Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the broadest quantitative measure of a nation's total economic activity. More specifically, GDP represents the monetary value of all goods and services produced within a nation's geographic borders over a specified period of time. The Department of Commerce releases GDP data for the U.S. economy on a quarterly basis at 8:30 am EST on the last business day of the next quarter.\n\nThe components used to calculate GDP include:\n\nPersonal Consumption:\n-- Durable goods (items expected to last more than three years)\n-- Nondurable goods (food and clothing)\n-- Services\n\nGovernment Expenditures:\n-- Defense\n-- Roads\n-- Schools\n\nInvestment Spending:\n-- Nonresidential (spending on plants and equipment), Residential (single-family and multi-family homes)\n-- Business inventories\n\nNet Exports:\n-- Exports are added to GDP\n-- Imports are deducted from GDP\n\nA common equation used to calculate GDP is as follows:\nGDP = Consumption + Government Expenditures + Investment +Exports - Imports

Why do males have a higher hematocrit level than females?

Men typically have more muscle mass than females.  These muscles consume a lot of oxygen, which is carried by red blood cells.  More oxygen requirements = more red blood cells.


my heart rufuses totaly refuses to forget tho one i love that does not love me what shall i do to forget him ?

No one said that your heart had to forget him.  Love always keeps a place in our hearts.  The key is for you to accept it for what it was and to move forward.  You can't make someone love you who doesn't and you deserve to go on and be happy and find someone who will love you as much as you love them.


So what exactly is the difference between these Christian denominations?

I'm not really sure about the difference between those denominations.\n\nHowever, as for the question in your additional details, I'm right there with you.  It's SOOO frustrating when I'm trying to help someone, and there are so many other nonsense answers.  As kind of a test, in one of my questions, I gave specific instructions NOT to answer unless you met the qualifications stated.  Most of the answers are somewhat related to the question, but only 2 I think were actually what I was asking for.  So, I would guess that the percentage of those who read the question is only about 10% (maybe less?).\n\nGood luck on educating yourself on the different denominations.  I myself have been interested in this, just haven't had a lot of time to pursue it thought!  God bless!\n\n(edit)\n\nGood news!  I found a website that has some pretty detailed info on different denominations.  \nhttp://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/charts/denominations_practices.htm\nI thought it was pretty accurate from what (little) I know of different denominations.  \n\nHope that helps!

has anyone taken creatine and does it work?

It does work if you ensure that you drink plenty of water, but use caution.... after you discontinue use, even if you continue to lift weights that you will lose muscle size.  Once you start using it, you have to continue using it or lose what you achieved with it.  Here's a tip, use D-Bol and Winni-V.  It is a form of legal steroid.  It is much more expensive, but the affects are much better than that of creatine.

how do you convert decimals of a foot to inches and fractions of an inch?

You multiply the decimals by 12 and the whole number will represent the amount on inches. If there are decimals left from the past result, then multiply these decimals by 8 if you are using the units that divide the inch in 8 parts or multiply them by 16 if you are using the units that divide the inch in 16 parts.


i got it...system of addition  5x-3y=13 4x-3y=11    x=2 and y=1?

If you were to have the equations just as they are then 5x-3y would equal 7 not 13.  And 4x-3y would equal 5 not 11.  So try putting in -1 as y, then it will work out as you have it originally written.


Once you got to the .torrent file link, you need to open it with a "Bit torrent client" program (go ahead, google that! "bit torrent client"...). That "client" will connect to the "server" announced on the .torrent file and download the movie/audio/game/program/file/porn/etc that you were trying to get to play.\nOnce the download reaches 100% you can play back the file.\nMost usually, 700MB on a torrent download take up 6-9 hrs of download.

Your premiums are deducted from your pay on a post-tax basis. This is done so that if you ever make an LTD claim, the benefit will not be taxable. Benefits experts agree that funding the plan with post-tax employee premiums is most advantageous to participants.  Please note that in the past, part of the cost was paid by the participant and part was paid by the employee.  Therfore, in certain cases the LTD benefit is partially taxable for participants already collecting LTD benefits.\n\nEmployees on LTD will be provided with tax reporting forms directly from UNUM.  These forms will indicate the taxable and non-taxable portion of the LTD benefit.

My wife and I have 3 boys, what are the odds that our next child will be a boy?

Actually, the odds are not 50:50.  The chances are 51.4 male to 48.6 female.  So the odds are slighly in favor of a boy.\n\nhttp://www.ourstolenfuture.org/NewScience/reproduction/sexratio/sexratio.htm\n\nAs people have said, the births are not connected so outcome of each event is independent.  So each birth event would seem to have the same likelihood as any other birth event.\n\nHowever, there may be individual factors which are not accounted for in this study.  We have several friends who have all girls.  3 girls in one family, 4 in another. While statistically plausible, and I haven't found any specific studies on this, I'm betting that there are heredity and environmental factors that are involved. Certainly their's some interest in why the birth rates of certain countries deviate significantly from the norm.\n\nHere's another website that talks about ways of modifying your behavior that might increase the odds of a boy or a girl.  It's not scientific but in the quote: "Dr. Moore also notes in his book that selecting a child's gender shouldn?t be taken too seriously, but he thinks using his methods make trying that much more fun."\n\nhttp://preconception.com/resources/articles/tochance.htm\n\nOf course, if you choose to adopt and make a proactive choice of gender (boy or girl), you have a much strongest choice of influencing the odds.

Vargas-Mosley is a bit overhyped. They're both past their prime. Though there's a possibility for the winner to get a title shot sometime, this fight itself probably won't be the battle that everyone's promising. Both are too smart and have learned to much to just start slugging while leaving themselves open to get hit.\n\nLacy and Calzaghe, on the other hand, are at the top right now. They have more of what you could call style, I guess.\n\nBesides, they're going to replay Vargas-Mosley the following week anyway.

should i persue my dream and go to collage for cosmetology?

I think you should do whatever you want to do.Its your life after all,and not your moms.However you really need to research cosmetology and find out what kind of future is in it.You may have the glamerous ideal of it,but not be aware of the reality.There isnt as much money in it as being a lawyer and very few cosmetologists ever make the big bucks.I reccomend u go to occupational outlook and see the salary and other information.Then call up a few cosmotologists and ask questions,explore the career before you decide.

at times I get the urge to cross dress but at other times I loathe what I was doing, how can I get rid of this

You have to look deep inside yourself and determine which is really YOU - the one who cross dresses, or the one who loathes the cross dressing?!\n\nYou may be under the influence of society's stereotype of cross-dressing as a loathesome thing.  But you must decide for yourself.  If you find it loathesome, then you need to stop.  But if you are only "finding it loathesome" because of societal conditioning, perhaps you should try to break free of that.\n\nHow important is cross-dressing to you in the broad scheme of things?  How you dress should not be so important, in my opinion.  But then again, what do I know!?

I see two different possible courses of action for you.  The first is addressing the Consulate of Egypt in which you attempted to get a visa, and ask them to hand your papers back to you.  You should have received an application number.  It will help them locate your papers in case you provide them with such number.  \n\nNow, in case that doesn't work (and it sounds like it won't, given that so far you still haven't got them back), you could try another thing.  You should file a report in the competent authority (depending on the nature of the papers the Egyptian Consulate retained), and in that report you would state that your papers have been lost.  You will be charged for new papers, but you are entitled to having new papers by law, as long as you can prove that they are no longer under your possession.  \n\nBut it's not like you file the report and shazam! - you have your papers.  What I'd sugest you to do is file the report in the nearest police station (don't dial 911 for that!), and then address the specific authorities that issue each of  papers you need.  Be sure to take a copy of the report certifying that you lost the papers.

definition of an atom,electron,neutron,prton?

Atoms are combinations of protons and neutrons with electrons flying around. They form the basic "elements" of matter.\n\nThe nucleus of an atom has protons and neutrons (except for hydrogen which has one proton). There are about the same number of protons and neutrons in each nucleus, although for larger nuclei (like uranium) there are more neutrons.\n\nAll of these particles have a variety of specific characteristics. For example an electron has a negative charge and a proton has a positive charge, while the neutron is neutral. The charge of the proton and electron are identical except for the sign.\n\nProtons and neutrons are both made of quarks. A proton has two "up" quarks and one "down" quark, while the neutron has two "down" quarks and one "up" quark. (The up and down are just names for these two types of quark, there is no physical significance to the name. They could have selected \nChocolate and Vanilla instead.)\n\nProtons and neutrons are almost always described as being composed of three quarks, but there are also gluons running around. Gluons are the particles which control the interaction of quarks within a proton or neutron. They carry the force that binds the three quarks together to form the larger particle.\n\nSo a proton or neutron has three quarks and a cloud of gluons.\n\n(Just as an aside: If one combines a proton and an electron and a neutrino you will get a neutron, but, in the oddness of quantum physics that doesn't mean a neutron is made of these little guys.)\n\nElectrons on the other hand seem to have no consituents, at least down to the level that has been probed with modern instruments.


How the relationship between wife and husbands goes tensed?

It depend on the respect  accorded to marital obligations by the spouse. It also depends on respect shared in the marital home.\nTwo big issues that causes problems in a marital home are finances and sexual obligations. One spouse with holds sex to get what she wants. One spouse with holds finances to get what he wants.\nFor a happy home that need not be tensed there should be trust and respect for marital obligations. A lot of spouses do not know the meaning of marriage. Unfortunately a lot use marriage as a tool for what they want.Essence of marriage is happiness under the foundation of true love. Most marriages are loveless\nI wish any one wishing to marry should first read this book HOW NOT TO MARRY A JERK


hey..i just wanted to know why God put me here?

As human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II tells us that ultimately Jesus Christ is the answer to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, writes: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope adds, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\n\nIn his travels the new pope did not waste time in courageously proclaiming this important aspect of Christ's message: \n\n"In June 1979, during his first trip to Poland as pope, John Paul II made an incredibly bold statement that hammered this point home. In the center of Warsaw's Victory Square, the pope said words that gave heart to the Catholic faithful while sending signals of alarm to the Communist Party leaders: 'To Poland, the Church brought Christ, the key to understanding the great and fundamental reality that is man.' And because Christ is such a great model for our humanity, 'Christ cannot be excluded from human history in any part of the globe, from any latitude or longitude of the earth. Excluding Christ from human history is a sin against humanity'"


Male nipples aren't exactly a genetic glitch: they are evidence of our developmental clock. In the early stages of life from conception until about 14 weeks, all human fetuses look the same, regardless of gender. At the tender age of 14 weeks post-fertilization , genetically-male fetuses begin to produce male hormones including testosterone. These hormones turn the androgynous fetus into a bouncing baby boy. \n\nHere's where the developmental clock comes in. By 14 weeks, when the hormones turn on, the nipples have already formed. So, while our male fetus goes on to become a baby boy, he keeps his nipples, reminding all of us that people, male and female, started off the same way. \n\nIn most men, the nipples really don't change after this point, but some men can develop a condition called gynecomastia. In gynecomastia, the fatty tissue around the nipple develops and eventually appears similar to a female breast. This can occur whenever the testosterone level is lowered by medications, such as those that treat prostate cancer, and by natural hormonal changes due to obesity, adolescence or aging. \n\nLuckily, most of us don't worry too much about male nipples, so men never have to worry about finding swimtrunks and a bikini top that fit.


Can anyone tell me why we use RED carpet at awards,etc.? Is this a forgotten Roman tradition and why?

It's actually an AMERICAN tradition which originated in Hollywood.\n\nThe Red Carpet is part of an illustrious history that began on October 18th 1922, when Sid Grauman opened the Egyptian Theatre. That night, a frenzied crowd of thousands lined the streets to witness the spectacle of bright lights and glamorous celebrities, many hoping to catch a glimpse of Douglas Fairbanks, star of the opening night film, Robin Hood. Even the local press was swept up in the mania. "This night is a most auspicious one for Los Angeles, but it is still more auspicious for Hollywood. It marks Hollywood’s advent from the status of a small town to a city of metropolitan importance, where world premieres are shown," gushed the Hollywood Daily Citizen.\n\nYet despite this unprecedented reaction from the public and the press, neither could have predicted that on that breezy October night in Hollywood, a tradition was being born that would come to personify the glitz and glamour of the movie industry even some 80 years later. This tradition is the red carpet—the magical place where movies, stars, and fans come together in a magnificent celebration of cinema. Whether it be the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, or the countless movie premieres that occur every week in Los Angeles, the red carpet has played host to Hollywood’s biggest and brightest, drawing eager crowds of movie fans from all over the world. Because of its broad appeal and enduring legacy, the red carpet is as alive today as it was all those decades earlier.

what kind of food did the pioneers bring with them?

Food which would not perish easily on long journies,such as smoked fish and pork,salt,coffee,flour,and corn meal.They would suppliment this by hunting wild game,and searching for wild berries along the way.Or fishing in lakes or streams.Many pioneers brought cooking traditions from their native european countries.\n \nJohnnycake a kind of cornbread, was a favorite because it didn't get spoiled on a long trip. They also ate berries,and grapes. Grinding corn was often a job of pioneer boys. They dried the meat and hung it so that it would last longer. They also ate ducks, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, fish, pigs, buffalo, dear, moose, elk, raccoon, beaver, bear, coyote, goat, eggs, bread, fruit, pie, peas, nuts, beans and carrots. They ate apples, pickles, oranges, watermelon, corn, spices, sugar, plums, strawberries, bananas, pineapples, pears, peaches, cheese, and, flour. They also ate wild oinions, butter, and blackberries. Corn was very easy to grow so it was a common food for the pioneers.

Who will be the first woman president in the USA?

That's a good question! I don't think we know her name yet. It won't happen for a few more elections, and will probably be someone that is not in politics yet, or just getting started.

Might be this next election or the one after or the one after that, but I feel that it will happen soon.

U.S. Supreme Court\nHAMMER v. DAGENHART\n 247 U.S. 251 (1918)\nDecided June 3, 1918.\n\nMr. Justice DAY delivered the opinion of the Court. \nA bill was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina by a father in his own behalf and as next friend of his two minor sons, one under the age of fourteen years and the other between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years, employes in a cotton mill at Charlotte, North Carolina, to enjoin the enforcement of the act of Congress intended to prevent interstate commerce in the products of child labor. Act Sept. 1, 1916, 39 Stat. 675.... \nThe attack upon the act rests upon three propositions: First: It is not a regulation of interstate and foreign commerce; second: It contravenes the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution; third: It conflicts with the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. \nThe controlling question for decision is: Is it within the authority of Congress in regulating commerce among the states to prohibit the transportation in interstate commerce of manufactured goods, the product of a factory in which, within thirty days prior to their removal therefrom, children under the age of fourteen have been employed or permitted to work, or children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen years have been employed or permitted to work more than eight hours in any day, or more than six days in any week, or after the hour of 7 o'clock p. m., or before the hour of 6 o'clock a. m.? \nThe power essential to the passage of this act, the government contends, is found in the commerce clause of the Constitution which authorizes Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states. \nIn Gibbons v. Ogdon, Chief Justice Marshall, speaking for this court, and defining the extent and nature of the commerce power, said, 'It is the power to regulate; that is, to prescribe the rule by which commerce is to be governed.' In other words, the power is one to control the means by which commerce is carried on, which is directly the contrary of the assumed right to forbid commerce from moving and thus destroying it as to particular commodities. But it is insisted that adjudged cases in this court establish the doctrine that the power to regulate given to Congress incidentally includes the authority to prohibit the movement of ordinary commodities and therefore that the subject is not open for discussion. The cases demonstrate the contrary. They rest upon the character of the particular subjects dealt with and the fact that the scope of governmental authority, state or national, possessed over them is such that the authority to prohibit is as to them but the exertion of the power to regulate.... \nIn each of these instances the use of interstate transportation was necessary to the accomplishment of harmful results. In other words, although the power over interstate transportation was to regulate, that could only be accomplished by prohibiting the use of the facilities of interstate commerce to effect the evil intended. \nThis element is wanting in the present case. The thing intended to be accomplished by this statute is the denial of the facilities of interstate commerce to those manufacturers in the states who employ children within the prohibited ages. The act in its effect does not regulate transportation among the states, but aims to standardize the ages at which children may be employed in mining and manufacturing within the states. The goods shipped are of themselves harmless. The act permits them to be freely shipped after thirty days from the time of their removal from the factory. When offered for shipment, and before transportation begins, the labor of their production is over, and the mere fact that they were intended for interstate commerce transportation does not make their production subject to federal control under the commerce power. \nCommerce 'consists of intercourse and traffic ... and includes the transportation

i am doing an essay on chidrens' beauty pageants. Any ideas of coming up w/ info? Getting dead end searches.

It would help to know what kind of information you are looking for.  There was an HBO special called "Living Dolls" that followed a couple of children through some of these pageants and the extent their parents would go to to see them win.


Object Oriented databases may be characterized quite simply; they typically represent database systems that integrate tightly with a language with object-oriented features such as C++, Java, or Smalltalk, that allow programs to link data structures to databases in such a way that the data structures trivially become "persistent."\n\nthus once you tie a data structure to the database, you no longer need to be concerned about whether a piece of data is in memory or not. as soon as your program refers to it, the data will be pulled into memory if it is not already there. As soon as your program updates the data, it will be updated into the database.

if we eat genetically modified stuff, then just like those plants, are we going to grow 2 heads or 5 arms?

We break down the tissues/plants in to basic nutrients when we digest it.  However, this is half truth.  We cannot digest chemical or bacterial grown in these food.  This is probably true for any food that uses pesticide or hormone injected in live stock.  The hormone, antibiotic, pesticide doesn't break down easy and end up in our body.\n\nI mean have you noticed kids grow up lot faster these days and everyone is getting stronger shots of antibiotic cuz our body is so used to antibiotic.\n\nStill, it's far from growing 2 heads or 5 arms.  Although I'd like an extra head or an arm at times.

When playing the piano, what are some good techniques to force your hands to play different melodies?

The tried and true system is HANON, the Virtuous Pianist. It seems simplistic when you first try it, but pretty soon it starts getting tricky. The trick is to play it over and over and over, because they're actually like aerobics for your fingers. It guarantees independence of fingers, it says right on the book. Look for it in Amazon or your local B&N.

If a tablet contains 50 mg losartan potassium and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide how many tablets do I take?

Hyzaar(Losartan/hydrochlorothiazide)50mg/12.5mg\n\nDOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION \nHypertension Dosing must be individualized. \nThe usual starting dose of losartan is 50 mg once daily, with 25 mg recommended for patients with intravascular volume depletion (e.g., patients treated with diuretics) and patients with a history of hepatic impairment \n\nLosartan can be administered once or twice daily at total daily doses of 25 to 100 mg. If the antihypertensive effect measured at trough using once-a-day dosing is inadequate, a twice-a-day regimen at the same total daily dose or an increase in dose may give a more satisfactory response. \n\nHydrochlorothiazide is effective in doses of 12.5 to 50 mg once daily and can be given at doses of 12.5 to 25 mg as HYZAAR. To minimize dose-independent side effects, it is usually appropriate to begin combination therapy only after a patient has failed to achieve the desired effect with monotherapy. \n\nThe side effects of losartan are generally rare and apparently independent of dose; those of hydrochlorothiazide are a mixture of dose-dependent (primarily hypokalemia) and dose-independent phenomena (e.g., pancreatitis), the former much more common than the latter.\n\nTherapy with any combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide will be associated with both sets of dose-independent side effects. \n\nReplacement Therapy: The combination may be substituted for the titrated components. \n\nDose Titration by Clinical Effect: A patient whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with losartan monotherapy (see above) or hydrochlorothiazide alone, may be switched to HYZAAR 50-12.5 (losartan 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg) once daily. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after about 3 weeks of therapy, the dose may be increased to two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 (losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily. A patient whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with losartan 100 mg monotherapy (see above) may be switched to HYZAAR 100-12.5 once daily. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after about 3 weeks of therapy, the dose may be increased to two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 (losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily.A patient whose blood pressure is inadequately controlled by 25 mg once daily of hydrochlorothiazide, or is controlled but who experiences hypokalemia with this regimen, may be switched to HYZAAR 50-12.5 (losartan 50 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg) once daily, reducing the dose of hydrochlorothiazide without reducing the overall expected antihypertensive response. The clinical response to HYZAAR 50-12.5 should be subsequently evaluated, and if blood pressure remains uncontrolled after about 3 weeks of therapy, the dose may be increased to two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 (losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily.The usual dose of HYZAAR is one tablet of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily. More than two tablets of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily or more than one tablet of HYZAAR 100-25 once daily is not recommended. The maximal antihypertensive effect is attained about 3 weeks after initiation of therapy.Use in Patients with Renal Impairment: The usual regimens of therapy with HYZAAR may be followed as long as the patient's creatinine clearance is >30 mL/min. In patients with more severe renal impairment, loop diuretics are preferred to thiazides, so HYZAAR is not recommended. \n\nPatients with Hepatic Impairment: HYZAAR is not recommended for titration in patients with hepatic impairment because the appropriate 25 mg starting dose of losartan cannot be given. Severe Hypertension The starting dose of HYZAAR for initial treatment of severe hypertension is one tablet of HYZAAR 50-12.5 once daily (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Effects). For patients who do not respond adequately to HYZAAR 50-12.5 after

what is the right order between floss, brush and moth wash when it comes to moth hygiene?

The order is: floss, brush and then mouth wash.\n\nReason is that floss frees up plaque from between teeth, brush loosens additional plaque, and wash rinses all of the loose particles out, killing bacteria as the final step.

Insurance Why can I get insurance in my own state and they refuse me in another?

I can think of one other reason, if you went from a no fault state to a fault state.  I used to live in PA, a no fault state.  If someone hit you, while you were parked in a lawful place, with the car off, it was still charged against your insurance.  If you moved across the line, to West Virginia, a fault state, they cannot see if you caused the accident or were a victim.  Since it was charged against your insurance, it is a cost they may have to bear since they cannot distinguish who caused it.  It limits litigation, but it also damages your record in fault states.


Who is Descartes? What did he contribute to mathematics?

"Descartes's chief contributions to mathematics were his analytical geometry and his theory of vortices, and it is on his researches in connection with the former of these subjects that his mathematical reputation rests. "\nhttp://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Descartes/RouseBall/RB_Descartes.html\n\n\n"The most notable contribution that Descartes made to mathematics was the systematization of analytic geometry (see Geometry: Analytic Geometry). He was the first mathematician to attempt to classify curves according to the types of equations that produce them. He also made contributions to the theory of equations. Descartes was the first to use the last letters of the alphabet to designate unknown quantities and the first letters to designate known ones. He also invented the method of indices (as in x2) to express the powers of numbers. In addition, he formulated the rule, which is known as Descartes's rule of signs, for finding the number of positive and negative roots for any algebraic equation."\nhttp://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761555262/Rene_Descartes.html\n\n\nDescartes made a number of important contributions to mathematics and physics, among the most enduring of which was his foundation (with Galileo) of what is now known as analytic geometry. That is, broadly speaking, the use of geometrical analysis to solve complex algebraic problems, and vice versa. It is difficult to overestimate the importance for the history of mathematical physics of this bringing together of the sciences of geometry and algebra. \nhttp://www.iep.utm.edu/d/descarte.htm\n\n\n" 'This one thing [analytic geometry] is of the highest order of excellence, marked by the sensuous simplicity of the half dozen or so greatest contributions of all time to mathematics. Descartes remade geometry and made modern geometry possible. '(E. T. Bell) \n\nInventor of analytic and coordinate geometry. Cartesian coordinates. "\nhttp://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Math/Descartes.html

What is longer: the Great Wall of China, or the Dog Fence?

Can't help you with the distance measures. As you say, they vary. Can help you with the second.\n\nThe dog fence isn’t more straightforward, in fact it's even more complicated than the Great Wall. At least the wall was constructed as a single unit with a single purpose, and by one organising body. \n\n\nThe dog fence was constructed as multiple units. It started initially as dozens if not hundreds of property fences. Individual stations would fence out dogs comingin from their neighbours and from adjoining bush. Even more commonly stations would dog-proof their weaning and lambing paddocks, since it was lambs, lambing ewes and weaners that are most vulnerable to dog attack.\n\nSo before anyone even thought of the dog fence we had hundreds of kilometres of dog-proof fence in that part of the world. The longest section was probably no more than 50km on a side and most sections would only be 3 or 4 kilometres to a side. \n\nOver time neighbours realised it was more efficient to join up their dog fencing on a long front rather than trying to fence off individual staions or paddocks. So we started to get many stretches that were hundreds of kilometres in length. But still no dog fence.\n\nThen someone got the idea to make the fenceline 'official' as it were, and extend it between gaps in the existing fenceline. But the official construction was funded in patches, with funding often being dropped for several years at a time. And the fences decay over time, so by the time the fence had been 'officially' constructed all the way to Hughenden the South Australian end was in tatters.\n\nThe fence has been sporadically repaired ever since it was completed, sometimes by state governments, sometimes by local councils, sometimes by landholder groups but usually by individual landholders. But large sections have never been repaired since they were built and now exist only 5 strand wire fence that will stop a sheep or cow, but not a dog. In the worst sections the fence has been quite buried by sand dunes and only the top few inches of the posts stick out in places. Dogs simply walk over the top.\n\nA major source of confusion is that nobody is entirely sure what the official dog fence is or where it runs, The SA and NSW governments both had their own dog fences, but various regional bodies and local governments also had dog fences. All these different fences join up or once joined up, but they also quite often branched and forked. As a result you will sometimes see maps of the dog fence that end at Hughenden in Northwest Queensland and sometimes it ends 100o km in the opposite direction at Jandowae in SouthEast Queensland. Sometimes the other end terminates at Talatal in SE SA, and sometimes at various different stations in NE SA. As a result you will get wildly different answers depending on what sections you wish to include. \n\nTo add to the confusion there were sections of the fence that, due to apathy, environment and administrative oversite were never finished. They exist on the plans but never existed in reality.\n\nThen just to make it worse at various times people have cut corners off the fence or swung it back on itself. In at least one case an entire section of the fence became an island as two stations ran their own fence between their cornerposts across bushland.\n\nThe final confusion factor is due to scaling problems. Have you looked at a map of the fence? It isn't anything like straight, instead it wanders across the countryside like a drunkards walk, following watercourses, property boundaries and old paddock fences. As a result you get totally different figures depending on what scale you measure at. If you simply draw a line from the southwestern to the northeasternost points it’s only about 1000km. But if you were to run a tape measure from post to post along the entire official fenceline it’s over 7000km. I hope that makes some sort of sense. It’s the same problem we get measuring river

what is the best Algorithm for Random Numbers?

Technically generating a random number is absolutly impossible on a computer as there is a finite amount of possible numbers (from a finite amount of space) and so some number must be repeated at some point.  In computer science we define a number random if it meets two criteria:  It has uniform distribution - the frequency of occurance of any number is approximately the same, and independence - no value can be inferred from the others.  The most common algorithm used is based off of time (as your question suggests) and is known as a linear congruential generator originaly devised by Lehmer but it only generates pseudorandom numbers.  This is generated by the formula:\n\nXn+1 = (aXn + c) mod m... where Xn is the nth random number generated, a the multiplies, c the increment, m the modulus.  Note that X0 is the seed... so time.\n\nThe best computational random number generator is known as the blum blum shub generator (yes its a strange name) .  This is based off of some fairly advanced mathmatics but the general idea is that you choose two number p and q such that p is congruent to q is congruent to 3 modulus 4.  then you choose some number s that is relativly prime to n (n = p * q). this is the same as saying niether p nor q is a factor of s.  then we calculate the see from this by squaring s and taking the modulous n of that.  now we run a loop that each time resquares the last number mod n and we steal the most significant digit from each iteration.  This is our random number sequence.\n\nHope this helps and wasnt too technical... I tried to avoid the more complex math.

what kind of advice can you give me about  parent  behavior  in little league baseball?

I agree.  Little League games are all about fun and learning about the game; not all its little nuances and whatnot!  I mean, who cares about doing a shoestring catch in the outfield or laying down a bunt to advance the runners when you're playing Little League with 10-11 yr olds?  Just let them have fun, and play safe, and just teach them the basics if you're a coach.  If they're interested as they get older, they will learn the small trickier stuff.\n\nI used to be an referee, a coach, and a player myself - if parents would just support their kids without ridiculing them for not doing well or not embarrassing themselves (and their kid!) by saying "Oh, he's my son!" every time the kid gets a double or a triple, and just enjoy the game for what it is, root for your team, and buy the kids some ice cream after the game regardless of who wins.  \n\nOh yeah - no yelling at the umpires or the referees!  They're not there to be paid; they do it for free most of the time, and they're human just like you and I.  They do the best they can, too.  Lay off the comments and just thank them for a thankless job well done after the game.

What are the roles of genetics and a person’s environment on obesity?

If I could give a coherent, provable explanation to your question I would not post it here but sell it to on of the many companies that are trying  to produce anti-obesity drugs. \nYour question can at this point of time not be answered, we do not have enough knowledge of either the genetic nor environmental influences on obesity and how they interact. \nThat said, of course there is data on a lot of connections between genetic factors and weight as well as environmental factors and weight in humans.

What is the worst thing Teodore Roosevelt did?

From what I remember from American history, though perhaps my memory fails, he was a very expansionistic president and he would send U.S. troops to places they shouldn't really have been. Perhaps he was the first president to give the impression of the U.S. as a sort of "bully" in this aspect, and even to day the U.S. has problems sending their troops where they don't belong. Overall though, he was one of America's finest presidents I beleive. Hey, nobody's perfect.\n\nYes, I did a quick check and that's right. He called it "New Imperialism."


The Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using a standardized Internet Protocol (IP). It is made up of thousands of smaller commercial, academic, domestic, and government networks. It carries various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks and URLs, and is accessible using the Internet.


RETURN OF SERVE POSITION - - - Where do you stand?

Personally, I use a variety of positions on my serve return.  My first priority is not to let the server beat me down the middle.  If the server moves farther away from the center line, I can focus more on cutting the angle off on an out wide serve.  Most of the time against players with huge serves I try to play the ball deep down the middle or slighty to the backhand side so as not to give my opponent an angle to work with, basically so I can cover the next shot and try to regain a neutral rally.  I will sometimes cheat in during a servers toss on a chip and charge return to place pressure on the server.  If a player has a strong out wide serve, I could play in or back, but the main focus is to allow myself time to regain court position, or play a low slice return making a difficult first ball for the server to attack.  The basic gameplan is not to let the server become comfortable by hitting driving first ball shots off my returns.

How can Sodium Hydroxide test for oxidation number?

Some elements have differing soluability depending on their oxidation state.  If the hydroxide of one oxidation state is insoluable but another oxidation state is soluable, then it would act as a test for oxidation state.\n\nAnother possible way for sodium hydroxide to act as a test for oxidation state is if the element in question has different colors in different oxidation states in basic pH.

can a cofidential informant get into trouble once he has become a informant in the state of virginia?

Little tough to understand exactly what you're asking here.\n\nCan someone, working for the police or not, break the law?  Of course they can.  \n\nAre certain people expected *not* to break the law?  Sure.  And informants are one of those people.  I worked in a narcotics task force for three years and worked with plenty of informants.  Did we tell them they weren't supposed to break the law?  Of course we did.  Did they turn right around and break the law anyway?  I imagine so...most of them are addicts or thieves or just plain crooks and have been most of their lives, why would they suddenly stop just because they've signed on with the home team to become a policeman's helper?\n\nI don't know of any laws on this subject per se...ours was a policy issue; we told the informant to quit screwing up.  Certainly Virginia might have a law on that subject but it seems to me (based on 19 years of policing) that it would be awfully difficult to enforce.  \n\nI'd love to know what makes you ask this question.


When you switch from a temporary service to being permanent with a company, would you expect a raise?

Depends on several factors.  One, are you making the same or less as your permement counterparts with the same amount of seniority (i.e. new).\n\nTwo, did they provide you with a comprehensive benefits package?  If so, include that into your salary as a raise.\n\nIf you make less then your equals, I would question it.


Standard Deviation is a simple measure of how much a list of numbers varies. It quickly tells you how much deviation there is from the average.\n\nThink of the familiar bell curve, the so-called normal curve. It might show how tall students are in your school\n\nAbout 68% of the students will have heights between the 1 standard deviation mark on either side of the central peak -- 34% on the left, and 34% on the right.\n\n68.26% of the area under the curve is within one standard deviation of the mean.\n\n95.45% of the area is within two standard deviations.\n\n99.73% of the area is within three standard deviations.\n\n99.99% of the area is within four standard deviations.\n\nIt is a quick way to explain a large hunk of data!\n\nSo for instance if one standard deviation in your school height list is 1 inch, then you'll know that 68 out of hundred kids are within 1 inch of the central value.

What's the difference between saying that 1 quantity is proportional to another & saying it's equal to another

There are at least two kinds of proportionality:  directly proportional and inversely proportional.  \n\nIf quantity A is directly proportional to quantity B, that means that quantity A divided by quantity B equals a constant number that is not 1.  \n\nIf quantity A is inversely proportional to quantity B, that means that quantity A multiplied by quantity B equals a constant number that is not 1.

http://allergies.about.com/cs/treatment/a/aa040802a.htm\nA saline solution for irrigation is easy to make. To make an isotonic solution (one similar to the salt content of your bodily fluids), mix 1/4-teaspoon salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water and add a pinch (1/4-tsp.) of baking soda. Discard any unused solution.\nYou may chose to use filtered or distilled water if your water contains a lot of chemicals. Table salt can be used, but many prefer to use non-iodized canning or pickling salt.\n\nIf you do not want to make your own solution, you can also purchase sterile saline at your local pharmacy or grocery store. You can find it in the contact lens care section of the store. The purchased solutions, however, do not contain baking soda. Using baking soda improves the mucus-solvent properties of the solution.\n\n\nhttp://www.flatrock.org.nz/topics/lifestyles/consumer_tips_for_salt_use.htm

I tride to bleach my hair but it barely got any lighter i used hydrogen-peroxide any suggestions?

Try using a regular hair dye kit to lighten hair or a product called Sun In a spray that you put on hair and then spend time out side in sun to lighten hair. I have also heard that lemon juice and sunshine wil lighten hair. Peroxide is not good for hair and will cause your hair to dry out and fall out if used in excess.

My boyfriend broke up with me cuz of my self-esteem and cuz i was too jealouse, how do i get him back?

Been there, done that. It's funny how our minds and emotions can ruin a good thing. One thing that I hightly recomend is getting your self esteem up. It's tough, but once you are sure and proud of who you are, you don't loose that. As for getting your ex back. It may or may not happen. Give him his space now, thats is what he wants. If for some reason he also has a change of heart, you 2 can work things out then. But for now, respect his decision. Take care babe, im rooting for ya :)


what ways cant you get recruited by the army?

at what pressure does air become liquid (at room temp)?

The Atmosphere\n\nHow is the atmosphere structured?\nThe atmosphere consists of four distinct layers, which are seperated by a boundaries that end in the suffix "pause". There is a lot of information in the Earth Science Reference Tables page 14. \nTroposphere-This layer of the atmosphere is closest to the earth and 99% of all weather takes place here because most of the water vapor is located here. \nStratosphere-This layer is above the troposphere and contains ozone, which is an important gas, because it absorbs cancer-causing ultra violet rays from the Sun. \nMesosphere-This layer is above the stratosphere. \nThermosphere-This is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. \nEarth Science Reference Table page 14: \nHow do we describe the present condition of the atmosphere?\nThe present condition of the atmosphere is called WEATHER and it is described using observations of temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, cloudiness and precipitation. \nWhat is temperature?\nTemperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance. In other words, the more molecules vibrate within a substance, the higher the temperature. \nMeasurement - There are three scales that measure temperature: CELSIUS, FAHRENHEIT AND KELVIN scales. There is a conversion scale on page 13 of your ESRT. \nMaps - Meteorologists find it useful to map temperatures and they use lines to connect equal temperatures called Isotherms. \nWhat is air pressure and how is it used to predict the weather?\nAir Pressure - Air pressure is also called barometric or atmospheric pressure. By definition, it is the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on the earth. \nBarometer - A barometer is the instrument that measures air pressure and it uses units of millibars (mb) or inches of mercury (inches). \nFactors that affect air pressure:\nTemperature - As the temperature of the air increases, the air pressure decreases, which is an indirect relationship. \nHumidity - As the humidity of the air increases, the air pressure decreases, which is an indirect relationship.\nYou might ask "WHY?": Humid air is lighter than dry air. When water vapor enters dry air, it does not squeeze in between the molecules of air. Instead, the water vapor pushes out many of the air's heaviest molecules like Nitrogen and Oxygen. In other words, lighter molecules of water vapor replace heavier molecules and the result is the air weighs less and therefore has less air pressure. \n\nHigh air pressure - means that the atmosphere is heavy at that location and from our notes above, you can conclude that the air is probably cool and dry (if you are not sure, see notes above). So, if the barometer indicates high pressure or rising air pressure, you can conclude that the weather will be cool and dry. \nLow air pressure - means that the atmosphere is not heavy at that location and from our notes above, you can conclude that the air is probably warm and humid (if you are not sure, see notes above). So, if the barometer indicates low pressure or falling air pressure, you can conclude that the weather will be warmer and humid. \nMaps - Meteorologists find it useful to map air pressure and they use lines to connect equal equal air pressures called Isobars

That would be Marxism.

why do i wake up in the morning really dizzy?

I would suggest trying to get up a little slower.  It is possible that you are jumping out of bed too quickly and blood rushes through your body too quickly.  Also, the reason that it usually accompanies bad dreams is that these dreams create a certain amount of stress and also affect brain waves differently.  This reason could be because you are still thinking of the dream, which changes brain waves.


What is the origin of dreamcatchers? And what do they represent?

Dreamcatchers originated from the Chippewa tribe.  Other Native tribes just picked up on them and started using them.  \n\nThey probably started as a way to soothe the fears of children from nightmares.  You would find them in cribs.   \n\nThe dreamcatcher is supposed to catch the bad dreams.  The bad dreams become the dew and the morning sun essentially dries up the bad dreams making them go away forever.  Not every native person takes stock in their "power" and most view it as a novelity.  You'll mostly find them hanging in pickups in the Southwest.

The first thing you need to know about gaining weight is that it is achieved only by physical conditioning combined with a high-energy (calorie) intake. By consuming a high calorie diet alone, a person will gain fat weight only. Even if the gain improves appearance in the person's own eyes, it is more likely to harm than to benefit health. It is also important for you to take a look at your genetic endowment. For example, if other family members are thin, you probably have inherited a genetic predisposition to thinness. Know that you can alter your physique to a certain extent with diet and weight training, but you should not expect more than what is natural for your body.\n\nMost who are underweight, especially physically active individuals, believe that the best way to gain weight is to eat a high-protein diet. False. Excess protein is just not stored as muscle, so you can forget about converting that extra-double double hamburger into bigger biceps. Since carbohydrates are what fuel your muscles, what you need is primarily extra calories from extra carbohydrates, not extra protein.\n\nRegarding "weight gain shakes," research indicates that protein powder shakes are simply wasted money when it comes to gaining muscle weight. The only reason these may work for some is because the shake provides additional calories. Although it may seem less glamorous, one could just as easily eat another sandwich to get these additional calories.\n\nTo help you with your weight gain goal, here are some healthy weight gain tips:\n\nEat energy-dense foods. Yes, these are the ones typically eliminated in a weight loss program. Pick the highest calorie items from each food group. For example, drink milk shakes instead of nonfat milk, eat peanut butter instead of lean meat, or choose avocados instead of cucumbers. Although a low-fat diet plan is recommended for the general U.S. population, these higher fat foods become essential for an underweight individual who needs to gain weight. An underweight person who is physically active and eating a nutritionally adequate diet can afford a few extra calories from fat. \nEat at least three meals a day. Simply being too busy to eat enough to gain or maintain weight is a common problem for underweight individuals. Therefore, planning meals in advance and making time to eat them needs to become a priority for weight gain to occur. \nEat large portions of food and expect to feel full. Have two sandwiches instead of one, drink milk from a larger glass, and eat cereal from a larger bowl. Know that feeling full during the initial stages of a weight gain meal plan is perfectly normal and will pass over time. \nEat snacks between your meals. In addition to eating more food at each meal, it will be necessary to eat more frequently. These between-meal snacks will likely be especially important in the beginning stages, as they will help to keep your daily caloric intake elevated should you be unable to consume the larger portions during your regularly scheduled meals. \nDrink plenty of juice and milk. Beverages provide an easy way to increase energy intake. Extra calories can even be tastily added to milk by mixing in packets of instant breakfast mixes. \nExercise to build muscle. The person who wants to gain weight should primarily use strength training. As exercise is added to your routine, energy intake must be increased to support that exercise. Otherwise, weight will be lost. Note that the rate at which a person can build muscle tissue also depends on the genetic make-up of that person. However, about 700 to 1,000 calories a day above normal energy needs are enough to support both the exercise and the building of muscle.


How do I effectively prepare for a test?

That depends on the time frame.\n\nIf it is still the beginning of the term, you should already be a pro-active student, meaning you should be willing to study before the topic is discussed, so that you have advanced knowledge and will learn more.\n\nIf the exam is a week from now, you should start studying already, and then approach the teacher for help while it is still early.  Then get a good night's sleep before the exam.\n\nIf the exam is tomorrow and you still haven't studied, you should at least make sure you have the basics down pat.  This is especially true for math and science.  For english, you can read the pre-test handouts (if any) and review your vocabulary stuff.  The rest, you would really need to read up on, especially for social sciences or history.\n\nDuring the exam, what you know, you know.  So if you're stumped, skip the question and move on.  That will allow you to maximize your time.


*sigh*Would dating a guy I like whose dad works with my grandma be bad?

It depends on the person and what goes on, but in most cases I would guess that people worry too much about making something good turn bad that they pass up on the whole good thing entirely.\n\nSometimes you just have to take the risks and hope things turn out alright in the end.

what is the taxonomical identification of a phylum aschelminthes?

"The Aschelminthes (sometimes Aeschelminthes), are closely related to the platyhelminthes and are an obsolete phylum of pseudocoelomate and other similar animals, including as classes the Nematoda, Rotifera, Gastrotricha, Kinorhyncha, and Nematomorpha, and sometimes the Priapulida and Entoprocta. Many of these groups are no longer considered closely related and have been promoted to phyla in their own right. The name is now generally only used as an informal term."


can anybod give me some remedies on how to make ur periods come earlier????

Here's an old trick that may or may not work for you.  You can try taking 1000 mg. of vitamin C a day - plain Vitamin C *without* rose hips added.\n\nVitamin C can cause smooth muscle cramps, which may stimulate uterine contractions, encouraging early mensturation.\n\nNo guarantee that this will work for you, but it's perfectly safe to try as long as you do *not* take the vitamin in a higher dose than 1000 mg a day.  \n\nThis is best used as an incidental thing  - like if you want your period to start a few days earlier one month.  Also, even if it does work for you, your period may only come a day or two earlier than it normally would.


i need to know the whole story of the pepsi company from where it is form and what is it now?

Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina was a pharmacist. Like many pharmacists at the turn of the century he had a soda fountain in his drugstore, where he served his customers refreshing drinks, that he created himself. His most popular beverage was something he called "Brad's drink" made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, pepsin and cola nuts.\n\n"Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola in 1898 after the pepsin and cola nuts used in the recipe. In 1898, Caleb Bradham wisely bought the trade name "Pep Cola" for $100 from a competitor from Newark, New Jersey that had gone broke. The new name was trademarked on June 16th, 1903. Bradham's neighbor, an artist designed the first Pepsi logo and ninety-seven shares of stock for Bradham's new company were issued.\n\nAfter seventeen years of success, Caleb Bradham lost Pepsi Cola. He had gambled on the fluctuations of sugar prices during W.W.I, believing that sugar prices would continue to rise but they fell instead leaving Caleb Bradham with an overpriced sugar inventory. Pepsi Cola went bankrupt in 1923.\n\nIn 1931, Pepsi Cola was bought by the Loft Candy Company Loft president, Charles G. Guth who reformulated the popular soft drink. Guth struggled to make a success of Pepsi and even offered to sell Pepsi to the Coca-Cola company, who refused to offer a bid.\n\nIn 1940, history was made when the first advertising jingle was broadcast nationally. The jingle was "Nickel Nickel" an advertisement for Pepsi Cola that referred to the price of Pepsi and the quantity for that price. "Nickel Nickel" became a hit record and was recorded into fifty-five languages.\n\nIn 1964, Diet Pepsi was introduced.


Does anyone in the world still believe the people in the USA are Free!!!?

When I wake up in the morning in the house that my wife and I own and pay for, I take a shower and put on clothes that I chose and purchased.  I drop off my daughter at the school of my choice.  I go to my office where I conduct my law practice.  I practice the area of law that I want for the clients that I choose.  I drive my own car on the route that I want to take.\n\nIf I don't like what is going on in my city or county, I have the power to do something about it.  I can write in my blog,  I can call the local radio station or the newspaper.  I can even run for office (which I've done) and I have just as good of a chance as anybody else of winning.\n\nSo yeah, I feel pretty free.


Second hand smoke -- my neighbor smokes and it filters up through the vents. Am I or my kids in danger?

Second hand smoke is a known carcinogen.  It is also known to have other effects (increased risk of asthama, reduced immune system, etc.).  And it stinks.\n\nThat said, it is not a higher risk than smoking.  Still, I would try and find a way to deal with it.

It's a date format for 2 digit month, 2 digit day and 4 digit year.  Today, February 20, 2006, would be coded as 02/20/2006.  This is a common US format.  In some parts of the world, it is more common to use DD/MM/YYYY, with the 2 digit day before the 2 digit month.


what does the statement "the farther away we look in distance, the further back in time we look" mean?

Same answer, different explanation.\n\nWhen you look at something, you see light coming from the object (either reflected or generated).  Light takes time to move through space (or air, or any distance through any medium).  So the light you are seeing has come from the object some amount of time ago, and you are looking into the past.\n\nExample:  Light takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth from the Sun.  So anytime you look at the Sun (which you shouldn't do), you are seeing it as it existed 8 minutes ago!  In the past!  If it were to dissapear, we would not know for a full 8 minutes, as there is still light on the way to us from it!\n\nOnce you start looking outside our solar system, the time it takes light to get to us changes from hours/mintes, to years/centuries/melinia!  Then you are truly looking into the distant past, seeing things as they were thousands of years ago.


How may Atom Bombs have been made by Israel up to this date?

http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/israel/nuke/\n\nThis is an estimate of the size of the nuclear program of Israel up to 2000; the text is in the Federation of  American Scientists site. The number in the graph shows something around 200 !\n\nMind you that the text cites that in the Yom Kipur war probably around 13-14 atomic bombs were build. Apparently, none of them were used, since the war was using only conventional weapons.\n\nWe all know that only two atomic bombs were used in history though, both of them in Japan by the american army.

how can u ask a guy out w/out enbaracing urself...8th grader?

First talk to his friends or if you don't know them get your best friend to talk to him for you...find out who he likes. If he likes you, there's no need to be embarassed b/c he won't turn you down.
