Apatosaurus, often mistakenly refered to as Brontosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs that lived about 140 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. They were some of the largest land animals that ever existed, about 4.5 metres (15 feet) tall at the hips, with a length of up to 25m (80 feet) and a mass up to 35 metric tonnes (40 tons). However, the Argentinosaurus was even larger.\n\nThe cervical vertebra and the bones in the legs were bigger and heavier than that of Diplodocus, but they both had the long neck and tail. The skull was first identified in 1975, a century after it got its name. The Apatosaurus had a claw on its hand, but only the thumb. Scientists have a theory about the tail being lifted perhaps a meter above the ground. It would prevent the dinosaur from stomping on it, and put the tail out of reach of predators.\n\n\nIn 1877, Othniel Charles Marsh published notes on his discovery of the Apatosaurus, and then in 1879 described another, more complete dinosaur — the Brontosaurus. In 1903, it was discovered that the apatosaur was in fact a juvenile brontosaur, and the name Apatosaurus, having been published first, was deemed to have priority as the official name; Brontosaurus was relegated to being a synonym. The name was not formally removed from the records of paleontology until 1974.


is there an updated version of yahoo messenger for the mac osx?

There's not, there never will be... hopefully macintosh users will learn how to make their own yahoo client with the new features.\nThis seems most likely a case of bad business by an almost monopoly. If a certain company, let say "micro-hard" just so we dont take chances messing with potential danger, realizes that its largest competitor (apple) has better hardware and software than the computers that carry it software, one easy way to stay in business would be to pay many companies to make all software for the competing company inferior, as to make the customer believe that the computers by the competing company are inferior.\n\nI almost forgot to mention, if you think the mac version is bad, take a look at the unix version. poor thing is a crying shame. I guess Gates really does rule the world.

What author coined the phrase user-centered design?

I am quoting directly from a site I found from a Google search:\n\n"The term 'user-centered design' originated in Donald Norman’s research laboratory at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) in the 1980s and became widely used after the publication of a co-authored book entitled: User-Centered System Design: New Perspectives on Human-Computer Interaction (Norman & Draper, 1986)."

At a bar a woman speaks with a psychologist who in turn tells her employer.Is this a breach of patient/dr conf

If the information did not come about because of a patient-doctor relationship, then there is no confidentiality. However:\n\nWhat business does the doctor have telling the employer? If he's a doctor (co-worker) doing doctor work for her employer, then it would be odd if he wasn't in some way her doctor, and therefore obliged to treat her information with confidence.\n\nIf he was in some way her doctor, then he would be combining what he knew from doctor visits with what he know from the bar, and so spilling some part of confidential information.\n\nIf he had not treated her, but just had a bar conversation once upon a time with her, how qualified is he to judge her mental state, to the point where he would have her suspended/fired?\n\nOTOH, if you're sitting in a bar with someone, doctor or not, and they confess to you "sometimes I just feel like driving the loaded bus off the high point of the bridge, I'm so depressed", I would think you have an obligation to tell someone.\n\n"...until the psychologist feels she is fit to return to work."??? Now suddenly he IS her doctor until she's better? Having stuck his nose into the case and being an employee of one party and snitched on the other, he's hardly qualified to give an impartial judgement of her condition later.\n\nBesides, what happened to the Hippocratic oath of "...first, do no harm..." if he's getting her suspended?\n\nI would say MYOB is the first rule of a professional involved in a non-professional social situation. Unless she was a real danger to others (and explicitly said so) it's not up to the psychologist to butt in.\n\nOTOH, if someone said something that threatened the life or livelihood of others around her, ANYONE has an obligation to snitch unless there is a specific confidentiality in force.\n\nIf they simply threaten suicide themselves, you shouldn't tell anyone (except, say, her doctor who is obliged to keep it confidential) without their permission. telling the whole world will just make matters worse.


what is the best handgun for home defense?

Many people prefer semi-automatic handguns for home defense. I prefer to use a good old-fashioned six-shooter. They don't hold as many bullets, but they won't jam on you nearly as often as a semi-automatic will. You can also buy "shotgun" shells that you can use in a revolver. That way if you have to shoot in the dark, you won't miss...


How can you raise your Google Page Rank? Strategies, please... Thanks!?

Hi Jerry, I could have gone on lenght on answering your query. I am still astonished over the insignificance given to external links in JazzMoney's answer. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html . \n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and  several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take. \n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\n\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

I am not a doctor, but my sister once had this problem. I'll share with you what helped her.\n\nSo, the way my sister treated this was to find out what the cause of the sweating was. It turned out that her anxiety was causing it. Yes, anxiety about life and stuff in general (school, work, and so on). Do you think you are anxious often? It's a common cause of excessive sweating for people, but it's treatable.\n\nAnyway, the best thing you could do right now is get yourself in to see a doctor. You need a professional opinion to actually isolate the cause. Remember to do this! In the meantime, though, you could pick up some special talc from the supermarket, chemist, or other vendor. This product has cornstarch in it and is often used on babies. My sister tells me that this will stop most of your sweating, so go out with confidence and good luck!


why does my urine smell funny after I eat asparagus?

Funny...\n\nI think the smell you are describing is directly related to a fart..\n\nSeriously..\n\nWhen you eat different things, does it not make your Farts smell differently. \n\nThink. \nWhat does a beer fart smell like??\nHow about when you eat beans?\nWhat does it smell like when your Golden retriever eats beans??? Whoa...\n\nGarbage in, garbage out. \nIt either leaves out the anus or it leaves through your pee pee...\nIt takes with it what your body does not need.\n\nFor the record, Mine Urine smells wierd when I take an antibiotic.\nThat smell is much different than when I take a strong vitimin. \nDid ya notice it changes color too?\n\nI wonder, if small paricles of your urine are floating around in the air when you pee so that you can smell it, Are germs floating around so you can inhale them too?\n\nCould you get sick by smelling MY urine??\n\nWhy would you want to go around smelling urine?\n\nGADS, I think I will pee sitting down for now on and flush 4 times.

Imran Khan is known for making a few politically charged statements that have raised eyebrows even when he was the captain of the Pakistan team and later in his role as a politician. The first of these statements came during an India Pakistan match in Sharjah where Imran remarked, "Let's settle the Kashmir issue over the cricket match". Though Imran claimed that he had made that statement only casually, few were impressed by this apparent insensitivity to the Kashmir problem.\n\nLater as leader of his party in 2005, led a protest rally against the US led coalition which had desecrated the Koran and made statements denouncing the Musharraf-Bush coalition.


My uncle took me fishing and asked me to watch his pole while he urinated, should I feel offended?

Why would you feel offended? Did he urinate right in front of you? Otherwise the man had to pee so he asked you to watch for a bite on his line. I am confused about why that is offensive.


how can i stop being so emotional i a nervous reck and cry over such stupid stuff why is it?

Is this a normal reaction for you? If so, it could be one of the signs of depression (crying easily, mood swings, etc), and you should talk to your doctor and tell him how you feel. He might be able to prescribe you medication.\n\nIf it's not normal for you, it could be just female mood swings or PMS, or it could be related to other stress in your life. Do you have a lot going on right now? If so, try talking to someone older who you trust, maybe a school counselor or somebody from your church/job, etc.

why does the color on your clothes change when you put sodium hypo chloprite?

Sodium hypochloride is a strong bleaching agent. Chemically, it is an oxidant: \n\n2 H2O + 2 ClO(1-) + 4 electrons -> 4 OH(1-) + 2 Cl(1-)\n\nThe chlorine in the hypochloride changes from one positive charge to one negative charge.\n\nWhen your clothes change colour, it is because the dyes get oxidated. Dyes usually have complex systems of double-bonds in the molecule in order to absorb visible light. These double-bonds usually are reactive and can get chlorinated (in which case some of the Cl(1-) in the equation above ends up in the molecule) or subsequently hydrolized (which results in the formation of an alcohol).

How can I fix an error on a tax return after it has been filed and submitted?

Submit an amended return, form 1040X. Fill out 1040X with all the information that was on the original plus the corrected error. The IRS will compare the two and fix the problem, so make sure that the 1040X matches the original with the exception of the corrected error.


Ok, my little girl wants to know...What words do PM and AM stand for.?

"“AM” stands for the Latin phrase Ante Meridiem —which means “before noon”—and “PM” stands for Post Meridiem : “after noon.” Although digital clocks routinely label noon “12:00 PM” you should avoid this expression not only because it is incorrect, but because many people will imagine you are talking about midnight instead. The same goes for “12:00 AM.” Just say or write “noon” or “midnight” when you mean those precise times. \n\nIt is now rare to see periods placed after these abbreviations: “A.M.” , but in formal writing it is still preferable to capitalize them, though the lower-case “am” and “pm” are now so popular they are not likely to get you into trouble. \n\nOccasionally computer programs encourage you to write “AM” and “PM” without a space before them, but others will misread your data if you omit the space. The nonstandard habit of omitting the space is spreading rapidly, and should be avoided in formal writing. \n"

Why do we park on a driveway and drive and parkway.?

a driveway is a private drive leading up to a house or a garage, thus the "drive"\n\nA parkway is a thoroughfare that is meant to look like a park- it is usually tree lined and has flowering plants around it, with a grassy and tree lined median between the opposing lanes.\n\nThus "driveway" is a private drive and "parkway" is a highway that looks like a park.


why is it when i go into a pool game it wont load up and says imbehind a firewall?

Probably because you're behind a firewall.  If you are using a software-based firewall, you might need to quit using it temporarily but be aware your PC is exposed while it is down.  Or if you are using a hardware-based firewall, you might be able to accomplish the same thing by adjusting the DMZ settings to allow your machine unprotected access outside the firewall in the DMZ.  Or on whichever version, you might just have to open up specific ports to allow the game you're trying to play to have access to your machine.  Check any help files that might exist for that game or try Googling for the word FIREWALL and the name of the game and the name of the game-service company that hosts the game.


Why is current represented by I in Ohm's law? Why not A or C?

I comes from the German word "Intensität" which translates to "Intensity" in English.  It refers to the intensity, or strength, of the current.\n\nAdditionally, the symbol A is already in use for the magnetic vector potential and C is commonly used for capacitance.\n\nSo there is both a historical and practical reason.

I was nuts about the beatles for a long long time so this one's easy for me.\n\n10. 'If I Fell'\none of their purest of love songs showcasing their softer side....simple yet the harmonizing of John over Paul's lead vocal was classic.\n\n9. 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'\nThis was their breakout hit that caused the entire 'beatlemania' phenomenon in early 63'.\n\n8. 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away'\nTiring of their proven formula and influenced by Bob Dylan and lots of pot, John sat down and wrote this one night while with Bob in his hotel room.  The highly introspective lyrics showed the start of something very different for all of them.\n\n7. 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'\nThe opening title track to what was to become one of the most influential albums in rock history ranked with Beach Boy's 'Pet Sounds' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'.\n\n6. 'Here Comes the Sun'/ 'Something'\nGeorge's 2 contributions to Abbey Road, what I think to be 2 of George's best songs (While my Guitar...is close behind). Here comes the sun is simple yet infectiously catchy. Something is one of his best love songs.\n\n5. 'Yesterday'\nThe Beatles #1 most requested song of all time and Paul's solo vocal debut. This song has been covered by everyone from 'Boys to Men' to 'James Taylor'. \n\n4. 'Free as A Bird'\n20 some odd years after John's death the remaining 3 used current technology to bring one of John's demo recordings to life. 1 of 2 compositions that would ultimately prove to be the last studio record with the entire group, as George passes away 4 years later. You listen to it and it still sounds like the 4 of them together just like in the old days.\n\n3. 'The End'\nWith Abbey Road the beatles knew it would be their last album as a band and 'The End' was the closing track on the album. A song reminicent of the old days but with a more carefree and united feeling it was sort of a last hurrah. The closing lyric by Paul is timeless..."In the end, the love you make is equal to the love you take."\n\n2. 'Blackbird'\nMy personal favorite, this is one of the songs I requested to be played at my funeral...simple, sad, yet uplifting just the same.\n\n1. 'Let it Be'\nThis was to become the beatles swan-song. Released after the break up, it was a brilliant song written by paul. The fans took it as a parting message of hope, love, fun, and gratitude...which was what the entire beatles phenomenon was all about.\n\nHonorable Mention: 'Hey Jude'- Another of my favs., a great party song I always play if I see a piano...\nNaa Naaa Naaaa Na Na Na Naaaaaa Heeeey Jude!\n\nPS I'd have to say that Paul is my favorite beatle just for the simple fact that the group would have broken up far earlier if it wasn't for him keeping the band together for as long as he did.\nOh and Cbirdy, what album is 'Uncle Albert' off of??


If a boss keeps saying you are my secretary in a sarcastic way how should one respond?

I would call him my "little boss". There is nothing men hate more that "small" references. I would also like to add that if you are NOT his secretary, then you should tell him that you will not do anything that is not part of your job description, and that if he has a problem with that, you have a lawyer with a little time on his hands to work it out for you. Good Luck!

Oh you are opening up pandora's box!  Do  you really want tenants working on your property?  You are opening yourself up to a lot of liability issues there.  Definetly speak with a lawyer, but as a property manager I would say not a good idea!  If I let the tenants make decisions about repairs/maintenance/upkeep around here there would be mayhem!  I can't tell you how many people knock on my door daily....to ask to borrow a plunger! ugh!  Seriously though, think about your investment, you want to protect it right?  People tend to care for their own property much better than those who are merely renting!

Who are we? Why are we here? What have we done to be here in this hell/heaven?

Dont you have any friends to hang out with?  What about hobbies?  What do you do on the weekends?  When you grow up, your life will be pretty much the same as it is now but with work unless you do something yourself to change it.  And since you have very philisophical questions, I recommend talking to your minister who can better answer them for you.  Your life is not pitiful.  Its what you make of it.  If you want to be happy, do something happy.  If you want to be sad, then sit there and do nothing.  Your choice.

tell me about herpes, a skin desease thru air. Is it harmless? Can you show me pictures of it?

Herpes is not a skin disease, you can't catch it through air.\nHerpes is caused by a virus, either Herpes Simplex 1(HSV1) or Herpes Simplex 2 (HSV2). (These viruses belong to a family of viruses that include Epstein-Barr – which causes mono – and varicella zoster – which causes chicken pox and shingles.) It is currently estimated that 50 – 80% of North American adults have HSV1, and 20% have HSV2. \n\nAfter contact, some people will have no symptoms for months or even years, but usually, symptoms occur 10 days -2 weeks after exposure. An infected person will probably notice a sensitive, slightly swollen, sore area that feels hot to touch, itchy, and it tingles and throbs. This is called the prodronal stage. Then, an irregular-shaped lesion appears, very sore, red and ugly. The surface of this lesion sloughs off leaving a wet oozy sore. The liquid from this sore is loaded with the HSV. And is very contagious. The lesion will be present for a week to 12 days, and will gradually heal over, leaving no scar. \n\nThe virus has retreated down a nerve path and is stored in the spinal cord where it can be reactivated any time. Some people learn what will trigger another outbreak - sunshine, certain foods, (tomatoes, chocolate, pineapple) stress or a fever, (that is why some folks call them "fever blisters".) The first outbreak is usually the most severe. It can cause headaches, nausea and general malaise. After that the outbreaks usually lessen in severity and frequency. \n\nSome people will have a couple of outbreaks a year, but some women have an outbreak with the onset of every menstrual period, lasting up to two weeks, so they spend ½ their lives with cold sores. \n\nOther people are infected, carry the virus and never have an outbreak, but they can spread the virus by shedding (more later). \n\nHerpes 1 is usually cold sores on the mouth, commonly spread by kissing.\n\nHerpes 2 is usually on the genitals of either males or females. This is spread by nude genital contact with an infected partner. But here is the rub…. If you have a cold sore on your mouth and you "go down on" your partner, your lip virus can infect their genitals. And if partner has genital herpes and you "go down on" them, you can get Herpes 2 on your mouth. \n\n You do not get Herpes from toilet seats or door knobs, towels or bath tubs. \n\nDiagnosis is by smear and culture, done by your doctor or Sexual Health Clinic when you have an active lesion. There is also a blood test which is quite accurate. \n\nThere is no cure, you have it for life, but there is treatment for oral herpes, an oral medication which you take when you become aware of the prodronal symptoms. This may lessen and shorten the outbreak. For severe cases, the medication is taken every day to prevent an outbreak. This is very expensive and may not be covered by your drug plan.\nPlease go to thses sites to learn more\nhttp://www.talksexwithsue.com/herpes.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herpes\nhttp://www.herpeshelp.com/?rotation=12437409&banner=25520680


Where can I get a police clearance (NYC)?

I am not sure what you mean by police clearance. If you mean a records check to check your back ground for criminal records and actions taken or wants for your arrest nation wide. Then go to a police department and ask them to run a NCIC check for you, They may charge a few dollars for it. I hope I answered your question. Good Luck.

Probably a male orca somewhere, there was a gray whale calf kept for a while recovering from a stranding , but I don't know whether it attained a larger size than a male orca before it was returned to the wild. Blue whales are the only whales that reach 30m and 120 t and they have never been kept in captivity

Why do street lights turn off when I walk under them?

This is cause by a blackhole that is inhabiting your shadow. The gravitational force of the blackhole sucks the light from street lamps and causes a temporary popped circuit. Once you pass the light should come on after the breaker cools.\n\nWhat is unfortunate is that SLIders have a negative effect on traffic lights and sometimes actaully make the red lights last longer or the green lights shorter. Oddly SLIders have no effect on yellow lights whatsoever.

Is getting spanked or spanking someone for sex purposes, evidence of mental disease?

The only way it could be considered a mental disorder is if it were forced on somebody. In a consentual relationship between adults there is nothing wrong with spanking. In fact spanking is fairly tame compared to some fantasies. People who are enjoy spanking and other fantasies generaly confine the activities to the bedroom. Outside the bedroom they're just normal average people like everyone else. BTW spanking is more common than you think.\n\nCindy you don't find your "control" comment a bit hypocritical? I mean you say people who spank are control freaks while you define moral standards in other peoples bedrooms. If its a crime like pedophilia or rape then I'm with you, mandatory death penalty. Spanking isn't a crime though.

Why is there no mixing of oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood in a four chambered heart and why is it important?

There is no mixing of oxygen rich blood and oxygen poor blood because the chambers keep the blood from mixing.  The four chambers are the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, and the left vetricle (here's a diagram, it should help you visualize my expalantion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Heart_labelled_large.png_\n\nThe process starts when the right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen.  The blood then goes back to the left atrium.  The blood in the left atrium is transfered to the left ventricle by way of a one-eay valve in the heart.\n\nThe blood in the left ventricle is pumped throughout the rest of the body. (head, arms, legs), where it drops off its oxygen, and the oxygen poor blood returns to the right atrium.  This oxygen poor blood is then transfered to the right ventricle by way of a one-way valve, where the process begins again.\n\nAs you can see, there is no mixing of the oxygen richa and poor blood because the valves in the heart (and in the arteries and veins!!) keep the blood from moving backward in the cycle.  This is important because if the oxygen rich and poor blood mixed, there wouldn't be as much oxygen getting to the body cells, which is inefficient.  Some cells might not get any oxygen and could die if the blood mixed.

What are the signs of becoming a diabetic?

Such signs as having to pee all the time, having to pee immeditately when you do have to go, being constantly thirsty, sudden weight loss with being hungry all the time, all of these can be signs of diabetes.

Is $1,500,000 enough to retire on if primary residence is paid for? I am 50 yrs old and family life span is 90

With 1.5 million invested you should be able to get 6% without a sweat if you have half way decent financial advisor. \n\nThat's 90k in income.  If you have no mortgage I dont see why you can not retire with 90k - taxes.\n\nOf course it depends on what type of lifestyle you are accustomed to and if you are willing to lower your standards while in retirement?\n\nAlso keep in mind that when you reach 67 you'll also be getting money from Social Security so that will hopefully boost your income at that time but does not help now.\n\nI would not recommend touching the principal but rather living off the interest off the money so when you pass away you'll have something for your heirs or charity whatever the case may be.\n\nUltimately only you can decide what type of life to live after retirement.  If you can live with a before tax income of 100k or so you are good to go.  Also remember income from investing are not taxed for social security so you only have federal and state tax to worry about.  Move to a state that has no state income tax and you save 5k right off the bat.


People at my school think im gay, but im not. What do i do?

Just lay low they will move on to harrassing someone else if you aren't any fun and don't react to their childish stupidity.

How do you break up with some you love, but you know you don't want to marry?

You have every right to break up with them, and are making the right choice in ending it before you get married. Just tell the person that you can't marry her. There really is no easy way to say it, but you are saving both of you a huge pain by cutting it off before it starts. Good job. Most people in your situation get married, and then regret it for the rest of thier lives.

I need a list of specific exercises for seniors in wheelchairs?

Before beginning any wheelchair exercise regime it is important to consult a doctor or physical therapist to determine which wheelchair exercises you are capable of. Enlisting a certified personal trainer can be helpful as they can design sensible work-outs, teach you to use fitness equipment properly, help transfer you from gym machines and motivate you. \n\nTo perform wheelchair exercises safely and effectively: \n\n\nWarm up 5 to 10 minutes with stretches before and after workouts. \nUse proper posture. \nStart with a lighter warm-up weight - then increase gradually between sets. \nBreathe - exhale as you lift, inhale as you lower weights. \nDrink plenty of water. \nEat a light meal or snack at least 1 hour before exercising. \nIf you feel faint - stop or take a break.\n\nBeneficial wheelchair exercises: \n\nResistance Training - uses resistance bands (large, stretchy rubber bands), secured to a door handle, pole, hook or even the arm of a wheelchair. These are pulled towards or away from you to work muscles. Elbow and leg extensions, shoulder and trunk rotations, back, neck and shoulder pull downs, are all possible with resistance bands. Resistance bands generally come in low, medium and high resistances. \n\nStrength Training - with free weights, fitness machines or dumbbells will increase the intensity and should only be performed once resistance training exercises become too easy. \n\n\nBiceps Curl\nStrengthens upper-arm muscles. \n\nSit with your back supported by back of chair. \nKeep feet flat on floor even with your shoulders. \nHold hand weights straight down at your sides, with palms facing inward. \nSlowly bend one elbow, lifting weight toward chest. (Rotate palm to face shoulder while lifting weight.) \nHold position for 1 second. \nSlowly lower arm to starting position. Pause. \nRepeat with other arm. \nAlternate arms until you have done 8 to 15 repetitions with each arm. \nRest; then do another set of 8 to 15 alternating repetitions.\n\nArm Raise\nStrengthens shoulder muscles. \n\nSit with your back supported by back of chair. \nKeep feet flat on floor even with your shoulders. \nHold hand weights straight down at your sides, with palms facing inward. \nRaise both arms to side, shoulder height. \nHold the position for 1 second. \nSlowly lower arms to sides. Pause. \nRepeat 8 to 15 times. \nRest; then do another set of 8 to 15 repetitions. \n\nTriceps Extension\n\nStrengthens muscles in back of upper arm. Keep supporting your arm with your hand throughout the exercise. \n\nSit with your back supported by back of chair. \nKeep feet flat on floor even with shoulders. \nHold a weight in one hand. Raise that arm straight toward ceiling, palm facing in. \nSupport this arm, below elbow, with other hand. \nSlowly bend raised arm at elbow, bringing hand weight toward same shoulder. \nSlowly straighten arm toward ceiling. \nHold position for 1 second. \nSlowly bend arm toward shoulder again. Pause. \nRepeat the bending and straightening until you have done the exercise 8 to 15 times. \nRepeat 8 to 15 times with your other arm. \nRest; then do another set of 8 to 15 alternating repetitions.


How can this English paragraph be improved?

Hi. I am an English student. Sometimes I write things that I am not sure are good enough. Here are some examples:\n\nIf you want to choose a company, you can take your pick from among thousands of good folks, but being meticulous in selecting "the pick of the bunch" is always indispensible.\n\nA good friend should have a number of qualities. First, your moral principles should be in conformity with each other so you have the minimum contrast. Second, they should possess the basic characterisitcs expected in anyone who is worth being your friend such as cordiality, loyalty, honesty, magnanimity, etc. And last but not least, they should be a friend for all seasons, not just a fair-weather one. This is so important that it has worked its way to our proverbs, like the one that goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." In a nutshell, a true friend is someone whose appearance reminds you of God, his words add to your knowledge, and his deeds remind you of the next world.


Why is it that people say 'nice guys finish last', and go back and say 'cheaters never prosper'?

People tend to be passive aggressive at best.  SO, this is a comon reaction.\n\nHowever the comment that 'last guys finish last' is actually flawed.  Mainly because most nice guys may finish last in short term relationships and endevors, but, in the long run, they usualy tend to finish ahead of the pack, because they know how to properly play their cards, and learn from their's and others mistakes.\n\nAs to cheaters never prosper; in short term relationships, and endevors, this is actually false; those who tend to cheat, or bend the rules, usualy do very will in short term things; however, over the long run, cheating can lead to cut cornors, misplaced aggression, and usualy failed relationships.\n\nSo, as you can see, both comments are subjective to the type of context that they are used in.

Some people do not like disclosing illnesses to everyone.\n\nHope that helps.

I visited Corning Glass at Elmira, NY, home of Steuben Glass.  I believe I learned there (or read it?) that it is easier to make glass by adding sand to molten glass to dissolve the sand than to melt raw sand.  For that reason recycling used glass bottles etc, actually helps the glass industry.  Of course there are many types of glass.  For example, I believe that leaded glass can contain perhaps 40% lead and is crystal clear and easier to etch or cut.  Most common glass is soda glass and can dissolve in water over time.  Antique bottles found in old household dumps are often pitted from groundwater.

suggest which is best small country to do local business?

well it depend how much money you wnt to invest and what background biz knowledge you got.\n\nIf you have something like 100,000$ the best places to do business are China and Canada.

Is getting married in Las Vegas valid for imigration to prove marriage?

It is a legal marriage.\nFor immigration purposes, the two parties in the marriage will still be interviewed, to check the validity of the "spousal sponsorship".  Bring to the interview any evidence that shows that the couple seriously intend to be together, e.g. how long they've been together, how they met, how the relationship evolved, how they courted, and how/why they finally decided to marry.  Pictures from past events and evidence of togetherness, any documents, pictures from OTHER PARTIES at the wedding, pictures of other large receptions/celebrations, all those help.\n\nYou want to show that this is a *real* marriage, not just a paper marriage for immigration convenience.


if i dont want to have a baby but am already pragnant what should i do.?

Like the others have said, you can have an abortion, keep the baby, or give him/her up for adoption.  There are consequences either which way you go.  If you know that there is no way you could give the baby a chance at a good decent life then you should give them up.  I mean if you have like 20 kids and you can't afford to feed them, what good does that do?  Or if you hear voices that tell you to kill your children, give them up. I'm not trying to be a smart ass I just want you to see that there are scenarios that do justify giving up a child.  Only you know your situation.

If she's in hospice for whatever reason, then the focus of your care and healthcare efforts should be comfort.

However, I would not add a medicine back unless there is a clear reason to do so.

Don't preasure your child into gaining weight unless she's under weight. If she is 12 or older, she can do light weight workouts. Get more information on the web for proper weight technique. Be sure she eats healthy food, but a lot of it. Don't be fooled by someone who tells you that she should eat unhealthy food and get minimal exercise. That could lead to bad habits that last a lifetime.

why aren't organisms on the seafloor crushed by water pressure?

The tissues and cells of creatures that inhabit the deep oceans are filled with fluid and thus air space is significantly minimized . Air is subject to compression, whereby a fluid such as water cannot be compressed.\n\nWithout internal compression, the creatures have negated the potential external pressure of the depths.

refrigeration,when freon is exposed to fire what kind of toxic gas is produced?

First the chemistry:\nAt high temperatures, halons decompose to release halogen atoms that combine readily with active hydrogen atoms, quenching the flame propagation reaction even when adequate fuel, oxygen and heat remains. The chemical reaction in a flame proceeds as a free radical chain reaction; by sequestering the radicals which propagate the reaction, halons are able to "poison" the fire at much lower concentrations than are required by fire suppressants using the more traditional methods of cooling, oxygen deprivation, or fuel dilution.\n\nSo according to this, freon "a halon" would act as an extinguisher, but also fluorine compounds could be the byproduct. This all depends on what is burning because the fluorine will combine into thousands of compounds. I wouldn't be any more concerned about the freon than any other houshold chemicals or plastics which can be very toxic.


should i keep on flirting with my eneies future boyfriend because she did that to me?


Kepler has three laws of planetary motion:\n\n1. The orbit of a planet about a star is an ellipse with the star at one focus.\n\n2. A line joining a planet and its star sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.This is also known as the law of equal areas.\n\n3. The squares of the orbital periods of planets are directly proportional to the cubes of the semi-major axis of the orbits. This one has an equation tied to it:\n\nT^2 = xa^3, where T = orbital period of a planet and a = semimajor axis of orbit

How do I get my computer to work quickly - like it did when it was new?

The ugly truth is if you want the computer to run like it was new, you must return it to a like new state. This means reformating your hard drive and reinstalling windows, or using the system restore disk that came with your system. Over time Windows systems just get bogged down and get slower. Things like you suggested are helpful sometimes, but a good format and reinstall is sort of the cure all. It is however a bit labor intensive. If you do reformat, you may want to concider recombining your hard drive into one partition. The advantages of partitioning your hard drive into smaller logical drives are negligible these days. If you’re not ready for this yet, one additional think you may want to check is what programs are starting up when your computer starts. There are many places where these little apps like real player, hardware monitoring programs, Windows Messenger, etc hide and use your computer resources. You may want to consider adding another 512 of ram too, it may help your computer to not rely on free hard drive space as much.

Pregnancy symptoms include extreme fatigue, breast tenderness, nausea, with or without vomiting, constipation, gas, and/or bloating, abdominal cramps, frequent urination, food cravings or aversion, mood swing, and increased vaginal discharge.  If you feel you may be pregnant, your best bet would be to wait 2 weeks after a missed period, and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as these are more accurate.

How do you convert an annual compound return to an annual total return?

Hmm...not sure if this question is answerable.  Not sure where the term "annual total return" comes from.  Annual compound return is really only useful if you're talking about periods over more than a year.  Assuming that you mean to compare "total % return" and annual compound rate, you can use:\n\nTotal % Return = (1 + (Annual % Rate))^(Years)\n\nAssume a 5% annual compound return, then after 10 years you would have\n\n(1 + .05)^10 = 1.62\n\nYou would have 162% of what you started with, so if you started with $1, you would have $1.62.


Where can you find Tennis Players practising? we can see their practice?

You can see the pros practice at any tournament. There always are practice courts set aside for them, and nearly any time of day you can watch. For example, at a recent women's tournament in Indian Wells, you could have watched Maria Sharapova working out from a distance of 8 feet or so.The early days of tournaments are usually best for being able to watch players close up, and fortunately that's when it costs the least to attend.\nColleges have regularly scheduled practice times, and no one is likely to be bothered by you if you want to observe.\nAny tennis club also has pro courts where instructors give lessons, and usually you can watch.   This is where you often can see young future stars as they are developing. \nPersonally, I generally enjoy watching practice sessions much more than matches. You certainly can get a feel for the kind of work that goes into the building of a tennis player by watching them practice.


that's NOT SAFE!!!.. never lose more than 10 pounds a month. But if you really want to do it.. cut WAY back on your calories. Like eat about 900-1000 everyday.

What was the Water Gate Scandal?  What was the significance?

The Watergate scandal refers to the break in of the Democratic office in Watergate hotel. It was later found that the culprits were closely associated with the white house staff and Nixon was implied to have known and sanctioned the break in. Nixon's lying and coverup by witholding evidence and delaying investigation led to an effort to impeach the president. Before that could happen he resigned. It significance was that it showed that the top level of the US government could and would misuse its power in an effort to stay in power by any means.

why doesnt the sclera hurt when poked whereas the iris/pupil does?

You ask an interesting question.  The iris/pupil area that you are referring to is actually your cornea (the iris and pupil are located a few millimeters behind your cornea).  There are nerves in the cornea and in the rest of the front of the eye.  Being poked anywhere in the eye typically hurts.  One reason you may not feel as much when you touch your cornea is that you are a contact lens wearer.  After wearing lenses for some time, your cornea gets used to touch and your threshold for pain increases.  You want to be sure that your contact lenses are transmitting enough oxygen so that the nerves in the cornea aren't becoming anesthetized.  See your optometrist or ophthalmologist yearly to evaluate your contact lenses and the overall health of your eyes.

Well it depends on what you want to define as a "number".

Read this from ehow.com It is important.\n"\nHow to train for rock climbing.\nConditioning for rock climbing is about more than doing hundreds of pull-ups. It's about doing hundreds of pull-ups and tons of other strengthening exercises, plus improving your flexibility - and getting your head on straight. \n \n   \n \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Go to a local climbing gym. Most cities have indoor climbing walls.  \n  \n2.   Climb as much as you can.  \n  \n3.   Challenge yourself and improve your climbing skills by top-roping and bouldering.  \n  \n4.   Improve your flexibility. Spend a half-hour a day stretching.  \n  \n5.   Weight train. Train all of your muscles, not just the ones related to pull-ups.  \n  \n6.   Run, bike, skate or do any other form of cardiovascular exercise you enjoy.  \n  \n  \n  Tips:  \n Be careful not to get an overuse injury from overtraining.  \n  \n Beware of training too much indoors; artificial climbing walls often lead to overuse injuries.  \n  \n  \n  Warnings:  \n Physical fitness and physical climbing skill are just two aspects of the climbing game. Avoid neglecting the mental aspects. Work to broaden your knowledge and experience as well as your physical abilities.  \n  \n Rock climbing is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity. "\nAlso check the article in wikipedia.org:

is it right to date some one on the internet that u just met?

I just celebrated my 4th anniversary with someone I met on the internet.\n\nWhat bothers me here is, "just met".  I think that you need to be VERY CAREFUL!!!!\n\nThere are alot of crazies out there and you need to make sure that you protect yourself.\n\nWhen I "first met" my other half, we talked back and forth on the internet for a few months.  This gave a chance to see "who" each other really were, and "if" we were really interested in one another.  When we both felt good about that we proceeded to the telephone. This was the 1st step to being a bit more personal. We spoke to each other on the phone for another couple of weeks. It was not until we had done all of this, that we decided to meet, face to face for the 1st time.  We arrived in seperate cars, had dinner at Outback Steak House, (a VERY public place), and ended the evening in seperate cars. Our first few dates went very much the same way.  I always let someone else know where I was going to be and with who.\n\nMy suggestion is to take it very s l o w  and easy.

Do you think humans will ever live on the moon?

Yes, If the current plans stay intact, NASA is planning a return to the Moon by 2018 or so. We are going back this time to stay especially if we find water at the lunar north or south poles. There are actual spots at the poles that don't ever get light from the Sun and ice from comet impacts may occury the craters there.\nNASA would have loved to continue it's Moon exploration programs after Apollo, but our government (and the American people for the most part) didn't want to continue to spend the money. I think this was a short sided view. It would be as if Spain had decided to burn it's fleet of ships after Columbus discovered America in 1492!!!

Why to tie in chains the devil? Why don't kill it forever?!?!?

Like I said in my answer to your question "Does GOD have any question?" that \n\nHe gave a choice to select between what is right and what is wrong.\n\nThis choice of "WHAT IS WRONG" is basically devil. Now it is you who are dealing with devil and only up to you whether you kill it forever within yourself or chain it. Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) told that he killed the devil inside. It means every one can do that. Imagine if none of the person in this world select to do what is wrong then there will be no evil on earth and hence we can say that devil no more exists.

How do i advertise on the 1st listings on the net?

You have 2 companies to choose from, Yahoo Search Marketing and Google AdWords.  Both operate on the basis of whoever pays the most per click, gets to the top of the paid listings.  However, you'll find that position 2 - 3 is the sweet spot that converts, so try and avoid being number 1.\n\nAnother option is to use the Site Targeting feature in Google AdWords.  This feature allows you to pick a site running Google AdSense and have an ad run on that site.  This could be extremely powerful for you and your business as you are on a site specifically about your topic.

What is the area of a 15 by 16 by 18 by 29 by 79 by 13456 polygon?

You can't have a polygon of that size.  A polygon is an object with three or more straight sides.  One property of a polygon is that no one side can be longer than all the other sides added together.  You listed 6 dimensions, implying a six sided polygon.  But since one side is much longer than the other five together, this is not a real object.\n\nTry taking a yardstick and five toothpicks and put them together to make a polygon shape.  It won't work.\n\nIncidentally, even if you gave realistic dimensions, that's not enough information.  Consider this 6-sided object:\n._\n/ .\\n\_/\nand this one:\n||\n||\n||\n\nEven if the sides were all the same length, they have different areas because the angles are different.

I KNOW THAT THE OLDER YOU GET USUALLY THE LONGER YOU CAN GO AND IF I HAVE A FEW BEERS I CAN GO ALL NIGHT.  NOW IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT A MAN WHO NEVER HAS SEX AND DOES NOT MASTERBATE, WELL THAT SPERM IN THE BODY DOES HAVE TO COME OUT. AND USUALLY A MAN WILL HAVE A WET DREAM IN APPROX 30 DAYS TO EXPEL THE OLD SPERM WITH A NEW BATCH.  MOST MEN MAY NOT KNOW THIS BECAUSE MOST MASTURBATE AND NEVER REACH THE WET DREAM TIME FRAME. BUT EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT AND SOME MAY DO IT 10 DAYS SOONER OR LONGER. I HEARD THIS FROM A DOCTOR WHO STUDYS IN THAT FIELD.
