it says that the inserted cd is empty or the cd does not exist.mine is a combo drive.please help.

Ok, that's a "classic" problem, I guess...\n\nI have two solutions...\n\n1) If the CD that you are trying to access is burned, then it's a good chance that the CD was not burned properly. "Not burned properly" could mean one of two things: it wasn't finalized (which really only affects audio CD players) or that the information was not burned to the CD. If the CD wasn't finalized (which shouldn't cause a problem for a computer since multi-session discs which allow you to add data to a CD more than one time play fine "un-finalized") you should re-open the program that you used to burn the CD and finalize it. I am unsure which program you may have used, but the terminology of "finalize" could also be "close session" or something to the effect of "don't allow any more writing of data." \n\n2) You should replace your DVD writer (you said that you had a combo drive?). You don't have to replace the entire computer...that's preposterous and like treating a sore thumb with amputation of the arm. The beauty of computers is their modular make up, where if one thing goes wrong, or becomes obselete, you can just replace that. Don't feel like you were misused by the store or company; these things are made in factories at high rates by machines that may make mistakes from time to time. To me it isn't worth it to try to get it repaired because these things are so accessible to the average joe, that you could probably buy one for less than it would cost to get fixed. \n\nIn the end, computer "problems" are really computer solutions waiting to happen. The more problems that you have and fix, the more you learn...until finally you need no one's help. The next thing that you know, you'll be finding computers to fix...you might even get into computer tweaking and overclocking...\n\nBut let's get the drive right first...:=)\n\nHope that helps...!


I've been with my g/f for 11 years. We aren't going anywhere. We both have professional jobs now and I'm wondering if we should get married for tax purposes. Please no preaching about other reasons we should get married, I just want to hear the financial angle.

Not only will your standard deduction go from $5000 to $10,000, but your exemtion will also go up from $3200 to $6400. Do keep in mind, like already mentioned, that both incomes are counted, not just one.

First go to the instruction sheet that came with your rack. Get the correct measurements(important!), take a tape measure and mark those points, 2nd measure your load bars length, 3rd measure the points mark M1,M2,M3 this give you the correct fitting to the roof. Last place the mounts up and turn the screws for tightness. And don't forget to install the lock units because YOU NEED LOCKS on the rack for safety and security. As a owner of a Q Tower System one last thing after it's up and on pull on the clips with the doors closed. If they move, retighten the screws. \nP.S. What are you carrying on the roof because some roofs have a load limit.


well first i have a blog and am looking for readers the web address is www.xanga.com/miamiredhawxfan. Please note that this is mine and im only in middle school. its kinda obscure and different but it does ok and so far people like it. Please subscribe to it if you find it enjoyable so you can get emails to check it out when i update it\n\n           Well, anyways what i was wondering is what do you think the Saints will do now that they have Drew Brees and Why will the texans go after Reggie Bush when they have a very accomplished and talented running back in dominick davis. Thank You

I think the Saints will trade down to draft a LB, maybe AJ Hawk.  I think they SHOULD take D'Brickashaw Ferguson #2 overall, or trade down to the 4 or 5 spot to get him, but Mickey Loomis is not the best GM on the block.  A 10 year+ left tackle to protect Drew Brees's blindside is an investment worth making in my opinion.\n\nReggie Bush is the biggest impact player to hit the draft in years, and is a playmaker you have to take because of how he changes the game.  The Texans should trade the pick only if they can get offensive line and defensive line help.  Otherwise, Reggie's the impact player they need.


What are the techniques suggested in the process?

It will utilise quantum mechanics. At the subatomic level, matter behaves very differently to classical mechanics that we are familiar with in everyday life. The spin property of particles is not actually the particle spinning like a top, but is a term given to their angular momentum to help explain their interaction with each other.\n\nParticles can only spin in certain allowable directions, electrons have only 2 directions, other particles can have more. The ability to be in 2 spin states at once is due to uncertainty in that the particle could be in either state until it is observed and probability functions are used to describe its state.\n\nSimilarly a particle in a quantum well (a box with walls of electric potential) will move about with its energy in a fashion that can be described by its wave function. At any measurement it will be in a certain point (although with unknown momentum) but it will vary with every measurement.\n\nThese sorts of uncertainties are what are scientists are hoping to use in quantum mechanics. Calculations will actually be performed millions of times simultaneously providing varying results, but favourable probabilities will lead to the correct answer with immeasurably small innaccurary.\n\nPotential methods will utilise the spin magnetic moments of electrons, or the position of valence (outer) or free electrons moving between pairs of ions (charged atoms) accurately positioned in a semiconductor. There is still a lot of work required.


Scott, lord_druid_necromancer, lord_necrolust, and lespaul_atheist (at the very least, at this point) are one in the same, and busy spewing hatred, violence, and profanity all over this otherwise useful exchange of meaningful questions and answers.

Or talk of having "Bob" in your freezer?\n\nYes, some speech and some other forms of expression are protected by the first amendment of the US Constitution. let's make it clear, you are not protected - the speech or form of expression is.\n\nNot only is promoting violence and making threatening statements in violations of the Terms and Conditions we all agree to before using this site, it is also against the law. \n\nJust as it is not legal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater, there are also very clear laws prohibiting the use of violent and threatening language against another, or using obscene language in a public forum (lewd and lascivious behavior?).\n\nI could care less if you disagree with me, and I would not seek to stifle your rights, except when you act contrary to law.

Hi, Ive been on the acne medication Minocylcine since Mid January and it has helped my acne greatly. I did hear that it could possibly stain your teeth however. This morning I noticed that some of my teeth near the gum area were a bit dark. Anyone else have dental issues re: Minocycline?

First of all, the only time you should be concern with tetracycline or minocycline (a tetracycline derivative) is if you are at the age where your teeth are still developing, I personally take minocylcine myself for acne but haven't had that problem since I started taking it when I was 18 years old.  Usually, the recommended age that you can start going on tetracycline or tetracycline related antibiotics is around 12-14 years old since your second molars should have come in around this time already.  Teeth are only affected by the antibiotics when they are in the development stage and is still mineralizing.  Tetracycline or Minocycline cause staining by being incorporated into your teeth while it's mineralizing and thus alter the chemical structure of your enamel and dentin (the two main structures in your teeth).


Apparently now most of the world believe that Islam is a religion of terrorism, and this is because the controlled media worked on it. Like when u quote "Kill disbelievers wherever you find them" from Quran, u'll think it's a general order while if u'll research u'll find that it was an order within a certain war finished over 1500 years ago!And when you read "Disbelievers will burn in fire", this is for Judgement day!! LOL, some people try to make it sound as if Muslims should do this now!! Alas, the arabs now pay money to fortify islam! (Prince Walid from Saudi paid over $20 millions to Harvard to start an Islamic Studies section!).\nOn the other hand, if you researched the Muslims' countries you will find that they mainly teach Islamic studies to fortify the faith in the believers without disgracing Christianity, and the opposite happens in the Churches where they focus on making sure that the christians won't believe ever in islam by teaching wrong ideas!

You have a point there, but I think that this "image" of Islam is because of their belief in a "Jihad" where all who are evil  will be destroyed. Perhaps this is a misconception because in order to achieve "Jihad" (the higher, not the lesser one), one must let go of his/her personal desires and sacrifice one's self for the greater good. People might think that this "Jihad" is in the values of Islam, but if we will look at this matter closely, it really resembles the "Revelation" stated in the Catholic Bible, because both "wars" can only be triggered by God (Catholic) or Allah (Islam). In fact, the word Islam means "peace". I am a catholic and I personally DO NOT BELIEVE everything that the Media tell us. I believe in my faith more than I believe in the media.

Crime is destroying our quality of life in the USA

i say we put on a harsher punishment system such as singapore. its proven it works, and if you know your not sopossed to do something, it would make you think twice before doing it.


To begin, lets break down the two words. The term "Christian" essentially means "little Christ." Christian is the term given to followers of Jesus Christ in the first century A.D. (Acts 11:26). The term "evangelical" comes from the Greek word that means "good news." Evangelism is sharing the good news of the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ. An Evangelical, then, is a person dedicating to promoting the good news about Jesus Christ. Combined, the description "Evangelical Christian" is intended to indicate a believer in Jesus Christ who is faithful in sharing and promoting the good news.\n \n            In our culture today, there are many other caricatures of Evangelical Christians. For some, the term Evangelical Christian is equivalent to right-wing, fundamentalist Republican. For others, Evangelical Christian is a title to differentiate an individual from Catholic Christians and Orthodox Christians. Others use the term to indicate adherence to the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. In this sense, an Evangelical Christian is a believer who holds to the inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and salvation by grace through faith alone. However, none of these are inherent in the description "Evangelical Christian."\n \n            All Christians should be Evangelical Christians. The Bible is consistent in instructing us to be witnesses of the good news (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 16:1-4; 1 Peter 3:15). There is no better news than Jesus! There is no higher calling than to be an evangelist. It is our contention that holding to the fundamentals of the Bible will result in certain worldview, and yes, political beliefs. However, there is nothing about being an Evangelical that demands a certain political party or affiliation. An Evangelical Christian is called to share the good news, to preach God's Word, and to set an example of purity and integrity. If these callings require political action, so be it. At the same time, Evangelical Christians should not be side-tracked into abandoning our highest calling.

I agree with pickabombom. Just ask a question without a sermon, por favor.

Are there actually scientific differences, or is a weed just an unwanted plant?

I think you said it best first: a weed is just an unwanted plant.\n\nDon't believe that crap about a weed just being a plant we haven't found a use for.\n\nI'm a restoration ecologist and I have seen weeds destroy more biodiversity and habitat than ANY other cause.\n\nEDIT: myrtguy: you usually have good answers on these issues but they may be a little misleading here.  Restoration ecologists do a lot more than just working on areas that humans have made a mess of (though you are right - that is mostly what they do).  It is worth mentioning that you would be hard pressed to find ANY area of land that has not been influenced by humans to one extent or another.\n\nYou are also right about plants in gardens but... Many of our most agressive weeds are plants that have escaped from gardens unintentionally (such as Purple loostrife or Leafy Spurge).  Too many nurserys sell these things to coustomers who transport them all over the U.S. (and the world).


Her friend told me she likes me, but she is really shy and i don't know how to bring it up let alone tell her.

she isnt gonna say much cuz shes shy. u need to just ask her. she'll get nervous around u and try to get away if u talk to her like that. when the guy i like talks to me like that it makes me feel like an idiot and i always leave really quick cuz its embarrassing. just ask her. when ur talking. instead of saying dont be shy if u already are friends then ask her if she wants to go out sometime.

For example how much do they pay for a $1,000 debt?

Payment to the agencies usually depends on the "ageing" of the debt - longer the outstanding, higher the percentage demanded by the agency.\nFor 'current' collection - usually it is 1%-2%. For dues older than 90 days (which is almost written off as bad debts)-can go upto 10%.

After my daughter got married, they both turned completely opposite, from being nice to now demanding things from people, her husband always throws "digs" at me when nobody else is around, hence he is never guilty. They have a 1yr daughter and a baby on the way. They put both sets of grandparents on a do not call, no visitation list at the hospital and plan the same for the 2nd baby. They don't allow anyone to take her for a walk or change her etc. Then she TOLD me they were having the 1yr birthday party at MY house. I said NO..don't tell me, ask me! I told her I didn't want it at my house because I have multilple sclerosis and having over 30 people would be way to much for me. So , now...they decided they don't need to talk to me and that they have done nothing wrong. I am at my wits end with them and honestly I can't figure out what made them, esp. my daughter now so disrescpetful to everyone. They won't even allow the baby to use the nursery the in-laws set up for them. Help

WOW...sounds like your daughter and son-in-law are very selfish people. I would give them a dose of their own medicine. You don't have to take that kind of disrespect from ANYONE. I would send your G-daughter a nice birthday card and leave it at that. They will surely run to you when they need something, but don't give in. Let them FEEL how they have made you feel.


I have this friend who really looks GOOOOOOOOOD.... and i wanted to say that he's cute and nice but is deaf, mute and blind?

If he knows how to sign, get a book on signing or you could probably find a tutorial online. Each alphabet has a shape of the hand/fingers to symbolize that letter. It may take some time, but you could learn to talk to him that way. If he actually knows signing, he could feel your hand as you show him. Take your right hand and put your fingers together on your chin. Shape your fingers as if you're holding a marble with all your fingers. Make a circular motion around the face in a counterclock direction, opening your fingers as you circle around. This means beautiful.\n\nAnd by the way...to Mexican Soul, the statement should have been "Helen Keller's son"...since he was so picky about your grammar.

I never watched this show when it was on the air, but am enjoying it now. I especially appreciate the way Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls loved their children with such tenderness and unconditional love. But does anyone know for sure if this is an actual portrayal of the real life Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls, or was that a matter of two actors (Landon and Grassle)portraying their characters in the way they thought they should be portrayed?\n\nPlease ignore the comma above. That was an error that for some reason, I cannot get rid of.

The television series was 'loosely' based on the books.  Several of the stories that happened directly to the Ingalls' family in the first couple of seasons did happen in the books.  I do believe that the way Laura wrote about her parents in the books was accurately portrayed in the series.  They loved their children and would stop at nothing to care and provide for them.  \n\nComparing the Carter family to the Ingalls family is something I've never really thought about.  The only thing I ever really considered was that there was a new family living in the house and I never really liked them as well.  One thing to keep in mind is that the Carter family never existed in the books.\n\nRegardless of what actually happend in the books versus what happened in the series doesn't change the fact that the stories are fabulous and timeless.  And I love nothing more than to come home from work and watch a commercial free episode on PBS.


When I burn songs to Cd's on WIndows Media Player, it burns the songs onto the CDs with different volumes. How do I get the songs to have all the same volumes?

In WMP, click Tools -> Options. Click the devices tab on the top. Find your CD player in the list. Click on it and then click on properties. Click on the quality tab at the top. at the bottom of the dialoge box, there should be a check box for volume leveling. if that doesn't work or that option is not available, download tweakMP from the Windows website. once you download and install that, run it in WMP by clicking Tools -> Plug-ins -> TweakMP. on the CD tab, click the checkbox to apply volume leveling.

I am trying to find a way to get in contact with a friend of mine who joined the army. I'm pretty sure he is in Afghanistan but that and his first and last name is all the information I have. (besides where he is from). ANY help at all would be amazing. Thanks you so much!

If you know someone in the Army, you could send them their name and havem them search the Army personnel database or the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) for their email address. Every soldier has one, it's just a matter of digging around and finding it.

I have Neurofibromatosis. A genetic disorder that causes  tumors to grow on the nerve endings. One out of 4,000 people have this disorder, and it is difficult to meet others who have it. So I was wondering how many people are familier with it.

I have had 6 large tumors removed from my body, and have been thought to have Neurofibromatosis, but all doctors involved in my treatment couldn't agree on a diagnosis.  My tumors have been sent to the Mayo Clinic and the Air Force.  Even they could not provide a definitive diagnosis for me.  The last tumor I had removed was in 1992, and have not had any since.  I guess I shall remain a medical mystery.

You would have seen writers writing at 52x in less than 3 minutes for 650 MB CD. But if you try to copy the same CD again, it won't read the full CD in 3 min. It takes minimum 8 min to 12 min to copy the full contents of the CD.

It is because of the technology called CAV and CLV. \nCAV (Constant Angular Velocity). This uses a constant disc rotation speed, so the data transfer rate will vary from the outer tracks to the inner tracks. So, Outer tracks read at maximum speed and inner tracks at low speed, because the track length is less in inner tracks. \nCLV (Constant Linear Velocity). This adjusts the rotation speed of the disk to maintain a constant data rate. So the data transfer rate will not vary from the outer tracks to the inner tracks and will be constant for both outer as well inner tracks.\nIf your CD-Drive supports CAV only, it will take more time to Read. \nIf your CD-Drive supports CLV, it takes less time to read. \n\nAnd Writers will mostly have CLV for writing and CAV for Reading. And new writers are supporting CLV tech for both Reading and Writing. That is why many writers write faster but read slower on same disk.


The Pythagorean Theorem can only be applied to Right Triangles only.\n\nIn a right triangle, the side opposite the 90 degree angle is called the HYPOTENUSE. The other two sides are called LEGS.\n\nTHEOREM:\nThe square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs. \n\nEQUATION: Supposing,\nc = hypotenuse\na = first leg\nb = second leg\n\nThen:\n\nc^2 = a^2 + b^2\n\nThis is the conventional way of assigning the letters to the sides of the right triangle. However, if other letters will be assigned, then determine which letter will represent the hypotenuse so that its square can be placed on the left side of the equation. The others will be placed on the right side.


we've been dating for about 2 years now. i keep telling him i have to finish law school before we think of marriage.

He shouldn't feel like he needs to marry at a time when you're still in school. If he loves you, he has no need to rush marriage. If he's insecure and needs marriage to assure him, then you're better off without him. Do what you have to do, finish law school. If he's not ok with you trying to create a successful career for yourself, doesn't that say how selfish he is?

In my response to the person asking"no offense to african-americans, but why do you always seem to bring up the issue of being black in arguments" was by no means being rascist. Ky_lok completely missed my point. I was simply stating what has happend to me and my family, and what has happend in "americas" history.these type of incidents if anything always keep me "aware" of my surroundings.  I am not racist. I would like to know your opinion on what I said in response. These are things that I have experienced in my life.  Just because these things were done to me and my family by "white people" has not led me to hate white people. i don't hate anybody. I am disapointed in people who are afraid to exhibit emotional fortitude. the only way to understand each other is to put yourself in their shoes, even if for a brief moment. with this, and only this comes the empathy and understanding to allow us to move forward.

I agree. And NO, you are not a racist. What you are is intelligent, observant and very cognitive of your surroundings.\nMost people, sadly don't have the open minded gift of seeing what others can't.\nCount your blessings that you're not in the mass majority of the population that can't even see their own hand in front of their face.\n\nDon't let other people dictate your emotions sweet pea.  YOU ARE RIGHT ON TRACK!

Work it out now before you get married; things are only magnified after the marriage.  If you can't talk about things now, marriage will only make it worse, not better.  I would go to a counselor.  If he's not open or willing, is he really who you want to spend the rest of your life with?


I saw the Movie "Diary Of A Mad Black Woman" but not the movie "Madea's Family Reunion"  \n\nI have seen all of his (Tyler Perry's) plays on DVD and I thought that they were wonderfully done. I Laughed, I sang, I cried and also got mad. I was talking to the movie, well I mean the play, like I was there as it happend. The plays take you through a gammot of emotions. Thumbs up to Tyler Perry! \n\nIf you havent seen his plays or movies, check them out they are : "Diary of a Mad Black Woman", "Madea's Family Reunion" (both of which have been made into movies), "Madea's Class Reunion" (Play), "Meet the Brown's "(Play), and "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" (Play). \n\nHave you all seen any of these movies and plays?

Yes, i went last weekend. friday 2 b exact.  And n my own words.  It was "Off the Chain""  I highly recommed you checking it out.  If u have seen the plays in person or on did it was great.  i would see it again.  The movies was packed when we went. and my parents went last sunday at midnight and they said it was also packed then.  It was #1 in the box office also.  Check it out and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A few days i wasn't online some of my friends sent me messages. and when i got online in messenger offline messages window came i was reading it i found a necessary work i went and got sign out so now the messages are not available how to view them?

it depends, if you have activated your message archiving and if you already had a previous conversation with any of those contacts of yours then yahoo messenger will save those offline messages, the reason for that is yahoo creates a folder for each of your contacts that you had a conversation with, and once it is able to find a folder with that contact's id then it'll save those offline messages.


How old should a boy start to date girls? \nWhy?

Boys shouldn't date.  Men should.  Dating leads to complicated emotions and commitments.  Maturity helps make those decisions.  So if you think you are still a boy then just go have fun and enjoy life.  If you are a man and you are ready to find a woman... go date.


I ask a friend too sign a witness statement for a case i will be asking the crawn attorney too take with false pertences.

until a guy comes and eats them all up!! well i have a crush on this guy lets say his name is caleb. me and him were joking around in a hang out place, his best friend was watching me and caleb. and then comes and gets caleb by the are and talks to him. i over heard calebs best friend saying  that im too young and that im only in the 7th grade (im really in the 9th grade) so hen Caleb stopps talking to me.(caleb is in the 10th grade)i still like caleb tho. (and i think he still likes me. but hes afraid of what will his freinds think. what should i do

Let Caleb know you are a freshmen and very interested in him.  Maybe just by telling him you are a freshmen may get the message to him that you like him.  Forget about his friend, maybe he was jealous or something.

Combining milk products with grease or excessive fats since it's not an every day thing anymore, results in me having an upset stomach.  I don't seem to have the traditional lactose intolerance symptoms since it's supposed to be within 20 mins to 4 hours after eating.  Mostly, it's 8 hours.

This definitely sounds like gallbladder disease to me.  See your primary care physician sooner rather than later and ask for an ultrasound to rule in or rule out gallbladder disease.  If it's gallbladder disease, waiting is not a good thing.\n\nIn the meantime, while you're waiting to see your doctor and/or for the ultrasound, go on a NO fat diet.  Also, eliminate all tomato and acidic foods.  This helped me to survive while awaiting gallbladder surgery.  If your symptoms all but disappear with the above diet, then it is even more likely that you have gallbladder disease.


I already know all the websites to get templates from and all that stuff..but I need the actual PROGRAM to work with. Please help!!

Microsoft Powerpoint is not FREE\nI Use Openoffice its absolutely free(they even give the program code)\ndownloading is an offense and MSPowerpoint is not worth the bandwidth to download(even to get pirated copy).\nso try-\nOpenoffice\n\n"Viewer"-free cannot edit though\n\nTrial-will get unfunctional\n\nCorel wordperfect office suite-cheaper\n\nhttp://netsum.com free online


I have come across a proof that states -1 = 1:\n\n1. -1 = -1\n2. -1/1 = 1/-1\n3. sqrt(-1/1) = sqrt(1/-1)\n4. sqrt(-1)/sqrt(1) = sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1)\n5. Let sqrt(-1)= i and i^2= -1  thus i/1 = 1/i\n6. i^2/1 = i/i\n7. i^2 = 1\n8. -1 = 1\n\nThis is not correct, why?

in the second step, you completely cahnge the equation...b/c you started out w/ -1=-1, however, in the 2nd step you divided -1/1 and 1/-1, those AREN'T equal\n\nand also the obvious reason that 1 DOES NOT= -1


He has been using for like 12 years or longer--he is ALWAYS smoking it every time I see him. I always hear how bad it is--but it hasn't killed him.(yet-right?)

yes it is that bad worse than coke or heroin.  Do you know what that stuff is made of??? And who would want to put that in their bodies????  P.S.  Yet is the operative word.


my brother says it because i dont drink enough water but a drink lots of water please help!!!!\n\nim am 13 years old

It might be worth checking out if it it could be psoriasis. There is a lot of info on the web, www.psoriasis.org and others. But of course it's better to arrange to see a doctor as soon as you can.


Do you like being one or do you regret it?

Alright, well I dont know if you are thinking about joining the Marines or what, but I will tell you about my experience. I just recieved a medical retirement from the Marine Corps about 6 months ago. I was in for 3years 10 months and 8 days, and did 2 trips to Iraq as a grunt Machinegunner. I will tell you this. The Marine infantry is a different world from the rest of the US military. You fight tooth and nail for everything you get. We live in the worst barracks, have the worst food, and the least time of of anyone in the military excluding SF. We get treated like crap by our own command too. But, we are the ONLY ones that actually deserve the title of US Marines. All the pencil pushers and female wanna be's should have a Navy title and leave the word Marine for the trigger pullers. Tankers, you pull triggers too right, so dont get mad. Grunts live by tanks. Anyway, a good experience, but if one goes the route I am talking about, he'll come out crazy. Oh yeah, they retired me because I took a piece of schrapnel to the brain in iraq. \n                Oorah    Semper Fi


would you ever give an anwer to something even if you didnt know if the answer you were giving was the right one?

not without knowing it is right to a reasonable degree. For instance if this were 1400 and you asked if the world was flat i would say of course but we now know that it is round. Science is constantly changing thier answers to a lot of questions due to the fact that new research is proving them incorrect.


some one told me that it is a scientific fact that everyone eats a bug each night.

yes,in fact the average person swallows 8 spiders in a lifetime.


Do you really believe God? If you do would you be where you are right now?

Yes I absolutely DO believe in God and if I didn't I don't want to know where I'd be!


How Can I Remove This White Space on My Desktop?\nI Tried to Save a Tool and Now I Cant Take it Off

Hmmm. Have you tried changing your desktop picture and see if it works or gets rid of the white space. Seems to me, the background picture is probably causing it or your resolution setting is not working right.


they really do taste a little bit like coconuts since that's what they eat.


Her screen name used to be jodi1111@hotmail.com. Name is Jodi Nasca. Anyone know her

You can search for that friend on the ICQ.Best of luck


Would like to move back to New England. Want to get a job in a higher-ed institution. Currently working for an award winning advertising agency, but also possess an excelent background in the educational field.

You should consider at least writing the first draft yourself.  You know yourself best.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes for your reference:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n4. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n5. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.


To impress people or lure people into liking them.


Usually you can tell by the way a guy treats you. If you talks to you alot and flirts with you, and you do alot together then I am sure he likes you. Just ask him to get together and hang out and do something you both like to do.Then if he agrees it can be a safe bet that he likes you.

How can i get my personal life info removed from the web.As I searched my name n Yahoo 2 links came in the result. how do i get them removed?

If the details are posted on YOUR website, then you can simply delete it.\n\nIf the information is on some other web site,  you can try to write to the webmaster of the site and ask them to remove the specific information, but they are under no obligation to do so, and probably won't.  If you feel the information posted is harassment, or the information is illegally posted, you might have a better case.\n\nif the information you mean is like phone or reverse address search data, there is little you can do except get an unlisted phone number.


I just got my new computer and I have it online, but I need an anti-virus..what are some of the best ones, are there any good ones I could get for free?? Or if I pay for one, which one would be worth the $$??

The Best One by far is Mcaffee hands down. Norton places a heavy "footprint" on your computer everything slows down once it's installed. If you want a headache get Norton. As for Mcaffee? Don't go out and buy it from the store because it also puts too many files on your puter. Go online to their website and download the "Web Version" It's pretty cheap I think 14 bucks a year and best of all it will check for updates on it's own everytime you access the internet. It's quiet, runs in the background and is always up to date. I've tried bunches of AV, and I think this is the best!


I am just want to know of a place for long haul truckers.

There is one north of town off I-5 at Exit 199 called TravelCenters Truck-N-Travel 78. \nDon't have an address for it, just lisitng I-5 off Exit 199, right next door to Coburg.\n\nEnjoy!!


I am currently deployed to Iraq and have strong Christian beliefs unfortunantly I also have a stron sex drive.  I want to know if there is a drug out there that will temporarily but effectively turn off my sex drive

It's best to go to your doctor about this sort of thing, because certain medicines etc can be dangerous to one person, but fine for someone else.

well.. as a matter of fact you have not included details to work with.\n\ntry uninstall yahoo messenger and see if ie works fine. \nif it works fine. then the problem is yahoo messenger. install older version of yahoo messenger from http://www.oldversion.com\n\nif even after uninstalling YM, the computer is still slow, then check for spywares. \n\ndownload some antispyware softwarese from http://www.download.com\n\nhope that helps.


12 acres on interstate 70 next to salina kansas they offered a pittance price, I said no, they said they will take it from me with eminant domain, the property has a dealers license issued by the state of kansas and two off ramps on interstate 70 plus a black top road down the east side called the niles road exit 260 I need knowledge or legal help or someone to help me get the true value of the property ,I will pay a good commission for the right information and help. my email is krh1131@yahoo.com.

You need two things - one, go find an independent property assessor and pay him/her to determine the true market value of the land; and, two, get an attorney and have that lawyer either negotiate the proper price, or to fight the eminent domain action sufficiently so that the court will order the government to pay the fair market value, even if they do take the property.


Even If I doze off for a while it goes erect .

i  . They have negative Enthalpy Heat values.\nii . The products have a lower enthalpy than the reactants\niii. The products are more energetically stable than the reactants.\n\n2) A sample of a metal is heated.Which of the following are needed to calculate the heat absorbed by the sample?\n\ni.  The mass of the sample\nii. The density of the sample\niii.The specific heat capacity of the sample

The guy who answered before was right but i wanna explain it. An exothermice reaction is one in which heat energy is lost to the surroundings, thus at the end of the reaction, some heat would have been lost. For heat to have been lost, the product has to have lesser heat than the reactant.Take not that heat here is the same as Enthalphy.\nSince the Enthalphy heat value = heat of product-heat of reation = a negative number because heat of product is lesser.\nthus the answer is i nd ii\n\n2. To calculate the heat absorbed or evolved in a system, the formulais Q(quantity of heat) = m*c*T, where m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and T is the change in temperature, thuis this three are neede. Density is not important in this calculation\nso the answwers are i and iii


I have been an Army wife for 4 years and and been with my hubby for 6 years. Yes I Love him more, its more like a deeper love. It takes alot of understanding, but its worth every deployment, and every fight over the little things. He is the bravest, most loveing man I know. I thank God every day for bringing him into my life. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!!!!!!!!


As strange as it sounds...I DO think Saddam should be put back in power.\nHere's why.  We had no justification for going into iraq in the first place...people can pretend we did, but we really did not.  Bush USED the 9/11 tragedy as justification for invading their country. \nNext, there are three distinct groups of poeple in Iraq, and no democracy is going to make them get along. The country truly is in chaos.  Saddam was able (albeit with the sword) to keep something of a working country there, not a civil war.\  I don't believe Saddam is a good person or even a good leader, BUT I DONT WANT MY TAXDOLLARS AND THE LIVES OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS IN THE MILITARY LOST TO FUND BUSH'S VENDETTA.\n\nPut Bush on trial for war crimes.


I know all about poker. What others are easy to make websites for?

The best form of affiliate marketing is one that matches your website and one that your audience wants. Success in affiliate marketing is not about joining just any program you can find; you have to choose the one that your audience really wants. For example, a travel website would do really if it becomes an affiliate of sites such as Hotels.com because their visitors are natural users of those companies. \n\nI suggest you first evaluate your audience - what do they want, what are they looking for that you cannot provide but another company offering an affiliate program might. Then look for them and experiment. \n\nYou can find affiliate programs by joining these websites:\n\nCommission Junction http://www.cj.com\nLinkshare http://www.linkshare.com\nClickbank http://www.clickbank.com


I don't care here about answers supporting or insulting Bush.\nI don't know much about that subject and I just want to understand what are the arguments in favour, but overall against that decision (because it's what I don't understand) of letting foreign firms controlling it. We all know USA is number one in controlling strategic matters in foreign countries by the way of its firms. Also I realize many arguments just turn around the terrorist fear, what are the other arguments???

Here is the latests from CNN, it breaks down the situation in greater detail and answers some key questions such as:\n\n\n\nWhy is the DP World/P&O deal controversial?\n\nSo, would DP World be worse at security than other foreign-owned companies?\n\nWhat are lawmakers doing now?\n\nWhy doesn't America run its own ports?


i like my best friend. i dont think she is a lesbian, but she does kid around a lot. one time at a sleepover when we were 15 we were playing truth or dare and i was dared to kiss her. i was surprised when she kissed me back, it was kind of like she was into it.

If your a lesbian and she is not be careful it may just be horse play and nothing meant by it on her part the only way to know is to ask her if she is and how to find love as a lesbian be patient it will find you


I need to have a nice hobby coz I waste my time a lot on silly stuff...I need a hobby that is nice and doesn't waste my time??

I have lots of hobbies. Here's my list: reading the Bible, singing, playing guitar, drawing, painting, stenciling, rubber stamping, reading, writing songs, crocheting, knitting, decorating, walking, riding a motorcycle, camping, fishing, lettering, creating greeting cards, going to rummage sales, and photography. I also like to travel, though we can't afford to go very far. We have a pop-up camper and go camping. We also have a Sheltie and I like to teach her new tricks. I also enjoy helping people, whether it's with a move to a new home or just because they're sad. There's lots to pick from, and there's so much you can do to fill your time. I always suggest getting involved in volunteer work. I volunteer for Habitat For Humanity, helping them with fundraisers, making signs, creating artsy things, and even helping paint the house, among other things. It's fun and very rewarding to see it all come together. Hope this helps you find something. <*)))><


I am a student teacher of a group of 19 9th graders and I need activities to begin my classes.  I have 40 periods to teach. Web addresses will be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot.

In school we did the Roll the head around, bend over and touch opposite toes, and jumping jacks, they good for something fast and get the circulation going. May try some Music in a Boombox the kids like not you!!! ;-D


Ok well this guy who has been temping at our work and finished tomorrow asked me out... I honestly do not find him all that attractive, but he does have a nice personality it seems. He wants to take me to dinner, i think a drink would be more appropriate...\n\nShould i go and give him a chance?

Give him a chance, but be honest with him so you don't raise any false hopes. Good luck~


Which do you think is more gross/ distracting to co-workers? I am so embarrassed and I think it's disgusting but you don't really have a choice when you are sick!

I think it's worse to sniffle. To be honest, I keep sniffling though - I hate blowing my nose in public. I would prefer if people around me blow their nose. It's annoying to hear someone sniffle when you know they need to blow their nose.

...I mean, c'mon....Xenu the galactic soul stealing emperor is the cause of all our pain and confusion?

Apparently this is what they believe, but the good news is that ol' Xenu is no longer a threat to the greater galaxy, at least according to the folks at Wikipedia:\n\nXenu is allegedly imprisoned in a mountain by a force field powered by an eternal battery. He is said to be still alive today.\n\nActually, part of me is a little bit sad if this is "really" true - I'd like to see Tom Cruise and the rest of those Scientologists fight him on some secret asteroid base or something.


does anyone think that people are abusing the report abuse buttons? \n\nI am a writer and thought that this would be a great place to get material. I asked if any teens had embarrassing kissing experiences, and I was reprimanded for soliciting. Soliciting WHAT exactly. This happened to anyone else?\n\nBTW I'm sure this question will get pulled, 'conspiracy of nastiness against Yahoo' but I'd really love to hear other stories.

You have a great point. You REALLY do have to be careful. In my eyes, I don't think that was a bad question and I don't find it to be explicit, but that is JUST me. \n\nI was on one website one time that did not permit any vulgarity or explicit remarks bad words so on and so on and  I was chatting with a guy who was telling me that he was in a wheelchair and I told him that I had another guy friend that was in a wheelchair because he used to be in a gang and he got shot. I got "red flagged" and warned for it, I contacted the website's staff and I said that I got a red flag for talking to a man about a friend of mine getting shot and ending up in a wheelchair. WELL they sent me a message back saying that it is a warning and so on and so forth and it is automatic. \n\nWHAT I AM THINKING....is someone was offended by what you asked (they took it wrong of course) they pushed that little report abuse button and once that button is pushed you get an automatic warning.  Just my opinion. I don't know. \n\nJust for your own sake, be careful. Common sense tells us what is appropriate and not, I personally didn't see your question as being inappropriate, but there is black and white to everything and perhaps for their own safety when someone complains, Yahoo takes care of it according to policy. \n\nI think it's a cute question myself and I bet people had some pretty funny stories to tell :)\n\nI will give your question two thumbs up and Little Cat gives it 4 paws up regardless of what someone else thought :D


I was told that North Americans are mostly Rh+ so Asians like me are discouraged to donate blood because asians are Rh-. How true is this?

There are 4 blood types = A,B,AB and O\nIn these blood types the RH is either positive or negative.\nSo there are 8 different blood types.\nAll humans have the same basic blood types, so transfusions are available after they find the blood type of the person needing it. The exception being O-(neg) blood is universal donor, meaning any one can get it, AB- is universal recpient, meaning they can get any blood type.\nAsians are NOT all rh-.


I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. for a few months, and am in a new relationship (5 months).  The WB has given me more energy, but I seem to be so anxious, and obsessed over my relationship, which is still going good, but has lost that zing--I think I am driving him nuts.  I used to take Prozac, and it really shut up the "committe" in my head, but I didn't like how hard I had to work to have an orgasm.  I am alsdo in Aa recovery, and seeing a psychologist twice weekly.  We are getting to the bottom of some of my childhood motives for current behavior (bottomless love-pit)....but I am crying all the time, worried about everything to do with this relationship.  Unable to concentrate on important things.  Thinking of asking to combine Prozac with Wellbutrin.  Maybe the Prozac will help with the head-chatter, and the Wellbutrin may combat any sexual side effects.  I want to be HAPPY and serene, and not drive off a really nice man.  We are planning on moving in together soon.

Avoid wellbutrin if you can. There are way too many side effects. Take either prozac or zoloft. Zoloft is the best but you have to take enough. They have found that the old advice of "max 200 mg" is false. Some people are fine with 200 or more. Don't worry about orgasms. It sounds like not getting off is the least of your problems.


Has this every happened to you? If yes, share..

yes, it's happened to me but when it happens it just feels weird and really really different. I wonder if it's a completely different feeling than what we normally feel everyday. they should have a name for it besides de ja vu. its just weird. haha.

A piston-cylinder assembly contains water that is cooled isothermally at 100 *C from saturated vapor to saturated liquid while interacting thermally with its surroundings at 25 *C.\n(a). Is the process internally reversible? Explain.\n(b). Is the process reversible? Explain!

Water boils and condenses at 100 degrees Centigrade (100*C) at one atmosphere of pressure.  You have not cooled water but have condensed steam (vapor) by cooling the cylinder.  As heat is removed at 100*C, the piston follows the contraction of the steam but it is not the cause of the condensation (heat is lost to the 25*C heat sink).  Therefore, the piston does no work on the steam and neither adds nor subtracts energy to or from the final hot water.  The process is not internally reversible (like compressing and releasing a spring) as you would have to add heat energy back to the cylinder (perhaps at 175*C?) to produce steam and the (frictionless) piston would move to maintain a balance of atmospheric pressure inside and out as the steam expands.  For the piston to do work on the atmosphere, there would have to be an unbalanced force moved a distance.\n\nOverall, the process is reversible by substituting a heat source for a heat sink provided the liquid/vapor temperature remains at 100*C.


My fiance is a wonderful loving guy, but he is so insecure. We got into an argument yesterday. he was acting wierd and when I brought it to his attention he started asking me a bunch of questions about my job, like what time I go, when I get off. Then he asked me how I was getting along with my boss that I had just started working for the week before. Iw as a little upset but we talked about it. Later that night he was being all cuddly and kissy, but since ihad to get up at 4am the next morn for work, I was unresponsive, not to a point of totally ignoring him, but just enough to imply that kisses were cute but I wanted to sleep. He had the nerve to roll over and say that I must be getting it from somewhere else. Ive been cheated on by past realationships and there no way in hell that I will ever place any body in that position. I How do I convince him that Im never going to cheat on him and make him feel more insecure so he doesnt act like that.

First off, thanks for anwsering my question, i think you could simply handle this one. Just repeat yourself alot! I mean alot. Tell him you love him and how sexy he is all the time, and maybe put one or two guys down for his benefit. I've been in your fiance's position once or twice, and all i needed was to hear it and as far as im concerned they never cheated.


anyone know a donald stimpson or stempson i have been looking for him he is like a lost freind of mine and is supposivly living in california??? if you know em report it here~

The Sacramento Bee (the local newspaper) reported of a Donald Stimpson being arrested for soliciting an undercover police officer for gay sex in a public restroom near the state capital building about five weeks ago.  He was dressed in women's underwear, a bra, and wearing lipstick.  He said he was from out of state, but I cannot remember where he said he was from.  You can check the archives of the Sacramento Bee to find the details of the story.  Good luck.


do u think its dangerous .tell me if u think i put 2 much personal information on my profile .http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=48920957

first off you talk about how you want your myspace to not be dangerous to yourself. SO you post your url for everyone to see. this shows that you do not know how to be safe with myspace. stop giving out ur URL, don't add people that are not your real friends in real life. and another thing i didn't think of is telling what school you go to. if you tell and someguy decided to stalk you after school, they know exactly what you look like. problem is that all the stalker would have to do is look at your friend's profile and find out what school you go to.\n\nthis what i think about the "dangers" of myspace:\n\ndo not:\n*add friends that you do not know in real life, delete people that you do not know in real life.\n*do not post information that could help someone find you\n*do not post what school you go to. they know your picture, and your school, all they have to do is find your school and go there and look for you there. can you say rape?


10 points goes to the best answer to this question.\n\nI have to solve a system of equations and also find distance on the TI83 calculator. I need to know how to solve these equations on the calculator, but I will also grant the points to the person who can tell me how to do it by hand. \n\n- I don’t just want the answers. I would only like to know how to solve these equations on the TI83 or by hand.\n\nHere are the two equations.\n\nDistance problem:\n\nFind the distance between the points (2, -1) and (-3, 8); show your answer in simplified form.\n\nSystem of equations problem:\n\nx - y =3 and 2x + 3y =11\n\nRemember: I don’t just want the answers. I would only like to know how to solve these equations on the TI83 or by hand.\n\n10 points goes to the best answer to this question.\n\nI will reward the points as soon as possible.

For the distance problem, you simply use the distance formula:\nd=sqrt[(x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2]  \nwhere (x1,y1) is your first set of quardinates:(2,-1)\n(ie x1=2 and y1=-1)\nand where (x2,y2) is your secound set of quardinates:(-3,8)\n(ie x2=-3 and y2=8.)\n\nSo we would have:\n\nd= sqrt[(x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2]\nd= sqrt[(2-(-3))^2 + (-1-8)^2]\nd= sqrt[(5)^2 + (-9)^2]\nd= sqrt[25 + 81]\nd= sqrt(106)\nd= 10.296\n\nFor the system of equations, you would solve for x in the first equation, and then substitute that value into the second equation.\n\nlike this:\nx-y=3\n +y +y\nx=3+y\n\nthen you take the second equation\n2x + 3y=11\nand substitute your answer for x (x=3+y) into the x in the second equation. \n(x gets replaced by 3+y)\n2x+2y=11\n2(3+y) + 2y=11\nthen you solve for y\n2(3+y) + 2y=11\n6+2y + 2y=11\n6+4y=11\n4y=5\ny=4/5 or 0.8 which ever you like best, but remember fractions are our friends!\n\nanswering these on the calculator would be difficult and require some work by hand anyway, so its easier just to solve these by hand.\n\nI hope that helps.

It seems that whenever I am speaking to a Christian, it is impossible for them to rationally defend their theology without resort to the Bible.\n\nI would be OK if all they did was talk about what Jesus taught. But instead, all I get is, for example: St. Augustine interprets what Paul said about what Jesus taught as so-and-so.\n\nAre there any Christians that ONLY use the teachings of Jesus as their guide?\n\nI've been studying world religion for 20 years, and I just don't get it.

Christians can only defend their religion with what Jesus taught.The basic belief of every Christian is that they believe in God and His son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.What they rely on interpretations is substantiate the substitute beliefs .For eg.the benefits of intercession.But as for me,the belief in Jesus is the primary belief.


Are there more than just simple causality?

1) You can't change a past event, that's nescessary for you to be able to change that past event. (You can't kill your distant ancestor)\n2) You can't go experience a future event, that requires someone from that future event to change your present event. (In the 'Planet of the Apes' movie series, Caesar went back to his past, and started an ape rebelion that built the world that Charleton Heston visited when he went into his future)\n\nBut how would you know? Changing the past or the future might create a tangent universe, that we can't experience.


No, it is not easier than it sounds. I will not even begin to make the statement "it is easier than it sounds". First off there are so many variables in each individuals life, I would really need to sit down with you and go over many differant aspects of your daily living enviroment, your home, work, family, freinds, etc to get an idea of what you are facing.\n\nIf you are living in an atmosphere which lacks any true acceptance of you exactly the way you are right now, then your job is much more difficult than most will understand. If you are one of those lucky individuals who are excepted, regardless of size or weight, then your job will be a bit, and I stress "a bit" easier than for someone living without that acceptance. Even if you are extreamly accepted by your husband/boyfriend/significant other, family and friends, you do NOT accept yourself, or you would not be here asking this question. \n\nFirst off, do you really need to lose weight? And if so, is it a large amount or a smaller amount? Do you find yourself to be attractive, in even some small way, or do you think you are compleatly unattractive as a woman? Do you feel that others actually "see" you when they look your way, or do you feel as though others are looking right through you?\n\nThese questions are important, as your state of mind is 90% of the battle in weight loss. If you have a deep feeling of worthlessness as a woman and as a human being, it gets very difficult to do anything, let alone start a demanding 1,200 diet deprevation and an agonizing hour workout.\n\nlets start more slowly. Will you see drastic results? No. However, I can promise you WILL see results if you are just a tiny bit patient. You see the more overwieght you are, the quicker your scale moves. It takes longer for others to see the loss, but what is important in the begginning is for YOU to see the loss. The loss is MOTIVAVATING!! \n\nIt is medically unhealthy to limit a womans diet to only 1,200 calories. Getting down to a healhy weight loss diet of 1,700 is what is reccomended by Doctors who are into keeping their patients alive and kicking, preferably kicking a ball, rather than passed out on the street from a lack of proper nutrition and a starvation diet. Starvation diets also have been shown medically not to WORK!! So don't go there. \n\nHowever, diet and exercise are the key. Like I said earlier though, 90% of the battle is in your head, mental not physical. You need to allow yourself to forgive nature/nuture/lack of proper exercize and a bad diet for getting you to where you are today. Did you know that nearly 95% of overweight individuals eat LESS than their slimmer counterparts? Its true. Genetics are responsible for most over weight today. Genitics and a much more sedentary lifestyle. 100 yeas ago, we did not have fatty, sugar laden proccessed foods, that are so easy obtained, and we worked our butts off, literally!! We did not have dishwashers, washing machines, nor stores to get our daily food supply from. NO we worked for all that, we made our food and worked our tails off in doing so.\n\nSo, 100 years ago, not only would you have not had all this proccessed fatty/sugary foods, you would have been working from dawn till dusk just to put ANY food on the table at all, plus there was the making of clothing, washing and mending those clothes. If a woman was overweight 100 years ago, she was considered rich enough to have maids do all that work for her. In fact, 100 years ago, heavy women were considered beautifull. If only we lived then. Well, a nice dream, but just my luck I would have been a milk maid and not the matron calling for tea from the sittingroom maids!! LOL \n\nAll thay aside, it is garanteed you will lose a pound for each 1000 calories you cut from your diet. When you tnink abuot it that is not too onoriou8s to accomplish. I changed by regular coffee sugar to those imatation packets ( buy the generic at walmart, much  cheaper and

I was diagnosed and treated for clinical depression. I thought I was fully recovered, but really I am not and I have never admitted that to anyone. How can I help myself enjoy my life, I don't allow myself to enjoy or be too happy about things as I am always waiting for the next bad thing to happen in my life. I really did think there was light at the end of the tunnel but is there? Does anyone else feel like this?

Hello! Am not sure whether I have suffered from clinical depression but there were times where I have been very depressed. Have never taken any medication but to talk during psychotherapy has helped me a great deal. Never wanted to talk to anyone else neither but, well, sometimes they noticed it and I did not want to be a burden to them. I suppose feeling depressed can become a kind of comfort zone and one needs to break out of the cycle and stop telling oneself that one must feel depressed. Like others, I think it is very important for you to explore why you are feeling this way. Does it come from a lack of self-esteem? Does your past sometimes catch up on you? The source below might help you to cope with the depression better but, yes, I think as well that you should talk to a professional about how you are feeling. Please take very good care!


It opens, and closes fine. The led that says it's working turns on when i put inside a CD, but when I try to acces and see what's inside any CD, tha computer says the device isn't ready?\nI have no Virus (or at least AVG says so), and no spyware (Ad-aware says so).\nPLEASE HELP! Other options to check?

Go to the device manager by right clicking My Computer and select "Manage", then on the pane on the left in the list find and click on "Device Manager", then in the window on the right look for DVD/CD Drives or somethin like that and click the "+" sign to expand.\n\n  If there is a question mark next to the device (the drive your having trouble with) then that means something is wrong, in any case I would sugest downloading and installing new drivers. You can search for the latest driver for your device on the manufacturers web site of your device, download the right driver and save to the C drive or desktop (just to make it simple), double click your device in the device manager window, then click the "Drivers" tab, then click the "Update Drivers" button, select the "No, not this time" radio button and click "Next". then select the "Install from a list or spacific location(Advanced)"  radio button and click next, then go to where you saved the driver you doenloaded from the manufacturers web site and double click the driver (make sure it unzipped if it came in a .ZIP file), and hopefully that will help.\n\n If that didnt work then it may not be plugged in securley or the Drive is bad and will need to be returned to the store you bought it from. GOOD LUCK!

there are alot of things that factor in on your question A. are you eligible for financial aid yes you can get financial aid even for schools to get your cdl i got a grant for mine the total cost of the school was 5,000 dollars the grant covered the whole cost B. alot of companies will actually hire you and send you to a school of their choice and pay the tuition so if this is a route you want to take explore your options some companies also do tuition reimbursement there are alot of different "roads" you can take to minimize or get rid of out of pocket expense good luck to you


i am 21yrs old and my son is turning 4 in june. \ni still have milk inmy breast, when i squeeze it milk comes out sometimes it's just this watery liquid, i don't understand. i have no feeling in my breast sometimes, the only time my nipples would hardened is when i'm cold, otherwise than dat nothing

Sometimes a growth on the pituitary gland, which is in your brain, can cause such symptoms.  It could be many other things, as well. You really need to talk to your doctor and have it checked out.  If you don't have insurance, try Planned Parenthood.  Good luck.

I'm currently TTC, but an opportunity has come up for me to spend a month in India, doing a yoga instructor training course. I practice yoga every day right now, and I'm in excellent shape... Anyone have experience with this?

With any exercise, if you were doing it before you were pregnant, you can continue while you are pregnant, as long as it isn't high impact.  Continuing Yoga would be great for your pregnancy and with giving birth.

I love someone, a lot. I think about them non stop. I want to tell him. But, I dont know how. What is the best way to tell him, without scaring him? I am fairly certain he feels the same way, but not 100%.

Take it from someone how has been married 17 years. Also a marrage advicer. It all depends on if your old fashion or not. Meaning that the guy ask you out, ask to marrage, etc. If not then do not be shy, and tell him how you feel. Guys know days are shy will not ask or reveal there real fellings. Sometime the female needs to make that first step. The worest thing that could happen is him not having the same feelings. But if you are sturent that he feels the same way go foe it. But if you do not go for it, there is a possiblity that he my not think you have feels for him and fined another Girlfriend. If you are old fashion, then get with the 2100 centurey and do I said in the above statement.  GOOD LUCK

This man has been married six times. He acts like the "man of your dreams" for bout 3 or 4 months, but can't keep up the act. He is a liar and a thief. A control freak. He is perverted to the point of being disgusting. He should not be allowed around children. I have just described an evil man. Do you think he can be helped with psychiatry?  He doesn't think he has a problem.......

Please....please be careful around this kind of person.  Their destructive behavior often spills over to the others around them... BE CAREFUL.\n\nIf he is doing anything illegal, you should report him to the authorities...especially if it concerns children.\n\n"Man of your dreams" is a mistake to be looking for to begin with.  What you should be looking for is a strong, devoted, honest loving man.  If you think he was these things in the beginning, then you should consider looking at you ability to "read" other people.  Your judgment must have been clouded, or the sex was good...or who knows, maybe he just prays on lonely women.\n\nAnyway, you should get away from this guy as soon as possible and not look back.  Inform the authorities if needed and try to get your life back on track.\n\nGood Luck, God Bless ... and stay strong.

Do you have to go to Church and get Baptized?\nNo... you don't... but you probably should!\n\nIn order to receive the Grace which Jesus taught us of and to have the Grace of God work miracles in your life, you need salvation - you need to be "Born of the Spirit".\n\nYou will be born of the spirit when you ask for God's salvation, understand that the sins you have committed stand in your way and admit you are not strong enough to answer for your sins without Jesus' help. Your ability to feel the Grace working through you will then be equal to your Faith in the Grace and your dedication to do your best to live a sinless, fruitful life.\n\nYes, you could do this all on your own through great meditation, prayer and humility... but there is another factor which greatly decreases your ability to achieve the greatest results possible... and that is what you want, right?\n\nCan Church help you here?

Jesus Christ said Himself that if we LOVE Him, we WILL DO as He commands. If you don't want to go to church and be baptized, then you have to ask yourself, "do I really love Him?" \n He did not only command us to be baptized, but He got baptized Himself. So there: walk in His footsteps. How else can you live for Him than by obeying Him??

Without knowing what country or city he is located in it is hard to say.


Would you go in ? Or would you try to get out of it & leave the Country ?

I would not go and I would not leave the country. I'm just too old to be drafted. Besides, I already did my time in the Navy.


Please anyone who knows what that means, say me. I'm not of U.S.A. and I want to know what that means. Thank you.

oooooook? let see how to explain this hmmmm i got it! have you ever heard of slang before like whats up? well its like that except for you are calling someone a name. dont take any offense to it.


my friend always goes out w/ older guys..n recently she met this guy who is around 3 years older then her...at first everything was ok..but now i thik hes abusing her.....but she wont leave him.....i would rather u email me comments becuse i think she also uses this site.....and  i dont want her to see everything yet. ...cuz i plan to tlak to her after i get help :)\n\n\nthanks\n\n\nthefashionqueen01@yahoo.com

Ask your friend if everything is ok and explain your fears to her.Tell her you are concerned for her safety and you dont want anything bad happening to her. Tell her that if he is abusing her then you and her can go and get help together as a team and that everything will workout for the best.\nI hope everything works out.


Okay, so I like this guy... It first started when I came to my school, he isn't in my class, but we see eachother alot. Anyways, well it turns out his sister is my sister's friend, and when they were talking on aim his sister told my ister that he wanted my aim address, so she gave him it. Well, later I found out. So during school, I couldn't help but find out who he was, because I had no clue. When I found out thats when I started noticing he was staring at me alot, and so soon I had crush on him. Then, a week later, I found out he likes another girl, so I am really sad... But I don't know if he still likes me, because he still stares at me and stuff. But it is really awkward for me to be around him, because I think my sister told his sister and his sister told him...\n\nWell, any advice?

I think you should just ask him why he's staring at you, and if he doesn't tell you then just either ignore it or have your sister ask his interestif she told him, or if she knows anything about what's going on.\n\nAlso if he likes another girl (are you absolutely sure? if he told you then that's basically the end of it, but if someone else told you then it might not be true.) then you shouldn't think about him and you should try to move on, because you never know... there might be someone else that likes you, and you haven't noticed because you're focusing on him too much.\n\nAnother thing, if he keeps on staring at you, and not talking about it or not explaining himself, then he might not have a purely romantic intrest in you, and he might be looking for something else, (especially if he likes another girl...) and you should definitely try to get to the bottom of it, or completely forget about him.

Please be brief but convince me (us) that your story is legit.  Looking for events unexplainable by known natural phenomenon or possible conventional aircraft.  Looking for dates, places, multiple witnesses, credibility of reporter, etc.

I'm very much a realist, but I have one story I cannot expalin.\n\nI was watching what I thought was a helicopter off the coast of Maine.  It was hovering and slowly moving around an island roughly seven miles away.  It was late afternoon, so the light was fantastic and the air, for once, was very clear.\n\nThis object slid back and forth maybe 3000-4000 feet high (triangulate from the distance) and then it did two strange things:  it sort of oscillated in a tight radius back and forth, like lint getting sucked down a bath drain, and then it just winked out of sight.  It didn't exactly disappear all at once, rather, it kind of took a moment or two.  I thought it might had slipped into a fog bank, but there was no fog; I could see distant color in the sky.\n\nI don't think about this experience so much anymore.  But I do get chills when I do recall that day.  I have no explanation, and I offer no theories.  But that's my story.


card co. will not accept my full balance and interest rates are too high with current co. have asked them to lower rates and they wont.My credit is great. interest is killing me. HELP!!!!!My balance is in the neighborhood of 7,500.

if you are able to get a credit card from another credit card company with the promotion of transferring balance with low rate or 3.99% or 0% (promotion usually end in 6 months), then you can cut your interest at least 6 months. Also, if you have line of equity and you can use that to cover your credit card balance instead (assume you don't have more bills from credit card company). Line of equity interest usually lower than credit card interest a lot. However, if you cannot get either of the suggestion works for you, then you're better not to use that credit card again until you pay it off. You have to pay it more efficiently, like to pay triple of the minimum amount, or lump sum payment if you can to cut back the principle you own.


I am buying a reconditioned computer and it has no sound card. I would like to have sound. But I know nothing about buying one or putting it in. Any help would be appreciated.

Simple .. Open the side of the case pop the sound card in one of the PCI slots (White slots about 10-15CM long) all PCI cards will fit all PCI slots , if its a desktop case make sure to get a half height card.


XHTML is just HTML with strict formatting rules. An XHTML webpage won't be parsed if it has any errors in it, such as missing closing tags, just like an XML file. That's about the only real similarity. XHTML webpages run onb mobile devices like phones because they don't need all the extra memory required to compensate for formatting errors. A .wml file for instance used is written using XHTML and can be accessed by mobile devices.\n\nXML is usually used as a type of format for databases. Data from an XML database can be easily linked to a table for display on a webpage. XSL and XML files can be used together to make a webpage.\n\n\nhttp://webdesign.about.com/cs/xhtmlxml/a/aa013100a.htm


In short chain alchohols the hydrogen bonding is more extensive and in long chain it is less {because of steric hinderance}.Now, when you add alchohols to water ,the already existing h-bonding in water is broken.Now,the short chain alchohols can form h -bonds with water compensating for the broken ones and hence can remain in solution and hence are more soluble.The long chain ones form less amount of h-bonding with water and hence are less soluble .\n\nh-bonding are favourable interactions for forming solutions taking entropy conditions \n\nhope this answered your question


aspirin and their bond angles when dealing with the molecular structure

Every bond angle in aspirin is 120 degrees, with the exception of the bond angle around the oxygen that comes off the benzene ring ortho to the carboxylic acid and the bond angle of the oxygen in the hydroxyl group of the carboxylic acid. Those bond angles are approximately 109.5 degrees. Also the methyl group of the ester is CH3 and the angles around the methyl carbon are 109.5 degrees.

If you are not in the military how would you go about being taught these dames skills?

Black ops is a division of the CIA and they recruit from many different specialties. Quite often though, they look for men who have special forces background with the Delta Force being the peak of that career. Delta force men have to complete a forty mile hike while navigating through and over rugged mountains with a very heavy backpack, they have to learn CIA "tradecraft" (lockpicking, shadowing people, making dead drops, losing someone who is tailing them) and for a final exam, have to be dropped off in a city with no money or valuables and are given three days to get to another city 2000 miles away.


did you grow further apart? did you maybe grow closer than before? did anything change once you had kids?

Gross Domestic Product components\nThe measure of the USA's output of goods and services is calculated by the Commerce Department using the following items: \n\nPersonal consumption \nGovernment expenditures \nPrivate investment \nInventory growth \nTrade balance \nThe GDP is calculated using a "chain-weighted" method. The system is recognizes business has been globalized, deregulation is increasing business activity and relative prices for goods change quickly and dramatically. The "chain" system also recognizes that output for computers, telecommunications equipment and health services is growing much faster than other parts of the economy. The "chain" method forces the government to recalibrate the relative prices of these goods - and their relative importance to the economy - every year.\n\nGDP can be expressed as:\n\nGDP = private consumption + government + investment + net exports \n(or simply GDP = C + G + I + NX)

The image in mind comes from the book A Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Attwood. My conncern, as Emily Rose pointed out is that with increasing power given to fundamentalist Chrisian movements, the erroding  wall beween Chruch and State, the Faith Based Initiatives, and the culture war on abortion...are we headed for a church-influenced totalitarian society? \nI do not mean to attack Christians, I am concerned about the idea of  any religious institution having greater control over the majority population through undue influence.\nAre we facing religious wars here, similar to what happened in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries?\nI keep in mind the sentence in the Bill of Rights that says Congress shall make no law..."

I'm not sure that theocracy is quite the right word for where I'm worried we're headed (even though I did use it in my previous post), but there is definitely a significant population of Christian extremists who are trying to errode the separation of church and state.  Look at abortion, gay marriage, censorship of the media, abstinence-only education, etc.  People quote the BIBLE as justification for banning abortion, for banning gay marriage, for restricting content of television and radio programs, for banning books from schools, for teaching kids only abstinence by way of sexual education.  Sure they have the right to practice Christianity, but what about MY right NOT to be Christian?  If citizens want to push for laws that reflect their religious beliefs they have every right to, but when judges and legislators start making decisions that favor the minority of Christian fudimentalists over the general population we're in trouble.  The current adminstration has made numerous attempts to circumvent the constitution and give money to Christian organizations, and that's more than a little troubling.  I don't like how much political power the Christian Church is gaining.  In order to protect our constitutional right to freedom of religion, no religious institution should have a significant influence in politics.\n\nAnd before anyone jumps in about "separation of church and state" not being in the constitution, I realize that these are not the words that appear in the first ammendment.  However, the first ammendment states "congress shall make now law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."  That means know giving money to religious establishments (as this is done via the budget which is a law, albeit a short-lived one) and no favoring the beliefs of one religion over another.  If you stop and think about it for two seconds, all congress can actually do is pass laws, and since those laws cannot be about religion, "separation of church and state" is just a more convienent name - the principle is definitely in the constitution.


I have to do a research about those three things. Can somebody help me, please???

Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. the formula is Density=Mass over Volume


The relative differnce in gas concentrations.  Thus, if the concentrations are nearly equal, there is a slow rate.  This is true for nearly all rates, for example, if you have ice at 0C, and put it in a refrigerator at 4 C, it will take a long time for the ice (water) to become 4 C.  Thus, say 2 or 3 hours to just move 4 C.  But, if you take ice at 0 C and put it in a room thats 40 C, it'll warm 4 C within a few minutes.  The controlling element is the relative difference between the two levels.


Since the RIAA are the ones suing people over piracy, is it legal for me to download songs put out by non-members of the RIAA over Limewire? \n\ngo to http://www.magnetbox.com/riaa/\n\nand search "In Flames"\n\nIt says 'safe, meaning the label is non-RIAA.  So if I download any In Flames song, the RIAA cannot sue me, right?

The RIAA may not own the rights to the songs and thus may not be able to sue you, but that doesn't magically make it legal.  It's still just as illegal, you're just less likely to get caught.


What can a PKU patient eat?\nWhat can't a PKU patient eat?\nHow does a PKU patient control his disease via diet?

Phenylketonuria (PKU) diet\n\nA low-protein diet is the main treatment for phenylketonuria (PKU). This is because people with PKU lack an enzyme to properly process the amino acid phenylalanine, a component of protein. PKU diets generally do not contain high-protein foods such meat, eggs, and nuts, or bread and wheat products.\n\nThe PKU diet may result in certain nutritional deficiencies. It is important that everyone with PKU see a specialist for nutritional counseling. This is especially important for those considering pregnancy.\n\nRead food labels carefully. Phenylalanine is present in all protein foods and in some nonprotein foods, such as soda pop and artificial sweeteners (for example, aspartame [such as Nutrasweet]). All foods that contain phenylalanine should have "contains phenylalanine" on the label. http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/ug1465\n\n What is Included in a Low Phenylalanine Food Pattern?\nThe diet for PKU consists of a phenylalanine-free medical formula and carefully measured amounts of fruits, vegetables, bread, pasta, and cereals. Many people who follow a low phenylalanine (phe) food pattern eat special low protein breads and pastas. They are nearly free of phe, allow greater freedom in food choices, and provide energy and variety in the food pattern. \n\nWhat is Not Included in a Low Phenylalanine Food Pattern?\nFoods that contain large amounts of phe must be eliminated from a low phe diet. These foods are high protein foods, such as milk, dairy products, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, beans, and nuts. These foods cause high blood phe levels for people with PKU.  \n \nA low phe diet helps most young adults with PKU to feel better and improves attention span, concentration, and memory. In general, young adults who have made these changes report that they think and feel better. The effort that it takes to bring down blood phe levels is well worth it for everyone, no matter how long they have been "off diet." \nhttp://depts.washington.edu/pku/diet.html
