If so, was it approved? What was the reason?

No, but I read hundreds every year.\n\nOf all the appeals your Financial Aid Office will receive, they are most likely to approve the ones that fall into one of the following categories:\n\n* job/income loss\n* medical expenses not covered by insurance\n* loss of primary home\n\nYou may, of course, submit an appeal for any reason (it's always worth a try), but here are a few things to keep in mind:\n\n* If you are appealing based on your cost of living, don't expect much flexibility: the EFC formula has already "sheltered" a certain amount of your disposable income to allow you to cover the "bare necessities" (this is known as the "asset/income protection allowance"). Quite simply, your FA office isn't supposed to include many more costs than the ones already allowed for.  Regulations have made it clear that we are not supposed to consider expenses such as credit card costs, utility bills, tithing, etc. A good rule of thumb: if not everyone needs it, it probably can't be considered a "necessity" for you.\n\n* Any appeal that you write should offer *new* information to the Financial Aid Office.  Remember that the FAO has already looked at your FAFSA results and know what your income/assets were for the previous tax year.  If nothing has changed, then you will probably need to appeal based on something else.  If there HAVE been changes (mid-year job loss, death of a parent, the birth of a child/sibling, etc), then definitely let the FAO know.\n\n* Watch the tone of your letter. Obviously, in any interview and with any application, it is important to set yourself apart from other applicants -- but don't make assumptions or judgements about other students (like "My friend makes a lot more money than I do and you gave him more Financial Aid!").  Know enough to know that there are things you don't know (about other students and about the process).\n\nObviously, the procedures for appealing scholarship decisions vary by school. Some scholarships are based on merit/academic performance while others are based on financial need. Before you write your appeal, make sure that you know the selection criteria for the scholarship for which you are applying, and focus on those areas.


eg circa £50k and then state at interview that £50k is the only figure on offer and no negoatiation possible.

It probably means that 50k is the salary and there is potential for bonuses and commission.


Which is the best video format? AVI,DVD,MPEG,MPEG2,wmf,dat

MPEG-4 is one of the latest (audio and video) compression method standardized by MPEG group, designed specially for low-bandwidth (less than 1.5MBit/sec bitrate) video/audio encoding purposes. \n\nProbably the best-known MPEG-4 video encoders are called DivX and XviD, which both are nowadays fully standard-compliant MPEG-4 encoders. \n\nIt should be noted that unlike MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, the MPEG-4's predecessors, MPEG-4 itself isn't just one unified encoding mechanism, but rather a group name for several flavors of video and audio encoding methods that share certain same characteristics. These "flavors" are often referred either as "profiles" or "layers" in MPEG-4 compression scheme and each new profile should be backwards compliant to the older, "lower" versions of MPEG-4 in terms of playback capability. \n\nThe most common MPEG-4 layers that XviD and DivX both use extensively are called simple profile and advanced simple profile. After those two standardized video encoding layers, MPEG-4 group has standardized several new layers -- most important ones are h263+ (which is used widely in mobile phone's, dubbed as 3GP) and h.264 (often also called as AVC).


do you think they will trade him for someone better?

with matsui and sheffield on the DL, trading damon isn't an option. besides, no one will take that huge contract which was a sign that yes, the yankees did want him


And if not what happens to the 3% commision?

You dont really need an agent to buy a house/condo. But you DO NEED to know what you are doing. Find out as much as you can about buying, and NEGOTIATE, NEGOTIATE, NEGOTIATE! The commission stays in your pocket.\n\nRead your contracts thoroughly, and you will need to appoint a legal conveyancer to handle all the deed transfers and suchlike. \n\nThere are plenty of good websites to find out information, so do a search to find one relevent to your states laws.

If we use : F=(G*M*m)/d^2 ... The moon should Fall down and hit the earth ...\nWhat is the origin of the centrifuge Force ? \n\n\nWhy earth is still rotating around the sun ?

I will state this here, in yet another question: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CENTRFUGAL FORCE!! Look it up in a basic physics textbook like Giancoli or Serway. Or even do a google search. You have to understand what reference frame you're talking about. The fact that your body tends to want to move to the outside of the curve when your car goes around in a circle has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that your body wants to keep going along in a straight line (conservation of momentum), but the car gets in front of it at every turn (semi pun intended). What is actually happening is that the car is an accelerating reference frame.\n\nAs for the moon/earth question... imagine a man 6' tall throws a tennis ball horizonatally with respect to the earth's surface. The ball will go forward a certain distance (because of it's velocity tangential to the earth's surface) as it falls the ~6' to the ground (because gravity pulls it down). The faster he throws the ball (horizontally), the further it will go before it hits the ground. If he throws it fast enough then the amount that the ball travels forward and the amount that it drops towards the earth's surface can match the curvature of the earth, and the ball will orbit the planet (neglecting air resistance, as we physicists always do) and come around and bonk the thrower in the back of the head. The moon is just a much larger tennis ball, thrown by a much larger man.\n\nYour eqn. is correct, but it only describes the force acting upon the moon. It is not the equation of motion, which detirmines what actually happens to the moon. The equation of motion is:\n\nF = m * a  (F = force, m = mass of moon, a = acceleration of moon around earth)\n\nIn the case of the circular motion of the moon around the earth, "a" is defined by:\n\na = (v^2)/r (where v is the magnitude of the velocity of the moon and r is the center-to-center distance from the earth to the moon)\n\nPlugging one into the other you get:\n\nG * M * m/r^2 = m * (v^2)/r (where M is the earth's mass)\n--> G * M/r = v^2\n\nSo, as long as the tangential velocity, v = sqrt(G * M/r), the moon falls just enough towards the earth as it travels just enough tangentially second by second, that it continues to orbit around the earth. (Note: there is NO CENTRIFUGAL FORCE anywhere in any of these eqns.!!)

Opened-mind is important for anybody into the communcation, right-on?  There you are!  If not, forget it, then!

I agree, people who are close minded, will never accept, any thing you might have to say to them.\nBeing open minded will allow you to accept most anything, or at least look at that matter, with an open mind.


Im in florida so if anyone knows about a private health insurance here please let me know thanks (he dont cualify for goverment insurance)

There is a lower costing health insurance called KChip that is just for children. I don't know if it is just available in my state of Kentucky but you could type it in the search engine and they might have something similiar in FL for you.

Anyone have any thought's on Terry not winning survivor, and wasn't Danielle a goofy gal for picking Arus?

I was so disappointed that the stupid girl Danielle chose Aras over Terry--like Shane said--if anyone deserved to win the $1 million that was Terry no doubt about it. Terry was the greatest player. He always played fair, never lied to nobody and you know what really bugs me...is that he taught Danielle how to start the fire, and in the end she betrayed him..what an a^s^s that woman is! I know that Terry didn't give her the immunity idol because he didn't think it would be fair for Cirie...so he did what every fair person would do...let them go at it head to head...in the end Danielle got lucky (again thanks to Terry's pointers) and I didn't want Aras to win but since it was between him and Danielle...it's good that he won! But Terry should've won! He was the only true survivor!!! (hear that stupid survivor theme playing hehehe)


Were they able to live a normal live or did they experience problems? Although assigned as a boy, did they end up living as a girl. The same with girls, did they start to live as a boy? Were they able to handle this change okay?

I can sympathize with you. I am and always have been female through and through but it must be very difficult for you.\nI would love to hear sometime what is feels like to be in a male body yet feel like a female. It is hard to imagine.\nIs it just a craving to wear woman's clothes and makeup?\nI just have no frame of reference, since it was always my body, changing, cycling, having hips and boobs, and my love of flowers, colors, furnishings, men, and animals, that made me think like a woman.\nI wonder if it isn't just a desire to be seductive the way a woman is that is the appeal of it.


someone just please suggest something that i can do to relieve all my stress and depression.... i would really appriciate it


I was reading an article on search engines and they were using the word 'anchor text'. What is that supposed to mean, Thanks in advance.

It refers to a point in a web page that can be referenced in a hyperlink. For instance, when you see a link that says "Back to top." You click it, and your scroll bar takes you back to the top of the page. There is some anchor text (or at the very least, an anchor) at the top of the page. You use it like this:\n\n\nAnchor text\n\n\n\n\nReturn to anchor\n\nYou can actually reference the ID attribute of any element (
,
, etc.) as an anchor. Hope this helps.

How have you managed to maintain your job with grammar like that?  I sure hope none of your duties involve speaking.  I also hope that English is not your native language.\nIf your computer has it's computers networked, then yes, the sys admin can examine and filter that traffic.  There's no real way to "block" the sys admin without getting fired, sorry.


of the trash can be taken as a whole and then seperated therefore causing fingerprints to maybe become contaminated?

Okay i am not a csi officer nor to i plan to do to that. I am a pd officer and when we do small investgatiosn we collect all evidance at the scene we never look for prints back at the station that be dumb . We do take evidance back to the lab and station but not like that not unless we found like a person or something that was needed for trail in the can itself.


An illegal asked what was thhe quickest way to become a citizen and I told him there was a program if you join the United States Armed forces. He said I am not going to get  shot at!!! Ask the immigratnst if they will join the armed forces. If they say no them send them home.

I'm completely on the side of the Mexican and South American people to gain citizenship, and , oddly enough , I think requiring a stint in the armed forces is an excellent idea. It provides employment, educational opportunity, and yes, a test of loyalty to the United States.\n\nMany countries REQUIRE their own male citizens to spend at least 3 years in armed service for their country, and have for centuries.

I'm 31 years old.  I'm about 5'4" and about 400 pounds.  I've been overweight my whole life (10 pound baby, 100 pounds at age 8, 300 pounds at age 17, etc).  I've tried almost every diet I've come across and nothing has helped.  I've been dieting since I was child (first diet was at age 5 with Weight Watchers).  I know if I don't do something soon about my weight I'm going to die soon.  I'm out of ideas and surgery seems to be the only option left.  I know its very risky and I'm scared to do it, but I'm more scared to not do it and die instead and leave my husband and 2 children wife/motherless.\n\nI don't have any insurance and I don't have many money.  We are well below the poverty level.  I've applied for Medicade back in December but still haven't hear back from them yet and I feel I'm running out of time.\n\nI need help.  Any ideas of how I can get this surgery?

While its true medicaid may not pay for it, but I am sure your doctor can make it seem as though if you do not get this surgery you will die. I mean its the only way they are able to get most insurance companies to pay for it, (more and more are not covering it).\nAlso there are banks/lenders that will loan you the money to pay for surgery, you only need check online or with your own bank.\nwww.capitalonehealthcarefinance.com \nwww.tangcompany.com \nare a couple I have found online. Also you can call your local hospital, or bariatric center to see if they know of a bank. I know often times Bank Of America does loans for some procedures, you may check them out as well. hope this helps you.


It has been documented that steroid cheaters in weight lifting can easily beat the most modern and expensive tests for steroid and human growth hormone usage. There are now two types of competitions because of this fact. A clean division where they are tested and the division where anything goes (the big money makers). It is just too expensive to test and they can easily beat the tests anyways. I have known this for years and recently Playboy had a great article on this. When someone comes to the defense of their favorite player in baseball, they always reply, "well, they haven't been caught by any tests so they gotta be clean." And having the prior knowledge of how easy it is to beat tests, my response is, "Oh really?" Why are MLB fans and MLB so stupid? Pujols, Jonny Gomes, and over 75% of these guys are using. I can tell by impossible offseason muscle gains, their overly square jawline, and their crazy head size and buttocks of all things (large amounts of tissue added from HGH).

dumb guys who are afraid 2 kick someone out thats the reason


or dating? Is this considered lust? What if its an occasional daydream only? What if its obsessive? What happens if you get aroused a lot?

While many today feel that there is nothing wrong or dangerous about feeding sexual fantasies, the Bible disagrees. It clearly explains that there is an intrinsic relationship between what we feed on mentally and how we act. "Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire," points out the Christian disciple James. "Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin." (James 1:14, 15) Jesus said: "Everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."—Matthew 5:28.\nAs James and Jesus both indicate, humans act on the impulse of internal desires. Those desires, when fed and nourished, can in time become powerful obsessions. Obsessions are very hard to resist and can eventually push a person into action. Thus, what we introduce into our minds can have a powerful effect on what we eventually do.\nSexual fantasies can directly interfere with our worship of God. That is why Paul wrote: "Deaden, therefore, your body members . . . as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry."—Colossians 3:5.\nPaul here links sexual appetite with covetousness, which is an inordinate desire for something that one does not have.* Covetousness is a form of idolatry. Why? Because the one coveting puts that desired thing before all else, including God. Pornography stimulates lust for something that one does not possess. "You want somebody else's sexual life. . . . You can have nothing in your mind but that appetite for what you lack. . . . What we lust for, we worship," says one religion writer.


her bf which she loved very much broke up wit her, and she told me she was ganan bleed,, i have 1 day to get it rite,, HELP!!!!!!!!!

I dont understand what you mean specifically by "she told me she was ganan bleed?" But, it sounds like cutting behavior? Am I right? If so, I would advise you to speak to her parents immediately. She needs mental health counseling, and if her wounds are serious, medical treatment.


The politicians, in order to get sex offender laws passed, give recidivism rates of 90% or more. Government studies and reports clearly state the opposite where the recidivism rate for sex offenders is 3.5% conviction. Who is telling the truth and why you feel that way. Please keep it civil.....

No. Politicians tend to parrot what the media feeds them and they ignore the facts in the study from the US Department of Justice, that state the recidivism rate for former sex offenders for another sex crime is around 3.5%. Out of approximately 600,000 registered sex offenders in this country, that comes to about 21000 that are likely to re-offend with another sex crime. I realize that even one sex crime against a child is one too many, however, most child sex offenses occur within the child's home by someone who is related to them or someone who is considered a close family friend. The "Stranger Danger" spouted by the media and politicians is a scare tactic to keep the public terrified of going out their front door. The registry does little to protect anyone. The death penalty has never deterred a murder from happening and I would dare say that the sex offender registries will never save anyone from a  sex crime. If the government were to banish all 600,000 Registered Sex Offenders to an island in the middle of the ocean, within 24 hours there would be just as many arrests in the country for sex offenses as there are now. Politicians want votes and the sex offender band wagon gets votes. Most Reformed Offenders just want to get on with their lives. They have family, wives, children, and friends that are affected daily by the stigma placed on them. If a Reformed Sex Offender ends up back in jail, it is usually for another type of crime because the laws are restricting where they can live, where they can work. The system sets a person up to fail and then the recidivism rates increase. It is a shame that a Reformed Sex Offender can perform a heroic act in saving someone from a burning building, but the first thing the media publishes is the fact that he/she was a registered sex offender. No one reads any further than that label. Politicians lie and the media feeds them the lies that they tell.

I have this friend who claims to be straight,but everyone thinks he is gay. He has only had 1 girlfriend ever and all the girls are obsessed with him and think he is drop dead gorgeous.But he wont talk to any of them. And i like him alot and i want to tell him, but i dont want to mess up our friendship if he isn't gay. I think he is in denial about himself and he dosent have anyone to talk to about it because all of his friends are staight and i think if i tell him i like him, then he could and would have another guy to talk to about his sexuality. Im so confused about how to tell him, how to keep our frienship i cherish, and how to know if he is gay, because i dont think he will tell me honestly if i ask him. PLEASE HELP. thx

If this guy is your freind and u think that you know him well, then you should know what his reaction is going to be so you should do what you think is best. Follow ur heart. I know that sounds cheeesy but it's good advice.

They are usually a rail route. It will be useful to connect the two cities. While constructing the tunnel how the engineers prevent the water being entering into the tunnel?

there are various methods of tunnelling under water, one of which is the brunel's shield, this consisted of twelve cast iron sections, the diggers were protected by horizonal timbers held against the face, these could be removed for digging, one at a time, when the face had been dug out to a depth of about 12 in's,the jacks holding the timbers were released which would allow the shield to advance, using other jacks positioned behind the shield, forcing into the working face.\nanother form of constructing a tunnel, is by using the immersed tube method, where tubes (usually elongated boxes) are constructed on land, the ends sealed and floated out to where the tunnel is to be constructed, there they are sunk into a trench dredged into the river/sea bed,the sections are then joined together with watertight joints and covered with the soil dredged from the bed, the ends are then broken through, allowing access to the newly laid tunnel section, whereupon the surface is laid for the service that tunnel is to carry be it road, rail e.t.c.

why does it feel like ur brain's freezing?

The reaction is triggered by the cold substance consumed coming into contact with the roof of the mouth. It irritates nerves in the region (sphenopalatine ganglia), causing them to spasm. These nerves cause the blood vessels in the brain to dilate. When vessels in the brain dilate, a common effect is an acute headache.

Why do you catholics say "i'm not a christian, i'm catholic"? How dumb can you be? Don't you even know that catholic is just another branch in many different branches of christianity? If it has anything to do with the bible and jesus you're a christian. So what if catholic is different from the other branches of christianity? Thats why its called a branch, it doesnt make it a completely different religion just because it has differences all the branches have differences. And also i think its pathetic that other christians call catholics a cult when all along there branch of christianity is also a cult so its like retards arguing with another retard about who's more retarded. Also, stop saying what you believe in is not a religion, if it has anything to do with jesus and the bible its a religion, case closed.

Idiot, we DO call ourselves Christians. Duh.


In American Football, what exactly is a pancake? \n\nI'm 90% sure that its while the Offensive Lineman are blocking someone and they knock them down. But I need confirmation, thanks.

A 'pancake' block is a term used to describe when a player, usually an offensive linemen, tight end or fullback makes an excellent block and takes the defender out of the play completely, leaving him usually on his butt and seeing stars.


I never followed the Yankees mainly because I live in the west coast so i dont care about them. But I start watching the Yankees for the last 3 years and all this hype about Derick Jeter I dont get. He is a good fielder no doubt but I know a lot of short stop that is just like him in terms of fielding. His hitting is not eye poping or anything. He is not a home run guy that people should even know about. And he's not clutch like what people said he is. So why is he getting paid so much? Is it cus he's a good looking player just like A rod?

Ok I will admit I am a Yankees fan but I will try and give you my unbiased opinion. Derek Jeter is slightly overrated but he is still a great player. For one his defense is very overrated he is an average at best defender who tends to make a few exceptional plays a year that stick in peoples minds. His hitting though, for a shortstop is exceptional. He is one of the best offensive shortstops to every play baseball. Not the best but top 10. So far in his first 11 seasons he has hit .314 with 1936 hits, 1159 runs, 169 home runs, 763 RBI's and 215 steals. If he was able to keep up his current pace for 6 more years (very reasonable he will only be 37 then) he will have 3172 hits, 1897 runs, 277 home runs, 506 doubles, 1249 RBI and 353 steals. \n\nThat would place him 15th on the all time hits list 12 hits behind Cal Ripken. That would be the third most hits ever by a shortstop. And 6 more years is just a conservative estimate. He would be only the fourth person to retire with 3000 hits 500 doubles 200 home runs and 300 steals with Paul Molitor, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson.\n\nShortstop has never really been a power hitters position so his 20 home runs a year is pretty good. The last thing that builds Jeter's legacy is his winning. He came up at the start of the Yankees run, he has played in the playoffs every year of his career (minus his initial short callup) and in the playoffs he has hit .307 with a .379 OBP and a .463 SLG\n\nSo I guess I agree with some of your points, he is a sub-par fielder and if he had played on the Pirates and not made all those playoffs he wouldnt be as well known. But he would still be a hall of famer. His numbers are great so far and if he can stay healthy he should end up with some very impressive numbers. Another reason a lot of people love him is the intangibles. He is the Yankees captain, he hustles on every single play, he has kept his nose clean and not gotten into any trouble. He is basically the all american pretty boy and everyone loves that. Whether this is worth 20 million a year I dont know. I dont think he is worth that much on the field but his marketing value probably makes up the difference. I hope that answered your question.


Morrison moved to Paris in March 1971 with the intention of taking a break from performing and concentrating on his writing. Hoping to get his life back on track, Morrison lost a great deal of weight and shaved off his beard.\n\nHe died on July 3, 1971, and was found in his bathtub at the age of 27 by Pamela Courson. Many fans and biographers have speculated that the cause of death was a drug overdose, but according to the official report, the cause of death was heart failure. No autopsy was performed because the medical examiner, pursuant to French law, found no evidence of foul play or criminality. The lack of an official autopsy left many questions unanswered and provided a fertile breeding ground for speculation and rumor\n\nMorrison is buried in "The Poets' Corner" of the famous Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris.


I have to come up with an idea for a business, that is different and unique for my Economy class, any one have any ideas for a different and unique business?

I always thought a combination donut and tire store would do very well.  Two separate business in one building, side by side.  Just think how much money could be saved if the store only needed to buy one big round sign with a hole in the center.  --Tires & Donuts--  Combine the two businesses, use one sign instead of two, and save a lot of money that way.


Do you think I can get points faster by going for best answers? Or just by answering stupid questions fast... Don't know why I'm obsessed with points, just retarded I guess...

haha\nsometimes i do that. there'll be a yes or no question up and if im lazy ill just type in one or the other without an explanation or my reasoning, etc.\nbut sometimes, when its a topic i really know a lot about, and im almost sure i can get those 10 pts for the best answer, i try my best to do so. after all, yahoo answers is here to help people =]\nso to answer ur question, answer them seriously when you want, but be selective. if its a serious question, don't answer with a stupid response, because that'll make the questioner feel bad about themselves. if its a silly one, by all means, respond with a silly answer! you might even get "best answer" because it was the funniest one! ((its happened to me!))

Exo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. \nExo 20:4  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under, the earth

Jesus was the God made Man... He is the Son of God, from all eternity he existed... and became a finite man regulated to the limitations of our human species... for a few short years to fulfill our redemption and open Paradise to all believers... and the Holy Ghost is the spiritual mindal binding unit that God the Father and God the Son share to become ONE... Don't try to use your human limited finite mind to understand a deep DIVINE MYSTERY OF DEITY... Do not put yourself up on the same level as GOD... Just admit that you are a finite man with a limited mind and let some mysteries lay until you gain Paradise to be able to understand them... it keeps you HUMBLE... I hope you know what that is... HUMILITY?  Deity-God is a mystery, not understantable by a human limited mind...


I haven't realised until recently, that I have a kinda strange accent when I sing(It's not that bad, but I want to get rid of it!).  I'm Asian, but I'm currently in Britain, when I speak, I don't have an accent at all,  but when I sing, I do...  I think It's because I speak with a British accent and listen to songs by american artists, and kind of got muddled up(I learn languages very quickly, most of the time it's an advantage, but now it's not.)\n\nI don't want to go on stage with a strange accent, help!

sometimes it's all in your mind, focus. goodluck

Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three Microsoft employees each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple engineers buy only a single ticket.\n\n"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a Microsoft employee. "Watch and you'll see," answers the Apple engineer. They all board the train. The Microsoft employees take their respective seats but all three Apple engineers cram into a rest room and close the door behind them.\n\nShortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the rest room door and says, "Ticket, please."\n\nThe door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Microsoft employees saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea.\n\nSo after the conference, the Microsoft employees decide to copy the Apple engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Apple engineers don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Microsoft employee. "Watch and you'll see," answers an Apple engineer.\n\nWhen they board the train the three Microsoft employees cram into a rest room and the three Apple engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Apple engineers leaves his rest room and walks over to the rest room where the Microsoft employees are hiding.\n\nHe knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please".

I mean essential things like the hole weve had in our ceiling for four months and they just had someone come out and putty it- the ceiling is still bowed! And specificly our backyard fence. It had rusty nails coming out of it all along the fence. And its so termite infested that you can push the panels with two fingers and they fall over Push harder and they sometimes break and kinda crumble. We have two dogs and did when we moved in. There are a million problems here and I am fairly sure if I pursued I could get this place red taged. I'd prefer to stay and fix the problems, if I could deduct. Can I -legally?

What you need to do is write down a list of repairs that need to be done, send a copy to your landlord and submit a copy to your local tenancy board,if in a certain amount of time the landlord still does not do the repairs then the tenancy board can make him do the repairs or they will send someone to do them and bill the landlord.If in doubt contact your tenancy board they will let you know exactly what to do.

My atheism is mostly a private affair with myself.  I only share when asked and if I trust the person enough to tell them.  Religious discussion is not a big issue in my immediate family, so it was unneccessary to "tell anyone".\n\nOnly person I may not tell is my 88 y.o. paternal Granny.  I would only tell her if she asked....but other than that, no.  I do not want to upset what GOOD relationship I have with her, and I want to make our love for each other count for while she remains.

And do women have a customary dress style? With the dress style, i need to find out if the women have some sort of dress costume of some sort. It's for a social studies project/presentation? (For example: In Japan the women wear kimonos for special occassions or whatnot, what about the women in Australia?

Prawns are eaten a lot in Australia because most people in Australia have access to fresh seafood, at a fairly affordable price. I don't really think that the women have a special dress, because Australia is such a multicultural country.

im 14 and i lost like 25 pounds but i guess not the right way and now i cant seem to lose more how and can i get my metabolism up plz help

No such thing as ruining your metabolism.  So, don't worry, we'll get you heathy.  \nFirst, at your age, take a multivitamin, one that has omega fish oil in it.  Why?  Because, your body and brain is developing and to protect yourself from getting mental illness, etc.\nThe reason you couldn't lose more wasn't because your metabolism slowed down, it was because you were just lighter so your body now doesn't have to work as hard to burn as many calories.  So that means you need to excercise more or eat less calories.  Eating less calories does not mean eating less food.  You can eat LOADS of HEALTHY FOOD.\n\nI never ate so much food as when I lost weight.  I suggest you read labels and pick foods that are low in fat and high in protein.  Tuna packed in water(not oil) is a great example.  People get tripped up on their diets by sauces like maynaise, cheeses, creams, salad dressings, etc.  Avoid.  Use mustard, BBQ sauce,  and ketchup.\n\nWalking is great for of exercise, 40 minutes a day is all I ever did and I swam twice a week. I lost 70 lbs in 70 weeks.  I was never ate out and was very strict about no butter and the sauces.  But, I ate and ate healthy low-fat foods like tuna and chicken breast, black beans, salmon, turkey, low-fat chilli, etc.\n\nSo, forget about your metabolism and get in the kitchen and have some fun!  You might become a famous chef!


I think the US would benefit.  She is very smart and almost always poised.  She knows about the world situation and the part we play in it.  She knows all the major players.  I dont know how she stands on domestic issues and depending on those views I may change my mind but as of right now Condi would get my vote for President.  She seems more of a "velvet fist" instead of a in your face "you do what I say or else" sort of person.

Many Muslims claim that Islam was the first religion to give women their rights. I am somewhat confused because of the following:\n\n1- It is know that Khadija was the first wife of prophet Muhammed and she was the one that "SELECTED" him. Does not this mean a woman was allowed to select her husband? (compare this to Muhammed's marriage from Aisha when she did not even know what marriage is).\n\n2- It is also know that Khadija was wealthy. Does not this mean a woman was allowed to manage her own wealth and also to select her husband?\n\n3- There is a prophetical statement (hadith) about a woman who complained to prophet Muhammed that her husband slapped her, and first prophet Muhammed was going to punish that man until god revealed to him that a man is allowed to beat his wife. \n\n4- The history told about many queens before Islam, yet there was no female Kalifa or even judge in Islam (Aisha was a scholar not judge).

Hinduism gives women full rights of inheritance to unmarried girls of the family equal to male members. in Islam females get only 1/3rd.\n\nIn Hinduism married women got inheritance in form of dowry at the time of their marriage. On this dowry and all the jewellery and other gifts were her Stri Dhan(women's property) and she had full control over it.\n\nIf a man spends any part of her wife's money in emergency he has to return that Stri Dhan with interest.\n\nBesides that a man is supposed to hand over his daily income to his wife as she is "Grih Lakshmi" Goddess of wealth.It is one of the marriage vows.\n\nA Hindu married man can not perform Puja without his wife. At the time of Puja woman takes precedent and sits at right side.\n\nHindu women did not used to change their family name after marriage. It is a western custom. Seeta was Janki And Draupadi was daughter of Drupad.\n\nIn fact male heroes are regularly identified with their mother's name in ancient books e.g. Arjuna is called Parth (son of Pritha- Kunti)\n\nShakti is the divine feminine power found in everything. Hinduism is not a male-dominated religion. It is a culture whose only words for strength and power are feminine -- ``shakti'' means ``power'' and ``strength.'' All male power comes from the feminine. And Shakti is the fundamental strength of the feminine that infuses all life and is viewed as a goddess.\n\nShe is the Saraswati(goddess of knowledge).\n\nWomen have contributed to Vedas and Gargi, Matreyee are among most respected philosophers.\n\nHinduism is much older than most religions. Ancient Hindu law gives much more rights than Islam.\n\n In fact position of females in society was much degraded after the Islam entered India. Many restrictions, parada, child marriage were direct result of Muslim invasion. So was the Sati system which got popularity among Rajputs women to get away from harems of  Muslim conquerors.\n\nMost pagan cultures were nature and mother goddess related religions. They regularly respected female and they have all kinds of rights.

Don't children destroy their toys? Evil and free thinking came from somewhere. Why did God allow this? I know he wants us to love him freely, without provocation. But, if you don't, aren't you going to hell anyway-what choice do we really have? Accept Jesus or burn eternally-is that really a choice? Why have the ability of a free mind, when the end result is futile, my way or the hellway. Doesn't this mean God will let a lot of good people die, just because they didn't believe in Jesus? Even though they may have fed homeless, adopted unwanted children, many good deeds. What exactly does free stand for-individual thinking, or corporal direction?

What you seem to have missed is the greater point - you're not your own to begin with - He created you, all he asks now is that you recognize that by accepting him and worshipping him - it is not his desire that any should perish - but being good is not what he designed us to do - he designed us to worship - good deeds are results of our worship - not our means of worship.  You are in the midst of spiritual battle and I'm praying that God will give you spiritual rest and a mentor to lead you personally as opposed to this forum. As a parent I raised my son with certain values.  I have entrusted them to him.  It is now up to him to choose to use them.  If he doesn't then there are consequences he will suffer.  Does that take away his ability to choose for himself?  No.  It just means he didn't heed a more learned and wiser, experienced person.  It is a poor analogy, but it was the best I could come up with.

What if I have the computer turned off at the time?

The damage may not be immediately evident, but little by little the components in a computer are damaged by Voltage Spikes. Voltage spikes occur, not just during electrical storms but also from other electrical equipment like fluorescent lights and electric motors.\nI thought that i was protected but I used to have component failures until bought a good surge suppressor and I don't mean the cheap things they sell in the computer stores. You need to get one that comes with a guarantee, like "This unit will perform as intended for 10 years or we will replace it free of charge".\nI have seen so call surge protectors that have lights on that tell you that it is working. After a voltage surge, a pop was hear and the thing rattled when shaken. The light, however, still came on.\nI recommend Innovative Technology  surge suppressors. They have an excellant sine wave follow device that I have been using for over 10 years. I have not had any hardware failures since I bought it.\nIf the computer is turned OFF, it can still be damaged. It needs to be unplugged to be safe.


how do i get the pigeon 2 move i need the money out of the parking meter.. and i need 2 get the stuff out the store any help?

My friend committed suicde 3 1/2 months ago well I seen the pic of him but what puzzled me was that the only thing that was holding him up was the chain besides that he would of been face down :( but his mom got the autopsy report and the ruled it a suicde i personally dont think that it was a suicde but I am looking for opinions :)

what makes you think he didnt commit suicide? There are several signs to consider suchas : DId he give away valuable things that he cherished? Was he out trying to make peace with enemies? Was he depressed alot more than usual? Problems with a girlfriend or someone else? I can relate cause my brother committed suicide in 1993. May God be with you and loved ones!

I'm already entertaining the ideas of Temple and Juilliard. Any opinions or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Julliard is over rated. My honest suggestion is if you are interested in opera, head to the west coast. There are some good schools (USC, CSULB, and Chapman) that have good undergraduate programs (although USC is more grad based) in any case make sure that the program you are looking at has not only a good teacher for you but also opportunities for undergraduate performance in opera. If you are never going to get on stage in an opera...what's the point of going to that school to study opera? Oh and Cincinatti school of music is good too...but again...graduate centered opera. (don't go to a choral school...go to an opera school)


Okay, so he tells me he would date me and he flirts and stuff, but then we barely talk inn person and it seems like he doesn't have any interest... what's the deal?

Question 1: \ni. a republican form of government \nii. ratify 13th Amendment \niii. entitle blacks to an education\n\nQuestion 2:\nAnalysis\nOn Jan. 1, 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared free all slaves residing in territory in rebellion against the federal government. This Emancipation Proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply to slaves in border states fighting on the Union side; nor did it affect slaves in southern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states in rebellion did not act on Lincoln's order. But the proclamation did show Americans-- and the world--that the civil war was now being fought to end slavery. \n\nLincoln had been reluctant to come to this position. A believer in white supremacy, he initially viewed the war only in terms of preserving the Union. As pressure for abolition mounted in Congress and the country, however, Lincoln became more sympathetic to the idea. On Sept. 22, 1862, he issued a preliminary proclamation announcing that emancipation would become effective on Jan. 1, 1863, in those states still in rebellion. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in America--this was achieved by the passage of the 13TH Amendment to the Constitution on Dec. 18, 1865--it did make that accomplishment a basic war goal and a virtual certainty. \n\nQuestion3: no clue, just read this\nIn the Wake of the Reconstruction  \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\na.

P.S. I'm talking about the speed of light.

The comment about a worm hole (or warping for that matter) is only partially true.  The object that travels through a worm hole or a space warp still can only travel (assuming it has a mass) at the speed of light through that worm hole or space warp.  It only "appears" to travel much faster than that from an "observer" not in the worm hole or warp.\n\nThe difference is the "effective" speed can be much faster than light; however, the object can only travel the speed of light.\n\nAn example; lets say that you have a car that travels at 100 mph (~160 km/hr) and you "created" a worm hole (or space warp) to travel from New York to LA.  You would still only drive at 100 mph, but the travel time form NY to LA would be fractions of a second thus for an observer from say Dallas would "see" your car one moment in NY and a faction of a second later "see" your car arrive in LA.\n\nFor people that might not understand a worm hole is like folding the map of the US in our example and if you can "fold the map" in the right way such that NY and LA are right on top of eachother it would only take a fraction of a second to travel from NY to LA in your car.


"you skinny punks......that this...doesn't pickle...........and jam it all up your *ss"\n\n\nThose are the things I remember. I heard it somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

Its a quote from a movie\n\nTommy Boy (1995)\n\nTommy: You better pray to the god of skinny punks that this wind doesn't pick up, cos I'll come over there, and jam an oar up your ass.


I'm trying to develop a middle school science lab that tests whether the time it takes to boil a volume of water doubles for a doubling of volume given a constant heat input.  I think the answer is that it isn't quite a linear relationship, and that the time is slightly less than doubled when the volume of H2O is doublied.  But, I don't know why (although surface tension of H2O may hold one clue).  Could you point me to the appropriate Internet resources to help me with this lab setup?\n\nBig Thanks!\nThomas B

Well... break it down to formulas. 1 calorie is the energy needed to heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree celcius.\n\nSo to heat 1000 grams of water (1 liter) by 1 degree, it takes 1000 calories. Now double the water to 2 liters and it will take 2000 calories.\n\nIf you are adding heat at a rate of 1000 calories per minute, then 1 liter of water heats at 1 degree celcius per minute and 2 liters heat at a rate of 1/2 degree celcius per minute. So yes. It is linear.\n\nHOWEVER (there is always a however) there are many factors that go into this in a lab setup. Namely, a larger volume of water will have more surface area and disipate heat to the suroundings faster. Also, a larger pan (wider) will heat faster than a taller pan. Etc, etc, etc.


My son has custody of his 9 year old daughter and is returning to school. He needs all the help he can get for expenses he will have while there. He will have something from the G.I. bill, but not enough fo all. thanks

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!


if it were LIFE IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT? With just life in prison he will be protected by other Muslims and probably over the next 20 years be able to pass information to his fellow Muslim cohorts. Your thoughts please?

I for one almost gagged when I heard he was coming to the colorado supermax...then i read a list of other infamous prisoners there, yikes!  remind me  to never drive past the town of florence lol.  I absolutely think the US messed up by giving him life.  He didn't even want to live and he is only a detriment to himself and society so it's a lose-lose situation as I see it.  lol i'm going to go find a fluff q now! :p


My boyfriend has always had an issue with mentioning anything to do with girls in front of me. I've asked him amny times but he always says I do not know. I am not the type to get mad and yell I just want to know why.  I have been feeling wierd about this one girl having these wierd gut feelings, not nessecarily that he is doing something with her but more that he doesnt want me to know he talks to her and hangs out with her.  \nThe other day he went out with his friend they were only going to go hang out at his house and watch some wrestling.  He came home and told me all about it..that was that. The next day I went on yahoo to check my mail and when I went to open it his email poped up (He forget to sign out) there was an email from this girl...and it said thank you for coming last night.  Well I comfronted him very politly and let him know what I saw, and just asked where did he go?He just says I didnt think you needed to know...am i wrong for being hurt about this???

No. He's basically hiding things from you. You feel like he should be able to tell you anything. But because he's keeping things from you, its like he doing something behind your back, like cheating. You may be feeling a little insecure but its only because he's making you feel that way.

I recently signed up for a membership on this peer-to-peer service http://www.247downloads.com/ which is supposed to be legitimate. I paid for a full year membership, but only after I signed up do they explain in convoluted detail that their service is likely to be blocked by many ISP's due to the port that is required to exchange content with other members. Does anyone have experience with this? I don't mind paying for content at a reasonable price, but if my own ISP is blocking the use of the service, what are my options? Refund? Feedback would be appreciated

just use torrents. u get everything u want and for free.


What would you do if you had half an hour to live? Because the world powers simutaneously launched their nuclear weapons.

If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at the same time the world would not end, and every one would not die.  Many, even most, people would die, and the planet may suck more than it does now but I would spend 30 Min doing my best to ensure that I was not one of the ones who would die.

I've been in a Rehab center for Brain Injuries for the past 4 years this June. I have been abused while I have been here. I need a Lawyer to take my case so that I can get out of here and live on my own.

In all jurisdictions, there are lawyers who do pro bono work.  You can find them out by contacting the bar association for your area.  There are often state bar associations, county associations, city associations.  All lawyers may not be listed in each one.  So check each one in your area.  Go to the link below and enter your city and state in the box and see what comes up.  Or you can just call 411 and the operator can help you.  \n\nAlso, if you live near a university that has a law school, they have law clinics that help people in the community for little or no money.  Visit the school and they can help you too.  \n\nPlease do not be discouraged.  The system is designed to be intimidating.  But there are mechanisms out there to help you so just be patient and something will come through for you.  \n\nGood luck and let me know if you need additional help trying to find someone.


He had been avoiding me and doesn't want to coomunicate with me, but i can't move on, how should I approach him that he might at least smile.  Been 9 months that we didn't talk.

if u really like him,then wait some more time and just meditate during this gained period,yr positive vibrations will definitely bring him close to u even u don't communicate with him,feel the power of meditation with in u,observe perfact silence.

This is for all sports, why does no one cheer for the champ? everyone wants the underdog to win why is that?

Because we are all underdogs in some respect. Seeing the underdog beat the odds, gives us hope that we too can overcome the challanges we face in our everyday lives.\n\nEither that or people are just jealous and dont want those who are actually good at something to win.


I need to find a place that is beautiful, perfect, but inexpensive. I am getting married July 3 of this year and can't seem to find my fairytale place and don't have the money to just pick any one that I want. Any suggestions?

someones Backyard that you know that will allow you to decorate in the elegance that you want.  My sister is getting married in my brothers back yard which is not real big but a nice size and food will be provided by family to cut even more cost but still all in all she will get what she really wants and that is her parents and family members to see the wedding don't blow your money so friends that you barely see or people you just have to invite come and eat and drink and probably won't even bring a gift.


My dad used to be a cop and sometimes when my friends would want to go to a party I was either not invited or someone at the party wanted to start something with me and it took a long time to get people to trust me and when they came around and started to trust me then I would never do anything to make them distrust me again.\nSo,I was wondering if anybody had ever experianced this too or similar.

YES, because I was in the US Army and spent 3 years in Vietnam.


for trying to get out of the house before i turn 18

My question is how long does it take to completely get out of my system since it has obviously built up now over the past two weeks? I am still having some side effects (high bp/flushing skin/face, anxiety, etc) however they seem to be getting better-just curious.

if you do see someone that acts ghetto with notraining for the public driving a new car it always be the cheaper version of a nice car such as (carpet seats)

What kind of question is that?!?!?!People that don't have any respect are not always "ghetto acting".There are a lot of people who act ghetto that have nice cars.I have a ghetto family and they have nice cars and a house.Having a nice car should'nt be a reason for having respect it should be how you show it.Atleast they have a car!!!

go to your control panel and then click on the Add/Remove Programs icon and then click on the Add/Remove Windows Components tab on the left side of the screen and there will be a list of programs.

i have been with him for 7 yr's, they have been seperated for 8. (not legally, just living apart.) she has had 2 children by another man, has given these children the other mans last name, and we have never met these children. is it possible for her to recieve child support on the grounds of "any child born w/in a marriage is considered the husbands"? even if he gets genetic testing? could we attempt to get custody of these two as she is abusive and has been proven unfit of taking care of thier 2 children?

Your playing with fire there. The court could very well take them away from all of you. You want child support from the biological father you file for it at the prosecutors office, and they handle it.

I have loooked up all of the skin conditions that have to do with white spots and none of them look like what I have except for guttate hypomelanosis, but I don't think it's that either.  My skin is a little red, which makes the white spots really show up.  I think the white spots may be my actual color of my skin.  If I rub them they will go away for a second and them come back. Can anyone help me?  Please!!

Are they like freckles, but white instead of brown?  If so, it's basically the same thing.  Not inherently dangerous.  \n\nKeep an eye on them though, because if they change size, shape, or color, it could be an indication of something bad (Melanoma).


I'm 13 and 4'11. I already had my growth spurt and the doctor says I won't grow any taller. I recently went on a diet and lost 15 lbs. but gained 10 lbs. back. My stomach has just kept getting bigger and bigger and I can't fit any of the pants that I wore before I even went on the diet. I lost about 2 more lbs. later but my belly just keeps getting bigger and now jiggles when I walk. I would never get belly fat when I was younger, only in my butt. As I eat less, I keep getting fatter. Please help!

this might be caused by an infection of the liver. you see it a lot in those campaigns to stop hunger in 3rd world countries. This is typically irreversible, but you should go to a doctor and get it diagnosed as soon as possible.

I know its bad and all of society frown upon me but why do i do it. I am married, have been for 4 years, together for 9, but at the moment I am having an affair, dont tell me it is bad, i know that already - I just want to be happy is that so wrong...................

You've got a lot of people trashing you right now.  No one seems to be considering that people change and sometimes a couple grows apart.\n\nI don't think it's wrong for you to want to be happy.  LIfe is too short to waste time being miserable.  But you need to level with husband because he's entitled to happiness too.\n\nGood luck.


Some people say recycling should be required by law. Others say that it should be a personal choice. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Use specific reasonals and examples to support your answer.

Legally it should be encouraged, but to enforce such a law would be nearly impossible.  A special branch of law enforcement would be required for trash patrol and the sanition workers would have to open every bag to ensure compliance.  Trash collection would slow to a crawl and become so expensive that you couldn't afford to pay.


I am going back to school to complete my degree in Cultural Anthropolgy.  At times I hear there are not many jobs in this area (do Cultural Anthropologists still go out in the field and study ethnic groups? And where?) I have also heard that now many companies are hiring Cultural Anthropologists in order to obtain a base foundation about their customers and customs, especially in large cities with multiple cultures, is this true?  Thank you.

I teach, in other lands, as I learn and grow.\nAnthropology majors can contribute to mutual understanding\nbetween different races, religions, and cultures.\n\nThe world becomes a better place in the deal.


my nextdoor neighbor(bro $ sis) both have brown eyes and me and my bro both have green eyes. their spanish. we are white. both of our dads have brown eyes and both of our moms have green eyes. what's up with that?

genetics is the study of heredity and variation. most traits are inherited from the parents; sometimes it's the same as the father's, sometimes it's the same as the mother's, other times it's a combination of both and in some cases, the traits inherited can not be seen in any of the parents. \n\nlet's try to find out the probabilities or chances of inheriting the eye color trait... i think brown eye color is a dominant trait (B), and green eye color is probably recessive (b) so:\n\nif the father (or male/m) is heterozygous dominant for the trait (Bb) and the mother (or female/f) is most probably homozygous recessive (bb) then...\nm\f b b\nB Bb Bb\nb bb bb\n-----------\n2 Bb : 2 bb\nor 50% chance of brown eyes and 50% chance of green eyes\n\nbut if the father (or male/m) is homoozygous dominant for the trait (BB) and the mother (or female/f) is most probably homozygous recessive (bb) then...\nm\f b b\nB Bb Bb\nB Bb Bb\n------------\n4 Bb\nor 100% chance of brown eyes


I am in the military and would like to find a girl that is in the military also. Are there like any social events that they put on for soldiers to find their significant other soldier? I know its stupid but I was just wondering, I dont work with females so I dont know anything about this.

At our base there is something called BOSS, better opportunity for single soldiers...they love it ..have all kinds of events and go all kinds of places..but thats army. when i was in the air force, we didnt have anything at my base..try the enlisted club to see if they have anything, or a local church has a singles thing. if there isnt anything, start something. BOSS is a huge thing here.

Kick his ass or make some stronger men beat him up so he won't move out of his place.


this just my suggestion.  i think the penguins should move to a western city.  i think detroit should be out east.  they would benefit and it would provide more challenging teams that they don't face.  the wings are in a weak division.  they play too many crappy teams.  i say put them in a tougher division.

If the penguins leave Pittsburgh no team will replace them, at least in this city.  They don't need and I hope they don't get a new arena, they are a losing team and Mario needs to cut his loses and realize that a new arena is not going to increase attendence or make the team prophitable in this town.  I don't know much else about the subject ;)  Just think they should leave and we should pick up an NBA team instead.


A 4.0 kg iron ball at 225 degrees Celsius is placed in a container of liquid water at 4 degrees Celsius. When the system reaches equilibrium at 45 Celsuis, what must be the mass of water in the container. ( c for water= 4180 j/kg, the c for iron + J/kg.)

Are you not doing your own thermodynamics homework?\n\nspecific heat of Iron- solid   = 4440 J/(kg*K)\nspecific heat of water- liquid = 4180 J/(kg*K)\n225C = 498.13K\n\nThe iron ball will give up 4440 J * 4 (mass)* 180 (temp difference).  This is 3196800J= 3196.8kJ\n\nUse that to heat the water from 4 degrees to 45 degrees.\nT change is 41 degrees.\n3196800J/ (4180J/(kg*K) * 41k (temp)) = 3196800/171380 \n= 18.65kg of water in the container.\n(there are no phase changes, so you don't have to worry about those losses, assuming a closed container)

What does this have to do with the Military Question & Answer segment of Questions & Answer?


get to know the root cause of her havin' a low- self esteem.try to figure out the thing which is makin' her think in that manner. well, when u get a chance just appreciate her hobbies , or her way of talkin' or the way of socializin with ppl. praise her if she's beautiful (not necessary, infact), they say outer beauty is sometimes a boost to fill some 1 with confidence. just try to help the person develop her personality and get to know themselves better, their +ve points and the -ve 1s . instead of cribbin' over like a baby that ,"i can't do this", "i'm not worth havin'this" "i'm worthless or useless" , try to make the person realize her capabilities.every body's got immense potential. tell her good words like" life is full of hopes, filled with ambitions to b fullfilled , lots of love to b showered onto the loved ones, & u wouldn't want to die as a person havin' low-self esteem , would u?"(just ask her this )and there's lotta things to do !! !when 1's stuck with all the gloom in the world , 1 can't enjoy life, no matter how much ever the others try to cheer up.at the moment try to roam around places if u boh aren't busy , tell the person her true potentials(which u had noticed earlier and this should b done in a soothin' way) .instill confidence within her, by improvin' her skills/ hobbies/ talents and academically too.so good luck! ! !


How can I go in front of 2 masters and 1 judge with proven evidence that the biological father, who hasn't been around for 7 years, only recently popped into the picture and breaks promise after promise, does not follow court orders, and has lied so many times that I was able to catch him in them - all of this written proof by me, family, and other court advocates, and yet the court is allowing this child to travel 5 states away to be with him because "now" he is showing an interest!  Is Maryland the only messed up state that does not look at proven evidence and child's best interest?

No, your not the only one that feels that way. My girlfriend is from Maryland. She has been going through custody issues with her soon to be ex, and it has been a nightmare. He wanted absolutely nothing to do with his two kids while they were living under the same roof. Then when she left, he tried to be father of the year. He injured his son recently and charges were filed against him. He is calling his son a liar and denying what happened. It isnt the fault of the court system, its the idiotic judges who make the rulings. Remember Judge Palumbo who was recently removed from the bench in Prince Georges county over the woman whose ex-husband set her on fire? He is a prime example of an idiotic, biased judge.

A union is essentially a structure in which all of the fields overlay each other; you can only use one field at a time. (You can also cheat by writing to one field and reading from another, to inspect a type's bit patterns or interpret them differently, but that's obviously pretty machine-dependent.) The size of a union is the maximum of the sizes of its individual members, while the size of a structure is the sum of the sizes of its members.


"God made you a man- how dare you question God's wisdom in this". They say that you shouldn't change the body "God gave you", but if it is a baby with a deformity that is corrected with surgery, then it's not trying to second-guess God, but saving a life?\n\nIs a child with a horrible birth defect an example of God's wisdom? If it is, God is asleep at the wheel.\n\nIs this just a good example of a double standard?\n\nFixing a psychological problem such as transssexualism with a physical solution like a sex change has proven to be a highly successful method of treatment for transsexualism.\n\nCounselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists have tried unsuccessfully for years to change the mind to match the body- that doesn't work, so then they change the body to match the mind, and it's a success.\n\nAny thoughts on this?

and we finally have a hands down salute from CITY GIRL!!!! well said. while I have no comment on my feelings of this subject, you made great sense and maybe some of the Jesus freaks(boy, am I ganna catch hell for that) will be at a loss for words, but I'm sure they will find a verse in the  bible to prove you wrong!


My science project is that we are supposed to make a water filtration device that will filter dirty lake water. The water will consist of sand, leaves and rocks. I'm not very creative in these sorts of things so help me out? Have you done this project before and what did you use? Ways to filter sand leaves and tiny rocks out of water? salt too without evaporating the water?

Here is what I would suggest.  First let the water stand still for a while to settle heavy particle as sand, pebbles, rocks etc.  Then using coffee filter or thick paper towel, decant water.  That should take care of smaller stuff.  Then you use fine powder charcoal and add to your water (filterate).  Let it sit for 10 minutes and stirr occasionally.  Then filter the water using coffee filter or paper towel and you will have odor free-clear, very pure (~ 99%+ water) that can be used for drinking.  If you want absolute pure, before charcoal step, heat the water to boil, cool and then do charcoal step and you will have killed all bio organisms also.


Any websites where i can religious books and prayer beads and any relgious clothing or hats\n\nBUT FOR FREE

For Jewish literature I would have to say that Chabad is really good about putting their books on-line for free for those who cannot afford or don't want to pay for them.


I heard they did this back in the Roman Empire days. I really don't know for sure though.

Well, if one midget was sacrificed by the rest, the tiger would probably become distracted enough to give those midgets a chance to choke the tiger while stomping it's feet, poking it's eyes,  and yanking it's tail. Kind of like a bunch of toddlers ganging up on a cat.\n\nWith the exception of the one sacrificed for the rest, those midgets could probably walk away with only some scratches. Pretty deep ones, but non-life threatening if medical attention is given immediately afterward.

YOU HAVE A LOT OF FUN\n\nin answer to your question...don't fear anyone....it never stopped Allen Iverson (I noticed your picture...I Like Iverson too!!!


it seems like everywhere i go, people are honking at each other, or staring you down with an evil glare, or just plain saying something stupid or mean. just because you had a bad day, it doesn't mean you have to make me have a bad day. why can't we just be nice to each other?

How is it you were able to write that qusetion without it being censored? You definately get points for that.\n\nAs for your question, I agree.  Unfortunately we can't control other people or make them be nice.  The only thing we can do is forgive them.  Forgiving someone doesn't make them any less wrong, and it doesn't mean we have to start liking the person, but it does set us free so that we don't have to walk around pi$$ed off all of the time.  So basically we have a choice.  We could forgive and be happy, or not forgive and let the bastards get us down.

My husband is a type 2 diabetic and was diagnosed about 2 years ago.  Originally he took both glyburide & glucophage.  After about a year (and losing 65 pounds) he was taken off the glyburide.  He is doing exceptionally well and I haven't seen ANY blood test number go over 137 in approximately 9 months.\nThe only thing that bothers him is approx. every couple of weeks or so, he'll get low to medium kidney aching.  This will last for 2-4 days and then go away.  We notice no rise in blood sugar levels during this time and he always drinks more than enough water so he isn't dehydrating.\nDoes anyone have an idea about the kidney pain?  Is it possible that he doesn't need the glucophage anymore and that using is it causing kidney overwork?  I do understand that we need to get him back to the doctor, but currently don't have insurance, so any thoughts/ideas from the good folks out there would be appreciated.\nHe is 39, 6' 4", and currently weighs 245 lbs. He takes (1) 500mg glucophage per day.

I really think the only piece of advice to give in the instance is go see the doctor and yes I know you already no this.  It's best to not get this type of advice through this forum.  There are many people out there that know nothing about diabetes yet give lots of advice on the subject.  My question to you is .. Does your husband see an Endocrinologist or a General Practitioner?  If he sees a GP and isn't getting the treatment he needs he really should see an Endocrinologist - a specialist in the field of diabetes.  I only say this because I have found many Type II's do not see one or know that they exist.\n\nI hope you get the answers you need and that it isn't a serious problem.  Sounds like he is taking great care of himself and that is FANTASTIC - It's great he has you looking out for him, we have to help as much as we can!  Good Luck!
