Could you get rid of everything you own...?

It's funny, there are times in my life I've wanted to, just to start all over again. I came close when we moved to our new house. Packing stuff up, I debated whether or not to just chuck everything and start fresh. It can rejuvenating I think. On Chinese New Year it’s the reason you clean house and are only supposed to wear brand-new clothes. You also make dumplings as a way to symbolically seal all the “old stuff” away - all the negative things that might have accumulated over the old year.

who is the first person that born on earth?

considering that you are asking this on a science forum, I would say that we have absolutely no way of knowing and would never have a consensus even if we could travel back in time.  Humans came about slowly and for someone to point to one individual and say "this is the first true human being" is impossible.

Im tired of the holier than thou christian attitude, why cant they just mind their own business?

That is a great question!!  I use to hand out bible tracts and witness to people a few years ago.  One thing I noticed was they would often **push** Christianity on people, rather than **offer** it to people.  I had the philosophy of offering it to people, either accept or reject and was always polite. I had a bible tract tossed in my face by a very angry young serviceman that just returned from Iraq, but I understood and wasn't upset, He thought I was an Anti-War protestor.  I witnessed to gays, drunks, homeless, thugs, punks, and many others.  I never condemned anyone to Hell.  The two big mistakes!\nFirst Mistake Christian Witnesses make is being Rude, Scary and or out of place.  Second Mistake is pushing Christianity on People instead of offering it.\nHere are my bad experiances!!\n- A Christian woman about 20 years old comes-up to me and starts witnessing to me and grabbing my arm and has a crazed look in her eyes, demanding I pray with her. I DIDN'T KNOW HER!!!\n- "You're gonna burn in HELL!" - All I did was walk past him!!\nBeing corner by four Christian men all coming at me about the Love of Christ and intimidating me at the same time! I thought I was going to get beat-up!\nI learned what NOT to do from them!


I need to find an agency to apply for a grant for me at a reasonable price?

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


By all means, at least make sure you send the tax return in, even if you don't put a check with it.  You don't want to be penalized for non-filing.  As soon as the state processes your return, they will send you a bill for the amount due.  Just remember, the longer you go without paying, the more interest and penalties add up!


What do women think about men with beards and why.... just curious?

Depends on the man, but I have never seen a man that does not look good with a mustache and a beard, especially when they're trimmed right. Almost all the men in my family have beards (trimmed) and they all look great in them. I personally like men with that look, but it is not a total 'must' look for me. If that's your picture next to the question, I think you look great in a mustache and a beard...like one of the gals said earlier...they usually tickle *giggle* and no fun-loving woman says no to a good tickle *wink*.

"Concerned with the trendy, technocratic, and at times sophistical character of contemporary education at all levels, both public and private, the authors of this collection seek to reinvigorate a Thomistic approach to education appropriate to the problems of our day. With its main inspiration taken from the work of Jacques Maritain, especially his 1943 Education at the Crossroads, the volume presents a trenchant critique of the "privacies" of contemporary education, with its emphasis upon the conventional and useful. At the same time, the essays present the outlines of the proper alternative, an education which helps students draw out from themselves the desire for truths which transcend the contingencies of culture and utility. Such an education seeks to guide students to "the common things" available to all human beings. \n\n\nThe essays uphold an account of man's intellectual and affective capacities which understands these capacities as naturally ordered to truth. The essays approach the task in different but complementary ways: in critiques of contemporary theories of education, in speculative accounts of knowledge and learning, in applications of theory to specific institutional settings, and in discussions of the political contexts governing modern education. In this rich variety of ways, the essays in The Common Things not only point the way back to the crossroads Maritain spoke of fifty years ago; they go on to indicate something of the landscape along the road not taken by contemporary education."

how do i get a copy of my naturalization papers from the military?

start by contacting the Veterans Administration.  There should be a local office near you, depending on the size of town you live in.  You will need some information before you go to them.  For example, your dad's legal name, date of birth, and social security number.  Also, you should have been registered with the US Embassy, London.  You could also look there.

Why does it seem the bigger churches around my area seem weaker in spirit?

its a two part answer imo. First there are your perceptions as to what a church needs to have in order to be strong in spirit. Usually its a mix of a lot of different things but on some level you probably feel like they arent getting the job done in one way or another. And thats fine but you have to remember that there are other consideratiosn to look at as well. \n\nBigger churches tend to have more members...this seems kind of silly to state but its a real concern that most people tend to forget. With more people come a broader range of ideas, which means that different people may see strength in spirit as a different thing than you do. Also larger churches are expected to be a little broader in their scope, to fit the needs of a somewhat larger congregation. This means they are going to do some different things than maybe a smaller church would which can identify with the needs of a smaller group of people.\n\nmy advice would be to find a church that you feel is strong in spirit no matter what the size is. Its most likely going to be the case that no church will ever quite fit the mold of being in the right all the time, so find the one that your most comfortable in and do your best to contribute to that church in whatever way seems best.

Do u beleive that someone can put a curse on u and how do u remove it?

Curses are real, however, they render no effect if your a child of God.


You'll need to wear your glasses (leave your contacts out) for two weeks prior to surgery (that's the FDA recommended waiting time for soft contact wearers -- it's longer for people with hard contacts of toric or RPG lenses).  This is necessary because your contact lenses change the shape of your eye; you want your eyes to get back to normal before they start up that laser, otherwise they'd be doing surgery on a surface that's still changing!\n\nAs for getting the eyes done together or at different times...\n\nThese days, most people who have Lasik get both eyes done at once.  If you have them done separately, you'll find that it isn't at all like when you take one lens out right now.  As soon as the surgery is over, you'll start seeing an improvement, so the vision in your "corrected" eye and the vision in the other eye (with the contact lens) are going to be a lot closer than you think. \n\nI got mine done 1 month apart because I was having PRK (which has a longer healing time) and they wanted to make sure that Eye #1 was responding well before doing Eye #2.  For two weeks before the second surgery, I had to wear my glasses, so I just popped one lens out of the frame.  It looked a little goofy but it was well worth it knowing I'd never have to wear those glasses or lenses again! \n\nOther than that, there's not much prep involved until you get to the doctor's office and they give you some drops and maybe some medication.\n\nAfterwards, there can be side effects, some more likely than others.  Glare and halos are most common.  It's also possible that your vision may not become "perfect" afterwards, and you have to accept that possibility.  Mine isn't perfect, probably because my eyes were so horrible to begin with (-9) -- but I still consider this surgery the best thing I could ever have done for myself and my health!  Do I get halos?  Yes, at night, and I still say it's worth it!  Pick a doctor who has a great reputation.  Don't be afraid to google him or her to look into his credentials.


I wouldn't do it! You are still so young. Read some of the past posts on here about girls who got married too young, and are miserable because they didn't get a chance to live their lives more. You need to go out, date, break a few hearts, and have yours broken (it happens) so you can learn from it and find the perfect man for you. Don't tie yourself down so young that in a year, when all your unmarried friends are out partying and having a good time at 18, you're at home with hubby, miserable...Or ever better yet, home alone because hubby is out with friends.....Live some more before you make that decision to marry, otherwise you won't be happy at all...If he loves you, he will wait!!

what is the importance of fallowing ordes?

The first and most important reason for following orders and the main reason why any individual get into hot water for not, is that you swear an oath to do so. \n\n"I, (state your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." \n\nYou see the part that I underlined (ok this software will not underline)so this part (I will obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me.) \nBefore you ever go to any training you have swear or affirm to this oath if not you don’t get to play in the big leagues.\n You may wish to check \nTitle 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 with amendment effective 5 October 1962.\n\nAlso this site explains the oath in great detail but you have to scroll down a bit to find the wording also the oath is different for enlisted, officers and National Guard members\n\nAll the best;\n\nhttp://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj02/win02/keskel.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_enlistment


Does anybody know what to do with obsolete computer equipment?

it's very important that the hard drive be thoroughly "cleaned" first.  I don't mean to blow out the dust -- I mean to erase all the data, and possibly reinstall Windows if you think the computer may be useful to someone.\n\nSchools may accept them, or possibly Goodwill.  There are companies that will accept computers and related hardware and give it to charities for you.  If you let us know the general area where you live (Toledo, Phoenix, Glasgow?) someone may have more specific ideas.


WHO SAW THE CAVS vs. WIZARDS GAME TODAY 4/28???? Wut did u think about it?

Well put Sonic.  Both teams will play well the rest of the way, and I think that the Cavs will pull it out.  LeBron is the future of the NBA, and Kobe's not really old, either, he's not going anywhere for ten years.  But no one will get passed the Pistons, so forget about it.


How can I tell if I suffer from manic depression?

I suffer from manic depression/bipolar. It took a while to be properly diagnosed but basically it was chronic depression, irritability, mood swings, rocky relationships, irresponsible actions/activities and paranoia. You won't qualify for bipolar until you've had a manic episode though and you'll know when that happens because everything will be unusually fantastic and your thinking will be unfocused with racing thoughts. These are just a few of the symptoms that I experienced but apart from the depression and manic episodes, everyone's symptoms can vary. Don't try and self diagnose though. Have an open communication with your doctor about it because it's very tricky to diagnose properly.\nHope that helps a little bit.

How can i ease the pain of Patellar Tendonitis?

You could try using an NSAID, (Non-Steriodal Anti Inflammatory Drug), such as aspirin, or iBuprofen, the latter may possibly offer relief either as either oral or topical preperation. Also, try alternating gentle warmin and cooling packs to it. Reducing exercise is a helpful suggestion, however, you shouldn't immobilise completely, gentle exercise, i.e. gently bending and straightening, should be made at regular invervals. Unfortunately pain relief tablets are probably the best option to ease it though.  \nI've always found that soft tissue injuries are the most painful injuries, I hope you resolve your pain. \n\nI do recommend discussing it with your pharmacist before you take any medication, of any kind, as people can be allergic to NSAIDs, and they can inteact seriously with other existing medication you may be on. \nIf it doesn't settle soon, I would suggest visiting a minor injuries unit or your family doctor.

r u babyish if u stil lik watchin cartoons wen u r 12?

No, I don't think so. Some of my favorite shows right now are animated: \n•The Simpsons\n•Family Guy\n•Futurama\n•King of the Hill\n•Home Movies\n•The Venture Brothers\n•Samurai Jack\nBut I also go to college and have a job. There is nothing "babyish" about animation itself. Animation is just a way that has been traditionally chosen to deliver entertainment to younger viewers, because they seem to prefer brighter, solid, and simple colors. And now that animation has found an adult market since the inception of The Simpsons, the stigma that cartoons are just for children still remains.  \nThe same thing goes for candy. Even though children like chocolate, in the US today the majority of chocolate is bought and consumed by adults.

Question 4 people who have been in some type of accident where you had to be shocked back to life or anyone...

First you feel yourself falling like when you have anaesthetic, and you feel weird. Then I saw myself in a narrow tunnel,there was a bright white light at one end and the operating room at the other end. I could hear everything that was being said. Before I was brought back I technically died and could tell everyone after what they said and did and the comments they made...I could see them as if I was looking down the tunnel at them and then when I was coming back I was floating above them looking down as if in spirit...when they were losing me again I was once again in the tunnel going towards the light. I fought to keep away from being dragged towards the light,,it was a struggle, I knew the light meant death and I didn't want to die but I felt lazy and tired and wanted to give up but I had to fight to live because I thought about the grief of my family. It's a feeling of being pulled towards the light as if by a magnet and as if I had a magnet on me and I had to brace myself against the walls of the tunnel and pull back. It was really scary but didn't hurt. If I didn't have anyone or anything to live for It would have been easy to go towards the light because when I didn't fight it I was floating and seeing visions of my life flashing before me. I don't remember seeing any bad things just comforting things and happy times-it was peaceful.


How does the force exerted by a proton on a proton compare with the force exerted on a proton on an (more)?

The electric field will be repellent between protons, attractive between a proton and an electron.\n\nThere is, of course, the nuclear force--which is exerted only at extremely close range, and is an attractive force.\n\nThere is also the gravitational force between them, also attractive, but it's pretty trivial with such microscopic masses, unless you get unthinkably close.\n\nGravity, of course, would be there between the proton and the electron, but it's a whale of a lot more feeble between that pair than between a pair of protons...

And it so happens that a lot of wiccans dress in the gothic style. But that doesn`t mean everyone that dresses Goth is wiccan. It`s usally a choice of dress and they can practice ANY Religion.


does anyone understand nonvascular plants?

Non-vascular plants do not have vascular systems to carry water, nutrients, ant the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant. Non-vascular plants include mosses, ferns, hornworts, and liverworts. The mosses, hornworts, and liverworts all transport water by osmosis so they cannot grow very large. This is why they must live so close to water. Ferns have a primitive forrunner of a vascular system, but it is not really a real vascular system because they do not have true roots, and also lack xylem, which is a type of cell that carries water and nutrients up the plant, and phloem, which are cells that can carry water, nutrients, and the products of photosythesis throughout the plant. If you have any more questions, I'll check back here for updates if this was helpfull at all.

Does anyone know about bi polar or borderline personality?

Yes I do, my mother was diagnosed with both. What do you want to know about them, need more info.\n\nEmotional highs and lows are part of life for everyone. But for someone with bipolar disorder, these ups and downs can be so extreme they can interfere with daily life. Sometimes they can even be dangerous.\n\nBorderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that causes unstable emotions, impulsiveness, relationship problems, and an unstable self-image. People with the disorder often behave self-destructively, have problems managing anger, and have an intense fear of being rejected and left alone (abandoned). They often also struggle with other conditions such as depression, eating disorders, or substance abuse problems.

How do I engage and motivate people with mental health problems?

I've done some work with such people on a day to day basis  and, for what its worth, I found forgetting the problem and focusing on the person worked best! Find something that interests them, use that as a reward for less satisfying pursuits and don't think of them as a 'case' but as a fellow human being and treat them as such. (Token economies are useful too - earning tokens or counters for good behaviour which can later be exchanged for various 'treats', traded in for an outing etc).\n\nIt may take some time, but once they trust you they're likely to gradually open up and take an interest in what you think etc; then it becomes easier - 'pleasing' you can become a reward in itself and you can often get them to do things no one else has managed. (But be careful of sexual overtones etc., that can get problematic)

any news about other countries while it was great depression?

The Great Depression of the late 20's and 30's was felt in all western industrialised nations. Nations that were mainly agrarian (based on agriculture) were little affected by it. Here, in Australia, (I'm guessing that you are in the USA) we had most of the workforce unemployed, businesses bankrupt, starvation and poverty rampant - as did all industrialised countries. Now that governments realise that it isn't all that important to balance the budget, they can start to spend, reduce tax or reduce interest rates (use methods to stimulate spending) if they see the economy heading down. These tools stimulate spending and give the economy a boost.heading that way.

how much of an impact did the second roman legion augusta have on the areas it built forts in?

One of the great things about the Romans vast movement across Europe and Africa was they knew the only way to conquer a people was to allow for the exchange of needs. They would allow the indigenous peoples to continue practicing their religions while teaching them improvements in education,farming,building. They built trade routes to new areas and some believe that the Romans quest into the British isles, brought about their movement into the Iron Age faster, thus propelling them ahead of many other lands at that time. Most legionaries where absorbed into the local society and many stayed to help " govern" after. you can find the Roman influence in many places throughout the world,right along side the Greeks,Gauls,Egyptians and Norseman.What they used as why to conquer and provide more tax payers, we use today in our own goverment. And we know what happend to Roman.......History always repeats its self.


What the heck is JAVA 2 RUNTIME doing in my programs : )?

Java software allows you to run applications called "applets" that are written in the Java programming language. These applets allow you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. Corporations also use applets for intranet applications and e-business solutions.


does it bother you when your boyfriend looks at other females?

If you're in a trusting relationship, it all depends on expectations.  Obviously, he should respect you enough not to cheat, but if you let him know that you are uncomfortable with his actions, he should care enough about you to at least tone it down.  It's natural to admire people of the opposite (or same, if you swing that way) gender, but it's not okay to be overly gawking if you are in a commited relationship.  I always try to join in on the action by agreeing with him.  Is it enough to know at the end of the day that he's going home with you?


Can anyone explain the "offisdes" call in soccer?

Offsides happens when an offensive player is between the goalie and the last defensive player and in front of the ball WHEN THE BALL IS PLAYED by his teammate.  He does not have to play the ball, but has to be part of the play.  It can be rather complicated but I hope that helps you understand.\n\nThat is not the exact rule, but it can be found here:\nhttp://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tips_Dictionary_Terms_O.shtml#offside_rule\n\nand here:\nhttp://www.fifa.com/en/regulations/regulation/0,1584,3,00.html\n\nOh and the first answer is not even close to being right.

how can i do a backflip please help!!!!!!!?

The best way is to sign up for a tumbling class.  When you work with someone who has experience and training to teach backflips, it's a much better experience than trying to teach yourself and you'll end up with a nicer backflip.  \n\nComing in a distant second is to get a buddy to help you learn a backflip.  It's more dangerous this way but a lot of things in life are.  \n\nThis website has some tips on learning gymnastics skills.


Can/How Can I buy Copper and/or Tin Bullion?

Best thing would be to go to a pawn/antique shop, buy a bunch of stuff made with those metals, melt them down, and make a bar.\n\nIndividual investors cannot just buy a bar of metal.. however since those metals are more common, go to Home Depot and look for them, ie. Copper Wire. \n\nIf you want to invest in them to make money because you think their price will go up, buy an ETF or a large producer/distributor of those metals, stock.


I received a ticket to work program from the social security administration. What is it used for?

Yes, you can continue to get SSI and SSDI if you work. If you earn less than $860 a month your benefits will continue, but they will reduce the amount they pay you based on how much you earn. I believe that the formula is the amount you earn in a month minus $85, then divide that by 2 and that is the amount they will subtract from you check. When you are going through the rehabilitation training they do not pay you or reduce your benefits until you actually are hired by a company. Also, they will not give you a job, they will help you find one.


Will Vancouver ever get a NBA team again?

Well, Vancouver is a  huge city so it has a chance of getting a new frachise to come there. I don't blame their fans for not coming to their games because they sucked at that time too. Seattle Sonics might have to move to another city and Vancouver sounds like a solid option. Other cities have lost a frachise and gotten it back in the past: Charlotte and New Orleans in the NBA. Cleveland in the NFL.


What just happened in the draft with the Jets?

The Jets made the smart moves, just not the ones most Jets fans see as sexy or exciting. What they did with the fourth overall pick was pick up an All-Pro level talent that they can plug in at Tackle for the next 15 years, and know that WHOEVER is back there taking snaps, they'll be protected on one side.\n\nIf the Jets can eke out a decent season with Pennington, there are plenty of free-agent quarterbacks available after this season to pounce on. That's why they cut nearly everyone, from Fabini to Mawae, and restructured Pennington's contract--they'll be way under the cap next year at this time (they are even slightly under now).\n\nOf course, if they have another miserable season, they can always get Brady Quinn in next year's draft. Personally, that's the route I'm hoping for.\n\nWith two OL starters, a linebacker who'll be in the mix as a starter in the new 3-4 alignment, a solid backup QB (who some draft gurus project will be a better pro than Leinart anyway), a hard-hitting safety with better-than average hands, and more picks to come, the Jets are having an excellent draft so far.

My 18 yr old doesnt want to go to college and wants to live @ home & work.  Does he need to help with bills?

Heck yeah he does!!  Give him like 6 months to get on his feet then start charging him.  You aren't going to help him any by teaching him that adult life is free.  After I came home from college I lived there for about a year and a half.  My mom gave me a few months to get a job and put some money away then $300 a month after that.  There was no reason I shouldn't be helping out as a working adult.

How can one set of non bi-focal glasses correct both near and far sightedness?

You have two main options - Varifocals (which strictly speaking aren't BIfocals) adjust the prescription gradually the entire way up the lens. This results in the bottom of the lens correcting for close work, and the top of the lens correcting for distance vision.\n\nThe second option is through a technique called monovision. Remember one "set" of glasses contains two entirely seperate lenses - one for each eye. In monovision, each lens only corrects for one distance and your brain does the rest of the work in deciding which image to use.\n\nBecoming more popular thanks to recent advances in LASIK and the permanency of the procedure, monovision takes three to four weeks to adjust to and isn't guaranteed - some patients have trouble adjusting and a trial period with contact lenses simulating the corrections is recommended.

Would the carpal tunnel be larger or smaller if there are more/larger attachments for flexor retinaculum?

I think that you can't tell just by knowing that the tubercles are larger in orangutangs.  I think you would have to measure, you also need to know that their nerves and vessels may all be larger as well to fit the larger carpel tunnel.  Are you trying to determine if orangutangs are less suceptible to having carpal tunnel syndrome by studying their anatomical features?  Interesting concept.  By the way, the flexor retinaculum is a tendonous sheath, not a muscle.

how much is $200,000 in 1954 worth today?

Assuming no growth do to interest earned then $200,000 in 1954 $$ would be worth only $26,560 in 2006 $$. The factor from 1954 to 2006 is 7.53 Another way to look at it would be to say it would take $1,506,000 of todays $$ to buy the same thing you could buy in 1954 for $200,000.\n\nNow if it had been invested in 1954 at 5% interest rate it would be worth $2,500,000 in 2006 dollars with the buying power of about $336,000 1954 $$.

who is the tallest basketball player/the best?

Bradley and Yao Ming are the tallest at 7'6. \nAs for the best -\n\nThe most skilled offensively is Kobe Bryant. He can score from anywhere on anyone.\n\nThe best passer is Steve Nash. Leads the league in assists again, even without Amare this year.\n\nThe best defender is Ron Artest. Strong, quick and tough. Can guard point guards to power forwards. Nobody wants him covering them.\n\nThe best rebounder is Ben Wallace. Strong, quick, athletic and always in good position. \n\nThe best shot blocker is Andrei Kirelinko. He doesn't lead the league in blocks but he recovers quickly and, at 6'9 gets more than his share.\n\nThe most complete player is LeBron James. He scores, passes, rebounds, defends... There's nothing he doesn't do.\n\nBut the best overall player is still Kobe. Besides being the best offensive player, he is a tough defender, a creative passer and an excellent ball handler. Plus he has a combination of size, speed and athleticism that matches with anyone. Combine that with his knowledge of the game and clearly he is the best in the game right now.


Praying is a worthwhile option but be careful to pray to your own God. imagine the most loving, forgiving, caring, patient, headstrong and determined person you can and ask for their help. but beware cults like Jehovahs, Catholics, born agains etc. I don't codemn them but they have many pitfalls (they all believe they are divine yet few show any signs of it). If possible ask the mother to get an allergy test...be aware of her environment, diet etc. You'd be suprised how something as simple as dairy milk or sugar can affect a fragile mind.\nIf she is in the mental health system she ironically has less freedom/control. Psychiatric drugs are an abomination, mental hospitals break almost half of all the human rights a person is due under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Doctors will dispute this but they're making a fortune and are in reality above reproach. \nIf possible encourage her/the family to try to be physically active get plenty of fresh air, sun, fresh food etc. If anyone reading this thinks it is soppy fantasy ...you have no idea.... I was sectioned and abused by a mental hospital. My family and ex-partner tried to keep me locked up and take my child. By sheer determination I kept my sanity (just about)I smuggled a letter out via a brother and took legal action. Ten years later I still live with my child as a single parent I have nothing to do with my family, ex-partner. I went to college and got a third level qualification and am in a well paid professional job.\n\nBe careful not to get too involved, sometimes people aren't even honest with themselves. It takes a lot of courage to face and forgive yourself sometimes so be careful not to get drawn into what maybe someones false reality. If the person is unable/unwilling to face reality no-one else can do it for them.\n\nI am tormented by thoughts of suicide as there's just about no-one I trust and life is misery quite often. I stay active, eat well and believe in the 5th commandment:thou shall not kill, myself or any living thing (I'm now fruitarian/grains and seeds included).  \n\nGood luck. your dilemma is heartbreaking. I've been living with a broken heart for the last 19 years but I refuse to believe it wont mend. aim to be that strong, patient, caring, forgiving (to those who seek forgiveness-I believe you can't forgive someone who doesn't want it) god made us in his image and I believe we will have him in our hearts again sooner or later just like children DO.  peace with a passion.


Goosebumps are a physiological phenomenon inherited from our animal ancestors, which was useful to them but are not of much help to us. Goosebumps are tiny elevations of the skin that resemble the skin of poultry after the feathers have been plucked. (Therefore we could as well call them "turkeybumps" or "duckbumps.") These bumps are caused by a contraction of miniature muscles that are attached to each hair. Each contracting muscle creates a shallow depression on the skin surface, which causes the surrounding area to protrude. The contraction also causes the hair to stand up whenever the body feels cold. In animals with a thick hair coat this rising of hair expands the layer of air that serves as insulation. The thicker the hair layer, the more heat is retained. In people this reaction is useless because we do not have a hair coat, but goosebumps persist nevertheless. \n\n\nIn addition to cold, the hair will also stand up in many animals when they feel threatened--in a cat being attacked by a dog, for example. The elevated hair, together with the arched back and the sideward position the animal often assumes, makes the cat appear bigger in an attempt to make the dog back off. People also tend to experience goosebumps during emotional situations, such as walking down the aisle during their wedding, standing on a podium and listening to a national anthem after winning in sports, or even just watching horror movies on television. Quite often a person may get goosebumps many years after a significant event, just by thinking about the emotions she once experienced, perhaps while listening to the romantic song to which she danced many years ago with the love of her life. \n\nThe reason for all these responses is the subconscious release of a stress hormone called adrenaline. Adrenaline, which in humans is produced in two small beanlike glands that sit atop the kidneys, not only causes the contraction of skin muscles but also influences many other body reactions. In animals, this hormone is released when the animal is cold or facing a stressful situation, preparing the animal for flight-or-fight reaction. In humans, adrenaline is often released when we feel cold or afraid, but also if we are under stress and feel strong emotions, such as anger or excitement. Other signs of adrenaline release include tears, sweaty palms, trembling hands, an increase in blood pressure, a racing heart or the feeling of 'butterflies' in the stomach.

what is lymphedema  ? its treatment is??

Chyluria occurs as a result of communication between the lymphatics and the urinary system.  Chyle is commonly due to filariasis but may also result from congenital megalymphatics which leak into the urethra or the bladder. It is a striking condition in which the urine is milky.  Filiariasis is really parasitic lymphedema.  Lymphedema is caused by a malfunction or loss of lymph nodes due to surgery, damaged nodes, missing nodes, etc.  It occurs when the body cannot properly circulate the fluid, so it begins to pool.  Lymph consists of 96% water.  There are lymph vessels almost everywhere in the body.  \n\nLymphedema can be hereditary/congenital or secondary, there are several stages.  Some signs include heaviness, swelling, discomfort, tightness, numbness, pain, tingling, etc.  Lymphedema is treated by what is called complete/complex decongestive therapy.  It's a routine performed by a certified lymphedema therapist which consists of manual lymph drainage which is medical massage bodywork, compression, skin care, and special exercises to promote lymph flow.

Is anyone alarmed at the growing amount of pornography?

I think it is very degrading to women.  I do not know why they do this and it is a question that enters my mind when I talk to a friend of mine who is into porn.  He is obsessed with this and it actually is running his entire life.  Has affairs with numerous women and has porn all over his computer.  Of course I do not respect him or the fact that he doesn't respect women, nor himself.  I feel there needs to be laws on this.  What a person does in private is his/her personal business.  But what satisfaction does a man get looking at magazines, internet, porn flicks, etc?  I honestly feel it is his real sense of inadequacy and definitely does not feel good about himself.\nWhen it comes to the sick-o man who preys on children is another sickening story which makes me ill thinking about it.  \nIf a man reads this...let us know why you need these degrading things.  You cannot be fully satisfied, otherwise you wouldn't be looking at these things.

If a person wishes to live in the United States and work in the United States, then he/she should have to learn English.  English is the language spoken in The United States and if I were to move to a different country, like Mexico, Spain, France or elsewhere, do you think that the people in those countries would learn English for me or would I be expected to learn to speak and understand their language in order to get a job or function in their society?


How much can you charge hourly for cleaning offices? Is there even a market for cleaning offices?

I think $10 an hour is reasonable.  Don't forget you'll have to have workers compensation insurance too.

how to invest 250,000 for retiment--age 45-60% stock Which kind and 40% bond!!!?

Get yourself an investment planner who will sit down with you and map out all of your assets, liabilities, needs and goals.  He'll help you create a plan tailored to your risk tolerance and he'll monitor it for you to keep your money growing.  Discount brokerages don't give the personal attention that you deserve.\n\nI recommend Chris Haera at Wachovia Securities.  He's in Rockland County, New York and it honestly doesn't matter where in the world you are.  Call him at (845) 639-7238 or toll free at (800) 431-7013.  Tell him you were referred by JD from BNI to receive even quicker attention.


Why are people so racist on here??? I have real question about me and my boyfriend!?

Don't let it get to you. Maybe they're just jealous because if you get married and have kids, they will be extra beautiful. Don't ask me how, but biracial children without fail tend to be attractive.  \n\nIf it makes you feel any better my husband is Mexican and I'm white, and I couldn't be happier. Plus as a teacher it's an added bonus for me because so many of my students can't figure out if I'm white or Mexican (I've got blonde hair, blue eyes, a very Spanish last name and I'm told a Spanish accent.) and they get so thrown off. I absolutely love it. Case and point, have fun and be happy. Screw what people say.  They don't live your life.   \n\nMany blessings :)

How do I obtain a 2004 Turbotax form on line?

TurboTax 2004 website is at http://turbotax.intuit.com/commerce/catalog/category.jhtml?categoryId=cat0000000000006333121  - they offer various products and starts at $39.95 for federal alone (additional $29.95 for state). \n\nI have used for the past 3 years now the form of TaxSlayer http://www.taxslayer.com - they are one of the approved vendors of IRS for online filing. Unlike Turbotax, they charge a flat fee of $9.99 for ALL federal and state individual tax forms. And that price includes e-filing already. No additional fees for downloading other forms such as state, Schedule C or K1 or others. With TurboTax, downloading Schedule C for example costs $59.95. \n\nI've been very satisfied with them.


I like my wife more than she does, this totally affects me, I do a lot for her and she not,tried a lot?

the question is, how do you know that you love her more than she does? and if she really do, just give her time. maybe she went through something before you both got married. try talking to her and just put more effort on making her happy. i'm pretty sure she'll realize that you're important to her as much as she is to you!

what makes more of an impact in gaining muscle. exersice or nutrition?

You can't gain muscle.... you have a certain amount of muscle and you are not going to get anymore. But you can tone and/or add bulk.  Nutrition and exercise both play an important role.   One without the other will not give you what your body needs.  You need balance.

Make friends and talk to them.  Ask them to correct mistakes you make instead of just ignoring them out of politeness.  And be happy when they do.  Listen to the radio, to movies, to cartoons, children's programs, be with people as much as you can.  Also, read.  Read children's books to start with, but reading really helps you learn spoken English.  You see words in sentences and context and can look at them for awhile and see how they are used.  Go to the library and ask a librarian to suggest a simple, but intersting children's book with a few chapters that you could read.


a friend wants to get off probation early his lawyer ask the DA cause he has never been in trouble befor?

It depends on what your friend is on probation for.  How long has this friend been on probation.  If he/she has only been on pro. a short time it is unlikely that they will be taken off.  If it was a serious offense that would be a factor against them also.  Is there a compelling reason why this person "needs" to be off pro.?  \nThe summer months always see an increase in crime especially in large cities.  Judges are not generally in a good mood.  NOT a great time to ask for a favor.  If the DA opposes early release from probation or there was a plea agreement involved the chances are very slim that your friend will get what he/she wants.

why are my mens flow so painful even when i use painkillers?


Need help with Ghosts... serious answers please?

What u should do is:\n(1) make sure u allow plenty of sunlight into the apartment during the day, and make sure the sunlight spreads around the apartment.\n\n(2) U should also play happy music, or rock music, etc. at a high volume in the apartment as much as possible. But make sure you don't annoy the neighbours! No gloomy music\n\n(3) Seek religious help: for example Buddhism, etc. Buddhist monks have a lot of rituals/hymns/prayers to counteract this sort of thing.\n\n(4) You know those talismans that help protect against spirits, especially the evil ones: well purchasing one might help. \n\n(5) Move the bed into a different position\n\n\nApparently, bright light and sound causes the whole place to brighten up, improves the karma of the surroundings. I do not know how to explain this, but i will try my best. Light and sound brings life back into the surrounding environment, which is opposite of those entities you are talking about. It is sort of like fighting a force with an opposing force, like fire and water.\n\nThe coldness u experienced, indicates a high level of haunting. I heard that fact on a ghost tour. Maybe if u hired urself a medium to help and to talk with the dead, will help. Maybe it won't.\n\nI don't exactly know for sure, but I have a thought: maybe the ghost(s) is a bit annoyed that you have occupied their space. Just a thought. So, again just a thought: you could try and make sure they know that it is your appartment and your space politely. Failing that I do not really know.\n\nWhen you sleep at night, you could place a talisman beside you, e.g. on the bedside table or something. Those talismans are hard to get sometimes. You could try going to a Taoist monastery, or a Buddhist monastery, etc.\n\nI think the Catholic Church might have something. Again, I am not sure.\n\nFurthermore, for some strange reason, I was told once that people who are easy to scare are the ones who are targeted by the ghosts. I was told it would be better to be more happy, and more brave, etc. and if you see one, just ignore it. I imagine it might be difficult, but afterall you are dealing with something that most people believe do not exist.\n\nPs. have u checked whether ur room has a draught or something. Maybe ur room is not properly insulated or something. But if u are sure it's a haunting, then hope you come out of it successfully!


I used to think it was enjoyable making fun of creationists.  Their ideas are so wacky, and they are almost completely ignorant of any scientific advance of the past 50 years.  But after a while you realize people like that are just going to believe what they want to believe.  I think it's interesting that when it comes to ANY other branch of science (medicine, computers, genetics, etc.) religious people have no problem accepting science.  ONLY when science contradicts their own unfounded beliefs (creationism) do religious people challenge science.


How do I re-enter the work force after being home for 12 years?

Have you done any volunteer work or helped at school? If so this will help. \n\nAlso try part time first or take some refresher courses. It can be done. Put down you were home with your children and now it is time to go back to work, well you want to. And that your kids are in school full time. \n\nMake it clear you are there to stay. I take it you are not having any more kids? So you want to work outside the home now. \n\nI stayed home with my daughter too.


why inspite of my best effort i cannot snuff this bud of love from my heart?


Where did the Jews think the miracles of Jesus came from and why not from God?

The Bible says that miracles prove nothing!\n\nDeuteronomy 13:1-3 If there arise among you \na prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth \nthee a sign or a wonder, 2 And the sign or \nthe wonder come to pass, whereof he spake \nunto thee, saying, Let us go after other \ngods, which thou hast not known, and let us \nserve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto \nthe words of that prophet, or that dreamer of \ndreams: for the Etrnl your Gd proveth you, to \nknow whether ye love the Etrnl your Gd with \nall your heart and with all your soul. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, if the person says he will do a miracle, AND THEN DOES THAT MIRACLE, but his message is against what the Bible says, then dont believe him even if he did the miracle!\n\nAnd if the Bible says, \n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu)\n\nand does miracles, STILL, dont believe that he can die for your sins!

if Jesus is the god how he couldn't protect himself from people he created?

Well, easy.. because Jesus is not God neither the son of God... he's a prophet like the rest of them and a human like the rest of us.. he used to eat, drink, get hurt, laugh and suffer.\nThe word "son" in hebrew is also translated as "servant" which could be seen as Servant of God, or Slave of God. Also, the Bible has been changed many times to fit certain situations, so maybe at a certain point it seemed suitable to make Jesus become the "son" or a "god"! Or maybe some Rabbis in ancient times translated it this way in order to put Christians astray... you'll never know why it became like this!\n\nActually, you're asking if he's God or His son why did he die? Worse, how could Satan seduce him in the desert? How could Satan seduce his creator? Also, it is weird to think that God needs to become human in order to understand us!! It's funny!

What are the differences between a Southern Baptist church and a Baptist church in the northern states?

cutetrio2002,\n\nMy father was a Southern Baptist minister, so I know some of the history of the Baptists. The Baptists originated in Germany where they were called Anabaptists. In America, the Baptists were all one group until the time of the Civil War when they split over the slavery issue. Today there are several types of Baptists, but mainly the same 2 groups who split over slavery. Obviously the Southern Baptists supported slavery while the American Baptists in the north opposed it. I have heard of Conservative Baptists, and I seem to remember some others, but I don’t remember their names. While there are black churches that are affiliated with the Southern Baptists, they are often called Missionary Baptist churches.\n\nAll Baptists believe similarly. By the way, I believe that Southern Baptists still have the largest foreign missionary program of any denomination. I trust this will help.\n\nGod bless.\n\ncutetrio2002,\n\nI add this note for vangyblue from Wikipedia:\n\nSeveral existing denominational bodies may be legitimately regarded as the successors of the Continental (European) Anabaptists — Amish, Baptists, Brethren, Hutterites, Mennonites, Bruderhof Communities and Quakers.\n\nI don't want to argue. I just thought that you might like to know.\n\nGod bless.

were can i find a job in bosten working with kids?

If you get your resume together and look the right way.  I have seen a lot of resumes from college grads that say that they want a challenging job with personal growth. No employer wants to see that, it shows the person had no idea what he or she wants to do-it goes in the garbage. The other one is paragraphs about how they are team players. The employer got 100 with the same wording yesterday. Into the garbage. Better is To obtain a position as a sales trainee where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. That resume gets kicked over to the sales dept. I saw one resume that said his hobby was skydiving and then he wondered why the mortgage companies never called him.\nOnly 10% of all jobs are advertised. Advertising costs money and hopefully a position will be filled before they have to run an ad. 70% of all jobs are filled because someone knows someone.  You have to tell everyone you know including your mother's cousin that you are looking for work. Get out the yellow pages and look up companies in your field, call and ask if you can fax your resume over and to who's attention. Fax it over and if you don't get a call back in a week, call the person you faxed it over to. Don't forget there are state, federal adn local civil service jobs, too.


how do I compute for training cost of a class?

You need to first figure out what your costs will be. Your costs are usually:\n\nLabor costs for the teacher (how much does it cost in labor time to prepare the class, teach the class, and do anything outside of class that is required (grade papers, etc.)\n\nMaterials cost: How much will materials cost to deliver the class. Include handouts, flipcharts, videos, etc.\n\nVenue costs: How much will it cost to have the use of a training room? Include refreshments and food in this cost.\n\nMarketing costs: Include how much it costs to advertise the class if you are responsible for this (postage, brochures, printing, etc.)\n\nProfit margin: Give yourself a profit for your work.\n\nThe number of participants plays a role in terms of cost; usually the more participants you have the lower the overall per person cost is.\n\nAdd it all up, see how much your cost is, then see how many participants you'll need to make the kind of money you want to make from the training.


You need to meet with a dietitian. Your insurance should cover it, and you can get your doctor to recommend it if need be. Regular meetings should include meal plans, grocery list, snacks to have on hand, and times to eat them. Get on a tight eating schedule based on the plan you come up with for your needs. This will help your body to adjust and learn to regulate it self. That is important when you blood sugar play such a vital role in how and what you eat. Once you are in a regular schedule, and have given your body time to adjust to it, work with your nutritionist to start adding weight.

I am having a divorce. He want the house my son/me live in. Help with place to live. agnesnaidu@yahoo.com?

From a youngsters point of view:\n    I've experienced many friends, and seen many families go through divorce; the largest mistake I've seen is allowing someone else to take control of your life.  By that I mean taking property, children, and pride.  Many of the answers already given are right.  If you own, or partly own the house, fight for it.  If he wants your son, fight for custody too.  Make it so that he too is supporting the rising of your child.  After all, he was key in the child process.  Getting a job is very important.  Especially if your serious about holding on to your child.  As for getting married again, everyone is right, take it slow.  Let the relationship with your son grow stronger before you allow someone else in your life.  For your benefit, and his.  \nI wish you the best with your situation.  Don't worry too much about life, no one yet has made it out alive.  :-)\n\n21yo M.

How do I maintain a great friendship with someone that is obviously interested in being more than friends?

I think the best thing that you can do is continue to be a friend. Talk with her and let her know about the vibes that you are getting from her. Tell her that don't want anything to come in between the great friendship that you have. The best that you can offer her is your hand in friendship. She will respect and appreciate your honesty.


Yeah..I would ask her out too.  What do you have to loose?  Besides, if you don't ask her, someone else will and then you may never have that chance to ask her again and you'll regret it.. Ask her out, Man!!  \n\nGood Luck.

High school is the best time of your life? Perhaps you haven't experienced much else of life.\n\nI'm not gonna say that high school was terrible, but it definitely wasn't the highlight of my life.\n\nThere's too much pressure in high school to be someone that you are not. Status is defined by the clothes you wear and the type of car that you drive... even though it was the parents who bought the car and the clothes. So in essence, high school is just a competition of "my parents spoil me more than your parents spoil you".


I have a automatic level, how do I use it to raise grade level for a slab?

You will need two people to do this, a podman and a stickman.\n\nThe podman will work the tripod & transit. The stickman will work the grade stick (the 16' one).\n\n1. Setup the transit & tripod. Choose a spot where you can see, with the pod, all locations that you will have to mark grade with. The tripod should be located in a hard surface (i.e. asphalt or concrete) location to minimize movement.\n\nSetup the tripod & mount the pod. Make sure that the pod is level using the bubble located on the pod. This is very important. Sight all locations that you will have to mark grade, this is also important as you will not want to move the tripod if possible.\n\n2. Get a base reading of the finish floor of your building. To make this easy, your finish floor (FF) of the building is always 100'-0". Always. Have your stickman go to the finish floor location, and hold his stick. It must be vertical in all respects. Sight the stick through the pod. This will tell you your relative pod elevation (which is important to determine all other grade). For instance, if the stick is measuring 4.5' or 4'6" (depending on which kind of stick you got, an engineering or English measurement), you now know that the pod elevation is 104'-6" (FF elev of 100'-0" plus 4'6").  \n\nA word of warning - your pod elevation will always change everytime you move it. So to take additional shots, you must always calculate your pod elevation after you move the pod.\n\n3. Shoot the locations of your grade that you wish to alter. For instance, if you want to raise all of your grade to 100'-0" (FF elevation), and you shoot an elevation of 8.3' on the stick, you will need to raise your grade by\n\nMath: Pod elevation: 104.5'\nStick Shot: 8.3'\nDifference: 104.5 - 8.3 = 96.2' elevation\nRaise grade by: 100.0'-96.2' = 3.8'\n\nDrive a wood survey stake & record the elevation that you shot and your cut / fill amount in feet. This will help you remember where you took the shots & how much fill you need to place.\n\nFinally, as a construction professional, it is a very bad idea to raise outside grade to the same level as your finish floor. In the case of heavy rains / floods, there is nothing to keep the water from coming into your structure! A much better way is to slope the grade away at a minimum of 2% (or a 1/4" per foot) away from the structure, with a maximum of 5% slope (or 3/4" per foot) due to ADA.


Extrapolation in when you see a trend, as in a graph, and then follow the direction of that trend to figure out what the value would be at a certain point that has not been actually measured.  For example, if you see the daily high temperature in Phoenix rise by one degree every day for a week, you can extrapolate this to estimate that the temperature will be 7 degrees warmer in a week.  Extrapolation is estimation using past trends.


Why does Mexico do so bad at the World Cups?

Because Mexico like others in the CONCACAF ( the region in which US and Mexico reside) is the weakest in the world.  Many players from Brazil are technically stronger and Mexico does does play Brazil and Argentina often enough, but Mexicans do not play in Europe as much as others in the confederation.  But the key to Brazils success is the deep love and pride in the game, which Mexicans have but they usually lack individual strengths of Adrianno, Renaldo, Ronaldinio, Revaldo ( from teh past), Rogia Jr. etc.

Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party won a landslide victory in Thailand's 2001 general election. The electorate's strong disaffection with former prime minister Chuan Leekpai's pro-International Monetary Fund (IMF) economic policies was instrumental to Thaksin's victory. \n\nThe TRT pledged to improve rural living conditions through new subsidized loans and the creation of a debt moratorium for farmers. In addition, the party pledged to improve the nation's health-care system.\n\n\nThaksin, reputably Thailand's wealthiest man, also pledged major changes for his country's business sector. Economic liberalization demanded by the IMF threatened many of Thailand's wealthy elite in both the private and public sectors. Thaksin promised to create a debt-management company to remove bad assets from the country's banks and eliminate significant amounts of private- and public-sector corporate debt. \n\nThaksin also hinted that he would oppose IMF-dictated bankruptcy legislation that would have closed many Thai companies. And he also alluded that he would reduce foreign investment in Thailand to protect domestic companies.
