It all depends on the person. Whats special for them.

how do I get rid of tinea - versicolor (fungus) that shows up when  i tan?

bathe your body with a "dandruff" shampoo like Selsun Blue or Head and Shoulders for about two weeks.  Make sure you let the shampoo sit on your skin for five minutes or so.  You usually do not need medication.  If this doesn't work, you can buy a big tube of Lamisil or Lotramin and use this cream on the affected areas of your body twice a day for a couple of weeks.  Tinea versicolor is caused by weak bugs and is usually easy to kill.  Happy Hunting!

still bitter with your past relationship? what should you do?

It depends a lot on what happened at the end, if it was your first relationship, was it "true love," etc. Also, (this may sound sexist) but boys and girls look at breakups differently.\n\nAs a boy, I didn't really get over my "first" for a long time. The first month was the hardest, and I still thought about her for years afterwards. From her point of view, she went out of her way to try and hurt me, leaving pictures of herself with other guys in my locker, flirting with other guys at parties, even taking advantage of some poor sap to go to the same prom as me.\n\nWhat I later learned is that girls and guys look at breaking up totally differently, and what she did was her way of dealing with it.\n\nIn my opinion, time is the only way to get over it. Try to find other hobbies and friends. Try not to do the same things you did before, but find new things to do.


How do I recover lost files on a crashed disk?

OK. I'll tell you a real way to do it, but only if you vote for me as the best answer...\n\nFirst of all. Norton utilities is only capable of recovering files that were deleted. It is not capable of recovering files from a crashed disk. I would not take your hard drive to a data recovery center either because it costs at minimum $700 to do so. But if you have homework, business documents, videos, and music on your drive that price might not be so bad. \n\nOK for real though. You should invest in data recovery software. Data recovery software is capable of recovering your old files from a crashed drive and even a drive that has been accidentally formatted and completely erased. When a hard drive crashes usually only the boot sector is damaged and all of your files that you had are still there in one piece. The problem is that they can not be read by the operating system and can also not be read by another drive with a separate operating system because the boot sector on the drive with your files is still damaged and won't load the hard drive properly. When a hard drive is formatted all of your files are still there. They are just marked as deleted. So unless you drop kick your hard drive and smash it into a million pieces you should easily be able to recover deleted files from a crashed or formatted drive with personal recovery software which only costs about $30.\n\nThe best commercially available recovery software that I have run into to date is made by Stompsoft. The data recovery software is known as Recover Lost Data. It is extremely simple to use. After Recover Lost Data scans your failed hard drive it will reconstruct all of your files and folders just as you would normally see them in windows when in your C: drive. All you have to do then is copy the files to an alternate drive that is the same size or larger than the failed drive (assuming the failed drive was being used at maximum capacity).\n\nGood luck.\nBrad\ninspection338@yahoo.com

WHY CAN'T THE WORLD SEE THAT WE AS THE AVERAGE JOE ARE BEING ROBBED BY OUR OWN POLititionS?

I think that a lot of people see it. There aren't many choices given for our votes...Most of the candidates are very lame, from both sides. And another problem is the fact that what makes a person a good polition sometimes makes them a very acomplished liar. I would give bush as an example of this. Actually, I take that back, he has an entire team that creates his particular portable dream environment. Karl rove and co. The average joe needs to get organised and create strength through a populist movement. These theives only have the power to take from us because we give it too them. It is still we the people in this country and it seems that most people have forgotten that fact. Everyone is too busy playing the games that were meant to divide us so that we may be conquered by the money changers.

Has anyone every tried the phen-pro diet plan?  If so, how much weight did you lose in how long?

i haven't, but be careful.  i'm assuming that the "pro" is prozac?  if so, this is very similar to the fen-phen diet, and there were some serious complications with that one (as you probably know).  make sure your doctor is a real doctor..ask for references if necessary.  make sure you see the "doctor" every time..not just some medical assistant.  and make sure they know what they're doing.  you would be much better off just watching your diet and exercising.

what is the statute of limitations on non-violent crimes in Illinois?

Certain laws have no time limit regarding their prosecution. They are first degree murder, attempt to commit first degree murder, second degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, concealment of homicidal death, treason, arson, aggravated arson and forgery. The time limitations for other charges vary depending on the punishment and type of offense.\n\nA prosecution may be commenced at any time for any offense involving sexual conduct or sexual penetration as defined by Section 12-12 in which the DNA profile of the offender is obtained and entered into a DNA database within 10 years after the commission of the offense and the identity of the offender is unknown after a diligent investigation by law enforcement authorities. This applies only if the victim reported the offense to law enforcement authorities within 2 years after the commission of the offense unless a longer period for reporting the offense to law enforcement authorities is provided in Section 3-6 or if the victim is murdered during the course of the offense or \ndies within 2 years after the commission of the offense.\n\nFelony prosecutions must be commenced within three (3) years from the date the offense was committed. For misdemeanor offenses, the State has one (1) year and six (6) months from the commission of the offense to bring a charge against a defendant. A statute describing an offense may state a different time limitation from these general rules.\n\nIn a theft case, the statute of limitations begins to run at the time of the original taking of the property even though the defendant continues to exert control over the property.\n\nA prosecution for attempt to commit first degree murder may be commenced within seven years after commission of the offense.


What is "Restless Legs Syndrome"? What causes it? How do you control it? Is it dangerous?

RLS is a poorly understood and often misdiagnosed neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant or painful sensations in the body's extremities and an overwhelming urge to move them.\n\nIt is believed to be genetic.\n\nAntidepressents, antipsychotics and antihistamines can cause the condition as well.\n\nMarijuana, a low-fat diet and prescription drugs can help. If it is really severe, consult a physician who can hook you up with a dopamine agonist or anti-convulsant.\n\nIt's not dangerous, but it can be annoying and irritating. If it is an issue with you, than you can go about treating it if you deem the problem that bad.\n\nYou're not gonna die from it, bottom line.

Should education  be a lifelong pursuit?

Yes, it should and I can firmly say that.\n\n1st of all, it is a natural law that when a body/system is not used or trained, it will degrade with time-- evolution theory, disabled people body proportion, etc. Same thing as our brain. The better it works, the better the rest of the system should work. Mind & Body spirit!\n\nNot only to keep our mind healthy, but i believe by lifelong pursuit of education, one would be more knowledgeable, have more experiences, challenged mentally... therefore life will be more meaningful.\n\nAlso, seeing what's happening around us as a term of education could be considered in this issue as well. Nature is our greatest teacher. Environment, community, experiences can all be media to educate ourselves.\n\n\nCheers\n\n*tika*

how can i best market my soft furnishing items?

Do you have a website, if not you should look into getting on and outting photos of your decoration online? A catalog to send to anyone that inquires after your work? what methods have you been using for marketing your business?  I am recommending a marketing book by Shel Horowitz as well as some articles I believe will be of help.  Another thing I suggest is to visit SCORE.org.  There you can search for a score counselor that has experience in the field of Decor and set up an appointment at your local chapter or simply communicate via email.  It is a free service as it's run by retired executives and business owners.\n\nGood luck


Can a person file another person in a common law marriage?

The best thing is to wait until you're married. Okay, enough on the parent speech. The most importantthing about sex is to learn what makes your partner happy. It changes from person to person so its not about what you know, its more about what you're willing to do in conjunction with what your personal likes are.

sudden totoal hearing loss in rihgt ear seemenly after taking piroxicam 20mg 2 days?

Any sudden hearing loss should be evaluated by an Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose & Throat) ASAP - the sooner you treat it, the more effective treatment will be.  Be as detailed as possible with your history and symptoms, especially medications, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus (noises in the ear).\n\nThe Piroxicam website says to contact your physician immediately if you experience ringing in your ears, but doesn't mention hearing loss:\nhttp://www.piroxicam.com/product_info_7.htm\n\nPotential causes could be an unrelated build-up of ear wax, or fluid in the middle-ear space behind the ear drum; or it could be an inner ear problem which may require antibiotic and/or steroid treatment.  \n**Again, it is crucial to get a prompt, accurate diagnosis, so see and Ear Specialist and make sure the evaluation includes a complete audiological evaluation to aid in diagnosis, and compare after treatment.**  \n\nCall your primary doctor and/or insurance company to find a specialist in your area that participates with your insurance, and call around to find one who can see you tomorrow morning, if at all possible.  Good luck, I hope you feel better soon!

Why do most of us guys in the U.S. show little emotion ?Is it a cultural thing or simply a guy thing?

I don't think it's cultural, because we have many different cultures living in the United States. It's family environment and society. Dads teach their sons what their dads taught them and so on. Have you ever heard a dad tell their 3 or 4 year old boy not to cry, because he was a "big boy", or stop crying you sound like a girl. After decades of conditioning it becomes wide spread throughout society. The next thing you know we have men not showing their emotional side, but I do believe men have deep emotions they just have been conditoned not to show it, if they do society may see them as being weak.

While I am a Republican, I know many Democrats who have a decent moral compass. The majority of them seem to care quite a bit about the issues you mentioned. I think you answered your own question correctly when you mentioned the Golden Rule. That is a moral code that is easy to understand and apply to real life, yet does not require God (although yes, there are religious Democrats). \n\nHowever, to be honest I know many Democrats (and even people too far *left* to be Democrats) who fail to comprehend morality, and have a morally relativistic "everything goes" code of ethics, and who cannot tell the difference between the minor sins of the US during the Cold War or the War on Terror versus the horrific people who oppose us. (For example, the Abu Graib prison scandal: Yes, clearly it shouldn't have happened, but the people on the other side of this conflict do *much* worse, and never even acknowledge that what they did was wrong--and yet many on the left treat hacking someone's head off with a knife as the equivelent of what happened in Abu Graib... That's pretty good evidence of a lack of a moral compass.) \n\nThe greatest difficulty in answering this question is that, with only (effectively) two political parties in the US, and most people in one or the other, there is no way to answer for such a large portion of the populace. Democrats are perhaps 40% of the population; no doubt with so many in that group there are a whole slew of different moral codes and reasoning among them. This is true for Repubicans too.

You also don't know if she found somebody else and this could be a possibility.  Please try to move on and consider this a blessing in disguise.  It's better that you found out sooner than later.

My upper ankle, lower shin hurts after running, could it be my shoes or what else? (just front of leg)?

It's most probably shin splints.  From my own experiences, it could be caused by overusing a pair of sneakers, doing too much running on a harder surface when switching from a softer one, or running much harder than I'm used to.  When I got them, the only way to make them go away (as much as I hated it) was to rest my legs for a week or two until the pain was completely gone, and then slowly start up again.

I would like to hear any comments, or concerns about gastric bypass.?

I had Gastric Banding - Something else you might want to look into....when I first started my journey my gyno said Bypass but after I talked to my general doctor he gave me information on the gastric banding.  It is not as drastic as the bypass but you still get and see the results - It is a personal decision that you need to make and discuss with your doctors.  Yes www.obesityhelp.com is a great site for research and peoples stories of success - don't get me wrong there are some people that this is not successful for them or to the worst extreme they do die.  But this is how I looked at it - I am slowly dieing being 400lbs right now - at least I am trying to make myself better.  Talk it over with your doctors, family and others who have had it done.  Most doctors now will have seminars.  Good Luck!  By the way - I am down 60 lbs and able to walk not just to my car anymore - but I can walk up to a couple of miles.


Did geting out of the military or retiring ruin or hinder your marriage?

Retired last year and things started to go bad. She was use to me being gone either to work or on deployment and she had her time and could do things she wanted when she wanted. Once I retired, I was around alot. This changed her life too. We were able to recover our marriage when I began doing volunteer work with the American Legion and the local Boy Scout Council. This got me out of her hair a few hours a day and she sometimes goes with me on campout or to Legion events. Thankfully things are going well again.


Is it possible a magnet can only have one pole?

No\n\nThe reason this has\nnever happened is due to the source of magnetic fields:  moving electric\ncharges.  When electric charges (e.g. electrons) move in circles, they\nproduce a magnetic field.  In a piece of iron, it is very easy to line up\nthese circles, getting all the little magnets to work together as one big\nmagnet.\n\nFor each of these circles, one side is the north pole and one side is the\nsouth pole.  Since each circle has two sides, each circle has a north and a\nsouth pole.  Even the smallest possible magnets (spinning electrons) have a\nnorth and a south pole.


In modern usage, civil engineering is a broad field of engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. Most civil engineering today deals with roads, structures, water supply, sewer, flood control and traffic. In essence civil engineering is the profession which makes the world a more habitable place to live.\n\nEngineering has developed from observations of the ways natural and constructed systems react and from the development of empirical equations that provide bases for design. Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. In fact, engineering was once divided into only two fields--military and civil. Civil engineering is still an umbrella field comprised of many related specialties.

Would you be for or against the government deporting illegal immigrants?

Teddy Roosevelt said this many years ago and I beleive it is still very true today. I think that anyone should be welcomed to America so long as they respect American values. What language a person chooses to speak in their own homes is their choice, but every should AT LEAST know how to speak English and be able to navigate their way around the country without us having to post everything in several languages for them. \n\nMr. Roosevelt said the following in 1919.  What do you think?\n\n"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...\n\nThere can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."\n\n--Theodore Roosevelt, 1919


How do you simulate Poisson distribution of request generation on C ?

The easiest way to generate random number from a given distribution is to generate a uniform (0,1) random number; then compute the inverse cummulative probability function from that number:\nLet u be a uniform random number\nthen, x=Pinv(u,l) distributes Poisson if Pinv stands for the inverse function of the cummulative poisson distribution.\nIt's not relevant what language you use for programming

Why is Brittany Spears so unappealing now?

She isn't appealing now because of the way she presents herself. She got married to Kevin which was the start. Now she hasn't produced any more good music. No one really cares now. A lot of fans have ditched her because of the reputation. She should really try to make something of herself and clean herself up and then I think some people would be happy with her again.


Does anyone know a really good method that can help eyes to be able to see better?

Carrots and stuff rich in betacarrotin also eye excersizes....eyes are a muscle and like any muscle they can be improved! exsercise your eyes just by looking up and down or left and right like 10 minutes or so a day and start wearing your glasses and contact lenses less. If you wear them, your eyes become dependent, and you have to ween them away. Good luck!

This is an extremely difficult question to poise at this term given the current state of the NBA.  Are there any dominant players around?  Any players that are dominant on both the defensive as well as offensive side of the ball?\n\nI started to go with my favorite team's star, Tim Duncan, ala the Big Fundamental.  Certainly an argument can be made for Duncan based on some of his NBA league stats this season:\n#5 rebounds/game\n#12 blocks/game\n#4 double-doubles\n#14 in the NBA in Efficiency Ranking\n\nDuncan's scoring a down this season, 18.8 ppg (a career low), but this can be attributed to a well balanced Spurs team (with scorers Tony Parker, Manu Ginobilli, and Michael Finley on board).  But, while I give a lot of credit to Duncan, and probably would still select him as the one player I'd build a team around.  Though I'll have to go with someone else, currently, as the best player in the NBA.\n\nI'd go with Kevin Garnett as presently the most complete, best all-around player in the NBA.  Garnett ranks, in the NBA:\n#15 points per game\n#8 field goal percentage\n#16 free throws made\n#1 double-doubles\n#1 in the NBA in Efficiency Ranking\n\nGarnett's size mixed with his athletic and basketball ability makes him arguably one of the best players in basketball today.\n\nI see LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as players on the cusp of challenging for best player in the league.

do you have any good money saving tips ?  i am a single mother and would appreciate any good tips you have.?

Pay yourself first! No matter the source of your income, put 10% after taxes into some sort of savings program, preferably a ROTH IRA. Then be strong and don't touch it. You'll be surprised how quickly it can mount up. Even if you can't make the 10%, save something!\n\nLook for bargains but don't sacrifice quality. \nUse coupons.\nConserve utilities.\nDo you really need that cable TV and cell phone? They are expensive.\nLook for plans that are in tune with your lifestyle. If you have to have that cell phone, are you paying for roaming, long distance or minutes you don't use?\nLook into pro-rated utility charges.\nRead a book instead of the movies.\nListen to the radio instead of that new CD.\n\nJust some thoughts...Good luck.\n\nThanks sk8trzmom

i have holes in two of my teeth ...can brushing help in any way?

Well depending on the severity of the holes you either need a simple filling or a root canal and a crown (they grind down most of your tooth and put a cap on it). Crowns are very expensive, but if your tooth decay is advanced you can't afford to wait as it negatively effect the rest of your health dental and otherwise. Heart disease is just one example.\n\nIf you don't have dental insurance, check into getting it cheaply or look into area dental schools which may provide service cheap as they teach their dental students. Many dentists will also work out a payment plan with you. And as bad is this sounds, if you are broke, shop for a dentist in the "poor" side of town since they are generally 50% cheaper then other dentists.


We find love when we give of ourselves.  (And please don't confuse romance and sex with true love.)  Get out there and find people in need, someone who is lonely and needs a friend, get outside and enjoy the beauty in the world God has created in nature, the flowers, the animals, humans.  Eventually someone will see the inner beauty in you because when we give of ourselves, it changes us, and what we are changed into becomes very attractive to others.  In the meantime, when we give to those in need, we usually receive much more love than we gave.

Who discovered Williams Syndrome and When?

In 1993, Dr. Morris and collaborators discovered that Williams syndrome is the result of deletion of the elastin gene on one of the number 7 chromosomes. This deletion usually occurs sporadically. Individuals who have the deletion, however, have a 50% chance of passing that deletion on to their offspring.


i really want money,have any advises?im turning 14?


It binds to a specific sequence of the gene. If the gene is present, it will bind, if not, it will not bind. Usually the probe also has a fluorescence end, therefore you can use a light to show that it did bind or not.

what is project management for IT professional?

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.  It focused on the management processes, rather than on the technical content of a project.\n\nIt sounds like you're referring to a course description, which is probably a project management course targeted at IT professionals.  While project management skills are not industry-specific, a course with a title like this probably draws heavily on case studies and examples from IT, and discusses some of the unique challenges of managing IT projects.

My son is a math whiz.  He is flunking out of school because he is bored.  need-find school with scholarship?

I think one solution might be for your son to simply get his GED. This will allow your son to be able to finish high school, and then he can possibly start college sooner. And by doing that, I am sure that any college will have a math class high enough to challenge him.\n\nI know that my high school allows students to take classes at the Community College near by for free. You could talk with a counselor at your son's high school and see if they offer a similar program. By doing that, your son could take a math class at the college and not be so bored. It also gives him both credit for high school, and for college. Which is an added bonus. \n\nThe best of luck to you, and if you have any other questions about what I've suggested, feel free to email me at prettyladykatt@yahoo.com

Anyone transcend to the Astral Plane?  Seriously?

In the early 20th century, some philosophers decided that dreams were when the spirit left the body and walked (or flew, fell, saw etc.) on the Astral Plane.  I believe that conscious transcending is possible.  It's in that space when you're still awake, but about to fall asleep.  Where your thoughts affect your dreams, but dreams still come unheeded.  Try this.  Get really tired.  Then sit down in a chair, on the couch, anywhere you can fall asleep sitting up.  Place a metal bowl in your lap and some sort of metal ball or large bolt/nut in each hand.  The point is this:  When you close your eyes, you consciously enter the Plane, but once you start to fall asleep the ball falls out of your hand into the bowl.  This creates a sound that pulls you out of your sleep.  Then you start over.  Practice enough and you won't need the balls and bowl.  You will be able to do it whenever you are tired, and later anytime you want.  Congratulations.  You've just learned how to Transcedentally meditate.

Can you become addicted to over the counter sinus pills?

I know that a lot of sinus meds include a drug that is a derivative of speed. Usually any drug that has the letters\n-amine or -aphetamine listed on the end of the drug name has a chemical substance that "speeds" you up or can cause you to experience jitters, racing of the heart, and inability to slow/calm down. \nA pharmacist once told me that sinus medications can make people feel a little euphoric and are therefore abused when the abuser cant get anything else that will make them feel "higher". \nI think that people can become mentally addicted to just about anything, but phyiscally addicted is another thing.\nOne thing is for sure, taking more medication than recommended, either prescribed or over the counter WILL cause damage to your body in some way, shape, or form.

Why did the bibile cease being written?  And why do we believe there were people divinely inspired to write it

The Bible was intended to get people into a relationship with G-d.\nThe author of a book is greater than the book he wrote. In the same way, G-d is greater than the Bible.\nThe Bible is a tool to help us get in touch with G-d, & to help us know Him & His ways.\nAs you enter into a personal relationship with Him, He begins directing you...guiding you...relating to & with you.\nYour life begins to become a 'living book' that He's in the process of writing, on a daily basis. Folks begin to look at you...and see Him in you!\nThe book of Acts has not ended. We are living it.\nThe Bible was written as a way for G-d to show us His love. It starts & ends with Him in control. And if we choose; we can join Him.\nWe need boundaries to exist. We use the Bible as a guide to help us measure things like truth & deception; good from bad; life from death. G-d had to reveal His will to mankind, & He did that through the Jewish prophets. He is still speaking to people all over the world today. Learning to listen to Him is an art. \nAlthough the Bible, as a book, has a beginning & an end, we can become people of that Book. In accepting It & living by Its' standards, our lives become the pages on which G-d continues to write.

i am class VIII student  please explain what is optimist and truthfullness?

Truthfulness is telling the truth.\n\nOptimism, the opposite of pessimism, exemplifies a lifeview where one looks upon the world as a positive place. Optimists generally believe that people and events are inherently good. They have a so-called "positive" outlook on life, believing that things will work out in the end. A common conundrum illustrates optimism versus pessimism with the question, does one regard a given glass of water as half full or as half empty? Conventional wisdom expects optimists to reply with half full and pessimists to respond with half empty.\n\nPhilosophers often link the concept of optimism with the name of Gottfried Leibniz, who held that we live in the "best of all possible worlds," a theodicy which Voltaire famously mocked in his satirical novel Candide. The philosophical pessimism of, for instance, Arthur Schopenhauer, provides an opposite pole to philosophical optimism.\n\nThe anarchist philosopher William Godwin demonstrated perhaps even more optimism than Leibniz. He hoped that society would eventually reach the state where calm reason would replace all violence and force, that mind could eventually make matter subservient to it, and that intelligence could discover the secret of immortality. (Some express surprise to learn that a freedom-loving anarchist like William Godwin disapproved of suicide, but his disapproval came from his optimistic view of suicide as almost always a mistake.)\n\nOveroptimism, or strong optimism, is the overarching mental state wherein people believe that things will more likely go well for them than go badly. Compare this with the valence effect of prediction, a tendency for people to overestimate the likelihood of good things happening rather than bad things.\n\nPersonal optimism correlates strongly with self-esteem, with psychological well-being and with personal health. Martin Seligman, in researching this area, criticises academics for focusing too much on causes for pessimism and not enough on optimism. He points out that in the last three decades of the 20th century journals published 46,000 psychological papers on depression and only 400 on joy.\n\nIdeologically convinced optimists may defend failures in their hoped-for outcomes by discussing "misplaced optimism" rather than abandoning optimism altogether.\n\nA number of scholars have suggested that, although optimism and pessimism might seem like opposites, in psychological terms they do not function in this way. Having more of one does not mean you have less of the other. The factors that reduce one do not necessarily increase the other. On many occasions in life we need both in equal supply. Antonio Gramsci famously called for "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will": the one the spur to action, the other the resilience to believe that such action will result in meaningful change even in the face of adversity.\n\nHope can become a force for social change when it combines optimism and pessimism in healthy proportions. John Braithwaite, an academic at the Australian National University, suggests that in modern society we undervalue hope because we wrongly think of it as a choice between hopefulness and naivity as opposed to scepticism and realism.

Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

If all of us Americans moved to Mexico do you think al the mexicans would come back or stay here?

come back, because Americans are the industry and without us they wont thrive. they will become immigrants of their own country hahaha that is funny stuff!!!


I definitely avoid this. It's the Chivalry thing (again), yes, but it's also showing respect. If a person, particularly one of the fairer sex, wishes you to know their age, they'll generally tell you. If not, it's better not to guess. \n\nHowever, if for some reason I was determined to play Sherlock Holmes (one of my childhood heroes) and deduce this for myself, I should look closely around the eyes, not just in the eyes themselves. Her hands would also prove pretty revealing. And of course, there's always body language. \n\nBTW, why do you ask?


I find the best motivation for exercise is to start just that once. Activity begets activity and once I get back into things I am more enhtusiastic about exercise and I find it more enjoyable.\nAnother suggestion is to get a workout / exercise partner. If you have made a commitment to somebody else you're more likely to stick to it than if you are only letting yourslef down. Arrange to meet a friend for a walk or a game of something or a gym workout. You can be social as well as fit.\n\nGood luck


In every WW2 movies we only see allies doing nice work why? They did killed many civilians.?

how can i loose my weight fast in 1 month right now my weight is 85 my goal weight is 60?

Nothing (healthy and safe) can make you loose 25kg in 1 month! You can only safely loose about 5-10kg in a month or you will upset your body's balance. Btw you mean you are 85kg right? Not 85lbs.

my husband of 20 yeras has become very moody, angry one day, happy the next, wont talk to me for wks???

It is possible for manic depression (bipolar disorder) to be your husbands case. The disorder affects .8% of every 100 people. In manic depression, there are two phases: first, is the mania phase. It is characterized by overconfidence, racing thougts, recklessness, and the need for little sleep. The second phase is the drpessive phase. It is the phase in which your husband may feel worthless, helpless, lose interest in normally pleasurable activities, sleep a lot, and think about death. The two phases will alternate extemporaneously: one moment he might be really happy, and the next he might be really down. Whatever the case, he needs to see a therapist or a psychologist. Things could get pretty nasty and detrimental.


It's not a good idea to download smileys from Internet advertising.  The free software comes with a mess of spyware and advertising.  If something that is advertised is "free", there is usually a reason.  In the case of the smiley's ad, it's adware companies that are paying for the ad and "giving smileys away free" as a ploy to get you to download the sister software.  It's in the fine print of the agreement you approve on the install.

Nightfall is the period between afternoon and nighttime. It has many synonyms:\n\ndusk, eve, evening, eventide, gloaming, twilight, even (arch), vesper (from the evening star, Venus which was called Vesper), evenfall, fall, crepuscule, etc. \n\nActually, the sun is already lower than the horizon when we see the last rays of the sun, because of the refraction of the light by the atmosphere. So the day actually appears longer because of this refraction phenomenon.

Great question! She's quoting the bible (To relate to the religious right), and defending illegal immigrants (to relate to the bleeding heart left). \n\nIts a scam my friend. Its to try to get as much of the left and the right as possible to be on her side before she annouces her candidacy. \n\nI think, hopefully, that it will backfire. It'll probably be like President Bush is now. The left can't stand him, because.. they're the left. And the right is having a hard time getting behind the man because of his immigration policy - or lack there of. \n\nIt'll be an interesting race.


what issues and causes was edgar allan poe interested in?

I would say that betrayal and revenge are consistent in Poe's work.  I'm thinking of The Masque Of The Red Death, The Cask Of Amontillado, and The Tell-Tale Heart.\nDeath would be the issue.  Revenge being the cause.  In the Red Death, the revenge is quite ironic, as it is lower and middle class society exacting its revenge on the upper-class.  At least that's how I see it.


well 1st thing hii,ok am going to tell you about ur relation with cancer:\nAries and Cancer\n\nWhen Aries and Cancer come together in a love affair, it's a case of opposites attracting. Aries is rash and brash while Cancer is sensitive and emotional. Aries can certainly be emotional -- in a fiery, impetuous way that can completely overwhelm Cancer. Even though Cancer usually likes to take time with relationships, Aries's whirlwind approach can be extremely stimulating. Aries, on the other hand, may find the Cancerian sensitivity appealing; it's a good balance for the typical Aries bluntness. Troubles may arise if Cancer's mood swings or Aries's aggression becomes hurtful. Both Signs must take time to listen to their partner's needs and understand that they're coming from different directions to meet a common goal. \n\nCancer is the Sign of Home while Aries is the Sign of Self. One great dynamic between these two is that both Signs are extremely protective of those they love. Cancer uses that Crab shell to draw around themselves and their family and mate when trouble is near, while the Ram uses their strength and bravery, like a knight in shining armor. Cancer also provides Aries with a happy domestic life and emotional security. Sometimes they might build an idealized image of their Aries partner or be overly possessive, which can really grate on independent Aries. However, Aries can help by reassuring their Cancer partner that they are loved and cherished. Aries really needs to learn to listen to Cancer: the Crab operates on an instinctive level and their advice can help Aries avoid making silly mistakes caused by that typical Aries lack of planning. \n\nAries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Cancer is ruled by the emotional Moon. Mars was the God of War, and Aries is a soldier meeting every challenge head-on. Aries's open, passionate nature appeals to Cancer, who often internalizes emotions and feelings. Cancer can have intense, feminine energy and Aries can help them learn to release it. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; similarly, Cancer works behind the scenes (while Aries rushes into battle). Cancer tends to be sentimental and can teach Aries to slow down and appreciate life instead of always rushing on to the next thing.


You owe them money because your tax liability was more than you paid in. It sounds like you may need to lessen your exemptions down to 1 or 0 if you can. That way, they'll take more out during the year and you should be covered on next years taxes. No, you didn't do anything wrong-this happens to people every year, especially if you live at home with parents or someone else who can claim head of household. Same thing used to happen to me every year when I lived at home. Start saving money, you have no choice but to pay it!\n\nUpdate:\nYou did live with someone else in the year that these taxes are for, so you can't claim a sole provider status, which is what I was trying to say. If you don't pay the money by the 15th, then you start getting into late fees and interest penalties, so they get more money out of you in the long wrong. Try to contact them and work something out.

Just got tested for allergies. Allergic to beef but not veal. How can that be, same animal???

Beef and Veal are raised in a very different fashion. \n\nVeal calves are not exposed to sunlight or given any form of Iron (Fe) which causes the meat to turn red (as below after exposure to air) and the animal is not exercised and is very young.\n\nOxygen is delivered to muscles by the red cells in the blood. One of the proteins in meat, myoglobin, holds the oxygen in the muscle. The amount of myoglobin in animal muscles determines the color of meat. Beef is called a "red" meat because it contains more myoglobin than chicken or fish.\n\nYou are what you eat extends to animals, therefor a hypothesis could be made that you are what they eat.\n\nI suggest this road as an exploration into why you react differently to the same specie.\n\nAntibiotics, grain, grass, Selenium (Se), and so on and so forth all contribute to this complexity.\n\nOr just chuck it all and have a veal burger.

Are there dangers in operating a Tesla coil indoors?

It can be.  The electrical arcs will be searching out a potential path to ground, which may be anything conductive within reach of the discharge surface.   Watched a demonstration of one in a classroom once, it began arcing to the metal tracks holding up the suspended ceiling tiles.  Had there been anything flammable in the ceiling, it could have started a fire.


We don't have freedom of expression.  We have free speech.  We have laws to protect this right, and laws against the things you mentioned.  The only thing missing is ethics on the part of the public.  Remember the quote:\n\n‘When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.’ \n\nThat quote from Edmund Burke in ‘Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents’ has, in general use, come to be delivered as, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ \n\nWhich ever version you prefer, the message is the same: evil will, therefore good must.\n\nPeople too often remain silent, then wonder why "Government", as if it some outside agency, does not control their lives more.  Look to your own lives and ask, "Have I been more present and active in protecting our institutions of free speech, journalism, publishing, and other media?"\n\nThat is the only way it will change, not further legislation and government paper and ink.

Norton can be very buggy.  Try uninstalling it and then  reinstalling it.  After you uninstall and reboot, I would then run one of Norton's removal tools, which you can download from symantec.com to eliminate any remnants that the uninstall process leaves behind (You usually need to do this step.)  Then reinstall.  If you still have problems, uninstall it and get the AVG free antivirus from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 because sometimes nothing fixes Norton except a total reload of your operating system, etc.

What is the role of a lineman in football?

Ahh the Offensive lineman is one of the most unappreciated positions. There isn't any stats to look at, the only time you hear about them is when they mess up.\n\nMain job is to protect your precious Quarterback and when no one's in front of you, look around and help out the other linemen.\n\nAlso you gotta get some holes open for your runningbacks. Plus you have to be really big. The OL position is getting bigger and bigger. These guys are tuff.


Yes, it is our only option.\n\nA major percentage of their national economy comes from illegal drugs. If we were to take that away the government wouldn’t have the funds to operate and would fall to the warlords and terrorists.  Which is ironic because the country doesn’t have a transportation infrastructure and relies on the terrorists and warlords as middlemen to bring their products (drugs) to market.  Soooo all we’ve done is legitimize a practice that brings loads of cash to those who would see us dead.\n\nWhat we should have done is stayed in Afghanistan (and never gone into Iraq) and helped them build their infrastructure so that they had a chance of having a viable economy without having to resort to making/selling drugs.

Leasing is an equivalent for rent... or sort of:\nSay you need a car. Then you can buy it on credit. On your balance sheet there will be a car, and a loan.\nIf you lease it, there will be nothing. You will still owe the money for the lease, but you don't put it on your financial stamentes. Why? simply because the leasing agent only calim is against the car; not against the whole book.\nSince it's a limited liability, it keeps you "protected"


Does Microsoft Windows Server 2003-Small Business Server Edition include Windows Media Services?

Windows Media Services\n\nMicrosoft Windows Media Services is an optional component in products in the Windows Server 2003 family. With Windows Media Services, you can create, manage, and deliver Windows Media content over an intranet or the Internet. The clients receiving the content can render it as they receive it, that is, without downloading the content first. Streaming greatly reduces the wait time and storage requirements on the client. It also permits presentations of unlimited length, as well as live broadcasts. The following information provides more detailed information about each aspect of Windows Media Services.

Is it possible to upgrade the video card on my laptop computer?

No.  You can't upgrade it.  Even if you had a dedicated solution (you don't) but if you did you wouldn't be able to upgrade it.  The GMA that you have is a chip integrated on the motherboard.  A dedicated solution would be more of a small card that is also integrated to the AGP or PCIe interface on the motherboard so in either case an upgrade would not be possible.\n\nThere are a few laptops that you can upgrade the graphics card in, like Alienware but you can't upgrade it yourself with a stock card, you have to send it back to Alienware for the upgrade.\n\nBut in your case, as I have said, an upgrade is not possible and I'm sorry to say that an Intel GMA is one of the worst graphics solutions on the market, even for an IGP, it's terrible.

oarfish are very weird and interesting fish.  one species is fantastically long and skinny, up to 50 feet long (and may be the source of many stories about sea serpents).\n\nvery little is know about them, and it wasn't until a few years ago that anyone actually managed to film one alive.\n\nthey feed primarily on zooplankton, straining little copepods and other little yummies from the water.  they might also take small fish, and jellyfish when they can.\n\nlarval and juvenile oarfish are sometimes found floating near the surface, basically part of the zooplankton themselves.  they probably don't have much interaction with the adults.  the adults are solitary, and don't have much interaction with each other either.\n\nthey are probably food for any number of pelagic predators like big sharks, but that's about it for interactivity.


CDC Smallpox | What You Should Know About a Smallpox \n\nWalter S. Hadwen MD was believed to have researched the origin of the disease somewhere in Africa.\n\n\nThe origin of smallpox is uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in Africa and then spread to India and China thousands of years ago. The first recorded smallpox epidemic was in 1350 BC during the Egyptian-Hittite war. Smallpox reached Europe between the 5th and 7th centuries and was present in major European cities by the 18th century. Epidemics occurred in the North American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries. At one time smallpox was a significant disease in every country throughout the world except Australia and a few isolated islands. Millions of people died in Europe and Mexico as a result of widespread smallpox epidemics. \n\n\nOutbreak \nProlonged face-to-face contact with someone who has smallpox (usually someone who already has a smallpox rash). In the past, most people recovered from smallpox, but three out of every ten smallpox patients died.\n\nFrequently Asked Questions About Smallpox\n\nIn General \nThe Disease \nSmallpox Disease\nOverview \nWhat CDC Is Doing to Protect the Public \nWhat You Should Know About a Smallpox Outbreak \nFrequently Asked Questions \nWhat We Learn About Smallpox from Movies - Fact or Fiction \nIn General\nWhat should I know about smallpox?\n\nSmallpox is an acute, contagious, and sometimes fatal disease caused by the variola virus (an orthopoxvirus), and marked by fever and a distinctive progressive skin rash. In 1980, the disease was declared eradicated following worldwide vaccination programs. However, in the aftermath of the events of September and October, 2001, the U.S. government is taking precautions to be ready to deal with a bioterrorist attack using smallpox as a weapon. As a result of these efforts: 1) There is a detailed nationwide smallpox preparedness program to protect Americans against smallpox as a biological weapon. This program includes the creation of preparedness teams that are ready to respond to a smallpox attack on the United States. Members of these teams – health care and public health workers - are being vaccinated so that they might safely protect others in the event of a smallpox outbreak. 2) There is enough smallpox vaccine to vaccinate everyone who would need it in the event of an emergency. (updated Feb 24, 2003)\n\nHow serious is the smallpox threat?\nThe deliberate release of smallpox as an epidemic disease is now regarded as a possibility, and the United States is taking precautions to deal with this possibility. (added Nov 13, 2002)\n\nHow dangerous is the smallpox threat?\nSmallpox is classified as a Category A agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Category A agents are believed to pose the greatest potential threat for adverse public health impact and have a moderate to high potential for large-scale dissemination. The public is generally more aware of category A agents, and broad-based public health preparedness efforts are necessary. Other Category A agents are anthrax, plague, botulism, tularemia, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. (added Nov 13, 2002)\n\nIf I am concerned about a smallpox attack, can I go to my doctor and get the smallpox vaccine?\nAt the moment, the smallpox vaccine is not available for members of the general public. In the event of a smallpox outbreak, however, there is enough smallpox vaccine to vaccinate everyone every person in the United States.(modified December 29, 2004)\n\nThe Disease\nWhat are the symptoms of smallpox?\nThe symptoms of smallpox begin with high fever, head and body aches, and sometimes vomiting. A rash follows that spreads and progresses to raised bumps and pus-filled blisters that crust, scab, and fall off after about three weeks, leaving a pitted scar. (added Nov 13, 2002)\n\nIf someone comes in contact with smallpox, how long does it take to show symptoms?\nAfter exposure, it takes between 7 and 17 days for symp

God made man in his own image, who made God and where did he come from?

I hope you are not implying from your question this wrong thinking:"if you don't understand something, then it must not exist". If that is so, then I probably do not have brains because I don't know why I am able to think. Too, I haven't seen my brain.\n\nBut, if your question is an innocently honest one, then here are my humble answers in the form of questions for you to think about:\n(a) can you tell me the beginning and the end of a circle?\n(b) can you tell me the beginning and the end of the universe?\n(c) can you tell me the beginning and the end of time?\n\nAccording to the Bible, God's creations reflect His glory. So, if you can not answer any of the above, then it is also too hard for us to answer your question. Did you get the point?\n\nBest regards,


what is the largest head start the tortoisecould have been given with out being able to beat the hare??????

i got the tortoise finishes in 11.5 hours but ok. and the largest head start: \nyou have to  solve this equation  165/15 = (165-x)/12\nwhich basically sayz   the time for the hare (165 miles at 15 miles/hr) is equal to the time for the tortoise (distance is 165-x cuz x is the head start and then divided by the speed)\n165/5 = (165-x)/4\n33 = (165-x)/4\n132 = 165-x\nx = 165-132\nx = 33. so if the tortoise had a 33 mile head start, he would tie the hare. if you try it in the equations, u should get the answer.\n\nanother way u could do it is  basically, u know it takes the hare 11 hours. so you can find out how much distance the tortoise can travel in 11 hours by doing 11 hours x 12miles/hr. which is 132. so he can travel only 132 miles in 11 hours, which means if he started  165-132 = 33 miles     ahead of the hare, he would tie the hare

how can i attain a schoolarship to study arenotic engineering and yet i never did physics in secondary school?

HAHAHA...you want to be an engineer...you better have some great gift for it then...  Let me help you first with the question... "How can I get a Scholarship to study aeronautical engineering when I never took Physics in High School?".  Now that we got English down...

The half-life of radium-222 is 38 seconds. How many grams of radium-222 remain in a 12-gram sample (more)?

lambda = 38 s\nInitial Mass (m1) = 12 g\nFinal Mass (m2) = 6 g\n\nEasy - after 1 half life what remains is 6 grams.\nAfter 2 half lives (t=76 s) only 6/2 = 3 grams remain.\n\nThis is the equation you should use for this type of problem.\n\nmf = mi exp(-kt)\n\nwhere mf is final mass\nmi is initial mass\nk is what you are looking for\nt for this should be t=lambda=38 sec\n\n6=12exp(-38k) -> 6/12=.5 = exp(-38k) -> multiply both sides\nby ln and you should get\nln(.5) = -38k -> -ln(.5)/38 = k = .018241\nnow you could solve for 114s.\n\nm2 = 12exp(-.018241*114) = 1.5 grams\n\nSo, after 114 seconds, only 1.5 grams of the material should remain.  That is 3 halflives.\n\n1 halflife - > 12/2 = 6 grams remains\n2 halflives - > 6/2 = 3 grams remains\n3 halflives -> 3/2 = 1.5 grams remain\n\nBut sometimes, if your teacher wants to screw you, use that equation.
