Okay, so I'd really like to join cyworld, but it asks for a registration residence(sp?) number (or something like that), you have to live in Korea to get one.\nWhen I was trying to find out what it was(I know now) I found a board where people were talking about a "random korea registration resedence(sp?) number generator", I don't know if it's true, or not.\nHave you ever seen one? I've tried searching on yahoo but can't find anything.\nI'd like to ask the people that were talking about it, but the last post there was two months ago :/.	i don't think so. Like there arn't any social security generators so its the same thing

6,907	2Health	What is the best way to treat acne?\nto know the best way to \ntreat it that won't cost \na lot of money?	I have acne and I want to know the best way to treat it in which I don't have to spend a lot of money and I want to get results that won't cause my skin more problems.	One inexpensive thing to try is changing your diet. Some recommendations are:\n\n- eat fewer fatty foods, especially trans fats. Trans fats are hydrogenated oils that are in a lot of fast food and junk food, such as Oreos and fried foods\n\n- eat more protein, mostly found in meat, but also in tofu and lentils\n\n- eat less grains, i.e. bread, spaghetti, pizza. This and eating more protein has helped many friends of mine with their skin\n\n- don't have chocolate or coffee. These are not proven to have any relation to acne, but some doctors think certain people have skin reactions when they eat or drink a lot of it.\n\n\nI hope this helps! You'll have to experiment and see what works for you! Best of luck to you.

6,912	1Science & Mathematics	How come some poeple have two different colored eyes?		"There are hundreds of reasons why someone might have two different-colored eyes, known as hetero-chromia, says Dr. Richard Hertle, a pediatric opthamologist at the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. Two of these are direct injury to the eye or an underlying disease that affects the eyes."\n\nSee link for further information.

6,918	1Science & Mathematics	Frozen lake- how deep does the ice needs to get so that you can drive a car over it?	is there a way to know that it is safe all the way from one side to the other?	'Each year, as the ice begins to skim Minnesota’s lakes and ponds, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources receives hundreds of phone calls from anxious anglers who all have the same basic question: "Is the ice safe yet?" That’s when I whip out my trusty stock answer: "No, ice is NEVER safe."\n\n[...]\n\nHere are a few general guidelines for use by winter recreation enthusiasts to lessen their chances for an icy dip or worse. It’s impossible to judge the strength of ice by its appearance, thickness, daily temperature, or snow cover alone. Ice strength is actually dependent on all four factors, plus water depth under the ice, the size of the water and water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the load on the ice.\n\n[...]\n\n* Snowmobiles and ATV’s need at least 5 inches, and cars and light trucks need at least 8-12 inches of good clear ice.\n\n* Wear a life jacket. Life vests or float coats provide excellent flotation and protection from hypothermia (loss of body temperature). Never wear a life jacket if you are traveling in an enclosed vehicle, however. It could hamper escape in case of a breakthrough.\n\n* Carry a pair of homemade ice picks or even a pair of screwdrivers tied together with a few yards of strong cord that can be used to pull yourself up and onto the ice if you do fall in. Be sure they have wooden handles so if you drop them in the struggle to get out of the water, they won’t go straight to the bottom!\n\n* Avoid driving on the ice whenever possible. Traveling in a vehicle, especially early or late in the season is simply "an accident waiting to happen." In the 117 ice fatalities occurring in Minnesota since 1976, 68 percent involved a vehicle.\n\n* Be prepared to bail out in a hurry if you find it necessary to use a car, unbuckle your seatbelt and have a plan of action if you do breakthrough. Some safety experts recommend driving with the window rolled down and the doors ajar for an easy escape. Move your car frequently. Parking in one place for a long period weakens ice. Don’t park near cracks, and watch out for pressure ridges or ice heaves.\n\n* Don’t drive across ice at night or when it is snowing. Reduced visibility increases your chances for driving into an open or weak ice area.\n\n* Check at the access if there are signs that indicate an aeration system is in operation on the lake. Aerators keep areas of water open to provide oxygen for fish. The ice can be weakened many yards beyond where the ice is actually open. Stay well outside the fenced areas indicated by diamond shaped thin ice signs.'\n\n---\n\n'How can you tell if a lake is frozen solid enough to drive on? The surest way to know is to wait until several other cars and trucks have safely driven across the ice. Even then, you should always be extra careful when driving across a frozen lake.\n\nIt's possible that one section of the lake has currents that prevent the lake from freezing solid. Or there might be a river or stream that brings slightly warmer water into one part of the lake. So even though most of the lake was frozen solid, one section of the lake could have thin ice.'\n\n---\n\n'If you're driving your car (didn't we just say we don't recommend that) safety experts recommend that you drive with the windows down and your seatbelt off. Don't take this an excuse to drive without a seatbelt full time just in case you drive into a lake. Out on the ice you are driving on a lake and if the ice gives way from under you it is critical to get out of your vehicle before it is submerged. A car crashing into water can sink in a matter of seconds.'\n\n---\n\n'Take a hard look at the ice before you leap. Clear blue ice is the strongest, and it still takes three inches to safely hold a single person, and five to six inches to safely hold a group of people or a snowmobile. You supposedly can venture out onto thinner ice if you distribute your weig
6,919	7Entertainment & Music	Whats the lamest sitcom on tv right now?	What do you feel was the lamest and most unwatchable sitcom on tv this fall? \n\nOnly comedies please. \n\nPersonally, I think Twins is painful to watch... which is pretty sad because I like Sara Gilbert. \n\nBut OMG! so you have twins, one brunette who is all serious and business-like and the other blonde and a total airhead! And let's put them as co-owner of that store (I swear I watched at least 5 of those episodes and I'm not even sure what they do in there! is it a clothing store??) \n\nWhat an original concept!! a bimbo blonde and a square brunette struggling to work together. Never been done before for sure! \n\nWhat's your unbearable sitcom of the season?	If you mean only new sitcoms (which eliminates Joey from the running), Twins certainly ranks near the top of the list. Sara Gilbert, Mark Linn-Baker and Melanie Griffith all deserve better. But I think Love, Inc., might very well be worse than Twins. Love, Inc. stars Busy Phillips and Holly Robinson-Peete as two women who run a dating service in Manhattan. Busy Phillips was hired to replace Shannen Doherty because (supposedly) Shannen Doherty tested poorly in focus groups. Makes you wonder how bad Doherty was in the original pilot given the ineptitude of the series as currently aired on UPN.

6,922	7Entertainment & Music	do you think a person that grew up with no family grows up to be maturer than the average person?		Experience is a strict taskmaster, but it's more effective than any other method. Yes, I think that you mature more quickly without a support system, but you also make a lot more mistakes. All in all, it's better to have family and support than have to re-invent the wheel of life by yourself.
6,923	6Business & Finance	What do you think is the powdery stuff on the gum when you take the rapper off?	Not all gum have the same powdery stuff on it. I learned this on Modern Marvels. I found it very interisting.	I would guess powdered sugar or corn starch.
6,924	4Computers & Internet	What's the easiest way to get a DOS program that prints to LPT1 to print to a USB printer under Windows XP?	Working on a PC with no parallel port (brand new Dell XPS 600), with 3 printers connected USB. Can't find a card to add a parallel port in stores, so I'm looking for a way to do this by redirecting LPT1 output to one of the printers connected by USB.	I found the link below which basically says to access your locally connected printer on usb via the net use command in dos. Then you can redirect LPT1 to the printer. Very clever.

6,926	1Science & Mathematics	what is an effective way to troubleshoot a transistor? Any website that's worthy to look at?	This happens to be one of the components i have trouble with. One whay I hear is to look at it as two diodes reversed of one another. I'm a navy guy and its not too often I troubleshoot components (time consuming when in urgency).	I may be living in the past but I see transistors every day. The 2-diode analogy is pretty close to the mark. They meet at the base, pointing in for PNP and out for NPN. Check them that way with your multimeter set on diode setting. If the reading is inconclusive you may have to de-solder them from the circuit.

6,930	1Science & Mathematics	How does the greenhouse effect work and why?		Greenhouse effect is caused due to the what we call greenhouse gases(like carbon dioxide) which have a high heat retentive capacity. It refers to the continuous heating of an atmosphere by trapping in the incoming energy and letting only the mininmal amount of energy toradiate into space.So, it means that the heat from the sun is able to enter the earth's atmosphere but the amount radiated is much more lesser than what it should be. This always results in increase of the average temperature of the planet experiencing it.

6,934	7Entertainment & Music	Where can I find a site with a complete directory of all Musical Artists?	By complete directory, I mean that you can browse by Genre, Artist, Album, Song or whatever without having to search for one in particular. For example, MSN Music is out, as when browsing their directories, only up to 100 popular artists will be shown and all other artists in that category must be searched for to even appear on the site.	http://www.allmusic.com might work.

6,938	4Computers & Internet	No more IE on OSX?	IE is no longer bundled with OSX. I know that's not really a major problem since OSX users can get Firefox but still some websites require the use of IE. In addition IE for OSX will no longer be offered. What are OSX users going to do?	While I agree that no sites should be written to require any specific browser, the fact is that Mac IE will should be available for awhile for whoever really needs it. Archives like evolt.org have provided old versions of Netscape for years, for example. Eventually web developers will realize that all modern Mac users have Safari preinstalled, and that anyone can get Firefox freely. (The bigger problem is the number of developers coding specifically for Windows IE - ActiveX etc.)
6,939	2Health	how high my blood pressure can be?		A "normal" blood pressure is considered to be 120/80 by most standards. But, like blood glucose, it is unique to the individual as to what your body will tolerate before you start showing signs / symptoms. Be sure to monitor your blood pressure regularly at home and record your findings to share with your doctor.

6,944	8Family & Relationships	What do you think is the right time for a Guy to marry?		when he feels like 1/2 and not whole when he is away from the one he loves...When he can see in his minds eye what his children will look like with the person he loves. When the phone rings and his heart skips or speeds up thinking it might be her. When he is financially set to take on the responsability of providing a secure future for himself and the one he loves...When he can be in a crowded room with a bunch of women and only see her...When he can look into her eyes and know that they will grow old together. Oh and when her father says you can marry her then it is the right time, Hope this helps. :) P.S. I met my husband when I we were 19 now we are 33 and I always knew we would be together and married it just took him 8yrs to figure it out Hahah Happily married.
6,945	0Society & Culture	What is the difference between a geek and a nerd?		A geek is a cool nerd. A geek is a nerd who has "made it" in some way(s), by popular culture's standars. Usually, both nerds and geeks are smart, but a geek's intelligence has gained him some status in society in some way. Maybe he has earned a lot of money through his smarts, or has a job in a profitable, popular industry. Sometimes nerds aren't as smart as geeks, they're just people who are considered "uncool" by society's standards. Conversely, a nerd usually hasn't (by society's standards) gotten his intelligence to work for him the way a geek has.\nAnother definition might indicate that a geek is a very smart person who has expertise with digital technology, while a nerd is someone who is very smart, but not involved with digital technology. \nNote that all this is based on society's standards, which may or may not reflect the standards of any given individual. (BTW, the fact that I've just explained all this I think might qualify me as a nerd).
6,946	6Business & Finance	what are some nice things to do for your parents if you don't have alot of time or money?		An expensive gift will not always win their heart, try something simple, do the chores without asking for once, try your hand at preparing a nice meal, make a gift something simple and inexpensive say a card etc. Just show them you care and say I love you to them and you appreciate their efforts and care all these while, they'll appreciate that.
6,947	8Family & Relationships	Do you believe humans are meant to be monogamous?	Maybe we have just been brainwashed to think this by the major religions?	It's a much-researched phenomenon but most researchers agree that we as humans fall victim to habituation in that we get easily bored of things after extended amounts of time and try to seek out new, exciting things to fill the void. It has been said that life is a journey of finding "the next big thing" to satisfy ourselves and it's an endless cycle.
6,948	1Science & Mathematics	What is Quantum Theory?		quantum theory\nn.\nA theory in physics based on the principle that matter and energy have the properties of both particles and waves, created to explain the radiation of energy from a blackbody, the photoelectric effect, and the Bohr theory, and now used to account for a wide range of physical phenomena, including the existence of discrete packets of energy and matter, the uncertainty principle, and the exclusion principle. \nAny of various specific applications of this theory.\n\n\nquantum theory, modern physical theory concerned with the emission and absorption of energy by matter and with the motion of material particles; the quantum theory and the theory of relativity together form the theoretical basis of modern physics. Just as the theory of relativity assumes importance in the special situation where very large speeds are involved, so the quantum theory is necessary for the special situation where very small quantities are involved, i.e., on the scale of molecules, atoms, and elementary particles. Aspects of the quantum theory have provoked vigorous philosophical debates concerning, for example, the uncertainty principle and the statistical nature of all the predictions of the theory.\nRelationship of Energy and Matter\n\nAccording to the older theories of classical physics, energy is treated solely as a continuous phenomenon, while matter is assumed to occupy a very specific region of space and to move in a continuous manner. According to the quantum theory, energy is held to be emitted and absorbed in tiny, discrete amounts. An individual bundle or packet of energy, called a quantum (pl. quanta), thus behaves in some situations much like particles of matter; particles are found to exhibit certain wavelike properties when in motion and are no longer viewed as localized in a given region but rather as spread out to some degree.\n\nFor example, the light or other radiation given off or absorbed by an atom has only certain frequencies (or wavelengths), as can be seen from the line spectrum associated with the chemical element represented by that atom. The quantum theory shows that those frequencies correspond to definite energies of the light quanta, or photons, and result from the fact that the electrons of the atom can have only certain allowed energy values, or levels; when an electron changes from one allowed level to another, a quantum of energy is emitted or absorbed whose frequency is directly proportional to the energy difference between the two levels.\n\nDual Nature of Waves and Particles\n\nThe restriction of the energy levels of the electrons is explained in terms of the wavelike properties of their motions: electrons occupy only those orbits for which their associated wave is a standing wave (i.e., the circumference of the orbit is exactly equal to a whole number of wavelengths) and thus can have only those energies that correspond to such orbits. Moreover, the electrons are no longer thought of as being at a particular point in the orbit but rather as being spread out over the entire orbit. Just as the results of relativity approximate those of Newtonian physics when ordinary speeds are involved, the results of the quantum theory agree with those of classical physics when very large “quantum numbers” are involved, i.e., on the ordinary large scale of events; this agreement in the classical limit is required by the correspondence principle of Niels Bohr. The quantum theory thus proposes a dual nature for both waves and particles, one aspect predominating in some situations, the other predominating in other situations.\n\nEvolution of Quantum Theory\n\nEarly Developments\n\nWhile the theory of relativity was largely the work of one man, Albert Einstein, the quantum theory was developed principally over a period of thirty years through the efforts of many scientists. The first contribution was the explanation of black body radiation in 1900 by Max Planck, who proposed that the energies of any harmonic osci

6,950	8Family & Relationships	How can I get rid of my friend?	Ever since my friend tasted my wife's cooking he won't stop coming over my house. What should I do?	start by telling him that you guys wont be home. if he comes over on saturday say oh well we wont be home tomorrow and probably not monday either. then when he shows up tuesday say you are spending some alone time together...slowly but surely he will stop comming. or just tell him listen i enjoy your company but you can come over this often. and the rejection hotline is always good too lol
6,951	6Business & Finance	is swallowing swimming pool water bad 4 u?	not drinking on purpose, but on accident.\nmy parents said its bad cause it has chemicals in it.\ni want ur guys opinion.....	If the water is clear and properly chlorinated, swallowing small amounts will not likely hurt you. The most common chemical in pool water is chlorine, but it's in amounts only slightly higher than your tap water; not really a problem. There are dissolved solids like minerals, salts, metals... drinking it over a long term can damage your liver.

Hey cable_ray,\n One of the most easiest way to get the recipie you require or any other synthesis can be found on the following website. It is the organic synthesis website, maintained by cambridgesoft.com. It is a free service they provide. You can use it. Just put in the name of the ether you want to produce eg. dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, etc. I am an MSc by research student. So you can also mail me.

6,954	1Science & Mathematics	does any one know a name of a poison that kills when put on skin?		The protein ricin (pronounced rye-sin) is a poison manufactured from the castor bean (Ricinus communis). It is considered to be twice as deadly as cobra venom.
6,955	9Politics & Government	Should car be banned in city centre?	Please give me the reason and more details because I need to write a arguement essay on it.	Well, there are two sides to this issue - I don't know if you are arguing in favor, or against it - so here goes.\n\nOn the plus side (i.e. banning cars in the city center), you would reduce traffic, congestion, wear and tear on the streets. You could hold events (parades, celebrations, rally's, etc.) in the area without significantly affecting traffic. Also, car-free areas in the downtown (i.e. city center) can help to revitalize an area of the downtown - it can be made to look nice, maybe with something like nice bricks, or cobblestones.\n\nOn the other hand (against banning cars in the city center), if you ban cars in the downtown area, you'll be loosing revenue from on-street parking and any parking tickets the city issues, depending upon the size of the car-free area, it will be more difficult to get to the city center, it might adversely affect sales for businesses in the affected area.\n\nOne option, used in downtown Minneapolis (Nicollet Mall) allows taxis and busses, but not private (i.e. car) traffic. This allows people to get down to the area via public transportation, or by taking a taxi. Of course, it's only one block wide by several (5 or 6 I think) blocks long.\n\nHere are two sites that might provide helpful information:\n\nhttp://www.worldcarfree.net/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_street

6,958	2Health	What's the best way to fight a cold?		LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!

6,962	7Entertainment & Music	Why are Cancers so attracted to Scorpios?	???	Scorpio With Cancer:\nCancers natural concern for other people may somehow lead Scorpio to think that they are using Cancers good nature and disposition, secretly these thoughts will come from a touch of jealousy of Cancers interest in someone besides him/her. Cancer has great respect for Scorpio, and even though Cancer is of a slightly critical nature Cancer will learn to phrase these criticisms without wounding Scorpio's pride. These two can get along on a very high level. Soul mates are common in this match up. A very good relationship but needs constant maintenance. \n\nBoth are ruled by the emotions and both are water signs. Can be very constructive or very destructive depending on the next wave. If these two water signs could only learn to float instead of surge.

6,966	9Politics & Government	What gives a State the right to tax citizens for property they already own? (Personal Property Tax)?	If you buy a cheeseburger, you pay for it and the taxes on it once. It is now your cheeseburger. You can eat it or throw it away... but you're never taxed on it again. Why, then, can you buy a car and be taxed each year for the ownership of it (even if it's paid in full)? What right does the State have to demand tax money for a product that has been paid for in full, including sales tax?	I see no difference between a property tax, use tax, sales tax or income tax as far as the government's power to levy. However, you should consider that most taxable property has the ability to generate income. When real property produces a continuous benefit to the owner (as opposed to a cheeseburger eaten and digested), I think it's fair to tax that benefit.

And there are the pure obsessionals who have unwanted, often violent thoughts concerning death, murder, suicide, or sexual acts. These are only some strains of OCD, and everyone who has it has a slightly different condition. OCD is usualy manageable with the propper tools.

6,977	2Health	What are the health benefits of gingko biloba?	What remedies has anyone found for tinnitus?	Medical uses\nThe extract of the Ginkgo leaves contains flavonoid glycosides and ginkgolides and has been used pharmaceutically. It has many alleged properties, but is mainly used as memory enhancer and anti-vertigo agent. However, studies differ about its efficacy.\n\nIt is commonly added to energy drinks, but it is expensive, so the amount is typically so low it does not produce a noticeable effect, except for the placebo effect from being listed on the label. A study published in the August 21, 2002 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that there is no difference between the memory abilities of people taking ginkgo supplements and those taking a placebo.\n\nSide effects\nGinkgo may have some undesirable effects, especially for individuals with blood circulation disorders and those taking anti-coagulants such as aspirin and warfarin, although recent studies have found that ginkgo has little or no effect on the anticoagulant properties or pharmacodynamics of warfarin[1][2]. It should also not be used by people who are taking the anti-depressant drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or by pregnant women.\n\nGinkgo side effects and cautions include increased risk of bleeding, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and restlessness. Ginkgo should also not be used by pregnant women or people with a blood clotting disorder.\n\nIf any side effects are experienced the dosage should be lowered immediately. Ginkgo supplements are usually taken in the range of 40-200 mg per day. If the side effects continue usage should be stopped completely.\n\nTinnitus:\n\nTreatment\nSome types of tinnitus can be treated while others are permanent. In general, there are no cures specific to tinnitus, but if it is caused by a physical condition that can be treated, the tinnitus may also resolve. Chronic tinnitus can be quite stressful psychologically as it distracts the affected individual from mental tasks and interferes with sleep, particularly when there is no external sound. The affected individual may have to generate artificial noise that masks the tinnitus sound. A combination of external masking and psychological counseling known as tinnitus retraining therapy is widely practiced. While it does not actually cure the tinnitus, many report that it becomes much less disturbing and easier to ignore.

6,993	0Society & Culture	How did Transalvania get linked to Dramcula and Vampires?		Our current image of "Count Dracula" and vampires can trace its roots to the novel written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker. His book of course was fiction but it was loosely based on a real ruler from Transylvania (which is in modern-day Romania)named Vlad the Impaller. I think that the name Dracula comes from the Romanian language and means "Son of the Dragon" or "Son of the Devil". However, I don't think that that was ever Vlad's name. The ruler named Vlad had little to do with the novelist's vampire except that he had a reputation for cruelty (he was called "The Impaller" because he reputedly killed his enemies by impalling them on stakes).
6,994	2Health	what are the sexual benefits of circumcision?		There are several:\n\n1 Many older men, who have bladder or prostate gland problems, also develop difficulties with their foreskins due to their surgeon's handling, cleaning, and using instruments. Some of these patients will need circumcising. Afterwards it is often astonishing to find some who have never ever seen their glans (knob) exposed before!\n\n2 Some older men develop cancer of the penis - about 1 in 1000 - fairly rare, but tragic if you or your son are in that small statistic. Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection.\n\n3 Cancer of the cervix in women is due to the Human Papilloma Virus. It thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. An article in the British Medical Journal in April 2002 suggested that at least 20% of cancer of the cervix would be avoided if all men were circumcised. Surely that alone makes it worth doing?\n\n4 Protection against HIV and AIDS. Another British Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used - this applies also to preventing cancer of the cervix in women who have several partners.)\n\nA BBC television programme in November 2000 showed two Ugandan tribes across the valley from one another. One practised circumcision and had very little AIDS, whereas, it was common in the other tribe, who then also started circumcising. This programme showed how the infection thrived in the lining of the foreskin, making it much easier to pass on.\n\n5 As with HIV, so some protection exists against other sexually transmitted infections. Accordingly, if a condom splits or comes off, there is some protection for the couple. However, the only safe sex is to stick to one partner or abstain.\n\n6 Lots of men, and their partners, prefer the appearance of their penis after circumcision, It is odour-free, it feels cleaner, and they enjoy better sex. Awareness of a good body image is a very important factor in building self confidence. \n\n7 Balanitis is an unpleasant, often recurring, inflammation of the glans. It is quite common and can be prevented by circumcision.\n\n8 Urinary tract infections sometimes occur in babies and can be quite serious. Circumcision in infancy makes it 10 times less likely.

6,997	1Science & Mathematics	Why is it I can go East or West forever, but go only go so far North or South before changing direction?		In order to create any sort of system for describing movements around a sphere, you need to choose some fixed reference point somewhere. In the case of the standard system for describing movements on the surface of the Earth which you're talking about, the point that's been chosen is the North Pole (& its sister the South Pole). This creates north/south movement, which is movement towards either one of these places. East/west movement is a different sort of movement which can be described within the same framework-- movement along imaginary parallel lines placed perpendicular to the up-down orientation you're imagining. \n \nIt's all arbitrary. You could imagine a system where there's a direction-- let's call it Glork-- that leads directly to your house. If you go "all the way" Glork, you get to your house. If you go "all the way" Anti-Glork, you get to the point on th Earth which is directly opposite your house. And there are two directions of movement, analogous to east and west, where you move on around the planet on parallels perpendicular to Glork and Anti-Glork. Same deal. \n \nAs to the history of our particular convention on directions, it helps to understand that when it was invented most people didn't understand that the world is a sphere. So, to them, it was just the four functionally equivalent directions that you get on a 2d surface. \n \n<3

What is the best way to treat acne?\nto know the best way to \ntreat it that won't cost \na lot of money?

I have acne and I want to know the best way to treat it in which I don't have to spend a lot of money and I want to get results that won't cause my skin more problems.

One inexpensive thing to try is changing your diet. Some recommendations are:\n\n- eat fewer fatty foods, especially trans fats. Trans fats are hydrogenated oils that are in a lot of fast food and junk food, such as Oreos and fried foods\n\n- eat more protein, mostly found in meat, but also in tofu and lentils\n\n- eat less grains, i.e. bread, spaghetti, pizza. This and eating more protein has helped many friends of mine with their skin\n\n- don't have chocolate or coffee. These are not proven to have any relation to acne, but some doctors think certain people have skin reactions when they eat or drink a lot of it.\n\n\nI hope this helps! You'll have to experiment and see what works for you! Best of luck to you.

Frozen lake- how deep does the ice needs to get so that you can drive a car over it?

is there a way to know that it is safe all the way from one side to the other?

'Each year, as the ice begins to skim Minnesota’s lakes and ponds, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources receives hundreds of phone calls from anxious anglers who all have the same basic question: "Is the ice safe yet?" That’s when I whip out my trusty stock answer: "No, ice is NEVER safe."\n\n[...]\n\nHere are a few general guidelines for use by winter recreation enthusiasts to lessen their chances for an icy dip or worse. It’s impossible to judge the strength of ice by its appearance, thickness, daily temperature, or snow cover alone. Ice strength is actually dependent on all four factors, plus water depth under the ice, the size of the water and water chemistry, currents, and distribution of the load on the ice.\n\n[...]\n\n* Snowmobiles and ATV’s need at least 5 inches, and cars and light trucks need at least 8-12 inches of good clear ice.\n\n* Wear a life jacket. Life vests or float coats provide excellent flotation and protection from hypothermia (loss of body temperature). Never wear a life jacket if you are traveling in an enclosed vehicle, however. It could hamper escape in case of a breakthrough.\n\n* Carry a pair of homemade ice picks or even a pair of screwdrivers tied together with a few yards of strong cord that can be used to pull yourself up and onto the ice if you do fall in. Be sure they have wooden handles so if you drop them in the struggle to get out of the water, they won’t go straight to the bottom!\n\n* Avoid driving on the ice whenever possible. Traveling in a vehicle, especially early or late in the season is simply "an accident waiting to happen." In the 117 ice fatalities occurring in Minnesota since 1976, 68 percent involved a vehicle.\n\n* Be prepared to bail out in a hurry if you find it necessary to use a car, unbuckle your seatbelt and have a plan of action if you do breakthrough. Some safety experts recommend driving with the window rolled down and the doors ajar for an easy escape. Move your car frequently. Parking in one place for a long period weakens ice. Don’t park near cracks, and watch out for pressure ridges or ice heaves.\n\n* Don’t drive across ice at night or when it is snowing. Reduced visibility increases your chances for driving into an open or weak ice area.\n\n* Check at the access if there are signs that indicate an aeration system is in operation on the lake. Aerators keep areas of water open to provide oxygen for fish. The ice can be weakened many yards beyond where the ice is actually open. Stay well outside the fenced areas indicated by diamond shaped thin ice signs.'\n\n---\n\n'How can you tell if a lake is frozen solid enough to drive on? The surest way to know is to wait until several other cars and trucks have safely driven across the ice. Even then, you should always be extra careful when driving across a frozen lake.\n\nIt's possible that one section of the lake has currents that prevent the lake from freezing solid. Or there might be a river or stream that brings slightly warmer water into one part of the lake. So even though most of the lake was frozen solid, one section of the lake could have thin ice.'\n\n---\n\n'If you're driving your car (didn't we just say we don't recommend that) safety experts recommend that you drive with the windows down and your seatbelt off. Don't take this an excuse to drive without a seatbelt full time just in case you drive into a lake. Out on the ice you are driving on a lake and if the ice gives way from under you it is critical to get out of your vehicle before it is submerged. A car crashing into water can sink in a matter of seconds.'\n\n---\n\n'Take a hard look at the ice before you leap. Clear blue ice is the strongest, and it still takes three inches to safely hold a single person, and five to six inches to safely hold a group of people or a snowmobile. You supposedly can venture out onto thinner ice if you distribute your weig

Whats the lamest sitcom on tv right now?

What do you feel was the lamest and most unwatchable sitcom on tv this fall? \n\nOnly comedies please. \n\nPersonally, I think Twins is painful to watch... which is pretty sad because I like Sara Gilbert. \n\nBut OMG! so you have twins, one brunette who is all serious and business-like and the other blonde and a total airhead! And let's put them as co-owner of that store (I swear I watched at least 5 of those episodes and I'm not even sure what they do in there! is it a clothing store??) \n\nWhat an original concept!! a bimbo blonde and a square brunette struggling to work together. Never been done before for sure! \n\nWhat's your unbearable sitcom of the season?

If you mean only new sitcoms (which eliminates Joey from the running), Twins certainly ranks near the top of the list. Sara Gilbert, Mark Linn-Baker and Melanie Griffith all deserve better. But I think Love, Inc., might very well be worse than Twins. Love, Inc. stars Busy Phillips and Holly Robinson-Peete as two women who run a dating service in Manhattan. Busy Phillips was hired to replace Shannen Doherty because (supposedly) Shannen Doherty tested poorly in focus groups. Makes you wonder how bad Doherty was in the original pilot given the ineptitude of the series as currently aired on UPN.

I may be living in the past but I see transistors every day. The 2-diode analogy is pretty close to the mark. They meet at the base, pointing in for PNP and out for NPN. Check them that way with your multimeter set on diode setting. If the reading is inconclusive you may have to de-solder them from the circuit.

How does the greenhouse effect work and why?

Greenhouse effect is caused due to the what we call greenhouse gases(like carbon dioxide) which have a high heat retentive capacity. It refers to the continuous heating of an atmosphere by trapping in the incoming energy and letting only the mininmal amount of energy toradiate into space.So, it means that the heat from the sun is able to enter the earth's atmosphere but the amount radiated is much more lesser than what it should be. This always results in increase of the average temperature of the planet experiencing it.

What is the difference between a geek and a nerd?

A geek is a cool nerd. A geek is a nerd who has "made it" in some way(s), by popular culture's standars. Usually, both nerds and geeks are smart, but a geek's intelligence has gained him some status in society in some way. Maybe he has earned a lot of money through his smarts, or has a job in a profitable, popular industry. Sometimes nerds aren't as smart as geeks, they're just people who are considered "uncool" by society's standards. Conversely, a nerd usually hasn't (by society's standards) gotten his intelligence to work for him the way a geek has.\nAnother definition might indicate that a geek is a very smart person who has expertise with digital technology, while a nerd is someone who is very smart, but not involved with digital technology. \nNote that all this is based on society's standards, which may or may not reflect the standards of any given individual. (BTW, the fact that I've just explained all this I think might qualify me as a nerd).

What is Quantum Theory?

quantum theory\nn.\nA theory in physics based on the principle that matter and energy have the properties of both particles and waves, created to explain the radiation of energy from a blackbody, the photoelectric effect, and the Bohr theory, and now used to account for a wide range of physical phenomena, including the existence of discrete packets of energy and matter, the uncertainty principle, and the exclusion principle. \nAny of various specific applications of this theory.\n\n\nquantum theory, modern physical theory concerned with the emission and absorption of energy by matter and with the motion of material particles; the quantum theory and the theory of relativity together form the theoretical basis of modern physics. Just as the theory of relativity assumes importance in the special situation where very large speeds are involved, so the quantum theory is necessary for the special situation where very small quantities are involved, i.e., on the scale of molecules, atoms, and elementary particles. Aspects of the quantum theory have provoked vigorous philosophical debates concerning, for example, the uncertainty principle and the statistical nature of all the predictions of the theory.\nRelationship of Energy and Matter\n\nAccording to the older theories of classical physics, energy is treated solely as a continuous phenomenon, while matter is assumed to occupy a very specific region of space and to move in a continuous manner. According to the quantum theory, energy is held to be emitted and absorbed in tiny, discrete amounts. An individual bundle or packet of energy, called a quantum (pl. quanta), thus behaves in some situations much like particles of matter; particles are found to exhibit certain wavelike properties when in motion and are no longer viewed as localized in a given region but rather as spread out to some degree.\n\nFor example, the light or other radiation given off or absorbed by an atom has only certain frequencies (or wavelengths), as can be seen from the line spectrum associated with the chemical element represented by that atom. The quantum theory shows that those frequencies correspond to definite energies of the light quanta, or photons, and result from the fact that the electrons of the atom can have only certain allowed energy values, or levels; when an electron changes from one allowed level to another, a quantum of energy is emitted or absorbed whose frequency is directly proportional to the energy difference between the two levels.\n\nDual Nature of Waves and Particles\n\nThe restriction of the energy levels of the electrons is explained in terms of the wavelike properties of their motions: electrons occupy only those orbits for which their associated wave is a standing wave (i.e., the circumference of the orbit is exactly equal to a whole number of wavelengths) and thus can have only those energies that correspond to such orbits. Moreover, the electrons are no longer thought of as being at a particular point in the orbit but rather as being spread out over the entire orbit. Just as the results of relativity approximate those of Newtonian physics when ordinary speeds are involved, the results of the quantum theory agree with those of classical physics when very large “quantum numbers” are involved, i.e., on the ordinary large scale of events; this agreement in the classical limit is required by the correspondence principle of Niels Bohr. The quantum theory thus proposes a dual nature for both waves and particles, one aspect predominating in some situations, the other predominating in other situations.\n\nEvolution of Quantum Theory\n\nEarly Developments\n\nWhile the theory of relativity was largely the work of one man, Albert Einstein, the quantum theory was developed principally over a period of thirty years through the efforts of many scientists. The first contribution was the explanation of black body radiation in 1900 by Max Planck, who proposed that the energies of any harmonic osci

Should car be banned in city centre?

Please give me the reason and more details because I need to write a arguement essay on it.

Well, there are two sides to this issue - I don't know if you are arguing in favor, or against it - so here goes.\n\nOn the plus side (i.e. banning cars in the city center), you would reduce traffic, congestion, wear and tear on the streets. You could hold events (parades, celebrations, rally's, etc.) in the area without significantly affecting traffic. Also, car-free areas in the downtown (i.e. city center) can help to revitalize an area of the downtown - it can be made to look nice, maybe with something like nice bricks, or cobblestones.\n\nOn the other hand (against banning cars in the city center), if you ban cars in the downtown area, you'll be loosing revenue from on-street parking and any parking tickets the city issues, depending upon the size of the car-free area, it will be more difficult to get to the city center, it might adversely affect sales for businesses in the affected area.\n\nOne option, used in downtown Minneapolis (Nicollet Mall) allows taxis and busses, but not private (i.e. car) traffic. This allows people to get down to the area via public transportation, or by taking a taxi. Of course, it's only one block wide by several (5 or 6 I think) blocks long.\n\nHere are two sites that might provide helpful information:\n\nhttp://www.worldcarfree.net/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_street

What's the best way to fight a cold?

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!

Why are Cancers so attracted to Scorpios?

???

Scorpio With Cancer:\nCancers natural concern for other people may somehow lead Scorpio to think that they are using Cancers good nature and disposition, secretly these thoughts will come from a touch of jealousy of Cancers interest in someone besides him/her. Cancer has great respect for Scorpio, and even though Cancer is of a slightly critical nature Cancer will learn to phrase these criticisms without wounding Scorpio's pride. These two can get along on a very high level. Soul mates are common in this match up. A very good relationship but needs constant maintenance. \n\nBoth are ruled by the emotions and both are water signs. Can be very constructive or very destructive depending on the next wave.

What gives a State the right to tax citizens for property they already own? (Personal Property Tax)?

If you buy a cheeseburger, you pay for it and the taxes on it once. It is now your cheeseburger. You can eat it or throw it away... but you're never taxed on it again. Why, then, can you buy a car and be taxed each year for the ownership of it (even if it's paid in full)? What right does the State have to demand tax money for a product that has been paid for in full, including sales tax?

I see no difference between a property tax, use tax, sales tax or income tax as far as the government's power to levy. However, you should consider that most taxable property has the ability to generate income. When real property produces a continuous benefit to the owner (as opposed to a cheeseburger eaten and digested), I think it's fair to tax that benefit.

Read, read, read. Working in a round pen is not something you can accomplish by reading one book, or even watching one video. Please for the horses sake read up as much as you can before you try it. When you start you will make mistakes, but you can minimize them with a lot of research. I recomend learning how to work your horse on a line first and teach them to disengage their hind quarters. If you do not know what that means, you are definatly not ready for round pen work.\n\nAlso read books like Buck Brannamans "Far Away Horses", and Mark Rashid- "Horses Never Lie"\n\nParelli books and video's help also.\n\nGood luck!!!!

I think about sound and vision...

The highest level of detail in a release I have seen thus far is in the Special Edition versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Almost every aspect of the film creation process has been captured or touched on, numerous voice over tracks, outstanding video and audio presentation. Overall, the best job of producing a DVD that I have seen.

www.annualcreditrport.com is the source for a free report among the 3 largest credit reporting agencies. Experian, Transunion etc.\n\nWhat I do is to stage them 3 times a year so I can see what is being reported with each company.\n\nI simply mark my calender and then get an updated report.\n\nYou can get all three at once, but I think thats overkill.\n\nYou will pay a small fee for a FICO score.\n\nBest to you.

What are the health benefits of gingko biloba?

What remedies has anyone found for tinnitus?

Medical uses\nThe extract of the Ginkgo leaves contains flavonoid glycosides and ginkgolides and has been used pharmaceutically. It has many alleged properties, but is mainly used as memory enhancer and anti-vertigo agent. However, studies differ about its efficacy.\n\nIt is commonly added to energy drinks, but it is expensive, so the amount is typically so low it does not produce a noticeable effect, except for the placebo effect from being listed on the label. A study published in the August 21, 2002 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that there is no difference between the memory abilities of people taking ginkgo supplements and those taking a placebo.\n\nSide effects\nGinkgo may have some undesirable effects, especially for individuals with blood circulation disorders and those taking anti-coagulants such as aspirin and warfarin, although recent studies have found that ginkgo has little or no effect on the anticoagulant properties or pharmacodynamics of warfarin[1][2]. It should also not be used by people who are taking the anti-depressant drugs known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or by pregnant women.\n\nGinkgo side effects and cautions include increased risk of bleeding, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and restlessness. Ginkgo should also not be used by pregnant women or people with a blood clotting disorder.\n\nIf any side effects are experienced the dosage should be lowered immediately. Ginkgo supplements are usually taken in the range of 40-200 mg per day. If the side effects continue usage should be stopped completely.\n\nTinnitus:\n\nTreatment\nSome types of tinnitus can be treated while others are permanent. In general, there are no cures specific to tinnitus, but if it is caused by a physical condition that can be treated, the tinnitus may also resolve. Chronic tinnitus can be quite stressful psychologically as it distracts the affected individual from mental tasks and interferes with sleep, particularly when there is no external sound. The affected individual may have to generate artificial noise that masks the tinnitus sound. A combination of external masking and psychological counseling known as tinnitus retraining therapy is widely practiced. While it does not actually cure the tinnitus, many report that it becomes much less disturbing and easier to ignore.

Are gnostic beliefs considered cultist?

Gnostic means "to know", specifically "hidden knowledge". Paul dealt with gnostic belief often in his writings, like to the Ephesians. Which is why he wrote...\n\n"And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ"\n\nBasically, everything we NEED to know, we know NOW through the gospel of Christ. Anything "new" is adding to the gospel and is therefore cultic.

Is smoking marijuana any better than drinking alcohol, or smoking cigarettes?

It is far safer than drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco. Alcohol and tobacco are physically addictive, and both are lethal in high doses; marijuana is non-toxic and not physically addictive.\n\nThe biggest danger from marijuana is the legal threat.\n\nThere is no good reason for it to be illegal, none whatsoever.

what is the difference between combo drive & CD-ROM/DVD ?

A combo drive is capable of handling bith DVDs and CDs. If you see the letters -ROM, that means the drive can only be used to read disks. -R, -RW, or +RW mean that the drive is capable of writing to disks as well. It's possible to get a drive that is DVD-ROM/CD-RW, which means that it will read and write to CDs, but only read DVDs. Today though, a usable read/write drive that handles both CDs and DVDs can be had for under $40.

How did Transalvania get linked to Dramcula and Vampires?

Our current image of "Count Dracula" and vampires can trace its roots to the novel written by the Irish writer Bram Stoker. His book of course was fiction but it was loosely based on a real ruler from Transylvania (which is in modern-day Romania)named Vlad the Impaller. I think that the name Dracula comes from the Romanian language and means "Son of the Dragon" or "Son of the Devil". However, I don't think that that was ever Vlad's name. The ruler named Vlad had little to do with the novelist's vampire except that he had a reputation for cruelty (he was called "The Impaller" because he reputedly killed his enemies by impalling them on stakes).

what are the sexual benefits of circumcision?

There are several:\n\n1 Many older men, who have bladder or prostate gland problems, also develop difficulties with their foreskins due to their surgeon's handling, cleaning, and using instruments. Some of these patients will need circumcising. Afterwards it is often astonishing to find some who have never ever seen their glans (knob) exposed before!\n\n2 Some older men develop cancer of the penis - about 1 in 1000 - fairly rare, but tragic if you or your son are in that small statistic. Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection.\n\n3 Cancer of the cervix in women is due to the Human Papilloma Virus. It thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. An article in the British Medical Journal in April 2002 suggested that at least 20% of cancer of the cervix would be avoided if all men were circumcised. Surely that alone makes it worth doing?\n\n4 Protection against HIV and AIDS. Another British Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used - this applies also to preventing cancer of the cervix in women who have several partners.)\n\nA BBC television programme in November 2000 showed two Ugandan tribes across the valley from one another. One practised circumcision and had very little AIDS, whereas, it was common in the other tribe, who then also started circumcising. This programme showed how the infection thrived in the lining of the foreskin, making it much easier to pass on.\n\n5 As with HIV, so some protection exists against other sexually transmitted infections. Accordingly, if a condom splits or comes off, there is some protection for the couple. However, the only safe sex is to stick to one partner or abstain.\n\n6 Lots of men, and their partners, prefer the appearance of their penis after circumcision, It is odour-free, it feels cleaner, and they enjoy better sex. Awareness of a good body image is a very important factor in building self confidence. \n\n7 Balanitis is an unpleasant, often recurring, inflammation of the glans. It is quite common and can be prevented by circumcision.\n\n8 Urinary tract infections sometimes occur in babies and can be quite serious. Circumcision in infancy makes it 10 times less likely.

Why is it I can go East or West forever, but go only go so far North or South before changing direction?

In order to create any sort of system for describing movements around a sphere, you need to choose some fixed reference point somewhere. In the case of the standard system for describing movements on the surface of the Earth which you're talking about, the point that's been chosen is the North Pole (& its sister the South Pole). This creates north/south movement, which is movement towards either one of these places. East/west movement is a different sort of movement which can be described within the same framework-- movement along imaginary parallel lines placed perpendicular to the up-down orientation you're imagining. \n \nIt's all arbitrary. You could imagine a system where there's a direction-- let's call it Glork-- that leads directly to your house. If you go "all the way" Glork, you get to your house. If you go "all the way" Anti-Glork, you get to the point on th Earth which is directly opposite your house. And there are two directions of movement, analogous to east and west, where you move on around the planet on parallels perpendicular to Glork and Anti-Glork. Same deal. \n \nAs to the history of our particular convention on directions, it helps to understand that when it was invented most people didn't understand that the world is a sphere. So, to them, it was just the four functionally equivalent directions that you get on a 2d surface. \n \n<3
