THERE ARE NO HEROS AND VILLAINS IN ROMEO AND JULIET JUST ORDANARY FLAWED HUMAN BEINGS. WHAT ROMEO'S FLAWS, JULIETS FLAWS, AND FRIAR LAWRENCES FLAWS.

Friar Lawrence is the easiest place to start - he hides the wedding from their families in the hope that this will 'turn your households rancour into pure love' - think about his job as a (catholic) priest - he should be trying to bring the families together as soon as possible and not enabling the children (Juliet is only 13) to go behind their parent's backs. Once again he shows himself in the guise of a deceiver by proposing the sleeping potion in order to fake Juliet's death - surely he would have done better to go and tell the families of the marriage then?\n\nRomeo marries Juliet days after being spurned by another girl - Rosaline - scientists now suggest it takes a year t fall in love with someone so surely he is just marrying Juliet out of lust.\n\nBoth Romeo and Juliet allow themselves to be controlled by others - Shakespeare in the opening chous refers to them as star crossed - suggesting they are controlled by fate but then is that what you expect from a hero and heroine? Our hero's are people who we admire for their strength and courage - do Romeo and Juliet's actions fit with this?\n\nPerhaps the central flaw is` that the characters allow themselves to be controlled by others - just as Shakespeare himself was controlled by his patrons.


How can you tell if a girl respects you as a person or if they like you for who you are, not necessarily like you or are attracted to you. Or if people in school will respect you as a person.

well i am 22 year female. here is how you can tell that i respect a man is by if i say can i look that? if he says no then i say i respect that, and go no futher than that. A girl/woman will ask before doing an action.

Once in a while, I will get a sharp pain in the lower mid section of my back on the right side.  It will last for usually around eight hours and the only thing that makes the pain go away is rubbing it.  It also occurs for the most part before my period starts but sometimes it's just random.  Is there a connection?  Is this something possibly serious?

Do you have dark yellow urine? You could have a kidney infection (they are located in your lower back on right and left side) or you could have kidney stones. As a stone passes, it can cause intense short term pain until passed. You need to see a doctor and have a kidney ulrasound done


I am 65 year old, semiretired. I made $10K so far this year and do not need this $( my wife is still working).Should I invest this 10K in IRA, pay off my mortgage @ 5% or dip into my 401K to pay off the mortgage

You should use 4000 to put into a ROTH IRA.  You can put another 4000 in a ROTH IRA for your wife.  If you are taking advantage of the tax deduction of mortgage interest, your interest rate is effectively 4%, so it probably makes more sense to invest rather than pay off your mortgage.\nYou might want to put your 2000 into municipal bonds which will give you tax-free income.


I heard that everytime a fly lands, it lays eggs. So when a fly lands on your arm, is is laying eggs?  And also is it true that flys only live for one whole day (24 hours)?

No, flies definitely don't lay eggs every time they land.  They lay their eggs in suitable locations, and even more importantly, only the female flies actually lay eggs, so about 50% of the flies that land on you will never, ever lay eggs under any circumstances.


PLEASE!!! Major crisis with my guy anyone who knows their stuff.  Please educate me.

So, you are a Virgo and he is a Cancer. I can see how you'd be friends for a long time. Earth and Water are very complimentary. But, in a relationship things can be different -- for the water man. Here is what I think you need to be: sensitive. But! You've got to know that your cancer boy can be a "lil bitch' sometimes. No offense, but Cancer men to be super sensitive to the point of being bitchy. If you can just accept that then you should be alright. I mean, honestly, with a Cancer, I dont really think that talking is necessarily the solution. You need to try to feel this one out, and ride the waves you earthling. :) Trust your friendship and you should be alright in the relationship (if you two are both normal level headed peeps)


I'm trying to educate myself about British politics.  I've been poking around on the British Conservative Party's website, looking to get a sense of what they're all about.  I see that they like to be green, which I like, but I can't find any other big picture motivations.  Do they have a manifesto somewhere that I could read?  What do you think of that David Cameron fella?

Obviously, the Tories want to run the country! Right now there isn't much between the two main parties - they tend to criticise the other without actually saying much. I guess the last Conservative leader who actually had a specific ideology was Margaret Thatcher. But she was loved and hated equally.\n\nThere's a bit of a difference between what Americans would term conservatism and what the British would say. Convervatives here are more subtle - you wouldn't find them outlawing abortion or the teaching of Darwinism in schools, for instance. It's more about letting the economy do it's own thing as opposed to Labour who are more socialist.\n\nDavid "just call me Dave" Cameron seems to be alright. He makes a big thing of playing down his public-school middle class image (here the term public school means private, not state funded, don't ask!) which others tend to rib him about. The lastest Green drive seems to be a publicity thing. Only a couple of weeks ago Labour launched a campaign calling him a chameleon for changing policies so often - claiming that he's gone from 'blue' ie tory to green, red - labour and yellow - liberal democrat in copying their policies.


I wish to find out what the global definition of a zoo is. i.e. what is a zoo designed to do.

A zoo is a public or private park where living animals are kept for exhibition and study. The menageries and aviaries of China, Egypt, and Rome were famous in ancient times. From the late medieval period many rulers had private menageries, some of which later formed the nucleus of public exhibits. Nearly all large cities now have zoological reserves. Notable ones include those of London (Regent's Park), Paris (Jardin des Plantes and Jardin d'Acclimatation, Bois de Boulogne), Berlin (Tiergarten), Toronto (Metro), New York City (Bronx), Chicago (Lincoln Park and Brookfield), Cincinnati, Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and San Diego (Balboa Park). Modern trends include breeding endangered animals in captivity (some have been reintroduced into the wild), exhibiting animals in enclosures simulating their natural habitat rather than in cages (open-range zones or safari parks), and educating the public about the principles of ecology.


I hope you've not been ravaged by one.  I have seen numerous funnel clouds, but never a real tornado.  (I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma)

On May 9, 2003, just a few years after the tornado hit Moore and Oklahoma City, another hit Moore in almost the same path.  The next night, a tornado hit my hometown (Bethany, OK) and ran right by my house.  I was working for a college newspaper and decided to cover the damage that night.  When I left the house and got into my car, I turned towards the tornado and saw it rip through NW OKC.  Something I hope to never see again.


first i hve taken a home loan for 20 yrs tenure say at 11.25 % floating rate of interest, later on it was converted to less than 20 yrs based on the revised rate of interest which was lower than 11.25%. now again i am interested to go into an agreement of 10 yrs loan tenure. can you advise me whether it is advisable to do so ?

It is always adviable to get the shortest loan term possible, that way you pay the least interest.  In case changing your loan term will result in any complications, the bank told me that I could turn my 30 year loan into a 15 year loan simply by making 1 extra full payment towards the principle every year.  So if its easier for you, just pay extra and leave the loan as it is.  You will still be better off in the long run.


There is a lot of emphasis on size in society now. Most men I know would not find an obese woman attractive. But then again most men would not find an anorexic attractive either. Men what is the ultimate shape for a woman in your opinion?

I am a woman, but I have conducted a similar survey myself on the men I know, and just wanted to let you know that they felt that the best figure a woman could have was largish breasts, a nice round bum and long legs. They weren't overly bothered about any tummy, they seemed to like both rounded bellies and flat ones! But definitely, in the same way that no man finds obesity a sexy look, they equally find the sight of loads of bones sticking out a total turn off.


My Fitness trainer asked me to eat white oats, I have them at home but how do i cook them? How is it consumed generally?\n\nPls help! Thanks.

Should say on the box.\n\nEqual amounts of oats and water.  I like to add some raisins to the water.  Boil the water.  Add the oats.  Boil 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.  Add milk.


Gideon asked for a fleece twice &got answers.I asked God for His will for a newsletter I have published since 1992.The problem is that people like reading my poetry& articles but they want the newsletter free.Only a few have been supporting it financially.I wanted to know if I should quit. I sell a product part-time &I asked God to answer by increasing my sales & that of my sales team/organization. That day, the sales was three units/cases.The next day it was seven. Then it climbed to thirteen,seventeen,twentyone; and at the last check it was  at twentyseven- all in one week!My sales are abysmal.People have made promises not purchases.I did ask God for a balance in sales.There is only one day before the end of the month & nothing I can do to create a balance.On top of that,people have been coming to me to tell me how much they like the latest issue.I asked them what they like but they cannot pinpoint anything specialOne person says that the poetry and articles pierces the heart & soul

God wants you to ask Him for your daily wants. It's never wrong. Asking God, shows him that you are including him in your live and this is what he wants.


Many people I know believe that when you shave your legs or arms that the hair grows back thicker and darker. I don't understand why it would. Also, I've heard that when you shed hair from your scalp, each hair you lose grows back three more strands of hair. Another wive's tail that I question.

First of all the shedding hair is totally shenanigans, I wouldn't believe that for a second.\n\nAs for hte shaving hair, I believe it is a wives tale to get their kids to look clean :) Hair growth is caused by chemical hormones in your body, IDK why shaving would effect them. Plus, I don't see any difference when I shave =\


When we first moved to street we live on some kids started throwing rocks and sticks at our car.  They ran by quickly in between our carport and the  house thinking nobody was seeing them do it.  Then I walked outside and caught them and they told me I had no right to say anything to them because we had not lived on that street long enough. (These kids looked about 10 or 12 years old)  I walked across the street to talk to their mother about what they were doing and her reply to me was, "Well, maybe you just don't like black people." She told me that coming over there to her house meant I was some type of racist and I told her, "Lady I don't care if your kids are white, black or purple or orange, I don't want them throwing rocks at my vehicle again.  I hated to do it...but it ended up that I got the local authorities involved because it continued to happen the rest of the week and when I would get in my car to go to work they would throw rocks over and say something profane.

get a cell  phone  and video camera and record the  kids in the act  u already told authorities and the parents  of the kids  so now  take  pic and  install video camera with real time capabilities survalence cams etc all around the out side  of your  house and car , take  pics  of the condition of the car now , and each day if u find a rock near your car pic it  up and  place in a plastic  bag , when u pick it  up   use  a tissue  or  cloth  to do so  using as lil pressure as u can  to pick it  up .  after a week of taping  etc  , review  the tape  if u see where the kids were throwin the rocks at  u etc , call the cops tell them u got it on tape  show them  that u have  some of the rocks etc , make  sure u make an extra  copy of the tape cause the cops may not do anything ,  if there is damage to the car take  more  pics ,  then take the parents  to small claims  court  or even  file a civel law suit  against  the parents  of the kids that r  doing this .


The company and the boss has been good to you and your family, the boss is likewise supportive of your career and growth. But you feel that you need something else in your professional life.

you have to talk directly to your boss, do not send a letter it would make it formal and discourteous specially when taking into account the kind of relations you have with him.\ni would suggest you ask your boss for the notice period he thinks he needs till he gets a replacement. this is the least you can do if he was that good to you and your family. assure him that you would give whatever training needed to the replacing employee or that you would be available anytime they need you or need any information from you.\nbe honest about your reasons for leaving, if he has been that caring so far, i guess he would remain!\ngood luck


Like if someone who belongs to a different religion brings up an interesting point in answer to one of your religion questions or gives the best and most information, do you ever choose that person for best answer?\n\nOr do you only choose people who have the same point of view as you?

Many people who post a question are not seeking an answer. often they just seeking confirmation or trying to make a point. they are going to choose accordingly.\n\ni have voted for answers other than mine. when answers were really good. but many of my best answers are somewhat matching questioner's view. \n\none of questioners wrote a comment after choosing my answer as best yesterday . he  stated that he was accused of being the same person as me. though it was ridiculous accusation. any one who paid any attention would have found out that he is not even indian like i am. he has a christian background and i am hindu. But it shows often the views of questioner and best answerer are quite similar. \n\nBut i can not generalise. i was chosen as best once or twice even when i totally opposed questioner. \n\nI think people when sincerly seeking answers choose what appeals to their logic. people when have an agenda choose views similar to their own.

I get dizzy without my glasses, and I can't see well without them.  My vision has gotten worse and worse.


Hubby and I are seperated (his choice) we were together Monday. Rented a motel room and spent some quality time together I kept it light not asking anything for the entire day and we had alot of fun. The next day before I went back home I had to know where we were? And I asked he said he doesnt look at us as over but he isnt sure he wants to come home either. He said that he wanted to find himself again ( I can understand that I feel the same) and then we could see what happens with us. I asked him point blank if there was someone else or if that was something that he wanted and he said no. I believe him on that. My question is how much time should I give him? I mean I want us back together I love him very much and we have 3 children together. There is some problems that we patched instead of fixing which I agree we need to work on but I dont want to be waiting on him forever either. I want my marriage back and he says that he looks at us as on "hold" for now. Give me some advice?

I WOULD JUST GIVE HIM HIS SPACE, HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE, SO JUST GIVE HIM AS MUCH TIME AND SPACE THAT HE NEEDS AND HE WILL REALIZE WHAT HE HAS AND HE WILL COME HOME.\n\nGOOD LUCK!


Is it possible? I would like to get it in just one eye, and if it doesnt cause any blinding or serious complications, I could get it in my second eye..

Well the answer is YES.  I just wonder what type of eye surgery you are having?  Cataract surgery is always done on one eye at a time.  LASIK or corrective laser surgery is usually done on both eyes at the same time, but often we only do one eye.  A lot of people have different prescriptions in each eye.  It is not uncommon to do a monovision-type of procedure so that one eye sees for distance while the other sees for near.  Also, in regards to the cost, I would think that you could make a deal with the facility in which if you pay up front for both eyes and only have one eye done at a time, you could still get the discounted price.  (just my thinking).  Good luck!!!!


Bit comet has a "preview" button to view any video that you are downloading before its done. This is a great feature that allows you to make sure you are getting what you want. To view the videos you need 1, the correct video player and 2, the correct codex. Some (Real player) videos can only be viewed on "Their players" I use windows media player, quick time, free ace DVXplayer, Win amp and NERO showtime And have not come across anything i can not view. All of these are free except Nero. I try to avoid Windows media files as they seem to be the most commonly corrupted format.


When Jesus mentioned those who are born again (John 3:3), he also mentioned the following:\n1.Born again ones are like the wind. You don't know where they are from nor where they are going. (John 3:8)\n2.Born again ones are "things of the heaven", as compared to those things of the earth. (John 3:12)\n\nThen Peter explained further this way:\nBorn again ones are obedient to the truth. They have been born agains as a children of a parent who is immortal. That they are a CHOSEN race, the King's priests, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God.\n\nQuestions (a) why are those Born again compared to the wind by Jesus, (b) if they are Royal race, therefore there is a common race, right? (c) If they are priests, then they must minister FOR (not to) whom?

Your question is Biblical, so it needs Biblical Answer.\n\nWho are real?\nJohn 3:8 They are like wind--not like sea, or earth. Meaning they are not known easily, unlike the fakes who claim to be. They have inner power just like the wind.\n\nJohn 3:12 They are things--or persons--bound for heaven. They are in contrast with "things of the earth" --meaning persons who shall inherit the earth.\n\n1Peter 1:23; 2:9. They are priestly, or royal class. If they are royalty, then there must be "common ones", or those "things of the earth". (Ps compare with Ephesian 1:10)\n\nRev 5:10. They are brought from the earth, and will rule with Christ to establish paradise earth.\n\nIn short, they will be used by God to rule as kings in fulfillment of that prayer: "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth".\n\nHope this help even a bit.


back together and he is on the verge of getting a divorce. i know that we committed a big sin by sleeping together but no matter who he is with or who i am with we always seems to fall back into each other arms and I don't know how to tell him that I am tired of being the other woman. How do I tell him that without making him upset. I don't want to argue with him. Please help me out.

just explain that you do not want to be the other woman. you love him and want to be with him and for him to be only yours.


Especially when you hold a laser pointer...it never stays still.

The blood pulsing through your hand causes vibrations or shaking and changes in size too. So as long as you have a pulse, your hands, feet, face, everything will continue to move.

What's up with all of the fake degrees?  This has certainly set the stage for the denigration of authentic, accredited online education.  I've read news articles concerning educational achievement in the modern age, and some studies show that more people are reporting bachelors degree level education than ever before in history....is this a bunch of bull?  I can say that employers are generally looking for the "entry level" employee, and prefer to train them, rather than pay a higher salary for a college education.  I have also spoken to others that told me their employers do not recognize "online" degrees.  Perhaps this is due to ignorance, laziness on the employees part, or because of all of the pay for the degree scams. Are the people with real education getting set aside due to all of the fraudulent activity?\n\nJoel

If you have a degree from an accredited University, then you have made a great and arduous journey.  Online education is now a part of almost every major university in one form or another.  As education moves forward, online classes will become more of a norm.  If you have ever taken one from an accredited program, you know that they are no joke.  They require a level of discipline that only you can provide.  But they are also giving people the opportunity to get an education they would not otherwise have.  \n\nI do believe that the number of people with bachelor's degrees is increasing, because a bachelor's degree is required in more fields than ever before.  There are more people enrolled in post secondary education than ever before.  Its just the natural evolution of things.  So as students, we must commit to a lifetime of education to remain competetive in the marketplace.  I plan to have at least 3 masters degrees in my lifetime.  I start my MBA program in August.  I have put a lot of thought into this matter.\n\nWhen an employer doesn't recognize an online institution as legitimate, that is their decision.  They may think that without the classroom, an education is just not the same.  they may not understand the standards that are set for an online education to be accredited.  \n\nFake degrees have been a problem for a long time, and it is true that the online thing can facilitate the fake degrees.  its sad, but true.  So employers need to be warey.  \n\nJust remember that the education you recieve is worth more than just a piece of paper.  You represent your education.

they bent down? dont they feel embarrassed everybody can see their underwear?


Did any of them share a common religion?

Nope, they were polytheist and thus believed in several divinities \n\nIn some ways Roman religion is a lot like Greek religion, but in other ways it is very different. Like the Greeks, the Romans thought that there were many gods, and that these gods each controlled different parts of the world: storms, the ocean, marriage, blacksmithing, and so forth.\n\nThe Romans were particularly interested in power, and much less interested in balance than the Greeks.\n\nThe chief of the gods, for the Romans, was Jupiter. His name is related to the name of the Greek god Zeus, and Jupiter is similar to Zeus in many ways. They are both sky gods who throw lightning bolts when they are angry. \n\nHope this helps


I feel it works 100% Live by the gun, you die by the gun. How do you feel?

Texas has the highest number of death row inmates and kill more criminals per year than any other state yet they have a higher than average crime rate.  So does it work no, not really. On the other hand do I believe in it.. yes I do 100%. If you kill some one your life is no longer yours. Plus it is so much cheaper for the taxpayers. They just need to hurry up the process and let criminals have less apeals, and quit bogging down the court system on deadmen walking. Kill them already. If they were innocent they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I am connected through a router but my other computer is also connected through the router but works fine.  I can not reach many webpages and none of the ims work either, aim, yahoo, msn and so on. Certain webpages dont work as well such as yahoo mail and msn hotmail.  It is only one the one computer connected through the router, the others are fine.

what operating system are they both running? has it worked before? Were there any recent system changes? I'm thinking it might be a difference in the configuration and all...but I'm not really sure. I need more information to determine the problem.\n\nactually...if it's only certain webpages and all and you've already been there before...it might very well be that those pages are cached (temporarily stored on your hard drive), in that instance...instead of going online to the page, it simply loads from your hard drive instead.\n\ndo a virus scan. also check your firewall settings on that computer. hope that helps


I have had such a funny day out in London running around phone boxes, crawling on the ground, just trying to embarass myself basically, but no one pays attention, why don't Londoners have a sense of humour?

From my experience, the English are aloof - they do their own thing and they are not proactively friendly.  This is NOT to say that they are boring or mean.  It's just that they don't go out of their way to be friendly nor wish to display excitement.  Stoicism at its finest.


I have 2 computers at home, using DSL, both hooked up at the router box(not sure if that is what it's called). We want to play Wolfenstein: ET on the same server. But as soon as one goes on, the other tries but cant go on to the same server. So is there anyway to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

hello ! it's about the router ... if it is a cheap one with basic NAT, you need to upgrade to a router with enhanced NAT capabilities. Sorry, there is no other solution ...


I've just read a question saying that the big bang never occured and there were loads of people agreeing with whoever said it.  I thought we had left behind the days of believing the earth was flat etc.  Is this really what they teach in America?  Is there anyone who agrees with me?  If not I'm going to stop using this site as I'll know its just bible bashers using the site to preach nonsense to weak minded fools.

Dude chill it's just those bible thumpin jesus freaks trying to prove god exists.

I just finished "Dead Man Walking" (awesome), and I was wondering as Sean Penn walked down death row, minutes from execution: are them some convicts that are so desperate to delay their death, that they would kill (headbutt, choke, etc.) a guard or someone nearby in order to do so (to get a new trial)? I'm sure there has to be some sort of procedure for this sort of rare possibility. Will he be put on trial for another murder, or does the case go ignored and does he immediately procede to the originally scheduled execution? I mean there's the possibility of a trial after his execution for the dead guard, but it doesn't make sense to have a trial where you're trying to convict an already dead man. Complicated question, I know. I want a VALID answer for this one too, if there is indeed a REAL answer for it.

In this case, the death sentence would have to be set down until the new charges were heard . Then the first sentence could proceed. But it would depend in which state the offender was being held in USA. \nMany persons offend while on bail awaiting trial. Many are accused of further crimes while they are in goal. Each offence has to be tried and judged upon in isolation to another.


I read that a few years ago ten young girls were hanged in Iran for being Baha'is. But I also know that the Baha'is are law abiding.  What puzzles me most is that they respect Quran and Mohammed as Messenger of God like all other Messengers.  So why do Muslim clergey hate them so much?

The Baha'is are prosecuted in Iran because the Muslim Clergy and the religious leaders claim that Bahá’u’lláh is a false prophet and the regilion He founded is also false. \n\nEach individual is responsible to decern truth for his or her self.  And to acertain the truth of the Baha'i Faith, one must read the revealation of Bahá’u’lláh written in His own hands and stamped with His own seal.  Once you've read the wiitings then one must ask him or her self does this make sense or not? Search your heart and your mind and make your decision or you may  want to study more and seek out other writings for or against the Faith.  You may also want to talk to others, Baha'is or other people from other religion.\n\nIts up to you to decide what you want to believe or not.  God's creations and plans move on independent of any of His creatures. The progresses made in creation are done inspite of opposition, believers and non believers.  The ever-advancing civilization marches on and on...  \n\nSeek and you will find...


people who watch tv are more talented visually, its their heightened preference whereas musicians favour hearing and are quick to learn languages being very good communicators/ polititions and journalists this is basic iam sure there are exceptions any thoughts?

I'm not sure which would actually be the cause of the other.  Perhaps those who are more visually oriented are drawn to entertainments such as TV or movies, while those whose auditory abilities are keener are more drawn to music and communication.


Why can't whiteys or brownies do it?  Only black girls can do the but jiggle dance where they stick their butts out and jiggle it.  Like in the old Juvenile video.

Catholics talk about the second coming of Jesus to this world and that itll happenn soon but Mormons say it already happenned and that he came to South American and visited the natives there.

Though Mormons believe that Christ visited the Americas, they don't believe it was his "Second Coming" as is spoken of in the Bible. Rather, it was a visitation to another group of people as he said he was doing in John 10:16 "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd." \n\nChrist very well could have visited more than just the Americas--but that is the only other place that we have a record of (in the Book of Mormon). \n\nInterestingly enough, John 10:16, the Book of Mormon, and Mormon beliefs are just some of the evidences that Christ visited the Americas. The native Mayan people that inhabited the Americas have many beliefs and traditions handed down to them that tell the story of a man named Quezalcóatl. The name (translated literally) and the story bears striking resemblance to Christ and the story that the Mormons believe. \n\nHere is a list of the similarities as collected by Historian Joseph Allen. He takes the Mormon account of Christ (listed first after each statement) and compares it with the Mayan recorded account (listed second after each statement. \n\n1. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl were recognized as creator of all things. (Mosiah 4:2; Saenz 1962:19, 40)\n\n2. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl were born of virgins. (Alma 7: 10; Gamiz 95)\n\n3. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl are described as being white or as wearing a white robe. (3 Nephi 11:8; Torquemada 47)\n\n4. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl performed miracles. (3 Nephi 26:15; Sejourne 136‑137)\n\n5. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl taught the ordinance of baptism. (3 Nephi 11:23; Irwin 1963:170)\n\n6. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl prophesied of future events. (Ixtlilxochitl: 40)\n\n7. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl were universal as opposed to just being recognized as local gods. (3 Nephi 16: 1; Sejourne 1962)\n\n8. A great destruction was associated with both Christ and Quetzalcoatl at exactly the same time period in history. (3 Nephi 8:5; Ixtlilxochitl: 40)\n\n9. The cross was a symbol to both Christ and Quetzalcoatl. (3 Nephi 27:14; Irwin 1963:165)\n\n10. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl sent out disciples to preach their word. (3 Nephi 12:1; Wirth 1978:55)\n\n11. Both Christ and Quetzalcoatl promised they would come a second time. (2 Nephi 6:14; Sahagun 1:40)\n\n12. A new star is associated with both Christ and Quetzalcoatl. (3 Nephi 1:21; Anales de Cuauhtitlan 7)\n\n13. The children of both Christ and Quetzalcoatl will become lords and heirs of the earth. (4 Nephi 1: 17; Ixtlilxochitl: 40)\n\nAll this is more than just coincidence. As mentioned before, the Mormon book, "The Book of Mormon" is a record of the people (Many of which would be the Mayan and Omecs) in the Americas. Interestingly enough, further archeological research is lending greater evidence to the Book of Mormon. Many cities which are mentioned in the Book of Mormon have been found (described by location), further writings that have been found, and there are many more of the Mayan beliefs that correlate to Mormon beliefs and beliefs found in the Book of Mormon.


when my girls was burn she had a cyst on her lumb we must removed the mass because the doctor make a hool by amastake during the dlivary prosses the surgion takeout after that she have incontenace of urea she cant go to school and for long time she had abd abdominalpain and the urologest said your daughter have nurogenic bllader you must use catteter for empity her bllader we do until now and also make an operation of iliocyctoplasity but the urian is very sepic and bad smil without antibiotics what can i do because she operated in iran but i am living in afghanistan

If she is septic, you must get it treated as soon as possible, before it develops into a lethal condition. You need t get her to a doctor as soon as possible. In the meantime, have her drink as much fluid as possible to help flush the toxins out of her system. Also make sure she is eating well to help heal the infection. Dont delay treatment of this!


I had travis hafner but traded him for jim thome.\n\nwas it a mistake?

not awful, but not great.  I prefer Hafner, but Thome is good as well.  Thome is an injury risk and much older.  Hafner is still maturing as a hitter and probably has a higher upside.  Only time will tell if it was a mistake or not.


My grandson is flunky 7th grade and I wonder if he is automatically put into the 8th grade, considering the Bill stating that "no child shall be left behind"

"no child left behind" means that schools cannot just push students on to the next grades without them knowing the curriculum. yes he can be held back, and it would actually be in his best interest. he wont pass 8th grade (which is where GPA starts to count for college) if he cant pass 7th!


some one can tell, that what is call center out sourcing? and what is required to establish a call center?\n1. Which equipements are required?\n2. How much investment is required?\n3. What else is required?\n\nPlease mention the sites, from where i can get the perfect information.

You only required your brain, and you have to be strong and determine + play lottery, then you will get lots of money, after that you don't need any business. just enjoy your life


I just moved here and I'm bored. Its a beautiful day and I feel like I'm cheating the world by staying inside on the computer. Problem is I don't have much money, so I'm looking for cheap. Keep in mind I'm 23. Thanks

-Go watch some RC car races at Superior Hobbies.\nhttp://www.superiorhobbies.com/\n\n-Go watch the LPGA in Kissimee this weekend.\n\n-Lots of bars downtown.\n\n-Eat at Smokey Bones and hit on some waitresses.  Ask them what to do.  I like the one on 408 near Best Buy.


The reaction below is at equilibrium. Use LeChatelier’s principle to predict the effect of removing nitrogen gas to the equilibrium reaction mixture.\nN2(g) + 3H2(g) = 2NH3(g)

Based on LeChatelier's principle, removing Nitrogen (N2) from the above equation would cause the equilibrium to shift towards the left.


Do you think that the terrorists will eventually take over the world? And do you think that President Bush actually WANTS to protect us?

Terrorists don't want to rule the whole world, they just want to be in control of their own countries.  They attack the US because they think "western influence" is ruining their values, and that we're messing around in their business too much.  Keep in mind that they've said they only attack nations who are active in the Middle East, they don't attack Swedes or I dunno, Ugandans.  \n\nWell, not all terrorists.  Plenty of groups just represent minorities who are getting the shaft from their own government.  And in at least a few cases, they've actually made a difference (Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, for example).\n\nIt's the fanaticism of Middle Easterners that's scary.  And the fact that rather than attacking their own governments and people, they're attacking ours.  \n\nDoes Bush care?  I think he does...no one wants to see American citizens killed.  Does he care as much or more about looking good and living up to his father's reputation?  Probably.


Employer say I'm not fired but I went from working as a tow truck driver with 60-80 hrs. a week down to this is my secong week of 0 hrs. Also he is 4 weeks behind in paying his employees and I'm tired of feeling like I was just hired long enough to keep his business going until he hired more experienced drivers. What to do?

From the information you've given, I strongly recommend documenting everything that happens or is discussed between you and your employer.  It sounds as if this person is in financial trouble and you may have a problem with getting the money you're owed.  \nIf your employer is 4 weeks behind the normal, scheduled pay dates you should first attempt to solve the problem by telling the employer you need your money immediately. I also recommend looking for an alternate method of providing income for your family.  \nIf the employer will not terminate employment, and you have not signed a casual labor contract, you need to speak with a labor relations officer.  This can be done at your local employment insurance office.  It sounds as if you work for a small organization and unfortunately your employer is not interested in taking care of his employees.  \n\nGood luck and remember to follow the proper channels so that you have moral superiority and the law on your side.


Would you cut back on the healthy food at the grocery or even drop health care to be able to just drive to work.

I would think eating out would be a big one...using coupons at the grocery store....getting hair cuts at cosmetology schools instead of parlors....tune up the car...when you got out get multiple things done...walk or ride a bike to errands that are close by....

still unsure if he liked me would he not just say

If he is finding stupid reasons to be near you,just touching you to do  it,tries to make himself seem big and important to you,he likes you.If he is doing these things,talk to him about something,then ask him what he is doing this weekend.Make the move to see him.


I was at the movies with this girl and we ended up holding hands. There was a pinky squeeze from her and I rubbed her hand with my thumb.

It just means that the two of you are comfortable in each others company...there is a trust/bond.  Holding hands also means that you like each other very much.


He was my 1st love, i moved on after everything ended with us..but everytime we meet, he tells me he loves me..i have moved on now but wenever i'm with him..its different. Please someone help!!!

Obsession is dangerous, Look at "Moby Dick".\n\nYou need to let him know that, although there are some wonderful feelings you still have for him (I assume that is the case), it just never worked out. It is time to let go and move on.\n\nIf it gets too weird, you may have to report his as a stalker.

i have to write a book about library and library managment with information systems this is project for my college is my project for fainal

Visit a library and get access to the database Library and Information Sciences. EBSCO publishing (who sponsors EbscoHost Research Databases) has offered it as a free subscription database to any library who already has an EbscoHost account. That tool should allow you to search on your research topic, and in turn, read previous papers on the topic. In turn, you should then be able to write your paper. (And this answer comes from a librarian who has been in the business for 20+ years). Good luck.


can i play basketball in america if i live in wales if yes or no please say why

I was wondering because my 12 year old sister cant see far, and i wanted to know if some eye exercises will improve her vision. Did anybody ever try eye exercising and actually have their eyesight improved?

wow sumbody actually asked. yes it does work. after only two months my doctor saw a significant improvement. my eyes go a little worse but he said the results were amazing! since i am still a preteen, most myopic kids my age would have had almost added half of their already existing prescription. but i have a theory of why my eyes did not improve. last year, i was check with -3.15 . however, i was at that stage when i hated wearing glasses because of my ugly look. so i went completely without my glasses for the whole summer. when i was checked in september 05, my doctor had said i had strained my eyes so much. after two months of eye exercises, my myopia had improved from my state of strain in the summer to what i am now even though it is still a little worse than my prescription 2 yrs ago


that is only if they are proven to be lying???

yes, because being accused of something like that can ruin your life. you can lose you job, your friends, your family, even your freedom. and if it is done just to get back at you or whatever reason that person had, they should pay for it! however it is difficult to prove they are lying. sometimes people don't get convicted when they did rape someone just because there wasn't enough evidence so the accuser should not be punished then.


Well, the japanese had bombed one of the US ships, but they claimed that they did not see the US signs. That action angered the US, thus leading up to Pearl harbor. Yamatato, the  chief of the Military in Japan tried to persuade japan to bomb pearl harbor to see where the war was going. The battles that eventually led up to WWII was the battle of midway, the battles of Iwo Jima. The japanese enventually lost the war. During WWII Japan was a part of the axis powers, with Germany and Italy. After Pearl harbor happened, many many Japanese were sent to Internment camps, in the US, there were 10 total. They were located in California, Arizona, New mexico, Wyoming and i think Nevada(not sure about nevada but others i am positive). that is all that i can think of right now, hope this helped in some way.  :-)


This a famous quote from the bible and I would love to see your answer's to this......

Absolutely no profit if a man gains the whole world using his own methods. Absolute blessings of favor and open heavens for those doing it His way! \n'The blessings of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow to it.' - Proverbs.


he said that it started when he was tearing up a cardboard box and pulled something in his arm and about a half an hour later this started.  It doesn't last all day, but this was about 2 weeks ago that this happened.  He asked the doctor about it and they could figure out what was wrong.  he keeps bringing it up b/c he is worried and I don't know what to tell him.  He is a pretty healthy gut in his 60's.  What could be wrong??

Does he have dizziness, blurred vision, trouble speaking or understanding, trouble walking, numbness or weakness arms, leg (face you stated) especially one side of the body. The pressure he has is it like a sudden severe headache? If he has any of these other signs or symptoms get him to a hospital he could be having a stroke!


Someone gave me this as a puzzle and I don't think there is an answer.

6 2/8 *4  becomes (6 1/4)*4 or 6.25*4=25\n\nShould view it as an elementary school fraction:  6 AND 2 eighths times 4 is 25.


I tried this once, and it's a long process (which I didn't have patience for). Since it's federal, you need to take a test at a certain location in your area. But the first step should be checking out their website and looking at the positions they have available. Good Luck!


Try to explain why there is so much variation in our society.\n\nHow does this compare to 100 years ago?

Some Dude gave a great answer-I would add, just for interest, that the human race has exceedingly little genetic variation compared to other animals.  A recent study showed that an average-sized chimpanzee colony has more genetic variation that the entire human race.  This is presumably because at some point in the recent past (150-200,000 years) our common ancestors existed, and evidently our race must have been very close to going extinct, leaving a very small pool of humans with which to populate the Earth.

is it true that you can lose weight by defecating (i'm not talking about taking laxatives to induce defecation). i'm talking about every day, normal number 2's.

Yup. Your body hold onto about 5-8 lbs. worth of digested food in your intestine. If you were to stop eating it would take about 2-3 days to empty it out, hence losing about 5-8 pounds. But of course, next meal it will creep back.


Steven Gerrard is noticed in every single game!  Sometimes, one could ask "Is Lampard out there today?"  \n\nI'm not a fan of either club, but would take Steven Gerrard on my club any day.  Don't get me wrong, Lampard is a great player, but Gerrard is better.


Be very specific like blacks from the US south as opposed to black from the bahamas or like Italians in america or Italians in Italy.  Please include mannerisms and stereotypes you find to be true.

This is a cultural question, not scientific.\n\nI find the most annoying are ethnic groups that are annoyed by other ethnic groups. the mannarisms of such people are things like self interest and paranoia.


I want to go to both, but which one? I really like Princeton. I also really like Yale. But, Princeton has a better Psychiatry program. But, Yale has better Literature. Which one do I choose? What is the lowest you can get on ur SAT's to get into either?

Very true, Princeton has one of the nation's lowest acceptance rates. A firend of mine just was accepted with a 4.0 at a prestigious high school and an excellent SAT score which I do not recall but will not speculate on. But agreed, if you know someone who is very important you obviously are of value to the school and will have a higher liklihood of acceptance. Also, I recently read that the SAT score is now the most important "section" of a student's life they look at so I recomend something very near perfection.

wire tapping\nlied to american people to go to war\nhas been quoted after 9/11 saying, "find a way to get us into iraq"

1) Why are impeachment hearings not going on for President Bush?\nA) wire tapping\nB) lied to american people to go to war\nC) has been quoted after 9/11 saying, "find a way to get us into iraq"\n\nAnswers:\nA) The wire tapping was legal, and judged so by the courts.  Your efforts to encourage impeachment in a time of war is seditious and a serious condemnation of either the level of your education, or the commitment you have to our country.\nB) Lied? Consider the following: \nKerry, Former President Clinton (during and after his terms), Edwards, Former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the U.N., all of these said Saddam had WMDs (We know he did, we watched him use them on his own people).  President Clinton said in one speech that our experts watched Saddam smuggle weapons out back doors while the U.N. investigators were coming in the front door (during his terms).\n\nThe excuse that they all depended on President Bush's "lie" doesn't work.  President Clinton said Saddam had them before President Bush ever did, and Saddam himself was telling his allies that he had them!\n\nYour seditious rumor that "Bush lied" is seen for what it is by the U.S. citizens, and expect it to be an expensive attempt to undermine our country and our elected leaders.  Not that we will all vote Republican!  I'm a Democrat, but I have no interest in voting for name-calling, seditious, lying representatives who carelessly spread rumors.  I will vote for a Democrat with ethics, or if their isn't one, perhaps whoever has the most ethics in another party.\n\n3) All of us have had enough of people taking sound-bytes out of context.  Do some actual research instead of attacking our country and look at the rest of what the President said.  He did say it.  The U.N. was not getting the job done, Saddam wouldn't allow U.S.A. inspectors to come in.  President Bush wanted to "get into Iraq" to get the job done the U.N. failed to do for a decade.\n\nWe see what you are doing, both Democrats and Republicans.  We know that we (Democrats and Republicans) are not the enemy.  Oh, we disagree, but we stand behind the elected leaders of our country, majority democratic choice, legal dissent and disagreement, and most of all, each other.\n\nWe stand against name-calling of our leaders (Presidents Clinton or Bush, or any other).\n\nWe stand against spreading unfounded rumors and lies.\n\nWe stand against what you are doing.\n\nYou want to actually discuss wire tapping?  Do some research and then dissent, without trying to attack our leader.\n\nYou want to disagree with why we went to war?  Great.  Stop telling us a lie about the President.  He may have been wrong.  That is not a lie.\n\nYou want to quote him?  Quote him in context and at least quote something about the subject you are actually talking about rather than transposing a quote from one subject (getting U.S. inspectors into Iraq) to another (the decision to go to war).\n\nWhat you do sickens us, and our country, literally.\n\nYou may have Free Speech, but so do we.\n\nExpect us to answer you.

I am looking to get my Missouri real estate license, and I want to know where to go to do that. I know I have to take classes and such, I have talked to a realtor when I was living in Indiana about what I would have to do, but now that I am back in Missouri (where I previously was from and grew up, I was only in Indiana for a little while), I am not sure where to sign up for the classes and everything I need. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I want to get started on it.

If this is the case then is it an unproof of the aether?

Yes it is true. It proved that light doesn't need any medium to travel and thus no such thing called aether exists.


TO INCEREASE BODY WEIGHT AND HEIGHT BY SWIMING .

Well, this is a no and yes question.\n\nAs far as increasing height, that is a big no.  Height is predetermined by genetics, diet and hormones.  With hormones, I'm speaking of growth hormone not adrenaline. If you seriously wanted to know tall you are going to grow, you can actually go to a bone specialist.  What they would do is measure the spacing in your joints to give you a good estimation of what your height will eventually be.\n\nWith the body weight, swimming is the best exercise for all the muscle groups in your body.  It is a great way to stay in shape and burn a lot of calories.  What eventually happens is that you start to burn fat in exchange for building muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  That's where you get the weight gain from.  But don't worry! This is a healthy weight gain, so keep it up!\n\nSo in summary, big "NO" to the height.  "Yes" to the weight gain.


You want it all, but you can't have it, it's in your face, but you can't grab it...???

I think it's saying they want everything and it's all right there but they can't have it all. GREAT song by the way regardless if we know what the hell they are talking about!


The book as far as I understand is a standard issue to students of Mayflower School, Ikenne, Nigeria. Launched somewhere in the late 50's by Dr. Tai Solarin. I need the book for research/thesis.

Myth: The Patriot Act simply updated the tools of law enforcement to match the technology used by the terrorists and criminals today.\nReality: The Patriot Act “updated” surveillance powers but failed to “update” the checks and balances needed to ensure those surveillance powers include proper judicial oversight. \n\nSection 206 of the Patriot Act allows the government to obtain “roving wiretaps” without empowering the court to make sure that the government ascertain that the conversations being intercepted actually involve a target of the investigation.  \n\n“Pen registers” and “trap and trace” devices are also allowed and track detailed information about Internet use, like specific web pages viewed or search terms entered into a search engine read more:http://action.aclu.org/reformthepatriotact/facts.html#two\nMyth: The Patriot Act is “mostly taking what we can do to track drug dealers and thugs and give those tools to people tracking spies and terrorists.”\nReality: Before the Patriot Act, the government could use the same tools, like wiretapping or using grand jury subpoenas, to investigate drug dealers and terrorists. The government simply had to be investigating a crime of terrorism.  \nMyth: The codification of delayed notice warrants in the Patriot Act “brought national uniformity to a court-approved law enforcement tool that had been in existence for decades.”\nReality: The Patriot Act’s “sneak and peek” provision is about lowering standards for sneak and peek warrants, not imposing uniformity. Section 213 of the Patriot Act allows notice of search warrants to be delayed for an indefinite “reasonable time.” \nMyth: The primary effect of the Patriot Act was to “bring down this ‘wall’ separating intelligence officers from law enforcement agents” in coordination and information sharing.\nReality: Information sharing between criminal and intelligence investigations occurred before Sept. 11, 2001 and the Patriot Act. The primary effect of the Patriot Act was to remove necessary checks and balances in foreign intelligence investigations\nMyth: The Patriot Act’s “new powers have allowed authorities to charge more than 400 people in terrorism investigations since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and convict more than half.”\nReality: The government attributes convictions it says are terrorism-related that have nothing to do with the Patriot Act. The “400 convictions” claim overstates actual number of convictions and omits a number of key facts related to these numbers. Only 39 of these individuals were convicted of crimes related to terrorism. The median sentence for these crimes was 11 months, which indicates the crime the government equated with terrorism was not serious\nMyth: The Patriot Act does not contain a provision that allows the government to obtain library records, and “[t]he reading habits of ordinary Americans are of no interest to those investigating terrorists or spies.”\nReality: Section215 of Patriot Act does cover library records. It authorizes the government to more easily obtain a court order requiring a person or business to turn over documents or things “sought for” an investigation to protect against international terrorism. Business records include library records.\n\nYour medical records, records and lists of individuals who belong to political organizations are also fair game for the government to seize\nMyth: “[The] Patriot Act is chock-full of oversight in a lot of ways that regular criminal procedure is not:  full of the involvement of federal judges…”\nReality: The statute authorizing the use of “national security letters” as amended by the Patriot Act 505(a) contains no judicial oversight. The statute allows the government to compel the production of financial records, credit reports, telephone, Internet, and other communications or transactional records. \nSection 215 requires the FBI to apply to a Foreign Intelligence Sur


My coach says if he can't find a setter again then i will have to be the setter again, but if he does he wants me to be the main spiker. i'm 5'7 and i've been on the varsity team since my freshman year and next year i become a sophmore and i don't want a freshman taking my spot (not that i'm afraid). i also want to get better with my talent. so please anything could help in some way.

this is a long and hard question!\n\nto be a good setter you have to be able to set TO any person FROM anywhere on the court. after all the second hit is yours. so pratice that. also a setter is the play maker. learn to read your opposition. look for their weakness's and strengths. and always keep in mind you can set the backrow.\n\nas for being a good hitter. learn to read the floor. watch the defense and keep looking for a 'hole'. try to keep your options open, or in other words, brute force can score kills, but it's not the only way to score points. dinks, cuts and of time shot hits are all simple techniques that are equally effective at scoring points.\n\ngood luck

How many real roots does the following equation have:\n\nx^5 + 7*x^3 + 3*x + 2 = 0.\n\na)0 \nb)1 \nc)3 \nd)5\n\nHow to solve this kind of question ?\n\nis there any rule /formula ?

The idea is Descartes Rule of Signs.\n\nThe mathematican Descartes ( who invented coordinate geometry by the way ), introduced a "technique" by which one can possibly tell how many real roots to expect.  \n\nIts best illustrated by an example.\n\nSay Use Descartes' Rule of Signs to determine the number of real zeroes of:\n\nf (x) = x^5 – x^4 + 3x^3 + 9x^2 – x + 5. \n\nFor positive zeroes ( roots ) of f(x).\n\nThere are four sign changes. This number "four" is the maximum possible number of positive zeroes (x-intercepts) for the polynomial  f (x) = x5 – x4 + 3x3 + 9x2 – x + 5. However, remember that some of the roots may be generated by the Quadratic Formula, and these pairs of roots may be complex. Then it may be that certain pairs of roots are not real, and therefore are not graphable as x-intercepts. Because of this possibility, you have to count down by two's. That is, while there may be as many as four real zeroes, there might also be only two, and there might also be zero (none at all).\n\nFor negative zeroes, you need to replace f(x) by f(-x).\n\nf (–x) = (–x)5 – (–x)4 + 3(–x)3 + 9(–x)2 – (–x) + 5\n\nf (–x) =  –x5 – x4 – 3x3 + 9x2 + x + 5\n\nThere is only one sign change, so there is exactly one negative root. In this case, you don't count down by two's, because you would end up with a negative number.\n\nSo the possibilities are :\nThere are 4, 2, or 0 positive roots, and exactly 1 negative root.\n\nOK. Thats basic background work. \n\nNow, for your question, there is no positive real roots for there is no sign changes.\n\nf( - x ) = (-x)^5 + 7*(-x)^3 + 3*(-x) + 2 \n         = -x^5 - 7*x^3 - 3*x + 2\n \nSo, there is one "sign" change. From [- 3*x ] to [ + 2 ].\n\nHence, we can conclude that the given equation has exactly one negative root.\n\nTo enumerate this root, is an altogether different matter.\n\nALTERNATE SOLUTION.( following your book )\n\nThe solution above is if you dont know calculus.\n\nWith calculus,\n\nf(x) is continuous\nf(x) is strictly increasing since the book showed \nf'(x) > 0 for all real x.\n\nf(0) = + 2  is positive\nf(-1)= - 9  is negative\n\nHence,\n=> we have one root in (-1, 0)\nWhy? Because think about it. This kind of deduction is only true if f(x) is continous. Continuity means that : \nwhen x = -1, f = -9 . So starting from a negative value, as x increases (from -1 to 0) , x = 0, f = 2, means that f has "increased from" -9 to 2. Now, by continuity, as f increased from -9 to 2, at some point say x = y, f MUST have "assumed" the value 0!. That is f(y)=0 because 0 lies between -9 and 2. And this y is described by "x increases (from -1 to 0)" and thus -1 =< y =< 0, or y falls in the interval (-1,0). \n\nWe have established the "existence" of y such that\nf(y) = 0 and -1 =< y =< 0.\n\nHow do we know they arent any other roots?\nBy the fact that f(x) is Increasing!\nWhy? Increasing means: \nas x increases f(x) increases \nor equivalently,\nas x decreases f(x) decreases\n\nSince there is only one root in -1 =< y =< 0, we need to consider and show NO roots for f(x) in x < -1 and x > 0.\n\nSo, for x < -1,\nIncreasing means (proved using calculus),\n"as x decreases f(x) decreases"\nSo, f(x) < f(-1) = - 9 < 0. \nThus for x < -1, always f(x) < 0. \nSo f(x) cannot equal zero at all, implying no root here.\n\nSo, for x > 0,\nIncreasing means (proved using calculus),\n"as x increases f(x) increases"\nSo, f(x) > f(0) = 2 > 0. \nThus for x > 0, always f(x) > 0. \nSo f(x) cannot equal zero at all, implying no root here too.\n \nConclusion is the same as before.\ny is the real root. Only one real root.\n\nAnd thats what the book assumed obvious.\n\nIf you wanted to know the nature of the roots (not just real roots),\nThe answer is 1 real root and 4 complex roots.\n\nI showed you both ways... with & without ca

Along with eating right and exercise that is.

Absolutely. As you stated, it must go along with a proper diet and routine exercise. Hit GNC...I have used several of their products, and most of them I have had success with, it all depends on how your body responds.


changed their mind midstream, and decided to award cash prizes for points?  Would you regret wasting 5 points on pointless questions like this one?  And how much would you regret it?

I'M NOT SURE BUT I WOULD ENJOY READING POINTLESS QUESTIONS LIKE THIS ONE SO I WOULD BE BUILDING UP MY POINTS FOR THE CASH.


I had a baby boy 3 months ago and i still have a gross flabby stomach. I know it takes time cuz of my 8 year old daughter that i have, but to lose weight with her, it took me 4 years. I hear it takes longer with a 2nd. I am not a fat woman to begin with. I am 33 yrd old. Besides strenous exercises, how can i get my tummy down? I want to wear a bikini again and look decent in it. Ihave a heart and back problem..that's why i can't do exercises...pls help??

Buy an ABLounger.  The exercise is not strenuous, and you really will see results.\n\nYou have another 6 months before you will be happy with your body...but you will be happy.\n\nDrink the 8 glasses of water each day, and try to get 8 hours sleep...even if it is 2 hours at a time.\n\nFor now, wear a one-piece with tummy control.  Everyone will understand, so don't worry about it!\n\nEnjoy your baby!

if we consumed the fruit orange,we gained vitamin c(i may b wrong).From my knowledge blood keeps human alive right so they are supposed to be good for us.\nBut what do we stand to gain if we like consume blood?Do we gain vitamins or anything gd for our body from them like what we get from eating fruits?\nOh and by da way,thanks!

You would gain a little protein and a bad taste in your mouth.

OH! COME ON,DON'T BE SILLY DON'T YOU KNOW THAT LADIES CAN FEEL THE PLUSE BEAT OF EVERY MATURED MALE, AND BELIEVE ME HOOKS THEM LIKE A FISH AND EAT THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE VERY SLOWLY. AND IF IT SMELLS OR GETS ROTTEN KICKS THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE WITHOUT ANY MERCY. NOW TELL ME, HAVE YOU FOUND ANY NEED FOR THEM TO TALK MARRIEGE. SO WAIT AND BECOME MATURED. FROM NOW PRACTICE HOW TO SAVE YOURSELF WHEN ONE FINE MORNING YOU BE SURELY KICKED OUT OF YOUR OWN HOUSE OK. NO, OK WAIT AND SEE.


1. 17\nfirst you add 8 to both sides & u'll get 2x=34. Then you divide both sides by 2 & u'll get x=34/2 which is x=17.\n2. 5\nsubtract 5 from both sides (the bars enclosing 20 are the absolute vale bars which means that 20 "loses" the negative sign). u'll get 3x=15. then divide both sides by 3. so, x=15/3 which is 5.\n3. 5\nsubtract 12 from both sides. u'll get 4x=20. then divide both sides by 4. so x=20/4 which is x=5.\n4. -6\nsubtract 16 from both sides. u'll get 8x=-48. then divide both sides by 8 & u'll get x=-48/8 which is -6.\n\nhope this helps (& good luck)


For all we know god and jesus might have been a alein from another planet that had tecnology we did not understand so we thought them gods. If we took some of todays things back into the past say when caveman were around they would think we were gods because they would not understand the things we would have right.

God is real.  For all we know, you could be an alien from another planet... =P  j/k\n\nGod and Jesus are definitely real.  God Bless!


...Christians, Muslims, Jewish, Pagans, Satanists or Atheists?

We sell lubricants re-packed from bulk package into smaller pack-sizes under our own private-label (Superlube) in Bangladesh, since July 1991.\n\nWe had 80 employees at the peak of our business (2000-2004) which has now dwindled to 40 employees, mainly due to the fact that a lot of our money ($165,371.00) tied up as outstanding dues from 814 customers out of 4367 customers.\n\nWe need urgent cash loan or credit-supply of specialised lubricants in bulk to continue with our business, which would help stop further retrenching of our employees. The Banks here in Bangladesh have very high interest rates 15%-25% per year and also they won’t pay loan without mortgage/collateral.\n\nWould appreciate Joint-Venture proposal as a last resort. Our Turnover is in average $230,409.93 per year in the last 15 years. Any idea as to how we can overcome this temporary inconvenience?

Yes, may be u do this already, if not, start to give 7 % discount for payment on the spot. PLus give 4% discount for payment within 2 to 15days. after a month charge a some percentage. Tell your clients that u pay so much interest for money they are blocking. (u will lose little bisuness in the beg. but in the long run the market will do the same)\nFor now call all clients and tell them they will receive a 4% discount if they make the payment in 2 weeks after that they will be charged  the bank rate or something u think is appriopriate. But dont be scared, If your product, price and service is good, lost customers will be back. have some patience also. start contacting some other sellers and tell them to do the same.

One's religion is one thing that shapes his/her character and we all here to communicate and show our point of view so I think it's fair to know. What do you think ?

I guess it is quite fine. I mean if someone asked my religion I would not be offended. However, it is important not to insult people because of their religion or not having a religion.


In a circle, I am given the length of a chord to be 16. The portion of the radius perpendicular to the chord, which is between the chord and the perifery has the length 4. How do I determine the radius??

OK, call the chord AB. The radius intersects the chord perpendicularly at the point M, which means that AM is half of AB, so AM is 8. Calling the radius R and the point on the perifery hit by this perpendicular radius D, we know that MD is 4, and therefore the perpendicular distance from the center C to M is (R-4). The triangle CMA is thusly a right triangle, with hypothenuse R and cathetes 8 and (R-4). Using Pythagoras, we get R^2 = 8^2 + (R-4)^2 or\nR^2 = 64 + R^2+16-8R. Simplifying, we get 80-8R=0 or R=10.


Please explain to me how the books of Moroni don't violate the numerous statements throughout the Bible that say not to add anything to the Word of God. Also, how do you edxplain the statements that Jesus made in John 14:6 ("I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. o one comes to the Father except through me," and John 3:16. No additions, no legalism necessary. Do you claim to be Christian? From my reading you can't be both Christian AND Mormon. Thanks.

Here are some websites that will explain it all if ya don't know the answer yet.


Is it to soon to be thinking about marrage if it comes up in a conversation casually? Should I take it serious when we talk about it casually?

i'm fare away from home, from her. she is married, she doesn't love him.we've been together for 4 years and now she was scared to be with me, fare away from her past?why?

If she is married, get out of this relationship.  There is nowhere for the relationship to go.


I am getting them day in and day out and I want to be able to understand why. I was physically, sexually and emotionally abused by my brother and my dad is a recovering alcoholic. I am not whining I am just trying to understand what is wrong with me and why I am so intent to end my life. Seriously I don't know how much longer I can deal with this.

I think suicidal thoughts are actually caused when someone feels trapped in a hopeless situation. You don't really want to be dead or end your life. You just can't find a way to end the situation you are in. You aren't dumb and you aren't stupid, you're scared and you don't know what else you can do. \n\nWell, the best way to end those thoughts would be to give yourself an alternative, a third choice.  What can you do? \n\n1.Do you still see your father and brother on a regular basis? If this is a problem, think of ways to avoid them. Devise a plan to move to a location where you will be far enough away to never see them. I would guess that you don't owe them anything, so don't worry about them.\n\n2.Are you plagued with thoughts and feelings that remind you of your past? The best thing to do is see a doctor. You can take some medication to calm your nerves and allow yourself to maintain an emotional balance. You can see a psychologist to help you deal with these memories and attack the problem at it's source. Many people also find meditation and exercise theroputic. There are many books on this subject.\n\n3.Do you feel alone, like no one understands you? There are many people who have been through similar situations that you have been in. Thanks to the internet, many of these people can talk to each other and discuss how they deal with it. \n\nIt may not happen over night but by putting a plan in place you can begin working on that goal.  You have been asking a lot of questions and it is clear that many people here care about you a lot. Remember that we are thinking about you and we want you to take control of your life and begin healing.


like you'ld be willing to jump off a bridge to show your love for your dog.. something really stupid, but you'd risk your life trying to show.. what's another phrase for that?


Just wondering if "my number" is among the average.

Hard to say.  What's right for you isn't necessarily right for everyone.  I have friends (in your age range) that haven't slept with anyone yet and I also have friends that have been with 30+ people.  If you tend to be in long-term relationships, then maybe your number is lower than someone that prefers short-term relationships.  Also, did you go to college??  lol...that definetly affects your number!  As long as you don't regret the decisions you made...don't worry about your number.

i really like this guy and we have been dating for three weeks and two days.

Sometime we just don't have anything to say.  But when we do it's normally pretty good. I'm not a real big talker and this is what I do. Why don't you just work off of what he saying what ever the topic is, work form it.\nThat's what I do, it could be about cars, work, friends, hobbies, family, vacations, kids etc. and always try to stay positive. Even if your not interested in the discussion, if you show that your taking an interest you might even be surprised and actully find that you became intrigged.  Give it a shot, it can't hurt.


we have talked about getting married and even planned for some things to be done but he hasn't proposed yet. And we already have set the date!

Don't rush him into it.  Give him time.  I'm sure he'll propose soon since you said that you all have discussed marraige.

i lived all my life in europe and was national champion in swimming for multiple years. i have a high-school diploma, and i am planning to move to the Us and start working towards becoming a swimming coach, but i don't know where to start looking for schools

In many states you do not have to attend any particular school to become a coach.  You can be a lay-coach which is someone that has not attended a college or university and recieved a teaching certificate.  In many states you have to take a few classes, first aid, care and prevention of athletic injuries, theory of coaching, etc.  In order to become a coach.  Any university that offers a degree in education would work, but in many cases is not necessary.


I do not...all my friends know this, I will return their calls when I am off the road. Accidents occur in the split second you take your eyes off the road to answer the phone or\nlet alone trying to dial a number. I believe it should be illegal, and heavily fined if the cause for a accident.

It supposed to read/write both DVD and CD. But after a few months of use, it can't read/write CDs, and the DVD read/write is still working. Any idea?

The unit does have a different head for CD so it is possible for one to go bad and the other stay working.\n\nIf you won't read or write and you have tried different media my guess is your CD head is bad. The writers are a throw away item now. They are so cheap you don't want to fix them.

How much did u lose, are you completely happy with ur body?\nHow did u go about it, any tips, advice 4 people who are still on their way to their slimmer selves?

i lost 35lbs working on the ramp at the airport (part time), throwing bags and ate whatever i wanted. it just goes to show, when you build muscle and move around, you lose weight. i have kept the weight off for a year now. and i drank alot of water and gatorade. my advice, walk and lift weights. eat sensible, not all diet foods, just healthy and natural choices. good luck!


And if so,what is the definition of the word ''god'' in the christian glossary?

Most Christians believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the holy spirit. They are three aspects of the same thing (think of ice, water and steam). It is really complicated but that it baisically it.\n\nIf you want a bit more detail: God is the creator and he came down to earth in the form of his son Jesus. He had to live his life completely like a man (be born, be tempted etc) so that he could die and take all our sins so we could be forgiven (if we aaccept him). The Holy spirit is the presence that we sometimes feel on earth nowadays.


Hi there\nI have been doing a diet regiment for 1 month and its wokring great. The best tips I can advise you is to drink drink drink plenty of water to flush your system out. 20 mins exercise for 4 day a week will also make the weight drop off you. Reducing your intake of saturated fats and increasing your intake of fibre are also hany tips. Best of luck to you. Remember to drink

latin people are americans too, im ecudorian and im american too america is the continent not the country

I don't know why.  You have a good point. I usually state that I am a New Yorker.  If I answer a question and they ask if I am an American I will answer yes but I always state that I am a New Yorker.  My g/f is from Holland.  My family has a tendency to state shes European.  No she's Dutch first. Europe is a big place.  Just as America is.  Need to be more specific in my opinion. People have been known to generalize.  And I for one dont like to be generalized so I help clarify where I am from.


Explanation: If a person was born being able to walk on his hands, what would happen ! in other words would his hand wiz time turn to be like his legs and gain massive growth to be looking like the legs of a normal person.\n\nMoreover , they say that genes play the role in shaping the view of the body. Well, in this case i guess genes will fail ??

If its a matter of just some people then nothing may happen.But if everyone start to behave that way,then possibly in a long time the hands may change shape ,and so would legs,,becuase nothing in nature is "just like that".Everything has its own function and meaning.So not just the hands and legs would change positions but also ,thoughts,brains,habits,and almost everything in humanity could change.maybe we humans would call ourselves by a different name then.Earth would be downside up ;).\n(in medical terms this is an anomaly if it happens,and may be due to mutations of some kind,,,only similar and repeated mutations can change the course of life)


Okay, site some sources here!\nI'm in a Human Sexuality class and my teacher said in class that women only have orgasms from direct or indirect stimulation of the clit.  But I know about the g-spot.  Can someone give me more details on this so I can ask a full question and have something to back it up?

There's two types of orgasms in females. Clitoral and Vaginal.\n\nThe G-spot is the Prostate in both men and women. Which is easily accessible through anal penetration, but in women is also possible through the vagina. In men... well there's only one way...

I have a Toshiba satellite LapTop and I am trying to start it up and I am getting this message:\n\nWindows Could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\nWINDOWS SYSTEM32 CONFIG SYSTEM\n\nyou can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM.\nselect "R" at the first screen to start repair.\n\nbut I do not have the setup CD-ROM what can I do?

One last try, start the system and keep pressing the key "F8" you will come to a screen where it will ask you how you want the system to start........choose the number which corresponds to "last known good configuration"....... if everything is good then you can have your system working....\n\nElse if you can get a help from your firend take his OS CD and reload your system, but you got to remember your systems original OS Key number.........


Im 6 months pregnant and married. My mom stays on the computer 24/7  We live in louisiana she has been to almost 4 different states cause she is so man crazy (all in just a year by the way) anyways she knows me and my brothers lost respect for her she talks about sex with my little brother thats 11. She is telling people she is moving to south carolina in a week They say but what about your daughter she needs you because she is pregnant and you little son what about him.  she tells people i said i dont need her know more because im married and i have my own life but i didnt say that she is just saying that cause she wants to go away and she wants people to be ok with it but they are not going to be ok because they are scared for her what should i do she promised me she would be here when the baby comes and thru out my pregnancy but she hasnt even called to tell me she is going away yet. she says she needs her own life and her kids are raised but what about the 11 year old heisnt raised

First of all; you're married. You need to be united with your husband, not your mom. Secondly, you need to learn to detach from your mom and her situations,and the 11 yr. old, if you don't think your mom is a capable mom, you could take him and be that capable mom yourself. Your mom has issues. Personally, it sounds like she likes to sleep around. The quality of your life has to be there for you, and your husband, and the new family you are raising.


coz she says it turns her on but I dont want to, but I love her???? and dont want to loose her.

Oh for cyring out loud, it's a pair of underwear.  Just put them on.. lol  Just don't let her take any photos.  Ya gotta try something new every now and then.  If you try it and it makes you feel positively foolish, let her know this and that you don't want to do it again.  If she doesn't respect that, then you've got bigger problems than a pair of Victoria's Secret's finest skivvies.


My Buddies told that there was, and I think they are lying!! Is there really a commercial like that??

No! Jodie wouldn't do a commercial like that. I know she did a band-aid and Coppertone Sun Tan lotion commercial when she was little. Jodie e-mail me. I lost have the stuff on my computer cuz my friend got on & deleted a bunch of stuff.


thinks that "God doesn't make any mistakes". How do I convince her thst this is for real, and not some sexual kick I have?\n\nI was very close to her when we were growing up, but ever since she "discovered Jesus", she is very closed minded about the whole subject matter.\n\nShe seems to think that if I "just find the right woman", I will be "cured" of the desire to want to be a woman. EEeewwww!!! Yuck! I am NOT a lesbian! There are no "right" women for me, because they are ALL women!\n\nI told her that if God didn't make any mistakes, why don't he make up his mind and make me think like a man or just let me have the body of a woman.\n\nANY suggestions would help...

This happend to someone I knew.\n\nwhat I suggest is keep on truckin' and be who you are.  Unfortunately in our society there will be people who will not accept for who you are, family included.  \n\nSometimes its too hard on them when they see you as a woman, some families prefer to just turn a blind eye and pretend that everything is alright.\n\nHopefully you have an open-minded family.\n\nClose-minded religious folks + GLBT is like oil and water.
