i work at night and caffeine helps me out alot, but it's so fattening! what can i drink that will help me stay awake but won't add the the pounds so easily?

Caffeine is in no way fattening. What i do is drink my coffee black with no sugar etc.. It only takes about 1 to 2 weeks to get used to the taste but once you do you will never switch back.\n\nBelieve it or not many bodybuilders drink Black coffee prior to competions. Go for it just do not add suger or any dairy etc...


what turns people off?  Can it just be anything or what?

Anything which gives a feeling of disgust, hatred or past bad experience. It can be anything. ANYTHING!


I lost my 3 month old daughter toSIDS in October 2005. There is a web site that is trying to get money from people, claiming that there mattress covers can prevend SIDS. The information given in the site it false and lies and is a complete scam that is exploiting such a serious tradgety as SIDS. They are even advertising T-Shirts to help raise awareness it states, "Will your baby make it throught he night?" then in letters three times smaller it says "www.prevent-SIDS.com" If I saw someone whereing that shirt I would be so offened and probally start hyterically cring. I am in a yahoo group called SIDS-Moms and there are several of us that all feel that this web site should be investigated for fraud. I just don't know who I can contact. Any help is greatly appreciated.\nThank You, \n~Forever Haylee's Mommy~\nChristina Osborne

Web searches have pulled nothing back and my old school doesn't appear to keep a record (not surprising).

I doubt that the school would be able to tell you what exam boards they were using for each subject in 1990.  Most of the Heads of Department would have since moved on.  Moreover, the exam boards probably no longer exist, since they were reorganised in the mid-1990s!\n\nI suggest that you phone one exam board and discuss the issue with them.  I suggest you start with OCR because they are the most efficient at deadling with telephone enquiries (get their number from www.ocr.org.uk).  They would be able to tell you if anyone still holds your GCSE results.\n\nIf the data is no longer held, I think you would then be free to make up your own GCSE results!


can babies be contaminated via thier mothers?

The H5N1 virus had also been found in breast milk, infected mothers were being advised not to breast-feed. Healthy mothers of infected children were also being advised not to breast-feed. (New York Times Article)\n The virus appears to be resistant to two older generic flu drugs, amantadine and rimantadine. However, the newer flu drugs Tamiflu and Relenza are expected to work – though supplies could run out quickly if an outbreak occurs. \n Currently there is no vaccine, although scientists are working to develop one. It probably will take several months to complete and may not be ready in time to stop a widespread human outbreak, if one occurs.


Directions: Each group of four words below contains two words that are either synonyms or antonyms. Choose these two words;  then Choose if its S for Synonym or A for Antonym.\n\n1)\nStrengthen\nOust\nInclucate\nDebilitate                  \nS or A?\n\n2)\nCorrosive\nJaundiced\nCaustic\nPerfunctory                   \ns or a?\n\n3)\nMunificent\nParsimonious\nFearful\nNotorious                      \ns or a?\n\n4)\nDuplicitous\nBellicose\nForthright\nAware                    \n S or A?\n\n5)\nOuster\nAppointment\nEmissary\nTenet                           \nS or A?\n\nPlease only serious answers..thanks a lot! and whoever gives me the best answer i will give them 5 stars, so u can recieve 10pts!

Firstly, for 1), you mis-spelled one of the words. The third word should be inculcate -- to impress on somebody's mind: to fix something firmly in somebody's mind through frequent, forceful repetition.\n\n1) Strengthen & Debilitate. (A) The two words are antonyms of each other, since they mean opposite things. (Debilitate means to weaken, which is obviously the opposite of strengthen!).\n\n2) Corrosive & Caustic. (S) The two words are synonmys of each other. In chemistry, the two words mean the same thing: "able to destroy something progressively by chemical action".\n\n3) Munificent & Parsimonious. (A). The two words mean opposite things. Munificent is very generous in giving a lot of money, while parsimonious means very frugal (spends very little or none at all) or ungenerous.\n\n4) Duplicitous & Forthright. (A). The two words mean opposite things. Duplicitous means the fact of being deceptive, dishonest, or misleading, while forthright means direct in speech or manner and very honest.\n\n& finally,\n\n5) The two words that most closely form a pair of synonyms or antonyms are Ouster & Emissary. But, technically speaking, given the definitions of the 4 words, none of the words qualifies as a synonym or antonym of any of the others. Make sure you have correctly copied down the group of words for this one.\n\nI hope this helps. Good luck to you in all your endeavours. Take very good care and have yourself a most joyous day, every day.\n\n\nLove And Light\nCogano

One of the questions I was unable to provide my 4-year old daughter Gabi with an adequate answer.  Maybe you lot can help.  \n\n(If you give me the technical answer, I can translate it into 4yr old)

hi there i am glad you will explain the scientific way it is thought the earth was made. so here it goes from a biochem major to an awesome parent\nthe sky is blue because of light refraction that occurs when light from the sun penetrates through water droplets. these droplets are H2O and the bonds bend the light in such an angle that only the blue light is visible and the other 6 colors just are seen as white light. the earth's size actually made it have the proper gravitational pull on objects. thus keeps the molecules from excaping into space or from them falling to earth and liquifying or becoming low lying gases. the atmosphere actually came about when the first photosynthetic bacteria eavolved the ability to use light to "power" their energy cycle. they absorbed inorganic molecules like carbon dioxide and the by product was Oxygen. yes what we need is actually the waste of photosynthetic organisms. once the oceans became oxygen saturated the oxygen was able to make its way to the up since it was not inside of the water it became lighter and able to "float up" but not all the way out into space because of the gravity. this led to the development of the ozone layer and its protective properties. \n\nyeah i guess that science does take all the mystery and magice away from it but i think that knowing the actual way things came about brings more opportuinites to learn why these things happen. hope this helps any ?s email me at Rookiejc19@yahoo.com\n\nsorry about the bad grammer and such its pretty late and haha i should be sleeping.!!! goodluck

I am trying to have a back-up yahoo! ID but i can't! If i make all the stuff i need it says i need my parents!

Well, and assuming that you are a minor, just wait until your parents are available and asked them to create or assist you in creating a back-up email. It sounds like there is some type of parental block set up, so you may not be able to get around it at all.


Do they not realize this is the World Wide Web and there are aother countries other than theirs!?

Because we, as Americans, are generally a bunch of self-centered jerks.  I should know.  I'm one of them.  We don't tend to think in global terms.  A popular saying here for anyone who doesn't want to get involved in something is "You can't see it from MY house."  What does that tell you?

It depends.\n\nIf you´re talking aboout UEFA using only the European players, or if you´re talking about using the players registered in UEFA.  In the second case, it would then be UEFA, because that´s where all the good ones play.  If u mean only Eurpean players, than the rest of the world is by far the better one.  Because the European leagues have more an more foreign players as starters, and the native players are all relegated to bench players, or even third string.  Take the German league for example, where the only publicized player that is actually German is Ballack, the rest are Brazilian, Egyptian, Iranian, and Marrocan and all sorts of other African nationalities.  THe French league is full of Africans as well as Brazilians, look at 5 time defending champ Lyon...(Juninho Pernambucano, Fred, Chris, Caçapa) 4 Brazilians in their starting lineup, the rest are African, with 2 or 3 french players.  Chelsea, full of Africans and Argentines.  Arsenal, full of French and french African players.  Barcelona(Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Belleti, Thiago Motta, Deco, Sylvinho, Edmilson) all brazilians, Giuly, French, Eto´o Cameroonian, Gio, Dutch, Larsson, Swedish, Messi, Argentine, Maxi Lopez, Argentine, only Puyol and Victor Valdes are actually Spanish on their starting lineup.  Not to mention Real Madrid, which has an all South AMerican team, with four Brazilian nationals.  The list goes on, and also, if you coount world cups per trophies, South America has taken it home more times. Argentina and Uruguay 2 each, Brazil 5=9.  Europe, Italy and Germany 3 each, England and France, 1 each=8.\n\nWorld Club championships, South America 22, Europe 20.\n\nSo the rest of the world is better, but it depends how u look at it, to see how dominant the rest of the world is.


I know people have a tendency to be a bit off if the woman is older than the guy, so I just wanted to know how you all felt. I know for sure, I prefer a girl to be at least a good half a year older than me because I feel better that way. I have nothing wrong with those kinds of relationships.

Once all parties are old enough to be responsible and mature, I don't think age difference much matters, and nor does it matter which of the two is the elder. My mother is seven years older than my father, and I don't see anything wrong with that.


Just a theory I was thinking while answering some questions: could homosexuality could have been derived from liking someone because of their features, and then loving their character and personality to eventually changing into something much more deeper?\n\nIt's just a theory (I'm not judging), and I thought that maybe you guys might know...

i think just as the first person, that we as homosexuals are attracted to the same sex as heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite sex.\n\nhave heterosexuals chosen their lifestyle or are they born that way?  most will say that they are born that way.  as a straight man is inherently attracted to women. they probably can find another man good looking, but does not go further with any action of sex with him. Why? because he is not Sexually attracted to him.  \n\nSame as a gay man, we can find a women absolutely gorgeous but does not want to have sex with her. \n\nWe as humans can recognize beauty that can surround us (as with other people) but to be sexually turned on is something that is a biological feature within us. Any person can physically have sex with anyone we choose. for example,  a straight man can physically have sex with another man but is he gay? or a gay man can physically have sex with a women is he straight? I think that sexuality is a very deep subject that has a ton of variables that can not be simply categorized in to it is this because of that.\n\nhistory has shown that homosexuality has been around for as long as sex has been around.  knowing this i have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is a biologic thing.

I lose distance when driving a golf ball from the tee can you give me advice to gain more distance please.

Pro golfers generate clubhead speed through technique which combines body rotation, armswing and wrist snap or rotation, and they've worked to put the three together to create the incredible clubhead speeds they generate.\n\nOf course, it's impossible to give a real answer to your question, since I've not played with you and haven't seen you swing, but from the tone of your question, I would look at two things to start -\n\nFirst, when you're driving from a tee, the ball should be a little bit forward in your stance, and the clubhead should be level or starting on its upward arc when you strike the ball.  If the ball is back and the clubhead is still on its downward arc, you're going to lose a great deal of driving distance.\n\nSecond, you need to make sure that you hit *through* the ball and complete your swing.  If you are only swinging *to* the ball, you're going to be slowing down your swing before the clubhead reaches the ball, resulting in lost distance.  You need to take a full swing, and just let the ball get in the way.

hello yahoo pals,\n\n    i am reallly curious to know about nanotechnology and it's major contributions to the world.

Molecular nanotechnology ("MNT") is an anticipated manufacturing technology that would allow precise control and positional assembly of molecule-sized building blocks through the use of nano-scale manipulator arms. Molecular nanotechnology is usually considered distinct from the more inclusive term "nanotechnology", which is now used to refer to a wide range of scientific or technological projects that focus on phenomena or properties of the nanometer scale (around 0.1-100nm). Nanotechnology is already a blossoming field, but molecular nanotechnology - the goal of productive, molecular-scale machine systems - is still in the preliminary research stage.\n\nNanotechnology was first introduced in 1959, in a talk by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, entitled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom". Feynman proposed using a set of conventional-sized robot arms to construct a replica of themselves, but one-tenth the original size, then using that new set of arms to manufacture an even smaller set, and so on, until the molecular scale is reached. If we had many millions or billions of such molecular-scale arms, we could program them to work together to create macro-scale products built from individual molecules - a "bottom-up manufacturing" technique, as opposed to the usual technique of cutting away material until you have a completed component or product - "top-down manufacturing".\n\nFeynman's idea remained largely undiscussed until the mid-80s, when the MIT-educated engineer K. Eric Drexler published "Engines of Creation", a book to popularize the potential of molecular nanotechnology. Because MNT would allow manufacturers to fabricate products from the bottom up with precise molecular control, a very wide range of chemically possible structures could be created. Since MNT systems could put every molecule in its specific place, molecular manufacturing processes could be very clean and efficient. Also, because every little bit of matter in an molecular nanotechnology system would be part of a nano-scale manipulator, nanotechnological systems could be far more productive and maintain much higher throughputs than modern manufacturing techniques, which use macro-scale manipulators to fabricate products.\n\nTo initiate an MNT revolution would require an "assembler" - a reprogrammable nano-scale manipulator capable of creating a wide range of molecular structures, including a complete copy of itself. The first assemblers will only function effectively in lab-controlled environments, such as a vacuum. The advent of self-replicating molecular nanomachines could quickly lead to "desktop nanofactories", tabletop appliances that consume modest amounts of power and contain the software required to manufacture an interesting range of useful products. The arrival of MNT would revolutionize wide sectors of human activity, including manufacturing, medicine, scientific research, communication, computing, and warfare. When full-blown molecular nanotechnology will arrive is currently unknown, but many experts foresee its arrival between 2010 and 2020.


I'm guessing it's from the 80's and it's starting to get creepy because I hear it wherever i go.  It's a soft song, and the only lyrics I remember are "all right now, (something something) day, in every possible way".  It was on a commercial once for the movie "Mona Lisa Smile".  Other than that I'm totally lost.

Are you talking about the Cranberries song?  I know it has the "in every possible way" part in that song..... And it is not from the 80's if thats what you are talking about.

Ok i have an actuall win xp cd but i cant activate, so i need a crack... i have downloaded cracks in the past but they dont last forever and i need one that last for ever so i was wondering if anyone knew were a crack like that is avalible for download.

There is not one. That is the simple answer. Every "crack" that has come out has ended up with the exact same problem. That being no way to overcome the automatic updates, or updates of any time. The second you get a windows update, the authorization file on your computer gets reverted back and the countdown begins. I have seen most of the cracks, and they are all the same. So the better option is going back to  SP1 which did not include the Windows protection feature like SP2 does.


use terms: surface membrane receptors, plasmodesmata

Plant communication is all based on chemicals.\n\nThe idea that plants communicate chemically with one another has been around for a couple of decades, but it's only been in the last few years that solid scientific evidence has been accumulated to support the notion.\n\nOver three seasons spanning 1996 through 1998, researchers from the University of California in Davis monitored wild tobacco plants growing near sagebrush. They clipped the leaves of some of the sagebrush plants to mimic the damage caused by insects. The sagebrush plants responded with a puff of a chemical called methyl jasmonate. In response, tobacco plants downwind immediately begin boosting the level of an enzyme called PPO that makes their leaves less tasty to plant-eating insects. Within minutes of the clipping of the sagebrush, the plants' PPO levels quadrupled.\n\nIt worked, too. Tobacco plants next to the clipped sagebrush suffered sixty percent less damage from grasshoppers and caterpillars than tobacco plants next to unclipped sagebrush.\n\nThen, last fall, scientists at Kyoto University in Japan let spider mites loose on lima-bean plants and tracked the plants' responses. They found five different defense mechanisms. First, each injured plant released a chemical that changed its flavor, making it less attractive to the mites (although I personally nd it hard to imagine anything less attractive than the taste of a lima bean to begin with).\n\nThen the plants released other chemicals that drifted away. Other lima bean plants received the chemical and immediately begin giving off the same chemicals, making themselves less tasty and warning still more lima bean plants, before the mites even reached them.\n\nMost amazingly, some of the released chemicals had the effect of summoning a whole new batch of mites--mites that, rather than eating lima bean plants, preferred to eat the spider mites attacking the lima bean plants.\n\nThe Japanese researchers even found that the plants could distinguish between insect damage and crushing damage. They crushed some leaves and stems and found that although the injured plants released chemicals, the surrounding plants ignored them, somehow recognizing no real danger existed. (It appears that substances in the attacking insects' saliva are required to trigger the anti-insect chemical response in the plant.)\n\nOther examples from agriculture are also known. Corn under attack from armyworms, for instance, puts out a chemical signal that attracts a predatory wasp. The wasp lays its eggs inside the armyworm; when they hatch, the wasp larva eat the armyworm.\n\nAnd a study released last week shows that this kind of signaling exists not only in agricultural situations and in labs, but in the wild--which means it is likely widespread throughout the plant kingdom.\n\nResearchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany, discovered that when a species of wild tobacco plant that grows in the southwestern United States is damaged by hornworms (the larva of the hawkmoth) it releases chemicals that attract predatory insects that kill the larva.\n\nSuch chemical calls for helps benefit both the plant being attacked and the predators, who would otherwise find it very difficult to find the larva, which are camouflaged and also tend to feed on the underside of leaves, where they can't be seen. Most likely the plant developed a chemical defense that predators evolved to take advantage of, but the result is the same as if the plant consciously sent out a cry for help.\n\nAgricultural scientists are already looking for ways to use this new understanding of plant communication to improve the way farmers fight pests. For example, these kind of indirect defenses could be genetically engineered into crops so that they could more effectively summon natural predators. That could reduce the need for chemical pesticides--in fact, you'd want to avoid chemicals, because they would kill the predator


I really don't like chicken breast,but I like chicken wings, legs & thighs, are these good to eat to lose belly fat when they are baked?  I dnt care for baked fish, cause I do not know how to cook it, so what are my option?  I am 5'5 174lbs and I want to get down to 145 - 150lbs, what can I do?  Help please......

Hydrocut does not help in any way, the better method is to increase high intensity cardio activity and combine it with protein supplement. This supplement should be virtually fat free (Cell Tech) is one of the best. The protein increase the bodies ability to burn fat. Make sure your work outs are balanced and you combine weights with you cardio plans.

I have often noticed that people get so mad at Christians because we share what we believe and they resist back by saying "we have the freedom of speach" and with that statment they begin to subpress what the Christian is trying to say,well... what about our rights? Don't we have any?It seems to me that people try to monipulat these "sayings" to benafit there argument, when it is convenit.I saw that a lot of people have a missundestanding on Chirstians, there are those who give Christianity a bad name and as a Christian i apolagize that some of you have had bad incounters with us. Some people said that we are out there to condemn, but thats not true, the scriptues even say that even Jesus did not come to condemn the world but that through him they might be saved.Now i will say this, the reason that a lot of people react in a defencive way,isn't becuse there condemning anyone, mabe it is because there right in saying sin is sin, and its not there belife that is afended there pirde is..

We have all the rights we refuse to abandon.  "Rights" must be preserved, honored and exercised in order to maintain them.  Eternal vigilance.  \n\nNOBODY can take away your right to freedom of speech unless you give up that right.  You may face conflict, but isn't that what Jesus told us would happen?  "Blessed are those who are hated for my name's sake."\n\n\nStand strong, put on the armor of God, and never give up your rights.

workmans compensation benefits the employers not the employees even though the employees are paying for it and it is not their fault that their injuries happen to outweight the amounts that have been put in. i.e. serious \nhead injuries

First of all, both employer and employee pay into each states workers compensation benefits fund.  This is also called in some states, State Disability Insurance.  I do believe that in most states, the employer's portion is more than the employee's.  When you are injured on the job, it is the employer's responsibility to file an injury report and to assist the employee in filing an injury claim.  The employee will be paid benefits, based upon tables, an amount to assist them in meeting their basic expenses.  This amount, truly, is too low, and just might offset some minor expenses.  You should be coordinating your compensation/disability claim with your employer's human resources department.  But remember, in filing a claim, you are dealing with State Employees.  Not all of them are anxious to work, or to help you out.


why is a bullseye is called a bullseye, and not a horse-eye or pigeye or something?

Copied from the referenced website:\n\nFor the answer, we have to go a bit further back in time. Since the 17th century, "bull's-eye" has been used as a term for almost anything small and circular, especially if it protrudes slightly, forming a hemispherical bump resembling the protruding eye of a bull or cow. Thus, at various times, "bull's-eye" has been used to designate a thick piece of glass set into the deck of a ship to illuminate the lower decks, a one-crown coin of British currency, a globular piece of candy, and a small circular window, among other things. So although the spot in the center of a target doesn't protrude like a real "bull's eye," it is small and circular and thus fit the popular definition of "bull's-eye."

I had mine removed a few years ago.  Are there certain foods that bother you?  I tend to get an upset stomach a lot no matter what I eat.  Does anyone have this problem?  Have you found something that helps?

I had my gallbladder removed when I was 15 and I am now 26. At the time of my surgery, they did not tell me what I was in for. I sure wish I had the darn thing back. I had an upset stomach after only a few bites of food and was running to the bathroom every 10 minutes. The doctor told me to stay away from spicy and really fatty foods, but I have found that most of the time I get sick no matter what type of food I eat. What I have found is that if you skip a meal or two and then eat a heavy meal, you will most surely be really sick. So I make sure that I eat a little something even if I'm not that hungry. It also helps to make sure that you eat a bland breakfast if you want to have a nice lunch or dinner that might be fatty or spicy. I hope this helps and feel free to send me a message. I have found that you really have to bond with other people who have had this procedure and you will find that you are not alone. Good luck!

few weeks ago i started a online advertising job but i dont think i am doing it right.  i have a little baby at home. i cant really live her anywhere and i thought working online could be helpful if i can make some extra money.  the thing is that i have no idea how to do it, i really dont have any intrest in business and advertising.  i kind a need somebody to tell me how to do it right and to make it work because so far i have no results.

One of the best advertising things you can do is go into forums and chat rooms that are based on consumers of your product (i.e., if you sell shampoo, go to hair care forums) and chat with people about what you do.

cuz I get stoned in the morning, I get drunk in the afternoon...?

But I aint asking nobody for nothin.....if I can't get it on my own.....Long haired country boy yeeee haw lol!


im 14 and my brothers friend watch's me while im in the shower through the window . he dont know i know he there but heres the question , have you caught anyone watching you like the situation im in and what did you do? and was it a turn on??

Well, I've never caught anybody watching me, but if I were you, i would tell my folks what's going on. And how old is the boy? If he's like 9 or 10, it could be just curiosity and nothing to be real upset about, but if he's older, then I suggest taking action.


Are you getting ready for work? Or what are you planning to do today?


i have been tring to search for auditions to get into commercials but i have found nothing any suggestions.

Try looking on the internet for agents on Dateline around a year ago they had these older people on their talking how they was on fix income but was doing commercials. Their was this one man they was talking how he just was going from one commercial to the next and they had agents this may be why your having trouble getting intouch with someone i have worked for some entertainers and nobody can get close to them agents is your key. Get you photos done by professionals and dont sign anything untill a lawyer looks over it. Well good luck go after your dreams they never just come and knock on your door.*


Cause I wil be high sch. in June and needs a tip

Popular - two types.\nIf you want to be in the popular cliche you've got to have the hottest looks and everything. All popular people are in on the gossip. \nIf you want to be liked, then be really nice to everybody. \nThere's a huge difference. The first one, everybody wants to be you but they still think you're a total bitch. The second one, most people like you except for some who think you're like a sucking up person or whatever.


there is one thing, which is very common, you can find very easily, but in reality it is hard to find- to be common!or blind to see around you!.

Alex! Can I have COMMON SENSE for a thousand


if so then which laews should be obeyed and which ones ignored? who should decide which ones to listen to and which ones to ignore? at what point does it all fall apart and anachy sets in?

As someone planning to enter the legal profession, I'd have to answer officially that all laws should be equally respected.\n\nHowever, the argument that I most often hear against this is that some laws are either obsolete or are invalid without having been removed.\n\nFor example, there are laws on the books in some states that mandate what sexual positions married couples can use in their own home. This contradicts US Supreme Court cases that say such matters are private and not subject to government regulation, but the laws are still on the books. Or laws that require a person traveling on state roads to walk in front of any vehicle carrying a lantern when it is sufficiently foggy.\n\nThe proper legal approach is to have these laws changed, rather than simply ignoring them. In practice, however, the court's might refuse to hear the challenge if nobody has been prosecuted under the law for 80 years. So, it's generally more efficient to wait until these laws are enforced, and then challenge them. But since they are utterly pointless or otherwise invalid, following them in the interim doesn't make sense.\n\nI've also heard the same argument made about laws that are just annoying, such as smoking marijuana or speeding, with the argument going that everyone does it, and few get caught, so what's the big deal. Personally, however, this shows disrespect for the concept of law in general, which tarnishes the other (what some call 'important') laws. \n\nIf everyone starts following the principle of ignoring laws until they get caught, and resisting arrest, that could potentially lead to anarchy if the law-breakers vastly outnumber the law-enforcers.


i need ideeas about a good job.i'm new in this country and i don't know much.please give me advices.some companys or something.i don't know were to start on.\ntks very much!

Do not work for someone else, you will become a slave to them. They will tell you how much you get paid, and when and where to work.  Find people who work for themselves and they say things similar to what I have mentioned.\n\nYou want more info, get in touch with me.


what does MI depend on? Does it defer from mass moment of inertia? If it does, how?

The moment of inertia is of rotational kinematics, its formula depends on the object, its axis of rotation, and the mass is involved to.  So that is how it differs.\nYou can find information on inertia here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia#Torque\nand here is a table of them\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

As soon as he wakes in the morning he has a raging hard on and wants sex straight away!! Does anyone else have this and why does it happen?

Maybe he dreamt Carmen Electra naked last nite ?!


he is actually my uncle and both my parents have passed away and would like to find out the truth about my uncle

Because he is crazy or psycho whould be my bet!! do you have other relitves to ask, brothers, sisters, Grandparents! or call the hospital and speak with him if that is possible!! good luck


I am trying help a family member, and I need to know can he draw money from the well before the regular retirment age of 66 for him and I.

It probably means that if a person has worked for the city or state for 25 years they can draw a retirement.  You should check with whoever it was that was worked for to get particular details.


I read that social security crisis is a myth...but it's the security crisis that is the basic reasoning for privitizing SS...so it it's not the crisis....what other reasons do they have for wanting to privitize social security??

The Social Security crisis is not a myth, it's an inevitability of demographics that there will be more people drawing than paying in to it in the future.  The so called trust fund has been invested in very low yielding bonds for a long time, mostly so Congress could have access to the money to hide deficits (both parties share blame equally for this).  Generally speaking the average person  would be able to get a better return on on that money in a self directed IRA, 401K plan, or buying annuities.


i want the game and thats teh reason im trying to do this, if i click on it to play it says "error launching the game", is there anything i can do to actually play the game?

I guess what you meant is the entry on add/remove program window is not gone after you click the uninstall button, try installing the game back, then uninstall it but using the start|all program|rollercoaster tycoon uninstall link, not the add/remove program option\nit should be uninstalled even the entry is still there as long as you see the uninstalling in progress.\nif not action after you click the uninstall link or click the uninstall button, check if you got c:\program files\hasbro interactive\rollercoaster... that folder there, if every thing intact, you can click the folder and delete it from there, it would harm the system, if you want to clean the entry on add/remove program, start|run|regedit go to menu click my computer icon and file|export put a date as file name and same the registry a copy as backup, go to edit and search for whatever name appear as the entry on add/remove program windows, find and delete, until exhausted your find, then you will clean up the game, 95%. and no more entry left. If you made mistake, just import the file you backed up and start over.


About 10 generals R saying that Rumsfeld shoud retire . What do U think ?

I believe so.When five retired generals think he should go,that's a pretty good sign that he has not gotten the job done.Personally,I would have aked him to resign long before now.This war has been a farce.Our troops went in woefully unprepared for the combat they are now engaged in.We did not take the insurgents into consideration.Why not? Isn't that part of Rumsfeld's job? The sheer arrogance of this man is appalling.He ,like our president , will never admit to mistakes made.They just keep telling the American citizens to be patient.Baloney.There is no exit strategy now and who knows when we can expect any.We're in such a mess now that I don't know if there is a way out that will allow us to save face with the world or not.There is something wrong when practically all the president's cabinet and colleagues are at the center of controversy every time you turn on the television.


*****WHAT DOES THIS QUOTE MEAN?\n\n"There are ... things ... that if I’d let be, they’d eat away at me and destroy me in the end...there are things you can’t back down on, things you gotta take a stand on. But it’s up to you to decide what them things are. You have to demand respect in this world, ain’t nobody just gonna hand it to you. How you carry yourself, what you stand for-that’s how you gain respect. But, little one, ain’t nobody’s respect worth more than your own."

niiiiiiiiiiiiice quote.  I like it a lot.  I'll have to get that book.\n\nBasically, it says that if you are the type of person to let things roll over and over and over in your head without ever coming to some sort of resolution, you will always get behind in everything you really want to do in life.\n\nIn terms of respect, there are a couple of thoughts on this.  How will you respect yourself if you don't respect others?  How will you be perceived as an honorable person if you let others run over you or you straddle the fence on important issues all the time?  \n\nI disagree with one statement.  "You have to demand respect in this world,......"  Actually, I don't demand respect.  I don't have to because I can look at you or speak to you in such a way that the respect comes natural.  \n\nI command respect by my mere presence.


This question is asked about a thousand times a day by every sports writer in the country, LeBron or Kobe?  You can make a case for either player for the MVP, Kobe has had a spectacular season, posting numbers that haven't been seen since Jordan was on the courts.  Plus dropping 81 points in a game early this season, that was amazing.  But Kobe only cares about Kobe, he may be a great player, but he doesn't make his teammates better, there lies the difference between him and LeBron.  LeBron can score at will just like Kobe, and control/dominate a game like Kobe, but LeBron averages over 6 assists and 6 rebounds a game, Kobe doesn't.  LeBron plays team basketball, Kobe doesn't.  That will be the difference in the voting.


I just read where Bush is "temporarily" suspending the cleaner environment standards for the oil producers. Do you think that was what they wanted all along? Raise the price so people panic and are willing to surrender issues like the environment so they can have more energy? I am willing to bet the "temporary" is not so temorary. I think its all one big contrived conspiracy. Any opinions?

It is funny how people complain about the price of gas and then complain when the Pres. tries to do something to lower that cost. Lets here some solutions from the people who grip about everything he attempts to deal with. I have yet to hear a plan that is logical from anyone. Alternative fuels ,yes but where are the people at that are willing to fund the development of these fuels? The president can not force companies to make a new fuel source as that would not be free enterprise. Do you think the oil companies who's profits are way up are really going to work hard to come up with other sources? I would love for the US to go to ethanol but someone with more money than me will have to set up the refineries. This solution he is giving is not enough and I will agree with you there but it will take more than the Pres to fix this problem. I will be honest and say that I could do more to help like take public transportation, quit driving my truck, stop letting the grocery store us plastic bags for my purchases but I like these things. We need to Stop playing the blame game.

But it made the pain worse. He has been to a pain management doctor and was told his only option  was medication. He even went to see another neurologist who said there is nothing He can do. Is there anyone out there who has proffessional knowledge on this?

Try a pain clinic, acupuncture, physical therapy, or a TENS unit.  A TENS unit is a little box that emits little shocks to interupt the pain signal to the brain and often helps you feel a lot better without any drugs.

It is a fact that 30% of american students cant name the 1st president of the US while 96% of canadians can. Also the dropout rate in the US i believe is 30% (or even higher) while in canada it is sitting around 7%. Why are two countries that are so similar and culturally connected have such a massive gap in terms of quality of education. I would appreiate your opinions.


Not the photovoltaic, rather the kind you insert by the burner of the water heater. Name of manufacturer please

I heard of a way of producing an electric courant by heating on side of a PN jonction made of two different type of metal. \nI also saw a alcool lamp with a collier all around that was producing enough electricity for a radio, that was realy long time ago ( may be 60 years ), that collier was made with near an hundred piece of two metal in alternance, and each jonction was a thermal diode.


I wanted to buy a home that I saw on ebay. I called the lady and we had an agreement for me to sent the money to the title company and at that time she would end the auction. 5 hours later she called me back saying that her partner had already sold the  house but that person had not given them the money. She told me to wait till wednesday and she would call and let me know if the other party had sent the money. I would like to know if I have any legal recourse. We did have a verble contract for the house.

My son is at college and he has been put forward by one of the teachers as an Emerging Scholar.

It is most likely some kind of honor your son is being nominated for by one of his professors. I would imagine its probably for something in his major, and it is most likely a pretty nice accomplishment. Id congradulate him.


Kerry is gay and Bush rockes.  Let's Kill them terrists.

I voted for Bush, Kerry had no plan, like the Democrats.  He could not wait to change his mind on every issue, and is too high and mighty. If I were to marry someone worth 50 million and then divorce her and marry someone worth 500 million I bet people would call me a gold digger.

That's a great great album and it's not like any other rap. It's teach us about reality of life, not kinda Snoop Dogg's or 50 Cent's. BTW, Linkin Park just take a rest a little bit until they're ready for the next album. Mike maybe have a money crisis that make him must continue working.

A right handed pitcher can fake a throw to third and throw to first but a left handed pitcher can not fake a throw to first and throw to third. A left handed pitcher would get called for a balk move and right hander would not.

You answered your own question.  Try it, and you'll be called for a balk.  However, it evens out because a lefty has a much easier throw to first than a righty.


i dont mind havin it wid him coz we luv eachother soo muc but i m juss too scared dat soemthing will go wrong or i mite get pregnant n ruin my life. u kno wut i mean..

Do not do it, better after marriage. . .Genuine love is only in heart and could combat lust. . .\n\nRemember that lust is very quick and it reaches always an end, while love is eternal and limitless. . .


Would u go with (4-2-4) or (4-3-3) how would u deal with the all the EGO's? I mean two many stars means two many "I want to start"

I will start with the classic 4-4-2 with Ronaldinho, Robinho a little more backwards and Ronaldo. Later, in my opinion, we know that Ronaldo is not the same as some years ago, and I will change it for Adriano. It depends also how easy or difficult is the game.

i have to think of 10-15 reference books, ive thought of all the obvious, eg,yellowpages, postcodes, and thompson local. please tell me some more, and i have all the dictionary ones.

Well, a book that was on the market several years ago is the Dictionary of Cultural Literacy - it explains natural events, Mythology, origins of sayings, famous people, etc. - it is a VERY interesting book to read!\n\nAlso, there are books on Quotations, Atlas, etc. There is a HUGE amount of information about art, cars, and computers, too!


what should i emphasize the most for the upcoming exam??? What are the most challenging topics that appear in the test? Any opinions?

I am also preparing for the AP Calculus Exam in 2006 and I can tell you that the points that I saw emphasized most in taking practice former AP tests were solids of rotation (disc, washer, and shell), the fundamental thereom of Calculus (what integral means), U-substitution, derivative rules, Riemann sums, speed, linearization (finding the slope of the tangent line),  volume of known cross sections, concavity and inflection points, the area between two curves, differentiability and continuity, local and global extrema (critical points and end points), implicit differentiation equations, trignometric derivatives, the rule of exponential growth (like volume increasing at a rate proportional to the radius), average value of a function, optimization, and related rates.  I know that is a lot but I have taken 5 complete practice AP tests (former tests) in class since February and all of these concepts were reccuring.


is a good place for a teen to live or no. tell me please thanks!

I am teen, and i love Brooklyn,  I live here and there are alot of things to do and a lot of diversity,  you have the mall, movie theaters, roller skating rink,  labor day parade if you are west indian,  Too much to even explain.

Minutemen say they'll erect fence if Bush won't act \nBy Arthur H. Rotstein \nthe Associated Press \nTucson, Arizona | Published: 04.20.2006\nadvertisementMinuteman border watch leader Chris Simcox has a message for President Bush: Build new security fencing along the border with Mexico or private citizens will. \nSimcox said Wednesday that he's sending an ultimatum to the president, through the media, of course — "You can't get through to the president any other way" — to deploy military reserves and the National Guard to the Arizona border by May 25. \nOr, Simcox said, by the Memorial Day weekend Minuteman Civil Defense Corps volunteers and supporters will break ground to start erecting fencing privately. \n"We have had landowners approach," Simcox said in an interview. "We've been working on this idea for a while. We're going to show the federal government how easy it is to build these security fences, how inexpensively they can be built when built by private people and free

The Minutemen are patriots of the highest order, as are you and JD, and some others posting here! Banana Bean, laugh all you want - when the deportation starts, everybody can go cry on the shoulder of good ol' Vicente, right? We Americans need to act, and need to do it now! I applaud the Minutemen for bringing to light what the media has been reluctant to show. Americans must realize that our situation is growing more dire by the day. These invaders do not want to be Americans - they want us out of our own country, and we need to stop the inflow and take our country back! As Pancha so astutely points out, they aren't going to stop (you forgot to put the word ILLEGAL in front of immigrant again, Pancha) so they have to be stopped. If that makes the Minutemen vigilante's, oh well... I support them no matter what you want to call them - brief pause waiting for Pancha to call them racists... GOD BLESS THE US!!!\nYes, Banana Bean - they do want us out! I've seen the signs telling us "Go back to Europe", "This is our continent, not yours", etc. I'm wrong? I just took it wrong the same way I took it wrong when I saw all those Mexican flags flying at the rally's? Or I took it wrong when I saw the pic of the Mexican flag above an upside down American flag? Give it a break! We're not blind, and we're not stupid! You picked a fight with the wrong people - the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans wants illegals out! And although we might not get all of them, we'll at least keep the numbers way, way down - not out of control like it is now! Keep laughing...


whos is the best soccer/futbol player internationally right now at the moment?

It really depends. Ronaldinho, David Beckham, and Andryi Schevchenko are probably the best midfielders you will find. But Thierry Henry, Ronaldo, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, and Samuel Eto'o are some of the best forwards. In this group, Rooney is a kind of excemptional player because he can play forward, midfield, and defense because he is very skilled, extremely strong, pretty fast, and is very persistent. Although he may not be the best in the world quite yet, he's probably the best under 25.


There must have been a DNA which survived the Bad DNA. It would have been the fittest?

Charles Darwin proposed that the first proteins evolved from non-living matter. But how did this happen? Firstly, the earth was not the same today as it was 3 to 4 billion years ago when the first organic compounds where being formed. The early atmosphere was too hot for oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and other elements to exist alone, as they do today. These elements combined to form methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), water vapor (H2O), hydrogen sulfide (formula), hydrogen molecules (H2), etc. These where all, and thus the early atmosphere was called a 'reducing atmosphere'. Further, as there was no free oxygen to form an ozone (O3) layer to protect the earth from the harsh ultra-violet radiation (UV Rays) from the sun. Also, there where incredibly violent electrical storms, which where more violent than any which occur today. \n\nIn 1924 Alexander Oparin hypothesized that organic compounds where formed in the early earth when the high energy provided by UV Rays, and storms, caused different molecules to react, and create new organic compounds, such as Amino Acids DNA, and RNA.

My age mate and those am even older than,have it and i want to no why is like that.

No, you should not be worried.  However, I would advise you to get in to see your dentist to have an exam and xrays... make sure you do not have impacted teeth that are pushing against your other teeth.


1. You can manipulate objects/people while time is frozen (things can be moved, as normal, and stay inanimate).\n2. A person can come with you (be unfrozen with you, while everything else is frozen in time) by, lets say, holding your hand.\n3. You can freeze and unfreeze time an unlimited number of times, and do it without being noticed.

yes, and especially if I was in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation so that I could get away... I'm not a fast runner or very strong so it would probably be my only chance.. or for saving little kittems from being run over or something like that...

a samll aircraft maybe considered to be acted on by the 3 forces. the effective forward force is 6000N and acts horizontally. the weight of the aircraft is 5000N and the lifting force produced by the wings is 7000N. determine the magnitude and the direction of the resultant force acting on the aircraft.

Forget the 6000N horizontal for for a second...\n\nYou have 5000N acting downward (negative) and 7000N acting upward (positive). The total net force acting vertically to the A/C is 7000-5000= +2000N so upward. We know that the horizontal force of 6000N is acting at a 90 degree angle to the upward force so the resulting forces make a right triangle. Use Pathagorean theorem.\n\n2000^2 + 6000^2 = x^2\n\nx is your MAGNITUDE.\n\nNow find the angle:\n\nUse trigonometry: \n\nTan(Angle) = opposite/adjacent\nwe know the opposite is 2000 and the adjacent is 6000 so,\ninverse Tan(2000/6000) = 18.4 degrees, upward and forward.


I have a girlfriend that once said she Loves me, we met and fell fast for each other! \nShe has been in bad relationships before we met.\nAfter a big fight and much discussion we have decided that our relationship was moving way too fast.\nMy Love for her remains. She says she feels deeply for me, she misses me when I am gone, but she is not sure if it is Love. She says she is not sure of the definition of Love.\nAm I doomed? Is there any hope she is just confused or refuses to admit her love out of fear?\nIt felt like I had met my soulmate, and I think she feels the same but she does not Trust her judgement.\nI do not wish to delude myself but can it work if I Love her madly and she is unsure?\nShould I be patient and understanding or should I give up?

Whatever the 'definition' of love is doesn't matter; what matters is she isn't sure whether you are the one for her. Give her the space she needs to sort herself out. Surely there's not need to rush things.  Treat her as a friend and when you meet up don't try to jump her at every opportunity that will certainly put her on the defensive. Just be relaxed and she will stop feeling threatened by your obviously strong feelings, so yes be patient.


I would like to do my PhD in USA. I had my PG in Agri-Biotech and now working as research fellow in national institute in India.

It depends on what degree you want to get. Some PhD programs in the biological science areas will support you from day 1 and will pay you $18000 - 23000 a year. While this might seem a lot for you, it all comes down to which city are you living in. For example, I'm getting my PhD in Arizona and get paid 22000. By restricting some expenses and not having a car I could probably be able to save 500 dollars a month.

Is there any way to tell if a storm is near you and is there some precautions?

You can tell how far away a lightning storm is by listening to the thunder. I can't find it in my science book, but it takes about five second for sound to travel a mile, so watch the lightning, and after it flashes, count how many seconds it is before you hear the thunder. If its like five seconds, its a mile. like that. look at these websites.\n\n\nhttp://www.tornadochaser.com/tormake20.htm\n\nhttp://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/whys/thunder2.htm

I'm 5'5" 115 , 27 . .  I've had maybe 6 or 7 instances over the past 4 years of where it felt like my heart missed a beat and was a feeling of tightness right in that area.

I eat average and I'm on the sedentary side of the fitness scale, blood pressure is normal, I'd imagine everything else is ok.   I may have also been stressed or depressed during this period , so that could be a factor.  I can also sit kinda weird on a chair, where my chest and body weight is leaned on an armrest and cuts off circulation to the heart area - which can trigger something simliar to what I'm describing.  \nAny first handed ideas, other than go to the doctor?

I have the feeling sometimes that my heart "skips" a beat.  It's like thump, thump, thump......thump.  I asked my doctor about it, he checked things out with an EKG, etc...and said that it is most likely just normal for me.  It can be brought on by periods of anxiety or stress...try decreasing caffeine.  BUT MOST IMPORTATNLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED WITH A DOCTOR YET...DO SO, MAKE SURE ITS NORMAL FOR YOU.

When I was told by my childs teacher that he wasn't being taught his math facts in class (had to review (I say teach) at home) because there wasn't enough time I was shocked. And then on two ocassions my 6 yr old was told to put his hand down to class related questions, I realized I needed to look around for a setting that could provide him attention when it was needed. Found a small church (I mean small). Classes are shared, i.e., K5/1st, 2nd/3rd ... up to 12th. They use the popluar rated Abeka program and deem themselves a homeschool. Just not sure if this would be a good move. My K4 son is already starting to read and the 1st grader made the honor roll. Both are taught at higher grade levels. The school academic program I feel is good, but I want to be sure they are given an opportunity to take in, comprehend, all that is being taught. It seems the emphasis is on completing the curriculum for the school year and therefore moving faster than the kids can keep up. No room for review.

Go with the church school - although if they are doing all the teaching I'm not sure how they qualify as a homeschool.  If they are ahead of their grade level at their current school, what's stopping them from being ahead in the church one?

I am wondering who is going to die next on LOST. I think that it is going to be the phychiatrist (or however you say it) because she's in trouble in REAL life for i think drunk driving. What do you think?


I mean, would it cause any natural disasters or something?

if you fart continuously for 8 years, you can create energy enough to make an atomic bomb. So if everybody farted, it would be like a few atomic bombs exploding.


This has been going on for quite awhile but who thought it was a good gimmick to combine celebrity couples names? Brangelina, Bennifer, TomKat? It seems a bit rediculous and disrespectful.

The whole fad started when some dead-souled celebrity magazine writer stopped doing blow in the bathroom long enough to coin the name "Brangelina." Celebrity gossip writers are herd animals by nature and soon *every* couple was seeing their names butchered and mashed into some syrupy-cute concatenation. It's idiotic, it's annoying, and if I ever find out who's responsible for starting the "baby bump" phrase I will punch that person's heart straight through their chest.

They sent me a post card advertising www.FreeMoneyWebsite.com" but neglected to say what the product is!!  I can start making money today--but with what?  I REALLY need to make some money fast, but I have seen so many scams, I'm leery of another one.

Don't. This business belongs to Michael Kimble who has made a bundle off of folks and who plays "get rich quick" schemes. You would have to invest.\n\nI searched the Internet and found some mighty unhappy people who complained about Kimble and his business methods.\n\nIf it sounds too good to be true, it usually is not.


I just want to be more assertive and confident. Which route should I take?

L. Ron Hubbard the science fiction writer, was sitting at a bar with Robert A. Heinlein and bet him that he could make millions of dollars by starting a religion, Scientology believes that star trek like characters brain washed all of us and we must be deprogramed by paying a lot of money to become a scientologist. His son L. Ron jr. has publicly denounced his farther, along with his first two wives, and his gay son Quentin was found dead on October 28, 1978 under suspicious circumstances. L.Ron Hubbard married Sara Northrup pregnant with Jack Parsons child, while still married to Margaret "Polly" Grubb with whom he fathered children. L. Ron jr. and Katherine May, Quentin was the child of Mary Sue Whipp. L. Ron Hubbard died of a Vistaril overdose January 24, 1986.


Me and my boyfriend feel awkward around eachother. We've been dating for about 6 months. We've gone to a movie together three times and two times he tried to hold my hand, but I was too nervous to. I want to hold his hand but I don't know how to get over my nerves. Advice?

i think its perfectly ok to start dating at 12. Hold hands, kiss but dont even think about anything else until you are 100% ready. Next time he wants to hold your hand, grab it and give him a big smile. =)

What causes gravity and intensity of gravity?

gravity is actually not constant over the surface of the earth. there is slighty more gravity when you are on a mountain versus when you are in a valley, or when you are near the equator vesus the poles. this is because the earth is not a perfect sphere, and the force of gravity depends on how much matter is below you. once you leave the surface, however, gravity decreases the farther you get away from the surface. check out wikipedia.org


could the drug dealer lose his property like ive stated even if the properties were paid for in cash and hes served is time in prison also could the drug dealer declare bankrupcy and why if if he was in prison in 1999 are they persuing the case now 7yrs on the court reckond that the drug dealer had made an estimated 161,000 in the 12months he been selling drugs and they were going to get this money back so what can he do about this does he stand to lose his property even if the drug dealer is still living in the property and also for the past 7yrs they have been putting interest o the top of this of 100 pounds a wk can  this be done. and is their law in the land that says the courts cant do this like a court in scotland judge sed if u have been to been to prison for drug related crime that should be enough shouldt have to seize the property u are living in

In Ireland they changed the law after Veronica Guerin was shot, now if you have loads of stuff, cars/houses n the like and you cant prove how you came by the money to buy these things then the police can not only take the house but also everything in it down to the clothes of your back. As far as I know the same thing happens in England. Hope that helps


My computer is kinda outdated. Its a dell something?

Whenever i have to compete in tae kwon do form division, i get nervous and my usually perfect form suffers because of it causing me to speed thorugh the form-major problem, and shaky movements. Any ideas that can calm nerves and focus besides deep breaths and stuff like that? thanks

Before you go up to do your routine try and realize a few different things...first most of your competitors have similar nervousness it can be a disconcerting feeling to go up and perform against people and for people that you are not used to - just try and do the best you can. Secondly realize that you do have a good grasp of your technique, otherwise you wouldnt be up there in a tournament setting. Try and be confident that you have mastered your abilities as best as you were able in preparation for the contest. Again you can only perform as well as you can perform and you just have to be at peace with what the results will bring.


I broke up with my x about three months ago and havent been with anyone since. I've been doing my own thing. And dont really have time for a man in my life but at times i still feel alone. And i just want someone there to hold me. How do I cure this feeling????

The only real cure for that is to get someone new in your life. It's the human connection you're craving (the puppy thing doesn't fill the void) and there's really nothing else that will satisfy that need. I suggest finding a guy you can be friends with for a while and maybe down the road you could free up some time for something more. In the meantime, keep occupied and those feelings will pass :)


sqrt(75a^2)\n___________\nsqrt(5)\n\nhow would i simplify this?

sqrt(75a^2) can be written as\n\nsqrt(15) * sqrt(5) * sqrt(a^2)\n\nSo cancel out the sqrt(5) in the numerator and denominator, take the square root of a^2, and you have\n\na * sqrt(15)\n\nThis cannot be simplified further.


My mother past away when I was little gurl, and as far my family tells me, so did my father. At the age of 25, I still have a hard time coping with their deaths (esp. my mother's)and I don't know why. I barely remember them, but yet, I still feel like theres a void in my life because they're not here. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how I can cope better?

You do have a void in your life. You miss the parents you wish you had. My father passed away more than twenty years go when i was a little girl and i still am having a hard time with it. I don't remember conversations and never got to know him. I miss what i could of had. There is no real getting over it. It's more of accepting the way things are. I know i can't bring him back and it sucks. One thing i read recently i wish i could remember where. The article was about making a patch work quilt in your mind with the people in your life that have the qualities that you would want in a mother or father. Say you have a friend who is really good at listening, that can be a piece of what a mom is to you. Someone else in your life who encourages you is another part of what a mom is to you and slowly you piece together a mother. Instead of getting all of a mom in one person many people end up fill the void that is empty. It will never be the same as the real thing but that is where acceptance is a huge part of learning to cope. You will always miss them and wonder what life would be like with them. I wish i had a better answer for you. Sincerely,if during my journey in finding acceptance with my fathers death i learn something better i will let you know.

I'M READY FOR MARRAIGE. DO I NEED TO BACK OFF AND WAIT FOR HER OR QUIT WHILE I'M AHEAD. I DON'T WANT TO WASTE ANY MORE TIME.

It depends.  \n\nDo you love her, or do you just want to get married?\n\nWhat about marriage frightens her?\n\nPremarrital counseling sounds like the best option, if you can get her to go.  She may have some solid reasons that could be resolved in counseling.  It would also help you to know if you are really ready.


i know his last gf broke up with him because she found out he was cheating on her. but he just has this charm and i dont know wat to tell him

If you chose to go out with him that is your choice. However know that you might get hurt. Go into it knowing what your expectations are and let him know and do not expect more out of him then you think you can handle.\nI think it would be much easier to be with someone you can trust though that is just my opinion


How do I enter the Monastery? What are the requirements for acceptance?

Actually becoming a monk requires two things: \n1. Having a call from God.\n2. Accepting this call.\n\nTo verify if you are really called, you should pray and also talk to a catholic priest. \nAccepting God's call is done by you. What a joy and proud is to say Yes to God. It is a real test of our love for God.\nAfter that you should know what order (fransiscan, carmelite, jesuits,...) does God call you to be in. Then you see what are the requirements of that specific order (usually they are not that big deal). \nA monk has three vows: poverty, chastity and obedience.\nFor more help, you can e-mail me at volunteer4u_85@yahoo.com


You really don't have much choice. He broke up with you, so now it is time to move on with your life. Don't see this as a negative thing, instead see it as the chance to develop new relationships. You sound young, so this probably wasn't the right one for you anyway. Love and respect yourself and know that you deserve better. Don't rush into a new relationship right away, because we usually make the wrong choice on the rebound. Enjoy being free and wait for that special guy to come along. He will be worth waiting for! Good Luck! =-)\n\nS.S.


a telecommunications company uses three different systems to produce the print shaft holder for its most popular fax machine. system a produces 50% of the shaft holders, system b produces 30%of the shaft holders, and system c produces 20%of the shaft holders. the percentages of the defective shaft holders produced by each system are respectivly, 3%, 4% and 5%.\nIf a shft holder is selected at random what is the probabiluty that it is defective?

This is easy, just say there are 100 shaft holders.  So of A, 50 of them are processed there, and 3% don't work, so 1.5 out of 50.  For B, it is 30 x 4%=1.2, and C is 20 x 5%=1.  \n\nSo out of a total 100, 3.7 don't work, the the probability that this one chosen at random wont work is 3.7%.  \n\nHopefully the way i calculated the answer helps you out in the future.

i just don't understand how a car can roll over if gravty can not be broken i have many people tell me diffrent things butt i wanna know what other people think

Think of a car traveling at 90 mph up a ramp. When it gets to the end of the ramp all four wheels leave the ground and the whole car continues upward. Is gravity broken? No, it's just that the velocity of the car upward has more force than gravity trying to pull it down. Of course it will pull it down as soon as the upward momentum decreases enough.\n\nAnother example. The Shuttle orbits around Earth even though gravity is still there and as strong as ever. Again there are two forces at work on the Shuttle -- gravity is pulling downward while at the same time the Shuttle's speed is trying to hurl it off into space. The two forces aren't cancelled or "broken," they're just balanced so that neither completely gains control of the Shuttle.


I would like keep in touch to my parents... but I dont know what i should talk to them... I want be forgive to them... I love them... It is my parents... They were unhappy with me.. I moved out of state and lived my boyfriend... We will getting marriage. I am very happy with guy.. He is christian... He is do good to me alots... Please help me work out should write letter to my parents. Thanks!

Yes, a letter is a really good place to start, that way you can go over it a few times to be sure all your feelings are worded just right.  Let them know that you love them, and that you want their blessing in your marriage so that they can be a part of your life.  \nMy folks have such issues with my husband, that they caused a huge rift in our family. I picked a man who loves me without fail and would be as good a father to my kids as my dad was to me. I KNOW THIS! But instead, I wake up every day and say to myself, 'I miss my mom, today'. \nThe letter thing doesnt always work, but at least you know that you have given them an open invitation into your life. It is up to them to take the nest steps.  You have made the most important step, which is to Forgive. Sometimes, there are things in life, which parents learn from watching their kids. Instead of the other way around. That is what family is for! Dont give up!


sadly, i don't think so, i wish they did that would be freaking awesome! i would want to be a fairy


remember the world cup 2002, soccer, when korea UNfairly beat Spain AND Italy , i was so pissed.

Ugh I wanted Spain to win not so much Italy but anyway spain have way more talented players than Korea. Hopefully Spain can beat Korea if they have a match against each other.


The death-rate compared to Hiroshima is almoust the same, but this was happening in peace times. There were six human errors done in the same time which lead to the disaster. The russians had and have a very good technology and very well trained and experienced people. If this could happen to them, what would be in Iran?

The disaster in Chernobyl was a by-product of the Soviet system, which did not reward the bearer of bad news and did not divulge negative information to the public.  \n\nThe issue in Iran is not relevant.  In the Iranian issue, the debate is centered on weapons-grade fissible production.  The concern isn't whether they can operate a nuclear reactor safely, but rather their intentions for use of nuclear weapons and whether or not they will account for them.\n\nPeople still talk about Chernobyl.  You just don't hang out with people who do.  Current reactor technology is much more advanced and safer that it was.  Also, as indicated earlier, the problem was not a technical one, but a political/sociological one.  It is interesting though, because only 5 years after Chernobyl, the Soviet Union melted down in much the same way Chernobyl did.  One almost has to believe it was inevitable.

how do you feel about the soldiers leaving us for a year to fight a war that our president is putting us in?

I think that it is a well thought out plan for anti-terroisum because the extremest that want to hurt the us go to iraq and attack well trained soilders rather than u.s. civillins. soilders fight back civlians cry and would then complain about how the president and the government is not protecting them when in fact thats what the soilders in iraq are doing right now! Bush is a great president and if you dont like this country leave its as simple as that. as for the soilders we are proud of what we do and i say we because i am one and i feel like one year is nothing if you look at other wars that we have fought one year is nothing in ww2 soilders were gone for 3 or 4 years. we do whats right and all we ask for is respect. think about this if bush had done nothing about the sept 11 attacks how many other civilians would have died though other terroist attacks i would love to shake the presidents hand

i have Windows 98.  I used to be able to go on and it would tell me what updates I should have.  I haven't done it for a few months and now it tells me I need to be an administrator.  It also has pop ups saying my security settings won't allow ActiveX.  I'm a computer dummy.  Please help! Nothing I do has worked.

log in as administrator(only need to do this if you have more than one user account on pc),you will be asked for your password. ActiveX controls are disabled by default but must be allowed for some sites to work eg: microsofts updates. Just click on the bar that says activeX controls not allowed and select allow from this site. Go to your control panel and select download and install updates automatically,then you wont have to worry about manually checking for updates.


I'm in my 20s and my father has never there. i don't even know what im missing! but i feel such a void inside. can anyone relate? people have told me that when you have a child, you can give your children what you never had and i would definatly do that, but i honestly don't think that's fair. i want that for ME first ya know? i've never even had a mentor so i feel confused. am i too late to have a father figure that just wants to take me under his wing? i mean beyond just being tough, some quality time hangin out and taking on some of his traits. i know with God all things are possible, but i need some opinions from you guys :) so HELP!!

It is not only boys and men who suffer from "father hunger." When I was about the same age you are, I wanted a daddy so bad, it literally made me feel sick every time I thought about it. I grew up with a stepfather who made it clear right from the start that I couldn't expect anything from him except a roof over my head, food on the table and the clothes on my back. \n\nI don't know if it was all the family shows on TV that showed little girls running to their Dad's and being tossed in the air, or having their pony-tails pulled while they teased and played with them that made me feel that way. Perhaps it was the scenes where they shared a little girl heartache or problem and Daddy helped them fix it that got to me. I don't know, but it got to me. I just wanted to be daddy's little princess. Not my own Dad, you understand. A REAL Dad, a fantasy bigger than life.\n\nWhen my own daughter was born, and later my son, I grieved that there was no Grand Dad around to brag up his grandchildren, and be there to spoil them rotten the way you see it portrayed in the movies and TV shows. It took me years to get over the worst of these feelings. They would come upon me whenever I was stressed out about things that were happening in my life. I just needed a support figure I guess, and I didn't have one. I learned to stand on my own two feet and fight my own battles, but I've always felt cheated out of something that should have been my right. \n\nI don't know what the answer is for you, but you could do what my brother who was in the same boat did. He surrounded himself with male friends. He belonged to ball teams, he went bowling with the guys, he did a lot of fishing and camping and other male oriented things. He had friends in every age bracket and each one filled a different need for him. He spent a few years in the Yukon, working in the mining industry and there were times he never saw a female for weeks at a time. Lord did he appreciate them when he did! He was a handsome dude, my bro and never had any problems getting a girl. He always worked at jobs that were basically male oriented. Construction, road crews, mining, logging, etc. Think about these things and see if anything catches your interest. \n\nI agree that you should involve yourself more with your church and join some of the men's groups. Prayer groups are not just about sitting around reading the Bible. You would be surprised at what comes up for discussion! You could share your feelings and ask them to pray with you about it. Once they know where your heart is, they might involve you more in the activities that men enjoy. Either way I believe that you need to spend more time with the guys. \n\nYou were probably surrounded with females all your growing up years. My brother was and so was I now that I think about it. He had two sisters and a single mom (she divorced my stepdad when we were both in our early teens). There were no uncles or cousins to hang out with since all our relatives lived hundreds of miles away. My mom worked too hard raising her kids to have much of a social life. She never remarried.\n\nI hope some of this has helped you to understand that you are not alone in your feelings of wanting some of that "Dad stuff" for yourself. I hope you find a good way to work this out. I will be praying that you do. You will often come to my mind because I could have written that question almost word for word when I was your age, only changing the gender.\n\nGod bless and keep you.


Ok. The woman told me that there was a warrant out for my arrest for credit card fraud. But, I have no knowledge of it. So what will happen if I go to the police department to inquire about these charges will they keep me.

OK, first off, who is this woman? Now the easiest way is to go to the court house and inquire there. If you go to the police station, and there is a warrant they will arrest you.  So I wouldn't go at night. You might find yourself in jail overnight. So go in the morning and make sure it is a weekday. Make sure someone (family) knows your going to court as if there is a warrant and they hold you at least they may be able to get money for your bail. Good Luck.


if u think we just die and thats it. r u ever scared of dying and u want want to change faith?

Atheism just means you don't believe in god. It doesn't mean you are a strict materialist (only believing in the material world). That is something else. People are forever confusing the two. So an atheist could believe in life after death. And a person could believe in god & still think after death there is nothing.\n\nNow that we've cleared that up, anyone who says they have no fear of death probably is too far away from it to be able to comprehend what it means. If you didn't fear death you wouldn't fear anything else either - including ridicule, losing a boyfriend, not getting a date to the prom & all the things people worry about.\n\nAs for me, I don't believe in god & I don't know what happens after death. I guess I'll find out. Yes it's scary because it's the unknown. But I can't make myself believe in a pleasant fairytale that just doesn't make sense to me. I have to live with how I am.

My only comment would be about the external hard drive - USB. I don't think the tranfer rate would be fast enough to play a game on if that is what you intend to do with it.\nALso, is the 512 memory in addition to what you have, or is that it. 512 would not be ideal for a high requirement game, you would need at least 1GB.
