I've decided to read the Bible from beginning to end, and I just finished the book of Joshua. Why do you think the Lord ordered Joshua, Moses, and their men to slaughter their enemy tribes (all men, women, and children - CHILDREN!) because they were pagans? How would you reconcile this warlike God with the God of the New Testament, who asks that we reach out to and love even our enemies and those of other faiths?

You ask a very good question. God at times seems inconsistent. God in the Old Testament was showing how Holy He is and that He does not tolerate sin. Pagans were sinful people who rejected God. They had to be dealt with severely. Granted the Jews also were sinful but God had chosen them as the people thru whom He would redeem the world.\n\nIn the New Testament God is showing His grace. Thru the Jews by way of the Jewish Messiah He provided a way for redemption and forgiveness.\n\nWe must never forget that God is Holy who cannot be in the presence of evil. He is just and wrathful and will execute His justice. \n\nGod is also merciful and gracious. He forgives those who come to Him thru the atonement of Jesus. \n\nJesus represents this truth. John 1:14 (NASB): And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.   \n\nGod is both Grace and Truth. \n\nHe is showing His wrath at the pagans but His grace to the Jews.  Remember God chose Israel. They did nothing to cause Him to choose them. That was a demonstration of God’s grace. And today He shows His grace to all who will come but He will show His wrath to all who reject Him.\n\nGod is consistently a God of grace and truth, justice and mercy, holiness and love, separate from His creation yet intimate with it.\n\nI hope that helps.


been dwn about 35 years want to remove old wax waht ever is on it

Even if you have serious ecology & health concern, still you may want to make an informative decision and choose the best chemical on the market, relevant to your criteria. You may want to use a lot of online sources: e-opinon.com, bizrate.com etc., newsgroups etc. Home made cleaner could be much more dangerous and expensive solution.\nBig competition and huge volume of manufactiring in the industry made the best cleaning chemicals available for pennies. You could even order them for free, as samples in frames of some advertizement programs.


If someone wanted to move the planet mercury to a higher orbit which type of drive would do the best job?\n\n1. An ion drive that collected charged particles from the solar wind.\n\n2. A magnetic drive that pushed against the suns magnetic field\n\n3. Something else (please describe).

Ah.. Get back with us if a few years..... lol\nThen we'll KNOW the answer.\n\nBut I would think #3.  Mount a rocket motor on it. It's got a lot of mass to get moving with the other methods not being, today, that efficient.

Is there someone who can help me carry out my research paper? My topic: The American Presidential Election : an Example of true democracy. The main problem I have is about the approach. I know nothing about any approach. I you can feel free. Thanks!

From the title, it sounds like the topic assumes the conclusion that the presidential election is an example of true democracy -- unless you put a question mark at the end of the title, in which case the paper would be answering the question of whether the presidential election is an example of true democracy.\n\nIn any event, you might want to try defining some terms as part of your approach.  What is a "democracy"?  Then, what do you mean to add by saying "true" democracy?  (Are you focusing more on technicalities or on spirit?)  We know that American presidential elections involve the weird electoral college procedure, and that it's possible (though very rare) for the winner to win even though another candidate received slightly more votes from regular voters.  Maybe that's a pretty minor thing, though.\n\nAlso, in America, lots of people don't bother voting.  Does that diminish democracy?  They are not prevented from voting, they just choose not to.  So no one ever actually gets elected by a majority of the people, but rather only by a majority of people who decided to vote.  That's people's choice, of course, but does it change the idea of "democracy" at all?


What are all the solutions for 1)phi(n) = 10 and 2)phi(n) = 12? Also, prove that phi(n) = 14 has no solutions.

phi(n)=10 ... n=11\nphi(n)=12 ... n=13, 21\n\n14=2x7=phi(3)xphi(n), where phi(n)=7. But phi(n)=7 has no solution.


From my experience , its like a real black man should not have to prove or COVER- UP has blackness like kinky hair, full lips or his height or body build.

That is not all women of color but some of them you know i'm not that type of person and i never well be. Because when you judge a book by it's cover then you are wrong so i really think that being natural is great think to be


. sometimes i have late dinners and will be very tired and sleepy. .

Try not to have too late a meal. Your body needs time to digest, and being asleep sure doesnt allow that to happen in the best way.\n     Take a walk after your meal, should help with the digestion, and as a bonus it's a little exercise.


During the first reaction of uranium with a neutron produces 2 neutrons, which takes one second. The preceding reaction produces 4 neutrons and so on. How can you calculate the amount of seconds it takes to react with an amount of uranium?

It depends.\n1) In nuclear power plants a moderator is used to reduce the neutrons' velocity and the chain reaction rate is thereby controlled.\n\nA typical 1000 MWe nuclear power station uses only about 24 tonnes per year of uranium fuel.\nwww.aph.gov.au/house/committee/isr/uranium/subs/sub5.pdf\nOR\nhttp://www.uic.com.au/whyu.htm\n\nThe average reaction rate would calculate as follows:\n\n(24 tonnes/year) X (1000 kilograms/tonne) x (year/365 days)=\n                 66 kilograms/day (about 145 pounds a day)\n\n                   OR\n(66 kilograms/day) x day/24 hours x hour/60 minutes x 1000grams/kilogram =\n\n                 46 grams every minute \nThis is the weight of one typical (1.55 ounce) candy bar!\n\n2) In a nuclear bomb the neutrons are not moderated.\nThe reaction time for a bomb is 1/1000 second. (Complicated quote below.)\n\n "An explosion is an interplay between the total amount of energy released, energy density, and the time in which the energy is released. The time factor is perhaps the easiest to define. While there is no exact definition of reaction time for an explosion, we use one millisecond as a reasonable value to distinguish a steady-state regime from an explosive regime."                      \n\nhttp://www.ieer.org/ensec/no-6/fusion.html\n\nThe reaction rate calculation for a very small bomb (10 kilograms):\n\n10 kilograms / 1/1000 seconds = 10,000 kilograms/second !\n                       OR\n                217,391 candy bars per second!\n\nSummary:\n Nuclear Power Plant - Chain Reaction Rate \n 1 candy bar per minute\n\n Nuclear Bomb - Chain Reaction Rate\n 217,391 candy bars per second\n\nI haven't calculated candy bars per minute (Nuclear Bomb) because no one can eat that many in a minute.\n\n- Stan the Answer Man


If a snow plow is clearing snow off an overpass with an expressway below with speed limit of 65, and pushes over and drops a huge chunk of densly packed snow over the 3 foot concrete barrier along the edge of the overpass that lands on the windshield of a car below that's traveling at least 65 almost causing a fatal accident, but does cause slight damage to the car, is there any liability on anyone's part to protect the motorists from below as for bridge construction or extra barriers - either on part of the town or county (the oevrpass was a county road with speed limit of 55)? The amount of snow that came over was pretty much close to the threshold of causing the windshield to cave in. The driver maintained control and pulled over a mile down and waited for a trooper to submit an accident report. Overall damage: approx $500. It was said by the trooper that the plow and / or operator was not liable.

I don't understand what you said about the damage. You say that it almost caused a fatal accident, but did cause slight windshield damage. That doesn't sound like a truthful statement. \n\nMost plow operations have rules that exempt them from certain rules of the road and some liability. That would be something a lawyer would have to decide, which could get expensive.\n\nIf all you have in damage is $500, it probably wouldn't be worth it to hire a lawyer and sue. You would wind up spending more money on him that the damage. This is not a cost effective thing to fight, right or wrong. Let you insurance take care of it.


i have a nephew who has a syndrome dont remeber what's it called but he is 5 and does not talk or walk he has weak muscles and he shakes uncontrollaby when sitting down watching tv....my son who is 10 months talks as in baby talk and he crawls normal my nephew couldnt do that until he was 2/3 yrs old...my son can walk if he holds to furniture the only thing is that he shakes when he is sitting down watching tv or when giving him a shower ....my hub and i noticed and this reminded us of our nephew should i be worried?

Please find out what the name of the syndrome is and email me at avaisfree@yahoo.com   I would like to know so that I can search it out on line and I'll let you know what I found out and direct you to the site. Also if I were you I'd take my child to the doctor.


I would like to get "headset service" to run on my bluetooth mobile phone so that I can use it to make VoIP (Skype) calls through my bluetooth PC laptop, instead of having to carry a traditional bluetooth headset around.

As far as I know mobile phones are coded telling itself and other bluetooth devices that it is a phone. I don't think there is a way, altho it's a good idea


and what they will going to do to make that come true?and y they wanna that?

Because that is what written in their false religious books which they wrote by themselves not come from their God and they said in it that they are the best People in the world and they should kill all people in the world because they are not people who should live in their world.


Loosen-up.  If you don't you'll lose your daughter.  She's at the age where your relationship is going to turn one way or another...if you can't sit down and tell her why you don't want her in make-up, do you really expect her to come to you for advice about boys, drugs, and sex?\nAt this age i would allow minimal make-up and monitored "dates" (you taking the two of them to the movies).  She needs to know your on her side.  I don't know what to think of a 16 year old boy being in the picture (most of the time it's 18+) I would really try to let her make her own choices and mistakes.  If you try to forbid something it will usually happen only it will be behind your back.  It's easy to want to protect her, but she's going to get her heart broken and ....Be the person she comes to for advice.

My WIFE is addicted to internet chatting. I think she has a collection of online lovers around the world. She has been deceiving men ages 30 to 60 yrs. old. I hid our webcam so she can't broadcast herself..now, she sends pics (not hers) to her online lovers.  When confronted, she said she was only playing games and having great fun to beat boredom.(My job requires travel a lot). My problem is, she really can't stop... one time i caught her having Voice Chat to one of her lovers at 2:00 a.m. ..I think she's getting way too far & I pity those poor in-love men she has been deceiving. I threatened to cancel our internet subscription.... we had a big fight.  Any suggestions, please?

She's doing this because she gets a bit of excitement by trying to deceive you. Like children do to their parents. This sounds like a battle of wills to me. You want her to behave one way, and she's responding by lying, digging her heels in. She's trying to tell you that she doesn't feel in control of her life, and this is a way she feels that she can do what she wants. When you hide the webcam or threaten to take her 'toy' away, she spits her dummy, because she wants a reason to have a go at you for trying to 'control' her, 'making' her bored by travelling alot. You're just applying practical solutions to your problem (very male!). She is probably lost in a dreamworld while she's chatting to these guys, a world where she is a different person. She can portray herself as anyone she wants to. She probably needs some confidence-boosting but it all boils down to a lack of communication. She doesn't feel she can talk to you about her needs, or perhaps she's tried and she doesn't feel you took her seriously. This situation will only get worse if you don't try to spend some quality time getting to know what her needs are.


Is there a website where I can get such a listing? Including all levels of from local police to the FEDS??

i had temporary caps put on my two front teeth but were unable to get the permanent ones, now the temps have turned yellow

You cannot change the colour of a crown... whether it is an acrylic temporary or a porcelain permanent crown.  The only way to change the shade is to have them removed, remade and placed again.  I'm going to refrain from lecturing on leaving a temporary crown on past the recommended time as it's ill-fitting, etc etc etc & problems are sure to arise from doing so.  See your dentist as soon as possible.

Weakfish and spotted seatrout - spotted seatrout has round spots, weakfish spots are not round. Weakfish has a black margin on the tip of the tongue and yellow inside the mouth, spotted seatrout do not have either.


I am doing a contreversial oratory speech on this subject.

No, it is a good thing.  It is much better than giving them a lifetime of freebies.  The law-abiding have to pay for their food, clothes, medical care, everything they need.  Why should a murderer get all that, and in a lot of cases even more, free for life?\n\nAs for what the families of the condemned "go through" too bad!  Did the killer think about what the victim's family will go through?  The killer made a decision to murder.  The victim's family has to live with that decision. The murder victim had to die a horrible death, the killer gets a nice, peaceful one. The killer gets to say his "tender goodbyee" to his family and gets a last meal before being turned off.  Has any murder victim ever been given a chance to say goodby to their families?  Or a last meal?  I highly doubt it.\n\nAnd at least with the death penalty, that ensures 1000% that that killer will never do it again.\n\nEdit - chris42050:  So, you think the murderer should get to live his life, getting to have visits from his family, (does the murder victim's family get to visit a live person?  Or look at a cold tombstone?) getting to lounge around all day, getting free food, free clothes, free medical and dental care, free cable, free internet, etc?  And you cannot even compare the "suffering" of the murderer's family to the suffering of the victim's family. As I said, at least the murderer's family gets a chance to say "goodby" while the murderer is still alive. Keep in mind the muderer made a decision. The bottom line is I care more about the victims than the criminals.  And maybe if life in prison was truly a punishment, without all the frills I would feel different, but the cry-for-the-criminals liberals would never have it be that way.\n\nAnd as a side note - I have seen on the news plenty of times when an animal is vicious, it is put down.  So, if a human is vicious, the same should be done to them.

What are some characteristics associated with Muslim and Arab Americans that come to be viewed as negatives, but when practiced by christian whites seen as positives?

Don't European-American Christians value strong religious commitments, but view strong Muslim religious commitments as dangerous?  Think about it.\n\nAnd goodness, bridget, you might want to also think about doing SOME of your own homework, and not rely on YahooAnswers to do it ALL for you.


We allow the Judgement of Doctors to instruct us as to the health of our babies, we allow the judgement of Psychiatrist to judge our mental health, we allow the laws to dictate what is right and wrong, we rely on scientists to discover all the answers. Are we too lazy to figure things out for ourselves? Is it not true that one doctor will tell you one thing yet another doctor may tell you the exact opposite? Do you 1st seek out your own answers before turning to them?

I don't think it's so much a matter of people being too dependant on authority as it is a matter of people not wanting to take responsibility for themselves any more. People need to be told what to do nowadays because they don't like thinking for themselves, don't like having to be the one responsible if something happens that they don't like, don't like being the reason for something happening that doesn't benefit themselves.\n\nIt's a sad world that we have birthed, and our children are going to pay dearly for it.

India has a population of over 1 billion. Define common? I was there on vacation and the poverty is terrible. If the person is "middle classs" common then they need to use their abilities/brains/abilities to push forward their progress. Now is a time of importance for India. They have to use all their resources cause everyone is looking at them.


i would say... 3-4 cuz iunno... not feelin well (physically, and mentally)

10!  Absolutely!  Why?  Opportunities.  I have an opportunity to do many things.  I didn't have to be born -though when I was younger sometimes I wondered why I was.  I was given life.  Life was given to me.  With it opportunity was given to me -lots of it.  I love to learn.  I enjoy family.  I enjoy people.  I enjoy experience.\nBad experiences?  Been there, but there is another opportunity to make a better one in the future.\nDon't enjoy family?  You have an opportunity to make one of your own that is enjoyable!\nEven when you are down, (been there too :) remember this:  Tomorrow is another day, another opportunity!\nBeing lonely is an opportunity.  Believe me, I was a VERY lonely person growing up. (no time for details)  What I learned from being lonely I wouldn't trade for ANYTHING!  It was an opportunity to cultivate many virtues that God has helped me with.  I learned to spot OTHER lonely people and make them feel loved -really!  Now I have more friends than a man could ever ask for or deserve!  Never, never, never give up!  Some people would give everything they had to be where you are right now!  How do I know?  You are at a computer which tells me many things about where you are.  Some people don't have food to eat -they wouldn't dream of using a computer.  Give things time.\n\nHope that helps!

I have heard otherwise. What is the truth?

NO THEY CAN NOT!!!! My mother proved this at West Virginia University in the 1960s by walking a cow UP the stairs of one of the sciences buildings.

Is the parliamentary government more adapt to responding to the popular will, and are they more open to public scrutiny?

Under a Parliamentary system, ostensibly there would be more options than only two major parties.  Each special interest group that are now lobbyists would be able to form their own political party and have actual direct input and potential voter support.  \n\nCould you imagine a party full of NRA members?  Or full of Right Wing Christians? Or full of blue collar laborers?  Or full of inner city social workers?  That is kind of what it would be like, with each party clamouring for support on election day.  It would be wonderful to vote for one of these, and one of those, and really be able to vote your concience through choosing a few parties that truly represent your personal beliefs, not a "lesser of two evils" as our current system has become.  \n\nThe president would be the leader of the party that ultimately had won the most seats, the true leader by majority vote, instead of some figurehead elected by college as we now have.  This Prime Minister would be in power only as long as his party was in the majority, so it would make sense for them to adress the issues of the other parties, more so than happens today.


just wondering about this. its the dreaded question in every relationship. how many people have u sleept with? thing is when a guy has slept with a lot of girls he's experienced or a stud. but the girls are ho's and sluts y is that?? does it matter to you how many men ur girlfriends slept with???

The Answer to this question is... YES!!! In this day and age of AIDS and other ST D's it is vital to know the truth about your partner's past love lives. If a person is unable to take the truth, then it is possible that there is no genuine interest.

Will you use this service often??

**Attention Doctors and U.S. Soldiers and Medics of World War 2 and anyone who knows something about this**\nHow did the U.S. Military deal with the renourishment of Nazi Death Camp Survivors and what are the dangers of to much food to fast, and how the body reacts to the reintroduction of carbs, calories, vitamins and minerals in the aftermath of starvation. And what do you need to know about renourishing the nearly starved to DEATH!

The malnourished inmates often suffered from refeeding syndrome when re-nourishment was begun after liberation. \nOne of the main causes of the refeeding syndrome is the potential for starvation-induced low blood levels of phosphorus following intake of foods high in calories or glucose. Phosphorous depletion produces widespread abnormalities in the cardiorespiratory system, which can be fatal. \nIn addition to phosphorous, the refeeding syndrome also evolves due to changes in potassium and magnesium levels. \nFurther, abrupt blood volume expansion and inappropriately aggressive nutritional intake may place excessive strain on the shrunken heart and cause the inability of the heart to maintain adequate circulation.\n\nA really excellent description at the link:


with the changes on the O line, QB, and the secondary, I'm curious

It is looking more and more like Sanchez might be the qb out of spring.  Booty is hurt right now and Sanchez is getting all the reps as a Freshman (he redshirted and was the California Parade All American out of high school).  USC will start the season in the top 5 regardless of who they have lost.  The fact is they are USC and that name alone gets them the ranking.  I would say 1 or 2 losses tops because their schedule caters to them well, but overall i would not be surprised if Sanchez and company whoop up on everyone.  After all if they play MCCoy and Ausberry instead of redshirting them, well they are both 6'4 and one is a receiver, the other a TE.  USC will be on fire once again this season and i am a Fresno State fan admitting this.


I have spent all my life study and learning, before i turned from the books and looked inward for the answers of the universe. I hva egained much more this way than i ever did from any book. What i wonder is... do you think it possble to reach a point of enlightenment when we can give up our bodies and exist as a purer elemnt, like energy or nature which is nether good or bad, just what it is??

First off I'm not Christian, (I have no religion) so i won't yap your ear off with that. \n\nNow, I was interested in your question, but unfortunately have not heard of it outside of the show Stargate SG-1, which is not the best source lol. But I'm glad to see someone with your open-mindedness, so I'd like to help you. Here are some sites I found that I hope will help you on your journey. And as for your question, I'd say someone thinks it's possible. Good luck on your spiritual journey.

See, I am in Third Grade and I love writing about the history of people that have helped me and my family see my dad was born into slavery and he also escaped to the North with Harriet Tubman. Sorry to get off track but here is a part of my report from my studies I learned that Harriet Tubman first escaped to the north by her self then she realized that if she only helped herself she would be selfish and so she made nineteen trips to the south and helped over three hundred people escape from slavery. Again sorry for getting off track but she was against slavery because she said that we should not be judged by the color of our skin and that it is very unfair for white people to own black people.My dad got some slave laws and here they are. \n\nSlave Laws\n1. No one was allowed to teach slaves how to read or write nor were they to be given books or pamphlets.\n\n2. Slaves were not allowed to buy or consume liquor without the written consent of their masters.\n\n3. Slave owners were required to feed and clothe their slaves and take care of their sick and elderly slaves. Failure to do so could result in a fine to the master.\n\n4. Slaves were not allowed to preach, except to their masters' slaves on their own plantation and in presence of white people.\n\n5. Any child who had one free parent and one slave parent was only free if the mother was the free parent.\n\n6. Slaves could not conduct business without a permit or own any personal prperty.\n\n7. Slaves were not allowed to own or have their possession weapons of any kind.\n\n8. The testimony of slaves in court was disallowed exept in those cases involving other slaves.\n\n9. It was illegal to mistreat or kill a slave unless the slave resisted punishment.\n\n10. SLaves were not allowed to strike white men or to insult them in any way.\n\n11. Slaves were never allowed to enter into any kind of legal binding contract, including contracts of marriage.\n\n12. A slave who traveled away from his own plantation had to have a pass to show as a means of identification to any white man who challenged him.\n\n13. Slaves were not allowed to swear, smoke or walk with a cane in public.\n\n14. Slaves had to step aside when whites passed them on a public street.\n\n15. It was illegal for mare than five slaves to gather together away from their own homes unless in the presence of white people.\n\n16. Slaves were not allowed to own their own animals, nor could they grow their own cotton; however, theey could have thier own gardens if thier masters allowed.\n\n17.

I was in a gt (gifted and talented) group in Baltimore MD. i WAS A PRETTY SMART PERSON I MOVED 3 MONTHS AGO AND HERE IM THE SMARTEST IN MY CLASS WHICH IS THE TOP CLASS AND THEY ARE TEACHING THINGS I LEARNED IN 4TH GRADE I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES WHAT DO YOU THINK

Money and need are the keys. Each school is designed to cater to the kids with majority need in that area. If you're the only "smart" kid in your class then why would they create a "gifted" program just for you? \n\nIn cases such as yours, they usually allow the "gifted" kids to take classes in high-schools, or you could get tutored. You have options.\n\nAnd just as an advice for later in life, be humble about stating how "smart" you are and about how you're the "smartest."

I say UNC-Duke.\nBut everyone is entitled to there opinion

I agree with you. UNC and Duke have the biggest rivalry. My family is  a proof of this. ME my dad and my cousin all like UNC while my uncle brother and other cousin are all Duke fans so at the time of the games there is really big competion but its fun. but they are only about 6-8 miles apart so its hands down the best rivalry!!


("Methanol vapor burning in a plastic jug" = "alcohol rocket car" = "whoosh bottle alcohol explosion")\n\nI'm a sophomore, in high school, and this is my chosen end-of-the-semester demonstration. Problem is, I have a lot of problems answering some obvious questions as I was doing it.\n\n1. Why is there a blue (then magenta/red/pink and orange) flame? What causes this; is it the oxygen exposure?\n\n2. What causes the loud "whoosh" sound?\n\n3. Why is the jug hot?\n\n4. Why do we wait for the methanol to vaporize?\n\n5. What does oxygen contribute to this reaction?\n\n6. How is water and carbon dioxide the products of methanol?\n\n7. Where in the world is the water (one of the product) derived from? \n\nKeep in mind that I was using methanol, not ethanol or any other kind of alcohol, in this demo.\n\nAlso, I would really love to have these answers as soon as possible. \n\nThank-you so much!

1. No it's the methanol is a highly explosif gas.  It absorbs heat very quickly which is what makes the flame change color\n2. the whoosh sound is created by the oxygen trying to get in and the methanol trying to get out very quickly from a very small hole\n3.The jug is extremly hot because the methanol would explode if it was in contact with oxygene.  Since inside the jug, there is practicly no oxygene, it holds heat.  This is why the jug gets hot because inside it is holding heat in.\n4.  If we didnt wait for the methanol to vaporise, it would create an explosion and you would prolly die.  \n5. For a fire (explosion) to happen, you need 3 elements, heat, a burner and a burning (soryy i dunno if those are the rigth terms, i learned them in french)  The thing getting burned is always the oxygen (alone or with an organic material such as wood or paper)  Without oxygene the metanol wouldnt explode\n6.  I'm not too sure about this one, but it's probably with the moleculs.  Water is H2O and carbone dioxide is CO2.  Methanol must be a mix of those two moleculs.  Did the teahcer give you the molecular equation?\n7.  The water comes from the reaction.  You have to look at you molecular equation ( each prodoct at the beiginning and at the end)  Water is H2O  so it means that the reaction seperated moleculs from the methanol and those moleculs got paired up with some others that creat H2O. Basiclly a reaction is just moleculs getting broken and reformed with other moleculs.  Im not sure but i would guess in the methanol's moleculs, there is hydrogen (highly explosif, what creates the burning) and that hydrogen moleculs would form water with the oxygen that is burnign

Need help please:\nThe diameter of a circle is 50 cm. and the distance between a chord of the circle and the center is 20 cm. How long is the chord?\n\nI missed this lesson sometime last week and I can find any online resouces.. So a link.. or even better a solution would be very much appreciated.  Thanks!

Draw all this out so you can see it - it won't be to scale, but don't let that fool you.....\n\n\ndiameter = 50cm (radius = 25cm)\nchord = 20cm from diameter (thus it's 20cm from the center)\n\nOK, you'll need to assume that the line segment forming the diameter touches the chord at point B on the circle - i.e. we'll say the diameter is line segment AB and the chord is line segment DB. \n\nC is the center of the circle, so we have radius CB = 25cm. \n\nAlso, we'll have line segment CE drawn perpendicular from the center (C) to point E on the chord, forming a right angle and thus *bisecting* chord DB.\n\nYou have the hypotenuse of triangle ECB (radius CB) as 25cm, and side EC as 20cm (distance from the center to the chord - always perpendicular).\n\nLine segment EB will be the second side of a right triangle, so your formula:\n\nEC^2 + EB^2 = CB^2\n20^2 + EB^2 = 25^2\nEB^2 = 25^2 - 20^2\nEB^2 = 625 - 400 = 225\nEB = 15cm\n\nSince EB = half the length of the chord DB, DB = 2*15cm = 30cm.

I want to buy a geforce 6200 agp 256mb video card.  I am cheap, but I don't mind spending a little more for quality.\n  \nShould I buy an eVGA video card for $55 with shipping, or should I get the higher quality ASUS video card for $70 with shipping?  Is ASUS $15-worth of higher quality?  How about an NVidia brand for $67?\n\nI have an ASUS mb, AMD Athlon 2400+.

If the eVGA card will do what you want it to, then buy it. Your system sounds like it's a few years old, so I wouldn't spend too much to upgrade it. nVidia (geforce) cards are definitely a better choice performance wise than what ATI offers in your price range. Check online to see if you can find benchmarks for the three cards you are considering and see how they stack up.


Someone told me that they have just found a new planet. Is this true?

Yes, and the people who found it honestly want to have it called Xena.\n\nOn July 29, 2005, a Trans-Neptunian object called 2003 UB313 was announced, which on the basis of its magnitude and simple albedo considerations is assumed to be larger than Pluto. This caused its discoverers to call it the "10th planet" of the solar system, although there is no consensus yet on whether to call it a planet, and others consider the new discovery to be the strongest argument yet for demoting Pluto to the status of a minor planet.\n\nBut until then, it's being refered to as Planet X.


It was just a beginning .I fall in love with her and she was hiding her feelings from me \nI was in puzzles .She loves me or not.She was trying to save our relationship as an office colleges but I was trying to win her heart so I can marry her.I was tried to catch her likes or dislike so I can attract her by doing that.She was not sharing her feeling with me I was the only person who was mostly talking and talking.She was judging me but I was still looking tips to win her heart.Some time I was thinking that she just pushing the time by entertaining her self and at the end she will kick me out.So I begin to point out smell sort of things.Like……Her favorite color, dressing, food, drinks.I was watching her when she was with some one in office so I can understand which topic catch her consideration how she like some one who is talking with her.I was reading her face expiation.Till I found her she likes to chat on internet by her massager .She gets very excited when she was chatting.

Ouch, you listened to the wrong suggestion my friend. Hacking into something like that is very wrong and abusive. If she's not answering she may have you on ignore, meaning she isn't going to see you contacting her. You've done right by letting her know what you did, and honesty is the best policy. But, now she has developed a distrust. Throwing hints her way was great, and getting to know her by asking questions is great. But, calm down, leave a kind message on her desk, let her know you know what you did is break her trust with you and your very sorry. Let her know in the note that you were having heart felt feelings for her and you were trying to find other ways to get in touch with her. If she accepts the note, she will let you talk to her, try not to push yourself on her verbally. Cause that will cause her to walk away from you. If she doesn't accept the note, she may be still be upset about the situation, cause that is private.\nThe best of luck to you.

Why we are asking question, we do't have any work or other reason. what u say tell me?

At this particular moment, I really have nothing better to do.. it is very early in the morning.. a few hours past midnight, my family is asleep, and I woke and could not go back to sleep.\n\nSure, I could be folding laundry quietly, but I will have that to do tomorrow.  \n\nSo I ask questions, I ask MANY questions, and I look for information that I wonder about.. and I even look for items that may help me at work. And I enjoy asking, I enjoy getting the trusted responses I receive back from the smart individuals out there that know more than I do, and I enjoy the inspiration they give me in helping me with my thoughts and concerns. \n\nI may not always get an answer, but to not ask what is in your mind is to allow that you aren't thinking, and using every resource available to you to seek out answers.

i read on wikipedia under the article "wagonwheel effect" that it only occurs when viewing a moving object through a camera because of the frame rate, but ive seen plenty of times with my own eyes a car's wheel slowing down and seeing the wagon wheel effect or a fan slowing down. so how come it effects the eyes aswell?

This is because artificial lighting flicks on and off dozens of times per second, creating the same effect as watching a movie


He has not paid me a dime. If I talk to a lawyer will this have to go to court or made public?  What are his options, since he has nothing.

First, try calling, emailing, or writing him requesting he repay you ~ and keep copies of your attempts to solve the matter.\nSecond, take him to small claims court.  You file the suit at your town/city courthouse and pay a nominal fee which you will get back when you win your case.  No lawyer needed.


Black people can be "Proud of their culture, religion, colour but if I say I am proud of mine I am branded racist seems very one sided to me or are we entering a culture of " reverse racism

It is because other races have tried to make white people feel guilty about who they are, which is bullshit...especially trying to link the white race to the holofake.\n\nAccording to them, if you say you are proud to be white you are a racist or automatically pro-white power or even a Nazi.\n\nMy response is usually....Thanks ;)\n\nIt's strange when they call a white person "racist" but they are the ones making the judgement....i have one word for that..Hypocrites.\n\nThing is though i have found, Not ALL black people, asian people are like that, just a few fuckin wankers.\n\nI guess you just have fuckwits in every race.

I have aprox 25 years left until retirement

You should put in at least as much as you need to in order to receive your company's match.  If you put in less than, then you're walking away from "free" money.  Anything over that amount is a personal investment decision.  My old company had a terrible 401(k) program with few, and mostly bad, investment options.  I put in enough to get my company match, and then put more money into an IRA.  My current company has a great matching program, and terrific investment options, so I'm maxing out my contribution.  \n\nThe short answer is put away as much as you can.  The longer it sits in an investment that's growing, the more money you'll have at the end.

My father and my anut both run leather businesses. While my father has basicly retired from his my anut still runs hers both companies have huge money making potential and are there for the taking. The situation as I see it is two companies with 7 figure income potential and come with small getting started risks and startup working capital costs. the catch is I have alot to learn and must travel 2k miles to get into it leaving my wife for a short time, to make my fortune. before she joins me. Wife has 50k a year job and is ok without me for awhile. should I a: get a job here and shutup or b: go for the brass ring? opinions of business owners helpful but any welcome. business owners please give me some personal backround with your answers if you would. thanks for your time I know how important it is to you.

My background is Business Admin., and I own a mortgage company.\n\nIn business one of the most important factors to learn is risk assessment. Are the rewards greater than the possible loss?\nFrom your question my friend, is sounds like you already know what the best option for you is.


The thing is that if I resign ...I have to pay the company around 10,000 but if I get fired i Do not have to pay anything.

Getting fired isn't that hard. Show up late, often.  Show up under the influence of alcohol a couple of times (not smashed drunk, just "tipsy")\n\nI would read your contract first, it sounds like you have a strange one and there has to be an "out".  You can not be expected to work there for years and STILL have to pay to leave (and why do you have to pay to leave?  did they pay for a relocation and/or training?)\n\nSounds like you may be stuck, good luck.


I have a Mac PowerBook G4 laptop that has done nothing but crash since I first got it - and that is without having added any software or memory or anything.\n\nOf course, now I have added additional software - i.e. Adobe CS2, Word, etc., because that was the whole reason I got the computer - to be able to work. But I thought I was escaping the madness of my PC being so unreliable.\n\nSo now it still continues. My Adobe programs crash without warning, my browsers (both safari and firefox) crash without warning, my Word program crashes without warning, and now today my Mac is sooooo slow. Any suggestions? I thought Macs were supposed to be wonderful!\n\nThe Apple store told me I probably got a lemon. Is that just an excuse? I've had my computer 18 months, so I'm passed my warranty period. Again, any ideas would be helpful.

Try this-Startup with the "S" key on your keyboard held down. At the prompt type /sbin/fsck  -fy. If no errors are reported type exit,if errors-type it again until ok. When system fully boots to the finder go to utilities and open disk utility and "repair permissions". If you don't leave your computer on "overnite" you could also do this: Go to "utilities" folder,select terminal.app ; at prompt type sudo sh /etc/monthly. It will ask for your password. Then do the same command,but,substitute the word "monthly" with "weekly" then again substitute"weekly" with "daily"\nNote:"weekly" will take longer to perform,be patient. When done type "exit" and quit "terminal" See,that was easy!

I have had a call from the school at least once a week for at least three weeks. He is scooting on the floor,telling the teacher he doesnt have to listen to her,spitting pencils at her, laying over in his desk with his feet to one side his head to the other,well you get the piont. I have taken his toys,games etc away from him. I have grounded him from staying with people. I have made him clean the baseboards in the house with a toothbrush. I Taken all priveleges away from him. I have put him in the corner and I've spanked him nothing seems to be working. I cant get the school to help me. They just call me to come get him when he starts that. He does that at home to but I cant seem to fix the problem. My husband works off so its just me trying to raise 3 kids by myself.

oh my!!\n please please try this: instead of taking things away from him make him earn things.  reward him when he has good behaivor.  create a behavior system. \n\nA good example would be make a chart of the things that he would like to do or go.  And tell him he has to have good behaivor and not get into trouble at school for a specific number of day before he will be able to do that.  I can give you many more ideas if you are interested.  just email me at teddybear_1829@yahoo.com\n\nBut the one thing I can tell you is that it will never get better if you make it seem to him that you are just taking things away from him.

I bought the Muzzy Spanish learning set and was VERY dissapointed. My kids liked watching it, but I didn't like the story line at all!! Has anyone else watched it and thought the same thing? I don't want my 3 and 4 yo to learn how to say "I hate him!" or "I hate work!" in Spanish. I don't even want them to learn to say that in English! And what's with the whole thing with Corvax kidnaping Silvia"s baby to raise her up to mary him? Anyone else find that disturbing? The only part I did like was the vocabulary builder. That was pretty cool!\n\nMy kids didn't like the games on the cd-rom at all, and they usually love playing computer games. \n\nIs there anyone out there who has used something they loved and would pass it on? I would like it to be Latin American if possible. Thanks so much!!!!

Get your children into a play group with Spanish speaking children.  Children learn a second language easiest when there is a purpose for them to do it - a play group can be part of that purpose.  Children will learn best in real life situations with real life purpose.\n\nI've included a couple of links that look promising.  Have fun!

what is the effects of using cell phones to students?

1. Judging by your question, they don't pay attention in English class.\n\n2. Cell phones make students obsessed with keeping intimate tabs on all of their friends at all times, thereby making them extremely boring to talk with or study with because the phone keeps ringing.


i down loaded java from java.com  i tried some of their games  and  not bad  but some of their games  take  almost forever to  come up waiting for connection to server  now what is with that    will this java  help me  beable to access any downloads of games that i put on my puter  or what  as before i downloaded the new java  i could not  play any games that i downloaded   and i need toknow  will this make any difference...  how do i use the java  to my advantage   and why does  the java cup disappear  off my tool bar at bottom of my screen and then  shows up  when it wants tooo

Java is simply an application that is only launched when a program needs it.  So, for example, when you load a game written in Java, the Java application you installed on your computer will run and you will be able to play your game.\n\nThe Java application you downloaded is only used when you run a program written in Java.  It will not affect any games or other applications not written in that computer language.  \n\nThe games you are trying to download and run are launching slowly only because of either your internet connection or the speed of the server you are connecting to.  The speed has nothing to do with the program itself or how you installed it.


exactly how much dose ebay get how much dose it cost to put your pictures on there?

e-bay charges according to how much you stuff sells for but i don't think it is more than 2% so if you sell something for $10 e-bay gets 20 cents. as for listing it usually costs for the basic package with a pic in the listing and one category that usually runs 60 - 75 cents depending on how many pics you put in. hope this helps.  P.S. e-bay is very addicting. but lots of fun.  <><ANNA<><


1.IM LOOKING FOR A X AND ITS SO HARD TO FIND HIM I HAVE TRYED SWITCH BOARD ECT IM NOT TRYIGN TO PAY ANYITNHG IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION I DONT HAVE CREDIT CARDS ARE ECT? 2.AND I JUST RECENTLY WENT THREW A BANKRUPTCY HOW CAN I GET A GOOD CREDIT CARD TO BUILD MY CREDIT UP.

It will be hard to find a creditor without extreme high intrest. You have to find a secured credit card. For example you send this card an amount of a $1000 as colateral and in exchange they will provide a credit card with an intrest that is backed by your money. To build your credit, charge things to your card but pay it in full when the statement comes so your balance is always back to zero.

I am trying to get the computer game Carmageddon to play in a windows xp computer but it keeps bringing up the message \n\n16bit MS-DOS Subsystem\nC:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe\nC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close" to terminate the application.\nClose or Ignore

let's just say that the software is not compatible or was not built for XP. For the fact that the game was released last 1997. Try an emulator or something so that you can still play the game.


Just to cite an example of propaganda put out by main stream media who agrees?

Depending on how the sentence is arranged it could well be true. Bear with me. Suppose I take the last two words, "work seekers," as the definition of the population to be "analyzed." \n\nWould you be totally shocked to learn that only 6% of job seekers approve of Bush? (I'm thinking a lot of folks looking for jobs hold any current administration in lower regard than the part of the population who isn't looking for a job. And even that group only gives him an approval rating of less than 40%. )\n\nIt's true I would expect the unemployment rate to be higher than 38% for work seekers. After all, one assumes a work seeker doesn't have a job. That assumption, however, could be mistaken. Many people could be looking for second jobs.\n\nAnd if that's not what you meant, then Mike Gilbert is right.


I realize that there is some jealousy on his behalf because he question everything I do. I realize he also could be doing wrong which is why he acts so suspicious of me. I guess I just want to know for sure if its because he's in love or something else.

Those indicates that he loves you. My advise would be, to get more intimate with him, just the way he wants you to, and see how he reacts. Even after doing as he wants you to if he questions your work, then he is just saying things, and not being original. I think that's the only way you can surely test if he is being honest with you or not.

Why is the meteor impact off the Yuccitan Penninsula and also off the coast of Austraila NOT in the bible if the bible records the birth of the earth and its historical beginnings?

no.  you're going to get a variety of responses ranging from the reasonable, like david's to the utterly ridiculous, like a lot of the others already here.\n\nas for the claims that the crater in the yucatan is supposition or "only a theory" (ever heard these words before?) there is a lot of evidence for it:\n\n"Probably the most convincing evidence for a worldwide catastrophe was the discovery of the crater which has since been named Chicxulub Crater. This so-called smoking gun is centered on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and was discovered by Tony Camargo and Glen Pentfield while working as geophysicists for the Mexican oil company PEMEX. What they reported as a circular feature later turned out to be a crater estimated to be 180 kilometers in diameter. Other researchers would later find that the end-Cretaceous extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs had lasted for thousands of years instead of millions of years as had previously been thought. This would be the final piece of evidence that convinced the vast majority of scientists that this extinction resulted from a point event that is most probably an extra-terrestrial impact and not from increased volcanism and climate change (which would spread its main effect over a much longer time period)."\n\nIt seems to be a bit more than a layer of clay in the ground.\n\nwhether this is worthy enough for biblical mention is debatable, but it seems that such a large impact would have had tremendous effects on any living species at the time, including (as creationists claim) humans.  why is there no mention of it either in the bible or other human cultures?  probably because it happened long before any humans were around.  it would have been a very important event, more important than a lot of the mentioned events in the bible.\n\nand if it is mentioned in the bible, please provide a passage.


When I first noticed said lump on the back of my friends head he said their was no pain. I did notice that the lump grew bigger.  What to do.  Please help.  If possible.

if you've had unsafe sex you should see a doctor cause there is a chance you got a std, other than that it could be a clogged pore or pimple that will go away after about a week, if it doesn't go away consult a doctor.


Hi this Abhimanyu Joshi from baroda , looking for sweet girl 2 whom i can share my experiences , I am 20 yrs old want to seeing someone, i m very open minded down 2 earth guy, want have such a good and true friend.

We buddhist believe that it depends on faith. When ur faith comes, ur ms. right will come naturally n u cant avoid it. U can try to search but dun be so desperate. Find a girl who shares common interests n lifestyle with u. Of coz the education n job position must be about the same level.


I was reading one of the questions & answers about lesbians and gay people or transexuals of how they are reinveting the gender.... ? This got me really curious so my questions are... do gay or lesbian people have any religion? And does their religion supports their lifestyle? And when we die.. we either go to heaven or hell... where do they go when the bible didn't indicate a 3rd gender.. so how do we define it?\n\nI don't hold any bad opinion on gay/lesbian.. I thought they are sooo funny. Never a dull moment when you hang out with them.

WOW.\n\nIt's sexuality, not creed.\n\nGood thing about God is that He deals with people individually. Gotta back up from judging a bit, cause it's not our job yet.\n\nCheers


Chuck Norris was in a horror flick back in the 70s or 80s. It was him kicking some flying round alien things the size of a plate. I cant find the movie anywhere nor know the title of it. Does anyone know it? I searched all over the net and wasn't able to find it. I just need the name of the movie... Thx

Never known him to play in any horror movies.  Maybe you are talking about "The Octagon".  Click on the link below to see the complete list of movies he's been in.


his grandfather was dying in the hospital last night and me and my bf went to visit him.  there were nurses every where and my bf would glance at them and when we were down in the lobby i saw him turn his whole head to look at some blonde nurse (it was some old over weight lady.. he just noticed the blond hair.. hahaha)  hes sooo obsessed with looking at females.  and when a pretty lady walked by he would look towards her and get all choked up when he was talking to someone.  whys he so obsessed with females? so many guys walked by and im sure some cute ones but i wanted to show my bf respect and show him how easy it is NOT to look!  i glanced at one guy just cuz i got so upset for how gross he was being and he just looked at the next girl in sigt. i think he has a problem ... we were at the hospital! when i confronted him how horrible he was ebign cuz of his grandpa.. he freaked out on me and said hurtful things. and he denied that he looked at anyone.

He's not a pervert - he's a jerk. You should not tolerate disrespectful behavior like that. By denying the obvious when you confronted him showed that he does not respect your intelligence either! Give him the heave-ho!


Then you see them the next day and they ask you again. I just keep saying NO!!!! How do you feel?

I hate people who are lazy. \n\nI hate people asking for money.\n\nI hate fuckin drunks.\n\nBut then again, i ask myself, what if i was in their shoes???\n\nI would need all the help i could get.


Road bike would be fun. I would get the hybrid though. Hard to ride a bike in the rain or snow.


todays gas prices saftey and repair \nprice dosent matter

A flex fuel car. the gas is generally cheaper but harder to find. The engines are regular engines and no expensive hybrid batteries to replace. Or they have the clean diesel cars now too.


I want to send new messages but can't, because the attach files always appears and I can not write a message. how can i remove this file?

One man at work look at me and just said your to fat.

Not all dudes like skinny women! No one in my family would even bring a girl home if she didn't look like she could handle herself/or has handled her business at the dinner table.\n\nI am totally of the belief that the person God designed to be your mate is attracted to your body as it was designed (including someone's set point).  Women worry about their weight all too often and don't realize that it is irrelevant if a dude thinks you're fat. Why do we do this to ourselves? Different strokes for different folks, and if he's not interested in strokin' ya ...well, there will be others!


Has anybody ever actually received prizes from online offers like GET YOUR FREE LAPTOP OR IPOD!

My mom had surgery and I want to get her some flowers and gifts to cheer her up? What are some creative ideas.

I like to give some real cute and colorful PJ's. Maybe some slippers to go with that. Generally a person who has surgery will be living in their pajamas for a week or so, and being a woman, you know, we "LOVE" clothes. Also, a gift certificate to have her nails done, is a great gift idea too,....for when she feels up to it. This will make her feel good  after she recovers.  By the way, have you ever heard of a PJ telegram? A real neat gift idea! This gift is Way awe sum! For starters its packed in a beautiful wire hat box. Then you choose a set of PJ that will be packed in the hatbox. They also add bath products, some great teas, slippers, and a cute stuff animal. Its a "great" gift, I got one last year and I Loved it!!!


Lets say there was one room in a house in which everything was chaotic. Everything apart from the things that make it a room. Walls, floor and ceiling. No rules of physics applied, the lights went on and off, the light waves took five seconds to travel three feet there were sounds blarring from no source at all, and small animals would materialize and demeterialize all at the exact same time.. Does this room sound appealing to you? Probably not unless your Jeffrey dahmer. So my question is not what would happen during Chaos that would make you uncomfortable, but why is the very nature of chaos to be the unpredictable. fja qr8oqprghpfkcknoirjdlkaoifnao...see , you couldnt predict that line of jibber jabber, nor could you decipher its meaning. Because there is none, and meaninglessness works against human interest. Why

Human organism and society are highly ordered systems with only a limited capacity of self-repair. By destroying part of that order, "raw chaos" may target key structures which make the entire order work or fail.


I cannot find it in the dictionary again!!! HELP ME, please!!!!

I'm sure there is another out there that you will love..Noone needs to trust a guy like that!!! He will keep on doing this no matter what you say or do. Believe me honey he's not going to stop!!! Please do yourself a favor and get out of this relationship before you get hurt!!!!!


a 2003 escalade or a 57 cevy pick up truck both nice

I would assume the 57 Chevy is a very dear vehicle to someone in you family. The fact that they are willing to let you take it on your special night is absolutely awesome. Whoever this person must want your night to mean as much to you as that '57 does to them. I would think about it in that perspective before I decided. Could not only be a night to remember for you but also for the loved one that is letting you drive their "baby".. Consider yourself lucky... Not many people have the opportunities that you do...


What is the name and where does it originate from? (Persian, Arabic, Latin, etc) And do you like your name? :) Would you choose any other for yourself?

My name's Emma, and I believe it means "Hard working", but I went to Greece a few years ago and in their language it means blood!\nMy sister's name is Sarah which apparently means "Princess" so when I grew up I liked to think of myself as Cinderella!!!


can windows service pack 2 be a possible cause of xp freezing up ? how would one know for sure or if too many programs are running in the back ground how can you prevent them from running if you do not know which ones are running?

If you are going to load spybot search & destroy, i would use the advance tools startup manager in it rather than msconfig. Much better tool.


You know the ones, where they put a microphone in the peoples mouths so we have to listen to them chew, slurp and gulp their food? Every time I see or hear these commercials on my tv I either change the channel or mute the tv, it's disgusting to me to hear people chewing loudly, especially a commercial that does it on purpose.

ur rite it is soooo gross...i mean seriously i get grossed out when the ppl sittin near me chew w/ their mouths open....but hearin it extra loud on tv is not only gross but disturbin...lol...u should write a complaint letter...all it does is make ppl want to go sumwhere else


Its my father's 49th birthday in 2 days, and my brothers and I feel this intense need to do something for him, the problem is, we don't know what to do. Please help.

You could give him the day. I know it sounds easy, but you have to make it his day. Wash his car, cook the dinner especially for him. And give him some things to unwrap, not big gifts or expensive ones, let him unwrap something to give him the light, give him your attention. He probably don't care much for material things, his greatest concern is his kids-you.


I am so sick and tired of hearing people (especially my friends) talking about how they are worried about being pregnant! Take birth control use a condom, there are ways of avoiding the stress and the huge chance of becoming pregnant.

because they believe that they wont get pregnant and that nothing will happen to them his the man pull out but they will find out the hard way

what where the symptoms of a knee sprain,  how was it treated besides x-rays, did you have  a full cast leg. i feel like my knee gives out.   what is the treatment for a knee sprain.  what can i expect, will i get crutches do i have to be limping to have a knee sprain?

ice 20 mins if its swollen, heat 20 mins for pain.  if your knee is giving out you should have an MRI to make sure nothing is torn.\n\nyes, you will get crutches if you go to the er. even if nothing is wrong. and a full leg brace with velcro straps.


I have expressed to her that I love her 4 months back. She told me that she likes me but doesnt think about me in a romantic way. I told her that we can be just friends. After this we have started hanging out a lot with each other. She spends more time with than her rommates. We talk on phone with each other atleast an hr everyday even though we see each other everyday. She calls me everyday before going to bed. Talks to me when she is happy, bored, down, alone yet she wouldnt say that she has started to love me. I didnt wish her on Valentine's day. We both cooked something that day for our friends and hanged out together. Later that night she IM's me "Happy Valentine's Day" even though she feels that one shouldnt wish friends or mom or sis etc. I just cant understand her.\nI love her more than anyone would ever love her. I have always been there for her and will always be there for her. I want to know if over time she has started loving me or is there hope that she would love me

I think "Christy" is tough, but right.\n\n"She already said she doesn't think about you in a romantic way and that's not likely to change." On that point, she is right IF you keep doing all those nice things for her.\n\nOf course, it's great that you do all those things, but you gotta think strategic, buddy!\n\nYou're giving away a lot, but you're not getting what you want (no, I don't mean THAT. I mean her commitment and her giving herself, her whole self.)\n\nShe's not taking a risk with you, and that could be a problem. What if she becomes attracted to another guy? Then you might feel bad about not taking a stand sooner.\n\nFor all sorts of reason (timing, emotional unreadiness, etc.) she might be in her right not to get involved romantically. But that doesn't change the fact that a guy has got to stand up for what he believes. If you believe you guys are good together, then express that conviction in no uncertain terms.\n\nGood luck!


we dont see moonlight, the astronauts didnt see earthlight. what we and the astronauts saw was actually sunlight reflecting off of each (moon and earth). the moon gives off no light and all the lights on the earth would not make a very bright light if you were staring at the planet from the moon's surface.

The heat required is calculated by multiplying the moles of ice and the heat of fusion of water.  Moles of ice equals the mass of ice divided by the molecular weight of ice.  The heat of fusion of water one can get from the book.  Make sure your units cancel appropriately.

Well assuming you have a child I would say lay off dating and try and take care of that baby.\n\nYou are too young to have a kid in the first place but now that you do you are too old to be dealing with silly teenage crap.\n\nYou need to grow up and be a mom instead of worrying about some silly boy feeding you a giant load of crap.\n\nHe just wants to get in your pants...that is all teenage boys want from girls and it sounds like you don't need the complications.


the world and even on this website, there are just some mean people out there who just for some reason, can't help but treat somebody else like complete shit or just seem so bitter and just obnoxious... why?  what do they get out of it?

People have become depersonalized in a modern world.There is a lack of accountability. We no longer live in small communities that we have to have good relations to survive. If 150 years ago you were rude to the people you interact with, you may not get your harvest sold at a decent price, or the neighbors to help till you fields should you fall sick. These days many are estranged from family.Extended family has always served as a system  of support as well as discipline. Aunts,Uncles and grandparents would step in as surrogate parents should they see even a distant relation misbehaving.People are also weary, I think , and in the hurried pace of life, do not see what being kind will DO for them.Unfortunately, thinking of yourself first has been promoted for years now and rudeness is a side effect.IMO, If everyone calmly and non judgementally said ," You may not realize it, but you were just unnecessarily rude" people may reflect and change their own behavior. Then again, you may get the finger!


Why is offender management so important to the criminal justice system?

It ensures that sentences are served as mandated by the court, if you want a really short answer.\n\nMy department uses OffenderTrak to manage all of that information.  Here is a very short description of a few things that OffenderTrak keeps track of.\n\nThe system consists of an integrated database with two front-end applications:  Offendertrak, used primarily for inmate management, and Caseload Explorer, used primarily for community supervision management.  The system provides a means for offender information to be captured once at the most logical transaction point and used many times by end-users throughout the agency as well as private prisons and regional facilities that house MDOC offenders.  The system makes it possible to capture an unlimited number of offenses with the associated details, extensively make notations throughout the offender record, record running logs and chronological entries, initiate requests at one department and forward the request within the application to a supervisor for approval, record a ban on a visitor and have that action viewable at all MDOC facilities and locations, and place a liability on an offender’s trust account when the offender has insufficient funds and automatically triage the repayment of the charges as funds are received.  The system is comprehensive!

My relationships usually last a month and a half or so. I have met people off of the personal sites and a phone dating service.

For one YOUR A GOOD GUY. Ima girl and I dont always want a good guy.  I dont want him giving me everything I want. I want to feel like "I" have to work for it not them.  I promise thats exactly what they are lookng for. If they cant find it in you they end up finding it in someone who does do it. You know what that's telling you..?  They arent your soulmate. When you find a girl and you treat them how they want and yall r perfect for each other then she wont do you wrong.  But stop being so lovey lovey and stuff. Be aggressive!!

I have what I think is a sinus cold throughout my entire face.   My eyes gunk up every 5 minutes, they are irritated altho not itchy they are almost painful.   The air is burning them and the gunk is a cloudy white.   Not green, not clear, milky.   I don't even want o keep them open! My nose continues to run non stop and I fel just annoyed.   \n\nI don't have insurance.   I think I need those antibiotic drops but don't I need a prescription?   I don't feel sick, I feel like its an allergy related thing or eye/sinus infection of sorts.   Advice?

I've tried situps with hands behind head, feet under something, arms across chest, full situps, and crunches.  The problems is I don't know which is most effective in working the abs.  Any suggestions?  And I know situps don't burn fat, I'm just trying to tone.

weighted sit ups are the best.\n\nDo sits with a five pund weight on your chest.\nAnd don't do fast sit ups.  \nSlow and controlled.

Their fault.  Take it to a higher court if you need to.


I read a book about a priest who had lived in Italy who made a time machine called the Chronovisor or something like that and THe Vatican has everything.

For an interesting book on what got included in the Bible and what got changed read Misquoting Jesus : The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart Ehrman. As for the many Vatican treasures you might want to take a look at the book In the Footsteps of Popes: A Spirited Guide to the Treasures of the Vatican by Enrico Bruschini. Happy reading.


http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/plantanswers/trees/dogwood.html\n\nTHE LEGEND OF THE DOGWOOD\n\nAs legend has it, the cross on which Jesus was crucified was made from a dogwood tree. God decreed that the dogwood tree would from that day forth never grow large enough to be used to make a cross. Thus, the dogwood tree is a small, under story tree. The flower of the dogwood has four petals which makes the shape of a cross. The center of the flower resembles the crown of thorns with bright red, clustered fruit in the center representing the blood of Christ.\nThe dogwood blooms in April when Easter Sunday marks the resurrection of Christ after the Crucifixion.

Yes I have heard it before.. and I have a whole hillside that will be blanketed with White blossoms soon...\n\nWhen we were logging our acreage I said "take anything you want.. but do not damage the Dogwoods".. and now I have people who stop along the roadside and take pictures of it.. I really need to clear more trees from the 1/4 mile roadside of my property so everyone can enjoy them..


Seriously!?  Could the 3 boys really take on all 200 grannies?

The boys would eventually get their a$$es kicked. Sure, they may take a few of the grannies, but in the long run, the grannies would win.


I'm a single guy, 55 yrs old, responsible job, going through a divorce, and have a 3-yr old yellow Lab who is a good boy, housebroken, and non-destructive. I have to be out of my home by May 5, 2006 & due to the amount of support I have to pay & have been stuck with full responsibility for 25-yrs of marital debt...I can't afford much. I don't need a palace but I don't want to live in a slum either. Anyone know anyone with a small house for rent? I chose that area so I can be closer to my parents who are up in age but have no room for me & my dog, & I won't give him up. Where I go, he goes & if necessary I'll store my stuff & sleep in the tent that fits the back of my pickup (I think Wallmart lets campers stay in their parking lots overnight), but I'd rather not have to. So please ask your friends and let me know?  Thanks!

Get the local newspaper for that area and see what is available.  COntact your local real estate agency and see if they have an office in that area and get them to find out for you.


what would you say is  romantic enough to get your attention from a guy that is to shy to ask you out or even just to tell you he likes you??

what you should do is be really nice to her and make he rfeel special but do it in a subtle way, then if she dosent like you there would be no embarrassment because there was no proof that you were hitting on her, but if she responds continue the behavior until you're comfortable enouh within your self to bring up the courage and say, i like spending time with you and i was wondering if we could spend some time together next saturday, or sommething like that.


My friend and i both like the same guy and they have been friends forever. We are both in love with him and he used to like her but doesnt any more; but he doesnt seem to like me. sometimes we are really close but i am not sure if he likes me and i really like him

People naturally like who they like.\n Be yourself. Don't put on behavior for the sake of "Getting somone to like you". You won't be able to do it well, keep it up, or be sure they Really like who you REALLY are!


mine is the pleasure of my company by steve martin

My favorite book is Timeline by Michael Crichton. It is a very exciting read, and I love the combination of futuristic technology and medieval times into one story.


I was wondering  about the Rhythm Method and if i could get any info on it.

Well, I can tell you about the Rythmn Method, but it's not particularly reliable.  Basically, it assumes that everyone has a 28 day cycle and ovulates on day 14.  So, using rythmn, you don't have sex on days 11-17 (counting from the first day of your period).\n\nIf you are interested in alternative contracteption, you might consider Natural Family Planning (sometimes called Fertility Awareness Method), which is essentially a more scientific rythmn method that is personalized.  Basics - take your temp before getting up each morning and record it.  Also, observe and record cervical mucus throughout your cycle.  Using these two sets of info, determine when you are fertile and don't have sex on those days.  For more info see Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler or The Art of Natural Family Planning by Kippley (Couple to Couple League.  Or consult www.ccli.org.  NFP is about 98% effective when used properly.


I have a little dark complexion and my face is not that clear and glowy.and recently i have put on some weight.\nplease suggest some tips for the above queries.

First of all you need to eat berries (they help bring out your skin's natural vibrance). also you can try Grapeseed extract (50 mg./day), you can find this at any healthfood store.  This is a natural and very powerful antioxidant and also is great for skin, do not take for longer than a 10 day duration.  And you can try Omega-3 Fish oil capsules, they make skin less puffy (due to breakout inflamation), less irritated, and more shiny.  :)  AND its good for your heart!\nAs for the weight problem, u gotta not eat junk and exercise girlie...20 minutes a day of runing/jogging, dancing/having sex, whatever, it works. :)


Sometimes I feel like I'm in a movie, sometimes things seem to go perfectly, a little too perfect

I feel like I am in a soap opera lately, but never felt like I was in a movie cause everything is going too good.


was wondering what the effects might be - drowsiness?  intensified buzz?

It will make you tired.  If you drink too much, you'll get nauseated.  If you are taking the dramamine for the waters in the Cayman, you probably won't need it.  The waters are very calm there.


Monks in monesteries copied the Bible by hand.

Actually it was because Latin was considered the langauge of scholars, and it was the church language.  It wasn't the spoken language of the time. Nor was it the language of Jesus' day other than among the Romans.   Jesus' language probably would have been Aramaic.


Don't mean to be offensive - just looking for an honest answer. \n\nWhat framework do you use to make the judgement call that something is "wrong" or "right"? \n\nAlso, is morality ever a black and white issue? \nIf so, how and why? \nGive examples of some black and white issues.

You know, this is actually an interesting question.\n\nMany religious people believe that it is religion that gives them morals and prevents them from Hell and such. But really, it's not that at all. You can have morals but no religion.\n\nI believe that there is a moral world order, a sort of universal code that must be adhered to in order to preserve order and good in the world. This is not my religious feeling, but instead my moral compass, if you will. \n\nI don't do good deeds for fear of hell, or as supplication so that I may enter heaven. I do good and fight evil because I feel that good must always prevail over evil, or we will have lost our humanity, and become beasts.\n\nMorality is very often a black and white issue. Rape is never grayscale. It's never justified, and the people who commit it need to be put in prison or in an electric chair. They have forfeited their humanity, and like dangerous animals they need to be locked up or destroyed.\n\nOther issues that are black and white to me are murder, arson, and terrorism. Terrorism is never justified, no matter what. I don't care if US Black Hawk helicopters shot up your village or somthing as a kiddie and killed your mujahdeen daddy. The fact of the matter is that you can NEVER EVER kill civilians in cold blood for political reasons. You can never treat humans as tools for political advancement. \n\nMurder is never justified because killing another human being is just wrong. I say only murder, not killing, because murder is cold and premeditated. Manslaughter is also included in this. That a person could plan and execute a deadly attack on another is shocking to me.\n\nArson is never right either. No one has a good reason to be burning some buildings down.\n\nI disagree with you about Stalin. That was not religiously motivated. Nor was the Holocaust. In fact, the years 1936 to 1945 were remarkably unreligious given Germany's usually strong Catholic base. Hitler disliked the Church and largely they went along with him. However, Hitler did not claim divine support. \n\nHowever, atrocities are often commited in the name of religion. How about the Crusades, or the Thirty Years War? Thousands of lives wasted, all in the name of God!\n\nSometimes I think my moral compass is better than your Bible. I have all the morals with none of the religious radicalism.


lim h->0 (f(x+h)-f(x))/h\n\n[(x+h)^2-3(x+h)+1-(x^2-3x+1)]/h\n=(x^2+2xh+h^2-3x-3h+1\n    -x^2+3x-1)/h\n=(2xh+h^2-3h)/h\n=(2x+h-3)\n\nThere should be a limit as h->0 in front of each line above, so let h=0 in the final line to give you 2x-3.\n\nThis is called a derivative by the way, and if you haven't learned them yet there are easy rules to follow for computing the derivative of polynomials like this one.

Given. A judgment has been given in the case.


I've been a Christian for 2 years now and I am aware that God answers the prayers if they are within His will. Somehow, all the circumstances that surround my situation seem to point to a positive answer from God. However, I am experiencing an unexplainable insecurity regarding my fiancee. We love each other very much, but I have an instinct that tells me that we are not going to work out as a married couple. I have prayed a lot (and even fasted!) to God and asked Him to reveal His will for us, but I got a completly different answer, which does not regard my question. I tried associating things and putting two and two together, but nothing makes sense. \nIt just doesn't seem like God is saying "No" for us, so it's not like I don't WANT to hear the "no", every single circumstance points to a "yes", but I want to make sure.. and there's that insecurity. I don't want to be out of His will... \nDo you guys have any suggestions as to what else other than prayer and meditation I should try?

God does things on HIS time schedule... sometimes, his answer is a blatant "yes" or "no." In this case, HIS answer may be "not quite yet."\n\nHE may have something that HE wants you to reevaluate things. Maybe HE is trying to get you to learn something or change something about you, so as to better honor your future wife. Growth in the Spirit best takes place under trying times, and this time in your life (i.e. when you're relying on God to sustain you rather than your fiance/wife) is when the most spiritual growth can take place.\n\nNow is a time you can change/rearrange things in your life. Seize the day. Take this delay as a message from God to see what in your life needs reevaluating or prioritizing.\n\nOver all, I'd commend you for looking to HIM rather than blindly jumping into something out of selfish motives. You seem to be keeping your sight on the target. Kudos.
