i always hear love yourself first but i find it easier to try and not be aware of a self. \njust try to LOVE.  \nthe world around me that is.  \nor will i then lose contact with a part of me?\nBut there is no me more valid then the world, the world is me and i am the world and....and.....and.....

first the world and after myself! if you don't give love how will others give love back? love is not selfish,love doesn't demand. you'll never lose a part of yourself if you learn how to love. love is everything. and at the end you will learn to love yourself by learning to love others! :)


Due to my group research assignment, can anyone please tell me what is the difference between "Soft" and "Hard" approaches to human resource management? Can you please give me some examples to let me pick it up quickly.

Hard approach refers to the typical bureaucratic style of management where employees are considered a cost and are treated like machines. Recently organizations are adopting what is called the ‘soft’ approach where employees are treated as humans and considered an asset for the organization. For example career  and personal development of the employees is a good example of the soft approach


ARE OCCUPATIONAL AND INJURIESILLNESSES INCREASING?\nAre workers aware of tne risks in their work?

What you need is a health risk appraisal. This is a standardized assessment tool that asks just the kind of questions you are interested in. You can see one example at infotech.com. Another source for learning about worksite health and injury issues is WELCOA.com. It is full of free "white papers" on a variety of worksite issues.


you can see your reflection in still water. it behaves like a mirror when you view it in some angle. but, this does not happen underwater.\nplease explain.

Refrective index water should be the same throught, provided that all the other conditions are the same throughout -- such as temperature, presense of impurity, etc.\n\nIts not the refrective index of water alone that determines whether light will be reflected or not or at what angle the light should be projected to be reflected. When you are talking about the surface of the water, you are really talking about the interface between water and air. When you are talking about "under the water", light is not changing media.


So here's the deal: I had one job interview today and was offered the job right at the interview, and have already set up my orientation days.  But I also have another job interview tommorrow at a different place.  Should I still go?  Keeping in mind that this is only a part-time retail job, and both are pretty much the same positions.

Absolutely! You should definitely go to the 2nd interview.  In today's market you should keep your options open.  As long as you haven't already signed any kind of employment contract, you should see what the other job offers.


My computer will not boot up it says that my MSDOS version is too new for my OS so when I boot into MSDOS from a floppy it wont see my hard drive.  My computer also wont boot from the CD Drive. Any suggestions.

When a computer has a hard drive that is/was not partitioned  using DOS's FDISK partition tool, and formatted FAT 12 or FAT 16, authentic IBM and or Microsoft DOS through 6.22 for Microsoft and 7.0 for IBM the single largest partition that can be "seen", accessed and or used is 2 Gb. Additionally authentic IBM and or Microsoft DOS through 6.22 for Microsoft and 7.0 for IBM do not have the ability to "see", access and or use partition types of any size that are formatted with a file system other than FAT, such as Windows XP's NTFS or any Unix/Linux partition.\n\nAs for booting from the cd drive, there are several factors:\n1) Some older CD Drives canot read the boot image from the CD\n2) Some CD drives "lose" the ability to boot as they begin to fail\n3) The systems BIOS needs to have the CD drive(s) listed in the boot order, preferrably before the hard drive.\n4) And of course the CD disk in the drive must be a bootable one.\n\nWindows 98 had a file system called FAT32, which is also "invisable" to a real DOS boot, however a Windows 98 Boot Floppy can boot in what looks like real DOS and access the FAT32 partitions.\n\nFrank

MY sister in love with some one else and she is a married women,her hubby is very big and controlling.He tells her how to run her life.

You have to talk only with your sister.  Help her see that she is staying where she is because it is "comfortable."  (maybe not comfortable as you and I see it, but a comfortable situation for her, because she doesn't have to face the unknown.)\n\nDon't betray her confidence, unless she is in physical danger.\n\nWhat a good sibling you are for caring so much!  I hope you can help her!


Usually when you lift up an optical mouse, the red light under it would dim out after couple seconds, to save the energy, right?\n\nI got this optical mouse from Logitech. I think it was the cheapest of its kind (10 dollars). But then even if I lift it up high from the desk, the red light won't dim. Even when I turn the computer off, the light is on and the brightness won't change at all. This BRIGHT red light is always on. I know other mice are not like this.\n\nAnyone know if this is still NORMAL? Maybe it's because I got the cheap one...

IT IS NORMAL I HAVE A 50 DOLLAR MICROSOFT WIRELESS ONE AND EVEN IF YOU TURN OFF COMPUTER IT IS ALWAYS ON, ONLY THE ONES THAT HAVE A DOCK TURN OFF SO SORRY ITS ALWAYS ON. BUY LOTS OF BATTERIES


What gives eyes there color, and how does it work?

Are you asking what determines the eye colour we get? Or are you asking what gives the eyes pigment?\n\nIf you're asking what gives us the colour eyes we get, it's genetics. You get half your genetic makeup from your mother, and half from your father. Let's use blue and brown as an example.\n\nThere are two basic types of genes: dominant and recessive. Dominant genes are what they sound like: dominant. Recessive genes are "weaker" if you like, and will only manifest in the case of being the majority.\n\nBrown eyes are always dominant over blue. Blue eyes are recessive.\n\nSay your mother has blue eyes, and your father has brown eyes. The genes your parents carry that determine their own eye colour, came from their parents. There are many possible combinations, but let's say that your father carries a brown gene and a blue gene, and your mother carries two blue genes.\n\nYour father's eyes turn out brown even though he carries a blue gene because the brown is dominant. It will always win out over any other colour. But there is still a possibility that your eyes could be blue.\n\nThis is because you could inherit a blue gene from him, and a blue gene from your mother - two blue genes would cause your eyes to be blue, too.\n\nHowever, if you inherited your father's brown gene and your mother's blue gene, your eyes would be brown.\n\nClear as mud?  :)\n\nHere are your parents' eye colour genes. B = brown, and b = blue.\n\nFather:\n\nB b\n\nMother:\n\nb b\n\nSo you get these possible combinations:\n\nB b\nb b\nb B\n\nIn any case where "B" exists, the "B" is dominant and will win - giving you brown eyes as a result. Yet if by chance you inherit your father's "b" and your mother's "b", your eyes will be blue.\n\nEdit:\n\nHere's information on what causes the pigmentation in your eyes - that is, what gives the colour that you see:\n\n"The exact color of the human eye is determined by the amount of a single pigment called melanin that is present in the iris of the eye. Melanin is a dark brown pigment that is deposited on the front surface of the iris. If a lot of melanin is present, the eye will appear brown or even black. If very little melanin is present the iris appears blue. Intermediate amounts of melanin produces gray, green, hazel or varying shades of brown. Genes work by directing the production of enzymes, chemicals that control all of the processes that occur in our body. Eye color genes, through the enzymes they produce, direct the amount and placement of melanin in the iris. Newborn babies all have blue eyes because at the time of birth they haven't begun to produce melanin in their irises. A baby's eyes may change to green, brown or other colors as melanin production begins. Albinos have no pigment in their irises so the blood vessels in the back of the eye reflect light making the eyes look pink. Albinos also lack melanin in their skin and hair. Since albinism is caused by a recessive allele, two normal parents may produce an albino. An albino can have normal offspring if the other parent is normal for melanin production."\n\nI got this from: http://www.seps.org/oracle/oracle.archive/Life_Science.Anatomy/2002.12/001040227218.11496


I hear so much about how bad California has gotten politically, etc.  I would like to hear from Californians.

California, like anywhere else has benefits and disadvantages to living here.  San Diego politics are a mess, Duke Cunningham was just hauled off to jail, we have a huge pension problem, several of our city council members were indicted in a strip club scandal and it seems like our city governement is unresponsive to the people who live here.  The state is no better, remember we recalled our governor and replaced Davis with the girlie man terminator.  \n\nWe have a huge problem with illegal aliens who use services like education and health care to which they don't contribute.  As a result, most of our schools are over crowded and under performing.  Our public hospital emergency rooms can have 6-8 hour waits, are inefficient and rate poorly for service.  We are always faced with some new school bond, hospital bond, library bond or increase in the sales tax because of it.\n\nIt is really expensive to live here.  Traffic conjestion is a fact of life.  Owning a home is out of reach for a lot of middle income people.  \n\nBut, it is a beautiful state to live in, as well.  Miles of beaches, mountains, deserts, forests, and there is always something to do.  Where else can you go from the ocean to the mountains in the same day?  The weather is generally comfortable throughout the year.  \n\nWe have an election coming up and Californians aren't afraid of change.  Maybe some fresh faces will change the course of our future!


I am bored with all the other websites,do you know any good ones?


I love it when my boyfriend kisses me in a certain spot on my neck, he knows exactly how to get me xited

Watching my girlfriend undress slowly, sexually, touching herself as she moves her clothes off of her body.


yeah, i got about 50 before, when i was swimming in highschool...i dunno now...


Currently i am going to setup a small office involving 15 computers. Is there necessary for me to buy 15 OEM license of Windows XP Profesional or i just need to buy one and then install to all 15 computers? And, is there any 'group license' that will be cheaper then 15 OEM license? Thanks.

using the same license for all 15 computers is not wise because Microsoft recently updated their Windows genuine advantage program to exclude the other 14 computers from getting updates. The program then accuses you of piracy, and posts signs all over your computer that "this copy of windows may be counterfeit (including posting signs on the boot and lo gin screens)\n\nit may be sensible to go with a version of Linux, depending on the needs of the office.\n\ncheck out all the links below (1 copy of xandros can be installed on all the computers and is the most compatible with windows applications)


Just interested. I think I know who it might be, but I'm not sure.

Shockingly Barry Bonds set this record in 2001, on his way to 73.  He had 39 at the all-star break.


1 Samuel 20:41 \n"After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with is face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together - but David wept the most." (NIV)\nKJV says "...and they kissed one another and wept with one another, until David exceeded."\nThe Living Bible says "...and they sadly shook hands, tears running down their cheeks until David could weep no more."\n\nA quick look at the original Hebrew shows that what was actually said was, "they kissed and wept until David became great."\nIn case you are confused, that means he got an erection. That's because, of course, David and Jonathan were having a "physical" relationship. Why is this so terrible that biblical scholars had to cover it up by lying about what the texts say? Maybe if David was doing it (not to mention Daniel and Ruth), it's really not such a terrible sin.

According to Strong's Concordance, gadal, the word in the KJV that is translated exceeded, pronounced gaw-dal', means:\n\n"A primitive root; properly to twist (compare H1434), that is, to be (causatively make) large (in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride): - advance, boast, bring up, exceed, excellent, be (-come, do, give, make, wax), great (-er, come to . . estate, + things), grow (up), increase, lift up, magnify (-ifical), be much set by, nourish (up), pass, promote, proudly [spoken], tower."\n\nAccording to Brown-Driver-Biggs Hebrew Definitions, it means:\n\n1) to grow, become great or important, promote, make powerful, praise, magnify, do great things\n1a) (Qal)\n1a1) to grow up\n1a2) to become great\n1a3) to be magnified\n1b) (Piel)\n1b1) to cause to grow\n1b2) to make great, powerful\n1b3) to magnify\n1c) (Pual) to be brought up\n1d) (Hiphil)\n1d1) to make great\n1d2) to magnify\n1d3) to do great things\n1e) (Hithpael) to magnify oneself\n\nNowhere in there is there any indication of David having an erection.  This is a favorite verse of some to "prove" that homosexual activities was condoned in the Bible.  However, there is no reason to conclude that the word, exceeded (as found in the KJV) means that David got an erection.  A man can love another man without it meaning that it is erotic, just as a man can kiss another man without it being erotic.\n\nFor some clarity, I would offer that you obtain e-sword (www.e-sword.net) and get all the versions of the Bible that they offer (for free) and all the commentaries, and then research what this verse means.  It is very clear, in light of the context, that it is not talking about David and Jonathan having a homosexual relationship.\n\nLawrence\nhttp://www.truebiblesermons.com


when my bf ejaculates it has lumps which are like jelly. what is this and what does it mean

This is nothing to worry about its normal. All it is, is just sperm sticking together. All guys have different ejaculations of sperm the same as women. But hey everyones different if we weren't what would this world be coming to.


i have nothing against christianity, i do believe all religions are of good faith. but these 2 smart-alec came to my shop, preaching to me and trying to 'force' me into christianity. i told them i'm a buddhist and as long as i dont do anything bad to anyone, it's regardless of which religion im in. they then told me: the church says if u dont believ in jesus, u'll go to hell. wtf... i chased them out of my shop. i cant believe pple actually go ard trying to force others into their sect, trying to undermine and insult others religion. is it what the church really teaches???\nkindly enlighten...

WHO CARES what some ignorant christian says anyway.\nTHERE IS NO SUCH PLACE AS HELL!!!\nSo don't worry about going there.\nAs far as Jesus is concerned.....He had alot of cool things to say. But so did Muhammed, and Buddah and even Jonh Calvin (sometimes). The point is...just live your life, be nice, be humble, be generous, don't lie or steal.\nYou'll be fine.


No body armor, slashed benefits, misuse of military might, poor planning, what do they do for you?

God revealed his name as YHWH (Exodus 3:14) pronounced "Yahweh".\nHow did the word YHWH change to JEHOVAH? Who changed it?

An anglicized pronunciation of the Hebrew tetragrammaton, YHWH, which are the four consonant letters used to spell God’s name in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14). The Hebrews considered the name of God too holy to pronounce and susbstituted the word “Lord” (adonai) when the text was read. The vowels of the word “adonai” was combined with YHWH to get the word “Jehovah” which was first used in the 12th century. A more accurate pronunciation of YHWH would be “Yahweh.


If we assume any particles we can prove both wave nature and partical nature of light as by de-broglie,and also all thearies of light. Ican try to prove it.                     We have a satallite around sun then weget more information about sun as well as other particles like comet and as well as some other particales that can attract by the sun.so my thinking is so different from others.please reply myuestion.

Vacuum contains no particle (in classical sense) but lots of electromagnetic waves. photon (as a particle is a quantum mechanics concept) exists in vacuum. The problem with satellites around the sun is the heat radiation thats is emitted from the sun. Its difficult for instruments to work at that temperature. Things will melt though in vacuum.


According 2 some researches it shows that because of mens have less responsiblity than womens they are not too emotional. Womens reponsibility started since they was small until die.....

WOMAN ARE VERY EMOTIONAL BECAUSE THEYRE NOT SCARED TO EXPRESS HOW THEY FEEL. INDEED MEN ARE EMOTIONAL TOO, ITS JUST THEYRE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW A TOUGH STRONG EMOTIONLESS IMAGE.  WOMAN ARE KNOWN TO BE WEAK AND EMOTIONAL, WEARAS STEROTYPE SHOWS THAT MEN ARE NOT.  CONCLUDING THAT SINCE WOMAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND ARENT AFRAID TO WEAR THEIR HEART ON THE SLEAVE, THEY ARE MORE 'EMOTIONAL'.  IN MY OPINION, MEN ARE JUST AS EMOTIONAL AS WOMAN, THEY JUST DONT HAVE ANY BA**S TO ADMIT AND SHOW IT....... =)     \n\nTHERES A SAYING, "ONLY A REAL MAN WEAR PINK"  ♥


the photo impression is use to editting the pictures whatever i like.

you can try finding the instructions on thier web site, but I would think that if you had a legal copy, you would have the instructions.


That was incredibly fake.  A nice attempt though, the video effects were it's downfall.  Perhaps if the light changes were far more subtle, and the end scene a little more intense it would be a little cooler.  The blur effect is the ultimate give away, anyone who saw The Ring will probably immediate notice the similarities.


Maybe so but I like to look at the whole package. See I cant lie to my wife cause she can tell. So what I do i sthink very quickly about one thing I really love about her and then I realize what a beautiful spirit she has and no lady on the face of the earth can be more beautiful than that soooo when my wife asks is this girl more beautiful than me I tell her of course not and Im telling her the truth.


encouraged me in what i was scared of doing and i will be facing it tomorrow. let's keep up, who knows your ans may save someones life out there, and for you all who think, you ain't paid, get lost.


Opera sigers have been known to set crystal glasses in vibration with their powerful voices. In fact, an amplified human voice can shatter the glass, but only at certain fundamental frequencies. Why are only certain fundamental frequenceies able to break the glass?

It is about the frequency, not the amplitude. Any frequency below 20 000 Hertz is capable of shattering glass provided it's constant and from an uniform source and is properly directed onto a subject, which is glass in this case.


will you prefer marrying a virgin or someone thats not a virgin and why? please explain.

ive broken up with my second gf since moving here to south carolina and this is the third time for the same reason. i was born in ireland and raised in boston and i have to admit i was raised very tradional and i feel that i cant handle my gf to still need a job after they move in with me. i really enjoy taking care of them and making them happy, plus im not afraid to work, i would take on a second job if we need extra cash. one of my exes claims shes happy with a guy who just got out of jail and is doing tattoos out of his garage. i was just wondering why old values are an insult women now a days and why they are willing to have their children raised in child care and not by the mother and father? thank you for your input

To bad you live so far away cause I would LOVE to find a guy like you. Tired of the bad guys....Good luck


What do you think about this ? I want to believe but I start doubting every time when I think about the science and evolution. And if there is God - is He perfect ? Why ?

Just remember, evolution is an untested, unproven theory.  In fact, it cannot be tested or proven.  If one looks at the scientific method and what constitutes a theory, evolution barely qualifies, if at all.


i looked at this web site http://www.newsday.com/sports/ny-ufc-fight,0,4487235.story?coll=ny-sports-mezz\nand it said jeremy horn won a fight due to arm bar...but for some reason i didnt get to see that fight...i rewinded it and fast forwarded just to make sure i didnt accidently miss it but i didnt...(i have it recorded on my dvr) i am racking my brain over this one...\nplease help!

I didn't see the fight either. They usually never have enough time to show all of the fights because they don't have enough time. If you buy it on DVD you'll see the rest. I really wanted to see Jeremy Horn fight though!


yes, I did a looong time ago (they're just barely releasing it in US because of the World Cup). I liked it. Of course you know its almost impossible that something like that (getting draft by a great professional team in England) happens to a regular guy just by luck, but its a movie.  Its exciting and BECKHAM (and other great professional players) is in it!! :D  This is the first of 3 movies. If you like soccer, you'll enjoy it.

Go for a walk and just have time on your own.  Talk to yourself about what got you so pissed off, what you should have said, what you are going to say, but without screaming or yelling so they could know that you really mean it and that you are not just talking because you are mad.....  I think that is the best as it will prevent you from getting physical with the person who caused you to get the way that you are and you will avoid saying something that you will or may regret....


I have thought about Kennedy Western University online but will employers really give any consideration for it.

Good grief, Kennedy Western is not only not accredited, but they've also been taken to court for fraud. No respectable employer would take anything from them seriously.\n\nRUN!


Just curious how/if they work and if they are safe. Thank you.

My son had/has ADHD...he is now 19. I would give him a cup of strong coffee or 1/2 an espresso, which counteracts the hyperactivity. He told me that the 'rushing' feeling inside of him was gone, so he didn't feel so restless and could focus on tasks.\n\nAlso, having a list of activities/tasks/responsiblities for the child can help structure their day. As soon as I used to see that idle glare in his eye I would suggest something from the list. As he got older he would look at the list himself instead of me having to suggest choices. \n\nAnother thing is since my son was very physical, when we were out in public if he was too restless I would make him do 5 back-flips, which would use-up that energy. You could use push-ups, jumping jacks, whatever the child can do or is age/situation appropriate.\n\nI always carried a Rubic's Cube or some type of puzzle game once my son was older too, when we were in situations where sitting/waiting were involved i.e. dr's office/dentist, etc.\n\nGood Luck!

We would like to donate our deceased bodies for a worthy cause upon our demise.  Genesis (in Tennessee) had a good plan.  Any similar?  Currently living in Mississippi.

I think the best thing to do depends on your age. If you are relatively young and healthy, organ donation is a wonderful way to give the gift of life to people who would otherwise have little chance for survival.\n\nIf you are not considered an appropriate organ donor (or simply don't wish to donate organs), you should contact local medical schools. They all have programs to donate your body, and your donation will help train the next generation of physicians.


Where would you rather get a PIE smashed into?\n\n-Face\n-Soles of barefeet\n\nWhy?

It depends on what kind of pie. If it is cream pie or similar, I would take it in the face. Just because it is not that difficult to clean off and not as much work as taking of my shoes or whatever. If it is a really yucky messy pie, then I would rather take it on the soles of my feet. Or if it was part of a game that my wife and I were playing :-), I would take wherever it needed to go.


so far 2-1 come on arsenal, u can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoooo\nonly 10 minutes left!!!!

arsenal clearly is the better team even down 2-1, lehmann would have easily saved that second goal maybe even the first one showing that bogus red card was huge not to mention being down to 10 men. if they dont end up winning real fast they have been robbed of the championship! 11 v 11 with lehmann i bet they would be winning 2-0! go arsenal!


If you believe that the Immaculate Conception was the Virgin Birth and I can prove that you are incorrect, would you agree to examine the rest of your beliefs?\n\nIt isn't right to walk around with major errors in your belief system, is it?\n\n\nI speak to many Christians, who have no idea of how wrong they are about the Immaculate Conception.\n\n\nThe Immaculate Conception is the theory taught by the \n\nCatholic Church.  They claim that when Mary was conceived, Mary was conceived without Sin, an Immaculate Conception.\n\n\nGoogle Immaculate Conception, and prove it to yourself.

I find it intriguing that when this question is raised, so many still believe that the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception refers to the birth of Jesus.  Every single reference work I have ever read, including all dictionaries, all encyclopedias and the Catholic Encyclopedia defines the Immaculate Conception as the doctrine which teaches that Mary herself was immaculately conceived in her mother's womb so that Mary herself was born free of the original stain of sin. Every single reference work I have ever seen defines it this way - as referring to the conception of Mary - not the conception of Jesus.  I do not understand why many still feel it refers to the birth of Jesus.  While it is true that Jesus was born without sin, this particular doctrine has nothing to do with him.


What say experts, I personally feel AOl spyware protection is far better than any spyware software available. Even better than SPYBOT and ADAWARE. Your views on this topic please.

Yes i totally agree. ASP (AOL SPYWARE PROTECTION) is far better than any spyware protection i have seen. Partnered with CA (COMPUTER ASSOSIATES) ASP is one man army when it comes to fighting against nasty spywares attacking the computers daily. I rate it 5 (highest) in performance. Way to go AOL.

If you want to learn how to do these, you need to understand WHY the answers are what they are.  A lot of the phrases are ones you just have to know which preposition goes with which verb.  Important ones to know would be the ones that are repeated (like saber+infinitive, poder+infinitive, tratar de...) and also brush up on your por/para rules.

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."\n-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003\n\n\n"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."\n-- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002\n\n\n"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."\n-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002\n\n\n"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do"\n-- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002\n\n\n"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."\n-- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002\n\n\n"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."\n-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002\n\n\n"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."\n-- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002\n\n\n"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."\n-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002\n\n\n"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."\n-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002\n\n\n"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."\n-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002\n\n\n"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them."\n-- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002\n\n\n"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."\nLetter to President Bush, Signed by:\n-- Sen. Bob

Try the word flip-flop. The bottom line is the US put Saddam in power. We made a mistake. Now we should clean up our mess.


I can actually see some bright sides...i mean not only will my spawn have super powers, but my crotch has a healthy green glow...any thoughts?

u need 2 be quiet; it u have nothing nice 2 say, then dont say anything at all.....


I want to know some good compliments and other sweet stuff to say to my man. We have been together for over a year and I love him now more than ever. He truely is my heart. I love it when he says nice things & compliments me on different things and I want him to feel just as special. What are some things men like to hear; things that may build a man up; let them know how special they are; how much they mean. Im 21, he's 25.\n\nI would apprieciate any comments. Thankyou.

youre amazing? nice eyes? Im proud of you?\n\n\nWhat do you like to hear... just say that kinda stuff to him.


son has saftey issues at school and will not go back to that school he wants to go to another school, the iep finds him eligible for special ed.

If he "just doesn't like the school," then no, he cannot use his special ed student status to pick whatever school in the district he wants.\n\nIf there is a serious safety issue, a new IEP meeting can be held. If the committee agrees, the student can be placed at a different building site to meet "Least Restrictive Environment"--which is the determination by the committee about where the child will learn best and safely with as much contact with the regular ed population as possible while still meeting the academic needs of the student. If the change of building site is agreed on by the committee (of which YOU are a key member...so make your voice heard!), the district is required to provide you with bussing as well.

Does Truth consist only in narrating the exact version of an incident? Does Speaking Truth consist of rattling out what the Holy Bible says? Does speaking Truth also include truthfulness in life?

yes we should try to be honest and truthful always keeping in mind that one lie paves the path for another lie.


Are diet drinks doing more harm than good, or are the real benefits to their consumption instead of a full sugar drink?

Better to avoid either.  High doses of refined sugar can lead to obesity and diabetes.  Artifical sweeteners lead to liver, kidney, stomach, circulatory system and mucous membrane problems. Pick your disease!\n\nI suggest you drink low doses of real sugar pop because won't harm your body as much.  Remember that coke has phosphoric acid, a powerful inorganic acid that if consumed in quantities can give you the ulcer of a lifetime, believe me, been there.


my bro used 2 b on wrestling team but he quit when he got beat by a girl now he wants me 2 wrestle should i do it? i'd b the only girl on the team

If you want to wrestle, then absolutely go for it.  If not, then don't.  Federal law strictly forbids your HS wrestling team from keeping you off the team just because you are a girl. \n\nBeing the only girl may or may not cause you a slight competitive disadvantage.  However, I will say that technique and speed can overcome size and strength.\n\nAs for having to wrestle guys, do not worry about them performing inappropriate acts when they wrestle you.  Most are not that stupid, and if it does happen, the referee will have absolutely none of it and issue a penalty, if not a disqualification. \n\nI happen to referee wrestling (and have refereed some guy vs. girl matches) , and I have a female friend who was in the same situation as you, so I know where you are coming from.

I can’t remember if the flight attendant was with United, Delta, or American but they fired her because she refused to remove her braids.  Does anyone know where I can get the details on this?  Its for my business class.

• Renee Rogers, an African-American employee at American Airlines, wore cornrows to work. American had a grooming policy that prevented employees from wearing an all-braided hairstyle. When American sought to enforce this policy against Rogers, she filed suit, alleging race discrimination. In 1981, a federal district court rejected her argument. It first observed that cornrows were not distinctively associated with African-Americans, noting that Rogers had only adopted the hairstyle after it "had been popularized by a white actress in the film '10.' " As if recognizing the unpersuasiveness of what we might call the Bo Derek defense, the court further alleged that because hairstyle, unlike skin color, was a mutable characteristic, discrimination on the basis of grooming was not discrimination on the basis of race. Renee Rogers lost her case.

i want to start a porn site targeting married white suburban males, how can i go about doing this?

The first thing you need to do is to check the legality of hosting a porn site in your state.\n\nNext, get your business license.\n\nYou will need a business plan. Check with the SBA (Small Business Association) web site for templates and examples. You can also search Yahoo! or Google.  This is very important. It will force you to look at all aspects of your business.\n\nYou will need a web designer.  Make sure you get a shopping cart on your site and that you can take multiple payment types, such as credit cards and Pay-Pal. \n\nNow the meat of your business (pun intended!) I'm hoping you know how to do this already; photography, models, locations,  etc.  Do you have the equipment? (No pun intended there!) If you need a photographer or travel agent, please contact me! \n\nAdvertising.  You have a specific market already which is excellent!  Do you know how to target them? \n\nGood luck with your venture!  I've thought of doing this or other sex related businesses, not so much because of the sex, but because the money is there!  I wish you the best, have fun!


Can u even send it 2 a Celluar South phone. If u can , how????

first thing you should do first is send a txt to your own email account. In the "to" feild on your phone, put in you're email address.\nWhen you get the txt in your email the from should be "*yournumber*@*something.com*". so now you know how to send the text from your email address

(1) i did not get the question. if 80 ml of a gas has a temp. of -90, then why did u once again ask the temp. of 80 ml of the gas?\n(2) apply PV=constant i.e. \n645(85)=760(V) which implies that V=645(85)/760. work this out\n(3)standard temp. corresponds to 0 C or 273 K\nstandard pressure corresponds to i atmosphere or 760 mm of mercury. there is no standard volume

and that "More dating would be inappropriate" she said this three months ago but lately she sits by me instead of her usual friends and is saying hi whenever she see's me, and is allways striking up conversations, and now my friends, and her's, say I should ask her out again because they think she wasn’t ready for a relationship and now shes ready, shes allways on my mind, shes never not in my thoughts and \n\nnow I'm really confused and need advice

if you really think that she's sending you signals and you really like her, then i guess theres no harm in asking her out. a safer way may be to have one of her friends explain whats going on, because she may just be acting that way to show that she really does want to continue being friends and that she likes you, even if it isnt on a boyfriend-girlfriend level. so try and find out what shes really thinking. good luck! =]


stop publicisizing your stuff. do more reserch before posting comments, especially on people with other beliefs. long may you rock.

Personally, I never post anything that I don't KNOW to be true.  Thanks for your concern though.


Notice, Bush believes you can take the war to others, and it is that simple, but when events like 9/11 happens it is like the end of Americans, cries, mourns, blames, angry mobs attacking innocent people. Why do we believe it is only us that can take war to others and they can't bring the war to us too?

Let's host the next war in our own country, we'll pick some place like say, Kansas, and hold the war there.  It'll be like one of those monster truck rallies or pro-wrestling events.

As the seals of the scroll are opened, each speaks in turn. They have heads, of a lion, an ox, a man, and an eagle. I can understand that a lion symbolizes royalty, an ox labor, and an eagle has a lofty viewpoint. But I can't understand what a beast with a man's head symbolizes. Could it be the 'son of man'?

You can take or leave this answer as you see fit, but it is well researched and worthy of consideration.\n\nThe creature with four faces represents a year.  The faces represent the four seasons.  2000 years ago, the constellation we call scorpio was actually known as the eagle.\n\nThe four faces represent:\nlion = leo; summer \nox = taurus; spring\nman = capricorn; winter\neagle (today known as the scorpion) = scorpio; fall\n\nJesus' ministry lasted a year.  The 4 faced creature is Jesus.


Take a rope ( that doesn't elongate/stretch easily), wind round both pulleys (just the way belt goes)and mark one end where it touches the other. Measure this and the size in inches is the size of the belt. As to whether 'A' or 'B' or 'C', it is based on cross-section. The smallest is 'A'. I hope I am understood.

KIDS ARE SEEMING TO BE MORE INTIMATE, PHYSICALLY AND SEXUALLY NOW A DAYS, BUT IS IT REALLY FOR LOVE, OR FOR WHEN YOU GET TO MAKE IT (LOVE THAT IS)?FOR AT A JR. HIGH IN CALIFORNIA CALLED townsend J.H, KIDS ARE MAKING OUT AFTER SCHOOL MORE THAN KIDS AT A HIGH SCHOOL.FOR THIS I AM STILL WONDERING WHY THERE IS SUCH A RACE FOR KIDS TO BE TOGHTER. YES I DO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP,OTHER THAN HOLDING HANDS KISS ON THE CHEEK, AND A HUG EVERY TIME WE MEET OR WHATEVER, BUT NO SEX! I KNOW SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCING "PUBERTY " VIDEOS AT SCHOOLS (ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE STARTING  TO SHOW 6TH GRADERS THESE VIDEOS)AND AS A RESULT, KIDS WANT TO HAVE SEX, MORE AND QUCKER THAN ANY ONE ELSE. THE TIME WILL COME WHEN SEX WILL HAPPEN BUT WE SHOULDN'T BE TEACHING CHILDREN YOUNGER,AND YOUNGER,& YOUNGER ABOUT IT.SO, IN CONCLUSION I FEEL THAT TEENAGERS,AND KIDS AS WELL ARE BEING INTRODUCED TO SEX TOO QUICKLY,AND THAT ITS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD ONLY BE TAUGHT AT HIGH SCHOOL

I have been trying to find this song! I do not know the singer or title of the song. It's an older song (maybe late 80's-early 90's). It goes: "One last kiss is never enough ... it only takes a moment ... somthing somthing something ... when you're giving me ... oooooh ... one last kiss ... something something something ... is only the beginning". LOL. I think it is a woman who sings it. Can someone please help me?

Go for it. Declare war on the U.S., they take you prisoner, and you'll get better (and FREE!) health care and more rights than you ever will as a natural born citizen.


Please no attempts at being funny by using like in your answer. Thanks.

The evolution of "like" from a simple preposition into an emphatic particle in Modern English is just part of the natural evolution of language.  Every language changes with each new generation of speakers.  Old structures fall by the wayside and new structures take their place.  It's been going on for 100,000 years at least.  It's just part of the process.  "Like" has evolved into three distinct things:  First, the verb "like" as in "I like steak".  Second, the preposition as in "The second day was like the first day".  And the newest manifestation, the emphatic particle as in "I thought, like, he is so cute".  Where the evolution goes from here is anyone's guess.  Emphatic particles often evolve into either nominative or accusative case endings, but the position of "like" will have to become fixed first.


Isn't it the fault of the companies that hire them and exploit them for cheap wages? People are so quick to attack the "mexicans", while they're only trying to find a better life for themselves and their families... is that so wrong? \n\nWhy can't the companies be blamed for hiring them? Why can't action be directed toward these companies? Is it about racism, because that's what it looks like....

They are not being blamed for driving down the economy.\nPeople are torqued about immigrants coming into country illegally.\n\nPreganant women time their entry into country.\nThey cross the border and wait in hospital parking lot until they are well into labor. Then they go into the hospital.\nIf a child is born in America. The child is officially American. Irregardless of whether the Mom crossed border illegaly eight hours earlier. That has to change.\n\nPeople are upset with the concept of Mexico  dictating domestic policy to us.\n\nMexico is corrupt.\nThey use America as pressure release.\n\nThey like the money that is sent from relatives working in America illegally.\n\na lot Americans resent display of foreign flags en masse on U.S. soil. \na lot Americans resent the display of American flags in upside down position.\nWhen an employer uses illegal workers the employer that is in compliance with the law suffers financial loss.\n\na lot Americans resent the attitude of the immigration reform groups. They are saying ...basically..."screw American immigration laws."\n\nHow does "screw Ausralian immigration law" sound\nOr Japanese immigration law.\nor Norwegian immigration law.\n\nwe are here and we are going to do what we like.\nwe will avail ourselves of all the social services we possibly can.\n\nWe will strain the school systems to the limit and DEMAND bilingual education. \nDEMAND DEMAND DEMAND!!!!\n\nWe will form all the dangerous gangs we like and we will deal drugs whenever we like.\nCrime and drugs rampant in Georgia.\n\nThey are saying.....\nYou can't fingerprint us, you can't check to see if we have criminal records.\nWe don't have to have social security cards and we don't need identification. \nand we can work off books and not pay social security taxes and Federal income tax.\n\nI am American.\nWhat country are you from?\nWould your country tolerate this attitude?\n\nIf these people are so keen on social justice.\nIf they are such ardent social activists.\nIf they are so concerned about the welfare of their own people.\nThen why are they not marching in Mexico City to change their own corrupt government?\nwhy ?...cause they'll be shot!\nI haven't  heard of large protests in Mexico.\nThey cross the border illegaly...then they protest.\nwhat that all about?  \nThey come across border illegally and then make demands on us..\n\nWhat country are you in?\nWhat would the authorities in YOUR country do if people entered YOUR country illegally and than said to hell with YOUR laws?\n\nRacism???BILGEWATER!!!\nMexican, Honduran etc...these are nationalities ...not races..\nRacism is an emotionally charged buzzword...that is all..\n\nRacism?\nIf I went into Holland illegally. \nThe authorities would handcuff me , take me to airport and send me back to America....and I am white guy...so ditch the racism argument.\nno temporary visas...no slack.\n\nHow would your country react to all this?\nWhy does the world hold America to higher standard and demand that everybody that wants to enter America is ENTITLED to enter America. And once in the country are subject to different standard than people from further away countries who  submitted their immigration requests through proper channel.\n\nAnd by the way...If America is so unjust and America is a racist state and Americans are intolerant to the point of xenophobia.\nthen\nWHY IN THE HELL DO all these people want to come here.\n\nIf everybody that wanted to live in America was able to just come on over.\nThe popululation of America would exceed that of CHINA.\n\nWhy is this unjust racist predatory capitalist war mongering country so desirable?\n\nthink about that.

I saw a report on the discovery channel (last part of it like 5 minutes) and they were trying to prove that it's impossible to sneeze without closing your eyes...which is not true I've done it before. Have any of you sneezed without closing your eyes?

i do it all the time!  \n\nthe people who think it's impossible are uniformed. \n\nclosing your eyes is the natural involuntary response, but when i was young i realised that i could voluntarily keep my eyes open. \n\nIt is possible, and i have had no ill effects from doing it.  I think it is a fun way to impress my friends.  They all think I'm weird, and i like it like that!

theres a girl i want to ask out to the dance, but she doesnt know i exsist. how would i be able to ask her out to the dance?

First off, dont do the cake thing, that is something off Napolean Dynomite, and if she doesnt know you exist, then how will she know it is from you, and same thing for getting someone to ask 4 u, that is junior high stuff. Now I am sure you are in high school, as am I, and the thing you should do is try to talk to her everyday until about a week before the dance. Dont just come and and say I want to take you to the dance, she will be like 'Who are you' so talk to her and tell her who you are. Then about a 5 or 6 days before the dance ask her, so she doesnt have time to get someone else.


Okay. I opened up a merchant account that I need for my new inhome business. I went to mastercard.com and signed up there cause I did not know what to do really. A man called me over the weekend from the company and told me that he was sending me an e-mail and he wanted me to fill out the app with him on the phone so I said ok. He was telling me what to click on and I did everything he told me. Come to find out they have all kinds of hidden charges that I didn't know. I have another company right now that will set me up for free! How can I break my now 3 yr contract with this first one without goin broke? Is there anything I can do cause of the fact that he even told me over the phone that they wouldn't be charging me anything and told me that I could read it over after we got done and when I tried, I know longer has access to their website?

Have you signed the contract? If not, I think you can still pull out from the agreement? That's why I never talk about contracts on the phone; just email or mail it to me and I'll look at it.\n\nMerchant account is like a telephone bill - there's so many things on it there are lots of opportunities to tuck in one fee and another here and another there. The fees can bloat up real fast. My husband used to work for one, and to get clients, he asks for the merchant account statement and develop a proposal for the client based on the amount that he can stave off and save for the customer.\n\nIf you did sign a contract and sent it to them, I'm afraid you may need to pay the fine or cancellation fee, whatever they charge for early contract termination. But if you can get hold of a higher up and complain to them that you were misled, I think you may have some ground.\n\nGood luck

Even extra hours in bed doesnt help. I ride a bike for approx 50 kilometres daily too.

If you think that it is due to bike riding, then change the position of sitting and handle of your bike. Make is comfortable just like the position of sitting on a chair and resting. If handle is short change it to higher one and keep it closer to your hands in a comfortable position. Don't make it stylish position. Hope this will help you.


Stupid me, i took my nail polish off my toes and fingernails with nail polish remover, but i used a lot and some of it spilt. And of course i forgot to open the window when i was taking the nail polish off.. Now my chest is bothering me. What should i do?

Air out your room and get out of your room and into some fresh air for a while. If your breathing gets worse then go to your local ER.


ive been looking for a while online and ive had no luck, so if you could just give me the link or whatever that would be great! thanks!


Someone has recently said to me that we are all basically immigrants.  First, to be an immigrant implies that you immigrated from another country.  That may well have been true for most of our ancestors but we are Americans because we were born here or have acquired *legal* citizenship.  Second, I am very proud that we have a country that "they" would risk life and limb to enter.  That pride is based on the knowledge that we are a country with laws and a democrocy to uphold those laws and if "they" respected our country they would respect our laws and want to enter our country legally.  Third, you are right when you say they are here whether we like it or not.  Well I don't like it and that is what this debate is about, should or shouldn't we sent the illegals back where they came from and stiffen our immigration laws to discourage them from coming over illegally?  Yes, I think we should on both counts. What's your opinion?

I agree with both of your issues!  However, i do not agree with the statement that they "are here whether we like it or not."  I don't like it!  Most Americans don't like it!  If we protest enough, our elected Officials will eventually do something about it.\n\nWrite your Congressmen and Senators.  Write to the President.  Inundate them with mail that demands what is right for America.  Withhold your votes from anyone who does not make "Restoring America for Americans" the cornerstone of their political platform.  Withhold your votes from anyone who doesn't make ILLEGAL immigration a major plank of their platform.  Let your elected Officials know this.\n\nBe proactive ~ America is so close to apathy that it is mind-boggling.  It's time for another Revolution, people ~ one with no weapons other than words and quiet determination.\n\nStop thinking "Republican" or "Democrat" and start thinking "AMERICAN!"  Vote a straight ticket and you grow a row of idiots.  VOTE THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE FOR AMERICANS ~ born or LEGALLY naturalized.\n\nA standing ovation to Bullseye for his input above.  I've copied it and will now email it to everyone on my list.\n\nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\n\nBecause the pro-illegal alien lobby has a bottomless pit of money and can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) anything any way, there are an undue number of myths and lies that the public (and many politicians) has bought into. The FACTS are:\n \n1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.\n \n2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. It has the fifth richest economy in the world, and by sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?\n \n3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.\n \n4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.\n \n5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents). The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $55,000 each. Some bargain, eh?\n \n6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4


who makes the decisions in your relationship?? you or your gf/bf? or do u make them together?\n\nthe reason y i am asking this questions is because my bf is always letting me make the decisons in our relationship... even if i know i have mad the wrong one he will tell me that its ok we should do it or what ever... its like he doesn't care.

It's a 50/50 situation. Sometimes I make decisions, sometimes my boyfriend and soulmate Tony does. But we always help each other when we're in the process. We talk things over and come to a conclusion. Otherwise, we will always think about each other and the consequences and such before making a decision if the other isn't there to discuss the decision with. We love each other so we compromise or come to a conclusion.

They can treat the infection normally without pulling the tooth. See a dentist if you have pain.

In addition to that, the mom in charge of "buying gifts" for the girls collected over $200.00 per girl last year and produced a couple pairs of PJ pants, a shirt, and some dollar store items (Not $200.00 worth of gifts) this woman happens to be the coaches sister - so no one questions where the money is going.  The coach knows that (I) have some suspicions and she doesn't like me or my daughter.   The girls recently had try outs for next year. The coach and her sister were very mean to my daughter - I think they want her to give up. What should I do?

If this squad is part of a public school's extracurricular program, they have to keep a relatively public account of their finances.  Ask the principal of the school to check the balance sheets, providing the info you cited above.  As for negative reactions to your inquiries, that's all too common.  Accept that your daughter will not make the squad.  On the other hand, if there are shady dealings going on, there may be a new coaching staff on hand for next season....


What is the purpose of the survey?\nA)get everybody involve\nb)get rid of the students\nC)Appreciate their cultures\nD)any other answer...

D.) Teachers can use surveys as useful tools. If many people in the class enjoy  Activity X (whatever most like to do) the teacher can find ways to teach his subject matter through that activity or through discussion of that activity. For example, an English language teacher learns that his students really like popular music. He can then use examples from song lyrics to teach the students various parts of speech and their usage.

If we was to all go naked in our birthday suit, would there still be pervert out there wanting to look at pictures and stuff? I think they would get sick of looking at the body and see it not all about starved models and get over it.

yeah. child molesters can have sex with girls their age but they choose to go for minors.


Seattle, Portland, New Orleans or the Jazz?\n\nWhere will they go?\n\nI think New Orleans is definitely all but going to Oklahoma City, and I hear another team is going to St. Louis. I don't think the Seattle/Portland market will be abandoned though...I can't see that.

While Oklahoma City was a great success, New Orleans should get the team back and rally around there sports franchises.  Especially with the Reggie Bush mania going on.  The Portland Trailblazer are having some major issues that need to be sorted out or there a real possibility.  St. Louis is a great sports city and I beleive they would be a great NBA city as well.  Honestly though, since I live in Sacramento, if the city and the Kings owners (Joe and Gavin Maloof) don't come to an agreement soon on a new arena deal, the Kings will be outta here sooner than later.  Anaheim is dying to take the Kings or any franchise.  And what about Vegas?  The Maloofs would have a hard sell on convincing the league to go to Sin City but the Maloofs are based in Vegas.  Those three franchises seem to be the one who would be moved if such a thing did occur in the relatively near future.

Requesting to pray and if any one has dealt such situation, pls reply with the solution, may be I would apply and may god give us peace & harmony in such situations.

This is an example of an emotionally abusive relationship.  I believe that there are some conditions that make a relationship absolutely flawed and abuse is an example of this.\nWill the person seek counseling in order to change this behavior?  If the person doesn't see the need to do so, I'd suggest getting out of the relationship altogether.  Living in a situation like this will warp you.\nGood luck to you.  I will pray for you.


I have a good pushcart idea for Manhatten where do I find out about permits,rules and regulations for this?

The information you need is on the NYC official website, link provided below.


I would argue that the Cold War affected Latin America in about the same way it affected the entire 3rd world. Many lower class individuals were easy targets for communist propaganda and likewise any poltical manuevering they attempted was seen by Washington DC as communist revolution. Therefore America would naturally side or back whatever regime wished to supress any popular or socialist/communist power being sought. Any peasant or lower-class miltant movement undermining western/capitolist philosphy was dealt with under very cruel circumstances. There was for instance, and you may look this up on the internet, something called the Guatemallan college of the Americas (http://www.derechos.org/soa/guat-not.html), in which American inteligence officials were brought in to teach proper torture and assination techniques to our "allies" in Latin America in dealing with communist revolts and militant movements. If you consider Cuba part of Latin America then that opens up an entirely new can of worms following the Jan 31st 1959 takeover by Fidel Castro which eventually led to a Socialist government (technically not communist one because the revolution was not declared a communist one until afterwards). As soon as Castro sided with the Soviet Union, America naturally hated him and began a propaganda/embargo against him which has lasted well into the Bush regime. One must remember that the 3rd world (including Latin America), was the battleground for the Cold War. We may not have shot directly at Moscow, but we would shoot at their allies whenever we could. Likewise, we would support anyone they hated. The saying goes, "any enemy of my enemy is my friend", which was why we supported and trained such names as Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden when they were fighting against the Soviets or their "allies". Now the the Soviet Union is gone, many old "friends" have became hated enemies, with few really knowing what has happened.\nAnyway, I hope this helps you out somehow. I am a history teacher so I know a thing or two. Good luck, and hope I gave you enough info.


I want to lose about 10 or 15 pounds, what is the best way? Thanks for your help.

Just use your head.  \n\nYou know the only way to lose fat is to burn more calories than you eat.  \n\nYou know each pound of fat = 3500 calories.  It is simple arithmetic.  \n\nThe best thing you can do is work out.  Start out slowly so that you build up your strength and endurance gradually and don't hurt yourself.  Then, as you get stronger and longer-lasting, you can really put your body to the test.  And at that point you will have to ask yourself if you really do want to lose weight after all - because extra weight to the athlete = stored energy.

I"m a chinese college student .I study English whey I studied in the middle school , but my English is very poor and so do many college students as I.We all want to improve our english.Now we can practise written-English in our school through exam and can train hearing though VOA,but how can we improve our speak-english?\nThere is no foreigner around us and we have much difficulty to practise it.

Maybe the best way is to study abroad. Filipinos speak good English and you can actually find a lot of English classes that cater to foreigners. I myself have met a lot of Koreans who are taking English classes in my school. I think they choose to come here to learn English because it is cheaper than going to the U.S.. Surf the net for English classes for foreigners in the Philippines. Try to go to the University of the Philippines (U.P.) website and contact them through email or phone, you choose. There are other schools offering English classes for foreigners, however. U.P. is just one of them. Good luck! :)

I'm moving from Chicago to study in France in a few months. Is there anything I should know about the culture before I go... things I should or shouldn't do... any faux pas... things that I wouldn't find in French culture books at the library??? And I hate to ask an ignorant question, but is it true that French people have a general dislike of Americans?

The French don't like foreigners much but if you speak their language quite well then they like you a lot more.  One thing to know is that every one in Paris goes on holiday in August so the roads are horrendous the first couple of days and the last couple of days so don't plan any long drives then.

I am the mother of 3 kids going to college getting advance degrees trying to "make up" for messing up early in life. I just want to be married & buy a nice home 2-300,000 dollar home one day before my kids grow uo so they can have education and opportunites that I didn't have. I believe its possible with hardwork. Problem is I have been w/ my b/f 6 yrs he is comfortable being underemployed,and views what I want as materialistic. I know being with him, I'll never see the am dream, this leaves me to constantly seek and fantasize about hardworking,ambitious men. I lv my b/f but money is going to be the point for me. I don't want to look like a gold digger, but I am only doing what's best for my kids. I cannot help talking to other men behind his back to keep my options open. I don't want to break up my family, but I want a comfortable life, being w/ him i'll never have it. Am I wrong to fantacize, and explore options? When he can't, and won't try to help me obtain it?

Run for the hills, your kids and you deserve betterr than what your man has to offer...lets say one day you make tons of money, do you want your man to leach off you the rest of your life. Your kids deserve the best in this world...life is precious, i commend you for trying so hard to live the American Dream...Ditch the zero and get with a hero!!!\n\nGood Luck, Jo Jo


When you read answers and questions on here..do more seen left or right in your opinion (answer if you have read politics file a while)

based on my own sampling I have noticed that people giving articulate, intelligent answers to questions asked gravitate towards the left in their views and the ones leaving simple sloganistic responses that in no way come close to answering questions seem to have a \n"rightie" bias.  \n\nAn unscientific sampling to be sure.


What is my turn off drug? So many years wasted. So many tears shed. So many times self medicating and crying ones self to sleep. Why in the world would we, the depressed and cold, disgusted and sour, wish to continue on, when biology will not allow us to exist as normal members of society? A society built on the ideas of the multitude, not the minority? How many years must we suffer and die before science can prove we are who we are because of "what" we are?

its rare that people who write dark poems and stuff kill themselves because they usually see that the world wouldnt be phased either way. one life is meaningless if they die or not, sure it may have meaning to the people they are close to, but in the end, life is nothing. sad but true.


I'm studying to get my associates to be one and if you are one, i was wondering if its a good job? Do u get paid well? Is it stressful? Does it keep your interest from day to day? Is it a job that keeps you financially stable? Any comments will be greatly appreciated =)

Married to an attorney - and was one of his assistants for a while.  It's VERY stressful working for a successful defense attorney (especially one that handles everything from deeds to murders)  My husband has 5 assistants and they are always working their butts off. They have to stay late most of the evenings.  They make pretty decent money, actually, they are the highest paid in the town.  He starts them out at about $11 an hour - the woman that has been with him for about 20 yrs makes about $19.  So, it really depends on who you work for and what your duties are.  I really didn't like the work myself, so I quit.  The girls complain that they work their butts off, but they love the money. (and know that they will not find that at the other attorney offices)  The work is usually pretty mundane - TONS of paper and computer work.  Lots of typing - lots of phone calls, many from strange, unhappy people.  I wasn't fond of the job, but you may be... it takes a certain person to like that kind of work.  And, legal assistants are very important to the attorney.  Hubby could not live without them.


I would like to password protect my personal folder in windows as I will be out of the office.  Is it possible that i can password protect my folder or do i have to password protect each file??

you can not give a password for a folder in windows.\nthe solution is here:compress the folder with winzip,check mark encrypt addet files.\nthen select a password for it.\nwhen inished, delete the original folder.\nyou can open the zip file when you have the password\nthe second solution is:the free program "encryptonclick". \nIt's easy to use.\nhttp://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/freeware-hub.html


something that is both important to u.Just remember this will be on your body for the rest of your life.


The followin alphameci equation is special because the equation is true in Roman numerals 44*10.  Your challenge is to make the equation true with regular numbers as well.  There are two solutions.\n\nXLIV * X + CDXL.   If you can help great, if not no biggy.  It's just a brain teaser--but it would be fun to understand the answer. (PS the instructor wants us to collaberate.)

I'm not 100% sure what it's asking, but I'm thinking that it's this:\n\nThe simple way of looking at it...\n\nIf you look at it like a basic multiplication with Roman Numerals representing the actual numbers.\n\n((10)(50)(1)(5))*(10) = (100)(500)(10)(50)\n\nYou either distribute the last X (or 10) in left side of the equation to the other numbers on the left side or divide both sides by X (or 10) to come up with\n\n(100)(50)(10)(50) = (100)(500)(10)(50)\n2,500,000 = 2,500,000\nor\n(10)(5)(1)(5) = (10)(5)(1)(5)\n250 = 250\noh, and after re-reading the question, im more positive about the answer because of the 'There are two solutions'


i have been with this guy for a while now and we dated a long time a go when we were in high school, we have a child together now and we use to live together.  He is an acoholic and he is in jail right now, he has been writting to me asking me to move back in, in away i want to, but then again i dont. he was kind of mean to me when I was pregnant, he made me move out,and claimed the baby wasnt his, which is why i dont want to move in again, but i love him so much I always have. Should I go back to him and live alone or risk it again and move in with him, the fear of him being an a**hole again is always there but i dont know what to do. I know i need to think about our child and how it will affect him in the long run. Any advice is accepted. Please help!!!!!!!!!

he's in jail now what can he do for you while he's in there. you need to think whats best for you & ecspecially this child. i know a couple guys that did the same thing to their girl so they had support while they were in jail than once they were out it was like screw you. You deserve better good luck!!


I would only like experienced gymnasts to answer this question for various reasons.

There's really no preventing blisters from swinging bars.  If you have light bar workouts, it's easier to avoid blisters but If you're on bars as much as most competing gymnasts are, you're destined to rip.  \n\nChalk isn't used to prevent blisters.  It's used to keep your hands from getting sweaty and slippery but unfortunately it also dries your hands out and makes them blister and rip.    \n\nGrips are to help you hold onto the bar.  On the one hand, wearing grips will make it less likely that you'll get rips on your hands, what tends to happen is you get rips on your wrists instead.  On another note, watering your grips like you see the athletes on TV doing shortens the life of your grips.


my music teacher is so cool she favores me and i like her as a freind how do i say good bye with out makeing it seem weird for her.

Write her a letter or buy a card if you find a suitable one. Tell her how you're going to miss her, you think she's cool, you want to stay friends, etc etc and leave your e-mail or something so she can contact you.


I am 36 and have no children. I have thought long and hard and am 100% sure I do not want children now. I have felt this way now for almost 10 years and would like to have this procedure done. Can anyone who has had this procedure let me know what is involved? Thanks a bunch to all who reply.

It's easy & ralatively painless. I had mine less than 24 hours after having my 2nd child. Just make sure that when they cut the tube, they take part of it out. That way there is no way it can grow back together, which I've heard has actually happened a few times. Good luck!

Since Jesus is only a prophet(according to Islamic belief) is anything recorded about the miracles he performed?\nIf so, has any other prophet before him performed any miracles that were recorded?????

birth and speech as a newborn:\n\n'Behold!' the Angel said, 'God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.'\n\nShe said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: 'Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, "Be!" and it is.' (Quran, 3:42-7)\n\n\nmiracles during lifetime of Jesus (pbuh):\n\n"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers and I raise the dead by God's leave." (Qur'an, 3:49)\n\nsome other miracles also mentioned (feeding the many etc.), you'll have to find yourself! most, if not all, Prophets were granted miracles of varying numbers and degrees. since there are many Prophets mentioned it'll take quite a bit of time to answer that part.


I'm guessing nurture plays a part, e.g. you acquire tastes if you eat lots of a food from a young age, as well as psychological factors.  But seeing as we all have the same taste pallette and body, why might I love the taste of something that someone else hates?

I have a theory of my own I have absolutely no way of backing of course.  \n\nCertain people can taste certain chemicals depending on their genetic build.  My theory is that some people can detect certain chemicals within certain foods and others can't due to their genetic makeup, which makes their tastebuds capable of detecting certain chemicals and not detect others, and thus make them like or dislike a particular food.  \n\nIf you can't taste the "yucky" you can't say it's terrible right?  \nThen again, some other person might be able to taste it and not like it...
