are freshmans students in their first year or second ??

For the United States, education is the work of a lifetime.  So education begins in the home, as it does all over the world.  Elementary school ordinarily begins when a child is 5 and lasts for 8 years.\n\nAdd 5 to the year in school to get the average age of children and youngsters in that grade.\n\nNinth grade is the lst year of High School and students are called Freshmen.\nTenth grade is the 2nd year of High School and students are called Sophomores.\nEleventh grade is the 3rd year of High School and students are called Juniors.\nTwelfth grade is the 4th and final year of High School and students are called Seniors.\n\nThus Juniors, in the 11th year of formal education, are 16 to 17 years old.

Pete Frampton: actor, guitarist, singer, hottie hunk. But is he "the man"?

Actually he was the man for about a year in the seventies.


Apparently, I heard that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails said, and I quote, 'We're too big for New Mexico/Albuquerque (can't remember which)'. Someone told me he said this, and I want to know if it's true or not. And why he said it.

No, Trent never said that. He has more substance than that.


I was told that you have to be at least 16 to drop out of high school is this true?

YES AT 16 YOU CAN DROP OUT . BUT IT WILL BE A BIG MISTAKE DON'T QUIT SCHOOL / EVEN IF YOU GET A GED YOU WILL REGRET NOT FINISHING SCHOOL IN YOUR ADULT YEARS . AND MOST EMPLOYERS WONT HIRE A PERSON THAT QUIT SCHOOL BECAUSE IF THEY QUIT SCHOOL THEY PROBABLY WILL QUIT EVERYTHING ELTS THEY EVER DO . STAY IN SCHOOL NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HATE IT . YOU NEED EDUCATION TO SUCCEED IN LIFE


Its model is M814\nI type 192.168.1.1 in the browser and put in the username and password. Then i am in the admin page but there is no firewall section there. If it must be there, so where is it that i can not see it ?!!

If you want to disable the firewall in order to download torrents, you can leave the fire wall there but use "BitComet" instead cos it doesn't get stopped by your firewall.


If anyone can be physic how do u become one? what stratiges do u use? what sences do u use?

I woke up this morning and my eyes were bright green.  They only do that when I am overly emotional, and then not all the time.  I doubt there's any spiritual signifance.  In fact, I would bet on it.  Strange, huh?

What color are your eyes normally?  \n\nYou probably have green in your eyes, if they're hazel.  Mine are brown, and ain't nothin gonna turn my brown eyes green!  I also quit smoking, and they're still brown.

I got my Enertainment Weekly magezine today and it said to stay after the credits.  Unfortunately I saw the movie last night so I didn't stay.  Could someone tell me what happened?

*****SPOILER****  SPOILER****Remember when Professor Charles Xavier was giving the lecture to the students about their poweres and abilities and he had them watch the guy in the hospital bed? He talked about ability transferring if they had the power to do that and what benefits it could have and the ethics of it, etc etc?\n\n\nWEll in the very end after the credits...it shows a female Dr enter a hospital room, she checks in on the patient then we hear Prof Xavier's voice say,"Moira" and she replies "Charles?" so, this is Dr. Moira MacTaggart and Prof Xavier has transferred is mental being into this man. Leaves it open to sequal of course...especially with the fact that Magneto could start moving the chess piece even if it was slight..showing only temporary cure that does not last.

and the born-again Christian conservatives thought Bill Clinton was so bad to betray his wife and tell a lie,,, NEWS FLASH, most men do, even Republicans, but George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, and this bunch of crooks betrayed AMERICA, Which do you believe is worse? Really?

He will try. Those two are such close business partners! You have no idea! They had so many deals under the table in Texas you would not believe! Clinton was a great man (despite his marriage), Dubya is a criminal in every sense of the word!\n\nPS: Neddie, you used to support republicans! What happened? Did you see the light? Welcome to the world of logic and intelligence!


I don't know why... I feel disappointed.

You probably feel that way because it presented just a little bit of lots of different story angles, rather than part 1 and 2's single continuous plot. Same goes for the great many mutants that had very little individual time to develop as characters with depth.\n\nI *understand* why so many people feel disappointed, but I sure as $hit wasn't!!!\nThe movie rocked!

he played for his country many times and played for only 2 clubs----stoke and blackpool

Thomas Stanley Matthews@Sir Stanley Matthews, CBE (February 1, 1915 - February 23, 2000) \n\nAfter playing 698 games in the Football League, Matthews managed Port Vale F.C. (1965-1968) before moving to Malta, where he coached Hibernians, also playing for them until he was 55. He played for numerous local sides, meaning that he was still running down the wing in his 60s. He also coached "Stan's Men" in Soweto, South Africa, and in Canada. He even played in a charity match at Grangemouth as late as 1981.\n\nDuring his illustrious career he gained respect, not only as a great player, but also as a gentleman. This is exemplified by the fact that despite playing in over seven hundred league games, he was never booked. Matthews was made an Inaugural Inductee of the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his outstanding talents.


I went to Canada today and I did a fake accent to make people believe I was from Finland because I am so embarrassed about our so called honorable USA Marines killing innocent people. I am so ashamed to be an American.

i am ashamed that you would abandon your country.  you can stay in Canada.  we dont want people like you here.  hey, 3000+ American civilians were killed just a few years back, dont ya remember?

A homonym is a word that has the same pronunciation or spelling (or both) as another word, but a different meaning.\nHomonyms can be subdivided into:\n\n    * Homophones: words that are pronounced the same (and may or may not be spelt the same), but differ in meaning, such as waste and waist.\n    * Homographs: words that are spelled the same (and may or may not be pronounced the same), but differ in meaning, such as desert (abandon) and desert (arid region).\n\nHomonyms that are spelt and pronounced the same – such as mean (intend) and mean (average) – are both homophones and homographs. Examples of homophones are waste and waist, pear and pair, wear and ware, tear and tier and bear and bare.

Dear Min wu,\nYour pertinent question and urgent curiosity has unfortunately, been buried under more legitimate concerns. If you don't get an answer within 24 hours, it is best to delete your query and ask again.\nMin wu, I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal opinion. You have been foolish, Min wu. Very, very foolish. Anyone can see that the purpose of Yahoo! Answers is to serve as a modern chatroom. More and more, Java programming is becoming less and less supported, there is no other method of bringing people together in a social environment than to create PHP scripts where the "thinking" can be done on the server rather than on your machine. With that in mind, Min wu, you should interrogate the shallow-minded participants of Yahoo! Answers with matters that appeal to their common denominator. Questions such as, "How long is the normal tally whacker?" or, "My boyfriend says I should dump my hubby, what you think?"..., would get you a substantial number of replies.\nGive up your pursuit of truth and petty wonders, Min wu. Quit asking bland, colorless questions. Are you naive? No person who is capable of giving you the answer you hoped for can last while reading though a heap of puddings, pies and pastry. I'm only doing you a favor, Min wu, by giving you a proper admonishment you can now begin to formulate an apology. When you are ready, send your atonement to http://surveys.yahoo.com/user_ad_feedback \nAnd Min wu, if you insist upon asking serious questions, remember that a few good jolts from a peace officer's tazor should bring you around to your senses. Please, check your spelling and throw some slang into the mix so you don't offend any of the egos lurking, waiting to pounce on you with crass, thoughtless one-liners.\n\nThank you Min wu, and have a great day!\n-Kenny


I am living in Bamako, Mali and would like to give birth in my home country of Sweden.  I have 30 working days maternity leave and would like to leave as many of them as possible for after the baby is born.  I need to know how late in the pregnancy Air France will allow people to travel.  Thanks.

See your doctor thats the best you can do..he/she will advise you whether you can fly or not.\nGood Luck with the birth..


some people said that the virus does not live longer than 10 minutes when exposed to the atmosphere.does this mean that an infected blade used 20 minutes after it was affected pose no threat to someone.

I'm really not sure. You would have to cut yourself first for you to be exposed to the virus. Do you have a razor that has been infected with the HIV or AIDS virus? if you do why? And How? (if you do i strongly suggest you don't shave with it). If you don't then I'm happy for you.


My BF of 4 1/2 years broke up with me a week ago, he told me he loves me, but he doesn't want to be in a relationship.  We have always talked about getting married.  I saw him Friday because I went to pick up some of my stuff from his house, and we talked some more, and he said that he would keep in touch, and that he would call me if he changed his mind.  I just feel like this is all wrong and I feel like we are supposed to be together.  I want to know if I should call him and talk to him, or if I should leave it alone.  I know he is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. I just feel lost and confused without him.  Please help me.

I can completely understand the hurt you must feel because it is hard to be with someone that long and then suddenly all of your dreams are shattered when they decide that they need some space. No matter what, you have to face the fact that you are going to hurt for a little while but please know that it gets better with time.  It's better for your ex to decide that he needs space now than to wait until you are married to decide this.  My best advice for you is to not crowd him.  Give him the space he needs but don't completely disappear from his life.  You know the saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder and that if it is meant to be then it will be.  In the meantime, occupy your time so that you aren't thinking about this constantly and you will start to feel better.  I wish you lots of luck and I hope that he comes back to you.

I found that a company somehow found professional images from my wedding online and has them on their Web site for promotional use.  I have never dealt with this company, nor did I ever give them permission to use MY likeness.  I contacted my photographer, but he said that he absolutely did not give them permission to use the photos.\n\nWhat legal recourse do I (we) have, if any?  I don't have the money to pay for an attorney.

It is a violation of your right to publicity and the copyright in the photos.\nThe facts given are not sufficient to show whether you or the photographer own the  copyright, but as both of you have violated rights, it doesn't matter at this point.\n\nI would look for an attorney who has experience in entertainment law if there are any in your area, if not I'd look for someone with experience in copyright litigation, if you don't find someone in that category, look for an attorney who does personal injury and negligence actions, but avoid those who only do auto accidents; you want someone who can think more out of the box.\n\nInterview several attorneys.  Interview them with the photographer if possible.  Ask whether the attorney would be willing to take the case on a contingency fee basis, that is he/she gets a percentage of the settlement or judgment.  You may be asked to put up some money for court costs, such as filing fees, depositions, and expert witnesses.  \n\nOn the facts as given, I have no idea what a reasonable settlement might be.  Copyright infringement has statutory penalties when one can not show actual damages.  The right of publicity is harder to pin down.  It could be anything from what the infringers would have paid a model to pose, to whatever a jury feels like.\nGood luck.


What are the pros and cons of E85 and why aren't we using it know. What about Hydorgen?

the pros are that it is a renewable resource, the downside is that the mileage is lower than using gas. i have no idea why it isn't in larger use now, even though the mpg is lower, it would result in energy independence if there was widespread use of ethanol.

Me and my husband was totally freaking out when we found out his ex was invited, even tho the graduate is her son too. we spoke with hubby's mom about this and she said we could come later. I feel my husbands son's mother should have her own dinner and not come to my husbands family dinner. what do u think? p.s. ex is on med's for mental condition but is sure to act up seeing her ex with his new wife!!

Your Mother-in-Law sounds pretty tactless,surely her own common sense should have told her that this was NOT a very clever thing to do.As for saying her own son could come 'later',well that's totally out of order,her son should come first.I wholeheartedly agree with you in that the ex could have had her own celebration meal with her son and declined the invitation.If my Mother put me in that position I would be far from happy and tell her so.I would NOT attend the meal,explain it to the son and arrange to take him out for a celebratory meal.\nThe Mother-in-Law needs kicking into touch,is she close to her ex-daughter-in-law?Does she have a problem with you?Whatever this womans logic,which seems to be non existent,your husband need to address the problem and explain,in no uncertain terms that,you and he are a couple now and if she cant respect yours and his feelings then to maybe distance yourselves until she comes to her senses.


I found it to be really boring now and i cant watch it.

You are so not the only one.  I mean what the hell is that light supposed to be when the magnet gets strong?  The others have whispering powers?  And are masters with the blow gun?  Now was that Desmonds ex playin the lady connected to the ominous yellow phone?  Is this show really about her snow globe controlled universe?  I could continue asking ?'s because that's all this show gives you.


Do you think we should have left a man in power in a country where he gassed to death over 30,000 of his countrymen?  Why do your 'liberal ideals' not include saving the kurdish children from being tortured, raped, and murdered as they try to grow up?\n\n***THE GUIDELINES***\n \nUnacceptable answers:\n\n1. "well, why aren't we in africa (or somewhere else)"\n   This answer is unacceptable because you are saying that if we are not stopping evil everywhere, we should just let it go.\n\n2.  "That is not the reason we went there".\n     This answer is unacceptable because your 'liberal ideals' should not care about anything other than saving the innocent lives against genocide from its leader.\n\n3.  "Bush is killing more people than saddam"\n     This is an unacceptable response because it is ludicrous.  The majority of the Iraqi people are fighting for their freedom against a murderous regime.  A countless number of lives, of countless future generations are being saved.

I came to the point where I truly believe that all parties of the government are corrupt a long time ago. It is really sad. The Progressives forget everything that Clinton did (Waco, and-God forbid-blow jobs) and The Conservatives forget everything Reagan did (Iran/Contra, etc) And we could come up w/ examples from EVERY President, ever. I wish we could get some patriots in the legislature who want to work together towards a common cause:the betterment of the United States Of America. Imagine what we could accomplish if we worked together!\nWhat I am saying is that instead of spending all our time telling each other how wrong they are, maybe we could come together and really compromise for the betterment of all?


I have to write an essay on this tomorrow.  Please help me!!!!!!!!!

They didn't do a lot except give the blacks the right to vote, made them citizens and something else I don't know.\nIf I was you I will say that it didn't unify the culture using the following:\n1 The southerners had literacy tests and etc to keep black from voting. \n2 most of the blacks thus ended up becoming sharecroppers under white elites. See so no unification. \n3 Separate but equal segregation later on completely destroyed the meaning of these amendments by going around them and making blacks less equal. \nHope that helps.

His tapes are excellent propaganda support to the US administration - justification for the war and also help rally Americans around president Bush.

Alive and well - probably\nBut if he was under the US govt's pay, why would the government make fake tapes?\nHas anyone even heard of BinLaden going against America before 9/11? America helped him drive out the Soviets and establish Taliban. Then they kicked him out. Same with Iraq. Anyone thought he could be another one of Bush's use and throw victims? Like Saddam Hussein? Those fake tapes are the biggest 'evidence' they have of Bin Laden attacking America.


Yeah, we all know he is a dictator. Yes, I know it's a communist country. Yes, most of the country is living in the 50's with very basic neccessities for life. Yes, it's a hard life. There are still worse places to live, or die. They don't have genocide, famine, civil war, terrorists, etc. Honestly, if you really think about it, Cubans wouldn't be allowed to come here and stay IF it wasn't for Casto. So, without Castro, their wonderful lives here would NOT be possible. If their president was not communist, they would be in the same boat as the Haitians, where they are sent back when they come here. So, Castro is a good thing for those who  make it here to the USA? I wonder if the US government said that every cuban would have to go back to Cuba when Castro is gone, if they would be such complainers?

Many Cubans LOVE Castro\n\n"So,Castro is a good thing for those who make it here to the USA?"\n\nThose ^ Are The Ones That Hate Him, And He THREW Them Out Of Cuba (Allowed Them To Leave), Along With Every Criminal In His Jails

My gf of 1 1/2 yrs has a new freind at work.  For the last two months I have had to hear about him every day, they go to the gym together etc..  She says that she's devoted to me and not to worry, but it's all getting a little too close for me.  I wouldn't be bothered by him normaly (cause he's a guy) but my gf isn'e exactly a lesbian, or straight, I don't think she knows.  I'm the first woman she's been with, actualy, I'm the first relationship she's ever had.  I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or if I should worry?!\n\nThere are more details here too, but I didn't want to babble for ever, message me if you want to know more.

I actually know what you mean.  At one of my gf's parties i was having fun just talking to this guy and my gf saw that and gave me this look like what the hell are you doing.  She is my first gf too and I haven't really been with anyone else, so I can understand what you must be feeling or fearing might happen.  My gf made it real clear that she was a little disturbed by what she was seeing and after that I realized how much it bothered her and now I am more aware of what I can and can't do.  With us it is kind of a little game though. She has done the same thing to me.  She will look at other girls and make comments just to see my reaction.  It is kinda funny that she is worried about me however, because she happens to be bi while I find myself more straight up gay.  I should really be more afraid of her time alone with a guy she finds attractive.  Perhaps what your gf is going through is similar.  Maybe she knows it bothers you or maybe she is just not sure how much it bothers you. I would definetely talk to her.  Communication is always the best way to treat little problems like these.  Be honest yet compassionate and not too firm with her.  It just seems that the trust between the two of you needs to be strengthened.  Number one thing.  Be brutally honest!  It tends to work out more than not.

i play handball almost everyday but the thing i cant stop playin handball because i am in a handball team in school... so how can i gain 15 pounds with out just eating a lot of junk food

HOW TO GAIN WEIGHT HEALTHFULLY \n\n1. Eat consistently. Every day, have three hearty meals plus one to three additional snacks. Do NOT skip meals! You'll miss out on important calories that you need to accomplish your goals.\n\n2. Eat larger than normal portions. Instead of having one sandwich for lunch, have two. Eat three potatoes at dinner, instead of only two. Have a taller glass of milk, bigger bowl of cereal, larger piece of fruit. \n\n3. Select higher calorie foods. Read food labels to determine which foods have more calories than an equally enjoyable counterpart. \n\n4. Drink lots of juice and milk. Beverages are a simple way to increase your caloric intake, quench your thirst with calorie.\nHowever, remember that drinking water is important too as it gives you the energy to gain weight.\n\n 5. Do strengthening exercises (weight lifting, push-ups) to stimulate muscular development so that you bulk-up instead of fatten up. Some underweight people are afraid exercise will result in weight loss rather than weight gain. If that is your case, remember that exercise tends to stimulate the appetite; you will want to eat more. (Yes, exercise may temporarily "kill" your appetite right after a hard workout, but within a few hours, you will get hungry.) Exercise also increases thirst; you will easily be able to drink extra juices.\n\n\n6. (extremely important!)  Stay away from bad fat! Even though weight gain is your goal, you do not want to be gaining fat and eating junk. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein, low (saturated) fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey,  rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables, nuts.\n\nGOOD LUCK\nHaya


Love. \n Two people can love each other without the marriage contract. \nVowing that you have the faith and committment. \n You can make that vow without the marriage contract. \n\nMaking it harder to abandon someone during the hard times. \nThat's only a benefit to a woman because women get preferential treatment in divorce court. \n\nHealth insurance. \n Minor benefit. If both people are working, it's a non-issue. And the marriage penalty in taxes offsets this benefit. \n\nChildren are overrated.For every precious moment where the little brat does something special, there are 1,000 moments where they drive you crazy.The truth is a large percentage of parents HATE being parents. They will never say it out loud and they can't even admit that to themselves because "only an evil demon" would come to that conclusion, they think.

For me the real benefit of marrying is knowing that no matter how old you become and how you're life will be, there will be someone out there who will be with you and that will be your better half.


About 80 percent of the black toe problems are best treated by ignoring them. The damaged part of the nail is gradually pushed out, and the foot slowly returns to normal. If at any point you see the redness associated with infection, see a doctor. \nRN..over 20 years


1) Bios cell is workin fine!\n\n2) power supply is alright

It could be due to any number of reasons. Try and narrow the problem down.\nIs it when you are running a particular application? \nHave your recently installed a new applications or hardware?\nIs it at a particular time of day? \n\nIs the CPU overheating?\nIs the RAM OK?\nLoose connector somewhere?\n\n\nHope that helps some :)


When right now in Iraq there are hundreds of non U.S citizens who enlisted in the military to fight and die for the privilege of becoming a U.S citizen. Does giving the citizenship away for free to illegals seem fair to them?

Illegal immigrants who love America should go home and come back legally.  Those who hate America should just go home.\n\nResident aliens who have enlisted to fight for this country DESERVE the citizenship that was promised them at the conclusion of their service to this country.


I am 25 yr old and had a nice girl friend. My girl friend lives with her mom,who is divorced since last 5 yrs.\nHer mom is a nice doctor and has agreed to our relation.\nBut in last 2 weeks she has tried to seduce me when I was alone.I eventually lost my control and made love with her.Now I am in great tension about my girl friend as I don't want to leave her while her mom is really hot.

well if mom is already aware of scene then ask her to clear the confusion before taking her to bed.


in the fluidization experiment using a fluidizer, we have to record the bed height, at high flowrates,the movement of the solid particle gets very random and it is very difficult to get a accurate reading, is there any way to improve this?

Lower temperatures might stabilize the bed. A broader surface of measuring probe (perhaps spring actuated?) might get a more average reading of bed height. It might be a little unphesiable currently, but lazer telemetry might solve your problem entirely.


What are the things that make it enjoyable for YOU...the audience?

I've played acoustic and sang for people before.\n\nTake these hints (some are for if you are singing as well):\n- speak understandably. Enunciation can only do you good. I have a naturally raspy and slurry singing voice, and I have to enunciate, or no one can tell what I'm saying. At acoustic shows especially, they're going to want to understand you.\n- get a good acoustic guitar. Some acoustics sound a lot better than others. Make sure yours is good.\n- make sure you know what you're doing. Messing up sucks. People can hear it easier (and it messes it up a lot more) on acoustic.\n- try to keep the "scratching" and "squeaks" that the guitar can make while moving your fingers to a minimum. Sometimes they even contribute to the sound, but too much or too loud can really hurt your performance.\n\nGood luck!

Coriolis effect, the apparent acceleration of a moving body on or near the Earth as a result of the Earth's rotation. An object at the Earth's surface moves faster at the equator--because it is moving through a 25,000-mile (40,000-kilometer) circle in 24 hours--than it does away from the equator, where it travels in a smaller circle in the same 24-hour period. The Coriolis Effect alters the paths of projectiles on Earth. Everything from jets to ships to bowling balls are affected by it.

I seem to spend 75% of my time on the computer just getting rid of viruses.I am totally getting to the stage of thinking stuff the internet and stuff the whole computer thing.Does anybody know an antivirus(please don't suggest norton)that will just fix it automaticaly without all this messing about?PLEASE somebody help before I go insane!

Layered protection is the most secure; you use several different programs from different companies rather then a suite (eg Norton or MacAffee); this is because each company uses its own engine for its software. Once a hacker has cracked the engine they are through all your security.\nYou need to have different software programs to deal with different types of malware. Anti virus programs won't deal with trojans or spy ware.\n\nBut bottom line is, it doesn't matter how many security programs you run if you bypass them and download a virus straight to your hard drive.\nNever access the internet from the administrators account, use a limited account. You can't install software from a ltd account so you download to the desktop, Right click on the file and scan it with your anti virus, your anti trojan and your anti adware and spyware.\nIf it comes up clean you drop it into the My Docs folder, which you can access from the administrators account.\n\nMicrosoft have two free online scanners that look for malware.\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx\n\nYou can also download Microsoft's free Windows Defender from the official Microsoft site.\n\nEither of these firewalls are free for personal use and stop unwanted incoming and outgoing traffic. You choose which programs are allowed to access the internet. They are both fairly easy to use and updated regularly.\nZone Alarm firewall\nwww.zonelabs.com\n\nKerio firewall\nhttp://www.kerio.com\n\nWinpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.\nwww.winpatrol.com\n\nSpywareblaster works with Internet Explorer.

my bff has a boy friend and they both are really desperate and dont like eachother or know anything about eachother, and all of us keep telling her to brake up w/ him. but she wont listen to us. and he is with us most of the school day nad he breaks lots of girls hearts, but my bff wont listne to us. and now she is mad at me for trying to help her. :( wat do i do now?

Allow her to live and learn. As hard as it may be for you to see your best friend in a relationship with a guy of whom has happened to break a lot of girls hearts, you need to accept her decision of being in this relationship. We all want to protect our friends or anyone that we care about, from being in hurtful situations but we can’t always protect them. There are times as painful as it may be, that we have to allow them to make mistakes, to go into a situation head-first and simply be there for them to pick up the pieces, if and when it ends badly. As Octavia Butler once said, “Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny, and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over”.


Sometimes when I'm asleep I will suddenly lash out in a wild and violent fashion. If someone is sleeping next to me, I'll punch them (inadvertantly). I'll throw my bed side drawers to the ground, and generally break anything in the immediate vicinity of my bed, while I'm completely asleep and unconscious of what I'm doing.  I'll also holler sporadicly.  \n\nNow, I'm not normally an angry person - I don't make a concerted effort to suppress feelings of anger, I just don't normally feel them. I am a highly vivacious, energetic person, but not angry or violent. \n\nI can't remember if this behaviour is a vivid 'playing-out' of a dream, I can't remember anything about the experiences, I'll just wake up from either the resulting noise( for instance, the drawers, after they hit the ground) or the next morning to face the damage I have caused while I've been completely unconscioous. \n\nWhat is happening to me in my sleep?

First, you need to consult a doctor about this, he may help you with some tablets for sleep and for relaxing your brain, because when we sleep a part of our brain is "dead" but the other part is active (we breath even when we sleep, isn't?) and that might make your body move! I hope that I could help you, because I have the same problems, since two weeks, I cannot sleep properly, but I am not damaging anything in my room!\nBefore going to sleep, I take a glass of milk and little bit honey, that helps me a lot!


why does al quaida kill muslims(shia vs sunni) and blow their mosques in Iraq.\npls no stupid conspiracy teories that the west and america r doing it

the tradition of muslims killing muslims is as old as islam itself


My...anonymous friend...is extremely fit but doesn't last too long before blowing his protein. Any advice? \n\nPS, he has had the same girlfriend for nearly two years\n\nMy...anonymous friend...thanks you!

To start with, make the foreplay last as long as possible. Keep your partner on the brink as long as you can before going in for full sex.\n\nWhen you're having sex, there are two options:\n1. Take your time, and pull out if you feel the moment approaching. Take a few moments to lose the urge to spurt, and use your fingers, or mouth or whatever until you go back in for more. Do this time and time again, and eventually your body will get used to taking longer.\n2. Think about your grandad's sweaty feet and bunions.\n\nEither way, you'll last a lot longer.


By "fix it", I mean, sew it back onto the hole at the end of the metal.\n\nI find myself replacing umbrellas due to this problem every 9-15 months.

Sadly, "they don't make 'em like they used to". If you are fond of your umbrella, then by all means try a repair. You can, if you like, weigh the cost of your time repairing it (10 - 15 mins?) against the cost of a new one - maybe an hour's worth on minimum wage.

i'm 20 yrs old, 5'6", have a waist of 28.5 and hips of 34inches. i wear a size 8 pants. i want to tone my arms more and get a flatter (6-pack) abs. you can sometimes see my triceps so my arms arent that flabby. but my waist, after i eat meals it can start to look bulgey looking. how can i make it tighter and get a 6-pack? plus, i have love handles, how can i get rid of those?

The best part of exercise is cardio, you want to get out and walk or run to burn fat, I would also suggest getting down and doing at lest 15 push-ups a day and gradually build yourself up to do more. The Flutter kick is also good for your abs(laying on your back with feet 3 inches off the floor and kicking your legs up and down with your neck slightly off the floor). Water consumption is important also. Don't eat after 7:00 p.m and stay stress free and you will be alright.


Heck no Jenny. We play Soccer, Rugby Union, AFL and Rugby League. Our game is so physical. No mountainous padding just raw contact and skill. It requires an enormous amount of fitness.

It would be so hard to explain all the games to you so here are some links that you can check out and they will give you all the information you need. People out here are so passionate about our football games. It's rough n tumble. \n\nSooo go THE PANTHERS....GO THE SWANS...N GO THE WARATAHS\n\nAFL\nhttp://afl.com.au/\nLeague\nhttp://www.nrl.com.au/\nUnion\nhttp://rugby-union-world.com\n\nHope they help you a little to get to know our great games.


ok i met a guy at a party and we were talking and stuff, and he said that he is moving to egypt,(i speak arabic) so we started talking about it and stuff. well its been about 2 weeks since the party and im thinking of sending an email of something i found online of how to speak arabic easily. if u were him what would u think of that(me sending u an email of how to learn the language) sweet?? or wierd??

I would think it was sweet. In order to send him that program, go back to where you saw it, and copy the link in your address bar. Then, go to your email account and write your email. When you reach the stage where you want to tell him where to get the program, right click and paste. It should look something like this  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AkleoAENGgqFpqWwuEp8xykezKIX?link=answer&.crumb=FOFDt1J%2Fywb&qid=1006052653163&.done=http%253A%252F%252Fanswers.yahoo.com%252Fquestion%252Findex%253Fqid%253D1006052653163  Which is this page here. So, that will take him right to it, and he can download it himself. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you!!

I heard the song recently, and told my daughter that I thought it was the main song from a movie I had seen years ago, but can't remember! I hope someone out there can help!

Frizell and West sang this and it on there country duet songs 1980-1984 record. But it has been sung by Various other artist since then. It was also part of the Theme music To a Clint Eastwood film any which way you can.


And have they been brainwashed by liberal college instructors? Should we vote against these morons every chance we get?

Because in their mind every death is a little more validation that their opinion was right.  And these sick people would rather be right than achieve a rebuilt Iraq.\n\nThey say that they "support the troops".  But they dont.  Their real message is at best: "We want you to come home safely, but we don't want you to accomplish anything over there" - thats not support.\n\nIf the troops have victory, they see Bush as having victory... but the bigger picture is that a FREE Iraq with a stable government is a victory for the Iraqi people and the entire world.\n\n>insert bushlied;oil;oilbuddies;wmds; halliburton;etc.. here.\n\nand ignore the dozen reasons listed in the iraq war resolution that passed 77-23.

I asked just yesterday how I could get rid of friends I wasn't interested in anymore without hurting them and today one started an argument with me and I just hung up the phone and I'm sure neither one of us wants to be the first to apologize so there it is. The end. Couldn't have been easier.

Well, God works in mysterious ways.  Ask and you shall receive. That doesn't mean it is necessarily your way, but sometimes it is.  How sweet.  Sounds like it worked out for you.  Now move on and make some good friends that you want to be around.


If a single person hooks up with someone who is married and claims the marriage is over (though not legally).  Who is the bad person here?

EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT.  It took me FIVE count them 5 years to get my divorce. If you know for a fact that the marriage is over (by meeting the ex or a child if they have one) AND you know the one you are seeing is living apart from their spouse then it is fine.  INVESTIGATE the person and make sure that they are telling you the truth.


Stupid, orange, air-head excuse for a female needs to get a real job instead of sponging off one of our greatest footballers.  Typical Mirror column statement:  "Maybe you cant afford the same £7,500 Louis Vitton handbag as ME, but never mind girls, YOU can get one like it for just £2.00 from Primark!!"  With all that money, wouldn't you think she could buy some class.


How can I progmmed a microcontrolled I.C.   like 89c51 with computer interface

you can use the Intel 8-bit assembly language, or C. You can probably find a free compiler for the assembly easily (if not, I think I still have it). For C, the compiler I recommend is Keil (www.keil.com). After that you need to load the software into the micro, or external RAM. Some support serial download through the serial port, but if not, you need a "burner" to load it.


U.S. Marines could face criminal charges, possibly including murder, for their involvement in the deaths of up to two dozen Iraqi civilians in Haditha last November, a defense official said on Friday. \n\n\n \nA criminal probe by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, which handles criminal inquiries involving Marines, has not been completed and no final decisions on charges have been made, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.\n\nThe Los Angeles Times reported that investigators were expected to call for charges including murder, negligent homicide, dereliction of duty and filing a false report.\n\nThe investigation involves a November 19 incident in Haditha, about 140 miles northwest of Baghdad. The military has said 15 civilians were killed, while a senior Republican lawmaker last week put the number at about 24. The Marines cause "shame" for the United States. We should blame this on War Supporters.

and whats the question...........trouble maker


This song is not to be confused with "Way Out There" although it sounds similar.  I don't know the vocalist's name, but I think it was originally recorded By Tanza Recordings on an old 78 rpm in the 1950's.

Probably www.limewire.com. I have no clue. But, that is the best source for music for free!! :-)


Framton Nuttel endeavored to say the correct something which should duly Hatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come.

its from open window by h h munro isn't it\nmeaning - nuttel being new to the place didn't know what to say to vera as she seemed so self composed a person and also as he had not met her aunt he knew of nothing to say or make conversation with (i think?!?)


What medical problems are expected frome someone who has spent 14 nights 1km underground in a 1.5m by 1.5m cage with another person?

Lack of oxygen, accumulation of coal dust in lungs and on mucus membranes, scratching of the cornea due to excess dust... theres a long list.


I do. Every time. I have no sympathy for them. It's not that hard to clean yourself up, shave and get a crappy job that pays nothing, to get you at least back on your feet in a month or so, barring that you are not a drug user. If they are, they dont deserve a dime. Other than that they are just plain lazy, and I will not reward them with free money. That teaches nothing, but dependency on free money, like panhandling and holding up those stupid signs looking all sad but I just drive on by. Please answer the question not this diatribe :)

Of course, am I supposed to give them money? This only teaches them a greater dependence on others. They need to get a job. There is nothing wrong with keeping it real, and telling them good advice. That advice will go alot longer than saying slipping them a buck or two. They probably use it on drugs or a 40 oz of alcohol. It's not my fault they got theirself in that position, so therefore it's not my responsibility to help them. They should help themselves. If they can't then oh well. That's natural selection. May the weak perish and the stronger survice. Welcome to humanity!


I was born into catholicism...and you may be right.I care not for religion.\nHere is a fact for you my furry little friend-I have f**ked many mothers in my life therfore I am officially called a MOTHERF***ER!!!!!!


In scientific terms, the main problem with my hypothesis is that \nA. it fails to explain the phrase body language\nB. it can't be disproved\nC. it may be false\nD. if it's proven, our knowledge of bacteria will be disproved

Definitely B. Any hypothesis by definition must be able to be tested and disproved.


For quite some time, there have been people overseas requesting special traits of Blonde and blue eyed Egg and Sperm genes  to make their "Perfect" baby, saying that Americans have it all, as one Koream Woman reported. Do you think we should mess with Genetics and procreation with human eggs and sperm? Why not?, We already do it with dogs and cats. We single out the traits that suck, and enhance the traits that are intelligent, attractive, and strong, athletic, loving, and healthier. There really is no difference with Human Genetic designing with creating your own child with solf eggs from a woman's ovaries and a men's Sperm from the testicals.

well i think its stupid cause the kids wont know their "biological" [parents and why would it be so perfect if its not their child and what would it do to the child  if they found out that they were put as an experiment


Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA has expressed interest in the 2016 Summer Olympics and the Games of the XXXI Olympiad. Philadelphia is international known for being the site of where the Declaration of Independence was signed and was the birthplace of the United States of America and where the Constitution of the United States of America was signed and Philadelphia was the second capital of the United States of America. Philadelphia is internationally known for the Philly Cheesesteaks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Temple University. Philadelphia has nine professional teams and sporting facilities including Lincoln Financial Field and the Wachovia Center. \n\nI think that Philadelphia has the potential to host a Summer Olympics, but not in 2016 if Chicago puts forth a bid for the games. I think that Philadelphia would be a good site for the Pan American Games and if the Pan American games were successful in Philadelphia, then I think Philadelphia have the potential to host the Olympic Games.

First of all God willingly seeing it as it's only 2006, and we never know when or how we will die. Nut to answer your question, if Philly gets their act together and help the city get rid of the crime, then we can talk about the Olympics.


What should I do?  I applied for a job April 21 at Forever 21.  They never called me until two weeks later, but said that they'd call me April 24, or along taht week.  They called me back May 8 wanting an interview.  I posted on here If I should go to the interview.  many dumb people said yes, so I went.  Only to regret it because the person who interviewed me sounded so unprofessional and immature.  Now, I called them back to ask if there was an update, because after the interview, they said they'd call me that night or today.  No calls, not even a return call.  Now, normally I'm not asking for trouble, but I just want to know if you guys agree with me that this is not right.

I commend you on being persistent with attempting to become hired with them. But, would you want to work for such an unorganized company? Would you be proud to say you worked for someone that treated potential employees that way. Find a company that will appreciate you for the responsible person that you are.

twinkle little star have the same tune as the alphabet?

Yes, it is the same tune.  Did you know that it was written by Mozart?\n\nMany years before the lyrics to "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" were written, children across France sang the words to "Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman" (K. 265), presented below, to a similar tune. Seventeen-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart used the melody in his piano variation. Pleasing, organized melodies such as this one have great value for children and adults alike. Music speaks in a language that children instinctively understand, and it helps mold a child's mental, emotional, social, and physical development. The original words below are not about stars, they are about a child's desire for candy! Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman, \nCe qui cause mon tourment? \nPapa veut que je raisonne, \nComme une grande personne; \nMoi, je dis que les bonbons \nValent mieux que la raison. \n\nAh! Let me tell you, Mother, \nWhat's the cause of my torment? \nPapa wants me to reason \nLike a grown-up. \nMe, I say that candy has \nGreater value than reason.


what are the long term  effects of MSG?and what exacly does it do to you?am in a country where they use it like salt and am a bit concerned..

MSG has no serious side effects uless you have an allergy to it. Kind of like a bee sting. According to Stephanie Brooks, a San Francisco Bay Area dietitian, MSG triggers an allergic reaction in 1 to 2% of the population. "People allergic to MSG can get burning sensations, chest and facial flushing, or pain and headaches from it," Brooks said. (webMD) Brooks warns that those suffering from high blood pressure, taking diuretics or certain antidepressant medications (MAO inhibitors), or suffering from congestive heart failure should avoid the high MSG content supplied by certain foods.\n\n\nHope that helped! My mom is allergic to MSG and she gets a rapid heartbeat, etc, so I know all about it.

Where and how should I bet on horse racing?  Also advice on betting strategy?

You should go to races and bet there at betting booths. The types of betting are usually described in the horse race brochure of that particular race. The simplest way of betting is to bet that your horse will come first ("win"), first or second ("place"), or first, second or third ("show"). There are more complicated types of betting (like trifecta) which have low odds of success and may be difficult for a beginner.\nAs for strategy, if you don't know anything about horses and cannot pick the best by just looking at them (few can!), you should look at the odds ratio displayed by the name of a horse before the race. The lowest odds (say, 20:1) means that the horse is unlikely to win, but if it does, your winnings will be the greatest. Vice versa, if odds are high (like 2:1), it means that the horse is very likely to win, but your winnings will be low. So the best and simplest strategy is to pick a horse somewhere in the middle (say 10:1): in this case, there is a good chance it can win and bring you decent winnings.


My opinion, if you both feel that strongly about moving across the country together, why are you not getting married first?  Marriage should come first, in my opinion.  I once moved south in the past to be nearer to a male boyfriend but I chose to live in my own home.  You will have to make your own choices.  Best wishes =)

I'm making a cd for a girlfriend who is going through some bad stuff, I'm thinking along the lines of india arie's video. but anything that really get's the message across that she is stong and she will be okay.

I'm A Survivor--Reba McEntire, I Believe I Can Fly, I'm Every Woman, I Am Woman Hear Me Roar\n\nAlso, Celtic (or Goddess worship) music is very uplifting and empowering to women especially.  You could look into that if you are interested.


PLEASE READ:\n\nI am NOT talking about the trials and tribulations that the soul must supposedly be subjected to in the Earthly body to prove it's wroth for the after/eternal life accounts and purposes, etc.\n\nInstead I am asking: If the soul is NOT material then how does it "stay within", and is "connected" to, my material body?    After all my soul is my soul, your soul is your soul and we each get to walk around with our own individual souls "somehow" attached to our bodies.

Souls are fictional, as far as we can tell.

What actually determines a person to be left or right handed?\nI have asked a psychologist this and tells me that psychologists have not found this out.\nSo if there are any boffins who may know this let me know.\nThank you

there is a part of the brain that deals with that activity, the hand we use to pick up stuff or write, and from what i was told (i am left-handed by the way!)it is the side that is located that determines if you will be left-handed or right-handed. Left-handed people are no less intelligent then right-handed people OK?


For instance, I'm developing a slide where parts of a table are removed using animation. Just in case someone wants to print a copy of this presentation, I'd like the print view to be set on the final display of the table with the information removed. Is that possible?

Yes, it is already will print the final display\n\nXLMan


mine is named giovanni.  he likes opera and ballet and smoking fine cuban cigars.


the shock has a car type valve for inflation?  Also while im on is there a special tool used to set up V brakes, i got some deore dx shimano brakes front and rear..they are red!! And give an opinion on the best off road tyres to use, i still got 1 onza porcupine for the front but its getting a little worn now!!  Cheers for the help, look for more mountain bike related questions in the future!!

You have a lot of questions here, as far as the brakes, normally all you need is metric allen wrench's. As far as the shock you should go to Fox website to get the info you need. You need to figure out your sag and your weight to make some of the adjustments. Then is the shock air or coil over. It it is coil over you may need a heavier or lighter spring out it may be just right.\nAs far as tires it depends on the type of riding that you will be doing. Will it be X/C, downhill or freeriding.\n\nwww.foxracingshox.com\n\nRight back with the type of riding that you will be doning.


Can someone help me with this reaction? \nThis was an experiment to oxidise ethenol but I can't remember if it produces ethenal or ethenoic acid?\nThe ingredients is:\nsodium dicromate\nuniversal indicator\n2-4-dinteropheylhydozyne\nethenol\nsulphuric acid\n\nCan anyone help?

After cracking my head up and down , i got the answer.\nAfter mixing well all the ingredients keep it cool for 10 minutes.Use a litmus paper to do the test.\nRefer to the THEORY OF MIXING if it produces ethenal, then damm sure enough it is not ethenoic acid.\nGlad to help.


If you thinkl about it, head hair grows longer and longer, but the rest of the body's hair just stays the same

Yes, hair on the rest of your body also grows.\n\nEach hair, no matter where it is on your body, head, leg, face or inside your ear, is programmed to grow to a certain length, then stop, live so long, and fall out. \n\nHow about facial hair? It obviously grows constantly, or guys would not have to shave it off all the time. Mustaches, beards and eyebrow hairs fall out when they reach maturity, and if you don't trim it, will grow to the same length each time before falling out. \n\nEach of your hundreds of thousands of hairs on your head are on rotating growth cycles, with about a 100 hairs falling off every day.\n\nEach one is on its own random cycle so you don't lose them all on one day. Your whole body works like that. \n\nToday, several million of your bloods cells died, and today the same amount were born. Everything dies and regenerates. Your stomach cells dissolve and are replaced every few days, bone cells take much longer. Every 7 years, there is not one cell in your body that is left from 7 years ago.\n\nSo every 7 years, you are totally new. That's why when someone asks how old I am, I always say 7 years old. \n\nWe are like a wave in the ocean...it is not a moving hunk of water in the shape of a wave moving as a unit from ocean to shore. It is a moving pattern, made of NEW water every few feet. The wave, like your body, just retains the pattern of you, not the specific stuff of which you are made.


This is specifically related to the Indian Film & Music Industry commonly known as 'Bollywood' where I have found a number of Hindi songs to be directly copied from their English versions produced in the USA. For example, the song 'Jhoom' seems to have the exact same tune as 'Love of my life' by Santana!! Is there any governing body that overlooks these things and can take appropriate action?

now if you are a reformer and want to change things file a case. go contact the person whose work is being plagiarized and persuade him to take some action.. when the music director concerned is not worried why are you stressing yourself.


If so, what are they?  \n\nFinally, how do they compare with AMD's offerings?

The Intel Itanium is the only 64-bit processor that Intel has on the market and it is only found in high-end server systems; not laptops.  Intel decided to begin using their Core Duo CPUs in laptops so that is the Intel product that you will see in laptops.  AMD's 64-bit CPUs are more likely to be found in laptop systems because they operate with lower power requirements than Intel processors.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with AMD CPUs.  In fact, many people believe they are superior to Intel.  However, it depends on the application software that is running.   Different types of programs rely on different operational aspects of the CPU so you have to further investage the performance evaluations to make sure you're getting a true picture of CPU performance.

every time the pilot of thunderbirs communicate with each other, they always say "FAB" instead of "Roger"

According to Gerry Anderson, the phrase FAB as used in the puppet show doesn't actually have a meaning and was just made up for the programme as something which sounded impressive and technical!\nQuote from Fanderson- official Gerry Anderson fan club:\n  "At the time of the series' production, the term 'fab' was in common usage as a shortened form of 'fabulous' which, of course, everything was in the Sixties. The phrase has enjoyed a resurgence in usage in recent years and 'F.A.B.' itself entered the English dictionary for the first time in 2002:\n\n    "'F.A.B. interjection British informal an expression of agreement to, or acknowledgement of, a command [from British television series, Thunderbirds]." - Collins Dictionary (2002) "\n My 5 year old son thinks saying FAB is great!!


So I was watching a message on TV earlier by a pastor I really like (Joel Osteen). His message was on how God chooses who His believers are before we are even born. What do you think??

This has no doubt been one issues that has caused the most confusion within the Church for a long time.\n\nThe problem with the quotes about pre-destination is a lack of exegetical study (critical analysis of the original languages.) Some translations are great but none are perfect.  Only in the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic can we be certain.  \n\nWhat is indicated to us is not that God Fore-Ordained who would and would not choose to follow Jesus.  Rather He Fore-Knew.  In Ephesians 1 we are told that before the foundations of the world He stored up for us every blessing that we would need.  Indicating that He looked through time and saw what would be needed not that he laid out our every step or decision.  \n\nHe desires that all would come to Jesus but He does not force anyone.  This doctrine of Pre-Destination flies in the face of that--of the very concept of Free Will.  \n\nIt is simply a matter of He has set a place at the table for all the people He knows are going to accept the invitation to the wedding feast--Marriage Supper of the Lamb.  For those who He knows are going to decline the invitation He does not set a place.


what is the best diet to go on to lose weight...

If you follow these tips you will lose weight.\nFirst of all your body can healthly lose only 2-4 lbs a week.

Muhammad did in fact own slaves (any muslim who lies otherwise is a liar, check yourself). According to Islam, everything Muhammad did is the excellent standard to follow for everyone, for all time.\n\nMuhammad also was a pedophile and genocidal warlord, so those actions can be justified and deemed "excellent" as well.\n\n"Allah's Apostle was on a journey and he had a BLACK SLAVE called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels" http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/073.sbt.html#008.073.182\n\n“I came and behold, Allah's Apostle was staying on a Mashroba (attic room) and a BLACK SLAVE of Allah's Apostle was at the top if its stairs.” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/091.sbt.html#009.091.368\n\n“…'Aisha further said, "Once the Prophet was screening me and I was watching the DISPLAY OF BLACK SLAVES IN THE MOSQUE and ('Umar) scolded them.” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/015.sbt.html#002.015.103\n\n“…so I went to the upper room where the PROPHET was and said to a BLACK SLAVE OF HIS…” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/015.sbt.html#002.015.103

I've tried loosening the large bolt that encircles the handlebar base; there's another circle below it with little teeth...should I go out and buy a larger wrench and loosen this?

The correct size allen wrench should loosen the stem. Sometimes after you loosen the bolt you have to tap on it with a hammer to loosen it from inside the tube. If you can't get it loose, just take it to a bike shop. They will have no problem straightening it for you and probably won't cost that much.

My little girl dad is in the military but we're not together. It's something that I wanted to do, even before I had my little girl. I just want to provide her with a bright future...

My response will be a little different form everyone elses.  As a current member of the Navy, I have to say that it is very difficult and strenuous on the family life.  I have a daughter, and I have to tell you, as much as I stay involved in her life, I have a hard time leaving her everytime Im with her.  Would it be beneficial for you to join.  Well in some aspects it is.  In a lot of aspects its not.  Let me elaborate.  The medical and dental benefits are great, the money is good in reguards to a steady income, but of course the pay could be more.  You can start a college fund for her through USAA.  But on the flip side of that, the military, especially the Navy is down sizing.  Which means for most service members, more frequent deployments with all the drama going on in the world.  Im  currently deployed to Kuwiat in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Although Im not in the direct line of fire, the risk is always there.  We took some mortar rounds when I first got here, but every since, things have been a little less stressful.  The Navy as whole, image is changing.  Actually that speaks for most services.  The branches are not seperated like they use to be.  All the forces are working as one joint force.  More and more Sailors are sent in to war zones in support of Army, Marines, and Airforce.  I joined the Navy to see the world, get money for college, go to college, gain technical, and real life expierence.  So far I have done just that.  But I also joined the Navy so I wouldn't be on the front line.  I figured I could accomplish this by joining the Navy, being on a ship, a good distance away from direct enemy fire, while still making a major contribution to the efforts.  There are a lot of things they you need to way your decision.  These people are right, your child should always come first.  I put my baby first in everything I do.  She is what keeps me going out here.  But again, being away from her is very hard.  I do everything in my power to be involved in her life, but I always feel like Im coming up short.  Her mother is very supportive of me, and her being prior military, she understands the difficulties of the military life.  If you have a supportive family that you trust will do the right thing by you and for your daughter, I would say look further into it.  I am available for more questions if you like.  I think you are a beautiful women and you will be successful in whatever you put your mind to.  Just make sure you do your homework before making a major decision like that one.  If you like, you can contact me at jayc_lark@yahoo.com...I hope to hear from you.


It is said that God created man in his image, so i figure man looks like God right?Then if he also created woman it is in my thinking that he must have had a prototype.

A: God is all, not just one sex.\n\nB: Lillith was created in God's image, Eve was created from Adam's rib.\n\nC: Those that created the Bible didn't want you asking questions like that.\n\nD: If this is just one universe in a higherarchy of multiverses, then: God could have got the prototype for woman from another universe with a female God.\n\nE: What part of man was created in God's inmage? The tangable, easily worn out body? Or, the eternal spirit?\n\nAnd if none of these thought do it for ya, please keep searching. The journey is as inportant as the destination.

My Relationship with my girlfriend is at its lowest. And I need to get myself out of this hole.

The two of you need to sit down and just talk! Stay positive and don't get defensive. Open up about your feelings and listen to her as she conveys hers.\nFrom there you both need to agree to make an effort to make things better! Continue to talk to each other, stay positive and help eachother in any way you can.\nIt will turn around for you. Good luck!

I'd unistall Picassa and after that, this shortcut appeared on my desktop. I want to delete it, but i'm afraid that will affect my computer.

%SystemDrive%\nThe %SystemDrive% variable is a special system-wide environment variable found on Microsoft Windows NT and its derivatives. Its value is the drive upon which the system folder was placed.\n\nThe value of %SystemDrive% is in most cases C:. The system drive cannot be altered once the operating system is running.\n\n\nyou can delete any shortcuts. Shortcuts is basically a copy of the executable program. It will have the path to where it can find the program. You can delete shortcuts without it affecting your computer or the program itself.


I just feel guilty when i try to do it. Any serious help?

Because it has been pounded into your head since you were wee tiny to a grasshopper by people over 40 and it has never stopped. The Catholic Church says it's wrong but then, they are all pedophiles so what do they know. Go ahead, knock yourself out!! Just don't do it in public, in front of anyone else or to kids and you will be fine. It isn't going to kill you and you will feel a lot better if you aren't getting any, uh, alternative relief at all or in the near future. Have fun!!

Try Zonealarm. There's a free version and a version that you have to pay for:\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com\n\nAlso, remeber that XP SP2 comes with a built in firewall. You can turn it on by using the Security Center in the Control Panel.\n\nHope this Helps!!


From what I hear, he's really being difficult. He won't run the offense through Ben, and he's going with zone defense instead of the usual man-to-man that suffocates opposing offenses. I also read he places more of an emphasis on offensive drills in practice than defensive ones.\n\nThe cherry on top is that he defiantly is sticking to his strategy, even though it is clearly NOT working! The Pistons are going down in flames because of this.\n\nReading what I have just wrote, does it seem likely Flip will be fired if this series ends tonight? It seems like Ben will go if he stays...he's really mad at him.

If his players continue to throw him under the bus, I don't think the ownership will have a choice.  Even if Ben Wallace signs elsewhere this summer, Rasheed doesn't fit Saunders' system very well, so he'll probably continue to whine and moan.


A bat came flying into his cave where all his\nmates were hanging around. He had blood all over\nhis face and this was noticed  by all. They were\ninsanely jealous as they had not eaten yet and\nproceeded to badger him as to where he'd been.\n\n"Leave me alone, I've had a bad night!" They, of\ncourse, were hungry and wouldn't give up.\n\nFinally, in desperation, he said: "OK, you want to\nknow where I've been, follow me."\n\nThey all flew out of the cave, down the valley,\nhalf way up the mountain and landed in a tree.\n\n"All right you guys, see that tree over there?"\n\nThey all nodded, eager to know more.\n"Good, because i didn't!".... o boy!

it made me think! finally got it! the bat did not saw the tree thats why he had bloods all over him!!

...and what exactly are you views on it? Are you for it, against it? And why do you feel the way you do? Do you think it is "just a bunch of coincidences", or do you think that this "code" is real? I'm very curious and interested in hearing ANY opinions people have about this topic.

Well I´ve read the book and enjoyed it throughly! But sad to say there is a lot of thingd in the book that is false, \nbut it does makes you wonder. \n\nWhat I can´t understand is that a few years ago there were some old scripures found, but wouldn´d be accepted by the church. These scriptures underwent all the neccassary test to prove its validity(and it was found to be written the time Jesus was alive and 100 after he died).But it was a little bit contridicting to what is in the bible.\n\nAnyway what the da vinci code does is start to put doubt in the minds of people, and why did  the church reacted so strange to this book which is a novel! \n\nAnd okay the thought that Jesus actually has a living heir is strange, but Dan Brown was not the first to write about this there are many other listed books. And ´if´ that were true then the church would clear not want that knowledge to be known because it would loss a lot of credibility.\nSome modern writers,including Dan Brown, have come forward with claims that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus. These writers cite Gnostic writings to support their argument. Sources like the ´Gospel of Philip´ do depict Mary Magdalene as being closer to Jesus than any other disciple. \nHowever, there is no known ancient document that claims she was his wife and Gnosticism was generally non-supportive of sexuality. The closeness described in these writings depicts Mary Magdalene, representing the Gnostics, as understanding Jesus and his teaching while the other disciples, representing the Church, did not.\nMary Magdalene appears with more frequency than other women in the canonical Gospels and is shown as being a close follower of Jesus. Mary's presence at the Crucifixion and Jesus's tomb, while hardly conclusive, is at least consonant with the role of grieving wife and widow, although if that were the case Jesus might have been expected to make provision for her care as well as for his mother Mary. Given the lack of contemporary documentation, this scenario cannot be proven, and although some consider the idea desirable to believe, most scholars do not take it seriously.\n\nAn argument for support of the married status of Jesus is that bachelorhood was very rare for Jewish males of Jesus' time, being generally regarded as a transgression of the first mitzvah (divine commandment) — "Be fruitful and multiply". According to this reasoning, it would have been unthinkable for an adult, unmarried Jew to travel about teaching as a rabbi.\nA counter-argument to this is that the Judaism of Jesus' time was very diverse and the role of the rabbi was not yet well defined. It was really not until after the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in A.D. 70 that Rabbinic Judaism became dominant and the role of the rabbi made uniform in Jewish communities.\nPaul of Tarsus was an example of an unmarried itinerant teacher among Christians. Jesus himself approved of voluntary celibacy for religious reasons and explicitly rejected a duty to marry: "There are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it." (Matthew 19,12)\n\nThe idea that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus was popularized by books like the pseudo-historical Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982) and The Da Vinci Code (2003), a novel heavily influenced by the former book. These assertions have found no acceptance from scholarly circles.\n\nAnd secret societcy are meant to be kept secret so I don´t expect the historians to find a lot of concrete information about the Priory of Sion. \n\nAnd maybe Leonardo did discover something and instead of just saying or exposing it out right he decided to be clever and hide it within his works of art. After all he was known as a genuis.\n\nSo I(am born and raised catholic, but was taught to have an open mind about things.) personally an very intrigued by this idea of Dan Browns, but I am neither for it nor against it.

Daedalus was a famous and ingenious Athenian architect, and was hired by the Cretan king Minoas, to design the Labyrinth for him, where he would cage his beast, Minotaurus. Daedalus went to Crete with his Son Icarus, made a design for Minoas, and when the building was finished, Minoas was  so impressed that he locked them inside the labyrinth (and not a tower), so that noone else could have Daedalus design something for them...\nHowever, Daedalus was so smart, that He thought of a plan to escape: He asked for some wax in order to fix something for the king, which he used to make wings. The labyrinth didn't have a roof, so they actually flew away. Icarus got so excited, that he flew too high, despite his father's warnings, and his wax wings melted, and he fell in the Aegean and drowned. The wave dragged his body on an island, which was named, and still is named Icaria.\n\n\nEnd of Story!!

I'm in Australia so the ones i know probably wont be relevent to you in India.  \n\nJust do a web search and find a careers page and that should give you the information u need.  You could always check on a University in India's website and that will also tell u the information u want to find out.  Goodluck!


No physcist has ever "seen" an electron. yet, all of them believe in the existence of electrons. Then, why is it not that many believe that ghosts exist even though no one has "seen" one?

One time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."
