Gothic is just a label.  There are nice goths and mean ones, just like every other group.  Most of the ones I know are nice.\n\nYes, you can be gothic an believe in God.  I know a couple of Christian goths, including a very devout Catholic.


When 30.8 g of calcium and 6.9 g of water are reacted according to the following equation, \nCa (s) + 2 H2O (l) ----> Ca(OH)2 (s) + H2 (g) \nhow much heat (in kJ) is transferred?

Find the values of heat of formation (delta H)of each molecule and follow this equation\nyour answer = Ca(OH)2 + H2 - Ca - 2(H2)


You shouldn't care. Not caring just shows you are strong as a person and don't need anyone to tell you that you are or to tell you that you're not, you know you better than anyone, and can make up your own mind. Be yourself if they don't like you then you don't need them. If they do they are worth keeping around. (and maybe even listening to what they do have to say about you) If they like you they will be honest with you and if its a true friendship then it won't bother you.

Do you expect something drastic to happen in 2012?

The predictions of the Mayan Calendar have been accurate, and the changes predicted are already happening if you know what you look for. The end of the Mayan Calendar is not the end of the world but the end up an age and a birth into a new one. It's the crumbling of old forms and institutions, replaced by more egalitarian ones..the weakening of the dominance of the West and the left brain/masculine, and the strengthening of the East, the right brain and the "feminine"... it's also the birth of a more spiritually attuned age. The signs of this shift are everywhere, but certain people are focused more on what is going wrong.


sites deleted in my computer and cookies deleted?


They tell me they have plans with other people and that I'm not invited. I don't know what to do. I sometimes think they aren't my friends. I am told a lot that I let them walk all over me. I am there for them when they need me but when I need them they aren't around, does that mean that I let them walk all over me?

You need to work on finding some friends because you're right to realize that these are not friends.


From the Union of Concerned Scientists website:\n\nOn August 8, President Bush signed the comprehensive energy bill into law. Included were new tax credits for advanced vehicle technologies ranging from $250 to $3,400 depending on the vehicle's level of fuel economy improvement. For a limited time, quality hybrids like the Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota Prius or Ford Escape Hybrid will qualify for tax credits in the range of $1,700-$3,150. The tax credits will be available beginning on January 1, 2006 and will be available through December 31, 2010, though they will expire earlier for the most popular hybrids. The full tax credits will be available until a manufacturer reaches 60,000 vehicles sold (60,000 for Toyota, 60,000 for Ford, etc.). Once a manufacturer has sold 60,000 vehicles, a one-year "phase out" will begin after the next complete calendar quarter; 50% of the credit will be available for that manufacturer's hybrids in the first two quarters of the phaseout period and 25% in the final two quarters. \n\nUCS estimates the following credits for each hybrid vehicle currently sold:\n\nHEV Model Emissions Rating Tax Credit\n2005-2006 Toyota Prius Bin 3 $3,150\n2005 Honda Insight (automatic) Bin 5 $1,450\n2005 Honda Insight (manual) Bin 9 $0\n2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (automatic) Bin 2 $1,700\n2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (manual 5-speed) Bin 2 $1,700\n2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (lean burn, automatic) Bin 9 $0\n2005 Honda Civic Hybrid (lean burn, manual 5-speed) Bin 9 $0\n2006 Honda Civic Hybrid Bin 2 $2,100\n2005 Honda Accord Hybrid Bin 5 $650\n2005 Ford Escape Hybrid (front wheel drive) Bin 4 $2,600\n2005 Ford Escape Hybrid (four wheel drive) Bin 4 $1,950\n2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid (four wheel drive) Bin 5 $1,950\n2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid (front wheel drive) Bin 3 $1,950\n2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid (four wheel drive) Bin 3 $2,200\n2006 Lexus RX-400h (four wheel drive) Bin 3 $2,200\n\nDomestic hybrid extended tax credit (bill). Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) has introduced H.R. 4458, the 'American Hybrid Tax Credit Act of 2005.' The bill would give an additional $3,000 tax credit over and above the currently enacted federal tax credits for "a new qualified hybrid motor vehicle which is assembled in the United States." The total tax credit would be capped at $6,000. This would currently apply to the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner. Models expected to be released in 2006 that would qualify for this extended credit would be the Toyota Camry Hybrid (built in Kentucky) and the Nissan Altima Hybrid (built in Tennessee). Referred to the Ways and Means Committee 12/7/05.\n\nMassachusetts\n\nEmissions and Maintenance Inspection Program Exemption (bill): SB 1380 allows exemptions from the emissions and maintenance inspection programs for any qualified hybrid motor vehicle or clean alternative fuel if such vehicle obtains a rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of at least 50 miles per gallon during city fuel economy tests unless remote sensing devices indicate the hybrid vehicle or clean alternative fuel vehicle may not meet current emissions standards.\nIntroduced 3/22/05 -- pending.\n\nPromotion of Alternative Fuels and Hybrid vehicles (bill): S.B. 2176. For the years 2006-2010, individuals that purchase a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle, which can be powered by ethanol, low-sulfur diesel, compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and hydrogen will register for a special placard and receive a number of incentives, including: an income tax deduction of $2000; a waiver for the initial $27.50 application fee for the Fast Lane Transponder; right to travel in HOV lanes regardless of passengers; discounts or free parking in municipalities which choose to participate.\n\nThe bill will require that five percent of all new state agency "fleet vehicles" be hybrids or run on alternative fuel, with 50 percent of the state fleet reliant on alternative fuels by 2010.

My Boyfriend is in Iraq and I wanted some Valentines day gift ideas. PLEASE HELP

From a previous military wife the best things that you can get him are things that remind him of home and of you, (ex: favorite candy, cds, phone cards to call home, pictures of you, his family, the both of you, a home made card from you, lots of letters to let him know just how much that he is missed at home and how much you care for him. Remember that he is far from home and with no one there and he would appreciate anything that will remind him of home, and of his love that is waiting on him. The small things are what count and mean the most. Good luck and keep in touch with him. Best of luck to the both of you and our thoughts and prayers are with him and you, thank him for all that he is doing, from a prior military family who knows what it is like. Thank him for us - Missouri

i dont know either maybe he isnt ready to really say it to you.he might also have things to worry about,but i know for sure that he doesnt want to lose you,because he is not saying it.u are proably right he does love you,might be to nervous to say it.im sorry that he is not saying it to you.maybe you should talk to him.dont rush him on talking to you,though.good luck!


I am creating a wall poster--my first "business" endeavor--and am wondering the best place to start researching how to protect myself with copyright and such.

The copyright office has good info online.  As soon as you create it, you own the copyright in the poster, but you will probably want to register the poster in order to gain full protections (and as a way of demonstrating when you created it.)

Normally I change my toothbrush every 3 months.  However, I've recently gotten over a cold and it's not time to change yet.  Will running hot water over my toothbrush get rid of the cold germs or not?

Once you are over the cold, dispose of the toothbrush. Also, you should change your toothbrush frequently during cold and flu season to keep from getting sick.

What traits do women find attractive? Does the amount of money or the education a man has completed make any difference in a decision to pursue a relationship? What about power? What about personality? How much does physical attraction play in the decision?

DEFINTELY, women will always seek a man with money, power of fame, than a man who is good looking, they prefer it all, but may not get it all, after all they want a certain level of lifestyle. The hotter the women, the more she KNOWS she can get in terms of financial security, that is her cash trade value, if she is less attractive, she must either get a degree and earn more money, or marry whomever she can be with. Men marry what they can afford, if you are plumber, you are not going to be getting the Pam Anderson's of the world, but if you are rich or famous ( or both ) then any hot women will be wanting for you.\n\nWomen who say money does not matter are more than likely not a 9 ro 10, but a 4 to 5, they know their place on the ladder rung of life.


e.g. computers powered by gas, and how would it work.

Well it it quite difficult imagine a computer running on gas, but it may come due to innovation technology. It is quite practical that whatever the source eg. turbines or heat or solar receptors, the energy "generated" is always converted into electricity which is a standard form used. Now if you want to say that is electricity was'nt there what would we have done, well we would have worked something out. A gas powered land mower is quite practical. Why not a computer for that matter. \n\nAll the best.


My boss would like to know why there is air. We want the awnser before she hits the door. \n\nCome on folks, bust out the science.

The air as we know it was formed when plants began cracking carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Before that, the atmosphere which had evaporated from the molten rock earth was after the collision with what became the moon contained mainly carbon dioxide and nitrogen.\n\nAir is a mixture of gases which are too light to form liquids or solids at surface temperature and too heavy to escape earth's gravity. Main components are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (20%) and argon (1%). The rest are a range of other molecules as well as some solids or liquids suspended in small particles.

Im a man how can i make myself pregnant?

As of this minute, you can't.  There is at least one case of a child growing outside the womb (extrauterine pregnancy), but unfortunately, I can't find the web page to prove it.  However, you could undergo a complete sex change to become a female.  Some male-to-female trangendered persons are able to be given ovaries and a uterus so that they actually ovulate and mentruate!  Stick around; I'm sure in a few years, science will have made advances to the point that a couple can decide which partner should carry the pregnancy to term.


With Windows XP-sp2 installed on a Xeon 3Ghz with 3GB of RAM, I frequently run into an issue where apps will not open when I have many apps already running.  Once I close a few windows, then I can open some new ones.  When this occurs I usually have about 1.5-1.9GB of memory available.  It makes me wonder whether there is a memory leak or memory limit in Windows XP.

There may be some valuble information on this page, especially at the bottom of the page.  Good reading for your situation. But check the seating of your ram too.\nhttp://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.php\nOther thoughts...  Is your computer a server whether peer to peer or dedicated?\nOr, could you have a defective ram chip? In other words, you may detect the memory, but it is not being accessed.  this could be a mother board thing or the memory. Make sure it is COMPLETELY seated in the slot, and see if you continue to have problems.  \n\nAgain, if you work with photo software, where you are opening several photos ( I mean several ) then that could be tying up your memory.  But I am leaning towards a bad chip or a mis-seated chip.  Just another option to check.\n\n\nYou may have a virus, actually.  If you see your resources slowly being used up over time, then you probably do.\nOF course, this is a possible long answer.  But you could try a system restore (reversible),  or scan for viruses, either online or with your current installed one.\nOr, check your virtual memory settings.  Maybe you need to raise them.  And make sure your memory is allocated to programs instead of "background services".\nAlso it is possible that Windows is "reserving" memory for the programs you open, hence tying up memory for the possible resources needed to run the specific program.  If you use memory intensive programs, this is an issue, even with 3gigs, although it should not happen too much, unless you are working with HUGE files.

I went to school and got my associates degree.  Then I became a stay at home mom for a few years, now I want to go find a job but it seems that everywhere you need to have work experience as well as an education.  I can't afford to go back to school just yet, and i don't really want to start at a minimum wage job.  I would really want to get into social work or a criminal justice field where should I start?

Go to the college that you graduated from, check to see if they have an alumni job placement service.\nThe college I work at does, and often employers are looking for graduates and understand that the experience isn't there yet.  Good Luck


I need the biography of that person for my son assigment.

Way to make sure your son gets a good education.  How are you doing with his geography homework?


my parents have been divorced for 11 years now, and ive been living with my mom, my dad just asked me to live with him. hes been waiting for 5 years to do this and before i started highschool i would have said yes but now he lives in spain, so i dont know what to tell him.

He may cry but if it's the right thing for you to stay here then your just going to have to tell him.  Make sure he knows that it isn't that you don't love him it's just the right thing to do.  \n\nIt's going to hurt no matter what but life isn't about avoiding hurts it about facing them and getting through them.

I am buying a new computer...how do i transfer all my files on to a cd so when i get my new comp i can start with what i left off?  Music...pics..?

If you have windows XP and a CD writer (usually has CDR written on the drive on the front of your computer), then open up "my computer" and click the CD drive (has a CD icon).  Then find the folder where your music & pics are stored.  You can click and drag your music & pictures to your CD drive and then click "burn CD".  A CD can only hold so much though so it might take a lot of CDs.\n\nHave you considered what you're going to do with your Internet favorites.. old e-mail in Outlook express?  You might want to contact Geek Squad or someone like that to help move your old data off.  Don't forget your desktop files too.  It shouldn't take more than an hour or two to move all e-mail, etc off so it shouldn't be too expensive.


Anecdotally, it seems that more educated people are less likely to believe in God. Is this true? Is there empirical evidence (statistical studies) that prove or disprove this?

I'm asuming the Y stands for yen. But 150,000?! Why such big numbers? How much do the people get paid a year ten million yen??

Land in Japan is expensive because there is a scarcity of land and Japan is one of the most expensive countries in the world.\nIn fact, that sum is pretty cheap for an apartment. For the most of us who are used to living in large dwelling spaces, a typical Japanese dwelling is smaller than our whole living room alone, and for those with huge bathrooms, expect a Japanese bathroom to around the size of your closet, just a little larger.\nHowever, it doesn't change the fact that the Japanese have one of the highest living standards in the world, and probably the most technological country on the planet. They had nation wide 3G when we were still playing snake on our non-colour Nokia phones.\nit is pretty funny that they have such a large currency. If you want something more shocking, have a look at Indonesia. If you're always wanted to be a billionaire, go to Indonesia. A few hundred U.S bucks is already several millions of rupiah.\nImagine going to a country and paying 500 million for a skirt or a 3 course meal at a decent restuarant. Or 20 million for a bottle of drinking water.\nWell, look no further than Indonesia, where everyone is a billionaire because of their ridiculously inflated currency.\nIt makes you wonder, Gee, how much do they earn a year? Well, if you need to know, while some of Asia's richest people are from Indonesia (and mostly of Chinese descent, they run more tha 80% of the entire Indonesia economy.), the rest of them are paid less than that bottle of drinking water you buy in the U.S (Say U.S$1 - 5) per day.


i'm a student in nigerian i which to have a nice n serious wife


I was told that long hair on a girl is sexy, but that short hair is cute. That was an opinion...so what do most guys prefer? Long, or Short....while were on that subject, Blone, or Brunette?

Color is preferance but length is diffrent story Long by far is more youthfull and very sexy. Guys have short hair girls have long. Alot of weman in the work force cut there hair short to try and get past gender bias, that doesnt help b/c hair doesnt change your sex. It does say alot about how you feel about yourself as a woman. IE Respect, Show's how much time you spend on getting yourself ready for the people you interact, care, and work for not that you care for the people you work with. You get the idea. Shows repect for others in being primpd for the day. The point comes down to respect for the norms of social society.


Some fundamentalist Muslims believe that making friends with the Kafir is prohibited in Islam. They often use the following Quranic verse as proof. "And if any among you takes them [the Jews and Christians] as helpers and protectors, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are wrongdoing" (al-Maida 51). References : http://www.answers.com/topic/kafir-2\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/

As in all religions there are some that believe certain things and others that see it a different way. Islam is not a hate oriented religion at all, they just have some hateful offspring.  Same goes with all the other religions.

do you get more points in here when you ask or answer questions?

Well they have the basic break down there for you.. here's a little more info though...\n\nWhen you ask a question it cost 2 points from you, but you get 2 points when you decide who gave you the best answer, and you also get 2 points if you decide to call a vote for others to choose which answer was best. \n\nWhen you answer a question you earn 2 points, just for participating, and if your answer is chosen as best answer, you recieve 10 points, and anyone looking at your answer in "resolved questions" can give you a thumbs up or down depending on what they think of your answer, everytime you get a thumbs up you get another point.


Well where im from my neighborhood is not nice and you have to be mean to survive there.  Well now im in washington dc and i still find myself in that same mentality. I Curse entirely too much and i am also cocky.  I watch tv and my favorite show is Real World because everyone is always fighting but then there is always this one person that tries to make peace.  How do i change into a nice person like that?

Not to sound crass, but get educated, frequent the library, and think for yourself.  Meter what you say, and make sure to think things through before acting.  At first, it will seem like you're being excessively cautious, but that often is what it takes until you get used to how to resolve situations peacefully.  Given how many wars are going on right now, you're not alone in your struggle to think clearly, but you've definitely made the right choice.

Http://silverseed.blogspot.com\n\nEnlistments are way down. Troop strength is at a dangerously low level. We need to start drafting 18-25 year olds.

Sorry Jack, I love my country but I am not going to let my only son, whom I was told I would never have, to enlist in the military. I think that since he is the only son, they won't take him anyway. Besides how mature and responsible are 18-25 year olds. If they draft, they should take the 30-40 year olds. They have more sense.I am against the war in Iraq but if we need to go to war, I think we should send all the criminals who are in prison instead of using our tax money to feed them mf.

I can not believe that God is real anymore if he loves us so much that he gave us jesus then why in the heck would he not talk to us? I dont mean signs either I mean in a clear voice someone can hear!

o.k. this is really personal so please have respect. My mom was sick for a year and a half. Finally after her long struggle their was nothing more that the doctor's could do. During her last few weeks here on this earth, it became really important for me to hold her hand. I wished that if I could hold her hand and give up everything that I loved to do or ever wanted to do that somehow she wouldn't have to leave me. But reality as usual sunk in, and I decided that I wanted to hold her hand as Jesus took her to heaven. so Iprayed and asked God to let me be able to be with her as she died and to let me be able to hold her hand. A few days later we came into the hospitol in the morning to visit her, but she had taken a turn for the worse over night and they said she maybe had the rest of the day to live. Aout a half hour laterthings really went down hill. i was sitting in a chair at the end of her bed, when all of a sudden I heard someone ( not out loud for everyone to hear, but a voice none the less) telling me that i should go hold her hand. I felt as if someone was pulling at me trying to get me to move. I hesitated because someone was standing in the way. A moment later that person moved. I continued to hear that voice urging me to move and that fealing of someone pulling on me. I got up and held her hand. Aouple of minutes later she was gone. Because God loves me and knew how much this would mean to me, and it still means so much to me, He made sure that I was there at that moment, and He told me in His own way that that was the moment I needed to be holding her hand. Like I said, This is personal. This really happened so please have respect.


You automatically get 100 points when you start using it.  Then afterwards they have a point break down system.  If you've answered, asked or rated any questions you've already accumulated your first 33 points.


dear friends, i would like to know what are the best point of sale systems for restaurants..\ni am currently located in lebanon...\nofcourse both cost and quality are important..\n\nCheers,\nDan

Hello Dan\n\nIf both cost and quality are important i would definitely recommend BIMPOS it's really great, and the cheapest in the lebanese market. I recommended it for a couple of friends, and am glad to recommend it to you... \n\np.s. point of sale system, purchasing, Stock and Inventory, Production, Table Management, Delivery, Payroll... all are included!!\n\nhere's the company's website if you're interested...\nhttp://www.bimsolutions.biz\n\nBest Regards and Good Luck\nJohn

i know i asked this(Q) in a similair scenario, but ima bit paranoid that the gov may want to take  over our one thing in life that is fun:internet. no, i have nothing to hide, please feds scan my acct. my bad-i over-react sometimes. u think i wasted my 2 points with this (Q)?

maybe you are misreading the 4th ammendment..\n\nit applies to personal property.. not cyberspace.\n\n>>if you want to be techincal about it.. who owns the communication satillites that you access the web from?\n>> i would relax if i were you.. if you are not writing emails to terroists then you have nothing to fear but fear itself.. \n\n>>another situation where 4th ammendment doesnt apply.. searching of vehicles.. many police jurisdictions do not require your consent to search your vehicle.. why?.. because you are on a publicly owned road or highway.. \n\nyou didnt waste 2 points.. its a legitamate question.. and i hope my answer helps..


Is superstition real?? If you have plans and tell a few dear people (like family or good friends) about it, do you think those plans will fall through? Is there a negative force that prevents people from progressing?

definitely not. the reason why some of these superstions seems to be true is because people believe on it. when people start to believe on something, they actually based their actions and act according to what they believe unconciously. and when something happened according to the superstition, they usually explain things the way they believe on it.

The book was about a boy named Dave.\nThe book has to do with abuse.\nThe main character was stabbed.\nThe mother was an alcholic.\n\n\nThe biggest clue, IT\nWhat is the title of the book?

Both of the twins wear identical clothes , one of them fires in the air and hands the gun over to the other who shoots the victim in broad daylight with many witnesses. They walk over to the nearest cop and give themselves up. How do the cops determine who pulled the trigger? (both will have gunpowder residue , no witness will be able to point the right one out)

In your particular example, as other people have mentioned, the two of you would obviously have to have worked out the plan beforehand, meaning that you both conspired to kill someone, meaning that both of you would be convicted of conspiracy AND murder.\n\nWhat you would need to do to pull the identical twin deal is commit a crime that could only be committed by one person while the other twin had no verifiable allibi at the time. Each twin could claim the other did it, introducing reasonable doubt.


I've been looking for an antenna to use with my laptop to get better reception from a wireless router, but the only ones I can find have to be attached to the router and not the computer.  Is there any kind of antenna that can be used to get better signal strength to my laptop?

If the wireless card is internal, your stuck, unless the manufacturer has a provision for an external antnna. If your using a PCMICIA wireless card, choose a new card like the Proxim, or Seano. Theses cards have a provision for an external antenna. Additionaly, to a certain extent everything has to be equal, i.e., if the Router has a 'huge' antenna-It makes no difference. The Laptop can 'here' it, but can't talk back.

I feel lonely and depressed about how I feel

The first thing you need to do is feel good about yourself. Get out do some mild to moderate exercising, get your hair and nails done, etc. Pamper yourself. Men like a clean, confident, healthy looking woman. \n\nNext find a place to meet a guy...I don't suggest bars. Oddly enough my wife and I met online. (There are some real freaks online so this can be discouraging.) Get a puppy and take it to the park. Dogs are good conversation starters and you would rather meet a guy thats doing outdoors stuff than one that sits around the house all day. \n\nWhatever you do don't act desperate. Just do your thing. If you see a guy that does something for you give him the confident "hey baby" look. See if he goes for it. \n\nGood luck!!


An arrow is shot vertically upward. Three seconds later, it is at a height of 35m. \nWhat was the initial speed of the arrow? \nHow long is the arrow in flight from launch to returning to the initial height? (Assume the arrow falls vertically downward.)

Technically that question is impossible to answer.  It depends on any wind that was present, the atmospheric pressure, any air resistance, etc.

i dont get it.. they have the worst smelling food and they smell horrible and they say we are trashy?

The french hate everybody because they are so insecure with their own little failure of a country. Their culture is dieing so they legislate the amount of outside films that come in their country. The short answer is that are jealous of the rest of the world,


I think this reveals much about what it will be like in Heaven, they're will be children and animals. What are your thoughts on this?\nIsaiah 11:6-9

I agree.  I have a multi-handicapped daughter who was transported to heaven in a dream.  She saw lions and lambs.  children,  Bright blue sky (but no sun) all kinds of trees growing side by side.  and a Man, walking with her.  yea,  i believe that this is a vision of heaven.


I have a hard time deciding what to keep and what to toss!! I hear this can be a "sickness"...altho I am not extreme, I do keep some stuff that I shouldn't...Anyone have a solution to this mind boggling dilema?

Oh, I am right there with you! LOL There is only one way to tackle this monster of a "sickness" and it all has to do with mind set. \n\nThis is what I did: Every year I go on vacation to the same place, my own little paradise, that I would love to move to one day. Well, one year funds were low, so it looked like I wasn't going to be able to pull it off. \n\nThen I started looking around at all the clutter in my house and thought, surely someone must want these things, someone must have the same interests.\n\nSo, I went through my things and was very realistic with myself. If it was just something that casually held my interest but I hadn't used it in say 3 months, to the sell pile it went.\n\nI took my books, movies and music on over to half.com and made a killing on them, just for the sheer number of things I had. Everything else I put on online auctions, sometimes in lots to make it easier on myself.\n\nYou could also have a yard sale or buy a table at a community flea market. \n\nIf you don't feel it's something you can get money for, you can post it on freecycle.org and some who is in need of your items but may not be able to afford them, can benefit.\n\nTHE MAIN KEY: Sit down and set a date, say sometime this summer or late spring. Think of a place you want to visit, even if just a weekend trip. Or think of some larger priced item that you have wanted to buy for yourself, but couldn't see spending the money on. Find pictures of these things, and put them on a piece of paper with your date.\n\nWhen parting with your stuff is hard, keep on looking at that. Realize that not only are you working real hard towards that goal, you are make your living space SO much more pleasant.\n\nI hope that helps you some.


Both me and my wife swing, we both think there is nothing wrong with it and believe our relationship is strong in everything we do. We always go together and never can get jealous of eachother cause we are both sharing. Do you think it is wrong or is it just strengthing our relationship with eachother?

I think it's great you two have such a close and trusting relationship. It's definitely not for every couple, but you are obviously not the only ones out there. Make sure both partners are comfortable and listen to one another.... Have at it, be careful of std's and such....Wow such trust you guys have.

In the c3 c4 region, on the left side ..with narrowing disks in between?

Depends on your symptoms and other findings. Herniated disks in and of themselves may or may not be clinically significant (studies have shown Disc abnormalities in 40-60% of aymptomatic subjects). Do you have pain? Radiating pain to an arm? Numbness, tingling, or weakness?\n\nIf you have pain only or pain and mild to moderate arm pain or numbness, with no weakness or other abnormalities, then physical therapy, chiropractic, and analgesics should do the trick, and the symptoms will probably improve over time. Make sure you follow your doctors' recommendations. \n\n(The above was not offerred as, nor should  be construed as specific medical advice or a substitute for examination by a physician or other health care provider.

He has worked on and off for companies that did not take taxes from his checks,And we never really had money at the end of the year to pay so basically he never filed .Also he had a few jobs in between those times that did take taxes out and we would have gotten money back but he was to afraid to file.This has been going on for about 14 years he really wants to come clean and straighten this out but he is afraid he will just open up a big can of worms(and jail)Help.

Get a TAX ATTORNEY!  They legally do not have to testify AGAINST your boyfriend due to client-attorney priveledge.  He then can discuss his options of restitution with the lawyer.  The IRS will look WAY more favorably with someone trying to work with them after coming out of the woodwork.  Make the contact with the lawyer, and DOCUMENT all meetings, times, dates, and topics of meetings, etc.\nAVOID going to anyone other than an attorney specializing in Tax Law!\n\nOr, just move to a country which has a no-extradition treaty with the U.S.\n\nMake up the mind sooner than later!


One day, three mathematicians, A, Sum, and Prod, were hanging out. \nA thought of two whole numbers x and y such that 1<x, 1<y, and xy<100.  \nIn secret, he told Sum their sum and Prod their product.\n(I.e., Sum knows what x+y is, and Prod knows what x*y is.)\n\nProd said: "I cannot know the numbers x and y." \nSum replied: "Hmmm, I knew you would not know the numbers."\nProd exclaimed: "Aha! Then I know the numbers x and y!"\nSum responded: "I see!  Then I know the numbers too!"  \n\nWhat are x and y?

We assume that Sum and Prod know what we know.\n\nFrom the rules, xy is not prime.\nFrom Prod's first statement, x and y are not both prime (although one of the two could be)\nFrom Sum's first statement we know that x+y is a sum none of whose possible components are both prime (x+y is not even), but from her last statement, it must have more than one possibility - this rules out any x+y > 36.\nThis shaves x+y down to 11,17,23,29, or 35.\n\nChecking 11, we see that if x=2 and y=9, Prod wouldn't be able to initially deduce the numbers from knowing xy = 18, thinking they could be 2,9 or 3,6. This solution runs into a problem when we realize that Sum could still be thinking that x,y could be 3,8.\n\nNow we have to exclude all the other possibilities. All the other numbers possible for x+y have multiple solutions except for x+y = 35\n\nAt first Sum is thinking 2*33=66 or 3*32=96. Either way Prod can't deduce on her own. Once Prod hears Sum's statement Prod is able to narrow it down. Prod could not have 66, or Prod would still think the Sum could be 2+33=35 or 6+11=17. Therefore Prod must have 96 allowing them both to deduce the numbers 3 and 32.


my  husband and i have been seperated for 5 months. he lives in cali. i live in Loisiana. his son was born 2 months ago which he was not there for. i beleive he's cheating on me but i don't have proof, just a gut feeling. have any of you been in this type of situation, should i divorce him, or give him time to grow up? i met a guy that i really like, but i'm still married, what do i do?

That all depends on you. Do you love him enough to wait for him to grow up? Unfortunately, some men never grow up--especially if they were not even there when their own child was born (unless there was a good excuse). I can't say for sure about your husband. Only you deep down know if he is worth waiting for. On one hand, you did take vows and you do have a son together. On the other hand, he cheated on you (gut feelings are almost always right), and he doesn't even see his own child. You technically shouldn't be seeing others while you are still married but if this person gives you the support you need then I don't see why you shouldn't. Do what you think...and I mean REALLY think would be the best for you and your son. Good Luck.

Can drugs be detected if you bleach your hair? Even if you cut your hair to a butch haircut and bleach it?

yes. they can take hair off your arms too. Plus they will conclude that you bleached and cut your hair to circumvent drug testing.


Ive heard is said many times just wanted to know if there was any research on this. Ive heard that a left handed person uses more of the right side of their brain which allows them to be more creative and neat... is this true?

Creativity is on the right side of the brain. Right-handed people use the left side of the brain, and left-handed people use the right side. If you don't believe that, I'm left-handed and I am very creative.

Why do men date fat women just to break up with them cause they are fat? I dated my bf for a year and he broke up with me cause I didn't fit the image of what he thought his gf should look like. I even lost wieght while we were dating.

A wise man one asked me, 'what is the perfect woman's body shape?' I didn't know of course, so he replied, 'the shape of the woman whom he loves'.\n\nPeople can be easily influenced by what their friends think, men as well as women. It seems to me that men want their friends to think highly of them, perhaps even jealous of them. One of the ways of doing this is to have a 'desirable' girlfriend. Unfortunately, (especially in the US it seems) men are very fixated on having a 'hot' woman, I suppose to make themselves to be seen as successful, or more desirable-\n\nIt's a pity that people can be so shallow, life is not about looks it's about having fun!\n\nSo, it sounds like this guy probably did like you, but then was influenced by others, and instead of being strong about it he succumbed to his own feelings of inadequacy.

There are two major pigments in humans: eumelanin (black) and phaeomelanin (yellow). For that matter, the same two pigments are present in every mammal, from mice to tigers, and can be combined to produce any color from white to red to yellow to brown to black. I'm not sure how baboons get blue muzzles, but I'm hard to think of any other examples  of mammalian coloration outside the red-yellow-black-white spectrum. Any inputs?

Oddly enough there are only two pigments in birds and amphibians two, exactly the same two pigments. Yet we see birds and frogs in every colour of the rainbow. So we really shouldn’t be surprised to see a few bright mammals.\n \nThe way that animals usually generate blue and green colours is by utilising fibres arranged in rows or grids to refract light. That allows the skin to scatter the short blue and green wavelengths back to the observer while absorbing the longer reds. In the case of the mandrill the skin contains rows of collagen fibres designed to achieve exactly that purpose.\n\nThe only other blue mammal I know of is the vervet monkey, which has bright blue testicles. You can see a picture of one in the link below.

I've heard from some people that Firefox is the best, but there are lots of things that only work on IE(Internet Explorer), and IE has always worked the best for me and I've used it all my life. What should I use?

Well dear there are really some strong reasons to support firefox first of all it is the one of most secure browser, spywares don't usually hijack its homepage at least i haven't heared yet anyone's firefox effected or hijacked by spywares etc. the proof of IE flop is its version 7 beta which proved and admitted by microsoft to be totally failed in security tests...So I will say FIREFOX because every good computer user is using firefox n alot of others are now coming towards firefox and soon it will become a standard browser...so use it leave IE...


When I bought Athlon processors I never really understood their naming convention.  I thought that when I bought an Athlon XP 1800+ I was getting a processor that can run at 1.8GHz, or if I bought a 2200+ it'll run at 2.2GHZ and so on.  However, that doesn't seem to be the case.  What do those numbers mean if it doesn't represent the frequency speed?

Those numbers represent how fast they are compared to a Pentium 4 processor.  First a little explanation is in order, AMD 64 and Athlon processors have more L1/L2 cache than comparable Pentium 4 processors in some cases but all AMD processors have faster data pathways and can process information more efficiently than a Pentium 4 processor.  So when for example when you see an AMD 64 4000+ running at 2.4GHz that does not mean a single thing as far as clock speed goes.  Intel is famous for milking the clock speed which is no longer the determinant when it comes to the performance of a processor.  Back to the AMD designations, the 4000+ (or any XXXX+) designation tells you that in this case with 4000+ it performs to the equivalent of a Pentium 4 running at 4GHz which Intel has been unable to produce, they top out at 3.8GHz.  So a 2700+ is the equivalent of a Pentium 4 at 2.7GHz, 3200+ is the equivalent of a Pentium 4 at 3.2GHz and so on.\n\nBut note that the lower end Sempron has the same designations of XXXX+ like a Sempron 3000+ but it is not being compared to a Pentium 4.  The Sempron 3000+ means it performs like an Intel Celeron clock at 3.0GHz.\n\nSo when you see the "+" designation on an Athlon it is being compared to a Pentium 4 and the "+" designation on a Sempron is being compared to a Celeron.\n\nIf you want a further explanation of why AMD processors can get by with slower clock speeds and still operate faster than Intel offerings, see these benchmarks over at Toms Hardware and note how all the AMD Athlon chips are at the top of the chart, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html


I received a set of monogrammed handkerchiefs for xmas - yay!  I'm curious to know whether the initial letter that is embroidered, should be from my first name, or last name?  \n\nSo if my name were John Smith, should the letter be "J", or "S"?\n\nIf you could answer in the following format, and include your country, that will help me judge whether it's a regional thing.\n\nIf you have a good explanation as to one over another, go ahead and leave it.\n\nExample:\nFirst - Peru\nor\nLast - Austria\n\nThanks!

The monogram should be from your last (or family) name.\n\nMy family is from Melton-Mowbray in England. Everything we have embroidered has the family name on it. If you are going to include your first initial, it should always be followed by your surname.\n\nI live in America, but my family is British.


What exercises target that specific area? I know about the dietary side, but there's still a pesky bit left there that I can't shake.

a few good exercises for you:\n1) when you are doing your crunches, twist. bring your right elbow to your left knee.\n2) hold a weight bar over your head (with only enough weight to make you focus on stability, not much) then, standing with feet shoulder width apart, bring the bar to your left side, then back up, then over to the right side. you are only moving your upper body side to side.\n3)the best excercise (hurts like a mofo) is the side plank. just like the normal plank, but turn to your side. lay on the floor and hold all body weight on your forearm and balance yourself on your forearm and foot. hold this for anywhere from 30sec-1min. i promise you will feel it! =)\n\nGood luck to you =)


Look it up in Google for an example. A fellow whose last name was "Ponzi" did the first one, back in the 1920's.\n\nBasically you promise people huge profits on some sort of investment and get their money. You pay your first "investors" back out of their own money. (take $100 each, wait a month, give each $50 back, tell them they will get $50 a month for the rest of their lives.) They tell two or more friends about you. You pay the next "dividend" out of the money left from the first wave plus the new cash from the second wave of investors, the second group tells all of THEIR friends, and so on. The trick is to leave town when there is a lot of cash in the account, before people start to question you.\n\nThe pyramid clubs in the 1980's and 1990's were the most recent example I can think of, but they crop up all the time.

The answer is no, unless it is Court Ordered. If the natural father has gone to court and filed a Petition for Custody and/or Visitation, the Court my grant the Petition with the DNA proof. In addition, the natural father may be liable for back and future child support, if so Ordered. Why didn't he sign the Birth Certificate?

I need to know some stuff about evoultion and creationism and why evoultion is not true if creationism is true.  Why is creationism true?

Neither creationism nor evolution can be proved 100% correct, but one proof of creationism is that the fossil record shows the sudden appearance of fossils (like an explosion of organisms- as explained in Genesis 1 with the six days of creation) instead of many "transitional forms" over millions and millions of years as evolution predicts. I don't know of any websites, but a book called "The Genesis Flood" was very helpful and also one called "Evolution: The Fossils Still Say No!" I happen to know this because I just had to do a paper on this very subject. Good luck!


It drives me nuts to read some of these posts and people don't use any periods or anything!  How the heck do you know when a sentence ends??  Sheesh... am I the only one that gets irritated with this??

It's sheer laziness for some.  So many people use email and IM clients that they revert to "chatspeak" whenever they are in front of the computer monitor.  The rest, I suspect, are barely literate.

I've been doing crunches, sit-ups the common exercise but i have to limit myself since i had c-section. I haven't try any diet pills because i have second thoughts about it.

I personally haven't had a baby, but cardio at the gym does wonders when you want to lose inches. Eliptical trainers will do it fast. I've lost lots of weight that way and I know others who have lost baby fat that way also. It's the fastest healthiest thing I know to do. Also if you do it regularly it gets easy and the results last.


i cheated on her once..she cheated on me once...we was strung out on crack and shit and things went downhill..things are different now..do we have a chance?

negative, if you both were strung out on crack and shit as it were, you both were probably cheating on each other for a bigger rock persay, and if both of you are off that shit, then when you two get back together, you're probably just gonna get back on the rock and ride it home.... so find yourself a nice little pothead to settle down with..... the blonde ones are freakier on pot

I'm 19 and haven't lived with my parents for over a year and just got married and thay still tell me what to do who I can have at my house and where I can go I love my fokes very much and don't want to hurt them can you give me info on how to talk to them. thanks

You say, Mom, Dad I'm 19 and married, please stop telling me what to do. If I need your help I'll ask for it.


I am a guy and I work from home.  Although I am good looking and take care of myself, I think most women find it disgusting and dont wanna date me or marry me.  I wanna marry, not just date.  I like working from home very much.

I don't see what the fact that you work from home would have on whether someone wanted to date you.  At least you are working and supporting yourself.  I think it would be fine.  Maybe they are worried that because you are there all the time, you would be up their a$$, who knows.  Perhaps the fact that you are so adamant about wanting to get married is a bit much for a new prospect to deal with.  You shouldn't ever rush into marriage.  To me, that sounds more like what the ladies problem would be.

My ribs don't show or anything but am i anorexic?

Check this height/weight chart. This is a guideline... keep in mind that there are always exceptions, but if you find that you are out of the range you may want to consider that you might be underweight.\n\nAlso ask yourself...  Do you hate to eat? Do you eat ice cream? Potato chips? Pizza? Anorexia is more than just being skinny. It is a way that people relate to food and eating. If you eat when you are hungry and don't worry about it, I would say you are just naturally skinny.\n\nWhen you start refusing to eat certain foods because they have too much fat, when you look at yourself in the mirror and think you look fat all the time, when you obsess about your figure... those are danger signs. If you don't really think about what you are eating, and don't ignore your hunger, you are probably just skinny.\n\nIts ok to be skinny unless you get there through unhealthy means.\n\nAnorexia - losing weight through not eating, \nand\nBulemia - throwing up after you eat\nare both unhealthy. If you think you have one of these tell your doctor. These can have severe consequences including interefering with your ability to have children later.


He asked this b 4 and has made it is if u don't he'll either go do it himslef or he'll leave u how do u handle it?

Wow. that is a tough one. It depends on your morals and beliefs. Is the marriage strong enough to handle the consequences? I once watched Dr. Phil and he said that is never a good idea. no matter who wants it or how long you've been married. What do you want? sometimes you have to stay true to yourself.


im looking for support from other parents or family members who lost a child.

Praise God that I have not lost a child, but I do want to encourage you, I was watching my distant mentor Oprah during a show about grieving the loss of a child, she had Dr. Phil on the show that day and he said something that I will never forget, he said, instead of mourning the death of your child, celebrate the life of your child because your child probably would want you to be sad.  That lady's daughter was 18 years old and he reminded her that she should celebrate the 18 years of life she had instead of the one day that caused her so much pain.  I don't know if you believe in God, but let me offer you this, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  Seek God during your time of grief and he will turn your tears of sorrow into tears of joy.  The joy of the lord is your strength, let his joy be the strength that gets you through each day!  I'm praying for you!


You are with your freinds but you feel alone and you think that you are not important for them.

Sounds like a case opf depression, or "the blues". It happens once in a while to everyone. If it is a constant state for you, talk to your doctor.


what can we do to stop all our jobs from going over to another counrty

there is nothing we can do, what happen is that company are finding people willing to work for less money abroad than here in the US, of course, they are looking to get more profits no matter what. did you know the average monthly salary for a teacher in other countries is only $300 a month. you go from there...and they can live with it, because their life style is cheaper than here in US. so think about a person working for a manufacuturer, it might be only $150 a month. while they are paying here like $400 a week, guess how much money they are loosing here in US.

There's the Super Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Pineapple Bowl ... why not "Super Plate?" Or "Super Mug?" That would fit the traditional alcohol consumption ...

Because the original games, such as the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Cotton Bowl, were played in bowl shaped stadiums that shared the names of the games (hence the Rose Bowl is played in the Rose Bowl, the Orange Bowl was originally played in the Orange Bowl and so on).\n\nSince then, trying to follow along with the traditon set by all of those early "Bowl" games, the word bowl has continued to be used for all big college football games and, later professional (remember, the NFL Super Bowl wasn't called that until Super Bowl III, before that being the AFL-NFL Championship Game).


What causes a seven year old boy to have cellulite on his abdomen?

Excessive eating?Usually children do not have that, unless they are over-eating.Take him to the doctor and get him on a proper diet.You should be watching him more carefully.Have him exercise as well.These days,parents let the tv be their babysitter,as well as video games.I would advise you to do something about it, because as we age, it gets much harder to lose the weight.Maybe you can get involved more with his activities to encourage him.I would start a.s.a.p., instead of pondering what to do.


The topic should relate to physics and involve a current area of research.  Personally I'm leaning toward quantum chaos or string theory.  Do you have any suggestions?

i have to agree with absynthian.  if they are in fact "physicists" then that means they have doctoral degrees in physics and telling them about quantum entanglement or string theory is going to be like giving a bunch of senators a talk about legislative procedure.  \n\nchaos theory, quantum entanglement/teleportation, and string theory are all huge and hot topics these days in physics, and they'll all have read plenty about them in physics today, nature and science, even if they aren't active researchers in that area.  you are going to bore their socks off if you get up there and start telling them about how strings are 11-dimensional objects, unless you have some really seriously deep and intuitive observations on the subject that you can share.\n\nhere is some good advice:  physicists are always interested in the historical development of their field.  the work of the big-name scientists - newton, galileo, maxwell - is well-known.  but there are a lot of physicists from the annals of history who led interesting lives and who often worked on subjects ahead of their time.  if you can find a research topic and show how someone from the 18th century studied a related phenomenon, and give it a historical twist, i think THAT would be a hit talk.\n\nanother thing might be to discuss some weird little topic from the back waters of physics.  people do research on all kinds of crazy stuff that's fun and interesting, but doesn't get much press.  for instance, nasa does a buttload of research into weird little problems - an example is that nobody understood why ketchup flows so slow at first, and then comes pouring out, until nasa figured it out.  that's one of many examples from this great page that might help you get started:\nhttp://exploration.nasa.gov/articles/index.html#fris\n\nanother way to get into this stuff is to just start searching around the web and looking at the research pages of faculty at various universities.  many of them will be working on hot topics - high-temperature superconductors or quantum information theory or photonics or something.  but you'll probably find one or two old guys at every place who are working on some totally off-the-wall thing.  THAT kind of stuff will be much better than the talk that ends with "..but we still have no idea whether string theory is really correct or not."\n\ncheers


BADDDDD?.\n\nTheir early songs were so powerful and melodic. I was such a huge fan. However since TEN, I've been disappointed over and over again. \n\nNow it just sounds like they're trying to make 'creative' noise which in the end only amounts to average to below average college rock.\n\nI really think at this point in his career, Vedder should stay away from  his attempts at 'harder' edge rock, and concentrate on acoustic/folk which seem to have been the only consistent thing that has been good.

I think as they grow older they sometimes try to reinvent themselves. Usually they find their way back to their original sound. I'm still holding out. It won't be long.....just watch. :)

Find the smallest no such that when the LSB and MSB are interchanged such that the resulting number is\n\n1: greater than the original number\n\n2: it is divisible by the original number\n\nCondition the original number shud not start with 0\n\nIe) eg) it should not be 02 so that 20 is divisible by 02

Not sure what LSB and MSB are, but it sounds like from the example that the number is reversed (like 61/16), and the answer should be an integer?\n\n8712 is divisible by 2178, not sure if it's the smallest one, though.


I'm born again and dwelt in a beautiful fellowship having only youth. As the days gone by I found a peculiar interest in my worship leader because I like the way she worships God. It was just a respect and nothing else ran into my mind. But after few months I started to have dreams of only two people one is my pastor and the other is this girl and everyday it happened. So I started having a special interest in this girl and though our congregation is a beautiful one with many young ones worshipping God, this girl is not so handsome and fair, you understand what I mean but my eyes are fixed on this one girl I don't know why though there are many beautiful girls out there. Slowly I had some desires in my heart like seeing her from a very near distance and I know it would be only a dream because I have no access to meet her personally. But I don't know how One day she ended up at my workplace though we couldn't talk I could gaze at closeup distance. Is this love? Is this all from God.

With your detailed story I feel that your dreams have made the whole story into a love relationship and your faith in God is so high.......Do you really think that God was fulfilling your desire or is it a coincidence.......I wanted to know more details but I think you didn't have space to write more anyways............If God is with you who can be against you..........Just hang on  buddy you will come with flying colours and as you say she isn't so handsome or beautiful then how do you still love her........It is surely a spiritual business. It is a triangle between You, girl and God...........

And this county of hypocrites thought he was so terrible for his act with Monica Lewinsky?!?!?  Please Bill come back and save us!

I assume you are a liberal and the "country of hypocrites" you refer to are conservative.\n\nNo, we thought Bill Clinton should have been removed from office because he lied under oath. He got caught. And he ADMITTED he lied under oath. As the chief law enforcement officer in the land, someone who breaks the law by lying under oath is not fit to occupy the office. In other words, Mr. Clinton admitted he committed PERJURY which is a FELONY. You and I would be in jail for committing it. Why is Mr. Clinton above the law?\n\nMr. Clinton showed an absolute lack of respect for the military of this country. Military members were not allowed to even wear their uniforms at the White House. He showed a determination to engage in some minor military action so he could answer critics who claimed he was a dove. He drove the military to the sad state of world policeman. He depleted the military both personnel and materiel wise until it was a hollow military that had soldier running around yelling "BANG" on training exercises. (And I know what I speak of - I was in every one of the scenarios listed above.)\n\nAnd last but not least, he is still chain to the demon named Hillary. SHE is the Anti-Christ and will spell doom for the world as we know it.\n\nAGAIN - browneyedmaiden is talking out of her a**. "Look how many of our special men and women that we have lost due to Bush's vendetta." Let me assure you, Ms. Maiden, that the vast majority of men and women in Iraq are there by there own choice. How do I know? I have been there. Twice. We take pride in our jobs because it is a tough job and not many people are up to it. Those who don't have the courage to do it generally sit back and complain about the special men and women we have lost due to Bush's vendetta. We love it because we are helping people put their lives together - lives that have been dismantled and detroyed over the course of the last 30 years. Many, many soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines volunteer to go back to Iraq to serve another tour. \n\nBut I don't expect you to believe that because the media doesn't report on those things. Check them out yourself.

okay he and i liked eachother openly from when we first met 2 months ago but then he said that he wanted to get to know me better before he did anything about it and that he didnt know what he wanted, then this guy that i had liked for 3 years asked me out and i said yes but in the 2 weeks we were dating we didnt get along and are now not friends but the guy in question started talkign to one of my best friends that he had breefly met 3 years ago and and right after me and the BF broke up he started dating her, he says that he wants to be with me but that the amount of guy's i've been with bothers him and he's not sure how to get past it. true i've been with a lot of guy but i would do anything for him and he knows that and beleves it. why is it he cant take the chance and be with me?

Well I think that if he really loves you than he wouldn't care about what people say or do, and would only focus on only being with you...so if he loves you as he says then  why is he with another one? \nand doing anything for each other does not come from one side it comes from both sides of the relationship.(which is you and him)

do you think the media is liberal? i think that it is.

Ditto on the research by our latest poster! Just look at the attacks on Bush versus the love fest with Clinton. I guess you have to define which media first. \n\nFox has kicked the tar out of all the competition since it came on because people were tired of being presented just one side. Talk radio has launched some people into the top income brackets in the country because we were so glad to finally hear that our ideas were shared by others and the talking heads at CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS had ridiculed our beliefs and thought for so long.\n\nAfter Viet Nam and Watergate, Liberal dope smoking drop out hippies got into media and teaching to mold and shape our future, (Change things) while conservatives started companies and got jobs in the private sector. The focus of reporting became not to tell the story but to define the meaning of the events with a bent on changing peoples ideas. Our schools and universities were also taken over by these miscreants with the intent of warping the minds of our youth to their hatred for everything Americana!

I'm not a programmer but I am going to need to find someone (or some people) who can take my idea, let me know if it's feasible and figure out how to turn it into reality (i.e. program the back-end, which is going to include SQL). Any ideas?

If you have an idea of what needs to be done then you can check out places like Rent A Coder. This company specializes in providing an "escrow" service specifically designed for Computer, Programming and Internet related entrepeneurs and coders. They've been around for 5+ years. It's free for buyers. Basically you sign up and post your job requirements and then people bid on it. You look at their profile, and their bids and choose. Once the project is completed you market it as being done, you get the receivables and the coder gets paid.


I thought I could take out this 'after tax' money anytime without penalties. But as I learned now, I'm wrong, right?

There's many advantages to your money when you put it into a 401k plan.  First, money placed into the 401k plan is deducted from your paycheck _before_ taxes are applied.  So if you make $40,000 a year and you put $5,000 into your 401k, the government taxes you as if you made $35,000.  So the first benefit is overall reduction of taxes in the current year.\n\nThe second benefit is, your money grows within the account tax free.  So, assuming you held onto the account for years and years, let's say it grew from $5,000 to $50,000 10 years later.  That means a $45,000 increase that's never taxed.  Not too shabby, right?\n\nThird, you are only taxed when you withdrawl money from the account after the age of 59.5.  Assuming this is your only source of income at that time, you'll be in a lower tax bracket when you start to use the money.  So, overall, that money is taxed less than it would have been if you used it while you were working.\n\nOf course, this was meant to be a retirement plan (as opposed to a savings account) and provisions were made to assure that any withdrawals prior to the age of 59.5 is penalized an extra 10% on top of your usual tax rate.  This is to discourage misuse of the retirement plan unless you absolutely needed the money.


Is it effective? Have you used it, what was the result? Any side effects? Name some brands

I do not use appetite suppressants, but here's an idea. Eat small amounts throughout the day. (up to 6 times) This will help you to keep your metabolism going through out the day and will not let you get "starving". That is when you eat everything in sight. If you're never hungry, then you will eat healthier portion sizes. I eat more now AND weigh less just by changing the amount of times/sizes of what i eat.\n\nAlso, i have tried the likes of Xenadrine and Hydroxycut. They were supposed to make you burn fat and curb your appetite, but i was still hungry... They made me jittery.

We want to know what kind of legal action could be taken if nude photos were posted on the internet under the following circumstances. The pictures would be public and free to view; no money would be made. The pictures were taken with full verbal consent; however without any mention of possible distribution in any form.

No, consent must be in writing and kept on file with proof that the model was of age at the time the pictures were taken. Verbal consent is insufficient for this type of material. She could sue you civilly and the Feds could file charges and drag you through hell and back before you were able to prove that she was of legal age and consented to the public display of the pictures.


I'm widowed, and she was never married, we're both aged 60, and haven't seen each other for over 10 yrs.  I don't want to start a romance, but was disappointed when she didn't recognize me.  I'm the same weight, still have all my hair, although its solid gray now, where it was blond in yesteryears. She has gained weight, about 20 lbs, but I recogized her without a doubt.  Do you think this was on purpose just to possibly upset me?  Well, she suceeded, but I added "well, both of us have changed a lot since the last time we met, my gray hair and you're added a few pounds".  She and I dated 1 1/2 yrs in high school, and the summer after our 1st yr of college. I'm going to place this under "love and romance", but its a former...........

You dated for a year and a half in high school, and she doesn't remember you? That's not normal. She could have some kind of memory loss.

That some people try to be real liberal and say "live and let live".... and that it is okay to be homosexual,homeless,an atheist or etc...But,if you live in a mobile home you are trailer trash? How stupid is that?

Petty prejudice.  I know what you are saying.  I, too, live in a mobile home and some people think of you as a transcient or someone they are looking for on America's Most Wanted.  People do not realize the mobile homes are affordable housing for a lot of people since housing prices, especially in the cities, are way out of reach for a lot of people. I like my home; it gives me the space I need and I live in a wonderful area.


think about it. its sad for those plp like me!! lol

It's supposed to be so happy because it's a day of love and mush, and love is happiness.  But for single people, they don't really have anyone to love, and seeing all the people in love, especially on this day just makes them sadder. If you focus your attention on somehting else besides your lack of love, it can be happier. I've found voulenteering at an old folks home, showing your family how much you love them, and then buying yourself chocolate and something shiny helps.  Especially the chocolate part.


I am in a relationship with a man who is 10 years my seniors.  I am MADLY in love with him.  However, we seem to be having some physical challenges in regards to sex/intimacy.  He NEVER wants to do it without my initiation.  And even then, it is doled out sparingly. LOL. I don't want to cheat on this man but he is truly starving me sexually.  I am in the middle of my peak and fear that his lack of interest will make me stray.  I have never strayed in my life and don't want to do so now.  I often think of what I would do if he were in a car accident and paralyzed.  Would I be selfish and seek gratification elsewhere? I am hoping there are other women who can tell me how they deal with this situation....BEFORE I do something rash.  By the way, he's had TWO heartattacks and ONE was 6 months ago.  We've been together for 9 months.  So Viagra is NOT an option.  He wants to keep me happy but I'm not sure he's physically ABLE to do so.  He only does it now at my BEGGING maybe once every 2 wks

Ask your doctor about the meds and also ask if he can recommend a therapist. It sounds like counseling may help you two, alot. Good luck to you, I hope things work out.


The main disc's mass is M and it's radius is R. The poles' mass is m (together) and their radius is r.

first thing you need to do is calculate the moment of inertia of the wheel.  this can be done by treating the poles and the main wheel separately.  the moment of inertia of a circular disc (the wheel) is (1/2)MR^2, and of the rods (also a circular disc!) is (1/2)mr^2.  add them together to get the total moment of inertia.  \n\nyou'll need to use conservation of energy.  specifically, when the wheel drops a height h, the potential energy lost is -mgh.  this energy gets split into two parts, the rotational energy of the wheel and the translational energy (since it's moving downwards).  you can then write an equation setting the potential energy loss equal to the sum of the rotational and kinetic energies:\n\n-E_p = E_rot + E_trans\n-mgh = (1/2)Iw^2 + (1/2)(m + M)v^2\n\nhere I used (1/2)Iw^2 for the rotational kinetic energy and (1/2)mv^2 for the translational kinetic energy, where I substituted (m + M) for the total mass of your object.\n\nthe key point is now to realize that because the wheel unwinds along a string that is wrapped around the pole, the angular velocity w = v/r where r is the pole's radius and v is the translational velocity of the pole.  so you can substitute that into your expression.  it's not clear from your question whether you want the angular acceleration or the translational acceleration.  so you can either substitute the rw in for v, or v/r in for w.  \n\nin either case you then have a formula for the velocity as a function of the height of the wheel, which you can then solve for the velocity, and then take the derivative to get the acceleration.\n\ngood luck!


I have had a severe sore throat for about one and a half weeks now. Some lozenges I've been using say to contact a doctor if symptoms persist for over 2 days...? What should I do?

Could be strep throat! \n\nLook at your tounsils- are they inflamed? Is there a foriegn substance coming from them?\n\nI had mono and strep throat all at one time- it was horrible.\n\nHope you feel better! Take Care...Danae


I can understand if u believe it is not a human life..but if you believe it is a human being how could u not want to defend its life??

I think that most people have a deep ingrained belief that a developing human embryo or fetus doesn't have the same moral status as a baby or child.  I think many of our customs reflect this belief.  Without trying to get all argumentative about it let me give some examples of what I mean by these customs, and many of them are shared by people who are "pro life."\n\n-We don't perform funerals for embryo's or fetuses.\n-We don't report miscarriages to the police\coronor.\n-We don't tell people that we had four children who died if we had four misscarriages.\n-Most celebrations of pregnancy are confined to the later months and are focused on the event of birth.\n-We don't celebrate the anniversary or commemorate the date or month of conception.\n-When an older woman tries to get pregnant and has lots of misscarriages, we generally don't condemn her as a murder or see her as doing anything particularly immoral.\n-If someone has chosen a name for their child and they have a misscarriage, then they don't normally have a probelm naming their next child the same name, although if the child was actually born most people would never, never do this.\n\nI think that these things are indications of some sort of ingrained belief that there is a different moral standing for a fetus and embryo than a child who has already been born.  And even though it's difficult to accept this kind of argument, I think that it is a gradual thing, so that the closer the fetus\baby comes to being born the more people think it's a tragedy when it dies.  I think this is the reason that many pro-choice people feel content to leave it up to the pregnant woman herself to decide what to do when she is pregnant, rather than treat her as a criminal if she is seeking abortion.\n\nMy view:  I have no horse in this race, no opinion eather way on the ultimate legality of abortion.  I think that someday there will be no abortions and we will think very harshly of prior generations who did it, but I also think that someday we will feel the same way about people who eat meat.\n\nAnyway since you are trying to understand the pro-choice view on this I hope this helps you.
