Something that doesn't have unbelievable instructions. Something that simplifies it so I can do better with my grades... my mom just bitched at me.

It depends on what kind of writing you are talking about. If it is handwriting, it is just a matter of practice. If it is creating sentence structure, you might try going to the library and asking the librarian what you need. They have books on writing from grade school through college and alot of them simplified. If it is writing style, I use a little book my college english teacher recommended called The Pocket Handbook by Kirszner and Mandell. It seems overwhelming when you first look at it, but if you actually take the time to read it, it is pretty simple and straight forward. It indicates MLA style. For other styles, Spark has cheater charts at barnes and nobles for $5 that are quick and easy to use. It is all cut down to common sense, no frills. I don't have advice for the web, but I hope these things can help. =)


Do surfactants like Tween or Span denature DNA or Proteins under RT conditions?

Tween is so gentle it doesnt usually even denature protein-it merely aids in solubility and dissociation of loosely bound protein complexes.  Tween is used in studies in which the 3-D structure of protein, and the protein function, is required, such as gel-shift assays.  For denaturing, you need something like SDS, as strong detergent.  Tween does not denature DNA.


My ins. adjuster gave a me a 1900 est. to fix the damages to my car with my 500 ded. that is 2400.  I got an est. for 1400. minus my 500 ded that will be 900 the ins pays. Will the insurance company still try to total my car or get it fixed the value of my car is 2100 which won't pay it off and will leave me with no car.

This varies state by state. In some states you are allowed to owner retain you vehicle.  Check with your state insurance commissioner

soil erosion is most common..soil looses its fertility making it useless for agricultural purposes


How easy would it be for you to chuck it all, get rid of everything you own - everything - except some photos, a few changes of clothes? Basically everything except what you could fit in a van.\n\nIf you could not, how would you handle it if it were forced on you say by an act of nature.

It's funny, there are times in my life I've wanted to, just to start all over again. I came close when we moved to our new house. Packing stuff up, I debated whether or not to just chuck everything and start fresh. It can rejuvenating I think. On Chinese New Year it’s the reason you clean house and are only supposed to wear brand-new clothes. You also make dumplings as a way to symbolically seal all the “old stuff” away - all the negative things that might have accumulated over the old year.


There is a company that is giving away the PS3. They work through referal links in three steps: first you sing up and complete an offer (some offers are free), second you refer 8 friends, third your friends complete the offer and then you wait for your plastation 3. This is the link>>> http://ps3s.freepay.com/?r=25537166 This website already gave me an ipod video 30gb. This is so cool. You should check it out.

b)less,because while you exercising your lungs needs more extra oxygen,makes your body need to breath more air


That is a great question!!  I use to hand out bible tracts and witness to people a few years ago.  One thing I noticed was they would often **push** Christianity on people, rather than **offer** it to people.  I had the philosophy of offering it to people, either accept or reject and was always polite. I had a bible tract tossed in my face by a very angry young serviceman that just returned from Iraq, but I understood and wasn't upset, He thought I was an Anti-War protestor.  I witnessed to gays, drunks, homeless, thugs, punks, and many others.  I never condemned anyone to Hell.  The two big mistakes!\nFirst Mistake Christian Witnesses make is being Rude, Scary and or out of place.  Second Mistake is pushing Christianity on People instead of offering it.\nHere are my bad experiances!!\n- A Christian woman about 20 years old comes-up to me and starts witnessing to me and grabbing my arm and has a crazed look in her eyes, demanding I pray with her. I DIDN'T KNOW HER!!!\n- "You're gonna burn in HELL!" - All I did was walk past him!!\nBeing corner by four Christian men all coming at me about the Love of Christ and intimidating me at the same time! I thought I was going to get beat-up!\nI learned what NOT to do from them!


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


I am so sick that all you guys care about is if some girl is a size 2.... there could be a girl who is 5'8" 160 lbs...which is not THAT freakin big and you guys call her a little fat chic. what is up with that B.S.??

Guys won't change.  If there is to be change, it must be you.  Maybe those numbers aren't too bad, but it tells us what the future will bring.  Eventually it'll be 210, 280, whatever, because your appetites have control over you, just like any junkie.\n\nYou could change:

"Concerned with the trendy, technocratic, and at times sophistical character of contemporary education at all levels, both public and private, the authors of this collection seek to reinvigorate a Thomistic approach to education appropriate to the problems of our day. With its main inspiration taken from the work of Jacques Maritain, especially his 1943 Education at the Crossroads, the volume presents a trenchant critique of the "privacies" of contemporary education, with its emphasis upon the conventional and useful. At the same time, the essays present the outlines of the proper alternative, an education which helps students draw out from themselves the desire for truths which transcend the contingencies of culture and utility. Such an education seeks to guide students to "the common things" available to all human beings. \n\n\nThe essays uphold an account of man's intellectual and affective capacities which understands these capacities as naturally ordered to truth. The essays approach the task in different but complementary ways: in critiques of contemporary theories of education, in speculative accounts of knowledge and learning, in applications of theory to specific institutional settings, and in discussions of the political contexts governing modern education. In this rich variety of ways, the essays in The Common Things not only point the way back to the crossroads Maritain spoke of fifty years ago; they go on to indicate something of the landscape along the road not taken by contemporary education."


my father was in u.s.air force in england and married my mother there. i was born in england and came over here at 2 yrs old. been here 50 yrs. all i have is a british birth certificate. i went on a cruise and almost could not get back in country. they say i have no proof of u.s. citizenship.

start by contacting the Veterans Administration.  There should be a local office near you, depending on the size of town you live in.  You will need some information before you go to them.  For example, your dad's legal name, date of birth, and social security number.  Also, you should have been registered with the US Embassy, London.  You could also look there.


I talk to people from other churches and they seem kinda bland in their belief... they talk against drinking, stealing, drugs, and sex(before you marry)... but they say this with a cigarette in ther hand?!?!

its a two part answer imo. First there are your perceptions as to what a church needs to have in order to be strong in spirit. Usually its a mix of a lot of different things but on some level you probably feel like they arent getting the job done in one way or another. And thats fine but you have to remember that there are other consideratiosn to look at as well. \n\nBigger churches tend to have more members...this seems kind of silly to state but its a real concern that most people tend to forget. With more people come a broader range of ideas, which means that different people may see strength in spirit as a different thing than you do. Also larger churches are expected to be a little broader in their scope, to fit the needs of a somewhat larger congregation. This means they are going to do some different things than maybe a smaller church would which can identify with the needs of a smaller group of people.\n\nmy advice would be to find a church that you feel is strong in spirit no matter what the size is. Its most likely going to be the case that no church will ever quite fit the mold of being in the right all the time, so find the one that your most comfortable in and do your best to contribute to that church in whatever way seems best.


i like my friend. but i just dont know if i want him, because the last guy i went out with was a friend and then after our relationship he made rumors about me and made me cry 4 a week, and he wasn't my friend ne more. i am afraid that will happen w/ this guy 2. should i go 4 it or no, i dont want 2 break up our friendship, buy i like him a lot,  my friends also say he likes me. what should i do?

friends can become lovers...and lovers can become friends...if you both like each other you should risk it...


I have read a few questions and answers.  I am aware of prices and risks.  Can anyone who has had this surgery tell me about the prep before the surgery.  Someone said he had to wear his glasses for a few weeks right before he had it done.  And any other side effects other than the halo light?  Also, I read a few people said about only getting 1 eye done so they could read...I don't understand this?  Why only 1 eye, wouldn't it be blurry trying to see like that?  I know when I have 1 contact out it is not that easy to see.  But, anyways, I'd appreciate some opinions and feedback!  Thanks!\nPrep

You'll need to wear your glasses (leave your contacts out) for two weeks prior to surgery (that's the FDA recommended waiting time for soft contact wearers -- it's longer for people with hard contacts of toric or RPG lenses).  This is necessary because your contact lenses change the shape of your eye; you want your eyes to get back to normal before they start up that laser, otherwise they'd be doing surgery on a surface that's still changing!\n\nAs for getting the eyes done together or at different times...\n\nThese days, most people who have Lasik get both eyes done at once.  If you have them done separately, you'll find that it isn't at all like when you take one lens out right now.  As soon as the surgery is over, you'll start seeing an improvement, so the vision in your "corrected" eye and the vision in the other eye (with the contact lens) are going to be a lot closer than you think. \n\nI got mine done 1 month apart because I was having PRK (which has a longer healing time) and they wanted to make sure that Eye #1 was responding well before doing Eye #2.  For two weeks before the second surgery, I had to wear my glasses, so I just popped one lens out of the frame.  It looked a little goofy but it was well worth it knowing I'd never have to wear those glasses or lenses again! \n\nOther than that, there's not much prep involved until you get to the doctor's office and they give you some drops and maybe some medication.\n\nAfterwards, there can be side effects, some more likely than others.  Glare and halos are most common.  It's also possible that your vision may not become "perfect" afterwards, and you have to accept that possibility.  Mine isn't perfect, probably because my eyes were so horrible to begin with (-9) -- but I still consider this surgery the best thing I could ever have done for myself and my health!  Do I get halos?  Yes, at night, and I still say it's worth it!  Pick a doctor who has a great reputation.  Don't be afraid to google him or her to look into his credentials.


in the US army what why shoud i fallow orders

The first and most important reason for following orders and the main reason why any individual get into hot water for not, is that you swear an oath to do so. \n\n"I, (state your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." \n\nYou see the part that I underlined (ok this software will not underline)so this part (I will obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me.) \nBefore you ever go to any training you have swear or affirm to this oath if not you don’t get to play in the big leagues.\n You may wish to check \nTitle 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 with amendment effective 5 October 1962.\n\nAlso this site explains the oath in great detail but you have to scroll down a bit to find the wording also the oath is different for enlisted, officers and National Guard members\n\nAll the best;\n\nhttp://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj02/win02/keskel.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_enlistment


My hubby wants to get a new computer but his office is already cluttered with spare parts used to fix the 2 computers he's already put together.  What do I do with this stuff?

it's very important that the hard drive be thoroughly "cleaned" first.  I don't mean to blow out the dust -- I mean to erase all the data, and possibly reinstall Windows if you think the computer may be useful to someone.\n\nSchools may accept them, or possibly Goodwill.  There are companies that will accept computers and related hardware and give it to charities for you.  If you let us know the general area where you live (Toledo, Phoenix, Glasgow?) someone may have more specific ideas.


The Cleveland Cavaliers played the Washington Wizards at Washington for Game 3. The Wizards led by as much as 19 points in the first half, but after the half, the Cavs came to win the game!(Now they're 2-1)

Well put Sonic.  Both teams will play well the rest of the way, and I think that the Cavs will pull it out.  LeBron is the future of the NBA, and Kobe's not really old, either, he's not going anywhere for ten years.  But no one will get passed the Pistons, so forget about it.


I'm Cuban and now I'm learning to speak English\n\nCould you please tell me what lol means??????

It isn't formal English , so you won't be using it in conversation . It was invented by the computer geeks ( like me ) because we're too lazy to actually type the words ' laughing out loud ' so , LOL .

Everyones heard about Disney having hidden "dirty" things in thier movies.  How many occurences can you name and which movies?\n\nExample:  Aladin - when Aladin was looking in Jasmines window,and Genie was flying around him, Aladin says "take your clothes off"

In the Jungle Book..Baloo is singing "Bear Necessities". There's a pause in the middle when he's looking for a tree to scratch his back with. He says it fast but he DOES say "s h i t  I got to find myself a tree". And on the cover of the Little Mermaid movie..smack dab in the middle of all the golden spires of Atlantis was a big honkin' penis. It was beautiful. Put mine to shame. That's all I can remember.


I just want to know if you would buy anything from this website... http://www.freewebs.com/thecoppercoconut/

Interested in applying for a job with emirates which was resently advertised in the papers for interested Kenyans.

You can apply for an administrative job in the airline such as ticketing or accounting or as airport personnel.  They will not require the passport at first, upon application but if you want to get promoted to other jobs within the airline that will require you to travel, they will eventually ask you to get a passport.


I can only access the computer using a users account and this account has no full authority to access or install in the computer but I do not want to format the operating system.

Try the offline Windows NT Password Editor.  Or alternatively try booting into safe mode and typing in administrator at the login prompt.  A lot of the time that USER ID has no password but can usually only be accessed by booting into safe mode

This will warm your heart, especially if you have lost faith in human kindness. This letter was sent to the principal's office after an elementary school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady had received a new radio at the lunch as a prize, and was writing to say thank you. \nDear Staff and Students,\nGod bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens' luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at an Assisted Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and always had her own radio. Before I received this one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping. The other day, her radio fell off the night stand and broke into a lot of little pieces. She was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I said fuck you. Thank you for that opportunity.  \n\nSincerely, Agnes

I guess I read the letter a little different than you. Rather than reinforcing my belief in human kindness it strengthens my faith in the old adage "that what goes around comes around". Glad the 84 year old got her revenge.


who has had a similiar type thing.   ok, my q is before they shocked you back to life/became conscious what did you see? did you see heaven?  please be honest. did you see "the land down under?"   what did you see (or hear)!

First you feel yourself falling like when you have anaesthetic, and you feel weird. Then I saw myself in a narrow tunnel,there was a bright white light at one end and the operating room at the other end. I could hear everything that was being said. Before I was brought back I technically died and could tell everyone after what they said and did and the comments they made...I could see them as if I was looking down the tunnel at them and then when I was coming back I was floating above them looking down as if in spirit...when they were losing me again I was once again in the tunnel going towards the light. I fought to keep away from being dragged towards the light,,it was a struggle, I knew the light meant death and I didn't want to die but I felt lazy and tired and wanted to give up but I had to fight to live because I thought about the grief of my family. It's a feeling of being pulled towards the light as if by a magnet and as if I had a magnet on me and I had to brace myself against the walls of the tunnel and pull back. It was really scary but didn't hurt. If I didn't have anyone or anything to live for It would have been easy to go towards the light because when I didn't fight it I was floating and seeing visions of my life flashing before me. I don't remember seeing any bad things just comforting things and happy times-it was peaceful.


The electric field will be repellent between protons, attractive between a proton and an electron.\n\nThere is, of course, the nuclear force--which is exerted only at extremely close range, and is an attractive force.\n\nThere is also the gravitational force between them, also attractive, but it's pretty trivial with such microscopic masses, unless you get unthinkably close.\n\nGravity, of course, would be there between the proton and the electron, but it's a whale of a lot more feeble between that pair than between a pair of protons...


if you do can you tell me about them on a middle school age level.

Non-vascular plants do not have vascular systems to carry water, nutrients, ant the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant. Non-vascular plants include mosses, ferns, hornworts, and liverworts. The mosses, hornworts, and liverworts all transport water by osmosis so they cannot grow very large. This is why they must live so close to water. Ferns have a primitive forrunner of a vascular system, but it is not really a real vascular system because they do not have true roots, and also lack xylem, which is a type of cell that carries water and nutrients up the plant, and phloem, which are cells that can carry water, nutrients, and the products of photosythesis throughout the plant. If you have any more questions, I'll check back here for updates if this was helpfull at all.


anyone know about bi polar or borderline personality or other mood disorders

Yes I do, my mother was diagnosed with both. What do you want to know about them, need more info.\n\nEmotional highs and lows are part of life for everyone. But for someone with bipolar disorder, these ups and downs can be so extreme they can interfere with daily life. Sometimes they can even be dangerous.\n\nBorderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that causes unstable emotions, impulsiveness, relationship problems, and an unstable self-image. People with the disorder often behave self-destructively, have problems managing anger, and have an intense fear of being rejected and left alone (abandoned). They often also struggle with other conditions such as depression, eating disorders, or substance abuse problems.


I feel I have made some good friends here, and I would like to ask for your prayers (or just your well wishes if you don't believe in prayer).  \n\nI suffer from Depression.  If you don't know, Depression is a physical problem, not a mental one.  It is a physical problem with the brain, and "depression" is really only one symptom of "Depression."  My medicine is not working now, I have no insurance, I am unable to work, and I am scared.  I have suffered from this disease since 1st grade, and it has gotten worse and worse over the years.  I have tried numerous medicines, and while some work at first, over time none have been effective.  I am afraid that I am going to have to be hospitalized again.  If I am, we will amost certainly have to file bankruptcy.  I probably should try to get disability, but my depression prevents me from making the effort to find out what is involved.  Please pray for me, and my wife.  Thank you, friends, and God Bless.

I'm so sorry for you.and i can understand how you feeling.sure I'll pray for you a lot and you have my well wishing too\ngood bless you my friend


Come on, I know someone can rationalize skipping class...\n\nI commute to school which is about an hour away, and takes up 1/4 of a take of gas (4 gallons) roundtrip.  My 11:20 am class got cancelled...so that means I only have one class to attend at 3:35 pm.  Do I drive 1 hour each way, and waste approximately $9 on gas to go a useless class?\n\nI could stay home, work on one of my term papers and get in a hardcore workout instead...?  Any dillusional rationalizations are welcome.

Why can't you work on your term paper at the university library or computer lab?  Why do you have to be at your house to work on it?  How about your school's gym?  Why not use that till class starts.\n\nI know sometimes it sucks to have to go to class, but you're paying a lot of money to just be enrolled.  What if very important stuff is given in lecture that will be on the midterm or final?\n\nHow about pop quizzes or an in class assignment that could really hurt your grade if you miss?\n\nI suggest going and finding something to do on campus (such as the library or gym like I said previously) before class.


what happened to other countries or something related! anything would work!

The Great Depression of the late 20's and 30's was felt in all western industrialised nations. Nations that were mainly agrarian (based on agriculture) were little affected by it. Here, in Australia, (I'm guessing that you are in the USA) we had most of the workforce unemployed, businesses bankrupt, starvation and poverty rampant - as did all industrialised countries. Now that governments realise that it isn't all that important to balance the budget, they can start to spend, reduce tax or reduce interest rates (use methods to stimulate spending) if they see the economy heading down. These tools stimulate spending and give the economy a boost.heading that way.


How do u make NaOH ???? i asked a kid in the 12th grade, he said take Na, Heat it and dump it in heated H20 hahahaha      lol.  How DO u make NaOH without causing an explosion

I will make NaOH from the electrolysis of brine(saturated NaCl solution) using graphite anode and mercury cathode. On electrolysis, sodium will combine with mercury to form sodium amalgam(Na/Hg). Then make that sodium amalgam to combine with water(H20) so that we can get NaOH.


Im constantly sad, always feeling hopeless like nothings every going to work out. Im 2.5 months late on my period. I always feels nervous, Im constantly checking the door locks, the stove, washer/dryer, microwave. Im 100% scared of the dark. The always worried the smoke alarms are going to go off, therefore I never cook on the stove/oven anymore. I worry about the computer being on for long period of time, in my mind I see it blowing up, catching fire. Im always alone, & I cry quite a bit. When my Mom leaves for work, I always check her cigarettes to make sure theyre out. Everything has to be clean and in order, my order. If its not, it has to be fixed, asap. I hardly ever sleep, and I mean hardly ever! Ive also posted another one of these about my stomach problems.\n\nSo if anyone has any comments, I'd love to hear them. Sorry I wrote so much, it just feels so good to get it all out. Thanks for listening =]

symptoms point to either Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  Probably the first one.  Yeah, probably GAD and you should see someone soon before you get an ulcer.  See, when your anxious, your sympathetic nervous system kicks into gear increasing your heart rate, breathing, sweating, etc.  as well as slowing down digestion in the stomach.  When the parasympathetic takes over after the anxiety is gone, your stomach starts to secrete HCL Acid.  When you go back and forth, it's like driving a car when you're 15 - you hit the gas too hard, then hit the breaks, hit the gas too hard, hit the breaks.  Over time, this can eat holes in your stomach lining.  You should see a doctor soon.  Make an appointment with a Psychologist.  He can then refer you to the appropriate doctor to make a diagnosis and get you on some anti-anxiety meds.


Ferdinand for England...might just be one but it will be costly because it will most likely be in the 2nd or 3rd round.Against a strong team like Italy,reason I say that because Totti will show up this WC,unlike his last ones where he has disappointed everyone.He is going to play with a chip on his shoulder after the injury he had this season,he can't be stopped.


I'm really good at genetics and biology but my passion is acting.

Go into the medical field and do acting on the side.  I'm a musician who went into computers and man am I glad I did.  Most of the professional musicians I know see music as work and they are all poor. I'm very well off and love music still.  It is my hobby.


Gosh, it's one of the larger size programs, do I need to have that installed, what does it do???

Java software allows you to run applications called "applets" that are written in the Java programming language. These applets allow you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D. Corporations also use applets for intranet applications and e-business solutions.


does itbother u when u see your boyfriends eyes turning towards females when hes driving or out with you somwhere?

If you're in a trusting relationship, it all depends on expectations.  Obviously, he should respect you enough not to cheat, but if you let him know that you are uncomfortable with his actions, he should care enough about you to at least tone it down.  It's natural to admire people of the opposite (or same, if you swing that way) gender, but it's not okay to be overly gawking if you are in a commited relationship.  I always try to join in on the action by agreeing with him.  Is it enough to know at the end of the day that he's going home with you?


I am a novice soccer fan, and do not completely understand it when the official blows his whistle for an "offsides" call. Just what exactly constitutes "offsides"? Can anyone help me?

Offsides happens when an offensive player is between the goalie and the last defensive player and in front of the ball WHEN THE BALL IS PLAYED by his teammate.  He does not have to play the ball, but has to be part of the play.  It can be rather complicated but I hope that helps you understand.\n\nThat is not the exact rule, but it can be found here:\nhttp://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tips_Dictionary_Terms_O.shtml#offside_rule\n\nand here:\nhttp://www.fifa.com/en/regulations/regulation/0,1584,3,00.html\n\nOh and the first answer is not even close to being right.

I'm 27, and I get these headaches where I lose partial vision and can't make sense of anything. People talk to me and I can't answer them in full sentences.  Or I forget how to say the word I'm thinking of.  My hands go numb and I'm very confused and disoriented.  I've noticed that it happens more when I'm stressed out.  But they happen sometimes when I'm driving and I have to pull over untill it fades.  I know it's some kind of migraine, but no one can give me any information.  I've had CAT scans and blood tests just to be told the same thing.... "I don't know what you can do."  My headaches pretty much run my life.  I'll plan to do something and wont be able to because one of these spells will come on.  I've had to quit jobs and cancel functions.  Does anyone else get these kind of headaches or, can anyone give me any info????

My wife went through the same thing.  They found out that it was because her boby had to much insulin.  When they got her insulin levels corrected the headaches went away.  She had all of the same symptoms that you do with the dizzyness, vision, speach, loss of thought.  They actually at one point said that she had a mini-stroke.  If you need more info. e-mail me.  theoasis_ccna@yahoo.com


People invent in precious metals because they have intrinsic value that will remain, even after say a nuclear Holocaust.\n\nWhile gold/silver have a lot of value, I was thinking that I could probably do better with copper and tin, they are easy to work with, and you can make bronze quite easily with them.  I am aware that buying copper and tin is a poor investment decision, and won't really help me in a survival situation, but what I want to know, is it possible to buy bars of copper and tin (say one or two), and where would I do it?\n\nI say again, I want these bars purely for fun, not as any rational investment.  Thank you.

Best thing would be to go to a pawn/antique shop, buy a bunch of stuff made with those metals, melt them down, and make a bar.\n\nIndividual investors cannot just buy a bar of metal.. however since those metals are more common, go to Home Depot and look for them, ie. Copper Wire. \n\nIf you want to invest in them to make money because you think their price will go up, buy an ETF or a large producer/distributor of those metals, stock.


They say they're gonna train me and then give me a job. While I get trained... do I get paid? thanks a lot\nAlso how much can I earn without them taking out my ssi + ssdi paycheck? thanks a lot

Yes, you can continue to get SSI and SSDI if you work. If you earn less than $860 a month your benefits will continue, but they will reduce the amount they pay you based on how much you earn. I believe that the formula is the amount you earn in a month minus $85, then divide that by 2 and that is the amount they will subtract from you check. When you are going through the rehabilitation training they do not pay you or reduce your benefits until you actually are hired by a company. Also, they will not give you a job, they will help you find one.


Lot has changed since the Grizzlies left. We got Steve Nash and now Vancouver is really got some basketball goin. So will they get anouther team now that things have changed?

Well, Vancouver is a  huge city so it has a chance of getting a new frachise to come there. I don't blame their fans for not coming to their games because they sucked at that time too. Seattle Sonics might have to move to another city and Vancouver sounds like a solid option. Other cities have lost a frachise and gotten it back in the past: Charlotte and New Orleans in the NBA. Cleveland in the NFL.

.. Why?\n\nWas he bored or something? I mean, if he created everything so his son can die for everyone to weep and praise him for all eternity.. isn't that being really egotistical?\n\nI mean..

You know, like spring has s-p-r, so there are three...is there a word that has a lot more or not?

SCHTSCHUROWSKIA is what I found in a yahoo web search but word was not on dictionary.com so not sure. "it is some sort of botanica"\n\nAWKWARD is an interesting one\n\nTWYNDYLLYNGS - 12 letter word with no vowel\nTwyndyllyngs is the longest word in English that doesn't contain one of the five vowels (AEIOU). It comes from Welsh and is obviously rare, but it does appear in the Oxford English Dictionary. \n\nIt turns out that "twyndyllyng" (singular) is a 15th century spelling of the word "twinling," which means, in modern English, "twin." \n\n\nHIRSCHSPRUNG'S - another word with 7 straight consanants meaning some type of disease I think

You know you are right.  We should just let bi-gones be bi-gones.  Every time someone attacks the USA we should turn the other cheek.  As a matter of fact we should remove our soldiers and diplomats from all other countries.

i asked him to go to my gradution he said yes and we talk everyday does he like me

sounds to me you guys are just really goood best friends. if he didnt like you a little bit he would be saying no. your graduation. is a big thing. He wanted to be there and congrate you on your special day. who knows what guys are always thinking, they are really hard to read. but who knows maybe he likes you and maybe he just wants to friends.\ntake it easy and dont rush into any wierd questions. guys dont like to be put on the spot they hate that. so if you did that already, you prob, didnt like your answer, cause they always try to find a way out.


my girl and i were studying in the same tutions. but didn't speak to each very much. can u please tell me how to approach her and talk to her about my feelings?\n\ni have also lost her contact now, how can i find her again?

Be your self and always wear a smile. What do you have in common that you know of? Try to bring it up and see how she reacts. But always, be yourself!


How are the lenses shaped? I know they are shaped one way for near sightedness and another for far sightedness. I'm kind of both so how do they shape mine?

You have two main options - Varifocals (which strictly speaking aren't BIfocals) adjust the prescription gradually the entire way up the lens. This results in the bottom of the lens correcting for close work, and the top of the lens correcting for distance vision.\n\nThe second option is through a technique called monovision. Remember one "set" of glasses contains two entirely seperate lenses - one for each eye. In monovision, each lens only corrects for one distance and your brain does the rest of the work in deciding which image to use.\n\nBecoming more popular thanks to recent advances in LASIK and the permanency of the procedure, monovision takes three to four weeks to adjust to and isn't guaranteed - some patients have trouble adjusting and a trial period with contact lenses simulating the corrections is recommended.

Acetic Acid used for coagulated Natural Latex and after few days it is diluted with foam colour brown. Though we mixed chemicals with natural latex in our compounding section. After latex go through the Acid bath the remaining water and chemicals must retain in acid tray, thus in which way we can purify the acid up to 99%.

your question is unclear. you want 100% purity or 99% purity?

I'm trying to compare human and orangutan hand morphology based on skeletal evidence and the orangutan has additional and larger/rougher tubercles for the attachment of this muscle.  I'm assuming that this means that the muscle is larger/stronger than its human counterpart, but I don't quite know what effect this would have on the size of the carpal tunnel.

I think that you can't tell just by knowing that the tubercles are larger in orangutangs.  I think you would have to measure, you also need to know that their nerves and vessels may all be larger as well to fit the larger carpel tunnel.  Are you trying to determine if orangutangs are less suceptible to having carpal tunnel syndrome by studying their anatomical features?  Interesting concept.  By the way, the flexor retinaculum is a tendonous sheath, not a muscle.


When i enter my id and password it gives me a message saying messenger can't connect along with some proxy settings to choose from. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work.

This problem maight be occuring because a fiewall is blocking msn messenger, try adding msn messenger to you exeptions list, if this doesn't work, then it must be the firewall in your route, if you have a router, try portwarding msn messenger so it doesn't get blocked by your firewall.

Because i rely in others opinion of me so much. In middle school everyone called me ugly so i was depressed a lot! Now my peers and older guys think i'm cute so i'm a lot more upbeat (and a little arrogant) but i still act shy around anyone who is cutter than me (in my opinion, that's nearly everyone). How about some advice for a 15 year old freshman with self-esteem issues.

A piece of advice from me to you, and I swear by this!!!\n\nIf people don't like you for who you are, they can go jump off a bridge!!!\n\nBe cute, have fun, and don't let other people make you feel bad.  You are you, and they should accept that, and you should accept yourself for who you are too.

A. filtered fluid to epithelial cells, to intersitial fluid to peritubular capillaries. \nB. filtered fluid to interstitial fluid, to epithelial cells, to peritubular capillaries. \nC. peritubular capillaries to interstitial fluid, to epithelial cells, to filtered fluid. \nD. vasa recta to epithelial cells, to interstitial fluid, to filtered fluid. \nE. peritubular capillaries to epithelial cells, to interstitial fluid, to filtered fluid.

correct answer is A.  filtered plasma moves transcellularly through the epithelial cells into the interstitial space and then from there back into the blood supply (peritubular capillaries).


I would like to know Holy Friday feast as it is celebrated by the Roman Catholics.

Then you should ask those who are Roman Catholics, maybe they know more about it. But why do you ask?\n\nI overheard my friend said that holy Friday celebration begin after the God's rebirth but I forgotten the details about it. Maybe it could be wrong because I wasn't quite listening when he was telling the other person about it.


feces is the thing that comes out of your butt... while puke is the thing that you vomit...

i have a total of about 14 gb storage on my laptop, and i want more.  i want a 250 gb external hard drive.  but i only have usb 1 ports, not usb 2.  wil this work? or will it just be really slow? i also only hav 256 ram.  should i get more? and my computer is a sony pentium 3. maybe like 5 years old or so.

Yes, all the new USB 2.0 products are made to work with older USB 1.0 machines.  Check the specs of the exernal to be sure.  If it says "backwards compatible" it will work fine.\n\nYour memory is fine too, unless you are a gamer or do graphics, then you might need more.

number of protons.  How is this possible if they vary based on these elements?  I believe \nthat the key words are "neutral atoms", but is my understanding of "neutral atoms" \ninaccurate?

They have the same number of electrons and protons *relative to each other*.  \n\nFor example: carbon has 6 protons in it's nucleus, and therefore has 6 electrons to be neutral.  It's atomic number also happens to be 6 :-)


I need to tone and trim my thighs, but dont have alota time to be going to the gym......are there any good works outs at home or outside that "will" work?

I subscribed to MLB audio hve been billed twice. Trying to contact them they do not answer their phones or emails.

I had the same thing happen to me but i was billed 2wice by the NFL audio do what I did I didnt pay my bill they called me then i explained it to them that they billed me twice and they waived the late fee and i paid for the bill. If it doesnt work just send in one bill with it paid and act like you never got the second one ethier way works just form personal dealings with them.


I've been there, so yeah. The problem I found wasn't that I enjoyed masterbation over sex, it was that I preferd masterbation to HER! The problem went away after she did.

3 times.\nThe worst case scenario is if you pull one color and then the other.  Then last one will then had to be either one.

my friend's mom is trying to kill herself and has gone to the mental hospital sometimes\nshe and her family have to go vistt pychiratists daily and she and her sister might be sent to foster care..what do i do?\nhow do i help her?

Praying is a worthwhile option but be careful to pray to your own God. imagine the most loving, forgiving, caring, patient, headstrong and determined person you can and ask for their help. but beware cults like Jehovahs, Catholics, born agains etc. I don't codemn them but they have many pitfalls (they all believe they are divine yet few show any signs of it). If possible ask the mother to get an allergy test...be aware of her environment, diet etc. You'd be suprised how something as simple as dairy milk or sugar can affect a fragile mind.\nIf she is in the mental health system she ironically has less freedom/control. Psychiatric drugs are an abomination, mental hospitals break almost half of all the human rights a person is due under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Doctors will dispute this but they're making a fortune and are in reality above reproach. \nIf possible encourage her/the family to try to be physically active get plenty of fresh air, sun, fresh food etc. If anyone reading this thinks it is soppy fantasy ...you have no idea.... I was sectioned and abused by a mental hospital. My family and ex-partner tried to keep me locked up and take my child. By sheer determination I kept my sanity (just about)I smuggled a letter out via a brother and took legal action. Ten years later I still live with my child as a single parent I have nothing to do with my family, ex-partner. I went to college and got a third level qualification and am in a well paid professional job.\n\nBe careful not to get too involved, sometimes people aren't even honest with themselves. It takes a lot of courage to face and forgive yourself sometimes so be careful not to get drawn into what maybe someones false reality. If the person is unable/unwilling to face reality no-one else can do it for them.\n\nI am tormented by thoughts of suicide as there's just about no-one I trust and life is misery quite often. I stay active, eat well and believe in the 5th commandment:thou shall not kill, myself or any living thing (I'm now fruitarian/grains and seeds included).  \n\nGood luck. your dilemma is heartbreaking. I've been living with a broken heart for the last 19 years but I refuse to believe it wont mend. aim to be that strong, patient, caring, forgiving (to those who seek forgiveness-I believe you can't forgive someone who doesn't want it) god made us in his image and I believe we will have him in our hearts again sooner or later just like children DO.  peace with a passion.


Chyluria occurs as a result of communication between the lymphatics and the urinary system.  Chyle is commonly due to filariasis but may also result from congenital megalymphatics which leak into the urethra or the bladder. It is a striking condition in which the urine is milky.  Filiariasis is really parasitic lymphedema.  Lymphedema is caused by a malfunction or loss of lymph nodes due to surgery, damaged nodes, missing nodes, etc.  It occurs when the body cannot properly circulate the fluid, so it begins to pool.  Lymph consists of 96% water.  There are lymph vessels almost everywhere in the body.  \n\nLymphedema can be hereditary/congenital or secondary, there are several stages.  Some signs include heaviness, swelling, discomfort, tightness, numbness, pain, tingling, etc.  Lymphedema is treated by what is called complete/complex decongestive therapy.  It's a routine performed by a certified lymphedema therapist which consists of manual lymph drainage which is medical massage bodywork, compression, skin care, and special exercises to promote lymph flow.

There are children on this site. Please do not use bad languaage. There has to be web sites that meet your perverted needs. Again, are you so hard up that you cannot find somebody to love you? With your mind and words, you will never find that person to love you.

It seems to be everywhere, tv, radio, the internet, billboards...and mostly it depicts women in degrading or subservient positions, roles, situations.

I think it is very degrading to women.  I do not know why they do this and it is a question that enters my mind when I talk to a friend of mine who is into porn.  He is obsessed with this and it actually is running his entire life.  Has affairs with numerous women and has porn all over his computer.  Of course I do not respect him or the fact that he doesn't respect women, nor himself.  I feel there needs to be laws on this.  What a person does in private is his/her personal business.  But what satisfaction does a man get looking at magazines, internet, porn flicks, etc?  I honestly feel it is his real sense of inadequacy and definitely does not feel good about himself.\nWhen it comes to the sick-o man who preys on children is another sickening story which makes me ill thinking about it.  \nIf a man reads this...let us know why you need these degrading things.  You cannot be fully satisfied, otherwise you wouldn't be looking at these things.


I've started looking into cleaning offices to make a little extra side-income, and I was curious to know if someone out there could give me an estimate of how much they would pay for someone to come in after hours and clean their office. Maybe $10 an hour? $5 an hour? Any estimate would be helpful!

I think $10 an hour is reasonable.  Don't forget you'll have to have workers compensation insurance too.


I too am a victim of doing this but like what do you do when you see the person you are infatuated with somewhere  i cant help but ignoring them even though i wish it could be the complete opposite \nanswer me this you guyz plz and tell me ur side

i think its because we are all afraid of rejection or being used.as a woman i feel like it would be desperate of me to chase a guy , and my guy friends make jokes about girls who moon over them , even if she is just extra nice when they are around.


okay there was a song that i heard on the radio, its country i think, but they said the name then i forgot. it about a guy who catches his girl with another guy and he gets so mad he kills them both and now hes on the run...awesome song.

Hey i think you mean Leroy Brown dont you ?


My boyfriend is porto rican i am white! people are so mean on here just want to know why

Don't let it get to you. Maybe they're just jealous because if you get married and have kids, they will be extra beautiful. Don't ask me how, but biracial children without fail tend to be attractive.  \n\nIf it makes you feel any better my husband is Mexican and I'm white, and I couldn't be happier. Plus as a teacher it's an added bonus for me because so many of my students can't figure out if I'm white or Mexican (I've got blonde hair, blue eyes, a very Spanish last name and I'm told a Spanish accent.) and they get so thrown off. I absolutely love it. Case and point, have fun and be happy. Screw what people say.  They don't live your life.   \n\nMany blessings :)


I want to do my son's 2004 income tax return on line.  Which Website can best help me witj this need?

TurboTax 2004 website is at http://turbotax.intuit.com/commerce/catalog/category.jhtml?categoryId=cat0000000000006333121  - they offer various products and starts at $39.95 for federal alone (additional $29.95 for state). \n\nI have used for the past 3 years now the form of TaxSlayer http://www.taxslayer.com - they are one of the approved vendors of IRS for online filing. Unlike Turbotax, they charge a flat fee of $9.99 for ALL federal and state individual tax forms. And that price includes e-filing already. No additional fees for downloading other forms such as state, Schedule C or K1 or others. With TurboTax, downloading Schedule C for example costs $59.95. \n\nI've been very satisfied with them.


I like my wife more than she does, this totally affects me, I do a lot for her and she not, even not think to satisfy me or make me happy, I tried a lot with different means, suggest me please

the question is, how do you know that you love her more than she does? and if she really do, just give her time. maybe she went through something before you both got married. try talking to her and just put more effort on making her happy. i'm pretty sure she'll realize that you're important to her as much as she is to you!

the DA says wait until after summer and ask again because the summer heat brings out trouble\n\nwhat is up up with that please help

It depends on what your friend is on probation for.  How long has this friend been on probation.  If he/she has only been on pro. a short time it is unlikely that they will be taken off.  If it was a serious offense that would be a factor against them also.  Is there a compelling reason why this person "needs" to be off pro.?  \nThe summer months always see an increase in crime especially in large cities.  Judges are not generally in a good mood.  NOT a great time to ask for a favor.  If the DA opposes early release from probation or there was a plea agreement involved the chances are very slim that your friend will get what he/she wants.

I have had this problem lately at night with being extremely cold. No matter how much clothing or blankets I put on I am still freezing. When I get out of bed though I am not cold. The appartment I live in is haunted, I know that for sure. I have a suspicion that they are the cause of my coldness. I need some advice on how to protect myself from them at night while I am trying to sleep. Does anyone have any good advice short of getting rid of them? I don't want them gone, I'd just rather they didn't bother me while I'm sleeping.

What u should do is:\n(1) make sure u allow plenty of sunlight into the apartment during the day, and make sure the sunlight spreads around the apartment.\n\n(2) U should also play happy music, or rock music, etc. at a high volume in the apartment as much as possible. But make sure you don't annoy the neighbours! No gloomy music\n\n(3) Seek religious help: for example Buddhism, etc. Buddhist monks have a lot of rituals/hymns/prayers to counteract this sort of thing.\n\n(4) You know those talismans that help protect against spirits, especially the evil ones: well purchasing one might help. \n\n(5) Move the bed into a different position\n\n\nApparently, bright light and sound causes the whole place to brighten up, improves the karma of the surroundings. I do not know how to explain this, but i will try my best. Light and sound brings life back into the surrounding environment, which is opposite of those entities you are talking about. It is sort of like fighting a force with an opposing force, like fire and water.\n\nThe coldness u experienced, indicates a high level of haunting. I heard that fact on a ghost tour. Maybe if u hired urself a medium to help and to talk with the dead, will help. Maybe it won't.\n\nI don't exactly know for sure, but I have a thought: maybe the ghost(s) is a bit annoyed that you have occupied their space. Just a thought. So, again just a thought: you could try and make sure they know that it is your appartment and your space politely. Failing that I do not really know.\n\nWhen you sleep at night, you could place a talisman beside you, e.g. on the bedside table or something. Those talismans are hard to get sometimes. You could try going to a Taoist monastery, or a Buddhist monastery, etc.\n\nI think the Catholic Church might have something. Again, I am not sure.\n\nFurthermore, for some strange reason, I was told once that people who are easy to scare are the ones who are targeted by the ghosts. I was told it would be better to be more happy, and more brave, etc. and if you see one, just ignore it. I imagine it might be difficult, but afterall you are dealing with something that most people believe do not exist.\n\nPs. have u checked whether ur room has a draught or something. Maybe ur room is not properly insulated or something. But if u are sure it's a haunting, then hope you come out of it successfully!


where i can get details about neck paid related with neuro?

GO TO A NEUROLOGIST. YOU NEED A SPECIALIST TO REALLY DIAGNOSE THIS..... GOOD LUCK!


i love discussing evolution with cretinists and fundies, esp. in internet forums. I did have the addresses of a few good sights that answer their typical responses. Does anyone have a good URL for this?

I used to think it was enjoyable making fun of creationists.  Their ideas are so wacky, and they are almost completely ignorant of any scientific advance of the past 50 years.  But after a while you realize people like that are just going to believe what they want to believe.  I think it's interesting that when it comes to ANY other branch of science (medicine, computers, genetics, etc.) religious people have no problem accepting science.  ONLY when science contradicts their own unfounded beliefs (creationism) do religious people challenge science.


I've been a stay-at-home MOM for 12 years, my kids are in school full-time now and I'm ready to go back to work.  BUT HOW?  I have a BS in Business, but have very little work experience.  How do I decide what I want to do?  Who is going to hire a 39 yr old w/ very little experience?

Have you done any volunteer work or helped at school? If so this will help. \n\nAlso try part time first or take some refresher courses. It can be done. Put down you were home with your children and now it is time to go back to work, well you want to. And that your kids are in school full time. \n\nMake it clear you are there to stay. I take it you are not having any more kids? So you want to work outside the home now. \n\nI stayed home with my daughter too.


was you there? did you do what you thought you would accomplish? i said i would be married with kids.. well im married with 1 kid. and i graduated 19 yrs ago... are you in life where you always thought you would be

A man cashed a check at a bank, but the teller made a mistake, paying in dollars the amount that should have been cents and vice versa. He took the money, spent $4,45 and had left twice the correct amount of the check. What was the amount of the check?

the check was for $15.35\n\nthe method isn't beautiful, but whatever.  i got it.\nwhere x is the # of dollars the check was for, and y is the # of cents the check was for:\n2(x + y/100) = y + x/100 - 4.45\n2x + 2y/100 = y + x/100 - 4.45\n200x + 2y = 100y + x - 445\n199x - 98y = -445\n199x - 98y + 445 = 0 (mod 100)\n99x - 98y + 45 = 0 (mod 100)\n-x - 2y = -45 (mod 100)\n2y - x = 55 (mod 100)\n\nyou want y to be roughly (2x + 4) too.\n\nhey, how about y =35  --> x=15\n\n15.35*2 = 30.70\n35.15 - 4.45 = 30.70\n\nvoila!


I'm trying to create a flash site (for the first time). I have a blank movie clip that uses "loadmovie" to load a .swf file. In this .swf there are multiple animated layers. When I load the swf, however, the blank movie clip that it is loaded into keeps looping. I don't think it is something with the swf (because I made sure to publish without loop). Is there a property or some Actionscript I can use to stop the loop?

I would need to know what kind of movie you are loading in order to answer you, but you can always use "mymovieclip.stop()" to stop any frame animation.


and if he realythe god and he daied on the cross how he creat us and he is daied?i couldn't get that.and if he is the son of the god how could the god couldn't protect his holy son from people eho he created?

Well, easy.. because Jesus is not God neither the son of God... he's a prophet like the rest of them and a human like the rest of us.. he used to eat, drink, get hurt, laugh and suffer.\nThe word "son" in hebrew is also translated as "servant" which could be seen as Servant of God, or Slave of God. Also, the Bible has been changed many times to fit certain situations, so maybe at a certain point it seemed suitable to make Jesus become the "son" or a "god"! Or maybe some Rabbis in ancient times translated it this way in order to put Christians astray... you'll never know why it became like this!\n\nActually, you're asking if he's God or His son why did he die? Worse, how could Satan seduce him in the desert? How could Satan seduce his creator? Also, it is weird to think that God needs to become human in order to understand us!! It's funny!


Also in the 1998 world cup who scored the best goal?  What team did he play for and what team did they play against?

The World Cup is in Germany. \n\nAs for the best goal in 1998, I would have to say it was Michael Owen's goal for England against Argentina.

I think they sell a device for that at compUSA. Ask for assistance from an employee. They should be able to help you out.

I grew up in Texas and always attended services at a Southern Baptist church. We now live in Pennsylvania and I just wondered if the Baptist churches up north have the same beliefs as the Southern Babtist churches that I grew up with.

cutetrio2002,\n\nMy father was a Southern Baptist minister, so I know some of the history of the Baptists. The Baptists originated in Germany where they were called Anabaptists. In America, the Baptists were all one group until the time of the Civil War when they split over the slavery issue. Today there are several types of Baptists, but mainly the same 2 groups who split over slavery. Obviously the Southern Baptists supported slavery while the American Baptists in the north opposed it. I have heard of Conservative Baptists, and I seem to remember some others, but I don’t remember their names. While there are black churches that are affiliated with the Southern Baptists, they are often called Missionary Baptist churches.\n\nAll Baptists believe similarly. By the way, I believe that Southern Baptists still have the largest foreign missionary program of any denomination. I trust this will help.\n\nGod bless.\n\ncutetrio2002,\n\nI add this note for vangyblue from Wikipedia:\n\nSeveral existing denominational bodies may be legitimately regarded as the successors of the Continental (European) Anabaptists — Amish, Baptists, Brethren, Hutterites, Mennonites, Bruderhof Communities and Quakers.\n\nI don't want to argue. I just thought that you might like to know.\n\nGod bless.


Ok I really like this guy i liked him for almost a whole year\nand we talk all the time...but now i feel like we are getting closer because we hang out ALOT more its like we are best buds i had a chance to tell him i liked him because he was talking to me and said "girls only like me because they think im hott (which he is)i just want a girl who likes me for who i am....i should have told him i liked him then but i lost it...and now im doing the worst thing ever im trying to get him hooked up with some girls so he will like me more (how dumb is that??)its like everytime we are getting closer im pushing away and i really really like him!!!!!! please someone help me with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what should be considered (number of participants, rooms etc)

You need to first figure out what your costs will be. Your costs are usually:\n\nLabor costs for the teacher (how much does it cost in labor time to prepare the class, teach the class, and do anything outside of class that is required (grade papers, etc.)\n\nMaterials cost: How much will materials cost to deliver the class. Include handouts, flipcharts, videos, etc.\n\nVenue costs: How much will it cost to have the use of a training room? Include refreshments and food in this cost.\n\nMarketing costs: Include how much it costs to advertise the class if you are responsible for this (postage, brochures, printing, etc.)\n\nProfit margin: Give yourself a profit for your work.\n\nThe number of participants plays a role in terms of cost; usually the more participants you have the lower the overall per person cost is.\n\nAdd it all up, see how much your cost is, then see how many participants you'll need to make the kind of money you want to make from the training.


i'm a 32 dad of 3 kids and i have diabetics, everytime i get sick i loose weight and it doesn't matter what i do i can't gain any, does anyone have an idea on how to get some meat on my bones?

You need to meet with a dietitian. Your insurance should cover it, and you can get your doctor to recommend it if need be. Regular meetings should include meal plans, grocery list, snacks to have on hand, and times to eat them. Get on a tight eating schedule based on the plan you come up with for your needs. This will help your body to adjust and learn to regulate it self. That is important when you blood sugar play such a vital role in how and what you eat. Once you are in a regular schedule, and have given your body time to adjust to it, work with your nutritionist to start adding weight.


I am looking for broad input from U.S. citizens about what a candidates political platform should be for the 2008 elections. I would start with some planks looking for support or modification and additions

Starting it is easy; as the previous person answered proboards is a free and easy message board service, or you can install bulletin board software on a web site.  Getting people to it; and getting them to participate is your hard part.  Get ready to spend some money.


I have a good friend, and I can tell that she is wanting to be more than a friend, but I don't like her like that...I mean, I want the friendship without having to worry about her thinking the wrong thing.  It just seems that no matter what I do, the friendship will not be the same/sacrificed to some degree.  So what course of action should I take?

I think the best thing that you can do is continue to be a friend. Talk with her and let her know about the vibes that you are getting from her. Tell her that don't want anything to come in between the great friendship that you have. The best that you can offer her is your hand in friendship. She will respect and appreciate your honesty.


you all know my questions. but she always looks at me always is hitting my arm or leg she laughs at evrything i say and seems to write on me all the time.

Yeah..I would ask her out too.  What do you have to loose?  Besides, if you don't ask her, someone else will and then you may never have that chance to ask her again and you'll regret it.. Ask her out, Man!!  \n\nGood Luck.


i mean like elemantary school, high school- not college or anything like that...\nwhat are the reasons for how you feel- like, are you happy cause there's good sports, unhappy cause the kids are snobs...? do you think most kids are happy or unhappy?

High school is the best time of your life? Perhaps you haven't experienced much else of life.\n\nI'm not gonna say that high school was terrible, but it definitely wasn't the highlight of my life.\n\nThere's too much pressure in high school to be someone that you are not. Status is defined by the clothes you wear and the type of car that you drive... even though it was the parents who bought the car and the clothes. So in essence, high school is just a competition of "my parents spoil me more than your parents spoil you".


I would like to raise the grade to same level as my house. I tried to follow the thoughts from manufacturer, but a little confusing. I have two rods up to 16', the tripod, and the auto level brand is cst/berger 24x up to 300ft.

You will need two people to do this, a podman and a stickman.\n\nThe podman will work the tripod & transit. The stickman will work the grade stick (the 16' one).\n\n1. Setup the transit & tripod. Choose a spot where you can see, with the pod, all locations that you will have to mark grade with. The tripod should be located in a hard surface (i.e. asphalt or concrete) location to minimize movement.\n\nSetup the tripod & mount the pod. Make sure that the pod is level using the bubble located on the pod. This is very important. Sight all locations that you will have to mark grade, this is also important as you will not want to move the tripod if possible.\n\n2. Get a base reading of the finish floor of your building. To make this easy, your finish floor (FF) of the building is always 100'-0". Always. Have your stickman go to the finish floor location, and hold his stick. It must be vertical in all respects. Sight the stick through the pod. This will tell you your relative pod elevation (which is important to determine all other grade). For instance, if the stick is measuring 4.5' or 4'6" (depending on which kind of stick you got, an engineering or English measurement), you now know that the pod elevation is 104'-6" (FF elev of 100'-0" plus 4'6").  \n\nA word of warning - your pod elevation will always change everytime you move it. So to take additional shots, you must always calculate your pod elevation after you move the pod.\n\n3. Shoot the locations of your grade that you wish to alter. For instance, if you want to raise all of your grade to 100'-0" (FF elevation), and you shoot an elevation of 8.3' on the stick, you will need to raise your grade by\n\nMath: Pod elevation: 104.5'\nStick Shot: 8.3'\nDifference: 104.5 - 8.3 = 96.2' elevation\nRaise grade by: 100.0'-96.2' = 3.8'\n\nDrive a wood survey stake & record the elevation that you shot and your cut / fill amount in feet. This will help you remember where you took the shots & how much fill you need to place.\n\nFinally, as a construction professional, it is a very bad idea to raise outside grade to the same level as your finish floor. In the case of heavy rains / floods, there is nothing to keep the water from coming into your structure! A much better way is to slope the grade away at a minimum of 2% (or a 1/4" per foot) away from the structure, with a maximum of 5% slope (or 3/4" per foot) due to ADA.


Government of Thailand under the prime minister Thaksin

Thaksin's Thai Rak Thai (TRT) party won a landslide victory in Thailand's 2001 general election. The electorate's strong disaffection with former prime minister Chuan Leekpai's pro-International Monetary Fund (IMF) economic policies was instrumental to Thaksin's victory. \n\nThe TRT pledged to improve rural living conditions through new subsidized loans and the creation of a debt moratorium for farmers. In addition, the party pledged to improve the nation's health-care system.\n\n\nThaksin, reputably Thailand's wealthiest man, also pledged major changes for his country's business sector. Economic liberalization demanded by the IMF threatened many of Thailand's wealthy elite in both the private and public sectors. Thaksin promised to create a debt-management company to remove bad assets from the country's banks and eliminate significant amounts of private- and public-sector corporate debt. \n\nThaksin also hinted that he would oppose IMF-dictated bankruptcy legislation that would have closed many Thai companies. And he also alluded that he would reduce foreign investment in Thailand to protect domestic companies.


Am currently running:\nAMD 1.2 GHtz\n1 GB PC133 RAM\nGeForce 5500 AGP\nIn board Sound\nWinXP Home, NTFS\n\nAgain, any help in partitioning and mounting the HDD would be appreciated

I'm assuming that you have it installed already and correctly, meaning you set the jumpers correctly.  First, right click on my computer, select manage, select disk management, right click on your new hard drive.  Initialize it.  Once you initialize it you can set up your partitions from there.


God is a loving god. Why did he tell Abrham to kill his son? Or tell his prophet to kill the king? Or have favor with certain people like Cain and Able (I'd be mad too if God like my brother and not me, no wonder he murdered he was a lost cause according to God)? Having 'men after his own heart', when everyone is equal? Why did Jesus look at a person and say "Get behind me Satan" (personally I would quite following him right then and there -- or punch him out)? A virgin giving birth? Nowadays there is jail and abuse court that covers alot in the Bible, so why do civilized people believe this? And why do they be believe we are going to hell if we don't repent for being practical?

Humanity has yet to fully recover from the Christian movement. While the Bible does contain a lot of good messages for people to care for one another, other parts of it are a bunch of garbage. I mean think about it, assuming God exists, why would he only grant "authority" to some administration centered in the Vatican? It's A Scam. We don't need fancy stories or mundane, repetetive procedures every Sunday. We need love and respect for one another.


What are the long-term and immediate cause behind Nepal crisis? Who are responsible to organise the mass uprising in Nepal? What are the major economic issues behind this?

root cause is INDIA\n* India has successfully taken control over Bhutan's energy resources and already started to have the benefit.\n* Nepal have energy to cater India's energy need for industrialization and irrigation and clean drinking water for eastern India. They want to have total control in any hydro projects that'll be build in Nepal.\n* keep ppl in power so that they are ready to sell resources or even country.\n* India knew that until and unless royal family is in power, it's not possible. This is because for the royals, Nepal is the only place in the world where they will get highest degree of respects and they'd never sell the country. For that, India played the key role to instill democracy in 2046 and implant corrupted people in the government. According to the plan, some leaders of ours sold out rivers and lands during the 15 years. That we all know. Now India could not depend only on those dogs. For that, how to make Nepal completely helpless in shortest period? So that Nepal will come down on the ground with knees.\n*Attack on the source of economy was the simplest route towards Nepal's bring down. Maoists were born in western Nepal which is the hub of ayurvedic medicine and one of Nepal's major exports\nBesides that, major objective of giving birth to Maoists was to attack the spinal of Nepal's economy- tourism.


it's something that has to do with jesus why not?

Jews don't believe that Christ was the savior of man, nor God's son.  Ergo, holidays involving Jesus are not traditionally celebrated by Jews.\n\nAnd Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.\n\nWhich, again, Jew's don't believe happened. SO they don't celebrate it, even the popular secularized version, usually.


I hate it. I think that when we buy something, we should be the first ones to have tried it on. Shouldn't people find some other way to make sure people get clothes that fit right without having to try them on?

There is no reason you shouldn't simply count on washing them once before you wear them.  It is irrational to expect people will not only know how a garment fits, but how it looks on them, without trying it on.  For one thing, the size number is only a guide; different garments fit loose or snug, and in different parts of the body, and people have differently shaped bodies, even within the same size.  There is simply no substitute for trying it on.\n\nIf you are really creeped about wearing something someone else has tried on, buy all your clothes mail-order, and accept that you will sometimes have to send them back because they aren't what you expected.


that song rocks! i love greenday! billie jo used to be hot b4 he died is hair blonde


and the men staying home to raise the kids? Would you want to be one of those men?

I think that was the situation in sex and the city, right the Samantha had about ten times as many men as your suggestion and she was always happy!\nOh and I would totally watch a show where the men had to stay home w/ the kids!

I am curious because when I first set up yahoo answers I assumed most of people would use their pictures instead of avatars or nothing at all. But from what I have seen very few people use pictures. Am I wrong if not what is the reason.

If we wanted people to know what we looked like, we would go out and get 'real' friends!


How much more would you pay if we didn't have the penny?  All those taxes would round to the highest nickel instead of penny.  So if something had a tax of .5 cents you would pay 4.5 cents instead.  Over the course of the year you'd spend quite a bit more in sales taxes alone.

trying to stop stalker sending death threat texts

go to the cops if he/she stalking you as this is illegal, and harrassment.


my iraqi fraind says: when ever we see young american soldiers patroling,we. have two conflicting emotions.we hate them at first,they destroy everything,fire randomely at every on on suspecion,may kill you or destroy your car because of simple misunderstanding,they had already killed,injured many of your loved ones,you,or your son may be the next,just because they dont know the language,or someone who wants to revange from you gives them a wrong information.\nbut,we know again that they are poor young people who have dreams,wives,kids,loved ones.they have no option but to obay orders,and they want to survive to return to their families.we really feel that each of these 18-22 years boys ilke our kids,and we sense the hardship they are going through.instead of hugging their infants in a rose garden,they are hugging a burning hot machine gun under a grilling sun.we rally feel pitty that the human sufferings are so much for both the sides.nither we trust them,nor they do with us.

I feel that in a given situation what started as good intent has turned bad.  Our soldiers went to Iraq on a mission for our leaders, a mission disguised as Democracy.  You cannot blame the soldiers.  When this mission did not turn in favor of our leaders bad things began to happen, soldiers in confusion, some of them young and very ignorant or unknowledgable of the Iraqi culture, or any respect of other cultures, some just the a-holes that we interact with on any given day back here in the USA, those who are high strung or have a superior than you attitude. Some, terrified young men and woman just out of high school who have yet to experience  anything of the world. Some very honorable and moral human beings-our soldiers are as diverse in humanity as any civilian on our streets-good and bad people. They are thrown into a seemingly hopeless and confusing situation.  Yes, it has turned bad, horrifically bad.  My cousin returned from his tour just 6 months ago and the heinous crimes he witnessed by his fellow soldiers against Iraqis was mentally trying and heartwrenching for him (I wish I could say more of his proof that he has, it is visual and graphically distburing)..but he feared for his own safety and feared to report some the callous acts of these soldiers as threats were made against him when he confronted them. One went as far as to make a comment of "Friendly Fire" and how dishonorable that it is to go home in a coffin from an "accident" instead of courageous battle.  There are bad people and yes some are our own, the best thing for us to do is leave Iraq.  I have said it before its not losing a war but admitting an error.  I have heard of the atrocities our soldiers are doing to civilians, and the lack of hesitation towards anyone as if they are all enemies from a soldier, an honorable person, my cousin. A man who beloves strongly in God and Faith and is terrified to speak out on what he has seen ...I hope he finds the courage to speak out and our government to admit the mistakes that they have made.\nHope this gives you insight to how some of us feel about what you mentioned.  I love and respect all cultures and all religions even if I do not understand them or agree with them, that is why the world is the world we live in the joy of diversity , the abiltiy to learn something new from someone, from ones culture.

This man apparently contacts older single/widowed women, romances them for a while and then asks for money.  No, I didn't give him any, but he is skilled at what he does and I want to report him.

This may vary depending on the services he was using to contact women, but you can start at http://abuse.yahoo.com/ to give them details of what's going on.


Somehow wound up agreeing to cook a meal for a first date! He's gorgeous too! Is this a bad idea?! x

I think it's a great idea if you know how to cook and a bad one if you don't.  Don't make a huge meal, a simple gourmet meal is the best.  Get a bottle of wine as well, but drink it in moderation.  This is, after all, a FIRST date.  Good luck!\n\nEDIT:  I find it hilarious that people did NOT read your question thoroughly!  I keep seeing SHE this, SHE that.\n\nAgain, good luck with the date!

Do you believe that there are people out there that are keeping us ignorant, and in fear in an attempt to control our actions?

political leaders have an interest in making sure you don't know what's going on. If you did, you'd know what they were doing, and more specifically, what they were doing wrong.\n\nAnd, the media, sometimes they give accurate information, sometimes not. it depends on who they are, who they work for, how unpalatable what they have to say is, and most importantly, who the audience is. \n\nBut, to that I will add that the majority of news viewers don't bother to scrutinise politicians, because they think TV did that for them. And they don't scrutinise the media, they just accept what they're told.


I'm 13 years old and I need some good songs to download. I'm into ACDC, Pink Floyd, some U2, Guns 'n' Roses, some Eagles, Pete Murray, Green Day, some Simple Plan and some of the new pop. Do you know any good songs or bands?

Most of the best music is underground and isn't played over and over again on mainstream radio. All the new pop is crap.\n\nHere are my favorites. \n-Pearl Jam\n-Manic Street Preachers\n-Burning Airlines\n-Johnny Cash\n-In\n-CKY\n-Mindless Self Indulgence\n-Dead Kennedys\n-Flogging Molly\n-Blue Skye Mourning\n-Jimmy Buffett\n-KMFDM\n-Kenny Wayne Shepherd\n-Rammstein\n-Blind Jonny Death\n-Sparta\n-Tori Amos\n-They Might Be Giants\n\nDon't listen to what the radio DJ tells you to. Be an individual.

Please the obvious is the Solomon Amendment...besides from that...go nuts!

Well I think if an institution of higher learning receives funding from the government, they are absolutely required to allow ROTC or military recruiters on to campus. The argument presented by FAIR was that the presence of ROTC and military recruiters violated their first amendment rights. It's a preposterous argument that is rooted in an antipathy towards the military but the problem is that the military did not create their policies that they had a problem with (like "dont ask, dont tell") congress did. \n\nStudents and faculty are allowed too demonstrate and protest military presence on campus if they want too (and, trust me, they do) but recruiters are allowed to be there as well. They are considered outsiders, no different from businessmen who come onto campus for hiring purposes at job fairs. Students are not obligated to join or participate. They are not obligated to follow the policies of the military. Those who do, volunteered knowing full well what they were signing up for. For example, I dont see anybody calling for companies that have third world sweat shops to be kicked out of job fairs. \n\nThe idea that you can kick out or ban an organization that has no effect on you simply because you don't like their policies is preposterous. Which is why the Supreme Court unanimously ruled 8-0 in favor of keeping ROTC and recruiters on campus.
