If so, what are some sites. I doubt they exist but I just thought I'd ask. If there aren't any, what's the cheapest you know of?

1. If it is copyrighted, it won't be free.\n2. The military bands will let you download free concert music (classical).\n3. www.allofmp3.com sells music by the megabyte, and it costs usually 5-15 cents for an average song, depending on the quality you want.  The downside is you have to pay ahead in $10 increments, but I don't mind that, because I spend it.  The upside is that you can hear samples without even signing up, so there is no tricks here--nothing hidden.  The choices are good.  The downloads are mp3, so you don't need a special player to burn them on CD or listen to them.\n4. I heard Yahoo Music has unlimited downloads for five bucks a month, but I don't know the catch of if there is a catch.


Example: Tree branches of a fruit tree are in your yard, but the most of the tree is in your neighbor's yard(neighbor owns the tree). Is it illegal in Califronia to pick the fruit on the branches or does the fruit have to fall into your yard?

No, unless you are in California and your neighbour is in Mexico.


I am 13 5' 3'' and I weigh 125lbs. I think my BMI is like 22.1 . Am I fat? Be honest. Most of my friends weigh like 105 lbs and they think they are fat

You're not fat. That's pretty normal. You must also take into account your frame, and how much you exercise. I think most teen girls think they're fat. It's not the case. \n\n\nThe best way to lose weight is simply to elevate your heart rate at least 30 minutes a day. You dont even have to exercise for a long time. You dont have to job, jump, or do stairs. Just do anything that raises your heart rate pretty high for a few minutes, and your heart will continue to pump fast and burn calories. Instead of eating a few big meals a day, eat many small meals.\nI made a site to check BMI and calories burned per day. It's not all that great but I spent a lot of time adding quality links to the further links section.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php


we bought a home it is under my name and his name, we are not married been togeather 20 years and its over , bought the home 6 years ago .. now im leaving what do I do or can I do?

If you are both on the title and the note, then you are either going to have to do one of these things. \n\nIf one person wants the house and the other person does not care about the equity in it, then the person who is giving up the house needs to sign a quit claim deed with a title company, and then the person who wants the house has to refinance it to get the other person off the note. The lenders will not just let one person take over the whole note because most loans are not assumable, and you were probably qualified by using both of your incomes and credit. \n\nIf one Person wants the house and the other does not, but the person not wanting the house wants their equity out of it, then the person wanting the house needs to buy out the other person. You would do the same thing as I mentioned before, except you would take the appraised value of the house now, subtract what is owed on the home, and divide by two to determine each persons equity. Then the person being bought out has the option of taking their equity out of the cash back from the refinance, or they can attach a lein on the house for the amount of equity they are owed. If they attach a lein, then before the house can be sold, or refinanced again the lein has to be satisfied. The problem with doing a lein is that if the property goes down in value, or gets foreclosed upon, your priority is second, and you might not ever get your money.


On Yahoo Answers I can imagine, for points -but generally.

my opinion only worth 2 cents per thought so.. i don't mind.


When she tries to use Yahoo messenger her computer says she cannot because her proxie settings are wrong. Is there a way to correct this so she can use Messenger. Her computer is a Dell.Please help!!

Most likely the reason is that she is behind a firewall, probably at work, if she can look at her Internet Explorer Proxy settings she may be able to plug that info in Yahoo proxy settings and successfully use messenger.\n\nBut if she cannot see her proxy settings that also maybe a policy applied via the work servers.  \n\nBe nice to one of your support technicians and ask them if its possible to do as there are various solutions just different depending on her senario.\n\nGood luck,


heres mine. your mama so fat she jumped into the air and got stuck!!

Yo' mama like a Big Mac -- full of fat and only worth a buck!\n\nYo Mama is like a bus, she's big she doesn't smell very good and it's only a dollar to ride.\n\nYo mama's so dumb, she stuck the phone up her ass and thought she was makin' a booty call.\n\nYo Mama is so fat, when she told me her weight I thought it was her phone number.


i need some stocks that can be pretty "jumpy" in the next 2 months.

Look for stocks with a BETA of 2 - 3.  That means if the S & P 500 goes up 5 percent this next few months, a stock with a Beta of 2 should go up 10 percent and a Beta of 3 should go up 15 percent.  Be careful though, if the market goes down 5 percent your stock should go down by the same 10 and 15 percent repectivley.


who is your Favorite classical artist?.. i just know two which are (Beethoven and Mozart).. is there any other classical artist  you would recommend?\nThank you, and Have a great day

my penis size iz 4.5" i ask to many peoples that is it normal size or not  most of them answer me that size does not matters only the way how u use it matters so plz temme the right way to use it so that i can enjoy much much more n also ma girlfrnd enjoy more then me

Well, size does matter but it's not the only thing that matters in sex. The first rule of great sex is foreplay. Play with your girlfriends breast, kiss her body, rub your hands on her body. The point of foreplay is to arouse the senses and get them excited. Try different things and experiment. The second rule of great sex is motion. Instead of the boring in and out try moving your hips in a circular motion. Also it's important to keep a nice steady rythym, not to slow but especially not to fast. The third rule of great sex is experiment. Try different things like games, toys, food, and even other partners(if your in that sort of thing).If the only thing you want is for your girlfriend to have an orgasm try fingering her before and after penetration. Make sure your nails are well trimmed. The best way to get your girlfriend off is to rub the G-spot. Simply stick your one or two fingers in her vagina.Then simply make the come here motion with your fingers.

I see the mosques getting blown up and just wonder what do they think that will prove? Violence breeds hatetred.

The Sunnis were in charge for 30+ years living the high life.  They made laws which benifited themselves, and created government sponsored benifits profitting themselves as well.  Now that is gone.  They have to work again without the benifit of government sponsorship.  It is like "It has been this way for over 30+ years, why should I change."  Also, there is a fear of reprisals from other ethnics because of their harsh rule.  Hopefully we can find the middle ground so all can live in peace.


I always wonder since we've already have the Prime Minister to Make the Important Decision, what are Sultans & Agungs for?

The Sultans play more of a "ceremonial" role- Very similary to the Queen of England.  In England, parliment and the Prime Minister make the decions but the Queen and the Royal Family serve as a figure head.

Grito de Dolores: "Long live the Virgin of Guadalupe and death to the Spaniards!"\n\n\nP.S. what does "Grito de Dolores" mean?\n\nThank you!\n\n<this is for my ap world class: we need to do a latin american revolutionary poster... it has to be in spanish. im screw b/c i don't know anything about spanish...>

Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe. Muerte a los Espanollos.\n\nThe 'Grito de Dolores' was shouted (grito=shout/scream/yell) by Father Hidaldo from the balcony of the Mayor's palace in Dolores (now Dolores Hidalgo) on Sept 16, 1810.\n\nFather Hidalgo (a priest, obviously) and Ignacio Allende (a Spanish Army officer, Criollio=born in Mexico) raised an army of Indians in revolt against Spanish rule in Mexico. Father Hidalgo gave a rousing speech called "El Grito de Dolores" and they marched across Mexico killing Spaniards.\nMajor oversimplification. For starters see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grito_de_Dolores\n\nDick


In a interview i have been asked that why do we write testcases for the application? can't wwe test the application wiht out writing testcase? can any body please give me the answer for this question?

If you write the test case, it is a record which can be stored somewhere. It can be reused later in several of the following cases:\n1.) you want to run the same test cases later (u don't need to remember, u can just read the document and execute)\n2.) someone else need to run those tests (he/she does not need to consult you)\n3.) you left the company and the new person who came in your place does not get enough time to take the knowledge transfer from you. (he/she can directly run if you have a good test case document)\n4.) your boss wants to see what you have done. he/she can not read your mind. if the document is there, they can see what you have done.

would u rather have a girl make the first move??\nwould u turn down a girl who liked u if she shared her feelings? or would u like it better tht she were the one to say it first????\nidk if i should tell this kid in 8th grade with me tht i like him...i think he MIGHT like me...but im not sure

well guys at that age are a bit more self conscious, so you should definitly let him know he has a chance. You dont neccessarily have to come out and spill your guts... just a little flirting until your sure hes got the hint. If that doesnt work, just tell him how you feel. The worst that could happen is he says no and you move on.


Neither.  \nThey both are letting their issue get way out of hand, neither one seems to be willing to let it go (forgive, forget and move on), and just skate.


Just say "yes."  The answer is yes.  I don't need anyone ELSE to tell ME what *I* look like, or MY fitness level.\n\nHonestly, I tried and tried to suppress the urge, but I just COULD NOT restrain myself from posting an "Am I fat?" question.

I heard it on the radio this morning while driving from castle rock. The date is February 17, 2006.

Okay, so I have installed my webcam 3 times and still it wont work, every time I try to turn it on it says it can't find my webcam, but it is plugged in and the little green light is on.

I'm a student teacher and I don't want my kids to listen to rap music, but I myself listen to rap music all the time. The main problem is that the kids curse alot and say rude things in the classroom. I work with 12 year olds.

you can tell htem but that will just make them want to listen to it more. so Just try monitoring wat he listens to. and not all rap is bad, some of it is really quite deep and heart felt.


Without trashing Bush and ranting about what he did wrong..I would like to hear what you think should be done in Iraq now and what we should do as a nation to fight terrorism.

Ha they have no plan for fighting terrorism. To them, it seems logical that if they leave terrorists alone, the terrorists will return the favor. Many liberals believe America is at fault for terrorist attacks, that our culture and ways provoked the Muslim extremism. \n\nBut murder and terrorism is never the solution, especially in a country such as this.\n\nTo canukinsocial's statement: that is exceptionally inaccurate. CIA and NSA have intercepted hundreds of threats against the United States, and although they are certainly sometimes a bit slow, that is why they need a larger budget. So that can improve.


I was having an exam for a contact lens fitting, and the dr. said disposable lenses were available for people with severe astigmatism now.  But, he said that 4 "diopeters" were the highest prescription available for disposable.  I have 8 in my right eye, and 6 in my left eye which he said was very bad. He seemed to make a big deal about it. Now, I'm worried. I've always had eye problems, but he made it sound worse than I thought it was. He also said I may have Keratoconis which I know is a corneal eye disease.  Is blindness likely as I grow older.  Please advise

Astigmatism of 6D (diopters - you were close) or greater is considered severe. Did your doctor discuss the rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses with you, as an alternative to the disposables? \n\nYour best course of action is to discuss this with your eye care professional, and determine if you really -do- have keratoconus.  If so, there are many resources for learning about the condition, and keeping informed about available treatments.  You could start at http://www.nkcf.org/ , the National Keratoconus Foundation website.  Read the FAQ's, join a support group.. Hopefully, being more informed will ease your mind a little.


I know a handful of black women have won Winter Olympic medals before, both individual and team.

No, Lasalus Brown won a bobsled silver as the brakeman for Canada 1 on Sunday.


First, Marines are NOT soldiers.  No disrespect intended, but we do not like the term.  Soldiers are in the U.S. Army.  Secondly, when I went to boot camp, nearly 20 years ago, we had extensive training on Marine Corps history.  Smedley Butler was celebrated in song when we marched, ran, or worked out.  I would be surprised if the same is no longer true.\nThank you for honoring a true American hero.

Be careful about getting wallpapers from websites. They often add spyware and other bad stuff to them. The best thing to do is just find pictures you like, right click on them, and set them as your desktop. It's the safest way.

My son is so depressed over his life. He has no job, no money, no drivers licence He was on medicine but can't aford it now with no job. He is 27 and still living at home. He is very smart but has no self esteem.

He could probably qualify for SSI disability.  If this is chronic, and it sounds like it, that may be the best thing for him so he can get medicaid and afford the medication he needs.

explain in what way marriage would be threatened. Keep in mind the separation of church and state

If that's the way you think "arikinder" then do you think they should have left slavery the way it was years ago?  Anyone who wants to get married should be able to.  How does that hurt you?  What about all us straight people getting married just for the hell of it or marrying for money or whatever stupid reasons, and then getting divorced and remarried again.  I mean, if that's legal....\n\nAnd aren't you the one who called liberals stupid?

who thinks that if the US troops could think for themselves without any peer pressure that they would choose to leave the military and return home to the US or stay in Iraq?

It is not peer pressure that makes them go to Iraq. They are ordered to go. If you get ordered to go, you go. This was known to them when they signed up.

I want to know how I can stop working for my money and start having my money work for me. Like saving money and not feeling broke about it...

First, open a savings account and start saving a part of your salary (This is harder than it seems) also start building your credit. (You are going to need good credit to get a loan to start your own small business) If you have credit card debts this translates to a smaller paycheck (Or you are an employee of the credit card compnay and work for them. I mean they get a cut of every dollar you make) Start paying all your credti card debts (This is very hard too) You can use their money to make money for you and don't use your money to make money for them.\nThis is a very complex matter. Drop me a line if you want specific help.


a) muscle cell because of its high ATP requirements\nb) nerve cell because of its release of neurotransmitters\nc) phagocytic white blood cell because of its involvement in digestive processes\nd) leaf cell of a plant because of its involvement in photosynthesis\ne) bacterial cell because of the necessity to synthesize cellulose for its cell walls

Lysosomes are involved in degradation of materials. It is, therefore, best to study them using degradative cells, such as a white blood cell or macrophage.

Your question is perhaps worded wrong.  I think the main debate is "In which lessons should evolution and creationism be taught."\n\nEvolution is a scienbtific theory, that is it can be tested, measured, shown to be true/false by observation, experimentation, research and review of other linked facts. Our kowledge of the subject can be developed in the same way.  This means that it should be taught in or as a Science.\n\nEvolution can not be investigated by any of these methodologies, nor does it stand scrutiny by them, nor can our knowledge be increased.  It depends on faith as the main driver and therefore should be covered in a Religion, Theology content lesson.\n\nBefore I get dragged over the coals by hard line Christians, I am a Christian myself.  I would ask you to remeber that we need to debate and discuss not listen to fanatic rantings.  Even the idea of Intelligent Design is difficult to support, but I will tag this question and look forward to the debate.


My husband and I were separated for several months.  Upon his return, I found trojan condoms and questioned him about them.  He did admit to having an affair with a single woman while he was out living alone. I placed the condoms in a drawer and check to make sure that they are still there on occassion.  I know if he wanted to cheat again, that he could easily go buy more.  My question, am I being ridiculous in keeping the condoms in plain view as  a reminder of his indiscretion?  Should I be tested for an std?  Should I trust him again? I spoke to this woman and she denied an affair ever occurred but husband said it did.  What's up with that?  This woman called me on the phone trying to get information as to what our status was.  Said she found the number on the internet.   When I look at him sometimes it just sickens me to know that he could so easily go out and play around and act as if nothing has ever happened.  I don't love him as I once did, but we have children to consider.

Get him tested, you get tested and if you two plan on staying together this time. You two have to leave the pass, the what if's out of your starting over and coming back together as a family.


Well I love this guy I have loved him for 4 years. My friends tell me its an obsesion. Others tell me its love. Now here is the twist I have never hear the guy speak or laugh or anithing. I know its not obsesion because every time I look at him my heart tells me he is the one!! i am not into the looks at all! and every time i remember his smile (its goofy because i always see him being serius) it makes me feel warm inside! What do you think???

Looks like love.\nMaybe love is an obsession or obsessions come from love or none or both but it is you who know exactly what's going on so if you think it's love it's love.


To think of boys having sex with each other.\nI don't. \nBut if it's in a cartoon, I think it's pretty cool.  Not really the sex part, just showing the guys making out (cartoon guys)\nHmmmmm. Weird. \nI didn't see Brokeback Mountain, was the sex scene hot?

I understand what you're saying... I think.  I love hentai, I like f/f hentai, m/m hentai, f/m hentai.  The only thing i don't like is f/demon hentai.  P.S. Hentai is the adult cartoons made in Japan.  M/M in hentai can be very sexy, the Japanese are just really good at controlling your senses with their art.


depends on the color \n\nand it's not just effect on your emotions either.  color can have an effect on you phycically \n\nthats why doctors wear sea green.  they found that after staring at blood red for hours on end when they finished and looked at the white all around them thier mind would play tricks on them and they would see sea green and this would cause them to get nausious and vomit.  now when they look up and thier eyes play the same trick instead of seeing Green they see PINK which is very soothing.\n\nthey make the walls in asylum rubber rooms pink as well because when somone goes out of control they put them in a pink room it calms them down quickly.  for some reason it's difficult to be angry and or violent in a pink room.  unless of course you just REALLY REALLY HATE PINK.\n\nthere have been numerous studies on this subject.  try doing some actuall research on the subject.  i'm sure you will find plenty of source material  and most of it is likely to be more accurate than the answers you are likely to get here.

Money's tight these days, so what are some tips for an inexpensive but charming wedding? (For my mom and her fiance)

You can do all the flowers yourself. You can make the cake yourself. You can make the invitations.  These three things alone will save you hundreds of dollars.  A wedding is not "made" by how much money is spent.  What matters is that the bride and groom are happy and everyone had a good time.  If you know anyone with a nice sound system of their own you could ask them if they would be willing to do the music.  Why hire someone that will charge you an arm and a leg when you can just use a nice stereo system and ask everyone you know for different CD's.  Depending on how many women are in the wedding party you can either make the dresses if you know anyone that sews, or ask them to pay for half the dresses themselves.  Depending on location and if you want alcohol instead of having an open bar have it so that they have to pay. That way only the people who want to drink can and you are not paying for drinks that are not going to be consumed.  Small Weddings are great because you can limit the amout of people.  I hope some of these tips help.  Good Luck


There is a commercial with people wearing those.  I think it is just computer graphics--they don't really exist.


Calcium channel blockers are used to lower Blood pressure. It may lower the serum ionized calcium and may increase cytosolic calcium.Is it true?

You're on the right track, but you haven't got it right yet.  Calcium is neccessary in muscle fibers (cells) to contract.  I believe calcium channel blockers block the entry into smooth muscle cells, in the walls of arterioles, from the plasma.  This decreases contraction by these fibers, and thus decreases vasoconstriction.  The result is vasodilatation.  This expansion of the lumens (the hole inside the small artery on cross section) of arterioles all over the body, decreases peripheral vascular resistance, and this lowers the blood pressure.  Whew!  These drugs may also decrease the contractility or strength of contraction of the heart, which would tend to lower blood pressure as well.  Now as far as the precise subcellular mechanism, I'm a little rusty.  I'm sure it's available if you google it in.  I'm just giving you what I know as a practicing ER doc.  My favorite class of drugs for lowering blood pressure are the ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers).  I don't believe that the calcium channel blockers ever lower the serum calcium.  I've never noticed that.  I know that if a patient is overdosed on calcium channel blockers, you can reverse it somewhat by giving IV calcium.  In addition to their use for lowering blood pressure, some calcium channel blockers are used to slow the ventricular rate in supraventricular tachycardias, such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation.  We always have some concern with these drugs, if the patient has some heart failure, ie. a weak heart muscle, in that they may decrease the contractility of the heart and throw them into overt heart failure.  We don't have that concern with the ACE inhibitors and the ARB's.  The ACE inhibitors have a frequent side effect of causing a nagging cough, because they cause a buildup of histamine, but the ARB's don't have that problem.

My sisters and I was molested years ago and no one belived us. Now he has molested the daughter of someone of power now everyone running scared. They knew he molested people years before me. How do you deal with that. Isn't it something wrong with that.

You've gotta make a stand on this one. If you're really up to it - rally the others who got molested years before. Then make a fight on this. That guy deserves the worst. Jail just doesn't justify...


I don't remember it starting, I just remember it being there. It can't be that old though, can it?

Women's Ice Hockey was granted medal status at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan


Give me precise but comprensive answer with evidence, You have to justify your answer.

YES, Aus are the best team in both forms of cricket. The reasons:-\n1. They can pull out a match from disasterous situations.\n2. They have appropriate utility cricketers(probably world's best) in every aspects of the game(batting, bowling, fielding, wicket-keeping).\n3. Their domestic cricket format is the best. Since the main players are compelled to play in the domestic cricket so it is very competitive. And hence there are an abundance supply of new players, and so they can afford their rotation policy.\n4. They (Aus board) take players in the Aus team only when they are experienced in the domestic cricket for a number of years(eg. Mike Hussey, Brad Hodge, etc.), and hence the new-comers doesnt find taff to fit into the int. cricket.\n5. Because they can afford to give their players some rest due to rotation policy, so when the players come back to the team they are anxious, fresh and hungry to play.\n\nI think these are some of the many points which makes Aus different from the other teams.


I have watch women get turned on watching two women making out. Does that mean they are interested and would like to try it or is it just the visual stimulation. Prefer a womans perception on this

Can't talk for all women, but it does nothing for me.  I find it disgusting.


What are the min system requirements for Windows Vista?\n\nI have a Compaq Presario V5000z notebook with\n2.0GHz AMD Turion Processor\n1GB RAM\n\nWill it work on my laptop?

they're kind of vague, as it hasn't been released yet, but i think it would work.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/evaluate/hardware/vistahardware.mspx


Do they still use them but feel conflicted? \n\nFor instance can they use\nBlood Banks\nLaser Eye Surgery\nLawn Sprinklers\nIroning Board\nHair Brush\nDust Mop\nPencil Sharpener\nLawnmower\nTraffic Light\nTypewriter\nElevator\nTricycle\nSyphillis Testing\n\nSeriously. If you are a racist person, please answer this. Can you use these items without feeling bad? How do you address the issue? \nEver had Syphillis?

Well, I'm not a racist person, but I guess they could use them if they wanted to. It's their perrogative to be racist or not.


I want the consultant to be clear not to talk to the customer.  Just to do the work.  What is a nice way to tell the consultant?

Just be direct with the consultant. Let them know that you don't think it's a good idea to engage in conversation with a customer. There are many reasons why; namely, liability issues. Conflict of interest. et cetera. If you are nice about it I don't see the problem. As long as you are not using intimidation or the like, the consultant should not be offended. I wouldn't think so.


How is it, that in the sports world of today, that the coach of the Steelers went 14 years with the same team without winning a Super Bowl and without getting the boot?  Did he get 'close but no cigar' enough to keep him around?  Something in his contract?

The owners had faith and realized that it took time to put together something great.  He also lost the AFC championship game a few times and also went to the Super Bowl but lost to Dallas.  So the Steelers have always been good, but just couldnt get over the hump for a while.


Can someone guide me on this one? I tried to reinstall XP pro on my pc but when i run the setup after restarting the PC the F8 key doesnt do anything. There is an option says press F8 to accept. Can someone tell me how to format the whole drive and reinstall XP pro. Thanks

For installation of windows xp, follow the instructions in this article: \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316941\nNow, if you get to the point where it says press F8 ( function key 8, not the letter F and number 8 simultaneously. Trust me. I have stories.) and the computer is not responding, then there may be a piece of hardware causing the malfunction. \n** when doing a Format + Reload of windows xp, make sure all 3rd party peripherals are disconnected (joystick, external flash card reader, camera, mp3 player, network connections, etc.). You only want the power cable, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and speakers connected. ***\n*** Unplug the pc from the ups or surge protector (if applicable) and plug directly into the wall outlet. Some times a malfunctioning ups or surge protector can cause this problem. \n*** Monitor the temp. of the computer case. If the computer is getting really hot then you might have a bad fan or poor ventilation due to excessive dust build up in the case, which means you need to clean the dust. \n** if all els fails call the manufacturers tech support so they can diagnose and possibly remedy the problem wit a replacement part or onsite service


At the begining I thought Tom Hanks wasn'st the right choice for the Robert Langdon character but now, after watching the previews, I loved it.\nSame feeling around?

Ditto to the previous. I think everyone seems to have the same idea. Tom Hanks can always pull off every part - he didn't fit the image I had of Robert. But if anyone can do it, its Tom (trying not to sound like a cheerleader).


i need examples of the similarities and differences between the two

one was all white the other all black. Both were what Tv executives liked to portray as average for who they were. what i mean is the whites had the money in the suberbia and the blacks were just makin it in the projects. That's how TV went until the Cosby show came along and had a black family with a doctor, and a laywer who lived on the east side of New York. Other diiferences: The brady kids were irritating, and all their problems were solved in thirty minutes or less, and in Good Times they were over dramatic.


State it if is a fact that the kingdom was centred in Mali and that Italians, Spanish and Portuguese are decendents of intermarriages between black africans and europeans.  State when the kingdom started and ended, and what ended it.

The Mandé peoples settled the Sahel (including present-day Mali), and formed a succession of Sahelian kingdoms, including the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire, and the Songhai Empire. Timbuktu was a key city in these empires as an outpost for trans-Saharan trade and a center for scholarship. The Songhai Empire declined under a Moroccan invasion in 1591.\n\nTimbuktu had the first university - as such it was a place of learning.\n\nIn terms of its effect on Europe, in later years, Mali like the other West African countries were affected by the slave trade and later conquered by the European powers between 1880-1900.\n\nMali was invaded by France starting in 1880, which annexed it as an overseas department of France. The colony, which at times also included neighbouring countries, was known as French Sudan or the Sudanese Republic. In early 1959, the union of Mali and Senegal became the Mali Federation, which gained independence from France on June 20, 1960. Senegal withdrew from the Mali Federation after a few months. The Republic of Mali, under Modibo Keïta, withdrew from the French Community on September 22, 1960.


He is 33 and I am 22 and we have been dating for a little over a year! What do I get him? HELP!!!

I think you should get him a card and think of something he is really in to and try to incorporate that into your gift. Guys aren't all that big on receiving things for valentines day because they figure it's really the "female" hoilday.  So just make it very sweet and thoughtful! And if all fails..you can perform a striptease for him...when he comes home from work have a trail of rose petals leading from the door to the bathroom where you will be waiting in a bubblebath with rose petals in the tub and chocolate and champagne on the side. Then you will tell him how much you love and appreciate everything he has done for you and that you are glad that you two have found true love in each other!! Let me know if I was helpful...


Popups are going crazy on my screen it is getting very bothersome

Pop-ups are a direct result of a spyware infection. You need to clean your system.  I recommend you download and run all of the files listed in the link below, except HijackThis.  I do PC repair professionally and we mostly use a barage of freeware tools to combat this stuff.  We also have the paid programs, but this should get you on the right track.\nI recommend you download, install, and run all of these programs.  Some spyware programs can re-install themselves if not completely removed.  When you finish a scan and the computer says you should restart, don't. Just close the program and run another scan w/ a different program. I suggest you not run HijackThis unless you know what you are doing because HijackThis, although it is a great and powerful tool, has the ability to remove harmless programs. It's up to you to determine the good and bad.\nAfter your spyware scans are through, restart the system and run a couple of free online virus scans from the provided links.\nIt might be in your interest to invest in a good commercial (paid) anti-spyware program. I recommend SpySweeper.  You can usually download this directly from Webroot for about $20.  The advantage of a commercial program is that they offer real-time protection, meaning they prevent infection as opposed to post-infection removal.


Some will be eunnuque because of the Kingdome of heaven?

where does it say this in the Bible?And please try to spell correctly


We really aren't and as a CoC myself, I can say we are some of the most welcoming people I know.  I did grow up in it, but I seem to have been more ignored at other churches that at CoCs.

If that is true, then i think they are just self-righteous or just simply misled.


Ok i got some bad grades on my transcript, im a sophmore. My parents willl be hella mad, How should i tell them?

First, figure out how you are going to do better this semester. Then, tell your parents flat out what your grades were. Ask them to help you with your plan to raise them. They might be mad at you for getting bad grades, but they will be much more supportive if you take a responsible approach to them.


The one reference I found to this incident was that it was an early recorded incident that happened sometime after April 7, 1805, probably on April 13.  That is supposed to be the date of the first time Charbonneau's pirogue overturned.    The actual date may be buried somewhere in one of these websites.  The overturned pirogue and the date it occurred is referenced in the last website.\n\nI hope this helps.

I have seen wrist braclets and shoulder wraps that have magnets placed in them. Anyone have any success with these?

No, magnetic therapy does not help sore muscles any more than those ionic bracelets advertised on TV help anything or the weight-losing pills advertised on TV help you lose weight. All strictly quackery. Only helps the sellers get rich. I am an M.D.

My husband's employer told him that he must keep the company cell phone on and with him  at all times including his off duty times.  Can your employer force you to be available to them during non working hours?  This phone is GPS enabled. They can track the phone as long as it is on.  Does an employer have the right to track you when your off duty?

Unfortunately, an employer can pretty much demand an employee to do anything that's not illegal.  The only exception would be if there was an employment agreement signed that specifically outlines duties.\n\nIs it right?  I don't think so.  But other than finding another job or risk getting fired, I don't think there's a thing you can do about it.


they're always acting offended, it seems.  For example, what is so bad about having the ten commandments outside of a courthouse, or "in god we trust" on our money, or "one nation under god" in the pledge of allegiance?

They are afraid they might be wrong.\n\nThe phrase "Separation of Church and State" has been bandied about for so long that 67% of all Americans believe that it is actually in the Constitution. In fact, those three words appear nowhere in the Constitution. \n\nOblivious to the irrelevance of their arguments, and at the same time refusing to acknowledge that no document of state, let alone the Constitution, has ever proposed such a concept, those on the Left have tried to convince the American people that our founding documents warned of the dangers of mixing politics and religion.\n\nAnytime religion is mentioned within the confines of government today people cry, "Separation of Church and State".  Many people think this statement appears in the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution and therefore must be strictly enforced.  However, the words: "separation", "church", and "state" do not even appear in the first amendment.  The first amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."  The statement about a wall of separation between church and state was made in a letter on January 1, 1802, by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut.  The congregation heard a widespread rumor that the Congregationalists, another denomination, were to become the national religion.  This was very alarming to people who knew about religious persecution in England by the state established church.  Jefferson made it clear in his letter to the Danbury Congregation that the separation was to be that government would not establish a national religion or dictate to men how to worship God.  Jefferson's letter from which the phrase "separation of church and state" was taken affirmed first amendment rights.  Jefferson wrote: \n\nI contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.  (1)\nThe reason Jefferson choose the expression "separation of church and state" was because he was addressing a Baptist congregation; a denomination of which he was not a member.  Jefferson wanted to remove all fears that the state would make dictates to the church.  He was establishing common ground with the Baptists by borrowing the words of Roger Williams, one of the Baptist's own prominent preachers.  Williams had said: \nWhen they have opened a gap in the hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the Church and the wilderness of the world, God hath ever broke down the wall itself, removed the candlestick, and made his garden a wilderness, as at this day.  And that there fore if He will eer please to restore His garden and paradise again, it must of necessity be walled in peculiarly unto Himself from the world...(2) \n\nThe "wall" was understood as one-directional; its purpose was to protect the church from the state.  The world was not to corrupt the church, yet the church was free to teach the people Biblical values. \n\nThe American people knew what would happen if the State established the Church like in England.  Even though it was not recent history to them, they knew that England went so far as forbidding worship in private homes and sponsoring all church activities and keeping people under strict dictates.  They were forced to go to the state established church and do things that were contrary to their conscience.  No other churches were allowed, and mandatory attendance of the established church was compelled under the Conventicle Act of 1665.  Failure to comply would result in imprisonment and torture.  The people did not want freedom from religion, but freedom of religion.  The only real reason to separate the church from t


It depends on what your goals are.  If you're a beginner, balance and uneven pavement will be your greatest obstacles.  If you have ever skated on ice, you'll be ahead of the game.  If not - take some lessons.  Common injuries to beginners are usually to the wrists and the head.  Wear a wrist guards and a helmet.  Here's a beginner's tip for you:  learn to glide/roll on one skate at a time to develop better balance.


the m-18 is nothing more than a m-16. it is fully automatic, but has a much shorter barrel with a collapsible stock. it is primarily use for tactical maneuvering. I am in the military and do fire this weapon on a regular basis, yet no one has been able to answer my questions.

Depending on the state in which you reside, the answer may be a qualified "yes." In order to purchase a Class III (select fire) firearm, you need a couple of things:\n\n1. It has to be legal in your state.\n\n2. You need permission from the chief law enforcement officer in your county - ordinarily the sheriff.\n\n3. You need to decide EXACTLY what firearm you want to purchase - not just the model, but the exact serial number. You'll need that for the next step.\n\n3a. The firearm has to have been manufactured, assembled (and imported, where applicable)  prior to May 19, 1986.\n\n4. You need to fill out an ATF form (number escapes me) begging permission from them to own such a firearm. You need to include the serial number, hence step #3.\n\n5. You need to have a secure location to place the firearm in your house. The ATF can show up any time - day or night - for a spot check to see that the gun is on the premises listed in step 4 and that you're the only one that has access to it.\n\n6. You need to pay a $200 tax for having such a firearm. I don't recall if it's $200 once or every year, but it's a pittance. Annoying, but a pittance.\n\nReally, your best bet is to find a dealer that specializes in Class III firearms. A quick call to a local gun shop will help you find one.


The marine was aquitted. One of many harsh injustices small countries must put up with from developed countries who abuse power.

What is this hotline called? Is it safe enough so it doesnt get hacked into or sabotaged?

The most famous line of this type is the direct communications line between the Russian and American administrations.  It has been called "the hot line" and the "red telephone".   The original stated purpose of the line was to prevent a misunderstanding from triggering a nuclear war.   It was intially established in 1963 as a radiotelegraph line.  Its first actual use was during the 1967 Six-Day Arab Israeli war. In the early 1970s, the telegraph was replaced with an actual phone line, which was also supplemented by satellite communications systems and high speed fax.  The most recent use of the line has been to hammer out joint positions on the war in Iraq.\n\nThe lline itself is encrypted to prevent hacking, and besides the primary voice channel there are two satellite channels carried over US and Russian satellites.

I have been told I have hyperthyroidism but they have also mentioned graves disease. When I try and get information on these they tell me two different things to eat. What makes the difference?

Hyperthyroidism is any condition that results in too much thyroid hormone being produced by the thyroid gland.  Grave's disease is one cause of this condition where the entire gland becomes "overactive" and produces too much thyroid hormone.  There are other conditions that cause hyperthyroidism, but the mechnism and nature of these conditions are different from Grave's disease.  Tumors of the thyroid, and sometimes an inflammation of the thyroid can also cause hyperthyroidism.  Your doctor can do tests to determine the cause.  So in short, Grave's disease is not synonymous with hyperthyroidism, but it is one cause of it.

Being an integrity keeper is not a simple matter; it calls for earnest prayer. Especially helpful are the words of the model prayer. In part, Jesus said: "Do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one." (Matthew 6:13) Jehovah does not tempt us to sin. (James 1:13) However, the Scriptures sometimes speak of his doing or causing things, when he, in fact, merely permits them. (Ruth 1:20,21) By praying as Jesus indicated, then, we are asking Jehovah not to abandon us to temptation. And he will not do so, for we have this Scriptural assurance: "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for you to be able to endure it."

Hey, Bro. I like what you said there. I have been diong the same. You are an encouragement to me: to come on here and see you taking advantage of this particular medium to spread the Kingdom message.

*sings* SUpercalifrajelisticexpealidotious, even though the sound of it is something quite atrotious...what does it mean anyway? What do you think? Yes, it is a real word but...hmm its not in the dictionary...

oh but there is a dictionary answer for it. You just gotta look in the right dictionary.....\n"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is the 34-lettered song title from the 1964 movie Mary Poppins. As a song title, it is a proper noun, but the word, and variations, has entered the English language as an adjective. It is one of the longest words in the English language.\n\nThe song describes using the word as a miraculous way to talk oneself out of difficult situations, and even as a way to change one's life. The song appears in the film's animated sequence where Mary Poppins is harangued by reporters after winning a horse race and responds to one claiming there are not words to describe her feelings of the moment. Mary disagrees with that and begins the song about one word she can use.


A lot of soldiers and officers are getting punished under the illegal consumption of alcoholic beverages placed under gen order 1A. I am conducting a study and analysis based on viewer comment and opinion wether soldier or civilian in Iraq should be allowed to consume alcohol.

What's the good & bad about NewYork Exchange stock Market?

Stock traders and investors share the responsibility of financing equity for corporations worldwide. Those able to profit from their operations consistently are among the highest level businesspeople in the world. Many people do gamble on stocks. It doesn't have to be like a casino, but many people treat it that way.\n\nOn a basic blackjack hand, when you lose, you lose 100%. In the stock market, you (usually) get to decide how much you lose. My absolute limit is 7%, but usually less. With time you can learn to hold stocks until they go up at least 21%. In this way you have built a 1:3 risk reward / ratio. Try getting that in any casino.\n\nThe stock market will give you all the risk you want. Managing that risk like a professional is the key to success.


I've always heard that Dell has horrible customer service and that their computers are only trouble. My friend got a dell and within a yr had to replace his hard drive and since then has done it agian. He's had it six yrs. and has seemed to have repeated problems.

I find Dell PC's to be very reliable for the most part. It is true that they offshored their tech support so now it sucks. Also they have now started bundling AOL with all their consumer computers (even if you ask for earthlink instead) causing a major impact on computer performance. Over the last 5 years, I have ordered several servers, several desk tops, and a laptop. The only problem I ever had was a bad CD burner for which they shipped a replacement in a timely manner. Since I started doing PC repair again in the last few years, I have seen a lot of Gateways and HP's needing service but not one Dell.


Spells DO work...however, spells are intended to be a personal thing, for you and you only.  For example, you can't cast spells on someone or to make someone do something that is against their will.  The Universe just doesn't work that way.  If it did, and if it were possible to control other people through spells, then what would be the point of life?  We would all simply lose our own control to the desires of others...and then the deeper question would be, who is controlling (or "spelling") the people who would be casting spells on us?  It's just unintelligent to think that this is reality or even possible.\n\nSpells DO work, if you are casting them on yourself and for your own life.  However, its not because of any supernatural force that makes them happen and become a reality.  In fact the force is natural (as opposed to SUPERnatural).  When you put a thought (positive or negative) into your universe, or your world, you can make it happen.\n\nThe spells (chants, rituals, etc.) associated with this desire or thought, are simply ways to reinforce the intention in your mind and to make it real to you and more powerful to you.\n\nMany religions and spiritualities cast spells, even though it is called something different in each path.  For example, a Chrisitan may not say that he is casting a spell when he prays for his wife and family, but the philosophy is the same: to put a thought "out there in the universe, to God, to Allah, to whatever or whomever, to create a change in our lives".

Its perfectly OK. C'mon people we are living in the 21st century now.\n\nAnd for all those, who use Bible as a weapon against homosexual desires, I'd like to tell you that its not Jesus himself that wrote it. How can you gaurantee that whosoever wrote it, did not misinterpret Jesus. \n\nIts only the "personal interpretations" of the homophobics that make it against it. Even rayburnlarry above has cited a "version" of Bible, while going against same sex love.\n\nJesus, the messiah always promoted love, understanding and accepting those who might be different from us.\n\nNothing makes God, the Jesus more happier than seeing Love rather than hatred and selfishness.

can i just move to canada to be with wife? do i become a citizen? what else happens?


i want to do business with a coy in oregon but they won't reply my inquiries. is it because i proposed exporting their fertilizer to africa?

It would truly cost more to import it to Africa than it is worth. Think about it. It's like importing ice to Antarctica or a shipping container of BonBon's to Starr Jones' house.


I was looking for a website that was fun and had games and quizzes in it for girls 11 years old.


How come there's no black, hispanic racers?

Ummm, no. Nascar is not just a white sport, its just that other cultures are not involved w/ Nascar. As your know, most Black people are interested in Basketball, and football. But we could need a black nascar person, or any other multi-cultural person.maybe we could turn Nascar into a multi=racial sport, then.


I have one and i just want to see if anybody else can relate

My son had one.  It is a process, but the experience does come to an end eventually.  We bought a book with lots of stories in it.  Every night as he was tucked in bed, I would crank the expanders and read the next story.  It was a little like marking the calendar, but he really liked that part.  Maybe there is some ritual that you can work on with your family that would help the days pass a little more quickly with a little more fun.  (We actually read through two books.)\n\nThe following is from my son:\nI have had a palette expander before, and when I ate it was tough to chew meat.  I didn't like getting it expanded because it hurt my teeth every night.  It expanded my teeth a lot, and the pain and agony was worth it.  I was 10.


So, people, keep that cussin coming along. Every time you get ticked off, my bank account grows.

To get a huge job from a builder. He has asked me to put down on paper my company CV / profile. Apparently he needs to convince the money people that my company is the way to go. But dont know what to do or exactly what is required. Your help with this could help land my company a life changing project.

Not clear, you need to create a company profile (a profile of the whole company) or provide your CV for a company's proposal?\n\nFor your personal CV, you don't want to just create a chronological list of all the places you ever worked (like a resume you might use for jobhunting).  You want to highlight your area of expertise, relevant skills, relevant traininig, previous work experience relevant to the project and examples of projects that you worked on, any awards you received, or articles you may have published. \n\nFor a company profile you want to provide short intro about the company, the company's mission, areas of expertise, accomplishments/awards and relevant projects.\n\nThat's just a short listing off the cuff. There's more you could include in either, depending on your situation, the industry and the type of contract you are trying for.  \n\nThere's no beating research when you have to do something for the first time: do some web searching for examples of either professional CV or company profile in the industry you are in.  Samples and templates are usually avaialable, and while you are at it, check out what the competition is saying about themselves.   You will turn up a number of resources that should prove helpful\n\nGood luck!

If you are, then your husband probably has no complaints. Maybe you should invest in some "toys" so you can keep it at home. If your husband is emotionally secure, he'll have no problem with you using them and might even buy some.\n\nIf you have a single twin sister, I'd like to meet her.

Below are only some of the side effects associated with steroid use. Some steroids lead to more side effects than others. In most cases, the more effective the steorid, the more negative effects the user will see.\n\nWater Retention:\n\nThis is most common from using steroids. It is a “puffiness” or swelling in the neck and facial areas. It is rather notable mainly if you know the person is on steroids. For example, I know someone that took steroids but I did not know it at the time. After I found out, if I looked his face I would wonder how I couldn’t notice he was on roids before. It can be mild swelling or very serious, obvious swelling. \n\nAcne: \n\nEveryone knows about acne, and is one of the side effects I worry about the most for me. It is also a very common side effect, it can give acne to someone who has never had acne, and it can make acne worse for others. It can also appear in new places for a person, such as, the back and neck. There have been several users that have not received acne on the other hand. \n\nGynecomastia: \n\nIt may not sound familiar but most people have heard about it. It is the formation of breasts, or abnormally large glands. The first signs are lumps under the nipples, then will gradually grow to fatty tissue and increase in size. \n\nAggression: \n\nAggression, also know as “roid rages”. Surprisingly, several athletes feel this is a positive effect. They often find they lift more, and are more intense during workouts. On the negative side, users find themselves fighting with family, friends, and co-workers with an uptight behaviour. \n\nHypertension: \n\nHigh blood pressure is also a chance when taking steroids. Most athletes would not know if they had high blood pressure so it is suggested to get tests regularly. High blood pressure can lead to many more serious diseases. \n\nCardiovascular Disease: \n\nStudies have shown that steroid use is a risk factor for heart disease. This is because steroids affect the cholesterol levels. Over a period of time the cholesterol builds up and clogs the arteries. \n\nPalpitations: \n\nHeart palpitations have been reported by a number of athletes on steroids. These may indicate an excited or elevated level of the central nervous system. \n\nImpotence: \n\nImpotence occurs when a user goes on and off steroids. When steroids are first used sexual interest increases because of the heightened frequency and duration of the erections. But eventually the opposite happens and no erections can be produced. \n\nJaundice: \n\nA serious liver disease which is found by an enlarged painful liver, yellowing of the eyes and skin, and flu like symptoms. This happens when athletes use high dosages of steroids.

I buy a new one every two to three years and spend between $800 to $1000.\n\nYou're never too old for a computer, although I think some adults are still too young for one ;-)\n\nEdited to add: \nI've been using computers since 1989 (DOS). My husband and I were regular visitors to a computer expo where you could have a computer built directly to your specs and for a long time we saved a lot of money this way and ALWAYS had the most up-to-date equipment, biggest hard drives, most RAM, etc.\n\nHowever things change and this is no longer true. Dell, Gateway, HP and others now sell computers with decent specs and at comparable prices to what you could do getting it built to your specs, or building it yourself.\n\nThe only time I would recommend doing a lengthy course of education to build computers is if;\n   ( 1 ) you want to do it as a business or you want to repair them as a business, \n   ( 2 ) you are an extreme gamer and want to push the equipment as far as you can.\n\nIn both of those instances you absolutely need to know what you're doing. Otherwise it's not necessary.


I am debating taking the place of a owner that needs to leave a support group and the group needs a new owner. What is involved and are there any costs involved to take over as owner. I have never done anything like this so your help is really needed.

This is different for different groups.  I suggest asking the group owner this question.


I am not trying to offend anybody. But my question is because I want to know when it begin to use tahta word as a despective word. Why when an afroamerican use it it does not mean anything. and why in spanish if we have a word similar negro for us and for afro latinamerican it is no offensive. Why that difference. What happen here why is there so much hate with a word that means o refer a color. Why is there this attitude so irrational. I do not understand

The word you are referring to was a place people were from. Thats how at that time they were labeled, by where they had been taken from. It didn't originate with 2 G's but one as in Niger. But over time thats how all african americans became reffered to. In all honesty, it might not mean as much as it does had it not been used the way it was. But because it was said with such hate and disgust it became a new curse word. And I think the reason that african americans can use to word on each other without being offended is this. Not all of us are like them and we can't say that we know how it is to be them. So for someone of a different race to say it to them is to be discriminated against.


please answer this question kvikly please help me and do not copy from internet.

carbon is found in the ground in the form of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil. when we dig those fuels up and use them the carbon in the fuels reacts with oxygen(it burns!) to produce carbon dioxide, which then enters the atmosphere. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas the more of it in the atmosphere the hotter the planet gets.\nAll this is caused by a very important idea in chemistry called the law of conservation of matter.  matter is never created nor destroyed.  in the case of carbon it is moved from underground where it doesn't do any harm to the planet to the atmosphere where it does.

First off, I'd buy a carton of cigarettes and rekindle my old addiction.\n\nOther than that.. its too complicated of a question. I want to say I'd spend it with my family, but I don't know if I'd want to spend my last day being pitied. \n\nIf I was single, and wasn't close to my family, I'd take a drive into the mountains, with my pack of smokes, and lay out under the stars and wait.

I am 31 years old and was diagnosed with hypothyroid 2 1/2 years ago and since then I have gained over 70 lb from 155 to 220 I am miserable and cannot afford the help that I need to get back to normal feels like my life is falling apart with all the symptoms I posess can someone help me????????

Sorry to hear of your problem.  I don't know exactly what help you mat need but assistance with meds can be found at this website:\nhttps://www.pparx.org/Intro.php\nAs far as assistance with seeing a doctor or other medical care, check with local health departmants, clinics and even hospitals.  Many hospitals and some private doctors have programs to help low income people to recieve treatment for little or no cost.  Many times a chaplans office inthe hospital is a great place to start.  If you are of low income I would also check with Social Security, State and local health  departments and social service organizations like St. Vincent DePaul or the Salvation Army. I wish you luck and hope this might help.


Sinuses drain when I'm tired and make me nauseated.

A doc once told me to snort salt water up my nose.  It works in breaking up sinus blockage and makes the mucus more fluid so it dosen't bother you.  \n\nTake a shallow saucer and use distilled water and salt.  Make the water taste like sea water.  If is burns your nasal area it is to much salt.  Put both nostrals in the saucer of water and snore it up your nose and let the water run back out your mouth.  Make sure you have plenty of paper towels to blow your nose.  Once a week until you feel better should do it.  Then when ever you feel to much drainage do it again.  Don't do it to often can dry out nose.\n\nI am sinus drainage free for many years now.  Good luck!

i m in love with someone at chat i know everything about him i have not seen him i have also talked with him. so should i say yes to him

You probably think that you love him.  But the problem with chatting with someone you never met, is you have no idea if that is the "real" them.  Most times it is not.  Everyone shares the best things about themselves, so you aren't going to know all the weird, quirky, or even disturbing things.  Not to mention the stuff they tell you could be completely made up.\nI believe it is possible to love what you believe is the person, but you could be loving a made-up person.


Any information or links to information on the Law of Large Numbers will be appreciated. Thank You!


He says that he doesnt want me back and its long distance yet he emails. What does he want from me??????

He is contacting you because you are allowing it.  Don't answer his emails.  Don't communicate back, he will get the point eventually.


and when is the start date? The day I made the debt or the day it went to collections?

It's sort of a catch-22.  Most things remain on your credit report for 7 years (such as a late payment).  If it goes to collections (let's say after 3 years) then the 7-years starts over again with that item on your credit report.  However, let's say you realize it after another 2 years, want to stop it from being a negative on your credit report, so you repay it - the collections agency will mark it on your credit report as paid, and it resets for another 7 years!  So, while it helps you to repay it, it hurts you at the same time (if you don't repay it, it will always negatively affect your credit score, even if it doesn't appear on there, and the credit agency can always exercise a lien on any money you make down the road).


What do u think about this?\n\nhttp://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200512/22/eng20051222_230059.html


I'd just like to break up and cry..maybe it was due to happen, maybe we could have done something about that..i feel guilty but we could not carry on like that, we had so different views about our future together. it was an almost 5 years relationship and my first serious one, so it's the first time to experience this..any help would be appreciated.thanks

While it is to easy to succumb to the emotional anguish that is consuming you at this early stage you must put a few bricks up to get through it. Do not drive yourself insane with analizing the last five years. Enlist a support group, best friends, family etc. Go out to the movies, nothing romantic, just a good comedy, horror, action you get the point. Invite some friends over for a dinner party or skip the dinner and just party. Ask each of them to bring a new friend, someone you've never met. Meeting new people is a stimulant. Involve yourself in your favorite activities or hobbies to keep your mind occupied. Submerse yourself in some great books. Pamper yourself a little go on a shopping trip, but something fun and frivolous. Keeping busy is the best thing. Of course the nights will be the roughest. Go ahead and allow yourself to think about her if she comes to mind while you are trying to drift off to sleep. It is part of the healing process. Cry if need be, tears are the cleansing of our soul. Eventually the sorrow will subside. While I think it is important to surround yourself with good friends and meet new people just don't hook up with anyone. Five years is a long time to be with someone, you'll need to take a good year being single to rediscover who you are before enerting the dating game. Have fun, and remember it's ok to have your ups and downs. You'll be fine and who knows in the near future you may come to think the break up was a good thing, usually when one door closes it's because another is getting ready to open. Old cliche I know but it is so true.


Ok sure cartoons may be enjoyed by kids, but lately they seem to be written for adults. My favorite is "Fairly Odd Parents!" Cosmo and Wanda just floor me! What's your fav?

I like the new nick toons too, but gotta give some love to cartoon network.  Johnny Bravo and mojo jojo from the power puff girls crack me up everytime I, um, I mean my little girls, watch them.  Jimmy Newtron is funny too.


Some people are afraid of swimming and diving because they have a phobia and they don't know how to swim. Then some others are love to swim and diving because it give them relaxation, out of stress and to exercise their muscles and tissues. Do you think that the phycological thing that helps to the people just like me not to afraid to swim in the high water. For me it is important matter!

Sometimes the reason people may think they are afraid of swimming may be sensory related.  You may not actually be afraid of the water but may the feeling of it may tell you that you don't want to swim.  Try walking in the water and different movements to really get the feel of the water. And practice some breath control above the water to get the feeling of it.  Some places have swim lessons for teens and adults that could help too, or even a private instructor could help you out.


when a girl gives you an excuse about why she can't go on a date with you, how can you determine the legitimacy of the excuse?

If she is giving you excuses not to go on a date . . . three strikes she is out.\n\nIn most cases she is not interested . . . in you . . . so move on.\n\nIf she tries to become chummy . . . ignore her . . . don't be a wimp . . . be a man and move on.

What can be done about the poor officiating in NFL football ?\n\nI would like to see the nfl players association get involved in the solution ?\nPlayers are making very good money. Would it be out of the question to require the players association to establish a criteria for training and testing candidates as well as establishing wages for officials that would be paid for by the players union or team owners or a combination of both?\nHaving trained fulltime officials would benefit the sport as well as the players,imo.

I admit, I was pissed at the officials watching the Super Bowl.  But with that said, I don't think officials are getting any worse then they were 5, 10, 20 years ago.  \n\nOfficiating is simply relying on your best judgement at a very high rate of speed without the benefit of instant replay in slow motion (unless of course it's challenged).  The officials know the rules and the league now has instant replay for QA purposes.  I don't know where we would benefit by having officials work full time.  They are graded every game and they watch the film weekly to see what went right and what went wrong.

I guess I'm getting old or perhaps I just had too much red meat today.  I'm reading all these questions from guys whining about their girls leaving or cheating on them.  Well no wonder she left you or cheated on you. What women wants a wimpy whiner she doesn't respect for a partner. For goodness sakes grow a pair.\n\nIs it just me?

it all started when they wanted to wax their eyebrows, get their nails done and taking longer to get ready and pick out an outfit than we girls do... metrosexuals- HA!! I agree, what the hell happened to all the REAL men??

But he says that it isn't like that. i am so in luv with him but all he does is give me ultimatiums since i have been gone. plus he changes his mind all the time, example, yesterday he wanted to take things slow and just visit eachother but today he wants me to jsut move back in with him. his mind changes with his mood. i just feel as if he has given me his last ultimatium and i can't take it anymore even though i love him so much! please anyone give me some help!!!! thank you

Ignore him and concentrate fully on yourself.  Spoil yourself.  Do your favorite things that have nothing to do with him.  He sounds immature and not ready for commitment.  It will hurt for awhile but eventually you will find your perfect man and it will seem funny to you that you ever wasted any time or thought on this guy.

Why is it ok to curse, be mean to people, talk about and exploit sex, etc. in public and everywhere you go, but if you speak of God, Pray, or wear clothing with scriptures or anything like that you are offending people? \n\nEven if you don't believe in God and religion, look at the people who truly do believe and live their lives by the Word. Look at how they act. They are kind, caring, respectful and they donate money to charities and volunteer for things. \n\nSo whether or not you think God is real, the people who do have become better people because of their belief. So in my mind's eye, those who believe with their heart and confess with their mouth Jesus is indeeed our Saviour are 1: If it's all real then they are going to spend eternity with the Father 2: Either way they are really good people.\n\nAs for me I believe without a doubt but I struggle with living right. I have had a few experiences that made my belief stronger than ever. I still have to work on how I lead my life.

Let's face it--it's easier to insult or make fun of believers than to put that mantle on.\n\nYou know what it's like--it's not called "the straight and narrow" for nothing.  I wouldn't say it's true for all, but for many it's just a case of not seeing any kind of benefit--material, I'm pretty sure--to justify their committiment of time, let alone sacrifice.\n\nWhy do you think so many people question God's lack of intervention in natural disasters or tragic deaths?  These people all think it's some kind of cause/effect relationship.  You screw up--God bails you out.  If things go wrong, there can't be a God--otherwise He'd have stopped it.\n\nSo many of these people are just jaded from the bombardment of so much content that they absorb--TV, movies, the Internet.  There's plenty of crap to catch hold of, I have no doubt.\n\nThey're just so busy trying to disprove our beliefs they can't bother seeing the kinds of people they insult.  As far as that goes, most of these folks see Christians as one big happy Pat Robertson family.  Unfortunately, those that speak the loudest get the most attentio.\n\nI always figure every post from one of these folks is just another opportunity for me to witness.  Maybe 99 times I'll just be wasting my time.  But who knows about the other 1?\n\nNone of us are perfect, but you are certainly walking the right path.  Let these lost souls both strengthen your faith and provide you a powerful incentive to keep witnessing God's love and Jesus' sacrifice for our sins.  Go in peace and go with God.\n\n\n\nWhile I stand behind all the words I wrote above, I felt I had to add to this post in reaction to your additonal comments about prayer in school.  I don't know exactly what the context is, but I find it very troubling.  As a Christian, I believe prayer to be the most direct link I have with God.  But the notion that prayer should somehow be forced upon students or encouraged in a public school is not just unconstitutional but morally repugnant to me.  Even voluntary prayer is  patently coersive in my opinion.  I think you are a well-meaning but misguided person who does need to work more on how you lead your life.  A little bit more tolerance for those who don't share your beliefs would be as welcome as others' tolerance for yours.


If he KNEW that he coming to earth would directly lead to strife and that man would corrupt his word and that the antichrist would corrupt his word as well, then WHY would he bring religion to man? Haven't MORE people died at the hands of the Christian faith that have been saved? After all, we can clearly COUNT the dead, but we cannot count the "saved?" BTW, I would also throw Mohammad into that mix, just so that no one thinks that i am picking on Jesus, personally.

it's called free will. tell people that if they step out of line, they will be punished for it, well you know there will be people who will, wheather they lead the "walk off" or just followed, it was/is bound to happen. religion is there to so people that you can be good, & that there is more options than just being "bad".\nso thus jesus cannot be charged for humanities screw ups...\nbesides, jesus was a peacenic!


i met this guy for just 7months on christain chat room. and right from there he ask me to marry him which i did not accept immediately but after 2 months phone calls and chat i begin to fall in love with him and that is how we found our self in love.he has come to see my family and i have also seen his family. the family welcomed me so much and oblige us to go ahead and marry since we have agreed even my own family accept him. To say it all this guy is very caring and has a good understanding when it comes to issues. One of the things that makes me to accept him is his boldness. i love men that stand on their right all the time and this guy when he says no he mean no. am undergraduate still in 200 level in the university though 26 years old but my problem is that he doesn't have money since he is a full time pastor i.e he has no other job. should i go on and marry him? pls help me out

Yes I think you should..... but you don't need to rush into anything.... why not finish your degree then marry him.... Then, you will be able to contribute financially to the marriage. Also, if you give up your studies for him you may always wonder what could have been had you not dropped out of school.


Homosexuality or sodomy is a the biggest suffering of my life and it has caused severe confilicts in my personality, though I am a Muslim but I cannot give this thing up, there is no way out of it. I can suspend my desires for some times but I cannot buried them deep, please help me

i think your real problem is the conflict between your sexuality and your religion. i personally think there is nothing wrong with being gay. it would be the best for you to accept yourself the way you are, but that would mean you'd have to alter your religious beliefs to understand that your sexuality does not change your faith.


They reveal the true face of that religion.


things are so crazy these days because of all the freedom we have.

There is no such thing as "too much freedom." The ultimate freedom would be anarchy (where there is no law and we all kill and get killed without being accountable). \n\nNow the more practical answer.  No, we don't.  The fact is that the media only reports one side of the story.  We all have our opinions and others around us are influenced by our opinion.  Our poor have barely any means to become rich.  We are ignorant, and we are too stupid too know we are ignorant.  We have a ban on gay rights. Thus no, we don't have too much freedom.  We don't have freedom enough to be truly free from all bias, all dogma and all insanity.\n\nYet, we are as free as any other "nation" ever has been.  We are the innovators.  We are the geo-political leaders. We have the American Dream.  We have people willing to die to defend FREEDOM.  We have the leaders in all walks of life.  We are, the great, Americans.  We are as fr, if not more, as any civilization should be and and we are damn proud of it.\n\nGod bless America.


Why is it that when us women date a "nice guy" we think he's a spineless pushover and we dump them for the "bad boy" type who are so desirable and then we complain that they are such a jerK! Does this cycle ever end!!!!

maybe the answer lies in the fact that most person seem to like or want what they can't or don't  have, instead of appreciating what is already theirs. With the bad boys, you never really have them. Nice guys are always there and available. Although they might not admit it, most women find that boring somehow. Probably women feel they have the uoer hand on nice guys who realy care, and that just is not attractive to them. The same works with men toward women I think. A lot o men willl take the nice woman, but go after a totall different type at the same time.


does smoking pot cause water retention??

I don't think so, but heroin can easily stop pissing and shitting.  The former can be frightfully painful and may need catheterisation (even more painful).
