this person is stubborn you can tell that he knows cause he cant stand to look at me because he knows i know but he still wont tell. see this boy is wghat you call a druggie but not all the way i can tell because he wouldnt show fear so please give me some advice to make him admit he stole from me.

The biggest dillusion in the world today is people assuming they can manipulate another person.  You simply cannot make others do what you want them to do.  You can ask him if he did it... if he says no then everything you do from there on is going to be met with his attempts to proove his innocence.  Even if he is quilty.  People today are not taught at home or at school the importance of personal character and without it they are able to convince themselves that they did nothing wrong because right and wrong are relative factors.  My best advise is to either prosecute or drop it.  Trying to force someone to admit to something they have denied is futile, not to mention aggrivating.


reproduction, capacity of all living systems to give rise to new systems similar to themselves. The term reproduction may refer to this power of self-duplication of a single cell or a multicellular animal or plant organism. In all cases reproduction consists of a basic pattern: the conversion by a parent organism of raw materials from the environment into offspring—or into cells that develop into offspring (see meiosis; mitosis)—of a constitution similar or potentially similar to that of the parent. The reproductive process always includes the transmission of hereditary material (see nucleic acid) from the parents so the offspring too can reproduce themselves. Although the methods and complexity of the reproductive process vary tremendously, two fundamental types may be distinguished; asexual reproduction, in which a single organism separates into two or more equal or unequal parts; and sexual reproduction, in which a pair of specialized reproductive (sex) cells fuse.\n\nREGARDING CAVE MAN IT IS TRIAL AND ERROR METHOD


I want to take over payments of a friwnds RV motorhome. What do I have to do ensure I am on the title?

If it a assumable loan, your friend can just notify the finance company of his intention of having you assume his loan.  The company will forward necessary paperwork to him for you to sign.  Once the loan has changed to your name, they will change the title on the RV to your name.


Hi. I have been sending enormous no. of emails to my friend's hotmail and Yahoo. Mostly hotmail. He is not responding.\nHow do I know if he is receving my emails since non bonced or if he blocks all incoming mails since i tried different addreses to send from. I am really worried. Please let your answers clear. I am not excellent in dealing with technology

As long as you are not receiving a MailerDaemon message in return, he is receiving the messages. However, there is no way of knowing whether or not that email was filtered out as junk/spam without asking him directly.\n\nIf you really are sending an enormous number of emails, that could cause the system to think that they are spam. It's also possible that your friend accidentally clicked on a wrong button and marked your messages as spam. However, as I said before, there's no way for a sender to know whether or not his messages have been received. This is one of the ways people are protected from spam mails.

I know, its a stupid question, but i watch this Anime Show called Naruto, and i was wondering if Chakra really exists. Does it?

if u think about it, u do have mental energy and physical energy, and when they are used together, it will support u when u exercise and study/work. Chakra may be something u see on tv, but it could be possible that it is inside of us in small doses.


I know it consist of how many passes, yards, completetions, TD's, INT's


depression is the termite of life, ruining you underneath. help me to get the proper answer.

You have to get busy.  thats the main thing for getting out of it.  If it's long term there may be another problem causing it and there are thousands of those it seems.  But regular depression with a short term duration is actually pretty normal.  Whether you want to or not get out and interact.  Sitting around doing this will make it worse.  Be busy and be around people, stay away from alcohol or drugs because they will definitely make it worse, and if this doesn't work or you feel like you'll do something drastic to yourself or someone else, don't trust yourself and seek some help right away.  it's in the yellow pages in the kitchen under the sink.


What about the kinds that supposedly don't have to be refrigerated?\nAnd what's up with enteric coating?\nAnd do I ask too many questions?

Acidophilus needs to be refridgerated because it is a bacteria. Since it is a living organism, in order for it to stay alive, they have you bring it down to a temperature that basically "immobilizes" it so it doesn't die. They do sell those that don't have to be stored that way, but all the information i've read suggests that they don't really work the same as most of the bacteria are dead by the time you take them. \n\nThe enteric coating prevents the bacteria in the pill from being released into your stomach and thus digested (killed). Instead it passes into your intestines and is released there, which is where the acidophilus bacteria are meant to be living, so it is best that they reach there alive!\n\nNo, you don't ask too many questions...as long as they are valid.

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost two years.  We have been friends for ten years. Okay, he is the love of my life, I have been to hell and back for him.  I always place him first no matter what, I am constantly trying to keep him happy. the catch is sometimes, I get this feeling that he doesnt love me as much, I  mean he says he does, I just dont trust it. Maybe guys have a different way of showing there feelings, help?

Yes, you are wrong.  It's disrespectful comparison.  You don't know if he loves you more or less.  \n\nI agree with the notion that he will express love differently.\n\nInstead of trying to "measure" how much he loves you, the question you really need to ask is can you live the rest of your life with the way he currently expresses his love to you?\n\nIf you don't like it and he is unwilling to meet your needs in concrete ways you suggest, then you have to decide if you are willing to live without that in your relationship.\n\nStop comparing, it can't be compared or measured.


Do you really think you're that important?  They are not spying on everybody.  If someone is talking to terrorists or someone involved with al Qaeda or anyone who poses a threat to our country, then you can expect to be wire tapped and rightly so.  Instead of playing politics and saying the government is spying on everyone why don't people just be glad someone is looking out for our safety.  Does it make you feel smart and savvy to claim the government is spying on us?  You know by wiretapping people in communication with terrorists, we might just stop the next 9/11.  You wouldn't be complaining then would you?  Especially if it saved the life of one of your loved ones.  Try looking at it that way and then tell me you honestly think Bush is a terrible person and just wants to spy on Americans.

People are basically paranoid.  And I say that from the amount of people who are complaining that they're being watched.  They are not being watched, unless they are doing something really interesting.  If they are sparking the interest of the Federal Government, they needed to be watched in the first place.  Somehow I am inclined to believe that the people who do the most complaining about anything are the ones who are the most spoiled by other peoples sacrafices.  And making a small sacrafice like this to avoid another bombing is fine with me.  And if they happen to catch a few pedophilic perverts along the way that's even better.

If our sun was carefully watched from Andromeda for over 3000 Earth orbits, would the gravitational attraction between the sun and its orbiting planets cause it to move a bit?  Assume that Andromeda is perfectly stable and does not wobble.

Yes.\n\nAlthough not very much.\n\nThis technique is one of those used by us to detect planets in other solar systems. (Although these are a heck of a lot closer than the Adromeda Galaxy.) The offical name for this method is "astrometric detection."\n\nThe largest wobbles we can see occur when there is a relatively large planet very close to the star. Planets such as these are called "hot jupiters." \n\nFor someone else to detect a wobble from us they would need better instruments. Most of the wobble from the sun would come from Jupiter - its effect dwarfs that of all the other planets combined. But since Jupiter is, relatively speaking, far away from the Sun the extent of the wobbling is small.\n\nDetails on planets found thus far around other stars, using a variety of techniques, are included in these links. Note: the Extrasolar Planet Encyclopedia is an official resource for actual astronomers.

do people really prefer not to hear the truth, and are people too scared to say what is really on their mind?

People hate the truth, because it often hurts. The funny thing is, you need to balance how much a relationship means to you with your desire to tell the truth. You don't want to burn someone who means everything to you for something so trivial as truth.\n\nGood Luck!

I procrastinate from doing my homework EVERY DAY. Can someone help me?

I'll tell you tomorrow. Kidding.\n\nReally, I think the trick is to realize that it isn't so bad - not so daunting if you just stick to the schedule, and get 'er done.\n\nFor me, procrastinating was always because I didn't feel like working. It was when I began to realize that I had twice as much work to do if I just left it that I realized that was all the motivation I needed to get it done.\n\nIt is more work to leave it. Whenever you don't feel like doing it, just think of what a pain the catchup is gonna be!

I'm still confused.  Then why not Iran or Saudi Arabia?  And if Iraq had WMDs why didn't they use them. And if we know N. Korea has them, why don't we attack them.  And are the Iraqi people the only people left on the earth being oppressed and if not, why did we pick to help them first?

Here we go again\nWe are liberating Iraq, Trying to destroy terrorists (remember 9/11) and we thought they had WMD (they did at one time) but inteligence was wrong.  But whether they have them or not, it is a good thing to help the Iraqi people so they can experience the freedom we take for granted.


On News Years Eve I was at a party at my cousins house, and this guy at the party, I don't really know, got really drunk and started some crap with my hubby, who didn't do anything to this guy, he was just talking to my sister, and the guy thought my husband was talking behind his back.. Now we all had been drinking a bit, and my husband is not a fighter.. and has a great deal of respect for my cousins house.. When I realized that the guy was really serious about fighting my husband, I jumped up off the couch and starting yelling at the guy to back off and I was going to kick his butt! The guy just stood there and started challenging me too. The fight was broke up by my cousins husband, but I felt really horrible afterward because I realized it made it seem as though my husband could not take care of himself. I apologized afterward to my husband, and he said it was ok.. but How do I let him know I didn't mean to make him look bad.. He says no worries but I really feel bad. HELP!!

You know your husband, so if he means what he says then forget about it. If you have some doubts about his claim, forget about it. Either way, bringing back up can only make the matter worse. IF and WHEN he wants to discuss it, it'll happen.

MYSELF & HUSBAND WANT A CHILD, BUT I HAVE THREE ALREADY AND HE HAS TWO,AND WE STILL WANT A CHILD. BUT I HAD A TUBLELIGATION ALMOST 10 YRS. AGO .HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING THAT REVERSED SO WE CAN HAVE A CHILD?\nPLEASE HELP ME SO WE A HAVE A CHILD!

While it may be nice to have a biological child with your current spouse, keep in mind the other factors involved.  While a ligation is reversible, after 10 years it is not 'easy'. It is doable, and will cost between 7500 and 15000. No guarantees. At 31 you could certainly have more children, so that is just a financial hurdle and a little luck.\nBut with 5 kids already, can you adequately provide for all of those kids? What about college? If so, then you should give it a shot.\nConsider adoption. Many children could use a good home, and the money spent of a surgery could go a long way to making a difference in another child's life. Of coruse, it won't be a biological child,but it would yours with yor new husband.\n\nYou need to think seriosuly about your reasons for bringing children into the world. If it is just to please your spouse, then reconsider.

Barbara and Meryl are extremely anti-Bush and the Republican party. They have publicly and visciously smeared the president. Have such antics lowered their stature?

Stars have the right to vote and to support their candidate too.  It may even be a public service if they draw attention to a candidate so that his/her message is heard.  But when a star crosses a certain line and viciously smears the opposition and lends no useful information to the debate, I know I will not be able to watch them in a movie and get lost in the story like I should.  I have no intention of sitting there and fuming when I just want entertainment so I pass up the opportunity.


speaking of the God of the Bible - Does He care how christians dress or if they look cool or uncool?

i would say that god says to " honor god with your body". if the clothing you are wearing aren't covering your body, or if they are using you body to display messages that are not honoring god, then i think he doesn't approve. speaking of cool and uncool, god will not care whether you wear name brand designer clothes or if you are some "nerd" who tucks in your shirt and pulls you pants up to  your neck, or if you wear stupid glasses that are taped together, he only cares about what you believe in your heart, whether you have faith in Him or not.

Not sure what "documents" you want to upload ... but BearShare is one that I use regularly. It has music, documents, software ..etc. Under the options it gives you a lot of freedom to restrict. One word of caution .. although it is free to download the software I would suggest paying the annual fee.\n( I think its $24?) This will ensure you dont put adware/spyware that can bog down your system. Your choice .. and remember it can be illegal if you download copyrighted (sp?) material.

In science it's metric and it's standard what is the difference? It's like weight/mass and capacity

There is a detailed (perhaps too detailed) explanation at the following location:\nhttp://www.france-property-and-information.com/metric-system-and-history.htm\n\nYou will also find at this location several pages which will discuss other aspects of your question.\n\nIn terms of capacity, the metric system and the USA/Imperial systems simply use different units. The situation is a bit more complex for weight/mass. \n\nWeight is how much something ways, whereas mass is the amount of matter. We say that a kilogram (mass) is equal to 2.2 pounds (weight). However, this is true (roughly) only on Earth. For example, something that is 100kg. (220 pounds) on Earth would still be 100 kg. on the moon but only about 37 pounds on the moon. That is because mass is constant whereas weight depends on gravity. For most of this, the distinction is unimportant as we all live and work on the earth. However, scientific purposes (e.g. space travel) weight and mass are very different.


I was arrested yesterday for "drunk in public" along with my friend. Neither of us had drunk anything. I think it was a case of racial profiling. No tests were done on us to prove we were drunk and there was a least four witnesses to prove so... they also kept my wallet that contained important papers and about 275 dollars cash... I haven't got it back yet... do I have a case?

Since the nature of the case, that you were not intoxicated, and that no test was preformed, I would take the Sheriff or Sheriff's to court, in the majority of the outcome of them actually going to court (depends on the county and state) but a lot of legal athority do not show up for court, they are not required. Since there was that $275 cash and important papers that didn't get recived they might end up in court. Usually if they don't show up to court your outcome is at a greater advantage for you.

What is the real answer to the classical riddle, if a tree falls and there is no one around to hear it. Does it make a sound. Just curios to see different answers. Thanks answers will be highly appreciated.

The point of the riddle is that perception controls reality, because nothing is assured until we perceive it. It should be modified to say, "If a tree falls in the forest and there are no people or recording devices present, can you have any clue as to the sound it made?" It is an answerless riddle by definition.


i was havin problems growin my hair back out  and not only that  it was thinnin so i was advised by  2 close friends to try some sulfer products such  as maybe a sulfer based moisterizer, are some sulfer oils are  even sulfer pills so before i start i need to  know from some one thats tried are  experienced to give me some advise thanks..

Sulfer products are for garden and farm fertilizers and for pest control in and above ground on such, but for thinning hair I recommend that you contact you hair styelist or barbar for remidies to prevent hair loss. At 82, I'm experienced with the prolbem.


With the recent drop kick by Patriots quarterback Doug Flutie, why is this such big news? They said it wasn't used since 1941.\n\nhttp://patriots.bostonherald.com/patriots/view.bg?articleid=119581

It's a drop kick.  A ball dropped at the the foot of the kicker...He has to kick it on the bounce. It is more practical, yet more more chancy. It takes the holder out of the game. Reduces the  players by one man. But the skill of making the kick depends on how well the kicker bounces the ball.... Great job Flutie!!!! Sorry you left San Diego!!!

Friend is female, doc is male. Doc is MD not PhD and is not the type to see patients with thier clothes off.  What is the harm?  Should she change doctors, if so, why?

i agree with cblrdy and molebeing,  doctors are a great source of care and comfort. when you are sick than cured that is a comfortable feeling, a thankful feeling, and a feeling of releif, i wouldnt exactly call the feeling a crush, more like admiration; because of the learning that went into making diagnoses simple or complex. just make sure she isnt confusing compassion with passion.

I'm a new resident, i have no credit history. nobody wants to give me a credit card or a loan that i can start with, i did get a credit for a car but with 14% intrest! seems like I can never get out of this circle, you need good credit to get a loan you need a loan to build your credit.

What you are saying has alot of truth in it.  It is hard at first.  but it will get better as long as the credit you do get is paid on time all the time.  \n\nNow that you have a car loan - pay it.  Pay it all the time every time.  after a little while it should show up (if they are legit)  If you did it through a small company they may not be telling the credit agencies... and then you will be back to square one.     \n\nI had that happen back about 13 years ago.  we got our first car loan and figured this would help our credit.  Well the wonderful owner of that place never sent in any info about us so it was never even recorded that we had that loan ever.... \n\nGood luck.  \n\nHere's some info.  Hope it will help you. \n\n\nDo you have a bank that you have any accounts in? if you do they may be willing to make you a small loan. Everyone has to start somewhere. (how can anyone ever get a loan if they didn't have credit? think about it... Everyone had to have a "first" loan - it's from that point that you will establish if you are trust/creditworthy or not) so don't blow it. Pay that loan when you do get it. \n\nTake it from me. I was young and foolish and thought what some people do. I racked up my cards and had the plan to pay them off slowly so that I could "build my credit" This is not what happend... What actually happend is I *** BUILT MY DEBT *** Don't attack your credit from this angle. Credit is not a matter of holding a balance. You will NOT get better marks or a higher credit score for holding a balance in your accounts. What you WILL get is more interest to way you down.\n\nIf you want to have great credit just remember not to be late on any bill - utiliies and mortgages included. Don't miss payments. Keep small balances if you must but try to pay them off 100% if you can. Don't live on borrowed money. Good rule of thumb... if you will not have enough money to pay your CC bill in full when the bill comes - you shouldn't be buying what ever it is you are looking at. Use your credit cards for their intended purpose. They are ment to be a tool. Kept in your wallet so that you don't have to carry around cash every where, and so that you can have an organized statement at the end of the month to see where you are spending your money. Pay it in full and after years of doing this it will gradually bring your credit score up and up. There is no FAST way to build credit. the most crucial factor in the equation is PASSING of TIME. As long as you are paying everthing by the due dates, with no misses You will be golden :) Time will keep ticking away, and your credit score will keep rising. (Keep your oldest cards open - even if you don't have huge balances on them - They still count towards TIME ) If you want to keep a steady payment history going from month to month I would use it sparingly and then pay it in full each month. \n\nCredit cards show on your report - they will either show that there is no balance or that there is a balance. So don't worry about them not reporting for several months if you don't have any outstanding debt. This is NOT a "ding" on your credit record.


At New Year's Revolution, do u think John Cena would be able to defend his Title against HBK, Kane, Masters, Carlito, Angle?\n\nWe have already seen brutuality of Hell in a Cell and Elimination Chamber matches.  HBK and Kane are not new to Chamber\n\nWho do u think would the next WWE champ be?

I think that Cena will keep the title.  Vince is a huge fan of Cena and has had plans to have Cena work with Triple H in the future.  If Cena was to lose the title though Angle or HBK should win due to the fact that they are better than the others.

...a black widow spider?\nEDIT: Note that you've already asked and chosen an answer for this riddle before.  But for the sake of it, a scorpion.  \nThe mighty one is the sun.  The scorpion is a zodiac, or a "sun-sign".  \nThe female scorpion eats the male scorpion.


He used to go out all the time with us and have fun but now he has turned into a homebody and only spends about one hour a week with the guys.  Please offer some suggestions as we've tried everything to break this recent trend.

Your dilemma is a tough one.  \n\nOn one hand, you’ve got Confucius’s Creed of “Bro’s before Ho’s.”  But on the other hand, none of your boys is going to step up and give you your daily tug job.  \n\nOn one hand your boys want to hang out, play bocce, and watch the Braves.  On the other hand, you’re dying to see “Sleepless in Seattle” again with your Honey.  \n\nWhat to do..what to do?  \n\nI’m sure your girlfriend will understand that you want to hang out with your friends from time to time.  Moderation is a good thing.  Why don’t you have a cookout with your friends on February 4th and buy all the beer and meat to make up for it?  It's the least you can do...


Is this because they want to imitate a dog when it has to take a leak, or does that raising a leg have some significance? Do girls do the same wind up? Is lifting the leg all that important?

Lifting their leg allows them to put the power of their legs into their throw, instead of just throwing with their arm.  This allows for faster pitches, which are thus harder to hit.  Girls softball does not pitch the same way, because they pitch underhand, and use their legs in an underhand motion.  It is extremely important, because without the leg power, a pitcher would burn out his arm completely, and give up a lot of hits.


my choices are \nA)acids dissociate to produce hydroxide ions, as their only negative ions.\nB)strong bases ionize almost completely yeilding a maximum quantity of hydrogen ions\nc)stationary solid ions are produced\nD)ions are formed by a dissolved molecular substance

A) is wrong because acids produce hydrogen ions, wich are positive\nB) is wrong because bases produce hydroxide ions\nC) is just strange\nD) is strangly worded too, but nothing is inherently wrong with that sentence\n\nSo, I'd go with D

I am doing a project in school, and my assignment is to find something that is fake, but is liked, or is well known by people. Other topics that some other students in my class chose included, WWE wrestling, Ashlee Simpson, and Politics. I chose Weekly World News tabloid, but I cant find enough information to write a paper. Thanks!

Intersting project.\nAnyway, here's a Wikipedia article:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekly_World_News\nHere's the WWN webpage:\nhttp://www.weeklyworldnews.com/\nAn article on fact vs. fun tabloids:\nhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3651/is_199410/ai_n8715384\nA small bit of info:\nhttp://www.museumofhoaxes.com/definitions/wwn.html\n\nHope that helps to get you started!


i need copy of this law.where can i find

I don't know what ss4 could possibly mean in your reference, but the text in HTML or PDF of Public Act 1981, 95 is at the site below.


yes i do,i have a skateboard and i like to ride it everyday.


Whats up with the love of my life.I sent him three text messages and he never response. i wrote him today saying happy new year and he did not respose it. why he did not write me back tell me please.

Some guys are just not into this texting thing like women are. Now, you said that he is the love of your life, does he know this. If so, then you have the right to be concern. You might want to talk to him in person about this. But in any case, HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU!


The next line is 312211. First line : 1\nSecond line describes the first line : One-one (11)\nThird line describes the second line : Two-ones(21)'\nFourth line describes the third line : One-two, One-one (1211).\n\nEtc.\n\nSo, the sixth line would be 3 one's, two two's, and one one = 312211

I LOVE IT!!! My favorite part is when he lets her be in 2 places at one time!! I watched the movie first, and the book seemed to be very similar to me if i remember correctly. I also like Shane West, and think he did a wonderful job.


what should i say to her? every time i talk to her she looks at me like i'm stupid.

I would not talk to her at all. Let her find someone else who will put up with being treated that way.

I am an employment law attorney seeking to build his solo practice in a major metropolitan area.  I generally represent employees on a contingency fee basis, but am looking to diversify my practice to including hourly fee "employer" clients.  Generally, about 60% of cases I would handle are not covered by insurance.  I am looking for some practical, simple steps to building my professional image in the employer community.

Solo practice attorneys  face special challenges marketing.  If you want to do employer-side employment law you’ll have to build a practice that targets this niche and appeals to that client base.  Be realistic in your approach.  You probably won’t land much work from fortune 500 companies because you lack the resources and prestige of larger firms, plus you practice is not scalable to the needs of a larger client.  Your best bet may be to do employment law for smaller businesses, especially those who are growing and just now hitting the minimum employee numbers that make the bound by federal employment laws.   If you are not working at full capacity and able do to so, offer monthly retainer programs to some clients – even if you don’t make a lot of money.  Entice them to spend a small amount with your each month for a set amount of access.  Once you get them used to having access to a legal resource they will get dependent on that access and use you more.  Plus it will give you a stable source of operating income, and a good reference to use when courting other clients.\n\nStart by looking at your practice as a brand unto itself.  Do you have a professional collateral material – modern business cards, letterheads, and a web site?  Do you office out of your home or an executive suite?  You have been in practice a while, consider updating your approach and your practice.  Examine yourself from the viewpoint of a potential client.  Join your local chamber of commerce and attend all the meetings.  Network with everyone small business person you meet and make sure they view you as a resource, even for simple questions.  Small business generally lack legal counsel – so if you can good contacts now when these new people need an attorney you might be the only attorney in their rolodex.   Seek out speaking engagements with the chamber or other local business associations and give speeches on employment law issues.  People always want training on employment laws, and each time you do one you will help build your reputation as an expert in this area.  \n\nGood luck!

i have this problem i can't hold back my ejaculation or my orgasim. i would like to stay longer but it comes quikly. \nand i m gettimg married soon and i m afraid that this problem may affect my relation. if yo have any good edvice plaese let me know.thanks

It will take some practice because you need to build up some muscle control down there so give this a try.  When you are pleasuring your self and you feel like you are about to climax stop stroking and squeeze your penis at the base of the shaft and try not to ejaculate.  It will be tough at first but the more you work on this you will be able to work the muscles that will help you control this problem.  It's similar to kegal exercises that women do.

what would be our options or what processes do we need to take so that both of us, my wife and I, would be able to travel and stay freely in the US or in Mexico?

As for Mexico I can say that Double Citizenship, it's allowed here, and certainly you can easily process your FM-3 form to work legally in Mexico. Please investigate at Secretaría de Gobernación (http://www.segob.gob.mx) the required documentation to do it.\n\nCeirtanly in US is quite more complicated (as far as I know) since Inmigration Agencies investigates "Convenience Marriages" for aliens to obtain legal citizenship.\n\nIt may worth the shot to investigate in both sides of the border (specially with a lawyer the pros and cons to do either way.

Someone said it should face the east. I live on the west coast, if that has anything to do with it.\nWhat is the best way? I am not sleepig to good now.

It doesn't matter if you are in the East or West. If you can, try to get your bed's head & foot pointing from North to South. This way the lines of your personal magnetic field (the aura) run parralel with that of the Earth.Using this method, there won't be much 'cross-grain' interference. I know it works for me!!


(I wonder how many more will still be asking a week from Monday?) This has officially overtaken "Why is the sky blue" as the question of the month.


We give child support every other week and are constantly being asked to provide extra money for events and other expenses that arise.  Are we obligated to give this extra money if we are already paying child support? Is anyone else in the same situation and how do you handle this?

First let me say that I have it on both ends.  I collect child support, and I help my husband with the child support he has to pay.  Now in answer to your question, CHILD SUPPORT is just that.  You are paying that money to support that child.  The courts set an amount that is what should be paid.  Anything you give over that amount is considered a gift.  You are not obligated in any way to give more than that amount.  I do not ask my childrens father for another dime outside of what he is court ordered to provide.  The bottome line is this,  if you continue to cater to the person receiving the child support and give them more than what is ordered, they will think they are owed that and will continue to ask for more than the obligated amount.  My husband, as I stated, pays child support and his ex wife is always TRYING to be in his pockets.  She says the kids need this, she cant afford that.  Well he is paying his support and she is to use that money to provide for the kids needs, not hers.  So if she is blowing the CHILD SUPPORT money on herself then she is at fault.  Now if he wants to give the kids some extra money just because he wants to then that is fine.  But I will be damned if he give her money just because she says the kids need because he has already fulfilled that matter.

No. Sometimes there are exceptions to rules, and I believe this should be one of them. Even though nobody was hurt, Davis saw someone threaten his wife, so should he be fined a quarter million for helping his family? I don't think so. Stern needs to step up and keep Davis on the court. No matter what the rules say about players entering the stands, you cannot fine someone for protecting their family.


im in college studying finance, but also have interest in design, my pal always like my designs,  but never try on advertising.\nwhat do u think the most important skill advertising ?\nwhat is the best advertise ? \nare they communication, design, or feeling come from the advertise ?

The most important thing in Advertising is creativity. Not just art, but the combination of the elements of an entire theme. It all starts with an idea, then you need great words, and a headline, then great images and then layout.\nIt is all about the idea. The big idea is king!

Someone stole my information.  Long story but used it. I don't want it to happen again.

1. Answer\n\nYou can replace your Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. \n\nAlso, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.\n\nTo get a replacement card:\n\nComplete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and\nShow SSN agency documents proving: \nU.S. citizenship (or immigration status and work eligibility); and\nIdentity.\nTake (or mail) your completed application and documents to your local Social Security office.\nAll documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency.


my democratic friend said its true, i dont know for sure.he showed me some photos,i think they may be photo shoped. because of this photos may stop being considered as evidence in court. so i dont know if i should belive the photos.

If your working out and it says to do 20 sets, would you do 20 sets 10 times each or 20 sets 20 times? And also whats the best way to get abs fast, well not fast, but I need ideas of what work outs i should do... I already know crunchs but the regular crunches work out your middle abs not the lower. So also whats the best lower ab work outs?

I'd never do 20 sets of anything.  I've been working out all my life and I'm 48 toned and slender.  Upper weights tone the whole upper body even the belly.  Also you could incorporate palotes that's for what they call the core, I think that's abdomen, fanny, and thighs.  My sister swears to the ball excersises for the lower abs.  As far as sets go if your doing 20 reps, 1 or 2 sets is plenty.  Start small and work your way up so you can learn to love working out.  Have fu!

I have worked in the banking industry for quite a long time now.  A couple of years back someone had told me of a website that you could go into to see what the current wage is for your current postition.  It compared to other area banks for the state you live in.  Does anyone know of this site?  I checked payscale.com but that wasnt it.

I have used http://www.salary.com  they give you a low - high and average pay for the job you have


I've recorded a bunch of mp3's at one quality level, like 192 i think, and i'm running out of space on my hard drive.  I'd like to reduce their quality level so they take up less space.  Is there any free software that does this?

usually the mp3 at 128bps is a good quality mp3\nalso you can go below this bps but the quality deteriorates.so convert them to 128bps\nby\nmp3 2 wavmaker \nbelieve me i have used it and it works fine but \nu have to first convert mp3->wav then back to mp3 \ni came across another Stream box ripper \nfind it on download.com or enfull.com or google.com\nit can convert file from 192bps to 128bps without converting it to wav.now after converting to 128 if u think to go back to 192 then there is improvement in sound quality.it works only one way


I'm not completely unhappy with them. The levels and effects sound alright. But the final mix lacks.. a full and present quality. It is somewhere in the mixing - because my one by one WAV guitar parts have been used in commercial recording projects and sound fine, there.

it may cost a bit, but run everything through an analog tube compressor, at a 1 to 1 ratio, and that will give it the full, rich,analog quality you seek


I'd like to know who was the worlds first sheriff. As far as I can tell, it started in Austraila and came to America later. That may not be accurate which is why i'm asking.

Sheriff comes from England. It is a combination of "shire" and "reeve". A reeve was chief magistrate of a town or district in Anglo-Saxon England.\nSo a shire-reeve was the chief magistrate of a shire.\nThe Sheriff of Notingham, in Robin Hood, was the Shire-reeve of Notingham shire, the kings chief representative in the shire.  He was more on the order of a county administrator than a law enforcement officer.

M1,M2,M3 are three massess M2 is on top of a table M1 and M2 are connected to M3 in such a way that both are freely hangin over 2 pulleys fitted on 2 ends of the tabke. Means bith are hanging at 2 ends of tanle and M3 centre of table.\n question figure :\nhttp://www.physics.najsoftindia.com/connectedmass.jpg\n\nBetween table and M3 there is frictional force\n\nNeed equation for combined actions \na)Tenstion of connected rope\nb) Accelaraion of system\nc)If a uniform velocity is there in the system state your equations plz\n\nThanks,

The answer above is WRONG. You can tell it is wrong because if you set m3 = 0, the mass has an infinite acceleration, which is unphysical (impossible)\n\nYou have to apply Newton's second law to all 3 masses in the system.\n\nm1*a = m1*g - T1\nm2*a = T2 - m2*g\nm3*a = T1 - T2 - m3*g*mu (mu = coeff of friction)\n\nAdd all 3 equations together and rearrange to get \na = g*(m1 - m2 - m3*mu)/(m1 + m2 + m3)\n\nWork the rest out by substution into the original equation.


when mutiple women live in the same house for extend periods of time do their periods really start to sycnranize?

Yes it is true!  This is what one site had to say:\n\n"Synchronous menstruation has been observed among mothers, sisters, and daughters who live together, and sometimes among women who simply work together. Of seven female lifeguards who started out one summer with widely scattered periods. Three months later they were all menstruating within four days of one another.\n\nA study of 135 residents of a women's college dorm confirmed the effect. Most of the cycle shifting occurred within the first four months and was usually complete after seven months. Fortunately for the dorm's plumbing, the whole building didn't synchronize, just roommates and close friends. As often as not, the women were unaware of what had happened.  Later research has suggested that synchrony is caused by some sort of scent cue, or pheromone."


There are 100 floors.there are two bulbs . both the bulbs are designed to the same threshold level(floor).ie for example if they are designed for floor number 20.then they will break if they are dropped from or above floor number 20. you can go to any floor (directly )and can drop the bulb.what is minimum number of chances(drops) to find the theshold of the bulb.

You can find the floor in a maximum of 14 attempts.\n\nDrop a bulb from the floors in this order:14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, 100\n\nIf the bulb breaks, stop and test starting from just above the last floor that it didn't break on, and go up one floor at a time. If the bulb breaks on the first attempt, resume the test from the first floor.\n\nExamples:\n14 (breaks), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13\n14, 27, 39 (breaks), 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38\n14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99 (breaks), 96, 97, 98\n14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, 100 (breaks)

If we are a Judeo/Christian society and believe that this is the promised land, why don't we promote a more liberal immigration policy?

As to whether we are a judeo-christian society or not I would say that yes we are, but we shouldn't be per the Constitution. And if we are then the promised land would be exclusive to that religion. That aside it is impossible to close the border even if we tried, for every person we catch there are 2 that make it across. The answer should be looked at a question first of why people are immigrating to the US. It for the most part is a result of people wanting a better life (and by better life I mean quality of life, not standards of life) due to policies that keep third world countries from becoming economically viable. To keep America secure today (due to a lack of options) the US needs to be economically dominant, we can not afford to have people who are not educated come in and challenge for jobs that have been lost to outsourcing or machines, and the decline of education and the wage rate has us competing enough between eachother as the gap between the rich and poor grows. The cheaper solution (other than building a giant wall that will be overcome or increased patrols) is to do tree things. The first being a national id card that needs to be presented if one were to apply for a job etc. However, if someone is sent back it isn't a big deal to keep trying until you succeed, or if thrown in jail an American jail is still comfortable compared to where one came from. The solution is educating immigrants that come here and allowing them to become legal so that they contribute to our economy. However, that will only entice more immigrants to come here and compete further. What we really need to do is look at our policies and attempt to raise educational standards in other countries so that they will become prosperous. Then it cycles back to our economy and whether or not we want to live a high standard of life or quality of life when our economy is challenged by the ones we helped create.


my hubby is 30 years old and just got back from a year deployment in Iraq.  When he left he had olive green eyes, but now is eyes are crystal blue! How/why did this happen??

because i was downtown with my friend the other day and we had taken the MAX, a kind of public transportation. anyways, we were walking across the street to the stop and this mexican guy was walking towards us and said somethng and he had his arms out like he wanted to hug us. then we just walked past us and when we were almost to the stop, he turned around and walked back towards us. it was so creepy. and then while we were waiting for MAX, he was standing really close to us and acting like he was with us, like he knew us or something, and then when the max came, he kept following us. we sat down and he sat right next to us. it was soooooooo scary. and then finally he left. what if he had followed us home or something? what would we have done then? what shoudl we have done when he was following us?

its good he left, you shouldnt go home. then they would know where you lived, which is the worst thing that could possibly happen.  the "MAX" whatever that is, a bus or subway im guessing in whatever city you live in, is a good idea as long as its crowded, but if he still followed you, i would take it to a random stop where there is a busy restaurant or store close by that you can get to by only using crowded streets, if he's still following you and follows you in, you can ask to borrow a phone and call someone to come pick you up. if he's following you on foot, he doesnt have a car handy and can't follow whoever comes to pick you up.  Or, if there are taxis where you are, you could just get one of those to either bring you home, or far enough away where he can't know where you went.


Just wondering because my stupid teacher doesn't even know!!

Yes, it is entirely possible that there could be planets in other galaxies with life on them. There is nothing preventing the same conditions on our world being found on another world. It doesn't matter what people think about "aliens visiting our planet" or whether we can know about life out there. It definitely is possible.\n\nAs for the comment from Iamtheweasel: The bible doesn't say that you exist, but there you are! I don't mean to be rude, but does the Bible really have to say everything explicitly for it to be true, or even probable? It absolutely does not contradict that there is life on other worlds. From a fellow Christian, please don't be so closed-minded, especially by using a "No true Scotsman" fallacy of definition to define a Christian as one who doesn't think it's probable that there is life on other worlds.


I heard that he did from a former pastor of mine and wanted to know if it was true

I suppose he could have been refering to this verse:\n\nRevelation 19:16 - And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.\n\nIt says written. I don't think that it means ink inside the skin but a topical written statement. It may be more spiritual than physical. I would ask the pastor to show you where in scripture that he bases that statement. \n\nIf God said not to mark your skin, Jesus surely would obey. He came to fulfill the law.\n\nLev 19:28  Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

is it true to say if a place where it has the death penalty in pratice generally has lower (serious) crime rates?

According to the figures on the source site, death penalty states have higher murder rates. So it doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent.


If the stock market crashed in 1929 because people were buying stocks on 10 to 1 margin, then according to what I saw in the last 3 years, 40% of the people had no 'right' to buy any houses with putting basically NO MONEY DOWN.  When real estate down ticks and people cant come up with the difference but have to move, the will forclose.  There should be a TREMENDOUS amount of people that will do this in the next 3 years or sooner, which should blow up some banks.  The rest should domino and spill over to all areas of business.  My question is why are we such a fan of bubbles, and why do we allow things to get so out of hand such as this bubble.  See a 10 year chart of any real estate stock such as BZH,KBH, LEN, etc.  Will we have any money left for food ?  I dont.

I doubt that it will be that serious. First of all, most people will not be impacted. The majority of loans made in the past few years were still 30 year fixed rate loans and most buyers made down payments. The small portion of buyers who were speculating and cannot carry the payments long-term will become foreclosures. Yes, those foreclosures will drive prices down in the areas where they happen, but not everyone has to sell. Only those sellers who are in a position where they have to sell will be impacted. Long term holders of real estate will continue to make payments and will not be impacted. If a property's value drops down below loan value there is no requirement that people will have to "come up with the difference" as you put it, unless they are forced to sell. The most likely bunch of investors that will be negatively impacted are the ones that actually follow the advice of "real estate gurus" that preach the no money down, flipping, and similar deals. I don't think they are a significant part of the market and will be glad to be rid of them for awhile. \n\nThe lenders are not stupid. They do expect some impact in places like California and Florida and are taking steps to spread their risk. Many markets are counter-cyclical and have not experienced any part of the bubble you are afraid of, so lenders are spreading their portfolio risk by lending in various markets. Texas is a good example, where appreciation has been low in single digits. \n\nReal estate markets are micromarkets, and do not behave like stocks. As any agent will tell you, location, location, and location are the keys to real estate. Good locations will mostly continue to be good locations in most cities. People will still like living in California and Florida (although the hurricane risk there makes me question their sanity). Much of the money driving the boom in these areas is foreign money. Few people realize that since the dollar has dropped almost 30% that non-US investors have been buying what they see as bargain property. After all, it is 30% cheaper than it was before for them. Many of these investors pay all cash. They will not be impacted by falling values. Unless the dollar recovers value, that money will continue to flow in. \n\nI've been through two real estate reversals, once in the early 1980's when mortgage rates actually went to 19%, and another in the early 1990's when real estate values dropped about ten to twenty percent in some markets. There was a crash in commercial real estate in the late eighties created by the Reagan administration changing the lending regulations at the same time they increased the reserve requirements for banks that led to the savings and loan bailout. That was coupled with a change in real estate depreciation laws, but this mostly impacted commercial properties (and taxpayers who paid for the bailout). Most people's lives are barely impacted by falling real estate values. Like I said the only ones that will notice are the ones that are forced to sell for some reason other than falling real estate values. \n\nBy the way, I own KBH and have made more money off of it in the form of dividends and stock payouts than I initially invested back in the 1970's. The stock has split so many times I have lost count. The stock can go to $1 and I will still show a profit.

The term 'fortnight' is often used in books but i cannot seem to find out what it means exactly.  How many days or weeks?

Fortnight is a British English term meaning exactly two weeks. It probably derives from a shortening of "fourteen nights".


Yes, interest can be charged.  Usually it is written into the decision, that it has to be paid in X number of days (usually 21-30).  I think the percentage is around 10%, however I can't quote that as a fact and couldn't find it online.  I know NY it is only 2%, and I have seen language in NJ regarding "interest that would be accrued in a high rate savings account" or something along those lines.\n\nHowever, the problem becomes collecting on that, as you need the court to issue that they are in default.  Then the court can order them to pay (which they did originally and which was ignored).  Beyond that, I don't think there is an legal recourse.

If she were to fall at random inside the rink, what is the probability she will fall within a given circle of diameter 8 m?

My computation agrees with srprise_me.\nThe area of the circle is 16(pi) = 50.26 sq meters\nThe area of the rink is 40*125.6 = 5024\n\nNote: If you use 3.14 for pi, 16*3.14 = 50.24 so you would get exactly .01.\n\nIt looks like Atheist lost some zeros (no comment about him losin' his relgion.)

Our local newspaper does not run Tarzan comic strip

Yes. You can see 30 days worth of strips at any given time at: http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/tarzan/  Another strip is published every day.


why is that? i don't think i'm out of shape. i'm 5'5", 110, and 14. i am on swim team and we have practice 4 days a week for an hour each and one day that is two hours where we do dryland and have to run a mile and on friday we have meets. and i also do taekwondo two times a week and take a dance class once a week. and i work  out at the gym on saturdays. i'm a pretty active person. but i don't understand how i can't even run a mile. the first quarter i'm fine but then i start breathing heavily and i can't seem to breathe. and my body feels really heavy. and my feet hurt becuase i have flat feet. i don't have asthma so that's not it. help?

You need to work on your endurance. Go for a daily jog and slowly step up your distance. Strat with a mile and every two to three weeks add another mile. Try some insoles, I recommend Superfeet, you can find them at a hiking/outdoor store.

I just finished ordering my TransUnion credit report and score online from transunion.com.  It says my current credit score is 757.  Is that considered good?  The reason I ask is because I was thinking about going to my local bank next week to apply for a $1,500 loan to get some much needed car repairs.  I have plenty of avaliable credit on my credit card but would prefer to get a loan so that I might be able to get a lower interest rate.  I always try to pay my bills on time and really need this loan.  What are my chances of getting approved with a 757 credit score?  Should I even bother applying or will I be wasting my time?

You have a good score. I would say apply for the loan, and transfer the balances to a credit card offering a (0% apr) -- citibank offers 0% introductory apr's for 1 year --- with no transaction charges.\n\nAnother thing to remember is that its not just enough to have a good score. lenders also look at what your largest loan was -- A history of taking and repaying large loans helps improve your credit also. I was rejected by Honda car financing when I applied for a $13,000 loan eventhough My score was 750+. They said that my largest loan was $2000, so they didnt think I was a good risk becasue I did not have any history with larger loans.


If a person touches the vaginal fluid of his HIV infected partner and then touches his own genital using the same hands/fingers..is there a chance of getting AIDS..?

yes AIDS is transmitted through body fluids, including vaginal secretions.


What’s the difference between a terrorist, rebel or a freedom fighter? At one point in history a number of American’s were considered terrorists by the loyal New York residents which had stronger ties to the British. As time went by and support weakened, they became rebels, fighting for US freedom.\n\nIs terrorism relative to ones location and beliefs?

I think the answer is in the targets.  'Legitimate' Rebels/Freedom fighters will use tactical and strategic attacks against a government to gain leverage for their beliefs, or to cause attrition of the enemies resources to force them to the negotiating table, the way the revolutionaries did.  Guerilla warfare is neccessary when facing superior numbers, but cowardly attacks on civilians is what makes a terrorist.  The public at large ends up being the target.  In these attacks the purpose seems to be to attract outside attention, and to try and de-stabilize a government by attacking public support for it's policies.  A government in power will always try and attach the most negative connotation to it's enemies, so in British eyes they were terrorists but if you analyze the methodology of their warfare they were not.  Collateral damage occurs in all warfare.  Warriors minimize it, terrorists strive for it.\nCivilian targets: Terrorist.\nGovernment, military, infrastructure targets: Lawful warfare.\nIf anyone were to organize resistance to an unjust government, even when that resistance is justified and even encouraged by laws of the land, that resistance would have to focus on legitimate targets rather than the population at large to be considered freedom fighters instead of terrorists.


my boyfriend wants me to join the military but i don't really know if i want to or not i have so many questions on it and so im unsure please help me and give me some advice.

What do you want?? Why is it so important to him to have you join? My point is that if it is not what you want to do then don't do it. Basic training is not easy (ask my brothers)and school afterward (if you do that) is not easy. War is hard. You could be called on to defend your home. Talk to a friend in the service, or your parents. Try for someone who will be honest. Serving your country is great, if that is what you want to do, then go forth with honor.


i can't get to sleep until late, but i get up really late and still sleep like 12 hours.  around 2-2.  i work 3-11pm and i need to start working out so i don't know how i will be able to get up earlier and get to sleep earlier.  im sick of it.  i need to get up earlier!

start working out and eat better (like healthier foods, instead of fried food, high sugar content food, etc.). it will help you get more energy. if you work for a high stress job, i also recommend restorative yoga. it can calm your nerves and center you better, which will imporve the quality of your sleep, so you won't need to sleep as much.\n\ngood luck,\n\ncindy

There are so many words that are spelled so as to frustrate your deciphering them phonetically... which are the worst?\n\nThaar or soo menee wardz that or speld soo az tuu frustraat yuur deesiifiring them foonetiklee... wich or thu wirst?

Victuals, which is properly pronounced vittles.  And was pronounced that way when someone decided how it should be spelled.\n\nThere are two reasons why English is so hard to spell.  \n\nFirst, when writing became fairly common there was still a great deal of dialectal differences (there are even now in the more rural areas).  People would write according to their local dialect's pronunciation, or according to the court's dialect and sometimes, like "victuals", they would go back to the latin spelling.  The spelling eventually standardized - with spellings from all the different dialects.\n\nThe second thing that makes spelling hard is how many of our words come from other languages. As someone said: "English doesn't borrow words from other languages. It knocks them down, drags them into an alley and rifles their pockets".  *grin* This is complicated by the fact that some languages have sounds not found in English, such as "Bach" (whose ending sounds a lot like spitting up a hairball).  Not to mention when people mishear a foreign word (there is no "curry" in any East Indian language).


I read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, from the book I got the advice that its better to buy up real estate, and good investments.  However he explains that he started with nothing, i mean nothing, dirt poor.  So how did he get a loan to buy a house without collateral?  How do I get a loan for 200K with no collateral?  I have an average tax rating (650) and have never defaluted.  I just find it hard for a bank to give a loan if you have no substancial income to back up the request for the loan.  Is this guy another Carlton Sheets, or will the advice really work?

I've read most of Kiyosaki's books and found them to be sound advice rooted in reality and not in selling seminars like many of the current crop of real estate gurus. I've bought real estate with no money down long before I read Kiyosaki's books (or even Robert Allen). When I bought my first 3 unit building I was living in my car and working on commission only. Keep in mind, the real estate IS the collateral, along with your good credit. If you have no substantial income, consider finding a partner, or group of partners who do. I used to split real estate purchases with another individual who would qualify on the loan with me. I managed and maintained the property while he just supervised. Kiyosaki's advice is some of the best out there if his objectives truly appeal to you. Remember, Poor Dad was content just being just an employee and I know many people (the majority probably) who prefer that life. For that matter there is no reason you can't do it both ways, especially if you understand Kiyosaki's advice about smart money.


i am 28 yrs old i fell in love with this guy he left to go back to nz for a while he did promise to come back. he then rang me and said it is finished between us i have 6 kids he let himself get close to now they are hurting aswell how can i deal with this pain

I'm 16 an have seen plenty of men break my mothers heart. Theres not an easy way to get over it. It wont affect your kids too long. They will eventually get over the fact he isn't there, but they will always remember him and miss him. You on the other hand will take time. The best way to handle it is think that everything happens for a reason. You probably don't have much time for yourself right? Take the time that you do and write a list of all the wrong and hurtful things he has ever done or said to you. Read it over and over again. You'll eventually grow to not love him anymore. Trust me it works. Also he's far away, how can you love someone you don't see? I wish you the best of luck! Don't get too depressed it effects your childern badly.

the allergy is ithcing swells that will dissapear after 20min if i dont scratch them.do you think it is a heat allergy or is it something else that is activated by heat?\npls answer!!!

I suffer from the same thing.\n\nIt's hives.  \n\nIt can be an allergic reaction - if you're having other symptoms of allergies like watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, then it could just be an extension of whatever you're allergic to.\n\nBut hives can be brought on by heat without an allergic reaction.  Nobody knows for sure why it happens in the absence of other allergies.  But heat brings blood to the surface of the skin and allows hives to develop.\n\nIf you scratch them, they will spread.  Sometimes mine itch when they're just flat red wheals, and sometimes they don't... but if I so much as touch a wheal before it swells, POOF! Not only does it swell and itch a lot worse, but it tells all its friends and neighbors, and it spreads like wildfire.\n\nI have had chronic hives for 6 months now - due to allergies.  I take a Claritin and a Singulair every day, and it still doesn't completely get rid of them.  I am undergoing allergy shots.\n\nOne other thing you can do is to get some Ivarest. You can find it at Walgreens. I've tried everything else on the market, and only Ivarest keeps the hives down for longer than an hour or so.  It's a little more expensive, but a tube will last me several weeks, instead of just a day or two like a tube of Benadryl cream.\n\nYou can also take Benadryl before a shower to help keep the hives down to a minimum.\n\nIf you don't get relief of them within about six weeks, go to the doctor and get tested for allergies.

Just  reply to that E-mail and then from that, they should actually contact you and figure out the answer to your question.  I had the same problem a few months ago and it took a little while but i finally ended up with the response i was looking for.  Although i did not try to call them...So i am sorry i probably have been no help.\nHope this helps, at least a little!!  Good Luck!!  Just be patient with them.

everything i do has to be done with perfection...for my parents, there's no room for error. they always expect me to be somebody that i'm not. i mean, they dont see me as their daughter. they see me as their trophy that has to be perfect so that they can show me off. whenever i make a mistake they really dont harshly punish me. but they would say things to me that would make me feel inferior and little..that's why i always feel that my best isnt good enough...

All parents are the same. And I used to feel the same way like you. But the things started to change once when I told them: "Sorry because I am not perfect! Probably, you have never made ANY mistake in your life!"

Flying is not a problem.  But the problem lies with her movement of the back and the stress to the back  If it is more it will give her pain, and restriction of movements. You have not mentioned how long she is having this problem ?  You said that she might have a herniated disk . It might be Myalgia also ,Better consult the doctor.

We know why Catholics revere Emperor Constantine - they made him a saint.\n\nBut why do mainline protestant denominations revere Constantine by following him (e.g. Sunday, Christmas, Easter, etc) rather than following the Torah-observant Messiah (e.g. Sabbath, Holy Day Festivals of the Lord, etc)?\n\nWhat good did Constantine ever do? i.e. what did he ever do for the glory of God in a way which is pleasing to God - not the pagan abominations which Constantine is best known for?!

This is quite long, I apologize.  According to The Encyclopedia Americana, regional councils instrumental in organizing Catholic churches in Spain, Britain, and elsewhere were “often called and dominated by the secular power.” General councils of religious leaders from the whole Roman empire “were unknown before the Council of Nicaea (325 A.D.),” called by Emperor Constantine. British historian H. G. Wells suggested that Constantine brought politics and autocracy into an already deeply divided Christendom. Wells wrote: “Not only was the council of Nicæa assembled by Constantine the Great, but all the great councils, the two at Constantinople (381 and 553), Ephesus (431), and Chalcedon (451) were called together by the imperial power.” But how could God approve of that, since true Christians do not try to mix their religion with politics but, rather, maintain strict neutrality?—John 17:16; James 1:27.\n\n“Later general councils were frequently overshadowed by imperial church politics and the rivalry of the major patriarchal sees [areas controlled by a bishop or an archbishop],” adds The Encyclopedia Americana. Since such church councils were marked by ecclesiastical politics and rivalries, they bore no fruits of God’s spirit such as love and peace. Rather, they were marred by fleshly works that included “hostilities, bickering, jealousy, . . . selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions.” With reference to works of the flesh, the apostle Paul warned: “Those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!” (Galatians 5:19-23, the Catholic New American Bible) Therefore, how can it be said that Christendom’s church councils have been approved by God?\n\nThe history of the Church under [Constantine’s] influence becomes now therefore a history of the violent struggles that were bound to follow upon his sudden and rough summons to unanimity. From him the Church acquired the disposition to be authoritative and unquestioned, to develop a centralized organization and run parallel to the empire.”\n\nThe determination to stamp out opposition led to dreadful atrocities. Most of those pronounced guilty of heresy against the popular dogma of the council were burned at the stake, suffering the agony of a slow death as a public spectacle—supposedly in the name of Christ!\n\nFor instance, the Council of Constance (1414-18) was called to end bickering over who was the legitimate pope and to deal with the heresies of Wycliffe and Hus. Thirty thousand horses are said to have carried people to Constance for this great event. During the council, John Hus was tried and condemned, then turned over to secular authorities and burned at the stake.\n\nWhat About Doctrine?\n\n.
