When and where will the next terrorist attack happen?

For the average person, isn't that a little like asking, "When is the second coming of Christ?"\n\nSeriously, though. We have stopped several would be incidents of terror over the course of the last four years. The two incidents which come immediately to mind are the Millennium Bomber in Seattle and the British Airlines hijacker a year or so back.\n\nThe Millennium Bomber was stopped by a Customs agent using profiling techniques. And that is behavoral profiling - NOT racial profiling. Customs (as well as the agency I work for) are taught to look for certain behavioral patterns that do not fit a given scenario. This is what the Customs agent did. Something didn't seem right, so she investigated further. Turns out that the guy was on the way to try to blow up the Space Needle in Seattle.\n\nThe British Airways hijacker was stopped due to specific intelligence. Although the guy got away, all British Airways flights to the United States were grounded for two or three days. To my knowledge, the suspected terrorist was planning on trying to hijack the plane and fly it into another building.\n\nBoth incidents were cases of terror attacks being planned and stopped cold in their tracks due to the multi-layered security system being built in the United States.\n\nBTW, both of these incidents are public knowledge and are detailed in reports on the web.


How can a journalist interview a manager?

Sorry, it doesn't appear your question is related to Special Education. Special Education is the provision of services to kids with disabilities. I understand, it can sometimes be difficult to select a good category for questions.\n\nYou might consider resolving this question by selecting my response as the "best answer." In that way, you can prevent others from responding. Then, you can re-ask your question in a different, more appropriate category.\n\nI hope this helps. Good luck with your question.


WHO/WHAT is "THE LEE" and what is its oreo?

The Lee  has often been confused with the mythical creature known as Big Foot but is actually just a giant human whose vast knowledge of useless information affords him the title of The Lee. It has been rumored that in the presence of The Lee one will smile and laugh for his comedic abilities, and lack of spelling. It's oreo cannot be fully disclosed as the information is top secret and classified by G4 security clearance.

my friend and her bf were hanging out at his house and then some girl came up to his apartment waved hi...?

Really why does it matter to her now. If she broke up with him for cheating then she got back with him knowing he was a cheater. Ok she got back with him after he cheated because she loves him, and now she thinks he is cheating again. Well she loves him so she should over look it again (which is what she did by taking him back in the first place). Or she can get smart and leave him, obviously he isn't going to change. What reason does he have to she accepted it by taking him back.


how  do you make a guy's sex drive higher?

Show your man a little bit of skin, not enough so that you're hanging out everywhere. Guys like something left to the imagination. Also, tell him how hot you are feeling and tell him what you wish to do to him. Good luck!

Good question! \n\nThe busier I get, and the more I feel my attention to detail slipping... the more often I take breaks. \n\nThe most effective breaks are going for a quick walk outside (moving and fresh air help a lot!). Or I just go talk to someone else for a few minutes. Or - I visit Yahoo!

A quick history (short, therefore not boring)\n\n\n\nThe Slinky has been used as a toy by millions of adults and children around the world. It was invented in 1943 by Richard James and it was first marketed in 1945. The Slinky was originally made near the Philadelphia area, but shortly thereafter it was moved to Hollidaysburg, PA where it has remained for the last 40 some years. The Slinky toy can not only be used for entertainment, but it can also be used in physics classes to demonstrate wave properties, forces, and energy states.\n\n"Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. He was trying to develop a spring that could help keep sensitive ship-board instruments steady at sea. He knocked some of these experimental springs off a shelf, and was amused by the way they "walked" down, rather than just falling." from The Learning Kingdom who sited this set of pages for their Cool Facts Award on April 8, 1997.

bibliography of san miguel beer corporation?

Best known for its internationally distributed beer, San Miguel Corporation can only be described in superlatives. It is southeast Asia's oldest and largest brewer. It also ranks as the Philippines' largest and one of its most consistently profitable companies. San Miguel's flagship beer utterly dominates the Filipino market, with a 90 percent market share. A 1988 brief in the Economist noted that Filipinos order "beer" at bars and restaurants, knowing that they will receive a San Miguel. But San Miguel did not make it to the top of the regional heap on good beer alone. It also makes agricultural feeds, processed and fresh meats, dairy products, coconut products, hard liquor, nonalcoholic beverages, and packaging products such as glass containers, corrugated cartons, aluminum cans, and metal crowns and caps. Through wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, San Miguel holds dominating market shares in several food and beverage sectors in the Philippines: 90 percent of carbonated beverages, 58 percent of powdered juice, 56 percent of hard liquor, and more than 80 percent of margarine and butter. By the early 2000s, beer and other alcoholic beverages constituted only about one-third of San Miguel's annual turnover. In fact, the conglomerate had, by 2001, grown over the course of its more than 110 years in business to generate 3.6 percent of its home country's gross domestic product and 4.5 percent of government tax revenue.\n\nSan Miguel grew to its commanding position in the southeast Asian market in spite of political upheaval, infrastructure glitches, and high taxes. It achieved its status through aggressive competitive strategies and shrewd long-range planning over the decades. Having diversified into agribusiness, foods, and packaging in the mid-20th century, the conglomerate dominated its domestic markets by the early 1980s. At that time, San Miguel undertook an aggressive program of international expansion that came to fruition in the mid-to-late 1990s.\n\nEarly History\n\nDon Enrique Ma Barretto de Ycaza established the brewery, southeast Asia's first, in 1890 as La Fabrica de Cerveza de San Miguel. He named the company after the section of Manila in which he lived and worked. He was soon joined by Don Pedro Pablo Roxas, who brought with him a German brewmaster. San Miguel's brew won its first major award at 1895's Philippines Regional Exposition, and led its imported competitors by a five-to-one margin by the turn of the 20th century. The company was incorporated in 1913 following the death of Don Pedro Roxas.\n\nBy that time, San Miguel was exporting its namesake brew to Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Guam. Andrés Soriano y Roxas joined San Miguel in 1918, beginning a multigeneration (albeit interrupted) reign of Sorianos. In 1990, San Miguel's Beer Bulletin noted that "Beer was the heart of San Miguel's business, and the soul from which emanated all its other businesses." Andrés Soriano initiated the company's diversification, which proceeded rather logically via vertical integration. The experience cultivating barley naturally evolved into other agricultural businesses, for example. San Miguel gathered steam in the 1920s, when the company expanded into nonalcoholic beverages with the creation of the Royal Soft Drinks Plant in 1922. San Miguel entered the frozen foods market in 1925 with the creation of the Magnolia Ice Cream Plant. By the early 1990s, Magnolia held four-fifths of the frozen dessert market. Soriano created the first non-U.S. national Coca-Cola bottling and distribution franchise in 1927. The Philippine company owned 70 percent of the joint venture, which grew to become Coke's sixth largest operation. By the early 1990s, San Miguel had captured over two-thirds of the domestic soft drink market.\n\nAlthough World War II interrupted San Miguel's brewing business, the company got back on the growth track in the postwar era, acquiring product


How does the body fight viral infections?

It is not the virus which causes the symptoms  it is the bodys reaction to the virus. It reacts with inflammation To kill the virus the immune system releases toxic substances such as cytokines and interferons  these cause the symptoms. It is usually not possible to tell the cause of inflammation just by looking  allergy can cause the same symptoms.\n\nBecause viruses can cause almost any symptom, they are used by doctors as an excuse for anything they cannot explain  they are an excuse for intellectual idleness!\n\nThe best defence against viral infections is a healthy body and healthy immune system. The body reacts against viruses with inflammation and the results of inflammation is either directly toxic to the virus, or helps to physically expel virus from the body.


Since Jesus celebrated Passover & not Easter, why do Christians celebrate Easter?

Christ was of the tribe of Judah and Levi, hence king and high priest.\n\nEASTER A BRIEF HISTORY\n\nThe name “Easter” comes to America from Ostera or Eostre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. The origin goes back to 2000 BC in Babylonia honoring the goddess of spring Ishtar. Ishtar the mother/wife of their god Tammuz brought him back from the underworld. In Phoenecia she became Astarte, in Greece Eostre, and in Germany Ostara. Consider also a Phrygian honoring Attis and Cybele or a heretic Israelite honoring the Canaanite Baal and Ashtoreth. All of these are fertility celebrations of death and resurrection.\n\nEASTER IN THE KING JAMES\n\nThe word “Easter” occurs in the King James Bible ONE TIME and is mistranslated. It should be translated PASSOVER.\n\nActs 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. \n\nEaster G3957 pascha (pas'-khah) Of Chaldee origin (compare [H6453]); the Passover (the meal, the day, the festival or the special sacrifices connected with it): - Easter, Passover.\n\nH6453  pesach (peh'-sakh) From H6452; a pretermission, that is, exemption; used only technically of the Jewish Passover (the festival or the victim): - passover (offering).\n\nH6452 pasach (paw-sakh') A primitive root; to hop, that is, (figuratively) skip over (or spare); by implication to hesitate; also (literally) to limp, to dance: - halt, become lame, leap, pass over.\n\nTHE ORIGINAL PASSOVER A SHADOW\n\nExo.12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. Exo.12:24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. Exo.12:25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as He hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. Exo.12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? Exo.12:27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. \n\nWhat did it say in Exo.12:26? What mean ye by this service?\n\nWhat did it say in Exo.12:27? It is the SACRIFICE of the LORD'S Passover.\n\nThis was a shadow, that is a silhouette or likeness, of Christ’s crucifixion. Israel was in bondage to the Egyptians. We were in bondage to sin.\n\nCHRIST OUR PASSOVER\n\nI Cor.5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? I Cor.5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: I Cor.5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. \n\nChrist our Passover is SACRIFICED for us.\n\nIT IS PROBABLY TRULY DISGUSTING TO FATHER \n\nAs with most Christian holidays, Easter has been secularized and commercialized. We have Easter bunnies, eggs, baskets, bonnets, parades and etc. \n\nKnowing now the origins of Easter, the fallacy of Easter and the sacrifice Christ made for us; I am truly ashamed of myself. We should not be celebrating Easter. We should be celebrating Christ our Passover with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. \n\nWhat is your answer to a child who asks, “What mean ye by this service?” I pray your answer is not Easter.\n\nWhat does God think, about what He sees and hears during this special time of year?

When did ford put the 312 motor in there ford cars?

I think the 312 "Y" block was later, maybe '58. The "Y" block type of engine first appeared as Ford's first overhead valve V-8 in '55 as a 272 and a 292. I think '63 was the last year for the "Y" block to be used. The first T-Birds had "Y" block V-8's while the first Chevrolet Corvettes('53 & '54) had a 235 cu.in. inline 6 cylinder. Chevrolet came out with a 265 cu.in. overhead valve V-8 in '55 and still uses that basic block design(different sizes) today.


An Appropriate Wedding Gift from an American visiting the Irish Couple?

I agree with the two people up there. Give them something that is useful. Most Irish/Catholic stores have great gift ideas! A horseshoe with an enscription on it would be kind of neat; or anything basically that the bride and groom could have to remember their wedding day. Practical is nice (anyone can buy a blender); but sentimental is better! But before you go to all the trouble to find a Irish/Catholic store, give yourself a bit of a break! I'm sure something that MEANS something and is from the heart, would be just as good! Goodluck! <3

What are the chances of my PDD-NOS preschooler eventually joining the mainstream?

My response to your question is a composite of my own thinking and experience, and research in the field of autism/PDD.\n\nContinuing with effective and intensive intervention programs can make a huge difference in the outcome for your daughter.    \n\nThe current thinking in the autistic community is that autism is a puzzle to which we do not yet have all the pieces.   Our children are also like the pieces of a puzzle which need to be connected together to make a fully integrated, unified child.   \n\nYOu are already using ABA to help create structure and meaning and build upon your daughter's strengths and abilities.  The highest levels of success with ABA are achieved when a child receives at least 30 hours a week of one-on-one therapy.  ABA- type therapies have been statistically shown to improve the prognosis of virtually all autistic children, so if you can increase ABA I would do it, making sure, of course, that the therapist is a very good one.  (I did not really believe in the benefits of ABA until my daughter started working with children and youth with autism.)  \n\nAdditionally speech therapy is of utmost importance - continue with as much as possible.  Prognosis is markedly better for individuals who develop some meaningful verbal language before the age of 5 years.\n\nKeep your daughter as engaged in the outside world and stimulated as much as possible during the day in activities that provide an external structure for building meaning, comprehension and organization.  Provide ample opportunities for her to use new behviors she learns in real life situations.\n\nAs you know PPD-NOS is a life-long disability.  There are no cures, and even those individuals who proclaim themselves "recovered" continue to have difficulties with subtle social processes.   The most accurate predictor of outcome is the amount of progress over a period of about 1 year from early diagnosis.  However, with advances in education, early intervention, and research, today individuals with Autism/PDD have a greatly expanded range of outcomes as adults.  Current trends, based on increased knowledge of how to educate children with Autism and the importance of early education, emphasize building skills and abilities in order to prepare young adults with Autism/PDD to work, to live in the community, and in some cases, to pursue higher education.  Outcome appears to depend on both degree of overall impairment and intensity of educational interventions.   \n\nSystematic and intensive educational programming can make a huge difference.  You will have to specifically teach your daughter many of the things other kids may learn vicariously.  But most likely she can learn many of these skills.  Unfortunately not enough is known about PDD to accurately predict yet how individual children will progress.  As your daughter gets older better prediction will be possible.\n\nBefore your child reaches school age search out the best schools to address her needs, as not all schools deal with your daughter's type of issues well.  Try to make sure when she starts school that she is placed in the highest functioning environment possible so that her skills will be enhanced.  Continue to focus strongly on the language and social issues. \n\nI am not aware of any findings that suggest biomedical interventions make a difference. \n\nIf you are in the US become very familiar with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to be sure you understand your rights and your daughter's rights.\n\nYour daughter is very fortunate that she has had such early intervention and a wealth of it.  \n\nI have included some links which you may already be aware of.  I hope these thoughts are of some help to you.  YOu sound like you are an excellent advocate for your daughter.  That will make an immense difference to her progress and her life.


What is the best marketing advice for a photographer seeking new clients.?


Like ethylene glycol, methanol is relatively non-toxic; however, it is metabolized to highly toxic compounds that are responsible for the acidosis and blindness characteristic of methanol poisoning.\n\nAs in ethylene glycol poisonings, the initial step in the metabolism of methanol involves the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) (see Figure 2). First, methanol is slowly oxidized by ADH to yield formaldehyde. Next,formaldehyde is oxidized by formaldehyde dehydrogenase to yield formic acid (or formate, depending on the pH). This oxidation occurs rapidly so that little formaldehyde accumulates in the serum. FInally, formic acid is metabolized to carbon dioxide and water, which are excreted by the kidneys and lungs.\n\nThe accumulation of formic acid is responsible for the presence of metabolic acidosis. Formic acid also inhibits cellular respiration leading to lactic acidosis. The ocular injury caused by methanol may be due to retinal injury, which results from intra-retinal metabolism of methanol and the accumulation of formic acid. Alternatively, it may be caused be the inhibition of normal metabolism in optic nerve calls (Jacobsen 1997).

What right do people think they have to say that gays are going to hell and can't be married?

Fear and prejudice, which go hand in hand.  It seems those so anti-gay are afraid of many things about it.  Most being that 80% of people have had, usually as children experimenting, a sexual liaison with someone of the same sex.  Something normal and healthy.  They are so afraid of them being classified as gay because of that it becomes a deep anger at themselves then transmitted outwards.  It's a sad thing to use an inaccurate book to back up your own fears.


What is the life span of well assembled( with standard trade mark parts) well maintained personal computer ?

This question has two answers. The lifespan of the pc (ie. how long until it breaks) and useable lifespan (ie. how long it will be worth using before you need to upgrade or replace it).\n\nNormally a PC can run for anything up to 10 years. In South Africa (where I live) many people still own Pentium I pc's. They work (still) and run Windows 98 SE. But these PC's are of no use to a reputable business because they cannot handle the workload of Windows XP or CorelDraw. \n\nSo even if a PC can be 25 years old, you probably won't want to use it after more than 3 - 5 years.

Is there a short and long birth paper assigned in Canada?

Yes, there are more than two kinds of birth certificates.  I can't even tell what is the use of the smaller because they are not accepted anywhere. But then again I'm in Quebec so it might be diffrent if you're from another province.  If you are from quebec http://www.etatcivil.gouv.qc.ca/publications/DEC-150-Birth.pdf will take you directly to the form you need to fill. Choose "birth certificate" to get the right one.


Not exactly pressure.  Tectonic plates under the Earth's crust are constantly in motion.  When they collide, mountains are formed.  These mountains become volcanoes when the tectonic plates hit each other and then move further apart, therefore creating a direct channel to the molten core of the earth.  When the molten material builds up it shoots up the hole of a volcano.

You are off to a good start, you're asking questions, getting help and ideas.\nPoshbaby24 gave good advice on any paper or project.  \nMy suggestion for the topics would be "Why is someone abstaining from sex".  A quick brainstorm came up with religious beliefs or morals "no sex before marriage", spouse absent for a long period (military personnel overseas, spouse in jail), fear of disease, carrying a disease, fear of becoming pregnant, being pregnant.  I sure you can add to this list.  \nFind three that you can relate to, have knowledge of, or find interesting and start writing.  Get everything down on paper, computer or whiteboard, organize it, revise it.  \nYou can do this.  Just start.

Protecting your offspring is a very strong natural urge. Could I kill to protect my daughters? Yes, Probably before I could kill to save my own life.\n\nElizabeth, I agree with you about the perverts. I never could understand how many pedophiles actually make it to trial. If it was my child I'd hunt them down and they should pray the cops find them first because I would not let them have a quick and easy death!!


"Although this does have a literal meaning, to threaten with a stick, we in the United States give it much more fanciful interpretations. If we say, "There are more filling stations in town than one can shake a stick at," we mean nothing more than that the town contains an abundance of places at which one may purchase gasoline for one's motorcar. That American usage dates from early in the nineteenth century. One may speculate that it arose from the play at warfare by small boys--George Washington Jones flourishing a triumphant wooden sword over the considerable number of British soldiers who surrendered at Yorktown, more, in fact, than he could wave his "stick" at. then, too, we use the expression to indicate a comparative that may express derogation, and have done so for well over a hundred years. David Crockett, in his *Tour to the North and Down East* (1835) wrote of one place at which he stayed, "This was a temperance house, and there was nothing to treat a friend to that was worth shaking a stick at."

Twinning isn't that rare in humans, its now something like 30% per 1,000 births. Recent research has suggested that a genetic predisposition may exist but the exact cause for the splitting of a zygote or embryo is still unknown.

My 7 year old son is afraid of clowns. What kind of phobia is this?

Clown-o-phobia. Only kidding.\n\nIt's a pretty rational fear, though, if you think about it. You can't see what's under all the face paint, and I'm sure that quite a few other seven-year-olds are afraid of clowns, too.

Divorce. Read yesterday in a newspaper that more divorces occured within the Bible?

I do not know about that but here in Tennessee (buckle of the so called Bible belt) there are a lot more alcoholics and meth users.  We are right on top of the list of states with the most children removed from homes after being seriously burnt in meth lab fires and explosions and chemically harmed from the fumes.\n\nEven the normal good families around here are strange.  We are number one giving our kids stuff to zone them out so the teachers at school can have a quite peaceful day and the kids will sit still and stay dopey!  Bible Belt?  Maybe the Bible is getting a bad rap from that area known as the Bible belt!

There would be a law in Indonesia about anti-pornography and pornoaction. Should we against it? Or approve it?

Be Wise..\nThere is so many people or organizations that agreeing or disagreeing this political issue. In Indonesia, these problem is being sensitive. One side, the religious party always said that it would save and respect the women's honor, but in other side, the liberal party said that anti-porographic and pornoaction law just only make women rights are limited.\n\nIt is up to you to against or approve it. But, before you decide it, please have a deep thinks about this: Women is the pillar of a nation, if the women of a nation are nasty, you can imagine how the nation would be.\n\nOnce again, Be Wise


Are there any people out there in the Fort Worth, TX area who are bipolar?

What is the setting aside of a verdict becuase of misconduct of jurors?

It means one (or more) members of the jury were caught doing something improper (like discussing the trial, taking bribe, etc), so basically the verdict is void.\n************************************************************\nI believe the word you are looking for is\nIMPEACHMENT


contrary to what has been mostly said about us "men are men" or even jerks at times...most of the time? just like women...men are different from each other...we have our differences too. most of us like women, some like men. most of us like women for many different reasons, just like you  like different men for many different reasons as well.\nsome are better than others in a lot of unique ways and some are just as simple as they could be and still be a perfect catch! we usually find it sexier when a woman knows when and how to speak her mind, and shows initiative and respect to others rather than be conceited about herself, when she knows and shares a guys feelings and other preferences, she shows more of the understanding side and never is too selfish to disagree or even divert his thoughts to what she wants. all of which is totally different from nagging, which none of us really enjoy. ever seen or heard a guy nag? hehe...anyways, the bottom line is...its not always the hot bod or the sexy curves that makes any woman attractive or even sexy but the brains and personality still prevail...most specially in a real man's view.

Keeping a spearate notebook for each group I teach. In the notebook I write the date, then all the things that come up in the class. If something comes up I don't want to explain that day, I make a note for myself on the following page. End each entry with a note about how far you got, and circle the things you know will need to be practiced more in upcoming sessions. Informal quiz and test scores can get recorded in the entry. It's also a good place to jot down things you learn about your students, so you remember later and can mention it again if it comes up (makes them feel good, too!). Without my notebook, really a knid of "active diary", I'd be lost.


Why would anyone have labiaplasty? I don't understand the logic.?

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that will reduce and/or reshape the labia minora - the skin that covers the female clitoris and vaginal opening. In some instances, women with large labia can experience pain during intercourse, or feel discomfort during everyday activities or when wearing tight-fitting clothing. Others may feel unattractive, or wish to enhance their sexual experiences by removing some of the skin that covers the clitoris. The purpose of a labiaplasty is to better define the inner labia. During this procedure the urethral opening can be redefined, and if necessary improvements to the vagina may be made. The problem can be caused by genetics, sexual intercourse or difficulties in childbirth.


If ever they face in the playoffs, does the Lakers have a chance against the Clippers?

No, they are accurate.  Sorry, even back then 9 was still to young to have sex and 6 was WAY too young to get married.  I am thinking the age was 11 or 12 to be considered an adult and be married.

Does Glaucoma have anything to do with glasses?

It doesn't only occur in diabetics.  *I* have glaucoma.  My mother was diabetic and did not.  My father was not diabetic, but he and 2 or his 3 siblings also had it.  It is or can be inherited.  If caught early enough and treated, many people have no obvious problems.  It has nothing to do with glasses.  My father died at 81 and never wore glasses.\n\nGlaucoma is a build up of fluid that causes the pressure in the eyes to rise.  In most cases, it is treated with drops.  I just recently started Lumigan.  In extreme cases, an ophthalmologist might recommend surgery to relieve the pressure.  The pressure in my eyes is about twice what it should be.  It scares the hell out of me, but I'm being optimistic.\n\nIf you suspect a problem, see an ophthalmologist, NOT and optometrist or optician.  They are not qualified in this matter.  Be sure to see a doctor who can administer a Visual Field screening.  This is to track vision loss.  (As the pressure builds, a person with glaucoma usually loses peripheral vision.)\n\nI hope this helps.

Good job on the additional comment you made - getting out of your comfort zone. I absolutely encourage you to continue that. However, a water park really requires something that you will be comfortable in, and certain that you won't lose it. If it's a two piece that's pretty sturdy, then go for it. If it ties or is even the slightest bit loose, top or bottom, go shopping for another suit. Why spend the day worrying about your clothes, when you're supposed to be having fun? Either way, take something to cover up with. And wear sunscreen. Lots and lots of sunscreen. (I just got fried on my vacation, so it's really fresh in my mind.)

How do you get ready for school in 30 minutes or less?

To start off, make sure the clothes you want to wear for the next day are laid out.  Also make sure your books, etc. for school are on a table near the door and all together.  My son has a routine.  He gets up and dressed, eats his breakfast, then goes to the bathroom to finish getting ready (hair, teeth, etc).  He's ready to walk out the door in less then 30 minutes.  If you are fixing something for breakfast that has to be cooked, start it and while it is cooking, fix your hair, wash your face, do whatever you can while waiting.  I hope this helps.  Also, it may help to take a shower the night before instead of waiting until the morning

First... What are you obsessed about? What's making you depressed? Is it material or mental? Are you afraid of failing? Are you shy or confused about what your next move should be? Are you overwhelmed by the pace of life? \n\nWrite down all of your fears and anxieties (even the things you dislike and hate). This will make your thoughts tangible and concrete. After you've created that list. Get advice on how you should TRY to resolve each "problem". Some of those things won't be a big deal at all once you see it written down on paper. Do it step-by-step - one at a time. Don't make a stew out of it - that'll only create a whole lot of WORK you won't wanna do. It'll be too much to handle! \n\nWork on these issues one at time (if they're related - work on two at the most) with a good friend, an Internet Buddy, or whoever and work on them a little at a time. Learn to make sacrifices. Life is full of risk and we are all taking chances everyday whether we're driving, shopping, or sitting at home. Anything can happen or jump-off in a split second. This is reality. You can't let your fears control you or how you live. They have to help you make good decisions and useful choices so that you can grow and succeed and move forward in life. \n\nDon't feel bad for your current situation if it sucks - This is a learning and growing experience. Be angry. Be Motivated! Learn how to change it little by little. It make take a year or so for you get where you want to be but you're gonna have to work at it. Start right now. Make a change in your life. Change yourself. Change the way you think. Change the way you have been doing things. Change your attitude. And MOVE FORWARD.\n\nAnother thing.\n\nIf there are people in you life who are dictating your actions, you have to learn to be more assertive. Speak your mind. Don't be afraid to say what you like and what you don't like. Don't be afraid to make your own POSITIVE choices. And don't be afraid to leave people alone who drag you down. Make some sacrifices. Sacrifices hurt but if you live right (and take some risks), the blessings are much more rewarding.\n\nLove yourself first because if there is no YOU, how can YOU love anyone else? \n\nMake that list and come back.

haw we can discover regenerative chatter?

Stick-slip phenomena are a good source. Often stiction (the stopped friction force) is greater than moving friction. If a cart with stiction is pushed by a spring-connected object moving at constant speed, the result will be alternate stoping and moving. Brake squeal, creaking noises and tool chatter are all manifestations of stick-slip.\nEDIT:\nMachine tool chatter starts with stick-slip but rapidly increases in amplitude, bringing in tool and workpiece structural flexibility, and gouges made in the workpiece surface, as part of the dynamics. The process is not considered regenerative until the surface marks become a factor (ref.).

Iwant to give my child a quitclaim over our only property after my divorce and avoid any jugdmen its safe?

you can also set up a trust with your child as beneficiary and you as the administrator.


Our priority's need to be on the home again. Not money. Parents need to be accountable for the behaviors their children demonistrate. Train them, raise them up in the way you want them to go. We all need to stop being so materilistic, and then surprised when our children act out. They are ashmed of their parents and their behaviors. So they rebel.\n\nOpen a dialog with your kids..... it is us aginest them not kids aginst their family.


I graduated from college in social service, since I cant find a job all I do I just cant, what would u do?

Going to school is always a good alternative to unemployment, but think carefully whether psychology is what you ultimately want as a career.  You may end up further constraining your career choices.\n\nConsider your degree in social service, can you do anything else with it?  You are not bound to become a social worker, there are other opportunities you may be qualified to pursue.\n\nHave you tried attending career fairs for the social service field?  Conferences for social service professionals?  You can find information about these events in industry journals or trade magazines, and they should be available through your school library or your local public library.  Network at these events and you can get your foot in the door to potential employers.  Good luck!


where can i get information on what a personal support worker does to help a patient who had a heart attack?


Kobe, cmon has Carter done good by himself. Lets take it back 2 years Carter was no good. Raptors were terrible. He was averaging like 15 points a game. But he made the all star team every year because he did that one dunk contest. He is doing good on the nets and is playing like an all star. But he has Jason Kidd who makes players beter like Kenyon Martin who is terrible now. \n\n      Even with Jason Kidd, Kobe is way better than Carter. He has no one to pass to hats why he is a ball hog.n Look at him in the all stars he trusted players because of there talent and passed. Although selfish he is a good leader he knows what to do at the end of a game. \n\n        Both are to great players and athletes but Kobe is better than VC


What is the Galois group of x^5 + x + 1 over Q?

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GaloisGroup.html\n\nI'm not sure if I can give you the exact answer since I'm trying to understand it myself.  \nWhat you want is the Galois group of Q(r1, r2, r3, r4, r5) over Q where the ri are the roots to the polynomial x^5 + x + 1.  This group is going to be a subgroup of the group of permutations on 5, but I don't know if I can say anything else about it since x^5 + x + 1 is an irreducible polynomial in Q.  \nHope this helps.


Was killing Jesus justified by Gods law?

Yes, too many Christians today resemble those hypocrites. They have all these little traditions and clicks instead of spreading love and goodwill like Jesus did. That’s why I stay away from Church and those places. Those people scare me...They don't know the real GOD, they just use Gods word to judge others. Think about this...Hitler believed that the bible justified what he did. Really...Judgment is not to be done by us.

What reclying options  available for clothing?  Looking to get rid of bulk clothing, but doesnt fill a trailer

Goodwill, St. Vincent de Paul's, and other non-profits will accept donations of clothes, shoes and household items.\n\nSuch not-for-profits sell some of the clothes in "thrift stores" to make money for their charitable programs, and also in turn donate some of the clothes to shelters, schools and other non-profit programs.\n\nIf you have women's / children's clothes in decent condition you can donate it to your local battered women's shelters.  It might be easier to just bring it all at once to Goodwill though.\n\nIf you want to make a small profit, you can sort thru it and bring the better stuff / brand name /black clothing to second hand stores - some stores buy it outright, some will give you vouchers for their store, and some will sell it on consignment.\n\nHope that helps.


People that can sing--sing. (Paul McCartney, Celine Dion, Frank Sinatra etc...etc...etc...)\n\nPeople that can play an instrument--play an instrument. (Carlos Santana, George Gershwin, Alicia Keys etc...etc...etc...)\n\nPeople that cannot do either--rap.\n\nI hate rap and I think it has played perhaps the biggest part in the decline of good manners, elevated language, the demeaning of women, and the glorification of a lawless society than any other contributing factor in the past thirty years.  I have taught high school aged students for twenty years and I have seen a general decline in the quality of language used around campus and I attribute this primarily to students constantly listening to foul-mouthed rappers who use the F--- word as if it were acceptable.  Motherf-----, GD, SOB, AH, and every other illiterate, base, form of barbaric communication one can imagine.  Rap has absolutely NOTHING redeeming about it.  It engenders hatred, violence, selfishness, materialism, sexism, stereotypes, lawlessness, and apathy towards that is good and wholesome in the world.  When I'm flipping channels and I accidentally hit MTV or MTV2 at the time when a rap or hip hop video is on it I can actually feel myself getting more and more stupid if chance to watch it.


does anyone know of any dependable and affordable health insurance for  young adults?

There are many companies out there who specialize in affordable health insurance. Mega Life, Midwest and United American Insurance all offer affordable policies. These policies do not offer comprehensive coverage that you would find in group policies instead they offer a specified benefit amount thereby making them more affordable. Ask the agent when the last rate increase was, and what the deductibles are to make sure you get the best plan for you.


Use the Superposition theorem to determine the stated unknowns....?

Hi! You haven't mentioned which of the resistances are in series or parallel. Too bad we can't provide images in Yahoo! Answers.\n:(\n\nDo this: Remove V2 and V3 from the circuit, and replace them by a simple wire. Then find the equivalent resistance of the circuit taking V1 as the battery source. Then find the voltage drops across each of the resistances R1, R2, R3, R4 (you can do this by finding current through them using simple Ohm's Law and then multiplying by the R value).\n\nTAKE CARE that you note the DIRECTIONS of the voltage drops. The direction of voltage drop across R is the direction of current through R. So you must see if its positive or negative.\n\nOnce you have done this, repeat the procedure by removing V1, V3 and taking only V2 in circuit. This time, again specifically note the direction (+ or -). Then do it with V3.\n\nFinally, add the drops across each R, and this is when you use the signs (directions) of the voltage drops. For instance (just an EXAMPLE. You will get diff. values), if you get VR1 with V1 battery as -6V, with V2 as 4V, and with V3 as -2V, then VR1 will be:\n\nVR1 = (-6)+(4)+(-2) volts = -4 volts\n\nYou can use the same procedure to compute IR1: find current each time with V1, V2, V3 resp.\n\nHope this helps!


What level or position do you have to hold in a hospital in order to get sent to medical conferences?

I guess it depends on exactly what kind of conferences you are talking about..\n\nHealthcare policy conferences are attended by administrative staff and top physicians (heads of departments/divisions).\n\nUsually conferences on clinical care are attended by resident and attending MDs, though nurses may also be able to go. Hospitals often sponsor programs to encourage attendance at these, and you can apply for scholarships withthe conference itself.\n\nMedical research conferences are open to basically anyone, but the hospital will only foot the bill for research professors and their postdocs and fellows. Travel award fellowships are often available for minority and underfunded institutions.

what is the best way to learn good English?

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!\n\nSpeak without Fear \n\nThe biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. \n\nUse all of your Resources \n\nEven if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. \n\nSurround Yourself with English \n\nThe absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” . \n\nListen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible \n\nThere are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. \n\nWatch English Films and Television \n\nThis is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. \n\nListen to English Music \n\nMusic can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine. \n\nStudy As Often As Possible!\n\nOnly by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. \n\nDo Exercises and Take Tests\n\nMany people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English. \n\nRecord Yourself \n\nNobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much. \n\nListen to English \n\nBy this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs i


where can i get free info on grants for single mothers?

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\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.

On "BUSH'S WATCH" how did he miss 20 Million ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS coming through Arizona with his Patriot Act?

Reagan started Amnesty for Mexicans. It has just gone out of control under Bush. \n\n"But he said Mexicans also remember Reagan fondly for backing a massive financial bailout of Mexico in 1982, and for pressing immigration legislation in 1986 that granted amnesty in the United States to 3 million Mexican immigrants.\n\n\nIt has been a belief that it is in the US's best interest to boost the Mexican economy. Bush knows exactlly what he is doing. Those immigrants pump millions into the Mexican economy.

Are there  hundreds of scientific miracles in the Quran, like  embryo stages mentioned since 1400 years?

Keep one thing in mind, the Qur'an was revealed at a time and place where there were many many arrogant and ignorant people.\nIF you tried to exaplain to them about bacteria, do you really think they would understand??? They were so ignorant, that they would bury their daughters. DO you think they would understand how a fetus is formed in details (the way the non muslims want it to be explained). No, they would not have understood.\n\nWhen they Prophet came, he taught the people in their own understanding. He stopped idolatory, the buryign of daughters.\nHe taught them how to respect life. When his daughter entered the room, he would stand up to show respect.\n\ntherefore, the verse was revealed for the people to understand. The mere fact that the Qur'an explains the stages of the development of the embryo which is now proved, is a miracle.\nHad the verse explained every little detail, do you really think the people would understand???\n\nYusufali 75:36] Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?\n[Yusufali 75:37] Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?\n\n...... a drop... of sperm. Not the whole semen.\n\nAnother miracle.\nChapt 55, verse 37.\nWhat happended to to the cats eye Nebula when it exploded and what did it look like??\nIt is there in the Qur'an... "When the sky is torn apart, so it was (like) a red rose, like ointment.."\n\nExactly like it sounds. Visit the NASA website and look for your self.


I had a baby six months ago, I am 5'6" and I currently weight 150lbs. Can anyone tell me how to loss 10Ibs?

Well those other answers are great. What worked for me was using some apple cider vinegar pills. They helped speed up my metabolism. I got the pills at my local Walgreens. They cost about $10. I love them. I lose about 2 pounds a week. I don't do a lot of excercise either. I stretch everyday and run once in a while. They worked for me. If you do try them I hope they work for you.

How do I amplify a 6KB or greater fragment of genomic DNA using PCR?

You have to identify two sequences that are >6kb apart from one another that flank the sequence you are attempting to amplify. Better yet, you can get you a well understood cloning vector (plasmid) that already has primers develped for it that flank the polyrestriction site region (ie. puc19 [see link below], find the needed restriction enzyme sites that flank your desired 6kb sequence and clone the DNA into the vector. Be sure to check your sequence for any internal restriction sites. This may require you to do a partial digestion and recovery.

Whole powdered eggs are made in a spray dryer much in the same way that powdered milk is made. The finished product is a free flowing powder that reconstitutes into a product similar to fresh whipped eggs. Powdered eggs are versatile. They can be added with the dry ingredients when baking and act exactly like the 'real thing' would act in the recipe. This is because they are the 'real thing.' Whole egg powder has been successfully used to make mayonnaise. It thickens rice pudding just like fresh eggs, can be used to make omelets and scrambled eggs, and can even be used in making eggnog.\n        There are a couple of real advantages of powdered eggs over fresh eggs. The fact powdered eggs are a non-perishable food when stored in an airtight container is their greatest advantage. Stored in the absence of oxygen and placed in a cool storage environment gives powdered eggs a storage life of 5 to 10 years. Powdered eggs are a heaven-send to mixes. With the egg powder already in the mix, that’s one less ingredient you’ll need when making up your mix. Price is another nice advantage. Fresh eggs cost anywhere from $1.20 to $1.80 a dozen. In a #10 can the price is comparable. However, purchased in our 50 lb box, you can repackage them yourself for a cost of about 86 cents a dozen. Freeing up room in your refrigerator, a can of powdered eggs requires no refrigeration and stores for months on a counter in your pantry. There’s a couple of more advantages. You never have to worry about dropping and breaking a dehydrated egg. And dehydrated eggs store in a much smaller space. A dozen fresh eggs take up about 122 cubic inches in their carton. When the eggs are powdered, this is reduced to less than 22 cubic inches per dozen powdered eggs.\n        Our powdered egg whites contain just the white of the egg and work just as well in your recipes as egg whites you’ve separated yourself. But there’s a huge advantage as you don’t have to go through the tedious process of separating the yoke from the white yourself nor do you have to find an alternate use for those yokes that are left over. Our egg white powder is a lot less messy than separating fresh eggs which makes them a great time saver. They are perfect for whipping into a meringue. In fact, another name for them is meringue power. We feel sure you’ll be more than satisfied with this product.\n        Our egg mix is mostly whole egg powder with a bit of powdered milk and vegetable oil which has been perfectly blended into the powder. The egg mix has been formulated to make scrambled eggs, omelets or French toast. We think you’ll find our egg mix a labor-saving food. It is especially well suited for camping trips and other outings.


first of all, buy better shoes. Second, take an anti-inflammatory ALL THE TIME. Just taking it when it hurts does not help the problem. Third, quit running and start walking for exercise. Shortening your stride will also help. You can strengthen those muscles by doing 30 toe-raises a day. Without the support of a wall, go from flat footed to up on your toes 30 times each day. Do so fairly slowly and let yourself back down JUST as slowly.

homestate of every 43 presidents of the united states?


Unfortunately, by the nature in which it affects the central nervous system, MS can present in any way it wants.  Its most common presentation involves blurry vision and sensory changes, but a variety of pain syndromes can be present as well.  Recent study found up to 43% of patients with MS have some form of pain.  Hip pain was not specifically mentioned in the study, but back pain was and one can certainly imagine MS causing hip pain as well.  The important thing, though, would be to absolutely make sure that there is nothing wrong with the hip (fracture, infection, etc).  Your doctor could help you with that.

Is Tyler a girls name or a boys name?  what do you think of Aayla?

Tyler is definetly a boys name.  It's a pretty good name for a boy, because while he's still little you can call him Ty, and then when he gets older and grows out of it he'll have a good "big" name he can go by.  I don't really like Aayla, I prefer Kayla, but with the right kid it could be cute.  Good luck!


how to deal with high maintainance women?


It's really a matter of the confidence of the people in our system.  Since our currency is fiat money, that means there's no gold or anything backing our money, it's only worth what people believe it to be worth.  As long as people have confidence in the system it will continue to work.  If people give up and lose faith in the system, it could theoretically collapse.  Personally I don't think it will.  That said, the advice you mentioned is good.  Those investments tend to be less affected by market forces.


If Jesus Christ had been a woman, would things be different or the same today?

She would have been ignored by the people and never rose to fame. Women were considered unclean and could not even eat with men. They were chattel. Nobody would take a female mystic serious in Israel. She would have done better to flee to some other land where women had a chance to thrive. Maybe Greece. Maybe Africa where there were queens like Sheba and Nefertiti and a history of women in power or being holy.\nIF she was born in Israel she would have been told to shut up and get married and start popping out babies.\nEven Jesus had to leave from ages 13-26 to be taken seriously when he returned as "no man is a prophet in his own land" You gotta be from somewhere else strange to impress. jesus was educated in India at the university of benares. it is the longest running school in the world and is still teaching. He came home and started teaching all this strange new lore of love and forgiveness and meditation and started up with desciples etc and made big waves for being wierd, we all know what eventually happened to him. After he was murdered for political reasons his followers started up a religion in his name and it got all twisted. the love and forgiveness part was all forgotten.\nHe was a notable guru but not appreciated by the swine he tried to teach. A woman would have had even worse luck that jesus. She wold be forgotten entirely as none would have set up a religion after she died.


yes, because i could understand if she had trust issues because of past things. alot of ppl do. and if he really loved her then he should be able to forgive her. they just need to sit down and have a real conversation on this matter. she needs to explain why she has trust issuses and tell him it is not him. but things in the past. he doesnt forgive her hes not worth it. (vote me best answer plz)

How to implement doubly linked list ? Code appreciated?

Think of a "doubly linked" list as a line of children holding hands on the playground.  (A circular list would have them all holding hands in a circle.)  All children would be holding the hand to a person on either side of them, with the exception of the two children at either end of the line have only one hand held.  (No hands held in the case of only one child.)\n\nNow, create a data structure that represents the child, and two pointers (which represent the hands of that child) that point to two other children.  (This can be a C structure or C++ class, your choice depending upon the assignment.)\n\nstruct Child\n{\n   Child* NextChild;\n   Child* PreviousChild;\n   char* MyName;\n};\n\nThe 'NextChild' and 'PreviousChild' members are 'pointers' to potential children (they represent the hands that are holding) that will be added to the list.  When you create one initial child, you will set these pointers to NULL, since the child is by himself.  The "MyName" member serves only to show the arbitrary data that is held by the list node.\n\nSo, the code for the initial child (in C) would be:\n\nChild* currentChild = (Child*)malloc(sizeof(Child));\n\ncurrentChild->NextChild = NULL;\ncurrentChild->PreviousChild = NULL;\n\nWe will assume that as we add new children, they will hold the hand of the starting child and add to the end of the list.\n\noldChild = currentChild;\ncurrentChild->NextChild = (Child*)(malloc(sizeof(Child)));\ncurrentChild = currentChild->NextChild;\n\ncurrentChild->NextChild = NULL;\ncurrentChild->PreviousChild = oldChild;\n\nThe "oldChild" is used to save the pointer to the current child, so that it could use it to set the "previous" child on the new child that is added to the line.  This is basically tell the new child that he is holding the hand of the child before him.  When the next child is added, his other hand will be filled with the new 'next child', then the next child will be hold the hand of the "previous" child, etc.\n\nNow, that will create the list for you.  To implement inserting items (i.e. moving children around the line, consider saving the "NextChild" and "PreviousChild" pointers, then setting them appropriately to disconnect them from existing children in the line and reconnecting them elsewhere.\n\nIf you use the "children holding hands" metaphor and treat their hands as the 'pointers', it will be easy to see how you can manipulate the doubly linked list.

Wormholes can probably exist and are around us all the time.  The only problem is that they are very, very, very small.  They exist only on a quantum level, and could theoretically be seen if you could look a things on a quantum level.  If you could look look at things on this level then you would observe what is called "quantum foam".  It is in this that you would see wormholes.  One problem though, is that these wormholes, once they appear, would close up and disappear again very quickly.  \n\nAgain, theoretically, you could hold one of these open, IF you had a strong and dense enough material.  But this material would have to be more dense than anything that anyone knows about.\n\nJust as a side note - blackholes cannot be wormholes.  Blackholes are a different phenomena to wormholes.  A wormhole is a traversable bridge between two areas of space.  A blackhole is a supermassive star that has collapsed back in on itself, creating so much gravity that not even light can escape.  Plus, the singularity of the blackhole is protected by an "event-horizon", which if anything fell it will be lost forever.

Most of my interests revolve around my family and homeschooling. I love to design fun units of study for us all to do together - especially hands on science units. One of my favorites has been the summer we spent learning about stream life and care with the creek that runs through our property. We did daily observations of tadpole development and crayfish behavior. We did daily chemical analysis of the creek water and our indoor observation tank water and plotted the data for longterm trends. We dissected crayfish to understand their internal systems - not ones from our creek but prepared ones ordered from a lab. It really helped us to understand some of the crayfish behaviors. We learned about scuds, minnows, toebiters, boatmen, mosquito larvae, frogs, water snakes, snapping turtles, and much more. We have also had fun learning about the symbolism of the Jewish festivals and how everything points to Christ. Oh and the customs of New Testament weddings is quite interesting when you discover the parallels between it and the Second Coming of Christ. We have built a Tabernacle model while learning about the 40 years the Jews wandered in the desert. Every bit of its design points to Christ. My husband and the kids really had a ball with the construction - wood and plasticine model making. Our 2 week density study was wonderful, waterfilled fun! Right now I am gearing up for our summer plant biology study. We have already gotten some seeds planted in out little greenhouse amd are hovering over them daily waiting to see the first hints of growth. I love homeschooling and am so glad to have all these memories to treasure for the rest of my life!\n\nWe all love computer and internet activities. My oldest son, now 18, builds and repairs them. My 11 year old used his birthday money to buy a years worth of server space so his website has enough room to handle the game mod he and his friends from across the country are making together. My daughter stays busy with her forum and computer artwork. I have several forums, a blog, and stay busy with computer projects of all kinds. I just learned how to use PaintShop Pro 8 and Animation Shop 3 in my portrait work. Here lately, I have been hanging out here at Yahoo Answers.\n\nI am into watercolor and pencil portraiture. I used to run a portraiture business, but I have let it go until after the kids graduate from homeschooling and I have more time to devote to it from a business perspective. Until then I am enjoying painting portraits of the kids and doing a few portraits for friends.\n\nWe all love music. Our favorite CD is Joanna's Looking Into Light. Be Thou My Vision brings tears to my eyes every time.

Why is the thirteenth of every month considered unlucky?

It is only the 13th day of the month that falls on a Friday, the arrest of Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and 60 of his senior knights on Friday, October 13, 1307 by King Philip IV of France is the origin of this superstition. That day thousands of Templars were arrested and subsequently tortured. They then 'confessed' and were executed. From that day on, Friday the 13th was considered by followers of the Templars as an evil and unlucky day.

Does anyone know  how mental illnesses work genetically?

I work with Adults with mental illness. I am also raising 2 of my siblings with it. My father on the other hand is a schizo. I am not and neither are any of my siblings. Though they do have Bi-polar, Mild mental retardation, add, adhd. I told my doctor this before my husband and I first started to try and she told me to take a high dose of Folic Acid. I am 9 weeks pregnant. I feel fine about the decision. \nSchizophrenia can be heridiry. You will not see signs of it until the teenage years. Those of them with it that show signs in the teenage years have a better chance of responding to treatment than those that show symptoms in the 20's.


As a biologist I must weigh in.\n\nThe terminology and methodology of you stance is a bit off.   As we populate and compete for resources that are scarce, there will be increased competition. Problem is that the way the world works, that has little bearing on the real world. In Africa kids starve daily. In America kids are obese. There is no natural selection taking place.  As the population expands, there will be groups of HAVEs and groups of HAVE NOTS. But the HAVES will have few external influences on their mating.\n\nHomesexuality has been around a long time. It is seen in animals, and people. Throughout history at times it was commonplace and accpeted. Regardless of what you may read, no one can say for sure the causes of homsexuality. It is probably a complex set of genetic variations, behaviors and experiences. It could be genetic, as some familes have high incidences of homosexual members, but it is probably more spontaneous.  \n\nAs an aside, it is patently FALSE that states which have gay unions have a falling birth rate. You quote the need for references, put your money where yuor mouth is. Lets look at those few states and look at the birth rates and all the variables and see the true facts.\n\nback to the question. No, as a species we are not evolving towards gay. If population is a true evoluntionary problem, people will become less fertile, as many animal models ahve shown. Numerous species where competition is tough have fewer young and would be less likly to produce offspring regularly. That is how mother nature operates.\n\nif anything, the evolutionof our species will ultimately end in parthogensis where women can self fertilize making males obsolete. If we were to model the human species against animals we would see similarities in population dynamics and this could be the future in MANY thousands of centuries.


Lets see Jewish Holidays, bible gives us three Passover (when the jews left egypt) Suckot ( is actualy a holiday of thanksgiving specificly for providing for us in the desert) and Shavuot (when god gave us the torah-bible the lifeblood of the jewish people). than we have hanukah and purim which celebrate various victories against physical and spiritual adviseries. there are also the high holidays the day of judgment and the day of attonement where god looks over the actions of the world and grants life wealth health and peace accordingly.


why is it so hard to get someone to like you?

Cause to get someone to like you, you must have something that the person like.\n\nExample you got brain, maybe just maybe he/she will like you. Or you got talent that the person like, and wallah maybe he/she will like you.\n\nAnyway, conquer something you are mastering so deep and be someone. He/she maybe not like you but than again you'll never know.

Yes, you should be concerned.   .....It does not matter how much she exercises, her body itself STILL will not produce sufficient insulin.\n\nI had an older brother who was diagnosed with diabetes at 11, and he died just after his 38th birthday.   .....He tried very hard to keep his blood sugar at proper levels, and very, very rarely strayed from his diet.  \n\nDiabetics who have been told to watch their diet & blood sugar levels and who do NOT take efforts to keep their bodies in good health know they are killing themselves.     .....If I didn't know better, I'd suspect your friend has some serious issues she isn't dealing with.\n\nBest of everything!

Should children have friends of the opposite sex?

children should play with kids of the opposite sex. it's where they begin their socialization skills. if they never interact then how are they supposed to know how to behave around them. i think children need a variety of people, races and the other sex around them. gives them balance. teaches them tolerance. the more diverse their surroundings, the more easily they adapt to their environment! hope that helps. just my opinion. :)


should i be angry with my girl best friend if she sprayed me a women's cologne???
