The screen resolution was increased to 800 by 600 pixels to 1152 by 864 pixels. it instantly went black. i just cannot it restore coz my screen is totally black since then. anyway, how to fix it. Thanks.

Your monitor hardware does not support 1152 by 864 resolution selected by you. Turn off your PC and restart it in Safe mode, select the earlier resolution and then restart it in normal mode, your problem will be recfified.


A book said a full moon causes colder temperatures and that seems false and/or coincidental.  \n\nCan the moon effect weather patterns or temperature?

NO, angle of the earth on it's axis limits sunlight for a few months. The days never warm up.

Attempt this questions. I just had them for a test and see how welll you can write on it.\n\n1) In relation to the vasuclar tissues in the roots, stems and leaves of a plant, show and explain how the essential materials of a plant move about in the plant. (8 marks)\n\n2) Outline the functions of those essential materials and how they benefit the plant. Without them, what would happen? (4 marks)

Vascular tissues include the xylem and the phloem. Water is transported from the root hair cells to the rest of the plant via transpiration pull as well as capillary action.Water moves down a water potential gradient. In woody plants, the transport of water is aided by root pressure.\nWith regard to the transport of phloem, there are several hypothesis such as the mass flow hypothesis.

The man that I like is my doctor and he is married\nI don't want to be #2 in anybody's life, but I'm so happy when I see him. I would be happy to have a child with him, but I don't even know how to get him to sleep with me. He probably is happy and does not need anybody else. And even if he sleeps with me, how can I tell him I'm a virgin- I'll drive him away.\nCan anybody respond to my question?

I am a doctor and while having wild trouble with my wife, I decided to never be with here again.  I have 2 kids. A few months later, 4 to be exact, I started living with one of my patients, who is 40, and had a wild drive for me since 2 years ago. While being my patient nothing happened, but we started talking after I left my wife, never to return I thought. I lived with this woman for over a year, and that was the happiest time of my life. Nevertheless, my kids were having very serious trouble, and even though I did not wish to see my wife again, I decided to return to my kids and get them out of trouble. I will never stop loving my patient, she was the sweetest girl I've never known, but I cannot live happily with her while my kids are going down hill. I may be damned, but I need my kids to be OK for me to be happy, and they demand my presence. I could never feel happy while being with the woman I love while my kids are going through trouble. You being a virgin is not an issue to me, it should not be an issue to you, it should not be an issue for anybody loving you. What worries me is to find you left aside because this guy is married. I am not saying it is right or wrong, I am saying I doubt he will feel absolutely and sincerely happy with you while thinking about his kids. Been there, done that, don't go there, yo don't want to go there. You'll be happy for a while, and then you will know hell. Excuse my honesty, but I do not wish any human being to go through my experience. Hence I have the need to speak about it. And only anonimously. Take my word: you don't want this.\nPD: I am aged 46.


Just a simple kiss, also spelled muah.  Like the European kiss on the cheek, a brief peck.


In the Gospel according to Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, NEITHER THE SON, but the Father". (Mark 13:32)\nGod knew the time of the day of judgment, this was something that even Jesus did not know.  This shows that by God knowing something that Jesus didn't, they did not share the same intellect. The knowledge of the unseen is divine qualities, and the one who does not know the unseen, obviously cannot be divine. Jesus was explicitly saying that understand I am a human, I do not know everything, only the creator knows. Furthermore, if someone thinks that Jesus the man did not know, then he is missing a point that according to Christians, Jesus was 100% man and 100% God in one body. It means, he possess the same intellect of God and Man. If he had the same intellect then he should have same knowledge. But we don’t find this in harmony with mark 13:32. Therefore, Jesus is not God.

JESUS CHRIST IS NOT SON OF GOD:\n\n1. God Is All Knowing.....But Jesus Was Not \n\nWhen speaking of the Day of Judgement, Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32 and Matt. 24:36) \n\n2. God Is All-Powerful.....But Jesus Was Not \n\nWhile Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own but was derived from God when he said, "Verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." (John 5:19). Again he said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." (John 5:30) \n\n3. God Does Not Have A God.....But Jesus Did Have A God \n\nGod is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was One whom he worshipped and to Whom he prayed when he said, "I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." (John 20:17). He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matt. 27:46). If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself, why hast thou forsaken me?". Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's Prayer (Luke 11:2-4), was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt." (Matt. 26:36). Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and prayed to another being as God is clear proof that Jesus himself is not God. \n\nAccording to the Bible, God is an invisible spirit.... \n\n4. But Jesus Was Flesh And Blood \n\nWhile thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said: "No man hath seen God at any time." (John 1:18). "Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." (John 5:37) He also said in John 4:24: "God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God. \n\nNO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT HIM... \nBUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF... \n\n5. Will Was Distinct From His Own \n\nPerhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and God are not equal, and therefore not one and the same, comes again from the mouth of Jesus himself who said in John 14:28: "My Father is greater than I." When someone referred to him as a good master in Luke 18:19, Jesus responded: "Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is God..." Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between himself and God when he said, "I proceeded forth and came from God, neither came I of myself but He sent me." (John 8:42) Jesus gave clear evidence of his subordination to God, rather than his equality with God, when he said in Luke 22:42, "not my will but Thine be done" and in John 5:30, "I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which has sent me." Jesus admitted that he did not come into the world on his own initiative but was directed to do so, he acknowledged another being as greater than himself, and he negated his own will in deference to affirming the will of another. All of the above give clear proof that Jesus is not the Supreme One and therefore Jesus is not God. \n\nConclusion \n\nThe Church recognises the Bible as the primary source of knowledge about God and Jesus. But since the Bible makes


yea i tried it, and it hurts a lot, i just wanted to kno if anyone else knows how painful it is...

Someone stabbed a pencil deep into the back of my hand in high school.  I still have the blue mark where the lead broke off.  I think the doctor cutting open my hand to get out the broken pencil pieces hurt more than the stabbing.\n\nI just have to wonder how bored you are to stab YOURSELF.

For the past two days I have had a sharp, localized pain below my stomach on the right side.  It seems to be getting worse, and has moved me to tears a couple times today.  Should I head to the ER or just  wait it out?  Everything else digestively is normal.

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like appendicitis. Go to the ER ASAP to have it checked. You can get VERY sick if it ruptures!


Tell me about it? When? Where? Who? etc?

As a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."


Karma refers to the overall life balance of good/evil.  In general it's about balance and fairness more than good and evil.  Karma is the positive stock of good energy that surrounds one.\n\nExample:  If you do good deeds, you build up a stock of Karma ... sort of like the balance in a bank account.  The more you have, the more you can borrow.  Good begets good and if you have lots of Postitive Karma, good things will happen to you to balance out the good things you've done for others.  \n\nBad Karma ... well if you do bad things to people ... that stock of negative energy fills up and attracts bad things to you ... eventually.  In other words, if you have a stock of negative Karma built up, it's just a matter of time before life balances out that which you have done to/for others and that which has been done to/for you.  Right before someone is charged with murder ... they may likely have a very big stock of bad Karma.\n\nDOGMA is the structure (or rules) surrounding believe.  Examples (only examples here):  Catholic Dogma prohibits sex for any purpose other than procreation.  Jewish Dogma states that Jesus was one of many profets, no more.  Hindu Dogma prohibits eating cows as they are considered sacred.\n\nKarma is the unseen, "What goes around, comes around".\nDogma is the set of rules that define a particular belief (i.e. the syntax)

Ok, so the new episodes come on NBC!  and the last new one i saw was the guy who stole the brother and the sister, and on the end of that episode Olivia and Elliot were talking about changing partners...So i'm watching the new episode tonight and she is on it but Elliot has a new partner, did she want off the show or something? Is this they way of writing her off of the show or are they going to become partners again? OMG!! This will change SVU FOREVER, IT WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE THE SAME!!!!

Mariska Hargitay became pregnant, and they decided to not write the pregnancy into the show. And to help cover up Olivia's belly, they have the main characters getting new partners. \n\nNext fall, when SVU returns, Connie Nielsen ("Gladiator," 2000) will guest star for a while as one of the character's new partners. I'm hearing the current plan is to keep Olivia and Elliot seperated for quite a while when SVU returns in the fall. Perhaps even until November!


What is kind of "joke" is that?.. and what is the point...

If someone comes into the UK they should accept that commiting a crime will get them sent right back to where they came from - therefore if they commit a crime it is their choice. We are too easy and politically (and whatever) horizontally correct with regard to others - look after and safeguard the safety of the general public is more important to my mind.  Which party is going to stand up for US? and finally DO something????

Anyone who is allowed in this country for whatever reasons has to abide by the rules if they commit any crime regardless if they have been jailed should be sent back to where they came from.  If there life was in that much danger in their own country they should just be so grateful they are safe in Britain.  But are we safe in Britain?  Does anyone care?  I'm afraid the politicians are too busy lining their own pockets and bonking their staff to care about the real issues.


we have been friends for a long time. He told me he loved me and that he would always be there for me. Now he wont even look at me or touch me what should I do?

You need to find a way to engage with him.  It's possible that he is just paniced.  (I don't know how long it's been since you told him), and if he was your friend for a long time and he slept with you, then I find it unlikely that he is just running away for no reason.  Write him a letter, Call him, walk up to him and say we need to talk. Do somthing, figure out for yourself if you want to be in a relationship with this guy, and if you do, then just lay your feelings out there, and let him find his way.  If he loves you then he will treat you with the dignity and respect that you deserve.  (I think that it is much more likely that he is just freaking out).  So give him a little paitence and understanding because you have nothing to lose.  But be prepared for him to say he doesn't want to be with you (this is for your sake).  And whatever happens sweetie, your a woman of real value, and there is sombody out there who will love and cherish you for who you are.  Don't settle for less.  (but give cut him a little slack being told your going to be a father with your friend and not your GF is big news).  Good luck sweetie, and I hope this helps.  By the way, don't pay attention to the a**hole who answered above me, he is just being a prick.

i'm a 20 year old beautiful young lady who has never dated before,the reason i've never dated before is because i'm really scared of getting hurt,my mother was in an abusive relationship and i'm scared that i might also be in a relationship like that,i really want to get over the fear,how can i do it?please help.

my best advice would be to just go out on a date...it doesn't have to be with someone you're attracted to if that's easier...maybe a male friend...someone you know will me nice to you...so you can see how it should be.  Maybe meeting someone someplace like church would help...or a group in your area for people who've had abuse in their lives.

Do you think you were born with the disorder or is it brought on by outside factors, trauma,lonliness.\nCould other traits in your charactor like feeling things too deeply be the cause.

It can definatly be genetic. If your parent(s) had one of these cases, it can be inherited, but also environmental factors contribute...stress levels can cause these chemical imbalances too. There are lots of things, if the traits are inherited, you can just be more at risk of developing these habits, and something can go on in your atmosphere that can set off these conditions.

I am going to train 12 hours a day and i need advice.\nI am going to start training tomorrow 12 hours a day for football(soccer) from 5-11 am and 5-11 pm. Do you have any adviceto give? \n\nAdditional Details\n\n12 minutes ago\nI am turning 15 today. Only a few hours is really strenuos, most of it is passing 2hours,shooting 2hours,heading 2 hours,agility1hour,jogging hour, trapping 1 hour,and I rotate pylometrics and speed exercises and juggling also so that it adds up to 12 hours a day.\n\nP.S. \n\nI have done 1 year in advance of school so that i can be free to do this.

With whom are you going to train. If you are training by yourself it's going to be really hard. Soccer is team sport so the best advice is to be training with some people. Training with other people is not only more fun, i think it's the only way to accomplish something.\n\nI'm a soccer player myself at a reasonable level in the Netherlands. I only train 2 times a week for 2 hours. This gives me enough practice to act at this level.\n\nI assume you play at a higher level so I think a training of 4 hours a day would be more than enough. Professional soccer players in the Netherlands train about an average of 6 hours a day. When training that much know that it's best to consult a physician.\n\nGood luck with training.

Is air put into the pockets?  Are there any consequences because of oil removal?

well the oil is under pressure, so when we drill all we are doing is releasing the pressure. Then when the pressure is gone there is still some oil left. sometimes to get out the oil we have to pump water down to force the oil up.\nSo it is not like you are left with any empty space if that is what you are thinking.\n\nthere are no consequences that I am aware of.


Or trespassing with the intention of breaking in?\nIf so, what happened? \nDid you confront them?\nDid they get arrested or get away?

yes, a couple of years ago.I was lying on my bed when i heard strange cracking noises near the door.I immediately got up and run towards the door shouting and swearing.By the time i got near the door, i saw a black sleeve trying to disengage from the semi opened door (still partialy unlocked due to the chain).I heard falling noises and as i opened the door there was a single person wearing a black mask, trying to get up midways down the stairs. He was terrified and ran away.I didnt go after him.I called the police.I testified, they powdered almost the entire entrance and hallway for fingerprints.Almost a year after that i received the report notifying me that they found him.Unfortunately i have no way to confirm it neither to doubt it tho...Note tho that when the attempt took place, i acted instantly, instictively and really intensly.Generally reactions of this consistency are not recommended.I would suggest placing an alarm connected with the pd and activating it manualy (by a secondary power+telephone system near the bed in case the primary automatic system has been deactivated...thats what ive done)

I dated/had longterm relationship with my now exBoyfriend.\nWhile we dated I bought/made him dinner, did his laundry, mailed his bills, woke him up and brought him coffee to his bus stop every morning. When we stopped dating 2 years ago, his health wasnt that great & he asked me to still help him.  Out of caring for him I helped him out.\nTime has passed & he now has a serious girlfriend who lives 30 minutes away. I have tried to tell him how I cant do chores for him anymore since 1. I feel taken advantage of 2. Im not his girlfriend anymore, just a platonic friend 3. His health is fine and he makes tons of money so he could hire someone to do stuff for him if he doesnt want to.\nSadly his reaction has been very unfriendlike.\nHe's showing himself to be kinda scary & super selfish.\nHe has told me that if I were a real friend I would keep doing those chores because they make his life so much happier and run more smoothly. argh.\nI have explained that I cant be his errand bitach anymore

I am sorry but it sounds like he is more like a husband or even a super big rotten son, I understand that you wanted to be a good friend to him in the begining but now it sounds like he is spoiled rotten by your kind heat and then to make it sooooo bad he is actually in another relationship with a female who is actually putting up with this crap huh? If you have explained it to him that you no longer can be his part-time "mamma" and not only that, you don't want to be his housekeeper/errand runner or chef no more, you have your own life to live and he is not part of the new plans. If he is really as bad as you say he is then he really isn't your friend, you're just the ex-girlfriend he can treat like crap because that is what he's doing right? Using your kindness as weakness, If his new g/f was really serious about their relationship then she would not be putting up with his disrepect, unless she is smart and knows he's full of sh!t.\nNo!!!! If He was a real friend instead of using you he would be showing apperication for all you have done for him in his time of need. Let this ex-boyfriend go because there is no true love or respect(as a friend). Just what he can keep on getting from you, It's really a shame & sad how there are people in this world who really get off on using others.\nBut whatever you do, don't let this bum make you stop being kind, because there are a lot of people out there that do need and appericate the kindness of others.\nJust keep the ex's in their right place "In your past"


My husband's daughter (1st marriage) will not speak to her father unless he gives her money or buys something for her.  She is about to graduate from university with a barely passing grade.  But she has told him now she wants to go to design school in Southern Cal.  She says she has picked out an ocean front condo in Malibu to live in while she goes to school  and he needs to pay the rent on it.  When he balked, she refused to talk to him.  The only way he has her in his life is if he does what she wants financially.\n\nHe says he can't bare to live without her.  All she does is talk about how people are beneath her and how great she looks in her gucci outfit (that her dad paid for).  She is going on 25 years old and never worked a day in her life.  My husband says he worked a lot when he was young and he wants her to enjoy her youth.\n\nI feel sick to my stomach every time she comes around.  And I am starting to hate him for it.

Tell her to get a grant..\n\nLots of paper work but it there for the taking if people pursue it and what it bad enough.\n\nPLUS : Its time for her to learn responsibility's of being on her on. Part-time job will do.\n\nKids get bad but as they mature they forgive because they realize that Parents do know best.\n\nI had a girl friend her son was 27 never worked and ever time you said work it was back to college life time student. Well that didnot work out but you our married so its different try to find away to hold on. ( Great woman to and she even worked for State Farm Insurance but between us both his bills where to much. )\n\nI hope for you all to have the best in life it can give for you to work through this.


(eg) is that why they write about us?? are they making profits  writing  about us? and why they don't write about themselves for a change and let the black race write about themselves!!!!

ever heard the word 'paranoid'?????\nim in the UK and its a known fact that most crime is commited by black people here, an u expect us to love u? why?


It was just to see how this worked and I had a dream that she cheated on me so it was on my mind.  You guys all act like im the devil and you just need to relax!

Above and beyond all else, cheating is immoral, and people hold fidelity (or the lack of) very close to their hearts. People get all worked up for many reasons - it has happened to them, really screwed their lives up im some fashion, etc. This is usually a black or white issue for most people, therefore an extreme reaction will follow - even if the question is hypothetical.


I just got a Ouija Board, and it won't work. Anyone got any tips from people who got their's to work? Anyone got stories of a specific seance? Share it here, and PLEASE answer this.

Don't mess with it. You are not ready to handle what happens after you mess with. burn it if i was you. Bad stuff will happen to you if you continue to use it.\n\nOuija: How Does It Work?  \n \nIs the Ouija a fascinating game for harmless fun... or a dangerous gateway to the unknown? \nYour fingertips lightly touch the edge of the planchette. Your friend does the same on the opposite side. You consciously move the planchette in circles around the board to get it “warmed up.” Then you ask your question. No response at first. Then slowly the planchette begins to move, seemingly on its own – at least you’re not trying to move it. Sliding from one letter to the next, the planchette spells out its answer. And it seems to fit. More questions are asked, and with increasing speed the Ouija provides its responses, letter by letter. Seemingly with significance. Sometimes with dark significance.\n\nWhat’s behind the Ouija? How does it work? Is it, as the manufacturer suggests, a harmless game? Or is something more sinister involved? In a recent poll of readers conducted at this site, 65 percent believed the Ouija to be a dangerous tool. While a majority of respondents (41 percent) believed that the board was controlled by the users’ subconscious, 37 percent believed it was controlled by spirits, and 14 percent feared that it was under the influence of demonic spirits.\n\nThe Ouija board as we know it dates back to the late 1800s when at the height of the spiritualist movement it was a popular parlor game. Over the years, many manufacturers have marketed Ouijas and other “talking boards.” At The Museum of Talking Boards – one of the best websites about the Ouija – you can see and read about the many incarnations of the board. Currently, apart from the familiar Ouija board marketed by Parker Brothers (now part of Hasbro), there are about eight other styles of talking boards that all work in pretty much the same way – with a pair of hands resting on a planchette that points to words or spells out answers to questions asked.\n\nThe Ideomotor Effect\n\nThe ideomotor effect refers to involuntary and unconscious motor behavior. The term “ideomotor action” was coined by William Carpenter in 1882 in his explanation for the movements of dowsing rods and pendulums by dowsers, and table turning by spirit mediums. The movement of pointers on Ouija boards is also due to the ideomotor effect.\n\nCarpenter argued that muscular movement can be initiated by the mind independently of volition or emotions. We may not be aware of it, but suggestions can be made to the mind by others or by observations. Those suggestions can influence the mind and affect motor behavior. What is purely physiological, however,  appears to some to be paranormal.\n\n– from The Skeptic’s Dictionary\n \nWhy to many people believe that spirits make the Ouija’s plastic planchette move? For one, because they cannot understand how their subconscious might be doing it. For another, the Ouija itself often tells them so. It’s not uncommon for users to ask during a session, “Who is controlling this board?” And very often the Ouija will oblige the users, spelling out a name unknown to the users. Further inquiries sometimes reveal that the controlling spirit died recently, or some other such drama, and can provide cryptic messages and even warnings to the users. Too often, however, users take these messages at face value, never considering that they could be coming from their own imaginations.\n\nSo which is it? Are we controlling the Ouija or not? The Museum of Talking Boards articulates the two prevailing theories on how the Ouija works – the automatism theory and the spiritualist theory:\n\nThe Automatism Theory – The clinical term is “ideomotor response.” You may not know that you are moving the message indicator, but you are. This is similar to automatic writing, also know as automatism, a well-understood phenomenon. Mediums in years pas


got homes from my parents. The houses are side by side. Would you give him life time rights after he as cheated on you for 29 years of marriage, with people he made your friends, or tried to cheat with people who were yor friends. But my friends told on him, and he said they had something against him. In the state of NC what you are given as a gift or inherited the spouse can't touch it. My daugther and I just caught one of his girlfiends driving his truck. This was a lady that went on cruises and trips with me and my husband. The oprah show the other day, I could see myself up there feeling lost like that lady, because he has brought women into our home and had sex.  My problem is I am afraid that I will be alone the rest of my life. I am not a perfect figure woman, a full figure, and I believe that no man will see me as attracted. I have two grown children, and they don't like the things my husband has done to me over the years.

First of all make sure you get a good attorney to protect your property rights. If I were you, I would not only dump him to the curb but would do everything you can to leave him alone with nothing but the clothes on his back. He should be ashamed of himself! Secondly, don't worry about your looks. Real men look beyond that and see the beauty beneath and besides that, some of us want a woman who has "curves"!!!

Is it a legal requirement to have a marking or sticker showing when it was last inspected and when another inspection is due? if so, under what regulation is that? (UK)

UK (and European Union) Pressure Vessels\nThe Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive, also known as the TPED is one of a series of measures implementing ADR - the European agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods.\n\nAccording to ADR section 6.2.1.7, new cylinders must be marked with following particulars in clearly legible and durable characters:\n\n...the date (year) of the initial inspection and month where the inspection interval is less than 10 years.\n\n...Old cylinders must be marked with the Pi mark, Notified or Approved Body number and inspection date when they pass their first periodic inspection after the introduction of the TPED.


I'm 21 years old, and don't want to make someone else rich by renting. How can I purchase a 1-2 bedroom under $150,000 with a modest income? I'm a college student, and have been on my job a few years, but the money is crap. It's just to get through school. I make less than $20,000, and would prefer a mortgage under $600 per month. What is the minimum income allowed to purchase something, and what steps should I take to get the ball rolling? Thanks

There are many mortage qualifier calculators online. These calculate what you qualify for based on the following factors:\n\n-Your income\n-Your assets versus your debts\n-Your credit rating\n\n\nThe higher the income (versus debts), assets, and credit rating, the more likely you are to qualify for a better mortgage with a lower monthly payment, all else being equal.\n\nUnfortunately, you're not likely to be able to afford much with your current income level. You have to add in the down payment (10-20K for a starter house.)\n\nBesides your mortgage payments, you have to also include the following:\n\n-property taxes\n-utilities (electricity, heating, phone, cable, internet)\n-homeowner's insurance\n\nGranted, when you rent you don't build equity. So you are correct in wanting to have your own home ASAP. But even if you buy a small starter home, your property taxes and utilities might overwhelm you with debt. (utilities are much higher in a house than in an apartment you rent). You can rent out part of your home, however, to help with monthly payments. But banks unfortunately don't assume that a rentor will be helping with monthly payments.\n\nMy advice is to build up your assets. Since you are young and you have many years ahead of you, your income will almost certainly go up. Even if you save just a little now- since you have college debts- you can have enough for a down payment in five years. By then you will likely also have a higher income.\n\nhttp://www.homefair.com/homefair/usr/qualcalcform.html\nhttp://www.mortgage101.com/Calculators/Incometoqualify.asp?p=mtg101


What do you think about how America's policians think that the government should obey rules by one's religion?

The establishment clause of the first amendment means that there shall be no 'official' religion in the United States.  It does not mean each and every politician must be an atheist.  For one to expect that a politician will totally ignore his or her religious convictions when making law is ridiculous.


How can a calculator figure out the answers to so many math questions?  How are simple mathematical calculators "programmed?"  There doesn't seem to be enough wiring to be able to account for an almost infinite number of calculations.

A calculator operates nothing like an abacus, sorry, nor are all possible answers pre-stored and just "looked up" as needed.\n\nThe full answer to your question is kind of complicated, but... well, it's too complicated to explain.  But I went and found a good website that might give you a good overview of how it works.\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/boolean.htm\n\nThis should cover what you're looking for. \nGood luck.


Giant Gonzales was 7' 8" if I'm not mistaken so he was bigger. And I really don't care who would win. Gonzales wasn't around long enough to get a good story line going and I don't think Kahli is going to last very long either. They are both over rated in my opinion.

I think the only non-Asians are either English teachers or temporary workers. Why are these countries so ethnically and racially homogeneous?

♡Oh, not true! I'm an American and my hubby is Japanese. I've lived here in Japan for almost 9 years now and know many men and women from other countries who live here as well that are NOT English teachers or temporary workers. There are many, many, many spouses of Japanese nationals here. Many of the women I know are housewives and mothers, not English teachers. I think it's that you mainly hear about people's experiences in Japan from those who have come here to work as teachers or temporary workers. But you'd be surprised as to how many people that are non-Asian, not English teachers or not temporary workers you'll find in Japan.♡


I would like to work on societal policies like global warming, deforestation, polution, etc. and I would like to apply my intended 10 degrees to societal planning with an emphasis on the future of human evolution.

If you haven't already gotten your Masters or PhD (because you sound like you're certainly qualified to do so), I would suggest a part time career solution. Go overseas and volunteer with an NGO for a while. There, you will probably be able to get some hands-on experience, as well as a feel for the political and social issues at rift in the area. All this will look great on a resume and could lead to a very prosperous career in research in the future.


Does anyone have any insight into this strategy other than something derogatory about the Raiders in general?  The Raiders can't be expecting Aaron Brooks or Marques Tuiasosopo to lead them to more than 4 wins per year.  Their 3rd string, Andrew Walter looks good on paper, but...

The Raiders passed on Leinhart because he didn't fit their system. Al Davis loves the down field passes that's why they have Randy Moss. Leinhart's arm strength is not his best attribute as he is more of a smart, accurate passer. That being said, the Raiders could of taken Jay Cutler and fit him into their system, but I suppose in the end they decided their horrible defense needed an upgrade, which it did.


I even catch myself fantasizing about another woman from time to time. Sometimes I think I am infatuated with her. What does this mean? I'm thinking it might just be a phase and that once I am over the break up completely, it will probably go away. My heart was really broken by a player. I'm so afraid of men now.

Only a woman knows what a woman wants so they say. Seems you have been hurt by the male gender and have'nt we all, perhaps someone has personaility traits that you were attracted to and that is natural it so does not mean that given the opportunity you would carry out your fantasy. Fantasy is fun and we get pleasure from it but if you are concerned about it seek advise form a professional. Give yourself space and let it work itself out, there is nothing wrong with what ever your choice sexually.

He doesn't have a disfunction, just a short fuse. He just doesn't last long in bed at all. We have tried pausing and switching positions, but to no fail, sex only lasts a few minutes. He doesn't have an issue with getting going again, its just I would like a good solid 20 minutes. Don't get me wrong, he knows what he's doing, he just needs to prolong it. Do you have any serious ideas, we are kinda frustrated.

Despite what people brag about or see on TV, Masters and Johnson found that the average man lasts only a few minutes between penetration and ejaculation.  So, your guy's pretty average and shouldn't be made to feel inadequate in any way.\n\nThere are condoms made with topical anesthetics.  You put the condom on during foreplay to get the penis numbed up.  Then you can wash it off if you want (you probably don't want to get the numbing stuff on you - that may defeat your purpose).  \n\nHe could also try masturbating a few hours before you really want to do it.  \n\nAnother option is the "squeeze technique."  He must have some self-control for this.  Don't let him wait until the second before orgasm.  Basically, he needs to learn to recognize when he is going to ejaculate.  If 0 is unaroused and 10 is being aroused enough for orgasm, then he should stop at 8 or 9 and squeeze the head of the penis until he is back down to a 5 or less.  Repeating this during sex will definitely prolong things.  But it takes time and training and commitment.\n\nHope that helps!

The universe is a hard disk serving as storage of information proven by seers and prophets as they can accessed it with their in-born ability. It can be surmised that through advanced technology all past and future information stored in the universe can be accessed for the benefit of mankind.

~Seers and prophets do not access information on the hard disk of the universe.  They time travel.  Via temporal projection, they can witness events in both the past and present first hand.  At times, they unknowingly project into parallel universes, thus accounting for unfilled prophecies and mistaken forecasts.

Probably something lighter than steel since you have to ship it up there.   I'm not sure what the surface of mars is made out of.  If its made out of rock you probably don't need much of a foundation at all.  If it is made out of mud or sand you'l likely need to have a long wide plate that will distribute the load of your building over a larger area.

I got home, turned on my computer and hit my name to log in at the start of XP. It made the sign in noises and everything but stayed at the sign in screen. I restarted like 5 times but the same thing happened. so I hit ctrl + alt + delete. It showed my wallpaper but no icons or the start bar. So then I managed to run a new task through the popup that comes through using ctrl + alt + delete. So i found the internet explorer icon and ran it. I was able to use the internet and it seems that I can use anything as long as i run it through the manual run thing that comes up when ya use ctrl + alt + delete. I have no idea how to get my start bar and desktop back. It seems to not want to load it. Does anybody no where the icon that puts you straight back to desktop is located?

You may have a corrupt registry or a virus.  Try this command in the task manager "explorer.exe" if not, try running the pc in safe mode and run your antivirus program to check for any viruses. If that doesnt work try creating a boot disk from a friends pc.  then type regedit/restore to restore ur pc to an earlier date. If that doesnt work try the microsoft website.

I'm 20 years old, Ive had arthritias for 18 years, my doctor told me when i was 18 that i would need a knee replacement on my right knee, is there any other good option? I cant go to the store and walk around for long then I always have to sit down for 20 minutes. is anyone thinking about getting a knee replacement or anyone already have gotten one and do you regret getting it and how long did the pain from the surgery last for?

You are so young to be having this problem, but my sister h had her left knee done on Feb 06, and will be having surgery on her right knee on May 30, 06. She is doing wonderful and looking forward to getting her legs back to where she can walk again. Like you , she had to use a wheel chair or not walk at all. Just listen to your doctor, and I will keep you in prayer for fast healing. God Bless You. Just trust in the Lord. He will help you through it.

When a sound you make or a massage device vibrates your skull digital displays on VCR's DVD players, stereo's, and the like bounce up and down like mad... every number going in a different direction. Yet at the same time, everyone else in the room looks still.  I am just wondering what cuases this.

It's due to the way in which your eyes percieve light. Focus is determined by a point of reference. If your friend that you are looking at is the point of reference, they will appear as if they are not moving.\n\nThis is similar to when it looks, in a car, as if you are going backwards when the truck next to you starts moving forward.


I've just started this work out plan that includes me working out every day for an hour. I do not eat a lot what so ever, in fact I think I take in appx 1200 calories a day... I want to lose 10 lbs very quickly, what else do I need to do?

The only way you will lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks is if you eliminate your carbohydrates, eat lots of protein, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day, and that's it. This is what Atkins diet does and you can lose weight very quickly, but you have to know that even if you drop 10 pounds in 2 weeks most of it is water because it is impossible to lose that much real fat in such a short period of time. Check out their website, be strong and stick to it for 2 weeks solid and you will see most of that weight come off. Good luck.


I want to marry my girl friend but she is from tribal religion and to marry her I have to convert myself to her religion.Am agree to convert but for that I had to undergo a nude bath from her mom.\nThe tough part is that me naked locked in room with her because as per the customes she will be rubbing my body(including private body parts) with holy cloth and water 5 times while there will be prayers outside the room.I have never been nude infront of anyone \nand this is serious not a prank as I have already met the priest. well we both love each other so much that I am ready for this.\n\nwhat if my mom-inlaw seduced me ?

I really don't understand the private body parts thing. If this means she will give you a hand job, it must be a cult.


it was a home loan he had all the details because,my husband trusted him,my husband did the favor to let his sister and her husband put a home in his name for a business purpose,home for the handicaped they have three counting the one is in my husbands name and that his brother in law used to get a loan for 73 thousand dollars,he also got a 5 thousand dollar credit card in my husbands name and now we have to go to court,he used all of my husbands personal detail to obtain the home loan and now he is six months behind on the loan payments,my husband know this is a crime we just in shock and don't know where to start,legally we know what to do,but my husbands mom saids that morally this is family and we should bring him no harm,wht are we to do?...

Even if I loved this person I would seek legal justice.  What was done is a crime and unless you go through the courts you cant ever reslove this matter.  That is a large amount of money and it is all going against your husbands name ruining his credit.  Yes it is hard to bring a family member to justice but it must be done to teach him his lesson.  he will just be going to jail not death row.  Dont feel guilty for doing what is nesseccary.  I realize that your mother in law has issues about it but it is  your husbands good name and credit that is being destroyed not her's.  You have to do what  you have to do and she will get over it.


are on this side to try and find someone special. Or do you really want to learn something?

I don't want to meet anyone, just want to read some good answers and share my knowledge.


I just want a bike to go to the store or errands. Maybe short leisurely bike trails around town. Any recommendations?\nThanks

Electra Townies are rather wonderful.  \n\nThose models that are aluminum and have 7 or more gears provide great fun and performance for urban cycling.  Electra also makes an alloy cruiser with at least 7 gears.  \n\nEither of these can be equipped with an aluminum rack and pannier bags to make errands a breeze without adding much weight to the bike. \n\nA rear "blinkie" red light and a front LED headlight, like the Cateye EL400 can extend your range into the evening.  \n\nYou can also add an under-the-seat miniature tool bag to contain an inner tube and a miniature aluminum multi-tool gizmo from the bike store.  \n\nA frame pump (miniature pump that fits on the right side, underneath the water bottle cage and directly in front of the chainrings) allows you to get a minimum safe amount of air into a flat tire, so there's no walking.  Of course, don't forget the aluminum water bottle cage for when you get thirsty.  \n\nThe Electra Townie appears to be a short distance leisure ride bike, but if you get one in just the right size to fit you, it will be so comfortable that distance or even long distance rides are no bother at all.  Why?  The Townie is a European style bike of a design that replaces a car in many countries.\n\nMost of this price range comes with medium-grade derailleurs.  Every few months, some cable adjustment may be necessary until all of the new parts get stretched out to fit each other.  \nWhile you're at the bike store getting fitted for the appropriate size, DO have them demonstrate to you how to align a rear derailleur.  \nIt goes like:  "Adjust the cable lenth by turning this little dial/collar until all of the middle gears shift right, next adjust the L screw until the smallest one shifts right, and lastly adjust the H screw until the biggest one shifts right." Eventually, the economy factory shift cable will become a stable length and only mis-behave during near-freezing temperatures.  \n\nIf you don't want to put up with shift cables that stretch as with any bike in this price range, there's no need to pay an extra $1000 for a less comfortable bike that just happens to come with a better cable.  The first time it happens, just have your shift cable replaced with high-performance cables that don't stretch.  This is inexpensive.\n\nAnother issue that faces bikes priced under $1000 is that the brake pads can eat right through the rims in the first year.  At $22 for all 4 pads, Kool Stop brake pads will give you trouble free performance without eating the rims.  So, have your economy brake pads replaced with Kool Stop MTB (MTB version is very quiet) before you leave the store.\n\nSo, the only flaws of the Townie are shared with most bikes of its price range and most bikes that are double its price.  Brake pads that eat rims and a shift cable that stretches when new are both inexpensive and easy to replace.  So, do it and enjoy the bike.  \n\nSimilar bikes are also available from Schwinn and Raliegh/Diamondback, while Trek offers several much slower alternatives. \n\nAbove all, get yourself sized and fitted before purchasing a bike.  A basic sizing is usually free from the store that would sell you a bike.  Lastly, test drive the correct size Townie and several similar products before making the purchase.  \n\nGet the one that is the most fun!


I need conservation method of land pollution or in other words how can be land pollution prevented.

''Conservation of land pollution''?\nYou must mean conservation of land, free of pollution.\nObviously is not as simple as the first answer... avoid fertilizers and you'll avoid food.\nBesides there are lot of organic fertilizers if that's your concern... not cheap or practical though.\nMain thing to do is to use non residual herbicides, or at least the less residual ones.\nSame with insecticides, avoid the ones that contain mainly Cl.\nDo not burn straw, kills all the bacterias and worms.\nPlant forestall curtains, etc


I don't get this at all...\n"given the chemical equation:\n        4NH3+5O2--->4NO+6H2O\n4 moles NH3 + 5 moles oxygen yields 4 moles NO + 6 moles water\nhow many moles of NH3 are required to produce 5.5 mol of NO?" \nI DON'T GET THIS AT ALL!

So, how many moles of NH3 do you need to produce one mole of NO?\n\nThen multiply that number by 5.5, to get the number of moles of NH3 to produce 5.5 moles of NO.

Simple Answer:\n\nHe never fouled up. The Bible distinctly say He was God and perfect and therefore incapable of screwing up.\n\nBut from my own human perspective His biggest mistake would have to be allowing judas iscariot to betray Him. If He stopped him then they never would have captured Jesus...He never would have been crucified...and we would all still be in our sins separated from God and all going to hell and deserving it because humanity is the biggest pool of refuse that could ever have been concocted. \n\nBut...as it turns out God is a lot more merciful and loving than I am and decided to die for us so that we could live with Him forever and fulfill our purpose...Good thing too, if it were up to me we'd all be burning...\n\nhope this helps.

If the pH of an acid rain storm is approximately , how many times greater is the  H+ in the rain than in a cup of coffoe having a ph of 5?

The pH of acid rain can be anything less than the pH of normal rain, which actually tends to be around 5-6 (rather than 7 as you might expect).  There's no magic pH at which it becomes acid rain; it just depends on how much acid is around.  Sometimes the pH can be as low as 2, or even 1, other times it will be more like 3 or 4, it really just depends how much pollution there is.  If you want us to find the concentration of H+ in the acid rain, you have to tell us what pH you're thinking of!\n\nAs for the coffee thing, you should be able to figure that out yourself for any given pH using the formula pH = -log[H+] and solving for [H+].


I want to protect some of my file on my computer. I don't any other person to open them. How can I protect them? I don't want to hide them.

If you don't care whether the file is visible or not and just want to prevent others from accessing its contents, the best solution is to encrypt it. Do *not* use ZIP archives, because the cipher they use is weak and can be broken.\n\nIf the file resides on an NTFS file system, the easiest way to encrypt it is to use the built-in encryption capabilities of Windows. To determine whether the file resides on an NTFS files system, do the following:\n\n1) In Explorer, right-click on the drive on which the file resides and select Properties from the menu that pops up.\n\n2) On the General tab of the dialog that will be displayed, find the "File system" label (it's just beneath the "Type" label). If the file system is "NTFS", you have what is needed. If it is "FAT32" (or "FAT") or something else, then you'll need a different solution; more about it later.\n\nNote that only Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP support NTFS file systems; Windows 95 and Windows 98 do not. (Although just because you are using a version of Windows that supports NTFS does not necessarily mean that this is the file system of the disk where the file is; you still need to check using the above method.)\n\nIf you have determined that the disk on which the file you want to protect is uses the NTFS file system, you can protect the file using the following procedure:\n\n1) Right-click on the file in Explorer.\n\n2) Select Properties from the menu that pops up.\n\n3) On the General tab of the dialog that appears, click on the Advanced button.\n\n4) A new dialog will appear. Check the checkbox marked "Encrypt the contents to secure data".\n\n5) Click the OK buttons to close the dialogs.\n\nIf the disk on which the file resides does not use the NTFS file system, you'll need third-party encryption software.  Be aware that most crypto programs written by amateurs (and even most crypto programs sold by software companies) are weak and easily broken by a determined attacker. It is best to stick with programs which are available in source and have been inspected for vulnerabilites for years. One such program is PGP. Although designed mainly for message encryption using public key cryptography, it can be used to encrypt files using conventional cryptography too. However, if you have more than one file you want to protect, it is better to create a whole encrypted volume (like a disk partition), on which to store these files. PGPDisk is ideal for that, although TrueCrypt is reasonably good too.

I agree with the sentiments - I'm tired of my tax money printing in Spanish and paying for illegals.  I don't think the letter will help much though, especially since it's obviously copied from a "please forward" email and will go in his spam box.


This is in regards to firepay.com. I had an account with them. I cancelled the account on March 7th. Between March 7 and March 30th there were over $9000 in electronic checks that were debited from my bank account. I reported these to the bank, and they found that I did not owe the money and replaced it (sent it back to the company. I used firepay to fund a online gaming site, whereas I would maybe gamble $100 a month, and wanted it closed. The company (firepay) will not work with me, they say they are suing me for check writer fraud. My bank replaced the money and said I was not liable. I am really scared here. Since, I closed the account on March...how can they claim that I owe them! I think they committed fraud by taking my money. I have changed all of my passwords, email, etc.. in case someone broke into that, but the company is leaving me threathing emails and messages ...like we will do anything 'no matter the length'...this is very threatening. It can range from using to beating

Get a lawyer. The lawyer should write a letter for you stating the facts, setting forth the evidence, note that the bank has agreed with your interpretation, and threatening to countersue unless the cease harassing you.\n\nYou could do all this, but they will take it seriously from a lawyer, and kick it to their own legal department.  Once that happens, someone serious will assess your claims, and probably decide that 1) you are right, and 2) it isn't worth the cost to chase you.\n\nMake sure you keep good records of all contacts you initiated, and all messages you get from them.  \n\nI am confused about one thing -- if your bank cancelled the checks from you, then you still have the money.  That is why they are threatening to sue you.   If, on the other hand, the bank somehow put money back into firepay, then firepay has no problem, since they have all the money.  I don't think this happened -- banks stop checks, but don't give money away.

How much would you pay to learn about susbtitute teaching, have access to lots of printable forms, and much more?\n\n\nI am creating a course and trying to decipher what I will charge. Be reasonable. It will be very valuable information and help any sub.

It's a good idea, I think, but... \nI started subbing 3 years ago, and the majority of new information I learned came only from my college courses for teacher certification.  You are bold, because you will be competing with schools that offer the same information, as well as state certification which makes subs eligible for higher pay and possibly a full-time teaching job.  \n\nThat said, I would not pay for information for subs online.  I would likely question the reliability, and I would also suspect that sites like, edweek.com and teachers.net also have the same information available for free.  Subs usually do not receive any training, and if they are interested in training, they probably would be interested in teaching full time (and thus, they would seek the teacher certification).


Everyone keeps talking about how immigrants do the hard labor that americans won't do. But at what cost? They use our Educational system, Health System, Welfare, etc, and rarely pay taxes on income. So our kids are in 40+ classrooms, hospitals are jammed and going bankrupt, and welfare is giving everyone our tax dollars and the government is spending our retirement money on these issues. We need legal immigrants, responsible people who can enhance our country. People who want to be here and who will fight for our country if needed. This is the land of freedom and opportunity, but there are laws and rules to protect our quality of life. The way we are going, we will soon be equal to or less than most 3rd world countries. We can't keep absorbing these people and expenses and expect our children to have any future at all. I'm not a hater, I married a brazilian, but we did it the right way.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years. \n\nIf you go to a country and refuse to assimilate, continuing to speak your own language then you are really not an immigrant -- you're a colonist ... and that's what the Mexicans are doing, they're colonizing the American Southwest as part of their "reconquista" Read about mecha in the link I provided and you'll see what the Mexicans real agenda is.\n\nhttp://www.americanpatrol.com/MECHA/MEChAindex.html\n\nMost Mexicans believe the Southwestern US rightfully belongs to Mexico; and most believe they should have the right to enter the US without government permission. –Zogby Poll (June 2002)\n\n~~~\n\nHalf of all Mexicans – over 50 million – would move to the US if given the opportunity. –Pew Hispanic Center (August 2005)\n\n~~~\n\n84% of Americans view Mexicans favorably.\n\nBut only 36% of Mexicans view Americans favorably.\n-only 26% of Mexicans say Americans are hard-working.\n-only 16% say Americans are honest.\n-and 73% say Americans are racist.\n\n-Zogby Poll (March 2006)\n\n~~~\n\nThe prohibitive cost of providing illegals with free healthcare has shut down more than 60 hospitals in California since 1993; many more are on the verge of closing. –Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons (Spring 2005)\n\n~~~\n\nIllegals enter this country without health screening. Consequently, epidemic diseases from our past – polio, tuberculosis, plague, leprosy – are on the rise.\n\n~~~\n\nIllegals consume $69 billion in social services annually. –Rep. Russell Pearce (AZ)\n\n~~~\n\nAccording to the US Census, 96% of the increase in public school enrollment is due to immigration.\n\n~~~\n\nThe Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that children of illegal immigrants cost public schools $28.6 billion annually.\n\n~~~\n\nIllegal immigrant labor depresses wages for American citizens by $200 billion a year. –Lou Dobbs, US News & World Report (01/31/05)\n\n~~~\n\nThe cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer is $55,000 per illegal. –Center for Immigration Studies (July 2001)\n\n~~~\n\nAccording to the US DEA, 92% of the cocaine sold in the US comes in through Mexico (2004) as does 65% of meth and a majority of marijuana.\n\n~~~\n\nIllegal immigrants (ab


History of the Crips\nThe Crips were founded by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Williams argued that this was after the two became fed up with random violence in their neighborhood. Law enforcement officials dispute this, pointing to the extremely large number of violent crimes involving the gang members, even in early years.\n\nAlong with friends, Washington and Williams gathered with the initial intent of continuing the revolutionary ideology of the 1960s. These aspirations were unendurable because of a general lack of political leadership and guidance. Washington and Williams were never able to develop an agenda for social change within the community and instead became obsessed with protecting themselves from other gangs in the community.\n\nThe original name of the gang founded by Raymond Washington in 1969 at the age of 15 was the Baby Avenues, derived from a gang of older boys in the 1960s, named the Avenue Boys with their turf on Central Avenue in East Los Angeles. This evolved to Avenue Cribs and then Cribs as nicknames for the age of the members. The name Crips was first introduced in the Los Angeles Sentinel newspaper in a description by crime victims of young men with canes, as if they were crippled (though there is some discussion that it may have initially been a simple spelling mistake). The name stuck.\n\nIn addition to co-founding the gang in 1971, Williams started his own gang called the Westside Crips. The Crips became popular throughout southern Los Angeles as more youth gangs joined it; at one point they outnumbered non-Crip gangs by 3 to 1. In response, some of the besieged smaller gangs formed an alliance that later became the Bloods.\n\nContrary to popular misconception, Crip sets do not feud solely with Bloods, but also other Crip sets — for example, the Rollin' 60s and 83rd Street Gangster Crips ("Eight-Tray") have been rivals since 1979, and their rivalry is currently the largest in L.A.\n\nThe Crips gang has expanded rapidly around the world with many Crip and Blood gangs in a number of countries.\n\n\nThe Bloods were formed in response to the growth of the Crips, which at one point had outnumbered non-Crip gangs by 3 to 1.[2] When several members of the LA Brims, Black P. Stones, and the Pirus were killed by Crips in 1973, the embattled gangs met to form an alliance called the Bloods. Knowing that the Crips used the color blue to identify each other, this group decided to use an opposing color, red, to identify each other. Today, groups located in the territories once held by these older gangs will use Piru or Stones in the name of their set. An estimate by the National Alliance of Gang Investigators Association or NAGIA states that the Bloods and Crip gangs control 35% of the illegal drug trade.\n\nDuring the 1990s, there were reports of Bloods gang members in New York City. The UBN, United Blood Nation, was founded by O.G. Mack, who had been sent to Rikers Island, New York City's largest jail facility. While in New York, these groups became infamous for various slashings of non-gang members in an attempt to emulate the LA sets. Abdul Sev Kabah, member of Red Family-Black P. Stones, was responsible for educating many of these new gangs and stopping the random slashing. [3]\n\nFollowing several months of gang violence that killed 40 people, the Tookie Protocol For Peace was negotiated between the Bloods and the Crips in May of 2004. Former Crips member and founder, the late Stanley Tookie Williams helped negotiate the "perpetual peace treaty".[4]\n\n\nCholo\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nCholo is also an alternate name for the Emberá languages. \nCholo is a Spanish term of Latin American origin.

If one has a wart, one would go to a dermatologist.\n\nIf one had a foot bone problem, one may see an orthopedist.\n\nSo what does a podiatrist do then?

A podiatric physician, or podiatrist, (North American English), or chiropodist (British English), is a podiatric professional, a person devoted to the study and treatment of disorders of the foot and ankle and lower extremity by all systems and means. Translated literally, chiropody refers to medicine of the "hand and foot", but today chiropody is merely another name for podiatric medicine & surgery. In the United States both terms were used interchangeably until the mid-twentieth century.\n\nPodiatrist\n\nWhat does a Podiatrist do?\n\nPodiatrists prevent, diagnose and treat diseases and deformities of the foot. A Podiatrist will obtain medical histories, use physical diagnostic methods, employ x-rays and laboratory tests. Minor surgical procedures are performed in the office, while major surgical procedures are done in the hospital. Podiatrists may not amputate the foot or toes nor may they administer a general anesthetic. They are also limited to the use of non-surgical means to treat leg muscles and tendons relating to foot action. Podiatrists may provide: 1) flexible casting or immobilization for foot and ankle fractures and sprains; 2) mechanical devices to correct walking patterns or balance; and 3) medical treatment to cure and/or control foot problems, including corns and calluses. They may prescribe drugs, physical therapy, or proper shoes. They refer patients to appropriate Medical Doctors if they observe symptoms of other medical disorders such as diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease. Some Podiatrists do research in hospitals and education centers.

How do they make the person now able to have sex? I mean, do they create a vagina, if so how? also is sex enjoyable? It's just something that iv'e always wondered lol.

I've watched a show on TV on this topic, the surgeon tries to imitate the look of a vagina and uses the skin of the penis and tries his best to give the person as much feeling as possible, but with any surgery of that sort, some of the feeling is gone....but it is not only physical,some of the enjoyment is psychological.....


A home owner fiananced $120,000.  After the first year, he has paid $13,960.00 in interest and $1,040.00 in principal.  After the first year, what portion of his loan is paid off.  The answer according to my math book is .866%, but I don't understand how this answer was derived.  What is the formula to calculate this?  Please help me understand this.  Thanks.

The formula for this calculation is as follows: \n(Principal paid / total financed) X 100.\n(1040.00/120,000) X 100.


i am 5'6" weigh 130lbs, and can bench press 70lbs... Do you think that a very strong athlete such as Michelle wie or Maria Sharapova would have been stronger than me, even when they were quite young?

yes.\nI knew a girl once, she was no more than fifteen and she could beet anyone at arm wrestling. full grown men over twice her age stood no chance.\nShe didn't even look very muscular, that's the surprising thing, she appeared thin and frankly a little weedy. It's only if she hit you you'd find out that wasn't true.


I got a ticket for driving to close to someone, what a joke!Does anyone know what its like to fight a ticket? Does the cop show up? How long do you get to tell your side of the story?

Sure the police officer shows up. call him or her what you want although COP is not an appropriate term for a police officer. there had to be a reason why he/she wrote you for following too close. you must have been involved in an accident or were following to close to emergency vehicles because those are the only two reasons why they do it. He/she will be in court and you get to tell your side to the judge and the city attorney will be there also and he/she will rake you over the coals so if you are not an attorney and you are serious about fighting the citation take an attorney with you otherwise you will be standing there with your mouth open when the judge finds you guilty and not only makes you pay the ticket but court costs also. You can also ask for a trial by jury but you have to go before the judge to do that too so now the cost of taking time off or showing up half a dozen times and visits to the court add up. Unless of course YOU decide to COP a plea and take defensive driving instead of a citation or deferred adjudication if you are eligible for it. Talk to the court clerk. the number is on the back of the citation and I suspect the Police officer might have even circled it for you. I know I do.
