I've seen a pretty decent replica made of rolled poster board (for the bottom) with an aluminum bowl taped to the top.  Wrap the whole thing with aluminum foil, and ta da, a replica Stanley Cup.


our area is one of the ones that had their phones tapped, internet monitored and recods of phone calls passed in to the governmant.\nthere are a group of poeple starting a class A action suit against the company.\nhus says all should br compensated for the time their lines were bugged illegaly,\ni say make company return the bonuses it got per line it turned over, that wasn't involved in terrorism. then put in escrow while litigation goes on, them divide equally between participants of suit , evenly as due the amount of time each was taped.\n\nwhat do you think?

You have about as much of a chance suing the government over that (or for anything) as Bin Laden does walking safely down the streets of Manhattan.


I have to do a movies paper for school. The movie is Chicken Little. I need to know: did the movie havea large promotion before its release? What have you seen or heard about the movie? What magazines have been published that ties in with movie?  What nonmedia products -food,beverages,cars,etc.- included the movie in their premotions or are on their packaging? How much promotion and advertising for the movie did you notice? (TV ads, movie trailers,stars on talk shows?) Its not a hard question but any help would be apprieciated.

the first time i noticed any promotion for the film was on television, usuaally from 3 o clock onwards (kids and primetime). The previews at the cinema before another movie is also a good method of advertising and im pretty sure a lot of the theatres in my area did special "chicken Little" meal deals with a free toy to attractattention.\nhope i helped.


Do they not read the news?  Do they not care about freedom?  How can anyone not see how damaging the hypocracy of the Bush administration is?\n\nAnd for those of you who will respond with personal attacks rather than valid substance, no I am not a liberal or a Democrat.   I am a conservative independant and former member of the GOP.

A lot of people don't watch the news... a lot of people are pissed when the President's comments come on during their tv show... \n\nthe majority of these people clearly don't care...they just think it's their duty to vote and they don't want to vote for a "flip-flopper"... and that's about as far into the issues that they go... name calling works with these people and it's a major reason that Bush won in the first place...\n\nYou only have two reasons that you support Bush right now if you ask me... ignorance or you're wealthy... if you voted for him based on morals and you still support him.. hahaha... you haven't been paying attention\n\nYou also have a small contingent that only listens to conservative news stations that are clearly slanted... apparently they believe what they hear is the truth, as long as it supports what they think? It's really sad if you ask me... there is 10 times more opinion in fox news stories and interviews than any other station out there... it's a joke...


whats better orthoclear or invisalign?\nwhich is faster to do its job?\nwhat would you preffer?

Invisalign, definitely!  We do it in my office and I love seeing the results and the happy faces of my patients.


If there was an online service that allowed you to opt-out of all unwanted postal mailings, how much would you be willing to pay for that service? There are ways consumers can do that on their own, but it requires hours of research, letter writing, calling and tracking results. What would it be worth to automate the process and guarantee resutls?

$10, or not even. I just sherd my junk, and send a letter telling them not to send ads to me ever again


Why does the T-1000 wear a helmet when he rides a motorcycle? I mean he's the T-1000, a powerful robot cyborg that can get shot, stabbed blown up ect..,and still he keeps coming back! Surely he isnt concerned about falling off his motorcycle and getting a head injury?

it is a combination of the storyline( he copied that guy with the helmet) and high action sequences that the actor/stuntman wanted to wear a helmet for, sure in the movie he is a super duper machine but in real life he is just human.


i've tried so many things but it just fails to get the choristers interested.they can't leave because they have been ordained

Remind them,  they are singing for God, and they should \ndo their best.


I'm a nerd and the guy I like already likes someone else... I think I'm attractive and people saw that I am , the problem is ....how do I get him to think that?

You don't want a guy who is just interested in your looks, you want one that likes your personality. Make sure this guy knows what you are like. Chat to him, find any excuse. Become friends with him and see where it goes. If my mates are anything to go by, looks are not a great thing to have as my mates are sometimes ever so slightly shallow :-/


I don't really know.....I'm not ugly,occasional acne(not much,she does too) , We flirt, we talk, we laugh, we make fun of eachother, she has asked everyone out in the school once as a joke, and once with just me in front of people as just a joke........Nobody in the school likes her cuz she is small, but she is soooooo HOT, she is nice, she can sing,  I will probably be made fun of if I ask her out and she says no, if she says yes, they will still make fun of me, but i don't care....how should I respond to the haters, and does this girl like me, and should i make a move!

hahahaha it sounds like she is adorable\nand i think you should go for it\nshe sounds like the type of lady who would just play it off if you asked her out \nand she didnt want to go out with you\nbut if she does want to go out with you\nmake it special\nand make sure she wants to go out with you\nand to all the haters...\njust ignore them\nif they cant stand that you like her\nthen fine\nthey can just go jump off a cliff\nlol\n\n\n\ndoes that help?


Pele is a Hawiian Goddess. My friend is interested in becoming a Priestess of that Goddess, and I wanted to know how and where this could be done.

from the research i have briefly done, it doesn't look like there has been continuous line of priestess since the mass christian conversion.\n\nYour friend could become an ordained minister with a group like the ULC or CSP (or the dozens of others) and then have her religious beliefs be focused on Pele.  Grant it, it will prob. be a grossly redefined version of Pele.\n\nWhether or not she would be recognized as a TRUE priestess of pele or not is debatable. But LEGALLY she would recognized as a minister.


colopolscopy wha t could it be?? is it something bad that cannot be cured or anything??

A colposcopy is a procedure that is done the doctor's office when someone has a Pap Smear that comes back abnormal.  A Pap Smear is a screening test and a diagnosis cannot be made from it.  A colposcopy enables the doctor to see abnormal cells on your cervix and a biopsy can be done if any are found.  The biopsy is then sent to a lab and lets the doctor know what course of action to take and possibly be given a diagnosis.  \n\nA UTI is an infection of the urinary tract.  Only antibiotics can take care of it, and no further treatment is needed.  I hope this clears a few things up for you.


hint: the work of Watzlawick was a great inspiration for him

Enid Hoffman wrote several books on psychic skills, palmistry and, famously, "Huna", described as "an introduction to the age-old magic knowledge and the practices of the Kahunas of Hawaii".\n\nPaul Watzlawick wrote a number of books on Communication Theory and Family Therapy.


We all try to make sure our friends don't drive drunk but what if someone slips under your radar,gets drunk and drives home?

Legally - yes, if you are serving the alcohol you can be held liable for your guests action while he/she is intoxicated. For example, if he/she wrecks on his way home from your house while trashed, the victim of the wreck can actually sue you as well as the drunken driver


My husband has diabetes.  We do not have health insurance.  He is eligible to get some help from the VA as he was in the Navy, but so far he just hasn't gone.  It is now affecting our sex life and has for over 2 years.  The last time that I know he checked his blood sugar it was well over 400.  If I can't get him to eat better ( such as cutting down on his carb portions that turn into sugar), is it too wrong of me to take out a life insurance policy on him.  He is 43.  We've been married for just 5 years.  I need considerate and helpful advice.

Please contact the American Diabetes Foundation-THey can probably help you if not treated diabetes leads to all types of things besides death-blindness,kidney failure,neuropathy,amputation,heart attack-This is not something to ignore and there are no quick fixes-it takes discipline.meds,diet and exercise. You will not be able to get life insurance on an uncontrolled diabetic


even if you aren't...what good do you really think restraining orders do where you are??

omg, i know i watched it today i couldnt even stare at her for like 5sec, it was so bad n i felt so depressed!! i dont think restraining orders are any good b/c no one is there to enforce it or is there to keep an eye to see if he's coming to the victims home, so its ineffective!!

Sickle Cell Softball Tournament in Shrevport, La.


On Friday, April 28, my wife and I spent our wedding anniversary in Chicago, where we attended our first Cubbies game at Wrigley Field.  When I told the gentleman sitting next to me this, he showed us great hospitality by buying for us all of our game refreshments.  I have gone to alot of baseball games in my day, but never have I had such a great time as I did here.  Other fans were very hospitable to us as well, and the whole Wrigley experience was like one big family renuion gathering.  We were very impressed, and plan on returning before the summer is over.  Is this typical for Wrigley Field toward first time visitors?

For the people who go to Cub games, and watch and follow the Cubs. "Welcome to the friendly confines" can be read over either dugout. Our fans may have NEVER seen a championship(who has it was in 1908), and the bleachers are mostly drunk, but our fans are 1st class. As long as your not wearing a Sox, Cardinals, or Astros Jersey you should be able to fully  enjoy the game. Congrats on your engament, and I hope you continue to show support for the Cubs, and Wrigley.


I THINK MY BOYFREIND IS GOING TO ASK ME TO MARRY HIM, BUT I STILL THINK ABOUT A GUY I DATED LAST SUMMER, THAT HAD TO END BECAUSE OF HIS CAREER AS BEING A BASEBALL PLAYER, HE STILL CALLS ME EVERY SO OFTEN TO LET ME KNOW HE STILL THINKS ABOUT ME. I STILL HAVE FEELINGS FOR HIM AND STILL THINK ABOUT HIM. SO I FILL LIKE I'M NOT BEING FAIR TO MY BOYFREIND NOW, BECAUSE ITS LIKE THE OTHER GUY STILL HAS A PIECE OF MY HEART. BUT THE OTHER GUY HAS KNOW CLUE THAT I FILL THIS WAY BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER TOLD HIM HOW I FELT ABOUT HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE.\nPLEASE HELP!

This is a really hard situation.  You need to talk to the other guy and tell him how you feel.  Lay it all out on the line, so that you will know once and for all if there is a possibility of something between you.  You need to resolve this before you agree to marry your current boyfriend. Talk to the other guy first and go from there.  If you want to talk to me, send me a message on yahoo messenger and I could help you better than on here. I wish you the best of luck with whatever happens.


I'm currently studying at University College London(UCL), and I'm just wondering is an average of A-(equivalent to US schools) good for transferring? What's the approx. GPA of that?

3.67 is an A- average and is considered excellent.  When doing a GPA it follows the following format, typically:\n\nA is 4\nB is 3\nC is 2\nD is 1\nF is 0\n\nTo find a minus average, in your case A-, take the points and subtract .33 (1/3), which means for you we do 4-.33=3.67.  To find a plus it's the grade plus .33 (1/3).  So a B+ GPA translates to 3+.33=3.33

I've heard it takes six regular-sized football teams to play simultaneously on a hexagonal field.  The layout is like chinese checkers.  At the hike there are 66 players on the field vieing for one ball. So far it is not sanctioned by any of the conventional oversight Leagues because of the newness and concerns for injuries.

We played it at Jack Crap's house dont you remember?

iv a 60w bulb n a 100w bulb.first i connect them in series ..which wil b brighter n y? when it is connected in parallel which will b more bright n y ?

That's exactly backwards. \n\nBoth bulbs are rated at 120V.  Thus, in order to use more power, the 100W bulb must draw more current, which means it has a smaller resistance than the 60W bulb.  \n\nThus, in series, with the same current, the 60W bulb will be brighter as it will be consuming more power (I*R).  \n\nIn parallel, they will have the same voltage, and since they are rated for the same voltage, the 100W bulb will be brighter (use more power).  \n\nIt's easy to verify.  All your light bulbs in your house are in parallel.  Which one is brighter, the 100W bulb or the 60W bulb?


i have liked him for a while but then i got over him now im back on to it , i really like him but i dont know if he likes me he can't really talk to me our conversations are really small but i always catch him lookin at me , (because im looking at him) he goes red and has a hufe smile when he sees me or says hi , his pearents love me and alway say ohh come and talk to him , my pearents think he likes me but i dont know when i see him or even hear his name even when his name pops up on messenger i get butterflies and ni spend my days think bout him .... i dontk now if he likes me or hates me what do i do

I would say he likes you quite a bit, which is why he has problems holding a conversation with you. And if his parents ask you to comes over... that means he talks to his parents and lets them know that he likes you which is really the reason why they ask you to come over. You got'em. Suggestion on the conversation, if he is shy maybe you could write him a note or a text message if you both have cell phones (remember standard text message fees may apply).


I need to make a database of customers to call them first to ask them if they are interested and if so, to make an appointment for demonstrations

Do you have any free samples to offer?  Rather than try to sell my products, I give them away; let them selll themselves.  For instance, my energy drink, A.C.T., I give away free samples daily.  About 80% of the people come back and ask for more.\n\nThe reason I chose the energy drink is because it works in about 5-10 minutes.  Other products take much longer for the customer to see, or feel results.  Not with A.C.T. - I have a new customer in about ten minutes.\n\nI've built a very lucrative business this way.

That might seem silly...when my ISP connects to Internet ... what does it connect to? is there some sort of international network(always on) that it connects to or what? this stuff is driving me crazy ... please don't copy n paste an answer...what i understand that all i need is an interface that allows me to connect to other computers(servers) through the internet protocol(IP) by knowing its IP Address or translating it by DNS... now where is that interface?

The internet is not a place, or even a thing that's located in a place.  It's not even a place, in the tangible sense.  It's just something that is.  "The internet" simply refers to the union of all the different servers out there where all the information for all the different websites you go to is stored.


i am currently on a diet and my self confidence is low but i would love to start dating so will losing weight make me more attractive

Losing weight will not make you more attractive, per se. You might get more ATTENTION from people who would have never talked to you when you were heavier, but remember: part of attraction is allure. You need to feel good about yourself; feel sexy. Men and women can tell someone who has low self esteem a lot of the time from the way they look (don't make eye contact, walk with head down, etc), and even if not from the way you carry yourself, they will know when you open your mouth. Make sure you're losing weight to benefit your lifestyle - as a part of being healthier, not to worry about who you will ATTRACT. That stuff will come along at the appropriate time.


I keep getting sharp stabbing pain in my chest. It feels like my heart, but when I told my doctor, she just started making jokes about it. Should I be concerned, and head for a new doctor?

Absolutely.  Chest pains are nothing to fool with.  Go to the emergency room, better safe than sorry.  If it turns out to be serious, see an atty who specializes in medical malpractice.  Your doctor should never make jokes about anything you ask her about.

Everyone is worried about bird flu, but some suspect there's probably something much more deadly is probably right around the corner.  What is this menace?  How long would it take for a worldwide pandemic to destroy all human life?  Closest answer wins .. you guessed it 10 POINTS!  But the answer also wins the priviledge of predicting the end of our species!!

It is very unlikely that a killer virus (at least of natural origin) will wipe out most of humanity. Few viruses have a mortality rate of greater than 50% which would, by definition, be required if it was going to kill off most of humanity. The 1918 flu pandemic had a mortality rate of 5%. Plague (a bacteria, not a virus)killed about 40% of Europeans in affected areas, but this was before antibiotics were invented. Epidemics with highly lethal viruses (such as ebola) tend to burn out pretty quickly.


Got fired no fault of my own, bank teller could not balance my register.I have been applying and stating in applications the reason I left the past employer was because of late bank hours. This is the best job I have down in my resume.

i think if you list them on your resume the employer couldn't get that kind of info anyway... your former employer could only say how much you make, your duties, and your date of employment... that's how it is in arkansas at least...  now if it was because of a crime i think that your former employer would have to tell that...

Quoting Ali Sina from \nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/debates/MohammadShakil.htm\n\nI have made the challenge that should anyone prove me wrong I would remove my site and pay him/her $50,000 dollars in reward. Where is that person? All you Muslims do is write to say I am wrong but snob when I say prove it and say you don’t have to prove anything. Eventually the more intelligent among Muslims will see the failure of their intellectuals and will start questioning why. Why 1.2 billion Muslims can't answer one guy? Many have asked that question and have left Islam.  Often these people have gone to their imams and instead of answer they were rebuked for asking impertinent questions.

My original name is Lindsey Anne ______ (Unfortunately I don't want to give out my last name out but it is ugly now, but it doesn't matter because I want to change it)  I want a name that will still reflect my personality, but sounds famous.  I am currently working on a screen play and am taking theater at college.  I really want to pursue something in the entertainment business so I know I'm going to need to change my name.  I don't want to go with Lindsey because of Lindsey Lohan and others.  I want a good first name that is interesting yet, is still like me.  I was thinking Jackie Prior.  Does that sound famous?  Anyone have ideas for me>  BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS and you may just get a check in the mail if I ever become famous, lol.

I like Prior for a 2nd name...though I don't like Jackie,it reminds too much of Jackie Chan,if you want my opinion...but there are a lot of nice names that start from "J".\nFor starters two great J names are Jessica and Jennifer,but there are too many Jessicas and Jennifers at Hollywood,so unless you don't have a problem,I would suggest you Jane,or,even better Jill(there aren't too many Jills and it's a nice name).\nI also am interested in the entertainment business,I am going to e-mail you and please answer me...\nWho knows,maybe one day we will both have made our dreams come true.\nSo,I suggest Jill Prior...

What foods affect you the most? If you eat something "bad", how long does it take you to feel the pain? Any medications that have helped you? I have just been diagnosed and the pain gets to me sometimes.

I was dignosed with IC over 2 yrs ago.I find that caffeine, acidic foods/drinks, like citrus, tomatoe etc bother me.Alcohol bothered me the most,(Never a big drinker, but every once in a while I would have a couple) I do not drink at all anymore,it is not worth it.One time a few drinks sent me into a 6 week flare.Elmiron has helped me quite a bit.(Some people it causes stomach problem is, but have found if you tke it out of the capsule it doesn't, as it is not the med, but the capsule it is in.)You might want to get a pain mgmt Dr if you do not have one.I take suboxone for pain and it helps, I take Norco and Naproxen for breakthrough pain.I also take Vistaril,Flomax,valium and or muscle relaxers,and pyridium.You need to have your pain "managed" You do not need to suffer.If your uro is not sympathetic to your pain, find another one, I know I had to at first.I also get bladder distentions with DMSO every 3 months that seem to help with the other symptoms, but not so much with pain.There is a website that has info on IC, and a diet for IC. www.ic-network.com


"Here is how they do it," Lamm said: First to destroy America, "Turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans." \n\nLamm went on: Second, to destroy America, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds. \n\nThird, "We could make the United States a 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved! Not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.'" \n\nLamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America reinforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities." \n\n"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school." \n\n"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population." \n\n"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity! Unity is what it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games. \n\nA common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to over come two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. \n\n"E. Pluribus Unum" — From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo." \n\n"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits ~ make it ta

Current proposals include English fluency for citizenship.\n\nSimilar objections are raised with every new wave of immigrants, but they will be absorbed as was the preceeding wave. \n\nI lived in a multicultural environment as a child, and enjoyed it all.  Many Italian mothers and grandmothers spoke only their native language, but my Irish grandparents came with English and Gaelic. Those Italians who were not home-bound by culture quickly learned English on the streets, and in school. At home they spoke to their elders in Italian. My Russian Polish Jewish stepfather, born in the U.S., could communicate in many languages, but most often Yiddish.\n\nWe all learned and experienced ceremonies, holidays, customs, foods, dances and songs from one another.  When we spent our summers at the seashore - no A/C in those days - we performed those songs and dances with and for one another.  \n\nToday, all of us feel assimilated, and appreciate the many gifts passed down from those who braved the unknown to come to America.  None of us are terrorists or criminals, nor are any that I still know xenophobic or racist.  We are mostly tolerant, socially progressive and fiscally conservative.  Politically we are split 50/50.\n\nJust as in the late 1800's when our grandparent's lived in the Irish, Italian and Jewish ghettos of NYC today's immigrant finds comfort and safety in being with "his own kind."  Over time many diverse interests replace language and skin color as reasons to be neighbors.  Today my neighbors' lineages are: a Dane with an Irish wife, a German with a Portuguese wife, a Norwegian with an Irish husband, an English pair, and the Irish in my home.  So too will it be for the wave now arriving.

why doesnt the music people add to there profile on myspace work on my computer

That's because you need to hit play or check your speakers see if they are on or check your sound settings on your computer...i cant think of anything else that can be the problem...it used to play automatically i believe myspace owner tom changed that...so just hit play and it will work that way only...

I have asked this question several times in different places, but I do not get Muslim responses.  Why?  Could it be that down deep Muslims will not criticize another Muslim in these matters or is it that down deep, Muslims generally admire these barbaric murderers?  Or do they admire their "warriors of God" for standing up to the "Grreat Satan"?

Firstly distinguish between extremist , remember many believe in becoming a martyr and to question how much one believes in their own religion is not acceptable nor done.  This is also due to tradition, culture and I believe lack of education. \nIt all comes back to them believing it is gods will.


The Iraqi insurgency has shown its multidimensional face where various offshoots act more or less simultaneously and cooperate with each other. But how do You see the exact pattern of al-Qaeda related activities within the next 5 years? Any new spectacular attacks on the West? Or some other excessive violence in Middle East? How about Afghanistan - does "pious Caliphate" start from there?\nP.S.: Please I need more or less expert answers, not serious answers are of no preference.

The coordinated efforts of islamic forces is not new; just look at Kosovo and Chechnya.  We've read of converted muslims leaving the US to help these efforts abroad.  The main problem, and the thing the average american doesn't realize, is most of these forces have personnel trained by US special forces and/or CIA when we assisted Iraq during the Iran/Iraq war and in aid of Afghanistan during the Afghan-Soviet war, so it's going to become increasingly difficult to capture key persons when they have our playbook (for that terrain)\n\nIf anyone knows future al-Quida movements, they surely couldn't share them in this forum.  As an opinion, I feel a strong effort needs to be initiated to work with the ruling bodies in the region so that stronger governments arise, lessening the attraction of these off-shoot groups.  The only way this is feasible is if we start approaching the leaders from a position they are more comfortable with and that begins with sending envoys who understand and appreciate their culture.  Just as the FBI couldn't infiltrate the Black Panthers due to lack of black agents, we won't be able to gain full confidence until we can send some US representives over with whom the common man in the Mid East can relate.  The problem is, I'm not sure that is a priority and I worry that diplomacy is taking a back seat.  Egypt is increasingly turning anti-American on a grassroots level and you see more and more persons of higher stature (professors, physicians, lawyers) becoming involved in local politics in the region and they aren't preaching US policy.

It is not uncommon for men to get beat by wives/girlfriends, but it's just not reported.  I want to know if any men have experienced or are experiencing this and if any women have done this to their man.  If possible give me reasons and if it was reported and why/why not.  Men, please don't be ashamed to answer if you have, this doesn't make you a pansy or anything.

We had a friend who divorced his wife because she would hit him as hard as she could. He was a big guy and never hit her back. she had issues from her first marriage with a husband who beat her, and a father who hit her mother. my friend was very gentle, but enough was enough. He never reported it, he just divorced her and let her keep the house. \nWe had another friend who had back surgery and his ex-wife would hit him where the surgery had been done whenever he wouldn't do what she wanted him to do. She was just nasty. He divorced her, but did not report it. \nBoth men remarried women who did not hit them.


What kind of weed did Vicente Fox gave the baboons that voted for this bill on immigration?illegals started out as felons and came out as comic book heroes,all that was left was Ted Kennedy to oppologize for what happen at the alamo and John McCain almost claiming illegals can prevent cancer,how can these senators that voted yes for this bill look at americans with a straight face,every senator that voted for this bill should be taken out of his office,with hands up in the air,escorted out of the country and declared an enemy of the state,and last George W Bush should be accountable for being the instigator of this bill

its funny...but every time i email my congressman ..who is a woman...one of the most liberal in the country...i get a form email back stating how this is good for the country....as though she knows all about what is best for me...\n\neven though she doesnt live here and probably hasnt had illegals breaking into her house, killing people, taking jobs, selling drugs, spreading disease, and using every gov't service they can find....she knows whats best for us..\n\nyour right..politicians should be made to account for their un-american stance on this issue come election time...

im in realy bad pain right now because this idiot who likes me wont stop poking me what shall i do. any info. you guys out there who act like that are a whole bunch of fruitcakes so get ur dirty hands off us girls

I don't think he has the right to touch you, but you don't have the right to decide who he likes. if he is smitten with you and you can "tell " it is one thing you have no control over, if he touches you that's another issue, if he tells all your friends still nothing wrong with professing his love. (he's a fool is the only thing). some people have no shame so I guess you have already tried embarrassing him? and that didn't work. you can take legal action (battery) for him touching you. that may scare him enuf to stop. good luck........


this question is to all who denied that the koran isnt the word of god\n\nkoran was written from more than 1400 years but he talked abt what will happen in the voyage to the moon that was in the 20th century\n\ni wanna let u read it urself\n--------------------------------------------\nTHE VOYAGE TO THE MOON\n\nAnd [I swear by] the moon when it is full, you will mount up stage by stage! What is the matter with them, that they have no faith? (Qur'an, 84:18-20)\n\nAfter referring to the Moon, the above verses then say that people will mount up stage by stage. The term tarkabunna comes from the verb rakiba, (to mount, walk on a path, follow, embark upon, set about, participate, or rule). In the light of these meanings, it is very likely that the expression "you will mount up stage by stage" refers to a vehicle to be boarded.

I am a christian and I do not doubt for a second that the Koran is not the word of God, it is actually very similar to our Bible, I would like to read the Koran and I think you should read the Bible too.  \nThe Koran also predicted 9/11 did you know? "For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."\nThat verse is number 9.11 of the Koran. The eagle is the symble of America.


How can I practice my back full? I can get my half and sometimes a 3/4 turn but I can't get a full! I'm high enough off the floor but I still can't get it. How do you know when to twist and stuff like that? Please help! Thanks!

First, make sure you've got a spot when you are doing this.  My coach would make a noise (ex. Clap, or yell Twist or Now) when it was time for me to start turning.  I had the same problem you had for a long time! Make sure when you are twisting that your hips are twisting.  It can't just be an upper body motion. Make sure you throw your hips too.  Also, don't start looking for the ground too early.  If your head stops "looking" with the rotation, your body will stop rotating.  How are you throwing your arms to activate the full?  There are many many ways to do it, such as, when I started, I always kept my right arm straight in the air by my head, threw my left arm to my right hip, and turned my head into my right arm, so that I was basically looking through my armpit.  Some coaches want both arms thrown, so I did left arm to right hip, right arm to middle of my back, and head to the right. However your coach has you doing it, make sure that you are not unwrapping too soon.  If you unwrap your arms too soon, it will stop your rotation, just like if you stop looking with your head. Last thing.  Don't let your mind freak you out.  Yes, you are doing a full rotation while you are upside-down, but this is a huge accomplishment!  Don't think of the magnitude of the skill, think of the fact that you are doing so well! Good luck and let me know if you need anything else!


As a military spouse myself, I am just curious about what you think is the BEST and worse part about being a military spouse?

This sums up the military spouse, I had it made into a scroll for my wife she hangs it up in every house we move to.....\n\nThe military wife~ \n---- Author Unknown \n\nThe good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into His sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?" \n\nThe Lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order. She has to be completely independent, possess the qualities of both a father and mother, be a perfect hostess to four or forty with an hour's notice, run on black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully, even if she is pregnant and has the flu, and she must be willing to move to a new location ten times in seventeen years. And, oh yes, she must have six pairs of hands!" \n\nThe angel shook her head, "Six pairs of hands? No way. \n\n" The Lord continued,"Don't worry, I will make other military wives to help her. And I will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husband's achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say, 'I understand' when she doesn't and say 'I love you', regardless." \n\n"Lord," said the angel, touching his arm gently. "Go to bed and get some rest.You can finish this tomorrow." \n\n"I can't stop now," said the Lord. "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave good-bye to her husband from a pier, a runway or a depot, and understand why it's important that he leave." \n\nThe angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed, "It looks fine, but it's too soft." \n\n"She might look soft," replied the Lord. "But she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure." \n\nFinally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lord's creation. "There's a leak," she announced. "Something is wrong with the construction. I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put too much into this model." \n\nThe Lord appeared offended at the angel's lack of onfidence."What you see is not a leak," He said. "It's a tear." "A tear?" What is it there for?" asked the angel. \n\nThe Lord replied, "It's for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride and a dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear." \n\n"You are a genius!" exclaimed the angel. \n\nThe Lord looked puzzled and replied, "I didn't put it there."

No infact just the opposite... drinking a lot of water will flush out the toxic waste from the body making it healthy and fit...Drinking water also makes you lose appetite thus controlling your intake of food. you that's one natural way of reamining slim and healthy..


First, I would say to check the degree reqirements specified by your community college.\n\nSecond, if you are planning to go on for a BA, when given a choice at your community college, take the most rigorous academic courses you can.  That means math as opposed to auto repair, or language courses instead of cosmetology.  There is nothing wrong with learning how to fix a car or cut hair, but they are less likely to lead to a four year degree.


my sister and her boyfriend arnt suppose to see each other cuz of are mom. but he says that he wants to breake up with her but he still drives by even thought he can drive like 5 different other ways?does that mean that he still thinks of her

If he don't have any reason for being there with a close friend near bye.\n\nHe may be trying to see her in the yard.\nMaybe to talk or to harm her so it best\nyou all stay clear until y'all know why.


Yes they can. After all that cup is not that heavy...

do you think it will make me feel better, any tips on how I should take this?  I felt like crap at work from the trazadone I think its making me have panic attacks although i dont think i have panic attacks i think its a side effect I want to be more calm at work and get off of trazadone and switch to xanax help!

If you suffer from panic disoreder,associated with anxiety as far as I can get from your info,I would say the prescribed medications,namely Trazadone is not a good remedy.There are a lot of other possible and adequate drugs dealing with panic,and giving a satisfying long-term results.I have no idea why specialist still prescribe too often Xanax! Bear in mind that medication goes to addiction and it must be taken only as a temporary remedy!So I strongly advice you to see some other psychiatrist,and good effects are achieved for your condition,with the combination of SSRI antidepressants(Zoloft is good),and additional antipsichotic drug if needed.Go ahead and find a good shrink!Wish you luck!

what do you expect him to do?  If he's shy and he knows you like him, that is going to make him even more shy.

Let's say, Jesus was married to ole Mary, his cohort and beloved wife, then why would that be such a disgrace or sacriligious to God's name? The bible says she was a whore. But the accounts of this were written by men who depised her, especially Peter. Was it bad for Jesus to be married? How could a man of his age before his death be a bachelor? Jewish men had to be married by then. What if he was gay? What if he did have a blood line? Would that not make him more human than deity? If this was all true, then why would the Catholic church hide such a thing? Are we all male chauvinistic pigs? I am not liberal or conservative. A fine line in between. Please enlightment me with you answers! Thanks! BTW Jesus does love you.

The Bible doesn't say she was a whore. That's more of a folk tradition.

Why is it that I am depressed over a girl I love but I find I have to play hard to get her to fight for me. When I first started going after her the interest level droped off. Then when I backed off she started coming after me like crazy and treating me really good. I'm still playing this stupid game but now I think it's becoming fun. Do women like a challenge and if so why?

Can't you just be honest with her? The most commendable aspect of a person is their ability to be honest about what they think and how they feel given the level of deceit that seems to be too common. Be honest, don't play mind games :-)


Is it static discharge, vibration from the 60-cycle field or something else entirely?

"The audible noise emitted from high-voltage lines is caused by the discharge of energy that occurs when the electrical field strength on the conductor surface is greater than the 'breakdown strength' (the field intensity necessary to start a flow of electric current) of the air surrounding the conductor. This discharge is also responsible for radio noise, a visible glow of light near the conductor, an energy loss known as corona loss and other phenomena associated with high-voltage lines.

If you had the chance to fix something that you did may it be a relationship , work or just something what would it be ?\nand why ?

given the chance to fix one thing in my life, it would be ALL the wrongdoings i have made. but then, if i have been perfect all my life, what's the use of living this life and learning from our own mistakes? those mistakes in the past contributed to the person that we are now. things happen for a reason regardless if it is intentional or not. the best thing to do is to learn from one's mistake and continue living for the better, not for the worst.

start lifting weights and do some stretching along with your aerobics........\n\njust eat a balanced diet... find out what your MHR (maximum heart rate) is and then find the zone most appropriate for you to be exercising in and try to exercise in that heart rate zone.........\n\ntry talking to your doctor or a personal trainer......\n\nswimming is also excellent for weight loss


My 9 year old son asked me who made up swear words and why. I told him I honestly don't know but would try to find out. Anyone here have any idea or a website that has the history of it. Any helpful information would be appreciated.\n\nThanks

do a google search on " history of swear words "  - lots of information - lots of reading - don't know if you will get anything from it that will satisfy a 9 year old's curiousity - good luck !!


Is there any good ways to memorize vocabularies.  There are many words I learned a few weeks back and when I review them, I don't remember most of the meanings.  Tell me how do you memorize them.

for me to remember vocabulary words, i try to write down the words many times (so i could also remember the spelling) then put down the definition. from the definitions i try to make sentences. i patch the words with some of their synonyms to make them easier to understand. \n\nyou have to use those words when you want to remember them. it's always better that way. use them in essays, letters, etc. when i teach vocabulary words, the kids retain the words when i instruct them to use those words in their assignments.


The Senate power of advice and consent does not apply to\n A. executive orders.\n B. federal judges.\n C. ambassadors.\n D. the chief justice\n\nIn a felony case, the purpose of a grand jury is to\n A. decide if the offender should be tried by a jury.\n B. judge on a civil indictment.\n C. decide if the evidence warrants prosecution.\n D. judge the merits of the case against the state constitution.\n\nThe system of checks and balances failed under Andrew Jackson when he\n A. passed the Wagner Act.\n B. failed to repeal the Patriot Act.\n C. acted against a ruling of the Supreme Court.\n D. declared war without a declaration of war from Congress.\n\nIf you visit the Senate chamber during a session on an average day, you're most likely to find the session presided over by\n A. a speaker for the house.\n B. a president pro tem.\n C. the vice president of the United States.\n D. the majority leader.

1.  A.  Executive orders.  All others are positions which the Senate must vote on.  Personal opinion: All too often executive orders are used to sidestep Congress, and should be limited (the EPA was created by executive order).\n\n2.  A and C.  The purpose of a grand jury is to indict, in other words to say that there is enough evidence to warrant a jury trial (which sits a petit jury).  Both A and C apply here, as they are saying whether there is enough evidence for prosecution and whether that is enough for a jury trial.\n\n3.  C.  Both the Wagner Act and the Patriot Act are well after Jackson's time.  There were no declared wars during Jackson's term in office, but he did basically sidestep the Supreme Court when it ruled that the state of Georgia could not enforce its law on Cherokee lands.  Jackson basically pressured the Cherokee to sign removal treaties, as Jackson was a big advocate of "Indian Removal."\n\n4.  B.  The President pro Tempore usually runs the Senate (usually it is the longest serving member of the majority party, currently Ted Stevens of Alaska).  The Speaker of the House has no standing in the Senate, and the Majority Leader basically controls the agenda.  The Vice President is the President of the Senate, but can only vote in case of a tie, so usually is not in attendance.

I met him and we talked for a couple of hours and he seemed nice and interested.  I don't really like him but I was drunk and I let him go to what I think is second base...just some touching over the clothes.  I just want to know your opinion because I feel kind of guilty.

No, why would you feel guilty? No one got hurt, right? You both enjoyed it?\n\nThe only thing you might want to think about is if you are really interested in having a serious relationship with this guy, you might want to slow down a bit.\n\nMost guys don't take "easy" women that seriously.\n\nBut you shouldn't feel guilty at all.


Is it possible to install the MAC operating system on a PC?\n\nIm sick of Windows, it sucks\n\nthanks

MAC and Windows run on two different types of software, so there is no way to install the Mac OS on a PC. However, Mac recently came out with a dual booting computer, meaning that it can run Windows. As well, Mac has a program called "Virtual PC" that simulates Windows on Mac OS.\nTo sum it up, if you want the Mac OS, looks like youd better buy a new Mac.


What if the person becomes a Catholic, then can they receive Communion?\n\nHow Does one become Catholic?\n\nAnd please tell me what Communion is...

While many Christian denominations have a form of "communion", ONLY the Catholic and Orthodox Churches  believe the bread and wine really "substantiate" into His Body and Blood, taking the Bible literally there.  \n(This is from the Last Supper, AND the story of the loaves and fishes in John.)\n\nOnly a Catholic without mortal sin should receive Catholic Communion, but others are welcome to receive a blessing instead (indicate by crossing their arms across their chest).\n\nTo become Catholic requires taking a "RCIA" class at the Church that generally lasts about 8-9 months, agreeing to Catholic beliefs, and if married, the marriage must be blessed by the Church (any prior marriage annulled).


and every time we kiss i swear i can fly can't u here my heart beatb fast i want this to last

Everytime We Touch - Cascada\nI still hear your voice, \nWhen you sleep next to me. \nI still feel your touch, \nin my dreams. \nForgive me my weakness, \nBut I dont know why, \nWithout you it's hard to survive \n\n(chorus) \n'Cause every time we touch, \nI get this feeling \nAnd every time we kiss, \nI swear I can fly \nCan't you feel my heart beat fast, \nI want this to last, \nNeed you by my side \n'Cause every time we touch, \nI feel the static, \nAnd every time we kiss, \nI reach for the sky, \nCan't you hear my heart beat slow \nI can't let you go, \nI Want you in my life. \n\nYour arms are my castle, \nYour heart is my sky. \nThey wipe away tears that I've cried \nThe good and the bad times, \nWe've been through them all. \nYou make me rise when I fall..


I have had high blood pressure for the past two years and my teeth may be the problem. Other symptoms may be muscle pains and spasms,constant exhaustion, anxiety, foul taste in mouth after eating, etc. Any help from someone with similar problem would be appreciated.Could this be the root cause?What about chest pains and nervous system effects?

the bacteria from your mouth(due to tooth decay) can go to any part of your body. remember the nerve in your tooth is connected to many body parts. and yeah it can get into your bloodstream as well and do a whole lot of damage to your body. so try to get it fixed soon.

My computer soundcard (Creative Audigy2 ZS PCI) has an output for a SPDIF digital.  My speakers have inputs for analog RCA jacks, coaxial and optical.  How do I match them up?  Can't find my instructions and couldn't find it on Creative website.

SPDIF is a file transfer interface and is designed for transferring audio files from one device to another, such as from computer to DAT or vice versa.  I have never heard of connecting speakers directly to the SPDIF connector since the impedance of the interface (75 ohms) doesn't match that of speakers (generally 8 ohms).  Theoretically, it may be possible to establish this sort of connection by using an impedance matching device to reduce the 75 ohm output of the SPDIF down to the 8 ohms required by your speakers.  However, there may be other factors that would prevent this from working, such as compression of the digital signal which would cause the frequency content of the audio to not be reproduced correctly by your speakers since they don't have decompression capability.


What I mean is that, I still dream of him, think of him and love him even if we've been apart for almost 3 years.

Me too. your first love is always going to be part of you. He was the first person who cared for you and the first you cared for. You will always think of him.


I don't understand why everyone is in such a rush to get married. If you are presently happy in your current situation, then why press the marriage button?

I think because marriage is the ultimate committment (or its supposed to be!). You're pledging to love and stand by your significant other for the rest of your life...its a big deal and it is something women have been trained to want and dream about!\nPersonally, I have no idea when I'm going to head down the aisle, as I'm currently single. I'm in no rush though, there are so many things that will be harder to do while in a committed relationship!

It hurts at first but once you get over it you will feel like a stronger person. This is a dangerous time for you because instead of toughing it out and growing up, some guys resort to being emo which always leads to homosexuality and dressing like a girl. Judging by your grammar and poor spelling you are probably young. Give it time buddy there are better ones out there TRUST me.


Using a 110V to 12V power converter, then from the 12V output use a power inverter and switch back to 110V to power appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners. It this possible? Can you save on energy costs this way?

No way.  And the evidence is easy to find, too.  Plug in a power converter and run something off it for a while, then put your hand on the converter -- it's hot, right?\n\nThat heat is *wasted energy* -- converting electricity from one voltage to another requires work to be done, and that work generates heat, which is the indication of the inherent inefficiences of the process.  If you then reconvert the electricity to 120V, you will experience a second inefficiency, evidenced as more heat lost.


Would you tell him that you love him,and to hold you while you cried?Would you ask him to forgive you,for all the wrong you have done?Would HE tell you not to worry,for HE is the begotten Son?Do you think his voice will be soft and flowing,like water from a fall?Or do you think his voice will be loud and boistrous,like a matting eagles'call?Would you kneel down to Jesus and confess to him your lies?Would HE hold you and comfort you as the tears filled your eyes? Would you shout,"Oh Lord I will follow you,until my dying day!Will you guide and protect me,each step along the way"? Would you thank him for dying for you,upon that dogwood cross?Would you say,"Please stay for dinner, and let us have a talk"?Would HE tell you that your life is not in disrepair?"If you give me all your burdens,and cast upon me all your cares".What would you say to Jesus,if he were sitting by your side?"Thank you for my salvation,I have nothing more to hide." (one of MANY of my published poems)Hope you enjoyed i

Yes i would say all of those thing's,but most of all "THANK YOU".Nice poem!


Look, I need a good comeback for this "bi@#$" that works at my workplace. Although I know that I am pretty popular among ladies, and I look pretty decent, although a little short but all in proportion. \nShe keeps telling me that I am short and that I do not have any muscles and that I should be working out to get more "muscleeee"\nI work out, since I am only 5' 6" I do not want to be bulky. What I told, since this is happening at work, that if you don't like what you see then don't look this way. \nBut, I need something better than that that would make her feel really bad. I am the guy who doesn't give up, so please come up with some ideas, knowing that this is for work environment!

Has she looked in the mirror herself lately.\n\nAsk her why she's so interested in your body.  Say you hope she doesn't fancy you cause she's definitely not your type (preferably with an audience).\n\nAsk her if she uses the same razor as you do.\n\nTell her not to worry about your body - she should concentrate on her face.\n\nI'm female by the way.


Any helpful web site about the information about job analysis interview?\nthank you.

no websites i don't think, but i believe that it is an interview where they give you a case-scenario and ask what you would do in that situation; or a practical interview where you have to prove your skills on the spot..

My husband has three children with his ex-wife and they have joint custody, but she has primary custody/residence and more overnight visitations (She has 9 overnights and he only has 5). How can he win 50/50 overnight visitations? Isn't it in the best interest of the children to have equal amounts of time with BOTH parents? He is a loving, fit father. Why do the courts favor the mother so much even when the mother isn't necessarily the best parent?

It all depends how far away he lives from there mom.  He he lives very far from there home then it is best that they stay home with their mom more!  He is very lucky with what he has got now, because most dads only get every other weekend with their kids!\n\nBut it is highly unlikely that a judge will award him 50/50 because it will be too confusing for the kids.\n\nWell with all the info you have provided, it sounds like he should try for legal guardian!


THE SULPHUR SLUGGER'S...IT'S MY SON'S BASEBALL TEAM!!


This is in fact what happened when Bush's father pulled strings to get his son into flight school.  What's wrong with this picture ? \nThis is what is wrong about having an aristocracy that can bend rules that the lower classes can't  Other officers earned their commissions by attending an academy, completing ROTC or attending an OTS. \nThere is NO proof Bush did any of these things.

It is different here in africa immeadiately after a military coup you could just get rewarded with a rank after participation.


Do the different rows stand for tens, units etc..?

The link shows how to make calculations using an abacus.  Good luck.


i mean you see him like all bloody but the wife says the tire killed him .. ? so what happened? i stil dont get this movie lol

I think it's left up to us, the audience to decide what really happened to Jack. I've seen the movie a couple of times and have thought about the same thing, but I'm still not sure which story to believe. But I'm leaning towards Jack getting killed by the townspeople who found out he was gay because Jack was more open about his sexuality.


what is hypothyroism and what are the symptoms of hypothyroidsm and how is it treated

Hypothyroidism Symptoms \n\n   1.  Insufficient production of thyroid hormones.\n   2. A pathological condition resulting from severe thyroid insufficiency, which may lead to cretinism or myxedema.\n\n\nHypothyroidism\n\nA disorder in which the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone causing a decrease in the rate of metabolism with associated effects on the reproductive system. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty swallowing, mood swings, hoarse voice, sensitivity to cold, forgetfulness, and dry/coarse skin and hair. \n\nHypothyroidism FAQS :\n\nWhat are thyroid hormones?\nThyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland. This gland is located in the lower part of the neck, below the Adam's apple. The gland wraps around the windpipe (trachea) and has a shape that is similar to a butterfly - formed by two wings (lobes) and attached by a middle part (isthmus).\n\nThe thyroid gland uses iodine (mostly available from the diet in foods such as seafood, bread, and salt) to produce thyroid hormones. The two most important thyroid hormones are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which account for 99.9% and 0.1% of thyroid hormones present in the blood respectively. However, the hormone with the most biological activity is T3. Once released from the thyroid gland into the blood, a large amount of T4 is converted into T3 - the active hormone that affects the metabolism of cells.\n\nThyroid hormone regulation- the chain of command\nThe thyroid itself is regulated by another gland that is located in the brain, called the pituitary. In turn, the pituitary is regulated in part by the thyroid (via a "feedback" effect of thyroid hormone on the pituitary gland) and by another gland called the hypothalamus.\n\nThe hypothalamus releases a hormone called thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), which sends a signal to the pituitary to release thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). In turn, TSH sends a signal to the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. If a disruption occurs at any of these levels, a defect in thyroid hormone production may result in a deficiency of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism).


Help I need some ideas to market my business??? Any networking ideas??

Is true men do not think about their partners during this process...or is it bull****?

If the guy loves the woman he is with, I don't think he'll think of other women when they make love. This also applies to the woman as well.

hi, \n\ni met this family friend who could so far has predicted that my cousin would get married by the end of the year and in fact she did. (she is a complete man hater, so it surprised me) and also told my aunt that the funds shes waiting for from *** will never come and he was right!! but how did he know about this fund? hes amazing!! but then he told me when i was very young i think 9, that i will marry 3 three times and third time is a charm and that i will live long and be rich. BUT im in a relationship with a man i love with all my heart and adore and cry constantly because i feel like i know hes not the one for me, and sometimes thinking that i will nto end up with him makes me make irrationally acts and thoughts. i pull away when we get closer because i fear it will hurt me so much more.. i dont know what to do i cant see myself without this man. PERIOD. i know that only time can tell but it kills me, its affecting my life what this fortune teller has said. what should i do?

the thing with telling fortunes, they show *possible* paths, the "more-then-likely" out come. no fortune is written in stone. events in your life will change the out come, and it seems that events happened in your life (and in his) that made you skip the "previous" marriages. if your instincts are telling you that *this* is the man, then he probably is!\n\n\nbtw, the "you will live a long and happy, prosperous life" is a classic line in the business. a fortune teller makes his money by telling people something bad will happen and generally cushions it between two good things that will happen. these folk are generally crooks, not psychics. it is also possible for a true psychic to just be wrong. intuition (which is what they are using) isn't something that can be turned on and off like a light. many things can affect how accurate a reading you get, like how much sleep they got and their general mood. remember, they're people too, with problems and issues they have to deal with. if they're worrying about a personal issue it's harder to focus on the problems of someone else.


I have to wrote about architects, but I need to know about them. What exactly is the job description of an architect? What are their working conditions?\n\nAlso, what is the current job availability for them?\n\nif you could answer these questions, I'd appreciate it! =]

they work outdoors and indoors.\n\noutdoors when supervising construction.\nindoors when plowing thru drawing after drawing.\n\nmore importantly, they need to know the needs & wants of the developer / owner.\nPLUS the requirements of the civil, structural, mechanical & electrical engineers.\n\nif the needs of the engineers are not heeded, your project is at the risk of collapse / break down...which will lead to lawsuits, liability claims, etc.etc.


Now, it's obviously OK to argue Kobe is deserving of the MVP (and he DEFINITELY is the Most Vocal P**sy), but to try to argue that Nash DOESN'T deserve it, or that Kobe got ROBBED? That's completely LUDICROUS - even for you Laker homers out there. "But Kobe scored 50!!! (and don't think that will happen again with Raja back for Game 7) WAHHHHH" - yeah, AND THEY STILL LOST - The Suns scored 21!! In OT!!! That's 5 FREAKING MINUTES!! And don't forget, if not for that BULLSH*T call for Walton in Game 4 (even if you want to argue that he didn't foul, he STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS WHILE TOUCHING THE BALL!!!), this series would now be over. Oh, and by the way, how do you think Kobe liked the taste of Shawn Marion's NUTS???!!!!

Basketball is a team sport, not a lone ranger sport.  Steve Nash is the leader of his team, and his success is clearly apparent through the improvements his players have experienced this season.  Kobe has to consciously try to be a team player, but he is a "me first" player and always will be.  I have said enough on this subject and will let game 7 speak for itself.  \n\nAll you Kobe lover boys should keep your mouth shut when the Suns hand you the pink slip on Saturday.

Hi everybody. I watched this movie today but i'm not that professional in English to understand the meaning of its name. Can anyone of you nice people explain more about it in English or Persian?\nI even visited wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_Wounds) but there you can only find infos about the movie.\nThanx

"Exit Wounds" refer to the damage a bullet does as it exits the body, after it has entered.


Please rank the following as to how important that person's role SHOULD BE in a child's education, with 1 being the lowest, and 5 being the highest.\n\nCLASSROOM TEACHER\nPRINCIPAL/OTHER ADMINISTRATORS\nGUIDANCE COUNSELORS\nOTHER SCHOOL STAFF\nPARENT\nSTUDENT\nOTHER (SPECIFY)

For a very young child, I'd say the parents are the most responsible.\nthen the teacher.\n\nAs a child gets older, say 12 and over, it becomes the child who is the most responsible, then the parent, then the teacher.  The child at this point needs to take on more self-responsibility or at least learn about self-responsibility.\n\nI'm not one of those people who blames the schools for a child's failing grades.  It starts in the home.


what sort of hope do doctors in america hold out for these people?and what is done about a person who doesent speak at all but can do almost everything...including 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles. he also does the 3-dimensional puzzles in 3 hours.He is quite slf sufficient and makes tea he can also do a modicum of cooking.All his autistic features have gone except the lack of language.In my country autism is not recognised.and they are lumped with mentally retarded.

Isn't it sad when people with Autism are considered to be partially and, in the case of your country, lumped in the same group as people with mental retardation?  I have yet to meet a child with Autism that is not VERY bright.  They all seem to ahve a high intellect, but lack the ability to communicate this.\n\nAt an rate, Autism is a HUGE spectrum, so to give a lifetime prognosis is difficult, and would have to be done on an individual basis.  Every person is SO different.  The best treatment that I have seen is the Applied behavioral Analysis (ABA) program.  It seems to have an amazing affect on almost every individual that goes through it.  best of luck!!


and what is considered as forbidden love? like between a teacher and a student(juz an example) or what? opinions.,.

nothing can draw exactly. This depend on private opinion. \nSomebody think this way but another think differently. I just want to say that there is no love called forbidden love.( a teacher and student can make love too..)If this love doesn't confuse anything, certainly you could foster your love anyway


I'm new to the area and curious to find out before they're starting. Is it safer to stay at home or to drive up North?

Tampa is in a MAJOR flood zone.  Check out this past Sundays Tampa Tribune they had this years Hurricane guide in them with flood zones.  I've now been through 4 hurricanes in 2 yrs. they are a pain.  2 times I sent my wife to georgia the last 2 she stayed home.  It's more mental than anything, after going through so many in so short a time you just get tired of them.  But before you make your decision about leaving or not find out what floodzone you are in and then look at the hurricanes strength.  level 1/2 you probably can stay home, just be ready to be without power for a few days.  3 or better, I'd think about leaving. Hope this helps.

How come american service personnel get so many medals compared to thier allied counterparts

Well, let's see now. The easiest medal that I ever earned was the National Defense Medal upon completion of Basic Training. We called it the Road Guard Medal, the KP Medal, and the Fire Watch Medal. The next two would have been the Expert Marksman Badge and the Good Conduct Medal. After that things were a little different. I earned one Distinguished Service Cross, one Silver Star, one Distinguished Fling Cross, four Bronze Stars (with "V" Device) and four more for Meritorious Service, one Meritorious Service Medal, seven Air Medals (with "V" Device) and three for Meritorious Service, three Army Commendation Medals (with "V" Device) and two for Meritorious Service, three Purple Heart Medals, one Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, one Vietnam Campaign with one Silver Campaign Star Device and one Bronze Campaign Star Device, one Vietnam Service Medal with '60 Device, two Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry Medals (with Palm Device and Bronze Star Device), one Combat Infantryman's Badge, one Aircraft Crewman's Badge (Basic), one Senior Parachutist Badge, and one Vietnamese Parachutist Badge (Basic). I also wore for the units I served in three Presidential Unit Citations,three Valorous Unit Citations, two Meritorious Unit Citations, one Vietnamese Presidential Unit Citation, one Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry Unit Citation(with Palm Device and one Vietnamese Civil Action Unit Citation (with Palm Device. The American servicemen that I knew were never GIVEN any medals, badges, citations, or rank! The key word is EARNED. Also, heroism and valor are very common among the American serviceman and thousands were never recognized for that or some finally after 20+ years or after they've died. What the requirements for other nations servicemen are I have no idea but I know that our Armed Forces do not just hand out medals and even sometimes downgrades the initial recommendation ( like recommended for the Medal of Honor and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross or Silver Star Medal instead). Believe me, all those medals that I earned mean nothing to the vast majority of American citizens and only something to me. Those medals and $1.50 will get me a cup of coffee in this country or maybe a free beer. My biggest honor was to accept certain medals that I felt were on behalf of my men for without them, I would probably have just received one Purple Heart. Nobody I ever knew of asked to be given or awarded any medal.

Ok, my senior prom was on sat. and my date has a girlfriend but he was my date before him and his girlfriend starting dating..anyways, at prom he was being really friendly with me and by the time the night was over we had already made out and we were acting like a couple but he has a girlfriend and i dont know what to do..i think he likes me but then why is he with her?

Be careful, he may be playing you. You should try to find out the status of his current relationship, whether he's happy or on verge of breakup or whatever. But to be honest with you If a guy is "Friends" with you he's considered dating you, unless ofcourse he's gay.

They became friends right off. then he says she was starting to become to much. he did admit to me that at one time he did want to date her but that was befor he met me and now he wants to be with me. Well ever since I started dating this guy she has tryed to get with him. Not befor i started to date him but AFTER. I told him how i felt about it and he said he would talk to her about it, and he did in frount of me. and she started wineing saying well shes taking you from me. I stated that he was never hers, and he aggred with me infrount of her. so she said ok. then she comes back and trys to be his friend again he says ok and then she starts again. she was hugging and rubing all over him and I told...

I think being able to set up boundries is important but most guys love any attention from women but if you look more insecure the more then likely he will be with her.  Men love a confident women.  Until he says enough she will still come around but maybe he is just playing the field and keeping his options open and if it does bother that much then you walk away but try to be friends and keep it simple and take out the drama.
