where I come from, is a lot of it, your neighbour if jealous of you , can bewitch you, either you become sick ,die, become barren , get accidents anything bad you can think of. \nBut I have not heard about it in north America or Europe.I it also a threat here?

Your description of "witch craft" here is not the way we do it in California.  We know that whatever we do to others comes back to us threefold.  Therefore, it is clearly in our best interests to do good with any magic we may have, rather than harm.  But it is a common practice among many peoples to use the threat of being able to do evil magic on you as a way to gain the cooperation of those a person would use.  Such practice has often been referred to as "magic" or "witchcraft," but that is not the western world Neopagan style of witchcraft or Wicca.\n\nAs I say, what comes back is three-fold.  If you harm another, that three-fold increase could be enough to make you in mortal peril.  It is clearly not in one's karmic best-interests, if you will, to go around hurting others, especially unnecessarily.\n\nSo, an ye harm none, do what thou will.  But be darn sure you are prepared to face all the consequences, intended and unintended, to what you decide to do.  What thou will is nowhere near the same as what thou whim, my dears!

I am currently teaching in a high school and would love to supplement my income by contributing interesting feature stories to a local newspaper in my conutry. I therefore need some tips on how to produce magnificent pieces that will catch the eye of the editor and eventually get paid for them. I intend to write 2 articles a week in my free time and email them to the editor.

If you want to be a freelance writer:\n\nAny publisher will accept a great article--if it's well written, targeted at their audience, and the type of writing they publish.\n\n#1 Call and find out what types of articles they look for from freelance writers.  Most publications are in desperate need of *something*.  \n\n#2 You won't be paid up front.  But, once you know what they want, come up with a few story ideas geared toward the publication.\n\n#3 Call back and run the ideas by the editor.\n\n#5 Write and submit the one he seems most interested in, close to the word count he says. \n\n#6 If it isn't accepted, call back to ask for feedback why.\n\n#7 Edit your story until he likes it.  And pays you for it.  All publications have a per-word rate for writing.\n\nOnce you get a few pieces published--even 100 word details-only pieces, you will be considered dependable enough to be given "assignments" and you will have a "track record" for larger publications.\n\nAnd don't let an editor's constructive criticisms deter you either.  They would love to find and encourage a great writer.  Most people just don't follow through after not getting an immediate "assignment."\n\nAnd:\nGive them an intreguing title suggestion (A billion creative titles each year can get difficult for them to come up with)\nDon't write in first person (Don't say: "I went in..."  Say, "When you enter the bordello..." ;-)  \nUse an active voice (Don't say "As she was walking..."  Say "As she walked.")\nAnd never EVER wake up from a dream at the end of your story.\n;-)


We have all saw the evidence, but is this monster real?

I think it is possible that there may be some type of undiscovered ape out there... There have been other instances of scientists finding an animal that was previously unknown or thought extinct. I live in a rural area near a river bed where there have been several claims of Bigfoot sightings. My neighbor and I have heard several very loud blood curdling yells/screams over the years that we have no idea what animal could make them. My Mom, sister and nephew swear that they saw a huge hairy man-ape looking thing on the way home from my house last summer. I asked them what they were smoking but all three of them swear they saw it. If there is one around here I hope to catch a glimpse of him one day.


If you have not heard of Zacarias Moussaoui get out from under your rock.  As of 12:14, 3.27.06 the news had reported Moussoui had taken the stand, and had speculated that he was going for martyrism.  The question is: should we allow him to die the graceful death, or should we have him live in solitude untill old age takes him?  Kicker question: if you think we should go ahead and kill him, how should he die?

I am not religous but i believe that what goes around , comes around in a strange sort of way. I would really let this man suffer as he has a total disrespect for human life, he is weak & this will show in the coming months.


We talk once in a while, but not really. I really want to go out with her, you know, to te movies for a first date, but...

ok one, movies, not a good place. you dont even get to know her that well then. Go to a resturaunt. Much better. NOW, best thing to do is have the guts, because girls really do respect guys that are WILLING and CONFIDENT in their selves. BUT, where there is a will there is a way. Go to one of your buddies, and if he is friends with her have him go up to her and say "hey, i think my friend here likes you, but im not sure, would you want me to hook you up with em?" somthing like that, that way he isnt saying you DO like her. but he isnt asking FOR you. he is just helping HER out kuz he wants to be "matchmaker" ect. so you are excluded from the shame of rejection. but having the guts is recomended. somtimes you just have to take risks for love. good luck dude.


what is the extra thing that an mba gets compared to a technical graduate? why isdthere a rush for technical graduates towards premier management colleges in india?

You will be a manager sooner...so if you want to stay working on technical subjects you don't need an MBA, but if you want to manage or start your own firm the MBA is helpful.


the words of the chorous go 'old man livity lost his sensibility ...... young man knows that forever is far too long to wait for the perfect day... something I know Something I know please don't tell me something I know, I open my mouth I try to speak, you come for a day and you stay for a week.....

"The Perfect Day" Lyrics (by FISCHER Z     i think


Politically, I go by the motto "I'd love to do all these things for people if only we had the money." Is this weird? I really identify with Libertarians, but the actual party is such a lame duck.

I would have to say that you are not alone. I see that most stereotypes have liberals as tax and spend. And as far as the elected officials go, they are mainly right most of the time. But as for the basic grass roots of the people, I would say that most of us are socially liberal (which is the true defining factor that divides the parties) and fiscally conservative. Anyone who goes through life paying their bills on time and has hopes of saving for the future ends up that way sooner or later, no matter what they vote socially. All of our elected officials are tax and spend, both parties...across the board. The difference is what the money is being spent on and who gets taxed for it. Dems are usually taxing the higher incomes and the businesses to take a little burden off of the average working family. and they spend on social issues more than conservatives. Republicans are big defense spenders and corporate welfare lately as well NEO-CONS). They tend to Save the highest 10% of the population from the tax burden and shift it to the rest of the population. In order to hide this fact, over the past 6 years, they have spent a surplus in the billions, and racked up an all time high deficit in the trillions. And under cover of the war they have managed to get a blank check mentality from most of the public.\n  I have a social conscience, but I will usually vote with my wallet.


I want detail!!!!!,\n and use the USA, or western places, as case study.

There are different models of democracy in the "West". Three useful categories are DIRECT democracy, REPRESENTATIVE democracy and PARTICIPATORY democracy.\n\nA direct democracy is one where the citizens are directly involved in making policy decisions. This means people will effectively vote to decide what should be done.\n\nA representative democracy (eg. US and Australia) is one where leaders are elected to make decisions and have a responsibility to pursue the interests of those who elected them. \n\nIn a participatory democracy, government will make an effort to include citizens in decision-making. They may conduct polling, or run policy forums to inform people but ultimately the decision rests with government, guided by the public. This style of democracy is evident in some Scandinavian countries.\n\nThe reality of the system? It's not a perfect system of government. Sometimes governments ignore the public. Sometimes governments with alot of financial support from interest groups will look after their needs before the needs of the rest of the population and then have the funds to run massive media campaigns for their re-election. Sometimes people are malleable enough to forget that they were lied to or disadvantaged around election time. But when the day comes that people have had enough and decide it's time for a change, they can vote for a new leader. And that is why Churchill said "Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried". \n\nCheers!


I'm sure everyone has seen or heard some of Chavez's political rantings about the USA, yet unfortunately we are his biggest customer for his oil exports. So, why don't we organize an allout boycott of all of the CITGO gas stations in the USA and really hit him where it hurts most....his pocket and teach him a lesson. This way maybe he will take his oil to Cuba since he's a buddy of Castro or calm down some of his rhetoric?\n\nAnyone agree or think it will be possible to organize a boycott?

Chavez needs Bush like Bush needs Chavez. I wouldn't be surprised if they dint talk on the phone now and again.


i was wondering what the music is in it.\ndoes anybody know what the song is called and who did it?

I seen it and it looks like it is going to be a great movie, but I've been fooled before with some of the trailers that they put out for movies. They make the movie look really good and then when you go to watch it it sucks.


my whole life I hadvae had pets, especially dogs. we always adopted our dogs from shelters or from people who abued and neglected them terribly. i have read some arguments saying pet dogs are not haram, and others saying they are. \n\nbut, if they are, i guess i will have to pay for it, because i would never send my puppies back to the shelter. they would be miserable, hurt and betrayed (and when i make a promise, i keep it).

No where in the Islamic traditions is it reported that owning a dog is haram.  It may be 'makrooh' (frowned upon, but not forbidden) because of its uncleanliness.  The rule is that everything in our daily affairs is halal (allowed) unless there is a specific narrated restriction.  \n\nIn addition, Islam teaches us that any act of charity and compassion to animals is rewarded by God.  Even if you plant seeds for a tree and birds eat the seeds or fruits, then you get rewarded.  Based on this, an act of taking care of abandoned animals is most probably better than leaving them to rot.  \n\nMost certainly, God will consider all your actions based on intention.  I say, feel confident to own a dog and take care of it, but you may want to keep it away from places such as your kitchen, bedroom, or other primary living quarters. Most importantly, ask Allah for guidance in the matter by doing 'istikhara' prayers.\n\nThat being said, it is highly advisable to perform wudu (ablution) after playing with a dog and before salat (prayers).\n\nAnd God only knows best.\n\np.s. Based on your request previously, I have added a link below that lists additional Islamic prayers and pearls of wisdom.  Hope it is beneficial.


I believe the English education is a lot better than the US education. I have personal experience in both. And what I learnt in the American schools, I learnt it all in the English school and more than what the American education offers. At the age of 16 in the English system you take your exams GCSE's or for international students in the English systems, it's IGCSE. Same thing. With that you can get into a University. In the American schools, at the age of 16, you wouldn't be doing anything. except maybe your SAT's or ACT's. Maybe the American education should take a look at there own education and rethink how to improve then make it worst.

u r right.... American students are weak in math and chemistry, they cant spell things right and their writing is wormy.\nEnglish system gives the students more confidence through a well designed program.... Amercan educ should restablish it self again


a person who is upfront about the truth of who they are and how they really think and feel, or someone who plays games and hides behind a fasad?\n\nPersonally, I have more respect for an honest atheist than an insincere Christian.

An honest person who is upfront about the truth


20 minutes before my shift ended a large table came into another waitress' section. She refused to take the table (which you aren't allow to refuse tables), another waitress in our non-smoking area refused to take the table even though she had an hour and 20 minutes to go before her shift ended. I was forced to take the table because no one else was in our area. I noticed my former stalker in that group and immediately backed off from taking the table, telling the other waitresses that I couldn't put my safety in danger. (No  legal action was taken against the stalker, he backed off from me after another manager a year ago or so threw him out of our restaurant but I still don't want to give him my interaction). My General Manager refuses to fix the situation. I did call my manager an asshole after he told me I either take the table or get fired. He is well known for being arrogant, cruel, and anti-women. Most of our servers at our store are women so we have all felt his wrath before.

Your first step should be to file for unemployment. If you win your claim, your unemployment wages are paid by the company that fired you. It sounds like you have worked there long enough to qualify. You should also talk to all the other employees who were there that day who witnessed these events. Get written statements from them confirming what happened. You should even talk to the first waitress who refused the table, let her know you are not trying to get her in trouble but rather the manager, and let them all know that it is important that they be as detailed as possible in what they remember. The fact that you swore at your manager is probably not a good thing, but in my experience you are most likely to get the unemployment if you give them all the details.\n\nNow, if you do get the unemployment, the fact that the store now has to pay you even though you aren't working might make them reconsider giving you your job back, to save money.\n\nAs far as getting your manager in trouble, your best option there is probably to go to the regional or district manager. If you can't find contact information for this person at the store, you could try calling Denny's customer support at 1-800-733-6697. Ask them to direct you to the Human Resources department. Before you do this, again get all the support from your coworkers to back you up on this.\n\nFinally, for every one of these situations, it would be in your benefit to talk to an attorney, to know where the law is on your side. A good resource for this is Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., they are well-equipped to handle situations like this. You can find more info about PPLSI at http://www.prepaidlegal.com/info/danhenderson\n\nHope this helps!


in the way that there are too many people

Depends on your point of view. Some people (not me) think that Sydney should be single story dwelling with quarter acre backyards. There's plenty of scope to raise the medium density side of Sydney along key transport corridors.\n\nThere still is a lot of land yet to be open up to development. One thing that does need to follow the growth in the outer suburbs is services like transport, schools hospitals etc.\n\nOne thing is for sure is that Sydney will be growing. The NSW government has a pretty good resource online with facts and figures called "Metro Strategy"


Like, tan 45 would be sin over cos which = square root 2/2 divided by square root 2/2 which = 1  \n\nKind of hard to explain what this is, but whats the trig function of cos 315 degrees. It has to be done like the 1 I tried to explain.

cos(315)degrees=cos(360-45degrees)\n               =cos 45degrees\n               =1/root2


ayurveda is the traditional indian medicine.

CHARAKA the sage and  old Hindu medico also believed to be the Physician of Lords,was the one to have founded Ayurveda the Veda of life.(Ayurveda is a part of Atharvana Veda one of Hindu religeous classics-the others being Rig,Saama and the Yajur Vedas)In 5th century A.D.  SUSRUTHA revived the science of Ayurveda.SUSRUTHA SAMHITHA is the Sanskrit Text book of medicine.Susrutha was also the First Surgeon of Ayurveda.

Is the U.S. going to go to war with Iran now???  It looks kind of grim.  We are still losing soldiers in Afganastan. How many wars can we have going on at one time.

Toss North Korea in the mix and what we have is a disaster waiting to happen!  None of it looks good at ALL.  I fear it's a real possibility.


hmmm..his just worried if he get me pregnant.... coz his wife will be really mad... but i do love him any advice plz?

Read what you've written and think about it for a minute.  If their marriage isn't working why would it matter to him if his wife found out??\n\nOne of the worst things you can do is get involved with a married man.  It's a guarantee of heartbreak.  This man has no intention of becoming permanent with you.  He's using you for a little sex fling and then he'll dump you without a second thought to go back to his family. \n\nPlease don't sell yourself so short. There are plenty of men out there who would love you without placing you in this position.  What if you did get pregnant?  Who will support you?  Who will be there when you're sick or worried?\n\nPlease learn to love yourself.  People who have self-esteem do not abuse themselves as you are doing.  How can you love someone else if you haven't yet learned to love yourself.  Start telling yourself you deserve better and mean it.\n\nTry reading some spiritual books. The primary part of becoming a wonderful person is knowing that you already are one.  Only then can you be who you truly are and find real happiness in life.


its really crowded, so there is a lotta smell, and heat, and there is loads of noise 2, and i cant always get seat, and im one of the last ppl to get on and off the bus, what do i do?

U might be suffering from travel sickness.  If u cant see the road moving outside of the bus it confuses the brain and makes u feel sick.  There are drugs u can take to stop this.  U might also be claustrophobic because of the cramped and crowded environment.  See your doctor!!  Also ask some of the other kids if they are experiencing similar things.  It may be that fumes from the bus are leaking into the passenger compartment.

I have always tried to instill values in my children and the letter just blows me away.My son broke up with one girl that acted bad now he continues to stay with this girl. My son is an A student. Cleans his own room,even washes his own clothes.He is a very responsible person. We really have never got along very good like I have with my other three children. My twin boys will be graduating this year,they both have girlfriends that don't have respect for themselves. I have really been having a hard time with the twins about their girlfriends,now I am afraid I am going to have trouble with this one. I hope there is a mom out there somewhere that can give me some advice as to what to do.My son is only 15 years old.Why is it that kids today both boys and girls don't have any respect for themselves or others anymore?

Hi\nParenting is commonly known as tough love...You have to let them make their own decisions but be there for them...\nIf you try to intervene your Son may resent you for it.\n\nAt this age their hormones are raging all over the place & it's not the best time to be making serious decisions about their love life.\nThe best advice I can offer is to show them you Love them by listening to their troubles & offer impartial advice if asked for it, \nOne of the hardest things to do is keeping your mouth shut when it's most tempting to open it....\nIf you try & intervene with this girl & your Son you will just drive him to her more.\nBe patient & keep the communication going.\nYour sons love you dearly...It's just not 'cool' to show it.\n\nHope it all turns out o.k


I think that my bf may be on steroids. He is at the gym everyday, getting really big and strong really quick.  He is also getting really angry.  Has this happened to you or someone you know?

Uses\nRadionuclides are used in two major ways: for their chemical properties and as sources of radiation.\n\nRadionuclides of familiar elements such as carbon can serve as tracers because they are chemically very similar to the non-radioactive nuclides, so most chemical, biological, and ecological processes treat them in a near identical way. One can then examine the result with a radiation detector, such as a geiger counter, to determine where the provided atoms ended up. For example, one might culture plants in an environment in which the carbon dioxide contained radioactive carbon; then the parts of the plant that had laid down atmospheric carbon would be radioactive.\n\nIn medicine, radioisotopes are used for diagnosis, treatment, and research. Radioactive chemical tracers emitting gamma rays that can provide diagnostic information about a person's internal anatomy and the functioning of specific organs. This is used in some forms of tomography single emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography scanning. Radioisotopes are also a promising method of treatment in hemopoietic forms of tumors, while the success for treatment of a solid tumors has been limited so far. More powerful gamma sources are used to sterilise syringes and other medical equipment. About one in two people in Western countries are likely to experience the benefits of nuclear medicine in their lifetime.\n\nIn biochemistry and genetics, radionuclides are used to label molecules and allow tracing chemical and physiological processes occurring in living organisms, such as DNA replication or amino acid transport.\n\nIn food preservation, radiation is used to stop the sprouting of root crops after harvesting, to kill parasites and pests, and to control the ripening of stored fruit and vegetables.\n\nIn agriculture and animal husbandry, radionuclides also play an important role. They are used to produce high intake of crops, disease and weather resistant varieties of crops, to study how fertilisers and insecticides work, and to improve the production and health of domestic animals.\n\nIndustrially, and in mining, radionuclides are used to examine welds, to detect leaks, to study the rate of wear of metals, and for on-stream analysis of a wide range of minerals and fuels.\n\nMost household smoke detectors contain the radionuclide americium formed in nuclear reactors, saving many lives.\n\nEnvironmentally, radionuclides are used to trace and analyse pollutants, to study the movement of surface water, and to measure water runoffs from rain and snow, as well as the flow rates of streams and rivers.\n\nNatural radionuclides can be used in archaeology and in paleontology to measure ages. When radioactive carbon, for example, is in the atmosphere, it rapidly becomes separated from its decay products. Once it is bound up in a solid, such as wood or paper, its decay products must remain in place. So by measuring how much of these decay products has accumulated, one can estimate the time when the carbon was captured into solid form.


how can i apply for colleges without having to pay $55

You can call the admissions office and let them know that due to financial constraints you can't afford the full application fee.  They may lower the application fee.


i hate men always think about one thing and not what women want or how they feel tahts why they cant get what they want tehy are so hard headed i think.

We don't only think of your private parts. We enjoy spending time with you. We think about your eyes, your hair, your feet, everything. Why do women complicate things. We would love to go shopping with you or take walks or do the dishes, etc. You spoil it by thinking we are hard headed or complicated. Men are not complicated, they like to eat and scroo. Do that for them and they will do anything for you.


Was Jesus:\n1) The son of God\n2) A brilliant Rabbi, but just a man\n3) A lunatic who thought he was the Messiah\n4) A liar who was just in it for the ego trip\n\nOr was he something else entirely? Like, the Raelians think he was part human, part alien, or something bizarre like that.

I think Jesus was the drug dealer of his day and he had that good sh^t that had everyone thinking he was the Son of God because he had some good drugs.  It sounds like they were all high at times but they did have some philosophical ideas.

What are the Job prospects like after this course?Does good grades mean you will get recruited by a top agency?

Job recruiters who are hiring master's level public health professionals are not terribly focused on grades. Job experience holds much greater weight. Start by working at a lower-level agency if you must, but build your resumé in the fields you want to concentrate in. If you are research-oriented, then try to get your work published. The more published you are, the better your prospects will be.\n\nI earned my MPH from a reputable university in Los Angeles. I was hired by a large agency right away. It doesn't pay much, but my organization is a big name and I know my experience here can give me a lot of leverage down the line.

If so where is the flower and what does it look like?

The corn or sweet corn has a scientific name Zea mays. It is also known as a Maize plant. It is a giant grass and belongs  to the Grass family or Gramineae family ( The name of the family is now changed to Poaceae.)\nIt belongs to a larger group; Sub-division Angiospermae. These are flowering plants; therefore, the corn plant in the question is a flowering plant.Unfortunately for us, like all other grasses ( wheat,rice,barley and oat to name a few.)it does not produce large and/or attractive flowers.\n  This is due to the fact that all grasses are adapted to Wind Pollination and wind does not require any attraction as the insect do! Instead they produce pollen grains in huge quantity,to make up for the wastage in case the wind blows in the wrong direction and they are very light in weight for obvious reason.\n Corn has unisexual flowers, i.e. the male and the female flowers are borne separately.\n The male flowers are collectively called 'Tassel' and they are at the top of the plant at a considerable height so that the pollen produced by them can easily be caught in the wind current and be carried far and wide ( how clever of them!).These flowers are many hundred in number and are exceedingly small and have only protective 'bracts' ; No atrractive petals. They have only stamens inside (only 3 per flower)and they produce the pollen grains.\nThe female flowers are collectively called 'cob' or 'corn on the cob'and are located much lower down in the axile of a leaf on the same plant.\nThe entire cob is invested by very large, greenish yellow, protective bracts,sheath or the spathe. The silk threads that so prominently project out at its top are styles and the stimata .By hanging out collectively, they form an effective trap to collect the floating and descending pollen from other near by plants, to bring about pollination( How ingenious!)\n The female flowers are deep inside the sheath or the spathe and each is represented by an oblong or spherical grain. It is the ovary. Hundreds of them are neatly arranged in regular rows on the massive cob.It is the ovaries that turn in to grains after fertilization and for which the maize is basically cultivated. Here also the attractive petals are absent as they have no purpose to serve.  in corn the fruit and the seed is all rolled in one and can not be separated .It is called the GRAIN.(The word granary has come from it).\nI hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction .Please get rid of the traditional or stereotype images that you have in your mind about flowers, fruits and the seeds.The nature has many surprises in store for all of us.

my ipod doesnt show in my itunes when i connect it to my pc...i've tried the 5r's (i forgot how many times) and when i tried to restore it, it said can't mount iPod. what should i do next?

try loading up iTunes first, then plug in your iPod.  it should look as though it has frozen for a minute or two, but leave it and it should show your iPod on the quick-find menu on the left hand side of the screen.  Failing that make sure you download the lastest version of iTunes, updated software, and if tht doesn't work then go to the apple website.

Hatha yoga is more gentle (relatively) and Ashitanga Yoga more aggressive.\n\nSome of the "basic" poses include standing forward head-to-knee with hands under the heels, standing deep back bends, bridges, and lying face down toes-to-head (if you can) back bends.


Do you strut your stuff?  What's your attitude?  LOL!

When I was in college I lived with this girl who was also my coworker at an adult bookstore.  She wasn't very popular with the guys, but I never thought anything of it.  At the time I had just gotten involved in a LTR with a guy who was in some of my elective classes.  Well, needless to say, one thing lead to another and the next thing you know, he and I had embarked on a physical relationship.  This, isn't that big of a deal, right?  I didn't think so.  She was incredibly jealous of our relationship, however, because (as I later found out) she had been trying to lure him into her bed for several semesters, to no avail.  I remember she would make snide comments once she had discovered he'd been staying the night with me.  I didn't understand her anger.  Then one time when he and I were doing what new couples who are enjoying each other do, I heard this moaning in the very next room.  Her room.  She had left the door open and was purposely making the noises of woman in the throes of ecstasy, while letting both of us know that she was taking FULL ADVANTAGE of her employee discount at the adult bookstore.  It was really embarassing.  Somehow, even though I think she was attempting to make fun of me, I was really embarassed for her.  To this day, I don't understand why she acted that way.  Anyway, I moved out, soon after this incident and while I was on my way out, I accidentally-on-purpose threw her favorite pet goldfish in her bed in the tradition of that movie The Godfather.  Shucks, it was the least I could do.  Hehe.


our teacher calls us that, and i really need to know what it means...im pretty sure its swahili.

I have no idea, i tryed to google it and use yahoo search engine.  I came up with nothing, maybe she just made it up


It's related to the first(second) question I asked?  I noted that there were 347(+/-)powers. I want to find out what the public knows before I write.

How do I get rid of spyware.matewatch?  SBC Yahoo! Anti-Spyware can detect it but will lock up trying to delete it.  Adaware or EWIDO anti-malware can't detect it.

For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

No, seriously.  I want the best answer to actually convince me.  If not, then I guess I'm a failure.

I can give some information, but only God can convince you.\nI know this is really long, and I apologize in advance, but to follow the chain of logical reasoning takes a lot of words.\n\nAbsolute Proof for the Existence of God:\nThere’s a lot of really great evidence that God does in fact exist:\n1. The existence of God explains the universal longing of the heart.\nBillions of people have believed in a god, people of differing cultures and times, differing places and customs. Mankind is irreversibly homo religiosis, a religious creature. Even philosophies that had no god eventually had to invent one—this was clearly the case within Buddhism. The Buddha did not teach the existence of a deity, but the Buddha’s followers over the centuries converted Gautama Buddha himself into a god, and he is still revered as such by millions of Buddhists today.\n\nAnd this shift is also a shift to a personal deity. An abstract “force” does not satisfy the needs of the human heart—we need to know that someone is out there, not just something. This same shift was evident within Hinduism. The monistic impulse of Upanishadic Hinduism, with its highly philosophical Brahman, an abstract higher power, was overshadowed over time by devotion to individual, personal gods. We humans arrive on this earth incomplete, sensing a deep need within our souls for the divine. This is the “God-shaped void” in each heart.\n\nAtheism—the denial of God’s existence—simply doesn’t satisfy the longings of the human heart. Man cannot live without God. When people are denied a god, they invent one to satisfy their hearts. \n\n2. Humanity needs an ultimate point of reference by which we can determine our own meaning.\nThis is a point the braver atheists like Sartre have conceded. Their suggestion, of course, is that humanity has no meaning, no purpose, no ultimate significance. We cannot find our significance in ourselves—we long to exist for something greater. As was discussed in the previous lecture, if there is no God who exists and has spoken, we are left absurd creatures whose every action is arbitrary. It should come as no surprise that the fervor of UFO people seems so very religious in its zeal! They want someone to be out there, so that we can have a point of reference from which to consider our own existence! Those searching for extraterrestrial life often argue that humanity’s reason for existence—its purpose and destiny—will only be discovered when we make “first contact” with another life form. I would suggest that that other life form is the One that created us, that made contact for our salvation 2,000 years ago. We find our destiny only in him, for whom and by whom we were created.\n\n3. The existence of God best explains humanity’s sense of right & wrong.\nEveryone has an idea of the perfect, a concept of the good, true and beautiful. This deep moral sense, what C.S. Lewis called the Tao or the Law of Common Decency, had to come from somewhere. Compare the great moral systems of the world through the ages. They are remarkably similar. Faithfulness in marriage, honesty in speech, goodwill toward other people, not shedding human blood, honoring one’s parents—all are moral principles found in every society. Confucius died long before Jesus, but summarized his Law of Reciprocity (shu) by stating, “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.”\n\nThis universal sense of right and wrong, what philosophers historically called natural law, cannot be explained very easily without appealing to humanity’s creation by a moral God. And these moral principles are not merely the products of human cultures. Were this so, we would see a lot more variation from one society to the next. But we find them, not only in every culture, but also ingrained in the human conscience. As Paul explained, God’s moral law is “written on their hearts” (Romans 2:15). This had to come from somewhere.\n\n4. The existence of G

Assuming you can choose to serve on one of these ships, which ship do you choose to serve on and why?    Captain Kirk's Enterprise NCC-1701;  Captain Picards Enterprise NCC-1701D, Captain Janeways Voyager, Captain Sisko's Defiant, Captain Sisko's Station DS9, Captain Archer's Enterprise.

Let's eliminate people first.   While I'm not opposed to hard work and combat, the original Enterprise, under Kirk, had a reputation of treating Security Guards as Cannon Fodder.\n\nI wouldn't choose Janeway, just because I wouldn't want to be in the Delta Quadrant.   There was a lot of action, but vacations really would suck...unless you like old Irish Pubs.\n\nI didn't care for Archers Enterprise either.  Still haven't figured out if the chief of security was gay or not.   Either way, didn't care for him.   \n\nWhile Sisko's Defiant and DS9 are appealing, I'd get really sick of Bajorans and Cardassians.   I wouldn't mind going toe-to-toe with a Jem 'hadar though.   Don't think I'd fair as well as Worf, but I'd give it a shot.\n\nWhich brings me to Picard's Enterprise.   In the earlier episodes the security guards were cool.  They weren't fodder, and did manage to do things they set out to do.  I also would have loved to learn from Worf and Tasha Yar.   Enterprise NCC-1701D for me please!!!

A resistor reduced the voltage in an electrical curcuit at the same time as is applied some load it increases the amps.\nThe formualr volt = amp x ohms can be used to calculate the required resistance.\nA resistor had a measurement unit of ohms.\nVolts = I x R\nResistance = V/I\nI(Amps) = V/R\n\nSo if you had a simple circuit with a battery and a lamp, if you wanted to make the lamp dull you would put a resistor in the curcuit you then could change the value of the resistor to make the lamp brighter or duller.

You can either \n\na. start your own retail store with your brand\nb. sell them to retailers\nc. participate in trade shows\n\nThe article "Starting a Shoe Retail Store" can give you some pointers on how to go about starting this business http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol136/shoe.htm\n\nA shoe store business is not something you can start without capital and without access to credit. Loving shoes is one thing; but owning a shoe store is another. You need to have capital in order to provide for the following cost expenditures: leasing a store (the cost of which will depend on the size, design and location), displays and racks, backoffice furniture and shelving, inventory selection, business licenses and permits, insurance, marketing, and many more.\n\nTo get ideas of the latest footwear styles and to develop contacts and find suppliers in the shoe retail industry, it is important that you attend any or all of the important trade shows in this industry (participation of which also depends on the availability of resources for your travel, accomodation and trade show fees):\n\n- World Shoe Association http://www.wsashow.com/ the largest and most comprehensive footwear and related accessories event \n- Magic Marketplace http://www.magiconline.com - mainly apparel and accessories, though includes footwear as well\n- Fashion Footwear Association of New York http://www.ffany.org - largest shoe show in the East Coast\n- Shoe Market of the Americas http://www.smota.com - held 3 times a year in Miami\n- North American Shoe and Accessories Market http://www.northamericanshoe.com  - the 10th largest shoe show in the world\n- Los Angeles Shoe Show http://www.californiamarketcenter.com... \n- Southwest Shoe Expo http://www.southwestshoeexpo.com... - held 5 times a year at Dallas World Trade Center \n- Chicago Shoe Expo http://www.chicagoshoeexpo.com - a small regional trade show held 4 times a year in Chicago\n- Micam Shoevent http://www.micamonline - international trade show for medium to high end footwear held twice a year in Milan\n- GDS http://www.mdna.com - the premier shoe event held twice a year in Dusseldolf, Germany\n\nWhile you are getting your plans together, you may also want to check out the following Trade Associations for more information on this business: \n\n- National Retail Federation http://www.nrf.com \n- America Apparel and Footwear Association http://www.americanapparel.org/... \n- Electronic Retailing Association http://www.retailing.org \n- National Shoe Retailers Association http://www.nsra.org/


like how people might get on it and just pay for beer and TV but never go out and actually try to get a job. The government takes away some money that they're giving the people once they get a job. hello? doesn't that discourage the peolple from working??? i understand for people who have disabilaties and stuff but what about able-bodied people?

Welfare has never been OK in this country. Despite the fact that some want to call us a "Christian" nation, we have never been happy "giving" people money - except at Christmas, maybe.\n\nAnd welfare has not officially been seen as good at least since Ronald Reagan forgot that, if it hadn't been for his friends who helped him out, he would have been poor. Clinton actually reformed welfare, requiring states to require people on welfare to work unless they were disabled or had small children. That's not enough for you?\n\nIf you think any of this is new, do some reading. Families used to be responsible for helping their relatives who fell on bad times. When the families didn't want to help, the churches took over. When the problems got so bad the churches couldn't or wouldn't do it, the governments had to do it. Now no one is doing it, so people freeze to death sleeping outdoors, as happened here in Worcester recently.\n\n"Then let them die, and decrease the surplus population!"

What is the purpose of the TTL in the IP header?  How can this be used by a utility such as trace or tracert to trace a communications path through the network?

TTL (Time To Live) says how many "hops" a packet is allowed to take before reaching a destination --how many network routers it can go through, for example. It is used to make sure that packets don't spend an infinity of time in the network trying to reach a destination that might be unreachable. I would think that by sending a packet to a certain address and setting TTL to 1, then trying again with TTL set to 2, and so on, you could check how many hops are necessary before you reach your destination (for example, if you don't get the expected answer from the target computer until you send a packet with TTL=6, you know you have 6 hops between your computer and the target one


Hi,\n\nI need some examples of Finite State Machines. I need real life examples to where these machines are used and also want to know the description of these examples..\n\nPlease Help

This is the second time you have asked this, so I will answer it differently this time.  As obviously my first one wasn't what you were looking for. To view my previous post click: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhTuV2QlT_2DnM9cc_BuhzHsy6IX?qid=1006031011953\n\nSo on to real world examples of finite state machines A.K.A finite atomaton:\n\nAssume you were creating a controller for an automatic door.  It has a front pad, door and rear pad. Then you have 2 states for your door: closed and open.  if its closed you and you have someone on the front pad you have a transition from closed to open.  If its open and you have either someone on the front pad, rear pad, or both then you have a transition from open to open.  if you are in open and you have niether then you transit to the closed state.  If you are in the closed state and you have someone on rear both or neither then you transit back to close.\n_______| Neither | Front | Rear__ | Both\n--------------------------------------------\nClosed | Closed_ | Open_ | Closed | Closed\nOpen__ | Closed_ | Open_ | Open__ | Open\n\nREAR <---------- __________ -----FRONT-------------> ______ <-- FRONT\nBOTH _______| CLOSED |___________________| OPEN  | ___ REAR\nNEITHER -----> __________ <----NEITHER------------ ______ --> BOTH\n\nTheres a simple real life example.  Obviously for more complex systems you would have more complex state machines.\n\nI will finish off with the exact specification of a finite atomaton:\n\nA finite automaton is a 5-tuple( Q, Sigma, Roe, q0, F), where:\n1. Q is a finite set called the states,\n2. Sigma is a finite set called the alphabet,\n3. Roe is Q x Sigma --> is the transition function,\n4. q0 is in Q and is the start state, and\n5. F is a subset of Q is the set of accept states.\n\nNote for the example above of the automatic door we would define:\n\nQ = (OPEN, CLOSED)\nSigma = (FRONT, REAR, NEITHER, BOTH)\nRoe = ((CLOSED, FRONT) -> OPEN, (OPEN, NEITHER) -> CLOSED, ...)\nq0 = CLOSED\nF = None... our example is a never ending loop.\n\nHope this is what you are looking for...


Or counting something. I've always heard that you have to do some form of counting to fall asleep. Never tried it...

Hi again Sam, \n\nWell, I would have to say I have been suffering from Insomnia from the time I became an answerholic, but seriously, I don't think counting something to get 'sleep' is a good idea. Yesterday, as soon as I read your question, I tried it, and when I didn't meet with any luck, came back here to tell you. *giggles*\n\nBut yeah, you can try counting things if you are mad at someone or something...may sound lame, but it will take your mind off it for a while...I personally never tried it, but I had  a friend in school...she used to sit next to me in class, and in the middle of Social period, she used to count numbers...at first I didn't understand why...but later I came to know that she was counting numbers because the History lesson was getting on her nerves. *again giggles*  Lame reason to count numbers though, but it worked for her.\n\nSo Sam, I think it depends on the person regarding the output. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny


The news states that Iran is pushing hard to enrich its own uranium.  This can be used for power plants but it can also be used for nuclear bomb. Were talking the big intercontinental missile types that blow up cities. Do you think Iran would actually develop these weapons? Would they use them if they did? Or it this much hype by media?

When Israel and other countries are "de-nuked", the whole world would support the "de-nukification" of Iran and all other states.\n\nEqual Opprtunity World.\n\nI hate nuclear anything, wether it be weapons, or even nuclear energy (because of things like Chernoble and other world wide radiation leaks).

im American and im having trubel with all the polls...i need every one to be honest.. maybe i can get the right story from peopel on here What the Americans relly think of our President Bush...

Well after having a son over in Iraq and seeing all those young men and women comming home with no arms and legs along with their mental state. I think his excuse for going to war was pretty crazy, we didn't see any mass weapon and the young men and women still have there hands full with afghanistan (which by the way I beleive they are still doing bombing runs) beside losing more young service men and women everyday in Iraq.But the killer is those people over there have been fighting with each other for years and will continue to do so.They are at the end of civil war over there.Besides that the older people are totally confused about the health care reform and gas prices are reaching to the point of no return. Jobs across this state are being loss and bankruptcy cases are at a all time high. The miltary is going to h### in a hand basket,people have loss faith in the America constitution and most of the young people have no morals.So to answer your question, I think he is the worst president we have ever had.

I would stay away from caffeine pills i use to take them in high school I'm taking like 10years ago before anyone said that they are bad for you. I have heard stories were people have taken them and now they have stomach prob bleeding ulcers i never use to like coffee either but there are so many different kinds cappuccino is great just experiment with different kinds you never know you might end of liking one


Does everybody just type without thinking?

Because there are a lot of moronic people answering questions. Sometimes I'm one of them. But just remember your not always going to agree or like what they say. That's when you ignore them. By the way congrats on the big day.


I need to know if I have to take the citizenship test or not i been married for 6 years with this person

nothing makes you a US citizen automatically (except maybe if the president grants you one). You still have to take the test and meet all the other requirements. If you are married to a US citizen you are eligible for citizenship after 3 years, assuming of course that you spent the majority of those 3 years in the United States.\nYou need to file an N-400 to apply for citizenship.\nhttp://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/n-400.htm


don't you think?\n\nwhat are your coincidence stories.  or favorite that are famous.\n\nlike someone who dies on the same date as they are born. something that makes you go wow. I want to hear them. I love strange coincidences.

My sister and I are twins. 2 of us, together.\n\nWe were born on April 22nd. 4/22. 4=2x2, 22 is 2 2.\n\nI was born at 4:20. She was born at 4:23.\n\nDoes this count?

Whats it like over there? How are the schools? What do you do for entertainmant?

I lived in Plano, Texas almost all my life. it's...interesting.\n\nThe school are alright, depending on what side you choose to live in. If you live in West Plano, I have to admit they're a bit "ritzier" but meh, whatever lol.\nI went to Bowman  / Williams /  Plano East and I loved it. The schools are a bit more...troubling? lol\n\nPlano is like any other city. At one time it was called the "Heroin City" but whatever, we've all had our troubles. And for entertainment?...we go to Dallas or Deep Ellum.\n\nI say best bet would be to go to www.plano.gove or something like that and look for information that way.


Sometimes when I get emails with pictures in it, or graphics, there is a little white box with a red "x" in it and I try right clicking to show the pictures and it still does not work.  How do I view the email?

sometimes that comes up if the content of the pictures doen't jive with the settings on the computer or the firewall restrictions.


I wear a tight fitting suit and all I see in the mirror is camel toe. I catch people staring, and I can't help but wonder, Do they like it or are they offended.

i dont care what any of the rest of u people say, if your not fat and ugly or just so happen to have a nice one, camel toe turns me on! just hearing about your tight fitting suit makes me wanna see your camel toe girl. i say bare it!  feel free to send me a pic js8incher@yahoo. sorry, i just love it no offense intended

I get interested in after life and was wondering how many people beleive in life after death?

:}\nAbsolutely real; A real eternal heaven and a real eternal hell.\nDo you know Jesus?


Look..what should i do? i am with my first real boyfriend since 5years. i love him very much. but it was never "butterflies".it was more like i knew it was to be the man "who will be there throughout my life"(as best friend?).we had many many ups&downs.he was not sure first about our relationship and flirting with other women in the 1st year(many of those girls thinking that"he might be the one"..strange,no??) He loved his freedom and had a hard time realizing he's hurting me with this. Now, things got better and better.For 1 year or a bit more he's been talking about marriage now. Just dropping it from time to time.Sweet but i don't know? There is not much physical attraction (and never much been).but i love him very much and adore him. He is like my veryveryvery best and most important man&friend in life&i am afraid to lose him! but i definitely always missed the "other" part of a relationship..you know. Now when things are going so well,why do i worry and try to break free???

The heart wants what it wants. The more you deny the longer it goes on until you break free anyway. You're a "complete package deal" kind of personality. You want an awesome inside and a good outside. Nothing wrong with that. You have to make a hard decision for yourself that will free him to seek someone better suited to love him as he is. Good luck.


I have two children, my youngest is almost two years old.  I have the post-pregnancy stomach, and I hate it!  It is the one thing I hate about my body, and I started weight watchers in hope of it going away but it doesn't seem to be working.\n\nThis is my question......if you were able to get rid of it, How???  What works and what doesn't?  And if you were how long did it take??\n\nI am so unhappy about this that I'm contemplating a mini-tummy tuck.  Also, has anyone ever had this done....and if so what did you think of it?  \n\nAlso, I think that I should add that their father and I are no longer together, so I'm especially self-concious about this.  If anyone can relate I'd like to hear about it.\n\nThanks for viewing and answering!

Weird, I just heard the same exact story on the Tyra Banks show today...lady had the same problem and from what they said exercises and crunches and all that won't work only way is to have the surgery, it sucks and I'm sorry about this, God bless


i want to know more about instructional technology

Geez, it depends on the teacher. Some teachers heavily incorporate technology while others teach in the same way as instructors did fifty years ago.


l live in england(west midlands) has anybody stopped by using a doctors clinic,would love to talk about my problem because it is getting me down l would love more children

Yes!  Go to a website called WHYQUIT.COM  I smoked for over ten years and I really wasn't even ready to quit.  I met someone who was a smoker and he had used that website and shared it with me.  It is not easy; I tried gum, celery, chewing on straws, everything...you have to WANT to quit.  Go to the website and read it!!!  It is true and inspiring and helpful!  \n\nIt is worth saving your life!!!  Good luck!

the songs I want to convert are in itunes, but it just gives you an option to convert it to acc!!??

burn them on a cd, then upload them to a different music program. There, they'd either show up as mp3, or you'd have an option to convert them.


Two men go walking in the woods when they get lost one decides to head south and the other goes north.\n\nThey bump into each other 15 minutes later how?\n\n(Its not that hard)

They were not walking together when they got lost; one was 30 minutes south of the other.


I have seen a lot of movies but I don't have a favorite.  I am only 23 so many movies from the 90's and earlier, I probably missed.  I have seen quite a few of the latter movies but am looking for good rentals that I can rent but not so old that they are now not what they used to be.  Keep in mind, I think Classics are great as long as you don't have to sit and watch them under today's standards!

because everytime something bad happens i know it before it happens and all i do is worry until it happens and when things finally work themselves out i still worry because im afraid if i stop worrying about it something bad will happen ?i know this sounds stupid but it is real.

I go through the same thing. It is a mixture of you having the gift of sight, and your mind telling you things wiil turn out for the worse because of traumatic experiences that happened to you(it seems when you're happy, things always change for the worse.) My advice to turn off this anxiety is to say this affirmation when feeling it "My life only changes for the better, my loved ones and I are safe".\nIt helped me out tremendously. The mind is a powerful thing if you see something bad coming, say the affirmation to change it.


My BF really likes my big boobs and so do I. but I work out to stay toned, and lately I've been doing push ups to work on my arms. People say it works your chest and could make your boobs smaller, and some say it'll make them bigger!! HELP i don't want to lose my boobs!!! *Does working out your chest make breasts smaller?*****

Loosing body fat will decrease the size of your bust.  So if you’re chunky everywhere and you want to trim down then you’re chest will loose some body fat too … \n\nThe pushup’s and weightlifting create muscle under the chest fat … this is cool because you can do booby tricks when you get enough muscle … this also creates great cleavage; men prefer cleavage to fatty titts.


Jack has 10 whole pizzas, and he divides each pizza into 8 equal parts.  He then puts equal number of parts in 4 boxes.  How many whole pizzas do each box have?\n\n^_^

10 pizzas. 8 parts each = 80 parts.\n\n80 parts over 4 boxes = 20 parts in each\n\n20 parts = 20/8 ths of a pizza = 2 and a half pizzas = a big mess.


I saw that Bush was against the Pluto mission, and that it almost didnt happen. It took an 11 year old boy to start a petition and send it to him for him to give it the go ahead. Why hold back space exploration, when it could teach us so much about how our solar system was formed?

It is said by many prophets, that when Pluto is reached by man, that the end times have started. It may or may not be the reason. It might be that his cronies have little interest or capital in the manufacturer's of space technology or he can't find a way to funnel the tax payers money that supports space exploration.


Yes, cervicalgia is neck pain.  However, the first answer was wrong: that neck pain can refer to other areas of the body to include the upper or middle back, the "shoulders" (the meaty portion between the neck and the actual shoulder joint), or even the arm.  What the first answerer got confused with was radicular pain.  Radicular pain is pain from a nerve in the neck that is being irritated by injury or inflammation.  This will cause changes along the nerve's track which can be pain radiating into the arm or hand, numbness or tingling in the arm or hand, and/or decreased reflexes in the arm.


i think that would be one of the coolest jobs ever.


I know that many people are very honest and pay their rent,but I am confused concerning those who don`t.I see people who move because they say they can`t pay their rent.How do they afford to pay a deposit and advance rent on another place,when they can`t afford to pay what they owe where they are?I have long been wondering about this.

I would think its all due to poor money management, moving is not cheap! Everytime weve moved its cost about 2 grand. Not chump change, and im a cheapo :P so i do everything the cheapest way possible, so it can cost alllllot more if you let it. But anyawys i think they just are really unresponsible with there money, if you can shell out 2 grand every 3 or 4 months. you can afford your rent


He wanted to kiss me on the lips but i turned my head and we kissed eachother on the checks should i kiss him on the lips?


OK. The government tells you that you have to wear a seat belt in a car or wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle. The government tells you that you can't do any "drugs" (or at least the ones they want to make illegal). These and other things the government does because it says it wants to save your life.\n\nWhere should we draw a line on adult behaviour which doesn't hurt other people, only yourself ? Should we ban sugary foods ? Red meat ? Tobacco, alcohol, caffeine ? Maybe the government should make us all do 3-5 cardiovascular workouts a week. Or maybe if it is proven that Methodists live a shorter life than anyone else, we should ban the Methodist religion.\n\nWhere do we draw the line on government intruding on an adult's life ? Should there be a line ? Should all adult acitivites be legal as long as there is no victim(other than the one doing the activity ) ?

Hmmm Good question.  The line is where society as a whole thinks that line is.... Well not exactly, its where the people who govern that society think where that line should be to get more votes next election.\n\nTen years ago, the stuff that gets shown on TV wouldn't have even been thought of as acceptable, this is more a relaxation of the line.   The smoking bans coming in are another example of tightening of the line.\n\nSociety moves on, and so does the line... The problem is when you think the line as defined by government is too relaxed or too tight.\n\nIts all about perception and staying in power.


I have tried to start a band for years, but other people are not serious enough to pull through with something simple.

i would suggest making your vision clear to the potential bandmates.  (you do have a vision of what you want to play, right?  i assume you've written some songs or have some novel idea for a band.  if not, that could be your problem.)  that might encourage others to join if they see you are serious about your music and not just being in a band for the sake of being in a band.  then again, that might make it harder to find like-minded bandmates who can help you achieve your vision.  that's just a problem you have to deal with though.  having a supporting cast that understands and appreciates what you're after should be worth the wait.

hi I am hispanic, 19yrs old in college, 5''5' and 150 pound. i think of myself as un ugly person because am fat and even when people say I look good I still think am fatt and just feel sick when I look at the mirror yea I have my curves and a butt. People say I look like a thick jlo, since am but all I see is an elephant. As u can see I have low self esteem when it comes to my appearance. i have try everything possible to loose my weight from working out and having a deit, to diet pill, to even sarving myself and i even have got to the point in which i have made myself  Regurgitate.

i wish that people would stop and think about everything that they are losing out on just because they think they are fat. i have been fat my whole life. i used to dread meeting new people because i was afraid of what they were thinking of me, now i could care less. there are way way bigger people in this world out there then 150 pounds. if you came up to me in person and said that you think you are fat i would laugh in your face. ill tell you what, you want me to send you a picture of some of my family members? i have an aunt that is close to 400 pound. and a cousin that is 330. and i aint no skinny minny myself. what you have to do is except yourself for what and who you are. if you dont like it then you should cut back on calories or lose it the right way because the ways that you are trying will work and then you will gain all of the weight back. and my mother used to be bulimic--she had dentures by age 24.

After I have composed an e-mail and use the spell check, the word that is highlighted in the blue is not the word that is miss-spelled. The highlighted word is sometimes 2 or 3 words past the miss-spelled word. The miss-spelled word does appear in the box above, but it is frustration to look at the text and see the wrong word highlighted, it is hard to edit the e-mail this way. Please help

Thank You!  I thought I was going crazy.  The same exact thing happens to me when I use spell check.  If it finds a word that is misspelled,and you change it, it doesn't change the word, but some other word and messes up the text. I don't use it anymore, I have a link to www.dictionary.com on my toolbar now.


Is'nt it about time that the Ministry Of Defence and the Military Authorities accepted responsibility for the deaths of four recruits at Deepcut, due to bullying, intimidation, and instutionalised  homophobia and stopped trying to hide behind committees reports chaired by their lackies and  cronies?.\n\nNo reqruit can shoot themselves twice in the head and fail to miss their brain unless they were a lousy close range shot which doubt these lads and lassies were ! !. (No offence meant to the parents of their children).\n\nYet the MoD and the Military insist that they committed suicide!!. I say BULLS**T. What are you hiding??

Yes I believe you are correct and the ministry should take responsibility,and make the necessary changes to keep this from ever happening again.Good-Luck!

Marital status does not determine the parental rights of the mother or the father...if you are the parent of the child, and have not had a court modify or terminate your parental rights,and have not voluntarily terminated those rights or surrendered the child to adoptive parents, you have exactly the same rights as if you had been married.

over for St.Patricks Day should I give them Green beer or Irish Whiskey?\n\nWe like to Party!!!!\n\nWe are all born again, really!!

By your testimony(what you have spoken) I refuse to believe that you are really born again as you say. Born again christians are filled with the holy spirit and do not get drunk with alcohol.\n Ephesians 5:18\n18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.\n In addition, I advise you to tell your born again christian friends what you are going to offer them, before that day. If they  are really born again(unlike you) then they will definately do what is right(turn down your invitation) and start praying and interceeding for you.

I mean I know some of it, rain man and the creation of a personal world, but there is so much controversy and so many claims made about it, I just don't really know what it is.  Anybody out there help me out?

rain man is rare. he is called a savant. that means above average in a few areas. most autistic people do not talk. they have routines that if you change it they will pitch a fit. you did see that on the rain man movie and that is true. they usually prefer to be alone and do not interact with other people. they have strange habits that are impossible to break. it has something to do with their brains. lots of autistic kids are aggressive and they will get mean when they don't get their way or also for no reason at all. they also self inflect pain on themselves, like beating themselves in the head or biting themselves. most of them will make some kind of noises and they do it no matter where they are. they do not embarrass so they do not care what others think. they are very very strong.


Doesn't work that way. If you sin/crime and you honestly accept Christ's death as paying for all your sins, and you beleive in your heart that he was the son of God and that he rose from the dead, your sins will be forgiven and you will be saved. However, you must truly beleive and submit your life to God's service. It's not a "Get out of Jail Free card" but a life commitment.\n\nYou don't need a priest for this and your crimes might not be forgiven on Earth, but you will be redeemed to God.\n\nEmail me to talk more: jacquefromtexas@yahoo.com

I saw my best friend's boyfriend cheating on her.  He doesn't know I saw him.  I want to tell her, but unfortunately she knows how deeply in love I am with her and knows that I do not like her boyfriend as a person.  How should I tell her?

Be the friend that you are and tell her. Just remind her that you care about her and her feelings and would never to anything to break her trust or see her unhappy, you just care for her. It would work for me.


My nails have always been flat, but recently my one thumb nail started gowing with this weird indention in it.

Can't offer any advice,only solidarity! My right thumbnail is similarly affected, has been for about 10 years (I'm 43).  I've never damaged it or cut it funny, but there's a definate groove running top to bottom, and the nail notches in slightly at the top.  There's also a faint line 5mm long - looks like a crack but isn't.\nDo you think there is a special Society we can join? ;-)

largely, for the same reason the sky is blue.  the amount that light is scattered is proportional to its frequency to the fourth power.  thus, blue light is scattered most strongly, and the sky appears blue.  at sunset (and sunrise), we're looking directly at the sun, and all the blue light has been scattered away.  other colors (yellow and green, mainly) are absorbed by the water vapor in the air.  the orange and red, being the smallest visible frequencies, are what come through the strongest.

My solution is to separate the checkout into three categories.  Scanning, bagging, and paying.  Have different people perform each function so that they can get really, really, really good at it.  \n\nAlso, if somebody is fooling around paying a check or fighting about a discount, it won't hold up the scanning and bagging of someone else's order.\n\nPlease!  I'm a patient guy, but I also know that checking out at the stores doesn't have to be this difficult.  Any ideas??

I like the self-service checkouts.  I don't have to deal with anyone.  Just scan my stuff, pay, and leave.\n\nIn the not-too-distant future, all store items will have RFID and you'll be able to just walk out of the store with your stuff and your bank account will automaticaly be appropriately debited.

I have a "friend" who I can't get rid of. We have known each other for almost 6 years now. We were best friends. We lived in each others pockets. Then she changed. She went from being nice and funny into a boozing,moody, sleep around. She jumped at my present best friends boyfriend 2 days after they broke up, she totally left me high and dry at our debs(prom) and then turned down right nasty. Now though, I'm sick of her bitching and  coming to me to break up with guys FOR HER but because of our "meaningful" lengthly "friendship" I can't seem to tell her to f**k off

I never was an empathic guy, but here´s what I´d do. You were friends for 6 years. It is a long time to know each other. Talk with her, ask her what is wrong and observe her attitude. If she stays mean to you, just give her a kick. Just say that you have finished with each other and that you are sorry for her. But never raise your voice...

When do kids normally start drinking. In your experience did this make you get offered drugs? Do you tend to do this as a teenager when you drink? Asking about a 14 year old. If they do get offered how do you say no without them making fun of you. (last time he said they made fun of him for saying no) But he still hangs around with these kids. Everyone that cares about him has already talked to him, he was sent off for a week, and he has been threatened with a juvinle center. What are we missing???

he should be at least 18 before he starts drinking... even then, i still do not condone drinking at all...\nspeaking from the perspective of a 17 year old girl, i feel that drinking just gives you a hangover the next day, and a waste of precious money...\ndrinking to excess can cause liver problems, it also gives the person hangovers and makes the person nauseous...\nmost accidents occur with drunk drivers, they not only endanger themselves, but also all those around them...\ni also think that people who want to drink shoild think of the people around them, people who will have to clean uup after them and to look after them when they have hangovers. in the event that they do get cancer, their family members would be distraught...\nhence, i feel that drinking is bad for people...\n\nas to how he should reject others, \ni would tell them:"i treasure my life, my family and my friends. drinking would destroy all of the above, and i would rather risk your making fun of me then to lose them."\nor\n"drinking is bad for my health. it is also bad for you. i treasure and love myself. but i can't say that much for you."\n\ntry to talk to him on the demerits of drinking. worst come to the worst, bring him to see a counceller...\n\nand yes, with drinking soon comes drugs, sometimes your drink might be spikeed to hook you onto drugs. drugs will pull you into a vicious cycle, that is very hard to escape from. more and more money has to be spent on acquiring drugs to soothe oneself. sometimes, drugs drive people to desperate measures, and destroys a person's sanity.\n\nhence my advice is to be brave, say no.


how can i get him to beleive me that im not addicted to his money. i hardly asked him for money and now we kinda just joke around saying I love money but I really dont want him for his money. How can i get him to beleive me?

nothing wrong with being a gold digger. sometimes men think kinda crazy, just do something nice for him and maybe he'll change his mind


i was in a relationship for only a few months, but i fell head over heels for her. we lived with each other ofr about a month and a half. her and i got along great. sex was fantastic. then, all of a sudden she just ups and decides that she wanted me to move out, and her and i just date again. i didn't and still don't know what brought this on. she has two children that i did nothing but treat as my own. she has had a rough time with her husband getting killed in iraq last year. i told her that i would never come to interfere in that situation in anyway. well, now i have showed my behind a little because she's acting as if i don't exist, and quite frankly..it hurts alot.

she was probably confused.  thinking what is she doing and then feeling guilty.  maybe she wasn't over him yet.  it took me 5 years to get over my ex.  this kinda stuff doesn't happen over night dood.  dont take offense.  just try to be a good friend and supportive. good luck!
