Im trying to stay up for abour 5 more hours, but I can feel myself getting tired. How can I help myself stay awake?

1.Drink caffeinated coffee.\n2.Splash your face with hot or cold water, whichever is more shocking.\n3.Resist lying down. A sure fire way to put you to sleep.\n4.Keep moving. It helps.


u said i have to be friends with a guy first,then take it to higher levels.\nwe are now friends now.\nhow can we be more?

Talk to him, let him know how you feel.  But also let him know that the friendship is very important to you.  So if he doesn't feel the same way (or is nervous/scared), then make sure he knows how much you value his friendship.


can Yahoo give me this info or do I have to go to an HPD office and where is it located in Manhattan. can I get info over the phone? Tel #?\nOR , do you have another suggestion? Thanks-very important.

Well that is standard PHP of course. I think you figured out something wrong.


I'm 27 soon to be 28 and no kids. Not that I've been trying , just wondering?

The best thing to do is go to a fertility doctor and have them conduct tests. If you are unable to concieve, then they have other options for you if you are wanting children. You might want to bring your mate with so they can test also. Sometimes it's the guy, not always the girl. They would have solutions for that too. Good luck!


in regards to the United States knowing about the hijackers BEFORE 9-11....

There's this little news story now,  it takes a large chunk of time on national news and print and tv,  remember its the thing about Bush authorizing the NSA to listen to cell phone calls.\n\nSo able danger ended with some admiral or general saying we were told not to pursue what we had cause some white house clinton lawyer told us not to go any farther,\nand now george bush's lawyer, the attorney general, is saying its legal for us to spy and take action\n\nkick @ss

um...I think so, Brain, but burlap chafes me so...


i have known this guy forever and he is my best friend... me and him hang out every weekend and we kiss and cuddle and do other stuff but i never asked him if he liked me and we just started doin things together about a week or so ago and im afriad that if i tell him i like him he will back off cus all he wants it to be is a hook up......the other night he had a party and all he told me was that he wanted to be with me and i was the only one who made him feel wanted but he never siad he liked me and i dont know if he was forreal b/c he was drunk and messed up really bad on other stuff......... plz someone help me.........

Well, first off, you can't *make* someone like you.  \n\nSecond, tell him EXACTLY how you feel.  If he doesn't feel the same, and all he wants is a piece from you while you want more, kick him aside and find someone else who respects you for YOU and not your genitals.\n\nIn other words... communicate.  If you can't communicate now, you'll never be able to in a relationship, and before you know it?  You're on an episode of COPS, getting beaten up by your meth-addicted boyfriend who only wants you for sex.


And what is the rule, how many words should be capitalized?

not all novels capitalize the first few words in a chapter.  it is just a writing strategy that would catch the attention of the reader that a new part is beginning.  as a rule, though, capitalize all the letters in the first sentence IF THAT SENTENCE OCCUPIES ONLY THE FIRST LINE.  so technically, as a writing strategy and style, if you want to capitalize the first few words, capitalize the first line only.

Jim and Pam are my favorite characters. I think they are hilarious when they play jokes on Dwight. What are your favorite characters and why?

It started out a little boring until the rest of the cast started to break out.  I swear every single person on that show, the Indian Woman, the Alcoholic, The Heavy Guy, The Heavy woman,the Christian woman, Dwight, the stupid practical joke playing friend, the gay hispanic guy...  They're all hilairious!  I've seen a show where three or four characters are very funny but in this show it's like 15-18 people.  Everyone who is on screen steals the show!  Even the guys in the warehouse!

A battleship is streaming ahead with speed v and gun is mounted on the battleship so as to point straight backwards and is set at angle of elevation alpha.If v not is the speed of projection ( relative to the gun) show that the \nrange is = [2v(not) sin(alpha) (v(not) cos(alpha)-V)] / g\nand\nalso prove that angle of elevation for maximum range is\ncos inverse of [{V+sqrt(V^2+8V(not)^2)} over 4Vnot]\n\nnote : not is the subscript\n\nif somebody done it on paper then please send me the scanned image to my email xahid2k@yahoo.com

This is just the regular projectile motion problem (see your text) just with an added initial velocity in the x direction (the velocity of the ship).\n\nLet's take as our positive direction the direction the gun shoots. (That is, the ship is moving in the negative direction.) Thus, the initial x component of velocity of the projectile is the x-component of the guns velocity less the velocity of the ship. (I'm going to use Vo for the initial velocity, since using "not" as a subscript confuses me.)  And I'll use A for alpha to save space.\n\nVxo = Vo cos(A)- v\nVyo = Vo sin(A)\n\nOur equations of motion are\n\nX = Xo + Vox t + 1/2 ax t^2\nY = Yo + Voy t + 1/2 ay t^2\n\nTo find the range, we want when the projectile splashes back down again, i.e. Y = 0.  If we set Xo = 0, then X will be the range, i.e. the X position when Y = 0 again.  And there is no acceleration in the x direction, the y acceleration is -g, the acceleration of gravity.  Plugging all that in, we get\n\nR = Vxo t \nR = (Vo cos(A) - V) t                     (1)\n\n0 = Vyo t - g t^2/2\nVyo t = g t^2/2\nVyo = g t/2\n2 Vyo/g = t\n2 ( Vo sin(A)) / g = t                     (2)\n\nPlugging our expression for t (Eqn. 2) into Eqn. 1 yields\n\nR = (Vo cos(A) - V)2 ( Vo sin(A)) / g \n\nwhich is the formula you gave.\n\nTo find the max range, we can use calculus.  There may be a more straightforward way if you don't know calculus, but this works for me.\n\nThe range formula is a function R of variable A.  To find the max, take the derivative and set it equal to 0.  Thus\n\ndR/dA = 2 Vo/g [sin(A)(-Vo sin(A)) + (Vo cos(A) - V)cos(A)]\n       =2 Vo/g [-Vo sin^2(A) + Vo cos^2(A) - V cos(A)]\n\nusing a trig identity\n\n       =2 Vo/g[Vo cos^2(A) - Vo + Vo cos^2(A) - V cos(A)]\n       =2 Vo/g[2Vo cos^2(A) - V cos(A) - Vo]\n\nWhat we have here is a quadratic equation with the variable cos(A).  When we set it equal to 0, in order to find the minimum, we can use the quadratic formula.\n\ncos(A) = (- (-V) + SQRT[V^2 - 4(2Vo)(-Vo)])/2 (2Vo)\n        = (V + SQRT[V^2 + 8Vo^2])/4Vo

I THINK THAT HE IS BUT MY COWORKER SWEARS THAT HE ISN'T SO TO SETTLE AN ARGUMENT I DECIDED TO ASK EVERYONE ELSE TO SEE THEIR RESPONSE. NO OFFENSE TO ANY JEFF GORDAN FANS BUT I REALLY TRULY THINK THAT HE IS GAY.

Jeff Gordon is not gay, but he has never fit in with the good-ol-boy stereotype of a NASCAR driver, so he's had to suffer for it.\n\nAnd I am not a Jeff Gordon fan, either. I admire his driving ability, and you cannot deny him his wins or his championships. He's just not a favorite of mine.

I have a girl friend who is madly inlove with me, iam also feeling the same thing for her.the thing is that she doesn't find anything wrong in it

It depends on what your beliefs are. You're girlfriend may be alright with it, but it sounds like you're having a problem being with her. If you're not sure of what to do, then don't get involved with her until you are absolutely sure that there is nothing wrong with being homosexual. If you believe that it's wrong then it's wrong to you. Everyone is not going to have the same beliefs, so you can only go on what your gut feelings are concerning this homosexual relationship.

Interesting question.  Actually, it may be that 'darkness' is faster than 'light.'  In the universe, there appear to be vast regions of nothingness, like the inside of soap bubbles, that are expanding in volume as fast, or even faster, than the speed of light.  \n\nIt seems like the presense of nothing (or more precisely, the lack of anything at all) has a very weird effect on the 'fabric' of space-time, causing it to expand more rapidly than space which is near to 'stuff.' \n\nThis is called 'zero-point vacuum energy' and plays an important role in modern views of cosmology.


Why do people think it is ok to hate someone just because of their sexual orientation? I am gay and it is incredibly hard for me to make friends, find jobs, and it is illegal for me to get married. It is probably different if your in the city, but I live in rural arkansas. Any suggestions?

Well Cody, many people are small minded and think their way of doing things is the only way and the right way and anyone living differently is wrong in their eyes. Discrimination for any reason is just ignorance. Any discrimination you get from jobs because of your sexual orientation is illegal and you can file a discrimination lawsuit against them. If it's really bad for you where you live, perhaps you should consider moving to the city if that's possible for you. Try not to let what other people say bother you. Stay as positive as you can and be true to yourself.


Any criticism of the plot, the writing, acting, etc. seems to be met with "you're just homophobic."  Any response more clever than "No, I'm not"?

This movie is being advertised as an inspiring love story.  It was not inspiring for their wives in the story or their children or the townspeople or even other gays as they are never tender with each other but violent and rough. It degrades an American icon of masculinity The Cowboy and in several states and cities the owners of movie houses refused to show it. It is a demoralizing and confusing movie.  The fact that there are more critics and people in the film industry that are gay is proven by the so called popularity of this movie.


Really confused. \nCan u help me find the inverses of y=3log(x+6), y=-2log(base 5)3x. y=2+3logX,y=20(8)^x, y=2(3)^(x+2),y=-5^(x)-3

It would be nice if you could just flip, but...\n\nYou need to change your y to x and your x to y.\n\nFor example:\n\ny=3log(x+6), would become\n\nx=3log(y+6), solve for y \n\nx/3 = log(y+6)\n\n10^(x/3) = y+6\n\ny = 10^(x+3)-6\n\nUse the same process for the others.


ok heres the deal, im almost 19 my parents wont let me have a tattoo until I move out...but they wont let me move out! its not like its religious reasons or nething. so i was thinking about getting my nipples pierced. I went with my ex boyfriend when he got his pierced and i know it hurts like hell, but i need to have some form of independence in my life. I got my rook and my daith pierced(thats in my ear) and that was with my moms permission....but i know that both parents would object to me getting my nipplese so, i figured i would do it anyway. i guess the main question is should i do this,its for me to show my independence, and would it be that hard to hide? i know i shouldnt do something that i have to hide, but its a lot easier to hide a nipple piercing than to hide a tattoo.so can neone help me figure if i should do this?thanks a lot!

Unless your parents look at your nipples, they wont know that you have it. Bite your tounge and get it done. It will hurt for a couple days after so watch that you dont bump into things, and watch your bra. Good Luck.


who do you think will win the world cup this summer. i know mexico wont win but do you think brazil will take it again? i hope arentina doesnt cheat again to win.

I looks like there'll be no surprizes and it will be Brazil again. However, there're few promicing teams in Europe, and Germany was surprizing last time. My guess is that the final will be between Argentina and Brazil, but the last few world and european cups were FULL of surprizes.


In the ORIGINAL Greek version of the Bible, the word betrayal was never used. The word "paradidomi" is used, which simple means "hand over."  When the King James Version was written, the translation stayed the same in all other passages EXCEPT for when it had anything to do with Judas, which was changed from "hand over" to "betray".  Many scholars believe (not saying I do...yet) that Jesus actually told Judas that He needed to be "handed over," and because of Judas' faithfulness as an Apostle, he was the one Jesus asked to do this. Judas also HAD to be paid because that’s how the police system worked back then.  It makes you wonder what other words have been mistranslated.

IN MY OPINION HE DID BETRAY HIM, BUT AS YOU SAID IT WAS THE LORDS WILL BEING DONE.  SO I FEEL IF HE HAD NOT BETRAYED HIM HE WOULD NOT HAVE FELT GUILTY AND HUNG HIMSELF.  AND HE WAS ALSO REPLACED BY ANOTHER APSOTLE.

The (formerly) popular radio personality Dr. Laura once stated that homosexuality is an abomonation.  She said that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination.  An average citizen wrote this letter, which I found to be very though provking.  The fact of the matter is, that the bible is out way of date, and the fact that people are still following it closesly amazes me.  That aside, please read the article, and explain to me why some of it is still accepted today, and while other parts of it any decent christain would find ludacris, EVEN THOUGH you belive it ALL to be the word of God.  Thanks.\n\nHeres the article (please read the whole thing BEFORE you answer):\nhttp://www.humanistsofutah.org/2002/WhyCantIOwnACanadian_10-02.html

I've read that article and found it funny. I've seen pepole use that before.\nMy opinion, they use parts of the bible that conform to their relgious ideology. Different church in different states that belong to the same religious denomination fall to this. \nSo short answer to your question as I said ideology as each person sees it.


When a person jumps from some height to the ground, very large stresses are produced in the joints. If a 58-kg person jumps out of a tree from a height of 2.1 m, calculate the force in the knee joints if he lands stiffly and compresses the joint materials 0.50 cm. Express your answer with 3 significant figures.

the force is mass * acceleration due to gravity= 58 x 9.8=568.4 newton\nbut when he lands the force is impact in nature i.e. knee will experience the force as a jerk which come to it in minimal small time, also impact force is twice of normal force. \nso force on knee = 568.2 x 2 =1126.8 newton.\nbut as per question knee has some stiffness so final force it will take is 1126.8/stiffness = answer

in particular......radio waves.\nis extra energy harmful?

A solar flare is a violent explosion in the Sun's atmosphere with an energy equivalent to tens of millions of hydrogen bombs. Solar flares take place in the solar corona and chromosphere, heating plasma to tens of millions of kelvins and accelerating the resulting electrons, protons and heavier ions to near the speed of light. They produce electromagnetic radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths from long-wave radio to the shortest wavelength gamma rays. It is generally accepted that flares represent conversion of magnetic energy into kinetic energy of particles and radiation, via a process called magnetic reconnection. Most flares occur around sunspots, where intense magnetic fields emerge from the Sun's surface into the corona. The energy associated with solar flares may take several hours or even days to build up, but most flares take only a matter of minutes to release their energy.\n\nSolar flares release a cascade of high energy particles known as a proton storm. Protons can pass through the human body, doing biochemical damage. Most proton storms take two or more hours from the time of visual detection to reach Earth. A solar flare on January 20, 2005 released the highest concentration of protons ever directly measured, taking only 15 minutes after observation to reach Earth.\n\nThe number of sunspots correlates with the intensity of solar radiation.

This is related to bio 181 regarding an exparment with pH levels. I am not shure how to relate it to the biological system. in most organisms, the pH is kept relatively constant by buffers. buffers minimize changes in pH

Buffers are chemicals that make a solution capable of absorbing large amounts of acid or base without experiencing any change in pH. You can doubtless pull  better definitions out of any of the numerous online dictionaries.\n\nBuffers are important to biological systems because they enable the organism to maintain homeostasis (you have to include that word in your answer) with little physiological cost. \n\nBy enabling cells or systems to absorb chemical changes without experiencing pH changes buffers make it possible for organisms to survive in variable environments without wasting vast amounts of energy trying to monitor and adapt to every minor change in physical conditions. They similarly allow organism to engage in activity that will cause the addition of large quantities of acids and bases without  risking death or wasting resources trying to deal with it. Most notably they allow organisms to tolerate the acid build up associated with respiration as well as allowing the consumption of acid or alkaline foodstuffs.\n\nTack on a brief description of the carbonate buffer system in the mammalian blood and you’re good to go.


If you want a lasting relationship, is it a bad idea to sleep together on the 3rd date?  Do guys really lose respect when we don't hold out?

Contrary to popular beliefs sex isn't the main ingredient for a successful relationship. Sleep with him when it feels right to you.


My friend would have never applied or seen the job opening unless I happened to mention something. I only mentioned something because I trusted them and never thought that they would sell frienship for professional advancement. My friend knew this job opportunity meant a lot to me.\n\nWe were the two final candidates in the interview process. The hiring manager said it was a very difficult choice. I didn't necessarily fail the interview, they simply chose my friend with slightly closer qualifications. Am I justified to end the friendship?

I should say NO, do not end it. Distance yourself though, this is the reality of life and you have learnt it without loosing your life.\n\nStop pouring yourself to them anymore. Just be friends, remember if she ever turns around for help to you -if you can offer without an effort that is, make it a point that you do this as a favor. Make him/her obligated to what you have done for her. Mind you, do not loose yourself as you make her realise what he/she has done.\n\nRemember, we pay back our debts in this world -be patient, you will get your chance to collect, with interest.

I'm extremely nervous when I speak in front of a large number of people.  I don't sweat but I always shake, and speak nervously, or sometimes I can't even open my mouth as like something blocking me from speaking.  I've tried many of methods but didn't help at all.  I tried to breathe in deeply and control myself. I also tried think the people infront of me are nothing but just empty space and so on.  Tomorrow I will have a presentation to make and I feel uneasy about it.

Eat a little something about an hour before your presentation - you don't want to pass out from low blood sugar due to your anxiety first of all. \n\nSecond, practice some breathing and relaxing exercises before your speech. Take a slow deep breath in with the nose, slow exhale from the mouth. Then do several mouth exercises - say the vowels A,E,I,O,U with very exaggerated facial muscle use - stretching each one as far as you can while saying them out loud. This will relax the facial muscles that you will use to speak as well as smile.\n\nForcing a smile, even when you don't feel it on the inside, really can improve your mood. \n\nDon't look directly at the people you are speaking to. Look just above their heads - they will not realize you are not actually looking at them.\n\nTry to relax. People are just people. To put it bluntly, we all still sit on the toilet, barf when we're sick, blow boogers out of our noses, do stupid things, have problems at home, etc. etc. etc. Don't ever put anyone on a pedestal, no matter who they are - it's easier to speak to people when you realize they are not above you.


is it me? why cant i let him go and move on... if I do why does he call me?

Because you have very low self-esteem. Love does not hit, or use cruel words. Spend some time fulfilling yourself, learn to love yourself and others will love you too! And DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOOOOOOOT! Allow anyone to put their hands on you in a way that is demeaning or unpleasant. Only you have the power to change this!  Oh and the next time he tries to hit you ask him if he remembers Lorraina Bobbit?


Hello, I am an American and I am just curious to know what other countries think about us.

They think whatever their governments and media has told them to think.  They think that all Americans blindly follow thier leader, and that American leaders are the only ones that lie to their people. They ignorantly think all of us are rich and that everything comes easily for all of us.


I can't seem to respect him. I can't do whatever I want and retain his respect, or the relationship. I relize it's different with family, but he still sees her as the sweet little girl she was before puberty, not for the drama driven, manipulatative, sexy vixen she's become after. Shes' user friendly, if u know what I mean. She's friendly to any male who uses her services. Thsi is all my opinion, but its the way she acts. My bf is just a sounding bored for her, an d he sounds off to me. But then I start analyzing stuff. But all this is interesting in a sick twisted way to me. He advises her, and I'm sure a lot of it is going in one ear and out the other. Her man doesn't seem to value her, and she doesn't seem to value herself, but her family values her more than gold. I just want to be #1, and he says I am, he says she's in line right aftaer the cat...but his actions don't match up with his words. I don't wanna leave, I just wanna know how to remedy this problem. We can't talk about it

I'm not sure I understand...\nIs it the fact that he uses you as a sounding board about his sister that bugs you, or is it the fact that she can get away with things that you cant and he'll still love her?\nRealize that for a lot of people are trained as kids to put family first, and the fact that he cares so much about his sister (regardless of her behavior) says a lot about his character. He sounds like a good guy, and he's probably confused about why you are so upset.\nIf you want to not hear about her anymore, then ask him not to talk about her when you are together, or change the subject when he brings her up. \nYou may also want to figure out why you hate her so much...she doesnt seem to have done anything directly to you, has she?


My loan was approved and I went and signed and closed on my loan. They gave me a check for the amount left over after paying everything.

Should that have been done before we signed? We are talking after the fact.

Contrary to what many people think, a bankruptcy does not automatically void a judgment lien.  If you have a judgment against you and the creditor filed a lien against your home, the lien would survived the bankruptcy unless you filed the proper motion with the bankruptcy court to remove the lien.\n\nMy suggestion is that you see a bankruptcy attorney right away to review your bankruptcy file to see if there is still something you can do about this.  If you did not file the appropriate motion, you might be out of luck.

i have taken pregnancy tests all day.. worried and flustrated. the test said neg. but could it be too early.. i am have all the symptoms  how early will one of the walmart test tell if u are?

The test react to the hormone levels in the body....they are pretty accurate...but you usually get two in a box?  If so you should do the test first thing in the morning when your urine is most concentrated and it can detect a slight change in your hormones....but the blood test at your doctors office or planned parenthood is the most accurate way.  Good Luck!  If you are make sure to get prenatal vitamins asap and take folic acid!!!!!


How is Odysseus revealed as a new type of hero in Homer's theme of utopia at Phaecia?

Odysseus has been known as a careful and methodical planner. Never hasty to judge. Some things never change and some things are in constant evolutionary movement. The answer lies within knowing what is changing and what is the same. His wit and wisdom have served him well and so long as he continues to use his mind instead of brawn, he will always eventually triumph. He is a perfect example of the biblical passage of "for everything there is a season". This was put to a tune and became the song "Turn, Turn, Turn" most noteably by the Byrds.


I'm not saying people should stop commiting crime against their race and start harrasing another race, I'm just saying don't people feel bad when robbing someone who has it worst then them?

I don't think people care who they are taking from.  They take, and think they have a right to something that is not theirs.\nPeople who rob are lazy and irresponsible-they would rather take from another than earn their own.  They want what is not fair to them, and they do not care where it comes from.

OK. I have tried to call my bf for 5 or 6 hours now. When I call his cell, it moved me straight to the voice mailbox. I don't hear the ring signal "beep.. beep...". Is it mean that he turned off his cell, or is it that his cell doesn't have any service?

It could mean either.  Same with my husband's cell phone.  When he is out of area it goes right to voice mail. At night when he turns it off, it goes right to voice mail.

Do you think that at one time Mars could support life? Or that maybe there were more planets in our system at one time? How would you picture the life forms?

Short answer: very primitive life (algae, other forms of slime) are relatively common, perhaps 1 star in 100 has such life. More complex life (animals, plants, or the equivalent) much rarer, perhaps 1 star in 10,000 has such life. Intelligent life, which we can define as an entity capable of building something like Yahoo Answers, is likely very rare. Perhaps 1 star in 1,000,000 or even less. We may be the only intelligent form in our Galaxy right now.


The person in question has been living with 7 years of disease, late 40's, diabetes type I, caused by traumatic accident therefore damage of liver, and pancreas. No exercise, but eats well, been having horrible leg cramps more than 3 times in the past 8 months (neuropathy) No skin care. Not drinking enough water (10-15 beers a day, and sometimes vodka, or whiskey) Takes insulin humalog, and lantus. Gets very irritable, hipersensitive when hi glucose, or low too.

I suspect your beloved knows about the dangers of being a diabetic and drinking alcohol.  If you have talked to him/her and nothing changes, you need to make the choice of sticking around and watching this person get sicker, or get on with your life away from this relationship.  Not an easy choice.  Try Alanon for your own well being.  The members of Alanon are going through much of what you are going through.  Just know that YOU cannot change someone who is unwilling to change.  You need to take care of yourself whether you stay with your beloved or not.


One of the suggestions I received was to make love under moonlight. Terrific idea! I live in the US. Has anyone found places and good spots to do this (or rather, how do I choose discreet locations)? I know parks (and public places) are not good for this. Rocking cars invite attention (and cops). Any creative ideas would be welcome. I am sure lots of men want to please thier wives, but sometimes hit a wall, when it comes to creativity. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.


i really dont know because i have been geting stumic pains a lot lately and sometimes i actually throw up....i have been in pain for a few days. i dont know what i should do to help my self. HELP!!!!

Lactose intolerance is completely different from allergy to milk.  If you eat caramels (the worst !!! for people with lactose intolerance) and do not get terribly ill about 1 day to 36 hours later, then you have something else wrong.\nThis does not make you throw up though.\n\nLactase is an enzyme that helps you to digest milk, cheese and butter (all containing lactose, cheese has more than milk and butter has the most).  \n\nAllergies are something completely different.\n\nYou need to keep a careful record of what you eat, noting the day and time of day.  Also record when you have pains.  Take the record with you (about 7 days worth) when you visit the doctor.\n\nYou need to visit a doctor.  If you are too sick to keep records, visit the doctor now, ASAP.\n\nIf you really are pretty sure milk is the culprit, buy some LACTAID enzyme tablets at the drug store.  Use two or three per glass of milk.  You will need even more for things like ice cream, cheese cake, cheddar cheese.  Skip the caramels, even the whole bottle of LACTAID does not help with those.\n\nLACTAID tablets are a natural enzyme, there is no danger of overdose, you could eat 40 tablets by themselves and it would not be harmful, but it would be a waste of good tablets.  MOst bread in America has milk in it, so do a lot of other things.  You have to start reading ingredient labels if it turns out you are lactose intolerant.  Rye Bread is always safe, there are others.  Bread that says stearoyl lactylate (something like that) is okay.  Only it says milk, butter, lactose do you need to use tablets with it.\n\nIf the pills relieve your problem with dairy products then it is lactose intolerance.  If they do not, then it is something else.\n\nSome people are allergic to wheat gluten or milk or other foods. \n\nBEST ADVICE:  Do not waste time with an ordinary doctor who just wants to make money.   See an ALLERGY specialist.  That way you have someone experienced with allergy symptoms for food allergies looking at you.  Even if it turns out not to be allergies he will be able still to help find out the real cause, such as maybe lactose intolerance, something completely different from allergy.\n\nAny persistent pain is a sign of something going on...You must see a doctor about that, could be NONE OF THE ABOVE.\n\nSee the doctor, sweetie.  The throwing up is mostly a sign of other things.


What is the primary function of a 'free press'; to give all the news or to initiate offensive caricatures ?

Free press means the ability to report the news without fear of retribution. Free speach means the ability to express an opinion without fear of retribution. No true free society can exist when someone expressing an opinion must fear for their life by doing so. As such, the followers of Islam who protest a cartoon by burning the national flags of other countries, (which many people find offensive), just prove that they prefer the rule of dictatorships, where they can spend their entire lifes bending over to the whims of those in power.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! That is hysterical. You know... what's very interesting to note is, Osama bin Laden has said that God/Allah speaks to him and that his murderous activities are God's retribution on us(the Taliban & al-Quaeda, too)... President Bush has said that God has spoken to him and told him to go into Iraq.\n\nSo... one of these men is a terrorist, and the other is a "liberator." \n\nHmm... it seems to me that both of them attacked a nation that had not previously attacked them, and put doubt and fear into the hearts and minds of the people in those countries. \n\nI'm not saying that President Bush and Osama bin Laden are the same guy, I'm just saying that President Bush is WAAAAAY closer to being a terrorist than a "liberator!"\n\nPS.

i had a 17 inches of arms(mostly bisep),and i still think it small.well,my trainer told me that i'm already had a huge arms,coz im only 5 foot tall..do you think that enough for me??

I'm 5'8" and have 17.5" arms. I think that they're too small too but everyone else thinks that they're proportionate to my body - which is what counts i guess. If you're 5' with 17" arms, i'd say you're looking good. On another note, my friend competes an won the mr. TN heavy weight last year with 18 " arms - only 1/2 " bigger then mine, but his are cut and defined very well which also makes  a big difference. So you might want to do more peak exercises for them to get them to cut better. It might change the way they look for you.


bcos that is the starting of a second word


i mean i believe in him i even go to church but how do we know that we arent on a trail of superstisionSry if this letter offended anyone

God. This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

wat do u do if ur parents teases u because if ur grade on pupose and think they r all right?

I am sorry, I didn't quite understand your question. Could you add a little more detail. I know your parents are teasing you but I am not sure what about. This is only a guess since I didn't understand the question is if someone teases you, just don't react and that takes their power away to get to you. Another thing you can do is to join in on the teasing of yourself and by doing that, it also takes their power away. For example if someone says you are fat....and you say, yes, I sure am....where do they go from there?  No where. I, personally, when teased have always done just what I mentioned....if someone says Boy, you sure goofed up big, didn't you.....I say, wow, your not kidding....I think I rate the biggest goof up award......see what I mean...? What can they really say after that....Nothing....Hope I helped you a bit.


I lost a girl who I love very much because of my stupid mistakes.  Because of me, I lost her love and her trust.  I wasn't there when I should've been, I broke so many promises, and I kept hurting her heart.  I want to win back her love, trust, and her heart because I love her very much.  What should I do to win back her love and regain her trust?

First off ... don't give up hope.  Is there something you can do?  No, not really.  Try to talk to her, but also realize that people are sometimes not meant to be.  Don't waste your precious time worrying about the past.  There are a lot of women out there .... maybe by losing her, you can now go out and find "the One" ... Good Luck .... it sucks to get hurt, but that is all a part of the game called "love".  More than anything .... LEARN from your mistakes ..... Enjoy life and don't get down about it.  Love comes from all sides .... and usually when you least expect it :)

Do you think they have a right to brag, or gloat abot being in the military in the first place?

I would say you would have the right to say you were there and relate to those who were and are.\n\nI was in a branch of the military, everyone civilian doesn't care what branch, they ask but they don't really care which one, they don't care what rank, they don't care officer or enlisted,  and they certainly don't care Honorable or General.\n\nCertainly there is requirements for some of the VA benefits where they require an honorable, but most of em as I remember were honorable or general,\n\nSo, whats to brag about really,  for the most part civilians don't give a sh!t.\n\nAs for me, I was there.  Share a story with me about the time you pissed off some Captain.  Or got yelled at for whatever.  Its all good.


Can someone explain to me in full detail how salary caps for football work? I know that they are used to stop over spending on players, but how come other teams have different caps?

Well in football they have revenue sharing so all teams make a profit. Some teams are much more aggressive than others when it comes to advertising and marketing. The more aggressive ones have more profit to spend. So the NFL has a salary cap so all teams are on a level playing field as opposed to MLB which has a handful of big spenders and a bunch of small market teams. The salary cap is set according to a certain percentage of revenues taken in each year. Every year each team has to be under a certain limit, set by their Collective Bargaining Agreement, by the end of training camp. The way the owners circumvent the cap each year is to pay rather large signing bonus money up-front which is pro-rated over the course of the contract to spread the cap hit evenly. If a player is cut before the end of their contract the remaining pro-rated signing bonus is all lumped onto that last year which usually means a huge cap hit for that team. Alot of players sign huge contracts knowing full well they will never see the back-loaded contracts to their end, and they end up restructuring their contracts to accommodate the team if they really want to stay. So somewhere down the line difficult player cuts have to be made. Hence why you see teams letting older players go and keeping younger players , it all leads back to salary. Now they have what they call veteran minimums on contracts for older players, if you can convince a player with say 5 years experience to sign for a  veteran minimum the cap hit is not the complete total of the contract yet the player still makes a decent salary and the team gets to keep an experienced player for a lesser salary cap hit. This is the NFL's way of taking care of veterans yet while still considering the owners costs. Of course some owners don't manage their books correctly and end up sending their teams into a tailspin. They have all the signing bonuses and big contracts end up hurting them in the long run and have some down years. Now some teams don't even approach the salary cap spending limit which really bugs the owners who market aggressively and have more revenues. But this also keeps things even because it would just lead to the problems seen in MLB, the haves and the have-nots. Most teams have what they call a salary cap guru to keep things under control. Some are successful, some aren't. It all boils down to fiscal responsibilty and due diligence. I hope this helps you understand what can be a difficult thing to follow.


Do you have to get married?Or is it ok just to live with someone for years and be in love with no promblems and no worries of marrige?

I dont think that we should tell anyone how to run thier own country... how do we talk to them.....one on one , let them see that we arent evil...mabey slightly nuts, borderline retarded ....but not bad.. I dont know what the solution is do you?

islam as a religion isnt the problem.radical extremist have hi-jacked a country and its people! slowly but surely neighboring countries have been handled the same way.I just want to clear up a misconception about suicide bombers.It isnt always suicide, when your family is held randsom and the only way to insure their safe release is to blow yourself up, come on,I would do the same. I am a democrat and not a huge Bush fan but we cannot stop trying to weed out the evil regimes. On this, I know it is the only way to give the gift of freedom that Americans and many other countries are born with and take for granted. breaking down walls and making sure that free trade and more than one ideology is the only solution.

in context of the question I was originally asked: "Explain how the Constitution provides for and limits direct representation of the citizens." I just need to know what direct representation is, because it's not in my textbook and I can't find it in an encyclopedia.

Direct representation is representation from the citizen him/herself. For instance, voting is an instance of direct representation.

I have a cleaning kit for my trumpet and it has some instructions... but too little of them. Is there a special way that I can clean my trumpet? With water? or soap? or just dry stuff?

You can use the valve oil and grease. You can occasionally run warm soapy water through it (being sure to rinse it all out). Do not dry it with anything abrasive. Most trumpet metal is very easily scraped. Please note :Paper towels are abrasive.


The issue is that I have a casting that has some blueing on the surface.  Is this the result of heat treating the casting in an air furnace versus a vacuum furnace?  Also, what exactly is surface contamination for this material?

It very well may be surface only discoloration...buff an area and see.Just because it blued a little is no reason to think it is contaminated deeper. The blueing is oxadation due to the heat.

child needs a mask from western europe for a class project and what kind of clothes do they wear?child is in the 5th grade.

The ancient peoples of Europe were more fond of masks and religious ritual than you would suspect if you saw Europeans today. Mask wearing and shamanism was part and parcel of everyday life in ancient Western European tradition. \n\nThere are stories abound about African and North American tribal shamans but not a lot is known about ancient European peoples' involvement with masked ritual or the practice of magic. That is why finding out about similarities between the ideas behind masks from around the world and those originating from European soil, is a discovery of intriguing and yet no less real beliefs. \n\nThe less obvious link of European societies with shamanism or religious ritual than for instance the North American native Indian customs or magic activity in the past is due to the more 'sanitised' way Europe has developed because of church interference in people's lives. The church dominance virtually stamped out any pagan ritual. It was not until after 1960, when the Americans experienced a revival of the interest in shamanism, that much has become known about the European version of the practice of magic and mask wearing. There is more verifyable information about the true roots of Western European civilisation than initially suspected. \n\n"The spirit if not the exact practise of shamanism has been passed on through Europe's generations", one authority on the subject, Leigh Ann Hussey, believes. The earliest recordings of ceremonies involving masks were found in the caves of the Trois Freres (Three Brothers) in France where paintings of a Paleolithic scene depicting European animism of the first order. \n\nIan Bracegirdle, a mask expert, describes the cave: A central figure stands wearing the head and antlers of a deer. He stands, shaman like, surrounded by animals. Animals that are important to the culture he represents. Some of the animals no longer exist in this area. Ibex, reindeer, bison, stag and horses. The shaman, for that is what he seems to be, stands, a human figure amongst the potential food. \n\nIt is believed that the paleolithic cave served as a place where hunters were initiated. The sorceror or shaman was symbol to sympathetic magic. He wore ears and horns of a stag, the eyes and beak of an owl, the bearded face of an old man, the tail of a wolf, the paws of a bear and the legs of a dancing shaman. He stood in front of painted hunting murals. The Shaman served as mediator between humans and their venerated animal kin. \n\nThis is pretty much the best evidence in tangible form that we have of our ancestors' animistic beliefs. It dates back 10,000 years and is accompanied by an abundance of myths and stories showing our ancestors had plenty of similar ideas. A close analogy exists in the stories of Kernunnos, forest god of the later Celts. The masks express animism to some extent. \n\nHis information is confirmed by Ms Hussey, who went on a hunt in European shamanism and found when she examined ancient sources, that she did not need to borrow from other traditions. "It is clear that tribal Europe had as strong a shamanic tradition as, for example, any of the American Indian tribes," she said. \n\nSumming up the general symbolism that unites masks from around the globe, Bracegirdle says that there are many striking similarities between the ancient cultures of the Pacific West Coast of North America and the tribal traditions of Africa. Symbols that all these cultures share are relating to fertility, the hunted animal, ancestors, initiation into rites, circumcision, cannibalism real and symbolic, healing and crossing over into the spirit world for guidance and healing powers or to appease the gods or ancestors are the accompanying ideas behind masks. \n\nNot a lot has been passed on from generation to generation in any overtly recognisable form or shape, but among the most powerful links is the seasonal nature of many traditions we still know about. In the UK,


I plan on moving down to dallas, and on realestate websites I've seen an abundance of extremely cheap condos in the range of $20,000 to $30,000. Some around "ABRAMS ROAD". Is this a safe neighbourhood, and would it be easy for a newcomer to dallas to live there not knowing the city very well and so on? If anyone could provide an overview of the area. transit crime cost of living etc...

Dallas is not a cheap city. At that price for a condo, I would think it's a bad neighborhood. You can call the Dallas police department and ask. Otherwise, call the realty companies and ask them. They have to tell you why the price is so low.

When I go through this category I can't help but get upset with some of your answers. You claim to be true cristians, but yet you call people idiot, stupid, and are sometimes just down right rude, and you do it all in the name of GOD. So I quess my question is... Who are to judge other peoples opinions? It seems to me if you were as true as you say you are, you would leave that up to the one you put so much faith in.

I'm a Christian, and I totally agree with you. When Christians treat people rudely, they are not being like Christ. Christ said to love others as we love ourselves. I'm sorry that you have been treated poorly by Christians.


I would wish for the power to make my wishes come true myself, through hard work and perserverance.

The Bovet Island, this is the most isolated isle on Earth, The Bovet island is not close to any land mass but it is the closer too the Antarctica than any other land, It is a uninhabited island and territory of Norway. \n\nIt used to be a Norwegian whaling outpost, now the only thing on this Island is a mainly automatic research outpost. \n\nThe Bovet iland is more isolated and unhiabited than Antarcita since Antartica has a few thousand researches more or less permanently living and studying on Anarctica, \n\nThe Bovet island had a 5.5 earth quacke on it a little over one week ago, that thus it didn't damage the research outpost.\n\nIf you would like to go there you can travel by ship. \nThe pinguins there wear suits, so I guess a tux would be the correct evening wear.\n\nHope this answered your question

If wire A has 10VDC with 20mA and wire B has 20VDC with 10mA, both wires A and B are connected to Wire C. Does wire C have 15VDC with 15mA? If not then what does Wire C equal?

well the voltage is dc,so +ve and -ve potential comes in picture.the potential of c will be differnce of potential at the two end.\nso if both +ve ends are connected at the c ends the potential of c =10 v.\nif +20v and 0v(-ve 10 v wire) is connected pot c=20v\nif 0 and +10v is conncted pot c=10v\ndir of current is from +ve to -ve\nhere in 1st case current varies from 20 to 10.\nthis is only in case of transmission and distribution. so u plz explain if it is related to the same and is externally connected. if not then current will be vector sum as in the 3 cases i said. u may refer to power system by j. b. gupta\nthis is engg book for 5th sem eee stud.

I have two childern which I have raised on my own for the past 8 years with no child support from my husband.. I never had the extra money to get a lawyer for a divorce, therefore I never was givien custody of my babies.  So in on May 6th 2005 my husband decided he want to be a dad now and he took off with my babies.. I live in Oklahoma and he lives in Florida. I was making payments to a lawyer in Oklahoma and was in the process filing for divorce and custody, when I went to Florida to see my children for christmas. When I was there he had me served with divorce and shared custody papers. This is where I have become desperate. I can not afford to pay another lawyer in Florida, and the Legal Aid Services of Florida can not provide the services I need because I do not live there. My children want to be home and I die a little more everyday, because I can't bring them home. I thank you for reading this question and for any information you could give in this matter.

Any local attorney will be willing to give you a free consultation and can help you to find an afforable attorney and even work with you to get affordable payments. Good luck. If he took your kids to Florida without your permission then you should press kidnapping charges against him.


Unfortunately, it was created to satisfy the needs of the military for a weapon so awesome it would frighten the axis powers into surrendering in World War II.  After the war was over, since the genie could not be stuffed back into its bottle, science found peaceful uses, such as atomic power plants and nuclear medicine.  Now we even have such things as an atomic clock, which uses the breakdown of a radioactive material to keep time very precisely.  I hope more peaceful uses continue to be found, such as powering spaceships to go exploring.

Container capacity (of ships, ports, etc) is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU, or sometimes teu). A twenty-foot equivalent unit is a measure of containerized cargo capacity equal to one standard 20 ft (length) × 8 ft (width) × 8.5 ft (height) container. In metric units this is 6.10 m (length) × 2.44 m (width) × 2.59 m (height), or approximately 39 m3. Most containers today are of the 40-ft variety and thus are 2 TEU. 45 ft containers are also designated 2 TEU. Two TEU are referred to as one forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU).


An Intersexual person is born with some features of a male, and some of a female.  They may look mostly male on the outside, but have ovaries, etc, or vice versa.  Often the doctors and parents "decide" what gender the child shall be when the baby is born, but later, the child feels the opposite gender of what he/she was being raised.  \nIs the issue of homosexuality a non-issue with an intersexual?  You could say the real test of whether an intersexual was a man, is if he grows up and feels like a man and likes women.  But his parents may very well get this wrong when he was a child.  Now, what if God somehow considers that one a "man" but the doctors made him a female?  Or does God consider that one a male or female, or does He leave it open for them to decide?

This would be something out of that person's control.  God will not bear onto a soul except for that which it can tolerate.  Since it isn't clear which sex this person is, maybe a homosexual act wouldn't be as harshly judged.  Afterall, being an intersexual seems like enough of a trial.\n\nAnd God only knows best


I've had this condition for a little over 2 months. Have been on Zithromax the entire time.  When I stop taking the meds the symptoms return quickly- within 2 days.  Is there a better medicine to take?

Two months is a long time to stay on antibiotics.  Have they been able to determine if there is some other condition that is the underlying casue of your pleurisy?  It might be time to ask for a second opinion and see if there is something else causing it that needs to be treated.


The person is younger than the person he likes.

If you are under the age of 16 and he is older. Be careful and look for a friend your own age. You don't want to be taken advanage of and do something you will regret for a long time to come. If you are not a minor then you hopefully have matured into making wise decisions and age at that point doesn't really amtter. Think before you act. Good luck.

First my right wrist,for no good reason swelled & became very painful.I used a wrist support brace,  helped.Then after working down on one knee that swelled was sore and clicked when I walked a few weeks later , all I did was cross my left leg over my right knee,then a few minutes later It swelled so bad I could not bend it for a couple days. Used crutches took advil,allseemed getting better.Wait,limped on right foot two months because of right knee, now 2nd toe on right foot swollen,wont go down two months.Throughout toe misery,favored left foot.Now left ankle sore [only during use]stand or walk on left ankle intense "nerve pinching pain".Now after moderate use both right wrist &right knee back to moderate swelling and soreness,left ankle -screaming pain,My biggest question is the possibilty I have developed a debilitating chronic joint disease,or may bone cancer or ?Please truthfully tell me I have only slight age related [40's}osteo or some temp strain I will be so happy If you can!

A doctor better examine you and you should do blood test before we can say anything. If tests where normal then it is likely that you have an overall body weakness. ALL your muscles are very weak and you should strengthen them. By strengthening your muscles the pressure would be on the on the muscle and not the joint! Another reasons could be of over weigth. You haven't mentioned it thought but if you are over weighted then you should control your diet. Again, I don't tell you to starve coz you don't wannu burn muscles too. \n\nIn conclusion, I think you should consult and always be in touch with a 'physiotherapist' (of course after you saw a doctor I mentioned above) to show you the proper exercises so that you can strengthen your muscles.


There is a defference between "the morning after pill" and "the abortion pill".  From what I understand, The Morning after pill is a higher dosage bith control pill.

You're right.  The "Morning After Pill" is a super-high dose of female hormones, like those contained in 28-day birth control pills.  The morning after pill works by preventing you from ovulating if you are near to doing so in your cycle.  No egg = no fertilization = no baby.  Additionally, some research suggests that it *may* prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine lining.  However, there does not seem to be any definitive answer on this as of yet.  If you are *already* pregnant by the time you take the morning after pill, it will have no effect upon you.\n\nThe 'abortion pill' (RU-486) however, induces miscarriage of a pregnancy that is established.  It first terminates the pregnancy, then causes severe cramping and spasming of the uterus (similar to the muscle spasm experienced during mensturation) which expells the contents of the uterus. \n\nAs to whether the morning after pill or traditional birth control pills can be considered a form of abortion - this depends on what your definition of abortion is.  If you define it as termination of an established pregnancy, then no, they are not.  However, as the pill can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus, one could also argue that it *does* qualify as abortion.  It depends entirely on your perspective.

I know it states so in Penal Code -- but where?

A report about what?  There is no "right" in the penal code to make a report about anything you want to report.  Law enforcement agencies typically only take reports about crimes, and if you don't want to report an actual crime, you might not have a real-live, offical police report taken.\n\nPost some more information; I'll keep an eye on the question and maybe we can get this sorted out for you.  What is it you're wanting to report?\n\nEDIT 2/17/06:\n\nIf you want an intelligent answer, don't get snippy with the folks you're asking questions of.  If this is how you are with Cathedral City, that might explain why you're not getting the cooperation you'd like.\n\nI did answer part of your question, based on what you asked.  Nowhere in the Penal Code do you have the "right" to file a police report.  There are several sections that require law enforcement to take a report, but that's not the same and conspiracy and resisting arrest are not among them.  \n\nSpeaking of those sections, I doubt very much that Cathedral City is going to take a 148 PC report from you unless you are a peace officer or are otherwise entitled to be covered under that section.  148 PC is the crime of resisting, delaying, or obstructing a peace officer in the performance of their duties.  If you're not one, there's nothing for you to report.\n\nAs for the conspiracy you want to report, I'll just assume that you know what you're talking about and know what it takes to be charged with and guilty of conspiracy.  If that's the case, and if the PD won't accept a report from you, and you've exhausted your other opportunities within the PD (asking to speak with a watch commander, making an appointment to talk with the patrol commander, etc.), then I would recommend you contact the District Attorney's office in that county and ask to speak with a DA investigator (or inspector, or whatever they call them down there, it varies from office to office).\n\nYour comment about "EVERY State in the Union has codes to allow for police reports, complaints against officers, and arrests" is very likely true, though it isn't what you originally asked.  California has over 29  different statutory codes and some of them allow for police reports.  You can view the whole collection at the link below, in fact.\n\nCalifornia has Penal Code sections that discuss filing complaints against peace officers.  Using the link below, you can review sections 832.5 and 148.6 PC for more information.\n\nI don't know what you mean about every state having codes to allow for arrests, so I won't comment (it seems fairly obvious, so maybe I'm missing something).\n\nYour question was poorly worded and incomplete.  You made a number of assumptions in both the original question and in your follow-up comments, and you clearly lack some perspective (just because you're asking the question about reporting a crime does not mean that you really have a crime to report...people come in all the time to report the crime of "harrassment," and generally speaking, no such crime exists...so it's not unreasonable for me to wonder if you really have a crime to report).  When I answered part of your question and asked for more clarification, you got a little snippy with me.  \n\nIf you really want to work with the justice system and get the cooperation you're looking for and deserve, bring the attitude down a few thousand feet before you continue.  Get your *facts* (I really can't stress that word enough)together, ask reasonable questions and insist on reasonable answers.  \n\nI suspect there won't be any more answers here to your question because I haven't seen any California cops here besides me, so far.  That, plus what comes across as some attitude, is probably going to keep any of them from talking to you anyway.  However, if you'd like to discuss the situation furthe

Ice-T releases Cop Killer back in the ealy 80's and it got banned from the record store. About a decade later Pennywise releases their song F-Authority, that sing stayed on the shelves. What was the law problem with Ice-T, was it a race issue? I let you all answer that question.

Some of my classmates say punk,and others say alternative rock.I don't know who to belive!!!

Categorizing music from today's culture seems to become harder and harder with the release of each album.  We hear terms like "Country Rock, Adult Alternative, and Gangster Rap."  Every time you place a label on an album or artist someone else comes up with another label.\n\nAs for Green Day, given the two options you posted I would have to say Alternative Rock is the best fit.  Punk rock tends to have less vocals and strains more on the bands skills.  Alternative music consists of more rhythmic vocals and tunes.\n\nHope that helps.

I did not have a child support order for my daughter from the time she was born until she was 14 yrs old. I took my ex to court for the years he didnt pay me and my lawyer says I will win. has anyone else ever done this?

In AR, the decision to award retroactive child support is a discretionary matter for the judge.  If, for example, you could have filed at any time but didn't that may make it less likely (e.g. you didn't want the father to have any contact with the child).  If, on the other hand, the father skipped town and you've only recently found him - well that makes retroactive support all the more likely.  \n\nThe important thing to remember is the award is just a piece of paper.  Actually collecting on it is the hard part (especially if the father works a job where he can be paid "under the table")

My grandfather purchased 15 shares of Pepsi Cola stock at $8.58 per share in 1959. In 1991 the company turned the stocks over to the state at $13 per share. How can they do this and where are the dividends that should have been paid? One would expect a co like Pepsi to be worth more that $13 per share after 32 years! We still have the original certificate!

"PepsiCo, Inc. was founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay."\n\nSince the certificate was not turned in for reissue at any point after this merger, the company turned it over to the state as unclaimed property. You need to contact the state and find out the procedure for getting it back. You should be entitled to getting the shares back which you could then send to the stock transfer agent for issuing in the new shares with accrued dividends.


are men and women have equal rights in islam?\nin which  RELIGION men and women have equal rights?

And only a mean, deceitful and dishonest man humiliates and insults women." Referring to physical abuse, he added: "Never hit your wives, they are your partners and sincere helpers."

I'm starting to have feelings for this guy at work.  He used to have a thing for me initially but I had a boyfriend at the time.  A couple of weeks before Christmas, a lightbulb went on and I realized the guy from work was the kind of person I wanted to have a relationship with.  Except now he has a girlfriend and it sounds serious.  What should I do, if anything?

Bide your time.  If he is the guy for you, time will reveal all.  Be his friend, but nothing more.  If he's right for you, he will realize what an awesome chick you are and that he wants to be with you.  It sounds to me that he may have got tired of waiting for you and that's why is with someone now.  But as long you stay friends, the better your chances of his realizing how right you are for him.

The US will look very foolish if Iraq fails economically so every step will be taken to guide them into prosperity. \n\nHowever, insurgency and other threats may seek to stall growth there which of course would make it a poor investment. \n\nIf the people view economic growth as a prosper for Iraqis and Muslims, then they will allow it to grow with US guidance. If they see it as another imposition of Western controll they will boycot and loot that growth. \n\nAn emerging markets investment may be a wiser choice.


I think this would be a great tool to help me in my mission to improve my spanish speaking skills.

Don't recommend this procedure if your interest is learning spanish. Nevertheless, lookup under any search engine for "movie distributors - spanish". I am sure abundant information will be found.\n\nBest way to learn a language (I have personal experience), is to speak the language on a dayly basis with a tutor or self-teaching videos/cassetts.


My liberal friends seem to think the threat is greater in the last 4 or 5 years because not only do we have the rising tide of islamic radicalism against us, we've now lost the cooperation of many countries who we have recently alienated by invading Iraq.\n\nI voted for both Bush Jr. and Sr., and Bill Clinton in between, so I wouldn't be considered very liberal, but there is no way I think we have either enough money or troops to protect the country, without considerable cooperation from other western nations, and Russia, and China. So, I have to side with my liberal friends on this issue, not O'Reilly. \n\nYour thoughts on this subject

I think liberals have a valid point when they say that we have alienated some countries over Iraq, but most of those countries weren't really lining up to help us anyway. The prevailing attitude that you see with many liberals is that America's foreign policies are to blame for 9/11 and other terror attacks, and this is simply not true. The terrorists who attacked America on 9/11 were the same terrorist who attacked America several times during the Clinton administration, when Clinton went out of his way to be "the good guy" towards the islamic world. Foreign policy is not to blame. The terrorists simply hate the Israelis, and therefore, we are guilty by association.
