I have a friend who has fmla through her job and misses work consistently due to diabetes which is why the fmla was approved.  Can her employer analyze her and have her resubmitt fmla paperwork again stating that the absences are inconsistent with what her fmla was approved for?

As long as her absences are for legitimate reasons associated with her diabetes, there should not be a problem yet the employer walking a fine line to discrimination.  They have a right to ask for supporting documentation to support that the absence was due to her illness (doctors appointments, treatment, Dr. recommended rest/time off), as long as they are consistent with their treatment of their employees.  Is it standard practice for this employer to analyze ALL employees on a FMLA?  If so, there is nothing your friend can do put keep good records/documentation.  \n\nIf your friend feels she is being singled out and harassed and treated differently from other co-workers, plus the practice of reevaluating the approved FMLA is not standard practice for the company - she might want to seek legal advice.  Another option is for her to tell her employer to go F-themselves and to look for an employer that treats her with more respect.


he was a famous composer, if you know anything, or even where i can go, besides google, then please tell me!

During his education at the School of Jurisprudence, he was infatuated with a (female) soprano, but she married another man. One of his conservatory students, Antonina Milyukova, began writing him passionate letters around the time that he had made up his mind to "marry whoever will have me." He did not even remember her from his classes, but her letters were very persistent, and he hastily married her on July 18, 1877. Within days, while still on their honeymoon, he deeply regretted his decision. Two weeks after the wedding the composer attempted suicide by wading in a cold river. He later fled to Saint Petersburg a nervous wreck, and was separated from his wife after only six weeks. The couple never saw each other again. Antonina Milyukova died in a mental institution in 1917. They remained legally married until his death.\n\nThe composer's homosexuality has long been generally accepted, as well as its importance to his music. His relationships have been documented by historians such as Rictor Norton, Alexander Poznansky and others.\n\nA far more influential woman in Tchaikovsky's life was a wealthy widow, Nadezhda von Meck, with whom he exchanged 1,200 letters between 1877 and 1890. At her insistence they never met; they did encounter each other on two occasions, purely by chance, but did not converse. As well as financial support in the amount of 6,000 rubles a year, she expressed interest in his musical career and admiration for his music. However, after 14 years she ended the relationship unexpectedly, claiming bankruptcy. It was during this period that Tchaikovsky achieved success throughout Europe and (by his own account), in 1891, even greater accolades in the United States. In fact, he was the conductor, on May 5th, 1891, at the official opening night of Carnegie Hall.\n\nMeck's claim of financial ruin is disregarded by some who believe that she ended her patronage of Tchaikovsky because she supposedly discovered the composer's homosexuality. It is possible she was planning to marry off one of her daughters to Tchaikovsky, as she also supposedly tried to marry one of them to Claude Debussy, who had lived in Russia for a time as music teacher to her family. Also, one of her sons, Nikolay, was married to Tchaikovsky's niece Anna Davydova.\n\nTchaikovsky's life, largely exaggerated and fictionalized, is the subject of Ken Russell's motion picture The Music Lovers. Two other motion pictures were based on his life - the low-budgeted, sanitized and highly fictionalized Song of My Heart, released in 1948, and the 1969 Russian-language "Tchaikovsky" , which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. His last name derives from the word chaika (чайка), meaning seagull in a number of Slavic languages. His family origins may not have been entirely Russian. In an early letter to Nadezhda von Meck, Tchaikovsky wrote that his name was Polish and his ancestors were "probably Polish."


Or, should I say my husbands problems?  I just found out after being married to him for 14 years that I don't know him at all.  Sure, he has always had a drinking problem, which lately has turned into more of a problem, and more beer.  But I just found out for the last year and a half he has been using cocaine. He swears he can quit, which is why he told me.  He says I am his anchor and he needs me, but where is my anchor? I had a hard enough time dealing with the alcohol. I mean he's not violent, but he picks nights that he just doensn't come home. He tells me also that it is my fault.  I work full time. I leave home at 6:30 and get home between 6 and 7 every weeknight,  then its pick up my daugters, cook dinner, clean, wash clothes, homework, attention for them, and where is my time? He is angry because I don't "do enough"around the house during the week and don't give him enough attention.  Am I wrong? Im trying with everything in me.

Sweetheart, I went through years of hell with a man just like that; I stayed for my kids, and threw my life away.  I waited till the youngest was 15, then left.  My kids ALL said "what the hell took you so long- why didnt you leave him years ago", and when I said I had stayed for them, they called me all kinds of stupid, because they had been really unhappy and ashamed because everyone knew their father was a lush. I am 65 now, and just getting my life back.  What you have there is a self-centred, cold, thoughtless bastard who doesnt give a damn about you or the kids, hon, or he wouldnt treat you like a walking paypacket/ servant.  If you gave up your job and stayed at home what would he call you when he couldn't afford his drink and drugs?? YOU HAVE A LIFE; he has ruined his, dont let him ruin your OR your kids Get out of there girl; wheres YOUR anchor- he thinks its in your head, doesnt he? What this guy needs is an anchor tied round his neck and a swimming lesson.  Be brave; the first step is the hardest, but you can do this; do it for your kids, and do it for YOU.  God bless and keep you, and good luck in the great future you have waiting for you.


1. 10:15 Saturday night by THE CURE\n\nAnd I'm sitting\nIn the kitchen sink\nAnd the tap drips\nDrip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip\n\n\n2. Fascination Street ~ The Cure. What is this song talking about?\n\n3. "Hungry Like The Wolf" DURAN DURAN  \n\n Mouth is alive with juices like wine

For the first one, considering the 4 lines you put, either he is really bored, or he is tensed. Anyway, there's something really wrong (otherwise, he wouldn't notice the "drip".\n\nPS: you should have put a link to the lyrics\n\nI checked the lyrics for n°1: he's waiting for his former girlfriend's phone call. Apparently, he is going to wait a long time! I'm not sure if it always happens to him, or if it always happens with that girlfriend in particular.\n\nn°3: sex. Wine makes you exhilarated. Plus, it was the drink that the Romans and the Greeks drunk at their orgies. So it gives the idea of lust. basically, he is dribbling with desire! But it sounds much better the way he put it!\n\nI'm not sure about n°2. He might be talking about drugs and he wants to take his girlfriend with him because their relationship is not working anymore. Or he just wants to go out and have fun so that not to hear her yell at him.


i heard that the doctors where putting up a strike for this .

reservation-- to reserve.. the backward classes were given priority by the government because they were exploited during the eary days. it was used for the upliftment of these classes. seats were given in educational institutions and even for jobs in government sector.\n\nthe present generation feels that the period was enough for upliftment of these classes and should no more be biased on the selection. there should be no division on colour or caste..


Suboxone is used to help the withdrawls when kicking opiate dependancy.

A properly administered drug test allows you to disclose any medication you are on.  So if any levels are off, the test will calibrate for the difference.  Typically, modern drug tests do not test for the drug but for what your body turns the drug into (metabolites).  If you disclose the Suboxone, you should not have any problem. You can also call the drug maker and they would be able to tell you.


i'm 24 and just found out i'm pregnant although i've been with my boyfriend for years he's made it clear he wants no more kids (we have a 4 year old) what do i do? will this change his mind?

If he really loves you, yes.\nJust tell him.\nHonesty is the best policy.\n:-)


my husband and i are trying to start a church and we are looking for a church property to rent or but so we can serve tha lord


d cristi james alina who i practicly hate are her feinds should i be her feind i am sssssoooooooooo depressed and i like benny but he always flitter around with girls should i still like him plse answe both question

What if you tried to get along with her friends? You dont have to like them or even care about them. Just be nice. If you want to be Ioana's friend then you should. You won't always make friends with everyone, but having an open heart and an open mind is the best strategy. Never treat anyone with hate, even if they hurt you or you dont like them. Its better for you in the long run. Never let a man get between you and your friends. Dont let jealosy rule your world. There are plenty of nice guys out there for you to be so obsessed about one guy who is probably a jerk anyway.

I learned about objectivism several years ago. Havn't read any of Ayan Rand's litterature yet, though. her books look really long and I struggle with reading (I usually skim or scan). so I don't know much specifically about the philosophy, just the basic points. It sounds interesting, but a lot of people make fun of it. Is it really a foolish philosophy, or is it just vulnerable for teasing?

Good question.  I have not studied objectivism at depth, but i did go to the site listed below to read a little about objectivism, which i recommend.\n\nMy thoughts:  Objectivism is severely flawed.  Metaphysics is giving a definition that leaves one with a question:  What is the difference between metaphysics and physics?  And this is one of the key components of Ayn Rand's theory.  The theory rules out that there can be anything supernatural.  That is flaw, even if it were true, because there is no sound way of drawing that conclusion.  How would we know?  If by natural we mean only those things which follow the rules of physics, well, without some sort of communication from that which is beyond those rules, it is strange to draw a conclusion.  Plus there is very good evidence that there had to be some reason beyond the physical world as we know it for its existence, which suggests one an intelligence and two something prior to the laws of physics.\n\nBeyond this point, man is self centered.  So there is no need to love other people, this system encourages love of self, selfishness, and claims that is the only thing possible.  Philosophers have talked about "self interest, properly understood" as interest in others, because we need them.  But there is also the possibility for altruism, and for love of others even to the point of sacrificing the good for ourselves.\n\nAyn Rand, according the site below, does claim that the greatest virtue is thinking or reason, and that choosing to think is our only free choice.  After that, or from that, everything else must be determined.  Hmmm.\n\nOur Greatest good is not our bodily being, but our rational being, according to Ayn Rand.  This is dualistic, separating the body from the person (we are both body and mind or soul). It makes the body nothing more than a tool.  It also suggest that man is more than the body, and that there is some part of him that continues apart from the body.  OK, but what happen to nothing supernatural?  In her point about metaphysics, there can be nothing supernatural.\n\nThe site is meant to be a skeleton, not itself an argument.  So keep reading, keep exploring.  But Ayn Rand's philosophy is filled with false assumptions, and many contradictions.  \n\nPeace be with you!


you talk with someone and you say one sentence,..they talk for 20 minutes..you say one sentence...they talk for 20 more minutes.......or..how bout this one...you say something..they did'nt hear a darn thing you said,their eyes were lookin somewhere else..and they totally change the subject to what they want to talk about......what about the ones that never shut up,..everything that hits their brain..they say it....it's like..SHUT! UP!...lol....bottom line...i tell them,don't talk tell every fourth thought.


a) Find an apartment. I have a deadline of June 1st.\nb) Pay off a large debt which is restricting access to my credit report.\nc) Enroll in community college. I've already been rejected enrollment from a University.\nd) Find a second part-time job.

Tough one. \n\nFind the apartment first, you can't do squat if you are homeless. If they require a credit check, you may have trouble.  \n\nThen get the second job. \n\nPay off the debt with whatever money you can get you hands on working two jobs. Or at least get it manageable. \n\nQuit the second job.\n\nEnroll.  Hopefully you can make it by September, if not, there is always spring sesmster. \n\nYou do not want the burden of the debt while you are in class.  It will just distract you.  And you certainly cannot attend classes if you are homeless.


I don't drink liquor ever, except about every 2-3 mo. when I am about to start my period. I don't want to do   it but for some reason I do and its like I turn into the devil!!! I can't remember a thing the next day and I hurt my family so much, I also could hurt myself, I've been lucky so far but I mafraid I might really hurt myself or someone else bad when this happens!! I don,t drink at all except when this happens and its only about every 3rd mo. right when I start my period, Im only 22yrs. old, never had any kids nor have I ever been married, I do have cramping right before I start my period, I've never taken any drugs and I know my family loves me very much. Im hoping someone can give me some advice as what to do?? Im really afraid of what I might do if this keeps happening, Please, Im desperate to get this taken care of!  Thankyou  N.V.C.

well it seems clear to me you need to stay away from alcohol ! Good luck ! if you're tempted - grab a friend to hang with and stay busy til the urge passes.


i M searching for ways to aviod a blizzard and i can find any can somebody give some ideas or some kind of LINK to a website


towards the end why did raplh lash out at the skull from the "lord of the flies?"\n\ntowards the end Why do you think the author had Ralph turn into a savage at the end of the novel? What comment might he be making about human nature?\n\nand why did ralph ccry at the end of the book?

OK, I read LOTF in 1980 but I think Ralph cried becuase he recognized his own failings as a "civilized" person.  He cried because he had turned savage and he felt he had failed himself and everyone else (especially Tubby).  He was especially bummed because he realized that he only needed to hold on to his civilized humanity a short while longer and he would have been rescued without shame.

What attracts you to a woman? What do you like about them?

You may find this hard to believe, but I pay a lot of attention to the sound of a woman's voice. If I am pleased by it, then that's a great start. If it grates on my nerves, then I am generally turned off. I am not saying this is the only thing I notice, but it is one of the first things I look for. Thanks.


Can any please describe the properties of static electricity.\n\nim having a hard time finding it and need help.

The presence of surface charge imbalance means that the objects will exhibit attractive or repulsive forces. This surface charge imbalance, which leads to static electricity, can be generated by touching two differing surfaces together and then separating them due to the phenomena of contact electrification and the triboelectric effect. Rubbing two non-conductive objects generates a great amount of static electricity. This is not just the result of friction; two non-conductive surfaces can become charged by just being placed one on top of the other. Since most surfaces have a rough texture, it takes longer to achieve charging through contact than through rubbing. Rubbing objects together increases amount of adhesive contact between the two surfaces. Usually insulators, i.e., substances that do not conduct electricity, are good at both generating, and holding, a surface charge. Some examples of these substances are rubber, plastic, glass, and pith. Conductive objects only rarely generate charge imbalance except, for example, when a metal surface is impacted by solid or liquid nonconductors. The charge that is transferred during contact electrification is stored on the surface of each object. Static electric generators, devices which produce very high voltage at very low current (such as the Van de Graaf generator or Wimshurst machine) and used for classroom physics demonstrations, rely on this effect. Note that the presence of electric current does not detract from the electrostatic forces nor from the sparking, from the corona discharge, or other phenomena. Both phenomena can exist simultaneously in the same system.


This has nothing to do with the other question I just asked... please believe that.

Yes, the mages guild has deemed it to be illegal, it has lost many members due to this, but I believe it's for the best...


they're in some sports drinks, like gatorade, but i don't know what they are or what they do for ur body.

An electrolyte is a liquid substance which acts as a medium to conduct electricity. One speaks of an electrolyte in a number of different contexts, the most common including health and fitness, and various electronics and automotive disciplines. An electrolyte is full of ions, which are atoms that have some sort of net electric charge, either positive or negative. A dilute electrolyte has a relatively small amount of ions for its volume, while a concentrated electrolyte has a high amount of ions.\n\nIn basic fuel cells, such as those used in automotive technology, an electrolyte acts as the liquid that allows ions to travel between the cathode and anode to keep the power-generating process underway, while keeping the reactive oxygen and hydrogen apart. In the type of fuel cell known as a proton exchange membrane cell, the electrolyte specifically moves protons (positively-charged hydrogen ions) to the cathode from the anode where they are produced, with the end result being the production of water and electricity.\n\nBatteries also employ an electrolyte of some sort, both to conduct electricity between the battery plates, and to store energy on the plates themselves. The electrolyte used in a battery depends on the battery's type and purpose. Most car batteries, for example, use an electrolyte which contains sulfuric acid, which is why they require careful handling. Alkaline batteries use an alkaline solution for their electrolyte. Lithium batteries use a special organic electrolyte which freezes at much lower temperatures than more traditional water-based electrolytes.\n\nIn human health, electrolytes aid in a number of vital bodily processes. Many heart and nerve functions, muscle control and coordination, and the body's ability to absorb fluids all depend on a healthy balance of electrolytes. The most common electrolytes found in the human body are sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride and calcium. Various hormones in the body help regulate intake of these electrolytes, and the kidneys filter electrolytes which reach excessive levels. Unhealthy levels of consumption of any or all of the body's necessary electrolytes can cause serious health issues. The most common imbalances are hyper- and hypo-natremia, or excessive and insufficient levels of sodium, and hyper- and hypo-kalemia, or excessive and insufficient levels of potassium.\n\nMany sports drinks contain added potassium and sodium to help restore the body's proper electrolyte balance after intense physical exertion. After exercising heavily, it can be dangerous to ingest large quantities of water, as it may dilute existing electrolyte levels and cause physical problems. Additionally, a number of electrolyte enhanced drinks exist specifically for children and may be helpful for regular use, particularly to restore electrolyte balance after sickness which has included vomiting or dihorrea

I am wanting to hear from all you ladies out there what is a way to really wow her and seal the get back together deal. We have been talking, but I want to go ahead and just go for it

Just be honest. Tell her how you feel and ask her how she feels.  Be sincere.\n\nI wish you the best of luck!


When I call her she usually tells me she does not want to see me and makes up some excuse why I can't come by and pick her up.  I usually get to see her once a month.  I want to see her every week but she thinks this is too much.  Should I just leave the state and live my own life or keep the lines of communication open and try to contact her even though it breaks my heart and depresses me when I am refused?

I wouldn't leave the state because, eventually, she will wise up and realize she needs and loves you.  That you are the only mother she has.  \n\nI would, however, not contact her (for 2 months).  I would want to know how long it would be before she missed me...but that is because I would be curious.  After 2 months, I would make contact again because I would never give up.  I am not recommending you do that...you need to decide for yourself what course of action you want to pursue.\n\nI'm sorry that your daughter is treating you like this.  You are obviously trying but she is just being obnoxious and rude.  Sounds like she is siding with her father over the separation and there is no way to know what he is telling her.  Just take it a day at a time and someday, she will wise up.


Ill-treatment of Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples dates back to the arrival of the first settlers in the "new world;" however, I'll just touch on some recent history, specifically the Indian Adoption Project. \n\nThe Indian Adoption Project operated between 1958 and 1967 under the auspices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, with support and funding from the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA). CWLA participation bestowed an air of legitimacy on the practice of removing Indian children from their families basically because the "white man knew better," and while adoptive placements under the Project itself were limited, it is estimated that more than one quarter of all Indian children were removed from their families and placed into white adoptive and foster homes or orphanages before the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. \n\nIn 2001, the CWLA Board of Directors passed a resolution expressing regret for that group's participation in the Indian Adoption Project,and for its failure

Horrible things were done both to Native Americans and Black people. Black people were kidnapped in the most horrible ways, separated from their land and family only to be treated like animals and be slaves. \nLike you said, Native Americans were treated horrible too. Not just by taking away their children. They were also killed by white people who came to the "New World". \nThis is not a competition. The pain and suffering that one group went through, does not belittle the pain and suffering the other group went through. Horrible things were done, and we should all be aware that horrible things are still being done all over the world to people, just because they belong to a certain ethnicity or religion. We should all practice tolerance. We should all do our best to make sure these kinds of things do not happen again.

I just saw a TV show on Stephen Hawkins and the information paradox controvercy but they didn't explain what the information was.  What is the 'information' in the 'information paradox' they were referring to.

The answers you got were good and should help you understand the idea, but to specifically answer your question, the 'information' in the information paradox is just the particular pattern of stuff inherent in the matter falling into the black hole:  The particular way the atoms are arranged, the speed they're moving, their direction, etc.  All these things are specific to the individual atoms falling into the black hole and are wiped away once it falls through the event horizon of such a hole.  This doesn't mean anybody's sending notes back and forth encrypted it chunks of stuff, in this case 'information'='pattern', and that's all, nothing more.\n\nP.S. HawkinG, not HawkinS


why do i keep asking questions about patrick swayze, and how come all my answers to other people's questions ends in patrick swayze, sometimes minus his pants, or others just him and me on a romantic date, sippin' some courvasier, oh patrick swayze, why do pleasantly haunt my every minute, oh why, can anyone out there relate, do you have a patrick swayze fetish also?? please help me out here, give me encouragement, tell me of all the times you undressed him in your mind as i have a countless amount, just share your patrick swayze intimate moments with me, i am here for you too, thank you and patrick swayze bless you (p.s. is patrick swayze undressing in your mind considered a fantasy sport, if not i think i have put this in the wrong category!)

Patrick swazey is an ass. His mom owns the dance studio that I used to do ballet at and he used to come in and stare at all the kids there.


I had a threatened miscarriage on May 10th. I had an ultrasound done and the baby was completely fine and my cervix was closed. I stopped bleeding and cramping. Well, a couple days later I started spotting a brown color. It is now May 23, and I am still spotting, but I seen a little bit of tissue come out when I urinated. \n\nThe night before I supposedly had a miscarriage, I had a dream and someone told me I was having twins. In the back of my mind I feel like I was pregnant, ovulated again, and then that second egg could not attach itself, so it was disposing itself. My doctor said that couldn't be a possibility, but I think it is. Am I the only one who has experienced this before. My baby in my womb is completely fine. But I am still having this brown spotting at 12 weeks pregnant.

It is completly possible!! I am not sure of the correct term for it but it happened to my sil.  She was pregnant with one child and later ovulated (althou it was able to attach) -- she later had 2 baby girls that were apart one month in development. Since you did miscarry the 2nd egg not to sound mean but it was for the best! I seen the 2nd smaller younger baby suffer for 3 years.  trust me it is nothing that I would wish on anyone.  Good luck with everything!

I don't think that it should be ignored,


Is a credit card necesarry for a soon to be college student? or is it best to just wait until i am financially sound to apply for a credit card or is one necesarry?

Consider this....\n\nThe huge portion of your credit score relates to the lengh of credit history.  If you were to get a credit card at 18, by the time you are 23 and ready to get a car, you will have established a very good credit score (assuming you used the card wisely and didn't make late payments).  \n\nMany people get denied a loan simply because they have no history at all.  \n\nGet a card with a low credit limit, use it to pay for thing you normally pay cash for, but BE SURE to pay the bill off!


This is perhaps the most profound question that I have read since being involved with ANSWERS! \n\nThe war on drugs has been a complete failure for the last 50 plus years and will continue to be, because people insist on using this stuff.\n\nI am not my brothers keeper when it comes to him wanting to destroy his life.  If he wants to live, he will finally make his way to rehab, but not before he decides that he's had enough!\n\nThe people who want to use this stuff, are already using it, and will use it no matter how many laws they have to break, in order to get it. \n\nThis is a product that should be treated the same way alcohol is treated, in our society.  If you are 21 or older, you have the right to indulge.  If you are driving, you don't have the right to indulge.  Neither do you have the right to indulge if you are going to work, or are in a physically uncontrollable state.  You cannot offer this substance to anyone under 21 years of age.  You cannot carry a weapon while under the influence. etc. etc.\n\nIt is my belief that those people who do not indulge in drugs, will not, even if it becomes legal.  That the number of users will not dramatically rise as a result of drugs becoming legal. \n\nWhat will occur from the legalization of drugs is a hugh deflation in the cost of trying to control illegal drugs. A hugh reduction in the number of deaths due to turf wars and tainted product out on the streets.\n\nI visualize a tax and revenue producing industry,due to the legal sale of drugs from certified pharmacies.\n\nDrugs and alcohol have been a scurge of our society as well as most societies around the globe, and will continue to be whether drugs are legal or illegal.\n\nWe have tried it the conservative way for generations, and it hasn't worked!  Perhaps it is time to try another method.  Hell, we could always reverse this decision if we see that we are wrong.  But if we're not wrong, think of all the money that will be saved, all the lives not lost, and perhaps even, the reduction in users because the challenge is gone.


Do you think he can hang with the other Mc's out there; Underground or Mainstream?

I don't even consider rap a valid music genre.\n\nSo...no.


A: They are very gifted people who train hard.\n\nB: There might be something to it, I'm not sure.\n\nC: The whole ting is just a big 'crock'\n\nAnswer A,B or C.\n\nI would like a decent debate if that is possible

I think there are very few honest mediums.  But I'm not prepared to say there are none.  I believe in the human soul, and so I believe it is at least theoretically possible for a person to be in contact across the barrier between life and death.  \n\nI must admit, though, that I expected to have stronger evidence for my theories when Steve died.  I figured he'd come tell me what it was like.  All I've gotten so far is a specific local spot where I feel the contact is centered.  I may have it tattooed.  It's in the upper part of my left breast, parallel with the aquamarine stone that hangs on the chain I wear all the time (except in the shower), which Steve gave me soon after we met over 20 years ago.  \n\nBut then Steve committed suicide, so he may not have the necessary serenity to make such a contact.  I hope he knows I have forgiven him.  Maybe he'll get in touch more obviously someday.  I'm sure not prepared to spend money for a medium to make the contact, though.


Does anyone know the URL to Cold (but I'm Still Here) by Evans Blue?


this is possible to figure out.  What it is a combination of numbers   i will do examples to keep it simple.   If your number was 00  or 000  then the answer was 9.  well its a pattern    if your number is 001 then the answer he came up with was 8.  well then if you had 002  then it was 7.  but also on the note if your number was 011 or some combination of this number then it was 8 also  because when you take 011 and add 0+1+1 you get 2 so it was 8.   the way it works is the numbers you type in it adds them together so there is a correlating number that goes with the answer that was added together.  so... if the numer added together was 0 then it was 9.  and the number added together was 1 then he came up with 8.  added together you got 2 then he said 7.  and just keep going ... 3 is 6,   4 is 5.    also on the same account    5 is 4,  6 is 3,   7 is 2,   8 is 1,  and 9 is 0.


Im trying to get my song out for my band. we stil are looking for a new name.

I downloaded an add-on that could convert web pages to pdf but I'm using a diiferent PC now and can't remember where I got that feature from. Does anyone know?\n\nIt was in my IE7 but I can't recall if it was in the IE browser or one of my Toolbars. I use the Yahoo Toolbar as well as Google but because I was testing out new versions as well as the IE7 beta and still getting used to them, I don't know where that pdf icon was. I think it was on the IE7 browser, though. It's not available on my Firefox. \n\nIt's so convenient as I can simply click on the button in the toolbar to convert the page I'm viewing to a pdf file. Everything else I've tried involves more steps whilst this FREE add-on did it in one click. I'm really mad at myself for not noting down where I found it and can't check my other PC as it's in a different country!

I use Adobe Acrobat Professional to convert web page from IE to pdf. But that is not free. I also use Firefox but I got no software to convert web page from Firefox to pdf. \n\n\n\n\n\n--- ► λ ◄


It's black and made out of slate (i think)  It looks like an arrow but looks as thought it could also be used as a skinning tool.  It is about 12" long and found it in a strea in Wisconsin.  I've had it over a year and I think I really have something but don't know who to trust or where to go with it.

take a photo and show it to the anthropology department of a museum or university


I have been trying to figure it out but I couldn't. The stats are the things that sort the players.

You're better off going w/in your league...clicking on players and the toggling with the drop down menus, you can select a certain position you're looking for, along with if you want to look at the whole season, last month, or last week.  After you do that, then you can click on avg, or hr's, or sb's etc to see who has the most in the lg.  You can do this for avail players or players already taken.  Hope this helps.


is that because cuba may have nuclear wepons pointing to us

Cuba stopped invading other countries when the USSR ran out of money.  Since they are no longer a threat to anybody but themselves, there's no point invading them.


It really sucks. I just don't know if I'm in love with my girlfriend, but I care about her alot. This is my first serious relationship...I just...I want something else. And I don't have the heart to tell her. What do I do?

You say you care about your girlfriend. Cheating is not the action of a caring man. If you want something/someone else then first split with your girlfriend.\nTell her that you want something different ... Honesty is the best (and kindest) policy.


I've been living in Europe for the past couple of months and Their diets differ very much from back home! In the beginning I did eat alot of junky food but lately I've been keeping a balanced diet. I gained 4kilos since I've been here and would seriously like to start shedding the pounds! Any Reccomendations or explanations?

Diet and excersise. Use fresh fruit/vegetables, chicken or turkey or fish(not friend, duh)\n\n... Just don't drink Diet sodas/gatorade. Aspartame, the sweetener also in equal and NutraSweet releases poison in the body and can cause horrible pain and blood in the stool for early users and brain cancer for long-term users. Look it up on wikipedia.


I have been in business for almost one year.  I have a small store where I sell home accessories and I also have interior design business.  Both are not doing well.  I'm out of money however really want to make this business work.  Any suggestion?

A friend of mine had an idea that worked for her. She offered a free one room "re-design" party. The basic concept was that she would re-design one room in your house using only stuff you have around your house. She would take out all the furniture and start from scratch. She would go all over your house picking out items that would look great in the re-design. And then she would put the room back together using stuff you already owned.\n\nShe made it into a party by having me send out invitations to friends of mine (sort of like the candle, pampered chef, etc parties). They came sometime in the morning (between 8 and 9 AM) for just a few minutes to see the "before" of the room (my living room) being redesigned. Then they would go on their way (or they could come the night before if it suited them better). My friend set a certain time for her to be done and my friends came back at any time between 5 and 6 to see my redesigned living room and have some refreshments. It was open house style - they didn't have to stay very long it they couldn't. It generated some business for her - I know my MIL and at least a couple of my friends hired her for their homes after seeing how she redesigned my living room.\n\nFor my friend, at least, it was a great way for her to get her name out there to lots of different people with very little expense (I think the most expense was creating the invitations). I mailed the invites and handled the refreshments. She did all the work - had her hubby help with the heavy lifting stuff.\n\nShe also teamed up with the local newspaper to do a local version of "trading spaces" where she did the interior design of both places.


I'll be sad when the show ends next week.  It was getting a little burnt out but I watched it faithfully.

I have gotten out of past engagements just so I could see the last episodes.


First, I think that money would be better spent on charitable causes, then I think it would be better to actually focus on activities for future colonization.

Life is just a small part of the space exploration program. The earth will not survive forever. At some point we must find a way out of here. We also have benefitted greatly in the field of drugs alone. New drugs to prevent and cure diseases have been produced already in zero G that could have never been developed down here. New alloys can be developed up there that were never possible before. The list goes on...


In Sidney, Nebraska, a judge sentenced a 5 foot 1 man to 10 years probation instead of jail time for sexually assaulting a child. The reason he made the judgment was because he felt the man was too small to survive in prison.

If they had passed Jessica's Law in Nebraska, we wouldn't have judges legislating from the bench! The judge's decision was flat out wrong! To show more compassion to the perpetrator than he does for the victim? \n\nAnd by the way, since when does our sentencing need to include reform for the guilty? Was it at some point switched from being a penalty to aid?

I recently married last year.  I have a job where I have been employed for over 10 years.  I have a retirement plan, 401k, and life insurance through this job.  Is my husband entitled to half of this since we are married?  The reason I am asking is that, I have a child from a previous relationship who is 100% beneficiary.

Not likely....you were only married for a year and you came into the marraige with these things.  Get a good lawyer and you should be fine.  Find a flat rate divorce attorney....it will cost you more up front, (and possible  a little more in the end) but you won't get nickel and dimed with every phone call, email, and paper that needs written/filed.  Good luck....and it really does gt better!


but i do not use any other puter or device how can i make it go away and make my messenger work???????????PLEASE HELP!!!!

is there a description of those additional areas that are represented in congess, and why do they have representation?

US states have members of the House of Representatives.  US territories and other areas such as protectorate (Puerto Rico) has representatives that are non-voting members.  There purpose is to provide a communication from their terroritories to the House.


John Patrick "Jack" Murtha, Jr.  is an American politician ( Congressman)  who stated this morning on CNN that American troops killed innocent civilians in Iraq last Nov 05. If this is true we should hang our head in crying shame. Has this been confirmed?

On November 17, 2005, Murtha called for the immediate redeployment of U.S. troops in Iraq, saying, "The U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It is time to bring them home." Republicans called him a coward and played politics by putting "immediate withdrawal" up for a vote. Only 3 people had the guts to vote for it, McKinney, Serrano, and Wexler.\n\nEvery war has "collateral damage". If the war is justified, the civilian deaths are justified. The problem is that the war is not justified. We are not there to find WMD. We are not there beacuse Saddam was involved in 9/11. It is not a war, it is a police action and a nation building exercise. As such, civilian deaths are not justified.\n\nEdit: Murtha is a whackjob? Show some respect for our military. Murtha was a Marine. He received the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for valor in combat, two Purple Hearts, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and the American Spirit Honor Medal. He fought in Korea and volunteered for service in Viet Nam. He served in the military for 28 years. What have you done?


is there any organizations that help fathers? my fiance has a little boy that he adores. he wants to take care of him, even have custody of him. the mother has had children services called on her many times. but the mother has custody and is on welfare. (by the way...i am not against people getting help) they take so much money out of his paycheck to pay the state so she can be on welfare. she lives with her boyfriend in this nice house for free (she told us)and he is paying for it. he is also requiered to have insurance on him while she gets it for free. he is not trying to get out of paying. he just wants it to be fair

There are a bunch of organization that can help you.\ntry the links at Fathers' rights links on:\n\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_rights#United_States_of_America

Do you agree that 18 months probation is too harsh for driving while license revoked/suspended?

No. depends on how bad your driving record is.  Obviously, you probably had multiple tickets & hadn't paid them.

Televised Football game was running late, "Heidi" was supposed to start; they started the movie, and a late score changed the outcome of the game -- lots of mad viewers!  "Heidi rule" meant that they stayed with the game until it was over, and pushed other shows back.

I have a Nokia camera phone and would like to upload pictures from my cell phone onto my computer but I'm not sure how.  What cords do I need and how do I do it?  Thanks.

You have two options. You can e-mail the photos to your home e-mail adress if your phone suports it, or you can buy the transfer cable made for your phone. Try looking in stores that sell the phone, and if you can't find it, you can always order one on-line.

Go to a large church, fool. Most of them have Bible study groups. That way no one can lie about their age or weight and you know they live in the area.\n\nIt is easy to lie on the Internet. I'm Bill Gates in disguise, for instance.

Well... hospitality employees need to be able to perform Research, Analysis, and Statistics well. There are times when computations are done in connection to the days assignment, and you are left wondering, which test statistic should I have used. \n\nI am a hotel manager (hospitality) and I use a lot of real world equations, statistic analysis performing with the F distribution, two-tailed hypothesis, etc. I have the most difficulty with the Chi-squared analysis on some reports in the business. \n\nBesides the researching and mandatory computer computation skills... there is really not much technical skill needed.


I bet the loved ones of the dead service members now say the war is not worth it. Think about this. Iraq did not do 9-11 so why are we there? North Korea has a terrible dictator so why aren't we there? Look at Africa. That's a mess. Let's send troops there.

I completely agree, we are fighting this war for all the wrong reasons and there has been far to much bloodshed of innocent people on both sides.


Don't know of any 3 year colleges.   There are two year, (for associates degree), and 4 year.


Question:\n\nThe person you are engaged or married too, how did you know this person was the "one"? I mean did you know before you even dated them? Was it a feeling inside??

Yes, I knew the minute I first saw him and before he even knew my name... our eyes locked and I told my college friends that he was the one I was going to marry... it was a feeling that I had never had before with a guy.


England's NOT a one man team and they have the BEST midfield in the World. I think they have a pretty Good chance in the world cup.

After producing several slideshows for family, I am considering trying to provide the service to the public.  This involves putting a client's photos and/or film clips onto a "power point" like slideshow, and adding background music.  The slideshow would then be put in DVD format.  Is there a problem with the music's copyright or licensing laws in adding the background music?  I am confused since each slideshow would be a custom made product, not mass produced for the general public.  Also the music is just to compliment the product, not the focus of the product.  \nAlso, in the same way, there may be times I would like to add graphics, or clip art type media.

You need permission from the copyright holder.  Even if you are not selling the DVDs, you are using the music for business purposes, to make money, so it is illegal to use it without permission.


I tried copy & paste of file 'dbgrid32.ocx'. But it gives a massage telling something wrong with registration when I attepted to use a databound grid control on a form

Well, assuming that is the correct file, you need to make sure it is registered.  You should have dropped the ocx file into the %system%\system32 directory.  \n\nShell out do a command prompt and type the following:\n\nregsvr32 dbgrid32.ocx\n\nThat should register the control.  If you've then selected to include it (use the project references to do this), you should be able to drop it in.


This is kind of a follow up to the question I asked about who would vote for Al Gore.There def aren't any good Republicans to vote for and the Democrats have slim pickings right now too.I like Hilary,John Edwards,and Al Gore but want to see new ideas put forward.A third-party canidate with sane,fresh ideas would be great but do they stand a chance in national politics?

A Vote for a Democrat\nis a Vote for a Republican\nwhich is a Vote for a Democrat\nwhich is the same as a Republican\n\nThey are one and the same.\n\nThey have proven it for decades now.\n\nI voted Republican because the Democrats REFUSED to put forth a platform.\nThey were much to vague. \n\nI will not lean toward voting Republican this time\nbut there are some good republicans.\n\nThe Democrats Expect me to vote Democrat\nand have the audacity  to think I will \nvote their way simply because "we aint the other guy".\n\nI am no fool.\nThose who would vote in that manner I do not respect.\n\nA Third Party?\nThere are many. But the point is this. \nThe Libertarians Platform reads as though they are Democrats in disguise.\nRead their Webpage....See how they say "we aint the other guys".\nBut there may be some good people in the Libertarian Party.\n\nThe Constitution Party is too far Right.\nThe Parties that play to your enviromentalist side are too far Left.\nBut there may be some good people in the Constitution Party.\n\nAs for all the other fringe Parties...they play to a particular group also.\nBUT THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE.\n\nWhich brings to a point.... WHY do we even Need a Party?\nWhy can't we simply vote the candidate?\n\nBut with things in place the way they are now, \nHERE is what needs to be done:\n\nExisting restrictions that remove Voices from the Debate Stage need to be forcibly removed. Forced by the voter.\nWhat do I mean?\nThe fact that you only have 2 freaking choices and both of them are worthless bastids.\nI want Every Candidate that shows minimal support from around the country, to be in my face right up to election day.\nI won't stand much longer for being told that these two candidates (the Dem or Repub) are the best America has to offer.\n\nIn fact: Simply calling them a Third Party Candidate limits the weight you put on their stance.\n\nAlso, believing that crap our 2 parties spew, \nthat a Vote for a Third Party candidate is a vote for the other party (dem or repub) \nis a Lie.\nYOUR VOTE is not wasted.\n\nYou showing support for ANY Candidate is support for That Candidate!\n\nWe also need to get rid of this Electoral College disease.\nDo you know, that the Electoral College representative is NOT REQUIRED to vote the way the state votes?\nHe hasn't, but can change his vote to the candidate NOT supported by the majority of voters in your state.\n\nDrokk, that is crapola!\n\nThe lie that the electoral college is best for america is proven in the fact that it does not represent OneMan=OneVote.\n\nWhat it directly does, is take away the demands for a candidate/s to travel to every state.\nThey can stay in California,NY,Michigan,Ohio etcetera and go for the big electoral college states.\n\nOne man = one vote? NO, Your state has 3 electoral college votes? It is swamped and owned by NY or Another who can offer a 20+ electoral college prize.\n\nGET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.\nOne Man, One Vote. That is what will always work. Quit believing the lies.\n\nWhat else can be done?\nVote these other parties in at the local level.\nStart there. \nGive the Law Party/Libertarian  Party/Constitution Party etcetera, \na chance to prove their mettle with decisions that Directly affect you. \nALSO by voting them in at a local level, you can keep a better eye on them \nand have more influence on the development of their national platforms.\n\nOur 2 Party System must be destroyed. \nThe stranglehold they have on your vote is bought and sold by both parties \nin the very halls of congress where laws are created.\n\nTake back America is not a waste of words.\nPatriotism starts with awareness \nand a willingness to not be bought \nwhile fighting for what is right.\n\nIf you elect someone who says "change is needed, I am for change"...WHAT CHANGE? \nand if he is bold enough to say what he wants to affect,\nHold Him to It.\n\nEnough. is Enough. I am with you Drokk.

Dont know if anyone heard about this, but yesterday some extremist Americans actually bombed the British Embassy in New York and there was an evacuation in Washington DC for the same thing in the British Embassy there.\n\nThis was revenge for making the US National Anthem into Spanish. Now in my opinion, is killing people over a song (an obviously extremely patriotic one) worth it?\n\nIt seems some people need a good long look at themselves.

What do the British have to do with the National Anthem in Spanish? I'm so confused.


What if you can't stop for more than 6 months, and then they just keep getting deeper and deeper. When a cutter finds a cutting partner - for example a girlfriend, or boyfriend if you're a girl - where will it lead? If a cutter starts taking cutting tools to bed with them, is that your mind trying to warn you of something? I know someone who takes a 440 stainless steel, oxidized, razor sharp curved blade with heavy metal handle to bed and wakes up with a new strawberry\n gash everytime. A very recent development.

Try stopping on your own.. if you cant.. than the only other option you have is to get help..\n\nIm going through the same thing.. and i intend to get help soon..\n\nif you need someone to talk to..\nemail me..\n\n\nLexie:\nlexie_girl2009@yahoo.com

oh i'm straight - this question is for my bestfriend who is gay (guy) who is in love with a foreigner.

I don't think it's fair but the US doesn't want the gay image and when someone sponsor another (gay) person it just shows that some ameircans are gay and bush is anti-gay.

------------------------------... Germany is home to millions of immigrants, 3 million of whom are Muslim. The majority were invited to the country as gastarbeiters, or guest workers, mainly from Turkey. Faced with a labor shortage in the 1950s, and 60s, then-West Germany encouraged foreigners to fill positions in factories and in construction.\n\n“The Germans recruited untrained and uneducated people,” said Steffen Angenendt of the German Council on Foreign Relations. “It didn’t seem necessary to have academics come to Germany to work on an assembly line. They were trained on the job.”\n\nGiven temporary visas, the Germans expected the workers to come, make money and then head home. \n\nWhat the government didn’t count on was the employers’ reluctance to let trained workers leave. So the men stayed and then brought their families — along with their traditions, religion and culture.\n\nThe immigrants settled together and neighborhoods slowly began to reflect their new inhabitants. Signs were hung in Turkish, supermarkets sold Turkish products and stands selling kebabs — a traditional meal in a sandwich similar to a gyro — popped up in nearly every German city. \n\n“They came in the sexual revolution and they saw the communes — men, women and children living together. It was a shock for these people, so of course, they put up borders,” said Seyran Ates, a lawyer who works with immigrant women. “It was automatic. They felt, they don’t want us here, and on the other side, we don’t want to be like them; they are immoral,” Ates said.------\n\nAs German industry changed and the need for more qualified workers rose, the jobs filled by many of these laborers disappeared, leading to widespread unemployment.\n\n“The discussion on integration problems you have today is to a large extent a result of this immigration,” said Angenendt, who was part of a committee which suggested future immigration policies for the government. “These workers had no ability to adjust to the labor market.”\n\nAlthough there were efforts at the city and state level to assist in integration, little effort was made on a federal level -- an oversight that has ramifications even today. Language has proved to be one of the bigger challenges. Many immigrants and their families don’t speak German, which makes it more difficult for them to find work.\n\n“Integration never really started,” said well-known actor Mehmet Kurtulus, who came with his parents as a baby to Germany from a small town in Turkey. “The Germans missed the point that workers are people with families.”\n\nThis is especially obvious in the German school system, in which even second-generation children perform significantly worse than their native-born counterparts, according to a report by the international Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. \n\nEven more notable is the finding that immigrant students of Turkish origin perform worse in Germany than in Switzerland, which also hosted a guest worker program in the 1950s and 60s. In addition, the schools which immigrants attend are overwhelmingly homogeneous, leaving little room for students to build relationships with native-born children, according to the report.\n------Sound a little familiar?????

How do I install a sound device to make my speakers work on my computer?

If you have xp you should be able to plug and play.  Go to your control panel and click on sound and audio devices. Go to speaker settings advanced and make sure you have everything set up correctly.  If not set it up on the right devices and restart computer.  If this doesnt work you might want to make sure you have actual hardware on your computer like a sbwave sound device.  Youcan check this by going into sound devices and clicking on the hardware tab.

what are the finer points of being female?

Yes, I like being a woman but it's a lot more difficult than being a man.  No offense, but we're a lot smarter than men...but we have so many more responsibilities.  And we have to deal with the emotional aspect of everything as well.  But we're better at maintaining relationships and making people happy, and we're very good at multi-tasking.  I'm definitely no feminist, though, so I love being pampered by a man.  I still love having the door held open for me, that sort of thing.


I am disabled and cannot afford to continue the rent at this current rate.. I can cancel my lease for a $1000 but I can afford that. Is there any route I can take.

I don't' have an answer but I do have a source for you to search it. Go here:\n\nhttp://www.dca.ca.gov/legal/landlordbook\n\nAll of the laws are there in regards to this. Scroll down on the page and an on-line handbook is available. Good luck.

Results have been presented yesterday, Wednesday, in a press conference held in the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Speakers included Prof. Hannoun, Emeritus Professor at the Pasteur Institute and Dr. Mumcuoglu, developer of Sambucol®. \n\nLaboratory trials held in a leading research institute, Retroscreen Virology \nLtd, associated with the University of London found Sambucol® to be at least \n99% effective against the Avian Flu virus H5N1. Sambucol® was effective at \nsignificantly neutralising the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures. These \nresults will also be presented during the International Conference on Bird Flu: \n“The First Pandemic of the 21st Century. A Central Role for Antivirals”, to be \nheld at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on January 19th-20th 2006. \n\nDr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, is looking into further investigations into the \nactivity of Sambucol® against Avian Flu on a wider scale. \n\nIn an earlier study (1995) Sambucol® was found to be effective against a wide range of influenza strains. Laboratory studies conducted at the Hebrew \nUniversity – Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem demonstrated the activity \nof Sambucol® against human, swine, and avian influenza strains. \nSambucol®'s efficacy was also demonstrated in two double blind, placebo \ncontrolled clinical studies. Sambucol® was shown to cut the duration and \nseverity of the common flu by up to half. \n\nENDS \n\nNotes to editors; \nSambucol® is based on an active substance isolated from the black elderberry. \nManufactured by Razei Bar Industries Israel, Sambucol® is available in 17 \ncountries and in the UK is sold in Tesco, leading chemists, independent health \nfood stores and wholesalers from £8.49. \n\nFor photography please visit the following site and enter the log in details: \nFTP address: ftp://pixelit.co.il \nuser name: ftp_razeibar \npassword: 63+84675 \n\n\nFor further press information please contact: Francesca Gaffey/Cheryl Davies, \nCommunique Public Relations, Waterside, No2 Canal Street, Manchester, M1 \n3HE.

I have a band called Ice on Fire. We have been together for about 2 years. Pretty soon we want to start working towards making a career out of our passion, but we kind of need a little bit of help figuring out where to start and what to do. We need all the info we can get.

It really depends on what stage of music you are in. If you have a product. Record/CD or a single, you can start shopping it now. You have to find your "something" special. An agent or PR person can help you with that, if you are having a hard time finding your nitch. Once you get a sample, you should shop it to local college stations, etc. Colleges are the best route for a band starting out.  Good luck to you!

Probably many more--just by word of mouth. I do not understand your use of facism--are you talking about your question??


people say that aristotle commented on it and some man found the diameter but i want to know the man who is famous for discovering it, the one that did the journey round, when his people thought he was crazy and then he found that he didnt fall off the edge of the earth but went right round. who was that?

you are rght about aristotle as it was Pythagoras (you know the theorem) 570 BC who hypothesised the curvature of the earth and the heavenly bodies,later the most notable writers on the positioning and behaviour of the planets were copernicus, gallaleio, kepler and newton

whilst watching the match at the local,u couldnt help but notice how quiet all the liverpool fans were the only time they made a noise was when there northern scum team scored,made me understand that song 'you only sing when your winning'.bloody glory hunters

In 1989,liverpool were running away with the leagur title. The hillesborough disaster happened that year and as a result the game against arsenal was rescheduled to the last of the season. It was played at anfield and arsenal needed to win by 2 clear goals The first goal was dubious and the winning goal was in the final minute,to lose the title in that fashion along with the pain of the deaths of their supporters must of been huge. But if you ever see the reception arsenal got that evening when they recieved the trophy you'll know that liverpool dont only sing when they are winning. Plus the liverpool team sent the champagne they had cooling on ice into the arsenal dressing room afterwards. Now thats class.


Open you heart and your mind to Lucifer and your soul will be forever saved. It is only through the love and peace of the dark Lord that you can find true salvation.

If by Lucifer, you mean the ancient god of good hope symbolized by the morning star, then yes. If you mean the Christian demonetization of Lucifer into a devil, then no.

I am becoming more and more skeptical of the future of this country if something isn't done about the elected profiteers that claim to represent the legal constituency. Is it possible to turn these crooked leaders and legislators out to pasture and start with a  'roll-back' to when we had an identity that was uniqely American?

Possible? Yes. Probable? No.\n\nThe politicians in power have redrawn the voting districts to such a degree that many politicians run unopposed, because there's no way anyone else can get enough votes in their districts to unseat them. To get them out, it will take the people who put them in in the first place to stand up and demand a change.\n\nFrankly, I don't see it happening.


I have just purchased a vintage (because it was cheap) SRA Reading LAb kit. I am hoping to use it as an afterschool reading enhancement course. Any thoughts, ideas, anecdotes, etc. would be appreciated.

My goodness!  The SRA reading kits!  I loved them as a student - but that wasn't yesterday.  I have retired from a teaching career.  I remember how disappointed I would be if our teacher skipped SRA time!!  And at the end of the year I had progressed to the second last color - I think it was blue - I had really hoped to get to the top!! \n\nI did use a more updated version many years ago with third and fourth graders and some of them thought they were ok, while others detested them.  However,  I think they will be a good resource for students who are independent learners, and who like that sort of thing.  Many kids get a kick out of using the kinds of things their parents might have used.  Many kids enjoy the fact that they are self-directed, and that they can progress at their own rate.  For kids who don't like to do a lot of reading at one sitting, the stories are fairly short.  The speed with which kids can progress can be very enhancing to their self esteem and self confidence.  Students score their own work, which many like to do. \n\nThey can be a very good support to you in designing individualized materials as you need them, and possibly in setting up centers in your class if you use centers.  As others have indicated, they are sequential, so you can easily use them for ideas for activities and topics. Use them to design cloze precedures for example.  Write your own more indepth exercises if you need them.  Use the stories as a jumping off place for students to do more in depth research of a topic.\n\nYou can sign up for a free on-line monthly newsletter about the SRA labs at the link I've included.  New, much more colorful editions of the labs are available.\n\nBest of luck with it.  Pretty much anything kids will read is a good resource.


the first time i saw my girlsfriend smile, was the most beautiful smile i saw...\n\nthe first sunset i saw, was the most beautiful sunset i ever saw...\n\nthe first love-poem i received, were the most beautiful words i ever did read...\n\nafter a while, we people tend to start taking things for granted. things become more normal, less amazing after a while. we have to work to keep things as amazing as all those 'first times' we felt, saw, witnessed or heard.\n\ni was wondering, as an atheist, does that also aply to the love for a God? do you have to work to keep the love alive? does it ever feel the same as that first time you felt the love of God? or do you notice that sometimes you take it for granted?

it's like drugs aint it...\nyou never feel the love as strong as you felt it the first time. \nyes, you have to work a lot. life is nothing without work. it's not easy to love. needs a lot of work. if you dont work, love will die. but the point is, if you dont work on love, what are you gonna work on? what else is worth workin on? nothing. cause love is the only thing that stays at the end. everything else will be gone. death destroys everything.\nim not talkin about the love for a god here. there IS NO love for god. love for something that's not real cannot be love. you find the true god by loving. only by loving. you cant just read a book and since it tells you there's god, you think you've found him and you decide to love. it doesnt work that way. you have to love first. not gods, but people. your family, friend.. everybody. and then god will come naturally to you. and you wont need no books, no churches, no prayers.. all these things are pointless. they were all created by humans, not by god. a tree is much more divine than a icon in a church. the words that come from your heart are much more divine than the bible. if you pray, pray to a tree, or a flower, or whatever, as long as it's alive. there's no point prayin to a dead painting of some retards with yellow circles around their heads. love everybody, dont ever hate anybody, no matter who he is, always accept him. that's the work you gotta do.\nim an atheist too. i dont believe in any religion, i dont believe in any god from any religion, nor in any son of a god. the only thing you really need in life is love.


downloaded free version of registry mechanic, it found 54 problems. I am unable to purchase the one needed to fix the problems. Is there anyway for me to fix them myself? All problems seem to be in the Hkey. THANKS!!!

Why would you have registry problems in the first place, many of these registry fixing programs are nothing more than a way to get your money. If you try to do it yourself you can run Regedit from your RUN command line...but back it up first!\n\nUsually the programs you are speaking of find a small portion of a program that is no longer in your computer and is referenced in your registry...this WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS. Virtually every single program leaves a trace of itself in your registry, don't worry about it!!

How much intelligence do you expect from this man.. He's bush!


Is there any observation which supports any feature of your theory? (An adequate answer to this question will not be something which is a problem for evolution, but is rather evidence for your theory. Remember that it is logically possible for both evolution and your theory to be false. Something which appears to support Lamarkian evolution rather than Darwinian, or punctuated equilibrium rather than gradualism is not enough. Also, the observation must be something which can be checked by an independent observer. \n\n\nIs there any observation which was predicted by your theory?

I hope you don't mind a copy and paste answer, but I don't see the need to rewrite this article in my own words and it does pertain to your question.\n\n_______________________________\n\n\nCreation Evidence - The Great Debate of Origins\nCreation Evidence is sought by Creationists to discredit Evolution, not to validate Special Creation… \n\nIt is agreed on all sides that there are only two possible solutions to the riddle of origins. Either Someone made the world, or the world made itself. A third option, the world is eternal and without origin, contradicts Natural Laws such as Thermodynamics and has been disproved with mathematical certainty in the 20th century. As the universe is obviously complex and seemingly well-designed, a Designer should be the scientific default. In everything we observe today, concept and design are the result of a Mind. Furthermore, Natural Laws such as Gravity, Inverse Squares, Cause and Effect, and Thermodynamics imply a Law-giver. \n\nFamous British evolutionary anthropologist and anatomist, Sir Arthur Keith, is quoted as saying, "Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the alternative is Special Creation, and that is unthinkable." However, this is not acceptable under general principles of science. Unless a natural mechanism constrained by Natural Law, by which the entire universe could come into existence and further develop through random process, is found, a Creator must be the theoretical default. It doesn't matter whether an individual scientist has difficulty accepting it or not. As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so eloquently stated in his Sherlock Holmes series, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." \n\n\nCreation Evidence - A Few Brief Examples:\n\n\nLack of Transitional Fossils. Charles Darwin wrote, "Lastly, looking not to any one time, but to all time, if my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking closely together all the species of the same group, must assuredly have existed. But, as by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?" (Origin of Species, 1859). Since Darwin put forth his theory, scientists have sought fossil evidence indicating past organic transitions. Nearly 150 years later, there has been no evidence of transition found thus far in the fossil record. \n\nLack of a Natural Mechanism. Charles Darwin, in his Origin of Species, proposed Natural Selection to be the mechanism by which an original simple-celled organism could have evolved gradually into all species observed today, both plant and animal. Darwin defines evolution as "descent with modification." However, Natural Selection is known to be a conservative process, not a means of developing complexity from simplicity. Later, with our increased understanding of genetics, it was thought perhaps Natural Selection in conjunction with genetic mutation allowed for the development of all species from a common ancestor. However, this is theoretical and controversial, since "beneficial" mutations have yet to be observed. In fact, scientists have only observed harmful, "downward" mutations thus far. \n\nTime Constraints. Both Creationists and Evolutionists agree that if evolution is at all possible, there needs to be an excessive (if not infinite) amount of time. For much of the 20th century, it was thought evolutionists had all the time they needed. If the earth ever looked too young for certain evolutionary developments to have occurred, the age was pushed back in the textbooks. In 1905, the earth was declared to be two billion years old. By 1970, the earth was determined to be 3.5 billion years old, and by the 1990's, the earth had become 4.6 billion years old. However, Young Earth advocates have identified quite a few Young Earth chronometers in re

P.S. It wouldn't necessarily be a bubble but could be any 3 dimensional shape you can think of.   I ran out of space to elaborate in the question itself!

We live in a jam jar on a scientist's shelf. They drop in bits of war, anarchy, etc, to see how we react. It's all one big experiment really in someone's living room.

I've seen it done. It's such an archaic practise, but I realize that it is a way of life and that cattle need to be identified. Have any farms tried a different method? \n\n\n\nHow come there is no category for farming or industy? Am I missing it? where should this question live?

A very popular method is RF tagging. Small Rf tags are atatched to the ear or the smaller ones are implanted under the skin of the livestock. this is a painless and less tramatic method and allows for additional security.\n\nThe RF tag is a simple small transmitter that when activated by a low frequency signal, transmits a number back to the reciever. This is even used to locate a particular animal on farms that deploy it.

These baseball cards have an amount on them of $350.00 each and there are 12 of them in the package.  I know because my daughter opened the other package.  Which they are in good condition also.  They say GUYANA on them.  I have one package not opened and they seem to be worth alot of money.  They have gold around the picture.  It's called the Premier Edition.  Official baseball stamp cards.Special Commemorative 100th Anniversary Gold Foil Set.  Can someone tell me how much they might be worth.

Commemorative sets are not generally worth much of anything.  The valuable cards are the ones no one knew were going to be valuable.  Example...a rookie card for Mickey Mantle or some other big star.  The Honus Wagner card that was pulled because it was produced by a tobacco company and Wagner was opposed to being associated with tobacco.  *Rare* cards are valuable, not special editions.


My friend's name is Aza...what would that be in other languages? Thanks!!!

I don't know darling. I suggest you'd get another B/F with an easier name to translate : like me : Hugo. Ugo, Hugh, Hughes, Hugues, etc...\n\n;-)


you know what i mean! you're trying to have a romantic dinner at DENNY'S, and the moron in the booth behind you is screaming about his hemmiroid surgery, and the loser in the booth in front of you is trying to score a kilo, and he and his stoned, deaf dealer talk as if they are using two cans joined by strings!! what do all of you do in situations like this?

I deal with in two ways the first is I bought an illegal, (please don't call the police on me), cell phone jammer off of ebay, I bring to the movies and restraunts...usually wait til they get obnoxious and then turn it on.  Second I start using the same names and pharse they are using for example: I hear them say Susie was so drunk, I turn to my dinner partner and loudly proclaim about how  Susie was naked and dancing on the table last night.  Seems to get even the most obnoxious ones to tone it down.


I had a boyfriend that told me I was the one, and I thought he was the one, then I made the biggest mistake of my life and cheated on him. I won't go into details, lets just say i guess i was scared and selfish and f***ed up big time. 2 years later i still loved him and had to tell him. I didn't want a relationship but wanted to know that what i thought was so special was special to him too and that he would still have some love for me. Is not love that deep, lasting to some extent? He said no. He said he's moved on blah blah. He used to be an angel now he's a bastard sleeping with girls, hurting them, not using protection, currently his lover asked him to sleep with her best friend. Weird huh. So I feel i did this to him, made him not love, turned him off. He said he's having fun and that's all that matters. I feel he's destroying his life, or someone elses. \n\nHe did say what do you want to hear, will saying it make a difference? Does he still love me and doesn't want to admit it?

Ok...Sometimes we do think someone is the "one", but as time goes by being apart, usually the feelings also grow apart as life moves on. which means, we just thought that person was the "one"... Thats how it generally works... NOW, in the rare occasion.. it works differently.. I will use myself as example. I was dating a guy for 2 years, we both said we were the "one" each other wanted to be with (no proposal tho), well I ended up breaking things off (he had been jobless a while).. He wanted back with me for a while, but i wouldnt... Time passed by, we both lived our seperate lives, but talked on the phone occasionaly (maybe 6 times in 2 yrs).. We both had our new relationships and new breakups.. After two yrs of being apart I had a bad situation happen to me, and he was the only one who came running to help me.. ANd our relationship has begun again.. we both realized there were things we both were wrong about before, and  lessons were learned in our time apart.. The only difference is, noone cheated on anyone... That can really bruise someone's ego and self esteem, and make it hard for them to trust anyone again.. before your ex would consider being with you again, he'd have to gain trust in you back.. I'd suggest to him to try out being friends , hanging out (no sex) talking on the phone, etc.. to see what can be built up between you two. If you are meant to be together, you will be.. I'm proof of that


I dont get why I would get nervous for such a stupid thing? I would feel like throwing up, that kindof feeling. just going to get my haircut!

I have had an awful year so far - first I got a chest infection that lasted weeks, then a stomach infection that caused me to vomit blood at one time, and now a massive carbuncle that's even given me fever this morning. Add to that a sinus problem that cropped up too. Now I know that I got all these infections from other people and from being in a third world country, however I travel there every year and had never been sick before. I don't particularly want to do an HIV test because it would be impossible for me to keep it a secret in my situation. Also its highly unlikely that I have HIV (I'm celibate now). Any one here have any advice? What else could this be?

Poor diet,anemia,life style, chest infections can hang around 4 ever... so it seems when u get one! think u should maybe get a HIV test u say u are celibate "NOW" so guess u have had sexual relationships before your celibacy and the HIV virus can lay dormant for many years  as 4 people finding out that u have had a test "its your life" and tho at the moment there is not a cure if u start a course of medication it can help with the symptoms  and some say helps hold back the onset of the big "A" that's all I can say on the subject............. hope u recover soon I really do !


Try crossing into any other country illegally.  They have firing squads and brick walls stained with blood to prove they mean business.

It is not that simple, I think the way to go about keeping the illegals from coming here is to jail the people that hire them. Make them pay such a fine that is no longer worth it to pay substandard wage and Americans will fill those jobs in a heartbeat.

i wen t to the emergancy and took x-rays but was fine. my left leg goes numb on me at times and makes me fall. 3 times in three weeks. what could be the problem?

It sound like you have something misaligned on your spine.\nYour lower veribra have nerves leading to your leg. Go to the doctor because nerves can be damaged with time.


For example..some of us don't knock people over at the arcade trying to play tekken and want to play for fun and I tried to explain that to someone who also doesn't like those people, who asked a question about it but I suggested perhaps she was also being rude the way she put the question. Next thing you know she's insulting me via e-mail. If someone can't handle an honest answer, don't ask it!! Of course I struck back in self-defense but I didn't start it. She then came back with another insult. They were actually amusing, though. apparently her vocabulary doesn't go beyond the word "loser".

they are self centered and have been brain washed into believing they are the only person on the planet who is right.\n Anwser one about why some women are picky ...get slammed by people who didn't even ask the question! I am selective & believe people should get to know someone before committing to sex..then when the "lust/burning urgre" is gone..there aren't 2 total strangers with possiblly a baby involoved..and another case of STDS in one more person.\n It's called values & class..but it's slammed by guys who can't handle rejection & honesty..\n Some dude has been sending me nasty emails because I answered honestly to that question and I am who I am..Never said anyone had to be like me !!Though I believe we'd all have happier & healthier relationships..it's just my opinion,that's all.\n They take it as a personal attack,when it's not even that !!\n I laugh when I read what he has to say..Hhhhhmmm wonder if he's that chick's brother? He can't spell either and says the weirdest things if I send him a reaponse.Well,at least he is my free entertainment & get a chuckle from him !!LOL

On an online compliant forum I posted my experience with a shoddy used car dealer; he eventually found it and although he has the option of replying with a rebuttal anytime he likes, he opted to begin harassing me with phone calls telling me to remove it or he will sue me. \n\nTo keep the compliant on a simple facts basis I stated that we bought the car from his dealership & that it cost $10,000, which is true but he is feeding off the fact that my husband's dad shows up as the actual "customer" on the papers, because he used a bank CD worth $10,000 to pay for the car in full. The sold price is $8500 but the rest of the money went towards taxes,licensing the car,etc. We are & for several more years will be making payments to his father to pay off the entire $10,000; plus ALL the repairs done on the vehicle have been on us & come out of our pockets. It has unfortunately been our car since day one & its a total pile of junk. The dad has no backbone & doesnt want to get involved..

He can sue you, sure.   Whether or not he can WIN is the real issue, and as long as you told the truth, you have a pretty good defense.  If he is harassing you by phone and threatening, I think THAT's his intent - just to give you a hard time.  His legal costs would be pretty significant, and, even if yor story is only PART true, he stands little chance of collecting from you (although a trail is a hassle, and you would have some expense).\n\nSounds like he's playing "chicken."  Make sure your version of the story is accurate, and then ignore him.  Or if you don't think the harassment is worth posting a complaint, remove it and get over it.  If the complaint is legitimate, you should report him to the BBB.  And if it were me, I would post something with THAT, and just say  you had a very bad experience.
