I need some of the most important information and fast facts on chian and the history and culture of it.

China (listen (help·info); Traditional Chinese: 中國; Simplified Chinese: 中国; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōngguó; Wade-Giles: Chung-kuo; Tongyong Pinyin: Jhōngguó) is a geographical region in East Asia and Central Asia. With over one-fifth of the world's population, the majority of China exists today as a state known as the People's Republic of China, but it also refers to a long-standing civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 4,000 years.\n\nWith one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and the world's longest continuously used written language system, China's history has been largely characterized by repeated divisions and reunifications amid alternating periods of peace and war, and violent imperial dynastic change. The country's territorial extent expanded outwards from a core area in the North China Plain, and varied according to its changing fortunes to include multiple regions of East, Northeast, and Central Asia. (The term "China proper" is used by some observers and historians to describe the core territory historically home to the majority Han Chinese, as opposed to lands associated later with China such as what is now Xinjiang.) For centuries, Imperial China was also one of the world's most technologically advanced civilizations, and East Asia's dominant cultural influence, with an impact lasting to the present day.\n\nBy the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, China's political, economic, and military influence declined relative to the growing regional power of Japan and the influence of Western powers. The imperial system in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) under Sun Yat-sen in 1912; however, the next four decades of ROC rule were marred by warlord control, the Second Sino-Japanese War during which the Empire of Japan occupied large parts of China, and the Chinese Civil War which pitted Chinese Nationalists against the Communist forces.\n\nAfter its victory in the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China under Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the Nationalists to retreat and relocate the ROC government to the island of Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. Since then, the ROC has maintained administrative control over Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, several islands off the coast of Fujian province including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, and some islands in the South China Sea.\n\nHome to one of the world's oldest and most complex civilizations, China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, and political advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such universally significant contributions as Confucianism. Credited with shaping much of Chinese thought, Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial China's history, and mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into the imperial bureaucracy.\n\nWith the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, however, non-Chinese systems of social and political organization gained adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers totally rejected China's cultural legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western cultures. In essence, the history of 20th Century China is one of experimentation to find a new system of social, political, and economic organization that would allow for the reintegration of the nation in the wake of dynastic collapse.\n\nChinese art has varied throughout its ancient history, divided into periods by the ruling dynasties of China and changing technology, as well as influenced by great philosophers, teachers and religion. Early forms of art in China were made from potte


For Europe:\n\nThe Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand (not the Band) assasination which ultimately sparked the war between the nations in the Balkans, (Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia etc)...and Austria. Then, the maticulous alliance ladder fell down, Germany who was friends with Austria declared war on Russia who was freinds with Serbia who was a close friend of another nation, then France declared war on Germany to keep in check their booming armed forces, which when invaded drew Britain and then the poles into the war...throw in Japan too.\n\n(FOR EUROPE IT WAS ALLIANCES)\n\nFor the US however, it was mainly triggered by the Zimmerman Telegram to the Mexican government; the British MI detected the telegram that was intended to provoke Mexico to invade the US in turn to keep the US out of Europe's war, and keep Germany safe from having a harder war to fight on the Western Front. Also, we can't leave out the excessive U-boat sinkings that the Germans committed against US and British merchant ships, the Lusitania carrying some odd number of civillians, it was a bloody mess. Wilson didn't want to go to war, nor did the nation, but in the end, the man who won reelection on the slogan "He kept us out of war," led the nation to its first World War...The Great War to end all wars.


But every description of God and all of Gods words come from the hands or mouth of man, does that not make God himself a graven image?  \n\nWhen you worship Jesus, you have an image of Jesus created by another man in your head (the white guy with long brown hair from the paintings and sculptures).  Sounds like graven image worship to me.

You are absolutely right! We need to get away from that.  We do it as a habit or what we were taught.  No one knows what God looks like so we should not worship statues or pictures that proclaim to be Him.  We should only worship him and not pics.


For example, extreme rigt-wing evangelical's breaking off. Answer as you wish. Thx. Personal theories encouraged.

Frankly, I wish that they would. Those bible thumping manic retards make us all look like a bunch of ignorant megalomaniacs. I think of myself as a conservative, and I believe in God, but I honestly don't care if other people don't. \n\nIn fact, I just had to send a couple packing off my front porch last night. Nothing like a 78 lb Rotty throwing himself against the screen door to discourage visitors. Heh heh heh.\n\nAnyway, I'd be glad to see the back end of those morons as they break off to form their own cult, pardon me, party- because it sucks that everyone associates those attention seeking lowlifes to all Republicans.

She was wonderful this morn!...I used to dislike her soooo much..now she has changed my mind! STICK WITH IT HILLARY I SAY...what a great standpoint...pls!  I'll Stand with you if this is what you believe the same as I...do it!!

Hillary is nothing more than a pawn for the democrats. Used to win the hearts of feminists. She is not strong, not tough, just a pawn of the men using her.


I know hundreds of students who graduated and got jobs in US firms, winning positions over "true" Americans thanks to their superior skills. Does this kind of practice pose a threat to American's way of life???

No problem at all. Legal immigrants are always welcome to be part of our society. It's those illegal ones who came here unlawfully sucking off our welfare money, tax money and benefits. And those who came here to start gang activities, commit heinous crimes that need to be dealt with accordingly.


i have glasses for 7 years.my number is -1.00 both eyes.\n now i want 2 get rid of them.is the laser technique safe as i had read it somewhere that it has aftereffects and cause blindess in old age.

I wore contact lenses for 31 1/2 years and tri-focal glasses for 10 years.  My vision was 20/1000!!!!! I had lasik surgery last September and found it to be a miracle!!!! My vision is 20/25 and I can read things I was not able to read since I was a small child!  There are NO aftereffects whatsoever.  This procedure does not last a lifetime, and will necessitate further procedures (depending on the original-blade or bladeless surgery) and maybe that is where the silliness of causing blindness in old age comes from.  I would SERIOUSLY consider a consultation.  They are usually free and will answer all of the questions YOU have.  In the long run, it is a small price to pay for sight!


has a prostrate exam every month do you think he is gay ?

Corruption will get you every time!  It rots the fabric of the nation from within.\n\nTerrorism will sometimes spill blood.  That's what the red in Old Glory stands for:  The blood that has been shed and the blood yet to be shed in defense of our way of life.\n\nOddly, terrorism gets a lot of publicity yet is still a very MINOR risk for most Americans.  Every year, 15 times the number of people who died on 9/11 die on our roads and highways.  Half of them are at the hands of drunk drivers.  And we repeat this EVERY YEAR!  We'd need to repeat 9/11 every 24 days to equal out the toll, yet nobody seems to notice that sad fact.\n\nWe make all this noise about terrorism and are ready to give up our freedom for an infinitesimal improvement in security, yet barely notice the slaughter on our streets that we can actually do something about!  Go figure!


What is the best way to deal with illegal immigrants? Should we let them stay or deport them? Is the fence on the Mexico border the answer?

I think the American public at the end of the day is not going to want to split up nuclear families, however resentful they might be of 'being used'.  I would secure the borders. The 'fence' is actually a series of fences in particular areas where crossing is most prevalent, as well as a 'virtual fence' of sensors etc. in other areas.  I think it is part of the answer.  Greater technology, troops and training for border patrol is another part of the answer. Unmanned drone airplanes, already used on a few parts of the border, is another. Mandatory employer screening of employees, 'unforgable' documents and better database technology and support is another tool we need to use.  \n\nI think some will still get in but it will no longer be in anything like the same volume.  I think we need this for national security post 9/11.\n\nThen I think we will identify screened illegal immigrants who have been here a while (i.e. have not just come across the border while this discussion was going on, in hopes of getting the new amnesty).  They should not have crimes against them other than illegal border crossing, etc.  They should be given the 'path to earned citizenship'.  I think this needs to include learning English.  The country needs a common language BECAUSE we are all immigrants, with many, many cultures and original languages, and otherwise our society splinters rather than 'melting'.\n\nMy questions are on the additional guest worker program which is planned to be an increase in legal immigration above what we have now.  The idea is that this would actually be a decrease in immigration because border security would be in place so legal immigration would be the way people would go. But how do we enforce their not 'overstaying'?  If the guest worker program is put in place before the border is actually secure it will just be on top of rather than instead of illegal immigration.  Will we wait to see if the border is secure before implementing it?  Will employer sponsors pay health benefits and impact fees to offset impact to schools and social services?\n\nI am not sure how much of that has been thought through.


Today's "Iran" was called "Persia" for centuries...\nWhy is it renamed to Iran?\nHow do you feel about the new and old names?

Iran is the ancient name of the country; the Aryan tribes who formed the country in the Achaemenid era united the plateau in that region and called the country Iran (Aryanam in ancient texts), meaning "the land of Aryans".\n\nThe name Persia was introduced much later (around 600 BC) and it derives from the ancient Greek name (Persis) for Iran's maritime province called Fars/Pars. Based on this, other European nations termed the area Persia.\n\nOn March 21, 1935 Iran formally asked the international community to call the country by its native name. \n\nIn 1959, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, before his removal from power announced that both Persia and Iran can be used interchangeably.


Just curious to see how many people out there have been married before and if this will affect if you will remarry again or do you think you will stay single?

By nature, a lot of men are hunters and have the need for conquest.  Once they achieve the goal, whether it be to mate or marry, then something clicks in their head and it might be time to find the next challenge.  This trait is problematic in a marriage.  Some times we think that because we take the vow, that the deal is done, then don't need to try as much and take the relationship for granted.\n\nMarried for 10 years, then divorced for 5.  I find that sharing my freedom and independence with a special woman allows the relationship to remain fresh and alive.  I won't say never, but I'm liking being without the assumed obligations that go with marriage.  If I'm with someone, I enjoy making that choice more than once and if we find that its just not working for us any longer, it's simpler to part ways.  \n\nI say enjoy the gifts life has to offer and although it may be remote, if one day you happen across a keeper, then just don't close your mind to the possibility.  I certainly won't rush into anything and would live with someone for a good couple of years proir.  Let's see what we're like when all the pretending is over and learn if true compatibility exists.  Make sense?


Doctor? She experience short of breath, crying, saying horrible words that are scary ... almost like another person, then every few moments... I need my mom, where is my mom Etc...\nIs this chemical imbalance that could be treated or just crazy?

Jealousy (in my opinion) is a sign of self insecurities. I would be concerned if it shows signs of becoming violent or controlling.\n\nIf you love her you will work her through this and find why she feels she has this jealousy otherwise, I'd suggest advising help and getting out of the situation.\n\nBased on what you said it almost sounds like bi-polar or multiple personalities being triggered by emotional stress. (Wild guess not meant to diagnose just give you an idea of what you could look up to see descriptions of)


My landlord sold the house i live in to a new landlord which wasnt a problem but now i have been told that the original owner didnt pass my deposit over to the new landlord and theres nothing i can do! Its not just me he sold 40 houses and took 40 tennants deposits! i spoke to his solictor but he keeps fobbing me off. Can any1 advise me of what to do next?

Any landlord cuaght misappropriating security deposits can be taken to court and fined up to triple the security deposit.\nAbsolutely take him to court, as should the new owner!!\nHopefully, your former landlord gave you a recepit for your deposit (that's the law too) so you have proof that you gave it to him, it also has to list where it's being held in escrow and when he received it.\nThat really bites!!\nGood Luck.

Can someone please tell me why Senator Clinton, Senator Kerry and Senator Kennedy (all democrats) voted AGAINST English being the national language of the United States?  Yes, there were a few others, but these are the most notables...

Please cite the bill and your sources, as a search of the Library of Congress legislative record shows NO such legislation introduced nor vote taken.\n\nThere was a measure introduced in the HOUSE in 2005 (109th CONGRESS, 1st Session, H. R. 997).  The only SENATE action was May 1, 2006 (109th CONGRESS, 2d Session, S. RES. 458), which did NOT call for English to be the national language, but rather for the Star-Spangled Banner to be recited or written only in English.  Anyone voting against THIS measure would do so because it's an obvious violation of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.\n\nI support making English the official language, but there's no way to compel people to sing a song only in English.  That's about as fascist or communist as it gets.  Besides, it's pretty damn cool that there are non-English speakers who want to sing OUR anthem at all.  I hope they learn it in English, but if they are praising OUR country, it's all good.\n\n[ADDED] Thanks for following up with your citation.  The amendment you mention calls for English to be the official language.  I don't know, but my guess is that the Senators you mention voted for the other amendment about language, introduced 5/18 by Salazar of Colorado and cosponsored by Kennedy, among others.  The amendment, 4073, declares English to be the common and unifying language of the United States.  Details:\n\nS.AMDT.4073 \nAmends: S.2611 \nSponsor: Sen Salazar, Ken [CO] (submitted 5/18/2006) (proposed 5/18/2006) \nAMENDMENT PURPOSE:\nTo declare that English is the common and unifying language of the United States, and to preserve and enhance the role of the English language. \n\n---\nYou should recognize that everyone's singing the same tune about English - it's an issue of degree.  Note that BOTH amendments passed.  You should also recognize that both amendments are tied to the same bill, S. 2611, concerning immigration reform.


Hi!  I am taking a 4 week class at a local university and it is moving very fast.  We have to do a 25-30 minute presentation on a topic that she gave us, mine is child abuse and neglect.  Does anyone know of any good sites that kind of tell you step by step what kinds of things I should do?  I've only written one research paper and that was under the supervision of a strict teacher guiding me all the way.  PLEASE HELP!

I would keep an annotated bibliography. For each source,  list all the information you need to cite it and a summary of the information you found there.\n\nDo some digging around in your sources, then come up with a research question, like, "What is the responsibility of outsiders to intervene in child abuse?" It may be OK if you raise more questions than you can answer in your presentation. That makes people think. \n\nYou may even have spaces in your presentation for members of your audience to discuss specific questions or issues with each other for a minute or two. You can walk around the room catching bits and pieces of the discussions, and ask people to share interesting bits with the whole class. \n\nThere is sound educational theory to back up this technique. You can't just spoon feed information to people, they have to make a place for it in what they already know. Getting them to talk with each other about a discussion question early on activates their prior knowledge and gets them engaged, invested in the topic.\n\nSince this is a presentation instead of a research paper, I would go heavy on the graphics: photographs, charts, graphs, maps if they're applicable. Talk to your instructor about the technology available. Will you be able to give a PowerPoint presentation, or will there be a overhead projector you can use to show transparencies? How comfortable are you with making those?\n\nYou should think about using audio, too. Many of the topical stories on NPR programs like Morning Edition are available online and can be played with a Real Player that may already be on the computer or can be downloaded for free. \n\nThe one linked below could be very powerful because it contains actual audio of physical abuse, as well as discussion of how that tape should be responsibly used.\n\nIf there are more specific topics you are researching (like "educational neglect"), you can type them into the search box at the top of that webpage and see what you get. \n\nGood luck! I betcha get an A!


i need to know what systems of the body (nervous, skeletal, muscular systems) are in volved in Rosacea...if u dont no wat this disease is leave this quesitno alone... i also need to know what organs/glands are involved in the disease...

Causes\nThe precise pathogenesis of rosacea still remains unknown, but most experts believe that rosacea is a disorder where the blood vessels become damaged when repeatedly dilated by stimuli. The damage causes the vessels to dilate too easily and stay dilated for longer periods of time or remain permanently dilated, resulting in flushing and redness. Immune cells and inflammatory mediators can leak from the microvascular bed causing inflammatory pustules and papules, especially with those with papulopustular rosacea.\n\nRosacea has a hereditary component and those that are fair-skinned of European or Celtic ancestry have a higher genetic predisposition to developing it. Women are more commonly affected but when men develop rosacea it tends to be more severe. People of all ages can get rosacea but there is a higher instance in the 30-50 age group. The first signs of rosacea are said to be persisting redness due to exercise, changes in temperature, and cleansing.\n\nTriggers that cause episodes of flushing and blushing play a part in the development of rosacea. Exposure to temperature extremes can cause the face to become flushed as well as strenuous exercise, heat from sunlight, severe sunburn, stress, cold wind, moving to a warm or hot environment from a cold one such as heated shops and offices during the winter. There are also some foods and drinks that can trigger flushing, these include alcohol, foods high in histamine and spicy food.\n\nCertain medications and topical irritants can quickly progress rosacea. If redness persists after using a treatment then it should be stopped immediately. Some acne and wrinkle treatments that have been reported to cause rosacea include microdermabrasion, chemical peels, high dosages of isotretinoin, benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin. Steroid induced rosacea is the term given to rosacea caused by the use of topical or nasal steroids. These steroids are often prescribed for seborrheic dermatitis. Dosage should be slowly decreased and not immediately stopped to avoid a flare up.\n\nStudies of rosacea and demodex mites have revealed that some people with rosacea have increased numbers of the mite, especially those with steroid induced rosacea. When large numbers are present they may play a role along with other triggers.


Where can I get free hiking guides for the state of Nebraska?

Three for sure:\n\n(1)  Online websites.   "Google" your hiking area, or simply type : "hiking guides Nebraska".   Click onto the site, and then print out the trails which interest you.\n\n(2)  If you know of the trail you want to hike on, and if they're maintained by the federal or state government, call the ranger station, and request a free trail guide.  They will be glad to send one out, but give 'em 1-2 weeks.\n\n(3)  Go to your local library, and borrow the book.  Take good care of it, and bring it on your hike.


What do you mean by crabs? is it sexually transmitted? if it is oh no.. does it mean that I have crabs too? What can I do? What is the cure then? HELP ME! I don't wanna be sex deprived just because of crabs.

It is an STD.  Crabs are a louse that can be found on any hairy part of your body.  You get them through intimate contact with someone who has crabs.\n\nThey are very easy to get rid of.  Go to the drug or grocery store and buy any shampoo that treats head lice.  Put the shampoo on any hairy parts, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse it off in the shower.  The shampoo will come with a fine tooth comb.  Use it.\n\nYou'll have to repeat the process in 7 - 10 days.  After that you should be fine.  You may itch for a couple of weeks after.\n\nWash your clothes, sheets & towels in hot water & put them in the dryer on high for 20 minutes.  You'll be fine.\n\nYou can usually see crabs - they're about the size of a pin head & are grey or rust colored.\n\nThey don't get on pets, toilet seats or travel through your clothes.


physically or emotionally. anything goes.

I go to a hypno-psychotherapist. It helps to have someone to talk to without being judged and getting help in relaxing. Then I de-stress through a hobby, sewing. When I am just about to explode, I drop everything and sit on my sewing chair and turn on the machine. Think also of If they are close by maybe you can call them for coffee or something.


Can you tell me if you like it, and if you can cn you reference some cool sites?


I have this assignment, its part of my project work...I am supposed to convince my lecturers if accounting is an art or science giving reasons ...

Accounting is an art because it depends on TECHNIQUE, whereas a science depends on application of the scientific method (see http://teacher.pas.rochester.edu/phy_labs/AppendixE/AppendixE.html ).\n\nThe central element of accounting (as distinguished from bookkeeping and checkbook entries) is the use of double-entry bookkeeping, the entry of an item twice, once as a debit and once as a credit, to a category of asset, liability, equity, revenue or expense.\n\nDouble entry bookkeeping was invented by an Italian monk, Luca Pacioli (http://acct.tamu.edu/smith/ethics/pacioli.htm ).  But nowhere has it been stated WHY the amount should be entered twice as a balance of left hand side ("debit") and right hand side ("credit") entries.  The basic reason for the double entry principle remains a mystery to this day.\n\nScience doesn't work like that!  A hypothesis is proven or it fails, it doesn't work for an unexplainable reason.\n\nAccounting is a series of classification and bookkeeping techniques which work although they defy explanation.  The basis isn't the scientific method but workable technique.  And the Greek word for art is "techne."\n\nTo convince your lecturers,\n\n--study that link on the scientific method until you can explain it without reference to notes\n\n--study that link on Pacioli until you can rattle off his accomplishments\n\n--consider buying the laminated cram sheet on bookkeeping so you can discuss that and use examples of entries and whey they are "wrong" unless the left side equals the right side.\n\nBut the heart of the argument is that accounting is based on workable TECHNIQUE rather than on the scientific method.\n\nPS: Yes, I'm a CPA.


OK, if you have been in a long relationship for a while, say over 2 years, and the girl decides to break it all off, how long does it take for you to get over it?.  The only reason why I ask, is that the guys I seem to meet are in this exact situation and they are still trying to pick up the pieces after 6 months down the line and are not looking for anything long term.  I'm not heartless or anything, I know what its like to be dumped on, but we all have to get on with life and move on otherwise we don't get anywhere.  Honest answer would be appreciated please.

It does take a while for men to get up and running again, and 6 months are not unusual.\nI suppose men are just that much more attachable and have a hard time letting go of things, I've seen cases where a simple crush gone bad had them down for several months...Just give us some time, thats all we ask ;)

Ten couples (husband and wife) are present at a meeting where a committee of 3 will be chosen. How many ways can this be done so that:\n\n(a) the committee contains one couple?\n(b) the committee contains no couples?

(a) There are 10 ways to select one couple.  After you select a couple, there are 18 people left to choose from.  So their are 10*18=180 ways.\n\n(b) Pick the first person from any one of 20 people.  To select the second person, you can pick from 18 others (because you can't select the first person's partner).  To pick the third person, you can pick from 16 others (because you can't select the first person or the second person's partner).\n20*18*16=5760.  Since we are selecting a committee, the order does not matter (it doesn't matter who is the "first", "second", and "third").  Since there are 6 ways of ordering a 3-person committee, there are 5760/6=960 ways.

I would like to promote my own seminar/workshop business mostly relating to self-improvement.  I have zero dollars to invest and no credit.  I've done my homework and I know how to market this business but I need funds to get started.  I've been sucessful in managing people and project but some poor life choices have put me in a position where I'm currently underpaid and in debt.  It seems impossible to get my business started without financial help - at least $10k to start.  Any advice, suggestions are welcome.  I believe that in order to be successful one must really come to a decision about what they really want to do....I've made my choice and I am ready to begin......how to I fund my start-up?

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


Comes into my work for no reason, phones me at work to ask me questions about things i dont know, when he's the cop. Text messages me, sweet things, like the time i was over at his house, i left early cause i had to work in the morning, he said to bad you weren't here to cuddle with.  I like him so much, em i on the right road to a mate or a friend?

The Offspring ROCKS!!! Dexter Holland Is HOT!!

They're my favorite band!!!!!!! I especially like their old stuff but all of it is FANTASTIC!


Who do you think would survive one? Me? I think Val and Earl from TREMORS could handle it.

First things first, you have to know your enemy. Zombies come in two flavors: fast and slow. Fast are definitely cool, but you'll need more than a baseball bat and a pair of running sneakers to survive that zombie attack. Slow zombies - well why the heck would anyone die from a slow zombie? If you can't get away from a slow zombie, you earned dismemberment. \n\nLet's suppose that you made it through the first 10 minutes of the zombie-fest, and while most of your town are looking for live flesh to feast on, you're wondering how to hot-wire a car and get out of town. You need a plan of action... \n\nPreparation \n\nI'm assuming the reader isn't currently experiencing a zombie outbreak. If you are, skip down to the next section. \n\nPreparing now for zombiedom is a good idea. Remember what the TV preacher said, "When hell is full, the dead will walk the earth." So it's bound to happen sooner or later. Since it would look wierd if you started bricking up your windows and stockpiling rifles, you have to be smart about this. \n\nFirst, get to know the guy in town who bought a pallet of Spam to survive Y2K. He probably still has a ton of that stuff around, and knows all the good hiding places. \n\nNext, scout out all the big box retailers that carry ammo and food. Not too many eh? Tough luck, blue-stater. Someplace like WalMart is ideal, especially with the Garden Center for seed and stuff for longterm survival. A big bonus would be a nearby Home Depot or some such place so you can get plenty of lumber and quick-mix concrete for fortification. \n\nWhile you're preparing, always keep in mind locations where people congregate - you're likely to find lots of zombies there when things turn ugly. Highways, malls, and schools are especially bad. You also might want to mention to your friends and family in passing how well your hiding place could be defended, etc. That way, when the zombies come, they'll remember you said that and come help you. I don't recommend telling them you're preparing for a zombie invasion. \n\nFirst, the Fun Stuff \n\nAfter your initial panic, it's important to remember that a significant component of your surivival is the demise of the ghouls trying to get your tasty brains. Despite some reports to the contrary, the only way to permanently un-animate a zombie is to destroy its brain. This isn't rocket science (although that would be a cool way to do it). A gunshot to the head is the most direct way to disable a zombie, but not the only way. Decapitation also works, although the head will probably still function so don't let it bite you. If you survive long enough, and society collapses along with any hope of rescue, you'll need to develop some means of skull penetration that doesn't involve guns - a professional bowhunting setup works if you can get it. You might be squeamish at first, taking out your neighbors; with time this will pass, you might even adopt a gleeful hangman's sense of humor in your executions.\n\nRun or Hide \n\nThis is a no-brainer. You gotta hole up somewhere eventually, but pick carefully. Let's say that the outbreak is localized to your city, but you know that the neighboring town is zombie-free. Flee to the neighboring town. I know this sounds obvious, but don't sit around waiting for grandma to bite you. Get to the safe town, find a gun store, and join the Minuteman Militia. \n\nBut that isn't much fun, so let's think about what you'd do if the whole country is overrun. Since you already did your prep work, make a bee line for the WalMart you picked out earlier. Hot Tip: Pick a new WalMart if you can. Zombies tend try to do the things they were doing when they were alive, so they're gonna head to the mall, or WalMart, or school... you get the idea. And since we're on the subject, malls are a bad place to hole up in. Too many entrances, and not enough goodies for long term survival.


pls sugggest any exercise. or any method.

Cyropracters are good for straightnening boies. You have to first access the cause of why your neck is bent? It normally works like a chain, so it could be your hamstrings, pulling your back, pulling your shoulders pulling your neck. General streching of the thights, bum, back, shouloders and neck should loosen everything up. Dont bounce when you strech though. Heidi


When someone swears about the people i care for, or when someone picks on kids i just get way too angry...i usually end up trashing their vehicle, or breaking their bones and stuff.....what can i do besides take anger management classes\n\nP.S.-i get angry with the wrong kind..

Go to a friend (I can think of one right now) and let your steam out at that person.  That will help you straighten things out in your head and prevent you from unleashing yourself in such a violent manner.  Personally I think what you are doing is better than bottling it up inside; for then that could lead to hidden rage and then finally you could snap and just kill someone or something! Still though I highly hope you take my advice, it doesn't even have to be to the person I'm thinking of.  Just know that the person will not judge you and will give you his/ her input.  Don't worry it isn't a counselor, doesn't even want to have that as a career option.  That person just wants you to be happy.  There is no hidden agenda. Don't all friends want their special friend to be happy?


I see all these huge buildings going up in town. Every time I see one I think, hmmm... isn't a church's goal the same as any other business? Increase your customer base so you can expand and increase your customer base even more? Is their mission any more noble than say a pharmacy (who sells drugs to save people's lives and make them happier)?

Separation of church and state.  In England, the ruling monarch is also the head of the Church of England.  Sometimes different religions fall in or out of fashion, and this meant that it could suddenly be a crime to belong to a particular religion.  Throughout European history, many countries had official religions that were either Catholic or Protestant (non-Catholic), which was really a problem for the Jews who until the creation of Isreal, never had a place where they could go and not have to worry about being outlawed at some point.  If you are going to be Protestant, it's also helpful if your particular brand of religion look and sound like all the others, which became a problem for the Quakers who didn't have services and churches that looked like all the other non-Catholic types.  It was assumed that since the business of churches is the business of salvation, by not taxing the churches, you could help ensure religious freedom because you couldn't shut them through economics.  The Church of Scientology had a problem because they didn't sound or look like any type of previous notion of a religion, yet they claimed to be a church and wanted the same tax exemptions that other religions enjoyed.

I would like personal accounts...not medical answers please.

The best method is echocardiography. Also, one can try MRI and CT scans. Also, improvement in general outlook (exercise tolerance), disappearance (not changing nature) of heart murmurs, which are heard through the stethoscope, is an important indicator. Negative blood culture (disappearance of bacteria from blood) may not be the most reliable indicator if one is on antibiotics. Take care.


I bought the photo frame at the discount store and couldn't get the price tag marks off the glass.

Even through they R here illegal! Do U think its Fair to the people who pay taxes.

If they're illegal, they have no right to be waving the American Flag when protesting the consequences of their illegal actions.  If they're legal immigrants, they have as much right to wave the flag as I do, and my ancestors came to America in the late 1600's. (We missed the Mayflower---lol)


WE NEED ANSWERS FROM THOSE WITH NO MEDICAL INSURANCE TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES.IF YOU WERE TURN DOWN BECAUSE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS.ETC

I have medical health and dental insurance now but not always. I think that I get better treatment and have more options available to me by having insurance. I also think that it depends on how good your insurance is too. If you have crappy health insurance that doesn't cover much then you may as well not have insurance at all. It is a big game with the providers and they are all in it for the money. Some insurance companies bargain with health care facilities and will only pay a certain amount where as some insurance will cover at 100%. Which person do you think they'll kick out of the hospital faster? The one that either can't afford it or they are making little money OR the one that they are getting their whole costs paid?\nSad but true. Scandalous actually but this has been an issue for years. The cost of insurance keeps rising because people that don't have insurance usually don't pay their bills or can't pay them in a timely manner so the person who can afford insurance ends up paying for it with higher premiums or deductibles,etc...


I've noticed lots of questions about India on Yahoo Answers. Namaste! Nanakam! Sunchhen!

Me too. And where are you from? \n1998 is a long time back, time for another visit maybe. :-)


How about all of this 'organ stealing' stuff, and cadavar theft?\nThere are too many 'good' reasons not to do it..I just think they should pay you, in advance, for the organ you will donate when you pass on. Seems logical and a good way to keep the organs coming...then again, if you paid someone for a liver and they became an alcoholic....


...also imply that everyone else that is not 'colored' as the pure, and fundamental complexion?\nWith everything else just siting on top of it? \nWhat are your thoughts?

That is what it implies to me.\nI never refer to people by their complexion unless I'm at a loss, and then I use light complected, medium complected or dark complected. Never colored or black or even African American. They are American. I am American. I am not pale or Irish/German American and would hate to be categorized like that. I feel using the word "complected" refers solely to the fact that people have different skin tones, rather than being an ethnic or racial term.


I need to lose about 15 lbs in 10 days. I know it is unhealthy, and i know most of you will say i cant do it..but i know i can. Im determined. Its not for vanity, its for health issues. PLEASE...be serious...i am exercising.

I'm not sure what kind of health reasons would necessitate 15 lbs--that's not a lot of weight.  115 I could see being a medical emergency but 15???  Excuse me if I'm skeptical.\n\n\nIf you TRULY have a medical emergency, talk to your doctor.  The only way I can imagine you losing 15 lbs in 10 days is through lipo or similar.


am having sex with a good friend who i know for along time is the wrong are right

Although it is rather common having sex among friends in this era, do not ever assume that because this guy has a sexual relationship with you that he will end up having intimate feelings for you. It is interesting how you think that he is "a good friend," when in reality, this guy might not have concern about you as a person, other than just a friend, or how his behavior is going to affect you later.\n\nYou have to be able to involve yourself in a real relationship with someone who is actually to have true feelings for you, to see you as someone to spend the rest of his life with. This is not a good situation for you and it certainly will not turn out the way you would want if you had sex with your so-called good friend.\n\nThe only way to see in this situation is your friend gets in for the sake of having sex with you, and chances are never become emotionally involved. You can have fun for a while, but the novelty of having a "sexual buddy" starts to wear thin. You may begin to get upset after you and he get physical, because he may not be able to give you the emotional part of sex that you deserve. \n\nI would suggest to hold on to your urge of having sex with your friend, rather than heading for an unknown disaster in the future. You should cherish your friendship and not salvage it for sex.

My husband and I dont have any kids, we are always looking for other couples to hang out with and be friends with that also do not have children. But we seem to be the only married people who dont have and dont really want children. It is just where we live or are we truely alone in this?

i have a friend who is buddhist and i am trying to understand it all.  I have not asked her since i am not sure if it would be respectful too.  just want to know what you all can offer.

Buddhism is a way of life that was passed down in a teacher-student relationship, unlike most religion in the west which is God -  man.  Since religion is define as worship to a God, Buddhism can not really be label as a religion since its not about worship detities; its a teaching about life, universe and the path to enlightenment.\n\nBuddhism in a nutshell is the search of understand yourself and its surrounding; Buddhist believe that man was pure in heart but for various reason we were polluted and tainted by desires and sin.\n\nSo the goal of Buddhism is to purify your soul/mind and through various methods to revert back to our original state of being.\n\nBuddhist follow the teaching of Buddha, a man that exist in India around 500 B.C.  He was born a prince but he gave everything away to pursuit the path of enlightenment. He ultimately achieved its goal and spend all his time teaching / sharing his knowledge to his students and people.\n\nBuddhism use different method to achieve its goal,hence you see different practice method of Buddhism: Zen, pure-land, Tibetan and many others.\n\nThere is no disrespect to try to understand something and ask question, I'm sure your friend would be happy to answer any question you may have.\n\nThis is just a very brief outline of Buddhism. If you are interested, there is an non-profit organization that promotes Buddhism in the U.S.  They have books and videos for free distribution.  \n\nYou can write or call them and they can send you books free of charge too.  Their website is http://www.amtb-usa.org


my son was diagnosed with aspergers 5 years ago, but I want to move my family out of the urban areas.  He has a diagnosis of Autism on his phycological assessment.

First of all, ignore the post above. Chelation and oxygenation are for recent damage, usually caused by direct physical injury, and has only minor impact on recent biochemical injury... and note the word "recent." It has NOT been shown effective on Autism, and might do your son more harm than good. Even if it did help older injuries, the poster assumes your son's Autism was triggered by immunization. One cannot just assume that... While the incidence of Autism increased because those with the predisposition to have it were more frequently triggered by the mercury in the immunizations, Autism has been around since the beginning of time.\n\nIt is very difficult to ensure specialized care for any major disorder in rural areas. You may need to visit urban areas regularly in order to find the best care, especially medical, for your son.  I would like to suggest the following to help you get started. It is also important, once you get there, to find other parents dealing with Autism in their children, and learn from those already there.\n\nhttp://www.bbbautism.com/canada_contents.htm\nhttp://www.tvcc.on.ca/gateway.php?id=65&cid=4\nhttp://www.autismsociety.on.ca/\nhttp://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/11/15/autism_lawsuit041115.html\nhttp://www.children.gov.on.ca/CS/en/newsRoom/newsReleases/050404.htm


How many joules would it take to raise  1 liter of water from 25 to 150 degrees C? (125 degrees rise in temp.). could anyone give me the actual formula, as well as the results?

Formula:  J = K*m*(T2-T1)\n\nSince both K & m are 1 for your problem, J = 125 Joules\n\nK is the specific heat defined as 1 for water.  Varies with other materials.  Also this formula is not strictly true for 1 liter unless you assume the 1 liter weighs 1 kg.  Liters are volume and the formula is for mass.

Could not be angels or demons because they are pure spirit and have no physical bodies. Even though some angels are given masculine names, they don't have a gender. So a possibility is that it could be referring to the offspring of Seth.

In much of the news of Sports.\nIf so, how do you think that this should be done. ?

First of all, you can't penalize him for something that has never been proven. He has not admitted to taking steroids, he's never failed a drug test and no one has provide conclusive proof that he's done anything illegal.\n\nNow, having said that, do I think he's juiced? YOU BETCHA...but what I think doesn't matter, it's what has been or can be proven. And if he ever is proven to have knowingly taken steroids, he should be banned from the game and his records stricken from the books, especially if he continued to take substances after the league outlawed their use.\n\nI don't believe in athletes as role models, that's what a parent is for, but I also don't believe in cheats as heros either.

I have a boyfriend who has an 8 year old daughter.  We have been seeing each other for several months now.  The other night my boyfriend kissed my 8 year old on top of the head.  He said he was just playing around, he's affectionate with his daughter as well.  But this seriously creeped me out, especially since I was in the other room.  I don't like that he got that close to my daughter.  Would you feel the same way?

The fact that you even suspect him of inappropriate behavior should tell you that you're not trusting him like you should.  There is also a reason for that.  Trust your instincts.


I usually read about release fees of approx. $10. We paid off our HELOC and the mortgage company charges us $85 to release the mortgage. They say the fee is requested by the state. I haven't found anything along those lines and especially not at that amount. Any experience or tips?

I read somewhere that it is.  Maybe it was someone similar issue but I wouldn't vouch for that.  Best advice from me: Call PA State and ask directly.\n\nRival

It probably depends on which service branch that you're in.  For instance, the Air Force is compromised of about 15% Black, 74.5% White, and almost 9% Hispanic.  I am African-American, enlisted AF, have a bachelor's degree (and my research paper away from my MPA).  I don't know if I've seen overt opposition to my pursuit of education, but I will agree that "the system" is not always favorable for minority advancement through education.

Why do people put sutch stupid questions on answers like, should i be gay or can i have sex?

just to piss you off... it seems to have worked. Just laugh at their stupidity and move on.\n\nOr the other answer is: that's what they want to know.


A man is sitting at the kitchen table in front of a big bowl of oatmeal, and his brother walks into the room. \n\nMan 1: Hey, do you want this oatmeal? I can't take another  \n       bite.\n\nMan 2: Are you sure?\n\nMan 1: I'm sure.\n\nThey switch places and the man's brother almost inhales the oatmeal. When he gets to the bottom of the bowl he sees a dead rat in it and throws up.\n\nMan 1: That's as far as I got too!

What is it about Grandpas and nasty jokes? My grandpa used to always tell innapropriate jokes. Like sexual jokes in the wrong company.\n\nThat is a good one though.


I WANT TO KNOW IF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS WERE ALWAYS LIMITED TO TWO TERMS OF FOUR YEARS EACH OR WERE NOT RESTRICTED PRIOR TO THE TWENTY SEVENTH AMENDMENT.

Although technically one could keep on being re-elected until the end of time, George Washington set the precedent of a two-term limit. Though it wasn't unconstitutional, running for a third term was taboo until FDR.


I desparately want a child of my husband. He says we will wait for few more months...i do not use oral contraceptives..he uses condoms..is it possible to make accident happen ? what are the ways ?

Don't do it. Respect your husband's wishes. If you try to trick him, although he will love the child, he will know that you tricked him and he will NEVER forgive you or trust you again. Indeed, he may well go off and have a vasectomy if you do this, which will mean no more children after that first one - do you want that? Think very long and hard before taking this step because it will almost certainly backfire on you.\n\nIt makes no difference if you get pregnant now or 6 months from now - there will still be a baby at the end of it. He is not saying absolutely no babies. He is saying no babies for the next few months. If you only married recently or you are both young, I can understand why he wants to wait. \n\nTry to still your impatience. Instead, use the time to prepare your body for pregnancy. Eat well. Exercise and lose weight if you need to. Get yourself onto a really good vitamin programme so that when your husband is ready for a child, you maximise your chances of conceiving and delivering a healthy child. Most of all, enjoy the time the two of you get to spend together without a child because once it comes, you will get NO PEACE for the next 20 years.


i was in the chemical biologe department  in the damascus university in the third year and last year i pass computer TOFEL test  . Now i plan to finish my college in Germany so until that i wanne to do GRE test

Yes, you can. If you want to know if there are places in Germany where you can take the GRE the answer to that question is, yes.


If you are going out with a boy and he keeps telling people that yall go out and he keeps talking about you in a good ways does that mean that he is in love with you that everytime you see him he comes over and talks to you and play games with you?

Well, that would be a good sign that he likes you--HOWEVER-- I wouldn't necessarily say that it means he LOVES you.\nLove doesn't happen in the span of a few dates. The feeling you get when you start dating someone and liking them a lot and can't get your mind off of them is closer to infatuation. It happens in a lot of relationships at the beginning. If you truly want a long term relationship with someone, you should definitely be friends first, because eventually this infatuation feeling goes away. I've been in relationships where that feeling has lasted 2 or 3 years (infatuation) but even that did eventually go away. We weren't great friends, so the relationship didn't last (we are still friends).\n\nHope this helps you! =)

The United Methodists are against war, are the Southern Baptists?

That war question is a hard one to answer. I am glad that those brave soldiers out there fought for my freedom in my country. And if someone invaded your country and wanted to take away your freedoms what would you think? I hate war and I hate innocent people dieing but there is evil out there and we need to protect what is ours


i have not done too well in SAT1. (about 1700) so do i hav to worry?

I'm not sure how you got a 1700, as 1600 is a perfect score.  "Ivy" league schools look for more than just SAT.  You'll need near perfect grades and a lot of good extra-curricular activities.


Should the United States defend Taiwan in case of a possible attack from China?

That's not very likely. China knows we would support Taiwan and China trades a lot with us.


i need to find a number that has 3 digits and all of them are prime numbers(1,2,3,5,7) and the number has to be divisible by 3, 4 and 7. please help me its for a math final!!!

3 x 4 x 7 = 84\n\n1 x 84 = 84\n2 x 84 = 168\n3 x 84 = 252\n4 x 84 = 336\n5 x 84 = 420\n6 x 84 = 504\n7 x 84 = 588\n8 x 84 = 672\n9 x 84 = 756\n10 x 84 = 840\n11 x 84 = 924\n12 x 84 = 1008\n\nThe only number that meets your criteria of 3 digits and prime digits is 252.  (BTW, the only prime digits are 2,3,5,7; 1 is not considered prime.)\n\nAnd a double check:\n252 / 3 = 84\n252 / 4 = 63\n252 / 7 = 36\n\nSo the answer is 252

why not club to gather with your family and get a family portrait done, and take her out for a meal to present it to her.\nOr why not get her a unusual gift like copy's of the news paper from the day she was born.\nfoster a endangered animal for her

I'm like the only person I know who has St. Patrick's day as one of my all-time favorite holidays.

Yes, I have always said it was my favorite. Some don't understand if they are not of Irish decent. The Irish are proud, strong, God fearing people, and St. Patrick's Day is a day to celebrate our Heritage! If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough.

Its true that there are quite a lot of problem makers like USA, UK, Russia, Iran, N. Korea, Israel etc. But UK seems to have a lot of other interests than the current political issues.  They lost a vast empire and defeated by USA(and along with other european powers lost their significance other than their stolen wealth). Washington is only bothered about their security and markets but Britain is lobbying with the US for grip. Dont' you feel that UK is a big fraud and its PM Blair a big liar(he exactly look like a liar), What do u feel ? write sincerely

Sincerely--I don't think you have a clue!


A Congressional Research Study shows that the U.S. (conservative estimate) has given Israel 105 billion in direct aid since 1949. U.S. taxpayers have been funding the land confiscations, the killing, maiming, imprisonment of Palestinians, the uprooting of olive trees, and other crimes against humanity that Zionists have engaged in for over fifty-seven years. Palestine was not a "land without a people," when the Zionists started their colonisation in 1880. In spite of unchecked immigration the area of Palestine portioned for the Jewish state in 1948 did not have a Jewish majority, and Jews owned less than ten percent of the land. Plan Dalet was waged by the Zionists to cleanse the area of its indigenous Arab inhabitants so that the area portioned for the Jewish state would have a Jewish majority. What is especially virulent about this situation is that the crimes of Zionism are covered up by a widespread propaganda campaign involving a complicit media in every we

I love all of people who are effortting to get their certains. Such as Palestinian, Iraqi etc.\n\nActually, we don't have any other country in that position except of Palestine. Israel is a big lie that is saying to humanity.\nSome years ago (About 60 years) jewish occupied Palestine with help of GB. At that time untill now, jewish that they have immigrated to Palestine are killing people, destroying their houses and run out Palestinian from their country.\n\nIsraelies are just aggressor and occupier.


Please confirm whether it was true that the land was formerly ruled by the Hasheemites and that the Wahabbis took it over by force.

From what i know the Hashimys ruledthe western province...and the eastern province was rule by the Khalidi tribe which was then took by the Turks.. and the Middle was ruled by different tribes.....then Alsaud came and united all the parts together...

If i get this question right in my common test,i could get full marks.It should be a amphibian as it can stay out of water too.But in my textbook,it says that it's a fish!

Mudskipper is not an amphibian because it does not have lungs.It breathes by gills and hence it is a fish.\n\nWhen other fishes are taken out of water their gill filaments stick and are unable to absorb gaseous oxygen and hence they die.But the mudskipper uses a technique in which it can retain water in enlarged gill chambers. They rotate their eyes to swill the water in the gill chambers around and keep the gills fluffed up and oxygenated. \nMudskippers also have to regularly replenish the water in their gill chambers so they cannot stay far from water. \nPlz check the site it might be of help to you.


By the end of august, I want to lose my tummy and my chin, have a clean complection, and be healthy. Please help me. I know that I must eat well but does anyone have excersise tips?

Save the tapes and indoor classes for when the weather gets cold. I would suggest taking advantage of all the summer has to offer in outdoors activities! Hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, inline skating, volleyball, soccer, swimming, kayaking, camping, tennis, etc, just to name a few. Figure out what you love to do! You're much more likely to continue a fitness program that you actually look forward to doing. \n\nTry bicycling to the community pool, swimming for twenty, thirty minutes (or more!) then bicycle home. Earn some extra money doing yardwork for your neighbors, or help out your community by helping to pick up garbage or clearing brush. You'll get lean and have a great tan to boot. Just remember to stay hydrated and bring your SPF!

and do i need some kind of software or can i use the media player 11 to do it?

You need a program called mobile Phone Tools to work with your V180.  You can't save whole music files though - there's no feature that allows for music playback.  The program will, however, allow you to take a song and make it into a ringtone.  (You can also create your own wallpaper using this program.)


HOw can find out if my man is cheating on me? Without him knowing that I am trying to find out

OK why do you think he is cheating on? you say he is a man so why would your man want to cheat on you did you do something? sometimes we think things that is not even true don't try to find out if your man is cheating because that is your man just keep loving him and if you do find that he is doing you wrong just understand that he wasn't a real man.

Before i strained my leg, i went running 3 times a week for about 2 years without a problem. I figure maybe i need to warm up better though. I am gonna run for half an hour and would like to know what would be a good warm up before hand.


ive was abused by my dad when i was about 5 and was  uncontrollable as a young teenager so bad that my mum couldnt cope so she put me into a childrens home they couldnt cope with me cause i kept running away so they put me into a training school which is just the same really just more secure, i forgot to mention i started overdosing on pills when i was about 13 and abusing solvents, and at 16 was taking e's,pot and at 17 speed, ive totally changed now, ive got 2 beautiful kids that i love more than life and i only have a smoke of pot every now and again, ive been depressed for years now , im on antidepressents and have been for the past 5 yrs, i go threw phases were i dont want to open my door to anyone or answer the phone i feel like i want to be dead but my kids need me so thats not an option so then i start thinkin more about cutting my arms but i cant do that either because my kids would see it, so i punch the face of myseld and bite my arms as hard as i can, at the top,

You are a caring loving person. You are valuable and important for this world. Love is all around you. Realize that the past can't be changed but the future belongs to you to make beautiful. Make the choice to love your self and share that love with your children. The lessons you learned as a child have empowered you to make the world of your children a loving and happy place. Indeed, you are polarized by your experiences. Use the negative to make a positive. Good luck to you and bless you.


Gay and Lesbian historical figures. I am interested in your opinion.

I am just Wilde about it Oscar. Let me put down my beer stein, Gertrude, and my Alice B. Toklas brownies so I can answer your question. Isn't it queer you should ask? I know nothing of this. I don't believe one's sexuality should include anyone or exclude anyone as far as historical significance is concerned. I don't think gays should be villified or glorified. The only thing that gives me pause is that it raises homophobia to the same level as racism. One cannot choose one's skin color, except for George Hamilton and Michael Jackson.

Greenhouse effect:  \nIn our atmosphere, we have something called greenhouse gasses.  They exist naturally, and two examples of greenhouse gasses are water vapour and carbon dioxide (there are several more of them).  The greenhouse gasses cause some of the heat that is emitted from the earth to stay within our atmosphere.  If there were no greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, all the heat from the earth would radiate out into space.  This would mean that the average temperature of earth would be -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Farenheit) instead of +15 deg C (60 deg F).  That's a huge difference - I doubt that there would be human life on the planet earth without the greenhouse effect!\n\nGlobal warming:  \nWhen people talk about global warming, they mean that the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere increases.  Some people say that changes occur naturally, some people say it's because we pollute the air with carbon dioxide etc.  An increase of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere would mean that less of the heat from the earth would radiate into space, which gives an increase in the average temperature on earth.  Rising temperatures could mean, for instance, that some of the polar ice melts, causing flooding in coastal countries.\n\nSo:\nGreenhouse effect - a good thing\nGlobal warming - possibly bad


this is my answer to a question about who belives in the bible. It made me want to find out what all of you think of my responce. also to add anything of your own\n\nI believe in the bible as much as i belive in greek mythology. Because in reality that is all it is. so do all of you who believe in the bible also believe in greek mythology? (or any mythology?)\n\nAlso check out the Zoroastrian Religion it predates Christanity, but ya know, it quite a bit like it. Also check the dates of your religious holidays. They are all within a week or so a a Pagan holiday with also predates it.

I see it as myth.  Of course, myths have different purposes, such as explaining where we came from (Genesis) or exaggerating the tales of a hero (The New Testament).  I don't think the world was created in 6 days or that the human races began with Adam and Eve, but I think Jesus was real.  I don't think every thing the NT says happened actually happened the way it says it did, but there's some truth in it.


I was wondering if there was a way to bypass the Windows Genuine Advantage nag screen, and possibly be able to download updates?\n\nOf course, I was just curious as to the process and realize that piracy is a growing problem.

A windows update has updated this new Security feature that requires that check now.\n\nI would try and uninstall that update through your Add/Remove Programs on your control panel. If you cant remove it, then you might just have to install Windows again and make sure you omit that part of the update next time.\n\nIt is a growing problem, but I have a XP CD that I have used on several of my computers and Ill be damned if I have to buy a CD for EACH of my computers just to reinstall XP. I get that nag screen all the time, but I had to reinstall windows and omit that update. \n\nYou can still get other updates even if you dont update that part of the updates.

How can I use MIR and chat..Please explain the procedure

I have a guide at www.viperzone.com with photos.


I have a desktop and a laptop, both running XP SP2.  The desktop is wired through my wireless router to the internet.  The laptop uses the wireless router as well, and connects to the internet just fine.  The problem is that I can't get the two computers to connect to each other so as to share files and a printer.  I've tried disabling both computers' windows firewall and I have run the windows program for networking multiple times.  I've got a common workgroup name, the computers have different names, etc.  So what am I doing wrong?  I've even gotten this to work once before, so I don't know what I am doing wrong this time.  Thanks in advance.

I'd do the same, but use IPX. Its more secure.

I AM P. AND M. DISABLED i had to lawyers but they quit on me. i sued the guy for $8000 for the hell he put me though. i need a person on my side to continuely go after him .it happened 18monthes ago..dec. i live a hafe an hour from bradford,pa. and an hour from olean, ny. i do not want to fall though the cracks. i need help going after him. he can not get away from what he did to me .nikitafaithcodayahoo.com

This sounds like a problem that needs law enforcement to follow through with a criminal charge.   I do not know anything about where you live, but it seems to me that there are social services in everystate who will help you recover from the abuse.  Suing someone doesn't always mean a victory in court nor does it mean that you will be healed of your personal pain.   a good therapist can help you work through your pain.


I asked last week will he want to come back to me that is my partner who was sent to prison for 3 years on 1/11/05 and is due out in november this year, some people think he will some don't my close friend of 13 years thinks he will but i'm still not sure i really don't know what went wrong as we were so close and just wanted to be with each other every minute of every day. he has even stopped speaking to his mum as much as he used to when he first went in. and also sending them visiting orders to see him what do you think

Focus on Truman Capote's technique, theme, or style in his novels.

In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences, by Truman Capote details the 1959 murders of Herbert Clutter, a wealthy farmer from Holcomb, Kansas; his wife, Bonnie; his 16-year-old daughter, Nancy; and his 15-year-old son, Kenyon, and the aftermath. Capote said that he had created a new type of book, the non-fiction novel, by applying traditional literary conventions to crime reporting. Critics debate whether Capote invented this type of writing.


My bf wants to move back to the state where his girls lives so he can get joint custody, only problem... i'm pregnant and would like to stay close to home not 12 hours away....\n\nI love him and I'd move for him, and I love those girls,  but living in the same state as his ex wife... i dunno about that... shes putting too much  pressure on him, which is stressing me out too, its not health for me or the baby, yet its not fair to them 2 precious girls of his either... they need their father in their lives, they need a positive role  model to raise them, and only seeing their dad on certain holidays and 6 weeks in the summer, really just isn't fair to them or my bf for that matter.\n\nwe've only been dating for almost 3 months...

Any questions about custody should be asked to a lawyer. The 1st consultation w/ a lawyer is usually free. Your b/f can find out what his rights are at that time. I would also caution this ... Since you have been together for only 3 months, make sure he wants to move back only for his daughters and not for his ex g/f. Im surprised he got you pregnant after going thru what he is now. I wouldve been more careful or at least planned better. But thats a decision u two made and thats ok. Good luck in whatever he chooses and I do hope his lil girls get the daddy they deserve.


If they are wanting a drug test from you, then something (or someone) gave them reason. CPS can't force you, the judge can. It is in your own best interest to do as they ask so that you can keep custody of your children. Yeah, it's a royal pain, but in the end, your proving to them and society that you are a decent parent and do whatever it takes to be with your children.


I saw it on the History Channel or something. i am not sure where they got the DNA but anyway...Has anyone else heard something like that?

no.  there was a show on a few weeks ago about his siblings, and how if he was holy, wouldn't they be to?  It was an interesting show, but there is no DNA from Jesus left today, not even on the shroud of Turin, which some claim is a fake anyway.


how can i prevent my cloths from alkali and acid when i work in the lab. how can i save my self from vapours and exposing to chemicals at the lab especially when working with student and frequent exposure to chemical is necessary

Well.. It sounds like your a teacher, aren't you?\nHmmm... according to "good laboratory practice", everyone working in the lab are required to wear a lab coat. It's not suppose to be an uniform, but to protect us from any dangerous chemical spillage.\nIf concentrated acid (E.g. 10M) is spilt on your labcoat, you can just take it off and discard it. But if the acid is poured directly to your shirt, I guess you would have to take it off as you lack the extra protection of the labcoat.\nIf you are working with volatile chemicals (ethanol, chloroform, phenol, concentrated acid etc.), you are suppose to work with the chemicals in the fume hood and not in the open space, as the fumes of such chemical can cause respiratory disorder, eye irritation, etc.\nPlease refer to MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) available from chemical supplier and online.\nNormally for student's lab experiments (Secondary or Pre-university), the chemicals involved are common chemicals that are not very dangerous if handled properly. Acid and Alkaline used are also very diluted (0.1M-0.01M), which don't really cause much of a damage to your clothes or skin if you wash it off with water quickly.

I work with someone who insists that there is all this proof, even a video that prooves some consipiracy to cover up that it was not a plane but a bomb.  Have you heard of this?

The Pentagon was hit by a plane on 9/11, bud, so try reading a paper occasionally.\n\nThe 'proof' about the Pentagon conspiracy theory is based mainly on one ambiguous photo of the damage done to the building after the plane hit. This is mostly the work of a French journalist Thierry Meyssan who wrote the book 9/11: The Big Lie soo after it happened.

I am a distance runner, and am interested in picking up sprints. I can run a 100meter in the 11's, and I have run a 65 second quarter. Today I started speed training, running these quarter times, in order, 75, 79, 81, 81, 83, 76. I plan on increasing it to ten quarters, at a higher speed. Is this an effective workout, and also, how fast can I hope to lower my time into the 50's? Thanks.

I'm not sure of your age, but if you can run between 11.0 ~ 11.0 for 100 meters, surely you can run below 65.0 for 400m. The 400m is a sustained sprint and required the ability to push beyond the oxygen debt and latic acid build up that occurs in the race. I'd say an average to advanced runner should be able to achieve these times (by high school year) if properlt trained and the have some natural ability:\n\nFrosh: 58.5 ~ 56.0\nSoph:  56.5 ~ 54.0\nJr:    53.5 ~ 51.5\nSr:    51.0 ~ 49.5\n\nIf you can't achieve these times, then I'd have to question whether the event is for you.\n\nStart with a distance base. Run distance to gain endurance. Then do repeat "breakdowns" 400/300/200/100 with no more than 30 seconds between each run. Run at 90% Follow that with speed work.\n\nThis was my basic workout in HS back in the late 70's. I ran the 200/400 and my PRs were 48.3 (48.83 Autotimed) & 21.65 (Autotimed)\n\nBetter yet, read the training tips from the best 400m track coach in the world, Clyde Hart, who coached among others, world record holder Michael Johnson.

the only other country allowed dual citizen is canada. but canada is not at war and probably will never be.

Dual citizenship is allowed with Ireland, too. Dual citizenship is not just given, it must be attained.\n\nThe US has cut off all aid to Palestinians because they US has a double standard. They want democratically elected leaders, as long as they are leaders we like. \n\nThe US gives 1/3 of our foreign aid budget to Israel, the 6th richest country in the world. We supply them with they military hardware they use to oppress and kill Palestinians. We support them even though they refuse to abide by international treaties and UN resolutions.


please pay attention to the question carefully. I just ask about his success in formula 1 and your success in a category. What is success in general? think it...

Success is being happy with ones self.It has nothing to do with material values.


We were best friends for 5 er so years, then went to college but are still close. She is marring another one of my close friends. They got engaged and didnt even call me I found out from someone and call them. Now there wedding is in a year and im worried I wont be asked to be in there wedding. We always said we would be in each others wedding, but then we also told each other we would call each other the same day we got engaged. When does the bride Usally ask the girls in her wedding party and what do I do if im not asked?

The best answer to give you is to wait and let the bride call you.  If you go asking from the first point on seeing her again she may not want to place you in her wedding party.  Patience is a virtue.  If she does not ask you then you might want to have a private chat with her and remind her calmly and cooly that you two discussed being in each others weddings and so on.  Ask why she left you out.  And let her know it hurt you.  But always try to keep the friendship the most important part of the things you share with your friend.  Is being a bridesmaid so important that the friendship dies?
