hello dos eaney bodey know fo a alternative releaf for lupus sufferes thanks genuing question? massage therapy has been proven to be an efffective alternative relief for lupus people suffering from lupus. massage is believed to be beneficial effects in several ways. besides being physically and emotionally relaxing, massage improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces nerve irritation and brings fresh oxygen and other nutrients to the affected tissues. massage may also cause the body to produce fewer stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine (formerly adrenalin), and may also increase the body's production of pain-killing endorphins and the mood-altering hormone serotonin. while seeing a professional massage therapist is relatively expensive, a friend or family member may be able to learn enough technique from a book or video to provide some relief for you.

why did the u.s. stop sending people to the moon? did we just lose interest or did we find all we needed to find there. yes. i believe the original idea was to build a rocket base from which to explore the solar system. but somebody realised the same thing could be done from earth via an orbiting space station for a fraction of the cost. the only other reasons for going to the moon were - 1. to stop the russians setting up a military base there. 2. to collect moon rocks. when the us realised that a russian moon base wasn't practical, and they had souvenired as many moon rocks as they were ever likely to need, they never bothered to go back.

how do beta blocking hypertension meds work and explain the meaning of beta in this situation.? there are at least 3 types of beta receptors in the body - beta 1, 2, and 3 - and they are sensitive to epinephrine and norepinephrine. beta 1 controls heart rate and force of contraction in the heart (an increase in these will increase blood pressure, thus blocking them will lower blood pressure). beta 2 controls smooth muscle many places in the body. beta 3 receptors have less well defined role in fat metabolism. the late american scientist raymond ahlqvist suggested already in 1948 that opposite effects of catecholamines were mediated by different receptors in the target organs, which he called alpha- and beta-receptors. http://nobelprize.org/medicine/laureates/1988/press.html

what do you think of the u.s.'s economy? us is recognized for its economic might all over the world. however, after the recent 'weapons of mass destruction' propoganda and invasion on iraq, it has lost its images in the eyes of the intenational community, making its economy facing serious challenges. this down-trowding started after 911 and seems to have continued after wards. another point is that if us economy gets disturbed, the global economy does recieve the after shocks soon. i hope the situation improves soon.

what does fundamentalism mean? oftentimes, we mean "an organized, militant evangelical movement originating in the united states in the late 19th and early 20th century in opposition to protestant liberalism and secularism, insisting on the inerrancy of scripture." but the concept of fundamentalism can be extended to any ideology or theology whose tenents include a strict adherance to a code, especially one which demands the observance by persons who do not subscribe to that code. naturally, this makes for a source of conflict. and an understandable one at that. for example, say you believe some act is wrong. furthermore, you believe you have a duty to prevent wrongdoing altogether. consequently, you have a moral obligation to prevent any person from doing that act - including people who do not think that act is wrong. any critical examination of a dogmatic theology or ideology will reveal how necessary this is, yet any objective look at disparate cultures will reveal how subjective - and frightening - this can be. the hope of the future is that fundamentalist evangelism will be enacted by appeal to reason rather than dictates of law. ideally, people would choose to perform 'right' acts for their own sake, rather than out of fear of punishment.

will the texas rangers ever entice good pitchers, given that their ballpark is hitter friendly? since the move to the ballpark at arlington, the rangers have had pitchers selected to attend the all-star game, which suggests it's not a question of pitchers' willingness to play there, but greater concerns about contracts or the future of the franchise. kenny rogers, jeff zimmerman, aaron sele, roger pavlik, and john wetteland were all excellent all-star selections in spite of the "hitter friendly" park. it's more about the team and management that keeps pitchers away, and less about the stadium.

whats the difference between gas operated and blowback operated guns?? a gas-operated firearm operates on a similar principle of a car engine. when a round is fired, expanding gases propel the bullet out of the barrel, along with most of the gas. but a small portion of the gas is siphoned off into a seperate gas tube either above or below the barrel and forces a piston backwards, which in turn pushes back the bolt carrier, ejects the spent brass, and is pushed forward again by a recoil spring, stripping a fresh round out of the magazine and pushes it into the chamber to be fired. a blowback- operated firearm is comparatively simple. when a round is fired in a blowback-operated firearm, the bolt is forced back by the recoil energy of the spent brass itself, eliminating the need for a piston. the downiside to the simpler design is increased recoil, since not all of the expanding gases in a gas-operated firearm actually exit the barrel, there is less gas pushing the muzzle up and back. the blowback system is often found on smaller weapons, such as pistols and sub-machine guns, because it is simpler and requires fewer parts, which allows a weapon to be small and lightweight.

using css, how would i make an image glued to the bottom of the browser and centered? well? there is no way to do this in css, however, you can write a javascript that does something like x.style.position = "absolute"; //sets x's positioning to absolute x.style.top = document.innerheight - 100; //sets x's y position to the exact height of the browser, replace 100 with the actual height of the image the said tag would have to have name="x" and id="x" specified. i have not attempted to execute the above script, it's just an example of what you could try, but you're going to have to do some research to make it compatible with multiple browsers, and have it automatically execute the script if the user resizes their window. alternatively, put the whole site inside a table, and have an extra table row hold the image below the rest of the document.

why do clouds turn dark when its about to rain? a cloud compsition is primarlly just billions of drops of water or ice. when such a cloud formation has an influx of water/ice, ie it's mass increases to include more water/ice, light finds it hard to pass through the mass, thus making it darker for us to see. in a normal cloud, light can pass through the water/ice within the cloud and we see it as a distorted white/bluish/greyish/greenish hue. but when the cloud is too thick with water/ice, the light doesn't pass through so easily and we see a darker spectrum.

why old people always are complaining ? like my grandma for example: "i dont like this ice cream is not tasty" when the ice cream was really good. well, if you think about having illnesses and always being worried about health, older people might always want to pester people to let go of all the emotions bottled up inside of them. they have different points of views, like your example about the ice cream. so if you feel like you have a major problem with them, then try to put yourself in their shoes.

what is inferred reality and class inclusion? inferred reality is defined as the meaning of stimuli in the context of relevant information. "inclusion" is a term used by educators to describe a philosophical approach to the education of children with disabilities. this philosophical paradigm maintains that a child with disabilities -- even severe disabilities such as profound mental retardation -- should be placed in a regular classroom for most or all of the school day (ayres & meyer, 1992; cloud, 1992; conn, 1992; shanker, 1993; wolak, york, & corbin, 1992). drawing from the legacy of the civil rights movement, advocates of full inclusion for children with disabilities state that "inclusion is the ultimate goal for all children with disabilities regardless of their disabilities or current placement" (new york state education department, cited in shanker, 1993). this is not without controversy. among the most vocal opponents are those in the deaf community, who feel that their culture and language are at stake (cohen, 1994) and the learning disabilities association of america, which believes that mandatory full inclusion policies violate federal law ("full inclusion," undated).

i want to become christian? i was raised with absolutely no religion, and have a hard time accepting christianity. i want to beleive it. what can i do? over the past couple of years, i made many friends from china - most of whom are raised with no religion. and they're all great and wonderful individuals who don't seem to lack anything. i have had at times to explain certain things about the christian religion to them, which is the dominant religion in the western world, and its practice can raise questions to the uninitiated. if you seek spirituality, you should not limit your self to exploring one religion. why do you dismiss buddhism, taoism etc? you should read about everything, speak to ministers and allow your self to form an opinion. my advice is, to not let anyone convert you into something by sweet talking you, or promising the kingdom of god. learn, and let it be your choice. if i were in your shoes, i would try to get all the facts and then decide on my own. meet religious people and ask them how they practice religion and what it means to them. your safest choice not to be tricked into a cult etc would be to go for a well established and long standing dogma or denomination. in christianity, since that is your question, the major two denominations are catholic and orthodox, which both came after a separation of the church between west (catholic) and east (orthodox). you can learn more on different religions by following the links below. i know in china most christians are unitarian, since in 1949 the government forced denominations to form one single church or leave china. remember learn before you act, and don't let anyone influence you. my opinion is that once you decide on something you should stick by it. should you make the conscious choice to have faith in a religion. so being absolutely certain is essential. changing religions in the manner you'd change shirts is not ideal. because then faith - which is the most important element in every religion - never gets too strong to mean anything in your life. whatever choice you make - good luck to you!

is yahoo or google a better resource for research? what is another good resource for academic research? thanks. my answer is google for the following reasons: pros of google: as a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that i find easy to decide what pages are best for me. its the best in terms of researching information. for makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. yahoo! blocks the top of the serps with sponsored ads. google also has a neat interface. yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. the reason for that being it to be a portal. i think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so. the relevance of search results make its 'feeling lucky' feature pretty useful. firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results. google has tried to stay away from spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines. cons of google: however, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from pdf files stored on net, a feature which yahoo provides. also, google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which altavista provided since 1999. the problems include accuracy of the media file. that is the reason for providing google videos where users have to submit videos. due to a larger share of 'searching' community, google has been targeted by bloggers by planting google bombs. because most bloggers mention the word failure with president bush's name, the #1 site on searching failure is the website of president bush. yahoo is doing pretty good research in search technologies, for example grokker. http://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=anirudh%20koul&yahoo=true&daypop=true&numresults=250

tell me more about hannuka? hanukkah, the festival of lights, is one of the most joyous times of the jewish year. the reason for the celebration is twofold (both dating back to c. 165 bce): the miraculous military victory of the small, ill-equipped jewish army over the ruling greek syrians, who had banned the jewish religion and desecrated the temple; and the miracle of the small cruse of consecrated oil, which burned for eight days in the temple's menorah instead of just one. hanukkah is celebrated by: a. lighting a menorah for eight nights with olive oil or wax candles; one on the first night and an additional one each succeeding night b. eating food fried in oil, especially potato pancakes (latkes) and jelly doughnuts (sufganiyot) c. playing with a dreidel, a four-sided top; the player wins or loses money depending on which side it lands on (each is marked with a different hebrew letter) in 1997, a 60-foot, 18-ton menorah was built in latrun, israel; a rabbi was lifted by crane each night to kindle the lights. the same year, a 12-foot pyramid of 2,400 jelly doughnuts was built near afula, israel; the pastries were later distributed to soldiers serving near the northern border. hanukkah began this year (2005) on the evening of december 25. see poster: http://www.allposters.com/-sp/menorah-w-toys-candy-and-gifts-in-background-posters_i1459268_.htm

non posix-compatible c functions? what are posix non-compatible functions in c? you can think of posix as a runtime standard for c, but for many reasons, some language/operating system providers decide to either not provide a determined function, change its parameters, its name or some criterion on how to handle the request. if a certain operating system does support the full set of posix operations with the standard names, parameters and criteria, then they may certify that with ieee. that allows you to create a c program and, as long as you use only posix functions, it's bound to work correctly on any posix-conformant system. hope it helped! ignacio.--

can the electorial college override the majority of the vote? if so, why? yes. it is possible for the winner of an election to get as little as 39% of the vote, and carry the electoral college. this happens when the winner wins by only a handful of votes in states he or she wins, and losing completely in all other states. this is caused by the lack of proportional voting in states. a states electoral votes, with exceptions of maine and nebraska, either go all to one candidate or the other. if half the state votes one way, and half the other, the smaller half is effectively not counted. with proportional voting, or district-level voting, this remains true, but it can only affect one vote per state, and is as likely to fall one way as the other. i hope this answered your question.

adding a tivo to a wireless network? i have tried the recommended usb wireless adapter on the tivo but it doesn't find it when i go to set everything up on the tivo(the wireless adapter worked fine when i used it on my computer). does anyone have a tivo sucessfully setup this way? which adapter are you using? i successfully used a belkin f5d6050 2.4 ghz 802.11b wireless usb adapter with tivo. make sure your ssid and wep encryption key match your wireless router. if that still doesn't work, try connecting the wireless adapter to a laptop in the same location as your tivo to make sure you actually have a signal. if that doesn't work, or if you get fed up with cordless phones knocking you off (like me), consider a pair of powerline ethernet bridges and a usb-to-ethernet adapter for the tivo (see www.tivo.com/adapters for compatibility).

how is the riaa catching individuals downloading pirated music? how are they getting these people they are suing? are they tracking ips, are they watching torrents, p2p, how are they doing it? the short answer is, yes, of course they are tracking ips. the long answer to your other question follows. it is a straight-forward, multistep process. 1. encourage laws that require internet service and server providers to log ip addresses (9/11 pretty much nailed that one for them). 2. collect proof of misdeeds for each particular p2p service that is allowing illegal file copying. 3. sue the p2p service and demand they hand over ip addresses of offending users. 4. trace ip addresses back to users. remember, the businesses involved all have to keep records. also, some programs embed identifying information in them. pretty much any microsoft program, at least one that uses ole structured storage, creates these huge id numbers in them called a guid for each item in the file. part of that id number is their ip address or the unique hardware id of their interface card, i forget which. also, the encoding process which generates an mp3 file from a cd can store some information in the file which can be used to piece together who created it. it may not be enough to find who did it but it is probably helpful in proving a given computer did it once they have that computer. there is probably more going on but you get the idea. at each point along the way, from creating the song file, to transfering it to a service, and downloading it from a service, bits of information are accumulating. the more times a person does each of these things, the easier it is to find them, prove it is them, and notice that they are doing a lot. and, just as important, more evidence is accumulating which is used in court as proof of a crime being committed and intent to commit a crime on the part of the peope being sued by the riaa - or whoever. so, either listen to: music you buy, public domain music, music from the radio - or compose/play your own. you probably don't like it when you found out someone copied off your test at school. it makes them get a higher grade than they deserve and if the test is graded on a curve, your a- work can wind up being counted as a b+. well, songwriters composed that music and/or lyrics, musicians practiced and learned to play that song and paid to use a recording studio to perform it in. when people don't pay to hear that play, the musicians still have their expenses to pay but no royalty check to pay for it. they lose money doing what they love. even if someone cannot afford a whole album they can still afford to buy their favorite song for 99 cents.

does a root canal treatment pose a potential health threat? i've heard conflicting opinions. what is your personal experience? i had a root canal two years ago, and practically drove myself insane worrying about the potential health impact of it down the road. other than the first few days, i've never had any significant pain or discomfort. i've come to the realization that since i'm only in my early 30's, i'd rather take the risk with a root canal and keep my tooth, rather than have it yanked and either be toothless or pay a lot of money for other options that would still involve putting foreign substances in my mouth. so, i guess my recommendation regarding root canals would be that if you are a healthy person, with a good immune system, a root canal would probably be a good option, rather than losing your tooth. but, i do believe they could impact your health, and the decision should be an informed one.
