We ground him, remove privileges, talk to him, but nothing works, he still skips school. He's in grade 9, he leaves the house to go to school, but never arrives there. We personally take him there and within a few minutes the schools calling to ask why he's not at school. We go looking for him, talk to him and it starts all over again. I don't know what else to do with him.

Why does he say that he is skipping school?  Is he going and hanging out with friends?  Is he by himself?  \n\nThere could be several different reasons why he is skipping school.  He could be bored at school, he could be heavily teased and tries to avoid it, he could feel stupid and seeks to avoid that, etc.\n\nYou need to find out why he is skipping.  Once you do that, you can work to help fix it.  \n\nIf he feels stupid, get him a cute female tutor.  That will get him to pay attention and seek to do better.\n\nIf he is teased at school, he might need a new image.  Take him to a contemporary clothing store and a hairstylist.   Enroll him and either yourself or your partner in a fitness class (like weight lifting) at a municipal parks and rec facility.  Sad, but true, most teens (and everyone else) are very superficial.  If you do not dress or look like you belong, you won't.\n\nYou might want to bite the bullet and talk to his friend's parents.  Explain what is happening and ask their opinion of your son.  Ask how they handle their children.  It is embarrassing to do this, but maybe they know something that you don't.\n\nFind out some of the things that your son loves.  Enroll him in classes that will help him learn more about those subjects.  If he loves music, enroll him in guitar or voice lessons.  Let the teacher know what the problem is... if they're decent, they should be able to show the link between knowledge and performance of the activitiy (i.e. music is mathematically based).\n\nGood Luck!

This is the type of question I need answered in order to believe that the Bible is the Word of God.  \n\nIn 2 Kings 9:4-10, the prophet Elisha tells Jehu that God anoints him King over Israel, and God commands him to strike down the house of Ahab, killing all males in his household, slave and free.\n\nHosea 1:4-5 however, says that God will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel (the site of the slaughter).  \n\nAm I misunderstanding these verses?  It seems like God is commanding the killings in one verse.  Then in another, he is punishing the people for carrying out those very killings.

The bible states that he uses others in his work so maybe the way it should be read is that he is using one to punish the other.


i want to type a number into the power of 17. soory its a boring question but its getting me annoyed.

It does not seem as if he is acutally making much traction. \nCan it get worse?

I think it will bottom out about 25% corresponding to the number of far right wing radicals that want to come in your house and legislate their morality. I think most of the centrist will swing away and of course the far left, the ones that want to regulate your poops will always be away. so if something don't happen soon his popularity will keep going down. I don't see anything that will change due to his far right affiliation.


Girls whom think they have ALL of the answers and are so bored with the mess they've made of their lives, so they try to make your life hell???\nAnd then there are the readers to this website that try to report people for questions that are totally up for fair game, but somehow offend them even though it makes a great point???\nWhat about the people that don't understand that sex is educational, and if a question was posted that you have a great answer too.... why should we not be able to answer it, even if it sounds gross its still the "technical" answer. Right???\nWhy - why- why???\nDo you know why???\nBest answer... I'll give you more than 10 points!!!

Why? Because some people  are here only for the purpose of starting drama. Some people have been programmed that they are right all the time, 24/7. Some people will stop at nothing to prove that they are somehow better that you, and often do not consider the consequences of their actions. Every day I am forced to watch as people degrade themselves and others trying to give themselves the satisfaction of a false superiority.


can it be switched to red for example ? (becoz green is its standard)\n\nor because of its technological limitation ?\n\nHOW DO NVG WORKS (is it the same with the night mode in digital cameras/camcorders)

Two answers:  First, green phosphor tubes are the best suited for the application.  The eye's greatest sensitivity is in the green-yellow portion of the spectrum and thus things appear brightest to us in that color range.  It's also less fatiguing to the eye.  Green phosphor is efficient and doesn't require much power to operate.\n\nNVG and camcorder night mode are not the same.

What is the difference between a portal and a website?

A portal is a Web site that is designed to allow users to customize the content they get, based on their interests. It generally brings in a lot of information from a number of sources, and allows users to select that content.\n\nA Web site generally puts out the information it wants you to see.\n\nIt's the old "all beagles are dogs, but not all dogs are beagles" thing. Portals are a kind of Web site, but not all Web sites are portals.

Please consider becoming a member of my group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EarthII/

There are two main forms of energy each planet has in its orbit around the sun.\n\nObviously, the planets have some rotational kinetic energy since that are rotating around the sun and a pretty quick pace.\nRotatioal KE = 1/2 I*w^2\nwhere I is the rotational inertial of each planet and w (greek letter, lower case omega) is the rotational velocity.\nIf you treat each planet as a point mass rotating around a fixed axis (the sun), then their rotational inertia would be,\nI = mr^2\nwhere m is the mass of the planet and r is the radius away from the sun.\n\nIn addition to the rotational energy of each planet, they also have some potential energy by virtue of being some distance away from the sun.  Just like a rock has potential energy when it is lifted above the surface of the Earth, the planets too have potential energy since they are some distance away from the sun.\nGravitaional potential enegry = mgh,\nwhere m is the planets mass, g is their gravitational acceleration towards the sun and h is the orbital radiusm away from the sun.\n\n\nAs you can see, there is a lot of energy stored in the orbits of the planets.

As long as aggression meets aggression, religions battle each other and governments and politicians play out their controled dramas at the expense of the citizens of the planet...can one feel safe?

No one can not feel safe . It is only the matter when is the turn of your countay or state. It is the high time now that our leaders should bury the differences and join together to wage a war against war, which seems a distance possibilities giving their never ending greed. \nWe the comman citizen should come up now to make a force of our own which should be above the boundary of countaries. Can we give ourself to these shrewd politicians insatiable thirst.NO WE CAN NOT. If we want the coming generations to live in safety we must take this responsibility.\nMerely by expressing our views we can not change the prevailing situation can never attain  the safety.


This person abused the knowledge he has of the internet and computers - his training.  He obviously has emotional issues as he felt he had to spy on me and my child as my son uses the pc as well.  My computer was acting odd, as was my Internet and my Yahoo Messenger.  I suspected he was hacking into my pc, and then he admitted it.  He accused me of things that did not occur, so I am not sure just what his motivation was.  However, it does make me very uncomfortable that this is a person whom we trust to watch over our safety and he chooses to abuse and stalk the private sector in his spare time.  There are hearings going on right now about the possibilities of this exact personal abuse transpiring by members of the NSA to the public.  I can tell you it does occur.  I cannot believe this is legal or just.  It certainly is terrifying as I use my pc for personal finances, etc.  Now I no longer feel secure in my own home.  How can I defend my privacy and my rights?

First of all get red of him. You have no use for someone that is going to go against your privacy. Did you ever think that he is using you in someway. I would tell that sone of a cow where he can go and I would go to the police and I would talk to his boss. Things like this should not happen to people like you. YOu are a norman person and you deserve better than this. I thought that I had problems but girl y ou have bigger ones than I do. And by the way this is ilegal for him to do. You should think about it very hard. Also it sounds like this guy has not respect for you or your child. He is just going to make your life worse. Let someone do that to me and I find out that it is my boyfriend. They would not hear the end of it. Most of all he is putting you all at danger. Please do not use your computer for anything improtant. If you do he will know what it is then. Until you get this all worked out I would say you need to stay clear of all computers. Cause if he is hacking into yours then it is hard to tell whos elses he is hacking into!!!!!Please get away from him, you may not know this but you could be putting yourself indanger.


I hav a freewebs website but i dont know what the link is so people can email me when they click on the link

John's information above is backwards. You can create a hyperlink to your e-mail address very easily. Using web forms for e-mail is not easy at all.\n\nIf you know HTML, then you know that, to create a hyperlink, you use the  (anchor) tag as follows:\n\n Click here! \n(You don't need to use spaces between the anchor tags and the hyperlink text. Here, I do so that Yahoo! will render the text correctly.)\n\nObviously, the website.com address is replaced with the address of the site that you want to link to, and "Click me!" can be any text that you want your user to click on.\n\nLinking to your e-mail address is no different, except that the website address is your e-mail address, preceeded by the word "mailto" followed by a colon (:), as follows:\n\n E-mail me! \n\nAgain, email@net.com and "E-mail me!" are replaced with your e-mail address and hyperlink text, respectively.\n\nBe careful! E-mail links cannot work with web-based e-mail services, which many of your users will undoubetly be using. For this reason, it is best to both spell out your e-mail address AND provide a hyperlink. A good example is as follows:\n\nMy e-mail address is:  email@net.com \n\nIn this example, users can click the hyperlink to e-mail you while web-based e-mail users will still be able to see your address.\n\nIf you DON'T know HTML and use a web page editing program instead, then use the word "mailto:" followed by your e-mail address (no spaces) when your program asks for a website address.\n\nIt is POSSIBLE use a form to have people e-mail you, certainly not simple. You can send form results to your e-mail without using a CGI (common gateway interface) script, but the e-mails are encoded and often difficult to read. You also won't be able to use the "reply to" button to send a response. A good CGI script that can send you properly formatted e-mails (i.e. properly formatting the "From", "Subject", and "Reply-to" fields) is likely going to cost you some money, and you probably won't be able to use it anyway, as many CGI scripts require special server settings, Even if it doesn't, most free website hosts won't allow you to upload or use CGI scripts anyway. So a hyperlink is both easier and better.


before you crucify me...hear me out. From the time man began to walk upright he has believed in a god...the Aztecs believed in Rey, God of the Sun, the Greeks believed in numerous Gods, the Egyptians worshipped their god etc...and these religions endured for many thousands of years..and now they are all gone...what makes us believe the religions of today won't meet the same fate in the next several thousand years? Just a question, what say you?~


If you had to pick among the Yankees, Angels, A's, or Dodger's who would you pick.

I'd have to say out of the four teams you put up there, probably the Angels have the best shot. But that would be mostly a guess as I'm not an Angels fan (or an AL fan for that matter). But they seem to have the most returning talent and have made a few solid moves in the offseason.\n\nOn paper overall, however, I'd have to say the New York Mets look pretty good this year. They have a pretty solid 1-7 and have strong starting pitching and pretty decent defense up the middle. With the addition of Carlos Delgado at first and Xavier Nady in right, they pose some problems for opposing pitchers. Their relievers are strong and deep and their bench is solid. They have speed at the top of the lineup and a good mix of young players and vets both at the every day and pitching (although their starters are a little older -- which isn't the worst thing).\n\nThe Yankees, on the flip side, seem a bit older than most years for them, and I don't think are as deep as in previous years, so I'd have to put them near the bottom of your list. \n\nThe Dodgers don't seem to have made as many moves as they could have, but they've started the rebuilding process.\n\nThe A's, with Beane Ball, seem to be a little young, although it looks like they're beginning to mix in a little more established talent as none of Beane's formulas have equated to a championship yet.\n\nHope this helps!


My boyfriend just tested positive for HIV, but the doctors are astonished because he is extremely healthy, does not get sick and is very fit.  Is it possible for the tests to be wrong?  ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE.

First of all, I am sorry about what is going on with your boyfriend. I am a Registered Nurse and the mental anguish of this diagnosis can be very difficult.\n\nMost Definelty! Tests can be wrong...\n\nHowever, there are two tests for HIV, (Western Blot and Elisa Test)--if both of those tests came out positive then he is probably positive. The Western Blot test is the most "accurate" test.--So there can be instances where a person is positive for the Elisa Test and Negative for the Western Blot test and vice versa.--The fact still remains that the Western Blot is the most definitive test.\n\nAnd to answer your other question..."Can he be healthy and still be HIV positive"--- Most Definetly, this is 2006, now a days, HIV is not a "death sentence". As you know, it can take up to ten years to become positive or let alone feel the symptoms of being HIV positive. You must remember that HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. AIDS and its effects such as (PCP pneumonia, Kaposi Sarcoma, Low T Cell Counts) are what kill people, not HIV. The HIV Virus can lie "dormant" (meaning asymptomatic, still contagious to others however) for lack of better terms until the person is diagnosed with AIDS. Even if it is confirmed that he is HIV positive, being physically fit will be on his side. His life span may be prolonged by that alone.\n\nAnyway, I hope this helps....I really hope all goes well with your beau. Do you plan on getting tested as well?


they based an amount owed on incorrect employ. info.  they said my ex- didn't owe 1/2 due to ssi (he wasn't on it at that time) they stayed w/sis who collected afdc for them. i was unemployed.  they said i was employed.  they took $3400. from me.

Honestly, you could prob. get the $$ back; but it would cost you, and might not be worth it. Anyway, you could get a lawyer in CA, and have him look into it.\n\nMy step-son had the same headache. It was cheaper for him to let it go and move on.

I don't feel like buying partition software.

You can delete the partition, but you cannot reclaim it without repartitioning it, under which case it will appear under a different drive letter than your other partition.\n\nTo rejoin the partition to your Windows partition, you need to either repartition the entire disk -- which will destroy all data -- or use a partitioning program.

Albertsons question here... Sorry no zombies...

I have a couple of bad debts on my report that have been sold to several other collection agencies who are sending me correspondence, but these debts are from 1994.

Each state has a "statute of limitations" for debts like credit cards, etc....\n\nThe SOL begins on the date of default.  I want to point this out because the collection agents will lie about it, and tell you otherwise.  \n\nSo, your first step is check the link below, and see how long your SOL is.  I'm fairly certain you are well past it.\n\nNow, all that means is that after the SOL runs out, they can not sue you.  You no longer have a "legal obligation" to pay the debt.  However, they can still attempt to collect if they want, but if you still don't want to pay them they can't do anything about it but pester you.\n\nYou can stop them from calling you by sending them a cease and desist order.  In the letter, remind them that the SOL has run out, and they are just wasting a lot of time and money by sending you letters.  \n\nAs for your credit report, bad debts can only be reported for 7 years.  If they are still being reported, you need to contact the credit reporting agency and demand that they be removed.  Again, don't believe the nonsense that the debt can be restarted for some reason or another.  I'm still waiting for the collectors in this forum to point out the law that allows that.  \n\nRead the links below, they will help you fight these guys.


I've been doing 50 crunches every night except on Saturday's and Sunday's for 3months now, and I haven't seen any results yet!  I only do 50 because I won't keep up w/ it every night if I set a higher count.  Will a exercise ball help?  I just do the crunches on the floor.  I need a affective plan fast.  I'm trying to look cute in my bikini!!!

If you just do crunches but no other exercises, it can actually serve to push out your belly more.  Also, diet can be a big factor.\n\nPresuming you are eating a good, balance, low calorie diet, you may want to try adding some other exercises to the mix including those that will exercise your lats (try lying on the floor, bending your knees to bring your feet up to your butt, then lift you head and shoulder while reaching with your left hand to your left ankle, clenching your side muscles.  Repeat 10 times then do the same on your right side)\n\nAlso, working your lower back can also help tighten your whole core area, pulling your stomach in.


If you guys can explain more about it too it'll be great.

I have DSL and my computer runs off USB into the DSL modem...my ps2 goes through ethernet into the DSL modem.

Well either way you are sharing the same line so what do you mean? Get a 2nd line. I don't think you'll get to much problem sharing the line with that setup though. Depending on what you are doing.


While my lungs are responding to my recue inhaler, for the past week I have been having a minimum of 3 "episodes" a day.  I only have this problem once a year, and don't know if I should go to the doctor to get medication to calm my lungs down.

Do you eat proper food as it could be low blood sugar


In a car, say like a jeep? How long would they be able to last under the snow. A young woman of about 18 years and a young man about 23, both very healthy. The man has an injury to cause him to lose blood though. However they do have plenty of food and water.

If you get caught in an avalanche, try to 'surf' the sluice of snow by lying on your back and using your ruc-sac as a sledge. If you're trapped under snow, extend your arms in front of you to create some kind of breathing space. Amazingly, snow contains enough oxygen to keep you alive for a relatively long time - or for as long as hypothermia takes to set in, which could be a matter of a twenty minutes. First your brain will stop working, then your heart. If you have to dig yourself out, you can tell which way is up simply by letting saliva fall from your mouth and heading in the opposite direction. Be careful of telltale impending avalanche signs - very heavy fresh snow on already packed snow, sudden strong winds, rapid fluctuations in temperature during a particular day. The first three months of the year are particularly hazardous for avalanches.


Do you smoke marijuana? If so how much? and how often?

yes fr the past32 years.sometimes heavy like when in college,then kinda regular fr a few years in professional college, then sort of taking it easy kind of smoking. in the past 20 years almost a joint or two everyday when i have it. if i dont- no climbing up the wall either. now its like small tipper joints , maybe twice in the day. some of all this smoking was hash too. never did really like that...\ni am a successful designer-industrialist with two real cool healthy children and am on my third and last! marriage. i can even make complex technical drawings when nicely stoned. i dont smoke too much nor too often. cant stand those so called freaks who blow joint after joint. cos after a certain point you cant get any higher, only sicker!!like they say in india-ganja is either for beggars or kings. definitely not for everyone. i know quite some guys who really flipped out on dope permanently. then again i know many socially well placed , married with children, sucessful , busy designers,doctors,architects,artists,musicians,craftsmen,lawyers, IT guys, etc etc just like me. none of them do hard stuff.


I have to be organized! Well having 4 kids it is a must! I dont like a mess! I am trying to let go some- but ya know I just dont know how to! bye

I like everything in its place.  The kitchen cupboards are organized and tupperware is used for everything from flour to sugar as I bake daily.  Even cleaning is done everyday as I am one of those people who would hate to have someone come to my door and think I was messy.  My husband thinks its wonderful to have a clean home but I do too much...  I don't agree for if I didn't do it as I do, it wouldn't look or smell this good lol

I feel I have every right to monitor her MY SPACE. I've viewed her site before using her address,(which, we were allowed 2 see, then.) and was amazed at all her sexual content. Now, I find seductive pics in our family photo collections, Plus, she's left her sign-in address unavailable. My space is a contravercial subject, now. Moms, dads, what would YOU do, & how do I do it?? Please hurry..

Are you kidding? Your title is Mother, your entitlement, is to raise her with respect for herself, honesty, you don't ask her for it, you tell her you want it & it will be monitored, or you will take it away from her!!! That's part of whats wrong with some of the teens now adays, thier parents ask them, they don't tell them, your the parent, she's not an adult yet & she's living under your roof. She'll be mad as hell, but she'll get over it.

no medical insurance or income. toledo,ohio

If you don't have income you may qualify for medical assistance and then can use that to seek counseling.  Seeking counseling is a wonderful thing to do, so I would encourage you to go to your closest Social Security Office and find out if you qualify for medical assistance (medicaid) temporarily till you get back on your own two feet. I know many people here may not like me suggesting you seek government help, but if it's with a goal in mind to help yourself for the long term, (rather than those who want to stay stuck for life with government handouts and never try to help themselves) it may be a worthwhile step for you.\n\nBest of luck.


Do you guys think it will be the Spurs again or are they too old? What about the Pistons, Mavs, Suns, Heat? The Suns are going to be even better with Amare back. It's close.

I think Spurs have the biggest chance. I think you are right about Amare but they have to get that chemistry back and i dont know if they can do it with less than half a season. I think it will Pistons and Spurs and it is close and Spurs take it in 7. \n\n     Pistons556 why do you say that Detroit sucks you Answers name is Pistons 556.

Professional, Cowboys or just trying to earn money to pay the bills.

Realtors suck big time.   I have just had two very bad experiences.  They will lie to your face to get you to sign stuff.  For example, I was offering 106,000 for a home.  The realtor then added 6 percent to that and some other stuff, all said and done, I paid 115,900.  When I asked him why the numbers were higher than what I wanted to pay, he said "you aren't paying that, the buyer is going to pay the difference".  You are supposed to pay these people to help you and they don't.  They are just as bad as the mortgage companies.

martha stewarts trial was held in the new york federal court house.is it a saperior court house or was it a district court house

It was Federal District court.  You're confusing the NY state court system with the US Federal Court system. There's no such thing as superior court in the Federal system.  For the Federal level it goes \nDistrict Court->Court of Appeals->US Supreme Court.


I'm very concered with all of the horrible sites, and such that are allowing child porn. I've just been married and my wife and myself would like to start a family. But with all that we are seeing, we feel that we should try to do what we can to help. The only other concern that I have is, if I'm tracking sites or other users computers, could I get into trouble myself, I mean it would be really sad if I got into trouble and all I was trying to do is help.

Take a look at this site and they will guide you.


I am getting a degree in education but have decided against student teaching because I do not want to be a teacher any longer.  I know it sounds foolish, but the more I learn of the restrictions put on teachers (due to the no child left behind act) I have decided this career is not for me.  I only have two semesters left so I am going to graduate, but I will have a degree without a teaching certificate.  So my question is simply this... what other jobs can you obtain with a job in education, without being an educator?  Has anyone else experienced this?\nthanks!

....voltage across the second lamp? (Answer in units of V)

We'd need to either see the circuit or have it described to us in order to answer.  If there are just two lamps and a voltage source and nothing else then the voltage across the second lamp would be 6V-2V= 4V\n\nSo 4V


If there is a country consisting of 5 person earning 5 k p month then what is the GDP. How does it indicate the country's economy? Is it subjective?

GDP may be calculated in three ways: (1) by adding up the value of all goods and services produced, (2) by adding up the expenditure on goods and services at the time of sale, or (3) by adding up producers’ incomes from the sale of goods or services. However, it is difficult to measure GDP precisely, partly because every country has an unofficial economy, often called a black economy, that consists of transactions not reported to government.


You are the architect of your own doom. you draw to you in this life what you wish to have. you wish to have it with you and wallow in your self absorbed sphere of consciousness.


Well...just want to know what to expect during such interview..and if can provide with tips...greatly appreciated.

Try to be calm and confident.\nShow teamwork spirit, as Schlumberger always looking for team player.\nExpect to be asked with tricky question. Don't panic, there just want to test you on how to handle pressure.\nAnd last, make sure you have lots of question to ask them back !\nGood Luck.


This mole is on my face and is big enough to make me really self conscious.

i know they are expensive but go to a dermatoligist.  right now there are a lot of problems with infections after all kinds of procedures.  Going to a clinic you run a higher risk of infection.  se a real doctor also so they can make sure nothing else is going on with the mole-ie skin cancer


which is best? for small things on e bay?

It is always better to research the items you are interested in buying, by price comparison through the Internet Stores, and newspaper ads, and retail outlet stores. It is very important to please read and understand eBay's policies, and their rules and regulations. \n\nFor digital cameras - the one that offers you the most features you can have, and the one you feel good and right to bid on. The ones that has 3 megapixel or more, has more optical zoom capability than digital, has a bigger view finder screen, and moderately sized glass lenses. And in my opinion the ones that are made by Olympus, Sony, and Canon. To see if your budget can afford it, wait until the last day before bidding ends, just to see how much its going for, the period when the bidding starts becomes crucial because the amount of the bid considered should be the incremental amount stated by the seller added to the last highest bidder, and nothing below that is honored. if you can top the last highest bidder, and if the price is right for you, then go place your bid.\n~meow

I rented an illegal apartment, the landlord took weeks\nto fix anything. Recently-a pipe burst and flooded all\nmy property. My renters insurance barely covered it. The\napartment was illegal and unihabitalbe. What can i do\nto recover my losses? Could I sue? on what grounds\nthere was also black mold everywhere

When you say your renter's insurance 'barely' covered your losses, does that mean it did cover your losses, but only barely, or do you mean it did not cover the full extent of your losses?  And if not, why not?  Are you disputing the amount paid by the insurance, or do you want money from the landlord?   \n\nYou can try to sue - if you can find a lawyer to take the case. they will tell you what grounds are applicable.  If they think there is a case, they will work for a (large) percentage of the fees if they win.


hi. i am 21 yrs old and i have a 10 months old daughter. me and my boyfriend will have been with each other for 2 years in april and i am having a major crisis. i dont think i am in love with him anymore. we had only been going out for 3 months when i got pregnant and i just thought he was so different. he is just such a know it all and very argumentative and i cant do anything right. he treats me like he's my father more than a boyfriend. the thing is if we didnt have our daughter i think i would have left him already. i get no joy from our relationship anymore. what i really want to know is if i should put my happiness before my daughters and leave him or if i should put my daughters happiness first and stay. he is an amazing father and he works so hard and he cant help being the way he is but its just not right for me anymore... what should i do?

I dont think that just because you leave him that it will sacrifice your daughters happiness. You dont have to be together for him to be in her life. You're doing more harm than good for all three of you by staying in an unhappy relationship. If you truly care about him, let go and give him and yourself a chance to find someone to make you both truly happy.


My vacations start from tommorow.(22/3/06) I am interested in backyard science. if u have any such small experiments, send me. the best one will be awarded with 10 points.

Blow my mind with some quantum concepts I haven't heard yet, if you'll be so kind?

It's been said that any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.  Let's try a few of the older but lesser known ones:\n\nAbout 15/20 years ago material science came up with two new materials which are rather interesting.  The first is Aerogel, a solid which is lighter than air - it will float at room temperature.  The second is called Seagel which is about as heavy as plastic but is as strong as steel, it can be either transparent or opaque and your choice of electrially conductive or not.\n\nHow's that for a start?


okay well i told a story on what happend to me then they said somthing calle drape and when i asked what that was they said its sex but what the heck it sex?

My first ? is how old are you, and my second is if you are a minor don't you think you should talk to your parents?\n\nPlease People before you answer this question THIS IS A CHILD, not a NUN, do you understand that you can be booted for answering a childs question like you have...it's called contributing to the deliquency of a minor... she needs to talk to her parents.


I like dancing to shakira and what should i eat.

eat little portions 4 to  6 times daily.\navoid processed foods,\ndring plenty of water . \navoid eating fatty foods after the evening.\ndont eat 3-4 hours before bed. \nbut make sure your body recieves enough vitamin or else it would go in the starved mood and u'll end up even staying at that weight or even gaining some.


So me and this guy have been talking for almost 1 1/2 weeks now and i am totally confused. \nWe had a really great time at this party the other night! All his friends and some of mine were there and we were having a great time. Well like since then he has been acting weird and i am wondering if i should give up in all hope of a relationship because when we were talking last night he said 3 times we are just friends. But the only thing that really kept me happy was he said only friends right now in one of the msgs.  \n\nReply or email me at dcheers16@yahoo.com

Take the hints he has been giving you.  He only wants to be friends.  There is no reading between the lines.  He is holding you in reserve until something better comes along and wasting your time by saying only friends now.  You will only hurt yourself waiting for a relationship with him that will never come.


It comes on after LOST on Wednesdays, and I'm totally addicted! Does anyone else like the show, and do you think it deserves to stay for another season???

ditto w/both of your answers honesly i prefer Lost. but invasion is so out there i think it might be able to hold out for at least one more season...hopefully. Though the writers kinda need to slow it down a bit leave more clifhangers instead of telling the viewers every thing they need to know. \nany way other than that it's a pretty good show. ALIENS..."Hurray!"


I keep getting these pop up messags to fix my registration and to download fixmyreg. What do I do?

I would guess that these popups are resulting from some spyware installed on your computer. You should run Adaware to detect and remove any spyware on your system.\n\nDownload Adaware from http://www.lavasoft.com/software/adaware/\nand run it.


Yeah, homework sucks, I know.  But it's better just to get it over with.\n\nStart by looking it up on Wikipedia.  That'll give you the basic facts, as a place to start.  If there are any further links, try those.  Start taking down notes.\n\nThere's also a famous movie called "Patton" which is all about him.  Ask your parents if you can rent it and watch it.\n\nThen, before you start to write your paper, stop and think about how you feel about him.  Do you like him or hate him?  Why?  Is he an interesting man?  What would you ask him if you met him?  He believed in reincarnation.  What do you think of that?  If reincarnation is real, what do you think he came back as?  Or did he go to Heaven?  Why or why not?\n\n...Newspaper reporters and other writers call this an "angle."  It's very helpful and even fun to write about something when you have an angle.  It's a lot easier to write about what you think than about what others think.\n\nStarting is the next hard part.  Try asking some question, and then write an answer, then explain your answer, then think of other answers and why they might be right.\n\nHere's some sentences to help you get started:\n\n"Patton was a bad man because..."\n\n"Patton was a good man because..."\n\n"I think Patton was reincarnated as a kangaroo because..."\n\n\nEnding is the next hardest part.  There's a good rule to use when writing an essay:  "Tell them what you know, tell them how you know it, then tell them what you know again."\n\n"So that's why I think General Patton came back as a kangaroo."\n\nGood luck!


I have a house I recently sold. In the purchase and sale we had it said that I would paint the house for them (not stated that a pro had to do it). I hired a friend who painted the body of the house and got arrested the next morning and went to jail. \nThe body has quite a few touchups needed that he said he would have fixed up the next day along w/the trim that wasn't painted.\nThe new owner now wants me to repaint the entire house professionally since there are a few messups that could be touched up. I plan on doing the finish work myself w/my family. They really want a new paint job. I've already payed for the paint for the first paint job and they say its poor quality which is not what the paint guy selling it to me said. I also think they dont like the color that THEY picked out.\nThe new owners are threatining me w/a lawsuit. All I want is to be able to complete the job and be done.\nDo they have the legal ability to screw up my credit w/a lawsuit?\nty

You only have to provide a paint job nothing more unless the contract stated.  Finish the touch ups and then let them try and argue for more.  If they try to change the color after picking one to get a "whole" paint job instead of a touch up then the court should only require you to provide what would be needed for the touch up.  No court should require a prof. paint job unless the contract states that.  Schedule a time for you and family to paint it, and if they refuse to allow you in then you've shown them at fault for the paint job not being done.

I want to have my own site and stripp for money. I know I have to get a domain and a host, but what else?

Actually, you don't have to get your own domain, there are several sites that will do all the web hosting for you.  You sign up with them, they take care of the hosting, the billing, and the promotion, then they pay you up to 60% of the take.\n\nOtherwise, you would have to get a web host, create a website, get an online billing company, and pay for the site bandwidth.  You would also have to promote the site yourself, as well as do all the maintance on the web page.  For someone just starting out in the business, you may find it a little overwhelming.


not for like a yard sell but for an item or items

Yes you do, you can go on the Internet and type in business permit or permit and go from there.  Every city law is different but you do need a permit.

watch out i am fat, and i have big teeth

some of them are nasty liars.\none of them took my bacon.\nthey have big teeth.\nsome of them smell like pomegranates (whats up with that anyways)\nfat people come in all shapes and sizes, there are the underfat or skinny people, medium fat like Oprah or bbbw(big beautiful black woman) then there are the more fat people, this list includes, Chris Farley, Elvis and included Oprah before she was medium fat.\nsome fat people are nice, some are mean, most smell like pomegranites.


Like when I open yahoo...In the search box if I type in the letter "s" it lists ALL of the things that I have looked for that start with "s"....If I type the letter "h" after the s....it lists all things that start with "sh" and so on.  How can I get rid of this on my computer?

The best way to do this is to clear your online forms (if you are using Windows, of course). This can easily be done by selecting "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu. Click on the "Content" tab, and then press the "AutoComplete..." button. Then, click the "Clear Forms" button and select "OK." \n\nThis will clear all the entries from your Yahoo Search Box and other search engines, but will also clear any other information that you entered into other forms, eg. name, surname, address, e-mail address, etc.\n\nHope I could help you...


Specializing in keystroke dynamics, Dwell time and flight time.  THanks in advance.

You should really go into better detail rather than trying to dazzle with jargon.  Are you trying to *record* typing and its charactertics or get it after the fact?  If you just want to record the keys with timing information, many keystroke loggers can do that or you could make your own.\n\nIt's a shame that your follow-up comments were so condescending.  I could help you, but I don't tolerate attitudes.  Look to some IT-security organizations.


for a lot of people, God and the 'Big Bang' idear go hand in hand. God said 'let there be light' and a very small, very dense singularity (matter) exploded releasing energy in the form of light (the creation of our universe). Given, the then to now, matter to energy, energy to matter, can be explained, was God on the outside of the singularity looking at it, or contained within it?

Stephen Hawking gives many theories abt the unverse in "a brief history of time". \n\nIf we accept the no boundaries preposition, ie the universe has no boundaries, neither in space nor in time, then there is no space for god anywhere.\n\nIf we accept the theory of multiple universes, ie there are a very large number of universes, and in each of them separate laws of physics apply, then God has gotta be out of the whole system, because how can he be in just one universe, and ignore the rest(unless each universe has its own god, but the how will they coordinate??)


i was wondering what is the basics of space travel

One problem, insurmountable so far, is how to protect astronauts from cosmic radiation on long journeys. People on earth are protected from cosmic rays by the atmosphere, but in space, prohibitively heavy protection would be needed even on so short a journey as to Mars. The problem remains unsolved.


The card is in mint condition. It is a Donruss 89 card.

Unfortunately, due to the many companies that mass produced and mass marketed cards in the 80's and 90's, plus the fact that many collectors saved them and put the cards directly into plastic sleaves, there are not too many rare cards from that era. So I would have to say that you will probably not get much more than a buck or two for it.

I heard that gettting a MBA only shows a person how to run another person's business not your own business. For example like managers working at lowe's,best buy,an walmart. They are all employes but running someone's bussiness. Will getting a MBA serve the same purpose for a person who wants a franchise or starting your own business? Is there another business major that's more specific to fit these fields?

That is not true at all. It depends on the college/university you get your degree from. I invite you to visit the University of Arkansas Walton School of Business. Yes, that is as in Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart. It is a VERY entrepreneurial education.

I have found that whenever I watch a movie, when the movie shows a scary part, a church or something really important, you can hear that music, its just like a 100 people chorus all singing together "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" hopefully someone can help me, Im working in an interesting project and I need that music to go on.

That style of music is typically referred to as "Gregorian Chant".  It's very low (bass or baritone) and gutteral.  Creepy stuff.  The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo De Silos are considered at the top of this genre.  You can find them on Amazon.


I know that it's just another hole to fu*k, but gay men do that. I would feel weird, if I where a guy. ( Oh, and no this is not a stupid question! I don't need your BS!) Are guys not satisfied w/ 2 holes? I don't get the whole as* thing. Don't they know that it hurts us? I wouldn't want my thing covered w/ sh*t, even if I use a condom. ha ha ha !

Ideally the orafice would be pretty clean. The reason guys like it is simply because it's a tighter hole, and it's kinda different.


I have military family looking to rent for 6 months in the Scott AFB area. They need a 2 bedroom, either furnished or not, they have 2 dogs, would like to have a place with a fenced in yard. They will be arriving in late June.

Most real estate agents and rental property owners near military bases will have a "military clause" in their rental agreement.  Meaning you can sign a lease for longer than your need (in this case a year's lease could be signed), but then show a copy of the sponsor's PCS orders and the lease can be broken without penalty.  With this in mind, you do not have to be limited in looking for property management companies that deal specifically with military families.


I had no idea about MS in India. Pls reply. Especially jyotsnasinha do reply...

To my knowledge only the BiTS, Pilani offers an MS course. All other universities offer a Master degree depending upon the main stream of your Bachelors.

Why is this number repeated so many times? Is there some hidden meaning to this?

The number 40 seems to correlate with a trial or testing by the Lord. During Noah's era the flood lasted for 40 days. The Israelites were tested for 40 years after not accepting God's promise to deliver them to the "Promised land." Jesus was tested for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness where he defeated all temptation.

We've been marriage for half year after our 11 yrs relationship. But he's changed after i married to him, he hasn't hug or kiss me everyday, hardly ever hold me in his arms when we sleep, has sex just 1-2 times per month and his sex is not like "make love" but just "sex". He always come home late and not have dinner with me, but always go out with his friends every weekend night and come home at 3-4am, and leave me home alone. I really disappionted with him, but last 2 week after i made decision to devorce him, he asked me for one more chance so he comes home for tea with me, go out with me for movies and shopping, but still has no hug, kiss and sex with me.

Well sounds like me.. I've put up with it for almost 10 years, and then one day it just hit me that I didnt need to deal with that anymore.. I like to be paid attention to, and show should you.. if you dont like it then leave.. he is just trying to suck up to you, dont go for it.. if he isnt kissing you, holding you, paying special attention to you.. then who is????

raffles, have a gun raffle if you live in the south, buy a good hunting or sporter rifle and raffle it off at 1 or 2 dollars a ticket. we raised over $3000 by raffling off a pump 30-06 with a scope. but doesnt have to be a gun, raffle off anything that is worth a couple hundred dollars and that you know alot of people want. full vehicle detail gift certificate, dvd player, anything that will attract attention will work great.


In his song Gold Digger he rhymed that "when he get on he leave your ass for a white girl" as if that is a bad thing. Was he intending that whites should only date whites and blacks should only remain with blacks? Was he intending that it is a lowly thing for a black man to be involved with a white girl? What did he mean by that?

perhaps so, perhaps not. i dunno. what i do know is that i hate the guy. don't take what he said in the song literally. he said it because black women are quick to say that as soon as a black man gets rich he gets with a white girl. although this is not necessarily true, some black women do say this and say it often. this line is a play on that concept. if any black girls answer, please do not front like you haven't had a conversation with one of your girls pertaining to this, i know i've been in and heard many. and no, i do not have a white girlfriend.

If so, does your city require a license to setup a lemonade or a hot dog stand there?  :)

There is an area near me called "Devil's Punchbowl" It's literally a big hole missing from a mountain that is HUGE. THere is a lookout point and you cannot see the bottom. There is a giant cross erected year round and lit up at night, it can be seen from miles around.

If one doesn't believe in a god but believes that he is a spirit and continues "living" even after death as a ghost, or perhaps re-incarnates, is he considered to be an atheist?\nCan an atheist have a belief in a godless afterlife and still be considered an atheist?

Yes. Atheism only consists of a belief (or disbelief) in a deity. If someone actively does not believe in the existence of any deity, he/she is an Atheist regardless of what other supernatural based beliefs he/she places faith in.

He called me one day to say that since he's been around other smokers, he's given in again to smoking....I've never smoked, so I don't know how difficult it is to stop. When I try to approach him about how much it bothers me, he gets a little irritated, and says that I "don't understand how hard it is to quit" and that he's trying to quit....how can I help him or make suggestions to him to quit smoking for good? being around smoke makes me cough a lot anyway....I don't want to date a man who smokes, but he's such a sweetie and I think I've fallen for him. Should I just give him time to prove that he's trying to quit, and cut him slack? HELP!

The only way a smoker can quit smoking, is if he is good and ready to quit.  Pestering him about will only make it worse.  If he is actively trying to quit, continue to tell him how proud you are of him, but other than that there is really nothing you can do to help.\nIf you don't want to date a smoker than you should seriously consider breaking up with him, though.  What if he never quits?  Only stay with him if you are sure that you wouldn't mind living the rest of your life with a smoker.  If you wouldn't mind your children being raised with cigarettes in the environment.  I'm not saying that staying with a smoker if an awful thing, but it all has to be taken into consideration.

what are you think about that:\n1000003=2^6.5^6+3 if 2^6.5^6 and 3 are not exactly divided to n( n is a naturel number) so 1000003 is not exactly divided to n.Because:\n if 2^6.5^6 is not divided to n => 2^6.5^6=n.d+r ( r is remainder and d is division)\n if 3 is not divided to n => 3=n.d'+r' \n=> 2^6.5^6=n.d+r\n=> 3=n.d'+r'\n  + ----------\n   1000003=n.(d+d')+(r+r')\nSo 1000003 is not exactly divided to n \n at the same time 2^6.5^6 and 3 are not exactly divided to ANY naturel number so 1000003 is not exactly divided to ANY naturel number!so 1000003 is a prime number

Yes, 1000003 happens to be prime but unless I'm missing something your reasoning is not convincing. How do we know that r + r' is not divisible by n ?

I know objective of the game is to score touchdown but what's going on until then?\nWhat is  first down? Why does the direction of the ball change after some action?\nI'm tires of being clueless.Oh, please don't go into lengthy detail! Just basic stuff will do.

It's good to see a lady interested in football.  Most guys  love it when a woman enjoys and can talk football.\n\nThe team with the ball (Offense) gets 4 tries to move the ball at least 10 yards.  If they do, they get all their downs back again and will continue to try to move the ball to the endzone and score.  If they don't, then the other team gets the ball and it's their turn to try to advance the ball.\nIf the team hasn't moved the ball 10 yards by their 4th down, they will usually (almost always anyway) drop-kick (Punt) the ball to the other team.  They do this because most punts will go 40 to 50 yards and so that makes it that much farther the opposing team has to go to score.\n\n\nSome reasons why the the direction changes: (Just to simplify, let's call the team you like "The Browns" and the team you don't like "The Steelers".)\n\n1) Touchdown or Field Goal.\nExample: The Browns just scored a Touchdown.  \nAfter a score the Browns will kick off to the Steelers.  The Steelers run back the kick as far as they can.  It's now the Steelers turn on Offense and it's first down.\n\n2) Interception.  \nExample: Steelers on Offense and Browns on Defense.  \nThe Steelers attempt a pass and the Browns catch it instead, it is now the Browns ball and they switch to offense.  Brown's ball and 1st down.\n\n3) Fumble. \nExample:  Steelers on Offense and Browns on Defense.\nIf the Steelers player drops the ball while running with it and the Browns are able to get it, it is now the Browns ball and they switch to offense.  Browns ball and 1st down.\n\nWell these are some basics.  Hope it was helpful.


i mean its well known by now that if you're a moe you should be a mohammed, i mean some ppl say they change their name so americans can say it correctly.. but i don;t think any american will change his/her name if they ever went to an arab country even if they said it wrong, other resaons don't make much sence to me i mean ok i get the terrorist mohammed, but its turning to the moe the terrorist right?

hmmm... I live in the USA and I have never really heard that in particular.  But I may be able to supply some additional input.\n\nIt is fairly common for us to use less formal versions of our names. Very often you will see, William being call Bill, or Robert being called Bob.  Even some females do this. Elizabeth is often called Betty, or Catherine, Cathy. Some even actually even use two of them at once, like Billy Bob.\n\nIt is possible, that calling Mohammed Moe, is nothing more than a sign of acceptance.\n\n\n\nAdded Note;\n\nI personally prefer the more formal versions.  My name is Chyrelanne.  I do not care for it when people call me Chyrel.  I usually correct them, by pointing out that Chyrelanne is just one word.\n\n\n\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApgRAIGflrDpqJFd6oXrOlbsy6IX?qid=1006022811250

Can someone explain the nudity laws in Canada.\n\n1. If I am nude in my house (nothing sexual, just hangin') with the curtains closed and someone sees me.  \n  Is this illegal and if so what is the penalty/fine?\n\n2. If I am in my backyard (doing gardening for example) and wearing some article of clothing (hat, shoes etc but no pants).\n  Is this considered "nude"? \n  Is this illegal and if so, what is the penalty/fine?\n\nThanks

I guess you'll have to find a nudist Canadian lawyer to answer the question. I found this paper:\nhttp://www.ulcc.ca/en/criminal/index.cfm?sec=3&sub=3d

Without mechanistic details, how would one go about turning 2-propanone into 3-methylcyclohex-2-enone, without using a reagent with more than 3C's?  Possibly using Grignard reagents.

This might not be the simplest way possible, but here goes:\n\n(Starting with propanone)\n1. H3O+/I2 (to form 1-iodopropanone)\n2. (Ph)3P (triphenylphosphine forms the ylide)\n3. butanone* (Wittig reaction, now you should have hepta-3-ene-2,6-one)\n4. H2/Pd/C (hydrogenate the C=C; hopefully this'll leave the C=O's alone)\n5. H3O+ (intramolecular aldol condensation to close the ring, with dehydration to form the C=C double bond)\n\n*can be made from propylaldehyde and CH3MgBr\n\nNote: No guarantees this'll work as desired. :)


The bands could be colored since there is constructive interference at that point for that particular color's wavelength.\n\nA good example of this would be in a soap bubble.  When the thickness of the bubble film is just right, certain colors will appear on the bubble, this is because there is constructive interference for that particular wavelength.

Viet Nam service requested from 1966-1969, was agent orange a factor?


Ok, first off let me start by saying "Yes I know that god cares." That should cut down alot of answers. No one at school respects me, and in my family I am considered the joke. Always the one in the wrong place at the wrong time. Can someone help me without making fun of me? Please?

It's a horrible feeling to think nobody cares but I garuntee you there is lots of people who do care and you don't realise it.  As for school, don't worry about them it might seem like a long way away now but believe me before you know it you will be out of school in the real world with real people who have more important things to do than bully somebody, and you will meet people who accept and like you for who you are.  Chin up!!!!


I have a theory. The theory states that the Democrats have initiated a campaign of inciting anger against the current administration as a means of compelling their current members to become angered themselves. This in turn is intended to compel others to take up the cause against the Republicans, and return the Democrats to power.\n\nPlease provide arguments in support of or contrary to this theory. Thanks!\n\nRemember: its just a theory, dont blow an artery trying to insult me for asking the question.

To me it seems that right is more angry as whole. There may be some moderates that have common sense and are thinking about is good for the nation, but overall I feel that the right is more angry than the left. \n \n There should be anger at this administration and it spin machine. This machine has gotten us into a unnecessary war in Iraq that has took away resources to finish a necessary war in Afghanistan. \n \n To be fair, the left is pretty wishy washy and doesn't stand for much. It seems like they are just against everything the republicans are for. This why the country will never move forward until there is a second party,since the Dem's and the republicans are the same party.  \n\n So in response to your question, I believe that the left and the right are the same party. So all of the battle between them are just smoke and mirrors design to keep focus away from the fact that the country is really run by big business. Isn't capitalism grand?

I am scoring around the 156-158 range and want to get my score well above a 160. I am taking the test June 12th. Please help!

Kaplan books are good, but I really suggest you take a classroom course.  I took kaplan's course and I improved 9 points.  Since you want to improve quite a bit, it would really help you to have in person training and assistance.  It's worth the money, because it will get you into a better law school and earn you much much more in the long run!!  I would call your local Kaplan center, they usually have 4 week crash courses available before each test, so you still have plenty of time!!! Good luck!!

What I mean is in troubled times God is the only hope; but in times a near normal life he is forgotten by so many and put down by the same people who needed him in times of crisis.

First of all, I'd like to point out that I don't critisize God, or anyones religion, for that matter. Yes, I choose to be wiccan, but that doesn't make me bad, by any means. It's not devil worship, as many have said here. Your question could be turned around to say "Why do christians put down Pagans and Wiccans?" I think we should all just agree to disagree, and move on from there. I have many friends who are christian, I even used to be a member of the Baptist faith, however, I wasn't satisfied. I found more religion sitting at my house than I ever did sitting in a Church! People are what turned me away from the church, because there are so many hypocrites who profess to be such upstanding christians, then they are caught doing "unchristian-like" things. I don't judge people, and people shouldn't judge me. That is my take on it.\n\nBlessed Be.

if you have her full name then you can check public records or hire an investigator to do so for you.

I'm thinking bout starting a company. However i'm broke. where and how could i get someone to finance it. it's my dream and i'm really passionate bout it.

If you are broke, then you need to find someone to put up the money for you. It is not easy - first you've got to have a really exciting idea that would work.\n\nIf you cannot find someone to loan you the money or invest with you in the business, then you can scale down your project at the level you can afford (e.g instead of dreaming of a McDonald's franchise, create an online business for $100) or be willing to really work hard and push your imagination to achieve your dreams.

A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude 25 N on the free end of the crank handle, and this end moves in a circular path of radius 0.31 m. The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every 1.6 s, what is the average power being expended?

Average Power = Work/Time\nWork=Force*Distance\nDistance=2*pi*radius=2*pi*(0.31 m)=(1.95 m)\nAverage Power = ((25 N)*(1.95 m))/(1.6 s)=30.4 W

I am a Republican.  I am getting fed up though.  I still stand behind Bush though.  You vote for someone you stick behind them til the term is over.  Then it is your call.  What I don't understand though is how can he ignore childrens futures?  I think we need you in office if you are a Republican.

( plz include some comforting words...T_T)\n♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ thank u for answering this question♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Just ask him and be confident in yourself. Don't say you don't look good. Have faith in you because nobody else will. If he isn't interested its not the end of the world, trust me. I've been turned down myself and it didnt kill me. It might hurt for a while, but you'll move on. So cheer up and just be straight up with him about how you feel and see where his mind is.


To my understanding, the women's rights movement was to provide women with rights and opportunities we'd never been granted previously.  The right to vote, the right to work, the right not to be just the property of our husband etc.  Did women go too far?\nI look around at my supposed "rights" and they seemingly have morphed into the "have to, no choice" realm.  I like the idea that I have a "Right to work" however now, it is no longer a choice but a necessity.  \nWhat I find truly ridiculous, is that the government will pay a stranger to raise my kid while I exercise my "Right" (sarcasm) to work, but they won't pay me the same amount if I were to choose to raise my child myself.  (Where is the right?) (note...I'm not on welfare, nor do I receive daycare assistance...so I'm not just whining about rules...I'm using this to illustrate).\nSo, if I have no choice in working or staying home, no choice in what job to take if I'm poor, no choice in who raises my kid....what rights did we win?

You're so right about other people being paid to take care of your kids, but not you.\n\nWhat's happened is that the work that was traditionally done by women has continued to be undervalued.  That doesn't mean that feminism has failed or is to be blamed, it just means that more progress needs to be made.  Men and women both need to have choices about how to spend their time and how to care for their families, and those choices need to be recognized as having equal worth.  \n\nMany European countries offer a stipend to families just for having children--it's not an income dependent welfare program, it's just some help out.  I believe that caregivers should also be given credit in the Social Security system, because many women have nothing for retirement if they have spent any time caring for children or other family members.  Maternity and family leave should be paid and extend beyond six weeks.  \n\nBut somebody would have to pay for all these programs.  So don't blame feminists, blame the folks who won't pay taxes, who don't believe in government programs, or who won't pay decent prices for goods so that employers can pay a living wage to their employees.


I've heard this from a few different people, but I don't know how true it is. Also I don't know how safe it is either.

No. Urban legend. See http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/visine.asp


is the us able to arrest you or is mexico responable for your arrest and if caught do you go to jail in the us or mexico

The Mexican and US authorities cooperate and the US authorities put you in jail.  Mexico then applies for extradition so that you can face trial in Mexico.  There's a pretty good chance that extradition would be granted.  You would be shipped to Mexico, tried and jailed.  You don't have to fear the death penalty, though.  Like almost all nations on the earth except the US and China, Mexico has no death penalty.
