I want to get tanned for June, when I have my wedding, I don't use to go to the solarium saloon , and I want to protect my skin, therefore I intend to stay only 5 minutes per session, 2 or 3 days a week. Should I start going? And should I use a protection cream?

You should start now. Only 2 times a week for 5 min or so. Doing this at a slower pace will give you a much better tan then to try to get it done in 2 month. As for the cream Some say yes some say no. But only being in for 5 min or so you dont really need to use it, Although you can use certain creams to get the correct tan that you want to have for your wedding..\nGoodluck and Congrats on your wedding


I seen this during the Quals of the women's team pursuit. Was curious to know what that means.

In pursuit, two teams start on the opposite sides of the track and "pursue" each other. You can win your heat by either having a better time over the designated distance, or by catching the other team.\n\nIf you catch the other team, you are 1/2 lap ahead of them so they just end it. Sort of like a slaughter rule in softball.\n\nIf you're get bold, you can go out way too fast early in hopes of catching the other team. If you fail, you end up getting killed by your opponents when you crash and burn later in the race.


call irs and have them put a stop to it, tell them what happen if this person file then they will have a address to where the check is going to go. good luck.


Points will go the one I feel has best supported their choice.

Coppola.  There's never been a better war movie ever.  Period.  Period.  End of story.  Kubrick's a distant second.  But that's it for Coppola.  Spielberg has all sorts of hits though.......Close Encounters, ET, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Arc, and even recently with Catch me if you Can.....overall Spielberg has grossed much more, but with and epic like Apocalypse Now?  You can't touch Coppola.\n\nAdded: you want to compare 10 minutes of Private Ryan in Slow Motion (where everyone gives up when a few planes fly over)?  Against Brando handing Sheen the keys to the kingdom to a tune of the Doors playing "This is the end"? Seriously?  It's a quality versus quantity issue.


i am so stressed out that i would like a song to listen to. i also have a school project that involves this topic. so please answer soon

I know it sounds kinda cheesy but try Enya.  She uses her voice as an instrument, as well as a way to vocalize her lyrics.  She does lots of layering, which makes her voice sound like a instrument, which is a lot more soothing.


Nirvana, Alanis, Clapton was good too\n\nI like some of the new ones also. The Dashboard Confessional one was great!


I want to key two radios  but not necessarilly at the same time.  Also perhaps using two soundboards, Is this possible and how?  I use win  98se.. for ham radio.

you can use them seperately for sure. at the same time...depends on how many serial 'ports' the card defines.\nIf two ports, then you are golden !  If only one port, you would have to un plug, and connect/or remove the adapter and plug back in.  If you ever plan to use same time, ensure that they are assigned different IRQ's.


there are many things i could be besides becoming a basketball but i thought that the only reason why i choose this is because i wanted to follow my heart which i think was a very good decision but once and a while that guestion pops back into my head i need some answers can you help

When I was in high school, several of the best players on the varsity teams were short. My sister was one of them - she's only 5 ft 1 inch tall and she was a great player. Some of the other short players were notable for their speed and three point shots. \n\nIf I get a vote, I'd say go for it, but have a back-up plan. It's awful tough to make it as a pro-athlete, and whether or not you do, you'll still have to eat! (If you're wondering how to come up with a back-up plan, I'll tell this - the people I know who are most happy are the ones who are doing something they enjoy. Develop hobbies you love - you'll be suprised at how often they can turn into careers!)


i hang wit mostly bois and they be talkin bout how thick some hoe is wut does that really mean

either they are saying she is stupid, or a bit chunky, not fat just plump.


There are so many ways to be spiritual and moral without religion. Now that we have the freedom to chose not to be religious is religion necessary? Spirituality was here before religion. In my humble opinion religion helps some of us to understand spirituality...which is why you can have spirituality without religion but you can't have religion\nwithout spirituality! Before a child can understand the word "god" or "christ" or "mohammad" he can to understand the psychological events in his life that make him feel at peace, beautiful, and spiritual. \n\nYes conventional religion has gotten us this far in civilization with scriptures about ethics and sins but do you think we have outgrown many of the concepts of heaven and hell instulled in our daily lives in order to scare us into doing the right thing? As history has shown it isn't working as well as people claim so isn't it time for a new culture adjustment?

I think religion is a way for people to support each other in feeling spiritual and making correct moral decisions. Some people won't make good decisions on spirituality alone, and for those people, having other people around them helps.\n\nEDIT FOR ADDTNL INFO:\nWhy is anything neccessary? Why are homes neccessary? Why don't people just live at work? Eat grass? Because we as humans desire more, a more personal experience, a more organized approach. You don't get people at your community center sharing uplifting stories about standing up for what is right.


...rather than have them privately owned and operated?\n\nWould this not ensure that the government is doing everything on our homeland to protect our borders?

No. I think the government is stretched thin. I think that it would a good idea to have the ports privately owed. \n\nHmmm..... I think our national security should be a top priority. Obviously, we don't want all our ports owed by a country in a volatile region. I guess I would say no. Our ports should be controlled by US companies, with a lot of experience in security. Obviously, we respect Dubai but we need to be careful on who owns our ports.

Why is Texas only ranked 3rd?\nHow did USC still get to be 1st?\nHow did Dave Weinstedt manage a top 10 recruiting class?\nWhy is West Virginia ranked 56?\n\nDidn't these prospects watch the bowl games?

1. Texas has 25 commitments - 2 - 5 star, 11 - 4 star, & 12 - 3 star players\n\n2. USC has 25 commitments - 5 - 5 star, 14 - 4 star, & 6 - 3 star players\n\n3.  Wienstedt must have said the right things & given out alot of scholarships.\n\n4.  West Virginia has 16 commitments - 10 - 3 star players.\n\nI don't know how faith i would put in these predictions.  Last year Tennessee & Iowa were predicted to make national champioinship runs.  Neither school came remotely close to acheiving that goal.

I am trying to do a project for school where I put one plant in direct sunlight, one plant in the shade, and one in darkness and had to record what happened.  My father found the plants and not realising I was doing a project, planted all the plants and I have now run out of time to complete the project.  Please help!

Every plant is biologically programmed to thrive and flourish under certain lighting  conditions...  some need lots of light, and some don't.


my os is windows xp sp2, but its not working properly, some of its dll's are missing i'm new to this so if anybody can give me some pointers i'll appreciate it very much.

Don't delete the OS.  If DLL files are missing, you may need to either reinstall the programs they belong to, or get the files yourself.  This is a good source for them: http://www.dll-files.com/


I suggest you goto: http://http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Manuals/IOM/list.asp\nwhich takes you to the index of these various manuals. Most are Adobe .pdf files, so you will need Adobe Reader (free).\nGood luck with your research.\n--Phil Taylor (friendlyvillage98@yahoo.com)


When recording VHS tapes, one can set the recording quality to SP, LP or EP.  I am curious how upon playback the VHS player is able to play at the appropriate speed.  Additionally, could two different recording speeds be used on the same VHS tape?  (For example: The first half of the tape being recorded at SP and the second half at EP).

In addition to audio and video tracks there is a control track on the VHS tape that tells the machine whether a program is in SP, LP, or EP.  When you record a program you tell the machine which mode to use and it changes the control track to comply as often as you wish.

Verses rom Quran,look its contradictions "(3:45)... Jesus, Son of Mary; high honored shall he be in this world and the next, near stationed to Allah" &\n" And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.\n    Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say to wit 'worship God my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them and Thou art a witness to all things" (5:119-120)\n\nnow the verse that contradic the above:\n\n"  Surely you and what you worship besides Allah\n    are the firewood of hell; to it you shall come"(21:98)

And you get mad when someone insults your religion and your belief.\n\nYou want respect?,then show some respect towards others and there beliefs.


I mean if you, half of your life, acted like somebody else. At a certain point you try to find out who you really are. How can you find the real you?

There are several "types" of people in the world.  Write down what you like about yourself and don't want to change.  Then, write down what you don't like about yourself, figure out why and decide how to change it.  \n\nTHEN... figure out what "type" of person you wanna be and work up some personality goals that will develop you into that person.  Will this take a week? No...It’s gradual and at it's correct pace.  They pace you take it at:  one day at a time.


Although many Muslim's settle in the west,for a better life,for a good job.It looks like they distance themselves from the their host soceties.If the west is such a great enemy that is threatening the integrity and the peace of Islam,why? do muslims flock to these western countires.

It is simply because they have a different culture and social background. For example, they might find the relations between a man and a woman outside marrige is unacceptable while in the Western Culture it is. So it's not a matter of hatred but a matter of being different. The best thing to do is to respect each other culture and accept diversity.\n\nIf Islam anti-western then no one in the Islamic world will welcome some of the western civics or mordernisation.


With respect to the Muslims: you choose to blame an entire continent of people for the actions of only a few?  Do you hate all Catholics for the preverted actions of their priests?  Why not??? Think about the comparison here.\nI am a white girl, all american, but ashamed by the attitude and ignorance of my community, my country.\nCan more be expected from people who choose to follow the majority, agree with anything they hear? And you probably believed it when he said hidden weapons of mass destruction, the war would be swift, few casualties.\nHmmmmm...  A mind capable of free thinking, FREE WILL.  CHOICE.  Don't worry about the majority.  The minority is where it's at people!

I reserve that emotion for certain people in the Bush Administration.  I have no quarrel with Catholics or Muslims. \n- or Jews, Hindus, Agnistics, Mormans or Unitarians. \nBut as for president Chimp and his neocon handlers, a whole different story.

COmpared to other countries, America has crap maternity leave for soon to be parents.  12 weeks unpaid is criminal.  From a so-called family values government, you would think they would want to encourage the bonding of families with their newborns.  Is there anything we can do to change the law?

Because in most corporate companies, your not seen as a "person", your seen as a robot, number, etc. Take your pick. That's why my hubby and I own our own business. When I had our son, I just stopped working! :)


(it's for a science experiment and I don't know where to start. thanks)

The depth of the water determines what wavelength wave can pass through it.  Deeper water passes longer waves, which can contain more energy than shorter ones.  When a wave gets into progressively shallower water it bunches up, rises, crests and finally breaks.


Given the graph of the exponential function f(x)=b^x for which the base, b, is greater than 1. The graph of f has an x-intercept at (-1,0). True or False?

the exponential (both b>1 and 0<b<1) doesn't intercept the x axis: in fact the x axis is a horizontal asymptote for the function (asymptote = which doesn't touch, by ethimology).\n\nAnyway, if you want an algebrical answer, substitute -1 to x in the function: you get y=b^-1 --> y=1/b\nThe reciprocal of any number is never 0.


I've been too worried about boys lately n getting my self in trouble with them how can i turn that around

first start doing your homework.  then maybe go out for some sports.  then mabey you should start trying to make more girl friends.


the ratings are way down...\n\nwhy?  any thoughts or opinions

In my opinion the coverage for the olympics this year is a lot better than four years ago.\n\nFour years ago it was 95% figure skating and ice dancing\nFour years ago when they weren't showing figure skating they were showing weepy fluff pieces on the athletes' lives.\nFour years ago you wouldn't see an event unless an American was a medal contender.\n\nThis year they seem to be balancing out the coverage a lot better.  They're showing a wider variety of sports, and hardly any of the fluff pieces.  They're even showing sports where America isn't in contention.\n\nWhy are the ratings down?\n\nProbably because they're showing a wider variety of sports, and hardly any of the fluff pieces, and because they're showing sports where America isn't in contention.


yeah i think he likes me too...he's always staring at me.What should i do?

No, wait until after Valentine's day to tell your crush that you like him. Valentine's day suggests love- it's too much for a guy to handle. Wait Wait Wait!~ Trust me.  Do it this weekend. Suggest going to a movie and afterwards get a drink/coffee/take a walk and inform your crush of your feelings then.\n\nI'm OLDER, I know what I'm talking about!!

I think all they care about is making big money. I don't really believe an NBA championship means a lot to them...

Ch. 13 Bankruptcy Collin County--eastern district \nJanna Countryman--trustee\nRefund due to major medical bills over the last year and house payment interest (and 3 kids)

First, this is a question for legal counsel in the jurisdiction.  Bankruptcy law is a mix of local and national laws.  That said, the money isn't yours once you go into bankruptcy, it is the trustee's money now.  Everything due to you isn't yours anymore.  Whether you can gain access to the funds depends totally on the particulars of your case.  Think of it as no different than if you had $2000 in a checking account.


besides walking back and forth from class each day, will i lose weight faster the second week if i start exercising about 2 hours a day, while still eating 1300 calories a day.

1300 calories daily is quite low.  It's too low for exercising 2 hours per day.\n\nThis calculator will show you the approximate number of calories that your body burns just doing nothing: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calrmr.php  You shouldn't eat fewer calories than this base metabolism amount or you will lose muscle.  Any activities that you do, walking and exercise burn additional calories.\n\nSo, it would be better to eat a few more calories AND to exercise.  No need for 2 hours daily.  30 minutes to an hour 5 times a week is good.


I have always had straight relationships and am in one with a girl I love of 4 years. I have in the past had bisexual sex with other males and I have never told anyone. I recently met a nice, hot young guy who is also bisexual. The first couple times we met it was just coffee or drinks, but the last 4 times we spent alone in private and had oral sex. Now... the way I met him... my girlfriend and I were looking to have a mfm 3some which we have done in the past and we found him. The first time we all met he asked me if I was bi, and I told him yes, but that my girl doesn't know. We exchanged numbers and is how we had private meetings. I have hinted to my girl about bisexual men, but seems to have no interst. I really want to tell her so she knows and I don't want to do stuff behind her back, and so there can be male/male contact in future 3somes with this same guy. I do love my girlfriend very much, but also love sex with men. my girl is bi also. Should I tell her??? Help

If your girl is bi too, I'd hope there wouldn't be an issue. I'd tell her. Chances are, she'll accept, and you'll both be happier ::wink wink:: *lol* Good luck.

They do field trips and have play groups so the kids can still get the benefit of friendships. Also check the YMCA's for Homeshool hours at the gymnasiums. They have P.E. time only for homeschoolers at the rec center where I am from. \n\nBest of luck to you and her!!


In holy Quraan, 3rd Chapter 186th Verse:\n\n“You shall certainly be tried and tested in your wealth and properties and in your personal selves, and you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allah; but if you persevere patiently, and become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2) then verily, that will be a determining factor in all affairs (and that is from the great matters which you must hold on with all your efforts).\n\nAs this verse matches what Denmark and other countries committed towards Islam and his prophet PBUH...\n\n1) The word: "patiently" here, what does it mean?\n\n2) How to be patient when enemies of Islam insult his prophet "PBUH"?\n\n\nThanks for your time and effort

It’s a miracle that a verse in Holy Quraan from more than a thousand year happens now; the thing that assures more and more that those who doubt in Allah existence, claim that Holy Quraan isn’t true; or doubt in Allah beyond past – present – future knowledge ARE MISTAKEN MINDS.\n\nIn the 3rd Chapter 186th Verse\nPATIENCE here means not to doubt in Allah power in destroying Islam enemies, but to be certain that Allah gives them time to commit more till his revenge obliterates them the least they expect.\nAs 2nd Chapter 15th Verse says: “Allah mocks at them and gives them increase in their wrong-doings to wander blindly”.\n\nThen to accomplish our duty as Muslims to fight them by all the means “ourselves, money, word power; and prayers”. \n\n\nThe possible means in the time being are: \n\n1- Money in the way of boycotting their products and tearing down their economy.\n2- Word power in the way of media and press.\n3- Deep true prayers to Allah so that he quickens his revenge in them and makes us witness it.\n\nThe 3 means I mentioned are the least reactions taken by any Muslim who believes in Allah and his prophet Muhammad PBUH, who loves his religion Islam, who cares for it; and who considers it as his own dignity, pride; and self-respect.


I'm looking for land that is for rent in kansas to place a mobile home on. I don't want to live in a trailer park because I have dogs and I need more land that the space they allow. I can't seem to find any sites or anything where land is for rent for this purpose but I know there has to be something somewhere.  Any help would be appreciated.

You can try online database such as realtor.com  or craigslist.org\n\nOR..  Try going to county recorder's office and getting the information of land owners in your area.  If it is an empty land, and you offer to rent it, I don't see why owner's will say no.

I have a close friend/roommate, a 29 year old male who is unemployed. He has worked in shipping and retail businesses before, but lately has been having  alot of trouble finding a job. He looks in the paper and goes on Monster.com, but it has now been almost a year that he has been out of work. He only has a GED and prefers not to interact much with the public. He can do manual labor but doesn't have many office skills. I want to help him find a job so he can bring some income into the house, but i want him to find a decent job so he doesn't get frustrated and want to quit. Any suggestions on how I can help or ideas I can give him?

go to temp service, he can do diff jobs until he finds one he likes, then do a good job and he will no doubt become perm.


Preferably, the criteria supported by the U.N. I am not finding this at the UN site.I want to know what conditions must exist for "declaration of war" to be validated.

I am so sick of the republicans and the democrats. I wish there was a way to blow up the parties and start over. I was thinking maybe now is the time to step out side the box. Both parties are horrible. The democrats have lost there way. The republicans are increasing the government control instead of the conservative doctrine of small government. Is now the right time?

It's not likely for a couple of reasons.  First, campaign finance laws rig the system in favor of Demopublicans and Republicrats.  Second, if an issue championed by a small, independent party becomes big enough, one of the two major parties will take it over as their own.\nMore Americans should register as Independents - that's the American way to vote!


university of st. franis in joilet, illinios

Not sure how you would get it online but you are best off phoning them and giving them the relevant info. Short of that you would have to email the universitys Dean ( I think they call them that ). Basically the person in charge of the universitys faculty or whatever. I still stick to my original suggestion with the calling the unversity.


I have a girl in school tha bullys me around, she says things me that are not true!

Don't even argue, and don't talk about other people.  Treat all people nicely, even the ones who are mean to you.\n\nFirst, treating people nicely will keep you out of trouble.  Second, it is no fun to bully someone if they won't get mad.  If you get mad, she will keep doing it.  If you don't, she will eventually feel foolish and stop, because it is not working.\n\nBottom line--be nice to everyone, even to her.  If you offer candy, offer her some.  If you play games, invite her to play.\n\nAny other solution will just lead to more trouble.  Even ignoring her won't make it go away, because she will see that it is bothering you, and you will eventually explode.


The Fourier transform is used throughout physics. All the Fourier representation is, is an expansion of some variable, function or data in terms of sines and cosines.\n\nThis is valuable because:\n1. Simple harmonic oscillators are a very valuable model in physics (in mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, etc), and the solutions of the simple harmonic equation are sines and cosines. Therefore sines and cosines are a natural basis to use in physics. \n2. The eigenfunctions of the infinitesimal generator of translations are complex exponentials, which can be expanded easily in the sum of a sine and a cosine by Euler's formula. \n\nTherefore, an expansion in sines and cosines is very valuable, because they can be used as a parsimonius representation of many phenomena in physics. In otherwords, it is a compact way to describe many physical processes. \n\nAnother reason that the Fourier transform is important in physics is that it is very useful for solving equations in physics like the heat equation, Maxwell's equations, fluid mechanics equations, the wave equation, etc. \n\nAnother reason that the Fourier transform is useful in physics is that many important physical properties are captured in things like dispersion relations. This even lead to Schrodinger's equation. Fourier transform pair uncertainty principles are reflected in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. \n\nHow does the Fourier transform show up in nature? All over the place, such as in the spectra of gases, stars, etc. Rainbows are a visual example of a Fourier transform in nature.


well i want to no how sudokupuzzles are made as i want to make a program so i need to no the equation to do it

Main article: Mathematics of Sudoku\n\nThe general problem of solving Sudoku puzzles on n2 x n2 boards of n x n blocks is known to be NP-complete [8]. This gives some indication of why Sudoku is difficult to solve, although on boards of finite size the problem is finite and can be solved by a deterministic finite automaton that knows the entire game tree.\n\nSolving Sudoku puzzles (as well as any other NP-hard problem) can be expressed as a graph colouring problem. The aim of the puzzle in its standard form is to construct a proper 9-colouring of a particular graph, given a partial 9-colouring. The graph in question has 81 vertices, one vertex for each cell of the grid. The vertices can be labelled with the ordered pairs (x,\, y), where x and y are integers between 1 and 9. In this case, two distinct vertices labelled by (x,\, y) and (x',\, y') are joined by an edge if and only if:\n\n    * x = x'\, or,\n    * y = y'\, or,\n    * \lceil x/3 \rceil = \lceil x'/3 \rceil and \lceil y/3 \rceil = \lceil y'/3 \rceil\n\nThe puzzle is then completed by assigning an integer between 1 and 9 to each vertex, in such a way that vertices that are joined by an edge do not have the same integer assigned to them.\n\nA valid Sudoku solution grid is also a Latin square. There are significantly fewer valid Sudoku solution grids than Latin squares because Sudoku imposes the additional regional constraint. Nonetheless, the number of valid Sudoku solution grids for the standard 9×9 grid was calculated by Bertram Felgenhauer in 2005 to be 6,670,903,752,021,072,936,960 [9] (sequence A107739 in OEIS). This number is equal to 9! × 722 × 27 × 27,704,267,971, the last factor of which is prime. The result was derived through logic and brute force computation. The derivation of this result was considerably simplified by analysis provided by Frazer Jarvis and the figure has been confirmed independently by Ed Russell. Russell and Jarvis also showed that when symmetries were taken into account, there were 5,472,730,538 solutions [10] (sequence A109741 in OEIS). The number of valid Sudoku solution grids for the 16×16 derivation is not known.\n\nThe maximum number of givens that can be provided while still not rendering the solution unique is four short of a full grid; if two instances of two numbers each are missing and the cells they are to occupy form the corners of an orthogonal rectangle, and exactly two of these cells are within one region, there are two ways the numbers can be assigned. Since this applies to Latin squares in general, most variants of Sudoku have the same maximum. The inverse problem—the fewest givens that render a solution unique—is unsolved, although the lowest number yet found for the standard variation without a symmetry constraint is 17, a number of which have been found by Japanese puzzle enthusiasts [11] [12], and 18 with the givens in rotationally symmetric cells.

My boyfriend loaned me his laptop to used while he is deployed in Iraq, but he didn't tell me his password to login into the windows program. Is there anyway to find it or change it without just using the guest login?

Other than "brute force" methods (keep guessing until you guess right), there are few options for getting around the login password.\n\nA friend used a bootable Linux disk with a Windows password wipe utility to remove the administrative password on an machine he needed to get access to.  It simply cleared the password, it did not reset it to something else.  Sorry, I didn't get it's name, and I've lost contact with him, but you may have some luck searching the web.

Also, do you think she lied when she said she would not run when she ran for re-election?

1st.. The electoral college win is not "stealing" elections... Clinton NEVER won the majority vote (over 50%) either....\n\n2nd... She will run... I have no doubt... she is one who is out for whatever she can get\n\n3rd... She will not win... too Liberal, and the country knows it\n\n3rd... She lied.. Why would she jeopardize having NO political job? If she would not run for Senate, run for President, and lose, she would have nothing. Though she said she would not, she will go for re-election in the Senate, then spout off some miraculous inspiration and still run for President anyway.

60 CAUSE UR CUTTING IT IN HALF. ALL THE WORK


Some people have extra curricular activities and such that they do. Others have church. Why would teachers assign students homework. Isn't going home like our time off? I mean parents/ adults don't have to come home and do their work at home do they? If you answers this question also include why.

As I answer this question my son is in his room yelling to me that homework is pointless and stupid... His theory is that he does a lot of work in school... Which I agree... but I think a little homework is good for study habits later in life... And it will also help you do better in school and later in life. The teacher teaches you how to do things when you are in school. At the age of 9 and younger, homework pretty much is there to let the teacher know you understand the material you learned in school. And then when you get older the teachers don't have all the time in the world and you need to do more reading and more side work other than what you learn in class...


Just wonderin what good shows are out there and if i should start watching them.

I have met someone whom I really like and and he knows the whole situation - I also have 2 children from my husband and they met him and really got along with him. why am I feeling ashamed or guilty of dating? My cheating husband wants me back. this is about the 3rd time that I know of in the past 10 years- I have no desire to let him back in my life as my husband. Why am I feeling ashamed of dating and possibly moving on with my life and be happy? I care too much about what other people view as right or what they think.

I think it revolves around the fact you are still in the "Wife" frame of mind. Well the children, Still married and the rest of the phrases you say. \n\nThree times? you are more commited to your role as "Wife" then your role as yourself or mother. Might watch that. Been known to be dangerous.


I am talking about some kind of charge for this. This is supposed to be something like an utility.

The question is a bit vague. But it sounds like something you would see on a HUD settlement statement if the house had a tank for heating oil. The buyer would owe the seller some cash for it if the tank had some oil left in it, assuming someone thought of it. \n\nThis would be one picky seller, most people wouldn't think of it. And you can check to see if the contract for purchase addressed it if you wanted to argue it. It should say something if the buyer is to pay for it.


wath is the mathematical definition of the "free" modes for a system of partial differential equations?\n\nIs there something like non-free modes?

What you are describing is what some people like to refer to as Degrees of freedom.\n\nFor example in statics, there are 6 degrees of freedom;  The degrees of freedom in this case would be "movement in and rotation about all three axis.  However, not all six would be concidered a free mode.  Think of a wheel on a car.  The wheel can rotate about the transverse axis(how the car moves, and rotate about the vertical axis (this is how the car turns).  However the wheel could not move in any direction (relitive to the car) or rotate in the longitudinal axis (in normal condition).


T.V shows i dont like: 24(it just doesnt do it for me), CSI: and CSI: New york( sorry but CSI:Miami is better than both) that 70's show(dont really get why people love that show), Lost(Why is everyone hooked?), just to name a few, wat about you guys?

All those ridiculous reality shows like big brother and such....how boring and sad those people are.


This thing was so hard to get rid of, but I finally did.  Here is what I did. I searched all over trying lots of things.  I even bought SpySweeper, which would find SpyFalcon but wouldn't permanetly delete it.  Finally I figured out that SpyFalcon is related to the Trojan SmitFraud and so I tried to remove it with a removal tool.  It worked, the two are either the same or related in some way, so it worked and now my computer is free of SpyFalcon.\n\nBelow is the website that had the instructions that I used to get rid of SpyFalcon.

The same network that dumped the NHL from its schedule and has just about ignored hockey since its triumphant return from last season's lockout is now falling all over itself to cast the league in the ugliest light possible by giving saturation coverage to this overblown gambling story. How utterly transparent and despicable ESPN's actions are. We need a viable alternative to their little tyranny over sports television and I'm hoping OLN continues to blossom and grow with the NHL as its flagship. ESPN sucks!

I hate this story. Who cares? It's not like they did anything wrong anyway, excpet for skipping out on taxes, but really, they make millions of dollars every year, so they pay taxes on that money. I want to see something about the Olympics or the race for top 8 spots in the Western Conference, or ANYTHING except this story. From what I hear Canadian television is only doing minimal coverage on it. I think I'll move.


I need to take this test on wedensday.can anyone please let me know where can i get this test online for free>thank you very much.i really need to do good in this test

I'm not aware of anywhere on line where you can get a free psychomotor skill test, and in any case, there are a number of different tests.  What's involved in the test depends very much on how old you are and the purpose of the test.  Is it for a job?  Does it have to do with school?  Does it have to do with writing skills?  Have you had a stroke or some other health issue?  Is the testing related to sports?\n\nSome psychomotor tests are done only with pencil and paper.  Sometimes you might be asked to complete different tasks that are like puzzles - think about Rubric's cube, jigsaw puzzles, chain link puzles, putting pegs in the right slots, how fast you can complete a peg board, copying or matching designs with blocks, etc.  Other tests include body coordination tasks, such as how long you can stand on one foot with your eyes closed, repeatedly touching your index fingers to the tip of your nose, etc.\n\nSo you see, your question is not a simple one.  We need more information to be of more help to you.  If you can tell me why you are taking this test and the type of test you are taking I may be able to help you further.

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?


It seems evident that the vast majority of us (Under or overweight) want to be fit or close to it. When it come to fulfilling that goal, most resort to one of the various fad diets out there usually for only a short period of time, drop a pounds then quite, never reaching the real goal.\n\nWhat is it in your life (Barring any health issues that prevent exercise) that keeps you from fully committing yourself and getting sound dietary advice and beginning an exercise program to really attain the results you want so badly?

I'm actually in pretty good shape but I still think this question applies to me. I find it is extremely difficult to maintain physical fitness due to work and family obligations. I work long hours and I have to care for a child and aging parents. That being said I still find time to exercise. However I completely understand how people have difficulty doing what is necessary to stay in shape. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't party - so basically I don't have much of a social life. For those with active social lives I can imagine it is next to impossible.


Got an offer in my bulk mail from "Instant Income Academy"After filling out my address etc. they want a credit card number after saying it was all FREE.Is this most likely a scam?

I'm almost 100% sure that this is a scam. Most of the time, companies will say whatever they have is free, regardless of whether it is legitimate or not. When they ask you for your credit card number, hell no. Not unless they have a really, really good reason, it is a scam. Unless they are providing a trial that after a certain time you will have to pay for, it is a scam. You should put in the question you put up here exactly why they said they needed it, cuz depending, they're might be a slight chance it is a good reason, but im pretty sure this is a straight up scam, especially seeing as the mail went directly to junk mail also.


i need some picture about the story n some notes about it...\nthx a lot

I didnt read this story for years, but i know i learned it in school. I might be able to look through my notes later and give you a more detailed response. Here is what i remember:\n\nI just a correction with what General wrote. The women went to a store right away to get a replacement. She did not have enough money, so she made a deal to pay it back slowly. She was indebted for many, many years. The rich lady got back the necklace right away. Years later the poor women met her, and was full of resentment. She told the lady, do you know what you did to me? The lady had no idea. When she told her all about what she did the lady couldnt believe it, she told her it was a fake.\n\nThe story has irony, the poor lady could now get the necklace back, and cash it in and be rich.\nPoint of view is also important to the story because we get to see the anguish the poor lady had. If it would be through the rich lady's eyes we would know all along that it was a fake. In this case it was a surprise.


when someone caters 2 ur every need; even when u don't want or ask them to;is insane.

No it`s not insane.  They want to cater to you.  They want to be near you.  It`s a show of love and compassion.

Hi everyone, this has been always my dream, my goal is I want to buy and own a whole apartment buildings, in other words for example like you find an apartment and you decided to rent to live in, but I want to own all the houses from that apartment.  So about how much it would be to buy an apartment?  \n\nIf you can tell me the average value is fine, and also if you know where on the website or any other places I could get for the information, please tell me to do so I would very glad them.  Again, I need to as much information as possible on this business, because I think this is a great thing you can make money with your investment and plus I think this would be the only business I will do if I have the cash on my hand.  I hope this idea work, if not then I will just find a good career like to be doctor, etc. just to work for a company or a corporation.  Thank yo so much guys.

How much did you pay for your first house?\nHow much did you pay for your second house and how much do you charge every month?


How do you feel about this, I will add my comments later.

Grrrrr....\n\nEDIT: Don't bash Clinton! He eliminated the deficit, and we had a surplus for a short time. All the while we survived and the economy was good. Bush blew it. He saddled us with that deficit. what's it up to? Eight TRILLION plus? Who's paying for the Iraq war? Who's paying to rebuild the place? Where is the Iraqi oil money? They are selling oil. Where do you think that money is going? Hmmm....


My sister has red BLOTCHY red rash over her entire body just today it got to her eyes. 2 days ago her stomach hurt, she had diarheaa and she was vomiting. It is SORT OF itchy her neck is NOT stiff and she does not have a fever and they rash is not bumpy!1 HELP@

You didn't say how old she is.  Children can get viral syndromes which cause a red rash.  Roseola is one they get, in which they may have a fever and be a little ill, then often the fever drops, and they break out in a red rash.  It is contagious to them, but relatively harmless, nothing special to do for it.  Of course measles causes a red rash.  They will be sick for a few days before they break out.  We don't see it much, with the vaccine being given to most.  They will get pretty sick with measles.  You just keep their skin clean so they don't get secondary infection, and give them a liquid diet, something they can hold down.  If they get worse, they need to see a doctor, as they could have secondary pneumonia, or even measles encephalitis, which is a rare complication.  I suppose you might know what hives looks like.  Hives is big splotches of elevated reddish "wheals", that usually itch.  It is usually an allergic reaction to something, and we usually can't tell what.  We just treat it with benadryl and steroids and it gets better.  These are the most common things.  Of course you can get a rash with an allergic reaction to something, such as to an antibiotic.  There are more rare types of skin outbreak, like Stevens-Johnson syndrome.  If the skin starts breaking down and looking really "angry", it could be that.  They usually get that as an allergic reaction to some drug, and it requires high dose steroids to combat.  Hope this helps.  It probably is just a mild virus like Roseola, and will go away on its own. If it is bad or gets worse, have her seen in ER.

After i downloaded the widgets off of yahoo, it reads them as not being able to be read, so i figure i could rename it with the .exe extension. It shows up as a program, but when i click on it, a screen shows up and just disappears, and nothing happens. Did i use the wrong extension, or do i need something before i can use them.

First a question, do you have the Yahoo widgets Engine installed ?\n\nIf not you will need to install that in order to use the widgets as they are written for the engine and are not native windows apps in and of themselves so simply renaming them to .exe will not make them work.\n\nIf you do have the Widgets engine Installed then you should try uninstalling it then re-installing it to see if that fixes the problem, in some cases to get it to install properly will require you to empty the Temp folders, if so e-mail me and I will tell you how to do this. fsebentley@direcway.com


Does Our electrical energy change form? Or does it float around unchanged? Or does it Just stop Dead?Is there any way of Knowing?

Ah, is this the Age-Old question you ask, or simple curiosity about Human electrical energy?  \n\nAs I understand it, measurable electrical energy ceases to be monitorable in the body a short time after both the brain and heart have ceased functioning.  Electrical energy is still present for a time after the pronunciation of death, and may be visible as post-mortem twitching.  It takes some time for the chemical and electrical energy to cease being present in the deceased.\n\nNow, since science postulates that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it is logical to presume that the energy must travel elsewhere.\n\nYour spiritual belief system will answer the next part of the question ... Where does the energy go after death?\n\nIf you believe that the energy is dispersed among all other living entities, then you might be  Taoist.  \n\nIf you beleive that the energy is re-cycled and reconcentrated into another single entity, then you might be Hindu.\n\nIf you believe the energy remains intact but is transported to another place, or dimension, then you beleive in Heaven, and might be a follower of one of many religious teachings. \n\nEtc...\n\nHope this helps.

Have you ever heard about Network Marketing.  It's main highlight is that you can work from home, for a few bucks you can become a distributor and have all the benefits of owning a business with few of the administrative hassels.\n\nIf it resonates with you, network marketing can be dynamite vehicle for wealth.  But, and this is a big but, dont think for a mintue that you're going to get a free ride.  Network Marketing will only work if you do.  It will take training, time and energy to succeed.  But if you do, incomes in the ranges of $20k to 50K per month or more.  thats right per month - are not uncommon in that industry!!  I have meant people that just wanted to earn an extra $500 a month to catch up on bills, child support and some other stuff and their incomes now are unbelievable.\n\nJust by becoming a part-time distributor will give you some excellent tax advantages, and who knows maybe you'll enjoy the product enough to offer it to others and end up making a nice income to boot. Nothing beats a failure but a try:) \n\nCheck out: \n\nhttp://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/Multisite/JSP/opp/movieticket.jsp\n\nand\n\nhttp://teamnuvision.com/profiles.htm

HE LIKES TO GO OUT WITH HIS FRIENDS AND PARTY BUT IF I TRY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE GO OUT WITH MY SISTER HE'LL LET ME BUT THEN HE'LL PUT A FACE OR JUST START SAYING THINGS TO HURT MY FEELINGS.WHAT SHOUL I DO OR THINK? HE ALSO SOMETIMES SAYS THAT HE'S LEAVING BUT THEN STAYS. AM I PAYING 4 SOMETHING HIS BABY MAMA DID TO HIM? CAUSE SHE HAD SEX WITH HIS BEST FRIEND. DOES HE NOT TRUST ANY FEMALE NOW THAT SHE DID THAT?

It sounds like your boyfriend is self conscience of your relationship and he is he sure of himself.  Have you made attempts to reassure him that he is the only one and that when you go out you are just having fun with your female friends.  \n\nI think many times we as women forget that men can also suffer from low self esteem and can be just as self conscience about relationships as women.


It's questionable, and depends on what you mean by "pain."  Do you mean response to stimuli that would make us go 'ouch?'  Or do you mean judging that stimuli as something bad.  What we think of as 'thought' generally lies in the cortex of the brain.  Fish do not have a developed cortex but do just barely have some functions that are similar.\n\nOK, you kind of contradicted youself when you said you're not interested in cognaitive thought, but are interested in negative sensations.  It is cognative thought that judges stimuli to be negative or positive.  Fish do respond to those stimuli by pulling away or having an incresased heart rate - But so will earthworms, or flatworms.  Plants will also respond to those stimuli (minus the heartbeat).\n\nAs for the fish's response being reflexive, vrs. one of thought, this is the debateable area.  The parts of the brain that experience emotion are barely present in the fish.\n\nYou are asking a very good and complicated question.  Not a lot of research had been done in this area.  I suggest you take a look at the book I recommended - it's very good.


If you find the bones of a baby that has died a considerably long time ago can you tell whether or not the baby is a boy or girl? Infant babies I mean.I'm writing a novel.

It depends.\n\nIf there is any tissue or marrow left you could do a crude DNA analysis and look for X and Y chromosomes.\n\nIf you had some history you could do a bone size/mass analysis. We know that males and females have different growth curves and rates. Looking at the size of the bones, you could determine a number of factors if you started with at lest one bookmark point like date of birth.\n\nIf you look at a cross section of the bone, depending on preservation, there are celluar differences that will help determine this, as well as racial background.\n\nOne nice thing about fiction, is that you can take liberties. Look at the TV Show CSI. Its a hit. But do you really think it is all done that way? DNA analysis takes days not minutes. Most times, the CSi techs are specialized and do only one aspect, like fingerprint analysis, they do not disassemble cars, run simulaions and do fingerprint analysis. So the point is that iwth a good story, the little details are overlooked and forgiven. You could very easily fugde the science and few would notice and of those that did, if the story was decent few would care. Another example, Jurassic Park. It was based on science in concept. Cloning is possible. Amber contains insects with blood from the time of dinosaura. Why not combine the two and clone T-Rex. Sounds good, but it does not mention all the details that make this impossible. But it was a great story, so the reader just doen't even think about it.\nGood luck with your novel.

I want to become a police officer but am worried about the psychologic background interview.  I was a victim of armed robbery and suffered PTSD and depression.  Will this disqualify me from this career?  I want to get scum bags like the ones who robbed me off the streets!

It might be your reason for wanting to be a cop that will hold you back. Talk to a counselor and see if you're stable before you even consider exposing yourself to the trials of becoming a law enforcement officer.


i want to start an ebay business and was wondering what is the best thing to sell


How an AUBG education will broaden your global perspective and cultivate your capacity for social responsibility?\n/essay/\n\n\n\nThere is always the moment in your life where you are in front of the dilemma should you continue fighting for your dreams and ideas or should you leave them and enjoy life the way it is. You realize if you keep going, if you don't give up you may help a lot of people, even change the world. You remind yourself that you have been through all these wearsome wars, not only with the others, but with yourself. You understand that sometimes you were against your desires, against yourself. You are confused, you are not sure if you are going to succeed. When i am in font of such challenge(trial) i tell myself: "I don't think it would be easy, but i am sure it would be worth it!"\nDesiding to continue education is a big step in everybody's life. It is an enormous change - you know you have to be careful because chosing a university is like chosing your future home for the next four years. As far as i know, everyone wants to have cozy home with trustworthy family, that can induldge to provide the necessary opportunities. I considered a lot of universities and i dare to say AUBG is the most appropriate and the best "home". I have observed AUBG in the last few years and now I'm sure it provides everything what young people need to prove theirselves. When i came on the open-house week before three years, i was impressed by the traditions AUBG has managed to save through all this time. Since then, I am sure every other college or university should reflects the opportunities AUBG gives. I have always dreamed to study in the AUBG. I am sure that it's experienced teachers and modern material base would help me develop my skills in the mass comunications field. Of course, you can't chose university only because it has the nessecary material base or good hostel - chosing the best university is connected with hard work and realized efforts. Nowdays, the televison is the best  informing media, has became a manipulator all over the world. I really want to study journalism, because i want to reflect? people's voice, to show we should be tolerant to each other. There are things we should change for sure - we need to rebuild those parts of society which slacken our pace. I have been working in our local television as a newscaster. This job helped me realize i am a part of the society and i should take an active role(part?) in social life. I have interviewed many people from different parts of our municipality and i understood that there are still a lot of political, economic and social problems because of the wrong information shown by the media. I think there are still people who are afraid to show their critical  attitude to the economic affairs and the ups and downs of the international market. I really want to be part of the worldly class of people who work hard to provide everyday knowledge and facts. I also undrestood that i can't build career only on knowledge - career means knowledge acompained by aggregate of clear aims and actions which will lead to my profecional realzation. A successful career for me doesn't mean just an idea for the "perfect life" - it is a process, connected with the accumulation of your intelectual baggage. Finding the best university that saticfies our criterias lay the stronghold of our future career and life. I chose to study journalism in AUBG because i know that this is the profession which would never leave me indifferent to the society that surrounds me and because as every young person I hope and expect, that my future education in AUBG will help me develop parallel to the responsibilities i undertake.

there are a lot of spelling mistakes which u can correct by running it thru spell check.but if u expect people in this forum to rephrase or change words it will b difficult.try giving it to friends or family who are good in creative writing to do that.


why do we remember adolf hitler now?\nwho in adolf hitler's lifewere his influences or hit role model?

We remember so that we don't let history repeat itself.  Hitler was a great Orator who used his ability of speach giving to build up the Nazi party and eventually take control of Germany.  He was a Corporal in World War I and was devistated by the German Loss of the war as well as the terms of the surrender. He built an army with youth clubs and an Airforce out of Flying Clubs as Germany was restricted as to the number in each by the treaty of Versalles.  He built a strong organization of Secret Police and held a real tight reign on the people of Germany as well as the Annexed areas of Europe that were conceeded to him.\n\nOf course World War II started in 1939 when Hitler took Poland in about 3 weeks time and turned around and marched through France in 6 weeks.  The Europe war lasted until May 8, 1945.  The U.S. fought with Japan until September, 1945.\n\nBefore and during World War II Hitler dreamed of a society led by the German Aryan Race, he set out a plan to help produce more purity in Europe with his "Final Solution".  He was responsible for the genocide extermination of 6,000,000 Jews, as well as many Gypsies and Jehovah's Witnesses. He used most of these people before their extermination as slave labor for his war machine.  He was so adamant about the extermination of the Jews that he used resources such as Rail Roads that could have moved troops to the Russian front to move Jews to Extermination Camps.  All of the "Concentration Camps" also required much manpower that could have been put to use in the war effort.  By the end of the War Hitler was ordering troops that did not exist into battle.  He was quite ill with Parkinsons Disease and extremely paranoid of all germs and of course plots against his life.  He died by committing suicide so that he could not be taken alive.  His vast empire had collapsed into 3 square blocks when he finally died and the Germans continued to fight for a little over a week after his death.\n\nHitler needs to be remembered because of his "Racist" ideas and where they lead.  We need to remember what happened to all the people who died in what was probably the largest effort at genocide to date.  He built killing factories to do this work and it must be remembered so that we do not ever allow this thing to happen again in this world.  I believe that his failures in life were probably his greatest influence.  He spent around 2 years in prison after a failed revolt in 1923, during which time he wrote "Mein Kampf" in which he outlined his plans for Germany and his Master Race. The sales of this book made Hitler a Millionaire, which allowed him more time to spend on Politics and not have to worry about how to pay the bills.  His greatest Role Model was Benito Mussulini the Fascist Dictator of Italy, however later in the war it was Hitler that was the role model for Mussulini.\n\nThis is one page in history that we never want to see repeated and that is why we must remember Hitler.


they found him not gulty.  what can i do?  can i do anything?  would i get sued if i spread the word about what he did?  could it ever go back to court?  he wasnt lying and they kept it out of the trial that he has aids.  i dont have it, but i think they should havbe known.


Determine whether Q(2,3), R(-1,-1) and S(-4,-2) lie on the same line. How would i do that? Also \nFind the slope of the line that passes through the origin and (r, s).

Well since you have to plot this on a graph this might be hard to explain only using english - but I'll try.\nQ would be 2 places to the right (from (0,0)) and 3 places up on your graph.  R is 1 place to the left and 1 place down.  S lies 4 places to the left and 2 places up.  Once these are graphed you can see that there is no way they can lay on a single line - so no they don't.\nSlope = rise/run.  R is 3 places below S and 3 places to the right so your rise/run = 3/3 and your slope = -1 (it's negative 1 because the line is sloping doen and not up).  If you were doing the slope from R to Q the slope would be positive.\nI hope this helps, good luck.  Hooray for math!


gays in the US army have been charged with sodomy along with other offences according to cnn.com. mfuking gays with sodomy? it has left me scratching my head.

Anyone, homosexual or not, can be cited using local anti- sodomy laws.  \n\nMany municipalities have had anti-sodomy laws on the books for years, and years.  These laws were typically placed into code to limit prostitution by creating an offense for which the payor could also be charged.  The payee could be charged with solicitation, but without the sodomy law the payor would face no penalty.  If only the prostitute was charged, then the 'john' would likely move on to the next prostitute thereby perpetuating the problem.\n\nI believe that in recent years only two instances have occurred (or at least gained national attention) where anti-sodomy laws were used in the case of homosexuals.  \n\nAnd frankly, I am mystified at how someone came up with the idea to use anti-sodomy codes to target homosexuals.  One would think that local police departments have more important matters to attend, thereby leaving the judgement of sin in God's capable hands.


Sometimes  i get very depressed but i don't have any stong reasons for that. And the anxiety breakdowns.........sometimes it's too much. What shall i do?!!?!?!?!

Listen Honey, you have to go to a Doctor. They have medication for this type of thing. You are most likely suffering severe depression and an anxiety disorder which you seemed to have already figured out. You need medication and possibly therapy. There is nothing at all wrong in seeking help. It doesn't mean that you're crazy. If you were crazy, you wouldn't know that anything was wrong with you in the first place. You're not ready for the "foil hat squad" so don't feel that way. Once the medication balances you out, you'll feel much better and things will appear much brighter. Go now and find a Doctor. Good luck. :)


signs of life were detected in the population of American, by a European satalite, but this was later denied by Pres Bush, who stated that in order to vote for him the whole Country MUST be brain dead, whats your view should we blame one man or the whole country?

Signs of life there must be, but there is probably not much sign of intelligent life.\n\nHint: The people who voted for Bush


What tension must a 50.0 cm length of string support in order to whirl an attached 1,000.0 g stone in a circular path at 5.00 m/s?

In this case, the force of tention in the string is equal to the centripital force acting to keep the stone in a ciurcular path.\n\nCentripetal force = m(v^2)/r\nwhere m is the mass, v is speed at which the rock is traveling, and r is the radius.


Take it from a guy who’s been there a few times, I’ve dated many girls who are taller than me. Trust me its not that bad. What really matter is what you got in your head not your height. If you get neck pain, don’t worry you always have something to look at with ought looking at her face. (just kidding) anyways go ahead tall chicks are great and they often have great personalities  since they don’t have to compensate


Hello, I wonder if you can help. My variables don't show up in the dialog boxes. I'm following examples from a book and I set up the variables as directed.I have no idea what could be wrong and I would be most grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

U must have given the name of the variable in the "  ".\nGive it outside double quotes.


Jesus speaking:\nLu 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.\nMark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned\nJohn 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

believe in Jesus, repent of ur sins, and tell other people about.. i think thats right


I like to learn english language.so i would like the way i learn it to easy.\n\nthanks.

I'd say hang around people at school who speak that language. You can also take classes. Like Irish said, the older you are, the harder it is to learn.


They were disks that were grey/brown and as I recall had a slight licorice taste to them. Every body remembers them but I can't find anyone who remembers the name.

I think they were something called "Fisherman's Best" or something like that.  The name had something to do with "fisherman" in it.

1st super bowel teams and who was the winner?


If it means less social programs, then so be it.  Do we think the government can take better care of us than we can take care of ouselves?  Like Katrina?

That has been the Democrat's mantra in recent history. 'We the Democratic Party Leadership knows better how to use your money than you do.'\n\n\nSmaller government is the key. No money for Art programs like Crucifix pieces made of excrement. No handouts to those who don't do anything for themselves and their family (even though they are quite capable). No 'aid' to those that can handle things themselves.\n\nKeep the government along the lines of what it was intended to be. Not a charity, a defender. No a red tape machine, an entity that upholds rights.  No one that PROVIDES the general welfare, but PROMOTES the general welfare.\n\nGet back to people being responsible for themselves, not people handing off responsibility to the government and then using the government as a crutch for the rest of their lives.


I have a sister and she has man and they have a baby together and one on the way and her dud if messing around with a friend of mine shoud i tell her or should i let it get to him and he tell her we have been friends for 20 years i know how she would react whay should i do the girl he is messing with thinks she is preg and it sleeping around with every body in town and thinks it is his but i dont know i think that she thinks it is his because she is scared to realized the fact that she is a "solider"   :(

She's your SISTER.  the dud... lol, I mean the dude is just another n*gga... (crossing racial barriers here), the guy doesn't care if he offends his woman and doesn't care if he sleeps around with God knows how many chics on the side.  of course you should tell her.


A friend of my son's has been advised that she needs to have gastric by-pass surgery or she will be dead within 4 years.  This girl is only in her early 20's.  She lost her job due to health absenteeism so has no job, no insurance, no income.  We are doing fundraisers for her but are coming up way short of what she needs for her surgery. Isn't there some agency out there that we could contact for help?

First contact your Health Department and ask them what they think. Chances are she will be eligible for Medicaid insurance.


There have been a lot of new animals found in the forests of Indonesia.  Here's a story I found on it. Enjoy.\n\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060207/ap_on_sc/indonesia_new_species


Thanks for all those who responded to this question!

Like when your crushing on them. If its possible then how?

You call us "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and even "The Man" and you think it's OK.\n\nBut when we call you, "nigger", "Kike", "Towelhead", "Sand-nigger", "Camel Jockey", "Beaner" or "Chink" you call me a racist.\n\nYou say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live\n\nYou have the United Negro College Fund.\nYou have Martin Luther King Day.\nYou have Black History Month.\nYou have Cesar Chavez Day.\nYou have Yom Hashoah\nYou have Ma'uled Al-Nabi\nYou have the NAACP.\nYou have BET.\n\nIf we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists.\n\nIf we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.\n\nIf we had white history month, we'd be racists.\n\nBlacks are allowed in Miss America...but they still have Miss Black America, If we had Miss White America, we'd be racists\n\nIf we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.\n\nIf we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.\n\nIn the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.\n\nYou are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're\nnot afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.\n\nYou rob us, car-jack us, and shoot at us.\nBut, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.\n\nBut, you call us a racists.\n\nWhy is it that only whites can be racists?

You don't seem racist, just intellectually curious. There's nothing wrong with that. Hopefully this will help with some of your questions. \n\nRacism is a product of institutional ownership. In other words, whites dominate in the most important areas of society. For example, the Federal Reserve Bank controls interest rates, the chairman is always been white. Our highest political offices in this country have typically been held by whites and the white cultural majority dominates mainstream television and other forms of media. Blacks and other minorities have gained considerable influence, but it's just one minority here or there. \n\nWhites have no reason to celebrate racial pride because they wrote the history books. There have been a lot great things contributed to this country by minorities, but we only talk about them for 28 days a year. An African-American would have to take a class specifically designed to educate them about there culture in order to learn about themselves. Whites have only to go to school. Ask a Native American if Christopher Columbus discovered America. They would probably tell you it was never lost. Only from the white, European perspective was this country a discovery. \n\nAs for affirmative action and similar innitatives I'd offer an analogy. I'll challenge you to a mile run. Now here are the conditions:  I get a three quarter-mile head start. With that kind of advantage do you even have a chance to win? Would you even want to race? I doubt it. I do agree that minorities have closed the gap in alot of ways. Maybe affirmative action is less needed at the present time. \n\nI can't refer back to what you've wrote, so I don't remember all of your points. I hope this little bit helps.


heart murmur, allergies to most pain meds, penicillan, and the flu shot. I do not know if I am allergic to idoine or shell fish.

A normal CT is nothing more than a 3D X-Ray, so you should be able to tolerate that quite well.  Sometimes, they administer "contrast" fluid that contains iodine to light up areas of interest on the image.  Talk to your doctor about whether you can tolerate it.  It presents no problem for the vast majority of patients.  Your health condition should not make it unsafe for you to have a CT, as long as you can lie still for several minutes at a time.


WE WANT TO RAISE CHICKENS FOR THEIR EGGS AND TO EAT.\nWHICH KIND OF CHICKEN WOULD BE BETTER EQUIPPED FOR THOSE \nCHARACTERISTICS.

turkins.(bald necks) they lay very well. they're also very good mothers! itll be easier to get at least one rooster and the rest hens and keep the rooster and one of his fav. hens. if his fav. hen will most likely sit on some eggs of hers and then the eggs will hatch and then u wont have to order anymore chickens! \nsome turkins dont get to much meat on them.

I am wondering who might be the MOST astonishingly correct "super-psychic" out there.  If anyone could give me some names and contact info, that would be great.

I didn’t know open ticket will create such problem. I also took the certificate not for job but it’s my habit and to show that I work and study in my country to the immigration officer incase they might ask about me. But they thought that I am here to fine job. However my sister and I have planned that I want to come for job and study further after completing my course in my country. Later when, mother in law of my sister came to airport to pick me up then she said that I am coming there for working for six month, but she didn’t knew that it is after completing my course in my country. Then the immigration people sent me back by mistaking me. My sister is more upset than me. I can’t appeal but my passport is taken my immigration people and they are trying to take money from us though everything is genuine. It has been more than one month and they are not giving my passport. They put in prison for two days as they try to show my passport is fake. What should I do now? I want to see sis.

Please tell me why it is so important to have engineering standards? Why it is important in our everyday life?

Standards are important because it ensures that people can use the same components worldwide. For example, standards make sure that people who own cameras can find the film they need for them anywhere around the globe.


Which led to a child being so upset(After many incidences of being grabbed and asked for sexual favors by boys with nothing being done to the boys after numerous trips to the office to complain) she began cutting herself and then just snapped one day after an incident and kicked her vice principal while being restrained?

The school should definitely be held accountable for not intervening and stopping the harassment.  They are responsible for investigating claims, such as the girls, and acting on the proper disciplinary methods to prevent it from happening again. I do hope that her parents moved her to another school. A school is supposed to be a learning (educational) environment free of harassment of any kind. We all know that it does happen. However, if she reported the incidents and pleaded for help then, the school should be sued over it. I would get a copy of the schools code of conduct as grounds and  more than likely her parents would have to file the suit, (assuming she is a minor).


Am I just getting old or does anyone remember the show 'Land of the Lost'? It was back in the 70's. Anyone else like it?\nAlso anyone remember the candy bar called the Marathon Bar?

My blood sugar level has always been low. It has usually run between 70 and 80.  The past 2 times i have checked it, it has been 154 and 130.  Should I be concerned about diabetes?

A normal blood sugar level is between 80 - 100.  You should be checked out by an endocrinologist (specialist-Diabetes).\nA A1C hemoglobin blood test should be run...that will tell the doctor your blood sugars averages for the last 3 months.\nWATCH YOUR CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE...EX: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc.. Good luck


Nope, since American Cancer Society continues to fund animal research - and seems to not even consider the incredibly abundant and accurate amount of non-animal projects out there that are making headway.  I'm not an activist nutjob - so don't get on my case, but I am smart and humane enough to see that there are real alternatives.  But I digress - just go to http://www.pcrm.org for more info in that vein from thousands of actual doctors and scientists.  \n\nIf you're like me and you do want to support the fight against cancer - but in a humane way - there are many, many groups that support non-animal cancer research, for example, The Garland Appeal http://www.garlandappealusa.com created by Paul McCartney in memory of his late wife, Linda.\n\nAnyway, I will not be supporting the Relay for Life, although I will support other cancer-fighting activities and have the utmost respect and best wishes to all those whose lives have been touched by cancer.

What are the ABC's used by doctor and nurses in the ER for trauma situations?

Airway - Make sure there is nothing blocking the mouth or trachea\nBreathing - Oxygen is forced into the patient either via mouth-to-mouth or an air bag\nCirculation (or Compression) - The chest is compressed to circulate blood, thus moving oxygen to the vital organs.


I wanna tell her something that will just blow her mind away, make her speechless for awhile, but fall in love again. She says she falls in love with me everyday, but i want to say something that will totally shock her.

Sit quietly for a while.  Think about her.  Feel how it is to be with her.  Imagine her standing directly behind you.\nTell her what is in your heart.\nThen quickly write done what you said.  You might forget in the excitement.


I am in Jordan working for a GIS company. I applied for MSc program in ITC, Holland. I have one problem left, which is that I do not have enough money to cover my study.


A. their blood pressure becomes elevated, forcing more fluid into interstitial spaces as blood hydrostatic pressure rises. \n\nB. lack of motor activity leads to reduced sympathetic stimulation to lymphatic vessels, so lymph tends to pool. \n\nC. without skeletal muscle contraction to force lymph through lymphatic vessels, fluid tends to accumulate in interstitial spaces \n\nD. reduced vasomotor tone allows proteins to leak from plasma, and water follows the osmotic gradient. \n\nE. heart rate and force of contraction are reduced, so the pressure gradient is insufficient to maintain lymph flow.

If I were taking this test I feel 90% sure that the correct would be "C".  I just finished taking the cardiovascular section of my physiology class in my first year of medical school.  More specifically:\n\nA. their blood pressure becomes elevated, forcing more fluid into interstitial spaces as blood hydrostatic pressure rises. PEOPLE STANDING WITHOUT MOVING TEND TO HAVE EDEMA IN THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF HYDROSTATIC PRESSURES, BUT THIS SHOULDN'T APPLY TO LYING DOWN.\n\nB. lack of motor activity leads to reduced sympathetic stimulation to lymphatic vessels, so lymph tends to pool. \nLYMPHATICS DO NOT HAVE SYMPATHETIC INNERVATION\n\nC. without skeletal muscle contraction to force lymph through lymphatic vessels, fluid tends to accumulate in interstitial spaces \n\nD. reduced vasomotor tone allows proteins to leak from plasma, and water follows the osmotic gradient. LYING DOWN SHOULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON BLOOD PROTEIN LEAKAGE (VASOMOTOR TONE?)\n\nE. heart rate and force of contraction are reduced, so the pressure gradient is insufficient to maintain lymph flow. \nYOUR BARORECEPTOR RESPONSE IS SUFFICIENT TO REGULATE BLOOD PRESSURES AND THUS PRESSURE GRADIENTS.
