Questions About How To Jump Start A Car Without A Battery

Jenny asks…

1993 300gt will not start without jump are new battery?

1993 3000Gt battery died (What can it be)?
I have a 1993 3000Gt that i bought about a month ago. I dont know how old the battery was, but it was driving good for about 28 days then the battery died. When I get a jump the car work perfect till i cut it off & try to cut it back on. Some said it could be the battery, alternator, are wires. I took the battery to NAPA to get it charged & they said it was complete dead & could not be charged. I dont kno if this would help but bfore i had any problems i cut the antena off (bein stupid). If anyone can help me please worst case its the Alternator becouse that cost $600 for that car for labor. Best case its the battery only about a $60 dollar problem.

admin answers:

Make sure battery cables are connected well. If problem persists, get a new battery. Battery can fail any time.

David asks…

can i jump-start a car without opening the hood?

technical question. situation:
i work as person who looks over property, and i spending majority time in the parking lot in my 07 f-150 5.4triton, i had installed 1100 cranking- amps battery and hardwired 17-amp 2000 watt inverter.
currently i running my laptop of of it,(in my previous job i had my vehicle running often and for period of time, where now im not)
every morning i have to jump-start my truck.
is there any way to jumpstart it from + wire i ran into interior for inverter? will it damage computer?
how long those 1100 c-amps last for 90watt laptop?
and is it reasonable to install second battery with a switch just to jumpstart it?

admin answers:

Car batteries do not like to be discharged completely, this shortens their life and capacity. If you had to jump start your car several times your 1100 cold cranking amp battery is likely much below that number now. You need a second deep cycle battery which you can run the laptop from, you also don't need a 2000 watt inverter, you can run your laptop from the smallest inverter you can find. A deep cycle battery could power your laptop for at least a day or two.

John asks…

How do you jumpstart a car without jumper cables?

I found out recently that my car battery is totally dead, I need to jump start the car but I don't have jumper cables, a way to get to the auto stores or someone to jump start it for me. Are there any ways to re-charge the battery?
It's not a stick-shift

admin answers:

If you're on a down hill slope, you can try to jump start it that way. Otherwise you have to have someone push it for you to jump start it. Also, if its a Toyota, and i'm not sure about other makes, but leaving the car completely turned off for a while will allow the battery to charge itself. And for future advice: Get jumper cables! If you're anything like me, remembering to turn off fog lights just doesn't happen. Good luck!

Linda asks…

car stereo draining car battery while running?

i have an aftermarket stereo in my car and when i turn up the volume it makes the battery gauge drop and the lights dim when the bass hits which eventually lead up to me not being able to start my car without being jumped then to where i had to change my battery and disconnect my stereo from the battery before it starts now. my stereo is made up of an alpine 9887 deck, mtx thunder elite 1004 powering mtx thunder 6.1 high end components and alpine type r 6x9s, and an mtx thunder elite 1501d powering a single mtx thunder 9500 12". the stereo is run through a 2 farad capacitor with streetwires and was installed by my brother in-law whos been installing car stereos since he was 17 now in his 30s. does anyone know whats going on and how i can fix it?

admin answers:

To me, it seems like you have a bad alternator. You can get that checked for free at auto stores. I would recommend getting an ho alternator if the its bad. If you get a new alternator make sure it works the way it suppose too becuase not all are built equal. That will take care of the dimming lights. If you decide to go with a stock alternator then get he kenitk hc800 and toss the cap. This will take care of the dimming lights and high voltage drops. You'll also notice a big increase in spl. I know becuase I push the exact wattage and I have similar experience.

Ruth asks…

Jumping a car battery?

Someone left the headlights on in my car for four hours (1999 ford taurus), now it won't start but the battery isn't totally dead (internal lights come on, the engine starts to turn over). The battery is only a few months old.

I'm going to jump it later today-- after that I need to drive it around, right? I have two questions about that:

-How long do I need to run the engine after jumping the battery before I can turn it off?
-If I just let the engine idle without actually going anywhere, will that be good enough, and how long would I need to do that?

thanks!
I have a trickle charger, but no good place to plug it in-- I'd have to plug it in inside my house and run an extension cord outside through the melting snow, which seems like a bad idea.

admin answers:

It should jusmp start within seconds and just leave the flat battery car running for a few mins, with no other electrics on.

Good luck

Questions About How To Insert A Tampon Correctly

Donna asks…

How to insert a tampon correctly?

im 14 and this is my first time putting a tampon in. every time i try to do it i have to push hard like forcing it in and it hurts but it somehow goes in halfway and is uncomfortable. How do i insert it in correctly allowing it to glide in easily and painless like everyone says? it's soo hardd . ugh i get soo frustrated.
currently have playtex gentle glide regular

admin answers:

This is going to sound really gross----
spread ur legs to shoulder width apart, (no undies on btw :P) and kinda jimmy it in, put the plastic part as far as you can without ur fingers touching ur vag, and then push the stick at the bottom to insert it.
Srry if thats gross

Lizzie asks…

How do you insert a tampon Correctly?

I have read the instructions and tried several times using a mirror and in various positions. After opening the opening I put the tampon in and push gently. It goes no where. Am I just scared or am I puttng it at the wrong angle? All the sites I've looked at don't explain the step between placing it to the opening and pushing it in. Totally confused. Please help x

admin answers:

Are you sure you're using the right tampon? If your hymen is still intact you might prefer the smallest tampons.

Make sure you're pushing it the right angle, generally, you have to push up slightly towards your bum rather than pushing it up in a straight line.

Also, remember that at the entrance of your vagina there's a tight ring of muscles that somewhat "lock" it. If you push a little past that point you will feel it sliding in without problems. Then, just push until you feel comfortable.

Maria asks…

how do you insert a tampon correctly so it doesnt hurt when you sit down?

and you know where theres the grip....does the grip hav to go in your vagina in order to put it in all the way...or do u just stop and dnt put the grip in?

admin answers:

No. Your fingers hold it at the grip, you insert it inside your body and stop when your fingers (on the grip) are just outside your vagina. Then you push the smaller tube inside the larger tube and you should be good. If you do it like this, the bottom end of the tampon will be a couple inches up inside you, and the string should hang out a couple inches. If you are pushing in the applicator and it hits something and stops, that is your cervix. Do not push any farther up. Instead, just push the tampon out of the applicator at that point without pushing it up (you might have to pull the applicator down some).

Daniel asks…

how do you insert a tampon correctly?

i just tryed to insert a tampon for the fisrt time and it wouldnt go in. i tryed slowly for about 5mins and it wouldnt go in. it was painfull too.
i followed the instructiion, tryed it just standing and also with one foot up, and it wouldnt go in.

admin answers:

Check out this video - http://www.plannedparenthood.org/teen-talk/watch/period-how-use-pad-tampon-cup-26793.htm and if you're not sure where your vaginal opening is then look at this page - http://www.scarleteen.com/article/body/anatomy_pink_parts_female_sexual_anatomy

Wash hands first then get into a comfortable position and relax. Unwrap the tampon making sure the string hangs down, hold the tampon in one hand while you hold your labia open with your other hand. If using a non-applicator tampon then insert as far as it'll go, aiming towards the bottom of your back - don't be scared of touching your vagina, it's yours and both your vagina and menstrual flow is very clean. If using an applicator tampon insert the outer tube into your vagina as far as it'll go, then use your index finger to push the inner tube through the outer tube to push the tampon into your vagina, once the inner tube is all the way in remove the applicator. If you feel pain as you move the tampon isn't in far enough so remove and try again later with a fresh tampon. To remove pull strings gently but firmly, wrap up and bin - never flush!

To make insertion easier use lowest absorbency which are smaller, and cotton tampons like Cottons or Natracare which are softer so easier to insert, they're also safer than brands like Tampax, you may also want to use non-applicator as they give you more control and have less waste. Insert during heavy flow, if you need to use lubrication such as KY jelly or olive oil, you may want to masturbate as when aroused your vagina becomes larger, relaxed and lubricated so making insertion easier. Take a spare tampon and practice using your closed fist to represent your vagina, don't use that same tampon in your vagina, instead pop it into water then you can see how it works inside your body too.

If you have problems don't panic, just try again another time or use something else, there are plenty of other options many of which are better than tampons so no reason to get stressed with tampons. I'd recommend menstrual cups, these are healthier and more hygienic than tampons, they are also easier to use, more convenient and more reliable than tampons as they can be worn any time up to 12 hours without leaking. If you want to learn more see here - http://www.scarleteen.com/article/advice/what_are_menstrual_cups

Remember to avoid TSS and vaginal infections it's important to stay hygienic by changing tampons every 4-6 hours and alternate between tampons and pads. Always use lowest absorbency and don't use tampons before your period, with light flow, overnight or when you have a vaginal infection. See the tampon health web site http://www.spotsite.org and the TSS information site http://www.toxicshock.com for more information.

Lisa asks…

How do you insert a tampon correctly without it hurting?

im going swimming tomorrow and i really really dont want to miss out, ive tried using them before but it hurts

admin answers:

Heya,
There is many things that can make it hurt, try using a slender tampon with a plastic applicator ( i higly recommend this for beginners), also before you insert it make sure you are relaxed and calm if you are tense this can also make it hurt, and also the best best tip i can give you is get hold of some KY Jelly and put a tiny bit on the top of the tampon and then it should slide right in without it hurting. If you cant get it in though there is nothing wrong with you its just practise makes perfect, if you cant get it in though ( which i think you will) you wont be able to go swimming you dont have to tell your friends the real reason just say you dont feel very well, if there your true friends they should understand. Hope i helped and good luck
xx

Questions About How To Ask A Girl To Homecoming Dance

Sandra asks…

What is the best way to ask a girl to homecoming dance?

I was dateless my freshman year for the homecoming dance, i was hoping i could ask someone and get a date, i dont know who to ask or how to ask, do girls care if you ask them to the dance and you dont know each other very well?

admin answers:

There are a LOT of good ways to ask a girl to homecoming. One way is to decorate her locker and ask her. Last year, a girl on my swim team was asked to homecoming by her boyfriend. He had the entire team wear a swimcap with a certain letter, and when everybody lined up, it said "(girl's name), will you go to homecoming with me?" that is cute. You could also write it really big in chalk on the street and have her look out her window. Also, you can ask her parent's permission to go into her room and put glow-in-the-dark stars above her bed asking her, and when she goes to bed that night, it will glow above her. You can also look for more suggestions online.

Joseph asks…

How do i ask a girl to homecoming dance even tho i never talked to her?

The HOme comeing is coming and i wanna know how to ask this girl i never talked to the the dance

admin answers:

Hey, I've been seeing you around school and I was hoping to get the opportunity to get to know you better. I'd really like to go to the Homecoming Dance and I was hoping you'd be able to go with me. I think it'd be fun, what do you say?

Mandy asks…

How to ask a girl to homecoming dance?

I'm not just asking how do I ask her I'm wondering how I should go about it. Yea see we've been pretty good friends for awhile and she goes to a different school and her homecoming is next weekend and mine is Saturday. She bought a new dress and everything so she wants to go to homecoming but doesn't want to go alone. Should I ask her to mine or ask if she'd like me to join her to hers and how should I go about asking her since she just broke up with her bf.

admin answers:

Well first ask her soon before someone else does and ask to go to hers because she might be more happier with that and you can see her friends and see some people who go to her school. =)

Paul asks…

How do I ask this girl to Homecoming Dance?

There is this girl that I like, and last year we talked together a lot, we had band together, but this year we don't have any classes together, I have only seen her a few times, and she is a grade ahead of me. Would it be acceptable to ask her on facebook chat or over the internet some how instead of in person? I will try my very best to find her in school, but if that doesn't work...

admin answers:

It's always best in person never ask on facebook that will on;y make you look like a fool and that your too scared to ask her face to face. Make it a priority to find her at school or wait for her after school and walk her home so you guys get to talking about anything...Good luck hope this helps

Donna asks…

How long should i wait until i ask a girl to Homecoming dance?

admin answers:

You should ask right away, just to make sure she will go. If not that will give you time to find another suitable girl. If she says yes, that gives you time to plan a memorial night.

Questions About How To Increase Metabolism Rate

Laura asks…

how do i increase metabolism rate?

i'm 15, and compare to the me years ago, my metabolism rate has definitely gone down a lot.

other than eating frequent meals, is there any other ways of increasing metabolism rate?

i heard taking sauna will increase metabolism, does that mean, bathing in hot water, which results in sweating, increase metabolism rate as well?

please gimme ways to increase metabolism rate!!!!
thanks!

admin answers:

12 Steps to Charge up your Metabolism.

1. Always eat breakfast! Skipping breakfast sends the message to your body that you're starving because you haven't had food in 18+ hours. As a protective mechanism, your metabolism slows down. Food, especially complex carbohydrates, fuels your metabolism.

2. Eat earlier in the day! Research has demonstrated that you can lose weight simply by eating a substantial breakfast and lunch, and a light dinner. Dinner should be eaten as early as possible, preferably at least four hours before bedtime.

3. Never eat less than 1200 calories per day! Less than 1200 is usually not enough to support your basal metabolism and thus will slow your metabolism.

4. Snack frequently! Complex carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, and grains) fuel your metabolism. Also, snacking prevents you from becoming too hungry. The hungrier you are, the less control you have over what and how much you eat.

5. Eat more carbohydrates (food from plants), and less fat (food from many animals and other food with added fat)! Carbohydrates boost your metabolism and have fewer calories per weight than fat.

6. Do some type of aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, swimming, stationary cycling, aerobic dancing, etc.) on a daily basis (preferably in the morning)! Forget this twice-a-week stuff. Our bodies were designed to be active on a daily basis! When we are, our metabolism soars!

7. In addition to your regular aerobic exercise, take a brisk 10 to 15 minute walk at lunch or in the evening. This serves to boost your metabolism even more!

8. Tone your muscles with weight training three days per week. Toned muscles send your metabolism through the roof. Do it!

9. Look for situations to be active. Park as far from the store as you can rather than looking for the closest parking spot. Use the stairs rather than the elevator, a broom rather than a blower, etc. Look for the "hard" way to do things!

10. Avoid alcohol! Alcohol depresses your metabolism and stimulates your appetite.

11. Drink 60+ ounces of water a day. Your metabolism needs plenty water to function properly. Carry a bottle of water with you and drink frequently throughout the day.

12. Avoid the"3 P's".....pills, powders, and potions! There are NO quick fixes!

Sharon asks…

how to increase metabolism rate?

hi i am 22,female,5'4'' weight 83 kgs.i want to lose 15-18 kgs weight in 7-8 months.so i planned my day routine for my weight loss.

i just wanted to know how can i calculate my metabolism rate also what all the foods or drinks that i should have to increase my metabolism rate.?please help me guys.take care.

admin answers:

Find out how many calories you need per day: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html

To increase metabolic rate yet lose fat, decrease your food calories by no more than 500 calories per day, but never ever consume below your BMR calories or your metabolism will decrease. Also, do cardio exercise in addition to exercise/activities you are already doing, i.e. Extra exercise, burning up to 500 calories per session.

For food, eat thermogenic foods (protein - e.g. Chicken, egg whites, turkey, fish, shellfish), thyroid stimulating foods (coconut oil, avocado, shellfish, seaweed), and lots of non-starchy vegetables. Stay away from thyroid-inhibiting foods such as soy, and avoid (refined) starches and sugars and all artificial sweeteners. Limit caffeine and try not to drink alcohol at all.

Ken asks…

how do you increase your metabolism rate?

i HATE getting fat x(

give me tips other than mentioning working out or exercising.
i know it works and i just want to learn IF there's an alternate way of increasing your metabolism rate.
what do you mean by smaller but frequent meals?

can you give examples?

admin answers:

Here are some ways... Dont expect to be seen overnight though!

• NEVER skip breakfast its the most important meal on speeding up your metabolism. It keeps it going for the day. Also make sure its on of your biggest meals of the day.
• Drink 6-10 glasses of water a day.
• Drink 4-6 cups of green tea a day- its said to boost metabolism
• Going for a morning jog can boost your metabolism for the day, but make sure you do it before you eat breakfast
• Eating 4-6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours
• Dont starve yourself, it slows down your metabolism
• Eating junk food & sweets & drinking soda slows it down
• Exercise regulates and speeds up metabolism
• Never skip meals - it just slows it down
• Eat more protein
• Take your vitamins
• Reduce your fat intake
• Drinking ice cold water because your body has to warm it up to room temperature and it uses the fat from your body to do so, and regulates your metabolism
• Chilli and spicy foods speed up metabolism
• Cinamon is one of the best spices to speed up your metabolism - its said to speed it up by 20 times
• Add foods high in Vitamin C
• Building muscle speeds metabolism - so train with weights

Daniel asks…

how can i increase my metabolism rate to the maximum?

admin answers:

Exercise is what does this. Do something physical every day, like walking, running, riding a bike, swimming. Keep it simple. The more you exercise, the better you will feel and the more confidence and control you will experience too.

Questions About How To End A Letter Of Recommendation

Mandy asks…

Is it rude to ask a teacher to hurry up and finish a letter of recommendation?

So I have asked one of my teachers to write a letter of recommendation for me and at the time when I asked her, I said that she didn't really have a deadline because all the other teachers I have asked before have gotten it done within a few days. She is a new teacher, so maybe she doesn't realize the partial urgency? However, I really need the letter by the end of the week, so would it be rude for me to ask her to hurry up? How should I ask?

admin answers:

@ the mature law student, in england, There are universities which require application by december (one of which I applied to). The year before the start of their next term.

The best way to do it is just ask politely (previously mentioned perfectly. Stick to the point, not off-topic., but try and get and get a number date as well. The most important thing, though, in my opinion, is to write something down about it in front of them, with an actual date. This will help you get the seriousness across subtly, while making it seem casual and friendly. I've done this to get so many different things finished, I can't keep count.

Richard asks…

How do I remind a teacher that a due-date for a letter of recommendation she said she'd write is approaching?

I need the letter by the end of the week. She agreed to write it in the beginning of March. How do I gently remind her (in an email) that the due-date is approaching? I don't want to sound rude or pushy! ;_;
She's foreign, btw, so I'm especially worried I'll sound rude!

admin answers:

I sent an email basically as follows when the same thing happened to me:

"Dear _______,

I'm just writing to remind you that my recommendation for _____ is due on Friday. Please let me know if you need any more information to complete it.

Thanks again for agreeing to recommend me."

Worked for me. Good luck--I've been there and the waiting game is no fun.

John asks…

how to make a letter of recommendation for a teacher?

i want to make a letter of recommendation for an outstanding teacher of mine last year, how will i start the letter? how will i end?

what type of introduction will i use?
how about greeting?
would it be "to whom it may concern"?

admin answers:

Indicate why you believe that this teacher is outstanding.

In the introduction indicate how you have known the teacher and for how long.

Your conclusion may be a summary about how this teacher is so outstanding./

Susan asks…

How would you write a good letter of recommendation?

Is there like a certain way to write a letter of recommendation? How would you write the beginning middle and end?

admin answers:

You can google recommendation letter formats on line and may find a template. I usually start by saying how pleased I am to recommend (whomever) for ..(whatever, college, club, job.).. Follow up by outlining how long and under what circumstances you know the person.. Body should be what traits/achievements the person has that would make them an asset to wherever you are recommending them.. Conclude with your personal contact email or phone if there are any follow ups questions you would be happy to speak with them personally.. Hope this helps.

Mark asks…

How far in advance should I ask a person for a recommendation letter?

I am currently a student and working as an assistant teacher. Over this past school year I have gotten to know some of the parents and would like to ask them for a recommendation letter. How far in advance should I ask for it BEFORE the end of the school year (mid-June)! Any ideas let me know!

admin answers:

I'm in high school, and I have to put together a portfolio to graduate, including 2 recomendation letters. I started asking when I found out, about April 6, and its due May 16. Give them enough time so that they don't feel too pressured.

Edit: I don't know what grade your assisting, but you could suggest it as an assignment that the children write one also. If I was trying to hire a teacher, I would consider how the kids felt about you as well as the parents.

Questions About How To Answer Interview Questions About Why Should I Hire You

Betty asks…

How to answer the question 'Why should we hire you?' in a job interview?

Today I applied for a job at a store and got called for an interview on the same day. My interview is scheduled to be at 1pm on Wednesday of this week. Problem is that I have no clue what to say if they were to ask,"Why should we hire you?". This is my first interview at a clothing store and would also be my first job. I've researched this question but a lot say that I should research about the store first. The store I applied for a job with is one of those small clothing stores at a mall and upon searching it, I found nothing. The name of the clothing store is called Choice. Also,what if they ask,"what can you do for this company?" if i have no information on it? what other questions would they ask?how do i prepare for this interview?

admin answers:

I assume by your application and/or resume that they'll already know this is your first job. Since that is lacking it comes down to showing confidence and talking about your skills, dedication, honesty, hard working, etc. Do you have business or fashion knowledge from school? Good grades? Those should be highlighted in your answer to show your skills. As far as the company goes, a good line is something to the extent that you, or a friend, have been a customer in the past and admire the customer service and quality of their clothing making it a desirable place to work.

Michael asks…

How should I answer. Why should we hire you?

I was reviewing job interview questions and I came across this..I thought about it but don't really have a good answer to that question

admin answers:

Easy:
"I fit all your requirements (as set out in the advertisement), have the necessary skills and experience to do the job. I have a clean disciplinary records and my previous employers will tell you about the positive contributions I have made. I know that I am one of ten people shortlisted, and cannot really comment why I will be better than anyone of them. However, I know this company (employer) and have researched the position I applied for. I am sure that I will be happy in my new environment and enjoy the work."
Note: The employment interview is a negotiation process. They need your elbow grease and mind power and you need their money and training (experience). In other words, the interview is a give-and-take. Make sure that you are armed with 4 questions if they afford you an opportunity.

Sandra asks…

I really need some help on this interview question.. "Why should Disneyland hire you?"?

I have little experience in the job world. (mainly done domestic jobs & volunteer work) It amazes me that I was able to get an interview in the first place. Don't get me wrong, I am more than able to do the position I applied for but this is my first personal interview and I can answer just about any question thrown at me except this one.. any tips on how to answer this would be greatly appreciated. thank you for your time :)

admin answers:

Try re-wording it. "Why are you applying for this position at Disneyland instead of somewhere else?" Perhaps it is your childhood love of Disneyland, the fact someone made the magic real for you on a visit and you wish to do the same for someone else, etc.

Ken asks…

How should I answer these job interview questions?

Not sure exactly what they'll ask but if they ask these questions how should I answer?

What is your biggest stregnth?

Why should I hire you?

Skills that would make you good at this job?


And are these answers okay for other questions? if not what changes would you make??


Past employments?
This is my first real job but I've done alot of volunteer work and babysitting.

Biggest weakness?
Right now my biggest weakness is probably my lack of experience.

Why do you want this job?
I think having a job would be a great way for me to learn more responsibility plus I need the money.

Do you think i should cut out the money part or does it sound fake if i just say the part about "learning responsibility"
oNe more:


Where do you see yourself in ten years?


(idont' know what to say cuz im not really sure)

admin answers:

I would cut out the part about needing the money as it is ibvious and does not need to be stated. I think your answer to the weakness question is good but I would add something like "my greatest weakness is inexperience but I plan on fixing that by getting this job". Good luck!

how to hide messages from pages I've "liked" in facebook mobile app newsfeed?

I went through my profile and added some music and other items that I like as well as having clicked "like" on various pages. Now my mobile app newsfeed is so clogged with messages from those various pages that I can barely find the messages I care about from my friends. I tried going to my PC side of facebook and I don't see those in the newsfeed there so I can't just hide them in that way. The only way I can seem to get ride of them is to unlike them all together. Is that the only way?
that's the thing I've looked on my computer newsfeed and don't see them there for some reason.
apparently the newsfeed was showing top news which didn't include the ones I was looking for. I switched to most recent and then I saw a bunch of them.

I'm not sure you can do this, unless you remove yourself from thefan page or hide their updates from showing up on your wall.
Fan pages updates come up exactly like a friends status would.

So just hide it by physically going on a computer, hovering over the right corner of the update, click hide.
It will say "Hide page name" and "Cancel"
Click the hide page, and you should be good to go.

Robert asks…

Am I the only one that thinks what Ben Stein said needed to be said?

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.
She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards.
Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

admin answers:

Ben Stein did NOT write most of this message...see http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_ben_stein_christmas.htm for more information.

I do think that the message contains some valid points...the part Ben Stein actually wrote was interesting and I'm glad he said it. Some of it is inaccurate...but the point is valid. For example, the statements attributed to Mrs. Graham were accurate but she was talking about 9-11 not Katrina. I especially liked how she put the part about us telling God to get out of our lives and then blaming him for not protecting us from harm.

Lizzie asks…

What do you think of this letter?

Ben Stein (T.V. personality) wrote this.


If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as to sway juries and make people think clearly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

Herewith a few confessions from my beating heart: I have no freaking clue who Nick and Jessica are. I see them on the cover of People and Us constantly when I am buying my dog biscuits and kitty litter. I often ask the checkers at the grocery stores. They never know who Nick and Jessica are either. Who are they? Will it change my life if I know who they are and why they have broken up? Why are they so important?

I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is either, and I do not care at all about Tom Cruise's wife.

Am I going to be called before a Senate committee and asked if I am a subversive? Maybe, but I just have no clue who Nick and Jessica are.

If this is what it means to be no longer young. It's not so bad.

admin answers:

He is right on target. No problem with it what so ever. We ought to give more sober thought to things he reminded us of. However, he didn't go far enough. I like his attitude. Straight forward.

We kicked God of the schools in favor of school shootings.

We kicked God out of the courtroom and we have more laws and less justice, more crime and more penalties but less serving what they should for. We have corrupt judges, lawyers, yes they are good lawyers and good judges, but thanks to the media we don't hear about them.

We kicked God out of the homes and we have over 60 years of increasing divorce rate, preteen pregnancy, single parent families, two dads, two moms, three here none there, child abuse, sex abuse, adult abuse.

We kicked God out of the Senate, and we have more politicians who are concerned for their constituents than they are for the offices they hold, we have a house of representatives that represents only their own agendas and not the people, we have a governent that is so bipartisan and so childish and immature if I didn't know it should be a nursery, with alot of diaper changing and bottle feeding going.

We kicked God out of our lives and say hey its a private thing don't speak in his name, or offend those who have differing opions on who this God is.

We kicked God of the churches and God said enough is enough - and until we let God back into our lives, churches, homes, work places, schools, senate, house, government we are deserving everything that we are getting and it hasn't even begin to get nasty as it can!

So lets decide for God and have peace or against God and have no peace

Carol asks…

Will this good Samaritan be charged for violating the illegal aliens civil rights Illegal Alien Arrested?

Illegal Alien Arrested After Striking Victims, Flinging 2 Of Them Off His Hood, Then Taking Off Good Samaritan Tracks Driver Down, Detains Him Until Police Arrive

They were clinging to the top of the hood, screaming for their lives, and police say they were treated like debris. Stunning revelations surfaced Thursday about the driver in the hit-and-run crash that seriously injured four high school students who were heading to the mall.



"Thank God they're alive." That's the first thing Anthony Centamore said when he saw his daughter Stefanie in the hospital on Wednesday night, not yet aware of how she got there.

"When I walked in she had a neck brace on, and blood all over her. Scratches, scrapes on her face," he told CBS 2.

Then came the story of how Stefanie and her three friends were crossing the street and were blindsided by a car, whose driver never bothered to stop even as two victims were laying in the street, and two more, including his own daughter, were on the hood of the car, screaming for their lives.

"What does that say about him? Basically, you can classify him as a low life," Centamore said of the driver, identified as 26-year-old Elias Garcia of Hempstead.

Police said what Garcia did was barbaric, especially in how he successfully got rid of the screaming girls.

"He stops to get them off his car as you would some debris or a pile of snow off the hood of your car," said Nassau County Police Det. Lt. Ray Cote.



"They're screaming, they're bleeding as they're holding on for their lives," said Cote.

Authorities say the day laborer jerked his car to a stop, forcing the two victims to fall off so he could make his getaway. As Garcia took off, leaving the four victims in the street, good Samaritan Steve Loverde sprang into action, determined not to let the driver get away.

"I jumped into my car and made a U-turn and chased him down and he must have been going about 90 miles an hour," Loverde told CBS 2. "I pulled him out of the car and I took his keys away and I just threw them on the grass and made the 911 call."

Loverde stopped Garcia and detained him until police arrived. It turned out Garcia is an illegal alien from Guatemala who doesn't even have a license to drive, which explains why he took off, to a point.

"Regardless of illegal alien or no last name, being a human being and a good person, you stop the car," said Centamore.

As for Centamore's daughter, she's being treated at Winthrop University Hospital and is in good spirits as are all her friends, secure in the knowledge that the man who hit them didn't get away with it thanks to a good Samaritan.



"I can't say enough prayers for that gentleman. It's a great thing that he did," said Centamore.

Loverde hopes to meet the girls at the hospital and tell them someone was watching over them and not everyone gets a second chance at life.

Garcia was charged with reckless endangerment, driving without a license, and leaving the scene. Because he's an illegal immigrant, he could be deported.
http://wcbstv.com/topstories/hit.and.run.2.1706271.html
Loverde told CBS 2. “I pulled him out of the car and I took his keys away and I just threw them on the grass and made the 911 call.””

I wonder if this good man has any idea what he’s in store for.

In this country, we can’t make a citizen’s arrest against an illegal alien
Because he's an illegal immigrant, he could be deported.
Or they could just write him some tickets and tell him to show up in court...of course he won't show up. Catch and release

admin answers:

WH reports 4 high school students tried to detain Mr. Garcia a visitor to our country, and fleeing for his life, he was later stopped and forced out of his vehicle, thrown to the ground, causing multiple injuries, by a local citizen who stole his keys in the assault. Mr. Garcia says he believes he was a victim of racial profiling and believes his attackers should be punished to the full extent of the law for violating his civil rights.

You can just discard this - what you have just read... But, if you do this don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
Lyceumlogic you bring up an interesting point; That Religion should not be taught in schools - quote "and yes god does not belong in schools" "in the Science class, for a Science it is not".
I too don't believe in it being taught in the Science Class, just as there should be no evolution taught there either. For both these are what a person believes.
In all our lives, left to our own devices we would find God or satan, as primitive people always have. (along with those we read in the Bible)
NEVER an evolution Theory, that is just a forced taught lie of the enemy for whoever will succmb to him. He does go round like a roaring lion seeing WHO he MAY devour!
Interesting you say: "besides, the god of the people does not give a phuck about his children. (if there was a god) the suffering of one little child is enough to say god's plan is a failure."
Gods plans Never fail.
In fact He has one for you.
And that is a plan not to hurt you or to harm you but to give you a future and a ho
And that is a plan not to hurt you or to harm you but to give you a future and a hope.
He Loves you Lyceumlogic, and only wants good for you. Just like a mother does, as that is the mother-heart of God.

Thank you for you comments.
Lyceumlogic, I just read the last part of what you wrote and God actually does the opposite to that.
Remember Jesus Clearly says, and even if you have never read a Bible before, most people are familiar to this Scripture, "Suffer not the little children to come unto me." and here's another I have to add.
Mat 18:10 "Beware that you don't despise a single one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.

Someone can attend Church every Sunday, and in a small society and are looked upon with much favour as a good Citizon and 'Christian', yet we know from experience, what our eyes have seen, that isn't always the case. It can often be a front.

Questions About How To Find Slope

Betty asks…

How do you find slope intercept form for this line?

I need to find slope intercept form for a line passing through the point (5,8) and perpendicular to the line passing through the points (-8,7) and (-2,0).
Do you find the slope of the line passing through (-8,7) and then flip the slope?

admin answers:

Step 1: Find the slope of the perpendicular line passing thru (-8,7) (-2,0). Use point-slope formula:

m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

. . = (7 - 0) / (-8 - (-2))

. . = 7 / (-8 + 2)

. . = 7 / - 6


Step 2: Get the slope of the line passing thru (5, 8) by flipping the above slope, and multiply by -1.

M = (- 6 / 7) * -1

. . = 6 / 7


Step 3: Use the point slope formula again to get the slope intercept form equation. Plug in what you know. Then solve for y.

M = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

6 / 7 = (8 - y)(5 - x)


Cross multiply

6(5 - x) = 7(8 - y)

30 - 6x = 56 - 7y

- 6x = 26 - 7y

- 6x + 7y = 26

7y = 26 + 6x

y = 26/7 + 6/7 x


Rearrange to get

y = 6/7 x + 26/7

Carol asks…

How to find function domains, and help finding slope of aline?

I'm having trouble finding the domain of functions. Could someone kindly explain how to get the domains of these functions to me;

Question 1:
f(x) = x^2 - 9

Question 2:
f(x) = | 48 - x |

Question 3:
f(x) = 8
------
x + 9

Does Question 3 equal x is a real number and x cannot equal -9?



Also I had a quick question regarding the slope of a line. I found the slope but it equals -10.5/20 do I divide from there to find the slope because then it would give me -0.525 and for some reason that doesn't look right to me.

admin answers:

1. All Real
2. All Real
3. X cannot be -9

How to make a program to find slope and y-intercept of an equation for ti-83 calculator?

I'm trying to find M (slope) & B (y-intercept) of my equation by using a program. How do I do this??? Please help. Thanks.

You don't specify what your inputs are. If there are no given values, there's no way to calculate slope or a y-intercept based on no information.

Charles asks…

Find slope of the tangent line of the graph at a specific point?

Find the slope of the tangent line of the graph of f(x) = √(5x^2+4) (all under square root) at the point where x = -1
I know how to start it, but I cannot get to the answer! Please help.

admin answers:

Use the chain rule to differentiate this function. The chain rule is dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx where u is a function of x. I am using y instead of f(x).

Let u = 5x^2 + 4....................then du/dx = 10x

Let y = sqrt(u) = u^(1/2).........then dy/du = (1/2) * u^(-1/2) = (1 / sqrt(u)) =
(from the definition of u) (1 / sqrt(5x^2 + 4))

So dy/dx = (1 / sqrt(5x^2 + 4)) * 10x = (10x / sqrt(5x^2 + 4)

Where x = -1, dy/dx = ((10 * (-1)) / (sqrt(5 + 4)) = (-10 / 3)

Now we need to know the value of y where x = -1. Y = sqrt(5 + 4) = 3

So the tangent line has a slope of m = (-10 / 3) and passes through (-1,3)

y = (-10 / 3) * x + b (where b is an unknown constant).

Since this line passes through (-1,3), Substitute -1 for x and 3 for y into the above equation.

3 = ((-10 / 3) * -1) + b = +(10 / 3) + b

Subtract (10 / 3) from both sides of this equation.

3 - (10/3) = b

b = (/3) - (10/3) = (-1/3)

So the tangent line is y = ((-10 / 3) * x) - (1/3) <-------------- Answer

.

Mary asks…

How to find slope-intercept equation when given the slope and x-intercept?

Slope-intercept equation:
y=mx+b

How do you find the equation, when you are giving the slope and the x-intercept (instead of the y-intercept)?

For example, the slope is 3.0 and the x-intercept is (-2,0).

admin answers:

You can take the point-slope form of a line

(y-0) = 3 (x - (-2))

and solve it for y.

Questions About How To Increase Testosterone And Decrease Estrogen

Richard asks…

A question about hair follicles and DHT? Estrogen & testosterone?

I have just read an interesting answer that DHT (testosterone) is responsible for hair loss because it blocks the hair follicles thus stopping hair from growing/choking off the follicles. Well i'm a 22 year old female experiencing some hair loss after having my son almost 2 years ago. I realize that at first it's normal to have excessive hair loss after the birth of a child because of all the hormones but it has not returned to my pre pregnancy state. My hair extremely thin and my scalp is even visible.

My question is how can i eliminate testosterone from my body and when i do will that prevent hair loss or restore the hair that i have lost? Does increasing estrogen mean decreasing testosterone and if it does how can i increase estrogen? Which is easier. Someone mentioned on here that Oat grass will help lower testosterone levels?

i'd really like my thick healthy hair again as opposed to being half bald and having thin disgusting damaged hair at just 22.

For some reason in your endocrinology, DHT is causing this post-birth. Sourcing the reason would be best, but the easiest answer for now is to supplement with DHT blockers/antagonizers. Propecia is one of them.

Also an adjunct would be to address your circulation by incorporating capsaican - the ingredient in hot peppers, or gingko, or something else effective so that your capillaries are getting dilated thereby getting the raw materials your follicles need to start manufacturing hair.

There is a semi-synthetic compound called vinpocetine that targets the parts of the circulatory system in the head region. Perhaps that will get circulation going as you supplement with an anti-DHT medication.

How powerful is the human mind?

So its possible to make yourself sick by thinking about it. Therefore, what else is possible?

Is it possible to grow more hair on your head by somehow concentrating and convincing your mind into believing you need it for whatever reason?
Is it possible to control your hormone levels? Increasing/decreasing in testosterone? Increasing/decreasing in estrogen?

Does anyone have website on just how powerful the mind is?

admin answers:

The thing with making yourself sick by thinking about it isn't quite as simple as you put it. The way it works is when someone decides to start thinking they're sick when they're not they get stressed, which stress lowers the immune system and therefor that person is more likely to get sick than they would have had they not stressed about it in the first place.

Any Docs out there? Many questions regarding Depo Provera as a sex addiction suppresant? please help.?

Any Docs out there? Many questions regarding Depo Provera as a sex addiction suppresant? please help.?
I'm a 21 year old male, interested in taking the shot as a possible treatment for sex addiction. I would like to know its side effects. Will estrogen increase in my body as testosterone decreases? or Will estrogen levels stay the same? What are the side effects? I am fairly well built and muscular, will I loose my physique? If I work out during these months on the shot, will I maintain my physique or will the shot affect it that much. Where can I get a prescription for this treatment? Are there any psychological side effects? Are there any dangers I should be aware of? What are the feelings of being on this medication? How long may I use this continously? How will my moods be? I have a varicocele at my left testicle, will this shot affect it? Will my sperm count increase or decrease on this shot? Any help would be appreciated!

Not a doctor, but a Biologist.
DMPA (Depo) is probably not the road you want to go for the things you want.
If you're seeking to suppress your sexual desire, Cyproterone is the route many people take. It's an anti-androgen medication used to treat prostate cancer and reassign males into females. Taking an appropriately sized dose would probably grant you you're desired result. It's anti-androgen properties is the only way I know to reduce sexual desire medication-wise. But know this, as an anti-androgen, Cyproterone will cause other side effects in relationship to how much you take. The more you take, the less testosterone (and other androgens) you have. The less testosterone you have, the less sexual desire, the less promotion of muscle and bone growth, the less sperm production promotion.

You need to see a doctor for the prescription, and he'll likely direct you to a therapist as a safety precaution.

I thought this was a male question about a couple of questions about testosterone?

Estrogens (alternate spelling: oestrogens) are a group of steroid compounds, named for their importance in the estrous cycle, and functioning as the primary female sex hormone.
