I love to laugh so if u have a funny joke..please share. Gross is okay too. haha

The Test\n\nThree men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.\n\nThe first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."\n\nThe first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.\n\nThe second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.\n\nThe first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."


Ive been trying to do a low carb eating plan (because my stomach is always upset after eating anything like pasta, bread, crackers after eating anything processed I have to take several antacids just to feel better - along with the stomack upset I also get very bloated {that I do not understand}) HOWEVER Im not able to completely cut them out because the cravings are incredibly bad ... I eat fruits & veggies, cheeses, plenty of protein and I rarely eat sweets, when I try to ignore the craving (to see if it will go away) it doesnt & then I end up indulging WAY over the top... I know to eat carbs in portions and I have tried but to no avail... HELP

hello, the first thing you need to do is get enough fiber in your diet from making you stop eating that much to begin with...fiber fills you up and you must get the good fiber, not just any fiber..good fiber are from fruits, veggies, whole grain breads etc..there is nothing wrong with having carbs, but you must have the good ones, not the bad ones, and we all know what the good ones are, just do a google search 'good carbohydrates' and they will list the foods that are good for you..cut out all the processed foods and meat if you have that at all.  drink alot of water and excercise cause excercise cuts out your craving for carbs and water fills you up temporarily just in case you dont want to eat for a while.  good luck and don't worry about the good carbs, just worry about the BAD ones! and be careful with protein, too much is not good for the liver, try FIBER, GOOD FIBER instead..

ebay would be no good. theyve banned the sale of sporting tickets, \n\ni would contact the club either at thier ticket office or online webiste.


..if you knew your salary before you were hired then how can you complain??

Amen to englishteacher!  The day does not end for us when the children go home - that's when you start the mountain of paperwork and planning that needs to be done to ensure the next day is smooth and productive. \nGood teachers will also very rarely have the full holidays, all teachers I know spend half their holiday in the classroom, organising the next terms work.  In addition, we also have a 24 hour a day, seven day a week "duty of care" to children (not just the children we teach, but all children everywhere, and that includes "vulnerable adults"), meaning we are never "off duty".  Teachers end up being friends with teachers cos it gets to the point when you can't talk about anything else!!  My cousin is constantly being berated by her husband for telling everyone (including taxi drivers and shop assistants) about the kids she teaches.  You just cannot leave the job behind when you (finally!) go home.\nAs for the money, the majority of teachers I know do it cos they love the job and want to help kids maximise their potential in life.  However, if salary is looked at as a reflection of the role you play in the functioning of society, how can we be receiving less than an advertising exec???  I think the issue teachers have with the money is that it is not reflective of the job that we do, compared to the salary received by others.  I'm not money grabbing, I don't aspire to be rich, but I do want society to recognise the importance of the job we do.  I don't "play with kids" all day, I work long and hard to ensure every child I am resposnsible for becomes the greatest person they can be.  If you don't want us to have more money to reflect that, then think of another way you can show us respect.


I have just recently married a most wonderful man, however the rest of the package (2 brothers 2 sisters) dont have the best interest at heart for each other, constantly outdoing each other, then the rudeness, cruelty, picks on the weakest point and magnifies it out of proportions. What can I do to show the unhealthiness of this being so damaging?

Avoid them like the plague!  You're outnumbered.  If you MUST be with them, respect them and show them by example, how NORMAL people would react.\nEVERY family has a couple odd-balls!


just curious, like even if its over the phone, and you hear someone yawn and dont actually see it you still feel the impulse to yawn too, or if you dont hear it and its through your car and the person in the car next to you yawns and you see it you have the urge to yawn as well.  wierd. is it some sort of social psyco group mentality or is there some other scientific reason??

What's behind this mysterious epidemic of yawning? First, let's look at what a yawn is. Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply. We know it's involuntary because we do it even before we are born. Research shows that 11-week-old fetuses yawn. \n\nThere are many parts of the body that are in action when you yawn. First, your mouth opens and jaw drops, allowing as much air to be taken in as possible. When you inhale, the air taken in is filling your lungs. Your abdominal muscles flex and your diaphragm is pushed down. The air you breath in expands the lungs to capacity and then some of the air is blown back out. \n\nWhile the dictionary tells us that yawning is caused by being fatigued, drowsy or bored, scientists are discovering that there is more to yawning than what most people think. Not much is known about why we yawn or if it serves any useful function, and very little research has been done on the subject. However, there are several theories about why we yawn. Here are the three most common theories: \n\n\nThe Physiological Theory -- Our bodies induce yawning to drawn in more oxygen or remove a build-up of carbon dioxide. This theory helps explain why we yawn in groups. Larger groups produce more carbon dioxide, which means our bodies would act to draw in more oxygen and get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. However, if our bodies make us yawn to drawn in needed oxygen, wouldn't we yawn during exercise? Robert Provine, a psychologist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and a leading expert on yawning, has tested this theory. Giving people additional oxygen didn't decrease yawning and decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in a subject's environment also didn't prevent yawning. \nThe Evolution Theory -- Some think that yawning is something that began with our ancestors, who used yawning to show their teeth and intimidate others. An offshoot of this theory is the idea that yawning developed from early man as a signal for us to change activities. \nThe Boredom Theory -- In the dictionary, yawning is said to be caused by boredom, fatigue or drowsiness. Although we do tend to yawn when bored or tired, this theory doesn't explain why Olympic athletes yawn right before they compete in their event. It's doubtful that they are bored with the world watching them. \nThe simple truth is that even though humans have been yawning for possibly as long as they have existed, we have no clue as to why we do it. Maybe it serves some healthful purpose. It does cause us to draw in more air and our hearts to race faster than normal, but so does exercise. There's still much we don't understand about our own brains, so maybe yawning is triggered by some area of the brain we have yet to discover. We do know that yawning is not limited to man. Cats, dogs, even fish yawn, which leads us back to the idea that yawning is some form of communication. \n\nHave we provoked a yawn out of you yet? If we have, hopefully it's not out of boredom, but by the power of suggestion.


I know Search Engine Watch is a good option

The best mix I've found is Yahoo.  Google is a great search engine but they don't really have anything else.  I think that's much of the appeal for some people.  I recommend Yahoo for a good mix.  They let you comment and vote on their news stories so you can discuss them with other people online.  Other than that I recommend you diversify and read more than one source of news since they're all jaded and bias.


Our government is falling to pieces as we speak, even without bush, did he set us too deep into the hole to come back to our former glory as the most powerful nation in the world?\n\nWith the last race between Kerry and bush,I have a hard time seeing the end of this heavy storm, even under Democrats.

I really hate being pessimistic about our country, but I think we're on the way out.  Every major nation in the world has had their rise and fall.  I think it's now, unfortunately, our turn to bite the dust.  Just look at history.  The Roman Empire, the British Empire, on and on.  Yep, we're on the way down.


I need help to make sure what happens isn't as serious as it might be, But sometimes not all the time out mostly out of the blue when you least expect it but sometimes when I am urinating, it feels like I have pulled a muscle in my scrotum to the point where I cant move and cant continue to urinate and have to hold a weird position until it relaxes it self and I can resume. Is this just what I think it is pulling a muscle or is it something worse?

i think (my opinion) that it is a pulled muscle...like a cramp or sumthing, cuz when u get a cramp in ur leg, you flex it to pull it out....in ur case, holding it in a position and the pain stops....but iunno..


My man Maurice Evans on the Detroit Pistons probably would top the list. This may be a Pistons fan kind of thing though, given that he's a bench player. I'm not really sure about any other players around the league.

Antoine Walker...damn his 3's look ugly...

i'm weighing only 38kg and at a height of 163cm... so... HELP!

How To Gain Weight \n\n\n\nThis one seems like a no-brainer, eh? How do you gain weight? You eat. You cannot gain weight without eating... in the exact opposite of losing weight, actually, you cannot gain weight without consuming more calories than you burn off. \n\nThe bigger question, in our weight-loss worshipping world, is why would you want to gain weight? Fact is that sometimes we become too thin, dangerously so, to the point where we begin to suffer all these negative side effects and eventually death. Sometimes gaining weight is a pretty attractive option by comparison. Being at a healthy weight helps every system of our body function better, allows us to heal from damage, and gives us reserves as protection against stress or illness as well. \n\nThe tougher part of weight-gain is how to do it in a healthy manner. Just as rapid weight-loss can be dangerous, so can rapid weight gain. Many EDs who go through rapid recovery end up with too high a bodyfat percentage, too much fat stored around their internal organs, compromised health, and high cholesterol. This is in part because traditional anorexic "recovery" diets are aimed at bulking up the patient as quickly as possible by fat-loading everything they eat with no thought for the health quality of the food being given. \n\nIt's safer to aim for a gain of one or two pounds a week so as to not put undue stress on your recovering system and to know that you're rebuilding bone, muscle, and nutrient stores instead of just frantically storing fat. It's more important to restore your body's protein, elemental, vitamin, water, fat and sugar balances than to simply send the numbers on the scale up. Once you do this, given sufficient raw materials your body will rebuild itself more strongly. \n\n\n \nIn The Beginning\n\nIf you're deciding to gain weight, odds are it's because you're underweight. If you're underweight, barring a purely illness-related weight-loss problem which should really be addressed by a doctor instead, you have probably not been eating enough. If you haven't been eating enough for a while, your digestive system will need to be retrained. Same goes for extended or extensive purging... it screws with your entire system, and there will need to be plenty of time devoted to patience and healing. \n\nExtended periods of time with insufficient solid food intake causes your entire digestive system to slow down and lose efficiency. Amounts of digestive chemicals in production may drop, and the tiny fingerlike cilia that absorb foods in your small intestine may become paralyzed or die off. The peristaltic muscles that move food through your system may weaken or atrophy. Large meals or a lot of food at once may confuse your stomach and intestines to the point where they cramp up and have trouble remembering what to do at all. All this will need to be repaired slowly, given time to reaccustom itself to the concept of processing and utilizing food again. \n\nStart with liquids. Rehydration is extremely important, since without food our overall water content drops significantly, and the digestive process requires a great deal of water. In the first few days of refeeding you may notice a sudden gain of several pounds... this is most likely, if you're doing everything right, your water balance trying to straighten itself out. You may feel bloated for a while as this happens and it's extremely important that you allow it to take care of itself and do not try to correct it with diuretics; limiting caffeine, which acts as a diuretic, may be a good idea here. Potassium can also act as a mild diuretic but do not try to limit that, as it's an important electrolyte and part of rehydration is bringing your electrolytes back up to a good strong level. You may benefit more from drinking water and juice between meals, instead of with meals, as liquids during meals can make your stomach feel fuller and may slow digestion a bit.


Whatever happened to the stunningly beautiful debutante, Sandra Cassell?

After "Last House", she made 4 more highly exploitative and forgettable films, "The Filthiest Show in Town", and 3 others in which she is billed under her birth name, Sandra Peabody.  Anyway, the other 3 movies were, "Teenage Hitch-hikers", "Legacy of Satan" and "Massage Parlor Hookers".\n\nAs of 2002 she was reported to be a drama teacher and television producer. With movies like that, can you blame her?


can the relationship be salvaged?\n\nHow can the partner help the husband cope and get beyond this betrayal in hopes of saving the relationship? Understanding the husband’s hurt and frustration is it right for the husband to be verbally abusive?  If the main reason for the online affair was because of lack of communication in the marriage, how can the relationship better itself when the husband is very stubborn?  The overall feeling of this relationship, even before the affair, is that the partner has very low self esteem and has a difficult time expressing emotions.  Is there hope for this relationship to work?

A disinterested person will say that nothing really happened. An online affair is just like chatting and does not mean a thing. But for the parties involved, it is a big blow to the relationship. Not because fo the affair but moreso the lies, and deception involved. Since communication seem to be the main issue, I strongly suggest that they get a marriage councellor to help them out as one party seems to be stubborn to all attempts to reconcile.

i've recently started listening to The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, and Fatboy Slim... I was just wondering if there are any institutes where u can learn to make this type of big-beat music or how or where exactly do u start? and what is the equipment u need to start out making this type of music...thanks

I used to make techno or "electronica" music myself, and pretty much all you need is a wicked fast computer with an outstanding sound card and CD burner.  Then all you need is an imagination, and lot's of free time...


Because I always worry about my CDs being stolen I'd like to make a copies of them and just carry those in my car. That way I can have my originals safe at home and listen to my burned copies as I drive. Is that illegal or against any copyright or piracy laws?

When you buy a CD, you are buying the license to duplicate that material for your own personal use. Of course, you may not sell it or distribute it.

here's another 1__ 4=Q. in a G. which means 4 quarts in a gallon


am looking for a place to talk to someone who is having a rotten time here (like me). Perhaps he or she and I would share other similarities other than our dislike of Texas. I have no friends here by choice, a choice that would change if I could find a decent person to befriend. A girl can hope...

Well Sweety, we're not all bad here. In fact, we're generally pretty friendly. I'm in Houston and I'm not thrilled with San Antonio but don't slam the whole state. We're not all the same. If you need someone to talk to, my email is rilti8@sbcglobal.net. I make a pretty good friend, I think. In fact, you can always find a friend here on Yahoo Answers. Folks on this site are the best no matter where they're from. I love the people here. They're so supportive and kind. You have a few here and there that can be mean and yes, I too can be a bit#h from hell if someone pushes by bit#h-buttons but for the most part, most everyone here are caring and wondering people, even if some of us are native Texans like me. If you need a friend, I'm here for you.


it started with me walkig throgh the woods and carrying my favorite rifle , i could smell the autom in the air and feel the cool nip of the air as well as the warming morning sun.\n I reach a clearing and go figure there is a large deer in the feild ,I slowly creep close carfull not to be heard or seen working ever closer then when i finaly feel im close enough i stand up and with all the strength i can gather i throw a native american type lance at the deer ( i have no idea where it came from or what became of the rifle) the lance stikes the deer his knees buckle and he topples to the ground ,then gets up and bolts for the oposite tree lin my lance still planted firmly. i go after the deer an find him just inside the tree line ,quite pleased i gab my knife and reach to dress the deer , just then the deer turned his bead facing up at me and said "watch the river of stones" and laid down his head. what is the meaning of this

Deers are nice creatures and represent new relationships. However, with this one, you will find that the relationship will soon come to an end, because you will discover the person is a backstabber, just pretending to be a friend. This is confirmed when the deer says to watch the river of stones....rocks and stones are obstacles. Rivers are usually made of flowing water, indicating success and life...but the deer wants you to focus on a river of stones (obstacles) instead of water (having success)...you need to be on the alert to figure out who this person is.......this person either does not like you in general, and is only pretending to be nice, or they are in competition with you -like in a work setting for example- and you are in their way or make them look like less than what they are..they want to see you fail.


I just got the new tool album. Inside is a pair of glasses and artwork. My bf says they are to magnify the pics. I see a 3-D image. I need help proving to this him that it is 3-D. Apparently if he can't see it, it doesnt exsist.

You can see the images without using the glasses! Mayb he needs to do it that way. Check out Adam jones' myspace for more info!


We've been married a couple of month's now.He's the first guy i ever feel for.I try not to cry because I know it's his job.What should I do when I get that sad feeling.

Go out and make friends with other navy wives. Join their clubs and ask them the same question as this one and see how they cope when their husband are overseas


I used to think that black holes would suck you into another galaxy, but from answers on hear and other sources have discovered that you would just be stuck in that black hole and die. So then, how exactly WOULD you enter another galaxy?

Yea, entering a black hole might not be the smartest idea...unless you like being compacted into a space smaller than your fingernail.


What is the approximate diameter of a white dwarf star with the Sun's mass?

White dwarf stars are about the same size as the Earth with the odd property that the more massive ones should be smaller than the less massive ones.  A white dwarf with 1 solar mass would be slighty smaller than the earth, but not significantly so.

i dont wanna keep physical realation with my bf cause im not sure tht he'll going to marry me so how do i known tht he is serious and his behaviour to me is very normal and one day he introduces me to his mom but her reaction was not good and after tht she shout on him wht is this this is not a age lablab thing and frm my point of view i think i should breakup with this guy wht u guys think pls help me and he is not good in studies so pls pls help me cause we never go out for a date he never ask me nothing and he is my 2nd bf he knowns each and everything abt my past .pls help

If your boyfriend is used to having sex with you, and you stop giving him sex, he will probably leave.  Maybe you should try asking him out on dates since he isn't doing it, or just breakup since you don't seem very happy.  Maybe the 3rd time will be the charm.  (It took me 5 tries to find the right one)


Well, first you want to isolate the "x".  So, divide out the left side-this gets you 3x/6 + 4/6 = 2/5.  Take 4/6 from each side, so x/2 = 2/5 - 4/6.  You have to make the fractions have the same denominator, so you get x/2 = 12/30-20/30, or x/2 = -8/30.  Now multiply each side by 2, so you get x = -16/30, or x = -8/15.\nplug it back in to check, so (-24/15 + 60/15)/6 is the same as (36/15)/6, which is the same as 6/15, which reduces to 2/5.  O Ho! We got it!  x DOES equal -8/15..  That was fun-I havent done that kind of math for a long time..

A day uin the life of a LLAMA . I dont know much bout htem  but for real i think they are cool animal. When th eearth revolves around the sun is when they come out~and eat there dinner with dessert. Why do oppl always assume tha tthey are right about them? THEY ARE WRONG. i kneed the grade to pass, so why not just give me a A and  I'll do bettre MR. Gavin. Well, anyway, Llamas are nice animals but can be pissy when in HEat. try it one time. WHy not go for it , then YOU WRITE ONE?HUH?well, llamas are pretty nice anmials and they need love.....\n\nthats it so far

Um...Where to start. Your spelling and grammar needs work. Your thoughts are random and having nothing to do with your subject matter. You eventually didn't do any research on your chosen animal. My advice would be to scrap your paper and start all over again, but this time do some research first. Here this link might help you out.


Do you feel like life is hell? I don't, but I'm sure others do. That is why I think my 'personal' savior Jesus, meant the bible to be my 'personal' spiritual guidebook. And that Armeggedon, will be my own 'personal', physical death. I honestly don't think that the death of a species, in pricipal, is any different than the death of an individual. Only the quantity of death is different, not the quality. A large portion of the OT is about the nation of Israel, and also about the person of Israel. What's the difference?

I think I know what you are saying... it has been my thought too... but with a different final conclusion....life can be hell..we can all go through persecution and our own battles of armagedon. It feel like god has left us....\n\nthe scripture also says he who endures to the end will be saved.. it also says to the church of smyrna (church of martyrs) and the church of philadelphia (weak, suffering but faithful) that they will be kept from the hour of temptation that will come upon all the earth.  The marytyrs will already be dead, and the philadephians will be raptured. Everyone else in the church will have to go through their own tribulation, and be tested, since they avoided it earlier.\n\nSo my viewpoint is that if we are willing to go through tribulation for our faith now, we will be spared from the great tribulation that is to come in the near future. Everyone has to be tested for their faithfulness...\n\nif you are suffering now, your hope is in your heavenly reward to come, and the promise that you will be taken out before the world plunges into total wickedness.


Yawning, like laughter, can be infectious. As to why this should be, there is little hard evidence, although yawning may be an arousal response that arose early in evolution and whose aim is to improve oxygenation of brain tissue and increase alertness, with a view to enhanced survival. In social groupings, the sight of one member yawning might act as a signal to cause other members to yawn - in some way the yawn is a warning that attention is slipping and the group may be at risk…\n\nResearch into the physiology and pathology of yawning appears to be quite limited. However, I have come across a couple of useful references. The first gives a general description of what happens when we yawn:\n\n"Yawning is a response to a wide variety of stimuli, including sleepiness and an awakening from sleep, hunger, boredom, nervousness, and intracranial disease. It is infectious, occurs more frequently in the newborn, and is likely to be more vigorous (especially the accompanying stretch) in early morning than late at night."\n\n"A yawn consists of an expansion of the chest, descent of the diaphragm and larynx, elevation of the ala nasi and soft palate, downward and backward movement of the tongue, abduction of the vocal cords, wide opening of the mouth, contraction of the tensor veli palatini muscle, closing of the eyes, lacrimation, pulling the head backwards, stretching of the upper arms sideward and the lower arms upward, and, less frequently, stretching of the legs. Vasoconstriction in the digits and cardiac acceleration have also been found to accompany the yawn. The whole act occupies 5 to 10 seconds, most of which time is spent in the inspiratory phase."\n\n"Although yawning certainly is an effective way of fully expanding the lungs and increasing the venous return to the heart, its psychic implications are also of great interest. The author finds that merely writing this is a potent stimulus towards yawning, and perhaps the reader is similarly stimulated." (Fenn and Rahn 1964)\n\nA good review of yawning is provided by Askenasy (1989), and the points that follow are derived from this source. Apparently, yawning movements have been observed in fetuses as early as the 15th week after conception, and continue to occur sporadically throughout the remainder of pregnancy. The newborn baby yawns a few minutes after birth. The frequency of yawning gradually diminishes as the baby matures\n\n\nSeveral causes of yawning are discussed in the review:\n\n psychological - this includes boredom, drowsiness, fatigue, separation, imitation, and autosuggestion \n\n hormonal - ACTH and MSH \n\n neurological - various brain pathologies including coma, encephalitis, hypoxia, and neoplasms \n\n psychiatric - for example schizophrenia, psychosis, depression and withdrawal \n\n general pathologies - ear disorders, gastric and biliary disorders, and motion sickness \n\n drug overdose - for example naloxone, valproate, imipramine, clomipramine, seratonin, and pentobarbital \n\n drug withdrawal - from heroin, morphine, lefetamine, methadone, and pentazocin.


Due to pcos and chronic sinusitus i need to follow a low carb, low sugar and dairy free diet.  I don't eat red meat or fish and although i do like all fruit and veg it gets very boring!! im stuck, what can I eat??? ant tips or recipies??? im sick of soup and salad!! help

I really like the South Beach diet. If you don't eat fish or red meat then it does make it more difficult to follow. Do you eat chicken and turkey? That would help out some.\n\nThe South Beach diet has a lot of variety, it has very good recipies, and it is a kind of plan that you can eat the rest of your life. \n\nThere is a diet book and a recipe book which both have lots of good recipes. Check it out at a bookstore or your local library.


If so, what are the true feelings of Iraqi's of the war...what do you think of Bush, of the US, Blair, etc...do you really feel you are getting democracy on your own terms...I feel that the US is doing a good thing, trying to liberate you from oppression, and help the people to take back control of their own country....what do you think, since you are there, and I am not?  Serious answers only please...don't use this as an opportunity to Bush bash.

I would like to know what you guys think too, please answer I'll report anyone who discriminates against you! Everyone be warned no bad thing about people from Iraq that answer.


longer than men on average. Why do you think this is? Is this fair, or should it be changed?

Men were always taught to be the protectors of women. So to protect them they have to work.  With NOW maybe that will change.

Are they going to ban on Iran because of not compliying with INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC AGENCY

They will either comply with the United Nation's orders or they will receive some form of censure.  Invasion is not in the plans as of yet.

you know of the BOOT CAMP right? so i'm using this software as a report. but my teacher is very very low-tech person. he doesn't understand why anyone would want to buy MAC over PCs with windows in them. in short: what's the benefit of MAC over PCs? i explained to him it's prettier, better performace with applications. but he just wants more REASONS. \n\nbut the thing is, BOOT CAMP (make MAC WindowsXP compatible) allows windows to be installed. he doesn't understand why people would want it. if one already prefers MAC over windows, why install windows?

1)Reliability.  Macs have the lowest out of the box failure rate of all companies.\n\n2)Support.  Apple support is far superior to any support from any other company. If  I have a problem with my Mac, I go on the internet, schedule an appointment at the genius bar at the nearest Apple store, Go there and an Apple Genius fixes it right before your very eyes and if I have questions, the questions get answered.  I do not sit on the phone on hold for hours and then end up with a person who speaks English poorly at best.\n\n3) Vista ( the next release of Windows OS) has  many MAC OS X like features because OS X is clearly a better, friendlier operating system.  Oh, BTW, The next version of Mac OS will be out months before Vista, putting MS behind once again.\n\n4)Apple controls it machine configurations, the software is tested on specific hardware.  It is optimized for that hardware.  Windows has a wider variety of hardware to pick from,  and it is called Plug n Pray for a reason and that is it may not really be as easy to install as one thinks it would be.\n\nWindows might be needed because some of the companies don't write for the Mac OS, because the customer base is not as large. I have only found 1 program that I want that is Windows only and I found a suitable substitute.  Many people are concerned about gaming on the Mac, but hey, do you want a good stable reliable computer with great service or a violent game?\n\nMore and more people are buying Apples with a good reason, they are easier to use and more reliable.  You may spend a few dollars more upfront but you get what you pay for.  \n\nIn 2005 Apple won notebook of the year, desktop of the year and server of the year. I think that says it all! Oh and don't forget the iPod!


ok one moment im happy, then when i am all by myself, everything just dies down. my bf had cheated on me & it makes me feel like i failed him, & my family does not help at all! They always put me down. I just want to be happy. My bf is now being faithful so i think, but then no matter wut i cant put that in mind. Sometimes i just wonder why i feel so down. I can't control this feeling!

I am going through the same thing, my boyfriend has not cheated on me, but he makes me misserable, when I look at him I want to throwup. I just take it one day at a time, also exercise is a good way to realease endorphins, and those help make you happy, I probably spend to much time exercising, but at least it is productive. I wish I could give you some better advice, I would say break up with him, but sometimes that is hard to do, if you need someone to talk to let me know, I am always here to help.


i need to know if there are any grants for single mothers back in college. FASFA does not have much info. someone told me there are these certain govt. grants but i can not find the web site. any answers appreciared....thanks!!!

why does it need a circulatory system? \ni know to live... \nand how do gases move into and out of the earthworm?\nby their skin, but how

The gases move in and out by the process of diffusion.\n\nYou're right, the earthworm uses its skin to exchange gases.  As long as the earthworm's skin is moist, gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide can passively diffuse accross its skin.  This is why an earthworm will die if its skin dries out.  Beleive it or not, we also rely on the process of diffusion to exchange gases.  When we breathe air deep into our lungs, gases diffuse accross the thin, moist surfaces of our lung tissues.  Once a gas like oxygen diffuses into the earthworm, the circulatory system carries it (and other substances too, such as nutrients) to cells within the earthworm's body.  The circulatory system also allows the earthworm to transport waste products from the its cells to the outside environment.  For example, carbon dioxide produced by the earthworm's cells is transported through the circulatory system to the skin, where it can then diffuse out into the earthworm's surroundings.


Every since me and my boyfriend got back together for the last time he changed and i don't know what 2 do. It seems like he giving me his life just to be with me and i don;t know if i can take it or not i'm just confused and i don't know what to do about him. I want to be with him but i don't know if i can take it or not.

if it's been a on/off relationship then you should just end it, obviously you two keep breaking up for a reason and probably only getting back together due to loneliness. It will probably happen again.  Get out and move on

You need to take a time out.  You are becoming jaded and if you let that happen you will never be excited by or truely enjoy anything at all.\n\nDo something that is totally outside of your realm.  Got every gadget known to man, shut'em down.  Get out to the country or a park and sit under a tree and just look at the world around you.  I mean really look at things  find those shapes in the clouds  do something to recapture your sense of wonder \n\nWhen you want to just stop doing something, get creative find a new goal to use with it or see just how expert youc an become at it, do something to help you stick to something for more than a short time.\n\nStop and write down a list of all your blessings. You have access to the internet and are well and healthy enough to come here and post should start you off and you search your life for the rest.  When you finish your list you will discover you have much more than you thought and it will help you want to accomplish more which should get a spark going in you again.  Remember nothing difficult is ever easy.  work at it and soon it won't take work.


Does anyone have any experience with scrupulosity (form of OCD where the sufferer has persistent feelings of sinfulness and guilt)?\n\nI was brought up in a Christian family, but now have a feeling of deep rooted guilt and sinfulness.....a belief that I'm a bad person and that I don't deserve forgiveness. As a consequence, I frequently self harm as a punishment for being a "bad person". I don't know whether what I am feeling is "normal" or if it's possibly scrupulosity.\n\nHow do I deal with this? Has anyone experienced anything similar and got over it? \n\nI should probably add that I have no intentions of leaving the Christian church.....I want to be able to accept God's love and forgiveness, but something is stopping me.\n\nOh yeah.......and I also have problems with depression and anxiety which I'm being treated for at the minute. I don't know whether this is all tied in or not.

I have A LOT of experience with this. I do not have OCD but my husband does and his has to do with such thoughts and horrible feelings of guilt. We are also devoted Christians and church members. He gets through most of it with a lot of support from his family and with professional therapy. This is not something that is going to just go away you have to work on it every day. First you have to know that when Jesus died on the cross he didn't say ok I forgive every one but you. You deserve it just as much as anyone else. Even He forgave those who put him on the cross. You need to pray and be thankful of this everyday. Speak to God as your constant companion in everything you do and you feel the difference. He is your Father and loves you as such. Second try to find a counselor you are comfortable with that you can express you thoughts and feelings to so you can stop the cycle of thoughts roaring in your head. It also helps if you can write them down, make sure you write all of them down. You don't ever have to read them again and you can destroy the pages if you like but you should still write down your thoughts. \n\nFinally and this is important, we learned after several years of bad doctors and wrong medications that a heart condition can cause and worsen this problem. Its called mitral valve prolapse and it messes up the autonomic system so that your chemistry is never normal. You should be check out for this as your heart can get worse with time and sometimes a beta blocker used for high blood pressure can help with your thoughts. Until you do get your heart checked out be sure to stay away from any mental health drugs because this condition also alters their effects.\n\nMy husband and I have been dealing with this for 13 years, we have two children and he is making it through it just fine. Feel free to contact me anytime just click on my profile.

how to make 400ml of .20m KI SLUTION FROM SOLID KI AND 400ML OF.20M FE(CL)3 solutin from FE(CL)3 solid

For each, you have to calculate the number of moles needed from the volume and the final molarity:\n\nFor potassium iodine:\nV= 400ml= 0.4L\nM= 0.2M= 0.2 moles/L\n\n#moles KI required = 0.4L * 0.2moles/L= 0.08moles KI\n\nYou can then calculate the mass of KI needed by using the #moles calculated above and the molecular weight of KI\n\nMW of KI= 166 g/mole\n\n# grams KI required = 0.08 moles KI required * 166g/mole\n# grams KI required = 13.28g KI required\n\nYou calculate the answer for FeCl3 in the same manner.  I think you can handle it from here.

Isaiah 51:6\nLift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.\n\nAccording to the Bible, even Heaven will disappear, but since you are guaranteed eternal life, what will happen after heaven is gone?

It says heavenS not Heaven. The Bible probably means the sky and the celestial bodies, not actual Heaven. Isn't Heaven usually capitalized?


i always delete all the cookie files it finds, but theres another section that has stuff in it, it has also found. a quarentine section called a MRU list (30 objects total), while it says these objects do not pose a threat, do i need them, or should i delete them? will it hurt my computer if i do delete them?

MRU's are your "most recently used". It wont hurt to delete them.


I filed for a temp injunction for harrassment, calling my professional friends and defaming my character-I got it April 5 2006. However the respondent never got it. The clerk told me it is up to the police to provide the forwarded address for the respondent to be served. I was informed that the injunction was never served. I was told to contact the police as I did learn of his current address. since the harrassment is still happening. I am questioning doing so as I just learnt that he called another friend and said a warrant was issued for my arrest. What should I do?

Well, is there a good reason that you might have had a warrant issued for your arrest? If it were me, I would call the courthouse and ask them if there is a warrant. \n\nLet me say this first. The way he handled this leads me to think he is lying about the warrant. If it were true, why would he warn you? No, he wouldn't. It is a childish attempt at scaring you. I would add it to your complaint that he is harrasing your friends to harrass you.\n\nAs for serving him with the papers? Do you know where he works? Ask if they will serve him at work.

My 8th grade year is turning out rather crappy- I'm not learning much (except for in French) and there's really nothing I can do about it, seeing as to how the year is almost over. This year has built some really bad habits on me, which I have never had to deal with before. But now I have to rid myself of procrasrination, lack of attention and general uncaringness. The highschool I'm going to is very thorough and the best in many miles, and I know that it will prove to be a huge jump from such an abnormally poor year. How can I get out of this rut to make the transition less traumatic?!

the very fact that you are asking this question means that you are far more prepared than you think. my advice to you, is, if your school is large enough such that you have a choice in your teachers, find out who the best teachers are and take their classes. also, if your high school is decent, they will have some kind of advisory program. get to know your advisor, and your teachers. when they see how motivated you are and how concerned you are with your own progress, they will bend over backwards to help you.

If you were offered the chance of recieving the first offer of an offer of free money to the amount of ten thousand dollars, on the condition that the offer had to be offered only to you and not offered to anybody whom had not recieved the offer except you, would you accept the offer without thinking of refusing the offer to allow the offer to be offered to others? or would you refuse the offer to allow the offer to be offered to those who would not have recieved the offer if the offer had not been offered to you?\n\nThank you please.

Take the offer.  The person who offered you the chance believes that you are the one who should take advantage of the opportunity.  Why wouldn't you?


So the Denver Broncos selected Jay Cutler as the 11th overall pick in the 2006 Draft. I know he's a great QB, but with Jake Plummer and Bradlee Van Pelt, was it really necessary? Unless of course they are looking to trade one of them.

Would have to be "Let's Pretend We're Married" By Prince


I meet guys all the time that say they are looking for someone to share their life with.  Some of these guys have a child that lives with them and they say they are open to a woman with a child.  When I go out with them they show up in a two seat expensive sportscar.  I am all for buying the  nice things in life but it seems strange that a man who is truly looking for a family life would have only a two seat car.  Most of these cars have been practically new  too.  It seems odd that a guy would invest that much money in something that won't come in very useful for a family.  IF he has another car, then that is o.k. but seems a little more like a chick magnet car than anything else. It's kind of like a guy I met that just bought a one bedroom condo.  He talks about wanted a family but where would he put them?  Why don't they just rent until they know what their future situation will be?

Well, I don't mean to be critical but I think you may be thinking too materialistically. Just because a guy has a sports car or a one bedroom condo doesn't mean that he isn't ready to be married. What kind of place do you live in, what kind of car do you drive? I'm sure every guy that is truely ready for marriage is not all set up w/ a mini van and a 3bdrm house. They like us are just waiting for the right person to come along. My advice...get to know the guy before judging him. Good luck:)

The previous answer is untrue. \nAs per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, if you TELL them to cease and desist from calling you, it is usually sufficient. If not, you'll need to put your request in writing, and you're well within your rights to do so. If you owe them money, that's one thing, but they don't have a right to call and harass you. Continued calling after you've advised them to stop constitutes harassment.\nIf you still have problems, even after putting your request in writing, contact the FTC.\nI pray that your financial situation improves, too. :)

my wife was an addict before i met her but she was good at keeping it from me. Now things are out of control and if she can't drink or take pain pills she takes 30+ cold pills. She's killing herself. Even though she's going to NA, she still lies, steals, and abuses over the counters. I've been told that there's nothing i can do, is this true? I've been told that i have to stop taking care of her. This is killing me. How is a man suppose to walk away and leave his wife and hope that she doen't kill herself...which she nearly did twice before...Please help me.

First of all, allow me to share my sympathy for you and your wife. I can tell that you’re a caring person and that’s part of maintaining a stable relationship for any period of time. From what I’ve gathered from your story, it seems that you truly care a whole lot about your wife and what could happen if this problem is not stopped, and you need advice handling the issue. \nSecondly, if you stop caring for her she will only get worse. People that become addicted to drugs and alcohol usually have their reasons behind the substance abuse. Since this all started before you came along, you must talk to her and find out when she started abusing drugs and why. She needs to know that you care and love her. I suggest calling a drug abuse councilor and scheduling an appointment with her to get the help that she needs. Don’t let her start a program and quit, you must encourage her in every way possible and keep an eye out for symptoms of withdraws/cravings from substance so she wont be in a situation where she has no control.\nI’m 18 years old but have had psychical addictions to pills since I was about 12. Amphetamines (adderall) are dangerous and it took a really special friend to show me I was killing myself and letting my family down every day. Finally I got off of everything and remain clean for the last 5 months or so. But back to your wife, I really wish you and her the best of luck and PLEASE feel FREE to contact me with ANY questions, comments, or to ask my opinion! Hope to hear back, please inform me how everything goes!\nwebmaster@techbrian.com

to lose weight on the thighs and stomach and i need abs!!

Not going to happen.  You'll only lose water weight and it can make you sick.  There's no way to lose weight from specific body parts, you have to do cardio to help shed pounds all over and then toning exercises to develop and tighten the muscles in your stomach and legs.  It usually takes about a month to start seeing results.  If you have some event you're going to and want to look sleek, try one of those body shapers.  They are an easy way to reduce bulges in all the wrong places.  It's almost like losing weight in five minutes!


What's with the questions asking if Republicans are evil? \n\nIf one is going to sigle out a group for criticism, it would be nice if they have evidence to support it, or at least could elaborate on the evil with examples, even if only assertions.\n\nAsking near baseless questions rooted in squat embarrasses you, so, well, do not do it. There's my public service message.\n\nProper: Why doesn't X support Z? I think that makes them evil.\n\nImproper, Why does X hate Q? Gosh, they must be evil.\n\nOh, on a related note, no, one does not have to criticise everyone to have the right to criticise one person, entity, etc. There are other issues to do with free speech, obligation to give everyone equal time is not necessarily one of them. One is not by default in support of one thing or more because he only expresses negative opinions about the other. That's inexcusably bad logic. Contending otherwise gives em an ulcer.\n\nDo I really deserve one?\n\nPS. Peace and Love.

It's been going on for as long as humans have been dividing themselves into groups.


I am looking into investing and understand that medium to high risk Mutual Funds have the potential to default, but what would that mean to me, the investor?  Thank you!

Mutual funds do not "default," it is not a term applied to mutual funds.  However, the mutual fund can invest in something, like a bond, where the issuer defaults.  Then you the investor lose money.


I really need to know what I should be shooting for. i was 148 when I started. I have lost 24lbs. but were do I stop? The weight is really dropping and I dont want to get to skinny. I dont think that is attractive. But what is the weight that A DR. would want me to be and be helthy.

Normal weight would be 102-136 pounds depending on body type. \n\nOverweight would be considered greater than 137 pounds at this height for a female.\n\nObesity would be greater than 165 pounds.\n\nThese are BMI values. \n\nYour current weight 148 (-) 24 pounds putting you at 124 pounds is probably JUST RIGHT. If healthy living and balanced exercise keeps you at this weight wonderful! If you gain or lose a few pounds it is not likely significant. Be careful not to obsess about your weight. I'm sure it's great!


It seems like my boss is quite cautious with me. He doesn't seems to trust me.

No, then he would think that there is a reason you are doing so.  Just make it seem like it doest bother you and act natural.  That way if you seem true and not up to something he will be more at ease with you, it might take some time.

Ok here is the deal..... My Gf and me are always fighting over this..... My girlfriend wants to get a job... and to tell u the truth i really dont even want her to... cause I am the first one to admit i am jeleous... but we came to terms and I said ok go ahead and get a job..and there are an abundent amount of jobs here.. well she decided that she wants to get a job thats 1 hour drive just so that I know no one that she works with... does anyone have a thought on this?!?!?!

You should trust your girlfriend and her judgement. Talk to her, find out the reason why she choose this job (it could be that good of a job). or you can just visit her job and get to know the workers.

I am not sure of the correct terminology but I know that both the prosecution and defense have a duty to disclose and share all evidence that they may have so as to give each side an opportunity to have their own experts give their opinion. does the defendant and or his or her spouse have a right to view this evidence as well?  in other words can the defendants spouse optain any and all copies of paperwork that the attorney may have regarding the case?  what is the exact statute and wording?

It's not a statute, it's a court rule of procedure. Discovery takes in interrogatories, requests for documents and depositions. It can include a "view" when the locus of an event cannot be seen from a public way.\n\nJust because the information has been disclosed to the party's lawyer does not mean it can be shared with a spouse of the party, since the attorney must maintain attorney-client privilege even as to a spouse.\n\nIn a criminal case, the prosecution generally has a duty to disclose evidence exculpating the defendant. The defendant, except in MA and a couple of other states and federal courts, there is no general duty on the defense to share information with the prosecutor.\n\nA defense lawyer will usually share any disclosures with the defendant. But the lawyer will tell the defendant not to disclose it to anyone else if it will affect the case when it gets out.


if you love the air force ,what made you join and if you are in it how is it like?

My Father retired from the Air Force, it provide he and the family opportunities that we may never have had. We got to live all over the world.  My Husband is Special Forces, Air Force.. He left after 2 years, but regrets not staying in longer.\n\nI think it takes a strong person, mentally and physically to give 4 years of their life to their country. Make sure you are doing this for you and not what others think you should do.


My house use 240 AC volt, 2 lines of 120 volt. I'm take a read of 15 amp in on line and 10 amps in the other line. measure 1 hour constant. How many KWH use my house in 1 hour? \nRADIOFAN

You cannot determine KWH usage with AC in that way.\n\nIf you looked at the voltage, it would be a sinewave.\nIf you could look at the current, it might also be a sinewave, but it is very unlikely that it would be in perfect phase with the voltage.\n\nOnly if the current and the voltage are in perfect phase with each other can you determine watts by multiplying current times voltage.\n\nThe arithmetic you are suggesting will work only when the power factor is exactly 1.00, which could be close to correct if the load is all incandescent lighting, but will not be correct if the load is inductive, such as electric motors, or capacitive.\n\nTo measure power usage, you will need a watt-hour meter, similar to what the utility companies provide.\n\nThe following source (found via Google) explains it:\n\n"A common misconception is that power is simply the product of voltage times current, implying that any ammeter can be used to determine power usage. This is only true in  a few special cases."


Hi, I am trying to find some online courses that I can take to supplement my schedule at school. I have completed my high school's math curriculum this year, as a junior. My school does not offer Economics AP courses, and I am very interested in the subject. I am looking for decent online courses on Multivariable Calculus and Economics(Macro/Micro, at an AP level) for independent study. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance! \n\nI live in NY, attending courses at a local college/university would be too inconvienent with traveltime and whatnot. I have adminstrative approval for the MultiVariable course, but I have to find it myself. I was thinking along the lines of courses offered by prestigious universities, and was wondering which offered them, and how helpful they were

Hi,\n\nFor math, try these two:\n\n http://www-epgy.stanford.edu/courses/math/\n\nhttp://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/index.htm\n\nFor economics, try this under VEE,although I don't know if it is geared for giving college credit:\n\nhttp://www.neas-seminars.com/Misc/

Guess somewhere between 21-22 wons make a rupee. Though I'm not sure.\n\nHey.. found this site... might be of use:\nhttp://coinmill.com/INR_KRW.html


Currently in an undergrad program at one university and have a goal to become a principal... should I teach for a few years first? or jump right in?

isn't there anyone at your university with whom you can discuss your options??


A. real, inverted, and larger than the object\nB. real, inverted, and smaller than the object\nC. virtual, upright, and larger than the object\nD. virtual, upright, and smaller than the object

Hi,\nThe answer is C.\n\nYou could make a ray-diagram and see for yourself...


it has the words 'can you hear my heart calling'

I'm not sure, but what you can do it go to any search engine and put it as much of the lyrics as you know and search it. It should give you some results. If that doesn't work, put it all in quotes. Good Luck!


He put the belt around my life\ni heard the buckle snap\nand turned away, imperial\nmy lifetime, folding up\ndeliberate, as a duke would do\na kingdom's title deed\nhenceforth, a dedicated sort\na member of the cloud\n\nyet not too far to come at call\nand do the little tiols\nthat make the Circuit of the Rest\nand deal occassional smiles\nto lives that stoop to notice mine\nand kindly ask it in\nwhose inviation, know you not\nfor whom I must decline?

Wow, I love searching for answers on questions like this- this is a tough one!\n\nThis was the ONLY thing I could find, a comment someone wrote...\n\nIt could be a man controlling her life--her father, Wadsworth, Higginson?--but it makes more sense to identify the "He" and "Whom" with god. The belt is some kind of sign of office, the one who puts the belt on the speaker is a "Duke" with "imperial" stature. Once belted, the speaker becomes a member of the elite and ethereal "Cloud." (If you wanted to you could read this a some kind of kinky bondage thing--The Story of E--but that would be inappropriate and less than tactful.)\n\nWith the second eight lines in place, I see the poem as a wry and witty, even slightly rueful, comment on ED's famous reclusivity. There might not have been a train she wouldn't take as it lapped up its miles, but in fact she did take very few, and she did care where they were going!\n\nAnd of course, like most of ED's other poems, you can sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Amazing Grace," or any other song in psalm meter.\n\nCiarog from United States \n\n\nAlternatively, I guess maybe background on Dickinson's usual themes might help?\n\nEmily Dickinson is such a unique poet that it is very difficult to place her in any single tradition—she seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. Her poetic form, with her customary four-line stanzas, ABCB rhyme schemes, and alternations in iambic meter between tetrameter and trimeter, is derived from Psalms and Protestant hymns, but Dickinson so thoroughly appropriates the forms—interposing her own long, rhythmic dashes designed to interrupt the meter and indicate short pauses—that the resemblance seems quite faint. Her subjects are often parts of the topography of her own psyche; she explores her own feelings with painstaking and often painful honesty but never loses sight of their universal poetic application; one of her greatest techniques is to write about the particulars of her own emotions in a kind of universal homiletic or adage-like tone (“After great pain, a formal feeling comes”) that seems to describe the reader’s mind as well as it does the poet’s. Dickinson is not a “philosophical poet”; unlike Wordsworth or Yeats, she makes no effort to organize her thoughts and feelings into a coherent, unified worldview. Rather, her poems simply record thoughts and feelings experienced naturally over the course of a lifetime devoted to reflection and creativity: the powerful mind represented in these records is by turns astonishing, compelling, moving, and thought-provoking, and emerges much more vividly than if Dickinson had orchestrated her work according to a preconceived philosophical system.\nOf course, Dickinson’s greatest achievement as a poet of inwardness is her brilliant, diamond-hard language. Dickinson often writes aphoristically, meaning that she compresses a great deal of meaning into a very small number of words. This can make her poems hard to understand on a first reading, but when their meaning does unveil itself, it often explodes in the mind all at once, and lines that seemed baffling can become intensely and unforgettably clear. Other poems—many of her most famous, in fact—are much less difficult to understand, and they exhibit her extraordinary powers of observation and description. Dickinson’s imagination can lead her into very peculiar territory—some of her most famous poems are bizarre death-fantasies and astonishing metaphorical conceits—but she is equally deft in her navigation of the domestic, writing beautiful nature-lyrics alongside her wild flights of imagination and often combining the two with great facility.\n\nTo be perfectly honest, I think your best bet is to borrow a book from the library with criticism...\nAll the best, hope that helps somehow!

In history, great empires have begun their ends when foreign forces swept in and overtook them, the population grew too high, the poverty grew too high, disease spread, and/or the rulers were weak.  America is being flooded with illegal immigrants, the population and poverty are growing too high and there isn't enough money to go to the things that need it, and we have a tyrannical leader.  We are in a time of chaos right now.  Could America be beginning its decline?

America is currently facing many problems, however a drastic decline in it's power is doubtful.  According to most rankings that take into account all aspects of a nation, The usa is by far the most powerful, and is more powerful than the second and third most powerful countries combined.  However, if our country continues on its current trend yes there will be problems.  Our currency is depreciating, and the gap between rich and poor is growing under the current administration, and there is also talk of starting our third war in this regime.  The only reason why i think that America won't decline though is because the Republicans will have nobody else to blame after this term, and once they are voted out these problems will be addressed.  The republicans control everything now and have lost their scapegoat.  The only people they have to blame our themselves.


Anyone know the World Tae Kwon Do Federations requirements for someone to open and instruct  their own TKD school?

The requirments for statring a martial ats school vary depending on the association.  I used to belong to the WTF and understand the rules have changed a bit from the early days.  It is my opinion that you should be a seasoned black belt to open and opperate a school.  A 1st degree black belt to me is nothing more than a master of the basics.  A 3rd degree black belt would be more of a journeyman.\n\nI have been practicing martial arts since 1967 and have discovered that there is way more to rank and time in rank when it comes to running a school and teaching students.  Some students are natural teachers I have found.  There is a big difference between being a good competitor, practitioner, coach, judge, or official and that of being a teacher.  Teaching is a totaly different animal.  You need to be able see a students strenghts and weaknesses and build on each individual.  You need to earn the respect of each student every day.\n\nThe things to remember outside of rank when opperating a school include but are not limited to demographics, your business capabilities, your willingness to continue to learn and evolve, your maturity as a student yourself, business strategy, program direction, time restraints, ect.\n\nOne last word of advise...don't quit your day job any time soon.


In your second step, you create a -1 for each and every +1.  Then, in the final step, you miscount, leaving off a -1.  That's the nature of working with infinity.  You could just as easily rearrange the numbers as \n\n= 2 - 2 + 2 - 2...\nor\n= 157 - 157 + 157 - 157...\n\nThus "proving" that every number equals every other number.  Infinity resists such manipulations.


IS truth absolute?  Meaning it cannot be changed.\nor is it relative?  Meaning it depends on the perception of others.

What Is the Truth?\nAt John 17:3 Jesus is praying to his father, and He says "you are the only true God."  He spoke the truth.\n\nSo let us leave the murky waters of relativism and examine briefly what the Bible describes as the pure waters of truth. (John 4:14; Revelation 22:17) In the Bible, “truth” is not at all like the abstract, intangible concept over which philosophers debate.\n\nWhen Jesus said that his whole purpose in life was to talk about the truth, he was speaking of something that faithful Jews had valued for centuries. In their sacred writings, the Jews had long read of “truth” as something concrete, not theoretical. In the Bible, “truth” translates the Hebrew word “’emeth′,” which signifies that which is firm, solid, and, perhaps most of all, reliable.\n\nMANY religious organizations claim to have the truth, and they offer it eagerly to others. However, between them they offer a dizzying profusion of “truths.” Is this just another evidence that all truths are relative, that there are no absolute truths? No.\n\nIn his book The Art of Thinking, Professor V. R. Ruggiero expresses his surprise that even intelligent people sometimes say that truth is relative. He reasons: “If everyone makes his own truth, then no person’s idea can be better than another’s. All must be equal. And if all ideas are equal, what is the point in researching any subject? Why dig in the ground for answers to archeological questions? Why probe the causes of tension in the Middle East? Why search for a cancer cure? Why explore the galaxy? These activities make sense only if some answers are better than others, if truth is something separate from, and unaffected by, individual perspectives.”\n\nIn fact, no one really believes that there is no truth. When it comes to physical realities, such as medicine, mathematics, or the laws of physics, even the staunchest relativist will believe that some things are true. Who of us would dare to ride in an airplane if we did not think that the laws of aerodynamics were absolute truths? Verifiable truths do exist; they surround us, and we stake our lives on them.\n\nTruth is Truth, you cannot change it

How do I ask for it back, nicely. I havnt seen her in like 2 months, and I dont want to hang out with her just for my sweater....\n\nI know it sounds lame, but someone help!

You can do one of 2 things A. you can write it off as a lesson learned.OR,(B)You could tell her that you're glad she likes it so much she has saved you the cost of buying her a birthday or christmas present,whichever comes first,that ought to get it back.


who's your fav celeb and why and what's your fav song and movie???

Johnny Depp is my all time favorite because he's VERY hot, and he's extremely talented. Song, dunno. Movie, Son-in-Law. (And any Johnny Depp movie!)


So here is the deal my daughter is 13 wants a job\nI know all the Retarted stuff saying 14 or older please help me here she can get a job she wants so much I'm telling her to do work and I'll pay her but she does it half but! So i don't pay her But she does everything else for people perfact! What Should SHE DO PLEASEE HELPP ME I know like dog walking and cutting lawns are options but I need More opitons!\nShould i make up a flyer with all that stuff asking if anyone wants help with stuff like that?

Ok, first off, kids are with their parents all the time, and do things all the time, and get tired of it. Kids who really like to work really like to spread their help around, and not just towads the parents. IF you feel she is responsable enough, sure, let her have a job. BUT! She needs to do it like everyeone else. She needs to start at the bottom, and work her way up. Just because she is a kid, does not mean she gets any special treatment. Now if she is not responsable enough, she probably shouldn't have a responsability like that. Keep her to doing things you are most comfortable with. I mean, who is the parent, and who is the child? It is all up to you!


We agreed to breakup cos he don't want to leave his wife for his children's sake.  i just want to know how to forget him cos he's been in my mind all the time and it is torturing me.  i just can't stop loving him and don't have the mood to go out or get to know any other guys.

Only time and personal effort will make it better.  You truely love someone, it's forever, and your mind will from time to time come back to him, but if u truely love him, u are doing the right thing by stopping and staying away.  Don't break up a family or hurt a child.  If it's meant to be it will happen one day.


The first pet i can remember I was 4 years old,and I had a little brown,Chihuahua,named bullet.

a beagle dog, her name was Gorgeous cuz she shook her butt when she walked


See this guy that i like talks about well...what he wants to "do" with me. He sweat talks me all the time and it makes me happy, but then other times i dont know if he is lieing to me about having a girlfriend and other things.

if he's only talking about sexual stuff, avoid him!! He's not worth it; he'll just get what he wants and then leave you hurt.


Tim Duncan\nA foot injury scaled back his numbers, but they're still impressive enough (18.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 3.2 assists). Even more imposing than his individual stats is Duncan's impact on the league's most consistent program at both ends of the court. The team-first hierarchy that may bring a fourth championship to San Antonio works in all ways -- on the court and in the locker room -- because of him.


My Video Cassette tape is used in a Sony or Canon Video Camera.. I had a video which was accidentally overwritten by another video... Is it possible to recover the previous video even if its overwritten already.. My tape is a HIgh 8 Video casette tape

Nope.  That's just the way it is.\n\nKick yourself in the behind and tell yourself to NOT do it again!


do we fear rejection is it that the phone takes place of the actually person that we want to talk to, are we becomming to shy to just talk to one another, now i really like this girl and all we do is text one another back and forth. i am so lost, i never really have promblems with girls but this one i just dont know what to do, i'm lost and i just dont know what to say to her because i'm the kind of person who has to be face to face with people, and it seems like she just wants to talk through the phone at me instead of to me, maybe i should just let this one go. but i really like her she is a great girl and i'm sure she likes me or else she wouldnt talk to me right????

well i text people a lot because i'm either too shy to talk, I don't want to risk the empt silences, or I just want to say what i need to say and not have a whole conversation about it- just say HI.


I want know about the various fields in Microbiology and their requirment.

It depends on what university you go to and what they offer. You will want to consider Cell Physiology, Molecular biology, Histology, Embryology, Virology, Immunology, Parasitology, and much more. Maybe.

Is it true, the officer using a radar (or laser) gun to catch speeders MUST be outside the vehicle?

NOPE!!!! All states allow officers to operate their radar or laser gun from inside or outside their car


My friend can't see the internet pages but can download music-how can he fix it? It says something about a DSN!

Download Foxfire. .. it is a free browser . . . if he runs Internet Explorer, they have been sending bad code lines that disable Win 98, Win 98se, and ME explorer programs.  Just do a search for FOXFIRE browser and the download is free.


is it wrong to date someone older or younger then you?

Well, If you feel very strongly about the person and your feelings are real and true to your heart...than just remember that love is a feeling and not a number...and follow your heart...


what was the titanic made of, to allow the ship to be called unsinkable?

when the Titanic was designed, it was made to stay afloat if the first four water tight bulkheads were full, thus making it seem "unsinkable." However, when it hit a 'berg on that night, it filled up 5+ watertight bulkheads, thus not being able to stay afloat. If the captain hit it head on, the bow would of crumbled, but the time for it to sink would take a lot longer, more lives would be saved, etc. And no matter what your ship is made of, it's not unsinkable. It was made of iron and steel, like many ships, but that does not make any ship unsinkable. The builders deemed in "unsinkable" because of the pride they took in it in the early technology of the early 20th century, and many believed it would be the best and the fastest.\n\nNew evidence shows that it also was struck from the bottom of the ship from the iceberg, thus allowing water to rise up faster than it was coming in.\n\nThe loss of life was due to the shortage of lifeboats, which was 8 starboard, 8 port, and then 4 collapsable boats (think little rafts) for a grand total of 20. It was planned to have 64 followed by 32 then 16 with 4 more was the final solution.


What misconceptions do you know about the mormons.  or anything weird you think is true about them.

My brother is a Mormon (LDS). I've heard the strangest things about how they sacrifice animals and they have more than one wife (not true of LDS - only of fundamentalist Mormon denominations, which are few and far between), and they are so annoying and this and that on and on. When I hear people talk about them, I usually just listen and say, "Really?" every now and then until they are finished. Then I tell them that my brother is a Mormon. That usually produces a Kodak moment :) \n\nI don't agree with the Book of Mormon (see link for good reasons why) or some of the doctrines, but neither have I ever met a Mormon that I didn't like. Even Trey Parker and Matt Stone were man enough to portray them as really nice and loving people.

I know that I can easily search the web for public background sites that would charge me to find out pretty much anything on me. I'm basically curious as to what information does a potential employer find on me when they do those famous background checks?

I used to work closely with background check agencies.  if it's for basic employment, they look into your education, previous employers, dmv, convictions.  as for emoployers they can only find what you list, if you choose to omit a employer they can't find it.  the only things you can't omit is felonies and misdemeeners and dmv.  they can also see all previous addresses you've lived in.  credit check is rarelly done, but if the employer is interested in that, then they can do that too.  in certain states, by law, you are to receive a copy of your background check after it's been completed by the agency who ran it, for free.  I know california is one of those states.\n\ngood luck :)


http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/wwii/gerdec41.htm\n\nJapan had nothing to do with Germany, they never fought together? Why could the U.S. wage war with Germany when their were lots of dictators in the World like Stalin (killed over 20 million)....something for you anti-iraq wackos can chew on.

1. Germany was closely allied with Japan. They coordinated all sorts of things.\n\n2. Immediately after we declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on us.\n\n3. America had to be dragged kicking and screaming into World War II. We attacked Japan because they attacked us. We attacked Germany because they declared war on us. We did not pre-emptively strike anyone, and we did not fight against Stalin because he did not attack us or declare war against us.\n\n4. By "anti-Iraq wackos" I assume you mean Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest, since they manufactured a false reason to go to war with Iraq, and abused the American military as a political tool to slaughter thousands upon thousands of Iraqis.


And please, elaborate why you prefer that verse and how it affects your life.\n\nThank you, Happy Easter and God Bless.

when Jesus Christ said to the Father "forgive them,for they don't know what they are doing"\nthis only shows that Christ loves the Father so much that He obeyed until death,to save sinners like me.and His resurrection has opened Heaven for us.isn't it wonderful.\nHappy Easter! Christ is risen!


i don't have any anti-virus program installed in my PC, i once tried ZoneAlarm but it didn't work quite as good as others have said. what kind of anti-virus program do you use? which one is the best?

I tried alot of Security apps, maybe all of them.\n\nThis is my security System Now.\n\nAnti-Virus: NOD32\n\nAdaware: Lavasoft Adaware\n\nFirewall: Windows XP SP2 Firewall\n\nsomething Extra: Anti-Trojan Shield 2\n\nwith this collection you'll be protected 90%, there is no 100%.\n\nmy opinions on other Security Apps:\n\nNorton, Mcafee:\nThey are a rescourse hogs, (Makes the PC very slow), and they don't catch half the "bad" things.\n\nAVG Anti-Virus:\nVery Good, does the Job, But NOD32 proved to be better.\n\nKaspersky:\nits a very good anti, but it does make the PC slower, not like Norton and mcafee, but still.\n\nPanda Anti-Virus:\nThis is The Worse Anti made ever, Don't even think about getting it.\n\nTrend Micro:\nit is a very good one too, but still, its the ranked with me as the last of the good ones.\n\nNote: I know that my collection that I use are alot, but believe me, they are the best, and they don't effect the PC's speed in anyway.


I can't connect to internet through LAN. Usually I use wireless card for the connection (broadband), but this time I use LAN cable, directly connected to the broadband router. The com can detect the Local Area Connection there, and the status also connected, but somehow I can't connect to the internet. The problem is not in the explorer i think, coz i use MSN Messenger, and can't sign in as well. I can't it out, and I've tried every possible way.\nAnyone can please help me? thanks

Check your IP settings. click start, run, control panel and select network connections.  right click on  local area connection.  find internet protocol in the list and double click it.  you should be using DHCP (Obtain IP address Automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically)


And if cheerleading is a sport then cheerleaders are athletes am I not correct?

Yes, cheerleading is definately a sport. I'm a cheerleader at my local high school and I have to say it's harder than it looks. In any other sport you drop the ball and thats all you lose, in cheerleading you drop a girl that could be a life lost or a bone broken. We do alot of things that require us to be in perfect condition and on our toes at all times. I really get defensive about this because I know how hard it is, I know how hard we work and I don't appreciate people saying "we're just girls in skirts rah-rahing around showing our underwear". Cheerleading takes alot of hard work, determination, long practices, and teamwork. So, before you judge us or judge our "SPORT" get to know us and try cheerleading and see how well you do it.\n\nBy the way "Bring it On" was the worst movie ever made! Cheerleaders don't act like that.


I'm saludictorian at a disadvantage school, not only that, but I have also been selected as a finalist for the Bill Gates Millenium scholarship which is very competitive. I applied to some scholarship at UCB because I was confident about my admissions. Berkeley was my first choice and I feel as if my application was overlooked.

List all your outstanding performance from the past, if not included in your original application. Tell them what a great student you will be and what a great loss the student body will suffer if they miss you.\nOther than that, there are still a lot of good schools around(Standford is nearby.)


Johnny Depp and this other guy were co-owners of a club and, Johnny was going to be taken to court for fraud. But, before anything could happen, the guy disappeared.

Like many celebrities, Depp has had several run-ins with the law over the course of his career. His first arrest was in Vancouver for a late-night altercation in a hotel lobby. He was accused of selling drugs at his club The Viper Room, after actor River Phoenix died in front of the club from a drug overdose in 1993 though the owners were not involved in the tragic death. In 1994, Depp was arrested and questioned by police for allegedly causing serious damage to a New York hotel suite.
