I have a 2-1/2 year old son and now I have to be picky about who I deal with and who I bring around my son. I know people say not to look but it's hard getting through birthdays (by the way, mine's is on April 7th) and all of those "lovey-dovey" holidays without a significant other. What I meant by, "All I attract is thugs." is, there isn't allot to choose from where I live. 80% of the guys have 2 or more kids by different women, have a criminal history that prevents them from getting a job or being out past 9 o'clock p.m., do not want a job, and have horrible drinking/smoking habits. I don't consider myself to be picky but I do have standards. I have an EXCELLENT job, a college degree, and have my head on straight to be a 21 year old. I NEED some HELP!!!

Baby Girl that is the story of my life. I don't have a kid, but I still feel your pain. I am 23 ( will be 24 may 7) I am it college(graduate in Dec. 06) and I work for a Mortgage Company(Post Closing Manager). The only men that approach me are TI and 50cent wannabees. I carry myself like a lady. I know I do, but it still happens. I remember feeling like you. Then one day I spoke my mother's best friend. She told me what my mother has been saying to me for years. Straight out the bible. The word says,"So as a man thinks so is he." meaning. If you think it, keep saying it, and believe it, it will come true. So I started saying to my self, "I attract good, intelligent, men with common sense." It sounds silly, but I said it until I BELIEVED IT. It took a while, but it started happening. It will get better. I PROMISE, You just have to have faith. It is hard I know. I've spent every birthday and holiday alone. I am the baby of 9 Kids and all my siblings are either married or with someone they've been dating for Years. I'm always the single one and IT HURTS. I haven't met my Prince yet, but I know he's out there. In the mean time I'm going to enjoy these executives and professionals I've been dating. If you ever want to talk or chat with someone that you can relate to email me sista_w_class@yahoo.com.I'm here for you sister. Trust, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! FOR REAL!!


Should I date someone who smokes pot? How do I know if he's a heavy user?

If you are drug-free.....I would not even think of being with a drug user! Some where along the line this guy have made a poor decision and started messing with something he should not have!\n\nDo not let him encourage you to participate in his stupidity also! A drug user will come up with every excuse in the world to continue to use drugs! This is not a route that you want to start your life off taking!\n\nJust walk away and find you a good man that is drug-free!


I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, had 2heart attacks and lots of other things, but the thing that really concerns is something that is happening quite frequently every day.  No matter what I do my hands start tingling and go to sleep and turn a weird color.  I do a lot of bead work and painting and such and the thought of not being able to do this any more is distressing.  They hurt a lot also.  Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this.  Even typing this today my fingers don't want to move over the keys.

I sounds as though you're not getting the proper circulation to your hands.  There can be many causes of this and the type 2 diabetes will complicate it.  And having two heart attacks already certainly points in this direction.\n\nAssuming your getting checked regularly by your doctor to rule out any heart conditions and arterial blockages, a lot of circulation problems can be caused by several musculoskeletal conditions.  \n\nIf it's actually affecting both hands, then it's more severe.  If it started with one and and now affecting both, then it's getting progressively worse and you need to seek the help of a health care professional right away.\n\nA common condition is called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.  This is where the arteries that go out to your hands are being constricted by the clavicle, rib, or muscles.  A chiropractor will know how to find this and treat it.\n\nAlso a possibility is a "pinched" nerve in the neck.  Again, the chiropractor can help this.\n\nThird, your arteries and nerves might be becoming "worn out" (diabetic neuropathy) by the Type II diabetes depending on your age, how long you've had it, how much you exercise, if you smoke, what medications your taking, etc.  Exercises and the proper nutrition will help with the type II diabetes.  A good chiropractor could give you some suggestions for both exercise and nutrition that your MD may or may not know.\n\nOther options may be to check out a nutritionist or a yoga instructor.\n\nOf course, there are many more causes and some are more severe than others.  \n\nI hope this helps.


Okay the kids are sleeping and i am bored out of my mind. \nThey are veggitarians so there is no food they dont belive in the telivision so i cant watch tv and they dont have cards because the dont want the baby to choke on them! i am freekin bored help me come up with something to do please!

You have the internet!  What more do you need?


Arts, graphic design, web development applications for a computer engineer and a B.Sc. holder. Is it possible to get a Master's degree in arts while you have got a B.Sc. degree?

These sites might help you. It lists schools by State, then search that school's website.\n\nHere's the answer from the last website:\nHowever you ask about "WEB" design. Let's get something straight from the get-go. FIRST and foremost you must learn DESIGN. Period. \n__ Now, most of the time I don't know if people are actually talking about DESIGN or if they're merely talking about the mechanics of building web information delivery. While they are two entirely different things, the industry seems to have muddled their meanings, just to sell you stuff. If you take a sober look at the wildly successful "Designing Web Graphics" book, you'll see it has nothing to do with design. Nothing. If you look at 99% of all the other books that have "Web" and "Design" in the title you think you're going to learn how to design. But you won't. No single book fills the challenge, and most are talking about building tables and rollovers. So read my lips: to learn Web design, learn design first. \n__ All three alternatives you stated above will work for you, however "efficiency" is a very vague term when describing a discipline. Design does not come efficiently. It will come with \n\na) exposure to and study of the work of masters\nb) understanding how to analyze any given design problem\nc) understanding how to analyze who your message is intended for\nd) understanding how to apply simple design rules\ne) sensitizing vision to see and recognize when good design is achieved\nf) many, many, many, many, many design exercises, trials and errors.


I have a feeling that it could end up weird and people would want to start doing other things, like trying to marry their pets...what do you think?

Personally, I don't believe it will damage our society. Most of the ppl in the world are very religious and believe marriage should just be between a man and a woman. But we are human beings just like them, except we love a person of the same gender. Theirs nothing different between us except that. Everyone has their own beliefs on this issue. I just say you can't help who you fall in love with!!! Been with my gf for 2 yrs now!!! And we're still goin!!

If cooking poultry (chickens,ducks etc) like that can kill the virus, why are governments in countries affected by that disease need to cull millions of chickens and ducks world-wide? They can easily sell them off and advise consumers to cook them thoroughly well before eating them.Inspite of offering free chickens, yet consumers are still unwilling to take the risk to buy them. Is it because, they are afraid unscrupulous traders may sell sick chickens to ignorant   vendors whom in return sell them to consumers like us? If we happen to touch and clean up sick chickens with that virus, will we be infected by that virus? If so, then that could be the reason for the poor sale of chickens in countires affected.

Currently to catch bird flu you need to inhale or ingest some bird poo. A microscopic particle of poo containing the virus is all it needs. The reason for the massive cull is to try and prevent more birds from becoming infected, becasue the more birds it is in, the greater the chance of a mammal such as ourselves or pigs of being infected. To mutate into a deadly pandemic, an H5N1 virus has to infect a cell at the same time as a mammalian flu virus has infected the cell. \n\nSo by destroying the birds in massive culling programs, governments are limiting the possibility of this happening.\n\nIt is safe to eat infected meat as long as it is cooked properly (over 70 degrees for 20min)

????, it has been nice knowing you for quite awhile. Fate for me has done it again - what i mean is - i have once more fallen for a person who is just looking past my soul. I do care for you. Haven't you noticed? When - you ask? - ninety days since i met you. Why - you ask? More reasons than i can contemplate. I really just want to clear my conscience about what i have been feeling for sometime now. Do you know that my days have been brighter more than usual seeing you day? Do you know that i always wished that time would pass slowly... but who am i to hold or even stop time? it really hurts when someone you care about looks past the facade of a loving heart's face... instead that someone has been looking far beyond the mountains and clounds of your love and is looking at the sea of someone else's heart. Once again... i do care for you. No strings attached to this letter. i just wanted you to know.... XoXo, ???

I'm not gonna read it...but should you give it?Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.NO.OK OK,I'll read it...hold on.Ok I'm back...perhaps you should stick to writing poems or something,I'm really quite touched.No NSA you say?Who are you kidding?Please,your real prince will find you.This dude is taken.See what happens in another 90 days.What if his girl gets hold of it?Some guys are just like Bit(c)hes...like to see there partner get jealous...they love the attention.God you fall in love so fast...do you fall out of love that fast?Lets hope you do this time...this may spell trouble.........for some reason I think you're gonna do it anyways.Well,I hope it all works well for you.

How has pressure and density helped technology?

This is a lengthy question.\nIt may be an assignment for your weite up.\n\nThere are innumberable factors to affect technology.\n\nThe density and pressure have helped in developing chemistry towards production of new chemicals, mettelery in terms of alloying and joining through various techniques including bolts, aerodynamics in terms of pressure, density and weight, and many more.\n\nYou need to study various books so that you can get the answer. This media is perhaps very small.

By the time a cavity is causing toothache, how likely is it that you will just need a simple filling rather than anything more complicated like root canal therapy?

It depends on how extensive the damage is. But chances are good that you may need root canal therapy. (It isn't bad. I've had them... even have watched with a mirror.) If you're really scared, go to a dentist that specializes in patients who are fearful. You can get tranquilizers, gas, or other treatments that make the treatment almost painless. The longer you let it go, the more involved the treatment. If the tooth gets to the point where it has to be pulled, then you have to get a bridge to fill the gap so your other teeth won't move around. So that's even more work. \n\nReally, the best thing is to get it taken care of right away. Get it checked first. The dentist probably won't do the work during that first visit, anyway. But at least you will find out what you are up against.

Didn't find an inventor. Apparently, the practice of binding the ends of a strap dates back to at least Shakespeare's time (see article below), so I don't know if you'll be able to identify anyone as the sole inventor.\n\nHere's the Wikipedia article:\n\nAn aglet or aiglet is the little plastic or metal cladding on the end of shoelaces that keeps the twine from unraveling. The word comes from the latin word acus which means needle. In times past, aglets were usually made of metal though some were glass or stone. Many were highly ornamental, and made of precious metals such as silver. Before the invention of buttons, they were used on the ends of ribbons to fasten clothing together. Sometimes they would be formed into small figures. Shakespeare calls this type of figure an "aglet baby" in The Taming of the Shrew. Purely decorative metal ornaments called aigullette are sometimes features of modern military dress uniforms. \n\nIn modern times an aglet is a frequently used example of a common object whose name is relatively unknown. Perhaps due to this, they are occasionally referenced in popular culture. According to the paranoiac superhero The Question in Justice League Unlimited, their true purpose is sinister. According to characters from Achewood, aglets are a key ingredient in a drug called "Fool's Meth."


I have been thinking about this all night and cannot go to sleep. There is too much internal strife among the agencies; someone needs to break down the "wall" between security and intelligence.

You know, I ask this SAME question about guys. And I STILL never really came up with a good answer. I think it's just different for every girl. Sometimes girls come on really strong so it's OBVIOUS that they like you, but other times, they can just be secret admirers from the distance. If you tell her how YOU feel first, she'll tell you how she really feels too.

Before anyone says, "There's only one race, the human race"... this is not what I mean. I'm talking about physical appearance.\n\nDo you think we'll all start to look alike over the years, as more interracial children are born? \n\nWill physical attributes like blue eyes (since the gene for blue eyes is recessive) become obsolete? \n\nHow long do you think it will take, if this does happen?

Well if everyone was openminded and there was a complete mix of genes the way I understood my biology classes, yes recessive genes would slowly dissappear.\n\nBut, humans being the spiteful, bickering, narrowminded creatures they are, there will always be idiots trying to stick to their perverse ideals of racial purity.\n\nStill I don't believe this one appearance would be permanent. There are reasons why humans in different areas look different. And for the same reasons why wwe started with different pigmentations we'll eventually again end up with different skin colour. You cant really stop evolution.


I heard that the us operates on b instead of a, but it is still also a g, so will it work or will it not be compatible? this stuff is all way too confusing for me. it can be hooked up through an ethernet cable also, instead of a phone line, cus it says its an adsl router, but i dotn know...any help would be nice, i bought the thing in france and didnt stay there so now im stuck with a very expensive thing that i used less than a week...

What you have is an ADSL Gateway router! It is a wonderful device which will have multiple ethernet ports, DSL port and 1 or 2 wireless antennas. Here is the connection diagram:\n\nLAN Side: Within your home\nEthernet 1: PC1(use this to configure your router if needed)\nEthernet 2: PC2 (if any non wireless)\nEthernet 3: PC3 (if any non wireless)\nEthernet 4: PC4 (if any non wireless)\nWireless: to as many laptops that have an 802.11g wireless PCI/USB adapters\n\nWAN Side: from your home to internet\nDSL port (WAN): directly to a phone line.\n\nThe internet is accessed via the DSL line and information is routed into your home gateway which then bridges data to individual PCs.\n\nYou use ethernet to connect desktops or a laptop with which you wish to configure your router. Otherwise laptop is best connected via wireless. Check the wireless connection that your laptop is connected to and that it is yours and not a neighbors!


I work with my dad but I just think too much how much he's going to pay me.  I just want advice to not think too much on the money.  It's like to be honest, I like to make but not waste.  I don't know how to explain it but I get paid every 5 days but I don't like working because of the way he yells when doing things I don't know, I get stress the day before I go to work, and because of me thinking time slows down (ex: when I don't go to work its like it feels like it's 12 o clock and it is, I go to work I think it's already 4 o clock and its barely 1 o clock, and I work like til 6 o clock).

Do they have the option of working part-time as well?

The most common work hours for ems i.e. emt and emt-p (paramedic) is whats called a 24-48 which means 24 hours on shift and 48 hours off shift, second most popular way it is done is called 4 down 4 up. which means you would work 4 12 hour day shifts (7am-7pm) , then your off for 4 days , then you work 4 12 hour night shifts (7pm-7am),then your off for 4 days and the cycle repeats from there. these scedules are what most 911 ambulances use, but most ambulances that dont do 911 calls and dont have to opperate 24-7 , usually work 8-10 hour shifts and are closed at night, as a general rule at least. in my opinion the 24-48 hour type shift is much better.( that is how my shifts work), more and more ems sevices these days are allowing prn( part-time )employees usually a minimum of 1 24 hour shift or 2 12 hour shifts, but usually wont let you work less that a 12 hour block. these are general guidlines for most mojor ems systems and fire depts that run ems also. hope this helps, any other direct questions e-mail direct at army_rigger14@yahoo.com

How can they assimilate into american culture without losing touch of their roots?

For the teenager who's parents are immigrants,... LOVE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE AND TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT, you don't know what kind of life they lived and all that has to do with what makes them who they are now.  So don't try to change them into anything else. Just try to understand they did the best they could with what they had and with what knowledge they recieved. It may not be perfect but if they love you then just accept them for what they did for you.  For one thing in order to raise you, you don't know what kind of sacrifices, let me rephrase that, SACRIFICES they made and still make for you.  They could do what a lot of  people like to do and just think of themselves and get what they want but they probably didn't and gave what they could to make you who you are.  So once again, just love them and screw the american culture it's all selfish and self serving nowadays anyway.


I'm trying to calculate the value of a smoothing capacitor which is attached to a full bridge recifier.  Is anyone familiar with power supply and could help me out.  \n\nThanks

Regardless of what size capacitor you choose, there will be a small ripple on the output voltage, which of course gets bigger as the load increases.  You need to determine what is an acceptable ripple voltage for your load to calculate out a value.\n\nIf you want a totally smooth DC output, you'll need to first rectify and filter, then use a voltage regulator with a voltage set point that's a few volts below the voltage output from the capacitor.  Follow that by a smaller capacitor after the regulator to help catch any remaining transients and response after regulation.\n\nSomething to note:   Your capacitor's voltage rating should be much higher than the actual working voltage you will subject it to.  Eletrolytics like to blow up (literally) if you run them past their maximum rating, even for a short time.   Also remember this, the AC voltage that you measure at the output of the transformer (or the output of the rectifier, unfiltered) is the RMS voltage, not the peak voltage of the AC waveform.  Once you add the filter cap, your DC voltage will appear to be higher because the capacitor is charging to the peak voltage, which is basically the RMS voltage multiplied by 1.414   Keep this in mind as well when selecting the working voltage rating for your capacitor.

What are my odds of winning solitaire if i play it flawlessly?

Yes, almost all freecell games are winnable. I believe that there are only about 6 games that aren't, but in the version that comes with Windows, they only have 32k different hands and only hand #11982 is (known to be) unwinnable. \n\nWhen it comes to "standard" solitaire (klondike) it gets tricky and very interesting. While no one has proven the exact odds, the best method someone has thought of analyzing it with is the same method used in quantum physics and a possible proof of the Reimann zeta function. The Reimann zeta function is used to figure out prime numbers, but has yet to be proved to be correct or incorrect and is one of the most biggest mysteries in mathematics since it was proposed over 140 years ago.\n\nLook at the source for more info -- I personally find it amazing that prime numbers are somehow related to quantum energy states and that solitaire probability of all things could be similar as well.


He has a little white sore on his gum tissue right under one of his bottom "eye" teeth.  It is very painful for him.  So far we've been rinsing with warm salt water throughout the day and Tylenol for the pain.

My boyfriend wanted me to ask... I already have digital cable at my place but not internet.  He's got both at his place, but in order to get on line, he has to plug his cable line into his modem... Does this mean that if he comes to my place and does it, that he'll be able to get on line from there too?

Depending on how far apart you live and if you have the same cable provider, it is possible this would work. I believe cable uses the mac address of the cable modem to determine if user is authorized.


If yes, more info...\nIf no why arent they made?\n\nrather than passing to earth.( or grounding)

There is already a device that can collect electrical discharges, made earlier in the turn of the century, they are called leyden jars, Modern day terminology call these devices Capacitors or battery. The innovation from the leyden jars to the rechargeable battery took centuries to develop. The reason why they do not build massive structures for the purpose you described is because simply that lightning is an uncontrollable energy source. its random unexpected occurrence, its unstable and erratic voltage potentials makes it very dangerous and an inefficient source of stable energy. Perhaps why electromagnetic generators are built and are still being used as of today to supply a more controllable source of electrical energy. Its flexibility of use with hydro-electrical plants, wind farms, and fossil fuel plant, make the electrostatic generators more advantageous to deal with than lightning alone in producing electricity.\n\nOther alternative energy to consider are nuclear, solar, hydrgen fuel cells, and geo-thermal energy.\n~meow

Its a lose-lose situation.\n\nUS will have nothing to gain since PR has already given economically what it can. Even If PR doesn't file Federal tax returns, PR still pays Social Security and Medicare, they also pay import tax on goods so everything is more expensive in PR the U.S. and yet the avg. family income is significantly less.\n\nPR already has the benefits of every other state, except for VOTING power. Our Resident Commisioner of the House only has voice in government but no voting power, and PR does not vote for president. (On a side note- why does PR have Democrat and Republican Parties?) \nBut just having that simple right which Americans tend abuse... is the only plus in any of this.\nThe PNP (pro-state) wants statehood so the US can't in the future dump us fend for ourselves. and the fear of independence is wide due to mainly their radical ways of promoving their ideals, in terrorist acts and protests.


What is the difference between a DVD and CD Rom . I just had installed a new DVD Drive ( internal DVD + - R/RW drive by Emprex . I  believe it also deals with CD-R and CD-RW disks .\nHowever , I am having trouble transferring ( writing ) text documnents to this drive. Windows Wizard keeps saying :\n"CANNOT COMPLETE THE CD WRITING WIZARD ". I am at a loss of what to do. I am trying to contact EMPREX TECH SUPPORT for help but so far no answer. Can anyone out there advise me what's up and anser my few questions ?  Than You Sincerely .

DVD means 'Digitally Versatile Device'. It holds more capacity than a CD. A CD can hold 650MB to 700MB of data whereas a DVD can store upto 9GB of data depending on its type. Dual layered DVDs can hold more.\nDVD picture quality is better, and many of DVDs have Dolby Digital or DTS sound, which is much closer to the sound you experience in a movie theater.\nMany DVD movies have an on-screen index, where the creator of the DVD has labeled many of the significant parts of the movie, sometimes with a picture. With your remote, if you select the part of the movie you want to view, the DVD player will take you right to that part, with no need to rewind or fast-forward.\nDVD players are compatible with audio CDs.\nSome DVD movies have both the letterbox format, which fits wide-screen TVs, and the standard TV size format, so you can choose which way you want to watch the movie. \nDVD movies may have several soundtracks on them, and they may provide subtitles in different languages. Foreign movies may give you the choice between the version dubbed into your language, or the original soundtrack with subtitles in your language. \n\nThe Emprex drive that you have is capable of writing to blank CDs as well as blank DVDs. The discs that you can write to are CD-R, CD-RW, DVD R, and DVD RWs.\nHere is a link to simplify what I've said.\nhttp://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#4.3\nJust look at the table at the bottom.\n\nAlternatively you also maybe facing an issue with the writing software. Try another one like Nero or DVD maker.\nCheck if the Disc is empty.


I sometimes will wake up from a deep sleep and have no idea who I am, where I am, etc.  Anybody else?

Yeah ,,,,but mine is by choice...lol\nSeriously,,,I've only done it a few times and it only lasted about a minute....\nMy Buddy however,,,,use to do it all the time and as it turned out,,,,He had some major health issues going on that I wont get into cause I dont wanna scare the meat balls off of you..... \nHell,,,,my advice is to just enjoy it,,,,there's nothing wrong with forgetting about everything for a moment or so.lol


The answer should contain the principle involved in the process. Details of process involved is prefered

Radiation can be used to measure minute concentrations of a substance (solute) in solution with a device called a scintillation counter.\n\nFirst, you would incorporate a radioactive isotope into the salt.  For example, combining copper(II) nitrate with sodium carbonate labeled with carbon-14, would produce a precipitate of solid copper(II) carbonate labeled with carbon-14 (of a known concentration).  \n\nYou would then isolate the labeled Cu(CO3) and allow it to reach equilibrium with distilled water.  That solution is filtered to remove the remaining solid Cu(CO3).  The water can then be analyzed using scintillation counting to determine how much radioactivity is present.\n\nThe amount of detected radioactivity is proportional to concentration of the dissolved salt.  Using the (presumably known) quantity of carbon-14 in the Cu(CO3), you can calculate the actual concentration of the dissolved salt.


I was hired with the understanding that I would be promoted when an opening occured.  While on family leave because I had a baby someone else was promoted and my bose stated to me "because you were gone" someone else was given the promotion.

no\n\nQ: Will I lose my job if I take FMLA leave?\n\nGenerally, no. It is unlawful for any employer to interfere with or restrain or deny the exercise of any right provided under this law. Employers cannot use the taking of FMLA leave as a negative factor in employment actions, such as hiring, PROMOTIONS or disciplinary actions; nor can FMLA leave be counted under "no fault" attendance policies. Under limited circumstances, an employer may deny reinstatement to work - but not the use of FMLA leave - to certain highly-paid, salaried ("key") employees.\n\nThe second site below provides information on how to file a complaint and\ndetails on potential remedies.


What was she as a backup singer and a lover?  What was she like back then?

If you are talking about Margie Hendrix, she was originally a member of an R&B group called The Cookies. They formed in Brooklyn, NY in 1953. They signed to Atlantic records and had a hit called "In Paradise." Afterwords, Ray Charles found out about them and kinda disbanded that project and reformed them into a new group called The Raelettes. They became Ray Charles longtime backup singers with their unique call/responce vocals and pervocative erotic lyrics. Margie Hendrix farthered a son with Ray Charles also.

California is just getting too expensive. What is it like living in places like Charlotte, Asheville, and/or Raleigh-Durham?

If you like bigger cities Charlotte is a good place. There is much growth in the triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill). In the coast there are more things too do. North Carolina actually has the most growth in United States right now. But if you want to live in a calmer area i suggest in the mountains someplace like Asheville. In the triangle there are malls, downtown clubs, movies, shopping centers etc. I think youd like it.


Does camp originate from the word "campaign"....like an army campaign setting up camp?

It originates from Latin "campus", which just means "level ground". Then it became restricted to mean a piece of estate where soldiers struck up their tents. The campaign of course has partly kept its military connotations.


a lot of the opinions and answers suck. i get the crappiest answers in the world. meanwhile the entire world is going crazy and im still sane. elementary kids are doing drugs, having sex, and getting in fights. im christian and hate turning on tv, reading the newspaper, playing video games, and looking through magezines because of the crap you find. you dont even have to look for it. everything is just going to get worse.

Increase your liquid intake and make sure your house is humidified properly.\nGargle with warm salt water (¼ teaspoon salt to ½ cup water) several times a day.\nDrink a glass of hot water with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some honey. You'll feel better instantly. You can also drink a chamomile tea with lemon and honey added.\nCut a lemon into 2 pieces. Take one piece and put some salt and black pepper on it, press with a knife so that salt-pepper penetrate into the lime. Put the lemon on heat to make it warm. Slowly lick this lemon squeezing it until no juice remains. Do it 2-3 times a day.\nChives and scallions are helpful for a sore throat when simmered in water for 5 minutes. Drink as a tea.\nFigs, beets are beneficial in sore throat.\nEat garlic. Garlic is an anti-septic and good for many conditions.\nTake over-the-self pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\nuse commonsense hygeine.


I want to know in particular, why the leaders of the Catholic church are so revered, do Catholics follow any particular bible and how their ceremonies came about.\n\nThis is a lot to ask so sending websites is ok too.\n\nI am interested in all theologies and dogmas so feel free to state your opinions too.

Catholics are Christian. They do have some additional books in their Bible (Book of Wisdom, additions to Esther, Books of Maccabees). \n\nTheir ceremonies date back many centuries, even Milena (not more than two, however :-) ). Most are based on either:\n1. Traditions in Judaism\n2. Pagan Rites \n3. New traditions\n\nBy saying they are based in pagan rites, however, does not diminish their legitimate Divine order. Jewish traditions, such as the Passover meal, were adapted by Jesus and the early Church as the Eucharist. For detailed information, try the Catholic encyclopedia:\nhttp://www.newadvent.org/cathen/ \n\nI myself am not Catholic, but they have many beautiful traditions that I respect deeply.\n\nOh, and talk about false religion, Watch Tower is the publication of the Jehovah's Witness, a group believed by most Christians to be a cult. I am not endorsing this website at all, but check it out. Also, so your own search on the Internet/ your library for more information:\nhttp://www.macgregorministries.org/jehovahs_witnesses/jehovah_witness_index.html


I dont want anyone to tell me www.r4wr.com/friends because Ive already tried it and it doesnt work for some reason. So if you have any other sites that you know of..please let me know...

i know one that is called chase something has one.  but maybe i can help you with www.r4wr.com/friends  email me at amanda@codenamelydia.com for some help with it.  i have used it often.\n\noh and the chase one is really complicated, i have tried it, and stopped because it was too confusing.


How you break up with your boyfriend is entirely upto you.  You must realize that it has to be done.  Now, when you do should be done ASAP.  The longer you stay with him, the more it will hurt.


We use to have sex all the time, then we stop for a while, now that we try to do it, her puzzy is to tight, and it hurts her when i put it in her, what should we do?

go slow and be very gently with her...i have the same problem..me and my guy...he takes his time and loves on me when he inserts to help take my mind off the pain...don't be too anxious...slow is the key...


When jumping straight down, you can be seriously injured if you land stiff-legged. One way to avoid injury is to bend your knees upon landing to reduce the force of the impact. A 75 kg man just before contact with the ground has a speed of 4.5 m/s. \n(a) In a stiff-legged landing he comes to a halt in 2.4 ms. Find the average net force that acts on him during this time. \n N \n(b) When he bends his knees, he comes to a halt in 0.10 s. Find the average force now. \n N \n(c) During the landing, the force of the ground on the man points upward, while the force due to gravity points downward. The average net force acting on the man includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of these forces, find the force of the ground on the man in parts (a) and (b). \nstiff legged landing \n N \nbent legged landing \n N \n\nI know B is 3.4x10^3,all my other answers are wrong.

This is just an application of Newton's Second Law: F=ma, just remember that acceleration is really the change in velocity divided by time. In the first case, the acceleration is (4.5 m/s)/(0.0024 s) = 1875 m/s^2. Thus the force will be mass times acceleration or 75 * 1875 = 140625 N (1.4*10^5 N). The same logic will get you the 3.4*10^3 N for part B.\n\nFor part C, the net force will be the force of the ground minus the force of gravity (you should draw a free-body diagram to confirm this). So the force of the ground will be equal to the net force (which you already calculated) plus the force of gravity. Gravitational force is going to be mg (m is the mass of the person and g = 9.8 m/s^2). So just add mg to both of your previous answers to get the answers to part C.


it said some thing about my javascript an that it could still be read meaning my ip adress.. how do i get around it an get back in the room??

On June 11, 1948, a V-2 Blossom launched into space from White Sands, New Mexico carrying Albert I, a rhesus monkey. Lack of fanfare and documentation made Albert an unsung hero of animal astronauts. On June 14, 1948, a second V-2 flight carrying a live Air Force Aeromedical Laboratory monkey, Albert II, attained an altitude of 83 miles. The monkey died on impact. On August 31, 1948, another V-2 was launched and carried an unanaesthetized mouse that was photographed in flight and survived impact. On December 12, 1949, the last V-2 monkey flight was launched at White Sands. Albert IV, a rhesus monkey attached to monitoring instruments, was the payload. It was a successful flight, with no ill effects on the monkey until impact, when it died. In May 1950, the last of the five Aeromedical Laboratory V-2 launches (known as the Albert Series) carried a mouse that was photographed in flight and survived impact.

Man Just Using Virgin Mary To Get To Jesus\nMarch 17, 2006 \n\nTUPELO, MS—The Blessed Mother Mary said Monday that devout Catholic Anthony Montero is simply praying to her as a way to get to her son, Jesus Christ. "People exploit me for my connections, worshipping me as a way to get closer to Jesus," said the Holy Virgin, bathed in a golden light and attended by seraphim. "How would Anthony feel if I called upon him in the guise of friendship, but simply wanted his cousin to do some plumbing work for me? It's just rude." Our lady added that, if Montero wants to reach Jesus so badly, maybe he should "grow a pair and pray to him directly."

The only wat to God is To God him self not Jesus or anyone else


At the part where she is going Yamahlboam, and gets all hoarse in the throat etc etc. what does that part mean, and where does it originate ?

I always enjoy Tori's songs, and the cryptic lyrics add to my enjoyment (oddly enough, for I usually like to know what it is that I'm singing along to).\n\nIn this case, the invocation addresses Yaldabaoth, one of the names for the demiurge (=the god creator of the physical world and our physical aspects).\nAccording to wikipedia, "Yaldabaoth" literally means "Child, come here". Samael is another name for him, and also the name of a Christian demon.\nAnd Sophia is (according to Greek myth) the mother of the Demiurge.


I have heard a lot of arguments for a One World Government (no more wars, easier to end world hunger, etc.) but I would like to hear about how such a government could affect the world negatively.

Whoever argues in favor of a one world government isn't thinking straight.\n\nDo you have arguements within your own immediate family? Divorce, abuse, hate, neglect, dysfuntion??? Of course! We all do. It's the human way. It doesn't matter rather you share the same last name, the same hair color, skin color, eye color, language, religion, or PARENTS! None of those facts stop fighting within families so it is completely ILLOGICAL TO THINK IT WILL STOP IT WITHIN THE ENTIRE WORLD.\n\nA one world government and talk of it has to do with one thing only. Centralizing power into the hand of a very few, more so than now, and taking away a person's ability to flee that power by moving to another country. In essence, it's about TRAPPING PEOPLE into the hands of a few who think they are important enough to control everyone. THAT IS ALL! It will do nothing good for you, me, or anyone else but those at the absolute top in control of the entire world. People better recognize that that's what globalization is about and start attempting collectively to break it up now.


My daughter has a wart on her hand that she has had for a while now. I don't want to have to take her to the dr to have it burned off, ant suggestions of something that I can try that might be less painful for her??

This site has a ton of ideas about wart removal:    http://www.otan.us/webfarm/emailproject/warts.htm\n\nHere is the scoop on duct tape:  \n\nA recent study done at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington, showed surprising results: Sticky, silvery duct tape was found to be better at removing warts than the standard in-office method of freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen.\n\nFor the study, a piece of duct tape the exact size of the wart was placed on top of the protrusion for six days. When it was removed, the patient or their parent soaked the wart in water, then gently scraped it with an emery board or pumice stone. The tape was left off for one night, then the process was repeated. Although the study lasted for two months, most of the taped warts disappeared within 28 days.\n\nNot only was duct tape less painful for the children in the study, but the technique eliminated warts in 85 percent of the cases (freezing the wart was only 60 percent successful). Rick Focht, M.D., lead author of the study, thinks duct tape might produce a response in the immune system, allowing the body to light off the virally induced wart.  http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1041/is_2_81/ai_97173892

if yes, won't the tree die? does that mean we killed the tree found to be 4500 yrs old?

no. You don't count the rings on the bark. YOu count the rings from a cross-section of the trunk, and the ways to do that is to cut the tree down, which kills it, OR take a core sample, which may or may not kill it.\n\nThe rings from the trunk of the tree are created by the growth of the season (when the new soft wood is created into old hard heartwood), so basically it is going from "old bark to new bark". The thicker the ring, the more growth.\n\nFor the love of everything, do not listen to anybody that says yes. The bark has no rings. The trunk is the only thing that has the rings. Humans have killed a bristlecone pine tree dating OVER 4500 years old! \n\nfor more information go to:\nhttp://www.sonic.net/bristlecone/dendro.html\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/methuselah/treering.html\nand to really show you some good pic on the tree rings\nhttp://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artjan02/treering.html

He didn't even contribute in the Super Bowl. 1 good rush was it. Fast Willie Parker will just get a few more chances at some Tds as will Duce Staley!!!\n\nCan't believe I went threw this much trouble for an answer!!

Case, Memory Hard drive, motherboard???\nWe do have the CD and ZIP drive salvaged from the other that just crashed.  I can't find my XP disc to try and reinstall

Case, power supply, motherboard, RAM, processor, hard disk drive, CD/DVD drive.  Your motherboard might have integrated video, LAN, and sound devices, but you might need to buy them as well.  Also, you'll need to buy a new copy of Windows XP if you want to have your software be legitimate if your current version came with your computer since the licensing on XP is tied to specific hardware; I'd recommend getting an OEM copy from the same place providing your motherboard.

Burnett will soon go on the DL.  Replace him with a pitcher with good strikeout potential.  Bedard or Cabrera of Baltimore, Escobar of the Angels, Oliver Perez or Justin Verlander are some good ones.  Drop Padilla NOW.  A bad pitcher pitching in a bad pitching park will hurt you.  Wakefield could also be dropped if needed.  Your offense isn't bad.  Granderson of Detroit might be a good replacement for Casey.  He has the ability to steal 20 or more bases and hit 20 or more home runs.  And I would start Freel over Drew.

You'll have the best luck if you employ the assistance of a councellor experienced in eating disorders.\n\nI believe that Bulemic impulses are in large part influenced by psychological factors that include self-esteem and also a strong sense that too many things in life that are important to you are beyond your control.  What you allow your body to consume is often one of the few things that a person can truly control and can thus become a focus of that psychological need.\n\nPsychologists have been dealing with eating disorders for a long time now and that is one area that they no longer struggle to treat effectively.\n\nYou do need to find one you feel comfortable with though.\n\nPlan on visiting two or three regardless of how they strike you, just so you can feel like you chose one you have nice chemistry with.\n\nChances are also really good that this new relationship will end up benefiting you in other areas of your life over the years and be a really positive addition to your support network.\n\nGood luch!


I just opened a handcrafted jewelry store in a jewelry mall on line.How do I get people to see my site?

You should submit the URL to search engines, join discussion groups where you can mention your store, include links as part of your email signature, even pass out flyers at local craft stores and shows. Always include a business card with the URL with every order you sell and offer discounts for repeat business or referrals.


What are the laws or precedences that indicate that if you sign a contract (like to appear in TV shows or Films) while you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol that the contract is null and void?

Generally a contract is considered void if the person agreeing to the contract is not considered "competent" at the time of the agreement.  As a general rule, a court of law would not consider a person whose judgment is impaired by the use of drugs or alcohol at the time of the person's consent to the agreement to be "competent."  Proving that a person's judgment was impaired by the use of drugs or alcohol at a specific point in time can be very difficult.\n\nAnother issue with your question is that you are concerned with the rights of third-party adults (i.e., other adults  that you saw on TV).  Although your concern may be admirable, practically and legally speaking you do not have legal standing to protect the rights of these people.  The persons on these TV shows, most likely (assuming they do not have legal guardians), would have to raise this defense to the contracts themselves.

I am the only to inherit my uncle after his death (according to the deposited will at his attorney). However, his sister and her son will very likely try to over rule his will.The will opening will be in about 20 days. What will be the outcome. Please help me.

This isn't a psychic question and answer forum, but perhaps a person with psychic abilities will notice your question and give you an answer.\n\nIf you are specified in his will as the sole inheritor, it sounds as if you will be. He must have cared a great deal for you to leave his sister and his nephew out of his will. That alone should give you a tremendous peace and comfort, as I'm sure you are grieving over his death and your loss.

I am looking for a scientific answer.  I'm not as interested in a religious answer like how many generation since Adam and Eve.

The first species of the genus Homo appeared about 2.5 million years ago.  The first Homo sapiens appeared about 160,000 years ago.\n\nDuring the last 1500 years and before the advent of birth control, the average length of a generation has been 30 years.  This is known from accurate genealogical records.  It is calculated by dividing the number of generations into the years elapsed.  I'm sorry I don't have a reference for this.  It is born out by my own genealogical work with numerous lines over 10 generations and the lineage of an acquaintance who was descended from Mohammed (his was 29.5).  Also, I have seen many other genealogical results close to 30 years per generation.\n\nUsing 30 years per generation, Homo appeared 83,000 generations ago and Homo sapiens appeared 5,300 generations ago.

Is there anyway to unclog a toliet without a plunger? We need to unclog it soon!


I hear people talk about how they found this website that you can look up anyone and see what is in there file. Anyone know this site or one like it?

There are many sites that say they will give you peoples records but all they do is give you the info on where to go to get them. SOme for a fee will go to the court house and look them up for you. You can do this yourself at your local court house or where the person you want to find out about was arrested or not. I have tried just about all of them that I could find.

he is the perfect guy well not perfect but he try to be.He is like he is the guy that is always there for you never let's you down.He is the sweetest person i've ever met my cousin says that since he is a gangster he might be facking his love for me but he says he would never hurt me or anyone he says that if i tell him to get out of the gang he will he usually doesn't do drugs or get's involved in stealing and I know that for afact. I really need to know if he is going to work out and would I get a life with him you know he is tellin gme to follow my dreams and that he will always be there for me and I really believe in him he tells me he wants to get the same career so we will open a buss=iness together.

Ok, if by gangster, you mean he's in a real life gang, then he's not worth your time. He might be the nicest, sweetest guy you've ever met in your entire life, but obviously he's got issues. Don't get involved with something that you might not be able to handle. If he wants out of the gang, he'll do it on his own. You can't make people change. If he changes on his own and you still like him, then go for it!


I'm looking to end this 9-5 routine and become my own boss.

depends on your circumstances...\n\nbut for most people the problem is you don't have a bunch of money lying around while you "build the business" so you need something that will start bringing in the cash. \n\nthe best bet is to work two jobs, the one you got from 9-5 and your new one of building a business from 5-9. Then once you grow it enough you can quit the other one.\n\nYou need to find something you will enjoy (clearly this is why you don't like the job you have now and want to quit).\n\nRemember this is hard work and may not be for everyone. Especially in the begining. But if you have enough desire you will make it.\n\nI know a person that bought two espresso stands and works in one for a shift and is bringing home as much money as they could make as an employee and all they had to do was borrow $50k to get them both built. But then again all they have really done is create a job for themself, cause if they pay someone to take their spot it all of a sudden isn't so much money.\n\nGood Luck finding and creating your dream job.\n\ngood resource if you want to start your own "real" business:\nhttp://www.entrepreneur.com/\n\ngood resource if you want to create your own job \n(don't worry the advice is good for anyone you don't have to be a mom):\nhttp://www.internetbasedmoms.com/

I recently uninstalled the visual studio6.0 using installation vizard cos the program show some problems when using. Now I tried to install it from a CD. The set up started and copied files to default directory. But failed to compleat the installation and shows the message" setup is failed to create a DCOM user account inorder to register 'c:program files/microsoft visual studio/common/tools/vanalyzer/valec.exe'. Why this error? Plz help me to install . What is the problem? How do i overcome?

Actually did u uninstall it or deleted it from its source? If u have uninstalled it then try installin the software in some other drive.If u have deleted it then u would have to format ur system


I love him and I think I messed up the relationship with some mental health problems I was having.

if he can't deal with your health issues, then let him go...  odds are, the mental problem will be around longer than him... \njust my opinion though...  you gotta do what feels right for you...


Don't ya just love giving silly answeres? Have a great day and keep smiling. Ok, don't smile if you do not feel like it. No, you should attempt to grin at least.


The religious right don't kiss the feet of gays, the fundamentalists vote for invasions and revenge, NOT for turning the other cheek, the born agains are uneasy, NOT loving and accepting with inter-racial marriage or Mexicans working in the U.S. -- the evidence is irrefutible. So if you are ill and a medicine makes you worse, why in this world would you ever take it?

It is not the act of converting or following a religion that is the problem.  You assume that following Christianity, or any religion, somehow makes a person a better human being.  There is plenty of evidence to the contrary.  Those who behave in the manner you described are hypocrites, which is a sin in most religions.  Just because a person calls himself a good Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc. doesn't make it so.\n\nThose that truly follow the fundamentals of their faith should understand their obligation to strive to be the best person they can be... to have concern for the welfare of others and not just themselves... to be thankful for what we have... and to actually behave like human beings, rather than animals.\n\nDo we wish for a return to the laws of the jungle, or will we actually use the brains were endowed with?  Tolerance and respect for each other would go a long way toward making the world a better place.


I have a horrible gag reflex..it's mostly a texture thing.  I have a hard time eating yogurt, jello, certain soups, drinking alcohol, even give oral sex!

My gag reflex used to be really sensitive, and I love doing....a certain thing we won't mention for my guy. It took a while, but slowly it went farther and farther away, and now I can barely feel it at all, if you know what I mean ;). It just takes time.


what are stem cells and what is their purpose?

Stem cells are little cells that babies have to form their organs. They can be made into whatever cell you need basically. Stem cell implantation is a handy little thing that transfers embryonic cells (like the kind you had when you were first convieved) into basically whatever kind of adult cell that you need. (It could be a kidney, heart, lung etc..) Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but there are people why believe that it is inhumane. Stem cells can be taken out of the mothers umbilical cord, and also when women get their tubes tied we want to use the rest of their eggs for stem cell research. Some people say that this is murder in itself and should be banned, but they probably know nothing about it. Stem cells could save lifes of many people. (people that have diseases such as Parkinsons, Alzheimers, Diabetes, etc..)


It seems to me the networks have gone cancellation crazy. They cancelled "Emily's Reasons why not" after about 3 or 4 episodes and the same with the cooky show "The crumbs". I think they don't give them a fair enough chance to gain a fan base. When "Cheers" first premiered it received lack-luster ratings then went on to gain huge ratings and acclaim. What do you think about this? Its almost like why even get interested in a show just to have it pulled off the air after 3 or 4 episodes. Isn't it completely unfair to the viewers?

I've always wondered that myself.  It's shame that good, quality shows are canned and CRAP goes on and on...

My internet is slow and im looking for an accelerator that will boost my internet speed

Internet Accelerators are completely useless. They are hyped up by the dialup companies, but in actuality do almost nothing. What they do is to compress the TEXT and SOME image files as they are transmitted across the internet which causes an extremely slight APPEARANCE that your speed is increased, when in fact it is not.\n\nAnother type of accelerator is one that finds multiple copies of a file you are downloading and retreives it from multiple sources. This is becoming harder and harder as more and more servers deny 3rd party server access, thus making this type of accelerator obsolete.


i fit that description but i am currently about 130lbs (size 6 ish) and am trying to find an ideal weight range to make a goal for

it depends on how you are built. everybodys diffrent. if you are a size 6, then i dont see anything wrong with you.  if you want to lose a few pounds, then just cut out sugar and some carbs, but if you are happy with your weight and size , then don;'t change a thing.


Also, I have can pull up mozilla firefox. I have updates windows. Downloaded the cache clear which is what they recommend. I have macafee, ad-aware, ccleaner, and spywareblaster. Could these be part of the problem? Thanks!

Yes. Ad Aware is Adware itself, only to trick with names. And Spywareblaster is also a type of Spyware itself, it is a Trojan Horse. you should download SS Secure Shell and Spybot however I do not know how just search for it on www.yahoo.com or www.google.com\nAlso, macafee i think is a very destructive Trojan Horse and will probably overwrite all your documenmts. I suggest you immediatly download Norton Ghost, too, if possible.

I have a daughter with bipolar and the services she needs are either non exsistant or there is not enough funding for places to stay afloat and they close. How can I raise awareness maybe raise money in order to help her and many more children who are falling through the cracks. I'm not sure where to begin or who I should contact. In the state of Michigan government funding has been cut drastically. what should I do?

I am a psychologist - we need more people like you!  Mental health is always the last thing that is funded because there is still a stigma associated with it.  Go to APA.org.  That's the website for the American Psychological Association.  They will have plenty of info for you.  Also, just FYI, you can apply for Medicaid for your daughter to help cover her treatment.  Also, if you have a community mental health center near you, try that option.  She can get services for little or no cost through that type of agency.


I have an insect but I don't know its name.\nIt likes a dragonfly but It is yellow, it's smaller than dragonfly. The hind wings are smaller than the fore wings so I think it's ont a dragonfly. It has 3 pairs of legs and It has a long pair of antennae on its head. It looks like a mayfly but It doesn't have the antennae after the abdomen.

I do not have any children myself, but do you agree on smacking a child (within reason, of course!) if they are behaving very badly and being disobedient?\n\nOr are you for or against?\n\nPersonally I am for. But then again, I don't have children so who am I to say?

A well placed and well timed smack can do wonders. But it must not be excessive. After all a child needs to be reminded that we as parents are there to teach them proper ways to behave. Parents have the responsibility to raise a child (to the best of their ability) to be good citizens. Of course there are always exceptions.

since you say you've pooped, its probably a stomach bug.  make sure you drink lots of liquids water/tea, not soda or beer, and eat non fatty food, like toast or pasta.  if the symptoms continue for a while...go see a doctor.  \nif you vomit repeatedly over the time of a cpl of hrs...go see a doctor.  \nbut im not a doctor...so you're best bet would probably be to call your doctor or emergency room, describe your symptoms, and they'll let you know if/when you should come in.


Do we give it to ourselves, or is it a gift from others?

WHAT IS STRESS?\nWe are all familiar with the word "stress". Stress is when you are worried about getting laid off your job, or worried about having enough money to pay your bills, or worried about your mother when the doctor says she may need an operation. In fact, to most of us, stress is synonymous with worry. If it is something that makes you worry, then it is stress.\n\nYour body, however, has a much broader definition of stress. TO YOUR BODY, STRESS IS SYNONYMOUS WITH CHANGE. Anything that causes a change in your life causes stress. It doesn't matter if it is a "good" change, or a "bad" change, they are both stress. When you find your dream apartment and get ready to move, that is stress. If you break your leg, that is stress. Good or bad, if it is a CHANGE in your life, it is stress as far as your body is concerned.\n\nEven IMAGINED CHANGE is stress. (Imagining changes is what we call "worrying".) If you fear that you will not have enough money to pay your rent, that is stress. If you worry that you may get fired, that is stress. If you think that you may receive a promotion at work, that is also stress (even though this would be a good change). Whether the event is good or bad, imagining changes in your life is stressful.\n\nAnything that causes CHANGE IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE is stressful.\n\nAnything that causes CHANGE IN YOUR BODY HEALTH is stressful.\n\nIMAGINED CHANGES are just as stressful as real changes.\n\nLet us look at several types of stress -- ones that are so commonplace that you might not even realize that they are stressful.......\n\nEmotional Stress\nWhen arguments, disagreements, and conflicts cause CHANGES in your personal life -- that is stress


Me and this guy have been messing around for about three months it was causual or so I thought. In his mind he's committed and loyal to me so the thought of another girl is unthinkable. So if I were to start seeing other people to is that considering cheating on him?

I would say yes it is cheating if it's not something that's already been agreed upon. Ultimately, the real answer to the question would be his answer in conjunction with yours. I personally wouldn't do anything to jeopardize what you have going. My boyfriend and I started fooling around with each other a few months before we started dating. But, off the bat we decided and made it clear that messing around with other people was completely off limits. I was completely happy with that, because frankly I would think of myself as a whore to be sleeping with two guys at the same time. What made things really different though, is that him and I have been friends since we were 11. This didn't start happening til just after high school. But, we decided to become a couple and have been dating ever since.\nThe moral to all of this, really, is that you shouldn't do anything to f**k up what you already have going, because it may turn out to be the best thing that you'll ever find. At the very least, talk to him about it first. He seems to be pretty devoted to you, cherish because not many people can find others who are devoted.

The inner planets are the 4 planets who's orbits are closest to the sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars).  The asteroid belt (and millions and millions of miles) seperates the inner planets from the outer planets.\n\nCompared to the distances in between the outer planets, the inner planets might as well be right next to eachother, the distances really start getting big in the outer solar system.


I have met someone online, and have been exchanging emails.  I was just wondering if this is normal, or if even possible.

yes i believe you can be atrracted to someone by their writing it gives you insight that most may not see or take the time to see. sometimes its hard for people to express themselves with verbal words but can write their thoughts or expressions better. it may be a good way to get to know them so yes its possible.


My son recently deployed and just before his unit left formation to get on the bus, they all started singing "Build Me Up Buttercup".  I was told by some other parents that it was a tradition to sing the song before an important mission.  I want to know how this tradition got started.

The military is all about morale, the better the morale the happier, and the tighter the people work together. It's propably just that particular units morale booster song. In boot camp we used to sing "roxanne" before we went to sleep b/c when they turned out the regular lights "they put on the red lights" so it made us laugh after a long hard day. (this was the navy not marines, the red lights were to get us accustomed to a ship)

In most of the interviews, it is mentioned that the candidate should be initiative at work.

Taking initiative means coming up with good new ideas and presenting them properly in the context of the corporate culture where you work.  If your company is very much about chain of command, then you need to bring your ideas to your supervisor.  If it's very innovative and free thinking, you'd use a different approach.\n\nIt also depends on what 'level' you are at the company.  Most companies would probably frown on an admin assistant who tried to startup a new multimillion dollar program without telling anyone...while an upper level exec can do that and is expected to do that.

when you get the "bad swipe" message at the point of sale (register) why does it work when you cover the magnetic strip with paper or plastic?

If the card has been demagnetized, nothing will make the card work.  All of the credit card's information is contained on the magnetic strip on the back of the card.  If the credit card is demagnetized, the info is lost and the card will not work during a swipe in a card reader.\n\nHowever, if the card is slightly scratched - enough for it not to work in the card reader, a piece of paper of plastic bag may work to prevent the card reader from mistaking the disturbance in the magnets (microscopic magnets in the strip) for actual credit card data.

I am looking for a good, entertaining book for a second grade girl.   Any suggestions?

I got mine into the American girl books.  She loves them we also read classics like the Secret Garden and Little Princess.  Then the books like Twinkle the Tooth Fairy (there is a whole series and the are great for beginning readers) The Princess and the Locket (another reason she loved these books is they come with charm necklaces), The Magical Ballet Slippers. Baby sitter's Club - Little sisters.\n\nAlso try your public library.  We could go up and spend hours there and the whole time she having fun and learning.  The people that work in the Library are usually very helpful and can show you where you should get books from.  At most libraries they are now also sectioning some books off in levels and your librarian can explain this better as it differs from publisher to publisher.  But you find the level of book your daughter is at and have lots more availiable at the same level.  And it's free!

I need to now how I compute KWH for a 240 volts ac when check whit a amp meter. Ex. one line of 120 volts read 30 amp., the other read 25 amp. supose is a constant rate in time.

Starting with Ohm's law:   P = I * V\n\nSo in your example: \n P1 = 120V x 25A = 3000W\n P2 = 120V x 30A = 3600W\n\n Ptotal= P1 + P2 = 7600W or 7.6kW\n\nNow, energy consumed in kW-hr is just the power multiplied by the duration in hours:\n\n  Say that you held this load for 2 hours, then:\n  \n  E = P x t = 7.6kW x 2 hours = 15.2kW-hr

I've agined maybe ten pounds within the last few months.  I need to get the extra weight off of me, though.  How do I do this?  Exercise and eating right have been told to me over and over again, but it's easier said than done.  I'm lazy, lol.  And i really don't have the time for exercising.  But I need to lose the weight for my prom, which is in May.  Do I have the time to lose the weight?  Are there any diet-supplementary pills maybe that would help my health and not harm it?????

I think you should just excersize. It dosent take that much time!!! That is probably the best thing, and continue eating right.


Some friend of mine just wanted to know how to lose weight fast, in about two weeks. Nothing fancy or something that would cost money ( as in work out equipment ) .

crash diets just don't work. aim for a healthy lifestyle and exercise. you can also use natural products like virgin coconut oil. it promotes weight loss because it has a special kind of fat (medium chain fatty acids) that stimulates metabolism and make you feel full fast. good luck on your diet plan. i wish you the best.

It can happen, but it has never happened for me. Usually if you close all your programs it should be fine. The icon is to the right on the task bar, and appears as a little green arrow (Windows XP). You can disable it by left clicking the icon then clicking the drive letter. However, Windows sometimes complains that the device could not be stopped.\n\nAnother way to disable the device is to do it in the hardware properties for the device. Go to My Computer, right click the drive and click "Properties". Click the "Hardware" tab and locate your device in the list then click "Properties". Under the "General" tab at the bottom, you should see a drop down box "Device usage". Select "Do not use this device (disable)".


I have a 401K, but I'm wondering if there's a more effective way to save/earn.

Your 401k is the best method you have right now.  If you can afford it, max out your pre-tax contributions.  At your age, I would lean toward a more aggressive portfolio in the 401k.  As you get closer to retirement you can change the mix to be more conservative.\n\nBesides the 401k, if you want to save more for retirement, you could look at a Roth IRA.  You may or may not qualify for one depending on your circumstances.\n\nAnother vehicle would be an annuity.  You can get them either fixed, indexed, or variable.\n\nSeek out a financial professional.  He can evaluate your individual situation and help you plan.

St. Patrick of Ireland is one of the world's most popular saints. \n\nApostle of Ireland, born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387; died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, 17 March, 461.\n\nThere are many legends and stories of St. Patrick, but this is his story. \n\nAs a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. Ireland at this time was a land of Druids and pagans. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him. \n\nDuring his captivity, he turned to God in prayer. \nPatrick's captivity lasted until he was twenty, when he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast. There he found some sailors who took him back to Britian, where he reunited with his family. \n\nHe began his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by St. Germanus, the Bishop of Auxerre, whom he had studied under for years. \n\nLater, Patrick was ordained a bishop, and was sent to take the Gospel to Ireland. He arrived in Ireland March 25, 433, at Slane. One legend says that he met a chieftain of one of the tribes, who tried to kill Patrick. Patrick converted Dichu (the chieftain) after he was unable to move his arm until he became friendly to Patrick. \n\nPatrick preached and converted all of Ireland for 40 years. He worked many miracles and wrote of his love for God in Confessions. After years of living in poverty, traveling and enduring much suffering he died March 17, 461. \n\nHe died at Saul, where he had built the first church.\n\nAs far as leperchuans, seeing is believing, haven't seen any yet. But if I do I hope he has that pot of gold I've I have been looking for.

I have a firewire port and I need to connect my desktop and laptop. I have already connected the wire to both computers. The small end is on the laptop and the big end is on the desktop. I want to transfer files. Is there a way this can be done? If so, how can it be done and what are the steps.

Some people.  Yes you can connect them via Firewire.  Put the files you want to transfer in a shared folder, or share the folder they are currently in.  It should be as simple as plug and play, both Mac and PCs running Windows XP support transfers of files via Firewire.  Note, you can't do this with USB 2.0 unless you have a network enabled USB 2.0 connection, it's a special USB cable you have to buy, basically it has networking brains in it.  Firewire has this ability built in.


my boyfriend and I were "makin love" and he says he wants to be with me forever during it! It scared me! Does he mean it?Is this how you can tell? Answers PLEASE HELP!

It depends on the man. Some guys just say what they think you want to hear.Maybe he does you should talk to him about it and let him know that he needs to be honest with you.


why time, as a resource, is such an unusual commodity.

Time is not unusual, but is the single most important commodity you have.  You can always find more money, love is everywhere you choose to find it; assets are possesions, and while possesions can be traded, they cannot be truly owned.  Time however, can neither be owned nor purchased, nor traded.  Time is the most valuable commodity you have.  Make the most of it.  Time is such.


sombody dont like you,but you think if you prety enough he  woul like you

Its awefull how this society works today. I have big breasts and I have had alot of boys ask me out just because. But when u find someone who trully cares about you they wouldn't care what you look like. But yes the aweful truth is that looks have a great deal of impact on a persons perspective of you. Just be yourself. Don't worry about it, then if they do show intrest in you then they truly care.


we are stay not talk should I date someone eles or just call him now ?

How long has it been since you two talked? If not long like a couple of days, just give him some space. Try not to sweat it too hard, if it was meant to be it will happen. GOOD LUCK!!!
