I am currently a volunteer firefighter about to go to college and get my associate degree in fire science. What is the normal starting pay and/or benefits?

Earnings  [About this section]  Back to Top Back to Top\n\nMedian hourly earnings of fire fighters were $18.43 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $13.65 and $24.14.

Almost all fire departments provide protective clothing (helmets, boots, and coats) and breathing apparatus, and many also provide dress uniforms. Fire fighters generally are covered by pension plans, often providing retirement at half pay after 25 years of service or if the individual is disabled in the line of duty.

In other words, can you view the email in your preview pane and not have it effect your PC?  Or do the viruses affect your PC when they enter your inbox?  I understand most email has virus scan and so on, I just like to know the fine details.

Email virus comes in an attachment.\n\nThis is how it affects the computer. You might have a picture of a celebrity attached to your email. You would definitely like to download this image. The file name might be britneyspears.jpg but it actually is britneyspears.jpg.exe. The actual file extension is EXE which means it is an executable file and it might have an icon of JPEG file. When you double click to open this file, your computer gets infected by it.\n\nTo make sure your computer never gets affected, make sure you have Anti Virus on your computer. Whenever you download a file, and if you have norton anti virus installed then click right mouse button on that file and select Scan with Norton AntiVirus.\n\nBut here is the trick, a clever programmer may write a virus that the AntiVirus installed on your computer may not be able to detect it as Virus. So always make sure that you check the file extention before opening the file.\n\nTo view the file extention of the files, on windows XP you can do the following:\nClick right mouse button on any folder then select Properties. Click on View Tab and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.


Where exactly are liberals planning their big war protests to show their support for the troops?

It will probably be where large gatherings of real Americans are who are celebrating the sacrifices of the war heros.


If Some one knows how to contact this person please contact me or have her contact me. At least she has an honest job. and is not selling herself out no less than an any of us men who go to a job everyday for a paycheck and relax at strip club or even a Hooters bar after work to forget about the day and maybe even relax with an innocent fantasy while watching a porn flick.Men degrade women. Women don't degrade.  And just for an added note I may average one or two porn flix and nights at a tasteful strip club, often wih my girlfriend. >>>Here's the real question,Does this make me a pervert who disrespects and degrades women???


the question's not there and you have to click onto a website. does any else find this bothersome.


For example, suppose I ate an apple, I could regurgitate a bite I took, and I used to chew it again and swallow. ( not on purpose, just happened ). Some times I had to chew and swallow a couple of times before this stopped. \n\nIs this a symptom of a bigger problem?


i'm fat and i'm shy to ask a girl out or ask her to be my girlfriend  i need some one who can help me

There is no way.  Fat people are unattractive, especially fat guys who spend all their time on the computer instead of the gym.  Get that chubby butt on the treadmill and a weight bench, my friend.


The song Where'd you go? By Fort Minor....I lve it.I get it stuck in my head all the time

yeah..I've heard tha fort minor song..yeah gurl..its hard to get it out of ur head,huh?


i am bi-sexual and have considered marrying a women. here is my view. marriage is a is when a man and woman make vows to one another before God. like or not... same sex relationship is a sin before God. therefore i thing its a disrespect to God to call same sex relationship a marriage. However, i do feel...that sex couples who share a household, raising kids together,share bills, and all that...there is no reason why that should excluded from having the same legal benefits as heterosexual married couples. my answer for states against same sex relationship is to just change the word...call it a "legal union". when i was thinking of marrying my ex...since i was the breadwinner...my fear was "what is if i was to died?"...she wldnt be considered as a legal beneficary upon my death, or right to children, nothing. my family member could still fight against my signature giving her & her child rights to benefits...if they want too. thats not right. what do you guys think of my theory?

Move to California or Massachusetts, etc....  The better question is "why don't we take the government out of marriage altogether?"  Marriage was a religious institution.  The idea of government needing to promote population growth is as outdated as life-long committment is to heterosexuals.  Give marriage back to the churches, they can choose who gets "married" in their sanctuary.  And there are plenty of churches who will bless same sex unions...


don't get me wrong, i am a spiritual person. i aim for  joy in live  and to find inner peace and with that peace on earth. and i think laughing about oneself is sometimes a good way of getting there.....\n\nwhy do people get so defensiv about it?

basically FEAR>>>>scared that they might not be RIGHT...\n\nand then there Are those who take their religion seriously and heavy WITHOUT condemning others....those are my kind of people.\n\nlive for the joy and peace...:)


I think she looks like the bottom of my shoe and trust me that aint pretty.


I often get tremors in my eye,butt arms, and legs what could this mean

congratulations .. u've become the official human seismograph!! pls contribute ur services to humanity

She was my prom date and a great friend.

1) Checkout www.classmates.com and look up the class list to your old school and see if she's there. If not, send e-mails to some who are asking if they know here whereabouts. Also, post on the message board for your school asking the same question.\n\n2) Do the same as No. 1 for www.alumni.com\n\n3) Do the same as No. 1 for www.reunion.com\n\n4) Do some generalized Google searches.\n\n5) If it's worth it and you want to find her badly enough, then use one of the pay search services. You can get a pretty decent initial search for under $50-60.


been thinking alot about adopting.  where do we start?  what about the costs...heard it's pretty expensive...we don't have ALOT of money to put into it...does that mean we "shouldn't"...really would like to adopt an infant...what about international adoption?  \n\nany help would be greatly appreciated....\n\nthanks\nd

This is a question for Americans.\nWhat will the outcome be?

On paper it looks like the Czechs but last time I checked we have never given ground to so-called titans in the game,neither have we asked or given any quarter and the most important thing is to fight our hearts out-we know how to do that...We may carry the day or a draw seems likely in my books.


My best friend is asian, she is realllly pretty, tall, and thin. But she is really shy too. Even though she is really shy around guys, there are tons and tons and tons of white guys that are interested in her. And it isnt just her its happening to, there are other girls as well. Why is that? why are white guys attracted to asian girls so much?

They are seen as very exotic looking, all that dark shiny hair etc.


im on work experience at a school im in a class of 4-5 year olds and im trying to be animated and upbeat does this patronise them or do they like it because when i ws a lil kid i used to hate people talking to me like that

By asking this question, you show yourself to be a sensitive, thoughtful person. Follow your instincts.  Be honest.  Talk to the children out of a place of love and respect. They will respond to who you are. At the core, teaching is about communicating. Small children, as you remember, know when someone is being straight with them or not.


I have two kids and have been unable to lose the weight.  I use to weigh 147lbs and now I just seem to be getting bigger. I walk most of the time and lift a little weights I eat as healthy as possible and still nothing, I don't want to lose weight to look good I want to lose weight to be energized enough to play with my kids there four and two years old.

Try weight wacthers I lost 60 pds in 15 wks a year ago. I was 184 got down to 130 too small. Picked up 5 pds looked better. Keeping betwn 135-140.I'm 42 5'4. It's inexpensive too.

I reformated my hard disc..reloaded Norton 2002...now have one years updates again!! is this ok?  are they the latest updates ..or should I but 2006?

GO WITH THE NORM THEY WILL KEEP YA UPDATED AS NEW THREATS COME ALONG


It was one day at school one of them started telling me that she was not going to hang around with me no more she has being my friend for almost 3 years and when she told me i fealt that she was meaking me choose her or the other but then the other one heard and now they dont talk to each other and one of them is gong to leave and they are making mechoose one of the but I ca n what should I do

maybe you should tell them that you refuse to choose as they are both your friends and you value both of them and both friendships. If they are truly your friends they will see the position they have put you in and understand your decision. There is nothing worse is there than being stuck in the middle of a silly situation between people you care about. Friendships, good and lasting ones, are something to cherish, built on mutual love respect and trust for each other. If you can get them to see that I'm sure you will be able to work things out.Good luck sweetie


The house will be forclosed on July 4th which means that the children  and I will need to find a place to live.  Has anyone ever been through a forclosure? If you have do you know if I clould rent the home from the bank until it sells??

Foreclosure means that you have until July 4th to pay off the unpaid balance, plus your current mortgage due, or you lose the house.  Since mortgage payments are so high, few people can manage it.  Your only chance to salvage your credit history and your financial stability is to sell the house quickly, take whatever profit you can and buy a new house for yourself and the kids.  But... you need his consent to sell the house.  If he won't cooperate, you'll need a judgement (a QUICK one) to force the sale.\n\nGood luck!


Don't even bother looking it up, but on a separate note; I am trying to unload some ocean front property I own in Arizona.  If anyone is interested let me know, I am letting it go for pennies on the dollar.

I've known that for years.  I thought it was common knowledge.  \n\nI am interested in this ocean front property in Arizona.  If I buy would you throw in the Golden Gate in free?\n\nThanks

The sentence "This is the road that leads to Manchester"  can also be written as "This is the road leading to Manchester."\nLikewise, "The man who lives next door to me is 110 years old" can be written as "The man living next door to me is 110 years old."\n\nHow would you explain these kinds of sentences to ESL students?  Any advice?

I think, "This road leads to Manchester" and "The man next door is 110 years old", sounds so much better. The point being, English is very expressive and can be spoken and written correctly in so many ways. Try my descriptive language in my Titanic story at http://jules-shortstories.blogspot.com. Your lesson could be about the different ways that we CAN write other than what we DO write (or say) and emphasise the beauty of words and language itself. Jules, Australia.

Boys: Do you think other guys are attractive? Not in a gay way, but do you think to yourself 'yeh hes goodlooking' I know alot of guys don't like ot admit it

Yes, why would they have men in muscle magazines or men's style magazines. It is more of emulation than attraction.  I want to look like..., or I want to be like... are questions all guys ask. The ones that are afraid to admit are the ones that are not comfortable with themselves.


Avner Cohen has catalogued reported uses of biological weapons by Jewish forces during the 1948 war in Palestine. The Israeli historian Uri Milstein alleged that 'in many conquered Arab villages, the water supply was poisoned to prevent the inhabitants from coming back.' Milstein states that one of the largest of such covert operations caused the typhoid outbreak in Acre in May 1948.\n\nIn May 1948, the Egyptian ministry of defence stated that four 'zionists' had been captured while trying to contaminate artesian wells in Gaza with 'a liquid which was discovered to contain germs of dysentery and typhoid'.\n\nIn 1954, it was widely reported that defence minister Pinchas Lavon had proposed using BW for special operations. Cohen says: 'Israel has presumably employed biological or toxin weapons for special operations.'\n\nIn 1955, Prime Minister Ben Gurion ordered the weaponisation and stockpiling of chemical weapons in case of a war with Egypt.

they are twins and they are always kissing up to me.

I am not for sure on what you are trying to find out,like if they are best friends with you,even though they hang out with others?If this is the case,yes,they can be your best of Best's,and still have other best friends as well.It sounds like you are having issues about the loyalty about your friends being true friends with you.If they haven't back stabbed you or caused any harm to you,i wouldn't see what there would be to question.As long as you enjoy hanging with them and when you do everything is as should be in friends,then just relax,and it wouldn't hurt for you to have other group of friends besides them either.About the twin's kissing up to you,isn't cool,for some reason they must feel some uneasiness in order to feel like they have to win you over.Maybe you should tell them that you are their friend and they did nothing wrong by socializing with others,its a big world and there is plenty of people for everyone.Try to make them feel at ease and not threatened in this friendship.Good Luck!


I had a lawyer but he has since stepped down from my case, now i don't have a legal rep for my upcoming court hearing, what will happen when i show up for court?

they will ask you to get another lawyer or they will appoint you one if your the defendent in the case and you can't afford one


The thing i am trying to do is open a business where people can get ready mix concrete. i already have the location and i need to get a business license from the city hall, but what i am wondering is, do i need to have a license in concrete? thank you!

I don't know what a license in concrete is but I hope you realize that you will be very vunerable to law suits from who knows who all. If anything goes wrong they will blame the concrete and you'll have a law suit.\n\nYou can provide perfectly good concrete but it can get really screwed up by people who don't know what they are doing. \n\nYou should have a serious insurance policy to protect yourself.


Many athletes believe in using dietary supplements to increase performance. (This is similar to dieters who are willing to use supplements in weight loss). Select any two dietary supplements used by athletes and discuss their effectiveness and safety. (That is, do they work, and do they hurt a person's health?)

yes\n\nsee weight reduction cannot be done with pills, that too without side effects.\n\nthere is no shortcut to success, which can in anything even weight reduction.....\n\nthe golden regimen for weight loss, that really works is:\n1.DIET:  zero fats,\n         least carbohydrates,\n         more proteins,\n         plenty of vegetable salads- they have a double advantage of filling stomach, and providing all necessary nutrients, they should occupy atleast 80% of u r diet\n\n2. regular aerobic exercise- atleast for half an hour, nay be brisk walking, swimming, shuttle, tennis etc.\n\n3. GREEN TEA- it is believed to burn fat cells, improve our immunity, fight against cancer, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol etc. without side effects.\n   try two to three cups a day.


I can't go to work, as she is 24/7 care and I have a 7 year old to raise as well.  She is only 58, so no help from SSI or Medi-Care is available,  and she is not deranged/mentally incomp.  But she can't walk/bathe/go to the bathroom, get around the house on her own,  or go off high flow Oxygen for even a minute.  We can live here,  and my Dad can pay the bills,  but there is nothing left over for us,  and we are slowly slipping further and further into debt.   Isn't there some something???  Help!!

You don't have to be Christian to receive help from a church.  They're not elitists like that, ya know.  :)  Have you thought about working from the home?

It was the top of quality.  It was playing fine several days ago, I was wondering whether it was caused by the humidity since we (connecticut) have a lot of rain recently.

I'd get a new one.  That's really old.  I guess you paid and average of $100.00 per year <$1000.00 / 10 = $100.00>.  Standard accounting techniques depreciate technology at a rapid rate, so the first year, you probably spend $300.00 worth of enjoyment from it ... the second year $200.00 of enjoyment ... the third year $100.00 enjoyment ... ETC.\n\nYou can get real nice CD players now for about $100.00. However, CD players are out and you'd be happier with an IPod or MP3 which stores music in the device.  You can even download the CD's you already own into it, or buy new ones directly from your computer!


Example:  My friend just won $1500 off the 5 cent slot machine and I told her "It must be nice."  My friends and I say it alot. It's basically sarcasm, meaning a few things either...I wish you didn't rub it in or I wish I was you.

i hate the phrase "didn't you get the memo?" I love saying "oh yeah, good times" when something reminds me of good times in the past.

my serum tryglyceride is 307mg% how can I change my habits to help my health.

The best I know tryglyceride is 3 molecules of LDL stick together. I read somewhere I cann't remember. LDL is what so falsely crowned to be bad cholestrol. But it is produced by own liver to carry out the repairing of weakened or "cracked" artery wall.... but when liver makes in excess then problems arise....\nMy personal experience, I have the level lowered by (i) regular jogging under mild sunlight, at least half an hour once, five times a week, at the pace that you cannot easily chat with the jogging-mate, if possible with deep breathing which will tripple the benefit.(ii) low sugar of all types (iii) lower intake of carbohydrates, cut rice or flour products and meat intake to half, and increase the intake of vege and fruit to stomach satisfaction.On top of all this I am on higher vitamins, minerals, & protein supplements. Vitamin c is very important to human body... body tolerable limit is you purge lightly, lower slightly that is your need. It varies from person to person. I suggest you try obtain the book- "Why animals Don't Get Heart Attacks... but People Do!" by Dr. Matthias Rath, M.D.\nIt is the best book that is ever read by me. It is near US$20.00. It is published by MR Publishing, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA. If you have problem obtaining it liais with me, may be I can help out.


Ok I need some help here. I have a friend who has become a really good friend. I am getting ready to ask her father (or mother [or both]) if I can date her. We both will be 16 later this year. The only big problem I see is that she is a Mormon and I am a Lutheran and I really don’t know all that much about Mormons. Can someone please tell me what makes a Mormon and Mormon.

These other answers are funny.  Mormons do not only date and marry mormons.  All you need to know is we believe in Christ as the son of God- if you can't see that you won't get far with this girl at all.  Some basic things- We believe are salvation can only come through Christ, we believe the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be the word of God, we believe in our churches being lead by actual revelation from God- rather than anyone trying to interpret the Bible for us.  If you'd like to know more my email is Flournoi@yahoo.com  I have a site you might be interested in too.


I mean all planets are enclosed in solar system which in turn is a part of our galaxy and so on.But each of these entities have boundaries after which something else starts and encloses the former.So is there anything which is boundaryless and encloses everything..sort of like the ultimate superset.

The universe is an indefinite entity.It is bounded by 'nothing' even in the strict sense of modern physics.


is it possible you can trust on line dating and find your friend or lover? would you risk it/

be careful and analyze all words, then phone or cam, then just be careful, not to tell home address, you don't want every one seeing where you are. even though you might be able to trust the person interested in you, there might be hackers and pedophiles just waiting for you to say or even give a hint to your real location. NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR REAL NAME AND ADDRESS, friends are good on line, but the big bad wolf is ever watching, now just be careful, and, have fun, that is what life is supposed to be, bad people make good things not fun any more.


I have had boyfriends for like only a day and I have had to pay boys to go out with me I know that is dume> but I dont know aboy that really likes me and I need help with that can eney one help me? I am 14

Girls who can't get boys have trouble for a reason: they shouldn't breed. At 14, boys are the last thing you need to worry about, spend more time concentrating on school, and less time worrying about a love life you're not old enough to have. Moron.


how many guyz are gay...............thats hott

kinda of answered this before and gave an answer similar to this- the number of gay guys may never be known cuz many are on the DL, you will never know how many there are with homophobia, prejudices, gay bashing, religion persecuting and stereotyping still going on. So many men still hide out of fear and live on the DL, so while they are still sharing beds with their girlfriends and wives, they slip off to have quick rendezvous with the guys on the side-once the gay community is accepted and not just tolerated, are given the same rights as every individual in the US, such as marriage and joint federal tax filing, don't ask don't tell policy in the military is abolished and every given freedom of any US citizen is given there will be no accurate percentage available-so wives live comfortably thinking your men are yours and remember they are forced to live lies due to the intolerance and lack of understanding of homosexuals in the world so until everyone is not afraid to be who they are and the world is a beautiful place...you will never know-

I have actually found some links that contain the answers to my question, but as in the chicken and egg situation, I can't view these websites as I only have access to yahoo domain and email. Hence, can anyone help me out by copying and pasting the text from these links below into yahoo answers so that I can read them? Any other related info regarding retrieving webpages using only email is most welcome. Really appreciate it. Thanks!

He kept it up about 5 years\nbefore passing it to me in January 1999, when it became apparent he was\ntoo busy with other projects (Internet Tourbus, writing, etc.) to\ncontinue maintaining it.\n\nIn October 1997 I had taken over the moderator duties of the ACCMAIL\nmailing list (which is used to further develop ideas expressed in this\nFAQ) and started a web page based on this FAQ. I guess he figured I was\nthe logical person to take over the FAQ. Hmmm!\n\nSo there you go.\n\n\nHow to Access Internet Services by E-mail\n-----------------------------------------\n\nIf you don't have direct access to the Internet through your BBS or\nonline service, you're not alone.  Many of the world's countries with\nInternet connections have only e-mail access to this world-wide network\nof networks.\n\nBut if you think that sounds limiting, read on.  You can access almost\nany Internet resource using e-mail.  Maybe you've heard of FTP, Gopher,\nJughead, Usenet, Finger, Whois, Nslookup, Traceroute, and the World-Wide\nWeb but thought they were out of your reach because you don't have a\ndirect connection.\n\nNot so!  You can use simple e-mail commands to do all of this and much\nmore on the Internet.  And even if you do have full Internet access,\nusing e-mail services can save you time and money.  If you can send a\nnote to an Internet address, you're in the game.\n\nI encourage you to read this entire document first and then go back and\ntry out the techniques that are covered.  This way, you will gain a\nbroader perspective of the information resources that are available, an\nintroduction to the tools you can work with, and the best methods for\nfinding the information you want.\n\n\nRecent Changes To This Document\n-------------------------------\n\n10.2 web2mail signup address changed,ISPs be e-mail web page changed,\n      Webster dictionary lookup address changed,\n      ADD PDF CONVERSIONS BY EMAIL,\n      wwwfmail_pro@wwwfetch.com DEFUNCT, jiscmail address change,\n      translate@leo.org (German - English translation service) DEFUNCT\n      mailandnews.com DEFUNCT as of 28Feb02,\n      query@ncbi.nlm.


I have a 32 inch tv and I am pissed I have had it for 7 yrs and it just went out, it will play sound and then turn itself off  within 30 seconds.

It would probably be cheaper to get a new one than to try and get yours fixed but talking to a repairman first would be your best option. Just don't try and do it yourself. Telivisions hold a charge even when unpluged and you could be electrocuted.


what are some training tips that can improve my throwing velocity and my speed on the basepaths?

You're going to have to build muscles to be at your best. Start lifting weights. You'll get stronger and be able to do things faster. Good luck.

i need to revise the history of the national curriculum in sport and how it came about. (in england)

The National Curriculum Guidance was first puplished in 1988.  For Physical Eduaction there is guidance for teachers about what a child should achieve at the end of each key stage.  It covers areas of \n\nKnowledge, Skill and Understanding \n-Acquiring and developing skills\n-Selecting and applying skills, tactics and compostitonal ideas\n-Evlauating and improving performance\n-K&U of fitness and health\n\nit gives guidance for Dance, Games (which includes Invasion games such as Football, Net and wall games such as Tennis, and striking and fielding games such as cricket) and gymnastics.\n\nThe national curriculum also includes attainment targets that outline what a child should be able to do to reach a certain level.\n\nThe four main purposes of the national curriculum are \n-to establish an entitlement\n-to establish standards\n-to promote continuity and coherence\n-to promote public understanding\n\nIt was introduced by the government to raise standards in schools.  Written by the Department for Education and Employment


Don't want to scratch them since It might bleed if I scratch it too hard.


go slow and enjoy every minute, start with passionate kissing, a shower together to break the ice, use your imagination.


Album? Think the name of it was Black Forest the Cherry tree...

The artist is KT Tunstall.  And the song is "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree."  \n\nHope this helps!


i tore a tendon by my knee, so its hard to walk. i'm suposed to NOT walk on it, use krutches. and with my school i'm expected to go to valley fair(like six flags) and its a class expectation, i'm going to be in a wheel chair(LOL) and i guess we will be going to the front of the line, i'm only 17. do you think going to the front is fair?\n\nwhats your opinion????

In my opinion "going to the front" because you are in a wheel chair is fair.  They do that for anyone with a "handicap" so they can accommodate their needs before the rest of the crowd rushes onto the ride.  It's for your safety as well as others.  Sounds like you might be a little embarrassed by going to the front in that way.  Don't be.  My daughter was big into track, tore a tendon in her knee, and loved track so much she did everything her doctors told her to do, so she would again be able to do track.  Actually, I think she enjoyed the "special treatment" a little; I think it helped a little make up for her temporary handicap.  Don't worry, go and have fun!!!!  You've earned it.


They made you sign an agreement that they provide no vacation, no sick leave, no break time, $150 per month to buy your own health insurance, deduct on paycheck for late arrival or leave early (by minute) for all salary and hourly employees.  Can they do that??

in Ca, breaks are required by law for hourly employees, though i don't believe they are required to pay for them.  Other than that, I don't see anything in your Q that would suggest a violation of CA employment law, (assuming that the benefits and deprivations are applied to all employees in the same class.  an employee class is a recognized definable group.  this is commonly based on FT versus PT, or hourly versus salaried.  all bets are off with salaried employees.  you're best off getting a copy of the labor code for the state where you live, or asking someone who is familiar with it.  also note (again, in CA) that different industries are affected by different groups of laws.


This for basketball gurus or Blazer fans.  Nash was just shown the door yesterday.  In my opinion Nash ruined the talent culture the blazers had by starting from scratch and trying to get the 1st pick, which he failed.  Whitsitt had bad boys, but at least he was a great talent scout (Bonzi Wells, Jermaine Oneal, Zach Randolph).


Koon vs. United States was the Supreme Court trial the LAPD took after Rodney King won the other trial.

The court was split in the following manner:\n\nIn a opinion by Kennedy, J., joined by Rehnquist, Ch. J., and O'Connor, Scalia, and Thomas, JJ., joined as to holdings 1 and 2b below by Stevens, J., and joined as to holdings 1a, 1b, and 2 below by Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer, JJ., it was held that the Court of Appeals should remand the case to the District Court, where the (1) Court of Appeals had erred (a) by invoking the do novo standard of review, as the appellate court reviewing a District Court's decision to depart from the sentencing ranges in the Guidelines ought to apply an abuse-of-discretion standard, (b) in finding that the suspect's misconduct did not justify the District Court's downward departure five offense levels, and (c) in finding that the officers' susceptibility to prison abuse and their burdens of successive state and federal prosecutions could not be relied upon for downward departure; and (2) the District Court abused its discretion in considering, as factors justifying downward departure, the officers' (a) career loss, and (b) low risk of recidivism.\n\nStevens, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part, (1) agreed with the Supreme Court's opinion that (a) the Court of Appeals had applied the wrong standard of review and had erred in finding that the suspect's misconduct did not justify a downward departure and in finding that the officers' susceptibility to prison abuse and other burdens of successive state and federal prosecutions could not be relied upon for downward departure, and (b) the District Court had abused its discretion in considering low risk of recidivism; but (2) expressed the view that the District Court did not abuse its discretion when it relied on the unusual collateral employment consequences faced by the officers as a result of their convictions.\n\nSouter, J., joined by Ginsburg, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part, (1) agreed with the Supreme Court's opinion that (a) the Court of Appeals had applied the wrong standard of review and had erred in finding that the suspect's misconduct did not justify a downward departure, and (b) the District Court had abused its discretion in considering the officers' career loss and low risk of recidivism; but (2) expressed the view that the Court of Appeals' rejection of the downward departures based on susceptibility to abuse in prison and on successive prosecutions ought to be affirmed.\n\nBreyer, J., joined by Ginsburg, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part, (1) agreed with the Supreme Court's opinion that (a) the Court of Appeals had applied the wrong standard of review and had erred in finding that the suspect's misconduct did not justify a downward departure, and (b) the District Court had abused its discretion in considering the officers' career loss and low risk of recidivism; but (2) expressed the view that the record in the case did not support departures based upon either the simple fact of two prosecutions or the risk of mistreatment in prison.

why medical students are hyping this reservation issiue and spoiling the peace of the country ? especially delhi students have started this , this medical students think that once there strike was sucessful so they putting strong force to make this also strike sucessful but bcoz of strike in hospitals people are deying , 1 child died in delhi bcoz he didnt get treatment only and 3 pregnant woman died in jabalpur bcoz they didnt get the treatment and bcoz doctors were on strike , looks like this doctors arent live savers they are life takers ,reservations should be there bcoz there are some students who r very poor and cannot afford to pay the fees for the education also , there are some tribes which are very poor and for them reservation is there ,now when navjotsidhu has came forward it clearly shows that behind all this scene bjp is involved , bjp has lighted this fire just to spoil the good name of congress & is jealous of congress , sidhu is only fit in comedy programs not here

Do u see any merit in any Govt department? or any Govt functioning? Its like talking about a bullet train to people who have never seen anything better than a bullock cart! Now they want to increase seats.\nAlas! i wish increasing the seats in IIM and IIT would have been as easy as it is to make an Indian politician! Its so easy to make a politicians as it needs just a few lessons like\n- How to commit murders and rapes\n- How to take bribes\n- How to screw up the country by bending and curcumventing rules\n- How to act siphon of public money without being caught\n- How to sell the country\n- How to whip religeous, caste and separatist passions to garner votes\n- How to rig elections\n\nOn the other hand IIT's and IIM's are world class institutes and they make best of the Engineers and the best of managers in the world. They create best infrestructure and have to device international standards of teaching with the best vrains as faculties so its not easy to increase evene a single seat without a long planning and upgradation of infrastructure.\n\nThe problem is that people like Arjun singh think that its as easy to make world class manager as its to make a Indian class politician. The fact is its much easier to make a Raja Bhaiya or DP Yadav and very difficult to make a Narayan Murthy

Saul i would say to you that this issue is Americas decision ,not the illegals. i think you are referring to illegal immigration reform not immigration reform and the cost of illegals to the American tax payers out weighs the benefits. also we don't want a overpopulation crisis. if your so beneficial why wouldnt your talents be better served in your own country were it lacks people to fight for the people ?  but take heart there is always coming legal.\n\n\n\nWhile the workers are supposed to be temporary, they stick around.

is there alaw that says an adult must wear a safety belt in the backseat in utah

Like few on my chin and also I get quite a few on my breast, which I find very weird. What should I do about it? And no, I dont want laser surgery or something like that.\n\nSERIOUS answers please.

That depends, what else is going on. are you having no periods, few periods, or extra long periods? are your periods irregular? I would say to go to a female specialist or gyno to have it checked out. You could polycistic ovarian disease. that can cause you to have hair in weird places like your face, back, breasts, and other places as well. When you talk to the doctor tell them everything that is going on with you so they can figure it out. You can always wax or pluck the hair. Hope this helps and good luck!


If I go without eating at all... just drink water and unsweetened herbal tea that I keep hearing about... for just a few days.... Then after that start eating salads and fruits and no sugar. Wonder what that would do?... Would it end up worse? Like when I do eat ... what will my body do differently to that food? Or will it be fine?

You will gain twice as much once you start eating. Don't do it.\n\nGood luck\nG.G.


i mean they signed up to kill.  the iraqis are only defending their country right?

Hell No on both counts\nThey signed up to defend our country.  They did not choose where or how.\nAnd it is not the Iraqies defending thier country, it is insurgents causing problems for the Iraqies that are trying to creat a government and move the country forward


I'm thinking about setting up a non-profit (complete with committee) to be completely virtual.  I know there are government grants available (depending on the scope of the project) but would like the YA community take on this.\n\nPlease, serious responses only.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nWhen you go to CFDA http://www.cfda.gov \n--> click on Search for Assistance Programs (HTML) \n--> Browse the catalog By Beneficiary \n--> Choose from the dropdown menu Private Non Profit and you will find a list of grants by agency. \n\nYou can then click on each grant information to see if you would qualify for it.\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center. They have a The Foundation Directory Online  http://fconline.fdncenter.org/ provides fundraisers with access to databases of grantmakers, grants, and 990s.It's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month) but it can give you the funding sources that you need.


If I right click on any file based items in XP Home. Explorer hangs and I need to kill and restart it using the task manager. However, I can run other applications, like firefox, while this condition is occurring. Furthermore, after I restart explorer, I can open a drive and double click on any file and it will open. I can then save it to another drive, like a flash or a zip. So, it seems to be the right click menu or anything on that menu that is not working. \n\nAd an example, I can open MyComputer with a double click and select drive C. I can select any of the menus except "File". As soon as I select file, Explorer hangs.\n\nA basic WD diagnostic says the drive is ok. MS AntiSpyware, AdAware, and SpyBot all found nothing. My next step is a more detailed WD diagnostic. \n\nAnyone seen this or have other suggestions?

This a typical behavior of a computer that is overheating the CPU try checking the cooling fan and if it looks defective replace it immediately b-fore it causes more damage, the Power supply also will cause this to happen but this is more complicated than just replacing the cooling fan. A faulty keyboard an a defective mouse will also provoke this ugly and unkind failure.


A) Charles Darwin\nB) Alfred Russell Wallace\nC) Thomas Malthus\nD) Sthephen J. Gould

Malthus. His essay entitled "An essay on the principle of population, as it affects the future improvement of society with remarks on the speculations of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and other writers", written in 1798, was one of the sources for Darwin to develop his Theory of Evolution by Means of Natural Selection. \nYou can read the essay here:\nhttp://socserv2.socsci.mcmaster.ca/~econ/ugcm/3ll3/malthus/popu.txt


My friend is realli realli skinny. Like, his chest u can practically feel the bone sticking out, he has no muscle in his chest.

Bench press is the main excersise, inclinated bench press for the upper chest, declinated for the lower chest, also the "butterfly" machine, he should take a weight gainer and workout a general routine, not just chest...

I heard a rumor that the act requires students who cannot pass the test to take a certificate of completion instead, but that not only is this required, but it is NOT a diploma. Does anyone know what this is all about? I tried searching online but I think the topic is too specific and I can find no clear details except some teachers must have a Certificate of Completion issued to recognize they are able to teach.

I do not know about teachers but this is waht I have heard what happens to students. \n\nCertificate of Completion\n\nI received this email this morning and I think that it\nis worth passing on to you guys. \n\n\nThe "Certificate of Completion or Attendance" that is\nbeing offered in lieu of high school diplomas, is a\npart of Bush's "No Child Left Behind". This is how it\nworks: \n\nIt is for students who are unable to pass both the\nLanguage Arts and Math portions of the 10th grade\nISTEP. Students must take the same 10th grade test\nover in the 11th and 12th grades until they pass both\nportions. If they are unable to pass the 10th grade\ntest by the 12th grade then they have two options: \n\n1. Drop out and go to a GED program or, \n2. accept a "Certificate of Completion" - it is NOT a\ndiploma. Once a student accepts it, they cannot ever\nget a diploma or a GED. A certificate of completion\nmeans that a student can never (as long as they live):\n\n\n1. go to the armed services \n2. go to college \n3. go to trade school \n4. go to journeyman's school \n5. go to beauty school \n6. go to culinary arts school \n7. get a federal loan in their lifetime \n\nThis is the portion of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND (2001)\nthat Bush slipped in during the 2004 revision of the\nNCLB bill. It has not been publicized. At a high\nschool in Indiana, in 2005, there were 87 seniors in\nthe graduation class. Five got diplomas and 82 got\n"Certificates of Completion". \n\nThis is being referred to as the "Paper Plantation".\nIt is better for students to drop out and get into a\nGED program so they may seek other forms of education,\nlater in life, if they desire to do so. All 50 states\nhave "Certificates of Completion or Attendance". \n\nPlease pass this information along to EVERYONE you\nknow who has school age children. Clergy, please\npreach it from the pulpits. Our people MUST know this\ninformation.\n \nThank you & stay blessed. "No one can make you feel\ninferior unless you allow them."


You can expect to see a change in the style of managment, for better or for worse is unforseen, and only time will tell. \nThe management hierarchy will be the first objective on the agenda. It will either be left untouched (stayed the same) or a major resuffle of some management personnel(re-aligned organizational chart) to suit the style of this new higher up as they see fit. If this is not managed well (Change Management), you can expect to see a gradual exodus of certain personnel leaving for "greener pasture" due to disagreement to conflict. If a top management personnel decides to leave or resign, you can see some his lower ranks following suit as a sign of team spirit or loyalty.\nOn the other hand, it can be seen as a positive sign for better improvement with a new management coming in if the predecessor is considered ineffective and much disliked by the employees. Morals will definitely be improved if unproductive and unqualified personnel are replaced with a more efficient and effective team.


How on earth have people reached level 7? they must be on continually. Although you are only allowed a certain amount of questions and answers so how do they do it, they must get loads of best answer points.

laser hair removal surgery? \ndoes anyone know any in formation on laser hair removal surgery in phoenix arizona, and also does your hair EVER grow back? any more information on the surgery will help thanks.

The success of laser hair removal depends a great deal on your skin tone and hair color and the type of laser being used. Some lasers work better on light skin and some work better on dark skin.\n\nLaser hair removal is not 100% permanent. You should expect some hair to regrow.


i heard on a tv show that the first injectio nthey give the inmates juss paralyzes them so u cant see the pain and anguish on their faces when they r dieing....yeah they deserve the death penalty but isnt that horrible!?!?!?

Yes it is awful. Death takes from seven to 45 minutes, and the anasthetic can wear off long before that. OUCH.\nThe feelings are conscious suffocation, intense burning, cramping. The pain is so bad it is illegal to use this procedure for euthanising animals.\nI am not saying they deserve or don't deserve the pain...just that the whole point was it is supposed to be the most humane.If it was me, I'll take a firing squad any day.Oh BTW, they used sterilized needles in the case of governor reprieve. It happened once that a guy got a reprieve after the first injection.


If the davinchi code is full of lies as the christians squeal scream then why are they trying to ban it? It sounds like christianity is not the truth.

Harry Potter is fictional.  Some Christians wanted to ban that as well, due to sorcery.  Then Shouldn't they have wanted to ban The allegorical "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe." as well?


Is it better to work or do some PG course? or to work for some time and then continue with higher studies. What kind of jobs can I get after completing my graduation. What other streams apart from IT can I take up after graduation as I find it very annoying when my programs dont run? (Worst thing.... I frankly dont know my interest area) Plz mention the scope along with ur answers. Thank you in advance.

since there is a new breed of IT engineers you will not stand a chance against them in any arena unless you pursue higher studies.since you don't seem to have a penchant for programming i'd suggest you to try your hand at data base management or networking.off the two dba would be the best choice as it is the need of the hour.moreover software firms are expecting a shortage of manpower across the nation very soon.

i am taking cortizone 10 for the itch but will this help heal the rashes too? if not what will heal the rashes? thanks for any advice

A product called Ivyrest is the best thing I have found to dry up Poison Ivy.  Only bad thing is that the cream is pink, but it really does work.  Other options are thing like rubbing alcohol, does not work as well, and things like that.  I would suggest the Ivyrest though, it is good stuff as long as you don't mind have the pink creme on your legs.  If you don't want it on your legs when you are out, just wear it at home and it will dry it out, might take longer though.


i've heard he's got a killer quick draw, but i'm pretty fast myself. i would hate to have to gun down the son of god over a game of cards. should i just accept my losses and leave the game, or challenge him and possibly have a gunfight right here in the saloon?

Since he knows everything, it's not really cheating.  So, what you really need to do is put up a sign saying, "No Omnipotents Allowed".  \n\nIt's kinda like playing against the computer.  The computer could beat you everytime if it wanted.


My internet is down and I cant get online, I have it pluged up and it don't work, any suggestions of how can I undo everything to default, or how can I get online?

Hello!\nI am 15 years old and in need of some advice.  I have a horrible fear/phobia of vomiting.  It may sound stupid, but it is so bad that whenever a family member of mine comes down with the flu and vomits, I basically lock myself in my room, shake uncontrollably, worry, talk to myself, hardly eat anything, hardly get any sleep, and cry. Is there any chance I will grow out of this yet?  I have had this fear since I was in 2nd grade.  Do you have any suggestions?\nThank you!

Was there a specific event in second grade that began your fear of vomiting?  Most extreme fears and phobias begin this way.\n\nIt almost sounds like you may be having "flashbacks" whenever you are exposed to vomiting currently.  You are also very aware of what triggers your fear.\n\nThe best thing to do is to see a therapist who can help you become "desensitized" or much less reactive to your triggers.  The methods they use for doing this are very well tested and can be very successful.\n\nCheck out the American Psychological Association web-site: www.apa.org.  You can look up information about phobias.  There is even a "therapist locator" directory that can help you find a therapist in your area that specializes in helping people with phobias.\n\nGood luck to you!

My ex-boyfriend was going to prom tomorrow w/ this girl. Yesterday she broke up w/ him and she told him she was never planning in going to prom w. him. Even though he's my ex, i felt bad for him. Does that sound weird?

It sounds like you care. There is nothing wrong with caring


I keep making stupid little mistakes. I stutter alot now. My words come out wrong, I cant express my self they way I want. If I want to say a simple sentence I have to think about how im goin to word it. I find myself making simple addition mistakes at work and Im having a hard time memorizing steps to things at work. Am I sick. Its starting to interfere with my personal life. Serious answers only please.

A few things you can do to help you out are\n\n1. Read, reading will stimulate your brain activity knocking out some of those cobwebs that may be slowing you down.  Make sure you read something you enjoy, so you will actually do it.\n\n2. Do puzzles, like word searches, crosswords, whatever you enjoy, I personally like the word searches.  Doing this will keep you focused which will help you stay sharp and clearer.\n\n3. Exercise; when you exercise you release ceratin hormones that will help you stay clearer and "smarter," exercise at least 3-4 times a week, morning is the best time, wake up an hour earlier and try it, get in a good habit and you will notice immediate results.\n\n4. Get a good night sleep, at least six solid hours, this is paramount in staying focused.\n\n5. Eat right, remember you are what you eat...this is a fact.  Use portion control, (proteins, complex carbs and vegies should be about the size of your fist) when eating and drink plenty of water.  Also take a good multi vitamin for added nutrients.\n\nTry these things for three months and I guarantee you will notice a big difference, you'll be more confident and secure which will make you "smarter" and you'll feel better.\n\nGood luck\n\nDr.Mark

ive been seing rap vidoes on mtv2 and theres been alot of music videos that have skateboarding in them somewhere one of them was lupe fiasco's song kick push and there were a few other vidoes too and i think it was in the ridin video somewhere

Hip Hop is an evolving culture. It changes with each generation! Since Hip Hop is more of a movement, it has no boundaries. After Lupe Fiasco came out with Kick,Push- he opened the door for skateboarding/rap. He made it cool and aceptable for black skateboarders. So people are going to roll with popular new concepts. Look at The Neptunes; they have a skateboarder image. I'd say it started with them. Hip Hop is about self expression. A melting pot of individual skills, knowledge, personalities, sports, styles, fashion, & art incorporated in music & life!\n\nBut I feel you. Just like the videos with all the bling bling, grillz, half naked women, & rims & etc... People can run things into the ground!


i need to know so many friends have done this 2 me

I think the main reason why "friends" talk about you behind your back is because they either don't like you or there's something about you that they don't like. There are other reasons as well why they talk about you behind your back. Those so-called people whom you called "friends" talk about you behind your back, they are not your friends. Friends do not bad mouth each other and they're there for one another. People talk about other people regardless, and it is up to us to not be so concerned of what they think. I learned in life to pick and choose your friends carefully. If they want to be a part of your life, be a positive influence, picks you up when you're down, and they're there for you, that is a friend. Don't worry about the fact that those people talk about you. Be who you are and stay that way. DO NOT change yourself for nobody.

And what can they do now and which field they should go in after BS.or can they go in to Pharmacy?

There is this guy when I try to talk to him he talks to me but very little and when I text him he always gives me a one word answer back. Than when I stop talking to him all together he is all over me asking me if I'm mad at him and wanting to hang out. What is doing playing hard to get or what is his deal? He is also 27 years old you would think he would grow up by now.

see lots of us guys only like to talk alone face to face. we also are nervous in front of girls. so he may be too nervous and accedentally make a wrong move on you to were you may break up with him


*He takes a glance at me sometimes, like he really likes me*

Instead of trying to impress him, why not try TALKING to him.


Also even if this is true, do you think its worth the fact i'll have to pee alot?

It will kill you.\nYou wont allow your body time to process the water and you will develop hyponatremia. This occurs when we consume to much water, and the water dilutes the concentration of the body's sodium.\n\nIt is smarter to drink could water, then warm water. The cold water makes your body work harder, as it likes to make the water body temp. So drink cold water to speed up your metabolism. But do it in moderation.\n\nI have a special report on how to speed up your metabolism.\nGot to my site, sign up for the newsletter and I'll email it to you.\nGOD BLESS

Say your employer bills your work out at $175 an hour. How much of that money should you make an hour? I have heard that you should be payed 1/3 of your billing rate. The other 2/3 goes to the overhead of the company? Any body know of a standard ratio? I am in the graphic design industry.

You need to calculate your benfits into what you are paid vs. your billable rate. If you were a consultant and were being billed at $175 you the overhead should average $20 to $30 and you get the rest which would be $145 to $155...maybe you should go out on your own as a consultant ??

what is meaning of lean construction ?\nhow these production management concept applied into construction industy.\ncase study is basically for building project, how that concept is applied into small firm

Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery -- a new way to design and build capital facilities.  Lean production management has caused a revolution in manufacturing design, supply and assembly. \n\nApplied to construction, Lean changes the way work is done throughout the delivery process. Lean Construction extends from the objectives of a lean production system - maximize value and minimize waste - to specific techniques and applies them in a new project delivery process. As a result:\n\n    * The facility and its delivery process are designed together to better reveal and support customer purposes. Positive iteration within the process is supported and negative iteration reduced.\n    * Work is structured throughout the process to maximize value and to reduce waste at the project delivery level.\n    * Efforts to manage and improve performance are aimed at improving total project performance because it is more important than reducing the cost or increasing the speed of any activity.\n    * "Control" is redefined from "monitoring results" to "making things happen." The performance of the planning and control systems are measured and improved.\n\nThe reliable release of work between specialists in design, supply and assembly assures value is delivered to the customer and waste is reduced. Lean Construction is particularly useful on complex, uncertain and quick projects. It challenges the belief that there must always be a trade between time, cost, and quality

well Bush is unskilled and he makes $165,000


twisted my knee and had bad pain. doc did an MRI which showed fluid around the knee and a bone bruise.  he had no advice except let it heal.  How serious can one of these be and it is really painful.  Should i insist to see a specialist?  Since I did not fall on the knee, how can it be bruised?  And why was there a lot of fluid?  thanks in advance.

It could be a compression bruise, like landing too hard on that leg and pushing the bones together and squashing the soft tissue. Probably the best thing would be to apply moist heat to it 2-3 times a day. Keep it elevated as much as possible to avoid fluid build up. Also a hot patch like the ones made by IcyHot or Bengay might help reduce the swelling in the knee. Damage to any joint can cause fluid build up. That is what causes swelling. Swelling can occur as an obvious bulging or it can be within the soft tissue in the joint ans not be noticeable to the eye.Keep your leg rested as much as possible but you will need to use it some each day to keep it from stiffening up. Good luck!\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

A friend and I went out for ladies night last night around my apartment. She lives further away and asked if she could stay at my place and get ready in the morning for work. Were both in our mid-20's and went dancing and talked with some guys. We both were more buzzed than planned taking advantage of the drink specials. We got back to my place and she asked if I would share my queen bed with her as she has back problems and didn't want the couch, I said OK. I got ready in the bathroom first and went to bed in a t-shirt and thong. She went in and came out a bit later butt-naked! This shocked me, I'm thinking OMG. Then she gets under the sheets and starts working her way towards me. The next thing I know she has her hand on my nipple and is kissing my neck. I'm like NO, I'm not interested. During the night and next morning I thought differently and was curous what might have happened. How do I re-visit the opportunity  with her after I've already said no?Is it gone? Is this urge normal?

have me come over with a camcorder and i will record it for you. you can watch it together later and decide if it is for you.

i  really liked this guy.although we are not close coz his friends are unfriendly and i cant have a chance to get to know him..

You don't really need to impress him you know. Unless you just want to earn his respect or something.\n\nIf you want some alone time with him away from his friends and you really like him here's something you can try.\n\nGet a simple small card. Write a message, something to the effect of:\n\n"You are invited to coffee/movie at {insert place here} at {insert time} with {Insert your name}. If you are not available and wish to cancel your reservation or reschedule it please call this number {insert your number} to talk with a representative. P.S. Please note that this is not an offer of anything else other than coffee/movie. It was just that I got this vibe that you might be a super cool chap and I want to make sure. Kind Regards {Insert your name here}"\n\nThis is nice coz it has the effect of being girly at the same time it also says that you aren't trying to be anyone's baby mama.\n\nHe'll want to come; at the very least, out of curiousity.


I have a friend who´s sister in law has a green card,she married an U.S. citizen. They got married in Kosovo 4 years ago.She has been living in the U.S. for 2 years. Now her Husband want´s a divorce. Can the green card be taken away from her, does she have more rights because she been married more then 2 years? Or does she also have to leave the country in 30-60 days?

When you get a green card by marrying an American citizen you get under a 2-year condition.  The INS does this to assure that marriages are real and not fake.  \n\nYou say your friend has been married for more than 2-years.  The "key" to her keeping her green card is if she's had her meeting with the INS to remove the condition.  If this has happened then her green card can not be taken away because of the divorce.  If the condition is still on her green card then it will be taken away if she gets divorced.\n\nIf she gets divorced and does not have the condition removed her green card will expire and she will be an illegal alien.  Legally she should leave before her card expires.

type accent? I have listened to various Cockney/Cornish/Welsh/Scottish accents that I can't comprehend at yet the same person sings crystal clear. Is it the accent or the singing that is fake?

Actually, all trained singers who sing in English use a special accent, which isn't like their speaking accents either for Brits or Americans.  In order to create very nice-sounding vowels in singing, singers are trained to create the vowels differently.  This may give you the impression that they are speaking American English, but perhaps that is just because you are used to it, since Americans have to be trained to produce the vowels this way as well.  So the UK singers aren't being fake; they are using pronunciation that fits the context, and Americans do the same thing.


After him coming and living with me for 2 years and me being a Australian born...after he got his resident he left after torturing me\n is there anything i can do?

If he has already become a permanent Australian resident then there is no way you can send him back.\n\nHowever depending on what he did to you. Eg if he stole money from you or lived (promising to contribute) but didnt pay expenses you could go to the police and make a report for them to go and see him and get your money back or take him to the small claims tribunal (court) to retrieve your money. So I guess it depends on what hes done to you! If you give more of an insight as to what he did to torture you maybe we can put our heads together and come up with something.


Mozilla Firefox and IE.\n\nShould I delete one of them or is it alright to keep both?

Other than taking up disk space (and if you're short on that, you will see performance issues depending on what all you're running and your computer's memory), having two programs that do nearly the same thing shouldn't be a problem.\nIn fact, having both IE and FF (or IE & Opera, or Mozilla, or any of the others) is actually not a bad idea. Internet Explorer has a bunch of "features" which other browsers have some difficulty emulating (or just don't do); and websites that take advantage of these "features" tend to work much better on IE than FF. Some of these "features" can be used by unscrupulous sorts to hijack your computer: which is why I tend to use a browser that doesn't support them.\nBut to answer your question: Yes, it's alright to keep them both.


If a person had a reduced ability to sweat.  Would taking Sudafed help them tolerate the heat?

I've never heard of this as a side effect of Sudafed.  Two possibilities:\n\n(1) It's not a side effect of the drug and you are actually having fevers and/or chills because you are sick.\n\n(2) It's an alpha-adrenergic agonist, so actually does cause peripheral vasoconstriction.  In normal doses I don't think it is potent enough to cause so much vasoconstriction that your extremities will become cold....  You might be taking too much.  I would expect other side effects to manifest first, such as headache, tremors, and heart palpitations--things that would probably make you stop taking the drug because of the discomfort.  You could also just be unusually sensitive to it.  It might just be a freak side effect for you, in particular.  Everybody's physiology is a little different.\n\nSudafed won't help anyone tolerate heat.  In fact it will probably make the situation worse.  Since it is a stimulant their body will end up producing more heat.  Peripheral vasoconstriction--even though it would make your extremities feel cold--would actually be counterproductive because it would reduce the person's ability to dissipate heat.


I think they told us this in driver's education, but I'm not sure if it was just a scare tactic. Also, I've seen it in movies and stuff. If anyone could provide if it's true that it happens, and if so, especially, then why.

It is absolutely possible, however, if the force of the impact was enough to cause your shoes to fly off, you probably have bigger problems than where your shoes will land.\n\nAs a firefighter and EMT, I've responded to many car accidents and have seen some pretty incredible things.  I've even picked up shoes that still had feet in them.  Now, the force of the impact didn't cause the feet to seperate, of course.  There was significant intrusion into the passenger compartment, and it was some of the damaged, torn metal that  amputated the driver's feet.\n\nOther things I've seen that demonstrate the sheer force with which these impacts occur:\n\nPurses ruptured at the seam (like a water balloon)\nInternal organs ruptured (again, like a water balloon)\nGlasses stuck in the dash\nBodies ejected through every opening imaginable\nWatches and other jewelry knocked off\nSeat belts broken

Can some 15  be a sucess in life who lives to be 80? What about a 15 year old who dies at 15? Can the sucess or failure be judged prior to passing? Can people who have lead almost identical lives be deemed one a failure and the other sucess? Is it based on expectations set on you or is it self formed?

Sucess is subjective. What mekes that particular person happy. Two people can lead exact identical lives and yet one could be less satisfied with it than the other.


action would it be appropriate for their church leaders to take?

the Bible, it tells us that in ancient times God was "the Holy One of Israel," and as such he demanded that Israel be clean, unsullied. (Psalm 89:18) He told his chosen people: "You must prove yourselves holy, because I am holy." (Leviticus 11:45) Anyone who wanted to "ascend into the mountain of God" had to be "innocent in his hands and clean in heart." (Psalm 24:3, 4) That meant more than merely avoiding sinful acts. It meant "the hating of bad."—Proverbs 8:13.\n\nWhen the congregation of Christians became "the Israel of God," similar moral standards were laid down for them. (Galatians 6:16) Christians too were to "abhor what is wicked." (Romans 12:9) God's words to Israel also applied to them: "You must be holy, because I am holy." (1 Peter 1:15, 16) Such unholy practices as fornication and adultery, etc. were not to corrupt the Christian congregation. Those refusing to stop engaging in such things would be excluded from God's Kingdom. (Romans 1:26, 27; 2:22; 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10; Hebrews 13:4) In these "last days," the same standards apply to all who call themselves Christians. (2 Timothy 3:1; John 10:16) \n\nIf Church leaders know their bible, then they would know they have a responsibility to keep the church and/or congregation clean from those who practice sin willfully.


I have been with a man whom I had asked 2 years ago about Heptitic C if he had it, he told me NO! So I have been with him since then, sharing the same home, toothbrush at times, and of course the same shaver, I have cleaned up cuts he has recieved in the past and also share the bed with him! I found out in Feb. this year after i was taken to the hospital for anixety reaction and told my liver enymes were up so i had blood work done, Now I am getting shots for A & B, I went to see a specialist, about C. I have also been fighting a divorce for 2.5 years. But this man I have been with has denied he had Hep. C, I found some medical records of his and it confirmed he has had it prior to 2001. So he lied to me. He know longer lives with me I kicked him out but know I faced with something I don't know a whole lot about, My friend said it is the second thing to aids, is that true! Please help, I'm scared..........Lost and wondering!

It is hepatitis C. And no it is not the same as HIV/AIDS. \n\nIt is treatable...I believe Pamela Anderson and Naomi Judd are two "famous" people living with the disease.\n\nThe most important thing you can do for yourself is to educate yourself. Not knowing about your disease, does not allow you to know what precautions and treatments are available.


What was the member of this bands last name, Jamie .....

Try wikipedia... they have everything!! It's the google of encyclopedias!!!


Her name is Linda, possibly Sweet, York, or Baxter...last I heard, she was in Alabama!  This is for real

No, I don't.  Just wanted to give you an FYI--I am also looking for my birth mother and posted a similar question here and Yahoo! pulled it and gave me a violation.  I guess they consider looking for ones birth-mother an invasion of privacy.\n\nBest of luck on your search.\n\nHave a great day.


My husband is a Korean male who holds Permanent Residence Status in Canada. His English is perfect (really!)He has a BA degree, majoring in Contemporary English Literature from a BC University, as well as 2 years teaching experience in Seoul, Korea. What are his chances of finding work in the ESL teaching industry? (any school or tutoring would be good...) Thank you in advance for any help you could give to us, we are moving back to Canada in September 2006. Bye^^

To be quite honest, it's not a matter of the market. It's more a matter of so-called 'native' speakers. In Vancouver, most of the ESL schools downtown (which there are quite a few around downtown) are owned by either Japanese, Hong Kongers or Koreans. And you know very well from experience in Asia that they are very discriminatory and only prefer to hire a 'white face', rather than an asian face. And they would tell you that it's the students' choice whom many of them are from Asia (Taiwan, Japan, Korea, etc.). So I hate to say that his chances of teaching ESL is very slim or zero. But one way to start off is to volunteer his service in a community centre where he can gain local canadian experience which can help him seek future employment in this field. So be prepared to face the discrimination or prejudice in the beginning and with self-preservance, he may come out alright with a school which is more open-minded and give him a chance. G'luck!


Whould you date a man with bad teeth and treated you good or a man that had body odor that treated you good?

Both are fixable problems, so either. That is, as long as he'd be willing to fix said problems.


I would like to create a portal which search various mailing lists and webpages for information. Do I need to write my own search engine or are their toolkits avaliable? I am familar with php, mysql and xhtml.

Can the Da Vinci Code have sum truth to it. what do you think is true or false?

Yes. Not all of it is true (factual, historical), not all of it is false (fictional, mythical).\n\nCan you handle the truth? or the falsity?
