Is there anything else I need to know?  I know a lot about the internal functions but when it comes to wires etc I am clueless.  are they plug and play or what?\nI know you need a power source duh! but let me know if I am missing anything.  Is wireless expensive?  how much?\ntoo many questions I know...:) good enough!

Well, it depends what you want to connect.\n\nPrinters usually use the LPT1 port or the USB port.  USB is pnp, LPT1 is not.\n\nThe serial port is used for a wide array of things; example is to talk to a PLC for automation.  You can use the serial port to control things like your oven as well.\n\nBUT, you seem to want to know about the ethernet port.  This is a RJ-45 port and does not fit into a regular phone jack.  It is slightly larger than a regular phone jack.  Say you have DSL, then a regular cord from the wall plugs into a modem, and from the modem goes an ethernet cord into the PC.  That's the simplest. \n\nDial-Up Modems do not use ethernet, and do use a regular phone jack.\n\nIf you want wireless, you still go through the same setup as wired +more.  Wireless can be difficult, and you need to make sure security is in place.  At least WEP, but preferably WPA.\n\nNote: Regarding the above post - most household don't secure their wireless connection meaning anyone within range can use the connection for the internet or havoc on your internal LAN (with some skill required for the latter). If you enable WPA and use a strong passphrase and don't advertise your SSID, you should never have a problem.


Actually, you DO always die if you COMMIT suicide.  Otherwise it'd be 'attempted' suicide.  I guess the only crime is ATTEMPTED suicide.  If you actually commit it, I guess being dead is punishment enough, is it not?


if so what ones and why do you cry in them

no but if you have not watched extreme home make over that will bring a tear in your eye and a lump in your throat.

(m)\n\nWe all know what anger is, and we've all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage. \n\nAnger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This brochure is meant to help you understand and control anger. \n\nWhat is Anger? \n\nThe Nature of Anger \n\nAnger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage," according to Charles Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. \n\nAnger can be caused by both external and internal events. You could be angry at a specific person (Such as a coworker or supervisor) or event (a traffic jam, a canceled flight), or your anger could be caused by worrying or brooding about your personal problems. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger angry feelings. \n\nExpressing Anger \n\nThe instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to threats; it inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. A certain amount of anger, therefore, is necessary to our survival. \n\nOn the other hand, we can't physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms, and common sense place limits on how far our anger can take us. \n\nPeople use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with their angry feelings. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger. To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others. Being assertive doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others. \n\nAnger can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it, and focus on something positive. The aim is to inhibit or suppress your anger and convert it into more constructive behavior. The danger in this type of response is that if it isn't allowed outward expression, your anger can turn inward—on yourself. Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression. \n\nUnexpressed anger can create other problems. It can lead to pathological expressions of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior (getting back at people indirectly, without telling them why, rather than confronting them head-on) or a personality that seems perpetually cynical and hostile. People who are constantly putting others down, criticizing everything, and making cynical comments haven't learned how to constructively express their anger. Not surprisingly, they aren't likely to have many successful relationships. \n\nFinally, you can calm down inside. This means not just controlling your outward behavior, but also controlling your internal responses, taking steps to lower your heart rate, calm yourself down, and let the feelings subside. \n\nAs Dr. Spielberger notes, "when none of these three techniques work, that's when someone—or something—is going to get hurt." \n\nAnger Management \n\nThe goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you

I'm doing  reserach for a school project and keep seeing things like 0.9Um CMOS technology or 0.35 Um Cmos tech, what exactly does that mean?

CMOS stands for "Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor".  It means that the technology is capable of making both NMOS and PMOS type transistors in the same process.   The MOS part just means the basic materials used to make the device are metals, oxide (meaning glass, basically), and semiconductors.   The P and N has to do with the whether the main well the transistor is constructed over is N doped semiconductor or P doped semiconductor.  The micron value you see in front of this, the ".9 um" or ".35 um" is called various things but usually called the "feature size" or the "critical dimension".  This is a measure of the width of the smallest feature on the device, usually the transistor channel width.\n\nAnother term to describe a technology which you may see is "BiCMOS".  This means that bipolar transistors can also be made along with NMOS and PMOS within the framework of that technology.   \n\nThings are small enough today that we use nanometers instead of microns.  I've been working with both 65 nanometer and 45 nanometer processes lately.  About the smallest currently used in consumer electronics devices is 90 nanometers at the moment, with 65 nanometer devices starting to become available.  In microns, this is .065 and .045 microns, and it's just easier to say "forty-five nanometers" than "point oh four five microns".  \n\nBasically, the way semiconductor processes are developed, the device engineers come up with a range of devices, individual circuit components, which can be made through the same set of steps, this set is generally referred to as a "process" or a "technology", so you could have a ".180 um CMOS process", for example.  The design engineers then have to work within the specified characteristics of that range of devices when designing a particular product that serves a purpose.  Process and integration engineers work to control the equipment and the steps of the process such that the materials used get structured correctly so that the resulting devices are within the spec range originally intended by the device engineer so that the product will actually work.  \n\nHere are some excellent construction analysis reports on various semiconductor chips, with lots of good images of cross sections.  Most of it's fairly technical and full of jargon, but there's a lot of information that may be useful to you, and a lot of good images:\n\nhttp://smithsonianchips.si.edu/ice/s4.htm


I'm transferring with my job.  I have an account with sbc.yahoo already and need to add my apartment in Longmont CO.  My family is not moving with me until 6-8 months.  Instead of having two accounts can I just have one?  I tried to set myself up on-line but an error came up and said I already have an account and booted me off.  Thanks

check with either bank if you can perform a balance transfer from one account to the other. once that is done, you can close the account you 'no longer need' if you wish.

I love my fiance' with all my heart, but we're very different, and we end up hurting each other a lot.  The toils of our relationship have worn me down, and I think its best if we go our separate ways.  I've never had to break up with anybody before, please help me.

I would say tell them and tell him soon, you don't want to keep leading him on. I would also say honesty is the policy in this situation, just be honest with him let him know how you are truly feeling and why. More than likely your going to hurt him a little but as long as your honest and gentle with his feelings, I think you will both be okay.


how did  people know what happenned during the world war 1 and world war 2?

They got they news about the war at the movie theatre and on the radio and in the news paper. You would get a moive, a cartoon or a short film like the three stooge ,and a news reel. Going to the bbc website and is talk about the bbc in world war 2.


They think TKD is the best martial art ever! Only because it's an olympic sport? I don't get it. It's boring by the way, I don't like how they fight in the olympics. Also I don't like the fact that they don't use their arms/fists to attack or block. And just as a comment, it isn't the martial art, it's the student who makes it good or bad...but going back to my question, why are they so damn conceited? Be humble!

mostly its defecne because people claim it a weak martial art because we don't do a lot of ground work. Olympic Tae Kwon Do is leashed from the real stuff, if you want to look up why it's quite interesting, a lot about politics between North and South Korea. \n\nThe people I train with are not stupid enough to say it is the best ever, it's a matter of perspective, and since we share our training space with Thai Kickboxing and Ju Jitsu, we have learned a little diplomacy. Some reckon it is a good base, if you use TKD and then train in Judo or Ju Jitsu for ground work you will be a good "street fighter" but we're not all in it for that. We keep fit, have fun, and there is no feeling i know quite like entering a TKD tournament, when all the bickering is done about what's best and your opponent uses the same discipline as you, it's such an electric competition. \n\nAny TKD student with a good teacher will not slag off other martial arts, but we also do have a reason to be proud about what we do, because many of us work very hard at it.


If this was an Arab Army doing this anywhere, we'ld be screaming FOUL!\n\nWhat a bunch of hypocrates we've become!\n\nI totaly sympathise with the Palestinians and I'm fed up with all those arogant fools who refuse to realise that we've been supporting Jewish extremism against the unsuspecting Palestinians for 50 years!\n\nOur treatment of the Palestinians made them rise up.\n\nI support Palestinian independence from Israeli occupation.\n\nAmen!

The silence is due to the fact that reality has become blurred in our political consience.


I have stated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes 4 month ago, and I have a litle improvment but not as nearly as much as I would like. I know I can do better but just going to classes dosent do it for me. May be somebody has sugestion or recomendation on where and how i can learn more and get a better understanding of ground fighting techniques. Also do I need to work on my phisical strengh as well( working out) or concentrate more on technique or both ? And if I do need to work out may be somebody can recomend Ideal workout routine ( I think regular weight lifting can get in a way by making you too slow ) \n\nThank you


And no, not a type of miner. \nSomeone who goes after someone else specifically for their money, someone who stays in a relationship for the financial benefits, or something else entirely?\n\nI have been called this, rather unfairly I might add. Would you take it as an insult?

Yes, someone who uses another person, in a relationship, for financial benefits, money, or for the partner to buy them things.  No, it's not another term for a prostitute, because some men (and women) are stupid like that, you don't have to sleep with them in order to get their money!\n\nIf I wasn't using someone, of course I would take this as an insult!


Atomic bonds are said to result from electromagnetic energy attracting and holding atoms together. \nYet, tremendous ongoing energy expenditure is required to hold the structure of a table together under the weight of a heavy object.\n\nWhere does this energy come from? How quickly does\nthis subatomic power source drain as it expends all this\nenergy?

That's a very good question.  No one really knows how the atomic nucleus holds together but this is generally not the reason for objects not falling through tables.  That is primarily due to the repulsion between the electrons in adjacent atoms.  In highly ordered systems of long-chain molecules or crystals the electrons are fairly densely packed and mostly impenetrable.  However the mechanics of this get more complicated above the molecular level.\n\nAs for your other question, as far as I know most atomic nuclei never spontaneously decay, except for the heavy elements like uranium.  There are many theories why this is the case, but I don't think any have managed a definitive answer.  \n\nThe energy for this bond might well be the mass of the particles themselves, since after all, e=mc^2.\n\nCheck out String Theory if you want a more comprehensive answer, but I warn you, it's a lot of very complicated math.

I mean, if you reject the findings of science because of your religion... isn't it the least bit hypocritical to use the products of science to spread your religion?

It is not hypocritical to reject the big bang but use a computer, because they stem from two different areas of science. However, a rejection of evolution is usually based on an ignorant knee-jerk reaction based on an inaccurate assumption of what evolution means. Many scientists believe in god AND evolution. It is people too insecure in their faith to actually study it, learn its history, and learn a more accurate view of what the Bible says (rather than what they are told it says by extremists with an agenda) who reject evolution whole cloth. They are afraid that if they accepted something as a mere physical fact that went against a spiritually immature literal translation of their holy book (you know, the same kind of literal translation that causes people to fly into buildings) that their faith would be corrupted. They don't have the inner strength of mind or character to think about their religion's teachings on a deeper spiritual level rather than a literal/physical one, so they are unable to realize the difference between spiritual and physical reality and accept those differences. They'd rather cover their eyes through ill informed denial than allow themselves to consider for even a moment something that might cause them to challenge their faith.


A line in the Cartesian plane passes through the points (-2,4) and (2,-1). What are the rise and the run of the line?\n\nThe run is _______ and the rise is _______.

Slope is the "change in y" divided by the "change in x" (AKA "rise" over "run").\n\n(x1, y1) = (-2, 4)\n(x2, y2) = (2, -1)\n\nThus:\n\nm (slope) = "delta y"/"delta x" = rise/run\nm = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)\nm = (-1 - 4)/(2 - (-2))\nm = -5/4\n\nrun = 4, rise = -5

go here http://finance.yahoo.com/education/begin_investing and start learning as much as you can, and if you ever get to work with a broker or advisor, they know what they are doing, but they are not magicians, they can't predict the future, so you would have to make your own research when it comes to make an investment decision, and finally they make money based on how many transactions they make a day, so they tell you where to invest, but you make the final decision.

i am trying to cancel noise which are not device specific.i mean if my house is near  a railway track and i dont want to hear the noise of train inside my house i willcancel the noise using some techniqe, outside the house only.

My first reaction is to suggest some noise cancelation earphones, but you say you do not want a device specific answer.  That walks us back from active to passive and we are talking insulation technigues to absorb sound and structural methods to scatter and reflect sound.  A masonry wall between your house and the tracks may well prove to be the most cost effective approach.  Try lookng over the Wikepedia articles referenced below.  Noise suppression and control is not a simple thing.

What made you people think that Jesus is the son of GOD? did he say that? When Jesus talk about GOD he was always discribing him as The father of all people, He always says, "your father" and the bible mentioned many times about many people as they are the Sons of GOD and that every good person is the sone of GOD, so why you devoted and specified tJesus as the true son of GOD, while he was mentioning many people as the sons of GOD and was always discribibg GOD as the Father of all people, he always use dthe Statement "YOU FATHER" so why you made him his father only??????\n\nAnother thing is, Can you get me any statement from Jesus that he asked people to worship him? on the contrary he kept saying that "and this is the eternal life, to know that you are the true GOD and Maseh Jesus you've sent" and he kept asking people to worship GOD not him, so why You are considering him a GOD and why do you worship him while he didn't ask you to do so??? Ain't you suppose to follow Jesus words?

This is good question by asked you. Jesus was sent only as a prophet to spread the message of good. He was born with out father that was the Gods's miracle only as he also created Eve with out a women and Adam with out man and women. so that's the God's miracle he shows us time by time. But it does not mean we consider his prophets beloved perons as God.

First off we need the definition of symbiosis:\nThe intimate living together of two dissimilar organisms in a mutually beneficial relationship.\n\nBased on that definition, there are no symbiotic relationships between these marine mammals and other species. Among a pod (group) of the same species, they exhibit a complex hierarchy and will each take on specific tasks for the greater good of the pod. These dolphins spend their life cruising open waters, eating fish and mating. They do not provide any symbiotic relationship to other species.\n\nYou might argue that a pod of dolphins feeding may benefit some marine birds due to the fact they bring fish up to the surface, but that is a one way street, the birds do little for the dolphins.

Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair.\n\nKill Her!"  \n\nThe man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife."  The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job.  Take your wife and go home."\n\nThe second man was given the same instructions.\n\n\nHe took the gun and went into the room.  All was quiet for about 5 minutes.  The man came out with tears in his eyes,  "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."\n\nThe agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."\n\nFinally, it was the woman's turn.\n\n\nShe was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.  She took the gun and went into the room.  Shots were heard, one after another.  They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.\n\nAfter a few minutes, all was quiet.  The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.  She wiped the sweat from her brow. \n\n"This gun is loaded with blanks" she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."

The internet is full of people claiming that Babe Ruth was a cheat who used a corked bat. \n\nI don't think so. I believe he used a laminated bat for awhile until they were banned for no other reason than they weren't made out of one piece of wood.\n\nSo what's the truth? Was Babe Ruth caught using a banned bat stuffed with cork or is that just a modern myth?

The article below, An Asterisk Here, "An Asterisk There, Jimmy Foxx and Hank Greenberg the Homerun Kings?", \non home run records claims that baseball's "No corked bat policy" comes from the discovery of the discovery that Ruth used one.  However, this article quotes "tricked bat" and interprets the phrase as "corked", while that is clearly debateable.\n\nhttp://blogs.foxsports.com/tkesaint521/MLB?page_no=2\n\nOn the other hand, it's doubtful that the use of a corked bat matters much (at least now).

people keep replying sex is not the only thing in a relationship my QUESTION IS. Is sex what brings two people to the point of becoming closer boyfriend girlfriend husband wife if you never have sex with some one would you marry them?......As for me I cant see it....dont get mad thats just me....

Sex is important in a relationship and obviousley most people would not get married or stay married if there was no sex involved. I would not marry someone who did not give me sex either. I do not think it is offensive to think like that. I just think you should tell her and see if she will change, ultimately you might not get what you want and you might and up divorcing her but would it hurt to try and make it work first.

I have an 8 yr old that likes to use the word gay as an insult. I want to have him read something tonight in reference to how the word gay hurts others when used as an insult. Thank you for your assistance.


This was a topic that came up last night while talking about my fathers court clerks.  My husband wanted to know what others think.  No he's not being sexist so if that what your answer is going to lean towards, just don't answer.  thanks

Why have so many honest, hard working Americans voted against their own best econmoic interest? Do they really believe extremely wealthy corporate-business-oil men are on their side?

I have been arguing this for a while.  The problem is we as the average Joe or basically the middle class, have no one representing us in DC.  These guys both Dem's and rep are only there to help big business and secure their jobs after their terms are done.  The middle class is the largest voting population.  And yet we continue to elect people that have not seen a hard day in their lives to represent us.  Just look at the last Presidential vote.  I'm richer then rich Kerry or I have had every thing handed to me Bush.  Not one of them ever had to choose between eating or heating their home.  They never had to worry about their job going to Mexico.  And until we (average Joe's) wake up and smell the coffee it will only get worse for us.


You may be thinking of:\n\nRecipes for Disaster, an anarchist cookbook recently published by the CrimethInc Worker Collective.\n\nIt is the long-awaited follow-up to the CrimethInc. collective’s notorious first book, Days of War, Nights of Love. This 624-page manual complements the romance and idealism of that earlier work with practical information and instruction. Over thirty collectives collaborated in testing, composing, and editing the book’s 62 sections, which range from Affinity Groups, Coalition Building, and Mental Health to Sabotage, Squatting, and Wheatpasting. These are illustrated with extensive technical diagrams and first-hand accounts, and prefaced with a thorough discussion of the diverse roles direct action can play in social transformation. If you’re looking for a tactical handbook for revolutionary action, look no further.


This is for a employee management class and we are looking in our employers handbooks for help

Employees should be treated with dignity and have the right to keep their personal lives separate from their business lives.\n\nDemanding information about taking sick leave is one of the more sensitive areas.\n\nEmployees should be made aware that use of emails within the company server and phone calls using the company phone system are not private.  They shouldn't find out the hard way.


In our country why is it that so many things are taboo? Don't u think that if we as a country did not make sex and drugs taboo that it would take the excitement out of the act.In other words if we did'nt make such a big deal about these activities, then the youth or unexperienced would'nt bear as much interest in finding out.In other countries these taboo activities are part of life and not kept a "secret". Furthermore the overall impression that is given in these countries is , "hey if u want to know look around". Instead our society depends on the media who i believe gives the youth and unexperienced a heightened couriosity twords sex and drugs because the laws force us to keep hush hush instead of learning from examples around the people.Backwards country?

the liberal demacrates have made it ok to do all these things. If, in some maraculus way, drugs or alchahal became band, they would IMMIDIATELY demand that the law is "unconstitutional" i heard that they took out the picture of George washington praying out of a school because they said that it was "unconstitutional".  HES OUR FOUNDING FATHER! And they just took his picture out because they thought it was suggeting the christian values in the school. But they teach the kids about hinduism and judisum, but when it comes to christianity, ITS ILLEAGAL to teach the kids about that. And INstead of trying to keep kids out of sex, THEY ARE HANDING OUT CONDOMS, and trying to "encourge" the mto safe. I agree, its twisted.


Pictures with the pink coat also...or just some really good info about it...or any really good wallpaper of Mariah.Thanks.

i agree with chipsncandy but if you realy want some try google. it knows everything.


Or at least learn how to type well? (i took a typing course when i was in school--somehow it never "took")

well...the problem is that i don't know where u live, but if they have this, your in good shape but if it doesn't then i don't know what to tell ya. anyways, i learned typing by a CD game called Mavis Beacon. so, what i'm trying to say is that, get Mavis Beacon. Mavis Beacon is about how to type without looking at the key boards, the good news is that, the game CD, has the lesson of how to type, it even shows which fingers to use for typing. then if u feel like u know how to do it, they have typing games u could practice. hopefully that works for u.


Because I wake up at 6:30 on saturdays, and then I have to go to a volenteer job, and at that ungodly hour, I am a nightmare!

if u have this workload on you, you can try this: a herbal tee from south america called mate or yerba mate. it has just little caffeine but plenty of other nutrients that really complement the stimulation effect of caffeine. it will give u more stamina than coffee and, unlike coffee, it is absolutely harmless, it is healthy in fact, u can drink it all day, just do not drink it right before going to sleep \n\ni used to drink lots of it instead of coffee, when i realized that i simply cannot continue drinking so much coffee.\n\n  or try Korean ginseng - eleuterococus (i used it when i was writing my thesis and had little sleep and much work) or leuzea=rhaponticum= maral root (i take this one or eleuterococus to combat severe jet lag when the necessity arises - they wake me up, so i am active when i am supposed to be, so i get myself tired and then in the evening i can fall asleep more easily than if i spent the whole day trying to keep my eyes open! . so i think it is equally good for shiftworkers or the situation u described)\n\nBUT: dont take it before u go to sleep, it is imperative thet u sleep well since u dont have much time for that...


Very stubborn, very painful, and I can't see the hair at all. This hurts! Thanks for answering, it's very much appreciated.

If isn't visible maybe is a hair infection. Use shaving soap(cream) for washing. And antihemorrhoidal cream, it contains antibiotics and hydrocortizon too.


Even though you mentioned UK outlets, have you tried this store in Brazil? 5 of his movies are listed on this site.


my cousin heard they were a gay band and that would suck!!!!!

No, they are not gay.  They are one of the best bands out there today. Two of the members are married...to women.


I lost my husband due to cancer 8 years ago.\nI am engaged and have been for 6 years. In that 6 years I have never called my fiance' by my husband's name.\nI have now done it 5 times in the last 4 days. Any ideas wWhy and how to stop it?

If your fiance loves you, then he will understand. You lost the man that you vowed to love forever, this just proves it.\nIt shows that you're comfortable with your fiance, as you call him by the name of your true love.\nI'm a man & would not be offended by it. Relax.


tomorrow is my only day off this week and i don't really want to spend it babysitting her children for her.  I don't have the best relationship with her in the first place.  And when I tell her "NO" to something she questions my decision.  I'm tired of coming up with excuses so my sister can go out and have fun.  How can I politely but firmly say no...with no room for her to quilt me into doing this for her?

I think there is no a polite way to say it, if she always question your decisions, she will anyway. Just be honest with her, tell her it is your only night off and you can not spend it bay sitting for her. If she question you just say: that is the only reason, I am sorry but I need this time for my self...(it is just an idea) otherwise ask her to pay you as any other regular nanny. She will probably get mad but this she is crossing your own boundaries. It might be difficult but she have to understand you.

To be quite honest, I think I put in everything I needed to know in the summary. Please help A.S.A.P! :)

ummmm..... I think you may be confused....  The Church of England is an establishment (like the Catholic Church, for example), not a building.  So you can't really tear something down from the top of it if it's not a physical structure....   Also, the English Civil War started in 1642, not 1648.  It ended in 1648

I think I'm a genius based on my acute sensory perception

A genius is a person with distinguished mental prowess. \n\nThis can manifest either as a foremost intellect, or as an outstanding creative talent. \n\nThe IQ of a genius is usually defined as 140 or more. The term also applies to one who is skilled in many mental areas. \n\nThe term specifically applies to mental rather than athletic skills, although it is also colloquially used to denote the possession of a superior talent in any field; e.g., Pelé may be said to have a genius for football or Gandhi for diplomacy.

We're married and I've been getting 'reports' back saying he probably wants a divorce. I ask him and he says he doesn't.  What in the h*ll is on his mind?  I've asked him and I didn't get an answer.

reports ??? as in other people coming back and saying this to you ??  hmmmmmm.....  well if he is telling other people this....  something is definitely going on ... ask him if he is happy/ unhappy  etc... in the relationship and if so why.. and  if he wants to work on it... if he still wont answer you/ talk about it, brace yourself... he may be planning a surprise...and may have already made up his mind to leave  and is just waiting for the right time.. IE...like when he has enough money put aside etc..and you could come home from work one day to find him gone...   so prepare yourself in the meantime financially as well  and consult a lawyer  without telling him, to find out the best way to protect your interests just in case.. its much better to be prepared  for the possibility than be caught by surprise ! best wishes !

A year and half back i quit smoking but after quitting, i gained 14 kilos within 7 months which forced me to restart it. Plz note its been 11 years i have been smoking.  I want to quit again, but m afriad of weight gain. Please give all suitable advices to avoid weight gain!

Quitting smoking does slow your metabolism.  It's also a mental thing.  You keep yourself occupied by eating so you won't obey the crave to smoke.  Think about this heath benefits though... Charred lungs, or a larger waistline.  You choose.  \n\nI gained 35 lbs. when I quit, after 11 years of smoking.  But I began to walk and excercise and I lost it all.  \n\nGo for it.  Walk over to that garbage can and throw those things out!  You did it before and you can do it again!  The longer you wait, the slower your metabolism is.  (the older you get)\n\nDiet and excercise is the best way to boost the metabolism.

i need the exact procedure to get that from leaves.

one way, which you can practive at home, but takes a very long time... dry the leaf.  get pure alcohol, something you can take internally, not isopropyl or rubbing.  soak the leaves in the alcohol for a long time (weeks-2), the longer the better.  the alcohol extracts the medicinal properties from the plant.  now you have a tincture.  30 drops when done properly is an alternative medicine industry standard.


What is the point of this behaviour?  What are the pros and cons of the publishers doing this? How long and why have they been doing this?

Hardcover books cost more money, so they make more money. And then when the book dies down in noteriety, they put it out on paperback for a wider range of consumers to purchase.\n\nit's all about the $$$$$.


Just before their baby was born, a friend's fiance' broke their engagement and after the birth denied him most visitation rights.  He is a good and loving father and has been fighting in court to get more time with his son.  However, the court seems weighted toward favoring the mother without hearing his side and his lawyer has been ineffective. The battle has cost $20,000 so far and is escalating.  At the current rate, he will be broke with no visitation increase in sight.  Does anyone know his rights or what he can do to see his son more often without going broke in the process?

All he can do is continue to fight, the weight of the continued fighting shows with the courts and eventually, I know it seems like forever right now, they will see the light and he will get increased visitation.  This also has to do with the child's age as well.  As he gets older he will get more time with dad, without a doubt.


i need to get a good summary of the last scene, you know, the one wher everyone dies. Please help me!

Romeo and Juliet is a great love story. Basically they fall in love, but their families forbid them to marry because they're from too very different families. They go through alot of triumps to get together, but in the end she thinks he was poisoned and then she satbs herself in the gut.....but he wasn't dead and then I believe he kills himself after he notices she is dead. If you want a more detailed version I would google it....and see what you find.\n\nps. If you have time rent the movie Romeo and Juliett with Leonardo dicaprio and Claire Danes...good movie!!

I did an experience where you are sliding a shoe on a piece of wood... I was wondering what's the difference between the two energies

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses as a result of its motion. In simple cases, it can be expressed mathematically as half an object's mass multiplied by its speed squared.\n\nThe etymology of kinetic energy is the Greek word for motion kinesis and the Greek word for active work energeia. Therefore the term 'kinetic energy' means through motion do active work. The terms kinetic energy and work and their present scientific meanings date back to the mid 19th century. Early understandings of these ideas can be attributed to Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis who in 1829 published the paper titled Du Calcul de l'effet des machines outlining the mathematics of kinetic energy.\n\nIt is formally defined as work needed to accelerate a body from rest to a speed v. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest from that speed.\n\n\nPotential energy is stored energy. The energy is stored by doing work against a force such as gravity, a spring in a clockwork motor, or even an electromagnetic field.

Any language such as spanish, arabic, english, chinese, etc.

It really depends how you are learning it.\nIf you are just having one two-hour lesson a week then it's going to take a very long time to get anywhere near conversationally fluent in that language. You'll pick up the basics in a year or two this way, but only the basics.\nHowever, if you are emersed in that language, by going to a full time language school, or living in a country where that language is spoken, you should get a good grasp of the language in a year, and be pretty well fluent within 3 to 5 years.


Accourding to the conservation of energy principle matter can't just pop into and out of existence, so they must mean (I hope) that it it moves into and out of our range of observation.  Why wouldn't they say that so as to produce less skeptics of science, or do they really mean that things just enter and leave existence?

They don't really pop in and out on their own; they are particle-antiparticle pairs that annihilate each other. Conservation of energy is not violated by these interactions. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_foam and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy .


you must post complete proofs about your answer.

"Asian politics" is a broad spectrum, considering the various form's of governments that includes, but overall the net trend has been conservative. For example, China has dabbled in free markets on a very limited basis, which may on the surface appear progressive, but it has made no corresponding changed in human rights's or individual freedoms. Japan has been in a nearly ten year long recession, and has made no new economic policies to work it's way out. Taiwan is still quasi-independent, quasi-rebel china province, no progressive change there for 50 years. Vietnam is still a communist country, with very moderate economic reforms but little change elsewhere.  well, we could go on, but you see my point. There has been little change, other then economic expansion, but not nearly enough to be considered progressive. Quite the opposite, most nations roll at a snails pace, and would probably be considered very conservative.

That's hilarious! Nerves can be really overwhelming at times.  They can cause your stomach to do cartwheels, the sweats, all sorts of things.  I think many men (in particular), think they will just show up and say their I Dos.  Then a couple of days before, they are rehearsing for things, having dinners, making toasts, then the final day arrives and it's an overwhelming amount of emotion plus all of the hype.  I'm making myself a bit nauseous just thinking about it!\nThanks for the clip!


Why is it that when you sneeze, its always more than once, usually twice? I guess theres probably a scientific reason, but I just wondered what it is?

you sneeze once and you rub your nose and it might tickle your nose so you sneeze!

he's a good person and i really do think he's worth waiting for but everyone eles thinks that i should move on because alot of other boys are out their, what should i do?

Babydoll, I don't know your jailbird, so I can't make any comment about whether or not he'd be worth waiting for, but I can tell you this, with absolute certainty: Loving an inmate is a VERY HARD ROAD....it's about slogging through endless paperwork, it's trying to keep up with rules that seem to change every week, it's waiting for incredibly expensive collect phone calls that might or might not come and when he doesn't call, praying with all your heart that the phones in the day room are just either too busy or broken and that he's not hurt or on lockdown, it's becoming obsessive about checking your mail and the heartsick feeling that comes over you when the letter you want so badly isn't there,it's about getting writers cramp and spending $20 a week on stamps and stationary, it's about dealing with either keeping it secret or dealing with disapproval of the relationship everywhere you turn and mostly it means living in a future you can't be sure of and that really does take a toll.\nIf I had a choice, I wouldn't do it, but I've loved the guy for over 20 years and I can't quit now...and I'm almost 40, so it's not as if I'm spending my youth dealing with the Dept.of Corrections...think carefully, Sweetie, it is a hard, hard thing to do and no guarantees


Iam kind of fat but not that fat, acctuallly I mean I am chubby but I want to get skinny but I cant control my salf eating so please kindly give me some ideas. what should I od?

It's all in your head, if you think you look good, and tell yourself you are a hotty, you start to act like one, which in turn gives you more self esteem to be more active, therefor losing weight. Studies actually confirm this!! How you feel, depressed, happy, etc, actually releases a "chemical" in your brain-which is how they come up with all these meds for depression and all that-to control the release of these chemicals. You're a hotty!! And you Know It!!


who really looks like their avatar picture on this site? anyone wish they did look like their avatar?  ha ha

Actually I sort of look like it. Sort of.


This stemmed from discussing the fairness of road-usage charging. I concluded that the fairest way to tax road users is purely through fuel tax, thus proportionally taxing usage and pollution.\n\nThis led me to speculate about running an entire tax system the same way. I.e. the only taxes collected are indirect (purchase) taxes, like VAT. This would tax people based on lifestyle (and therefore indirectly on income), incentivise saving, and, IMO, be reasonably fair.\n\nMain issues so far:\nThe tax rates would have to be very high to cover existing tax yield. I've not done the maths yet, but I suggest tailoring tax levels on different items, with luxuries attracting the highest rates.\n\nYou have to tax money leaving the country in order to prevent massive avoidance.\n\nLoan relationships pose a dilemma.\n\nFinally, it can only ever be hypothetical because, if you suddenly changed to this from the existing tax system, the economy would instantly implode due to the sudden upheaval! Shame.

Try the Fair Tax.  Eliminate all taxes and enact a sales tax.


Okay, I'm asking this because I love the song of the same name ("Are 'Friends' Electric?" by Gary Numan) and somehow managed to leave it off the list I compiled for Zen ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aue67Kbn6tzjijwPEvzazqnsy6IX?qid=1006032014570 ).

I use SBC Yahoo! DSL. There is a host computer in the next room. I have a wireless modem. The internet used to work on my computer, but now it doesn't. Back when I had Windows '98 it would work perfectly. I downloaded xp and now it won't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the hardware, service, and program for wireless router. There is a driver for the hardware for xp but it still won't work. Also, networking between host computer and other computers using the internet will not work. I can't figure it out. I will add information if it is needed. Help?

I am joining our school's crew team this fall. Since I am pretty short and have short legs I am planning to be a coxswain. So, advice would be much appreciated.

Push ur teamates to perform without being obnoxious first of all.  A lot of rowers get resentful since coxswains dont usually do the workouts.  if u really want ur rowers to respect u, do their workouts with them.\n\nSecondly, steer the boat straight.  I know this sounds obvious, and I know its not that easy, but it a coxswain's most important job, in fact the reason they are there, so doing it well is a big plus.\n\nThird, no matter how long you cox for, you will not understand the technique involved in a rower's stroke.  The coaches do, and give tips to the rowers on how to improve it.  This is not your job though.\n\nFinally, just make sure you have a good time with your rowers.  In my experience the fastest boats are ones filled with respect, admiration and friendship, not just muscle.  Rowing can really be a great sport, I hope you have a great time!

My girlfriend has been dealing with a chronic discharge problem.  I noticed last night when she crawled into bed that she was oozing more cheese than an overcooked Chalupa.  \n\nAside from carrying spatula and a case of Massengill with her, is there a more efficient way to address this problem that doesn't involve a physician?

No, if shes tried to use OTC yeast infection medications and they arnt working, moer then likely she needs to go to the doctor, keep in mind that the medicine does seep out after its disolved, making more discharge... My OBGYN did tell me one time that if i had a onset of a infection i could use medicated douche, and that can fix the problem, I dont know what kind of infection she has but she could definitally try, the medicated douche just has iodine packets you add to the prepackaged vinegar water, and waaala, its worked for me, but other then that, i would definitally go to the doc if it didnt work, the discharge could be a sign of something more serious going on, like a STD or a differnt kind of infection... Good luck

First of all i want to thank all who did support the march this sat. IT WAS A SUCCESS!\nand for those ignorants who believe that we should just get a job and quit living of your taxes.. ha ha honey please educate yourself!!  Immigrants aren't living off your taxes but rather working hard to earn the exalt life that they deserve.. Im am almost positive that your parents and if not your ancestors were at one point immigrants..So what your going to tell me that they werent living of other peoples taxes ha ha..it is only odvious that you aren't any better than any of the immigrants that live here..And how about you go back to your country..and learn some history while your at it..since this country belongs to what you so call "immigrants" - this land originally belonged to Mexico..and your ancestors migrated here..ha ha so i guess that makes you the immigrant right.. \n..And to the person who wasn't even aware of this March how about leaving LA-LA land and getting in tune with the News.. LIKE I SAID BEFORE EDUCATE YOURSELF..

Whenever I open a new window, my browser opens in a size that is too small.  So every time, I have to resize the window.  How can I change it so that it will open a new window either maximized or at least a larger size?

It is very simple. Open one explorer window and open one link in new window (that should open with small size as you told). Resize that new window to your intended size. Now, close all explorer windows and again open explorer window, this you will get size of window of size that was previously set.


Pre-teens didn't 'exist' until the 2000s. So um, who decided 9-13 year olds were pre-teens or tweens.

i think they probably "existed" before the 2000s. the name was just not as popular.

I was just curious to find some intelligent answers as to why some people  find it necessary to be obnoxious, inane and sometimes cruel when answering peoples honest and sometimes heartfelt questions??

I have been wondering the same thing. I am appalled at the rudeness, cruel and obnoxious answers. I feel if the answer can't give some constructive answer or be kind, then they should just skip the question. Some of the questions are asked by younger people who truly don't know some very simple things. Also, there are many people from foreign countries who do not have a full command of the English lanquage...just like i don't have full command of their lanquage. I almost stopped posting one day for so many answers I saw were rude and I thought,\nI don't want to be a part of this type of behavior for I found it to be such a "downer" for our human race. I will promise you this, I will never intentionally be obnoxious, rude or cruel on this site or anywhere else for that matter.

After weeks of fighting, my ex-boyfriend of 4 years told me that we should just end it, because "I can't make you happy and nothing I do seems to be good enough!!" I was totally heartbroken because I couldn't believe he was giving up on us, specially since he was always the one insisting we are gonna be together forever!! anyways I got over it, but now a couple of months later he keeps calling and wants me back. I'm confused!!!!

My advice is don't pick up the phone when it's him calling.  He wants you back because he's lonely and he hasn't found anyone else yet.  It's hard to be lonely, I'm sure you felt like you wanted to get back with him when you first broke up, but if you are really over him and don't want to endure more weeks of fighting, just don't pick up the phone, so you can let go and so can he.

This is a serious question! It happend to a friend of mine.

I would buy more food. I am not that hungry that I would eat sand.\nAnd why would somebody come in your house and steal your food and nothing else?


i keep getting asked out by guys that are definitely dateable, but i always back out because i am so inexperienced. I would be humiliated if i "wasn't good" or he thought i was too prude because im not comfortable. how do guys feel about inexperienced girls?

A guy that I had my "first" with, was definitely more experienced with "those areas." He taught me all that I know. I "met" up with him a couple of years ago, and let say, I know more. \n\nBottom line: if he is in to you, he will understand and "work" with you.

I'm thinking of joining Nikken because of an amazing experince my husband had with it.  Does anyone have any comments about the positive/negative aspects of the products and the business?


hi, im in my 1st year of high school and im trying out for the tennis team. im ok at tennis but its obvious I should be in varsity I think so and all the seniors I know from the team say I should make it for sure. I haven’t done to good when the coach is watching tho and im pretty sure but how I’ve done in practice will not get me on varsity. I usually play a lot better. Tryouts are next week too. Is there anyway I could get any advantage over everyone else? Like what should I do before a match, like a few days before? How to get more relaxed since I get nervous when coach is watching. Anything that would help would be nice thanks

First, forget about it being "obvious" that you should be on the varsity. If it was obvious, the coach would "obviously" see that.\nSecond, it's essential to learn to play under pressure. In high school matches, you definitely will play under much pressure, and it's not much different than the pressure you feel when you think the coach is watching you. In either case, if you let your mind focus on who's watching rather than on your game, you will play worse.\nAs for relaxing, even the best players in the world get nervous--that just means that you care. So learn to cope with the tension by using your mind to focus on what you need to do. An example is Sharapova, who systematically turns around, stares at her strings, and decides what to do for the next point. Also learn some simple relaxation techniques, such as breathing slowly from the diaphragm or relaxing your shoulders and arms--whatever gets most tight.\nAbove all, don't put yourself in the position of thinking you "have to" do well to impress the coach. This will make you tighten up and do worse. Just remind yourself to stay focused and relaxed, and let the rest take care of itself.


Has this Administration put us into a real catch 22 or is this just Hype from the Left.Now that Iraq is into a real Civil War and Iran is acting up what can we do ,we are spreading our military to thin .Should the draft come back? Will the Europens get into it if the US decides to? Whats Next ? What Do You Think ?

Having a draft has always been the Bush's backup plan. People, the adults mind you, know that it is the draft question that is the only real thing that is keeping any terrorist from attacting America. John Kerry said all of this openly. All of the spying bills and selling ports, are Republican money making scams. The telphone and communication monopolies are reassembling as a result of the spying bill. It's a lobbying criteria, that the companies used to ellect the Bush administration in the first place. Don't be stupid, the oil companies have made record profits in one year, even with all the hurricane damage. They said that the oil conpanies have shown a larger profit than a whole country would get from taxation. So figure that out, double taxes, thats not to hard to figure. The Bush administration doesn't really care about Americans, they are all lining their pockets. It is an Incumbent President that knows he can't run another term. This mistake has been done repeatedly with Regan, Nixon, Ford, Bush senior, these are all the inflation years. Republican policy has always been starve them they will work harder. There is no trickle down policy with Republicans. The draft is the only real threat we have to protect ourselves, and that has always been in place regardless of any Administration that is in office. Bush (OBVIOUSLY) depleated our resources with our military, as republican statagy. Republicans don't want to run another term, and if the Democrats or Independents become the new Administration next term they will just inherit these problems. It's all a game of Risk, and the American people are the ones that suffer, and have to pay for everything, Globally. The draft is the only threat America has left, our military is the only thing we have to stay on top; becaouse we don't have any industry, its all been outsourced to China and India and Mexico. I am a retired Navy, I wont say my rank, that will make you more upset. The ports are being sold to OPEC, "DUH" I am really thinking about moving to Aulstralia, believe it or not it's safer there than it is in American right now. No one is to blame but the current Administration, and it was there stratagy all the time, and it wasn't for peoples welfare, it's for power of money. The ones holding the cash believe they should call all the shots at your expense. Incited Fear was the basis for George Bush's Presidential Plan. You voted for him.


I'm so tierd of every thing i can't carry on any more it's just awful I can't see why people keep gossiping about me I can't stand being this lonley being an iranian living on this damn cursed world it's just a big big hell i've even thought of killing my self but I think i've got a lot to do here what could I do? and i don't like consulors!

Get busy girlfriend!!!  I am talking get involved in anything. Turn your negative energy to positive.  Suicide is not the answer.  You were put here for a reason.  Without you, your task cannot be completed and that could involve affecting a lot of people you have not even met yet.  Counseling should be an option if you are really serious about wanting help.  I have lost family to suicide and its so painful for the ones you leave behind.  I can't help my brother who left this world in 2001, but if I had a second chance this is what I would tell him.  "I know it seems you were dealt a bad hand in life.  But "we" can get threw this, together.  Let me help you, you are not alone.  I know you think leaving this world is the answer and the people around you would be better off.  That is so far from how it is.  You have a very important role here and you can't leave yet.  We love you and care about you more than we tell you and for that we are wrong.  Leaving is only permitting the ones you love to cop out when things get bad with them.  Please don't leave that message for your family or friends.  Lean on me and never, ever give up."


this relates to how they interact with their minor children

It's a parent who "hovers" over his/her children


Sometimes I want to send it to someone who hates forwarded mail, like my brother, but it's a cute joke. Can I take those off some how?

If you are forwarding your emails as text, you should be able to just go in and delete all the headers for people it's been sent to before. You can't edit it until you click on Forward though. You could always copy/paste as stated above, but that seems like more work to me. That is what you will have to do if you are forwarding the emails in attachment form. I always use the BCC function when forwarding email because it will not show the email addresses it was forwarded to for the next person, which keeps email address private and cuts down on forwarding info.

And yet, our government had to place an ankle bracelet and enforce house arrest on people like Martha Stewart. Why don't they make examples out of the crud like child molesters and abusers?

There is some monitoring in most states for sex offenders. I have listed a website that is worth looking at. You type in your address and it shows you where the listed sex offenders are. It gives you pictures of the offender and information about the type of crime. You should check it out.\n\nI do agree that something more should be done about this!


John 20:14-16\n\nDo you think it had anything to do with His beard?

Three reasons.  First the Bible alludes to Him being glorified in some sense after the resurrection.  This could mean that His appearance was somewhat different than before.  Second, the Bible also says that Jesus had been beaten nearly beyond recognition (ever seen the Passion?) perhaps after three days He was either so black and blue He was unrecognizable, or... He was completely healed and Mary was expecting Him to look far worse.  Third, she was most likely crying, the tears in her eyes blurred her vision (this is a weak answer I know, but hey when added to the first two you never know).


5 facts of what\n you should not do at the beach?

in complex number system of graph which is the real axis and imaginary axis?\n2-i\n---    represent as a+ib form?\n3+i

To simplify (2-i)/(3+i), you multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator.\nThe denominator is 3+i.  The conjugate of a complex number just involves changing the sign in front of the i term. \nThe conjugate of 3+i is 3-i  (+ changes to -)\nThus,\n(2-i)/(3+i)\n= [(2-i)(3-i)]/[(3+i)(3-i)]\nFoil the top and bottom\n(6-2i-3i+i^2)/(9-i+i-i^2)  Combine like terms\n= (6-5i+i^2)/(9-i^2)  Substitute -1 for i^2 since i^2=-1\n= (6-5i+(-1))/(9-(-1))  Combine like terms\n=(5-5i)/10  Separate into two fractions and reduce.\n(5/10) - (5i/10)\n= (1/2) - (i/2)\nFor the graph, the real axis is the x-axis and the imaginary axis is the y-axis.


i just saw The Matrix Triology again! for some reason and watchin this movie once again, i kinda think that we do live in a dream like state and that we only see what we are shown. we can only see 3 dimensions (the x dimension, the y dimension and the z dimension) but i believe that there should be atleast 7 dimensions. like we have the seven colors of light, or the seven notes of sound, or seven days of the week, the seven oceans, the seven populated continents, the seven planets (since pluto is controversal now and mercury is too hot), and so i think our mind is not yet able to see all the dimensions except for three! what do ya'll think about this?

Travel the oceans and the seven seas.\n\nAncient Seven Seas            Modern Seven Oceans\n                            \n1. Mediterranean              1. North Atlantic\n2. Black                      2. South Atlantic\n3. Red                        3. North Pacific\n4. Persian                    4. South Pacific\n5. Caspian                    5. Indian \n6. Arabian                    6. Arctic\n7. Atlantic                   7. Antarctic\n                  I think.\n\nThere are seven notes, do is just an octaval repeat of do.\nAntarctica is not poulated in the normal sense of the word.\nSo just continents.\nAnd those are not the right seven planets. I guess you could just not count Earth but these are the ancient seven planets\n\n1. Moon       Silver   Ag       All the metals known in \n2. Mercury    Mercury  Hg       ancient times had a planet.\n3. Venus      Copper  Cu       The others couldn't be seen.\n4. Sun        Gold   Au\n5. Mars       Iron   Fe\n6. Jupiter    Tin    Sn\n7. Saturn     Lead   Pb\n\nThere are just so many groups of sevens in the world.\n\nHowever I don't think this has anything to do with a matrix.\nIt's just a nice sized odd number for things. Nit too many,not too full. Oh and the most number of things that you can have in your mind at once. VERY IMPORTANT.


I am a proffessional who is looking to go and start contracting on an independent basis. I was employed until now and was payed a fixed salary annually.\n\nMy question is abt 1099 vs W2. Though i understand the basic diffefrence between them how do i compare a job paying me $50/hr on a W2 vs a job paying $50/hr on a 1099. \n\nKeeping other considerations aside such as contribution to 401(k), employee/contractor status, medical/dental insurance etc. , which of the 2 is a a more lucrative contract to take up. \n\n<SIDETRACK> PS: Can anybody point me to a website/blog/url that can help me in understanding the market rates for a project manager in the it field.

Keep in mind - as a contracter who is receiving a 1099, that 50/hr is much less.  One of the biggest reasons is that you have to cover your entire Social Security and Medicare taxes.  Normally as an employee receiving a W2, you and your employer split the cost of those taxes down the middle with each paying 6.2 % for Social Security and 1.45 for Medicare. Now that you are self-employed contracter you must pay the whole thing - 12.4 and 2.9 respectively.  \nAlso you must foot the bill for your own medical insurance, etc... often times employees are unaware that their employer subsizes up to 90 percent of these costs as well.


I have two different prescriptions for each eye, and my eye doc. said one of my eyes has gotten lazy because it depends on the other eye. I have been wearing glasses for about two years and it seems now with my new contacts my left eye ( the lazy one) hurts and feels like it is straining. Is this because the contacts are new and may be a different prescription. Should I go back to the doc or just keep wearing them hoping they will get better. I know when I first started wearing glasses my eyes kinda hurt.

No, they arent suppose to hurt. The first couple of days when you put them in it might feel like you have a eyelash in your eye. if they hurt ever take them out right away and contact your doctor.\n\nDont worry hunny you will be fine!


doing a project in gr 6 level to gr 8 level

Sinkholes, also known as sinks, dolines (in the Slovene language doline means valleys), and cenotes, are formed by the collapse of cave roofs and are a feature of landscapes that are based on limestone bedrock. The result is a depression in the surface topography. This may range anywhere from a small, gentle earth-lined depression, to a large, cliff-lined chasm. Most often there is a small area of rock exposure near or at the bottom of a sinkhole, and a patent opening into the cave below may or may not be visible. In the case of exceptionally large sinkholes, such as Cedar Sink at Mammoth Cave National Park, there may actually be a stream or river flowing into the bottom of the sink from one side and out the other side.\n\nSinkholes often form in low areas where they form drainage outlets for an closed local surface drainage basin. They may also form in currently high and dry locations. Florida has been known for having frequent sinkholes, especially in the central part of the state.\n\nSinkholes are usually but not always linked with a karst landscape. Karst represents a set of surface features that are characteristic of limestone under the soil. In many such regions, there may be hundreds or even thousands of sinkholes in a small area so that the surface as seen from the air looks pock-marked. Often in such areas there are few or no flowing streams on the surface because the drainage is all sub-surface.\n\nSinkholes have for centuries been used as disposal sites for various forms of waste. An unfortunate consequence has been the pollution of groundwater resources, with serious health implications in such areas.\n\nSinkholes also form from human activity, such as the rare but still occasional collapse of abandoned mines in places like West Virginia. More commonly, sinkholes occur in urban areas due to water main breaks or sewer collapses when old pipes give way. They can also occur from the overpumping and extraction of groundwater and subsurface fluids.\n\nNatural sinkholes can be very deep, offering extremely challenging conditions for adventurous and experienced divers. Two of the most spectacular are the Zacaton cenote in Mexico and the Boesmansgat sinkhole in South Africa.

if u like bush don't answer this question cause know one cares what u have to say!!!\nstill if u do not agree with me i don't care.

I was just hired(so I thought),onto a job through a staffing agency,the pay was great however the employees were like jealous or something,I came in to that job APPRECIATIVE!!Being that I've been unemployed for way to long,not by choice mind you.I don't have any kids or anything not even a bank account it's been real rocky for me my whole life and the only thing I need is an opportunity for me to show my WORK EXPERIENCE!I'm really not a talker I DO RESPECT EVERYONE NO MATTER GENDER OR CREED.But I do LIKE to work(sounds crazy right?)however the people always end up taking me the wrong way.Judging me because I;m not smiling all the time. I can do the work assigned to me in very orderly fashion.It's like the Willie Lynch Syndrome in the warehouse industry.I was just let go of because of that.I really just want to work!!

Check out Summit Electric Supply in North Dallas (near Harry Hines, I believe), or in Ft. Worth.  I haven't been to these locations but in my location there are a lot of quiet people working.  The normal progression is warehouse to counter sales to inside sales (it's a distributor), though, so you should pretend to be interested in sales or warehouse operations, whichever offers the better opportunities.  If you jump and show initiative I think that would be more important than being buddies with everybody.\n\nGood luck.


Husband's child support went up an outrageous amount that he cannot afford. The hearing date was 12/20/05 & the judge did not make the ruling until 2/10/06. In btwn that time it is obvious that he forgot telling every1 that the income obviously hadn't tripled & he would have 2 be the one 2 set the amt instead of her lawyer. After ruling, we filed 4 modification 2 decrease because we are struggling. Also filed rule 2 show cause on medical bills that she has not paid her half on & medical information that she is intentionally withholding from my husband. We petitioned for more "permenant" visitation time because she is denying him custodial time which we have documented & sent in 2 the court.  It has been over 2 months since the papers were filed. I have checked with the clerk numerous times & she tells me that the judge will decide if he WANTS to hear it.  Today the clerk finally told me that the judge will most likely NEVER set them for hearing because my husband is acting Pro Se. Isn't this discrimination against my husband because he representing himself?  Does he not have the right to do so?  We absolutely CANNOT afford a lawyer.  It is not an option AND my husband has done very well representing himself thusfar.

No, \n\nwas it a documented court order? \n\nIf not, realize talk at court means little to nothing, its all in the paperwork. \n\nIf so, this so-called judge is a nut-case (like most).\n\nTry Yahoo searching "outlaws legal service" (outlaw meaning someone denied equal protection under the so-called law, not criminals) You'll learn what these crooks in disguise are actually doing.

I'm the moderator of the full_time_online group. I no longer have the email I used when I started the group. I have been trying to get Yahoo to respond to the problem for months with no success. They keep telling me the email is bouncing. But the email does not exist any longer. I added a new email address to my Yahoo account but still can't post.

Check in the "Edit Membership" page whether the new email address you have added has been verified. If not, click on the  verify link against this email address and that might solve the problem. Or else, check the group settings to see who all can post.


The Treasurer said he knew nothing about the Loans. Did he mean that the money was assumed to be a Gift, or that he was unaware of the existence of the money? If the latter, how did he think the Labour Party was being funded? The Treasurer was previously a Trade Union official, rather than an Accountant. It just goes to show that leaving finances to inappropriately educated individuals, just as a reward for loyalty, is a shortsighted and risky decision.

I totally agree with you it does not make sense to me either. I can only assume he was more of a figure-head than a real treasurer. Although there were some reports that he was sick and in hospital for a time. Even then there should have been a deputy to brief him, so this should not be an excuse for not being fully informed when he got back into his job. Unless of course he was sidelined by other executives who knew he did not do the job properly!


How many ATPs produced in presence and absence of oxygen from 4 molecules of glucose and 1 molecule of an 18 carbon fatty acid?

Depends on the type of organism.  In the absence of O2, each molecule of glucose makes 2 ATPs.  With oxygen, its around 30 per molecule of glucose.  I have no idea what the fatty acid is for, although it may be possible that the 18C acid can be broken down into 3 more molecules of glucose
