~~Man...I really hate it...from when i was born I have asthma and its genetic coz my mother has it too!! I am only 14 and cant let my life get worse day by day! plz help me ppl!! I beg u!~~

Please start by seeing a doctor.  If your family has good insurance (or Medicaid -- most states covers kids above the poverty level), I would start with an allergist or a pulmonologist.  If you lack insurance, there are often community clinics where you can go for treatment.\n\nAsthma is a chronic disease that isn't really cured but can often be very effectively controlled.  Poor control causes many issues (and you know that!) and can even be life threatening.\n\nHow is it managed?  The first step is to try and figure out what causes your asthma.  This can often be an allergy (although asthma can also be triggered by other things such as cold air and exercise).  Regardless of the trigger, a doctor will work with you to reduce that trigger.  (In the case of allergies, this can involve everything from covering the mattress if the allergy is to dust to nasal sprays to allergy shots to limiting your exposure to certain things).\n\nThe doctor may also prescribe a slower acting medicine to help reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.  This most often an inhaler but could also be a pill.  And this is important:  asthma seems to sort of feed on itself and treatment can help reduce the inflamation.  Also important is to understand that this will not stop an astma attack that you justt started having -- it takes days to have an impact.\n\nIn addition, a doctor may presecribe a fast acting inhaler (often called a rescue inhaler).  This is designed to be used to treat a current astma attack.\n\nSo the plan:  a) reduce the triggers that cause the asthma; b) longer term medication to help soothe the inflamation and reduce the severity/frequemcy; and c) a rescue inhaler when a and b fail.  If you find yourself using the rescue inhaler often, contact your doctor as the first two steps probably need refined.\n\nMake sense? Good luck!


I mean, you ever see an Angel, ghost, or something like that. Not just from read from Bible, book, etc.

No -- but I tried to test it.  I had a friend who was dying of terminal cancer, and she was very religious and wasn't very scared.  So I bought a combination lock and asked her to set the combination but not tell me.  Then, I asked her to do everything in her power to come tell me the combination to unlock it once she had died.   If the combination worked, then I'd know it wasn't a dream that I made up.  She promised that she would do everything she could do get a message to me, because she loved me as a friend and wanted to bring hope to my life.\n\nAnyway, this was 2 years ago.  Nothing.  If there was life after death and the dead could communicate with us, I know for certain that Jen would have sacrificed a lot to get a message to me.


Need immediate oral surgery, however all oral surgeons seem to want to be paid up front, and I do not have the resources.

Check in your area to see if there is a dental school in a university in your area. Temple University offers discounted dental care and the rate is based on what the student dentist charges. Check out your area it may be worth it.


I have found a school that offers a post-masters graduate certificate.  They say it is almost as good as a PHD.  Any suggestions

The post-masters graduate certificate is a degree level that is intermediate between the masters degree and the doctorate. It became popular in education careers where promotions or job grades depended in part on educational level. They recognized this "sixth year" degree level as one year of study beyond the master's degree. You also sometimes see it referred to as a "specialist's" degree because some of the early post-masters degrees were Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degrees. Other common names are Certificate of Advanced Study or Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study. \n\nThe utility of the post-masters certificate depends on what field you are in and why you want the degree. Some fields of study have the specialist level as the entering level for certification or licensure (school psychology, for example), in which case you would find it vital. Some fields (counseling, for example) might have the level of training required for licensure at the equivalent of the post-masters certificate level (60 semester hours) in which case having the certificate would be an advantage if you want to get licensed. Some fields allow you to specialize after taking a post masters certificate (i.e. Infant Mental Health Nursing) in which case the certificate is very useful. On the other hand, some fields really require a doctorate (most college teaching, for example) in which case the post-masters certificate, while good to have, won't fulfil the occupational requirement.\n\nI think the post-masters certificate is nice if you are working toward continuing education as it can help you make a more systematic study in your area of interest, and it appears that you have met a more unified goal than just taking courses.\n\nHope this helps.

Osmolality:  The concentration of particles dissolved in a fluid. The osmolality of serum can help diagnose several medical conditions such as dehydration, diabetes, and shock.\n\nOsmolarity:  regarding people with DI, osmolarity is the direct measurement of the concentration of dissolved substances in urine. In general, osmolarity is the concentration of an osmotic solution especially when measured in osmols or milliosmols per liter of solution.\n\nthere ya go :)

I've been seeing someone for a bout a month now and its starting to get serious, and i need to tell him that i have an STD.  we haven't been intimate and i'm scared to tell him.  i don't want him to think i'm a freak, cause i'm not.  he will get it i've were intimate but he won't die, but its still an STd.  please help.

You'd better tell him soon because if you pass it to them without telling them first that you have it they can sue you.  I'd tell him on the phone really quick , tell him you'll let him think about it and hang up nicely and quickly. If he likes you then he'll deal with it with you. Don't beat yourself up about it. It's a common problem and people are hopefully more educated about them these days. Good luck.


the ratio of seed to tree or sperm to corpse is phenomenal. I've been determined that this is ,atleast,a relavent notion ever since my 7th grade teacher sent me to the office for mentioning it. I am now 26 yrs old. even considering the decomposition process into the equasion it makes sense that the earth would be getting bigger. right? Think about all of our dumps and about the extra square footage that a coffin is left with negative space.

Why would earth be growing because of people and trees? Everything that life is made up of comes from earth and when we die goes back to it. Material is not born from thin air. All living things primarily are hydrocarbons.- we are made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, oxygen etc everything comes from the plants/animals we eat. Plants are made up of what they absorb from earth. A trees over the years through photosynthesis converts all the carbon dioxide it takes and water it absorbs into itself. It is made up of carbon and hydrogen and oxygen. That is why deforestation contributes to increasing levels of Carbon Dioxide. The carbon in the tree is released back into air when it dies. CO2 and H20 are gases and water but inside the tree they are solid Hydrocarbons. The minerals that the plants take make up some of their body. Our bones are made up of calcium which comes from milk which comes from plants that cows eat and plants get them from earth's soil.\n\nNothing we are made up of is born out of nothing, everything is from the earth. Earth's diameter might be growing because of meteors or comets but not because of us. In fact I doubt meteors etc that bump into earth contribute much to earth's mass and I am sure a something is lost into space by earth as maybe, dust.


A perfect vortex is supposed to be a perfect spiral in water that is stable, and can theoretically be sustained to achieve many ends, including oceanic excavation, and more.  I want to know why it is, and why it works.

Quoted:\n\nVortex flows show the sensitivity of water to external forces. The speed of movement of water in a vortex has a rhythm of its own; it extends and contracts in a rhythmic pulsation. The vortex is really composed of a series of flowing surfaces (like the ropes) all binding together as if by an invisible hand.\n\nThese flowing surfaces move at different speeds, slow on the outside and fast on the inside. The speed of movement of water in a vortex multiplied by the radius from the center is a constant. This means that forces in a perfect vortex approach infinity the hydrogen bonds of the water molecule cannot sustain the pressure difference and begin to stretch and weaken releasing powerful forces.\n\n....continued....\nWhen structured waters are made properly they are of immense benefit. Research has led to a number of other exciting discoveries relating to the benefits of structured waters upon the living system. These waters act as mineral carriers and more efficient nutrient transporters. Preliminary tests with cut flowers and other plants have shown a 400% increase in water and nutrient uptake when watered with structured water as opposed to the control group, which was watered with distilled water. What is true for plants may as well be true for animals. Preliminary experiments with vitamins and herbal extracts show a definite increase in absorption. Riboflavin, vitamin B12 is an easy vitamin to measure in urine. Testing with riboflavin has shown an increased absorption of 500% when taken with colloidal water versus distilled water.\n\nPlease refer to the site listed below:


I have worked for atty for 6 years, going on 7, for a big firm. Things have been going down hill from the first year - but it pays good so I stuck with it. He acts like he's totally helpless from printing a one page document to whatever tasks he can hand off on me. He procrastinates on everything.  Just yesterday he gave me 200 reimbursements to be turned in before the end of year.  He does that every year though. He is known in the office as a big pain & even the other offices in different cities know this about him. Resentment has been building up thru the years so I am somewhat cold towards him & just do my work. Thurs was my review & he said some things about me that were not kind, etc.  I felt very hurt, because I stuck by him through all this.  He couldn't ever keep a secretary. I called in sick the next day & i had all this end of yr work to be done. Should I just quit or wait & see what the firm does. I just can't take spoon feeding him on all things day in & day out any more.

Well a good law school would be the Dickinson school of law in carlisle, pa its actually penn states law school but is on dickinson colleges campus so shares the Dickinson name.  Law schools do have specialties, just as practicing lawyers do. These range from environmental law to corporate law and more

I read this somewhere, but can no longer find the article. The theory was that when the heart is on the left side of the chest, blood pumps from that side, causing the hanging appendage to lean slightly to one side. (I forget whether the same or the opposite side.)  So, a penis that hangs to the opposite side from what is "normal" is supposed to be a sign of dextrocardia (having one's heart on the right instead of the left side).  \n\nI just wondered if this theory was true. Please cite sources in your answer.  Thanks!

this is not true.  not at all.  my source is that i am a urologist, and i do not see much dextrocardia, but i do see it hanging on boths sides quite often.


It's generally said that it's healthy to drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. However, how does one count other drinks? Is a glass of milk half water? How about juice, that seems to be mostly water?

Normally, if you drink something that is not 100% water you wouldnt count it because the ingredients will affect your metabolic system by altering your hydration/dehydration levels.  On top of that you are presurring your kidneys into more work when water just helps them.  Unless its water, dont count it.


My computer used to be able to play .wma files on real player and windows media player. Recently, whenever I try to open a .wma file, my computer gives me an error. Is there a free way of fixing this problem?\n\n(My computer won't play streaming audio either, such as yahoo radio on yahoo messenger.)\n\nCan anyone help me?

First of all, try playing using VLC Player. If it dosen't work, then please post another question. I'll reply then, based on the symptoms of the problem. VLC stands apart from other player in the category of mutlimedia players. VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. In addition, it also can function as a streaming media server. Because of its open-source foundation, VLC Media Player evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently. Though the interface varies from platform to platform, the sparseness of the Windows version leaves plenty to be desired. \n\nThe best part is that it can even play parts of corrupted files, which other player cannot do. Even if you don't have codecs of a particular file format, it will play it.\n\nIts also very light on memory and the processor.\n\nThe only con of this player is that its interface is too plain, no sophistication, not that good a GUI. But if you are looking for some serious Mutimedia playing, this is right for the job.\n\nYou can download it from:\nhttp://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3003-2194_4-10410655.html?tag=tab_rev\n\nFor a good list of comparisons, check out :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_media_players


I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT TO REGISTER IN THE BANK FOR THE INTERNET BANKING IS RISKY? I NEED TO TRANSFER MONEY FOR MY BUSINESS MATTERS SO I AM AFRAID OF ANY LOSING OR HACKERS IN THAT MATTER. IF ANY RISKY IN IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW.\n I APPRECIATE YAHOO AND ALL MEMBERS TO GIVE US CHANCE TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS THROUGH IT.

I think any bank that employs the type of robust encryption that is present on the majority of e-commerce sites on the Internet will give you no cause for concern.  All data and information will remain safe from hackers.  Since banks at least in the US have a legal obligation to keep such data secure, they employ addtional security measures for your protection.\n\nAs far as money transfers, they are likely not even done on the Internet, but on private financial networks like FedWire, the method banks in the US use to transfer funds for customers.

I have asked several questions, and many of the replies suggest that I consider FIREFOX.  I'm not sure what it is - probably a browser.  Is it similar to Netscape and Internet Explorer?  What are its good features and its bad features?

Firefox IS a browser, published by Mozilla, that has been competing with Internet Explorer for the past couple years. It's actually a pretty cool browser that has turned out to nab more of the market than I think most people anticipated.\n\nGood features:\nGreat pop-up and spyware protection. This is also partly due to the fact that the vast majority of viruses and spyware are written FOR Explorer, which most people are running.\nProbably the best feature of Firefox is tabbed browsing, which opens up multiple windows within a single window so that your taskbar doesn't get crowded with all of the webpages you're navigating between.\nAlso, from their website...I think this is pretty cool: "Firefox 1.5 delivers easier navigation for everyone, including those who are visually or motor-impaired. Firefox is the first browser to support DHTML accessibility, which, when enabled by Web authors, allows rich Web applications to be read aloud."\n\nBad features:\nThe only one so far is that since most webpages are meant to be viewed with Explorer, I had limited accessibility to some web applications. For example, when Yahoo! introduced PhotoMail, I wasn't able to download the upgraded e-mail application because the service was built for certain versions of Explorer only. But as Firefox gets more popular (they just released an upgrade) I expect this to happen less.\n\nSo the people recommending this browser were absolutely correct! I have used it for almost a year now and love it.


yes, i have.\nshortly after my grandmother passed away, which i had a very hard time with. i had a dream in which she came to me and said that i needed to let her go and that she waould stay with me this one last night but then i needed to say good bye. the next morning when i woke up she was standing at the end of my bed i reached for her, but she was gone. i have not seen her since. some people say i was still dreaming and who knows i might have been, but in my heart i believe she was there with me.


After a snowfall, theses mysterious pink spots appear in the snow. I have only seen these spots in my hometown of Philadelphia. I have heard that it is possible that it could be airplane de-icer. I don't buy that. The spots are all over, under trees too. Plus, planes just don't fly only in Philly.

tell me why... im such an idiot on this field yet i want to explore... the sound of height, freedom and air and gravity defying excites me... can u help me?

Most airports have a so-called Fix Based Operator (FBO) who would teach you how to fly. They have a $50 introductory flight which is cool to take. I recommend you consult AOPA.ORG or beapilot.com to look for your nearest airport. I am a private pilot myself and assure you that doing your own flying is awesome.


40 year old man, divorced 13 years, single parent of 14 and 17 year olds...Haven't been in a relationship since my divorce and have let my life get centered around my kids to the point where I haven't even been out with a friend in over 10 years...to the point of not even having a friend to speak of.  This isn't because I'm an ass or anything, but because I somehow quit even putting any care of effort into that part of my life..Is this a situation that other divorced and/or single parents find themselves in?  Am I alone here???

It is the result of having a busy life.  Your children and job take so much time that you most likely spend your "down time" just relaxing.  It takes effort to make, keep and keep up with friends. You most likely have friends, just not ones you hang out with or do things with outside of work.

isn't it annoying how 'poppish' they've gotten? i mean, i like their stuff from b4, like dookie, nimrod, insomniac, etc., but after i saw that vid. i'm boycotting. billie joe out their screaming and touching hands while mike and tre are just like 'when will this finish so billie can bribe us for the next song?'

You are so right! Their old stuff rocks (I have Insomniac and Int'l Superhits!, looking for a Nimrod). I was watching "Welcome To Paradise" which is supposed to look like a live show, and the video never really focuses on any on member of the band. Billie Joe wasn't out there grabbing hands either, at the end of the video he was doing crowd dives and stuff like that, pushing the security guys around with the rest of the crowd. What I really can't stand in "St. Jimmy" is the shot of the little seven-or-so-year-old girl. Really-really-really-teenie bopper, my God!


Please I can't browse any iny intrnet page of this error ... help me what should I do

(1) Turn off firewalls, popup blockers and privacy programs just to diagnose.\n\n(2) Turn off all browser toolbars.\n\n(3) Check LAN settings under Tools>Internet Options>Connections, make sure that there's no Proxy server there (unless your ISP specifically says you need one)\n\n(4) Run a virus/spyware scan/clean.\n\n(5) Verify your actual internet connection and all of your settings with your ISP.\n\nIf you're getting "page can not be displayed" on every website you try to go to, your problem can be anything from total lack of internet connection to a rogue piece of spyware that has corrupted a necessary part of your networking configuration files.  It can be a tough one, but these steps fix a lot of problems that you describe.

Okay, so you're offered to spend the rest of your life happy with the person you love or to spend it with a billion dollars.  which do you choose?

Love. Believe me, once you get the feeling of love, theirs nothing like it. Don't get me wrong, I am materialistic. I would love to have a Ferrari, mansion, a billion dollars. But without someone you love in your life who loves you back, even a billion dollars wouldn't make a person happy for a long time.


but shes not babyish or condenscending either. should i say something?

I wouldn't worry about it, its probably just her pattern of speech. I call people "kid" all the time, even people older than me. I say it without thinking and certainly mean no harm, but occasionally someone gets up in arms about it.

I am doing a paper for class and really need this question answered

My opinion is...and remember this is only an opinion...I live in the south and most of the people around where I live are predominately Southern Baptist and I believe that why most people oppose homosexuality is that it does not look natural.  Christians oppose to it as sin.  As for myself personally, as long as they keep it to themselves and do not try to push it on others is fine, but I can't stand the flamers that go around and flaunt it....Hey we know you're gay so you don't have to put on a show....if you know what I mean.

I've been Googling and Yahooing all day to get the traditional or standard size of a Hachimaki, but there are so many different rubbish Hachimakis being made now that I can't find what the traditional size is. Anyone know?

The size of the Japanese hachimaki headband traditionally adorned for celebrations and festivals as a symbol of perserverance/effort, is a length of 85cm (33.4645669 inches.) The traditional width can vary, but is generally between 7cm (2.75590551 inches) and 8cm (3.1496063 inches.)\nThe hachimaki could be described as a wearable form of the popular American plaques, tee shirts and posters emblazoned with inspirational/motivational phrases. In modern-day Japan, the hachimaki is likely to be worn by proud employees at an office party, or by a new mother giving birth. It is popular  to customize Hachimakis with a phrase that best describes the reason for wearing it. Coworkers might present an employee with a Hachimaki gift to commemorate his or her promotion.\nThough uncertain, the origin of the Hachimaki may be related to its being worn by religious practitioners of harsh self-denial who believed that this lifestyle, at death, would result in the relinquishing of the enthralled soul and lead to its ultimate unity with the divine.

I read so many reviews of LCD monitors for gaming and hear how badly the monitor "ghosts".  When are folks going to realize that using the VGA connector is what causes the majority of that problem?  With VGA you go digital->analog->digital.  Using DVI it's pure digital all the way, which eliminates the majority of LCD gaming problem..  I'd like to see the manufacturer's stop making LCD's with analog ports on them.  Then the stupid reviews would stop.

Good point.  I have both VGA and DVI monitors and definitely notice the difference.  The DVI monitor I bought was very carefully chosen to minimize its price but even then I paid a $50-$100 premium for it over VGA monitors.  Which is weird since VGA must convert to digital to show the image whereas DVI doesn't so it sounds like less components are involved in DVI compared to VGA - go figure.  DVI is too complicated for dumb product & technology reviewers to notice, hence its relative unpopularity compared to VGA.  At least we're seeing video card manufacturers supplying S-Video, VGA, and DVI for their cards so that consumers are given greater flexibility.  If we can get consumers stop solely considering Dell and HP for their monitors, then we should see DVI becoming more popular (and cheaper).

I was just diagnosed with HPV virus.  I had a pap smear in October of last year and wasn't diagnosed with it then.  I want to know if it's possible that I had it and it didn't show up in the pap smear. If it is possible, how likely is it that that could have happened.

It is possible.\n\nAlso, it can take up to 5 years after you are infected with HPV before it shows up on a pap smear.\n\nTalk to your GYN for more specific information including percentages.

Probably your Windows Registry has grown too long with all the installing and uninstalling of software over the years.  Try cleaning it using the TweakNow Registry Cleaner.  Its safe and I have used it without problems (I hope you have Windows XP).  Another thing is you can increase system resources.  The following website provides good tips on doing so without adding RAM.  If the above steps don't help, add more memory (RAM) to your computer.  Happy Holidays!

...it never has an external link to it?\n\nFor example, if I never have a link to it from a website that Google crawls, will google ever find my website?\n\nAny sources will be appreciated.

I have to assume that you are trying to hide a website (or certain pages) from ALL search engines, not just Google (although I will cover both situations).  \n\nTo restrict search engines, both in general and specifically, you may use a simple text file named "robots.txt" placed in the root (main) directory for your website.\n\nTo block all search engines from crawling your website make a new file called "robots.txt" and put the following lines of text inside:\n\n  user-agent: *\n  disallow: /\n\nThe "user-agent" line would include all crawlers, while the "disallow" line would include everything from the main directory.\n\nIn order to block just Google (whose crawler is called googlebot) use the following:\n\n  user-agent: googlebot\n  disallow: /\n\nYou can guess that if you want specific pages to be blocked from crawlers just change the disallow line to the specific page instead of "/":\n\n  user-agent: *\n  disallow: mypersonalpage.htm\n\nThe above would block all crawlers from "mypersonalpage.htm" located in the root (main) directory.\n\n  user-agent: *\n  disallow: /secretstuff/\n\nThe last example would keep crawlers out of the entire directory "secretstuf"--no files at all in that directory will show up on the search engines.  The trailing "/" marks the item as a directory.\n\nFor more detailed information as well as more links to even further information, check out the sources link below.


a friend of mine is a vegetarian and says that he has noticed that it has become harder for him a get/maintain an erection...the only change he has made in past few years has been his diet...i have heard in the winds that this may be the cause...any takers?  P.S.  It really is a friend I am definatley a female.

I think this is highly doubtful.  You don't need to eat animal flesh in order to maintain your body.  You can not only can derive complex carbohydrates and fiber from plant foods, but plenty of protein and fat.\n\nIf what your friend says is true, I would imagine his problem is unrelated to his diet.


Only you and your daughter can decide what homeschooling style is best for you. But, here are a few basics:\n1. www.hslda.org This website will provide you with all the legal information you will need.\n2. Google the phrase "learning syles homeschool" This will give you some ideas as to different ways different children learn best. Observe your child to determine their own learning style.\n3. Research! The internet is chock-full of information on homeschooling.\n4. Try to find a local homeschooling group. (Sometimes this can be accomplished by asking the local librarian or perhaps the school superintenant)\n\nGood luck. I want to congratulate you on your wonderful decision to homeschool your child. \n\nSheri

Do they believe in prehistoric time and dinosaurs etc

There's no good way to answer this question.  There are millions of Christians belonging to thousands of demoninations, etc.  \n\nMany Christians believe in the generally accepted scientific explanation of the age of the eart and certainly believe that there were dinosaurs millions of years ago.  Many other Christians take a very literal reading of the King James Version of the Bible and believe that the world is less than 6000 years old and that if dinosaurs ever lived, they must have lived at the same time as humans.  There are probably as many different viewpoints about this as there are Christians.\n\nA better question might be, What does xxx denomination teach about creation or evolution?  The Catholic church accepts evolution as does the United Methodist protestant faith.  Some denominations feel much more strongly about this than others.  \n\nIn short, there's just not one answer to your question.


i want to go to a university soon but its expensive, so i want to know if community colleges are the right choice for at least the first year or so.

Yes, i think they have more oppurtunities

She is a favorite of my daughter and I want to keep an eye on who she is looking up to. I need to know if this is just a bunch of hype or if I should try to discourage my daughter from idolizing her.

Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff were supposedly fighting over Aaron Carter, but they've both moved on since then. You can't stop your daughter from idolizing who she wants, but you can use this as an opportunity to talk about your values and how you might expect her to act in similar circumstances.\n\nI'd be more concerned about her looking up to someone who dropped such a dramatic amount of weight so quickly!


on this cd joan jett does a version of the christsmas song "The Little Drummer Boy" that is awesome.


Yes. Definitely. They are more subtle than in fiction. But I'm not going to tell you how to use them.

In my previous posting, I mistakenly typed-in Green Berets when I really meant Delta Force. Great responses anyway!

Navy Seals as well as Deltas all have the capability to insert by sea air or land.  However Delta's in by invitation only.  Meaning not just anyone can become a Delta.  Seals are open to all active duty Navy men.  \n\nThe process of becoming a Seal for what its worth seems easier, (Time and paperwork wise, not physically)  however Seals get all the perks.  \n\nWhen it comes to Seals you get everything from un-FDA regulated performace enhancers, to pills that make you not have to sleep.  Aside from that you get extensive weapon training and the possiblity to earn more confirmed kills.  \n\nDeltas usually return to normal duties after war, however Seals return to thier commands (NAVY SPEC WAR BUDGET WAS 2 Billion Last year)  They get great duty station choices, and the respect that comes with being a Seal.  \n\nWhen Seals walk around in uniform, they are celebrities within the Navy.  The Gold Trident can be seen from 100 meters away.  The girls are all over them.  I dont know about Deltas, however I would rather be a SEAL.


John McEnroe, Jimmy Conors, Mats Wilander, Henri LeConte, Yannick Noah, Michael Chang,

John McEnroe - he excelled on all surfaces.  7 Grand Slams, 6 in the 80s at Wimbledon and the US Open.  Finals in the French and Semis in the Australian.  He had one heck of a personality and some classic battles with both Connors and Borg.


i been told that in the state of california it is illegal to drop out of high school even if you are 16 is that true

Ask yourself why you want to drop out.  Is it because your grades are poor?  Lack of interest?  Not being challanged?  Think of solutions, a tutor, advanced classes, maybe skip a grade?  I'd talk with your school counselor before you make any decisions.


I need to increase my FICO score, and FAST!!  What can I do??

There is no way to improve your FICO score fast unless there are inaccuracies on your credit report. Those you can challenge and have removed. Otherwise, you must take the time required to show lenders that you are a good credit risk.


Is cloning actually unethical or is it a idea hyped up by sci-fi movies?

A human clone, if succesful, is just a twin of the original person (but younger).  That's seems morally legitimate.  But today the success rate would be very low; some of the failures would be horrible birth defects.  So it would be unethical to attempt cloning a human today.  Eventually, if it could be done reliably, it would be ethical (but getting there from here seems awfully difficult).


My wife and I argue over bullcrap. What's  going on.

From a woman's point of view, because we are feeling neglected. We like to be given a chance to show we do have opinions, we like spending more time with you, and we like feeling like an equal. Sometimes trying to let you know this comes out wrong and we get frustrated and argue.

Compters are really expesive here in Argentina.  I want to ship a desktop computer to Mendoza Argentina.

Please take into account the taxes... some products add almost 50% of their value, so unless you can work around that (which would be illegal, by the way), maybe it's not worth it.\nAnyway, suerte!


I am an Army ROTC cadet in college and I am in constant contact with Iraq war veterans. Does the media really gain anything by covering the war so negatively???

I think it is more important for those troops in Iraq to have positive thinking so that they will have the basic support in their mind to complete their mission...sometime bad news didn't mean there is no good news out there, maybe it just doesn't have that kind of more value than bad news...so bad things may keep happening but good things do keep happening too.\n\nPlus while in the middle of war, there is also no time to think it is right or wrong, as the most important things is we must believe on what we do is right, this is the most basic thing to win a war as who wants to lost a war? once the American troops is inside Iraq, then no one among them will expect they are going to lost will be the correct spirit.

Kay, it's Christmas Eve and of course, I had to put this to the last minute. Every store is closed and now, the only thing that I need are three Christmas card. Three 1 dollar Christmas cards. All I need to find are three Christmas cards over the Internet and BOOM! I'm happy. All I need is a place on the internet that can let me print out cards. All the ones I looked for had the stupid dotted lines stating, 'fold here' or 'cut here'. All I need is a website that has nice, FREE, printable Christmas cards. I mean nothing to fancy. Something good like for a 9, 10, heck 16 year old.\n\nI'm asking with all of my heart, please help. If you do, I will hope you have a Happy Holiday. <<see I'm THAT desperate.\n\nHappy Holidays. \nex . oh

I really don't know. That is so rue it makes you wonder even more so you grow less intellingent as you ask questions.LOL!

If i wanted to clean my computer out to add more space do i need to clean off the whole computer, or how can i just add space to my compter?

yeah...just add an additional hard drive....either internal or external...then you can keep your existing hard drive with your current configuration on it....find an honest nerd to add it for you...the computer stores charge too much


do I need to convert the mp3 to something else ?Can someone point me to a step by step guide ?

You need to do two things: 1) convert the files into a cd-audio compatible format. 2) burn them to a cd. Many cd writing programs will do them both for you.\n\nIf you don't have a cd burner, you need to do that before you go any further.  If you have one, then you have two options:\n\n1) Buy a commercial DVD burning program like Nero that will make the process painless.\n\n2) Do it for free using the following instructions:\n\n1) Download and install burnatonce (http://www.burnatonce.com)\n2) Open the program and click the menu item Mastering > Audio CD\n3) Click "Add Files" and select the MP3's you wish to burn to the disc. The program will add a 2 second pause between tracks unless you uncheck that option.\n4) When finished click "Compile".  The program will create temporary decoded audio files of the mp3's (this will take a while depending on the speed of your computer).  When it is done it will ask you if you want to 'load it into main'.  Say yes.\n5)  Finally, click the big "Write" button.  It will burn your CD and you are finished!


Was scanning to get all the viris out of my computer and used this Stop-sign ThreatScanner and now I would like it taken off and I cant remove it.

Or, if you want to actually keep the program but don't want the icon in your task bar, go into the program & look under Options or Preferences (will be under something else on the menu bar) & look for something that talks about the program starting when Windows starts or removing it from your system tray. You can also go Run ->MSCONFIG & go to the Startup tab & look for it there. When you find it, simply uncheck the box & it should disable it from starting with Windows. I would suggest, however, that you should leave MSCONFIG alone unless you are VERY comfortable with Windows or that you don't click anything unless you are CERTAIN it is the right thing as the wrong change to MSCONFIG can cause Windows not to boot up properly.


I want to be a Registurned Nurse, but I don't know what to take classes for in College. I'm in Chicago, IL.

Registered nursing actually has 2 different tracks (there may still be 3).  One may become an RN by going to junior or community college for 2 years and then taking the license exam.   Another way is a 4 year BSN that will prepare you not only for patient care, but for nursing management as well.  Many of the nurses I worked with started out the an ASN (2 yr degree) and then went on to the BSN while working as an RN.  \n\nThere may still be some 3 year diploma courses, but those are going away.  Years ago that was the norm and there were many hospital based diploma courses, but of late they have become college based and ASN or BSN degrees. \n\nAnother route is to take an LPN course which takes about a year and then work as an LPN while going on to RN school.  \n\n There is a well established distance learning program leading to the RN credential at Excelsior College in New York (It was called Regents College and you still hear the term Regents degreed nurse).  \n\nCheck with the NLN - the National League for Nursing as it is the program accreditor for Nursing schools.  It will be very hard to get a job or a license if your school is not NLN accredited. \n\nAlso check your state's licensing board to see if they have any special requirements.


I was on my way to school on a community college shuttle bus when suddenly this smoking liquid started coming in through the floorboards. Everyone panicked and when the bus stopped there was a stampede to get off the bus. I was pushed out of the bus and stepped on a few times. As a result I have severe back pain to the point that I've had to go to the ER and visit an Orthopaedic doctor. He tells me that this injury may effect me the rest of my life. Do I need to get a lawyer?

Yes get a lawyer.  In fact in a case like this they will be free working on contingent.\n\nYou may have a case for negligence under tort law.  Only a lawyer can advise and take the proper steps to get you a remedy.  Furthermore if you can track down any of the people who actually hurt you in the process of tting out you may have a case gainst them too.


PC is off line,No activity lights or sound during this period

Well, just by this discription, its difficult to predict. But lets investigate. Press ctrl+alt+del and Go To Process Tab. There would be processes showing CPU usage. Press the CPU top bar twice, to show CPU usage in descending order. Don't close it. Now write the same command as you had mentioned, and while it is doing the slow working, go to the Process window you had just opened. Observe which process is taking unusually high CPU , excepting the process titled 'System Idle Process'. It might be a virus or a spyware. Report the process in your next question. I am waiting for a quick response from your side, and waiting for this question to be selected as a good answer\n\n\nAfter additional details.\nWell, I feel the way I mentioned above is the best to know that. I too have observed this thing with many computers, and the reason in majority of them for slow stand by or shut down was that they had a good amount of load. I don't remember the exact detals, but when you close your PC, it saves some info before shutdown. You can do the following:\n\n[Start] [Run] [Regedit]\nRegistry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro\nl\nModify/Create the Value Name [WaitToKillServiceTimeout] according to the Value Data listed below.\nData Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: WaitToKillServiceTimeout\nValue Data: [Default = 20,000 (expressed in milliseconds) Modify to preference.]\n*set to 1000*\nit will definately speed up the shutdown of your pc.\nExit Registry and Reboot


Rudolph Hess was Hitler's Second in Command. He was supposedly on a secret mission to England.  After the war he spent the rest  of his life in Spandau Prison. Why did he parachute into England and what was his mission there?

He was on a mission to negotiate a peace treaty with Britian.


I am dealing with a centrifugal or positive displacement pump where the setpoint can be change in this case increase the well level posibly to decrease horsepower used.

well, (heh),\n\nlifting a mass m of anything a height h against the force of gravity requires an amount of energy that is equal to E = mgh, where g is the acceleration of gravity - 9.8 m/s^2.  \n\nthe power comes from dividing by how long it takes to do this - power is energy / time.  so P = mgh/t.  that means the pump requires that much power to do so.\n\nso, if you decrease h in the above equation, the power goes down.  it is a linear relationship, so if you halve the height over which you are pumping, you halve the amount of power required.\n\nnote that this ignores the frictional nature of water, which is reasonable if the water is not moving very fast in the pump or pipes.  if it is, you have a more complicated problem.

im mrs usman pls tell me how to increase my chest

I think that if you ask your spouse your chest size doesn't even matter.  I have small breast but my husband comments on them all the time in a good way, and I am no longer insecure about them.  I think acceptance is the best cure to insecurity love yourself, plus you may want to think about the risk of implants, Is it really worth it?


I beleive that if some one want's to share their religeon they sure should be able to. If I want to tell people of the gospel I should be able to so yeah that's my opinion what's your's?

Alot of churches go by this scripture:\n\n1 Corinthians 14:34-35\n\n34  ¶ Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.\n \n35  And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.\n\nActs 2:14-22\nchanged all the above..for it is written:\n\nPeter's Address at Pentecost\n \n14  ¶ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:\n \n15  for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.\n \n16  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;\n \n17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, \nand your old men shall dream dreams: \n \n18  and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: \n \n19  and I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: \n \n20  the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: \n \n21  and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. \n \n22  ¶ Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:


Search you hearts, before you answer this question..\n\nFor those who do not believe God and His son Jesus are real and satan is not real..why do you curse others in God's name and not the devils name?

Because there is power in the name of Jesus, and there is power in the title of God.


I'm moving to Utah and I was just curious what I would need to do.

Contact fire departments near and in the town you want to live and ask them what they require. Some are volunteer and others are for pay but all require training.


With the news of the torture in Afghanistan prisons as well as in Guantanamo Bay, some are saying that this is a war crime and punishable under the world court.  Will there be charges levied or will political forces prevent such actions?

No.  The International Criminal Court (ICC) tries individuals for war crimes, and therefore the US naturally did not ratify the ICC treaty.  Bill Clinton signed it but did not submit it for ratification; Bush nullified even the signature.  Only countries that have ratified the treaty can have their citizens tried.\n\nSo, the US won't ever have anyone tried for war crimes.


There are guys I like but I can't get a date is it how i look or my personalitiy.What do I do.

the first thing u have to do is post these kind of questions on another category!!


Yes you will need a news server account.  There are a couple free ones but I would suggest http://www.easynews.com they are very reasonable.\n\nThen you will get a username and password and access to the news server.\n\nAlso your ISP may have newsgroup server as well.  Look through documentation or call them.  Some provide this service for free while others charge just a nominal fee.


What were some of the factors that enabled and inhibited American expansionism? \n\nFocus: Some of the items that you should consider for this question include: Expansion of US Rail System, Role of the Federal Govt in this process (Did it encourage this development? How? Why?), Treatment of Native Americans (What did mean for the Western growth of this country after this group was finally broken?), and role of Immigration (How did this relate to this development?)

I'd look at the Monroe Doctrine (i think).  It has a statement by a former president that says that the American dream should be for the country to touch the atlantic and the pacific.  \nUS rail system encouraged travelers & those moving by providing efficient transportation.\nFed Govt encouraged this by buying, annexing, and winning by force property that is now the United States.\nNative Americans presented a barrier and discouraged those moving to live in a place where raids were frequent.  The US should have made terms with the Native Americans to make peace in the beginning.\nImmigrants went where ever jobs were needed, so they were always ready to move somewhere else if they could get a job.\nHope it helps.


Some realistic measures would be good - for example - page views, unique users, number of posts, search engine rankings, frequency of posts, etc. How do these affect the Google AdSense revenues?

Has your site been accepted by Google Adsense?\n\nNormally Google Adsense doesn't accept personal sites because of the content may or not contain the same theme.\n\nI own a site under my name, but the content is all seo related because of my services.\n\nThe best thing to do is read the terms of service and see if your site qualifies first. \n\nOnce you've done that, then ask for an account.\n\nAs for making money from blogging, there are some bloggers who are making up 6 figures doing it.\n\nI've listed several resources below that will further answer your question and give you the tools you need.


What determines if they're a category 3 or a category 2? What's the difference? How many categories are there?

Wind speed.  Hurricanes are measured in intensity based on wind speed.  There are 5 Categories of hurricanes, 1 being the weakest and 5 being the most powerful.\n\n* Category One -- Winds 74-95 miles per hour\n* Category Two -- Winds 96-110 miles per hour\n* Category Three -- Winds 111-130 miles per hour\n* Category Four -- Winds 131-155 miles per hour\n* Category Five -- Winds greater than 155 miles per hour


Do not have access to his regular radio broadcasts or his proposed satellite broadcasts. Is there any way I can listen to his broadcasts / podcasts through the net ? Suggest a few sites.

Howard Stern has been consistently hostile towards any effort to re-distribute any of his content on the Internet, for example contractually preventing affiliate radio stations from streaming on the Internet while airing The Howard Stern Show. When the show reaches Sirius satellite radio on January 9th 2006, subscribers will be unable to listen to it through the Sirius web site.\n\nWhile a number of fans record the show and make copies available to download on a daily basis, either directly or via BitTorrent files, linking to any of these sources or downloading from them is tantamount to copyright infringement. Having said that, your favourite search engine, given the right search phrase, would be able to locate one.


What do you think of ........... Osama Bin Laden???

I am looking for a way to build wealth.. I want to live independent of a paycheck and be able to plot my own destiny.

Invest in Iraqi Dinars.... current exchange rate is 1457 Dinars per 1 US dollar. Exachange rate during the Saddam era was less than 0.40 Dinars per 1 US dollar... Exchange rate may begin to equalize once the new Iraqi government starts business at the end of the year. Better act soon if you choose this method of "becoming wealthy."


Keep reading about them, but don't have a handy-dandy guide to remember their differences.

Islam does not have nearly as many sects and divisions as does Christianity, but there are a few and it is worth knowing something about them. The two biggest are the Sunnis and the Shi'ites, with the Sunnis being the largest of all and representing the vast majority of Muslims. Shi'ites are a minority everywhere except Iran. \n\nAfter them, the two most influential sects are the Sufis and the Wahhabis. The Sufis represent a mystical tradition in Islam, whereas the Wahhabis are a strict traditionalist tradition which is dominant on the Arabian peninsula, but has little support elsewhere. \n\nUnlike churches, mosques are not denominational. Despite the differences among Muslims, traditional Friday prayer services are largely similar and Muslims of any background are welcome to attend services at any mosque. \n\nWho are the Sunnis?\nSunnis are Muslims who are considered the more "orthodox" believers. Sunnis follow all of the most traditional beliefs and actions. \n\nWho are the Shi'ites?\nThe term Shi'a is a shortened form of Shi'at Ali, which means "the party of Ali" - and at the time of Ali's death in 661, that is probably all it was: a party or tendency of people who supported Ali's claims to the caliphate. Over time, they became the largest non-Sunni sect in Islam. \n\nWho are the Sufis?\nSufism is important to the development of Islam because it is in this tradition that the more spiritual and mystical aspects were preserved. This stands in contrast to the mainstream of Islam which, through its first centuries, was more concerned with the expansion and organization of the general community. \n\nWho are the Kahrijites?\nIn Arabic, their label means "to go out" - they were, in effect, the first Mulism dissidents and rebels, being present almost from the dawn of Islam. Like later dissidents, they chose to separate themselves from the main body of believers, feeling that the majority of Muslims had lost the "true path." \n\nWho are the Wahhabis?\nMuhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab could be considered the first modern Islamic fundamentalist. He made the central point of his reform movement the idea that absolutely every idea added to Islam after the third century of the Mulsim era was false and should be eliminated. \n\nWho are the Ismailis?\nAn early Shi'a sect which split from the main group because of a dispute over who should be considered the next Imam. \n\nWho are the Zaidis?\nFormed by Zaid, a grandson of Husain, the Zaidis have believed that the true Imam must publicly assert his claim to the title and seek to overthrow the corrupt regime run by unacceptable rulers. \n\nWho are the Fatimids?\nThe Fatimids are a successor movement to the Isma'ilis and are descendants of Fatima and Ali through the line of Isma'il. In the tenth century, those descendants asserted themselves as caliphs in North Africa, and ruled Egypt from 969 to 1171. \n\nWho are the Nizari?\nThis sect is actually very well known around the world, but under a different name: the Assassins. \n\nWho are the Alawis?\nAlso known as Nusayris, the Alawis are a branch of Isma'ilism which has gone so far along its own path that many Muslims no longer even regard it as a form of Islam. The term Alawis actually just means "followers of Ali," which is used in some countries to refer to all Shi'a in general. Some think that they worship Ali as God, but that isn't entirely accurate. \n\nWho are the Druze?\nThe Druze comprise another sect which is not widely regarded as being "truly" Muslim. This group diverged from mainstream Islam in the eleventh century when some Isma'ilis started to believe that God became manifest in the personality of a prophet or imam. \n\nWho are the Baha'i?\nBaha'i is another movement which is descended from Islam, but which most Muslims today no longer regard as authentically Islamic. \n\nMost of these are Arab Muslims.. The Kurds


No, the Earth will continue in its orbit around the sun. But as the sun runs out of hydrogen fuel and balloons into a red giant, it will become so huge that Earth will be completely incinerated. Sorry to break it to you.


Recently Divorce with teen age daughter.  Worked in PA for a phone company as an associate analyst for their ACD/MIS system.  Have many years experience as a large mainframe Computer operator.  Moved to Michigan to be back with family, but jobs seem to be very few and far between.  What jobs are here that I should start getting training for to support myself and my Daugher?  I'm not an outdoors person.

There are really only four companies hiring in your wage and benefit range.  I'll list them below, along with the job title:\n\nDetroit Red Wings-Hockey Player\nDetroit Lions- Football Player\nDetroit Pistons-Basketball Player\nDetroit Tigers -Baseball Player\n\nGood luck.


I'm an old typist and secretary, but I also like learning about different languages and cultures. This question has been killing me for several decades now. So far, I've been too lazy----or busy,not sure which-----to research it myself.\n\nThey have thousands of characters, right, in Japanese and in Chinese? So, how do they type on a keyboard? Which characters do they choose? What fingers? What are the home keys?

Although there are specialized keyboards, for the most part Japanese and Chinese just use regular keyboards that uses software to change keystrokes into thier respective languages - for example, typing "KA" on a Japanese system will result in the Japanese hiragana "ka", etc.


Keep in mind that 0/0 is not defined, in particular 0/0 does not equal 1.

You've answered your own question.\nNo, f(x) is not defined at x=3 because the denominator would equal 0.  It doesn't matter what the numerator is.\n\nAnd btw, the expression simplifies to f(x)=x+3, where x<>3, \nbecause (x^2)-9=(x+3)*(x-3).


I want to create a static website for some contents. This is easy with dreamweaver or MS front page. However, I also want to allow readers of the website to leave comments on each page. Is there some software that allows me to do that? (I am familiar with php, jsp, mysql, etc. so setting up is not a problem.)

You can do it by using html in it use vbscript and ASP that will help u better it is not difficut at all u can do it very easily if u wanna learn the HTML VBSCRIPT ,JAVA SCRIPT, and ASP u can use the follwing site ok all the best


He's frequently away for business up to one month at a time - but home for 3 weeks for the holidays. I expressed my dissatisfaction earlier and he asked if I had any interest in Harry Potter.  I said, well I had read the first book.  He said, well, this was the fourth book.  This was around 7 PM.  Then, at 10 PM, he jumped up suddenly, put his coat on, and took the keys and said "see ya later".....  He has not offered to take me anywhere so far, either...  soon he will go back to the east coast for business for around another 4 weeks again.....

Sorry, it doesn't sound good.\n\nI would investigate his ties on the east coast..\n\nOf course, he could also have no idea of how to invite you with the kid, and is generally insensitive.  He should have waited for the video of got a sitter so you both could go.


How will I know when God wants me to do something or when he speaks to me? Sometimes I believe it's his voice, then I believe it's me thinking to myself. How do I know?

Good question!!!!! I always wondered about that, too. We talked about it at Bible study one week and we found some good Scripture passages that help.\n1 Corinthians 10:12 says that discernment is a spiritual gift that some people have. Discernment is basically being able to tell the difference between spirits (whether it is from God, yourself, or the      ).  \nBut not everyone has the gift to tell the difference, so what do you do if you don't have that gift?\n1 John 4:1-3 says to test the spirits to see if they are from God. These verses refer to prophets, but it applies to spirits, also. Test them to see if they seem to be from God, and pray that God will reveal to you whether it is from Him or not. He will provide you with answers!\nIn Acts 16:16-19, we see that spirits can come from the      , but they may seem to be from God (the message may seem to be true and good). This is another case where you just have to pray and then trust that God will show you whether it is Him speaking to you or not. \nAll in all, it just involves a lot of prayer. Pray that God will reveal to you whether it is His voice or not. He will show you. Sometimes you'll just get a feeling that will tell you it is Him, and sometimes there will be signs everywhere you turn that tell you what the right thing is to do. \nCheck out Isaiah 30:21. It's a pretty sweet verse. Just keep trusting in God!


I have been using e-Bay for years.  I use both Netscape and Microsoft, and I believe it is the Netscape browser which is affected.  Recently I have been denied access by an "error message" that says my browser  is not permitting me access because it is blocking cookies (which is NOT true).  I am set on ENABLE ALL COOKIES.  I contacted e-Bay, and three different people from e-Bay have responded, each with a different theory about what is happening.  But I am still blocked.

hi,\ni'm using netscape 7 and recently had the same problem. i sorted it out by going to: \n\nedit > preferences > privacy and security > cookies.\n\nclick on 'cookie manager'\n\nthen click on the tab marked 'cookie sites'\n\ntype in www.ebay.co.uk or www.ebay.com in the box at the top then click the 'allow' button.\n\nclick on 'close', then 'ok'\n\nrestart your browser and see what happens....\n\nhope it works for you...

Being my last NYE in Sydney, Australia I will probably give some thought to going to the Bridge fireworks this year. \nHowever, given the size of Sydney NYE crowds expected (Over a million) this year, and the recent unrest in large crowds here, it might be wiser to stay home as I am in a wheelchair.\n\nStill, It would be nice to see the fireworks properly once while I'm in Sydney.


I read from the news that "Yahoo! Answers" is a new service based on "Yahoo! Knowledge+" of Yahoo! Taiwan. But I wonder if there's any major differences between them?\n\nhttp://tw.knowledge.yahoo.com/

It seems the 2 services are foundamentally the same, but I notice minor differences such as:\n* Taiwan Yahoo! Knowledge+ allows more user choices eg choose how many points to give, how many days to wait when posting a question.\n* Taiwan Yahoo! Knowledge+ provides automatic category suggestion when posting questions, in US Yahoo! Answers you have to choose your own.\n* Yahoo! Answers provides "Save to My Web" and add to My Yahoo!/RSS features.\n\n\nUhm wonder where did you read this news?

It could be your video card has died.  Or try a new monitor cable.


Would you like to see that all Honorably Discharged veterans have access to military installations for the purpose of Exchange and/or Gasoline priviledges?\n\nNot a lot to ask for in today's economy....eh?

Those privileges would be nice but I don't see it as a big deal. The prices there are not significantly lower than elsewhere to make it worth much. I agree with the above commenter that health care and education are much more important. I would like to see better health care options for veterans.

If your Dell laptop is still under warranty (you can check with Dell by calling them directly), then you can ship it back to Dell and have them fix it for free under your warranty agreement; otherwise, you can go to any computer repair shop and have them look at it; just remember, if it's still under warranty and someone other than Dell fixes it, you are voiding your warranty contract with Dell and as such, cannot have Dell fix it for you in the future.

Well, you probably act like an adult.  People your age tend to not like when people do that.  It's because they don't think on the same level that you do.\n\nJunior high sucks, it's true.

I go to school as a full-time college student, and I need a good job, but I'm only sixteen and most jobs require 18 or 21 year olds.  any suggestions?

Server in a restaurant, although you won't be able to serve liquor which is a major downfall. Try to find a major chain. You may have to start as a hostess, but that would give you a good start to jump into a server position if you can't get one right off. In a major chain if you work the busy nights and work your tail off to get good tips...you can clear $20 and hour.


Did Yahweh command or allow for His Names and titles to be changed?\n\nBe serious about your answer. And be prepared to be challenged by the hebrew and greek manuscripts, which were used to translate the bible you read!!!

Yahshua is Hebrew for what we term "Joshua" which means Jehovah is Salvation.\n\nYahweh is the closest we can come to what God called Himself since the Jewish scholars refused to spell out His Name fully. The closest we have is the consonants YHWH, or YaHWeH.\n\nEl is the word for God. Elohim is the plural--not "gods" but God in the mystic threefold unity. The Echad. See my study below, "Is God One or Three?"\n\nYHWH did not command for His names or titles to be changed. However, He also did not punish the Hebrews or the new Gentile church for it either. He knows who He is. He is the God of Abraham, Ysaak and Yakob, and His Name is to be worshipped and praised. Baruch HaShem Adonai. :)

I like 144 because it has a lot of factors


Doctorate of Philosophy\n\nDoctor of Philosophy, or Ph.D. (an abbreviation for the Latin "Philosophiæ Doctor"; or alternatively Doctor philosophiæ, D.Phil.), was originally a degree granted by a university to a learned individual who had achieved the approval of his peers and who had demonstrated a long and productive career in the field of philosophy. The appellation of "Doctor" (from Latin: teacher) was usually awarded only when the individual was in middle age. It indicated a life dedicated to learning, to knowledge, and to the spread of knowledge.\n\nThe degree was popularized in the 19th century at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin as a degree to be granted to someone who had undertaken original research in the sciences or humanities. From here it spread to the U.S., arriving at Yale University in 1861, and then to the UK in 1921. This displaced the existing Doctor of Philosophy degree in some Universities; for instance, the D.Phil. (higher doctorate in the faculty of philosophy) at the University of St Andrews was discontinued and replaced with the Ph.D. (research doctorate). However, some UK universities such as Oxford, York and Sussex retain the D.Phil. appellation for their research degrees, as does the University of Waikato in New Zealand.\n\nSome ability to carry out original research must be documented by producing a dissertation or thesis of book length. The degree is often a prerequisite for permanent employment as a university lecturer or as a researcher in some sciences, though this varies on a regional basis. In others such as engineering or geology, a doctoral degree is considered desirable but not essential for employment. In a small but growing number of fields, the doctorate is felt to injure employment prospects by causing 'overqualification' for the job.\n\nIn layman's terms, it's someone who has spent a large amount of time doing research in a particular field, usually on a very specific subject, and been able to demonstrate that they have an advanced understanding of that subject -- particularly their specific research area.


Hello, I am from the old-school C/C++ generation and have seen the C#.net arrive quite fast. Now  it seems like everyone wants a C#.net developper. How did you learn this? Any good resource links?

If you are fairly proficent with C++  you should not have any problems getting started on C#.\n\nI havent read any book for learning C#. The language specification and gotdotnet should get you upto speed.

Could be the cache of your Internet browser. Clear the cache and try again. Could be they blocked your IP for any number of reasons. Could be the port that MSN Messenger uses to communicate through has been blocked by your firewall or virus software. Could be the software needs to be uninstalled, reboot the system and reinstall. It could be the BIOS on the mother board is jamming the ports or causing a redirect of ports. Maybe a program or hardware item you've recently added to the system has interfered with MSN Messenger functions. Maybe something around a hundred various "could bes" could be the problem.


the 6th Commantment from GOD says thou shall NOT KILL

Historically, the judicial execution of criminals and political opponents was a phenomenon of nearly all societies, and it was often also used as a means to suppress political dissent. The the U.S, due process of law is a legal concept that ensures the government will respect all of a person's legal rights instead of just some or most of those legal rights when the government deprives a person of life, liberty, or property. The Constitution itself sanctions capital punishment explicitly in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. The State has the authority because we give it to them.


Yeah, the best thing, and the least performed action, is just talking to the dude.  How do you know him, however you do, just spark a conversation.

is simliar to the triangle formed by the building & its shadow. If Ben is 5ft. tall, what is the height "h" of the building?

The building's shadow is 52/4=13 times longer than Ben's shadow. Since the triangles are similar, the building will also be 13 times higher than Ben, i.e. 13*5, or 65ft.


When I was in school many, many years ago, there were no microscopes powerful enough to see or photograph actual molecules or atoms.  Has that changed?

It is actually not possible to photograph, or "see" an atom. This is because they are to small for light to bounce off of, making them impossible to "see".\nThere are electron microscope pictures of atoms, but they are made by running electricity through something, feeding the data into a computer, then the computer shows an image of what the atoms would look like. (it's a little more complicated than that, but very hard to explain)

At what point in the pregnancy do the milk glands begin to function to allow a woman to make milk available?

The nurse is right... everyone is different. The first few days after the baby is born you will probably just give colostrum - the premilk that's full of all antibodies etc. Then about day 5 or so your milk should come in. (You'll know because you'll feel like you should be walking around with a bunch of $ in your g-string -LOL) Good Luck and Congrats on the baby news!


This is such a fundamental question.  The clash between these two\npositions has been the basis of much of the conflict in history and\nunderlines much of the news of today.  Surely there is a definitive\ntreatise on this subject.

Liberals favor higher taxation for the rich and for corporations, lower taxes for the poor, and the nationalization of healthcare, education, environment, increased involvement in state governments, and regulation of certain individual rights. Conservatives favor equal taxation across the board and fewer government controls in the economy, state governments, and little or no regulation on people's everyday lives.


I have problem with GCC, actually its not the one.\nI write program that allocates array in C++, but it didn't work in GCC.\nSomebody knows how to do this?

GCC is a C compiler - if you're writing C++ code, you probably want to use G++, which is a C++ compiler.\n\nTo allocate an array of int's in C++, you can either use the traditional C syntax and malloc()/free() like:\n\nint* intArray = (int*) malloc(10*sizeof(int));\n...\nfree(intArray);\n\nor you can use the C++ new operator and new/delete like:\n\nint* intArray = new int[10];\n...\ndelete[] intArray;

At my work, if someone clocks in before their scheduled time, they are not paid until their beginning start time on the schedule.  Can they do that?  Kentucky

No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be  "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.


In Government offices, most of the officers are highly corrupt and inefficient.  In the present set up, normally subordinates when they make a complaint against corrupt officer and expose their inefficiency, they are punished alleging casteism etc.  What is the way out from this pathetic situation?
