My best friend and I own our own homes. Well she owns her parents home and I am buying a home. She lives with me and we are both in debt. My house is worth $70,000 and hers maybe $62,000. Trent, the man I make payments to, wants her house and will cancel debt on my house. Even trade I owe $36,000, and have 5 days to decide. She is ok with this as long as when I die she gets the house and vise versa, and she gets $3 to $4 thousand left over.\n\n What should we do? We could lose both houses if I do not pay Trent the $350.00 at the end of month. Her house is sitting vacant and is starting to fall apart in some places but has about 2 acres of land. She has no money to fix anything. It is the home she grew up in, her parents passed away and left it to her. But there were bills to pay so she is $36,000 in debt. She is in debt about as much as me but her payments are less than $200.00 mine is $350.00.  I put $20,000 in mine already. And I will still owe that no matter what happens. We both are in financial trouble. I have a business here at my home detailing cars and she has been out of work for 2 months now, long story. No time to sell. Trent wants to foreclose if I can't pay him by the end of the month. If you need more information, email me.

If this Trent is owed only $350 then why should you give him a house worth $60k? He is the leech and a low-life scum bag.\n\nLook for an investor who is willing to help you. There are people out there who will pay your bills and give you some $$ to tide you over. You put the investors name on the Deed and then you can sell the house, pay the investor off and maybe pay-off the other house. Don't let this Trent bully you and don't give him the satisfaction of making $1000's when he is owed only $100's.\n\nIf you have a low credit score go here to get some help www.restoreyourcreditreport.com


I got this pain in my neck.  Every time i swallow it hurts.  Im sure its only soar, but i have a long history of cancer in my family, and i was wondering how would i know if i have one.

Probably not a tumor but get it checked. Have you been checked for mono or strep throat? They both hurt when you swallow.


The Nile right?  And isnt it the only river that flows south to North?

Correct\n\nwhy does the nile river flow south to north, the answer is very simple. The river just flows down hill, from the high mountains in the middle of africa to the Nile delta (point where Nile enters the Mediterranean Sea).


When I started being a baseball fan 15 years ago, I used to hear that Yankee fans were the most intimidating fans in baseball (to players and fans of opposite team) I think Red Sox fans have not only caught up, but have surpassed the Yankee fans. Last night says it all. What do you guys think?

As somebody from the Midwest, I find both Yankees and Red Sox fans extremely annoying.


why not President BUSH accept the failure in his \n3 years homework in iraq,and turn attention in blessing democracy to africa \nespecially to regimes in zimbabwe,uganda,ethiopia ?

Because, Americans know Africans will not play hit and run like they see in Iraq and other places. Africans will approach you and kill you, even if you are more armed and all they got is stone. ZULU style, or Mogadishu mob style. In an another words NO FEAR. That is why African citizens take their matters into their own hands against their oppresive regimes and rather have no law and government than a dictator.

How do you Play movie files like mpegs or whatever kind of file that you downloaded on to your PSP, I downloaded a movie file onto my PSP and I saved it to my memory stick but I can't find out how to play it

im 13 and i dont know how to make a bed. sad isnt it?

The sheet that has elastic on the corners goes down first.  Stretch the elastic over each of the corners of your bed and smooth the sheet.  You may have to pull at each end to get it perfetly smooth.  The flat sheet comes next - tuck it in where it hangs over too much.  Lastly, lay your comforter or bedcover on and fold it over about a foot at the top.  Place the pillows where your head goes.  Viola!  You're done.


Have Windows XP home edition O/S on Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop. computer has two ports - com 1 and com 3.Printer is trying to use a non-existing port named Lpt-1.Can't get it to connect with Com 1 or Com 3. What can I do to solve my problem?

It's looking for a Parallel port (also known as LPT-1) This printer can connect through a 36-pin Centronics cable (parallel printer cable) or an A to B (standard) USB cable. Be sure you have the correct type of cable for the printer and that the printer driver is installed and selected as the default active printer..\n\nDell has recently remove the old LPT-1 ports from a lot of their PCs in favor of USB, and if you have a USB cable and the driver disk, set up should be relatively easy, be sure to use the printer's driver install disk...don't confuse COM-1 or COM-2...those are a different typr of communications port, rarely used for printers anymore since USB became popular.


Is there any way I can get YouTube videos on my iPod? I know some people that have iPods can put almost anythng they want to on their, as long as it's an Video iPod.

Youtube videos are transmitted as .FLV files (Flash Video) -- It is possible to save these videos to your hard using sites like keepvid.com. Video iPods will NOT play FLV files, however, they'll only play MP4s.\n\nNot even Creative Zen Vision Ms (which will play almost anything) can play FLVs yet.\n\nThere may be a utility out there to convert FLVs to MP4s, but I haven't seen one.


I joined this company (sales and marketing department in a electronics factory) as Sales and Marketing department manager.  Since this is my first job to be a department manager and I didn't study business management (I was major in liberal arts), I worked very hard.  However, I don't know how I can make my staff respect me from their hearts and work their best in their job so that the whole department can show obvious improvement.  Today, 2 staff had big argument in front of me and I yelled at both of them to stop arguing in public and if they want to argue, please go to a conference room.  I think I made a bad judgement by yelling at them like that.  Also, Do you think they do not respect me?  Please help!

Some things I can think of off the top of my head:\n\n- Don't be afraid to roll your sleeves up and lend a hand when things get busy.\n\n- Make it clear to them your not going to let them walk all over you, but try to avoid yelling.... perhaps try diffuse it with a little humour (e.g. "put the handbags away gentlemen").\n\n- Listen to what ALL the staff have to say, not just a core group of ones a promotion or two below you... sometimes it's the only way you'll find out about problems with the department (or problems that are brewing up).\n\n- Don't change things for the sake of change.... if the department's way of doing something is working perfectly fine, don't try to change it without thinking it through properly. A common problem with alot of organsiations these days is they try changing things around (such as the way products are distributed, for instance) only to turn things into a complete shambles instead of improving things.\n\n- Don't be afraid to bend the rules slightly occasionally: If someone turns up late, but works hard enough to more than make up for it when they do show up.... let them off, but give them a mild warning about not making a regular habit of it. If they turn up late, but sit around scratching their butt all day then come down on them like a ton of bricks (since that sort of thing usually gets the other staff grumbling a bit, particularly if you let them walk all over you).\nAnd if things are quiet, let them shoot off home a few minutes early.\n\nIf anyone is leaving / announced their having a baby / just had a baby / lost a relative / having a birthday / retiring, etc try to be the first in there with arranging a card for everyone to sign / money collection for a gift (if appropriate) / after work party (if appropriate), etc.\n\nGive credit where credit is due.... if one of your staff comes up with a brilliant idea, don't try to take all the glory with the big bosses.


I think he did since he allowed to be on stage with an obvious Gay guy. He could of had a fan that was a girl but a guy?

Ok, no he did not come outta the closet he just looks more grown-up unlike the spiky-haired look he used to have. I seriously wish that everyone would STOP with all the "Is Clay gay?" I mean really it's so getting old for all of his "TRUE" fans(like me) geez.


Im not saying all Amrericans hate Europeans or anything like that.\nIm not saying that most Americans hate Europeans either.\nBut why do some Americans hate them?\nIm american but I dont hate Europe.\nWhy dont they know how great it it there?\nWhy are they so racist and prejudist?

Because many people are ignorant about other cultures and many people believe that if it isn't in their own base of experience, then it's abnormal or 'wrong.'

DVD rental business spend Thousands of $$$$ a year replacing DVD's damaged by people Pirating them, it is wrong on so many levels, when we are trying to instill Honesty in our children. The price of going to the Pictures also goes up as Production companies try to recoup some of the money lost by DVD Piracy. So to REPORT or not to REPORT that is the Quandary....

Dear Witch (who'd EVER say such a thing), you are 100% correct on the issue of immorality of copying THE DVDs. \n\n(For the benefit of mavsman from Korea and all like-minded): \nTHE TRUTH IS IT'S ILLEGAL TO COPY ANY PROPRIETARY WORK, EVEN FOR YOURSELF, AND CERTAINLY FOR FRIENDS (and who cares that you provide them free -- they're not yours to copy, let alone charge for.)\nI'm not impressed that you are a movie critic and film buff -- IF YOU WANT A FILM, DON'T STEAL IT, PAY FOR IT!!\n NOR IS IT YOUR CONCERN WHETHER THEY MAKE TONS OF MONEY ON A SMALL INVESTMENT -- IT'S THEIR PROPERTY, PERIOD,

I'm lookin' to get learned up on subatomic particles. Suggestions for books, articles and websites are all welcome. Thanks.

Depends how much detail you are looking for. If it's not for an exam but just for personal knowledge I highly recommend http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/index.html which will give you a nice foundation for it. I have an exam on Nuclear and Particle physics on Monday...but I'm just learning it from all my lecture notes and notes the professor gave us.


I am sending out invitations for my wedding in June. DO I call the people who don't respond?

You bet you do. You call with the polite assumption that they did not receive your invitation. After all, that's the only possible explanation for not honoring your request to RSVP, right? Your friends wouldn't be rude to you, would they? But seriously ... \n\nDo call. In fact, call even those who DID honor your RSVP to "confirm" your guest list. This is your golden opportunity to prevent problems on your big day. What kind of problems? Uninvited people showing up, such as guests bringing guests of their own or small children. (If you use vague terms like "and family" or "and guest" on your invitiations, you have only yourself to blame for this.)\n\nBy The Big Day, you should have only two lists: those who WILL be attending and those who WILL NOT. There is no "maybe" list for such an important event. Make this clear during your RSVP calls and do not be bullied into accomodating unexpected arrivals.


Just hear me out and, by the way, I'm not homophobic nor anti-gay. I just have this contradicting situation that I can't figure out...\n\nI think someone posed this question before and it made a lot of sense.  It also pissed alot of people off.\n\nOf course, this is merely hypothethical as we know this would never occur.  This does not mean, however, that the question should not be asked.  It is a medium for intellectual debate and provokes deeper thought:\n\nIf homosexuality should be considered OK and if in the next ten years, 90% of the world's population choose to be gay, what would become of the human race in terms of new generations and reproduction?\n\nAnother question - Is is safe to assume that God, should he exist (for the nonbelievers), would condemn homosexuality based on the assumption that it threatens the continuation of the human race, God's most precious creation?\n\nAgain, I'm not coming down on the gays, I'm just posing real questions that make you go hmmm?

You will probably get a lot of comments about how homosexuality is not a choice.  However, the question is not at all hypothetical.  The ancient Greeks faced this problem.\n\nIn the ancient Greek system boys were taken from their families at the age of seven and put in a boarding school.  Homosexual love was a recognized custom.  Each boy had an adult male lover who wooed the boy with gifts, poetry, protection, and training.  They played together naked.  Because it was considered the accepted thing to do, virtually all the men practiced homosexual behavior, and thought it normal and expected.  They choose to be gay, if you will, but it was more peer pressure than free choice.\n\nSo, what happened to reproduction?  That was indeed a problem.  Men did not want to take upon themselves the responsibility of having a wife.  They did not want to do their duty to their nation state by getting her pregnant.  So the government was forced to give special tax breaks and status to those who had children.  A man was not thought ill of if he allowed another man to give him children through his wife.  It was still hard to keep up the birth rate, and this may have had a lot to do with the eventual collapse of the Greek culture.\n\nThere are many more corrupting influences of homosexual behavior than merely the threat to the continuation of the human race.


im just wondering if anyone out there also believe in  "controlled" abuse in order to make recruits marines or is it unnescessary or even damaging?

It's definitely gotten softer and every cycle seems to be worse than the last.  However, abuse isn't the word that should be used, not should it be just in boot camp.  I am not condoning beatings and serious hazing, but "creative leadership" could have a bit more lea way through out the Corps.


I am an 18 year old 5 foot ten inch tall male that weighs 180 pounds. I need to know how I can lose the small gut I have before it gets any bigger. I really don't eat a whole lot and try to keep my calories down, but I don't cut out the things that are bad for me altogether. In other words, I don't really diet, but I'm not a health nut either. A typical day for me consists of two Lean pockets for breakfast, maybe some chicken and rice for lunch, and maybe some more of the same for dinner. Nothing too bad, right? I drink nothing but water. I usually throw in a few snacks throughout the day as well. My snacks are usually fruit, smoothies, chips, candy bars, nuts, or anything else that gives me a quick fix to hunger. I usually try to limit my calories by avoiding the chips and candy, but even with some of that bad stuff, my diet still ends up with a normal amount of calories(around 2000 a day). I usually lift weights three times a week for exercise, but do very little cardio. Suggestions?

YOUR MY TWIN! im 5 10 and i drink a ton of water, we also eat very similar. The only difference is im 17 and I USED to be 180! now im 159. I do 2 hours of eliptical a day (2 one hour sessions) and i eat about 4-5 meals. Make sure u keep eating breakfast, but maybe some cereal? your lunch looks good, but make sure around 3ish maybe 4 u eat a snack, cereal, apple, banana, anything besides the candy or chips. you have to stay away from those. its tough i know, so i usually cheat on sudays, like just have a candy bar, or sum ice cream. Remember to keep your portions small, and dont eat 3 hours before bed, so that your body goes to sleep in fat burning mode. I also do weight training 3 times a week, tuesday thursday and sunday, This will make u you look a ton better when all the weight is finally off, and it burns calories. i also do ab exercises every other day, crunches, superman stretches, leg lifts, and other ab exercises. you dont have to do like 200 just stay in good form and ad a 5-10 pound dumbell. In 3 months you will be 150 pounds, 6 pack abs, and muscular, but not overly muscular. the ladies will flock to you.  good luck


i been to the beach lately for three days, didn't use any sunblock, and now my skin is peeling and now i'm darker, what do i do

You are sunburnt. Next time use a sunblock. The peeling can be lessened by using an aloe vera based lotion  topically applied to the skin. If you don't like the after effects of not protecting your skin then use sunblock as I previously stated.


does waxing "down there" hurt? because i was thinking about it as an alternative of shaving....

well what has been said and done so far i can say that it hurts but if you wax your legs regularly you already know how bad or not so bad that hurts but i think i can tell you that it will hurt if its your first time all i can say if you get it done is take a couple deep breathes each time and be ready but calm and relaxed


The movie had nothing to do with muslims or about malcolm x. it was about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a little boy. There was a song in the movie, by Deniece Williams and I can't seem to find it. It was called Little Boy King Keep Your Dream or something similar. Please Help!

In school, I used a CAD program to draw and design a rocket made from a soda bottle. In making this, we had to be aware of two important concepts: center of pressure and center of gravity. The center of pressure is the point at which all pressures are centered. This is basically the line at which there is an equal surface area of rocket above and below it.\nThe center of gravity is the line at which there is an equal amount of mass above and below it. For a rocket to fly properly, the center of mass needs to be situated the average diameter of the rocket above the center of pressure.

I have a few ideas, but I don't know where to go from here. All of the web sites I looked into seemed to be scams. Does anyone know of a legit company that could help me patent and market my invention(s).

I don't know what to tell you other than what happened to me. I paid $500 for a patent search. The company told me that this was a great idea and nothing else like it was on the market. They could get me a patent and help me present it to people who could make it. I would make X-amount of dollars and would be rich (lol). The patent cost me another $5,000.\nThey did get me a patent. A Design Patent. This patent just covers what the product looks like, not how it works. If you design a telephone with the buttons in a certain place, this is a Design Patent. What makes it work (the guts to it) is a Utility Patent. Someone can come along and change the way that it looks, you're out of luck. \nCheck with BBB and past clients. \nI felt ripped off and that was 14 years ago, I still see their ads on television everyday. Every ones idea is a winner, just watch "American Inventor". Be careful!!

when you have sex with a condom on? is there any feeling at all? and if not how do you cum?

I just got back from Africa where too many people with no money and many with illness and some with HIV are having too many babies. Condoms are widely promoted and easily attainable, and seem to be the answer. But most still don't use them and I can sympathize. For me the lack of feeling with erases the intimacy and I am lucky if I can maintain an erection. It's like I am moving back and forth with a strap-on and all out of sync because I have no nerves to guide me. But the pull-out method is far too risky because small drops of semen can sometimes seep out before ejac. especially when a guy is really trying fend off orgasm. My advice is this:  Only have sex with one, safe partner. Get on birth control or limit yourself. I enjoy going down on my girl much more than having sex with a condom. Sometimes I'm lazy, but I can just put my tongue there and make her do most of the work. There are a lot of things that don't involve intercourse that are very under-rated. And when you know he is the one and you are ready for children, it will be that much better. If you continue to use condoms look for the thinnest ones. Some aren't that bad and if a guy prematurely ejaculates, they might help him last longer. I wouldn't suggest the non-latex Durex Advanti unless you feel guilty enjoying sex at all. It will be kind of like having a dead leg.


I think that the main problem with illegal immigration is that employers use illegals to increase their profits because they pay them much less than they would have to pay an American.  By hiring illegals, employers also keep wages down for Americans in other jobs, which further increases their profits.  A guest worker program is just a sneaky and slick maneuver to have a permanent cheap labor force to insure big profits for businessmen and keep real wages down for everyone else.  Even the immigrants won't profit because they will be sent back after a few years and replaced with new immigrants, thus ensuring a steady supply of cheap labor for big business.  The only winners I see in this equation is the business owners.  Everyone else gets screwed.

it wont solve the problem its amnesty without saying it \n\n\n wonder how many nurses, teachers, or high-tech workers would work for $8 an hour. Wait, you didn't know that Bush's "guest worker" plan would be open to those people too?\nThat's what they have in mind. And, there would be no wage-related restrictions on it other than the minimum wage. So, employers could offer a teaching job for $8 an hour. American teachers would either take that rate or, more likely, they wouldn't. So, the employer could hire that "guest" worker from Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi would consider that a king's ransom. All the requirements of Bush's plan had been met: there wasn't an American willing to do the job.\nBush's plan would force millions of previously higher-wage jobs down near the minimum wage. What phrase would most Americans use to describe such a plan?\n\nWhat exactly does he mean by "families"? Will their immediate family come with them or not? If not, are we going to be able to split up families? Not all people coming here would be Mexicans or from the parts of Mexico near the border. Is Bush going to require men to travel hundreds of miles to see their immediate family?\nIf, however, they're bringing their immediate family with them, there will no doubt be hundreds of thousands of children born, and those children will be U.S. citizens. Who's going to be able to make them go home after they've had a U.S. citizen child? And, won't most "guest" workers intentionally have children here so it will be harder to make them go home?\nAnd, given that, doesn't this plan consist not just of an amnesty, but as a massive incentive for a huge chunk of Mexico's population to come here? Was any thought put into the consequences of this plan at all?\nNo, no guestworker program should take the place of following the law! This still allows the law-breaking illegals to go to the head of the line and disrupts the ability of legal immigrants to get their chance! Until such time as all able-bodied welfare recipients are put to work, all homeless people, all college and high school students have the chance to work, we don't need to import anyone to take our jobs! Stop pandering, stop giving handouts and stop lying to the American people!\nEvery so often the real agenda slips through\n\nhow can an American be expected to do a job that has had the wage undercut by cheap illegal labor from Mexico? How will legalizing this cheap labor change that situation? Of course, it will not. In fact, it will only encourage more border crossing, which will result in more Mexican citizens and others living in the United States and having children who are U.S. citizens, and who are thus harder to deport when their “temporary” guest worker visas expire. Given the fraud, incompetence, and bureaucratic lethargy that mark most government programs, how can the public have any faith that such a plan would work even remotely as advertised? \n\n\n\n\nAll of these illegals will eventually stay, become voters, if the DNC has their way, their population will continue to grow and they will become a voting block that has NO interest in our language, history, military, or patriotism, only the $$$$ that are available will be the main interest.\nThat scenario is not totally here yet, but it is lingering in the future if our national course of extreme liberalism continues to erode the very fabric of our nation.


Me and my bf were hanging out one day then my 'friend' comes up and says"i like your bf" then walks away!\nWhats the problem with her????????????\nDo you think my bf is having a relationship with her????????\nplz tel!!!!

I disagree with this war. I want to know how you feel about it. I am curious to know how you truely view Americans. Do you really feel like our people are in Iraq to help you or do you dislike us for being there?

Help?? lol of course! they are helping themselves...  America (the government) is the greatest terrorist, Hypocrite, atheist in the world from the beginning of it's existence (may be along with Britain.)\nThe people of America however are just sleep, that's all, Lot's of good people! Not realizing what evil is their government capable of!

EXTREMELY INTERESTED IN LEARNING HOW TO USE FRUITY LOOPS AND AM SERIOUS ABOUT MAKING MUSICS ..HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED


I get sick much more often than most people. Here I sit with a throbbing head (the one on my shoulders), blocked and runny nose, extreme lithargy and back ache etc. I must improve my ability to fight these nasties!

well, i read previously in an article that vitamin C is actually not useful when it comes to boosting immunity. in fact, the study on that article was done on a group of 400 people, 200 of whom eat 3-4 times as much as vitamin C as the other group and in the end, their immunity are the same. The group who took the 3-4 times vitamin C only can shorten the time they got sick like 1-2 days. So it really doesnt help. i cant rem when i saw this article, but it was in the Singapore major newspaper months back.\n\nLike yourself, i am very sick prone, i have 2-5 ulcers (canker sores) a month, fever every 2 months. Its almost like a routine to me. I am a non smoker, i dont drink alcohol, i dont club, no drugs. \n\nAnyhow recently i am getting so better (i hope it aint gonna go downhill again). Its my change of environment i guess. Much cleaner air now, i drink more than 2 litres of plain water everyday, do some long distance walking every week (40 to 60 mins fast walk each time), sleep 8 hours a day. Been doing this for 3 months already and i feel so much healthier, and not much problems i mention previously.\n\nHope i helped! :)


how do u handle it when you know you didnt make a mistake??

I own my responsibility and cite some thing that I could have done,or followed up on because I was aware of the situation, if the is an upset boss,peer or customer who had a bad experience,I do not want to be the irresponsible not me ,who waits for someone else to fix things, and usually irate people will immediately diffuse their anger and thank you for being the first person that accepted accountability for your job and took them seriously, in some situations,nothing destroys your credibility faster than passing the buck,my supervisors know they can rely on me to take initiative and behave like an adult,in certain substandard conditions\nif someone is trying to sabotage me ,I have a checklist,I follow to make sure my ass is covered and there is no valid complaint to be made,so I immediately call the person on their bs,inform my bosss that all my work has been done but someone it is not affecting is going out of their way to be unhappy with my prefomance\nif it is a ruthless corporation that breaks rules to your disadvantage,and holds you to high standards of accountability,and plays games like ignore all employee complaints and requests for help in unsafe conditions,then turns around and blames you for complicit guilt by not speaking up when they are busted or sued,then I have no problems covering my ass and getting a supervisor to assist me in writing up my boss or the powers that be for failing to respond appropriatley ,to a matter that I am willing to accept no responsibility for ,should the matter come to court one day.and yes,I had to do this twice and I had to report medicare fraud to the state authorities,that whistleblower bs idealism goes out the windows ,with certain ruthless corporations, because shit rolls down hill and you are the first scapegoat, they would fire and try to get out of paying unemployment benefits in a heartbeat,unjustly\nif you have a strong work ethic and your superiors trust your integrity and you mind your own business,and let miserable people have their angry moments by refusing to take their bitching seriosly or laughing at their ridiculous behavior because you refuse to let someone manipulate you with your misery and you are for the most part pleasant occassionally it is okay to boldly confront an asshole by calling them on their bs and refusing to accept responsibility for this bs ,you can even get away with loudly almost yelling at your boss who comes to sqaush a public blow up by stating you put up with all kinds of bs and still do your best without whining but this is just ridiculous bs that you will not tolerate and are offended that you are not recieving the professional courtesy you deserve,I did this two times ,both times ,the accuser or implier got reprimanded or no support because the boss knew someone has to be very unreasonable and crossed one line too many to get a rise out of me or other employess like this\nif the accuser is male and yelling and you are female,then you must immediately yell,curse back and hurl the blame back at this person and storm off,because some guys are just weird that way and will not respect anyone who won't push when pushed back or stand up for themselves,and this blow up must only happen one time and eventually you become allies\none of my coworkers taught me these tactics on how to survive in hostile environments,or individuals


I am definitely on the side of FORCING ppl to enter our country legally, but is the process soooo impossible that people cannot do it? All of the illegals should want to be here legally for their own safety shouldn’t they? If Mexico (or whatever country) they come from is so bad that they are fleeing, aren’t they worried about getting sent back

Yes, the process is difficult and arduous.  Most of these low-skilled, uneducated people would never make it through the official process - that's why they're here illegally.  But that's because we don't WANT any more low-skilled, uneducated people in this country.  So, this doesn't bother me in the least.\n\nIf you want to learn more about immigration process, check out the official site: www.uscis.gov


Ned is one of the main characters in the novel of “Rice without Rain”. He himself was grown up in a small village with no parents. He has gone through a lot of stuff and worked hard to achieve what he has achieved.\nNed could be considered as an observant person, who carefully watches what’s going on around him. He pays attention to the people and things around him and observes how they react to things that have been said or happened. When Jinda went to Bangkok, Ned was being observant. He often was thinking about Jinda and what would happen in the future. Another situation where Ned was being observant was at the university where all these people asked Jinda questions.\nNed is also someone who cares, puts effort into his work and the most important he respects his work. In short, he is ambitious about his work and things he does. At the village of Meakung Ned was working hard to convince the villagers to support his idea. He wanted his idea to success. Another example of him being ambitious was at Bangkok. There he was the leader who organized everything for the huge demonstration. He wanted everything to be perfect for the strike which is another sign of being ambitious.\nNed is also a gentle kind of a person, who cares about the people he knows. He was very gentle with Jinda at the village and in Bangkok. He supported her to not make her feel lonely at Bangkok, which helped Jinda to feel better.\nIn conclusion, Ned is a kind of person who wants to success in life but also help other people to have a better life.

wow....thats not even considered a question anymore...more of a paragraph....\n\nO.o


or is he an abuser would be who just doesn't want to get in trouble?

Just a would be abuser that is afraid of going to jail.  It would be an honourable statement if he said he wouldn't hit you because REAL men don't hit women.

I'm writing a story and at one point I have one character saying to another character.  "Please just give me a chance to say my piece."  The question I have is; in this context should it be piece or peace?  Thanks for your help.

My Win XP is currently not genuine.  I have the original windows sticker iwth the code on it.  My Harddrive was formatted and I lost it all.  A friend installed a bootleg Win XP.  I have a legal code but don't know how to change it.

You can't. The "bootleg" copy your friend installed is not really that.  It belonged to someone and has a legal code of its own. But when your friend installed it he/she had to enter the code so call and ask for it.\n\nDo you not have the original disks from whatever computer company you bought it from? There should be a disk with everything that has Windows XP on it to reinstall.

Losing the one you love the most seems like the hardest thing to overcome. So how do you know whether it's time to move on or if the other person still loves you, that there's just something wrong, that time will bring you two back together?

Sitting around, wondering & doing nothing won't get either of you back together. If you think it's worthwhile to try again, make the first move & see what happens. I'm not saying go all out and tell him outright. That's just me & I'd much prefer the guy to take the lead to let me know where he's headed. Just call and say Hi or leave some kind of messsage that let him know. See what he does next. Be prepared for the worst though as he may have moved on. At least you won't spend your life wondering.


why is that i have been raised to wait till marriage to have kids and sex yet im only in my early teens and i want kids but then again dont bc i know all the things that come with it...so i know not to have kids but what i dont know is why i want them? does this make any sense?

You want to love and be loved and right now your world seems  out of your control. You are starting to crave independence yet you still have to submit to other people's rules; You don't yet have a complete understanding that the freedoms adults seem to enjoy are tempered by responsibilities.\n\n  You think (perhaps subconsciously) that having a child of your own will somehow make you an adult, with all the rights and privileges they enjoy. The love of a child is absolute and unconditional, all they ask for is for you to love them  back. What you have to provide is that...and EVERYTHING else. The thing about having a child is, you in effect dedicate your life to them. There is no more ME, there is only US...and you can't get tired of it and just decide to quit. You can't "break up" with them or get a divorce. There is no negotiation with a child, no friendship, there is no parity...you are RESPONSIBLE for them in every way. (This is what it feels like, such is love.) \n\n  Why do you want to have kids? Because that is one way to have a constant and permanent anchor in the world. When all the rest of the world changes beyond your control, you think this is a bit of stability. But when you have them you learn that even this isn't true...and now you have something even more precious to lose than even your own life.


ones are all level and no cancer and all could I be done and that is it no menopause?

How old are you?  If you are under 40 it is could be peri-menopause, but really, I would go to another doctor for a second opinion.


the word is, I think 'wigga' maybe?  What the heck is that?  Please if it is bad I do not mean to offend anyone, but let me know if it is offencive so if my kids say it I can tell them I know what it means.

well it is bad and derogatory. i think if u replace the w with an "N" u will figure out what it means for a white person.


What kind of face soap do you use? If i had a little acne, but only like  two break outs a month. what kind of cream or soap would you recommend?

Is this a real question?  :-)  2 break outs is nothing to worry about.  Drink more water to flush toxins out of your system and you probably wouldn't have any problems.


I am interested in a Director's position with a non profit, I have a Masters and over 15 years experience, looking for Eastern southern states.  In my searches all I seem to come up with are computer jobs, sales or sites that want you to pay them.

Yahoo has a site through Hotjobs.com, and you can input search preferences. Your best bet is to keep your original request simple (don't put in too many keywords right away) and sift through the results yourself. It takes forever to find and apply to jobs that work out the best for you. I'm in the middle of just such a search myself. Try looking into a major publication in your field (magazine, professional journal) and see what they have on their site for employment recommendations. Another good thing to do is check on University webpages. The big ones often have extensive lists set up to assist students in their searches, why not use it to your benefit as well? Good luck!


ok, so i like this guy and he seems to like me too. We talk and have gotten to know eachother but he's very shy and quiet.. which is cute but whenever we talk i'm always the one who starts up the conversation n has to keep it going. I'm wonderin if maybe he's not interested or if he needs to work on opening up to people. What do you think?

maybe he's just quiet b/c he doesn't know what to say to you. he could be really attracted to you, but afraid to say the wrong thing. some guys have trouble expressing themselves to girls--especially if they like the girl.\nhe could also be really shy all the time. take note of how he acts around his other friends (guys and girls). if he's quiet torwards them too, he probably just needs to work on his people skills


Where have all those nutters gone who used to walk around outside football and rugby stadiums  with a big board telling me I'm going to go to hell when the world ends at halftime gone? Did they go away in 2000 when the world didn't end or did they just realise they where wrong?

they went back to their shanties and participated in incest with their mothers - thats what all bible bashers do!

Can they do it or will it be an early flight home again for the Three Lions??

England will win their group most certainly.  I think whoever steps in for Rooney (i.e. Darren Bent, Crouch, Defoe, or even Joe Cole) could step in for him admirably.  He is a great player, but his absence should make the players still around play that much harder!  Keep in mind they have Owen, Gerrard, Lampard, and Joe Cole, guys who never seem to have a hard time finding the net when it is necessary!  I think they will get to at least the quarterfinals, but I am pulling for them to go all the way.


I'm a Sophmore at highschool, and for my Junior year at highschool i have a choice of whether to take AP physics or Ap chemistry or just standard living environment, what do you recommend i should take and why?

If you plan on going to a major university, take the AP courses.  The admissions people are going to look at what courses you took in high school and if it comes down to you and some other applicant, and the other person took more challenging course in H.S. (figuring you both had the same grades and had similar ACT or SAT scores), they're going to pick the student who was more motivated and wanted to be challenged.  Take the challenging courses or the easy way.


I have been given a metal sheet music stand, but I can't open it up, there must be a trick to it!  Anybody out there familiar with these things?

be in the hall of fame I think that he should be in the hal of imfamy. That is rediculas i mean he used steroids. Babe Ruth was up about 2000 times less then he was. So i think that that is not fair.

Who is Barry Bonz?\n\nIn all seriousness, there is no proof that Bonds used steroids. Did he use them? Probably. Did he use them at a time when they were banned by major league baseball? Probably not. If he explicitly took something that was against the rules of the game at the time, then he should be punished. If not, he was merely playing the game as it was allowed to be played. \n\nOn a sidenote, don't forget that Babe Ruth doesn't hold the record, Hank Aaron does. Babe Ruth is now tied for second all time with Bonds, and Bonds has a long way to go to get to Aaron's record. He'll retire before he gets there.

What you see is what you'll get. No way out of that one. But just to let you know all the facts, you should talk to a doctor and be informed of the dangers of that. females who say they like it, LIE. Men are the only ones who benefit, and why should they?!!! one word SELFISHNESS!!!!


And a split?  I need to get my lower body as flexible as possible and as fast as I can. Thanks

How fast, a week, a month? You should stretch after warming up your body a little bit.  While practicing gymnastics we hold a stretch up to 3 min. Also your lower back has to be flexible to touch toes. Try a few back stretchs also.


Women generalize that men get big fat promotions and raises, but it's not all men who get them. Women complain society values them based on their looks, but the value society gives a man is directly proportional to his height. \n\n-Every extra inch in height brought a man an additional $600 per year in salary.\n\n-Job recruiters, choosing between men of comparable backgrounds and skills, select the taller man 72% of the time.\n\n-Promotions/Raises come faster to the taller man.\n\n-Women find taller men "Significantly more attractive".\n\n-90% of company chief executives are "above average" in height.\n\nWomen can do things to improve their looks, men can't do anything to change their height.\n\nDo you agree men face even worse pressure than women?

No. \nI agree some people might occasionally judge a man by his height, but that is different than being constantly judged everywhere you go like women are, and the affects aren't nearly as far-reaching.  \nIt is society's ideals of women that make us want to be with tall men:  if we are the bigger one in the relationship, it makes us feel more masculine and unattractive.  Its unfair to both sides but that's how it is.  However, men and women who can learn to not care so much how people view them can get over this.  And everyone knows short guys are better in bed because they work harder to make up for their own body issues.


http://WhatJewsBelieve.org\n\nNone of the Real Prophecies concerning the messiah have been fulfilled by Jesus.\n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one cou


Any info on this topic would be great, especially what poland plans to do about these problems

poland does not face as many economic challenges as the wealthier countries such as Britain and Germany, because their currency is not worth a great deal, so it would not have to be devalued to meet the requirements of the Euro. They also gain from the fact that they are able to go and live anywhere else in Europe much more easily now and get a well paid job wich they cannot in Poland. The only challenge that they will face, is that the Euro will push up the price of most of their day to day shopping goods. They will also receive enormous subsidies from the rest of Europe.


who know dreamwaver code CFM very much can you give me your email add i want send my code to you because i have problem about my link~~

I have a Diawa Samurai med-heavy rod and reel combo, it has the magnetic backlash reducer, which I either don't have set right or it doesn't work. And I want details.  I am looking for how to aim, which hand to use, and when to stop the spool with my thumb.  I am right handed if this helps with an answer. Nothing worse than a generic or simple answer, I need details, such as aim at clouds etc... Thanks in advance.

#1.) Make sure you are using a heavy enough lure and set your reel...this must be done EVERY time you change lures. Tie the lure on and reel it to the tip. Now with your magnetic drag on 0 set your mechanical drag by loosening until the lure begins to drop slowly. Now put your magnetic drag on 6-7 for now and back up as you get better eventually ending at 2 or 3 for a setting on you magnetic. IMPORTANT** if your lure is too light you are screwed and will backlash enough for you to break the rod over your knee.\n2.) For a righty casting is very similar to hitting a raquetball . Depress the thumb bar and keep your thumb on the line...load the rod on your backcast and swing sidearm with some wrist at the end of your swing and take your thumb off the line (using the theory of a hammer hitting a nail usually helps)...where you stop the rod is where the lure should fly. Practice on targets will improve accuracy and thumbing the line to stop short will come in time.\n3.) You may be having some difficulty because a med-heavy rod is really almost a flipping stick....a whole nother story...it would be easier with a 6 ft. med action rod which will let you cast a little lighter lure easier and give you a hell of a lot more sensitivity...either way keep at it...it'll come in time and it does have some advantages with certain lures (cranks, topwater) over a spinning rod but then again the spinning can outdo the baitcaster with other things (worms, spinnerbaits). Hope this helps....Tight Lines!!


Isn't blowing up essential places (oil pipes, marketplaces), armed forces (army, police) and public personalities (politicians, civil servants) just part of the resistance, even if civilians get involved? Do you think this is only modern warfare of the weak to fight or senseless and revengeful terrorism against the civilians?

Insurgencies are conditions in which the population revolts against a government because the government will not, or simply cannot provide the necessary governance for life.  This population can be likened to the criminal gang and organized crime elements more then conventional war fighters or terrorists.  The insurgency in Iraq is composed of primarily men 18-38.  They tend to be decentralized in operations, are local within a small territorial range and recruit their fighters from local talent.  When the group gets too large, there may be internal violence, mass killings and rival rifts as members compete for upward mobility.   Their “Cause to Die For” is the failure of the government to meet the most basic levels of life and to provide hope.  They almost always spawn from decapitated states especially if the levels of basic services do not improve with time.  Their cause is never an ideology or idealistic dogma and therefore they will have the propensity to ebb and flow based on the need of the day and the targets of opportunity.  Because they are not driven by a single ideology, members can quickly apostatize.  This fact can be used as an important counter insurgency weapon.  \nThe insurgent is apolitical and much more primal in their motives as compared to terrorism or conventional war fighters.  Insurgency warfare is not politically or religiously motivated.  Notice how this flies in the face of the conventional war fighter’s paradigm proposed by Clausewitz, “War is the extension of politics by other means.”  If a word could describe insurgents it is self serving—power, money, lawlessness, food, freedom of oppression, survival, etc., and once spawned, their aim is protractedness; not about winning.  Insurgents don’t have a goal of winning although they would not mind seeing their enemy fail, they win if the struggle continues to gain momentum and they draw others into the fray—that breeds chaos.  Finally, insurgency battles are small scale quick engagements that are executed locally within kilometers of their homes.  \nThe insurgency in Iraq is acting locally without thinking globally whereas the terrorists operating in Iraq (although much smaller in size less than 5%) are thinking globally without thinking locally.  This is not to say that they do not get outside support, momentum and efficacy from the outside, and from each other.  They certainly gain influence and power from the outside and even funding/support may be from external sources but in the aggregate, there is not enough self-interest for large numbers of outsiders to physically risk fighting at the grass roots level.  And, those that do fight are doing so for reasons much different then the primal needs of the insurgents.  It would not be unusual to see uncoordinated terrorist elements operating in the same area as an insurgency.  The primary rebel movement is local insurgency.  The major difference is that the insurgency targets are much more tactical, whereas the terrorist are more strategic in nature.   It is important that the two be kept separate because the methods of engagement are significantly different and the momentum that is gained when one is attached to the other is synergistic.     \n\nThe terrorist in contrast is based on the terrorist’s commitment to violence as a small group (usually ranging in group size from few to less than one thousand members) in order to intimidate a population or government to cause fundamental change.  The group size is limited by command and control capabilities. Their cause is ideological and political, based on group-actualization rather than self-serving.  It is aimed at the establishment, not decapitated states; however, terrorism enjoys the freedom to operate unabated in failed states.  Finally, rarely will anyone ever develop a counter terrorist strategy to change this group’s apostasy.   Their beliefs are so deeply held that they appear to the world as radical and extreme.

you seem like such a lovely guy and to be honest.. from what you have said   that girl does not deserve you.. You deserve someone who will love you as much as you love her.. and im sure she's out there somewhere.. it seems like this girl is keeping you on standby just incase things don't work out with the other guy..and even if she does loose this guy she will have another on standby sooner or later...she knows your too good for her and she's taking advantage of it!!please do yourself a favour and start the process of letting her go now cause it will take time .. and time heals!! and the one thats right for you will come along after you have healed from this girl.You derserve better and i think you know it !!It's not worth loving someone who doesn't do the right thing by you hun!It eventually makes your heart turn cold!


can you bring a Mizpah coin to bootcamp and actually wear it? I'm assuming it's a no, but i heard that you could bring religous items, and i don't know if that counts...

it 'should' be allowed, i can explain what i know about boot camp.  If it is a small chain with a religious symbol on it he should be able to keep it.  Trust me dont make it something that you cant stand him losing.  He will have a foot locker (3f wide and 2 ft tall) for all of his items, along with what he wears.  This chain could break, get lost or stolen very very easy.  \n\nIf i would suggest any religious symbol, use a stainless steel chain (CHEAP) and go cheap on the medalion also.  His footlocker will be emptied and thrown about a number of times, all of his gear will get mixxed up.  So dont depend on him having it at the end of the 3 months.  \n\nSee there is an X-factor here aswell, at any time the drill instructors could decide that it is not allowed and take it away, and then its gone.  One thing is for sure, DONT MAIL IT TO HIM, he wont get it then.  Im sorry but the best anyone can tell you is 'maybe'.  \n\nWhen you first get to boot camp, you go through in-processing.  empty all your pockets and dump them in a table, then they tell you what you can keep for boot camp, what you can put in a bag for storage until graduation, and what gets thrown away.  Hopefully he gets lucky.


I need to relate the Pythagorean Theorem to real life. What are three jobs that thats people would use the Pythagorean Theorem with?

They always put updates and news half over the screen (ie. horse racing) when somthing important is going on and you miss it. I was watching the F.A Cup final and it was a joke. Its happened in every game I watch

i agree withyou pal.the FA cup final coverage was really poor.and they had commentry in regional language in my country,india.that really sucked.


this is mens basketball i'm refering too.

Kansas state? Go to their web site or try a search engine.


Or SO bad??? and also, how long have they been togther??

they are awesome. But i'm not going to tell you that. Why don't you listen for yourself. You don't need people to tell you what you should tihnk. Jeezzzzzz people these days are helpless. Ok i'll break this down for you. Alright first you buy a cd. Then you put it in the cd player. Listen to the songs. Then this is the hard part. Say "i like it" or "i don't like it"


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

You are eating more than you spend.  Average person needs ~2000 calories a day to keep the body functions normal anymore than that is stored as fat.\n\nEat right and exercise, the only two time tested methods to weight loss.


it hurts my thought, it lingers for a long time, some of my co workrs smelled it but we do not know what it is & if it can be dangeress

Depending upon where your office is, would be a clue as to what it could be. If you're in a tropical place, insecticides could be used and the residue could be noticed, this wouldn't be toxic to humans (current drug standards prevail), unless someone is allergic, but they would have to have a huge dose to be affected. If you're in a cold climate, then what is used for heating could smell noxious, but carbon monoxide, which causes death is odorless. The most common cause of noxious smells in offices comes from whatever people spray on themselves, such as perfumes or hairsprays, and some of these can offend any ones sense of smell, and cause allergic reactions.


Okay, so...there's a girl I know who I really haven't been able to get over because there's not really been a clear yes or no answer to if she likes me or not...but awhile ago, she said she didn't wanna give me any false hope and I know it means she didn't want me to expect something but I'm curious as to if that means for sure she isn't interested. What do you think?

It's called "female ejaculation". If she "squirts" that means that she has reached her peak becasue you've stimulated her g-spot. It's like having the orgasm of all orgasms. Every woman wants to achieve it, but not many women can do this. What come out is just mucus, female lubrication.


I like mechanical engineering, im really into robotics and automation. But are there any other engineering fields that might be interesting to a hands on person with a knack for taking things apart and putting them back together?

That will really depend on you. Mechanical will be a good start. See what else you really like, talk to a guidance counselor to start getting headed in the right direction. If you don't like their answer, talk to a different one. There are lots of engineering jobs but again, Mechanical should get you ready for a very wide array of careers.


There was man who worked at the World Trade Center.He was married.On 9-11 he didn't go to work, instead he went to see his mistress.Let's just say they weren't watching the news.Pretty soon his cell rings and it's his wife."Thank God it's you honey!Where are you?"He replied"What are you talking about?I'm at the office"Now they're divorced.

His plans just slapped him in the face. Being that he didnt see the news, he doesnt know his building just crumbled. And he is out cheating on his wife. He definatley had that coming.

I set up the time slots it crashs my IOS is 12.3(6e).\nWhen using channel-group command to set up the channels the router reboots itself.Please guide me in detail how can get rid of this problem and Configure the router .My card is 1CE1U. I can not download any newer IOS and Patches from Cisco Site because I'm Iranian and I don't have premission to download such softwares.Please help me as soon as possible thanks alot

Two part answer...and you probably won't like it...\n\nUnfortunately, until the Iranian government starts behaving like it wants to have a reasonable place in the world community of nations (based on the view of the community of nations and not the views of the politicians of Iran), you're pretty much on your own.  The IOS you already have was illegally exported (if you are in Iran), and I think you know that.  You guys isolated yourselves. Now you get to deal with the consequences. \n\nThat said, the problem probably isn't the IOS.  It sounds more like you have an issue with either bad router memory or a bad E1 card.

Go see your Doc.\n\nThey have a medical degree, plus they see hundreds of people each week, which allows them to build a huge wealth of experience.\n\nYou will get opinions from this site, based on one person's experience.

Highlight and discuss the contributions of health education to national development

Well, my boyfriend is the health teacher in our building and let me tell you that kids have no idea about health.\n\nFor example, here is what one student said after a semester of male anatomy, they called the pituitary gland the testicles.  In one way she was right that some guys do think with their "lower brain."\n\nMany of my students do not know about the anatomy and the effects of drugs/alcohol.  Do you want the future generation to think that the pituitary gland is really the testicles?  I know I don't.

My homeboy met this fine chick. Really, really fine chick. But one night a group of about 12 of us played truth or dare while we were drunk. Someone asked her if she ever smoke crack and she YES!! But she is fine as a MF. Should he leave her b/c of that? We all know that crackheads will do anything for that next high. Maybe she has done obsene things maybe not. She won't tell. But she IS fine and doesn't have AIDS!! I personally saw the results. What should he do? Remember she is fine but she SMOKED CRACK!!!

PEOPLE EXPERIMENT WITH ALSORTS BECAUSE SHE SMOKED IT DOES NOT MEAN SHE IS AN ADDICT. GIVE HER A CHANCE BEING ROUND YOU AND YOUR HOMIES IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME SHE HAS FELT PART OF A GROUP

My laptop does not have an s-video port.\nMy TV has component and DVI connectors.\nI cannot find any cable which does this.

The problem is that the two video signals are very different and not compatible.  You'll need something to make the conversion.  Usually, devices used to convert video signal types are called Scan Converters, so if you do a search on that you'll probably find lots of stuff.  I understand CompUSA has a pretty good selection of them. \n\nYou'll probably find VGA (which might also be called HD15, high density DB15, SVGA, or 15 pin RGB.  They all mean the same thing!) to component video easier to find than VGA to DVI.  However, check to see if the DVI port is "DVI-I" or "DVI-A".  The way you can tell is if there are four holes around the "bar" slot on the right hand side of the jack.  If you don't have those holes, you have a DVI-D which is digital only.  The problem here is VGA is analog only, so you'll need a device to convert analog to digital.\n\nIf you *do* have four holes around the bar on the right hand side, you can use a DVI to HD15 cable.  Remember, though, that this won't carry any audio!  You'll need to find another way to do that.\n\nI've attached links to pictures of DVI connectors and a link to a DVI to HD15 cable that my company carries.


is it true that i shud drink gatorade if i work out? if so should i drink it before or after? and how much is recommened>?

you really only need water unless you workout a lot and intensely. You can drink it anytime but only water gets to your system right away. Take it in small sips. If you wait till you feel thirsty then you are to late. Gatorade because it has nutrients and sugars has to go into your intenstine to get used. Water starts to get into your system right at your mouth. One benefit besides the nutrients of G is it tastes better so you may drink more. Personally you can save the G till the end of a workout if you need it at all.


Hi everyone,\n\nMy boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get him!!! We have been together for years and this happens everytime I need to buy him something!!! \n\nAny suggustions??

whatever you get him, don't get him an xbox or anything like that.  If you do, that'll be the last time he'll ever pay attention to you!


My language arts teacher wants me to write a 2-3 minute persuasive speech. But, it has to affect teens and something that they can do about it (a bad speech topic would be the hat rule, because you can't control it.)

Something you might want to do is look in local or school newspapers and see what issues come up. One issue may be the exit exam tests here in California. This is an issue because many teens are failing the test and are not passing highschool. SOmething that can be done about it is protesting, writing to local congress and getting involved in the process.\n\nI am hesitant to let you get away with doing a speech on why it sucks to not be allowed to bring iPods to school or something like that. So really try to think of a realistic issue teens face.\n\nLike:\nSex, drugs\nPressure from parents.\nDivorce at home\nNo community outreach to teenagers.\n\nGood luck


i don't love my x husband i think he is a a low life but i have all these crazy dreams about him like he's the hunchback of notre dame delivering furniture to me and my new husbands house another one i'm  in a restarant and he comes up and starts yelling at my husband in real life he cheated on me and married the one he cheated on me with i remarried too i don't ever think about him why do i have so many strange dreams and my husband gets really mad none of them are sexual ?

I have had some of those same dreams about my ex.  I really do not know what to tell you.  The shrink says that there are some unresolved issues that I have with him and that I need to work them out for myself.  The difference with me and you is that I have a child with my ex.  This puts a big dent in things on the disconnection side of things.  The biggest thing is that you have to realize that these are fears that you may have in your subconscious that you may have to deal with, to make your dreams stop.  It sounds like your husband is really jealous.  That is something that you two have to work out.  What I did is reassure my new husband that he is the only one for me and that will not change as long as he will have me.  That may work for you.  Sorry that I cannot be of much more assistance.  If you want more advice let me know, K.

I was told that this fight happened i think at either Iowa State or University of Iowa. The wrestlers were suspended and the basketball players ended up in the hospital. I want to get some info or an article on this so i can show my History teacher who makes fun of me for wrestling. He happens to be the head basketball coach at my school.

No...No such fight ever happened..some one played prank on you


A pc as in a personal computer! A friend and I are having a debate and would like the answer!

As quoted on wikipedia for INVENTION:\n\n"An invention is an object, process, or technique which displays an element of novelty. An invention may sometimes be based on earlier breakthroughs, collaborations or ideas, and the process of invention requires at least the awareness that an existing concept or method can be modified or transformed into a new invention. However, some inventions also represent a "quantum leap" in science or technology which extends the boundaries of human knowledge. Legal protection can sometimes be granted to an invention by way of a patent."\n\nThe keywords here are "Displays an element of novelty". A computer displays such a novelty. Before the computer there was no such idea in place that would describe a computer. It started out an idea and humanity created it out of necessity and out of curiosity. Expanding the limits of humanities own knowledge.\n\nSecond point is that it was based on earlier breakthroughs in the fields of electronics, the principle of electricity and the "invention" of the switch.\n\nBecause of its novelty, the fundamentals of a computer are protected by patents, thousands of them. So if you apply this principle to the computers parts, you could say that a computer is a product of thousands of inventions.\n\nBy taking something known and extending it further than has been done before, that right there says a computer is an invention. The computer has also spawned inventions itself... like the invention of Yahoo Answers!

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints. It is a disabling and painful inflammatory condition, which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction. The disease is also systemic in that it often also affects many extra-articular tissues throughout the body including the skin, blood vessels, heart, lungs, and muscles.\n\nFeatures\nRheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory multisystem autoimmune disorder. It commonly affects the joints in a polyarticular manner (polyarthritis). The symptoms that distinguish rheumatoid arthritis from other forms of arthritis are inflammation and soft-tissue swelling of many joints at the same time (polyarthritis). The joints are generally affected in a symmetrical fashion. The pain generally improves with use of the affected joints, and there is usually stiffness of all joints in the morning that lasts over 1 hour. Thus, the pain of rheumatoid arthritis is usually worse in the morning compared to the classic pain of osteoarthritis where the pain worsens over the day as the joints are used.\n\nIf the arthritis has been longstanding, the inflammatory activity has led to erosion and destruction of the joint surface, which impairs their range of movement and leads to deformity. The fingers are typically deviated towards the little finger (ulnar deviation) and can assume unnatural shapes. Classical deformities in Rheumatoid arthritis are the Boutonniere deformity (Hyperflexion at the proximal interphalangeal joint with hyperextension at the distal interphalangeal joint),Swan neck deformity (Hyperextension at the proximal interphalangeal joint, hyperflexion at the distal interphalangeal joint). The thumb may develop a "Z-Thumb" deformity with fixed flexion and subluxation at the metacarpophalangeal joint, leading to a "squared" appearance in the hand.\n\nSubcutaneous nodules on extensor surfaces, such as the elbows, are often present.\n\nExtra-articular manifestations also distinguish this disease from osteoarthritis (hence it is a multisystemic disease). Haematological: Most patients also suffer of anemia, either as a consequence of the disease itself (Anaemia of Chronic disease) or as a consequence of gastrointestinal bleeding as a side effect of drugs used in treatment, especially NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) used for analgesia. Splenomegaly may occur with concurrent leukopaenia (Felty's syndrome).\n\nDermatological: Subcutaneous nodules\n\nPulmonary: The lungs may become involved as a part of the primary disease process or as a consequence of therapy. Fibrosis may occur spontaneously or as a consequence of therapy (for example methotrexate). Caplan's nodules are found as are pulmonary effusions.\n\nAutoimmune: Vasculitic disorders, giving nail fold infarcts, neuropathies and nephropathies.\n\nRenal: Amyloidosis, which can also give muscular pseudohypertrophy.\n\nCardiovascular: Pericarditis, valvulitis and fibrosis.\n\nOcular: Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes), episcleritis and scleromalacia, which can lead to fissure and leaking of eye contents.\n\nNeurological: There can be signs of mononeuritis multiplex and atlanto-axial subluxation. The latter is due to erosion of the odontoid process and or/transverse ligaments in the cervical spine's connection to the skull. Such an erosion (>3mm) can give rise to vertebrae slipping over one another and compressing the spinal cord. At first the patient experiences clumsiness but with undue care this can progress to quadraplegia.\n\nEpidemiology\nRheumatoid arthritis occurs most frequently in the 20-40 age group, although can start at any age. It is strongly associated with the HLA marker DR4 (W4, W14 & W15 are associated with the disease and W10 & W13 are protective) - hence family history is an important risk factor. The disease affects females:males in a 3:1 ratio.\n\nDiagnosis\n\nDia

My son wears braces and is having a terrible time talking suddenly after 1 1/2 years.  It turns out he never put his tongue in the correct position before.  It's supposed to rest at the roof of the mouth.  His rests behind or through his teeth.  It is causing his speech to be terrible!!!\n\nWe are starting to place cheerios on the tip of his tongue so he can practice holding it on the roof of his mouth, as instructed by the doctors.  As a young dating-age fellow, it's very embarassing to have such speech problems.  \n\nAnyone recovered from this?  What has worked?  What has not?

I'm sorry to hear your son is having trouble speaking properly. But don't worry! There is an organisation called Myoresearch Co. that manufacture a variety of appliances that will treat your son's tongue thrust. The site for this organisation is: http://www.myoresearch.com\nIf you go to it and look up the appliance T4K or T4A, depending on the age of your son. If your son is a teenager and has all of his permanent teeth, then take a look at the appliance T4A. You can also contact the organisation if you want to ask them further questions and also ask them for ordering details! If your son is willing to comply with it, the appliance will work. It looks just like a mouth guard and he will only need to wear it when he goes to bed and for 1 hour during the day. The appliance is designed to retrain the tongue and correct myofunctional habits that braces alone cannot resolve.\n\nI hope this helps :)

Hai. I think I'm really confused. To begin with, I'm not sure where exactly I shud post this Question. But my real problem is this. There is a teacher in my class who I really admire. But it didn't really matter much until I found him invading my personal space(like in my dreams, for eg.) I fell really confused and my friends make things worse by relating me with him. And I've started hating myself for having this kind of feelings for my teacher. After all teachers are to be respected, not adored, right?? So can someone help me by suggesting what I shud do to go on without having to be angry with myself??

What your feeling is actually very common.  Because teachers are people to be respected and listened to, we tend to find the good qualities about them, and sometimes that can turn into a crush.  Just remember that teachers are professionals, and there to help you.  Sadly, you most likely won't have a chance with the teacher, so don't chase something you can never acquire.


I am designing a web site that pulls from 3 different includes, two of which contain Javascripts (embedded, not linked.) The result is that whenever I click on a link within the site, the page goes blank BEFORE loading the page. This looks terrible, what can I do with the javascript to prevent this from happening?

There really isn't anything that I know of that u can do in java, but try not having the scripts embedded. It sounds like the computer can't handle so much info.
