Jade,\n\nI'll tackle the second part of your question, since the first part has already been addressed with several different choices. \n\nYou can also find out more right here on Y!Answers by doing a search for "Janka scale" because several questions have addressed wood hardness in various ways.\n\nNow for the "why don't they use it for building?"\n\nOpinion only, but I think the simple answer is cost. A secondary answer would be the difficulty of working with it.\n\nWe're talking about woods that are roughly three times harder than oak. Wood from trees that do not grow very large in girth. A 12" tree, quarter sawn, would at best produce only a few boards. Those boards would break or wear out the standard tools that a carpenter works with very quickly.\n\nAll woods are being used less in construction except for decorative elements. In the US, which still depends on on-site stick & nail construction more than Europe, wooden elements are being replaced with wood composites and other materials that replace the traditional beams, studs and flooring. Cost, availability (at a reasonable price), and the ability to be easily worked with.\n\nLook in new home construction. Basement -- wood composite I-beams. Living area -- drywall on steel studs, "hardwood" floors that are a composite wood base with a thin laminate and a coat of plastic over it.\n\nNow where they have "real" wood, it's featured! Mantles, moldings, trim, architectural elements -- and it raises the price of the house.\n\nWe're not short of trees. We're short of *old-growth* trees. Trees are farmed now, and the trees of choice are fast-growing softwoods. \n\nWhere there are hardwoods, the furniture makers and musical instrument makers are willing to bid more for them than the construction industry.\n\nHope that helps with the second part of your question.


No. I think anything is possible with God.


what factors turn of the enzyme beta-galactosidase?

If we're talking about bacteria, this sounds like the lac operon.  The absence of lactose causes a repressor protein to halt production of beta-galactosidase.  When lactose is present, the machinery to produce beta-galactosidase is released from repression.  This makes sense, since the presence of lactose dictates the need for catabolic enzymes to metabolize the lactose.\n\nSearch for information on the lac operon for plenty of information, it's a very well-elucidated mechanism.

Can I claim my son's after school tennis lessons as part of the Federal Dependent Care Allowance?

Dependent care is classified as a care giver or day care situation. Tennis lessons are not relevant to the care that is provided to the dependent.\n\nNot to mention you have to provide the Taxpayer ID number of the caregiver each and every time you make a claim.\n\nEligible expenses\n\nThe following expenses are eligible for reimbursement under a Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account:\n\nExpenses for a day care center, summer day camp or preschool. The facility must be licensed under state or local law if it cares for seven or more children. \nExpenses for an unlicensed day care center that cares for six or fewer children. \nExpenses at an adult day care facility (but not expenses for overnight, nursing home facilities). \nThe cost of day care and housekeeping services in your home for your child or other qualifying individual. \nThe cost of meals, lunches and snacks, supplied by a day care provider (not the cost of meals while on field trips and outings or those meals included as part of the cost of such trips). \nBack to top\n\nIneligible expenses\n\nThe following expenses are not eligible for reimbursement under a Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account:\n\nDay care for a child age 13 or older \nOvernight summer camp (cannot prorate for the day portion) \nKindergarten or school tuition for a child age 5 and older \nExpenses for any care provided to a qualifying dependent by another dependent or child under age 19 \nHousekeeping expenses not related to dependent day care \nThe expenses for which you claim a dependent day care tax credit on your federal income tax return \nThe registration fees paid for day care, summer camp, kindergarten, preschool, etc. The only exception is day camp or registration fees applied toward the first payable bill. These are eligible once the initial bill has been paid and the service has been provided. \nThe cost of meals while on field trips and outings or those meals included as part of the cost of such trips \nHealth care expenses for a dependent. These should be considered for reimbursement through a Health Care Flexible Spending Account. \n\n\nGood try, though.

What is the best gift for a one month anniversary?( we're really close couple)?

How cool that a GUY is asking a question like this.  Hats off to you, bro.  You sound like a real romantic.  This being the case, why not break the mold?  Don't just go to WalMart, and pick something up for her - CREATE an afternoon for her!  I did this for my wife on our first anniversary.\nCreate a custom day-spa for her, made up of all kinds of things that she likes to do, print it up, and give it to her.  An example would be:\n\n9:00am - Tennis at the courts where we met\n10:00am - Go for a walk & talk about our dreams\n11:00am - Spend some time playing with her little sister\n12:00pm - Customize picnic in the park, featuring her favorite sandwich\n1:00pm - Non-sexual backrub on the beach (women really dig "non-sexual" affection - it makes them feel loved and comfortable, as opposed to a tool that you are using to meet a need)\n\nYou get the idea.  Finish it all off by cooking her a special dinner.  Even if it doesn't taste that great, she'll love the fact that you thought enough of her to get a cookbook from the library, and arrange a candlelight dinner!  The key to the whole day is to focus your concerns on her needs.  Stay away from expecting anything in return from her.  Make this day about making her feel like a princess.\n\n*Also, as a side note, something that I did with my wife because I could tell early on that she was the one...secretly start a journal.  Write down loving thoughts that you have about her (and DATE every entry).  Write down notes about things that you do together & dates that you have.  Continuously write down why you love her, and why you are so excited to be with her.\nThen, on your wedding night, GIVE IT TO HER AS YOUR WEDDING GIFT!  I was SO glad that I had done it.  My journal was packed with stuff that I had long forgotten about, and she absolutely melted!

how many years has baseball been played?

Baseball is thought to be a direct descendant of cricket, rounders, and town ball (which was much like rounders). The first explicit references to baseball appear to come from England. The earliest known mention of the sport is in a 1744 publication, A Little Pretty Pocket-Book by John Newbery. It contains a wood-cut illustration of boys playing "baseball" (showing a similar set-up to the modern game) and a rhymed description of the sport. Also, a British letter dating from 1748 by Lady Hervey describes how the then Prince of Wales diverted his time playing baseball.\n\nAnother early mention of the game can be found in an 1886 edition of Sporting Life magazine, in a letter from Dr. Adam Ford of Denver, Colorado, formerly of St. Marys, Ontario, Canada, who details a base ball game played in Beachville, Ontario, Canada, on June 4, 1838 -- Militia Muster Day.\n\nAlexander Cartwright had a hand in compiling and publishing an early list of rules in 1845 (the so-called Knickerbocker Rules) to meet the demands of the already popular sport, and today's rules of baseball have evolved from them.\n\nProfessional baseball began in the United States around 1865, and the National League was founded in 1876 as the first true major league, quickly producing famous players such as Honus Wagner. Several other major leagues formed and failed, but the American League, established in 1901 as a major league and originating from the minor Western League (1893), did succeed. While the two leagues were rivals who actively fought for the best players, often disregarding one another's contracts and engaging in bitter legal disputes, a modicum of peace was established in 1903, they began playing a World Series that year.\n\nCompared to modern times, games in the early part of the 20th century were lower scoring and pitchers were more successful. The "inside game", whose nature was to "scratch for runs", was played rather more violently and aggressively than it is today. Ty Cobb said of his era especially, "Baseball is a war!" This period, which has since become known as the "dead-ball era", ended in the 1920s with several rule changes that gave advantages to hitters and the rise of the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, who showed the world what power hitting could produce and thus changed the nature of the game.\n\nDuring the first half of the 20th century, a "gentlemen's agreement" in the form of the baseball color line effectively barred African-American players from the major leagues (though not Native Americans, oddly enough), resulting in the formation of several Negro Leagues. Finally in 1947, Major League Baseball's color barrier was broken when Jackie Robinson was signed by the National League's Brooklyn Dodgers. Although it was not instantaneous, baseball has since become fully integrated.\n\nBaseball has often been a barometer of the fabled American "melting pot", as immigrants from different regions have tried to "make good" in various areas including sports. In the 19th century, baseball was populated with many players of Irish or German extraction. A number of Native Americans had successful careers especially in the early 1900s. Italians and Poles appeared on many rosters during the 1920s and 1930s. Black Americans came on strong starting in the late 1940s after the barriers had been lifted, and continue to form a significant contingent. By the 1960s, Hispanics had started to make the scene, and had become a dominant force by the 1990s. In the 21st century, East Asians have been appearing in increasing numbers.\n\nThe middle of the century led major league baseball to the West of the United States and also became a time when pitchers dominated. Scoring became so low in the American League, due to pitching dominance, that the designated hitter was introduced; this rule now constitutes the primary difference between the two leagues.\n\nDespi

why the efficiency of engine is low and how we can increase it?

According to second and 3rd law of thermodynamics,\nEfficiency is not greater then 1-L/H where L is temperature of air and H is temperature of engine both in Kelvin. ok H is near to 700 Kelvin and L is near to 300 Kelvin, so as a nature rule efficiency can not be more than 1-3/7 = 4/7.\nwhich is more then 50 percent.\n\nIn the real application it is even less and is near to 30 percent at most, \n\nScientists are trying to increase the efficiency, but they know that the limit is about 50 percent.\n\nDue to 3rd law of thermodynamics, in order to reach this limit all processes in the automobile must be reversible,\nSome way to get near to reversible processes in engine is to make the processes (spatially the ignition) very slow.\nBut how to make enough power with slow burning process...

who is the best icehockey player in the world ?

You can't really call Wayne, Mario, or Gordie Howe the best player in the world.  Remember they all played in different time periods under different rules, so you can't compare them to each other.  I have to say that they were each the best player of their time period, except when Mario Lemieux had heart problems.  Wayne has the records, Howe has the 2nd place records, Mario has a couple of Lord Stanley Cups.  Mario has also played with Jaromir Jagr and Tom Barrasso, possibly the best goalie ever.  Howe played in Detroit, the single greatest team based on reputation, while Wayne played with the great Mark Messier in New York, the great Mark Messier in Edmonton, and the great Luc Robitaille in Los Angeles.  I think they all were good and can't pick any one over the others.

Why did the Church choose some gospels over others (the apocryphal)?

There were lots of writings around, and none of them were called "gospels" at the time--they were just writings from different people.  The word "gospel" just meant "good news."  For example, if you look in your New Testament, you'll see that the Apostle Paul's writings are called "epistles" (another word for a letter or written message).\n\nThe first three gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) were written in the early days after the death of Jesus.  (The book of Luke and the book of Acts were originally one book.)  These three are called the "Synoptic Gospels" ("Seeing Together Gospels") because they have a lot in common, including some of the same source material--scholars  believe that the writers of all three of these gospels had read a document called the "Q Source" or"Sayings Source", which was a collection of things Jesus had said.\n\nThe fourth gospel, that of John, was written much later than the first three--no earlier than 90 C.E.--and is very different from them.  It contains a lot of visionary poetic imagery, and seems to reflect Gnostic teachings.\n\nA lot of other people wrote accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus.  If the Bible had included them all, it would fill a bookcase.  Many of these other accounts have been lost, though some (such as the Gospel of Thomas) have been rediscovered.\n\nIn the beginnings of Christianity, there was no unified organization;  there were just a lot of different individuals and congregations who had heard about Jesus from different people.  So there was no real agreement about what books were sacred and/or authoritative. \n\nOn several different occasions, Christian leaders organized councils to discuss these questions.  A key council was the Council of Nicea.  There were a lot of arguments and politics there, and some doctrines were adopted and other conflicting ideas were declared heresies.  The Nicene Creed originated there.\n\nThis is how both the official doctrines and the official canons (declarations of what books and writings were holy) were formed.  Some Christian groups never affiliated with the Catholic Church (for example some of the Ethiopian and Coptic groups, etc.)  Some of these groups had other ideas about which writings were important.\n\nMuch later, when Martin Luther established Protestantism, the Protestants threw out some of the Bible materials they did not believe was authentic.\n\nI suggest you do a web search on the phrases "Council of Nicea", "Nicene Creed", "Bishop Arrius", "Bishop Athanasius", "Emperor Constantine", and "Early Christian heresies" and do some reading.  The links suggested by some of the people who have already answered this question are good, too.\n\nI'm not listing any links because I am writing from memory;  I studied religion in college, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth.  ;-)

Definitions::\nThe act of one hamster killing and eating another. Typically this occurs with mothers and their newborn pups. The reason can be to protect the other pups in the litter from starvation or dehydration if there are too many pups for the mother to actively take care of, it may aslo occur if the pup is handled by a human or other non-hamster creature before the pup matures.\n\nCannibalism is the act or practice of eating members of one's own species and usually refers to humans eating other humans (sometimes called anthropophagy). Cannibalism has been attributed to many different tribes and races in the past, but the degree to which it has actually occurred and been socially sanctioned is an extremely controversial topic in anthropology.''\n\nFollowing are the best reference websites and books.\nPlease Click 1/1

YES, there are, but your biggest concern would still be tornados!  Back in the late summer/early fall of 2000 there was one in Amarillo.  That was the first time I had ever "felt" one.  My brother and I were sitting on the couch and it felt like someone started shaking it!  It was very brief, but everyone in our apt building opened their doors and were asking "did you feel that??  was that a.... NO WAY!"  Since then, there have been smaller ones here and there that are getting a bit of media coverage, like the one in Dumas, but not that entense or frequent.  Now I'm no geologist, but Amarillo DOES sit on top of an underground mountain range, so that might contribute.  The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, which every school kid is like REQUIRED to go to on at least 3 field trips in their lives, has an exhibit on it.  Pretty interesting.

What religion is the most believable in your eyes?

Definitely NOT Christianity.  But since you think it has the most empirical evidence, I am very interested in knowing from you what that is.  I am conducting a study on the evidence both for and against Christianity, and I will do my best to survey it scientifically without bias, so please show me this evidence you speak of.\n\nJudaism offers the most "empirical evidence" of any religion I have seen to date.  However, the evidence is flawed.  It at first seems impressive, but upon scrutiny, one realizes it is not good evidence.\n\nBuddhism would have to get my vote just because it does not require you to believe in anything which you cannot discover with your own mind.  It invites you to lay its teachings on the line and if you find that the Buddha was wrong, then you just don't follow his teachings.  It does not require belief in God.\n\nHowever, I am not a Buddhist.  I embrace lots and lots of Buddhist teachings.  In fact, I probably embrace more of it than I reject.  I am a Hindu because I believe in that religion, and so obviously Hinduism is the most believable in MY eyes.  I cannot prove to another that God is, but I believe in God, and therefore I choose a theistic religion.  But more than this, the Hindu Scriptures teach things, like Buddhism, that can be arrived at independently.  Some of the mythology (which I do not call "mythology" in a condescending way at all) may be difficult to arrive at again, however, the ideas and teachings BEHIND that mythology could.\n\nIt is said that if all the Vedas were lost, all the years of teachings of the Hindu religion were somehow forgotten, that given time, people could rediscover them.  These are timeless truths, inherent in the universe.  That is why we call it the sanatana dharma (eternal dharma).  It is the truth that people of all cultures have found in the so-called "pagan" religions.  Every culture developed similar beliefs to the Sanatana Dharma.  Something happened, involving politics usually, that changed that pristine vision.  And then religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, supposedly enlightened above those "pagan religions" try to stamp them out.  But they cannot succeed, because the truth is there in the universe before us, and when we open our eyes and hearts to it, we will find it again.

I have an xbox 360 (core system.) I want to play the regular xbox games on it.  How do I do that? Thanks?

you must buy the hard drive in order to play xbox games on the xbox 360 the hard drive cost 100 dollars.  then u must connect to xbox live and insert the xbox 1 game so that the system can download the update.  if u dont want to connect to xbox live u can burn a cd with the update and insert it into your xbox 360.  u can get the update here  http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardscompatibility.htm#discalong  \n\nnote however that only certain amount of games are compatible for a full list click here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm


What do you think "Highest & Best Use" means?

:}\nHighest and best use is a term of art used by appraisers,\nWhen determining the value of a property it is necessary to determine its highest and best use.\nA lesser use would diminish the value of the property.\n\nFor example if you owned a large lot on a busy street which was zoned for a shopping center but were using it to store unwanted refuge awaiting disposal. \nIf that property is appraised as a site suitable for a shopping center It might appraise much higher than it will as a storage lot.

Use the limit process to find the area between the graph of f(x)=x² and the x-axis over the interval on the x-

Let's break the area into many vertical rectangular strips between x=1 and x=2, each strip so narrow that we can assume that the top of the strip is horizontal. Thus each strip will be a very narrow and tall rectangle.\n\nLet's say the number of vertical strips we use is n. The first strip will have its left-hand side at x = 1, the next will have its left-hand side at x = 1 + 1/n, the third will have its left-hand side at x = 1 + 2/n, and in general the kth strip will have its left-hand side at x = 1 + (k-1)/n.\n\nNow, what is the y value at each of these x points? Using f(x)=x² we get, for the kth point,\n\ny = (1 + (k-1)/n)² = 1 + 2(k-1)/n + ((k-1)/n)² \n\nNow the area of each strip is equal to its base times its height. The base of each strip is 1/n. So the area of the kth strip is\n\nA = 1/n * (1 + 2(k-1)/n + ((k-1)/n)²)\n\nNow we have to add the areas of all these strips from k = 1 to k = n and rearrange the terms.\n\n.....k=n\nA = Σ (1/n + 2(k-1)/n² + (k-1)²/n^3)\n.....k=1   \n\n.....k=n\nA = Σ (1/n + (2k - 2)/n² + (k² - 2k + 1)/n^3)\n.....k=1\n\nGiving all fractions the common denominator of n^3,\n\n.....k=n\nA = Σ ((n² + 2kn - 2n + k² - 2k + 1)/n^3)\n.....k=1\n\n.....k=n\nA = Σ ((n² - 2n + 1)/n^3  + (2kn + k² - 2k)/n^3)\n.....k=1\n\nThe first term in the summation sign appears n times in the sum, so we can take it out by multiplying it by n. \n\nSum going from k=1 to k=n:\nA =  (n² - 2n + 1)/n² + Σ (2kn + k² - 2k)/n^3\n\nNow let's clear the parentheses in the summation:\n\nSum going from k=1 to k=n:\nA =  (n² - 2n + 1)/n² + Σ 2k/n² + Σ k²/n^3 - Σ 2k/n^3)\n\nThe first summation contains k=1, 2, 3, ... n, so we use the formula for the sum of the arithmetic series:\n\nS = n(n+1)/2\n\nso the first summation becomes\n\nn(n+1)/n² = (n² + n)/n² = 1 + 1/n\n\nThe last summation also contains k=1, 2, 3, ... n, so we use the same formula for the sum of a series, and we get\n\nn(n+1)/n^3 = (n² + n)/n^3 = 1/n + 1/n²\n\nFor the middle summation, we have to compute the sum of k² for k=1, 2, 3, ... n, or that is the sum of 1, 4, 9, 16, ... n².\n\nThe site\n\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/PowerSum.html\n\ngives the formula for the sum of the squares of a series as\n\nS = (2n^3 + 3n² + n)/6\n\nso the middle summation becomes\n\n1/3 + 1/2n + 1/6n²\n\nNow, we are almost done.\n\nLet's let the number of strips get very large, go to infinity as a limit. Let's see what each term becomes:\n\n(n² - 2n + 1)/n² becomes 1 as n gets very large,\n1 + 1/n becomes 1 as n gets very large,\n1/n + 1/n² becomes 0 as n gets very large, and\n1/3 + 1/2n + 1/6n² becomes 1/3 as n gets very large.\n\nThe area under the curve is 1 + 1 + 1/3, or 7/3.\n\nYou can see why integral calculus was invented. Using integral calculus, this problem can be solved in two steps. The integral of f(x)=x² is x^3/3. Inserting the limits of x=1 and x=2 gives\n\nA = 2^3/3 - 1^3/3 = 7/3

why is the mass of a carbon atom is about twice the mass of the protons in a carbon atom?

There are only 6 neutrons in a carbon atom.  In addition to that there are the 6 protons that make a carbon atom a carbon atom.  Protons and neutrons have nearly the same mass so, and additionally there are 6 electons (very small in mass, comparitively) in an electrically neutral carbon atom so the atomic mass is slightly more than twice the mass of the protons.

Does anyone have any cool fundrasing ideas so my senior class could raise money for our class trip??

I know this is a crazy idea,but, parents are always looking for decent baby sitters overnight. Host a sleep over party at the school gym, bring your own sleeping bag, bag dinner, have like 1 high school student per 6 kids.( Maybe a teacher or two to oversee this.) Play games with them, sports, music, watch a movie.Drop off kid at 7 p.m. and pick up kid at 8:00 a.m. Ask for  $30 per kid or $65 family value (kid pack 0f 3 or more). Little kids love to hang out with older ones, especially a positive role model. Its a win- win situation. The teenagers get to be involved in the community and make a difference in a young ones life and you earn some fast cash. I'm sure a lot of families would be interested in this. I would. Lets do the math  quick. Say you have 100 kids at $30 a pop that's $3000. Not bad for a 11 hour fundraiser. How about asking local retailers to participate in YOUR SENIOR CLASS SCHOOL NAME DISCOUNT CARD.Make up a business card w/logo of retailers that are offering a discount, laminate it, and sell to students, community for $10 a piece. McDonald's could offer a free soda. Clothing stores could offer 10 % discount off of a thirty dollar purchase. That type of thing. Good luck! And congratulations on your near commencement!

Do you think blk people on the west coast have different morals then those on the east coast?

Morals have little to do with what color you are and more to do with how you were raised. I think that in the USA, there is a large diversity in beliefs and moral values as that was the basis of the country.  This diversity does span from coast to coast and you'll find that people see things differently depending on how they came up.  There may be diversity, but the one common thing is that everyone knows there's a right and a wrong.

How might the spectrum of an atom appear if it's electrons were not restricted to particular energy levels?

If energy levels didn't exist, the spectra of atoms would all be one big swath of color. You wouldn't have those telltale spectra lines, because those are created when electrons jump from a specific energy level down.

Who here gets along with their brothers/sisters? How? If not, why?

depends a lot on how lod you are.  I got along with some of my brothers and sisters while living at home, and I get along with all of them now that I've moved out.\n\none thing that will damage a relationship is if someone is trying to control you (tell you what religion to follow, what to do in school, what religion to follow, who you should or shouldn't go out with, what religion to follow...).  In the long run; patience, understanding, acceptance, and unconditional love are going to be the things that make a relationship work.  That and just not giving up on a relationship.

why do some people vomit from doing herion?what causes this? this is a serious question!!!?

LOL!! Nice user name. :D Well, vomiting is the body's way of rejecting something that shouldn't be in it, maybe the heroin was tainted, maybe it's an allergic reaction, and often times vomiting is a normal reaction of illegal drug use. \n\nI remember one night, I was in the ER with a temp of 105(from the flu) and there was a 16 year old kid in the bed next to me who was brought in to the ER by his parents because he had done LSD and he was vomiting something severe. WEll, come to find out the LSD patches someone sold him were tainted. I forget what the doctor said they were tainted with ,but he told the kid that he is lucky that he is still alive.

You should have a bachelor's of science degree-preferrably in education/counseling and depending on the state/school, some may wish you to have your masters degree and/or certification. This can take anywhere from 3-? years....depending on how much of a course load you take each semester and how little partying you do.Look on the State's website for employment, go to the local School Board, or register with the Job Service( Employment Office) in your local area-they'll send you job info/openings that match your profile...average salary-depends on the state you're in...$30,000-$59,000 per year/depending on your qualifications and time/service.

How can I get financing for a used singlewide?

This is a tricky situation, but it sounds like you will need to get automobile financing.\n\nTraditional mortgage financing requires:\n1. property be permanently affixed to property through permant foundation\n2. Doublewide preferred (FHA will do singlewides though and it's a pain)\n3. Manufactured home built after JUNE 15, 1976  --- very, very important date. I can not emphasize this more, it is the difference in classification between a mobile and manufactured home\n4. All wheels and axels must be removed\n5. Private/connected utilities and septic/sewer\n\nAnother aspect for mobiles is to consider with age is if the singlewide is over 29 years old.  This will affect the amount of insurance you will be able to obtain which might not jive with lender requirements.  Insurance Co's depreciate mobiles after 29 years.\n\nPersonally, I don't touch singlewides... they are too much work/difficult to get financing for.  But if you are purchasing one that isn't on the property already... yeah, it sounds like you will have to get auto financing.  Go to a auto dealership finance department, they might be able to help...

What is the best way to copyright information on a website?

On one level, copyright protection vests as soon as you fix your creative work in a tangible medium (such as a web server), but should you need to sue for infringement, it would be very helpful to the court if you've registered with the copyright office (see the link below).  The precise procedure depends on the type of content of you wish to protect.  If you want to be absolutely sure, speak with an attorney.


Is it bad for health to have sex (with orgasms) daily?

Daily sex, specially when you reach an orgasm, is always great for you. However, if you don't sleep enough and have sex instead, you will end up exhausted. Please also note that different kinds of sexual activity may have different results. For instance, having too much anal sex (word is censored, I mean from behind) can lead to anal lesions and fissures.

can you give me examples of z test and t test.?

"z-test" usually refers to normal distribution. Which means \n1) That the population is normal \n2) That the population parameters (mean and variance) are known\nthen you can test against a Z by letting z=(x-mu)/sgima, that distributes normal-standard.\n\nNow, if you don't know the population parameters, then you go the t way (Correctly known as STudent-t to honor its inventor)\n\nNow, t aproaches z as sample size grows. In practical terms, it means that ,for sample sizes below 100 you use t and for larger samples you use normal

How can I stop being afraid of Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven backwards?I'm creeped.?

As Rob Halford from Judas Priest pointed out in court, if you listen hard enough to any song backwards you'll probably hear something


in classical usage, a dictator referred to a constitutional extraordinary chief magistrate without a colleague in Ancient Rome, who temporarily received absolute power during times of emergency. Their power was neither arbitrary nor unaccountable, however, being subject to law and requiring retrospective justification. There were no such Roman dictators after the hated Sulla (81BC), and later de facto dictators were otherwise styled (such as Triumvir and the Princeps or Roman Emperor), and exercised power more personally and arbitrarily.\n\nDictatorships in the modern sense tend to exert their power without any regard to the moral or ethical consequences of their actions. They hardly ever come to power by democratic means, often being installed by a coup d'état or revolution. Often they will assert that they are using their powers, like ancient Roman dictators, to deal with the enormity of some emergency, real or imagined. However, dictators and their governments rarely lay down their power once any such crisis has abated. In the lack thereof, they sometimes invent their own, such as in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.\n\nSuch regimes survive out of the fear the people have for the government. Dictatorships often use armed force, propaganda, and arbitrary detention to enforce their will, and usually suppress any opinion which runs counter to their own. Dictators in single-party states, as opposed to military juntas, often create single-party states without elections, or with rigged or heavily biased ones.\n[edit]\n\nPower\n\nThe existence of dictatorships often relies solely upon the power which they are capable of exerting over their citizens. Without it, they usually disintegrate or are completely ineffectual, such as the Bolshevik government of Russia shortly after it came to power. Modern dictatorships have used not only force and coercion, but also the mass media as tools of control. In China for instance, a communist single-party state, the government controls all news broadcast in the country, censors the internet, and often simply detains those who resist.\n\nThe cultures created by many dictatorships foster what has been termed the "cult of personality", where not only is the media controlled by the state, but serves to glorify it and its leader. In Nazi Germany, a picture of Adolf Hitler appeared in nearly every building. Under Saddam Hussein, every news broadcast in Iraq began with a reference to himself. Entire art museums were filled with paintings of the leader. The underlying tendency to want absolute power and control has been termed megalomania. Governments which impose absolute control and personality cults are sometimes known as totalitarian, a term originated by the dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy.\n\nSome dictatorships are supported by much of the general public, such as in Nazi Germany. These regimes often usher in a period of calm after civil war or economic hard times. Again, the governments justify their methods as responses to the current crisis, even after it has abated. Dictatorships rarely retain lasting support, however. Eventually the people begin to push for greater freedoms, and the dictatorship is forced to employ more coercive tactics in order to survive. Such was the case in the communist regimes of Eastern Europe during the Cold War, many of which enjoyed initial popular support.

whats the best/fastest way to improve credit score?

Best thing to do is go to your bank and ask for a secured credit card or loan.  This works in Canada and the US...should also in the UK. The bank can not lose and they get to charge you fees and interest.\n\nYou give them say $1,000.00, which they will lock up in a GIC or savings account (you have no acess to it)and they give you a credit line or a credit card.  Now you use it and maintain a perfect payment schedule for 6 months then after that ask for an increase to $2,000.00, use your card and pay again promptly for six months, ask again for another increase. You can keep it going (based also on your ability to pay....employment etc.) This method worked wonders for me.\nWhen I say use it-the card or account , you can take the money out (cash advance ) and put it right back, ALWAYS MAKE YOUR ACCOUNT ACTIVE..LOTS OF ACTION AND GOOD PAYMENT HISTORY COUNTS! Do this for a couple of years and you will be in the green. They (the banks) don't advertise this, you have to go and ask. Time and good payment habits will move your score up.


How do I get my website at the top of a search engine or how do I pick my meta tag?

This is a very in depth question, and the best way you're going to be able to succeed in doing this is by browsing some of the resources available on the internet. Try www.seochat.com and www.webmasterworld.com, they both have great information. You will also be able to find information on the Meta tags on those sites as well, but generally you just want to include information that is related to your site. Meta tags don't have a great impact on search engine rankings anymore, so it isn's as important as it used to be to get them perfect.

Did the blood sacrifice in O.T. times eliminate sin or just cover it up?

Carnut is on the right track here.\n\nDuring the O.T. times, we had to spill blood in order for the blood to "wash away our sins".  \n\nThe symbolism here is:  only the life portion of God's creation can wash away our sins.  \n\nThe pilosophy here is:  a lower form of existence can help save our souls thanks to the original sin of Adam and Eve.\n\nIn the N.T., Jesus became a coverall; kind of like an umbrella.  His blood replaces the blood of tiny animals.  And it is considered the ultimate sacrafice that humans could do (killing the son of God).\n\nTo argue the other side of the fence:  even with worshipping the devil, we have to shed blood of small animals in order to be closer to the sin of satan.\n\nAnd if we do shed blood in the name of satan, it is considered to be entering the ranks of satan, and there is no salvation that can follow once this happens.  Because once you do, you are foever considered in God's eyes to be evil and on the side of satan.  He will never let you enter heaven if you have gone this far.\n\nI hope you can see that religious zealists felt that blood was the ultime source of life.  And that by shedding God's life source, it must have some sort of deep meaning.  Therefore, we harbor the phrase when someone kills another..."His blood is on your hands".\n\nI had to add stuff here.  GRAVATOL is wrong.  Don't you remember in the N.T. that even though Jesus didn't want to die on the cross, he knew he had to because he had to fulfil God's plan?  The plan was so that we did not have to go through the measures of killing animals to be forgiven of our sins.  It also was a way so that we don't have to go through any other man.  This means that the Catholics who think that they have to confess are wrong.  Jesus put an end to that.  We are not supposed to confess our sins to any man.\n\nRead the O.T., you will find many sacrafices.  The profets did not admonish it.  Only Jesus's deciples did because they knew what the new law was going to be.  BTW, I guess when Able's shrine where he sacraficed animals wasn't too bad, because if it were so terrible, then his brother Cain wouldn't have killed him over it.


When was the first every wedding ceremony performed?

The evidence is that people were doing all kinds of ceremonies very far back in time, like there are burials dated well back into the Stone Age.  If they did burials, and they did, they did pretty much the whole gamut of ceremony: crownings and inductions and religious things, and weddings.  So it would be hard to find out when the "first" one was - 30, 50, 75, 100 thousand years is a loooong time.

Will San Jose meet the challenge this 2nd go round?

I watched the game last night with the coyotes I think that SJ was playing better but just not putting the puck in the back of the net many great scoring Chance but not many goals. Cujo has also has a 30-7-0 record against the sharks so I don't see a change in that unless the sharks step it up a notch. I like what I saw of the sharks but if they want to win they need to keep crashing the net and stop with the bad turn overs. also stop giving away odd man rushes. As for the chances of making the play-offs not to good a lot of teams in the running will have to drop the ball for this to happen. Go Leafs and Canadians and ottawa :)

Do you belive in UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) & Alien ?

I do believe it. For one, the universe is absolutely massive and there are billions upon billions of solar systems that we have not discovered. Are we so conceited to believe that WE are the only intelligent species in a universe where there are billions of planets? The probabilities are extremely high that there are a number of other intelligent species. We just haven't found a means to detect them or communicate with them yet.

Heaven's Touch by Greg Olsen and \nA Time To Dance by Anita Stansfield


First time home buyer! Any grants available???

The Acorn Program and The Nehemiah Program\n\nwww.acorn.org\nwww.nehemiah.org


Hold the bus!!  "love him for who he is" sounds like a nice, feel good statement, but let's anylize what that is really saying.  It is saying to forget God's command not to be unequally yoked, that denouncing Jesus as the Son of God is ok, and that "human love" can overcome God's knowledge of what is best for us!!  \n\nAbout marrying someone who isn't Christian: you are not going to have an easy road.  What church are you going to go to?  Is your husband going to want to tithe to a Christian church?  What are you going to teach your kids?  Who is right, Mom or Dad?  Are you going to teach them that any religion is ok- and then they are going to read that Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven???  How are you going to explain that?  \n\nYou are choosing to become one flesh with a man that has not asked Jesus to pay for his sins.  There are consequences for that- like not spending eternity with God.  Since God is also Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and this man has said no to Jesus, then God isn't going to make him sing praises to Himself for eternity, and this man will go to Hell.  You will be sleeping with a man that you know is going to Hell.  That might not sit well with you.  \n\nGod has a specific plan for you.  This guy might be a part of this plan- just not until he surrenders his life to Christ.  I know how it is to be in love here on earth.  It is probably not easy to hear that this man isn't your Mr. Forever right now.  What can you do??  Talk very openly with this man about your convictions.  Chat with God daily about your feelings- He understands!!!  He just might have a plan that is bigger than you can see right now.  Ask God to start convivting this man and opening his eyes to the love of Christ.  You can give reasons for why the Bible is the ultimate authority if your boyfriend asks, but living a Christlike lifestyle is the biggest way to show others that you have let the Holy Spirit run your life.  Have a daily quiet time reading your Bible and praying with God.  I can see how this is possibly one of the biggest temptations you will face- should you marry the man that you love right now, or should you follow God's command even if you don't understand it right now???  I have already been praying for you.

why with the lack of rain dothe city or county pump hundreds mabey thousands of gallons of water down sewer?

For the most part it's a cost issue.  They could build systems to capture that water when they're testing/repairing hydrents, but it would be extremely costly.  Now just because it goes into the sewer doesn't mean it's not reused, it's just not reused for human uses (drinking, showering, etc).


How do i learn more continuously and stop playing so much computer?

If you can't seem to get off the computer, try typing your notes (or retyping them if you have them typed already). If you get bored with that try researching the things you're learning about online.


It's the part of your program where the compiler takes the code you have written and changes it into the code the computer will actually interpret and execute.


Remember that you have to do the conversion from cm to km (1m/100cm)*(1km/1000m) and from year to hours (365days/1year)*(1day/24hrs).  Kilometers should end up on top of the fraction and hours on the bottom.

can a man be charged with incest for having sex with his step daugter that is over 21?

A step daughter is not blood related, therefore, there is no incest. However, any man who has sex with his step daughter has some serious issues to work on. When a man marries a women who has children (whether they are over 21 or not), sex should not even enter his mind - it's morally wrong!!!!!


what is the best way to increase vertical leap for basketball?

WARMING UP\n\nBefore starting the exercises, warm up your muscles. Stretch properly, and jog around for a few minutes.\n\nIf you have a jumprope, use it. Jumping rope definitely helps your conditioning.\n\nRunning up and down stairs for a while is very useful as a warmup, or a full exercise. Don't do too much or else you may wear our your legs. Use it as a quick warmup, or a full exercise.\n\nJUMPING EXERCISES\n\nDeep Knee Bends --- Be standing. Slowly bend at the knees while keeping your back straight. Slowly crouch down as low as possible (it shouldn't hurt) and slowly rise back up. Do this 15 times. Over time increase to 20, 30, etc.\n\nDeep Knee Bend Jumps --- Be standing. Crouch down as described above but fairly quickly, almost touching your bottom to the ground, then explode upwards as high as you can. The moment you land, immediately crouch and launch back up again. Do this 15 times, and when you can, increase to 20, 30, etc.\n\nToe Raises --- Stand regularly, then raise up onto the tips of your toes. Lower back down. Don't just rock up and down, do it slowly (not too slowly) but steadily. Repeat 30-50 times.\n\nToe-Raise with Weights --- If you have any sort of weights, holding/wearing them while doing these toe raises will help. Use small weights (a mere 5 or 10 pounds is fine) and work your way up.\n\nStomach Crunches --- We believe that sit-ups are bad for your back. Stomach crunches, where while lying on your back, using your ab muscles and keeping your back straight, you rise up just enough to lift your shoulders off the ground, are better. Do them often - perhaps for 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night.\n\nJumping Rope--- Jumping rope definitely helps your vertical leap. Jump rope while watching tv or something. Make it a habit.


how does a person make their metablism higher?

Try these tips to put your metabolism into overdrive\n\nGet pumped\n\nThe body bums calories in its muscle cells, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll use up--even at rest. And you shouldn't worry that building more muscle will make you look like Vin Diesel. "We don't have the amount of testosterone guys have to get that big," says Ann Yelmokas McDermott, Ph.D., a nutritionist and research scientist at Tufts University. Cardiovascular exercise will also help you burn fat and build more lean muscle. (For examples of interval-and-strength-training exercises that can increase your metabolism, see the fitness story, "Go for the Burn.")\n\nDon't skip meals\n\nIf you go long periods of time without eating, your body will try to conserve energy by burning fewer calories, says Cynthia Sass, a registered dietician and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. And skipping meals "sets you up to be overhungry later on," adds Madelyn H. Fernstrom, Ph.D., director of the Weight Management Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Instead try to nibble on small meals throughout the day. Nibbling will help keep you full while you're waiting for lunch and dinner, which could stop you from overeating. And in addition to getting all your meals in, avoid extreme diets that call for serious calorie cutting--they can actually reduce your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by up to 30 percent.\n\nDrink plenty of water\n\n"Lack of water can slow the metabolic rate," says John Acquaviva, Ph.D., professor of Health and Human Performance at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia. "Since water is the body's most important nutrient, the liver will turn its concentration to water retention instead of doing other duties, such as burning fat." Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger, so if you're thirsty you may end up eating more.\n\nGo for protein\n\nEating protein stimulates the center of the brain, which regulates hunger and fullness, so you feel more satisfied than when you eat carbs, says Fernstrom. And according to Foster, proteins give your metabolic rate a slight boost so you burn more calories eating them.\n\nIncrease your intake of low-fat dairy\n\nA 2002 study that observed Black women found that the higher their calcium intake was, the lower the measure of their body fat. Some researchers believe that high calcium diets--about three servings of low-fat dairy a day--may help suppress a hormone that slows the breakdown of fat cells and instructs them to make even more fat. A 2003 Journal of Nutrition study also found that some of the other nutrients in dairy may help in the reduction of body weight and body fat.\n\nHave breakfast\n\nStudies have shown that people who eat breakfast lose more weight than people who don't. Why? Your body slows down when you sleep and doesn't speed back up again until you put some fuel in it. Eating breakfast may also make you less likely to snack throughout the day. But that doesn't mean you should reach for a plate of bacon and eggs. Choose plenty of fruit and whole grains instead. Fiber is a particularly good breakfast bet because it will leave you feeling full longer.\n\nCut back on alcohol\n\nNot only are alcoholic beverages high in empty calories, but drinking can also lower your inhibitions, Fernstrom says, making it easier to say yes to all those fattening foods you might otherwise take a pass on.

I have to go for my ear surgr. my friends say it's danerous I m scared what to do?

Unless your friend is a medical professional, I would not take their opinion to heart. I suggest you look up the specific type of surgery you are having and base your opinions on the research.  You have to remember that all surgeries are potentially dangerous.  (infetcions, malpractice, ect.)  Also, I would recommend that you discuss your concern with the doctor, so he/she can better inform you of all the risks involved.  Don't be afraid to get a second opinion or voice that you aren't quite clear on the facts just yet.


i have a friend that wants to know how to get rid of boils fast.?

When I was a little girl I used to get boils often. My mother would get a washcloth and soak it in very hot water then cover the boil. She would do that several times. That seemed to make it go away. It would shrink under the heat.


All animals prior to birds and mammals are cold-blooded, thus cold-bloodedness is the norm, not worm-bloodedness.  The greatest advantage is that, ounce for ounce, cold blooded animals need approximately 1/10th the amount of food.  Thus, during times of famine, when there is little food around, these animals can survive much better than mammals.  There is another advantage that isnt commonly discussed, and thats that cold-blooded animals can function at many different blood temperatures, while even a small change in blood temperature in mammals will cause severe loss of function.  One other advantage is that cold-blooded animals are nearly invisible to predators that can detect body heat, such as snakes.  Thus rattlesnakes, which are very sensitive to infrared, primarily prey on mice and other small animals, and only on other snakes or lizards when they are close enough to see clearly.  Also, in chilly conditions, above freezing, adapted cold-blooded animals can survive with very little loss of energy, while mammals and birds must expend *more* energy than normal to maintain heat.  Therefore, as long as the temperature doesnt drop below freezing, reptiles are actually at an advantage.  The advantages to being warm-blooded arent as powerful as we might think.  When Komodo island was discovered, and the large predatory lizards were a pest, Europeans brought in hundreds of hunting dogs and released them, quite sure that the dogs would clear the island of the evil lizards. When the Europeans came back years later, they found no dogs, and lots of fat and happy lizards....


Someone educate me on vegan vs. vegetarianism?

in addition to the other answers - two main reasons for becoming vegan.\n\n1. Ethically - the belief that animals have rights, and there's no reason we should cage animals, abuse them, kill them or experiment on them. especially in the world today when there's no reason for it.\n\n2. Health - a balanced vegan diet has been shown to be healthier than a diet that includes meat, and even than a vegetarian diet.\n\nVegetarians don't eat the flesh of animals (I.E. meat). in the stricter sense vegetarians will not eat other animals, but will use and consume products like dairy, eggs, honey, wool, silk etc. as long as the animal wasn't killed for that product. to this rule there are exceptions such as vegetarians that eat fish or other sea animals (that aren't considered to be meat for some reason) or wear leather.\n\nIn response to "do vegan wear lipstick" - they do if they choose to do so. first - I've never seen a lipstick made from whale blubber (don't know which part of the world makes lipstick from whales), the main two uneven ingredients in lipstick are Lanolin (an oil made from wool) and beeswax  (the wax of bees). there are lipsticks and lip balms that don't contain these two ingredients and are suitable for vegans. as for silk - satin. waxing - not all cleaning materials include beeswax and most now use carnuba wax (a wax from a plant source)   \n\nafter saying all this - as there is no legal definition for vegan, it depends on the person.\nI've known vegans that wouldn't eat anything that says "flavorings" on it because it may contain lactose or other non-vegan ingredient, and I've known vegan who would eat pastries regardless of them being smeared with egg on the top or not, or people that only eat vegan at home but "act vegetarian" when their out from fear it would harm their social life in some way. \n\nIn addition - none of the other answers mentioned that most vegan will try and use only products that are not tested on animals (usually for the ethical reasons mentioned above).

I've been told Sahih Muslim is a major Pillar of Islam then how do statements like this prove good for Women?

1) because number of women is more than men ... \n\n2) i dont know to what extent your knowledge in Islam .. but there is a big sin in Islam (al g'heba) and it means when a muslim talks badly about another muslim behind his/her back(without knowing) ... and this what most women actually do when they sit together in a group .. they do it more than men ...


If figure skating is basically ballet on ice, why isn't ballet an Olympic sport?

I don't even think figure skating should be a sport.  No offense intended to anyone, especially because I still consider figure skaters athletes, but it isn't a sport!  It's more a competition, like ballroom dancing or something.  You don't see ballroom dancing in the Olympics.

what is the book postern of fate by agathat christie about?

Postern of Fate (published in 1973) is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie, featuring her detectives Tommy and Tuppence Beresford.\n\nThe novel is the detectives' last appearance, also being the final novel Christie ever wrote. However, it was not the last to be published.\n\nPlot\n\nNow in their '70s, Tommy and Tuppence move to a quiet English village, looking forward to a peaceful retirement. But, as they soon discover, their rambling old house holds secrets. Who is Mary Jordan? And why has someone left a code message in an old book about her 'unnatural' death? Once more, ingenuity and insight are called for as they are drawn into old mysteries and new dangers.\n\nStyle\n\nChristie wrote the novel in her old age, and several times the novel goes off onto thoughts and subplots that are tangential at best to the main plot.

Can you suggest any reading activites that improve fluency for an ESL student?

Record the student as he/she reads over time.  Every time you record the student have them listen and let them list what they noticed first.  The offer some advice.  Maybe you can tape about once a week and then go back and see how he or she is progressing in reading.  \nA lot of times I read very slow to model slow fluency then ask the students what I did when I was reading.  A lot of the times they will catch on that I wasn't reading fast enough.  Before reading let them know that today you are going to look at how they are reading.  Are they reading word for word or are they reading like if they are having a conversation with someone.


Looking for golf league for mixed couples in Oakland County?

My advice to you is to call local golf courses in Oakland County to see if they have leagues for mixed couples.


Yes, because when you stop eating, or eat less, your metabolism slows down, because the body does not want to starve.  When your metabolism slows down,  calories and fat are burned way slower resulting in weight gain we you start eating normal again.
