George Bush is 59 years of age.\n\nHe was born July 6, 1946.


Many people have pointed out that the Neo-Cons advocate policies that create a large deficit for the Federal government.  These policies are seen as being at odds with the long time conservative crusade for balanced budgets.\n\nThe common answer for this is the "Starve the Beast" strategy advocated by Grover Noruist president of Americans for Tax Reform.  This is a strategy of using large budget deficits to force cuts in the size of the government programs.  This would help create the smaller government which conservative ideology advocates.\n\nCurrently most evidence points to this strategy as being counterproductive and harmful to the economy.

There's a detailed article here about ideas for startups:\nhttp://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html\n\nIn a nutshell, he advises finding a problem that is intolerable and feeling it must be possible to solve it.  Not as easy as it sounds so his advice is well worth reading.

Take time for your self, in every relationship we are in we seem to lose a piece of ourselves, we need to gain that back before we have anything to offer in a new relation, find out who you are, grow from the experience. Some times I think people are afraid to be alone with them selves for awhile, it's ok to be single. I think I got your question right if not good advice any way I think.


I have already not too long ago applied for a pell grant to take online corresponding courses and I want to know if I can get any of that grant funds sent to me directly?...I will need some type of funds to buy or rent a home computer to do my classes online.

Federal grants such as the Pell are normally sent directly to the institution at which you listed on your FASA application.


Terra firma is negatively charged and stores a massive amount of energy. The ionosphere stores a massive amount of positively charged energy. Lightning is a current from one to the other. I'm sure skyscrapers have a current running though them. Is this current grounded or is it utilised in some way? I've always wondered about this and wondered if this is one of the benefits of building ever higher. I'm going to ask this same question in physics too. Thank you.

Skyscrapers are prone to lightning strikes that could cause damage if not safely conducted to ground.  The mast on the Empire State Building in NYC is apt to be struck more than once in a single storm.  The grounding system must be operable at all times therefore it is unlikely that the lightning that is grounded could be put to useful work.  Also, the lightning voltage is highly variable and may be as strong as 6,000 Volts.  Electric charge dissipated to ground on a clear day would also be lost.  Incidentally, the sky may have both positive and negatively charged clouds since lightning strikes from cloud-to-cloud are common.  Charge is a relative thing.  Airplanes are also struck while passing between clouds and must be able to conduct electrical surges across movable airfoils to avoid welding hinges in a fixed position.  Conducting cables or straps are used in some applications.\n\nAdded 12/21/05.  Actually atmospheric charge does cause a current to ground and also along a power transmission line, especially as a result of sunspots and ionization of air.  An electrical engineer buddy told me that it was a great nusiance affecting global communication by cable and causing power grid outages.  I imagine that the power could be arrested and utilized but is not cost effective or steady enough to count on.  Still someone may find a way.  As you say it is free although the equipment may be costly.  Good luck.

Bear with me a second, I know most people may say YME but I'm asking something specific.\nI have hundreds of mp3s on my home computer.  Is there a music service that, in adding those to my catalog of songs, would acknowledge that I have those mp3s at home and let me play the same songs through the internet?\nNOT like YME, YME DOES let you access songs you have purchased and downloaded from YME from any location but it does not let you access other music you already have on your computer.

try VLC. It allows streaming music over the internet.


I work at Tops Friendly Markets, and I want to disjoin the union, for numerous reasons, and my boss tells me I have to be in it to work there.  I think I remember from American History that You may work somewhere and not be part of the Union.  I need to hear a real, definite, answer, not a guess please.  Thanks, and good night!

Well, you dont have to join the union.  But, if the job you have requires you to be in the union then you have to stay in the union or lose your job.  The thing is, some jobs, like construction, you need to be in the union if you are working on government projects.  If you are not in a union, then you cannot be at the jobsite whatsoever.  See, if your company has a contract to push only union workers in there, then your boss can fire you if you dont want to stay in the union.  Thats because you cannot work for him then.  And he will be paying for your health benefits when you produce no money for him.  BUT, if its a job where you are NOT REQUIRED to be in the union, then you can say you dont want to be in the union anymore, and your boss has to accept your decision, and cannot fire you.  See, only 8% of the work force join the union.  The majority that do are older people who cannot lose their job because of family reasons.  But, whether in the union or not, if you work at the same job doing the same thing, your boss is required by law to give you the same benefits and pay just like everybody else.  So, thats the reason why alot of people dont join unions unless they are required to for the job.  Why join when everything else is the same?  The only difference is that you have to pay to be in the union.  See?  Its not worth it alot of times.  Just find out if your boss is required to push only union workers in.  Thats all you need to know.  And if hes not required, then tell him that you dont want union anymore, and he cant do anything about it.  But, if hes required, then you can either stay or leave, depending if you want union or not.

he says he loves me and wants to marry me, but had his photo on match.com

well first, is there any way you can tell if he's been active on this account or not? maybe he had it on there and forgot about it? just mention to him that you found it and was wondering about it...this might bring questions as to why you were there also, he might think that you were looking on match.com, or don't trust him. neither are what you would want him to think if it's not true. \nso simply ask him about it, if he isn't straight up with you about it, then odds are that he's always keeping another door open. men do this for many reasons, like fear of being hurt, finding something better, or that's just thier lifestyle. i wouldn't put up with it if he says he wants to marry me, because marriage is permanent. if he's talking about something permanent then he needs to be sure about it before he mentions it.


The movie stars Allen Payne, Directed and written by Craig Ross. I thoroughly enjoyes the movie. If you haven't seen it please rent it or watch TMC/Showtime.

Yes I have seen the movie. Gangsta flick. I Loved how hard and how tight their crew was. But you know how it goes someone in the crew has to mess it up for everyone. But the survival of the fittest definantly fits this movie!

I need to have an image perfectly aligned with the top of the browser and centered. CSS's position:absolute with top:0px won't cut it, as an absolute position doesn't allow for centering.

You could make your body tags look like this: \n\n<body marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 rightmargin=0>\n\nThis would leave no room at the top (0 px), and then you could just use the <center> tags to center the image.


I just started cooking in a rather enclosed space with no overhead fan (we just have a loose skillet, no oven). The space smells a lot like what was cooked for hours. Do all those food particles in the air eventually settle down on my stuff. I don't really want everything I own to smell like old food eventually. Any advice would be helpful.

Particles of dust are everywhere. As long as there is air to breath, there will be dust particles. And those dust particles can and will get anywhere, including on your stuff. As to what to do about it, I don't really know.


In the bible Jesus instructs us as christians to forgive "70 X 7" times whiche really means always forgive, but I wonder when we draw the line between forgiveness and standing up for oneself and not being a door mat. I love being generous but it hurts when that generousity is persieved as weakness and I get taken advantage of or someone likes me only because I can offer them something. Yes I know friends can often hurt us and still be our friends, thats true, I have had to forgive my friends a time or two, but what hurts is the habitual offenders who do it over and over again. So when is it love to forgive and when is it just plain time to rebuke them altogether? Don't you agree that it hurts when you know someone only likes you because of what you have or can do for them or your body or something else? Doesn't it hurt when we are not loved for just being us?

I can certainly relate to what you are going through.  I, too, am a giver, and I have felt so drained of everything after being repeatedly used by someone. Yes, it does hurt badly to be liked for only what you have or can give!  I agree that you should be quick to forgive, and not just when it feels right.  However, you can forgive someone but still keep a healthy distance from that person if they continue doing things to hurt you.  Someone who is TRULY sorry won't keep using and abusing you.  I would suggest you try reading the book "Safe People" by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. It really deals with this very issue and shows you how to safely choose people who are not going to treat you as a door mat.  In the mean time, go on forgiving, but set up some boundaries for yourself and don't allow people to walk on you.  Choose your friends wisely.  You can still love them, and pray for them, that they will come to see how they have treated you, but you don't want to give them the go-ahead for mistreating you.  If they are truly your friends, they will stop and never do it again.  If not, it's time to meet some new people.


I woke up with a full on kink in my neck.  I'm sure that it's stress related.  Seems like massage made it worse.  Does anyone have a trick that might fix it?

Isn't the death penalty just about revenge? About 'an eye for an eye'?\n\nAnd I'm not talking here about possible judicial errors that may lead to the execution of innocents.\n\nWouldn't life-long imprisonment be much harder than 'just' to die? Knowing that you'll never leave the prison you're in, knowing that you'll never be able to walk free wherever you want, that must be horrible.\n\nSo why would the death penalty be the adequat reaction?

The death penalty is not for revenge, its justice. Because those people on death row, took someone else's life, if they were given lifelong imprisonment they would never understand to the full extent of what they had done

What makes the DVD version "unrated" - is it worth getting the DVD??

It's great, some scenes are extended with added dialogue from the massive amounts of improve that they did and there are some little added scenes.  It's 17 minutes longer then the theatrical cut.


These are the only two possibilities... so.. cant we be open minded... free speech.. etc.

There is a difference between belief and the practice of verifying things by observation. I'm not one to say that science can address every aspect of what it is to be human. We need art, and storytelling, and music, and things that don't lend themselves well to scientific explanations. I could describe for you the mathmatical relationships between notes in a symphony, but that would be somewhat missing the point.\n\nEvery society has stories that have been told through the ages about how the world came into existence. Humankind has had a need for mythology to explain things about the human experience that are beyond our understanding. Teach all of it. It's a part of being human. But recognize the difference between mythology, philosophy, religion, and science. We have for the most part given up using primitive belief systems as the basis for, say, medical treatments. In most cases there is an understanding that science does a better job of predicatably explaining what will happen with, say, food poisoning or small pox than any of the other systems of thought that I mentioned. Schizophrenia is a more enlightened explanation than demonic possession, and has more explanatory power.\n\nSo teach the belief systems, but don't teach them as science. Evolution is not a theory, it is the basis of modern biology. For decades, modern advances do nothing but support what was already known. There is no reason to revert to mythology to explain things that can be verified with evidence. Keep your faith, keep your beliefs, whatever they may be, but accept the world we live in and the understanding we have of how it works.

For example, when 1 drum make 40db noise.\nDoes 2 drums make 80db noise and 3 drums make 120db noise?\n\nWhy ? or Why not? Thanks!

The Decibel is a logarithmic measure of sound intensity and cannot usually be added as simply as adding apples to a basket.  Also, different sound sources interact with each other much as the ripples on a mill pond when you throw in one or more stones.  At one point the ripples add and at another they cancel each other where a crest meets a trough.  Crests add and troughs add negatively.  Then did you us a large and small stone?  I think you get the picture.  It is complex.\n\nThe sound level in Decibels is the sound energy being emitted by a device and can be measured in a special lab with a meter.  That is different from the sound energy received by the ear (which depends on many things including distance from the source(s) and reflection of the source(s) from walls, etc.).\n\nI was told that the net effect of two sound sources was not purely additive but more like considering each source to be a side of a square or rectangle then calculating the diagonal of the figure (hypotenuse by trig where A2 = B2 + C2 and 2 means squared).  Three sources would thus add as the diagonal of a cube, etc.

When I read the ads I don't know one processor from the other.

First up, Intel.  The Intel Celeron or Celeron M on laptops is the slowest processor you can get.  Despite its speed of 1.4GHz+ it has less L1 and L2 cache of the Pentium D or Pentium 4.\n\nThe Pentium D or Pentium 4 for desktops are some of the fastest processors you can find, I said some, they are not THE fastest you can get.\n\nNow AMD, the AMD Sempron is the lowest end AMD processor you can buy.  It is faster than a comparable Intel Celeron chip but it is not as fast as a Pentium 4 or D, again due to its limited L1/L2 cache size.\n\nThe fastest processors you can buy are AMD Athlon 64 or Athlon 64x2 processors.  Especially for high-end multi-media and gaming applications.  The AMD Athlon 64x2's are dual core processors which can run two processes at the same time independent of each other.  It's like having two processors on one chip.  These are THE fastest you can buy.  But you will not find the x2 chips on laptops only the AMD Athlon 64, Sempron or Turion (their version of a mobile chip).\n\nSpeed is not only dictated by processor clock speed, it also depends on the amount of memory it has and whether or not it has a dedicated or shared memory graphics card.  Generally 512MB of memory is good, 1GB of memory is all the better.  A dedicated graphics card in a laptop has its own memory and does not share it with the main memory or ram.  A shared memory video card will take between 32MB and 128MB of main memory to use as video memory, clearly this does nothing to improve performance.\n\nIf you can get a laptop with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ or better and a dedicated video card and 512MB or 1GB of memory.  You won't be dissapointed.\n\nSome are saying that clock speed is the most important, I assure you that is not the case.  Clock speed tells you how much raw power the processor has but does nothing to tell you how much "work" it can do in one clock cycle.  For exmaple an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ can do more "work" per clock cycle than a faster Pentium 4 at 3.0GHz even though the Athlon operates in the area of 2.2GHz, this is due to the fact it has a larger cache and a better architecture but that is going way beyond the question you asked and might end up confusing someone.\n\nFor a comparison of 77 processors see Tomshardware below.\n\nHope this helped.

I want to find out other's computer ip address from my computer by any webpage or yahoo messenger.

Well if you are useing Yahoo messenger . You cannot  see the persons ip address because you connect to yahoo then the person.\n\nExample; You / ip. - Yahoo Server - Other ip\n\nThe only way is if you are transforing files to each other. So why you are doing that , pop open a dos window ( cmd in the run box ) and type netstat -an.\n\nThat will list there ip address

Because of the long and complicated influence from other languages as well as language 'evolution'. English is a germanic language. In 1066, Then french invaded england and we have a huge romance language influence from that. Then we have arabic words, indian words, it goes on and on. Plus some 'olde englishe' words were pronounce differently.  For instance I believe knight didn't have a silent 'k' originally. There have been many other vowel shifts and consonant additions/deletions that leave us with the mess we have today

Anything AMD go with an NForce4 based board.  As far as best?  There is no real answer.  But, I can give this advise.  Go cheap.  ECS and others make really good motherboards and lower prices.  Read the ECS reviews on Newegg to see.  Check out my link below.  Extra money doesn't mean extra speed.  It seems a $60 board performs equal to a $250 board.  So why spend the extra?


This is a question that, sadly, has been bothering me for a while.\n\nMy bf passes wind more than any human being I have known! I used to think it's because he's comfortable with me, so now he just let's it go, but it's still in excess! He isn't constipated because I know for a fact he goes 2 or 3 times in the morning (a lot as well!). Is this normal? Is he at risk of spontanious combustion?\n\n"Wherever ye be, let yer wind fly free..."

Flatus (passing of gas) is common but varies a lot between individuals.  It is possible that your boyfriend has a medical problem (like a food allergy, lactose intolerance, or difficulty digesting bean products), but it's more likely that he's just more "windy" than other people you know.  If he has other associated symptoms (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain) then he should see a doctor and get checked out.  If it's a "simple" digestion problem, he can try eliminating foods one by one (try dairy products first) and see if that helps.  There are also over-the-counter remedies for some problems (like Bean-O, for helping to digest bean products).


I'm a first time buyer, I make a decent wage and I'm in the process of paying off all past due bills.  How tough is it to buy a house?

rent to own is not a bad idea, although there are SOME bad people involved in the business.  My advice: if you are looking at a "rent to own" house, look at some other houses for sale in the neighborhood that are not "rent to own", and look at some other house that are for rent.  \n\nRule of thumb: If the price of the rent to own house is not too much more than the price of similar houses that are not rent to own; and if the rent on the rent to own house is not too much more than the rent on a similar house, then its a good deal.  But if the "rent" is twice the going rent in the neighborhood, you're better off renting for a few years until you get your credit back up.


Is anyone out there really making money on the internet? \nIt's been said that 99& of the online advertisements for online opportunities are just a scam - Does anyone know of the 1% that are legitimate?

Hi Joe,\n\nI´ve tried alot of different ways to make money online over the past "painful" 2 years and theres alot of crap out there that just doesn´t work, it´s amazing how they can keep getting awy with it! Now after soooo many disappointments I´m using Data Entry Pro and it´s now making me money (finally!) online.\n\nAnyway, basically you sign up with them and then once your logged in you just fill in as many forms as you like in their members section and you get paid for each one. I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $250-$350. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra income stream aswell as my full time job so I only work on it for around an hour each night.\n\nYou do have to be prepared to spend a little money though if you want to do anything online like this but it´s already been worth it for me.\n\nHere`s the link you can get them at anyway -> www.protry.com \n\nHope this helps!\nGoodluck,\nDave

Too many people are hurt by this relationship and no one ever accepted it.  The feelings are still ther and have been for 4 years.  Do we do the right thing or are we suppose to be happy?

if you LOVE someone , you will neveer think about if he/she is the right one or not , you will just live so happy and enjoying him/her .... so if you are in that situation , keep on with it because it's your happiness , because questing for the right one , even if you find her , you will feel safe with her but not satisfied , feel ok but not crazy about her , and believe me man , that's the real misery ... man , dont go for the RIGHT ONE , go for your heart , and even if it comes to imposible situation with her and you MUST leave her , go after your heart again and again , but never just choose the right one , she will be right but you will be wrong

A question for my Physics exam tomorrow.

you need to know how much energy the appliance consumes, and the cost of that energy.  for instance:\n\nif i use a space heater, i can look on the back and see it is rated at 1500 Watts.  if i use it for 2 hours, then i have used 2*1500 = 3000 Watt-hours or 3 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy to power the space heater.\n\nif the power company sells me electricity at 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is pretty typical, then running my space heater for 2 hours costs 15 cents.


Do people proof read their questions before submitting? Is yahoo answers available in other countries because some people seem to have a language problem.

Unfortunately, many people who use IM have developed the ability to ignore and even welcome bad spelling, grammar, and even coherence in their writing. It's a very disappointing problem, and I don't think it's going to go away any time soon. It's like they just don't see the need to write full sentences if there are no consequences for it, and the behavior of their peers just reinforces it.\n\n*sigh*\n\nYou can also tell that for many Yahoo Answers users, English is not their first (and in some cases second or third either) language. As long as I can make out a readable, intelligent question or answer, I don't mind so much if their writing is not perfect.


Can I change my 82810 Video Adapter with a Video Adapter of 82845 or any other higher motherboard.

This is an on-board video adaptor.  Meaning it's built onto the motherboard.  The best way to upgrade is to see if your motherboard has an available AGP or PCO slot to install a new video card.

Pick a simple language like Java to get your feet wet study up on threading and synchronization. I've included a decent link in my sources to educate you.  Once you've mastered that move on to the IEEE studies, look up Grid Computing, read about Blue Gene etc.


I am thinking a nice bottle of wine, but hoping for more creative ideas.  Suggestions for a specific type of wine would work, too.

Meaning its good almost for every part of your body?

I think so. To swim, you need to use all of your muscles and, depending on what stroke you do, it can be a really good excercise for certain muscles. Also, there are lots of differant levels of swimming that will challenge you more as you learn.

Since Howard Dean is controlling the Democratic Party, I do not think that the Democrats will fare well in 2008.  I expect George Allen, a senator and former governor from Virginia, to win the election.  Any Democratic candidate will suffer the same baggage that has bogged down all post-Clinton Democratic campaigns, first under McAuliffe's leadership, and now Dean.  As influential as MoveOn.org may be, Karl Rove and Ken Melman are just too politically savvy to let an election slip away, particularly when they're not facing stiff competition.


My friends are like 13 to 14 years old and they are real close to me.

Cookies are always good.  \n\nYou could make scarves - you can get a "knifty knitter" which is absurdly easy and quick; however, this can be a little pricy if you are trying to save money.\n\nYou could also make beaded bracelets, in favorite colors.  \n\nMichaels has a lot of kits and supplies; if you ask one of the salespeople, they should give you good suggestions and tips.


One of my computers on the network will not print on my HP 950C printer. It says User intervention. What do I do to have it work?

Perhaps it's out of paper, or you have a paper jam, or it's out of ink.


President Bush was recently in Philadelphia with his motorcade and "Cadillac One." Do they have several copies of this car that they use around the country or do they actually transport it to his destinations. If so, how? I can't imagine they would just drive it up I-95.

I went to the Norton Virus and purchased to download for $46 dollars and I really do not know what to do now. I would like to run a scan and have anything fixed that needs to be. I really don't know what I am doing.

return it!!! It doesn't work for crap!! I had norton in my computer, and a whole bunch of viruses and adware infected my computer...i had to delete everyhting and reinstall everything.  Best thing is to download ANTIVIR it's free online and works hella good.  So good that I haven't had any type of viruses in my computer, it deletes before it even gets in your system, norton will try to fix it once its in your computer!! Return it, get your money,and download ANTIVIR!!!

I have noticed that after crashes on my roadbike, wounds heal faster if my legs are shaved. So I was wondering if there is a technique for shaving your legs so it lasts longer. No wax please.

As you've noticed, shaving your legs aids in healing from road rash by making it easier to clean your wounds and reducing the amount of crud (dirt, grease, etc) that builds up on your skin before the crash.\n\nUnfortunatly you are limited to a few options:\nShaving: Requires frequent attention and some people get bad razor burn.  It's very cheap though.\nChemical creams: Nair or other brands "burn" away the hair.  It doesn't last much longer than shaving and can irritate delicate skin.  It's also more expensive than shaving, but is worth trying to see if it works well with your skin.\nWaxing: Painful, expensive, but lasts a long time.\nElectrolysis: Painful, extremely expensive, takes multiple sessions, but lasts forever.\n\nI personally wax because shaving irritates my legs; my husband (a racer) shaves.  One recommendation is to shave all the way up to your hips - don't stop at the bottom of your shorts.  When going down, you usually hit first on your hip, so make sure that area is hair-free.


Michael Jackson and the Childrens Mother have a debate going on with the kids coming over to the United States.

An appeals court has denied Michael Jackson an order granting him sole custody of his two children. \n\nTheir mother Debbie Rowe signed away her rights in 2001, but California's 2nd District Court of Appeals said that the judge in that case acted improperly. \n\nIn 2004 Rowe won a Los Angeles Superior Court case to have the custody order overturned on legal grounds, citing the then untried accusations of child molestation against Jackson.

They both have the same layout and interface, just different extensions so why did Microsoft developed two similar programs.

Microsoft Word is a part of Microsoft Office family of products, which has more features and costs more then the Microsoft Works family. Now I think some Microsoft Works bundles actually come with Word. So basically Office and Word have better features, therefore costing more.


I always feel like I need most of the questions on here interpreted for me.  Any theories as to why?  Or am I just too picky?

Here's why:\nWriting and Talking are very different. One of those differences is the time issue. You write something so that it's permanent.. the person who recieves it can recieve it any time in the next thousand years. Talking, however, takes place at an instant, and the audience can only percieve it at an instant.\n\nTyping, however, is a mix of the two. When typing was restricted to word processors and programming, language remained much the same. Once chatting became popular, however, typing started looking less like writing, and more like talking. Only problem is.. you can't type as fast as you talk! At least 99% of the population can't. Thus, you begin to abridge in order to go faster.\n\nThe other reason is because living languages are, well, alive. If they aren't dead, then they are constantly changing, growing. Forget online spelling and grammar. Look at english today. Go into your schools and listen to the students.. they don't speak proper english.\n\nIn other words, you'd best start getting savvy with how people speak.


Hosea 2:16 (NIV)\n"On that day, declares the Lord, you will call me 'my husband' you will no longer call me 'my master'"

The Prophet now expands his subject, and shows that when the people repented, the fruits of repentance would openly appear. One fruit he records, and that is, that they would then begin to worship God purely, all superstitions being abolished. It shall be, he says, in that day that thou shalt call me, My husband; and he mentions the word, husband, to show to the people, that after having been corrected, they would be mindful of the covenant which God had made with them; and in that covenant, as stated before, there was the condition of a mutual engagement.\n\nWe hence see what the Prophet means: he tells us that the people would then be no more given to superstitions as before, but on the contrary would be mindful of God's covenant, and would continue sincere and true to their conjugal vow. Hence, thou shalt call me, My husband; that is, "Thou shalt know what I am to thee, that I am joined to thee by a sacred and inviolable marriage." And thou shalt not call me, My Baal; that is, "Thou shalt not give me a false and heathenish name:" for the word, Baal, as I have said before, was everywhere in every one's mouth. But the next verse must be added --


In most countries of Africa, Asia, and South America where plague is reported, the risk of exposure exists primarily in rural mountainous or upland areas. Following natural disasters and at times when regular sanitary practices are interrupted, plague can extend from its usual areas of endemicity into urban centers. Rarely, pneumonic plague has been reported in conjunction with outbreaks of bubonic plague, and tourist travel to areas with reported cases of plague should be avoided.

The fan on my thinkpad T23 stopped working. machine won't start.\n\nCan I replace it myself? Where can I get parts and instructions?

You can replace it yourself but, the process is pretty involved for a novice person. If you have a lot of experience working with desktops and electronics you will have no problem.\nYou pretty much have to take the entire laptop apart in order to get to the fan. I've done this many times and it takes 20-30 minutes. \nThe PDF below from IBM explains how to remove and replace anything on the laptop in pretty good detail.\nIf you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself there are several sellers on ebay.com who will replace the part for $50 + shipping.\nGood luck.


I am an america soldier I want 2 volunter for Iraq me and many others like me want to go but were not getting the chance to go I was wondering why were not getting that chance when many soldiers I know want to go 2 go and many soldiers dont want 2 be there and it is causing a huge fuse

Well, those damn fuses can be problematic. Have you considered asking Allah for guidance?


Seriously, think about it. That's illogical! I don't want to start something, I just want to shut down my computer. It's not a noob question, just something realistic. I hope you will understand my point of view.

It seems really weired to Put the shutdown button in the Start Menu. I feel the start menu is to start every thing...including the "shutdown process"... and also it is more safe to put the shutdown butto there than to put it anywhere on the Desktop.. Just think about it!!!


Based on data I could find on World Bank assessments of per capita income by country and US poverty definitions, I would estimate that of the 180+ countries in the world, only the 46 nations defined as  "high income" or "upper middle income" are above the US official poverty level.  Keep in mind that poverty level is defined in part by cost of living, which tends to be lower in less-developed nations.

Hi, does anyone know the code to create a next button that will take you to the next page (As seen on search results). I know basic html link code but it would only bring you to one page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

there is someone who keeps on sending me emails and i dont want this person to send me anything how can i stop this ?

if any one have an info about this,, plz??

All you have to do is open the port.  If you connect a 1 to 2K resistor in series with an LED, you can connect the positive to the DTR (data terminal ready) pin 4 and the cathode to ground Pin 5.  The LED will light when the port is opened.  You can CLOSE the port, and the LED will go out.  RS232 voltages can be all over the place, from ±10V to more, so be sure not to overdrive the LED.  That is the simplest way I know to make the LED go on and off without sending any data.  The Port has to be set up for duplex communications (if that is an option) so the OPEN command will set the DTR bit in the UART.  When the CLOSE command is run, it will reset the DTR bit, and the LED will go out.  You can repeatedly open and close the port.


What can be done to correct this problem? Before I take it back to where I bought it.

A tv like that needs a home theater system to go along with.


What does this mean exactly, ive wondered for a few years now and all ive figured out is, it has something to do with einstein!!

Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.  It's a formula used to calculate the conversion between mass and energy.  For example, an atom has positive protons and neutral neutrons in the nucleus, so how do the protons stay together? well, there's binding energy which actually comes from the mass.  Also, particle physicists have been crashing particles together in a particle accelerator at very very high velocities, and the resulting particle is often bigger than the sum of the two original particles.  This is because some of their energy was converted into mass.  It takes a huge amount of energy to make a very small increase in mass.


Home damaged in 2002 Rodeo/Chediski fire. Have NO electric power or running water for over 3 yrs. FEMA lied to them for 2 yrs. telling them they would help them and get others to help them also. Home received $58,000 in damages. Were given $2,726 total.  SBA, HUD, Red Cross and many others walked away from them without giving them any assistance whatsoever. They were told they were TOO POOR to obtain any Grants or Loans to repair their home.(income $600 /mo.) Roof leaks, damaged ceilings, walls (mold) and floors. Wheelchair ramps, decks and steps removed need replaced, very unsafe, falls are frequent. Lost their Solar/Wind electric power system and generators. NO running water without power. NO working heat or A/C system, house is low 40's to high 30's in winter. Summer 105 to 108 degrees inside, conditions difficult for healthy people. Disabled they are in much pain and discomfort with these extremes. Can anyone HELP or know who might have some pity on my Dad and brother? PLEASE.

Get your facts and information straight and well- organized- include names and dates whenever possible.\n\nPresent the information to the nearest TV station with an investigative or consumer help program. Even if they don't give it air time, they can still offer advice.\n\nLook in the community services section of your phone book- contact...\n- free legal aid\n- handicapped services\n- elderly services\n- United Way First Call For Help\n- Habitat for Humanity\n- anyone else that looks good\n- low-income housing programs\n\nIf either is a regular in a church, social or fraternal organization, or even a bar, let them know about the problems and see if they can help somehow.\n\nHOWEVER... let's be realistic here and face a couple uncomfortable points. \n- Low income. With that income it is unlikely that anyone will loan them any money.\n- It sounds like they were living 'off the grid' to some extent (wind/solar, apparently no insurance, etc.) This always makes it harder to get help when it becomes necessary.\n- Living in their own home may not be the best option for two disabled older people. For example, I don't think they would be at the front of the list for a donated home.\n- The father's age alone will work against him in getting some forms of help. Few programs will provide lots of money for rebuilding a house that he might not be able to stay in for a very long time.\n\nAsk for the dream, but be realistic and thoughtfully consider the options and any offers for help.\n\nGood luck!

I speak about 3 languages and have found some good tips...\n\n1. Offer yourself true submersion. Try to "think" in the language. Try to find better ways to say things.\n\n2. Learn the idiomatic expressions of the language, even if you don't understand their structure. This is because it gives you a good insight in how one expresses themself in the language. For example, I speak Malagasy, the native language of Madagascar. When one needs to use the restroom while on the bus, it's proper to scream "People aren't chickens!" It shows a lot of how they speak. It shows a lot of their culture. Most importantly though, the way they say it gives a bit of insight into the way the express themselves and structure sentences.\n\n3. Don't mistake the written language for the spoken language. If speaking is what you want to do, listen to how people talk. Don't worry as much about regurgiating what you read. Just like english, our spoken language is a bit different from our written language. \n\nThere are numerous other tips I could give you. Feel free to ask more if you like. \n\nFor the record, I speak French, Malagasy, intermediate German, and a bit of Zulu.

If I was you, I would buy the Quickbooks program so that I could learn a lot myself.  Then get your free help, when you already have some small amount of knowledge.  And remember - you get what you pay for.


i will like to know sites that offer the best pay per click,earn per click,and read to earn sites. and of course these should be sites that pay out through e-gold accounts. pls, let this sites be verified and not scam sites.

I usually go to this forum called www.whydowork.com\nThey have got some good recommendations and most importantly, verified and are not scam sites. But to learn more about the pay per click programs you can check out http://www.wanginternet.com for some good resources.


If relativity states that things in different frames of reference (moving differently) have different spacetimes, then... \n\nHow do you know how old the universe is?\n\nHow can that "length of time" be absolute? (I thought space & time aren't absolutes, but the speed of light/laws of physics are)\n\nPhysicists say there's no preferred "frame of reference" (the laws of physics should hold no matter how you're moving) so depending on where you are, and how fast you're moving compared to other parts of the universe, wouldn't the age (and size) of the universe differ?\n\n(i.e. if you're moving close to the speed of light, wouldn't the age of the universe seem shorter?  Or if you're moving "as little as possible" I mean... if you're "still"(?) compared to, say, the ether...?  I thought the ether didn't exist)\n\nAny explanations or references would be greatly appreciated.\n\nThanks!

The answer is really quite simple:\n\nWhen we speak of the 'age of the universe' we are talking about how old all the rest of the mass of the universe would appear from within _our_ frame of reference.\n\nSo, to a cosmic radiation particle traveling at near the speed of light the whole universe would "appear" to be just seconds or minutes old. (As if such a particle could have perception, which it cannot).\n\nYet we, all living on the same planet and having less than a thousand mile-per-hour difference in our respective velocities, are unable to notice the effect of Relativity.


Do the company issue checks payable to your name? Or payable to CASH?

It depends on the amount to be paid to you.  Just about anything less than $20.00, they will actually send cash in the mail, anything over that and they will send a check.  The check will be from the Survey Company and they will need your real name.  Most Survey companies are extremely reputable but if you have concerns - get on the web and check them out.  If they are truly legitamate they will have a contact area with a real phone number - call them up and "grill them"

My best friend and I always wondered if there where any good American jokes.

Just try a web search, for example you'll find sites like these:\n\nhttp://www.jokefile.co.uk/odds/american.html\nhttp://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/87/2094.27.html\nhttp://www.geocities.com/seandlh/jokes.htm\nhttp://www.bizbrowse.com/jokes/American/etis-american-jokes.htm\n\nFailing that turn on CSPAN and watch the current government ;-)


Nearly every branch of government in the US is controlled by Christians, there are no national holidays for any religion besides Christianity.  There has not been an openly Jewish, Muslim, Taoist, Bhuddist, Wiccan, Athiest or Hindu President of the United States, and all have participated in primarily Christian religious activities when in office.\n\nWhy then are vocal American Christian leaders pretending that they are "under assault" all the time?  Isn't this point of view totally disrespectful of people who have REALLY suffered oppression in this counrty, or is it OK to compare the struggle of Christians in America to African-americans struggle for racial equality or Anti-Semitism?  \n\nPS:  Happy Holidays.

Are you talking about Cristians or churchians?  Are you refering to people who go to church or people who have become born-again?  I'm a born again christian and I've experienced predudice on this point more than once.  I've heard people ridicule my religion as being a bunch of bloodthirsty, power hungry, hypocrites as they continue to refer to things like the spanish inquisition and the witch hunts as evidence of this conjecture while failing to acknowledge that it was the catholic church that carried these out and not the modern born-agains.  No christian today was alive back then and no one today was responsable.  All the people who instituted those things are now dead, yet people who make a religious choice are being held responsable, at least coloquially and are being seen as a monstourous and demonized collective rather than as individuals who deserve fair treatment.  \nHave you ever been told to shut the f**k up for defending something you believe in after it was being venemously attacked by your peers?  Have you ever been told that mentioning something you believe in is politically incorrect?  Have you had to watch the central figure of your religious holidays be ripped out of the context of them?  Christmas and Easter are christian holidays and mention of the one that they honor, Jesus, is considered politically incorrect.   Have you ever gotten a dirty look for what you are?\n Yes, many people in congress and the presidents are christian, however it seems that you choose to see this fact over the fact that they are individuals attempting to run a country.  As far as other racial battles, perhaps it's not that bad yet, but it can get that bad.  No racial or cultural preduduce ever happens all at once.  It usually takes time to build up.  However, if someone were to be sitting at a coffee shop and express loudly that s/he hated black people, they'd get stomped for being a bigot.  Take that same situation and have that person loudly expressing their hate for christians and you have people joining in.  It's not only seen as ok, but it's often approved of even though it's still bigotry.  Generalizing and entire group of people under one label and perpetuatig a demonized steriotype for that group is always the same thing, no matter who you do it to.

are men or women more persuadeable to cheat?

MEN. Most of the time when i hear of people getting divorced because of cheating,it is the man who did the cheating. A man is as faithful as his options allow...in other words...if he gets a chance ,he probably will.


In our county the judge is the uncle of the states attorney.  It seems to me thatthis would weigh in favor of the states attorney.  Are tere any specific guidelines for this.  I requested that the judge be changed, in my case, which was granted.  It did cause me some problems, though, because other defendents got wind of what I did and followed suit, also requesting a change in the judge.  This teed off the states attorney which, along with the local law enforcement, have harassed me for the last 10 years.

It's presumably legal, but it may not be ethical.  Depending on the state's judicial recusal standards, certain requirements may exist for recusal in participation in certain cases where the judge's judgment may be impaired, such as with a relative.  This depends heavily on local custom, bar restrictions, the judge's official recusal policy, and so forth.  Requesting a change is permissible and in fact preferable; you made the right decision, even if you're subject to harassment.  I've included a link that references federal policy on the matter of relatives in a firm coming before the judge, which is a related issue in a different forum.  If you provided the specific state, I might be able to help more.  I hope this helps.


From what I've read, transmitting data over the Internet for example, requires the transmitting device to distinguish 0's from 1's, if you will. I gather that having more bandwidth, i.e., having more frequencies with which to work, means being able to build a wave form, coded as a "1" for example, more quickly than would be the case with fewer frequencies available.  Is this the _phyical reason_ why greater bandwidth translates into being able to transmit more bits per second.

I think the previous answer is geared towards channel allocation and not bit rate vs bandwidth.  I will try to clarify the issue.\n\nFirst, you must understand how FM works and how a digital signal converts to FSK (frequency shift keying).  Therefore I will use a simple example.\n\nEach bit takes up some frequency.  For example, the bit '1' could take up 5 Hz carrier frequency on the bandwidth spectrum and '0' could take up 6 Hz on the bandwidth spectrum.  Therfore, there is a seperation of 1 Hz between bits.  \n\nIf I send a '1' followed by a '0' then on a meter I should see 5 Hz freqency and then a 6 Hz frequency back to back.  We could speed this up to infinity and therefore have these 2 frequencies transmitting all data at infinite speeds.\n\nIn the real world however, a '1' may fall around the 5 Hz frequency but not exactly on it.  It may be about 5 Hz.  Why around 5 Hz and not exactly on it everytime?  Because in the real world we have noise in transmission lines.  Noise can distort the frequency causing it to be a little less than 5 Hz or a little more than 5 Hz.  Imagine if the '1' bit is transmitted but on the receiving end it ends up receieved as 5.5 Hz.  What happens now?  It's not quite 5 Hz and it's not quite 6 Hz.  Noise caused it to move 0.5 Hz away from 5 Hz.  It is in the middle of 5 Hz and 6 Hz.\n\nNow the receiving end has to decide if this is '1' or '0'.  What are the odds the receiving end gets it right?  By slowing down the speed the 1s and 0s that are transmitted , you can hold steady the 5Hz or 6 Hz for that bit.  The faster you go, the less accurate the bit will fall exactly where it should on the frequency.\n\nSo, what are some possible solutions?  Well, you can slow the frequency down or make the frequency seperation larger.  For example, make a '1' be 5 Hz and make '0' be 10 Hz.  Now you have 5 Hz seperation between bits instead of 1 Hz seperation.  Now if the frequency of 5.5 Hz is received, the receiving end can determine that this should have been 5 Hz.  It's highly unlikely it was originally transmitted at 10 Hz.  Therefore, the receiving end detects a '1'.  \n\nBut what have you lost by doing this increase in frequency seperation?  You have taken up more bandwidth.  Every cable has only so much bandwidth and if you have several channels on a cable all transmitting at the same time, you need to limit the amount of bandwidth each channel takes up or you will run out.\n\nSo, therefore, since most companies don't want to backdown on speed to the consumer (you), then they upgrade their technology (i.e. cables) to higher bandwidth cables such as fiber optic cables.\n\nI hope this helped.  Others, please feel free to expand on this topic.  I've only discussed FSK modulation.  Other techniques such as PSK, ASK, QPSK, bit stuffing, NRZI, CRC, and FEC codes can improve bit rate over channels.\n\nYou can read more about bandwidth limits.  Shannon and Hartley came up with a theorem which still holds today and is used quite extensively.  I even know someone who worked with Shannon at Bell Labs back in the day.  Shannon's theorem is C = BW*log2(1+S/N) where C is the channel capacity in bits per second,  BW is bandwidth, S is the signal power and N is the noise power.\n\nWF\nTelecom Engineer


You probably need to charge it..if that aint it ionno what it is


you know what i mean every thing is fine except that.....i mean,why couldnt boys get it. all they would have to do is where a paded condom.

It is Nature Baby!\nWell, for one thing, it's your body's way of preparing for pregnancy. Once you get your period, it means that you are physically able to become pregnant and have a baby – although you don't necessarily feel ready!\n\nPeriods happen as a result of hormones released from a gland at the base of your brain called the pituitary gland. These hormones cause an egg to be released. At the same time, the lining of your uterus (or womb) is becoming thicker – like a soft and spongy bed, ready for the egg.\n\nIf you have sex while everything is in place, you have a good chance of falling pregnant – unless you use contraception (like a condom). If you don't have sex, the egg does not get fertilised and the uterus lining starts to break down. The blood and tissue from this lining comes out through your vagina over the course of a few days – this is your period.\n\nMost girls start their period between the ages of nine and 16. Between the ages of 11 and 13 is average, but everyone is different.\n\nPeriods usually start after other changes to your body have taken place, like your breasts and pubic hair starting to grow. At first, your periods may be a little irregular – you might skip a month or be late by a few days – but this will eventually settle down and come about every 28 days.


I'm not talking about things that we would regrate, i'm talking about like fighting with family or hubby things like that?????

By embracing and making th ebest of the present, and looking forward to the future.


I know I have triggered the physical addiction and every ounce of me mental, emotional, spiritual is wanting sobriety but the body and head is very loud.  If anyone has been through this on how to just not take that next drink please let me know.

Its okay its just a set back, there is nothing you can do about it now, but next time it will be harder and if you allow there to be a next time everything you have worked for and have gained will once again be in jepordy. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone is tempted at some point or another, you gave in this time...okay admit to that at your next meeting...you will be sober soon get some rest in a couple days you will feel better.


After Howard starts his daily show on Sirius on Jan. 9th, how many times will it be rebroadcast each day on Channel 100?\n\nThey will obviously have to rebroadcast it at least once each day so those of us in the western U.S. can hear it at it's normal time, just like they do now.\n\nBut I was wondering if anyone knows if they will rebroadcast it more than just once per day?\n\nI think it would be a great idea to rebroadcast it 3 or 4 times every day, so that those of us that may have missed it that morning could then listen to it in the afternoon or evening.\n\nIf it were up to me, I'd devote Channel 100 to just playing that day's show on a perpetual loop, until Howard & crew signed back on the air the next morning.\n\nAnd then that would leave Channel 101 to air nothing but Howard News, various wack-pack shows, fan roundtables, Heidi's Tissue Time, Crack Whore View, etc, etc....\n\nThis plan sounds good to me.....what do you all think?

I believe they said it will be broadcast 3 times each day.


I have always wondered when a program is being installed or updated, there is always a 'timer'...either a horizontal bar or a digital countdown, informing the user how much longer will the process take.  How does this work??  Taking into consideration some people have slower compters/Internet connections, it's very interesting how the timer is quite accurate each time!!\n\nAnybody know how this works??

The timer starts using an estimate of how long an average computer would take. Then, as the computer starts working, it uses the speed that the computer has gone through the completed work to figure out how long the remaining work will take. The numbers are constantly re-calculated, so it gets more accurate as it goes along.\n\nFor example, if an installer has to copy 100 mb of files, it may start out with an average time of 10 minutes to complete. When you start the install, it will say 10 minutes remaining (sometimes they will start without giving time remaining, until they calculate an average speed).\n\nBy the time 1 minute is passed, and 20 mb is already copied (in this example, the computer is faster than average). Since there is 80 mb to go, and 20 mb takes a minute, the computer will update the timer to read 4:00 remaining.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nMerry Christmas!


please help me, I am lost...I don't want to accuse someone of nothing, but I am sure there are secrets in her closet...help me find nirvana.

Looking to buy my first handgun and have narrowed it down to these two.  Any advice?

My first handgun was a PPK, but I've always liked the Glock 17 (The 19 is just a mini 17). The 19 is considered the best for home defense. If you want something for sport, I love the PPK. The new PPK is really nice. A major difference is magazine size: 7 rounds for the PPK/S, and 15 for the Glock 19. \n\nBut then again, you can always buy it just to show off.


I need the exact procedure ie how is it done in the laboratory

EWWWWWWWW!!! so nasty I know but I was just wondering! Also is there any way to prevent from eating them? yuck!

actually this is an old wives tale. Most people would say 7 a year. This is actually untrue. I read a scientific document on this and there is a specific reason I cannot recall but spiders will generally recoil and scurry off at anything moving....including movement from breathing. Spiders also prefer high and dry locations over damp warm mouths.


my child vomitted two times lasr night. she slept good. she woke about 1-2 times, but went back to sleep minutes later.  she hasn't eaten anything today what should i give if she decides to eat.

Make sure she drinks something like pedialyte, designed for rehydration.  Try to stay away from sugars, including sugary drinks.  Rice, noodles, soup, and toast are all safe foods to try.


I mean, I don't report to anyone what I watch (like most everybody, I'm sure). So do I (we) count in the ratings process?

Companies involved in the rating process select and monitor "representative" households to create a sample. In other words, they select what they believe to be a statistical cross section of television viewers. They record the activity of these viewers, then project total ratings from the recorded data.


My friend bought a couple of pairs of pants and i had to wash them 3 times

If you are talking about standard issue uniform pants, they don't put charcoal in them.  They do put charcoal in the pants that are part of the chemical warfare protective gear.  The charcoal is there to absorb and neutralize any chemical agent that might come in contact with the suit. The things are really dirty and messy, especially when they first come out of the package.

I have two goldfish and an algea eater in a 30 gallon tank.  After 3 years the water has turned cloudy and no matter what I do it stays cloudy.  Up until a few weeks ago it was always crystal clear.

I recommend getting a suction tube to clean out the rocks. These are inexpensive plastic tubes that you can use to remove sediment from the rocks. Remove as much sediment as you want, while trying to avoid disturbing the rest of the tank, or stir up sediment into the water.\n\nAlso, I recommend a weekly 10% water change. Make sure that the new water is the same temperature and hardness as the existing water.\n\nSince your tank's water is overly dirty, you may want to perform additional water changes. However, changing too high a % of water at one time can be detrimental to the fishs' health. Perhaps 10% daily water changes can be recommended at the most.


(A) You can save the life of a child that is about to die. You do not know who the child is or why they are dieing. You will never see them or get thanks for saving them.\n\nOR \n\n(B) You can save the life of an endagered species. You do not know what the species is or what is wrong with it. You will never see it or get thanks for saving the animals life.\n\nWhos life would you save?\nAnd why?

The endagered species.... Probably because I am an animal lover but also because while they both are precious this world is much worse off with the link of a species missing and if the species is endangered that means every one really really counts. (Not that the childs life doesnt count)...\n\nIts really a hard pick and if put in the situation my answer could totally change...


the different of angles the measure when the sun was in its zenith due to the shade it made on a stick a two different places. Yet this also happens on flat land, or if the earth where flat, so how was it? Was it that it the shade provoked on a stick on flat surface is actually a little bit different than that one provoked on a curved surface, and did they find this doing this or how did they find about the curvature of the earth exactly?

I'm not sure about the distance to the moon, but I can explain the rest...\n\nLots of questions here... \n\nFirst, they found out about the curvature of the earth mainly by observing the earth's shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse. You can easily see the Earth's shadow as curved and not straight.\n\nThe experiment with the sticks, performed by Eratosthenes, was to determine the circumference of the earth, and thus, how big it is.\n\nYou're absolutely right with the argument that the shade produced by a stick on a flat surface would be different than that on a curved surface.\n\nEratosthenes went with the [correct] assumption that the sun was so far away, that its light rays striking the earth would be parallel to each other.\n\nIn truth, this only occurs for an object that is infinitely far away, but the sun is SO far away, that this difference, from two different places on Earth, is negligable.\n\nSo if you have a flat surface, then no matter where you are on the surface, the shadow cast by a stick should be the same. If its noon, and the light rights are parallel, and the Earth is flat, then there should be no shadow no matter where you are on the surface.\n\nNow, Eratosthenes saw that at noon, in two different cities, that in one city, there was no shadow cast by the stick, meaning the sun was directly overhead, and at the same time in the other city, there was a small shadow, and measured the angle the stick made with the shadow. \n\nHe noticed the angle was about 7 degrees, which means its 1/50th of a full circle (360 degrees). Therefore, the two cities were 1/50th the way around the globe. Knowing how far the cities were, he multiplied their distance by 50 and got the distance around the globe. c = 2*pi*r, so he could then calculate the radius of the earth as well!\n\nThat's pretty much it, hoped you understood it. Its really amazing how they could get the size of the earth simply by using two old sticks and a little thought! :)


It looks to me like Motorola is a great pick for next year with its RAZR doing so well and a couple other great looking phones coming out plus an awesome fairly new CEO who is gunning for Nokia and plans to increase Motorola distribution channel.  What do you guys think?

MOT is a great pick for 2006. Cell phones are still hot, and MOT continues to over deliver and under promise. There is a whole new wave of cell phone technology coming, hence, smart phones with music t.v. and God knows what else etc. Motorola is aware and doing everything they can to stay ahead. Furthermore, the stock is at a perfect technical level to buy right now. It is flirting with its 50 day moving average. I would buy it with a 10% stop loss and let it ride. HOGS GET SLAUGHTERD

We both know the woman and we think she would okay with it. We got pretty drunk one night and all three of us talked about it and said it would be fun and nice but haven't gone forward with any plans.  The next day we all said we were okay with it but wanted time to think about it since it is a big step. The following days my husband and I talked about it more and decided not to do it since it could be risky for our relationship and  we told her that. We are still friends with her and now I am wondering about it again because it seems like it would help make our sex life even better. Our marriage is good and the sex is good and our communication is open yet I wonder if this fantasy my husband and I both have would be okay to actually do. Neither of us fantasized a threesome with this woman just a woman and neither of us want it with another man. I was the one who initiated the conversation with both of them in the first place that night and yet I feel they both would like to do it.

Hello Myca. I couldn't help but pick out your question, for obvious reasons of course. Let me go straight into it. The quick answer is NO! (Not with a friend first!) YES! If you think the relationship can handle it with someone that ya'll can meet and get to know for that purpose. OK?? If you would like to know why then read the following.......\n First of all I commend you for stating that you don't desire a man in this, (I'll comment on that later). Second, you’re lucky to have a man that hasn't shoved the thought of this down your throat since you both met (even better since this incident). Anyway, "Is it a good idea..?" you ask. Well in this case it's one of those grey areas we all see every now and then. From experience and dealing in "The Lifestyle", as they say, I recommend that you and your husband start with an unknown. The reason for this is simply because should you both decide to go through with this if it turns awkward or it just wasn't good or it was!! See that way you hurt no one and you both get to figure if it's something ya'll would like to consider doing again. Now let me say this, please understand that men and women are totally built different mentally and emotionally. I'm not trying to drag this out or be your counselor but these are thing people should take into consideration before doing things that may destroy something that's perfect already. So make sure that you both have a very, very open discussion about the possibilities of (Jealousy, How you both feel before and after the act, Jealousy!, Can one of you stop if other is uncomfortable?, JEALOUSY!! and disease). I'll take it that you both are very wise and know your partner and your friend. So if you trust and KNOW them well enough to not warrant any foreseeable problems, then HEY! ENJOY!! But remember, the beginning is always Bliss, but look further down the road!!


* I want a job really bad\n*Jobs are fun and I love to get paid for them

Babysit. But get CPR certified first ( CPR for both infants and adults) so you can be prepared for any emergencies that could arise while babysitting and this will also help you negotiate a higher pay rate than someone who is not CPR certified.It is usually a 1 day-8 hour class with a written test and skills portion. It isn't too difficult for a 13 year old to pass either.Sometimes the YMCA or american heart association offer babysitting certification classes which teach you skills to help you while babysitting.


I am 23 years old and i have a five month old baby... i've been with my boyfriend for about two years... just recently finding out that he has cheated on me a few times... and tells me that now that i've had the baby i'm fat and unattractive to him, and that he likes only skinny women... he says hes not sure if he could ever love everything about me b/c i'm chunky... would you leave if you were me?

Absolutely, I would be out that door in a heartbeat.  You dont need this, and you certainly dont need to work hard to make someone love you who probably isn't going to love or honor you in the end.  Get strong and get out!


Three surgeons and a clumsy cook go camping in the remote wilderness. The clumsy cook stumbles over the campfire as he is serving the surgeons, injuring himself and dumping hot stew on the hands of the surgeons. The cook's injuries need surgical treatment. The surgeons' injuries are minor but open. It turns out they brought the equipment necessary for the cook's surgery with them, and they can use the campfire to sterilize the tools. But there are only two rubber gloves. Because of the different surgeons' skills, all three of the surgeons are needed to operate on the cook, in sequence. How can this be done without any of them being exposed to the blood of any of the others?

The first surgeon operates with the first glove inside the second glove. The second surgeon operates using just the second. The third surgeon operates using the first glove, turned inside out, inside the second glove.\n\nThanks for making me think. :)

Depends on what you want to use your laptop for, and how much you want to pay!\n\nAlso depends on choice of operating system - Windows or Linux or Apple !!!!\n\nIn my experience i suggest you take a look at the following which have performed excellently and good to high reliability -\n\n- Power Graphics, for Gaming - Alienware\n\n- For Multimedia: Sony Vaio\n\n- Desktop Replacement, including P4 processor - HP\nBut Heavy and Hot\n\n- Portable Laptop, long battery life, for business use: Dell\n\n- Ultralite portable: Toshiba Portege\n\n- Roadwarrior, Resilient, Longest Shelf and Battery Life, Most Optimized Performance : IBM Thinkpad\n\n- Rich schoolkid whose parents buy you a laptop and they have kind hearts but not too much idea of the real world or stuff on computers (or they work in education) - Apple :o)\n\nLowest reliability was Toshiba, then Dell, then IBM and Sony. Some Dell models such as Dell D400 (no longer available new) has been as rock-solid as the Sony and windows XP Professional on it has never crashed. Overall best performer is IBM Thinkpad series, but their speakers are not that good.

I watched this movie on video in the early 90's and have been looking for it ever since.  Each time I search a movie database, I find sci-fi films.  This was a military story, quite good, featuring the Russian soldiers as the 'good guys' against Afganistan (I think).  Has anyone out there seen it?

After watching The Apprentice, my husband (who watched it on DVR due to work) said that he thought Yahoo had offered Rebecca a job. Does anyone know if this, indeed, happened? Personally, I think it is the least they could have done since they'd tied her hands so much with collecting money for the charity that it caused her not to be able to complete the task properly. Just curious...

On the Today show on December 16, 2005, Yahoo offered her a job!!!! She said she would sit down and talk with them about it. \n\nSo maybe she will work for them!


how can  others take advantage of each other?

Some people do it just because they know they can.  It gives them a feeling of satisfaction.  They cannot feel good about themselves unless they bring someone else down.

i have a relative who is in debt for over $15,000 in child support. he and i had a discussion about it and he basically wanted to give up on life in general. just wondering if anybody knows of any programs to where they assist people with huge debts like that in child support.

I wish I could say yes there is a program that helps fathers.  My fiancee' is in the same situation only we just found out that the eldest child may not be his.  He can sympathize with your plight because he owes twice the amount your realitive does.  He has paid over 50% of his income for over 5 years and is steadily in debt.  Sorry I can't offer any advice but at least now you guys can know someone else is going through the same thing Good luck.


What year was the catse system put into circulation?

The caste system in India can be described as an elaborately stratified social hierarchy distinguishing India’s social structure from any other nation. Its history is multifaceted and complex.  \nCaste is a term, which is used to specify a group of people having a specific social rank and dates back to 1200 BCE. The Indian term for caste is jati, and generally designates a group that can vary in size from a handful to many thousands. There are thousands of jatis each with its own rules and customs. The various jatis are traditionally arranged in hierarchical order and fit into one of the four basic varnas the (Sanskrit word for “colors”).   \n--The varna of Brahmans, commonly identified with priests and the learned class \n--The varna of Kshatriyas, associated with rulers and warriors including    property owners. \n--The varna of Vaishyas, associated with commercial livelihoods (i.e. traders) \n--The varna of Shudras, the servile laborers  \nThe Untouchables occupy a place that is not clearly defined by boundaries and is outside of the varna scheme. Their jobs (such as toilet cleaning and garbage removal) cause them to be considered impure and thus “untouchable.”  Historically the untouchables were not allowed in temples and many other public places. In 1950 legislation was passed to prevent any form of discrimination towards the untouchables. Although legislation has affected the status of the people, they are yet very much a visible part of Indian society. \n\nhttp://www.mtholyoke.edu/~epandit/page2.html\n\nOrigins of the Caste System:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_system#Origins_of_the_Caste_System


Isn't that what Navy Seals and Army Rangers are for?  Shouldn't they be doing something to stop the bombings proactively?

The bombers often show great imagination in their attacks on the main supply routes around Fallujah. “We even found one cemented into the underside of a bridge passing over the main highway so it would explode from above,” said Sgt Anderson. Some devices are aimed not at convoys but at his men. The most ingenious so far was a solar panel, which when the dirt covering it was brushed aside by a US soldier looking for a bomb, would be exposed to the light, complete an electrical circuit and detonate the explosives. Just once Anderson found the person at the other end of a 400-yard-long wire attached to a bomb. It turned out to be a 12-year-old boy who was taken back to his home where his father was arrested.\n\nThe main instrument used for detecting bombs is a foot-long silver-colored stick, which is in fact a titanium non-metallic mine probe. Anderson and his men walk along each side of a main road. “We look for wires — anything which is out of place,” he says. “We identify metal in the ground.” This is particularly difficult in Iraq because the sides of the roads are used as garbage dumps, making traditional metal detectors useless. Lying on the ground outside the cement huts at Volturno — before the war a Baath party resort beside a fresh water lake — are 122mm and 155mm shells, the main explosive device used by guerrillas. The point of the shell is removed and a blaster cap put in attached by wire to a battery, usually of the size used in a motorcycle. “It isn’t exactly rocket science,” said First Lt. Ron Sturgeon of the same unit. “Aside from shells, almost anything can be used, such as a fire extinguisher container which will fragment when it blows up.”\n\nThe advantage of the remote detonator such as a cell phone or a garage door opener from the point of view of the bomber is that he can stand further away. Anderson and his men know that somebody is watching them and their methods as they make their way slowly down the road. Noticing that they carefully turned over rocks some guerrilla attached a string to a stone and concealed the power source in an old plastic water bottle with wires leading to several heavy artillery shells. Signals from car alarms can be scrambled but cell phones are more difficult to intercept (in this case the bomber simply phones the number of a second phone attached to a battery to detonate the bomb).\n\nNone of Anderson’s squad knew what they were facing when they arrived in Fallujah. “When we first came out we were winging it,” said Specialist Shane Thomson. One of the many surprises for the US Army in Iraq is that the little titanium mine probe has turned out to be more useful than all its gigantic battle tanks.


I have been losing a lot of weight lately - intentionally - through diet and exercise.  Can this be causing by hair to fall out?

YES!  RAPID WEIGHT LOSS CAN BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAIR LOSS,DUE TO DEFICIENCY IN ZINC,PROTEIN,BLOTIN. YOU SHOULD TAKE MULTI- VITAMINS AS SAID ABOVE. BUT ALSO PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL STRESS CAN MAKE YOU LOSS ABOVE THE NORMAL 150 TO 300 STRAND OF HAIR WE HUMANS LOSS NORMALY A DAY. GOOD LUCK


I am 21 years old.  I have excellent but limited credit.  My assets include a car that is worth  about six thousand dollars, an IRA worth about 8K and about 2K of liquid cash. I make around 38K annually. Around here (being the capital region of New York State), the sort of home I am interested in purchasing is between 75K and 140K.  I have the means and a solid plan for paying  my mortgage.  I am just conceared that I will be unable to get a mortgage.  And if I am able to do so, my lease is up at the end of March.  Does this leave me enough time?  This is (obviously) my first experience in this field and I would really appreciate some guidance.  Feel free to email me at L1VExFAST@yahoo.com or contact me on AIM at L1VExFAST for more information or with advice.  Thanks a million.

Hi I'm looking to buy a place also. You are somewhat younger then me, I'm 25. I think that a house is always a sound investment for people who can stay in one place for a long time. I would suggest talking to a real estate broker about your finances. But the real question you should ask yourself is, “At this young age am I ready to stay in this home for at least 5 years?” If the answer is no then I would continue to rent.


For example, if a cop gets caught driving drunk, why is it covered up, even if he causes an accident?  If a cop's kid and the garbage man's kid are both caught shoplifting, and are equally guilty, why is the cop's kid given special treatment, like not even being prosecuted, and the garbage man's kid is prosecuted?  And why do they intimidate the witnesses so that they will not testify to what really happened?

There is a certain  mentality that it takes to be a cop, and its not really a good one. People who become cops usually do it because in ordinary life they think thier above everyone else, so they look for a job to compliment thier mental pattern.

Is there even such thing as too much water???

actually the standard answer of how much water to drink is too standard - it should be 1/2 oz for each pound you weigh - if you weigh 200 pounds you should drink approx 100 onces per day


Has anyone had any problems with Phentermine?

I have to agree with the previous post. \n\nThere is NO drug out there that solves all problems, especially weight gain. \n\nThere is only one correct response. Burn off more calories than you are eating. \n\nThis has to be a LIFESTYLE change not a quick fix.


There are two...one with everything I dreamed for, all the way to her background and heritage, wits and sense of humor...and the other one is one who loves me more (i think).  Who should I pick?

neither.  you are not ready yet.  if you have to ask that question, just walk away


Where did he die? Who, if anyone, killed him and when?

He died in New York City in front of an apartment building after being shot by Mark David Chapman the night of December 8th, 1980.  I remember working at a radio station in Ladysmith, Wisconsin when the bells went off on the teletype with the bulletin announcing he had been assassinated.  That was one of the toughest stories I ever had to air because I had been a huge fan of not just John but the Beatles overall.  For the balance of the night I played all Beatles & John Lennon music...and will never forget that sad night.


What should i do in order to increase the sales from this site?

The design of the front page is inconsistant with the registration page.\n\nAnd, actually the registration page looks very slick, very professional. The front page of the site is bland, unexciting,  and a tad amateurish.


Can anyone apply for PGA Qual tournament?

I have looked at getting onto the European Pro Tour, and it's about 1,000 Euros to try in their Q-School, versus about $8-10K in the US.  You have to be a scratch golfer, or handicap of no more than "1".  Also, if it is your first attempt at the Tour, you are required to have 2 letters of recommendation stating that you are of character and skill and ability to play on the Pro Tour.

Which is better, and why?\n\nCSI\n\nCSI: Miami\n\nCSI: NY

I prefer the original though I'd bend towards Miami if that loser David Caruso would leave for a movie career.
