Should one borrow money from banks to invest in shares /stocks IPO?

Definitely not. While the interest you'll have to pay is fixed, the gains from investing in stocks are not (especially IPOs which are extremely risky, usually individual investors stay away from those). If you're going to invest in anything, buy a bond (assuming it's coupon rate is a lot higher than the interest you'll be paying on your loan, which is probably unlikely). As a rule of thumb, investing is for people who have extra money.

what is the chemical formula of 7-up and pepsi-cola?

Ok its like this...\n\nThe Pepsi-Cola drink contains basic ingredients found in most other similar drinks including carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, colorings, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors.\n\nThis formula proves my previous poster wrong, because Pepsi does no contain Sucrose, it contains High Fructose Corn Syrup.

A Cold War would probably be more properly described as a long term conflict. A war would be defined as a situation where two states engage in direct military combat. There is no doubt that the Soviet Union and the United States engaged in a great political, ideological, economic and even military struggle against one another, but there was almost no instance of direct military conlfict between the two states. Thus, it was a "cold" war rather than a "hot" one, where direct military engagement occurred.\n\nHowever, having said that, it is undeniable that both sides were engaging each other but through the use of proxy states. Thus there was conflict in East and South East Asia must notably in Korea and Vietnam. They also came to the brink of war on more than one occasion, most famously in the Cuban Missile Crisis.\n\nIn sum, the distiction of it being a "Cold" War is an important one, though it actually fact it is more properly defined as an extended bipolar conflict.


PLEASE HELP! i need to know about plants!?

I will split your question in to two parts viz. 1) Photosynthesis and 2) Stomata; so that you can easily understand it.\n 1) PHOTOSYNTHESIS-: for this function entire middle portion of a leaf contributes, it is called MESOPHYLL in botanical language.(Meso = middle or in between; Phyll = refers to leaf). It is located in between the upper and the lower skin or the epidermis of a leaf (Plural epidermes).\n In most of the leaves the MESOPHYLL is again distinguished it to Upper PALISDE tissue and the Lower SPONGY LAYER.\n Both of them are full of chloroplast and do the function of photosynthesis; but there is a difference.\n The palisade cells are located near the upper epidermis,they are elongated,test tube like in appearence and are placed at right angle to the upper epidermis like upright test tubes.( try to see the meaning of palisade in a good dictionary, it is interesting.). These palisade cells are very closely packed with very little space in between and each of them is literally packed with chloroplasts. That is why a leaf appears greener on its upper surface.Thus, they are ideally located to receive maximum sun light and do maximum photosynthesis.\n\nThe Spongy layer , on the other hand , is located near the lower epidermis of a leaf. The cells are spherical or potato shaped and with lots of intercellular spaces between them. Each cell of this layer contains (comparitively) less or far less number of chloroplasts than the palisade of the same leaf.That is why the same leaf appears pale green on its lower surface.\n This Spongy layer does the function of photosynthesis no doubt ; but it is less in quantity than that of Palisade of the same leaf. This is because it is located rather away from the light source and its main function is to help the leaf in gaseous exchange, that is why there are so many intercellular spaces.( here Photosynthesis is over)... \n\n2) STOMATA (singular stoma) -: These breathing pores are neither IN the palisade layer nor IN the spongy layer. They are a PART of the the two epidermes( upper and lower ).\n If one compares the quantity and the distribution of these stomata of one and the same leaf then they are more on the lower epidermis to help the spongy tissue in gaseous exchange during photosynthesis/respiration.\n On the upper epidermis they are far less in number to reduce or prevent exessive water loss due to transpiration.\nIn many desert plants they are either totally absent from the upper epidermis or located in sunken pits for the same reason.\nI hope you got what you sought. Bye.


how much more horsepower do you need for an extra 100lb/?

What did your M3 weigh before? Maybe 3500lbs? Then it's easy enough:\n\n(3500 + 100) / 3500 x 240 = 246.9\n\nYou need another 7bhp. But pay attention to the other answer that mentioned the effect on handling.

is this a stupid question? which one comes out first the chicken or the egg?

Well if I were to guess, I would suppose it was the chicken. I gather this idea from the Bible which says that God created the animals and birds not just eggs for the birds or fowl...\n\nGood luck with your quest! I supppse if you are pondering the great mysteries of life, you might consider this question. If it's a stupid question I have sure heard it asked all of my life. \n\nI know a little bit about chickens, and unless there is a hen to sit on the nest of eggs,  the eggs  would never hatch! They would suffer from cold and then no nurturing if they did happen to hatch. I have watched mother hens and they know a lot when it comes to gathering their chicks up when they feel danger for them. The hen will give them a signal just so the young chicks could all gather around their mother hen so she could fluff her feathers and seem larger and more fomidable while protecting the hatchling chicks.\n\nNot a stupid question, I am only guessing at what I feel explains it for me :)\nruthie~

which 3 teams will be relegated from the barclays primiership this year?

Sunderland's obviously getting relegated this year. No doubt about that. Other two teams? Gonna be a bit tough to predict. Birmingham just tied with Chelsea & got themselves an important point off that match. Portsmouth are also on a win streak right now. West Brom are just above the drop-zone (only because of a better goal-difference than Portsmouth. both have 27 pts.)\n\nBirmingham still have to play (amongst the top-flight) Bolton (twice), Wigan & Newcastle (though the Toon Army might not be able to doo too much).\n\nPortsmouth still play Blackburn, Wigan & Liverpool.\n\nWest Brom play Arsenal & Newcastle.\n\nI think West Brom will save themselves this season, & the final 3 to go down will be Sunderland, Birmingham & Portsmouth. It could change yet though!\n\nPersonally, I would like to see Pompey survive & see West Brom get relegated!


Theres this really cool girl at my school.I like her,but Im not good at talking to girls?

Start slowly by greeting her everyday- a simple hello is a nice way to start smile at her every once in awhile.  Start your conversation with something dealing with school.  For instance, make a reference to how hard or easy a quiz or a test was if she is in the same class. Just start off slow in anything you two can casually talk about-Video's Teachers, the Weather. When ever you are capable of doing so hold open the door or other gentlemanly acts.  Don't trip over yourself to do it and do it very causally. Try to hook up with her as a study buddy or a project partner that way if words fail concerning more social things then you have the project to bring the conversation to.  All this will add to a more comfortable admirer for the both of you and then you could start making your move. OR\nYou can be very Daring and be her secret admirer,  Slip  Slow mail letters in her locker-You need help writing look on the web, Place small gifts where you think she only can get them.  Make nice mixed Cd's for her with romantic songs in them and try to get it safely in her locker.  I know it's a lot but I am a romantic. So you have a choice slow and steady or Sweep her off her feet.

Why do some people not want Turkey to enter the EU because it is Muslim?

Turkey first applied to join the European Community, the pre-cursor of the European Union, in April, 1987.  In 1999, Turkey was recognized as a candidate for EU membership and formal accession negotiations began in October of last year.  The question of Turkish membership is at the heart of most  Turkey’s chances of entering the EU any time soon went way down in June with the failure of the two referenda about ratifying the EU constitution in the Netherlands and France, partly on issues of worry about enlargement and Europe becoming too broad and not deep enough. Certainly, Turkey is a secular state, but it’s a secular state with a very large Muslim population and the fact that France and other European countries are struggling with their own internal immigrant and Muslim populations means that Turkey’s chances to enter the EU have declined.\n\nI see Turkey with full European Union membership as an economic and political asset rather than liability. The EU should have taken in Turkey in years ago and its beneficial impact to the union could have also affected the growth of entire world economies.


Why does bootup stall and red light blink on my burner until I manually turn it off ? Then bootup resumes ..?

If this is an internal drive, try these few things. first, make sure there is not a bootable disk in the drive, next, make sure that your drives jumpers are set at the right orientation ( master, slave) then check the bios by pressing F2 or Del on startup, check and see if your bios are reading the drive correctly. Check all cable connections and reseat them. Maybe try uninstalling Norton and reinstalling and see if that is the problem. You can also update the drivers and if worst comes to worst get a new drive. you can get them direct at newegg.com for around $25

It's called capitalism.  Supply and demand.  Those who have it sell it for as high a price as they can get.  Those who need it have to shop around for the lowest price they can.  Eventually, the gas gets so expensive people will have to walk or ride bikes.  Then fewer people buy it, and the price goes down.  In socialist countries, they put a $2 tax on it to encourage people to walk.\n\nBlowing people up starts wars.  People die.  Doesn't work out well in the long run.

I try to network a XP Pro&Home(workgroup).By switch and cat5.Somehow the connection so unstable. y ?

Browsing is usually a slow process in a workgroup-based network.  This is simply because windows has to search the network to discover the other computers.  I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you have multiple editions of windows XP.  Make sure that the computers actually are in the same workgroup, or it will be slow.  Avoid browsing the network, simply type the name or IP of the computer you want to access directly in the address bar as "\\computername".  The only way to make browsing faster that I am aware of is to have a WINS server.  Traditionally only enterprise networks bother with this.  One last thing; you probably don't need Netbios for anything.  Modern networks only require TCP/IP for local and internet communication.  Turning it off may improve your connection, as windows won't have to inspect the incomming packets for the Netbois protocol.  Tip: for easy access between computers on a workgroup, use the same login credentials on all computers.  Windows will not bother sending domain information with the credentials the first time, so if the username and password happen to be the same, you should be granted access automatically.

You can sue your attorney for malpractice, but this can be difficult and expensive.  In addition to hiring a new trial lawyer, you will need another lawyer to testify as an expert witness on your behalf.  Any type of professional negligence case must be supported by expert testimony that the defendant's conduct fell below the standard of care.  You also must proved that you should have won the prior without if it weren't for the first attorney's negligence. Finally, you must show that you could have collected the judgment if you HAD one.


do u think dormitory in the university is always noisy and non-privacy?

It depends on the type of the dorm and the university itself.  Yes, there will be constant noise because it is a college campus, but if you get a single, then you can close the door when you want to study.  If you have roommates and they like to make noise, then you probably have to head down to the library to get some real work done.  There are fewer distractions there anyway.


What are the main foods of the different covenants that God had with man(ie apples adam, milk and honey, Moses

Adam had the whole garden,..but sorry, an apple was not mentioned in Gen.  The people of Moses ate manna, angels food.

AND the seed of Abraham, we do now live in that land of milk and honey, this good ol USA.\nIf you want to know the food instructions that God left for us and what God considers clean and unclean, Lev. 11 tells all the foods that God gives us with thanksgiving to be RECEIVED.

Love is truly CARING about a person, you think of them before yourself, and it comes over a longer period of time. After establishing a close and solid relasionship/friendship with a person, and reveals itslef slowly as you get to know each other. Love tends to find you in unexpected ways, sometimes its there all along but you cant see it. you wont find it by going out looking for it. It has nothing to do with sex, and it could (if it had to) survive without it. although to really fancy them madly is of course neccessary to make a success of a relasionship! Lust is great too! its when you feel like you are in love but you could have absolutely nothing in common with the person, or not even know them at all! It is animal attraction and is awesome but it takes over your powers of reason. Dangerous stuff. Love is reasonable and caring and makes you feel really calm and happy rather than excited and hot! Of course if you can find love with someone you also lust after that is perfect!!

is it weird to be in a long relationships like 3 or 2 years with out having any sex?

NO. not at all. First of all, I would like to congratulate you two. You're a match made in heaven. Basically, the bible states that sex is a blessing given to married couples. If you're just living together and not having sex, that's absolutely perfect. It's the most exciting thing you can have once you get married. But if you guys are married but not having sex... then there really is a problem behind that. Try talking to your partner about that.


not really. This is more like an opinion not a fact. Your asking something that doesnt have a meaning to.\n\nIs it important to fart?.\n\nIs it important to urinate?.\n\nhmm how bout is it important to burp like your dog?. \n\nEveryone has their biased views.

Before launch, the shuttle crew activates the the ship's rockets. At t=0, the Solid Rocket Boosters or SRBs are activated to provide the initial lift. As the name implies, the SRBs run on solid fuel in order to maximize thrust, but the design has a major drawback. Combustion of the solid fuel cannot be controlled in any way, and it will continue to burn the rest of the way until the fuel runs out 5 minutes later. So, the ship is stabilized before ignition.  After 5 minutes, the SRBs are jettisoned to lessen weight and the SRBs parachute back to earth. The shuttle continues on with the fuel in the external tank (the orange cone) attatched to its belly until the fuel it contains is used up 30 minutes later. That is then it is also jettisoned, but unlike the SRBs, the external tanks remain in space, for good. The shuttle then maneuvers itself around using its own fuel and thrusters to do the job it came up for. It may dock with the ISS, do some repairs, release its sattelite cargo or do whatever it came up to do.\n\nWhen it's time to head home, the shuttle again uses its thrusters and boosters to maneuver itself into low orbit and heads into the atmosphere for re-entry. As the shuttle heads deeper into Earth's atmosphere, friction between the shuttle and the air increases. The space shuttle is purposely built to utilize this effect for re-entry. Its design incorporates a flat base on the underside. That part and some others are generously covered with special ceramic tiles that can withstand temperatures up to 5000 degrees, depending on the thickness. So, the shuttle maximizes friction during re-entry by facing its underside to the direction it is travelling to, using the red-hot ceramic tiles to absorb the heat while slowing itself down. It is a dangerous procedure. If only one of the tiles cracked, went loose or dropped, the shuttle will disintegrate like shuttle Columbia. If the shuttle survives, it heads to its planned destination - a commercial runway. It slowly shifts its flying position back to aircraft-style and lands using landing gears and brake parachute.


Do you think the U.S. will engage if China invades Taiwan?

I think the bigger question is will China go to war with Taiwan; Will China Invade Taiwan. In this modern age, it is highly unlikely that the situation will arise given the vast information that can spread in a heartbeat around the world about an action. The US and USSR were in a cold war for decades without committing a first strike, and the result ended peacably. The Republic of China and the Peoples Republic have been at a similar standoff for a similar number of years, and no action will happen that would mar China's building honor in the world spotlight.

what function does squelch perform for a radio?

The squelch establishes a threshold based off of the received signal strength to determine whether the received audio should be muted or not.\n\nIts use is to keep the receiver quiet when there is no intelligible signal to be received, or in other words, mute the static noise when no one is transmitting so the receiver doesn't become annoying to listen to.\n\nNormally, the squelch level is set just above the point of the ambient radio noise being received, so the receiver is quiet.  When a signal stronger than the squelch threshold is received, the squelch "opens" and you hear the audio through the speaker.\n\nThere are other schemes for squelching the unwanted noise, and sometimes unwanted transmissions of other users on a frequency.  Some include transmitting a sub-audible tone along with the audio (also known as CTCSS or PL), or prefacing each transmission with a quick series of DTMF (touch tones) numbers or a short burst of data.  Each of these signals the receiver to open the squelch for the duration of the transmission.

How secure are the levies in New Orleans today ?

I live in Slidell, LA on the northshore of Lake Ponchatrain and can tell you that the levies are barely up to the standards before Hurricane Katrina.  While politicians in the state and on the federal level complain and bicker, time is being wasted as the huirricane seaon is only a couple months away.  I have never lived in New Orleans directly but would advice people that it is not a safe place environmentally or sanitarily.  Basic power and water are not available to 35-50% of the New Orleans East and most of that area is virtually untouch since Katrina!!!  my career has directed me toward the MS Gulf Coast where I am seeing vast improvements to the area as opposed to New Orleans.  Please remember the Mississippi Gulf Coast when thinking of Katrina.  The devestation here is something that needs to be seen to believed.


If James Bond decided to receive Christ, does he have to give up killing people and sleeping with women?

You know of course that James Bond is not a real person.If a person like James Bond killed people in the service of his country or some other line of duty, that is not considered murder.  I guess the same could be said for sleeping with the women, but I am not sure of that because I am sure he takes great pleasure from it.


Why would someone want to learn a dead language such as latin?

Linguistically, it helps you learn more about another language. Historically, it helps you understand literature and other cultural factors in the society that spoke it. Pragmatically, there are professions that require basic knowledge of a dead language (e.g., law, medicine, priesthood, etc.)


Have you forgotten that PresBush was NOT ALLOWED to do anything prior to Katrina bc Gov and Mayor wanted cntrl

No one knows that because the media won't tell that story.  The media control what people know and what they don't know.  It's a conspiracy, pure and simple.  Bush did everything he was supposed to do in New Orleans and Nagin and that stupid bitch governor sat around and tried to figure out how to look composed and in charge.\n\nNevertheless, the media has everyone convinced that it was all Bush's fault.


why don't mosquitoes die off in the winter? Why are there some left to continue on from year to year?

If only they would die!!\n\nHOWEVER...\n\nNot only can some of the mosquito eggs survive the winter, it is shown that even some adult females (the biting ones) may survive as well.  Granted, most do not.  \n\nEggs are by far the hardiest.  There have been cases where eggs have survived up to 7 years before hatching (in areas where a hard freeze occurs in the winter).  Although the likelihood of an egg surviving decreases exponentially each year, some always seem to make it.  This also explains why the number of mosquitoes can be so overwhelming after a region gets a great deal of precipitation (causing areas that normally don't have standing water during rainy seasons to have standing water).  Not only are you dealing with the mosquitoes from the current year, but all of the eggs hatching from the previous years that did not have enough water for them to "hatch".\n\nThe physiology and mechanism of their surviving the freezing temperatures is beyond me!\n\nI hope this has helped explain at least part of your question.


How much is a five over speeding ticket?

you need to call the court house they change from state state and even city to city.  Also if you are that polite when you show up in court and they see it is your first infraction they may even lower it more.  I was going 15 above and when i went to court they saw i had a long and good driving record and the judge lowered the speed and fine so less points would be taken off my license

I get migraines from stress that last for days at a time. How can I get rid of it when I have one?

I just answered a similar question for someone else. I'll paste the answer below. Also...Excedrin now puts out "Excedrin Migraines". I've found that on the rare migraine I get now...it helps a lot! \n\nAnyway, here is how I finally stopped getting migraines so frequently:\n\nMigraines are caused by fluctuating hormones. I've suffered from them terribly! I finally found a doctor who gave me this advice...and it's very rare now that I get them! :)\n\nHe told me to stay away from the following foods for a week before my period is due..and until my period stops:\n\nOnions, caffeine, chocolate, red wine, cheeses, foods with electrolytes and nitrates (such as gatorade, bacon, ham, processed meats), nuts, dried fruit and yogurt.\n\nSounds like there is nothing left to eat..but you manage to find things when the alternate is those AWFUL migraines.\n\nI hope this helps you too!


My girlfriend wanted time off.  So I left that moment she told me about it.  Is that wrong?

You need to talk to her about the problem and leave out the whole "time off" or "break" thing.  That's how misunderstandings happen.  Your whole situation reminds me of the episode of Friends where Ross and Rachel are on a break.  I know that's a sitcom but you wouldn't want to break up without really knowing for sure what's going on. You need to talk things through with her and you need to tell her everything that is on your mind.

How do you feel about the new changes to nursery rhymes etc due to them being racist/offensive?

its retarted... i dont mean to offend anyone here... but this is my opinion.\n\nfirst of all... i think its ok to say black sheep on tv. if people interpret it differently thats they own dam luck... they shouldnt watch the dam show.\n\nsecond of all... tv censorship is getting out of control... children hear stuff on  the streets and at home (faul language). there is no need to censor certain words.\n\npeople change things because they are afraid of getting sued or something like that. racism or anything should not be the answer to everything. otherwise i could walk down the road and see a sign in a shop that says "sizzling sausages on sale here". i could interpret it as sexual.\n\nin the longrun its all bullshit. unless its something real not like a black sheap, it should be left alone. i mean come on, get real !

How do i kick a soccer ball farther and higher, for better crosses on the feild?

It helps to get some lift under the ball, which you do by striking it slightly underneath it.  The top part of your foot, just down from the toes, will be hitting the ball.\n\nAlso if your plant foot (the foot not striking the ball) is further back from the ball when you kick, that will cause the ball to go up more rather than shoot along the ground.\n\nEven if you don't have a very strong leg, good technique will go a long way to getting those higher, farther kicks you want.

"Doesn't this tell you that she's only supporting what's popular, in order to gain popularity?"\n\nExactly.\n\nI know where you're coming from with the illegal immigration issue, but how do you know what it's like to be in their position? They're working their butts off to pay for their family's expenses while americans on the other half are working to gain money to buy things that tickle their fancy.  Not all money should go to the economy here in the U.S. anyway..... it may cause inflation and the U.S. has enough money to begin with. You probably know immigrants are only doing it for their own good.... but what if you were them?\nSome immigrants do it the illegal way because they have no clue whereabouts to do it legally or don't know a word of English. I know this because my mom came into the U.S from Mexico.... the legal way, though.\n\nBy the way, isn't it funny when the word immigrant comes about, Mexicans are the ones who come to mind? Mexicans aren't the only ones....There are Asians, Irish, Germans, ect. too. Just something to keep in mind.


what do you do when your other half comes home drunk and does not fix dinner for the kids , goes right to bed?

Once in a while OK. Although you would normally know ahead of time if he was going to a stag party, office night out, night out with boys etc.\n\nSo if its a rare occasion, cut him some slack. Have some humour in the morning when he's got the big hangover. Make him a coffee, have a good smirk.\n\nYou made a big deal about him not fixing dinner for the kids. Are you on strike or something? Theirs a little fly in your ointment here.\n\nIf its a regular occurrence, then, you shouldn't need us to tell you that there is a problem.\n\nThere are 3 ways to go #3 is not good.\n\n1.

The pigments belong to a group of chemicals called flavonoids.\nPlants make all the things they need from carbon dioxide in the air and water from the soil (this is photosynthesis) plus minerals (e.g. nitrates, sulphates, phosphates, etc.)from the soil.\nThe pigment you mention and any other colour you see in plants is made by the plant.\nPlants make themselves.


Men i need to know how quick you fall in love and how do you know its real?

Thing is . . . men . . . fall in and out of lust easily.  As for love . . . it takes a little while to determine whether it is love or not.\n\nHonestly . . . when we are interested in a girl . . . it isn't because of what you say is "Love at first site" but it is acutally "Lust at first site."  You get us hot and hard . . . with your look, you attitude, and other things you do.\n\nAfter we have gotten to know you well enough . . . then we can determine if it may be love or not.  You may be a good lay . . . but as a conversationalist or a friend . . . who knows.  If a guy really loves you . . . he will tell you (without being prompted).  Please note . . . if he tell you this during a date . . . or before he gets into your pants . . . 9 out 10 cases he doesn't mean it.\n\nBefore a man falls in love with a women . . . he has to lust for her first.  Then get to know her . . . inside and out . . . in my opinion . . . it should be the same thing with women . . . but women get too emotional with the people they have sex with and mixt the signals. (why else do you thing divorce rates are sooo high . . . women pressuring men to get married, when they were too young or not the right one.)

Will Barry Bonds confess to using steriods or keep denying it?

Not no but HELL NO!  He doesn't want his record to be taken from him.  Even though 99.99% of people know he's guilty.  He wants to go down as one of the greatest baseball players in history; even if he did cheat his way into the record books and the Hall of Fame.  But now that he's quit for the new testing "laws" that have been put into effect he's a worthless player, 1 HR and a .222 AVG.  See what happens when the juice wears off Barry?  Plus his body is starting to fall apart.  Now that he doesn't have the juice to repair his body parts his knee is falling apart. He's a JOKE, and will never admit to using steroids.  Remember the phony story about his "accidental" use?  How the hell do you accidentally stick yourself in the ass with a needle?  Must have slipped and fell!


Is it hard to get pregnant with a tipped uterus?

I had a tipped uterus. I have three children. It's a little harder, but it still is very possible. It just may take a little longer. The main thing is not to try too hard. You get pregnant when you're not trying so hard.


is Dennis Oliech  deserve being included in 1st eleven?

I just can't believe it dude! So there are american people who know my town's team? I've seen him play several times: he's fast, has a good technical level, and he knows well how to call for the ball at the right time. The only negative point, is that he doesn't seem to integrate himself well in the team strategy. In France, we would say that he seems to be a bit too "perso". But I do think he could be Nantes's greatest offensive player next season. Unfortunately, the only one that doesn't understand that he deserves to be part of the first eleven seems to be Serge Le Dizet (Nantes's coach)...

Many people have heart palpitations. Kudos to you for managing to take the risk factor smoking out of the picture!! \nNow all you need to do is monitor your palpitations. The American Stroke Society recommends taking your pulse for 1 - 2 minutes once a month. Maybe do it on the first of every month?! \nI am mentioning the American Stroke Society and not the Cardiologists because one of the most biggest problems arising from palpitations is that they can turn into Atrial Fibrillation. That is a very fast, very erratic heartbeat that you can feel in your pulse. When the heart gets off beat like that, you run a high risk of getting a small blood clot in your heart from the also erratic blood movement that will be pushed out of the heart, often straight into the lungs or brain, causing a lung embolism or a stroke. And trust me, you want neither! \nIf you feel your heart beats really erratic, go and get an ECG written, that´s a quick, simple and cheap way of checking what´s going on. \n\nOf course, this is the worst case scenario. For the moment you are most likely fine since many, many people have palpitations and for most they´ll just stay palpitations so you don´t need to worry. But you have to be aware of the possibility of them turning into something more serious. \nHope that helped :-D\n\nBy the way, if you feel your heart starting to be a bit erratic there are 2 great and fast ways to get it back to a more slow and normal rhythm that sound way too simple to be true but work great:\nOne is to hold your breath and "press" as if you´re going to the bathroom for a couple of seconds. This is not recommended for people with high blood pressure though :-D\nThe other one is drinking a glass with really cold water. Go ahead and try it, it is also recommended by the American Heart Association :-D


i am thin! i'm 6'01 and i weigh only 60 kg. what should i eat to have a healthy body?

I used to be very thin.  I got no girls and the guys all thought I was weak even though I was actually pretty healthy and strong. \n\nAnyway, I stopped smoking cigarettes, and I started going to the gym.  I went kind of crazy but I recommend you go pretty heavy but slow and reasonable.  \n\nGet yourself a basic book on bodybuilding.  Basic!  \n\nDon't worry about supplements but here is the secret which made me gain 5o pounds in 5 months.  Eat like you are crazy.  \n\nI don't mean big amounts at one time but if you consume 800 quality calories every hour(set an alarm).\n\nI ate normal foods.  But absolutley not chocolate or candy.  This stuff will burn off too quickly.\n\nI ate alot of chicken sandwiches with cheese and monster cheese burgers. Fried chicken, potato salad.  Vegetables are important but eat those last after you ate some heavy stuff.  \n\nAnd finally, don't go overboard.  Thin people look really cool in their clothes.  And later in life you will be happy to be thin and probably increase you life span by staying thin.  \n\nBut, right now you want chics and that is understandable.  Put on about 15 kilos and be done with it.  You won't lose it again after you gain it.\n\nI am glad I put on wieght, but right now I have a nice middle sized body and I am not sef conscious at all.  \n\nAlso, get somoe cool clothes.  You don't have to spend a lot of money but try to fashion it up a bit.  \n\nAnd also, getting girls is a numbers game.  You said you don't "attract" the girls.  How do you know?  Anyway, it doesn't normally work like that.  You have to be proactive and learn that if you get rejected, that is just one more rejection closer to the one(or two) that are going to say OK.\n\nAlso, you are pretty young.  Girls your age are somtimes pretty shallow.  They care about cars, money, popularity, etc.  The wonderful thing about those kind is that they are very easy to manipulate once you finally turn the tables. \n\nAnd you won't feel guilty about manipulating them.  They are bitches right?\n\nBut don't treat the nice ones bad.  Treat them nice and appreciate them.  But, always kind of keep in mind that you could get burned by a chic that you really like.  If you are prepared for it and realize that there is always another one then this won't hurt you.\n\nWomen sometimes call us pigs but sometimes they create the loathsome woman-haters by showing themselves to be unworthy of a man's sincerety.  It works the other way too.\n\nGirls your age would prefer to get the shalloe glory from telling their friends who they rejected, than to just actually have a boyfriend and be getting shagged.  \n\nBut later, after about age 25, if you haven't already turned the tables then the table will turn automatically.\n\nThey will be getting fat and old and leeching for a man to marry.  While a man usually just gets more distinguished looking with age.  And you, you will be your tall svelt self, and buddy, you will be dangerous.

Deja Vu, what exactly does it mean? and what language is this???

Its French.\nThe term déjà vu (French: "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. The term was created by a French psychic researcher, Emile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques (The Future of Psychic Sciences), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate French concentrator at the University of Chicago. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness" or "strangeness" or "weirdness". The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.\n\nThe experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% or more of the population report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. However, in laboratory settings, it is extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience, making it a subject with few empirical studies.

Why are we so bad with spelling and grammar as a society nowadays?

As the society drifts further from its Judeo-Christian moorings, it loses its reason to care about real literacy.  The shift is from the word (or more appropriately, the proposition) to the multimedia "image," which can include words (as a soundbite) but is predominantly visual and always aimed at emotive, rather than mental, impact.  With a vast educational establishment, it has taken a while for spelling and grammar to become affected, but they have been.  Absent another Great Awakening, look for it to become worse instead of better, and look for the church and the synagogue to once again become repositories of print culture (and therefore, Western civilization).\nWhy the connection with Judeo-Christianity?  The adherents of propositionally revealed religion have been the custodians and promoters of literacy wherever they went.  The history of the modern literacy movement *is,* to a large extent, the history of what Christians have done.  Even today, virtually the only people willing to help reduce an unwritten language to writing and teach a people group to read their own language are Christian missionaries.


I was always tired and could not figure out why and then was sent for a sleep study and found I had sleep apnea.  When they finally put the mask on me and I went to sleep, something I thought I was doing at home, I slept better than I had in years and that couple of hours on that machine was fantastic.  I could not believe the difference.  Then it was explained to me what was happening.  I was not conscious of it but was waking many times every hour so did not get the deep sleep I needed, thus I was always worn out.  When I got my machine, I slept like a baby and was not so tired any more.  I found that those that have apnea can have more chance of heart attack, stroke, and all sorts of nasty things that can cause you to die as you are not breathing as you should, nor are you getting the rest you need so eventually it can kill.  So are they worth it?  You bet!!!  The machines are very expensive but well worth having.  I have had one for over ten years now and sleep very well where before I got it was worn out all the time.  What is a good nights sleep and good health worth to you?  If I had it to do over again I would do it earlier so I think it is very worthwhile doing the study.  Good luck.  Sweet dreams!!!

Yes.\n\nYes, or well, our soul does, not our ego :)\n\nFor Christian references, see:\n\nGospel of John, Chapter 9, 1-3.\n\n(IMO, the disciples ask a question related to the working out of karma and rebirth. It has nothing to do with oroginal sin (why ask the question, if that was the answer?) or with other teachings of the day (why ask Christ in such a specific way? It must relate to a conversation they had earlier with the Christ). We are told several times in the Bible, that the disciples are given teachings, that the common crowd is not yet ready for (their ears haven't yet "opened", their souls are asleep).)


minnesota warrants is there a statue of limitations?

A warrant expires only if it is allowed to. If a warrant is close to it's expiration, then the judge usually renews it. There is no statute for limitations on warrants. There are statutes for limitations on some crimes (not all) and the limitations are for the period of time between when the crime is committed and when the person is charged.\n\nOnce a person is charged with a crime, the statue of limitations does not apply.

I think if you make an offer tagged with "this is all i have" and explain how badly you want this horse and how timid she is and how she only lets you ride her, then I think that you will win them over! good luck!


I need to 4 stages of mitosis of anatomy & physiology?

Phases of mitosis\n \nThe cell cycle.The mitotic phase is a relatively short action-packed period of the cell cycle. It alternates with the much longer interphase, where the cell prepares itself for division. Interphase is divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap). During all three phases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. However, chromosomes are replicated only during the S phase. Thus, a cell grows (G1), continues to grow as it duplicates its chromosomes (S), grows more and prepares for mitosis (G2), and divides (M).\n\nMitosis is a continual and dynamic process. For purposes of description, however, mitosis is conventionally broken down into five subphases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.\n\n[edit]\nProphase\n \nProphase: The two round objects above the nucleus are the centrosomes. Note the condensed chromatin.Main article: Prophase \nNormally, the genetic material in the nucleus is in a loosely bundled coil called chromatin. At the onset of prophase, chromatin condenses together into a highly ordered structure called a chromosome. Since the genetic material has already been duplicated earlier in S phase, the chromosomes have two sister chromatids, bound together at the centromere by the protein cohesin. Chromosomes are visible at high magnification through a light microscope.\n\nJust outside the nucleus are two centrosomes. Each centrosome, which was replicated earlier independent of mitosis, acts as a coordinating center for the cell's microtubules. The two centrosomes sprout microtubules (which may be thought of as cellular ropes or poles) by polymerizing free-floating tubulin protein. By repulsive interaction of these microtubules with each other, the centrosomes push themselves to opposite ends of the cell (although new research has shown that there might be a mechanism inside the centromeres that also grab the microtubules and pull the chromatids apart). The network of microtubules is the beginning of the mitotic spindle.\n\nSome centrosomes contain a pair of centrioles that may help organize microtubule assembly, but they are not essential to formation of the mitotic spindle. Plant cells that lack centrioles have no trouble undergoing mitosis.\n\n[edit]\nPrometaphase\n \nPrometaphase: The nuclear membrane has degraded, and microtubules have invaded the nuclear space. These microtubules can attach to kinetochores or they can interact with opposing microtubules.Main article: Prometaphase \nThe nuclear envelope dissolves and microtubules invade the nuclear space. This is called open mitosis, and it occurs in most multicellular organisms. Some protists, such as algae, undergo a variation called closed mitosis where the microtubules are able to penetrate an intact nuclear envelope.\n\nEach chromosome forms two kinetochores at the centromere, one attached at each chromatid. A kinetochore is a complex protein structure that is analogous to a ring for the microtubule hook; it is the point where microtubules attach themselves to the chromosome. Although the kinetochore is not fully understood, it is known that it contains a molecular motor. When a microtubule connects with the kinetochore, the motor activates, using energy from ATP to "crawl" up the tube toward the originating centrosome. The kinetochore provides the pulling force necessary to later separate the chromosome's two chromatids.\n\nWhen the spindle grows to sufficient length, kinetochore microtubules begin searching for kinetochores to attach to. A number of nonkinetochore microtubules find and interact with corresponding nonkinetochore microtubules from the opposite centrosome to form the mitotic spindle.CXV\n\nPrometaphase is sometimes considered part of prophase.\n\n[edit]\nMetaphase\n \nMetaphase: The chromosomes have aligned at the metaphase plate.Main article: Metaphase \nAs microtubules find and attach to kinetochores in prometaphase, the centro


do you belive in ghists? if so, what kind of encounters have you had with them?

SSam! You are sooooo coool! Too bad yer married! I believe in ghosts (sometimes) but they don't haunt me because they don't think I'm cool enough. I DID have a dream about robots in outer-space last night! Does that count? :-D\nRemember, San Diego is the best.


where did chefs live in the middle ages?

i think the only chefs around were working for royalty and living in castles.  no one else could afford to have a chef except for prehaps rich merchants.  other people like breadmakers and brewers would have shops at a market, people would come to them at their farm or they'd have a shop in town that they most likely lived above.


I am looking for a picture of a 1991 chevy engine. I want to know what is the round thing next to the carb.?

Go to your local auto-parts store and look in a repair manual (Chilton's or Haynes) for the year of the vehicle.\n Like the other has said it is probly the EGR valve. Or  a vaccuum valve for a cruise control. Anyway it should not be shaking. And holding it still causes the engine to run smoother? If this thing does not have any wires runninig off of it. Then it has a vaccuum leak. Reattach it to be solidly mounted or replace it.\n If this is a vaccuum valve then there should be a diagram of the vaccuum hose layout on a sticker under the hood. And this component should be named in that diagram.

If I left my current job and have 26 paid time off days left do they pay me for that?

It ALL depends on their policy.  You should have received a copy of the policies and procedures manual when you first started.  Some PTO is accrued and payable, some is not.  AND, I would not recommend taking your days off and then quitting, employers frown on that and you might burn a bridge or the chance of a good referral when you need it!!


Is body dismorphic disorder something that can be"gotten over"?

How Do you Become A Doctor? What Score In Your HSC?

This is what you need to do.\n\n1) In high school, take all the college prep courses, especially the science and math courses. You have to be good at these subjects, or choose another career.\n\n2) Four years of Pre-Med, with emphasis on a bachelor's degree in bilogy, or chemistry.\n\n3)If you are fortunate enough to get accepted into med-school, you have 4 years of hard work studying the general  aspects of medicine and general surgery.\n\n4) After you get your MD's degreeyou will have to pass a medical board to practice medicine as an intern in a hospital. After the one year internship is over, you can opt to become a generalpractioner, if that is your fancy. \n\n5) If you want to be a specialist in a medical field, such as internal medicine, you have a 3-5 year residency at a hospital, before you can get board certified in your area of specialization.


The sunspot cycle is caused by irregularly shaped magnetic field lines caused by differences in rotation speed of the surface of the sun and they are also caused by electrical currents caused by the effect of the suns natural magnetic field on the plasma in the surface and corona of the sun. The sunspots are auctually cold spots on the suns surface that are caused by the magnetic field lines repelling charged plasma on the suns surface.


sending letters to government officials?

YES YOU CAN WRITE THEM,CALL THEM AND EMAIL THEM!! YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WORK FOR US!! http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/Surprisingly few people ever write to their United States senators or congressional representatives. Perhaps ninety percent of our citizens live and die without ever taking pen in hand and expressing a single opinion to the people who represent them in Congress. This reluctance to communicate results from the typical and understandable feeling that legislators have no time or inclination to read their mail, that a letter probably won't be answered or answered satisfactorily, that one letter won't make any difference anyway. Based on my own experience, and speaking for myself at least, I can state flatly that these notions are wrong.    *  Write your own views--not someone else's. A personal letter is far better than a form letter, or signature on a petition. Many people will sign petition without reading it just to avoid offending the circulator; form letters are readily recognizable--they usually arrive in batches and usually register the sentiments of the person or lobbying group preparing the form. Form letters often receive form replies. Anyway, I usually know what the major lobbying groups are saying, but I don't often know of your experiences and observations, or what the proposed bill will do to you and for you. A sincere, well-thought-out letter from you can help fill this gap;\n\n    * Give your reasons for taking a stand. Statements such as "Vote against H.R. 100; I'm bitterly opposed" don't help much, but a letter which says, for example, "I'm a small hardware dealer, and H.R. 100 will put me out of business for the following reasons . . ." tells me a lot more.  Maybe I didn't know all the effects of the bill, and your letter will help me understand what it means to an important segment of my constituency.

Can a person who sits in on someones court case speak to the judge?

If you have something material to add, you need to contact the attorney.  You could cause a mistrial if you just try and talk to the judge.  It also really depends on what kind of case it is.  Don't even try it for a criminal case--if it's something like a child custody case it might be different.

two types of neuronal transmissions and how they differ?

Saltatory transmission and non saltatory transmissions.Saltatory transmission happens in myelinated neurons, the impulse jumps from one node of Ranvier to the next one. It is faster than the non saltatory one that happens in the unmyelinated neuron where the impulse travels throughout the whole axon.

wot is the difference btwn ddram and sdram? also how much more effective is ddr2 than ddr?

ddr and sd ram are both synchronous -- meaning that\nrather than responding as soon as an input signal\nchanges, they respond based on a clock cycle.  sd ram\ncan respond once per clock, whereas ddr (double data rate)\ncan transmit data on both the rising and falling edge of\nthe clock.\n\nddr2 is the same design as ddr (synchronous, both edges),\nbut it has been modified to run at a higher clock rate.\nFor large transfers, it can simply transmit more data\nin a fixed amount of time.\n\nYour computer was designed for some fixed types of memory.\nIf it was designed for a synchronous interface, then\nyou had better use synchronous memory.  Similarly, if\nit was only designed for only ddr memory, then it's not \nlikely to work with ddr2.\n\nAs for mixing *sizes* of memory, let your machine specs\nbe your guide :-)  I have worked on servers which required\nmemory to be installed in banks of 2 or 4 slots at a time\n(and each of those had to be identical).  On the other\nhand, I have a 256MB and a 512MB in an old laptop, and\nthat works fine.  My point is that where ever you buy \nyour memory should be able to look up what is supported\non your particular machine.

First to answer all problems right will be chosen for best answer?

Seeing as you've gone to all that trouble writing it out, and I'm bored...\n\n1. 2(-5)-3(1)=-13, so yes it is correct.\n2. It is the origin, so it lies in all quadrants.\n3. Third and fourth quadrant.\n4. Straight lines, as the variables are of only the first degree.\n5. Basic line equation for a straight line, so linear. m is gradient, c is y-intercept.\n6. This depends on the degree of the variable, e.g. x^3 is a cubic function.\n7-10. Do yourself!\n11. m- gradient, x- explanatory variable, b- y-intercept.\n12. y intercept from above logic is 8, as b=8. Also, y intercepts line x=0. Let x=0 and y=8.\n13. Assuming f(x)=y, then again the answer is -2/3.\n\n\nThis really is basic!

How is it that Federer had so many aces against Agassi but doesn't use aces against Nadal ?

A major reason Federer can Ace Agassi more often than he can Nadal is that Nadal is much faster on court.  You are talking about placement and speed of the ball and if you hit the outside corner on Agassi you may get it by him, but because Nadal is faster, he has more opportunity to get to the ball.  This is much the same reason Federer has problems beating Nadal on clay.  Clay is a much slower surface and Nadal's speed matched with the speed (slowness) of the ball makes it a much better surface for Nadal than Federer.

Why most people dislike disables to use handicap facilities such as parking ?

I live in UK and have blue badges,for parking and I get dirty looks and aggression when I am parking in a disabled  parking bay, this aggression has come from disabled as well as abled people. disabled people sometimes say that I should be ashamed of myself, for parking in a disabled bay, because I don't look disabled, "where are your blue badges" My reply is "It will cost you £20 to find out" I am disabled and I don't need to prove it to every idiot, that tries to challenge me. It takes a doctor or a specialist to make that decision, and he has.

Refinancing for debt consolidation -- second mortgage benefits?

Even though your first mortgage rate is at 5.625%, you would have to consider your blend rate if you opt for a second mortgage. Either way (HELOC or HELON), your interest rate will be much higher than your current rate, so if your blend rate matches or is better than the current interest rates now, then you might be better off just refinancing your property. You also have to consider how long you plan on staying that the current location know. This will allow you to know if your going to recover the cost of the refinancing. Obviously if you do a HELOC or HELON and there are costs associated with them, you will not recover the cost of those items, unless you factor in the interest of the debt consolidation and what your saving in doing that. If you need clarification, feel free to contact me directly.


I have a pop up that says that an error has occured. it is makin all my internet tasks disappear. HELP!?

Yeah, if you're using Limewire, there's a good chance you've got a virus or some other form of malicious programs on your computer.\n\nDownload a good anti-virus program and do a full scan of your system.\n\nAfter that, go download Firefox (sourced) and use that instead of Internet Explorer. It's a web browser just like Internet Explorer, only it's MUCH safer to use. Internet Explorer has MANY security holes that make your computer very vulnerable to virus attacks. Firefox doesn't have these security holes, making it MUCH safer to use than Explorer.

Wear a suit to church.  Is this a day or dinner cruise, or a multi-day vacation.  If it is just for the day, or for dinner then a sport coat will suffice.  If it is a longer cruise you will need a variety of clothing including your tuxedo for dinner at the Captain's table.


Has anybody else been diagnosed with dermographism?

First, it most definitely is NOT a neurotic action, it is one of the physical urticarias (hives due to a physical cause). While it is a chronic condition, it can eventually go into remission. \n\nI developed and was diagnosed with dermographism approx. 20 years ago. I also have chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than 6 weeks - mine have lasted most of my life), and dermographism is often seen with that. The worst of my dermographism settled down 6-8 years ago, but it has never completely gone away. If I am having a bad day with my other health problems, it tends to be more pronounced. But most days I just get a little red from rubbing/scratching, rather than great big welts. \n\nI was part of the largest online support group for hivers for many years, working with thousands of people who have chronic hives, including many with dermographism. I can tell you that many people do go into remission, I've seen it happen many times, and it doesn't have to take years and years. Some go into remission in a few months, some a few years, although some do suffer for several years.... Urticaria is a very individualized disease, and everyone is different. Unfortunately no one can tell you with any certainty when or if your dermographism will go away. But the odds are in your favor....\n\nI have been on most antihistamines that have been on the market, including Atarax (hydroxyzine) and Allegra. Atarax always works great for me, although leaves me sleepy. Allegra is garbage, does not work at all for me. (Same with Claritin.) I have been on antihistamines every day for 20 years, and often prescribed at doses much higher than used to treat allergies - that's normal protocol for treating chronic hives. I have not suffered any ill effects from being on them, other than dry mouth (Biotene makes a lot of great products to help counter that).\n\nOverall antihistamines are safe for the long term, according to all my doctors and the research I've done, since I too had the same concerns at first. My only concern would be taking any newer antihistamines, since there have been problems in the past with some that eventually had to be pulled from the US market - notably Seldane and Hismanil. I prefer to stick with the older antihistamines for that reason....

If you can find a homeopath that has at least 10 years of experience then go for it!\n\nHomeopathy is a very effective system of treatment when practised properly. The only problem I've found is there aren't many well trained homeopaths around. Homeopathy has become more and more popular over the last few decades, but with that has come a lot of schools whose teaching is less than stellar. Sadly, the result of this is it makes homeopathy look bad when in fact it is poor training available in most schools of homeopathy. \n\nIncidentally, naturopaths are not homeopaths -- they only have a cursory training in homeopathy, and, more often than not apply it in the wrong manner!\n\nAlso, herbology is quite different to homeopathy. \n\nI've been lucky enough to have a sound homeopath who has over 50years of practical experience.

my son wants to know who if anybody invented french language?

Too right. It's classified as a Latin language which means that for the most part it evolved from the Latin spoken in that particular area of the Roman Empire by the Romans. So unfortunately we can't come up with one particular person who invented it as such - normally languages just evolve, nobody invents them. If it has to be a person it's a mixture of the Romans and the pre-Roman peoples of what is now France.

no its too fake- if you got a smack in the face of a metal chair do you really think there would be no blood? If your into that kinda stuff try watching ufc...if you cant find any of it e-mail me and I'll put some on my site for you to download http://nighteye.serveftp.com


is 8.00 dollars for 16 ozs of beer to much to pay at st Louis ballpark when the brewery is 4 blocks away?

No.  I live in Canada (Toronto) and a 16oz beer is $9.00CAD (converts to about $8.00USD.\n\nFurthermore in Toronto, at the Toronto Maple Leafs (of the NHL) game, a 20oz beer is $12.75 (about $11.50USD)\n\nTo make matters worse, at the Maple Leafs game (in the Air Canada Centre) they have their own microbrewery.


If your motherboard supports this feature, when the PC tries to boot and finds the BIOS code corrupted, the boot block will try to recover the BIOS code, usually by reading it from a specially-prepared floppy disk. You may have to change a jumper on the motherboard to enable this capability, and you may need to make use of a "plain vanilla" ISA video card. The boot block will load the BIOS code and then when you next reboot, the regular BIOS code should be in place and the problem resolved.\n\nYou will need to follow the special recovery procedure outlined by your motherboard manufacturer if you want to take advantage of this feature.
