Where could I find some good material on that topic?

"Fox Force Five" Fox as in a bunch of foxy chicks. Force, as in a force to be reckoned with. Five, as in there's 1...2...3...4...5 of them. The blonde one, Sommerset O'Neal is the leader. A Japanese one, a black one a French one and a brunette one. All have special skills. Sommerset has a photographic memory, the Japanese fox is a kung fu master, the black girl a demolition expert, the French one's specialty is sex. The brunette, Raven McCoy, her background was she was raised by circus performers. So she grew up doing a knife act. She is the deadliest woman in the world with a knife. But because she grew up in a circus, she is also something of an acrobat. She can do illusions, she's a trapeze artist--when you're keeping the world safe from evil, you never know when being a trapeze artist's gonna come in handy. And she knows a zillion old jokes her grandfather, an old vaudevillian, taught her, and a gimmick of the show would be to work in a joke in every episode.


why ran all programs, spy, norton, ad-ware, defrag, unhooked cable modem, disc clean up,took off yahoo tool bar, all i can think of. and yes all the updates.

Try doing some maintanece on your computer.\n\nGo to "All Programs"\nClick "Assessories"\nClick "System Tools"\n(Do the following tasks one at a time, or you'll overload your system)\n\nFirst, clean out your sytem by clicking "Disk Cleanup". If you have more than one hard drive clean out each one. This gets rids of unnecessary files and also spyware your scanning programs might have missed.\n\nWhen you are all done with this, go back to "System Tools" and click "Disk Defragmenter" This program moves around your files so that they can runs better and keeps things from crashing. If you have never defragmented your computer(which ought to be done about once a month) it make take an hour or more.\n\nYour computer should work better after these steps. If it does not, check to make sure that your processor is new enough to handle the software you are using.

HE IS NOT A COUNTRY SINGER!!!!!!! just wonderin if anyone else has heard of him and thinks hes amazing like i do

he's SOOOO GOOD! EVERYONE SHOULD HEAR HIM!!! GO BUTCH!


we both(21) belong to conservative families.and r both engineers

If your love is strong and you feel like fighting for him, I think it's time you make a stand. \n\nSometimes in life, you have to give importance to your needs. Not what your parents or the society thinks. Do you think, you'll be able to forget him and live with somebody else the rest of your life?\n\nPersonally, I would feel incapable and weak If I did that.  Try to make people around you understand that you won't be happy with another person of your religion.  If your happiness means something to them, they'll compromise.\n\nIt's wise to avoid conflicts by both of you not asking to change another (typically religion). If nothing works, go and settle down in a place far away to try to establish peace after a while with your families. (This is, only if you aren't left with any other option)


i don't know how to iceskate or rollerskate.  will it take a long time to learn?

You can do it.\nBut if you neever have is better to have someone with you!\nYou know how did I learned? Rollerblading on a carpet!!!\nThe fabric doesn't make the wheels turn much, so it's great to practice your balance with the blades. Try it!\nThe thicker and longer the hair is in the fabric, the harder it would be for the wheels to turn. If you have different kinds of carpets, you can go from thicker and longer to shorter and the on to the floor.\nYou'll see how great it works!\n\nGoodluck!


What will be the punishment? fine? jail?

If the tenant still had a lease on the property and landlord didn't provide sufficient notice of entry to the property, then the landlord would be trespassing regardless of whether or not the tenant was actually occupying the property. Under the law, the tenant had the right to be there, and the right to receive notice of the landlord entering the premises. \n\nI'm not sure what the punishment would be. Given the facts, it'd probably be worth getting a lawyer and trying to get the case dismissed.


who would you follow more your heart or mind ?

My heart matters,but it must be the mind that makes the ultimate decision.I say this particularly for those like me who are very sensitive and emotional.It would be easy at times to listen to only my heart,but that can cause too much impulsivity.


I really like this guy and he told me he really liked me. After we slept together and spent the day together he never rang me. Then it all happened again and he never called me (I know stupid Bitch) but i really liked him and he's in the same circle of friends as mine now and even my friends said he didn't seem like that type of guy. I WANT REVENGE ON THE LITTLE PRICK.... HELP ME

The best way to treat this guy is to act as if he had never happened. Treat him like he is one of the guys. When he or if he approaches you about sex again, let him know you are not interested(like the sex didn't mean anything to you).Make him feel as if he was just accessible in your time of need. That should either make him feel like sh*t or show you he didn't care in the first place.


I believe it doesn't. I believe the number zero is used as an appoximisation for numbers that are close to zero. The only time zero can be used exactly is in a scale or as a frame of reference(such as temperature). In real & absoulte  terms i dont think you can say there is ever an absolute zero of anything.\n\nFor an example, one might say there are zero apples on Saturn. But this wouldnt be correct as if you look at what an apple is composed of on a molecular and sub-molecular level, you would find some of these same elements on saturn, so there is a percentage of apples on saturn.\n\nThis is a theory that i thought up when i was back at school, i've never heard the same theory before and ive yet to find someone who can demonstrate a way in which zero does exist (in a real & absolute way)\n\nIf zero were proven not too exist this would have extreme ramifications in both science & mathmatics.\n\nCan you think of a situation where Zero really does exist and prove my theory wrong?

In scientific explanation\nThe basic particle of a matter is atom. Its also divisible but then the properties of that matter will not remain.\n\nThere can also be said every matter is from electron, protons and charge less neutrons. But then it will be devised into light.\n\nIf you look in the vacuum(absence of anything), it should be neither atom nor protons nor something...it should be "ZERO"(which is used to prove a decision "False" or absence of anything).\n\nSay "you have no answer".\nThat means you have zero answer.Think of it, keep trying and make another theory. :-D


What did he talk about when he was on the show last week on Friday?

Yes, I did.  Go to youtube.com and type in "Zac efron on regis and kelly" and you'll see the whole interview!!!


Somewhere in history and time, the human race can't account for the loss of 10 days. That means that the time as we know it today isn't accurate yet we put up with it. By the way, the Mayan calendar that ends in 2012, means nothing to the human race today. It only means that the Mayan culture will no longer exist and the possibility it might emerge, somehow.


Hello: I bought Roxio Popcorn already bundled on my computer, but now Roxio wants a box serial number in order to get the Roxio Patch, so that I can burn a CD now that I've used Mac The Ripper to copy it.. Can anyone out there give me the address of a site whereby I can download this patch to my Roxio Popcorn version one? I'm so mad at Roxio, I wish I'd never bothered with them.. Is there a better program out there that you know of that I won't have to spend money on. I hate duplicating software dollars needlessly. Thanks very much.

i have had terrible burning of the tongue since i had a one toothed upper denture a few weeks ago. the doctor has given me mouthwashes and gels but if i wear the denture the burning is intense! it seems i am alergic to the plastic used. is there any other material they can make the plate out of?????

Though rare, you may be allergic to your Partial denture material. Options are\n1. Use a different material, such as metal for making the denture\n2. Get a fixed partial Denture (bridge) instead of Removable one.\n3. Perhaps the best option is to get a Dental Implant prosthesis if your case is suitable and you can afford it!!!

This is a difficult question.  Most studious teens tend to put their studies before dating and therefore may not really be interested in pursuing a relationship.\n\nIs there any way you can simply try to spend some time together?  Are you studious as well?  If so, can you study together?  Perhaps work on a science fair project, or play scrabble together.\n\nI think that's the only way you can get onto his "radar screen" so to speak.\n\nI think it would be risky just to tell him--perhaps his social skills are not finely developed and he'll feel threatened???

Generally, the interest rate elasticity and the duration are used.  The first is the change in value based on the change in rates.  The second is the maturity of a zero with the same elasticity as the given rate/value.\n\nThere's a bunch of math behind it and you can look at the paper below.


I need to know how to construct a model that illustrates Shear stress in a beam. This should be based on basic concepts of Mechanics of Materials Statics

This question is both complex and easy; easy because the way to illustrate or model the shear stresses in a beam requires a simple diagram that cannot be drawn on here, and easy because once you see the procedure you will realize it is actually quite straightfoward. \n\nThe best thing for you to do is grab a Materials' Engineering book -- most will have, at some point, an accurate answer to this question.  Try your mechanics and dynamics books too, as this bordelines on many subjects.


I'm meant to do a capital budgeting analysis on the cost savings of a project and state the NPV and IRR of the project but I don't understand what they're asking as their yearly depriciation tax savings differ from year to year and the 5th year was split into 2 half years.How do you calculate the NPV and IRR of such a project?Thank you so much in advance.

the idea is to know the present value of the cost savings, it is doen for a replacement decision so as to know what is the net inflow/outflow from the project, \n\nthis is all i could answer from ur question,


Hello. I am planning to apply to two Universities next summer. Although, I am a mature student, I have only my 12U Sciences, (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and my 12U Math's (Geometry and Calculus). What is my precentage of being accepted into a school based on this accrediation. I do not have my full grade 9-10-or 11 credits. Like I said, just my Sciences and Math's in the grade 12 University level. Please let me know, with possible referances. I live in Canada, and plan to attend in Canada. Thank you.

Without knowing the universities, or your full credentials it is very hard to tell.  You should really try and get this type of information directly by contacting an admission representative from each of the universities that you plan on applying to.


I called him more than 40 times.an he keep text messaging me then I call him back then he don't answer.

Honey, I hate to burst your bubble, but it sounds like he's trying to avoid you. When guys do that, that's usually bad news.  Maybe he's not the right one for you.  If he really loves you, it will all work itself out. If not, let him go and move on, it's for your best. Can't force love.


For me it's either Prior, Lee, Murton, or Barrett. It's extremely difficult to narrow down because Maddux, Z, and Dempster are also so awesome. I haven't really warmed up to Jones yet.

I just love the production and quiet attitude of D. Lee. A class act. But with him on the DL I'd have to go with Murton. Anyway you look at it, this team is way more fun to watch without Sosa, Alou & Merker's attitudes.

I put $4,000 for 2005 into an IRA account.  I am not self employed, and as a teacher, do not participate in anything like profit sharing.  Also, I currently do not have a TSA.  Is this $4,000 totally deductable?  And, do I have to send in verification such as form 8606 or do I just list it on my 1040 and it is up to the financial institution to file the paperwork with the IRS? Thank You.

You can find the IRA contribution deductibility via the link below.  \n\nhttp://www.banksite.com/investments/how_much_ira_save.htm


they say that every guy has a best friend for a reason. They're best friends because they are atracted to each other. And if gay that would be the person you would go out with. Its weird but it could be thru. They also say that every guy has a weird gay experience. I dont know aomebody answer the question.

I've got friends but pretty much the only thing we talk about is sports, video games, and the end of the world.\n\nBout as close as I come to being gay is that I enjoy Broadway musicals...does that count?

i'm 42 years old married to a dairy farmer so he works 365 days a year. the dairy and farm come first. we have a multiple handicapped child together that he wants to put in a home because i'm not available to help him more with the farm due to her care. that was the day i fell outof love. i work outside the home(have to have insurance on my daughter) i've been attracted to a friend/ coworker for about 5 years. I finally told him how i felt. he had suspected it but knew i was trying to find something to hold onto in my marriage. i have been married for 16 years, unhappy for 15. my friend is unhappy in his marriage for about 18 years. we finally got together in a sexual way. Things could not have felt more right. We clicked on every aspect, and he is very romantic. he has met my daughter at work related family functions and doesn't see her as a burden. I know when this man is in the room before i even see him , and when he kisses me .....my knees damn near buckle , heart beats faster...

If you 've truely been unhappy for 15 years, I'd say you've been married for 14 years too long.  However, my initial response was that a marriage is very much like a business partnership, but you are right that it also needs love and romance to flurish.  \n\nWhat concerns me is the apparent infatuation with this other guy.  You must have found something appealing about your current husband that you wanted to marry him.  And something worthwhile to stick it out for 15 years, my gosh.  I am concerned that once you leave your husband, which I think you should, the novelty and infatuation with the new guy will wear off.  Living with someone is always much different than "dating" them.  \n\nI think you should leave your current husband only for issues you have with him, not because you think you may have found a better replacement.  It would be really sad to leave a good provider to find out the new guy is not up to par in some bad ways.  Get out of the marriage first, then take the new relationship as it comes.


are angels true? do they have halos or wings? can it be possible to see them? or can we feel them? Are they really watching over us?uhmm...?

Angels exist...believe me, guardian angels are the ones that watch over us...we all have one...at least one. According to scripture, God's angels are among us every day, mostly doing their duty keeping the Devil's angels in check. Some are our personal guardians, they ride in our vehicles, and work in tandem with the Holy Ghost to comfort us and testify to the truth of the Scriptures.


Rather have the answer by someone who attended.\nthanks

I've only visited, but the campus is beautiful.


i work full time and also do most chores in the house so i dont get the time to actually do any real excercise, or maybe im just to lasy to do it, any ideas on SIMPLE excercise and please NO SIT UPS i cant stand them

Turn your daily chores into a trainig regimine. I'm a boxer and I use that to keep in shape. Like what you pick up laundry, tighten your stomach, bend at the knees and lift your cloths, this is a nonpainful way to do sit up with out actually doing them. If you need to grab something tighten them muscles and turn at the waist and grab somethign on your left with your right hand. This works your side sumcles. What also works wonders and this works for a lot of Martial artists. When you are resting and sitting at home just watching tv, turn your comercial breaks into training set, sit up, sorry to target those musles they must be done. you might also try walking around the house on your tip toes this tightens and firms your calves and thoughs, and the extra callorie burn might reduce your belly fat. also eat smaller meals and drink plenty of water. Another great solution is to stop drinkiong all sugar drinks for a week and drink only water for a week, try to eat resposibly durring that week and this will trick your body into burning the fat it is storing instead of storing more, then after the week ease back into drink soda and jiuces, this will reduce your need to sode, but keep up the juices, your body breaks those sugars down faster than sugar in soda.


I would not tell him what I posted on answers.yahoo.com so he, his friend, and his sister went looking for them. Does this not violate our relationship? do I have a right to be upset with him?

Well, yes and no. I would be mad if I asked you and you wouldn't tell me because it sounds like you have something to hide and that would make me curious to see what it could be but on the other hand it is kinda invasion of privacy personally I probably have done the same thing. Sorry\nGood Luck


For some odd reason, my brother (15) doesn't like my dad at all! Ever since my ad moved in with us ( me, mom, and brother), mybrothers been tring to act all manly and its not working out so well because he ends up assulting me! And then my dad gets on my brother for putting his hands on me, and my brother freaks out and then he and my dad get into this big argument! Should my parents get married still even if my brother ends up ruining the wedding and marriage?

Your brother is down right disrespectful, yes your parents should get married if thats what they want. Since when did the 15 yr. old become the parent?


Which one of these guys are more evil and why?

I am trying to teach my kids that being out at night is not safe because there are people out there that will do bad things to kids,boys and girls.especially being in unlit lots.I can only imagine how many kids were found dead in one. please help me?

Wow, where do you live?  Hehe.  Um, I don't know what you can tell your kids other than you really think they should find alternatives to hanging out in dark, secluded areas.  You should know that if they are old enough to go out and do things like that, that if you forbid them to do something, if they have a rebellious nature, they may do what they want - against your wishes and better judgement.  \n\nMaybe instead of trying to preach to them you could provide them with an alternative like your driveway, or backyard to hang out in and do whatever it is that they're doing in these spooky places.  It's never too late to teach your kids about entertaining people in the home.  That's something we don't do enough of in our culture anymore, as far as I'm concerned.  (That isn't to say bad things couldn't happen in the home either, but at least then they would be in a more controlled environment, and you [if you were there] could see who was coming and going...)\n\nOther than that, I don't know what else to tell you other than maybe to give them a curfew which doesn't permit these types of activities.  \n\nGood luck.


How do I tell a mature, I'm also mature, we are both the same age, my feelings for him (I love him)?  We are friends--I think--we call each other occaisionally, joke, flirt, etc.--but have never dated.  I need some real suggestions on how to say this to him.  I have in the past said I cared about him, but I think he took "care" wrong--my friend said "care" was wording to be used when talking to a friend, not someone you want romantically.  HELP.  I am putting this question under this category because we are both divorced.  I, for a long, long time, he-for one year-and I thought I could get more mature, helpful answers this way

see if he wants to take it to the next level, dating.  if he says yes, then go on a few dates and see if he shows you any signs of him liking you.  Just take it slow.  how is he feeling about just getting divored a year ago?  does he still have feelings for her?  these are things that you need to know.  if he does then it's the wrong time to say anything about how you feel.  you don't want to rush into it unless he's ready again.  which he might not be ready.  either way seems how you've both been divorced for whatever reasons, you both just need to take it slow and make sure it's what you both want.  good luck


Disk Defragment can be done for everytime before i want to shut down the computer?

Disk defragment takes a long time (about 1 hour), not advisable. However you can schedule it to run automatically every so often. Go to Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks then Add Scheduled Task to set the schedule you want for automatic disk defragmenting. \n\nHope this helps.

Ok, I'm hoping for a thrashing, so if you're a Thrashers fan, don't take offense. My question: I've never been to the arena, and it's always difficult to pick good seats from the seating charts. My seats are in section 206, row C. Can anyone who has seen a game at Philips Arena tell me if these are decent seats for the action or not?

The only bad seats in Philips Arena are the ones high up in the 3rd section. I have sat in every section in Philips arena, and I have not been disappointed yet. Visit their website and you can actually see the view from your seat. Go THRASHERS!


One of my yahoo accounts is getting broken into by someone, and I suspect I know who it is... \n\n- For months my password would not work and I would keep resetting it. Then I changed my security question to one that this person could not answer and it stopped for a couple of weeks.\n\n- Yesterday, the account was 'disabled' for my protection. We figured out that if you answer the security question wrong 10 times or so, the account disables temporarily.\n\n- This morning, now I can't even answer the question b/c someone has changed my personal account information.\n\nHow do we get to the bottom of this? How can someone be doing this?

If the person was good enough to know the answer of your latest question, he/she must be someone who is close to you, is a friend, or is a relative.\n\nEither what you are doing is a matter of National Interest, and therefore the CIA/FBI/NSA or whatever agency ur country has is trying to get into the account. But lol that wont be the case.\n\nThe person is a friend. See who all have been frequenting your desktop, or trying to be more inquisitive around you. You can mail Yahoo, but i dont think they will be of much help, they can just reset ur account details. But unless u find WHO did it, the attacks wont stop. For a change try a security question, the answer to which ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW!.\n\nor get a new account.


Who will be the fastest to reach 150 wins Woody Paige or Jay Mariotti?


I can't seem to find anything in Security that pays more than I'm making.  I'm a supervisor, and I'm trained for management positions.  Any help would be appreciated.

No.  Around here they advertise in the $8-$9 range to start.  Is it any wonder they can't fill those jobs?\n\nWhat about working at a school as a Resource Officer (usually at the high school level) or for a college Public Safety office?  Both of those jobs would pay more and have good bennies.

It sounds like your only requirement is that he's a bodybuilder.  Very shallow.  Relationships based on physical attraction rarely last forever.


I can hardly find anyone who even knows who Scott Joplin is! Tell me there are more Joplin fans out there besides me!

Not to worry, there are plenty of Ragtime fans out here -- maybe you need to expand your search beyond your own age group?\n\nMany people first came to know Joplin's music through the film "The Sting", back in the late 60s. To know it is to love it!\n\nIf you look in the CD Bargain bin, you can often find collections of his music at great prices.\n\nDo you know how ragtime got its name? This music was first heard in the bordellos of New Orleans in the early 1900s. Back before recorded music, such establishments often employed a piano player to entertain the customers. On any given night, a few of the sporting ladies would be in a condition that prevented them from taking the gentleman visitors upstairs. During these days, the ladies drank and danced with the gentlemen, tried to get them "in the mood" for the services of their less indisposed collegues. Hence, the style of music to which they danced is "Ragtime"


We went to Wal-mart and they said it would take 6-8 weeks..We didn't want to take that chance..Do ya'll think they'll be ready in time if we order them now at the last minute?

Probably...I'm assuming you're on a budget, but have you tried a more specialized place like Marks & Morgans or the such? Right out of the case, they only take, at most, a week to get sized and ready for you to wear! Contact me if you'd like more info. (no I don't work at a retailer, my fiance and I just went through the wedding band hurrah) Hope I helped! Congrats!


Im in a class with this girl or.. woman i should say. She is gorgeous.. anyway. One day before a test she just starts talkin to me and she was goin on and on about how nervous she was. Im the only guy in the class she talks to.. and when she talks to me she doesnt shut up! We dont sit together in class cuz we are in lab groups but she always would look at me and smile. When i ran into her at school she talked to me again.. and wouldnt shut up.. lol but the eye contact was dead on. Yesterday she did a presentation and handed out a quiz to the class and she put a smiley face on my quiz when she corrected em and noone else got a smiley face.. lol The thing that confuses me is when we walk out to the parkin lot together i asked if she wanted to study n she said no she tapes the professor.. and another time i asked to walk her to her car n she said no.. so now im just confused.. she still looks at me.. smiles and talks to just me...

Well, it sounds like she likes you.  Maybe she is confused.  It could be she's dating someone else right now and feels guilty about liking you.  It could be she doesn't trust guys too much right now and is afraid to start dating.  Maybe she'd be more comfortable in ag roup activity.  Like if a bunch of you from class are getting together and studying.

It seems that many of man's wars have not been based on Expansion as Religion. This also goes for twisted ideologies Like Hitlers, and Genocide.\n\nWether It was the Christain Crusades or the current sitution in the middle east it seems all relgions cause war and death.\n\n\nWhat do you think?

No.... Ignorance is.  Religion is no more the cause of wars than peace, greed, hate, or the color of skin is.\n\nIf you love God and keep his commandments you love peace.


ok theres this guy and i think he likes me...he's acted like it and it kinda scares me cus i dont like him..i think he's gross and nasty and really weird...he hasnt said it yet and this started not too long ago...what should i do???should i just act normal or what?????????????????

Yeah, act normal usnless you know for sure he likes you.  Otherwise you're just over reacting------ Unless you want him to like  you.

He had two profiles - one on Yahoo Personals listing himself as "Searching for Soulmate" and listing himself as "straight", and another on Adultfriendfinder, listing himself as bi-sexual/curious and searching for group sex, threesomes, transvestites transgenders, etc. He is now trying to get back with me and tells me that he is not gay and doesn't know why he did that profile. What do you think?

First of all I want to tell you that I am very sorry that you broke up with your fiance. It must be a very difficult time for you. I believe that relationship on the way to marriage should be running pretty smoothly. There should be no real problems whatsoever. For what ever reason it is that you broke up, you probably should stay broken up. I don't mean to sound harsh, but its true. Also, do you really want to get back together with someone who has posted personal ads on the internet right away? I know people will say that he is hurt and whatnot. But if your boyfriend is gay or bi, do you really want to be in the middle of all that heartache? I think that there is a strong possibility your ex boyfriend may want to do a little experimenting. I think you need to think about moving on, how hard that may be. But you deserve a happy relationship without secrets, lies and deceits. If your ex is really gay, do you want to subject yourself to STD's? I am not saying anything against gays (I have two uncles that are brothers who are gay), but I am talking of cheating... I would rather have my ex break up with me than live a life filled of lies with me. Its not fair to both of you.\n  I would not take him back but that is my opinion. If you were really sure about this guy you would not be writing on here. It sounds like you have your doubts as well. Trust your instincts and what your heart is telling you. That is the best advice that was ever given to me.\nGood luck.


Imagine all those fundamentalist's strutting about with donkey sized sexual parts and the women all looking like Pamela Anderson clones...answered prayers!!!

LOL, remember Pamela's prayers were answered in a Beverly hills plastic surgeons office.  Ron Jeremy's answers seem to have been answered too!\n\nIf only my prayers would be answered.. That people stop praying...  Wait, there's a contradiction there... I merely hope that people stop praying...


Always drawing a blank when its time to open my mouth and learn more about the person. Any ideas of great questions to get to know someone better?

ask them question you would want someone to ask you


My mom remarried and the is losing her mind (unfit to make desicions due to stress Doctor ordered)  her husband is trying to sell their home  could i take power of attoney of her is she agrees even though the doctors have claimed she shouldnt make any major desicions

Power of attorney is not what you need. You need to have the court appoint a guardian/conservator over the parent. As she is married, the court will want to know why the husband should not be presumed to be acting in his spouse's best interests, and it will be up to you to prove that he is attempting to steal her assets. In short, your burden is to demonstrate that the marriage is a fraud and that will be VERY difficult unless you can get the husband to admit it to you in front of a disinterested witness, like a police officer or some neighbor who has no stake in the outcome of the proceedings.\n\nOr, if you could get it on tape when the husband knew he was being recordeded, that would work. But, otherwise, you will probably have a very difficult time proving your case.\n\nWithout specific facts, it's impossible to accurately analyze your circumstances. You will need to retain a local attorney experienced in probate and elder law, and you should do so quickly, because you will need a restraining order and a "lis pendens" filed at the county clerk where the home's title is filed, to prevent any sale from occuring.\n\nOne thing that you have on your side, is that if you can show the court that your mother is incompetent to sign a sales contract, then the court may stop any sale of the home, until it is satisfied that the deal is appropriate.\n\nSo, act fast before someone actually puts money down, because once they do, they become what's known as a bona fide purchaser, and their interest in the home will be greater than yours or your mother's. You don't want to be fighting with a third party over the house -- it's enough that you'll be fighting with your father in law.


Is it Bench Press, Chest Press or what exact exercise in the fitness center would I do??? Help!

Start with the push away from the computer. PE teacher should know fat does not convert to muscle. Losing weight and getting tight. Cardio and crunches.


note : the func is in absolute value\nso y cant be negative\n\n\n10pts for the 1st right and clear ans

Let's call f(x) = x^2 - 4\n\nThe graph of f(x) = x^2 - 4 looks like a smile ( U )  with the graph passing the y - axis at -4.\n\nThe roots are at x = 2 and x = -2.  This can be found by solving for x^2 - 4 = 0\nx^2 - 4 = 0\n(x + 2)(x - 2) = 0\nso x + 2 = 0, or x - 2 = 0\nso x = -2 or x = 2\n\nsince you're int'ing from x = -1 to x = 3, you have to break up the int into\n[x = -1 to x = 2, where f(x) is negative and take the absolute value] \nand\n[x = 2 to x = 3, where f(x) is positive]\n\nso int of f(x)\n= x^3/3 - 4x + c\n\nso int of f(x) from x=-1 to x=3\n= {+ve value of int of f(x) from x = -1 to 2}\n                +\n  int of f(x) from x = 2 to 3\n\nSeparately\nint of f(x), x = -1 to 2\n= | (2^3)/3  - 4(2) - [((-1)^3)/3  - 4(-1)] |\n= | (8/3) - 8 - [(-1/3) + 4] |\n= | (8/3) - 8 + (1/3) - 4 |\n= | (9/3) - 12 |\n= | 3 - 12 |\n= | -9 |\n= 9\n\nint f(x), x = 2 to 3\n= (3^3)/3  - 4(3) - [(2^3)/3  - 4(2)]\n= 27/3 - 12 - [(8/3) - 8]\n= 9 - 12 - (8/3) + 8\n= 5 - (8/3)\n= 7/3 (or 2 1/3)\n\nAdd them together and you get:\n9 + 2 1/3\n= 11 1/3 which is appromixately 11.333_


trying to clarify some concepts, before i come up with my theory ;-) --\n\nEntangled particles --\n\n1. if one particle is collapsed (wave function is collapsed say by observing it) at time t1 does the other entangled particle collapse too at t1? with of-course a "spin" opposite to its twin?\n\n2. if not then when we "collapse" the other parictle say at time t2 is would always have the opposite spin?

the entanglement can only exist if the wave function is undisturbed, so yes. if particle a is observed as having spin +1/2, particle b will be observed as having spin -1/2.


but he makes her unhappy and stuff, and i think she likes me from just hints and stuff. How can i be sure that she does and like kiss her or something?

if he makes her unhappy show her that you will make her happy....just go for it!! Kiss her by surprise!! :)


It's seem really impossible for Americans to work on weekend, at least for my American professors, why?


eg: medicine \ncognitive behavoural therapy

I'm taking antidepressants that are helping to control the symptoms and I'm having counseling with a qualified psychologist to get to the root cause.  Both are working really well, but it is a hard slog.\nGet a good sympathetic doctor and a good psychologist you will be amazed at how they can work.\n\nYou need to know that anti depressants don't make you feel "HAPPY" they just balance out the chemicals that aren't working right and then you can do the work you need to do to fix the problem.  Also they take a while to work.  You need to be aware that not all anti depressants work on all people.  If you're not happy with the first lot go back and talk to your doctor until you get the type and dose right for you.\n\nGood Luck!  You can beat it.


I guess you can say it's just a name, but really, would you give your child this name?  It's kind of alot to live up to..to be named after the son of God....thoughts?

This is more of a cultural thing.\n\nIn English we name boys "Joshua", which comes from the Hebrew version of the name (closer to what Jesus' family and friends actually called him!)   In Spanish cultures, they use "Jesus" (pronounced differently from English, of course) and I have no problem with that...  though I will admit the first few times I wrote something official to my Filipino brother-in-law who bears this name (though he is usually called by an unrelated nickname), it was an adjustment.\n\nI am glad you don't suggest there is some Scriptural barrier to the practice -- I've heard folks make pronouncements about this, with no real foundation.\n\nAs for "living up the being named after the son of God" -- well does not EVERY "Christian" bear his name?! and the name of his Father!!  We even formally mark it in baptism in which the NAME of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is 'put on us' as now "sons and daughters of the living God" by our connection to Jesus.  \n\n(The connetion between baptism and NAMING as sons/children is clear in the words of the Father at Jesus' own baptism, echoed in his resurrection, in the declaration "You are my beloved Son in whom I delight!"  In OUR baptism it is as if, as we are symbolically united to Jesus his Son, he declare over US "You are my sons and daughters in whom I delight!")\n\nIf some boy's specifically having the legal name "Jesus" helps him remember what we ALL ought to remember about who (and whose!) we are, that might be a very GOOD thing!


i need to build a windmill 50 cm in height that can pick up 350 pennies 50 cm in 5 seconds any suggestions

get a light material preferably like very light cloth for the two wind mills but make it so that it  will catch a lot of wind. make 2 A shapes out of 1/2 inch thick wooden dowels then attach them together at all points but have the top one on a very lubricated axel.  then make two windmills with their blades at about a 45 degree slant and mount them on obbosite sides of the windmill axel. use a string in the middle tied on the axel with a little basket for the pennies so that when the wind mill turns the string will go up.

if you cant love the person of your choice do you take what you can get?

No, as this is not fair on the other one and you wouldn,t want them to do this to you.Get over the so called one that you love and find someone who is better,because if they are not with you then there is someone better then them.


Hi!  I am one I was just wondering how you are dealing with it.  It has been hard on us, in the way that we don't see much of each other.  My husband comes home and he is so tired.  Sometimes he falls asleep mid sentence!  Since we have been in this new life style, we have know a couple couples who have split.  For me personally, this is not a reason for seperating from my husband.  We still have a wonderful relationship...we just do see much of each other.  I sometimes think the Iraq deployments were easier. \n\nSo anyways, I just want to hear other spouses thoughts, or how they have accustomed themselves to the lifestyle.\n\nThanks...and we are at Ft Jackson BTW,

Being a Drill Sgt, is no picnic.  They work long long hours and get no days off.  They live with these men and women.  I know it has to be hard on you being a spouse.  I've been in the military and was married to a military man and it's not easy.  There is a high divorce rate in the military and with Drill Sgt.  You sound like you are very grounded and very supportive of your husband and should be commended.  One day he will be out of the service and you will have him all to yourself but in the mean time, support him and love him.  It sounds like you have a good man and remember he is doing a great service to his country.  So many people marry military people and don't understand that it's not a 9 to 5 job, and you have alerts, and you move out, and you have duty to pull and you don't get weekends off and you get deployed..As hard as this is for some people to understand but you serve your country.  I've always believed that before someone gets married to someone in the military they really need to have some kind of counseling and some understanding of what a service member has to do and respect that and support them.  I think things will be okay for you and your husband, you sound grounded and you are aware that what he is doing is not easy for him either.  Good Luck...


I found a nice girl, she's great in mostly everything, but she says strange words sometimes, which indicate that she might have love relationships with guys while she is acting as a girl who didn't have any relationships before, and presenting a huge desire to be my wife. Now, how can i make sure that she didnt have love or go outside with guys, as she claim by her acts, without letting her to notice that am exploring her past? I want to know some tactics please. If her past is not clean, it's not neccessary her future will be the dirty too, but if her past is clean, her future have a high probability for being honest with me. I am asking this question to make the right decision, so my heart won't be in strange hands, i want it to be in hands it deserves. That's all.

How old are you? your question irk me! Please answer this, Are you the best for her? If you can't even convinced your heart, how would you be a good man for this woman? she needs more than your "doubts". It's not just your marriage you're talking about, it's her's too, and tell you what, she might have that very same doubt about you! imagine why the so-called strange words (as you said)! Grow up!


when we are haning out with people boys tend to flirt withe me and it makes my bf gellous and his attitude changes and when his attitde is'nt good it brings me down

Don't dress provocatively and maybe people won't flirt.\nMaybe you are not close enough with your man and letting others slide in.\nMaybe you are hanging out in the wrong places or with the wrong people.


I don't want to waste my time trying to be the other woman, nor do I want to hurt anyone. I'm wondering if we can just go back to being friends, or does he think I'm just a loser? \nI can't avoid seeing him every few days, as we are in the same club. I've kept my distance since I found out he was married, but I wonder why he keeps staring at me, and why doesn't he wear a ring anyway?

He took vows. Even if he does not Honor then....you should.


only those who havent been brainwashed by the government answer

There will ALWAYS be some kind of "war" to keep the people scared and depending on the government.

I am trying to find out how many ppl here are from MO just out of curiosity!

Yes, Cape Girardeau, and please, please, please, don't hold that against me.


her husband walked out on her after the death of one of there children, she has a 6 year old child and can only work part time family and friends have helped her financially\nhowever she needs free legal advice as she needs to make the seperation or divorce legal so she can get child support for her 6 year old son. I do not know of any state assistance programs in Mass to advisor her.

go on line and go under attorneys. then type in probate attorneys. There are all kinds of attorneys that work and give advice for free. Especially when it comes to children. Free bono attorneys just do some research. and to file she doesn't need any money. just go to the court house to the clerk and ask for a divorce packet tell them mom with child and no money and they will wave it all. I know i did it with 3 girls and a screw up for an old man. He doesn't even have to show up just send a certified copy to last known address and that's all you need to do. If he shows good for him if not better for you....


asking is a little awkward. i would say just go for it.


i wish to be there at that moment to see the whole story in accurate way so i can understand. how many followers did Jesus had before they tried to kill him?

At that time Satan went into them. They were scared. Jesus had twelve faithful followeers otherwise known as the twelve disciples. The other people just folowed him around to see if he could actually do the miracles people said he could do.


I met this guy at a party and he asked me for a ride home. We wound up just driving around and talking for two hours. He then read me his poetry because we had talked about it that night. Then we hung out at another party. Then things were casual, we'd say hi. But then I said yes to the other guy to go to prom with him. AS FRIENDS!!! Which everyone knows. I don't think the fact that I am going to prom with this other guy is the reason that this is happening, but me and the guy who read poetry to me are no longer saying hi to eachother. He looks at me like he wants to talk, but I feel weird because it's getting awkward. My question is, there's another party Friday night, should I ask him to hang out after or no? I don't want to ask him if I don't think he likes me.

he likes you trust me.. guys just try and play games the way females do.. They try to act like they dont like you but from inside its killing them.. He probly still thinks about you... just go up to him and talk to him.. he will be thrilled inside cuz he cant stand not talkin to you... just make sure you say hi or speak to him again aftewards cuz you might get him upset again inside... we have emotions too


the result when i run the code must be like that\n...*\n..* *\n.* * *\n* * * *\n.* * *\n..* *\n...*\nplease any body can help me with that ... and thanx all\nbut without dots cos i add it to show my view

did anyone else know that Molly Meldrum is gay??? Or was i the only one shocked to find this out??

You are a few years behind the times. Why do you thiink that he is called Molly for.


go to google, click on images, and type in bingo balls


please i want to understand. please if you don't have a logic answer then don't answer this question.

This is a good dilemma for the Born Again crowd.  Of course to those of us who belong to church of revealed rather than traditional religion it poses no problem.  God the Father and Jesus Christ are NOT the same person.  The Bible never teaches that they are the same person.  Therefore there is no problem about what God the Father was doing at the time His son was born into mortality.  They are two separate and distinct personages.  Both members of the Godhead--NOT the trinity as apostate Christians attempt to explain.


If the question is a technical one?  Act cool?

take a moment to think about your answer. if possible, try to rephrase the question into a statement while answering. this gives you time to think of the answer while reassuring that you have understood the question properly. answer to the best of your ability. if it's possible, give an example of how you have used what they are asking in the past.


Please answer truthfully because I need this for a project.

Wow...now entertainers can be considered heroes!!! Nothing is sacred in this country anymore!!!  I think justice used to be about justice and not stardom (OJ Simpson)and I think the status of hero was once held in the highest regard for those that saved another person or demonstrated the highest level of courage...now fame can buy the title of hero!!!  Also, if Celine did actually do something that required the utmost of bravery for the welfare of another person, I'm sure she would be called a heroine and not a hero.


Are you following your dreams?\nWhy or why not?

No I hate my job. My current position is extremely stressful with little or no chance of advancement. However I am also in the process of opening up my own business. It will be doing something that I not only enjoy immensely, but am very good at doing. It will probably be just as stressful but for different reasons. It is definitely scary jumping out there on your own, but if I fail, it will be no ones fault but my own and at least I say that I gave it a shot.


On the random selection of 50,000 immigrants to the US each year, the State Dept's web site has a warning in red text:\n\n"Please Note: There have been instances of fraudulent websites posing as official U.S. Government sites. Some companies posing as the U.S. Government have sought money in order to "complete" lottery entry forms. There is no charge to download and complete the Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form. The Department of State notifies successful Diversity Visa applicants by letter, and NOT by email. "\n\nYahoo has lots of ads about paying money to complete such forms. Do you think Yahoo is guilty of accepting fraudulent ads?

There is absolutely nothing illegal about companies acting as intermediaries for the green card lottery , the key word is "posing as official U.S. Government sites". Most of these companies DO NOT pose as U.S. Government but rather they are deceiving and make it sound that you can only apply through them. The legality of this can be disputed. If you are stupid enough to believe that you have to apply through them then it's your loss.\nOne good thing about these companies is that they advertise the green card lottery , whereas the US government does not.\n\nThe visa lottery became electronic only for the past 2 years, before that you had to mail a form, and the practice to use intermediaries was very common especially for people in undeveloped countries where the mail service reliability \nwas very low. \n\nEven now ,although, you can apply electronically,if you happen to win, you get a letter in the mai. If that letter is lost you are screwed there is no way to know that you won. This is one reason people may still choose an intermediary. The wining notification is sent to the intermediary who in turn posts the info on the net, so people that applyed can check their status online.\n\nIf the US Goverment would provide a way to check if you won or not, there would be no need to use an intermediary.\n\nPersonally, I think that anybody who uses an intermediary is an idiot, but that is their right. There is nothing illegal about it. As you stated, the US Goverment makes it very clear that no such intermediry is needed, if you don't read it's your problem.


Please don't give me answers like : because its bad.

As "Dude" said, heroin--as well as many other opioid narcotics--latch onto receptors that, unfortunately, frequently cause nausea and vomiting.


Break the law for more then five yrs and get away with it do they get amnisty for there crimes. Or would that be racist

Amnesty for illegal immigrants is racist toward American citizens.If we commit a crime, we're thrown in prison. But just because their Mexican, they should get preferential treatment in the form of amnesty? That's racist!


I believe it is the U.S. M4 in 5.56. What's your opinion and why?

Actually, spartanerik, the XM8 program was cancelled. The M4A1 is a good rifle, but I like the M16A4 better. It has a little more power and accuracy than the carbine, and makes for a pretty good sniper's weapon, in a pinch. (With optics, of course)


have read not to touch the stick of ram with the hand

Well... tats somehow meaning that the ram is sensitive... if u wish to buy ram, make sure u check which type of MHz u were using now , n buy bac the same to add more unto it! For example: DDR PC3200 , it is advicable that u use bac PC 3200. But if u use other kind of MHz, somehow sensitive n sometime might cause the ram malfunction or the motherboard cannot detect the full speed of it ! Well... if u dun wanna damage with your hand ... what u gonna handle with !? What it means that is u are not adviceable to touch the sensitive part like chip memory or the slot interface! coz... sometime hand content charges and static which can bring faulty to your ram !


jest been out for lunch  and whil getting out of back of two door car  , i think ive sprained my back . the pain is awfull at the moment. on my right side of back . any ides what to do . and has thi happend to you@

What is a low back strain or lumbar sprain?\nMuscle strains and lumbar sprains are the most common causes of low back pain. A low back muscle strain occurs when the muscle fibers are abnormally stretched or torn. A lumbar sprain occurs when the ligaments, the tough bands of tissue that hold bones together, are torn from their attachments. Differentiating a strain from a sprain can be difficult, as both injuries will show similar symptoms. Many doctors refer to both injuries as a category called "musculoligamentous injuries" of the lumbar spine. In general, it doesn't matter what you call the problem because the treatment and prognosis for both back strains and sprains is the same. \n\nWhy are sprains and strains of the low back so common?\nThe spine is supported by large muscles called the paraspinal muscles. These muscles both support the spinal column as well as the weight of the upper body. The five lumbar vertebrae are connected by tough ligaments that help to maintain the position of the spinal column. \n\nThese muscles, ligaments, and bones all work together to provide control and strength for nearly all activities. The lumbar spine and its muscles are needed for most all movements and activities. For this reason, the lumbar spine is prone to injury, and when an injury has been sustained, we are prevented from performing many activities\n\nWhat causes these symptoms of low back pain and spasm?\nWhen the lumbar spine is strained or sprained, inflammation of the soft-tissues results. This inflammation causes pain and can cause muscle spasm. People are often surprised at how painful and debilitating a lumbar strain or sprain can be--these are not small injuries. They often force patients to remain in bed for a day or two, and can cause intermittent symptoms for weeks. That said, over 90% of patients are completely recovered from an episode of lumbar muscle strain or sprain within one month. \n\nWhy do some patients tend to have low back strains and sprains more often?\nGood question! We do know some factors that tend to influence the development of this type of problem, but often these symptoms strike in unexpected situations. Most commonly, patients who develop a lumbar strain or sprain are doing an activity that places their back at risk. This may be a sudden forceful movement, lifting a heavy object, or twisting the back in an unusual manner. Knowing how to properly lift can help to prevent many back injuries. \n\nSome well known factors that contribute to low back pain include: \n\nPoor conditioning \n\nObesity \n\nSmoking \n\nImproper use/lifting technique \nIf you have persistent problems with your lumbar spine, consider these issues. If you smoke, are overweight, or do not perform regular back strengthening exercises, then you have steps that you can take to help control your symptoms.\n\nProper conditioning is important to both avoid this type of problem and recover from this injury. By stretching and strengthening the back muscles, you will help control the inflammation and better condition the lumbar back muscles. The exercises should not be painful. Without some simple exercises, the low back muscles can become "deconditioned," or weak. When the low back muscles are deconditioned, it is very difficult to fully recover from low back injuries. \nIt is also important to understand that even if you are "in good shape," you may have weak low back muscles. When you have a low back muscle injury, you should perform specific exercises that stretch and strengthen the muscles of the low back, hips and abdomen. These exercises are relatively simple, do not require special equipment, and can be performed at home.


I have always wanted to be a police officer but never felt I had the character for it.  Then I met a cop who told me it is not a big deal, just learn to shoot a gun and get in shape.  So I have been working out every day and going for gun safety classes in a few months.\n\nRight now I am looking for books, videos or any programs that are avalaible so I can be prepaired.  If anyone has any information it would be much appreciated.  Thank you

Gay Priest?\n\nAs far as im concerned, God made Adam and Eve\n\nNot Adam and Steve!!!

I definitley agree with the Adam and Eve part. God you guys even have it in your bible, you know prophet LOT and his homosexual tribe, and God sure did punish them. You can still see the ruins of that place in Jordan! How can you accept a gay priest?? DISGUSTING\nBut apart from that I think there are many other things wrong with christianity. Read AHMAD DEEDATS book.


Should I go to a better college and work full time, or go to IU Bloomington or IU South Bend and only work part time (or not at all)?\n\nIs there a better way to learn about the arts (history, techniques, etc.) than going to college, or is that my best bet?

In the real world, it really doesn't matter where you go to get a liberal arts BA degree. I would opt for the most affordable choice. Where you get your MA or PHD matters more. What career are you planning to pursue? Will a BA  actually get you where you are going or would it be more advantageous to get a more specialized degree? Why do you just want to learn about the arts? I would suggest coming up with a better life plan than that. Just a thought.

consider time, money, effort, help needed

I would say the easiest business that could actually make you money at a low cost start up is an Internet business. Low start-up costs, low over-head, low-start, in demand, easy to learn, lots of professionals to learn from you can work from your home and you can start with one business and learn the Web then add more sites to your portfolio. \n\nYou can also put some website businesses on "automated" and your computer will work for you 24/7. You'll just need to check emails and review reports etc. \n\nGoto http://mywebsitebusinesstrainer.com/default.aspx for the best Internet Business training.\n\nGood Luck!

A better way to describe my "episodes" is that I may bend down to pick something up, or turn over in bed and I get really woozy for a few seconds.  The dizziness vanishes quickly and I forget all about it until it happens again.

it's either high blood pressure or an iron deficiency. You should also check and see if it's a low grade ear infection...something like that can throw off your equilibrium and make you dizzy during extreme motions(which include bending over and rolling over)...\n\ngood luck!


When biologists describe a species how do they determine that it is distinct? Does it mean that it cannot breed with other species in it's genus and produce productive offspring?

There are several definitions of species, which you can look up in most biology text books. The one generally used is called the biological species concept and defines a species as a group of actually or potentially interbreeding organisms. The biological species concept does require that each member be able to produce viable offspring when mated with another member and this is its weakness because it leaves out asexual "species" and doesn't account for the fact that often two "good" species such as bluegill and pumkinseed sunfish produce perfectly good hybrid offspring. I would argue that contrary to what another answerer said, species within a genus cannot always interbreed successfully. The genus is determined somewhat arbitrarily and not by this criterion. The difficulty of defining a species is that organisms and their populations are a little "rough" around the edges and don't always follow the "rules" that we might imagine or expect them to. This variability is of course the consequence, and engine, of biological change or evolution. On the other hand there is some biological reality to the species, unlike the other taxonomic levels. They are a fairly cohesive gene pool that can also be a bit leaky around the edges. The leakiness will have a lot to do with the recent evolutionary history of the species.


I live in California and I swear 4 out of my 6 teachers all use their classrooms to force their liberal political ideologies on us students.  Any opposing views shared my us are met with scorn and scolding, not to mention being told we are ignorant.  Why can't teachers at least let us at least have a debate and not a mandatory one-way liberal speech?  \n\nDoes anyone out there agree with me???

Liberals cant win elections so liberal teachers try to corrupt the youth to win future elections. Once the kids realize they are brain washed they become civilized once again and vote Republican because they love America.


has anyone ever had the worst boss ever? i've had two that were just awful! tell me your horror story!

My boss right now is horrible because she is a punk! She lets her assistant basically set her mood for the day, and tell her what to do. I feel that any true leader (boss, supervisor, manager,...etc) should truly lead in their position not be lead.

i just want to know what it's all about. what are the beliefs and morals?

Christianity is supposed to be a way of life based on the teachings and life of Jesus.  Very few people actually can be classed as being "Christa in"\n\nUnfortunately there are many that call therm-selves Christian and profess to follow the teachings of Jesus but by their actions they are far from what Jesus taught.\n\nA good place to start is by reading the Bible. (Use several modern versions as some are very highly biased to theological ideas, eg the King James is highly biased) \n\n Talking to  various people the profess Christianity will possibly confuse you even more.  So send me an email.  I can tell you the different ideas and leave it up to you to decide which one you think best describes the teachings of Jesus\n\ngordo_burns@yahoo.com.au

its possible but it will complicate things. better to use another computer which has a parallel port. it will save you time in debugging/checking the program and connection.


She broke up with me because she didn't feel different around me. I was clingy so she thought I was annoying, but I've learned not to be clingy anymore.

PRID Drawing Salve.\n There is also over the counter Boil salves. \nIf the boil is small just leave it be and use heat therephy it should drain itself. No matter how bad it hurts as long as the boil is hard u won't get any relief trying to pop the thing.\n Once it becomes soft in the middle or forms a head u can pop it yourself and get instant relief. If the boil is a large boil you need to go to the docter and have them lance it for you.\n All it is, is a deep infection. To get it to soften an to rise the head onto it use heat packs or heating pads.

If in Alcohol Anonymous, you can choose a power greater than yourself to stay sober-your own-Then why do they say the LORD"S PRAYER at the end of the meeting? "Curious-but I am a christian."

I have alcoholic friends who are professional people and not at all religiously minded.\nThey say that it is almost like a "mantra" - a way of fucusing your mind.\nThey all mix with different classes and are non-judgmental.\nIt is a terrible disease and not tolerated by society, because it is so scary.\nI wish I had the guts to go to one of their meetings and I genuinely respect those who have, irrespective of race, class, religion etc... good Luck!


Well, I'm not cutting myself or anything, but I don't know if I'm really that happy.\n\nYou could never tell that I was discontent just by looking at me. I'm not goth, emo... any of that stuff. In fact, I'm probably the preppiest boy in my whole entire school. I try really hard to make my life look perfect. I obsess over what people think about me, and it's a compelling reason in the way that I act.\n\nI am known for being overly cheery-- even borderline chipper and goofy. I'm very funny, and I never act upset or angry around people. I'm always laughing, talking and looking like I have a great, carefree life.\n\nSounds good, right? Yeah, well you would think so. However, when I get home from school I feel totally drained and empty. I go on these hideous mood swings after I get home, and I shut people out. I'm not happy, and I have a lot of issues that I don't let people know about. \n\nIsn't it a symptom of depression when you fluctuate between extreme happiness and then saddness?

You're a teenager and these feelings are normal.  I've found that being yourself and letting go of trying to be perfect can help.  Then you start to see the things that really matter to you, and you find friends that genuinely make you happy.  But the first step is going to see someone about it, someone who you can talk to and vent.  Try a school councilor or therapist.

I am looking for a nice family tent with a screen room, I don't need a huge tent or a huge price... if anyone has one of these I would love to know if you like it or not?\n\nThanks

Yes I do! I want to tell you that they are great as long as it doesn't rain. They are really to big, and airy, what you have to do, is run a huge tarp above your tent in case it rains you out. I have had mine fall all the way down, and everything was soaked and waisted. So run a back up plan with it for security reasons.


what does it do? and how does it work?\nand what is it made of?

There are various brands but probably the most common in use in hospitals is AquaSonic (link to company website below.)\n\nThe gel facilitates the transmission of sound waves from the ultrasound probe to (and thence through) the skin. If there is air under the probe, the waves are reflected off it and you can't image the tissue underneath. Even a tiny air bubble will distort the wave/reading. The technical explanation (from Wikipedia):\n\n"Ultrasonography (sonography) uses a probe containing one or more acoustic transducers to send pulses of sound into a material. Whenever a sound wave encounters a material with a different acoustical impedance, part of the sound wave is reflected, which the probe detects as an echo. The time it takes for the echo to travel back to the probe is measured and used to calculate the depth of the tissue interface causing the echo. The greater the difference between acoustic impedances, the larger the echo is. The difference between gases and solids is so great that most of the acoustic energy is reflected, and so imaging of objects beyond that region is not possible."\n\nIt's a water-based gel (probably rather like KY). Most companies have proprietary formulae so I can't say exactly what they're made of. The second link is a rather neat discussion of different types of gel.

Tell her how you fell if she doesn't know what you feel how can you solve the problem


for women with larger breast: the d shaped ring or the bar?

I'm not sure about which would be recommended you should ask your piercer about that but as for healing time it varies. As long as you follow all the post-pierce care instructions (cleaning, rotating etc) it really doesn't take that long. They'll tell you about 6 weeks, but mine felt fine after about 2. However my husband had his done for a few years and they never healed. My suggestion is if they still are sore and oozing after the 6 weeks call the piercer (get a card so you know who did it) and find out whether you should just take them out. It sucks to have to do that since they aren't cheap, but some people's bodies won't deal with a foreign body like that well.


i think they are from europe.they are somewhat clone of bond(popular string quartet).the band name is something like the wild.i am not so sure.


Ok so I've been friends with this guy for five years, and lately we've been spending A LOT of time together. I've started to develop feelings for him, but I'm not sure how to tell him. He's a bit shy, and I'm afraid that if I tell him, and he doesn't like me back, it'll be really awkward between us. I really don't want to ruin our friendship, which is the reason I'm holding back. Is there maybe a way I can let him know, without coming right out and saying it?

I would first maybe talk to some of his friend and then your friends to see how he feels about you. Because you don't want to tell him then get your feelings hurt if it is not the same for him. I honestly believe that you can truly tell if some one likes you so talk to the friend and feel the situation out a little before making your move.


I consider myself very open minded, but I watched the interview with Tom Cruise last night and he said that there would be a doctor there to adminster an epidural if she needed it.   I am confused as to why this is, considering this is a drug.  I am not knocking the beliefs of anyone, I just want to know why this is different?  It does not seem different to me.

I'm confused ,as a Scientologist for the past 35 years, where this\nidea that medication or medical treatment is against our "beliefs", comes from.\nIsn't this Christian Scientists that have this practice or doctrine?\nThere is definitely nothing in Scientology. If you need medical treatment you go to a Dr. If you need surgery you go to hospital.\nIf the length and pain of labour is too long or too much for the mother she gets what help she  needs to get  through it.\nYou are right ,it would be confusing ,if it were actually the case.\nThe only thing that Tom Cruise spoke against was medicating a non medical problem, which Scientologist are against. Specifically in the area of Psychiatric drugs, which solve nothing, cure nothing, are very addictive, and create gruesome side effects including homicidal and suicidal impulses. But this is not medical science.It's a whole other practice.\n\nI hope this helps to clear up the confusion here.


The following reaction is at equilibrium. \nBa(ClO3)2(s) ó Ba2+(aq) + 2ClO3-(aq)\n\nUse LeChâtelier’s principle to determine whether the following changes shift the equilibrium to the left or to the right.  \na.   The temperature is increased.\nb.   Barium nitrate is added.\nc.   More Ba(ClO3)2(s) is added.

A) When temperature is increased the equilibrium shifts right because the left is is warm an unstable so by shifting right it will balance among both sides.\n\nB) Barium nitrate is 100% soluble in water and will therefore act like the products side of the equilibrium (the reactant is solid). The equilibrium shifts left to balance the amount of barium.\n\nC) When Ba(ClO3)2(s) is added the equilibrium shifts right for a similar reason as the first.


This guy at my school is really cute and has a good personality and everything (not to mention a GREAT smile).\nHow do I get him to ask me out without being to obvious.\nShould I just forget about him?  PLEASE help me  I don't know what to do

i think you should try to get to know him subtly like if you sit next to him,try to find out more. but dont worry. if you trust in God, He will bring you th right guy at the right time

She will be unable to work for awhile after surgery. She is a Beautician.

my fore*** is not fully covering my pen** . The edge of the pen*** is coming out,  and i feel very shame to show it .

So you have a shorter foreskin, no big deal.  You can stretch it longer if you like.  For those of us that were circumsized, it takes longer.  But for you, it shouldn't take too long to get the coverage you want.  Whatever you do, DON"T GET IT CIRCUMCISED!!  You have a blessed gift and don't let anyone take that away.  Ignorance is the worse disease on this planet.  Unfortunately, most people don't want to be cured.

So my boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years, except for a short break-up this past summer. He just found out that due to a one night stand during our break, he is a father. We were planning on getting married next summer, and now I just wonder if we should stay together. I love him dearly, but we are only 25 years old, and now have a child to think about. We were supposed to move off for me to finish up medical school somewhere else, and now it looks like I will have to move off alone, while he stays here with his child. There's no interest of reconcilliation on his and the mother's part (it was a true one night stand), but I am now at such a loss. Please send me your advice...

Make sure its his first, get a paternity test. I wouldnt give up your plans for him, go to medical school, he can travel back and forth to see his child. You can always move closer when you're done. Dont give up your dreams because of his mistake. Make him get tested for STDs too, he obviously had unprotected sex. Sorry this happened


Can a convict become an ex-convict? Isn't convict short for convicted so wouldn't you always be somebody who was convicted?

It probably varies from state to state, but the two exceptions I know of are: (1) if you did jail time for something that was only a misdemeanor; not a felony and (2) if the crime was committed as a juvenile. I don't know if these hold in all states, however.


Im asking this because I am wondering how long you can sell , and not use it yourself.If you dont sell anymore , did you ever put off people you cared about or cared about you to keep selling? does it change you as a person just selling?\nhow long or can you do it without using ?

No, but I've sold my share of meth. I don't think you can deal without using though, I just have never seen it happen.\nI didn't put selling drugs before people I cared about, but definitely put using before my family and friends. \nDon't sell drugs though, thats stupid.

I'm just wondering what songs all of you guys think are romantic!

Something In The Way She Moves\n(James Taylor)\n\n"Something In The Way She Moves\nLooks my way and calls my name\nIt seems to leave this troubled world behind"\n\nBut there is Stevie Nicks singing Landslide:\n"I took my love, I took it down\nClimbed a mountain and I turned around\nI saw my reflection in the snow covered hills\n'Till the landslide brought me down\n\nOh, mirror in the sky\nWhat is love\nCan the child within my heart rise above\nCan I sail through the changing ocean tides\nCan I handle the seasons of my life\n\nWell, I've been afraid of changing\n'Cause I've built my life around you\nBut time makes you get bolder\nEven children get older\nAnd I'm getting older too\n\nOh, take my love, take it down\nClimb a mountain and turn around\nIf you see my reflection in the snow covered hills\nWell the landslide will bring it down\n\nIf you see my reflection in the snow covered hills\nWell the landslide will bring it down."\n  \nThe best?  What about Sting singing Wrapped Around Your Finger?  \n"I'll be wrapped around your finger\nDevil and the deep blue sea behind me\nVanish in the air, you'll never find me\nI will turn your face to alabaster\nThen you'll find your servant is your master\nYou'll be wrapped around my finger"\n\nThere are SO many romantic songs.  The best?  All of the above, and then some.


It is amazing that anything is able to silence a gun, but gun silencers actually work on a very simple principle. \n\nImagine a balloon. If you pop a balloon with a pin, it will make a loud noise. But if you were to untie the end of the balloon and let the air out slowly, you could pop it making very little noise. That is the basic idea behind a gun silencer. \n\nTo fire a bullet from a gun, gunpowder is ignited behind the bullet. The gunpowder creates a high-pressure pulse of hot gas. The pressure of the gas forces the bullet down the barrel of the gun. When the bullet exits the end of the barrel, it is like uncorking a bottle. The pressure behind the bullet is immense, however -- on the order of 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi) -- so the POP that the gun makes as it is uncorked is extremely loud. \n\nA silencer screws on to the end of the barrel and has a huge volume compared to the barrel (20 or 30 times greater). With the silencer in place, the pressurized gas behind the bullet has a big space to expand into. So the pressure of the hot gas falls significantly. When the bullet finally exits through the hole in the silencer, the pressure being uncorked is much, much lower -- perhaps 60 psi. Therefore, the sound of the gun firing is much softer.


Well, I'm 14 years old...and the past 3-4 years I've been very depressed. I was in and out of bad relationships.I started thinking about suicide A LOT and I began cutting myself and overdosing. I went to a mental hospital and I hated it and lied my way back home.I've been getting therapy and I have a doctor, but I don't think the doctor really understands. I took a test online recently and it said I was moderate, high, and very high of the disorders...most high and very high. It scared me. I've been taking Abilify and Lexapro...it works,but my suicidal thoughts have gotten worse, and it doesn't really help much with my emotions and anger. It seems I've developed more problems than I began with. My grandma is schizuprantic and she has really bad nerves. She was beaten and rejected when she was little. I'm wondering if I will end up like her. She is literally on 3 pages of psychotrophic meds. What is wrong with me? I would give more spacific info but I'm running out of characters. :(

Now, I'm not clinical psychologist although I am a psychology major in university so take everything I say with a grain of salt.\n\nFirst I'm going to give you the party line and say that suicide is never the answer.  It is a long term solution to a short term problem.  I can honestly tell you that I had one of the most difficult and troubled childhoods of anyone you will meet but I'm extremely happy and very glad I'm alive now.  If you seriously are contemplating suicide then you need to speak to your parents, friends, and doctors.\n\nSecondly, none of us, and no online test is capable of giving you an accurate diagnosis of what might be "wrong with you."  Only a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist can do that and only after long periods of examination.  Don't trust anyone who wants to diagnose you over a two paragraph yahoo question or your responses a series of 20 mispelled and grammatically incorrect questions on the internet.  Please use your doctors as much as possible, that is what they are there for.  Don't ask us what's wrong with you, ask them.\n\nThirdly, Depression is not a weakness of personality or a physical lack of strength, it is a psychological disease.  Let's say that you broke your leg or you had a terrible burn or some other sort of physical injury and you went to a different hospital, you wouldn't lie about not being burnt or having a broken leg and run away from treatment.  But thats the difficulty with psychological diseases is that people are afraid to seek treatment.  Don't be afraid.  It can be difficult and it can take a lot of effort but it will make your life better.  Growing up can be extremely difficult for many people, the ages of 12-15 for boys and 11-14 for girls especially. For some people this adolescent angst, or anger, is more pronounced and others much less an issue but it does fade in time.  So trust, me and stick to it.\n\nAs far as the medications, one of the most major critiscm of  anti-depressants is that they can have a tendency to make sucidal thoughts more powerful at first.  However, stick with it and it will go away.  Remember, that ultimately the decision to do damage to yourself is in your hands not the drugs so remember that suicide is murder.  Murder doesn't hurt the person who dies but everyone who knows them.  Don't  do it to your parents and your friends and your grandmother and everyone else who cares about you.\n\nOn another note:\nI think that you can rule of Schizophrenia because that develops in people normally from the ages of 20-35.  Also the anti-psychotics that your Grandmother is on are extremely different and more powerful then the anti-depressents you have been prescribed.  Psychotic disorders are terribly sad and very poorly understood.


We have been through the ringer with my parents. With all the fights and backstabbing, we just want to do it "our way" and if that means we have to pay for it all, then so be it. I love my parents, but with all the turmoil, this has become a nightmare when it should be the happiest time of my life.

Please tell them what you wrote.  They should want this day to be the most wonderful day for you.  Yes most parents want a say in it and because they pay for it they expect it. But who planned their wedding???  Our parents planned ours and I regret it still many years later.  Tell them this is our day, we value your opinion and will compromise as best we can but we want it to be special for us.  Tell them you will pay for or whatever it takes.  If there are parts that you can agree on let them pay for that.


I want to know how I can calculate the total pressure of a day that has 18 degrees of temperature

You have to know the pressure for each hour and then divide by 24\nand you have your average.


i want to use my pC in the US to call my girl friend in  Johannesburg  South Africa but I dont know if Yahoo offers the PC to PC services on her end

If your galfriend has internet access in South Africa then, yes, she can have yahoo messenger with voice. If she doesnt, ask her to download and install it. it's free u know.
