the ex is leaving in 2 months or so and she likes me as well but is scared that if it wont work when she leaves we will leave on bad terms\ni still like her but im confused on what to do

You have nothing to lose so go for it, if you dont act on it right now you will then say...if only i had told her...so just give it a try.  If it doesnt work you can just move on like you did when you first left her...


HI, my daughters dad pays 446 a month in child support.  I make about 850 a month at my job.  He just got a better job, and would have to pay 150 bucks a month extra then he is now.  He is being really nice to me all of a sudden and I am afraid I will make him mad if I ask the court to make him pay more.  Should I sacrifice our relations for the money?  I am not sure if he is really being nice to be nice, or maybe he is being nice cause he doesnt want me to raise the amount, I am not really sure. This ends up being a moral question and a judgement question, and I am just not sure. What do yall think I should do?(He was making 2000 a month, now hes making 2500, and my daycare expenses have gone way up).

As someone who has had support obligors jailed for failing to pay support, but also as someone who has been faced with support obligees who completely misrepresent their financial and custody circumstances in order to try to force an obligor parent to pay more than would otherwise be permitted, as a means of maintaining control over the other person, my opinion is that you must balance the value of the money to you, with the very real likelihood that you may disincentivize the other party from wanting to have anything to do with his/her child(ren), and furthermore to want to try to improve their own financial circumstances over the long term.\n\nThere is really no perfect answer to the questions, but I would urge you to try to get the obligor parent more involved in directly caring for the child, rather than merely paying for it, because this produces the best overall result for the child. The father will feel involved, and less likely to want to withhold support for the child, and the child will feel like there are two involved parents, rather than only one who is doing the caring, and the other who is doing the paying.\n\nGood luck.


I would take mental telepathy.  I would know what others were thinking, be able to influence them, and eventually stop war and poverty and hunger!!\n\nThat or teleportation, I hate the stress of travel.

Hmm...that's a really good question.\nYou're making me wish I had such powers! :)\nI would wish telepathy and teleportation as well...it'd be so great to be as influential as Professor X from X-Men, or Jean Grey. \nI'd like to walk through walls like Kitty from X-men, or maybe...to have a body of indestructible bones and regenerative healing powers. :)\nOoo..I do wish I had such powers. it would be so nice, and think about how many lives you could change and help! \n\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)


In what ways was World War I unlike any of the wars which preceded it? (1) Please double-space your work. (2) All work must be submitted either as a Microsoft Word document or as an .rtf file. (3) I would expect your essay to be around 3-4 pages long.

I don't need 3 or 4 pages. What distinguishes World War One from all previous conflicts was that it was what we call a "Total War". That meant that not only were ALL citizens from the belligerent countries fair game for destruction, but all citizens were expected to contribute to the way effort in any way they could. There were no rules of gentlemanly conduct and no limits to what either side could do. It was a contest between the maximum force of one side, and the maximum force of the other side, hence, Total War.


Muslims said that there are many new words include in the Bible, and now the Holy Bible which we see in this world is not the original Holy Book which God revealed on Messenger Esa(Jesus),my question is that,Is the Holy Bible word of God or not?? Please,answer this question with logical and scientific manner,not based on philosophy or beliefs.ok

Short answer: Yes, it is the Word of God.\n\nLong answer:  The Holy Bible is the Word of God, handed down to many people over thousands of years, compiled, translated, translated, translated, interpreted (if you turn protestant) and truncated), translated, translated, and translated.  However, it still remains the Word of God.  Only the exact words changed, while the message (the most important thing) stays the same.


I think it is same. Since we are feeble so we see it big.

'God made man in His own image,\nIn His own image he made him.'\n    There is evil in us, so there is evil in His image. So, Evil is not separated from God. It is in Him/Her only, otherwise as per Bible, we, His image should not have these VICES.

I live in Central CT, would be willing to concider towns near, Farmington, West hartford, Canton, Simsbury and others.

The Simsbury Inn (Simsbury)\nAuqaturf (Southington)\n\nThat's all I can think of, but I'm sure if you contact the town halls in each city, they can give you some ideas of where to go, how to get there, etc...


i was thinking art, design, maths but i finished my studies at GCSE level (16 years old), i don't know where to start. are there any other subjects that might give me the edge at university?

Architecture is one of the few subjects that incorporates both the arts and the sciences and as such it's useful to have qualifications in both areas.\n\nThere are no hard and fast rules when applying to universities as they each apply their own set of entry requirements and your choice of art, design and maths would provide you with a good grounding.\n\nWith the advent of computers a lot of the traditional skills of the architect are not so much needed - drawings and designs are created electronically as opposed to sitting at a drawing board for hours on end.\n\nArchitecture also involves a lot of maths and physics.  You have to understand how structures work and be able to determine what will and won't work (and safely).  For example, it might look very nice to have a fancy cantilevered vieweing platform projecting from the side of a building but if it causes the building to collapse then it's not very practical; you'd have to calculate all the forces involved and design your building to accomodate these forces.\n\nThere's an article from The Independent that you may find useful... http://education.independent.co.uk/higher/az_degrees/article26969.ece \n\nGood luck with your A levels and future degree course.


i hated high school!! BUT my best memory is of me and my friend matt---we vandalized the school and didn't get caught!!! oh what fun!! (we wrote on the school #1 eagles. that was our rival school) lol lol lol

High School was ok. Me and my friend were crazy, we'd be walkin down the sidewalk thing and they had 55 gallon drum trash cans and I would act like I wasn't payin attention and run into 'em, it would make a loud noise and everybody would look!! It was great. One time my friend and I paid a kid we knew to go into the courtyard, where a bunch of people were doin backflips and stuff, and do a cartwheel. And he did it!! We gave him $1! There's lots more but thats enough for now.


i mean we only live one life .... so many predictions of when the world ends.... mankind makes weapons which kill more people... what happens to us after we die too? i mean thers is so many beleifs in so many gods...Jesus,ancient indian gods, God himself... its hard to believe... tell me what you really feel... no jokes...

Ecclesiastes 12:13 - "The conclustion of the matter, everything having been heard is: Fear the true God and keep his Commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man."


My blood glucose levels can bounce from very low to very high and back down within a very short period of time.  The doctor has checked my insulin levels and they are stable, so I am wondering if there is any other substances in our bodies that can have an adverse affect on glucose levels other than insulin.  The doc has not diagnosed me as being diabetic at this time.

If you are not diabetic, and you don't faint in the streets from too low blood glucose, then your problem -- whatever it is -- would not seem to be immediately life threatening. And the erratic changes are not likely due to insulin. Here's why. \n\n=======\nbackground\n\nMetabolic control in the human body is fairly simple in principle. Just involved and interconnected, and only partially understood even now. \n\nYou absorb glucose from food in the intestines (after breaking down complex carbohydrates so it's possible to absorb them) and it goes into the blood. From there it can be absorbed by body cells and insulin is required for about 2/3 of them to do the absorption. Only two types of cells storage significant amounts of glucose internally (liver cells and muscle cells). As the glucose is used as fuel within cells, they either convert internal stores back to glucose, or absorb more from the blood. Glucose absorption is controlled in the 2/3 of the total by insulin, which is required for those cells to absorb glucose. When the beta cells (which are the only source of insulin) see high blood glucose, they release insulin. In non-diabetics, this causes those 2/3 of cells to absorb glucose, the blood level to drop, and the release of insulin to cease. \n\nWhen glucose levels are low, and so insulin levels are as well, liver cells (but not muscle cells) to release stored insulin into the blood. The result is that blood glucose is kept at a more or less constant level, save just after meals when it rises somewhat. \n\nNote that insulin, and exercise, are the only control for reducing glucose levels. There are several situations in which glucose levels are raised by opposing hormones. All of the stress hormones (adrenalin, for instance) cause the liver to output stored glucose and so to raise blood glucose levels. Another hormone, glucagon, also causes the liver to output stored glucose to the blood, and it's sometimes carried by those whose glucose levels are characteristically too low. Infections also usually cause glucose levels to rise. \n\nSo, \n\nfood and any of several signals to the liver cause blood glucose to rise. \n\ninsulin and exercise cause blood glucose to go down; glucose is strongly conserved and is never lost in normal circumstances. \n\nBlood glucose levels vary somewhat in the normal usual course of things. The fluctuations you note in your case, if abnormal, are most likely due to one of these controls.


It doesnt matter about the position it always gets numb

You should check to see if you have a pinch nerve, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis (rheumatoid or osteo) or a sleeping disorder. Your doctor can check it out for you. Also, get a cardio check up too...signs of stroke or heart attack can be attributed to numbing of the fingers....go immediately.


I have a website and a lot of my clients have the tendency to type my web address in the search field instead of in the address bar. This prompted me to do a little research. If I type my website name in Yahoo, MSN, etc. search field the results yield good links as well as links to pages that no longer exist.  If I then click on one of the links to a page I know is a non existant page, I receive an error stating - 404 Not Found - The requested document was not found on this server. That is great (cause I wouldn't want old info floating around out there) however, why does the info show up at all in the search results window to old pages that no longer exist?\n\n  Any help understanding this would be appreciated.

Hi,\n\nThis is totally normal because all search engines works based on reading and strong now and then process later. This is one part of crawling techniques they use. \nyou have below choices:\n\n1) Wait for couple of MONTHS and they will eliminate those non existing links from their DBs automatically.\n2) If those pages are some Active Pages (ASP, ASPX, PHP etc) you can modify them to redirect automatically to the new pages you want to. (I can help you with that) you must have access to your hosting plan and your site pages for this solution.

The most concerning aspect of this is the negative Gross Profit.  That's hard to recover from unless the Company can show substantial continued revenue growth and a large percentage of the "Cost of Revenue" is fixed - i.e. the costs do not increase in line with revenue.

the sag of the cable halfway between the towers on a cold winter day is about 143m.\n\n(a) How long is the cable, assuming it has an approximately parabolic shape? (Represent the cable as a parabola of the form y=kx^2 and determine k to at least 1 decimal place.)\n\n(b) On a hot summer day the cable is about 0.05% longer, due to thermal expansion.  By how much does the sag increase? Assume no movement of the towers.

You get K by knowing that the parabola is centered in the middle of the span (where the sag is lowest). So\n\nk= y/x^2  = 143/640^2  = 3.5x10^-4\n\nFrom there use the path length equation to get the length of the cable. When you have that, multiply by 1.05 and work backwards for (b)

I want to find the lyrics to a song I heard on the TV series Conviction on the episode on 4/14. It said something about "take your time". It was the last song played on the episode.

I think I found who sings this after much searching:  Caleb Cane - "In your own way".  You can find his website at myspace at:  www.myspace.com/calebcane\n\nLyrics are: Tear out your hair if you can’t bare anymore\nIt’s the same as yesterday it stays around\nLocks the door\nSee, now here is the fear\nThat you live with every year\nAnd you wonder if you’ll make it out alive\n\nA change’ll do\nA change of scenery’ll free you\nBut there’s never one way to roll\nSo find a way to take a picture of a moment\nThat you know you can’t control \n\ncho.\nAnd take a minute to reflect in your own way\nTake your time and connect in your own way\nI know it’s good to be alone some days\nBut you got a long face in your own way, baby\nI know you got a big heart in your own way\nIndependent and smart in your own way\nAnd even though you get along somehow\nYou’re missing out now in your own way, baby\n\nStraight from the gate\nYou were told not to relate\nOr reveal the feelings that could only more complicate\nYou turned to stone just to feel\nSomehow permanent & real\nAnd you hate all those who’d ever dare remind\nA lotta little things are coming into focus\nAnd you hope you don’t see ‘em all\nA matter of a certain better situation\nLean your weight against the wall\ncho.\n\nAm I the same as you to a degree?\nYou stay to wave me through, you make me free\nAre we the last ones, then, to see that place,\nand when I fall down on my face am I home?


its all by my bellybutton i fell ugly wen i have a bikini on =(

I have a little of it too. I have no idea why it's there, but to get rid of it for good, the best way would be to get laser hair removal. It might be a little expensive, but hey, it'll keep guys from walking away!


I'm thinking a new operating system may be the only solution. So far, I haven't gotten any helpfull answers to my question on how to get Yahoo email and Gmail working. I'm convinced it's a simple solution, but no one seems to know the answer.

a possible solution is to make partitions to your harddrive\nAdvantage:\n1. you got a specialized partition for each part of your life, work, program testing, gaming etc\n2. window can deal with less resident program, lower work load\n3. easy to identify problem if it come up\n4. you go back up system to work with if you got 1 partition really act up on you\n5. make the most of this day monster size drive\nDisadvantage:\n1. time to do the set up\n2. software to invest


I was just sitting there in Science class when all of sudden my chest hurt when i breathed.  every time i breathed in it was easier, tho.  Then, when it was finished, my ribs made a popping sound.  It really hurt

Does anyone know how to hook up a LX90 computerized telescope to a computer?  Need help

The telescope has a built-in computer to find and track objects in the sky. There are ports for other Meade modules, but not for hooking the telescope up to another computer, as far as I could tell from a quick read through of the manual. If you don't have the manual: http://www.meade.com/manuals/TelescopeManuals/LXseries/LX90-LNT.pdf#search='LX90%20telescope'\n\nIf you were expecting to see stars on your computer, you did not read much about this telescope before you bought or got it.


When 3 guys we didn't know surrounded the car (They were pretty big, about late teens) wanting to pick a fight because my friend supposedly looked at one of them the wrong way, I was floored. They also demanded cash and other stuff, a robbery too I guess. \n\nWe had a baseball bat, a tire iron, and a 300,000 Volt baton taser (that was mine). We were big ourselves, but these guys had 50 to 100 pounds on us easy. \n\nI stuffed the taser against my back and my friend grabbed the baseball bat. We got out and they were on us. They started shoving and we did what anyone would do in a precarious situation. We defended ourselves from imminent attack/danger. \n\nAfter we all threw some fists, I grabbed the taser and tased the guy I was fighting. I held it on him for at least 30 seconds. He was unconscious. My friend bashed one guy in the head with the baseball bat. He had a giant gash, and a lot of blood loss. The other guy we chased down and tased him and kicked him into the ground.

You were in the car, why didn't you just drive away?\n\nYou were charged with a crime because you could've just driven away yet you decided to get out and beat these guys with weapons.  Thats use of excessive force, you're only allowed to defend yourself with the same amount of force that you were attacked with.  If you go to jail you deserve it.\n\nYou couldn't ram a car which is a piece of property???????\n\nWhat world do you live in, this is in no way acceptable behavior.  If you had a car and all of these weapons on you you probably had a cell phone too.  Why didn't you call the cops?\n\nYou didn't drive off because you were afraid of being called a punk, right?  You deserved to go to jail for longer than just 30 days or whatever you said.  \nYou gave a guy brain damage, broke a guys ribs, and left a guy with permanent nerve damage in his arm, what makes you think you aren't liable.


I am 5'11 and to be perfectly honest, rearing towards 300pds. However, I have a great deal of confidence, I dress in a way that flatters my figure, and I have a very positive attitude about life. What is not to like? Is appearance really that important? Will someone ever love my whole package? I guess that is more than one question. I just miss having a man who makes me laugh and someone to kiss.

Hey, don't try so hard to find a guy.  And no matter what weight you are, you are beautiful.  Believe that, no matter what!  You don't have to be skinny to be beautiful.  I mean, I think Queen Latifah is gorgeous and Nicole Richie is...well, never mind.  Just be your fun, sparkling self.  Hang out with friends and family.  People who make you feel good.  Eventually, a man will see that you don't need a man to make you feel good about yourself and will love both your outer and inner package.  And those are the ones worth having.  But those guys take time to find.  And all girls have a hard time finding that.  Even the skinny ones.


this week, if you look east at about 9:30pm local time, you will see Jupiter just above the horizon.  At about 1am, it will be high in the sky to the south.  just before sunrise, it will be just about to set in the west.\n\nsubtract two hours from each of these times for these positions for every month you add to right now.\n\noh, wait.  a picture.  you don't actually want to find it in the sky.  go to http://www.nineplanets.org and click on "Jupiter".


He is the hot guy in it,where he finds out at the end that the girl is a stripper and she has a child.

The song is "Let Me Go" and the dude is an actor on Desperate Housewives where he played the gardener (I think). His name is Jesse Metcalfe.


i am 45 years of age and it seems that over the past three years i have had 3 deaths in my life and now i have pain everyday of my life i am so tired of it i take antidepressants and pain medications but nothing seems to work hands ache all the time and shoulders stay tense which causes headaches and migraines at times and i have sortness of breath i smoke and i am trying to cut back or quit

Depression can cause you to experience physical pain.  It is possible you need a medication adjustment.  Maybe this site will help you.\n\nhttp://www.depressionhurts.com/index.jsp\n\nIt is also possible that you may have bursitis or something similar.  I would suggest you ask your Doctor for an MRI of your shoulders.\n\nSomething else to consider...I had severe shoulder pain which was actually caused by degenerating discs in my neck and it took 2 Doctors and several tests to figure this out.\n\nHope this helps a little.  Good luck and God Bless!  :)


I am new to computers, so it wouldn't probably be a good idea, unless you could tell me how to do it if it was easy. Thanks.

either buy a dummies book or read some other book on how to install it. you need to take some precautions - switch off the PC first, be careful not to pass static electricity in the circuit board (u may touch some metallic object to discharge the static electricity from your body), open the cabinet, find the RAM slot, insert the RAM by holding it in a slightly tilted position. OTHER SOLUTION - get a pro to install it for u.


really no detail, just need to know ifanyone or anyone has heard about this problem and know any rights, thanks

Day care facilities are almost all privately owned and operated.  They aren't obliged to take in or keep any particular ADHS children.\n\nSchools, on the other hand, might have certain laws they have to follow, depending upon the state.  You should contact your state representative, whose office can either send you some material or direct you to the right department.


my computer have Internet explorer 6 sp1\nI have problem access tools/internet options. \nI am the only one using this computer and all of a sudden i start getting this meassage, when i try to go to tools and internet options. \n\nmessage\n-------\n"this operation has been cancelled due to restricion in effect on this computer"\n\nHow do i correct this problem?

Honestly, its all up to you and there isn't really any answers that can help you better coz lets face it, you know your problem better than anyone else. If there is any solution, it has to be from you yourself.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

to see it in 3D?  i don't what it's called. i was wondering if it's on-line somewhere.\nalso... is there a place on-line i can take a free IQ test, that will give me results without having to join or buy something?\nthanks for answers

it's called "Magic Eye".  I think that's what you're talking about (aka stereograph).\n\nthis thing's pretty cool: http://www.keksoft.com/index2.htm\n\nI think http://www.Tickle.com has an IQ test?  Most of these are pay sites, though.\nhttp://www.IQtest.com is ok.  Just a bunch of true/false questions.  you have to give your e-mail, and they send you the IQ, but you'd have to pay $10 to get the "full report" whatever that means! :)


what if the person got it when they are still a virgin?

Yes, the condition called genital warts really is an STD. The official name is HPV or Human Papilloma Virus. Transmission of the virus can occur even when sexual activity is not taking place. That means that if you had skin-to-skin contact with someone who has HPV, you can still get this disease, even though you are a virgin. \n\n\nYou should take a look at these websites. Women are more vulnerable to it than men, and HPV is a known potential cause of cervical cancer. \n\nGreat percentage of likelihood of preventing or "catching" this cancer if diagnosed in early stages. So if you are female and have it or are male and know that you may have passed it on to a female partner, please read the websites about what you can do - for yourself and for them. :)


I usually stay out of the sun because I am so fair--but today I was doing yardwork in just a halter top,and now my shoulders and the back of my neck are a lovely lobster red.Help...please!

aloe is good, but sticky and if your burn is reallyy bad, you don't want to rub gel on yourself. you should go to a drug store, are reall any grocery store, and buy solarcaine, it comes in an aerosol form as well as a gel and has aloe in it as well as pain killers.


I couldn't find any websites that relate to UK Pop Idol. I have never watch the programme but I heard it tops ratings some year ago. Tell me about it.

Pop Idol has been sold all around the world, the most popular version is probably American Idol in the US.\n\nAlthough the first series was popular, launching the career of Will Young, the second series didn't seem to do as well. ITV launched a new show, X-Factor which also featured Simon Cowell but this time involved groups as well as solo singers. This seems to have been much more successful, but as they were made by different production companies (for the same network) there was a legal battle over the format.


Is this normal and how can I stop it?  I'm basically always wet.

I agree with Mohamed!\n\nI would like to add that you can use a vaginal douche. Try to use water only.  It empties out the excess discharge.  Try not to use it too often.  You don't want to eliminate the "good" bacteria.  That could lead to infection.\n\nIf you take a bath, lie down as much as possible and with your finger, try to clean your insides a bit.  That usually fixes the problem.


That is, because smegma builds up under the foreskin, especially around the ridge of the glans at the back, and can become quite smelly and possibly lead to infection (seriously low possibility, has not happened in my experience when i didn't know i should clean it out when i was young). \n\nThe only other reasons i have heard for keeping on with male circumcision are religion and tradition. However, these are irrelevant here, as i am addressing the hygiene issue.\n\nBasically:\n\nIS IT TOO HARD TO CLEAN THE SMEGMA OUT PROPERLY TO WARRANT THE REMOVAL OF THE FORESKIN?\n\nThis more specific question comes from my other two recent ones on the subject that were more general, and more reflective of my disgust at the idea of circumcision.\n\nthey are \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AltES_o3mJsTgN.wNZf_YNvsy6IX?qid=1006042102306\n\nand\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApNfep6ERkzZRRdRfFf_q9rsy6IX?qid=1006042101817\n\npersonally, i think it is really easy to clean the smegma out

NO, sorry!\nForeskin advantage.\n20 good reasons against the circumcision!\n\n1. Full penis length and circumference. The "prepuce" (foreskin) constitutes 50% or more of the skin system of the penis. If unfolded and spread flat, the average adult foreskin measures 60-90 square centimeters (10-14 square inches), or about the size of an index card. The foreskin creates a visible longer penis, especially when the foreskin extends beyond the head of the penis. Also, the double-layered tissue of the foreskin engorges with blood during erection and creates a visibly and sensually thicker shaft and glans.When the engorged foreskin retracts behind the coronal ridge of the glans, it often creates a wider and more pronounced "ridge" that many partners find especially stimulating during penetrative intercourse. The circumcised penis appears truncated and thinner than a full-sized intact penis.\n\n2. Protection. The sleeve of tissue known as the foreskin normally covers the glans and protects it from abrasion, drying, callusing (keratinization), and environmental contaminants. The glans is intended by nature to be a protected internal organ, like the female clitoris. The effect of an exposed glans and resulting keratinization on human sexual response has never been studied. Increasing reports by circumcised men indicate that keratinization causes a loss of sexual sensation, pleasure and fulfillment.\n\n3. Ridged bands. The inner foreskin contains bands of densely innervated, sexually responsive tissue. They constitute a primary erogenous zone of the human penis and are important for realizing the fullness and intensity of sexual response.\n\n4. Gliding action. The foreskin is the only moving part of the penis. During any sexual activity, the foreskin and glans work in unison; their mutual interaction creates a complete sexual response. In heterosexual intercourse, the non-abrasive gliding of the penis in and out of itself within the vagina facilitates smooth and pleasurable intercourse for both partners. Without this gliding action, the corona of the circumcised penis can function as a one-way valve, dragging vaginal lubricants out into the drying air and making artificial lubricants essential for non-painful intercourse.\n\n5. Specialized sensory tissue. In addition to the "ridged bands" mentioned above, thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors (Meissner’s corpuscles) constitute the most important sensory component of the penis. The foreskin contains branches of the dorsal nerve and between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types, which are capable of sensing slight motion and stretch, subtle changes in temperature, and fine gradations in texture.\n\n6. The frenulum. This is a highly nerve-laden web of tissue that tethers the inner foreskin to the underside of the glans. It is similar to the frenula found under the tongue, the upper lip and the clitoral hood (female foreskin). For many intact men, the penile frenulum is a male "G-spot" that is highly pleasurable when repeatedly stretched and relaxed during sexual activity. Depending on the surgical method used, the frenulum is partially to completely destroyed by circumcision.\n\n7. Proper blood flow. The foreskin contains several feet of blood vessels, including the frenular artery and branches of the dorsal artery. The loss of this rich vascularization interrupts normal blood flow to the shaft and glans of the penis, damaging the natural function of the penis and altering its development.\n\n8. Immunological defense. The soft mucosa of the inner foreskin produces plasma cells, which secrete immunoglobulin antibodies, and antibacterial and antiviral proteins, such as the pathogen-killing enzyme called lysozyme. All of the human mucosa (the linings of the mouth, eyelids, vagina, foreskin and an.us) are the body's first line of defense against disease. This benefit of the foreskin could be one possible explanati


exposed skin, goes red and blotchy plus itches when exposed to cold air and water or touch cold objects. is this usual to patients taking prozac/ fluoxetine. the only remedy to reaction is warm up affected area's.

Fluoxetine / Prozac can lead to allergic reactions. The chances are very low and comparable to other psychotropic drugs. Every drug can lead to allergic reactions. In this case it seems that allergy is being caused by exposure to cold. Stay on prozac and discuss it with your practitioner. Do not discontinue it without consultation.

I was wonder how long it would take the letter to reach florida from Michigan.


i have a daughter now with a marreid man. we've met two years ago and we fell in love. what will i do coz he told me to wait for him. i love him so much and i know he feel the same way too. He proved to me how much he loves me in so many ways. how can i forget a guy that is my first and true love, and the father of my daugther. Im willing to wait for him but how can i assure that he will keep the promise? i know its bad but i have no regrets that i did it. His marriage was on the rocks before we met and they marry because the girl got pregnant and he's only 19 when he got married and he's 30 now. our relationship now is againts all odds especially to my family but im taking the risk of it.

First of all, you shouldnt have started an affair with a married man. Whether his marriage is on the rocks or not isnt important. Its a sin to break up familys. That being said now since you have a child with him you have to think about her too. You cant force the man to leave his wife because they have a child too & it isnt fair on that kid either. The best thing to do is to let the man make his own decision but if its possible try not to keep seeing him behind his wife's back. Put yourself in her place. If he can do it to her he can definietly do it to you too.

I know this is kinda morbid, but i always feel like I'm going to die.  If I have a headache I always think It's a brain tumor or an aneurysm.  I feel a pain anywhere in my body i feel like I must have cancer in that area.  I'm always thinking about it and I can't shake this terror.

I don't believe that you're doing this for attention, this must be a very frightening situation for you.  You definitely need to see a Doctor.\n\nI studied a lot of Psychology in college, and I remember hearing about this kind of problem.  I found some links that I hope might be helpful:\n\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/somatoformdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/paindisorder.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/somatizationdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/undsomatoformdis.htm\nhttp://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/ptsd.htm\n\nThe best thing you can do for yourself is go see a doctor, if you haven't already.  You're not alone, this is not an uncommon problem.  Most people just don't have the courage to come forward like you did.\n\nI hope this helps, and I hope you will seek treatment.  You deserve it.\n\n******MODIFIED:\nI talked to a friend of mine tonight who is a Psychologist.  She disagreed with what I had thought (somatoform or PTSD).  She says it does sound like possible hypochondria.  \nA lot of people don't know what hypochondria REALLY is- it's NOT an attempt to get attention or laziness, like many people think.  It is a real fear of death, and can involve delusions of illness & dying.  \nBut again, it is very important for you to go to a Doctor to get a professional opinion.  He/she can tell you much more.\nIf it makes you feel better, I went through something similar when I was 16, I was having these excrutiating lower abdominal pains. I was in the hospital a lot, I went through TONS of test/x-rays/ultrasounds, even surgery!  Turns out it was psychological, I had imagined it all.  I was humiliated for a long time, but then when I found out more, and learned that this kind of thing is fairly common, I felt better.\nI really hope this helps, and that you'll see a Doctor and feel better!  Take care:))


Women aren't better then men. I think all women can agree with me when I say this, We just want to be treated equally,and taken seriously in all the aspects of this life.\nWe want to be given all the opportunity's as men, cause we are tried of guys pushing our opinions,thoughts and feelings to the side as if what we have to say is not as important as what they have to say!!! \nWomen do a lot for this world we just want a little appreciation here and there!


Hi\nI am planning to create a palstic model in 3d so later it can be used for production, maybe. I know 3ds amx but I have not learnt Inventor 10. Should I learn it to create that 3d model. Or I can get the same results in 3ds max and convert to STL format?\nThank you

Our universe is finite, probably rotates and is filled with "space" that is a fluid-like substance.  Could the "evening and morning" represent one full rotation of our universe, rather like one day on our planet represents one full rotation of the planet?

As close to the real answer as you can think of!

I don't remember the story ever giving such a level of detail as her particular age and birthday.  I think that since she was a secondary character I would say it wasn't given.  Such detail wouldn't add anything to the story either.  On the other had, this level of detail is more applicable to the main character, Pip.\n\nI do remember that she was described as an old woman and therefore any number might be right.\n\nA ball park number might be 55 - 60 years old or more.  Undeniably, beyond these ages, it is hard to call someone young for the simple reason that at these particular ages the body begins show clear signs of wear and tear: numerous wrinkles, hair sparsely placed, affected posture, hands and around the eyes become clear markers.  They begin a stage that I call, "Flaky" (the mangy dog look).  That’s where I’m at now, the flaky age.\n\nHey, I just had a fun idea for you -- a good school project entitled:  Identifying Secondary Character Details Through Analyses.\n\nMiss Havisham was at a flaky age just like her wedding dress, wedding cake and her house. \n\n(LOL)


I would like to have a 10 acre area of my San Diego County to build a skate park so the teenagers can have a fun safe place to go. Skating is not a violent thing. It's very creative and very much a competive sport. I think the public needs to have a better outlet for our youth to skate. I see so many stores being built and out teenagers just hanging out and being kicked off properties even if they carry thier boards! I don't think thats fair. Even though I don't skate I find it better for the youth then being out doing drugs.

There are already some great skateparks in San Diego...two of the best being in Encinitas (Magdalena Ecke YMCA) and in Escondido.  The one in Esco was just redone and is awesome!  If you are looking for a public park to be built in your area, http://skatepark.org/ is a GREAT resource.  They have many suggestions for fund raising and how to get in contact with the right people in the city.  There's also a message board so you can get advice from people have been successful.  I have listed a few sites below for other skateparks in San Diego.  Good luck.


Curling as in the sheet of ice and 42 lb rock not what women(and some men) do to their hair.

I love watching curling on TV - I even taped it during the Olympics so I could watch the US in their bronze medal match.  I've never played it, the nearest place to play is like 200 miles away, but I find the game really interesting in a quirky way.  It seems like bowling on ice - the kind of game that you could still play even after a couple of beers!!!


The USA has been protected by God ever since the Mayflower.\nThats why we have been prosperious in the USA, we believe in God as our protector, so I believe we should keet the 10 Commandments everywhere...& prayer back in school...those who come here respect our beliefs...\n\nEarl

Well, they can SURVIVE as in live, but we must remember our forefathers built this nation under Christian belief.\n\nWe ARE "one nation under God" - although I think we're not so indivisible.


What do Mormons think of HBO's new series "Big Love"? \nIf you have something positive to say please be specific...\nAnd if you are appauld again please be specific.\n\nThank you in advance!

I'm a Mormon--I haven't seen any of the episodes, I wouldn't mind checking it out but I just don't get HBO. \n\nIt is unfortunate that the show, whether intentionally or not, draws lines between Polygamist groups in Utah and the official LDS (Mormon) church. Any degree of research or life experience would show you that the two are very separate. The LDS church is intricately structured with an effective leadership hierarchy. It is not as though a single Mormon church group could decided to practice or support polygamy without any higher up leadership finding out. If they do anything so far out of line, they would be excommunicated. In that respect, the LDS church exercises nearly complete control over officially sponsored doctrine and practices to the individual church level. If you had the chance to see this process in action--it would be much easier to understand. \n\nWith this in mind, the highest LDS leadership over 100 years ago decreed that Polygamy was no longer needed and it's practice was to end. Today, that stance is even more firm. I have complete faith that any person who is a member of the official LDS church will be excommunicated if they practice polygamy. \n\nWith that all said, yes the Mormon church did practice polygamy. It is not a secret, however we do try to distance ourselves from it today since for one it is no longer in effect, and for another Polygamist groups aren't usually very pleasant for PR and we simply have no relation to them, therefor it is unfair to be associated with them. \n\nBut do take this in context. Mormons have a history of Polygamy. So do Christians in general if they believe in the Old Testament. So do the Jews and so do Muslims. So you can say what you want, but you practically can't be religious if you want to have a real argument against polygamy in religious life.


What subjects do you study and what are they about? (Example: at PE we only play basketball.)

in higsh school you usually have to take 4 years of english class, 3 years of history/social science, 2 years of science, 2 years of language, PE, and then electives like art, choir, band, shop class (wood working), home ec (cooking/sewing).


Would more moral legislation increase the crime rate in a country?  Is it feasible to believe that forcing a stricter moral code will lead to a more "godly" nation, or will imposed morality just cause religious hypocracy?

"They are really more like guidelines..."  I heard that once.  Common wisdom is morality is a personal choice, and cannot be obtained by imposing laws.  Laws and penalties can influence behavior by incentive and pushishments.

We have a credit card that we're trying to pay off, but we're barely making it with our other bills, so I'm considering on selling my jewelry like earrings, rings which he gave me, and pendants, to get some money. I also want to sell a ring which I bought for him which costed me about 800 dollars, and it I sell it I'll at least get about half of what I paid for it. If I were to sell all these items, I would pay almost the full amount of the credit card. I have second thoughts, because I don't want to tell my husband, but I also want us to get out of debt. What should I do??

First before you sell anything cut those credit cards up and stop using them now. That is how so many people get into debit in the first place, if you don't have the money to pay for it than you really don't need it right?? Second you are thinking of these rings and stuff as objects, which they are but do they not hold memories of the times that you and your husband spent together, the reason that the ring was given. It maybe just jewelry, but look past and see what they really mean. Try before that to get help with your debit, call and see if you can consolidate your bills, they now have debit councilors to help people like yourself, but remember get rid of those cards and that will start you on the right road. Good Luck and please don't do it behind your husbands back that could hurt more than your credit, it could hurt your marriage. Talk to him if that is the way that you think that you need to go.

I have a perfect smile, but lately my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. And it has become really hard to get my teeth clean. Why is this?

Most likely, you are developing gingivitis. It often can be reversed by adopting good dental hygiene habits, which include regular brushing and flossing, as well as twice-yearly dental visits for thorough teeth examinations and cleaning. Once you begin treatment, you will need to continue to see your dentist regularly in order to reverse gum disease. Also, incorporate an anti-gingivitis mouth wash, if you haven't already.


Last year I took a buyout and decided to pursue my dream to be a doctor. I was tired of layoffs and stress of my old job and wanted to find something new and more stable. My wife and I decided as a family that it was ok for me to do. I took the money, stopped working, and started school. Its been a year now and things are getting tough.  The money has run out and money is tight. I have a small part time job but it does not pay enough. My plans didn't work out as I intended. It has been a lot harder than I thought. I failed one of my classes and I didn't do well on my entrance exams. I did not get accepted to school this year, but I think I will make it next year. I feel that my decision is taking its toll on my family. My wife seems to have lost faith in me. She treats me differently now than she did when I was working. She is often upset with me cause I stay out late studying. I love my wife and I don't want to break up, but I know I need stable work, and I want to follow my dreams...

Your family comes first and I totally understand wanting to follow your dreams and you thought this medical career would help your family, but if both of you are not happy with this there will be big problems. Sit with your wife and talk this out and get some input from her and it will make her feel as part of this plan.............

The Human brain put images together because they have learned to expect things, and sometimes the data might get a little confused. \n\nWe may see an illusion because we know what we are expected to see, even though part of a picture or design may not be completely there. The basis of this is in how we perceive things. \n\nThat almost explains everything right there. If our brain and eyes did not function like they do, we would not see illusions like we do.\n\nOne example of optical illusion is the television. The television is just shows us a continuous flow of still pictures, one right after the other. Our eyes along with your brain fill in all of the empty spots. Our brain has learned to expect movement. As a result, our brain can fill in all of the missing pieces and the television appears to be actually moving to you, even though it really isn’t! \n\nA computer monitor is also one big optical illusion. Sometime when you have a chance, look at a computer screen really close for a minute or two. You will notice that you computer screen is made up of tiny red, green, and blue dots. The illusion is, you see more than just red, green, and blue dots; you see thousands of different colors. Our brains put the red, green, and blue dots together to make the colors. \n\nOptical illusions just trick you into seeing something else. They are an error in our perception of the illusion.

im a guy who wants a good relationship but girls think i just want sex i dunno what to do

good for you! .. i think some quiet girls in class like me wants a good relationship and not sex\nif the girl you are with thinks that you want sex, them many you should please them more, with little simple things like noticing anything new like a haircut or an eyebrow trim, give little gifts for every holiday, invite her more to dinners or movies and take her home with a good bye kiss on the cheeck or forehead, etc.. \n\nand this doesn't mean that you are sentitive, it just that you dont like people looking at you the wrong way.\ntry to act more like a GENTLEMAN, and stop flirting with other girls


I say swing for the fences, so the girl will learn she is weaker and control her violent behavior.  Otherwise the man will be taken advantage of.

Because the vast majority of human beings, both male and female, behave hypocritically in at least 1 aspect of their life.


My husband constancely looks at porn and he knows I don't like it.  He always says he stopped but when I look at the history I always see it.  It makes me very uncomfortable and I told him that i will not have sex with him until he stops for good.  PLEASE HELP

The best way to filter out porn is with some kind of parental control software... such as NetNanny, I think Norton makes one... or if you're looking for free software do a search on Yahoo! for "free web blocker" or something similar. \nHowever, the real issue is your husband's porn addiction.  Because even if it's blocked on the home computer, he'll get it elsewhere.  This is a terrible addiction, that has destroyed many families.  but it CAN be overcome. My personal suggestion would be to get him to see a counselor.  Preferrably go with him, couples therapy its sometimes called.  Possibly if he realizes the HUGE impact it has on everyone around him... he might be motivated enough to stop.  But at the end of the day, HE has to make the decision to quit, otherwise he won't.  No matter what you do, unless HE decides it's important to HIM to stop.  Good luck, if you need a good inspirational story on the subject I'll email you my own, just send me an email.\n-Duo

How did Americans differ over religious beliefs and values/culture between the "conservative" emphasis and the "liberal/modern" emphasis on social issues as related to theological/religious differences?

America started from a pretty bland group of Protestents who came here to get away from discrimanation in England or were shipped here as slaves (endentured servents and people from debter's prisons). Hessions who stayed after serving as mercs in the revolutionary war only reinforced this make up. Then came the aquisition of French and Spanish lands as well as large imigrations of Jewish and Catholic settlers. Before these people groups like the Dutch were minorities and suffered the same treatment that the Irish, Italians, freed slaves, and so on suffered when they first broke into American society. \n\nSo the "old blood" money formed a WASP type social structure to keep out unwanted Catholics, Jews and other ethnic groups. This formed the base group which ironically forms the core today of the "liberal" leadership. \n\nThe so called conservitive movement started as a sort of Farmer's rebellion against the corruption and lack of rural representation found in the Gov around the time of the cival war. It was born of the same problems which caused the South a mostly rural area to suceed from the union. Sorry slavery was a minor issue in the cival war. Abe Lincoln was the first Republican elected president. The Whig party disapeered almost overnight. Many of them becoming either democrats or republicans. \n\nNew money had arisen during the intervening years. The railroad barons, Catholics and Jews who had struck it rich, often initially with ilegal enterprises, imigrants from other nations who came here with money. They lived a work ethic and it became the "American dream" while the Democrats remains a party of the old blood and Whites in the South who hated the Republican party for winning the cival war and dozens of other issues. \n\nThis is pretty much where things sat for most of 50 years. The Democrats eventually lured over labor to it's party. Certain ethnic groups like the Irish and Jews who worked the docks and other interests found themselves lined up with teh Democrats who's old money leadership was trying to strike down the new money. By accident alot of good things happened in the process of the two sides fighting this war. Better wages and workplace safety being a couple of those things. \n\nToday it's still a battle between old blood and new blood money. Added to it are quite a few special interests. Big corps and small biz tends to be "conservitive". The WASP churches found affinity with Republicans while the Catholic church found affinity with the Democrats. However down the road the Democrats catered to many other groups almost forcing the Catholic church into Republican boundries with an anti-Christian flavor that took hold in the 60s. \n\nSo theologically the so called "liberals" denounce religion officially but strongly favor anti-Christian religions or the lack of religion. Part of this was the failure of the US comunist party and the movement of Comunists into the Democratic party. Comunists as a fundemental plank are athiests. Comunism officially sees religion as a form of oppression. An Opiate of the masses to quote Marx. The adoption of the Democratic party and large scale conversion to Islam by many Blacks furthor added to this. \n\nRepublicans got a swelling of Christian support as a result and suddenly they became charged with protecting Christianity, especially Protestent Christianity. Republicans welcomed the Christian factions then and still do today though they are smarting from the actions of some televangilists and some of the extreme views found in the more fanatical Christian churches. \n\nAs for values. That is not a thought in the head of either party. They will run up slogans but these are purely to satisfy various factions within their party. Both liberal and conservitive have lost all sight of the meaning of the constitution. Both pretend to fight for upholding various sections of the US Constitution. For example in issu


It would not be intentionally. If it were to happen it would defenitely be by accident. But not even birth control, and contraceptives, are always, effective. I mean it's been known to happen. Anyways, would i be a tramp, if i slept with him and got pregnant on accident? Just wondering? I appreciate your opinions, whether i agree with them or not. Thanks. By the way, he would be the first guy i've slept with if that helps any with your decision. I swear. I'm still a virgin.

No, you wouldn't be a tramp.  The definition of a tramp is someone who has sex with a lot of guys.  However, you have hung on to your virginity all this time, why not keep it until you are married...or at least have an engagement ring on your finger?  Save your virginity as a gift to the man you intend to marry...it is a gift you can give only once so it should go to someone really, really special.\n\nHowever, if you are going to do this, opt for as much protection as possible.  That means a condom for him (which will prevent some, but not all, STDs) and birth control for you.

I would advise you contact your local district attorney's office and see what has happened if anything with the case. \nYou may also want to contact any child protective units in your area or sex abuse task forces that may be close. \n\nYour state does not prohibit this act on a brief look at the statutes.\n\nthe law itself can be found on the following links at the LexisNexis you are looking for section 18-6-403 which states \n\n(d) At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is less than fifteen years of age and the actor is at least four years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim; or\n\n(e) At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is at least fifteen years of age but less than seventeen years of age and the actor is at least ten years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim; or\n\n18-3-405.

I read and heard enough bad things about him.\nLet me read something good about him, if there is any..

1) Correctly implemented policy for proper economic growth. Slow growth based on actual production is preferable to boom growth based off of hype. The economy is in good shape. Granted more has to be done now that the economy is on the right track, to cut spending back down in certain areas, but the spending was necessary to properly boost the economy and support the military actions.\n2) Has a focus on homeland security and taking the battle to terrorists instead of giving them more opportunities to attack on American soil.\n3) Sticks to his guns. Follows through. Not every decision is right, but he follows through on actions til conclusion.

I've read somewhere that, you should not say bad things about your previous company, boss, coworkers...but this situation involves your coworker?

You have to be honest but delicate. Choose your explanation very carefully. They will find out anyway when they call your previous employer. If you are honest, they will appreciate that fact, however; you need to be careful how you explain the situation so they don't think that you can't get along with others. Just be honest.


here are some jobs AMERICANS (WHITE) Wont DO;\n\nWASHING DISHES AT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANT.\n\nPICKING VEGETABLES IN THE HEAT AND ON YOUR BACK FOR 9 HOURS\nSTRAIGT.\nTHIS ALSO APPLIES TO MOWING LAWNS, LANDSCAPING, CUTTING TREES, CLEANING FREEWAY'S,\n\nCLEANING COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AT 1:30AM\n\nWORKING FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS WITH OVER 20 ITEMS IN THE MENU\nNOT LIKE IN AND OUT.. WHERE YOU ONLY HAVE 3 CHOICES..\n\nWASHING CARS.\nWORKING AT FACTORIES\n\nAND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON......

It would be a taste of our own medicine.\n\nThe American citizens of course would start working the works illegals used to do, and not the legal residents because lots of them have College and Post graduate studies, they will keep doing better paying jobs, among with a minority of American citizens.\n\nTherefore, all school drop-outs, and citizens without much education will be doing the work of illegals, BUT FOR HOW LONG?  a week?  a month? \n\nThen, people will stop working or demanding better pay,  and employers will not be able to afford the new ALL-AMERICAN-WORKFORCE.\n\nAll the suddden: SURPRISE!! Higher income people can't find produce at the grocery store! Non-perishable food is getting scarce, factories are closing!\nWell, what do we do... lets go to the restaurant! OH No! the restaurat is closed, there is another one open across the street, but they have only one choice and a waiting time of 4 hours.... \n\nEmployers and Factories send the whole production plant overseas to cut on costs.... OH, Noo!\n\nOH! What do we do now?  \nIf Illegal Aliens are kicked out, the USA will be slowing down in production and stocks, sooner than we think the Country would STOP and it would be Americans going to Mexico or to other Countries.\n\nThen what? it will be Dear American Family, please fill this application for visa and wait 5 years before you can come into my country, thank you for your patience.


UFO's are real.\nBy definition any flying object that is not immediately (and/or within a realistic time frame) identified is an Unidentified Flying Object.\n\nIt does not follow, however, that all (or any) UFO's are of extraterrestrial origin.\n\nYour question is perhaps focusing on flying saucers?\n\nThe idea of magnetics and dynamos and gyroscopic systems as a form of stable propulsion for flying saucers has long been debated.\nI remember reading a an article many years ago about a RAAF \n(Australian Air Force) engineer who was working on this but I cannot remember his name and apparently he 'disappeared' shortly after making some of his claims public. This was maybe 25 years ago or more.\n\nAs the dentist said: The tooth is out. There.


I had a very light period that came late, and a few days later i'm spotting. It started like discharge and everyday became lighter now it's a light brown, and I only spot like once a day. I'm not on the pill, and all preg. tests were neg... I have frequent headaches, but no other pains anywhere. I have a doc apt tomorrow. I've never had an abortion, or problems with my period. \nI'm 21 and don't have any children. This has never happened to me, Do any of these problems that you mention happen if you're a virgin? Or only if you've had intercourse?

Actually spotting between periods can be nothing or it could be something wrong. I did this for years and didn't think anything about it. It happened when I was a virgin and when I wasn't. Sometimes it would be for one day sometimes it would go up to 2 weeks. When I got married we wanted to try right away for a baby (I was 21 by the way) and I couldn't get pregnant. After 3 years of trying we found out I had a disease called PCOS and that was what was causing the spotting. Also if you do get pregnant there is a 40% chance of losing the baby before 3 months which is a very high rate. So I do recommend you getting checked just to be sure. There are meds for almost any reproductive problem and it is good to start early on if you plan on having children in the future so your body is regulated.

what is the system to rotating magnet induced heating

When a magnet rotates around a conductor, it generates a current in that conductor. \n\nCurrent itself is actually the electrons in the conductor moving. Some of this momentum for each electron is lost when it collides against an adjacent electron or in moving against the repulsive force between them. The sum total of all this energy lost by all the electrons is seen as heat and the conductor heats up.


There is no quick if you want healthy.  if you loose more than 2-3 lbs a week you are loosing unhealthy weight.  Usually just water, or muscle.  The only way to loose weight is to use more than you eat.  Yep, that means you gotta exercise.  Even if its walking instead of driving to the corner store, it adds up.  Try to stick with a balanced diet.  It's kinda hard trying to loose weight, but I'd recomend sticking with carbs.  Less fat and health risks.  That adkins thing, I'm iffy on.  Plus carbs help you feel full better than protein.  If you got a sweet tooth, try fruit.  It's sweet enough to curb a lot of cravings and low in calories.  A web search will get you a nutrition guide to the best fruits to eat.  Most are less than 100 calories so you can eat a lot.  And watch what you drink.  Sodas and juices have a lot of calories.  If you can cut that out, you might be able to make the calorie deficit you need.  That's all it takes for me.  Water gets boring fast, but there is a lot of 10 cal. mixes at the grocery store to give you flavor with out adding the other 160 calories.  Good luck.


Christianity, Hinduism and Islam claim that they have the solutions for the mankind what is your opinion especially when Islam says that it not only says to do right things but it also shows how to attain that way practically...

Islam ...it means a way of life...when you read and understand the Quran and the Hadith (the Prophet's teachings) you will come to realize that whatever was taught in Islam was preceeded by an event that needed resolving and Allah sent the message to the people through Prophet Muhammad so that they may lead a better life.  Islamic teachings go way beyond just prayers to Allah but also to his angels, messengers, and mankind.  He also taught us to deal with things in regular life such as finances, and will writing.  It teaches you to be kind to your friends, neighbours, and family, and give charity regularly.  There are so many aspects of the religion that just make sense at least to me and some others in the world.  If you really want a true feel for the religion, I suggest you read up on it yourself and if you have any questions than ask them so you can understand it better.  That goes with any religion.    Take care

What happens to the sperms after vasectomy?\n\nAfter vasectomy sperms carry on being produced just as normal. They swim along the epididymis and up the vas to the site of the vasectomy blockage where they survive for some days then die off. The dead sperms are broken up and absorbed by the body’s white cells which enter the vas through the blood supply to this tube.


Please be specific and give the answer step-by-step.

Refer to an electromagnetic spectrum. \nRadiation is emission and propagation and emission of energy in the form of rays or waves (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=radiation).\nIn other words as long as waves travel there is radiation.\nThere are two types of radiation, the ionizing (harmful) radiation and the non-ionizing (not harmful) radiation.\nYou can see it in a magnetic spectrum. High frequency and low wavelength are those ionizing radiation. High wavelenth and low frequency are those non-ionizing radiation. Penetration of these waves are dependent on their frequencies. High frequencies are able to tranmsmit objects. \nFrom the magnetic spectrum there are different kinds of waves, (from ionizing to non-ionizing) radiowaves, microwaves, infrared, white light, UV, x-rays, gamma rays cosmic rays. These waves travel in a straight line unless scattered by hitting an object or being blocked or interrupted or you know I mean.\nThat's why astronomers detect radiowaves from the outerspace.\nSo if you asked, how does radiant energy reach earth, is simply because they travelled a striaght line from their source.


I know about keeping your eye on the ball but I strike out all the time.It's just slow-pitch but I can't seem to time it right.

Practice ahead of time by buying a softball, rope, and an eye hook.  Screw the eye hook into the ball.  Tie the rope to the eyehook.  Now tie it to an object above your head.  I used a clothesline for my kids.\n\nNow, hit the ball.  As it slows down, hit it again.  You should only hit the stopped ball when you begin.  Not only will you get a feel for hitting the ball, but no one has to chase it.\n\nPS... You may want to add a few drops of glue to the eyehook. That way, if you give it a good whack, it doesn't fly off.


find the in answer in industrial micribiology

Use in pest control\nB. thuringiensis produces crystals of toxin (Bt toxin) that are lethal to larval stages (caterpillars) of the insects which belong to orders Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Diptera, but are considered harmless to most other organisms, including humans. Therefore, the spores of the bacterium and the toxic crystals (that are produced in the bacterial plasmids) are used in crop protection, especially in organic farming, where the use of chemical pesticides is not considered an option. This is done by spraying plants with the bacterium itself, or with an insecticide that contains the bacterial spores. The agent has been available since 1938 in France, 1950 in the USA, and was improved in the 1960s. Today different subspecies are used against the different insects, For instance, Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis is effective against mosquito larvae and some midges. Other variants used are B. thuringiensis kurstaki, B. thuringiensis aizawa, B. thuringiensis san diego, and B. thuringiensis tenebrionis.\nAnother way to protect plants is to create transgenic plants that express the gene for the bacterial toxin, as is currently done in the USA, India, China and Australia for cotton (Bt-cotton), and for corn (Bt-corn) in the U.S. and Canada. This has generated some controversy, especially regarding the ill effects Bt corn was purported to have on monarch butterflies. The emergence of resistance in affected insects is another significant issue.[2]\n\nalso see:

an elastic collision occurs between an 8kg mass moving upward at 20m/s and a 2 kg mass moving downward at 5m/s . how high does the 2kg mass rise above the point of collision. how do i got about answering this question???

KEinitial = KEfinal in elastic collisions.\nSo since KE = 1/2mv^2\n1/2m(vinitial^2) = 1/2m(vfinal^2)\nm1 = 8kg\nm2 = 2kg\nv1initial = 20 m/s\nv1final = 0 m/s\nv2initial = - 5 m/s\nv2final = ?\nchange in displacement after collision 2 = ?\n\n1/2m1vi1^2 + 1/2m2vi2^2 = 1/2m1vf1^2 + 1/2mv2^2\n1/2(8kg)(20 m/s)^2 + 1/2(2kg)(-5m/s)2 = 1/2[(8KG)(0 M/S) + (2KG)(vf2^2)\n1600J + 25 J = 1/2(2kg)(vf2^2)\nvf2 = 40.3 m/s\n\nI can't remember how to find the change in displacement but I think it has to do with the equation Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2a(change in displacement) where a=acceleration


It's not that I'm jealous of him talking to other girls or anything, I trust him and I'm not worried about that.  I'm actually jealous OF HIM.  He's in a great band that is becoming successful and touring, he has an awesome apartment, he gets amazing grades in school, and his parents are incredibly nice and give him money when he needs it! \nI find myself constantly comparing the two of us, and I find it difficult not to because he's the person I'm around the most.  I love him more than anything, I know that we're meant to be together and we will be together forever. \nBUT, my jealous and envy of him is starting to make me resentful and it's hard to be happy for him sometimes when I know I should be!  Is anyone else experiencing this?  What should I do?

be okay with who you are and where you are at in life.  If you love him then there shouldn't be a time where you aren't happy with his success because if you are going to be with him forever then his success is going to be your success.  Don't compare the two of you because it will eventually lead to being apart forever.

I have been using a SANDISK 1.0GB cruzer flash drive to move files from a Mac 9.2 I am borrowing to my windows 2000 pro PC and back again. The key performed great at first. however it stopped working on the Mac. when I plug it into the mac it spends a second "reading" teh key which it identifies with a name the Mac made up that looks like a little box followed by a fragment of a name of one of the folders on the key. Once in the mac the key lights up like gangbusters but nothing I do on the Mac can find/see/access the key. Like I said this worked perfectly up to a couple of weeks ago. all the files transferred are pretty standard. nothing wierd or exotic that could cause the machine to go haywire.

this question is no joke. if you know how to answer this question plaese answer.

If you are a low carb dieter, you most likely were advised to take potassium supplements. This could happen for one or both of these reasons: \n\n1)you are, or want to be in, ketosis (an acidic condition associated with excessiveamounts of ketones in the blood) and ketosis is shown to cause potassiumdeficit; and/or\n\n2) you are dehydrated and dehydration is know to be accompanied with potassium loss.\n\nThere are other factors that can influence your potassium need. You may be experiencing one of these:\n\nadaptation to ketosis, which can lead to potassium conservation by the body. Studies have shown that after five weeks on a very low-carb diet (20g carbs a day) with adequate water intake, potassium concentration in the blood was normal. \ndecrease in food intake (due to decreased appetite),which can return potassium concentration in the blood back to normal. Clinical observation is that potassium concentration increases proportional with theincrease of the energy deficit when calories burnt exceed calories eaten. \nThere is no RDA for Potassium. \n\nOver-the-counter potassium supplements usually contain 99 milligrams per tablet. The average American diet provides two to six grams of potassium per day, so you see how little you can get actually get with these supplements. If you doctor advised you on prescription-strength potassium formula, then by all means, follow his or her recommendation.\n\nIf you have plenty of these foods and plenty of water, you're potassium intake is probably fine:\n\nFish, especially salmon, cod, flounder and sardines \nMeats \nVegetables, particularly broccoli, tomatoes, potato skins, spinach, lettuce and parsley \nFruits (you can have lemons, half of a tart green apple, or a quarter of a grapefruit on a low-carb diet) \nWatch for These Signs of Potassium Deficit!\n\nThe most common symptom of potassium deficit is fatigue; initial symptoms of potassium deficiency include slow reaction, muscle weakness and dry skin.\n\nBe especially attentive to the signs of potassium deficit if you are diabetic, pregnant or suffer from alcoholism.

Any particular levels of math or science EX. Geometry, Algebra, Physics. \n\nAlso, what should I study English wise? Vocabulary? Is there any place I can find out this information?

I just got my scores back from the ACT. I didn't prepare at all and I did fine, but that's because my school helps my test-taking skills. If you know how to take standardized tests then you should be fine. The hardest part on the test for me was the science. It was reading and understanding graphs and data tables in relation to experiments performed. Unless you're a science genius, I would definitely do some of those practice problems.\n\nAlso, if you're not in at least algebra 2 or trigonometry this year, I would also go over a few practice problems, because those subjects are included in the math section. It's also really easy to forget the basics of geometry so you might want to review that as well.\n\nThe English sections were split into English and Reading. The English section gives sentences where you have to find the mistakes. It basically tests your grammar. If you're not good with sentence structure and proper grammar, I would definitely review the basics for that. The Reading section contains about page-long passages that you have to read and then several questions that you have to answer about the passage. It's easy to run out of time on the Reading section so be sure not to take your time.\n\nAlso, if you're taking the ACT with the writing portion, be sure you know how to manage your time during the essay.\n\nI would recommend "The Real ACT Prep Guide" because it's made by the makers of the ACT. Collegeboard.com most likely has all the other answers you need.\n\nI just looked at my scores again and the sections are:\n\n1. English\n     Usage/Mechanics\n     Rhetorical Skills\n2. Mathematics\n     Pre-Algebra/Elementary Algebra\n     Int. Algebra/Coord. Geometry\n     Plane Geometry/Trigonometry\n3. Reading\n     Social Studies/Science\n     Arts/Literature\n4. Science\n5.

It's not so much that people are unwilling to speak Irish - many many people can't speak it at all, even if they learned it in school. Many people have memories of Irish "being beaten into them", or being "forced down their throat", so its no wonder that the language has never caught on when the teaching methods in many cases were so poor. So, when someone speaks Irish to them, it can be embarrassing for people if they don't know what the other person is saying. \n\nAlso, you have the situation where you are speaking to someone who knows Irish, but they might be embarrassed to speak it for fear of making a mess of it. As with all languages we can normally comprehend far more words than we can speak, so understanding something and speaking it are two very different things. \n\nFinally, there is often little point making the effort to speak Irish to someone when you can make your point far more quickly and far easier in the English language, with little danger of them not understanding what you are saying. In the end all languages serve as a mode of communication, and to communicate, almost by definition, you need the active participation of more than one person. \n\nI will say finally well done. It is a beautifully rich language and very much a part of our heritage, and when you can meet like-minded people it can be great fun talking to them "as gaeilge". \n\nI'm Irish, and formerly I was a pretty good Irish speaker. I would be a little bit rusty now though.


say that i want to add up the hours 9 am to 5 pm i know that its 8 hrs total but how do you get excel to compute this

It's quirky, but you can do it...\n\nAll times in Excel are DateTimes, so you have to provide a day. Also, remember that the formatting is important.\n\nIn one cell, put "1/1/2006 9:00 am", in another put 1/1/2006 5:00 pm"\n\nIn a third cell, subtract the second cell from the first.\n\nNow it works, but it doesn't look right because its showing you a date as well as a time. Highlight all three cells, and go to "Format | Cells" and set the format to "hh:mm" Now the cells look like:\n\n9:00 am\n5:00 pm\n8:00\n\nVoila!

I am shocked. My 15 year old neice and her friend came over today and her friend (who is also 15) had a ringtone whenever her cell phone rang and the song on it said the f-word and it was implying sex! I asked her if her parents knew she had that on her cell phone and she said yes! She even said that her dad liked the song! Plus her and my neice were cussing like sailors the whole time they were here. I'm sorry but I'm 25 years old and when I was 15 I wasn't even allowed to watch MTV or listen to Madonna! I was scared to death to say a cuss word and I am shocked that these teenagers thing they are 21 and can do this stuff and their parents don't even care! What the hell is going on?

One look on Yahoo Answers and you'll see the slime that parents are producing today. The number of 12,13,14 and 15 year old's on this site that say they are pregnant or want to get pregnant or are asking how better to give it up for their bF make me want to choke them and their parents to death. These little girls and boys think because they can *uck it and *uck it that makes them adults. NO insurance NO job NO father for their kids NO future NO Nothing. But they sure expect there child support and food stamps. And then the government lets the PUNK guy that knocked her up move into subsidized housing with her and GET HER PREGNANT AGAIN. WTF????


I usually hibernate my pc so I can start work right where I left but recently when I turn it back on it starts but the screen is not showing anything. It turns on and then say it's going to sleep like if the pc is not on. It doesn't happen all the time (so I still can work succesfuly after hibernation) but every now and then, that's what is so frustrating cause you never know if the pc is going to start up or not. Why is it hapenning?

it shouldn't do that, try to unplug the monitor from the pc and then plug it back
