I've run into this statement a couple of times and I'm baffled.  Is it just ignorance?  Do these people just not know any married gay couples, because they pretty much do the same thing straight couples do.\n\nThey get up in front of their family and friends in overpriced formalwear and pledge to stay together forever.  They have children.  They own homes.  They gardern and grow old together.  They take the kids to soccer pratice.  They own minivans.  They work.  They worry about bills.  They garden, they make dinner together, they go to relgious service together, they take their kids to the park, the zoo, and birthday parties.  They lean on each other for emotional support.  They love each other.  They go grocery shopping.  They bicker over who will clean the bathroom or scoop the catboxes.  They love their children.  They make sure their kids are doing their homework and help if they can.  \n\nHow is that not marriage?  Is having a penis and vagina *really* more important then all this?

They probably meaning that they get married and marriage is in the bible and it is the joining of A MAn and A WOman by God and in the same bible it says that homosexuality is a sin against God. That is what it is meant by saying gay marriage is an oxymoron!\nI am not saying i agree! just letting you know

Everybody has one of those days when they encounter the "dark side" of the Internet - infected by spyware, malware, and all sorts of "wares" that it gets really annoying to try and remove them all one by one.

i would like to know what do rich country people now feel about india as it is rich and very developing country now?India was alwayz considered to be a poor and uncivilized country.But now thingz hav changed...so what do you feel?

I happen to be reading a New York Times bestseller called "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. One thing he talks about is India's emergence as a major source of educated workers mixed with a solid work ethic (of course, he goes into much more detail, including quotes from Indian businessmen running companies with all sorts of ties to the West). \n\nHowever, he does point out that India's infrastructure (power grid, etc) greatly needs to be improved to make a further leap.

How do you take perfectly thin transverse sections of monocot or dicot stem without using a pith like potato or carrot?Please tell me a technique of identifying from a section under microscope whether it is monocot or dicot, even supposing my section is  thick.is there any way of identifying by just looking at a piece of the stem.Please tell me a trick or shortcut to identify whether monocot or dicot.I desperately need to know.

On a typical dicot stem, look for the vascular bundles to be situated around the outter region of the stem.\nThe monocot's vascular bundles will be distributed throughout...\n\nHere, check out this link. This confused me a little too when I was in Botany.\n\nGood Luck


pele or george best?  Ronaldinho or Zidane?

i will say Pele & Zidane...Deciding b/w G. Best & Pele is kind of hard so...but with Zizou & Roni, both are technically excellent (remember at their best! i know Zidane is done)..but Zidane has more stamina & a better team spirit. Roni as one will say in jargoon, chooses his matches.

WHAT DO U HAVE TO SAY?\nIS IT GOING OT HAPPEN OR NO?\n___________ VS_____________?\n    WHO WILL IT BE?

I'd say it already started...the pre-lude was 9/11 attack on America. Act I was the US invasion of Iraq. Act II will be a middle east conflagaration around Israel,Palestine,Syria,Iran axis. Act III - while US is busy defending Israel, North Korea will take the opportunity to invade the South and China will takeover Taiwan...leading to nuclear showdown similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Act IV - will be the breakdown of the "system", loss in confidence of US economy, long gas lines at the pump, Constitutional rights abolished Act V - the end...who knows how it will end, but Einstein said World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones....


My brother recently told me that his family doc found two liqued filled cysts in his scrotum. He is very upset and thinking the worst. They have scheduled him with a urologist, but he is looking for comfort and answers now. What should I tell him?

Probably just an acumulation of fluid much like cysts that can happen on ovaries.The urologist will just drain them and keep an eye on the area. If he has alot of pain they will probably do more. With my ovarian cysts they just waited for them to burst on their own. It wasnt too painful.


ok, I grew up as catholic, going to chuch and I stop going to church like 9 yrs ago............I do believe in God, but I don't think I should be in a religion in order for me to believev in God ( like I do pray at times and I know there is God out there)......... is there a religion or what am I considered? Is there a religion that it's just believing in God and not going to church just as long as you believe in God? what is that religion?? is there such thing??

What you are describing is called being spiritual but not religious.  Good work.


funk is great dancing music....\n\nrap isn't music,can't dance to the garbage. all they do is throw their hand up or out every time they SAY a word,they don't even sing.\n\nWE WANT TO BUMP,BRING BACK THE FUNK!!!!!!!

No it didn't. When I hear something that sounds like old school funk now it's most often called Neosoul. I love the sound of it & it's coming back more & more. It reminds me of Chaka Khan, the Gap Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, etc.\n\nI have to disagree with you some on rap though. When I was listening to it (back in the day) much of it had some great, dancable music, & carried social & political messages. It was groundbreaking in the urban culture, poetry to music. Much of the rap I hear now is very angry, or over-sexed, & profanity-laced. I miss old school rap, & I love gospel rap (yes it does exist & yes it is tight)!


Looking at the map recently, I was struck by this question, which has been in my mind ever since I remember but for which I've never seen or read a discussion.  It seems that Europe is simply a region of the tectonic plate that contains Asia (India excluded, of course).\n\nDoes anyone know the geology of Europe?  Is it in fact on its own tectonic plate, or is it a political construction set up centuries ago to advance some notion of separateness and supremacy?

No....Thare are only 5 continents when u look at at globally geographically through geographical time.\n\n1. North and South America\n2. Africa\n3. Eurasia \n4. Australia\n5. Antartica

Just heard U.S. Representative Murtha on the McLaughlin Report.\n \nA Marine who lost his hands and blinded disarming and explosive (friendly fire) in Iraq was refused the Purple Heart, Murtha told the Marine Commandant if he doesn' t give this Marine a Purple Heart, that he'd give him one of his. He got his Purple Heart.\n \nAnother Marine who lost his foot and blinded and after released from Walter Reed Hospital went to John Hopkins for his eyes and is now being dunned by a collection agency for non-payment, his father is in jail and mother is unemployed.

Here's the one I thought was bad: Lieutenant Rebrook got a bill when discharged for $700 to cover the loss of the armor he ruined by bleeding all over it when he got shot.

We had a wonderful relationship and will be getting married next year. I do not want to force him to shower me with all attentions and many more. Im trying to figure out different ways that i can keep my relationship more interesting for my Fiance to be with me willingly than me to tell him what i want from him . I wanted him to feel freedom to be with me all the times. Like for an example: I was working at my office. My fiance came to me before lunch hour to suprised me with sunflowers. It makes me smile to know that he enjoys being with me very much. HE did it on his own. So im trying to spice more for us to stay interested in eachother to make him feel that he needs me more . Right now, hes working late with long hours each day. So?!?! I dont want to lose our sparks of our relationship like this. How can i bring sparks to maintain our sparks wonderful relationship?Help me with some ideas? Its like I  am in love with him each day. Thanks, America

So what steps can I take to revolve my life less around the internet, and still use it without staying on for hours. Please take into consideration that I'm a student and need to use the internet everyday.

Find a hobby.  Music, reading, sports.  Prioritize your life.  Put family, yourself in front of using the internet.


I have seen fat women on talk shows talking about how they were made fun of in school or when they went out. Whining about how nobody made eye contact with them or guys did not hold the door for them and look at them. BOO HOO! As a Fat woman myself I wonder were in the heck are they going? I was never made fun of in school and I always have people making eye contact with me. Guys (and good looking ones) hold the door for me and smile and say hi. I am not saying that they are flirting, but they are nice. So what the crap? Buck up ladies! So again I ask, where are you people going that all these mean evil people are at?

I am so happy to hear that you haven't had the bad experiences that a lot of these women have had. But, just because you haven't been made to feel badly about yourself does not mean it didn't really happen to them.\nI think it really all comes down to self-esteem and confidence. If you think highly of yourself & love you just for being you, you probably won't even HEAR if someone says something nasty. But if you think negatively and get down on yourself all them time, you are more susceptible to hearing exactly what you tell yourself all the time. It seems mainly to be a matter of perspective. \nGood for you for believing in yourself, girl!


experts have noted that Mars as well as other planets are getting warmer. why is this happening. there are no people there.

Global warming is a plot devised by scientists of the world to dominate the planet !!!\n\nYou see if we accept this theory as fact from then on scientists will be able to control everything that we do based on the complex interactions, almost unfathomably complex, between consumption and global warming effects -- thus, scientists will be allow to make educated guesses if they like, which will almost always certainly result in politically correct and repressive conclusions that forward the goals of this neo-imperialism.\n\n\nThe bottom line for this question is that the LONGEST historical charts showing the temperatures on Earth show that we are currently quite COLD !!!  In fact we are currently tied for the coldest period ever on the long term charts, the entire period if life on Earth. Thus, odds are very good that temperatures will raise no matter what we do so over the very long term scientists will be found to be correct that the Earth is indeed warming up. And I am sure they will continue to blame the heating on human activity and they will continue to try to use this to gain control over the free peoples of the world. Although since this trend that shows the Earth being currently quite cold is a very long term trend, in the million of years, so this is a long term gamble for the scientists a lot can happen between now and when the longer term trend is likely to kick in.\n\nBut the idea that this heating is unnatural or some how damaging to the Earth is silly because the long term charts show that the Earth is usually much warmer, during the last 542 million years, the entire period of time that life has existed on Earth.\n\nEvery classroom and library show have a large poster on the wall to show the temperature record of the Phanerozoic period, the last 542 million years, to remind people of the absurd conclusions science can reach from time to time.\n\nIsn't it interesting that 542 million years shows that we are currently tied for the coldest temps EVER !!!\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Phanerozoic_Climate_Change.png\n\n"The Phanerozoic (occasionally Phaenerozoic) Eon is the period of geologic time during which abundant animal life has existed. It covers roughly 545 million years and goes back to the time when diverse hard-shelled animals first appeared. The Phanerozoic eon is still ongoing." \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanerozoic\n\nIf you look at the chart of Holocene temperature variation we are not hotter, on the average we are cooler -- notice the long term cooling trend or downward slope of the chart.\nHolocene Temperature Variations ...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Holocene_Temperature_Variations.png\n\nFrom this chart it looks like we are currently on the top of an upward swing that started with the mini-ice-age in the 1600s and that we are currently topping out.\n\nThis is probably why scientist are currently predicting in the future, both, much HOTTER weather, and a new ice-age, it is because it is time for a new long term downward trend -- well, that is on the short term chart showing the thousands of years, yes in terms of millions of years we are still currently VERY cold !\n\nAnd 5 million years of temps changes shows we are cooler, but fluctuating ...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Five_Myr_Climate_Change.png\n\nAnd 65 million years of temps changes shows we are\ncooler, but fluctuating ...\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:65_Myr_Climate_Change.png\n\nIsn't it interesting that 542 million years shows that\nwe are currently tied for the coldest EVER !!!\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Phanerozoic_Climate_Change.png\n\nSo I think the scientists that know about this LONG term temperature change believe we will get hotter no matter what, so they can't loose even if the current theories of Global Warming turn out to be BULL of planetary proportions !!!\n\nThe ice-age temps shows our current temps to be fairly typical, notice the other peaks were HIGHER and sh


Hydroxycut is a diet pill, now ephedra free. I started using it about 2 weeks ago, from what i heard it gives great results but its not working, i watch what eat, and even run 2-3miles a day? \n\nHydroxycut is basically suppose to get rid of fat, and start to show your six pack (whats underneath the fat). I really dont have time to do crunches and when i do, do them i feel as if its not doing anything and dont have a set routine or find it hard to have one. I really would like this to work. Are thier any other options or products anyone has used, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! :)

Problem is that you won't see a six pack unless there is actually one there, no matter how much fat you burn.\n\nIs your stomach flat, but no muscle? Sorry to say, but that means your have to do crunches (be sure to include other ab work, so you are toning all of your abs -- try pilates - works great!)\n\nA LOT of people are just built to carry around a little extra weight in their belly; again, crunches/ab work, along with losing general body, will help you to tone up your stomach.\n\nYour didn't say if you were overweght or not, but please bear in mind, even the skinnest people tend to have their "problem areas." Eat healthy, exercise (cardio and muscle traning), will allow you to have a "nice", (not perfect) figure.\n\n(It is nearly impossiable to get that "hard core" defination you see on TV -- if you want that, you should invest in some personal trainer sessions, and plan to spend long hours daily working toward that goal.)


Jason a highschool boy with highly functional autism, was the Arcadia Highschool Basketball manager. He never got to play. The coach put him in the last part of the last game and he scored 6 three pointers in four minutes. The crowd went wild. He has now had offers for 25 Hollywood Movie deals.

I think it is great, it proves that there is more than enough room in society for dissabled individules to succeed. Lately I've been outraged over sports emphasis on having "the perfect team", and the newest equipment and such, it is great to see sports make a difference in peoples lives. I have been a involved in bowling for many years, and there are many dissabled bowlers. With ailments such as downsyndrome, autism, and physical ailments as well, I think is is what sports were ment to be about, not wasting tax payer dolars on pointless entertainment, but to create a sense of self worth, and self esteem. I hope sports in general will follow this example, I wouuld much rather watch autistic individules play basketball, than a bunch of spoiled, doped up, snobby, whiny ivy league brats. Fun, teamwork, and competition, that is what playing sports is all about, not "The big leagues" or million dollar contracts, but people who put thier heart and soul into thier game.


i have been taking birth control pills (orthotrycyclen lo) for about 8 years now.  i'm 29 and i since i don't have a steady boyfriend i don't plan on having sex for a while.  i like the way the pill regulates my period and hormones but i don't know if i should continue taking it if i don't plan on having sex.  are there any long term effects from taking the pill?

The risks really aren't that bad, as long as you continue to have your yearly check-up. They increase after the age of thirty IF you are a smoker. There's an increase in the risk of strokes and blod clots I think. Hope this helps.


Can it effect, lets say...a baby-if the person holding the baby is high on meth? Through skin on skin contact?

The effects of meth use in a parent child relationship goes a lot further than concern the baby will get the drug into their system. Meth users have no business anywhwere near a child and that is why child protective services will remove the child without a second thought and any family court judge in the land would take away custodial rights. If you are in a situation like this do what is right for your baby because the baby can't protect themselves. Good luck.

She left her boyfriend for a week or two and he went looking for her to get her now there back together and shes pregnant and hes hitting her again so what am I suppose to do to help her I mean she changes her mind about being with him and leaving him al the time.  Am I suppose to get her out of the relationship or no?

The best thing you can do is be supportive during those times when she is wanting out.  I would recomend trying to help her hook up with some of these special battered women assistence organizations.  They can help her get relocated so he can't find her and help her with financial assistence if she needs it also.  What ever you do don't give up on helping her out of this situation.

More specfically, how can I teach my students to draw an electron-dot diagram?

This is based on the electons in the outer shell of the atom you are drawing. From the periodic table you can see how many electrons are in the outer shell e.g. Na has 1, Cl has 7, to create a complete shell (8) they combine to form NaCl. \n\nIf you wanted to draw all of the electrons then you would draw the first shell with 2, which completes the first row of the periodic table, then the second with 8, then the third with 1 (for Na). For Cl you would draw the first shell with 2, which completes the first row of the periodic table, then the second with 8, then the third with 7. \n\nIf you wanted to show the bond between them then you would draw the shells with the final circles combining and two electrons touching the circles.\n\nI did a search and found the website below, there are probably better ones out there but this gives a pictorial representation of some of what I say

LIKE IF YOU ARE DATING A MAN AND HE GOES ON VACATION FOR A MONTH AND HE COMES BACK AND AS SOON AS HE PENTRATE YOU HE CUMS. EITHER IT MEANS HE'S BEEN HAVING SEX RECENTLY OR HE HASN'T AND MISSES YOU SO MUCH HE CAN'T HOLD BACK?

I just think he really misses you my husband goes away all the time for his job and that happens alot  we just start over I hope its because he misses me or else we are both being cheated on  oh no now you have me thinking (not really)


I have an old Think Pad that has served me well but is out of date and no longer doing too well. I am wondering what I want in a new one and have been looking on overstock.com etc.\nWould appreciate input.

yes, depends on what your looking for.\n\nTo be portable then go Centrino and make sure you get a Pentium or the newer Celerons which 512 cache, SATA drive and at least 512MB ram.\n\nTo get a desktop replacement which will be faster but heavier and have less battery life you go with a P4, 2.6 or higher but watch for the price break at over 2.8.\n\nBrands are another matter, each has a plus and a minus. Dell has great prices and quick turn around if your notebook dies however their support is lacking in my book. 90% of the time their first action for any support call that they cannot figure out in a few minutes is to reload your OS. This does not seem to matter what the problem actually is, a reload will fix it, Not. IBM which sold off to Lenova still makes a top of the line notebook but I have heard some issues surrounding support. You'll still pay more for a Thinkpad but it might be worth it. Gateway still makes some good stuff however everyone is scared they might not hang around much longer, I tend to disagree and they are pricing stuff pretty well.\n\nOf course there are still Acer, Compaq, and dozens of others out there including "whiteboxes" which tend to be just as good as well. Truthfully they are all pretty good but as with most things you get what you pay for. That said for $500 you can get a pretty good machine from Staples during their sale tomorrow and Monday. With a one year warranty on a name brand system for $479 how wrong can you go.


What should I do, in your opinion, to prove to many who believe that anyone leave Islam either he got paid by ppl or agent or uneducated!!! huh?  how to prove? should I put my gallery of photos? should I put lectures on Islam?  do you think there is any way to help?   any idea?   \n\nIf I criticize Islam to show my ideas about it, they say it is lies, even I cite Islamic sources,  Is there anyway to solve this problem.  by the way, I don't wanna use this forum for discussions and arguements anymore..because Yahoo Answers deleted some of my quesitons alleging that it violates terms by putting "Re:"...etc   so in opposite, I ll report anyone use the answer for "re:" and attacking. never hesitant. so we can serve the community.  \n\nDo you have any idea about how to convince Muslims?  don't tell me don't refute Islam, because it is unfair Islamic scholars rediculate and prohibit other religions preaching, while we can't talk to them.  it's unfair. NO OFFENSE

You can't convince them.  They are not able to accept that you rejected their religion on evidences, because if they were to accept that, then that means that their religion CAN be rejected by an intelligent person on the basis of evidence.  They can't allow themselves to believe that because they need their religion to be true.  They need to believe that there is substantial evidence for their religion.\n\nTheir world would fall apart if they realized it wasn't as they think it is.  Too much is at stake for them.  It is very very hard to lay your religious beliefs on the line, TRULY look at them from a critical distance, because you have so much tied up with that religion.  It gives you emotional support, it forms your entire worldview, it is part of your self-identity and it is the most important element of your life.  It is frightening to even consider that it may be false.  So people are not able to see the evidence you put before them, because they are not looking at it objectively at all.\n\nYou can only have any effect with your evidences on those who are truly willing to look at them with true objectivity.  But that person is rare.  They are out there, obviously you were able to do it.  So you can only do so much in convincing people.

At the moment, I'm thinking about getting into the video game industry...but I'm not positive at this point and I'm wondering if it would be better to major in computer science for a more general and wider range of options...what do you think?

You will have so, so many more options with a BA in computer science. But it is also harder to obtain this degree. It is considered one of the hardest majors. My first major was computer science but I found out quickly that I don't have the logic that it requires. Computer science majors are definitely a different breed. If you excel in math, then you will probably do fine in computer science. Strong math skills are required. \nIt will also probably be much harder to find a job as a gaming programmer because you won't have such a wide range of options that computer science would give you. Something else you may consider is that since jobs are not as available for gaming programmers, you will have to move where the job is, whereas with computer science, you could find a job in just about anywhere you WANT to live. At the same time, I think the gaming industry will only expand. You might check out salary.com or similar sites for career forecasts. \nI think that you should do what you enjoy most. Have you ever heard the saying, "Do what you love, then find someone to pay you for it"?


My laptop motherboard crashed and now I am trying to recover the information off my laptop, any ideas?

Yes. Just about any computer store (CompUSA, MicroCenter, Best Buy..) will have an external or internal adapter (or both) available for sale. You cannot simply plug it into your desktop because they have different interfaces and a laptop drive is significantly smaller than a normal desktop hard drive (2.5" vs. desktop's 3.5"). The external adapters are typically some sort of enclosure with USB connection and the internal ones are typically a simple pin conversion adapter. Internal will probably be cheaper since you won't be paying for the enclosure.

don't listen to that other girl, because I was wondering this same thing, that site is just some commercial thing where you pay them money and they translate something for you, complete forget her, doesn't know what she is talking about.\n\nI was actually hoping someone was going to answer this question, so I had to go look for myself, I found this....\nhttp://www.studyspanish.com/freesite.htm\n\nnot quite what you were looking for, and I don't know if that even exists, so I would suggest you keep looking, like on yahoo.com or google.com, hopefully you find it.\n\n**Added @ 10:54**\nOk perfect, I think I finally found it. Not only do I think I might of helped you, I might be taking my own advice ^_^\nhttp://www.donquijote.org/\n\n**Added @ 11:02**\nWell upon closer inspection, I'm not actually sure if it was the great thing I thought it was. It claims to have a free beginners part, but I have yet to be able to get onto it, but it does have alot of other free stuff, so I just suggest you check it out.

I think it was used in the Moscow Theater hostage crisis.

The gas was based on derivatives of fentanyl, Health Minister Yuri Shevchenko said Wednesday.\n\nFentanyl is an opiate-based narcotic 100 times more powerful than morphine, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists. It is used for pain relief in surgeries, and is the most common narcotic used for anesthesia in surgeries done in the United States.\n\nFentanyl can cause extreme drowsiness, but American anesthesiologists do not use it in doses meant to put patients to sleep. It's used in the United States to stop breathing during surgery when breathing is mechanically supported.\n\nIn high doses it can not only knock people unconscious but also cause them to stop breathing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in such doses fentanyl can be fatal.\n\nOther potential side effects include liver, heart, and kidney problems as well as nausea and vomiting. A person who vomits while unconscious may choke -- another way fentanyl can lead to death.\n\nOne reason Russian forces used derivatives of fentanyl probably was how quickly the drug works. "People have less time to react," Dr. James Cottrell, president of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, told CNN. "It kicks in within a matter of minutes."


(Artemis was also goddess of the moon and wildlife.)

That stuff about the Great Mother is bull... it's not possible that every goddess originates from the Great Mother, which is what every scholar wants to argue.\n\nAnyway, the reason the virgin is connected to childbirth is that, according to the legend, she helped her mother give birth to her twin, Apollo.

I understand that String Theory, Super Gravity, etc. require additional spatial dimensions that we can’t detect, but what about additional time dimensions? None of the books I've read rule it out.

Yes. Wormholes subconciously send a ray of time 100 Million years  later into our universe. Witch means we wouldn't notice that it use to be the dinosaurs time and a quasar or worhole zapped us here now! You can never enter a wormhole once you enter it its portal to time closes and anybody who goes in it is trapped in eternal nothingness.

Is it normal for your body to twitch as you are falling asleep/after you are asleep?

Twitching in your sleep, or any kind of muscle spasm, is a sign of magnesium deficiency.  If you take a magnesium supplement at night before you go to bed it should give you a better night's sleep.  Start at 1,000 mg, see how it feels.  You can take up to 3,000 mg, but if you take too much it will give you diarrhea.  Our diets are typically low in magnesium, unless you eat a lot of buckwheat (not white or whole "wheat", buckwheat is a different grain altogether) or almonds.


What makes people fart? What goes inside in our bobdies to make us fart?

Intestinal gas comes from many sources, such as carbonated beverages and certain foods.  However, liver enzymes also have an impact on gas; for example, a person who has liver dysfunction will often produce more gas - liver cells that have died or do not work correctly cannot process the incoming nutrients.  Ever wonder why a guy with a "beer belly" has to blame his smelly gas on the dog all of the time?  Just another good reason why not to drink.


so you can skip the intern and go right directly to the residents?  And also he said I have to go 1 year of residents, is that it? So the time after the first year is optional?\nAnd also he said to get a MD or DO takes 3 years, so what schools that offer only 3 years?

The time involved includes the aptitude of the person and their wishes to specialize.  However, the longer you spend time as an intern the more you'll get out of a residency.  Both are intense learning experiences that give you a chance to determine if you want to specialize and if so, in what area.


One shower is with my family (aunts, cousins, etc) and the other is with my close friends who live in a whole other city. And my bridesmaids (though I love them!) arent the most creative gals, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just went to a bridal shower and they had some cute activities that were fun -- and not embarrassing for anybody.\n\nBuy some cheap plastic wedding rings (the kind that are sometimes used to decorate favors). Give each woman a ring when they arrive and tell them if someone catches them saying the word "love" during the shower, they get the ring. At the end of the shower, whoever has the most rings wins a prize.\n\nBefore the shower, ask the bride for a word, associated with wedding, that starts with each letter of the alphabet. At the shower, give each woman a piece of paper with the letters printed down the side (and a pencil/pen). They are to write the word that they thought the bride said. Whoever has the most correct words wins.\n\nThis activity was a lot of fun, if you have enough women to participate. Divide them into groups of 4 or 5 and separate them. Then give each group 4 rolls of toilet paper, some ribbon, and some elastic bands (or anything you have handy). Each group is to pick someone to be the "bride" and dress her (using the toilet paper and ribbons) as they think the bride will look on her wedding day. The bride picks the team that she thinks did best and each member of the team gets a small prize. This is a great one as an icebreaker. Lots of fun. Be sure to have a camera ready!

Is there any other way to get rid of stretch marcks besides of having surgery!I used to be realy skinny and know I have gained some weight....how do I get rid of them

There's no getting rid of them. You can massage Palmer's Cocoa butter or shea butter on them two or three times a day. It will dimish them, but not get rid of them. In order to fully get rid of them, you would have to get laser treatments.

I am a big girl (220 lbs) and I'm 13 and I don't look that big because a lot of it really is muscle, but I'm still bigger than the other girls in my grade because the average weight is 105 lbs and most of the girls are like 5'7...in other words as skinny as a model...and so I can't get a bf...can I do something (other than lose weight) to guys to like me? (and dont u dare say something like "tell him ull give him h/e/a/d" or anything like that....) Thanx! BTW: I'm really shy

Sweety.....there IS someone for everyone. Your someone may not be at your school right now, he may not even come from your school. You may met him later. He may move there from somewhere else.\n\nYes, I'd probably agree with you that most men prefer women of thin build. Is that fair you may ask? It's not about what's fair. It's about personal tastes....likes and dislikes, that's all.\n\nFor example; the majority of people like football too....agreed? Well, some don't. It's just about personal taste, and some things seem to fit within what a majority of people  would tend to like.....like football, or a particular build of woman.\n\nIf you wish to lose weight, do it for you, and no one else. You really do have to be the person you are tho. Shy, not shy, heavy, thin, light hair, dark hair, short hair, long hair, long nails, no nails, whatever. Understand?\n\nYou have to learn who you are and what you're about. You have to be confident with yourself, and then.....someone will come along and like you for exactly who you are.\n\nI know it sounds like a mystery now, and it seem unfair. And that it is frustrating for you, but trust me. Think about yourself and work on being a good person. Develop the person inside because that is what shines thru when you meet people. \n\nIf some don't like you because of your looks....fine...so be it. It does and will happen. Don't take in 'inside' you.....those people have more problems that you do, and I'll bet that 99% of those people may look beautiful on the outside, but are empty, dark and of little substance on the inside. The only way they can feel good is to trash someone else. They are doing you a favor by showing you what they are made of. It makes things very clear-cut for you! You should pat them on the back and say, "Thanks for showing me what kind of as----le you are!"!  lol\n\nLike who you are......work on the person you are, because you are not defined by others, or a boyfriend. You're defined by who you are and how you behave towards others.\n\nYou'll be FINE......:)


would you date someone with their two front teeth sticking out going left and right, with the bottom teeth all rotten and some are missing and the person has real bad breath (I actually know someone who looks like that)and have good dental insurance at the job!!!


my GF is in my family so that I want nobody understand ....

it depends on how long you've been dating.  If its only been a few weeks then something small, but it shows that you like her.  for a long time....engangment?


a lot of people dislike Pres. Bush. I won't say that every decision he makes is the right one, but at least he sticks to his guns. He uses morals unlike his rivals. He would be a lot more popular if he made his decisions based on what a lot of lost and misguided people out there wanted him to do, instead of doing what is right. If he supported gay marriage and abortion and a couple of other wrong things his support would be much higher. These things are wrong. I don't judge people for what they do because it is not my place. However, I am concerned with what our kids are seeing and learning at a young age. If being gay was right then there wouldn't be two genders. If you aren't ready for kids then don't get pregnant. Use protection so we can stop spreading diseases for the present and future. We are our own worst enemy. As far as the war goes don't listen to the media. The media focuses on the negative. We are liberating people who couldn't do it themselve as well as other successes.

President Bush made certain commitments at the site of the World Trade Center in NYC (right after the cowardly attacks on America by terrorists) that he would fight terrorists wherever they are.  Almost everyone agreed with him then, especially Congress including most prominent Democrats.  He has stuck to his guns and has not broken under tremendous pressure from the liberal far left.  There have been no further attacks on US soil, knock on wood, thanks to President Bush and many terrorist leaders have been killed or captured.  The liberal far left has not offered a single alternative to resist terrorism.  Oh, they proposed that we go get Osama bin Laden; but don't invade any foreign soil!  Thanks for nothing.\n\nHe could change his policies to placate the fiery Liberals (but believes that would be very wrong for US safety).  The Democrats taught his father how viscious they can be when he said "Read my lips, no new taxes" but caved in to Democrat pressure when he allowed modest new taxes to help pay for the first Gulf War that liberated Kuwait from Saddam.  You just know the Democrats would be the first to jump all over George W. if he breaks his word to the American people and eases up on terrorists, encouraging them to grow even stronger and violent here and around the world.\n\nThe Liberals want to put our soldiers in jail and throw away the key for any mistakes they make, but send a former Liberal-Democrat US Attorney General (Ramsey Clark) to defend Saddam at his nut case trial.  They should install cheering bleaches just for the US Liberals in the courthouse.

It would be a pentagonal pyramid because its base would have 5 edges (10 divided by 2 = 5). Prisms and pyramids are alike because with the exception of their bases, all other faces are the same shape (triangles for pyramids, rectangles for (right) prisms.


if i am 18, and i have friends who are minors, in what ways am i legally responsible for them when we do something together?

If they're in your car and you're driving, then yes.  I don't know about Illinois, but in California you're responsible for the passengers in your car minors or not.  If one of your passengers isn't wearing a seatbelt, you can get a ticket in addition to them getting one, even if they're an adult.  When they're not in your car (or even just if you're not driving it) you're not responsible for them unless you and their parents sign something saying you are.


i need to know totally how a sensor work.eg the doors that open when a person come near to that.

In general, the basis of a sensor is to measure some physical property (sound intensity, temperature, light intensity, position, velocity, acceleration, to name a few) and produce an electrical output that represents the amplitude of the property. There are sensors that don't output an electrical signal but indicate amplitude in some other way such as position. An example would be a mechanical speed governor. But the majority of sensors have an electrical output since we are able to do any needed amount of processing of such a signal.\nMicrophones and motion detectors are examples of acoustic sensors. Microphones generate an electric signal that is an analog of the sound it receives; i.e., the signal shows all the vibrations that make up the sound. This can be amplified and used to drive loudspeakers, recording equipment, etc. (If used to detect motion, this would be called "passive" detection.) Acoustic motion sensors use "active" detection. A very high-frequency loudspeaker sends out an ultrasonic sound signal, which results in a particular signal being reflected from nearby surfaces and returned to a microphone. With nothing in the sound field moving, the microphone receives the same sound frequency as is transmitted and a constant amplitude. A moving object reflects some of the sound back to the microphone at a slightly different frequency (due to the Doppler effect) and with slightly different amplitude due to the changing interference pattern created by the motion. Depending on the type of detector, the frequency and/or amplitude change triggers a detection signal, which then can be used to energize an alarm, open a door, turn on a light, etc.


Guys,\nI was see-ing a guy last summer for three months, he told me two weeks before he broke up with me that he was falling in love with me, then he said he wasnt ready for commitment and we split. Some other girl told him she fancied him and i think that made up his mind for him that he wasnt ready to be tied down. Hes not see-ing her or going out with anybody now but hes still in contact about once a week with me since last summer. Its never gone two weeks without him being in touch. I never contact first, its always his choice. I do reply to his sms etc but last week i decided that im not going to reply to him anymore. I havent seen him since we split and im glad because i think i still have feelings for him. He text on Valentines Day to wish me a nice one etc. Havent heard from him since but Im sure he'll be in touch this week. I think Im doing the right thing by giving up on him? Im kinda still heartbroken but i think im that way because hes still in touch with me?

my advice is to stop all contact with him, he must understand that you are not just something to occupy his mind when he is sad or missing you, he should either be with you or forget about you, you are the one here who keeps on being hurt, this constant remembering won't do you any good if you want to move on and get a life. next time he sends an sms call him and tell him to stop. and tell him that these contacts won't be good for either of you. try and find a nice guy who appreciates your feelings.


replacing an old hot water heater with a new one

Very simple....buy the same size and model as the old one, turn off the power/gas to the old one. Disconnect the old one from water/electric lines, and take it out. re connect the new one exactly as the old one was. Turn on power/gas.....if it is gas, light the pilot. Voila! you are now a master plumber and saved yourself a bundle. You will be surprised at how easy it is.


I don't believe in the idea of a petty God with vindictive rules.\n\nSo the answer is no, you wouldn't go to hell if you're a Christian and it turns out that Buddhism was the One True Faith because even then, you'd be forgiven if there is a God.  Just live your life the best way you can and be good to yourself and others.


DO NOT. I repeat NOT write in say he sucks because he dosen't.

No one knows how Joey Harrington would perform in the NFL, because he has yet to play for an NFL calibre team.  With the offensive line Harrington has had in front of him, Peyton Manning would be a loser too.  Protection issues indeed!  Also, has anyone bothered to count the number of dropped balls his receivers have had?  They lost at least two games last year because Roy Williams couldn't hang onto sure touchdowns.  So, yes, Joey has the potential to be a successful NFL quarterback.  I just doubt that the Lions "fans" will give the guy the chance to prove it.


A savings that is insured by the government, but only pays 4% or a savings plan that is not FDIC insured, but pays three times as much?  I wouldn't put all my money in it, but do you think it's okay to put some?

There's no "better" or "worse"; just varying levels of risk.  Put what you can afford to lose in higher risk accounts, because...it IS higher risk, and it's possible (although not likely) that you could lose all of it.

Now and days no money is software business so wana to try somethings else. Hey just joking.

Traditionally, writing and distributing malware was about impressing your friends and the hacker community.  But things are changing.\n\nToday's malware writers are moving to for-profit opportunities.  As stated in the original post, they use malicious software to gather information from consumers and businesses to make money.  Money making activities include criminal activites based on social engineering, identity theft, and theft of intellectual property.  Once in possession of information of value to other criminal elements, they sell it for a profit.  Again, the for-profit motive is taking over from the pursuit of bragging rights.


i have always been hypothyroid since i got diagnosed 15 yrs ago... i have NEVER had a labresult showing i was hyperthyroid... BUT for some fluke reason ??? , i've had a cpl labtests come up with a VERY LO TSH... range about 0.001 - 0.020 BUT have always had NORMAL free T3/T4...  i do NOT have nor have ever had any symptoms of hyperthyroid...on the contrary i know i need my synthroid increased... been 2 yrs past due... i know my body better than any dr. so i know what my symptoms are trying to tell me... but this dr. ONLY looks at the labwk with NO INPUT from me at all...  consequently i have gotten pretty sickly from not only not having my synthroid increased (like i said, the labwk is unusual for me...but i know my symptoms as in the past 15 yrs or so)...  BUT this dr. decreased my meds... i am suffering from increased hypothyroid symptoms to the point where i cant get out of bed somedays....  anyone know of having tsh tests that are in contradiction w/ your symptoms?

Are you on any other drugs?  I know my thyroid goes really out of wak like that when I'm on different prescriptions.  Also, watch the amount of calcium you take in a day.  I was told to never take my synthroid with any form of calcium.  I guess this coates the thyroid medication causing it to not work correctly.  Sorry, I'm not a Dr nor do I ever wish to be, but I can tell you it happens to me frequently.  I'm so screwed up that when I am tired and want to sleep I'm wide awake and unable to!  I would maybe try checking out a new Dr. for a second opinion.  Good Luck!

Too many rules and no clear intreptation on many of them?\nAnyone else need to vent?

They keep you confused so they can keep as much of the interest free loan you give them in taxes every year. Do you honestly think our forefathers intended for the tax system to get so far out of control? It's just insane! Their rules are like saying the sky is blue, but only on Tuesdays when you were red pants or on Fridays when half the population is on lunch. They don't have set rules for everyone and that's just ridiculous!

I asked a question a while ago asking how to get rid of a cold. I was told rest and Vitamin C. Well it didnt go away so today i went to the doctor and he said i have Bronchitis. Can Some one plz explain to me what it really is, and if it is deadly if not treated on time?

bronchitis (brŏnkī'tĭs) , inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bronchial tubes. It can be caused by viral or bacterial infections or by allergic reactions to irritants such as tobacco smoke. The disease is characterized by low-grade fever, chest pains, hoarseness, and productive cough. Acute bronchitis is rarely serious in otherwise healthy adults, but it can be dangerous in infants, children, or adults who suffer from underlying respiratory disease, especially emphysema. It may subside or, particularly with continued exposure to irritants, may persist and progress to chronic bronchitis or pneumonia. The more prolonged chronic bronchitis is frequently secondary to a serious underlying disorder. Chronic bronchitis affected 71,099 persons in the United States in 1986. Cigarette smoking is the risk factor most often associated with chronic bronchitis. Bronchial inflammation can be severe; cough and bronchial spasms are treated with antihistamines, cough suppressants, and bronchodilators. Antibiotics are used if there is evidence of bacterial invasion.


I was told by a good teacher of Science that the only dimensions of the universe are= distance (meters),Time(seconds),Mass(kilograms),Angles(degrees)\nNow main streams physics college Professors say there are twenty six dimensions? Who is right ? I'm so confused!

Well it depends on what you mean by dimensions. Some of the "dimensions" you list are parameters or variables. \n\nHowever, according to the standard definition of dimensions, we know about 4 dimensions (3 space and one time). There have been many attempts to unify the 4 fundamental forces of matter ("unified field theory") that have postulated the existence of more dimensions. This possibly started with the Kaluza-Klein theory, creating a 5th dimension. \n\nModern string theories and other theories require more dimensions. Many different types of string theory exist, and many different suggestions for the number of dimenions exist as well in string theory. However, no one really knows which if any of these theories are correct. The current leading string theory, M-brane theory, requires 11 dimensions.

hard to believe that a country depending on boats didn't manage to get that far.\nI heard the vikings discovered america before columbus, too.

Vespucci didn't get to America until 1497.  He was not the first.  It is possible, I suppose, That the Japanese made it, but there is no evidence to support that.  Some say that St. Brenden the Navigator may have been the first to land on America.


I have a math problem and i am having difficulty writing an equation for the problem... hopefully someone can help. The problem goes like this:\n\nThe number of sunspots counted in a given year varies periodically from a minimum of 20 per year to a maximum of 120 per year. Between the maximums that occured in 1750 and 1948, there were 18 complete cycles.\n\nDraw a graph representing two sunspot cycles statring in 1948.\n\nSo far i have gotten this much: \namplitude = 50 because 120-20 is 100 and half of that is 50\nperiod = ?? i think that it is (2π/11) but i am not sure\nphase shift (horizontal = -1948 because i need to start in the year 1948\nvertical shift = +70 because thats the average of the sunspots max and min.\n\nif i put it all together i get:\n\ny=50cos((2π/11)(x-1948))+70\n\nis this correct or am i off because when i put it into the calculator i get different numbers for 1750, which is supposed to be 120.

I derive essentially the same function as you do:\nf(x) = 70+50*cos(((2*pi)/11)*(x-1))\n\nThis function is the actual function of sunspot activity with the first maximum occuring in year 1 and maximums occuring every 11 years thereafter including 1750 and 1948.\n\nThe reason your calculator is giving you wrong results is that it is in "degree" mode rather than in "radian" mode. (Don't feel too bad, it took me almost an hour to figure out I had my calculator in the wrong mode too.)

Probably one of the best ones out there is RPG Maker XP. It costs about $90.00 US but you can find versions around the web.


Just wanted to know the (biological / medical)link between depression and being over weight.

Many that are overweight do not realize that they are seriously overweight until it is diofficult for them to get rid of the extra weight. This makes them depressed and upset with their self-image, they try to ignore it and seek pleasure-giving behaviors to combat the depression. Food almost always gives pleasure, so many overweight people eat to combat the depression. This is the beginning of a vicious circle where eating makes them happy, but more overwieght, which causes more depression, which starts the cycle again. Many chronically overweight people are then "food addicts" for the above reasons.


Besides stars, what is in the midle of the Milky Way Galaxy?

Just about all astronomers agree that at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy (and probably at the center of most other galaxies) lies a supermassive black hole. It probably has a mass at least 2-million times that of our Sun, and is approximately 96-million miles in diameter.\n\nThese figures come from careful observation and measurment of the motions of other objects near the galactic center.\n\nThis page has more info, plus a photo ---\nhttp://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap021018.html


car onto a busy downtown street, walk four blocks, and climb back into the car.  Would you do it (knowing that there would be no danger of physical abuse)?

OK, but I hope the charity is for the blind because once I take that walk there are going to be a lot of people poking their own eyes out.

I do not know how to state the question simpler than that

There are two things necessary. \n\nThe first is education. Our Jewish religious schools and Sunday schools and Hebrew schools stink. The afternoon experience is not that pleasurable after a day of public school. However, we must learn 1)why we believe what we believe, especially in contrast to the majority faith around us, which is Christianity see http://WhatJewsBelieve.org , and we must learn not just how to do Judaism, but also 2)why we do what we do in the practice of Judaism\n\nThe second thing we must learn is how a human being incorporates the knowledge of something into the accepted belief of that something. There are plenty of people who have PhD's is Judaism, but who are devout Christians. They have studied and understand Judaism, but they dont incorporate it into their lives, they have not accepted it as their own. When we find out the hows and whys of a person who decides to accept a faith as him own and practice it, and not just to intellectually understand it, then assimilation will become extinct.


How can they know (or surmise) what is billions of light years away?

Hmm...the Hubble has surely helped with that, for one. The observories here on Earth are incredibly sophisticated, with high-powered lenses. When a probe drifts into space, I suupose it can still take distant pictures if it has battery power left.


when i put the cursor at some icon on the desktop,all the cursors on the desktop  will disappear at once! so i really can't click any icon on the desktop! what's wrong with my computer? i reloaded my os just now! can anyone give some suggestions?

for some questions this form of question and answer is unsuitable, a dialog would be more useful. ok anyway -\ntry the following (if not already done): right click on a free area on the desktop and select "arrange symbols" and then click "arrange automatically". this will place your desktop icons on a fix location. then try again to click on a icon - does it still disappear ?


Can maasturbation  cause Syphilis?\n( Please don’t recommend websites on syphilis, i don't need that.)\nI mansturbate on my bed and sleep with my sperm spread on my pants.This continued for long , now i see that i am loosing some of the upper skins of my penis after drying.There is no pain , nothing.Is it Syphilis?

No. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease. You can only get it through sexual contact with another person. Touching yourself is a solo act, so there's no danger of syphilis. Your skin is likely irritated from the dried semen sitting on it overnight. Take extra time to clean up and you should be fine. Also, make sure you are using a lubricant, as this could be a chafing issue as well.

and she hung up on me. We live in the same town and go over every weekend. So I know she is mad because she doesn't want us to move, but we are doing this for us. What should I do now? How do I get her to see that this is not about her but about what my husband and I want to do?

She knows but she needs time to soak up all that information,and  she needs time to figure out how to tell you how much you will be missed.And she needs time to figure out how to apologize to you, then on top of all that she will then have to figure out how to let you go and grow up without it breaking her heart. Give her a break you just gave her a lot to think about and probably in a short amount of time. but alas i think things will work out sooner than you know, you have a very special Aunt. count your blessings.


what are your helps and any info on treatment.

Find your own pace.  Some people like to hurry and for someone with COPD, it can use up your energy quickly.  Find your own pace, one that works for you.  My uncle was in his late 70s, had COPD, yet accomplished more in a day than most people younger than him.  I asked him how he did it and he said he found his own pace and stuck to it.  The other part of my answer is to follow doctor's instructions, get your flu shot every year and try not to hang around with people who are sick with respiratory viruses. Use a clean room humidifier, especially during sleeping hours, do not overheat your home during the cold months (cool moist air is healthier than hot dry air).  Do NOT sit around doing nothing.  Keep busy doing what you can do (at your own pace of course) and do NOT dwell on that you can no longer do. Depression can do more harm than COPD if you let it run your life.  One thing I have noticed with some people who have a chronic illness.....they get too much into themselves.  It doesn't just happen to people with resp problems either.  I would suggest that each day you do one thing for someone else....make a phone call, write a letter...visit...etc.  If you are "crafty"...make something....if you bake or cook....make something.  By the way, nutrition is very important for you.  Small, frequent, nutrious meals and snacks are needed.  Good luck!  You have some good quality life to live, do your best to live it!

Sure they do.  There is a difference between a "screen" personality and one's private life. One is for the camera & publicity--because it elicits interest.  That doesn't mean that actors really live like their "screen images".

I'm wondering of getting a good PC, like: Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz;\nWindows xp, RAM 1 GB, Video Memory 128 MB, a 17" CRT monitor (not LCD!), pretty ususal speakers, mouse & keyboard. Can you tell me what should be my budget? \n[I'm asking because I'm going to buy 1 in NY, and the so called websites have so many different prices]

a decent PC with the most basic components can be found as low as $400USD but according to your specifications I'd be prepared to spend at least $1300USD if you're lucky to find a price. Dell allows for a lot of custamization they have a very reasonable payment plan ($20-$40USD a month) and have decent technical support allow for later upgrades that are relatively easy to do yourself (I installed a CD-RW drive myself with very little hassle and spent under $30)\n\nPS: what country you from?

My breasts have been itching a lot lately. I thought it was because of a new bra that I hadn't washed yet. But I washed it and they still itch, with any bra on. Also they even itch when I am not wearing a bra. I was just wondering if this was normal? Or if it isn't what is it a sign/symptom of?

Your bra might be too tight. Or, the material might be irritating your skin. Is your new bra made out of a material unlike your other bras that don't give you trouble?

I know that, before, women were supposed to cross their ankles when they sat. Now women usually plop one leg on top of the other when they sit. Does anyone know who or what started this change?

When women wore very tight skirts which were below the knee, they were unable to cross their legs, so they only crossed their ankles to relax.  Now women wear slacks, jeans and shorter skirts that do allow for leg crossing, so that's the preferred stance.  It's comfortable - even if sometimes a little too showy.


He flifts w/ me sometimes but then again sometimes it seems like he ignores me! but I do like him alot!!!! what should I do?

Yes, please know what your intentions are before you do this though. If he is a friend, then you do not want to ruin the relationship. Are you only interested in a one time fling and still be friends? Do you want a meaningful relationship with commitment? Figure this out first and then go in with a open mind and hear out your suitor. Do be afraid to find that he wants to only be friends. Friends have more fun and are more intimate when there atracted to one another but know it will never go beyond that point...

yes and no, any site can be hacked, a secure site with have the secure symbol enguaged on your browser, just be leery of lesser known sites as those are the ones to be leery of when giving out credit card numbers, the major vendors are safe, but if shopping for stuff and you feel unconfortable with a given site then don't use them. all good sites will have real contact info that you can use to contact them.

Most continents seem to stand alone as a unique body or land mass whereas Europe and Asia seem to share one general land mass. So why are Europe and Asia separated and what are the boundaries?

The above answer is correct: it has more to do with geology.  Also, Europe invented the map, so they got to do whatever they wanted with it.  The boundaries of Europe extend from Portugal north to Iceland, then around the Scandinavian countries to the Ural Mountians in Russia, south and west around the boundaries of Ukraine to Istanbul, Turkey, and back.


Test this algorithm using the main program shown below.\n\nint main()\n{  \n   int u = 2;\n   int v = 3;\n   int w = 4;\n   int x = 1;\n   sort2(u, v);\n   cout << "After applying sort2, u = " << u << " and v = " << v << "\n";\n   sort2(w, x);\n   cout << "After applying sort2, w = " << w << " and x = " << x << "\n";\n   return 0;\n}

Assuming this is in C, this is an impossible problem given the main program you provided, because you're passing in the parameters by value rather than by reference.  So any changes you make to those values inside the function will disappear once you return to the main context.\n\nIf you're allowed to change the main program to use pointers, you could do this:\n\nvoid sort2 (int *a, int *b) {\n  int tmp;\n\n  if (*a > *b) {\n   tmp = *a;\n   *a = *b;\n   *b = tmp;\n  }\n}\n\nGiven your main program, you'd call it like this:\n  sort2(&u, &v);\n\nBut it may be that this assignment was given to you specifically to demonstrate that you can't change the value of variables that you pass in by value).

I feel that if the person didn't enjoy the experince..\nit shouldn't be counted and therefore still a virgin..\nI think it matter most what is in the heart and feelings..

Virginity is not a matter of mind. It is a physical condition. \n\nLets say a young girl is forced to prostituion (could be any reason which is out of her control). Then is she still a virgin? If that is so, then all most all prostitues would call themselves virgins. But lets not undermine a rape victim with a prostitute. This is just an analogy.\n\nMind my being so blunt and disagreeing with your point of view.

I have no experience with Ethiopian men, but I do with men from Togo and Nigeria. If you have ever walked around in the market you will know how horny these guys are. It seems to be a cultural thing.

When you go to get help from a college, don't tell them that you lied to get your job.  They may contact your employer and you can get fired.  Becareful.

My teacher was asking this question when we were studying English, and when I told her my answer, she said it was not a good one. So what is a good answer to the meaning of friends?

There is a very broad range of friendships.  Some people are friends just on the surface.  You don't really know them deep down, or what their favorite ice cream is, or even their last name.. but when you see them at the grocery store you stop and say hi and ask how they're doing.\n\nAnother type of friend is one that's in the same circle as your friends but you're not the best of friends.  You always see them when you go out with your friends, to parties, movies, whatever... but you don't ever call them to see what's up.\n\nBest friends - the kind that change every few years are wonderful to have.  Sometimes these friends just drift apart because of changing perceptions but you are always grateful that you were once friends.  These friends are close to TRUE friends, but you never lose those true friends.\n\nThe best of all friends is the true friend.  The one that is with you thick and thin.  This is the kind of friend that will stick up for you even when they think you're wrong.  This is a friend that will keep all secrets.. that will make you soup when you're sick.  You might even marry your true friend one day.  The married best friends are the best of all!  According to this friend you can do no harm to them and you wouldn't think of harming them.  These friends are very hard to come by and maybe you will only have a couple of these in a lifetime, but they're the best of the best.

Like how many pounds per week is safe to lose isnt it 2? Im dieting and exercising and its not working fast enough. And i only have until march 22nd. I just started 4 days ago on my diet and exercise. I know the exercising is working though b/c i can feel it in my muscles.

Loosing an average of 5 pounds a week is not healthy. You are correct, the recommendation is 1-2 pounds a week. Watch your diet and get more exercise and you will loose weight, but you don't want to loose too much too fast. Good luck with your weight loss program. Stay Healthy!


i need help in school for paramedic understanding cardiac rhythms and the pharmacology of it all.

Thing that helped me...\n"Be comfortable being uncomfortable"\n\nIf all else fails, we (as paramedics) don't HAVE to be able to interpret EVERY rhythem.  If all else fails, all we have to do is tell Medical Control what the rhythem is doing.  Be able to say if their's elevated ST's, say if the P wave is always absent.  You WILL run into rhythems that you wont have a clue what is going on!!  Even once out of school you can't let that wig you out.  Go with what you can, treat the patient and not the monitor.  \n\nKnow the RULES of the majority of the rhythems and then you build off of those.


I received a ticket from a police office in Ohio.  The court summons date was mistakenly noted as 2/20/2006 on the ticket.  2/20 is Presidents day and the court is closed.  Will the ticket automatically be dismissed?

No.  It will not be dismissed.  You go to court on Tuesday morning and get it sorted out.  If you don't, the court could suspend your driver's license for failure to appear.  When you are in court, you can ask the judge to dismiss the ticket.


Recently someone said, "You should know that John's Gospel was the last one written and that John never uses the word repentance once. In fact John 20:31 says, But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." This was an attempt to minimize the necessity of repentance in the matter of salvation. I've heard the, "John's Gospel" argument, worded slightly different, on several occasions. Each time it has been a way of silencing the preaching of Repentance to the lost. In the space I have I would never try to tackle the whole issue but I would like to dispel this lame argument. This is an argument of silence, which says, "Because repentance is not in the Gospel of John, it is not legitimate to preach repentance." I don't think those who use this argument realize what its consistent application produces. \n\nFirst note, the word faith is used some 340 times in the New Testament, but *never once* is it used in John's Gospel. Therefore faith goes out of the window with the consistent use of this argument. John in his Gospel never uses one of the terms used for hell (Gehenna, Tartarus, and Hades). So preaching hell-fire is out. He says, "The Word was made flesh," but he does not even mentions the virgin birth! Should we stop preaching on the Virgin Birth while we are giving up every subject John's Gospel didn't deal with? There is no mention the Gethsemane agony. Do we leave that out too? \n\nThere are at least a dozen vital things, mentioned by the other Gospels, that John omits. John says he is writing "that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God." John's gospel is to make clear that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. In the very first verse we read: "In the beginning was the Word [eternity], and the Word was with God [equality], and the Word was God [deity]." John clearly accomplishes what he set out to do. \n\nMatthew uses repent or a derivative 11 times. Mark uses repent or a derivative 4 times. Luke uses repent or one of its derivatives 13 times. Does John gospel cancel out the synoptic gospels? In John's last message, The Revelation, he used the word repent seven times. Does this cancel out the Gospel of John since it came latter? I trow not! \n\nMany may remember the name Mickey Cohen, he was a famous gangster of the post war era. One night Cohen attended an evangelistic meeting and seemed to be interested. Realizing what a dramatic impact his conversion could have on the wold, many Christian leaders began visiting him. After one long night session, he was urged to open the door and let Christ in, based on Revelation 3:20. Cohen responded. He made a Decision! \n\nMonths passed, people saw NO CHANGE in his life of Crime. When confronted, he responded that no one had told him he would have to give up his work or his friends. After all, there were Christian Football players, Christian Cowboys, Christian Politicians; why not a Christian Gangster? It was only then that he was confronted with REPENTANCE! At that point, he wanted nothing to do with Christianity! I wonder how many are like that today? They want heaven! The don't sure don't want hell! They also want to live the way THEY want to live. They don't want to turn from all things they have placed before God! \n\nIn this sin filled world, men and women, boy and girls, need to understand why the Lord Jesus Christ came, Luke 5:32, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Thank God he is not slack concerning His promises as some men count slackness, but is long suffering, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE! In these last days listen to Acts 17:30, "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:" People need to repent as much today as t

repentance means turning away from sin.  If a person believes everything that they do is alright, then what is there to repent from?\n\nRepentance means giving up a sin...not many people want to do that anymore.

I'm wondering if I should learn Portuguese after Spanish. Do many Brazilians come here?

Along with Spanish, Portuguese is one of the top ten most spoken languages in the world.  French is at the end of the list with Portuguese at number eight.\n\nYes, portuguese is an incredible language.  If you are a native English speaker with knowledge of Spanish, then you are fine tuned for picking up Portuguese and swallowing it whole!!!\n\nI love portuguese, there are various portuguese communities in the US (New Jersey for example), and yes Brazil is South America's largest and most economically promising country.  They are projected to be increasing for awhile.\n\nBrazilians are such incredibly warm people, you'll have a great time learning Portuguese\n\nIn high school there are always Brazilian exchange students.  the poor brazilians would love to come to US, but it is such a long way.  there certainly won't be an influx of Brazilians comparable to the mexican influx, but still, if you like travel and languages and think you might find yourself in south america or africa then portuguese is the way to go.
