Sure.  Especially if your last name is "Gates"


How do you keep your ex out of the house you've bought together?

I am pretty sure if you are legally seperated and he has vacated the house and keeps coming into it without your consent or permission, it is criminal trespass, even if his name is on the mortage. He left, you are in possession of the home. I can tell you that more than 5 unwanted phone calls in a 24 hour period is a violation of federal standards and harrassment, as is simply swearing over the phone is an FCC violation. If you go to file a harrassment suit against him, at least in the state where I live, you will have to file a restraining order. He has the right to defend himself in court, which means he can demand a court hearing and you will have to be present and prove your charges. It's not hard to do, just a pain in the butt. You need to understand that any order of protection falls under 3 categories and he will be charged with all 3. You will have to try to prove that you feel threatened and also that he is, indeed, harrassing you by definition of the law. Keep a journal of when he comes over, what he says, how you felt. Also keep a journal of phone calls and even keep messages he might leave on your answering machine with date and time. Also, keep any notes he might leave for you. If you have anyone who can, have someone check the house when you are not there or have the police come by to keep an eye on things periodically. Also, set up a video camera in case he comes by then. You can certainly file against him, but remember you have to prove the charge, otherwise it is a waste of your time and money. Best of luck to you. The only good things about divorce is that it ends.

where can i find a good picture of a roman numeral 2? For ex. II?

type it into a word document. Then you can use a font such as Old English.


If he really has an A+ cert... take it away. I kind of doubt he does, if he's screwing up his comp just by going into the bios... Anyway, it differs from motherboard to motherboard, but usually you just press the delete key right when it's starting up to get into it. I've also seen F2 instead of delete. Just use common sense, if you don't know what it is, don't mess with it. If you mess with it anyway and screw something up, just restore the defaults.


of all the teams in the english leagues who are the only team to get to play off finals and lose them all?

There are play offs in the English leagues - but not in the high profile Premiership.\n\nI don't know if they are the only team to have reached, yet never won a play off final, but Leeds Utd lost the Division 2 play off final in their only appearance in 1987, which was also the first year that play offs were used.


Do you think Rooney will be able to play in the WC and will England be greatly affected by his absence?

rooney has a serious injury similar to the one he got in euro 2004 that kept him out for 10 weeks, the medical staff said at that time that he would be back in 6 weeks but rooney turned out to be a very slow recoverer and was back in 10 weeks,this time the medical staff say that he will be back in 6 weeks but its a doubt, now he is under some serious treatment that includes an oxygen chamber invented by sir alex ferguson to try and get the boy back in time for the world cup , i am sure every football lover will be praying for rooney to get fit in time because he is such a joy to watch and would be a great loss if he did not make it and england's chances would be cut very much , me as an argentina fan have my fingers crossed that the boy will be fit on time and we will have a great time watching him play the way he does , god bless you wayne rooney

Can hepatitis C be contracted from the toilet seat or from eating utensils?

Hepatitis C is transmitted by blood.  Let's be honest, if you saw a toilet with blood all over it - would you sit down?  Probably not!  You would also need a cut or sore on your butt for the virus to get in.\n\nSame story goes for eating utensils - you wouldn't put a fork with blood on it in your mouth, right?\n\nDon't worry - Hep C is transmitted from sharing needles and other types of blood to blood exposure.


Asking all men: Do you ever get jealous?

what motivates serial killers to kill psychological?

Although this isn't necessarily always the case, almost all serial killers happen to be sociopathic, now (and more properly) referred to as a dissasociative personality disorder.\n\nThis is a disorder that basically effects how the person thinks about everything. It's two most striking traits are:\n\n1) The person does not think their actions through, and often do things without considering the consequences.\n2) The person seems to lack a concience. Basically, even after they've done something, they don't care or feel remorse.


Hello everyone! I am creating a new recipe for "Jesus Soup" & I really need everybodys help. What kind of ....


Hurricane Names: from the FEMA kids website\n\nAll hurricanes are given names. Why is that? To help us identify storms and track them as they move across the ocean. Remember, there can be more than one hurricane at a time and without naming them, we could get confused and which storm we're talking about.\n\nFor hundreds of years, hurricanes in the West Indies were named after the particular saint's day on which the hurricane occurred. An Australian meteorologist began giving women's names to tropical storms before the end of the 19th century. In 1953, the U.S. National Weather Service, which is the federal agency that tracks hurricanes and issues warnings and watches, began using female names for storms. \n\nIn 1979, both women and men's names were used. One name for each letter of the alphabet is selected, except for Q, U and Z. For Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, the names may be French, Spanish or English, since these are the major languages bordering the Atlantic Ocean where the storm occur. \n\nSo who decides what names are used each year? The World Meteorological Organization uses six lists in rotation. The same lists are reused every six years. The only time a new name is added is if a hurricane is very deadly or costly. Then the name is retired and a new name is chosen.

are isotopes of the same element indistinguishable?

Isotopes of the same element have *almost* identical chemical properties. They can be distinguished because they have different masses (from a different number of neutrons in the nucleus). But this effect is usually very small. One exception is hydrogen. The isotope consisting of one protoon and one neutron in the nucleus (deuterium) has double the mass of a regular hydrogen atom, and this can have observable effects even on the chemistry.

If you buy an online game, do you still have to pay for it?

Purchasing an online game gives you the ability to install it and play it on your computer.  In order to play most games online, you need an online subscription to that game which costs more money.

okay first off, you have been married for 25 years so you should know how to be the sensitive husband by now. First off she just had a major surgery. Second her hormones are going crazy and are mostly likely non existant.  Finally she may be suffering from depression.  reproductive hormones are chemicals, just like many chemicals in the body their is the master system that tries to regulate them.  While many times outside sources (think toxins) can affect them, inside sources (such as deficiencies) can affect them but most of all they are affected by stress.  That is why stress is such a powerful advisary and while people with less stress are healthier and happier, becuase their chemical bodies are too... everything that happens in your body is the result of a chemical process.\n\nthe best thing that you can do is drop the sex talk, thoughts and conversation. Take any pressure off of her.  When you talk about it, persue her or ask about it is just reminds her that she is broken, makes her feel like that is your focus and reinforces her internal stuggles.  Drop all aspects of it for like a solid week... be very supportive and open with her discussing other things, specifically how she is feeling, what she is thinking and so on.  heavily encourage discussions, meetings with her women friends as most often they will not open up enough to deal with it to a man.  Women just have different communication some times.  I would say if you can keep this up for two weeks and she isn't doing any better in the attitude/ outlook/ perspective department (not the sex dept) then suggest she see a doctor as she may be depressed or suffering from traumatic stress... \nthis is what I would suggest.  But if nothing else back off of her and sex other wise it will only make it worse..


What do people think in the gaming world  of the new Tomb Raider game ?


during my meal(i.e half plate of rice), i drink 3 glass of water, is it causes fatness?

Drinking/sipping .. Not guzzling .. water throughout your meal is a good thing. It will not cause you to become "fat" as water doesnt contain fat. It will however, fill you up. Especially if eaten rice because it will expand inside your stomach.\n\nIf anything drinking excess water with your meal will help you to lose weight because you will eat less.\n\nThis is not a recommended dietry tip.


If you send digital info at many times the speed of light can it be retrieved before it left?

Third dimensional particles (this includes light and electronic data streams) must move through Time (4th Dimension) in a single straight line.  Though you may make them go any direction at any speed within the three dimensions of our reality, time is constant.  The only way to move something in a different direction along Time you would have to get these particles into that dimension and move them along a 5th.\nSo it's just not possible at our current understanding of physics


Your question is a perfect example of why first impressions can be wrong.  At first I thought this sounded like a mistake,  but it turns out you're right.  (And, it's a really interesting question.)\n\nHere's a couple of sentences from the Mid-Region Council of Governments' website (first link below):  "Founded in 1706 as the Villa of San Francisco de Alburquerque by Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdez in honor of the Spanish Duke of Alburquerque. The name was soon changed to San Felipe de Alburquerque and in the 19th century the spelling was changed to Albuquerque."\n\nThere's some more on the city and its founding and history at that site.  See also the second site below for some more background.\n\nThanks for helping me learn something today.

I'm 3 day's into giving up smoking, any helpful advise or tips?

The most helpful thing I did was to reprogram my brain.... Instead of saying you are giving up smoking, say "I don't smoke". What you tell your brain, becomes the truth. Sounds funny, but it worked for me. You can also change some of your habits. If you always smoke after a meal then do something else to take it's place. Keep in mind that you are adding years to your life by achieving your goal.

When we took it to a tech to get it fixed he installed avast for us and it works awesome.


I broke up with my boyfriend because he told me was still dating someone before me, but i want him back?

You've got a simple case of wanting what you can't have!  You don't really want him; you just want him to want you.  Once you realize that's your problem, you can move on and have a healthy relationship with someone worthy of you.


Is a geophyte also a therophyte and vice versa?

No. \nGeophytes are those plants that have their growing buds below the ground. They usually have parts modified as storage organs (roots and stems forming bulbs, rhyzomes, etc) and are able to undergo unfavorable periods by staying within the soil, with their buds well protected. Thus, they're perennial.\nOn the contrary, terophytes are annual plants. These are usually grasses and forbs, plants that quickly grow, produce flowers and many seeds, and then die with the onset of unfavorable conditions. They don´t have storage organs, because they do not rely on resistance, but rather on producing many offspring that will grow in the next favorable season.


Am I alone in failing to understand how Bush can be seen as either honest or sincere?

I used to think on these simple terms that you state. \n\nBut here's the thing and the truth you seek.\n\nGovernment instituitions, politicians, and religious zealots and powers of the masses are the BIGGEST secret-keepers and the BIGGEST opposers to anyone telling the truth that is not in their favor.\n\nAlso, Religion is created to control the truth.  They know that, some of us don't.  Religion tells you how to feel not to acknowlegde how you feel.  It tells you your feelings are wrong instead of natural.\n\nCould you imagine if you today, started a religion and told people what is right and what is wrong and what to do with their money and what to eat and how many children to have and then you had millions of people convert to your new religion?  Could you imagine how much control you would have?  Well, these people do and they use religion against us all the time. I hope you begin to think about this.\n\nThere are behavioral scientists who are in very high advisory positions and they say, 'If you do this...9-11' the people will respond like this. Then you can go to war bringing Democracy into Middle East. Then you can tell the people that the enemy is anyone who doesn't go along with what we say makes people safe.  Then as you continue to control the media you can ignore the smart people who are not fooled and focus on the idiots who believe whatever we tell them to believe.'\n\nThis is why we now have the immigration issue coming up at this very significant time.  The goal is not to make Mexicans the enemy: the goal is to make any human who does not follow the rules and any human who wants anything other than what the government wants, the enemy.\n\nThe goal is to stay in power which means to make other powerless.  We are all manipulated.\n\nThose of us who 'are citizens' are only that because the governments says 'okay you're a citizen'  The people who are not citizen are not because the government says they're not a citizen.' As beneficiaries, we are just as powerless as the people who are kept out because we are all dependent on the same jurisdiction and the same corrupt government.\n\nDon't you realize that if the current administration wanted Bush out of office he'd be out already. They have access to all the weapons in the world and could make something happen if they wanted to. When a company has an employee who doesn't go along with the plan, they oust him. But this government company won't do that because Bush is part of the plan.\n\nThink critically and you will come to your own conclusion.


Jealousy between sisters..Is it healthy?

No you can't really help it, it just kind of happens. Sibling Rivalry is pretty well documented, and definitely more between those of the same sex. You just have to try to keep the competition as fun and healthy as you can - in the wider world you're better off knowing how to get along, and in the wider world there is always going to be someone who is more talented or less good-looking or etc etc. than your sisters. Try to recognise each others different strengths and appreciate them, that way you will develop individual strengths without needing to compete with each other so much.


why our planet is round instead of square???

Our planet earth and for that matter all planets, moons and stars are generally spheres, not cubes or cylinders or odd shapes. Some small galactic bodies such as asteroids comets do have odd shapes, but planets, suns and stars and even moons look like spheres. That's because, when they were formed millions of years ago, they were essentially molten liquid. Gravity and meniscus forces (surface tension) cause the object to take on a rounded shape--and it cools in that position. Do you remember seeing astronauts squeezing out juice or other liquids, they immediately become round in space.  It is the nature of gravity too pull uniformily toward the center--as the distance from the center increases, so does the gravitational force. You can think of gravity as a force that points inward toward the center of all things that have mass-- so that every part of the surface (especially liquids)is pulled evenly toward the center, resulting in a spherical shape.\n\nPlanets are not perfect spheres because there are other forces acting on the planets too which are trying to stretch them--rotational forces, etc. Because they were once hot moltent liquid, they buldge in the middle for these secondary centrifigal forces. Earth and the moon reflect this phenomina. Although gravity keeps planets close to spherical, there are other forces that cause deviations from the basic spherical shape. For example, the rotation of the earth once every 24 hours, causes an apparent centrifugal force which creates a bulge at the equator. In fact the earth's diameter at the equator is 7,926 miles while the diameter between the poles is only 7,900. \n\nNote that planets and moons had to be a liquid or they would not have been able to escape the gravitational force of the nearest larger body. Remember that liquid will seek the path of least resistance as it moves. In otherwords, an impact on the earth would cause a splash of moltent material that could escape the earth's atmosphere at the exact angle (path of least resistance) to be able to exit the planet's atmosphere without burning up. Once it exits into space, the gravitational pull of the larger body will pull it into orbit. It will stay in orbit until it is acted upon by a larger force. Fortunately, we haven't seen any larger forces since the earth was created and therefore, the conditions will remain for millions of years into the future.


why X rated films are called blue films?

In earlier days, such films were filmed using blue filter to give illusion of night time. Thats why the name 'blue films'. Now technology has improved and taste have changed, so no more  blue filters, but name lingers on.


Why can't people just answer the darn question?

So, they are left with talking about what their preacher told them to say.

does the fact that I enjoy having sex with gay men make me gay? I only ever do it to them and never do me.?

Maybe you just need a girl that likes it in the butt.


Guys, do you really like loose women who gives it up so easily?  Seriously?

sex and making love are two completely different things. Yes men are sex machines, but so are women. There are a few of us guys out there, like myself, who refuse to have sex. I prefer making love. I know how to do it, I know how to please a woman, and I don't just roll over after it's over.... but that's because before I make love, I have to be in love. So ask me if I want a fast woman? I don't think so. Look at it this way. If he can say the same things I have just said without hesitation, and still look into you eyes a week later, he's probably in love, not after a quickie. Now you have to make up your mind. Do you want a quickie (no insinuations) Just as there are different kinds of women out there, so are there men. Oh, and if he gets upset, leaves, or doesn't call you back, he just wanted sex.


who do you think is hotter daniel radcliffe or rupert grint?

I'm not goint to tell you which ways because the proof is when you ask and HE leads you to the truth, then you'll know for sure.


is looking for a relationship online a option if your shy and dont do the club scene??

looking for a relationship online is not a good thing. i know that there are people out there that is has worked for, but finding someone over the internet that is honest and does not have some kind of agenda is very rare.  and it is very hard to get to know someone over the internet.  and you also do not have to do the club scene to find someone. there is a person out there for everyone.  just do things that you enjoy doing.  if you enjoy the movies or concerts or whatever, just do them. interact with people of the opposite sex that enjoys doing the same things that you do.  you don't have to fall madly in love with someone, form a friendship first. some of the greatest relationships started out as friends.  and it will be easier to approach people if you are shy if you approach them with the idea that you want to be friends and not wanting a relationship.


List me about 10 cybercrimes along with their remedies.?

"Applying Criminal Penalties to \nActions in Cyberspace"\n\nPreface: The messages below were posted in the Cybercrimes Seminar during September, 1998, as part of the class discussions.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nArticle No. 331: posted by Susan Brenner on Mon, Sep. 14, 1998, 13:29\nSubject: Blank scenario: the Student #9 statute\n\nArticle No. 274: [Branch from no. 273] posted by Student #9 on Sat, Sep. 12, 1998, 23:19\n\nThe following is a quick and dirty first draft of a proposed statute to criminalize any action producing the type of injury involved in the Blank case. It draws from CA Penal Code sections 288.2(b) and 647.6(a). I did not have a copy of a criminal statute that provides for additional civil remedies, handy...so I winged it.\n\nMy belief is that this rough draft contains enough flaws to inspire an evolutionary discussion process, ultimately, leading to the production of a sample model statute. Might be good practice...if enough of us join in. So go ahead and propose: a)why we should trash it, altogether [but, don't forget to include your alternative!]; b)how the draft should be revised; etc.\n\nMPC section 1.01:\n\n(a) Every person who knowingly distributes, sends, causes to be sent, exhibits, or offers to distribute or exhibit by electronic mail, the Internet, as defined in Section 17538 of the Business and Professions Code, or a commercial online service, any false or legally protected matter about another person, and with the intent, or for the purpose of causing said person embarrassment, or economic, professional or social harm shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both the fine or imprisonment. \n\n(b)Every person who (cut and paste from above up to)...or social harm, resulting in injury to said person shall be subject to civil liability of not less than ten thousand dollars and not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nArticle No. 334: [Branch from no. 331] posted by Student #9 on Mon, Sep. 14, 1998, 14:44\nSubject: re: Blank scenario: the Student #9 statute\n\nI do not favor the forfeiture approach--Internet Service Providers sometimes require user acceptance of the terms of a specific agreement that addresses user liability for such activity with corresponding prohibitive language towards same(e.g., Yahoo email agreement).\n\nRe: the statute\n\nIf we define "person" to include both individuals and organizations, the fine and civil remedies seem a bit low. Perhaps setting the fines at "not less than $5,000 for each independent publication [as identified by ISP records]...what upper limit would be appropriate?\n\nHypo: If McDonald's Corporation discovered that Wendy's hired an agent to spread internet rumors that McDonald's used red earth worms to increase the protein content of their burgers, the cap on civil remedies seems almost an invitation to cyber-mischief. How should we set civil remedies as provided by this statute to serve as an adequate deterrent? \n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nArticle No. 335: [Branch from no. 334] posted by Student #9 on Mon, Sep. 14, 1998, 14:56\nSubject: re: Blank scenario: the Student #9 statute\n\nClarification--I do favor civil remedies provided by the criminal statute, as reflected in its drafting. I would prefer that Internet Service Providers be immune from either criminal sanctions or civil liabilities. Persons--either individuals or organizations--should be subject to both criminal sanctions and civil liabilities reasonably calculated to both deter the commission of the object crime and provide remedies for the victims of same.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nArticle No. 340: [Branch from no. 334] posted by Student #10 on Mon, Sep. 14, 1998, 17:46\nSubject: r

what is the process by which populations accumulate inherited changes over time?

Actually the more general answer (evolution) is probably better for this specific question. As I read it, the question is asking: how do alternative versions of genes (changes) appear in a population and then how are they maintained (accumulated)? Not all variation is maintained by natural selection, the other causes of evolution have an effect - drift, migration, nonrandom mating. Mutation is also a cause of evolution although, in the context of this specific question, it's probably better to describe it as the origin/source of the changes.


Do you have older siblings who used to traumatize you as a kid?

Wow! Nothing as bad as being rolled up in carpet! I'd end up having hardwood floors due to carpetiphobia!\nI've got a few things that happened between my brother and me. \n1.) Once, I forgot what I did, probably just bothering him but he started chasing me around the pool a few times, I ran inside the house (never flew up flight of stairs so fast)ran into my room, closed the door and sat up against the door bracing my legs up against my dresser (no lock on the door)\nMy brother kept trying to get in but couldn't. He keep pushing and banging on the door. Finally I heard a "CRACK" and my brother ran away. Iopened the door and looked to see what the crack was. He had broken my porcelain name plaque on my door, whackin' it with his cowboy boot (he told me years later) I was so mad I was then the one chasing him.....and the saga continued.\n2.) Once I was watering the front yard. My brother was upstairs at his bedroom window doing or saying something stupid to me so I took the hose to squirt at the window but the window ended up being open. Soaked the screen, him and went all over his beanbag beneath him...........the chasing started yet once again!!!\n3.) Last one..........My brother and I were wrestling around, he got upset and pinned me down then scooted up and farted on my face. Then ran away laughing. I was not laughing due to the fact the air was toxic and my eye's were burning! LOL He said it was for all the times I bothered him.\n(Maybe I did, I don't remember. He's smelly fart erased part of my memory!)\nNothing actually traumatizing really though it seemed like we argued all the time. Now we hardly ever talk to each other. I'm in CA, he's in AZ.\nHope your sister is a lot nicer to you now! \nI'm a little claustrophobic too though for some reason.\nMaybe I know your sister : )   SmileyCat

can I find a way to lose only my stomach?

Spot training is a myth.  You cannot lose ONLY your stomach.  Generally the first place you put on fat is the last place it will come off.  You may just be genetically predisposed to the "apple" shape.\n\nSince the muscles are underneath the fat, toning the muscle will not dramatically change the appearance of your stomach until you lose the fat.  The best way to do that is cardio, and tons of it.\n\nHowever, there is something to be said for strength training.  When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle mass, and strength training will help you retain more muscle so as you slim down you become toned instead of just a smaller flabby version.  Also, muscle has a higher resting metabolic rate, so the more muscle you build, the more calories you burn just by existing.\n\nShort answer - go ahead and tone up the stomach muscles, but you need to burn of the fat w/cardio to be able to see the results of your toning.

Why do people feel that getting high makes you have fun?

Because for whatever reason, they have not figured out that the joys in life can make you high.  I went through that stage too. I recall the moment it all changed for me as a teenager.  We were all sitting around in a room with Pink Floyd "The Wall" album blaring and the TV was on and a rerun of The Three Stooges on but the volume was off.  Everyone was passing around a joint and drinking (except me) and really getting into watching the Stooges with Floyd playing in the background.  I thought to myself, my God , do I look this stupid when I am stoned? You should be so proud of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i hate to work out but i know i need it... recommendations please?

Work out with a friend so that you can chat and keep your mind off of it. Or if by yourself, listen to music. Walking and biking are easy and will get your heart pumping. Good luck and have fun!


my grand mother was Italian can anybody tell me how can I obtain the Italian citizenship?

ok now I don't know where you reside, but let's assume that you're in a country where they allow dual citizenship.  \n\nItaly allows anybody who has Italian bloodties to become an Italian citizen even though you have never set foot in the country.  My best advise would be to call or e-mail your local Italian embassy to get all the details.  I found some interesting websites that could help you determine whether you are eligible to Italian Citizenship.

do maggots get drunk when you bury an alcoholic?

Actually, alcoholics do not contain enough alcohol to elicit intoxication in maggots. While they may have been drunk when they perished (though often they are not -- the long term diseases that eventually kill many of them make it really hard to drink in those last few days), the body alcohol concentration is only a few parts per MILLION. that's a low concentration when you consider that 80 proof vodka is 40% ethanol.\n\nBut in case you didn't know, most animals can get drunk from alcohol. Worms can get drunk. Fish, elephants, dogs and cats can get drunk, too. After college, I interviewed for a job at a lab where my work would have included studies on alcohol dependency. Many of these experiments involved taking transgenic round worms (C. elegans for the geeks at home) and getting them drunk on ethanol-laced petri dishes. When intox'd, these worms have a really hard time crawling in a straight line.\n\nSo in short, while you can get a maggot drunk, alcoholoics don't have enough booze in them to get the job done. So NO.


Ladies! An etiquette question for you to answer that would teach men the proper way to give you a compliment?

Well, make sure you know the girl first.\n\nEvery girl loves getting compliments, even if they don't show it. Pick some thing small to begin with. Start off with an "You have the prettiest eyes. They remind me of the ocean." DONT EVER COMPLIMENT HER ON HER 'RACK'. I can almost guarantee there will not be a second date.\n\nNot every girl likes an handsome guy. Most people care more about personality. \n\nDon't do any of the cheesy stuff. Be original. Take a chance.


does anyone know  meaning and results of having "MOYA MOYA DISEASE"?

Moya-moya is a rare disorder of uncertain cause that leads to irreversible blockage of the main blood vessels to the brain as they enter into the skull. The name comes from the Japanese and means "puff of smoke". This naming is due to the appearance of the lesion on an angiogram. This is a lesion that tends to affect children and adults in the third to fourth decades of life. In children it tends to cause strokes or seizures. In adults it tends to cause bleeding or strokes. The process of blockage (vascular occlusion) once it begins tends to continue despite any known medical management unless treated with surgery. The repeated strokes can lead to severe functional impairment or even death so that it is important to recognize these lesions and treat them early on. \n\nOnce a diagnosis is suspected by CT or MRI, the next step is usually an angiogram to confirm the diagnosis and to see the anatomy of the vessels involved. Often nuclear medicine studies such as SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography) are used to demonstrate the decreased blood and oxygen supply to areas of the brain involved with the Moya-moya disease. The next step is for the neurosurgeon to decide what type of operation is best suited for the child. There are many operations that have been developed for the condition, but currently the most favored are: EDAS, EMS, STA-MCA and multiple burr holes. \n\nThe EDAS (encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis) procedure requires dissecting a scalp artery over a course of several inches and then making a small temporary opening in the skull directly beneath the artery. The artery is then sutured to the surface of the brain and the bone replaced. \n\nIn the EMS (encephalomyosynangiosis) operation, the temporalis muscle, which is in the temple region of the forehead, is dissected and through an opening in the skull placed onto the surface of the brain. \n\nOther operations include: the STA-MCA (superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery) in which a scalp artery is directly sutured to a brain surface artery; and a procedure in which multiple small holes (burr holes) are placed in the skull to allow for growth of new vessels into the brain from the scalp. \n\nAll of these operations have in common the concept of a blood and oxygen "starved" brain reaching out to grasp and develop new and more efficient means of bringing blood to the brain and bypassing the areas of blockage. The risks of the surgery seem to be more due to the risk of being under general anesthesia for an extended period of time then to the actual surgical manipulations. The Moya-moya vessels and the involved brain are very sensitive to changes in blood pressure, blood volume and the relative amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. When awake, the child's brain is able to regulate these factors fairly well. However, under general anesthesia these parameters are much harder to artificially control and this can lead to bleeding or strokes. It is crucial for surgery that the anesthesiologist have experience in managing these children as the type of anesthesia they require is very different from the standard anesthetic children get for almost any other type of neurosurgical procedure. \n\nThe long term outlook for children with treated moya-moya seems to be good. While symptoms may seem to improve almost immediately after surgery, it will take probably 6-12 months before new vessels can develop sufficiently. Once major strokes or bleeding take place, even with treatment the child may be left with permanent loss of function so it is very important to treat this condition promptly.

What is your opinion for Lord of the Rings movie?Do you suppose Peter Jackson ruined Tolkien´s myth or not?

I actually think, for some mysterious reason, that the fans and the experiences of the people making the movie impressed and enthused me more than the movies themselves.  \n\nHowever, I highly enjoyed watching the movies and there were many moments when I think Jackson surpassed Tolkien in scene representation (eg. The Breaking of the Fellowship).  \n\nOn the other hand, the complexity of the story and characters could never be transferred onto film.  Film is a very different medium for artistic portrayal than a book.  In books you can be as in-depth as you like; the reader can take their time in absorbing everything. In a 2-3 hour movie you cannot do that.  \n\nYou need to make choices of where you want the story to go and Jackson's writing team had to do that.  So there was no Scouring of the Shire, not enough of Faramir and Eowyn, or enough Merry & Pippin etc.   That's why you did not get Bombadil.  (No real loss in my opinion.  Can you imagine this hippy getting the four hobbits to strip naked and dance around on the grass in the movie??? (Well I wouldn't mind seeing Billy and Dom do this).) \n\nThe reason they needed to change Faramir's character was that they had built the Ring as a character that was very dangerous and influential to humans, and if Faramir behaved like he did in the book, where he had no interest in the Ring, that would crush the sinister character of the Ring.\n\nIn other scenes, I was disappointed in 'brushing over' some scenes, like the forming of the Fellowship at the Council of Elrond.  And what seemed to be like a tv cartoon portrayal of the "bad guys", esp the third movie the main orc with the bad skin, with a voice like the baddie in Inspector Gadget.  A bit weak.  Also, it felt quite 'tired' to show endless battles without effectively showing the consquences of war at a human level.\n\nI think Jackson did an overall good job in trying to please fans of the books and movie-goers in general.  I personally would like to have seen something more 'absorbing' like an Akira Kurosawa-type film.  But that's me.

why is it that people come to america  from horrible situations, get a free ride then are rude and ungrateful?

Ruthie, I wish I had an answer for you.  The closest I can come is to say that people will do as little as possible and expect great rewards for little efforts.  American trains them that way.  We have become a country of entitlement for all the wrong reasons.


Is it worth the money to buy digital hearing aids custom fit as opposed to the cheaper out of the box aids?

Hearing is a lot more complicated than just amplifying some sound.  I've been a hearing instrument specialist for 12 years and I have never seen anyone buy any off the shelf product that has been any use as a hearing aid.  Such a device might help you hear the TV better in a quiet room but when it comes to living a normal life, eating out, meeting friends or relatives they will be little to no use.\n\nIf you have a hearing problem you need to have your hearing tested by a Hearing Instrument Specialist or an audiologist.  Make sure that the 'expert' is the one who actually does the testing.  Make sure you are offered a trial period.  Make sure you are fitted with a test aid system to hear what actual aids are like before even ordering them.  Find out about the rehab and service program.  Keep in mind that not all digital aids are the same.  I work for one specific company and we have 14 different kinds of digital aid!\n\nRemember the old expression, buy cheap buy twice.  There is not a week that goes by that I don't see a patient who has wasted some money on some cheap aids that don't work, and now they are having to buy something that works.


Should I apologize to my boss for ignoring what she told me to do?

yes - you should talk to your boss and make sure she understands what you feel. also, don't simply decide on the priorities just with what other co-worker want u do to, unless you can accommodate that along with your own deliver ables. Boss w(sh)ould know the big picture and deal those 'extra' help requests from others thru your boss - two things: your boss will then know how much helpful you are to others and your boss will know how others are struggling to get their work done - this will help for you career and will help your manager for better planning.

I am trying to get info on "What we learn about earth from pictures of star trails. I have been unlucky so far

You can learn that something is moving.  Either the earth is rotating (true), or the sky is revolving around the earth (once thought to be true).  You can also measure the length of the siderial day.  That is the length of time it take for the earth to rotate reletive to the stars.  Our "day" of 24 hours is based on the sun's motion.  If we were to measure time based on the stars we would have a day of 23hours and 56 minutes.  You can measure the length of the day with star trails, although to really get the timing down might be hard.

what does the star on the countries emblem show?

Every star a national team has on his uniform indicates one time they have won a World Cup.  Thats why Italy used to have in its uniform and under 3 stars a circled space for their 4th star which by the way hasn't arrived yet. Brazil has the most with 5 stars.  Note that this only applies for national teams.  Every country has their rules about the stars for their clubs, for example in Italy a star means 10 Serie A Scudettos or League Championships.


When the body is no longer capable of sweating, core temperature begins to rise swiftly.\n\nThe victim will become confused, hostile, and may seem drunk. Because the body is so dehydrated, blood pressure will drop significantly, leading to possible fainting or dizziness, especially if the victim stands suddenly. As blood pressure drops, heart rate and respiration rate will increase (tachycardia and tachypnea) as the heart attempts to supply enough oxygen to the body. The skin will become red as blood vessels dilate in an attempt to increase heat dissipation. As heat stroke progresses, the decrease in blood pressure will cause blood vessels to contract, resulting in a pale or bluish skin colour. Complaints of feeling hot may be followed by chills and trembling, as is the case in fever. Some victims, especially young children, may suffer convulsions. Acute dehydration such as that accompanying heat stroke can produce nausea and vomiting; temporary blindness may also be observed. Eventually, as body organs begin to fail, unconsciousness and coma will result.


anybody want a prison pen pal?my son is doing time and needs letters from ladies?

Hey all of you know it alls...I don't think she asked if he deserves the chair (which is just crass), or if he will continue making the same mistakes over and over.\nIn no way does this question call for a negative or derogatory opinion of any sort.\nHere's an idea...Maybe you should try to read the question first, think to yourself if you have any relevant in put, and if you don't, then it's just not your question to answer.\nTo all of you who answered as though you were God himself,  try not to be such an ignorant jerk in the future.\nAnd as for your question\nI think it's fabulous that you are trying to help your son through this very new and different time in his life.  Genuine people sharing their positive thoughts with your son will help the time pass, and in the process, he will make new friends, and be able to make better decisions in the future.  Unfortunately I do not know of anyone who would like to do this at the time, but maybe your son could find out if his particular prison offers a Pen Pals program.  I'm sure you'll have better luck with that, but I found a few sites that should be of some help to you\nGood luck, and I hope this helps!\n\nwww.friendsbeyondthewall.com\nwww.prisonpenpals.com \nwww.cellpals.com\nwriteaprisoner.com

Work hard, climb the career ladder, stick to your principles and once you are in a position to do so - treat your employees fairly, bearing in mind the feelings of worthlessness and despair you feel now.\nProblem is, by then you'll have compromised, negotiated and settled on the way up.  You'll probably look back on this question and think "Was that really me?  How could I have been so naive? How can I screw my employees for another quick buck?"\nSincerely, I hope not.  I hope you remember this feeling and get there unfettered.  Good luck and be a good little capitalist now.  (my guess is you're getting paid tax-free? If you're not, many of your colleagues are.  Nature of the capitalist beast I'm afraid)


Definition of Carboxyhemoglobin\n\nCarboxyhemoglobin: Hemoglobin that has carbon monoxide instead of the normal oxygen bound to it. Carbon monoxide has a much great affinity than oxygen for hemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin is formed in carbon monoxide poisoning. The source of the carbon monoxide may be exhaust (such as from a car, truck, boat or generator), smoke from a fire, or tobacco smoke. The level of carboxyhemoglobin is a measure of the degree of carbon monoxide exposure. \n\nThe presence of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood is called carboxyhemoglobinemia. Carboxyhemoglobin is also known as carbonmonoxyhemoglobin and carbon monoxide hemoglobin.


How can you find out how much a house is really worth?

I would suggest checking the amounts that comparable homes that recently sold for, in the same neighborhood, or in the same general area you are interested in. Usually newspapers print real estate transactions once a week or so.

What team in the NBA playoffs has the best shot at upsetting the favorite\higher seed?

The Clippers do. Statistically, this is true because the Clippers have home court advantage, even though they are the lower seed. In the past, the team with home court advantage has won somewhere around 70% of the time. Tonight they won (barely) the first game. Again, historically, teams that win game one win the series about 75% of the time.


Assessing the age of a living tree is straightforward enough -- just extract a core from the tree's circular trunk and count the number of lines in the core formed by the tree's annual growth rings. (The rings of ancient bristlecone pines like Methuselah are more challenging to count, because the trunks are so distorted that new rings may form at right angles to ones formed long before.) But there's much more information to be gleaned from growth rings than simply a tree's age. This information comes to us through the science of dendrochronology.


Has anyone ever tried Hypnotism CD's for weightloss?  Has it worked you and what product did you use?

Is marriage a part of the structure of the family in American society?


How does believing in God make you stronger?

My answer would be that it doesn't.\n\nOf course, some people get their strength from their theistic beliefs, but others get their strength from the love and trust that they share with the people in their life, some people get their strength from doing the right thing and contributing positively to society, and some people get their strength from a firm belief in the goodness of humankind.\n\nI guess it all depends on the individual.

Do you consider your position contributes to the wellbeing of society?

I would very much like to Contribute to the Well Being of Society but by Law I am not Allowed at this Point. I've come up with a way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. All Petroleum is essentially the same, on a Molecular Level. It's only the Dispersal that's Altered.What this would do to Benefit Society would be to signifigantly lessen Dependency on Petroleum, and at least Slow Down Global Warming. Granted, that Issue is Debatable, but Air Pollution is not. As to the Law , all Vehicles made from 1996 to the Present are Required to Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.That's the OBD II EPA Mandate.No Changes are Allowed, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered! My Gasoline to Propane Converter is Set for 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel, just like Propane, but with even more Engine Power. Engines Run Best on Vapor, not 14.7 to 1 Atomized Liquid Fuel. If This is not so, then how is it that Engines DO run on Large, Cumbersome, Expensive Propane Tank Cylinders? Again, there is no Molecular Difference, only the Dispersal.I've been to the US Patent Office and Looked at other Units that have been kept off the Market, so don't even go There ! See, Money has $topped it every Time ! I'd very much like to fix up a whole Fleet of Vehicles, and Donate Them to the Meals on Wheels Program, and keep them Insured, and Fueled Up. There are Plenty of Good People that want to Help, but with Gas. going back to $3 per Gallon, it gets Expensive ! Also, there are Military Veterans Assistance Services that get no Government Funding. We All Owe Them so very much.They often need Transportation for Medical Care. And there are so Many other charitable Organizations that could use a Hand-Up, not a Hand Out. You want Some Numbers? 50 + MPG, with even the Largest Gasoline Powered SUV's Hybirds? On the Highway, the Gasoline Engine has to Run, Plus, the Expense, and Weight of the Batteries.To sum Up, I'd like to do More for the Well Being of Society if I could be Allowed to do so. Greed, Big Oil, and the EPA have Stopped it Cold!

Ask him what he thinks and tell him that you think he needs to change. if he truly cares about you and your future kids, he'll make an attempt to hange and become a better and more responsible person. If he's not willing to try, then find yourself someone who'll love you and will be able to take care of you. A man who won't change for the better isn't worth it.


why did Napoleon attack Moscow instead of st. petersburg?

Okay but this answer is pretty long.\n\nNapoleon's determination to implement the Continental System had led him to embark on the Peninsular Campaign in a further extension of the French Wars.  Although the attempt to conquer Spain was failing, Napoleon set about a greater task: the conquest of Russia.  One reason for this was that Britain had become involved in a war with America and Napoleon was convinced that Britain was on the verge of collapse, provided that the blockade of trade with Britain was carried out.  However, the Czar was making a big hole in the plan. The interview at Erfurt had merely checked the process of disillusionment which had been going on in Alexander’s mind ever since Tilsit. There had always been a strong anti-Bonaparte party at his Court, headed by the Czar's mother; and its influence was strengthened during the next few years. For instance \n\nNapoleon would not give definite assurances that he would not turn the Grand Duchy of Warsaw into a Kingdom of Poland  \nwhen Napoleon annexed northern Germany in 1811 he had dethroned the Duke of Oldenburg, the Czar’s uncle, with insultingly offhand talk of compensations elsewhere \nthe Czar was angry to discover the depth of Napoleon's opposition to Russia acquiring Constantinople in the war which Alexander had just begun with Turkey. \nThe main trouble was over the Continental System. The stoppage of trade with England meant the ruin of Russian commerce, and therefore of the Czar’s revenues; also of the corn-growing on which the Russian nobles depended for their own incomes. Alexander grew slacker and slacker in the enforcement of the Decrees, and Napoleon’s protests grew more and more heated. In 1810 the Czar forbade the importation of a number of luxury articles, such as wines and lace, most of which came from France, in order to redress his trade-balance. A year later he openly admitted British shipping to his ports.\n\nNapoleon thought that he could not let this go on. Ruinous as the defection of Russia was in itself, even worse was the effect it would have on other countries groaning under the System. He believed that he must make an example of the Czar that would intimidate other rulers who were “willing to wound yet half afraid to strike": He intended to give a demonstration of his overwhelming strength and determination but he was no longer the man he had been. \n\nNapoleon was growing old at an age when others were just coming into their prime. He was becoming fatter, less energetic and more cautious.  He made more military mistakes and his run of success had robbed him of all sense of the attainable.  He had begun to shut his eyes to unpleasant facts, and to ignore the voice of common sense.\n\nWhen in the middle of 1811 the clash became inevitable, Czar and Emperor competed with each other in the search for alliances. Austria was now bound to Napoleon by family ties following his marriage to Princess Marie Louise; moreover, however much the Emperor Francis of Austria- Hungary chafed against his dependence, he was haunted by memories of Campo Formio, Lunéville, Pressburg and Schönbrunn. He therefore agreed to mobilise an army on his Galician frontier with an understanding that he was to recover his Illyrian provinces at the end of the campaign. However, his new Chancellor, Metternich, had seen enough while he was the Austrian ambassador at Paris to realise that the Napoleonic Empire would not last much longer, and he privately made a “gentleman’s agreement” with Alexander that his army should do nothing in particular. \n\nIn Prussia, patriotic fervour was strong, but the King’s nerve had been even more shaken than that of the Emperor Francis. He was forced to send an army to cover the Baltic flank of the coming invasion, and to feed the invading host as it passed through his dominions. The Poles, too, remained faithful to Napoleon; he had done much for them, and would, they hoped, do more when he had conquered


Would you vote for Condi Rice for President of the United States if she were a member of the Democratic Party?

Nice try, NO, Condi is intelligent, her major flaw in my opinion (aside from embracing republican ideology) is that she lacks integrity as evidenced by her continued support for Bush. Remember Colin Powell had the good sense to "bail out", why not Condi?....it's an integrity issue, she lacks it.  Hillary can win in 2008, she's the country's only hope to clean up the mess Bush and his goons have made. Remember her closest confidant and adviser would be Bill.

'Imaculate Conception' could this not be classed as 'Rape by Divinity'?

No, you are not sick minded.  You have caught a connection with pagan mythos that of course was picked up by the early ROMAN Catholic Church.  There is at least this much truth in the Da Vinci Code:  The early Church did indeed consciously suppress pagan religions except that in the case of the Roman Church, they absorbed far more easily than they were brutally suppressed.  So the "pagans," in the sense of country folk, were turned into devils, demons, witches to burn.  But the Gods and Goddesses who were appreciated by the cultured Roman citizen was incorporated.  They show up all over the early saint stories.  Brigid, a pagan holiday on February first, became St. Brigid, with a pretty little martyr's story.  So it goes.  So it went.\n\nAnyway, Zeus coming down from heaven and creating demi-God offspring is a big theme in Roman mythology.  Of course it got adapted to the making of a "miracle" birth for the Chosen One.  How else could it be so?  And the wise men and their gifts were telling us that even those of very different beliefs recognized his divinity.  Gold, frankincense and myrrh were, after all, magical and royal gifts.  And so it goes.  So it went.  And here we are.

what can i do to  relax my muscles from working out?

protein - will heal the muscles, and you will recover faster - lots of water, avoid sugar - really avoid sugar- avoid soft drinks, avoid candy - eat fresh fruit for energy - bananas have the potassium you need for sore muscles too - \n\nYou can find a book on "food as medicine" which will add a whole lot to what I posted. \n\nStretching sore muscles also helps them - and if all esle fails, when you go back to practise - you will feel a lot better once the muscles are worked up again.. no matter how sore you are keep working out - as this does take the soreness away too.

Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players on each side. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a pitch.\n\nA player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized leather ball from one set of wooden stumps, called a wicket, towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Another batsman (the partner of the defending player) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with his partner. This scores a run. While the batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball, that is thrown by a fielder strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out, or "dismissed." Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat (innings) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. The innings may also be restricted to a certain number of balls. This is determined before the match, as is whether each team has one or two innings. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try to achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\nCricket has been an established team sport for several centuries. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. In some countries in South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular sport. Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. It is also a prominent minor sport in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Israel, Nepal, and Argentina (see also: International Cricket Council).\n\nThe length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment and outstanding sporting achievements. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most infamous being the Bodyline series played between England and Australia.

How do I get a guy to like me if he only likes pretty girls????

"Pretty" is more an attitude than a look.  The first thing you need is some mojo.  Go stand in front of a mirror until you have some mojo.  Do something that scares you until you have more mojo.  Then, go to a department store, sit at the makeup counter and make one of those hard-hitting labcoat-wearing women get to work on you.  Get some clothes that flatter your figure instead of showing off its shortcomings.  Finally, go back to the mirror and repeat "you want some of THIS?" to yourself OUT LOUD at least 100 times.  Now you are ready for society.  If that guy doesn't like you after that, another guy will.

Even if we disagree on the matter of protests, or who protests, it is something you will have to bring up with our founding fathers. (1st Amendment) Also, in the mid 1970's, there were organized protests by neo-Nazis in the middle of largely Jewish communities that didn't garner this much outrage.  Sad, isnt it?

I am not an expert but when my foot hurt like that it turned black and I had to wear a cast on my leg for 6-8 weeks. It turned out I had not only pulled one tendon but I had also tore one or two tendons on top of that. This happened a year ago when I was in the sixth grade. If it continues to hurt I would consult a physician. I hope your foot gets better and notify me to tell me what is actually wrong with it. It could be what happened to my foot but there are some other possibilities. Again hope you get better!!!


Metrosexual (along with the concept, metrosexuality) is a term coined in 1994 in an article in the The Independent by British journalist Mark Simpson, shortly after the publication of his book about contemporary masculine identity Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity.\n\nIn his seminal essay, Simpson described the effect of consumerism and media proliferation, particularly the men’s style press, on traditional masculinity. The metrosexual, he says, is an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.[1]\n\nIn its sound bite diffusion through the channels of marketers and popular media, who eagerly and constantly reminded their audience that the metrosexual was straight, the metrosexual has congealed into something more digestible for consumers: a heterosexual male who is in touch with his feminine side - he colour coordinates, cares deeply about exfoliation, and has perhaps manscaped.\n\nIn August of 2004, New York-based journalist and author Peter Hyman published a collection of essays entitled The Reluctant Metrosexual: Dispatches From An Almost Hip Life. The book is far from a celebration of metrosexuality (thus his "reluctant" position). To the contrary, Hyman attempts to debunk the term, which he compares to "Generation X." Here, the author reveals his belief that metrosexuality is, more than anything, a marketing ploy:\n\n"The metrosexual revolution is not so much an uprising as it is a more efficient way to sell expensive face creams, allowing marketers to trade on good, old-fashioned insecurity (a method that has been successfully imposed on women for decades). Men with disposable incomes who like to shop, it seems, are this year’s black." [citation needed] \nMen didn't go to shopping malls, so consumer culture promoted the idea of a sensitive guy who went to malls, bought magazines and spent freely to improve his personal appearance. As Simpson put it:\n\n"For some time now, old-fashioned (re)productive, repressed, unmoisturized heterosexuality has been given the pink slip by consumer capitalism. The stoic, self-denying, modest straight male didn't shop enough (his role was to earn money for his wife to spend), and so he had to be replaced by a new kind of man, one less certain of his identity and much more interested in his image – that's to say, one who was much more interested in being looked at (because that's the only way you can be certain you actually exist). A man, in other words, who is an advertiser's walking wet dream." [10] \nThis commercial vision is also adapted in television’s metrosexual archetype: Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The “Fab Five” only transform the appearance of the straight guy and make him use hundreds of dollars worth of cosmetics, but they do not transform an anaclitic person into a narcissistic person.


What do you think they had for dinner at the last supper?

Well bread and gravy were on the menu:\n\nLink 1:\n"Do you know why we break the bread? In the passover feast it was broken to remind the Jews that slaves never had the luxury of a complete loaf. Slave always, which they were in Egypt, had to eat bits and pieces. Today the bread is broken to remind us that Jesus Christ's body was broken on the cross. That's why we eat this. We remember what happened to Him. He died of a broken heart.\n\nNow, at the last supper they had a very small menu. And I don't think butter was on the menu. I don't like eating dry bread, do you? I'm glad that the Bible says that bread and our water will be sure. I almost wish it says that the peanut butter would be sure. He didn't use butter, so what did they do for this dry bread? They dipped it. They dipped it in a sauce. It's still the custom in the Middle East to do this. The sauce is often made of stewed fruit or bitter herbs, or a combination. They would dip the bread, and that's why in another passage of the Bible it's called the sop (see John 13:26 cf.). They sopped up that moisture and ate the bread. For each person to dip out of the same saucer was very meaningful. What it basically meant is that you and I, all of us that is doing this, are saying by doing this tat we are in unity. We're old friends. We're going to share each other's germs here. We're going to share everything. We would die to protect each other. WE are a bonded unit. We're going to be loyal to each other until death. \n\n\nLink 2:\nOn the Last Supper Menu: Was It Leavened or Unleavened Bread?\n\nDid Jesus and his disciples eat leavened or unleavened bread at the Last Supper?\n\n    by Michael P. Germano\n\nThe Argument\n\n    * The Greek word for "leaven" is zume\n    * The Greek for what we read as "unleavened bread" is azumos which is translated more properly as "unleavened" with out the word "bread."\n    * When an author wishes to be specific about the type of "bread" in any incident, he uses azumos. That is, the emphasis is on "unleavened", and not on bread, e.g., I Corinthians 5:8.\n    * The "bread" used at the Last Supper is the more generic Greek artos Hebrew lechem. In fact, Psalm 41:9 which describes a normal meal is used as a prophecy of this supper.\n    * The conclusion drawn from these scriptures is that the last Supper was just that, a normal meal served with leavened bread.\n\nSome churches use leavened bread for communion others employ unleavened bread. Does it make any difference? The answer to that question takes one to denominational doctrine. If you examine the arguments for and against either practice you will find that the dispute generally comes down to whether or not Jesus of Nazareth broke leavened or unleavened bread at the last Supper. As he then commanded his disciples to continue the practice as an important theological metaphor churches seek to follow the example he set. The scholarly literature shows that specialists are of a split opinion. Some believe the last Supper was a Passover Seder with unleavened bread others do not.\n\nArtos is the Greek word for bread. In Greek azumos refers specifically to unleavened bread. Zume is leaven. Can artos be either leavened or unleavened bread? At the occasion of the Last Supper Jesus took artos and "broke it and gave it to them" (Luke 22:19). He then passed it out to his disciples and they ate it. He took some artos, a morsel or piece, which he dipped and gave to Judas (John 13:21-26).\n\nWilliam Dankenbring points out that the Greek word for the bread consumed at the Last Supper was artos. He argues:\n\n    ...that evening we read that Jesus broke "bread" - artos in the Greek language - and they ate of it (Luke 22:19); He took a piece of this bread, and "dipped it," and gave it to Judas, who was to betray Him (John 13:21-26). The word artos is th

I understand that some people have no choice, but to work in the underground cash economy.  However you are not one of those people and it is highly unlikely that the risks you take will be worth it.  Say your job that pays you well finds out and fires you, did you really come out ahead.  Or the IRS could come after you.\n\nIf you do have a lot of free time and you want to make money, I suggest starting your own business.  You should probably get permission from your current job.  Some businesses can almost start out as a hobby in which case you probably could delay reporting your activity to your job if it is a big pain, until you are sure that it will be a business.  For a hobby on your taxes you report income and can deduct expenses up to your income to end up not owing additional taxes.

Do you know the African American slave songs "the Drinking Gourd" or "Tongo?"?

Thanks for sharing those words.\n\nIn addition to looking in the National Archives in D.C., the Smithsonian Field recordings series of the 1920s and 30s should have more plantation songs on them. \n\nLooking in the Caribbean for more songs and sources would also be wise as the music evolved there as well as on the mainland. Early mento and reggae owe a lot to these songs.\n\nIts a fascinating subject as the songs, the stylings and the instruments are all according to the experience and availability of instruments so the results are always different and interesting. The geographic range of this music and its influence is immense, extending from the Caribbean to Central and Eastern North America. Good luck on your search.

In squash, what makes a good return? (see details)?

To be a 'good' return of serve, the ball does not have to cross the short line.\n\nIt can be returned anywhere in court, so long as it does not go 'out' (Touch or go outside of a boundary red line), the ball does have to touch the front wall before touching the floor though, as with all legitimate shots.\n\nServe on the other hand has to be hit above the service line (2nd line up front wall) and has to land inside (Unless it is vollied) the receivers box.\n\nHope this helps.

Dosage is highly variable, some cows are sensitive and a small amount may induce an abortion.


Why is American Football called football, when its like... modified rugby?

Every country that invests a game with a ball that involves kicking that ball calls it football.  If they invent a second sport involving a ball and kicking, and the name football is already taken, they have to think up a different name.  Thus England called soccer football and the second sport invented was called Rugby.  America has its own brand of football, Australia has a brand of football, as does Ireland.  In Australia there is football (Australian Rules Football) and Rubgy and Soccer.  \n\nIt all depends on whether your first popular sport was soccer or you invent something different.
