Damn anyone who calls me an attention seeker!

Than what is it?  A cry for help IS attention-seeking.  Its not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that you have identified that you need help and your problems are greater than you can handle alone.  But I don't thinking you're seeking help in the right places.  You won't go to see a therapist, yet you continue to feel sorry for yourself and feel suicidal.  I don't understand why 3 or 4 of your questions contain something to the effect of "mental health professional, help me", yet you refuse to actually see a mental health professional.  \nI guess I am a mental health professional, but not a licensed psychologist.  I have been doing counseling for 8 years and have completed all the coursework for the doctorate and just have to finish my one year of practice.  \nI'm sorry that I always come off as the mean one, but honestly, someone needs to tell you this.  You need someone to help you.  Its not something you can do alone.  Its not something you can do online.  You need real, person-to-person help.  That does not make you crazy.  That does not mean they will lock you up.  You just have problems, everyone does, maybe not to the same magnitude, but there are millions of people in this world that deal with conflict and pain on a daily basis and persevere. You could be one of these people if you sought help.  Do you remember my analogy of a person with a broken arm, screaming and crying in pain, but refusing to go to the hospital?  \nBecause, honestly, I don't think catharsis is going to work in your case.  You submit questions everyday, asking for help, threatening to hurt yourself.  You realize that this is a problem and its very disturbing to you, yet you don't want to fix it.  Do you also remember my reference to the depressive "comfy space"? \nAgain, I apologize if I sound as if I am being mean.  But a lot of people on this site will coddle you.  Which is fine.  Everyone's first instinct is to help and preserve life.  But professionally, I know that this is reinforcing your behavior, as are all my responses to your questions.  You need someone to tell you the truth....that you are depressed beyond the point of self-help or Yahoo Answers help....that you are posting shocking questions on this site to feel like others care about you and your feelings are validated...that you will find any excuse to avoid going to therapy...and that you will blame everyone else for your pain.  You blame those that abused you, although I have known many women who were sexually and emotionally abused, yet have been able to live fairly normal existances.  You blame other people on this site for making you upset by being "mean", but some of them are saying things that may be true but you don't want to hear.  Plus, you've made some comments directed to me, regarding the attention-seeking.  It is so much easier for people to make themselves the victim and blame everyone else and then use that as an excuse for their behavior.  \nYou need to stop blaming others, stop making yourself the victim, make yourself stronger, and seek help.  By not seeking help, you are the one who is sustaining your depression.  By seeking help, you are choosing to break from this cycle.  \nAgain, I apologize if this sounds harsh and I fully expect a pointed comment, but you need to realize that your problems are within your control. What you need assistance with are your reactions to those problems.


I am a high school junio. I get about 3A's and 2B's or 3B's and 2A's. My SAT 1 score is 2040, i will improve it to 2200 atleast. I'll get excellent SAT 2 scores because the system i'm studying under places a lot of stress on science.\nMy writing is quite good, and i have a wide range of extracurriculars. Teachers have supplied me with glowing recommendations. I will be applying for both early and regular decision to princeton. Yale and stanford = regular decision.\nI appreciate bluntly honest answers. Please tell me your ABSOLUTELY HONEST opinion.

Unless you got a close relative who went to Harvard or Yale...its unlikely you will get into either...Go for Princeton..still a long shot...


Americans are working too hard.  I think there should be a law that requires american companies to give their employees more vacation time, as well as requiring them to take them.

When you give something, people will get greedy and ask for more. Look whats happening in Europe right now. Not only do they have paid leave, but their working hours are shorter, and they work less days per week. But see the effects? Their economy is in all sorts of trouble right now. Low growth rate, high unemployment etc. There's always two side to a story. So hope this will make you feel happier that you still have a job thats paying you a decent amount of money to begin with. :)


I just finished my second semester of Chemistry but I'm still curious.

Entropy is a measurement of probability.  Say that there's two chambers of pink gas connected by some tubing.  The pink gas is free to move around between the two chambers.  \nIs it possible that every particle of gas will rest neatly in the first chamber?  Yes.  Is it at all probable?  No way.  The chances of that happening are nearly nothing.  That's because of entropy.  Entropy is disorder, and everything likes to go to higher disorder.


I'm only in my mid teens and I'm still a virgin but I have difficulty expressing myself and how I feel. When I think about it, my life could be considered close to perfect. Though this is not how I see it. To put it simply, I'm a typical teenage girl with many different insecurities.

That was a very good description of many teenagers, well said! \n\nMood swings are normal when your body is changing, when you are faced with peer pressure and thoughts of sex, and you aren't sure if you're fitting in to where you want to be, or even if you're not sure who you want to be.\n\nClose to perfect life? Thats a very liberal compliment to your family and surroundings, and if you aren't finding happiness at this moment then I would have to say you worry too much and hold yourself accountable so much that you may be getting the blues from being overwhelmed by it all. \n\nInsecurities, every teen has them, whether it dealing with their appearance in acne issues, thinking it's time to start dating, but not knowing who the nice people are that would treat you with respect, worrying about your grades in school and maybe even already being pressed to think about college.  This is all very normal too, but do try to relax a bit, enjoy the simple pleasures more, criticise yourself less, and roll with everything that comes your way, knowing that every teen has experienced some times of confusion and uncertainties, and if you need to speak to your school councelor about worries that are making you very sad, their doors are always open.


I have a friend that is promiscuous (what she calls herself instead of a slut) and she has this guy that she took home on a one night stand that still calls her. Well we went out and had a great time all of us at a club with other friends. Well he called me at 3:30 am telling me that he liked me and wanted to hook up and she was a nice girl but not his type. She doesn't like him only as a friend. Well he is a great guy which seems like he is on a responsible streak. The only thing keeping me back is that he slept with her and I don't like her reputation, I love her to death, but can't handle the sleeping around rep. This is like the 3rd time seeing him and everytime we hang out we just conversate while she is off somewhere talking to other guys. I don't want her to ever know that he called me. Please give me some feedback.

O.K. first of all, if your hung up about him sleeping with your "promiscuous" friend, and you can't put his past in the past.  Then you shouldn't go out with him.  You will end up only hurting yourself. 2nd, if you think you 2 can hook up, then don't let situations get in your way.  But, don't hide it from your friend.. You don't have to flaunt it in her face.  But sneaking around looses its glamor after a while.


I just saw a recent picture of him, and man, he looks more than ready to contribute in the NBA! He might make a bigger impact on the league than Tim Duncan!

He's a monster in the paint.  He definitely will make an impact in the nba like how Amare Stoudamire did.  But his foot work isn't nearly as good as Tim Duncan, so his post game is going to take some years to develop.  Overall he will be a future NBA All-Star.


Is anyone sweet enough to tell me I forgot XD.

It's a little known fact, but Chris Brown is actually the cousin of everyone on Yahoo! Answers. In fact, the only reason I found this site is because my cousin Chris sent me an email and told me that this is where everyone is hanging out.\n\nClearly, then, you're yet another of Chris Brown's cousins (hi, cousin!) and the best thing to do is just wait until the next Chris Brown's Cousins' Picnic, and you can ask Chris himself. I think it's your turn to bring the potato salad - you may remember that the last picnic didn't turn out that hot when all 311,000 of us brought potato chips - and we didn't even have the originality to buy more than one kind. What a scene, wasn't it? 311,000 bags of Lay's salt and vinegar potato chips piled up and no one thought to bring any other food or drinks at all! And the best part was that no one even liked Salt and Vinegar chips, so we just took turns feeding them to the ducks.\n\nWell, until that one duck started chasing Chris around the parking lot.\n\nWhat a hoot!\n\nSee you at the next picnic, cousin! Don't forget the potato salad.\n\nI was just about to give you Chris Brown's personal email address, but, um...I just remembered that he said not to give you the address until you give him back the power drill you borrowed last winter.\n\nWe have so much fun, we Chris Brown family members!

What are the chances that a marriage will end in divorce? What are the effects of divorce on children and how can parents protect them during and after a divorce?

The effects on children can be bad IF parents act stupid. Remember, they are getting the idea that this is a "normal" relationship. Both parents must NEVER speak negatively about the other parent, no matter how much they can't stand the other one.  The children love both parents and do not want to hear it.  They will not be brainwashed into not liking one parent better.  I've seen it backfire where the child begins resenting the negative parent because they are saying bad things about the other parent.  The children must know they are loved by both parents, and the divorce has nothing to do with them.  Even if you think they know it, reinforce it as much as possible.  Hopefully, the parents will put on a positive, united front for the kids' sake.  Never discuss child support issues in front of the children.  It is not their business and not their responsibility. It can be okay when both parents work together for the best outcome for the kids (i.e. putting the kids before themselves!!).

to a debt collector attorney,so they can garnish my wages for the reposession of a car,now we both have to go to court,

I don't believe they can. The court should be sending a notification to your employer regarding the garnishment, how much, and where to send it, but No, I don't believe it is legal for your HR Department to send out any personal information on you to anyone.

I would like to know if UK holds national-flag-raising ceremony regularly, coz I found that many British don't even know their national anthem.\nIf so, where do British raise their national flag (e.g. in school)? If not, when do they raise their national flag?

No. We're not big on flag waving and dfeinitely not in school. Uniformed youth groups like the Scouts do it. Where did you find Brits that don't know the national anthemn?

he is totally different from school and online. hes so shy at school but online we can talk for hours about nothing and it will be fun and i will feel like ive known him my whole life. what should i do?

Move from online personas to the phone... just tell him one night while you're chatting online that you'd like to hear his voice as he's cracking jokes - makes it more personal. Then from there, you two should be able to slowly move from the phone to in person without too much awkwardness.\n\nSome relationships don't survive the online to face-to-face move... but friendship will always remain if you keep at it. Best of luck!

Hi there,\n\nCan anyone inform me the conversion between Pixel to Centimeter (or vice-versa) please?  I am working with MS Office Picture Manager 2003 and want to crop a picture for printing, but stuck with pixel measurement.  I need to print with cm precision.\nThank you for your help.

You cannot convert from pixel to centimeter. A pixel is a relative, virtual unit of measurement that expands and contracts according to how many points are drawn on one screen. For example, if you set your screen resolution to 1024x768, this means your screen is currently using 1024 x 768 = 786432 channels of color to draw the current view.\n\nUse Adobe photoshop as it allows you to actually set the "actual" number of centimeters of your current photo, by letting you adjust the photo size.

how can i get rid of vgasave on my computer?

You want it gone because you're having trouble installing a new video card I presume? If that's the case, then first make sure you have the correct drivers installed for your motherboard. For some reason this service will sometimes pop up when you don't. It actually is a normal windows service, by the way, you don't want to get rid of it totally. If that doesn't work you can try disabling it long enough to install your new card like this: open the start menu, go to "run" and type in services.msc find it on the list, right click on it and and select "properties". Under startup type, select disabled and restart your pc


Well, I have a crush on this guy and he told me he loved me thru his text. He texted me for weeks and then one day it stopped. He likes to surprise me, by covering my eyes and asking "who is this?" and at one time he hugged me (does he even really mean it? *sigh*). We've known each other for almost 2 years. When he looks at me, I couldn't even look back at him. Argh, what is wrong with me? I just want to ask if he really loves me or he's just giving me false hopes... I hope someone could give me a decent answer.

nope- he doesn't know what he wants and he's too immature it sounds like- I went through the same thing.  Boys can turn on and off emotions in a pinch- (think about a situation where they should be crying, but aren't!  They can control their emotions- even love- better than we can) maybe he had a crush on you at one point, but he's just playing you now


i think her best movie ever is : U STUPID MAN, gimme more titles of movies of her plz..


I am  single, young professional and with my exposures on business I can rate myself on the 3 level when the rating is 1 to 5 for experience. Now now, I wanted to gather some figures on whether I should go on and make a move for food business or have to eye another prospective project. I am passionate eating but havent got the cracks on cooking. I work for certain food chains before as a management trainee. Now I am working in a trading company... tell me your idea... I am most willing to listen.

If you're looking to make your first venture into the business world as an owner, I suggest one of two things:\n\n1) Forget the food business, it's the most complicated industry out there. In no other industry are you expected to be a warehouse and a manufacturer, with parts that are perishable, be a retailer, run a delivery business, and sell service also.\n\n2) If you insist on the food business, especially with no experience, find a very, very well structured franchise to buy into. Forget the cost, it's a drop in the bucket when you weigh out the chances of success or failure compared to trying to build a concept from scratch.\n\nThe risks of getting involved in the food business are evidenced by the failure rate of restaurants. These failure rates don't even take into account all the country club, college and university food services that lose money every year and have to be subsidized by other departments. There are unsubstantiated rumors about the food industry that place failure rates as high as 90% in the first year. Though that is a gross exageration, the failure rate in the restaurant world is high, just ask your banker, accountant or lawyer. They deal with it every day. There's a reason restaurant loans are among the toughest to get approved for. According to a report in Restaurant Startup & Growth magazine, based on information gathered from the National Restaurant Association, it's estimated that around 57% of restaurants don't live past the five year mark. Of these, the main casualties are independent restaurants. While 7 of 10 independent restaurants will likely fail, 7 of 10 franchise restaurants will survive. As there are many, many people out there that don't realize the value that real structure will bring to their restaurant, and increase their chances of survival, the greater number of independent restaurants opening compared to franchise restaurants pushes the total restaurant failure rate to 57%.\n\nMost other businesses contain elements of only one or two different industries. With a simpler business, it is much easier to focus on marketing and growth than with a restaurant. Inside a restaurant, most your day is filled with operational procedures, and you CAN NOT work ON a business if you are working IN the business 60 hours or more a week.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nwww.bodellconsulting.com


I go to school fulltime and work parttime, I would like to quit my job so that I can put all my attention on school and my son. How can I get more money to pay for my living expenses?

I too am a single mother with little extra time on my hands.\nThis may be only a small money fix, but you could try selling on eBay if you have an area of expertise or product you can make easily.\nI sell reproduction doll parts that I make at home.\nThey take only about an hour or two out of my week to make, and I can resubmit the same auction over and over again once my dutch auctions sell out.\nwith the extra money I make I am able to pay my bills on time at the very least.\nThere are also people I see who are selling information like  recipes or or instruction on how to do things.\nThese are great for the seller because when a customer purchases them through paypal the seller can then just email the information to the buyer. No shipping involved at all.\nI hope this proves to be help full information\nHave a great Day and good luck on your quest.


The best way to find bookstores that have or could get 17th, 18th, or 19th century books.  For example, I'd like to find a copy of the Iliad or Odyssey in Greek or Latin.

I have lived in Europe, and old books are not commonplace over there, either.  Probably your best bet would be Haye-on-Wye, a village full of used book stores that specialize in old and academically oriented books.  That is in Wales.  If that is not feasible, I would suggest Stillwater.  They have three stores held by the same man, and he deals a lot with the older stuff.  I have no doubt you could find what you need there.


eg april 17 is monday in 2006 what day will it be in 2007?

As there are 365 days in a year (365 and 1/4 to be exact) the time does not allow for the year to allow a true division of a seven day week as a whole number as there are 52 weeks (364 days) and 1 1/4 days in a year. Each year, therefore the day and date of a corresponding date in the current year would advance by one. Thus April 17th 2006 is Monday but in 2007 will be a Tuesday. As the spare 1/4 days add up we put an extra day every four years in February, numbering it 29 so that the calender's equilibrium is preserved. Such years are known as 'Leap Years' because we 'leap' a day. Days and dates would follow the ordinary pattern except that days after 28th February in a Leap Year would advance by two so if this year was a Leap Year (which it isn't) then April 17th next year would be a Wednesday.

Why shouldn't caffeine effect plants?  Plants are living, just like humans, plants have hormones that determines its growth development.  Caffeine effects humans, so why shouldn't it effect plants?  \n\nPlants do not have a nervous system because what do plants do?  They just sit.  Due to this, plant growth and development is strictly based on the secretion of different hormones, which is why it takes them so long to respond to the outer environment.  Although some plants can immediately respond to a brush of a wind (Mimosa pudica), most like household plants move very slowly.  When given a substance like caffeine or steroids, it can have devastating effects.  In a human, caffeine simply goes to a neuron and basically occupies the Ca receptor and stimulates our muscles by keeping the flow of action potentials constant non-stop for a period of time.  A constant consumption of caffeine will result in a dead neuron, you will basically over work the neuron.  In a plant, the caffeine does not have a place to dock.  Instead, it messes up the different hormones or docks in crucial receptors that are needed for growth.  If the receptor is blocked, then the hormones cannot be expressed, causing a change in the growth pattern of the plant.  I mean, if caffeine is able to outcompete our natural signals, then it for sure can knock out a plants signal to grow in the right manner.

My English teacher need me to give a presentation on one foreign(non-Chinese) culture. I choose the country Australia. So what should I talk about? I mean, what's the most fantastic thing about the culture?

It is called the Lucky Country and the Land of Plenty.\n\nIt is one of the most democratic country in the world.  All people are equal.  It is tolerant.  It embraces all cultures, bending backwards taking all from anywhere!\n\nIt allows some ethnic women fully clothed in their black religious attire to submerge themselves in public pools where their own people must follow the rules and wear proper swim attire.\n\nIt provides free interpreters and translators to tell the government that it suxs (first time I use this expression- cool!). and they want equal rights. \nIt can have all 4 seasons at one time across the massive continent.  \n\nYou have chosen a fantastic country to present to your culture.  You should surf the net for more info.


He died on September 4, 1964.  Not sure how.  Probably old age since he was 80.


What books, references, and websites should I check out?  How much cash to start?

'John Blaze' is full of sh*t; you don't need $25K to daytrade. Open a brokerage account. Study John Murphy, "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets". Don't trust money managers; they will rip you off. Take control of your money. Find a stock that has huge price swings daily or weekly such as Juniper Networks or Redback Networks. These are high 'beta' stocks. Depending on your age, part of your portfolio should be speculative. If you are in your 20s and your portfolio is less than 100K, then definitely you should be using your knowledge and investing in high beta stocks to profit greatly from their daily and weekly price swings. You have the years to do that. 'Short' the stock when it goes down, and go 'Long' when it goes up. As your portfolio grows to a couple Mil or so, then you can pull back and put some of it in stuff that is a little lower beta such as the QQQ. As an example of how well you can do by taking control of your money: if just do your normal 1% per day on that 100K porfolio over a year through profiting from the swings, how much would you have after one year? You got it my friend, way over $$$1Mil!! Give it whorl, go for it!


What's your favorite pig-out food?  Mine's Dibs, but I need to find something low-fat for at night, when I feel like bingeing.  I need to squeeze into a smaller dress size for my son's graduation in June.

I love chips and junkie snack foods but i'm on a diet so i've been finding alternatives\n\nVeggie chips taste great and have much less fat than your average potato chip. (read the labels though..some have just as many calories as regular chips!!)\n\nIf you have a sweet tooth try dipping fruit in fat free yogurt\n\nAlso, to try and avoid bingeing, chew ice, try boullion cubes (only 5 calories and the warm soup-like quality fills you up), sleep, excercise, do your hair or makeup, clean up (i recommend a nasty job like picking up dog poo..definitely turns you off of eating) anything to get your mind off eating\n\nalso, try brushing your teeth with a strong mint tooth paste...it makes lots of foods taste nasty\n\nGood luck!!


I think there are two basic answers to this depending on your body type.\n\nIf you're fat, lose weight first.  If you don't have time to excersize (actually adopting an active lifestyle is better) and have only time to sit in front of a TV playing video games, you're out of luck...no solution.  Dieting (other than a permanent change in eating habits) will have little to no lasting effect.  The lasting effect is necessary to flatten those abs.  Once you have gotten your permanent weight under control then do the next step.\n\nIf you are skinny but out of shape and have flabby or no abs then the idea of doing crunches or sit-ups or any consistent toning excersizes will work.  Anything that repeatedly contracts your abdominals will be money-in-the-bank.  You could just get up 30 minutes earlier in the morning and do some CV (Cardio-Vascular) work--like running a little--just before your shower.  As you build up your running time, your energy will increase and you'll lose weight and have flat abs.\n\nIf you're looking for a pill to give you flat abs -- fat chance.  Once a pill is developed to create self-disipline or perfect bodies out of couch potatoes the developer will become rich beyond current measures (current world billionaires will be jealous or a part of it).  \n\nIf someone promises this to you today just take a look at what their motives are...what do they have to gain by telling you that such a thing exists?  If they are just giving you free information then fine.  If they are taking orders--your money back if not fully satisfied-- then run.  Literally, run.  It's a much more effective choice, it's free and you'll make time if it's really important to you.


i've been working alot and need something that will make me look firmer on my face but, my eyes are fine!


Hi there.  Im a 25 year old woman and a virgin.  Is it wierd that i think about sex all the time?? I really want to have sex, but am really, really, uncomfortable with my body.  Any suggestions??

I just love how everyone assumes that weight is the problem.\n\nAnyways, it's perfectly normal to think about sex all the time, especially if you've never experienced it. I suggest that you try playing with yourself. It'll force you to get more confortable with your body.


This girl that I really like now hates my guts. I want what we had back, so please help my with suggestions and thanks.

Well, I don't think you should really do anything. I think dislike is a natural emotion that can not be forced or really changed. I am a young girl myself, and I was in a relationship for a long time. I really didn't like the guy I was dating, but didn't break up with him for many reasons. But I really did despise him secretley. After that I realized I couldn't stand anything about him. I tried to make myself like him but I just couldn't. I broke up with him, and he tried to win be back. BUT I HATED HIM! So really nothing was going to work.\n\nSometime that just happens. You could try buying her flowers and all of that but I don't think any of it will work. My advice for you- move on.


However, when I was single I didn't have a problem with random sex. Now that I'm with my partner I can't have sex with my partner,\nDue to my beliefs I have reaquainted with.\n1. If you were my partner how would you feel?\n2. If you were my partner what would you do?

Fuck the belief have sex rip her close off play with her boobs lick her pussy have fun!!!!!


If you are tell what you like or dislike the most!\n\nFor me it's the baby of the family line that is always used to indentify who I am.

I am the youngest of four, although 2 have since passed away. I was in a unique position because my parents were away from each other for many years. My oldest sister was 16 when I was born, my brother nearly 10, and my other sister almost 6. As a result, I didn't get to play with them as such, but they did become surrogate parents especially as my parents got older and less energetic. I was pretty well raised by them. My parents provided financial and physical support, but my siblings were the ones I went to with my problems. I don't think I grew up spoiled, I had to compete with nieces and nephews from an early age. As the youngest, the tables are turned now and my elderly parents need me. I still have the stamina I might not have had if I were older.


This is for an online Master's program I am taking. Thank you for your help.

There's the old "divide up the work and combine them later so that I can go back to sleep" method.  Or the "let's have everyone work on one part of the project at the same time right now so we can discuss" method.\n\nWhen the group is actually together, I'm guessing it's most productive to have an agenda so the team doesn't get sidetracked.  Then, have a sort of group leader make sure everyone contributes and stays on the agenda.


makeout if u cant go into ure own home (with ur parents home) to do it???????? Help?! but not in public & nothing else but makeout????

behind a building...the guys house maybe....or either of your backyards...if you have like, national parks or hilly areas anywhere near you those places are good to, because they're usually very empty...like, bring a picnic, but don't actually use the picnic...just makeout...but you can mnakeout on the blanket, lol


I have prom in a month and I don't want to lose my tan after I get my tattoo.  Is there a possible way to simply cover it up while you're tanning?

You need to make sure that your tat is COMPLETELY healed before going....if it is, put the highest SPF you can find on it and bandage it with the non-stick gauze (curad works the best) and tape....Make sure it is completely covered so you don't lose the color...if it gets too hot or you can feel it burning, either put a towel over it or get out!!Good Luck!!


as we go on in the desert we find that there is water available but it is just the shadow formed, what do we call this imaginary shadow formed in the desert?


our brain is part of our body and it controls mostly all of our actions, the other part of our brain can control things such as our heart beating and more complicated stuff..but can we send a message to our brain to do something? such as heal faster by telling our brain to tell our cells to do something? its hard to explain but if you do understand what im getting at post a response..just curious.

You're referring to mind over matter and/or biofeedback. Anything is possible when it comes to the mind and body. Even science doesn't know our true potential yet. The smartest of humans only ever use approximately 30% of their total brain power. There is so much untapped power in our minds that it will never be assessed in out lifetime.


I have a friend who hails from a poor family and wants to pursue higher studies. We are looking for some financial assistance for him, he does not want to take money from us though. Can anybody help. He has completed 10th standard.

First let me suggest that your friend should complete his 12th in India and then proceed on this venture.It is easier to get a visa for undergraduate / graduate studies than for lower classes.\nSecondly he should have good academics and test scores in order to be considered for merit scholarship.Need based aid or FAFSA is not available for International students.\nI have discussed this matter earlier in Yahoo Answers:\n\nHere are some American universities known to offer Financial help to international students applying for undergraduate programs.

YHVH Hebrew name for God of creation.  There are no vowels in hebrew.  The Jews did not pronounce name because of it being sacred, however, they knew what vowel sounds to use based on sentence structure and context.  The Masoretes in 6th through the 10th century added a system of vowel points to Hebrew language for pronunciation.  but because the name YHVH (v pronounce between v and w), was sacred they took the vowel points from the word Adonay (the a the o and the a) and combined it with the name YHVH and came up with YaHoVaH.  Since there was no such word in Hebrew, the Maoretes knew the reader would be forced to pause and reflect on the idea that it was the sacred name.  Christians believed this was a Hebrew word--put it in their bible name of God.  During reformation Germans changed Y to J, "Jahovah" and later the English Jehovah. from a deliberately concocted word by Masoretes to protect sacrd name using Adonay vowel points combined with YHWH (accurately pronounced Yahweh

It is true that the Almighty did not say, "Listen, thousands of years from now when a new language called English comes along, they can pronounce my name as 'Jehovah' and that's fine."\n\nInstead, like with any and every personal name, different languages TRANSLATE personal names to fit their lingual tendencies. George becomes "Hor-hey" in Spanish or "Gay-org" in German and no one gets upset.\n\nAs another answer mentions, the same people who get all upset about translating the Hebrew name 'Yahweh' or 'Yehowah' into English as 'Jehovah' have absolutely no such qualms about translating the Hebrew name 'Yeshua' into English as 'Jesus'!\n\nIf you don't like the English translation, no one is telling you that you can't use the Hebrew original of the divine name.


i want to start a chelter out of the coubtry for children that have no parents or anybody to take care of them. I want to know what are the steps into taking such action, where do i begin and what do i need to get it started.

I would think that it would depend on the country where you wanted to set up the orphanage. Try contacting the local government, or contact a church or other charitable organization for advice.

Theories of Solutions : Excess functions (and consequently activity coefficients)\ncan be obtained from equations of state. However, this approach has limited\npractical applicability.\n· Lattice Models :\nLiquid is considered to be a quasicrystalline state with molecules arranged in a\nregular array. Mixing two different liquid to obtain a solution results in the\nentropy of mixing (as lattice structure is altered) and enthalpy of mixing (due to\nintermolecular forces). The potential energy of the system is obtained by pairwise\naddition of all molecular pairs considering only the nearest neighbors. An\nexpression for Helmholtz energy can be derived in terms of the interchange\nenergy (w) which arises when a molecule of one component in the lattice is\nreplaced by the molecule of the second component. The interchange energy is\ndependent upon the difference in the potential energies of pairs 1-2, 1-1 and 2-2\n(for a binary mixture of 1 and 2). For a regular solution the excess Gibbs energy is\nequal to excess Helmholtz energy, leading to a method for calculation of activity\ncoefficients. The interchange energy can be calculated from potential functions\nand molecular properties, primarily for mixtures of nonpolar molecules similar in\nsize. This approach is not very useful for mixtures having additional complexities.\n· Non-random Mixtures:\nA solution is essentially non-random in nature as in most cases intermolecular\nforces for different compounds are not identical. So in a binary mixture of 1 and\n2, molecules of 1 either prefer 2 or 1 as immediate neighbors. The solution has\ncertain order to it resulting in sE < 0. A quasichemical theory for such solutions\ncan be developed by writing an equilibrium constant expression for the formation\nof complex 1–2 from molecules of 1 and 2. The equilibrium constant is related to\nthe interchange energy w, leading to expressions for excess Helmholtz energy,\nexcess entropy and excess Gibbs energy.\n· Two-Liquid Theory:\nSince the solutions are essentially non-random, they can be thought of as\ncomprised of 2 (or more) hypothetical fluids depending upon the nature of\ninteraction between the solution components. The thermodynamic properties of\nthe solution are then mole fraction weighted averages of the properties of the\nhypothetical fluids. Area fractions and volume fractions can be defined for each\nhypothetical fluid, and expressions developed for the excess properties of the\nsolution. The UNIQUAC equation, developed on the basis of two- liquid theory is\nquite successful, however, it may over-correct for non-randomness of the\nsolution.\n· Group Contribution Methods\nActivity coefficients can be calculated for various mixtures by considering\nindividual molecules to be comprised of different functional groups. The number\nof distinct functional groups (methyl, methylene, hydroxyl, etc.) is relatively\nsmall compared to the number of distinct compounds. The interaction between\nvarious compounds is obtained by contributions of the functional group\ninteraction for the compounds. ASOG (analytical solution of groups) and\nUNIFAC (universal functional activity coefficient) are two group contribution\nmethods that are quite useful. Group contribution methods are very rapid,\nhowever, they may not necessarily be accurate. The results of the group\ncontribution methods need to be compared with experimental data for validation.\n· Chemical Theory of Non- ideality of Liquid Solutions:\nThe non- ideality of the solutions is due to formation of new species by the\nreactions of the components. These reactions may be associations of a single\ncomponent (dimmer, trimer, polymer formation) or solvation (interactions of two\nor more components, e.g. complexation). These species are at chemical\nequilibrium with each other and form ideal solutions. Therefore, the behavior of\nthe solution can be described if the “true” composition of the solution is\ndetermined. If z1 and z2 are


Who wasn't enslaved by religion is my question. Most religions don't promote free-thinking. Being a slave in your mind is worse than being a physical slave. So even though African-Americans became Christian it didn't destroy their culture or their traditions, in fact it strengthend them and made them better. They knew they were invincible as long as they worshipped. So in a way, Christianity never really enslaved the African-Americans, it instead gave them a legit way to promote song and dance! Before that, they were whipped and beaten for singing and the like...


I'm in a relationship with someone, and she has a hard time talking about her problems. She's convinced that she can handle it completely on her own, even though she knows that I WANT to help her (she's helped me a lot in the past). But she doesn't even want to think about getting help about personal issues. She stays quiet until she fixes or gets over it, so I only find out after the fact.\nAnd the reverse is true to some effect, I'm going to visit her (long distance relationship) and she INSISTS that I get a hotel room, even though we've known eachother for 4 years (most people who have been friends for that long would let them crash on the couch).\nIs there some way to break her out of this rut of self-relance? (and I don't want it completely the other way either, but there has to be a balance somewhere)

All I can tell you is...Good Luck ! I'm very similar to the person you have described. Except, I would have allowed you to crash on my couch. I believe what makes us that way is because we never really had anyone that we trusted enough, to really let ourselves open up and lean on them. Sometimes it's a good thing and other times it feels like a curse. I don't think you per say can break her out of this, but don't give up on her. It's just something that she has to acknowledge and work on every day.


I can't imagine what blind people see...they have to see something... maybe just blackness?

Assuming they are completely blind, it's like having no eyes at all, in which case they would "see" nothingness.  Blackness would indicate an ability for your eyes to pick up at least some form of light, and completely blind people can't pick up any forms of light at all.


The country is located near the North Pole.

It is (I know this for sure, because I am going there this summer) happening in British Columbia, Canada. More specifically, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. There are numerous mountains for the downhill (skiing and snowboarding) events to take place at. The indoor events (ice skating, curling, etc.)- as well as the opening/ closing ceremonies- will happen right in Vancouver. I'm not sure where the nordic, and other outdoor events will happen, but probably just outside the city. They have really great facilities everywhere, so even though they have a lot of work to do, they already have a great head start. Also, I know from experience, the village at Whistler/ Blackcomb are great "tourist" attractions, and there is a great deal to do right in Vancouver.

Would it help the welfare system if people who were once on welfare and are now fully employed have to repay some of what they used?  Just the same as child support does..state issued wage withholding order?  Why it is that just men have to repay the welfare through child support?  Why is it that those who have worked have to pay for the welfare benefits of others?  If a single mother becomes pregnant and knew she didn't have a job or any insurance, shouldn't she be made to seek employment and help repay the welfare that she needed?

I think it would definitely help if people repaid the welfare system once they could afford to(voluntarily), what people should remember is that they're not paying it back to help the government, they're paying it back to help those in need who are now in a situation that they were once in themselves. I think that it's appalling that only men have to pay back welfare, in Australia it's a little more even.


lungs collapse and people recover right? how does the structure that collapsed build back up...why do they collapse in the first place/ what does it really mean when your lungs collapse?

First of all, when you think of lung collapse it isn't the entire organ that collapses. There are tiny air sacs in the lung called Alveloi. There are numbers of these alveloi in your lung. Everybody has some of these air sacs collapsed all the time. It is very small and doesn't effect everyday life.\n\nThere are many reasons that can cause the lung to collapse. Trauma, post surgery, pneumonia or other pulmonary infections, masses or tumors, air or fluid between the chest wall and the lung. \n\nThe reason that they can 'build back up' is that the alveloi are like balloons. If you can get air back into the air sacs with breathing exercises and other measures then they open back up.\n\nHope this helps


me only 3 days,then withdrawls hit me.How can I relieve the pain of withdrawl?

You need to bring this to attention of your physician and I can;t believe that your pharmacy has not caught on to this.  Most physicians also will realize when a patient begins to overuse their daily doses and if your physician has never brought this over usage to your attention than I suggest you speak to him and let him know what predicament you are in.  I took pain medications for many years and I became addicted and no one saw it around me.  It is the most painful of all things I ever had to do because I was diagnosed with a disease and I needed that relief.  It has been almost 6 years and I havent treated my pain with anything but advil, tylenol and the odd pain pill given to me by the hospital when I deem necessary.  I took over 100 prescibed pain pills a week.  It wasn't until I had pain that I was medicating myself for that almost killed me and sent me into emergency surgery that I realized what I had done.  You need to get help!  If you don't get help, you will only need more and one day, you won't get them.  You risk your own life each day by what you are doing.  If you take it for that pain that it wasn't precribed for it will hurt you.  And if your pain doesn't seem better, you will need more and eventually, your body won't tolerate it and you will have to move on to another pain medication.  It may take away your pain and give you that euphoric "everything feels good" sensation...but it won't in time.


Girls: If your partner (boyfriend) wanted to dress him as a girl, would you and how far would you go? Would you also let your girlfriends "play" with him?

Personally, cross dressing is not what sexually turns me on. I've played with male friends who were into it and had a blast with them (shopping, dressing up, going out, etc). \n\nI would do the same with my boyfriend, IF he were otherwise pleasing me sexually and making the same effort to cater to my "fetishes".

If you were pregnant and you were sent to a concentration camp what would happen to you and your unborn baby?

Concentration camp?  Are there such things these days?  If not, your question goes back a ways.  Many people have been born in captivity, in the course of time.  Sometimes they survive, and sometimes they do not.  The Nazi concentration camps were especially brutal, however.  Many babies were taken away to be used in "medical experiments."  I seriously hope there is nothing like that still going on in this world!

A need may not get created, but mktg can surface an underlying need...\nFor example, when u go to a carnival, u may not have planned what to do there and which joy rides u may take. But u do carry money for any impulse purchase like a fluff candy or a joy ride. Mktg there surfaces ur need.\nAnother example: Insurance may not be an overt need for people, noone insured 150 years back. But marketings role is to ensure that this underlying need is brought to the fore.

I am doing a project on the stetoscope and am not finding the relevant infomation.

Stethoscope \nDefinition \nThe stethoscope is an instrument used for auscultation, or listening to sounds produced by the body. It is used primarily to listen to the lungs, heart, and intestinal tract. It is also used to listen to blood flow in peripheral vessels and the heart sounds of developing fetuses in pregnant women.\n\n\n\nPurpose \nA stethoscope is used to detect and study heart, lung, stomach, and other sounds in adult humans, human fetuses, and animals. Using a stethoscope, the listener can hear normal and abnormal respiratory, cardiac, pleural, arterial, venous, uterine, fetal and intestinal sounds.\n\n\n\nDemographics \nAll health care providers and students learn to use a stethoscope.\n\n\n\nDescription \nStethoscopes vary in their design and material. Most are made of Y-shaped rubber tubing. This shape allows sounds to enter the device at one end, travel up the tubes and through to the ear pieces. Many stethoscopes have a two-sided sound-detecting device or head that listeners can reverse, depending on whether they need to hear high or low frequencies. Some newer models have only one pressure-sensitive head. The various types of instruments include: binaural stethoscopes, designed for use with both ears; single stethoscopes, designed for use with one ear; differential stethoscopes, which allow listeners to compare sounds at two different body sites; and electronic stethoscopes, which electronically amplify tones. Some stethoscopes are designed specifically for hearing sounds in the esophagus or fetal heartbeats.\n\n\n\nDiagnosis/Preparation \nTraining\n\nStethoscope users must learn to assess what they hear. When listening to the heart, one must listen to the left side of the chest, where the heart is located. Specifically, the heart lies between the fourth and sixth ribs, almost directly below the breast. The stethoscope must be moved around. A health care provider should listen for different sounds coming from different locations. The bell (one side of the head) of the instrument is generally used for listening to low-pitched sounds. The diaphragm (the other side of the head) of the instrument is used to listen to different areas of the heart. The sounds from each area will be different. "Lub-dub" is the sound produced by the normal heart as it beats. Every time this sound is detected, it means that the heart is contracting once. The noises are created when the heart valves click to close. When one hears "lub," the atrioventricular valves are closing. The "dub" sound is produced by the pulmonic and aortic valves. Other heart sounds, such as a quiet "whoosh," are produced by "murmurs." These sounds are produced when there are irregularities in the path of blood flow through the heart. The sounds reflect turbulence in normal blood flow. If a valve remains closed rather than opening completely, turbulence is created and a murmur is produced. Murmurs are not uncommon; many people have them and are unaffected. They are frequently too faint to be heard and remain undetected.\n\nThe lungs and airways require different listening skills from those used to detect heart sounds. The stethoscope must be placed over the chest, and the person being examined must breathe in and out deeply and slowly. Using the bell, the listener should note different sounds in various areas of the chest. Then, the diaphragm should be used in the same way. There will be no wheezes or crackles in normal lung sounds.\n\nCrackles or wheezes are abnormal lung sounds. When the lung rubs against the chest wall, it creates friction and a rubbing sound. When there is fluid in the lungs, crackles are heard. A high-pitched whistling sound called a wheeze is often heard when the airways are constricted.\n\nWhen the stethoscope is placed over the upper left portion of the abdomen, gurgling sounds produced by the stomach and small intestines can usually be heard just below the ribs. The large intestines in


How do porn stars ejaculate so much?  Is it true they use suppliments such as volume pills, or is it fake in order to sell placebos that cost $60?  I heard somewhere that sperm travels out of the penis at 100MPH? Sounds like bull.  But mine dribbles out? About 1 tsp... Am I normal.... Should I even think about these things??  And lastly does it matter to you girls how much a guy cums???

no honey i dont matter most guys dribble you just havnt had any one make you BLOW!!!!yet with porn stars though some yes can ejaculate like that but mostly its fake! just like the ladies boobs lol \n;0 \nhope i help ya honey:)SArah

I like most of the mexican people i have met. They are hard workers who only want to get ahead in life. I think we should welcome them with open arms. If i was in ther places i would hope i would have the courage to do what they are doing.

The only thing that I have to say is this- EVERYONE should have a right to live where they want to live, EVERYONE should have the freedom that we Americans take for granted and if that means opening the borders than I am all for it, they want the same things we want a honest living a happy healthy family and the right to live in freedom. But unfortunately we live in a greedy world where people are going to do whatever they can, to stop this from happening, it is sad.


supposed you've seen a nice outfit in a mall worth $97.  You borrowed 50 from your mom and another 50 from you dad so you have $100 now. You bought the outfit.  You still got $3 dollar change.  You returned a dollar to your mom so you still owe her $49.  You gave another dollar to your dad so you still owe him $49.  The other dollar left is in you.  Here's the problem.  49 + 49 = 98  +  dollar that's in you = $99.  Why is it $99 only?  It should have been $100 right?  Where's the dollar?

the other dollar is in your pocket.... you spent $97 dollars and had 3 dollars change... you payed back $2. of the $100.  you spent $97..... no matter how you look at it you had $3. and if you payed back 2 of the $3. the other Dollar is in your pocket.  the equation is 100. - 97 = 3 then 3 - 2 = 1 the dollar is in your pocket


I have been with my boyfriend for a year and I really love him. But many time I ma not sure about my feelings for him. I can find him annoying or I am not sure he is the one for me. But sometimes I am not sure Ilove him then I see him with one of his female workmate and I'm so scared of loosing him I want to sacream to the world how much I love him. Is this normal?

Well its normal it happens many time maybe to everyone....\nits coz when u 2 r together u know tht now this person is urs n u dont worry of loosin him n try to tell him his faults or start findin sumthins which r not agreeable to u. n u then start thinkin do i seriously love this guy???

Just curious if they work or not. I have to spend the night and they test my sleeping patterns I guess.  Just a little nervous.

I went to a sleep clinic and it was much easier to initially fall asleep than I firt thought it would be.  They do attach electrodes to your skin, but it doesn't hurt.  It can be cold if they keep it the standard 68 degrees in the hospital.  Just lie back, relax, and don't pick your nose, people are watching.  Depending on how you do, it is likely they will wake you in the middle of the night and have you wear a CPAP machine, which blows air in your nose to keep your nostrils and upper respiratory tract from closing.  At first it will seem like an enormous amount of air, but you will get used to it.  In all probability, if you've made it this far, you'll be diagnosed.  Getting used to the CPAP at home isn't too bad, and the degree to which your life will improve is significant.  The two or three years I spent just prior to being diagnosed with apnea, people thought I was stoned all the time, as I was always falling asleep in inapproriate places.  My attention span was low.  Anything comfortable at all made me wnat to close my eyes and snooze.  While you first get adjusted to the CPAP, you will only sleep a few hours a night because your body will getthe amount of rest it's used to in that amount of time.  Over time however, your body will become accustomed to more rest and you will sleep through the night.


Someone is involved in SI (self injury) but relitives are insensitive and believe that its just being dramiatic.

Self injury or deliberate self harm (DSH) is a way of expressing emotions that they cannot put into words. Some people self harm for years without people knowing, these people DO NOT do it for attention but to personally and privately express their inner turmoil. There are people who do it as a way of gaining attention and yes this is a typical symptom of a borderline personality but they should not be judged for that. The reason why an individual self-harms is an outward way of showing that they are in distress and need help and that they are having difficulty coping. People who self-harm dont want to die, its actually a way for them to stay alive. However self-harm behaviour can escalate to suicidal behaviour. I suggest that you recommend that the individual goes and sees there family doctor for a referal to a psychiatrist or psychologist for dialietical behavioural therapy. It must be stated that too much attention can re-enforce a person self-harming behaviour, so be careful how you respond to the self-harm. Good luck!


this the ways in which media educations has contribited to the effectiveness of teaching ad leaning

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.


Has anyone else had an allergic reactin to Lovenox? I read online that it contains swine intestine, and I am sensitive to pork products, but I never have this bad of a reaction. My stomach where I get the shots at first turned purple, then got hard and red, which is now a rash that is spreading. I wont see my doctor until Monday, but she is just internal medicine and does not have much experience with blood thinners. Should I see a specialist, a hematologist maybe? Any other suggestions, or comments about lovenox?

I took lovenox for about 6 months and would occasionally have this same reaction.  It wasn't an allergic reaction but it was uncomfortable.  Have you tried heparin?  (Yes, you should see a hematologist.)\n\nGood luck!


find the tension in the supporting cable,if after it was moving downward at 30m/s,it's brought to rest with const.acc.in a distance of 20m.With what force will the feet of the passenger press downward on the elevator floor,when the elevator has an acc.of 30m/s2 upward,if the passenger weighs,a.)16N;b.)640N;c.)64N?

For the first problem, you need a law of motion. (final velocity)^2=(initial velocity)^2+2*acceleration*displacement. Substituting, you get 0=30^2+2*a*20m and a=22.5 m/s^2. Now, we need to write a force equation: ma=Tension force-weight. To find the mass of the elevator and its load, divide its weight by gravity (9.8 m/s^2) to get about 16.3 kg. And you already calculated the net acceleration. Our force equation can now be rewritten as (16.3 kg)*(22.5 m/s^2)=Tension force-160N. The tension force is about 207N.\n\nFor each of the weight scenarios in the second problem, you know the net acceleration to be 30 m/s^2. You can also find the mass of the passenger by dividing his/her weight by gravity. With the force equation ma=(force of feet up)-(weight) with respect to the passenger, you can find the force of his/her feet. Here is the work for the first scenario.\n\n16N/(9.8 m/s^2)=1.63 kg\n1.63 kg*30 m/s^2=(force of feet)-16N\nForce of feet=64.9N\n\nAnswers for the second and third scenario:\nb) 2600N\nc) 260N


Who will win the World Snooker title on Monday?\nWhat will be the score?\n10 points for the person who can guess the winner AND who gets the closest to the final score (best of 35 = 18 frames win).\nhttp://www.worldsnooker.com

Gragham Dot. The way he played this afternoon against O'Sullivan was amazing. I think it will be close. He will beat Ebdon 18-14. Ebdon has his form too early in the competition.


Everytime I try to workout in the morning I feel sick.  I want to do it in a short time frame, so I dont want to eat before I start. I still feel sick though while I am working out, and dont feel like Im getting a good workout.

if you are waking up earlier then you ever have to workout, you may just not be used to it yet.  if you have been at it for a while already (months) then it could be your diet.  if you eat late keep it clean (low fat ,low sugar, low carb).  make sure you drink plenty of water before, during and after your workouts.  also consider the fact some people just arent made for morning workouts...i'm not, i get a better workout, physically and mentally, in the later part of the day.  there are benefits to a.m. workouts, but do whats best for you to reach your goals


whay do people think of them what do they want people to think of them.

You might be referring to what the name actually means.  Most names of NFL teams came from contests, where local fans would submit a name and a reason.\n\nThis particular name was chosen from a schoolteacher in Atlanta, 'Miss Julia Elliott, was selected winner because of her reasons: "The falcon is proud and dignified, with great courage and fight. It never drops prey. It is deadly and has a great sporting tradition."'  This was in 1965.\n\nThey have only recently (1998) made the Super Bowl for the first time, and the general sentiment about them is not that they are a powerhouse team in the NFL.  But they have had vey competitive seasons lately, and they are certainly currently on the way to forging their name amongst the elite teams.\n\nAs far as what they want people to think, I think only that they are fierce competitors with a lot of southern pride.


Say I downloaded limewire, found out it slows up my computer. If I deleted the limewire file, would it restore my computer to its normal speed?

There a lot of reasons your computer can get slow.\n\nIt can get slow if you are running out of disk space or if limewire is running in the background taking up CPU cycles. Uninstalling it will fix this.\n\nYou can also clear out your Internet Cache to free up disk space. This is in the Internet Explorer "Tool: Internet Options". Menu. Select "Delete Files".\n\nAnother problem is temporary files that never get deleted. I've seen thousands of files left around in the temporary folder. You can clean this up by clicking on the Start button and selecting "All Programs : Accessories : System Tools : Disk Cleanup". CAUTION: This tool will offer to do a lot more than it should. Only select the following. Make sure everything else is unselected.\n\n   "Downloaded Programs"\n   "Temporary Internet Files"\n   "Recycle Bin"\n   <anything with the words 'log' or 'temporary.>\n\nChances are you also have adware or spyware, or even viruses on your computer slowing it down. A friend of mine has a computer that was so infected it took 10 minutes just to start up.\n\nYou should install a good virus scanning program. If you already have one, make sure it is up to date. The virus scanner I use on my home computer is AVG. Best of all, it's free for home use.\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nNext, a good adware/spyware scanner if Microsoft Defender. Again, this is free (for the time being).\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\n\nA problem with both Microsoft Defender and AVG is they schedule a scan of your computer every night by default. This is a bad thing because it will put way too much wear-and-tear on your computer. Turn off any scheduled scans.\n\nAnother good spyware scanner (again free) is AdAware.\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nFinally, and this one is a difficult one to fix, you probably have a bunch of stuff auto-starting that shouldn't. For example QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat and RealAudio, Microsoft Office, all install little programs that automatically start when your computer starts. These programs are supposed to make the companies main program start up quicker. They load a part of the main program in memory so the next time you want to run Acrobat it runs quicker. The problem is, it uses up your RAM and makes everything else run slower. You can use a special program named MSCONFIG to fix this. You can also use a program called HijackThis which you can download from the web. The problem with these tools is you need to know what should automatically start with your computer, and what shouldn't.\n\nAlso, if you have popups that pop up when you aren't even browsing or when you are at a webpage that shouldn't have popups, your computer has been hijacked by spyware. The only way to get rid of this is to use HijackThis. Download it from the web and have it generate a log file. Then post the log file here (or send me a message with it).\n\nBTW, eMule is much better than limewire and doesn't have spyware.\nhttp://www.emule-project.net/


If you shave daily.. it irritates your skin.\nIf you wax.. you need to let your hair "grow" for a few weeks..which kinda sux if u live with a guy\nwhich regimen is better for someone who has dark hair?

I dont wax, and if i shave too often my skin gets irritated, so i wait a few days, let the hairs grow a bit...\nmy guy doesnt complain about it, so it cant be all that bad... ;o)


So, if I were to do a 40-day solid food fast (for the means of a political protest), what would I need to do to maintain myself for those 40 days.

hehe fluids what else??  ok Orange juice, mo Red Bull plz, smoothies, shakes, coconut water,water with lemon and honey, fresh fruit juices, change fruits, vegetable juices NO V8, daily multi vitamins, put some protein powder.......but whatever you do nothing comes close to FOOD. You will be hungry first week and then hunger will slowly vanish but you must keeo your fluids intake a lot or you shall grow weak.


That way they can regroup and rebuild their forces, so that next time they attack our country 9/11 will seem like we got off easy.  We should stop trying to regulate the world, they only hate us and believe its religiously right for them to kill us, but its not like they will actully do it, right?

The only ones who can end the war are the terrorists themselves until we eradicate them all !

Possibly Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman


For instance, during marriage annullment proceedings in the Catholic church, the spouses in question must pay the church...much like you would pay a lawyer for a divorce.  But, if the sacaraments are the very components of salvation, why do you pay money to erase one?

Hmm, good question.\n\nI seem to recall a passage in the Bible about Jesus throwing moneychangers and salesmen out of the temple... apparently their presence in the house of God offended His son.\n\nThere does seem to be a conflict of interest present between the Catholic Church (RCC) and God's Word.  Then again, the RCC's leader, the pope, said that the Bible was something that the average person shouldn't worry too much about, and to just accept whatever the RCC said instead.  \n\nYeah.


I am a christain who finds the very idea of brokeback mountian very offensive. just the thought that it would even win any awards. to me it shows just how immoral america is becoming.  i refuse to watch the movie and encourage other christians not to indulge in it either.  what is your opinion? serious answers only please.

i agree, Americans are becoming more and more accepting of indeciency and immorality - we see entertainment continuously pushing the lines of what is tolerable with endless shows centering about being homosexual, shorter and fewer clothes, purposeless living, etc. i am not saying that these shows should be banned or anything, but simply that they have devolped a sickingly wide audience and illustrate how low we are sinking as a society


We are currently using an online bill payment company which charges a fee for taking payments.  We act as a local payment station.  We set the service price, but not all of the bills are accepted by the online payment company.  We want to know if we can use a business bank account and take payments ourselve and use our online banking to pay the bills.  Does anyone know if this is possible or what it might take to make sure everything is done in a legal manor so as to not run into problems?

Speak to the online bill payment company to see if that is acceptable, or contract with the individual companies the bills are from, to be a local payment station for them.

I really do wanna lose weight... I imagine myself thin and all the clothes I would wear. Something stops me though and I end up binging. Is it that I'm not ready yet for change or could it be a serious mental issue?

Slow and steady DOES win this race!!!  I lost 10-15kg about 6yrs ago and went from a 16 to a 8/10 (Aussie sizes)  I'm now a 12 and am still very happy!\n\nYou sound like you are more than ready to begin this change - you certainly have the desire to do it!  Starting is by far the hardest part of the weight loss process.  Once you get healthy habits going, it's surprisingly easy to maintain them.  You need to find a way to give yourself that inital push or get someone to help you do it.\n\nI suggest you set a date to start your new healthy lifestyle - say to yourself "I am going to change my life and I am going to begin today.  I will not look back because this is something I am doing to better myself."  \n\n\nConsider consulting a nutritionist - they'll be able to help you understand why you binge eat and create healthy eating habits as well as eating plans.  I suggest you also consult your regular GP and find out the state of your health - blood pressure etc.  You don't want to push yourself too far too fast because that will most likely make you lose your motivation.\n\nYou have to accept that you are going to have to be selfish to a degree, because you will not be able to achieve your goal unless you take time out for yourself.  Ask your family and friends to support you by encouraging you and being conscious of their own habits when they're around you.  The more supportive, and healthy influences you surround yourself with, the more chance you have of succeeding.\n\nIf you're not used to exercising, you'd be best to start with gentle exercises, because the going from 0 to 100 will make you hurt and the more you hurt, the less you want to exercise and as a result, you lose your motivation.\n\nDon't expect things to happen overnight, and don't bother with fad diets that promise a quick fix - your body registers dieting as "starvation" and hangs onto your body fat.  \n\nKeep things interesting for yourself.  If you find yourself growing bored with your chosen exercise regime, try taking it up a notch, or else try something new.  If you join a gym, try to find one that gives free consultations with trainers every so often.  If not, make sure you join one that has plenty of staff around who can help you use the machinery and advise you on how things work, and what weights and speeds you should be using etc.  If you're nervous about embarrassing yourself, don't be!  Look around at different gyms, there are a heap of ones that aren't filled with people pumping iron and are quieter and less imposing for beginners.  If your finances can run to it, try to organise a session with one of the gym's personal trainers once a month or so -  that way you can get a proper, personalised evaluation and find out if you should be changing your exercise routine.\n\nIf you can't run to a gym membership, the try walking - set yourself a goal to reach, I used to go to video store at the top of the main road.  It only took me ten minutes to walk there, but I slowly increased that to include the streets surrounding it.\n\nWhen you go out, try to get a particular friend to keep an eye on you and help keep you from straying.  However, don't forget to treat yourself every so often.  I find that if I deny myself a treat for too long, I end up binging, which destroys all the good work I've done!  \n\nAlso, try not to eat before you go to sleep - I believe 2hrs is the minimum recommended gap.  And don't forget the mental component to losing weight - the mind plays a big part. Don't eat in front of the TV or computer - it distracts your mind from the process of eating.  Eat slowly - it helps your body feel fuller - 15-20min is the recommended minimum.  And try to prepare your own meals, your sense of smell plays a big part in your enjoyment of food - it's a preliminary stage to eating, so it prepares your mind and unconsciously begins to help you feel mentally fu


in some countrys they call soccer football, well why do they and not here in the U.S.?

in Europe/south America/Africa and a part of Asia its called football.....in the USA its called soccer cuz they have another sport thats called football....of course the americans have no logic calling the american football football cuz it looks like a kind of rugby and u dont play it just with the foot....americans r idiots...


I've asked this question once before, with no real answer... let's see something this time.\nAnd for all of you who think Iraq has anything to do with the terrorist attacks, here *hands you coloring books and crayons* go into the other room, keep it between the lines and let the adults talk.\nFor those of you who think that Pakistan is actually doing some thing, save it because it's a very sad attempt. I mean to let Pakistan be the main force against someone who killed over 2,000 Americans, that's horrible.\nSo...what's the deal... I think if we went into Pakistan with everything we had, we would have him in about a week. I mean we went into Iraq for less...\nAnd does anyone think that his network is completely destroyed... maybe it was intially in Afghanistan, but he's had about 4 years to get his stuff together, I mean they've already hit london and spain since 9-11... he's probably already planning something.\nI guess I just want to know if there is a logical, rational reason?

OK, I'm a Progressive, not a publican, but here's my 2 cents:  \nWith the circus that is Iraq, and Afghanistan (remember Afghanistan?) the amount of resources that the US has to spare for the project is a lot less.\n\nAlso international good will is getting thin.\n\nPakistani government doesn't have a lot of control over the area that Osama is said to be in, but we owe them something for helping us, or at least not standing in our way in Afghanistan.  If we just went into that area, the citizens would probably overturn the Pakistani government and put one in that's more sympathetic to Osama.\n\nOr maybe it's that Pakistan doesn't have a lot of oil.  The invasion of Iraq didn't make a lot of sense once we found out that the WMD's were a paranoid fantasy of the administration, but oil might explain it all.  Or at least the opportunity to claim some, which didn't work out yet for Haliburton, but might happen in the future.\n\nOh, yeah, I hear that Pakistan DOES have a nuke or two...


my mother carrys a 6 shot pistol which shoots .454 casull,if you know about guns,you get it.if not,be afraid!

I have told there is a town in Texas (?) where it is mandatory for all allowable residents to carry a gun at all times, they are given instruction on it's use etc. The street gun crime rate is almost non-existent. Gun toting criminals have found out the hard way, to go somewhere else.\nSensible use of guns should be applauded.\nTake this scenario\nGuy pulls gun on couple walking back from theatre, he hears from all around him, "hold it one moment sucker" and finds that maybe 20 people have pulled their guns and pointing them at him, at the same time due to their training the couple have dropped to the ground and have their own guns out.... not a very auspicious moment for the mugger.\n\nI am not advocating the carrying of guns without due training, that is like giving a 10 year old the keys to a Porche... crazy.....

I have a yeast infection that I can't get rid of. I"ve been to a planned parenthood twice. They said it was the type of yeast I had that store boughten stuff won't get rid of. They gave me some meds that got rid of it all but it came back 4 days later. They said it might be my diet so I cut back on what might of been causing it without any affect. I've also tried acidophilus that some people suggested with little affect. I've had it for 2 years now and haven't had time or money to go to a doctor. Any suggestions of what might help get rid of it?

IF it's yeast, which even doctors misdiagnose sometimes, it should respond to treatment UNLESS it is a resistant species.  Most yeast infections are caused by Candida Albicans, but I personally have Candida glabrata.  Other species may or may not respond to treatment.  \n\nAlso, since the yeast went away, it's logical to assume that it was the albicans strain.  As such, it's return means that either a) you didn't take enough, or quit the treatment too soon b) you have a precipitating factor causing yeast overgrowth.  In which case, a is easily remedied and b) needs evaluation for HIV, diabetes, or allergens.  \n\nHIV compromises the immune system creating chronic yeast in some women, and diabetes and lack of control of insulin in addition to compromising the immune system, also can cause yeast to grow out of control.  For me, allergens can cause excess vaginal discharge which provides a hospitable environment facilitating their growth.  I've even changed everything to unscented (soap, detergent) and still have problems.  Allergens can cause a problem in that steroids used to treat them often cause yeast overgrowth too, so I was up the creek without a pattle.\n\nI use boric acid suppositories, they are safe, inexpensive (about $30 for a 3-month supply), and they WORK.  I'm possibly having issues with them right now inflaming my urethra due to over-use, so I would recommend you use them every 3-4 days, not every other day like me.  Boric acid alters the ph literally making it impossible for yeast to live.  It takes longer than 3 days for yeast to return again (usually four to five days).  You can get a prescription for this, generally gynecologists know about this trick, or you can go to the drug store and get boric acid poweder and put 600 mg in a gelatin capsule.\n\nDiet is an iffy thing, with huge debate.  If it worked, then I'd say go with it.  But generally, in otherwise healthy women without diabetes, diet shouldn't be an issue.


If Sean Hannity and Alan Combes were candidates for mayor in the town you live in, who would you vote for and why would you vote for them?\n\nI would vote for Sean Hannity because he makes sense and is a very honest gentleman.

If you think Hannity is honest, I have a piece of land in Timbucktoo to sell ya. \n\nWhat Hannity is good at is dismissing facts, attacking the messenger, cutting off and redirecting his guests if they disagree with him, and he has total disregard for honesty. \n\nExamples...See what he said about the Abner Louima Case, you know, the guy that was sodomized by NYPD officers. Hannity said he fabricated the story and his claims of being sodomized by the officers was really from gay sex. Guess who confessed to what Mr. Louima claimed they did. Yup, the officers who committed this heinous crime. Did Hannity apologize? Uh, nope. \n\nHannity was spouting on his talk radio show that "liberal anti-war protestors" were heckling families of fallen veterans at funeral processions. He cherry picked local news reports to support the charge. Guess who was/is responsible for heckling the families?? Anti-gay protestors from Westboro Baptist Church. Did Hannity fess up and apologize?? Uh, nope. \n\nHannity's quotes about the Kosovo intervention when Clinton was president...\n\n"There's no exit strategy."\n"We've hurt the people we're trying to help."\n\nHe threw criticisms left and right at Clinton.\n\nWhat war does that sound like?? \n\nWhat does he say about Iraq? He frequently criticizes opponents of the Iraq war for undermining the war effort and giving strength to our enemies. \n\nThat's just a tidbit of what Hannity is really like. Honest?? Hannity is the farthest thing from being honest. Vote for him for president? That would be insane.


I watch professional tennis players bring the tennis racquet up and behind their back and then swing. I find this particulary difficult when I serve especially when I am trying to serve the ball to the left side when I am standing on the right side.

Make sure your feet are pointing in the right direction first of all... keep your shoulders pointing towards where you want to serve it.  Then you have to make sure your serving grip is right, otherwise you will just push the ball over.  Once you figure that out, count off two slow counts (1....2....)and at 2 you should be at the top of your swing going on your way down behind your head.  On 3 you should have already started to swing up from behind your head.  Pronate your wrist at the top of your swing, and follow through over the front of your body.  Also a lot of practice on the ball toss is always usefull.  You can figure out different types of spins and change the speed depending a lot on the toss, and how you follow through.


i'd like to know when it was started,the purpose of the project, how the reservoir was built, how the water was utilised, who reaps the benefits?

usually i look for these things on wikipedia but all i could find was "the geography of sri lanka". heres a paragraph from that article:\n\nThe nature of agricultural pursuits in Sri Lanka has changed over the centuries and has usually depended upon the availability of arable land and water resources. In earlier times, when villagers had access to plentiful forests that separated settlements from each other, slash-and-burn agriculture was a standard technique. As expanding population and commercial pressures reduced the amount of available forestland, however, slash-and-burn cultivation steadily declined in favor of permanent cultivation by private owners. Until the 13th century, the village farming communities were mainly on the northern plains around Anuradhapura and then Polonnaruwa, but they later shifted to the southwest. In the 1980s, wide expanses of the northern and eastern plains were sparsely populated, with scattered villages each huddled around an artificial lake. The Jaffna Peninsula, although a dry area, is densely populated and intensively cultivated. The southwest contains most of the people, and villages are densely clustered with little unused land. In the Central Highlands around Kandy, villagers faced with limited flat land have developed intricately terraced hillsides where they grow rice. In the 1970s and 1980s, the wet cultivation area was expanding rapidly, as the government implemented large-scale irrigation projects to restore the dry zone to agricultural productivity. In the 1980s, the area drained by the Mahaweli Ganga changed from a sparsely inhabited region to a wet rice area similar to the southwest. Through such projects, the government of Sri Lanka has planned to recreate in the dry zone the lush, irrigated landscape associated with the ancient Sinhalese civilization.


what do you think of the concept that the primary factor of the evoloution of intelligence and the rise of civilization was brought about by the helplessness of our speices as the speices evoled?

Each step in evolution, even cultural evolution, has to be an improvement over the one before, or it won't last.\n\nI think that the evolution of culture shows that when people cooperate, they all do better.\n\nI think it was Desmond Morris who wrote that the huge amount of learning that human children have to do to live in a culture was made possible by their extremely slow rate of growth before sexual maturity (about 12-18 years), compared to other primates.  And often our culture stretches this out even further, causing a lot of tension between the generations.\n\nIn highly complex cultures like ours, children are often 20 years old or older before they have finished their education and are ready to be fully responsible adults.  In less complex societies, you might see that a child of 12 or 13 has learned enough to become a member of adult society.

Another question: If the expression 12x represents the ticket sales for a one-day concert in a stadium that holds 7525 people, does it make sense to say that x can be any number? Explain.

the value of the expression increases.\n\nUmm don't think so cuz negative numbers are real numbers and a negative number wouldnt make sense.


I am writing a paper on how black music impacts African American culture and I need more information on the social songs sung during any time period from slavery until now.

check out the protest songs of the 60's, the rise of r&b and black influence on rock and roll, and the hip hop and rap era.  you could just google those topics and type african american culture in the search bar with each of them.


I would like to know the meaning of cash projection, and how many kind different of cash projection. And why they need to use it?

basically to forecast how the company will do in the future. Usually some really smart guy will predict how much profits there will be. If the numbers are good (meaning the company is predicted to do very well in the future), people will invest in the company or buy things.
