They have several sort of niche programs - value, hidden gems, etc.  Has anyone had any success following their suggestions and do you recommend them?

I do not have any experience with them, but in general I have found that sometimes investment advice can be good and other times not so good. If you use the advice as "suggestions" and follow them up with your own research they can be rewarding. If you follow them blindly, you can open yourself up to big disappointments. Sometimes a "suggestion" will prove to be a dozy. When you do your research, you will either realize that this thing really does have merit or you will come away wondering "How did they ever come up with that crap?"\n\nPersonally, I use S&P a lot but just to get some ideas.

This guy and I have had this thing for eachother for about a year. Last year we got close but then he told me he just wanted to be friends. Then this year we hung out a lot and he asked me out, i said yes. Things were going well for a month and a half when out of no where he says he just wants to be friends. i asked if he didnt like me or if he didnt want a g/f or both and he said that he just didnt want a g/f. is he afraid of commitment? should i keep flirting with him?

You should have more respect for yourself than to flirt with a guy who only wants to be friends.  You should ask him why, and respect his answer.  While you chase someone who doesn't want to be your boyfriend, someone that does or will is missing the opportunity.

4 knowledge makes a good point.  What is your deductible?  Also most policies have coverage for the business property, but it may not have coverage for employee property.

I am ecstatic with my own individuality, especially my willingness to notice my own eccentricites.  The older I get the more ornery I get about some things, but the more conservative (I know, my ears bleed just thinking about it) I get about other things.  There are choices I have made in my life that I think I could have given more thought too, but I am happy with the sum total of who I am.  Since I believe we ARE the sum total of all of our thoughts, actions, and experiences, I guess you could say I'm damn happy being the bastard black sheep of the universe.


It is a 6-7 year old PC running Windows 98.  It does have USB ports.  We want to access the internet from this PC over an available wireless (Linksys) network.

Since it's Windows 98 and since it's also 6+ years old then I'm guessing you have USB 1.1, not that it matters but your transfer rates are just going to be slower, that's all, you'll be limited to 11Mbps.  If you're not into opening up your PC, I would suggest you go with a USB WiFi adapter, like this one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833130111\n\nThat being said, I hope you have Windows 98SE (Windows 98 will not do) because that is the bare minimum OS requirement for almost every single device I came across.


the bible and most other faiths teach that you should not judge yet so many of us are being judged and are judging others. for faults that are no one Else's concern but that persons. if you have a tattoo you get judged. if you have a child out of wedlock you are judged. etc.. if some one sees a over weight person they usually judge them, or a homeless person or a person who is poor or sick. the list goes on and on. here are my questions.\n\n1. do you some times feel as if you are wrongfully being judged?\n2.do you judge others?\n3. how do you think it affects us when we place judgment on our fellow man / woman?

1. do you some times feel as if you are wrongfully being judged?\n\nyes i do and i am because I'm in a wheel chair people atomically assume i am either retarded or cant do any thing at all I'm treated like a child\n\n2.do you judge others?\ni try not to but I'm only human\n\n3. how do you think it affects us when we place judgment on our fellow man / woman? \n\nwhat goes around comes around you get judged to the same degree as you judge some one else.

About three months ago me and my friend fought, we'll cal him Justin. We had this little group basically. Just four guys that always hung out. (Me, Justin, Larry, and Bob, let's say) I had said something to Larry, about the fact that he seemed to be sounding a lot like Justin in the way of the way he talks or acts. It was getting kind of annoying, but I never said it in a mean way or had said anything mean, and he blew up. Everything was blown out of proportion and Bob, and Justin decided to side with him. Justin and Larry had said some hurtfull things. Though this past week I've been starting to talk to Justin and we even hung out for a couple hours one day. I don't know if this is right. To act like nothing happened. I'd like to put things behind us and move on more than anything, but I don't know if it's stupid of me to want this. Justin and I have been friends since 1st grade basically. Any advice?

as you said this fight was stupid so yes definetly be friends again, you known him since first grade dont loose a relationship over that, youve been friends for way to long its time to move on and start having fun with him. besides what if something happened you wouldnt want to miss out on the oppurtunity to be friends....

Verbal abuse is still abuse.  You need to get help and get out of the situation.  Find a support group or halfway house for abused women.  United Way can proabaly help:  http://national.unitedway.org/myuw/\n\nYou are not alone...this happens more often than you think.  You don't have to accept his abuse.  You will be okay, but you need to get out of that situation and take care of yourself.  You deserve better and you CAN have it.


I asked about my fiancee stayin in country cuz he is uk citizen, i got some great response and alot of help thanks, this is the question, since i was told or read about the change of status, does that mean if we file it he shouldnt leave back to england since it can take up 6 to 10 months to have it come into affect? That would mean he couldnt come back, until it took to the change of status. I'm not sure what the best course of action is here? I would like to do everything correct of course.. I thought we could take care of everything in atlanta we could get it all resovled  any more ideas or answers would be greatly appreciated,I heard there was a waiver or something that we could ask for to keep him in the country for a while longer..like i said, we are new to this and have been readin so much that our eyes are about to burst, we are tryin to make sense of it all...help plz..THanks again to MommaBear/wazwondring,Mr.Google,etc..for your answers and help..(help again plz)

Many tend to get confused and see them as interchangable.\n\nDo you have a way of putting it in laymans terms?

Collie's 'mental disorder' answer and 'learning disorder' are all actually 'mental disorders'. And some very highly intellectual people had a 'learning disorders' besides your husband, 3icys. \n\nTo name a FEW:\nAlbert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Gen. George Patton, John F. Kennedy, Leonardo da Vinci, Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Alexander Graham Bell, Woodrow Wilson, and Beethoven.\n\nA learning disorder is just someone that learns at a different pace than most because they see it differently than we do. Or they have a problem learning to concentrate.\n\n I believe 'we actually have the learning disorder' because A LOT of people with 'so called' learning disorders, 'were and are' high I.Q.ed or literal Geniuses!\n\nMy 8 year old grandson was recommended by the school to be placed in 'special Ed.'. The school claimed he was retarded and had attention deficit. And incapable of learning. But after being tested by real professionals, we found he was dyslexic, (like Albert Einstein and other intelligent people with learning disorders.)\n\n (They proved their ability to learn and so did my grandson)\n\n After a little over one year of private tutoring, he is now passing (18 months later) 3rd grade in school, in a regular class (not sp. ed.), with honors. (He mastered 3 years in 18 months).\n\nIt's harder for him to grasp new concepts. He has to have more one on one, but once he does get the concept, he's unbeatable .


What are some signs and possible ways to tell a person is posessed?  Also,  if a person becomes posessed why does it occur?

Bob Dylan said "you gotta serve somebody", if it ain't God them who? Just look at Ozzy. That fellow is definitely possessed. What would cause someone to kill their kids? It has to be demonic.


Hello, I'm learning Java Script on my own through internet. Now I just thought of a page like this "It has a text Box. the user enters the url he wants to go and presses a button". When the button is pressed the page location should change to the given url. Please provide the code in Java script. Thanks!!!

Here is your HTML file, fill in between whatever content you already have on your page:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<form name="form">\n<input type="text" name="inputbox">\n<input type="button" value="Go!" onclick="getURL();">\n</form>\n\nNOTE: The part with the star, delete the star and join up that line with the one before it. It was not letting me write what I wanted to, it kept cutting it off.\n\nThat should about do it. If you have any more questions on JavaScript, email me at rosiedop@yahoo.com. I hope that this code works for you and good luck creating your web site.


Why do we sometimes see text wrapped in parnethesis when quoting an interview

Example : "He studies [Kabbalah], but probably not as enthusiastically as I do....Brits are kind of allergic to the idea [of God]." Madonna - Us Weekly\n\nThe use of parenthesis shows that those are not the exact words Madona used, the words in the parenthesis are added to make it clear what she was talking about.  Also, when they use ... it means that something was left out of the quote.


My good friend always insist on singing every song that is played on the radio. She never have the right lyrics and she has a horrible voice (worse than nails on a chalk board). I love her dearly but her singing would make a sane person commit suicide!

I am interested in learning about program and webpage design.  All this stuff is over my head, but that's because i have found nowhere that actually explains it.

Please clarify the type of programming... are you asking specifically about website development (e.g. HTML), or about languages such as C++?\n\nFor HTML, these are two excellent websites:\nhttp://www.htmldog.com\nhttp://www.htmlgoodies.com\n\nHere are superb C++ tutorials:\nhttp://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/\nhttp://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutorial/\n\nOn the other hand, if you are simply wondering what programming language you should learn, I would recommend Java or C++. Java programs will work on many operating systems. Here is a good article about choosing the right programming language for yourself:\nhttp://www.tgr.com/weblog/archives/000024.html


They seem to have the same capacity. So what's the diff?

It is a format difference originally between manufactures. Now most DVD players will read either +R or -R. There is supposedly a slight useage edge for -R but ability to read is what is important. I record all my DVDs in +R and I never have a problem playing them in any DVD player. \n\nMy computer burner will burn either format but I just started using +R and that is what I usually buy.\n\nNeither a +R or a -R are rewritable. For that you want a +R-RW or a -R-RW.

I can't count, so don't blame me if I get this wrong.\nLet n be the number of participants.\nSince it's a close circuit, the people in front of him are in a sense also behind him so there ara (n-1) people both ahead and behind him.\nso (1/5+5/6)(n-1)=n\n31/30*n -31/30=n\n1/30*n=31/30\nthus n=31\n31 total people

While on my cam with someone on my yahoo messenger someone else on my list told me that he has a program where he can tell my cam is open and also view me without my knowledge.  How can he possibly do this.  I know there are alot of secret tips u can do with Yahoo Messenger but this beats all.

Here you go: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Keylogger-Monitoring/Buddy-Spy.shtml\nNot with Yahoo Messenger he find's out, but with the program Buddy Spy. Anyway, my opinion is that Yahoo Messenger it's a little out dated. Security bugs and more problems with it. Why can you people from Yahoo! make messenger secure and encrypted as Skype or ICQ?

Hello I am a 32 year old female, I have been engaged for about 6 months, we had a big falling out, and have talked things out and worked things out. My family and him got along very well. It was like a big happy family finally. When we broke up, I involved my family and now that I am back together with my fiance, they will not ecept it. They will not talk to me if im not alone they will not come over if he is there, they will not talk to him and hear his side and his apoligy. They have asked me for my key back to their house and they have changed their alarm code. They say they love me and trust me but how could they when all this stuff is going on. They will not except my decision to be with him. They give gilt trips and keep saying stuff like, we miss you when are you gonna spend time with us and so on and so on. But like I said with out him ever. My sister who I thought was my best friend will not talk to me. Please give me advice.  so you know my fiance was not physically abusive.

are you planning on living with your family for the rest of this life?


I found out my child is on undesriable sites while I'm at work.  How can I place a block on his ability to go to these sites.  I found out by looking at the history on my computer.

pretty cheeky dude.. haan..\n\nj/k.\n\nthere aer two ways in which you can block sites.\n\none way is to enable content advisor in Internet Explorer. You can set up a supervisor password for that also. \nOpen internet explorer\nclick on tools\nclick on options\nclick on 'content'\nclick on enable content advisor\nset up the settings as per your needs\nif you wish, then create a password\nif all done well, you'll have set up a content advisor for IE. \n\nThe other way is to add the websites that your child has already visited to the "restricted sites" list\nhowever, that'll not be a perfect solution because of the fact that there will be many more sites like that .\n\nopen ie\ngo to options\nclick on security\nclick on restricted sites\nclick on 'sites' on the right\nenter the sites \nclick add\nclick ok\nclick ok\n\nhope that helps


need to learn how to count up the numbers and the which column goes where, I need HELP

Hello,\nI am only in 10th grade. I never heard about nominals or ordinals... percentage is simple, Suppose u want to find the profit%, it will be (profit/Cost price)*100.. Read some lower class maths books. They will help u get ur basics right.\nCumulative frequency can be of two types, less than C.F and Greater than C.F..... Lets use the following data table...\n\n class ....... frequency ....... C.F. (less than)\n 0-10  ........... 3 ............. 3\n 10-20 ........... 5 ............. 5 + 3 = 8\n 20-30 ........... 3 ............. 8 + 3 = 11\n 30-40 ........... 8 ............. 11 + 8 = 19\n\nSo u see, u just have to add the frequencies in less-than C.F... in greater than C.F... U have to add all the frequencies and then subtract the individual frequencies from it...\n Total sum of frequency = 3 + 5 + 3 + 8 = 19\n class ......... frequency ......... C.F.(Greater than)\n 0-10  ............ 3 ............... 19 - 3 = 16\n 10-20 ............ 5 ............... 19 - (5+3) = 11\n 20-30 ............ 3 ............... 19 - (8+3) = 8\n 30-40 ............ 8 ............... 19 - (11+8)= 0...

You can go about anywhere, but your interest rate might be a bit higher. But not as high as if the bankruptcy was 2 years ago.


God has given them A SPIRIT OF STUPOR EYES THAT THEY MAY NOT SEE and ears that they should not hear to this very day in romans 11v26 and so all isreal will be saved as it is written so why so many today still see them as the cast off the ones that crucify Jesus and that they deserve what is happening to them the amazing thing is some christians think like that to if it wasn't for Jews we won't even have a bible to read from

Jesus was not killed by the Jews. He gave His life willingly as a sacrifice for sin. This was prophesied and fufilled. The Jews rejected their Messiah, yes. But this was also prophesied to happen. The Jews will be redeamed and saved in the end. This is also prophesied and illustrated in Romans. It is very important that you read 17 verses further...\n\nRomans 11:25\nFor I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.\n\nOnce the number of gentiles is come in, God will remove the blinders from Israel.\n___________________________\nSorry, I always want to make that point regarding who killed Jesus. Just want to get it straight. ;)\n\nAs to your detail, Christians should NEVER ignore the Jewish people. They should take great interest in, for example, their Seders. I even did an interesting study on it. http://tinyurl.com/nchkw\nI have always been a proSemitic. I also designed the Holyland Virtual Tour CD. I have been to Israel 3 times (working on 4) and always encourage people to tour there. You will learn so much about the Jewish people there without media bias to poison what you see. I encourage my kids to bless the Jewish people whenever they can. The Jewish people have come to realize they have only one true friend who has stood by them through thick and thin... the evangelical Christian. It perplexes them, but they appreciate it with tears. And I appreciate them and all of the incredible benefits they have developed for our world in medicine, technology and agriculture. Too many benefits to list here.

I know this makes sense when paying of a mortgage, for example, but does it also benefit you when SAVING as well?

It doesn't matter on a free to purchase investment such as a bond bond, but it can matter on stocks.\nIf you put down $100 once a week to purchase stock at a $15 buy fee, that a loss of 15% purchase power each week.  If you put in $1,000 every 10 weeks, you loose 1.5% purchase power, but the volitility on stocks can move that much in one or two days.  You might miss on the run up if you wait, but you take a big loss if your buy fee eats up a good percentage of what you want to put in.

Do you know any foster parents/children?  If so, how do you feel about them.  Do you consider them just like yourself?  Do you think we (as humans) have a responsibility to our less fortunate citizens?  And does the system work in your opinion?

Ok i'm going to be open and honest to you, i'm in a boot camp right now in texas. I was born and raised in indiana right by Cincinnatti, Ohio. The reason i'm in a boot camp, (actually it is called an academy) is in 2004 my father kicked me out of the house and my mom called me in as a run away. my parents are still married. so after i was found i was sent to a group home, because there was signs and well i told on my dad for abusing me. the group home wasn't found appropriate for me because i had emotional damage, severe depression, signs of bi polar, and all this drama, so they sent me to northern indana to a treatment facility. after a year there and no improvement i was supposed to be placed in a foster home. I was scared. I screwed up my family, i felt i could not do anything. the treatment center was not helping me at all and lying to me. I made the mistake of running away from the treatment facilty and was paced in two different detention centers then finally sent down here. This is the best place for me. I wouldn't of learned anything if i went into foster care. maybe for some kids its right, but during my time in placement i know a lot of kids hate it and have been abused in it. maybe this has helped you or confused you more sorry if it had \nif you want to ask me any questions you can e-mail me at ndtschaenn@swtjc.net


Is it because teachers want more money!!!

because teachers brainwash you and make you believe that every thing lasts long when it only lasts about 10 minutes. then they can go get "a few" beers. lol:-)


my husband works about 60 hrs a week so he really does not have alot of time for me or a daughter. but in his spare time he rather hang out with his friends at work. our daughter hardly gets to spend quality time with her dad, and it shows because she hardly wants anything to do with him. how do i make him understand that spending time with his family comes 1st? when i mention it he always says i am nagging him and it ends up in an huge arguement. what should i do???

your husband sounds like a loser\ni think you need to leave him for someone who will come home to you


Looking for the simplest, most clearly expressed answer to the following.  Design the fittings that attach one end of a horizontal beam to a vertical wall, such that the system has the following characteristics:\nWhen unloaded, the beam is horizontal.\nWhen loaded with a weight at the tip, beam is horizontal (with some bending).\nWhen loaded with the same weight at the root, beam detaches from the wall.\nBeam and wall fittings are rigid one-piece devices, one welded to the beam, one to the wall; thus no moving parts like levers, springs, etc.

Interesting puzzle.  Let's talk aboout a rigid beam projecting from a wall first.  If there is a weight downward anywhere on the beam, it will produce a shear force and if the weight were sufficient the beam would be cut off at the wall (shear) as though a knife passed downward through it flush with the wall because this is where the downward beam force is resisted by the upward force of the wall.\n\nIf the weight is at the end of the rigid beam it tends to rotate the beam downward at the base as though there were a hinge there but the wall produces a counter-rotary force resisting motion.  The "moment" equals the weight times the distance from the wall and decreases to zero at the wall.\n\nTherefore your beam must consist of fittings that will resist shear at all times but release when the moment is reduced to zero at the wall.  Assuming the fittings can be greased to reduce friction to nearly zero, the beam fitting should catch the wall at the top like placing your hand up into a drawer handle to open it.  The lower fitting should be an inclined outward and downward plane such when there was insufficient moment to rotate the beam against the wall, the base of the beam will start to slide down the ramp.  There could be several configurations of hardware to achieve the same effect.

Qd=50-(30)=20        Qs=1/2(30)-10=5\n\nCalculate consumer surplus and producer surplus.

You haven't really given equations, but maybe you mean to say that the equations are \nQd=50-(price) Qs=1/2(price)-10\n\nConsumer surplus is the area of the triangle with points of the form (q,p) at (10,40), (0,40) and (0,50). The area of this triangle is $50.\n\nProducer's Surplus is the area of the triangle with points at (10,40), (0,40) and (0,20). The area of this triangle is $100. \n\nCheck your equations again and we can give you a better picture.\n\nGood luck!


what would you do if a super cop mayor who owns a news station,is a millionare and takes a position that pays 100,000 a year and only is concerned with crime. not education, not health and not employment is elected in your city. oh did i mention he's from president bushes home state and he lied to the court under oath and still is in office

no .45 Peacemaker, nowhere does anything say what their duties are only what theyre not allowed to infringe upon.\nhttp://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/declaration_transcript.html\nhttp://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution_transcript.html\nhttp://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html\nyour supercop sounds dangerous. getting him out of office is the most important. into a cell is a good idea. look through history, a leader's main reason for conquest is always security & ctime. just because he's from bush's state doesnt means he's a bad person, im sure theres alot of ppl from connecticut (thats where the entire bush family is from, dont let the FAKE swagger fool ya) are really nice. never underestimate the destructive  force of the ignorant masses.


There are legitimate secret shopper agencies, but NEVER, NEVER pay any of them to get access to sites where the shops are listed - those are most definitely the scammy operations.\n\nReal secret shops will vary by area - I live in a very small town and the only shops I've been asked to perform are for Papa John's and a few gas stations. And even those pay so little that they're hardly worthwhile. If you live in a larger area, shop opportunities and benefits may be better, but you'll have more competition when applying for those shops as well.\n\nHere's a link to one legitimate mystery shopper sites that I've used. Another is called Sassy, although I can't find the link for it just now (sorry!) Good luck!


Why would you even ask that when this isn't even a chat line, sweetie? Go to www.yahoo/chatline.com to chat. Good luck and enjoy the real chat sites! bye..


what are its advantages and disadvantages?

The main advantages are that it's cleaner to produce and burn than gasoline or other conventional fuels.  The main disadvantages are that it's more expensive to produce and the energy yield per mole is lower.


Does anyone know how I can write to someone stationed overseas in the navy or marines BUT all I have is there name?? Anyone know if I can or any navy or army people got any ideas for me??? I really want to write to this person. Any one any ideas????

In order to use AKO, or any of the others you have to be in the service, or have a sponsor who is in the service. I am not sure how you could track them down, unless you know someone who is willing to look for them on AKO for you. I would but I don't know you or why you are looking for them. Sorry.


2nd page to 'what are the advantages of solar power?'

Currently, solar cells are only moderately efficient. Solar panels must be installed in large, unshaded areas.\n\nOther solar facilities that convert water to steam to generate power require acres of land for mirrors to focus the sun on the generation point.\n\nAll solar facilites will alter the environment around by raising the temperature in the air above them.  In the case of solar panels, they can be installed on roofs but steam facilities will block most of the sunlight from reaching the ground, altering the natural environment under the mirror field.


It is designed in detail on paper. Some minor engineering needed, but very little. Not even sure if furniture is able to be patented. I beleive in my product, and I can't wait to have one! My next step is ..... help please.

patent it. go to the government service. if you go to the attorneys they will charge you around 2000-5000. you can also document and date the design, then show it to the manufacturer. they can tell you if it is marketable; but be careful. they can steal you idea/design. so document and date it well. go see an attorney that doesn't try to sell you patent service.

This is weird, Yahoo home page on my home computer is the original home page Yahoo has used for the passed 10 years.   My office computer however is a different story.  The Yahoo home page is so diffirent and difficult to navigate.  I responed to Yahoo's inquiry of how do I like it?  I replied I didn't I want the original home page back.  So how do I contact Yahoo to get it changed.  Yes I know about tools, Internet options.  I've done that several times.  Their new home page continues to reset and has for the past two weeks. HELP

So from time to time Yahoo will expose different changes to randomly selected individuals in order to get their opinions.  In some ways, you are pretty lucky (I haven't seen the page myself, I'd like to though) \n\nGiving your feedback is the best thing you can do.  If the new page turns out to not be appealing to people, they won't use it.  \n\nFinally, usually there is a way to adjust the view so that you don't have to use the new interface.  I'm not sure where it is on the page, but if you are really bothered... hopefully someone who has seen it will answer this question.

What is the current position of the red panda

Different systematicists have categorized the red panda (Ailurus fulgens) in a number of different ways.  Originally, they were placed in the Family Procyonidae - due to morphological similarities between the red panda and the raccoons.  Although raccoons are restricted to North and South America, and the red panda is strictly Asian in distribution.\n\nSometime in the late 80's/early 90's, genetic work done with giant pandas, red pandas, bears and raccoons suggested that red pandas and giant pandas were definitely related, giant pandas were somewhat genetically similar to bears, and the other relationships were unclear or even contradictory.  Based on these findings, some workers put both panda species into the Family Ursidae.  Some put them in their own seperate family, the Ailuropodidae.  Others put the red panda into the Procyonidae, and the giant panda into the Ursidae, and tried to figure out what that meant when the two (obviously) closely related pandas were put into separate families.\n\nMore recently, more work has been done resolving these similarities and differences, and red pandas have been broken out into their own Family, the Ailuridae.  Some put the giant pandas into that family as well, some keep the giant pandas in Ailuropodidae, and some put the giant pandas in Ursidae.\n\nSee?  Clear as mud.


I need to know if I can obtain copies of anything in my personnel file at my (now former) job.  Can someone help me?

you may, of course, ASK for the documents.  However, your employer may have policies and/or procedures in place which limit what they MUST release to you based upon Texas law.  Also, in Texas an employer is permitted to charge you a "reasonable" fee for the cost of copying the documents as well as the cost of the person's time securing the document, copying them, and re-filing them.

Live in the home for 2 years. You can also sell the home and buy another rental property. Its called a like exchange. Those are the only two Ways that you can get out of paying capital gains. If you don't want to do that make sure you add everything you have ever done to the rental property in the last 8 years to the basis of the house. (landscaping,repairs,trips to check on the property and to sell etc.)

I used to suffer from severe eczema (and only a person with eczema can understand what that feels like!), and my eczema is COMPLETELY cured as a result of homeopathy treatment. Haven't touched any disgusting steroid creams in many months. \n\nChiropractic has helped me a lot in so many ways as well. Just got rid of a horribly persistant pain in my hips that I've had for over a year, with only ONE adjustment. \n\nTwo AMAZING desciplines in natural medicine!! Would have loved to learn more about how they work.

I work as a natural health advisor, and as a result, I've had many wonderful experiences with it.\n\nI no longer get migraine headache where as before I would suffer with 2 - 3 headaches a week. All I take for this is a magnesium supplement and a good multi-vitamin for the B-complex.\n\nI've had UTI's clear up in only a couple of hours after a flare-up from using Cranberry extracts and juices.\n\nAnd of course, there are many of our clients who swear by these remedies, and do not see (or rarely see) medical doctors.\n\nWhole health MD is a really good sight that talks about these treatments and products.

have to stay home and not go out during the week I would like some ideas of what to do with my kids so they have fun inside the house since they have to be inside all the time I cant take them outside bymyself each would wrong difrent ways and it would be dangerous I do have a yard but is imposible please help me with ideas on what to do inside with toddlers.

build block towers and let them ruin them.\nget those markers that only mark on special paper, it is a little expensive to keep buying the paper but it is worth it.\nsit in the bathroom and get some fun bath toys, kids love water.\nmaybe get one of those little ball tents, babies love balls.\nmy daughter and I always liked watching barney together and lamb chop, sing a long videos so we would sing and dance together\n\ncheck and see if you have a neighbor with a 10,11, or 12 yr old you could pay alittle money to play outside with you. teeny boppers love to earn a little extra cash and with you there you wouldnt have to pay too much. if you find a good one they will get used to your kids and you could let them babysit when they got a little older.


are there and websites, sales firms or other sources i can find people?

I don't think you would want to chance something as important as your business to a random web page.  I would look into a recruiting firm in the areas you are looking to place people and give them a description of what you need.  Not only will you get prequalified applicants, you usually get a guarantee on the placement (ie. if you are not satisfied, they will place another person until you are).


One of my best friends is Jewish and I was just wondering. She is a great friend and a wonderful person.

i have a girl that she is my friend from about 3years  and this year a new girl have be on my class this girl even she is not my close frisnd she can understan what i need to say before i say it and i feel like she is my soul mate the priblem that im being closer to this new girl and far from my old friend and i can't make them both my friend caues they can't communicate very well with each other .\nso what shall i do leave my old friend or my new friend or what?\nnotice: i feel that my old friend don't want my friendship any more

This new friend seems like she's a lot more in tune with you than your old friend.  It's OK.  In my lifetime, I have gone through many best friends... only because as you grow up, your needs change and so does the company you keep.  If this new girl seems like someone you want  to spend more time with, do it!  Don't get rid of your old friend, and for goodness sakes, don't have a huge fight with her or anything, just try to ease out of the time you spend with her...  Make new friend, but keep the old... as is said.  You can have a great friendship with both, it just may be different as time goes by.  This new girl, probably won't be you best friend forever either... but for now, if she's what you need in a friend, then be her friend and don't feel bad.  Good Luck!


Like when you visit a national park and you see nature in its purest form, you begin to realize that your life is such a small part of the world and that you really aren't as important as we sometimes believe. When I was a kid i used to think, how the heck could that EVER be a good thing. But now it is what keeps me grounded, connected to God and helps me understand what is important. (in reference to all of the battles we have against one another over different beliefs)  Any thoughts on this?? Thanks!

Interesting.  I remember sitting outside late at night with a girlfriend.  It was going to storm, and there were already flashes of lightning in the clouds.  We were on the frontal boundary, so the winds were rocking us back and forth while the flashes in the sky lit up our surroundings.  I knew that the raw forces of nature were so much more powerful than I was, yet I somehow felt strangely magnified within them.  For a moment I was in tune with nature.  I loved that time and place with everything I had.  Then, it was gone with the rain.  \nSo, yes, I have felt that feeling.  I relive it sometimes in my memory of a night long gone.


IM in love with a guy that works at a local fast food place. I really would love to meet him and get to talk to him. I have admired from a far since we were in school. its been 2 years at i havent gotten the nerve to at least say hello. How do i approach him?

Go order something and make a joke with him.  Do this for a couple of times while asking him discreat question about his life.  Nothing personal, like if he has a girlfriend.  Then one day invite him to go out with you and some friends.  If he accepts, maybe he's interested.  If not, just come out and ask him on a date.  The rest is up to you.


I think it was to get it when I sign up but some how I missed it. not sure though

Go to "my yahoo" then go to "create aviator" and create it right there!!  Have fun!!


If anyone knows of any remedies or products to reduce static I would be obliged.  Desperate.

Dryer sheets really help to reduce static electricity oin your clothes.\nthis sounds silly, but a flat-headed thumb tack through the inside of your shoe facing down so that the tip points down when you're standing up helps with build up when you walk.\nGetting your car properly grounded helps with getting shocked coming out of your car (that's most popular with me)


I need to communicate with him, cause fans can also help to elavete the standard of a player in the field of play.

I've heard this term quite a lot of times, but i have practically no idea what it is...definitions, anyone?

Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere. It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in photosynthesis. It is also the same gas commonly added to water to make soda water. Dry Ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry Ice is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using insulated gloves. Dry Ice changes directly from a solid to a gas -sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. Therefore it gets the name "dry ice."\n\nAs a general rule, Dry Ice will sublimate at a rate of five to ten pounds every 24 hours in a typical ice chest. This sublimation continues from the time of purchase, therefore, pick up Dry Ice as close to the time needed as possible. Bring an ice chest or some other insulated container to hold the Dry Ice and slow the sublimation rate. Dry Ice sublimates faster than regular ice melts but will extend the life of regular ice. \n\nIt is best not to store Dry Ice in your freezer because your freezer's thermostat will shut off the freezer due to the extreme cold of the Dry Ice! Of course if the freezer is broken, Dry Ice will save all your frozen goods. \n\nCommercial shippers of perishables often use dry ice even for non frozen goods. Dry ice gives more than twice the cooling energy per pound of weight and three times the cooling energy per volume than regular water ice (H2O). It is often mixed with regular ice to save shipping weight and extend the cooling energy of water ice. Sometimes dry ice is made on the spot from liquid CO2. The resulting dry ice snow is packed in the top of a shipping container offering extended cooling without electrical refrigeration equipment and connections.


I have been hearing a lot about environmenral factors like the huge amounts of synthetic products we use every day is to blame...What do you think.

The syndrome Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity \n\nDisorder (ADHD) defies a concrete definition. There are no blood tests, brain scans, or psychological tests that definitively diagnose it.\n\nADD/ADHD is not an imaginary disorder.  It is a chronic developmental disorder which is genetically based.  It is not a learning disability, but can co?exist with learning disabilities in approximately 25 to 33 percent of those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

I'm trying to quit smoking...yesterday I smoked one cigarette,today nothing. Beside effects I would also like to know some ways to deal with the cravings.I pretty much know some things from books or the internet,but I would like to know from real people who have experienced this.Thank you.

Have you tried one of the online smoking cessation forums? Unfortunately, I have not been brave enough or smart enough, for that matter, to lay the cigs down but I know from others that these work. Not only do the sites give you information but there are chat rooms/bulletin board type forums where you can share the experience with others, who are in the same shoes. Good luck and WOW, only 1 yesterday and none today. Good for you!

The Hard Worker. The "Lazy Genius" is an imaginary character.


the one that makes you think for a moment and then makes you go "Wow!...wow! Man I wish I wrote that song".

Tough question.  Right now, the song that jumps out in answer to this is Ben Folds Five's "Smoke".  It's quite simply the saddest song I have ever heard.  Beyond sad, it's a picture of emptiness; not in a nihilistic, Nine Inch Nails way, but rather emptiness after loss of a meaningful relationship - as if it had never been at all.\n\nHard to explain, just listen to it.


I think Wanwan chushingura (1963) was the first film he was involved in as an inbetween animating artist, it was also known as Doggie March or Woof Woof Chushingura (informal literal English title).  He didn't direct this though.  I'm pretty sure the first one that he directed with Ghibli was Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind in 1984.  Before Ghibli he directed Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro in 1979.\n\nHis first films that he was involved with were directed by Isao Takahata, it was later that he directed his own films.  See the sources below for more information.

not the actor! (Harrison Ford), Whom was Indiana Jones based off of?

I have a long article on him.\n\nProfessor Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. is a fictional bullwhip-toting, fedora-wearing archaeologist with an ophidiophobia (fear of snakes). He first appeared in a series of films produced by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg in the 1980s.\n\nJones was originally portrayed by Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Younger versions of the character were also played by River Phoenix (in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), and by Corey Carrier and Sean Patrick Flanery (in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles). An older version (93) of Jones, played by George Hall, also appeared in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.\n\nIndiana Jones is also the general name given to the series as a whole, which comprises three films, a TV series, various novels, comics, video games, and other media. A fourth film has also been announced for a likely 2007 release.\n\nBiography\nIndiana Jones was born Henry Jones Jr. to Scottish-born Professor of Medieval literature, Dr. Henry Jones Sr. (played by Lloyd Owen in the TV series and by Sean Connery in the films), and his wife Anna on July 1, 1899, in Princeton, New Jersey. "Junior" accompanied his father on his travels throughout Europe, where he learned to speak, read, and write 27 languages, including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Swedish, Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Vietnamese, Swahili, Latin and Chinese, as well as some Hindi, apart from English. Although his father called him "Junior," Henry Jr. adopted the name of his beloved dog "Indiana" for himself, insisting he be referred to as "Indiana Jones". It is not known for sure when he first did this, except that he was referred to as Indiana during childhood by his peers.\n\nIn 1912, Indy was living in Utah and was a member of the Boy Scouts with the rank of Life Scout. It was here, while attempting to secure the Cross of Coronado from thieves, Indy first learned to use the bullwhip and received his trademark fedora, as well as the scar on his chin. This was also the time when he first developed his aversion to snakes.\n\nHis father wanted Indiana to go to Princeton University. To escape this, he ran away from home by train. He ended up in Mexico and was kidnapped by Mexican revolutionaries. He joined this army of revolutionaries, playing a part in the Mexican Revolution in 1916, under Pancho Villa. It is here that he also met his friend Remy, a Belgian. With Remy, he left Mexico and traveled to Ireland just in time for the Easter Rising. He then traveled to England, getting involved with the suffrage movement, and then he and Remy joined the Belgian Army. He participated in the Western Front. He was taken prisoner by the Germans, escaped, encountered (and lost his virginity to) Mata Hari eventually making his way to Africa at the beginning of World War I.\nWhen they arrived in Africa, Jones and Remy were commissioned as lieutenants. Jones' inability to read maps properly caused him to lose his intended unit, and he instead fought along side a team of old men under the British Army. Among missions (depicted in the television series), the team destroyed a giant cannon mounted on a train, and they kidnapped the (real-life) German military genius Paul Erich von Lettow-Vorbeck in a balloon, but they were forced to release him. Also while in Africa, Jones took ill, and was treated by Albert Schweitzer.\n\nJones and Remy then transferred to the French Army, and Jones worked as an intelligence officer, vied with Ernest Hemingway for the affections of a young nurse, and worked as a translator for the Treaty of Versailles, seeing the war come to its conclusion but laying down the groundwork for a second conflict.\n\nSometime after the war, Jones returned to the United States, where he studied archaeology at the University of Chicago under Professor Abner Ravenwood. At the same time, he became romantically involved with the Professor's daughter Mario


I no america is mainly all christian, but what pecentage do u think is atheist?

90% of Americans are Christians,so I would say 3% are probably atheist.However,33% of the world are Christians.That's not even half of the world.You Christians mean to tell me that 67% of the world are going to hell for being raised with the "wrong" religion or not believing in a belief system that has no proof whatsoever?It is insane to believe that.

Pharmacist.  You have to work your BUTT off in school, but once you get out, you count pills and talk to people.  All the hard work that pharmacists used to have to do is now mostly done inside the computer.  You have to count, check, and occasionally answer a question.  And for this, you can start making ~$50,000 - $90,000 a year (working retail at Kmart or Target or something).\n\nYes, school is A LOT of hard work, but when you're done, you're set for life.


I'm sure theres a logical reason, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk or anything.

If you come from Mexico you may have to wait your whole life after you apply.  If you have money to bribe mexiacan officials, you can make the process go faster, but there are quotas and tens of millions who want to come.  So people think, shoud I go across and risk arrest, or let my kids live in awful poverty for the next 10-20 years?  Obviously the choice is not too hard.

So all the lives lost both Iraqi and Coalition were for what? So the President could sit here and allude to the fact that Saddam is still in power in Iraq. It's the same as if another country 'liberated' the United States and all the Bushbots took arms in the name of Bush and the neo-con sect of the Republican party!\nThis man (Bush) should be tried for war crimes, crime against humanity and mis-managing my 'EFFIN' tax dollars!!!!!\n\nWhat prevents him from accepting the fact that we are NOT wanted over there?  \n\nBefore anyone shoots me down with insults, I am not advocating immediate withdrawl from Iraq, my confusion is with his reasoning or lack there of. Maybe he thinks that if he keeps repeating his effin' rhetoric, everything will be ok.

What pisses me off about this country is the amount of people that were "pro-war" in 2003 and now that they see blood on the television they are suddenly humanitarians. What the hell did you think was going to happen?  Compared to Vietnam, Korea, and especially WWII, this war is very tame.  \n\nI was anti-war in 2003 but I'm against pulling out of Iraq now.  Saddam wasn't the enemy, but the terrorists we are fighting now come from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and others.  This is a different war than we were fighting in 2003.  We were wrong for going in against the UN's vote, but we will be just as wrong for pulling out now and leading these poor people into a civil war.

People! Isn't America made up of all sorts of people, Race, Creed, Gender, and Religion? How on Earth can the "RIGHT" be so cruel to put oil and wealth above ordinary peoples welfare? Please speek freely.

It's not just the "Right" addiction to oil. It's the whole country that needs it. Race, Creed Gender, or Religion really doesn't matter. Everyone depends on it. As far as the Gulf, the director of FEMA was the first to admit he had no clue what he was doing. Another Bush Blunder that cost yet more lives, and can't admit when he's wrong.


I agree!!! It's doesn't help you lose your belly. You should really consider doing cardio exercises at least 3 times a week; along with jogging. You will see better results instead. Drink a lot of water too. Try this website below. It will tell you a lot about ab workouts. It help me alot.


just wondering the steps you have to take like is there several things that you have to take or is there one drink or pill??

I have been drinking Slim Fast for two weeks and I don't feel nor look any different

Cut out all sugars and cut way back on your Carbs.If you drink soda drink only diet. Do not eat at fast food joints.\n I am 34 and have lost 19lbs in 1 month. The more you exercise the better. Your input must be lower than your output of calories. Simple math.


all that it means is that for technical reasons a web site has been divided. Perhaps parts of the web site are using two different technologies or are on two separate servers. Not only does the number have no significance, it could be anything b4 the domain name. This is called a host name. (host names can be under the same domain name) As an example, when I make Web sites, it usually starts dev.domain.com (dev for development) - sometimes I separate an on-line store which is in a shopping cart program from the rest of the site by using store.domain.com.


What is the best fruit with whip cream for seduction? Strawberries, cherries, bananas, or something else? And for wine what is a really good Red Wine? And good romantic music?

I just started my job about a month ago.  I got an e-mail from 2 people thanking me for helping them and I was the only person to help them and thanks bla bla bla.  Now I want my supervisor to know so wouldn't it be kinda conceited to foward the e-mail to my supervisor.  Like how can I let her see this without looking like Im searching for approval?

You should forward the emails directly to your supervisor AND to your Human Resources department also so they can keep copies in your personnel file.\n\nYou shouldn't worry at all about it looking 'conceited'.  Maybe if you just went to the supervisor and told him or her how great you are, that would seem conceited.  But you have references from customers saying how great you are, and that really is something the supervisor would want to know about!\n\nkeep up the good work!

As a college and NBA fan, and as a Sunday school and VBS teacher, I thought it would be interesting if I could provide my students with different religious points of view (through interviews) from the celebrities they see on t.v. The only problem that I'm having, however, is that there seems to be no way of getting in touch with any celebrities to conduct said interviews.\n\nOf course, these celebrities range from Michael Jordan to Lindsay Lohan that my students are interested in -- in particular, Duke Power Forward Shelden Williams.\n\nDo you have any information on how I should go about contacting celebrities (again, particularly Shelden Williams since we practically live no more than 40-minutes away from each other)? If not, if I can't interview these celebrities, are there any articles available that eXpresses their religious beliefs? Thanks in advance!\n\nGod bless!

I dont think you will be able to get any major celebrities in for a inter view, but I have seen an article/interview in sports illistrated for kids, about albert Puljols and there were parts about his religious belief.  If you dont get the magizen, look for one in your local library and find a Sports illistrated for kids with Alpert Puljols on the front. I hope this helps.


I haven't found any multi orgasmic woman upto now.\nEvery one feels pain after the first time.

woman will have multi orgasms but the man should be efficient to bring her to that state . \n\nfew steps which will help to achieve this are \nfore play \nfinding her hot spots \nunderstanding woman interests about sex\nprovocative and humorous and sexual talking while sex\nencouraging her for active participation  etc..\n\nthese are few only but there are no of ways to achieve this depends on the woman with whom you are dealing with .

I'm looking for something to use in conjunction with exercise. I'm not sure if such a thing exists.\n\nAnd no, I'm not interested in trying pills like Stacker 2, so don't mention anything like that. It's just caffiene.

I don't know of any specific health drink,but there's solid evidence out there that drinking 24 ounces of milk in each 24 hour period will help you lose weight. For the best results,drink low-fat or skim milk.Good luck!\n                                  Lynne,RN

Hi,i currently dont have a dictionary where i am now.Only got my laptop so i'm gonna ask my 24hrs teachers here,that's you guys to help me convert the following sentence without changing the meaning,just change the words used in the sentence.It doesnt have to be all anyways.\n\nThe sentence is,:cowrie shells defied any sort of imitation which was threaten in the early use of metal coins.\n\nThanks a zillion teachers!!!!Love ya!!

Cowrie shells resist any sort of counterfeit, that was a threat in the early use of metal coins.\nMaybe... What is your report about? Sounds interesting...


DO NOT TELL ME TO JUST GO TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE ARE GOING TO THE DOCTOR ASAP. I JUST WANT YOUR OPINION, PLEASE.\n\nMy wife has severe pain in her upper stomach, just below the rib cage. It comes for 4 days, then goes away -- only to come back a couple of weeks later. This has happened 5 times since early December.\n\nIt is a gnawing, sharp, consistent pain. It hurts a lot. It feels like there is pressure on her chest or stomach. She says that besides the gnawing pain, it feels like someone is sitting on her. It hurts to take a deep breath. One time she threw up because of it. \n\nIt gets better if she lies still for a long time, and hurts if she walks around. Also, she says she has been burpy lately and that the burps seem to help her feel a little tiny bit better.\n\nThanks for reading all this, and please tell me what you think.\n\nGall bladder trouble?\nStomach ulcers?\n\nThanks

Without seeing any lab results or knowing any of her medical history, it is difficult to know, but I'll take a couple guesses:  It could be her gallbladder based on the symptoms you describe.  People do have gallbladder "attacks" that come and go and make them nauseous.  She could have GERD, something more commonly known as reflux, since she is having stomach pain and been burping.  Unfortunately, although it is unlikely, it could be something cardiac related.  Women do not always present in a typical, tv-show manner with heart problems.  Your wife's description of pain in her upper stomach, below the ribcage that feels like pressure and is sometimes making her nauseous is a common cardiac chest pain description...and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've had patients with cardiac chest pain tell me it "feels like someone is sitting on me." More likely than not, your wife is having some sort of GI problem.  Either way, I'm glad to hear she's going to see a doctor to get it checked.  Good luck.


I bought a keg for stength training and I want to remove the valve and re-fill the keg with water. Anyone know how to get this accomplished?

I had the same problem, only I was trying to make a lamp out of one. I tried everything I could think of to get the valve out. Finally I took a giant drill bit and ended up drilling the ball and housing out. Worked for me, but I don't know how you would seal it so the water don't splash out.


My printer got broken and i need to print a document exactly as appears in my screen, so i cant just copy and paste cause then i wont get the background of the document. How can i save my screen then as an image to print it out in another computer?

Ok, here is what you do, \n1. Get the computer to display what u want to save as an image \n2. Then press the print scree key, it is sumwhere near the scroll lock key,\n3. then open any image editing software like paint.\n4. Just click on edit and then paste\n5. then go to file and save the image as .jpg\nIts as eazy as that.\nI hope this solvwed your problem.\nPeace


I'm in love with this guy and he's a friend of my brother; but I only see him during soccer.  I've spoken with him a few times over the internet and we had one really good conversation, with facts even my brother doesn't know about him. I once had a conversation face to face with him; but I heard afterwarts from my friends that I blew it. I also have contact with him over another site, a kind of artsite. I have commented on some of his pictures and he commented on some of mine. He even put a picture that I took on his avater. Only now I have this feeling that he's ignoring me. He never talks back to me over the internet and the avater is gone. Has he got no interest in me? Or was I just imaging things? Has he just "dumped" me, so to speak? \nps: my brother doesn't want to help me

It sounds like he probably had some interest in you but possibly not beyond friendship.  I'm betting he has another girl that he likes and he is shutting you out because of that.


Because I would not role play and reverse play he hired another woman.. it must be true. If you dont do what he wants hell get it somewhere else

Sorry, but this doesn't sound like a healthy relationship to begin with. If this dude cares more about his fantasies than about you..................dump him.


I am trying to buy a laptop and I can use some recommendations.thank you

Check out Dell... You can get discount coupons at deals2buy.com. You can have really good configuration for $1,000 to $1,300 + Tax if applicable.\nIf you dont have budget constraints then go for Apple's MacBook Pro. At $2,499 you can get a 2.16 GHz, 1 GB RAM and 100 GB Hard Drive beauty.


That is to say, for what do you want to be remembered?

I recently lost my mom, this was hard because she was only 50 and it was completely unexpected. At her funeral service everybody in our very large extended family had something good to say, and not a single person had any negative. That is what I want.


Some people say that theres no such thing as a bisexual. I am on the other hand am bi myself. I dont appreashieat being told that theres no such thing as being bi, and that I'm just prevertid. Well I already know that I'm perverted. Then there are the people who say that were just trying to get attenchion. I'm NOT just trying to get attenchion on hear. Why do people hate us so f***ing much?. Oh and I cant froget the people who think that were just sick and they want to get rid of us. If anyone can give me an answer I would greatly appreashieat it.

because people are small minded and cant accept the fact that people may be different from them and even though they are they have feelings of their own.


Why is it that people are so anti-gay? and I want reasons other than "its a sin", or "its just unnateral". If its against your religion, great. If you must put that, explain, in detail, why God hates gay people. And animals in nature do show homosexual tendencies, like snow monkies, certain birds, and I've even seen two female cows getting it on!

Well, for most people it's mostly the propaganda that the media has been shoving down our throats recently. They have instilled the fear of Gay people in ourselves. Most people think of Gay people in a sexual concept, while it's not. Gay can mean happy, colorful, etcetera. I mean, why would they say "Don we now our gay apparel, Falala, lalala, la la la" if they thought Gay was all bad? A sin? I wouldn't think of it exactly as a sin, but most heterosexual people don't like the whole "doing it with another of your sex" thing. They think of Gays being all M.J. and "I'm gonna hump you" kind of thing.  If you watch Food Network, there is a show starring two Gay men in a cooking show. Has Food Network canceled it yet? I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure they haven't. So what if two guys or girls like each other to get married or be in an affair? It's really none of our business, just the couple in qusetion's. If they have sex together, good for them! They're happy. Whoop-de-doo. It's not our business, but theirs. I don't think that God hates Gay people. He regards them as a way of life. Everyone truly is afraid of the way some people express their gayness.\n\n\nHope this helps!\nP.S. You spelled unnatural wrong.\n-crad010


I still really truely love this guy from my longest relationship. i don't know how to tell him that i still love him.

wow thats tough. i think you should tell him yourself because if people find out then rumors will start.. and if its a good reaction or not .. at least you let him know u still love him & hopefully da reaction is good!


Yes because to find slope you need change in y and change in x (or whatever coordinate system you use).\n\nSince you have both two x's and two y's then you're set.\n\nUse this formula: Δy/Δx where Δ stands for "change in" or (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)\n\nUsing the coordinates listed:\n(-2 - -2)/(6 - -8)=\n(-2 + 2)/(6 + 8)=\n(0)/(14)\n\nSince '0' divided by anything is zero, your slope is zero.\n\nThis would be a line that is parallel to the x axis 2 units below the axis.


is there any1 working in metallurgy? why not just write down id on msn messager,so we can communicate online freely.

My late father was a metallurgical engineer; I've a smattering of knowledge of it.\n\nMetallurgy is the science of making alloys and treating metal objects to achieve specific properties.  So, it not only looks at how to make an alloy with specific properties, it also looks at how to heat & cool it to achieve other properties.  A lot of the work involves changes in the crystal structure of the finished metal, caused by assorted things.\n\nNot much help, but it's what I have to offer.


I'm trying to convince members stroke recovery group that a low sodium diet will help.  I'm planning on showing two piles of salt to them.  one based on the average US daily intake, the other on how much will kill you.

Hey...if you are talking to a stroke group, addressing salt "toxicity" is not really what you want.  Salt toxicity occurs in people with renal problems or others with very high exposure to salt (usually intravenous).  Another word for such toxicity is called hypernatremia and has nothing to do with stroke.\n\nI believe what you are after is to convince these people about salt's negative impact on their stroke risk.  That's admirable and you should do it by linking salt intake to high blood pressure, which then increases the risk of stroke, rather than toxicity.  I like your idea of visually representing the salt intake and I'd do it this way.  A common recommendation for salt intake in people with high cardiovascular risk factors (like stroke victims) is to consume no more than 2 grams of salt a day.  The less the better really, so just show them, say, what one gram of salt looks like.  We know that an average American consumes about 4-5 grams of salt every day.  So you make a 5 gram pile of salt next to that.  That educates them how much they are overeating, rather than tells what would kill them like you wanted to show with the toxic dose (more practical that way, I think).  Then you can suggest the changes, namely to never use a salt shaker (there is more than enough salt in food already), avoid processed foods, avoid canned foods (including veggies...use frozen instead), avoid junk food etc.  Good take away message for everyone would be...look at the label...if it contains more than 250 mg of sodium / serving -- forget it.  Hope that helps!


i'm trying to compair the federal and confederal system

All political systems may be evaluated according to their geographic distribution of power. A unitary system is one that concentrates all policymaking powers in one central geographic place; a confederal system spreads the power among many sub-units (such as states), and has a weak central government. A federal system divides the power between the central government and the sub-units. All political systems fall on a continuum from the most concentrated amount of power to the least. Unitary government s may be placed on the left side, according to the degree of concentration; confederal governments are placed to the right; and federal governments fall in between


I am 14 and my teacher says I don't need academic support and I need emotionally support and I don't understand why. I don't have any problems in school and I was never in trouble. I don't have any personal problems either. So what is my teacher saying that. I am afraid that my teacher might put me in serious counseling which I don't need to. HELP.

do you whine and cry or bust in to tears about a low grade ? seems like more to it then what your saying or trying to hide. why not ask him/her to tell you why they think that way

Spying on the US citizens, wiretapping phones, etc.

He has set himself up to be the closest thing since Nixon to being a dictator. He has an Republican congress and Judaical so he can almost run amok, I was so glad to see them stand up to him on the ports deal, not that I believe it was a bad idea but at least congress showed some spunk, had it not been an election year I doubt it would have happened though.


sleep on your side...have pillows that makes you comfortable sleeping...don't eat when your about to go to sleep, say 30mins-1 hrs...stop smoking or lessen your smoking habit as well as drinking...


Okay so my girl says that I pull all my intimacy from sex, and she needs more off a foundation of intimacy outside the bed before we continue to have sex.  What does she mean?  She says the sex is good, but she wants to make love and that we had sex to early.  She is fairly conservative about her own sexuality, i.e. hasn't slept around.   Oh and I think she thinks less of me b/c I have had more sexual partners.....Need some help on this ladies, I like this girl and want to do the right thing!

Men and women often view sex differently. Men focus on the physical while most women focus on the emotional aspects, especially if they haven't "slept around". If you want to do the right thing ask her what you can do differently. What does she need to satisfy her intimacy needs. Try concentrating on her MIND and not her body. Our brain is the largest sex organ we possess... USE it. Tune in to what she needs and give it to her. Showing her you desire more than just her body will go a long way.


I ask that as one who is part Cherokeean.Wouldn't you liberals feel better back in Europe?Shouldn't you put your feet where your mouth is ?

Hey...onanutmission... in case you haven't noticed the Reverend here isn't stirring sh!t up, he is making you closed minded jerks look at yourselves for the idiots you are.  You are the one getting all bent out of shape over what the good reverend here is doing.


I've read a book by Carl Jung, and am now wondering if it is possible that psychics, without realising it, are simply people who have a natural talent for tuning into other peoples subconcious animas, and it just seems like they are talking to spirits? The mind is a much more powerful tool than we give it credit for right?

It is the Quantum Field,we are loosing strength in our mind not growing,just look at the youth of today.


What is your favorite salsa band or salsa singer?

Old school is much better because our new stuff mainly talks about suicide, drugs, hoes, heart-ache. Which it gets so tiring. I doesn't last as long. But old school it never gets old, for my parents it takes them down memory lane.


I'm looking to download (legally of course) songs to my mp3 that will be great to workout to, especially for running...\nAny suggestions would be helpful.  I like pretty much all types of music just not hardcore rap or techno.\nThanks!

Buy or download a good dance compilation (mix) album =) Or if you're not into that stuff, blast your favourite songs - mine keep me happy and make me hyper =D


Not the StarTrek ones (they are well documented)

When I started this project, I had no idea how big it would get. I figured that I would just use a few of my reference books on naval ships so that people on the Netnews group rec.arts.startrek.misc would ask fewer uninformed questions about naval history. I used to post it regularly to that newsgroup, until Joe Creighton offered to put it on his "Star Trek Archive" web site. (April 1995) The hit rate astonished me! People were really reading this stuff! Anyhow, people started e-mailing me with additional information, suggestions for improvements, etc. It got to be a bit overwhelming. Now I'm finding that it's not just Star Trek fans who are interested. I'm now finding links to this site on real naval history sites! I suppose I should point out to any legitimate naval historians out there that this was originally designed for fans of the various Star Trek television series, and so references to future history (23rd & 24th centuries) and an obscure incedent aboard CVN-65 in 1986 involving one Pavel Chekov are of course, fiction. I was also a bit sloppier about references than I should have been. When I started this, I was doing it for a (then) small community of Star Trek fans on the Internet, and I wasn't really planning on it being an academic work with footnotes and references. Some things got lost in the shuffle, and probably a few errors have crept in during transcription. Nevertheless, I've tried to at least list my sources, and thank those who have contributed. Thanks for reading! \n\n\n1705 - 1707 6th Rate Vessel.

No, not presently, but Hugh Hefner's left OH group is ionically attracted to Vice President Dick Chaney's lesbian daughter's Methyl Group on a recent excursion of the "Marslander" probe under great duress. The answer is thus ironically "True" and "False".


and don't give me the old "it was the only way to win the war" garbage either. why not drop the bomb on a military target instead of helpless civilians? twice!! i'm sure japan would have surrendered just as quickly if we'd detonated a few NEAR them, to display the power, and thousands of poor bastards just trying to live like the rest of us would have been saved instead of wasted.

The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan were on cities with no significant military targets. I had family on both sides of WWII and lost family on both sides. Dropping the atomic bombs took a lot of consideration from the government back then and decided that it was the only option they had to avoid large scale death invading, both to the US and to Japanese civilians. If it had to be done, then I agree with you, why not a legitimate target? Pearl Harbor was a military target attack by "surprise". The Japanese officials who were to deliver the notice of war that morning were delayed in a US waiting room and were not able to deliver the notice prior to the attack. War history is written by the victors, so it was a surprise. To rally America into war, the President called it a surprise in his radio address. I ask any of you to take a trip to Hiroshima and visit the museum. My mother's family was on the other side of the mountain range from Nagasaki and that is what saved them, but they did witness the cloud, had some affect of the fire, and saw the destruction when they went to help. Japan's research at the time determined that the bomb was not possible with the technology available, so they did not believe the US's claim they had it. Japan was negotiating for surrender after the first but the US want unconditional, so dropped the second. I understand the decision to drop, just not the target.\n\nPaulHalloway-I do disagree with you on the legitemacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki being military targets. May 1945 the target committee listed Hiroshima as a class AA target using year old inteligence. The depot had been moved in Oct 1944. Nagasaki was never on the Target committee's list. The only other reason for Hiroshima to be targeted was the terrain and larger city. Mountains around Hiroshima would increase the affects of the blast and the size of the city  would allow that if the bomb was off target, would still cause mass distruction and casualties. It was also in the original plan recommendation to follow the bombing by an incendiary bombing of the city. Also the orders from Gen Spaatz on July 1945, identified the city as the target, not any military base, contrary to Truman's direction to Sec. of War Stimson.


When you are a full time employee for a very large express delivery company can they force you to take a 2 hour lunch just because they don't have enought work for you between your deliveries and your pick ups?  Isn't that like having you on stand by right in the middle of your work day?  This happens to my hubby alot and we don't think they can legally do that. It just stretches out his day that much longer. Please help.

MODIFIED  3/29/2006\nAssuming he's not covered by a contract.\nThere is ,in Ca., a limit to the length of the meal period  of "at least 30 minutes"(conditionally) but not over 1 hr.(currently under review). If he is not relieved of all duty it would be considered hours worked. It is considered a split shift which the employer is required to record his  "split shift intervals". (there are potentially penalties) IWC 9-2001 states in 4 (C) "When an employee works a split shift, one (1) hour's pay at the minimum wage shall be paid in addition to the minimum wage for that workday, except when the employee resides at the place of employment." \n\nThere are MANY opportunities in the truck driving field. If the company can't or won't work with him he could easily find another company. Just a thought.\n\nIn a letter dated 2002-12-11 the DLSE states that a meal period does not exceed 1 hour, so your husband is working a "split shift".\n\nBelow is the site for the Ca. IWC Order for THE\nTRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY. It gives just SOME of his rights as an employee in Ca.\nThe second link is the location of the letter.\nThe third link is thec DLSE Wage Claim Office locator.

And why do so many people call anyones religious opinion that they dont agree with blasphemy?

Others have done well describing blasphemy as: speaking against God (either His character or works), and/or acting in a way that contradicts God's character while claiming to represent God.\nTo answer the other half of your question, people often refer to any belief that they disagree with as blasphemy, but just because something is called blasphemy does not make it so.\nJesus was called a blasphemer by the religious 'authorities' of the time, yet He was not.\nAs for religious beliefs that are not true, heresy is a better word to use than blasphemy, even though heresies are blasphemous. So, while it is not totally inappropriate to use the term 'blasphemy', it is not the best choice of words possible in most situations.\nPeople often use words that they do not know the precise meanings of, so they are often misused, especially in regards to spiritual/religious teminology.


I'm looking for a college to play golf at; that has a pretty good team.

September 2005 Golf Digest did a feature on college golf.  They broke them down in a number of ways, including skill, academics, balance, and available local courses. The article is really indepth and has a lot of great information about coaches and other players, and I couldn't do it justice summarizing it, so see if you can find it at your library.\n\nDuke was ranked number 1 though.
