I just don't understand the reasoning to this?

If you hire a full-time person, you have to pay that person not only salary, but also benefits.  This can include health insurance, dental insurance, workman's comp insurance, vacation, sick leave, etc.  It also costs money to recruit a new employee, train that person, and keep them trained.  You may have to find an office/desk/cubicle for that person to work at.  You have an extra car in the parking lot that needs a parking space.  You have one more person that needs to be supervised and kept "in the loop" on things.\n\nPlus, when you create a new position, you often have to justify it to the higher-ups in the organization.  It's easier to justify paying overtime, especially if the workload level fluctuates.\n\nNone of these are issues if you simply pay your existing workers to work overtime.  It is often cheaper and simpler to pay the OT.  Plus, many workers actually like the extra money.\n\n---===---\n\nTemps can be just as expensive as overtime, or more.  Depending on what industry you are in, temps can be a crap shoot as far as quality and loyalty.  Many companies, for a variety of reasons, would prefer to use their own workers when it is feasible to do so.\n\nThere are certainly disadvantages with lots of overtime too.  When employees are forced to work overtime that they do not want to work for extended periods of time, employee burnout goes up, sick leave usage goes up, attitude toward work goes down.  It's a balancing act.

If so, does anyone know what happened to House's leg?

He had an infarction in his leg, which caused him to lose a lot of his thigh muscle. As a result, he's experiencing extreme pain, for which he takes Vicodin to help cope with it.\n\nBy the way, and infarction is like a heart attack. Or as House said in season one: "It happens when the blood flow is obstructed. If it's in the heart, it's a heart attack; if it's in the lungs, it's a pulmonary embolism; if it's in the brain, it's a stroke. I had it in my leg."


The city of Aosta is in Italy and i need to know how far it is from the France border

Aoste is about 30km from the French border.


assuming you have worked enough "quarters" to get ssd and are, in fact, disabled,   does the amount of money you have\nsuch as trust fund, spousal support etc   have anything to do with whether you are approved for ssd?

Yes, the amount you receive from ssd will most likely be a smaller sum since you have money elsewhere. Even if it was just a few $100's in a savings account that would be considered when signing up for ssd. Your best bet would be tio talk with a case worker in your local ssd office


i am talking about WWE raw and smackdown.

The Undertaker. He knows how to give and take a serious beating.  He's a dyed hair, white haired old man too.  Nobody has more charisma than the Hulkster though.  Rey Mysterio is the best per pound.  Angle is the biggest jerk.  Eddie Gurrero was super cool most of the time.  The Big Show is a monstrosity at 500 pounds.  Bautista was a likable powerhouse.  There have been many excellent wrestlers over the years.


Looking things from viking prespectives, what are moral of viking and respect in Cartoons depecting prophet mohamed an ugly picture.  where is sense of art in this is simply provoking segrigating muslims act..?

I also think mariane is right, Muslims should forgive. \nWhen Mohammad recaptured the Mecca he didn't go for revenge. He forgave all of his enemies and you know that his enemies killed his beloved uncle "The lion of God" Hamzeh and even ate his liver...\nMaybe the cartoonists found it funny but now I think they don't think its funny.\nOf course if they think I'm a troll because I'm a muslim and I can destroy their dreams they must go to a psychiatrist as fast as possible. It is Islamphobia paranoia and can be very dangerous.


The Following Text Is Taken From Wikipedia..:\n\n"There are either 17 or 18 known species worldwide, depending on whether the two Eudyptula species are counted as distinct. Although all penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere, they are not, contrary to popular belief, found only in cold climates, such as Antarctica. In fact, only a few species of penguin actually live so far south. Three species live in the tropics; one lives as far north as the Galápagos Islands and will occasionally cross the equator while feeding.\n\nThe largest species is the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri): adults average about 1.1 meters (3 ft 7 in) tall and weigh 35 kilograms (75 lb) or more. The smallest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin (also known as the Fairy Penguin), which stands around 40 cm tall (16 in) and weighs 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). Generally larger penguins retain heat better, and thus inhabit colder regions, while smaller penguins are found in temperate or even tropical climates. The rarest type of penguin is the yellow-eyed penguin (megadyptes antipodes) and is probably the most ancient of all living penguins. adults average about 65cm tall and the adults average weight is 5-6 kilograms\n\nMost penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend half of their life on land and half in the oceans.\n\nDue to the gender ratio, penguins are one of the few species on the planet whose females fight over single males during mating season, due to the comparatively low number of male penguins.\n\nOne of the most baffling forms of behavior of the penguin comes when a mother loses her chick, either due to its being unable to endure its first storm, or due to other reasons such as predators. When a mother loses its chick, they have been known to actually attempt to steal another mother's living chick- presumably in order to deal with the grief of the loss. This behavior has amazed scientists, as it is an emotional outburst opposed to an instinctual behavior; something many animals do not exhibit when losing their young. Many have used this as prime evidence for decades that many animals have near human-like emotions and feelings, often for the sake of animal rights. Interestingly, the other females in the penguin groups dislike this behavior and will help the defending mother keep her chick. Another fact about penguins is that they are one of the few species of birds that seem to have no fear of people. In fact, they have been known to approach groups of explorers without the slightest hesitation."\n\nFor More, See The Link(s) Below..

I married a woman with 3 children and the past several years we have had some financial problems.  However, I found out last month several days before that my parents and my brother who is a doctor and my sister who has her own business were going on a cruise together.  I was completely excluded and I am very hurt Do you think this is wrong?

That's pretty bad.  You can bet you've been cut out of the will too.  I'd be tempted to go to the dock to see them off, and not wave.  Ask them to take your camera along.  Get some brochures of the same trip and have them on your coffee table when they visit.  Try to find the positive about it.  It could have been worse being stuck on a boat with them.  Stay cheerful, it will drive them nuts.  It's probably hopeless, life is not fair, sometimes painful, just move on.


just wanted to let them know that I appreciate all that they do for us.

if you want to support them directly, adopt a soldier.  all it means is just send them some letters and care packages.  it means the world to them.  \n\nif you have kids, see if your kid's class wanted to have some as a pen pal.  its helps everyone.  \n\nyou could help at a uso.\n\nif you know someone who has been called up, offer support to their families.  \n\nall the money from those $0.99 yellow rubber band bracelets go directly to uso's\n\nthere's a million ways to show your support.  some take as little as a hand shake and a thank to a returning troop.  thank you for supporting the men and women who serve now and  who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Just let your inhibitions go. If you feel like saying something or making a noise, just do it! If you're worrying about what you're saying the whole time, you're not gonna have as much fun. Just do what comes naturally. If you don't naturally make a lot of noise, that's fine. Just let her know that you love it when she does. Encourage her then afterwards say something like, "you sounded so hot tonight."

I mean, if you don't go to hell for killing Jesus then why the hell do you go to hell for?

As pointed out by above answers Jews do not claim they crucified Jesus. Even if some jews are involved it would not for a just God to send all jews to hell, for the crime some did. From a christain point of view those who crucified Jesus, did something which resulted in whole christians go into heaven.(I am not christian and do not believe in this)

My first grade grandson had to pick a president to write about in class. He chose Richard M. Nixon. My grandson's report said he was a good President, he was for peace, and he was a nice man because he had a cat.

I expect there was some good even in Richard Nixon.  I am sure many people loved him, and he loved many people.  Your son will find out as he matures and loses his rose colored glasses the reality that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, some of us bigger mistakes than others.

I need to know the smallest distance from earth to saturn in order to do a homework problem...somebody help please...

Maximum Distance from Earth:\n1,658,854,980 km\n\nMinimum Distance from Earth:\n1,195,772,020 km\n\nCheck source: http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/planets/saturn.htm\n\n---------------------------------------------------\nAnother Answer:\nSaturn is 8.833 A.U. away from Earth. To get that distance in kilometers, multiply the A.U. distance by 149,600,000. To get that distance in miles, multiply the A.U. distance by 93,000,000. So Saturn is 1,321,416,800 kilometers from Earth (8.833x149,600,000) and 821,190,000 miles from Earth today (8.833x93,000,000).\n\nSource: http://www.windows.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/tour_def/kids_space/distance.html

how do you legally evict someone if there is no binding contract. the reason for the eviction is that they dont fully pay the rent every month, it takes them 2 months to pay just one month

Hire an eviction service.  It can be tricky to boost someone, even if it is just a friend of your roommates who will not leave after visiting for three weeks.

I don't really want something that i can put in a big sphere and blow up neighboring planets with and call it the death star. I want to know how to make a small laser at home that will run off of a small amount of power and can be used as a laser pointer and if i get bored, just add a 9V battery and make it into a laser-printer by burning paper with it or something like that. Does anyone know how i could do this?

First off, you probably don't have the resources to make a decent pen laser.  This kind of thing is something a big company with nice machinery can mass produce.  Still, the info below might be of use.\n\n"Easy" instructions for making a laser (from parts): http://van.hep.uiuc.edu/Van/qa/section/Light_and_Sound/Lasers/939927573.htm\n\n"Hard" instructions for making a laser (from scratch): http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/sam/lasercon.htm\n\nBurning paper for fun will be more easily accomplished with a magnifying glass and the sun.  If you want something really cool, try building an ion ray gun (yes, they are real).  You can turn on florescent lights by shooting them, among other fun things.  http://www.amazing1.com/ion-gun.htm\n\nAll of these except the "easy" laser gun are serious endeavors and will require substantial effort on your part.  At the very least, you should know how to use a schematic and how to solder.

There are 22 states that allow some form of limited non-lawyer practice.

my ex and i broke up a few wks ago. we were together for a lil over a year. and i think i'm over it. is that normal cuz we were together for a yr? does that mean i never really loved him that much anyway or what? am i just in denial cuz i didn't want to care anymore so my mind is telling me that i'm over it? i just miss have someone there for me and doing the things we used to do. it bothers me that hes rebounding and maybe trying to forget about me but i think i've let go and realized there's someone out there better for me.

You're not over it or in denial because you are just trying to get on with your life rather than trying to get him back.  It doesn't mean you didn't love him because you are trying to go on with your life; it just mean that your mind has made up its mind to do what it needs to do to start living again.  It will take time but in the meantime; I think your body and mind is trying to survive through all that has been going on.

Hi, I'm majoring on graphic design at a community college, and I think I've enough knowledge to start my own small business, I could start with small companies and individuals, but I don't know if it'll work out, I already have a company that can print all my work for an incredible low price, business cards, catalogs, brochures, menus, flyers and all that, I'm afraid that It won't work out.

Check in the yellow pages for website designers and graphics specialist, see if those companies are hiring.

Check in the mirror,it could still be stuck to your face.


I think he is a good acter what do you think?

my opinion: he don't know what he wants.


Or you could do it yourself using the formulas F=9/5C+32 and C=5/9F-32.  1 degree Fahrenheit is 5/9 of 1 degree celsius (and vice versa) and you add or subtract 32 degrees because freezing is 32F and 0C.


Wikipedia is fairly reliable. But it certsinly isn't the final word, and in a contest betwen Wikipedia and any other source I will always bet on the other source.\n\nBut what you read on Wikipedia is worth believing until you find a reason not to.


The Fourth Amendment states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particuarly \ndescribing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."\nAfter 9/11 do you think this right was violated?

Absolutely. The USA PATRIOT Act violated the amendment. As did Bush's wiretapping.


my husband will not let me go out with my girlfriends.  each time i do he calls them and me to see what we are doing.. last night he threw a fit and threatened to take my son.  what do i do?

If he's threatening to take your son away from you it's because he feels threatened.  He's insecure and wrong for using your son as a tool to manipulate you.  If you've already tried to discuss the topic and he continues to restrict you from going out, you should seek counseling.  If that doesn't work, use your best judgement. No one should have to feel threatened in a marriage.


He had a "politically incorrect" way of gaining additional strenght.  What was it?

You mean the 'energy booster cigarette...??   lol


Why do people ask crazy questions on this thing instead of just googling?

Some people go to to google, but they don't find what they want so they go here or they want answers from real people. I forgot to add this but people might answers from real people instead of having web results and looking through pages and page for an answer. And there're lazy.


There are several documents listing the stages of sleep and what the body does PHYSICALLY (jerking, eye movement...) while one is sleeping but I could not find anything related to the BIOLOGICAL processes themselves that occur during sleep.  How does the body recharge during sleep?  How does it enhance our immune system?  Obviously something has to happen because you feel weak and are more likely to get sick if you don't get enough sleep. Any info on these mechanisms is greatly appreciated.

I guess it just gives your body time to rest. you organ's don't seam to work as hard so it give's the body time to heal it's self and rest up for the next day. This is just a guess mind you.


Considering all of the things you cant do.

I think as long as there is breath in your body life is worth living. There is always something new around the next corner. As one who was "morbidly" obese and had surgery to fix that I can say life is much better now however life wasn't so bad then just harder. Peoples attitudes were the hardest things to deal with when they would look at you with disgust in their eyes or just make rude comments... heck they didnt even know me or my medical conditions!!!!

B"H\nTell me something new you've learned; it's Monday already!

Aliya, nothing deep, i am not a deep person, but for last week, i liked this:::\n\n""""Rabbi Simcha Bunem of Pesicha said that we can learn how to serve God properly from observing the ways of the thief!!\n\nOne: The thief is not deterred by darkness, rain or cold. He goes about his profession.\nTwo: If he does not succeed the first time, he tries again and again until he is successful.\nThree: He does not look down his nose at what is small, but he steals everything he can get his hands on, whether valuable or cheap.\n \nIn the same vein, , the servant of Gd should serve Gd day and night, rain or shine. If he tries and fails he should try again. He should consider no mitzvah to be beneath his dignity but should strive to serve Gd in all matters, both large and small.\n \nThe Maggid of Mezritch taught, as recorded in the book Ten Lights: We can learn how to serve Gd properly from observing the ways of the child.\n\nOne: A child is always happy\nTwo: A child is never idle. He is always busy with something\nThree: When a child wants something, he cries.\n \nIn the same vein, one should always serve Gd with joy, one should be engaged in a mitzvah at every moment, and one should never hesitate to pray for ones needs.\n \nOn another occasion Rabbi Simcha Bunem taught: We can learn the service of Gd from the game of checkers:\n\nOne: You can only move forward, not backwards.\nTwo: You can only move one step at a time.\nThree: Once you have reached the final row, and only then, you can move any way you like.""""


old batterys can cause fires how meny people keep the lent from there dryers or throw the lent in the trash not thinking about old batterys in the trash well that can cause a fire quick the lent has static and the juice fro the battery is like a match

i think pretty much everyone throws batteries in the trash, there hasn't been a spate of battery related fires so it sounds like its relatively safe - of course there will be flukes but its nothing to cause major worry.

What is 1,783 x 5,912 - 13,781 divided by 3x0 x 41 - 32 x 456,1054 =?\n\nFirst one to get it right gets 10 pts.!

I'd say 0. You cant multiply anything with 0. And dividing it by 0 equals 0... \nSo 0


I don't think it's right because if they are being punshied for killing someone than shouldn't the judge be punshied for killing someone.

Lets start with this-- we know for a fact at least one innocent person has been executed, we know that chances are a significant number more have been and that DNA evidence has in fact exonerated many death row inmates. so point a. innocence. secondly, the hypocrasy of this procedure is revolting-- we cannot give ourselves the moral highground if we are taking lives. thirdly contrary to many pro-death penalty advocates it actually costs more to execute an inmate than jail him or her for life and finally, it is a relic of a primordial need for vengance-- yes, if my sister were raped and murdered I would want the man who did it dead, but morally I could not encourage the government to act on my desires because I feel that the dominion over life belongs to the divine creator of life not to a fatally flawed system


well me and my wife have had problems in the past b/c i cheated about 3 years ago. for the past 8 months we have been seperated b/c of her job she is in another country and i have fell deeply in love with her then ever before and she just recently came down for a month to visit and we had the best time in our whole relationship of 6 years. So when she went back about a couple weeks later i found out she had cheated on me with a friend when she was very drunk one time she says she didn't even know it happened until he told her. know that i look back at the situation i could see her trying to tell me but she couldn't b/c she knew i would leave. she says that the other guy was supposed to be her friend and know she hates him b/c the whole time he was their for her and would listen to her problems she say that he was just trying to work on getting with her and she was to blind to see that. i know i got what i deserve so to speak but i need to know if you think we could work it out idoluvhr

well if she could forgive you then you should beable to do the same for her , not that you have to but thats what is right . the both of you have to make agreements to who and how you wil get drunk with others when the other one isnt around , i had to do that with my gf for the same reason , by doing that we removed the abilities of people we dont trust to take advantage of the situation of a drunk mate , but its up to you and her to make the rules up to what sutes each other , but only if you think you can handle it . staying with some one who has cheated on you can prove to be very hard to hold suspisions back , and not let them eat you up , because it wouldnt be fair to both of you to string her around when youknow you cant handle it , and if she didnt mean for this to happen she will live with guilt for a long time , so dont rub it in if ya know she is hurtin over it


What country gave birth to this edge-of-your seat sport?

The game was probably invented in late medieval Scotland, with the first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey, Renfrewshire, in February, 1541. Two paintings (both dated 1565 [1]) by Pieter Brueghel the Elder depict Dutch peasants curling (Scotland and the Low Countries had strong trading and cultural links during this period, which is also evident in the history of golf).\n\nThe word curling first appears in print in 1620 in Perth, Scotland, in the preface and the verses of a poem by Henry Adamson.


for what is going on right now,\nis it a war on terrorism or islam? if yes or no. why do you think so?

They are tired of being humiliated.\n\nI mean... they been suspected of terrorism, seen a super-power invading an islamic nation like nothing, they see soldiers humiliating islamic prisoners, have western nations telling them what energy to use, are being told they are not civilized because they dont have western standarts, theyget threatened and have their religion made fun of...\n\nI wonder how you would like that?

I am by no means rich, but I do beleive that Envy is one of the deadly sins...  \nWhy do the Democrat Left Want the poor to envy the rich, especially when they are the rich?

because they get elected by playing on the fears of the poor, and showing how much more they "care".


Mine is people who talk on their cell phones at the gym.

People who don't wash their hands before leaving the toilet, one of the most disgusting things a person can do.


The phone companies in my area offer high speed to both our neighbors, but they don't to our house. We also don't want cable. I've tried all the big names (Earthlink, Verzion), but they don't offer it yet (it's been like this many years). Also one of our neighbors said we could use his WAP (Wireles Acces Point), but I'd rather have our own internet connection.

Good luck then. Cable is better then phone. Because the speed requiements are faster. your telephone is only 1.54 MBits now cable modem speeds are 8 mbits in most areas. I would go with cable if I where you. But don't want it then you need to go with a T1 which will run you about 300 to 400 a month. Proved you provide your own router and CSU/DSU.\nThe router will set you back about $2,500 and the CSU/DSU will set you back about 200 to 500 a month. I would recommend you just get cable.


i know there are 2 different types of jews. the ISRAELI jews and the jews from the holocaust, 2 DIFFERENT types of jews but yet people still mean to make fun of both types. why? israeli's are 100% different. how many different types are there?

i know that there is the orthodox an the conservative jews. i dont know the difference, but 2 me jews r cool. but my friends seem 2 think that jews r soft. i guess its da way they dress.


how the web crawlers works and what is it? is it stand alone application or is it programed by scripting language like java or .net and can i get web crawlers to or just know where or how to build one?

Let's say you write a program (in either Java or .Net) to retrieve the contents of a single web page.  Then, in your program, you search the page for links to other pages.  Next, recursively, you retrieve those pages and search for links on them.  Etc.  Etc.\n\nYou save all the links in a database with (perhaps) the text content of the page.  You rerun this process nightly and build you "portfolio" of linked pages.\n\nYou might "prime" you database with links from known pages with links to lots of other pages.  Over time, you will have lots of links...


My sister has been told that she may have lung cancer.  My parents and other people we know have had lung cancer and underwent chemotherapy..and still died. she is thinking about not having chemo because she will die anyways..and going through chemo is so hard on a person.  Anyone have any encouraging statistics on surviving?

My heart goes out to you and your sister.  People DO survive lung cancer.  Taking chemo is a tough decision to make, it can destroy the quality time you may have left IF  hers is NOT in a curable stage.  Most doctors WILL give honest answers IF the patients ASK:  Is my cancer curable?  What are my chances of surviving with surgery only?  What are my chances of surviving WITH and WITHOUT chemo? Or  WITH and WITHOUT radiation?\nShe might need you to go with her to ask these questions, (I encourage you to WRITE DOWN your questions, and let the doctor SEE you have a list of questions...) for the support, and so you can reaffirm what she was told.   An amazing number of people are unable to clearly remember and process the info they are given when the disease is life-threatening.  If you were with her, and later she can't quite recall the information, you could gentley help her work through the answers.\n Encourage her to get second opinions if she feels she needs more information.  Not EVERY form of cancer, not EVERY patient is good candidate for chemo.  Chemo can often cause more life ravaging consequences than the cancer itself.  I can understand her hesitancy in NOT jumping into chemotherapy.  Please do not let anyone make her feel like a "quitter" or guilty for NOT choosing chemo IF HERS IS not curable.  Perhaps she will choose to focus her fight on maintaining her dignity, independence, and quality of life as long as she is able to- IF HERS IS NOT IN A CURABLE STAGE.  \nSometimes radiation and other cancer treatments are given as a palliative measure, meaning it will not CURE the cancer, but hopefully if can keep the tumors from causing decreasing function of of organs in the chest, or from causing increased pain.\nIf it IS treatable, and if it IS a stage of cancer that will repond to surgery, chemo, and radiation, etc, it may make it easier for her to bear the treatments if she knows she DOES have a chance to survive.  She has a right to that information about her own particular stage of cancer before she makes the choice. Take care, I wish you both well.


Could methamphetamine be passed through the semen of a male drug user into a female during unprotected sex and result in a positive ua for the female non user?

where you in the same room as the person who was using..might of had indirects exposure..just enough to cause it show but not enough to cause it to effect you....the guys body more than likely would have filtered it before sperm production but anything is possible


just got a mega paying job with lots of family responsibility up my sleeve. how do one cope with this

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make some suppositions. Since you said you are a young widow, I will assume that your four children are young as well. I will further assume that at least one of them is too young to even go to school or goes to school a half day. I'm going to also assume that your mega paying job reguires a mega amount of hours and you don't get a lot of time with your children. So, your choice is to provide for your children financially or emotionally, but you are worried that you can't do both. How am I doing so far?\n\nIf I am close, the most obvious answer is to use a nanny or other care giver. That would at least mean that your children will have someone to take care of their physical needs. A better answer might be to use friends and relatives to help take care of them. This is better because they can give more love to the children than a nanny would.\n\nI should probably mention another possibility. Getting remarried. Taking care of children is tough. It is much easier with two people.


My friend (I'll call her Sue) is not acting like what I think a friend should act.  She has been ignoring me and my other friend for a while now.  Sue has a boyfriend who I think is nice but Sue has been spending her entire time with him.  I don't get to talk to Sue as much as I want to. My other friend and I don't like it that's she is treating us like a spare tire.  I only see her when her boyfriend is not around.\n Should I dump her for never talking to me or my other friend. Or should I make all the effort to talk to her.

Let me ask you this and it is coming from a loving place.  Do you have a life outside of your friendship with Sue?  Do you have a man?  Are there feelings of jealousy?  \n\nI ask this because based on your questions you appear upset because Sue is spending more time with her man and not the girls.  You are prepared to cut someone you call a friend out of your life because you are not getting what you want i.e.  "I don't get to talk to Sue as much as I want to. My other friend and I don't like it that's she is treating us like a spare tire"\n\nWhile friendship is important and can sometimes be the spice of life, intimacy is also very important to life.  New relationships take time to develop.  \n\nNot only that, but if she allows you to dictate the terms of her relationship now when will it stop.  Where does she draw the line?  Why do you get to dictate how much is too much time to spend with her boyfriend?\n\nIf you love your friend, don't be so selfish and stop actiling like a spoiled little child.  Is it wise or mature on your part to get mad when you don't get what you want.  If you start cutting your friends loose now because you can't have your way, when will you stop.  Hopefully it won't be when you are alone and have no friends to talk to.  \n\nAre you really a friend or someone trying to fulfill your wants and desires through someone else.\n\nFrom my personal experience, going one day without talking has never killed any of my friendships.  Heck, I have life long friends that I have not talked to in months, but that is not enough to destroy our friendship.  We all have too many other things going on in our lives than to worry about who is doing what and why has't she called me today.  \n\nThe best advice I could give you is to grow up and get a life of your own.  I can guarantee if you were out participating in just a fraction of what life has to offer you won't have the time to wonder why Sue has not called you.  In fact, you may find you are enjoying life so much that weeks have gone by and you have not called Sue.


I'm looking for outdoor adventure programs that I can take my seven year old son to, and actively participate in as well.  Hiking, camping, whitewater rafting, ropes courses, etc. Preferably programs that have some social component to them as well, such as communication skills, boundary building, respect, and growing in fun, joyful, family partnership.  Any ideas??

Contact Ricardo or Trista and tell them Judi Murphy suggested you contact them.  Their Hawk Circle program - link below, includes a summer camp, college credit programs - I'm not sure if they have what you are looking for - but I trust them implicitly.  If they cannot accommodate you - they are likely to know who has what you need.


Hi, I've already answered this question here so I'll quote myself:\nEcosystem is short for ecological system. What does "system" mean in this context? A complex system is a group of elements that are inter-related; the outcome of those interelationships produces a structure and functions so that the system is more than the sum of its component parts.\nIn the case of ecosystems, the elements are biotic (living, i.e. animals, plants, fungi, etc.) and abiotic (soil, air, water, etc.). All functions and relationships among these components are also part of the ecosystem, including feeding and all types of symbioses. You can examine the structure and functions separately, but the ecosystem is a whole where every element depends on others and is depended on. There are matter, energy and information fluxes running continuously in and out of it.


we met last april during his graduation from bootcamp. we've started talking in june, just getting to know each other, mainly in a friend way..we have talked ever since. I went to california to see him for a weekend before he left to go to iraq, he said that he wanted me to be his girl, just the circumstances really suck considering he will be gone for a year. He said he didn't want me to put my life on hold and didn't expect me not to date other people. we aren't really official, but I don't want anyone else but him. I am so scared he is going to forget about me while he is there, just push me out of his mind or harden himself to the whole situation. It might sound insecure, but I can't help it. Any advice?

I think it would be safe to say that he isn't going to forget you, why? he made the ultimate sacrifice for you. He told you to date others even though he wants you for himself. He could of said while i am gone do not see anyone else, but instead he put you before him. I would assure him that you are here for him and will be here for him when he gets back. A man who puts the woman first really cares and loves her.


I checked Dell's site but didn't see it there...may need a number if you saw it on sale in paper, web, t.v.? \nThanks for your help


Without questioning if it's true or not. After all, the Bible was writen by people. Humans created God, or God created Humans, isn't that the dilema?

Because they Don't know anything about false info or even the very clear contradiction in it like\n\nWho incited David to count the fighting men of Israel? \n\n(a) God did (2 Samuel 24: 1) \n\n(b) Satan did (I Chronicles 2 1:1) \n\n\nIn that count how many fighting men were found in Israel? \n\n(a) Eight hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9) \n\n(b) One million, one hundred thousand (IChronicles 21:5) \n\n\nHow many fighting men were found in Judah? \n\n(a) Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9) \n\n(b) Four hundred and seventy thousand (I Chronicles 21:5) \n\n\nGod sent his prophet to threaten David with how many years of famine? \n\n(a) Seven (2 Samuel 24:13) \n\n(b) Three (I Chronicles 21:12) \n\n\nHow old was Ahaziah when he began to rule over Jerusalem? \n\n(a) Twenty-two (2 Kings 8:26) \n\n(b) Forty-two (2 Chronicles 22:2) \n\n\n\n\nHow old was Jehoiachin when he became king of Jerusalem? \n\n(a) Eighteen (2 Kings 24: \n\n(b) Eight (2 Chronicles 36:9) \n\n\nHow long did he rule over Jerusalem? \n\n(a) Three months (2 Kings 24: \n\n(b) Three months and ten days (2 Chronicles 36:9) \n\n\nThe chief of the mighty men of David lifted up his spear and killed how many men at one time? \n\n(a) Eight hundred (2 Samuel 23: \n\n(b) Three hundred (I Chronicles 11: 11) \n\n\nWhen did David bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem? Before defeating the Philistines or after? \n\n(a) After (2 Samuel 5 and 6) \n\n(b) Before (I Chronicles 13 and 14) \n\n\nHow many pairs of clean animals did God tell Noah to take into the Ark? \n\n(a) Two (Genesis 6:19, 20) \n\n(b) Seven (Genesis 7:2). But despite this last instruction only two pairs went into the ark (Genesis 7:8-9) \n\nWhen David defeated the King of Zobah, how many horsemen did he capture? \n\n(a) One thousand and seven hundred (2 Samuel 8:4) \n\n(b) Seven thousand (I Chronicles 18:4) \n\n\nHow many stalls for horses did Solomon have? \n\n(a) Forty thousand (I Kings 4:26) \n\n(b) Four thousand (2 chronicles 9:25) \n\n\nIn what year of King Asa's reign did Baasha, King of Israel die? \n\n(a) Twenty-sixth year (I Kings 15:33 - 16: \n\n(b) Still alive in the thirty-sixth year (2 Chronicles 16:1) \n\n\nHow many overseers did Solomon appoint for the work of building the temple? \n\n(a) Three thousand six hundred (2 Chronicles 2:2) \n\n(b) Three thousand three hundred (I Kings 5:16) \n\nSolomon built a facility containing how many baths? \n\n(a) Two thousand (1 Kings 7:26) \n\n(b) Over three thousand (2 Chronicles 4:5) \n\n\nOf the Israelites who were freed from the Babylonian captivity, how many were the children of Pahrath-Moab? \n\n(a) Two thousand eight hundred and twelve (Ezra 2:6) \n\n(b) Two thousand eight hundred and eighteen (Nehemiah 7:11) \n\n\nBut The Quran makes the clear challenge, that if you are in doubt about it - then bring a book like it. Also, to bring ten chapters like it and then finally, to bring one single chapter like it. 1,400 years - and no one has been able to duplicate it's beauty, recitation, miracles and ease of memorization. Another challenge for the unbelievers to consider; "If this (Quran) were from other than Allah, you would find within it many contradictions." And yet, another challenge offered by Allah in the Quran is for the unbelievers to look around for evidences. Allah says He will show them His signs within themselves and on the farthest horizons.


If there is one path to reach eternal life which one is it and why do you think it is the wright path?

The path that is mentioned in the Bible. Living according to\nthe Word of God. The Bible. I find alot of the Bible to be\ntrue. What I have seen in person had enough evidence to \nconvince me that God is really. I actually saw a demon come\nout of someone, a woman being healed of aids and still living to tell it, someone speaking in tongues, and feeling\na warm sensation come over me that feels like warm oil. It\nis a good feeling. That is God touching you. God will make\nyou feel better than any drug, alcohol, or sex.


g,s,l,e,p,a,g..hav'nt tried yet,wonder what peopel will come up with..


We have enough money to pay cash for our new car, but several people have told me that I should finance it anyway to build my credit so it will benefit us when we go to buy a house.

That is true that when you buy a house they will check on your credit history, and it is true that there are other ways to buid credit, and it is true that you shouldn't pay interest if you don't need to.\nSo, it is your choice, in fact, you could finance your car, if you find another good use on the cash you have for it, like if you are thinking of some business and maybe will need the cash to finance it. Or if the momento of buy your house is close, you can use the cash for the initial pay, so you will need less money for the loan.\nBut if you wont use the cash, and that money would be just in a saving account, you should use it for the car, and get some other credits like in credit cards.\nSo, it depends on your needs, and your projects in general.


if u can..just send it to my email add.(hilly_214@yahoo.com) pls. someone help me beco'z its my project in school activities

I don't think anyone really feels like doing your homework for you.


it would be better if the site is free. I've already tried NBA.com it's not that great fantasy wise.

If you go to NBA.com  , you can find some podcast to download and listen to. I do this with MLB.com for fantasy baseball and just looked on the nba website to find that they have podcast there also...... I love the MLB podcast for Fantasy.....


With terrorists, and copy cat criminals everywhere how can we stay informed without giving too much away. I'm also concerned with how the news affects/influences our young people. What can we do?

there are many different sources of news today: the internet is good because of its immediate nature, tv and newspapers are good because they can provide and in-depth local slant on a story.  but if you try to stay on top of everything, you'll suffer from information overload. \n\nindividually:::if you are asking how to pick and choose between the wide variety, i think a person should take into account the time they have available to digest the news, and what things they feel they need to know.  i've customized my yahoo page to bring up only those sources i trust, so in a sense i've censored myself.  there's too much out there and i feel the need to draw a line.\n\nas a society:::on the other hand if you're asking how much of our national defense policy should we give away, or should we publicize crimes that might incite others to repeat them, then it's a much finer line, with much more at stake.  where does the public's right to know overlap the potential dangers to them?  it can be decided on a case-by-case basis, but do we really trust news editors to make that call for us? they are biased by their own opinions too, so what they want us to see and hear will be colored by that.  credibility is an issue when the media are businesses that exist to make money 1st and report 2nd.  it's small wonder that people view the mass media with more than a little suspicion.


I want G summers Brain Teasers (free say a ebook)where can i get it?

the person whom iam in love and engagged is looking for a job.he wont marry until he gets a job.

Sweetie he just wants to be able to take care of you. If you can tell he really loves you give it time...be patient. Good things come to those who wait. Take it as a good sign that he wants to work for you and give you all he can. It shows he is concerned about your well being. Trust me I went through the same thing and now I am happily married and he makes good money. This may sound very strange but tell him to watch for a hanging orange or red cloth...maybe many cloths hung in a row outside (like flags in size but not flags), gently moving in the breeze. If he sees this tell him to enter the place within and his luck might turn. Worth a shot anyways! Many blessings to you! :D

She scored 113 points in a 137-32 win in New York\n\nhttp://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-113-pointgame&prov=ap&type=lgns  \n^link to article

Impressive, but considering she only got 1 point from the line, it tells you what kind of defense the other team was playing (none, basically).  From what I've heard the other team was pretty intimidated and didn't even attempt to foul her.\n\nNot as impressive as Lisa Leslie scoring 101 in a single HALF in high school.


I am going to graduate engineering in roughtly 5-7 years depending if I do a masters or Ph.D However if I have a B.S how hard will it be to find a job, and how much will my salary be. I am thinking about bio-medical engineering or chemical, anything that has medicine. Anything imput will help.

It seems the job market for biomedical engineers will have a much faster than average growth over the next several years. Chemical engineers will see average growth in their job market over the next few years. You can find lots more specific information at the website below...it is an invaluable tool for anyone researching different occupations. Good luck!


Say, about 1 -100 kg. Would it absorb the planet, or wolud it stabalize itself in the core?

A 100 kg black hole would be incredibly small. A black hole is an object that has a density so great its escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. For a 100 kg weight to be that dense it would have to have a radius smaller than 1.48*10^-25 meter. That´s smaller than a quark. If such an absurd object could form it would still be just a 100 kilo weight. It wouldn´t suck the earth in. Immediately... Earth still weighs more. It would simply fall towards earth but when it reaches the surface it would just keep on falling as it would be too small to hit anything. It would fall straight through the core and start falling upwards until gravity would make it settle there. Eventually though some matter in the core would come so close it would be captured by it. Remember that an object would have to move faster than the speed of light to escape a black hole. So the mass of the black hole would increase with time, feeding on earth. And as its mass grows it would capture matter in an increasingly greater rate. Eventually you would have a black hole with the mass of earth (+100 kg) orbiting the sun instead of the lush, blue planet we all know and love.


etf's, real gold in safety deposit box, gold mining companies? I'm looking for inflation protection.

You can buy jewellery or gold bars or go for something more like...Gold-linked bonds and structured notes\n \n>A number of the world's largest bullion dealers and investment banks issue gold linked bonds in various forms. Typically, these products provide investors with some combination of:\n1-Exposure to gold price fluctuations\n2-A yield\n3-Principal protection \n \nThis link has some good stuff you can check - I use it to track the troy ounce price every day to keep a watch for one client...\n\nYou can register to this web and access more on gold...talk to a investment advisor as well...their are other good commodities too...


I want to pursue this goal in an amaerican college but i live in Jamaica. how can i do this

Ok. I am new at this and me and my boyfriend have been going out for two months now and I don't know what to get him for Valentines day. Please help and soon.

What kind of guy is he?  Tech geek, Jock, into cars.  That makes a diff.  Also how much do you want to spend?  Does he play video games?  You can get games for under 20.00.  Or a cd he likes.  It just depends on your guy.


Actually, since the 60's and the 70's Greece's education policy has had an eye to multi-culturalism (which is to which I assume you refer by heterogeniety rather than to the types of courses offered) as a nod to the move toward courting EU membership and offering an adequate education to foreigners residing in Greece (up to 10 percent of the population).\n\nThe Greek government was also looking to transform Greece from a sending state to a host state, which would necessitate accomodating the children of immigrants.  I'm not really sure to what you refer when you say "oriental in their needs" "eastern" referring to the immigrants to Greece?


i have an incredibly bad reputation in most social enviornents, mainly because of my various neurological disorders, (im sane, trust me) also people can just insult me, and get away with it. its been like this long enough that it doesn't offend me much, but i am still shocked that people can be so cruel. any way for me to prevent this

If your bad reputation has spawned from something that puts a damper on your life, then maybe it should be removed, bad reputations usually have some truth to it.However if your rep has been created from something that should not be chastised, be your self and those who doesn't accept you for you don't deserve to be your friend anyway. I know this is easier said than done but pretending to be some one you are not will make you very depressed and lonely.Just be truthful!


Do you tell them to "give up", and allow the child to make their own decisions, right or wrong? Or do you "never give up" on your child. Continually going to their rescue causes more codependency...but giving up might result in the death of the child (in this case the child is now a young adult).

Never give up. Ever. Giving up is just like sending the child to their grave. And who will continue to love this person if not the mother, father, or both? Everyone can be helped. Yes, everyone.


What are some differences between the two?

I regret to say that you will not get there full explanation: the subject is not so simple.\nWhat do you intend to get from your computer? If - toying, mailing, browsing, XP will be enough for you. Note that last MAC operating systems are BSD-UNIX-based: they are professional OS'es. You can get with them everything you want -- but you will also learn a lot of (very interesting!) things...


I'm trying to write a resume and just can't figure out the best way. can someone please help me?

Below are some sample resumes for your reference:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.\n4. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nOther good references are:\nhttp://www.vault.com\nhttp://www.wetfeet.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.


can someone please tell me what is the difference between these three:  (in algrbra context)\n\nfactorize\nexpand\nsimplify\n\n\nthanks :)

Megami of Nekro is mostly correct, but I will try to clarify the situation a bit. \n\n1. factorize, or factor\n\nIf you have an algebraic expression that can be described as the product of some simpler expressions, to rewrite the expression as this product is to factorize it. \n\nSuppose you want to factorize the polynomial x^2 -3*x. In the case of polynomials of some degree, we regard polynomials of lower degree as simpler. In this case, the polynomial x^2-3*x is of degree 2, because the biggest power of x is 2 (the x^2 term). The lower degree polynomials in this case are of degree 0, called numbers, and of degree 1, called monomials. We can write the polynomial x^2-3*x as the product of lower order polynomials in the following way:\n\nx^2-3*x=x(x-3)\n\nThe two monomials x and (x-3) are factors of the polynomial x^2-3*x, and by expressing the polynomial as a product of two lower order polynomials, we have "factorized it" or "factored it". \n\n\nHere is another one:\n\nx^4+2x^2+1 is factorized as \n(x^2+1)(x^2+1)\n\nWith grade 8 mathematics, you cannot go any farther than this. We replaced a 4th degree polynomial with the product of its two factors, two 2nd degree polynomials (remember, we have decided that lower degree polynomials are simpler)\n\n\nAside: It is also interesting to note that one can factor whole numbers sometimes into a product of smaller whole numbers, which we regard as simpler. Therefore, \n\n10=5*2\n\nand 24=2*2*2*3\n\nThis is also called factoring. Numbers that can be expressed this way are called composite numbers. Numbers that cannot be expressed this way are called prime numbers (the real definition is slightly more complicated: you can look it up).\n\n2. Expand\n\nTo expand an expression is usually the opposite of factorizing. You multiply all the parts of the expression, at least as much as you can, using the distributive law, etc. \n\nIn the case of the expression x(x-3), we multiply our two monomials and return to the polynomial x^2-3*x:\n\nx(x-3)=x^2-3*x\n\nHere is another example. To expand\n\nx*(y-2)*(z+5)*y\n\nwe just multiply these factors together, \n\n x*(y-2)*(z+5)*y=\n(xy-2x)*(zy+5y)=\nxzy^2+5xy^2-2xzy-10xy\n\n\n\n3. Simplify\n\nThere is some ambiguity about what it means to simplify an expression. Computer algebra programs that simplify expressions sometimes use one definition of the simplest expression, and sometimes another. It all really depends on what shows up the features you are more interested in at the time. \n\nUsually to simplify an expression you have to do things like:\n\na. add up any like terms\n\nTo simplify  5x + 2y+ 2x+3+4, we add the terms with just numbers in them, and add the terms with just xs in them:\n\n5x + 2y+ 2x+3+4=7x+2y+7\n\nb. Multiply any numbers that can be multiplied\n\n5*2*x+2+y simplified is usually 10x+y+2\n\nc. Usually, when one simplifies an expression, the big powers are presented first, and the small powers follow (or sometimes vice versa).\n\nx+x^3+x^2 can be simplified as either \n\nx^3+x^2+x or x+x^2+x^3, depending on taste, the needs of the moment, etc.\n\n\nd. Usually when simplifying, any numbers or polynomials in ratios that can be divided will be\n\nSo 10/6 is often simplified as 5/3\n\nAnd (x^2-3*x)/x is often simplified as x-3\n\nHopefully that should get you started.

Nno, you are not overweight.  Check out your body mass index (BMI) on this website:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm\n\nyour BMI is about 19.5 which is a little on the light side for your size.  Man, you are one tall pre-teen.  I'm a full-grown man, and I'm only 5'8.  Your body bascially won't stop growing until around your early twenties.


The state terminated my parental rights and had no legal reason to do so.  My rights were violated on numerurous occasions by DCFS. I got all satisfactory marks on my service plans and yet they still terminated my parental rights and stole my daughter away.  I have always had custody of my autistic son, but I am not a "fit" parent for my loving little girl??  They broke my heart, they stole my life away, they stole her mom away from her and her big brother who loves her so much.  They pulled her loving arms from my neck and left me crying.  I was told it was our last visit.  That was 5 years ago.  I am angry.  I want her back and I want her to know how much we love her.  They are robbing her and us of our liberty and of our rights.  Something must be done.  I wish someone would help us pro-bono to help us right a wrong.   PLEASE???  By looking at the appeal my public defender made, it looks like I should have won, but I did not.  I was told I was not allowed to attend.  Help.  PLEASE!!

I hate to tell you this but you are out of luck. DCFS in Illinois has Carte-Blanche to do whatever they please. A court will always rule in thier favor even when they have been proven wrong.


A few years ago my husband and I saw this on the new Headbangers Ball. The chorus is " I work my fingers to the bone" and the dude is actually singing, not just grumbling the lyrics. In the video I remember the singer had short curly brown hair and a beard. We would love to know the name of the song and who does it, but we haven't had much luck in finding out because thats about all we remember about it.


i will mainly be using the laptop for internet usage, downloading music and videos, and school work. want something fast but i dont want to pay for stuff im not going to use or need.

1. Processor Speed. It should be Pentium M.\n2. RAM - 512 MB Minimum\n3. Hard Drive - 60 GB Minimum\n4. Wireless Card - In Build is better - go for 54 MBPS\n5. Screen size- your choice.\n6. If you are mobile user - battery life is important.\nWith all these, most important is PRICE\nI check http://www.dealsofamerica.com for deals in general and I see lots of great laptop deals there

Genetics (from the Greek genno γεννώ= give birth) is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. The word genetics was first suggested to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation by the British scientist William Bateson in a personal letter to Adam Sedgwick, dated April 18, 1905. Bateson first used the term genetics publicly at the Third International Conference on Genetics (London, England) in 1906.\n\nHumans applied knowledge of genetics in prehistory with the domestication and breeding of plants and animals. In modern research, genetics provides important tools for the investigation of the function of a particular gene, e.g., analysis of genetic interactions. Within organisms, genetic information generally is carried in chromosomes, where it is represented in the chemical structure of particular DNA molecules.\n\nGenes encode the information necessary for synthesizing the amino-acid sequences in proteins, which in turn play a large role in determining the final phenotype of the organism. In diploid organisms, a dominant allele on one chromosome will mask the expression of a recessive gene on the other. The phrase to code for is often used to mean a gene contains the instructions about how to build a particular protein, as in the gene codes for the protein. The "one gene, one protein" concept is now known to be simplistic. For example, a single gene may produce multiple products, depending on how its transcription is regulated. Genes code for the nucleotide sequences in mRNA, tRNA and rRNA, required for protein synthesis


I recently played around with my uxtheme.dll and ran into some issues. I tried to system restore, no matter what restore point I chose it doesn't work. I'm not sure how to fix this. I view re-formatting as my last option, because of the amount of documents, internet history [passwords], software, etc. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you!

System restore only work if you created a restore point ,and if your computer has any kind of virus the system restore would not work because the virus is already spread,the only way to fix this is to kix your window system with the windows cd,you have to fix it in the dos mode,,just insert the cd inside you cd drive and check your boot order ,the installation will go on until you have a choose eother format and install a new windows or repair ,now you cohsse the perair mode and wait till it finishs.....Good Luck  :)

I had a dream that i could have an orgasm just by thinking about it and when i woke up i was soaking wet like i had just had an orgasm.

So you woke up soaking wet but did you actually have a big "O"?  I would say you don't really have to reach the climax and therefore I agree with the other people that already answered... that dream qualifies as a wet dream.  So to answer your question" YES! And that's what you experienced.  Was it everything you expected it to be?\n\ncali_rich_and_smooth@yahoo.com\nhttp://profiles.yahoo.com/crazy_monkey_jr010

If a group of people are all way ostasizing you from being socialible with them how do you make friends. or are you to remain a friendless soul for the rest of your life.

I once heard that if you think someone doesn't like you, they probably won't, anyway they aren't worth your time and energy.  You sound like a very special and intelligent person which deserves better.  Having one close friend, family member or mentor is as important or even more important than being "popular" or "accepted" in a large group.  Love yourself, you are the last person you need to fear since you know yourself better than anyone else.  Reasearch "mentoring agencies" in your area or "warm lines" to connect with people that will appreciate you for your valuable contributions to our society.  OUR SOCIETY NEEDS YOU a whole lot more than the "cliques" you feel you are being "ostracized" from.  Thank you and keep your chin up, literally, since confidence in yourself is the only acceptence you really need.


erm, they have claws and teeth that help them catch prey. They have two eyes pointing forward that helps them to see prey adn assess the distance to it better than if they were on the side of the head.

I've cleared the portway through my firewall already, and the download rate is great, but I almost never get any upload connection. I remember my friend trying to download directly off me, we got the connection and he could see all my files, but he couldn't download any of them. Any ideas?.

You probably have DSL (which is really ADSL, which\nstands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line).\n\nThe reason that it is "asymmetric" is that it is\ndesigned to provide much higher download speeds than\nit does for uploads (since most home users are *much*\nmore interested in downloads than uploads).\n\nIf you want to provide a service, you might consider\nusing one of the "hosting" sites.  Some are really \ninexpensive, and they probably have much better\nconnectivity than you do.


HOWEVER, as soon as VIAGRA came out, they were more than willing to cover it.  Now, South Dakota has banned abortion.  What gives?  Do these unsettling facts bother you?

It is a popular belief that men make and spend more than women because they are "supposed" to take care of their family. If it comes to what a man needs, insurance is on it. They don't have to pay for birth control because in the long run in reality they don't have to raise or support their offspring. The courts don't help woman, the law doesn't help women, and the insurance companies, even though they are more than happy to take our premiums, do not help women. Look at the government. How many women do you see there. They keep enough to where the men don't get in trouble but how many are there? As women we just have to suck it up I guess.


Capital, synchronic, historical, dycronic & Grundrisse

For Karl Marx, the basic determining factor of human history is economics. According to him, humans — even from their earliest beginnings — are not motivated by grand ideas but instead by material concerns, like the need to eat and survive. This is the basic premise of a materialist view of history. At the beginning, people worked together in unity and it wasn’t so bad. \n\nBut eventually, humans developed agriculture and the concept of private property. These two facts created a division of labor and a separation of classes based upon power and wealth. This, in turn, created the social conflict which drives society. \n\nAll of this is made worse by capitalism which only increases the disparity between the wealthy classes and the labor classes. Confrontation between them is unavoidable because those classes are driven by historical forces beyond anyone’s control.

I think of it as performing a good deed or social work, but they often fall in love.

Sure. I do it all the time. Thrills them to pieces. I'm just a regular Boy Scout, doing my good deed. You'd be amazed at how much Ch.

Is it called Image Mapping? Am I looking for something different?

What it sounds like you want to use is an "imagemap" in HTML.  This will allow you to specify an image and then define sections of the image (as rectangular coordinates) that map to your links.\n\nThis is done using the <img> and <map> elements.  I've provided a link below with a tutorial on how to create an imagemap.

I like our President do not get me wrong. But could you imagine all the responsibilty that man has. Always being scrutinized for everything. Always trying to keep is family safe. Our country safe. I give this man credit. You really have to be a strong person to deal with everything...

President Bush has had to tackle major hurricane devastations in the south, the 9-11 attacks, the floods in the Ohio valley,  rising gas prices that are threatening our economy, major economic slowdowns that began years before he took office and the continuing threat of terrorist activity on our soil without appearing alarmist. I think he has had to deal with more critical major events that any other president in recent history and is saddled with a bureaucracy that would take years to revamp to adequately handle these. Also he sees that there are probable crises approaching such as Social Security failure and the lack of adequate healthcare for many people but can do nothing right because the public cannot agree to a good solution for these. I think considering all he has had to deal puts him among the best leaders we have although many people currently only judge him by his unpolished speaking ability. I think he will be overlooked for the work he has done because he is not everyone's idea of a movie star. It is like John Kennedy getting credit for being some kind of civil rights saint while Johnson was the guy who did the work in getting it all passed.


What is the Normal level, of HBA1C?\nI have developed Cataract, in BOTH MY EYES.

HbA1c stands for Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c.  This is a blood test to see what your blood glucose has been doing for the past 120 days.  The normal range is 4-6%.  Levels over 8% indicate poor diabetic control.  Also, normal blood glucose levels are 70 - 110, but if you are diabetic your normal might be on a different level.  I would guess that your cataracts are unrelated to the diabetes.


athlon 64, celeron m, mobile athlon 64, mobile sempron, pentium m or turion 64.\n\nI want to be able to play video games and do office work as well without having to upgrade for a while

In a head to head comparison, AMD soundly defeated Intel in the gaming category playing Half-Life 2 (and costs less).  The AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ finished first in ALL categories.  Most of the games on the market now don’t take advantage of the multiple processing threads of the dual-core CPU’s, but newer games coming out will perform better with these by taking full advantage.  Good luck in whatever you choose…and happy gaming.


Reality check: Al Qaida doesnt exsist as an organized force. It is a make-believe enemy to justify sending forces to different world regions inorder to secure resources to make profit for those controlling the us government. The same ones that control your media - they lie to you. American friends - WAKE UP until its too late. Greetings from Europe

Al Qaida is a very real thing, an organized successful force that has met many of it's objectives in the Western World.  Anyone that feels that this is not a very organized group must have been asleep on 9/11/2001 when they carried out the most successful terrorist attacks the world has ever seen.  Their presence is felt in Iraq on a daily basis, plus they have carried out very successful attacks throughout Europe as well.  Yes, the media in the world gives a very slanted view of things, but that holds true for the Arab News Industry as well.  Yes we have a system of lobbyists working within our political system, but that is the way our political system is set up to work, I personally believe that area has been allowed to much leaway, yet it is the way the system was set up and lobbying is not an illegal activity even if some of the activity is found to be illegal.  That is the exception and not the norm.  All politicians just as the media tell things as they see it, sometimes this can be very close to being an outright lie to some and seem to be the truth to others.  You are not going to please everybody all the time someone is always calling someone a liar, yet sometimes that is only perspective and not the real view.  Al Qaida is a very real threat to the Western World and to the U.S. in particular and for us to decide that the threat is all a lie would be to fall into the trap that started World War II, apeasement, and that is not going to happen in our time.  In your view we are being lied to, because you want it to be lies, it is all in the perspective.


I know you ppl must be thinkin--Huh? She doesn't know what it means?--anyway...pls give me an answer FAST!!


because when an object moved in a circulatory movement it needs a centrifigal force to stay on a circle path when it loses that force it will be kicked off the circle path so the mud needs force to remain attached to the wheel and travel in a circle path and since the attachment force between the wheels and mud are not enough to make a centifigal force to keep the mud in circle path , the mud will be kicked off


i am not sure what happen to us but he told me that he's still in love with me. apparantly he doesnt seems to care as before, doesnt seems to spend his time as before. reasons: he is trying to concentrate on his carier to save the money for us in the future. no longer have the time to go to the cinema as before. reasons: he's too busy as a lecturer in a private college. no longer have time for tea or dinner.. reasons: i am having my dinner with family. im quite sick with his thousands words. what happen to us? we've been dating for 6 years and suppose to get enggage by the end of this year. i hate to say that we are falling apart. but it seems that he doesnt try to mantain the relationship if he kept on behave like this... shoot me the best advice or thoughts that you have bout this. what's really goin on?

Men want to be able to take care of and provide for their families. He's not leaving you or anything like that. He's just trying to give you the best life he can. You should try to be supportive of him.

I need tips on presenting so I can get an A+\n(i usually get As but I still would like tips)

Make sure you project your voice, and make your voice interesting and expressive.  Speak clearly, and slower than you would if you were just chatting with friends.  Don't move around while speaking - try to stand in one spot, which makes it easier for those listening.  Don't fidget.  Try to use some humor.  Use an ice breaker for the beginning of your presentation.  One good one is to get everyone to tell something they have done that they think no one else in the room has done. You find out lots of interesting stuff about the group.  Start on time and finish on time.  Get their attention - don't try to talk over a lot of noise.  Find ways to involve them - try to plan some activity that will teach them something and that will fit well in your time frame.  Dress in a manner that suits your topic.


It's Matt's birthday today and I'd like to send him a card!


So, im in fifth grade right, and we were talking one morning and one of my friends is wanting to go out with a girl named Chloe. Har har. So am I supposed to be dating now too????????

The term boyfriend and girlfriend in 5th grade is not the same as dating.  In 5th grade having a girl/boyfriend consists of talking or IMing.  Dating is a bit different.  And no if you dont want to have that kind of special friend then  no you are not supposed to.  You will know when you are ready.


I had sex 2 days ago on Monday, on Tuesday night I went to a dance and wore no underwear while dancing. Tonight I noticed 2 small bumps around my vaginal area. Could these be an STD or some form of a heat rash? They don't hurt unless they are like squeezed, it doesn't hurt to urinate or anything else like that....so what could it be? Should I be worried? Does an STD show up this early after sex?

it could be a mild herpies infection. there are two types one is quite mild and one can be a b*tch. you should go to the doctor and get tested while the bumps are active ( culture) its better to know as this can be spread to the eyes and other areas of the skin. \nit may also be an allergic reaction to soap or other health care product.  \n  it  could be just a couple of pimples. only u and your doctor can tell for sure so dont put off a visit , ok


why some people not express their feeling to his or her love ones, how much he or she love  there lover y

Main reason that they have is, if they express it to thier lover,  i.e. she / he may get hurt for their expression or their doing and the fear of breaking of their love may occur.  This is sure that they will express only after they get married or before their relationship breaks. cause they fear of loosing one another.


I am so frustrated with this!  I have called my internet tech support and even they were totally confused, Ive also spoke to HP but they were no help at all.  The tech support people said that Norton is the reason why I cant get to ebay or sign in to my email accounts.  \n\nWhen I go to add/remove programs and try to remove Norton, a box pops up that says "setup has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I have tried every way possible on my own and through tech support and it will not uninstall.  Ive also tried going to the norton website and reinstalling it again just to see what happens and it says Im already updated.  \n\nI have tried literally everything known, disabling all Norton/Symantec programs, changing my settings to an earlier date and even a new browser and still no help!\n\nI dont know what else to do....please help!!  I need to get to ebay because I have a store and I need to check my emails!\n\nIf it helps, I am running Windows XP.

ues u can remove norton by going to the control panelthen add and remove programs and then download AVGfree antivirus for ur computer.

A lot of ppl are fat.. and they are very losers because of that.. and as I am one of these ppl.. I would really appreciate any help from anyone in this subject.. and specially if you have experience in this.. thanks for all your help anyway.. Agent

I have recently lost 65 pounds & I will tell you what has helped me. When I first started walking in our local park I could hardly walk just a little. I started taking music with me in my walkman & I also use my exercise time to pray & talk to the lord. I quit drinking whole milk & slowly switched to skim milk. I quit eating things that are fried & if I happen to eat fried things I switched to olive oil. I quit using butter & switched to the I cant believe its not butter spray. Each day you exercise you will be able to do more & more each day. Small changes like swithcing from whole milk to skim really pay off. I also will work out at the gym a couple of times each week. but you dont have to join the gym for results. also right before lunch & dinner I eat a couple of hand fulls of raw carrots with fat free salad dressing & I drink plenty of water. That helps you to feel full & it has helped me to cut down on the amount of food I eat. when you lose just 1 pound you really start feeling so good about yourself. Then when everyone else sees your progress & they tell you they notice you've lost weight you get such a huge natural high. Its really all about the portion sizes you eat & exercise. Watching what you eat & exercise goes hand in hand & you cant do one without the other. If its just getting out & walking for 5 or 10 minutes each day that works. just keep doing it each day till you can build it up to 30 minutes & then before you know it you'll be going an hour each day. Also if you like company get someone that is encouraging to work out with you. If you love music like I do take it with you cause it really helps.  Also stop putting yourself down. YOU ARE NOT A LOSER. God bless you & I wish you the best luck!!! You are going to do it & you are gonna be just fine!!!


any links to websites with the answers would be greatly appreciated

If the company was bought by overseas investors then the company can be sold to another group of overseas investors or to another group on american investors but it cannot be sold to the same company because they already own the company.\nIf you buy your neighbour's house you can sell it back to your neighbour but if you buy ReMax (It's a Companty) you cannot sell back ReMax to ReMax because ReMax is now yourself.

We are 15 and 13 and we have two younger sisters 11 and 7 and we feel like they get our parents attention more. Anything we can do to fix this?

There's nothing you can really do. This happens to older siblings. You could try telling your parents, but they won't see there is a problem. You could try to think of it differently. For instance, the reason your parents don't pay as much attention could be that they trust you enough to look after yourself.
