There are three buttons on each sleeve of the woodland BDU.  There are leadership personnel that direct subordinates to only use the middle button. I would like to know if there is specific information out there about why and when we would use the first, second, and third button.  Some reasons are obvious, but I would like to get reliable references on this subject if possible.  Thank you.

I believe it is at the commander's discretion except when out in the field. Generally, in cooler weather or at night I keep mine on the tightest button, to keep in warmth, or to keep out bugs. \n\nDuring a Heat CAT 5, they have to come unbuttoned, and pants unbloused, and I believe that a heatCAT 4 says that they must be on the last button. I don't think I've ever seen it in AR 670-1, but if there's a reg on uniforms, it's going to be there.


If I enter a limit order to buy XYZ stock at (the closing price of) 5.00 the night before, and the price on opening the next morning is 4.00, will I get the stock at 4.00 or 5.00?\n\nAs I see it, I wouldn't have to pay MORE than 5.00 due to the limit, but if the open price gapped down to 4.00, would my order get filled at something close to 4.00?\n\nThanks in advance,\n   Trevor

If it is a listed stock (NYSE or AMEX), then you are due the opening price.  If it is a NASDAQ or OTC stock than you could be filled at $4 or close to it. It depends on the opening bid and offer of the market maker that is holding your order.  The $4 opening print may have been with another market maker, not the one that is holding your order.  This is because with the NASDAQ, there is not a central order book like with the listed exchanges, specialist system.\n\nYour limit order is always an "or better" order so you would never be filled higher than $5.


Have the child hold the bat straight out to the (dominant hand) side.  If the child can hold the bat there for 20 to 30 seconds, and without straining before 10 seconds then you have a properly weighted bat.  The length is somewhat tied to the weight but remember, the longer the bat the more difficult for a child to control.


Please keep in mind that I do not listen to music at the extra loud levels that some do.  I listen at what I would consider a very normal level.

It isn't exactly harmful. If you do this for about 50 years you can probably encounter minor hearing loss if it at a normal level.

Here in the USA, most people are Christians, and most people, when they think of a religion, they probably first think of Christianity, Church, etc.  But that is not the case in all countries.\n\nTake 2 people:\nOne is American.  The other is Bhutanese.  They both come to a place in their lives where they decide to turn their lives around and follow the good way.  The American says, "I'll start going to church."  The Bhutanese says, "I'll start doing Buddhist meditations."  So the American ends up becoming a Christian, just because that is the "good way" that he is aware of.  To the Bhutanese person, the "good way" he knows is Buddhism.\n\nIs the American saved and the Bhutanese not saved?  It seems quite clear that if the American I described had been born in Bhutan, his fate would have been entirely different.  And same with the Bhutanese guy, had he been born in America.

The short answer is no, not all people have the same chance of being saved. I have not been to either Mongolia or Bhutan, but I have close friends who have been there, and I have spent many hours in prayer for the people of those countries. Did you kow that Bhutan charges hundreds of dollars (US) Per Day, just for a Christian to breathe air inside the country? The Bhutanese government has done everything in their power to make it all but impossible for the Gospel to reach the Bhutanese people. As a Christian, this is heartbreaking. As for following the "good way" this link will lead you to my answer on that subject.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Arza_HnelTHDkKiUL_Ljb2jsy6IX?qid=1006030600650\n\nYou're absolutely right about what place and time a person is born into having a direct effect on whether or not they will have access to the gospel, and have the opportunity to be saved.\nThat is why Jesus told His followers to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every ethnic group on the planet.\nIn the first century AD, the ratio of people who had access to the gospel was about 1:100.\nToday, that ratio is about 1:3-1:5 (This number varies a little depending on what criteria is used to decide what constitutes "access to the gospel".) So, that said, A person born in Bhutan today, has a better chance of hearing the gospel than a person born in the U.S. in the first century AD.\n\nI think the real question you're asking though, is "Does God love the Bhutanese as much as He loves the American?"\nThe answer is YES! There ARE some (very few) Bhutanese who are Christians, and there are some (too few) Christians who are actively trying to reach the Bhutanese with the gospel.\nThe real problem is that there are all too many (especially Western) Christians who are quite simply ignorant of the fact that God loves the Bhutanese as much as God loves them, and/or are not loving their Bhutanese 'neighbor' as much as they love themselves. The fact that Christianity (as a whole) is not doing what Jesus told them to do, does not call God's character into question so much as reveals the fact that we (Christianity as a whole) have not been faithful to emulate God's character in their own lives.\nIf every Christian church in the state of California alone sent ONE member of their congregation to a place that had no access to the Gospel, there would be no place on earth that did not have access to the gospel.\nSo, God is not unjust or unloving - God's people are being disobedient, selfish, and lazy - thus giving God a bad name.


give a tip to enjoy my summer vacation! plsssss...

its that time to get away from all that work have fun relaxe go to the beach the mall other places and hang out as the saying goes during summer just go with the flow and do something exciting or i think thats how it goes \nbut really you should go to a water park,beach,travel far away, visit relatives you havent seen in years hang out with your friends just get outta the house


Im 22 in the US Navy stationed out of Sasebo, Japan. The women I talk about is a 30 year old Japanese women, the most beautiful women ive meet and we are so in love with eachother. Problem is I change duty stations in January of 2007, in about 9 months. I want to stay with her, if i make her my wife I can take her with me, the navy will pay for everything pretty much, but in doing so I feel I would be committing myself to the navy to provide a good life for her and our eventual children, but Ive planned on getting out, my dreams have been out of the navy, not in it, and I feel if I marry her I would feel trapped, what if our love does not last? I make her so happy, and its the most wonderful feeling to see her happy. I know she has had a hard life up until meeting me, she says she has never been happier, that she never knew she could be this happy. I dont want to leave her because i know how sad she will be. Should I concern my self with my wants and needs or worry about her's.

Why can't you put your dreams on hold, no one says you have to stay in the navy forever, you can always get a skill you can use in the civilian world.  My cousin was in the air force for 12 years and is now working for the air force as a civilian, he makes better money, and is not obligated to go to war.  My husband was also in the Marine Corp for 4 years, and the National Guard for 3 years, and now is self-employed.  There are always options.  My husband put a lot of his dreams on hold to provide for his family, and he has never resented it.  Even if you wait to get out in 20 years, you will be about 40 years old, which still isn't too late to start a new life if you want to in fulfilling your dreams.  Ultimately the decision is yours, you have to decide if you really love her enough to work a little harder to make yours, and her life work together.

The long-term outlook for children who develop meningitis varies greatly and depends on a child's age, the microorganism causing the infection, any other complications, and the treatment the child receives. The complications of bacterial meningitis can be severe and include neurological problems such as hearing loss, visual impairment, seizures, and learning disabilities. The heart, kidneys, and adrenal glands may also be affected. Although some children develop long-lasting neurological problems from bacterial meningitis, most who receive prompt diagnosis and treatment recover fully.\nThe majority of cases of viral meningitis resolve with no complications.   http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/lung/meningitis.html\n\nThe complications of meningitis can be severe. The longer you or your child has the disease without treatment, the greater the risk of seizures and of permanent neurologic damage, including hearing loss, blindness, loss of speech, learning disabilities, behavior problems and brain damage, even paralysis.\n\nNon-neurologic complications may include kidney and adrenal gland failure. Your adrenal glands produce a number of important hormones, including cortisol, which helps your body deal with stress.\nBacterial infections of your central nervous system progress quickly. Within a matter of days, the disease can lead to shock and death.  http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/meningitis/DS00118/DSECTION=7

I'm looking to translate "Mentő" (Hungarian for 'rescuer') into Irish.  I can only find one source ("http://homepages.enterprise.net/kelly/LIST/DICTIONARY/dict2/S.html") that claims "Sauaillagh" is the translation, but I'm not sure, as I can't find anything that collaborates this.  I only have access to online tools and don't know any native speakers.  I'm also completely unsure of how to pronounce it, as there are no pronunciation guides provided with the dictionary.\n\nAny ideas?

Im sure the answer is 'tarrthalai' and there's a fada over the second 'a' and the last letter 'i'.

I have been at my job for a while now, and the owner not the manager just made the new schedule.  Even though I've been here longer than another employee I got the crap shifts.  Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday all nights.  The girl whose already almost been fired a couple of times got my one weekend day I had off and both of my morning shifts that I really enjoyed.  I feel that since I am friends with the manager that I have gotten more screwed than the others who barely do their job.  Is this just me?

You are probley too nice. Show them you wont take anymore mess in a way that wont get you fired.Call off a couple of times. If they feel you are a valued employee they should cut you some slack. If not quit.


why is it that i am only attracted to asian women

Nowaday more and more men are attracted to Asian women - I heard many of them proclaimed that because of their moral, sweetness and inner beauty.\n\n\nUqutaq has excelent answer, the same comments I heard around me sometimes, expecially from non-American men.

I am looking for... work at home on the computer I am stay at home mom and need extra income. Does anyone work at home and if so can help me out. Thanks

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?


Matthew 12:37\nFor by thy words thou shalt be justified,\nand by thy words thou shalt be condemned.\n\nJohn 3:17\nGod did not send his son to condemn(law) the world\n\nJohn 5:45\nMoses' law is the accuser of the brethren\n\n2Corinthians 3:7,9\nlaw is the "ministration of death"\nlaw is the "ministration of condemnation" \n\nGalatians 3:11\nthat no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,\n[it is] evident (from all the biblical evidence)\n\nRevelation 22:21\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ [be]with you all. Amen.

you really are hung up on the law and grace thing aren't you?\nGrace isn't a scapegoat, that you can just go around and do and say what ever you please and then say I have grace to cover me. Grace is not the license to ignore the parts of the bible you don't like or agree with,and do as you please. \n    We are held accountable for the words we speak, even the words we speak about ourself. Words sting the heart, they wound the heart, and after a while of hearing something said to you, about you, you will start believing and behaving in that manner, yes we have the power to do that in our own life, God said so.


It depends on several factors.  If you are already experiencing pain, yes, the massage will hurt while the added pressure is applied, but should subside back to the original intensity within a few hours.  Most of the time, people do not have any unpleasant sensations from a deep tissue massage, if it starts to hurt, then ask for the therapist to not use so much pressure or to move to another area.  After working the same area for a while, it can become tender and uncomfortable.  Each person has a unique pain threshold of thier own, and what is painful to some is not to others. I personally feel pain very easily, due to a nerve problem, but do injoy a strong massage to work out the kinks in my neck shoulders and low back.  Hope this helped.

I am a younger teen and i am having pain in my breast, but its only for a short amout of time (like 5 min.)\nwhat is happening?

If the pain is just for five minutes, it's probably nothing to worry about. But if he happens frequently and if the pain is intense... more than just tenderness... then talk to your mother about seeing a doctor. If it's around your period (or if you're close to getting your period for the first time), it could be normal breast tenderness.


Sensory evaluation of oils: its importance, odours,taste and methods used in the evaluation. Why you need to elevate the temperature during the process?

Sounds like a homework question...\n\nAs for importance: the customers will care, so the producers should.\n\nSensory evaluation means little else than trained people who use the senses they were born with, they view, sniff and (in case of edible stuff) taste, often also touch, rarely listen.\n\nTesting for odours includes the test in which concentration a substance starts having a distinct odour. It is mixed with an odourless substance until the odour isn't perceivable any more. Similar tests for taste are possible.\n\nThe temperature of an oil decides which components are allowed to evaporate. It is possible that an odorous component won't be much of a bother at room temperature, but when heated in the pan will create a noxious effect. Imagine customer satisfaction in such a case.

Why do people think that good deeds sends them automatically to heaven? Why do people think that God is too loving to send people to hell?

People find it hard to believe in God because it takes faith. Additionally if they acknowledged Him they would have to come to terms with their own rebellion. If you deny God's existence then you can live anyway you want to and you can be your own God or design your own God.\n\nPeople believe good deeds get them to heaven because they think they can earn their way there. It is a pride issue, a control issue. It is idolatry. I can get my way. I can control my destiny. In essence it is saying I don't need you God to get to heaven. I can get there on my own efforts thank you. This appeals to the human heart. It is abhorrent pride.\n\nAdditionally it is ignorance. People don't realize just how depraved their hearts are. People think they are basically good and that by their effort they can make up for any shortcomings. They have no idea how really wicked they are. The bible says "The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?"(Jeremiah 17:9 NLT) Because people don't see the wickedness in their heart or the desperate state they are in they think they can work it off but they can't it is impossible. The stench of sin is too great for God to overlook. Apart from Christ's atonement and sacrifice nobody will get there. There is nothing a human can do to make up for their sins. \n\nIt is very hard to understand a loving God sending people to Hell. God created man for His pleasure and for His glory. Man rebelled against God. The penalty for sin is death. God loved and loves man and sent His Son to redeem man. Some have responded to God's grace and others have not. How can a just God ignore rebellion? In His wisdom He provided a way of escape. If people reject His provision what is a just God to do? He cannot violate His righteousness. He provides righteousness thru His Son to anyone who believes in Him. If a person rejects that gift of righteousness by rejecting His Son God has no choice but to send them to Hell. Evil cannot reside in the presence of God.\n\nIf you knew your son had committed murder would you not call the police? You love him but you know justice has to be done. How is that any different for God? He loves us but justice has to be done for the rebellion against Him. Not wanting people to go to Hell He sent His Son to pay the penalty for sins. If people don't seek forgiveness thru Christ God has to execute His justice on them.\n\nIt does not please God to send people to Hell. The bible says, "For he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow." (Lamentations 3:33 NLT)\n\nA better question is why God would provide righteousness to any sinner? Who can comprehend God's grace? Who can explain it?


Iv heard that I could go to a morman church to find records of my family trees providing one has been made

Yes.  It's kind of scary, actually that a church would keep such records on just about everyone, not just their members.  I went to such a place in Denver when I was looking for my birth-mother, but since I had no last name, they were unable to help.

can trigomonis only be transmitted through sex&

Trichomoniasis is a vaginal infection caused by the protozoan trichomonas vaginalis.  It causes itching, burning, yellow to green odorous discharge.  It is mainly passed through sexual activity.  Men usually show no symptoms.  They may sometimes have recurring urethritis.  Reinfection is common if both partners are not treated.

The American Heart Association recently changed its guidelines for Advanced Cardiac Life Support, a curriculae which governs how doctors, paramedics, nurses and allied health professionals treat cardiac-related (heart) emergencies.  \nI am attempting to find a copy of the new guidelines.


He answered mine, right after I had an entire church pray for me. It was a church that prays for sick people in a prayer group. \nI had prayed a lot before that without results, but when this group prayed for me, I was cured a couple of weeks later.\nI was cured of depression about 12 years ago, and I had depression for 20 years. I found out right after they prayed for me I had an underactive thyroid gland, got started taking thyroid supplements, and have not had depression for one day since.

God answers prayers. He loves his creation, and cares for them so much. We can pray for help with a certain problem, and he may answer our prayer...but what if it seems our prayer doesn't get answered?\n\nWe have to be open to the thought that God might answer our prayer in a different way than we thought.\n\nPaul dealt with a 'thorn in the flesh' his whole life. He prayed to have it removed, but that never happened. God DID help Paul to deal with his problem. God has perfect wisdom, so he knows best when it comes to our problems. Sometimes, our problems may not go away, and we have to endure through them. But as you will see if you look up the scriptures below, the right attitude can help us deal with whatever trials we may have to deal with while we patiently wait on God.\nRomans 5:3-5\nJames 1:2-4\nHebrews 12:11\n*1 Corinthians 10:13


she is my bestfriend & i dont want 2 hurt her

That's a tough situation.  Just tell her "Look there's something I need to tell you that you aren't going to like, but I think you need to know."  I hope she handles it well and doesn't blame you.  Just be honest, talk to her, and be supportive with whatever she decides to do with the information.

What I am looking for is a basket that I can make up  with an insperiational poem or saying to give to my pastors wife in appreciation for her service to the ladies of the church.

Hi; I do appreciation baskets quite often.  I start with a pretty basket I find at Michaels/Hobby Lobby/or any Craft store; know your budget.  Fill with lotion, candles, gift certificate to dinner or movie, nice card telling how much that person means to you.  Add anything special that they collect ... I know our pastor's wife loves pretty journals and pens; anything personal that shows you "thought" about them -- that's the trick.  I recently did this and included the other ladies by having them "donate" to her -- like a money tree -- we gave her the money and it really blessed her.  Also, I had the ladies write down a blessing or special note of appreciation to her and included that in a beautiful china cup for her to read later.  I didn't just use one poem, I used a bunch of blessings -- a basket full of blessings.  Have fun!  She will be blessed just because you thought of her!


My computer shuts down by itself.Sometimes when i try to start it ,after it shuts down,it doesn't want to start.If i turn power off and on,it will start.The power box is 400 W,processor 2 GHz and it has enough memory.

This definately sounds like a heat problem. CPU overheats and the box automatically shuts down to keep it from burning out. If the CPU is still too hot that would also prevent you from restarting right away. It could also be the power suplly, but I don't know of any that have a connector so the motherboard con monitor it's heat. They may monitor themselves though, not sure. Next time you start it up, go into your bios and find a setting named something like "PC health" or "hardware monitor" depending on the bios version, and it should tell you there what the temp of your CPU is. Watch it for a while and see how hot it gets. How much heat a CPU can take depends on it's model, but around 70c is edging towards dangerously hot. If this is the case, you'll either need a new CPU fan, or the CPU fan is installed incorrectly. If you do need to replace it, or reseat it, do NOT forget to put thermal grease between the CPU and fan. It's an easy mistake to make if you're a begginer and it will fry your CPU. Either way, good luck to you.


for the people of USA ,please visit this web site and tell what do think? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2023320890224991194 and what do you think?they made a big War depend on lies..........

The truth is that Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, etc. etc. had been working to make The Project For A New American Century (PNAC) a reality. The problem was how to sell such an ambitious plan to a MOTR public. Pax Americana might make some people nervous. But if there was something like a terrorist attack on the country, then it could be put in place....as it was. The fact is that Bush had some information on the likelihood of some kind of an attack, but they had no idea of the magnitude of what actually did happen.( Hey. Even OBL was surprised) But They let it go, thinking it would be something more typical yet good enough to get the country into a fighting mood, which is exactly what was needed for PNAC to survive. Indeed, what's so remarkable, is that the PNAC document itself bemoans the unlikeliness of getting the MOTR America to follow its more ambitious plans *unless* something catastrophic happened to change people opinions on such matters. 9/11 happened, and everything since Afghanistan fits the PNAC template perfectly. Want to know why Iraq was attacked while OBL was left alone? Read PNAC. Want to know why the animosity to the World Court, to the United Nations, to any international standards of behavior? Read PNAC. It's all there in black and white.


The words are recorded 6 times in Genesis chapter 1 that say "And there was evening, and there was morning, a [numbered day like one day, second day and so on]. First the word night is missing and the day in the order listed is evening, night, morning, day in a time and/or sequence. Another view is that the day is divided only into morning and evening and the word days is the overall unit. Still another view is the translaters just left out the word night cause its understood as a time to sleep. Or it could be in this all such a listing is very important since it was done no less that 6 times in the hopes it would be at least noticed by a few. So much has been said and argued as to how long a day it is, who is right science or creation, is it a literal day or just a play on words, etc., etc. Can't find anything about the constantly consistent reason it there like God did separate the light from the darkness and night is defintion of darkness. Why is that, who missed the Ark in Flood?

"Ereb", the Hebrew word used for "evening" means "evening, night". It's an inclusive term. Also, the earth was dark first, then light-the evening and the morning were the first day. Besides that, God reveals here what the timeframe for the honoring of His holy Sabbath is, as it is still kept in various religions,denominations and countries. (Friday evening to Saturday evening. Yes, I know this is controversial.) \nAs for whether "science" or "creation" is correct-they both are! Science is the study of the things that God has made, natural laws (showing "Intelligent Design"), etc. Most of the early scientists were believers in God. Albert Einstein himself could not deny God's existence. You see mathematics, which Einstein used to explain our universe, is the language of God-of order and design. Well, it's all enlightening and wonderful to study. I hope you soon find not only the answers you are looking for, but Truth. Take care. Buttercup

Given the length, diameter, mass and density for a steel cylinder, how can i calculate the thickness of the steel casting of the cylinder? \nNote: The cylinder would have a material inside with a given mass and density as well..

You will need to know the mass of the material inside.\n\n1.  Subtract that from the overall mass.  The remaining mass will be the steel cylinder itself.\n\n2.  Find the volume of the steel by multiplying the mass by the density factor.\n\n3.  Volume of the cylinder itself is:\n\n  [((r1^2) * pi)  - ((r2^2) * pi)] * L  = Vol of Cyl.\n\nWhere: \n\n   r1 is the outside radius \n    (known, this is half the measured diameter)\n   \n   r2 is the inside diameter (unknown)\n    \n   L  is the length of the cylinder\n\n   Vol of Cyl is the mass times the density\n\n\n4. Solve for r2 with the previous equation:\n\n  [((r1^2) * pi)  - ((r2^2) * pi)] * L  = Vol of Cyl. \n\n\n  r2 = SQRT {[((r1^2) * pi) - (Vol of Cyl * L)] / pi}\n\n5.  r1 - r2 is your cylinder wall thickness.

I need to clean up somethings on my credit report. Would it be better and faster to higher someone to do it for me or to call these places myself?  I need to clear it up kind of quick so I can close on my house.

Normally I recommend that you do not mess with credit repair services if you can help it. Many are a scam.  They charge you hundred of dollars to do stuff that you can do yourself.\n\nYour case appears to be a little more complex.  You need instant relief (which I seriously doubt you will get).  Not only do you need to work with your current creditors, you would want to work with the mortgage company.  They seem to be very unreasonable about their demands to clean up your credit report.\n\nYou may need the help of a trained negotiator.  I don't know your current income situation so I can't be of much more help here.\n\nRead the links below and decide what you would like to do.\nGood luck.


Find the limit as x approaches 1 for: (1-1/x)/(x-1).\n\nNormally I wouldn't ask math problems on this site, but I am truly stumped, and I have a feeling that I'm screwing up with the algebra.  Your help is appreciated, and a best answer will certainly be chosen!

well, you just multiply top and bottom by x, like how you simply fractions.  (clearly x isn't 0 so this is legal)\n\n= lim (x->1) x(1-1/x)/(x(x-1))\n= lim (x->1) (x-1)/(x(x-1))\n= lim (x->1) 1/x \n= 1

Is this true & does it refer to gross income or take home pay only?

The financial planning spreadsheet that I use for my budget indicates that 24-42% of expenses is the target range for housing, which includes rent or mortgage & real estate taxes, plus utilities.  Expenses should be less than take home pay, otherwise you'll be working until you die in debt.  I suggest you take a look at the Motley Fool (fool.com) or some other on-line personal finance site.  It sounds like you are ready to start a budget and will need a lot of answers.\n\nBest of Luck.  E-mail me if you get stuck.


Denver, CO 27, bday yesterday, male seeking female, he likes short girls with blonde hair but is open. Southern gentleman, looking for a nice, classy, fun girl.

I want to get a small one on my lower back or upper arm any opinion on the pain factor in those areas? I have my ears peirced 4 on each and my naval done. I did have my nose done but had to take that out. None of those hurt so i was wondering if the tatoo would be the same pain tolerance is that or what?

it's different for each person depending on your pain tolerance lower back would probably hurt less, but if you can't take much pain yes it will hurt!


Even though you've never met the individuals, you sorta enjoy the interaction/s and feel a sense of belonging.\n\nEven when we don't agree, I enjoy seeing the questions/comments of some individuals who participate regularly.  \n\nYou?

Yes I do feel the same way.  There are regulars in here who give such sane and valuable advice that I actually look forward to seeing their answers. I think I noticed myself feeling that way when I was more careful in the questions I answered because there are some users who are actually watching which questions I answer and... well... that's just profiling, right? \n\nI disagree with Zoser though in the sense that he is portraying everyone who appreciates everyone else's appreciation of everyone else (confusing, I know) as a substitute for reality.  I have lots of real life family and friends who are there and I spend quality time with them.  This is certainly not a substitute but a hobby at the very least.  I like answering questions. That's all there is to it.  If you asked me one in real life, I'd answer it too.\n\nRESPONSE TO ZOSER'S ADDITION:\nThanks for qualifying your answer, Zoser.  This time around, I do agree with you when you say that younger people need more face to face interaction.  There are some tough questions in here that would be difficult to answer face to face and even more difficult to get out in the open to ask. However, that's just character building and younger people need to jump on those opportunities if and when they come. Cheers!


I am an English teacher helping a student research what it takes to become a pediatrician.  I'd like general information about what to study in high school, college (what IS pre-med all about?), etc.

After HS its good to go for associates degree in Medical, then bachelors then talking anywhere from 4-6 yrs for the masters. there is also a board certified exam to be passed. pediatrician is a very good living, I am currently going for my associates in medical office administration, and my teacher told me that pediatricians get paid the most out of all other doctors, even cardiologists and brain surgeons. but it makes since because when your a pediatrician your dealing mostly with our future. (Children) Good Luck!


i also have ADHD gow do i get myself to focus in class REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE!

The urges that come with having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be extremely, if not impossible to over come on your own. OCD is a battle with your mind, it is a battle with yourself. It is thought that stress elevates the urges that come with OCD, but if you attempt to stop doing the routines and such, this will often stress you out more, causing the OCD to heighten. This is why it is so difficult to over come on your own, and listed by the World Health Orginization as one of the most frustrating disorders to live with, if left untreated. \n\nFor a description of treatment available for OCD and more information on the disorder refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCD#Treatment\n\nIt is also good, to keep a notepad and pencil nearby when at home, or carry one with you. When you the urge to do something, before or after you do it, write down what the urge was. Beside it, list the intensity of the urge to carry out the routine, from one to ten. Then at the end of the day, read through your notes, try to find some sense in why you shouldn't be doing these things. This will most likely only be a small solution, though. If you suspect you have this, if you already haven't, a Health Care Professional can be consulted on the matter.


well i tried to convince myself that it was diahreas cuz its brownish so if refused and i didn't tell my mom forever and i wrapped toilet paper around my under like pad

oh, you poor thing! I was only 9, and my mom hadn't told me about periods yet, because she thought I was too young. I was at school when it happened, and I FREAKED! I had no clue what was happening. Needless to say, my mom got a good laugh out of it, after she cried because it was all happening too soon! Good question!

For "namariq_alrawi" when you are able to stop hating and start listening.  Find the time to sit down and speak with a few prior services personnel, you just might be able to  understand that just like any other society there are people that do not follow the rules.

I am at a good place in my life.  I had exprerienced many trials and tribulations and greatful that I am still alive,\nI feel a little bad b/c so many people I know are struggling. what are ways I can help them? THings have gotten a little easier but I also worked hard to get to that point.

I think one of the most important things you can do is to express gratitude for every blessing that comes your way. The more you learn to recognize all the good things you have and acknowledge them, the more good that opens up for you. As for the people who don't have it so good right now, try to visualize that everyone on this earth is enjoying unlimited abundance and goodness. Ask God to bless others with the same wonderful blessings He has given you, and ask Him to show you how you can share your good fortune with others.

In many of the political questions asked here on Yahoo Answers, there are usually many more opinions and answers from the left, but when it comes to voting for the best answer, voting seems to go to the one or few conservative answers?  Why do you think this is?  Do you think it is consistent with our actual political voting patterns or represents us accurately as a country?  And yes, this will be put to a vote.  ;)

From what I have seen, liberals are a lot more emotional than conservatives. They seem to get angry a lot easier. I also agree with what tony said. Especially the part about changing their ways when they get out on their own. It reminds me of a quote from Winston Churchill, "Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains."

DUMBYA IS THE MOST EXTREMIST NAZI THE REPUBLICANS HAVE EVER RAN.  THE WARRANTLESS WIRETAPS WAS RIGHT OUT OF THE GESTAPO PLAY BOOK.

"AH HA HA HA" I almost peed-me-pants! I love this "GUY". You know the NEO-CON'S running their mouths and abusing Americans thinking they have the right to act as if they are the elite (SS) is getting real old. The NEO-CON'S have played the Liberal card too many times. I am not even a Liberal and for some reason if you oppose them which 90% of the World does, you must be a Liberal. The U.K. has a liberal government right now and they are our allies, and the only ones we really have at the present. G."DUMBYA" said he stood alone, but he insists on crying about asking for our support while starving people. The Deep South Neo-con's have made it pretty clear that they hate anyone that isn't from the South (Confederates), We are sick of you and your crap (RUSH NEO-CON LIMBAUGH) I can't wait until November; because the Neo-con's are jumping ship everyday as we speak in their own party.


I have double checked the scope for tightness. I am shooting Remington factory loads. I am getting a 5 inch spread at 80 yards. I have had others shoot the gun and get the same results. I EXPECT FACTORY LOADS TO DO BETTER.\n\nFred

is any part of the forearm touching the barrel?  \n\nwhen you are shooting it, are you in the standing position or do you shoot from a table with a rest?  if you shoot from a rest, make sure the barrel isn't touching anything.  if the barrel is resting on something, accuracy goes out the window.  \n\ntry a box of federals or winchesters.\n\nif it still isn't shooting tight, borrow someone elses scope and see what kind of group you can get at 80 yds.  you don't have to sight it in, just see what kind of group you get.  if it's tighter, the problem is in your scope.


and sick and tired of the status quo, it is our country, let's take it back! It's time to put the elephant and donkey out to pasture.

They already are, but it takes a long time for alternate parties to gain the momentum required to win higher offices.  There are many local and state offices being filled by members of alternative parties.  Ocassionally a third party candidate manages to get the majority of votes for a congressional seat.  It will be a long time before we see a third party president.


OK i need to know where i can get an audio driver for my computer. I think Soundmax maywork but I dont know how to get it to work for me.

Open your control panel and double-click "system". Click on the hardware tab and then "Device manager". In Device manager, expand "Sound and video game controllers" to view your audio devices. Anything with a big yellow question mark by it needs a driver.\nIf you have onboard audio you will find the driver on the disk that came with your motherboard. If you have a soundcard it will be on the disk for that.\nYou can search to find the drivers online, but make sure to get them from the manufacturor and not just some site with all kinds of drivers.


well, please verify your answer. i want to know why u believe or don't believe in it.. & this question isn't based on a personal experience :)

I believe there is one true person for everyone.  You can spend time with a lot of people and like many qualities in them, but when you find your soul mate, it is like finding your best friend that you have known for years.  You can finish each other's sentences because you know what the other one is thinking.  You both share a common respect and genuinely care for one another.  There is no anxiety about being together; things just seem to fall into place naturally.  People are truly fortunate to find them in their lifetime.


i am an international student in middlesex college and i am making a project about investmant banks .but i need to ask you that what is the link between information system and investment banking \nthanks

Well they actually have nothing to do with each other.  Investment banking is an investment company function where a company invests money in other small companies.  The typical function involved is financial.\n\nInformation systems [in a corporate environment] are related to the data systems used to support the operations of the business -- from financial to manufacturing to marketing information is all held within corporation information systems.\n\nsource - i have an MBA with a concentration in information systems and have dealt with many investment bankers back in my dot-com days.


The guy I am with does not want me to go out with by best friend anywhere.I can replace my b/f not my best friend.He is really jealous of me and he has no reason to be.i need time to myself like he gets.He goes out all the time but I can't he drinks and I don't.

You can't go out because:\n\n1) Because you let your boyfriend tell you you can't.\n2) Because your boyfriend is an ass.\n3) Because you haven't dumped him.\n\nThat pretty much sums it up.\n\nI'm not saying the ideal couple never spends time together or doesn't care where the other goes, but he's gone way overboard.


does it feel like normal soreness or is it different in someways

BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia \nit happens mostly because of hormonal disturbance between testosteron and dihydrotestosteron intraprostatic and then the prostate tissue enlarges and cause some irritative and obustructive symptoms such as after drippling , difficulty in voiding , hesitancy , frequent urination , urine retention .\nTHE ideal solution is to consult a urolgist for surgery that removes some extent of it or try some drugs just like proscar.

There are 4 different types of karma that you are always working on: · \nSanchita Karma: the accumulated result of all your actions from all your past lifetimes. This is your total cosmic debt. Every moment of every day either you are adding to it or you are reducing this cosmic debt.\nPrarabdha Karma: the portion of your "sanchita" karma being worked on in the present life. If you work down your agreed upon debt in this lifetime, then more past debts surface to be worked on.\nAgami Karma: the portion of actions in the present life that add to your "sanchita" karma. If you fail to work off your debt, then more debts are added to "sanchita" karma and are sent to future lives. \nKriyamana Karma: daily, instant karma created in this life that is worked off immediately. These are debts that are created and worked off - ie. you do wrong, you get caught and you spend time in jail "Resistance is Futile": As Soul, you experience a constant cycle of births and deaths into a series of bodies until you have learned all the spiritual lessons that the totality of all experiences have to teach you. Until you have learned, you will find that "resistance" to the rules of karma is "futile".

An interesting perspective and I would like to know what tradition that lesson is from? Is it from Hinduism, Buddhism or Jainism? If from Buddhism, then from what school of thought? \n\nMy personal belief is that it's too much to worry about. I do the beat that I can and try not to harm other beings. I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sanghas and I follow the five precepts as best as I can while trying to better tomorrow. When bad things happen I accept them as a condition of life and I know that it will not last forever. I should not become discouraged and upset when things go wrong. I remember that there are those in the world that are currently experiencing good things in their lives and I am happy for them. I also remember that no matter how bad things are for me, there are those that have it worse and I feel compassion for them.  When good things happen I also accept them as a condition of life and I am equally aware that good things will not last forever. There are those that do not have as much as I do and for them I feel compassion and remember to share my good fortune. I should not become overly excited just because something good has happened. When it comes time to pay my karmic dept, then I will do so willingly knowing that nothing very, very good nor very, very bad last very, very long. In time, my dept will be paid. \n\nI can only do my best each day.  Worrying about what type of karma I am accumulating or if there are types does not help me free my unborn mind. My goal it to be the best that I can be while helping others to end their suffering and find the joy that is in every breath of life. \n\nAmituofo!

If you're under the age you have to be to join Myspace and you say you're 13 or older can you go to jail?

it is not illegal.  but it is like the guy said above, reason for them to give you a fine.  you will just get your account deleted.  and you can get reported by someone on myspace if you are not the age you show.  like making your age 14 and saying in your about me:  "I am not 14, i am really 19!"  that is proof that you are lying and someone can report you to myspace.  that includes pictures, if your pictures don't make you look like you are 14, except to not have an account once someone catches you.  i have actually reported someone's account.  a stranger from somewhere else in the Usa who was really nine instead of 15.

Please get a current definition to the word "unconditionally" before placing your answer. Please do NOT assume that you know what that word means. You may even want to ask your preacher, rabbi, priest etc before placing your answer.

There are a lot of "ifs" in the bible to show that there are conditions (IE: IF you remain in me I will remain in you).  Even salvation is conditional (IF you confess with your mouth,...etc.).\n\nI do believe though that he freely gave his life for me but I still has to "do something" (a condition) to obtain his free gift of salvation (...and believe in your heart,..).


All I find are loooooong explanations I need a shorter one

The Mursi people, number about 3900.  They live in Africa, in Ethiopia. They are nomadic cattle herders, they move around to take advantage of available grazing and water for their cattle, as well as suitable conditions for growing their crops of sorghum and maize.  They live close to the border of Sudan.  The area where they live is surrounded by mountains and three rivers so they are very isolated.  they ahve their own language which is called Mursi.  Level of literacy among the Mursi is very low.  The Mursi women are famous for wearing plates in their lower lips, ornaments similar to those worn by the Suya people, a tribe in Brazil.\n\nThat's about as short as it can get.  Check out these websites.  I hope this helps.


One parent works in the day, from 9-5. The primary teacher, works in the afternoon, after schooling would be over. Homeschool only requires you to do 4 hours per day. My question though, is it legal?

Pyrate has the right attitude. The others who spoke about kids under 18 needing to constantly be in the care of a parent are wrong. I know lots of 13 year olds who babysit babies and toddlers.\n\nIn this situation, you are speaking of a 13 year old and a 16 year old....both old enough to stay home alone while you go on a date with your spouse, why would they then not be able to stay at home alone while you go to work? \n\nIt can be done. There will always be those who think anything other than the norm is "illegal." These are not experts, and many experts are wrong anyway.\n\nWhat state are you in? The amount and type of work/hours put into a school day vary from state to state and whether or not testing is required also varies from state to state.\n\nThis can be done legally.\n\nAnd TINATURNER was wrong. Even Public Schools are only in session about 6 hours...why then would homeschools be required to be in session for 8 hours? Stop talking about subjects you know nothing about!

But remember first dont talk about sex, vietnamese girl is a lil discreet & shy. You have to be patient! Good luck!


Do we need politicians for this, or just understanding?

so many have tried, more have failed. It is not in human nature to be tolerant and we allwant to control the other. So Alas, peace and understanding wil never happen , for each culture has its own rules and values and we are subjective to our perception to even come to an understanding of how an other cultre functions. Even the slightest difference in your states can cause conflicts... look at the juridical differences between states... \ndo I need to say more? \nWe wish and hope that is what thrives within us.


I am from Texas, and always love it when the summer starts rolling around.  We always have these great thunderstorms roll up, winds bring the rain smell, clouds get dark, rain pours, thunder roars, lightening lights up the sky.  Just feels great.  Anyone feel this way?  (NO- not talking about killer storms)

Oh, I love it!  I'm a Texan too and I know what you mean about the good ol' fashioned thunderstorm.  \n\nI'm a SKYWARN storm spotter and I do sometimes look forward to a good ringtailed roarer to blow through and stir up some excitement.  I don't even mind a little small hail beating a staccato rhythm on my roof as long as my car's put up.  Too often, though, it dumps way too much rain all at once or pops out a tornado or kicks out big ol' boulders.  Yeah, I gotta report it. I'm glad to be able to volunteer for this but so often the S hits the fan in the wee hours.  It kinda bums sometimes when my radio tones out and I have to get out of bed, hit the radar and the radios (3 at once-- NOAA Weatheradio, the local 2-meter ham frequency and a UHF rig) AND broadcast.  Forget it-- I might as well have me a big ol' glass of tea or a pot of coffee!  \n\nBut heck yeah. I love thunderstorms!!   Seen a few tornadoes, too.  Now THOSE are scary but spellbinding...


doing this to make my girlfriend happy im a little nervous about it

Kind of like shaving your face.  Trim the hair down first, use warm water to relax the skin, use a good cream, and BE CAREFULL...\np.s. you might want to avoid sex right after as the juices will irritate your skin and cause you to get bad razorburn.


Hi all i'm 39yr old, gulfwar vet.and ex goverment employee.. and now retired do to gulfwar illness(medical). My problem is i'm going through a divorce and have a 50/50 chance of losing 1/2 of my pay,do to alimony and child support my pay is in the 40 grand range now i need to know should i give up my med. retirment to go back to work or try to make it on a 20 grand salary..i have child support to pay which will end in less then 5 years..which sould give me about 28 grand a yr to live off of after child support ends..i know u are asking why do i have to pay so much.. well she(my wife) refuse to work and says she is to old to work shes in her upper 40s..been married for almost 20 yrs and yes she did work at 1 time.. what should i do work or stick with my retirement..(if i give up my med retirement i might get it back if i get sicker...

Go to court.  If your wife is healthy and able to work you have a good chance of getting the amount you pay significantly lowered.  These are different times.  As a matter of fact my ex and I have joint custody but I pay him.  Because I am capable to work.  Even when I wasn't currently employed.


Today I was sitting with this guy i like just messing around playing a game on the net in the computer lab. Some other friends of ours were there. Out of nowhere this guy (one of his friends I believe) Just bursts out "Do you like trevor?" (by the way trevor is the guy i like... who was also sitting right next to me at the time). I didn't know what to say so I turned away and tried to pretend I didn't hear him, Even though you could tell I did, based on how red my face got. The guy who asked the question asked it again twice (until i would answer). I said "ummm.. uhh well i use to like him...uhh" (trevor knows i liked him once along time ago). I still do like him. I just want to know if maybe based on my reaction to the question does Trevor have any idea that I like him?

unless he is a complete dumba** then he knows that you still like him. however he will most likely never react to it unless you address him first


I'm a master student in Malaysia, doing my tesis on the topic of "motivation among students in the game of ten-pin bowling". I'll be very grateful if you would kindly e-mail me some article or journal that will enhance my knowledge in the above topic.\nThanks, in desprate need of any kind of assistance.. n God bless

I'm not sure if i understand exactly what your looking for, but what motivates me is just to have a night out doing what i enjoy and what i'm good at...  If your looking for what motivated me to get started, both my parents bowled, it was just one of those family things...  \n\nAnyway, soounds like an interesting choice of topic...  good luck, What's your major, btw????  i'm guessing maybe sports psychology..  sounds like fun :-)

Having your significant other cheat on you several times, or your friend who does not like the SO and talks about your SO without you knowing about it to others, and your friend has nothing nice to say about your partner?\n\nNotes:  Your friend is just an online friend.  \nYour friend has not seen "the good" your SO does for you?\nThe SO accidentally insulted your friend in the past, and your friend couldn't get over it.\nThe SO kept the affairs a secret.\n\n\nPersonal note:  This friend is sorry for saying anything bad about your SO, but continues to tell people the story, as you no longer talk to your friend.

The SO cheating is worse. A leopard does not change his spots and I would think long and hard about your impending wedding. That is a complete betrayal.\n\nAs for your online friend, I think he/she is just disgusted by the whole situation and is worried about you getting hurt. As for them not seeing the "good" thinks your SO does--who cares? If my husband cheated on me and then bought me a convertible, does that make it OK? Sounds like your friend would like to help and is frustrated he/she is not getting through to you.


what do i enter into the calculator to calculate time for man hours worked in a day, to keep a running hours worked ?

9 hrs and 38 min. You worked 14  min from 7-8. then from 8-2 is 9 hrs. You worked 24 min from5-6 so you add it up.\n9hrs+ 14min+24 min= 9hrs and 38 min.

Like in the Chick-Fil-A symbol, the backwords "k", how can I write that in Word?

The only way I know is to use WordArt. \n1) On the Menu bar click: Insert / Picture / WordArt \n2) Choose the upper right-hand WordArt style option (simplest one if you only need it for one letter)\n3) Click OK \n4) Once the "Edit WordArt Text" box pops up, select the font and size you want for the "K" \n5) Click OK\n6) Left click on the "K" to highlight it\n7) Move the mouse cursor to the left most part of the letter until it turns into a double ended horizontal arrow\n8) Click and hold the left mouse button, while you hold it drag the cursor to the right making sure you go an equal distance to the right as the letter was wide on the left\n9) Let go of the mouse button\n\nThere you have a backwards 'K'. If you click anywhere else it will unselect the WordArt. And the one good thing I found is that you can type as close to the inserted text as needed.

What measure of central tendency would be most appropriate for a measurement of salaries if the salaries are normally distributed, why did you choose the measure that you did?

first of all salaries, especially in america are not normally distributed. Yet in a hypothetical sense, you could use any of them in a normal distribution because they would be approximately the same. but mean is sensitive to outliers or extremes in data, whereas median and mode is not.


been seperated 3 yrs. 2 kids. uncontested, no property, just divorce.

If you use a website, generally those cost money.  And each form varies from state to state, so the best bet is really to go to a law library for your state.\n\nYou should consider a lawyer - you might be surprised at how inexpensive it is to file an uncontested divorce.

i want organizations that help low in come familys

http://www.liheap.ncat.org\n\nThey provide help with paying high utility bills for low income families. Just type in your state in the search bar on the left.\n\nThe local Dept. of Human Services. Maybe they can help with getting food stamps or some other assistance. \nAlso, there's some charities that might help, Catholic Charities, United Way, and The Red Cross. In my town, the local Baptist Association helps people out with money or clothes. If I think of more I'll add them later.


OMG Sheila! I used hair spray once! I had to peel my shirt off and thank God I had shaved under my arms or I hate to think what would have happened then. I felt so stupid! The worst part is that it was Super Hold hair spray. But I'll give you one better. When I was a police officer, I worked with a Detective who was a lot like Colombo. You know, so dumb he was smart? He was a good cop but he couldn't couldn't eat a sandwich without getting mayonaise on his fingers and then he would touch his head when he was talking, just Lt. Colombo would and everytime he'd get mayo on his forehead! One day, we were all at the station for role call and he walked in and he was just scratching himself all over his arms and his chest. I said "Robert, what wrong?" and he said "I don't know. I'm itching something terrible. I think I'm allergic to this new shower lotion that my wife just bought." I said "Shower Lotion?" and he said, "Yeah, it's from Dial. The soap people." I started laughing and I said "Robert, roll up your sleeve." He looked at me kind of funny and rolled up his sleeve and there was white streaks all over his skin and it was sticky to the touch. After I stopped laughing, I said "Robert, you goofy sh#t, you've covered yourself with liquid Dial soap, not lotion! You'd better get home and rinse it off, now!" After that we removed all the liquid soap from the station bathrooms and stuff just to mess with him. He ended up with like ten trial size things of body lotion in his mail box at the station. Oh, and thank you for you kind response to my "forgive me" plea. I'm not usually so cranky but I guess I had a moment there where I lost myself. As an American, it gets a bit tiring when everyone hates you just for being an American. I suppose the entire world doesn't hate us but sometimes it seems that way. Take care, Sweetie and thanks again. God bless.


I just feel like getting a nice laugh and what the heck you get two points for answering it anyways, but please at least tell a real joke and i dont care if its not that good but just try at least..........

The FBI was holding interviews for new agents, the 1st candidate was a man, they told him 'This is your final test, your wife is in that room, here is a gun, you must kill her in 5 minutes in order to become an agent.'  A few minutes later the man came out crying 'I can't kill my wife for a job, I love her too much'.  \n2nd candidate was a man, he was given the same instructions, to enter the room and kill his wife with the supplied gun.  He also refused to do it.\nThe 3rd candidate was a woman, who was told 'This is your final test, your husband is in that room, here is a gun, you have 5 minutes to kill him in order to become an agent.'  As the interviewers waited outside the room, they heard a few shots, followed by a lot of noise.  At the end of the 5 minutes, the woman came out and said 'that bullet was loaded with blanks!  I had to beat him to death with the chair!'  \n\nBoom boom!

My grandma gave power of attorney to my cousin after grandad died in 1993. I think that my cousin is stealing all my grandmas money. I have evidence, but the family doesn't want me to turn them in. What should I do?

Talk to your Grandma, see if you can get her to change power of attorney to someone else.  If your grandmother is really being exploited, you need to act.  You can talk to a lawyer yourself, usually you can get an initial meeting for free, at least an hour, and bring your evidence, see what they think.  Your family should have your grandmothers best interests at heart, and would probably be forgiving if you helped her out.

Was blue, transparent and the bite as such didn't hurt. It started itching at first but now my hand's all swollen and hurts (not too much). Are these symptoms of a wasp bite? Help please!

Insect Bite\n\nWhen I get an insect bite, I use the homeopathic remedy Natrium Muriaticum, immediately. I use water or saliva to moisten the pill and distribute it on the bite. \n\nIf some time has elapsed before I get to the homeopathic pills, I use Ferrum Phosphoricum, because the body may have already reacted with an inflammation.\n\nFor swelling I use Dinshah Color MedicineTM, Dinshah color Indigo. Or, I take Kalium Muriaticum under my tongue, often at first, later less and less.\n\nFor the pain I take the homeopathic remedy Hypericum Perforatum. Also very often at first, under the tongue.\n\nYou have to decide if you should get a treatment by a professional. \n\nWishing you a speedy recovery.\n\nCordially, India.Magica

I always leave my computer powered up and when it goes into the sleep mode and then I bring it back up I have to reboot to establish my DSL connection. I have tried several solutions, the DSL people know of no solution, and the settings on the motherboard seem to be correct. I need some help on how to stay connected with having to reboot constinatly. Thanks for any help

It could be an issue with your network card. The cheaper cards or embedded network circuits could go into permanent sleep after your computer goes into hibernation or sleep mode thus forcing you to reboot to take it up again. \n\nThe fix is to check all your power setting to make sure your everything is correct and/or install a decent network card.


I really don't understand it.\n\nIt's called "Call It Fear" by Joy Harjo.\n\nHere's the poem:\nhttp://iwriteilive.blogspot.com/2005/04/call-it-fear-by-joy-harjo.html

It is rather complex...I found it hard to analyze too...It seems like she's saying the fear is holding her back, and like it makes her feel like she's on the edge. I think she's trying to tell us how it makes her feel inside. But at the same time she seems to speak in metaphors, so I may not be getting the meaning she is trying to convey.


I have been diagnosed with some big long word that in short means i am allergic to water. there is such thing as having a reaction to heat and cold, but thats not it. the doctor simply said I am one of very few who is indeed allergic to water. it only effects the outside of your body as far as they know, but i have had many stomach/breathing/heart and everything else problems since I was a baby. anyway have any input? anyone ever heard of it? and it isnt something in the water either.

Are you sure you are allergic to the water itself rather than something IN the water? I ask because it is odd that it would only affect you on the outside, because I would think being allergic to the water itself would cause reactions internally too.\n\nI'm personally allergic to chlorine (and bromine), so I can't go swimming in pools or I break out in a horrible rash.  I also get a small amount of eczema from taking showers (the amount of eczema is directly proportional to the amount of chlorine in the water).  Since I don't generally drink pool water, I don't have problems drinking tap water. But chlorine in the air makes me sick (from pools or cleaning solutions).\n\nI have actually heard of someone being allergic to water, on I think Ripley's believe it or not.  But she would get hives from crying, and she couldn't drink water either. She could drink juice or milk though if I recall correctly.


Has any true evidence been found that shows they exist?

An alien, literally, is someone who travels (and possibly lives) in a region or country he/she/it does not really belong in (due to polits, culture, etc).  So, I believe in aliens from other countries ... there are enough of them all over North America :P\n\nBut then aliens from other planets is a little too much to digest. \n\nWell, then again ... it's hard to believe that with the size of the universe, we're the only form of life in the ENTIRE place.  So, there is other life, or at least I'd like to think so.  \n\nBut it's scary to think that this other life has actually travelled God knows how many light years to get to our planet.  The only form of life that there is in our galaxy that we know of is the bacteria that is found on Mars.  So whoever these beings are, they'd have to travel from some other galaxy out there somewhere ... And if they actually did, it shows that they have way more technology than we do.  \n\nSo I'm better off believing that there are no aliens ... in the sense that we have yet to receive visitors from outer space.

could you explain to me why or why not you support israel in their conflict in the middle east?

Jews have always been in the area now known as Israel.\n\nA short allegory of Israel:\n\nPretend that Israel is an apartment building.\n\nSome jews live there, some Arabs (Jordanians). Many empty nasty apartments.\n\nThe Health Department says you Jews need a place to live. Take these places, fix them up, live here.\n\nTired Jews move into vacant apartments, in spite of the hatred and attacks and murders by the Arabs (Jordanians).\nThem fix up the apartments, live quietly, and protect themselves.\n\nHealth Department comes by and says, good job, you can keep the apartments and the building itself.\n\nJews now own the building. Arabs (Jordanians) say "Oh my God, they will murder and kill and rob and rape us simply because we murdered and killed and robbed and raped them, how unfair!!"\n\nArabs (Jordanians) run away leaving vacant apartments.\n\nAbandoned apartments become property of the landlords (Jews) and are turned over to other settlers who move in.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) go to all other Arab countries and whine about reparations and poverty. Other Arab Countries kick them out.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) decide that they need a new image.\n\n"Hey!!! We're Palestinizers now! Palestinites? Palestonians? Palesturgers??? (Gets out Liberal Arab Talking Points Crib notes) Oh! Palestineans! Right. These mean thoughtless cruel non burkah wearing Jews have DRIVEN us from our ancestral lands in Palestan. Wait!! Palestine. Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo (are the cameras still on me?) Hoo. We are peaceful people so murder them, rape their women, crush their children, blow up their weddings, funerals, cafe's, busses, wait - don't hurt the furniture, we'll need that!"


are you ask your self !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!where you going to go after the death

well I think I'm a relatively decent person, I try not to lie...I don't steal ( when I was little I stole little things that I've prayed for forgiveness for), I pray ALMOST every night, give to people when I can, BUT, I do smoke pot. I don't think that will matter when it comes down to everything in the end. I believe in God and Jesus Christ, and I believe I will go to heaven in the after life.

I am inteseted in continuing to march color guard in college but I am not quite sure where different college marching bands are located.

FAMU's Marching 100, right here in Tallahassee FL, are among the best in the world. They win nearly every competition they enter, they fly all over the world performing. They recently backed Kanye West at the Grammy's. If you can make it in, there is no better.\n\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=5yANhqS90mo\n\nAlso, they were much of the basis for the movie "Drumline".

what do you think about the world system , do you actualy believe that there is true democracy and freedom nowadays, or is our system (the world system)just an improved form of a new dictatoship?

Some people might argue that true democracy is taking root in many places world wide, while others say that it is merely on the surface, and our current "democracies" are really just oligarchies masquerading as republican forms of government.  I do believe, however, that true democracy exists - otherwise, for example, how could a terrorist group like Hamas become the elected majority in the Palestinian government?  Only the wishes of the radicalized Palestinians could have made that happen, and I haven't heard any charges of corruption in regards to that particular election.  Look at Ukraine in 2004, the so-called "Orange Revolution" where the dictatorial government there was ousted after a successfully contested election.  Democracy can prevail.


Why is the result heterogeneous? How do soda companies put CO2 in soda?

When in the bottle or can the solution is in equilibrium with the partial pressure of C02 equal to the pressure in the can. When the can is opened the pressure in the can drops (the ffffft or hiss sound you hear) and now the partial pressure of C02 in the soda solution is greater than the atmospheric pressure. This results in C02 coming out of solution, which causes bubbles to form. The bubbles represent a separate phase, which is a heterogeneous mixture rather than the homogeneous mixture prior to opening.\nNote that the CO2 levels does not completely equilibrate upon opening. Once the solution has come nearly to equilibrium (re CO2), the soda is said to have 'gone flat' and is no longer fizzy.\n\nI'm not sure the presence of oxygen has anything to do with this phenomenon.


Me and my boyfriend have been on and off for three years and hes a real ass at times. NOT TO METION HES GETTIN REALLY UGLY AND WELL I NEED TO DUMP HIM!!! What do I do and how do \nI do it.

The way I look at it, if synchrized swimming and figure skating on ice are Olympic sports in Winter, why not synchroneze marching and roller figure skating in the Summer Olympics?

Just so Canada wins a few Gold medals. They always win and when they lose, everyone is up in arms ready to run some poor judge back to France then blame the Russians.

Indifference is worse than hate.  When you hate someone, there is still a surge of emotions but it's just swinging towards the other end of the spectrum (the other end being love).  When you're indifferent, you psychologically kill the person because you couldn't care less what that person does to you.  This is why being given the cold shoulder hurts so much because the other person doesn't acknowledge your presence.

I mean in Islam, Muslims finishes The Quran at lest every month or two and in Ramadan (month) some Muslims finishes the Quran more than 3 time.\nWhat about Christian people do they do that?

I'm sure many do.  My Grandma, for instance, can't see all that well so she listens to a program on the radio 15 minutes a day where the guy reads it to her and she follows along with her large-print Bible -- gets through it once a year.  \n\nA couple points I want to make though -- the Bible is MUCH longer than the Quran so that needs to be taken into account.  And in both religions, I think there needs to be a distinction between simply reading all the words and trying to understand and absorb what the book is telling you.  Too many "religious" people don't act at all like their religion would have them act.  So it's not just a matter of "Do they read it" but also "Do they understand and apply it to their lives?"


I saw it on my calendar. I like to learn about other nations' holidays.

Commonwealth Day is the annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations held on the second Monday in March, and which is marked by a multi-faith service in Westminster Abbey normally attended by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Head of the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth Secretary-General and the Commonwealth High Commissioners in London. The Queen delivers an address to the Commonwealth which is broadcast throughout the world on the BBC.\n\nWhile it has a certain official status, Commonwealth Day is not a public holiday in most Commonwealth countries and there is very little public awareness of it.\n\nAfter the death in 1901 of Queen Victoria, the first British Monarch who used the style Emperor/Empress of India (in the British position as Paramount ruler) in addition to the royal title of the UK, her birthday, May 24, was made an annual commemoration under the name Empire Day.\n\nIn 1958 Empire Day was renamed Commonwealth Day, in accordance with the new post-colonial form of the forum of nations bound by the (former or continuing) rule of the British crown, and from 1977 it has been celebrated on the second Monday in March rather than in May.\n\nIn 2006 Queen Elizabeth II delivered her Commonwealth Day address from St. Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, Australia.


is it because for every foreign substance, the white blood cells produce different antibodies made especially for that disease, therefore the antibody that was produced for the chicken pox virus is different than an antibody the white blood cells would produce in response to a different disease, such as measles.

Bingo!  In fact, when doctors test for certain kinds of diseases, including HIV, they don't look for the disease itself, but for antibodies in your blood that are specific to that disease.


I have this little problem. Its just I hate being touched, well more I don't like showing affection. I mean, even in school, if someone comes to give me a hug, like afriend even, I cringe and back away. I just hate hugging or holding hands.Even when someone tells me like they love me (a friend), or if they give me a compliment, I don't even know what to say. Only onn thing stays in my mind, and thats Ew. My girlfriend came to give a hug once, and when she came towards me I backed away. I don't know, it just disgusts me. When people try to hug me all I want to do is just cringe. Like, i just feel awkward, in publis and even when privatly, where no one can see me but them. I think some of it might be that i'm a little bit of a germaphobe and I don't exactly have the highest self-esteem or respect for myself.. I don't even drink out of the same glass as my sister. I don't know if this is just a phase. if other people go through this to, or if there might be a reason I act like this.

There is no such thing as 'normal'. You are just more sensitive and it is your personal way of living. When it comes to affection, you will probably have a much more intense enjoyment WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO. Don't let others rule how you 'should' feel about hugs and things. You feel the way you feel. You should just acknowledge it to yourself and try to work it into your life however you can. Don't worry about being 'different'. People who are different are the ones that make life interesting. If everyone was 'normal', there would be no need for so many of them.


Can the water get warmer than the air? why? and how?\nplease put specific details. (not deatails like a heater.)\nHow can it naturally?

Yes it can, and it is usually due to volcanic events under the water.


Why do christians say that God will punish anyone who sins, and not a single person is allowed to make a mistake without having to ask forgiveness, and yet he lets someone like the devil live on? If he's the creator, then that means he created the devil right? So did he just purposefully create the devil to cause problems for all the children he supposedly "loves"? \nSomething doesn't make sense to me here....

Wow what a great question. So I understand. God created everything, he created the devil, and therefore he created sin. (which is the breaking of Law.. which he created!)\nSo when people say oh... its the devils work, its is just as much gods work too, just as much as a pretty flower is his work, so is the the Tsunami and 9/11... Ok so god is good.. but god is Evil too!\n\nHe doesn't deserve my worship.


I'm sure some have already, but will there be an increase?

Yes, it's already happening, where women go on vacations to get a husband, but it will happen more and more...


I stored a bunch of things on the flash memory pen, and now I can't get it off. I was under the false impression that my data was safe on here, now I am screwed. Any help?

If you are on an older computer, it may need the driver for the device.  On newer machine, you do not need it.  Also, if you locked your data with a password using a utility that came with the USB drive it may be asking for that.


Emphasis on the female perspective here!

Come on people tell the truth. Girls also like to kiss on the first date. Because if that doesn't occur, they'll be sitting around all weekend wondering if you guys found them desirable.


p.s I am a male and 15 year old and I slim


If I rip a dolby digital 5.1 surround sound dvd to my computer hard drive, would it be in surround sound on my computer, say I have a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers for a computer, would it go through the speakers correctly?? And if so, if I were then to burn the movie to a dvdr, and played that dvdr through my home theater system, would it sound correct?? Is it the same with the new technology of dual discs, music put into 5.1 surround sound?? I can't find this informaiton anywhere. Hopefully somone knows.


I can have the video formatted in any way, but is there a video/multimedia format that can be used as a Windows screensaver?

Greetings,\n\nI found the program My Video Screen Saver 1.0 which is for for Windows XP/2000/ME/98/NT/95 that should be able to run your videos. It's freeware and compatible with *.avi, *.mpg, *.mpeg, and *.wmv files. I have used this program on my own computer and it runs a *.avi beautifully with no issues at all in screensaver mode.\n\nTo download and install this program, go to http://www.tcsoftdev.com/downloads.htm\n\nClick on the download link for the file "myvideoss.scr" and save the screen saver file to a folder such as "My Documents".  Then right click on the file and select "Install". After installing it, you will be able to go to the Screen Savers tab in Display Properties and configure this screensaver.\n\nGood luck and enjoy!
