3,703	1Science & Mathematics	What is a "Perfect Vortex"?	A perfect vortex is supposed to be a perfect spiral in water that is stable, and can theoretically be sustained to achieve many ends, including oceanic excavation, and more. I want to know why it is, and why it works.	Quoted:\n\nVortex flows show the sensitivity of water to external forces. The speed of movement of water in a vortex has a rhythm of its own; it extends and contracts in a rhythmic pulsation. The vortex is really composed of a series of flowing surfaces (like the ropes) all binding together as if by an invisible hand.\n\nThese flowing surfaces move at different speeds, slow on the outside and fast on the inside. The speed of movement of water in a vortex multiplied by the radius from the center is a constant. This means that forces in a perfect vortex approach infinity the hydrogen bonds of the water molecule cannot sustain the pressure difference and begin to stretch and weaken releasing powerful forces.\n\n....continued....\nWhen structured waters are made properly they are of immense benefit. Research has led to a number of other exciting discoveries relating to the benefits of structured waters upon the living system. These waters act as mineral carriers and more efficient nutrient transporters. Preliminary tests with cut flowers and other plants have shown a 400% increase in water and nutrient uptake when watered with structured water as opposed to the control group, which was watered with distilled water. What is true for plants may as well be true for animals. Preliminary experiments with vitamins and herbal extracts show a definite increase in absorption. Riboflavin, vitamin B12 is an easy vitamin to measure in urine. Testing with riboflavin has shown an increased absorption of 500% when taken with colloidal water versus distilled water.\n\nPlease refer to the site listed below:
3,704	0Society & Culture	What religion are you??		I am a Christian, but by that I mean a believing, thinking follower of Jesus, not just a cultural Christian. I take my faith seriously, not only in understanding its ramifications and foundations, but in living out its ethic of following the example, teachings, and practice of Jesus.
3,705	2Health	can stress kill you?		How much stress and of what kind? Heat stress as well as extreme cold can kill. Emotional stress can lower the immune system leading to illness and possibly death. On the other hand a little stress is good for you. Exercise is a form of stress that keeps you fit. Mental stress (Will I fail?) may inspire you to study hard and survive the test.\n\nStress often involves the human fight and flight reaction, releasing lots of adrenalin (ever feel the hairs on your neck rise - perhaps a barking dog right behind you? in a dark alley?). Ancient man had to tackle a different set of problems than we do today. Do I stand and fight the saber-toothed tiger or flee? Adrenalin helped with either decision (but not much with the tiger battle). A great deal of activity, kicking or running, then burned off the excess adrenalin.\n\nToday, when we get angry say at a red traffic light, we build up the adrenalin but just sit there and steem without burning it off. And that can harm the cardiovascular system (which includes the heart).\n\nYou have a choice. Either sit there shaking your fist fuming at a tiny red light filament and destroy your otherwise perfect body - or - say "I've been good and I deserve this 90 second break," taking your whitened fists off the steering wheel while relaxing and breething deeply. Either way, it's your heart. Good luck.
3,706	6Business & Finance	What should I do about my boss who expects me to spoon feed him day in and day out - I have had enough!?	I have worked for atty for 6 years, going on 7, for a big firm. Things have been going down hill from the first year - but it pays good so I stuck with it. He acts like he's totally helpless from printing a one page document to whatever tasks he can hand off on me. He procrastinates on everything. Just yesterday he gave me 200 reimbursements to be turned in before the end of year. He does that every year though. He is known in the office as a big pain & even the other offices in different cities know this about him. Resentment has been building up thru the years so I am somewhat cold towards him & just do my work. Thurs was my review & he said some things about me that were not kind, etc. I felt very hurt, because I stuck by him through all this. He couldn't ever keep a secretary. I called in sick the next day & i had all this end of yr work to be done. Should I just quit or wait & see what the firm does. I just can't take spoon feeding him on all things day in & day out any more.	It appears that the question period has expired. If you have received an answer that meets your needs, please choose a 'best answer.'\nRegards.

Law schools do have specialties, just as practicing lawyers do. These range from environmental law to corporate law and more
3,713	1Science & Mathematics	How can water erosion uncover fossils?		In addition to that, fossils are of a different density than the surrounding rock. As such, erosion will wash away either the surrounding rock or the fossil first.\n\nActual animal and plant remains are usually harder - either due to the bones, or calcification in dead tissue, so erosion will expose the fossil.\n\nAnimal prints made in mud flats will be softer than the surrounding rocks and water will hollow out the print.\n\nThere are some remarkable prints in Dinosaur State Park in Texas.

3,717	6Business & Finance	what is the meaning of primitive sympathy in psychology?		Sympathy comes from the Latin sympatha, from Greek sumpatheia, from sumpaths, affected by like feelings : sun-, syn- + pathos, emotion. Thus the essence of sympathy is that a person's feelings reflect or are like those of another.\n\nSympathy exists when the feelings or emotions of one person give rise to similar feelings in another person, creating a state of shared feeling. In common usage, sympathy is usually the sharing of unhappiness or suffering, but it can also refer to sharing other (positive) emotions as well. In a broader sense, it can refer to the sharing of political or ideological sentiments, such as in the phrase "a communist sympathiser" .\n\nThe PSYCHOLOGICAL state of primitive sympathy is closely linked with that of empathy, but is not identical to it. Empathy refers to the ability to perceive and directly experientially feel another person's emotions as they feel them, but makes no statement as to how they are viewed. Sympathy, by contrast, implies a degree of equal feeling, that is, the sympathiser views the matter similarly to how the person themselves does. It thus implies concern, or care or a wish to alleviate negative feelings others are experiencing.\n\nThus it is possible to be:\n\n * Empathetic but not sympathetic, by internally experiencing their feeling but not being motivated to alleviating action as a result (eg, a lust killer who is aroused by his victim's fear, or a con artist who knows how his "mark" feels but uses it to manipulate not support),\n and it is also possible to be:\n * Sympathetic but not empathetic by realising (perhaps cognitively) someone is upset and wanting to alleviate that, but not experiencing their sense of upset directly and internally as an emotional state within themselves (eg, a person at a help desk who sees another in distress, does not feel distress themselves, but tries to find what is wrong and help them anyway). \nhttp://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/sympathy

3,719	1Science & Mathematics	what is an example of an irrational number?		In mathematics, an irrational number is any real number that is not a rational number, i.e., one that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers, i.e., it is not of the form: a/b.\n\nSome irrational numbers are algebraic numbers, such as √2, the square root of two, and 3√5, the cube root of 5, and the golden ratio, symbolized by the Greek letter (phi) or less commonly by τ (tau); others are transcendental numbers such as π and e.
3,720	3Education & Reference	What is the easiest way to get your G E D?		Go to your nearest library and they usually have a program for you to get your G.E.D. The one around here pays for it if you take there classes and will pay for the first test. If you fail then you have to pay the next time. It has to be in the county you live in though.
3,721	6Business & Finance	What is the best gift you could give your mom on her birthday(not including chcolate and roses)?		My mother died a few years ago.

3,722	2Health	what is the best way to stop snoring?		New Way to Stop Snoring\n\nSnoring is more than just a noisy inconvenience. Doctors say it can be a sign of a serious medical condition.\n\nSurgery or the use of a bulky face mask was the only proven way to quiet nighttime noise. But now there's new hope thanks to a new treatment called the pillar procedure. \n\nHow the Pillar Procedure works\nThe Pillar Procedure addresses one of the anatomical components of sleep apnea and snoring: the soft palate. During the Pillar Procedure, three tiny woven inserts are placed in the soft palate to help reduce the vibration that causes snoring and the ability of the soft palate to obstruct the airway. Once in place, the inserts add structural support to the soft palate. Over time, the body's natural tissue response to the inserts increases the structural integrity of the soft palate.\nhttp://www.restoremedical.com/pillar.asp
3,723	1Science & Mathematics	Is there really a correlation between which way a man's penis hangs and what side his heart is on?	I read this somewhere, but can no longer find the article. The theory was that when the heart is on the left side of the chest, blood pumps from that side, causing the hanging appendage to lean slightly to one side. (I forget whether the same or the opposite side.) So, a penis that hangs to the opposite side from what is "normal" is supposed to be a sign of dextrocardia (having one's heart on the right instead of the left side). \n\nI just wondered if this theory was true. Please cite sources in your answer. Thanks!	this is not true. not at all. my source is that i am a urologist, and i do not see much dextrocardia, but i do see it hanging on boths sides quite often.

3,725	2Health	64oz a day of water is good, but how does one count other drinks?	It's generally said that it's healthy to drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. However, how does one count other drinks? Is a glass of milk half water? How about juice, that seems to be mostly water?	Normally, if you drink something that is not 100% water you wouldnt count it because the ingredients will affect your metabolic system by altering your hydration/dehydration levels. On top of that you are presurring your kidneys into more work when water just helps them. Unless its water, dont count it.
3,726	4Computers & Internet	How to make my .wma files work?	My computer used to be able to play .wma files on real player and windows media player. Recently, whenever I try to open a .wma file, my computer gives me an error. Is there a free way of fixing this problem?\n\n(My computer won't play streaming audio either, such as yahoo radio on yahoo messenger.)\n\nCan anyone help me?	First of all, try playing using VLC Player. If it dosen't work, then please post another question. I'll reply then, based on the symptoms of the problem. VLC stands apart from other player in the category of mutlimedia players. VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. In addition, it also can function as a streaming media server. Because of its open-source foundation, VLC Media Player evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently. Though the interface varies from platform to platform, the sparseness of the Windows version leaves plenty to be desired. \n\nThe best part is that it can even play parts of corrupted files, which other player cannot do. Even if you don't have codecs of a particular file format, it will play it.\n\nIts also very light on memory and the processor.\n\nThe only con of this player is that its interface is too plain, no sophistication, not that good a GUI. But if you are looking for some serious Mutimedia playing, this is right for the job.\n\nYou can download it from:\nhttp://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3003-2194_4-10410655.html?tag=tab_rev\n\nFor a good list of comparisons, check out :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_media_players
3,727	6Business & Finance	TO REGISTER INTERNET BANKING IS SAFE? ANY RISK OF LOSING MONEY?	I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT TO REGISTER IN THE BANK FOR THE INTERNET BANKING IS RISKY? I NEED TO TRANSFER MONEY FOR MY BUSINESS MATTERS SO I AM AFRAID OF ANY LOSING OR HACKERS IN THAT MATTER. IF ANY RISKY IN IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW.\n I APPRECIATE YAHOO AND ALL MEMBERS TO GIVE US CHANCE TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS THROUGH IT.	I think any bank that employs the type of robust encryption that is present on the majority of e-commerce sites on the Internet will give you no cause for concern. All data and information will remain safe from hackers. Since banks at least in the US have a legal obligation to keep such data secure, they employ addtional security measures for your protection.\n\nAs far as money transfers, they are likely not even done on the Internet, but on private financial networks like FedWire, the method banks in the US use to transfer funds for customers.

3,731	4Computers & Internet	FIREFOX...?	I have asked several questions, and many of the replies suggest that I consider FIREFOX. I'm not sure what it is - probably a browser. Is it similar to Netscape and Internet Explorer? What are its good features and its bad features?	Firefox IS a browser, published by Mozilla, that has been competing with Internet Explorer for the past couple years. It's actually a pretty cool browser that has turned out to nab more of the market than I think most people anticipated.\n\nGood features:\nGreat pop-up and spyware protection. This is also partly due to the fact that the vast majority of viruses and spyware are written FOR Explorer, which most people are running.\nProbably the best feature of Firefox is tabbed browsing, which opens up multiple windows within a single window so that your taskbar doesn't get crowded with all of the webpages you're navigating between.\nAlso, from their website...I think this is pretty cool: "Firefox 1.5 delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud."\n\nBad features:\nThe only one so far is that since most webpages are meant to be viewed with Explorer, I had limited accessibility to some web applications. For example, when Yahoo! introduced PhotoMail, I wasn't able to download the upgraded e-mail application because the service was built for certain versions of Explorer only. But as Firefox gets more popular (they just released an upgrade) I expect this to happen less.\n\nSo the people recommending this browser were absolutely correct! I have used it for almost a year now and love it.

3,734	3Education & Reference	Should we be doing other peoples homework when they post it on yahoo answers?		It is often hard to tell when a user is posting a homework assignment or not, but there are times when it is blatently obvious. Ideally, I think that it is best to provide a procedure and apply it to one of the problems and leave the rest unanswered. Unfortunatly, however, these questions are often easy ones that many users can answer, and thus there will usually be one to provide an easy answer.\n\nI've answered a few of these myself before noticing that a member was posting their whole homework assignment. I wish that they would heed the procedural answers, but it seems that the setup makes it too easy to obtain an answer.\n\nHowever, this ends up not working to the member's credit in the long run, as they do not learn the actual technique to solving their own problems. It is their loss, though I still consider it unethical to profit (even if it is merely through points) off of these sort of questions.
3,735	1Science & Mathematics	What are those pink spots in the snow?	After a snowfall, theses mysterious pink spots appear in the snow. I have only seen these spots in my hometown of Philadelphia. I have heard that it is possible that it could be airplane de-icer. I don't buy that. The spots are all over, under trees too. Plus, planes just don't fly only in Philly.	Remember 3-mile island, it was just close enough. just close enough...
3,736	1Science & Mathematics	who loves aviation?	tell me why... im such an idiot on this field yet i want to explore... the sound of height, freedom and air and gravity defying excites me... can u help me?	Most airports have a so-called Fix Based Operator (FBO) who would teach you how to fly. They have a $50 introductory flight which is cool to take. I recommend you consult AOPA.ORG or beapilot.com to look for your nearest airport. I am a private pilot myself and assure you that doing your own flying is awesome.

3,740	8Family & Relationships	Is it common??	40 year old man, divorced 13 years, single parent of 14 and 17 year olds...Haven't been in a relationship since my divorce and have let my life get centered around my kids to the point where I haven't even been out with a friend in over 10 years...to the point of not even having a friend to speak of. This isn't because I'm an ass or anything, but because I somehow quit even putting any care of effort into that part of my life..Is this a situation that other divorced and/or single parents find themselves in? Am I alone here???	It is the result of having a busy life. Your children and job take so much time that you most likely spend your "down time" just relaxing. It takes effort to make, keep and keep up with friends. You most likely have friends, just not ones you hang out with or do things with outside of work.

3,744	4Computers & Internet	how can i find and extract a physical US addess from an html page?		Look and see if the author has contact information listed. If there's a real name listed on the site then you should be able to do an online white pages search to find an address. Other than that, you'd have to contact the website host to see who owns the account, and most providers will not give out that information. If there's not an address listed on the page, chances are you won't find anything on it.
3,745	2Health	explain how self check help to dectect early cancer in male and female?		Cancer cells generally have a number of characteristic changes as compared with normal cells. They reproduce (through mitosis) very rapidly, and they do not usually stop, which can cause a lump on the breast or in the scrotum.\n\nNormal cells usually divide slower, and stop dividing either due to normal changes in the life cycle of the cell or because an external signal tells them not to divide.\n\nIf you self examine and find a lump you can go to the doctor and get the lump removed. If the cancer cells did not enter the lymphatic system or the blood stream, the cancer should be gone with surgical removal of the lump. If the cancer goes undetected for a while it has more of a chance to enter the blood stream and spread to other parts of the body. \n\nThis is called metastasis, and once the cancer has spread throughout the body is far more difficult to treat, becuase it cannot be removed with a simple operation or simple localized treatment. Also, once the cancer gets to places like the liver or pancreas, it will interfere with normal organ function, and when these organs stop working, you don't live long.
3,746	6Business & Finance	Does anyone know about Studentpay.com and whether or not it is a scam?		Sounds like a scam:\n"Mailing $1.00 per Envelope"\n\nWho in the right mind would give somebody a dollar to mail an envelope?!\n\nAnyways, I always keep this in mind. If you have to "pay" a membership fee to find a way to make money... then its a scam

3,749	2Health	How can I speed up my metabolism to burn fat?		High Intensity Interval Training also speeds up the metabolism. Its a type of cardio exercise where you sprint for 30 seconds, followed by 60 seconds of light jogging. Repeeat bout 10-15 times. Recent studies are showing that this is far more effective at burning calories post workout than any other method.
3,750	4Computers & Internet	Why is there online chat rooms?		To chat with other people in the world, mainly to find someone to connect with. Although being in Yahoo chat rooms I haven't achieved this process. People sit in the rooms and not say or type anything.
3,751	2Health	What is the best time to have food, before brushing teeth after brushing teeth?		before.

You are so right! Their old stuff rocks (I have Insomniac and Int'l Superhits!, looking for a Nimrod). I was watching "Welcome To Paradise" which is supposed to look like a live show, and the video never really focuses on any on member of the band. Billie Joe wasn't out there grabbing hands either, at the end of the video he was doing crowd dives and stuff like that, pushing the security guys around with the rest of the crowd. What I really can't stand in "St. Jimmy" is the shot of the little seven-or-so-year-old girl. Really-really-really-teenie bopper, my God!
3,755	4Computers & Internet	I have a problem in my ie6 with XP I always have can't find server with dnserror.htm?	Please I can't browse any iny intrnet page of this error ... help me what should I do	(1) Turn off firewalls, popup blockers and privacy programs just to diagnose.\n\n(2) Turn off all browser toolbars.\n\n(3) Check LAN settings under Tools>Internet Options>Connections, make sure that there's no Proxy server there (unless your ISP specifically says you need one)\n\n(4) Run a virus/spyware scan/clean.\n\n(5) Verify your actual internet connection and all of your settings with your ISP.\n\nIf you're getting "page can not be displayed" on every website you try to go to, your problem can be anything from total lack of internet connection to a rogue piece of spyware that has corrupted a necessary part of your networking configuration files. It can be a tough one, but these steps fix a lot of problems that you describe.
3,756	4Computers & Internet	Sending mail has become more difficult within the last month. Is this due to the holidays?		Yes.

Salt water taffy is a kind of taffy originally produced and marketed in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area beginning in the late 19th century.\n\nThe origins of the name are unknown. The most popular, although probably apocryphal, story concerns a candy-store owner whose shop was flooded during a major storm in 1883. His entire stock of taffy was soaked with salty Atlantic Ocean water. When a customer asked if he had any taffy for sale, he is said to have offered some "salt water taffy\nIs there salt water in saltwater taffy?\n\nActually, no. There is salt—and water—in saltwater taffy. But it isn’t made with ocean water, despite the fact that it’s so widely available at seaside vacation spots. \n\nSo how did saltwater taffy come to be? One story holds that a seaside candy store was flooded by a storm and the resulting saltwater-logged taffy was discovered to be delicious. However, this story is probably apocryphal

[1]). \n\nThese immigrants brought with them a very distinct style of English speaking, which was then combined with the African languages spoken by the African Americans who were at this time enslaved in the South. \n\nOver time this cultural and linguistic diversity combined with the South's rural isolation, and longtime use and familiarity with the King James Version of the Bible in religious life, to produce a unique American dialect.

What is a "Perfect Vortex"?

A perfect vortex is supposed to be a perfect spiral in water that is stable, and can theoretically be sustained to achieve many ends, including oceanic excavation, and more. I want to know why it is, and why it works.

Quoted:\n\nVortex flows show the sensitivity of water to external forces. The speed of movement of water in a vortex has a rhythm of its own; it extends and contracts in a rhythmic pulsation. The vortex is really composed of a series of flowing surfaces (like the ropes) all binding together as if by an invisible hand.\n\nThese flowing surfaces move at different speeds, slow on the outside and fast on the inside. The speed of movement of water in a vortex multiplied by the radius from the center is a constant. This means that forces in a perfect vortex approach infinity the hydrogen bonds of the water molecule cannot sustain the pressure difference and begin to stretch and weaken releasing powerful forces.\n\n....continued....\nWhen structured waters are made properly they are of immense benefit. Research has led to a number of other exciting discoveries relating to the benefits of structured waters upon the living system. These waters act as mineral carriers and more efficient nutrient transporters. Preliminary tests with cut flowers and other plants have shown a 400% increase in water and nutrient uptake when watered with structured water as opposed to the control group, which was watered with distilled water. What is true for plants may as well be true for animals. Preliminary experiments with vitamins and herbal extracts show a definite increase in absorption. Riboflavin, vitamin B12 is an easy vitamin to measure in urine. Testing with riboflavin has shown an increased absorption of 500% when taken with colloidal water versus distilled water.\n\nPlease refer to the site listed below:

can stress kill you?

How much stress and of what kind? Heat stress as well as extreme cold can kill. Emotional stress can lower the immune system leading to illness and possibly death. On the other hand a little stress is good for you. Exercise is a form of stress that keeps you fit. Mental stress (Will I fail?) may inspire you to study hard and survive the test.\n\nStress often involves the human fight and flight reaction, releasing lots of adrenalin (ever feel the hairs on your neck rise - perhaps a barking dog right behind you? in a dark alley?). Ancient man had to tackle a different set of problems than we do today. Do I stand and fight the saber-toothed tiger or flee? Adrenalin helped with either decision (but not much with the tiger battle). A great deal of activity, kicking or running, then burned off the excess adrenalin.\n\nToday, when we get angry say at a red traffic light, we build up the adrenalin but just sit there and steem without burning it off. And that can harm the cardiovascular system (which includes the heart).\n\nYou have a choice. Either sit there shaking your fist fuming at a tiny red light filament and destroy your otherwise perfect body - or - say "I've been good and I deserve this 90 second break," taking your whitened fists off the steering wheel while relaxing and breething deeply. Either way, it's your heart. Good luck.

I have worked for atty for 6 years, going on 7, for a big firm. Things have been going down hill from the first year - but it pays good so I stuck with it. He acts like he's totally helpless from printing a one page document to whatever tasks he can hand off on me. He procrastinates on everything. Just yesterday he gave me 200 reimbursements to be turned in before the end of year. He does that every year though. He is known in the office as a big pain & even the other offices in different cities know this about him. Resentment has been building up thru the years so I am somewhat cold towards him & just do my work. Thurs was my review & he said some things about me that were not kind, etc. I felt very hurt, because I stuck by him through all this. He couldn't ever keep a secretary. I called in sick the next day & i had all this end of yr work to be done. Should I just quit or wait & see what the firm does. I just can't take spoon feeding him on all things day in & day out any more.

In addition to that, fossils are of a different density than the surrounding rock. As such, erosion will wash away either the surrounding rock or the fossil first.\n\nActual animal and plant remains are usually harder - either due to the bones, or calcification in dead tissue, so erosion will expose the fossil.\n\nAnimal prints made in mud flats will be softer than the surrounding rocks and water will hollow out the print.\n\nThere are some remarkable prints in Dinosaur State Park in Texas.

what is the meaning of primitive sympathy in psychology?

Sympathy comes from the Latin sympatha, from Greek sumpatheia, from sumpaths, affected by like feelings : sun-, syn- + pathos, emotion. Thus the essence of sympathy is that a person's feelings reflect or are like those of another.\n\nSympathy exists when the feelings or emotions of one person give rise to similar feelings in another person, creating a state of shared feeling. In common usage, sympathy is usually the sharing of unhappiness or suffering, but it can also refer to sharing other (positive) emotions as well. In a broader sense, it can refer to the sharing of political or ideological sentiments, such as in the phrase "a communist sympathiser" .\n\nThe PSYCHOLOGICAL state of primitive sympathy is closely linked with that of empathy, but is not identical to it. Empathy refers to the ability to perceive and directly experientially feel another person's emotions as they feel them, but makes no statement as to how they are viewed. Sympathy, by contrast, implies a degree of equal feeling, that is, the sympathiser views the matter similarly to how the person themselves does. It thus implies concern, or care or a wish to alleviate negative feelings others are experiencing.\n\nThus it is possible to be:\n\n * Empathetic but not sympathetic, by internally experiencing their feeling but not being motivated to alleviating action as a result (eg, a lust killer who is aroused by his victim's fear, or a con artist who knows how his "mark" feels but uses it to manipulate not support),\n and it is also possible to be:\n * Sympathetic but not empathetic by realising (perhaps cognitively) someone is upset and wanting to alleviate that, but not experiencing their sense of upset directly and internally as an emotional state within themselves (eg, a person at a help desk who sees another in distress, does not feel distress themselves, but tries to find what is wrong and help them anyway). \nhttp://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/sympathy

what is the best way to stop snoring?

New Way to Stop Snoring\n\nSnoring is more than just a noisy inconvenience. Doctors say it can be a sign of a serious medical condition.\n\nSurgery or the use of a bulky face mask was the only proven way to quiet nighttime noise. But now there's new hope thanks to a new treatment called the pillar procedure. \n\nHow the Pillar Procedure works\nThe Pillar Procedure addresses one of the anatomical components of sleep apnea and snoring: the soft palate. During the Pillar Procedure, three tiny woven inserts are placed in the soft palate to help reduce the vibration that causes snoring and the ability of the soft palate to obstruct the airway.

Is there really a correlation between which way a man's penis hangs and what side his heart is on?

I read this somewhere, but can no longer find the article. The theory was that when the heart is on the left side of the chest, blood pumps from that side, causing the hanging appendage to lean slightly to one side. (I forget whether the same or the opposite side.) So, a penis that hangs to the opposite side from what is "normal" is supposed to be a sign of dextrocardia (having one's heart on the right instead of the left side). \n\nI just wondered if this theory was true. Please cite sources in your answer. Thanks!

this is not true. not at all. my source is that i am a urologist, and i do not see much dextrocardia, but i do see it hanging on boths sides quite often.

64oz a day of water is good, but how does one count other drinks?

It's generally said that it's healthy to drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. However, how does one count other drinks? Is a glass of milk half water? How about juice, that seems to be mostly water?

Normally, if you drink something that is not 100% water you wouldnt count it because the ingredients will affect your metabolic system by altering your hydration/dehydration levels. On top of that you are presurring your kidneys into more work when water just helps them. Unless its water, dont count it.

How to make my .wma files work?

My computer used to be able to play .wma files on real player and windows media player. Recently, whenever I try to open a .wma file, my computer gives me an error. Is there a free way of fixing this problem?\n\n(My computer won't play streaming audio either, such as yahoo radio on yahoo messenger.)\n\nCan anyone help me?

First of all, try playing using VLC Player. If it dosen't work, then please post another question. I'll reply then, based on the symptoms of the problem. VLC stands apart from other player in the category of mutlimedia players. VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. In addition, it also can function as a streaming media server. Because of its open-source foundation, VLC Media Player evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently. Though the interface varies from platform to platform, the sparseness of the Windows version leaves plenty to be desired. \n\nThe best part is that it can even play parts of corrupted files, which other player cannot do. Even if you don't have codecs of a particular file format, it will play it.\n\nIts also very light on memory and the processor.\n\nThe only con of this player is that its interface is too plain, no sophistication, not that good a GUI. But if you are looking for some serious Mutimedia playing, this is right for the job.\n\nYou can download it from:\nhttp://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3003-2194_4-10410655.html?tag=tab_rev\n\nFor a good list of comparisons, check out :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_media_players

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT TO REGISTER IN THE BANK FOR THE INTERNET BANKING IS RISKY? I NEED TO TRANSFER MONEY FOR MY BUSINESS MATTERS SO I AM AFRAID OF ANY LOSING OR HACKERS IN THAT MATTER. IF ANY RISKY IN IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW.\n I APPRECIATE YAHOO AND ALL MEMBERS TO GIVE US CHANCE TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS THROUGH IT.

I think any bank that employs the type of robust encryption that is present on the majority of e-commerce sites on the Internet will give you no cause for concern. All data and information will remain safe from hackers. Since banks at least in the US have a legal obligation to keep such data secure, they employ addtional security measures for your protection.\n\nAs far as money transfers, they are likely not even done on the Internet, but on private financial networks like FedWire, the method banks in the US use to transfer funds for customers.

FIREFOX...?

I have asked several questions, and many of the replies suggest that I consider FIREFOX. I'm not sure what it is - probably a browser. Is it similar to Netscape and Internet Explorer? What are its good features and its bad features?

Firefox IS a browser, published by Mozilla, that has been competing with Internet Explorer for the past couple years. It's actually a pretty cool browser that has turned out to nab more of the market than I think most people anticipated.\n\nGood features:\nGreat pop-up and spyware protection. This is also partly due to the fact that the vast majority of viruses and spyware are written FOR Explorer, which most people are running.\nProbably the best feature of Firefox is tabbed browsing, which opens up multiple windows within a single window so that your taskbar doesn't get crowded with all of the webpages you're navigating between.\nAlso, from their website...I think this is pretty cool: "Firefox 1.5 delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud."\n\nBad features:\nThe only one so far is that since most webpages are meant to be viewed with Explorer, I had limited accessibility to some web applications. For example, when Yahoo! introduced PhotoMail, I wasn't able to download the upgraded e-mail application because the service was built for certain versions of Explorer only. But as Firefox gets more popular (they just released an upgrade) I expect this to happen less.\n\nSo the people recommending this browser were absolutely correct! I have used it for almost a year now and love it.

Should we be doing other peoples homework when they post it on yahoo answers?

It is often hard to tell when a user is posting a homework assignment or not, but there are times when it is blatently obvious. Ideally, I think that it is best to provide a procedure and apply it to one of the problems and leave the rest unanswered. Unfortunatly, however, these questions are often easy ones that many users can answer, and thus there will usually be one to provide an easy answer.\n\nI've answered a few of these myself before noticing that a member was posting their whole homework assignment. I wish that they would heed the procedural answers, but it seems that the setup makes it too easy to obtain an answer.\n\nHowever, this ends up not working to the member's credit in the long run, as they do not learn the actual technique to solving their own problems. It is their loss, though I still consider it unethical to profit (even if it is merely through points) off of these sort of questions.

explain how self check help to dectect early cancer in male and female?

Cancer cells generally have a number of characteristic changes as compared with normal cells. They reproduce (through mitosis) very rapidly, and they do not usually stop, which can cause a lump on the breast or in the scrotum.\n\nNormal cells usually divide slower, and stop dividing either due to normal changes in the life cycle of the cell or because an external signal tells them not to divide.\n\nIf you self examine and find a lump you can go to the doctor and get the lump removed. If the cancer cells did not enter the lymphatic system or the blood stream, the cancer should be gone with surgical removal of the lump. If the cancer goes undetected for a while it has more of a chance to enter the blood stream and spread to other parts of the body. \n\nThis is called metastasis, and once the cancer has spread throughout the body is far more difficult to treat, becuase it cannot be removed with a simple operation or simple localized treatment. Also, once the cancer gets to places like the liver or pancreas, it will interfere with normal organ function, and when these organs stop working, you don't live long.

Salt water taffy is a kind of taffy originally produced and marketed in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area beginning in the late 19th century.\n\nThe origins of the name are unknown.

His entire stock of taffy was soaked with salty Atlantic Ocean water. When a customer asked if he had any taffy for sale, he is said to have offered some "salt water taffy\nIs there salt water in saltwater taffy?\n\nActually, no. There is salt—and water—in saltwater taffy. But it isn’t made with ocean water, despite the fact that it’s so widely available at seaside vacation spots. \n\nSo how did saltwater taffy come to be? One story holds that a seaside candy store was flooded by a storm and the resulting saltwater-logged taffy was discovered to be delicious. However, this story is probably apocryphal

[1]). \n\nThese immigrants brought with them a very distinct style of English speaking, which was then combined with the African languages spoken by the African Americans who were at this time enslaved in the South. \n\nOver time this cultural and linguistic diversity combined with the South's rural isolation, and longtime use and familiarity with the King James Version of the Bible in religious life, to produce a unique American dialect.

How much of stock options Google gives out to new employees?

What's the total market value of the initial grant (shares x grant price) at time you joined Google? $300K or $3M? I don't care about how many shares. It does not matter. \n\nI also heard of that 1/3 is in restricted stocks these days. Is that right?\n\nBW

It depends, if you joined now, not as much, but still a decent amount -- It depends on how long you work, your experience, and your position.\n\nIf you were apart of google back when it started:\nhttp://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40C1EFC395F0C728CDDAB0894DD404482

what are reasons that people oppose homosexuals?

I am doing a paper for class and really need this question answered

My opinion is...and remember this is only an opinion...I live in the south and most of the people around where I live are predominately Southern Baptist and I believe that why most people oppose homosexuality is that it does not look natural. Christians oppose to it as sin. As for myself personally, as long as they keep it to themselves and do not try to push it on others is fine, but I can't stand the flamers that go around and flaunt it....Hey we know you're gay so you don't have to put on a show....if you know what I mean. I hope I have helped.

how to write to an SD card using pixma mp130?

I'm trying to use the Card Slots on my Canon Pixma MP130 3-in-1. I can read the data when I plug in an SD card, but I cannot write data. Any ideas of a setting that will allow me to use the card slots for writing as well as reading?\n\nThanks!

I don't believe that you can write to a memory card using the Pixma mp130. Your best bet is to link your printer to your computer for file sharing.\n\nSorry
