light through. Think for a moment...How had God helped you?

Is Avant browser better than Firefox browser, if so, in what ways?

I haven't used Avant, but I just checked out their website, and it looks like it comes with more built-in features than Firefox, but less versatility. Some features like mouse gestures aren't built into Firefox, so you have to download an extension for it.\n\nHowever, since Avant isn't open source and doesn't allow for extensions, there are going to be a lot less features in the long run. Extrensions have to be downloaded seperately with Firefox, but they are very easy to find and implelement, and can add a lot of functionality and customizeability (is that a word? If not it should be) to your browser. Right now, my Firefox browser does everything that Avant does and more. Plus, I'm supporting an open source software community (one that emphasizes creativity and innovation over profit) by using it. I'd go with Firefox.

want the actual credits from hotel california from the eagles?


They already divided it into two: Israel and Jordon.\n\nThe Arabs don't like Israel because they are there. Pretty plain and simple. Several times the Jews tried to work out a peaceful solution early in the 20th Century with the Arabs. Once they even were willing to live with a small strip around Tel-Aviv in exchange for peace. The Arabs rejected it. The Arabs don't want Israel there.


The easiest way if the place you bought them from does not do it for you is to wrap them in a wet towel and place them in your oven on its lowest setting for about 4-5 minutes. When you put them on, make sure you have socks on and sit in a chair, do not walk around. Keep them on for about 10 minutes and you're all set. Good luck, and skate hard.


What in the hell is bluetooth and why is it on my palm pilot?

It is a wireless technology with a range of about 30 feet.  It uses FHSS, which is Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology.  FHSS means that it changes the frequency 1500 times per second, so that it is difficult to intercept and listen in.  Many newer devices come with bluetooth built in, and it allows you to more easily connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot when you are at Starbucks or Borders.


Obviously depends on your preference. \n1) Macs, right now, have no in the wild virus', and very few, if any spyware problems\n2) Windows has hundreds of thousands of virus', and MANY spyware issues\n3) Macs are very user friendly, which is good for the novice, may be difficult for the expert or advanced user\n4) Check your software, if you paid $500 for Office for Windows, probably want to stick with that (if you already have a PC). Also, what do you use at work/school/in your profession (i.e. musicians and photographers usually prefer macs, while engineers, etc prefer PCs)\n5)Macs can be much more expensive\n6)Macs sure are purdy!:)\n\nNow, it may seem like i am biased, but i use almost 100% PCs (hopefully changing soon :P), and they definetly get the job done. It all depends on your personal preferences. Go to an Apple store near you and test them out. Im sure you have some friends who have PCs, check those out as well. See which one you like better. Do some research as well, does mac have the software you wish to use. Read articles on wikipedia about both, it's very interesting!\n\nIn the end, it all comes down to you. \n\nGood Luck with your Choice!


How does solar energy turn into the elctricity in your house?

Photons from the light of the sun strike atoms in a solar cell and cause electrons to move.  This electricity coming out of the cell (assuming a completed circuit) goes to a storage battery and/or an inverter which converts the DC (what batteries and solar cells generate) to AC (which household appliances use).

I love Dr Phil for one reason and here it is\n\nHe continually asks his guests one simple question: "How's it working for you?"\n\nSuccess in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.\n\nI am going to reveal to you the Secret Weight Loss Formula that Celebrity personal trainer don’t want you to know about.\n\nBefore I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. \n\nSo how does your body burn fat?\n\nThat process is the same for every human being. I will outline the steps and then show you how you can easily apply some fundamental rules to allow your body to burn the maximum amount of fat with less effort and minimum time. Once you understand that simple process, you can easily see why you are not getting the results that you want. Even bigger, you will finally see that getting that dream body is getting so much closer to reality that you will be extremely motivated to get started as soon as you can.\n\nHow does your body release the fat from the cells?\n\nBefore you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here what needs to happen: your body fat need to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.\n\n1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.\n2.Include small amounts of good fats.\n3.Eat natural foods; avoid processed & refined foods\n4.Eat lean proteins with each meal.\n5.Eat more complex carbs, fruits & vegetables.\n\nThe most misunderstood weight loss strategy.\n\nReleasing fat from the fat cells is not the end of it; actually, it is just the beginning. Because the fat needs to be transported from the fat cells to your muscles so it can be burned there. This is done through your blood and the cardiovascular system is responsible for that. The more effective is that system, the more effective your body will become at burning fat. You can improve your cardio vascular system by doing so cardio training.  However, don’t go out yet and spend 1 hour on the treadmill because you probably not going to be doing too much good like that.\n\nThe reason is excessive cardio combined with a restrictive diet burns fat but mostly muscle tissue. That is not a good thing at all, because muscle tissue is where you burn the fat and if you are burning away muscle tissue, you are burning your ability to burn more fat in the future (weight loss plateau). You just don’t cut the hand that feed you. So cardio burns fat and it can also burn muscle tissue, this is a huge dilemma. Damn if you do, damn if you don’t. But wait there is a solution to that…\n\nYou need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. \nDoing too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime \nsoon. Here is what you need to do:\n\n1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate. In you case, with your heavy schedule you could problaby bypass that.\n\n2.Never diet but consume little fewer calories that you will burn (No starvation diets, Please...)\n\nThe world most efficient “fat burner” available in the market is FREE and is already available to you.\n\nBefore I reveal to you how personal trainer get those celebrities in the best shape of their life in such short period there is one more thing that I want you to understand. Because it is very important. \nWeight loss marketers always claim that they have the magic “fat burner” that will melt your fat away. The problem is that they have a new one coming out every year, so I wonder if the one from last year was so effective, why we need a new one. There is only one thing that actually burn body fat is you already have it. It d

If you found a wallet filled with an insane amount of cash, would you return it?

Daisy...Daisy...ever seen 2001 A space Oddysey?!\n\nOh yea...the Wallet.\nYou know, I do beleive I would return it. \nYou are right when you say what goes around comes around...and it does with a vengeance. People think that this phrase is just a quote till they are "convicted" by it.\nI have strived to be an honest and fair person since as long as I can remember, however their are several times when inaction on my part has proved this theory/fact. Needless to say, I will hasten my step  when these situations present themselves to me in the future.\n\nOn a side note, I would call the owner of the wallet and ask if there was a reward. Who knows, the owner might be single and good looking ready to date an honest person like yourself, might be a fortuitious circumstance for you both, think of it in these terms, there is a positive outlook on the situaton in this fashion you are still gaining.\nIf you decide to "take", that is exactly what you are doing to yourself, taking a future blessing away from yourself.\n\nNow, go call the owner and hope that he's ready to hook up with a good girl like you..?

Taekwondo,,, why do some moves in forms go slower than others?

I'm only an 8th Kup but I've seen other students practice Joon-gun and I know the move you're talking about, they bring the hands up slow with a loud drawn out exhale don't they? I can't remember anyone ever asking but remember that all Tul represent something as well as incorporate moves, and i know talking to the 2nd Kup students that i've seen practice it that when they are graded the instructors look for your control, switching speed ect. You have to really know the routine, at the lower levels you can memorise a routine and go through it without thinking, but when you have to slow down your stance is very visible, and if it's not good it notices. So all before the change in speed your stances need to be correct and you have to know what you're doing. That however is a practical consequence, instructors take advantage of it to look for things, i don't think it's the real reason. You can ask your instructor about it and see what he says.

is plasmapharesis has role in elimination of hcv antibodies even temporally?

Plasmapharesis?  *racks brain* Partial replacement of plasma your plasma?  And by hcv you mean Hep C virus?\n\nFirst, you cannot become immune to hep C.  There is no vaccine.  Once you are infected, you are a carrier of the virus for life--whether you have active symptoms or not.  Even if your body does make antibodies to it (which I don't think they do), they are inneffective.\n\nSecond, partial plasma replacement will not eliminate any of your antibodies.  It will decrease the number of them for a time, but even that should not increase your susceptiblity to disease.

Business Major looking for job in Hamilton/Toronto area.  Anyone interested?

I am currently looking for a new position in the Chicago to Madison, WI area, and I have to say this is a different approach to marketing yourself, but...  if you are not getting results why don't you try having a professional write your resume, normally the rates are discounted for graduates with little experience.  Or try building yourself a website and using some simple and free techniques to help employers find you, I have found that to be the most effective for myself.  Also, hook up with a recruiter (one that doesn't charge you but is paid by the client), be exclusive, and be patient.  Hope this helps.


Do you consider yourself underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese?

I'm male and 46,  My weight is within healthly limits so my weight isn't the problem.  It's that I'm not in shape.  There is a huge problem with body image in the US.  If one is healthy and in shape.  Weight shouldn't matter.  It's come to the point where eating disorders are hitting younger and younger girls and just recently it's been reported that boys are now having the same body image problems.  Good topic!


Guys:What are you looking for in a girl?

Also (I'm in the minority) but I prefer a girl how likes to be around her boyfriend a lot.

If a client was on a MDI, corticosteroid, preventative, parasympathetic,and sympathetic, what order are given?

If all the meds are MDI's, you give the adrenergic (sympathetic), then anticholinergic (parasympathetic), and the steroid is always last. You should rinse your mouth after the steroid to prevent thrush.\n\nOk, I have to disagree with steveangela1 on this one. The anticholinergic (parasympathetic) MDI is also a bronchodilator, not a preventative medication. The preventative meds are leukotriene inhibitors such as Zyflo, or Singulaire, or mast cell inhibitors such as chromolyn sodium (Intal) or nedocromyl (Tilade).


Should Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands unite to form a federation?

It would be a good idea to form a union of somekind between these countries. However they would need to not have trade barriers in place (ie EU) It would foster greater relationships in the pacific.\n\nYou must remember that australia and nz are already moving down that path.\n\nyou could also add countries like guam, micronesia, palau, marshall islands, tokelau, cook islands, wallis and fatuna, and so on and so forth

Can chihuahuas really take asthma away from humans?

What should have been told to you is that studies have shown that people who tend to have attacks of asthma from nervous behavior, do tend to have slight improvment after they get a pet. But if the Asthma is triggered by animal dander then no there is no dog or cat that can help with those types of attacks. Now some people tell you your allergic to a dog or cat because of the fur...not true it's the dander, the skin cells themselves. There is no allergy-free dog or cat.

How much does abortion cost??? and how far can i be until i can't get an abortion anymore?

Every clinic charges a different amount. It normally has to be before the 12th week.\nI considered an abortion when I first found out I was pregnant, but decided against it. I now have a beautiful baby girl who I don't think I could live without. Please make your decision very carefully.\n\nOne of my friends sent me this:\n\nMommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your voice. Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby. \n\n\nMonth Two \nMommy, today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a baby. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here. \n\n\n\nMonth Three \nYou know what Mommy, I'm a boy!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can't hear me. \n\n\nMonth Four \nMommy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes, and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too. \n\n\nMonth Five \nYou went to the doctor today. Mommy, he lied to you. He said that I'm not a baby. I am a baby Mommy, your baby. I think and feel. Mommy, what's abortion? \n\n\nMonth Six \nI can hear that doctor again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor called it a needle. Mommy what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Mommy! HELP me! \n\n\nMonth Seven \nMommy, I am okay. I am in Jesus's arms. He is holding me. He told me about abortion. Why didn't you want me Mommy? \n\n\nEvery Abortion Is Just . . . \n\nOne more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never \nsee. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak


RoyRox, believe me: You don't wanna know...


The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Florida, United States; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda. The area inside these boundaries is approximately 1.5 million square miles (4,000,000 km²).\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle has a reputation for being an area where ships and airplanes dissappear, often under mysterious circumstances. This reputation came to public awareness in the 1950s and became a household name in the 1970s, mostly due to "The Bermuda Triangle", a bestselling book written by Charles Berlitz.\n\nVarious explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.\n\nWhatever the reason, the Bermuda Triangle continues to be a source of inspiration for fiction writers of books, television programs and movies, often showing up attached to some sort of a conspiracy.

I have been in love with \nsomeone for over 20 \nyears how do I get over \nhim?

Well normally I would say run to the nearest exit and so on! However you've continued the relationship with this man, and what's more you've been best friends for a long, long time! That's a lot of invested time/energy/love. I can only assume that the lie you're referring to was a cheating on his part. You had decided to forgive him, but cannot forget. (If this is not so please give more details) Why do you want to leave him now, is he continuing in the same way? - If this is the case, RUN! If not, if you just can't forgive him - then you have to decide whether you can go on without his friendship/love/companionship whatever the case may be! One of my favorite quotes, which I found very true in my case is, "It's not that I can't live without you, but I'd rather live with you." All the best in deciding!

A good philosophical question. I think you're asking whether a person who contributes postively to society is worth more than a person who does not right? Well, it depends on who you ask an dhow close that person is to that particular person. My cousin is a bumbling idiot, but I wouldn't you to save another person over him just becuase of his idiotic nature. \n\nOnly God (SWT) -- I believe in God so don't worry, this is my opinion only -- can decide whether someone is better than another.

As long as the motherboard supports both ram..but its not going to improve much having the 333. It will not harm the memory.\n\nI would stick with the 1gb...if you find yourself needing more ram then you can put the 333 in but note..it will decrease the speed at which the memory operates.

Can my computer be upgraded to support the SSE2 instruction set?  Adobe Premier requires it.?

The instruction set is related to how the CPU processes requests. So the short answer is, if you put in a new CPU that can handle SSE2, then yes.\n\nThe even shorter answer: Considering how old a computer has to be to not support SSE2, you should go ahead and break off the coin for a new machine, if you really want to edit video. Your old box isn't going to cut it. (Pun intended).

How come there can' t be any third parties in the U.S.?

"A party system is a concept in political science concerning the system of government in a state where political parties exist.\n\nThe party system of a state determines how many political parties in a state have a realistic chance of becoming the government, usually through winning elections. Party systems are usually created by a variety of factors, such as the type of electoral system used in a state. For example, the use of First Past the Post in elections to a state's primary legislative assembly (for example general elections) usually results in a two-party system (this theory is called Duverger's law).\n\nA two-party system is a form of party system where only two major political parties exists with a realistic chance of winning an election. Usually this means that the candidates of the two parties that get the most votes hold all, or nearly all, elected offices. Coalition governments occur only rarely in two-party systems, though each party may internally look like a coalition.\n\nTwo-party systems have historically occurred commonly in the so-called Anglosphere nations such as the United Kingdom and former British colonies like Jamaica, New Zealand and the United States. While Americans and Britons often see the two-party system as natural, based on their long experiences with it, it in fact comes about as a product of particular rules and conventions (especially those involving first-past-the-post voting). The two parties that dominate at any particular time thus have an incentive to keep the existing rules in operation, so as to prevent electoral erosion to the benefit of smaller parties."\n\nAnother viewpoint comes from Debbie O'Hara:\n\n"America's political system as set up by our Founding Fathers had no political parties or factions. It wasn't that they didn't know about political parties, but that they were unwelcome. When looking at the factions of Europe, our Founders didn't like what they saw - political intrigue, conspiracy, and hostile divisions. They were afraid that such a system would rip apart the Union. They hoped that in free elections it would be natural for the best men to rise to the top and be elected to office. That is why before the rise of political parties (which made necessary the Twelfth Amendment), the man with the most votes was president and the man with the second most was vice-president. While in a fallen world it might be a bit unrealistic to expect that factions would not appear among diverse peoples, what rule tells us that we must work within a two-party system rather than voting for the best individuals? We have been propagandized into believing that there are only two viable parties because it is much easier for the enemies of a free America to exercise control within a two-party system than to deal with individuals."

hurt at work but now released to go back to work .but job wont let me back can i still get workscomp check?

If a doctor has released you to go back to your job, but there is no work, that means you are laid-off, or unemployed, so you should be able to collect unemployment.  You should have gotten a works man's comp for the time you missed while injured!  If you suspect that they are not letting you back for a reason, then maybe you should see a lawyer!

Dark Matter. Fact or Clutching at straws?

Fact.  Sort of.\n\nWhat is a fact is that every single repeatable measurement of large scale mass shows a very large discrepancy between how much dynamical mass is there (that is to say how much gravity says is there), and how much we can account for using every trick we know (and some we don't).\n\nGalaxy rotation, galaxy cluster temperature, WMAP data, you name it, everything we do to measure dynamical mass of very large objects comes back with us missing large amounds of accountable mass.\n\nEither there is some form of "dark matter" or we are encountering some new aspect of Gravity.  Right now Dark Matter is winning out because no one has been able to come up with a new twist on gravity that gets things right.

Talk to your Dr. about your prognosis. I do not know any statistics and it depends on the type of Cancer and the stage at which it was found. I will tell you this I worked for an ENT Dr. and I have seen some amazing things happen.  There are many factors involved but the most important is your attitude and how you handle the news, treatment and recovery. I have seen it more than once as a Nurse when the patient gives up, it's the end.  I have seen great prosthetics for the nose, mouth and palate. DON'T GIVE UP!!!\nAsk God to show you what you can learn from this disease, pray, and stay positive.  \n\nGood Luck and God Bless:)
