A while back I saw a piece on CNN that said some teaching hospitals allow residents to perform pap smears on female patients while under general anesthesia without their knowledge or consent.  They were never told.  Is this ethical?  How is this even legal?

I can not imagine anything more unethical and damaging. Many people who are under anesthesia or in a coma are also more conscious than others as has been proved when patients who love their doctor wake up and despise him. It was found that many patients were able to hear things that happened and jokes told during surgery. Many doctors abandoned the practice.\nAny hospital that would perform such an action should be sued and big time. This is cruel and damaging.


Both my grandparents and my uncle have it. My dad is very fit and doesn't, and neither do I... do you think staying fit can keep both of us from having it or is it inevitable?

I'm not sure there is an exact answer to your question. You are at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later on in life simply based on the family history... BUT... you are obviously doing things to stay in shape and reduce your risk factors. Continue to exercise, eat right, and have regular check ups with your doctor. Hopefully, everything you are doing to stay in good health will warn off the disease. However, this is not a 100% guarantee. Keep doing what you are doing and you will definitely reduce your risk factors for developing the condition. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...


ok this is a hard one. i've only heard part of this song twice, but i though it sounded cool. all i know is that in the chorus they say something about "this is the rise of" and i want to say "new generation", but i could be wrong. I think it sounds along the lines of the "Animals" or "Steppenwolf" or someone like that.....can you help???


I have a deck and when it rains, i see leeches crawling on the walls and then under the door, and into the food pantry/ What to do to rid them?

I'm refering to English as British english since they are the ones who pretty much spread it through the world.

Neither.  There are a number of different American dialects and a number of different British dialects.  Moreover, in some ways, (standard) American English is more "conservative" (has changed less from older forms of the language) than (standard--RP) British English.  Also, it wasn't the *British* who spread the language throughout the world; it was the *English*.  The Welsh and Scots (and Irish if you mean "British Isles" rather than "Great Britain") only started speaking English (rather than their original Celtic languages) under rule by England.


My brother and his wife just had a daughter (Less than two hours ago, actually) and they named her Lindsay. I have this thing about giving all my nieces and nephews songs. Like, I pick a song that I label as theirs and I sing it to them every once in awhile. It's stupid, but they seem to enjoy it. \n\nNormally, I try to find a song that incorporates their name somehow, but I'm having trouble finding one for my newest niece. Do you know of any song lyrics that have to do with the name Lindsay? And please, no Lindsay Lohan songs! That child won't be hearing any of that horrendous music from me! ;-)

There's a song by Ten Shekel Shirt called House of Memories (Lindsay's Song). It's really cute. Here are the lyrics =]\n\n\nYou're my hero little girl\nYou always save the day with your smile\nYou know I'm in love\nWith the one behind those pretty eyes\n\nchorus\nI will build for all time\nA house of memories just for you and I\nThere you'll find rooms inside\nFilled with laughter, joy \nAnd your daddy's pride\nAround the table and down the hall\nWe'll chase each other\nTill the laughter makes us fall\nIn the evening we'll lay our heads down\nAnd thank God for these memories\n\nYou're my angel\nSending messages of love\nYou're my future\nA part of me that carries on


How can I fix this problem.  I have been working on this all day long and it is really starting to bother my eyes.

first it depends on what year your excel is ... there are more options in the more recent ones ... however this isnt a normal case ... i would go to control panel then add/remove programs then i would change the program ... which basically reinstalls it back to default ... thats what i would do ... if that doesnt work ... reinstall it with the disk (i hope you have) but dont delete it just repair it \n\nskyler


I am wondering because she has been off for a while now!

i am preparing for a architectural board exam, need you help when it comes to studying effectively.

try this and don't laugh. my grandma told me she read this and it helped her alot. i was doing it for a while but I kept forgeting to do it lol. all you do is tell yourself "my memory is getting better." just like that like 10-15 times a day. "my long term memory is getting better" "i am remembering things more." its really easy and for some reason it works. this can apply to other things too. Try it out. what harm can happen. enjoy. as for studying i can't help you with that one. I have ADD and it kills me to study because I just can't do it.


Recently my nephew died he was 14 months old. I have always believed in god but well  at the funeral I overheared the pastors wife explain why this Happened  she said it was just his time and it made me do very mad and so I said What kind of God would let my sister wait 20 years on a baby  only to have him and adore him more than life only to take him away 14 months later? I could never believe in a cruel God that would do that I believe we are all human and sometimes things happen to out bodies that hurt or even kill us  lil tony got into medication and ate it all and it killed him I dont know how else to believe because to believe God had it all planned is just  to me unbelievable and cruel http://tony-chow.last-memories.com/index.php  he was so loved and we are crushed why do you think god let this happen

I dont think it was his time either, I agree with you...God put us on Earth for a reason like accomplishing something He'd want us to do, unfortunately your nephew couldnt do it but FORTUNATELY he is in Heaven ( amuch better place than here) and God is taking care of him...\n\nGod Bless you and your family


My bf is starting to really be demanding in the way he is with me.Lately he's just been demanding everything that i do for him even if it's against my will. Is this ok?

Girlfriend, it only gets worse.  If he can't respect your wishes, it will only escalate.\n\nYou cannot "change" a guy. They may try to pretend that they are in agreement with you, but the more comfortable they get, the more stubborn they become.\n\nIt starts off as snide comments, then it gets to angry words.  So if you feel insulted or threatened, back out now.\nEach woman deserves to be treated with respect and as a partner, not a slave or a toy.

Thorin was definitely the hero of The Hobbit.\n\nHe had a quest he was on -- to regain the stolen treasure of the Lonely Mountain.\n\nBilbo was just on an adventure.\n\nOkay, I admit, Bilbo was the more interesting character, partly because The Hobbit was told from his point of view,  \nbut he was just a hired sneak-thief, an "expert burglar."


I am a 16 year old boy and for some reason I had pimples on my face and they started to clear up and then recently, I started to have pimple all over my body. They appear on my thigh, my rear end, my leg and my stomach. And whenever I pop them or if they pop themself, they leave behind a scar. I wish to know if its a disease or just something else and how to pervent it. Thanks for your time.

It's just puberty. It will get better with time. That said, you will never be totally pimple free but the severity will calm down as you get older so that you only get the odd spot. I wouldn't worry about it too much.\n\nIn terms of your existing pimples, do not pop them. Let them develop a head and burst under their own steam. If you develp white or blackheads, make sure your fingers are really clean (i.e. WASH YOUR HANDS!) and heat the affected area with a hot flannel before squeezing the head of the spot GENTLY to get the contents out. Then wash affected parts with antibacterial soap and use the same preparation in these areas as you use for the spots on your face. Then forget about them. In a couple of years, your skin will get a lot better. In the meantime, be kind to your skin otherwise you will be left with lots of scars...and if you are really worried, go to a salon that does facials and skin treatments and get proper advice on how to treat your skin until your teenage outbreaks calm down.


My wife some how got my email password from the computer. I want ot know how she done that?

She probably used a program such as SIW (System Info for Windows).  This program is small, readily available for download on the internet, and reveals hidden info on your hard drive.  There are actually many programs that do this, SIW is just one of the most common.

depending upon their geographical location as humans have accents.

It makes sense, I mean anything is possible. Dialects are passed on form one person to another in various cultures. I never though about it but why not with animals. It probably wouldn't be as obvious because there isn't the numbed of different words to observe but why not!


If someone get a degree from a community college with a GPA of 3.5, What grad can he expect to receive from Columbia University? I really need your ansure and help(Very strong in Math, but very weak in reading and writing).

Nobody can give you an estimation of your future performance in Columbia classes based upon a community college GPA.  However, most courses at Columbia are writing and reading intensive, with the exception of some science and math courses.  Most classes use several books that are difficult and engaging rather than just a standard textbook.  Long term papers and writing assignments are also the norm.  If you have already been accepted and you want to gauge the workload you can log into CourseWorks@Columbia with your UNI and view some of the old syllabi.  \n\nGood luck!

I DL'd some PodCasts, but how do I transfer them from iTunes to my iPod?  My iPod is hooked up and everything too

They should transfer automatically when you connect the ipod.  If you have subscribed to them, and they are sitting in your Podcasts area make sure the podcast is checked.  The checked podcasts should load to your ipod automatically.


In general there is pretty much free reign to the contingency fees contracts. The only exceptions that I can think of the top of my head are that in some states lawyers cannot work for contingent fees in family law and criminal cases. \n\nP.S.\nThere is no way in hell i am doing 50 state search on some legal issue unless i get paid. If you name ONE state that interests  you in particular i will see what i can do.

I have recently been going back to the gym. I do the usual 30 minute treadmill or eliptical machine, then i attempt to work out, weights and such, but the problem is I tend to under-do the workout. I need advice on how many reps and weight lbs to use etc. Any suggestions well appreciated.

If your gym has a personal trainer, that might be the best bet to start with.  As a general rule, 3 sets of each exercise with 8-15 reps is generally good.  Start with a lighter weight and do 15 reps the first set.  Then, get a heavier weight and try 10-12 reps and finally a heavier weight with about 8 reps.  As you progress, you can add sets (up to 5 per exercise).  Stick to a rep range of 6-15.  Hope this helps.  If you need more help, I'm a certified personal trainer and you can e-mail me with more questions.


hey people. i lost my virginity to my boyfriend on saturday. i havent heard anything from him since. he asked me to be his girlfriend that same day. hes a model so i know he get really busy. but do u think he dumped me?? help!

I agree with Lovebug.  Sorry honey.  If he wanted to call you or write you or see you, wild horses wouldn't keep him away.\n\nIt sucks that it was your first time, but don't listen to those unkind Christians telling you your virginity was a "precious flower you can never get back."  What a load of crap.  The first time you experience sex with someone who respects and adores you will be a "first" to remember- and the fact that you broke a bit of biological tissue last weekend won't take away from the magic when that happens.  \nBe mad, cry, talk to your best friend or mom or priest or shrink or mentor or whoever it is you go to.  Just remember to forgive yourself.  You were younger last weekend than you are now.  If you had known then what you know now, you would have acted differently.  Forgive yourself- because there's nothing to forgive but youth.  Being disappointed, being taken advantage of- this is a part of growing up.  Remember, all experiences have the potential to make you stronger or weaker.  Choose to become stronger from what you've learned.  \n\nAlso- don't talk too much to others at college or in your social circle, because as you've seen just on this forum, people can be cruel, and you don't want this story to follow you around once you've grown beyond it.

its cloning in general.. should cloning be legal?

You should use your own opinion. My personal opinion on the matter though is that cloning does not necessarily mean actually producing another one of yourself. Therapeutic cloning is the act of making a cloned embryo and extracting its stem cells before they even differentiate. The use of these stem cells in research is very valuable and has the potential to save millions of lives around the world (for reasons I opt not to get into).\n\nThus, I believe therapeutic cloning should be legal. The reproductive cloning of humans however, should remain illegal. Basically, the creation of formed embryos should be allowed, but it should be illegal to implant them so that can develop into human beings.\n\nThat's my personal point of view though. This is a highly controversial subject and you really need to research it and form an opinion of your own.


I just still can't believe they picked him!

Which one was Taylor Hicks? Was he the one with grey hair and played the harmonica? A bit older than most of the others? He didn't win, did he!? That's pretty piss poor if he did.


I have a friend (I'll call her "Sue") who recently told me about something that happened to her as a child... I don't know what to tell her, because it never happened to me, and no one else I know has ever said anything like it.\n\nI know most incest is either between father & daughter, or sister & brother; but this happened between Sue and her sister ("Mary").  Sue is the older sister (2 years).  I think she said this went on until she was 10, meaning Mary was 8.  Sue thinks her parents were too expressive about sex to her at a young age, and her mom had told her how she had been molested by her dad when she was young & raped when she was 16... Sue was told this when she was 4 or 5.\n\nAnyway, lately, Sue has been thinking a lot about what went on between her and Mary -mainly oral, no insertion, but it went on for years -they shared a bed. Sue wonders if it's something Mary remembers and resents her for.  Sue wonders if Mary blames Sue for it.  But Sue is afraid to bring it up.

I was sexually molested by my step father and he talked me into doing things with my sister so I know how she feels.  I had a hard time too but i now see a therapist from the state Child Advocacy Center.  she needs to do that because it has helped me a lot.  Good luck


I know that some people think I am fat and some people think I am well built. Where do you draw the line. Most people that I see on a regular basis consider me to be about average but I have been called fat. When I think fat, I think about some one that cant get into thier car or walk up the stairs without gasping for breath. I think like 5'1" 250lbs is fat but what do you think?

Being fat isn't about body WEIGHT...its more about the percentage of fat you have.  Back when I was fresh out of Marine Corps bootcamp I weighed in at 225 pounds and I'm 5'10" - not muscular, but tight.  I worked with a guy named Jeff who was also 5'10" and he weighed 225 pounds as well.  To see us standing side by side you would never guess we were the same weight because he had no muscle mass or definition, so he looked like a tub of crap compared to me. (Sorry if you are reading this Jeff).\n\nJust remember, 10 pounds of fat takes up the same volume of space as 20 pounds of muscle.\n\nSo if you can grab rolls of fat on your body then you are probably fat. If you can't, then you are probably well built.  Don't focus so much on the number your scale spits out.  Look in a mirror and be honest with yourself.


The Black Death led to cynicism toward religious officials who could not keep their promises of curing plague victims and banishing the disease. No one, the Church included, was able to cure or even explain the plague.

I am an experienced exporter based in Bangkok, Thailand and currently in dire need of some funds not exceeding US$200,000/- to finance my export orders. Due to lack of funds I am unable to finance the domestic purchase of merchandise to fulfill my export obligations.\n\nI will sincerely appreciate any advise as to how should I go about it. In fact I was looking for assistance from direct lenders who would be in a position to consider my request and see the possibility of extending any assistance. I am ready to discuss at any length.\n\nI thank you for your time and valuable answers.\n\nThank You.

You should be able to apply for a 90 day loan.  I forgot what they're called, but any business bank would be able to finance it..

Under what circumstances do we get weather fronts traveling counter clockwise or seem to coming from the South or East?

For the most part, yes. Low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere spin counterclockwise and Highs spin clockwise. The reverse is true in the Southern Hemisphere.

Dear Sirs/Madams, I have a strong desire to upgrade my educational status ( which is only first degree holder level to atleast 2nd degree level) but lack finacial support. Due to this, I remain stressed and unhappy all the time.\n\nCould any one in the Globe be voluntary to support me in this regard? The budget can only be upto 3000 US Dollars. I know the world has many potential persons and also need to assist those who actually lack. However, I could not know where their address is? \n\nThus, any one who reads this question is highly requested to contact me with such resource humans. I am now working in the information technology area and need to upgrade this status to a better level thereby enable to assist others through my work.\n\nThanks any body who devot their precious effort to help me. Let us grow together through communication.\n\nWith best regards


150 to 200 million infected world wide.close to 5 million in u.s. alone, 10,000 and up deaths in u.s. alone, number one cause of liver transplants.Why not more funding and education?

I agree completely with your sentiments. I'm a researcher working on HepC and we could use all the help we can get. I think there are two main answers to your question. 1) Prior to the summer of 2005 there was no way to grow HepC virus in tissue culture, so it was a difficult virus to study in the lab. The only animal model system was infection in chimpanzees. Thankfully there are now isolates that can be grown in the lab and research will progress much faster. 2) The clinical course of HepC infection is not as dramatic as some other diseases. It can be 20 years or more from the time you are infected to the time you develop symptoms. Additionally, since current therapy is only about 50% effective, expensive, and has uncomfortable side effects, there is not a whole lot of motivation to screen and treat those with assymptomatic infections. Here too we hope to see progress and there are drugs such as protease inibitors which are currently in clinical trials.

I need a Job in the Criminal Justice Field. I have a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice but I have no experience in this field I graduated from Saint Joseph's University in 2003.I desperately need a job because I owe so much money in Student Loans. Please I need someone to give me a chance or excellent advice. I also need someone to tell me the truth and not play games with me. I want this new job I'm seeking to be a job with SECURITY, Excellent health & dental benfits and everything else that comes with having a Excellent paying job. Would someone be so "KIND" to help me PLEASE? Also if at all possible can someone tell me how I can get this huge student loan (DEBT) forgiven? I am going to be paying back this loan for the rest of my LIFE! Thank you in advance for your cooperation and honesty!

A few good resources I would suggest are:\n\nYour local unemployment office.  Organizations that are affiliated with State Government are usually required to post their jobs in the state Unemployment system.  Also look at ajb.com because they are a good resource for state and federal jobs.\n\nIndeed.com is an aggregator of online job search engines including Google, CareerBuilder and Craig's List.  \n\nPhiladelphia would have a chapter of Jewish Vocational Services which provide many free services including Job Counseling and Networking Groups.  Their services are open to people of all religions.  \n\nGood Luck in your search,\n\nMichael

If anybody knows how to do this, a complete walk through would be helpful.\n\nAn irrigation channel made of concrete is to have a cross section in the form of an isosceles trapezoid, three of whose sides are 4 feet long. How should the trapezoid be shaped if it is to have the maximum possible area? (Consider the area as a function of x and solve.)

If you picture your trapezoid with the shorter parallel side and the two legs as sides 4, then the only unknown is the the long parallel side.  That side is at least 4, but with two extra parts on either side (if you drop perpendiculars from the short to the long side, you'd have a rectangle and two triangles).  So the long side is 4 + 2x, where x is the length of those two parts, which is also a leg of a triangle that we created in dropping those perpendiculars.\n\nThe height of the trapezoid is the same as the other leg of the triangle.  We don't know the length of either leg, but we do know that the hypotenuse is 4.  So through the Pythagorean theorem, we have\n\n4^2 = h^2 + x^2\nh^2 = 16 - x^2\nh = sqrt(16 - x^2)\n\nBack to the trapezoid - we know the area of a trapezoid is the average of the bases times the height, so we have\n\nA = (1/2)(4 + 4 + 2x)(sqrt(16 - x^2))\n= (4 + x)(sqrt(16 - x^2))\n= (4 + x)(16 - x^2)^(1/2)\n\nTo find the maximum area, take a derivative, set it to 0, and solve for x:\n\nA' = (4 + x)[(1/2)(16 - x^2)^(-1/2)](-2x) + [(16 - x^2)^(1/2)](1)\n= (-4x - x^2)(16 - x^2)^(-1/2) + (16 - x^2)^(1/2)\n\nIf we set this to 0, then\n0 = (-4x - x^2)(16 - x^2)^(-1/2) + (16 - x^2)^(1/2)\n-(-4x - x^2)(16 - x^2)^(-1/2) = (16 - x^2)^(1/2)\n4x + x^2 = 16 - x^2\n0 = 2x^2 + 4x - 16\n0 = x^2 + 2x - 8\n0 = (x + 4)(x - 2)\nx = -4 or 2\n\nSo your long side has to be 4 + 2(2) = 8 to maximize the area.

I agree that everyone needs a little help sometimes. I ran into the same problem a few years ago, but wanted to develop a better sense of color instead of relying on a book to tell me what works better. I purchased a complete set of PANTONE fans and chip books so that I knew the colors I chose could be converted to CMYK and give me better color accuracy when printing. Plus you will have more freedom as far as color choice, you will have a better knowledge of colors and how they work together and you won't need any design references to help you out like the smart-aleek from the first answer.

I've looked into front mount wire baskets on a bunch of different sites but none of the descriptions tell how much weight it will hold!!  Any suggestions for a front mount basket that will hold 20lbs?

You must be a bit bonkers! However, if you must carry Fido on your bike I definitely don't recommend using a basket - you're seriously raising the centre of gravity of the bike and making it unstable - a sudden movement by the dog could therefore have both of you under the wheels of a passing juggernaut.\n\nInstead why not use a trailer designed for toddlers. Its low, its safe and easy to pull along. You can zip the dog in and s/he'll be comfy and unafraid.\n\nTo give you an idea go here:


What are the differences between repeaters, hubs, bridges, switches, routers and gateways?

The OSI model was invented to describe data communication and networking, because there is alot to it!  The network devices in question operate at Layers 2, 3, and 4 of the OSI model.\n\nLayer 2: Data Link Layer\nPuropse: Physically Connecting Machines \nLayer 2 Unit of Communication: Frame\n\nA repeater, hub, switch, and bridge are all layer 2 devices.\nA repeater takes in its frame, and just forwards it out the other side.  A hub is like a repeater with more than 2 ports so that you can create a basic network of more than 1 computer (without getting to the internet.)  A switch is esentially a "smart hub" because it learns to send frames only out the right port instead of just repeating it out all ports like a hub.\nA bridge is a more rare layer 2 device, that could in theory become obsolete someday, because ethernet is the standard, and network configs that use token ring or other obsolete technology are becoming more and more rare.\n\nAll of the above (Layer 2) devices allow for computers to talk to each other, but could not send information out to the internet, or to other networks wothout routers.  They are all restriced to the same network (192.168.0.x) and would not be able to find any other networks.  They also create what is known as a broadcast domain.\n\nLayer 3: Network Layer\nPurpose: Routing, and Connecting to Remote networks\nLayer 3 unit of communication: Packet\n\nRouters are layer 3 devices.\nRouters Can understand that (192.168.0.x) is on one interface, and (10.10.x.x) is on its other interface.  A router with only 1 ip address is useless.  It needs multiple interfaces, each with their own IP address, to be able to read a packet and decide what interface it needs to leave.  Your home routers have a private interface on one side, most likely 192.168.0.1, and a public interface with any other numbers not begining with 192.168., 10.etc, or 172.etc on the other side.  The public one connects to your ISP's area border router, which connects to another and another, and this is repeated all around the world to form the Internet.  If a router does not know where the destination is, it will forward the packet out its default gateway, and the next router will do the same, untill some router knows where to send it.  To see it in action try "tracert www.yahoo.com" from a Windows Command prompt.  Every stop on that list is a router.  \n\nLayer 3 devices, listed above, dont even know that layer 2 devices exist.  One router talks to the next, but they may be connected with any number of switches, frame relay devices or repeaters.  The router doesn't care, it just knows the packet goes this way. A packet is encapsuleted inside of a frame, then the layer 2 devices forward the frame to the next router so that it may pull out the packet, put it into a new frame, and send it in the next appropriate direction.\nAlso a router will ignore brodcasts on any given side of it, creating seperate broadcast domains.\n\nLayer 4: Transport Layer\nPurpose: Packet Flow Controll and Error Handling\nLayer 4 unit of communication: Segment\n\nGateways are able to translate IPX/SPX to TCP/IP, or to NetBIOS or some other protocol.  Gateways are not necessarily hardware.  They may be a computer program, or even a router that can translate.  They are also becoming rare like bridges, because Ethernet, and TCP/IP are becoming standard, and other methods of communication are being leveraged less and less as time goes on.\n\nFor more info, and full detail on all networking devices and protocols, and all 7 layers of the OSI model, see the chart on the link below.


heres a question for fun... If your driving a car at the speed of light, what happens when you turn on your headlights? (i already KNOW the answer, i just wanna see if anyone else gets it.)

As per Stepehen Hawkings "brief History of Time", you can't see the light if you are moving with the velocity of light. Because there is no apparant change between the object and the source.\n\nYou forgot another intersting thing... if u are travelling with  a velocity of light, your mass will be infinity and your age will not change! (unbeleivable !)\n\ni hope this answer deserves 10 extra credits! :-)


If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat to get them all off the Island??

He didn't make a radio out of a coconut, he has a portable one. However, those batteries sure lasted a very long time.    \nAt least on one show, he did build a bicycle generator to make power. Still it's a funny show.


UEFA's European Player Of The Year 2006 is Ronaldinho.


The British government would like it to happen, I don't think it's been approved yet, but if a 4 year old is found to be overweight the school will send a letter home to the parent/guardian to advise them that the child needs to lose weight. \n\n(I'm not sure if this is the right category).

I applaud all of you, a school is there to teach children not as another way of the nanny state interfering with the way we raise our children, I have a two (soon to be three) year old son and he will be starting reception school in september. I remember a few years ago the government wanted people to stop calling children winners and losers and instead use the term yet to achieve success in a bid to hep childrens self esteem. Has no one considered the effect of weighing classes of kids, possibly in front of other class pupils? and in any event what about the poor kids who have to take these letters home and the effect being told you're fat at such an early age may have on them, don't we have enough of a problem with eating disorders...


My nephew is 31 and has been missing for nearly 2 months now.  He was involved with drugs and lived in a bad area.   His family lives in Ohio and we don't have any idea of how we should start searching for him.  I know he stayed at the Salvation Army Shelter at one time, but they could not help.  Any ideas of places that we should contact? - Thank you!

I don't know I visited that place along time ago, its pretty place!


I am weary of hearing "I need to touch base" with so and so.

Unfortunately, my experience is doubly irritating.  There is someone I know who not only abuses this expression but also adds an 's' to the end.  She says "touch bases".  It makes my ears bleed.


I hope they do, but they need a center and a decent small forward or power forward.

It's been 20 years since Bird, McHale and Parish won for the Celtics last and few good times in between.\n\nDanny Ainge seems to be forming a nucleus with a view to contending in the next 3-5 years.  If they can't do it within that time frame, time will run out for Pierce and rebuilding will start again.\n\nWhat they need is a 2nd and perhaps 3rd genuine all-star performer, preferably a big man, who can perform at both ends.\n\nThink about NJ.  They have 3 star types but can't get past the 2nd round.  Look at Pistons and Heat - superstars in both lineups.  We need to get past these teams to win it all.  You don't win in the NBA with 1 superstar.\n\nI'm dirty on us giving up on Billups all those years ago.  Would be great to see Pierce and Billups tearing it up together.\n\nA rebounder is critical to get firstly into the playoffs and be more competitive.  We desperately hope that Gomes or Jefferson can be a player that can take their game to a much higher level.  Are they the next stars, we'll see.\n\nWith the no 7 pick, Danny please choose wisely.\n\nGo Celts.


I'm 14 and still havn't had any "wet dreams" or any ejuculations yet. Is this normal for my age? Also, when we are showering in school, all the boys seem to have bigger penises then me.

well everyone matures at a different age, and for most guys it's around like 12-15, so i'd say that you're probably in teh beginning stages of puberty. wet dreams dont come until you begin puberty and stuff. Ejaculation is when you are sexually aroused and your penis releases semen; guys dont just ejaculate all day long (that'd be grosss)

I went onto the FOX network website and saw that the fall lineup of its shows does NOT have 24 on it?  The time slot that it used to be in is now replaced with a new show called: Vanished???

24 never starts in the Fall... it's Monday Night time slot would compete with Monday Night Football for the 18-49 male demographic that creates the core viewership of both programs.\n\n24 typically starts right after the end of the NFL playoffs in January, which is in the Winter. That's why 24 is not on the Fall slate.\n\nSeries 6 is expected to be the last year of the program


Last time I checked, we're in America. I'm not being racist or selfish or anything, but why are we celebrating a Mexican holiday here in America? I need good reasons here, not something like "Mexicans live here"\n\nOh, and I couldn't find a section for school, so it's in holidays.

because there will be no janitors to clean up, since they will be taking off....

been working out at the gym for about a year now. However been having trouble trying to lose body fat around my abdominals and waist. Just wondering if anyone has a diet to rip up(define muscle) rather than put muscle mass on.  Thanks

Alright, here's my competition nutrition plan. Warning: THIS PLAN IS STRICT, BUT YOU GOTTA STICK WITH IT!!\n\nMorning(7 a.m.)\n     -6 egg whites\n     -protien shake with banana\n     \nLunch(1-3 p.m.)\n     -1 can of tuna with \n     -wheat bread or wheat crackers\n     -Water/green tea(boosts metabolic rate)\n\nPre-workout\n     -2 teaspoons of honey\nPost-workout(immediately afterwards)\n     -creatine (optional) 5g\n     -45min later protein shake with banana\n\nDinner(before 7 p.m.)\n     -baked fish/baked chicken (NOT FRIED!!!)\n     -water/green tea


well...me and my boyfriend have been goin out for 4 days and some of his friends have been spreading rumors about us and we really like each other what should we do...he said he LOVES me and i LOVE him!!!i dont wanna break up with him and he dont wanna break up with me...what should we do?

First off, after four days you don't *really* love each other (not mature, real love, anyway) but whatever.\n\nAre the rumors true?  It's easy to dismiss rumors if there isn't a grain of truth to them.  His friends are probably resentful of the fact that he's spending time with you and not them.  They will get over it.\n\nTry to rise above it.


Looking for some good tips or training that help with expanding my lung capacity and endurance.\nthanks

Simply, breathe more. The more and longer you expand and contract your lungs...the more they will "work out". For lung capacity...try holding your breath underwater. Ive been doing it for about 5 years and Im up to about 45 seconds.

I allmost read the origin of every things but cuold not get the origin of the gun and who started it.

Weapons were invented before we have records. Simple weapons such as spears, rock axes and bows and arrows were used in hunting from the Stone Age. Stone tools were made from a variety of different kinds of stone. For example, flint and chert were shaped for use as cutting tools and weapons, while basalt and sandstone were used for ground stone tools, such as quern-stones. Wood, bone, shell, antler and other materials were widely used, too. During the most recent part of the period, sediments like clay were used to make pottery. A series of metal technology innovations characterize the later Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. Homo Erectus is known to have developed hand axes a million years ago. Arrows date back to 20,000 BC.\n\nThe first firearm was the arquebus which was introduced in the 15th century. The arquebus came into greater prominence during the Battle of Pavia in 1525. The defeat of French knights by the heavy fire of Spanish arquebusiers inspired other people to adopt the weapon. Arquebusiers also played an important role in Cristóvão da Gama's battles against the superior numbers of his Muslim opponents in Ethiopia during the 1540s, and later in the Moroccan victory over the Songhai Empire at the Battle of Tondibi in 1590.\n\nBy the later 16th century, muskets began to slowly replace the arquebus across Europe. Firearms have steadily been improving since.


need to know which foods to eat b4 and wat drink to avoid?

First off Id make sure you are prepared for the repercussions of it. A drinking contest....hmmm Im wondering if you know of another way to have a good time. Say perhaps, chilling with a few drinks, being somewhat sober enough to snag the ladies, letting your pals do the heaving drinking contest. Let them be the ones who pass out and miss all the fun. \n\nLets say you do this.....uhh ok. Now what? So you won....ok won what? A drinking contest? laughs. Pahleeeze. You want to win something then make sure you can walk and talk so as to get the ladies and chill and be able to walk around and know what it going on. Trust me, us girls loathe a drunken idiot. \n\nIf you decide you just cant tear yourself away from the drinking contest the eat alot of veggies and meats beforehand. Then take some chasers. They are pills you can get at any local health food store. They will help to absorb the alcohol.


Hi guys, i have all Fs in my classes, but my tests are A's And B's. I just cant seem to get my work done. There is just too much going on right now, and my teachers don't seem to understand. I try to do my work, but everytime, something comes up and I just cant seem to find the time to complete it.\n\nCan someone give me some pointers?\n\nThanks in advance

Well after reading your interpretation of what’s going on in your life I can see why you don't get anything done.\nIt's all about attitude and the way you interpret your life. \n\n"There is just too much going on right now"\n\nThis sentence is negative in its very nature.  You have created this world you live in inside your head that there is just too much going on right now! So before you can even take a moment to think about what is important to you or what you have time to do, you have already determined that there is no time to do anything.\n\n"My teachers don't seem to understand." \n\nAgain that's your own story you made up in your head about what you think your teachers are thinking about you and your problems.  Don't worry about how they interpret your excuses, they don't get paid to listen to excuses and make exceptions for people who don’t do what expected of them.\nNo offence, but if you work was done that would not even be in the equation. So lets focus on the problem (not doing your home work) - not the reaction you get from your teachers when your problem happens.\n\n"I try to do my work, but every time something comes up" \n\nUsing words like "every time" is only painting a more negative picture about the scenario, I'm sure that "every time" you have ever tried to do your home work something has come up - is not true. So that again is something you made up and are drowning yourself in your own obstacles and justifying why you’re not getting your work done.\n\n"I just can’t seem to find the time to complete it."\n\nOk, this is a classic excuse. Solution: Write down every thing you do find the time to do, and ask your self if these tasks are more important than completing your home work. I think you’ll find you have alot more time than you thought.  But then again maybe homework is just not important to you. But I will bet the rewards associated with the completion your homework will out weigh the temporary feeling of complacency and laziness.\n\nThe bottom line is...\n\nDon't be so dramatic, ask your self what's important to you and prioritize your time.  And if homework is not important enough to make time for... then I will have a 1/4 ponder with cheese please and an extra large coke!!!\n\n: )

I recieved an anonymous photo at work and I need to know who sent it to me.  will the letters and numbers lead me anywhere????

They can either tell you the place it was developed or the brand of film used to take the picture.


I'm trying to figure out what my problem is. Ragweed usually gets me in the Fall. But, pollen counts are crazy high right now.

Everyone I know has been having that problem too.  I live in Ohio and it seems the pollens are extremely high this year.  That and it has been raining here for the last 3 days, and that hasn't helped either.  All we can do is hope it gets better or keep sinus med companies in business!


My dad and brother aren't sure, and while I don't believe that the out counts at all, I'm not positive.\n\nSo to recap, a batter strikes out and the catcher drops the ball, the batter steals first and is safe.  Does the out count and the batter just stays on the base while considered an out, or does the out not apply at all?

the pitcher is credited with a strikeout, however the team batting is not charged with an out.  thus, a pitcher can have more than 3 strikeouts in a single inning!


i have never been in there so i am just kinda wondering.

A magical palace complete with water fountains and...


FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN DURING MY MANY TRAVELS TO AUSTRALIA,SINGAPPORE,JAPAN.TAH... KOREA,PHILIPENS,HONGKONG,RUSSI... & GREESE, is that most humans believe what they see on the T.V. AND THAT SUCKS FOR OUR RACES because all u see about us is nagativity and entertianment. ALL BLACKS DANCE GOOD, SMOKE POT , CARRY GUNS. \n\n*****heres a test that must be done before u read on... try to imagine what ethiopia looks like (why eth? because its consideded one of the porrest countries in the world.\nREMEMBER THAT TALE OF ETHIOPAINS CHASING CHICKINS ARROUND W/ A KNIFE LOOK AT THIS. http://www.phillipmartin.info/webpage/tr...\n\n4 example when i went to addis abeba ETHIOPIA, I HAD EXPECTED TO SEE famine, poveryt rum rampate. I was sorley mistaken. its like Mexico. some what well off. as far as the world is conserned.

This world is in a sad state because of our technology level ,esecially in the USA, we are to lazy to get off our asses and meet the real people. it is so much easier to watch tv and stereotype than to make an actual effort to see what the world and its people are about.


Do you all have any good ideas for posters or campaign techniques that i should use for running for president?

When my daughter ran for President in her club, she went with a "Be a Winner, vote for (name)" theme. We went to the $1 store and bought a bag of cheap medals on red, white and blue ribbons. You know the kind that is bestowed upon winners at say the Olympics. Then hot glued a round paper to the medal. One side said "Be a Winner" and on the other side "Vote for (name)".  She did win.  \n\nThat same theme could be used on your posters. Also, you can start as well as end your speech with that phrase. An attention getter at the beginning and end is always good.\n\nGood luck to you!


Do I need to go play for them or what???

Haha, that was me about an hour ago (only I used language not as nice as yours). LoL. I think that the quality of play in this series has been badly tampered because of the whistles being blown during the games. Neither team has been able to play to their full potential, and I would've liked to see STRAIGHT UP BALL instead of a free throw bonanza. The Spurs have played as well as they could under the circumstances (give or take a turnover/missed shot here or there) and I am a firm believer that they could come back just like the Suns did the last round.  One thing is for sure: Dallas is LUCKY. This series could easily be 3-1 Spurs, and if they think Game 5 is going to be a cake walk, they are sorely mistaken! Spurs are the defending champs, and they CERTAINLY won't go down without a fight..! How great that fight actually is...? We'll just have to see Wednesday! =)


OK found this site by randomly googling words in a state of near catatonic boredom- anyone seen it before? Either someone has a lot of balls, or a lot of spare time!\n\nhttp://hitman.us/main.html

....Hmmm...Interesting.  What did you google?...How to kill the President?   \n\nThanks for showing me that, because now I can move foward with my plan!!  BWHAAAAAAA!  ;)

To whom and what should i ask to know the following information:\n\nI want to know that the university's computer engineering department graduate students were placed (got job) in which all companies.\n So what terminology should i use to ask a question to get the above mentioned details. and also to which department do i have to ask?\n Thank you for answering and i will vote for the best answer.

I'd say probably the careers office.\nAsk whether they can tell you what graduates were doing perhaps 6 or 12 months after graduation. They may also be able to give you a breakdown of companies.


Do you believe in the Big Bang? \nAnswer why you do or dont, and give reasons why..\n\nwhat about the Big Crunch?(optional)

Do you believe … ?\n\nBelief in One Theory\n\nAs soon as these words are uttered, a great and unfortunate polarization tends to occur.  So many take the position that “my idea is all correct and your idea is all wrong.”  These ideas can be labeled as theories, doctrines, or whatever; they challenge us to examine our ideas and the views of others.  If we are insecure, we prefer to dismiss the viewpoints of others rather than examine our own.  However, if we are emotionally mature, we tend to be willing to review our own position and seek the merit in the perspective of others.  Such emotional maturity was once defined as “I am what I am, nothing better, nothing worse, and I find it good.”  This non-competitive stance is essential for open-minded pursuit of truth and knowledge.\n\nAny one who knows about blueprints, mechanical drafting, or architecture understands that it takes at least 3 different viewpoints to be able to accurately understand and recreate anything.  The most commonly used are the top, side, and front views.  For example, a table from the top view is a long and wide rectangle.  From the front view it is narrow and long.   From the side view it is narrow and short.  It is fruitless to argue that any one of these perspectives is false.\n\nIn layman’s terms, we might say that the sky is blue.  Someone else that it is orange.  In comprehensive reality, we can admit that it is sometimes blue and sometimes orange; indeed, sometimes it can be both at the same time.\n\nScientists may argue that light consists of waves, not particles.  Other scientists might insist that light is made of particles, not waves.  However, many modern scientists are beginning to embrace the necessity of models that include both these concepts.  Moreover, the characteristics of something do not have to be restricted to only 2 or 3 substantiated theories or viewpoints; a deep understanding of things may involve a panoramic examination of multiple views, like a spinning and swerving car in a television commercial.\n\nWith that foundation, we have been asked by the author and responders to consider which view: the Big Bang Theory, the Big Crunch, or God created our universe.  To this, I am inclined to answer “perhaps all of the above.”  Let me point out the relative merits of each position briefly and how they could possibly harmonize.\n\nThe Big Bang\n\nThe Big Bang Theory remains the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe.  The red shift of light from distant nebulas proves that everything is moving away from a starting point, an expanding universe.  The fact that there is a relationship between these celestial objects speed and their distance reinforces their common origin.  If true, there should be cosmic background radiation, and there is.  Physics tends to support the details of the theory including the cooling that may have lead to the sequential creation of matter and antimatter particles, including quarks, protons, neutrons, electrons, neutrinos and photons.  Similarly, the relative properties of the basic elements tend to support their sequential development, including deuterium (heavy hydrogen), tritium and helium.  The ratio of one helium atom for every ten or eleven atoms of hydrogen is a constant in the universe today.\n\nUnresolved problems with this theory are the age of the universe and the basis on a “singularity” (an event which defies current rules of physics).   Also, while the Big Bang Theory defines an event of creation, it does not define what caused it to happen.\n\nThe Big Crunch\n\nIf the total gravitational force of all matter is high enough, it would slow the expansion of the universe, and then reverse it, causing the Big Crunch of everything, the opposite of the big expansion called the Big Bang. All matter and energy would be compressed back into a gravitational singularity.  This theory does not explain what would happen after this event, which may occur in about 42 billion


i have long, protruding labia.  It makes me very self conscious.  I'm not yet sexually active and was wondering what the guys and women alike think about having long labia and how guys react? Thanks

Long labia will kinda swell up or shrink up a little bit when you are turned on ...blood flow will increase to your vagina and make things down there poofier ..so they may feel long ...but they become different when it matters. Also, labia are like breast...different shapes and sizes...the beauty of long labia is that you don't have to buy anything to hold them up :) also, the only person who will know about them are you and your sexual partner of choice...and that person will llove them because they are yours.


the mbbs students & doctors  gone for the strike   against the reserve   category people, why so sever steps to be taken by them or is there is any politics behind it. why there should be any reserve category section , ithink we must go with the time and not with the mind of politics. now the period of today is known for modern so with it  there should not be any reserve category for backward class.every body has the right to show their talents & copup &make the way to their success. as per my opinion if there is no distingust beetween man & women , then why there is the class ddifference , now every body has a right to study& make there carrers. this class division for may  snatch the good & intelligent pupil opportunity& that is the reason for the destruction held allover india from each state. " hardship is the worship" .

I cant say as this is dirty polictics with dirty minded politicians.


I get turn on just anytime, and sometimes I get org...sm just without any warning. Then I have to bite my lips to not let anyone know what just happened. Is it normal ? Anyone else with that problem ?

i  don't know if it's normal but I wish it was meeeeeeeeeee


i was late for my period and durring the time that i should have got it i had a little pink when i went to thee bathroom and when i wiped but nothing that i had to where anything for and since that i had a couple spots of blood notjhing like when i get my period not even close. I hate to be so graphic but i am scared i may be pregnant i hace had a test give a faint positived answer but i want to knows for sure

It could be a sign of implantation bleeding.  As a pregnancy blood test is the most accurate way of testing, please see your doctor to get one done.


this one has been stumping me with the roots (no pun intended you tree people)


some Christians are afraid to walk among the dark, why?

This is an excellent quote and an excellent point.\n\nChristians are way too afraid of the dark.  In fact, the Bible in one epistle preaches against having such rules as "Don't taste; don't touch".  \n\nHowever, we are human, and even humans with the brightest light can be tempted into the darkness.  That's what forgiveness, learning, and wisdom are for.


Sally was driving home  in Northern Arizona  she saw an elderly Navajo woman  walking on the side of the road. she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.  With a silent nod  the woman got into the car.\n\nOn the  journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk . The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything  she saw,  until she noticed a white bag on  the seat next to Sally.\n "What in bag? " asked the old woman.\n\n"It's a box of chocolates. I got it  for my husband".\n Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder,the navajo woman\n said: "Good  trade."

Haha I like it. But whys it in health? :)

Yes the question is.......which church Methodist, Catholic, Southern Babtist, Babtist,Luthern, LDS, Seventh Day Advintists...... Have it right........ After all each is similar in the Christian Core Principals but then the Deviation in Doctrinal Application of the Books in the bible can become pretty extreme......? One church you have to confess in a box to a priest through a screen... seems that puts man between God and His Child...... something I belive CHRIST came her to remove.. another....... states that you can't eat certain things on certain days or you are a siner and have to fast......food restrictions are under statutes i belive or is it ordinances in Leviticus..? not Laws Surely there must be a mistake.... So how does one tell?............who teaches the truth as best as Church was intended interpreting GODS perfect mission or are they doing some form of crowd control...... Do we turn to the seven chuches described in Revelation... only to made the grade as Judged By Christ.

Yup,...simple as the seven candlesticks/churches; YHVH  God is only pleased with two, Smyrna and Philadelphia for what they teach and the fact that they haven't left their FIRST LOVE, The Word through Jesus Christ.  TOO many listen to those hirelings are are starved for Gods truths...The famine in these end days....is for HEARING the Word of God.  TOO many are also accepting the little moon god and ignorantly think that all gods are the same.  YHVH God The Father is The ONE TRUE God that sent His Son Yahshua Messiah, Jesus Christ.  As for all the denominations,...Jesus said He didn't come  to bring peace but division.  Denomination means division just like the five of the seven churches in Revelation were divided by doctrines of men and traditions of men...making Gods word void in their own ears...Some need to WAKE UP before God snuffs out their candle.


I've been really gassy. But reeeeaaaally gassy. The smoke/CO alarm system has been going off for about 10 seconds at a time at random times and we have no idea why it is. We don't know if its the CO or the smoke alarm because they are all interconnected. I know there is no smoke. So I was wondering if my excessive farting could be making the alarm goes off... I am actually curious about this, it is not a joke although it might be funny. Thanks!

My farts once blew up an off shore oil rig. That wasnt funny i can tell you.


Can an individual or company take your property without having legal claim and are not part of the the corporation entity which owns the property?

We need more information.  Where are you?  What's the situation?  Who wants to take the property?  Why do they want to take it? etc.


my mum has bi-polar disorder and it gets really hard. it has been slowly getting worse since my dad died and its just my brother and i. i just want to know if there is anything out there that can give us some support because when she gets depressed it can get to the stage where we dont know where to turn.

being a bipolar myself... id like you to know that there are really dramatic ups and downs, your mom should look into changing her meds if she has been on them for a while, and they haven't taken their toll, talk to the doc...but it takes a VERY long time to find the right medication, and what sucks is that it takes at least a month to know if the drugs are actually working.  as long as she has or can find a good psych who will treat her for her specific symptoms, and not be like other psychs who prescribe you the same meds as every other john doe who walks into their office she should be fine.  those meds will have some serious side effects... make sure you tell your mother if she feels suicidal that she needs to call you ASAP... and make sure you tell her doc... those manias can really grab ya in the boo boo and ah make ya feel like shit.  there are always group meetings you can go to... check with your local hospital or just ask your mom's doctor....

I have quick my bad habbits and have done nothing but try to make her happy. She is kind of touchy. She always gets upset about my past relationships. I have told her that I cant change the past but she still brings it up. She is the religous type if that tells you anything about her.

You need to find someone that is going to love you for you no matter what. She's obviously looking for that perfect someone that just fell out of the sky without a past. Good luck to her and let he go. Maybe shell realize that you are a great person no matter your past!!


If a person is going to be graduating from graduate school,  should they get a class ring?  What if they were graduating from an online degree?  Does it matter what kind of degree it is?

I wouldn't get a class ring from any school. Kids in high school pay lots of money for class rings and after they graduate will not wear it because it looks "silly." The same is true of college rings. What a waste. Selling class rings is a big racket, a successful one at that.\n\nFor the fun of it ask several adults if they ever got a class ring. Then ask them if they still wear it. If you are shy, ask members of your family. I mean does you father or mother still wear a class ring? I'll bet neither does!!


I haven't read it but many of my friends were shocked when they read it. What are the contents anyway? Predictions of future? They said that all of Da Vinci's predictions really happened and the others will still happen... I'm a faithful Christian but if in case that Da Vinci's code was proven to be real, I have no choice but to forget my religion. Da Vinci said that there is no such thing as "God".

Before you believe on the claims of the Da Vinci Code, allow me to refer you to these references that will prove that all claims of the book are just rubbish.  \n\nhttp://www.catholic.com/library/cracking_da_vinci_code.asp\nwww.priory-of-sion.com\nwww.jesusdecoded.com


It is like concentric spheres expanding at the speed of 300,000 km persecond? Is it similar to expanding concentric circles of waves in water?

There are two answers to this question:  one, how the waves themselves propogate and two, how the wavefront moves.  \n\nTo answer the first there are two things to remember:\n1.) a changing magnetic field creates an electric field\n2.)likewise, a changing electric field creates a magnetic field\n\nWith those two things in mind, here is how an EM wave (of which light is just one type) propogates.  A changing electric field induces a magnetic field, which induces an electric field and so on as the wave moves.  In other words one creates the other to move the disturbance along and the fields "bootstrap" themselves forward.\n\nAs to the second part, the way the wavefront moves depends on the geometry of what you're looking at.  If you imagine a source out in space, then yes you could consider the wavefront as being a sphere whose radius increases at the speed of light (for a repeated signal, then you'd have concentric spheres, one wave for each time the object sends out a pulse).  However if you restrict the wave to move in something (e.g. a waveguide, or channel)  the wave fronts would look different.\n\n\nI hope that helps

Usually I just end up bobbing my head a little. Sometimes I do this hip shaking thing, but I don't know what to do with my arms then. I'm a girl, and I'm just stumped. I don't want to look dumb. Help me in my ridiculously awkward position. The more details you can provide the better.

Find the beat in the song and let your hips move to it. Your arms should just kind of flow along with your movements.


Determine the required probability by using the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution.\nThe rate of defects among CD players of a certain brand is 1.8%. Use the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to find the probability that among 190 such CD players received by a store, there are exactly three defectives.

Use the poisson distribution with lambda = np (not the answer below though, so calculate it yourself)


So summer is coming up and I'm leaving this state of college in August. I don't want to be alone all summer but i don't want a boyfriend cause i don't want the prob of breaking up before school. So there is this total bad boy i dated in the beginning of the year and he broke my heart earlier in the year (tear tear). Anywayz he was alot of fun and a pain in the butt. I swore to myself after I dated him it would be the last time I would ever be with him...\n\nthing is we have become good friends now after alot of fighting and my feelings havn't left after like 4 months pf being done with him and dating another boy. We flirt and flirt when were together and clearly want each other\n\nIt's liek my heart is dying to be back with him (atleast till I leave) while my head is like screaming at me that I made this promis to myself i would stay away, cause no lie he's a bad player boy...\n\nDo I follow my heart or my head?

personnally i think it is better to have sumbuddy that is perverted rather than prude! but that probably isnt the best thing to do, trust yourself!


One day i was parking my car at wally world (wallmart)next to me was a lady some where in her 30's talking to someone in the back seat..i couldn't see anyone so i thought there was a child back there..when i got out i glanced at her back seat and saw no one there..wierd thing is she was turned around like she was facing the person in the back and i heard her say why don't u eat what i make?..I'm not going in walmart and buying us food when u just throw it away..this happend 3 days ago

I saw somebody doing the same thing.  They were talking to somebody in the back seat but I couldn't see anybody in the back seat.  I got in my car and watched (I was parked right next to the person).  A child popped up in the backseat.  They must have been picking up something off of the floor before they got buckled in!  :-)  It was strange seeing that though.\n\nANOTHER ONE - I was shopping at the store the other day and there was this lady walking around shopping also.  She was looking at things on the shelves and talking to herself.  I don't mean like "hmmm which one should I get" kind of talk, it was like she was having a conversation with somebody.  She wasn't wearing one of those headset cell phones either.  She would walk to another section of the same aisle and say "what do you think, do you like this one?"  WHAT?!!  There wasn't anybody with her.  The only two people in that entire aisle were me and her.  creepy!

I have just bought a new motherboard to replace the old one in my PC. Unfortunately, there are several things on it that I don't understand.  \n\nThere is an empty slot for a SIS 650/651. May I know what is it and do I need to insert the component on the slot to make the motherboard work?\n\nThere is also another empty slot for a SIS 962L. May I also know what is it and do I also need to get the component to insert into the motherboard?\n\nLast but not least, I have a 3 pin slot called PWR_LED 1. In my old motherboard, a component is inserted over this slot. Do I need to do the same for this new motherboard by inserting a similar component over its own PWR_LED 1 slot? It is now empty.\n\nThanks.

SIS 650/651 & SIS 962L are not slots, they are chips on the motherboard that control various components on or attached to the board. Mainly Graphics cards, USB ports, IDE connections etc.\nThe 3 pin connector labelled PWR_LED1 is where you connect the power light on the front of your case, usually 1xGreen & 1xWhite wire going into a black connector block. It isn't an essential part, but if you do not have it connected, the power light on the outside of your case, will not come on when the pc is working.\nTek

Need some personal testimonials for green tea drinkers. Health related and dietary are always nice and unique stories would be good. Thank you all

Did you know that White Tea is the new Green Tea? Yes! White Tea has even more anti-oxidants than Green Tea. I now drink both. But you wanted some green tea stories so here it is: A few years ago I started to drink a lot of green tea because I heard its health benefits. I noticed last year that if I drink alcohol then it just goes through me. I mean I get drunk, sober up and go through the hangover (and even throw up) in the space of just 2-3 hours, something that would take any normal person at least 10 hours if not more...When I presented this problem to a very knowledgable guy his first question to me was do I take lots of vitamin C? I said I didn't and questioned him on this, then he said that because Vitamin C have lots of antioxidants in it and that having antioxidants in your body can actually speed up the detoxifying processes including that of getting rid of alcohol, which is poison of course. I thought 'wow'! So green tea does help you with the everso popular detox thingy!

I would say no. And the reason is starting pitching. And that was supposed to be their STRONG point this year. Turned into their weakest link. Sheets may never be the same pitcher again. And that's if he can manage to get back on the mound. Davis is having a horrific year. Seems like they are trying to rotate 8 guys into what is supposed to be a 5 guy rotation. And Bush is simply an awful pitcher altogether.

Starting pitching is their weakpoint due to injuries, but Helling should be back within a few weeks to make one spot more secure.  \n\nDavis has had 2 horrible games, but mostly decent games.  He typically keeps the team in the game.\n\nSheets is a wildcard, and possibly could come back at full strength, but might be out for the year.\n\nOhka may come back later this year, but it might be too late.\n\nThe Brewers definitely have hitting, if they could get control of their starters, they could hit the wild card.  I belileve the Reds will cool off, the NL West stinks, I believe Houston will fade, which leaves it up to the Brewers, the Braves, and the Phillies.\n\nI say if Helling comes back fine and Sheets comes back at close to full strength (Capuano, Sheets, Davis, Helling, Bush), the Brewers make the wildcard.  If not, I say the Braves.


Davis died in 1889. Sound recordings from this time are very rare.

If he did, I venture to assume he did it before Edison invented sound recording technology.

i mean if someone had long, shaggy hair, a lipring, some eyeliner, and some girl pants EVERYONE considers them emo. and this really gets me, why does everyone think that "emo" people cut their wrists, cry and listen to depressing music? GRRRR

People who choose a media-label to define themselves do so to hide the fact that they are really shallow, insecure dumbasses with no personality whatsoever of their own.\n\nThat also goes for people who define themselves as goth, punk, "rebel", emo, alternative, etc. \nDefine yourself by your acts and ideas, not by choosing an ambiguous label to hide behind.


Hypothetically, if instead of three of the four planes hitting their targets, none had, (let's say they all had the same fate as United 93) would we have gone to war?

Hindsight is 20-20, but I'm not sure. We still would have lost American lives so it seems like we would still have gone. However because of how brutal and devastating the attacks were that they hit a target and how they have permanently scared DC and NYC, those things might have had a larger effect on the decision than the acts themselves... OK, I think we would have no matter what. I believe Bush wanted to go to war and unfortunately 9-11 gave him an opportunity to do so without a fight from government or the American people.


any websites where i can read about upcoming lost episodes before they come out?


a few weeks ago my neighbor came by to say hey, and ever since he keeps coming over to hang out. At first it was cool but now he's starting to bug...he keeps asking me for rides (I always say no) and hes starting to get a little too comforable in my apartment just grabbing the remote and using the phone. Now hes asking me to give him my friends numbers because he thinks they're cute. Whats the best way to tell this guy to buzz off? I don't want to be too harsh cuz he IS my neighbor and I have to see him all the time, but I don't want him coming over anymore. What would you say to him?

whatever you want to say just start with "im not trying to be mean but " or," dont take this the wrong way but" how can you insult someone when you have already apologized


I did today! And man did it hurt! Just realized my boyfriend thinks I am ugly. And if he could find someone else he would move on in a heartbeat.

yeah i did today too! (honestly and coincidentally!) i was dating this guy for a year and the only thing that made me stick with him is the fact that i believe that he is a trustworthy, honest and sincere person. Just today, after all the many i love yous and sweet nothings, i asked him, when's my bday? and he does not know! he knows how this thing is important to me as i've reminded him a lot of times but still he did not even have the effort to remember! most of my friends and family think i deserve someone better but i refused to listen...until now that i am fully appraised of my significane in his life. Then i realized...i shouldnt allow myself to be treated so low! So i'm just gonna give up on that guy...and i believe that there is a guy who would value and appreciate me more and treat me as i should be treated - as a person with value and worth! If he doesn't he's just not the guy for me. Good riddance. It's not my loss.

We had a recent leak in our childrens' room & the repair men had to cut a hole in the ceiling to expose the leak - then they sealed it with plastic & duct tape & left it that way until the next big rain - it has since been repaired completely & the ceiling patched, but my 3 yr old toddler will not sleep in her room anymore & now seems to have a fear of the ceiling in general.  HELP!

take you daughter into the room and tell the story of the ceiling, make it as dramatic as you want: this i how i would tell it:\nonce upon a time in a far away land, there lived the ceiling, the ceiling was a very good friend to all creatures, it nutured and cared for everything living under it, but one day the ceiling was very sick, it was very sad and needed some cheering up\nso the lovely guardian of the ceiling (you)  called the ceiing docter, and the ceiling docter came right away , he put a big bandage on top of it , then made the ciling feel much better. but, the ceiling is very sad because it cant take of a little girl, it would make the ceiling feel much better if that little girl would sleep under it.\n.....\ni hope it works good luck\nit doesnt have to be like that that was jsut an idea


I am a die-hard fan of Kutless, Mainstay, Barlow Girl, Jeremy Camp, and Stellar Kart. I also like Overflow and Broken Yoke. Does anyone with similar taste have any recommendations? I don't like anything much harder than Kutless. I also love songs with strong violin acoustics.

If you like Barlow Girl, you may like the almost rock-folk of Sara Groves.  I listen to more Christian hip-hop than rock, but I do also like the artists that you mentioned.  In rock, I also like Audio Adrenaline, Superchic[k], Out of Eden, Peace of Mind, Toby Mac, and Thousand Foot Krutch.  I also like the sound of Family Force Five, but to put a small disclaimer, I haven't checked their lyrics yet.  ( I know, they sell them in the Christian stores, but I still check lyrics.....)  If you like it a little punky sometimes, then there is also the O.C. Supertones and Reliant K.  Those are pretty mainstream punkers.  Good stuff.  \n\nThere are also a lot of Christian garage bands out there, who God is using to reach their cities, and you might be able to get a good cd from them.  If you don't know of a Christian Club that lets groups play, try calling a larger non-denomination church (they are usually into music like that) and see if the youth pastor knows of any. I'm so encouraged that you like to fill your mind with Christian music!

I've gotten many jobs this way....call HER first, tell her you are excited about the opportunity to work and just wanted to know if she has made a decision yet....I had one employer tell me (after I had called her like 5 times) that my enthusiasm and excitement for the job got it for me even when there were more qualified people for it.


I just need examples...And IN ANIMALS, not humans.\nTHANKS

Most of these disorders are common between humans and animals because homo sapiens IS an animal and we therefore share the same basic cellular structure with all other animals. One classic example is diabetes (which can occur in animals besides humans; you don't see it much because it is selected against in nature), caused by improper functioning of the mitochondria through the lack of insulin production. Cyanide causes death by asphyxiation through almost the same process; the mitochondria cannot metabolize, and death results.

there is this guy who is really sweet and has a great personality, but he is "ugly" well, not my type.\nhe keeps on asking me out and says he loves me, should i give it a chance or forget about it? i am physically attracted to him

People place too much importance on looks to begin with. I dont care who you are looks will fade in time and its the personality that will carry a relationship through. If you are attracted to him...and he has a great personality as you stated...what are you waiting for..go out with him. It sounds like you may be concerned about what others will think of you being seen with him. If your friends are that shallow, they are not much of a friend to begin with. Go for it girl and I hope you have a great time.

My husband and I like to drink and the pills say avoid drinking, but I have found no side effects at all when I drink with them. I also think its weird that it doesn't say DO NOT DRINK but Avoid drinking. I really do not want to not drink at all and the doctor says I should stay on these for at least a year if not forever. So I find it hard to believe I'm not suppossed to drink....HELP if you can

If the label says dont drink, dont drink especially if you are not sure of the side of effects. You may not notice the effects immediately, but that does not mean that there are no side effects.


I was working for an elderly man who for some reason changed the locks on a storage unit that i have many of my tools left inside .when trying to contact him for payment and tool retreival he just hangs up after telling me that he doesnt want to talk to me ,,to date I am out my tools that i need to work as well being out the wages for the days that i worked

Do you have anything in writing in regards to the work that you did for him?  Do you have proof that these are your tools?  I think that I would try calling the cops first and file a report.  The cops will talk to him and that might be enough for him to let you have your tools.  If that doesn't work, take him to court and provide whatever you have in writing to the judge.

Call the number on your insurance card and ask them.  Each plan is different even if it's by the same agency.\n\nAs far as I know, most don't pay for the patch though.


I am prety sure my daughter has been bitten by a spider.  She has a bite that looks like a mosquito bite, but more swollen with a dark center.  It is very sore.

Wash the area thoroughly, put on some neosporin and a bandaid. Take a benedryl (will help with itching, burning and mild allergic symptoms).\nWatch the area carefully for signs of changes such as lots of swelling, red rings, puss, smell, etc. \nThe bite will *probably* be gone by tomorrow, but if it does exhibit venom symptoms, see a doctor.


How do you deal with a flirty friend who is around your boyfriend with you a lot?

Tell her that it's bothering you that she's so flirty, otherwise, leave it alone.


She loves me, Says I am the best thing to ever happen in her life, But after living together for more then a year she has slipped into a depression and things are not going right for her, She is going to move out with her kids but wants to remain friends or something like that, there is no cheating going on with either of us. Even though we have our problems we work them out... We have fun with each other and are really comfortable with each other... so can someone tell me whats up and what this quote really means...

She loves you but not willing to give you 100% of her heart and soul..She obviously cares but is in doubt of a future with you..She seems to be questioning her own motives for being in a relationship with you..Maybe shes not totally satisfied with the relationship or feel solid enough in it..Seems to me she is willing to be friends but from a distance..Do not give her an alternative..thats instant death!Give her understanding and your friednship but your heart would be more appreciated elsewhere..Good luck!
