What is the best way for neighbors to fight a rezoning application at city hall?

You have your work cut out for you and the results may not warrant the time and energy invested, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.\n\nThe key to your situation is money and influence. The other guys have both and you have neither.\n\nOn the "influence" issue:\n\n1) The politicians who run the show where you live have to run for reelection at some point. If you and others are willing to go door to door and get petitions signed by enough voters (emphasis on "registered" voters) you may raise a few eyebrows. \n\n2) You form a committee and the committee decides what the petition should say. If you can't get enough people to join a committee, that will tell you the level of non support and lack of interest there is in the community. The bottom line is sacrifice - less time in front of the TV - more time networking on the phone and computer.\n\n3) Make a connection with the local news media and get your story in print - politicians hate publicity, at least the unfavorable type. Keep that connection going, with routine updates through the local news media. If you quit, they'll quit.\n\n4) Hold and announce public meetings on the topic - ask for off hours use of public or private buildings with enough room for participants. Tip - the bigger the space, the greater the likelihood of a bad outcome. Why - large spaces create an image problem as far as filling a room is concerned. Better to have standing room only in a small space than empty seats in a large space. Do a head count prior to a meeting and then reduce that number by a fudge factor. Rule of thumb: committment of the mouth (lip service) is a lot easier than committment of action (getting one's butt off the sofa).\n\n5) Assign some task to each potential attendee, even if trivial, to ensure participation at meetings. That makes it harder for potential no shows.\n\n6) Find out who the "spies" are. Someone near you is "in bed" with the other guys but won't be waving a flag announcing it. Count on them to feed your every move to the opposition.\n\n7) Get somebody with a real set of brains and preferably experience on your team. Be careful about appointing executives who travel frequently - poor attendance and part time engagement is analogous to an absentee general during war.\n\n8) Find out if environmental issues are involved. State and local officials may have already been "bought off" by the developer. See if you can get the Feds involved if that appears to be the case.\n\nOn the "money" issue:\n\n1) Your local officials and politicians are supported by local business owners, especially during reelection campaigns.\n\n2) Local businees owners need your dollars to stay in business. If you withhold those dollars, they feel pain. They make it possible for your local politicians to screw you (sorry for the language) but that accurately describes the process. Rosa Parks, a poor black lady with minimal influence in her community, forced a bus company in Alabama to roll over - you can do it too.\n\n3) If you successfully organize a boycot of certain local businesses (pick one or two businesses who are in bed with the enemy) and put the hurt on them, guess whose phones will ring next. That's right - city hall. Don't attempt to boycott everyone - be picky and focus the pain.\n\nOn other issues:\n\n1) Let the politicians who are hurting you know where you stand and that you and many others have something they will eventually need - votes.\n\n2) Consider running for office yourself and see if there are others who are like minded willing to do that.\n\nBottom line: carrot and stick\n\nCarrot is support during reelection campaign, stick is the business boycott.\n\nYou may already be too late - money may have already changed hands from the developer with more on the way, but worth a shot. You can at least work to punish those who are hurting you.

what is the NACA number of the wing of the CONCORDE aircraft?

I don't believe the Concorde wing fit any of the NACA numbers.  The French developed the wing, and NACA, now NASA, is American.  Surely there was collaboration at some level, but the design is French.

What kinds of things can you do for shin splints?

Shin splints, is a condition where there is pain in the anterior tibia caused by overuse of the anterior tibilias muscle. They are most common in inexperienced runners or runners who overtrain. The pain is usually worsened by exertion and other factors:\n\n- Running on hard surfaces\n- Insufficient padding in the shoes \n- Over-pronated and/or flat feet can also lead to increased stress on the lower leg muscles during exercise\n- High arched feet can experience shin splint discomfort because this foot type is a poor shock absorber.\n\nThe treatment for shin splints is rest. Running and other strenuous lower limb activities should be avoided until the pain subsides and is no longer elicited by activity. In conjunction with rest, icing and anti-inflammatories may be suggested by a doctor or trainer, though there is some controversy over their effectiveness. A contributing cause of shin splints in some cases is the relative weakness of the muscles on the anterior of the lower leg compared to those in the calf. In this case exercises that preferentially strengthen the anterior muscles may help alleviate or avoid shin splints.\n\nIf you are just starting to run.

The ST segment refers to a portion of the electrocardiogram (ECG)waveform.\n\nThis portion basically represents electrical waves coming from your heart as heart cells recharge themselves in between heart beats.\nDoctors look at this portion to access the health of the cardiiac muscle. Essentially they look for either ST segment elevation or ST segment depression.\n\nST elevation: implies an ongoing acute myocardial infarct (fancy lingo for heart attack where heart cells are dying)\nST depression: implies ongoing ischaemia (fancy lingo for saying too little blood going to the heart without cells actually dying)\n\nThe ECG composes of many other components other that the ST segment and all these add to the final picture and a fuller interpretation of the health of a patient's heart.

Are you implying that poor people necessarily have guns or drugs in their houses? Are you implying that poor people are the source of crime?\n\nHonestly, not to be rude but I think that is an odd complication for getting a rent-free apartment. You are pretty much stereotyping poor people. Sure they should get a job and maybe it's not fair that most of us have to work hard for what we have. But if they are physically and mentally able (and they should be thoroughly tested to prove such status) why not put a limit on how long or how much money or housing they get? By the way, even if they aren't paying for it, it's still the place they call home, and thus such a thing would be an invasion of privacy. You would be breaking their constitutional right.

i have been swimming 4 10 years & i want 2 quit 2 do somethin else but my parents won't let me HELLLPP!!!?

Lol....parents...lol...I'm one too. And sometimes we're the hardheadest creatures there are.\n\n You have my sympathy Honey. I don't normally agree with alot of these people but on this I guess, I do. I'm not saying to do it the way some are saying though. \n\nracingcowboy, is right they've probably spent alot of money and sacrificed alot of their time and etc. to let you do this which, in the beginning you probably begged for. And he's right you need to set down and tell them 10 years ago it was what you wanted, but now you'd like to try new things, and you hope they love you enough to want you to be happy, and this doesn't make you happy anymore. Tell them if 10 years ago they said they liked chocolate ice cream and that's all they'd ate since then,(Ask them).. do you think you'd be ready to try something else.????? (Tell them) "I love you both and don't want to disappoint you, but it disappoints me that you won't let me try to experience anything else but swimming in this life.!" \n\nLike computergeek said, act sad, don't be talkative but answer politely if they speak to you. They'll see it's depressing you and they'll give in. It might just take a couple of weeks.\n         Good Luck*

How do I get demographic information on cities in the U.S.A.?

These statistics are based on the 2000 census:\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/


Earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, landslides, floods etc. are natural events not disasters.\n\nDisaster is the situation which the natural event interrupts the social and economic life and assistance from out of the affected area is needed to supply the basic human needs.\n\nEvery natural event is not ended with a disaster.Disaster is not only related to the force of the natural event but also the vulnerability of the affected area to that natural event. Men have no control on natural events but have control to prevent it to be resulted as a disaster.

What is an archangel? What are its duties? Who is an archangel?

The word angel means messenger and describes the occupation of the angels. Archangels are head angels. According to St. Gregory the Great, there are 9 orders of angels, which St. Thomas, in his Summa Theologia, divides into 3 groups: in the first, Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones; in the second, the Dominations, Virtues, and Powers; in the third, the Principalities, Archangels, and Angels. The apocryphal 1Enoch 20 lists the archangels as Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel, and Remiel.\n\n~ Archangels ~\nThe archangels are only the order in the generally accepted hierarchy of angels but St. Paul refers to Michael as an archangel and Michael, according to the Book of Daniel, is one of the chief princes' and the one responsible for the nation of Israel which makes him at least of the higher order of principalities. Other named archangels are also assigned to rule in higher orders: Gabriel among the seraphim, Raphael among the ophanim, while all these three are sometimes named as the ruling princes of the virtues. The seven angels which tile Book of Revelation describes standing before God are also usually interpreted as archangels. Enoch names seven archangels: Uriel, who rules the world and Tartarus; Raguel, who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries; Michael, who is set over the most part of mankind and over chaos; Saraquael, who is set over the spirits; Gabriel, ruler of paradise, the serpents and the cherubim; Ramiel, whom God set over those who rise; and Raphael, who rules the spirits of men. He places only four around God's throne, backed up by their followers: Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and one named Phanuel (probably synonymous with Ramiel) who is responsible for overseeing the repentance of sinners. Where lists of seven are given the most frequent other names are Uriel, Metatron, Sariel (which could be a variant of Saraquael), Anael and Raziel. Later lists of archangels vary the names, many probably being alternative names for the same angels, and one post-Talmudic source increases the number to twelve, linking them with the signs of the zodiac, while kabbalists name, with Metatron named first and then repeated as a tenth. The Qur'an mentions four archangels, naming only Jibraiil (Gabriel) and Mika'il (Michael) - the other two being Azrael, another form of Raphael, Angel of Death, and Israfel, Angel of Music who plays the flute at the end of the day and will sound the trumpet that wakes the dead on the Day of Judgment. These angels were not created at the same time. Israfel was first, Mika'il was created 5000 years later, Jibra'il after another 500 years and and perhaps Azrael later still. Attempts have often been made to link biblical references to angelic visitations of particular archangels but authorities often disagree: Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Ramiel have all been credited with defeating the 185,000-strong Assyrian army of Sennacherib in 701 B.C. The syllable 'el' or 'it' at the end of angel and of so many angel names means bright', 'shining' or 'shining being'  ~


Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that has, since 1992, provided file and print services to all manner of SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public License.\n\nWhat is Samba?\nAs the front page at samba.org says, "Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients." Samba is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.\n\n\nSamba is software that can be run on a platform other than Microsoft Windows, for example, UNIX, Linux, IBM System 390, OpenVMS, and other operating systems. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host server. When correctly configured, it allows that host to interact with a Microsoft Windows client or server as if it is a Windows file and print server.\nFrom The Official Samba HOWTO:\n\nThe goal behind the project is one of removing barriers to interoperability.\nSamba is a software package that gives network administrators flexibility and freedom in terms of setup, configuration, and choice of systems and equipment. Because of all that it offers, Samba has grown in popularity, and continues to do so, every year since its release in 1992.\n\nFor more details on Samba or SMB, see: samba.org\n\nIntro to Samba \nSMB/CIFS Links

for any mathematicians that might be here; what companies actually employ mathematicians?

There are a lot of people who have mathematics degrees that don't have the job title "mathematician". They work as programmers, systems analysts, etc.\n\nOne job that does have "mathematician" in it is "actuarial mathematician". They are the people who figure out what your car insurance rates should be based on the likelihood of your being in an accident.\n\nThere are also cryptomathematician employed to break codes and cyphers.  The Department of Defense employs a few of those.

Is there any disease that makes your hands itchy and bumpy?

Sounds like an allergic reaction (soaps, perfume, plants, chemicals, etc) or an autoimmune disorder (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, etc).  Could also be poor circulation from the cold temperatures.\nIf you suspect allergies, avoid harsh chemicals, work in the garden with gloves on, don't use any new soaps, fabric softeners, perfume right now.  You can try a hydrocortisone cream.\nIf that doesn't work, or you suspect autoimmune disorder, (does it run in your family), see a DR.


what are social trends of  35-50 year old people in the united states?

I would assume it would be alittle more conservative.\nchildren- three or so. \nIncome-enough to support a family,male should earn more than the female.\neducation-males and females both dhould go to college.\nHome-woman should be at home\nfree time- in front of the tube.\nmarital status- interesting. i would belive that they value a marriage sticking together more than anything and divorce is frowned on. IF you reach a certain age and arnt married, there are social consequences, esp.for the woman.


How to predict the market demand of electric motors after 3 months?

That is a hard question.  You need to know to total number of cranes (motors) used for example 1 year ago and the number being used now.  You can draw the graph on paper to get a very rough idea of whether it's increasing or decreasing.   The more data you can get, the better the graph (for example the number sold every month for the past 3 years).  If you continue the line it will give you an idea of what might happen in the next 3 months.  \n\nThis can get very, very complex, but if you can also make a good estimate as to the numbers that are being sold and that COULD be sold if they were available, they you will have an even better idea of market demand/potential.  This number could be based on the number of cranes that are backordered.  \nThis just scratches a very big subject.  Good luck on your research.


i received an email on a lottery winning from the u.k. can that be so?

Delete all foreign lottery emails and throw away foreign lottery faxes and letters cause they are ALL scams.  +\n\n\nPlease be EXTREMELY WARY of offers by distant strangers to send you a high value (but counterfeit) cashier's check/USPS Money order, and then have you wire the balance to them.  Banks will cash these counterfeit checks/USPS Money orders, but then hold you responsible for the funds when the check fails to clear!

How do you make a volcano for a school project (4th grade)?

Well, the way I always did it was to build your model volcano out of usually brown playdoh.  One of the better methods is to take a discarded paper towel cardboard center and glue it to some sort of paper (best more cardboard) then build your volcano around it making sure to keep the hole in th center open.  Pour baking soda into it...take it to school and at the precise moment pour vinegar into the baking soda...I think some people put food coloring into it (bright orange)


No, actually, it's good for you. Also, when my neighbor went into the ER with chest pains, they gave her 4 childrens chewable aspirins right away. Aspirin thins your blood, and helps to keep you from having a heart attack. Just use caution, because some people are allergic to aspirin. If you aren't allergic, then it's a good thing. \n\nAlso, when I broke my ankle and was in a cast, my doctor insisted that I take an aspirin every day to keep from getting blood clots where the cast was. Aspirin is good for many things...not just for headaches anymore!


Why weren't Nukes used in the Vietnam war?

Ike was thinking about using them. There were plans drawn up to use special weapons.(plans are always made for these things and file away in case they are needed. Supposedly there were nukes in country, but there WERE nukes with the fleet,Navy never leaves home without them. A nuke army officer begged to go on patrol to see what it was like in the bush,(he wasnt suppose to go) and his unit was ambushed, the theory was the North Vietnamese wanted to capture him, to use as propaganda and to get nuke secrets.he just escaped capture and got into lots of hot water. You can dig all these facts out of the net if you hunt for them.

i have like a line of redness around my vagina. i am scared that it may be herpes, but i have never had sex.?

Sweetie, if you haven't had sex, it's not going to be herpes. You could be allergic to the detergent your underwear is washed in, a new soap that you might be using or it could a yeast infection. I would take some benedryl and make an appointment with the doctor. Those blisters can become infected if you're not careful. I suspect an allergy of some sort but I'm not a doctor. If you're under 18, you may need your mom's consent to see the doctor but if you've done nothing in the sex department then you've nothing to worry about. Ask your mom about how much benedryl to take or make sure you read the directions. Good luck, Honey. Tina


Anyone else think that the Steeler's first touchdown last night was total crap?

All that is required to score a touchdown is for the football to break the imaginary plane at the front edge fo the white line that is the goal line.  Although the quarterback's arm obscured the balled somewhat, the replay made it look like the ball DID "break the plane".  The referees on the field were much closer and had a better view, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.\n\nOn the other hand, I thought the "pushing off" penalty that negated a Seattle touchdown in the first quarter was bogus.  I don't know if that would have shifted momentum to Seattle or not.


Just out of curiousity, how many of you here plan to vote in the 2008 general elections?


You're a step ahead of most people.  By now, you have a good grasp of what you're spending money on.  Take a good hard look at how you're spending your money.  Some expenses are "fixed" - meaning they don't vary each month.  Some expenses are essential (food, gas, housing, etc), while others are not (morning latte, manicure, movie tickets, etc).  Take a look at where you can cut back on those "wants" rather than "needs" and you'll find that saving money is not that difficult.\n\nNow set some goals for how much you'd like to save.  Start each month by paying yourself, so to speak, and put money in your savings account in order to build a nest-egg.  Some people find that having money automatically withdrawn from their paycheck is the easiest way to "force" them to save.  \n\nYou may want to check out this cool calculator that can help you manage your budget:  http://www.fuzeqna.com/smcu/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=1929\n\nYou might want to use a software program such as Quicken to help manage your finances and goals.  But the system isn't as important as the action.  You're on your way!


why different religions can not find out that a religion is a way to god not away to war with each other?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

I agree with Climecita. The crab also has wonderful medical implications as well.

They actually have farms where they harvest the blood of these creatures. Oh and for one more note their blood is mixed into the bags that hold our blood when we dontate, or get a transfusion.


what is the salary for a patrician nurse?

I am not exactly sure what a patrician nurse is, but the US Government's estimations for nursing salaries is below:\n\n\nMedian annual earnings of registered nurses were $52,330 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $43,370 and $63,360. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $37,300, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $74,760.\n\nMedian annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of registered nurses in May 2004 were as follows:\n\nEmployment services: $63,170 \nGeneral medical and surgical hospitals: 53,450 \nHome health care services: 48,990 \nOffices of physicians: 48,250 \nNursing care facilities: 48,220 \n\nMany employers offer flexible work schedules, child care, educational benefits, and bonuses.

Will I still receive my social security benefits? when I stay overseas more than one month as a U.S. permanent

Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, permits payment of Social Security benefits to noncitizens living in the United States (U.S.) only if they are lawfully present in this country. The law requires that anyone living in the U.S. who applies for Social Security benefits on or after December 1, 1996, must provide evidence that he or she is a U.S. citizen or U.S. national, or an alien lawfully present in the U.S. as determined by the Attorney General.\n\nThis law does not affect:\n\n    * Social Security benefits for people residing outside the U.S.;\n    * Social Security benefits for people who applied before December 1, 1996; or\n    * Entitlement to the lump sum death payment.\n\nFor more information, you may call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213. Our representatives there will be glad to help you.\n\nIf you live outside the U.S., see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foreign/ for information on services in other countries. If you reside in the United States you can apply for benefits online at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/applyforbenefits. You can find more information about whether you can receive benefits abroad as a non-U.S. citizen in the booklet, Your Payments While You Are Outside the United States (SSA Publication No. 05-10137) at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10137.html.


How can I get over my social anxiety without drugs?

Medication helps tremendously.\n\nBut if you don't want to use medication, remember that anxiety is a state of mind -- it's all in your head. If you realize that most people get nervous in social situations, and that probably nobody can even tell you're nervous, your anxiety will melt away.

If you mean the word "beta" after Yahoo! Answers,\nthen Beta in computer coding typically refers to a test of software prior to its release.  'Alpha' code is usually considered a very rough cut of a program and is not usually distributed to end users.  'Beta' software, or in this case a beta site, is intended to test full functionality and work out any unseen bugs by allowing a group of people to put the software through its paces.

I was having congestion problems really bad, runny nose, weak, hard to breathe, and it was the week before Christmas.  I knew if I waited to see if I would get better I would be in trouble, because most of the family doctors would be on vacation.  Ha, they all were anyway.  And I ended up at an emergency clinic.\n\nI didn't know it, but I had pneumonia.  I'm asthmatic, anyway, and know how to breathe when my lungs tighten.  So I was reading, waiting for my turn, and suddenly I realized I couldn't breathe at all.  Not an asthmatic attack, just no air coming in.\n\nI walked up to the receptionist.  I told her I couldn't breathe, passed out, and on the way down I heard some jerk on the list before me with a twisted ankle belly aching, "What some people won't try to get ahead of someone else."\n\nThe receptionist just stood there, a nurse came out to see what caused the commotion, ran and came back with a doctor.  He straightened me on the floor and the nurse came back with an oxygen tube.  The receptionist was still standing there, holding her PEOPLE magazine, and the doctor screamed at her to call an ambulance, they didn't have the equipment to save me.  And she stood there.  He told her again to call an ambulance, and she walked away toward the phone, no urgency at all, and it was then, when I was angry with her, that I realized I was watching all this from outside my body.  I was standing at my own head watching the doctor trying to resuscitate me and the nurse was very urgent, and starting to cry.\n\nThen I was sucked into this blue light.  I couldn't see anything anymore, but I could hear voices.  Someone I understood to be my guardian said I was in holding, that I could either go with him, or go back.  I figured I was already dead, anyway, and thought I would just go, but he asked me what would happen to my dog if I went.\n\nI didn't live with my parents, I rented a house.  But even though Trinket was in my will and I had a guardian for her, my parents had told me if anything happened to me, she was going to the pound, that they wouldn't even take her to a humane society.  I had rescued Trinket from a shelter's death row, she was a senior canine, and the thought of her going in the animal control truck to be killed, and her knowing where she was going when she was within earshot of the pound was enough to bring me back into my body.\n\nI still couldn't breathe, but now I fought for the oxygen, and I finally managed a sip from the tube.  I was seeing the doctor from my own eyes again.\n\nHe later told me I was his Christmas miracle, that my skin had turned bluer than my eyes, that if my heart hadn't been strong, I would have died.


how to i stop weight loss brought about by hyperthyroidism?

once your thyroid hormons are back to their normal levels u'll gain the weight you lost. Most of the time treatment for hyperthytoidism leaves you in hypothyroidism, so u'll eventually gain more weight that u even lost! but dont worry, once ur TSH is in normal levels u'll be ok

is it  a sin to marry a student by a teacher?

No. If the marriage is legal - and both parties enter into the marriage willingly and are of marriageable age, the occupations of the two people are irrelevant. It may very well be immoral for a teacher and student to form a romantic relationship during the time the teaching/learning/grading is going on. This is against school policy everywhere I've heard of. I don't think the Judeo-Christian religious texts refer to it as a sin.


what does the name JULIAN means in KABALA?

The name Julian comes from Flavius Claudius Julianus, the Emperor of Rome (361-363) who attempted to restore the official dominance of paganism. It is a Latin name and has no ties to the Hebrew language, and has no Hebraic equivalants. Thus, it has no Getmatria value, and has no meaning in Kabbala. Sorry.


The moon causes the tides.  When it is overhead and when it is underneath.  The Sun also causes tides, but it is a smaller effect.  When the Sun and Moon line up, the tides are stronger, and when they are on opposite sides of the earth the tides tend to cancel out and are smaller.\n\nTides also depend a lot on the shape of the ocean floor near the shore (is it shalow or deep, etc.)

You might want to ask them if they are interested in a lease option. If they say no then you are likely out of luck for now. If they say yes then they are willing to sell it after a while.\n\nThey most likely want income for quite a while, and they might just not want to sell to someone that they suppose would not be able to buy. \n\nThe best bet is to keep renting it and keep asking. In a few years their whole motivation may have changed. If they know you want to buy it you will be the first they go to to avoid the commission. You need to keep reminding them in a nice way, don't beg and plead, just tell them if they ever change their mind and you haven't found something better you would be interested. You will likely have to pay a bit of a premium to convince them which might not be the best idea.\n\nConsider being an expert on the area you want to live and watch for properties that are being sold by other investors. If you see a house being sold to someone that looks like they want to flip it, or at a minimum lease option it, talk with them right after they buy it and tell them of your interest. You might be able to get a house nearby that you like for a better deal. And if you get to them first they might even paint it your favorite colors.


How do you make a high pass square wave filter?

What is Psychois? Pronounced si-ko-sis I heard that somewhere. Is that even a word? Can someone explain this??

it's psychosis and Psychosis is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state in which thought and perception are severely impaired. Persons experiencing a psychotic episode may experience hallucinations, hold delusional beliefs (e.g., paranoid delusions), demonstrate personality changes and exhibit disorganized thinking (see thought disorder). This is often accompanied by lack of insight into the unusual or bizarre nature of such behavior, difficulties with social interaction and impairments in carrying out the activities of daily living. A psychotic episode is often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality".  ALL signs of Alzheimer’s.


When I get foot cramps I extend my leg straight out in front of me (while sitting) and curl my toes back up toward me as far as I can.  This alleviates the pain.  If you hold it for about half a minute you should be fine.\n\nThis has to do with the way your nerve endings work, there is a spot on the bottom of your foot that can be massaged to remove the pain, by stretching your foot in this way it does it the same thing without a masseuse :-)

what came first, the chicken or the egg, explain?

Chicken (Gallus domesticus) didn't exist until its domestication around 2000 BC in Indochina. The first chicken came from the first chicken egg, which was laid by a red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Whether you argue creation or evolution, the fact that humanity predates and is responsible for the speciation of chickens from red junglefowl should lay the "chicken or the egg" question to rest. \n\nFrom an evolutionary perspective, this answer holds for all species: the first member(s) of any species were the offspring of another very similar species, i.e. evolution argues that the egg always comes first. \n\nFrom a creationist perspective, this answer is anomalous, since all species that predate humanity originated as adults around 4004 BCE, i.e. creationism argues that the red junglefowl came before the red junglefowl egg.\n\nHowever, here is also an intersting analysis: Scientists think the first domestic chickens were bred from Red Jungle Fowls more than 8,000 years ago in the region now divided into Thailand and Vietnam. People bred chickens first for cockfighting contests, later for eggs and meat.\n\nSo the first official "chicken" pecked its way out of an egg laid by a bird that was not-quite-a-chicken. Depending on how you look at it, the egg--or the wild chicken--came first.\n\nIn creating the domestic chicken--and coming up with some 175 varieties--human beings also created a world where chickens rule the roost: There are more chickens than any other kind of domesticated bird on Earth.\n\nAnd where did birds come from? Scientists think that a group of egg-laying feathered dinosaurs were probably the ancestors of today's birds. So if it weren't for dinosaurs, there wouldn't be any Jungle Fowl OR chickens.\n\nWe've solved the riddle of where chickens came from. But there's still the question of where eggs came from.\n\nScientists say eggs--handy miniature incubators of life, nutrients already packed inside--evolved more than 1 billion years ago, in the oceans of Earth. When land animals evolved about 250 million years ago, their eggs had a tough covering to retain moisture on dry land. Egg-layers like amphibians, reptiles, and insects flourished. The first "land eggs" pre-dated chickens by about 249,992,000 years.\n\nSo "the egg" may be one answer to the old riddle, but here's another, if a little longer: The chicken came after the bird, the bird came after the dinosaur, the dinosaur came after the egg. And the egg came long after the first single-celled bacteria, the prokaryotes, evolved in the oceans, some 3.5 billion years ago. Ha!

what will happen if lead (II) is mixed in a tap water?

Then you can kill a whole city for that. Don't mess up with lead. Lead is known to cause some neurological disorders and is one of the suspects for the fall of the Roman Empire. I am not really sure where I read it but lead has a sweet taste. I don't know where this question on lead leads to or what you really want to know with your question. If you use highly chlorinated tap water, chances are a precipitate of lead chloride can form if you look carefully.


Mostly cost. Making perfect lens gets more and more expensive as the lenses (3 in a good refractor) get bigger.\n80mmm = $1000 160mm = $10,000 200mm = 50,000. The really big ones, like 30 inches, also have such long tubes, it gets very expensive to build a mount for them.\n\nreflectors have only mirrors, no lenses.  much easier and cheaper to make. Since light does not go "thru" the mirror, you don't have to have perfect, expensive glass. And all colors (red, blue, green) come to focus at the same point. Not true with lenses.\n\nHawaii is not only above the clouds and the polution, it is also above the weather, so the air from the top of the mountains out to space is much calmer. From sea level, the air "boils" with all the wind layers, and distorts the image seen throught telescopes.

Jerry Garcia formed another band outside of The Gteatful Dead they made 1 album named after band what is it?

-In addition to the Grateful Dead (who frequently toured for long periods), Garcia had numerous side projects, the most notable being the Jerry Garcia Band. He was also involved with various acoustic projects such as Old and in the Way and other bluegrass bands, including collaborations with noted bluegrass mandolinist David Grisman (the documentary film "Grateful Dawg" chronicles the deep, long-term friendship between Garcia and Grisman). Other groups of which Garcia was a member at one time or another include the Black Mountain Boys [1], Legion of Mary [2], Reconstruction, and the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. Jerry Garcia was also an appreciative fan of jazz artists and improvisation: he played with jazz keyboardists Merl Saunders and Howard Wales for many years in various groups and jam sessions, and he appeared on saxophonist Ornette Coleman's 1988 album, Virgin Beauty.\n\nHaving studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute, Garcia made a second career out of painting. A series of neckties based on those paintings has been quite lucrative. The popularity of the ties might be attributed to their wild patterns and bright colors. Even in 2005, ten years after Garcia's death, new styles and designs continue to be sold at high-end men's stores and department stores.


Is it safe to use PET bottles for storing drinking water.what does triangle & number on its bottom signifies?

The symbols on the bottom indicate the type of plastic. This information is (theoretically) used for recycling purposes. Not all plastics can be dumped togeter for recycling.\n\nIf the bottle hasn't been used there shouldn't be a problem. I would not recommend a used bottle unless it has been boiled, and personally wouldn't use it even then.

assuming the fart represents the plane pressure disturbance as described by Isaac Newton in Proposition 49 of Book Two of the Principia, and it decelerates before reaching the point of emmision and accelerates after the pulse pressure leaves the medium....it is therefore theoretically possible for the olfactory system to be foremost involved before hearing the outburst(F1-F2=P0V0 (V0-V1).

Why is an out of work woman having such a hard time getting probono help to keep her child from a sex offender

What was his offense? It's pretty easy these days to become a "Registered Sex Offender"...

Weeds are plants that are not native to an area. Usually the plant will have gotten from one part of the world to another by humans who wanted cool garden flowers or scientists who wanted to do test and so on. Weeds spread around by way of birds, bats and other creatures eating fruits of a plant as food and then poop out the seeds when they are flying around. Seeds are too tough to be digested and the poop acts as a little packet of fertilizer. And presto, your lawn is covered.


Fortune Tellers? What have they told you that came true?

My daughter was only five at the time and this woman had never seen her. All her predictions were true.

Why SHOULD Evolution be taught in school?

I believe the current argument is regarding teaching Evolution (or creationism/ID) in Science Class, not in school. The reason to teach Evolution in Science Class would be that it's a scientifically based theory with testable and measurable components. Creationism/ID has no basis in Science and is simply an attempt to insert Religion into Science by force.\n\nAttempts have been made by various religious groups to disguise Creationism as Science, with poor results (see Dover PA Board of Education).

My job has been cut to 3 days/week and i have an offer full time in hawaii.  I need to get out of house lease?

I asked this question myself when I hired a Property Management Co. to rent out a house of mine. I thought a lease would be best for me when renting my home out. I ended up renting month to month because the management Co. explained that although you have a signed lease the owner has to show do diligence in leasing/renting out the property if the tenant leaves early. They had said a judge would look for the owner to perform before any judgement againt the tenant for failure to meet conditions of lease.\n      I would recommned you discuss with whomever you signed the lease with (if you haven't) and see if you can end the terms amicably. Also, consult with a real estate attorney so you can be well versed in your rights if you can not solve this matter to the satisfaction of both parties.

I have a lease purchase house and the potential buyers can't seem to pay on time.?

Actually, I think there are a few points to this question. First, what did YOU do to prequalify them to purchase the house in the first place?  Many LO landlords really don't care if the renter ever buys, they keep the LO money and either let the tennants go month to month, or let them move on.  So, assuming you want to sell the house, do a better job upfront of finding tennant buyers.  Pre qualify them.  1. Do they have all of the option consideration money upfront, with no payments (this means they have a lump sum or were able to save the money).  2. Does their current employment make it so they are able to make the payments on the house comfortably.  You can look at their income, and their outgo, and compare it like a lender does (that is what I do).  THey should not spend over 41% of their monthly income for, all items on the credit report, monthly payments, the principle and interest and taxes and insurance on the house. IF it is obvious they will be short...you probably want to look for the next buyer. But finally, if they will be renters until they exercise their option contract, do a smart upfront check on them as renters. First, do a criminal check on them, if they pass that, then look into the other items such as credit and references. If you find someone you like, then go to their neighborhood, drive it, and then call and ask if you can stop in.  If they are happy to let you come see them in their current home, you will get a feel for  how well they are going to take care of your property.  Due Diligence is important. Im not a lawyer, and if any of this info is wrong, it is simply my opinion.

Why is it women say they want a good,honest,and good looking man,but yet they always go for the bad guys.?

dude, i can relate. maybe we've known each other from childhood. i am also a ladies' man (not the playboy kind but the gentleman kind) and i've seen and been with women with mates who treat them like dirt. and somehow, i've managed to make some of them to wake up and break up (ooh, a rhyme!!!)\n\nsee, what i do is, i protect the girl in any means possible, be there for her when she need a shoulder to cry on, and probably (but never did) kick the guys sorry a**!!! women are fascinating people that should never be taken advantage of, so that's why i try my best to be the gentleman they want. consistent persuasion might work, and don't let the girl look at herself as a doormat. she should learn to get respect from her partner, coz deep down, we know we only want their happiness...\n\n=P ~^_^~

I quit cigs. on sunday, how do I stop the weight gain????? how long is the worst part?

chromium picolinate.. naturally boost metabolism..it's in One a day weight smart.. or you can buy it seperately. I quit 5 months ago after smoking for 10 years. I read ALOT of books to keep my mind off of it. It was hard.. But now every time i smell it i want to vomit and i actually turn to my fiance almost every time and say 'Gosh I am SO glad i don't smoke anymore!!" Eat alot of whole grains and take chromium.. look at labels.. watch your fat and sugar intake. More than 30 grams of fat a day is too much if you are trying to lose weight or keep it off. MY biggest problem was turning from the cigs to CHOCOLATE and other sweets. It is proven that chocolate is just as addicting as heroin!! SO TRY not to sub the cigs with other bad addictions..lol. As for how long the first part was i'd say it was the first month that was the worst for me. The physical withdrawl part anyway. After that it's all in your head. GOOD LUCK!!


why do we sweat under our palms and feet?

Normally, your body works best when it's about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). When your body gets hotter than that, your brain doesn't like it - it wants your body to stay cool and comfortable. And sweat glands are well-developed there @ our palms and feet.

which site have downloadable aptituted test questions?

It's pretty hard to find any sort of tests for free which is what I am assuming you want. If you are willing to pay then there are loads just search on yahoo.com. Whatever you do don't use google like the guy above suggests because google are evil and are trying to take over the world with their never ending quest for knowledge. By using google you are giving them all of your personal details, even what colour underwear you are wearing right now!


Indian PM's stand in Iran issue..Right or wrong?  Why?

US has bought India's loyalty long ago when it allowed the country to build its nuclear arsenal.\n\nSo, India's going to betray a long-term economic and political ally (Iran). \n\nFrom this point of view various people can debate, loyalty vs opportunism. \nOn the other hand, India's position suggests lack of intelligence since it has taken such a position without having received any evidence that Iran is conducting a military nuclear programme (not to mention that even if it's the case, then Iran's nukes would support India).

Why do people think the race of Jesus don't matter?

Jesus looks NOTHING like what they picture Him as.  He'd NEVER have long hair or pale skin (He lived inthe desert and it was "against His religion" for men to have long hair).  He looked like an average Jew.\nSee, at one point in time I thought about Jesus being black (which is why Africa is being treated to the way it is today because anyone affiliated w/ Jesus will go through hard times), but it really doesn't line up.  Even though REvalations talks about him having hair like wool and feet of bronze, Jesus is a Jew.  In the OT God didn't want His people marrying the Egyptians (or others in that same area) because of their religious views, not race.  It doesn't matter because it doesn't affect/effect what He did for us.  He died for us and that's all that matters.  He probably looked like a typical Jew.  "The Bible never gives any physical description of Christ. The closest thing we get to a description is in Isaiah 53:2b, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.” All this tells us is that Jesus’ appearance was just like any other man – He was ordinary looking. Most of the images we have of Jesus are probably very inaccurate. Jesus was a Jew, so He likely had very tan skin, dark eyes, and dark hair. This is a far cry from the blond-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned Jesus in most modern pictures."

If I have $10,000 to invest in a CD or Savings bond, is it better to invest using one $10,000 or 10 $1000?

Usually you will get a higher interest rate with the larger CD, however unforseen circumstances could cost you alot more. If it were me I would invest it in one $5,000 CD and two $2,000 CD's and one $1,000 CD. This will allow you a better return while also allowing you the chance to withdraw early with minimal damage should you find yourself in a situation where you need the money. (If you need a K note then cash a K note, 2K then cash a 2K ect....)

Do people ever hurt your feelings by being mean? How often and how do you handle it?

It doesn't bother me. If they are saying nasty things, and they can't even back it up, it's because they are jealous of you. You have things they don't. Maturity, intelligence, amongst others. Don't let it hurt you, they'll only do it more. You are better than them and can rise above them.


similar rectangles means length/width (or vice versa) ratio is equal.\n\nfootball length/width = 360/160 = 2.25\nsoccer width is at least 195, so to have a ratio of 2.25, length must be at least 2.25*195 = 438.75 which is more than the max. allowable length of 360.\n\nAnswer is NO.

A candle flame reaches 205 degrees centgrade.\n\nThe cutting torch you referred to is an oxyacetylene torch that burns ethyne (acetylene) in pure oxygen, producing a high-temperature flame (3,000°C/5,400°F). It is widely used in welding to fuse metals. In the cutting torch, a jet of oxygen burns through metal already melted by the flame.\n\nThe blue part of the flame is the hottest as this has the most oxygen.

Why are fats deposited at different area for men and women?


how do I know if the man Im with, will marry me and have a lasting relationship?

There is no gaurantees in relationships, just commitment and good communication. Women tend to need a lot of reassurance. Where as men are more simple and easy going. So make sure theres a good medium ground after you communicate to him your concerns. Finally, make sure he is the man YOU want to be with not the one you may feel you should be with. If marrige is what you really want and feel seriously about, try talking to him about it in a light conversation.  He will take it from there.

I'm trying to find a profitable home base business with no or little start up fees!?

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n    * What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n    * Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n    * Who will pay me?\n    * When will I get my first paycheck?\n    * What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n    * What will I get for my money?

What is the fastest way to loose about 25 lbs and tone thighs and stomach?

the best and most healthy way to do it, it at boils down to speed up your metabolism, which translate in having a better body shape this is done by 2 ways. Plenty of exercise and food. You need to do daily exercise no matter what you like to do and good plenty of healthy food. The higher the metabolism the faster you burn fat in your body and you build toned muscle. I developed a perfect 6 pack by doing cardio 5 times a week morning cardio and weight training 3 times a week  in the evening. You CANNOT SPOT REDUCE FAT, the body burns fat from all over your body not from a selected place only, even if you do endless abs every day doesnt mean that you will burn the fat from the stomach only. If you slow your daily cals is one of the biggest mistake instead of eating less exercise more. If you eat less your metabolism get slower and it easier to storage more fat. A lot a fat ppl they dont eat enough thinking that its the way to reduce weight Big mistake.\nThe best way is to educate your self and learn how to not make the mistake that ppl usually do. I highly recommend you a website call burnthefat.com from Tom Venutto I did it and learned how to  eat what to eat and how exercise to achieve the best posible body according to your genetic. Its awesome\nbut hey its up to you.

Is it hard to find a partner in life after u are diagnosed with genital herpes?

No it isn't, at least not to find one who truly cares for you.  I speak from personal experience.  If you are honest and open, and that person truly loves/wants to be with you it won't matter. Even if it is a bit tougher if that person is worth it they will take you as is. I was very nervous about telling my current boyfriend (he was he first one after i was diagnosed with g/h) but he handled it fine. It is alot to take in at first, but we have a very happy & healthy relationship & an AMAZING sex life.  Don't let this hold you back.  It has actually made us closer that he accepted me & my condition. He is the love of my life.  I wish you the best

All of those out there that are bashing him I have only one question for you...What the F*CK have you done in your life for this country.  Your precious Clinton had all the information need to take of Bin Laden while he was in office...but he just sat on his fat ass while being "serviced".  Nice to see who people look up to in this country.  Everyone loves talking about how President Bush lies....have y'all forgotten the "I have not had sexual relations with that woman" speech?

How can I find out if a business is legitimate and not a scam?

The Better Business Bureau is a great place to check into a company's background.  You can see if people have logged complaints against the company in the past.  Use the link below to go to their website.  Unfortunately, if a company is new, it may not have been reported yet.  \n\nMy rule of thumb is the old adage that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is :)

4. What are Civil Rights and what are Civil Liberties? Discuss the role of the Bill of Rights to these concept

Civil liberties typically apply to individuals while civil rights apply to defined groups. The term civil liberties refers to protection from the arbitrary power of the state, and includes such rights as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and, debatably, the right to privacy. The two concepts are overlapping yet distinct—and thus the new inclusion of civil liberties under the rubric of civil rights rhetoric is far from trivial. Rather, it gives Democrats a pulpit from which to challenge the Bush administration on many fronts.

what is inorganic evolution? who made this theory?

• According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals combined and came to life.\n\n• However, scientists don't really know how life came to be. Even Stanley Miller, whose experiments are cited in most biology text books, says that the origin of life is still unknown. The idea that dead material can come to life all by itself is not consistent with scientific observation.\n\n• The leading mathematicians in the century met with some evolutionary biologists and confronted them with the fact that, according to mathematical statistics, the probabilities for a cell or a protein molecule coming into existence were nil. They even constructed a model on a large computer and tried to figure out the possibilities of such a cell ever happening. The result was zero possibility! - Wistar Institute\n\n• Professor Edwin Conklin observed, "The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop."\n\n• Under normal circumstances, creatures give birth to the same kind of creatures. It is established scientific fact that like begets like. On rare instances, the DNA in an embryo is damaged, resulting in a mutant child that differs in some respect from its parent. Although a few mutations have been scientifically observed that are beneficial, most mutations produce inferior offspring. For the theory of evolution to be true, there must be a fantastic number of creative mutations that produce new kinds of offspring which are better suited for survival, and therefore are favored by natural selection.\n\n• Darwinists claim that the reptile-to-mammal evolution is well documented. But for reptiles to evolve into mammals at least some of these transformations must have happened: \n• Scales had to have mutated into hair. \n• Breasts had to have evolved from nothing. \n• Externally laid eggs had to evolve into soft-shelled eggs that were nourished by an umbilical cord and placenta in a womb. \n\n• It has never been observed in any laboratory that mutations can cause one species to turn into another. Despite this, evolutionists believe that given enough time, some animals will eventually evolve into other creatures. \n\n• Evolutionists claim that although we have not actually observed these things happening, that does not mean that they are impossible. They say it simply means they are extremely improbable. Evolutionists think the world has been around long enough for all these highly improbable things to happen.\n\n• Sir Fred Hoyle, of Cambridge University stated that statistically the chances of one cell evolving was the same as a tornado passing through a junkyard and giving you a fully functional Boeing 747.\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/arguments.shtml\n\n* Scientific evidence casts serious doubts on the theory of evolution, for example:\n\n* The Fossil Record (Updated 3 July, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/fossil.htm\n\n* Living "Fossils"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/living.htm\n\n* The Cambrian Explosion\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/explosion.htm\n\n• New T.Rex Discoveries (Updated 10 June, 2005)\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/t-rex.htm\n\n* "Missing Links"\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/misslinks.htm \n\n* The Big Bang\n http://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/bigbang.htm\n\n* Anthropic Principle\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/anthropic.htm\n\n*Irreducible complexity\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/irreducible.htm\n\n* Biological Evidence\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/biology.htm\n\n* The Moon\nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/moon.htm\n\n*Earth's Fight Against Solar Attacks \nhttp://www.straight-talk.net/evolution/earthfight.htm

One of the condition that Quran allows more than wife is that you treat them equally. These verse were orginally revealed regarding orphans, when there were many in the society and polygamy was required to have these girls to get a married life.\n"If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one" Quran 4: 3. \n\nBut Quran also states in another place that it is very difficult to treat equally\n"You are never able to be fair and just as between wifes, even if it is your ardent desire: " Quran 4:129. \n\nSo there is an indirect reference to have only one wife but in rare circumstances more than one can be married. As pointed by above answers when male population in a society is less than females, polgamy may be required to have all the women lead a family life.


My fiance of two years got a girl preg. when we were split he wants to sign his rights away wil he have to pay

He cannot "sign away his rights", because he has no rights in the situation; he only has a responsibility.  Specifically, he has a responsibility to support the child he fathered.  Whether he wants to have anything to do with the child is irrelevant.  Not to put to fine a point on it, but your fiance sounds like an a**hole.
