I have a friend who needs a small home equity loan of $5K to 10K for IRS taxes and other things.  Need immediately, credit is poor, can someone help.

if u live in california i can do the work for you. does your friend currently have a second on his house? if he does refinance depending on how much equity over the house you have u can join both loans into one and at the same time add in the $5-10 k you owe(u would get a check or cash if ud like at the signing). if he only has one loan on his house he can open up a second for the total equity you have available. im pretty sure they wont do a $5-10k loan but wat will happen is that u open a second for the total equity available to u and u just use what you need that come with really low interest rate


Doesn't it make FAR MORE SENSE to believe a magic man made us out of mud, and then we got tricked by a talking snake?

It wasn't a snake.\nAnd by the way, how can believing that everything came from nothing make more sense?\nDoes a machine design and build itself?\nYou need your eyes opened my friend.


hey how do you lose weight because i want to slim down so i can look good in a bikini for the summer and if you could give me some eating tips exercising tips anything to lose weight?? please answer\n\n\n\n\n\nif you don't have anything nice to say don't answer my question! <33

No offense to the one(s) above me but crash dieting(eating things like crackers everyday) isn't good. Yes you can lose weight quick, but I rather you be healthy while losing weight. Instead crashing, try eating more vegetables. Cut down on red meat but still eat chicken and fish for protein. Take vitamins, drink milk, and exercise and you should be good for the summer. This is actually a great idea because you can adapt it to you everyday life and not just try is when you need to lose a few pounds. If you need advice on recipes, check out the South Beach Diet cookbooks(they sell them at WalMart). The recipes are actually really good, some include DESSERTS WITH CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!


i have a gateway if it makes a differance

Do you mean serial port? Serial port or VGA port has nothing to do with NTSC video signal. \n\nYou need a video card with NTSC video out to do that.


I have a dance in 8 days and so far, when I have tried i have lost 10 pounds. Now, I only have 8 days to shed another 14! HELP!!

am not sure, but I don't think you could...  I suggest that you just do your thing, take less food do more physical activity and then, by the eight day just be happy with whatever amount of weight you lost.. Am sure, even a pound lost will be something rather than gaining one.  I am on a diet too.  I need to loose about 15lbs and I wish I could do it in one month.  I have been trying to loose weight for a month now.  I do tae bo and limit my food.  In about three weeks I just lost around 4.4 pounds tho there were days when I got tempted and failed my food diet... But that does not stop me from trying to still loose the 15 lbs I dream to shed.\n\nSo good luck to us... Keep in touch and pls inform me if ever you lose the 14 lbs in 8 days


I am running for a Co. commissioners position. I have a friend of whom is a Road and bus superviser for our County school system. He is also running for the same commissioners position on a different party ticket.He claims if he wins the commissiones race he can still work his $41,000/yr tax paid school  position and the tax paid commissioners position. Is this possible and if so by what statute? Waiting, election is 5/16/06.

I would contact the Kentucky Attorney General's office.  That office is generally the one that will give opinions on such matters.  \n\nGood luck in your race.


Only other ill symptoms is a burning in the stomach which is thought to be a stomach ulser.Also a history of Irritable bwel syndrome.Any doc'c on-line?

Go to an emergency room if you can't see your doctor today.\n\nBlood in the stool is VERY serious. Not to scare you - but it could mean lots of things - things that need attention so they don't become more serious. Treat this today!!!\n\nSave yourself some time, and take a sample with you - put a small amount in a tupperware or baggy. Tell them when you first noticed it and have a general record of your diet to tell them as well.

An email from our friend "bunchik" \n\nSubject: Re: I suggest you read the US Constitution \n\nMessage: Go back to watching your intelligent kool-aid pushers on Fox news....Like I said before...you are a true Retard...\nThats what Repugs should be called cuz retards are these stupid lil brainless lemmings who believe anything anyone tells them...describes the corrput Republicans to a T, eh!\n\nRetards...Goverment OVERSPEND Party = GOP\n\nHey retard, your Monkey Boy is on your special little tv and putting some fake flowers on the unknown soliders grave...(Strange...his head is bobbing up and down like...like a dog panting...could he actually be LAUGHING?

Even I don't think that all of them that f*cked up. I get bullsh*t mail like that, too. Someone didn't like a response I posted to a question about Serbs vs Croatians- I got an email accusing me of conspiring with Bush to "slotter" Native Americans. And here I wasn't even aware that I'd had the pleasure of meeting W., much less that we went back that far. \n\nI just wish that the f*cking kids who send them would spend a little more time doing their homework and a little less time running their ignorant mouths. Or would that be running their fingers? Whatever- now that school's out it's just going to get worse.


I have a Samsung 15 inch color monitor which displays green as a predominant color . Everything I see is like seeing through a green glass. I tried adjusting the settings in the menu that the monitor controls offer. But that doesn't seem to work and the problem is with the colors component inside the monitor. This actually started when I used my monitor as TV by connecting to cabletv cord using a combo-tv-box(basically a analog to digital signal convertor that eneables us to see cable TV on computer monitor- not a TV tuner card),. How do I fix this?\nThanks in advance.

This is a classic problem.\nVGA signal needs cabling for Red, Green & Blue (RGB).\nIf you miss any of them you'll see exactly what you describe (tint of red, green or blue)\nThe fact that you were changing the cable often is a further hint that this is the problem.\n\nEither your cable is broken, or any of the connectors do not connect well. Start by slowly turning the cable to see whether it gets fixed. If it does, just buy a new vga cable. if not, then start fiddling with the connectors. If there in no change at all, it may well be the connectors inside your monitor. \n\nIf you dont have any electronics experience (which I assume you dont) you better give it to a repairman to solder the loose connection. Please do not attempt to fix it yourself because open CRT monitors (like TV's) have very dangerous and exposed capacitors that can easily kill you - even if the monitor is switched off.


The German Physician how did he found out about it?

Werner syndrome is a premature aging disease that begins in adolescence or early adulthood and results in the appearance of old age by 30-40 years of age. Its physical characteristics may include short stature (common from childhood on) and other features usually developing during adulthood: wrinkled skin, baldness, cataracts, muscular atrophy and a tendency to diabetes mellitus, among others.\n\nThe disorder is inherited and transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Cells from WS patients have a shorter lifespan in culture than do normal cells. The gene for Werner disease (WRN) was mapped to chromosome 8 and cloned: by comparing its sequence to existing sequences in GenBank, it is a predicted helicase belonging to the RecQ family. However, it has yet to be shown to have real helicase activity (as a DNA unwinder important for DNA replication). The molecular role of WRN in Werner syndrome therefore remains to be proven, as does any role it might have in the aging process in general.\n\nA yeast protein similar to the human WRN protein, called SGS1, has been found. Mutations in SGS1 cause yeast to have a shorter lifespan than yeast cells without the mutation, and shown other signs typical of aging in yeast, such as an enlarged and fragmented nucleolus. Using yeast as a model for human aging in general, may give insight into the mechanisms of Werner syndrome and related diseases\n    Werner syndrome is named after Otto Werner, a German student who described the syndrome as part of his doctoral thesis in 1904\nC. W. Otto Werner ( February 1, 1879 - 1936 ) was a German physician, after whom Werner syndrome (Werner's syndrome), a form of premature aging (progeria adultoram) was named. As a medical student in 1903, Werner observed the syndrome in four siblings near the age of 30. He documented his observations in his Inaugural Dissertation in 1904.\n\nWerner was born in Flensburg, the son of a provincial councillor. He attended school in Kiel and qualified to practice medicine at Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel in 1904. He served as an army doctor with the Infantry Regiment at Holstein and, in 1906, in Kiel, he married the daughter of a physician. He then began a rural medical practice based in Eddelak, a small German town near the Danish border. There he remained for the rest of his life, except for his service as a medical officer with the German Navy during World War I.


We have no idea where he may be today. He was in the military and left germany in 1959. He doesnt know he has a daughter. My mother is 46 years old now and her dieing wish is to find her Father and in case he may be dead which we all hope he is not she wants to know and meet siblings if she has any. My grandmother cant help because she has died a few years ago. So where can i find him he was in the military so maybe some one military can tell me where i can find some info on military files of his.

you can go to www.military.com and click on buddy finder and type in his name how old you think he is & it should give you a list of names. i think you have to pay to email them don't really remember but you can also join  www.reunion.com you have to pay some money every month or year i think but it will email you when someone who thinks they know you or your grandfather and you can email them back. have you ever thought of contacting maury povich or montel williams or oprah winfrie about this missing long lost love of your family? they might be able to help. I hope and pray that you will find your long lost grandfather. try asking some people in montgomery al about him. how ever you do i will pray that you find him.


My company just layed off me ,but I am not sure if I will get ROE( record of emplyeement ) ,because before this ,I wrote to them to complain of "I have had more and more workplace stress,and got sick, so if company would lay off employees ,count in me ",If  company took  my letter as "ask for quit" ,then I can't get ROE ,what should  I do ? Help me ,thank you .

Its getting hot which means its time to get tanned. However, it takes some people more time to tan than others. Tanning occurs when the malanocytes produce melanin pigment. The more pigmentation, the more tan one can be. Why though, does it take some people a longer amount of time to tan than others? There are 3 tans total1-Brown tans produced by (eumelanin-a pigment)2-Yellow and red produced by (pheomelanin-another pigment) What about albinos, if its true that they have no melanin, then shouldn't they have cancer? And obviously, the melanocyte stimulating hormone is controlled by the pituitary gland. Some people therefore claim that wearing sun glasses can help the tanning process, is this true?If so, then what about blind people? They cant tan?

its something in the genes.\nwhen the skin is bombarded with UV rays it has a reaction in the cells that cause it to create the pigment that makes you tan and prevents burning, this is all as a protection. but with some people the cells aren't as sensitive as they should be, which causes people with fair skin that burn very easily or people who don't seem to tan at all.\nIn the case of albinos, they have no pigments whatsoever and can burn quite easily if exposed to the sun for too long, they do stand a higher chance of getting cancer if they have repeated exposure to the sun. this is why albino's choose to live in a temperate climates, like England, where it's not always sunny every day and some go out only at night in the summer, the invention of the 24 hour supermarket was a blessing for them. Albino's though are quite rare.


The Kennedys Are Known For Most Of There Family Being Asassenated. His Father Was . Bobby Kennendy Killed At The 1968 Presidential Campian Where He Won The Nonmantion In Chicgio.

Your spelling is awful.\n\nYes, JFK, Jr.'s death was an accident. A terrible, preventable accident, but an accident nonetheless.\n\nThe NTSB determined that the probable causea of this accident were the pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during a descent over water at night, which was a result of spatial disorientation. Factors in the accident were haze, and the dark night.


at my gym, theres an advanced 6-hour abdominal class, followed by a 6-hour cardio class.\nit's from 10pm-10am\nshould i take the class?\npeople at my gym told me its pure agony, totally brutal, and there are no water breaks, and come out soaking wet!\nbut, other people told me its challenging, and fun!\nbut 12 hours of abs and cardio without a sip of water seems tough... but, i'll never know til i try!\nshould i try it?

NO.  Not if you can't have any water, that's insane.  I can't see how you wouldn't keel over from dehydration?!\nI don't think that this can be classed as fun.  Think of the lack of fluids and what your body will have to indure.


Usually second language learners pick up errors easier than native speakers...even though many native speakers say a certain error and accept that way into their vocabulary. Like in English, 'would of...' instead of 'would have...' \n\nAnyways, I have a hard time accepting when other languages borrow English words for already existing words for the same thing in their own language. Like in Portuguese (my second language), people say checar (to check) sometimes instead of verificar (to check/verify), thereby borrowing and slightly altering our English verb to check. \n\nLast time it happened, I let it slide cause I wouldnt want someone who learned English as a second langauge to correct me all the time...but is it okay to do it once in a blue moon?

Just be polite. I deal with alot of Hispanic people, and I speak English. I am slowly learing spanish. I think I'm doing very well, but I've had alot of Hispanics make fun of the way I speak Spanish. It's degrading! I'm sure they wouldn't like it if I made fun of their English! So...just be nice!

When are they gonna take Britney's baby away? Personally I think they should have a loooong time ago. First, she was driving her suv with her kid on her lap, then, he fell out of his highchair and had to go to the hospital, and now she was caught driving with him in the backseat not buckled in his carseat properly. Now she's having another?!?! It's already bad enough the father is Kevin Federline...

Never.\nShe's trailer trash, but she's Rich & Famous trailer trash.


my son likes a girl, is it okfor a 12 year old?

It is OK. But religion has nothing to do with this. Tell your 12 year that his time will come. he must concentrate on his studies.


She's my ex-taecher and 15 yrs. older than me.

Don't. It does not happen that way unless you are paying cash up front.\n\nYou have to get to know someone first (however briefly) and if the circumstances are right then you can go ahead and suggest it.


What is a reasonable hourly fee for an attorney who specializes in consumer credit litigation (not bankruptcy)\n\nI'm comparing and interviewing laywers now... just want a guide to base their fees on.\n\nThanks

Just like anything, a "reasonable" hourly rate depends on what actually gets done in that hour.  Attorneys typically charge well over $100 per hour, but for what they accomplish, it's rarely reasonable in my book.


Does anyone know of support or support groups online for a spouse whose husband just went to drug rehab?\nI am 26 years old not even married a year and my husband was sent to a drug rehab center 3 weeks ago today for smoking pot when he was on probation for a dwi 3 years ago..not once did he fail piss test but he failed many..but he only ever failed for pot but he did use crack once in a while and other drugs..so thats why he was sent to rehab for a year or jail for a year..he can only call once a week and 2 letters a week and he has to be there for a year..I am going nuts..I cry everyday missing him and i am looking for some help online..I am already going to a therapist and on many drugs I just need some support from other people since I dont have any friends..I only had him..I have tried finding meetings in my area for na and aa and cant find any..i just need friends and support before i have a nervous breakdown?Pleas someone help..I miss him so much..

Well I have been looking...Keep going to therapists, etc. This is a good time to learn who you are without him. There is a Yahoo! group..it's a christian group out of Oregon but it might be better than nothing. The link is at the bottom. Keep looking for AA groups. Check on their website for the closest to you. Good luck..and guess what...YOU ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS:)


im guessing we will be seeing him on his back a lot this year seeing as teams can blitz as they feel since they lost edge and now no one is going to respect the run from them. if only they werent in the second softest division i would say completly miss the playoffs but i see another dismal beat down to another more physical team from the north that plays outside in the snow.


Specifically from the physiological and psychological stress/strain point of view?


Is there a support group for mothers and children when there husbands are are in the army? And why arn't they aloud to talk to you that much, especially when they have children that miss them so much? It seems kind of unfair for our 4 month, 5 year old, and 10 year old. They want to talk to him so bad. They seem more depressed then me. :(

Three excellent answers on who to contact.  I highly recommend the FRG (Family Readiness Group).  That group of spouses does WONDERFUL things for other spouses.  That is what they are designed for.\n\nThere are several reasons that he can't talk that much.  One is OPSEC (OPerational SECurity).  This is an acronym that basically means, "Don't tell anyone where we are, or what we are doing".  It is a means used to prevent the enemy from discovering our plans.  Another reason is the time limit on the phones.  There are a LOT of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines downrange, and they all want to talk to their loved ones.  So, they have a time limit on the phones, and on the internet.  \n\nGet the children involved in other activities, such as sports, horseback riding, swimming, or take them onto post to the FRG and meet other children.\n\nGood luck, and thank you for your support.  I give you my best wishes for a safe return.

I have 1gb PowerUp MP3 player. I'd like to update the firmware but i can't seem to find the manufactures website.

This is whare i bout it from:  \n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1532817&Sku=TC3G-5012\n\nAny help on upateing this please let me know.

I looked at the picture and i don't have good news. I have seen models of mp3players which look 100% identical to yours, they were branded Sansui and Wharfdale. if it is anything like the dvd players, your player comes from the same place as the  sansui and wharfdale. \n\nIn short, i dont know, but their ussually greyed where i live so i dont think you'll be able to get a firmware update for it.


Information technology (IT) or Information and communication(s) technology (ICT) (also Infocomm, esp. in Asia) is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information, especially in large organizations.\n\nIn particular, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists, and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the IT department. Other names for the latter are information services (IS) or management information services (MIS), managed service providers (MSP).


It is the first one that scores, wins, right?  But if neither team scores in OT in the alloted time, then what happens?  My friend thinks they call it a tie.  I think go keep going until someone scores.

If it is a regular season game, OT is 15 mins with first team scoring (TD, FG, or safety) getting the win.  If no team scores at the end of 15 mins game goes into books as a tie, which counts as half a win and half a loss in the standings.  If it is a post season game, teams play until someone scores, whether it be 1, 2 or more OTs.  If fact 4 NFL playoff games have gone into a 2nd OT.  They are :\n\nMiami 27, KC 24 (still the longest game in NFL history, decided 7:40 of the 2nd OT), 12/25/71 AFC div playoffs\n\nOakland 37, @Bal Colts 31 12/24/77 AFC div playoffs\n\n@Cleveland 23, NY Jets 20, 1/3/87 1986 AFC div playoffs\n\nCarolina 29, @St.Louis 23, 1/10/2004, 2003 NFC div playoffs\n\nOne AFL game when to 2OT: Dal Texans 20, Hou Oilers 17 1962 AFL championship.\n\nAnd one pro football playoff game went 3OTs,\n\n1984 USFL semifinal Los Angeles Express beat Michigan Panthers in LA 27-21.\n\nOh, I almost forgot, they do call it Sudden Death in football.

I HAVE A AN IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT TOMMOROW, I AM GOOD BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I START MISSING SERVES I FREAK OUT AND SUCK, HOW DO I STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

Everyone says "just relax" or "take a deep breathe"  But whenever I tried that I just got MORE nervous.  Just try to take your mind off of the score and off of HOW you're going to serve or what you NEED to do.  Just let your body feel it out.  When you tell yourself exactly how to bend your arm or how to or how much spin to put on the ball, you'll just mess it up.  Stop thinking about details and concentrate on getting the ball over and in.  And if you start messing WHILE you're playing just try not to overthink the score, yet don't undermind the score either.  When I constantly think about the score and what points I need to win, I'm too busy thinking about what I NEED to do instead of actually letting my body do it itself.  And if you lose, it's not the end of the world, and there's PLENTY of chances for a comeback in a tennis match.  \n\n"If you hit the ball INTO the net, you're absolutely sure you're not going to get that point.  If you think you've hit the ball too long, there could always be a gust of wind.  But only if you hit the ball into the net are you certain you've lost the point."

Almost every single day I have cramps in my lower abdomen and I have diarrhea shortly after.  I also get bloating and a weird "acidy" feeling around my belly button.  Sometimes my whole stomach feels as if it will explode if I don't pull on my belly button skin and lift up my stomach to relieve pressure.  I am lactose intolerant, but it still happens even when I don't have dairy.  Basically, I can't even eat anymore without pains.  What is it!!!!???

You did not specify your state, nor characterize your water supply.  You did not tell us how much you eat out and where. You did not tell us if you eat rare hamburgers.  Nor how long the symptoms have lasted, nor your age.\n\nAre you still eating lots of butter and caramels?  Even lactaid pills cannot cope with all that.  \n\nIf is very difficult to answer your Q without more information.  \n\nYou should see an Internal Medicine specialist and bring all the answers to these questions.\n\nSome people have been getting sick from food contamination, salads in bags or at fast food outlets that are contaminated with bacterial pathogens.\n\nDoctor also needs to know if anyone else in your family is also sick or was sick and recovered.  Especially needs to know WHAT you eat and WHERE, a comprehensive listing.\n\nMeanwhile try cutting out cheeses, butter, caramels--all the worse for those who are lactose deficient.  Try some kaopectate.  Wash you lettuce and other uncooked veggies thoroughly.  \n\nTry to use Rye Bread only for yourself.  At least read the ingredients and use bread not containing whey, milk, lactose, butter.  Stearoyl lactylate, an emulsifier is OK.\n\nLactase enzyme can decline gradually.  You may now have a more complete deficiency, meaning even small amounts of lactose containing foods will have bad effects.  Snicker Bars are even worse.\n\nRead the ingredients lists more carefully.  Americans put milk, whey and lactose into most food products.\n\nChinese food is much safer for you, except for some 'American Chinese foods' like La Choy which can have some milk or lactose.\n\nThe problem may not be lactose.  It could be something else.  In this case water supply is the principal offender.  Well waters in Texas may be contaminated.  If you have well water, you should have it tested at a laboratory for coliforme bacteria.\n\nA hospital lab can test you for salmonella and shigella, two serious food contaminats.\n\nWhen things last a long time without going away, it points more towards the water, especially when adults are having troubles.\n\nThis is the best I can do with info provided.  See the doctor, but taking all the information I have asked for will speed up processing thus lowering your bill.\n\nHaving said all that, it sounds like insufficient lactase enzyme to match your diet.  When you eat high lactose items you need to use more lactase enzyme tablets.  But some things are so bad, they are better avoided. \n\nIf you do not read the labels on everything, like candy, you will ALWAYS have trouble, sometimes gruesome.  \n\nExample; A SNICKERS bar, giant size, with no lactase tablets at all.  This will produce much grief, usually 24--36 hours later, depending how old you are and how fast your food passes through your digestive system.\n\nDo not let them take out your gall bladder without getting a second opinion.\n\nMacrobiotic supplements can also help.  You will need to Google those.  These help to establish favorable intestinal bacteria, especially following antibiotic therapy.\n\nDid you take a strong antibiotic recently?  Tell the doctor.

I have heard of Idebenone for treating early on-set dementia through 'alternative' supplements but what about claims it is a powerful antioxidant for skin-care use?

Idebenone is similar to CoQ10 in its antioxidant properties. CoQ10 is one of life's most essential biochemicals, hence its title "ubiquinone" (ubi=ubiquitous).\n\nIdebenone is different from Coenzyme Q 10 in one very important way. During a hypoxic (low oxygen) condition, CoQ10 can switch function from an anti-oxidizing to an auto-oxidizing process. This auto-oxidation rapidly produces massive amounts of free radicals which damage the tissues of the body.\n\nIdebenone performs the same functions as CoQ10 without the risk of an auto-oxidation reaction.\n\nIdebenone is said to promote NGF (nerve growth factor) in the brain. It appears to reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Idebenone has also been used in topical applications to treat wrinkles


scientific reasons that caused it impossible to cure the disease, aids .

HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) presents a number of challenges to finding a cure:\n1) Whenever you get a virus or bacterial disease, the medicine that you received typically doesn't kill the virus or bacterial directly. Instead it helps your immune system fight it by making it more difficult for the virus to reproduced or a range of other techniques. Your immune system will do still most of the work in defeating the infection. The HIV virus attacks the immune system. As it result this reduces the effectiveness of most traditional techniques.\n2) It mutates quickly. A drug that work effectively now will eventually stop working (in the case of AIDS it stops working even before the person infected is cured of the HIV virus requiring drug cocktails and other techniques)\n3) Because of 2 many slight variation of the virus exist out there. An effective vaccine would have to target most or all of them. This is a problem because the best treatments for a virus is a vaccine. \nThat there is no cure for a disease is not uncommon. There is no cure for the flu, a virus that kills more people every year in the US than does AIDS. There is no cure for the common cold (another virus), herpes (another virus), malaria (bacteria), ...


It really would depend on the circumstances. Was there a contract (either verbal or written)? Did company ownership change. I the polocies changed to cut company expenses, I would think they would have to notify you, then you have the choice to accept the change or quit.


if someone is born in spain? dose that make him a citizen, and would the parent be elegiable for citizenship

You are American?\n\n      You can claim citizenship for your child born in another country.\n\n      Our first child was born in Germany. Contact the nearest American consulate.\n\n      If you are married to the mother, you can apply to the immigration service for a visa, which is the first step toward citizenship.\n\n      I'm simplifying.\n\n      Go to immigrationservice.gov,( or whatever it is), for details


God gave us His Ten Commandments so that we will know how much we have messed up. Have you ever lied, stolen, disobeyed your parents, or been jealous of anyone? When we die God will judge us by His Commandments, and we will be guilty. We all deserve Hell. God doesn't want to send us to Hell. Jesus died on a cross, took our punishment, and paid the debt for our sins. We must ask forgiveness, turn from our sins, and put our complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will we be accepted into Heaven, not because we are good, but because we are bad and forgiven. Please think seriously about this.\nGod Bless,\nfishinforsouls@yahoo.com

...i want to hear the songs such as "another one bites the dust" by Queen backwards in my media player, i own the cd and i dont know what plays things backwards..

Convert mp3 to wav using itunes. When its done converting, open Sound Recorder (click start, click all programs, click accessories, click entertainment). In file, click open, look for converted music and double-click it. In effects, click reverse and it should hear the music backwards. Save it once again and you're done.

some reflexive verbs are:\nacostarse (to go to bed)\nlevantarse (to get up)\nbañarse (to take a shower)\npreguntarse (to wonder)\n\na reflexive verbe means that the action affects the person who's doing it, e.g.\n\nreflexive: levantarse\ntodos los días ME levanto a las 10 = everyday i get up at 10 (every day i get my self up at 10)\nnon-reflexive: levantar\nlevanta la pluma = pick up the pen\n\nreflexive: bañarse\nvoy a BAÑARME (or ME voy a BAÑAR)= i'm gonna take a shower (i'm gonna bath my self)\nnon-reflexive: bañar\nvoy a bañar al perro = i'm gonna bath the dog\n\nreflexive: preguntarse\nél SE PREGUNTA cómo es ella = he wonders how's she like (he asks himself how is she like)\nnon reflexive: preguntar\nél le preguntó cómo estaba = he asked him/her how he/she was doing\n\nreflexive= acostarse\nusualmente ME ACUESTO a las 11 = usually i go to bed at 11 (usually i put my self in bed at 11)\nnon-reflexive: acostar\nacuesta a los niños = put the kids in bed\n\nto cojugate:\npreguntarse\n\nyo ME preguntO         i wonder\ntú TE preguntAS        you wonder\nél/ella SE preguntA    he/she wonders\nnosotros NOS preguntAMOS we wonder\nustedes SE preguntAN     you wonder\nellos/ellas SE preguntAN they wonder


I've wondered a lot about this, is it a manly thing for a man to go with another man and still be loyal to his partner. likewise is it ok for gay men to go with women for the same reason. Does monogamy change sexuality in this kind of way?

If you have sex  or a romantic relationship with anyone else besides your partner, then you are cheating. Monogamy is important to the physical purity of the relationship as well as the emotional and mental health of a relationship. It's not manly or ladylike. Sleeping around just makes you a whore! I don't care what gender or sexual preference you are. Wake up! This is a no brainer!


no kat had no personality when she was performing...taylor is unique..his new song is awesome..at my baccaleaurate mass when we were presenting our parents with flowers they played his song "do i make you proud" which was so fitting and basically the whole room was crying, not only because it was emotional because we almost are done but because the lyrics are so perfect.


why should people with no kids pay for others' expenses?

Because the government wants children to be educated according to what the government leaders believe is right.  And so we as a country are taxed for it.  Is it right?  no.\n\nI do not allow my child in public schools..yet I pay school taxes.  I am my child's teacher, yet I do not get a state salary...  My taxes go to pay for a schoolbuilding my child will not see the inside of and for teachers to teach kids things we do not believe in...\n\nBut as Christians our family is taught to give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's, and give unto God what is God's.\n\nIf we don't like the tax system, we can always move to another country...;)

I need 2 examples of a compound machine.

Oh wow, you could get a million examples of that. A compund machine is anything that ISN'T a simple machine. So if it isn't a wedge, lever, pulley, inclined plane, of other simple machine then it is a compound machine. They are a combination of multiple simple machines.\nTo actually answer your question though, a gear system and a car engine

Ossification is the gradual conversion of cartilage or other tissue into bone. At birth ossification is not complete, there are still may membrane filled spaces in the skull, these are called fontanels or "soft spots". Most bone growth occurs during childhood, and ossification of most bones is usually complete by age 25. The 5 bones of the sacrum fuse together from ages 18 to 25. When all bone growth is complete the body is said to be skeletally mature.\n\nThe soft spots of the skull generally firm up by age 2.


Yes what is going on?  Ive heard fo younger fellas liking older women, but to actually take that a step further and sleep with you're g/f mum, is sick.  I hope you have dumped him?  Lets not forget that you're mum was the other sado in this, how can she do that to her daugher,i dont know how long you have been together,not that it should matter,she knew he was out of bounds as he was in an intimate relationship with you.  This is something that is going to take a long time to sort out, i dont think i could ever forgive my mum, and i would normally say there is two sides to every story, but in this one there is no excuse for what they have both done to you.  You must feel really confused,a mum should want to protect and love,care and be there when a daughter needs someone and no one else but mum would understand, she has broken so many rules by what she has done, and he is just pathetic to even have had the thought of going there never mind actually sleeping with her. If you think you want to try to save you're so called relationship with you're mum, maybe once you have healed and gone through all the emotions, you could consider councelling.  I would want some closure, maybe not right now as it probably is too painful, all the questions you must be asking and not to mention the thoughts,take a break go away somewhere if you can, visit a friend, give youreself some breathing space to think about how you want to deal with this, and when you feel you are strong enough, start the healing then, but i would keep councelling in mind.  I think you're mum might need some help and as for you're fella, what can i say, is he worth going through the pain you are feeling again?  Because he will do it again.  None of this is you're fault, these are two selfish people who had no regaurd for you're feelings,stay strong, and im so sorry to hear you have had to deal with this.  As i said do what you need to do to get you through this, you are worth so much more than to be treated like that.  Take care, and all the best of wishes for you're future.

Are these ultimately the same thing?  maybe it's a combination, maybe its based on individual relationships. I am interested in opinions and stories.

Only God can judge someone. Never try to judge someone without taking a look at yourself cause everyone has at least one time made a mistake in there life no one is perfect.


I know I need to get the job offer first. But why is it bad? Is it because it will look like I am only going for the money? Is it considered rude?

You should be more interested in the job than the money.  If it appears you are fixated with money that may take away from other personal values.


What I'm wanting is to have them be the slip-on type with the laces going straight across on top instead of zig-zag.

I am unable to explain it without showing you. What you can do is go to a Foot Locker and ask them to show you how they lace the shoes on diplay...they lace them straight across like you are looking for.  I use to work at one a long time ago.


if u could get mutant powers 4 one day what powers would they be?

I'd like to have the power of Rouge or Storm from XMen!\n\nRouges power is great coz she's got super strength, as well as the ability to take someones Else's power.\n\nStorm is good too coz she can do all that stuff with the weather/nature (she can fly too!)\n\nMaybe those 2 combined???  And of course Telepathy and psychic abilities.


Watched the movie. Laughed my head off. Though, after watching special scenes...I can't decipher whether they were an actual band. Was this a legitamit "rockument"? I always thought it was a fictional comedy... similar to the humor of Anchorman or Arrested Development.

My answer is a little enigmatic.\n\n"Spinal Tap is as "FICTIONAL" as The Blues Brothers.\nTheir names, lives, discology are fictional but the people portraying them have enough musical talent to pull it off.\nThey DID tour (a novelty tour I will admit, but a tour none the less)and released two albums (one soundtrack which had releases from earlier albums[note above: discology is fictional} AND "Break Like The Wind" in the 90s[I actually own this one]).  \n\nMight I suggest viewing "FEAR OF A BLACK HAT",called THE SPINAL TAP of the rap scene.


well i here that oden is going to ohio stae and will leave his fresh man year, but the year after he leaves oj mayo will go to OS so should oden stay?   oden is a awsome player and if he stays 2 years in collage he will put on muscle and big the next shaq or more likely amare.  also if hes gonna stay he better make shur that oj comes to ohio state because oj was thinkin UNC and penn state <<<<( top pick for oj) thats my opinion

Oden should do what he wants to, and if his dream is to play for the NBA, he should commit when he wants to.

The form and physiology of leaves vary according to the _____ in which they develop, for example, leaves display a wide range of adapation of different degrees of light.\nA. situation    B. patterns    C. relationship    D. society\n\nAnd what does this sentence mean, expecially the example? I mean what's the relationship between the example and the main sentence?

The only way ı can find any logic in this sentence is if the comma before 'for example' is changed to a semi-colon. Then it's two different sentences and, even if I don't like it, I can parse it.\n\nSo, if that's the case, then it's 'situation', not 'patterns'. Patterns are an aspect of a leaf's form and physiology. You can reword this sentence like this: Leaves develop in different situations; according to these situations, the form and physiology vary.\n\nThis is logical when you look at the example, because 'different degrees of light' are different situations (as someone else said, 'environment' would be more suitable), and the example says that 'different degrees of light' affect how the leaf adapts (preumably altering its shape).\n\nHope this helps. Swat your teacher upside the head for giving you such an ill-formed question!


I have beautiful long naturally curly hair.. However, when it is hot out it tends to friz...  Secondly, I have to wash it or at least wet it every day.. Yes, I said everyday!  I have too.. Because, it will friz and won't keep it's hold.

It is the humidity in the air that makes it frizz. I have the same problem. Some advice that works for me is 1. don't brush your hair after it is dry, it will make the frizz worse.2. after washing your hair use some Zero Frizz hair serum, not too much, I have found it works better than the Frizz Ease brand, you find it at Walmart and it is like $4 cheaper. 3. always condition your hair, daily and once a week or some use one of the hair mask things. I hope this helps you. Don't spend too much on products, I have found the cheaper ones sometimes work better.


Are you supposed to have a smile from ear to ear to make these people happy. I don't look angry (unless I really am) generally I look ok, no frown just normal and every so often out of the blue, shopping or something, I get from someone 'smile' or 'smile you dont look happy' Do I really have to smile constantly? My face would get really sore If I do! Of course I do smile at times when I want to. What are some good comebacks for this?

No you don't have to smile constantly.  People who say things like that are damn nosy and looking to poke in your business.  Tell them smiles are not synonymous with happiness and walk off.  They'll be frowning while trying to figure out what you just said, and you'll be smiling at your own cleverness!


I want to continue this fwb relationship but I feel she may want more.  I don't want more than this and she knows this.  But I think she thinks she can change that.  How do I make sure she understands.

Just be really clear with her about what you want and give her the chance to choose if that would work for her. If she isn't into it, there are plenty of girls out there who will, provided you treat them with the same respect you would a friend without the benefits!

In the future Social Security is one of the problem, what else could be a problem in the future?

Dear Pottc, unfortunately the problem is that Social Security is virtually empty because the money over the last 25 years has been moved around. The trust fund is actually full of bonds from the government to the government, not actual money.\n\nOne of the big problems we are going to see is a near collapse of our infrastructure. Communities all across the nation have been putting off repairs to their water facilities, or just privatizing them and leaving them to rot. This is why there is now such a huge market for bottled water for every day use, when before this was thought to be ridiculous. There is very little uniformity in our national electrical network or grid, and until it is brought into modernity the grid remains vulnerable. About five years ago there was a black-out that hit the northeast for almost two days because one station was overloaded. The progression of the internet technology is making control of this infrastructure extremely vulnerable as well.\n\nThe problem with drugs is getting worse, not better. I don't like knee jerk reactions to this subject, but the enslavement of people to criminals is a national tragedy. Legalization is not an option, because every vice that has been legalized has just gone from being a problem to being a catastrophe (alcoholism, unregulated health care, gambling, pornography, etc). When the pusher goes from being the local stoner to the multinational corporation, we will really be in trouble.\n\nWe like to think the gap in income and wealth is just jealousy, and maybe it is, but it is turning way too much of our population against patriotism and against capitalism in all of their forms. Just telling people that they should feel lucky that they don't live in Haiti will only work for so long (I've heard that on conservative radio more than once).\n\nEnergy is going to be a problem because we still have a fossil fuel monopoly and the fuel is starting to run out. The lead lobbyist of the American petroleum industry was on C-SPAN a few months ago, and he said the world can only produce oil at its current rate for about 40 more years. We should have been working on an alternative source of individual energy a generation ago, because it will take decades to rework the infrastructure for a new fuel.\n\nThe world is just running out of credit for our debts. We have already borrowed from every country in the world and we have already depleted Social Security and Medicare, and even the retirement accounts from private industry are very shaky, some have already collapsed. When the money is no longer any good, the entire society will collapse.\n\nJust a few things to look forward to.

5 yellow marbles, 1 purple, 3 green, and 3 red marbles are in a bag. Once a marble is drawn, it is replaced. Find the probability of each outcome: 1: a purple then a red marble. 2: a red then a green marble 3: 2 green marbles in a row. 4: 2 red marbles in a row.  5: A purple then a green marble  6: A red then a yellow marble.\n\n\nThere are 4 yellow marbles, 3 purple marbles, 1 green marble, and 1 white marble in a bag. Once a marble is drawn it is NOT replaced. Find the probability of each outcome. \n6: A purple then a white marble 7: A white then a green marble. 8: 2 purple marbles in a row. 9: 2 yellow marbles in a row. 10: A yellow then a purple marble 11: A yellow thne a purple marble. 12: a green then a white marble.\n\n\nA card is drawn from a standard deck of cards. Find the probability of each outcome. 13: P(a red card or a club) 14: P(a diamond or a spade) 15: P(a face card or a 2) 16: P(a 7 or a 9) 17: P(a red card or a king of spades) 18: P(a heart or a queen of diamonds)

First get it straight. Algebra and probability are 2 very different things! Now:\n\n1. There are 12 marbels, so,\na) purple then red = (1/12)*(3/12)=1/48\nb) red then green = (3/12)*(3/12) = 1/16\nc) 2 greens = (3/12)*(3/12) = 1/16\nd) 2 reds = (3/12)*(3/12) = 1/16\ne) purple then green = (1/12)*(3/12)=1/48\nf) red then yellow = (3/12)*(5/12) = 5/48\n\n2. There are 9 total marbles, so:\na) purple then white = (3/9)*(1/8) = 1/24\nb) white then green = ((1/9)*(1/8) = 1/72\nc) 2 purples = (3/9)*(2/8) = 1/12\nd) 2 yellow = (4/9)*(3/8) = 1/6\ne) yellow then purple = (4/9)*(3/8) = 1/6\nf)yellow then purple = (4/9)*(3/8) = 1/6\ng) green then white = (1/9)*(1/8) = 1/72\n\n13. Red card is 1/2 and club is 1/4, add them = 3/4\n14. Dimond is 1/4 ans spade is 1/4, add them = 1/2\n15. face card is 12/52 and a 2 is 4/52, add them = 16/52\n16. A 7 is 4/52 and a 9 is 4/52, add them = 8/52\n17. Red card is 26/52 and a king of spades is 1/52 = 27/52\n18. Heart is 13/52 and quuen od diamonds is 1/52 = 14/52


if a cuban come to the USA he'be welcome once he reach land but if anyone come from other country the are not.. can you tell me why?

Apparently, they are fleeing a communist regime. Just because Cuba is communist doesn't mean that it is the worst country in the world for its citizens. Try Haiti. Try countries in Africa. Try Southeastern Asia. Try Afghanistan. Our immigration laws should be more compassionate and should strive to help those who are MOST IN NEED. It shouldn't help illegals that broke the law. It shouldn't help those who the US wants to immigrate here just so that the government can embarass Castro. IT HASN'T WORKED IN 40 YEARS!!!!! Cubans should go through the process LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!


If the theory of evolution is not valid, and if God created man, then why does a human foetus before 12 weeks have gills and a tail?

Here's the thing: I'm not an expert on fetal anatomy, but human fetuses do not have gills.  They do have tails for a few weeks, appearing around the 4th week and dispearing around the 8th.  They also have regions that are homolgous to those that develop into gills in aquatic organisms, but will form the throat of the human fetus.\n\nThe gill and tail myth was created by a man named Haeckel.  Now, Haeckel actually (whatever creationists may say) did have some good ideas, but he was a very bad scientist and had an unfortunate tendancy, especially in the later part of his career, to exagerate and even completely fabricate morphological features of embryos.\n\nHOWEVER, there _is_ an association between fetal development and evolutionary lineage.  It's just a bit more subtle than Haeckel claimed.  While embryos don't go through stages that ressemble the adult forms of their ancestors, the is a distinct correlation between the age at which the morphology of embryos of different species diverges and the evolutionary relationship between those species.  For example, human embryos and chimp embryos look really similar for a lot longer than human embryos and snake embryos.  But human and snake embryos look similar to each other long after they have completely diverged from the development of, say, a sea urchin.\n\nYour point about gills and tails isn't very accurate, and the actual connection between evolution and development is not very accesable to the non-scientist, but there is plenty of evidence for evolution that doesn't take a PhD to understand.  Here are a few points that I hope will help you next time you want to defend the theory of evolution:\n\n\n1. Vestigial structures\n\nOne example of a vestigial structure in humans is the appendix. It has no function. Removing it is harmful only in so far as any surgery is associated with certain risks (so I wouldn't have it removed just for fun, but it's because of the surgery not the absence of the appendix). An appendix is found in several mammals. In humans it is small and has no known function. In rabbits and many other herbivores it is large and is used in the digestion of cellulose.\n\nAnother example of a vestigial structure is the hipbones of snakes. Snakes evolved from quadrupeds, and some species still retain not on pelvises, but tiny protrusions of bone in a location that corresponds to the location of the legs in other quadrupeds.\n\n2. Microevolution can be observed in both a controlled laboratory setting and in nature.\n\nCreationists will tell you that microevolution does not prove macroevolution.  This is true.  However, it does provide evidence that macroevolution may be possible. Taken in the context of the other evidence for evolution, microevolution provides a mechanism by which macroevolution could occur. On its own, it doesn't prove that macroevolution occurs, but it does suggest that it is possible.\n\n3. The fossil record.\n\nAlthough the fossil record does not provide a “complete” record as fossils form only under certain conditions, it does show a gradual change in the morphology of species as well as numerous extinct species.  There are a number of methods used to date fossils, and the time period from which a fossil comes can be determined with reasonable accuracy.\n\n4. Imperfect structures (the blind spot of the mammalian eye, for example).\n\nI want to mention the bind-spot of the mammalian eye specifically because creationists often hold up the human eye up as an example of something that is too perfect to occur by "chance" (i.e. as the result of the natural selection of beneficial changes among random mutations).\n\nThere are also numerous examples where the morphology of a species is constrained by similar patterns in its ancestors (quadrupeds, vertebrates, etc.).\n\n5. Developmental biology reflects evolutionary lineage.\n\nCreationists like to bring up a man named Haeckel in response to this argument.


My friends messenger isnt working...please help me...ones wihtout extra lengthy registrations if possible

Ah, it's my messenger! Help us, please! Thank you!


how would you cope to go and visit him in the ground at such a young age let him die What you doo if he wont stop and is parents dont care><3 i love you kelly be safe

My best friend was my sister kay, we were only 18 monthes in age apart. At the age of 21, kay got shot through her heart by her boyfriend. It was over cocaine. She started using in october and by january she was dead. I had made a pact with her when we were young teenagers that if there was anyway to communicate with the dead whoever died first would try. We agreed to sing the song free bird by lynard skinner to the person dead also. Well that memory came back the night she got killed, so the first viewing morning I went to the funeral home early, and was with our best friend that had been in on the pact made. We went up to her casket and we song free bird very low and when we were done, we were both crying of course. We watched and saw nothing. So we left and went outside, the funeral director came out a few minutes later and said that they would have to close the viewing room for awhile. I asked why and he said that there had been a problem, I said what kind of problem, he said this has never happened before and said that her left eye lid had opened up. I said what do you meann, he said they seal them closed with wax. And hers had opened and not only opened but a vien had surfaced, and was quite noticable right under the skin of her eye lid. I know it was her letting me know that she had kept her end of the pact. And that she could and did communicate after she was dead. But its been 25 years ago, and I am still coping with an incrediable empty hole in my heart for my sweet, sweet \nsister. I will see her again though, she's waiting at home for me in heaven..


Can you give me any links to any pagan/wiccan radio stations online, if there are any, thanks.

I read the water and vinegar trick, has anyone tried it? I am in a wedding in june and want to look great. I also have heard of goji juice does that work? I do 8 min abs which i love, and it works, and i do 30 minutes at least a day of cardio...So any suggestion are helpful! I just want to lose 5-10lbs maximun.

You definitely have to try a Pilates class or get a Pilates DVD or VHS and work out to it. I have been trying to get rid of my belly fat for the past 3 years (since my son was born). Since I started going to a pilates class in February twice a week I have noticed a HUGE difference in the shape of my stomach, butt and legs. I am 5'6" and started out at 130lbs and now weigh 121 lbs. I have lost 9 pounds in 3 months and I can wear clothes now that I wouldn't have a couple of months ago. I also try to watch what I eat and drink water, water, water!!! There is no magic pill or supplement that is going to make you get rid of your weight...you just have to be willing to work hard for it. Trust me..I wasted three years on all of those stupid little tricks that we all hear about and got nowhere. Stay focused and work hard!! Good Luck!!!


When protein intake is in excess of what the body actually needs, and energy needs [kcals] are met by the diet (you're eating enough foods to meet energy requirements), the excess protein is broken down to amino acids, and the amino acids are metabolized (broken down and their energy released). What happens to the excess energy released by these excess amino acids?\n  a. It gets stored as body fat and glycogen.    \n  b. It is excreted in urine and feces (solid body wastes).    \n  c. It is stored in amino acid pools inside body cells.    \n  d. Protein is so important that none of excess protein gets turned into body fat---it all gets turned into useful protein molecules.

The first answer A is the correct answer.


They did not believe in their wildest imagination they could play this year's nation cup let alone the world cup - but coach Keshi did the magic!

What is wrong with the mom?  Or, did the dad have a better lawyer?


if you hate running for a long time but still want to get a lot of exercize and lose weight..walk 4 miles a day. my aunt lost 30 pounds in like a month or two of doing this. and still eat! eat like every 3 or at most 4 hours something high in protein and healthy carbs. ok this wasnt much of a question bu i thought id let u kno

Cool! That sounds like a sensible way to go about weight loss. I might try it! Thanks for the fyi. \n\nPS How much did you aunt weigh to start out with, and what was her height?


i'm trying to go back to school this fall but i need a transcript from st mary's college in leavenworth where i completed some college courses & in order for me to complete my enrollment i will need the transcripts to see how many credit hrs i need to work towards.. st mary's college is located in leavenworth, ks. i didn't attend the college on campus i attended off campus in topeka, ks... thanx

find the number for the school and request a transcript from their registrar's office. it might cost you a few dollars, our official transcripts cost $3 for them to print and be mailed.


I have a space on MSN, and I want to make a link to open automatically their emails and below the link SEND TO, I want my email also writed. can any body tell me how?\nif no don't answer

This can be done by writing some HTML code. It basically would look like this:\n\nEmail me!\n\nWhat you would see are the words "Email me!" as a link. If a viewer clicks on that link, an email editor is automatically launched.\n\nYou can also add extra default items to this email, like a subject, CC field, BCC field, or email body. This can be done by adding what are known as parameters to your email address. The parameters would need to be separated by a ampersand character (&). The parameters are:\n\n?subject\n?cc\n?bcc\n?body\n\nSo say you wanted to create a link to automatically open an email with the subject "Hi there!" and CC it to "your_second_email@ yahoo.com". The resulting code would look like this:\n\nEmail me!\n\nI hope this helps.


Just to distinguish who is the best team in the world a ranking system is just fine but it doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned.  Winning a title actually enhances your ranking.  It's all good and well to say your the number one  ranked team but actually proving it is different.

Well the ranking system is technically called the World Test match Championship, which Australia has held since it's inception in 1997, except for two months when South Africa held it in about 2002 (?). If you mean a play-off or knock-out style championship, it will never happen because of the logistics of holding such a competition in one place. It would also mean abandoning the current lucrative hom and away test match set up, which none of the national associations would ever endorse...


contact your local police station.  Our police periodically have auctions for bicycles they have seized as stolen or used in a crime, and have never been claimed.  some are very nice.  usually the people they were stolen from never got licenses so they could not prove the bikes were theirs.


salam< i wana to know when did scientists know that the space include rocks< and when did they know that asterisk made also with rocks (like our plannet)?

I think it was when we saw first asteroid through the telescope. And asterix is just a strip character and it has nothing to do with space. I hope i helped, ok i know i did'nt but still, i'm hoping.


Yes.\nif everybody aggress with me give me a hell ya!


Even if I sleep in day,I will still feel sleepy at night.Is this happen to everyone?

Our body actually responds to it getting dark outside and releases a chemical called melatonin.  Melatonin is what gives you the sleepy feeling.  By the way if you have a hard time falling asleep, Melatonin is available at any vitamin and supplement store.  Its actually used alot for children with autism, to help them relax enough to fall asleep.


I recently read that elephants cannot jump. Being industrious, a friend and I called the Cincinnati zoo in an attempt to clear this issue up. We talked to the elephant trainer there, and he didn't know. We also asked about hippos not being able to jump, being not exactly lithe and graceful themselves, and the trainer didn't know about that either. So, since a trained expert in a nationally recognized institution didn't know the answer, we figured you would. So whats the scoop? Can an elephant jump?

We talked to a bunch of elephant experts and none of them has ever seen an elephant jump. Most think it is physiologically impossible for a mature elephant to jump, although baby elephants have been known to do so, if provoked. Not only do mature elephants weigh too much to support landing on all fours, but their legs are designed for strength rather than leaping ability. Mark Grunwald, who has worked with elephants for more than a decade at the Philadelphia Zoo, notes that elephant’s bone structure makes it difficult for them to bend their legs sufficiently to derive enough force to propel the big lugs up. \n\nYet there are a few sightings of elephants jumping in the wild. Veterinarian Judy Provo found two books in her college library that illustrate the discrepancy. S. K. Ettingham’s Elephant lays out the conventional thinking: “… because of its great weight, an elephant cannot jump or even run in the accepted sense since it must keep one foot on the ground at all times.” But an account in J. J. William’s Elephant Bill describes a cow elephant jumping a deep ravine “like a chaser over a brook.” \n\nAnimals that are fast runners or possess great leaping ability have usually evolved these skills as a way of evading attackers. Elephants don’t have any natural predators, according to the San Diego Wild Animal Park’s manager of animals, Alan Rosscroft: “Only men kill elephants. The only other thing that could kill an elephant is a fourteen-ton tiger.” \n\nMost of the experts agree with zoologist Richard Landesman of the University of Vermont that there is little reason for an elephant to jump in its natural habitat. Indeed, Mike Zulak, an elephant curator at the San Diego Zoo, observes that pachyderms are rather awkward walkers, and can lose their balance easily, so they tend to be conservative in their movements. \n\nBut that doesn’t mean that elephants are pushovers. Why bother jumping when you can walk through or around just about everything in your natural habitat? In India, trenching has been the traditional way of trying to control movements of elephants. Veterinarian Myron Hinrichs, of Petaluma, California, notes that the traditional trench has to be at least two meters deep, two meters across at the top, and one and one-half meters across at the bottom to serve as a barrier for elephants: \n\nThat tells us that they can’t or won’t try to jump a distance of 6.5 feet. But these trenches have a high failure rate, for elephants can fill them in, especially in the rainy season, and then walk across the trough they have made. And larger bull elephants can go down through and up even a trench that size. \n\nWhy leap when you can trudge?


Over the years, Ive contacted BBB many times to find out if a business was reputable but how do I do that with a lawyer?? American Bar Assoc?

You can try the ABA, and also the State Bar Association for your state. For example, I've included a link to the CA State Bar where you can check an attorney's status


I have a morning cycle into work that lasts about 50 minutes, along a canal track (so I can keep a steady 25KmPH pace most of the way without too many hill climbs etc) and the length is just under 20Km. How many calories do I burn doing this? Estimated, of course, but I'd be interested to know. Thanks.

This is about 1 apple or one of McDonald's very smallest hamburgers.  \n\nHowever, your body has muscles developed during this sport.  Those muscles must be fed and repaired.  \nThey will continue to consume quite a bit of calories after you have stopped pedaling.  \n\nThis, now, is a much larger figure--about 800 calories or so.


that human beings carry 97% of the ape gene

That's a really poor way of saying that apes and humans both have DNA which is 97% identical in the sequencing of certain alleles... It does indicate that we share a common ancestory, but the 3% difference is HUGE.

I am a cigarette smoker and so is my friend.  I am trying to quit smoking so that I can keep up with sports that I play.  I told my friend that I was going to quit.  He is a boxer and weighs 205 pounds.  He told me that for every cigarette I smoke, he is going to hit me full force in the chest.  I didn't think that it would be too hard to quit smoking.  A few days later, while I was having repercussions, I told my friend that I didn't know if I could quit.  He said don't give up yet.  I have a very playful/goofy personality.  I said, "Yet?  So later?"  He tells me, "Never.  Look, would you rather smoke a cigarette or get punched full force in the chest by me.  You made this deal."  And so I said, "Actually, technically you did."  When I said this, I was still in my cheerful joking mode.  I didn't really care who made the deal because whoever made it, I still agreed to it so either way it's my fault.  When I said this he got really mad, mad enough to threaten me.  What do I do?

If he doesn't understand you, then forget him. He's got problems.

If you limit the upload rate of your torrent client, does it penalize you in the amount you can download? In other words, is there a certain rule that you have to upload a certain amount of kilobytes per second to be able to download a certain rate of kilobytes per second.

It depends on the site. Most want you to have at least a .8 share ratio. your torrent tracker will tell you your share ratio. Alot of site clean out members every month and people who low share ratios are kicked.


almost every time i play soccer when i run after a while my throat kinda burns when i breathe what could it be


Turkey is already a main channel into Europe for Muslim illegals from all points East and South.  Imagine the flood if Turkey's European borders were opened!

It has more potential than any other country in the region.\n\n- Muslim illegals are mostly from Iraq and Afghanistan that are screwed up by some of the EU member states and their allies. They should be hold responsible for those unfortunate people seeking asylum. Turkey is just a passage for them, just like Greece, Italy, Austria. Do you expect Iraqis to travel to Europe through Japan or New Zealand?\n\n- Turkey has been home to many cultures that shaped today's Europe. Racially, about 1/4th of the Turks are grandchildren of Muslim Europeans who were displaced by the Christian Balkan states after WWI. They were not necessarily Turks, they were Muslims fleeing from the Christian atrocity. My grandfather is one of them, he is Romanian, and grandmother is Bosnian. They seeked asylum from Turkey, they learned the language, acquired Turkish names and became Turkish after they migrated.\n\nWhole Balkans were Turkish states for about 5-6 centuries (20-25 generations). Maybe you're not aware but Turkish culture has left a lot of traces in Europe. They didn't enforce religion onto the citizens, so we still have Christian faith on Balkans, with some Christian Turks as well.\n\nSome other facts you don't know about Turkey's potential:\n- Economy growing at about 7% vs 2.5% in EU.\n- 17th most industrialized country in the world.\n- 17th largest economy in 2006. It was the 26th in 2002, only 4 years ago.\n- Young educated population. Oversupply of engineers, doctors etc. Many work abroad as there are not enough jobs in Turkey. On the contrary many European economies depend on foreign workforce.\n- Secular democracy. No kings, no queens, no imams or monks as the head of state.\n- There are already about 5 million Turks living in Europe (not counting the 8 million in the European part of Turkey).\n- They have overcome the hyperinflation (70-100%) that screwed up the economy between 1970-2000. Now it is around 5-6%. Bad days are over.\n- 30% arable land. Arable whole year due to its climate and has enough water.\n- Strategically positioned. Energy hub to Central Asia and Middle East. Holding the 2 straits to Black Sea.\n- It is as big as France and England put together. Size matters. \n- Excellent private medical services, free public education (inc uni)\n- Healthy family & social structure. Don't have 12 year old single mothers. Doesn't have binge drinking and drug addicts.  Doesn't have high rates of divorces and single mothers. It has steadily growing population.\n- Low crime rates (lower than UK et al.)\n- Lots of natural resources, beautiful country, great food & fun loving people.\n- Many Turks will return back to her once the economy gets better... \n\nDo you really think we enjoy living in north Europe? It is all about money.


And they started bleeding some..Could he get lead poisoning? It didnt go deep.. But he did start bleeding some

Not with a pen and not with a pencil either (because pencils are actually graphite).  Besides even if they were lead it would take more than that to poison someone.

Who is Ryk Neethling and where did he graduate from ? Where is he from and what did he achieve ?

Ryk Neethling is one of the most successful swimmers in history to compete for the University of Arizona and the Republic of South Africa. Ryk has participated in the last three Olympic Games for South Africa, culminating with a Gold Medal and World Record performance in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Currently, Neethling holds the South African record in five different events and ranks in the top ten in the world in both the 50, 100, 200 Freestyle and Individual Medleys. Yet it is his success as an intercollegiate swimmer at the University of Arizona that elevated him to become one of the most highly regarded athletes in Tucson and the International swimming community. Ryk’s collegiate athletic career at Arizona was unmatched, leading to nine individual NCAA Championships and the Arizona Athlete of the Century Award.\n\nRyk, was born and raised in Bloemfontein, South Africa. He was raised by his parents Ryk and San-Marie with his two sisters Elsje and Jean-Marie. Growing up in a close knit family, Ryk learned the meaning of competition and determination. His sister, Elsje, was diagnosed with brain tumors at the age of twelve and endured three brain surgeries before recovering fully. Throughout her treatment, she continued swimming, never giving up her hope, determination, and passion while fighting for her life. It was this mentality that Ryk adopted in his swimming that led him to his international and collegiate success.\n\nRyk attended all of his schooling prior to the University of Arizona at Grey College in South Africa; the third generation of Neethling’s to attend. One of the most prestigious institutions in South Africa, Grey College, was attended by former South African presidents and other influential politicians.\n\nAt the age of 6, Ryk started taking water safety lessons after a near fatal drowning incident at a neighbor’s house, and immediately took to the water. Ryk quickly became a national force in the age groups, but international sanctions due to the apartheid always put a damper on South African athlete's celebrations and dreams. Unable to compete in any international competitions because of these sanctions, South Africa's top swimmers were forced to attend American universities to compete against the best in the world. But Ryk was fortunate enough to be surrounded by some of the top swimmers in South Africa at his club in Bloemfontein and soon realized his dreams of competing in the Olympics might be attainable. It was during this time that Ryk started dreaming about going to the US to study and swim and to make his Olympic dream a reality.\n\nIn 1995, at the age of 17, several colleges began recruiting Ryk for swimming scholarships. At this point, he had never visited the United States and barely spoke English. He was recruited by swimming powerhouses Michigan, Stanford, Southern California, and ASU. At that time, Michigan was his first choice because of their history of great distance swimmers. When Michigan did not guarantee him an athletic scholarship and he began seriously considering other programs, he first thought of the University of Arizona. Ryk had received a package from Arizona Head Swim Coach Frank Busch which included pictures of the Hillenbrand pool and McKale Center in the swimming media guide. For some reason, after staring at the picture of the pool and becoming mesmerized by the mountains set in the background, Ryk envisioned himself training in that pool. He soon committed to Arizona and enrolled in the fall of 1996, immediately following the Atlanta Olympic Games. Throughout the four years he competed for Arizona, he had several opportunities to show Michigan the recruiting error they had made. Ryk had become one of the most successful intercollegiate swimmers in history.\n\nDuring his career at Arizona, Ryk’s success in athletics was unparalleled. He was a nine-time NCAA National Champion (2nd most in history). He was voted Arizona Athlete of the Year and PAC-10


for example. When Jesus said "God why have you left me!?" it was very abvious from this verse that He was in pain and calling HIS GOD (NOT HIS DAD). then you claim that God did not look at him because he was carrying too much sins (without bringing any proof of this) you just believe in human thoughs and suggestions. \n\nand when it mentioned in the Bible that God has another Son!?\n\n22. "And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, Israel is My son, even My firstborn." \n\nwhich an evidence that the word "SON" does not really means "SON"! but it means something else. Israel was a person, that's why it's called the children of Israel just like children of Adam. later on some people claim that it meant the whole people of Israel! that's not correct because He would say "children" instead.\n\nwhen one of the 10 commendents says to not put no images,they draw Jesus all around the church?! like they didn't know about it.\n\nis christianity believes is based on guessing and suggestion

christians always do that.  it's the only way they can make sense of a silly mythology.

I am looking for a wedding dress. I am getting married Oct 21, 2006 and I have no idea what style I should get. I am a full figured woman and it is hard to find something that looks good on me...What do you suggest would be a good style for me?

Go to David's Bridal.  They have bridal consulatants there and will help you out immensely.  Make sure you bring a friend (who will be honest with you) to help you out. Find a bunch of different styled dresses in your size and try them all on.  If they don't fit perfectly, don't be alarmed. You can get them tailored through David's Bridal, although it it fairly expensive. \n\nFull-figured is kind of ambiguous.  Are you larger in the middle, on the top or on the bottom? Or are you larger in the hip and bust area and smaller in the middle?\n\nAvoid a lot of bustling at the back if you have a large rear.. you may think you are hiding it, but you are just emphasizing it.\n\nIf you have a large chest, AVOID A HALTER! (unless you WANT to look pornographic)\n\nIf you have large arms, consider a short sleeved, 3/4 length or long sleeved dress.  Do not do sleeveless or capped sleeves.\n\nA corset or corset-like top will help you if you have a wider middle.  It will hold you in and give you a sexy, hourglass shape.  If you have a large chest, though, it could end up TOO sexy.


About two years ago I had to cut ties with a girl I had known since high school.  She was depressed, moody, insecure, judgemental, drank too much, and I had it when she threw her keys at my face over something trivial  She really needs some industrial stength therapy and I couldn't handle it anymore.\n\nBut I was cleaning at my mom's house the other day, and I found some stuff that belonged to her, a binder full of drafts of plays that she had given me to read a long time ago.  She's in London trying to make it as a playwrite now, so I don't know if she would want them to work on again or if she would just like them for posterity.  \n\nHow should I go about returning them to her.  I don't want to ship them to the UK (they're heavy) and I don't have her address.  She no longer has any friends in our hometown, she alienated a lot of people over the years.  I know where her parents live however. Should I just drop this binder on the doorstep?  Should I attatch a note?  They don't like me much

Go ahead and do the grown-up thing. Knock on the door explain yourself and situation. 9 out of 10, they will respect you for that.


the best thing that has happened in the last 2 weeks was putting my hamster to sleep! everything in the last two weeks has been absolutely HORRIBLE!!! i have had tons of medical tests and stressers, my hamster got cancer, and i didnt get into a job i wanted, on top of that i got the flu! does god hate me? im only 12 why does he do this to me?

God does not hate you, my friend.  I can't answer why this is happening, but I can guarantee you that He can.  And He loves you more than you could ever imagine.

I need to look hot in a 2 piece by June 13. My goal is to have a tinier stomach but not lose too much of my cleavage. I'm not very fat right now, probably just a few pounds above average. I want to get hot by then. Any suggestions?

Diet, exercise, and drink plenty of water.


Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson publicly admitted that he canceled a government contract with a business because the CEO was critical of President Bush.

Freedom of speech is legal in America.  Strange how the CEO of Haliburton (VP Cheeney) stepped down.  Large overseas contracts used to go to Bectal Corp, however since the government said they would rebuild Iraq, Haliburton got the contracts and the U.S. blew up a lot of building. Thus creating a lot of work for Haliburton.   Sound fishy???   Not to mention Cheeney's gross income for 2005 was over 8 million dollars.


I do get tired of people asking questions about Bush so let's shed some light on our Perfect Congress.\n\nNBA OR NFL?\n36\nhave been accused of spousal abuse\n7\nhave been arrested for fraud\n19\nhave been accused of writing bad checks\n117\nhave directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses\n3\nhave done time for assault\n71,repeat\n71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit\n14 have been arrested on drug-related charges\n8 have been arrested for shoplifting \n21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and\n84 have been arrested for drunk driving\nwithin the last year \nCan you guess which organization this is? NBA? NFL? \nGive up? \n\nNeither.\nIt's the 535 members of \nthe United States Congress. \nThe same group who crank out hundreds of new laws each year\ndesigned to keep US in line.\n\nSo before we bash our president remember these people have also done worse in politics on top of these incidences.

Touche. So I agree with you, and I don't want to bash Bush, but what's happening in the Middle East isn't acceptable either. Where'd you get that information anyway? I want to read it.


It's seems like my marriage went from exciting and passionate, with sex no less than 3 times a week to just being roommates.  We are each other's best friend, but there's no passion anymore, and the sex is just gone.  I feel like roommates.  That's it.  Is anyone else experiencing this???

That is very strange...my husband and I are going through the same thing right now.  We've been married for 11 years  It has been frustrating.  Lack of passion has been the worst I think.  We are however determined to get through this funk.  He is reading a book called "For Men Only" and I am reading the companion book called "For Women Only" it's by the authour Feldman, Shaunti. Another good one is "His Needs, Her Needs" I can't think of the author off the top of my head but it's a good read too.  I hope that helps and I hope that you two will become more passionate and in love because of it.  Best wishes...   :)


...also known as "spanish reggae". Why is everyone hating on it? I mean, some of the beats are really similar in rhythm and everything, but it's great music, and I don't understand why people can't stand it.....

I think because they see it as Puerto Rico copying Jamaica.  Kinda like how Vanilla Ice and Eminem are being hated. \n\nHowever, "Reggaeton's roots are from Panama with the music evolving and coming to prominence in Puerto Rico. Some people believe that reggaeton beats were originally started by Panamanian rappers and were later adopted by Puerto Ricans, while others think that it was an adaption of Jamaican dancehall and reggae beats.\n\nA possible explanation is that reggaeton is actually a hybrid of many different musical genres from various countries in the Caribbean and the United States; this new musical style later became more famous when it was highly popularized as a new musical genre in Puerto Rico."


If you are nervous around a specific girl will you approach them to talk or wait for them to speak to you. Would you ask out a girl if you felt nervous around them. What are the signs ur nervous?


I know it's in my genes, but is there a way I could make my upper arm skinnier.  I'm pretty skinny but my arms are unproportional to my body.  They're not really big, but they are kinda thick.  I always get self-conscious and try to avoid wearing sleeveless shirts and tank tops.

Popeye had this problem and his girlfriend had the arms that you want. Love yourself first and wear sleeveless tops\nmen love women with developed arms.


Watch and see if someone just like the above description doesn't answer with some dumb hillbilly redneck response, expecting me to choose them as the best answer.  I swear I don't know why Yahoo doesn't properly screen potential members better!

Cuthbert Allgood was a Stephen King character. You are right about that. But what you are wrong about is that some dumb hillbilly redneck will answer it. Last I knew you aren't aloud to answer your own questions.


I watched a programme about Sprem Whales in which they portrayed a ship sinking in the open ocean, the bodies of the people were dragged to the sea floor thousands of feet down. The programme then said that if released the bodies would never make it to the surface, and showed them "floating" at a lower level... why is this ?

when scuba diving the object is to put enough air into your bouancy compensator(bc) to remain neutrally bouant at a point. so you wont sink or float anymore. its basically balancing out the pressure above you with the pressure below you by surrounding yourself with air. so if taken to a certain depth maybe a decomposing body would release enuff air to remain neutrally bouant at a certain depth.


I think it is but I still watch. I don't why? It's like watching wrestling. Do you still like it? Why?

It's like watching Jerry Springer.You can't wait to see what those dumba$$e$ will do next.It is defenitely staged.


We just had a test over this lol!  Feudalism is a system in which landholding nobles gave peasants, serfs, vassals, and knights tracts of land.  In turn, they paid taxes and pledged to fight for their lords.
