My exhusband who has choked me and put a bruise on my 1 year old daughter just got custody of my daughter and my 2 year old son. He said that I am not going to ever see them again and I do not want to pay child support on my babies if I am never going to see them again.

Child support is calculated by a strict formula (at least in my state).  This includes who has custody of the child for what percent of the time.  So the answer to your question is that, depending on your income level and some other factors, you may have to pay support- especially if you do not have custody of the child.  You'll have to contribute to the expenses of whoever is caring for the child.  Get with domestic relations or an attorney for details.  Your state's website may have more info about child support as well.  Hope this actually answers your question.


THIS WINTER MY PUGET SOUND ENERGY BILL HAS BEEN $6.65  I CALLED AND TALKED TO A LADY AND SHE SAID THAT SHE WOULD FIX THE NEXT BILLING. THE NEXT BILLING IS THE SAME....I SENT THEM $200.00 SO I WOULD NOT BE TOO FAR IN THE HOLE . SO NOW WHAT CAN I DO  ....THEY GIVE ME CREDIT FOR THE $$ I SENT AND NOW THEY SAY NOTHING IS DUE.  THEY JUST TOOK OFF THE $6.65 I OWED, AND SAY THAT I HAVE A CREDIT.  SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT. LIVED HERE OVER  30 YEARS.......A BLONDE IN SEATTLE

Definitely take it to a higher level. Otherwise, they'll sock you with a huge bill when they finally figure it out and treat you like you tried to cheat them out of something.


How long does it take, do they work outside your house or do they need to install things inside your home?  Can someone walk me through it?

It takes anywhere from 2 to 5 hours (sometimes more) depending on the complexity of the install and age of your house. They install a fiber drop cable to the side of your house, install an optical network terminal (ONT) on the side of your house to terminate the fiber and connect into your home's copper wire, install a battery backup in the house as well as an AC power supply. They will also need to run CAT-5 LAN cable to your modem and router to support data service. They are trying to find ways to avoid that, but have not implemented a solution yet. If you are fortunate enough to be in an area where FIOS TV is offered, they also need to tap into your in-home coax wiring, or they will install it if it's not already present.\n\nIf you opt for data, voice, and video, price should be cheaper than you would otherwise pay the cable company, but with much faster data speeds and better TV selection.


any tips on getting in shape for basball season. i have a hit a way and bat. i have no 1 to throw the ball. any tips and excersized that xcan help me maybe be accurate and powerful on my throws, catcing the ball high  and batting. im a 1st baseman.

The simplest and most effective way to strengthen the right muscles for hitting is to swing something heavy every day.  If  you get a big heavy bat and swing it fifty or a hundred times while picking out something in front of you to swing through you can also work on leveling your swing, where your elbows are and all the fundamentals.  The most important things in hitting are bat speed and keeping your eye on the ball.  So practice what you do with  your head.\n\nWatch Mariano Riviera warm up and do that.  I have a cannonball that I pretend to throw and when I go to a game (I'm reduced to softball now) I throw much harder.  Get your arm warmed up and then work on strength with anything heavy you can keep in your hand.  It really works.\n\nStay off the juice.


The Bible gives us some Scientific insight that could be used\nin scientific analysis. On this basis, I think there was something else = the evolutionary formation of matter in terms of spining wirlpools rather then little bangs.\nIn this case The wirlpool described in the Bible would have taken a lot shorter time than what the BIG BANG imply.\nNotice The BIG BANG THEORY is still a Creation theory.\nI don't really know what kind of theory the Evolutionist really have ,I could never figure it out!Can we cathegorize them scientific or intuitional?

There are a lot of misunderstandings about the Big Bang theory that are suggested by this question. \n\n"The Big Bang Theory" was a derisive term invented by Fred Hoyle, who supported the solid state theory instead. Much of the early work on the big bang theory was done by a Belgian Roman Catholic Abbot, George Lemaitre. Pope Pius XII proclaimed that this big bang theory provided strong evidence for the existence of God, even before more supporting data was available. In the last few decades, there has been mounting evidence in support of the big bang theory, particularly the discovery of the 3 degree background radiation by Penzias and Wilson.\n\nThat does not mean that the big bang theory will never be superceded by any other theory. It is expected that eventually all scientific theories will be replaced by new theories that explain more of the data. If one of the theories you you allude to, or another, explain more of the evidence than the big bang theory, then it will have a chance to replace the big bang theory, and become the dominant accepted theory.  \n\nThere is no connection between the theory of evolution and the Big Bang theory. One theory is in biology and the other is in cosmology, which is a part of astrophysics. \n\nThe big bang did not really happen at a point, but everywhere. The attached reference gives a much clearer explanation of the big bang and dispels many misconceptions about the big bang.


was there any attempt by any state to drop out of the UN? \nwho is out of the UN other than Switzerland?

great question, ty. The history is clear. Neocons have long wanted the USA out of the UN. They do not support peaceful contact with other Nations. The Neocons always point to the fact that we pay the most. The truth is they do not want to share any power with anyone. They also have no interest in what the other countries think or say. Neocons like Bu$h think "my way or the highway". A UN peacekeeping force could be in Iraq now (no ours) but for giving up the power and the control of oil, the wealth and the Contracts.


We broke deciding that we were better as friends. She now has a new boyfriend, but tells me that she dosent want to be with him and be with me at the same time. And that if I got a girlfriend she would be jelous. We get along as friends, but somtimes I think we spend a little to much time together. Is she jest playing with me?

Those listed might be a good place to start gathering information.


swelling in leg will epson salt help relieve this?

It will certainly not hurt you.  Have you tried putting ice on it?  It is very good for swelling.


It is NOT the right answer. There are so many other ways to combat hunger and end famine. (if only they were financially beneficial to those with the power to implement them) Western countries are looking for ways to financially benefit from trade agreements and biotech contracts instead of altruistically wishing to end hunger and poverty. And all of it at the cost of the environment and human health and lives.\n\n"Resistance to GMOs in Africa made the headlines in 2002 when Zambia rejected GM food aid at a time of critical food shortages in parts of the country. \n\n"Despite pressure from around the world, the Zambian government maintains that it has made a responsible decision by not accepting GMO food aid. We argue that the long-term impacts of GMOs and products derived from them are not fully understood and, therefore, safety and caution should take precedence over other interests including international trade agreements," says Dr. Mwananyanda Mbikusita Lewanika, Executive Director of the National Institute for Scientific & Industrial Research in Zambia."\n\nGMOs are BAD for people and the environment.\nhttp://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/genetic-engineering/feeding-the-world-facts-vers\nhttp://www.alternet.org/story/11224/tp://www.non-gm-farmers.com/news_print.asp?ID=2080\nhttp://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/genetic-engineering\nhttp://www.truefoodnow.org/\nhttp://ipcb.org/


She told me she "might actually love him" but I feel like I love him too. Maybe not "love" but very, very strong like. I dared her to ask him to Valentine's Day dance but she didn't do anything.

Take it easy, and see who the guy likes, maybe he likes neither of you. Maybe there is one of you he likes. You both have the right to like the guy, so dont loose your friendship over it. Just play things out, and see what happens in the end...


Also state the name of your congregation.\n  \nI am looking for the order your congregation has, as:\n\n1.  Call to Worship\n2.  Singing Hymns\n... so on ...

Hi Aviva,\n\nI'm back attending the JESUS CHRIST THE SURE FOUNDATION (Isaiah 28:16), during Sundays.\n\nIn it the order is normally as follows:\n\n1. Call to Worship\n2. Singing psalms, hymns, songs..dancing..clapping..\n3. Introductory Prayer and more prayers\n4. Bible Study: Preaching and more preaching for 2 hours(not the same person, sometimes when one gets sick or has other meetings the other takes over)\n5. Music interlude: Singing or dancing clapping..joyous songs\n6. Offering prayer (for tithes)\n7. Tithing ( with music interlude)\n8. Thanksgiving and closing prayer\n9. Fellowship in Joyous music (there can be singing..dancing..clapping..talking..hi's and hellos and goodbyes or what suits the person) \n\nusually...takes about 3 and a half hours...\nGod Bless the congregations.

What is the best way to separate gold from other metallic and non metallic impurities?

I saw a very weird program on BBC America (or the discovery channel) where they made a furnace and put the ore in a cruicible with crushed glass.  After they melted every thing down, the impurities from the gold bonded with the crushed bits of glass, freein the gold from the ore.  You need a lot of heat and high temps, but no arsenic is required.\n\nAnother guy on the same program did the same thing by taking a carbon rod from a battery and hooking it up to 24VDC with two car batteries.  It heated it VERY quickly.  I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the program!!!!  It was using only 19th century technology to replicate settlers in Canada during the Yukon gold rush days.


Story: A friend of mine was in a restroom at a fancy resturant, washing his hands, when out of nowhere he noticed a man at the sink beside him.  The man was smiling radiantly, with more joy than my friend had ever seen in a person, and gushed "God Bless You!"  My friend thought it was very nice and said the same in reply.  He finished washing his hands and looked up only to find that he was alone.  He hadn't seen the man come or go.  In the dining room area my friend told his mom about the man and she insisted that no one entered or left the restroom except him- the door was in sight of her seat.\n\nMy friend totally believes this man was an Angel, and I think it's entirely possible.\n\nDo you have any Angel stories?  Ever experienced anything like that?

You may see an angel everyday and maybe not even realize it.


I am looking to sell my mobile home and would like to buy a house.  I just was wondering if it was possible to use my mobile home as a trade in.

Yes and no.  By the way, I am a real estate agent in Texas, although currently not active. Keep in mind also that rules and laws in every state are different.  You can confirm everything I'm going to tell you by talking to an experienced real estate agent or realtor and a real estate lawyer in your state.\n\nWhen you say "trade in", it's not like a car where the same company that sells new cars also buys used cars to immediately resell to someone else.\n\nThere are mobile home sellers who sell used mobile homes who can purchase your mobile home from you at the same time that you are purchasing a new house from someone else.\n\nYou can also find someone to buy your mobile home while you work the deal so that at the same time, someone else is selling you their house that you want to buy.\n\nYou can also sell your mobile home at the same time and to the same person who is going to sell you their conventional house.  Why would anyone who's selling their house to you buy a mobile home from you at the same time?  Good question!  If your mobile home is worth $10,000 and you were willing to sell it to the home seller for $8,000 in return for the convenience of you being able to move out of your mobile home and into their conventional home on the same day, why not, if the house seller felt he or she could make $2000 on the deal for their trouble by purchasing the mobile home from you and immediately turning around and reselling it to someone else for $2000 more than they paid for it from you?  It's also possible that the house seller might be interested in purchasing the mobile home from you and then renting it out to someone else who would want to live there.  Everything is negotiable in home purchasing and of course, the numbers I'm giving here are only examples.  What you negotiate with the home seller can end up very different.\n\nAs long as everything is above-board and legal, there's no problem.  You assure this by finding a real estate agent or realtor who is experienced and can advise you and get everything properly in writing.  You should also let a real estate lawyer oversee the transaction to keep you out of legal trouble.  This is partly the real estate agent's function but a real estate agent is just not as knowledgeable in the law as a lawyer.  And you're dealing in big money, so it's prudent to use both.  You should be sure and deal only with a REAL ESTATE lawyer.\n\nBy the way, if you find a real estate agent who says you can't do what I just told you, I suggest you keep looking and find one who's a little older and more experienced.  And maybe a little more hungry. (Some agents aren't that experienced and others might not want to be bothered with stuff that's out of the ordinary).\n\nAfter all this, as long as you find a bank that will finance your home purchase for whatever amount you need after subtracting the mobile home price from the house price, based on your income and credit rating, your in like Flint.\n\nGo for it!


the thing is that this is my first year in highschool and im kinda shy none i only my bestfriend and my new friend so my bestfriend has made like a million other friends and out of that 2 don't like me i was just wondering why i am a vey nice person but since those 2 don;t like me it feals like they are turning eveyone else agianst me

Maybe they are jealous of you. U R probably super cute, and to make themselves feel like they have control over you, they make you feel unworthy. Just move on, it's High School, and everyone fits in somewhere.


definition and scope of environment awareness

I asked if it was okay to say I was proud of my German Heritage. Do the attrocities of the Hitler crowd negate all the good that has come from the german people? Art, music, literature, food, engineering, science, and beautiful pale skinned, blue-eyed, blonde haired, 140 IQ me? Haven't other cultures blemishes in their past?

First of all, why do you care?  If you are proud of your heritage, then be proud.  Who cares what the haters think?  If your IQ really is 140, you should be smart enough to realise that your feelings and thoughts are all that matter to you.  Get over it, move on and be proud of your German heritage.  \n\nJust think - it was Hitler who "created" the Volkswagen (People's Car).  Look how popular it is today.

Particles approximately 3.0 X 10^-2 cm in diameter are to be scrubbed loose from machine parts in an aqueous ultrasonic cleaning bath. Above what frequency should the bath be operated to produce wavelengths of this size and smaller?\n\nTnanks\nBarbie

This is ultrasonic, not electromagnetic, so C is irrelevant.  The equation is:\nF=V/L where V=sound velocity in water (~1475 m/s), F=frequency in Hz, L=wavelength (0.0003 m)\nResult is you need 4.9 MHz or higher.


well it is not that simple the problem is starting like hat we are from diffrent nationalities and religions also but we do love each other in the beggining of our relation we both had a lot of diffrences between us that got us a lot of fighting but after a while i spoke to her and we disscused all the things that bithers each other and we promised that we both will stop doing these things i did but she did not there is two major things first if i do some thing she doesnot like she never tells and i act normal because i donot know but she starts to chnge and again we start fighting the second thing she knows very well that i hate when she does not answer my calls but she keeps doing it and what makes me crazy she never calls back also when she sees my calls that makes me feel that she does not give enough cre for this relationship also she keep listing to her freinds who keeps telling her that we are diffrent my freind r telling me the same but i do not care bcs i love her

say bitch listen here.if you don't respect me or love me i will never see you again.


someone has to invite you.  email me and I will. click on my name and you should see my email.


if radio waves are slower than light, then wouldnt gama and X rays be faster? or do all waves travel at the same speed and the light part is just a term, in that case, why couldnt we call it the speed of waves?

>>>>why can nothing excede the speed of light?\n\nLots of things can and do exceed the speed of light.\n \nNo information or mass can exceed the speed of light. Why? Because the speed of light is our one reference point. If anything exceeded the speed of light it would arrive at its destination BEFORE it was sent.\n\nIt's exactly like recieving a letter the day before it is written. It's impossible and  it makes no real sesne to ask why it can't happen. Cause has to preceed effect.\n\n>>>>if radio waves are slower than light\n\nRadio waves are just electromagnetic radiation. They travel at lightspeed just like all other EMR.\n\n>>>>>then wouldnt gama and X rays be faster?\n\nNo, they also travel at C. They just have higher freqencies.\n\n>>> or do all waves travel at the same speed and the light >>> part is just a term\n\nWaves have all sorts of speeds. \nOcean waves travel at variable speeds, often les than 10  kms.hr. \nSound waves travel at a bit over 1000km/hr. \nLight waves travel at the speed of light.\n\n_______________\nInfinity said:"By the way, the quote "Lots of things can and \n>>>>>>do exceed the speed of light" is entirely false.\n\nI really, really wish people would do some basic research before attempting to adress points they clearly don't understand.\n\nThe expansion of the universe itself is faster than the speed of light (see the link below).\n\nAnd as wd5gnr and Hound both said it is perfectly possible for non-information bearing events to propagate faster than lightspeed. We recently had an in depth discussion on the experiments which have managed to produce pahse vlocities hundreds of times faster than light.\n\nAnd of course there are many many other events that travel at speeds well in excess of C.\n\nReally Infinity, you should at least take the time to do some research before correcting others. It saves you embarassment of this kind. More importantly it prevents you misleading others and spreading your ignorance.

i was just wondering if it was love to a man r if they r just horny?  men fall in and out of love so fast and i think if you really love someone that its not so easy to fall in and out of love. so why do men tell you they love you if they dont unless their just horny dogs?

That depend on the age of the man. A man of seventeen saying I love you tranlates into "when do we have sex?"\n A man of say 45 who says I love you, generally means it, although it can tranlate into "do you still love me?"

I know women I work with and women I went to college with who repeatedly have asked for advice about what to do because they have "fallen in love" with married men. They never take my advice, probably because it's not what they want to hear, but what is it that makes these women think the guy is actually going to leave his wife for them?

One of the worst things about dating a man like this, is that he is never going to be around for the holidays! Christmas, Valentines Day, Birthdays, Halloween...(just kidding) well you get the idea. And she will never be able to meet his friends or the friends of their marriage, and basically she is the secret, in his life. Usually a married man is very romantic to the *other* woman. However all the sneaking around, the late phone calls, etc...she will wake up and cry over it one day when she will need to call someone for something very important and he will not be able to be there for her! This is when she will realize that the intimacy they share is kind of false! Usually the *mistress* enjoys the passion and the excitment! However in the end...it reflects that she is wasting her time and energy, on a selfish man that she is best not to marry, because all the *wife trashing* he talks, will only be switched on her! She has a low self esteem to accept a relationship like this in the first place! That is why, I think.


I heard some people strongly advocating this theory. If so what is the scientific reason. I do not Know no really.\nIf it is less harmful, is it as good as,  or better than sweet fruits?

I am flying from Oklahoma City to San Franscisco in a couple days. I have 1 layover in Dallas, TX.\n\nA few months back, I got a speeding ticket in Abilene, TX. I am in the process of taking care of it now (I do not live in Texas), but a miscommunication caused that Texas county to issue a bench warrant for my arrest.\n\nI am taking care of it now with the DA in Abilene, and he said that the warrant will be nullified in a week when my check for the ticket, etc. clears.\n\nHere's my question: "Will I be arrested when I go through security in the Dallas airport (because of the Texas bench warrant), or is it true that they do not actually check the state and local stuff like that since they are not technically state law enforcement officers?"\n\nSomeone help! LOL!

Do I know for sure? no. But I doubt it.\n\nThe ticket agents check for names on the Do Not Fly list. But they don't check for bench warrants. Otherwise, if they did they'd catch a lot more deadbeat dads.\n\nPassing through security you are asked to show ID, but they want to match it to your boarding pass. If you're really that worried, don't exit past the security checkpoint during your Dallas layover.


If my home value increased for more than $250K, how can also save tax for the additional increased value at the selling time? I'm single.

and some of it's members are Mexican-Americans. How can they hate on their own kind like that? It's sad!

I agree with you about the xenophobia phenomenon, like many occurrences in life these things tend to resurface in a cyclic fashion( nazis, KKK, minute men, crusaders,etc). What once happened will happen again. I'm not so sure about minute men being mexican americans since people of hispanic origin from Texas are texans not mexican americans, remember that they were there before Texas became a part of the USA. I'm not sure either whether Texas at any point in time abandoned its Republic status or it just was not taken into consideration for its annexation they still have a lonely star flag. So, in light of this consideration in case it is true that Texans of hispanic origin form part of the minute men they would be doing this as texans not as mexicans in any case it is xenophobic as well.Then again, it's just my point of view. Thanks.


Jet Li VS Chuck Norris\nWho will win the fight if it happens? Give explanations or details why do you think would win.

Jet Li\n\nWhile ole Chuck has alot of experience, I believe the Jet is alot faster/quicker on his feet. \n\nBut I will give Chuck pts for having that great body at 66, I've NEVER see ANY 66 year old with a totally in shape body. (face always could have used work tho) Guess ya can't have it all.


I work for a community action agency with limited resources, but the ability to partner with lots of people.

Call your local United Way (or similar agency) to be sure that this is not already available in your area.\n\nIf it's not, contact your local churches, Salvation army, schools, local government and determine their requirements for doing a "coat drive" and contact local schools and churches and other agencies to get a list of the kids who may need the coats. (For privacy reasons, you may not want to handle actually names, but just request a "head-count".)\n\nYou may also want to approach your local newspaper to see if they would be willing to run ads for your "collection day" event at a public location, and a second ad for your "distribution day" event. You may want to ask local dry cleaners and laundry mats to exchange the cleaning of the donated coats for mention in all freebie advertising and in the "Thank you" letter to the editor that you will write for all of those individuals, businesses and agencies that participated in the event -- be sure to include numbers on how many needy children were served by the drive and announce it as an annual event, if you plan to continue the service in future years.\n\nYou may even want to work with a local business each year to provide hot cocoa and cookies for those who show up to get the coats. Give your event an appealing name "Keeping Cozy" or something and create a theme that carries out the message.\n\nBest of luck!


I'm actually doing a research on it. Thanx :)

The fashions in the movie reflect the fashions of the time of the Titanic. If you look up "Edwardian fashion" you should see similar clothing.  ("Titanic era Fashion" will work, too, as the movie has created a lot of interest in costumes of that period) Sounds like a fun project! Enjoy!

All my weight is from when I became preganet, I used to weigh 120 lbs.

You really need to try this. I believe you will be amazed. If you are not eating three meals a day then you need to start. If you are then you will need to replace at least one of those meals with a protein shake. You should start feeling a metabolisim boost. This will be the begining to your weight loss. If you wanted to add a supplement then you could. I would do some reserch before doing so. Most weight loss pills say in small print that diet and exercise is needed. They are enhancers! It sounds like you need some guidence and support. \n\nLinks for more info.


only recemtly have i felt like i could come out to my parents, but i am 31. all of the friends that i have come out to have been very supportful and loving. i think that my parents would be, too, but i don't know. i also have a boyfriend. should i let them know about that at the same time?

I say let'er rip all at once, like a bandaid, quick!  My ex-girlfriend didn't come out to her parents till she was 33 and told her about the girlfriend at the same time.  Worked out ok for her.  Good Luck!


In Austin Powers 1, Dr. Evil had a drill loaded with explosives and sent it to the center of the earth where the explosives would blow up and valcanos around the world would explode simaltaniously and destroy the world. If someone did that in real life, would it work?

It would be impossible to drill down far enough to cause that sort of catastrophe due to the increasing temperature as the drill got lower. The drill would melt. In addition, the heat would set off the explosives long before they reached a point at which they could set off any volcanoes.


Could you tell me what the 2 plays Macbeth and a Mid Summer Nights dream is all about?

Macbeth is about Macbeth's bloody rise to power, including the murder of the Scottish king, Duncan, evil deeds generating still more evil deeds. An integral part of the play is Lady Macbeth.\n\nThe main plot of Midsummer is a complex contraption that involves two sets of couples (Hermia and Lysander, and Helena and Demetrius) whose romantic cross-purposes are complicated still further by their entrance into the play's fairyland woods where the King and Queen of the Fairies


We went to the zoo in OKC a few years back and saw a dolphin show. They are no longer on the website and my kids want to go see them. A friend said they got rid of the “sea” animals permanently. Anyone know why?

They may have been on loan from another zoo/aquarium. Zoos will loan animals out for different types of reasons. The Columbus Zoo once had an exhibit for Panadas, but they didn't stay as a permanent feature. It was just a stop on the Panda's travel list. Animals are also loaned for animal husbandry.\n\nCedar Point in Ohio used to have an exhibit with dolphins, but they no longer do. The dolphins were probably sold to another sea establishment. Marine mammals tend to be moved around a lot from aquarium to aquarium.


You need education for careers but people have children without any specialized education, should Parenting Classes be manditory or at least offered in highschool?

I think that parenting classes should be mandatory in high school. With the teenage pregnancy rates getting higher the schools should make this class required. If not to help discourage teenage pregnancy to at least prepare them for what is to come. My high school offered a parenting class, which I took, but it wasn't mandatory.

I drink this stuff day and night, nothing else. When I stop I get caffine withdraw headaches. Is this stuff addictive and what are the consequences for drinking it 24/7?

Mountain Dew has the highest caffeine count for any other citrus soft drink, and it has one of the highest caffeine counts of all regular soft drinks. \n\nCaffeine can cause cardiovascular problems, becuase it increases your heart rate, elevates blood pressure, and contributes to the development of heart disease. It's also linked to coronary vasoplasms, the cause of 20% of all fatal heart attacks that kill otherwise healthy people.\n\nCaffeine stimulates the excretion of stress hormones which can produce increased levels of anxiety, irritability, muscular tension and pain, indigestion, insomnia, and decreased immunity. \n\nCaffeine can cause blood sugar swings, so diabetics and hypoglycemics should avoid caffeine. \n\nIt can cause nutritional deficiencies because it causes the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and trace minerals, and inhibits the absorption of some nutrients. \n\nFemale health problems like fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, inferility problems, miscarriage, low brith weight, and menopausal symptoms like hot flashes are all exacerbated by caffeine consumption. \n\nCaffeine can leave you vulnerable to a variety of health disorders related to inflammation, autoimmunity, and fatigue.\n\nIt can also cause male health problems, but seeing your avatar, that doesn't apply to you! And I believe that it can increase your rate of aging.\n\nUntil looking it up, I actually had no idea that caffeine was so dangerous!\n\nCaffeine is addictive, to answer your question. It's a drug, not an illegal one, but still an addictive drug. \n\nWhy don't you try mixing cranberry or grape juice with club soda, half and half? That is an excellent alternative to drinking soda, which, even without caffeine, can hurt your bones, especially if you're a female.\n\nJust so you're not scared too bad, just know that one can of Mountain Dew will not kill you. If you stop drinking it now, or start drinking it only in moderation (2-3 cans a week, maybe, instead of all of the soda you're drinking now), the health benefits will follow shortly.\n\nNow, as for caffeine withdrawal, it does exist and many people, when trying to give up caffeine, deal with it. The primary symptom is a headache. The good news is that it usually only lasts from 1-5 days and can be alleviated with a pain reliever like aspirin. More good news is that after those 1-5 days, it's gone for good as long as you stop consuming caffeine.\n\nOther symptoms: being irritable, unable to work, nervous, restless, and feeling sleepy. In extreme cases, there's nausea and vomiting. Again, these symptoms will go away if you let them run their course.\n\nI, too, drink caffeine and am trying to give it up. Good luck and let me know if you need any more help or anything!


Everytime my gf and I have a fight or disagreement I am the first to apologize. Most of the time it bothers me because I do not think I did anything wrong other then stand up for my thoughts and beliefs yet she is upset and I hate that so I apologize. Is it bad of me to be upset about haveing to apologize so much? The only aternative I see is to let the situation grow which will make the fight worse. Right?

The next time you are NOT fighting say the same thing to her that you have just said to us.\nAnd then jsut listen. And also when she is upset just stop talking completely. Do not say one thing. This is a great trick. Say not ONE WORD.\nLet her be on the defensive for a change, let her do the apologising. It is a great feeling. Stop talking to her, use all your strength to do it. Even if it takes several days, stop talking to her and let her start wondering what she can do to make things right. Put the ball in her corner and let her see how it feels. You will be doing her a favor by teaching her a valuable lesson and you will help your self esteem which needs  a lot of help, I can tell.


i heard her music briefly on the way to school and have to buy her album. please help!!!

Her name is Maude Maggart, she sings cabaret, and her debut cd is called 'Look For The Silver Lining'.


People say 911 happened because of bush? is it true? they say that he already knew about it and he just wanted to finish what his dad started! your opinion.?

If that is true then the bombing of the Cole and the embassy bombing happened because of Clinton.


A friend recommended removing my ex's number from speed dial, but that hasn't stopped me from randomly calling friends etc, and lately... really embarrassing myself. Occasionally, I'm not even sure of who I might have called, until reviewing my recent calls list.

hell no!!! They kick butt!!! I always get those calls and they are awesome.  Pure hilarity.  Also you can get friends to say things they normally wouldnt ever  say sober like ask them about the sex change operation they were considering a few weeks ago. Its soooo funny.


Ok, this question was asked in my Fire Law class.  Can a firefighter be sued for assault for attempting to rescue someone from a burning building against their will?  If they do nothing, they will be sued for negligence, right?

Yes, anyody can sue for anything they want to.  The sad part is what you describe has probably already happened.  I remember a case from when I was young that a woman sued the man that saved her,(his job), becuause he did not make sure that she was continually covered up thereby embarassing her.  He saved her life and had to pay her for what she felt like was a violation of her modesty.  Go figure!


There are always these advices that to get financially independent you should set up multiple sources of income that create money on their own, with only minimal intervention from your side. \n\nThe people who give these advices are always saying you've got to try out a lot and yada, yada they now make 1000s of dollars per months with these things. But they're not very clear on what actually really brings in the money?\n\nOr with which money you should survive during the time where you're figuring out your grand scheme of multiple sources of income ...\n\nSo, does anyone have real suggestions and examples for creating additional sources of income? Online and offline. And I'm not expecting high value income right now, it would already be cool to see a steady $10-$20 income stream being viable. Thanks a lot.

There is no magic investment out there which is going to provide you with lots of income with little work. Most reputable financial advisors will tell you there are only 3 basic passive investments that most rational people use:\n\n1. Bank accounts and Money Market accounts.\n(These usually barely keep up with inflation.)\n2. Bonds and Bond Funds\n(These currently don't yield much better.)\n3. Diversified Stocks\n(These Average 10% a year but have large swings in price)\n\nMost other investments you hear about are usually of questionable worth.  You can make money in Real Estate as a landlord if you are willing to put a lot of work into it.  Most good financial advisors will not recommend passive real estate investments.  (An exception is REIT's, but they are basically a type of stock)


We started dating about 3 months ago....he told me up front he had herpes....I waited a while before getting physical, but finallly decided i liked him enough and could see a future with him, to venture into that area. Recently, he told me that he thinks we're going in different directions in life, (which we kind of are, both being military and all) He thinks that it'd be best if we reamined friends, because he doesn't want either of us to get hurt. Makes sense I suppose. But, now...I'm kicking myself in the ass because I risked my own health by being with this person....

You risked it anyhow. Just to go doc to have test and you'll feel better, don't worry you'll be fine. Just be careful not to take this risk again.


i am looking for the lyrics to All By Myself by Haystak, From Start to Finish. i am not having any luck any where.


sure girls can be sexy, but i hear guys can do it too, share with me the secrets

be confident and smile.  be yourself, and learn to have a good conversation.  groom!  look in her eyes - she will melt!  have fun and get out of the house!


Where outside of the conventional bedroom was the wildest place that you have ever had sex?


i'm a female looking for a female pretty like myself in my area some thats fun and funny and like to go out and have fun

not quite sure but you can always try those online dating sites becaue you can find someone in your area..also i know some chatrooms are based on location and/or on sexuality or you can always make your own chat room on some sites like yahoo...i have met a couple of bi/lez friends that way.


Is there any sites out there that will pay me good money to play their games?

That is like asking if I can take your money while swimming in your pool. Anyways, www.pogo.com may be around whta you want.\nSorry :)


i want to buy a PCI card for my ageing PC.(GeForce 5500 to be specific) I found only ebay.in offering that. But i think the pices there are 2 high, so if I could find a dealer myself, it would be better.

Yea you can buy nVIDIA Cards in India.Refer to or buy the latest edition of PC magzines like PC Quest Or Digit.There are a lot of dealers mentioned i guess.

Will a hub work to give 2 computers access to internet using only 1 ip address?

Ok let's start with a review of the answers so far.\n\nImperial: "they're both used to provide internet connectivity."\n\nSorry that's not right. I can use a hub in a network with no Internet connectivity.\n\nMarker: "A router uses software to send the information directly to the intended port."\n\nI understand what your trying to say but it didn't come across right. A router uses internal software (firmware typically) to direct traffic to the correct network.\n\nexquisite Computers& PU's Q&A: "Router are used in wan as the hub is use in lan Thats the main difer in these"\n\nNOT! Dude please get some networking knowledge before making such wrong, blanket statements. I can have a router in my lan but it cannot perform the same task and a hub in my wan certainly doesn't.\n\nThe other answers are pretty good so I won't repeat what they said.\n\nTo answer your question you need a device that will at least do NAT and a hub cannot do this. Typically your probably looking for a home type DSL/Cable router. For businesses I would suggest something higher end and a asking for support from a local technology provider


I had a baby 16 months ago & I loss about 30 lbs but now I'm gaining it all back.  I'm trying so hard to lose the weight again but it's not working.  I'm feeling week & sick all of the time.  I don't have the energy to do much more than what I absolutely have to do already! My face has also broken out big time & I stay really red on my cheeks & nose! Any suggestions?

try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck

Do Jewish women wear slacks ?\nDo Jews have to go to temple ever week ?\nDo Jews sing in temple like Christians do ?

Yes, Jewish women cut their hair.  Some like it short, some long, it's a personal choice.  Some observant Orthodox Jewish women, cover some or all of their hair after they get married.\nSome Orthodox Jewish women wear slacks, but many only wear skirts.  Most Jewish women, however, are not Orthodox, and wear slacks - if they like wearing slacks.\nAccording to Jewish Law men, and maybe women, have to pray three times a day.  Orthodox men are supposed to  pray with a minyan - a quorum of ten men, and so go to synagogue three times a day. \nI don't know whether Jews sing the way Christians do.  Jewish prayer services on Shabbat - the Sabbath - generally involve a lot of singing, especially on Friday night.  There's also a lot of singing on holidays, and there are a lot of Jewish holidays.  There's isn't really that much singing during weekday prayer services, but when you pray a fixed prayer three times a day, that would probably be a bit much.


What happens if someone breaks a taboo in the middle east? Why are women treated differently in the middle east?

if you break the law in the middle east there are very harsh punishments. for example cutting of your hand or leaking a red hot spoon or sometimes death. women are treated differently because their culture does not recognize womens rights.


i am a nursing student in the phils. but will quit school due to  lack of resources, is there any scholarship grants or study now-pay later program that caters students like me? and what do i need to do?

Oh yeah, it just depends on what schools you are looking at. In NC where I live there are alot of nursing schools around me that will "forgive" your loan (clear it out) if you agree to work for the local hospitals for a certain amount of time. Ask your nursing department head or research the local hospitals.


i want to know if it is good and practice

it's a disorientation sexual. once you practice that, you may get trapped. it's like an estacy, like drugs


the over use of natural resources like minerals,coalas,fossil fuels etc

The United States uses 30 times the natural resources per person than most of the rest of the world.  These all use up energy which we buy from the mid-east and from Bush's friends.  They control our lives because of this.  Use less and we gain more control.  Consumption feeds business but ultimately leads to loss of real power and control.


I keep my vehicle outside and would like to know on which nights I need to cover it instead of srcaping the frost off in the morning.

for frost you need cold and humidity.\n\nby looking at the dew point and temperture you can tell what is going to happen.  if the windshield temperature lowers to the dew point condensation will happen.  if it's above freezing then dew will form but if it's below freezing it will condense as frost.  but if the windshield temperature doesn't lower to the dew point no condensation will happen which is why some nights you don't get any frost at all.


my boyfriend and i want to buy a home in the next year or so. and our credit is not so good. what is better. find a home to rent to own or just buy it? HElp me

Well now we want to sell but can't right now becouse of a lean from her icecream store. So we are kind of married but don't want to be. So you might want to get married first.


Does it mean I am expecting something from him? If so I am not a good lover?

Maybe you just want to be reassured that he loves you and that you want to know that you are good enough for him and that he thinks you're great and all.


is it for any economical spacious or technical reason

Large storage tanks are usually cylindrical and vertical for all three reasons you mention; economics, space and technical.\n\nUsing calculus (maxima and minima) it is possible to design a tank that contains the most volume for the least tank metal.  This also applies to canned foods.  Also, cylinders are very strong and can not bulge compared to the flat sides of a box-shaped tank.  Also, the pressure in the tank is greatest at the bottom of the tank and the cylindrical plates there can be thicker and stronger than at the top saving metal and tank weight.  Of course, the bottom plate of the tank could bulge except it rests on a concrete floor.\n\nAlthough a cylindrical tank has a smaller "foot print" than a square tank, it can rise to almost any height required to provide the needed volume, taking good advantage of the 3D space available.\n\nOn the technical side, a cylindrical tank is stronger when empty than a box-shaped tank and easier to transport to the needed location without damage.  It is easier to design good welds for a tank that will not constantly flex in operation as the tank is filled and drained and cylindrical tanks flex less than box-shaped tanks.  For onsite construction, it is probably easier to weld curved metal plates into cylinders than to make a huge flat plate from a patchworks of smaller plates.  Cylendrical tanks are less likely to buckle than box-shaped tanks due to ground tremmors.

I asked that beacause i see it all the time and i dont agree with it!

You don't AGREE WITH IT???  Do something about it!  I'm seriously shocked that you had to ask this question... I would move to protect ANY LIVING CREATURE whether I knew them or not.  I hate to post this huge peice of info, but you need to see it.\n\nEstimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend per year1 to three million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year.2 \nAround the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime.3 \nNearly one-third of American women (31 percent) report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives, according to a 1998 Commonwealth Fund survey.4 \nNearly 25 percent of American women report being raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, conducted from November 1995 to May 1996.5 \nThirty percent of Americans say they know a woman who has been physically abused by her husband or boyfriend in the past year.6 \nIn the year 2001, more than half a million American women (588,490 women) were victims of nonfatal violence committed by an intimate partner.7 \nIntimate partner violence is primarily a crime against women. In 2001, women accounted for 85 percent of the victims of intimate partner violence (588,490 total) and men accounted for approximately 15 percent of the victims (103,220 total).8 \nWhile women are less likely than men to be victims of violent crimes overall, women are five to eight times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate partner.9 \nIn 2001, intimate partner violence made up 20 percent of violent crime against women. The same year, intimate partners committed three percent of all violent crime against men.10 \nAs many as 324,000 women each year experience intimate partner violence during their pregnancy.11 \nWomen of all races are about equally vulnerable to violence by an intimate.12 \nMale violence against women does much more damage than female violence against men; women are much more likely to be injured than men.13 \nThe most rapid growth in domestic relations caseloads is occurring in domestic violence filings. Between 1993 and 1995, 18 of 32 states with three year filing figures reported an increase of 20 percent or more.14 \nWomen are seven to 14 times more likely than men to report suffering severe physical assaults from an intimate partner.15 \nDomestic Homicides\n\nOn average, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends in this country every day. In 2000, 1,247 women were killed by an intimate partner. The same year, 440 men were killed by an intimate partner.16 \nWomen are much more likely than men to be killed by an intimate partner. In 2000, intimate partner homicides accounted for 33.5 percent of the murders of women and less than four percent of the murders of men.17 \nPregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause18 , and evidence exists that a significant proportion of all female homicide victims are killed by their intimate partners.19 \nResearch suggests that injury related deaths, including homicide and suicide, account for approximately one-third of all maternal mortality cases, while medical reasons make up the rest. But, homicide is the leading cause of death overall for pregnant women, followed by cancer, acute and chronic respiratory conditions, motor vehicle collisions and drug overdose, peripartum and postpartum cardiomyopthy, and suicide.20 \nHealth Issues\n\nThe health-related costs of rape, physical assault, stalking and homicide committed by intimate partners exceed $5.8 billion each year. Of that amount, nearly $4.1 billion are for direct medical and mental health care services, and nearly $1.8 billion ar

You should work for the democratic party...You said it man. I've been trying to change my parents' minds about this for years. They just don't get it. Republicans "work hard" and don't want to pay taxes because they worked "so hard" to get that money. So they lower taxes. Then we, as a country, accrue debt. Then a Democrat gets into office and has to raise taxes to pay off the Republican's debt, so they look like the bad guy, and in the next election, everyone votes Republican. It's a horrific cycle of stupidity that always just comes down to money.


This guy at my son's daycare refers to me as mama ( ex. see ya later mama) while he refers to the other moms, including my sister, by their first names. At times it seems as though he is flirting but I'm not really sure. I could be imagining it. I haven't dated or anything closely related in about 8 years...so i'm a little clueless. So i'm not sure if I should be flattered that he calls me something different or if i should be offended that he may not know my name.

Given the choice I always say be flattered, it makes life so much more enjoyable.  If you want to find out for sure then take time to make sure he knows your name and give him an oportunity to talk to you a little bit.  It never hurts to give it a chance and find out if there is potential, especially if your atracted to the guy.


I am a fast bowler, played professional cricket in India for more than 5 years. I am looking forward to shift my base in US. Is there any way to contact current US cricket team or their selector? What is the procedure for selection in US cricket team?

Yes, there is a USA cricket team. They played in the Champions Trophy in 2004, although they were hammered by Australia and New Zealand.\n\nThe oldest cricket fixture in the world is USA v Canada, also.\n\nUsually, you'll join a club and if you're good enough, you'll be selected for the next level. I'm not sure about the levels in America. \n\nIf you go to this page:\n\nhttp://uk.cricinfo.com/db/NATIONAL/ICC_MEMBERS/USA/LEAGUES.html\n\nit gives contact details for all of the leagues in USA - that should provide you with a good starting point.

In medical school, they never told us that eating too much sugar brings on diabetes, but I do think there is some truth to what you say, that eating alot of sugar contributes to causing Type II diabetes.  (Right, type I diabetes, which is very severe insulin dependent diabetes, is caused by failure of the insulin producing pancreatic beta cells.  it isn't dietary at all)  In type II diabetes, your pancreas is still producing insulin, it just gets "tired" and isn't producing enough insulin, and/or the cell receptors for the insulin, where the insulin has to do its thing, get resistant to the insulin.  In a sense, you wear the system out eating too much sugar.  Also, many type II diabetics are too fat.  Getting too fat does something to make the insulin receptors resistant, and also causes a huge demand for more and more insulin.  Certainly eating alot of "sweet" foods contributes to being fat.  Also, chromium is a known cofactor required for insulin to act correctly.  Refined sugar has no chromium in it, neither does refined flour.  (whole wheat flour does have chromium in it).  So you are eating sugar and refined flour, which requires insulin and chromium to metabolize, but you aren't getting any chromium with it.  \n\nWhat does "junk food" have in it?  It is all high in sugar and/or refined flour.  I think these are the modern foods, which contribute to poor health, including diabetes.

its like a waltz type but very erie on the vocals almost opera style singing....no lyrics (sorry) but the style I say is gothic *the song was once featured on a program titled "vampires" debut in early 90's my brither recorded the song off the radio in 1987?...I have yet to know a group that has that style of music.....it is not industrial type it is classic gothic ...like gregorian chant style??? the vocals are either by a group of women or woman? like a carousel style with erie chants ....i do not know whether the song is old or mid 80's but it is classic ....no drums no high-tech instruments just vocal on (church) organ it is very difficult to explain...the only lead on the song its that the women appear to be crying sorrowfully at times.....

That kind of music can be considered Etheral Goth.  You might what to check out the bands on Projekt.com for leads, it's the kind of music they produce.  Don't know for sure what band it is, there are many like that.

he calls me everyday\nwe see eachother at school but we barly talk\nwe see eachother once a week at eachothers houses

When you see each other at school, there are other people around.  Perhaps he does not want them to overhear what you say to each other.  A man can really love a woman but not want to share that fact with others, especially a young man who knows how his buddies tease each other about their girl friends.  Measure how much he loves you by how he behaves when you are together in privacy, or relative privacy.  Now, if he was talking trash to you in front of others, I would worry.  But avoiding talking in that situation is not really an indication that he does not love you.

I mean if something in the body or the brain works different

Amongst the equipment in my lab. for science classes I kept at least 5 pairs of left-handed scissors. Many left-handers were delighted to be able to use scissors so much more easily.

How much 16% acid solution should be mixed with 48 gallons of a 64% acid solution in order to make a 52% acid solution?

We have 48 gallons of a solution 64% acid\nSo the acid quantity = 48*0.64\n\nWe will add X gallons of a solution 16% acid\nSo the acid quantity = X*0.16\n\nThe Total acid quantity= 48*0.64 + X*.016\nThe Total Volume = 48 gallons + X gallons\n \nThe Average Percantage of acid= Total acid quantity/total volume\n=[48*0.64 + X*0.16]/[48+X] ===== 0.52 as given\n\n48*0.64 + X*0.16 = 0.52*(48+X)\n48*(0.64 - 0.52) = (0.52 - 0.16)*X\n48*0.12 = 0.36*X\nX=48 * 0.12/0.36= 48/3 = 16 gallons\n\nWe must add 16 gallons of solution 16% acid

WE started looking for another house and found out when we would buy the taxes would be more than the people that lived there pay. Why is this? I am not talking about a brand new house. Thank you.

With a few exceptions, a house is re-assessed for tax purposes every time it is sold.  There are a lot of reasons for this, but the primary one, as always with taxes, is that the county can get away with it!  More realistically, since the value of the property probably went up (that is, you are paying more than the people you are buying it from paid when they bought it), then the taxes are going to go up.  If it were not so, eventually property taxes would cease to be a significant source of revenue for the county, because their expenses and other taxes would go up while property taxes did not.  Taxes also go up when a higher percentage is assessed by the county, but that will still normally be a much less significant increase than the reassessment.  That is because all home-owning taxpayers get hit with that, whereas the reassessment only hits a few at a time.  Votes, you know!


My parents are always fighting about me, I didnt know what to do so i cut myself, i couldnt stop until one of my teachers helped me i havent done it for 3 months but know my parents arent talking?

You are trapped in a room with absolutely no way to see out of it with three light switches on the wall. In 30 minutes a man it goiong to take you to another room where the light is for the 3 switches in your room. In order to live you have to figure out whick switch turns on the light. How do you do it?

Here's what I would do: I'd flip the first switch on for a long time (30+ minutes), the second witch I'd never switch on, and the third switch I'd turn on and leave on when the man takes me. So, if the light bulb is on, I know the third switch is the correct one. If the bulb is cold, I know the second switch is the correct one, and if the bulb is warm, I know the first switch is the correct one.


Why is it that when cops break the law they dont go to jail and get printed and put in a holding cell and held like the citizens do.

Because they always think that they are above the law. Even sometimes there are a minority of cases that put the police in trouble, but there'll always be some minister from the government that comes running along trying to save them. I say if you do something bad and stupid, you pay for it...

I'm astounded everytime I come on to this Q&A.  I know people aren't stupid, but why is spelling such a difficult thing?  I can differentiate between a "typo" and a blatant spelling error.  I would have never been able to surpass the 6th grade with some of the spelling "bombs" I read on this site.  It obviously is not important to those who refuse to learn, but they do look like unlearned people when they try to structure a sentence or question.

It's because public schools are too busy teaching students to be politically correct, etc. to spend more time on actual education.

A song by The Police, About 'I like to eat my friends...'. NOT sung by Sting. Who wrote it? Who was the singer? Andy Summers? or Stuart Copeland? What are the lyrics? What Album? What is the songs name/title? First to answer all is the big winner!!!

The song is called 'Friends' and was only ever released on the 1993 compilation, 'Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings'. Andy Summers wrote it and also provided the vocals.\n\n-- The lyrics\nI likes to eat my friends\nAnd make no bones about it\nI likes to eat my friends\nI couldn't do without it\nAin't a man or poet, friend\nI know just how you'll taste\nYour limbs go sliding down my throat\nAnd never go to waste\n\nYour death of course, will sadden me\nUntil I grok your essence\nI know your life was not in vain\nWhen digestion is commencing\nConsider this a celebration\nAnd the deepest pact of friends\nAnd I hope that you will dine on me\nWhen I come to an end\n\nEven friends may come to you\nWith a new found revelation\nBut think of it as life renewed\nAnd not their termination\n"To know you is to eat you,"\nShould be the code of lovers\nDeath brings the highest act of love\nPreserved for one another\n\nPeople say that what you are\nIs only what you eat\nAnd my friends become a part of me\nOh it's then that life's complete\nTo know you is to eat you\nThe act of love supreme\nEach one of us inside himself\nCan appetise the dream

its on my MVP 2004 game and doesnt know wat it means

middle relief pitcher and long relief pitcher, both pretty similar\n\nmiddle relief pitcher is someone who comes in early to relieve the starter in a close game but isn't a setup man or a closer. they are typically pretty good, just not so good that they are saved for the closing role\n\na long relief pitcher also comes into the game early, typically because of the starter getting injured or being ineffective.  they are essentially treated as a second starter.  because they sometimes pitch from the 2nd inning to the 7th, they are called long relievers

I came to USA 8 1/2 years ago with a visa J2 as a dependent of my wife, since she was a J1 student, now, she's gone back to our Country, but I decided to stay here, for two reasons number one: because I love this Country, and number two: because I hate the level of coruption of the goverment in my Country, my permit to stay in this country has expired last year on January the 31th 2005, and I really would like to stay here legal, and feel part of this wonderful Country, in which actually I've been feeling part of since I learned how to be communicated in a pretty good level of English.\nI thank everybody in advance for a real an good advice.\nbest regards !!  Joshua.

Joshua,\n\nWhen your wife (J1) left to return to your country, you became an illegal alien. Then you waited one year after your J2 visa expired to inquire how you could apply for permanent residence. All these actions could jeopardize any chance you had to letigimize your stay. Your employer could have filled out a form requesting your change of visa status. My best advice to you is to consult with a reputable immigration lawyer as obtaining permanent residency is not as simple as filling out some forms. Good Luck!

my sports team always wears sports bras that are too small to hold them in tight.

For the most part no. The reason is that if you are fully developed and/or during your period or possbibly pregnant you can cause the ducts within your breast area to become inflammed. But for the most part the answer is no. The only question I might ask is why you would want to wear a bra too small. However, a sport type bra or good fitting bra is better if you have large or even normal breast.

He keeps getting pulled over and getting tickets and instead of paying them he kinda blows them off so he gets put in jail for stupid stuff like traffic tickets and now he has like 3 warrents!!!

Just stop seeing him! If he keeps going to jail, that isn't good! But, if you are ABSOLUTELY sure he is the one, then consider talking to him about taking responsibility for his actions. But still, I would most likely dump him!! Just like someone said, if you have kids with him, then they would see their dad in jail and that would not set a good example.

I would have to say no. E=mc^2 is a version of einstein's relativity theory. It means that Energy is equal to Mass times the speed of light squared, and that there is an equivalence betwen mass and energy ( it means that no object with mass can go faster than the speed of light). But it has nothing to do with everything being made of nothing in my opinion. (see http://www.drphysics.com/syllabus/energy/energy.html)

On the 17th of Feb I walked into a hospital and fell down with a heart attack, when I woke up I was stable in the emergency room, the doctor said he was going to run some test in the morning.  The next morning I was feeling much better and they took me down and did a ultra sound on my heart and said it looked fine, then they took me over to do a stress test.  I could not walk on the treadmill cause I just had back surgery about 4 week ago so they did the tes chemicaly through my veins, it was to take about 4 min to do.  About 3 1/2 min into the test I felt very weird on my left side and was then told I was having a full blown stroke.  I was then rushed up to the ICU floor and I was not feeling so good, aparently I was in critical condition.  Mind you a week before this I also found out I had a bleeding ulcer in my stomach.  Anyway the doctors did some MRI's and CAT Scans on me and could not find where the blood clot was that was causing my stroke and they also could not get a hold of my wife.  About an hour and a half went by and I was more coherant so the doctor told me that I might die if they could not get the blood flow back in to my brain, so then he told me their was a new drug called TPA that might find the clot and dissolve it but that I would only have a 2% chance of living through it because of my ulcer and bleeding in the brain, there was only a 3 hour window to be abel to use this medicine and 2 hrs have already passed.  I decided a long time ago I was never going to be a burden to no one including my wife so I told the doctor to give me the TPA, and he did. I went into a coma for about 3 to 4 hrs but I did wake up and saw my lovely wife Lisa crying beside me, I told everything would be ok, she smiled a little.  About six hours had passed with no improvement until I looked down at my left toes and saw they were moving, talk about the best feeling you ever had in your life...so an hour later I was moving my fingers then my arm then my leg and I stayed up for the next 24hrs just moving my left side.  The doctors said my face lifted back into place, no more droop.  By Sat the 20th I was on my was home still a little week but with a clean bill of health.  The doctors said I get to go back to work next Monday and I feel great.  I have decided to take life by the horns and do everything I always wanted to, I just signed up for a Tai Kuan Do class.\n\nSo yes you can pray for me, pray this never happens again.\n\nThanks \n\nDon


is there a way to gain 'permanent' muscles? the same kind of muscle mass that you put on during puberty that never goes away? could i force my body into building that kind of muscle in a short period of time and then only work out once a week to maintain the overall mass with power movements like deadlifts,power cleans,military press and curls?\ni was thinkintg of upping my calories to 4,000 a day and then working out once every four days ferociously and do this for about three months. i tried doing this before but when i got off the diet, i'd shribble up.\n):

No muscles are permanent.  However to add muscle mass, use high weight and low reps, four or five times a week.  Reduce the weight and increase the number of reps for maintenance, and you can probably cut back to lifting two or three times a week.  Be sure not to neglect your cardio -- no point in having big muscles if you haven't the stamina to apply them.\n\nAs far as nutrition, make sure you eat carbohydrates before workout but NOT after, only protein.  More calories only makes sense if you're working out really hard, otherwise keep your same diet until you feel hungry.

At the end of a downhill skiing run, I hear cow bells sounding off, I guess I heard once before what they represented, but, I must have forgotten, so, I would like to be reminded once again, why are they sounded each time a skier finishes his downhill ski run?

Cowbells are sometimes popular noisemakers at sporting events, despite attempts to suppress them. Worldwide, in Skiing, cowbells are often rung vigorously at the start and finishes of races.


i have an online store and i am not sure how to price my goods especially because i am not sure how much i will spend on the marketing, also where do i factor in the costs i have already incurred?

First you need to check out what your competitors are pricing their merchandise.  You need to figure out how much it cost for you to make the product.  If you are doing an online business, where you don't keep the inventory and you choose your price, then you need to see what your competitors are doing and match that if you can or go a little lower.  Depends on what you can afford to do.

can u name the activities that cause it to break .. specially that i live in a society where a woman without hymen is considered a prostit-ute and is rejected by everyone even if she never had sex..

You can fall and break it but it isn't an easy thing to do.  If this is so important to your culture and you are concerned..... I am sure the culture has very strict guidelines for "Modest behavior" Protect yourself and your body by being modest and appropriate.  You have nothing to worry about.  Even if it does "break" if you respect yourself and behave yourself then no-one will have cause to question your virtue.


Do you really know how to forward e-mails? 50% of us do; 50% DO NOT.\n \nDo you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it? Every\ntime you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the people\nwho got the message before you, namely their e-mail addresses & names. As\nthe messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and\nbuilds, and builds, and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus,\nand his or her computer can send that virus to every E-mail address that\nhas come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those addresses\nand sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to\nthe site and he will make five cents for each hit. That's right, all of\nthat inconvenience over a nickel! How do you stop it? Well, there are two\neasy steps:\n \n  (1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that\nappear in the body of the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE\nthem. Highlight them and delete

Thanks for the info I'll pass it on to my friends.
