how do i change te permison on my files when i upload them using the fttp this is in linux and to see the error please copy and paste this link\n\nhttp://www.partydown.com/cgi-bin/webcat.pl

the command is call "chmod"\n\nworks from a shell or from ftp\n\nthe basic command is\n\nchmod ugo+rwx FILENAME\n\nif you want to change\nu user permissions\ng group permissions\no other permissions\n+ adds\nr read  access\nw write access\nx execute (or accessibility for a directory)\n\na webserver does not run as you, so you need to give it read access. if you are a member of its group you add the group permission, but it's probably "other"\n\nas an alternative you can set permissions as an octal numer\n\nchmod 644 FILENAME\nwould give you full permission, and your group and others read only\n(chmod 755 DIRNAME for a directory)\n\nI've used ws_ftp before, and it's pretty nice so it probably has this feature... but I have my limits and I don't think I'm going to install it just to test it for you :) try using a female avatar, that suckers me sometimes :)\n\nbut, to fix your immediate problem, you can log in using the regular windows ftp and set it that way\n\nin an MSDOS window type\nftp HOSTNAME\n\nuser: yourusername\npassword: yourpassword\n\nthen, once you are logged in you will be in your login directory. if you want to see the directory listing\n\nls\ndir\n\n(either of those will work) if you need to change directories\n\ncd DIR/NAMES\n\nthen \n\nchmod 644 FILENAME\n\nyou can use wildcards, but you need to turn on "globbing" usually which I can't recall how to do\n\nglobbing on\nglob on\nset glob on\nhelp\n\ntype some combination of the above, or search the web for ftp globbing and you will find how to do it.\n\nThe other thing you can do probably is add a file to you home directory and put a umask in it. then, when you log in it will set your default permissions to the umask. check with your ISP help for whether they support this and what file you should put it in or whether they will change it for you. Once you've identified where it goes, the other tricky part is that umasks are the binary opposite of chmod bitfields, so the umask number is not the same as the 644. I always have to look it up so that's what you'll have to do, but now that you know it's called a umask, searching will be pretty easy.


Nasa currently plans on sending four men tho the moon via the new crew exploration vehicle(CEV), using the earth orbit rendevous mode. NASA plans to have all four men descend to the lunar surface in the redesigned lunar lander, leaving the CEV unattended in lunar orbit.

Our technology has improved quite a bit since the Apollo program. In particular, computers are able to do the routine chores that required humans back in the late 60's and early 70's. The person up in orbit was there to direct the orbiter to rendevous. This is no longer required.


I had installed PCTV yesterday and didnt like it so I uninstalled it from "Add And Remove Programs". Some files havent been removed thats why I get this window which says..... \n\n"Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unable to load SQL.BOOT.DLL)Please uninstall then re-run to setup to correct this problem."\n\nI searched for the file and couldnt delete it even by right clicking on it. Where can I find it to remove it. I cant even restore my computer to a date before I installed the software as I cleared all restored points. I hope to get some answers. Thank You.

Go to Registry and remove it.  If you have Norton SystemWorks, go to Norton Utilities, then  WinDoctor.  That will show you how to remove unwanted programs.  That should also clean up other junk that is cluttering your computer.  You can always contact your computer manufacturer (HP, COMPAQ, DELL) and have them clean it up.  you will need to be on the phone and have your computer in front of you at the same time.  Sony makes good PCs.


1. What do you know now you didn't know then?\n2. Do you not feel guilty as hell?\n3. Do you know a lot of Americans think you're idiots?

1. That he is a well intentioned idiot.\n\n2. No, I made the best decision I could at the time.\n\n3. I don't think Americans think the voters are idiots. They made a bad judgment call because the choices were not very good. Gore might have turned our even worse then Bush.


my neice emailed me some cd music for me to download and I can't open it to play the music?????HELP

I would like information on what to expect if my ex-husband decides to drag me and the kids back to court.I have no clue how it all works and i have a feeling i need to find out.


What do you see as the main issues affecting our universities, us as students, or they way we study today (either on campus or externally), and what would make a difference.\n\nFeel free to express your opinions on whatever you are passionate about as a student - whether it be financial, political, social or whatever presses your button.\n\nCheers for the feedback 8-)

University fees (HECS) have grown radically over the past decade while the service provided to students has declined. Students have to cope with over-crowded classes and with student unionism becoming non-compulsory uni services will also be cut soon. \nThe university sector is in crisis and needs major investment soon if we are going to continue to provide quality education for Australians, and also continue to attract overseas students.


They have been around pro/college football and the olypic for\nyears nowhaven'y they?

I agree with you, but as far as baseball goes, they didn't "catch on" (which isn't a good thing) until the early-mid 80's. I know myself, no joking of a few players who used steroids to get ripped, as in muscle tone and bat speed, and running speed as well as to prolong thier careers. It is a much different "cycle" than those looking to be huge and monsterous. I'll give you a clue on one of them, he played for the Reds and Tigers and his name rhymes with Derek Shavis. People think ball players tak it for one reason: to hit homers. But the effects are much more potent and better when you try to use it for endurance and to get "chisled". How do I know this, I have studied baseball for 10 of my 20 years on this planet, and I have met and talked to a lot of ball players. It doesn't however make it better to not use it to bulk up, but look at why runners use it and marathoners. Imagine trying to run 26.2 miles and having it feel like 5 miles. Imagine the extra step when you are trying to steal a base? Imagine a few more mph on an outfield throw to get runners out? Or maybe even the extra step to run out a long fly ball. Those are the people MOST don't know about. When a player takes it to bulk, they have one thing on their mind: home runs. So my point is they are both cheaters and punks.


How on earth do I get rid of this message that keeps coming up on my computer??\nIt says "Click OK to run ActiveX Control", and usually when I click it, a window pops up that says "Microsoft Explorer encountered an error and has to shut down".\nIt happens all the time and is getting REALLY annoying!\nWhat can I do about it?

It's in your control panel >Internet options > Security settings > custom settings \n\nyour going to have to decide what option you want to change it to. Not run or run


i'm going to the j.p at the courthouse to marry my man, and father of my 3 children, of eleven years, and i want to make the ceremony short and sweet, but meaningful. Any ideas?

Do you take this man to be your Emperor of the Hour?  To use him as you will?  To not blast him into tiny bits - until such time as you grow weary of him?  Say I do.\n\n/joking...how about:\n\nI vow to ease your burdens \nAnd forever be your strength\nI vow to love you always\nUntil I have no more days\nI ask you take my heart\nAnd cherish it for all time\nI promise to be yours\nAs you promised to be mine\n\nGood luck and congrats!


How can I delay ejaculation? because everything finishes within 3-4 minute?

I thought 20 seconds was long. Well Sherry's gonna be real disappointed.


Cookie Monster seems like the obvious choice, i mean he is a Freak'n Monster, But i have seen Porky pissed off before and i think he could take him, what do you think?

Shiit. You really want to know what I think. I would kick Pork's a$$ so hard that we would all be having BACON and eggs for a week. That's what I think. You want a piece of me too punk. ha ha just kidding....I hope no kids will read this. my career would be over. ha ha ha


I am looking for something that combined education and fun. It must NOT have pop-up adds.

All the answers so far miss the point completely. All of them are websites that either point to other sites, for any age, OR cater for all children and rarely, in my opinion, cater exclusively for the under 5s. \n\nThe ONLY really good site exclusively for under fives, and from the number of schools and parents who use it, it appears to be highly recommended, is The Kindersite Project at http://www.kindersite.org \n\nThe best thing about the Kindersite is that it goes directly to the content so you do not have to try to find the right content for your impatient under 5s. It is even better than the BBC sites.\n\nPlease let me know your opinion.

"My Humps" was by far the worst song of 2005.

Yes. A bunch of chavs singing about being cheap. 'My Humps' - ?????? wtf? someone said it was empowering. What crap, its telling girls that its okay to be a c*ck-tease. It offends me and I'm female. Yes they are lame. Put simply.


Ummm...we've been dating a little over a month, and I just feel something's missing from the relationship...It's not that I want it to end, it just doesn't seem fair to me right now, and I know that in the future it's just gonna get worse for her.  This is my first gf, and I'm her first bf too. We see each other daily, and I think that might be part of the problem...\n\nCan someone with a little more experience help me?

Are you sure you want to break up with her. Sometimes we think we want more without knowing what we want. ask for a cooling down period. See how both of you really feel. Just go it without for 2 weeks. If by then you don't miss her. then nothing is lost. and finalizing the break up is easier since she's gotten use to the idea. \n\n I've had guys break up with me and then try to get back together a couple of weeks later. but it depends on how we broke up. That's why I'm suggesting you ask for some time apart.


are they like states, something u can't actually see or is there something distinctive that shows where they end?

This is actually not as easy as it looks. If you look at a picture of a galaxy, it is usually pretty clear where the stars stop and that is usually regarded as the edge of the galaxy. The problem is that all galaxies have a 'halo' of gas with a few stars and this halo can extend quite a bit further out than the stars themselves do. Sometimes this gas is very hot and emits X-rays or gamma rays, which is one way we detect it. Even worse is the fact that most galaxies are in clusters where the halos actually merge to a great extent. Finally, there is also a 'dark matter' halo around all galaxies that has its own distribution that may be different than that of the gas halo.\n\nIn practice, the edge is usually defined by where the visible stars stop, but an awareness has to be kept of these other issues and heir effects on the motions of the stars themselves.

yesterday as we where driving down the road my 8 year boy for some reason said"cockroach blood" I like metal music so I thought to my self what a good name for a band any thoughts metal heads.

Sounds more like a gothic metal band or a grunge/indie band - I kinda like it, I know names's a little gross but it's hard with attitude just like metal music so it goes with it quite well.  And this is from someone who doesn't like metal so you've got a full unbiased opinion there!!!!  Clever little boy you've got there I must say!


Ok so I know its wrong but I was dating this guy a few years back who gave me his email password. He asked me to check his email for him once and probably didnt think anything of it-thinking I would forget it or something. Anyway through that I found out he was cheating. Now sometimes I go through and read his emails just for entertainment purposes. I honestly have no interest in him at all. I have moved on and am happy. I just read it when I need a good laugh. I know I shouldnt because he doesnt know I am reading his emails. But I cant help it...sick entertainment or something. Anyway he is doing the same thing to some other girls that he did to me once upon a time. Should I somehow contact them and let them know? If I know he is cheating dont they have the right to know? Or should I just stop reading it and mind my own business and let them find out for themselves?

I know it is not right what he is doing and what he did to you is not right.  But, it is his life and how he lives his life, is up to him.  If you want to, for kicks and giggles, write to his ladies, I would let them know, but, there is a possibility that he may be able to track you down, somehow.  Be careful.  Truthfully, I would just mind my own business and forget he even existed.

i remember when i was younger waking up in the middle of the night to a short black figure staring at me. i just totally froze up. i told my dad the next day and he was like,"you were just dreaming." NO WAY man, i was sweating up a storm on that one.

I was 13 and a older man in his 60's was staring at me in an inappropriate way.


RS.7,18,915 has arisen to me as capital gains due to sale of my flat on 10/05/06. \n  I am a senior citizen having very little knowledge about Taxation. Under the situation, I am wondering whether I should pay the Capital Gains Tax @ flat rate of 20% or invest in some govt. bonds-blocking the amount of gains for 3 long years or invest in few local co-operative banks-which offer 9% p.a. intrest.\n   Iam serching for a safe,best and benificial alternative. \n   A convincing answer in this matter would help me a great.

Sir Section 54 of the Income Tax Act 1961 gives the details of saving tax it goes that you have either to purchase bonds as you mentioned but it wont help as those bond would have to be reinvested in same Capital asset rather you can go for another same type of asset of same value you have 3 years from the date of sale or get your money invested in bond and keep renewing each tenure and the last option will be pay a tax and the correctly specifed rate


i cant stop wondering if the man am with really loves me. he doesnt do anything special for me.

Men are different. Some display affection, others don't. Doesn't mean they don't love you. Ask him. And seek counselling to put that spark back again. Yup, same reply from me. Good luck.

I really want to donate money/clothes/non-perishable foods...but I don't any good reliable organization.  I would prefer if it wasn't affiliated with any religion, but if it's a really good one, I'll go for it!  Thanks everyone!

Unicef is a good, solid organization that really helps where it's needed.\n\nAnother very good organization is Novib. I don't know if it works from worldwide, but here in Holland it's the organization i donate the most too. They don't offer help with instant-food programs, but they adopt complete villages to try and help them to grow. With Novib the people from the villages really get involved in making their own village a better place to live in, with building water-puts, better conditions to produce food, etc. It is a form of help that really helps for a long period of time.\n\nThey also offer help in scholing-projects for example.To teach the children how to make their lives better and with that provide less starvation in their area.\n\nunfortunatelly most help-organizations focus purely on instant-help..which is also needed, very much, but it only delays a problem and does not bring a long-term-solution. Novib does both. instant-help, combined with long-term-solutions.\n\n(darn, i sound like a commercial now....i don't work with them or anything, but i trust their organization, and i have been visiting a few of the projects i sponsored. they are completely non-religious btw.)\n\nedit: I checked, Novib seems to be a dutch organization, but is part of Oxfam International, which can be found here: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/\nreading their website, they seem to work according to the same principles that i know from Novib. good luck.


It's called project SLAM and apparently NASA will be sending a giagantic ice cube to the moon. I am not even joking! Anyone else think this is pointless?

I just read this in the news on Space.com in the last couple of days.  Got some good science on it, plus it has the advantage of being reasonably inexpensive, and if they do not find water at the polar regions, at least we can put plenty of it there when we do send our astronauts to the moon in the next decade.


I can't.Where the hell was I?Probably on Answers!

I certainly do. To me war is the antithesis of spirituality and faith. I feel the two are irreconciliable. Now if a nation goes to war because it feels threatened, that is a decision the country makes if it feels that is what it must do for its own survival. However, the idea that God is on one side or the other is repugnant to me. Leave God out of it.

Yes, they are two words that contradic each other. How could something be as Holy be associate with war?\n\nJesus set the example that we must folower in regards how we should treat others. To Imitate Jesus. First Peter 2:21 tells us: “To this course you were called, because even Christ suffered for you, leaving you a model for you to follow his steps closely.” \n\nJesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.  \n\nGal.5:14 reads: "For the entire Law stands fulfilled in one saying, namely: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” \n\n“If anyone makes the statement, ‘I love God,’ and yet is hating his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot be loving God, whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him, that the one who loves God should be loving his brother also.” (1 John 4:20, 21,)\n\nAs for "Holy"-ness: \nClean conduct essential. Those who have this holy standing before Jehovah strive, with the help of God’s spirit, to attain to the holiness of God and Christ. (1Th 3:12, 13) This requires study of God’s Word of truth and the application of it to their lives. (1Pe 1:22) It requires response to Jehovah’s discipline. (Heb 12:9-11) It follows that if a person is genuinely holy, he will pursue a course of holiness, cleanness, and moral uprightness. \n\nChristians are admonished to present their bodies to God as a sacrifice that is holy, just as acceptable sacrifices presented at the ancient sanctuary were holy. (Ro 12:1) Holiness in conduct is a command: “In accord with the Holy One who called you, do you also become holy yourselves in all your conduct, because it is written: ‘You must be holy, because I am holy.’”—1Pe 1:15, 16.


The cubs have been so bad for so long, why should their fans stay loyal?  Do cubs fans enjoy loosing?  Are they so used to loosing that it is what they expect and accept as their destiny?

Being a fan for any team is about loyalty to the TEAM and nothing else.  Just because management is bad or players don't live up to expectations there is still a history to love and fond memories of the (occasional) good years.\n\nIf you just want to be a fair weather fan, become a Cards fan...they all dessert when the Cards have bad years.


I am 29 years old.  I spained my lower back two weeks ago.  It was during a softball game.  I was laid up for a couple of days but after a trip to the orthopedic I was able to get some muscle relaxers and return to normal activities.\n\nThe orthopedic said my back was in spasm.  I am now off the medicine and going to physical therapy.  The doctor did not really think it would be a big deal to play golf after 2-3 weeks but the physical therapist said more like 6 weeks.  \n\nAnyone have this problem in relation to golf?  Or softball.  I plan to play both after three weeks if I feel capable.

well i say like after 3 weeks try to swing a club outside no ball and is it hurts don't go but try that every week and once you feel better you can play


I think a man should have the right to marry as much women as he please. It should be up to the Government to tell me how much wives I can have, although I believe the Government should not recognize in merriage between any one under the age of 18. But as for polygamy men/women should have the right to marriage. The Government should not interfere with a man right to marry. If you don't like polygamy then don't participate in it, but that gives you no reason for you to vote against it.

I agree.  Women should also be able to marry multiple men.  This is just the legislation of morality, and there is no victim, as long as the participants are all of legal age.  We have legalized a lot of other things (such as domestic partners and sodomy), and there is no real reason in my mind for this last holdout.  If you are going to legalize some of it, you might was well legalize it all.


Have YOU ever had a paranormal experience? Share your stories.

I am a Paranormal Investigator, so I've definatley had experiences in that capacity.  I also grew up in a house that had some strange "goings on."\n\nHere are just a few of my experiences:\n\n** When I was a little girl my bedroom was downstairs by the staircase going up.  I hated to sleep with the bedroom door open because I would hear strange noises coming from the kitchen and the staircase.  I made my Mom move my bed to the wall opposite the staircase because I would swear that something was standing on the stairs and trying to reach through the wall to get me.  Granted, I was 6 years old at the time.  But I remember very clearly one night in particular.  I was deeply asleep when the bed started to shake.  I woke up and yanked the covers over my head.  I lifted up a corner to glance out and saw a black hand reach up towards me.  The hand put one finger at a time on my blanket until four long, pointy black fingers were within inches of my nose.  I was so scared I couldn't even breathe.  Suddenly the hand yanks on the covers.  I yanked back and screamed with all my might.  My parents came running and finding me sitting up and screaming for help, tried to convince me I had a nightmare.  To this day I don't know if it really happened, but even just thinking about it gives me the willies.\n\n** When I was about 17 my parents went away over night.  I was in command of the house for a full 48 hours and was thrilled.  I borrowed a bunch of movies, popped some popcorn, and settled in for a night of relaxation.  Halfway into the first movie I heard a strange scraping noise coming from the front window.  I turned my head and watched in horror as the window slowly opened.  My rational self was telling me the window was unlocked and probably warped, so not to worry.  My rational self quickly gave up that opinion when the window slammed shut very quickly.  My reaction probably would have been funny had someone been around to see it.\n\n** One night at my aunt's house, at least 9 of my family members and I were sitting around the dining room table playing Taboo!, which is an extremely loud game to play.  Suddenly all of us became quiet at the same time.  Footsteps could be clearly heard from the floor above us, but everyone in the house was around the table.  Somehow I was elected to go check it out.  As I'm walking up the steps a blast of cold air comes by me and the bathroom door at the top of the stairs slams closed.\n\n** While staying over night in a haunted B&B with several fellow investigators, my roomie and I very clearly heard the sound of snoring in the room.  We walked around to every room in the building, but could not find the source of the snoring.  Once back in the room the snoring ghost continued to keep us company for several minutes.\n\n** During the course of a paranormal investigation of a private residence I said to the homeowners, "We haven't been able to find anything yet tonight."  Immediately after that we heard several loud bangs on the ceiling over our heads.  We were on the second floor and everyone in the house was within my line of sight.


I need problems that need to be solved and their solutions.\nI'd be very happy you list a couple of sites.\nThe problems should be for begginers or intermediats.


I recently graduated with a BA in Business. Since then my interests have changed to Clinical Psychology and I wish to pursue a MA/PhD in the field. I realize I'll have to take some levelling courses but would like to know if anyone has any experience in this area (of changing disciplines) and what route I should take.

Wow that one is tough. I am a clinical Psychology graduate student. Most graduate programs in clinical only offer PhD degrees so make sure you are willing to go to school for 5-6 more years (yes...5 to 6!). Also, clinical psychology programs are hot right now and are currently more difficult to get into than med school (about a 5% acceptance rate as of this past year or so). Most programs require a BA in psychology or at least a strong background in psychology. However, you can still get in! Look at programs carefully. Perhaps your unique knowledge base would compliment a certain field of psychological research, or a certain program's orientation. Lots of programs like to get students from very diverse backgrounds, so your business degree may be am unexpected strength. Best of luck!

I just spent the past 5 years rebuilding my credit.  I've lived credit card free since 2001 and paid off a lot of balances.  I'm going to be traveling this summer and would like a credit card rather than using my debit card.  If you had so-so credit and got a Capital One card, what were your initial balance limits?  I'm almost to a 700 score.

You could probably get a pretty high limit. But beware...Higher the limit, and more you think you can spend. I figure, if you've gone this long, why get yourself into that situation again. If you choose to get one, do your research, I know several people have been screwed by Capital One! Find one for a no annual fee too...why pay someone an annual fee on top of huge interest fee and/or penalties. My advise...save up. Use the money you already have. If you are afraid of debit card getting lost or something, try Travelers Checks.


I'm not sure what you mean specifically, but here is mine...\nThis I believe http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm


Atheism is an intellectual position.  What reasons do you have for holding that position?  Your reasons are based upon logic, and/or evidence or lack of it.  So, is there any reason/evidence for you holding your position that you defend? \nIf you say that atheism needs no evidence or reason, then you are holding a position that has no evidence or rational basis?  If so, then isn't that simply faith? \nIf you say that atheism is supported by the lack of evidence for God, then it is only your opinion that there is no evidence.  You cannot know all evidence for or against God, therefore you cannot say there is no evidence for God. \nIf you say that atheism needs no evidence to support it because it is a position about the lack of something, then do you have other positions you hold based upon lack of evidence...like say, screaming blue ants?  Do you hold the position that they do not exist or that you lack belief in them, too?


how many  types of pyramid  are  there ?\n\nhexagonal pyramid,square pyramid ... i find these names very often...what it means ? does it mean base is square,hexagonal etc etc ?\n\nhow many  types of pyramid  are  there ?\n\nwhats  the common property of all  these pyramids should have ?

As you have probably noticed, there are an infinite number of pyramids: ones with quadrilateral bases, pentagon bases, hexagon bases, septigon bases...  The more sides the base has, the closer the pyramid will come to a cone.\n\nYes, a square pyramid has a base of a square.\n\nI guess the common property is that they all have triangular sides.

How about a friggin car you can run on food waste?  I'm tired of paying rich bastards who play price fixing games making money off me.

Are you freakin' kidding me?!?  My 113hp/69ft. lb motorcycle with a 4.5 gal tank does over 200 miles!  AND, it does wheelies!


None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; it's conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?

The light bulb can't be screwed in by the Bush administration, regardless of how many people or tax dollars they throw at it.  Owing to their lack of credible intelligence concerning the appropriate strategy to pursue, they will attempt to screw the bulb in upside down.  As it would otherwise entail admitting a mistake, the administration will stay the course indefinitely, trying in vain to get an upside down light bulb into the socket.\n\nThose who point out the error of their ways will be labeled "liberal defeatists" who hate freedom and who want the United States to crumble. Their telephone records will seized and Dick Cheney may ultimately shoot them.\n\nIt doesn't matter what the Republicans do to us as long as we remember that it's done in the name of freedom.  God Bless America  (and God help us survive this incompetent boob)


Do you not feel that if they learn English their lives would change for the better?  They can get better jobs and social acceptance.  Even if the amnesty (or whatever program it is) is approved, they'll get their green card and then what? Still work in fields and other lower paying jobs?  Do we not aim for something higher?  Please serious answers only.

THANK YOU! and yes it is very true. there isabosolutely nothing wrong with assimilation and sadly thank you to latino culture and past, the machismo and ego of the culture gets in the way of assimilation it's not liek that with everyone of course, but learning english isnt only assimilation it is educating yourself, opening new windows and creating a better life. It isn't that hard to elarn english but then you can't teach an old dog new tricks, only those who are really dilligent towards learning.


i would lik to go up on mi bench squat lp jus bout erythin and i would lik to lose weigth whil doin it and as fast as possible

Ingest alot of protein, about 1 1/2 grams per pound of bodyweight. Protein is the building block of muscle tissue and a high protein diet will also burn fat cells in the body. Add about an hour a day of cardio work as well such as running or swimming.


So as any guy should know, your testicles move a little to regulate heat and respond to stress.  Sometimes my right one goes up farther into my body then the other one ever does.  it is very uncomfotable, and i'm wondering if that means I should get this checked out?

This shouldn't be a problem. Many guys have this especially when they are having sex and they are about to climax.\n\nMake sure that your testicle does not remain in your body. That is to say, your testicle should return back in the scrotum shortly.\n\nNonetheless, it might not be a bad idea to have this checked in your next physical.\n\nGood Luck!

Can anyone direct me to any websites or books etc covering the subject of \n\n "Cognitive rehabilitation and games for Alzheimer's disease"\n\nI am looking for any papers or scientific studies that may have been undertaken particular supporting the use of the game ‘Dominos’ for the treatment of Alzheimer's patients.\n\nAny help would be very welcome!\n\nMany thanks in advance.

I looked around online and I found a lot of mentions of people with AD and dominos but nothing that looked like a scientific study.\nI wouldn't say that playing dominos could TREAT AD--it's more like a simple game someone suffering from AD could still play.\nI do a lot of puzzles with my dad--he likes to match up pieces with lines on them, or with words (he can still read, but with difficulty).\nYou might want to write to the Alzheimer's Association--they are up on all the studies and treatments.


I would like to play for my JV Basketball team at school. One problem, okay two, im not great at anything except rebounding, when i feel like it, and i cant shoot for my life.. oh and im slow... any sggestions on a way to get a spot at CENNNNTTTTTEERRRRRRRRR

First of all, it's great that you're out there playing every day after school... you'll never get better by sitting at home playing NBA 2K6 or whatever the latest version is.\n\nThis might not be easy (but few things that are worthwhile ARE), but ask the coach to show you some drills you can practice to improve the weaker aspects of your game... \n\nBelieve me, it is in the coach's best interest to help you improve, since you'll eventually be playing for him (we hope!).\n\nIf you're an exceptional rebounder, that's great! There are way too many players out there who don't play a good all around game because shooting is THEIR only skill. And they're a dime-a-dozen. \n\nCoaches consider good rebounders to be worth their weight in GOLD!  Forget Dennis Rodman, ever hear of a guy named Bill Russell?\n\nIf shooting is the weakest part of your game, then practice your shooting...\n\nBut don't worry about practicing 20 foot shots... if you're going to be a center, you need to be a proficient offensive player around the basket. Ask the coach to show you the proper way to shoot turn around jump shots in the low post position. \n\nAlso, work on being able to shoot with EITHER hand. If you can shoot with either hand while you're in close to the basket, it'll be a HUGE advantage for you in game situations. This way, you'll be able to shoot no matter where you are in relation to the basket (sometimes, you'll find that the only way to get a shot off is by shooting with your "off" hand, especially under the basket, in traffic). This will also enable you to get a lot of shots off without having them blocked.\n\nBut as I said, don't worry about outside shots, you can practice those once you get proficient around the basket (and they'll come easier once you develop a bit of a touch).\nBut DO practice free throw shooting. If you become a good offensive player around the basket, you'll find yourself at the free throw line more than you think. Especially if you're a good offensive rebounder!\n\nAsk the JV coach to work out with you one time after school...he'll be able to tell what your strong and weak points are, and then give you some exercises to improve your weak points. \n\nThe earlier post was also correct about upper-body strength. You will NEED this big time as a center.... the coach can put you on a weight workout routine (probably every OTHER day, not every day), but make sure you stick to what he tells you, and don't cheat, because you'll (all together now, kids) ONLY BE HURTING YOURSELF .... very good, kids.\n\nAlso, DO run a lot... but rather than running a mile every day (not that there's anything wrong with that), work on sprints.  \n\nBasketball is not a marathon, it's a game of starting and stopping. And it's the starting and stopping that tends to wear you out, especially if you're a big guy. \n\nIn practice, basketball teams run what they call 'suicide' drills... in this drill, which is a running drill, the players line up along one of the end lines... they then do the following:\n\n1) run and touch the nearest foul line (or a spot on the floor even with the foul line, this way the players can be spread out more)\n\n2) Run back and touch the starting line (end line)\n\n3) Run and touch the mid-court line\n\n4) Run back and touch the starting line\n\n5) Run and touch the foul line at the other half of the court\n\n6) Run back to and touch the starting line\n\n7) Run to the far baseline on the other end of the court\n\n8) Run back and cross the starting line.\n\nIf you don't have an actual court available, you can do this in your yard, or in the street (make sure there's not too much traffic of course!).\n\nThe distances to these points are: 15 feet to the nearest foul line, 47 feet to the mid-court line, 79 feet to the foul line furthest from the starting line, and 94 feet to the other end line.  And if


i saw over the hedge and it was amazing. i dont know anything about the da vinci code i didnt read the book everyones talking about it ive heard good and bad about it should i see it

I'm an ordained evangelical minister and see no problem with either the movie or the book. The problem is that Dan Brown has stated that the book and movie are fictional, but Christians say it's misleading--but their problem is that they are trying to pick apart DVC without going to the Bible to find out what is true in DVC and what isn't. If they'd just stick with the Bible as their source for truth and read it and absorb it, and keep in mind that DVC is fiction, then it's absolutely no problem. I just wonder how many Christians are seeing the movie or reading the book without opening their Bibles. :-(


I don't think so...1 * -1 = -1. But that's inccorrect because they are not like terms. That's amazing. There is no square root of one. I'm enthralled. Are you as well?

Yes, there is. The square root of negative 1 is the number i, which is an "Imaginary Number." \n\nDespite the name, imaginary numbers are real quantities that are used in equations to get real answers. However, they are a somewhat confusing concept, mathematically. \n\nOne way to visualize them is to consider that multiplication by an imaginary number rotates a function orthogonally on a number axis. The answers given by performing this procedure once may not seem to be applicable to real situatons, but if you multiply by an imaginary number again, in rotates the function back onto the initial axis, yielding real number results. \n\nI am including links to a number of good sites on imaginary numbers. Although it can be difficult to understand the implications of imaginary numbers beyond the fact that their squares are negative, if you spend some time on these sites, I'm sure you'll come to understand them.


The building owner told me it would take 10 minutes to reverse the refrigerator doors before I move in. Right now the hinges are on the left and the handle on the right.\n\nIs it really that simple to reverse the doors? I'm wondering if he is just telling me this, and after I pay the security deposit, and sign the lease, he won't change a thing.

it depends upon your comfort level of trying to do the thing that someone else says it is simple to do.  For them, that could be the case because they are familiar with the processes involved, or having the correct tools for the job.\n\n for example, I will gladly pay someone to change or fix my flat tire on my bike.  If I did it, it would cost me time (about 30 minutes) or I could pay someone to do it, and it would take them 5 minutes.\n\nSo, I am sure the building owner would take ten minutes to do the job, but if I did it, well...it would take me ten times that long, and they still might not close properly.\n\nBuilding owners suck.


Such as AP U.S. History or A.P. Bio (I have already taken the course)

I found several sites that seem to indicate you can re-take AP exams the following year (if you are still in high school). You might want to check with your school or A.P. teachers to make sure. There may be a higher charge on a retake. I knew a few people in high school who only got a 2 or 3 and retook them to get a high score the next year.

I work in a health care facility and everyone complains that the space is too small on the admisssion form to answer " List all prescription medicines you take, some clients come in with large freezer bags full of their bottles or two page lists.

I'm just wondering if anyone has thought about the way spelling in languages change, especially english, over a period of time...the way some words are spelled has changed from the first spelling of the word...so if that is the case then will the way things are spelled change to the way we type on messenger?? example: u for you, r for are, etc.

Language is not static and it evolves according to the social circumstances in which it is spoken. So English 300 years from now will be as different as Elizabethan English is now. Jules. Australia.

First one to answer is my hero... and gets 10 points.

Atelectasis is basically just a term to describe complete or partial collapse of the lungs. \n\nIn this condition, there is a failure of the lung to expand (inflate) completely. This may be caused by a blocked airway, a tumor, general anesthesia, pneumonia or other lung infections, lung disease, or long-term bedrest with shallow breathing. Sometimes called a collapsed lung.\n\nHope that helps :)

Type up a mock day-schedule. Include things like Ice-breakers to learn student names, review what the students did over the summer, review what they learned last year...things of that nature. Make it colorful. If you want to go all out, make a colorful poster with everything on it.


What is the difference between digestion and absorption?  Where does most absorption take place in the digestive system and what anatomical modifications allow for sufficent absorption of nutrients?

Digestion is merely the series of physical and chemical changes that food undergoes within the body in preparation for nutrients to be absorbed. Physical changes such as chewing and swallowing, and chemical changes that involve the digestive juices (enzymes) cause the breakdown of foods. The three main types of energy-yielding nutrients dependent upon digestion are carbohydrates, protein and fats.\n\nAbsorption is the process by which nutrients are taken up by the intestines and passed into the bloodstream to be delivered to all cells in the body. Absorption of nutrients takes place mainly in the small intestine, where its surface area is comparable to a quarter of a football field and its length is 20 feet! The intestine fits into your stomach with hundreds of folds. Its surface is covered with billions of small "finger" like projections called villi. These villi are in constant motion and covered in microscopic "hair" like strands that trap the now tiny nutrients and help them move into the villi cells. \n\nMetabolism is the process of all the chemical changes that nutrients undergo from the time they are absorbed until they become part of the body or are excreted. Metabolism is the conversion of digested nutrients into the components for energy or building materials.

We talk about Ancient Greek religion as "mythology" and marvel at the imagination of the stories involving gods and men.  If you read the Greek "mythology" story of Pandora's Box, for example, and compare it with the Adam and Eve story there are strong similarities: the creation of the first woman, woman breaking the god's law and unleashing evils and the loss of paradise.

Sure; that's what happens to every religion in its turn. Nobody attends the Church of Odin these days.


I am writing an article and I need help deciding whether to use the phrase "I am constantly amazed..." or "I am continually amazed."

Constantly means:::seemingly uninterrupted\nwithout variation or change ,without interruption.\n\nFor eg: "The world is constantly changing!"\n\nContinually means: without  cessation;unceasingly;continuously. In regular or repeated succession.\n\nFor eg: "The current flows continually.\n\nSo  lets look at  it  again\nCONTINUALLY \nadv. It does it again and again (start … end … start …end …and so on)\nCONTINUOUS \nadj. It begins and never ends (start ……… no end)\nCONSTANTLY \nadv. Without interruption; "the world is constantly changing"\nadv. Seemingly uninterrupted; "constantly bullied by his big brother"; "was perpetually answering the doorbell"\nadv. Without variation or change; "constantly kind and gracious"\n\nSeems constantly is used more flexibly with the nuance of difference in the last definition .\n\n\nSo  please see which  word would suit  the context  best  and use it  and all the Best  for your article!


Hey does any one know of the dark zodiac if you do can you give me a list and how can you determin what you are in that zodiac can you please tell me much appreciated

The Black Zodiac -- Seems to have come from tarot cards.  It also comes from a movie called 13 ghosts.\n\nThe twelve ghosts which make up the Black Zodiac all have their own unique back story, and while these were not described in the film, the production and make-up teams used them as guidelines. All the ghosts were contained in glass prisons, and were caught with the aid of the psychic Rafkin, who could locate them, and on the behalf of Cyrus.\n\n1. The First Born Son (played by Mikhael Speidel)\n\nThe First Born Son is the ghost of a little boy called Billy Michaels, who was obsessed with cowboy films. Not heeding his parents' advice, he played Cowboys and Indians with a real bow and arrow, and the arrow went straight through his forehead.\n\n2. The Torso (played by Daniel Wesley)\n\nThe Torso is the ghost of a gambler called Jimmy Gambino. Losing everything in a poker game, he tried to welch on his bet and escape. The mob, which he owed money to, caught up with Gambino and cut him into several pieces, wrapping them in cellophane and dumping the corpse.\n\n3. The Bound Woman (played by Laura Mennel)\n\nThe Bound Woman was a cheerleader, who, after cheating on her boyfriend preceding a high school prom, was strangled by him, and was later found buried on the football field.\n\n4. The Withered Lover (played by Kathryn Anderson)\n\nThe Withered Lover is Jean Kriticos, the wife of Arthur. She died in the freak house fire while trying to rescue her children.\n\n5. The Torn Prince (played by Craig Olejnik)\n\nThe Torn Prince is the ghost of Royce Clayton, who was a baseball star. He challenged a greaser to a drag race and was killed in the ensuing crash.\n\n6. The Angry Princess (played by Shawna Loyer)\n\nThe Angry Princess is Dana Newman, who constantly tried achieving perfection with her looks, despite being beautiful. She gave up eventually after trying to preform cosmetic surgery on herself. She accidentally blinded herself and eventually slit her wrists. She was found with dozens of self-inflicted gashes on her. The movie suggests that she killed herself for another reason (In the scene when she appears in the bathroom, you see the phrase "I'm sorry" on the floor in blood; subtitles also reveal that the blurred, hisssing speech that announces her arrival is her whispering "I'm sorry"). "I'm sorry" might also be an expression of regret over having committed suicide in the first place, rather than an apology for something else.\n\n7. The Pilgrimess (played by Xantha Radley)\n\nThe Pilgrimess is the ghost of Isabella Smith, an English woman who travelled across the Atlantic and settled in New England. She was a separatist, and this isolated her from the other townsfolk. She was found guilty of witchcraft, and put to death in the stocks (pillory).\n\n8. & 9. The Great Child and The Dire Mother (played by C. Ernst Harth and Laurie Soper)\n\nThe Dire Mother is the ghost of Margaret Shelburne, who was an attraction in a carnival due to her being only three feet tall. She was raped by the "tall man" and bore a child, Harold who weighed over 300 pounds (136 kg).\n\nHarold was spoiled by his mother, who raised him to be her protector and to exact revenge on the other members of the carnival who ridiculed her. Harold, in rage, took an axe and killed a group of people harassing his mother. Later, both he and his mother were killed by a frenzied mob.\n\n10. The Hammer (played by Herbert Duncanson)\n\nThe Hammer is the ghost of a blacksmith, George Markley, who lived in a small town in the 1890s. He was driven out of town after wrongfully being accused of stealing. Enraged, he tracked down the people responsible and hammered them to death. The other townsfolk captured him, and they drove large nails into his body and cut off his hands.\n\n11. The Jackal (played by Shane Wyler)\n\nThe Jackal is Ryan Kuhn, a psychotic mental patient with a penchant for attacking women. He was permanen

I have a 730 MHz computer with 256 MB of RAM. It is a Intel Pentium III proscessor.

This depends on what programs you are considering removing.  Some programs install themselves in your start-up registry and, therefor, use memory the minute your computer starts.  Removing these programs will help alleviate your memory and speed up your computer.  Also, check in your system tray (the icons next to your clock) and see how many programs are running there.  Icons in your system tray are programs that are currently running and using up your system memory.  If there are icons there for programs you don't need to start up right away, shutting them down will also help.\n\nShort of these options, installing extra memory or a faster processor (if your motherboard will support it--Pentium III processors are cheap nowadays) will always be the best sure-fire way of increasing your speed.  If you are running Windows XP with 256MB of RAM, you are going to run slow no matter what you do.\n\nRun Anti-Spyware programs to clean up your system like Ad-Aware SE Personal and Spyware Blaster.  Also, run a program called TweakNow Registry Cleaner to clean up your start-up registry.  All of these programs can be found by going to:  www.download.com and doing a search for their titles.

say a person with aids uses the restroom before you.  can you get it?

If you walked into the bathroom & saw a toilet seat covered in blood or semen, would you sit down?  \n\nI didn't think so.  You would also need a cut on your butt for the virus to get inside your body.  \n\nDon't worry about bathrooms - you can't get HIV from toilet seats - it's only transmitted by blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk.  \n\nYou also cannot get stds (gonorrhea, chlamydia, crabs, herpes, hpv, etc.) from toilet seats.  If that myth was true - then we'd all have had an std by now -since we all have used a public restroom at least once in our lives!


im a 14 yr old girl with a 35 degree curve on my upper spine and ive been wearing a brace for 5 yrs. my dr. says im almost done growing and should be getting my brace off in the next yr. however, im really worried b/c ive been experiencing some mild back pain and for some reason i have weak back muscles and have a little trouble suporting myself (is this normal??). also i want to know if anyone wore a brace and when stopped growing got out of it w/out surgery.

Diagnosis for scoliosis is typically continued by an orthopedist. A complete medical history is taken, including questions abouta a family history of scoliosis. The physical examination includes determination of pubertal development in adolescents, a neurological examination (which may reveal a neuromuscular cause), and measurements of trunk asymmetry. Examination of the trunk is done while the patient is standing, bending over, and lying down. The forward bending test is sometimes referred to as the Adams test. It involves both visual inspection and use of a simple mechanical device called a scoliometer.\nIf a curve is detected, one or more x rays will usually be taken to define the curve or curves more precisely.\nAn x ray is used to document spinal maturity, any pelvic tilt or hip asymmetry, and the location, extent, and degree of curvature. The curve is defined in terms of its beginning and ending points, its direction, and by an angle measure known as the Cobb angle. The Cobb angle is found by projecting lines parallel to the vertebrae tops at the extremes of the curve, projecting perpendiculars from these lines, and measuring the angle of intersection. To properly track the progress of scoliosis, it is important to project from the same points of the spine each time. Occasionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used, primarily to look more closely at the condition of the spinal cord and nerve roots extending from it if neurological problems are suspected.\nMy sister is in your age and she wore Braces, there was no necessity for a surgery, please check with your dentist.

the qin dynasty was also called the Ch'in dynasty.

I am puzzled by your question - geography?\nanyway the following article is taken from travelchinaguide.com - hope it answers.\n\n\nThe king of the Qin state, Yinzheng, conquered the other six dukes through ten years of wars and brought an end to the riotous Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC) in 221 BC. He built up the Qin Dynasty - the first unified, multi-national, autocratic and power-centralized state in Chinese history - by making Xianyang, a city near Xian in the Shaanxi Province, his capital city. Although Qin is a short dynasty with a span of only fifteen years, it started off a 2,000-year-long imperial history in China and exerted a far-reaching influence on the subsequent dynasties. Except for frontiers in the west, southwest and northeast, Qin's territory has been kept fairly intact up to the present-day. To protect the northern frontier, the first Qin emperor ordered the construction of the Great Wall. He instituted centralism and a strict set of rules by which people lived in oppression. An army of peasants overthrew the harsh Qin regime just one year after the death of the Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 207 BC.\n\nPolitical History \n\nThe first Qin emperor lived from 259 BC to 210 BC. He was crowned at the age of 13 after his king father died. Since he was too young to administer his country, the real power was in the hand of the prime minister, Lu Buwei, who --allegedly--was the real father of the young emperor. Emperor Qin remained silent and continued to strengthen his own force. When the right occasion presented itself, he arrested the prime minister and sentenced him to death. Upon hearing the news, the prime minister did nothing but roar out in laughter, "Well done, well done, that is my boy." \n\n The first Qin emperor seized the power at the age of 22 in 238 BC. Soon after, he launched a unification campaign from 230 BC to 221 BC. The emperor was a great politician. After unifying the country, he carried out a series of political reforms. He divided the country into 36 prefectures, which he again subdivided into more counties. All the regional governments were subordinate to the central government, which was ruled by the emperor himself. The first Qin emperor standardized the measurement of weight and length, written script, legal system and currency. He migrated thousands of people to southern border areas to pioneer the virgin land. Since the northern tribe the Xiongnu plundered the northern frontiers repeatedly, Emperor Qin appointed one of his excellent generals - Mengtian - to the northern areas. Mengtian beat back the Xiongnu tribe and supervised the construction of the Great Wall.\n\nDespite all great jobs he did, Emperor Qin ruled as a ruthless tyrant. In order to standardize human thoughts, he burnt most of the books in the country to prevent freethinking. Furthermore, the emperor imposed heavy taxes and constrained thousands of people to work on the Great Wall. In the second year after his enthronement, he started the construction of his mausoleum, which took almost 700,000 conscripts over 30 years to complete. In order to continue his reign after his death, he also ordered the construction of the Terra-Cotta Army east of his mausoleum.\n\n The tyranny of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and his successor resulted in wide opposition throughout the country. Peasant uprisings continually struck the regime of the Qin. Finally, in 207 BC, Xiangyu's army inflicted heavy losses on the Qin army; and in the following year, Liu Bang broke Xianyang, the capital of Qin, thus putting an end to the notorious Qin Dynasty.\n\nLater, in pursuit of the domination of the country, a four-year war known as the Chu-Han War broke out between Xiangyu and Liu Bang. Finally, Liu Bang defeated Xiangyu in 202 BC and established the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD), after which he proclaimed himself the emperor of the Han.


Do you know any good websites that buy Web-page templates?

There are too many websites that already have webpage templates that people can just download for free.\n\nI do not think you will be able to sell them easily.


i just want to know if i could ever return

As everyone else has said if you leave on your own accord its not deportation? However unless you can give a valid reason for why you overstayed it is likely to effect you when you reaply to come back its still possible you could be granted a visitors visa again but it also depends on how long you overstayed for? if you needed to cliam public funds when you were in the UK. It's also possible your passport my even get a big "W" stamped on it which means warning. This will hi-light to a ECO (entry clearance officer) in any country you have broken your immigration commitments in the UK. This could also affect you geting Visas in other countries too. This is normally only given to repeat offenders so if this is the first time you have overstayed take the slap on the wrist, and make sure you dont make the same mistake twice otherwise the penalty could be a lot worse.\n\ngood luck \n\nmgi1975


I have actualy a few questions regarding acidobacteria. In addition to its trophics, how does it exploit its environment to make ATP and NADPH. For the ATP does the synthetic process resemble closer to the glycosis cycle, krebs cycle, or respiration. Thanks to all those who help!

Many of them oxidize H2S\n\nso its like water but using sulphur, thats why a lot of these bacteria are purple. \n\nheres an abstract on how they work, or at least will give you a general idea ans some examples!\n\nSeven strains of heterotrophic iron-oxidizing acidophilic bacteria were examined to determine their abilities to promote oxidative dissolution of pyrite (FeS2) when they were grown in pure cultures and in mixed cultures with sulfur-oxidizing Thiobacillus spp. Only one of the isolates (strain T-24) oxidized pyrite when it was grown in pyrite-basal salts medium. However, when pyrite-containing cultures were supplemented with 0.02% (wt/vol) yeast extract, most of the isolates oxidized pyrite, and one (strain T-24) promoted rates of mineral dissolution similar to the rates observed with the iron-oxidizing autotroph Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Pyrite oxidation by another isolate (strain T-21) occurred in cultures containing between 0.005 and 0.05% (wt/vol) yeast extract but was completely inhibited in cultures containing 0.5% yeast extract. Ferrous iron was also needed for mineral dissolution by the iron-oxidizing heterotrophs, indicating that these organisms oxidize pyrite via the "indirect" mechanism. Mixed cultures of three isolates (strains T-21, T-23, and T-24) and the sulfur-oxidizing autotroph Thiobacillus thiooxidans promoted pyrite dissolution; since neither strains T-21 and T-23 nor T. thiooxidans could oxidize this mineral in yeast extract-free media, this was a novel example of bacterial synergism. Mixed cultures of strains T-21 and T-23 and the sulfur-oxidizing mixotroph Thiobacillus acidophilus also oxidized pyrite but to a lesser extent than did mixed cultures containing T. thiooxidans. Pyrite leaching by strain T-23 grown in an organic compound-rich medium and incubated either shaken or unshaken was also assessed. The potential environmental significance of iron-oxidizing heterotrophs in accelerating pyrite oxidation is discussed.


Eyebrows or eyelashes for example appear to stop growing once they have reached a certain length, and even if you cut them they'll grow back to the same length. Why is this when hairs on your head or face just keep on growing? How do they know how long they are?

You have two different types of bodily hair.  One is called terminal and the other is called vellus.  Terminal hair is the longer growing hair that is on your head, legs and things like that.  So, to answer why do they keep growing it is bc of the type of hair it is.  The vellus hair doesn't know how long it is....it only grows to a certain length according to your own body type.  I hope this helped a little bit


Is it true that jobless American citizens have no social security, won't be able to visit a doctor($$$), can't afford buying some "pills" due to the lack of a decent income?\nIf so : what is the U.S. gvt. doing for its own people !?\nThey can send tonns of aid to the third world, (which is excellent, of course), but they can't help their homeless, their poor, their sick?\nDon't they care about them?\nNot everyone has the change to get a job...\nSenators : stand up and fight for your fellow citizens !

Your wasting your breath dude. Senators nor anyone else who make over 200,000 a year don't give a crap about you. All of what you stated is correct. That is why it is important to start saving your money for retirement instead of filling your SUV with gas like most stupid people are doing. I'm not saying your stupid or own a SUV I'm just saying look out for yourself because nobody else is going to do it.


I've bought a new laptop and want to transfer my information to it from the old one. Can I connect them together or something?  Surely I don't have to do it all bit by bit with a flash drive?  I'm particularly worried about my music in iTunes as it took three days to put on!

if they both have an ethernet port (this looks like an oversized phone line) then you can connect them together with a special ethernet cable called a cross over cable. this can be obtained at your local computer store, or maybe bestbuy. this is a fast way, it can also be done by a direct firewire link, or an oldfashioned serial link(very slow) or through a network switch/hub/router. this also uses a regular ethernet cable, and any of the hardware mentioned above.


Any problem for me if my GIS programme is master of Arts??? I'm a chinese girl studying GIS in Malaysia. Because the Geography department is in Faculty Arts and Social Science, and no other GIS programme in any other department. But one of my undergraduate friend went to UK, and she got her degree in MSC. I wonder when i'm going to find a GIS job, will the company treat us different cos of the degree???? Even I'm in faculty Arts, i finishe my thesis using ArcGIS, Java, SQL etc... Pls help me and answer me!!!

I have a degree in GIS and since I've been in the industry for over 3 years, I can tell you that I honestly think there would be no difference whether you got your degree from and Arts program or from a science program.  What really matters on your resume is your skillset.  Like you said, you have ArcGIS, SQL, etc experience...and that is what is going to land you your job.  They probably won't even remember seeing that your program is in Arts.  Just keep working hard at it and your experience and knowledge will take you where you want to go.


what is the duty of accountants and the work they do in the merging and acquisition process?

The accountants work with the lawyers to complete the contracts and provide any financial summeries etc that may be required (especially if the company is public).


My Life: fate or a choice?\nSometimes in my life troubls came along I didn’t know how to deal with it for me it causes by people who were trying to push me to do things that is so difficult for me to do but when things are easy for me opportunity is not there or seems like opportunity are kept by people who always there to help while exploiting you.\n\nSometime I asked for work and I got hired it was so easy the first time then getting heavy and heavier until I do all the work when I quit He kick me out so I said ok I’ll work again I need a roof for my head.\n\nThey needed workers when their workers quit so I and my friend was called He is an Illegal Alien but It does not matter (I am just jelous) we are there for work. The deals? He’ll be working for money and I will be working for lesser rent and I will do heavy jobs and He have to do easy Jobs. \n\nI am in the mental health system but I am capable to do work as that guy can. Fate or Choice.

Both. And I quote. "Fate is the path we are destined to take. Choice is how we get there". Make the right decision and the rest will fall into place.


I am looking for the spelling of this so I can get a tattoo.

Bellum confectum est (the war has ended)\nBellum compositum est (the war has finished by agreement)\n\nThese phrases are taken from Latin authors such as Caesar and Cicero.


I thought when he made rey say May 19 that was crule then kane came out but when JBL said it and his whole plan blew in his face that was hilarius LOL

I vwas hilarious, let me tell you when he wanted to get in trouble Rey he got in by himself.He is a nerd,idiot and everything


I need to answer these within 10 hours, so I was hoping someone could just pop up with the answers for me, thx.


I went 2prom with this guy but we werent dating but he wrote me a note saying he wants 2 brake up! what 1 do?? He's my best-friends cousin and I really like him but we weren't dating but in the note he said he always gets dumped so he dumped me? I'm really confused.

hes probably a sore loser because girls dump him so he takes it out on you. my advice is find some one who can treat you right and in the way you deserve to be treated.


WILL HE BE HAPPY OR STOP BREATHING INSTANTLY.. LIKE SNAP! KA-CHING! DEADMAN.. DEADMAN!!!

Alright, little idiot.  I do not think you should do that.  In fact, if anyone who knows you knows you posted this question and you DO decide to do that, it could be construed as an attempt to MURDER your friend.  And I use the term FRIEND loosely in this instance because you don't sound like any parts of a friend if this holds even the slightest bit of appeal for you.


Which is better for you? just curious. :]

Washing your hands is always the best thing. If nothing else is available, then sanitizer is the next best thing.


It's different for every girl. Some girls have already torn their hymen by the time they have sex, usually as part of a normal, active lifestyle. Other girls have stretchy, or "elastic" hymens, which stretch instead of tearing. Some girls   are born entirely without hymens, while some girls have really thick ones. The point of this is that each girl is unique, which makes it a little hard to answer your question. \n\nIn most cases, there is some discomfort with initial penetration, and if you have a hymen, there will probably be pain, and a little bleeding (After all, you're not used to having a penis in there!), but it's usually mild to moderate and fades quickly. In order to make things as wonderful as humanly possible, it is SUPER-DUPER, AMAZINGLY important that you take things slow the first few times. Make sure you're fully aroused, and please, for the love of all things sexual, use some water-based lube (petroleum-based lube can dissolve latex condoms). If you experience discomfort or pain, slow down, and wait a bit before proceeding.\n\nAlso, please be aware that for most girls, the first few times are kind of dissapointing when it comes to the actual sex...it takes a while to find your rhythem and discover what you like. So, go forth, be safe, and, above all, HAVE FUN!\n\nIf you have more questions, or if you just feel like poking around, I might recommend www.scarleteen.com, these guys helped me out a lot in my teen years (and beyond). They provide honest, clear information about sex, sexuality, your body, and a bunch of weird stuff that us girls think about.


What would you call the WWE by the letters if not World Wrestling Entertainment?\n(i.e.) Wishy Washy Entertainment\n\nthis is just for kicks!


ok..heres the deal...ive missed a couple days at school but im a good student. ive always been a good student but i studied abroad for five years.

I'm not really asking for advice because you are all strangers and I don't have the space to explain the complete situation on here.  I just want an opinion (Preferably from more experienced folks).  Here it goes:  I am in love with my best friend.  Yes, I know it's love.  He is the best thing that has ever happened to me next to becoming a Christian.  However, he says he loves me only as a sister/best friend.  It's kind of strange though, because EVERYONE thinks we're dating - strangers and friends.  Doesn't that sometimes sman that you like/love each other?  I mean kind of?  He calls me everyday, even when he went out of town 10 hours away and we hang out a lot and we always joke around and stuff but we have really deep conversations too.  Sometimes we talk the night away on the phone.  There are 2 problems though:  He's 3 years older than me (I guess you could say I'm extremely mature for my age) and he says he likes someone but wants to get over her.

My opinion is that ur best bet is to stay friends with him i was once in love with my best friend and we started to date and i lost him forever! trust me you don't want that and if you really love him you will save the hurt from both of you! you know what i am saying i know it will be hard for you to not go out with him but think about it when yall start dating you will find things out about him that you never knew and on top of all that alot of problems will arise! So trust me on this girl stay friends its for the best of both of you! Save the hearbreak!

When you go over your limit of 200 dollars for a 48 hour period, if you hold a native band card do you still have to pay the duty or are natives exempt

It's been awhiles since that has happened to me(2001), but i did have to pay duty on it, even with the status card


How do you makeout, What do you do with your toungue? Dont say do whatever feels right, tell me the truth!!!!!

it's that feeling after and during the kiss...that *click*... The click is when you feel warm and connected to the person....it's nice...\n\nHow do you make out...let's see... I can't really explain that one, that's just something you keep trying to do until you get it right...i didn't need practice...lol


I've had these seizure like episodes since I was 12 and no doctor has found anything medically wrong with me nor have they been able to stop them. It's possibly caused by stress, my roomates neurologist recomended that I try ginger root. Any experiences?

If you are looking for scientific evidence for the benefits of ginger, then there is not much available yet! Several recent, but preliminary scientific studies have shown evidence that ginger contains molecular compounds with different medicinal effects. These results may happen when tested alone or in combination with other chemicals. How they work may involve multiple mechanisms, but there seems to be an ability for these chemicals to reduce inflammation, reduce rapidly growing tumor cells, and even help antibiotics get inside bacteria!\n\nI am only aware of one published study from India about ginger and seizures, and it only involved animals. It seems that one or more compounds present in ginger not only seemed to reduce seizures (anticonvulsant effect), but might also reduce anxiety (anxiolytic effect) and nausea (anti-emetic effect).\n\nBefore you run out and invest in a ginger company, or stock your shelves with jars of pureed ginger, please realize that the available evidence only occurs in a laboratory setting, like in test tubes. There is no way to be sure that these same effects happen inside a living human body. It is very difficult to assume how much benefit there could be, or whether there remains any benefit after interacting with other chemicals present in ginger, other chemicals in the body, or other medicines one might take.\n\nThat being said, wouldn't it be really nice if your seizures were controlled better with a ginger supplement or a little extra ginger flavor to your meal? It certainly would be worth a try if you like the taste and you are not taking the blood thinner Coumadin (warfarin). \n\nIf you do decide to try some ginger, then I would strongly recommend keeping a log of your seizures and when you consume ginger in any form to see if there seems to be any relationship.

Why is it that Fear Factor won't show people throwing up on T.V., but if anyone has noticed, Americas Funniest Videos, I have seen people throwing up.

You, my friend, need a life.....like me.


my gilfriend or maybe my ex by now... has started cutting, I need to help show her that its dangerous for your health, are there any good sites about this? I still lover her and I cant let her hurt / kill herself.

My son start cutting himself 5 years ago.  The best thing that I did was to educate myself about why he was doing it.  I went into chat rooms for cutters, read blogs by cutters, did anything I could to interact with others who cut.  \n\nShe is not trying to kill herself.  If you can get her to talk about it, great.  Until then, try to find out why people cut from cutters themselves.


I 25 and taking women home from a bar is boring and it's a let down. It's weird thou cause I'll be talking and laughing with a woman and an hour or 2 passes and we don't realize it. My thing now is like hey lets meet up some time next week and get lunch or ice cream something to that effect and chill n talk. Honestly I don't get calls back when I do that and I'm not nieve I can tell early in the conversation if she wants to be talking to me or if she's like please move on I pay attention. When I offer to come back to the crib drink some wine or something I'm in, but when I want to show restraint and maybe go out a few times get to know n talk to me the sex is better once I know her. I love sex I don't like to do it once and roll over screw that lets kiss and touch and spank and rub and F*** and all that good ish until we both pass out and wake up and do it again. Do women just assume Im not capable of that becasue I'm saying hey lets meet up later this week instead of come over tonight

honey, it's not an indication that you're boring in bed. it's an indication that you care about a woman and not just whats between her legs. I think it's a very gentlemanly thing to do and girls like me loooove it when guys want to do that. You just happen to attract women who disagree. Oh, by the way, bars are not the greatest places to meet respectable women.


I have always been good at Math & up until this year, the lowest grade I've ever had in Math is a 97 out of 100...however, now I'm doing really, really bad...\nMy Math teacher is a jerk and does not know how to teach...he goes through each chapter way too fast (in less than 1 week we went through a whole chapter which has 7 sections) & takes the class too seriously because it's an honor's class...everyone in the class is doing bad...he tells us to see him before or after school for extra help, however, if he explains something once & you don't get it & ask him to repeat it, he'll get mad...I just don't know what to do & I'm afraid I may fail his class...Everytime I start to get something, he moves on...& when we complain he tells us that he expects better from us\nI can't switch out of the class now 'cause it's way too late & the finals are around the corner...AND I'M A SENIOR which means that I really need to pass that class (Pre-Calculus, by the way)...HELP...I need some tips...

I had this same problem (but in college so I'm really feelin' for you!).  I think the study group is an excellent idea.  I would also express your concerns to your student advisor.  This guy should not be teaching and is obviously ill-suited to teach this subject.  Just because someone knows a subject doesn't mean they can teach it.  I would seriously get everyone in the class together and try to ask your teacher if everyone is supposed to be feeling so frustrated and afraid that they are going to fail.  If he gives everyone in the class a low grade it will reflect badly on him so if he is still being unreasonable suggest that he grade on the bell curve and hope you are on the good side of the curve.  This is a tough problem but definitely let someone in the school administration know that this is going on.  Good luck.


My best friend's son just recently celebrated his second birthday. His dad fell asleep on the couch(how rude). So I guess the kid got offended. I was looking at a movie when all of a sudden I hear this loud bang. He had picked up a gift(a keyboard) and slapped his father in the face with it so hard. My best friend and I were laughing so hard. We still dwell on it til this day and it happened in March.


what does the build up of goo come from,and is there a good cause for it?

You have small, fine hairs in your nose and lungs as a filtration system to keep anything unhealthy from getting in. Unfortunately, the hairs, to do their job, are very moist and sticky, like fly paper. Eventually, there is a build up of waste, and you sneeze (nose) or cough (lungs) to clear it out. Then you grow new hairs and start again.\nThis is why smokers are constantly coughing. And why they get lung cancer when they've overloaded their lungs filtering system.


im going to be taking the pill soon and i was wondering wen i go on holiday at the end of june what will i do abou the time difference... the time difference is 5 hours... do i take it at the time as when im on hloiday or do i take it at the time in the u.k i don't know what to do.

if you usually take it at say 5 pm you just see the time difference and that is in the uk say 1 pm. so you take it at 5 pm your time which might be as i said 1 pm uk time.


i want to use the browser from the linux terminal and download files which are few MBs

I'm doing a paper for school on US policy in the middle east.

This is actually a far more complicated issues.  The sentiments against US foreign policy started long ago.  The nature of the complaints about of policy has also changed over the years.  \n\nSome argue that the US is trying to wipe out Islam.  \nSome argue we are trying to corrupt them and force them to our devilish ways.\nSome argue we don't send them enough money.  \nSome argue we don't do enough to protect them from corrupt leaders.\n \nThere is no one reason that the Middle East is opposed to our policy.  But, for these folks just mention the war issue -> they need to take a nice hard look at the human rights track record of Middle Eastern countries.  Did someone miss the memo about Hussien tossing pregnant women into wood chippers?  Did someone miss the part about how long journalists is countries like Iran (which is not Arabs) spend in prison for supporting reformist views?


I have asked a similar question before but didn't really get anything helpful, because the answers that I got I had already tried before. I am a very sexual person and need that in my husband however, we will go weeks even months without it, even if I initiate it, he says hes tired. I know that he is not cheating on me, hes to busy and I always know where hes at(small town) I am pretty adventurous and don't know what to do. Any ideas!


If you chew food, but then spit it out, do you still retain much of the calories?

Im curious why you are asking in the first place. Im hoping you arent getting caught up in that whole I need to starve myself to be beautiful deal. \n\ncalories are units of energy, needed for life. Without them life is not possible, period. \n\nWhen you chew your food, your saliva mixes with that food to digest it. Saliva is full of enzymes needed for proper digestion. So in essence , when chewing your food you are indeed deriving some caloric intake from it when you swallow your saliva, but not much. \n\nSo I suppose the proper answer would be no, you are not getting much caloric intake from chewing alone. \n\nBut trust me, your body will pay for it.


cops always try to punk me with words and fist's? Just to find out that they are the ones getting punked? but why do they keep going on after they know im right?


my son's dream high school is the best in the state, he has all A grades, but still... we are only applying to this high school. I am severely worried about it, because it is a college prep, but the local one is probably the worst in the state.

Just apply at the college prep one, he will do fine! Pressure is good for a kids that has dreams!


My best friend is a guy and I'm starting to like him as more than a friend and everybody knows that I like him and all of my friends tell me that he likes me and everyone thinks that we should go out with each other but I'm afraid to ask him out because if he says no then it could wreck our friendship but if I don't ask him out then I could be passing up a perfect chance. I need help and quick.

well u cant always listen to ur friends, u have to ask him yourself. just tell him ur feelings then see where it goes from there.


the girl i like has a boyfriend. i like her and i don't know what to do to be with her. should i tell her that i like her?

nothing wrong in letting her know as long as you dont try to break up her current relationship and dont hang around waiting for them to split up. However if they do finish, then make sure you're THE man and not mr rebound.


Who are some other great artists or bands like the ones above? What about R & B singers?

Well it's all a matter of taste. I happen to think that all of the above mentioned bands happen to suck. As for R&B, you can't go wrong with the legends: Patti Labelle, Diana Ross, B.B. King, etc. In my opinion, most mainstream music lacks creativity and depth which is why I don't listen to the radio often. I prefer bands and artists that aren't played on the radio (at least not where I live) like Rufus Wainright, Tori Amos, Ben Folds, The Shins.


They why are they are in the process of murdering 500,000 Dafurian Muslims because they are black. And why did they recently murdered 2 million Southern Sudanese because they were Christian.

Good point, but there are more things these slimy fools are doing in Africa.  Raping women, killing Christian women and children, burning churches, torturing kids that refuse to memorize their unholy book and more.  Want proof?  Seek it on this link then!

I use many misc. programs downloaded from the internet, all have been scanned and are virus free. I use Shaw Secure, and keep it updated religously, at least once a day. I also use AVG Antvirus and it is fully updated as well. Windows firewall is off, but shaw secure is on. If you need any other info please ask and i will supply it if i can. \n\nThanx in advance

Oh boy we have a serious problem in hand.\nWhen a computer shuts down withou warning or is unable to load files properly or start up there can be various reason for it .\nSo i would ask you o go step by step.\n\nFirst of all the best thing to check id the RAM .\nIf you are using two cards then try checking each one of them one by one and also trying changiong the slot.\n\nThen you can try to check the HDD by taking it to a friends place and try to boot with a totally different configuration.That wolud let you know if you HDD has gone bad or not.\n\nNext if you knoe that it is not the RAM or the HDD then there could be some other hardwae or software problem for that check if your processor Chip gets heatted up quickly or not.\n\nAlso check if any ot the other Hardware device gets heated up wuickly or not.If it does than that hardware needs to be replaced.\n\nAlso for software if uyou have cd burner first burm all the software on a cd.Then format your HDD with a new installation.That will let you know which software ios causing the problem.\n\n--------\nNote:-\nBefore you try out all this first try to contact your manufacturer if possibel to check if thee is any warrenty.\n--------


I was wondering if anyone has used or know anyone who has used the ear training cd course called Golden Ears by David Moulton. Did it work? Was it a worthy investment ($220)? How soon could you tell the difference in the way you heard music? Are there any better ear training programs you know of? Any tips or info you have would be very helpful. I need to train my ears to hear the different audio frequencys.

i tried a sample of an ear training course and it didn't work for me
