I am trying to look for any website or research that can say that heavy metal music have no effect on teenagers' negative behavior. Or maybe some evidence that say that is not the music itself the main reason for which teenagers' become violent but because of other reasons.

Ask your local university library for this article:\n"Violent Music Lyrics Do Not Usually Cause Lasting Harm" by James K. Fitzpatrick. Media Violence. William Dudley, Ed. Opposing Viewpoints® Series. Greenhaven Press, 1999. Reprinted from James K. Fitzpatrick, "Can Teenagers Survive Marilyn Manson?" New Oxford Review, November 1997, by permission of New Oxford Review (1069 Kains Ave., Berkeley, CA 94706). Copyright © 1997 New Oxford Review.\n\nand this one:\n"Studies Have Not Established a Link Between Rap Music and Youth Violence" by Becky L. Tatum. Media Violence. Louise I. Gerdes, Ed. Opposing Viewpoints® Series. Greenhaven Press, 2004. Becky L. Tatum, "The Link Between Rap Music and Youth Crime and Violence: A Review of the Literature and Issues for Future Research," Justice Professional, vol. 11, February 1999, p. 339. \n\nI got these references from a subscription database that a university library should have called Opposing Viewpoints.\n\nThis will be a hard argument to make as most valid research shows that there is a correlation between heavy metal and rap music and lower grades, discipline problems, drug use, teen sex, suicide, etc...  I suppose you could argue that the types of people who would display negative behavior would do so regardless of what music they listen to.  They listen to heavy metal because it mimics their feelings they already had.  So, listening to HM could be a consequence, not a cause.  Good luck!


In my opinion, it's Percy Sledge, when a man loves a woman.

Definitely between "Who Would've Thought" and "Corazon de Oro" by Rancid

They do without.\n\nLearn to deal with disapointment. It will happen from time to time. Learn from it, do your best (and hopefully better next time), but don't become a whiner. That'll get you nowhere.

How many people use a fake name?  how often do you use it?\nI use one, when I make hair cut appointments, dinner reservations, etc...\nhow about you?

My last name is so common that I don't need to assume another name.


I think it's something to do with Quadratic Sequences

As the terms you give are clearly an arithmetic progression, with the difference between successive terms incrementing by 2 each time\n\n7 - 4 = 3\n12 - 7 = 5\n19 - 12 = 7\n28 - 19 = 9\n\nIt is clear that the next few terms are 39, 52, 67, 84, 103, 124 etc.\n\nI recognise this as rather similar to 36, 64, 81, 100, 121 because I am familiar with the squares of the positive integers having the property of being in Arithmetic Progression, with the difference incrementing by 2 (adding a constant, c, won't alter that property), so I can see where this is heading, but let's work the simultaneous equations through to prove what my observation and intuition is telling me ...\n\nThere are values of a b c to be found for which, with n increasing by 1 each time\n\na + b + c = 4 (1)\n4a + 2b + c = 7 (2)\n9a + 3b + c =12 (3)\n\nsubtracting (1) from (2)\n\n3a + b = 3 (4)\n\nsubtracting (2) from (3)\n\n5a + b = 5 (5)\n\nSubtracting (4) from (5)\n\n2a = 2\na = 1\n\nThen, substituting in (4),  b = 0 and substituting in (1) c = 3\n\nAnd it can be seen that this is indeed a sequence of the squares of the positive integers, with 3 added to them, each time.\n\nT(n) = n^2 + 3


American 14-Grand-Slam Winner (winner of many achievements) Pete Sampras was scheduled to play American Robby Ginepri in Houston on Clay today, April 5, 2006, at 7:15 P.M. Central United States Time (-6 GMT). Now it is 9:39 P.M. (same timezone), but I still have heard naught of the match. Is the match in progress? Is it completed?\n\nThe match was supposed to be broadcasted online on http://www.usta.com\n\nHowever, on that site, it just has a news article that Sampras WILL be playing Ginepri, not a link to the broadcast or results or anything.\n\nDoes anybody have any information?\n\nI am extremely curious about this match.

Ginepri is playing well and Sampras has not played a match in a long time. However don't ever underestimate the abilities of Sampras. I mean he has won 14 grand slams. Come on. It could be a good match if Sampras is in shape, otherwise Ginepri is able to win.


This girl always answers eye contact with a smile. That mean she likes me? She twirls her hair when I am around. Somtimes I catch her looking at me for a few seconds and then, she would look away.

Maybe she likes you.or she is just flirting with you


If i were to get a 'family' cow, how many acres would i need to produce enough food for that cow for the entire year? without having to buy extra grain/hay?

A good general rule of thumb is 1 full grown cow per acre.  If you're feeding the cow daily or have hay for the cow to eat whenever it wants to you could drop that to somewhere between half and 3/4ths of an acre per cow.

what should i do? how do i get him to notice that i want a dateing realationship and not a friendship? i think the odds of finding another guy like this are slim to none.

wow i'm in a very similar situation right now and its tough.  if you are having a conversation with him, try to touch his arm as your making a point.  it also wouldnt be a bad idea to simply say "you're really cute".  its better to let them know that you like them than to never try at all.  good luck, e-mail me if you have any more questions


I had a temporary filling on my tooth and it came off. im 9 weeks pregnant and i need a root canal but cant have one till im 12 weeks or further along. the root is exposed ive taken vicadin and anbesol on the tooth along with tylenol to help any  swelling i cant get into the dentist tomorrow. is there anything that anyone knows about to get this pain to go away please help if you can... thank you

For me: Plax. You use it before you brush, and it works everytime. I rinse my mouth with it for a minute every little while, and eventually it removes the irritant and cleans the space that is infected. If I get a toothache, it usually stops within an hour or so at most. If I use it regularly, I don't get a toothache. I don't need pain killers it goes so fast. Plax is easy on soft tissue, too. Really.


Even though they're irrelevant to the question they cut and paste huge amounts of bible nonsense.\n\nDoes this prove they are just brainwashed sheep incapable of formulating an answer of their own?\n\nWhat's the chances of one of them cutting and pasting something irrelevant here, and proving my point that they have lost the power to think for themselves?

Because people really are sheep.  And for anyone who has not lived in a rural area before let me explain something - That ain't good!

So that other people cannot access my wireless connection.

Ask your wireless router provider how you could do that (Belkin, Linksys, Hawkingtech, and other brands).\n\nAlso you can access it's main local IP Address to access the configuration panel\n\nlike if your local was like 192.168.40.243 then the Main Config IP would be 192.168.40.1. With encryption you don't have to use 1 computer with wireless to use encryption. All you have to do is write down the WEP, or WAP key so that the other computers can use encryption.\n\nAlso you could check your routers manual.


In a circuit, I've generated the outputs on 4 LEDS to represent hexadecimal numbers 0 to F in binary (0000, 0001, 0010, etc.).\n\nHow should I connect them to display the result using the 7-segment display instead of LEDs? Say, output is 0100 and the 7-seg display will show 4.

I would suggest, if you can still find some, seven segment hexadecimal driver IC's.  They will convert discrete logic bits into the necessary outputs for a seven segment display.\n\nThe chip has unfortunately been discontinued and are a little fun to find now.  You can build up a substitute using logic gates or a FPGA (if you have access to those and the related equipment).\n\nThis site might be helpful...


ok i got an external hard drive and i put all kinds of videos, music and other stuff on it but the other day i was trying to burn a DVD but discovered that my external hard drive was broken(i could not see any files on the drive).  so i unpluged it and restarted it and it worked fine in that i could play all the files on the hard drive but when i tryed to transfer the files that i had wanted to burn to the hard drive on my computer i got an I/O error.\n\nIs it possible to fix an I/O error?\nand\nWhy can i play the files perfectly but not transfer them to another hard disk?

Run chkdsk by right clicking on the drive letter and going to "Properties" and click on "Tools", then "Check now", check "Automatically fix errors" and click "Start". That should find any errors and fix them, also check to see if the drive is mounted by going to the "Start" button and clicking on "Run" and typing "compmgmt.msc" without the quotation marks in to the run box, click on "Disk Management" and check to see if the drive shows up in there.

I want to know if the Pentium LGA775 is still considered fast or if it is obsolete.

You got it wrong. LGA775 is not a processor, it's a socket type. This is the latest socket type so far for Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPUs (as well as for Celerons) and it's the successor of the 478 socket.\n\nThe latest socket LGA775 CPUs are: the Pentium 4 (6x1 series), the Pentium D (8xx series) and the Pentium D (9xx series) with clock rates in the range of 2.67GHz to 3.8GHz.\n\nThese 3 series of CPUs are currently state of the art for desktop PCs. For notebooks they doesn't fit and therefore Intel has 2 series especially for them, the Pentium M (7x0 series) and the Core Duo (T2x00 series) with clock rates in the range of 1.66GHz to 2.26GHz.\n\nSocket 478 desktop CPUs\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010340343+1051707443+1050706985&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=343\nSocket 775 desktop CPUs (Core names: Prescott = 90nm, single core.

Bono thinks he's now the son of god and as his hat flown over when doing a charity gig at huge expense, he jumps on every charity band-wagon and claims to be wholesome but in fact is a big rich liar, the edge thinks he's a real guitar god when in fact he's just better than average, perhaps an Irish Chris Rea at best, and the other two are simply nobody's and there simply isn't an ounce of originality and they should have retired 25 years ago..... why oh why do you keep buying their crappy middle of the road anthem for nobodies pap records? I mean, their last album had them pretending they were rocking with the kids when in fact they looked like someone's dad miming at a local pub, you all been brainwashed by their cheeky chappy Irish Charm...?

Actually, Coldplay takes the boring award.  U2 may be boring, but at least they were original in their boring-ness.  Coldplay stole their boring vibe.

For 4 years, my co-workers and I have been required to work two weeks on day shift and two weeks on afternoons. A large number of us find our health is in question. We have tried many times to have one shift to work, either days or afternoons. We find that the first two days of change is very hard to handle, accidents always seem to occur, I often state that someone's going to hurt. The problem is, we are really feeling stressed. If anyone has study information, I would be grateful to have the information.

Sorry I can't help with the study ... But I know what you're going through. I had a swing shift like that for a while and it was rough. Only mine was 12 hour shifts, swinging from nights to days. The bad part was not getting any sleep. Just about the time you got used to it ... it was time to swing again. I finally brought it up at one of our shift meetings, so they voted right then, and it was unanimous. No one wanted the swing shift. \n\nMaybe you could get them to take a poll or vote like that, to show them no one wants it.


I'm born and raised LDS, and I have never been able to get why people I talk to automatically go to the "cult" theory, or they just say that I'm going to Hell.

After reading the responses here it is clear to me that the number one problem is that they do not understand what the LDS church teaches.  I've heard all the criticisms before, and they are all based on faulty understanding of what the Mormons believe, or on reliance of non-LDS documents which do not tell the truth.  There is a truthful answer to every one of your objections, people, which will satisfy an honest and sincere seeker of truth.


Cytochrome c, a and a3, F1 and F0 unit of ATP synthase, Coenzyme Q and Iron-sulfur proteins.  Also, why do the FeS proteins have different reduction potentials in the different complexes?

Oh Biology, how do I miss thee!!!!!  Ah that was some good times.  Cytochrome c oxidase is part of the respiration cycle and it accepts electrons.  That about all I can remember but thanks for the points and a trip down memory lane.


On some of the political questions I have asked for people to provide original sources for their information and not one person has produced it so far.  A website that tells me a study was done is not an original source. The study itself is the original source.  A blog that tells me ther is evidence for such and such is not an original source.  The actual evidence is the original source.   A news report is not an original source either. If you can not tell me where to find original sources or produce credentials that show that you are a reliable expert than your word is not a dependable source of information.

go to your local library and ask a librarian if they know of any books/articles/papers on the subject.  If it is not an original source then these sources will reference their original source and so on.  Local university libraries are very useful for this too.  You can't find everything online.

The problem is.... Find the ratio of the volume of a sphere to the volume of the smallest cylinder that will contain it. Please show your work.\n\nFormula for Volume of Sphere\n4/3 (pi) (radius^2)\n\nFormula for Volume of Cylinder\n(pi) (radius^2) (height)\n\nPlease post soon!

The smallest cylinder that will contain the sphere has to be exactly as big around as the sphere and just as tall.  So, if the sphere has radius r, then the cylinder has radius r and height 2r.\n\nCorrect Volume of Sphere = 4/3 * (pi) * (r^3)\n\nVolume of Cylinder = (pi) * (r^2) * (2r)\n\nRatio of sphere to cylinder:\n\n(4/3 * (pi) * (r^3)) / ((pi) * (r^2) * (2r))\n\n= 2/3


Still having irregular heartbeats, going to see my own doctor in 5 days, still worried though cause i just have no energy and my left arm feels heavy no pain though

Don't worry and stress yourself out until you have a reason to do so, ok?  YOu will see your doctor and it will all be sorted out.  But the truth is, a LOT of people have irregular heartbeats.  some end up being mitrovalve prolapse, which is what I have. I don't do anything differently because of it..  Best of luck to you.

I live in a small town and the cops here are working and pick up kids from school while on duty and drive around with family in the car while on duty. I want to know if this is legal? Can they stop people with wife and kids in the car? Is it just because we live in a small town, that they get away with this? Or is this normal for all cities? I know these cops because we live in a small town, and don't think this is right, is there anything that can be done about this?

It's a matter of policy, not a legal question.  \n\nIf I were in charge, I wouldn't allow it because there is a massive liability issue if the family members get hurt. \n\nApparently, your town's policy is to allow it.


If you can answer this question please also read my other question.  You may be able to help me find an answer. - Thanks!

The morning is generally a better time because right away it boost your metabolism and thus helps you burn more of the meals you consume that day. Also, if you execise in the morning be sure to eat something small before the workout so your body will have something to workoff and not go straight to your muscle.

Not much actually as we still don't really have a clue what black holes actually are.\nThere are many questions to ask about the greenness of the black hole.. First, if the light is coming from the black hole itself then we actually don't have any black holes and everything we thought about them was wrong. \nScience is the art of guesswork based on what we already know. The term for this is called EMPIRICAL Science. Basically everything we are aware of is explained in this way.. When we make new laws or decided a black hole is a black hole, we are only guessing according to what we already know. \nIf you remember, people thought the world was flat, based on what they knew at that time. \nAnd the zeroth law of thermodynamics is called the zeroth because they had already come up with the first ,second and third before they realised they'd missed one..\nThe good thing about this is that essentially, this makes you just as smart as any of the top scientists in the world. Sadly, most of them would not share this point of view!!!!!


...and  I'm sure there are, what year do you think they'd be in right now?  And do you think they wonder the same?

A recent scientific study estimates that there are AT LEAST 70-sextillion stars in the universe, one of which is of course are own sun. The odds AGAINST none of those other stars having planets occupied by sentient life are astronomical (pun intended). Undoubtedly of all the life forms that exist in the universe some are technologically at the same level as we are, while others are at least several thousand years ahead of us. Still others might be where we were 3-million years ago---just down from the trees. Certainly, any alien life with any intelligence at all must wonder if there are other life forms somewhere other than their own world.

You didn't make up the rules.  If you want to play the game, you must follow the rules.\nAt one time, all the community's sins were put on a "scapegoat" and the poor thing was sacrificed.  Then an even bigger sacrifice was made, not just for a community, but for everyone who ever lived or ever would live.  If you accept this paradigm, you can't change a thing.  Sorry.


where is he?how come dog doesnt help me when i pray to him?am i wasting my time with "praying"?why do we need a god?

Chew on this, it's a famous agument called "The Problem of Evil":\n\n   1. If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.\n   2. If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.\n   3. If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.\n   4. If God is morally perfect, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   5. Evil exists.\n   6. If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, or doesn't know when evil exists, or doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil.\n   7. Therefore, God doesn't exist.

I am really thinking of becoming a doctor. What kind should I become? I am interested in the nervous sytem and emergency medicine. I was thinking a neurosurgeon, but I'm not sure.

I am an Emergency Room Nurse, so I vote ER.  It's a very satisfying field, ever changing, unpredictable and you have to know about all aspects of health care.  When you go through medical school you will have different rotations in various departments and fields of medicine, so you will get a taste and figure out which one will be most satisfying for you and your career.\nPS: Neurosurgeons consult in ER, but I don't believe they work specifically in the ER..but..every hospital is different, depending on size, funding, programs, etc.


You know, a site like NRA for support of the 2nd Amendment, etc. I would like to become an active member of such a group to support removal of illegal trespassers into our country. We need to secure our  borders first, then remove all illegals that are here. Anyone know of such an organization?

I have not seen anything on the Internet yet. It seems to me that the ones supporting illegals being in this country are being more racist then the ones trying to kick them out. People need to grow up and answer a question without having to go the racist route in their answers


This is my fisrst time doing a presentation in front of my co-workers, any good tips would be appreciated. Thanx.

The first thing to do is make sure your know all the materials you presenting, be confident since they are your peers whom you speak to at work every day, just think that you are teaching them how to do (what the presentation is all about) and do not give too much eye contact on one person, just look around the room often and do not look at the ceiling or the floor because that will give it away that you are nervous. Bottom line look at it as if you are teaching your peers your favorite subject.

I would like to begin a real estate investment company.

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


we've been going out about a month now and he is into me way more than I'm into him.  To tell you the truth he's starting to freak me out because he's telling me he loves me and there is no way he can after a month.  I just don't see this going anywhere, it's always hard to be in a relationship where one person has much stronger feelings.  He's a really sweet guy though and I don't want to hurt him. I mean I know it will hurt, but how do I break up with without hurting him alot? I really need help so if you have any advice I could use all that I can get!

Let him catch you in bed with another woman.... oh hang on, that might not work... another man may be better


I see the Detroit Pistons and the Miami Heat with the Pistons winning in six games.


This is a general guide / overview on the procedure to format your hard drive.  If you have special problems not covered in this document, please ask your questions on  PCBUILD mailing list.\n\nNow to begin, you will need a MS Dos6.xx or Windows9x boot disk.\n\nSTEP ONE\nYou first need to decide what operating system you intend to load after formatting the hard drive.  It is best and easiest to use a boot disk for that Operating System, such as MS Dos6.2 or Windows95b or Windows98SE.   You will need the proper Windows95/98 boot disk in order to load the these operating systems on the computer, else it will reject loading due to the wrong Operating System on the computer. \n\nSTEP TWO\nInsert your boot disk in the floppy drive and start the computer.  Once the system has completed booting and an A: prompt appears we are ready to start. \n\nType: format C: /s      [press Enter]\n\nThis statement tells the system to format your "C" drive and when it is finished to copy the system files to the drive, (the /s switch for 'System').   You can format a different drive this way by using a different drive letter. \n\nFormat should display: WARNING, ALL DATA ON\nNON-REMOVABLE DISK DRIVE C: WILL BE LOST!\nProceed with Format (Y/N)? Type [Y]  [Press ENTER]\n\nYour screen should display the size of your drive and a countdown in percentage of formatting completed.  Depending on your computer's speed and the size of the drive it can take from a few minutes to over 15minutes.\n\nSTEP THREE\nWhen it reaches 100% complete, you will see a new message:   \nFORMAT COMPLETE. SYSTEM TRANSFERRED.   \n\nThis indicates that the files required to boot your computer from the hard drive have been copied from the floppy to the hard drive.  The computer can now boot from the hard drive without a boot disk in the floppy drive.\n\nYou will see one last message:\nVolume label (11 characters, ENTER for none)?\nType anything you like or leave it blank - [Press ENTER]\n\nYou can now begin to load your Operating System.\n\nSpecial Note:\nYou may receive the error message:\n"insufficient memory to load system files"\n\nThis is caused by the lack of a memory manager loaded at boot and your PC can only access the first 1mg of ram memory.  There are two possible solutions:\n\n1) Omit the /s switch when formatting. This is done by typing this:\n  FORMAT C:   [press enter]\n\nThen when the format is complete, manually add the system files to your hard drive by using this command:\n   SYS C:   [press enter]\n\n2) You will need to load a memory manager in order to overcome this issue. Not knowing what operating system boot disk you are using is an issue here. However, Windows98 boot disks load a memory manager, so let us assume it is either Windows95 or earlier.\n\nYou need to add the file HIMEM.SYS to your boot disk and then modify your Config.sys file on the boot disk.  \n\n  Download HIMEM.SYS  10k\n\nUnzip the file to your boot disk and add this line in the Config.sys, (make this the first line):\n\n  DEVICE=himem.sys\n\nNow, reboot your computer with the boot disk and it should work fine.\n\nYou will find that the boot disks we offer for download are all configured with a Memory manager and contain the file:  HIMEM.SYS\n\nmovables : http://freepctech.com/pc/001/002.shtml\n\n\ntarek


Can someone help - where can I purchase a "6 tiers metal box lockers" in Brooklyn and or in New York City?\n\nThank you.

It would have been common for Norse raiders to run down the coast. This guy has the look of a chief! So if he was captured and made an example of ....!

LMAO...Of course it is...it's carbon-dated at well after the fall of the Roman empire, and is a beautiful piece of art.


You know he's very jealous and protective of her. She is very attractive but her parents and her brother may impose and probably call the cops on u. she or he are not minors and u know that if u go out with them u hit the jack pot!!

as long as everyone is above the age of consent and you are able to put up with the consequences then go for it


Li vs. Be \n\nis it like from left to the right of periodic table the atoms get smaller and from up to down the atoms get larger ? thank u

the table is arranged just like you said; down and to the right means bigger.


Consider the function g(x)=3^x.  If the domain consists of all real number , the range is?\n\na.all real numbers\nb.all rational numbers\nc.all positive real numbers\n\nGet 20 points because i will choose you as best answer for 2 of my questions!

It will be C\nI'll explain you why\nsince function is 3^x, no matter which real number you put into the function, the result will be more than 0. If you put a negative number, you'll get a fraction. If you put a positive number, you'll get a power of 3.\n\nExample.\nx=-4\ny= 3^(-4)=1/3^(4)= 1/27\n\nwhich is a positive number, small, but positive.


i need a Clarkston middle school year book FROM 2005-2006! Or even Clarkston elementary but mostly middle...

They don't put middle school yearbooks on the internet. Maybe the school has a web page that allows remote ordering but I doubt it because it is a hastle to connect credit cards to a web page. Call the school office and do it over the phone. Although most schools have to preorder them and it may no longer be possible at all.


As quick as i can put it, more a theory than anything.  Does anyone out there think that, when you travel faster, time slows down.  Would this have anything to do with atoms and their spinning electrons. You know how when a helicopter is flying, the rotors can only go so fast before they no longer create lift.  Do you think this is part of the reason why we age slower, regardless, when an electron is spinning around the neucleus, do you think that there would be a "dead spot" in the spin like a helicopters blades?  I would like to explain more but don't have the time or space on this page.  Any other opinions on the subject?  THEORY ONLY!

It's an interesting idea, but subatomic particles that do not have electrons are also affected by time dilation (cosmic rays for instance).  And electrons do not literally spin around a nucleus (as far as we can tell) there is a potential for it to be anywhere in a give shell at any given time.


Were you a mean child now you are a nice adult?\nWere you popular now you are not?\nDid you hate sports now you love sports?  \nor were you a bully and still a bully... etc...

i wanted to be donna reed. clean house, neat, high-maintenance clothes and makeup and hair. skinny. always cheerful and selfless. also very conservative and intollerent. i didn't want to go to college. i wanted to get married. but like girls who say they'll never marry, and do, i said i'd never go to college, and did. what i had wanted to be is nothing like who i really am, and was then, by nature. i'm creative, abstract, messy. what i had wanted to be was very superficial (not saying bad, just not fundamental.) it has been hard for me to accept that i'm never going to be what i had envisioned, but i did, because i had to. and now i'm happy with it! i kind of like my "flaws", my messy house and casual appearance. and finding out i am not perfect, and cannot be, has helped me to be more understanding of those who are different than me.


what are you listening too?\ni've got "war pigs" on

greatest hits of the 80's right now- 80's music ROCKS!!!!!!!


my friend is in love with a girl,which i know she's in relaishionship with another guy ,what can i do,shall i tell my friend? u should know that the other guy is my friend too, oops !

You should leave it alone, if the guy is your good friend, dont mess up their relationship.  Life isnt fair and you shouldn't ruin 2 lives just to satisfy your lust.

i want to take data from 3 different excel files to another file..is there any shortcut for that?\nIf i have 3 excel files named A, B, C and i want to create a new excel file with the name ABC and i want the data of the 3 files into one...i have 100 files ..i want the data of all the file sin one file..is it possible? pls help?

If you dont have any functions in you excel, you want to dump the plain entered data only and using windows XP, use the following trick:\n\nSave all files in text format (tab delimited). You can also try using any tool to convert files in mass. Make a new folder and move all the text files to that folder.\n\nOpen CMD by typing CMD in start>run.\ngo to the folder where you have saved the text files. You can use the CD command to switch between folders.\n\nEx:\nCD myf\nto switch the CMD Line the the folder myf. use:\nCD ..\nto switch to the parent directory.\n\nWhen you have reached the required directory (where u have saved text files), type in the following command:\n\ncopy *.txt full_data.txt\n\nThis will merge all data in all files into full_data.txt\n\nThen open excel and import the full_data.txt file.\n\nThough there is some better way to do,\nI hope this will help you.


My due date is October 29,2006. The problem is I had sex with one guy on 1/16/2006 and the other on 1/22/2006. The big thing is that I started my period on 1/22/2006, but it was only spotting. So far I have had 2 ultrasounds and they have both been the same. When did I get pregnant.

Sounds like you need to call Maury Povitch.


Seems like spiritual adolescence rather than maturity.\nSeems like mutiny rather than scrutiny in body of Christ.\nNevertheless, the end is notably already written:\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all.\nA singular "Amen" to that only, makes you all holy.

It's called consciousness of the masses.  No one thinks on their own any more.  They think and believe what is told them by their ministers, pope, friends, family.\n\nNo one searches their soul and comes to deep spiritual understanding on their own---spoon fed--\n\nIt's why my mother and sister and brother have nothing to do with me because I'm gay.  They have ex-communicated me.\n\nHow right is that?


I bought a Dell Dimension 3000 last summer, it has big noise from the fan, the noise goes down in the winter time as the weather is cold, but for the other three seasons, the room is full of the noise, which I really don't want bear it any more. Does someone experience this? How to solve this annoying problem?\n\nIf I don't see any help from Dell soon, I will tell anyone I know to not buying Dell's PC, at least for desktop!!!

It Sounds Like Ur Fan haz Had It I Had The Same Thing Happed To Me U Just Need To Replace The Fan Its Cheap To Replace And Easy To Do Hope That Helps


What's so exciting about sex anyways? After the bliss, don't you feel empty and sick? Is it really fun? Why are we never satisfied?

If you have these feelings after sex, it means you have emotional problems that need to be treated by a professional. Sex is a beautiful act that should be performed between people that love each other, and would never leave you "sick and empty." I hope you seek help because this reaction is not normal.


Did any one ever notice that when you post an answer, calling some one something, only the person it applies to replies? Read my other questions, when I called American women whores, they all jumped to say "not me" then went on to call me names... If you were not a whore then why did you answer it? it didnt apply to you, it only applied to the WHORES that dont know how to dress apropreatly. I never said where I was from, but every one assumed Muslim country, I thought that was also intresting. I didnt stero type, you all did it for me.\n\nI am simply wondering how many other people agree, that when you ask a question, only the guilty ones will reply?\n\nI found the responces funny. Let me know what you think.

It is funny, and I completely agree with you. I work for the State, and I have to say, Most of the women that are rapped are the ones dressed like a "whore" (and I use that word lightly). \n\nmy opinion is, first of all, if you dont like the question, or "it dont apply to you" then dont answer it! But think why you dont like the question? is it TRUE? because the truth ALWAYS hurts (90% of Americans are hurt by the truth). And if you want the attention of men by dressing as you do, then perhaps you should wear your label and accept it. If you dont want the label then dont wear the cloths that a "whore" would wear. \n\nI do think you approched the question some what harsh, however you made your point, and I found it to be funny, and very true. \n\nthanks for the laugh, and to every one else, if he spoke the truth then soak it up and deal with it, or change your habits! and remember, you will be seen by the way you present your self, and for the sake of all officers, stop complaining that you were "RAPED" when you are dressing as if to say "come get me". Wear your birthday suit at home, and cover more in the public.


I have a problem. (Problem X)\n\nIt is not a problem that I know how to sort out, but is a problem I have no chioce but to tackle because of the consquences of failing to tackle it.\n\nIt is a problem that I cannot get help with or have sorted out for me.\n\nHow does this problem get removed?\n\nRead carefully - Do not say "You can't", it is a problem that has to be removed to solve this riddle and there is an answer.\n\nHow is it done?\n\nThink about this and if you get it right, you will get 10 pionts, there IS an answer.\n\nCREED


do i need a windows vista cd to instal it or do i can upgrade it from xp


Especially at a store with the initials FL.

vedder, You may have not been in the store to hear some of the rude, disgusting comments some shoppers make to these young girls. I used to be a manager, and there were countless times they would be brought to tears by some overbearing butthead. You are correct that sometimes they may be rude, but please consider, there are two sides to every coin.


If you could be self employed, would you? If so, what attracks you to being self-employed. Best answer will be picked for honest answers.

Yes, you can set your own hour and ppl cant boss you around... another good thing about self-employed is FREEDOM AND you can earn more $$$


which animal kills or destroys the environment in the world.

the most dangerous animal in the world that destroys the Environment and kills all the animals is called Homosapian.\n\nthey are now classified as being an invasive plague to the planet ,if you observe their devellopment from space.\n\nthe most dangerous animal that has killed the most people or homosapians ,is the hippopotamus ,because man has invaded and shrunk their habitats.\n\nLions in central Africa hunt and kill a lot of people ,because poverty has made the people kill all the game of,and the lions are short of food,but the hippo´s still have killed the most.


Did you mean NTLDR? If so, your operating system is hosed now. That is one of the main files to load Windows 2000/XP. A reinstall is the quickest (and most likely only) fix. Or you can try this: http://www.techimo.com/forum/t136282.html

I don't really want to run it on CO2 due it inconsistency so I was wondering if anyone has tried both compressed air and nitrogen and what works better.

Personally I use C02, but a Nitrogen tank is EXPENSIVE, but it gives so much more added volcity, Compressed air is simmilar to C02, expept you can fill it yourself if you have a special tank and compresser.

how do you determine if a lymph node is swollen? and how big are they when enlarged?

It varies...some swelling is so slight you won't really notice, and can progress to rather severe. Hit WebMD and see what info you can find there. It's a very informative site.


I'm planning again to buy gifts for him before he gets home from work, after contract(he's a seaman).

Maybe a nice Nautical watch, knife, or a nice outfit and then take him out later that evening.  Mainly, just focusing on him when he returns should be the actual gift.  If he has been gone for some time, then he may already have something planned out for when he comes home.  The best gift I guess would to be to act out his "planned for months on end" fantasy, and then maybe the next day or the next night could be the two of your "special evening" the way you may see it.  I'm not a sailor, but I'm a soldier and I'm also deployed away from my wife and family.  What I mentioned, in my eyes, would be the gift to come home to.


What is life without a partner? Or do men worry about these things?

I think everyone is afraid of being alone


I love a boy of my same age since 5yrs.I tried to propose him thire.But,he didn't came on the place when it's time to tell him.I am so confused now.What to do? I am unable to concentrate on my studies.I cant live without him.So plz help me.I think so he may b knowing that i love him but still no responce.but some some times we often stare in each other's eyes for a long time..........so what to do?

Take it easy.  Give it time.  Since you used the term "boy" I am assuming that you are not an adult.  Trust me, the feelings you have now will no longer exist when you become an adult.  When you get older, this boy won't matter to you at all.  Therefore, you have only two options here. Either way you have to first realize that this REALLY isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. \n\nhere are your options...\n1. Realize that your situation is nonsense and forget about it altogether.\n \n2.  Realize that none of this is going to matter at all one day so you have nothing to lose.  Just tell him how you feel.  If he doesn't feel the same about you, oh well.  Doesn't matter.  Move on.  \n\nIn a few months or years you'll have a new crush and you can make this decision all over again at that point in time, with the same two options.  Also, if you go ahead and tell him how you feel, there's always the chance he feels the same and you two can do whatever it is you plan to do with each other.  (yay!)


middle school was bad for me but i can give you a few tips\n1. dont talk about anyone\n2.hang out with as many people as you can\n3. keep your secrets\n4.tell the truth\n5. keep your grades up\n6. keep a positive attitude\n7. Never get discouraged to do anything & keep your head up \n\ndo this and you will be fine \n\nin middle school i did most of this stuff  its just that i learned not to trust everyone with your secrets or life a little too late  - that and the fact that my school was pure hell is the reason that my mid school experiance was kinda bad


dose sole legal and physical custody mean the other person dose not have any rights

Sole physical custody means that only one parent has the legal right to maintain physical control over the child. Joint physical custody means that both parents have the legal right to maintain physical control over the child.  In joint physical custody situations, the child essentially has two homes.  While he is in one parent’s home, that parent is treated as the “custodial parent” and the other parent is treated as the “noncustodial parent”; when he is in the second parent’s home, that parent is the custodial parent and the other parent is treated as the noncustodial parent. A parent who is awarded joint physical custody may also be awarded visitation or parenting time rights during those periods of time in which the child is in the care of the other parent.

I came from a private school and I would like to know if I'm a paying student in PLM,(if I passed)? and I would also like to ask if though I didn't passed the entrance exam in PLM I can still study there as a paying student and how much will it cost???

Hi... I am a graduate of PLM Batch 96. You won't be a paying student if you live within Metro Manila even if you came  from a private school. No, you can't study there if you fail the entrance exam.


Okay here it goes last week I was home and the girl of my dreams went out with me.(I have been in love with this girl for 4 years) We went to the drive in one thing led to anther we started to do are thing. but before anything happened I stop because I love this girl so much that it did not feel right that are first time together be in my car. I told her this was not the right place and took her home. Do you think this was wrong of me to do, and what do you think would be going in your head if this happened to you??

If she respects herself, she will want you even more and try to find out more about who you are and what your personality is like because you showed good self-control, consideration for her feelings, an interest in her for the future and respect.  If she was just whoring around, she will not see you anymore and find someone who just wants a one night stand. You absolutely, did the right thing for the right reason.  You deserve the best, too.


Times are bad, we need Bill back in office to clean up this Republican dictators mess.

I think anyone should be able to run more than two times. If he did a good job he should stay in office till the public thinks otehrwise... And for the guy who said this:\n \n"Absoloutely not. Democrats are to blame for this mess. High taxes, and anti-business laws are making it difficult to recover fully. Of course, looking at your question proves to me that your mind is already made up, so why waste your time even bothering to post this question? Because you wish to find others who believe the same way so you don't feel so lonely."\n\nActually Republicans have been in power not only in the White House but in most of the legislator for about 5 years now. But you do have a point... i dont like those antibuisness laws either. Bill Clinton was a good president and did imany things. Under his administration they cut down on drugs alot. And people kepe saying he gutted the military which is sort of true. You have to rememebr that the cold war was over when he was in office and we didnt need that many arms. And Bush's success in the middle east (in his first term) he owes to Clinton. You are allways using the army that the guy before you had. \n\nBack to the point. Look at FDR. He was an office from 1933-1945 (which is more than two terms) and if it werent for him this country probably might not be where it is today. And as i said before... if he is a good president... let him run as many times as it takes until he isnt a good one.


So  how can I get a copy of the will I have no money for a lawyer. Can I go to the loical court house and get a writ of summons. If I am disinherited how can I go about fighting this.

Truly sad.  Your mother passes away and all you can think about is money.  Pathetic.


The incident ten years ago. half of the fine was paid. Then I left the state. I have not been back. How to resolve the problem without creating another?

Actually, all states have statutes of limitations, but those do not apply in your case. A statute of limitations is the time required, after an offense, in which proceedings must be instituted. Most states have eliminated statutes of limitations only for the most severe offenses, such as first degree murder.\nBecause your proceedings have already occurred, any statute of limitations doesn't apply. What you need to be concerned with is the fact that you apparently haven't fulfilled the judgment against you. Do you have any idea that the state of California is looking for you? If so, they can easily have their judgment enforced in another state. If not, the case may simply have been idled long enough that no one is working to seek enforcement. You may be able to call the clerk of the court in which the judgment was rendered to find out the status of the case. It is public information. Since the case is so old, they may not be able to give you the information over the phone, and you may have to go there in person. Even if you have to go there, the clerk's office personnel are not in the position, even if they wanted to, to attempt to find out who you are and to enforce the judgment.


The ER treats your leg injury etc. but inorder to do this the ER has to cut up your clothes to get to your injuries. You are released from the ER wearing clothes tied to you-  different patterns of clothing. You are standing near a bus stop, because you have no other means of getting home(ur mate is as work). People start to look and stare at you in passing, as if you need somekind of a handout or something. If this happened to you, how did it feel? If you didn't experience, please use your imagination.

I wouldn't care what other people think. You are who you are and you can't change that.

the point is that I want to put this feature to work in my Word  program in stead of typing

It should come with the program if you installed it with the original CD.

Also, you could buy other software such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 or any other software listed in the site below. Preferably, Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 is the best, but that is up to you to choose.

according to a recent census there are more mexicans in the u.s. than in mexico. at this rate whites will be the minority. do you think that this would help other american born races?

How long do you think it's going to take us to see that we are almost the minority now!


the rife machine is a machine that runs off of frequencys the man who invented this machine died and left nothing to prove what any of these configurations we're.This machine was put together to cure all dieases.

Just because Rife died in 1971 doesn't mean that he left no papers for his decades of research. There was a company in the late 80's to early 90's called LER that made what they named the REM SuperPro Generator. Though I can't vouch for any of the newer models, I can say that Rife's technology was right on if you can find an original model.\n\nAs far as the claims of curing all diseases, let's just look at the evidence from the newspapers of the day.\nYES it killed cancer cells, YES he was heralded as having found the cure for all diseases at the estate of Dr. Milbank Johnson, YES he had 100% success rate on the all patients in the Pasadena county hospital. \n\nA Rife machine uses scalar waves, along the now established fact that every organism operates at it's own distinct frequency. By increasing the resonance, a particular organism can be destroyed without harming the tissue around it. Rife meticulously recorded the M.O.R. (mortal oscillatory rate) for the thousands of micro-organisms he could see under his universal microscope. A properly built Rife frequency generator cannot hurt, except for a brief healing crisis, followed by an incredible feeling of health and well-being taken from years of testimonials (unless you have a pacemaker from what I've heard). A huge amount of reading on Rife's story and research can be found at some of the links below. \n\nMost of the rife machine makers cycle through all the known frequencies they've discovered through their own independent research or the information that Rife was able to leave behind. With limited access to Rife's original work, it's hard to say. To this day there have been no double-blind clinical trials on any of the reproductions, so the evidence for the technology remains as much as reliant on testimonials as the claims against it.\n\nUnfortunately, it's true that most but not all of his work was destroyed because of the newly created AMA and FDA that came into power in the 1930's. They ruled Rife's work did not fall under their now established guidelines for medical practice, and with the government to back them up, it was the end for his work.

my legs have been unusually sore and tight after walking lately.  They have also been twitching.  I read that this could be a sign of MS.  I have a doctor appointment soon but, was wondering if anyone could give me any more details.  Thank you.

Spasticity is like a “wicked charley horse.”  Brain injury from stroke sometimes causes muscles to involuntarily contract (shorten or flex) when you try to move your limb, creating stiffness and tightness.\n\nWhen a muscle can't complete its full range of motion, the tendons and soft tissue surrounding it can become tight.  This makes stretching the muscle much more difficult.   If left untreated, the muscle can freeze permanently into an abnormal and often painful position.Spasticity in the leg may cause a stiff knee, pointed foot and curling of the toes\nyou should go to the doctor and get their opinion.. check web md. with your symptoms too..


I dissolved 0.80g of KMnO4 (M=158.3)and dissolved it in water to make a 250ml KMnO4 solution of concentration o.o2mol/L.I then titrated this solution against the \nFeSO4(NH4)2.SO4.7H2O solution that I made by dissloving 5.13g of the solid in water to make up 250ml of this solution (concentration=o.o5mol/L) I pipette 25ml of the \nFeSO4(NH4)2.SO4.7H2O solution and see how much KMnO4 solution is needed and then work out the exact concentration of KMnO4. However it is unexpectedly only 0.013mol/L. Why is that? (experiment is repeated more than 3 times)\nps. i carried out the titration immidiately after i made the two solution so i think the KMnO4 shouldnt hv reacted already...

========\n\nApparently purity, calculation or measurement errors have been there.\n\nYou repeated the thrice from the same solution to get an average.\n\nTry another solution.


Not to sound conceited, but they're are girls that I could easily ask to go out with and they'll say yes.  However Im not the relationship type..I guess because I'm looking for this great girl who has all that I want, but I shouldnt be like this at my age(17).  Should i just experiment and test the waters?  One girl has something that the other girl doesnt..so which should become wifey?

neither. clearly you don't have Strong enough feelings for either girl, so move on to another girl who has everything you want, don't settle for mediocrity, even at you age. if you develop good habits like this now you will save yourself a world of trouble when you get older when it really counts.

Isn't being a muslim woman the best thing in the world?\n\nMashallah :-))

Why are so many Women converting to Islam?\nAccording to "The Plain Truth", February 1984, in its 50 Year Anniversary Issue, quoting from the "World Almanac and Book of Facts 1935" and "Reader's Digest Almanac and Yearbook 1983", between 1934 and 1984.\n\nChristianity increased 47% \nWorld Population increased 136%\nIslam increased 235%\n\n  \n\n100,000 people per year in America alone, are converting to Islam. For every 1 male convert to Islam, 4 females convert to Islam.\nThey're discovering the FACTS and not basing their decisions on biased media. They realise they deserve to know the complete unadulterated truth. \n  \n1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original Sinners (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden tree){Genesis 2:4-3:24}. \n\nThe Koran Clarifies it was Adam Not Eve {Koran 7:19-25} \n  \n\n2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a loss" {Ecclesiasticus 22:3}. \n\nThe Koran says both are an Equal Blessing {Koran 42:49} \n  \n\n3. The Bible forbids women from speaking in church {I Corinthians 14:34-35}. \n\nThe Koran says women can argue with the Prophet {58:1} \n\n4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as an Adulteress, not men {Matthew 5:31-32} \n\nThe Koran does Not have Biblical double standards{Koran 30:21} \n  \n\n5. In The Bible, widows and sisters do not inherit Any property or wealth, only men do {Numbers 27:1-11} \n\nThe Koran abolished this male greed {Koran 4:22} and God protects all. \n  \n\n6. The Bible Allows Multiple Wives {I Kings 11:3} \n\nIn The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only under certain situations (with the wife's permission)and prefers you marry only one wife {Koran 4:3} The Koran gives the woman the right to choose who to marry. \n  \n\n7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives" {Deuteronomy 22:28-30} \n\nOne must ask a simple question here, who is really punished, the man who raped the woman or the woman who was raped? According to the Bible, you have to spend the rest of your life with the man who raped you. \n\nThe Prophet Muhammad Says {Volume 9, Book 86, Number 101} Narrated by Aisha:"It is essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the marriage)". \n\nWould the Non-Muslim men reading this prefer the Women they know to be Christian or Muslim? \n  \n\n8. The Bible also asks women to wear veils as in Islam {I Corinthians 11:3-10} \n\n\n\n9. Women were given rights to Vote less than a 100 years ago in the (US), while the Koran gave women voting rights almost 1,500 years ago. \n\n\n\nChristian Scientists are declaring the Koran is from God.

The list goes on and on, to hear from some of these converts, including Nuns, and many Famous people click Here.

Peace and Blessings upon All.


with games agains both usc on the road but early in the season and usc's starting running back out maybe they have a shot and home game against the texas long horns, both teams that played in the national championship and possibly playing an oklahoma team who i think will be hot next year in the big 12 championship its going to be 3 tough games of the year that can all be won with zach taylor who i think has to be the toughest qb in college football for the beating he took last year because of the week offensive line.. i think 10 wins is very possible

No, only 9 because they only have 9 patsies on their schedule.


Why wouldn't you go to a docotor instead of asking a bunch of strangers questions.  I would be at the docotor in a flash!

Emma, I agree with you 100%.  I too don't understand why they do it.  I always reply with "ask you doctor this question" when I see stuff like this floating around.\n\nEspecially, pregnant women with questions which should only be asked to their doctors.\n\nI will sit back and read the other replies.


king arthur has his knights around the round table. he picks one to get spacial treasures he has aquired on his journeys. he starts with the first knight saying "in" then to the next knight "out" and so on around the table. then with the remaining "in" knights he does the same skipping the knights that are out. eventually by doing this he narrows it down to one knight. now, every time he does this there are different amounts of knights there, some away on missions and such. what the problem is is that i have to find an equation that, no matter how mant knights there are at the table, i can quickly find out where i should sit to get the treasure

For a moment, I thought that Gabrielwyl had the correct pattern, then I noticed a mistake in for n=14. If there are 14 people, you should sit in the 13th spot.\n\nThen I checked gulabo's answer, and he did a good job of trying to find an expression to the pattern, except that it doesn't work. He wrote, "So, if n is even just SIT AT FIRST POSITION." Not true. You can check it yourself. His expression for if n = an odd integer is also incorrect.\n\n\n\nAnyways, the pattern for n people (yourself included) is to sit at the listed position. It's similiar to Gabrielwyl's except with the mistake corrected, and the pattern defined.\n\nN.Pos\n------\n1.1\n2.1\n3.3\n4.1\n5.3\n6.5\n7.7\n8.1\n9.3\n10.5\n...\n14.13\n15.15\n16.1\n...\n30.29\n31.31\n32.1\n...\n63.63\n64.1\n...\nn=2^n+x : 1+2x\nn=2^k : 1\n\n\nSo here's the strategy. It's simple:\n\nLet:\n\nn = # of knights including you\nk = an integer >=0\nx = an integer such that 1 <= x < 2^k\n\n1. For every n=2^k where k is an interger>=0, you must sit in the first seat to win.\n\n2. For every interger, n=2^n+x, you must sit in the seat # (1+2x).

My speakers are turned up.  When I play a music file no problem.  But any audio streaming from the web is blocked.  I think it has something to do with my Norton Virus protection but I can't seem to figure it out.

All streaming audio is blocked?  I would guess that there are no audio codecs installed for it, or they may be corrupt.

Most of my in-laws have lied about me since I met my wife back in 1991. Her parents have not but it's her sisters and thier kids and one brother..It caused a divorce her one sister lied caused me to be arrested and I lost everything and ended up in the street.had a apt a nice car a job making aroun 18k a yr. I moved 500 miles away from them..1 yr later the wife after the divorced found out they lied. it crushed her cause they set her up with another man that made more than I did and he had a house.But they didn't know he was mentally abusive to her..well later on We got back together got married again and she still crys at times after what happened,I tell her all is ok I still love her and forgive her, Funny thing is since I moved away I got a better Job 28k now and I own a 4 bedroom home in the country.I did this on my own...the wife had no idea what I was doing when she came back..i wanted her to come back for love not money.But How can I forgive her family for the pain they caused?

Simple answer, you can't until they ask for forgiveness. You can forgive your wife for being mislead (but it looks like you've already done this), but you can't forgive anyone until they ask for it.\n\nIt sounds like your in-laws are dangerous, lying, deceptive people. Hopefully, your wife does / will recgonize this, and will not listen to them anymore. \n\nMy personal suggestion is that these people have already come close to destroying you once. I would not allow them the chance to try again.


Some good upbeat music. I suggest getting an mp3 player if you don't already have one. you could also try doing different exercises like every 10-15 minutes then go back to the treadmill.

How about if one other person is present?  I'm not talking something horrible about them, just something that may or may not be taken as truth by the other person.

Slander involves malicious intent also, which is the toughest part to prove.  If you made a mistake, act stupid, and all of that, it won't hold up in court.  If you're talking to them directly, that's also not slander.


getting coverage.\nI feel our school has treated it as a joke.  12 children were suspended.  This took place at our middle school in North Pole, Alaska in a school of 486 enrolled students.  Had the plot been pulled off, the devastation would have been possibly the greatest in history, because every morning our school piles the entire students body in the lunchroom to wait for the day to start. Depending on what kind of weapons these children were planning to bring, a lot of children could have been hurt/killed.  No one seems to understand what a bad situation piling all of those kids into 1 room like that is.  I have been complaining about it long before the threats happened (and I take my daughter to school every morning so she is not stuck in that room).  No one will do anything about it - even after this plot was nearly carried off.  Do you agree that this is a dangerous situation?  The story for our problem appears in the April 20th addition on the front page of www.news-miner.com

That is a dangerous situation. I think that the school is not handling it seriously enough and I don't think cramming children into one room is going to solve the problem, it is going to make it even more dangerous if something does occur, where is everyone going to go and so on and so forth. \nI think more than just suspension should be taking place. That is like a slap on the hand. I think it should be more like jail time. Look at the two from Columbine, weren't they suspended too? \n\nIf that was my child, I would not be bringing her back to that school, I would definately be looking into home schooling either by me or by a private tutor. \n\nI will be putting my children into home schooling. By the time they are to that school age I am afraid that is what it is going to boil down to.


do you think lita will ever be a punk diva again?

Lita is a lost cause. I really liked the old Lita when she was with the Hardy Boys. Now, she's just Edge's s.k.a.n.k. Besides, I'm a Trish fan anyway. I hope someone slaps Mickey James soon. She's annoying.


I don't think it's that hard, but I get nervous talking to girls that I don't know.  Any suggestions on how to make a good impression on someone u find attractive out in public?

U go up to her and say: "Hey girl, how ya doin’, you are the woman that I'm really pursuin’, I would like to get\nto know ya, can you gimme ya name, if you jot down ya number you'll get mine in exchange, See I'm the man of this town, and I hope you wouldn’t mind if I showed you around, so when you go to certain places you'll be thinkin’ of me, we got people to meet and many places to see, Hey I'm really diggin’ ya lips, but be careful where you walkin’ when you swingin’ them hips, I'm kinda concerned that you'll be causin’ a crash wit ya traffic jam booty, heads pausin’ so fast, Hey I wouldn’t trade you for the world I swear it, I like ya hair and every style that ya wear it, and how the colors coordinate wit ya clothes, from your manicured nails to ya pedicured toes!"


USA is already over its limit. Do you think Israel will attack Iran over the Uranium enrichment? \n\nI seem to have a feeling that is what will happen. They did it to Iraq back in the days too.

No, Israel is already the world's scapegoat for problems it has had little part in creating.\n\nWhat is necessary is a UN resolution requiring the intervention of an International police force to go in and dismantle any and all nuclear programs in Iran.  Iran should be informed that any attempt by Iranians or anyone else to interfere will be responded to militarily to the extent that is necessary.  That would leave the going to war to be their decision.  Hopefully,  they would back down.\n\nIran, an Islamic dictatorship by definition unstable and unreliable, has no right to nuclear power nor to the possession of nuclear fuel. Those who discovered and developed it would never have wished it extended to Iran.\n\nThe problem here is that the UN generally produces resolutions that are irresponsible, unjust, and politically motivated.  They tend to ignore the reality of every international situation.  It simply is an organization that is counterproductive to world peace. Of course fear of annihilation might wake up even the dimmest and most self-interested minds on the face of the earth, and many of them are apparently found in the UN.\n\nThe U.S. is only over its limit because it cannot find the political will to do what is necessary while that is still possible.\n\nThe same situation existed in the six years previous to WWII.\n\nThen the free world waited too long to react to the undeniable intentions of Hitler. As a result we counted the dead not in hundreds but in the tens of millions!  Will it wait too long again?


I have read a LOT of questions on Yahoo Answers....and an exponential number of answers...with a clear dividing line:\n\nGoofball Christians & Their Dogmatic Right Wing Rhetoric  vs. \nGodless Amoral Elitist Liberal Bottom Feeders\n\nIn other words: Extremists all.

I spent a year of my life asking myself that same question.  I read, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the World's Religions" and spoke to many people about their religions (Christians, Jews, Ba'hais, Muslims, Buddhists).  \nThe thing is, there is no one group that leaves me feeling content.\n\nAs with anything else, if you sort through the excess, you find the truth.  Religions are all about being a moral person of high values.  Each believes in a higher power.\n\nIn response to the duality of heaven and hell, consider this...  Is Earth a duality?  No.  Good, bad, or indifferent, we are all here.  And we will all progress together.\n\nI am sorry that I do not have a clear-cut answer for you.  Just live your life well and you'll be fine where ever you find yourself next.


You ask this question at a perfect time. Generally, students don't consolidate (or think about consolidating) until after they graduate -- simply because they want to maximize the 6-month grace period that they automatically receive once they leave school (Note: Perkins loans carry a 9 month grace period). Students are wise to want to preserve these grace periods, since no interest accrues during this time on any federally subsidized loans (such as Perkins and *Subsidized* Stafford Loans [not Unsub]).\n\nHOWEVER, there have been a lot of changes in the recent past (and more to come) that might make you want to consolidate sooner -- perhaps even before you graduate -- as follows:\n\nSince Spring 2004, rates have been on the rise. For the academic year 2004-05, the in-school/in-grace Stafford rate was 2.77%. For 2005-2006, the rate is 4.7% -- a significant increase. Even worse, repayment rates are .6% higher than these in-school/in-grace rates. Now, with the reauthorized Higher Education Act, Stafford loan rates will change to a FIXED rate of 6.8% for all loans, old and new.\n\nAnticipating this increase, many students have decided that they would rather lose their grace period than pay that extra 2% interest for the life of their loans, so they have opted to consolidate before this change takes effect on July 1st.\n\nOf course, the choice when/if to consolidate is yours. A few pros and cons...\n\n1.  In-School consolidation involves a few extra steps.  You will need to complete the usual consolidation application AND send in a form or letter asking your lender(s) to place you into a repayment status. When you are officially in repayment, they can consolidate your loans, just as they would if you has graduated, with the exception that you would receive the in-school interest rate.  Once the consolidation has been processed, your loan company should know to place you into an in-school deferment status.  However, not all companies are this alter, so you would be wise to ensure that they have done this.\n\n2.  If you consolidate while you are in school, you will not receive your 6 month (or 9 month, for Perkins) grace period when you graduate; you will begin repayment as soon as you are withdraw/graduate/become Less-Than-Half-Time.  Usually your first payment will be due the month after you graduate.\n\n3.  You won't be able to add next year's (2006-07) loans into this consolidation and will have to either consolidate them separately or leave them unconsolidated.  Since your rate on these loans will be 6.8% either way, you might be better off leaving them unconsolidated.\n\nBest of luck!


I would love to find a program where I could make picture slide shows with my pictures and be able to put music in the background that I coulf post under my buddy info on aim and give out the link to my friends so that they can see my work.

People that obsess over you, harass with threats and discriminate.   How do you handle it?

It is illegal to post for the public, information about you that is considered a breach of your reasonable expectation of privacy.  Now if you have provided any of the reposted information online in a public forum such as an open chatroom  or on your personal website they have the right to repost it unless you have copyrighted the material (such as your writing).  Or  if it's information like your phone number, real name, et cetera you can actually contact the owner of the website or service they are using to do this - it's tantamount to identity theft. \n\nIf the person is sending you threatening e-mail or messages through an IM service, you can save these and send them both to the service, the individuals ISP (Internet Service Provider), and the police.  In the case of the first two, it's a violation of the EULA (End User Liscense Agreement) or the AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) at the very least and reporting it can have their right to use the services permanently revoked, or a warning will be sent.  For the police, it's either identity theft, or harassment and you may end up being able to prosecute those crimes in a court of law.  \n\nIf you can't just ignore them, the best place to start is to contact the person directly (if you haven't) and ask them to stop.  Should the problem persist send copies of all the harassing / derogatory comments to the owner of the service they are using to send them to you.  Most websites will actually have a link in their FAQ (if they are a company like Yahoo or a message board service) on what to do if you are being harassed by another user of their product and they will help you from there.


is the public starting to see a pattern with americans of african decent and demo always pulling the race card to cover their mistakes?

As a woman with African roots, I was embarassed by McKinney's actions and then she played the race card which was just downright insulting.  She should be held accountable for her actions and apologize to the Officer she assaulted along with the charges being upheld; her race being the extreme reason why she should do this!  I don't care who she thinks she is because she is abusing her authority!  She is NOT above reproach nor the law.  Shame on her!  It is people like her the pushes the stereo-typing in the first place!  McKinney didn't cover her mistakes, she exposed them.


he won't leave me alone he always follow me and stare at me in class.\nhe freaks me out.what can i do?

try to avoid him, or either tell him off.

plz give us more info.will surely fix ur problem.


Or are you still down with East- and West- coast hip hop?

I live in Atlanta (The Capital of Crunk) so of course I'm wit it! The Crunk genre has expanded so much though so a lot of people of are feelin it and maybe just don't know it! Even my dad (47yrs old) likes the "snap" music ("Lean Wit It", "Laffy Taffy")!


My boyfriend and I have lived together for 3 years now, and have a great relationship with the exception of one thing, he has a close relationship with his ex girlfriend who he hides from me and talks to her (on the phone) when I’m at work. I truly believe that there is no ‘hanky panky’ going on or anything like that. I am a very open person and very understanding. I don’t hold any man on a leash and he is free to go wherever and do whatever he wants. I don’t ask questions and I trust him completely. I have my own life and he has his. Now, with all that being said, why does he hide it?

Having explained how understanding you are, I'd say he may not actually be hiding it, he is just not throwing it in your face, might even call it avoiding disrespecting you unintentionally ...your no leash, don't ask ...don't tell trust needs to have a line drawn and if he respects the relationship as much as you, then make sure the phone calls don't become visits when your not around...


I am talking to one of my friends and he keeps saying it but i dont want to sound stupid and ask what it is! does anyone know?

Example:  \n1. taking prayer out of public schools 2. making it illegal to bring up the conversation of God or the Christian religion in a classroom.

Hmm... I don't really think there is a war against Christians in public school. The christians in my school were allowed to pray and they even have an afternoon school prayer group. \n\nMost people think that the government made prayer in schools illegal but in reality you can still pray in schools. They just didn't make it mandatory for people to pray in school which is good because in public school there are a variety of people with a variety of religions and that should be respected.


I'd like to find out what the penalty would be for an employer falsely imprisoning their employee during an interrogation.  I'd also like to know what the penalty is for denying an employee their Weingarten rights by not allowing representation during questioning.  Thanks.

First, false imprisonment is generally a civil tort issue. That means that you would have to sue the employer yourself. Because it is a civil suit, the penalty would take the form of money or some other type of compensation.\nSecond, an employer does not have to allow representation during questioning in the way that a state does. The laws regarding the presence of counsel all refer to criminal prosecutions. Your relationship with your employer is a private matter between the two of you. If there is no contractual stipulation, then they do not have to provide you with the opportunity to have counsel present. Most likely, you are an 'at will' employee, and can be terminated at any time for any reason, or for no reason.

I went to a movie with this guy I really like a couple days ago, and it's kind of hard to tell if he likes me, so should I tell him I like him, or hint towards it, or what?\n\nIf guys could give me suggestions it would be great.

Just ask him you never know the absolute truth unless you put it all out there


My girlfriend is offered to pose nude in a local men'\ns magazine , she's been working as a model for 2 years now, mostly doing local gigs for clothing catalogues and her agent said this can be the big break for her. This mag is quite famous and its nothing hardcore, they said is a clean nude pic. My gal said she won't do it if I don't agree, but yet it can help her career. What should i do ?

really it is her decision. her body. there is nothing wrong with her posing nude.


for example having friendship through websites like www.hi5.com etc.,etc.,

I think it's fine so long that you're safe about it.


Yesterday I saw the back of one of my partners, he's from Vietnam, and I got scary when I saw his back full of red, bigs circles, and I wanto to know if is it a infection disease? He only has this circles over his back.

Red circles are fungus.\nMy God woman I would not have a partner from Vietnam with big red cirlces on his back!\nThat is very contagious. It is fungus and the fact that he has let it go so that they are all over his back without getting treatment tells you that this is NOT SOMEONE YOU WANT TO BE SLEEPING WITH I woudl certanly hope!


Our next game is against a team that we have lost three games to. I feel we can compete against them and win the game against them.

Well motivation is divided into two portions.  Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation.\n\nIntrinsic motivation is the better one unless you are just trying to implement a behavior modification program such as training a dog to fetch a ball.\n\nWhat I would do assuming that your team actually has the softball fundamentals down is bring the group together and watch a movie where somebody goes above and beyond their capabilities to meet a challenge.  The movie "Rudy" is age appropriate for your group but I am a big fan of the movie "Vision Quest" for groups of older people who can handle the sexual innuendo.\n\nThis might give them something to think about as they prepare to meet this other team that spanked them last time.\n\nAlso, I would give them a "one for the gipper" speech and remind them about how much fun it has been for each of them to be a part of this team.  Maybe get a big piece of paper and have them write a favorite memory of the season on it.  This paper could be placed where the whole team could see it.  \n\nThe whole idea here is to increase their beliefs that they have the capability to beat this team.  Sort of a "if I think it...I can do it" vibe.\n\nHope this helps.

my images wont upload with my text despit them being on the pages when checked by internet explorer

Have you uploaded your images onto the web server you are using?  You may have to manually adjust the code that refers to the source of your images.\n\nAre you using a web design software or are you typing in the html?  For example, front page creates all your folders for you and all images and the code correspond, but all that info then as to be uploaded onto the internet in that order or your images won't be found.\n\nIf you are uploading all files manually, remember that the folder structure of your web page on the server has to be an exact copy of the folder structure of your web page on your hard drive, so you have to create folders on the server accordingly.


what is the differnce in softball and baseball?

many many many differences in the two, yet many similarities. The playing stratigies are different also. \n\nActually the game of baseball really originated from a game which was played more like softball! The balls were similar to the 16" softball game played today.\n\nAlso, a seven inning softball game goes a lot quicker than a seven inning baseball game! I have called a seven inning BB game which laste 4 hours, and also a seven inning SB game in 50 minutes!. Love 'em both though!
