25! Hands down. I loved it. My auto insurance dropped. No one thought of me as a child anymore. I felt grown. I wasn't 'old' yet. it is the perfect age. Just grown enough to be grown. Just young enough to be young...I have been turning 25 for the last 7 years!

Here's a hint: Men like women to show initiative with romance and eroticsm--too often in relationships it's considered the "man's job" to get things moving! This will sound corny, but give it a shot: First, if you've got kids, send them to the grandparents for the night in advance without him knowing (say on a Friday). Next, turn off all the lights in the house and place scented candles in the bedroom and run a hot bubble bath just before he normally arives home. Have some wine and two wine glasses at the ready on the coffee table, and rose petals on the floor leading a trail to the bedroom--or whereever you're most memorable encounter that you can remember occurred. Personally, I like David Sanborn or some other smooth jazz playing in the background. Music is important to setting the mood, and if you've got cable or a dish, you can tune it to the music of your choice. Just before he gets home, slip into a nice satin & lace nightie and cover it with a heavy robe. When he gets to the door, be there waiting to flash him and let him know what you've got in store for the evening. Not in a crude way, mind you. Most importantly, take your time...don't rush. The anticipation of that which is to come will be as intense as the act itself. Hope that helps!\nPeace,\nJayZ

Not to complicate things or anything but it really depends on how each persons acts within a relationship. As long as each person asks like themselves and is not trying to put on an act to ipress the other person it can be great. Seeing that each one of you accept one another for who you are. \n On the other side if you feel like you have to be soembody you are not simply to get the other person to like you then the relationship is doomed to fail, because you will eventually get tired of not being yourself. The relationship will be horrible.\n Being in a relationship can be the greatest thing ever. All you have to do is comunicate and be yourself and you will be happy

Capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels in which gas exchange occurs. In the capillary, the wall is only one cell layer thick. Capillaries are concentrated into capillary beds. Some capillaries have small pores between the cells of the capillary wall, allowing materials to flow in and out of capillaries as well as the passage of white blood cells. Nutrients, wastes, and hormones are exchanged across the thin walls of capillaries. Capillaries are microscopic in size, although blushing is one manifestation of blood flow into capillaries. Control of blood flow into capillary beds is done by nerve-controlled sphincters. \n\n\nChanges in blood pressure, velocity, and the area of the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the circulatory system. Image from Purves et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 4th Edition, by Sinauer Associates (www.sinauer.com) and WH Freeman (www.whfreeman.com), used with permission.\n\nThe circulatory system functions in the delivery of oxygen, nutrient molecules, and hormones and the removal of carbon dioxide, ammonia and other metabolic wastes. Capillaries are the points of exchange between the blood and surrounding tissues. Materials cross in and out of the capillaries by passing through or between the cells that line the capillary.

roito.. i'm no scientist, but the way i see it, since so many of our other elements have been hypothesized to be formed in a solar furnace, i'd take berilium to be no exception. it's probably just left over from the nebula that produced our solar system. However, astral bodies that collide with the earth also carry with them certain chemicals, so the source of berilium on this planet can also be attributed to some degree to those, as well. \nhere's a neat factoid for ye.. protein strains that are slammed into the earth at those fantastic speeds known to meteors, upon impact, form amino acids... if i can recall that episode of NOVA i saw on m'local PBS station correctly. ;)

Well, I just fell in love with Ruby, when I began to learn it a week ago... I've been programming for 15 years and had been seriously hoping to make my own language one of these days, because all the languages I was used to had severe limitations at every turn. I don't know how to explain all the reasons why I hate conventional languages, but let it suffice to say that Ruby lets you do virtually anything you want to do; it supports a wide variety of programming styles, and can do many things that are difficult or impossible in other languages, such as metaprogramming (the possibilities with this seem endless), arbitrarily changing existing classes (including built-in classes), coroutines (although you'll have to implement them yourself, since Ruby only has continuations built in), lightweight (non-OS) threads, closures, multiple inheritance (well, not exactly, but Ruby's "mixins" are just as good), "freezing" objects, and on and on.\n\nAlso, after reading through the online book Programming Ruby, I got the feeling that the designer and developer ("Matz") really knew what he was doing. The parts of the language fit together well and on the whole, the language is well rounded, with a feature for everyone.\n\nFinally, Ruby is easy to play with, because\n(1) you don't have do define a class and a method and write a ton of import/include/using statements (as in Java/C#/C++) -- code at the top level automatically runs (in a hidden method called "main", I think.)\n(2) you get the interactive interpreter called IRB, with which you can type statements and get immediate results. Multi-line statements (such as method and class definitions) are also allowed.\n\nThe one big problem with Ruby is that it is dynamically typed and interpreted, and thus very slow, although I've heard it is not much slower than Python or Perl.\n\nMy second favorite language is C# 2.0, which has most of the features I would want in a statically-typed language. (although there's certainly enough missing that I still wish I had time to develop my own language.)

As far as I understand, there must be some body fluid contact, however small. AIDS virus is found in blood, semen and vaginal secretions but oddly enough, NOT saliva. \n\n"Fluid contact" usually involves sexual intercourse, but may also happen when sharing needles, recieving contaminated blood etc. \n\nNot having sex at all provides the best protection, condoms are second best. In addition to condoms, good lubrication is also important, as it prevents the condom from breaking, and small skin abrasions from occuring. Your best bet is to use condoms and KY Jelly -- it's cheap & easy to apply (I wonder why so many people don't use it!). \n\nCondoms are not 100% safe, of course, but neither is driving to work in the morning.\n\nAIDS risk from unprotected o-r-a-l sex is low, but there are other things you can catch that way. A-n-a-l sex is very risky, abrasions are more likely to appear since lubrication often inadequate.\n\n( Yahoo Answers censors some words, hence the dashes. What a silly policy -- does AIDS advice need to be censored? I bet if I used really, really, nasty language, the filter would not catch them. )

You have to be a person that is detail oriented and like to see gross stuff. The surgical Tech usually finishes up what the doctor doesn't want to do, at times you will have to sew up the incision. They also have to account for all the stuff hta the doctors uses(gauze, scissors, and all of the instruments). They have to make sure that everything is accounted for so that it is not inside the person before the person is sewed up. It is a fun job but you have to like the work if you go into the field, but for the most part it is fun. The school part of it is hard but it is worth the work for the pay.

The initial treatment for a herniated disc is usually conservative and nonsurgical. Your doctor may prescribe bed rest, or advise you to maintain a low, painless activity level for a few days to several weeks. This helps the spinal nerve inflammation to decrease. herniated disc is frequently treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication if the pain is only mild to moderate. An epidural steroid injection may be performed utilizing a spinal needle under x-ray guidance to direct the medication to the exact level of the disc herniation. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy. Therapy may include pelvic traction, gentle massage, ice and heat therapy, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, and stretching exercises. Pain medication and muscle relaxants may also be beneficial in conjunction with the physical therapy. If these conservative measures do not help, then usually surgery is indicated.

Well Just a mom. You're having a cranky day aren't you. There is bad Psychiatry and there is bad Religion. Somebody in Med school and Seminary had to make the C's and D's. I think it is a little over the top to think that either Psychiatry or Religion is bad. I think it makes more sense to believe that I have a bad Psychiatrist or I have a bad Minister. A lot of people have better lives and believe that they have greater freedom because of the impact of Psychiatry or Religion on their lives. Not all of them are stupid. There are some people smarter than either of us who are solidly convinced that both Psychiatry and Relgion are real and that they can be complimentary.

Taken from the included link: "This phrase, in which French refers to "bad language", is employed when the speaker feels compelled to use an obscenity despite having listeners who might be offended. It's a late 19th century euphemism which first appeared in Harper's Magazine in 1895.\n\nIt is thought that the term French is employed in this sense as it already had a history of association with things considered vulgar. As far back as the early 16th century, French pox and the French disease were synonyms for genital herpes, and French-sick was another term for syphillis. The OED also equates the adjective French with "spiciness", as in French letter for "condom", French kiss (1923) and French (i. e. "sexually explicit") novels (from 1749)."

The custom of placing stones on a grave or gravestone may hearken back to the biblical custom of erecting a pile of stones over a grave as a marker. It may also reflect the importance of visitation to the grave, with the stone indicating that someone has been to visit.\n\nRabbi David Wolpe suggests that in ancient times, a shepard counted his sheep at the beginning of the day by carrying the corresponding number of stones, and these were used to ascertain that the same number returned at night. Rabbi Wolpe then suggests that thestones may symbolize how precious each soul is to God, who, as it were, 'counts" each person in the world.\n\n-->

People have a genetic coding that basically extends life to approx 125 years old. Our genetic make up accounts for approximately 30% of our life expectancy. Environment and habits accounts for the other 70%. Our bodies are constantly breaking down and our body does not have the ability to repair these breakdown indefinately. Once our body loses the ability to repair our breakdowns we begin to see signs of aging. Once the process begins we are unable to effectively stop it. Maybe with advances of science and gene therapy we can extend our ability to repair but until then you are kind of stuck with your genetic make up.

Allometry is the study of the relative rates of change of two variables of a system. In the study of landforms, or the processes acting upon them, the power function Y = a Xb is useful for correlating changes in variables. Allometric analysis includes the study of dynamic interrelations during geomorphic history, or the static interrelations at a given time. Such analyses may include aspects of geomorphic open systems that are tending toward a steady state, have attained a steady state, or do not tend toward a steady state. The highly flexible allometric model can be used to demonstrate adjustment between interdependent variables of hillslopes, streams, and depositional environments.\n\nIt is highly unlikely that geomorphic steady states exist, because the dependent variables of a geomorphic open system cannot attain a time-independent state where the independent variables do not remain constant. Independent variables, such as climate, uplift, base level, erodibility of surficial materials, and impact of man, are changing at rates that are sufficiently rapid as to preclude attainment of steady state, particularly for those landforms that require geologic time spans to approach steady-state configurations. For most studies of processes and landforms, a broad perspective of the interrelations of materials, processes, and landforms can be obtained by using the model of allometric change in which landscape elements and processes are changing at different rates.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

Girls do like nice guys. I had a bad boy phase myself, but after I got sick of their games and lies, a nice guy was the one who won my heart afterall. Sometimes it is hard for a girl to see that a guy they are dating isn't nice at first. Alot of jerks act super nice to get into bed with them, and even abusers have been known to act really sweet to the girl to gain their trust and then ruin their self confidence bit by bit, but the whole time, the girl may not see it, they see the "nice" guy they fell in love with. They sometimes never realize it was an act all along. Outsiders realize that this guy is a jerk, but the girl is so naive, they think that he really is nice, deep down. Some girls also feel they do not deserve someone nice. I felt this way for awhile after a mentally abusive relationship. I thought noone decent would love me. But I was wrong, and the girls who only date jerks are too. Just hard to make them see it. Find a girl who is ready for a nice guy, they are out there, justhard to find nowadays ;)

An atom is a submicroscopic structure found in all ordinary matter. It is the smallest unit of an element to retain all the chemical properties of that element. The word atom originally meant a smallest possible particle of matter, not further divisible. Later, the objects that had been called atoms were found to be further divisible into smaller subatomic particles, but the word atom nonetheless continues to refer to them.\n\nMost atoms are composed of three types of massive subatomic particles which govern their external properties:\n\n * electrons, which have a negative charge and are the least massive of the three;\n * protons, which have a positive charge and are about 1836 times more massive than electrons; and\n * neutrons, which have no charge and are about 1838 times more massive than electrons.\n\nTogether, protons and neutrons form the nucleus of an atom, which is surrounded by the electrons.\n\nAtoms can differ in the number of each of the subatomic particles they contain. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, but can differ in the number of neutrons, in which case they are called isotopes of that element. Atoms are electrostatically neutral if they have an equal number of protons and electrons. Electrons that are furthest from the nucleus are less tightly bound to the atom and are relatively easily transferred to other nearby atoms or even shared between atoms. Atoms which have either a deficit or a surplus of electrons are called ions. Particles in the nucleus also sometimes escape atoms, in a process known as radioactive decay.\n\nAtoms are the fundamental building blocks of chemistry, and are conserved in chemical reactions. Atoms are able to bond into molecules and other types of chemical compounds. Molecules are made up of multiple atoms; for example, a molecule of water is a combination of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom.

Unfortunately, yes. I think Manohla Dargis of the LA Weekly said it best:\n\n"The worst thing about Event Horizon--written by Philip Eisner, directed by Paul Anderson--isn't all the gore decorating the 21st-century space ship that gives the movie its name, but the filmmakers' reliance on shock edits and headache-inducing sound F/X to obscure the fact that this is one of the most derivative movies to hit screens in memory."

The speed of sound in air depends on a number of factors - air temperature and pressure. Generally the higher the altitude the lower the speed of sound.\n\nIn air, sound waves travel at around 330 metres/second (when the air temperature is 0 degrees centigrade). At 40 degrees centigrade (a very very hot day) the velocity increases to 354 metres/second in air.\n\nThe average figure for speed of sound at standard temperature and pressure is quoted as 343 metres per second or 767 miles per hour.

nothing to do with daylight savings. Daylight savings is a human invention, not a natural phenomenon.\n\n...because leap seconds are not being added to compensate for the Earth's rotation slowing down.\n\nThe amount of time it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun is 365.2425 days.\n\nEven that is an approximation, the decimal digits can keep going on.\n\nSo initially, the calendar was divided evenly in 365 days. But about every 4 years, you'd be off 1 day. A century later, you've drifted off by a whole month!\n\nSo, leap years came into effect. Febuary has another day every 4 years. \n\nBut now you've approximated a year to 365.25 days, when in reality, its 365.2425 days.\n\nEvery century, you'll be off 1 day.\n\nSo that's where the next rule comes into play: "If the year is divisible by 4, but not by 100, its a leap year."\n\nNow we've approximated it to 365.2425, but because its always going to be an approximation, our calendar days are always slipping. All because the earth doesn't take exactly 365 days to go around the sun.\n\nThis is why leap seconds are added, and not to account for the slowdown of the earth's rotation.\n\nAs to why days are divided in exactly 24 hours, I'm not sure. But I would think the time difference is WAY less than 20 minutes, or we'd notice that soon enough, its dark at noon! :) Time was divided a long time ago, and a simple system was sought for keeping track of it, so the minuts/hour/year thing is a nice division thats easy to do math with. The lost time, if its accounted for by leap years and such, could be easier to manage.\n\nFirst, I never said the earth is not slowing down. I said its not why leap seconds exist. And ok, I can entertain my explanation may be wrong, but that's no reason for your condescending tone, Jolly Roger. But look, your link brings me to a christian science evanglism site, where is the evidence that my answer is incorrect? \n\nYou haven't bothered to explain his original question. If leapseconds account for the slowdown of the earth's rotation, why are there leap seconds and not leap milliseconds?\n\nIf you want to append to your answer, at least try to do so while respecting the other users on this site, and not insult their intelligence.\n\nThis has piqued my curiosity, if there's anyone out there that has a source that says my explanation is incorrect, I mean an actual science website, you know, one that steers clear of religion, please let me know.

In the 7th century a monk from Crediton, Devonshire, went to Germany to teach the Word of God. He did many good works there, and spent much time in Thuringia, an area which was to become the cradle of the Christmas Decoration Industry.\n\nLegend has it that he used the triangular shape of the Fir Tree to describe the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The converted people began to revere the Fir tree as God's Tree, as they had previously revered the Oak. By the 12th century it was being hung, upside-down, from ceilings at Christmastime in Central Europe, as a symbol of Christianity.\n\nThe first decorated tree was at Riga in Latvia, in 1510. In the early 16th century, Martin Luther is said to have decorated a small Christmas Tree with candles, to show his children how the stars twinkled through the dark night.

Jews have been persecuted for Centuries for stupid reasons and have been made scrapegoats in many other occasions and forced to emigrate. \n\nKnowing that you can be expulsed from your country at any time does not make you very enclined to have many children. \n\nAdd to that the millions of Jews who were forced to convert in the Middle Ages and have now lost their heritage...\n\nAlso, Judaism in itself can feel restrictive (food laws as an example) and it tends to be centered on ancestors and ties to the land of Israel which makes it harder to recruit converts.

Genetics my question asker play the major role in determining your personality, however some people do believe that when you are concieved plays a part, because your mother has to deal with different enviromental factors with the changing of the seasons.\nAlso, the moon phases are believed to have an effect on the amniotic fluid you are swimming around in.\nAll of this leads to hints why people born under certain astrological signs act the way they do.

Xbox Live is just like any online game. The biggest issue you will ever see has to do with Latency, also known as "Lag". \n\nLatency occurs when there are bottlenecks in the general network layout. Think LA freeways at 5pm on a Friday night. Unfortunately this issue is not one you can change, because it has to do with the actual design of the network, so choosing your provider properly is essential.\n\nCable Internet, in its basic form, is a shared medium. This means that every person who subscribes to Cable in your neighborhood shares the same on-ramp to the internet. This is only a problem if there are large numbers of concurrent users in your area.\n\nDSL, on the other hand, connects you to the backbone in a more efficient, seperated manner. This has the advantage of being much less susceptible to latency. Unfortunately, this advantage goes down the farther away from the switching office (CO) you are. \n\nAnother thing to consider is newer Cable networks tend to use a different model of communications than the old ones, and so approach DSL levels of service.\n\nTo sum up: DSL is better than Cable, but tends to be slower. However any speed higher than about 1 meg / sec should be MORE than sufficient to run today's games.

Wikipedia is awesome.\n\n"In the 1st century, Zealots conducted a fierce and unrelenting terror campaign against the Roman occupiers of the eastern Mediterranean. The Zealots enlisted sicarii to strike down rich Jewish collaborators and others who were friendly to the Romans."
