Gout\nGout is a common type of arthritis that occurs when an excessive amount of uric acid in the blood, tissues and urine crystallizes in the joints. People who have gout are unable to break down and excrete uric acid, a byproduct of digesting certain foods. It usually comes on suddenly, and can last from a few hours to several days. It can cause extremely sore toes or other areas of the foot, and because it frequently manifests itself in the big toe, it is also known as "gouty big toe". Another name is "gouty arthritis". Gout can also appear in an ear, heel of the hand, small hand joints, ankles, knees, elbows, or wrists with inflammation, swelling and intense pain from the build-up of uric acid crystals. Uric acid is the end product of the metabolism of a class of chemicals known as purines. In people with gout, the body does not have enough of the digestive enzyme uricase, and, as a result, uric acid builds up and crystallizes. Left uncontrolled, excessive excretion of uric acid in the urine can lead to the development of painful kidney stones, kidney disease, and even kidney failure. \n\nGout is associated with high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and uric acid kidney stones. \n\nIt is estimated that up to 2 million people have gout. Between 75-90% of gout sufferers are middle-aged males and 25% have family members with it. In women, uric acid starts building up after menopause, quite possibly due to the drop in estrogen. \n\nTraditional Treatment \n\nTraditional treatment is high doses of NSAIDS or indomethacin to kill the pain, anti-inflammatories, and drugs, such as allopurinol, that inhibit formation of uric acid. Allopurinol, however, has some serious side effects, such as skin eruptions, liver toxicity, inflammation of the blood vessels, and possible weakening of kidney function by forcing the kidneys to work too hard to excrete the uric acid. If you have kidney problems and use this drug, be sure to be carefully monitored. Another drug that is used is colchicine, but it, too, has serious side effects, including numbness in the hands and feet, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, hair loss, and abnormal bleeding or bruising. Cortisone is used for acute attacks, but should not be used for extended periods. \n\nA new gout drug, febuxostat, which is awaiting FDA approval (2005), has proven to be very beneficial in reducing urate levels. 81% of patients taking the drug had healthy urate levels of less than 6 mg/dl, compared with only 39% who took 300 mg per day of allopurinol, the most widely prescribed gout drug. \n\nYour doctor can diagnose whether or not you have gout either through a blood test or by taking some fluid from an affected joint and analyzing it for urate crystals. \n\nCauses\nGout is caused by high blood levels of uric acid that crystallize and form painful deposits in the joints. Traditional thinking tells us that gout is the result of excessive amounts of alcohol, protein, heavy foods, coffee and soft drinks in your diet. These foods cause uric acid levels to rise. Other foods that increase uric acid are anchovies, asparagus, legumes, mushrooms, meat, organ meat, and shellfish. Reduction in consumption of these foods is very often successful in reducing or eliminating gout.\n\n\nWhile gout is a hereditary metabolic disorder in some people, usually something else actually causes uric acid levels to rise and trigger gout attacks. With approximately one million people suffering from gout, it is certainly a fairly common ailment. However, with understanding of its causes you can eliminate those painful attacks.\n\nFood allergies may lead to gout. When people who are sensitive to certain foods eliminate them from their diet many find that their gout goes away, too.\n\n\nGout is more common in overweight people. Nearly half of the people with gout are at least 15% above their recommended weight. As mentioned below, dieting can trigger gout attacks.\n\nSo

Why does Apple have less problems with malware than Microsoft ?

Because Apple has less users. Bad people are targeting Microsoft because it has the huge market.


I keep breaking out with hives,is it stress related?

Yes, they can be stress-related. They are usually a response to a food or medication, but can also be caused by direct skin contact with something or exposure to cold or heat. Emotional upsets can be the primary trigger of hives. Mind-body techniques like hypnotherapy may be helpful in preventing chronic hives. Antihistamines will often relieve acute episodes but are less successful with chronic hives and, because they are a suppressive treatment, may contribute to persistence of the disorder. \n\nTry using quercetin instead. It works by stabilizing the membranes of cells that release histamine. This brings inflammatory and allergic reactions under control. You can buy quercetin products in health-food stores. The best form is a coated 400 mg tablet, taken twice a day between meals. It can take six to eight weeks of continuous use for quercetin to build up to therapeutic levels in the body. \n\nTo soothe the itching of hives, try cornstarch or colloidal oatmeal added to bath water.\n\n http://www.drweil.com/u/QA/QA114846/\n\nhttp://www.drweil.com/u/Article/A133/


Why does coffee and tea keep some people awake but not others?

Something called a paradoxical reaction.  About 25% of the population have an unexpected, opposite reaction to the same stimulus.  For some people, asprin gives them headaches.  With caffine, you can develope a tolarance for it and in some cases a sensitivity to it that causes paranoia.

Harry Potter is a wonderful series of books that broadens your imagination and lets you escape to a different world. \n I love the fact that so many people are reading books instead of watching tv. Books have so much more potential for imaginative ideas and activities.\n Harry Potter, in particular, is a great example of good vs. evil, and how the good guy is sometimes temporarily defeated but eventually triumphs.

Allows you to minimize, maximize, and restore windows?

You can use the three buttons in the upper right corner of the screen on a Windows machine - not sure about Linux or Mac. The "X" (red on WinXP and some flavors of Linux) closes the window. To Maximize, click the middle button (the "square") and to minimize, click the "_" looking window.\n\nOptionally, you can click the icon on the LEFT top of the screen, select either Minimize, Maximize, and Restore (among other functions.)\n\nAnother tip to restore and maximize windows is to double-click the top window bar (that's the upper edge of the window.) OR, you can right-click on the minimized icon in your systems tray / start toolbar (usually on the bottom of your secreen) and select which function you'd like to perform on that window (Minimize, Maximize, Restore...) again, among others.\n\nAlternately, you can use the task manager (right click on the start bar [usually] on the bottom of the screen, and click Windows for functions which will affect all windows.)\n\nFinally, you can cheat, using your keyboard  - to do the following commands:\n\nAlt-Space, n = Minimize\nAlt-Space, x = Maximize\nand\nAlt-Space, r = Restore.\n\nI hope that answers your question - Good luck!


Why a dime coin is smaller than a nickel (sizewise)?

Dimes were originally made from silver beginning in 1796.  They were smaller than the quarter- and half-dollars, as well as the dollars.  Five-cent pieces were minted only starting in 1866, and were made larger, with a plain edge, and from a copper-nickel composite to distinguish them from the smaller dimes.  In 1965, dimes (along with quarters and half dollars) began to be minted using the same copper-nickel composite, rather than silver.  However, dimes still maintain the small size from tradition.


Why the shape of rainbow is as a semi-circle?

When light is refracted off of droplets of water it enables you to see all the colors that make up white light (sunlight, even light from bulbs.) creating what people more commonly refer to as a rainbow. \n  Go outside on a sunny day and spray the waterhose if you have one. If you look very carefully, you can see that the rainbow you created is not just a semi-circle, but a full circle! The bottom half is harder to see, but it is there. The reason rainbows don't look like that when we see them outside is because we are too low to the ground to see the rest.

what do high heel shoes do to your posture?

High heels do WONDERS for your posture! The heel is actually used by many women to force them to stand taller, straighter, and with their shoulders back. They also shape the calves nicely.\nHaving said that, I think what you meant to ask was whether or not high heels are bad for the body in general, and the answer to this is yes. Your knee joints suffer when you wear heels and they're not great for your back either. In the long run, I suppose this might hurt your posture, but not immediatly.


This is a stab in the dark. But from what I know when you work for someone and you use there name Wagner homes, Well It stayes with them.

when you throw a ball in the air where is the maximum potential energy?

As far as I know, when a ball is THROWN then it is moving, and therefore it has KINETIC ENERGY - due to the motion. Potential energy is the energy objects possess because of their position. Hence, the objects that are on highest ground level have the most potential energy. If the rule of potential energy applies to your case with the throwing of the ball, then the potential energy will be the highest on the tip of the parabola.

what is the role of social solidatiry to achieve national cultural excellence?

Social solidarity or unity, despite cultural differences, makes a culture excellent because it recognizes that there can be unity in diversity.  And this solidarity should be  not just tolerance or passive co-existence (I-don't-harm you-and-you-don't-harm-me type of co-existence) but genuine teamwork type of unity.  This may sound like utopia but for me this would be cultural excellence.

Why Hydrogen and helium and not other elements present throughout the universe?

Lighter elements (like hydrogen and helium) have been present since the beginning of time, and we see them largely in stars undergoing fission and fusion processes.  It is THESE processes (combustion of hydrogen and helium in a star) that CREATE heavier elements.\n\nThis process takes time.  We can only get elements up through iron before we need suns to take over and start crafting heavier ones.  That is why we see predominantly helium and hydrogen... it takes a while to make the rest.

can you pass out from a panic attack and also, how long do they last and what happens when you come out of it?

I myself have panic disorder and have passed out from a panic attack- HOWEVER if you learn how to breath appropriately with your diapragam my therapist told me it is impossible to pass out- look into deep breathing/relaxation exersizes for more on that...\n\nPanic attacks can last anywhere from literally for a few seconds to a few minutes and maybe longer- if its too much longer though, its more likely just a state of severe anxiety instead of an "attack"\n\nWhat happens when you come out of the attack?  well, if you learn the appropriate tools and techniques to deal with a panic attack, you can slowly bring yourself out of it (again with relaxation, breathing, self-talk, etc)and begin to feel calm and eventually back to normal and your body will return to homeostasis

how many years does it take in college for Medical Engineer?

There is no such degree as "Medical Engineer".\n\nYou may be referring to Biomedical Engineering, a specialty which normally is taught at the graduate level, after an initial engineering degree. Most people who go to grad school for Biomedical engineering have initial degrees in electrical or chemical engineering. For a Master's degree it would be at least 1 year after the initial degree and for a PhD or DEng you would need about 2-3 years after the Master's. Total: 4+1+3= 8 years.

Is their an up or down in the space shuttle when it is in space, with no reference? (the earth, moon)?

Although the astronauts can comfortable work in any orientation, the shuttle is generally designed as if the roof were "up" and the wheels were "down".  Of course, the whole cockpit has to be designed like this since the astronauts are in it during landing when there definitely is a diference between "up" and "down".  But if you look closely at the pictures in the links below, you will see that in the work area, most visual cues (like signs and labels) and the workstations are also all oriented in this way.  \nThis means that the astronauts GENERALLY work with the roof being at their heads, which thiers brains will interpert as being "up".\n\nInterestingly, the space shuttle actually flies upside down relative to Earth (the roof and open shuttle bay is usually facing earth).  But even with the windows, the astronauts don't feel like they are upside down- to them, the Earth is just above their heads.\n\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/images/content/124678main_s114e7127.jpg\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/images/content/124681main_s114e7129.jpg\nhttp://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-114/lores/s114e7111.jpg\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/images/content/124669main_s114e7012.jpg\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/images/content/124666main_s114e7001.jpg\n\nAbout your Jan 4 edits:\nAs I mentioned above, the shuttle generally orbits with the "top" (or "roof" or "bay doors") pointed towards earth.  However, if two shuttles were to meet in space, they would be oriented in whatever manner was appropriate for the manuver they were attempting (docking, payload transfer, etc.)

Greenday was my favorite band in the mid-90s or so, but I still like the current music. Of course it's not exactly the same style. Bands have to be allowed to evolve however they feel. I think the only way they can be seen as posers is that they have kept a some of their old habits which they have outgrown.

When is it too old to go back to school to learn a trade or better my education?

I don't think you are ever too old. People gradute from college at 77, people earn doctorates that late. Most community college vocational or business students are older students. In fact, most college faculty members like older students because they typically are more motivated to learn, understand why they are in college, and have the life experience to put what they learn into some perspective. There are lots of options for older learners, as well.\n\nCheck with your local community college, they will have lots of information and opportunities for more training or education.\n\nHere is an example of what many colleges and universities are offering for adult students:\nhttp://www.ithaca.edu/news/article.php?id=581\n\nCheck out the University College of the University of Maryland, set up strictly for adults:\nhttp://www.umuc.edu/\n\nBest wishes and go for it!!

Rent a movie and ask her over to watch it with you while you eat popcorn.\n\nHave her over when your parents are home though.  Keep in mind that she's also in 6th grade, and her parents are going to want that parental suppervision.

What exactly is a 'force' in physics, and where does it come from?

A 'force' is just a convention.\n\nWhen things happened, such as someone pushed a physics book across a table, some people were curious and believed it was necessary to quantify what was happening.  They devised a set of conventions such as mass, motion, and acceleration.  When an object wasn't moving, and then later was moving, they said that something had acted on it, and they called that something a 'force'.\n\nThen they were able to relate these terms in mathematical equations, such as F=ma; this made it possible to predict what would happen in certain circumstances, so people knew that these conventions were useful.


Religion, in Freud's view, was simply a poor attempt to resolve the needs that often go unmet in human relationships. He developed this idea over 30 years in his enormous body of work, making it the main focus of his 1927 book, The Future of an Illusion, and extending his arguments from individual to society in his long 1930 essay, Civilization and Its Discontents. "Religion may be altogether disregarded," he wrote in the latter work, "Its doctrines carry with them the stamp of the times in which they originated, the ignorant childhood days of this human race." To be truly civilized, he believed, humanity had to be set free of its delusions and construct a better order than religion could give it.\n\nFreud's atheism was not shaken by personal tragedy, though he experienced plenty of it. The proud father of six children, Freud saw two of his sons sent to fight in World War I and lost his daughter Sophie to the flu epidemic shortly thereafter. Cancer of the mouth plagued him for most of his adult life, and led to over 30 operations, through which he never stopped smoking. Freud's Jewish heritage made him a target of the rising anti-Semitism under Hitler's regime, and ultimately forced him to flee with his family to London in 1938. In response, Freud worked all the more fervently on what was to be his final work, Moses and Monotheism. This 1939 book was a retelling of the Hebrew Scriptures that casts Moses as a secular Egyptian hero whom the Israelites reject because his beliefs are too radical, paralleling the psychologist's feelings about his own work in the world.


What should I do to discover the truth of life itself?

I'd say the purpose of life is to live it well, advance as a civilization, & keep it going.  That's what we're always trying to do.


would there have been a johnny ruiz without norman stone, i dont think so...?

Well, I'm sure he would have still been born. Stone wasn't his father or anything. I think he would still have been a pretty good boxer, but as for ever getting a title shot, I'm not sure. A lot of what goes into getting those rankings and title shots has to do with politics.

If you go to the very end of the universe, and....(cntd. inside)?

I believe the universe is a 'closed' shape, meaning that there is no 'edge', however it does have a finite size.  But just to entertain your question, if we one day did reach the End of the Universe we literally would be unable to describe anything on the otherside.  Everything we know about physics, space time, the fundamental forces, the universal constants and so on only exist in this universe.  Anything 'outside' of the universe could potentially then have different laws of physics and thus would be completely beyond our comprehension.  Words would literally fail.

We will wake up without world some day, if we don`t find time to dream?

Your hopes and dreams are what give your world value and purpose.  Postive dreams give us inspiration. Negative dreams can discourage us or tell us about problems we need to fix. But if we take the advice from our dreams, and fix our lives, we will have a better life....


There's nothing wrong with being energetic. I was in your shoes for the longest time. I'm very "bubbly" as well. I dated many guys while I was in high school but we never "clicked" and usually never went out more than once or twice. Finally, my senior year, I found a guy who I thought was wonderful. We dated for 9 months only for him to break my heart. I never thought I would find anyone who could love me for who or how I was. After our break up, I became friends with a guy who had just moved 2 hours to where I live to go to college. We hit things off and he also has a very outgoing personality. 2 and a half years later, we're still together. So, there is someone out there. If you feel you have to change to date a certain person, you don't need them. God intended for everyone to have a soul mate. And when you find yours, he will love you for exactly how you are and wouldn't want you to change. Be yourself and don't be scared.


y is it that before you are given the lethal injection shot your arm is whipped down with an alcohol swab?

Is there anyway to squeeze more money out from a bank with large sum of money that I have ready for invesment?

No. You can't squeeze money out of a bank.  However, you can reduce your costs and therefore increase your potential return. Most mutual funds have "break points" at which they reduce the sales charge. Most start at about $25k. You can get the break points by contributing smaller amounts over a 13 month period. You would use a "letter of intent" to do so. You would still need to meet the $25k requirement, but could do so over time.\n\nAnother option would be a "Managed Account" with a brokerage firm. Minimums run about $25-50k depending on the firm. The advantage is that you pay only a small fee as a percentage of assets under management.\n\nUse this information at your own risk. Consult a financial advisor.


do i need to change my name in passport when old visa contains maiden name, and am now married?

I had this problem, i am Lebanese and after i got married i contacted my consulate here to ask about changing my Last name on the passport and i was told the name remains the same (maiden name). So i guess it depends on your citizenship, just ask your own embassy or consulate.

Has anybody taken  Prednisone, for surgery and if so how much weight gain is there?

It depends on how long you take it, and what the dosage is. I started out taking 90mg a day a VERY high dose, and continued to take it for over 3 months. I gained about 65 lbs. If you only have take for a week you should not gain more than 10 lbs.


What is more important in Algebra.. showing steps, or getting answer? Be precise!?

The final answer is important, but the steps are in some ways far more important. \n\nI do many long computations using algebra and more fancy types of mathematics (calculus, complex analysis, differential geometry etc). Some of the computations take hundreds of pages. Keeping track of the manipulations, being able to check the work for errors (which inevitably creep in), being able to redo the work later for the same or a related problem, being able to check the assumptions and so on are absolutely critical. And to do this, one has to write out all the steps, as clearly and carefully as possible. \n\nShowing the steps is of vital importance if you want to do this kind of work. If you want to be a scientist, or an engineer, or an accountant, or statistician, or any kind of technical person, or to work in any profession where you have to interact with technical people (and these are some of the highest paying, most interesting jobs that exist), you have to be able to analyze complicated problems, and describe to yourself and others carefully how you solved them.\n\nEven if you do not want to work in a profession involved with technical work, the entire reason you are studying algebra is to train yourself to think logically about certain kinds of problems. By not showing your steps, you are shortchanging yourself and hurting yourself, because showing your steps forces you to understand the process of getting an answer much better.\n\nA final reason to show your steps is that if you show your work, it is far less likely that you will be accused of cheating. It is just smart to protect yourself from any kinds of charges like this, if you can.


What do you have to do to become a movie critic?

Watch a lot of movies. Read a lot of movie reviews. Try to get a gig writing movie reviews for a local newsletter or paper to get some experience, and go from there to try building on your successes. \nI guess you could take general writing courses to improve your style. I suppose there are probably courses specifically on writing movie reviews, but it seems like they might be hard to find. It might make sense to take some film courses, although a lot of those are about larger societal issues as reflected in film -- rather than just about the quality of the movies themselves.

make no mistake about it English is the single hardest language in the world to learn.  \n\nbut adjectives and adverbs aren't the difficult part.  by far the most difficult part is the fact that there are exceptions to every rule.\n\nadjectives and adverbs are easy   here's the quick and easy version\n\nlets say you buy a car.    any word that describes that car is an adjective.  blue car, fast car, big car, small car \n\nadjectives describe things.\n\nadverbs describe verbs its right there adVERB.\n\nlets say    he ran.  the noun is he the verb is ran\n\nadverbs describe verbs  so   ran slowly, ran quickly, ran awkwardly.  the words that describe how he did the action (verb)\n\nkeep at it more and more people around the world are starting to learn english as a second language so doubtless it will become very usefull in the future.

how likley is it that texas will beat usc in the rose bowl tomorrow?

I'd call the odds even.  USC hasn't played a decent defense, let alone a top 5 one like Texas.  Only Ohio State has held Texas under 40.\n\nI think Texas needs 35 points to win.  And I think they can get that with little difficulty.  Of course, with Bush and Jarrett, USC is never really out of a game.  but I don't see them keeping up with texas's offense.\n\nTurnovers either way, of course, could blo wit open either way.

14lbs\n\nStone (weight)\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.\nJump to: navigation, search\n\nA stone is a unit of mass in the Imperial system of weights and measures used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most Commonwealth countries. It is equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, or 6.35029318 kilograms.\n\nThough no longer an official unit of measure – in medical and other technical contexts kilograms are used – the stone remains almost universally popular for use in Britain and Ireland as a means of expressing human body weight. People in these countries would normally describe themselves as weighing, for example, "11 stone 4" (11 stone and 4 pounds).\n\nIt was also frequently used in the past for weighing agricultural commodities. Potatoes, for example, were traditionally sold in stones or half-stones (14-pound or 7-pound quantities).\n\nIn the United States and Canada, where stone as a unit of weight is generally unknown, people would normally describe themselves as weighing "158 pounds" (using the same amount of weight as in the previous example). This usage of pounds alone to express body weight is very unusual in Britain and Ireland.


We remember the days without threat of HIV and days without "Terrorism". Is it goin to end someday.?


I love Judas Priest.  Rob Halford is one of the best heavy metal singers out there. Glenn tipton and KK Downing are great guitarist.  I have almost all thier albums, but my farovites are Britsih steel and scream for vengeance.

They don't get enough credit that they deserve.


How do you explain light's apparent "consciousness" in Einsten's light slit experiment?

Because our view of reality is inaccurate, and only when we formulate experiments in certain ways do we reveal this. In some cases, the mathematics we have is inadequate to describe reality. That is, to do the "calculations" we have to do things that are "illegal" mathematically, but nevertheless end up with answers that can be accurately verified experimentally.


How a person might has HIV(AIDS)?(please tell me all the ways)?

The key is for certain bodily fluids to be exchanged between two people -- one of whom has HIV.\n\nMajor ways include:\na) Unprotected sex (certain types are riskier than others).  This includes M/M (probably highest risk), F/F and F/M (probably the greatest current source of spread).\nb) Blood transfusions in the early 80s (not now);\nc) IV drug abuse with shared needles;\nd) Accidental exposure of health care workers (needle stick, surgery nick)\ne) HIV positive moms to newborns.\n\nOther ways that are, at least in theory, possible (if very rare or undocumented): \na) contaminated medical instruments (there is thought to be one case in Florida with dental intruments that had not been properly sterilized)\nb) Any other fluid exchange.  For example kissing is thought to be very low risk.  OTOH, if both persons had open wounds inside the mouth...\nc) Blood to blood contact (i.e., boxing).


1000 Milli-amps = 1 Amp.  "Milli" is the prefix that means 1/1000 of something, like a Millimeter (1/1000 of a meter), or a Milliliter (1/1000 of a Liter).  It's used frequently in the Metric system, along with the prefixes "Centi" (1/100 of something) and "Deci" (1/10 of something).\n\nCommon rulers that have metric markings will often have Millimeter marks part of the way down.

is is better to open a restaurant/club or just restaurant?

Food cost and payroll generally eats up 70-80% of your revenue (i.e. you make 20-30% profit); and the vast majority of restaurants go bankrupt after less than one year.\n\nOn the other hand, profits on liquor sales tend to be higher (40-60%), but it can sometimes be difficult getting the necessary licenses to sell anything more than beer and wine.\n\nSo, I say restaurant and bar, if possible.


NET is the Microsoft Web services strategy to connect information, people, systems, and devices through software. Integrated across the Microsoft platform, .NET technology provides the ability to quickly build, deploy, manage, and use connected, security-enhanced solutions with Web services. .NET-connected solutions enable businesses to integrate their systems more rapidly and in a more agile manner and help them realize the promise of information anytime, anywhere, on any device.\n\nThe Microsoft platform includes everything a business needs to develop and deploy a Web service-connected IT architecture: servers to host Web services, development tools to create them, applications to use them, and a worldwide network of more than 35,000 Microsoft Certified Partner organizations to provide any help you need.  \n\nWhat Are Web Services?\nIf you ask a developer what Web services are, you'll hear something like, "self-describing software modules, semantically encapsulating discrete functionality, wrapped in and accessible via standard Internet communication protocols like XML and SOAP."\n\nBut if you ask a business leader who has implemented Web service-based solutions, you'll get a different kind of answer. You'll hear that Web services are an approach that helps the business connect with its customers, partners, and employees. They enable the business to extend existing services to new customers. They help the business work more efficiently with its partners and suppliers. They unlock information so it can flow to every employee who needs it. They reduce development time and expense for new projects. You'll hear less about what Web services are and more about what they enable the business to do. \n\n\nFor More Information : \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/net/basics.mspx

Ladies, would you allow your husband of two years to start stripping, on weekends for extra cash? why?

Yes, I would.\n\nIf he was serious about it, it's not my job as his partner to rule his life. It wouldn't make me notably uncomfortable. The only thing that would make me hesitate is if he didn't ever want me to come see him perform. I think it would be fun to watch him now and then and, as long as this new activity isn't shutting me out entirely, I'd be happy to let him take his gear off and get down.\n\nI'd want to know all the details, of course. A club for men? Women? Couples? Bachelorette parties?\n\nHe would also be expected to take me out to dinner once in a while, but that would be true even if he wasn't stripping.

Does anyone know anything about Solar water tanks? Do they really save you money?

Solar water heaters are a very effecient way to reduce the heating cost of your water supply and your home temperature if the correct system is installed. Sunnier states provide a better benefit than those with long winters and cloudy skies but they will still operate effectively enough to be beneficial.  The typical cost of a small system is recovered in 4-12 years depending on the purchase price and locale.

How can I encourage my wife of 22 years to initiate love making and to learn creativity in this area?

First off congratulations on 22 years, that is an incredible feat in today's society.  I can't wait till I hit that mark with my husband.\n\nThere are several courses of action you could take.  If you think  your relationship is strong enough just simply sit her down and tell her how important it is to you that you need a change.  Be honest with her.  Be specific about what you'd like her to do more often.  Give her examples of what you'd like her to try, and make them easy ones at first.\n\nMaybe suggest to her that you see a sex counselor.  I'm guessing that your wife is at least in her low if not mid 40's.  For women of that generation we were told to be sexually free but not how to go about it.  You'd be suprised at how many middle aged women need to even learn the art of self pleasure.\n\nAnother route would be to lead by example.  Set up a romantic evening and introduce a new toy, or a soft core video.  Maybe a massage with some lotion.  Maybe once you help her to discover her sexual self she'll be more open to initiating it.\n\nBe patient and hang in there.

can you help me solving business maths & stats questions of mba level?


Are you really capable of giving an answer after exhaustion settles within you?

yes i believe you are capable of giving a good answer for myriad reasons \n\nhere are 2\n\nfirst i think your opinion on a subject and the advise you are likely to render are decided LONG before you become bored or frusterated with trying to help. therefor once you actually get the chance to help you will likely render the advise as you would under other circumstances.\n\nsecondly if the first case is not true then it could be that your subconsious is that which is giving the advise (only in extreem cases like if you are REALLY TIRED) Here is where i have personal experiance.\n\nI am what is known as a somnambulant.  that means i walk+talk in my sleep.  when you are unconsious.  your SUBCONSCIOUS mind is in control.  the subconsious is not only very protective but also very perceptive more so than the conscious mind.  it also does not have a tendency to get bored.  it will take the information being fed to it taking in factors like the tone of voice of the person seeking advice thier nervousness many of the subtleties that the conscious brain would filter out.  it will process all the information given and will often render better advice on the situation than you would have done if you were fully conscious.\n\nI have had this happen to me on several occasions.  the phone rings.  I'm asleep.  I answer the phone anyway.  a friend tells me the problem.  I tell them what they should do.  they call me up the next day and tell me they did as I suggested and things went much better than they could have hoped.  I ask them what advice?  say ??? you dont remember??? we were on the phone last night for like 3 hours talking about it.  I say.  haven't got a clue what you're talking about.  they say well thanx anyway. I say your welcome. simple as that.\n\nthere is a book called the power of the subconscious mind.  maybe try reading it.\n\nas for the rest of your questions.  why do we stretch ourselves for others is there general good will within them?  well I don't really know how to answer that but by saying. it could just be that thats how most of us were created.  or it could be a factor of the moral values instilled in us as we were brought up.  I have a tendency to agree with this last one given that they stopped teaching moral values in school (this is right and this is wrong!) and children are now taught whatever you feel, is right.  its no wonder children are more violent, rude, immoral, and well a lot of other things these days.

I have read that the skyline is coming to the U.S. If so what do u think about that?

The Nissan Skyline V35 is available here as *dun dun dun!* The Infiniti G35. It is NOT, I repeat, NOT the GT-R R35 model yet. The new GT-R will be out around 2007, and yes, it will be available in the U.S. as the Infiniti GT-R. BUT, rumor is that it will be a hybrid car. Let's just hope not. But yes, the Skyline is already in the U.S., but not the GT-R. Remember, other than the GT-R, there were different versions for older Skylines, like the Skyline 25GT, GTS-T, RS Turbo, etc. There's even a 4 door rear wheel drive R34 Skyline (That's the 25GT ER34) Ken "Nomuken" Nomura drives one in D1 Grand Prix.

What are the best all around skis for an intermediate to very good skier?

volkl has great skis, very springy for a stiff german style stick.  i prefer the 5 star as an all round ski for many conditions. it may be important to decide where you'll be most often skiing though.  is the snow usually dry groomed off piste heavy and that sort of thing.  this will help answer what waist you should primarily look at. also your weight height skiing style. see a pro where you do most of your skiing, pick her brains and then decide later based on the many factors outside of whats in their shop.  also look at sierratrading post for deals on ski packages.  i know they were offering a great pair of rossi carvers for about 500 bucks.

Why is it bad to lose more than 2-3 pounds per week? Wouldn't it be really bad for people that get lipo then?

asuming "it bad to lose more than 2-3 pounds per week" I would say the reason is any drastic change would be a distorsion to a state of ballance that the body have been used to\n I belive Liposuction does the same but with medical attention the disterbance of the equelebrium is corrected as much as posseble so the effects are diminished

what is the best way to cure a headache?

Experts say one of the main causes of headaches is stress, and to get headache relief you have to learn to deal with the stress in your life. Everyone has stress; some stress is good, like a new baby, job, or house, while some is bad, like a failing relationship or a boss that you don't get along with. Here are three tips to help you deal with stress and get some headache relief.\n\nKeep a journal and record what's going on in your life, especially when you get a headache. You'll be able to see what situations cause you the most stress and which cause headaches for you. You'll also feel better when you get things off your chest. You may be able to avoid those situations that are most stressful, or you can find a way to deal with them.\n\nAnother way to get headache relief is to take good care of yourself. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, get enough rest, quit smoking, and limit your alcohol and caffeine intake. All of these actions will help you feel better and make you less likely to get a headache in the first place and more able to handle stress.\n\nSpend time with yourself. Set aside time everyday, even if it's just five minutes, to relax and do whatever you want. Read, soak in a hot tub, or meditate. You'll feel more relaxed, and when you're more relaxed, you're less likely to get a headache.

whats the best way to lose 15lbs safely?

increase water consumption to 80 oz. a day, break your meals down into no less than 4 (so you keep your energy up and don't bombard your body with too much in one shot), increase your activity level, restrict your sugar and carb intake and be mindful of your portions.  A carb should be no larger than your clenched fist and a protein should be no larger than the palm of your hand.  Make your carbs and proteins the side dishes and vegetables and some fruits the main affair.

Can the existence of God be scientifically proven?

I believe that many people equate God with religion and go on to disproving the existence of God by showing how insane some religions are.\n\nIf you redefine God; if you take away religiosity you may come to understand It as something quite natural and on the verge of being proven. God is the collective consciousness and energy of the entire Universe.\n\nMuch of what has been written in to religious texts has been done so by primitive individuals (by modern standards). They had very limited descriptive terms and points of reference. So, that is where you get some of the silly religious beliefs.\n\nFor instance, when someone tells you God is omnipotent, omnscient, etc. and then goes on to tell you he knows what God wants . . . well, perhaps that person does not understand the menaing of omnipotent. An omnipotent God can not want anything and if It did, a human individual could never comprehend it anyway. \n\nHowever, when you come to understand energy as a carrier of information and energy as something all present throughout the universe, you may come to the conclusion that God is the sum of all of the energy in the universe.\n\nAs for whether or not God has intelligence . . .I believe intelligence is an inherent universal trait and electrical energy is the carrier of intelligence. So, if a small, lumpy glob of gray matter, like our brain, can muster up some intelligence, imagine what the total universal energy can muster up.\n\nThese types of concepts were not available to those who founded religions.\n\nIf you are able to, get yourself a movie called "what the BLEEP do we know". In it, Quantum Physics and Superstring Theory are described by the physiscists currently involved in the field. Watch the expressions on their faces as they describe to you the reality as they've come to understand. Listen to their spiritual understandings based on their studies, then, come to your own conclusions. After all, science is not much more than man looking, listening and coming to his/her own conclusion. The very essence of scientific theory.

The premise of the quote is rooted in the belief that first of all there is a 'truth' to be known.  And knowing that truth and being unhappy because of that truth is better then living under false pre-tense and feeling happy.  ie. having a girlfriend who you know is cheating on you and staying with her. Is better than being happy and not knowing that your girlfriend is cheating on you.\n\nI think the quote takes the possibly to the extreme.  The person who created this quote doesn't necessarily believe that the 'truth' means that someone will be unhappy.  Rather that the 'truth' is the most important thing.

What are the properties of Diamagnetic levitation?

A material which is predominantly diamagnetic will be repelled by a magnet, although typical objects only feel a very small force. This can be used to levitate light pieces of pyrolytic graphite or bismuth above a moderately strong permanent magnet. As water is predominantly diamagnetic, this property has been used to levitate water droplets and even live animals, such as a grasshopper and a frog.

my house was broken into, Can i file and claim it to my tax as loss?

Yes and no..\n"If your property is destroyed, damaged, or stolen due to casualty or theft, you may be entitled to a tax deduction."\n\n"If your property is covered by insurance, file a timely insurance claim for reimbursement of the loss. Otherwise you cannot deduct this loss as a casualty or theft. This does not apply to the portion of the loss not covered by insurance. "\n\n"To claim a casualty or theft loss, you must complete  Form 4684 (PDF), Casualties and Thefts, and attach it to your return. You may claim casualty or theft loss of personal use property only if you itemize deductions on  Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF)."

What should i get my boyfriend for valentine's day?

Once I gave my husband a dozen roses, and a mini-pictorial of our lives together, from dating, through children, and put little stickers on each photo describing what he means to me.. Such as thank you for loving me, being my best friend, being the first thing I see in the morning, and last thing I see at night (on a pic of him snoozing), for the family we planned, and the surprises you've given( on a photo of us at hospital with our surprise baby).. and so on.. he liked it, but he forgot the flowers at work, sometimes guys are just too macho for their own good. I have heard that many florist make up candy baskets, with salty and sweet snacks and sodas in it personalized for your boyfriends taste, I'd do that, but no balloons.. or they may get "left at work" too ;) ;) \nThen when he gets home, play some of his favorite music and have dinner, or go out, for that matter, it's your Valentines Day too, and just enjoy each other for the rest of the evening


am i the onlt girl in the world that doesn't have a boyfriend?

my ex and me just call it off like a 2mo. ago i think he still likes me but i dont know what to say to him?

Noooo . . . don't tell him you love him . . . please don't.\n\nif you both broke up because of differences . . . those differences are still there . . . plus . . . if you keep changing you mind on him . . . back and forth and so on . . . he will lose respect for you.\n\nIf he calls you up . . . out of the blue 9 out of 10 times is because he is looking for a booty call.  I had a girl leave me for an ex- and then she got dumped 2 months later and wanted to come back to me . . . I said no.\n\nYou both broke it off for reason. . . stick to your decision . . . and make the best you can out of your life.

Most Armenians can understand enough of both.


Why, when I type a search term in Yahoo, do I get sent to other ANNOYING third-party 'search pages'?

the best way to not have this happen is just be able to recognize them. Usually they just are pages with a HUGE list of keywords, and when you type in thier keywords, it makes a page for you from that. So on popular stuff like work at home youll see a lot of those. After a while you'll  be able to recognize them without even clicking on them.\n\n(all those work at home scams are scams btw)


i have tried to eat eat and exercise(lifting weight) but it wont work.my body metabolism is too high or what?

Do this before you spaz out anymore.  Wrap your thumb and ring finger around the narrow part of your wrist.  If they overlap (my guess is they will), you have what is called a narrow frame.  You're built for speed not power my friend.  Keep eating well, keep working out, research and try different supplements, but realize there are genetic limitations on all of us.  If you're under 25 you probably have about 10-30 natural pounds of solid 'man thickness' (I think Stuart Scott from ESPN used that term about Barry Bonds) coming your way as your body matures.  You'll find a natural weight that feels good, don't worry.  Remember, your frame is built that way for a reason.  It won't do you any good in 20 years to be carrying around 50 excess pounds, whether it's muscle or fat.  Measure yourself by how you feel, not how much you weigh or what someone else looks like or weighs.  Every day in the gym should only be a competition against yourself.  Beat the you of yesterday and enjoy the victory.\nRemember, every pound over what your body is built for is extra strain on your system to maintain, and will require extra calories as well.  Do you really want to spend your life shoveling mass quantities of food into your gullet just to acheive a number on some inanimate device?  Be strong, be lean, and be well my friend.


How can I get my husband to talk dirty to me in the bedroom.?

Is the water table changing rapidly in North Florida around Hilliard and Callahan?

after looking around at the usgs fl page for groundwater levels and recent precipitation records, i would guess that your water table has risen somewhat. from what i gather, this is normal fluctuation.  my answer is nothing more than a guess, because the data i looked at doesn't really support any other cause.  (all that just to say "I don't know.)


my husband wants me to use a strap-on on him...is this odd?

Not at all!  In fact, it's perfectly fine.  I've dated plenty of men who find it incredibly erotic...they like the submission aspect of it.  It has nothing to do with "gay tendencies."  And honestly, there are so few other ways to stimulate the prostate, right?  \n\nYou may want to talk with your hubby about some other aspects of Domination and submission.  I bet he would get a real kick out of serving you :)\n\nHave fun!

They don't actually call it a church but I've been to the Kingdom Hall .I like it because they stand up there and talk and give helpful information instead of standing there preaching just to hear themselves talk. I am not a witness but one day would love to be one. They just tell the truth.


where can i get free music off the internet?

You can download the music for free from the following websites :\n\nhttp://www.purevolume.com/\nhttp://www.somesongs.com/\nhttp://www.webjay.org/\nhttp://www.coolgoose.com/\nhttp://www.soundclick.com/\nhttp://www.mag4you.com/\nhttp://www.epitonic.com/\nhttp://www.emusic.com/ -> 50 songs free upon sign up\n\nThe other option is using P2P softwares like Limewire(http://www.limewire.com), Ares(http://www.aresgalaxy.org/), Bearshare (http://www.bearshare.com) as the other users have already thrown light on that, so I don't need to repeat it again. But remember on thing, its always better to subscribe to some service, paying a minimal fee per month. Both legally, as well as it would give the artists their due share for their artistic creation, and encourage them further to make better songs.

What does it mean to be awake at all times, in your life, and why is this essential?

I agree with you about what true religion is - so does the Bible - see Isaiah 58 and the two great commandments in the New Testament.  \nHopefully, my wakefulness will allow me to receive blessings like the blueness of that sky, and to be a blessing to others.\nI love what "Davidness" says - many of us have had that feeling. I recently came to the conclusion that it's because  we want that glorified body that God's Word promises to those who will accept his grace and walk in His ways. The ultimate space program will require no money or special technology. I know it sounds amazing, but there must be some reason certain longings have been put in our hearts!\n"...and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"\nPlease seek God's face on this and all other important matters - He promises to be found. \nAlso, our lives are so short. There is no time to waste - take this from a person who has wasted a lot of it. \nSolomon said this, "...a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that will cheer him in his work all the days of his life." Ecclesiastes 8:15\n\nIn one Bible version he said, "When I studied to become wise, I discovered that a man can work at it day and night, hardly ever sleeping, and still not be wise. No matter how hard a man tres, he can never fully understand why things happen the way they do or why God permits certain things and not others. Even if a wise man says he understands, he cannot really comprehend it all." Eccl. 8:16\nTake care. And STAY AWAKE.

if a 16 year old is on probation, isn't she supposed to get off of it at the age of 17?

Laws on probation and punishment of juveniles vary by state.  The person might even have been charged as an adult, so it is really impossible to give a specific answer to your question without more facts.\n\nThe minor or parent should be able to read the court's file.  In the file, you will find the record of the conviction and the sentence.  The sentence should specify how long probation was to be or when it terminates.


If your boyfriend asked you to go to a dance would you go!??

You never know how until you try and learn.  I tripped over my feet and still do (shhh don't tell anyone).\n\nYou are shy, block out the world.  It's you and him on the dance floor.\n\nPeople don't like you.  That's their problem.\n\nThe girl should go.  Make him happy and fears should not stand in the way of either persons happiness.  To do it takes courage and shows it's true colors in the face of fear.


Market capitalization, often abbreviated to market cap, is a business term that refers to the aggregate value of a firm's outstanding common shares. In essence, market capitalization reflects the total value of a firm's equity currently available on the market. This measure differs from equity value to the extent that a firm has outstanding stock options or other securities convertible to common shares. The size and growth of a firm's market capitalization is often one of the critical measurements of a public company's success or failure. However, market capitalization may increase or decrease for reasons unrelated to performance such as acquisitions, divestitures and stock repurchases.\n\nMarket capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding common shares of the firm and the current price of those shares. The term capitalization is sometimes used as a synonym of market capitalization; more often, it denotes the total amount of funds used to finance a firm's balance sheet and is calculated as market capitalization plus debt (book or market value) plus preferred stock.

It's all scripted, however, sometimes things do go wrong.  Some of the injuries are real, but the majority are fake.  I mean, you can't fake getting jumped on!  Some of those moves do hurt, but the athletes/actors do a damn good job of making us think it hurts when it's a missed punch or what not!\n\nAnd the blood is sometimes theatrical, sometimes real.  Ric Flair mentioned it in "To Be the Man" - they'd cut a small gash themselves, but the face (and hands for that matter) tends to bleed quite a bit...thus a lot of effect with minimal damage.\n\nI've noticed a lot of people just stating that WWF is now WWE - but do you know why?  Because they were sued by the World Wildlife Fund for the initals, so they switched to World Wrestling Entertainment instead of Federation.  It's a Trivial Pursuit question!
