i heard that a human being uses barely 20% of his brain.. how do i use at least 50% of my brain?\n\nhttp://www.blogcharm.com/jal

Okay.  This is a common misconception perpetrated by those wonderful PSAs with David Schwimmer and the likes.\n\nWhen scientists came out with research saying that you only use 20% of their brain, they meant that you only use 10-20% of your brain at any given time.\n\nSomehow, the media grabbed ahold of this and misinterpreted it to mean that you only use 20% of your brain in your lifetime.\n\nHere's how it actually works.  Throughout the course of a given day, you will use 100% of your brain.  Only about 15% or so is electrically active at any given point in time (for the average person).  Certain portions of your brain are active during certain activities, whether it be reading or riding a bike or anything else.\n\nThe magnificent thing about the brain is its efficiency.  If you do not use a set of neurons in the brain, they will disconnect from their neighboring neurons and sometimes die by apoptosis (mostly in development, but this occurs throughout life).  When a neuron pulls away from other neurons, more will extend to make new connections.  This way, the brain is constantly keeping otherwise unused portions used.\n\nSo to answer your question, you are already using 100% of your brain!  The real question here is: how do I use my brain's potential more effectively?\n\nWell, keep healthy, physically and mentally.  Exercise to keep your blood flowing to your brain, feeding it.  Drink water to help this process.  Do mentally stimulating activities: read books, write, paint, think of things!  Meditate!  Train your ability to focus on one thing at a time.  Train your ability to multitask.  Turn off the TV.  Go outside and enjoy nature.  Relax.  Help kids with their homework.  Study something.\n\n~The more you know\n\nlol


WA WA WA WA about every thing under the sun

They all whine because they don't have any answers\nto any of the current problems so they just play\nthe blame game and wa, wa, wa.


I just got new contacts, and I'm kind of confused about which was is inside out. They look the same to me on my finger, and it feels awful both ways.

If it has any writing on the contact, like a number or something, that part is on the outside, so when you put the contact in that part would be facing outward.  You can usually tell by it being more uncomfortable if it is inside out.  But since you just got them, that will be hard for you to tell, since it feels uncomfortable both ways, but one should feel worse than the other.


coz i start to doubt that friends are totally useless,i mean,all my friends were useless.n i start to think that maybe my life will be better without freaky friends,u know,peaceful?

look, truth be told, some ppl just aren't 'ppl ppl' if u know what i mean... they prefer to be alone and r actually better off that way. \n\nbut if u ask me, even those ppl could use a good friend at some point in their life. it might be during the difficult teens, maybe the late thirties, or even after the dubbed "middle-age"...but that time always comes! \n\nfriends aren't the ppl who hang out with u and make u do drugs... friends r those who hold u up on their shoulders so u can check out that pretty chick/hunk behind the fence, they r the ppl who tell u that outfit makes u look fat (that just means they r honest and don't want to c u make a fool of urself), they r the ones who lend u their favorite CDs and don't mind if it takes u ten weeks to give 'em back, the ones who help u cheat on a test without being afraid they'll get caught in the process, they r the ones who actually take the blame for something YOU did and not regret it, the ones who let u sleep over (and in THEIR bed, too!) when ur wife/husband kicks u out, the ones who play poker with u when ur kids dump u in an old-ppl's home and forget u there...\n\nthe friends u've had so far obviously didn't fall under that category...find urself some REAL buds and use criteria like: same inetersts, similar mind-frequency, humor, logic, and most of all...THAT THEY R THERE 4 U WHEN U NEED THEM!!!


what do u understand if some one say bimaonth? it means twice a month or once in 2 months


Please answer if you have the new one, thanks.

The second disc is well worth watching if you are a fan of Napoleon Dynamite. It shows a whole bunch of NEW deleted scenes, alternative scenes, comparison shots of what it looks like to film makers when they were filming the movie compared to what we see in the theater/on DVD, and more...\n\nBut disc 1 has new comments made by 4 of the other cast mates who were stars of the movie.\n\nSo, it is only worth it if you are a fan...


I cant work you out,you always hear women saying `i want a good man,where are the good men? well here is one,and i struggle to find love,when theres guys out there who sleep around and beat there women and still you can be sure they have a new girlfriend every couple of weeks,i know you can be too nice and thats why some people will walk ove you but i dont see anything wrong in wanting to treat your woman good and make her feel special,when im with a woman i do everything i can to make her feel good,give her compliments everyday,kiss and hug her at every chance,thats just the way i am,and i think every women should be treated like this but its always the a$$hole who will end up with the good ones!!

The U.S. is asking for big trouble by letting so many people sneak in so that Jose can work his ass off.

Well over here there is a lot of people that talk bad about the immigration situation, but when you guys answer the question and are talking about immigration you guys mean the Mexicans right. Not the Russian, not from other places but just Mexico. Well yes Im going to say im hispanic and no im not Mexican. I was born here but for white people is like whatever. "Yeah your hispanic so you are an immigrant". All of this is reall shady of people just criticizing of people you dont even know. Yeah about the flag, when the Mexicans was holding their flag in top of the United States one was not so cool. Now right there is something you should not be doing and i agree on that. That people shouldnt be holding the mexican flag first than the united states one.  \n\n\nTo just answer the question about this is that yes there are a lot of immigrants that are criminal but also there is a lot of people that are white and they are criminals, but not all the hispanic people are criminals some of them work hard in school. The high school im in right now is workin hard and has the highest test scores in most south central high schools. They are pure hispanics and some blacks. Well my point is that not all hispanic are the same, yes i know they are some lazy hispanic that just dont want to do anything but they are some that came here not legal that are trying there best to be something in life.


I am. She is an extreme left wing Marxist radical who believes that if you have studied hard and work hard you should forfeit your paycheck, give it to the federal government so it can distribute your money to the freeloaders who cannot be bothered to work.\n\nHillary said: "We're gonna take things away from you for the common good". There is no doubt she would love a communist dictatorship. And the democrat party has veered off to the left so far they are not only off the scale, they are off the radar!

Oh my god, I think I've finally found someone more conservative than me.  Is it possible?\n\nHey, I am firmly against Hillary in the Oval Office.  There are two types of personality.  In the first type, the person rises to the occasion.  He realizes the solemnity and critical nature of the office.  Where once the candidate was flippant or cavalier about the issues, he now realizes he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he elevates his attitude and behavior to match the importance of his office.  That is Bush.\n\nThe second type of personality is susceptible to corrupting influences, and becomes drunk on power, even if the person believes his or her actions are altruistic.\n\nI'm afraid Hillary falls under the second category.  I too have heard her say some rather unsettling things.  They were not taken out of context; it is what she really meant to say.\n\nThe funny thing about liberals is they have almost everything completely backwards.  Consider the war in Iraq.\n\nBush once made the remarkable statement about "the soft bigotry of low expectations". I want you to remember that quote. Think about what he is saying. I've talked to a lot of liberals about the Iraqi conflict, and when I bring up the obvious point that millions of people have now been given the opportunity to live in freedom rather than tyranny, they prattle on, objecting with erroneous, irrelevant arguments. If I chide them enough, and make them hot under the collar, they will finally lose control and exclaim, "Oh come on, you don't really expect that a bunch of stupid, volatile, irrational Arabs can handle democracy, do you?"\n\nBush does not denigrate the people of the Middle East with the "soft bigotry of low expectations". Unlike the Democrats, he believes in their potential. He does not arrogantly belive that they can't handle democracy.\n\nThis same concept applies to democrats, especially liberal democrats.  Their whole outlook on life is mired in the soft bigotry of low expectations.  They constantly talk about how loving and compassionate they are, so they're going to make the government "help" us.\n\nMy response is, "If that's how you love me....PLEASE... don't 'love' me again!!!"


my hours have been cut from 40hrs per week to 35hrs per week.\nmy employer has informed me that my accrued vacation days are now 7hrs each instead of 8hrs each.

If you aren't under contract, then yes they can.


I thought as time went on (like 5 yrs. worth of time) men learned how to last longer. Like longer than say 10 min...

10 min is something, stop complaining lol! It could always be worse.


What do we know about how they evolved from earlier life-forms?

About 2 billion years ago.\n\nVery little. We are reasonably sure that chloroplasts and mitochondria were bacteria before they joined the collective.


I am in an environmental sociology class and trying to get a feel for the amount of environmental info talked about in your church? Understanding that the main goal of the church is to spread the word, but can you please answer these 3 questions? \n\nDoes your church talk about environmental stewardship?\n\nClassify your church? ex. evangelical /baptist/ methodist\n\nIn your view, is your church liberal or conservative?\n\nThanks for your time! \nPlease answer even if there are alot of the same as you!

I don't recall ever hearing anything about environmental stewardship in my church.\n\nMy church is Pentecostal.\n\nDefinitely conservative.


I seen on television that there are brothels in Nevada where having sex for money is legal. The women said that they like it better than being on the streets because they have security, panic buttons, and cameras. Whereas on the street you do not have an type of security.

i agree. i think it should be legalized because, then rapist and everybody will go to the hookers and not rape or molest little kids. but no matter legalized or unlegalized, sex offenders will always want the kids. i think it is because of their innocence. this is just my opinion. i know somebody who has been molested before. the guy that did it had already had sex before. but he still did it for some reason i guess the person  will never know.


I need a quick way to lose about 15 lbs.  I'm in school, so I have no time to excersize ans I'm probably the pickiest eater you'll ever meet.

decrease calorie intake, increase exercise.\n\nyou can exercise at school....try walking more than you usually do. carry books around with you instead of putting them down somewhere.


I work for a Movie Theatre chain who is not reporting his profits correctly to movie distributors. He has "side"show, shows that arn't scheduled, then he keeps all the profit. I would like to report him to all the movie distributors but how do i do that?

Contact the MPAA on this violation.  They will probably even have a reward for you work in reporting this.  American movie industry loses billions of dollars on illegal showing and piracy of films.


I am flying out to attend a good friend of mines wedding.  Talk to him fairly often, but havent seen him in like 5 years, and never met his fiance, though I have spoken to her.  Any good ideas for a wedding gift?  I am looking to spend no more than like $100 - $150.\nHe likes Hip-hop, sports (Steelers), playing with his kid, he works a lot, I dont really know what his fiance is into.

I was in exactly the same position about a year and a half ago. I didnt know what his fiance was into but I knew my friend quite well. So I just went to the dept store and looked around for about 2 hrs, asked the assistants what people generally like to buy for wedding gifts, and finally i picked out a 4pc set of original design beer glasses and a 2 pc crystal ice cream bowls (dont know why but they were crystal and I wished someone gave me something like this). The set of glasses and the bowls cost me a total of about $150.


i just want to know where the real men are because i need one.

Closer than what you think. You just can't tell because we dont look like the "real men" of your dreams or the ones from movies and TV. We are not tall enough, fit enough, we dont look as good. We are too busy trying to persue our own dreams, because we gave up on romance after ending up being your best guy friend and the best guy friend of several other girls. The few of us that got noticed are now in happy relationships but you can't tell because our girlfriends/wifes protect us with extreme jaelousy in fear that a younger/prettier girl would take us away from them. Stop looking up, stop looking down, START looking around... you may find a single REAL man near you


i told him on tuesda and he sadi we will talk about it, it is now sunday and still no response. he knows my aol name and my celly number. should i ask him what is up or should i just leave it alone.

u should give him time, and if he doesn't like u that way thats fine to, just be glade you have him has a friend.


Most ask, can you really fall in love again...For those of us who have grown up with deep and pure religious values and are now very skeptical, can we believe again, really???

I would have to say no. When I was a child, I went to church, I read the bible, and was very into it. Im now 21, a philosophy major, and have no belief in God. It is kind of hard to believe now, I mean if you look at science and genesis next to eachother, Genesis is just garbage. Think about it, talking snakes and magical fruit... also plain white goats that reproduce and have striped offspring because of a stirped olive tree branch that sat in front of them. \n\nFaith is the belief in something without proof. When you find your proof that debunks God, faith dies. And no person can raise the dead. If you think that you are a re-believer, then you never completly threw out God in the first place, kind of like Decartes (philosopher).\n\nA good book on this is "Scepticism Inc." by Bo Flower. It is an increadable read, narrated by a shoping cart trolly from the future, and it is a fight between religon and athiesm. REMEMBER... When reason and faith come to clash, tis' faith that must go a smash.


I dated this guy for 3 1/2 years(he is best friends with my older brother, thats how we met)we lived together and I caught him cheating on me in the bed we shared. So its over now. A few months ago I ran into a guy who is friends with my ex's friends, we really hit it off, ended up sleeping in the same bed that night(cuddling only)things were awkward the next morning, we talked very briefly on the phone a couple times since, I ran into him again last week and he came to me and said"your killing me". I heard through his friend that he likes me but is freaked at the fact that he knows my ex. My ex is still trying to get me back, and wont allow this guy and I to date. How can I go about making this work? I really like the guy, but my ex freaks him out. My ex is crazy.

First of all you need to tell your ex to get over himself! Hes the one that messed up therefore he shouldnt be trying to get back at you! And even if lets say you were the one to cheat first then oh well lifes tough and he needs to move on! You and the "new" guy shouldnt even pay attention to your ex. I mean he is your EX hence the word EX as in he doesnt matter anymore! You guys should just ignore him and be happy!!


They sell "advertising".  Their trick is that rather than showing you an advertisement for Ford when you do a search for "Ford", they present a link to the Ford web site.  Any links at the top or on the right of the page are "sponsored".  That means, they may not be the best matches for what you are looking for, just that someone paid Google a lot of money to get their link to appear when you do that search.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with their approach, because they clearly state which are the Sponsored Links verses the ones which their search algorithms say are the best links.


I am not 40...but I want to know what the changes and new discoveries are when a women turns 40. Please help.

i have not studied .. it is hard what strategy shoud in use to get a better score a realyy high score actually...


Probably Golberg, but Warrior was NO WIMP!!!


United Parcel Service, Federal Express or United States Post Office. Which one really is the best. Have a big heated depate at work on which service works the best for your money. I need some answers......

It depends on what you're shipping.  USPS is usually best for lighter weight envelope type packages, UPS is more economical for heavier packages, FedEx will get it there very fast.\n\nConsider your needs carefully and use the right tool for the job.  You may need to send different shipments through different couriers.


This is how it's done in Singapore, and it works very well I believe.  I do think that we need to have zero tolerance for drugs.  Drugs ruin peoples lives and make them go insane.  Fighting drugs should be a top priority unless we want to have a society of people with fryed brains.

Lets start with tightening the boarders to Mexico.  After all they are in the process of legalizing virtually every drug known to man.


Find another decent soccer player and challenge them. It really does work because it makes you compete and try harder, trying to beat them. I like doing that. And when you're juggling, try to keep your feet at a 90 degree angle, straight forward. It works.


It is not at all justified,They all ways get reservation.and reservation means not a good genuine doctor or MBA professional


I am a recovering alcoholic (have not drank in two and a half years) and was not a very good husband for many of our 14 years of marriage.  I have confessed to adultry and I am trying to make my marriage work but my heart appears to be with another.  I am now a Christian and according to the Bible, I am suppose to love my wife unconditionaly as I would love Jesus.  I am trying to love her unconditionaly, but I am having trouble breaking the soul ties with this other woman.  I have no contact or communication with her, but she is on my mind much more than I like...please help me break these "soul ties" in order that my wife and I rebuild our marriage to a level where we are in madly in love again as the days when we first met and where dating.

First of all,  and this is for everyone:  LOVE IS CONDITIONAL. We are human and therefore it's conditional.  People do things in life that cause others to fall out of love or stop loving such as cheat, abuse, threaten, betray, lie, steal, change sexual preferences, move away, die, verbally abuse, distance themselves, I could go on,  Do you get my drift?  I've already read countless stories on here about brothers who are writing in for their brother about the parents being devout christians yet will disown the son cause he's gay.  That's love with conditions, EVEN with a parent.  It happens.  So it's NOT ABOUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, IT"S ABOUT CHOICES.  If you make a choice to be with someone and you choose to adopt the values that that should be forever, then that's your core value system.  You belive that marriage is forever and therefore you make choices that support those values.  they happen to be based in Christianity, fine.  \n\nNow, as far as the other person, it's very easy and very simple (at least for me to see it, just harder for you but I'm going to point it out and you're gonna shake your head and say OMG,she's right,,,,or you'll think about it for a day or two or more and it will slowly sink in);  Basically in a nut shell, the 14 years of marriage that you've had with your wife are a constant reminder of the person you used to be.  THis other person was an escape from the drunken person who didn't have self esteem, didn't have values, treated people badly, abandoned friends and family emotionally-basically, all the things that you said defined you as "Not a very good husband".  So this person became an escape from the person you did not like in yourself.  Your wife of 14 years was an "enabler" and it is for that reason that part of you doesn't respect her (it's subconscious).  You lack respect because she enabled the situation and stayed with you.  I don't care what ANYONE says, I don't care if she's the most devout christian in the world, A STRONG WOMAN WHO IS NOT AN ENABLER WOULD HAVE KICKED YOU TO THE CURB IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES REGARDLESS OF THEIR SPIRITUAL LIFE.  THis is where the issues are.   You're merely looking at you, your past and your current path and feeling guilt and shame about everything.  This is the part I hate about religion is the guilt and shame association.  So you need to NOT feel guilty or shameful and understand that you did what you did and now you're taking responsibility and choosing to do things differently and that is to not drink and be a better man.  But SHE/YOUR WIFE HAS TO WORK ON HER ISSUES TOO.  I don't know her but a HUGE part of her character and personality are evident in this question with just the fact that she put up with an alcoholic for 14 years.  Usually, it's cause they had someone close to them who was an alcoholic and they lack tremendous self esteem.  I think if you're really committed to work things out, you both need to go to counseling together and address everything you possibly can but don't carry around guilt and shame in the process.  Your wife may subconsciously be hanging that over your head to try and keep you in line.  It's her way of healing her past with whoever she may have known that was an alcoholic.   We tend to pick partners who mimique our own parents.    yes, this is deep and compex but it's very basic and comon so just read it again if you have to and be strong,   Things will come together but only if you take those steps to counseling first for at least 6 sessions.   Best of luck-you'll be fine.  God forgives and I doubt he's gonna cast judgement at you when there's pedafiles, molesters, rapists, murderers around.  That's just what I believe.


ive got all summer to lose wieght. how can i lose 20 pounds tfrom june 1st and august 31st. and keeep the weight off?\n\na little bit about me\n\ni can run a ile in 10:34 sec\n\nim 5'6\n\nweigh 135\n\nim a teen\n\nand i would like to say, i know why i am doing this. i want to look good and feel good about my body. and be healthy.

135 is the perfect weight for you.  If you just want to tone up then join a gym and get into a weight lifting program.  Make sure your eating right. Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work to there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com  Bottom line is don't worry about your numbers, just be concerned that your body is functioning correctly and is getting all the nutrients, rest, and exercise that it needs. Good Luck!


sentence for My-Lai incident justified? Was his commutation of the life sentence justified after only 3 years by Nixon?

Let's verify there was a massacre before we make any comparisons. Since Vietnamese villagers were not known for blowing themselves up to kill U.S. personnel and few if any of their women were ever combatants, shooting down civilians in that theater was a lot more difficult to take than anything that happens in a war zone where women and children routinely take up arms, put on disguises and attack both military and civilian targets.\n\nAs for Calley, I don't think Nixon went overboard in granting him clemency. He was being scapegoated.


Why is it everyone is mixed up about antimatter as if it's something special. Mass is mass whether it's matter or antimatter. The effect on spacetime curvature is the same for both.\nAnyway back to your question... Well it's also a function of the mass. Inverse space time is just the logical extension to a 4D system of the idea of spatial frequencies in 3D or for that matter of frequency in 1D. You obtain the inverse from the regular by performing a fourier transform. Inverse spacetime is the dual/harmonic domain representation of spacetime. The harmonic domain representation is a more natural way of analysing oscillatory phenomena like the orbits of stars and planets, just as the frequency domain is the more natural way of analysing audio signals and the like.


I feel like I'm gonna puke all the time, sometimes I get headaches, and my back sometimes hurts.

sounds like your upset with yourself for throwing your virginity away. take it for the lesson it is. don't give it away because you're curious


I'm skinny for a guy at 5'7" and 130 lbs. I even asked a question about it and most girls said they would NOT date someone who weighs less than them. So my loyal, honest, caring and giving personality apparently means nothing to those girls (the majority of my potential dates). Yet guys get a bad rap for being shallow and picky about looks? Why??

Most girls just want to feel protected by a guy and it is hard to imagine a guy smaller than us protecting us from anything. That's not really a fair question though....Why don't guys admit to only wanting sex from girls?


would've Peter Forsberg made a big difference?

I think that the avs losing had nothing to do with theadores playing, i think it was the lack of shots, too many penalties,a nd the avs doing a horrible job on the powerplay and penalty kill. \nPeter Forsberg is a great player but no, he was playing at his worth wiht his ankles being injured and now has to get surgery on them. Also he would not have cause we have a lot of good scrappy young players who showed us that they have talent.

(Im sixteen now) Im just wondering. Is it possible for it to have cause permanent side effects on me?

I am having reading epilepsy from my adolescence. I am working as Assistant Professor in Veterinary College. Can I marry a girl she is second cousin to me. Whether it will be inherted to my child or not

Well, I'm kind of worried that you mentioned your job as an Assistant Professor in Veterinary College, but you don't know how to calculate an inbreeding coefficient.\n\nAnyway, second cousin is usually unrelated enough. But go back in your family trees, and I'll bet you have many more relatives in common. Should that be the case, your children have a slightly higher chance of having birth defects. \n\nSupposedly, if two unrelated people in a population have an X percent chance of having a defective child, then first cousins have a 8/5X (1.6X) chance of having a defective child. Such defects occur in the low single digits anyway.

I had gall stones. I got my gall bladder removed through LAP surgery but I can feel a pull & pain in my right upper abdomen. I feel it more at lying down or breathing hard or when I try streching. Sometimes it seems to be Muscular pain, sometimes pain deep inside.Whatever it is, it is bothering me to the extent that I have lost my sleep. Please Help me understand what it is?

t you are feeling is due to the surgery. when lap surgery is done, not only is the skin cut but a membrane on the inside is also cut. this membrane is not stitched so the incision does not close easily. sometimes it takes as much as 2 years for this to heal. sometimes there will be a knot form at the incision, this is a gut pushing through the hole of the membrane. you can gently push this back with your fingers. you will feel this problem more when you bend over. be patient and it will heal eventually.\n\nmy wife has gone through the same surgery, May 2004, and she is still having the same problems that you are having. just so you know the doctors will tell you that every thing is fine. feel free to contact me about any information that I might be able to help you with. I am an herbalist and I might be able to find something in the herbs that can help you. contact: widowmaker54@yahoo.com\ngood luck and best wishes to you.


it was a felony. and when i make an application for employment they ask if ive had a felony conviction.

Adjudication is formal resolution of a matter.  If your case was deferred, it will be adjudicated later.  At that time, the charges may be dropped, i.e., you complied with the terms of the deferral, or the charges may be reinstated, in which case you might eventually be convicted of the felony.  \n\nHowever, unless and until you do receive a conviction, you have no legal obligation to disclose such on an employment application.  Requiring you to disclose your having been arrested or charged prior to being convicted would run contrary to our country's "innocent until proven guilty" doctrine.\n\nOne caveat:  If you are hired and are convicted at a later date, you may or may not have an obligation to tell your employer of the conviction.  This would be the case if laws exist that preclude a convicted felon from holding the position you seek.  For example, in many states a convicted felon may not practice pharmacy.

have you considered really studying just one body part on a human? obviously not. anyone who studies the human eye for example, would have no doubt that it was created. it is just too complex to have evolved. oh, another question, why are we symetric if we were not designed. like if we evolved, why don't we have two arms on one side of our body and none on the other?

because we evolved to be best at surviving, so having two arms on one side would not aid survival at all. what a stupid question! you are trying to make an intelligent point but you just sound really stupid!!

Trachea divides into bronchi, Bronchi divides into bronchioles and then inte alveoli. Alveoloi are called the air-sacs and they are involved in the air respiration process.\nSo the smallest branch of bronchi are the alveoli(plural)and alveolus(singular).


It used to be that proper grammar was the only way. Now a days people have lousy use of grammar.\nIs it only me or does it bother other people too??

Far too many people with very poor literacy skills have access to a computer. Literacy should be like hygiene; practice it every day.


no matter how many times you multiply it, you can always get the number 9 again.  \nfor example, 3 time 9 = 27 (- 2 plus 7 = 9)\n\n12 times 9 = 108 (10 plus 8 = 9)\n\n6 times 9 = 72 (7 plus 2 = 9)\n\nthis doesnt happen with any other number.\n\nstrange, eh?

Neat stuff, that's one of the tricks we teachers teach to children learning their multiplication tables.  It's an easy way to be sure your 9's are correct.

Opportunity I-Loan, a housing pilot program launched by the state of Illinois help illegal aliens secure a mortgage loan below market interest rate. The program was initiated last year by Governor Rod Blagojevich.\n\nAnd you are worried about your FICO score?\n\nThe illegal aliens stole your "american dream" right under your feet.

doesnt surprise me...politicians pandering for votes again and forgetting about who elected them in to office in the first place\n\npoliticians who give our tax dollars away to illegal aliens and sell our state services to companies that hire illegals and dont give them medical should be hung from street poles.... after they have rescinded their unamerican laws


how do you know if oyur boyfriend really loves you and he tells you he loves you but he dont always act like he loves you?

Actions speak louder than words!  The words are lies..the actions are truth...stick to that and you'll always know!  If he always remembers you, thinks of you, surprises you, wants to be with you, ditches his friends for you, buys the cologne you say is totally hot, wears the shirt you bought him 24/7 and apologizes for being a jerk first even if you were a bigger jerk than him he loves you.  Basically, guys don't usually fall hard, especially the young ones cuz they're too busy having guy fun and being free to nail anything that moves but when one does, you'll know and he won't have to say a word!  I knew mine fell hard for me because he stopped hanging so much with the guys, called all the time, always wanted to be with me, would give up really great fun stuff just to be with me doing nothing special...he couldn't bare to be apart from me.  Not to say that a person should abandon their whole life for you, if he does something is wrong with him.  But, his spare time is his decision and if he makes it about you, he is sprung!


Waht is the fine for possession of alcohol in a dry county in mississipii

63-3-7 has nothing to do with alcohol... it permits the DMV to print "Rules of the Road" booklets.\n\nAs for the possession of alcohol, 67-1-9 says that the first offense is punihsable by $100-$500 and 1 week to 3 months in jail. The second offense is punihsable by $100-$5,000 and 60 days to 6 months. The third offense is punihsable by $100-$5,000 and 1-5 years.


like we dont have the ny power any more and all the others i think we need more publiciity for WOMENS soccer

The WUSA folded due to an incomplete business plan.  Player wages were overspent for the sponsorship dollars being brought in.  Attendance was grossly overstated in projections.  Losses mounted to quickly to stop the financial bleeding.  A wide broadcast deal never materialized. Sponsors and investors fled the scene before a solid capital base could be established.\nFear not, the WUSA will likely be back in 2 years.  the business plan is being developed by more business-savvy people in conjunction with soccer supporters this time.  The league will be on much more solid ground when it relaunches.

i am getting married in august and my sister is planning the bachelorette party but one of my girls in the wedding is under age and can't get into any of the bars. does any one have ideas as to what we can do? she is 20 but no fake id? help

How about bringing the party to yours or someone elses house! That way you can do what you like and if it comes down to it, the rest of you can go out another night instead of leaving the young one out of the "real" party!\nBesides at home you can get as drunk as you would like and not worry about making fools of yourselves, play games, stripper, whatever you want!!


I know, being a Catholic, that The DaVinci Code is not real. Just a fictional novel made with pieces of a religion. But what do you think. I want to hear of what the community says about the DaVinci Code. I have read both the book, and seen the movie.

All the hype around the Da Vinci Code makes me laugh.  The book is listed as SPECULATIVE FICTION.  That means that there is some historical facts but the basis is fiction.  I haven't read it, nor will I see the movie.  I have my own theories on Jesus and him being married.  I have more of a chance of being accurate than the book.  You see Jesus was jewish and became a rabbi.  Rabbinical law back then stated that a rabbi HAD TO BE MARRIED.  So the wedding at Caanan was his to Mary Magdelen.  He probably did have kids and that was the Medici line of rulers that claimed "divine right of rule".


I, lile a lot of others have had some pretty hard knocks and a pretty hard life, some brought on myself, others not,I am 40 years old now, I was sexually abused, which I've never been able to talk to anyone about, my mother literally hated me and made life unbearable, and abused me from the time I was about 9 years old, I couldn't fit everything she did to me into this space! when my dad died a year and a half ago, the dam broke and everything I'd been feeling and repressing all these years resurfaced but I still can't talk about certain things with anyone, I quit my job, I rarely leave my house, when I do I am anxious and nervous until I get home again, I have been to therapy after therapy, it leaves me frustrated and mad, spent I don't even know how much on self help books, tried every anti-depressant known to man it doesn't help, I don't know how to just be 'normal I was never taught self worth I was taught the opposite, I feel like I am at the end of my rope and have nowhereto turn

Changing isn't easy.  There are steps you have to do even if you don't want to, but once the ball is rolling, you'll change quicker and you'll wonder how you lived life so long the way you did.  Steps you have to take; \n1) you have to talk about what happened.  There are support groups for sexually abused people, find one, join it, talk about it.  Opening up is difficult, but keeping it inside just keeps you from letting go and moving on.  In a support group you'll find other people who know what you're going through and can help guide you.\n2) stop seeing or talking to your mother until you have your feet on solid ground.  Abuse tends to lead to one of two outlooks; either you hate her and blame her for everything, or you hate yourself and blame her for nothing.  Both ways are self-destructive.  Stay away from her until you feel ready to face her again.\n3) you must forgive yourself.\n4) you must forgive her.  (And anyone else who abused you mentally, physically, emotionally, or sexually.)\n5) because you realize that you were never taught self worth, you already have a step covered.  Now go further and make the decision to change that.  Do you want to remain miserable and feeling unworthy?  Then "rewire" your brain.  Tell yourself you are worth it, tell yourself you're better than this, tell yourself you do deserve to be happy- say this over and over every day until you believe it.  It takes time, be patient.  When you start to believe it, your behaviour will change, your outlook on life will change, and you'll feel better- less anxious.  (It sounds silly, but how do you think we learn anything?  Repetition.)\n6) understand, and learn to be okay with the fact that things may not improve.  You've lived 40 years with this- without examining it and correcting it.  Change may come, but it could take years.  It may not come, but you can at least do things differently.  Even the happiest person feels sad sometimes.  It's all about how you deal with it.  You can't dwell on it, that keeps it alive and you dead.  Find little things that bring you peace or happiness, even if it's candy, or a song.  Allow yourself to take pleasure in these things.\n7) and last- people often repeat what they've been taught in childhood.  You can't take your pain out on other people, it's not their baggage to carry.  This is a slippery step and definately worth the frustration and money spent on therapy to overcome it.


"YE shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you."  Deuteronomy 4:2

The thing about Deuteronomy is that it itself is a late addition to the scriptures. Leviticus, Numbers, Exodus and Genesis had been in existence in some form, not the finalized, edited versions we have today, for a long time.  But under the religious reforms of King Josiah in 622 BCE (see 2 Kings 22-23), a scroll was "miraculously found" hidden away in the Temple. This book that had been hidden away all those years was called Mishneh Torah, which in English is Second Law and in Greek is Deuteronomy. This book mostly consists of Moses standing in front of the Israelites reiterating everything that happened over the last 40 years since the Exodus and presenting the laws in new arrangements and a straightforward manner. It contains theological and legal themes not existent in the original conceptions of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. Deuteronomy represents the works of the priestly and ruling classes to reinvigorate the Jews into piety. These themes conform to all the reforms which Josiah enacted, and it is believed by scholars to represent a reworking of Jewish law to conform to his revivalism. Furthermore, editors working in this period went through the old stories of Genesis etc. and wrote them down in the finalized versions we have today. In many parts of the Penteteuch this editing process is clear, such as the two different accounts of creation in Genesis and the different ways God is presented in the span of just a few chapters. This form of literary analysis is called redaction criticism, analyzing how editors made changes to the books they worked with to fulfil their own agendas.\n\nAll that being said, the author(s) of Deuteronomy wished to establish a final, codified, unchangable form of Israelite religion to combat the various forms of paganism and idolatry which spread throughout the land and was even endorsed by some kings (such as Ahab).


Hi, \nMy dad is needing back surgery. He is wanting to get his disc shaved ASAP. What is the down-time when doing this? (How long will it take to recover?) Thanks!

I had that done. I was feeling better INSTANTLY, like someone flipped the pain switch back off. The disc was pressing on a nerve and I was in SO much pain prior to surgery. Hope your dad gets the same relief I did.\n\nTime off work will depend on what sort of a job he has. I don't have a physically demanding job and was back at work in a week.

me and my boyfriend have been together for 8 months and i deeply love him but we both have bad communication skills and he has no phone and he is never at home and he has no way to get in touch with me but i love him and I think i think he feels the same way!

If there is no communication it will not last.  YOu only been with him for 8 months  I would move on.  That would be the easy way out but no one likes the easy way.  Most likely you will go on for few more month or until the point you say enough is enough.


I have a bachelor's degree in communication and want to get a Master of Arts in Teaching degree, but I am having a hard time getting a scholarship or graduate assistantship job at the school (East Tennessee State).  I am open to any suggestion.  I am thinking that maybe I should get the certification, get a job, and then try to go to get a masters.

Get involved in student activities.  Schools are always looking for students who get involved and scholarships usually consider that above grades.


I have just gone through two years of college and still can't decide on a major.  I'm considering joining the military to give me some time to get things in order so that I can finish up school with a better attitude and hopefully a direction.  My only problem is that I can't decide which branch I should join. I'm thinking it's between the Army, the Marines, and the Air Force. Any advice would be great. Thanks - Sean.

(i am assuming you are from the United States)  depends on what you are skilled in and what you are interested in.  the military will look at your strengths and weaknesses and train you for what you're good for.  If you are extremely intelligent don't be surprised if you get a desk job.  in the army or marines you'll probably become a foot soldier or a tank operator or something, but you may also be trained in helicopter flight.  the Airforce will likely have you as a aircraft mechanic but there is a small chance of becoming a pilot (less than 7% in the Airforce fly, i think).  If you want to join the military but want to be safe as possible, join the Navy.  those ships we got are pretty safe considering all the wars the US is in is with terrorists in mountains, not against countries with a well developed Navy.  these are just suggestions of things to look into.  basically just go into whatever branch that can help you build your strengths.  sorry for the lengthy post.


just out of curiosity, is it true that catholics still beleive that using any contraception, like condoms or the pill is a sin?

Let me try this one. Why has condom or any form of contraception came into the minds of people? Simple, because there are more people who take sex casually with less or no regards to its consequences but rather just in order to satisfy lust. The urge to sex in very difficult to control and it is the reason why more people fall to the temptation rather than evade it.\n\nTo God sex is sacred and should only be used in the process of procreation not self satisfaction. But to humans it is interpreted as like the need for hunger, thirst and sleep. It has finally become more of a biologocal need rather than a spiritual need. Thus, the reason why humans began to believe that it is part of the human basic need and do it anytime they want, or any possible ocassion that made them forget the responsibilities of such act.\n\nThat's the reason why catholics believe that contraception is not the real answer. It is the strong human attribute of being Godly that requires him or her to be disciplined and respectful towards sex that really counts if one truly deserves to be called a Christian without the aid of any kind of artificial discipline in the form of contraceptives. This way population rise can also be put in check.\n\nSex is a natural process of procreation that God gave to humans to enjoy within the sanctity of marriage. But how can it be when humans claim to worship God but at the same time lust for sex? \n\nThat's why dogs are called dogs because when a b**ch is in heat, male dogs go crazy and would oftentimes fight each other just to satisfy their lust. But men should be men and men are expected to think and reason the way men should, that's why they belong to the highest hierarchy in the animal kingdom because of this. So why should we go down to the level of the dogs by using artificial contraception and yet demand to be called as decent and educated. This reasoning is just for the apologist of such twisted cause.

I keep getting error when setting up win OS and when I do get the OS up, the outlook crashes or IE crashes after a while.

So set your clock to its normal rating and install the OS, check it out, and if things are fine, then overclock and compare.  Could be that there is some other problem, and you should be getting an error report in Event viewer [under Administrative Tools] that you can examine.


how do I code for many spaces in between text or images?   usually nbsp denotes one space. Suppose I want to leave ten spaces in between images or text, do I type nbsp ten times or is there a shorter code?

Man, you got to lay off the mushrooms.  They are bad for ya.\n\nDon't think I'm the one to give you the answer  I believe you are wanting.  I'll give the answer as it applies to me.\n\nThe scars in my heart are a part of me I don't want to change, they make me stronger, therefore the sharks are no more than a imagined danger, they shall not harm me.\nIf the ocean is all the tears I cried, it's one with me, for it is my compassion and sorrow, my joys and my self pity.

They separate me only if I choose to allow them.\nLastly, If I'm a boat, then my sails are my hopes and dreams and the wind is my fate.  I shall ride the winds wherever they shall take me, for no ocean is endless, beyond every island is another, nothing is forever and the only thing that holds me back is being afraid to raise my hopes to the wind to see where it takes me.

We just want to have someone come to the beach and marry us. Preferrably at Gulf Shores or somewhere nearby. What do we need to do? We don't want decorations or anything like that.

You need to find out what is required for a marriage license where ever you choose to have the ceremony and find an officiant that is available.  Once those 2 things are squared away you probably just need a couple of witnesses.  Good luck!


If you watched the British one, Jim is quite different from Tim in his approach.  I think it really worked for this show- I love that they've taken it in their own direction so as not to weaken the original.  I'm so smitten with the love story or the Tim&Dawn/Jim&Pam characters.  I thought the scene was the best thing I've seen on TV for a while (other than Chris getting booted from Idol).  Hearing what Jim said & seeing him cry was perfect.  What did you think?

Yes! I loved it! Jim was so bold in that, I cried. I can't believe I cried! It was so perfect.

Hi! My fiancé and I decided to get married during our vacation time in Branson, Missouri. The wedding is supposed to take place on May 31, but I still do not have arrangements made. It's supposed to be a total of 9 people (including us)- just the immediate family. Just ceremony, no need for reception. I wanted to use the Chapel of the Doves, but I realized that it's closed.  I would love to be married somewhere in a Gazebo ot just a beautiful place. However, I am from Chicago and have never been to Branson before, so it's really hard for me to plan. Any ideas? Thanks so much! :)

I got married in Branson too and there is the sweetest little wedding church  (it is just for weddings) where we got married. It has been moved to another location (it is now on F hwy). It is a log church and just perfect for a small wedding. Try to look up wedding chapels on google or ask info about it from the operator.\nI was married there 15 years ago in November and have been so happy. \nBest Wishes!


What are his key concepts? Where does he stand theologically? Just trying to gain an idea of where he is at. \n\nFor instance, are there any things he teaches that you disagree with?

i don't really disagree with anything he says, he is a very wise man, and intelligent as well, he lives a godly life, try listening to him on the radio, that's where you can get a better understanding of him

No matter how much time we buy, we can never spend it all.\n\nWho sings that?


NOTICE: notice the word "tales". \n\nQuran Ch6\n[25] And of them there are some who listen to you; but We have set veils on their hearts, so they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; and even if they see every one of the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) they will not believe therein; to the point that when they come to you to argue with you, the disbelievers say: "These are nothing but TALES of the men of old." \n\nQuran ch8\n[31] And when Our Verses (of the Qur'ân) are recited to them, they say: "We have heard this (the Qur'ân); if we wish we can say the like of this. This is nothing but the TALES of the ancients." \n\nQuran ch23\n[83] "Verily, this we have been promised - we and our fathers before (us)! This is only the TALES of the ancients!" \n\ncareful of what you believe.\nAgree?

"God" didn't step out of the clouds, sit down with some vellum and quill and write that, sorry. Some regular ol' man who claimed "God" spoke to him did.\n\nWhen this happens nowadays, the person in question is usually placed under psychiatric care.


In regard to giving an employee benefit plan to my managers, how should I convey the primary strategic concern?\n\nWhat is the best way to justify life insurance as an additional benefit?\n\nThanks!

Tell them it would be a very good idea to introduce life insurance. For a very little value their employees will earn a peace for mind knowing that their faimly is financially secure in any eventuality. It also acts as a motivating factor for the employees knowing that the company cares about them.

Love is the state of mental awareness achieved by acknowledging and accepting the responsibilities, sacrifices, and differences that must be overcome in order to have a healthy and exciting relationship.\n\nLove is often mistaken for the more emotion based thought processes of passion, lust, and desire- which are derived more commonly from insecurity and sexual or emotional needs.\n\nYeah, it sounds like that came from a textbook but those are my own words.

Sometimes, during the day, I pee a little in my pants and can't stop it, even though I don't want to pee. I'm 13. I know that it's not a period because my underwear wasn't red or anything. What is going on and how can I stop it?

im 20, when i was in high school and middle school i had the same problem, but your not peeing yourself, when you are a developing teen female some times you'll get a clear discharge in your panties, this is normal, most girls get it around your age, don't be scared, it will come and go for a few years, your body is changing and becoming a women, if you have any other questions about it let me know we can talk, ash


What can family and friends do to help him in the recovery stage (once he is out of hospital)? Personal experiences will be much appreciated...

There's no way to know.  It depends on what extent the brain was damaged during the stroke, but even this isn't all that predective.  I've seen some stroke victims with a lot of damage make great recoivery.  A lot of it depends on how he functions cognitively and his motivation level.  It is definitely in his favor that he is young for a stroke patient.  Another good indicator is how much recovery he makes within the first year.\n\nAs a physical therapist I've worked with lots of stroke patients.  I'd recommend that you get him to an acupuncturist.  Acupuncture can really help stroke patients recover.


this is for a school project and i cannot find a simple enough chart that breaks down into the divisions i need actually i can't find anything whatsoever please help if u can.

The two files below should have the information you need. If the first one is not detailed enough, see the second one.


my dad is working on his P.H.D and he has to translate a book of the bible in greek and he has been pretty grumpy

Be supportive to him.  Let him know how proud you are of him to be working on his degree.  Give him a big hug and tell him how much you love him.\n\nAlso, be sure that he has time to do his school work.  Help him by keeping your room clean, helping with dinner, whatever else you can do to help around the house


I live overseas but am planning on using Skype-in to have a US phone number.  My parents live in the 480 area code and use Qwest for local service) but no 480 area code numbers are available.  However, 602 area code numbers are.  Just want to see if that will be a free local call from them to my new Skype-in number before finalzing the number. I looked all over the web and Qwest's web pages but couldn't find any info - thanks for any help.

Calls from 480 are free to 623 and 602\nPhoenix used to be 602 area code\nA few years ago they split 602 into three area codes\nCalls are all free (local) with the area codes 602, 623 and 480


Please Read this first, thanks.\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5015552.stm\nI know this is a small church with a minimal amount of memembers.  But they are making alot of noise with anti gay protests at military funerals. Some of these soilders arent even gay. Now the states are passing laws so that no one can protest at a funeral.  They say this takes away their freedom of speech.  Your thoughts.

On the one hand I am glad that people are now taking an interest in this group and are offended by what they do. For years before the Iraq War this group went around and protested at the funerals for people who died of AIDS (again not all of them were gay...I have a friend who lost a family member to AIDS and she wasn't gay and they protested at the funeral with signs that read "AIDS IS GOD'S PUNISHMENT FOR ALLOWING HOMOSEXUALITY" and stuff like that and they shouted all kinds of rude things that should never really be shouted at a funeral). \n\nOn the other hand, while I am offended by both their protesting funerals in general, but even more so that they are now protesting military funerals, I do realize that they have the freedom "of speech" and "to peacefully assemble". So while I think it is completely offensive (as well as probably nothing more than a publicity thing anyways....afterall they weren't getting any attention with the AIDS funerals or with all their statues they wanted to build in cities that said hateful anti-gay things, etc, so now they have found a venue that gives them this publicity), not only offensive and just plain rude and tacky, but I realize that our nation gives us the freedom of speech and asks us to exercise it responsibly. Since they are not causing violence or disrupting traffic, etc. Still, do I think it pushes the boundaries...yes I think it pushes it. But about as much as the KKK. With freedom of speech you have to allow for the speech you don't like and with the freedom to peacefully assemble, you have to allow even the groups you disagree with to peacefully assemble. The most the rest of us can do is to counter-protest....to peacefully assemble with a counter message and to perhaps do it in a much more respectful way to those who have died and to the families that are grieving (whether they be fallen heros of our military or be fallen heros who've fought the battle against AIDS).


While sleeping I had various spots on my back that became hot.  I turned over, laid on my side, on my back, on the other side but I still got these hot spots.  Why?  This is the first time this has happened to me.

bathe at night , clean linen, but wake up with itchies all over . does anybody know what could be causing this . ?

Have you change soap or detergent? Even shampoo can cause you to itch.  Also stress has been known to cause people to itch. It is a way for your body to handle it.


Please provide a link to a website with the information because I will need it for my bibliography.

Look into Eugenics. Eugenics means "good blood" it's a "science" about genes, good genetics. It's the idea of breeding humans like dogs. Mating the best with the best. Hitler got the german people to accept the whole thing by calling it Nazi Eugenics. Sounds a lot better than "Kill anyone who is not perfect!" You will find much more about what Hitler's "perfect race" was by searching for "Nazi Eugenics" and you'll sound smart in class for using a sophisticated word too! :)


Scenerio: Wednesday afternoon I went to the dentist, filled out the forms; specifically NO pain meds needed. I was put to sleep, my friend picked me up and brought me home. I slept all night, woke up Thursday morning, sent kids to school, showered, went to Pain Management doctors app't. He was short, which I attributed to being busy. He gave me my prescriptions and left. The nurse came in and very rudely told me that because I have seen another doctor and gotten pain meds from them the doctor will no longer see me. Look for another doctor. I told her I did not. She got very very rude and said I did. I asked when, and she told me to think about it. The only thing that came to mind was the dentist. I told her if the dentist gave my friend a script then he probably got it filled thinking he was doing something good. \nI called my friend when I was in the parking lot and he told me that they were on the top shelf because he didn't want the kids to get them. No doctor now, pain is fierce,

The answer to your question is a lot simpler than the story you gave.  A dcotor can dismiss you because he doesn't like your hair color.  He's in business and can choose to do business with anyone he wants.

Why u People Keep reporting me to yahoo But No one Reported this Racist Bi7ch Malika.Read her question Below.?\noK..GUYs N GALS ANSWER THIS ONE.AND DONT START YELLING AT ME.\nok here is the problem.i cant stand black people but yet i am an asian.its not the color or looks i dont like them ever since i have lived in usa i see they have very bad attitude,the way they carry them selves are very disgusting.no respect for womens they cant even raise up their kids right.not everyone of them is like that but yet most of them are like that.if u walk by a black dude they would make a comment on u which makes u feel very uncomfortable.and speaking of black girls they would not even knw u and start hating u.darama queens.so do u guys think am i being racist or what i am saying make sense.be honest.my friends think i am lil but racist against black ppl.but i am not i knw few black old womens who i talk to and they are very decent ladie\nExactly thats what i am trying to say.they complaint abt ppl being racist against them but they are the one who need to bring a class in them.

Well, looking at your profile, I see that youve posted this question like 5 times. People cant stand reading the same crap over and over, and worse yet, they cant stand someone who thinks that they have been treated differently than everyone else. \n\nI dont know what you did to get reported, but you obviously offfended people. "Malika" on the other hand, althought not intelligently, she was able to convey her point. And while her point may sound racist, it probably rang true to more people than whatever you posted did. I can understnad what Mailka is saying - while I perhaps do not agree with it entirely, much of it is true. She was explaining why she feels a certain way. You had probably made some sweeping generalization and did not back it up.\n\nWhatever the issue, just know that LIFE IS NOT FAIR.

When I was young I earned money by cutting grass more than anything else.  But I also went to neighbors in the surrounding community and asked if they had any yard work they needed help with.  I got several customers who would call me back over and over (because I worked hard and tried to do a very good job for them.)  \n\nIf you are going to do something like that you should talk to your folks and be sure it is OK with them and ask their advice about what a fair wage to ask for is.\n\nSame goes for baby-sitting or anything else you think of.\n\nWhen I was younger I got a pot holder loom and loops and made pot holders and sold them door to door in the neighborhood.  Mine were better than anything you could buy in the store. Still are.  Today I only make them for myself and to give to family, but they are twice as good as what is commercially available.

Well, I don't know what is your doubt but if you have it, you should tell him. Tell him your feeling and you two solve the problem together.


I have to do a report for school. Well yeah, I basically know what's important to teens, since I am one, but it would really help if I got a few other opinions to see where to go with report. Thanks in advance!!!

There are things that seem important. Those are the things most teens concentrate on-- observables: clothes, hair, "looks", money to buy the things that teen society identifies as "must haves." Just look at any teen magazine. It is filled with messages about buying things to show that you're "cool."\n\nThen there are things that are important at a deeper level. When things on this deeper level aren't right, then the pressure increases to get more of those things in the "observable" catagory, above,\n\nAt this deeper level, what is most important to teens is self-esteem and acceptance by others. We could say "self-acceptance" and "other-acceptance." Teen age years are a time of developing one's own standards and judgements independent from one's parents. It's easy to become convinced that you'll never measure up, that you'll never be smart enough, good-looking enough, capable enough. Some teens get so used to hearing the negative voices that they vercompensate for a deep-seated anxiety that they'll never be good enough. They start to become arrogant and  self-centered. You probably know kids (and adults!) just like that. You suspect that beneath their arrogance and controlling ways is a deep feeling that they're not really good enough, so they cover up by pretending the opposite.\n\nPart of the problem of self-acceptance is being accepted by others--not just for what you do, but just because you are. We all want to be accepted just for being us, without having to constantly prove ourselves to anyone. It's hard to believe you can be accepted by others if you don't feel accepted by your parents and/or your sibling(s). Some parents, unfortunately, criticize their kids constantly, forgetting that life is a first-time experience for everybody, and you don't get it completely right during your first 20 years.\n\nWhen you think that you won't be accepted by others, especially by those you admire and like, you can be driven by disappointment or depression to engage in risky behaviour that you think will get you accepted. Or, you may be driven to require more of those observables, to either prove to others that you are as good as they, or merely because having "things" brings a small measure of short-term comfort.\n\nSo, what is important to teens? Self-acceptance and Other-acceptance. When that fails, then it is things to buy.

I hope that someone actually knows the answer to this.\n\nI order a number of integrated circuit chips from a big hardware company. They filled the order with the correct number of chips in an antistatic bag labelled as the correct chip. I've now realized that the chips were actually the wrong chip in a falsely labelled bag! This hasn't been a trivial problem, I've lost literally days of work trying to sort this problem out.\n\nDoes anyone know what, if anything, I'm entitled to in this situation. I feel like the bare minimum should be a new order shipped for free and the money for shipping if I send the old chips back. If you don't know from a legal perspective, then feel free to give some personal input.

get a RGA number\nreturn the goods ( at their expense )\nyou'll get the next shipment ( hopefully correct )\nlegally you got nothing to stand on with respect to lost time ect..\nno company will see you with a guarantee of delivery tied to your work/ productivity gains / losses, there limit of liability stops once the order ( wrong or right ) gets processed. It's your responsibility to allow lead times ect..wrong shipped error not their's with delay to a given project, there's is order accuracy. All you can do is shop for a better vendor if you are a repeat buyer.\n\nI work as a processing agent and screw ups on order are a fact of life, my decision on whom I purchase from, is based on level of accuracy and level of service ( in terms of rectifying their mistakes ), lowest price does not necessarily drive the decision.


I face this everyday,some say its my smile,but even when I smile,alot of people still don,t like me! (how do I know) they get affended just because I looked at them,I always have to say hello first,or most won,t ever greet me. Especially at work!WHATS THE PROBLEM!!!

I think the problem is you're worrying about what people think about you too much. Of course people form their own opinions of you! You do the same with them. It's all part of life.

Sometimes you can feel pretty invisible in a large call center, and the management is usually strict on breaks and lunches.\n\nIt takes a thick skin, also, because people will yell at you a lot.\n\nBut yea, it is pretty easy money...it's not like there is any heavy lifting.

I just saw the first episode of American Dad ever, and the format is so the same. Is it a publicity stunt to axe Family Guy?

my boyfriend smokes weed every day and we want sex so what are the chances of me getting pregnaunt from him? he smokes it every day so im not sure how/if that affects his sperm count?


hey i am in need of some serious help and advice,\ni recently really hurt my boyfriend emotionally,(dont wanna go into 2 much detail but i DID NOT CHEAT)\nanyway he says that he still loves me and cares 4 me but dunno if he can trust me any more i sed i will do anythin but he doesnt know what i have to do himself were both really confused,he is 19 and im 18 i love this guy very very much and have been with him for a year for 7 months i was living with him in our own 1st home together, i no i was in the wrong by hurting him but at the time i thought the relationship was over so i danced with this other guy up town then when my fella asked what happened when i went up town i was honest and told him but what i DID NOT realise was that when he sed it was over he neva ment it  so u can imagine how much it hurt him when he found out i was dancin with this other guy, the main things are that was all it was just dancin, i love my fella , i want him bk and i wanna make things right between us

Time heals all wounds - From what you are describing you both are hurt - he said it was over so you went dancing - then he said you weren't supposed to because he wasn't serious when he ended it - what, are you a mind reader - if some guy tells me it's over - well, then it's over - and I'm going dancing - so my advise is tell him he hurt you with the it's over thing and you went dancing thinking you were a free woman - if that wasn't the case then you are sorry but if he loves you he needs to be more careful when choosing his words - and if you love him - maybe stay home and cry it out the first night and save dancing for the next just in case he changes his mind again!  Good Luck


I really love her but she loves talking and when  have People over for lunch or dinner,  or when we eat out, she talks with her mouth full, even though, Thats the first thing I remind her not to do before we go out.\n\nEven if theyre my guests, she joins us and speaks with her mouthfull, Its disgusting.

I think that's a hard one.I'm sure that it does bother you but she probably will have a hard time changing this rather disgusting habit.Therefore I would suggest that you do your best to control your uncontrollable desire to smack the food right out of her mouth.She is your mother and she deserves your respect. I'm sure she could name a list of your less desirable qualities as well after all she was the one who wiped your bottom for two or three years when you couldn't do it yourself. If it bothers you that much and after talking to her about it without food in her pie hole she still insists on the seee food approach. Well perhaps its time to avoid dinner with her and your friends. Good luck!

In Christianity, if you do not believe in God, you are sent to hell, right? But how are we supposed to know that God is real? I mean, a bunch of people tell me all the time that God is real, but how am I supposed to know they aren't lying? After all, other people in other religions tell people that theirs is correct, so how are we supposed to decide which one to believe? The Bible is a piece of evidence, but how do I know it wasn't written by people who just wanted to tell an entertaining story? There are many books in other religions too. I feel like if I die and talk to God, he might say "There were many signs that you should have seen", and then I'd say "Well, all I saw were a bunch of people telling me about you, but people lie all the time, and we can never know if anyone is telling the truth, or if anyone is right about something that can't be tested". It seems like we shouldn't be held accountable for believing something that has no more apparent validity than other theories.

Jesus told us very clearly about God, and that he is REAL, many people question Jesus as the son of God, but all those miracles he performed were to prove it. so, as he is telling the truth, there is a God. You need faith.


The internet has become a major research tool for university studentd but many students are unaware of the disadvantages of using the internet for their research.Discuss the problems of relying too heavily on the internet for research and suggest the ways that students can minimize these problems.

I think we cant minimize it. As we all know technology is changing fast and we dont want to be left behind. Yes, there are disadvantages but its advantages can out weigh them.


Imagine that there are two kinds of Yellow lights.\nFirst one: An original yellow which come directly from the sun and is not composed of any other lights.\nSecond one: A composed yellow which is composed of green and red.\nWhat are the differences between them, I meen are their wacelength, speed and etc. diffrent? If so, Why?\n\nThank you

Of course, sunlight is made up of many colors.  However, we can think about "original" (or "monochromatic", or more realistically nearly monochromatic) yellow lights from other sources (like a laser).\n\nWith the composed yellow, you can separate the green and the red back out.  One way to do this would be with a prism.  While the monochromatic yellow light would just stay yellow, the composed red+green would separate back out, with each color in its position in the rainbow.\n\nA more sophisticated way to do this would be with a spectrometer.  The monochromatic yellow would show just the one wavelength, in the yellow part of the spectrum.  The composed light would show two wavelengths: one each in the green and red parts of the spectrum.  It would show no light in the yellow part of the spectrum.\n\nSnawshia is right about the speed: in a vacuum, they'll have the same speed.  In other media (water, glass, etc.), each color may have a slightly different speed.

what are the major organs of the endocrine system and explain

the endocrine system's main function is to maintain homeostasis. it does so mostly through chemical messengers called hormones. hormones are produced in one organ and used in another. the endocrine system uses many glands such as the pituitary gland, which is like the director of the endocrine system, the hypothalamus, which controls the pituitary gland, and the pineal gland, which controls growth and development and so on and so forth. there are also numerous other glands, like the thyroid gland, the and non-glands, like the pancreas, that secrete (another word for make) hormones, in the case of the pancreas, it secretes insulin and glycogen, which lower and increase the level of sugar in your blood. \n\n\nhope this helps you at all and you had better not copy  this word for word.


I just need it for getting around mostly... but I'll be using it for light terrain riding. I don't want to spend more than $500.

i'd echo prairiebiscuit's answer - Giant really do pack a stackload of features into their bikes.\n\nSome mountain bikes that regulalrly do well in the entry-level grouptests are:\n\nGiant Terrago / Rincon, Specialized Hardrock, Mongoose Amasa, GT Avalanche, Claud Butler Cape Wrath\n\nAs most of the guys here are saying, do make sure you go to a proper bike shop and speak to someone who knows what they're talking about. It'd be better if you could go during the week (and not on a busy Saturday) as you will get better service.\n\nMake sure you get a test ride, and if you think you may get bitten by the mountain biking bug, then aim for something with a reasonable frame that you could justafiably upgrade the components on.\n\nOne point I would make, is that for the amount you are looking to spend, I'd probably avoid going for disk brakes. Some manufacturers will put cable-operated disk brakes (cheaper and far less effective than hydraulic disks) on as a selling feature, though to be honest a reasonable set of v-brakes are as good in all but the grimiest conditions. The added cost of the disks will probably mean that other features (like the fork or crankset) are of a lower-spec than on a similarly priced bike with v-brakes. The thing to make sure of is that the frame, fork and wheel hubs have all got the necessary mounts to allow you to easily upgrade to (hydraulic) disk brakes in the future, if you think you may want to.\n\nThe possible exception to this rule is the Giant Terrago (not sure how much that sells for in the U.S.), which comes equipped with Giant's own-brand MPH hydraulic disks.


I'm looking for the actual cost to argue for death, not overall.

My fiance is upside down in a pickup truck that he bought in CA - now lives in NC.  It's a 2000 Toyota, and has 106,000 miles.  Problem is, he still owes $11,000+ on it. None of the dealers are giving him payoff, and he's having trouble finding someone to buy it outright because of the number of miles. He wants out of this payment ($400/mo), but his credit isn't great after his divorce either. I'm ready to scream.  What's your opinion?

Try selling it to a private party for as close to teh payoff as  possible.  What's the KBB value of the truck?  If that doesn't work, keep the truck and absorb the payments for a while longer.  When possible make more than 1 payment a month.  If he looses any money on a trade in, it'll just get rolled into the price of a new vehicle, increasing the payment even more.  Best bet, suck it up and pay it as quickly as possible.


there is a big problem with both SSI and Social Security Disability regs concerning the spouses of disabled persons working.  Spouses are told that they cannot work to contribute to the home and the spouse receive lowered benefits. It would make better sense for the spouses of disabled individuals be allowed to work to reduce the load on the government, but this is not allowed.  I would like to see this change, and need a starting place.  Thank you!

This is definitely a problem.Start by reading everything you can about the system and it's rules.Become a component of the system the way it is.You learn allot more if people think you are with them than against them.Outline a plan for creating a bill.You are not looking to pass it you are looking for feed back and input.Then rewrite it and so on.It is truly amazing what you find once you start digging.Good luck
