I just got hired to update a web site. And I don't know how to access it through my computer and become an administrator.

Hi,\n\nIf you were hired to do the update, the company which hired you should have given you the proper credentials to log in and update the content you are supposed to.  This means they needed to set up an account on the web server first.  You cannot just become an administrator from your computer.  This is as far as I will go because I don't want to un-knowingly enable a Denial of Service attack on a website or indirectly cause damage to another machine.

Me I would wear a black (or maroon) leather blazer jacket with a long sleeve shirt w/a collar, black leather pants and long black leather boots, something snazzy but apporpiate at the same time.

Depends on where you are singing and what the occasion is. You have to consider the lighting because that reflects heat and you don't want to sweat so much that it shows and knowing what the occasion is very much influences the attire.


A wreckless individual almost T-boned us while running a red light.  I would like to visit this person to let him know how under appreciated he is!

It sounds bad enough to actually pay the $30 and go visit the bloke. You know people are ...., never mind, personal issues


all i know is that they were together in 1994 and supposedly dated for 3 1/2 years i heard that he hit her and broke her jaw

He walked in on her with another man......


I have been with my current company almost 9 years and it is he one that relates to the job that I am applying for how far back do I need to go?

you can list as many as you want or in your case if you haven't worked at many jobs then list the ones that will benefit you for what you apply for


I am a lady. Please bear this in mind while answering.

Ensure is a drink that comes in several flavors, you can buy this at most any store, Walmart, K-Mart etc. It is high in calories and very neutrious, try this along with your regular meals. I think you'll be pleased. If you have an unexplaned weight loss you should consult with your medical Dr.


then maybe it bothered ancient peoples into making up stories about NOT being mere animals.  Similar idea in reference to dying and their being an afterlife.  Points to motivation to delude self and eachother.  Haven't you lied to children to make them feel better?

You know, I just listened to a recording by Kishori Amonkar, a Hindustani singer, and it was one of her really good ones that just takes the soul to another level.  For a moment, I honestly felt like I was experiencing the most amazing thing.  Let me try to explain it:  Basically, it was like I had here on this recording proof that "humans" exist!  Try to imagine what it would be like to have a recording of gods or angels singing, and it was proof that those entities really did exist.  Imagine how you'd feel.  That's how I felt when I heard this singing.  It was like I was being priveleged to listen to something absolutely amazing and unbelievable.  It was like, wow, they actually DO exist!  Here they are, human beings, singing to God.  They are really there.\n\nOk, this is almost impossible for me to explain, and I'm sure I didn't do a good job.  But my point is that we think there are apsaras or angels whose job it is to sing to God, and in reality, we know that humans exist who do this very thing.  So humans are astounding.  We should remember to appreciate this.  Humans are absolutely amazing when you think about it afresh.


Is it about suicide, drugs, or unbelief?. My friends and I can't figure it out. here ar ethe lyrics:\n"I tried to kill the pain \nbut only brought more \ni lay dying \nand i'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal \ni'm dying praying bleeding and screaming \nam i too lost to be saved \nam i too lost? \n\nmy God my tourniquet \nreturn to me salvation \nmy God my tourniquet \nreturn to me salvation \n\ndo you remember me \nlost for so long \nwill you be on the other side \nor will you forget me \ni'm dying praying bleeding and screaming \nam i too lost to be saved \nam i too lost? \n\nmy God my tourniquet \nreturn to me salvation \nmy God my tourniquet \nreturn to me salvation \n\nmy wounds cry for the grave \nmy soul cries for deliverance \nwill i be denied Christ \ntourniquet \nmy suicide"

i am huge fan of evanescence.......i have always seen this song as the story of someone (and because Amy Lee sings it, i usually think of the character as female) who is lost and confused in reality as wellas the bigger picture, and her suicidal deathbed (i feel the chracter is younger as well), she wants to embrace some higher power to *feel* wanted, but she thinks it may be too late for that.....this songs is the character's final cry for help from God.......it is about suicide, but is more importantly about finding personal worth

The no. of vertebrae is fixed to 7 in mammals while in aves the no varies greatly because of what this fluctuation is seen between this two classes ?  Why no. of vertebrae is fixed in mammals ?

First off, it's only the number of _cervical_ (neck) vertebrae of mammals that is fixed at 7, not all the other vertebral types. There are exceptions, such as the tree sloths with 6 or 9 vertebrae, and a manatee species with 6, but the number 7 is consistent in most species of mammals, from giraffes (although there was an interesting question about it here) to dwarf shrews. \n\nA recent hypothesis (1999) about the fixed nº of cervical vertebrae is related to evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) aspects. Apparently, in mammals the genes that regulate the development of the skeleton (Hox genes) are also linked to the proliferation of cell lines (which is in turn related to the origin of cancer). Thus, any change in the nº of vertebrae could bring about deletereous (negative) changes in the control of cell multiplication, and would be constrained by natural selection because although the fixed nº of cervical vertebrae is not particularly advantageous, the possibility of tumor development is decidedly disadvantageous.\n\nAnd with respect to canislupus' question: If there is such a constraint, maybe the different number of cervical vertebrae in sloths and manatees gives advantages that offset the potential problems. In the case of sloths, I can easily see that more vertebrae enable greater rotation angle of the head (these animals are very impressive when they move). In the case of manatees, I cannot think of an evident advantage, but then again, I don't know much about manatees.\nSee the article at the first link.\n\n------------\nUpdate: I've checked other sources and it appears that both manatees and sloths share one trait: low basal metabolism. This could allow changes in the regulatory Hox gene without the threat of cancer (see second link)\n------------\nUpdate 2: Canislupus, this is new knowledge for me too. That's why I like Answers :-)


A reserve is a an asset contra-account to estimate future losses from the current.  Historically, reserves could also be created by a board of directors, such as reserves for new plant construction.  That would now at most be restricted cash.  Reserves were required under the old tax code to permit earnings to be retained rather than distributed.\n\nRetained earnings are an equity account above the amount paid in.  They are earnings retained for use by the business and not distributed to shareholders.


It isn't like your normal blister or blood blister. It's just like a bump on my finger and it's been there for months. It doesn't bother me, but I'd like to know what it is. It doesn't have any kind of liquid in it, it's just hard. I think it could be a callus from my writing alot, but I don't know if that could cause one. Anyway, if that what it sounds like to you, how do I get rid of it?

Yeah I Have a really Big one Too. Its called a Writers Bump. There isnt really a way to Get rid of it but get a pencil grip, they work like a charm.

I was wondering if anybody has used PCDI/JMHS to recieve your Hich School Diploma. I have tried them but I never finished because I was afraid they were just using me for money at that nobody woudl accept the diploma as legit. So, if any one could please tell me if they have indeed used them and got good results I would greatly appriciate the help. Thank you!

I have checked them out through www.ed.gov, the department of Education, they are Legit.  I have been considering taking a course through them.  The their High School and Associate degree programs are accreditted (meaning you earn actual High school and College credit), the problem is with their certificate job training courses, college credits are not granted for those.  In retro-spect I SHOULD have taken courses through them when I was younger.  Now that I am 30 and still going to college.


Would you risk  promiscous revenge for a rat?

Number 1--the words Bf are not nice and anger will not alove your problems--leave them alone.   Let go, and let God.  Unless, you are willing to really forgive and stay together, from your tone I do not think that will happen, you can kill more flies with honey than you can with vinger, hold your head high, the best way to deal with that is to take care of yourself and do better.  Ignore them and keep moving on


He lives in a remote part of Greenland and import rules forbid any package longer than 4 ft. into the country.  The fishing rod was 4 feet and a linch. Just a little too long. How can the fishing rod be mailed without breaking the rules?  James would like it to arrive in one piece.


I think that it would boost the worlds ecomomy and have you ever heard of someone overdosing from pot I sure havent im not saying this because i smoke but because i care for the people who do if anything Alcohol should be more illegal than pot im mean come on how many die while driving drunk compared to those driving stoned?

Before I start, let me mention that I have not smoked marijuana in many years, but have certainly had my share of alcohol.\n\nMarijuana prohibition is idiotic, born out of ideas, fear, and propaganda from a time long ago.  It is safer than alcohol by far, and is only frowned upon because of the legality and social stigma placed upon it.  No one has ever died from marijuana poisoning, or pot withdrawal, yet both of these things happen with alcohol on a daily basis throughout the country and the world.  Riots are not started by folks who are stoned, but violence and drunkenness go hand and hand.\n\nIf the drug were made legal, it could be taxed and regulated just like tobacco or booze.  Legalization would free up space and court resources for real criminals, saving the taxpayers money and getting more dangerous folks off the street.  It's a crime that this drug is treated like a dangerous, physically addictive drug, and it shouldn't be a crime to do it.


She went to a private school. No one there knew she was a girl except the guy she was dating. She was the captain of the Row team.

The only show I can think of with those characteristics is Young Americans from the WB network. The girl's name was Jaqueline and she pretended to be Jake.


I just do this for fun, to see what people ask, but I have seen people asking serious questions, probably kids looking for quick answers.  Does anyone agree here?

yup, people tend to do that... I just hope people use their good judgement to distinguish the right ones from those that are unintentionally destructive answers.\n\nserious questions are asked in the hope that experts on that field are online to shed some light.  But we can never be too sure.


i'm a girl that enjoys alot getting her man to cumm it is one of the big things for me, is this odd an is there anyone elsh like this

It's not as common as perhaps it should be, but it's very normal and you are to be commended.  One of the greatest pleasures in life is providing pleasure to somebody else for whom you care about deeply.  Be very careful, however, that it doesn't turn into a control issue.  Never use the giving or withholding of pleasure strictly to get your own way.  When it gets to that level, it has become extremely unhealthy.  If you're not there yet, then fine.  Enjoy yourself, and enjoy the fact that he enjoys it.


could u please help us by putting always, never, sometimes, or maybe thanks a bunch

Sometimes, I think I eat right. I have healthy foods and "junk foods" on my list. LOL.


I need to know the process a player has to go through to declare themself eligible for the NBA Draft.

First and foremost you need to be good enough for someone to notice you.  If you want to leave school early to become eligible, you have to have people asking if you're going to leave early -- if they arent asking, then dont bother announcing it.


I am a new investor and would like to pull my own fair market property values I know realtors have a source for doing this and I would like to find out how they do it? Is it a web site they pay for the listings of properties that have sold in the last year? OR does the local community services provide this? Do you have to have a realtors license to do this?

You are in Luck!!!\n\njust a few short weeks ago the best website for doing just this came out from the guy that made expedia.com.\n\nhttp://www.zillow.com\n\nzillow.com is a great little website that will let you do this yourself. You will get the idea of when it may be innacurate (updates not included but hey thats easy to tell), and the comps on there are priceless for doing the homework yourself.


Fear of rejection because everybody has their own dream of how a person should act and how they should behave.I shouldn't worry about the disapproval of others and just be free to say what want without any fear of someone disapproving of me.I get very shy around certain people because I fear that they wouldn't like my sense of humor or interest.I would be more free if I could just stop basing my sense of self on the opinions of others.


HELP!!! i have been friends with this guy for 4 yrs. He's a great friend and doesn't flirt with me but i know that he is utterly in love with me. He is also very needy (as he has no other real friends) to the point where i feel he is always infiltrating my life. He know my boyfriend well and we all hang out, when we're conversing and he'll stare directly at me, he goes out of his way to see me, sends me flowers, he even has my name as a computer password. sometimes it's creepy. i have no romantic interest in him what so ever - how do i tell him to get his emotions in check because it's ruining our friendship? (In a nice way)

I would think very much because you never know what might happen. It might go all wrong and you might not be friends again or it could go very well. Take your time to think. Just tell him that you just don't want to go out with him and that you don't love him but you like him as a great friend.


Marines or the Navy, if you say the Marines, I'd like to see one of them stay on a ship for 6 months, I was in the Navy, it is not fun!!!!!!!

1. Todays operations are primarily Joint, which means one service alone can not win a war... we all work together to defend our country. So we are all "bada" in our special and unque ways and should be proud of our service heritages.\n\n2. With regards to this question...in my humble opinion I think the Marines are a little more "bada" in the conext of the question. Why? \n\n  a. The Marines do 12-18 months tours vs usual 6-month \n     tours for Navy...thougb I admit the Navy at times does \n     longer.\n\n  b. Being on ship is not fun? Even with hot chow, internet \n     service, phones (carriers), cable TV, and an \n     environment protected from severe weather. Sure, I \n     know...it gets hot on a ship...but try being \n     in heavy canvass tents with no air conditioning for a \n     whole year and camel spiders and scorpions your night-\n     time bunk buddies or getting totally drenched in rain\n     or freezing your tail off in sub-zero weather with no \n     heater available.\n\n   c. I have seen a lot of Marines kicking in \n      terrorists/insurgents doors in Iraq and Afghanistan,\n      getting shot at, etc. As far as the Navy? Well,\n      there's the SEALs... right? I have seen a few Navy \n      seabees doing patrols...rare.\n\nThe bottom line is Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Soldiers have all shed their blood for the principles we stand for... WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS...GUARDIANS OF THIS GREAT NATION...WE ARE ALL B-A-D-A IN WHAT WE DO. Though we all have our favorites... mine being the Army.

The 3 children are a boy 10 yrs old and 2 girls that are 8 and 6

Be patient with yourself, join a support group at your church or talk to a family counsellor (with or without your spouse). Be patient with your kids, spend as much quality time with them knowing that they are caught in the middle of an adult issues and are too young to understand the complexity of these issues.  Just go out and have as much fun with them as possible at the park, mall or the children's museum.  Do not neglect your health (ie: overeating-->obese or undereating).  If you're not into the gym go for light walks, and by all means use meditation tapes they really do help.  Give your spouse that space she needs  but keep the channel of communications open.  Be honest with each other and don't try to sweep your marriage issues under the rug or they will never be resolved.  Good Luck.

there will be no range of distance that have higher data rate then 150 mbps, cause the fastest device that can take up that 14gb is the harddrive, and even fast drive like sata drive can only write at 6mb/sec, not to mention the limitations on No. of files making up that 14gb, bus, ram etc.

humans are superior to other form of life\nthe value of other species depends only on whether they are useful to use\nall species have an inherture extinction of a species

here goes:\nHumans only think they are superior because they think. Humans are no more or less than the other species, but since we have developed technology, we have the responsibility to all of nature to control ourselves so that we end up contributing some Net Creativity as a species to the soup of the universe in order to counteract the decay of things.\nThe value of other species is in diversity of DNA. We should do whatever we can within reason to preserve and maintain as much diversity in the living DNA as we can because every variation is a resource which may be needed by nature to support other life, including us.\nAll species have an inherent Net Creativity. Somewhere, they contribute some kind of structure to Life or Nature that makes them valuable to the universe. If they didn't create more in structure than they use up in resources, they would have become extinct. Humans are messing up the system temporarily because we have the technology to destroy more resources than we use, prolong our lives when we would normally die from disease or injury, and collectively, we have the ability to use resources which otherwise wouldn't be available to us to exploit. (Oil, coal, and gas are basically ancient sunshine stored in the ground, and we are running our world on more energy than the sun provides to us. This will only end badly unless we limit our consumption voluntarily. It is called "unsustainable")

I am interested in applying to Loyola Marymount for grad school?  Do any of you have opinions on the school's culture, reputation, academics, extracirriculars, etc. ?  \n\nThanks!

If you are referring to Loyola Marymount law school, that is the school I attend right now, and it is my first year there. Loyola law is a great school with great academics. You will learn a lot. In terms of extracurriculars, it depends how involved you want to get. The reputation is very good in LA, however Im not sure about how far it reaches beyond LA. The school's culture is great, the people are not stuck up, and most everybody is willing to help everybody else out. Hopefully this helps.


I am trying to find out what kind of company and employer would be interested in hiring me. and their offeing salary.\nIf I put my resume on-line like 'Monster.com' would my current employer find out i am doing a job search?

Interested employers will send you an email and then you can choose to reply.  So if your current employer send you an email, don't reply and they'll never find out!!!

I'm currently dating someone who is deaf and wanted to know the odds of having a deaf child.  Both of his parents can hear.

This is impossible to know without knowing what caused his deafness.  Is it a genetic condition?  (There are non-genetic reasons for hearing loss--if this is the case than your chances of having a deaf child are zilch.)\n\nEven if his hearing loss is due to genetic factors, knowing, specifically, what genetic "deformity" he has will determine the odds that it could be passed on to your children.\n\nSome genetic conditions are very rare, some are more common.  Some can be passed only to male children, some only to female.  Some require both parents to have the genetic condition to pass it on, some only one parent.\n\nIn other words, you can't answer this question without knowing the specific cause of his deafness.\n\nEven then, you'll probably need to consult a genetic counselor to get the full scoop.


Im about to move out of my parents house and into an apartment of a friend . This will be the first time I've moved out since the dorms. Ive heard some horror stories from the dorms... I want to keep my things from getting stolen while still shareing, and Im not sure how the food situation works. Any other tips are very very much appericated! If this helps understanding any: we are both attending the same University, 3 year difference in age, and I will be moving into an apt that she has had two different roommates with [one got married and the other finished their degree.].  Thank you ! =D

Most things depend on the people...I've had more than my share of bad roomie experiences! First thing when you move in be sure to put a bolt lock on your bedroom door, this is especially advisable because of parties that are sure to happen. I recommend that you pay all bills with checks, and keep an "excel file" of all of the bills. As for foods, you'll all have to work that out together--don't be afraid to keep some dry goods in your room--at least 1 roll of tp, too. Most importantly, figure out how you 2 can talk aobut household situations rationally. Good luck!


I've posted this question before but want todo it again to see if I get different answers

A Specialist HIV doctor confirms of above question that its possible when the sperm of the HIV Male is freezed and then the Female Sperms is mixed in a test tube and later when the embryo is develped its replanted into the woman, what are the recuperssion and for how long is the male sperm to be frezzed and to wt level to kill the virus

You have asked several questions. An egg that is fertilized with sperm from an HIV+ father will probably have the disease because of the manner in which fertilzation in vitro is performed. Then the embryo (more likely, several) embryos are implanted into a woman. These embryos are implanted into the woman without separating them from seminal fluid including the HIV virus. I rather suspect, the woman has just been exposed to HIV and will become positive herself. It is barely possible the child will not develop the disease but what gain is that if the wife falls ill. \n\nThe next question deals with killing the HIV virus by freezing the semen and/or the embryo. That won't happen. Viruses are almost non-living molecules. They commandeer the DNA of cells and get cells to support them. Treatment by cooling, will not kill a virus. We used to "store" viruses by freezing them in liquid nitrogen. The sperm cell will die well before a virus can be killed. Cells are far more fragile than viruses.\n\nThe next issue is that females do not have sperms. They have eggs which require fertilization either inside or outside of their bodies and the embryo requires a womb for implantation so it can grow and become a developed organism.\n\nThe risks of such a procedure are clear to me. They are about the same as having unprotected sex with the woman. If both of you are agreeable to this, so be it. This is not my call but I did wish to explain a couple of things.

my doctor found out i have varicocele.  must it be removed through surgery.  what the risks involved

Treatment\n\nIf the patient is asymptomatic or the symptoms are mild and infertility is not an issue, the condition can be managed by wearing an athletic supporter or snug-fitting underwear to provide the scrotum with support.\n\nSurgery\nIf the varicocele causes pain or atrophy, if it damages the testicle(s), or if the condition is causing infertility, surgery may be recommended. Most varicoceles can be corrected through a surgical procedure called varicocelectomy (i.e., surgically "tying off" the affected spermatic veins). The following methods are used.\n\nSurgical ligation usually requires general or reginal anesthesia. In this procedure, a 2- to 3-inch incision is made in the groin or lower abdomen, the affected veins are located visually, and the surgeon cuts the veins and ties them off above the varicocele to reroute the blood through unaffected veins. A incision in the groin (transinguinal) is commonly used and a lower abdomen (retroperitoneal) incision is used in patients with scar tissue from a prior varicocelectomy or hernia repair. Surgery can be performed on an in- or outpatient basis. The patient typically can resume light activity within a week and strenuous activity in about 6 weeks.\n\nEmbolization is a nonsurgical procedure that takes about an hour and a half. A small tube (catheter) is inserted into a small incision in the groin to block the flow of blood to the varicocele. Venography is used to highlight the varicocele on x-ray and to visually guide the catheter. The catheter is then used to push tiny coils into place to block the blood flow to the dilated vein. This eases the pressure, reduces enlargement, and restores normal circulation. Light sedation, sometimes called "twilight anesthesia," is used during the procedure; the patient does not lose consciousness. Stitches are not needed. Normal activity is usually resumed within 2 days.\n\nLaparoscopy is a technique in which the surgeon inserts a tiny camera attached to a long cylindrical tube into the abdominal cavity through a small incision. Using the camera to locate the varicocele, the surgeon then inserts other instruments through the same incision to isolate and tie off the dilated veins. This technique requires a smaller incision than surgical ligation and is sometimes regarded as less invasive. The laparoscope, however, can sometimes damage abdominal organs, which is not a risk factor in open surgery. The procedure takes about 2 hours and recovery about 2 days. \n\nNaturopathic Treatment\n\nA low fiber, highly refined diet—one that relies heavily on white flour products, sugar, and processed foods rather than fresh vegetables, whole grains, and fruits—is thought to be a contributing factor to varicocele formation. A lack of dietary fiber may slow down the bowels and contribute to constipation by hardening and drying the stool. Constipation stresses the pelvic floor by putting pressure on the veins when the bowels move. This repeated pressure strains the vessel walls and may damage vessel tissue.\n\nAnother contributing factor to varicocele formation is the lack of flavinoid-rich foods. Flavinoids, which are found in abundance in fresh vegetables and fruits, have been shown to contribute to the structural integrity of blood vessels.\n\nDiet Recommendations\n\n    * Include: Eat a "whole foods" diet that focuses on fresh vegetables and fruits (lots of richly pigmented berries to strengthen vessel walls); whole grains; fish and poultry; flax seed oil or other EFAs (essential fatty acids) found in fish oil, olive oil and nuts; and drink plenty of fresh water. Choose organically raised foods when possible.\n    * Avoid: Processed foods, fast foods, junk foods, animal fats, hydrogenated oils and margarine, sugar and white flour products, alcohol and caffeine.\n    * Extra fiber: Add 1 tablespoon psyllium seed husk fiber and/or 6 to 8 tablespoons flax seed meal and/or a cup oat bran daily to diet.

Having ponered this question, many a scientist can't actually answer this question, they may give stupidly long explanations, but I don't want the jargon. What is energy? Kudos to anyone who can come up with a viable answer the makes philosophical and scientific sense.

No one knows exactly.  It's interchangeable with matter, but no one knows exactly what matter is either.  We can describe properties of matter and energy with reference to each other, but we can't really objectively understand what they are.


3 months married, I m an average healthy male(even sexually too). Problem is that I cant properly insert my P into the vagina of my wife, only the Shaft of my penis can go inside, and then i cant put more inside, because i feel no good and my penis becomes to bent even. i did every thing(slowly, with  love and gentle) to insert properly/completely, but my wifes vagine, i think is too narow(or whhat I dont know).\nI have discused the matter with a doc, she told me that, yes it is possible that a girl have too narow vagina, but after some times(after 8-10 months) it will get better\nI want u people to share ur knowledge and advice.

Well, my best advice at this is... to let you know that your wife is 'not ready' to have sex yet.  I believe you are trying real hard and all that, but mentally she's not ready and is scared of the pain.\n\nWhen a woman gets 'aroused' her vagina gets lubricated and elongates, and what it sounds like for you two right now, is that her cervix is in the way and she's all nervous and not relaxed enough to 'enjoy it'.  \n\nThis should pass in time, but I'm sure you each could benefit from some reading :)   Here's a great site!


Our universe is certainly not very dense, being made up mostly of space. But there is quite a bit of mass in it. Thus it would appear consistent that our universe being quite massive but not dense could indeed be a black hole.

The defining factor of a black hole is that the escape velocity is higher than the speed of light.  This is a function of density and not total mass.  It's possible to have very small black holes.  They can even have masses smaller than that of an atom.  The LHC at CERN, which is expected to come online in 2007, may be capable of producing such microsingularities.  \n\nAs for our universe being a black hole...  from inside it's certainly not.  But, from "outside", if you can define such a thing, maybe it does appear as such, since light cannot escape out universe.  This assumes, however, that there is an outside from which this can be considered, and there's no proof, and perhaps no way to prove, whether or not there is.


My ex-fiance went to visit her family in Michigan for 2 weeks and I thought nothing of it. I like her family except for her sister, who happens to be a real monster. She's single, negative, and never happy for anyone. Well anyway, while my ex was in MI she'd call me every night because she missed me. One night she called and said she was at her sister's helping with her new baby. Long story short, she was really with her other sister (the evil one) on her date with her date's male friend. They went drinking and dancing etc, on my girlfriend's birthday. As soon I found out I called everything off and broke up with her. This was about a month ago and I know I'm not taking her back, but now everyone's calling me and telling me I'm overreacting. I don't think I am, but I want to know what you think. By the way, my ex wasn't going to tell me.. My brother's wife told me.

If she wasn't going to tell you and couldn't even be honest with you when she was going out on that date, I'd say you did the right thing.  You can't build a life together if there are secrets and lies.  And to me, omission is as good as a lie.

After reading all the answers before mine, I am amazed at the people who answer this question without any knowledge of the Bible at all.  How can you answer without ever reading, let alone studying, the Bible?  It's downright dangerous and reveals ones ignorance.  This text is clearly Nostradamus.  It is not in the Bible, and the book of Revelation (the last book in the Bible) is a symbolic book of eschatology (end times). It was written by the Apostle John while exiled on the the Island of Patamos, NOT John the Baptist!\n\nAccording to Nostradamus the Eagle represents the United States and the Bear is Russia.  The quatrains have proved unreliable since most all of the interpretations and predicted dates have gone by as false and unfulfilled.

(burning bush, immaculate conception, etc.) Im not saying God couldn't do it, but why say that God couldn't let other things happen?

Sometimes i do not like talking to him and he gets boring at times and i want that to change

I've had the same problem of being shy for the longest time. I have the problem being shy too only not with my boyfriend, but with a guy I like. So I talked to him about it and you know what he said? "Shyness never got anyone anywhere." \n\nMy advice to you is the same advice I took and that advice I gave myself believe it or not. Do more things with him, chances are that you may not know as much about him as you might think. \nTherefore you're nervous because you really like him and you want him to like you back. You might be shy because you're afraid he doesn't really like you or will find something about you he doesn't like, then dump you. This was my fear for the longest time.\n\nIf he's really your boyfriend, you shouldn't be worried or shy. With me I went out with this guy I liked and did things with him as a friend, talked to him on the phone; he liked that. I got to know him better and now I'm not nearly as shy around him as I use to be. \n\nWe're closer as a result and it opened up the lines of communication. I trust him more, we talk about all sorts of things, and I feel like I could talk to him about almost anything! \n\nIf it's really just a shyness thing then that's my advice. However it sounds like you've grown apart from him. In which case there is no faking how you really feel. You need to think about moving on. Don't waste your or his time going out with a guy you don't really like. \n\nBreak up with him and move on.\n\nGood luck.


can we send them later? or can we take them with us to the enterview?

If you look carefully at the forms you're filing they should say if you need to or not.  I suggest sending anything they ask you for cause if you don't it will slow down your application.  Also don't send anything they don't want cause you'll never see it again.


Yes, I'm too financially challenged at the moment to be able to afford a lawyer; otherwise, I'd show these people about ethics and consideration toward the ones who not only pay the rent impeccably on time, but also whose salaries we are paying!

In November of 2005 the tenant who lives next to me in a duplex in Lilbourn, Mo. damaged my front door while trying to keep me in my apartment while he beat his girlfriend.  I showed the door to two officers I had called to the scene.  They saw and still remember the damage.  I notified my landlord, he said he would send someone the next morning.  It has never even been evaluated.  I have overlooked many things.  I am not financially able to pay to repair the damage.  The damage has become worse and now I can no longer shut the door.  It is now taking the door, frame, doorway and walls around it off the building. I make only enough money to pay my bills and feed and clothe my family.  Do I have the right to not pay my rent for 30 days so I can take the money and get an apartment that is available and is more suitable.  What are my rights?

No, you still have to pay your rent,but here is a few things you can do:\n\nIf the landlord does not make the repair the tenant can do any of the following:\n\nTake the rent when it is due to the local clerk of courts. A tenant must be current in their rent with the clerk of courts (called rent deposit). The tenant does not need an attorney for rent depositing. \nApply to the court to order the landlord to make the repairs. The court can also lower the rent until the repairs are made or give the tenant some of the rent money so the tenant can have the repairs made. \nEnd the lease. \nCancel the rental agreement and move. This can be done only after the tenant has given appropriate notice, and the landlord has failed to correct the condition.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor issued an employment report last week indicating U.S. employers added 243,000 jobs in February and average hourly pay posted the largest annual increase in 4-1/2 years. The monthly report showed the unemployment rate at 4.7 %. \nIs this good news for the economy? Describe how fiscal policy(taxes and government spending) has played a role in stimulating the economy over the last 3 years.

Fiscal policy= \n1. increase/decrease in taxes both for consumers and businesses. Were there new incentives for business that the government offered?\n\n2. Government spending- subsidies, infrastructure spending, etc.. that will help businesses grow- and therefore increase jobs. War also creates jobs.\n\n3. Interst rates (although monetary, not fiscal)- they were so low (which is expansionary) and corporations could borrow more at a low interst rate- that creates incentives to invest and build, and therefore create jobs.\n\nOne thing to check is the 243,000 jobs- check whether that's non farm only- you want to make sure it's the services and manufacturing sectors.\n\nThe conservative administration is focused on helping industry (business) and they have created many incentives to boost growth. \nCheck the bureau of labor statistics

I would like serious answers on this one no pranky stuff please..

A girl looks for a guy who is confident, fun, and NOT BORING. A guy who somewhat adventurous but also smart...I'm not talking about bookish smart. Just savvy. If anything humor is a BIG issue. The best way to get to know girls is to try to talk to them, learn what interest them. This doesn't mean assimilate their interests. Just be able to talk about them, so that you have something to talk about. Get to the point where you can walk up to them and speak to them like they are one of your friends.  \n\n Learn to flirt. Take chances, be outrageous. But, not goofy or stupid acting. Above all pay attention to their responses but don't let their responses get to you. If they act offended too bad, if they look down their nose at you,or walk away don't care...be indifferent. There are 3 billion females on this planet. There will be a prettier smarter more interesting one around the corner or even right next to her.\n With practice, you will know what to look for when you meet different women. Be friendly, Not like a friend. Kiss of death. Confidence, humor and being fun is the KEY.


I still enjoy watching NHL games but it seems to me that the game has been watered down. You know I am a huge Red Wings fan and I reall started watching b ack in the heyday of the Colorado/Detroit rivalry. The passion and all out support of ones teamates seems to be a thing of the past. I will not lie I miss fighting. All season long I have not seen more than two fights. Dammit it is part of the game. If the fans enjoy it and the players still have the willingness and the ability to do it then why does it seem like the NHL leadership has completely tried to eradicate it?

The NHL is thriving and has never been better! Attendance is up! TV ratings are up! Everything is up!\n\nYou sound like a dinosaur fan lamenting the "glory days" when no-talent thugs ruled the game and bench-clearing brawls were a nightly occurrence. I found that to be abject and embarrassing! All it did was made the NHL look like some bush league where professional wrestling fans and other such losers could go to swill bear, scream obscenities and pick fights in the stands. No thanks!\n\n*Update: I'm glad we had our little offsite IM exchange, bugman, as I think we understand each other better now. We might not be on the same page, but we both love the game. And I promise you it is only going to get better! Go Sabres!

As I will be visiting Greenwich Village which is where Greenwich Mean Time starts I got to thinking about who started it.  I believe it was a Canadian and Sir Ian Fleming came to mind.  Hope I'm correct.

Sir Sanford FLEMING (1827-1915) \n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nEngineer and Inventor.\n\nBorn in Scotland, this civil engineer came to British North America in 1845, and built a career that made him nineteenth-century Canada's most notable railway surveyor and construction engineer.\n\nHe undertook the chief engineering role for some of Canada's earliest railway lines, including the Intercolonial Railway, which ran east from Québec City to St John NB and Halifax NS. His vision for an all-Canadian railway made him the obvious person to appoint as engineer of the project to build a railway from Montréal to the Pacific Ocean, a distance of more than 4,700 km.\n\nFleming directed much of the surveying of the Canadian West, both the Prairies and the Rocky Mountains. Fleming resigned from the project once it was turned over by the Canadian government to a private company in 1880 (the railway across Canada was completed on 7 November 1885).\n\nAfterwards, he spent time on the inventions that made him famous outside Canada. These were his proposals for a worldwide system of keeping time, and the laying of a telecommunications cable across Canada and then around the world.\n\nIn the case of the first, Fleming was the first to advocate a standard, or mean, time, so that, anywhere in the world, time could be calculated as a variation of that mean time. This led to the standardization of the international time zones that we have today around much of the world, the People's Republic of China marking one of the few exceptions. A conference in 1884 in the city of Washington, USA, which Fleming did much to organize, adopted these proposals.\n\nIn the case of the second, Fleming's advocacy resulted in the successful laying of the Pacific Cable from Canada to Australia in 1902. In his early years, Fleming was also the designer of Canada's first postage stamp, the threepenny beaver, which appeared in 1851.


I have a boyfriend thats really nice but he really is crude and an emmbaresment around me.  Hes liked me for years and im finnally giveing him a chance.  Though on the contrary... I LOVE my other friend. He loves me too. And we get along loads better. Even though he can PMS pretty bad.  Should I dump my boyfriend who loves me so much for my friend?

i think you should tell your bf the whole story..choose the friend..coz if you don't like your bf as much as you're supposed to then i'm not suRe he's happy at all either..\n\n^_^


I think my exemployer ignored the unemployment office request for my job history because the last job listed with unemployment was the job I quit to accept the job offer from the employer who just fired me. Can they legally do that? To the unemployment agency it appeared that I quit my last job for no reason and had not gotten another job.

#1. how long did you work for this new job? if it was under three months, unemployment probably hasn't gotten your info yet. employers are only obligated to report quarterly. \n#2. over three months, do you have your pay stubs? were taxes deducted? did they make you fill out a W-4 form when you started working for them? - If "yes" go to the IRS and tell them the sittuation since you probably won't be getting a w2 from them at tax time either\n#3. call them and tell them that you want a record of your disciplinary actions such as write ups and repremands. If they refuse, got to the labor board and see what kind of troule you can cause for them there by finding an intake manager and telling your whole story again\n\n\ngood luck


really?  this info has some very different info than the above poster's info.\n\nA new family of ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) standards called "ADSL2" adds features and functionality that boost ADSL's performance, improve interoperability, and support new applications, services and deployment scenarios. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nGraphic: How ADSL2 works\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nThe ADSL2 G.992.3 and G.992.4 standards, recently approved by the International Telecommunication Union, improve data rate and reach performance, dynamic rate adaptation and diagnostics, as well as include a power-saving standby mode. Another forthcoming standard, ADSL2+ (G.992.5), more than doubles the downstream data rate of ADSL to 25M bit/sec. The ITU expects to finalize the ADSL2+ standard this month. \n\nAdvertisement:\n \nADSL2 addresses the growing demand for bandwidth to support services such as video. Forthcoming ADSL2 and ADSL2+ gear will interoperate with existing ADSL equipment, allowing carriers to roll out new high-speed services while gradually upgrading their legacy infrastructure. \n\nSome of the enhancements ADSL2 and ADSL2+ offer include:\n\nBetter rate and reach: Improved modulation efficiency reduces framing overhead, achieves higher coding gain, improves the initialization state machine, and provides enhanced signal processing algorithms. ADSL2 increases downstream data rates to more than 12M bit/sec, as compared to between 8M and 10M bit/sec for original ADSL. ADSL2 extends reach by approximately 600 feet.\n\n\nDiagnostics: Real-time performance-monitoring capabilities provide information regarding line quality and noise conditions at both ends of the line. Service providers can use the data to monitor the quality of the ADSL connection and prevent service failures. Carriers also can use the data to determine if a customer qualifies for higher data-rate services.\n\n\nChannelization: ADSL2's channelization capability provides support for Channelized Voice over DSL (CVoDSL), a method to transport derived lines of TDM voice traffic transparently over DSL. CVoDSL transports voice within the physical layer, letting derived voice channels ride over DSL bandwidth while maintaining both plain old telephone service (POTS) and high-speed Internet access.\n\n\nPower enhancements: Two power management modes help reduce power consumption while maintaining ADSL's always-on functionality for users.\n\n\nBonding for higher data rates: The new standards support the ATM Forum's inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) standard developed for traditional ATM architectures. Through IMA, ADSL2 chipsets can bind two or more copper pairs in an ADSL link. The result is fiber-like data rates over existing copper lines.\n\n\nImproved interoperability: Modem initialization procedures are clarified, which improves interoperability and provides better performance when connecting ADSL transceivers from different chip suppliers.\n\n\nFast startup: A fast start-up mode reduces initialization time from about 10 seconds to less than 3 seconds.\n\n\nAll-digital mode: An optional mode allows for transmission of data in the POTS portion of the phone line. This adds 256K bit/sec to the upstream data rate, which can be an attractive option for businesses that have voice services on different phone lines and value the additional upstream bandwidth.\n\n\nPacket-based services: Packet-based services such as Ethernet can be transported over ADSL2.\n\n\nADSL2+: The ADSL2+ standard doubles the maximum frequency used for downstream data transmission from 1.1 MHz to 2.2 MHz. This effectively provides downstream data rates of 25M bit/sec on phone lines as long as 5,000 feet.\n\n\nunfortunately the + symbols did not all copy.  go to the link.


I think I am in love with the second guy.  He is so cute and adorable, and has all the qualities I want in a guy.  He has liked me for the past 2 months, but I have made him hold off because of my live-in boyfriend.  I don't even like the guy that I live with now, because he has serious mental and jealousy issues.  I just lived with him because I needed a roommate.  I broke up with him for a day, and told the second guy, but then got back together with him, and didn't tell him that.  Help!!  I guess I am going out with both of them, and afaird I'm going to lose them both, if they find out.  How do I break up with my live-in boyfriend without causing myself undue financial stress?  How do I tell the new guy that it wasn't completely over with the first guy and I was still sleeping with guy no. 1 when he kissed me?

some things are better left unsaid so just break it off with you'll live in boyfriend and tell him that it's not working out anymore and tell the next guy you made a big mistake but now you know that you only want to be with him and him only


They prance around like they are the rulers of all the "losers"...but even thier own "friends" think they are idiots. How could someone be so dence and self absorbed? Or is it that they just dont want to believe they are unliked? What do you think?

I think that if people stopped watching all these idiotic SOAPS and "REALITY(???)" SHOWS where the object is to LIE and STAB EVERYONE IN THE BACK - that the world might actually be a FAR BETTER PLACE...


I just heard of them a few monthes ago. I love them.

yes my neighbor let me listen to them... they are not bad at all...


we lived together for about six months before she told me this.  she now wants no communication at all and told me to move on and date others....but when I di, she saw me and got very angry with me....I truly love her and would go back to her in a heartbeat....but how can I get her past the death of her husband and help her to love again.  They were married for 14 years and he died suddenly.  He has been gone for over two years now.  She also lived with another man before me for approximately 6 months before she told him it was over.  Her family and friends all liked me and we never had any arguements or conflicts....other than a business venture I tried and it failed....but I picked myself up and got on with the job I had before the business venture.  She says that she just needs space to find herself and not have to "ANSWER" or be "RESPONSIBLE" to anyone.  How should I go about getting her past her past and start living again?

well if she doesn't want you to move on she still loves you. but i think that you should give her space until she ready to either A( be with you or B(not be with you. but give her space and see what happens.


DEMs & REPs used to be alright. The political system we have now was designed for a different time and a different people. How can it be "modernized" w/out total confusion?

There is the Libertarian party. Their ideas still fall short, but I like their potential, which is better than the Reps or Dems. Also they would more likely pass the FairTax act (HR25).


I have been reading through these Q.& A. and can't for the life of me figure out why people ask about dumb stuff or common sense stuff. What is the point of proving ignorance?\nA lot of these are great Q. but some are out there. I mean \ncome on. Any one else feel like this? I love this site and reading through it but when is serious enough? I don't mean to b rude, but some of this is to much. I know this will anger alot of u, but come on. Use common sense.

I understand what you are saying but we have to realize what appears dumb to one person may not to another. People are at different ages, different places, different educational levels in their lives so we must respect all questions and if we think they are "dumb", we just don't have to answer them. I do not like to see sarcastic or rude comments made even to the "dumbest" question. It can only be hurtful and serves no useful purpose. I just skip the ones that I don't like.


i bought a car in mar 2005 and my score was around 550 but i pulled my score last week and it was a 391, what happened?  i have paid my car note on time each month and the two credit cards i have were paid on time.  what do i need to do to raise my score in preparation for purchasing a home

Okay heres the truth:\n\nOnce you file for bankruptcy, your credit is done for a bit. Any new bills YOU MUST PAY OFF RIGHT AWAY, no collections... make sure NOTHING IS LATE EVER!!! You will need to wait a while before you can begin to get and rebuild credit. It has been about a year now so we can start (the Bankruptcy will be reported to your CR (credit Report) for 7 years)\n\nGet affordable things: NO CREDIT CARDS!!!! not yet\nmy sugesstion is get a cell phone for a years contract- DO NOT BE LATE EVER (EVEN BY A DAY) on your bill and py the full due amt always. This will be reported on your c/r that you have a revolving account (an account that is reoccuring every month) that you pay on time always! After 6-8 months you may wnat to consider getting a sears card and buyg somthing small (around 100 dollars) and taking 3 months to pay it off- Pay over the min balance everytime- and then on the 3rd month pay it off. this will show positivly on your credit report. Stay slow and small- keep it affordable and don't be late on you movie rentals, rent, morgage, power phone, cable... PAY ON TIME always and more than the minimum balance... in 2-3 years you'll have a report that will hopefull over shadow that Bankruptcy.\nalso only check your c/r once a year everytime you check it or have somone else check it, it lowers. you can check it free once a year by going to www.annualcreditreport.com\n\n-hope that helps


I DO NOT want to open the presents at the shower and I don't really see why that would be such a big deal.  It's being thrown for me by 3 friends of the family, and I keep being told what is expected of me. My mom says that it will offend people if I don't.  Personally, I have gone to many showers, and I would be relieved not to have to sit through the honoree opening 100 different presents until she gets to mine.  Is there any way that I can get away with not doing this?  I have already put in a request for no presents to the hostesses, and the response that I got: "oh, you'll be fine."

it depends on how many people are coming! if its a small group, then they will most likely expect you to open them. if there are 30+ people, they might cut you some slack.\nI went to a bridal shower where the bride didnt open her gifts, and nobody really cared. she wrote thank you notes expressing her excitement, so it was fine.\nHave lots of games to keep people busy (or suggest that to the hosts) and by the time they are done, everyone will be ready to go home rather than watch you open presents.

Both James lomas and George Maguire were cut!! Them and Liam are the originals and best in this musical! I know James was cut cause his voice deepened. Is that why George was cut too????????

George Maguire was probably cut because of the same reason James Lomas was. \n:)

I moved to America 2 1/2 years ago and had my children living with me then, however following a child abduction hearing in america which I won, my children went back to england for a vacation and never returned. If they came here for a vacation or to live could I apply for their custody in an american court, or would i have to do that in an english court. Right now neither I or my ex-wife have legal custody of them. She filed for it in england but the judge refused to give it since i wasn't represented in the court.

Your in trouble my friend. I would move to England and make the most of it. Possession is 90% of the law. It's to bad that your in this situation. Good luck to you.

i got your message.  i do not know who these people are.\ni do not condone anyone being mistreated and try to handle those injustices in my community.  where can i learn about this?


Ok, i am installing my first network. All has gone well. The two computers are connected, but it says "you are connected the to access point, but the internet cannot be found." if it helps to say that i am networking a PC and MAC, but only the internet connection. please help, i've gone through enough trouble to get this far.

Things to check for:\n1. Is the wireless access point connected to your router (unless the access point and the router are in the same unit)?\n2. Do both computers have valid IP addresses (and valid network masks and gateway addresses)?  These must either be set by hand, or else you set the computers for DHCP (but that only works if either the router or your ISP is providing the DHCP service -- to make the router offer DHCP service you would have to turn on "NAT" in the router).\n3. Can each computer ping the other?


I am not sure how to set up this matrix. please help!\n\nThe tickets to a concert on campus cost $1.00 for students, $1.50 for faculty, and $2.00 for others. Total attendance was 460 and the total receipts were $570. There were 140 more students than faculty and others combined. \n\nThen it asks how many students faculty and others attended.\n\ni dont need the answer, i need to know how to set up the matrix. i think the first equation is:\n\n1s + 1.5f + 2o = 570\n\n...and so\n[1  1.5  2  570\n ?  ?    ?  ?  ]\n\nHELP!


THis wave behavior is called what?\n- Contructive interference\n- diffraction\n- refraction\n- reflection\nCAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS?

This wave behaviour is called reflection.\n\n- Constructive interference is when 2+ waves interact and create a wave that is stronger than any of the original interacting waves.\n\n- Diffraction is the tendency for waves to bend around corners.\n\n- Refraction is the bending of waves through a medium (say, water)\n\n- Reflection is the return of a wave in the original direction after bouncing off something (say, light bouncing off a mirror)


I have a novel kicking around in my head. Very fresh idea but, need an experienced writer to make it come to life.

If it is a really great idea you ned to be careful that someone doesn't rip you off. If you do decide to go with a writer you should check out copyright safeguards first. \n\nOr maybe you should look into doing a creative writing course and trying to make your idea into a short story or even a full novel ... then you can pitch it to a movie maker and make mucho $$$

i need to know how long the entire process of interphase and mitosis takes on average for a project on the amount of time it would take to reach a specific number of cells using an exponential growth formula

Unfortunately there isnt any average cell-as said before, there is variation from minutes, in the case of some immune and germ cells, to never in the case of most neurons.  But, to give you a way to answer your homework, you can say a hypothetical cell takes 24 hours to divide-there are quite a few cell types that take about this long, so you would be safe choosing this time.


it will read all dvd-rs but it those not read any cd-rs it read cd-rs before like two weeks ago but now i am tring to burn a file or music on cd-r and it will not read the cd-r please help any good solutions

I have found this super annoying problem with burning CDs like that. I will burn some files on one computer, take it over to my laptop and it looks blank!! I use ISO Buster to look at the CD and the stuff is there. Well it seems it had to to with Nero and burning multisession disks or something and Windows wasn't reading them correctly. Are you using a different program to burn? If you use Windows media player to burn a CD, it should definitly read..if not try a different brand of disk. If not then...well newegg.com has some nice 16X Dual Layer DVD-RWs for under $40...

im having way to many anxiety attacks by just trying to quit smoking is this normal with wellbutrin xl?

I was on the 150mg dose for 7 days before my Doctor increased my dose to 300. The anxiety could be a side effect of the wellbutrin. If the anxiety is being caused by the wellbutrin uping your dose won't help. Check with your Doctor or a pharmacist(if your self medicating).


am i crazy?  iu feel like there is something weird here.  like everything i've said on here in chat rooms is somehow being used in someones joke.  scaring me.   using my words in a rude way.

Have been playing on/off now for about 10 yrs, more off than on though, I have a good set of irons, woods and a Very good putter. I just can't seem to get my score out of the 100's. Never have computed my handicap so don't ask what it is, am considering taking lessons to see what I am doing wrong. ANY pointers out there?

The lessons are a good idea.  Why not just sign up for three lessons to get your swing straight.  Then plan on hitting a bucket at the range and practice chipping once per week to stay in the groove.  If your swing gets out of whack, take a tune-up lesson from time to time.  If you do these things, you should be able to shoot in the 80s consistently and maybe better depending on your natural talent.\nIf you never get out of the hundreds?  Who cares!  Play because you enjoy spending time on the course with some friends.

What is the best product to use on chaped lips?Chap Sticks don't work with me? Please help...

I use Mary Kay stuff, it's expensive, but it works.  I heard a story once that chapsticks don't work because they aren't made too, i'm not sure if it's true, but i wouldn't doubt it because they NEVER work for me.  I also use this stuff from Bath and Body Works.


Everytime i sign on, i send people messages with the link for the virus. can anyone help me??

First of all to avoid an infection, use a firewall. To remove the virus, try scanning your hard drive for it using an anti-virus software. If you think that your antivirus is infected, download someother antivirus. Or use stinger ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ ), a standalone virus removal tool.


WHAT IS AN INTERNSHIP? \n\nAn internship is a unique aspect of education that integrates study with planned and supervised career-related work experience.  Students are involved as non-paid “authentic employees” receiving academic credit for work experiences.  The purpose of the program is to develop and strengthen the student’s educational and career preparation.  An internship will expose the student to the interpersonal relationships a job requires, both with co-workers and supervisors that are essential in obtaining a successful, satisfying career.  Internships enable employers to assist the high school in preparing students to work in today’s business environment.

I am in a dilemma whether dual cpu provide faster responce than what I can achieve by adding extra RAM in a single cpu system?

A dual core system will provide faster performance when running multiple programs when compared with a single core system, because the extra core provides additional processing resources that simply don't exist in single core systems.  This allows you to, for example, run a virus scan, while still doing photo editing work at full speed.

It seems that while the Bush Administration spend enormous amounts of energy and monetary resources invading and "repairing" other countries, this country is falling apart by the seams. But yet, many foreigners somehow believe that the U.S. is the closest thing to heaven. Maybe we should let  "amateurs" run the country. What is the worse that can happen? Remember, it was a professionals that built the Titanic, but it was an amateur who built Noah's Ark. Or maybe we should ask the poor and unfortunate people do they feel that this is the best country in the world.

We may have a lot to complain about but at least we have civil rights. Many people, like my husband, flee a country with a  political regime that makes daily life for its citizenry downright miserable. What we complain about in the USA is frivolous and petty in comparison with the real troubles facing citizens of many of the countries in the world today.


My boyfriend & I have been together for a long while now and I get to the point where I want my relationship to get strong by having him open his heart to me, but he is afraid after his father death he always, tries to hold it back and make it seem like he is the strong one and I know that there are times when he is hurt but can't tell me about them. I love him to the point where I want to know everything that is bothering him and if he doesn't tell me than that problems end up effecting me and I can't sleep. How can I can I be patient about this. Sometimes I just want to give up, but I still hold on and not just that, everytime he holds himself back then I hold myself back from him too. Someone tell me what can I do to be patient??

I believe in "open" relationships, not the open kind where you date others. Ask him what reason he has for not opening up to you and if there's something you can do to change that. Being honest is the way to go. You can't spend the rest of your life with someone who keeps things from you. You want to be able to share "everything" with each other. That builds a strong foundation within the relationship. \n\nYou can try to temporarily forget about this for a while. Start doing fun stuff with him instead. Go on mini vacations, take trips, spend nights together away from home, do the things he likes like taking him to a baseball game, going to the beach, etc. You know, guy stuff. That way he'll be able to relax and you two can talk casually. Maybe then he'll feel more at ease about being with you and who knows, he might even start telling you things. \n\nYou can "trick" him by asking "have you ever" questions just to get him to say something. If you know he's going through something, ask him subtle questions relating to that specific thing to give it a nudge. But at the same time, be "generalized" and not make him think you're trying to "get information" or smother him. Just be smart about it. :)\n\nGood luck to you.


I can't go through that agina. I have fibrocystic breats that are very dense. I can't take the pain of it. What can I do, just die of breast cancer?

You wanna know about painful? Try dying of an advanced breast cancer. If you think about it, you are only in compression for about 30 seconds TOTAL. There are four images taken, two on each breast. Thirty seconds of even EXTREME pain (which mammograms do not cause) once a year, to save your life? You choose. That is kind of like saying you aren't going to get your kids their immunizations because shots can hurt....\n\nSo we know mammograms are important.  I would be leary of going to a facility that uses those pads or cushions on the compression paddles.  At almost all of the conferences I have gone to, the experts don't recommend using them.  You are trading a small amount of comfort for quality of your mammogram.  Not a trade off I want to make.  Unfortunately with the physics of x-ray and the natural conical shape of the breast, there is no way around compression.  In fact, the more the compression, the better resolution on your films, meaning the smaller calcifications or mass you can find.  If you have painful breasts, schedule your mammogram for after you start your period.  Most breasts are more tender when you are premenstrual.  Experts have found a link between tender breasts and caffeine, so reduce your caffeine intake for at least 3 days before the exam and maybe even take an Ibuprofin before the exam.  When your mammographer introduces herself to you, before your exam starts, be honest with her.  Tell her that you haven't had a mammogram for 8 years because the last one was very painful.  That open communication will make the exam easier on both of you.  Also, if you are going to a different facility for this mammogram, make sure your prior mammos are available for comparison.  This can mean less extra views for you.  If the radiologist seems something suspicious on your new mammo, he/she can look at the one from 8 years ago.  If that area is unchanged in those 8 years, then we know it is not a cancer.  Cancer would have grown in 8 years.  Good luck, and you can do it!\n\nPS:  After reading your additional comments, I have the following additional comments.  It seems to me that maybe you should consider going to another facility for your mammogram.  Mammographers are not in the field of mammography to cause you pain.  We are there to help save your life.  The technologist you had (if you are accurate in describing your experience) obviously was a bad one.  As for smashing me in the mouth, I am sorry you feel that way.  I think I gave you a whole bunch of HELPFUL tips to try to make your experience less tramatic.  But I think it is very likely that you are one of these women that NOBODY can please.  You are also doing a great disserve to your fellow women.  For 99% of women, mammography is not the horrible examination in which you describe.  Have you ever considered that you may be scaring of women who have never had a mammogram?  I had a patient a couple of months who had never had a mammogram because one of her friends told her how awful the exam was, and that scared the holy crap out of her.  So, she had never had a mammo.  By the time she came in, with a palpable mass, she had metastatic breast cancer.  She has already died....whatta friend!


CONCENTRATION OF SALT WATER AND DESINTY.

Archimedes discovered the law of bouyancy. It states: on everybody emersed in water (or fluid in general) there acts an upward force with magnitude equal to the wieght of displaced water/fluid.\n\nthere are 3 scenarios for a body in water:\n\n1. floats on the surface; gravity of the body equals bouyancy and equals exactly the amount of weight of the displaced water\n\n2. the body is entirely emersed in water; again gravity = bouyancy\n\n3. the body sank; gravity = boyancy + normal reaction of the floor.\n\n\nIt helps you to swim. It it easier to swim in salty water(a sea or ocean) than in unsalty water(lake or swiming pool) because the salt water is heavier and therefoce the upward bouyancy force is large.\n\nThe mith goes that Archimedes was in the bath tab when discovered the law we name after him. He was excited, run out naked yeliing "Eurika, Eurika." So this phrase now is always linked with a discovery of some kind.\n\nHappy swimming!

Why do you believe that we should celebrate mistakes?(This is one of my favorite questions to ask.) Providing an anecdote can help to "prove" your point.

We would celebrate mistakes because we've learned from them. Mistakes show is that we're humans, and humans are not perfect. It shows us that we're alive and even though we do make these mistakes, everyone still cares for us.

Penaltys are given for any blown engines etc.\n\nFriday is Practise\nSaturday is Qualifying\nSunday is the Race\n\nIn practise the cars can do as many laps as they like, with whatever fuel or tyres they like to get used to the track etc.\n\nQualifying rules seem to change each year, basically there is a time window on the Saturday for the cars to go out and put in the fastest lap they can.  The faster the lap the higher up the grid they go, ideally getting first place(Pole Position). \n\nOn the Sunday, after the warm-up lap (to get tyres and engines up to temperature) the race starts after all the red lights have lit up and gone out (there is no flag to start the race).  Cars can pit whenever they like, for tyres, fuel etc. The race is over when the total number of laps are completed by the lead car, this when the chequered flag is waved.\n\nRed flags on the track means stop the race (major accident)\nYellow flags mean caution / slow down (minor accident)\nBlack flags mean disqualification\nBlue flags mean a car that is lapping you needs to overtake.\n\nThis is basically it, but someone else can correct or add to this.


i really wanted my legs to hurt, to feel the good pain. so last night i did 1400 squats, and stayed in a full squat for 45 mintutes. i also did 1000 pushups and stayed in a bridge for 1 hour. why dont i ache in pain? are my legs and arms just too strong? should i double the workout tonight?

Yeah if you did all of that and you still don't feel the burn then maybe you should go and do it double the amount tonight. But then again why do you want to feel pain??? \nJust b/c you are not hurting doesn't necessarily mean that you need more just gradually increase your amount of squats and pushups everynight. But don't go over board with it you don't want to hurt yourself!!!!


I can find pics of the dna helix but none that would represent a shattered one or a double one. May just not hit on the right combination to find them. Any help would be appreciated very much. Thank you to all who answer.
