I'm trying to not file for bankruptcy.  Overdraft protection is the only thing keeping me from making late or no payments at all on my bills and that's nearly maxed out.  I'm in huge cc debt, apppr 35k, and bankruptcy seems like the easiest way out and to feel like a person again.  I want to try and fight my way out of this mess if I can.  I would like to see if a service can help me but know there's a lot of scams out there.  Is CCCS a debt consolidation service like Debtco or are they two different things?  How do I go about finding  a fair and reputable service?  What types of questions should I ask?  I'm near Portland, OR. Anyone have a suggestion of where to find a good service or lawyer (if bnkrp is in the future)?  \n\nAlso, is a charge off really that much better or different than filing for bankruptcy?  What's the difference when it comes to your credit report and how it is viewed by potential lenders? \n\n\n\nTIA

If you feel the moral obligation to repay some of your debts over time, you might consider a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  I consider debt consolidationn services to be worthless.  Contact a local bankruptcy for further assistance.


To reduce your waist size, it is important to:\n\n1. Regulate your food intake. Refrain from too much food.\n\n2. Perform cardio-vascular exercises (aerobics) to reduce total body fat (that includes waist fat). For men, it is easy to gain or lose fat in the waist area. Yeah, badminton is a good aerobocs exercise...swimming...jogging...brisk walking...cycling...sprinting...Taebo...Etc.\n\n3. For better abdominal muscle tone, do strength & resistance training exercises, like abs crunches.\n\n4. For total body conditioning, do stretching, bending exercises.\n\n5. For mind and body conditioning, do yoga...

is there a reason why guys treat women so badly?I mean they are dating 1 yet in the end they just hurt them after they say they would never hurt u.and then it turns out that they lied about everything.Can any1 give me some advice?

As a man, I am inclined to say that is a typical female question. However, If you are a woman, or man for that matter, and you feel like the opposite sex just does not treat you right, you need to look at your situation.\nAre you the type of person who attracts the type of man/woman who is a dominant, and domineering person?\nRelationships are two sided. Both partners must be equal in the relationship. You must give 110 % of your attention to it, as well as the man/woman must devote 110 % to the relation ship. \nI have found that women or men for that matter who ask this question, usually do not like to step out of their comfort zone, in order to find a meaningful and fullfilling life with another person. \nYou are addicted to being abused or treated horribly. You are the only one who can change this. Either by going to couselling, or leaving him?her? and finding someone in a completely different environment. A Church singles activity, or,at a grocery store?\nMore often than not most people who ask this question, tend to frequent night clubs and local bars. Alcohol clouds a persons ability to make sound judgements in a relationship. especially new ones. \nIs it love? Is it lust? More often times it is the second that is masked as the first. Think about it. I have been married for almost 13 years now. I love my wife more today than yesterday. I will continue to grow in that love as we grow together. She is my world, my everything. We fight, and argue, but we do it constructively, we apologize for hurtful things said, and we make love to each other to reinforce the apology on top of making love on a regular basis.\nLengthy answer but I hope it helps.\nDavey Boy


This maybe really gross but i have callouses on my feet and i have no idea on how to get rid of them without going to a doctor. can anybody help me?

get a pumice stone and rub it over your feet while in the shower. It helps remove dead skin. It will eventually soften the callouse but it will take more than one using. There are also callouse removers available that look like a small bandage that you place on top of the callouse. It has a medicine in it that helps the dead skin dissolve

The term "ADHD" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIt is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric or pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "ADHD" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".\n\n"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.\n\n"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.\n\nSuch behavioural characteristics that Psychiatry created this unscientific "disease" from are, and always have been, generally considered NORMAL. Now, it seems, inattention or "hyperactivity" (Hyperactivity means 'excessively active'* -- what is excessive? On whose authority?? It's ridiculous!!) is abnormal, a "mental illness".\n\nFor a rundown of the exact diagnostic criteria of "attention deficit disorder" visit: http://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/diagnosticcriteria.msnw\n\nFor information on the junkscience behind psychiatric "testing" for "ADHD" visit: http://adhdtesting.org/\n\nFor a list of what inattention COULD be attributed to (rather than some fraudulent "mental illness") visit: http://adhdparentssupportgroup.homestead.com/50conditionsmimicingADHD.html\n\nFor more information, see;\n\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/addadhd.msnw\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters/adhdfacts.msnw\nhttp://www.adhdfraud.org/\nhttp://www.ritalindeath.com/\nhttp://cchr.org/files/7515/child_drug_EN.pdf\nhttp://www.ablechild.org/\n\n\n--\n\n"We are not "overdrugging" or misdiagnosing" ADHD. ADHD is a total, 100 percent fraud. The many millions of schoolchildren around the world who are being drugged have no disease." Fred Baughman, Jr., M.D. Child Neurologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.\n\n"Parents are seldom told that Ritalin is ‘speed’—that it is pharmacologically classified with amphetamines, has the same effects, side effects, and risks. Yet this is well-known in the profession...." Dr. Peter R. Breggin & Ginger Ross Breggin, The War Against Children, P. 84.\n\n"...But because ADD is so vaguely defined, even for a psychiatric disorder, it is tailor-made for bogus claims.

We were at the pool today and my son asked why the rest of his skin didn't get all wrinkly like the palms of his hands and soles of his feet.  I said... "Ummmm....." "I'll look it up on the internet tonight and let you know."  SO, can anyone shed some light on this subject?  Please?!  :)  \nThanks!

we have a epidermis layer on our body. in the hand the layer is thin.\nwe also have sweat glands all over the body.\nwhen we are in water for long time there is diffusion of the water from the fingers to the water source. \nso there is wrinkeling taking place

I started dating again awhile back and met girl, but she was a trainwreck. So I figured that I was supposed to be with lunatics,please help! There's got to be someone here in Boston for me, Please give me some advise on how to meet someone nice. To give you a description of me I'm 6 foot 3 with brown hair and blue eyes. Thanks beedger73@verizon.net

Why did you lose your confidence?  Was she THAT crazy?  I don't think that you are suppose to be with a lunatic. Unless . . . are you crazy?  ; - }  Just kidding.  Maybe you should spend some time on doing things that you enjoy.  If you meet a woman with the same intrests, you may find her less, trainwreck-ish!

Is there any way I can get workers comp to pay for my surgery

Well, I'm sure it could, but I find it hard to believe that you held down your head for 8 hours/day for 10 years.  Sounds like you are trying to "build a case" for worker's comp.  Ruptured disc usually caused by injury.


WOw i got some bad answers on that japanese language study question!!!\n\nLike i never thought of buying a book and going to japan!?!?!\n\nyall tired?

Hmm...gee buddy, your so freakin' smart I am sure you already figured this one out. I think you're a moron by the way, and you wonder why Americans mock you? Because people like you start fights with your asinine comments, and people like me just don't give a damn about your retarded questions. If you stopped being such an a$$hole you would probably get better responses. You are not special, you are not cool. And I hope this made you really angry.


What is your opinion on this holiday? Personally, I believe that love is something that should be expressed every day, in the little things. To put aside one day for love ruins the fun! What do you think?

Yes, it's mostly for those that will make a profit and yes we're showing love hopefully to the ones we love always but, i think it had more meaning for me when i was a little kid.You do remember when we use to bring candy and cards to school and that was a way to tell the one you liked.


* absence of Shoaib Akhtar\n* inzi's bad captaincy \n* luck\nor india is just too good & strong for them??

India were now started to play a different level of cricket. They are started to shifts positions of the batting order. And this makes the opponents in a dilema. And the teams major players like sachin, yuvraj, dhoni, dravid were in fantastic form now. \n\nI would say the pakistanis need to mentally strong they were easily losing their confidence, because of that they are not fighting until the end, and they giving it up easily


Can they receive Section 8 or welfare  benefits for themselves and their child? Would they be forced to return to their country with the child? Is citizen status of child enough to gain any benefits?

They are entitled to a limited number of benefits because the US will not take away the child from you (don't worry about that unless you prove that you are terrible parents) Anyway returning to the question - Since the child was born in the US is thus a US citizen. You can confirm that because the child will be issued a Birth Certificate by the state and a Social Security Number by the SS Office. \n\nBased on your income your child and for a certain period of time the mother can qualify for medical aid by the govt. You need to get in touch with the hospital's social workers or the local Social Services Department office. Do that ASAP as the child will need doctor's visits and routine shots. \n\nThere are also programs such as Food Stamps and such that will help in the financial for taking care of the child. In case the parents visas expire and have to return back to their country, they can take the baby with them. Just ensure that you have with you the ss, birth certificate, (I am not sure about the US passport though). \n\nBut rest assured worrying about the citizenship should not be the biggest concern as much as the care of both the "little baby" and the mother. Good luck. \n\nIt's still good if you can ask an immigration attorney (remember the first visit is always free @ least in the tri-state).


if you break into a bankrupt place that has not been working for a year and it has already been broke into the glass is broken all over and you can easily go in and there are samples of stuff that was sold there? there is a waterpark in my neighbourhood it went bankrupt last year and i was walking by with smy friend we saw candy scattered outside so we took some and itr was ok so we decided to go in for fun and see whats there everything was taken down all the ride parts it was empty but all the merch they sold like shirts, caps swim stuff was there so we took loads to sell or i dont know what else to do with it and i was just wondering...the bills and invoices and all the bank papers were scattered everywhere! we thought of coming back to tape the place and mae an article for the school new paper but do you think the cameras still worked if they had any?

anytime you take something that isn't yours or take something that you didn't pay for well then thats stealing no matter what the unusual circumstances are.  just because someone else broke the glass and started the robbery, you are still a accomplice cause you jumped in and took part.  it's called an accessory .....charged with possession of stolen property or maybe recieving stolen property.  any way you look at it...it would be smarter for you not to get involved with things of this nature.  try making better choices,  your future depends on it.  GOOD LUCK!


i know a few JW's are they the true religion like they believe or is it another one of those bogus religion who believe they are?

HEY, FRANK, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT MAKES SENSE, & I BELIEVE I KNOW WHY?\n\nTHE OTHER ONE'S WITH & ANSWER, DO NOT KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT "JW" OR THEY DID SOMETHING CONTRARY TO BIBLE PRINCIPLES & THEY WERE DISFELLOWSHIPED.\n\nAS YOU KNOW WHEN A PERSON IS DISFOLLOWSHIPED, THEY ARE NOT BROUGHT BEFORE THE CONGREGATION, IT IS SIMPLY ANNOUNCED FROM THE PLATFORM, AND NEVER ON SUNDAY.\n\nANOTHER MISCONCEPTION IS, THEY HAVE NEVER PREDICTED THE END OF THE WORLD, THEY DID SAY THAT 1975 WAS 6000 YRS. FROM ADAM, BUT MANY BIBLE SCHOLARS WORLD WIDE THAT ARE NOT "JW" HAVE SAID THIS.\n\n"forever" HAS THE RIGHT IDEA, JOHN 17:3 WHICH SAYS:  " This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ"\nWho is Jesus praying to?  His father, and what does he say?  Father you are the TRUE GOD, If Jesus is God, was he praying to himself, of course not, but the Son of God could pray to his father.\n\nA "CULT" has a man leader, I have been a "JW" for 48 yrs. & I have no human leader.\n\nJEHOVAH’S WITNESSES recognize no man as their leader. Their organizational structure has no equivalent of the pope of the Roman Catholic Church, the patriarchs of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, or the leaders of other churches and sects of Christendom. Their allegiance is to Jesus Christ, the Head of the Christian congregation, who stated: “Your Leader is one, the Christ.”—Matthew 23:10.\n\nYou can only have one TRUE RELIGION, can you can show me from the Bible were Jehovah God has ever used more than one organization at any given time.  Paul said the true religion would be doing these 4 things, if a religion does not conform to these 4 things, then it cannot be the true religion.   ¶Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.\n\nJehovah's Witnesses have 97,000 congregations, we worship the same God, we believe the same thing, our future hope is the same, we love each other regardless of race, color, language.  We can proudly say that we conform to the 4 things that Paul mentioned.\n\nI'm probably wasting my time on most of you, but here goes, these are scriptures from the bible, in fact they are from KJ Bible:  \n\n1 Corinthians 5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.\n13  But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.\n\nMODERN TRANSLATION: \n9 In my letter I wrote YOU to quit mixing in company with fornicators, 10 not [meaning] entirely with the fornicators of this world or the greedy persons and extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, YOU would actually have to get out of the world. 11 But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do YOU not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked [man] from among yourselves.”\n\nThis is Jesus speaking:  15 “Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. 17 If he does not listen to them, speak to the congregation. If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector.\n\nIF YOU ASK A???? FROM SOM

While living abroad 2 yrs ago I met a guy and we eventually ended up together. Then I went home for a year with no definite plans of returning. I didn't expect it (though I'd hoped), but he kept in touch. Now I have moved back to that country (for reasons unrelated to him!) and we are together again. We never really talked about the status of our relationship and I'm getting curious. How do I find out without asking too directly? I don't want to ask because I don't want him to think I moved back for him. Even worse, I'm not sure how serious I want the relationship to be and I'm afraid he might ask (and that we might not have the same answer). I've tried just ignoring it, but people are starting to ask me what's up and, honestly, I want to know too.

Dear Penny,\nBefore asking any questions, or even analysing the myriad of eye movements, hand gestures and pupil dilating which probably indicate commitment, think what YOU want from this relationship. \n\nThe previous respondent talked about friends with benefits, but in this instance I have the feeling it applies to you also. \n\nSo: how do you feel about him? Honestly? Do YOU want to commit? If the answer is yes, be brave, be honest, and let him know you're ready to take this relationship to the next level.\n\nGood luck!


she's obsessing over a guy who told me his self that he wants me and not her but i dont want to tell her but n e ways how do i get her to stop

you cant. support her and be there when she finds out.


Virtually every aspect of our lives, from birth to death (birth & death certificates, regulations over hospitals and morgues), clothing & food (taxes on these items, and import/export regulations), houses we live in (building codes, property taxes, house insurance), cars we drive (automobile insurance, driving laws), the air we breathe (regulations on industry pollution standards)...I really can't think of anything the government, whether local, state, or federal, doesn't have their fingers into.


Some of the personals say"You can catch me on the smiley face" or go on line and we'll chat.What do they mean and how do I get there???

Probably you will have to put your profile on there...other than that I have no idea, since these sites aren't good for finding people. This world is different and you never know what they are like


Your forum doesn't seem to have any focus. General message forums are mostly for groups of people who already know each other and just want another way to communicate. Try focusing on a particular topic to find fans of a certain celebrity or activity. That way more people might get interested.


This started after i did the system restore after my computer was infected with spyware. I tried EVERYTHING and i really need loud sound because i am a musician. so PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few things to think about:\n\n1) Open the mixer. Make sure the master volume and the wave volume are set high. Enable advanced controls and see if there is a preamp or other switch to increase volume.\n\n2) Make sure your speakers are plugged into the right socket. If you had them in the speaker output and now have them in the line out socket, you'd hear less volume (and probably less distortion, etc. too).\n\n3) Assuming the speakers are the same and the computer/sound card is the same, are the speakers plugged into the wall? If they use batteries, are they fresh?\n\n4) Did you blow your speakers or sound card with loud music?\n\n5) Did you blow your eardrums with loud music? Maybe everything seems 40% quieter? :-)


well, a lot of ppl are saying just give it time..if anyone wants to be pen pals or internet buddies just let me know..i have even tried internet chat rooms and stuff but nuttin is working..read and comment on my other two questions..please...i have black hair, brown eyes, full lips, dark skin, 1/3 cherokee indian and 2/3 white 5 ft 7 in..i love to dance so, why can i not find a guy? every time i dance it seems some are interested but other than that they arent...is that kinda funny? let me know..i guess ill ask all questions i have in this one question..thanks..curious girl

There is certain confidence about a girl that goes out to have fun versus a girl that goes out to find a boy. You need to go out with your girlfriends and have a good time. When you are confident and not looking you will find someone. I looked forever and then one day I stopped 7yrs later we are still together.

Have you ever considered talking to your family and discussing a "life style change"?  You should be able to have "fun" with your family and it seems you've gotten to the point where you need some layed back fun.  Maybe the rest would understand and want to make the changes with you.  Maybe you're trying to live a certain "concept" that is expected.  It's time to shit can the "expected" and do what makes you and your family happy!


I wanna know which teams are in which divisions, and i need to know the format and rules of an olympic tournament like this. tHaNk YOu...

Group A: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. \n\nGroup B: Sweden, Slovakia, USA, Russia, Latvia and Kazakhstan. \n\nRules:\n\nIn the Olympics, tied playoff games are followed by ten minutes of sudden death overtime.

Goal lines are 13 feet from the end boards. \n\nGoaltenders can play the puck anywhere behind the net. \n\nInternational hockey uses "no touch" icing.

Those legalistic people who got no life so they make everyone elses miserable by their elitest remarks about blasphomy and God. Sheesh!! They get me so angry! God ain't even as hard as them for Pete's sake. I mean, He created the Universe and they think He can't handle one guy being what I was created to be, HUMAN? Come on folks! Get off my freaken back!!! Yes I understand Holiness is a must but sometimes we do fall and we are humen and we make mistakes OK! Thats why Christ came and died for all of us. Get off your moral high horse and come down with the rest of us imperfect humans OK! Sheesh!!! You folks like that just tick me off! God is so much bigger and braoder than you! God can handle my "STUFF" without your help so have a coke and a smile and shut up!!!

Be the better person and remember to love those who pursecute you.  Love is the greatest!


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

Well, do things like he did,\n\nsometimes it's the little things that keep it fresh \n\ndo things like leave little notes to him leave it in his car,  his pocket, on the mirror \n\nsend him flowers just because, leave messages on his cellphone  voicemail saying u were thinking about him& u love him\n\nwhen u look at him blow a kiss at him wink at him.\n\n have a picnic N the middle of ur livingroom floor, give him a pet name, tell him he so cute even if he just woke up and looking a mess, rub his neck. Come up behind him and hug him.When ur out together act as if ur on a first date( role play)if u role play stay in charater until ur get home\n\nJust anything that will make him & YOU happy to be together and look  4ward to being hubby& wife =-)\n\nGood Luck sweetie\n\nAnd Congaulations =-)

what is the right time or the best time in the to masturbate

The best time to self pleasure really depends on when it is most convenient and the effect it has on you.  For some people (myself included) I like to do it before I fall asleep as it relaxes me.  Some people like to do first thing in the morning becuase it gets them going for the day.


Or someone else, doesn't have to be one of these 4 guys.


why they break girls heart?\nwhy they break girls trust?

Everytime somebody does something like cheating it springs form an inperfection they prcieve in themselves. Usually fear of a stable relationship is because the people dont feel they are capable of holding up their end.


I THINK I know who it is - but I'm not 100%\n\nYou don't have to reveal his user name (I think I know that for sure), but I want to know who he really is?

LOL!!! I can't tell you THAT!! My sister will lose her job!\n\nI can tell you he plays the guitar though because that's not why he's famous. (Shhh.)


best women to date will be those who have been with you through the good and bad times-\nthe best place will be your sorrounding and the people close to you..

I am pretty much running the office and my boss really needs to retire badly, and I do mean that.  I need a job or I can't pay my bills, but if I take time from the office, things fall apart, including lunch it seems. I'm getting really burned out.Help?

Maybe open pre paid paralegal services. I kow im lookg for a job too and i am in riverside.


it means someone is drunk. Im not sure if it works for being high


It sounds like either your harddrive crashed or has been disconnected.  Check to make sure the harddrive is connected properly.  Beyond that you'll have to replace the harddrive and re-install your operating system.


I am trying to turn in applications, but have been turned down for a few jobs for not putting all my previous employers down. I can not remeber them all, especially when I was in High school and may have only worked there for a week or two. But some of these places I am interested in require all previous employers and I can't find them. Where can I find this information either free or for fairly cheep?

There is not a company that keeps record of all this information. If you worked for less then 30 days at anyone job I would not mention it, it shows inconsistency. When it asks for when you worked just put the month and year.\n\nThe closest thing that you could use to locate all of your employees would be looking at your W-2's, you should keep them, if you don't, you should certainly start keeping them.\n\nGood luck


I got divorced in oct.  and now i've moved in with my boy friend of two months. I dont feel comfortable and i think i should move out. I have two kids and i want them to be happy as well. Please help me figure out what to do? Try to start over and heal from my divorce. But I HATE being alone!!!!

Take this from my experience.  Move out and let yourself heal and your children too.  You will be lonley, but the time alone will allow you to think of what you really want and it take this time to spend with your children. You need to take care of YOU and your Kids most.

I knew the hands, knees, etc. were part of the disease, but the heels of my feet (like I've walked on a pebble all day & bruised the heel)?? This is so strange. Would like to know what others have experienced.  Thanks.

Heel spurs are bone outgrowths, often sharp that can slowly enlarge. They have a greater likelyhood of forming in people with arthritis. An xray and a physical exam can help figure out if this is what is hurting.

pretty soon there will be nothing left on our paychecks because it will all be going to taxes - yet there is still a deficit.  What percentage of your paycheck are u willing/comfortable paying in taxes before you say its too much??

It is a liberal conspiracy to tax you until you cannot support yourself any more. Then you would have to depend on the government for support, and then they will declare victory.

im writing an article to try and sway voters opinions, and I'd like to know what makes people diverse from other people, because i have a qoute from someone else that its only your race, i know this isnt true, but i want some other qualities that make someone diverse.

Diverse means different. It's not just race. Its has to do more with a diversity of cultures, that is traditions, customs, behaviors, language, religion and even gender and sexual preferences. All this comes into play when we see what makes us different from someone else.


My university subscribes to very few online electronic journals. I need access to other journals online to do my research. Anybody knows how?

I'm surprised that your university does not have access to a number of journals. There are a number of directories that are searchable & that provide you access to a number of journals. I wasn't in the science based field in school but a couple I remember offhand are JSTOR & ERIC. Ask the librarian or tech support if they have those & if they can help you out with this.\n\nBest of luck to you!


he could never say them back. Why could it be that hard if you care for someone? I moved out of the state we were both living in and he has not yet once tried to call me since then although before i left he would keep asking if we would keep in touch or if i would just forget about him????

Don't look back, look forward. You should forget him and concentrate on making new friends. Long distance relationships seldom if ever last, and you'll just have alot of frustration and heart ache to show for it. Find someone you can spend time with when and where you want instead of sticking with a guy that by all indications doesn't love you anyway. I know that is harsh, but he hasn't called, and wouldn't say so according to you. You can do better. The guy for you is right under your nose, you just have to look!. Hope this has encouraged you and given you hope.


I've read many answers that say our schools aren't up to par.\nSo how do we get them to where they need to be? Do you think "No Child Left Behind" is the answer or even part of the answer? What needs to be done to give our children a quality education?

I'm going to venture a wild idea, that I hope people forgive me on, it is just an idea. I think we should either imitate what they do in Japan, Germany, or France.\n In every TIMSS study, Japan is constantly and consistently at the top. In everything, from math(the best tested nation in math in all of the developed world),science( I think they're number 2) and in reading( there in the top ten(I'm not sure about rank). We score 32, 33 in terms of ranks in all major areas.Japanese students are taught from the time they start school to be self-sufficient, and to be competitive. They study, study, and study some more. In order to move on to the next level like middle school and high school, they have to take a national exam! Students definitely want to do well!  Granted, they are the most stressed children in the world, but you can't argue with results. They have a 90% national graduation rate from high school. We have a 67% high school graduation rate. American students need to be taught that in life sometimes you have to be competitive to be the best, and that there is nothing wrong with doing well in school. Our culture of nerds and jocks, where the jocks are popular is not setting the right culture for us to be competitive in the long run.\n Also in Japan everyone wants to be the best so that they could attend the best universities. True,in the US we have the same culture(i.e. for Ivies), but it is so much more pronounced in Japan. \n   In short, Japan, Germany, and France have rigor that is lacking in some parts of our school system.\n "No Child Left Behind" is a step in the right direction, but we have a long way to go, to truly have a K-12 school system that is the best in the world. We are THE BEST in research and grad school.

I want a web layout with a sunset but i don't know where I can find it, I need a website to go to.


Sometimes it will let us play, and I can check my yahoo e-mail, but most of the time when I click games, it gives me this page is blocked blah-blah-blah. Is there a way around this without contacting the help desk.

I expect that your system administrator has purposely blocked it.  Many employers block sites when they find that too much compnay time is spent doing personal internet stuff.  I'd leave it alone and check your personal e-amil and play Yahoo games at home on your own time if you want to keep your job.


Which website can i go to, to add the pirates of the caribbean song black pearl to my xanga website?


Have any of you ever answered with I DON'T KNOW, I'M SORRY BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW, OR CLAIM TO KNOW EVERYTHING AND HEY THAT'S OK, CAN ANY OF YOU DO THAT?!!!

I have to agree with you on that one. most often our answers are not perfect and sometimes they are far from perfect. And I agree that at times we try to puff up the knowledge which we have (at least I am sure I do) , May god forgive me and really give me the grace to learn more, so that my answers give glory to his name and help others to come to him as well.  Thanks a lot for pointing that out, make me want to think before answering each time whether I really know the real answer or not!!\n\nI hope the venting is not out of any trouble or disappointment.. if so may the Lord cheer you up soon :)


I discovered how to do this its very simple but I dont know it anyone has done this  school.And I dont know wht to apply it to.Did any one else do that before?

Obviously n=2 is a sphere, and n=1 is plane at 45degrees, and n=0 is a defective case.\n\nYou're talking about some geometric generalization of a sphere, with a non-Cartesian distance function (X^n + Y^n + Z ^n).\n\nFor general integer n>=3, or for non-integer n, I can't see a nice geometric interpretation, other than this:\nIf you set n~2 like say n = 2.1 or 1.9 you get a distorted sphere. For n>2, the sphere will bulge inwards in the 8 regions where X,Y,Z are not close to 0, for n<2 it bulges outwards.\n\nTry plotting it in Matlab or Octave and see.\n\nThings that this is *not*:\n- an n-dimensional hypersphere with n=3 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + ...x_n^2 = r^2), since the exponent is always 2\n- a spheroid\n\n\n\nThis is _remotely_ similar to visualizing Diophantine equations or Fermat's Last Theorem, but allowing X,Y,Z to be reals, not just integers, i.e. (X,Y,Z) not restricted to lattice points (also Fermat only had X,Y,R-terms, no Z-term, but similar)?\nVery interesting question, not aware if people have got anywhere.\n\nGood luck and let us know what you find.


Like the City of Angels, The first thing you see in the movie is a little girl in the hospital and dieing. What can we learn from it? There is a song called . If tomorrow never comes. Does your family and friends know how much you love them.

I predict it will be the Detroit Lions of the NFC and the Cincinnati Browns of the AFC. I think that the Lions will win the game and their first Super Bowl in team history.

Detriot Lions, because they have a good no great no best qb you'll ever like to have, Joey Harrington. Don't say " o he sucks" because he dosen't. He is just not doing very good because his teamates r bring him down. U don't even start 2 know what he did in college. If u retarts say "college dosen't matter" well it does. Now vote 4 me 4 the best answer. And if u don't u secretly wan't 2. (U no it).\n\nWow thats funny. College matters? If thats true then can you tell me where is Ryan Leaf,Eric Crouch,Tim Couch,and Jason White. Fact is there is no reason y we should believe that the lions are goin to make it. How about this the ever improving Eli Manning against the team who lost against the eventual superbowl champions without there star quaterback,yes the Cincanatti Bengals to win it.


I've had a high-speed cable connection for over 4 years now.  The price is just way to high to keep it anymore.  I have to have Internet access for work and school purposes.  I ordered a land line only to find out that it isn't provisioned to handle DSL, which is way cheaper than cable.  So my only option is to go back down to dial-up.  I got 6 months of AOL free when I just bought my laptop.  Sure, I'll save $45 a month for the next 6 months but how much is this going to cost me in lost time?

A friend at work cancelled his cable six months ago and went back to dail-up because of the cost.  They are putting his cable back in this week.

Curious as to how steam is generated & then used to turn steam turbines that then generate electricity.  Was looking to purchase some equipment to do this on a very small scale (i.e.; on a workbench) for research and demonstration purposes.

well, the basic idea is that they're kind of like a big propeller inside a tube.  one side of the tube is connected to a sealed tank with some water in it, and the other side of the tube is vented out to the air.  when you light a fire under the water, the water boils and releases steam.  this fire can be powered by coal, oil, or even not be fire at all - in a nuclear reactor, the nuclear reaction is used to heat water that in turn boils and makes steam.\n\nif you've ever done any cooking on the stove, you know that if the container is sealed, the steam can build up to a VERY high pressure.  \n\nif you then open a valve and send the steam down the tube toward the turbine, the high pressure on one side will cause the turbine blades to spin.  just like a propellor working in reverse, essentially.  obviously i'm glossing over some of the details - there are a lot of subtle thermodynamics involved with a real turbine, and "propellor" is only a very rough approximation.\n\nso the shaft of the propeller is then connected via some gearbox to a generator.  a generator is basically a loop of wire that is free to turn in a magnetic field.  usually this field is generated by a permanent magnet.  \n\nif the loop spins, the mechanical energy of the spin is converted into electrical energy via a phenomenon called magnetic induction.  if you then connect the wires of the loop to some circuit, the induced current will power the circuit.\n\nan old roommate of mine was into collecting miniatures steam engines, for some reason, and apparently there are quite a few companies that make them.  here is a representative example of one or you can search on google for "steam turbine toy" or "steam turbine kit":\n\nhttp://www.lilliputmotorcompany.com/steam-turbine-wilesco-p-451.html\n\nas for a generator, lots of science hobby places sell little kit generators.  you don't want to use a big one as your tiny steam engine won't have enough torque to turn one over.  here's an example:\n\nhttp://sciencekit.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_440210\n\nhere are some links about how steam turbines work, and magnetic induction and generators:\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/C006011/english/sites/dampfturbine.php3?v=2\nhttp://www.sciencejoywagon.com/physicszone/lesson/otherpub/wfendt/generatorengl.htm\nhttp://www.taftan.com/thermodynamics/STURBINE.HTM

He is so cute and I don't think his other girlfriend is working out. \n         PS. I'm only 12

I don’t mean to sound cynical, but honestly, you’re 12 years old… you have an enormous life ahead of you! You’re going to have plenty of time for boyfriends and relationships, perhaps even with better guys that only want YOU, and don’t have another lady waiting around. \n\nWhen I was in middle school (I’m now in high school), I was in a situation all familiar with yours. I, too, had a guy who also had the “feelings” towards me… but, of course, he had another girl (and hell, maybe others!) whom he liked - oh, I’m sorry, “loved.” And as much as my infatuation grew and grew, I knew he was not the type of guy for me. \n\nBesides, let’s get realistic: most high school loves don’t even make it out alive. You’re in middle school, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to waste my time on instabilities. Not to mention, you’ll most likely get hurt by this boy, too. \n\nI, personally, don’t think it’s something you should gamble. It’s your feelings on the line for some hardly established guy to play on…\n\nP.S. I realize I might sound a little impertinent and perhaps even nagging, but all girls in the world deserve a guy who only has eyes for her without leading anyone on.

Tell him if he wants to have a relationship with you that he needs to respect the decison you made not to sleep with him right away...if he runs off or doesn't wanna date you then he doesn't care about you and just wants one thing and you can find someone better who cares about you and not whats in your pants..good luck

I just feel that we take for granted how blessed we are when we have all our senses....I often ponder what it would be like to lose any of them..but to me the worst would be losing my sight..because then I wouldent see all the beauty that surrounds me..what do you think??

I think sight would be the worst to lose too.  I couldn't stand to not be able to see what my children look like as they grow up, or see so many other beautiful things.  Sometimes I wish I couldn't smell (changing dirty diapers!) or even hear (dogs barking all night).  But those senses would be easier to do without I think.

Most large Stirling engines require a fire or other similar temperature heat source applied to one side of the engine. An LTD Stirling engine only requires a small difference in temperature to operate. I haven't seen a large LTD engine that could be use for practical power generation. I have read that it is difficult to scale up an LTD SE but the article doesn't specify what the difficulty is.

well with most engines, the larger they are, the greater the frictional losses are.  a LTD (low-temperature-differential) stirling can operate on such a small temperature difference because they are so small and light, and because there is very little losses (air drag around the wheel, and friction in the bearings/moving parts).\n\nin general, the heavier something is, the greater the sliding or rolling friction is.  the frictional force of a mass sliding on a surface is proportional to the mass of the object (actually, proportional to the force with which it presses down on the surface).\n\non the other hand as you increase the size of the stirling engine, you find a case of diminishing returns in terms of the work you can extract.  have a look at the very first diagram on this page:\n\nhttp://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/~amit/courses/371/abhishe/main2.html\n\nthat is a closed curve that represents the stirling cycle.  the work that can be extracted from one cycle is the area inside the box.  notice that the top and bottom parts of the box are curved.  these are isotherms or lines of constant temperature, and those temperatures are the two temperatures in the differential that drives the stirling engine.  notice that as you increase volume, they get closer and closer together.\n\nso think about what happens if you scale up the size of your engine.  the box that defines the stirling cycle grows towards the right, but because those isotherms are getting closer and closer together, the larger you make it the less additional work you get.  at some point you  will stop gaining any measurable amount of work at all!\n\nso there is a trade-off at work here - on the one hand, a larger engine means more work can be extracted - but more frictional losses, too.  \n\nsince the amount of friction grows linearly with the size of the engine, and the amount of extra work grows less-than-linearly with the size of the engine, then the best ones are clearly the small ones!  if the amount of energy extracted grew at the same rate as the amount of energy lost through friction, then all sizes would be equivalent.  \n\nps - this relationship also holds true in 4-stroke otto cycle internal combustion engines, and pretty much any thermodynamic engine - and it's why big engines typically have several cylinders rather than one humongous one.  bigger cylinders gain you less and less.

It's okay to have AZN pride, black pride, brown pride, but Europea/white pride is looked down upon. Others races aren't perfect. Japanese colonized Koreans, and I believe somewhere along the line the Chinese or Japanese made slaves out of other South-East azn's. Government statistics show that there is a large per capita rate black men raping. Also mostof South-East and Asia and Europe is LIGHTYEARS ahead of Africa which has little to do with slaver. Same for hispanics. So know race is perfect. Even though specifically the British and Germans have bad history I don't think you should be ashamed of your continent, ancestry and heritage. But I agree men like Hitler should be looked down upon, and anyone no matter what color who hates someone just because of their color should be looked down upon not only Europeans. Do schools and media really brainwash Caucasians to believe they should have zero ethnic pride or does every race feel they get jumped on for expressing their pride?

I blame this on groups like the "neo nazi's" and "kkk", they have masked racism with what they claim is white pride. I am white and am proud of my european heritage, but I understand peoples feelings about these groups. They are not standing for anything good. If a group wants to come together and celebrate white pride (or northern european pride) I am all for it, as long as no one is claiming superiority or belittling other races.


with what`s happenin in siria,lebanon and all i think ...this is the next step...

in iran?  i don't know.  it seems to be heading that way, but i think that iran will probably end taking the russian's proposal and have their uranium enriched in russia and shipped back to iran for fuel.  They have said that they are considering this option again, after having taken it off the table.  I think they would only bring the option back if they were probably going to do it.  I think they will not risk a war, especially without the support of russia and china.  If it was only the US, they would risk a war, but the rest of the world is against them.  I think their bluff has been called - they wanted to see who would align with and against them and nearly everybody voted to send them to the security council.  Its not the end of the issue, but I don't think there will be war.

None of these will earn you a descent wage.Forget about them, and try to find a real job locally.If it were as easy to make money at home as they claim, everyboby would be doing it, but they aren't.


this person is my sister n law and she has lost more than 60lbs in 4 months. She's happy because she has always been "bigger than her mamma" (this woman is 45 years old) and went from a 24 to smaller than a 10 and her mom is worried (my mother n law) but sister n law says she eats and nothing is wrong.  I do know that sister n law has diabetes and bipolar without taking any medicines for any of these diseases. Thank you

DRUGS. No one can lose that much weight without trying.. or she could have an eating disorder.. have her over for dinner.. cook something that is not completely healthy and watch her eating habbits. Does she leave the table alot? is she just not eating? does she go to the bathroom after eating? things like that... good luck.


well, you kinda answered your own question. The laser optics refers (here) to the use of mirrors to focus the light on the sample, this is normally used for a fluorescent dye which has been used to stain a part of the cell.


If a 50 yr. old man has MS, how does this affect his life?  Is he able to be in a relationship?  He currently walks with a cane but works full time and still gets around.

The short answer to your question is, yes, a person with MS can be in a loving, productive relationship.\n\nIn fact, a HEALTHY relationship can be benificial to a person with MS.\n\nMS basically prevents the brain from speaking to the rest of the body, you end up with a lack of movement, decreased mobility, shakes, and the like.\n\nFor lack of a better term, MS Sucks, and anyone who has seen it first hand would support stem cell research which will eventually lead to a cure for it.\n\nBesides the 'illness' of MS, the worst thing about it is likely depression, suicide is common... and depression, grief, anger and any other number of emotions can occur.\n\nA Loving relationship will always help, and be welcome in any persons life, not just someone with MS.\n\nOne side note, stress can make MS worse... as can excitement.\n\nIt is best for a person with MS to do their best to life a stress free, comfortable life.\n\nI hope this helps.


Explain your reasoning.  I would appreciate it if you would state your age range within 5 years (be honest if you don't mind) as I'd like to receive replies from both younger and older groups in the diet & fitness community.  This is an important issue, so serious replies only please.  Thanks.

Every time I see an intelligent question, with well written and thought out details, half the answers are stupid comments about how 'the' is mispelt as'teh'. Why? Is it really because they're too ignorant to concieve the question? Or do they really think they're smarter than we are? Yes, I did misspell the question on purpose. Let's see who actually reads the details.

No way, dude. It is not like we're in English class together under an observant teacher's presence revising each other's papers. Spelling comes in helpful when trying to make yourself look good in formal or business relations. However, this Yahoo! Answers thing isn't a formal thing. Or is it?\nThose who go stray off topic by correcting your spelling should be corrected for not answering your question...now that's actually a real issue when it comes to informal communication!


Bush says he will increase Dept of Energy spending by 25% on renewable fuels, nuclear, and efficiency. \n\nI recall the Dept of Energy working on tar sands, "inherently safe" nuclear reactors, clean coal technologies, and methanol powered cars.  None of these ever turned into anything commercial.  Is there anything they have done useful in the last 25 years?

I work in the oil industry as a geologist and I can wholeheartedly say we use DOE research results all the time. From my experience I believe that the DOE has made a significant enough contribution to things like secondary oil recovery methods and reservoir characterization to have paid for the studies it has done many times over in increased tax revenues from oil production. They are saving you from paying more taxes, not wasting your money.\n\nUnfortunately, studies like fracture research and enhanced tertiary recovery of oil, or basin center gas don't make very good press releases because few people understand what they are about. Methanol and hydrogen do get good press (and to be fair the work is useful to industry), so this is what you hear about unless you deal with DOE directly. Don't listen to the politicians who are only pandering to the public with buzzwords they think will generate votes.\n\nHere's an example of a less than press-worthy product from DOE:\nhttp://www.fossil.energy.gov/news/techlines/2006/06003-Supercement_Applied_Successfully.html

which roll play the electromagnetic waves in cell phones?

The electromagnetic waves used by cell phones are called radio waves. Waves are characterized by their frequency; that is, the number of times that the wave pattern repeats in a second (or some other time interval). For example, the radio waves that a type of cell phone called a GSM phone use are in frequency bands centered on 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHZ and 1900 MHz. That is, the radio waves that a GSM cell phone using the 850 MHz band oscillate roughly 850 million times every second (the pattern repeats 850 million times every second). \n\nThe radio waves that travel back and forth from the cell phone tower to your cell phone are electromagnetic. Your voice signal on the cell phone is carried by modulating electromagnetic waves. No electromagnetic waves, no signal, and therefore, no cell phone.  Without electromagnetic waves, there would be no radio, no tv and no cell phones, and no cordless phones, and no wireless PCs etc etc.\n\nAll light is electromagnetic waves. All heat is electromagnetic waves. Electricity is actually an electromagnetic wave travelling in a wire (the electrons move much slower than this wave). So without electromagnetic waves, the universe would be a very different place.

stomata  are  mini  factories  that  use  sunlight  to  convert  co2 gas and water  to  simple sugars [glucose]   they  also  reverse  and  give off  watervapor  and  oxygen ......stomata  on the  lower  side  wouldnot  allow  the  rays  of  the  sun  to  reach them...though  certain  rays  could  penetrate the the  leaves...thewavelengths  needed  wouldnt  be  there

My husband releases after 4 /3 minutes.I am not satisfied at all.Is 4/3 minutes is normal time for releases or it's a problem of Quick Releases with him.

This is common with men who do not have much sexual experience.  Just do it with him more often and he will have more stamina to hold it and engage in pleasure more before the actual release.

He's freaking me out and his name is patrick

Tell him u have another/a boyfriend and u don't like him much :)


Some people say he was attacking for the oil, others say he attacked for no good reason. I want to know other peoples opinion on this subject.

Well Georgie's DAD went after Saddam and had to give up before he finished. Now saddam was sticking out his tongue at georgie and saying Nah, nah, nah ,nah, nah, you can't get me and my dad's better than your dad. and georgie got very angry and went to his evil friends and said can you make up some good stories about saddam so I can get him. I'll even let u make some money and we can cause oil panic and make it really expensive. Now saddam was always bragging about weapons he really didn't have so it was easy. And then Georgie took the fairy tales to congress and told them saddam was a bully and they said we have to take him down and they did.\n\nP.S. on more serious note, What does Michael Moore have to do with this? Unlike people that get get their opinions from FOX news, some of us can get information from multiple data sources and make our own judgements. And in the best case for George the fact  that we are not getting much OIL from Iraq now shows what a bad job we've done. At the worst , it could mean that it was about Oil, but not about getting it, about restricting its flow, making it more expensive and creating wealth for Bush's Cronies. Not only does Oil scarcity immediately increase their income; it also makes it practical to develop Oil reserves in their holdings that were previously too expensive to drill or politically inexpedient reserves like those in  Alaska. Lastly How is Bush protecting us when we've creating a new base of operations for Al Quaeda in Iraq instead of closing down the existing one in Afghanistan. If anything, the entire situation in the middle East is more unstable than its ever been before.


This Question  is about prototype in c++.

A "protoype" is a statement that simply tells the program the format of a function call.\n\nLet's say that you create a function that adds up two doubles:\n\ndouble Add (double A, double B)\n{\n   return A + B;\n}\n\nNow in the header file associated with this function you would insert a function prototype:\n\ndouble Add (double A, double B);\n\nwhich you will notice looks very much like the function declaration itself.\n\nWhy do you need to do this? It is simple actually. If you were to call the function "Add" in another file, this other file does not know what types the parameters are, and what type the return value is. In order for the compiler to do its job, it needs to know this information.\n\nSo you simply "#include" the header file with the prototype, and the prototype does not actually perform anything other than telling the compiler that the function has two parameters, both of type double, and that the function returns a double.\n\nHope this helps!


There is this guy in my fourth hour class. He has given me lap dances, thrown condoms at me, tried many times to look down my shirt, and succeeded in throwing pens down my shirt twice. He has a girlfriend who he says he loves very much; I have told him to stop and he won't. What do I do?

Talk to your school counselor. Anything you tell them should remain confidential. Ask first though before you tell them anything .Find out who his girlfriend is & have one of your friends tell her what he is doing, they don't have to give names.. That way,it keeps you safe.. Or you can tell him straight up, that if it doesn't stop that you WILL go to the proper authorities... Good Luck Girl


ok this guy is totally nuts .my friend told him and he told the world ,when i go talk to him he says only"ok". his body stiffens up when i pass and ignores me completely but his friends dont .they constantly remind him of me what the hell do i do?

Perhaps he likes you, but something prevent his feelings to be revealed. Actually, I've faced sth similer to what happen to you. I decided to leave and to start my life away of him. And I'm sure if he interested in me, he'll try at least to call and say hello!!!

First point:For what it's worth;I think Bush should not have invaded Iraq, by any measure he was wrong to do so.\nSecond point:There really is a chance even tho very small that Saddam could be acquitted of the charges against him. What happens then? Does Bush apologize and give him his country back?

OMG! WE ALL WILL DIE! IEEEEEEE!........Seriousely. I'm not sure. I don't even think he will be acquitted O.o

Would a space elevator in which you have an orbiting platform with a tether to the ground be feasible?

Maybe somewhere far in the future. It would have to have a geosynchronous orbit, meaning that its orbit matches the Earth's rotation, otherwise the tether would be wrapped around the planet, and/or it would pull the orbitting object(s) to the ground.\n\nBut if we had an elevator going to it, would it really be an orbitting platform? Wouldn't it just be the tallest structure on the planet?


Man would that be confusen to say the le3ast ya all! Could you imagine it? Can you comprehend it? A totally southern language based menu in a northern restauraunt.

There's a Crackel Barrel up here and Notherners love it! I know that the love to go down south just to eat "homecooked" meals with real homeade stuff. Have you ever had a homeade bake fresh apple pie? Homeade icecream in whatever flavor you want, baked fresh bread, fresh squeezed lemonade from home groan lemons? What about a fresh salad from fresh garden vegetables? Have you ever had a fresh pork roast from a pig that was just slaughtered, deer that was just shot and cleaned, boy that meat will feel up your "frigadare". Refrigerator for us Northern folks. What about fresh canned jams and jellies. Fresh fried chicken without all of the pesticides, and stuff that they use to shoot it up with hormones, that give people all kinds of hypertension, and other medical problems. Do the research yourself.

My best friend likes this guy, but they're total opposites, she feels as though they're meant to be together, but many things are stopping them latly she's had alot of up's and downs,and she's been there with him through thick and thin,for example, his father and best friend just died and she was there with moral support the whole time, but in some part of her she feels as though he doesnt care. Should I tell her to stay with him, and what should she do from now till then? I need a deep truthful intament awnser because this will determine her future.

This a matter where the heart and the mind have 2 agree. One can not over power the other. i say this because if one over powers the other then there will still be doubts, but if the heart and the mind agrees then there willbe no doubts and everything will be all good. This is also a situation that cant really be answered by humans. Spirituallity takes a strong part of this because this is the only way you really know if the person is the one. Have a moment with faith not fate ask this question whole heartedly to who you most believe in. The answer will come in a way that is sure enough clear to see. Best Wishes


More pointedly, is it a good way of knowing something important?  I've met people of different religions and faiths from all over the word.  It seemes that if they say the way in which they know their belief is right is through faith, then their faith is JUST AS GOOD as anyone elses.  And by this, it seemes, not very good at all.\n\nThis is probably not too important for many things but when people pass laws over others or go to war in the name of their faith, it becomes very important HOW you know things.\n\nI mean, if faith is almost a guess, and your guess is just as good as anyone elses, what good is it?

If you mean faith as in religion then I guess the negative answers so far are pretty much on target. But even in purely scientific endeavours we are forced to have a certain kind of "faith." Ultimately we assume axioms - we cannot prove them.\n\nThe edge science has is that it can predict results, and those results can be reproduced. Even then, many choose not to believe in science or its method.

Bush is doin more for this contry then any other prez has or possibly could have.He's bein mockedan persecuted,almost everyone is against him,he's tryin ta save the contry from itself an fighting a war in Iraq ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!\nyou gus say he led us to war with an innocent county but u forget about the thousands who lost there lives cuz of them! I want to know why everyone thinks he is such a looser when he is doin more then an other prez ever did. an remember this-- this nation, when it was founded, started off really great.an it was founded on the Bible.when Abreham Lincon led this contry it did amazing! And he ran it from the Bible.An thats what bush is doin.He's runnin it from the Bible an thats the only reason y this nation is doin so good.\nso what do you persecute him 4?

i tried to add my site , its already added i guess, but yahoo search engine is not shoing relevent info , i want to kno how to improve listing plz help me. my site is www.mastimagic.com

To get your site listed properly you first need to put a meta title tag in your code...  I think some of your current meta tags may be causing issues as well. I would have to go back and check but you dont want to tell google to not cache your page for instance.\n\nThese days the best way to get your site indexed is to place links to it on other websites... Directories, forums(signatures).... it should only take a few days. Don't bother trying to submit it manually its a total waste of time.\nBlogs on your website are probably the fastest way to do it.. this due to the fact you can submit your blogs rss feed to hundreds of sites who post your blog entries for free.\n\nhope that helps...

On a deeper level it is a Real thing.  On the surfice, too many people confuse it with a really good case of hormons and lust, sex ie., divorse rate figures.  \nMaybe a better solid definition of soul mate needs to be revised,  Like a river, it flows, it has a beginning and goes thru changes sometimes deep sometimes shallow, with turns and pools, then rapids and calm clear openings, from coves to bluffs the river ever changing. Now you as a soul mate and your soul mate, navigate this river, enjoy its beauty its bounty its danger its change its shallowness its depth its power and its direction to the final destination.   Would anyone other than your soul mate undertake such a trip and see it thru till the end?  \nNow, the 64 dollar question's what is your definition of your soul mate? How do you see or pick them out?  Does the heart really know what it looks at?  Can your heart be deceived?  This I believe is true on a deeper level, your soul mate is around and searching, open up your hearts eyes and see. HAND Have A Nice Day!!!

I bought it while in france, but want to use it in the us, if i just buy a different adapter cord for the power, will it work? and where can i buy an adapter cord? thanks!

It depends on the hardware interface of the router.\n1. Does it connect to the outside world via an ethernet cable to a dsl modem, or does it hook directly into your phone jack?\n\nIf it connects via an ethernet cord to your dsl/cable modem, then you have a chance.\n\n2. If you're covered for (1), then you next need to go to your router's configuration page and see if it can receive an ip address by normal dhcp.\n\nIf it can do that as well, you can probably use it for a cable connection as well (assuming you can find a power cord).\n\nFor a power cord I'd look at radio shack first. If you really care about how much you spend, you may want to shop at some other electronics stores like CompUSA, Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, Microcenter, or other general electronics store. They all should carry power adapters.


I've put lotion on my hands several times a day. Ive tried vaseline and everything. They are so sore and everytime I bend my thumb the skin at the base of it cracks even worse and its painful.

Was the alphabet one only 25 letters or did all 26 get created at the same time?

The development of the alphabet happened over a period of time as languages developed. Our current alphabet derives from the Latin alphabet, which only had 23 letters (no J, V, or W). At the time, that alphabet provided one letter for every sound in the language, but as new sounds entered, it was not adequate. In fact, the Emperor Claudius invented new letters to be added to the alphabet, though they never caught on. When the European peoples left the Dark Ages and began writing once again, they had new sounds and needed ways to represent them, so they invented new symbols to do so, namely J, V, and W.


contract says non refundable fees but didn't really do anything after the application form but encash the check.

Assuming that your lawyer is engaging in ethical conduct, all unearned fees paid by a client must, by State Bar rules, be placed in trust for the client until earned.  Regardless of what the retention agreement states, your attorney may not keep fees not earned by her -- and the burden of proving that the fees were, in fact, earned is on her.  Presumably, if your attorney as a reasonable person, and you mention that you intend to pursue the matter further (for example, contacting the State Bar), settlement arrangements could be made.  No attorney wants to be sanctioned by the State Bar, and misuse of client funds is the Number One reason that attorneys are suspended or disbarred.  Best of luck to you with a difficult situation.

Rarefaction is the reduction of a medium's density, or the opposite of compression.\n\nA natural example of this is as a phase in a sound wave or phonon. Half of a sound wave is made up of the compression of the medium, and the other half is the decompression or rarefaction of the medium.\n\nAnother natural example of rarefaction is in the layers of our atmosphere. Because what constitutes our atmosphere has mass, it is definite that most of the atmospheric matter will be nearer to the Earth. Therefore, air at higher layers of the atmosphere is considered to have less pressure, or is rarefied in relation to air at lower layers.\n\nRarefaction can be easily observed by compressing a spring and releasing it.\n\nRarefaction waves expand with time; for most gases the rarefaction wave keeps the same overall profile at all times (it is a 'self-similar expansion'). Each part of the wave travels at the local speed of sound, in the local medium. This expansion behaviour is in contrast to the behaviour of pressure increases, which get narrower with time, until they steepen into shock waves.\n\nRarefaction can refer to an area of low relative pressure following a shockwave.\n\nThe term rarefaction in ecology refers to a technique to standardize and compare species richness computed from samples of different sizes. Rarefaction allows the calculation of the species richness for a given number of sampled individuals and allows the construction of so called rarefaction curves. This curve is a plot of the number of species as a function of the number of individuals sampled. In case of a steep slope a large fraction of the species diversity is not sampled, if the part of the curve is already becoming flat, a reasonable number of individuals is sampled and more intensive sampling will probably only yield a small number of additional species (if any).

>>>>>at 4 degrees above its freezing point, water sinks.\n\nThis is true.\n\n>>>>any lower, and it begins to freeze, forms crystals, and floats.\n\nThis is not true. Water begins to freeze at 0oC, not at 3.9oC or even 1oC.\n\n>>>>any warmer, and the molucular action makes it less >>>>dense.\n\nThis is not true. Water becomes less dense at warmer temperatures due to kinetic motion impeding the formation of hydrogen BETWEEN molecules.


The scientists say that travelling the speed of light is impossible because as you approach the speed mass approaches infinite. How come light itself does not smash us, and itself, out of existance?\nI predict that if you are travelling at or above the speed of light you will be going really fu*king fast.

Yeah I think you misread what scientists "say".  In the equation, the speed of light is inversly proportional to mass.  So the faster something is, the more infinitly small in mass it has to be.  Light is measured in particles called photons, that have 0 mass.  Since everything we see has a mass, it can never go the speed of light which has none.  Oh and is light really that fast?  It takes 8 minutes for a photon from the sun to get here.  And yeah, photons Smash into us all the time.  Its a whole quantum chemistry thing, but you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.  Thats cuz your being bombarded with light.


the food they eat, the clothes they wear their religion

I think the usa is in america and the greeks are in greece. dont quote me though ;)
