I am an aspiring singer/songwriter, how can I find a legit place that would be interested in songwriters?

Write your songs, learn about copywriting and contact singers you know.  Start local and small. and work your way to more prominent singers.  You can get noticed if your good.  \n\nthe main point is not give up and keep writing.  All you need is a hit to get noticed.

Why do so many of the Earth's landmasses taper to a point towards the south?

Techtonic scientist who study continental drift (which is ongoing) believe that at one time long ago almost all land masses were collected into a huge circle called Pangea (meaning all land).  When it split up to drift into present locations it was probably pure coincidence why pointy parts of land masses pointed one way rather than another.  My pet theory is that luna tides (that affect the oceans and earth's crust) may have biased the direction of "cracks" in the land masses, but perhaps I'm just a luna-tick.  Incidentally the term lunatic originally applied to scientists who met once a month when they could travel at night with the aid of the light of a full moon.


Buffalo is not an endangered species. I hear of legal hunting partys that people go out and shoot buffalo. The only restriction would be the firearms laws where you live. There are no trips scheduled for Central Park New York City. If you are not farmilliar with the firearms rules, check with the local authorities. Buffalo is also does not require a permit to hunt or shoot. Just think cow.


How long does it take to  pass a kidney stone?  Does the pain increase?

It isn't any more painful for males than women... speaking as a woman who has had them twice.  I've also had four kids and would choose having another kid over a kidney stone any day.  There is no timeframe for passing stones. They either pass or they don't, and they take their own sweet time.  The first one I had was a couple weeks of severe pain and peeing blood.  The second was off and on pain for a month and peeing blood.  I had to have lithotrypsy done that time because the size of the stone was comparative to a marble and it wouldn't have passed.  Make sure you see a urologist if you suspect a stone. If it gets lodged in the urethra and doesn't allow urine to pass then it can damage your kidney.


Well, peace is always good since it prevents the unecessary death of others.  War would be good if you run a major corporation and can profit off it.


The Wall Street Crash of 1929, also called the Great Crash or the Crash of '29, is the stock-market crash that occurred in late October, 1929. It started on October 24 ("Black Thursday") and continued through October 29, 1929 ("Black Tuesday"), when share prices on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) collapsed. However, the days leading up to the 29th had also seen enormous stock-market upheaval, with panic selling and vast levels of trading interspersed with brief periods of recovery.\n\nThe stock market lost 40% of its value in September and October of 1929. From a high of 381.17 on September 3, 1929, to a low of 41.22 in July, 1932, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 89%.\n\nBoom-bust theory\nKeynesian, Monetarist, and Austrian economists agree that the Crash followed an alleged speculative boom that had taken hold in the late 1920s, which had led millions of Americans to invest heavily in the stock market, even borrowing money to buy more stock. Banks lent heavily to fund this share-buying spree.\n\nThis investment drove share prices up to artificially high levels; the rising share prices encouraged more people to invest, as they hoped the shares would rise further, thus fueling further rises, and creating an economic bubble. On October 24, 1929 (with the Dow just off its September 3rd peak from at 381.17), the bubble finally burst and panic selling set in. Thirteen million shares were sold in the space of one day, as people desperately tried to dispose of their shares before they became worthless.\n\nOver the following few days another thirty million shares changed hands and share prices collapsed, ruining many investors.\n\nThe banks which had lent heavily to fund share buying found themselves saddled with debt, which caused many banks to fail.\n\nWhile millions of people lost their savings, businesses lost their credit lines and were forced to close, causing massive unemployment.\n\nThe crash dramatically worsened an already fragile economic situation, and was a major contributing factor to the Great Depression. There is a good deal of controversy among economists and historians about the nature of that contribution, though. Some hold that political over-reactions to the crash, such as in the passage of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act through the US Congress, caused more harm than the crash itself.\n\nExplanation from supply-side economic theory\nMany commentators view the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act as a consequence of the Crash, since the act was not signed by President Hoover until June of 1930. However, supply-side economists (and others) argue that stock-market prices anticipate future profits. The Crash reflected investors’ rational expectations that tariffs would raise prices for U.S. consumers (both final consumers and manufacturers that used the imported products as inputs) and reduce firms’ future profits.\n\nSupply-siders also blame two tariff laws for the earlier, sharp recession of 1920-21.\n\nThe Crash of 1929 and the subsequent Great Depression were in part longer and deeper for three reasons: [9]\n\nThe Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act applied tariffs to more than 3,200 products (many more than the previous tariffs). \nThe tariff rates were very high — averaging 60%. \nOther countries responded by enacting their own tariffs against U.S. goods in retaliation.

A simple question: why do people need religion?

People need religion because they are scared to face the truth.  Thinking that there is someone or something more intelligent and powerful than you who is looking out for you and loves you and has your best interests at heart is more comforting than accepting the truth.  If people accepted the truth, then they would realize how insignificant and powerless they are in proportion to the universe, and that would just be way too hard for most people to face.  Religion offers answers, and tells you that everything will be easy if you 'just believe in whatever'.  Religion tells people that they are the 'special ones' the 'chosen ones' that they are right in everything they do if they only believe.  Also religion symbolizes things that are actually taking place in people's lives.  Just about everyone can relate to the religious stories if they try.  I believe that things can be learned from religion, but only if it is taken purely as symbolisim.  like little kid's stories that teach lessons, only religious stories are meant to teach bigger lessons to everyone.  It's easy to see why so many people desperately need religion and take it as fact.

How to file a motion to set amounts in a tax sale/lien foreclosure  in maryland?

If the foreclosure happened less than 6 months ago, I am pretty sure you can go into the county treasurer's office and pay off the taxes, interest, penalty and costs and get the property back with the tax lien dropped.\n\nIf it is longer than that, I am not sure.

You ask what the numbers mean - your viral load at 5000 is good.  It would be better at undetectable - but you would need to be on medications for that to happen.\nYour cd count (also called T-cell count) indicated how strong your immune system is, and how the virus has damaged it.  386 is ok, but not great - you're in a phase we call HIV-symptomatic.  This means you may get simple infections easier than someone with a healthy immune system. (simple infections like thrush, easier to get colds, sinus infections, etc.)\n\nHere's how we break it down:\nHealthy immune system - 800 - 1200 T cells\nHIV Symptomatic T-cell count at 500 and under\nAIDS diagnoses when your T-cells are at 200 and below.\n\nI'm going to assume that you have a doctor, otherwise you wouldn't know what your viral load & cd4 counts are.  Many doctors wait until your t-cells are closer to 200, or your viral load begins climbing to begin medication.  It's perfectly reasonable & safe.  \n\nYour doctor should have explained what the numbers mean to you.  If they did, and you didn't understand - please tell them that.  It's very important for physicians and other health care providers to be able to explain medical information in easy to understand terms without a lot of jargon.\n\nCongratulations on your increasing cd4 counts by the way!  Try to stay healthy & keep in touch with your physician!

Which branch of government has gained the greatest power?

The Judicial Branch. They are able to legislate from the bench by fiat and it is all but impossible to overrule their decisions. Recently they virtually eliminated the concept of private property and have decided in the past that the First Amendment can be severely restricted, just to name a few. The Constitution includes a procedure for amending the Constitution, but the U.S. Supreme Court has managed to bypass these controls time and again.\n\nThe Executive Branch and The Legislative Branch remain a good check and balance over each other, but the Judicial Branch has become a loose cannon.

I am 23 yrs old with very poor credit. How can i go about trying to correct my problem?

Actually, you are already on your way. Simply being aware of the importance of good credit - and then making a plan to maintain your credit is a big step. \n\nThe first thing you need to do is get a recent copy of your credit report. Go to one of the major credit bureaus (www.equifax.com, www.transunion.com, or www.experian.com) and buy a report WITH scores. If you've recently been turned down for credit you can request one (in writing) from each of the bureaus for free. You goal is to get your score above 700. If you have any loans - you must get those current. Do this BEFORE you pay any accounts in collections (if you have those). You'll also want to get up to three credit cards with balances of at least $300. Use the cards once per month to buy something small - and if you need to, give the cards to your parents so you won't spend on them. Keep a very small balance (not zero) on the cards. \n\nDo this and you'll be in great shape within 12 months.\n\nBe well.

what are the functions of management information system director?

Typically this would be an upper management level position who reports to the CIO (Chief Information Office) and supervises those who manage the hardware, software, communications, etc.  Unless we're talking about a small organization, this person probably wears a suit, spends most of their time managing and in meetings, and doesn't write code, fix broken printers, or handle help desk calls.\n\nBut don't get me wrong - in a large organization, when you have 100 or more subordinates, it a big job to manage all that - they don't normally have the TIME to write code, fix broken printers, or handle help desk calls.\n\nBut in a small organization, you regularly see the director doing hands-on stuff as well.

What's a good home remedy for a yeast infection?

Acidophilus. Not sure if I spelled that right. You can get it from the healthfood store. Also aloe vera is helpful. They both help to maintain the ph balance. Both of these can help, but not cure a yeast infection. You can get medication over the counter. I'd use the medication first & the herbals as a preventative measure. Also, watch your intake of sugar.

Is it possible to dispute the ambulance charge?

The above: wow.\n\nBut as to your question (which is really two questions....how to do it, and do you have a chance):\n\nI'd start with the ambulance company.  Call or write and ask if they have a procedure to dispute a charge.  If they don't, ask what they suggest you should do if you want to dispute the charge.\n\nDon't know what state you're in, but in my state, ambulance companies are licensed and/or regulated by someone...the city, the county, the state, or whoever.  Find out who that is, and contact them with the same questions.\n\nIf you can afford to do so, contact an attorney.\n\nI would wonder, however, did you ask about the cost of the ambulance?  Don't know why you would expect anyone to tell you if you didn't ask.\n\nDid you ask if you could have your spouse drive you?\n\nAnd finally, did you think this was going to be free?  I'm not trying to be a smart-a$$, and maybe there's a good reason you didn't ask these questions at the time, but if you could have asked before the ride, that certainly seems like it would have been a better time to ask than now.  Best of luck with it, though.

Why are there so many kids with autism nowadays?

It's kind of like the outbreak of ADD, more people are looking for the signs, thus more kids are being diagnosed with it. But also like ADD, they're reaching out, like you said, to a broader spectrum of kids, having varying degrees of Autism from very little to full blown. Years ago before Autism was understood this much (which it really isn't understood much at all), they would probably only diagnose the kids with the full-blown disorder rather than encompass with that label the kids who only have it slightly, so that attributes mostly. THe more popular reasoning, which is what people use to reason the outbreak of ADD, is that more psychiatrists are more ready to diagnose it, and more parents are ready to accept that disorder as a reason for their children's odd behavior, but which they may not suffer from necessarily. \n\n\nCheck out the DSM IV, I think there's some of it online, it gives the symptoms needed to diagnose every psychological disorder that is diagnosed today.


iam 37 years old ihavent married yet what is the age of girl that i can marry?

I recomend picking someone like you.  My rule of thumb I can pick a guy who's five years older than me or two years yonger than me.\n\nSo if you're a guy, then pick a girl between 32 and 39 years old.\n\nIf you find a young one, I'd guess you'd face major challenges in about five years.  Think it through.  You're body is soon going to shrivel up.  No matter the culture, a young person is going to be attracted to youth.  So if you insist to get a young thing, be pre-paired for infidelity.


The lay up shot is a very common type of shot used in basketball.  You never get much of a chance to take a shot at the net from a standing still position.  You usually have to find an opening and move in quickly.  If you do the lay up shot correctly it almost always scores.  It is a very difficult shot to learn because you have to dribble, know when to jump and aim for the sweet spot on the backboard.\n\nTrust me, it is almost always an effective shot.  Try standing still, and throw the ball at that sweet spot.  The ball always goes in.

In what way is time simular to the spacial dimensions.?

If you tell someone that you are going to meet them somewhere, the information is useless unless you specify a time.  Any event's location is dependent on the four dimensions, 3 spatial and one temperal.  You can alter the way you move through time by altering the way you move through space (Einstein's theory of relativity), however time has a direction because of the second law of thermodynamics, disorder increases with time.  So in spatial dimensions you can stop or change directions.  This is not an option with time though.

can someone suggest a good management course i can take while working in germany ?

It depends on what courses are offered in the area in which you will be living in Germany.  I personally find that interpersonal management classes are the best.  Because you can learn a trade on the job in a few days, but it takes practice and seeing cases and examples of how to actually DEAL with people and problems.

how many miles is the moon away from the earth?

The moon's orbit is elliptical, and the distance varies quite a bit (it varies from 225,745 mi. to 251,967 mi.)\n\nNow they actually know the distance to the moon to within a few inches. Apollo 11 astronauts left an array of corner mirrors on the moon. A corner mirror is three mirrors arranged like a corner of a box, all at right angles to each other. Such a mirror reflects light directly back toward the source of the light. Scientists shine a laser at the moon, and measure the time it takes to reflect back. They can measure this time to within a tiny fraction of a second. So they deduce the distance to the moon (at any given time) to within a few inches.


how do i get a free laptop online with out buying anything???

There are popups that provide things like free laptops in exchange for giving your personal information away for resale to third party advertising and marketing companies.  I would not do this.  More free advice for you: never give out a credit card number when someone tells you that you have won something.  Usually they tell you it is for something like shipping charges.  If they are giving away a $800 laptop, they can afford shipping charges.\n\nIf you are a student, I would write as many companies as possible and provide some information about yourself.  Direct the letter/email to the "Director of Information Technology".  It would be best to specifically name the person (use research to find the name of the Director".  Identify your self with verifiable information.  Explain that you are a student and you were wondering if they have any old laptops they are willing to donate for educational purposes.  If you are under 18, do not give out any personal information; let your parents help you.  This is very important.


I am more than twice the height and four times the weight of my son. Nothing could be a greater sign of loss of self-control than my hitting him ("wow look at me, I smacked a 3 year old!")\n\nI would never threaten him with 'controlled violence' either (i.e. a spank on the bum). Threats (just like bribes) are another sign of bad parenting.\n\nIf anyone can provide a justification for hitting a child, could you also please provide me with a justfication for hitting my wife? (Of course I would rightly expect the full force of the law to come down on me if I did that.)\n\nI generally find that picking the child up, lifting his T-shirt and licking his stomach vigorously is a sufficient punishment. Alternatively, a good 'nosing' can be effective.

Where is the best, but affordable romantic getaway for a married couple's anniversary?

I recently took a trip to the Mayan Riviera (landed in Cancun, then took a bus to Playa del Carmen) during the off-season and spent $360 on my round trip ticket (after taxes) and took $300 in cash. You could double that for two people and go for around $1300. I had the best time EVER. You should know some Spanish to make things easier on yourself and be prepared to be carefree. Hotel was $35 a night (very swanky low-key place with a bar) and the beach was magnificent. The best part? Clothing was optional. ;)

It is a common error to include Buddhism in the category of 'faiths' or 'beliefs'.  \n\nThese terms refer to theistic religions - that is, religions based on gods,  whose existence is claimed on the basis of writings, 'revelations' by individuals ('such as 'prophets' etc.), even on the coincidental incidence of cataclysms etc. In other words, these religions are based on 'faith' or 'belief' - meaning simply on claim or assertion but without any irrefutable evidence.\n\nThe problem is that any or all of the claims of each of these such religions conflict with those of the others - even to the extent whether there is only one god or many, what he/they look like (whether, for example, with the head of a dog, like of Anubis the Egyptian god, or with the head of an elephant, like in Ganesh the Hindu god, or with the head of a man, as in the Christian, Muslim and Jewish god, etc. -  and they depend on their survival and spread on the brutal eradication of the other similar religions, all equally based on unsupported assertions. For instance, when Constantine the First became a Christian, he (but mostly his son) eradicated the existing Roman religion by intense persecution of the adherents of that religion. While western films have spread endless propaganda about the persecution of the early Christians (when they were a minority and powerless) by the Roman-religion-believing Roman Emperors, Hollywood's Christians have carefully avoided mentioning about the persecution BY the later (and then the dominant) Christians - how they intensively persecuted not only the Roman religion believers (throwing them in thousands to the lions in the same gladiatorial arenas etc.), but of EVERY other religion around the world ever since.\n\nThis pattern of one set of god believers attacking and eradicating other god-believers has been characteristic of the past two millennia since the birth of Christianity.\n\nBuddhism does not have such 'faiths' and 'beliefs', and the SUTTAS (the records of the discussions between the Buddha and his disciples) reveal how ENTIRELY rational, scientific and dispassionate they were - in contrast to the discussions between Jesus and his disciples (or the similarly unsupported statements by Mohammed), where he made totally unsupported assertions and his disciples were simply expected to accept them on his (unsupported) claim that he was a god's representative. (He did NOT claim that he was a 'son of a god, but EVERYONE was at that time supposed to be children of the god. Indeed, a modern re-reading of the Bible suggests that 'god 'was an alien, who inter-married with a 'daughter of man'!!).\n\nBuddhism's inherent pacifism made it an easy target for the god-believing religions' fanatic marauders, and the religion was eradicated from Iran, Iraq etc. right down to Indonesia (except for a few countries like Sinhalé (the correct name of 'Sri Lanka'), Myanmar (formerly called Burma), Thailand etc. The process of persectiion and forcible conversion - now using different weapons - is today being seen in intense use by Christians in the Buddhist countries, and Vietnam and Korea have already fallen victim to the modern Christian gladiators.\n\nWimal Ediriwira

I still love my boyfriend who I broke up with yesterday, what do I do?

Love - Hate is part and parcel of the game. U will have ur ups and downs in a relationship. In the end what matters is how the two of u let some silly misunderstanding come in between.\nU said u broke up with ur bf yesterday. Leme tell u that along with urself, he is equally responsible for this. He probably did something that got u mad and u wanted to hurt him so u broke off in the heat of the moment. But now that u'v cooled off, think over it again and  ask urself if it was really worth it.\nI mean there is something that u should know - No one is perfect....\nU have got to understand that things will not always be sugary between u and any other guy for that matter. What will count in the end is how the two of u let things unfurl. \nDont let anything screw ur relationship if u really love ur partner. \n\nCommunication is the key word here.\nSo quit waiting for any more answers here, gather urself and go talk to him. If he really loves u too, Im sure he'll be  equally devastated rite now and will welcome u back.\n\nBest of luck.

where you can get help in the community against aids?


Yes, we pray for the unity of the Catholic Church and "Greek Orthodox" (I will use Greek because they are primary one's to argue the differences between orthodox and catholic) churchs.  My Catholic priest informed me that our religions are about 97% the same.  Catholics differ from "Greek Orthodox" mainly in the authoritative structure having the Pope get that little extra amount of umfft.  Plus, Orthodox's appreciate and enjoy the mystisims of spirituality more that the Western Catholics.  In addition, Orthodox religions are geographically specific...we have the "Greek Orthodox", the "Russian Orthodox", "Africa Orthodox", and yes "American Orthodox".  My priest recommended that we goto an Orthodox Church ...and he commented that it was beautiful.\n\nWe Catholics still pray to unit these two churches.  At John Paul II's  (we luv u) funeral, there was great joy when the Greek Orthodox Bishops attended.  One of John Paul II's (we luv u) hopes was to join these churches.  He and his trusted friend and spiritual leader, Carl Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict xvi) worked hard with the Bishops of the Orthodox religions to unite.  Even today, Pope Benedict xvi is working to repair this.\n\nPeace.

And make sure u tell him that you like him and care for him and what he thinks. IF U HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR STATEMENTS EMAIL ME I WILL GET RIGHT BACK TO U. AND BY THE WAY I AM JUST A VERY GOOD ADVICE GIVER BUT I AM ONLY 14.

In a safety, who gets the two points: the offense or the defense?

A safety, in football, is caused when the offensive player with the ball is tackled inside his own endzone (100 yards from his objective).  Thus, the team playing defense gets 2 points for acheiving this rare, hard-to-do event.\n\nSo if you have the ball, and I tackle you in your endzone, I get 2 points.  Cool?

When was there a heaven or hell created for man?

actually Heaven always existed, that's where God lived, and he has always existed.  Hell was created when Lucifer (The Devil) was not content with his position (it went God - Jesus - Lucifer).  Lucifer wanted more, God said no, Lucifer got mad, God created Hell and said "You wan't to rule?  Rule that" or something to that effect ('that' being Hell, a pit of fire and damnation).


where do i find information on back owed child support?

I would personally steer clear of support kids unless it is a last ditch effort.  (They will take a very large percent of anything they collect and your local office will do it for free).  Is the support order going through a child support agency?  If not, you could apply for services whether you are the payer or receiver at your county support enforcement agency.  If you already have they will be able to give you the figure you are looking for.


When it rains and the rain hits mountains or other materials it cannot sink through small trickles appear in the direction of the downslope. The trickles come together eventually and pour looser materials with them (such as sand or loose earth for example). Eventually they can form a big enough stream to be a river. When a river runs with high speed it tends to have a straighter path, but if it becomes wide and slow it starts bend like a serpentine.

why Europeans are defending Israel crimes?

arabs blow up women and children and the Israelis retaliate.\n\nthese are hardly crimes, if Mexico murdered 1/10th the number of people in the USA that the arabs have in Israel it is highly likely that Mexico would cease to exist.\n\nremember Afghanistan, their leaders harbored a terrorist but didn't actively participate in bin Laden's murderous rampage and the USA blew most of them to smithereens.\n\nunfortunately for the arabs, their corrupt leaders will squander all the oil wealth and the arabs will be left in the stone age while the rest of the world has left them in the dust.  How to combat this?  Think logically, train your children not to hate, and adopt Christian values (i.e. do not murder, do not pray to false idols, etc.)

What is your opinion about Indians?What do u think about Indian languages?

Technically, that's two questions, so I'm getting cheated out of 2 points by answering both here, but..  ;-)\n\nI like Indians, just as I like any other people - EXCEPT when I call a technical support line for an American product and talk with someone in India.  Trying to explain a technical problem when there's a partial language barrier is frustrating to me, and I'm sure it's frustrating to the call center employee, too.  Outsourcing may be cheaper for American companies, but I'd rather pay a little more if it leads to fewer annoyances when support is required.  But I digress..sort of.  \n\nI have no opinons on Indian languages, because I don't hear or speak any of them.

What does the term "lingua-franca" mean?

The previous answer defined it wrong and then gave examples that were almost right.\n\nLingua franca is two words, it's true, and it does refer to the French language, but that's not what it means.\n\nA lingua franca is a language that people use to communicate between them, and neither of them is a native speaker of that language.  For example, nowadays people in many countries learn English as a foreign language, like in Japan and Germany, for example.  If a Japanese person went to Germany, he/she might be able to communicate with the locals in English, even though it's not a native language for either person.  In that case, English would be the lingua franca in the situation.\n\nThe reason it refers to French is that French was traditionally used in this way as the language of diplomacy.

Actually, you're all wrong.  It's 2003 UB313 the recently discovered 10th planet which has not yet been given a perminent name.  As of July, 2005, the planet 2003 UB313 was approximately 97 AU from the sun, over twice the distance between the sun and Pluto (40 AU).\n\nIf you're actually wondering about the 2nd farthes planet (which may be the case as most people don't know about 2003 UB313), most of the time (including the present) it's Pluto, but Pluto has a crazy eliptical orbit (one of the reasons its status as a planet is debatable), and sometimes crosses paths with Neptune.  When I learned the order of the planets in 2nd grade, Neptune was farther away than Pluto, so instead of "my very educated mother just served us nine pizzas," we learned "my very educated mother just served us pistachio nuts."


Do you notice an excessive use of the expression "sorry" by Canadians?

what cause ear infection in children? and what is the best cure?how we can prevent ear infection?

ear infections can be caused by many things. the swelling of the tonsils can cause them because it blocks the tubes going from the throat to the ears, cigarette smoke can also cause it, if you smoke around your children, it increases the chances of ear infections by quite a bit.  allergies can also cause them, seasonal and pet caused.  cold air and prolonged exposure to water in the ears can do it. basically anything that will block, swell, or irritate the ears can cause ear infections, the easiest way to prevent them is to not smoke near them, keep ears covered in the cold, make sure inside of ears are dried as much as possible after swimming or bath/shower time, watch for allergies, and try to keep sore throats, etc.. to a minimum. but you also have to realize that some children will get more ear infections then others no matter what you do.

what are the best, cheapest and home remedies to the following??

hiccups: drink water from a straw or through a paper towel over your glass.\n\nbackpain:  heat and stretch.  take some advil for pain and inflammation\n\ndry coughs: lots and lots of liquid and cough medicine.\n\ngetting up in the middle of the night:  don't sleep too much during the day.  don't drink liquids within 2 hours of bed.  go to the restroom right before getting into bed.\n\nbad mood:  sunlight.  sun always makes us happier.  it's true.  also, avoid junk food.  junk food causes a real downer period after eating when your blood sugar drops off.  maintain a healthy diet and you'll experience less mood swings.  \n\ntension/stress:  keep organized.  this will provide less stress.  you may not know it, but if you keep your house messy it actually causes you to be more stressed.  clutter=stress.  Make time for yourself to just relax.  That could be a warm bath, shopping, etc...  Also, exercise!  It relieves stress and leaves you better able to cope with stressors throughout the day.

Also delete all your temporary internet files and cookies, this can be done by using the disk clean up option under system tools.  Also empty your recycle bin before defrag.

do you think guys only judge girls on there looks?

I am a female, and no i don't think that, I find that with my past relationships my looks were just a bonus, if the girl has a great personality, then there really isnt a need for great looks or nice rack or a firm rear. so if you find that you like this girl with an amaxing personailty and colorful aura, then no it isnt based on looks, im pretty average and none of my relationships are based on looks and ive dated some of the best looking guys around.


Traversing is a form of a control survey that is used in a wide variety of surveys. Traverses are a series of established stations that are linked together by the angle and distance between adjacent points. The angles are measured by theodolites, and the distances are measured by an EDME. The AISI total station combines both of these functions. Detailed information pertaining to traverse design, data collection, and limitations are discussed in the SSGCN. Appendix B summarizes the standards for control surveys. Appendix C details the recommended procedures for traverse computations.

Degenerative Arthritis is basically joints that are deteriorating.  Joints deteriorate for several reasons.  Previous injury(fractures, ligament tears, repetitive microtrauma), can also be from diet(eating an inflammatory diet of meats, fried foods and carbohydrates) vs. eating plenty of green vegetables and drinking plenty of water to start.  There is a ton of stuff that contribute toward degerative arthritis, the main thing is lifestyle choices that we choose through out our lives.  Lifestyle choices such as exercise, diet, sleep, mental attitude, keeping all joints healthy and mobile.  If you are interested in keeping your joints from getting worse, I would recommend going to a chiropractor.  They are the only ones who will address joint problems.  They will not give you medications which cover up the symptoms of the joint problems, but actually coach you in a way to better joint function and improve your health.  If you want a quick fix, then there is always pain killers or anti-inflammatory medications but that will only help temporarily until your joints completely deteriorate then its time for surgical replacement.  After surgical replacement you chances are very slim that you will ride again, except around the barrels or around the farm.  Hope this information helped you along.  Want more information you can go to our web site www.yourdynamicwellness.net and that will give you plenty.  Key thing, dont just take a drug or surgery unless you completely know the side effects and outcome.\nSincerely,\nDr. Jon Bright


should the U.S.A basketball olympic  team allow college players to play?

HELL NO. OK LET ME EXPLAINE THIS. The 2 best players for collage last year in my opinion were Andrew Bogut and H. Warrick (i spelled that wrong probably) They both got drafted and they are ranked below the top 100. If ne1 remembers in collage warrick did these unhuman dunks over the defense, and bogut was just amazing. When u enter the NBA your opponents are unbelievably tall and skilled. Ussing some of the NBA's best players the US team had a hard time getting third place. If the best collage players in the US are ranked below the top 100 then there are 100 other players that deserve it more (to play at the olympics) You have to realize that collage bball players expect that the other team has 1 to 5 good players, they never expect that the whole team is that good. Also most of the NBA teams have players ranked below them and they still have a hard time going against them. If you put them against an olympic team thats like going against  A team that has 15 players as good as shawn marion or Iverson or Billups or whoever you favorite player is. They never expect what is coming and are taken by suprise.

luckily, I just finished studying that topic. rome fell around 586AD, and the government was emperors, it died because the roman empire was too spread out, and the enemy could come right in and attack. the last emperor was the first christian emperor, constantine who established the city constantinople, present day istambul. Rome was taken over by the germanic tribes, also known as the huns.


Does the Value of 1 second change with the time?

The definition of the second is: The second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom. \n\nThe key here is that the second is defined.  Definitions do not change since they are arbitrary.  Anybody can create a definition...but who follows it?\n\nMore info: The unit of time, the second, was defined originally as the fraction 1/86 400 of the mean solar day. The exact definition of "mean solar day" was left to astronomical theories. However, measurement showed that irregularities in the rotation of the Earth could not be taken into account by the theory and have the effect that this definition does not allow the required accuracy to be achieved. In order to define the unit of time more precisely, the 11th CGPM (1960) adopted a definition given by the International Astronomical Union which was based on the tropical year. Experimental work had, however, already shown that an atomic standard of time-interval, based on a transition between two energy levels of an atom or a molecule, could be realized and reproduced much more precisely. Considering that a very precise definition of the unit of time is indispensable for the International System, the 13th CGPM (1967) decided to replace the definition of the second by the following (affirmed by the CIPM in 1997 that this definition refers to a cesium atom in its ground state at a temperature of 0 K)


well its good that u are putting ur emotions into poetry. its good karthasis.\nthe point of the poem seems to go a little askew in terms of imagery. in one sense u seem to be talking about nobody, then u jump to falling down. the transition isnt subtle enough.\ni also think u need to work on the rhthym of your poem. it's hard to get the right mood when reading it, if u've left this major component in poetry writing out. \nhope u dont get offended, i am simply trying to offer constructive criticism. i'd would have also like to have known, the title of your poem :)


Every major surgery has some risks. I don't know what the end result will be. But this I do know. Your doctor should know what he's doing and he can tell you the same thing I just told you. You husband will endure a good dose of physical therapy to get him on his feet.  Good Luck.


What are the differences between the terms Eugenics, Euthenics & Euphenics and are these terms inter-related?

i found an entry in pubmed for an article published in the journal GeneWatch in 1999 titled:  Eugenics, euthenics, euphenics: the underlying issue is that someone decides, based on values, which characteristics should be part of society and which are not.\n\nso that seems like a reasonable statement of how the terms are related.  here is the citation if you want to read the article:   Genewatch. 1999 Jun;12(3):8-10.\n\neugenics is when someone decides what traits are positive, and should be passed on to the next generation - and breeding policies are made in accordance with that.  (of course, this can be a personal policy - you marry a smart girl because you want your kids to be smart - or a coerced social policy, as in the forced sterilization of jews and other unwanteds under nazi germany).\n\neuphenics and euthenics on the other hand are not about improving future generations, but about improving the current one.  euphenics is a method for improving a person's biological characteristics without touching their genetic characteristics. \n\nthe difference between eugenics and euphenics is like the difference between genotype and phenotype.  euphenics addresses the expression of genetic content whereas eugenics addresses the genetic content itself.\n\neuthenics is kind of a dorky word that's about improving people by altering their environment and allowing them to adapt, rather than altering their biology directly.\n\nhere is the article in nature from 1963 where the term euphenics is coined:\nhttp://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/BB/A/B/I/E/_/bbabie.pdf\n\ncheers!


How can I do better if I were still in middle school if I study hard and how I do? Answer as a teacher Please.

Keeping a regular time everyday for studying is a good idea. In that time keep a specific time period for a subject you need to improve in. Practice questions of that subject everyday and read up lesson everyday. Keep a timetable so that in week aside from homework you can study the subjects. For exmaple, keep a day for studying biology, another day for geography etc. It will help you. \nAlso I would recommend a meditation, it helps improve concentration. Sit straight and comfortably, focus your breathing, breathe deep hear the sound of your breath. Do this for 5 to 10 mins. It'll help. Good luck!

what percentage of U.S. citizens have Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva?

It is estimated that FOP affects about 2,500 people worldwide, or approximately one in two million people. Such statistics may be better grasped by the following example: if a large football stadium holds 100,000 fans, one would need to fill nearly 20 football stadiums to find one person who has FOP. At the present time, researchers are aware of fewer than 400 people throughout the world who have FOP.

is there anything else about car engines and how they work?

A company called Motor Manuals publishes some of the best technical books on auto repair and publishes an excellent book explaining engine technology. These are the books you will often see lining a long bookshelf in auto repair shops. Most mechanics own a fairly large library of these books, although they are now often found on CD instead. \n\nMotor doesn't sell directly to the public and their website has little information on it, but if you use their website to find a local distributor these independent businesses will be eager to help you with books or CD's. These books are so good they are often used as textbooks in trade schools. \n\nHere's the website:\nhttp://www.motor.com/\n\nThe chief competitor to Motor is Chilton. I am sure Chilton has comparable products:\nhttp://www.chiltonsonline.com/\n\nYou can often find both Motor and Chilton books in public libraries.

why the orbit of pluto is different? why the rotation of uranus is not counter clockwise?

These are good questions. I do not think anyone knows exactly, but I have heard the conjecture often that Pluto is an escaped moon or a captured planet from somewhere else, and was not present at the formation of the Solar System. Also it is possible that Pluto's strange orbit is the result of some collision. \n\nThe rotational angular momentum of Uranus is quite different from the other planets. It's rotational axis is tilted significantly from the orthogonal to the ecliptic (plane of orbits of most planets), and it is said to rotate in the "opposite" sense to earth and the sun and some of the other planets. However, since the tilt of Uranus' rotational axis is roughly 97.92 degrees, I do not know how strongly I would want to assert that it rotates in the opposite or retrograde sense to most of the other bodies in the solar system. Again, this could be caused by a collision. In one of the attached references, it is claimed that this could be caused by a tidal effect, but it is hard for me to understand how. \n\nIt turns out that both Pluto and Venus also rotate in a retrograde sense, so it is not that uncommon, although theories of the origin of the solar system imply that one would not expect a lot of deviations of angular momentum from the major direction of angular momentum in the system. In the case of our system, especially given the orbits of the planets with small inclinations to the ecliptic, and the very large angular momenta of the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn, this is basically correct. \n\nNeptune is probably called the blue planet because it is blue, although of course Uranus and Earth are blue as well (for different reasons). Neptune's blue is at least partly caused by the presence of methane in its atmosphere.

Is there really such a thing as freedom of speech or does everyone just have an opinion?

"Freedom of speech" from a legal point of view means that no law should be passed preventing any person from speaking out. Thus the prohibition against censorship. However, the law also recognizes that the right to free speech should be exercised responsibly. That is why if the words uttered are untrue and hurts the reputation of another, then the speaker may be sued for libel or slander. Or if the words spoken exhorts listeners to rise up in arms against duly constituted government, the speaker may be punished for sedition.

What do the Olympic rings stand for ..... ?

There are five interlocking rings coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red.\n\nThese five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition.\n\nThe rings are with a WHITE background on the Olympic flag, the six colours thus combined reproduce those of all the nations without exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the French, British, American, German, Belgian, Italian, and Hungarian tricolours, the yellow and red of Spain lie next to the new Brazilian and Australian flags, and the old Japan and the young China. This is really an international emblem\n\nThough the Baron de Coubertin obviously considered the rings and colours as two independent characteristics, and even though the IOC explicitly states no ring represents a specific continent, still some people list matches. These are some such lists. (Since users of each list claim that list to be the explanation in general use, they are ordered here alphabetically according to the arbitrary, somewhat explanatory titles.)\n\nA map, of sorts\n\n    * Blue - Americas\n    * Yellow - Africa\n    * Black - Europe\n    * Green - Oceania\n    * Red - Asia\n\n\n\nColours representing peoples, Blue ocean\n\n    * Blue - Oceania\n    * Yellow - Asia\n    * Black - Africa\n    * Green - Europe\n    * Red - Americas\n\n\nColours representing peoples, Greek flag\n\n    * Blue - Europe\n    * Yellow - Asia\n    * Black - Africa\n    * Green - Oceania\n    * Red - Americas\n\nThis is the colours continents meanings who choose an IOC organism: The Association of National Olympic Committees who englobes to all 204 National Olympic Committee like the colours symbology for its emblems

what is the complete definition of the word courage?

u'll find it here\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/courage&r=67\n\n\nCourage is the ability to confront fear in the face of pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation. As a virtue, courage is covered extensively in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, its vice of deficiency being cowardice, and its vice of excess being recklessness.\n\nThe precise view of what constitutes courage not only varies among cultures, but among individuals. For instance, some define courage as lacking fear in a situation that would normally generate it. Others, in contrast, hold that courage requires one to have fear and then overcome it.\n\nThere are also more subtle distinctions in the definition of courage. For example, some distinguish between courage and foolhardiness in that a courageous person overcomes a justifiable fear for an even more noble purpose. If the fear is not justifiable or the purpose not noble, then the courage is either false, or foolhardy.


Why do Christians always try to convert Pagans when we're happy with our religion?

Merry Meet!\nBecause they don't understand what you/we believe in. Unfortunately, there are so many religions, but if you research them, you will find that most religions follow a lot of the Pagan/Wiccan beliefs. Take a look at Christmas, for example. The first Christmas tree was used by Pagans as a Yule Tree in Germany. Prince Albert of Germany, Queen Victorias husband, made it popular when he set one up in Windsor Castle for his family.\nBlessed Be!

what is the origin of the term "neck of the woods"?

"Neck" had been used in English since around 1555 to describe a narrow strip of land, usually surrounded by water, based on its resemblance to the neck of an animal. But the Americans were the first to apply "neck" to a narrow stand of woods or, more importantly, to a settlement located in a particular part of the woods. In a country then largely covered by forests, your "neck of the woods" was your home, the first American neighborhood.

Why do children bother their parents as soon as they get on the phone?

Because they know their parent will have to "act nice" while they are on the phone, so they can get away with behavior that they could not get away with if their parent were not on the phone.  Children learn very quickly what the limits are, and when they change.  They are aware that the limits are different when a parent is on a phone, because the parent will react differently when someone is listening in.  It's the same reason children act up when someone is visiting, or when you have the child at the store checkout line.  The parent might say "Wait till I get you home", but the child may have already learned that if they behave all the way home all will be forgiven.  I suppose you could also say that it is because the child wants the attention of the parent and it has been taken away by the phone, but I think my answer is closer to the truth.

After you die, do your nails and hair continue to grow?

The growth of hair and nails depends on the division of cells including DNA.  After death, cell division may continue for a relatively short time but would cease without a circulation system to supply nourishment and oxygen and to remove products of matabolism and carbon dioxide.  The short answer is that nil growth continues but takes time to stop completely.  Wierd movies may push another version unsupported by science.

What is the difference between these terms - Taxonomy, Systematics & Classification?

These are closely related terms that refer to different things. \nTaxonomy is a biological discipline that studies the theory and practice of classification. It's more about the rules and techniques used to classify living things.\nClassification is any grouping of things according to arbitrary categories or attributes. Biological classifications, however, aim at establishing natural groups (i.e., groups that reflect the genealogy or descent of the organisms).\nSystematics is sometimes used with the same meaning as taxonomy, but it is a broader concept that comprises the scientific study of the types and diversity of organisms and their interelationships; other definitions are "the science of biological classification" or "the science of organismal diversity".


In Math, why are the unsigned Integers considered positive. I?

Actually, in computer terms, 0 and 1 are representations of the electrical signal on a given transitor.  0 usually represents low voltage.  In a CPU (simple terms) 0 means a bit is off, and 1 means the bit is on.  There is no implied positive or negative at all.\n\nIn high level language programming terms, a unsigned Byte value would be represented by 0-255.  A signed Byte would be represented by -128 to 127.  This is because a normal byte can only hold 8 bits. (00000000) - The eighth bit is used as a sign bit.  In other words 01111111 is the positive Decimal value of 127.  But the value 11111111 is the negative Decimal value -128.  The computer uses the Most Significant bit (the first 1 in our example) as the negative flag.\n\nIn C, C++, C#, Basic, etc. A int (Integer) is almost always signed, meaning it can hold positive and negative values, unless it is indicated to the compiler that we want to use a unsigned value.  In C you'd say unsigned int.  Basically, using a unsigned Byte (for example) gets you more values above 0 for your loops and arithmetic. (If you don't need negative values.)\n\nFrom your question, you seem to be thinking more along the lines of Boolean logic.  For a Truth, or False value, there is no set standard in computer terms as to what represents true and false.  It is more common, now, for a boolean expression (say 3 = 3) to be equal to 1, or a positive value.  But this is entirely dependent on the compiler being used.  You can not assume that a False boolean will be 0 or a negative value, it's all dependant on the language and compiler that your using.\n\nUnsigned Integers are considered positive precisely because, in human decimal terms, they represent positive numbers 0-???? (the max depends again on the computer system and the language being utilized, as well as the processor type.)  In old 8-bit computers, a unsigned integer was normally 0-255, or 0-65535.  In most modern 32-bit computers, a Unsigned Integer is considered to be 0-4,294,967,295 (basically a 32 bit binary number, 2^32)\n\nHope this helps....


What's the point of the Treasuries Bond (4.25%) if CD pays more (4.97%)??

In theory CD's are more risky, because if there is a major economic crash of biblical proportion, the banks would go bankrupt, but the government could just print more money and give what would be   worthless dollars. As a disastor of super biblical proportion is unlikely and even if it did happen, T-bills would also be worth nothing due to the worthless dollars. So screw the theory, the reason T-bills are sometimes more interesting  even that you can sell them and get your money back the same day, which you can not do with CD's. plus if interest rates go down, you could make a nice profit (nice for low risk investments, boring for stocks). The best case scenerio I could think of for treasuries, were at the peak of the bubble, if you bought long term bonds, the 30 year one when the fed funds rate was at 6%, and held on till rate droped to 1%, you would have more than doubled your investment, but that does not happen often in the bond world.

what's a stilling pond, in regards to use with a highbanker?

A stilling pond is used to keep dirty and cloudy water from polluting trout streams with silt. Your dirty water enters from above and the silt and debris settle out and sinks to the bottom. In another part of the pond, where the water is less turbulent, the overflow is allowed to re-enter the stream or the water simply filters through the earth and gravel back into the stream. Dirty water entering a trout stream will smother trout eggs.

But write them anyway to see what experience they prefer.
