why is it difficult for us to take criticisms? i'm only going to take the example of constructive and caring criticism in an attempt to view our own craziness regarding critics: if the ego has a problem sometimes accepting our own faults, all the more reason to have a problem with other people pointing at them. also the fact that all mortals care about what people think about them...yes, in different levels but i would dare to say that even in the smallest degree, everybody cares about what other people think of them. one example: have you noticed that even in the case in which a person is as free and careless as you can be, they make sure people know they don't care about their opinion? that's caring about what people think!!...(and "they should think and know that i don't care about them"). and finally, the fact that even if it comes from the best intentions and love, we may feel it in some way as invasive; we think that people don't notice our faults as much as we do, we know our selves better than anybody right? so when they tell us our faults is a proof that they know us too, sometimes even better than ourselves because their opinions don't come loaded with defensive mechanisms, is just observation. i personally like constructive criticism, is an opportunity to grow and learn if we allow it to be.... | 0 |

i have interstitial cystitis. how are others coping with it and/or being treated for it if at all? causes the cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown, though several theories have been put forward (these include autoimmune, neurologic, allergic and genetic). regardless of the origin, it is clear that ic patients struggle with a damaged mucin, aka the gag layer, aka bladdering lining. when this protective coating is damaged (perhaps via a uti, excessive consumption of coffees or sodas, traumatic injury, etc.), urinary chemicals can "leak" into surrounding tissues causing pain, inflammation and urinary symptoms. oral medications like elmiron and medications which are placed directly into the bladder via a catheter work to repair and hopefully rebuild this damaged/wounded lining, allowing for a reduction in symptoms. recent work by the university of maryland, baltimore indicates that genetics are a factor in, and may even (in some cases) be the cause of ic. two genes, fzd8 and pand, are associated with the syndrome. fzd8, at gene map locus 10p11.2, is assocated with an antiproliferative factor secreted by the bladders of ic patients which "profoundly inhibits bladder cell proliferation," thus causing the missing bladder lining. pand, at gene map locus 13q22-q32, is associated with a constellation of disorders (a "pleiotropic syndrome") including ic and other bladder and kidney problems, thyroid diseases, serious headaches/migraines, panic disorder, and mitral valve prolapse. [edit] symptoms it may well be that the symptoms of interstitial cystitis have multiple causes, and ic is actually several syndromes which will eventually be discerned. for example, patients with hunner's ulcers are believed to be the most advanced cases. they have larger "wounds" in the bladder that are much more difficult to treat. it is estimated that only 5 to 10% of patients have these ulcers. far more patients may experience a very mild form of ic, in which they have no visible wounds in their bladder, yet struggle with symptoms of frequency, urgency and/or pain. still other patients may have discomfort only in their urethra, while others struggle with pain in the entire pelvis. some patients may experience pelvic floor tightness and dysfunction, while others have normal muscle tone. often the symptoms of ic are misdiagnosed as a "common" bladder infection (cystitis), however unlike cystitis, ic has not been conclusively proven to be a bacterial infection and the mis-prescribed treatment of antibiotics is ineffective. the symptoms of ic may also initially be attributed to prostatitis and epididymitis (in men) and endometriosis and uterine fibroids (in women). [edit] diagnosis diagnosis has been greatly simplied in recent years with the development of two new methodologies. the pelvic pain urgency/frequency (puf) patient survey, created by c. lowell parsons, is a short questionnaire that will help doctors identify if pelvic pain could be coming from the bladder. the kcl test, aka the potassium sensitivity test, uses a mild potassium solution to test the integrity of the bladder wall. though the latter is not specific for ic, it has been determined to be helpful in predicting the use of compounds, such as pentosan, which are designed to help repair the gag layer. the previous "gold standard" test for ic was the use of hydrodistention with cystoscopy. researchers, however, determined that this visual examination of the bladder wall after stretching the bladder was also not specific for ic and that the test, itself, can contribute to the development of small glomerulations (aka petechial hemorrhages) often found in ic. thus, a diagnosis of ic is one of exclusion, as well as a review of clinical symptoms. [edit] treatment [edit] diet the foundation of therapy is a modification of diet to help patients avoid those foods which can will further irritate the damaged bladder wall. common offenders include coffees, teas, herbal teas, green teas, all sodas (particularly die | 2 |

what is your favourite, most effective revision technique? i am revising for my a2 exams, and just wondered if anyone had any revision methods outside of just re-reading notes, which is what i have been doing up to now though it just doesn't feel like i'm taking it in. any ideas appreciated. thanks. (and i know that spending time on answers will not help me, but you've got to take breaks). i normally write things down and that way i take it in better, even if i'm just copying out. if you have past papers for the exam you should write out the answers for them and learn them. this will give you confidence that you can do some of the questions that came up previously. and - good luck! | 3 |

if you have a personal website, have you downloaded a counter, tracker, or both to the site? and if you have a tracker, what can you track from the average visitor? for instance, where they came from, what they clicked or where they left to? just wondering. thanks for the help. :d hit counters are a sure sign of an amateur website and are completely meaningless. look at any of the large professional sites, not one hit counter to be found. use server log analyzer software such as mach5 analyzer or web trends.easy to install on either your server or your own pd, more professional, no spyware (why do you think those "free" counters are free?)and a lot more information on who your visitors are, where they come from and what they do on your site as well as where they go. also you can get info on where they are located, what os and browser they use and other very useful information. | 4 |
yep, i slept with him. did it kill interest? is he blowing me off? short story- second date after a few good conversations. we had a great date, wonderful conversation and we clicked like crazy. he set up a third date with me after i had slept with him. the next day, he cancelled it. i asked him if he felt differently and to just tell me, i like directness. he told me no, he wanted to go out again many more times and that he felt the same as he did before. but, he did break that date and it's been two days since that conversation and i haven't gotten any calls or emails from him since. yeah, i know, two days isn't long, but i hated that he broke our date and then didn't set up anything else. just 'i'll call.' we're not kids either. i would hope this kind of thing wouldn't happen at this age. oh well.. am i obsessing over something stupid, or have i been blown off? sounds to me like he wants the steak dinner without having to pay the tab. (looks as though he got it too) don't look for him to be making reservations at this restaurant when there are no lines elsewhere. | 8 |
i lied in visa interview about my marital status? two years back, during my h1 interview in us consulate (delhi), i shown myself 'unmarried'. actually, i was married three days before. i done this to ease my h1 visa. after getting my h1 visa approved, i managed to get another marriage certificate of post interview date. my question is: if someone inform embassy about my intentional mistake, can they cancel my visa? will there be any effect on my green card? can i myself admit the error and represent the embassy to avoid future problems? please guide me. i really don't know one way or the other. my suggestion would be to contact an attorney who knows about immigration law to find out one way or the other. my other suggestion would be honesty is the best policy & to call the immigration office nearest to you or see if there any thing on the government web site to help you. it would look better if you let them know yourself verse them findung out from a third party. if they found out from a third party it might look like you have something else to hide. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis just remember if you do call immigration it could affect every thing you have here. you have to decide for yourself what you are going to do. | 9 |

can you give me info on how to become a forest or park ranger.? forest service employees are caring for the land and serving people in five primary areas of activity: we protect and manage natural resources on national forest system lands. we initiate and perform research in forestry, rangeland and watershed management, fish and wildlife conservation, social sciences, and forest resource utilization. we provide community assistance and we cooperate with state and local government agencies, businesses, and private landowners to help protect and manage non-federal forest and associated range and watershed lands. we work in partnership with many public agencies and private sector entities to improve conditions in wildland/urban interfaces and rural areas, and to prevent and fight wildfires. we contribute international assistance in formulating policy and coordinating u.s. support for the protection and sound management of forest resources throughout the world. we operate 18 residential civilian conservation corps centers (better known as job corps centers) where we teach young adults basic and occupational skills. hundreds of occupations nationwide over 30,000 people who make up the forest service workforce work in some of the most scenic and inspiring areas of our nation. while most work mainly outdoors in national forests and grasslands, many perform their professional duties in offices and research laboratories nationwide. if you choose to join the forest service team, you will probably be engaged in one of these primary areas: the national forest system (nfs) state and private forestry (s&pf ) and fire research and development operations (also known as administration) programs and legislation other key programs international forestry international institute of tropical forestry job corps program law enforcement public affairs the national forest system (nfs) either directly or indirectly, most forest service employees share in the management, protection, and use of the nation's 191 million acres of nfs lands that make up almost two-thirds of the nation's federally owned lands. our employees share in a wide variety of employment opportunities in forests, soils, air, water, range, wildlife, fish, wood, recreation, minerals, wilderness, lands, and operations. the nfs has 9 regional offices, 116 forest headquarters (called forest supervisor offices), and approximately 570 ranger districts or grasslands. basically, each district ranger reports to a forest supervisor who reports to a regional forester who reports to a deputy chief in washington, dc. most regions have 10 to 15 forest supervisor offices, and most forests have 4 to 10 ranger districts or grasslands. approximately 85 percent of fs employees work in the nfs. state and private forestry (s&pf ) and fire most s&pf employees do not work at nfs sites, but many do. s&pf works in partnerships with individuals who own forest land and with state foresters to ensure effective protection and management of the over 700 million acres of u.s. forest land outside the boundaries of the national forests. the forest service delivers technical and financial assistance to serve the needs of the entire forestry community. due to the amount of s&pf coordination required, the fire prevention, forest beautification, and forest health protection (insect and disease control) programs are in state and private forestry. we also have many additional cooperative forestry programs working in areas such as forest planning, urban forestry, rural development, and the harvesting, processing, and marketing of wood products. the forest service fire program is a part of the s&pf area because we coordinate with other organizations and also fight fires on non-nfs lands. most forest service employees who fight fires have a primary responsibility other than fire. they may be clerks, foresters, wildlife biologists, computer specialists, or contract specialists, but after becoming trained and certified to fight fires t | 3 |
if the republican party are the party of values why do there policy's benefit the rich and not the poor? the truth is that they believe it will eventually help everybody (trickle down economics). if the rich pay less taxes, they have more money to better their businesses or make more businesses, thus creating more jobs. unfortunately it doesn't work because the rich "generally" are selfish and may make more jobs but refuse to pay a decent wage for any of them unless absolutely forced to (something most republicans are loathe to do because then they lose the votes of the rich). | 9 |
who is faster? dash from the incredibles or flash of marvel comics? the flash, from dc comics is faster, not becauise of size or anything like that. he simply has the ability to tap into something the dc universe calls the speed force. which allows him to transcend time and space. he routinely suprises his girlfriend with dinner in paris, where he can run in amazing periods of time. whereas dash is simply too young to have a good graps on his powers. he didn't even know he could run on water, but the flash has experience and the convenience of being written into a universe where the speed force exists. | 7 |

2007 motogp world champ. who you got? let's face it, there is only 5 in the running. rossi, hayden, capparossi, pedrosa & melandri. so what do you think? my 2 pennys worth.............. rossi 46 ! well rossi didn't do very good this year, he wasn't as constant and ended up losing the championship, so they (yamaha team) and vale will have to work harder during this winter, if everything goes well for them, he can easily become the new champ again, no doubt in my mind, vale is a living legend already, capirossi and his desmosedici did pretty good, lets see what the ducati team has to offer on the 800cc, as a matter of fact ducati was the first 800cc prototype to be ready for 2007, but don't think capirex can win a championship over the doctor, pedrosa is still adjusting to moto gp, he has guts, but imho lacks a bit of professionalism courtesy of alberto puig, dani should enjoy racing a bit more, he had a lot of pressure this year as a rookie and hrc honda is the toughest team to work with, but dani's advantage is his height and weight, hayden could struggle on the 800cc..melandri has advantages his height, weight if he keeps it down, he has courage, experience, learned a lot from vale, he's a great pilot and when his bike is working 100% he usually does great..so he also stands a chance..lets wait and see the come back of the doctor..despite all it has been an interesting season, next year will be something totally different...go 46 cheers | 5 |

helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? i'm so tierd of every thing i can't carry on any more it's just awful i can't see why people keep gossiping about me i can't stand being this lonley being an iranian living on this damn cursed world it's just a big big hell i've even thought of killing my self but i think i've got a lot to do here what could i do? and i don't like consulors! get busy girlfriend!!! i am talking get involved in anything. turn your negative energy to positive. suicide is not the answer. you were put here for a reason. without you, your task cannot be completed and that could involve affecting a lot of people you have not even met yet. counseling should be an option if you are really serious about wanting help. i have lost family to suicide and its so painful for the ones you leave behind. i can't help my brother who left this world in 2001, but if i had a second chance this is what i would tell him. "i know it seems you were dealt a bad hand in life. but "we" can get threw this, together. let me help you, you are not alone. i know you think leaving this world is the answer and the people around you would be better off. that is so far from how it is. you have a very important role here and you can't leave yet. we love you and care about you more than we tell you and for that we are wrong. leaving is only permitting the ones you love to cop out when things get bad with them. please don't leave that message for your family or friends. lean on me and never, ever give up." | 6 |

has anyone downloaded smiley central? i was wondering if smiley central was ok to download or does it infect your computer with viruses. someone told me not to download it because mywebsearch downloads with it and that mywebsearch has viruses or ad-ware. does anyone know if it's safe or not? i have, once, on my old computer. the thing was so broken. i'm not sure if smiley central caused this or not, but it sure didn't help the accursed thing. anyway, smiley central is apparently made by ask jeeves, an older web search service which i have no problem with. smiley central also has some user-created smileys. some of these have been said to be viruses. my advice is to not download it at all. | 4 |

which country will be the strongest super power in 10 years?? this question should include the consideration in the ability of economic , resources, education, finance , technology and weapons. the term superpower is a political one. power comes in many forms. now, the battle rages in the economic world. america is a superpower in that world, and will remain one beyond ten years from now. europe will become an economic superpower, as will china and maybe russia, if it can stabilize its political and judicial systems and overcome the current level of corruption and economic depression. india, brazil,and the "union of south american nations" might be superpowers in the next 50 years. the status of 'superpower' will be lost by the usa in the next 50 years as the loss of fundamental natural supports begin to take effect. these natural supports and the hard work of the american people have lifted america to its present position. when they come to an end, america will lose the strength that has led it thus far. these fundamental supports are: 1. agricultural productivity. this fundamental support is using up the supplies of ground water that accumulated since the last melt of the ice age. this water is only replaced by rain and snow fall. but the water is being taken out of the ground faster than nature can replace it. when it is gone, a new 'dust bowl' will occur in the most productive heartland of america. farmers will abandon the land and seek employment elsewhere. a new depression will occur and the economy will collapse. 2. natural resources. the use and over-use of natural resources now extends into the arctic circle. at some point there will not be enough left to feed the mass market. the rate of consumption will fall since there will be fewer products to buy. prices will rise since companies will try to maintain their workforce at current levels. but increases in productivity will not be possible since there will be shortages of key natural materials such as copper. 3. the education system will continue to improve. the spectrum of education systems now ranges to chaotic inner city disaster areas, to outstanding, brilliant educational systems. one of the events will force america to realize that education is the only answer to the problems of the future and real money will be poured into education. personalized education might become a real possibility, enabling students to become the best they can be, not just the best that the society needs. 4. the us dollar will continue to be the world's strongest currency, because most of the world wants it to be. the problems re this question is that too many dollars will be held by groups of corporations outside of america. they will buy up as much of the real estate in america as they can. they will become more and more powerful, and outside the control of american internal laws. this will blur what america is and what it means to be an american. the international corporations will become more and more powerful politically. 5. in finance, the power will shift to international banking alliances without patriotic ties to america. their goal will be to make money and if that means america will be poorer for it, they won't care. they won't care if any country is hurt by their policies as long as they make money. 6. in technology, short sighted american corporations will export technology to china in hopes of increasing profits. corporations in china, many of which are half owned by the chinese government, will share technology freely - against the intellectual property rights of the patent holders - and the overall growth of chinese technology will surpass that of the us. china will land men on the moon. america will probably give up any hope of landing men on mars. the exploration of outer space will be left to robots. america will not be the only nation sending robots to titan's moons and the asteroids in hopes of finding a vast wealth of natural resources there. 7. the value that america attaches to each soldier's life will remain high. in order to provide us soldiers with the best weapons, the r&d into weapon technolog | 9 |
what is oxygen deficiet and oxygen debt? explain it.? medical physiology oxygen deficiet is where there is little amount of oxygen in the blood! it is also called hypoxia. it can occur for so many several causes such as impaired breathing or co poisoning or so on. oxygen debt is a state of continuous increased breathing even after you stopped an exercise! during exercise your body uses all the oxygen that was stored in the myoglobin of the muscle. during exercise there is increased breathing to compensate the metabolic requirements. after you suddenly stop the exercise your breathing still high for some time then it decrease to normal.. this continuous high breathing is due to oxygen debt.. the body try to get the oxygen which it has taken for the myoglobin back! | 1 |

whats the best way to treat a cold? a "cold" is usually a viral infection. these take about 3-5 days to be recovered from. the best way to help your immune system get the job done is to have lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, especially water and just take care of yourself by not exposing yourself to other sick people so you don't get a second infection at the same time... which can and does happen often. | 2 |
is there anyone out there who can lead me in the direction of a few break up or destroy relationship spells? i have several white magick spells, but find that every once in a while black magick works well. any good web sites out there? personal works you wouldn't mind sharing (i would tweak them to suit my purpose of course). i need a starting point, can anyone help? try looking in your local book store though you may not be able to afford to buy them you can read through them to find what ou are looking for and not have to worry about others giving you the wrong info and causing more harm than good for you.not saying anyone would but none of us here know what it is you need to fit your needs and it would be bad judgment for anyone to truely give you any type of advice on what you have said so far with out understanding the full situation your in.just remember if it harms none then so mote it be but if you plan ill will or such be ready to deal with the return. | 0 |

any opinions on gen. anesthesia or oral sedation when extracting teeth on a 3 year old? my son is almost 4 and earlier this year he had several crowns put on his teeth. he was completely traumatized by this, and we were not happy with some of the dental procedures used in this office. we have found a pediatric dentist who seems just great, but my son is still so afraid. we found out today that 4 of the teeth need to be removed and a spacer put in, he also has 2 other cavities that need to be filled. we have the choice of general anesthesia or oral sedative.i just want this to be as easy as possible for my son, he's dealt with so much already. any suggestions? please go for the ga. that's a lot of work for any child, and your son needs to have his confidence boosted dramatically. i wouldn't extract 4 baby teeth with oral sedative - it's just not enough for your child's needs, and any oral medication can be a bit unreliable. the ga is well woth the money. once he's fixed up under ga, then he shouldn't need any further work for a long time (hopefully never), and if he goes for regular check-ups, then you might do some simpler procedures under oral sedation. naturally i hope the paedodontist will explore the reasons for this situation, so that you can give him a better outlook in the future. my guess is a diet of high sugar drinks. encourage water. it would be terrible if he had to go thru this again as an adult. perhaps consult a dietitian - they can be very good at analysing his diet and making helpful suggestions. | 2 |

whats the deal with the farepak hamper bankruptcy? why are the government and various big companies giving compensation to the customers of a private company?? fair enough its christmas and everything but companies go bankrupt every day. why should farepak customers get special treatment whilst customers of other companies are left on thier own? discuss.... i absolutely agree with your point. i owe no-one anything. i make my own arrangements for christmas. i am a pensioner. i am financially secure. i do not drink and i do not gamble. i am therefore better off as a result. i pay taxes on everything. i see no reason whatsoever why i, through taxes, should reimburse those who lost money in the venture. make the company directors and shareholders (if any) liable for the debts. that is the problem with this country, too many hangers-on and do-gooders...... ............... | 6 |
which credit card is the best for someone to get started establishing credit.? without to many hidden fees. none of them. you do not need a credit card for any reason. not even for a home loan. home loans can be underwritten. see a good mortgage broker and they can do it without a credit rating. if your heart is set on obtaining one, become a member of a local credit union. they tend to have the best, basic forms of credit cards. if you go this route, do not set your credit limit above $500. why? temptation, procrastination, etc. things happen. i recommend using cash. debit cards too. there is virtually nothing that you can buy without a debit card. the protections that consumers have with credit cards also applies to debit cards. it's federal law. i have 2 credit cards. i don't use them. i am letting one expire on purpose... lack of use. i will keep one because i travel extensively, and since i wear out my debit card quite regularly, i do need one. i am debt-free, except for my house and my wife's car. it's a great way to live and be wealthy. | 6 |

usa veto un resolution against israel for its massacres in gaza!!then usa deserve anything hapennes to them? if usa uses its veto to block any un resolution against the coward israeli for their massacres & terrorism in palastine ,that means that us is a partner with the bloody israelies in their crime, dont u think that americans r putting themself in a position that they could be targeted for revenge? if u protect a criminial then u r a partner in the crime . and why usa uses its veto everytime all the world agree on punishing israel for its crimes against humanity ,but when palastinian revenge by any mean usa is the first to punish them,call them terrorists and call all the world to punish them???is that fair i heared a lot of voices in the media calling for revenge from usa for its cover for israel in its crimes against humanity, usa only cares about keeping the israelies happy,and they r ready to put american citizens & interest in danger for this reason,but do u think the american ppl r ready to risk their lives & interests for israel to be happy and get away with their crimes? israel is the biggest american problem. there is no simple answer to the israeli problem both political parties are manged by the israeli lobby. the israeli lobby is the most power full lobby in washington. the lobby can make or brake any candidates to congress who want to be an enemy of the lobby or vote against lobby bills. read what sharon told paras on a debate on israeli radio"every time we do something you tell me america will do this and will do that . . . i want to tell you something very clear: don't worry about american pressure on israel. we, the jewish people, control america, and the americans know it." -- ariel sharon to shimon peres, october 3rd, 2001, as reported on kol yisrael | 9 |

specify the domain for (f/g)(x) f(x) = x^2 - 3x +2 g(x) = x^2 - 5x +4? the denominator cannot be 0. (f/g)(x) = (x^2 - 3x +2)/(x^2 - 5x +4) even though this simplifies to (x-2)/(x-4), you have to find the domain before you simplify. set g(x) = 0 and solve for x x^2 - 5x +4 = 0 (x-1)(x-4) = 0 means x=1 or x=4 thus the domain of f/g is all real numbers except 1 and 4. | 1 |

what is the difference between and estate sale and a yard/garage sale? other than an estate sale is someone has died. is the pricing expected to be higher at an estate sale? estate and garage sales are usually priced about the same, mostly pretty good, occasionally priced too high. usually i have gotten my best deals at "moving sales". lots of times ppl haveperfectly good things for sale, and are moving somewhere where they don't have room to take them. at an estate sale, because you have the items that an older person accumulated over a lifetime, lots of times there are more antique and collectibles at an estate sale. sometimes you can get some really nice things that way reasonably. also you can get lots of household items that you might need if you are just starting out. the only time i have found estate sales to be pricy is if they have an antiques dealer or some other sort of professionals run it. i usually avoid those, because they tend to be overpriced. i hope this helps, and "happy sale-ing"! :-) | 0 |
