i have a school computer and they block just about everything and i was wondering how to unblock myspace and yahoo games, xanga, tagged and vampire freaks.

You need web based proxies : cgi, php and others. They will act as an intermediary between your computer and the myspace server.\n\nHere is a list of proxies to access myspace.com They are rated according to the their speed to load myspace.com in Top5 and listed all on the proxies page.\n\nhttp://www.proxyrater.com\n\nTell me if it helps to get in ...\n\n    Hope I helped


I can only use Toothpicks and glue to do something that that protect the egg from a fall. Any ideas?

You make a tall tube of the toothpicks with a hexagonal cross section. Kinda like a jenga stack, only hollow and six sides. You make the interior hollow just smaller than the egg and don't glue strongly.\n\nWhen it hits with the egg at top, the egg will force it's way down into the hollow center of the tube (like a paperwad in a straw), breaking toothpick bonds as it goes down. \n\nYou might have to experiment, but the energy of the egg will be transferred to the breaking of the bonds holding the toothpick tube together and the egg will slow.\n\nPut egg on tube narrow end down.


Anyone know how to import or Convert Yahoo.csv to Skype Contacts List (vcf) file? or directly import the csv file?

You'll first have to import he .csv into outlook (not outlook express because outlook express can't import contacts from a .csv file). To do so: click file and choose the import/export wizard that will guide you through. After you import the contacts into outlook, open skype, choose contacts then import contacts and you're done.


your grandma has diabetes can you get it too?

I am going to assume that your grandmother has Type II diabetes .. the answer is anyone can develop diabetes.  Type II is typically a disease of the obese of inactive their bodies no longer respond the the insulin that is being produced (insulin resistant) or they don't produce enough.  Now if you have other family members who have diabetes then yes if you are overweight and unhealthy then you may have a higher risk than another overweight person who has no family history.  The way to look at it is I need to stay healthy not only because I don't want to become a diabetic but because I don't want any other complications like heart disease.


Normally, the purpose of asking a question would be to know the answer by the person who does not know the answer.But, unfortunately, in Yahoo! Answers, the purpose seems to be to test the other person's knowledge, a show of one-upmanship, in a number of cases. Is this justifiable?

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice these things. No, it is not justifiable. It is annoying. These people probably raised their hands in class saying "pick me...pick me". Ugh.


Europeans rock!\nAre they jealous? Or what?\nDumme Löcher von USA!

I will try to explain. Firstly i need to multiply A1 by B1 minus B1 and have the figure shown in C1.\nSecond, D4 needs to have a choice of 2 options when clicked W or L, should L be selected the sum needs to be C4 copied into E4 and E4 plus 2 being put into A5. should W be selected E4 needs to show the same as B4.\n\nAny ideas anyone?

in C1:\n=A1*b1-b1\n\nin E4:\n=if(Upper(D4)="L",C4,if(Upper(D4)="W",B4,"D4 not L or W"))\n\nin A5:\n=E4+2\n\nIf I have understood correctly...\n\nJeez! my answer was truncated!  Here is is so that you can see it but don't include the linebreak!\nin E4:\n=if(Upper(D4)="L",C4,\nif(Upper(D4)="W",B4,"D4 not L or W"))


should i get spikes for track and field?

If you like the sport and you have potential, spikes are necessary.  You didn't say what event you are in, but make sure you get the right spike for your event.  I have found that Nike spikes are the best quality.  \nYou can get a basic spike for long distance or sprinting for about 40-50 dollars.  For specialized spikes, like long jump, throwing, pole vault, etc, it can be about 80-100 dollars.  If you are a beginner and you do field events, a basic sprinting spike will work fine for all events. I have found that spikes really help your performance.


some countries have banned ltte as a terrorist but they allow to collect funds for war\nwhat is the use of banning if it doesnt work for curtailling their brutall killings?

the only way you can distroy the terrorism by understanding why they fight and give their life for nothing. you have to know the needs of the people and why they support that organization. and every one will have a good reason to fight,... not like the ones that america say for keeping atomic war heads to their hands


Cycling is the perfect blend of sport, entertainment, travel and plain old, everyday transport. That's quite a combination of attributes!\n\nCycling is also one of the best three sports for all round fitness (along with rowing and swimming). No muscles or joints are overstressed, yet everything gets a workout. \n\nCycling is companionable and you can do it till you're old - recently in the Pyrenees two guys overtook me going up the mountains. Later as I struggled into the mountain-top village they were sitting outside a cafe having a beer and smoking merrily! They were well into their 70's and very fit despite the fags.\n\nCycling is accessible to everyone, of every ability and you can race, or potter about, in cities or in the country as you feel.\n\nI love cycling.

It is on the Russian River in Sonoma County California, About 1 1/2 to 2 hours North of San Francisco. It is or was an exclusive resort that was frequented by many of those in high political office during the summers back when I was hanging on the river (60's and 70's). It is owned by the exclusive men only Bohemian Club of San Francisco and supposedly is still host to major power figures during a two week summer retreat. This retreat supposedly has been attended by almost every president since Roosevelt and all of the major corporate executives from the fortune 500. What is interesting is that many major news executives attend this gathering (allegedly) and any stories written by reporters who have infiltrated the gathering have been quashed and the reporters have ended up covering Antarctica or Siberia! It was and is a place of intrigue, myth and mystery.


X is the one true way. We know X is the one true way because The Source of Universal Truth has approved X. We know The Source of Universal Truth has approved X, because X contains statements which say so. We know what X says is true because X is the one true way.

So X is dependent on TSOUT (the source of universal truth)\n\nAnd the TSOUT is dependent on X.\n\nThat, my friend, is circular logic, and as such, is a false proof.

I really don't hate gay ppl I just feel grossed out and I hate feeling dat way. But I still don't like the gay guy who did something 2 my family member.\n\nQuestion: Have u ever felt the way I have?

I can understand why you wouldnt like this specific person, great, and its great that you dont hold that against gay people. Feeling wierded out is totally natural, am i right in suggesting that youve never really come across it before? literally, there is hardley a difference between you and me. We are both human beings, only i prefer having relationships with guys. Dont let that be what gets to you. you shouldnt judge people on who they are, based on gender, sexuality, race or class, but instead as who they are as a person. its best to get to know the person before you judge them for being gay. Just remember, that single person who did something to a family member of yours is an individual, dont judge everybody else based on their actions (it wouldnt be fair!)\n\njust get to know them before you judge them :D and its great to know that there is somebody out there who doesnt "HATE" the gay crowd!

We try to emphasize the low fat, low protein foods in our menus but low caloric intake seems to trigger gout, along with quite a few dark green vegetables.\nOne contributing factor to gout is obesity and it is recommended to lose weight.\nOne recommendation for gout sufferers is not to eliminate fatty foods from your diet because they help metabolize uric acid.\nHow are you supposed to lose weight?\nThere is so much information out there, everything I read about the two problems seems to be contradictory.

First of all let me point out a thing or two. The health ramifications of obesity are much more serious in the long run. Secondly, the evidence for protective( from gout) effects of fatty diet is very thin. It is also important that dietary modifications in general do rarely lower the level of uric acid sufficiently to prevent future attacks in a person with gout. In short the importance of diet should not be over emphasized as regards gouty arthritis. Importantly, however, alcohol intake should be reduced to prevent future attacks.  The bottome line: advice people to lost weight because this is helpful to reduce the risks of developing the many metabolic complications of obesity and heart disease- which are much more serious than gout. \n Less meat, less fat and a lot of moderate exercise!!!!


Just watch a movie about a two sons went after missing father who had gone on hunting ghosts that killed their mother. I've seen ghosts on a trip to a jungle before, with 30 other people for three straight days.

By "seeing ghosts" what do you mean? Like apparitions? On ur jungle trip what did the ghosts u saw look like? I have never "seen" a ghost, but I have felt spirits and heard things. My dad came back to see us when he passed away. He always told us not to be afraid when he passed on, becos' he would come back only once to make sure we were okay, and then he would be gone forever. We heard him (my sister and I) rummaging through drawers (opening & closing) and then we felt him standing over our beds, of course we were kids and we got scared, but nothing else happened after that. I think ghosts were people who died violent or premature deaths, and have no idea that they are dead. The spirits I feel/hear are people who have accepted their death and need to tell someone they are content and will be okay.

i get a lot of comments from dudes but all they want is to smash and dash! so also is it possible for me to find some one that likes me for me and not just for my body??

It's not your fault, it all depends on what you think. If you think they are to big, talk to some one because there are things that can be done. But always remember that ppl come in all shapes and sizes.

Jesus was a muslim because the first muslims were Hebrews. The quran says hebrews were given the book first.  A muslim is one who submitts to the will of God which is what all prophets and servants of God have done. Jesus said do not worship me so why do Christians disobey their savior?

I am a Muslim...because i follow Isa/Jesus...\n\nQuran 2:136\nSay (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham...and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/


large + med chick.=10.6 ib\nlarge+small chick= 8.5\nmed+small chick.= 6.1\n\nhelp me cause i dont get it!

OK - let's assume that Large Chicken is A, Medium Chicken is B, and Small Chicken is C. \n\nA+B=10.6\nA+C=8.5\nB+C=6.1\n\nNow, logically: 10.6+8.5 = (A+B)+(A+C), or 2A+(B+C)\n\nSo - 10.6+8.5=2A+6.1 ~ 19.1=2A+6.1 ~ 19.1-6.1=2A ~ 13=2A ~ A=6.5\n\nSo, if A=6.5, then (10.6-6.5)=B ~ B=4.1\nand (8.5-6.5)=C ~ C=2.0\n\nTHEREFORE:\nA=6.5 - Large Chicken\nB=4.1 - Medium Chicken\nC=2.0 - Small Chicken

It is easy to see how optical scanners can read  the "regular" UPC barcodes (arrays of bars of different widths and separation) that have been used for years on most retail items . But some identification systems now seem to use labels that look like a random pattern of dots. How do these work? If you read such a pattern with the usual criss-cross pattern of laser beams seems you will miss most of the dots...

these are read with basic images.  rather than crossing a laser beam across it, a "photograph" of the pattern is taken, and a binary code can be read using the light and dark areas of the pattern.


We married 9 months after we grad. from HS. I found out that he cheated on me - he later said i wasn't giving him what he needed. i tried to make things work for apprx 2 mos, til i couldn't take it anymore. i felt i was living a lie. i didn't trust him at all. we were seperated for 8 months. we tried to get back together, and it was okay when i was with him, but i still didn't trust him when we were apart, so i called it quits after 10 days. 2 months after that, we started talking again. after 2 weeks i got new wedding rings (he sold my old ones to his friend)... we talked about moving in together in the next month. but now i'm having doubts! i feel like i can trust him now, but after living the single life (for the FIRST time) - i don't think i'm ready to be married for the rest of my life. im young and haven't ever lived for myself. i never put myself first. i don't want to hurt him, but i'm hurting myself. i have no idea how to tell him. am i crazy? can anyone relate? any ideas?

If you are haveing douts the go with your gut something isn't right and as far as you wasn't given him what he need yea right thats just an excusse! Get out if thats what you want but no onec an tell you what to to but you like I said listen to your gut!

My neck is stiff.  When I turn my head to the far left, I wince in pain.  Now that's usually not too bad, I would just take some Motrin and get over it in a few days.  But I have a performance today in the lead role of The Giver (www.primestage.com/) and it is our last public performance, and a big one at that.  I don't have an understudy and I need help quick.  Is there any quick relief method for waking up with a stiff neck that doesn't involve super-drowsy medecation?  I don't think I have a virus, I just slept on it wrong.  I am truly desperate.  I already tried walking around, playing Ping Pong, getting a massage (not professionally of course), taking Tylenol, and taking a bath, and I'm still stiff on the left.  HELP ME!!!

I have a friend who lives in a small city of ~30,000 people.  The entire city is controlled by a greedy phone company.  If you want landline phone service or local internet you must use them.  The prices are not competitive.  He is paying $20/month for a dial up internet account + $30/month for the stupid phone line to use said account.  The phone company will offer him "high speed" DSL internet for ~$80/month (750kup/750kdown) which is not even that fast.  There is no option to use Sprint, MCI, AT&T, etc...just his crappy greedy phone company.  Is this legal?  It's a total monopoly.

if theres no other provider then yup, its legal. several companies (verison, cingular, vodofone, ect) have a wireless card that works nationwide. its about $60/month. we drove from from dallas to san antonio (texas) to los angeles, all around there for 2 weeks, north to vancuver. back to la, then to austin. we lost signal a while after ft stockton ut got it back in a few minutes. it was itermittent around chico, cali. land lines suck. cingular has a good plan, its $40/month, but its; roll over, free nighs & weekends, good service, ect. check it out.\nhttp://scotthortonshow.com/\nmoney, http://www.philipdru.com/griffin_stream.html\nbush & clinton http://www.philipdru.com/triplett_stream.html\nisrael http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=8730\nhttp://www.philipdru.com/webb_stream.html\niran http://www.weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=131


I am 14, and dont consider that too young to date, i've never had a girlfriend also so i'm not good in this area. i like this girl, shes gorgeous, sweet and funny. me and her have never hung out though, and i also dont know how she feels towards me. and assuming we do end up hanging out and she likes me, my friend and her broke up a couple weeks ago, should i ask him what he thinks about it first? i have been friends with her all year though, so i didnt meet her through him, and he broke up with her so hes not still down, hes already gotten a new girl. Thank you for your help!

I think you would be very smart to ask your friend first what he thinks about it. But be ware that he might still have feelings for her, even though he broke up with her. But still ask amd make sure that it is cool with him. And if its not, dont push the issue leave it alone. And if he is down with wit, go for it. Good Luck!!!!!


we make container an one of are customers put something in it and it ate or disolved all the welds.

I'm a metallurgist - weld material is more highly 'strained' than the parent material, so it is more prone to acidic corrosion relative to the parent material.\n\nThere is another possibility:  how do know the "weld metal" was the same as the parent material?  Perhaps the weld material was had fewer alloying elements so corroded sooner...  (cheap filler metal)\n\nOne more thing to consider:  if the part was hooked up to any electrical source, the corrosion could be caused by electrolysis rather than acidic corrosion (no kidding! happens more than you think).  Check with a voltmeter to ground; I've had batteries just eat right through stainless over a weekend; if so, insulate!

Everyone that bashes bush for the war-- We basically went to war because of 9-11, terrorism, and weapons of mass destruction, agree? Now, think about it when you bash bush...what would YOU say if bush didn't react to 9-11 and all the terrorist acts around the world?  Would you then call him weak for not reacting?  He does react and people crucify him for trying to protect us.  YOU bash our country and put negitive thoughts in our troops heads. Why would the troops want to fight for a country that doesn't even appreciate it's own soil?  It's time to give this country and bush some credit, it's NOT an easy fu_king job.  When you bash this country you are bashing yourself, and your hurting the effort of all the troops. I should know, I was in IRAQ for 8 months.  If you really want to know why we're in Iraq you should go, and see how messed up it is. We need to be there.  It's time we quit being so selfish and realize that this is one planet, not one country.

You put your question very well.\nYes he did have WMDs. just not found thanks to the delay in Attacking Iraq.\nThe people of Iraq did Want Rid of him. And MOST don't want him back.\nSaddam did Have links with Terrorists. The party he led were all Terrorists. I would just wonder how any other President would have handled the Pressure that was thrown at him the way 9/11 was on President Bush. Maybe if some of the ones on this site sent out good Vibes rather than the Bad ones. Might just make the Terrorists think twice. Before they act. When the American People Are United, The Worlds Terrorists Faltered. this my opinion as None American.\n\ng who or what gives you the right to call someone else Stupid Just because they have a different Point than yours.\nFucking typical rhetoric from a sheep herder.


I woke up twice last night and am feeling very tired. I tried going to bed when I was tired(10:30) but woke up at 1 am and then at 2 am. I finally fell asleep on the couch but as I had to get up at 6 am I feel very  spaced out. \nI have tried melatonin,watching alchohol intake,valerian tea,sleeping in a quiet place,not eating,eating all sorts of stuff. \nHelp!!!

Hi!\nWhen you don't get good sleep,\n1) just lay on the bed,Keep your mind thoughtless and just close your eyes,have a deep breath,start counting reverse from 100 to 1 or\n2) if you sleep under sky, you can start counting number of stars in the sky, it will really help you in sleeping. You wouldn't be able to know when you fell asleep.


are  kaka, ronaldihno, ronaldo and all the rest as good as the team that won in mexico in 1970

Every team at that level in today's game would blow away those past legends.  Vast improvements in sports science / technology , diet, training methods and tactics have made today's players adopt a more professional approach to the game.  Their increased speed and endurance and tactical awareness would stand out a mile.  However I would love to see that 70's team with today's facilities at their disposal!

I would like to know whether South Beach Diiet really works. Is it worthy to try it?

I am on the SOuth Beach Diet and it does work. I have been on it for a month and I have lost 20 lbs so far. I was also on it about a year and a half ago and lost 50 lbs. but I totally binged and loaded up on carbs when I was at  the weight I wanted and gainded it all back. So, if you do this diet, you have to realize that it is changing the way you eat and you need to stick with it for it to work. It's healthy for you and a smart way to eat!


i have looked every where and i just dont know where he went! he was a good actor what is he doing now

I didn't find out what he was doing now, but this is what I found\n\nIan Michael Smith\n\nA hospital worker in the Chicago area had approached the parents of young Ian Michael Smith about his auditioning for the leading role in a soon-to-filmed motion picture. Like the film's hero, Smith is afflicted with Morquio Syndrome, a rare enzyme disorder that affects the circulatory, muscular and skeletal systems. The Smiths were concerned about exploitation but after reading the novel on which the film was based agreed to allow their son to audition. Although he eventually lost on that role (the film was "The Mighty" and Kieran Culkin landed the part), Smith was recommended for another role in a film based on a novel. This time, his audition tape won over the director and the novice was hired to essay the title role of "Simon Birch" (1998), suggested by John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany". Because of his illness, Smith is just over three feet tall, having undergone several operations including a spinal fusion and two bilateral osteotomies, he was the perfect choice to play Simon, touted as having been so small when he was born his mother didn't even notice the delivery. The novice actor proved a natural before the cameras and impressing some reviewers who found the film itself treacly and sentimental. \n•Born: \nin Illinois\n•Job Titles: \nActor\nFamily\n•Brother: Brian Smith. younger \n•Father: Steve Smith. runs consulting firm in the Chicago area \n•Mother: Gayle Smith. \nMilestones\n•1998 Film acting debut in title role of "Simon Birch" \n•Auditioned for the lead role in "The Mighty"; part went to Kieran Culkin \n•Raised in Elmhurst, Illinois


He will be a senior this year. He's not into drugs and drinking & doesn't comes home late. He's smart, but lazy at school, and does just OK. He excels in soccer and plays for school and local teams. He doesn't do chores around the house until we lose our cool and scream.\nWe live in an upscale area-but are by no means rich. We recently bought him a great used SUV and pay his insurance. However, he expects us to give him money for gas and fun-like his friend's parents. \nWe have told him to get a job now to pay for his gas and extras. We decided not to give him anymore money-no matter how much he complains. It is hell. Doesn't help when his friends come over and have money handed to them from their parents.\nThis kid is a master debater and can manipulate and twist words like a pro. Each arguement leaves me exhausted and wanting to scream. How do I get him to understand how fortunate he is and that he needs to take responsibility for himself? Or am I out of touch by trying to raised?

Right now he is a kid with a sense of "entitlement".\n\nAnd unfortunately we as parents (or grandparents) enstill this behavior in our kids at an early age.\n\nIn our family, the grandma's did it.  \n\nHe is 18, well old enough to work.  So stick to your guns and don't give in NO MATTER WHAT!

Two things could cause this. One is simply that your monitor brightness is slightly off or, more likely, the JPEG quality settings in photoshop are set to darken the image slightly when saving.


Inbetween UFC 3 and 6 Pat Smith fought Kimo in Japan was the fight in the PANCRASE ASSOCIATION ?\n\nWho won the fight and how?

I also have just looked into this. I found out that Kimo beat Pat by submission. These fights are almost impossible to get on DVD where i live, i guess you have the same problem. Glad to see more UFC fans out there!

My horrible habit is that I can't quit lying. And I am so tired of it. i want to change so bad but I need some advice. Please help me.

Why do you lie?  I think you need to become aware of your reasons for lying.  You need to remove the underlying (no pun intended) cause.  If you have a feeling of insecurity, then that needs dealt with.  If you are doing things you are ashamed of, then you need to stop doing those things.  It really just depends on your reason for it.\n\nIf you don't know the reason, or you can't fix the underlying problem, I recommend counselling.  That can be very helpful IF you get a good counsellor.  I find good counsellors very hard to come by.  I think those ones that don't say anything and just sit there and stare at you are pretty worthless.  Get one that actually TELLS you something.


Same holliday diferent ways to celebrate. I personaly will celebrate Midsummer in tipical (at least as close to tipical as posible) wiccan way, St. John I'll stick to the puertorican way, go to the beach and at midnight that night jump in the water and dunk yourself 7 times (it varies some do it 3 or 5 but always an odd #).

We are doing a Faerie calling spell and fortune rings.  The fortune rings are easy.  YOu decorate a metal ring, you can get different sizes from a craft store.  Then you think of what you want to happen and roll the ring forward while asking for what you seek.

Flying to watch games or stay home watch on TV

Yes, I would like to see the world cup, up close and in person. It would be the best feeling of the world. Because setting in front of the TV, will not give you that same feels.

My neighborhood knows how to spell and speak like a normal human being.


i dont really believe in all that "superstition" stuff like luck or aliens. but i saw a program last night about aliens and history of "ufo"'s. it makes me think if there really is such a things as aliens...what do you think? tell me why!

The problem is, that's all most people think aliens are; little green men who ride in weird-looking UFOs. Aliens, in the true sense, would be any form of life anywhere outside Earth. Now, in a universe filled with millions of galaxies, each galaxy with trillions of stars, and each star with at least 3 planets, what do you suppose are the chances that only ONE planet had the right conditions for life? Now, as for why they haven't come to Earth, ask why we haven't gone to them. We're always under the impression that aliens would be super-advanced and omnipotent, but why would they be if we're not? For all we know, we could be the OLDEST form of sentient life in the universe. And if not, and there are alines looking for life and listening for radio signals, if we sent a radio message to the nearest (possible) habitable star system, it would be hundreds of years before it got there. And who's to say they'd even be looking in our direction? To dispute the existence of alien life just because it hasn't made contact would be like saying cells don't exist because you can't see them without a microscope.


my girlfriend wants to go back to how things were when we were just "hooking up" because she says she is going to have too many responsibilities over the summer to have room for a boyfriend. How can I respond to this and is she just trying to break up with me by putting it lightly?

I'm sorry to say you are right -- she is trying to break it to you as easily as she can without hurting you.


if you are, do you have to be a certain age, and is it even worth it?


Prostitution - always has, is, and always will be here.\nDrugs - demand, black market supply. Billions spent on 'War on Drugs' [if they spent all that money on schools, there would be need for the war]. Vice laws were written in a totally different era by the moralists of that age. Besides costing a bunch, the whole enforcement process is clogged up with 'offenders'.

No, they are not, though I'm sure by the tone of your question, my chances at "best answer" just dramatically dropped.  \n\nVice laws are a reflection of the wants/needs of a community. The problem is that prostitution and drugs bring with them a whole slew of other problems - homicide, robbery, homelessness, all sorts of public disorder/nuisance issues.  Where you have drugs, you are always going to have addicts, and where you have addicts, you are always going to have property crimes.  \n\nIn addition, consider this - There is currently an ordinance in my City that says that I cannot hold a garage sale in my front yard.  Do you honestly think a community that cares where the friggin' garage sale is held is ready to loosen up in regard to vice?


Even you recollect the dream, it is only in black and white only.

I have a friend whos grandparents won 46 million before taxes 3 years ago. They got about 25 million, which isn't bad at all. They are living pretty comfortable right now :]

So far I'm down $2.  But I'm planning on buying another scratch off soon... so then I'll be down $3. \n\nCheers!


I'm thinking about joining a penpal service as I have recently stumbled across Letternet (www.letternet.de).  I was just wondering if I could just mail letters to penpals like I would any other letter, or would I have to have additional postage?

It costs more. The same 1ox. for 39 cents US is 63 cents to Canada and 89 to some other places. You can see all the specific rates at: http://www.usps.com


Did you know that the Federal Goverment under George Bush passed a law wherein they hire water meter readers, repairman, mail carriers and others to look around your home to find what they may think to be anything that is suspicious or relating to terrorism?

They must be bored to tears with the details of my private life.


I live in Tennessee in the same county as the Bell Witch stuff and someone told me that this movie was coming out that was all about the Bell Witch. I remember growing up with all the stories and books, I would've never thought about making a movie about it. Is it true? Is the movie about the Bell Witch of Tennessee?

Yes, a movie is coming out that is about the Bell Witch of Tennessee. The name of the movie is "American Haunting" and it comes out this weekend (May 5th).\n\nThe events in the novel (which the movie is based from) are supposedly based true events from the legend of The Bell Witch that have been validated by the State of Tennessee and President Andrew Jackson as the only case in United States history where a spirit or entity caused the death of a man.


I've been exercising for months - and instead of buffing myself, I LOST WEIGHT. Now, friends say I'm stark thin - almost as if I'm not eating enough, so I'm planning to eat up and buffen myself.\n\nCan you suggest some good exercise routines that involve the chest and the arms? A little bit on the back of the shoulders would be good too... (you may also add in any other exercise routines that you feel is necessary).\n\nWhat about protein shakes? Are they necessary to making a person buff? I won't mind getting em though. How often do you need to make em?\n\nOn what I mean buff: Big-sized but not ripped. Tough looking but not fat. Get the pic?\n\nThanks for any help!

Beware the shakes, they can cause heart probs and gall stones.\n\nBest not to obsess on your appearance, I have a friend who looked precisely the way you want to look, but has never married, because the type of girl he attracts looking that way is not the sort he would ever marry.\n\nValue what truly matters (and LOOKS are NOT IT).


she had numerous court dates coming up. and now she found out she's 2 months preg. and is getting an obrtion. where did i go wrong, how can i help her? she has a 1 year old also

She is a perfect girl going through stages in life a tough way. Thank God she is being caught and hopefully it will eventually make her come to her senses and change her pitifull lifestyle. We all learn through mistakes and for sure she will learn thru hers too. Many of us have done this and are now responsible citizens & its only when you have been through it that you really get shaped in life. I for one started drinking (heavily) at 18, had a baby when i was 14, had a number of abortions. Was in and out of home as a teenager, cohabited several times as a teenager and did other more worse things and learnt alot from all these mistakes.  Went back to school, and now a chartered marketeer, doing well, raising my son wonderfully and a devout christian. What am saying is your daughter will get through all this, just be there for her no matter what she does. My Mom loved me though I was what others regarded a rotten girl. She loved me and kept telling me I could do it I wasnt all that bad, and I made it. So hang in there and keep encouraging her. She will change. Above all else pray for her, God wont fail you.


My friend is using this stuff called "ripping gel" it helps to get a six pack (while you still work out of course) and im just curious if it works at all? im thinking about trying some stuff. i have one going on but i want to get it more noticable

All it does is help shed excess water from the area it is rubbed on.  It is a temporary benefit.  But don't tell your friend that.  If it is inspiring him to stick to his workout regime, then it's worth the $50 he paid for it.  Just don't go buying it yourself.


telling you something because i have a feeling that my partner is cheating and these thoughts cause me so much rage inside myself!!! Normally i would not care if they were cheating because i was getting high all the time doing my know thing!! but this time my heart is on the line and it makes me sick to think of this!! i would love to just put a end to the chaos in my head and its not like i can catch them lying i mean i know when they lie but its so often that makes me sick!!!GRRR i'm so angryplease help me in anyway

Listen to your heart and start looking for signs of cheating. I started to have the exact feeling about my ex from 9 years ago. The feeling was very strong and pretty positive. I confronted him, but he just laughed about it. Later he sort of let the cat out of the bag by telling me he was going to hang out with other women and that I should hang out with other men. \nHe wouldn't let me answer the phone, he would get mail from people in the area and hide it, I would come home and find jackets at the house that were not mine, if we went anywhere he would have me drive by the neighborhood floozy's house to see if she was home and things like that. Another thing is, he would sneak out in the middle of the night and think that I didn't know anything about it and one night I was home and this strange car pulled up, I opened the house door and they left in a hurry. \n\nIf he stays out late at night, if is on the internet a lot, if he doesn't let you answer the phone, if he prefers to go out by himself on a frequent basis. Those are some of the red flags. Listen to your heart and be on a look out!

Jesus lived with his Mommy until he was 30.  Jesus didn't date or marry.  Very strange, especially in those days when folks married in their teens.\n\nBy any standards wouldn't a young man be called a Mommy's boy and a failure if the facts were the same?

i guess, i just dont understand why that looser never got with any females, all he ever did was hang out with guys. Thats a bit faggy if ya ask me. Also who really knows what the story is with jesus apparently stuff was lost in translation of the BIBLE over the years. Like the king james version of the bible how it was written in that version to suit the needs of king james and his need to divorce his wife. Whos to say the cult leaders are wrong?? just because protestants and catholics are so commercialized they are accepted as the correct religeons. If you think about it they are cults, its a dude standing in front of a huge audience telling people how to live their lives, and they do it, thats some crazy stuff man. well anyway yeah he was a mammas boy and a bit queer and a bastard if ya think about it cuz where was his biological dad all those years?? Joseph was just a step dad. So? and wouldnt that make mary a bad woman for having gotten pregnant premaritally? so its ok for the holy spirit to spread his seed to unmarried women but humans cant?? wow what a huge contradiction of the bible.\nSo he was a mammas boy bastard failure, cuz the world is still messed up....


One of my embarassing things about me is my stomach hair.  I don't like having sex unless it is dark out or the lights are off because I feel like he will like me less.  I have dark brown hair so it is more noticeable then it would be if I were blonde.  I tried shaving it and that was a mistake because it came back in thicker.  So then I go tanning alot because it makes it less noticeable.  I haven't tried waxing but I want to.  Just haven't got around to it.  So is guys turned off by girls with stomach hair?


I don't really believe that, actually I don't know much about politics in the US but I heard this from my American teacher... I was like.. What??

AMERICA IS ENSLAVED BY TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS. I AM SO SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT READ THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF:\n\n\n\nNow that we live in the age of disinformation, maybe it won't make any difference to you. The ages are getting darker and darker. And I wanted to share with you the following facts: If you agree with me please send them to as many friends of you as possible... \n\nThe transnational companies which are using American government and ARMY to sip oil from Iraq are paying back with some of the money they have earned by selling the oil they have been continuously stealing from Iraq. They will do the same in Iran and Venezuella.\n\nYou won't believe it but some transnational companies are there to force the Yahoo Corp. to delete my questions here. But I am continuously changing my name to hide it from them. Until they find me, thousands of people will have learned that America is no more controlled by its national companies. Transnational companies are a great threat both for America and the world. A transnational company is one that feels no loyalty to any nation. They don’t pay any taxes to any government and they are strong enough to overthrow governments all over the world. For the time being they are using Americans. They threat America by the fact that if they draw their capital and investments from America 25 % of its population will be jobless. \n\nThe fight and the tension between the members of the Senate is in fact a fight between the American and non-American capital owners. Right after the 9/11 the nationalistic or loyal American capital owners became a little bit stronger and passed a decree from the senate to the effect that the central government and the states are to buy their weapons from NATIONAL war industries... But at present non-American capital owners have become stronger enough to sip petroleum out of Iraq by using American ARMY. This is the horrible fact about American Politics and Bush is not loyal to America.\n\nSorry for the terrible English. Wish you prosperity and happiness. I am a mere warrior to enlighten people about facts.… Yes, they are my facts. But believe me they aren’t groundless.


You are most likely to be robbed between 6.pm and 2.am.\nYou are most likely  robbed between 6.pm and 2.am.

They're not quite the same. The infinitive in the first sentence definitely looks into the future and talks about the possibility that an event will happen.\n\nThe second sentence is strange in present tense, but if you said 'You were mostly likely robbed...'

what do you think, should I quit my day job? I was bored and told my friend that if she eats past 7:37 pm then she'll look like a 747. It was just a joke, but ever since then she doesn't eat late at night and is looking slimmer. is this a cheesy line or should i patent it?

you can trademark it, not patent it, but i do think it's catchy :-)


I was in a relationship with a guy for 5 and a half years, we broke up but yet I still love him but not in love with him. But we have been through so much together. Then this other guy I was talking to him for 5 months but he has trust issues and I love him to death. They both care for me and they show it. My ex shows me by buying me gifts and providing me with whatever I need while the other just gives me the conversation, love, and anything if I ask for it. I'm stuck in the middle and don't know if I should go back to my ex or start with something new. PLease help me! I really need if. If you have any questions or I left out something just ask.

I understand about still loving your ex, I was married and when i got divorced I remained good friends with my ex, we still love each other but are no longer in love. This has been hard for many people to accept. It is the general opinion that you should hate your ex when you break up, I disagree, if  we didn't get along well then i never would have loved him in the first place. when people tell me that i am wrong for having my ex husband as my best friend I tell them to suck eggs. \nI don't think you should go back to your ex if you are not in love with him anymore, however I see no reason to stop loving and being friends with him.\nAs for the new guy, its a sticky situation, jealously and trust issues always are. I refuse to be in a relationship with someone with trust issues because its too stressful. For me it has to be perfect love AND perfect trust or I get out as fast as i can.

alopecia areata means that your hair falls than grows back and than falls etc..(acutally getting bald)My friend has alopecia and she is really depressed she keeps saying she is ugly !and she is NOT ugly ,she always says that no guy well ever love her,what can i do to make her feel better? and i know she well find her guy one day.

I like shaving my head and I think it can look nice even on girls. I like women with long hair in general but some women can look very sexy without hair too. (Natalie Porman looks realy nice with or without hair). So I wouldn't mind dating a nice girl without hair if she has a good heart is romantic and kind. I would prefer her not to wear a wig though. It's not natural. So yea depending on her looks and personality a bald girl can be very sexy. I hope this can healp. I wish her good luck .

What's wrong with your question? Nothing so long as you are satisfied with it


A student in lab has 7.00 g of pure N2 in 1.26 g pure H2. The reaction happens following this equation:\nN2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)\nHow many grams of NH3 would be produced?

here, you need to apply the concept of limiting reagent.\n\nhere, N2 is limiting reagent. \n\nSo, if 28 gm (molar mass of N2)nitrogen would give you 34 gm of (molar masss of 2NH3) ammonia.\n\nSo, 3 gm (given) nitrogen would give you how many?\n\n = (7 * 34)/ 28\n\n = 8.5 gm of ammonia.

Why do we have eyelashes and even eybrows?

The eyebrow is a bony ridge above the eye that protects the eye and bears a tuft of facial hair in most mammals. The function of the eyebrow hair is to prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing sense of something near the eye, and prevent water or sweat from dripping into the eye.\n\nAn eyelash or simply lash is one of the hairs that grow at the edge of the eyelid. Eyelashes protect the eye from debris and perform some of the same function as whiskers do on a cat or a mouse in the sense that they are sensitive to being touched, thus providing a warning that an object (such as an insect or dust mote) is near the eye (which is then closed reflexively).


Coefficients of (x+n)^p can be found using pascal's triangle very easily..\nis there any such easy way to find coefficients of (x+n)^(-p)...\ni know it will be an infinite series...but still... i need to find first few coeff for applying very quickly in my exams...\nhope i get an answer soon...\nthnx in advance

It can be done using Taylor series (see first attached article)\n\nFunction f(x) can be approximated near some point x_0 by a sum of such series:\nf(x_0) + \n+ (x-x_0) * f'(x_0)/1! +\n+ (x-x_0)^2 * f''(x_0)/2! + \n+ (x-x_0)^3 * f'''(x_0)/3! + ...\n\nHowever, as you can see from section "List of Taylor series of some common functions" of first article, and section "Newton's generalized binomial theorem" of second article, binomial formula is correct not only for positive, but also for negative or even for complex p!\n\n\nThe only thing you need to do is generalize the concept of bnomial coefficients.\nUsually, they are counted as:\nC(n,m) = n!/(m!(n-m)!), but factorial are defined only for positive integers.\n\nUsing an alternative defiinition it becomes possible to operate with any real n:\nC(n,m) = n * (n-1) * (n-2) *...* (n-k+1) / k!.\nEasy to see, that for positive integer n those formulas are equivalent.

The first answer is great but you can also pursue research and development within the pharmaceutical companies. The pay in that sector is great and you do not have to 1)deal with customer service like a pharmacist 2)deal with competitive sales like a pharmacy rep.


in some of my past questions, people have not been using their brains\nthey keep asking me things or commenting on things that aren't necessary\nwhy are people so single-minded?\n(no-offense, but yea)

They haven't learned to take their time and focus on what is in front of them.  Most people are thinking about what's happening in their own lives....what happened last week and what might happen next week.  Forget about today and this minute.\n\nWhen they realize they are missing today while they're thinking ahead and behind, they may try to focus better and be able to understand the question and think up an answer.  It takes a while with most people.


my wife spent 13000 in 5 months and tells me she is saving i dont see it when that much is being spent with no bills

Yes that is alot. Unless she purchased a car or put a down payment on a house or something like that $13,000 is a lot of money to spend in 5 months. Maybe not for people who are rich but for most people I know that's a huge amount.


What are 4 mathematicians who have worked with trigonometric functions and what did they do? And whats the difference between "plane trigonometry" and "spherical trigonometry"?

mikii, that's rude, though vinyl is rude and opportunistic as well. shut up if u dont have any answer.\n\nEuclide?\n\nAnyway, plane geometry is also called Euclidean geometry. this is a geometry where 2 parallel line never ever intercept and triangles alway have 180 degree of internal angles. u can imagine it as geometry on a flat plane as we know it. As for spherical geometry, 2 parallel lines do cross and the inside angle of a triangle is larger than 180 degree. how much larger depends on the curvature of the plane and the area of the triangle. U can imagine this geometry as one of the surface of a sphere. Spherical geometry is also called elliptic geometry.\n\nAnother popular geometry is called a hyperbolic. it's a geomtry of the pseudosphere. it's triangles have inside angles of less than 180 degree and 2 parallel line never intercept.


It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

This is for a sociology class, so please scholarly answers only.

Your sexual orentation is considered part of your morals.. And because morals are based more on Socail Norms. If you don't fit the Social Norms then you are not considered a moral person...\nNow in a court when a crime is commited much of the consideration between right and wrong is based off of your moral stands and beliefs... (A man poching is more likly to get the charges dropped if it is the middle of winter and his famly is starving... He committed a crime for a morally right reason.)\n\nSo if you are shown to be a nonmoral person then the impact of what you say has less meaning. Non moral people are considered as liers and such. Thats why a lawer will always try to discredit someone when they are on the stand so what they say doesn't have a very big impact on the case.


he was very peaceful however he advocated a separation between whites and blacks. he urged blacks to start their own organizations and reject regular, white based culture to make their own unique one. He was a freedom rider as well.


ok...my friend had a pimple on her face so i nicely told her about it when no one was around right..well  she gets pissed off with me because she says i shouldnt have mentioned that and that she already knew..well i told her that sometimes they pop up unexspectly..and she still was pissed! i was being nice!!!

Don't worry she will be fine in a couple of days. Evryone has little arguements like this. You did the right thing in telling her and I just think she took it the wrong way and is way to sensitive. Anyway who cares if you have a pimple? It doesn't really seem a big deal to me, but I hope I help!

Have you ever cheated on an exam?  Intentionally looking at someone else's paper to get the correct answer that you didn't know.

No, I have not. Cheating is not fun or getting something over on the teacher and your parents. Cheating is only hurting yourself. Instead of cheating, you should have studied every night throughout the year so that you would know the material of the course and all you would have to when the teacher announced that it was time for finals would be to review the material. This does mean waiting until the last minute and staying up all night studying or having some friends over ostensibly to study but instead partying all night until the early hours of the morning so that nobody knows anything the next day. When you take a course in high school or college or even elementary school, it is wrong to cheat because as I said earlier you are only hurting yourself; you're mot hurting anybody else.

Why do pure yellow lights cause sensation in our eyes' green and red receptors whereas they really are not composed of red and green? What is similar with pure yellow lights and composed yellow(Red+Green) lights?\nThank you

Simple answer:\n\nThe rods and cones in our eyes pick up on the different waves in light. The primary colors of light are:\nGreen\nRed\nBlue\nWith the combination of these different wavelengths of light we can get any of the other colors including yellow.\n\nPigments work different. Whereas the colors we recieve from  TV's and lightbulbs is by the combination or "addition" of wavelengths of light, pigmentation occurs by "subtraction" of light and it also has different primary colors. The primary colors of pigments (any object is seen by pigments whereas a TV's colors works by wavelenths of light rather than pigments) are:\nYellow\nBlue \nRed\nAnd those colors are seen by subtration meaning the light hits the particular object and every color gets absorbed except whatever color get reflected and that is the color we see.\n\nhope this helps.


yes, as long as you cite sources and don't plagarize!!


im thinking of dropping out of high school and getting my GED, is there any disadvantaged of haveing a GED insted of a high school diploma? would college still be an option if i had a GED?

Because a GED means that you quit. Even if you had a good reason to quit, you quit. A high school diploma means that you persevered even when you didn't want to. You saw it through. That said, there are many people who quit because of hardships in their homes. They often need to get out and away from a bad situation. They have to work to support themselves. Then later, these people go back and get their GED. They can go to community college and finally earn college degrees. So, it's not over for those people that have to quit and get GEDs. But you don't sound one of them. I commend you for thinking rationally about it before just doing it and not showing up for school anymore. Your life would be simpler if you just saw high school to it's finish. Best wishes to you.

The only equipment I have is two 5 lb weights. What's the best ab workout/dance/pilates moves that target the abs? Thanks!

Stomach crunches (Don't do sit ups), there are many sites that give AB exercises, with pictures. The secret to good ABS is to burn body fat. (The muscles are covered in layers of fat, in all of us). \nYou'll need to take up something like jogging/running to burn off the fat. You need to Jog for at least 40 Min's then do your AB workout. Do this 4 times a week. \nCombined with a low fat diet you should see results in 2 weeks. \nGood luck.

is anyone on lexapro? i have been for a month. helping you or no? please share.

I've been on Lexapro for a little over a year. I took Wellbutrin XR briefly, but went back to the Lexapro. I plan to ween off of the medication here in a few months. It has helped tremendously. I was a mess, unable to do the basic functions of my job. I know part of it is chemical, but the medication has helped me better understand and cope with life. It is a way of living, of dealing that I will be able to continue once the medicine is gone. \n\nGood luck, sweetheart.


Well there is this guy he made-out with me on the bus and well he had a girlfriend and he didn't tell me. O.K. so now well his girl brokeup with him and alot of people tell me why I did that but I didn't know. Well anyways now it as been now 2 months and people still remeber and now I like this other guy but he dosen't know I exsiet so now the guy that did something to me wants to be with me. And I still remeber his kisses and everthing. What should I do Go with Daniel the guy that didn't do nonthing to me or Jesus the one who did something to me.

there is always a thin line and a very weak one actually that could be badly broken when we do intimate encounters with people that at first failed to be honest with us in terms of how his or her personal life is....for the start that Jesus didn't told you that he was with someone at first makes him someone "hard to trust" since hey he might do this same situation with another girl if he is with you...but, that is a point that you have to discuss with him that you might, maybe, perhaps could be with him if he can be trust worthy enough in his actions with you as "friends" FIRST....if there is people making you feel like you were the cause of the broken relationship of Jesus with his girlfriend, be sure that that is FALSE, since it was Jesus and Jesus's actions that put off tracks his relationship, so don't feel guilty and too much worried about it, of course always keep your self steem high and up front, because well people loves to talk to much.....in the case for Daniel, you might then to look ways without been to pushy into showing him that you are trust worthy and a good intentioned girl, look for small moments where you can ask him looking into his eyes "how are you doing?" and give him a warm smile so he can see that you care for his wellbeing, don't panic if he is not so sweet responding, it will take a while until he can see that you are a really good girl for him to be with, just be clear that if he is not then responding as you hope, don't feel let out, guys are quite complicated when they are studying a girl...the important thing here is that you know yourself best and your actions, be wise and loving to you first that the rest will come along... Good Luck


i got a lot of answers... tnx... but some of them defended mary to be venerated. like what praised?? we dont ask for any protection from any1 who is not existing... mary is dead, cant hear...talk...niether have the power like God to be present anywhere.. why still the need to call her and the saints...tnx...

mary cant be called as god......because it was jesus christ who was resurrected not mary its jesus christ who will save our souls but not mary. she just had a lil part in the bible but look where false prophets brought her

I think it is a great book and very true.  I really think that most people who are destined to hell, would prefer it much more than heaven.  It is like what is shown in the book of Revelations in the Bible.  Even though people know that the plagues and punishments were being given to them from God, due to their disobedience and sinfulness, they cursed God and still did not repent from their sins.  It is a sad commentary on the selfishness and sinfulness of mankind.  C. S. Lewis is a great author with a great grasp on the human condition!

Such as, a traffic misdemeanor, or suspision. I'm wondering at what cost would it be better left alone.

When the dangers of the pursuit out way the need for apprehension for a particular crime it should be discontinued.  Generally speaking one should not pursue for a minor infraction, or misdemeanor.  However, when someone chooses to run from the police, they should make every attempt to end the pursuit as quickly as possible using alternative techniques to disable the suspects vehicle.


If an employee accumulates 3 points within 90 days then he or she will earn some sort of disciplinary action. Can I set up a formula to count only every 90 days and still keep track of their total attendance? Thanks in advance! \n\nAdditional Details\n\nThe data is populated as employees on the left (A) and the dates they have been absent on the right (column headers).Each employee has two rows. One on top is the date they were absent and underneath that date are points that they accumulated that day. Each employee earns a point or points to the right of their name when they are absent, etc.. The total points accured are talleyed beside their name. It does start on the first infraction.

When the United States Senate declared English the NATIONAL LANGUAGE of the United States of America, Reid stated that this patriotic decision was a RACIST ACT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Of course, we all know what he is really doing.  He is pandering to the hispanic voters in Nevada, and he couldn't care less about the ultimate fate of our country.

Harry Reid should be kicked out of office. This is American we speak English you either learn it and speak it or get out of our ENGLISH speaking country.


I don't think people should slam themselves or others. Wicked is out there though.

People call themselves names for several different reasons. Very smart person! There is ALOT of wicked out there, Satan is trying to pull on us every day! People generally do this because of low self esteem, they don't feel any better about themselves, or they do it in front of someone hoping they will tell them different, to get some positive feedback about themselves, that the are truly worthy. If you have a friend like this , they are HIGH maintanence, but DON'T Give UP! Be strong for them if you can! You sound like a caring person and that is just what this person needs, it sounds like this person may have been put down alot in their lives, and this is what is left "after the dust settled". It's sad, but hold tight! YOU may be able to make a difference, point out their GOOD points and why, they may be an injured person, and I am speaking from experience from my heart. You cared enough to write in, God Bless You, you are a caring person, remember that and stick to this person, This made me cry, I am one of those people, I wish I had a friend like you!


Did the female tell her man she needed three cheetah skins to make her dress. The man says " Do you know how fast those cheeta's go? How am I supposed to get three cheetah skins?" And the woman would say "If you loved me you would find a way!" No sex until I get them. And the status symbol was born...

Fashion is a kind of abstract term, but needing to appeal more to the stronger hunters was in a females interest. She had a much better chance of survival if the man was able to hunt bigger and stronger game. Therefore using apparel to appeal to men has probably been apart of female mentality for at last 70,000 years... Yes.


Sorry to be so direct, but I've noticed, especially with thicker pads, that this can happen. Am I alone or have other women here had this experience? Which pads work best? (I can't believe I am asking, but I a just so curious).

Nope never had that problem. I use bodyform ultra, they are only 3mm thick. the new generation ones with secure fit are the best I have ever used.

It seems when things get tense we always imagine the worst will happen to our marriage.  It doesn't have to just because someone else did it.  We can always get past a tough point.  Maybe you just need more time together.


I want to take college online (like homeschool) b/c i want to get a family started, but i cant find any that you can go to straight out of high school. Do you have any suggestions?\n-must be a credible college-

There are quite a few on line universities any more depending on what you want to learn. Two, i recommend are DeVry & the U. of Phoenix, both fully accredited.  Many of your local universities/community colleges offer at home classes, too. If it is a business degree you want there are a bunch of those entities available too, but i would call your local library's business & info center to check their accreditations as well as the BBB for any complaints on them


If so, when did you win?\nHow much did you win?\nAnd what did you do with the money?\nIf you have not won, answer these questions as you would if it did happen...

No, but I know a guy who won 5 million in the California Lottery. He showed me the newspaper with his photo and headlines trumpeting "The Five Million Dollar Man".\n\nWhen I met him he was working double shifts pumping gas. He was spending about $300 a week on more lottery tickets. "I know I can do it again!" he insisted. \n\nApparently he blew through 5 million dollars in a couple of years with the aid and assistance of a beautiful 'girlfriend'. \n\nGood luck, Mike! I know you can do it again. Well, at least I HOPE you can! No one will be able to convince you otherwise.\n\nTrue. Sad but true. There's a lesson to be learned here. BTW, anyone need a limo to Atlantic City or Foxwood Casino? The odds are much better there!


If so let me know, and while we're at it, is there one for Syphilis?

Genital warts are caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). There are over 100 different kinds of HPV, only a few though cause genital warts.\n\nThere are a few ways to get rid of the warts, but HPV will stay with you the rest of your life because it is a virus. The warts can come back. You can have them lasered off, frozen off, or use topical medication (creams). Aldara cream is very useful, but very powerful. You are only suppose to use it 3 days a week because you can get 2nd and 3rd degree burns from it. Unfortunately the only way to get Aldara is by going to the doctor and getting a prescription.\n\nAs for syphillis, antibiotic treatment with penicillin will usually cure a syphilis infection. If syphilis has progressed to the tertiary stage, antibiotics can prevent further complications, but they cannot reverse damage that has already occurred. Prompt antibiotic treatment will decrease complications and prevent the spread of the infection.\n\nHope this helped!

I need him talking, not singing. I'm acting as Charlie Manson in a one man show and I'd like to see some footage of him to accuratly portray his character.

Well you asked for it and here you go. Be sure to have a program that can read .rm (real audio) files. It is about his entire life and I am sure it has clips of him talking at different times of his life.


or something similar... could you describe the experience? \n(just what you wish to share...)\n\nwhen?  how often?  is there an antidote?

Okay. I never have. I have never MET anyone that has. Have read a lot ON the subject, and it seems like 99% of it is horse-hockey. Either that, or the people that know how to summon them, are selfishly keeping it to themselves. lol! Generally speaking, they are a type of low-level earth spirit. And it's never a really wise choice to summon these beings, as them taking an interest in you can be a BAD thing. :) However, if you are insistent upon trying, there are many web sites that will give you descriptions of how to go about the summoning. It would be up to you to decide which are most helpful in your quest. A general google query under "summoning succubus" should get you started.


I like the sounds of a steel guitar. The Eclectic guitars of Rock. The brass sounds from Jazz and big band. The piano of classical music. (rap? not even with a gun to my head!)

I'm interesting in what actually caused the universe to come into being, and if it originated from some super-dense chunk of matter, what caused it to first explode and be put into motion.  I personally believe in Creation, but I want to hear an intelligent, non-insulting argument from a scientific standpoint so that I can better understand.\n\nAlso, if anyone has an alternative viewpoint about the origin of the universe, please feel free to respond.  I'm not necessarily looking for an answer that I agree with, just a well-informed one.

First of all, the Big Bang theory does not address how the universe actually got started. It describes how the universe has been since that point. And it is remarkably well established for times after about 1 millisecond after things got started. The universe is expanding and went through a period of very fast expansion early on. The temperature has been decreasing since the start which was about 13.7 billion years ago.\n\nHow things actually got started is *much* more specualtive. There are two main ways that people approach this, but I want to emphasize that neither is actually part of the Big Bang theory and that both are *very* specualtive. We simply don't have the data to figure out what happened before that first millisecond or so.\n\nThe first approach is to point out that time itself is part of the fabric of the universe. It is not something idependent. Part of the nature of the Big Bang in general relativity is that it is a 'singularity'. An analagous thing would be to look at the north pole. This is a singularity in the coordinate system of latitude and longitude. You can't go 'north of the north pole'. In a very similar way, the time coordinate cannot be extended (in this approach) past the Big Bang. This means there is no 'before the Big Bang'. Time simply doesn't make sense at that point.\n\nThe other main approach is to say that the singularity predicted by general relativity doesn't happen because of smoothing out by quantum effects. This *could* allow the time coordinate to extend past the Big Bang (but it doesn't have to). In this scenario, the Big Bang was a quantum fluctuation that 'got out of hand' and underwent exponential growth becoming the universe. The beginning was random since such quantum events are random (this is known and established). However, there would be physical laws describing the probabilities of such things happening. In this approach, there can be multiple universes that don't interact and that have various physical properties different than our own.\n\nI hope this helps!


I know the forth finger nex to pinky on left hand is for the wedding ring but what about the other fingers and do they have any special meaning

You can wear any rings on any finger you want. Some girls like it, some girls don't. They are just rings! Experiment, see which ones look best where and with what. I don't think the others have special meanings, but just like women guys can wear rings as much, and how often as they like. People say you shouldn't stuff them, it's your life! x


I would like to find a good primary care physician and an orthopedist.  I had a bad experience with a doctor when I had knee surgery, and I would like to avoid that.  Any suggestions for finding a good doc?

PCP's are tougher to find than a good specialist because there's not real way of doing it other than referral by friends and family.  Of couse they are not really qualified to render a professional opinion so you're kind of shooting in the dark with that approach.\n\nYou can check the board of medicine in your area to get certin information on PCP and Specialist.  You'll at least get if they've been sued often, if their license has be suspended, etc.  which is useful in judging how good they are. Couple that information with the opinions above and you're in a better position than most people are when they make a choice.\n\nSpecialists are easier to find by looking at hospitals that have specialized practices.  They tend to attact the best, who charge the most, who atract the most patients, who drive revenue to the bottom line.  These types of institutions don't want shoddy workmanship to ruin their reputation or potential for growth.


Is there anyone out there that enjoyed the movie Cereal Mom that starred Kathleen Turner?  What was your favorite scene?  I like the part where she came out of the bathroom with her daughter's date's liver on the fireplace poker.

i think i watched that movie more then a hundered times. there are so many parts in it i count as my fav. here are some.... when scottie was in his room and got caught  doing u know what, when she killed the old bat with a leg of lamb, when she made her prank phone calls,when th pervert was looking under the table during the trial. oh yeah and when she killed the old couple that was nagging her husband and last but not least when she tried to tourch scotty on stage and every one was cheering for her. loooooool... yeah i know i'm a looser. but i am glad some one else loved that movie as much as me. i mean they should make a sequel to it or something. like her son goes buts and kills ricki lake is it me or was she just annoying in that movie.


A tariff is a tax on imported goods. When a ship arrives in port a customs officer inspects the contents and charges a tax according to the tariff formula. Since the goods cannot be landed until the tax is paid it is the easiest tax to collect, and the cost of collection is small.

It's a classic musical about a pajama factory in iowa.

Yes and there is a new production on Broadway now with Harry Connick Jr. as the male lead.  The musical originally debuted on Broadway in 1954 and was made in to a motion picture starring Doris Day in 1958.


I have lived here about 2 years and I have no friends here yet. I have tried volunteering for things, joining groups and even getting a part time job as a cashier. Nothing is working, maybe people in SE Idaho aren't interested in expanding their social circles.

You are doing it all correctly.  It takes time as small towns are quiet, people are content with less, and to my knowledge small towns are not sizzling society parties.  I moved to just such a small town from a large city.  Lower your expectations.  Continue what you ar doing, keep a nice garden others will enjoy and complement upon.  Take a plate full of cookies or some fresh fruit to a neighbor( do not expect much other than thank you).  Smile at everyone, Join a local church. You must be patient as newbies in small towns are suspect(they think why did this person move to this small town?).  You are doing just fine.........

What are the effects of Pilates & how is it different from Yoga?\nI am not fat, but I do have a little bit of extra fat on my thighs & butt - will Pilates help?\nWill Pilates give me a healthy heart?\nHow often & for how long should I do it?

Yes, I started taking Pilates about 2 months ago and I have noticed big results. Pilates is different from Yoga in that you are doing a more active exercise, although a lot of the poses are the same. You should be consistant with you exercise routine, I go twice per week in addition to two days of yoga per week. Pilates builds your core strenth and helps with circulation.\nAs with any healthy lifestyle, I suggest when starting Pilates that you cut out all sodas and drink only water for about 6 weeks. You'll notice a big change there as well!


I need to create a comp network for my home. What are the best websites to go to for instruction. I also need to have one computer in control of the others. Any help would be great. Thanks!

The best site to use would be the manufacturers website, becuase that's where you'll get detailed info on how to configure the equipment. Now to get an idea of what you will have to do to get started, read a couple of these articles: \nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+setup+a+home+network&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official


i'm over wait and i want to loose 80 pounds

First of all, you need the will. You have to really be determined and you need to WANT to really really passionately lose weight. It is like quitting smoking, unless you put your mind to it, it aint gonna work. Do a lot of cardio and change your diet. Stay away from heavy carbs and fast food. Eat more lean meat and veggies. Fruits contain sugar so I would stay away from that for now. Low carbs, high protein, maintain a balance portion throughout your daily eating habit, and do cardio exercise.


Check out my 360 page for a slideshow. Have a beautiful day!

Well, the first impression was "I don't get this".  Then I looked closer, the paintings spoke to me and they're nothing short of brilliant.\n\nYour portraits show harmony and flow with an underlying confusion that perhaps says in whorls and swirls more about the person than what a first glance affords.  There is simplicity along with a touch of madness and I couldn't help thinking "Van Gogh" when I looked at some of them.\n\nHowever, those inspired by your travels left me gape jawed in wonderment.  I totally get it.  They should be in a metropolitan gallery, not on a 360 page.  In particular: View of the Sea, Soul City, Paris, Sideways - stunning and brillliant.  Flaminco Dancer - the movement captured in a stunning rendition of other worldly type of delight.\n\nBravo to the artist!  I'll add that you're not hard on the eyes yourself, sonny boy.


The only people who tolerate his flaming gay sissy fit behavior are the Maverick fans. Go Spurs Go!!!! Beat them Mavs; then lose to the Suns.  Suns vs. Detroit. Detroit in 5.

killed, and collect the money on your life.

I worked in life insurance and annuity administration a couple years ago.  Here's how it goes:  Not just anybody can take a policy on you.  There has to be a matter of insurable interest; meaning that if you die, there will be financial burden to the beneficiary of the policy (this can be family or possibly a business, estate, etc...).  This prevents people 'betting' someone is going to die, then cashing in the policy.  Generally, immediate family members can be the owner and beneficiary of the insurance policy, but the insured must acknowledge somewhere on the application they are aware there is insurance taken out on them.  Unless they are a minor.  That is another explanation.  \n\nHope this helps.
