Can anyone tell me what being a graphic designer is all about?

Graphic design is the applied art of arranging image and text to communicate a message, or facilitate understanding. It may be applied in any media, such as print, digital media, motion pictures, animation, product design, packaging, and information signs. Graphic design as a practice can be traced back to the origin of the written word, but only in the late 19th century did it become identified as a separate entity.\n\nGraphic design is a porous discipline, and overlaps significantly with other disciplines, including, but not limited to, the visual arts, architecture, interior design, illustration, photography, human-computer interaction, user interface design, information design and interaction design. Designers may produce ethnographies as part of the qualitative research for defining needs or features for a product, service or communication object. A relatively recent development is the closely related practice of experience design.\n\nThe fundamental principles of design are alignment, balance, color, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, proportion, proximity, repetition, rhythm, texture, unity, and white space.

What do you think the success rate is of starting a tanning spa in a small town.  The closest tanning is 20 mi

I came to the mid West 6 months ago and was very surprised with the number of tanning salons.  It must be a better investment than I had thought.  You might want to make it a mini-gym as well.  People who tan like to look good and spending time on an exercycle would be up their alley.

Pain releases endorphines into the brain.  If someone is really struggling with depression pain is often the only thing that gives any temporary relief.  If you know someone who is cutting themselves there are several things you can do.  First, they probably need to be on an anti-depressant.  Second, help them get exercise and encourage them to eat healthy, but very spicy foods.  Both of these things can also release endorphines into the brain (for the same reason, actually.  They all cause some sort of pain, so the brain self-medicates itself).

I feel we were right to go into Iraq... and also believe that we should stay until they are able to maintain their freedom on their own.  We are a free country and as such have received much help and support from other countries to stay that way.  We owe it to the world to help out.  As far as why... I'd rater be fighting this war in Iraq than here in the US... it could happen.  I hate to hear people talking like we are killing innocent people and the like... our soldiers are trained to protect life and freedome... not to go around killing people.  They will however fire upon those who are threatening their mission.. I wouldn't consider these people innocent.  Our soldiers may have been partially responsible for some civilian casualties... but if those civilians are assisting or hiding the people we are seeking... that's not very innocent either.  Plus let's remember that a good number of casualties are caused by terrorist bombs meant to kill our soldiers... many civilians have lost their lives to these as well.\n\nIf you ever get the opportunity... sit down and actually TALK to someone who's actually been there and ask their opinion (most believe we are doin the right thing and are proud of what we/they have accomplished over there... just make sure when your finished with the conversation... You THANK them for EVERYRTHING they have done and given up to keep us free and safe.

are people on salary entitled to overtime pay?

Salary is the way you are paid, not the classification of a job. There are two classifications Exempt & Non-Exempt.  It depends on the state & federal laws which one applies to your job. The link below will explain in detail which jobs are which. \n\nBTW: It does not matter what the employer says - the employer can say whatever they want. What matters is what the law says it is. I have seen employers get sued for claiming somethign is exempt when it is not.\n\nNote - the Federal law changed in the past few years, so if you take someone's advice, make sure you are getting current information.


I didn't read the other two answers ahead of me, but I can tell you why I love golf. \n\nObviously the point of golf is to get the ball in the hole in the fewest number of strokes possible. A two year old could figure that out. But that's kind of like saying the point of painting is to cover the canvas in as few strokes as possible. It just doesn't cut to the heart of the matter, the statement misses the point. \n\nTo me golf is an art form, I've played the game at a high level, as a former apprentice member of the PGA of America, but I know that on any given day there are thousands and thousands of golfers in the world who can beat me easily, even on my best day. So automatically the point of the game, to get the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes possible, is unattainable to me. \n\nHowever, when it comes to hitting the shots that I want to hit, when I want to hit them, making putts, getting up and down from greenside bunkers, recovering from bad holes or shots....I can still compete with myself, and against the course. This is the true challenge of golf to me, simply competing against the course and trying to be the best I can be. \n\nNow you mentioned drinking and driving around in a cart. To me that aspect of the game is garbage, total garbage and it's exactly what's wrong with the game. It's why a round of golf takes 5 or 6 hours to play 18 holes on a weekend. Weekend hackers think that it's their duty to get hammered and play golf....why? I have no idea! Would you play $60.00 bucks to do something and then get smashed to the point that you no longer can enjoy yourself or compete at what you set out to do??? It's moronic. \n\nI consume alcohol, buy I've never mixed drinking and glof, at least not until the 19th hole. And I'll walk a good majority of the time, it keeps me concentrating on hitting good shots and also enjoying the outdoors and getting some exercise while I'm at it. \n\nThis may be hard for some to believe, but my dad and I used to play 36 holes in under 2 hours on our local muni.....we'd go out after the last leagues, at about 6 p.m., and play until dark, we'd skip around the other players on the course, and it would be a rare night that we didn't play 36. No drinking, no messing around, just playing good golf and having fun.....that's the heart of the game, enjoying yourself and competing against the course. \n\nIf you're just going out there to drink, ride around in a cart, and slap some shots around.....do us all a favor and go play mini-golf.


is orange juice good to drink if u are tring to lose weight?

No not really. Nature intended for us to eat the fruit not just drink the juice. How many oranges are you drinking with a glass of juice. The fruite by itself has the pulp in it which helps regulate the sugar. With out the pulp you are getting a sugar blast.\n\nIf you are seriouse about weight loss then check out these links below.

how can i improve my vocabulary in english by using games?

*Pouncing on this one* In the wide expance of the web are games mainly rpg style (both fantasy and sci-fi including the goth styled vampire: the masquarade)...\n\nA personal fav is the classic MUD (Multi-User Dungeon Game) MOO MUSE MUSH types which use telnet to connect. The usual pc proggie to connect is here http://www.tucows.com/preview/194246\nA general list of them here http://www.ciens.ula.ve/~msanchez/mush-yahoo.html\nImagine worlds, some so in depth that they go on for encredible lengths, where 25-100 people are on at once.\nThe area you are in is meticulously detailed to items weapons, armor, monsters, bartenders ect. There are quests to quest, maidens to rescue, games to play, bars to hang out in and best yet, it is all text based...\nMy pick of that genre is http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&wf=1&view_records=1&MUD+Name=IgorMUD\nTell em Blackwolf says hi...\n;c)\n\nNext there are MPOGs (Multi Player Online Games) Want to own territory, build up your armies, pick from dozens of races, conquer territory from the enemy, use various spells to protect yourself and do harm to others, all the while interacting with the 20 or so others in your kingdom? \nThen mpog's may be for you. A list of everything you might wanna know bout the many that exist here http://www.mpogd.com/ Use the index to search out sci-fi versions where you take planets using your fleet of self designed starships...\nOr my personal pick is http://www.kamikazegames.com/dominion/\nAgain is text based and primarily english spoken but played by people in all countries...


A lot of it is a result of propaganda. I don't think we *all* jump to the conclusion that *all* Muslims, etc. are overly reactionary, though they are the "enemy" right now and many here feel it's their "patriotic" duty to hate them. But we need to remember that only a fraction of the Muslim population is responsible for recent terror attacks, not the group as a whole. It just so happens that the most vocal group of Muslims is the part getting all the attention.\n\nThis is the problem of allowing too much religion into our lives. Faith in a higher power is fine, but too much "devotion" elicits fanaticism. Look at the Danish cartoon flap - now in Iran, Danish pastries are called "Roses of Mohammed" or something like that. That and (especially) the rioting and embassy burning is an EXTREME overreaction to what is really a piddly editorial cartoon. Regardless, we need to remember not to hate the Muslims for their religious beliefs, but we can hate the way they think they need to carry them out. I can't imagine any religion truly advocates such violence or reactionary behavior - if so, it's definitely not a religion worth following.

is it safe to say that all stars have orbits ??? Any proof that this statement coul dbe wrong ??

Certain mathematical models have shown how a three body system can cause the smallest body to be flung away from the system with great velocity.  Hence, with all the billions and billions of stars, there is probably at least one or two that have been flung out of their galaxies and are effectively orbiting nothing at all.

can a buy back out of a contract because they decide they don't like the interest rate they got?

This really does depend on the state and the what's in the contract...but...\n\nI am NOT in Florida, but here there IS language in the standard real estate contract for a financing contingency.  There is shows how many days a buyer has to make application and then how many days until a buyer must have full loan approval.  Usually a buyer has to provide a loan commitment letter from his lender showing he got the financing before this contingency is removed.\n\nIn the states near me, IF the financing terms are filled out on the contract and IF the buyer can not get the terms stated or better, than YES he can void his contract with the financing contingency. The only exception is if he waited too long to get the loan rate locked.\n\nIF there is NOT a financing contingency (none in the contract, the buyer waived it, or the contingency was removed with the letter you have), then the buyer would be defaulting if he does not settle and its possible you would be able to go after his earnest money deposit.\n\nThe best advice would be for you to consult a real estate lawyer with your contract and all the facts.  It's the only way to be sure.\n\nP.S. -- I would not always blame the buyer -- many lenders out there give "pre-approvals" with great rates and then the buyer finds out AFTER full application that the rate they qualify for is much different OR that there are hefty closing cost fees associated with it.

What will happen whit the Hamas in Power ?

I seriously don't think anything is going to change,  Israel a few years ago sent in helicopters and shot missiles at some Palestinian terrorists to prove a point, and since then the violence hasn't been as great, \nplus all these wack job islamo extremists are fighting in Iraq,\n\nthe real reason they won is because the people were rejecting the corrupt party that was in power before,\n\nWill Hamas change its charter about killing Israel?  I don't think they will,  but I don't think they will take any different steps then they have in the past,\n\nso nothing will change.\n\nNothing ever changes.

how can we solve poverty in our society today?

The Brookings Institute did a great study called Work and Marriage: The Way to End Poverty and Welfare by Ron Haskins and Isabel V. Sawhill. September 2003.  Some of the ideas they had were really great.  They said that by increasing the numbers of hours that people living under the poverty line worked to 30 hours the poverty level is lowered from 13% to 7.5%.  This plan did allow for people living under the poverty line to pursue higher education instead of work, which lowered poverty 1.9%. They also said by giving incentives for people living under the poverty line to marry, that decreased the percent of people living in poverty another 3.5%.  Lastly, limiting the benefits to 2 children lowered the poverty level another 1.7%.  All four of these things together lowered poverty 9.3% from 13% to 3.7%.  Where doubling welfare benefits only lowered poverty by 1.1%.  The study also listed benefit to these programs.  For example, the money spent on these programs would be recouped in tax dollars earned from the new taxable income that is created by the 30 hours of work that people formerly living under the poverty would be performing.  They also cited an increase in public approval that tax payer would have for paying for programs that encourage work instead of discouraging it, as the current system does.  The article was very interesting and has some very good ideas.  Although people who prefer living off government handouts may not like it, a hand-up or a helping hand is always better then a handout.  I am a single mother who has used various government assistance (such as daycare assistance, Pell Grants, Medicaid, and WICK) to earn a bachelors degree and move my son and I out from under the poverty line.  The money that tax payers and the government spent helping me is definitely paying off, as now I am a hard working, taxpaying citizen. Unfortunately, I believe I am in the minority.


Are the payments I receive from Worker's Compensation taxable?


Michael Jordan is still the greatest NBA player.  Do you think so?

All time, it's definitely MJ.  And for now, he's the last great player.  LeBron isn't there yet, Kobe is a selfish jerk, Tim Duncan isn't as exciting.  I have a feeling MJ's throne is safe for a while.\n\nEdit: To Paul, that's the point though isn't it.  Kobe's regressed in his carrer.  He had a winning formula when he had Shaq, but that wasn't good enough.  Kobe had to have the spotlight.  The Lakers are what they are today because of Kobe's selfishness.  Jordan at least realized that he couldn't do it on his own, he needed Pippen.

Can anyone explain why so many university students act like idiots?

rebelling from what their parents told them they could not do...many parents lie to children saying if you do X you will get Y, but really you don't you get something completely different from what your parents told you...You then might lose trust in your parents and make sure what their parents told them is true. Smart students usually consult friends who did that action for advice before entering an action.


They (homosexuals), like everyone else, in the world are covered. It's no worse for a homosexual, than for someone like me, who use to be addicted to heterosexual sex, or to cocaine, or to alcohol, or a girlfriend, or money, stealing, lying, lazyiness, etc.etc.etc... I've been addicted to all those things. Amazingly that was after became a christian, but had lost touch with God. Now, as I move back in his direction, I feel free of those incredible cluthes. I will always have a desire to go back, because my body loves to indulge the senses. But with some self discipline, and a staying close to God, I will be much stonger. I'm sure that I will fail again, because it's human nature.\n\nBut it doesn't matter what you do or what you've done. You're going to meet God. You don't have to do anything about it, except to accept it, believe it, and say that you're good enough now, because someone else already made the sacrifice that would have been your sentence. \n\nAfter this you will recieve God's Spirit in place of your own, and there will be a war between your body and your mind. It will be easier for you to win this war as you stay close to God and that's something 100% of us have a hard time doing. It takes alot of discipline, but failure in that area doesn't condemn you. Victory, however, will leave you with a new leadership ability.\n\nI'm not necessarily speaking to you, only what you might say to someone who was wondering how to feel about this subject and what they might say to a homosexual who was wondering.


What popular (radio-friendly, party-friendly) songs make you think of particular movies?

Since you mentioned Kenny Loggins, there's also "Footloose."  That reminds me of the "Maniac" song from "Flashdance."  Then, how about "In Your Eyes" from the famous boombox scene in "Say Anything?"  And speaking of Cameron Crowe movies, there's Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" from "Almost Famous" and The Go-go's "We've got the Beat" from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."  Ooh, now I'm thinking 80's, and there's that song at the end of "Breakfast Club" ("Don't You (Forget About Me)" by the Simple Minds).  "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis from "Back to the Future," as well as "Johnny B. Goode" and that slow dance song, "Earth Angel" by Marvin Berry.  Aimee Mann has some songs from "Magnolia" that aren't quite as 'associative' with the movie, but her vibe is specific: "One" and "Save Me," but they're not dance-y by any means, if that's the kind of party you're throwing.  "Twist and Shout" always makes me think of "Ferris Bueller" and you could use any Johnny Cash songs this year like "Ring of Fire" for "Walk the Line."  It's not necessarily radio-friendly (ie: cursing), but "Hustle and Flow" has a few nice hip-hop tracks, like "Hard Out There for a Pimp."  Also, not sure who it's by, maybe Creed or Nickelback: isn't there a song from Spiderman about "a hero to save us"?  Well, those are the first thoughts.  I hope they help.

What causes insomnia and what is the cure?

Insomnia may be caused by a variety of things. There are three main areas that insomnia causes may be grouped into. These are psychological problems, social problems and medical problems. \n\nPsychological Problems\nInsomnia may be the result of depression, stress or some other psychological reason. Many people who suffer from psychological disorders also suffer from sleep disruption. If your insomnia follows a traumatic experience such as a car accident, an assault or a robbery, the trauma of the event may be contributing to your lack of sleep.\n\nSocial Problems\nA tense work environment or a problematic marriage may cause insomnia that falls into the Social Problems category. The frustrations and irritability confronted throughout the day may be replayed in your mind when you try to lie down to go sleep. This may cause you to be unable to sleep, simply tossing and turning for hours.\n\nMedical Problems\nA large assortment of medical reasons may cause insomnia. Being in pain or worrying about your illness may keep you from sleeping. Or the medications you take for your illness may cause you to stay awake.\n\n There are three stages of insomnia:\n\n1- TRANSIENT INSOMMIA.\n2- CHRONIC INSOMMIA.\n3- INTERMITTENT INSOMMIA.\n\nTransient insomnia is also known as short term insomnia, intermittent insomnia is also called on and off and chronic insomnia is called constant. Insomnia lasting from a single night to a few weeks is referred to as transient. If an episode of transient insomnia occurs from time to time it is said to be transient. Insomnia is considered to be chronic if it occurs on most night and lasts for a month or more.\n\nPeople more likely to experience insomnia are those in advanced years, those of the female gender, and those with a history of depression.\n\nTransient insomnia occurs in people who are temporarily experiencing 1 or more of these conditions: stress, noise, hot or cold temperature changes, jet lag and side effects from medications.\n\nChronic insomnia is mainly due to depression, misuse of caffeine and alcohol or shift work.\n\nInsomnia is found in both male and female. But in females in the menopause years it is most common.\n\nInsomnia is diagnosed with a medical history and a sleeping log. A sleeping can be done through journal entries, telling the time you went to bed and the number of times you awaken during the night.\n\nInsomnia is treated differently depending on the stage. Transient and intermittent may not require treatment. Chronic is different. The reason it is different is because the underlying cause must first be found.\n\nThe following are a few handy tips to avoid Insomnia:\n\n1) Don't go to bed until you feel exhausted & sleepy.\n\n2) Don't use the bed for anything else but sleeping i.e. no eating or watching TV.\n\n3) If you don't fall asleep within 15 minutes get up and do something else.\n\n4) Don't take naps during the day.\n\n5) Avoids alcohol and caffeine before bed.\n\nIf you want to eradicate this problem simply follow the tips for getting some proper sleep, which will ensure you stay healthy for a long time. Change your living style, try making some changes in your bedroom surroundings/setup, it may help you feel relaxed and eventually fall asleep.


Which celebrity would you feel safest with?


The molecules of water are closer together and constantly moving, whereas the molecules of ice are in a crystal lattice, meaning they're in a rigid formation. When water freezes, the molecules spread out a little more to form the crystal lattice. Since density is mass over volume, and ice has takes up more volume than water, the density of ice is lesser than that of water. Which makes ice float on water.

Can we, with current technology, bring dogs back to life after we have summarily killed them?

Unlikely to be true.  Any scientist or group of scientists able to pull this off would have held major press conference and would have published results in a major scientific or medical journal.  No press conference, no stories on the wire services, no publication in a reputable journal; highly unlikely to have happened.\nSecond reason:  One would not start with something as complicated as mammals such as dogs; one would start with relatively simpler creatures such as reptiles or even insects or worms.


Which team will won this 2006 Formula 1 season? and which driver?

Updated with more recent pre-season testing info- the favorites have to be Alonso with Renault and Kimi Raikkonen at Mclaren.\n\nRenault so far have looked untouchable on long runs- combining great pace, consistency and reliability. The few times they've gone for qualifying runs, they've been head and shoulders above the rest.\n\nMclaren started with a disasterous pre-season where the new Mercedes V8 engine was woefully down on power and unreliable to boot. It looked like to start the season they would have the weakest engine- and even so couldn't guarentee the necessary 2-race reliability. A shame since their car looked like a gem again.\n\nHowever in the last couple weeks, Mclaren have made HUGE progress in their engine and their most recent tests have been quite reliable. As of now, they look on par with Renault for all out pace, though their consistency may not be quite as good. \n\nThe dark horse has to be Ferrari - after a disasterous 2005 season, the 248 F1 was to be the car to propel them back to glory. While their V8 engine looks quite good, their testing times have not been on par with Renault- both in all-out speed and consistency. Most of the paddock agrees that Michelin still have the edge on Bridgestone this year, and we all know tires by far make the largest impact on performance.\n\nHowever- if Bridgestone can pull a 2004 where they combined a super compound with new construction very late in testing, they could very easily rise to the top again. Ferrari's fortune is tied to their tires, so for now, it looks like Renault and Mclaren will be the front-runners.\n\nLook to Honda and Williams to possibly steal a win or two due to their fantastic engines and good cars.


Is my avitar to much,I am new to this stuff please advise.?


What is the biggest problem facing the public school system in America in the next five years?

Technology.\n\nIronic that something that was created to quickly access knowledge in a convenient way has served to take away from learning as well.\n\nLet me explain....\n\nOur students have been experiencing ADD in higher numbers. One finding in research is that we have become a "push button" society. Children are "plugged in" and "unplugged" numerous times during a day. At one time it was the fault of a "remote control" of a tv that allowed people to surf through numerous channels looking for the right show to stimulate their needs. Now let's not only add the TV to the picture but include the internet. They may have four or five windows open jumping from email to answers to a game to chat site back to their homework. If one doesn't give them the stimuation needed they hop to another and to another. Click to this and back to that.......get bored.....move to next window.\n\nIn addition, students have lost the art of using books for research. They "google" or use wikipedia and rely on answers fed to them from sites that aren't always as reliable as documented print in books. Oh sure.....there are many wonderful sites out there too. Don't get me wrong. But it is not enough to just "google." Students really need to master researching skills and technology has enabled quick access but at a price of accuracy. \n\nWriting is suffering as well. Students are found writing papers in "chatonese." For example:\n\n"This book is the one 4 u! It is so hilarious that I was lol. J/K!" \n\nTeachers can teach writing in brilliant forms. However, if students continually chat on the net in chat speak, it becomes a habit that is hard to break in school.\n\nTechnology is a wonderful thing! But I fear that learning has become "easier" for children. Part of the learning process is taking responsibility for your learning rather than expecting an answer to be fed to you via the net. I'm very anxious about seeing where technology will progress positively in the class room.


What is the best name for a roto baseball tram?

Several years ago,I started using the name "Monarchs",as a way of paying homage to the Kansa City Monarchs of the old negro leagues.They are a part of baseball history that should not be forgotten.There are many of the old negro league teams with names you could use.


Why would a man leave wife , turned 40 & did not like his life,  move in with another women & refuse  2divorce

Because he wants his cake and eat it too.  For him to do this to you shows he has no respect for you nor your daughter nor himself.  Since, he is refusing to sign the papers, then take his but to court to get some alimony, that will make him sign in a quick hurry.

which type of things contain teflon (other than cookware) Is it contained in clothing fibres, for example?

Amongst many other industrial applications, PTFE is used to coat certain types of hardened, armour-piercing bullets, so as to reduce the amount of wear on the firearm's rifling. These are often mistakenly referred to as "cop-killer" bullets on account of PTFE's supposed ability to ease a bullet's passage through body armour. Any armour-piercing effect is, however, purely a function of the bullet's velocity and rigidity rather than a property of PTFE.\n\nPTFE is an excellent electrical insulator with good dielectric properties. This is especially true at high radio frequencies, making it eminently suitable for use as an insulator in cables and connector assemblies and as a material for printed circuit boards. Combined with its high melting temperature this makes it the material of choice as a high performance substitute for the weaker and more meltable polyethylene that is commonly used in low-cost applications.\n\nDue to its low friction, it is used for applications where sliding action of parts is needed: bearings, bushings, gears, slide plates, etc. In these applications it performs significantly better than nylon and acetal; it is comparable with UHMWPE, although UHMWPE is more resistant to wear than Teflon. For these applications, versions of teflon with mineral oil or molybdenum disulfide embedded as additional lubricants in its matrix are being manufactured.\n\nGore-Tex is a material incorporating teflon membrane with micropores\n\n--------------------\n\nAlso you will find it in some paints, fabric to make is dirt/liquid reppelant, tape used by plumbers etc

No, but there's only been 1 song of T.I.'s that I ever liked anyway. I'd have to look at my Need for Speed Underground playlist to see what the name of it is. He made a non-listener of me with that Rubberband Man song.


What if your heaven doesn't jive with someone's elses?

Heaven was created by God, it is a very real place and exist at this very moment.\n we are told that there will be no more sorrow, no more tears no more pain in heaven, to me then, if a loved one of ours didn't get to heaven, then we would remember them no more,because if they aren't in heaven then they are in hell, that would cause us great grief, and sorrow and pain.

How do i get to make good sales and make laods of money?

In fact there is no easy answer to say, if there is everybody can be rich. You should have the vision to decide, the good technical team and the sales people. Nobody thought that Microsoft is going to be a monopole, but it is now. The people who will tell you now probably will lead you to the wrong direction or give you a general advice as i'm doing now.

When was the last eruption of Devils Tower volcano?

It is unlikely that Devil's Tower in Wyoming ever erupted. It was formed as magma was forced upward into sedimentary rocks but there is no evidence that it ever breached the surface of the earth while it was still molten. The molten rock cooled and solidified while still under the surface, probably about 65 million years ago. Since then erosion of the softer sedimentary rocks around it have exposed it's spectacular rock. \n\nHere's the geologic history and further discussion at the National Park Service website:\nhttp://www.nps.gov/deto/geology.htm


Does anyone on this site know how to write a sentence correctly?!?

I think it all depends on the question you are looking at.  I think about 75% of the questions asked on this site are written by 13 year olds.  \n\nAlso, keep in mind that this is an international forum and there are many people here, who do not speak English as their first language.

is it bad on a urine drug test if the temputure is below 90 degrees on the bottle if so dose it matter?

Your going to fail! you have to make sure the temp is right because if its lower than 90 your technically not alive...therefore get a digital thermometer, put piss in condom, on the way to test put the condom in front of car heater and make it hotter than 100 (around 105) that way when you go in there youll have enough time in case they dont test you right away, and even if they do it dont matter because the cup only goes up to 100...


Can Doctors tell if you have had a stroke after 3 months?

Doctors can do imaging studies, like CAT scans or MRI's, that show pictures of the brain - if an area of the brain  has been affected by a stroke, it will often show up.   This will be evident on the tests even months later.\n\nIf your son goes to the doctor, and the doctor suspects a stroke, he can request one of these tests.  However, there are lots of reasons your son may be having difficulty with his left eye - many are correctable, so by all means he should go to his doctor to have it checked out.  Also, a visit to the eye doctor may be useful as well.


the movie Truck Everlasting !can you give m a summerize of the movie???

yes, it is about a girl named Winifred who runs away from her overstrict family who is rich. she escapes to some woods owned by her father and gets lost. She meets a boy named Tuck, or rather sees him drinking from this spring. she wants to try some too, but tuck objects. Suddenly, tuck's older brother Jessie grabs Wini and kidnaps her to their house. Tuck follows and after much confusion and tension, wini befriends tuck and his family and learns of their secret. Meanwhile, there is this man in a yellow suit who is searching to exploit tuck's eternal family. He and wini's parents search for wini and the family. Many a shocking thing happens during this chase, but watch the movie to find out.

Do good guys loose in the long run ? I did?

All the previous post-ers have good points, do consider their advice thoroughly.\nDoubt the world and the motives of those who occupy it, but not the Creator.\nThere's an old expression that says the Lord gives you no more trials than he knows you can handle. To this - I myself have said "Gee I wish he didn't trust me so much."\nAlso there are theories on the trials and tribulations of our lives being things we chose for this life before we were born, all in a desire to experience the life in it's many facets. I also sometimes have a problem with that idea, because there are a number of things in my life that I think "there's no WAY I could have chosen to experience that". But when I'm in a more reflective mood, I realize the events in my life, both joyous and tragic, have shaped me and what I've become. And what's more I am proud of myself, that I haven't let the trials beat me down, and that I don't go around blaming others for what could be considered misfortune.\n\nLife can turn completely around in a moment's notice, you never, ever know what difference one choice can make. Doors of opportunity open and close all around you. Let go of your frustration, it's a grief we've all had at some point. Spend time meditating and searching out what new path is coming up in your life.\nAnd most importantly take a moment to be thankful for all the things you DO have, as it seems there are some significant ones.\n\nDeep breath, blow it out, re-center yourself, and things will be better I promise.

Urgent! 2nd question in electricity, please help! voltage across inductor?

10mH is 10 milli-Henries.  A Henry is a measure of inductance, and is defined as L=di/dt.  Inductors resist changes in current flow.  You have to use calculus to get the equation for an RL (resistor-inductor) circuit, which is what you have.  You are subjecting an RL system to a step input of 10 V from a "voltage source."  See the more technical, long-winded explanation of inductance.\n\nThe second site actually shows you an animated plot of the exact ciruit you are interested in.  \n\nAs a note of interest, large iron core inductors were developed for power supply filters in Vacuum Tube radios and amplifiers.  They had huge inductances of 7H or more.  These days, everything is in microhenries or millihenries because the frequencies in today's electronic systems have gone past 1 gigahertz.  Inductors can act as frequency-dependent resistors.  \n\nThese days, one hugely popular use of an inductor is to store energy in a magnetic field for switching power supplies in conjunction with electrolytic capacitors and FET modulated drives.  Wound 60Hz transformers are quite expensive, large, and heat producing.  The days of linear power supplies with large iron core transformers have given way to tiny circuits with driving transistors, an inductor, and some capacitors.  Switching supplies running at 125kHz or more can use transformers with ferrite (powdered iron) cores and far fewer windings.  The higher frequency packs much more energy than a 60Hz electrical source.\n\nAs a point of interest, try to find an old computer power supply which should be very easy to get.  Open it up.  Look at the parts, and you will see a high frequency transformer, inductors, capacitors, and drive transistors with modulating chips.  The 120VAC from the wall is put through 4 diode rectifiers to make 169V DC with some high voltage capacitors.  This voltage is made available to be switched at relatively high freqencies into a powdered core transformer primary.  The Secondary makes high frequency AC voltage which is rectified and filtered with capacitors and/or inductors.  A voltage detector circuit, usually isolated from the high voltage DC side by an optical isolator, tells the modulating chip what the load is.  The modulator will then vary the duty cycle of the transistors at a constant frequency to move more power across the transformer.  Have fun with electronics!  I love it...

We need help with new ideas for the awards for our chili cook off. any ideas?

?Que pasa Cynthia,\n  OK, since I have never enter a chili cook off in my entire life, nor any cook off for that matter, I feel as though I am more than qualified to answer this question, if only for the fact that I live to eat. Since no one can object to my answering this question, here goes. I think you should award gift certs for various food/equipment  companies that your contestants use, hotel comps for various cities where the winning dish originated from, comp chili dinners from places they have never been to, maybe tickets to cooking shows of the winners choice. \n  In lieu of all that, a 12 pack of brewski never hurt anyone.

which do women prefer the most: boxers,briefs,or nothing at all?

I'm a woman. I do not wear boxers or briefs...so if those are the only choices, I would have to say nothing at all.


Do you think its sexual harrasment if a "naughty comment" is made to you by a person who you find cute or sexy

technically yes, it could be considered sexual harassment. Any sexual attention that could be undesired or out of place can be considered sexual harassment. In all honestly a LOT of things that go on in a work or even school enviroment would be harassemnt. It just depends on the people and what boundraies they have when it comes to that stuff. But legally yes.


What do you do if you're falling in love with an Answerholic?

Mmm... Being an answeraholic myself I can clearly see the dilemma that you face; falling in love with a handsome, witty, intelligent, talented and above all else modest answeraholic can be a wonderful thing, especially if that love is returned (as I am sure that it is), but where do you find time to answer questions and gain the essential pointage when you yourself are also an answeraholic? (As I'm sure that you are).\nPerhaps the two of us... Sorry, I mean the two of YOU should find comfort in the fact that with both of you being answeraholics you can help each other through the diffuculties faced by such an addiction. Do you attend 'Yahoo Answeraholics Anonymous' together? If so then there should be no problem whatsoever.\nI myself am in love with an answeraholic (a beautiful school-teacher with wisdom and grace beyond compare), and she often helps me through the difficulties of my affliction with good advice and good questions to take my mind from my plight. We are both members of Answeraholics anonymous and regularly attend meetings, which allows us to explore the good side of our addiction, while supporting each other through the bad. \nSo I guess the best advice I can give is to embrace your love, and embrace your addiction; for if it were not for Yahoo Answers, you may never have met at all. And if the two of you should ever see a chicken crossing the road, a woodchuck chucking wood, or hear a tree falling in the forest, then at least you'll both know what it means.\nGood luck with your love Libby, although I'm sure that luck is not needed, you sound ideally matched; you are clearly an intelligent and very attractive woman, and he is clearly a lucky, lucky man.\n\nAdditional:\nThanks miss_jojo, I found your answer about eBooks extremely useful.


i need to know the exact term for hardness of a material in engineering terms?

There are several standards: Brinell uses a ball forced into the metal with a known force, the diameter is then measured and indexed. Rockwell is similar, with the depth being measured. Shores uses a diamond tip hammer is dropped onto the material and the bounce of the hammer measured. Vickers is similar to Brinell but a diamond shape is used instead of a ball. The Monotron Indicator  forces a point into the metal to a determined depth and the force required is measured. Keeps test uses a drill bit to penetrate the metal at a predetermined force and number of revolutions, the depth measured. Each has their own uses in various industries. There are numerous hardness conversion tables to compare the various methods.


data integrity  \nRefers to the validity of data. Data integrity can be compromised in a number of ways: \nHuman errors when data is entered \nErrors that occur when data is transmitted from one computer to another \nSoftware bugs or viruses \nHardware malfunctions, such as disk crashes \nNatural disasters, such as fires and floods \n\nThere are many ways to minimize these threats to data integrity. These include: \n\nBacking up data regularly \nControlling access to data via security mechanisms \nDesigning user interfaces that prevent the input of invalid data \nUsing error detection and correction software when transmitting data  \n--x--\ndata security     \n In the computer industry, refers to techniques for ensuring that data stored in a computer cannot be read or compromised by any individuals without authorization. Most security measures involve data encryption and passwords. Data encryption is the translation of data into a form that is unintelligible without a deciphering mechanism. A password is a secret word or phrase that gives a user access to a particular program or system.

im starting to have zits on my face what pruduct should i use to get rid of them?

Go to a dermatologist. :] I get my ointment and stuff from there, and it works.\n\nBut seeing that you have the dance pretty soon, I suggest washing your face with a good facial wash (I use celeteque), and cleasing it with a toner afterwards twice a day will do.\n\nOh! And watch out for what you eat.\n\nAnd what my mom used to do with her pimples was apply some toothpast (preferably colgate, I think) unto the pimple, and leave it there overnight. It dries out. However, the downside is you get dark spots. So if you do this one, prepare yourself with whitening cream. I suggest "magic cream" my parents use it. :] Seems to work.\n\nAnother tip I read from a magazine was that you crush an asprin and mix it with a little water to form a paste, and then smear it unto your pimple. I think you leave it there overnight as well. I've never tried this, or seen anyone try this, so I don't know if there's a downside to this.\n \nHope that helped. But you know, if you can't get rid of those pimples in time, try a concealer and such. Ask somone there. Hehe.\n\nWATCH WHAT YOU EAT!!!\n\nBut, I don't really think that this girl will dump you just because of pimples...

What are the surefire symptoms of an early HIV infection?When they come,is it in combination,as the books say?

answering honestly and openly as a person that has been HIV+ for 12 years, there are no set of symptoms that should be followed as signs of seroceonversion. And yes there is a risk of the virus being transferred to you if you are having unprotected vaginal or anal sex with an infected person.

solve this equation and give the proof(ie put back the values of x&y back in the question to get the answer)?

you're given these two equations:\n\n2x+4y=16\n8y+4x=32\n\nthe second equation can also be:\n\n8y+4x=32\n4x+8y=32\n2x+4y=16, which woah - is the same as the first equation!  in other words, the two equations are the same and, when graphed, are the same lines.  that means any point along the line is a solution.  thus, there are an infinite number of solutions.  one POSSIBLE solution is shown below:\n\n2x+4y=16\nx+2y=8, choose any "x" since this equation will work for all "x"s; say, let x=2.\n2+2y=8\n2y=6\ny=3, therefore x=2,y=3 is A solution.  plugging these back in gives you:\n\n2x+4y=16 ==> 2(2)+4(3)=16 ==> 4+12=16 ==> 16=16\n8y+4x=32 ==> 8(3)+4(2)=32 ==> 24+8=32 ==> 32=32\n\nta-da!

How big is too big of a age differance for dateing?

I think that the older we get, the smaller the age gap becomes.  Ex.  There are 8 years difference between you now.  At your age, that may seem like a lot, but when you are 30 and the other is 37, that doesn't seem so bad.  Back to an actual answer:  Do YOU think the gap is too big?  I agree that things will be different when you are 18, but if you are truely interested in the other as a person, then I think the age gap is dismissable. But that's just one person's opinion.

cooking the books means taking the actual figures and putting false ones in their place ex; say you had to make an entry for a company in the amount of 1,000.00 but you only put in 800 that would be considered cooking the books...... you can do it to either make the company look like its not making alot of money and pocketing the rest or doing it for tax purposes to evade paying so much taxes on the money made.

how would one establish the identity:  tan(3ø)=(3tanø-(tanø)^3)/(1-3(tanø)^2)?

You will need to use the formula for tan(a+b) and the formula for tan(2a).\n\nrewrite tan (3a) as (tan(2a +a))\n\nthis becomes (and I hope I can type it)\n\n[tan (2a) + tan(a)]  all over [1 - tan(2a)tan(a)]\n\nnow replace all the tan (2a)'s with 2tan(a)/(1-tan^2 a)\nand you get a huge complex fraction\n\nthe common denominator for the fractions in the complex fraction is 1 - tan^2 a.  Get this in all 4 denominators & cancel it out, leaving\n\n[2 tan(a) + tan(a) - tan^3(a)] over [1 - tan^2(a) - 2tan^2(a)]\n\nthis simplifies to [3 tan(a) - tan^3 (a)] over [1 - 3 tan^2 (a)]\n\nThe last part of your problem got chopped off; hope this is right.

Are there any religious restrictions as to whether the dead should be buried or cremated for roman catholics?

as far as I've heard, there have been consessions made recently to permit creamation. Specifically there have been prayers and services written up specifically geared towards catholic practitioners. My father is catholic and wishes to be creamated. \nI'm sure many hard core catholics, however, still frown upon this. Ask your priest if you are curious about what your specific parish does in the case of cremation.


There was a previous generation or two of mobile phones before the cellular phones we know have. Cellular phones were developed to increase the capacity of the system, since there was not enough bandwidth available to give service to everyone who might want it.\n\nIt is hard to say who first invented the mobile phone. It is a matter of definition, since it overlaps with the invention of radio, depending on how you define a phone. \nSome claim that the dentist Mahon Loomis of Virginia transmitted radio signals first in 1865. David Hughes in 1879 demonstrated what might be the first radio telephone. \n\nThere is a lot more information in the references. I am not sure where you draw the line exactly and say, THIS was the first mobile phone. \n\nWas it Bell Labs in 1924, in their first two war car radio phone? Or was it not until 1947, when commercial systems were available? Or Motorolla's Martin Cooper, who made a famous phone call on a portable cell phone to his rival  at Bell Labs in 1973?

Do you think we need more or less government funded social programs?

We need stronger control over the ones we have before we start to think about ever adding any new ones.  Government has entered into too many area's of our lives and we need to get this under control as well.  Good government does not mean controlling people through a series of government programs that set people up to fail rather than succede.  We have developed a whole set of people who have relied on the government for their support for several generations setting up a whole segment of our population that believes they have been set up to fail.  We have a society where everyone should have the same chances at success as all others do, yet part of our society has been set up for failure due to these programs.  While they are needed they should be set up to assist people rather than become a way of life.

Gemba is Japanese term meaning the place where the truth can be found. Japanese detectives call the crime scene a gemba. In quality management, gemba means the manufacturing floor and the idea is that if a problem occurs, the engineers must go there to understand the full impact of the problem using all their senses to gather and process data. Glenn Mazur introduced the term in the QFD context (QFD is a quality system for new products and so there is no manufacturing taking place yet) to mean the customer's place of business or lifestyle. The idea is that to be customer-driven, you must go to the customer's gemba to understand his problems and opportunities, using all your senses to gather and process data. Unlike focus groups and surveys, gemba visits are not scripted or bound by what we want to ask. It is only at the gemba that you learn "unknown unknowns".

Funerals, they say, are not for the dead; they are for the living. To take two extreme examples, if someone dies and the only people at the funeral are his children, they are going to wonder if he alienated all of his friends, golf buddies, co-workers, etc.\n\nIf, to go the other way, so many people show up they have to have the services in a high school gym, and 40 people line up to say a little something about how he made their lives richer, the family and close friends are going to feel like he didn't live in vain.\n\nSo, it is a combination of how close you were to the dead person, and how well you know his family. If your best friend's mother died, you might go even if you only knew her slightly.

Do you think the US was imperialist during the Spanish American War?

The US had not entered the war with the intention of gaining a colonial empire. However, at the end of the war the colonial ruler Spain was militarily crushed and the three remaining colonies (Cuba, Puerto Rico and Philippines) were in rebellion. The US felt if they did not take posession that they would be seized by European powers (a German flotilla did show up off of Manila Bay).

How am i supposed to survive a school year with teachers i can't stand?

You have to look at school as a big game.  If you play the game, you get out with few scratches.  Do what they want and remind yourself of the good times you'll have when you're out of their class.  I had a friend who made voodoo dolls and kept them in her locker, but I don't suggest that route.  :P

No. The doctrine of Karma is amoral. It perpetuates evil. Consider this. A man rapes a women, then dies having never been caught. Karma dictates that he should be reincarnated as a woman who is later raped. Great. Another rapist is created to satisfy Karma. \nNo, the Bible makes it very clear in Hebrews 9:27\n"It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment."\nAll will receive their reward. What kind of reward is up to them. Those who say they believe the Bible should not believe in Karma.


A doctor and a lawyer were attending a cocktail party when the doctor was approached by a man who asked advice on how to handle his ulcer. The doctor mumbled some medical advice, then turned to the lawyer and asked, "How do you handle the situation when you are asked for advice during a social function?"\n\n "Just send an account for such advice" replied the lawyer.\n\n On the next morning the doctor arrived at his surgery and issued the ulcer-stricken man a $50 account. That afternoon he received a $100 account from the lawyer.\n\n A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.\n\n Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98."\n\n A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150 .\n\n A new client had just come in to see a famous lawyer.\n "Can you tell me how much you charge?", said the client. \n "Of course", the lawyer replied, "I charge $200 to answer three questions!"\n "Well that's a bit steep, isn't it?"\n "Yes it is", said the lawyer, "And what's your third question?"\n\n "I'm beginning to think that my lawyer is too interested in making money."\n "Why do you say that?"\n "Listen to this from his bill: 'For waking up at night and thinking about your case: $25'."\n\n The lawyer's son wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, so he went to law school. He graduated with honors, and then went home to join his father's firm. At the end of his first day at work he rushed into his father's office, and said, "Father, father, in one day I broke the accident case that you've been working on for ten years!"\n\n His father responded: "You idiot, we could live on the funding of that case for another ten years!"\n\n A lawyer, who was talking to his son about entering college, said, "Now got into your head that you want to be a doctor instead of a lawyer?"\n\n "Well, dad," answered the son, "did you ever hear anybody get up in a crowd and shout frantically, 'Is there a lawyer in the house?' "\n\n What's the difference between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer?\n\n A bad lawyer can let a case drag out for several years. A good lawyer can make it last even longer.\n\n A Mexican bandit made a specialty of crossing the Rio Grande from time to time and robbing banks in Texas. Finally, a reward was offered for his capture, and an enterprising Texas ranger decided to track him down.\n\n After a lengthy search, he traced the bandit to his favorite cantina, snuck up behind him, put his trusty six-shooter to the bandit's head, and said, "You're under arrest. Tell me where you hid the loot or I'll blow your brains out."\n\n But the bandit didn't speak English, and the Ranger didn't speak Spanish. Fortunately, a bilingual lawyer was in the saloon and translated the Ranger's message. The terrified bandit blurted out, in Spanish, that the loot was buried under the oak tree in back of the cantina.\n\n "What did he say?" asked the Ranger.\n\n The lawyer answered, "He said 'Get lost, you turkey. You wouldn't dare shoot me.'"\n\nA lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived at the scene, the lawyer was complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW.\n\n "Officer, look what they've done to my Beeeemer!!!", he whined.\n\n

How do you get a friend back??  guy friend...?

Time will heal all wounds.  He is hurt right now.  He needs time.  Yes, it is wrong of him to ignore you, but that is his way of dealing with the issue.  Its not a good way, but its his way. It could also hurt your relationship now, with your new boyfriend, if you let it get in the way.  It is a friend of yours though, and you may need to let your boyfriend know that.  Anyone respecting boyfriend will understand.  Obviously you care, or it wouldn't be bothering you.  A true friend will come back to you.  If he is a true friend he'll be back, if not than he won't.  If you were honest with him than, you shouldn't have to take any abuse.  He may not understand what he is doing to you right now.  Understand his situation also, your not the only one who is hurting right now.  Give him some time.  Time will tell.


do you know of a search engine primarily for children called "Help Me Jimmy?"?


do you know any famous people who have ever said `bout discrimination?

Jesus is pretty famous.  When he told the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37, he was specifically stating that racism is a sin.\n\nIn the story, Jesus was explaining the commandment to "love thy neighbor" to a jewish lawyer.  Jesus described a man who had been robbed, beaten and left for dead.  The victim was ignored by priests and religious leaders and was finally helped by a Samaritan, who brought him to an inn and paid for his care.\n\nThe only person who acted like a "neighbor" was the Samaritan.  Samaritans where only half-jewish and viewed as "impure".  The jewish lawyer couldn't even say the word Samaritan.\n\nReading the story in that context, you can see that Jesus was saying racism is a sin.

Where I live the weekend was the warmest time of the week, with a high of 40 degrees F


I feel that anytime a class like that is offered you should allow your child to take it.  Any additonal free classes like that will only help in the long run.  For example; college admission; better jobs.  My daughter was introduced to several languages in our school system when she was smaller.  She is now finishing her 4th year and will receive an Advanced Diploma when she graduates from High School in 2007.(and will have 5 years of Spanish)  Most colleges look for a secondary language or require it for admission.  But clearly if your child truly does not like the class I agree that something else should be offered to those students.  (Choir, Art, Self Defense)  Maybe you could approach your local school board with these questions or start with the teachers/principals.  I really wished that I had parental and educational guidance when I was her age, to send me or even encourage me to try something new.  I would be making more money with another language today, if I had taken spanish.  Good luck.
