of Christianity? So many books of the bible and numerous conversions and churches were said to have been his responsibility.. How could this have taken place? How could all of the people that had been preaching and teaching about the prophet Yeshua(Jesus)just step aside and let this man take over control of a fledgling religion in this manner?

Read his letters.  He was an extremely insightful and intelligent man.  He received his revelations of the Christian life first hand, meaning he didn't borrow from anyone other than the teachings of Christ and his disciples.  His instruction to other believers and churches were brilliant.\n\nHis testimony was something to beheld as well.  Here is a man who was a PHARISSEE.  He pursecuted Christians.  After his Damascus road experience, he immediately gave his life to Christ.  The change he went through is a hallmark of the restorative power of Jesus.\n\nBut, there's always a but, because of Paul's past, many are quite skepitcal of his teachings.  I understand why they would be.  But everything he teaches is supported elsewhere in scripture either by other epistles (mostly written before Paul's letters) or by the Old Testament examples he uses to illustrate his point.  \n\nSo, I think its inaccurate to view his contribuition as an usurping of the Christian faith.


My mom has been telling me to becareful, becuse the things I do may lead to O.C.D. things like organizing my money in number order, then alfabetically, and then try to make it perfectally flat. There are more examples she gave me, but it would take to long. To me, it's just a way of organization, not the first signs of O.C.D. What do you think? Thank you! :)

OCD usually invloves "wierd" or harmful obsessions like having to wash your hands all the time until they are raw, or wearing gloves b/c you are afraid of germs. Here is some more info:\n\nObsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety. \n\nSigns & Symptoms\nPeople with OCD may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals. They may be obsessed with germs or dirt, and wash their hands over and over. They may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things repeatedly.


By paper "Optimal bandgap variants of CdZnTe for gigh-resolution X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy" by Toney et al., they state that the optimal band gap is given by the trade-off between noise and charge generation statistics in CdZnTe. I'm not sure what they mean by this... and I haven't been able to find an explanation of this statistic.

Possibly "statistical fluctuations in charge generation" as mentioned in ref. 1. From ref. 2, which refers to "fundamental limits imposed by charge generation statistics", I get the impression that these variations may be an irreducible error source.


What is the the easiest way for complete world domination?

Start your own religion, preach often and loudly, especially throughout the Bible Belt and the Southwest, and you'll attract some followers. But you can't claim to be the Son of God, that's already taken and you'll sound like a tool. Your religion should have a mix of Western religion with Eastern philosophy and you'll attract the best of both worlds.


Runing from the pain\nAnd hurt you gave me\nRuning from the memories\nAnd times we had\nRuning from the hurt\nYou gave me when\nYou said goodbye\n\nNow you say goodbye\nWhen I'm layed down\nAnd you kiss my check\nOh so softly\nAnd a tear runs down\nYour face\nOh so slowly\nThe pain I felt\nYou now feel\nAfter I ran and ran\nAnd fell\nFrom the\nPain.\n\nThis poem is 'bout the girl diein' and the ex is laying her down so she could rest forever.

in my personal opinion its a good poem but i find poems are always better when the person has experienced what they are writing about whether or not its racism, abuse or love and you obviously have some skills as a poet but i think you could reach your full potential if you write about something you have been through


indecent obsession is the band that gave us the song "fixing a broken heart".

Never heard of the group to be honest. \n\nYour best bet is to join up with a guitar tab list group. \nHere is one that might be able to help you. \nhttp://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/guitartabs2000/\n\n\nNot the song you are looking for but you might be able to make a request to these guys. \nhttp://www.activeguitar.com/tab/guitar/Indecent_Obsession.asp\n\nI was unable to locate the artist's home page but I suspect these guys might be willing to tab it out for you directly. Worth a try if you can find a way to contact them.


IT SEEMS LIKE A BUNCH OF KIDS ON HERE AND NO REAL ANSWERS CAN ANYBODY TELL ME IN WHAT CATEGORY TO STAY IN TO LEARN SOMETHING USEFULL? SO FAR THIS SUCKS..I LIKE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND DONT ANSWER A QUESTION WITH A QUESTION.AND NO DUMB ANSWERS ALTHOUGH THEY WONT SURPRISE ME.

Stay in the catagories that you will actually learn something in, because the stupid and young idiots are mostly in the romance catagorey, poking fun at people. **shakes head**. It's ridiculous, and I agree with you. Take care, and good luck, man.


Would they send you a check? I only signed up for an account, and I didn't give my savings or credit account. If someone pays ME with PayPal, would they send me a check?

You can still receive money without a bank account, but you wouldn't receive a check.  The money would simply stay in your account until you spend it somehow.


I don't like boring people, but one thing I can't stand is silence - the people at work are such boring arseholes they don't talk about ANYTHING.  If you try and start a conversation with one of them they usually mumble a one-line response..  \n\nI'm not overbearing in my approach, my workplace is admitedly a pretty boring place where do date nothing has happened of interest; employees have totally different personalities, lifestyles, interests too.\n\nI can't stand the awkwardness, if you met the people anywhere else you'd write them off as losers, but since I've got to work with them, I want to try and get along with them - does anyone have any suggestions?

Just start off the conversation like this:"hey did you guys hear about the very bored co-worker who went crazy from lack of decent conversation by his up tight co-workers so he systematically put urine in there morning coffee causing them all to have permanent yellow teeth. That ought to get them going.


quit smoking, and what did you do to quit? Did you use any gums, patches etc? Now that they passed the smoking ban in bars and clubs in NJ I think that will make it easier to quit. I hate this addiction, it pisses me off that something has control over me!!!

I quit about a year ago, and I didn't use anything like patches or gum. Just willpower. It wasn't easy, but I knew that I was capable of doing it. I guess I did it to prove to myself that I could.\n\nGood luck!!


Have them write their own Greed Day styled song.  Let them use a tape recorder if you can.  Or let them take any green day song and write there own words for it.  Then arrange a performance. \nThey could also make Green Day posters for their rooms.\n\nThey could design a Green Day CD cover\n\nOK, the words Green Day are starting to sound weird in my head so that's it.


This election in tamil nadu could b a very close one and i predict tamil nadu may get a hung assembly after a long time, ie after the first elections way back in 1952. There is no political wave today in tamil nadu which is usually present( 1991- Rajiv Gandhi sympathy wave, 1996- anti incumbency wave against Jayalalitha). \n  \n    Moreover the anti incumbency wave which was present against jayalalitha during lok shaba elections that saw her party lose all seats, is not such a big factor today. The reasons for that being her recall of all the controversial laws like anti conversion bill, etc. Her actions like free cycle for school students, Good relief for Tsunami and flood, Absence of Rowdisim and caste conflicts in Tamil Nadu has strengthened her case. She has also been strengthened by the alliance with MDMK of Vaiko.\n\n   Meanwhile the strong alliance, the angry of goverenment workers and muslims over ADMK, is what tilts the balance in favour of Karunathi led DMK. The arrival of actor turned politician Vijaykanth into the political arena has also caused few upsets in poll calculations. Though his party may not win too much seats he could end up making a dent in the vote share of both the dravidian parties. The fact that BJP is standing alone could crearte sort of worry for ADMK over its traditional Upper caste Votes.\n\nSince the election is so close, both the parties has started Announcing lot of promises like free colout tv, Free rice, etc. Vaiko's constant attack on Sun TV network run by brother of Union Broad casting minister Dayanithi Maran and his replies to it has also made the poll intresting. Comedy scenes of the poll are being provided by another actor turned politician Kartik, who has assumed office as state president of Forward Bloc.\n\nthis is how people are going to vote in elections\n\nVery rich/ upper middle class/ poor = AIADMK alliance\nMiddle class/ Workers/Goverenment staff= DMK alliance\n\nMY prediction\n\nAIADMK ALLIANCE = 130\nDMK ALLIANCE   = 103\nVIJAYKANTH PARTY= 01 or 02.


The address bar on Internet explorer doesn't work. When I enter a address and press GO nothing happens, but I'm able to go to start run and enter the address and it takes me to the site.

you can probably reinstall your internet explorer...\nbut a way better option is to try this other browser called mozilla firefox.  Just run a search for it in the search engine.


No sci fi c r a p no monkey operated laser throwing dragon killing stuff. Just regular weapons from the middle ages swords axes bow and arrows, etc.

When I fight dragons in my dreams, I can't kill them unless they have all four feet/claws/whatever on the ground, so maybe there's something to that. Maybe not. Go for the throat.

I am interested in starting a franchise and I want to know if my chances are slim to none on getting approved if my spose and I make about 100K a year combined?

It will depend on what you plan to franchise and whether you fit all their requirements.\n\nIf you are planning to franchise Jiffy Lube, for example, you will not be approved. Total investment required is $214K-273K and Franchise fee is $35K with ongoing royalty fee of up to 5%; and income qualification requirements are\n\nNet worth requirement: $450K\nCash liquidity requirement: $150K\n\nObviously you fall short of Jiffy Lube's requirements http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/details/1,5885,12-12---282479-1,00.html?section=costs \n\nBut your income may qualify for WSI Internet, which is a franchise offering full-service Internet consulting for businesses. Their qualifications are (a) Net worth requirement: $68K-82K; (b) Cash liquidity requirement: $5K -- which are within your income range. http://www.entrepreneur.com/franzone/details/1,5885,12-12---282961-1,00.html?section=costs\n\nIf franchising is your chosen business route, I strongly suggest that you attend the International Franchise Expo on June 2-4 to be held in Washington DC  http://www.franchiseexpo.com/ . You will be able to talk to franchising companies, see what interests you, and check if you can qualify for their program.


what is the training about? on what aspects?\nPlease let me know if there is somewhere on the net I can go to for more information.\n\nThanks in advance as I am asked to find out the information about the trainning and if I dont, I may get sacked...thanks a lot!!!

Oh yes there are many many places and types of education for caregivers. It all depends on what area you want to go to. Elderly, children, special needs and many more. Google caregivers or go to Universities and/or colleges here in Canada. I am in that buisness myself, actually in the midst of changing my career to be in that area. If you need more detailed information, feel free to email me and we can talk more about what it is you are looking for.Good luck and enjoy!Ps why would you get sacked for NOT getting the information?????


I do know that this can only be achieved by a pitcher.\nI also know that a no-hitter is more likely to happen than a perfect game.

a no hitter is just like it sounds, the pitcher doesnt allow any hits in the game, but there can still be walks.  A perfect game is no hits, runs, errors, walks, etc. A perfect game is very hard to achieve. Only 17 pitchers have ever gotton a perfect game, here they are.\n\nCy Young \n\nAddie Joss \n \nCharlie Robertson \n \nDon Larsen\n \nJim Bunning\n \nSandy Koufax\n \nCatfish Hunter \n \nLen Barker \n \nMike Witt \n \nTom Browning \n \nDennis Martinez \n \nKenny Rogers \n \nDavid Wells\n \nDavid Cone\n \nRandy Johnson\n\nJohn Lee Richmond  \n\nMonte Ward

what is the difference between PIC16F628 and PIC16F628A  and can we program them by PIC16F84 programmer?

Probably nothing but a die shrink. The "A" is the newer one, and the non "A" is going to be obsolete. You should be able to use the same programmer. For more info go to www.microchip.com


my son was born in St Thomas, and he has lost his birth certificate, how do I get a copy

Was your son born in a hospital? Contact the hospital in which he was born and ask where they keep the birth certificates. I'm guessing their must be some sort of government center where records like that are kept.


Even if you don't believe give me your interpretation.\n\n1 Corinthians 15:21  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.\n22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.\n\nThank you

They essentially mean the same thing, and also are pretty clear if you have read much of the bible. Man, as originally created wasn't supposed to die (immortal, just as God), but, when Adam and Eve disobeyed the only single rule they were given, not to eat of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil, God took immortality from them.  The only way to redemption of your soul after that was the Mosaic law, basically the 10 commandments and all the other thousands of little inconsequential rules the preisthood (the Levites) felt needed to be added. This is EXACTLY the same as the mess the mullas and fanitical clerics have made of the pretty simple laws of Islam.  But thats another story...  Jesus, coming as a mortal man (by man came also the resurrection) freed mankind from the Levitical/Mosaic law by his sacrifice.\n\nAs for the second scripture, Same thing, because of Adams sin (disobedience) we all now are mortal, (For as in Adam, all die) but, "Even so in christ, all shall be made alive" which means through Jesus' sacrifice, we are freed from eternal death.


this question only belongs to the people who are active at the 'cricket->sports' section! Mr. chandru u lose yr bet..;-)..India has won the final ODI and win the series 5-1..all cricket lovers are welcome to comment on India's win and all those who challenged 'chandru' are welcome to win 2 points...

Im a county player and i knew that England with the number of changes in their ODI side would not stand a chance, but 5-1 my county could've done better than that.


Maybe someone can help me. When I was 38 I ahd a 21 year old gf. We were so much in love. Her dad and brother liked me butr not her mom. Her mom used the age differece to cover her real reason, which was she thought I would keep working for my gf's dad in the wholesale business. Yholesale can be rough on the body. The last I heard from the ex she was living in Booneville, MS. She may now be living in Red Bay AL, Florence AL, Savannah, TN, or northwestern Ohio. Does anyone know thje best way to get ahold of someone tha has left your life? if she does not wamt to have contact I would respect her wishes, we did part om goof terms.

If you really want to get in contact with her, nothing should stop you.  Try phone books, internet directories, let everyone know that you are looking for her.  Maybe a friend of a friend might give you a good lead.  The separation may have made you realize just how much you loved her, and it's important to try and see if the relationship should continue or if you have to seek closure.  The last thing you want to do is end up with regret when you are older.  If the relationship does not work out the way you would like, at least in retrospect you can say that you tried everything for the sake of love.  I've heard people say time and time again how much they regretted not pursuing a love interest further when they were younger.  So go for it and good luck.


i had not applied 4 the card and i did not use it at all

credit card companies do not just send out cards, regardless if you are a club member or not.  They will send out an pre=approved application, which you have to sign and fill in then send back to them.\n\nThis sounds like a scam to me.  Investigate the bank that issued the card and if it is bogus, report this to your state attorney general's office.


In which country do you find the lowest point on the earth?

The Dead Sea has the lowest surface elevation on the Earth at; 408 m (1,340 ft) below sea level.\n\nThe lowest depth of the sea floor is the Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean at 35,827 ft below sea level\n\n****************\njust for the record, the deepest elevation of Death Valley in the USA is only 282 ft (86meters) below sea level, though it is the deepest spot in the USA, is not NEARLY as deep/low as the Dead Sea.

They end up dead.\n\nOkay, seriously, Juliet goes from being a meek submissive girl who is afraid of her mother and her nurse to a strong-willed girl who fakes her own death, deals with the death of her cousin and manages to go behind her parents back to get the man she loves.\n\nTrue, an accident botches it all, but Juliet matures immensely throughout the course of the play.

May it be a holiday, a season, time of the week....whatever you like. Oh, and why?

i like spring best cause in the winter it's too cold, in fall i have to rake leaves and bag them, and in the summer it's too hot. in spring, the air smells fresh after rain, and the grass turns green, and the trees grow leaves.


does being a certain weight affect a togetherness

yes it does..ask me..put on some weight in an relationship...bot dumped pretty soon..or say became friends!! you think it doesnt matter..until it happens agai  and again and again


i've never had a boyfriend and i'm 15. i'm not a loser but i'm not popular...please don't say "well someone will like you eventually" or "just try flirting with them!!"\n\nhow do i flirt with them in the first place???

hey im 15 too, so i know what your talking about. I like girls that I can talk to, and that i can see something happening between us. If you just want a boyfriend in general and its not really that you like someone, then i say that you just get involved a little more with the group, and make your self noticed. stand out as an individual. once you find a guy in specific, just try to be friends at first, then make him want you. maybe we should talk later and you can give me more details, send me an e-mail and we can get in touch.


Are all emails hidden as to the owners of them? I am having a problem with someone and want to know thier identity more specifically from what country they are sending it from. I was amazed one can be in Africa have a pobox in usa and scheme with it. How does one report the actions of this or is it not worth the agrivation?

Depending on the exact nature of the problem, I would think you could do something through the FBI, or if it is a threat, your local Police Department.  If they are committing fraud, then perhaps the District Attorney could do something about the Post Office Box.  The U.S. Post Office doesn't take very kindly to any type of mail fraud.  Perhaps you should call them for advice.


Acer\nApple Laptops \nCompaq Laptops \nDell Laptops \nFujitsu Laptops \nGateway Laptops \nHP Laptops \nIBM Laptops \nPanasonic Laptops \nSony Laptops \nToshiba Laptops\n\nI am looking top buy one and am totally confused as to which brand to go for, because laptops with similar specs will have totally different prices.\nI truly appreciate your help. \n+ if you could tell me of a good online store that would be even better.

Buying a laptop can be a nightmare! More so if you are a computer geek. With all the technical jargon floating around, companies can make you crazy.\n\nMost of the companies listed make good laptops. Comapnies like Sony and Panasonic are more of consumer electronics companies. Their motive of having a range of laptops is basically  to complete their product line. \n\nIBM has recently sold its THINKPAD (IBM's brand name for laptops) to Lenovo. However, Lenovo's range of thinkpad laptops is a bit expensive for the same hardware configuration offered by other hardware vendors.\n\nToshiba has a very good range of laptops. The only problem is that it is not very well serviced around the world.\n\nApple laptops or rather iBooks (Apple's brand name for their laptops) is very good and attractive. The only problem here is that they are designed to integrate with their own operating system i.e. Apple's MAC. Recently, they have introduced laptops compatible with Microsoft Windows XP. But one really doesn't know the technical back up support Apple would provide in case one is using Microsoft Windows XP.\n\nAcer has a good range of laptops but agian one is not sure of the after sales support they provide.\n\nSeeing strictly from a business perspective, HP mainly focuses its attention to printing hardware. It has traditionally been a company with excellent printers. However, after the acquisition of Compaq, HP has introduced an excellent line of laptops. But their customer support remains a bone of contention.This is where DELL beats most of its competitors.\n\nBacked with excellent telephonic technical support and next business day on site support, DELL addresses the critical problem a customer faces in time of a crisis. This is one quality, the other companies are hardly able to match. Moreover, DELL focuses its primary attention to assembling Laptops and Desktops. This enables it to provide innovative mix of products that cater to a customers from all walks of life with a college going student at one end to hungry needs of corporate IT customers and governments on the other. Further, DELL is the one of the first hardware vendors to successfully introduce new products launched by other IT hardware developers like Intel, nVidia, ATI etc.\n\nHowever, one cannot conclusively say which company is better. The choice of a laptop is very personal and individualistic.


I'm write feature stories for a newspaper and my editor wanted me to give him new story ideas. I thought and nothing came to my head, do you think you all could help me? The features would be about what young people are interested in, what they would like to read, anything besides sex.

If you do stories on young people and their interest you will never be out of a job, it's hard to keep up with people and their interest because it's always changing! Now there is a story! I would check the Internet out, the schools and Church's, etc. so you can get a wide range with variety.


i cant stand to even hear it on TV or watch ad's about it but my BF and his cousin live by it i try to tell them it totally fake. do you agree?

Many people have mis conceptions about professional wrestling. I agree with the fact that everything is staged, a lot of matches are pre planned. But even though that statement is true the wrestlers do actully hit each other, although in a way that cause less pain than a typical punch, and they do get slammed down onto the wooden floor of the canvas, which is springy to create less damage. \n\nAll wreslers are trained to take all variety of bumps and how to land correctly, but this does not reduce the possiblity of injury. Professional wrestlers train intensivly to get thier bumps perfect and to increase their pain barrier. All professional wrestlers have to be well trained and most are highly trained althetes.\n\nAs i said earlier most matches are pre planned but a more recent tend for the better trained stars is to give them and ending and let them decide on the way a match progresses. This tends to happpen more in independant federations or with better trainerd veterans in big companies like the WWE.\n\nIn short, yes some elements are staged, like all the storylines, although some are not (called shoots) they are very rare, with the most famous being the montreal screwjob. But there are also elements of real pain and injury for the wrestlers.


One place the USA is more progressive than Europe is in the issue of racism. Can't believe how awful those Spaniards are!

1st of all its not soccer!!!!!! it called football!!!! in the USA all these incidents dont occur cuz the US fans r not as passionate as european fans bout their clubs... look at the south americans 4 eg. the match b/w river n boca...


I have tried through the website since last year, and have not managed to get any.  Now it shows that there are no tickets left for sale.  Is my only option to hope for scalpers in Germany?

Go to google and type in fifa world cup germany 2006...it will give you the "officail website" than you can go to where it says tickets and buy from there. They may or may not have them posted. If not you can find the scheduals by googling it again.


I know that Easter falls in the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Buy why is there a difference between the date of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches? I know they use a different calendar, but what is the actual cause of using a different calendar?

The calculation of the date of Easter is the job of the Pope of Rome.  Until the split both groups used the Julian calendar.  After the split, Gregory changed the calendar and added leap days.  If you do not acknowledge Rome, you use the existing calendar used by the apostles.  It is not technically the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox.  It is the first Sunday after the first paschal moon on or after March 21st.  The paschal moon is a calculated moon not a real full moon.  The ancients didn't have sufficient computing power to predict the full moon that far in advance so they substituted the paschal moon.  Because of Gregory's calendar reforms and improved computation, it is possible to know the date of Easter well into the future.  It is no longer a practical obligation of the Pope to announce the date of Pascha (Easter in English language speaking countries).


It may not be perfect but.... If not there then where?  Let these choir boys walk?   Theses are for the most part people dedicated to killing as many Americans in particular and non-fundementalist Muslims in general as possible.\n\nA large percentage of the ones that have been released have been recaptured, killed or detained back in Iraq or Afghanistan fighting again.\n\nThe sooner the bleeding hearts crying for the release of these poor lambs realize they want to kill us, them included, by any means possible the better off we will be.\n\nTry them in our civil court system??  HA!  Look what a multi million dollar circus the Moussaoui trial has been and not near finished yet because it will be ENDLESSLY appealed.\n\nThe next time anyone starts beating their breast and whining about the detainees "civil rights" being violated, refer them to the web sites with the beheadings of the hostages in Iraq and let them see how the rights of the terrorists prisoners are respected while they kick and scream as their heads are sawed off.\n\nSo.... what do I REALLY think??  OK, nail all the cells doors shut and set the place on fire, that would do justice and shut the people up calling for release.  Detainees cases allll closed, next pleeese!


Why is the Christian Science room always closed? I have never seen the room open when passing by.


I find a long way and it's more than 30 steps and very confusing, is there an easy way. \nPS. Not homework, re-learning old material since I'm older and curious.

While looking for easier ways to do things with factors, I realized there might be a commonality between the left side and the right side.\n\nfactor a 2 out of the left side...\n2(17x-3.8) = (17x-3.8)(x+12.5)\n\ndivide both sides by (17x-3.8)...\n2 = x+12.5\n\nsubtract 12.5 from both sides...\n-10.5 = x\n\nAnd there you have it.  x = -10.5\n\n\nAnother possible approach would have been to do what the second answerer suggested, but use "completing the square" instead of the quadratic formula.


Come on YA Nascar is to big to have to post under Sports>other.

YES,YES,YES, I'm really surprised there isn't one.


I have been married for 6 years to a wonderful lady and had 2 great kids with her. About 19 years ago I married someone and then about a year later she left me with a newborn not knowing what to do so I turned the baby over to my aunt and uncle to care for and when the baby turned 10, my aunt and uncle died in a crash and my daughter was turned over to the state. My wife was so good wanting to find her and she finally did recently. We met my daughter last week and I was shocked to notice that she had personal hygiene problems. She stayed with us for 3 days and didn't bathe the whole time she was here. My wife has been bugging me wanting me to talk to her about it b/c she is afraid it will affect our 2 little ones being around someone like that. I've told my wife that she's had a rough life and that's why she's like. I know that there's no excuse for poor hygiene but I don't feel right talking about how she should be when I didn't raise her. I don't want to hurt my wife b/c she is right

Maybe your daughter just didn't feel comfortable bathing in your home because it is a new situation to her. I'm not sure if you mean she showed up at your home smelling and that's why your concerned or it's just that she didn't bathe while she was there. It's also hard to say because I don't know what her living situation is right now does she live on her own or with a family. If you feel you must talk to her about it I would do it gently and let her know that she should feel comfortable in your home and take full advantage of the things you have there. Let her know if she's got washing to do to bring it with her and use your washing machine and dryer. Please don't tell her she smells or that you think she is a bad influence on your children she may take it the wrong way and not come to visit anymore.


ive always wondered wht connect the easter bunny has to easter...i understand the egg..but the bunny?? and is santa claus a character cococola invented!!!??

Easter was a pagen holiday, for fertility. I know this is cliche, but have you ever heard the term "Multipling like rabbits"? Ergo - Bunnies. I am not entirely certain that is why the bunny is there, but I am certain easter was a fertility holiday.


I'm sorry but I want to gain weight and nothing I do is working. Where can I go.

If we all evolved from the same source, why haven't the races mixed more, and how long will it be before the races are completely mixed.\nIs mixing races gene's better for our future evolution?

If all humans started in Africa a very long time ago, they did not all stay there.  They wandered.  And as they wandered, tribal groups formed which were isolated one from another.  The characteristics of a given tribe were selected out in response to different environments.  Thus, for example, northern Europeans store fat on their bodies efficiently (way too efficiently for modern times!) to protect them from the cold winters.  The closer to the equator a tribe is, the darker skin is more valuable, and selection brings it to the forefront.  \n\nSo that's how we separated.  Now, with world wide transportation, we are coming together once more.  And as people from different gene pools breed, they produce the healthy children who have fewer matching of recessive traits.  Recessive traits are more likely to be the ones that cause problems.  So yes, it is better for us to mix, for the evolution of the species as a whole, and for the beauty and good health of the individual children thus created.


There's several houses above me; I need to know whom to contact for repairs.  Thanks for your help!

The County Inspectors office, they will tell you how much money they want to what ever your question is, and if it has to do with sewer's, it will be expensive. I know, I put sewer, water, etc, in for a living.

My first suggestion would be to contact Apple directly (www.apple.com or call 1-800-692-7753). Otherwise you could try searching on eBay for them.

Hi, All african countries have cars and houses so that's the wrong way to put it.  Judged by Gross Domestic Product we have unusual answers.  Yes, first South Africa is far ahead, but the other four contenders are Botswana, Namibia, Tunisia and Gabon.  All these countries have different development strategies, and I'd say that Botswana and Gabon are not developed at all, they simply have natural resources and a small population.  Botswana has diamonds, and Gabon has oil, but Botswana has a nearly 40% AIDS rate, and Gabon has most of its country as undeveloped jungle, with nearly no industries.  \n\nMy answers would be \n1) South Africa: it's industrialised and now with the end of Apartheid many blacks have risen to economic success. \n2) Tunisia: they've managed to become a prime tourist destination and use the money for industrialisation, they've done it all without oil or diamonds.\n3) Namibia: Quite similar to South Africa, was in fact part of Apartheid South Africa until 1992, so again industry created by European settlers with the usual problems of bad distribution and exclusion of the native population. \n4) Marocco: Another tourist destination in Africa, but they have done not as well as Tunisia in terms of lifting the rest of the population out of poverty.  \n5) An unlikely answer, but Ivory Coast: They were essentially doing well before the war and are likely to bounce back after it, the prosperity was starting to cause ethnic tensions and that really brought the country down in 2002.\n\nI exclude places like Algeria where despite the oil boom, most people live in fear.  Libya is still a one-man rule, I'll wait and see on that case.  I'm not impressed by oil or diamonds when they can't help an AIDS crisis or create good housing for all, so places like Gabon don't figure high in my statistics.  \n\nOh, and some the islands of Africa (Cap verde, Seychells, Mauritius are doing relatively well, partly due to offshore financial centres, and tourism).  But offshore finance also gives a veil of secrecy for capital to escape out of the resource rich countries, therefore harming the countries like Nigeria which is oil rich.  So Mauritius bankers are actually causing poverty in rest of Africa... see below the link.


Of course it is... where've you been? Greed and personal vendetta. That's all it is.\n\nMeanwhile, the real culprit, Osama Bin-Ladin is out there running around the lovely mountains of Pakistan dragging his dialysis machine and home video set-up around still making pronouncements about how he's going to **** America up.\n\nNice going Bush.

I have tried low calories and walking on a tread mill but nothing seems to work. Any help as to the healthiest way to lose weight and get healthy would be helpful.

First of all, get your thyroid hormone replaced - follow up with your doctor to make sure that hormone levels are where they should be. After that, it really is just about diet and exercise. Keep track of the calories (your doctor should tell you what your daily caloric intake requirement is - try not to exceed that limit), and then get out and MOVE! Try jogging on the treadmill - if that's too hard on the knees, try an eliptical. Make lifestyle adjustments. Try walking or biking places instead of using the car. Make your weekend activities physical, such as going on a hike or a bike trip with some friends. Take a fun aerobics class that has 'good energy' that you like - there are lots of varieties ranging form kickboxing, to spinning, to step aerobics, to African dance. Try to get something athletic in 5-6 days a week - somethign that you wouldn't 'normally' do. Don't expect all the weight to come off immediately - try to make these changes, adn over the next couple months you should notice a difference.

Um.  I don't really understand the first answer above.\n\ny+4 = +- sqrt(4(x-3))\ny = -4 +- sqrt(4(x-3))\n\nI guess this is a sideways looking parabola that points to the right.  It's shifted down 4, to the right 3, and has a scaling factor of 1/4.

is it true they dissaprove of contraception?  if so then how ignorant is that, do not have sex because its immoral but if you do then dont use contraception, to me thats immoral .anyone agree?  im sure lots of you disagree.

True Love waits is a campaign that is asking kids to wait until they are married to have sex.  They are not against contraception, just giving your body sexually to anyone who is not your husband/wife.  Christians believe that sex is the act that makes two people become one flesh (a tying of souls together).  With that idea in mind, they are calling people to only give themselves and tie their souls to one other person, their spouse.


she suffers from high bp & diabities .is slip disc a life long ailement,what are the precautions to be taken .is it related to age , lack of exercise ,health ,diabities, or high bpor something else ?is there anything to worry about?

A slipped, or herniated, disc can be related to age and lack of exercise as well as any stresses placed on the back.  Gentle exercise, under the supervision of a doctor, is beneficial, as can be weight loss or in severe cases surgery.  The pain can be terrible, and pay attention to any signs of movement problems.  BTW, this may be beyond anything a chiropractor can do.

He was diagnosed when he was 16, he never said that he is hearing voices, he still doesn't believe that's he is sick. He won't talk unless you ask him a question, even then, he gives you a short answer. Sometimes he gives you two different answers when you ask him the same question. If someone asks how are you? it takes him a while to say "fine". He does take his medicine requlary, He is taking Abilify and Risperedal. The thought of him ending up in streets depreases me. Of course, I would always take care of him, but I want him to have a life of his own. He can't work, he is in school now, but can only take 1 or 2 classes a semester, he is already 20, he can't drive. He has no friends, no gf, doesn't talk to ANYBODY.I talk to him sometimes, but then I feel like I am talking to a wall, I can't ever get anything out of him, so I just gave up talking. I buy him everything, take care of him, take him to school. I don't know what's out there for people with this disease. ANY ADVICE ????

I feel really sorry for you and for your brother, but he is lucky to have you.  \n\nIs he interested in anything like art or music?  Maybe if you could find something that he is interested in an try to encourage that.\n\nSome hospitals and health care centres have opportunities for people like your brother to get together and meet and talk about their problems.  Sometimes just talking to other people in a similar situation is helpful.  \n\nAlso, see if you can find any schizophrenia support groups where you could get a lot of information for your brother as well as yourself.  \n\nThe links below contain a lot of info on schizophrenia and support groups and organizations.  Hope that helps.

I bought the ring three years ago and its gemstone is supposed to be a faceted "Starburst Peridot", but recently it has become a cloudy white hue...is it a a faux gem or something?

Peridot is not normally treated. There is also no commercial synthetic for Peridot.  It is a lovely stone but it is a little soft (hardness about 6.5) and brittle.  It is susceptible to certain chemicals (acids) & thermal shock so it needs a bit of care, especially if it is set as a ring.\n\nI need to see your stone to be sure, but here are some questions that might lead you to solve this mystery:\n\nFirst off, are you certain this stone is a Peridot? Most jewellers are not gemologists and may not be able to correctly identify a stone.  If proper gemological tests have not been conducted on this stone, it could turn out to be anything! \n\nIf you are certain it is a Peridot: \nDo you wear your ring often? Do you use creams or sprays? Do you cook or clean with it on? Observe the surface of your stone.  Is the polish dull? Are the facets abraded? These cut factors can affect the quality of color of your stone and may cause a stone to look "cloudy".\n\nHope this helps!

First of all, my grandmother moved in a while ago, and she gripes and complains about EVERYTHING and she has no common sense so theres no point in tellin her how it bothers my mom and stepdad and brother and me! \n\nSecondly, my parents are divorced as you can probably guess and when I do go up to see him, It really bothers me to be around him and I have no idea why. And it wasn't always like this, I used to like being around him.\n\nLastly, I feel like I'm less than all of my friends, I feel poor and like my house isn't as big as theirs is and that really bothers me.\n \nOh yeah, and my mom seems to be really depressed after my grandmother moved in and I don't know how to fix it. It bothers me when people are upset, especially my parents. I'm told by other people that it's not my job to worry about my elders feelings,but what they don't get is it is! I wish it wasn't but I can't help but notice it. \nPlease help me, and give any advice you feel i should have, please.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Your grandmother has a lot of knowledge, and you can learn from her. She has been in this world a lot longer than you, and she deserves your respect. \nI don't know your age, but when you are older, and your grandmother is long gone, you will wish that you had spent more time with her.  And you will miss her so very much.  \nTake the time now, to get to know her.  PLEASE !\nYour grandmother is a treasure that you don't know about. Look up to her and honor her.\nIf you do, then one day, you will think about her, when she is no longer in this world. Then you will be so proud of her, and that you shared times with her.\nShe needs your love now.


And just lie on the sofa writing songs all day?\n(OK, I'd go to the park for a bit, once in a while too)

most of my inspiration happens when there is a tough time.  experience is the best motivation for songs i would say that if you sit on your sofa all day or go to the park for a period that is not enough room for life to happen.  unless you hope to loose everything.  then that would be quite a journey that you could write about.  however just let inspiration hit you were ever you are and write down ideas and what spurred the thought while you are at work and then pick it back up when you are home.  PS.  if you right lyrics before music that is what i call poetry.  If you write the music before that lyrics then that is true song writing.


I saw most of the answerer can answer the distance between planets, but i just get really confuse. How the scientist measure the distance?

They can bounce light off and measure it, but I don't think they've done that with the distant planets.  Redshift only works with huge distances like distant stars that are hundreds or millions of light years away.\n\nThink of the hundreds (and thousands) of years that humans have been keeping track of the movements of the planets.  Mathematicians can use these records to determine how far away from the sun these planets must be in order to move the way they do in the sky,  after all this is how they figured out that they all move around the sun instead of the earth.\n\nOnce you know roughly how far away these planets are from the sun and how far the earth is from the sun, you can determine the range of distances from the earth.  Sometimes the planets can be in line with us between them and the sun and be close.  Sometimes they are on the complete opposite side of the sun and are at their most distant.\n\nNow, of course, we have satellites that have gone around every planet and it's easy to figure out how long signals take to get to them and back.  But we knew the distances already or else the satellites would never have gotten there.


i got a quote of 7.75 interest rate on a 30 yr.conforming fixed home loan(for $45,000)and he told me it would be like 390 a month, not including tax and insurance.  when i go to a mortgage calculator on the internet and type in 7.75%, 45,000 loan, and $0 down payment it says around $250 a month. can anyone tell me more about how this works, thank you

several things could be happening here\n\nyour lender could be including private mortage insurance if you don't have 20% down and the lender requires it\n\nalso, the lender may be including fees and closing costs into the loan, which could run into thousands of dollars\n\nbe very wary of any loan where all costs are not disclosed to you in a truth-in lending statement, and if a lender or broker makes promises to you or tells you to disregard any truth-in -lending statement you do get

explain in detail piezo-electric transducer

transducer   \n\ntrans·duc·er [tranz dssər, trans dssər]\nn \n\n1.  physics device that converts energy: a device that transforms one type of energy into another, for example, a microphone, a photoelectric cell, or an automobile horn  \n\n2.  biology biological converter of energy: a biological entity that converts energy in one form to another, for example, the rods and cones of the eye or the hair cells of the ear  \n\n\n                     OR\n\nTransducer\nTransducer, device that converts an input energy into an output energy. Usually, the output energy is a different kind of energy than the input energy. An example is a temperature gauge in which a spiral metallic spring converts thermal energy into a mechanical deflection of the dial needle. Because of the ease with which electrical energy may be transmitted and amplified, the most useful transducers are those that convert other forms of energy, such as heat, light, or sound, into electrical energy. Some examples are microphones, which convert sound energy into electrical energy; photoelectric materials, which convert light energy into electrical energy; and pyroelectric energy crystals, which convert heat energy into electrical energy.

1. Clean up your act - stop being a criminal\n2. Learn to speak and write proper English (I realise this may be difficult since you live in US)\n3. Stop trying to have sex with her, it's not the most important thing in the world\n4. Show her and her mother some respect \n5. Show them both that you can reform and become a sensible, responsible, well-behaved member of society\n6. Learn what makes a successful relationship - clue: it's not sex\nThose should keep you going for a while

I am thinking about starting a small business on the web to sell programs that I have made, but I realized that there may be things I am not accounting for, like taxes. I am only selling them for about $5-$10, so I do not want to go through more trouble than it's worth. If I just charge people through PayPal, is there anything else I should know before I can start selling... e.g. taxing, registering business somewhere, other legal issues... or am I exempt from all that since I'm running it myself and it is online-only? If anyone knows this off the top of his/her head, I would appreciate it rather than reading through complicated information at, say sba.com. Thanks.

I know that businesses that sell through ebay must charge sales tax when selling to someone within their own state. I would contact your state government to see hor your state handles this situation.


Every time we go someplace,  he manages to find an obese woman to talk to or to help, and he usually goes thru the check-out line that has the fattest cashier.  He also only goes to the obese women's porn sites.  Incidentally, I'm about sixty pounds overweight.

I'm really sorry that you feel this way.  First and foremost, you have to look after your own health.  Try to lose the weight.  Don't change the amount of food you eat, just make it healthy food.\nI'm not sure how accepting you are of his flirting and visiting porn sites but I would have a complete cow!!!  I can tell that you love him so, ultimately you must decide what is best but, to me, it doesn't sound like he has a whole lot of respect for your feelings.\nLose the weight.  You are the one that will be there your whole life.  You will have to deal with it.  A lot of health problems can crop up because of weight issues.  Do what is right for you.\nTell him that you still want to look good, for him, but, you are worried about your health.  Ask his opinion and see how he responds.  If your well-being is a priority to him it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

My girlfriend says she has never had an orgasm through regular intercourse just orally and I want to be the first one.

Have sex in the female superior position (woman on top) so that she can control the stimulation to her clitoris. Have her to lay flat on top of you, it does not work as well when she sits straight up.


I just recently bought something off of Ebay. The day I won the auction I went out, got a money order and sent it to the seller. 2 weeks later I am waiting for the package, so I go on ebay to see what's up. I find out that my seller is no longer a registered user and probably took my money. Is there any way to get my money back?

First, you should still have the seller's email address. You can get it by clicking on the link of what you bought in your My Summary. E-mail the seller and tell them you expect an answer ASAP.\nIf they do not email you in a day or two, contact Ebay and File an Item Not Received Claim.\nShould you fail to get the item, the only recourse you would have is to file in small claims court. You must have the seller's address as you mailed them the money order.\nHope this helps!!!

is there any relation between happiness,sorrow, other feelings and spirit ?or they are all internal changes in hormones and brain proteins?

There is according to 5-element theory.  In short here:\nThere is Shen which translates as Spirit. "Spirit is the capacity that allows self-reflection on volitional intentions, creativity, meaning and moral cultivation.  It is the capacity of a human being to 'an initiator, a participant, and a guardian of the universe'.  It also allows humans to be particiapants in shaping their fate.  Spirit is the process of self-examination, not the outcome"\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0809228408/002-1599141-7712845?v=glance&n=283155\n\nIn the medical tradition Spirit is divided into five smaller Spirits.\nThese smaller Spirits are Hun, Po, Yi, Zhi and Shen.  They are 'responsible' for mental states and traits. This is where it gets complicated which is why i will hope someone will come along and can explain it better.  \nThe subject is so huge and i'm not really qualified to explain with any authority but do have a look at the two books links. \n\n"Dr. Hammer has used his experience as a psychotherapist and his intellectual odyssey from West to East, to extend the patterns of Oriental medicine. Just as Oriental thinkers developed their tradition from experience and the need to reframe that experience in new conditions, Hammer explores the positive and negative manifestations of human character to create fully formed pictures with which to organize our recognition of bodymind. After introducing essential concepts, the text presents the patterns of Chinese medicine in the context of the five phases. Within each phase the concepts that correspond to that phase, as well as the related organ patterns and disharmonies, are discussed in terms of psychology and psychiatry.

Does anyone know where the saying he was just blowing smoke came from?

Most literally translating to "trying to get a reaction" out of somebody. Originated from a 16th century technique to determine death by literally blowing tobacco smoke into someone's anus (through a long pipe) - where a reaction indicated that the person was still alive.

tap meaning listen in on your phone calls

Ever hear of the Patriot Act? The NSA's been doing just that in a big way since 9/11,and was doing it on a smaller scale since before that. Also let's not forget the FBI,\nthat also has a history of tapping phones since J.Edgar\nHoover-I'm sure they've kept up with the times.


Education facilities, Job oriented facilities, Higher studies, Facilities in educational institutes, etc.

Ok most public buildings in bigger cities are disabled friendly. All busses have a place for wheelchairs and seats for disabled. Most busses know "kneel" for people to rool on and off and the driver will help. Most comuter trains are made so you can get on or off. Some of the smaller towns and villages might not be so easy, because of cobblestones but even smallest places have ramps along with the stairs.


I know they will have something special for 30 years. does anyone have a guess what it is

Maybe the newer video ipods ( with the bigger screens ) or they will improve there laptops or something like that I guess.

I've been working a my current job for two years. For the most part, I like it. It is creative and the benefits are okay. I've been finding myself getting bored and procrastinating. Also, one of the biggest reasons that I started to look for another job is that I hate where I live. When I first got my current job, I had to move an hour across town because I could barely afford the high gas prices to get to work. During my stay in this city, I've lived in two different apartments and hated them both. I recently got a job offer in an area of town in which I really enjoy living in. However, the job is not as creative. It is more production-oriented. (I am in the graphic design/printing industry). So, do you think I should take the new job for the time being so I can move back to a city that I like. My lease is up at the end of july. Do you think I should take the job or wait for something better to come along?

I think that you should wait for something better to come along. If you are not going to be happy with the job why take it? You may just have to bite the bullet and pay the high gas prices.


Hi im 11 years old 4 feet 8 and 90 pounds\nhow can i effectivly lose some weight?

you are growing and you are going to short-circuit your growth cycle is you start dieting now.  Just let yourself grow up before you worry about your wieght.


What did you think of it? I found it disgusting and wrong on so many levels. The singing was good but the songs were awful. I thought it would be really good because Alan Cummings was in it but my mind was changed halfway through the first act.

These songs, written by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, are considered by all people who know anything, to be among the most important works of musical theatre. Next time out, just go see something mediocre by Andrew Lloyd Webber...\n\n"The songs were awful" but "It was once a masterpiece..." ?


This guy I've been dating for about three months is getting really agervated because we don't get to hang out as much any more!  We live two counties apart and I usually only get to see him on the weekends, but I've been trying to get to see him at least one day during the week!  Between me working and going to night school once a week and him working till 4 p.m. and working a sub job once a week its not that easy!  What should I do???

I don't believe you should break up with him if you both care about each other.  Sit down together and go over your schedules.  See what free time you both have availabe and make set plans to see each other at these times.  Also make sure the time you spend together is put to good use.  Go places together like the movies, dinner etc don't just waste it.\n\nBreaking up is not the answer, many married couples both have full time jobs or even two jobs plus children if the all split because they couldn't be bothered making the effort it would be a pretty sad state of affairs.\n\nA commited relationship is always requires a bit of hard work and some fine tuning until you get things running smoothly :)


i no this sounds very weird...but-- i rely rely like this guy on the internet.i try to give him as many hints as possible but ugh its hard! it would b kool for him to ask me out but we r like in different states.but the states r connecting.and im going to his state on vacation in the future..\ni dont want to ask him out cuz if its not me the 1 he likes i dont wana complicate out frindship!!so wat should i do??

Their are plenty of rich guys out there for you. Just use caution with someone over the internet, he might be a good person and everything, but he could be too short, not so rich or good looking..

I was in during Vietnam and I was told we would win. Yea! Right. We lost on 30th April 75. Now we are in an illegal war with Iraq. Any idea when we will lose this war? The USA never learns.

Vietnam was before my times. But I've been following the Iraq war in great depth. Yes, we shall lose, but not without hurting our political image thro'out the world and destroying the social fabric of Iraq. Despite lack of democracy, atleast Saddam ensured that Shiites and Sunnis didn't fight and children could go to school, oil was available to the world and he never(ever) harboured Osame and his ilk. So its all a great sham by the US to flex its muscles, and in that endeavor its own borders are being breached, health care costs are rising and gang violence and drug abuse are at an all time high. When will Bush and party learn?? \n\nOkai, point blank answer - the war would be on until the next President is elected. Even then it would never be potrayed as a loss/defeat, it would just be "strategically withdrawing" our troops.

I was fixing a clog at my girlfriends house, and I went on her computer to find good ways to unclog toilets. Lo and behold, an IM was popped up and it had my girlfriend saying to a guy that he was hot. Is this considered cheating/ what should i do? If I talk to her about it I'm afraid she will accuse me of snooping?

Yikes!! She probably will, but it sure seems that your original intentions were good. Shame on her for having that on her computer in the first place!!


Red sox all the way! you guys have so much money and take the fun out of the game look at the royals then look at the yankees you guys just buy a allstar line up and play not that we dont but you take it to a higher level. David ortiz and manny all the way!!!!!! o and to answer you queston we will WIN THE DIVISION and sweep the season series with the yankees.


home and you have a child with him.and he don't call,don't even sleep in the house where he is supposed to be.

girl guaranteed he be out cattin just let him go and believe me from first hand experience it is very hard when you love them but in the long run it is better to cut the losses now.  You can do better without him anyway\nI know cuz I was with  one like that for 3 years and we have a daughter together and the boy was cheating lying drinking, druggin, etc... finally (don't wait like I did) I got tired of tricking myself and letting him control me into thinking nothing was going on and left.  Go with your instincts--that is your inner self talking saying kick him to the curb


What doe Harper Lee want us to learn or take from her book To Kill a Mockingbird?

That reading books makes us much less likely to ask such questions on Yahoo! the day before the answers are due in class.


I'm looking at education quality, resources, and anything available that will enhance my college experience.

Recently all three of the Universities in Arizona have had to choose a mandate (so that they don't have to use scarce state funds in competition with each other).  NAU decided to focus on forestry (big surprise).  Tempe Normal (now referred to as ASU) became "the school for the masses."  And UofA became the institute for higher learning (meaning that it would focus on more difficult fields such as science, engineering, mathematics, medicine...).\n\nUofA has quality instructors in every department and does a lot of high end research (from biotechnology to optics to space science to wildlife).  In fact, NASA has us on speed-dial (the most recent pictures of Mars come through the UofA to be processed).

I say yes, definetely, though his masterpieces are from The Beatles years, so maybe Paul kind of inspired John.

Yes, most definitely. I often wonder what great music would have happened if he wasn't killed.


Why some counties think they are the world's owner?! The United States is only country that has generated and used nuclear weapon against Japan and has generated and tested many kind of these weapons. France, UK, Russia and Israel have  huge amount of nuclear weapons that can destroy earth. They are not in NPT!!! Theay are real threat for people in all of the world.\nIran has done all his nuclear researches and activities under the IAEA inspectors' supervision and want to use this science for peacefull usage, energy, medical, agriculture  and industrial perpose.\nWhy the selfish west countries want the science and modernity for themselves and want to keep other countries in pain?

I wholeheartedly agree with you mate, I live in England and am of English parents. It seems the United States have set themselves up as the nanny of the world despite the fact they are responsible for some of the worst atrocities outside of of the 3rd Reich. Anyone that doesnt agree with their world view is seen as an enemy of america and therefore a terrorist, saying this your President seems very hardline and I can understand the objections to you having nuclear capabilities at this time.

I have to be at work every morning at 2:00am. Everyday on my way to work I get on the freeway. Now the first time this happened I thought nothing of it because I thought the light just went out our something. But then It started happening everyday, Even when im an hour or so late to work. Some of the lights on the freeway just turn off as I drive past them. Its Really Weird and I want to know what the HEll is going on. I mentioned it to a friend a work and he didnt believe me so I picked him up one day and took him to work with me, and it happened, As I drove past some of the lights whith him in the car some of them turned off. I also noticed last night when i came home from the grocery store I approached the welcome gate to my apartments  and the light attached to the building on my right at the time, just cut off. Thats when i said I need to find out what the hell is wrong with me.

You need to adjust your headlights, they are likely pointing too high and you are setting off the light sensors on the light poles that turn the lights on and off.

I have a theory: there are certain chromosomal abnormalities that cause babies to be born with messed up facial features (I think certain trisomies can causes the features I'm thinking of).  If you've ever seen/read about a baby with cyclopia, a typical phenotype is a single eye (or often two eyeballs in on socket) below a protrusion call a probiscus that should have been a nose.  Ever notice that cyclopses are usually shown as having a horn in the middle of their heads?  Well, I think that the idea of the cyclops came from people seeing babies like that (they're generally stillborn, but people would still see their faces), and the horn is based on the probiscus.  What do you think?

I think the horn on the forehead originated from Ray Harryhausen's special effects in the 1958 film "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any depictions of horned Cyclopes, (that's the plural - I checked), from before then. The mythical versions of Cyclopes are usually referred to as giants, so the elephant skull theory would make a lot of sense, but there's no reason why the stories couldn't also have originated from people with cyclopia. It may even explain why the elephant's nasal cavity was assumed to be an eye socket in the first place.\nHowever, it's quite easy to see why people may have come to that conclusion :\nhttp://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~loxias/cyclops02.htm\n\n\nMORE STUFF  \n\nThe cyclops isn't the only mythological creature to have similarities with people with genetic abnormalities. Mermaids for instance :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirenomelia\nQuite a lot of these legendary creatures probably have some basis in fact. Tales of dragons may be based on early discoveries of dinosaur fossils (as well as living reptiles), and unicorns may have been based on travellers' descriptions of a rhinocerous.


I think that looking busy is actually harder work than just doing your job, and the time doesnt half drag. If you're gonna not work then go the whole hog, put your feet on the desk and tell your boss you're having an 8-hour break. Or just go home.


For A Debate Please provide all aspects on you pro or contra arguments with enough support, NO yes or no answers please Thanx!

It depends, but if you break the law than be prepared to pay the penalty.  \n\nSome laws are unconstitutional or immoral and yet get passed anyway.  An example here in the U.S. is the federal funding of abortions. For those who believe that abortion is immoral it is right to withhold the portion of taxes that go to abortion funding in protest.  During the civil rights movement protesters broke segregation laws by drinking from the wrong water fountains, sitting in the wrong area of restaurants.  Many pro-life groups hold peaceful protest in front of abortion clinics in violation of state laws.\n\nThis is not to say however that resorting to violent protest is acceptable.  Protests should not turn into riots such as recently occured in France over the new employment law or the muslim protests over the Danish cartoons of Muhammed.


i am trying to think of something ridiculously demanding when my kids ask me what i want this year...any ideas?

Yes, change places. You want to act like the child for a day or week, have them take your place. Not sure of the ages but assuming they usually have 'demands' on your time,\nso you have demands on their time. Do what they normally do, and they do what you normally do, that might be interesting or 'neat.'


The radius ofa sphere is increasing at a constant rate of .04 centimeters per second. \n\n(The V of a sphere with radius r is V = 4/3pir^3) \n\n\n(a) At the time when the radius of the sphere is 10 centimeters, what is the rate of increase of its volume? \n\n(b) At the time when the volume of the sphere is 36;r cubic centimeters, what is the rate of increase of the area of a cross section through the center of the sphere? \n\n(c) At the time when the volume and the radius of the sphere are increasing at the same numerical rate, what is the radius?

The rate of increase of the volume dV/dt can be solved as dV/dr*dr/dt (chain rule)\n\nYou are given that dr/dt = .04 cm/s and you can derive dV/dr from the volume formula.  The derivative of r^n is n*r^(n-1) so the derivative of r^3 is 3r^2.  The derivative of the volume formula is 4/3*pi*3r^2, or 4pi*r^2.  Therefore the sphere is growing at 4pi*r^2 in volume per radius length.\n\n(a)\nif r = 10cm then the rate of increase of volume, dV/dt = dV/dr * dr/dt = 4*pi*(10cm)^2*(.04cm/s)\nDo the math and you should get an answer in cm³/s\n\n(b)\nGiven V=36, find r.  The area of the cross section = pi*r².  The rate of increase of that area is 2*pi*r*dr/dt.\n\n(c)\nIf dV/dt and dr/dt are the same number then dV/dr=1.  Find r so that dV/dr=1.


I will do exercise weekly 4 days in the evening time at my house. I have no bad habbits like drinking, smoking, sex except tension.\n\n  I am 20 years old.\n  my height is 5.10.  my weight is 60kgs.  my hip size is 28.\n  \n  Even when i am in normal conditon my veins are shown out of my muslces.\n\n  Is this a strength or weakness or normal?

Hi, Firstly sex is not a bad habit, It may help you with your nervous problems, I think you have an excitable/stressed nature,that would account for your height/weight ratio, That appears a bit too small, I think you may have high blood pressure, this would acount for dialiation of your veins, You did not indicate if you are Male or Female, but whatever the case (TOO Thin) Eat more, you should be at least another 12/15 Kgs.  See your Doctor.But don't worry. Are you taking exams?


A prime example is Tourettes syndrome. Why does it make certain people shout cuss words? Why don't people with the disease just shout normal words and phrases? I personally know 2 people who are afflicted with it and all they do is cuss.

The biggest misconception about Tourettes is the Coprolalia (shouting obscenities).  Actually it is the rarest symptom of TS.  VERY FEW people with this disorder ever display this symptom.  So you must have two very rare cases, or someone is pulling your leg.  \n\nPeople with TS will sometimes shout or say a word.  It is not always a cuss word.  Sometimes it is needing to hear the sound of the word, or if it has a hard "c" or "t" sound, there is something in the brain that NEEDS to hear this sound.  That, I believe, is related more to OCD than Tourettes.  It is not uncommon to have Tourettes + ODC or ADHD or both.  \n\nI hope this helps. \n\nFrom the TSA web site:\n\nThe fact is that cursing, uttering obscenities, and ethnic slurs are manifested by fewer than 15% of people with TS. Too often, however, the media seize upon this symptom for its sensational effect. Because milder cases are being diagnosed, the incidence of coprolalia will probably decrease.

A man is heading towards a field.\n\nHe knows when he gets to the field he will die, in fact as soon as he touches it but he cannot stop himself from going.\n\nThere is nothing particularly dangerous about this field, as there are cows are happily chewing grass on this same field and are unaware of this man's impending doom and also unable to stop it.\n\nHow will he die and why can he not stop himself?


Call me crazy, but I've never seen one, and just can't picture where exactly this "extra skin" is???  Can someone please paint me a verbal picture.  I'm just curious.

When it's soft it has the skin all the way down - you can't see the "head".  When it's erect it looks the same as a circumcised one.  \nFYI - Un-circumcised feels WAY better, too!


What sre some methods for traveling back in time the ones I read online were complicated whether yours is complicated or not tell me

We can see backwards in time by looking into the night sky. Light from stars and galaxies takes a physical amount of time to get to us. When we look at the Sun we can only see it as it was 8 minutes ago 'cos that's how long it takes for light from the Sun to reach the Earth. It takes 4.3 years from the nearest star, so we see it as it was 4.3 years ago. It takes 2.5 million years from the nearest galaxy in Andromeda, so we see it as it was 2.5 million years ago. The furthest objects are around 15 billion light years away so when we are observing them we are looking backwards in time 15 billion years this is 10 billion years before the Earth and Sun even existed! We are close to witnessing creation itself. Light travels at 186,262 miles per second in a vacuum or 7 times around the world in a second. Jules.

I'm in a serious relationship with a European immigrant and he's everything I've ever wanted in a bf. But... I'm afraid to think he might be with me so he can marry me and expedite his citizenship. He's here legally with all his papers, but he doesn't give me details when I ask about his status.... What could this mean? Should I investigate him....? Could I?

Just live together and don't get married until he becomes a citizen.  If he really loves you, he will do it.


Does anyone enjoy reading fan fics? If you do, what book/movie are the fanfics you read based on?

I read a few of the Harry Potter fanfics a while back.  Some of them were pretty decent, including this incredibly long one  that must have been a thousand pages or more.\n\nBeyond that, I don't have as much time to read as I used to.

Take him to church. After all, Jesus is why we have easter in the first place!


First of all, do they really think that it will make any difference at all? It won't. In order to actually make a noticible dent in the economy, they would have to hold out a heck of a lot longer than 24 hours...and I just really don't see that happening. Second of all, where do they get off? Nowhere else but in America could someone protest, throw a fit and expect someone to make allowances for the fact that they have, in fact, broken the law. There are legal ways to enter this country, they could have chosen one of them and then there wouldn't be this problem. However, they chose not to obey the laws of this country and, in my opinion, they need to be held accountable for their lawlessness. \n\nIf we allow all these illegal immigrants amnesty, what message does that send to all the immigrants who entered this country legally, who paid their dues and did things according to the rules? Gee, we're sorry we put you through all that because our laws are completely meaningless and we're going to give amnesty to everyone who decided they didn't want to be bothered with the pesky rules? What next, are we going to allow all mass murderers to run free because, hey, if you can break one law, why not all of them. What if all the rapists in every maximum security prison across the country stage a protest demanding their freedom? Why have any rules and laws at all if they can just be arbitrarily changed to exonorate a group of people just because they protest and demand it?

I get what you're saying..I understand that the people coming here illegally are desperate and in dire circumstances, I don't doubt that at all. However, as someone who grew up in dire circumstances myself (yes, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry for weeks on end, to not have heat in the winter and to face the uncertainty of whether or not you're going to have a roof over your head), I still believe that breaking the law is unacceptable. That doesn't mean that I don't understand the motivation behind it, but it is what it is. After all, we have hundreds of thousands of legal American citizens who are homeless, who are hungry, who are in desperate situations and who are crying for an opportunity to support their families. However, should one of these people choose to rob a bank or sell drugs in an attempt to support their family, we don't see protests in the streets to exonorate them of their crimes. We may understand the motivation behind their actions, but the truth is that they've broken the law, regardless of the reasons/circumstances and in this country, there are consequences for breaking the law.  If there aren't, then what's the point of even having a legal system?\n\nOh, and for the participant who said that this is a 'racial' thing...for me, it's not. Come here legally and I don't have a problem with it. Come here from whatever country, make a life for yourself, send your kids to college, make yourself a millionaire, win the lottery, start a fortune 500 company. I. DON'T. CARE. That's the sort of thing that this country was built on. I, myself, have relatives who immigrated to this country legally and who have been very successful in building their lives and their fortunes. Great for them! Certainly there are those who are racist, but don't make this a racial thing, that's the easy cop-out.

I used to be a fan of the NBA in the late 80's into the early 90's.  The Larry Bird/Magic Johnson rival along with Michael Jordan's dominance was a great time for basketball.  Since then it seems as though the game has gotten away from the team concept.\n\nLook at the scores, they isolate one-on-one matchups with the big stars (kobe, iverson, shaq, etc) and NO ONE plays defense.  If they got back to a team game, like the college style, it would be a lot more interesting.  There seems to be no intensity in the game any more.

I think aspartame should be safer to consume, because it is compose the non-calory sugar which is consumed by most of diabetes patients... but i've read that aspartame causes diabetes too, so which is more dangerous: sugar or aspartame? And why?

Aspartame is not dangerous. Splenda tastes better, though.


like they said...your school office can give you one. but i know in california you have to be at least 15. try babysitting, or having a car wash for extra money :) good luck


My husband is deployed to Afghanistan and we usually talk on a daily basis because he works 12-14 hours in an office he usually has time to call me.  However the last few days have been a little different--as he is starting to be more vulgar about sexuality, making comments about his man hood, ect.  He never use to do this--his conversations are kind of distant and distracted a little.  Today he hasn't called or emailed me to say he was too tired to call...which is totally out of character for him.  Should I be worried?  Do they find ways to cheat when they work long hours and sleep in different places with several other girls or guys?

Gosh.. after reading the other answers you got to this question I bet you are having a heartattack!!\n\nCheating while deployed to a imminent danger areais not a common thing by any means.  The other stuff you're talking about is.\n\nWhen you get that many guys together without the ability to.... shall we say releive themselves sexually..... grapic conversation is pretty normal.  They sit around and talk about their gals and what they are going to do to them.  Even if your guy isn't the one doing the talking listening to it can be arousing for him.  \n\nThere's also the issue that he's under a lot of stress and men have a tendancy to to vent stress through sexual agression.\n\nThe distance in his voice is most likely do to his enviroment.  Your husband is dealing with some pretty tough stuff.  He doesn't want to tell you all about it because he doesn't want you to worry or be afraid for him any more than you already are.  There's also the fact that seperations are hard on our Guys too.  He may be trying to deal with his own feelings by walling them off.\n\nRemember that you have a tough job in all of this too. Be supportive and be brave.  Think the absolute best until you have a concrete reason to think otherwise.  This is so hard on military families..... you don't need any imagined problems to cope with.\n\nIf you need more advice on deployemts try contacting your services branch of support, FRG, Family Center, whatever.  The can actually give you some great tips on dealing with all of this.  From miliary wife to military wife........ just take a deep breath.  He has a lot more on his mind than you realize.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless.
