I mean, come on! Without Freddy, there is no point in performing the songs. You might as well reform the Beatles without John, George, Ringo or Paul.

First of all they are touring as Queen + Paul Rodgers. So they do not only use Queen. I agree with you Queen was the four playing together. Now the remaining two Brian and Roger decided to go on tour again. John agreed that they could and they got the blessings from Freddies mother and sister. \nWhat is the point for me as a fan? Very simple to see the guys perform again, keep the Queen music alive. Do you know how cool it to see your idols play again, and rock what they never really did since Freddie died. Just the vibe of new concerts, bootlegs, new cds, setlists, songs etc. \nThen why they do it? They said in numerous interviews NOT for the money. But just because they like to do what they're good at, make music. And if you have seen them live you could see they had enormous fun. I've seen them four times, and I could see that they were making jokes and laughing etc. \nOh yeah and Freddie was not the band. There were four of them and they had an equal share in writing and playing. But the face was Freddie I will agree, but they were a band because they were equal and good at what they all did.


If you are an ambidextrous Witch, which hand is your projective and which one is your receptive? How does one determine this?\n\nJust to note, I am quite assuredly right-handed, but as your projective and receptive hands are determined by your handedness, than what of ambidextrous Witches?

What I learned is that the right is receiving and the left is giving out. Its not so important except in circle when holding hands. You want the energy in the circle to flow correctly so we all keep the left hand down sending to your "Neighbor" and the right hand up recieving from your other "neighbor".


I heard that you are suppose to let your body rest in between work-outs but, I get discouraged quickly and rather exercise daily. But, is it safe?

Cardio at low and medium intensities can be done every day and you can mix in one or two high intensity sessions but if it is always high intensity then you should limit it to 4 or 5 times per week. \n\nAs for weight training, as long as you do not exercise a particular muscle group more than once a week then you should be ok training everyday but remember, you mind needs rest too. The rest period between workouts is where you get all your gains, as you probably know, you break down your muscle fibers in the gym then when you rest they repair and grow.\n\nAs always, you MUST listen to your body, when it feels over trained you must give it some rest to avoid injury. You will know if you are in an over trained state if your heartrate will not increase with exersice or if it drops inordinatly in BPMs druing training.


i.e. Is there a set of rules that describe right from wrong, which is independant of ourselves?

Morality is very subjective.  It's something we learn, and something we develop.   There are somethings that MOST people with agree with, like murder is wrong.  But there are many issues where people differ on it.  \nMorality is not set in stone.  It's a belief system that stems from who we are, and the society we are a part of.


i dont mean like obese or nothing but like say a girl is 5'9 and weights 164 pounds = very attractive i like women to have some meat on them it is such a turn on, does anyone else feel the same way

Its good for men to look deeper than the outside package. However if that is what you like, there's nothing wrong with it.


Comparing 45cm3 of 1.2 M HCL  And  60cm3 of 0.9 M CH3COOH. Which one will have a higher pH value?

45 cm3 = 45 mL\n\n45 mL * 1.2 M HCl = 54 mmol HCl\n\n60 mL * .9M HAc = 54 mmol HAc\n\nSince the material amount is the same, HAc (acetic acid, CH3COOH) will have a higher pH because HCl is a strong acid and it will have a low pH. CH3COOH is a weaker acid, so its pH would be higher. HCl is a strong acid because the H and the Cl are strongly solvated by water molecules because of the immense polarity of the H-Cl bond. CH3COOH is weak because, while the anion is resonance stabilized, you still have a molecule with a hydrophobic end and an electron donating group. (the CH3)

A cube of cheese is divided into 27 subcubes.  A mouse starts at one corner and eats through every subcube.  Can it finish in the middle?

It cannot end in the middle.\n\nLet's look at the cube.  \nIt's divided 3x3 to give you 27 subcubes.\nThe middle cube is therefore only one deep from any side.\nThere are eight subcubes on each corner of the cube.\nThere are six subcubes in the middle of each face of the cube.\nWe'll put all these subcubes into a group.\nCall it group A. 8+6=14 subcubes.\n\nAnd there are all the other cubes.\nThere are 27 subcubes.  14 are in group A.\nSo there are 27-14=13 of these.  \nWe'll group them together and call it group B.  13 subcubes.\n\nSome things become clear at this point.\nThe mouse could progress always ahead. So...\nEach time the mouse eats one of the group A subcubes, it must go to one of the group B subcubes.\n\nEach time it eats one of the group B subcubes, it must go to one of the group A subcubes.\n\nEven if it goes sideways, to a subcube in the same group (that's only possible for group B subcubes because they are the only subcubes where members of the group can be adjacent), what happens?\n\nThe number of subcubes in group B will reduce by two instead of one.\nThe number of subcubes in group A will remain the same as before.\n\nHowever the mouse moves and eats, there will always be more group A subcubes than there are group B subcubes.\n\nThe middle subcube belongs to group B.\nIt's one of the group of 13 subcubes.\n\nWhichever group the mouse eats from on the first day, he will always have one of group A subcubes left.\nBecause there are always more group A subcubes than group B subcubes.\n\nI'll repeat all that.\n27 subcubes, one per day = 27 days. \n13 subcubes in group B.\n14 subcubes in group A.\n\nIt is impossible for the mouse to have eaten the last group B subcube and there be no group A subcubes left.\nBecause there are always more group A subcubes than there are group B subcubes.\n\nSo the last subcube the mouse eats will always be one of group A.\nA corner subcube or a subcube that's in the middle of one of the faces.\nNot the subcube in the middle.\nQED, I think.


He seemed pretty slow to put things into action. FEMA shouldn't even exist. Just because it was mainly BLACK people don't mean we are not humans too.

No, he didn't.  None of the government agencies handled it well at all.  They just made the whole situation worse than it already was to start with rather than prepare for something like this.  For years they knew a disaster of that magnitude might hit New Orleans but did nothing to prepare for it.  And when it did they were lost.

my symptons fit that more than shingles, but ive already chicken pox!\n\ni really hope not, my final exams start in three weeks :(

I know someone who had it 3 times--and each time was pretty bad.  He is a very rare case though!  If you even THINK you may have it, stay away from people like infants and the elderly--you may be contagious and you do not want to give it to someone who has a compromised immune system!


Take a garden sprinkler, one which forces water through a tube bent into an "S" shape, so that the water is sprayed out in opposite directions at the ends of the "S", causing the sprinkler to rotate.\n\nThen, imagine submerging it in water and running the hose the other way, so that water is sucked in; which way would the sprinkler rotate? The same direction, or the opposite?

Actually, the sprinkler rotates in the same direction as before.\n\nThe motion of the water as it gets into the sprinkler exerts a force on the inner walls of the tubing that has a similar direction as in the first case. Considering the previous posted answer, the thing to consider here is the friction. In a frictionless system, it may not move at all, but since our world is not frictionless, the contact of water with the walls implies some momentum exchange.\n\nIt's hard to explain without images, but try the following. Having the sprinkler out of the water, try blowing some air inside one of the openings with your mouth or a syringe. Obviously the whole tubing will start spinning away from the direction of the blowing air. Well, the same happens with the sucked water, but instead of it being "pushed" inside, it's "pulled" inside. The process may be different in cause, but the effect is the same.


There is allot of what seems like "cover ups" from our government.

It does not matter.  We will never know what really happened.  Just like the Kennedy assassinations, Marilyn Monroe's death, aliens etc...  All of this is out of the common persons control.


Why does sugar dissovole in cold water WITH Kool-Aid mix, but needs hot water to dissovle when sugar has to dissovole with a tea mix?

Sugar will dissolve in cold beverages regardless of what else is going on.  However, in both Kool-Aid and tea, it is a fact that the sugar dissolves more easily in warmer water, and you can get more sugar to dissolve in warmer water than you can in cold water.  It wouldn't be true to say that sugar can't dissolve in cold water in a tea mix.  Kool-Aid or tea mix, it doesn't matter because neither will have a real influence on the solublily of sugar.\n\nYour observation, then, is probably just wrong.

i have just added more details and would welcome your input.\ni have indulged in anal sex and am not a smoker or heavy drinker and also slightly over weight. so please return to the original question.

Rectal bleeding has many causes including hemorrhoids, Crohn's Disease, fissures, peptic ulcer disease, polyps, amongst other reasons. Most rectal bleeding comes from the colon, rectum, or anus. The color of the blood often depends on the location of the bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. The closer the bleeding site is to the anus, the blood will be a brighter red. Bleeding from the transverse colon and the right colon tend to be dark red or maroon colored. It would be best to see your doctor to determine what the exact cause may be.

I have seen this numerous times!!  The running back with the ball gets to literally grab the tacklers facemask and shove him away.  However, when a tackler even so much as brushes his hand against the ball carrier's mask, a face-mask violation is called.  Is there actually a rule that allows this??????  Does anyone really know the answer to this?

there is a penalty for offensive face mask...a face mask hold is the same on both sides of the ball...but a stiff arm to the face mask of a defensive player is allowed as long as the face mask is not grabbed in any fashion


I've seen some women who only had one nipple pierced?  The three I know said it hurt so they didn't get the other one done.  Was wondering if anyone else had the same reason.

What's the difference between the Nextel Cup and Busch series racing? How are the cars different?

Busch series cars typically have less horsepower which is supposed to keep their speeds down, though on the superspeed ways where they have time to accelerate they can come close in top speed. There are some other minor details that are different. Namely the fuel tanks and the lenght of fuel line that a car can have etc. Oh, and since the cars are less expensive it makes it affordable for smaller owners to get involved. This also translates to smaller prize winning for each race.


My 15 year old son has developed a major attitude lately.  One day happy the next hateful and moody.  Got a call from school saying his teacher kicked him out of class for being argumentative!  whats best way to handle this???  take computer, video games?  and kick his butt?

First sit him down and talk to him and see what happenned at school.  The call said he was kicked out of class.  If its all true you do need to take his computer and video games away for awhile.  Let him know he needs to respect teachers whether he agrees with what they say or not.  Be firm with him.  All 15 year olds go thru a mouthy stage- I have one I KNOW!  good luck to u!  GROUND HIM GOOD!  let him know this is not acceptable


My brother and friend tell me to shave my balls.  I trim the pubes, but was wondering how many of you shave.  It's not a pretty subject but I want to see if this is common.

Dude.... I'm nearly 29 years old. I've been shavin my nads on the regular for about 7 years. Chicks freakin love it, because unusual, and feels sexy. Hell, It feels sexy to me too LOL and the sex is surprisingly better, esp if she is shaved too. soft smooth skin rubbing and slapping... Good shit. Easier to clean up the after-mess too :-P\n\nJust a hint, get some Johnson and Johnson BabyOil Gel.... spread on after you shave, and on a regular basis. It'll itch like a mo'fo after the first few times you do it, but the baby oil keeps the skin soft, so when the fresh hair pokes through, it doesn't irritate as much, as it's pushing through soft skin, not dry, hard skin. This too gets less intense, and any minor discomfort is easily gotten used to after the couple weeks.... Personally, I keep trimmed/shaved up about twice a week to stay smooth... You will have to find your happy medium based on how fast your pubes grow.

I put it in quotations because I am not sure if I spelled it correctly or not.  My cousin's doctor told his mother that the reason he might be having migraines the way he has is because of something called a cherry aneurysm.  I've never heard of it; he said it isn't the kind that can burst and kill you instantly.  I was just curious if there was such a thing or if the doctors were worried that it was something more and made something up; I know that is unlikely the doctor would do that, but I was just wondering.

I think what your cousin's doctor was describing was a "berry" aneurysm, which is a type of aneurysm that forms where arteries in the brain branch off from each other.(The name comes from their appearance--they look like a small berry.)  They are thought to be due to congenital weakness in the arterial walls. They are usually small, and not the kind of thing that tend to burst abruptly. There have been cases when they are only discovered incidentally at autopsy.  They can cause problems, however, and they tend to occur at multiple sites. They'll probably just follow him up periodically to make sure there aren't any issues.


ok for the past few weeks my ummmmm breasts have been hurting like crazy i dont know what it is.i dont know if it matters or not but im pregnate

That happens at times when you become pregnant. It could be preparing you for breastfeeding. Just ask your doctor and he will know exactly why.

All the main Classical music composers (too many to list )\nare from years and years ago. What about now ?

Classical music is a term that is often misused. In the music world, "classical music" refers to music from about 1720-1800. To most people, classical music is stuff with strings that sounds boring. So technically there are no more "classical" composers. Most of them died back in the 1800's. Different styles of music are popular in different time periods. So the "Classical" style of music isnt really popular right now. There are still a lot of modern composers that compose for wind bands and orchestras though. Some good wind band composers right now are Eric Whitacre, David Holsinger, David Maslanka and many many more! They would be considered 20th or 21st century composers though! But their music is still beautiful! Check them out!

Have you seen those floding sun shades, or kids tents that you can fold into little packages? They have a thin metal strip inside. I need to find out what type of material that is and if you know where to get it.

I'm not sure they use metal strips, but if they do they will be spring steel.. Spring steel is everywhere. \nI think they are more likely to use composite materials such as graphite, kevlar or glass fibre. Again these are really readily available.\nAll these materials are not really off the shelf items and are made for specific uses. You will find composite manufacturers in your yellow pages or on the internet. Hopefully they would have some local to you.

how do you trade stocks ? how do you make money off of it?

1) Save capital.\n2) Read a few books on the subject of trading and technical analysis.\n3) While you are saving capital,  paper trade(practice).\n4) If you already have the capital, skip 1 but practice.\n5) You can open a brokerage account that allows for live paper trading(practice).\n6) Start with small trades.\n7) Cut you losses quickly and take your profits.\n8) Trading is not a place for hope or greed\n9) Go with the trend. Go long when the trend is up, go short when trending down. It is more complicated then that but you can't learn to do it by posing a question here.\n\nMartin Pring has a few good books out there for beginners.

how can we look just good things and if there is any bad ting in real?

I think poeple want to romanticise the world and the past..self preservation ?\nI hear lots of people talking about past relationships in the most rosy ways...but forgot that they broke up and seemed to forget the ugly parts.\nMaybe it is some kind of instinct to help ourselves not to feel too bad....? We prefer hearing good things who cheers up too .....\nMind you, some people are the total opposites : they only see negative things and traits in other people and seem to carry the world's burden upon their shoulders. They will feel bad at every sad story their hear about and dismiss the good ones out there.\nMy point of view : it is a way to keep optimistic and not feel victimised.\nShould be a matter of balance but people have brains geared up differently.


I'm not exactly in these shoes as it isn't a diary or journal, but very close.  I feel a bit dirty and guilty.  I read only what I had to and will not read the rest although I have to keep it.  The worst part is telling someone else they had better not read any more than they already have as they will be deeply concerned even though no one is in any harm.\n\nMy question is one of scruples.  What if it was something I considered disturbing?  Should I tell?  I shouldn't even be reading it.  Thank goodness I'm not in those shoes, but it is interesting to ponder nevertheless.\n\nWhat would you do?

If no one is in harm or going to be harmed, I would let it go. You don't need to do anything. That was their private thoughts that you didn't belong reading in the first place.

Don't just talk about the "illegal Mexicans". Remember that there is a great number of Canadians, Chinese, Somalis ...

Toughen the laws.  Use I-9 forms for all jobs and really check them!  If you don't have identification to prove legal status, you don't get to work.  Give companies that hire illegal immigrants HUGE fines to pay, perhaps equal to 2-5 times the amount of money their employees should have paid in taxes on their income.  Deport the illegal immigrants back to their countries.\nAnd increase the number of visas for well-educated, smart people to come here and actually pay taxes on the work they do here!

what do i do if a girl i like is in my martial arts class and everytime we talk she would always smile and laugh. (topics are mostly school, martial arts, food, travel, and movies) I even noticed that everytime when I talked to her, she would always be holding/hugging something or having her hands pinned to something. I believe that she is trying not to play with her hair. But I'm very bad at judgment. Although we dont see each other very much, for some reason I still like her and I dont know if its the way back too. We've also been friends ever since we went to a tournament together along with the martial arts team. But I am also shy if you guys answer to ask her out. So what do I do? Note: I am very confused about this. Any guidence?

shyness is a major problem of mine too. give it a shot. martial arts should teach you self confidence. complement her technique or kata. next time a martial art movie comes out tell her how excited you are to see it. ask her if she wants to see it also. you could also try to get a group to go so its not really a date, but you get to interact with her on a more social level.


I'm an American Citizen (with no college degree or special employment skills) who's been dating an Irish Citizen for a LONG time. How the heck can I legally live and work there to be with him? (Besides being a student) I know there is an Irish work permit I can use for 4 months, but I need something to stay LONGER than that!


I just saw on the news that polar bears have a shorter hunting season because of warmer temperatures. Glacier National Park will not have glaciers in less than 50 years. Birds such as robins are now found in parts of Alaska that they were never seen in before, as well as other species.

The massive ice sheets in the Arctic are melting at alarming rates. This is causing the oceans to rise. Rising ocean levels, an estimated six feet over the next 100 years or sooner, will cause massive devastation and economic catastrophe to population centers worldwide.\n\nMalaria. Dengue Fever. Encephalitis. These names are not usually heard in emergency rooms and doctors’s offices in US. But if we don’t act to curb global warming, they will be. As temperatures rise, disease-carrying mosquitoes and rodents spread, infecting people in their wake. Doctors at the Harvard Medical School have linked recent U.S. outbreaks of dengue (‘breakbone’s) fever, malaria, hantavirus and other diseases directly to climate change.\n\nSuper powerful hurricanes, fueled by warmer ocean temperatures are the “smoking gun” of global warming. Since 1970, the number of category 4 and 5 events has jumped sharply. Hurricane Katrina, in September 2005 almost became a category 6 event. Human activities are adding an alarming amount of pollution to the earth’s atmosphere causing catastrophic shifts in weather patterns. These shifts are causing severe heat, floods and worse.


the 1st time i hear them i thought it was a parody or a joke. the next time i thought it was parody. ive never hear of anyone liking them. could this be a ploy to sabbotage rock 'n' roll?  its not just bad music, its bad intentions.

i like them, they are hippies and they are not ashamed with the way they look, i can see you prefer green day crap over real guitar players who can actually play lead guitar, if green day wasn't here to sabotage rock n roll then why is it here, be a little realistic will you, and try to have a little respect to good music even if you don't like it...


When you walk down a flight of stairs, do you have more potential energy at the top of the stairs or at the bottom?\nExplain.

You will of course have more Potential Energy at the top of the stairs. PE(grav) = H x M x g, where H is your height relative to the ground, M is your mass, and g is the acceleration of gravity (approximately 10 meters persec persec on Earth). Thus the higher you are, the greater the gravitational potential energy. So as you walk down the stairs, you decreasing your height relative to the ground, and thus lowering your PE. So what happened to the potential energy? Did it just disappear? No, the potential energy got converted into kinetic energy (you walking down the stairs) and also heat.\n\nJust as an additional note: the reason you have gravitional Potential Energy at the top of the stairs is because there is a gravitional force acting on you by the Earth. Of course when you are on the ground, there is still gravitional force acting on you. So when we talk about potential energy, we are talking about the potential energy difference between the top of the stairs and the ground, not some absolute number.


To make love... hmm... It's not as romantic as people make it out to be. 1)A WARM, SOOTHING massage with oils and candlelight and jazz music 2)While on the bed, looking into your eyes and holding your hands 3)Kissing the forehead, cheek, eyelids, and hands very softly while naked 4)cuddling before/after sex.\n\nThose things above are romantic. Sex in itself is sex. It's the after or before part that determines if it's making love.


well i don't think I have psychic ability but when I guessed something it always comes out right.\n\nfor instance: My teacher never gave me my grades in school, so she let me guess my grade so I said 80, then she let me see my grade and POOF! my grade is 80!\n\nanother instance: I was answering an exam and I didn't study before taking it, After taking my exam I closed my eyes then I guessed what grade would I get, then the number 75 came to my mind. after a week the results came in, I got a 75.\n\nanother instance: So, after these instances I tried my guessing power on my friend in school but not my classmate. So, I talked to him, then I asked him what's his next subject. He said History. So, I tried my guessing power and then I told him "You will have a long quiz". then my friend said "waaa! how did you know!"\n\n\n^_^ just sharing my story

If you are asking "Am I Psychic?" here are a few tips and ideas to ponder. Maybe I can encourage you to take a few steps in the right direction and bring out this wonder-full gift from within.

I have been friend for 2years 6month, we been have sex for 4months, we are bestfriend, i just got out a bad relationship with this guy, that i was schedule to marry. My bestfriend just got out a relationship as well. but he still but a label on the relationship as we are just friend. I explain to him i want more than friends and stated that he want a person to be his best friend and lover. i am schedule to meet his family this weekend, why is my exboyfriend get out of jail on july 82006, i believe my friend is scared that i am going back to my ex who i was in the relationship for 7years, i told him i am not going back to him. that i love him and i love with him.

what's the question here.  You guy wants to be your friend and your lover.  Sounds like he truly cares for you, and he is having you meet his family.  He just might not be ready to fully commit himself to the relationship since he just got out of one.  Just be patient.


In detail please. Why girls like it so much.

I feel like there isn't a care in the world. Almost better than sex itself. But after a WWWHHHIIILLLEEE I gotta tell him 2 f--k me.


You are a woman alone with two children 9 and 10, your husband left, you have a University education but no one will hire you, you have no money and your family will not help you. If the only option for quick money is prostitution would you do it.

well i always said to myself if that is the only way i could make sure my kids had clothes on there back a roof over there head and food in there bellies yes i would do it. no questions ask if noone else is going to look after then it better be me and noone said the kids needed to know what the mother was doing. but i dont need to do that.


i countered it with. i would get hank blalock,randy johnson and tim hudson he would get texiera,torii hunter and paul byrd do u think he will accept it and is this a good offer?

great trade for you...your getting 3 quality guys for one quality guy.  Your messing up his team threfore you have a better chance of winning your league.  He has to find another third basemen and an OF.  Third base is a hard postition to get a good player especially of Blalock's caliber.


This quest. relates to the study of data analysis.\n\nwhere experiments been done on patients in hospital that has been given no. of treatments.\n\nand the question meanning --- when some asks was it "replicated" ANSWER is yes! but do u say the experiment been replicated or the treatment been replicated.

experiment is replicated. data anaylsis has more got to do with experiments than treatments.

I am a librarian, and the absolute best place to find accurate, current salary information for all jobs is the Unityed States Department of Labor's "Occupational Outlook Handbook 2006-2007." Here is what it says about legal secretaries (click here for a full job description http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos114.htm):\n\n\nEarnings of paralegals and legal assistants vary greatly. Salaries depend on education, training, experience, the type and size of employer, and the geographic location of the job. In general, paralegals who work for large law firms or in large metropolitan areas earn more than those who work for smaller firms or in less populated regions. In addition to earning a salary, many paralegals receive bonuses. In May 2004, full-time wage and salary paralegals and legal assistants had median annual earnings, including bonuses, of $39,130. The middle 50 percent earned between $31,040 and $49,950. The top 10 percent earned more than $61,390, while the bottom 10 percent earned less than $25,360. Median annual earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of paralegals in May 2004 were as follows:\n\nFederal Government-- $59,370 \nLocal government--  $38,260 \nLegal services-- $37,870 \nState government--  $34,910

Would you be able to give me some historical references...\nKashmir Shaivism Masters have been known to teach its Mystical teachings to all worthy regardless of denominational belonging.\n\nIt was the core fondation that gave birth to Indian Suffism... \n\nI have some factual document, but would love to get more references to this... Please can you provide documentation or links are your own knowledge on the subjet ?\n\nThanks !

Indian Sufism has often used Indian symbolism. god and man relation were seen as relation between husband and wife or bethroed.\n\nSharda highlights these unsurprising similarities by stating that: "After the fall of Muslim orthodoxy from power at the centre of India for about a century, due to the invasion of Timur, the Sufi became free from the control of the Muslim orthodoxy and consorted with Hindu saints, who influenced them to an amazing extent. The Sufi adopted Monism and wifely devotion from the Vaishnava Vedantic school and Bhakti and Yogic practices from the Vaishnava Vedantic school. By that time, the popularity of the Vedantic pantheism among the Sufis had reached its zenith."6\n\nmalik mohammad jayasi wrote a sufi poetic epic. and he used tales given in hindu tradition (purans etc) to describe relation between god and man. his poetry is really hard to understand without full knowledge of stories well. though he mixed up them sometimes and he refered the story of shiva but called it krishna or like that. but stll his work was incredible.\n\n saint kabeer again used word rama for "brahma" or supreme and called himself bride of rama. though a muslim he was also a deciple of a hindu guru ramanand.\n\nbut most used symbol is all time favourite Krishna.\n\n Krishna of mahabharat is really not same krishna described as in rasas.  krishna had left brindawan when he was a kid. but his lively character got popularity in many forms.\n\n  during muslim rule when suffism came up they regularly made stories of young krishna and hundreds of gopika. if you study documents this form of krishna came up with rise of suffism. they actually used krishna as god and all gopikas were supposedly humans trying to reach him. sufi and bhakti both tradition came up side by side. \n\n Sufism is never characterised under "Islam" in any system of catalogue, but rather under 'Mysticism'. Vedanta, the chief Hindu philosophy, which is an example of pantheism in its metaphysical strictness, also had a great impact on Sufism following the conquest of Sindh by Muhammad b. Qasim in the second century A.H.\n\nhttp://www.ahya.org/amm/modules.php?\nname=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=70\n\nMan tu shudam,\nTu man shudi,\nMan tan shudam tu jaan shudi\nTakas nagoyad ba azeem man deegaram tu deegari.\n\nI have become you and you have become me,\nIn my body is your soul,\nMay none say hereafter that you and I are different beings, wrote Amir Khusrau.\nThe message is that “One who dies for the love of Truth (God) dies a Sufi (Pure) - and Sufis never die.” Sufi liberalism had other important aspects. While music and dance, dear to the Indian soul, were anathema to the ulema, they were encouraged in Sufi hospices. Sufi music is full of passionate devotion to God, the unity of body-and-soul and the oneness of mankind. Realising these truths leads to haal or a state of mystic exaltation.\n\nThe Sufis incorporated aspects of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity freely into their teaching. They took concepts such as Moksha from Hinduism and Nirvana from Buddhism. The Sufi doctrines of Fana and Baqa (annihilation and subsistence) correspond to Nirvana.\n\nNo systematic studies of Kashmiri Islam have been carried out. But its situation is very similar to that of Indonesian Islam, and one might use the analysis of Clifford Geertz (1960) and successors (Hefner 1985, Kipp and Rodgers 1987) to understand its dynamics. We then have the classification of orthodox , traditional , and karkun (urban, State employees) to parallel the labels of santri, abangan, priyayi for Javanese Islam. The interesting aspect of this classification is the fact that the karkun (or the priyayi in Java) has an ethos outside the main religious framework. In Java  the priyayi are Muslims who hold on secretly to the Hindu-Buddhist values,  whereas in Kashmir the karkun  have generally been the Hindus of the valley. In other words, if the orthodox are t


I am a female aged almost 49 years on the change of life.  I have had a few panic attacks when my heart was pounding and I thought I was going to die.  I feel as though I am becoming neurotic, what can I do to alleviate this problem, also, will this go when i am past the change? Please help, sometimes i feel as though i am going off my head, i also occasionally get bad thoughts, they are only thoughts though, i would never do anything bad.  Any help would be MUCH appreciated, thanks in anticipation. x

It really sounds like you are having panic attacks or problems with anxiety.  This can be brought on by "the change of life", However I would recommend you go see your family doctor or your OB.  It sounds like you may need a hormone replacement.


I am a Catholic, and we don't blieve in invading other Countries, and killing women and baby's over Religion. The Pope is against it! So what do you say, since there is no Osama Bin Laden or WMD's in Iraq?

i plan on starting my own band and i wanted to call it FIN. the french word for end.

Its also the Spanish word for end.  I don't know of a band named fin but I do know there is a song called "Fin" by the Spanish rock band Jaguares.


Robert Plant's name comes up when I search for that line, but that's not the right song, so that must not be the actual song title.

I am a junior in high school and this girl and I have been friends since we were little. Earlier this year she started to talk to me more and more as the year went on. So I decided to ask her to go to lunch with me, and she wanted to put it off until later and would apologize the next day for not being able to go with. So i decided to ask her if she wanted to the movie that night and she said she was "busy" and would apologize later for not going with. At a school dance i asked if she wanted to just be "friends or anything else" and she agreed. Now after that she wont even initiate the conversation anymore, I have to now. I was wondering what the problem is because she is not as social to me anymore.

Maybe youre up her butt. Try not to be up her butt. If someone is always trying to bug me with stuff I certainly would avoid conversation too. Maybe youre creepy in your approach. I dunno, why dont you ask her?\n\nEdit: ass is a swear? lol

I had fun today. No worries. Unusual but nice.

Good for you. :) I like when people post good things like this. You know, everyday is a good for me. I have my problems, but we all do. Sometimes my problems are unbearable,but I learn to live with them knowing that someone is feeling worse than I am and I know that every problem has its solution and it's a matter of attitude.  A good attitude really chases the pain away. :)\n\nI wish that you have more good days ahead of you.


My boyfriend & I have always had a very good sex life. Now a days, We have our foreplay ( where he is erected) but right before he is about to go in me, he loses his erection and gets soft in the matter of 5 seconds..any advice or suggestions of why this could be happening. Im starting to think maybe I am not sexually appetizing to him? He is only 21 so I really dont think he has a physical problem. It really bothers me and makes me feel low. I need to know if any other men go through this issue and what they did to resolve it. I need to be in a happy relationship and not having sex is tearing us apart. I just find it so weird that we used to be extremely sexually active and there was never any issues, and all of a sudden...now he cant even keep it hard enough to actually have sex. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Believe it or not his age or if he is sexually attracted to you could have absolutely nothing to do with it.  If he recently took any medicine I mean anything, that can have an effect on it and make is erection not last as long.  He also could unconsiously be having some issues.  If a man feels insecure or any sort of problem then they can experience other issues.  Believe it or not women and men both can have problems like this.  The environment you are in, the stress of your day, little things can make a man lose his erection or a women to not remain moist.  See I'm 22 and my boyfriend is 33.  He has that problem sometimes, and I know you may think it is because he is older.  But little things like a stomach ache can influence his performance, if he is tired it can alter it, if we have sex a lot in one day it can just be that one time, and then 20 minutes later he can be fine.  But if you make it a big deal, that can also be a problem, because if he feels insecure about the fact that it even happened the first time, that could be the problem.  If he felt insecure the first time, everytime there after he could be thinking about how he hopes it doesn't happen and then it might happen just because he is thinking about it.  I would just try to work on keeping him going through 4 play first, then once he seems to be completely into it then try sex, but if he goes to lose his erection go right back to 4 play and try to keep him hard, don't just stop because that could make him more insecure.


If you look at the label on mens pants, there is a waist and inseam measurement, for example 36 waist, 34 inseam. How is the inseam stat measured, from waist to ankle, or from crotch (of pants) to ankle?

From the crotch to the ankle or what ever length he wears\nhis pants. Some men like them longer than just to the ankle.


There is this news about the threat of the England FA Sponsor that if David Beckamp of Real Madrid will not lead the team to the world cup they will withdraw.

beckham will be captain. there is just some media speculation about the chances of the next england manager stripping beckham of captaincy, since he hasn't been playing well lately, and putting someone else as captain.  the england sponsors would be worried at that because beckham is such a big brand.


I know it's not all the time, but most of the time, people just assume that if a girl is skinny she has an eating disorder...why is this?

I dont know but it drives me insane! I have this problem at school. At one point I was a little heavier than I am now and now that I lost weight people look at me differently or not at all, its a little sad and pathetic, because this goes to show how shallow people are and how judgmental they are as well! If you are struggling with this problem just think how shallow and immature these people judging you are, it helps when you are trying to get through a day!

Why does the god of fertility became the lord of flies?\n\nis that how religion put down their competitors?\n\nno offense ok? i'm just curious as how one religion can make a demon out of the other's god...

To be precise, the original name was "Ba`al Zebul".  This was an honorific title "the Lord, the Prince", that the Phoenicians used for their god not his name; his "proper name"was Hadad.  ("Zebulon" is, however, a Hebrew word from the same root.)\n\nNow keep in mind that to the people of Israel the worship of this god of the Phoenicians, and the various practices that went with that practice, was undermining the worship of THEIR God (Yhwh, traditionally "the LORD").  So don' be surprised if they didn't want to use this flattering title for him!!\n\nSo what happened at some point is that speakers or perhaps later scribes who did not want to write such a name for this god of the pagans made a slight change, a wordplay, on the name, changing it to "Ba`al Zebub",  or "Lord of the flies".\n\nActually, the original name DID persist, and the NT writers use the old form which comes through Greek as "Beelzeboul"  (though the variant Beelzeboub, our modern "Beelzebub" is also found).\n\nDo note that the use of this name for a DEMON, in fact for THE demon par excellence --"Satan"--  came MUCH later than the OT uses of "Ba`al Zebub", at a time when the worshp of the OT "Baal" storm and fertitiliy gods had died out.  In other words, by the time it became an alternate name for "the Devil" no one was even worshiping the old fertility God.\n\n(On the importance of this god -- we have many examples of this title "the Prince" used for him in ancient tablets from the Phoenician coast [the ancient port city of Ugarit].  These tablets also help to demonstrate that the name of Queen JEZEBEL, daughter of a Phoenician king, actually means "Where is the Prince?"   It is a cry of worship, calling for this god to come and act.   The same sort of expression is used by Elisha in 2 Kings 2, where he calls out "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" when calling on God to part the wates of the Jordan.)


"Geisha originated as skilled professional entertainers; originally most were male. While various ranks of professional courtesans provided sexual entertainment, geisha used their skills in traditional Japanese arts, music, dance, and storytelling. Town (machi) geisha worked freelance at parties outside the various pleasure quarters, while quarter (kuruwa) geisha entertained at parties within the pleasure quarters. As the artistic skills of high-ranking courtesans declined, the skills of the geisha, who were both male and female, became more in demand.\n\nMale geisha (sometimes known as hōkan) gradually began to decline, and by 1800 female geisha (originally known as onna geisha, literally woman geisha) outnumbered them by three to one, and the term "geisha" came to be understood as referring to skilled female entertainers, as it does today.\n\nTraditionally, geisha began their training at a very young age. Some girls were sold to geisha houses as children, and began their training in various traditional arts almost immediately.\n\nDuring their childhood, geisha sometimes worked first as maids or assistants to experienced geisha, and then as apprentice geisha (maiko) during their training. This tradition of training exists as well in other traditions in Japan, when a student lives at the home, starting out doing housework and assisting the master, and eventually himself or herself becoming a master.\n\nThere remains some confusion, particularly outside Japan, about the nature of the geisha profession. This issue has been complicated by Japanese prostitutes, particularly at onsen, who wish to co-opt the prestige of the geisha image by marketing themselves to tourists (both Japanese and non-Japanese) as "geisha," and by inaccurate depictions of geisha in Western popular culture, such as the novel and film Memoirs of a Geisha.\n\nTraditionally, geisha must remain unmarried (or retire upon their marriage), though it is not uncommon for them to have children. While geisha engagements often include flirting and even suggestive banter (albeit codified in traditional ways), they never involve sexual activity, and a geisha is not paid for sex, though an individual geisha may choose to engage in sexual relations with one of her patrons outside the context of her role as a geisha. And because such relations are related to the ability of a customer to pay for a geisha's traditional services, the argument can be made that this is just a convoluted form of prostitution.\n\nIt was also traditional for established geisha to take a danna, or patron. A danna was typically a wealthy man, sometimes married, who had the means to support the very large expenses related to a geisha's traditional training and other considerable costs. This sometimes occurs today as well.\n\nAlthough a geisha and her danna may be in love, the affair is customarily contingent upon the danna's ability to offer her financial support. The traditional conventions and values within such a relationship are very intricate and not well understood, even by many Japanese."\n\nOver all, they can have sex with anyone they want, but their virginity used to be auctioned off. Besides that, there's no sexual contact involved.


This guy at my school seems to keep giving me glances and I really like him. How do I do it?

hold on to that glance.  Keep eye contact with him and then walk over and say what's up.  Or wink at him when he looks at you and see what he does.


Julio Franco is a 47 year-old major league baseball player (yeah, still playing).  He has a unique way of doing things that many attribute to his longevity.  This includes the drink/shake, whatever it is.  I heard the ingredients on some show, but I cannot remember what they are.  If somebody knows and will tell me, I would be muy grateful.  Thank you.

I wish I knew! Atlanta (where I hale from) called him the ageless wonder. I would love to know the answer. You could contact him. I don't know who he plays for now, but if you go to his teams web site, they have a way you can contact the players. You might want to try that.


Some people tend to get stuck in the negative things that are happening in life instead of looking at all the good things............what are some positives happening in your life right now...positive things in relationships, great memory, etc.

I know what you mean.  My husband is a soldier in the Army.  We spend a lot of time apart with him in very dangerous situations. It would be really easy to get down, or be negative.  I just keep in mind that my husband is a great and brave man fighting for those too weak to fight for themselves.  What keeps me going is the pride I feel for him, and the wonderful moments come everyday when you treasure each other the way we do.\n\nGet Blessed!


we hear of people comming back after clinical death, so how come jesus is so special

In most religions that predate Christianity have a god or idol that died and rose from the grave.


work with my ex and we have been talking again, small talk, when we see each other at work for a couple of weeks now. We have been be apart for the past three months. Lately it seems we are talking more and kind of flirting with each other the way we did before we started dating. Is she giving me signals or am I reading in to this too much?\n\nShe broke it off, she said she needed some time and space. I might have spent way too much time with her, crowded her a bit a think.\nShe keeps telling me that she will bring her dog up to work so I can see her. I miss that dog I'll admit it.

They moan and complain about everything.\nExamples:\nMoan: Weather is too hot/cold/wet/windy.\nGroan: People smoking near to me makes me smell.\nGripe: No one smokes anymore and I have to pay more tax\nGrumble: There's never anything to watch on the television.\nBellyache: There's too much violence, sex and swearing on television.\nHell - The only thing that get's my goat is when I hear Yanks and Limeys complaining. You all make me sick and should be lined up against a wall. *pop* *pop* *pop*.\nI look forward to having my IM removed, Cos I know you complainers won't be able to resist filing your complaints.(What will the reason be - "He called Americans and Brits a bunch of complainers and no one else. That's not P.C.")\nBloody hell - There is no category for Moaning about Moaners.\nIt'll have to go as Love & Romance, cos most sad loser whingers check those posts out the most.\nGo on - Tell me I'm wrong........

Piss off you ignorant racist puke. Thanks for the points though , you sniveling little whiner.


i really like this guy and he flirts with me all the time and he has even said that he would like to go out with me....but when we last talked i told him that i was with josh (a guy friend) and then he tells me that he was with his new girlfriend.....does he want to go out with me or is he just playing games with me?

I think he was just jealous that you said you were with Josh.  Once he heard you were with another guy, he felt like he had to have a comeback.  That's most likely why he said he has a new girlfriend.  You should sit him down and talk to him about how you really feel.  He's probably confused, so you should tell him that Josh is JUST A FRIEND.  Tell him you really like him & still want to go out with him, and ask if he really does have a girlfriend or not.  Good luck with this!


hang around him. All of your friends get together with his friends.


It's due tomorrow, so (obviously) I'm getting desperate. The question I'm stuck on is about the superposition of two plane waves... I've found the probability density of the superposition, but the next part of the question is asking for a calculation of the time-average of the probability density as a function of position. I have NO IDEA what this means. Does anyone know what a "time-average of the probability density" is?

time average means sum of hte probability density over a certain time interval divided by the time interval. and it will be a function of position since the wave function is a function of position AND time.\nso u have W(x,t) where W is the wave function and x is position t is time. you integrate it with respect to time from a starting time to an ending time (not that hard, its just integral of e^-iwt, i think) and then divide by the time interval. and ya. i dunno.\n\nhope that helps. let meknow if u need more help. later


Truth is naked when it cannot be concealed by pretty lies or fashionable conventions or beautiful expressions or flattering appeals to the listener's vanity. The truth then is what it is, ugly or not, warts and all, unvarnished, plain for all to see, with no conceits to trick the viewer or deceive the listener. Truth is neither sweetly scented nor prepared to one's taste. It merely presents itself as it came into the world, naked with no adornment, or it is not the truth at all, but fiction.


okay,\n\nIs it just me or did anyone out there notice that the corton of orange juice i ate this morning was a secret portol to a land of orange plaster? You had to do the native shoshown-indian tribal dance in the orange juice to get in the portol though, but it was obviously there.

you think that was good try the pineapple juice and don't even get me started on the apple juice


This is our country and english is spoken here ! Yes it is nice to speak a second language ! But dont expect me, no matter what state, Texas, Florida , California or New York , to speak anything other than ENGLISH. Also someone brought up a great point, why must i have directions with other languages in them?Why must i go to McDONALDS and see table tents with ENGLISH and spanish written on them ? I live in pittsburgh and i see this.. WHY ???????

Illegal Latino immigrants and their supporters are ignorant as H3LL!!  They are the only nationality in our country here illegally, who protest in our country, fly their country's flags, disrespects our flag, leaders, laws, National Anthem, Citizens, abuse our welfare system, take slave wages for jobs Americans WILL do for a fair wage, cause incomes to plummet, are a drain on our economy, cause hundreds of hospitals to close, glut our ER's for non-emergency illnesses, glut our prisons, and on and on and on. NO! If I knew Spanish I wouldn't speak it now, out of respect for my own language, the language the majority of people here use. English is the unified language even if it isn't the official language. In order to assimilate in this country people need to speak the same language. Other immigrants manage to learn English, why can't they!? They need to go home get civilized then come back the LEGAL way!!


if they dont do anything, why do dudes even have nipplies?

because males MAY use them as stimulation receptors, they aren't ruled out by evolution\nso infact that are used, just not like females use them (think about it, if a male has nipples and uses them this way, then he would be able to spread his charateristic to more females thereby increasing the popularity and favorability of the trait)\nas for the question of why they there in the first place...\nits one of those characteristics that are kept when the baby is developing in the womb


If not, how were more offspring produced?

They didnt exist so the answer is no because they needed to exist first in order for the analysis to begin.\n\nWe know they didnt exist because science has demonstrated that we evolved to "humans" we were simply plopped on earth. We know the earth is billions of years old. We have found the remains of hominid life forms and we have shown the process of evolution. \n\nDividing this into macro and micro is silly and the uptiome of rationlization. Sorry, I too wish I was made in God's image.


i have been having back trouble in my lower back area and when i walk for awile my back hurts down there and after awile the pain like stop and then my back like is numb or has no feeling or something what could cause this ??

It sounds like a slipped disk. You need to tell your Doctor. He will probably get an MRI to check it out.


In my opinion... not even if it snowed in hell. Considering how Microsoft tried to undermine Sun's Java technology, I think it unlikely that the two companies will partner in anything in the near future.\n\nSun sued Microsoft and under the settlement, Microsoft paid Sun $20 million and was permanently prohibited from using "Java compatible" trademarks on its products. Sun also had the option to terminate the licensing agreement it signed with Microsoft.


Poor acting from TI, looks like they'll give anyone a movie these days.

What gets me is a look up what ATL is about and 2 minutes later, I've totally forgotten what the movie is about.  I would list it as the worst title ever for a movie.

True Story: \n\nI was in the basement f'ing around with a television I got out of a dumpster when I literally electrocuted myself. I fell to the ground and could not move. \n\nI prayed to God that my wife upstairs would come find me. \n\nI heard footsteps upstairs... She was headed to the basement door! I could see her shadow approaching it.\n\nI started to thank God for answering my prayer when my wife said: "No wonder it's so cold up here! Shut the God Damn Door!" and she slammed it shut.\n\nAnd I continued to lay there.


Do you practice nurturing your mental and emotional health on a daily basis?  Are you mindful of your attitude and how it effects others?  Do you love your life or are you just completely indifferent to your existence?

Sometimes you have to get caught up in the blah, to appreciate the good.  I am not suggesting dwell on the blah's, but learn from them so you can do better next time.  I love life, I love my children's life, I love my husband's life.  I thank god every day for my wonderful life, and when I think I have it bad, I can think of others that have it ten times worse then I do.  This is always a humbleing experience.  Life in my opinion is a gift, and I fully plan to appreciate every day that I have with those that I love.


myalgia,mucosal hyperemia,erythematous\nrash,desquamation,empyema,septicemia,pyemia,endocarditis,pyrexia. I know it is a lot of words,but PLEASE help me with them?

Myalgia: The prefix Myo = Muscules the suffix:Lgia= Pain\nso it means mascular pain.\n\nMucosa: Mucosa is moist tissue that lines particular organs and body cavities throughout the body (eg, the inner cheek) ,Glands along the mucosa secrete mucus (a thick fluid). Like the skin covering the body from the outside mucosa covers the body from the inside!\nHyperimea= mild inflamation.\nso mucosal hyperimea= inflamation of the mucosal tissues.\n\nErythmatous rash: Erythema= Red so the meaning is reddish rash.\n\nDesquamation: The shedding of the outer layers of the skin. For example, once the rash of  measles fades, there is desquamation. The word comes from the Latin "desquamare" meaning "to scrape the scales off a fish."\n\nEmpyema:the suffix pyema= pus\nIt's severe infection of the lungs leading to accumilation of pus (inflammatory fluid) around the lungs leading to breathing difficulties. Empyema can be a complication of any other form of lung inflamation ex,pnumonia,lung abcess..etc. \nEmpyema can be fatal if not treated promptly.\n\nsept: this is a prefix meaning bacterial infection.

If you can get a partner of any sort in the USA then the USA has major problems, go fish dude!


i want an example which explain every step in answering,please

Consider K_3,3, which is the graph obtained when you draw all lines between 3 points {a,b,c} and three other points {x,y,z}. So there is a line between a and x, but not one between a and b.\n\nAn automorphism, f, will take a to one of the six points. There are two possibilities: either f(a) is in {a,b,c} or f(a) is in {x,y,z}. In the first case, {f(a), f(b), f(c)} is a permutation of {a,b,c} and {f(x),f(y),f(z)} is a permutation of {x,y,z}. In the second case, it goes the other way around. Furthermore, any two permutations in both sets will lead to an automorphism of your graph.\n\nThus, the order of the automorphism group will be 6*6*2=72.\nThere is a subgroup isomorphic to S_3 cross S_3 of index 2. Just checking commutativity tells us that the reflection between {a,b,c} and {x,y,z} is not in the center, and in fact, conjugation by the reflection reverses the order of elements in S_3xS_3. Thus, the automorphism group is the semi-direct product of S_3 cross S_3 with Z_2 where Z_2 reverses the order of the cross product.\n\nI hope this helps!


I'm a 5'1" setter, and next year will be trying out for varsity. However, there's a freshman coming up that could easily take it away from me, so does anyone have any tips or drill that I could use to become a better setter?? Thanks!

I think the best drill to do is to practice getting a feel for the size of the ball.  Practice against the wall by repeatedly setting the ball against the wall.  You can even look at markings on the wall and try to set the ball to touch the mark.  You can try different distances from the wall too.\n\nIf you have access to a weighted setters ball (kind of like a tetherball but volleyball sized) you can try to practice setting with that.  It should strengthen your wrists.\n\nSince you are on the shorter side, I would say it's also a good idea to learn to use your knees and weight to get more power into your set (allowing you to set higher/farther).  I don't have a lot of experience with this (I am a 5'6" guy with very good "hops") however but supposedly that helps.\n\nYou can also work on a "back set" where you set the hitter behind you.  If you develop a smooth back set, you can freeze the middle blocker from always committing to the side you are setting.  The key to this is to not arch your back too much and release the ball slightly behind "overhead."  You can work on your quick sets to keep the opponent off balance (1's) too.\n\nThe key to setting is control.  I say you should never be so aggressive to force a set.  If you get a bad pass, it's better to just get it up so that it's playable, even if it's off the net.  Putting up a nice "10" is better than forcing a bad outside.  You should think about your hitters' angles too.  It is much more difficult for a hitter to hit a set that is coming from directly behind them.  For example, if you receive a bad pass at the 5 position (right back), it is better to set the weak side (2 position) or the middle hitter (3 position).  The strong side hitter (4 position) will have a bad angle and it will be more difficult for that person to get a good hit.  Also you can work on your "pass" (or "bump"--the colloquial term) as a set too if the pass is too low.\n\nAnother important point is communication.  You should call "help" early and AUDIBLY if you cannot get to it.  If you should wish, you can say something like "right here" or something like that so that your teammates can hear where you are as they are passing to you.  I can tell you the main difference I see in high school players versus older, more experienced players is their talking.  You should help call in or out if you can.  You can communicate to your hitters how many blockers they are going up against right after you set it, you can call out "one" or "two" or whatever.  Or you can tell them where to hit it (line, angle, etc.) or adjust your sets based on what the opponent is blocking.\n\nI can go on an on about this, obviously.  But communication is key.  Your coach will love you for talking.\n\nOne thing that you can also do is to find out where and how your hitters like to be set.  I have hitters who like their sets really high, others who like it rather low (i.e. "loop") and others who like it "off" and others who like it "tight."  Finding that out will help you set them better and thus make you look better.


Andrei Arlovski beat Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight belt on Feb 5 2005 and for the rematch Tim Slyvia beat Andrei Arlovski for the belt on April 15 2006 so who is going to win when they fight again

I'm preety sure AA is going to win.\nI mean,If he beat Tim Sylvia once, there is a pretty good chance of him winning again. Plus, I don't think Tim has much skill. The only reason he wins most of his fights is because he's big.....

I was with my ex for nearly 10 years and we split as he cheated on me. We both had short term relationships after but neither of them worked out (his has very recently finished) I miss him so much and want to get him back with me but i dont no where to start.  Weve been spending a bit of time together recently and this has just made me more sure this is where i want to be with him.  We have 2 kids together and i dont want them messed around but equally I dont want them knowing how upset i feel by all this. Please help - i dont know if i should tell him how i feel or not.

just sit him down and tell him.\nit makes it easier that u guys have been together recently, that means he too is willing to come back. tell him u love him so much and u think u guys are good together but u must also discuss the reason u split if not it may happen again. but try not to act too desperate, like ur world fell apart when u guys split cos that could turn him off, ok?\ndont act like it didnt happen, if he did it once and doesnt see why he shouldnt do it agian, u just might split again...\ni really want it to work out fine for u especially since he is the father of your kids...\ntell us how it goes... cheers!

What is culture shock and where are how have you experienced it?

Culture Shock\n\n The definition of culture shock is the trauma you experience when you move into a culture different from your home culture.\n\nA communication problem that involves the frustrations that come with the lack of understanding; the verbal and nonverbal communication of the new culture, it's customs and it's value systems are only a few of the problems.\n\nThe differences that people may experience include lack of food, unacceptable standards of cleanliness, different bathroom facilities and fear of personal safety.\n\nWhen we first went to Canada, I was like, "Oh my God, everyone actually follows rules around here. It's so quiet!"..Food was BIG and it was so friggin' cold..I wasn't used to wearing jackets instead of shorts... I wasn't really that severe coz I spoke english but when it's China or some similar place,everyone's talking, you can't understand a thing that they're saying, they're offering you food you don't know...It's kinda scary at first but you eventually get used to it and end up appreciating the culture.

Can anyone tell me what I could do, or who I could call to find out about this?

Find out who was his lawyer - maybe they can help.  Do you know who was the executor.  Can you remember at the time any dealings with regard to property or lawyers that can at least give you a starting point.  I do not think that wills are public property so you would need the lawyer or executor's permission.


I entered into a city tournament and I they asked me what level of play am I.   I really dont know.

3.0 \nYou are fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but are not comfortable with all strokes and lack execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power. Your most common doubles formation is one-up, one-back. \n\n3.5 \nYou have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but need to develop depth and variety. You exhibit more aggressive net play, have improved court coverage and are developing teamwork in doubles. \n\n4.0 \nYou have dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate-paced shots.  You can use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success and occasionally force errors when serving. Rallies may be lost due to impatience. Teamwork in doubles is evident.


The Adonis Blue butterfly is found in the United Kingdom and European Countries. The Adonis Blue's scientific name is Lyandra Bellargus and is in the family of the Lycaenidae Family of butterflies. I have been seaching many websites and still can not find an answer to the Adonis Blue's lifespan, once a butterfly how many months will it live?

From my searches it looks like they live about 2 months. Check the table in the link below to see.


I Told Her One Day. I Think I Affended Her, Later I Asked Her Why. And She Didnt Know. So Im Trying To Figure Out Why Some People Smell like Butt. She Also Told Me That She Sweated When She Sat. Like Where Her She Sits. And When She Stands Up She Looks Down On Her Chair And A Little Stain Like Sweat On The Chair (kind of wet). Please Help.

Does she bathe daily? Does she prespire more then the average person? It's not normal for a person to smell like butt (except for someone's actual butt or a dirty belly button). Maybe she needs to change brands of soap. She could be having a yeast rash in places where her skin rubs against other skin and it is causing the odor. \n  She should shower every morning using a strong smelling soap (like Caresss.. smells good and the smell stays for a while) and maybe every other night soak in a bathtub with some baking powder in it. If it's a yeast rash, she needs to rub some plain yogurt in there, don't worry it doesn't get that stinky old diary smell.\n  She should also use some type of good powder in places where skin meets skin (under arms, breast, inner thighs etc) to absorb moisture and wash all her clothes in hot water with a good detergent like Tide or Gain. \n  As for the sweat stain she leaves on seats, the powder should help that. Never ever put deoderant anywhere near there. Wearing a panty liner and cotton underwear should help too.\n  BO is embarrassing to the person who has it, and to everyone else that smells it. Even though you offended her, you did right to let her know that others can smell her. As painful as it is, at least she's aware that others can smell what she smells so she can do something about it. \n She probably should talk to a doctor about the problem if she's sure she's keeping herself clean enough. I don't know about butt smell but I know that some odors that emit from the body could signify underlying metabolism problems. Like the urine smelling like maple syrup and sweat smelling like flowers.


My girl and I met my senior year of college and lived together for five years.  We never had any problems getting along in or outside of the bedroom.  She asked many times for engagement but for reasons outside of her. I would give her a date just to by more time, this happened 4 to 5 times. I know this was an A-hole move and thats the main reason I am able to cope with what happened.  The past dec. she gave me a new years ultimatum which was impossible.(I should have been saving)  I told her feb would be better and she was done.  Jan she was distant, and broke it off with me by the end of Jan. and told me not to get the ring.We still talked everyday. I didnt listen got the ring and before saying yes told me she had slept with her ex and had considered being with him.  I forgave her and she is great.My problem is that she slept with her ex before she split with me&lied to my face about what was going on no less than a 100 times.  She was always so true before, is she ruined?

She may be ruined...If you can trust her, you two will be alright. If you have any doubt you relationship will tarnish faster than that ring.

I think in the last 20 years I have been a member of a gym for 10 yrs and probably been 10 times in 10 years. What a waste of money. Can anyone beat that.

I'm sure there are people who can beat that. I had one membership I never used, and another I used about 10 times in half a year. \nI heard that gyms make most thier money on people like us, and had everybody used thier membership, gyms would go out of business.


I am not sure about my observation but it seems every time I try to get a doctor's comment or opinion for a particular  action or diagnosis of another doctor I can't get a straight answer. Most of the time the doctor being asked opted to evade the question. How can you ever get a reliable second medical opinion then? Is there some kind of code of ethics being violated here?

It's one thing to ask a doctor to give you a second opinion and yet another to ask the doctor to comment on the competency of another doctor.\n\nI've never had to get a second opinion on a diagnosis, but I'd handle it by going to another doctor or specialist and not tell them what the previous doctor had said.  After they decide what they think it is, then I'd tell them about the previous diagnosis.  It will prevent them from having any preconceived ideas prior to doing their own examination.\n\nI doubt any ethical codes have been violated, doctors simply can't come up with an opinion on what another doctor has said unless they know exactly how that doctor came to their diagnosis.  So, unless you have your charts forwarded to the new office and perhaps have the docs discuss with each other, the second doctor simply doesn't have enough information to make an educated comment on the first doctor's actions. So, no, no ethical codes have been violated.


I have a Mac G4 Cube whos USB ports are dead. It works fine otherwise but I can not use the keyboard (or any other USB device) to start up in firewire target disk mode. \n\nWhat can I do to recover my data? \n\nThere has to be something I'm not thinking about without having to spend a lot of money on this otherwise outdated computer.

As long as the partition table is intact you should be able to remove the hard disk, attach it to another desktop mac and copy yur files to it.  You could also remove the disk and place it in a firewire enclosure and do the same.  I recommend  strongly not to back up to a windows machine, but if you do, make sure it is saved on an ntfs partition or your files will be damaged.

Well yes they still do. Even if you completely delete everything out of your system, the only way to completely get rid of those naughty sites is to blow up the hard drive. ------ Just kidding. But, noticed that when CIA and FBI informants lose classified information, they always have to destroy the hard drive. The reason for this is because an experienced computer guy or girl can take your hard drive, open it up and scan the groves where the reader touches the drive. I remember vaguely of the deatils since i learned this in class but, go to the Start Menu and right click it. Click Explore. Find your Temporary Internet folder and delete all the things you don't eant to be seen. That is the file you are looking for and its not a hidden file. Like i said i couldn't give you the directory for this information b/c it has been a while. \n\nAND STAY OFF THOSE NAUGHTY SITES!!!!!\nESPECIALLY IF YOUR A MINOR!!!!!

The ties are to make a t-shirt into a sleeveless shirt.

Get some elastic or velcro from your local drapery store, it be a lot cheaper than buying strapes if the girls lose them..


I've recently been hearing that people believe dinosaurs bones were created by satan and placed in the ground as a ploy to to try and discredit the bible. Does anyone in here believe this? Why or why not?

Christians suppose themselves to be so humble, but they are confident to tell you exactly what the second most powerful supernatural being, who wants to trick us, wouldn't do.  You all ought to say "I don't know."  \n\nI think the existance of dinosaurs definitely threatens the veracity of Genesis, and the supposed 6000 year age of Earth.

You must be doing something that makes your email look like spam, such as using "bcc", or not providing a subject, or including a script or an image in your signature, or...\n\nthe people you are sending to have their spam filters set to be very sensitive.  They will need to add your email address to their "white list", or use whatever technique their filter relies on to know which "from" addresses are to be trusted.


I think he would make a fantastic president. If you have not heard of him then please do not answer, leave that to the intellegent people.

I would vote for Barrack Obama because he stands for something and he supports the Democratic Agenda. As for whether I would vote for Condoleezza Rice the answer would be no. I am a Democrat and would never vote for someone who belongs to the immoral Republican Party.
