Sandwich

Going through my pocket change today I found that instead of a US penny I had a foreign coin. It is penny-sized and copper throughout.

On one side it has tall palm tree; on the left of the tree it says "UN CENTAVO" with the "UN" over the "CENTAVO." On the right of the tree it says "3 GRAMOS" with the "3" over the "GRAMOS." Below each of these are two dots or stars next to each other. Under the tree it says "1964" (95% sure but it is highly worn).

On the opposite side of the coin, there is a coat-of-arms type of design, with a shield with leafy branches on each side. Above and below the shield appear to be ribbons which probably said something, but there are no legible words or numbers on this side. Also the shield itself may have had an image in it, but it is worn beyond recognition.

I'm not concerned with the current value of this coin, I doubt it's worth much if anything, but if anybody could tell me where it's from, I'd appreciate it. There are way too many different centavos from different times, some still in use and others not or that have changed, for me to figure it out.

Thanks

I've had an Egyptian Uromastyx for almost a year now. Every now and then, I'd notice a solid white buildup in his nostrils, and I'd just pick it away with my fingernail. But lately, he's been getting it worse, and he really doesn't like when I try to pick it out. Even picking it doesn't seem to clear his nostrils up all the way. I am worried that it will totally block up his nose. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

When you see a military uniform or maybe some police uniforms, the flag on the shoulder is put on in reverse (the US flag would have the blue field on the right side, not the left). Why is this? Do only some uniforms require this, or do all?

If a food has x amount of fat in it, then how do companies produce a different version of it that has reduced fat or no fat? Always wanted to know that. And if it's possible to reduce the fat in a food, then why do companies continue to have the fatty version still available?

I know this is kind of a strange question, but I'd rather see if anyone knows for sure before I go to the microwave and try it. I don't want to waste my precious drink!

Iced tea is supposed to just be regular tea but served cold, right? But that's if you make tea the real way. The process has been simplified by making that powder mix stuff that you stir in water. But, if I heat that, will it be like drinking regular tea?

It's really cold out today (snowed over 7" by my house in PA) and I want to have some hot tea. But I don't have tea, I just have iced tea. I was on the phone with my girlfriend and I asked her, and she said I should ask on Yahoo! Answers. So here I am.

NOTE: The iced tea mix I use is Crystal Light.

Just for the record, there is no baby on the way and this is just a thing that we talked about once and now it comes up all the time.

Okay, so here's the deal. If my girlfriend has a daughter, she would want to name her Isabella. I think this is a pretty name. However, I'm Jewish and I can't imagine having a Jewish daughter named Isabella. I'm sure there are Jewish girls out there named Isabella, but to me it just doesn't work. Here's why; when it comes to naming Jewish children, you usually name after the dead or for historical reasons. I don't need my daughter to be named Esther or Rachel or any traditional English version of Biblical Hebrew names. I can go for many names that have nothing to do with Judaism. But when I hear Isabella, I automatically think of Queen Isabella I of Castile (Spain). This queen is known for a few things, the two most well-known being the commissioning of Christopher Columbus to explore the Indies in 1492, and the expulsion of Jews (and Muslims) from kingdoms of Spain in the same year. Now I know that she was opposed to the latter measure, but at the same time, it's just plain un-Jewish. In Spanish they even call her "Isabel la Catolica (Isabella the Catholic). It would probably be equivalent to naming a son Titus (the Roman emperor who sacked Jerusalem in 70). Cool name, not cool for Jewish history.

She's said her second daughter would be named Adriana, which I think is very nice and acceptable. Again, this isn't a serious argument but if we ever get married and have kids this would probably be an issue. I must say she is very nice and a great girlfriend.

Does anybody know of a good website that shows the verb tables for Hebrew? For example, a website that shows the proper way to conjugate verbs of any particular binyan with any root and show the vowel nikkud? I've only found the entry on Wikipedia, but I was wondering if there was something better. I've seen the book "Hebrew Verb Tables" before (with the red/blue/green cover), and that's pretty good, but I don't have it and I would like a website.

10 points to the best website. Put down as many as you know.

Thanks!

I learned that there are only past and future tenses of the verb "to be," and you omit it in the present tense. For example, "Ani hayiti ba'bait" (I WAS in the house), "Ani ehiyeh ba'bait" (I WILL BE in the house), and "Ani ba'bait" (I --- in the house). I know that is all true, because in Jewish culture only G-d IS.

But what if I wanted to say "I want TO BE in the house." Would there be an infinitive form of to be? Like, "Ani rotzeh _______ ba'bait." Or would you instead say "Ani rotzeh she'ani ba'bait." (I want that I --- in the house). Or something else?

What if you wanted to ask somebody, "What do you want to be?" where there is no object for the infinitive?

... and when I say backside, I mean from the back of my neck down to my butt. I am not a really sweaty person at all; my armpits don't sweat too bad unless I'm really doing strenuous activity for a long time. But I've been getting serious swampass and even swampback recently and I might not be doing anything strenuous at all. It doesn't even have to be hot or humid. Sitting down is what makes it the worst, but I'm not a couch potato or anything. I spend more time up than down. It's getting pretty annoying and I felt I needed to ask because I just sat down to check my email and answer some questions and already I have swampass and swampback. Is there anything I can do to stop or reduce this besides putting antiperspirant in unpleasant areas?

I have been researching possible careers for me, and after much deliberation I found the Coast Guard and I fell in love with the idea. It seemed perfect for me, because I love boats and I come from a family of rescue professionals. I called the recruiter to ask if I could walk in or if I needed to schedule an appointment. He told me that before I could come in, I had to be "pre-screened" over the phone and it would be about 20 minutes. I know the Coast Guard is extremely selective, so this made sense to me. So I answer all of the questions 100% honestly, because I have nothing to hide and I am positive I'd be a perfect candidate. I was asked about any surgeries I've had, and I told him that in 2005 I broke my left wrist in a bicycle accident and I had a permanent titanium plate screwed in. It doesn't bother me in any way, and it doesn't set off metal detectors. He said that the Coast Guard will not accept me because of this but the other branches would let me sign a waiver. Why? If it didn't cost so much, I'd have another surgery just to get it removed. Needless to say I was quite upset that such a small and seemingly insignificant thing could end my Coast Guard career before it started. Does anybody know the reasoning behind this?

I know in the military for ground forces there exist MREs (meals ready-to-eat), but are Kosher MREs provided to Jewish soldiers? And in the Navy you probably must eat whatever is prepared in the galley of your ship, but is any effort made to accomodate those with Kosher diets?
