I believe that I am basically a good person. I work hard, I look after my family. I try to help anyone whenever I can. I do a lot of charity work. In a nutshell, I do my best to be as good a human being as I can be , although like everyone I have my faults . I do not believe in any type of god and I believe that all religions are man made. According to you, will I go to hell because I don't believe what you believe despite the fact that I am basically a good person ?

The hardest people to reach with the Gospel are like you, just "good folks." Isiah wrote, "All our righteousness, is as filthy rags." In Hebrew, it is "used menstrual cloths." Our equivalent of Used kotex. Since this is the "Best" we can do, we'd better have Someone's True Righteousness to put in our place. That's where Jesus comes in, He paid the Acceptable Price for our Redemption. The only One to never sin in any way, "Imputes His Righteousness unto us." and then, we are in God's eyes as Righteous as His Only Begotten Son. There is no other way, Jesus said. "I Am the door to the sheepfold, if any man tries to enter by any other way(religion) he is the same as a thief & a robber."


Me and this guy have been friends since like 1st grade and i always liked him and he always knew but now i am falling in LOVE!  When he looks at me i can't think even.  He is so cute and he talks to me and laughs with mebut i don't know if he really likes me.  It seems like he flirts with me.  My friend likes him too but she is younger.  I thnk he thinks i am pretty.  I don't know what to do.  We were talking about girlfriends and boyfriends in this video game we used to play and he said he had a girlfriend in it.  Then realy fast he said "in real life too"  he acted all weird and nervous.  Should i flirt with him too.\n\nDo I need to approach him directly or should i let him make a move?  I am soo stuck and don't know what to do.  Should I wait it out and be nice to him and see what happens?\n\nPLEASE HELP!!!

If you two are really that good of friends, then nothing can ruin that friendship. Be honest with him & let love take its course. If he's not cool with it; let him know that you still value your friendship & would like to remain friends. Flirt with him & have fun. Friends of the opposite sex are always fun to have around. The key is to take it slow.


Please read the following links first, thank you...\nhttp://www.csicop.org/intelligentdesignwatch/fossil-record.html\nhttp://www.csicop.org/intelligentdesignwatch/rocks.html\nFirst, NO BIBLE VERSES!  THIS QUESTION DOESN'T CALL FOR IT!  While this isn't my field of study it seems pretty simple to me and explains it well so anyone can understand it.  HOw, when there is evidence like this, can people deny it?  I have never understood that.  Do you understand it and how this is denied??

Well, there IS a good explanation. The story about creation is a way how simple people explained stuff to themselves. \nYou see, if you read the creation theory, you'll see the things appeared in the similar order than they actually did. \nAt first, there was "light", which of course means the glowing mass of gasses and molten metals in the emptiness of space. When it cooled down and the water condensed, they became earth and water. \nLater on, then plants appeared, after them the animals and as the last one, humans, which are only about thirty thousand years old. \n\nIf you try to represent this to simple people, as the peoples of near east 2000 years ago no doubt were, you'll have trouble making them understand what 65 million years is and how come a dinosaur would evolve from an one-cell creature. So you make up a god and tell them the story happened in 7 days and they go away happy with their own understanding of the process. \n\nIt's basically the same, just VERY simple. \n\nWhat I don't understand, however, is HOW the hell nowadays, in the era of computers and high technology, some EQUALLY simple people can exist. \nWell, for THEM, the theory of evolution CERTAINLY doesn't exist, their mentality remained at the same point of functioning as it was 2000 or even 5000 years ago, I'm afraid.


I really have a problem with gay people. Not the people but the fact that they are gay. Is it wrong of me to disagree with their choices? I have a few friends who are gay or Bi and they are cool but i dislike the "gay" lifestyle. What im asking is is it ok for me to hate that someone is gay but not hate them for being gay?

No...that's the same way with God. He loves the homosexual person but hates the homosexual act itself. You can definitely like a gay person without approving of their lifestyle, because there's more to a person than just their sexual orientation. Somehow, as soon as we hear that someone is gay, that seems to overshadow everything else about that individual, which is unfortunate.


that i wont be with him if he dont make anouf money because i don't want to be poor. is that worng?

How old is your boyfriend. Aren't you a little bit young to be worried about a mans finances?


There are so many mispelled words and the puctuation is awful.  Try using the spell check.

There are so many butchered sentences because many are young kids who either can't type properly or they really have poor grammar.

THE MAN PLAYS A SPORT THATS KNOWN IN AMERICAN AND IRELAND

You can see pictures of old Irish paper money at this site, none of them have pictures of  Americans.\nPre 1928 British notes were used in Ireland and they depicted Britannia or British royals. \nFrom 1929 - 1941 notes had a picture of a Ploughman \n1928 - 1977 - a picture of Lady Lavery\n1976 - 1993 - pictures of Scotus, Jonathon Swift, W.B.Yeats, and the harpist O'Carolan.\n1922 -2001 - Catherine McAuley, James Joyce, Daniel O'Connell, Douglas Hyde and Charles Stuart Parnell.\n2002 The Euro. The same throughout Europe, no people depicted.


I only have Social Security Disability for an income, which makes it impossible for me to pay for new dentures.

My mother had the same problem because she was on SS. Look in the phone book and surrounding areas and call each and every dentist. Ask them if they accept payment plans. Also, call your nearest Department of human services and ask them if they refer you to someone. Have you thought of traveling. In Austin, Texas you can get them through a program. I will give you the link below. Also if you go farther south, you can find them way cheap, like $500.00. Towards Mexico. Good Luck!


This question is for those of you out there who trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.\n\nDoes it break your heart (as it does mine) when you hear that precious Name, the Name that died for everyone, abused (blasphemed) and treated as worthless by someone you know, or perhaps by a stranger?  What do you say to that person, and how do you say it?  Are you confrontational, or do you take a loving, "Come, let us reason together" approach, one that is done in gentleness and respect for the person you are talking with?  Or do you walk away and say nothing?  How do you personally handle a situation like that?  Also, does the way Hollywood blaspheme God's Name keep you away from going to see the latest films?  What about television?  What shows do you avoid watching?\n\nIn case anyone wonders why I am asking this question, my answer is this:  Everyday people are taking a stand for something they believe in (gay rights, pro choice, etc).  That is what I am doing.  Taking a stand.

Thanks for respectfully asking us all to answer... Great thinking in your question, I think.\n\nHere is part of your dilemma: \n\nYou "say" come let us reason together .. but what happens is your clan hears: "Come let us proselytize the heathen .. you listen with an open mind, and we will tell you the way it IS"\n\nYou say your god is "blasphemed," when this actually is a victimless crime .. this imaginary "being" does not exist, and is only an anthropomorphic representation of reality, made up by towel-headed people thousands of years ago, at a time when they did not have even a concept of how to keep fleas from infesting the bedding in their tents and earthen-floored huts.  In today's world, your clan claims to hear voices in your heads from this imagionary (non)"being" .. and many of you are trying to legislate the messages you hear in your heads to legally direct those of us who know you are crazy and really, REALLY far-out delusional.... but, that does not matter when the SWAT police crash into our homes to enforce these "god-driven" laws.\n\nIf your clan had your way, we would be back in the Inquisition, with things like "blasphemy" a crime to be punished by threats of force, or lethal force, "where necessary."  This kind of irrational and unrational stuff is the reason why we MUST seperate religion and state.\n\nYou stand for what you believe in, Sister, biblical comic book in hand, and your "gang" around you .. pardon me if I remain seated, reading a philosophy or physics book, OK?


a while back my windows media quit letting me burn cd's now it gotten to where I can't even copy cd's from my tower

my sister is 15 years old and she always asks me about sex.wen i walk through her room i hear pumping.i once spied on her from the tree and saw that she wasnt having sex with a man but with pillows!!! this is a true story, no lie. i am her older sister, she even tries to, u know what i mean.wat if she was pregnant now with a pillow!!who will marry her??her life would be wasted. what should i do other than talk to her(because i did and its no use) she wouldnt stop!!i can cant tell my parent theyll kill her, what should i do??

My dear Sarah, how can she get pregnant with a pillow?  Don't worry, it's just a phase, she will get over it.  She is just experiencing feeling for the first time and they are over whelming her.  Let her be or educate her properly about sex.  This is nothing to worry about.  Every person whether male or female, goes through puberty.  It's no big deal.  I bet you did it too, just didn't have a nosy older sister spying on you.  (I don't mean to be rude, but it's hard not to be sarcastic.  Sorry)


im having a pretty big party and the guy a like and my best friend is gunna be there..but i also think my crush might actually like me..but i dont wanna hurt my friend shes waay sensitive!\nhow can i get alone time w/ my crush..w/out my best friend there or getting mad??

explain that it's important to you that you have a bit of alone time with your crush. If she is your bestfriend she'll understand, if not...


The guy is a dark taiwanese and the girl is canadian.

all this mixed race bull crap it does not even matter what race you are or are not it is the way the parents look is the way the children will come out check it if a white monkey and a green monkey had a child what would it look like a freakin monkey duh! i really wish you people who think about reproducing get the facts first before you conceive these children that are going to be freaked up and make the world freaked up place trying to un do what you so called want to be parents do to them trying to make them beautiful by mixing races why not worry about the love that conceives the child whether it is so called ugly or so called beautiful beauty is only skin deep peal that and what do you have  NOT a darn thing

I have been told I have hperthyroidism and wanted to know if there were any herbs I can take that might help me?

Bugleweed and lemon balm help to normalize the overactive thyroid. Lemon balm also inhibits the binding of thyroid-stimulating hormones receptors. \n\nMotherwort may relieve heart palpitations.\nPassionflower reduces anxiety. \nQuercetin is an anti-inflammatory. \nMilk thistle helps the liver provide proper binding proteins. \n\nImmune-suppressing herbs such as Stephania root and Indian sarsaprilla help break the circle of cellular damage. \nAnti-inflammatory herbs such as licorice and Chinese foxglove support the adrenals.


does that mean that they have contracted the disease

First, the rubeola virus causes measels. Rubella is German measels, which is a completely different virus. This confusion often arises since the measels vaccine is given as an MMR injection. MMR stands for Measels, Mumps and Rubella, and this lets you be protected from all three with a single shot.\n\nHigh levels of IgM antibodies are a sign of recent or current infection. If a person tests strongly positive for anti-rubella IgM then yes, they have the disease (or at least have had it within the last several weeks). Over time the level of IgM will drop and the level of IgG will rise. In the case of rubella, it takes about 6 weeks for the IgM to disappear.\n\nOn the other hand, if someone has only IgG antibodies they either had a previous infection or have received vaccine for that virus.\n\nA great reference for medical tests is:\n\nMosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests by Kathleen and Timothy Pagana.

My male friends tell me that they do not like women chasing them.  They say it makes them feel emasculated and useless.  "At first," one friend reports, "a woman chasing me is flattering but then I start to wonder, What's wrong with her?  I want to be the man."  Yet another friend states, "Women should be a challenge, not just available for anything.  That kind of woman is good for a fling but not for a lifetime."  I have always been a chaser.  Is it really so wrong...?

well, my craneal concusioned friend, i believe it may be true according to ur cultural background for once, but also it just might say that the guys who are telling u they dot like being chase my opinion is that they are having some self confidence issues.  The whole " UGA UGA me man strong, u woman stay in cave" deal still lingers in many men these days, they got problems coping with the fact that we are equals, even if they deny it, they just can`t help it, so understanding is in order,  maybe toning down the stalking... er i mean chasing just a bit.\nP.S.  just for the record, i really enjoy it when a woman is trying to hook up with me in a very funny but strong way.


I don't like to classify myself as something... but if it must... I'm a raver.  At least, that's what everyone else classifies me as. (Yes, I go to raves and wear bright crazy sh-t.)  \n\nBut because of this... People think I'm a drug addict, I sleep around, and do anything and everything.  When I was in high school, I was constantly being pulled aside by teachers and counslers... So it's not just the other students who thought this.\n\nWhy is this world so damn judgemental!?

Congratulations on avoiding the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" that trip up many ravers.  Like it or not, right or not, that is the stereotype.  It came about because there ARE so many ravers who are drug addicts, who sleep around, and who do stupid things with their lives and bodies.\nStereotypes and quick judgment are survival mechanisms.  When your distant ancestors were living on the African savanna, they had to make quick decisions and form general concepts about people and things around them every hour of every day just to survive.\nHumans change slowly.  Anyone who claims to not be judgmental about people is lying to you.\nTake "Do No Harm" as your first rule in dealing with others; and just ignore what people think about you and live your life in the best way you know how.


does your "thing" really gets sensitive (as my husband would call it) right after ejaculation??? my husband is always trippin' out everytime i touch it after he cums!!!

My husband has that problem too sometimes, but not all of the time.


I have to start applying by the end of this year. Not sure which field or major to do. What should I do?

No this is not a problem at all. Most universities provide a exploratory studies or a undeclared option so that you can figure out what you want to study while in college.  A majority of people me included end up changing there major a couple times before they graduate anyway.  Most universities require baccore or required classes that hit almost every options at the school and these are a great way to figure out what would interest you the most.


Yes, I visited Egypt in 1982.\nBack then, it was a treat visiting the Cairo Museum, and the pyramids and sphinx at Giza.  I love seeing the history of Egypt.\nPeople were fairly nice, but the country was filthy dirty.  I hope someone has cleaned it up since then.


IDK WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE IM SOO GOOD AT BASKETBALL BUT SOCCER IS THE ONLY SPORT I HAVE NOT  TRIED I WANNA DO BOTH BUT I CAN'T PICK BOTH.

Basketball would be the best. Soccer is more famous but if your looking for the sport with all the satisfaction and coolness then basketball is it. The fact that your good at it only improves it. Basketball needs way more physical fitness and mental attitude and if your a basketball player you'll gain an air and an attitude unlike in soccer. So take my word as I play it myself and go to basketball.

I am 17 yes i know age seems young but i love this guy and he loves me we have a strong bond and believe me i am mature in my relationship we plan to get married when i turn 18, i care deeply, this is not puppy love. He makes my days awesome.  ok so i wanna get married right well im not in high school im already in college so its not like yeah lol. tell me what you think please.

Once your of legal age, only you can make the choice if your too young or not.  I will tell you from experience though the younger you are when you get married the harder it is to make it long term.  The reason is that there is just a lot of life to experience and live in the next 6 or so years of your life.  I wish you luck because I know that your going to do it regardless of anyones opinion.  So just stay true, and never give up.

Hi,\ni cant solve the questions  like below\n\nhow many zeros are there at the end of 120!\n\nOR\n\nhow many zeros are there at the end of 125!\n\nOR\n\nhow many zeros are there at the end of 129!\n\n\nHow do i solve this type of question ?\n\none should not break the factorial...is not it ?\n\nit is not expected one to do 129!=129 x 128X 127....x 1 ....is not it ?\n\nthen how to solve this question (without calcutator) ?

You have to find the highest factor of 5 that divides n! to find the number of zeros in n!\nThere is a formula for this:\nfloor(n/5) + floor(n/25) + floor(n/125) + ... \nthe series clearly ends since some power of 5 will exceed n.\n\nGet it?


“F***ing stupid pieces of s***, go f***ing with the tapirs in Oklahoma, and for a change why not going visiting first grade, that’s if you find anything like that there – like the “West hemisphere”

Really, how successful is it to change careers to do something totally opposite you are doing right now.  My job is ok.  Great pay, benefits, and very flexible, but I'm not as passionate as I once was.  I want to go into something else, but I'll risking a look lifestyle wise, and yes my lifestyle is important to me.

Why don't you try to do something outside of work to keep your passion alive?\n\nTry a hobby, a craft or explore something you have always wanted to such as painting, water skiing, sky diving, learning Russian, or whatever strikes your fancy.\n\nLife is short.  Explore it all.


Hi there i was just wondering has anyone done pole dancing for lossing weight ?\n\nin Ireland were i live its after sweeping the nation !!!\nGirls are swearing by this method , and they say ther husbands/ boyfriends are benifiting from it to..\n\nanayone got info on it,

Wow!  In NY, you see them all the time, Girls Girls Girls pole dancing in the strip joints!  You probability can lose weight after strutting around in high-heels wearing short skirts or hot pant....then when your husband/boyfriend watches that dance, you can burn off more calories dancing again on another kind of pole.  Good Luck and Happy Dancing!


I was wondering if the amount of days American kids have off from school as well as the two to three months they have off entirely has a detrimental effect on their learning, and if so, should the summer vacation be eliminated and some holidays and American kids be in school year-round?

American children do get too much time off. For one, the government has made week long vacations for holiday seasons(for example, most students get two to three weeks of rest for winter alone). Second, because of the religious and ethnic diversity of the nation, holidays of all types are being made into federal vacation days (Such as Jewish and Islamic festivals) Third, because of the sum of money needed to pay teachers to essentially babysit (Come on, American schools are just not that good anymore!), the government made summer vacation, an entire three month long rest with very little purpose. \nI personally do think that school should be all year. Most come back from summer forgetting everything from the previous year, and year-round schooling would resolve that while decreasing laziness and drop-out rates, most of which are very high.


I JUST GOT THE NEW ROGER WATERS CD AND IT STATES RIGHT ON THE FRONT COVER "WILL NOT PLAY ON PC/MAC". I DON'T CARE ABOUT IT AND GOT THE CD ANYWAYS BUT, IS THIS NOW A NEW THING TO STOP PEOPLE FORM MAKING COPIES? AND IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS SO I CAN COPY IT OR EVEN PLAY IT ON MY COMPUTER?

Yes there is a way around this. A wonderful program called AnyDVD. It decrypts dvd's, but it also does the same for cd's. I would recommend the whole suite of their prodcuts (anydvd, clone cd, clone dvd). You can check it out at http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html It's bs that artists are doing this now, especially since we'll always find a way around it. Good luck


How do you like your man to keep his hair down below? please elaborate a little: totally clean (0), little patch (1), trimmed short (2), trimmed a little (3) or totally natural (4).  Pleas be serious and answer honestly.

I thought I liked it trimmed but when he shaved it all off it looked and felt so nice. It's a pain but he keeps it shaved for me now and while I leave a landing strip for him.

I've tried hydrocortizone, but that didn't work. Any other suggestions?

There are no sure fired cures for any types of poison like that but to get some relief, you can try an over the counter medication called IVY DRY.  It seems to be very effective.   If the rash is really bad you may need to see a doctor for some steroid (prednisone) treatment or other prescription medication.


Again, yes. But not this year. They are not as strong a team as they were compared to past years. England and Netherlands are strong too. So this world cup will be one of the more exciting ones


my operating sistemis WINDOWS MILLENNIUM EDITION recently i reformated my computer cause it was infected.later i couldnt open folders on my external hard drive.i have different type of folders: folder-like,word pad,and scrap folder(look like torn piece of paper).this last one i cant open.somebody said something about "PERMITIONS",that folder its nothing but recipes i copy from internet.

can't tell you much about ME coz it was a total disaster for microsoft....as far i think that folder you hav't provided here enough details for me to come to a conclusion.


A step-down transformer connected to a 120 V electric generator has 30 loops on the primary for each loop in the secondary. (a) What is the voltage of the secondary? (b) If the transformer has a 90 A current in the primary, what is the current in the secondary? (c) What are the power input and output?

(a)\nn_o / n_i = v_o / v_i\nwhere n_i is the number of coils on the inpt side of the transformer and n_o is number of coils on the output side.  Similarly, v_i is the input voltage, v_o is the output voltage.\nYou know the ratio of the output coils to input coils is 1/30 (1 output for every 30 input), so this is the ratio of input to output voltages.\n\n(b) Power [energy] is always conserved.  If you know the input voltage and input current, you can calculate the input power.\nP = V * I\nInput power = output power (ideally), and you calculated the output voltage in step (a), just solve for output curent.\n\n(c) Energy is always conserved, thus, so is power.


I am 20 years old. I have terrible acne. Nothing I used seems to help. I have tried proactiv, acne free, and a whole lot of other over the counter acne products nothing seems to help. Most of those products burn my skin and never clear up the acne so I stop using them. I dont have the money to visit the dermatologist right now. Any suggestions would be of a great help. Thanks.

I was in the same boat you are in. I am 26 and still struggle with acne. I have not totally eliminated my acne, but was able to reduce the breakouts and lighten some of the scarring by following the regimen outlined on acne.org. I also use a fade cream called Topiclear Number One (it has helped a lot). I still a way to go before I have totally clear skin, but the advice on acne.org has really helped me.\n\n***It kills me that people assume that your skin condition is associated with not drinking enough water or poor eating habits. Acne is a chronic disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. If you have acne, it won't matter what you eat or how much water you drink.


Before Arafat, Palestinians didn't really have one, accepted leader for a long time. The last accepted leader was Haj Amin El Huseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem. He was of course a Muslim and became famous during World War 2. He was a personal friend of Adolf Hitler and helped him in creation of a strong Muslim military unit that operated in several locations, included the Balkans. It is said that this unit, a battalion, I believe, surprised even the Nazi Wehrmacht.\nOne of the legends calls Arafat himself a nephew of Amin El Huseini. One thing is clear, El Huseini was as accepted in his time among his people, as Arafat was in ours. Hope that helps.

i want to write a program through which i can search all the files through out my computer. to do this i need to read the entire fat . thats why i want to read fat.

Nobody would ever go that low level in an application - never! In fact, you'll run into great difficulty if you try. Modern NT-based OSes (XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Vista) will NOT let you have any direct access to hardware, through the HAL.\n\nThere are plenty of APIs in Win32 and .NET Framework to let you work with files and directories. Build yourself a nice recursive system with the existing APIs, rather than trying an improbable stunt like going to the FAT file system... (and are you even sure your system uses FAT? It could well be NTFS in a modern system.)


may be it is silly to ask is some one virgin or not ..specialy in america ....but i realy want to marry with virgin girl ...it will be very helpfull to know that ...many girls lie about this ...i want to know how i descover it ?

You can only ask and trust the response.  If you want to marry the woman, hopefully you feel you can trust her to be honest.


I need to know it in order to do things correctly


Just to show America how they support Daddy's policies?\n\nNo one's saying they HAVE to. This has nothing to do with any other president in any other political party. I just think it would express the kind of filial piety we could all use a bit of right now. Don't you?

My son says yes, please. He is a sniper.


Here's the problem: Let A be any set and let f be a funtion from A to the set of real numbers. Define a relation on A to be x is less than or equal to y if f(x) is less than or equal to f(y). Find a necessary and sufficient condition on f for the relation to be a partial ordering on A. This is exactly how it's given and it's about as clear as mud to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Im not entirely sure if this is correct but, I know that a relation is a partial ordering if it is reflexive, transitive and anti-symmetric.  \n\nSo to satisfy the reflexive part we need that x>=x, which is trivially satisfied by f(x)>=f(x).  For the transitive part we need that if x>=y and y>=z then x>=z, which will be true if for f(x)>=f(y) and f(y)>=f(z) then f(x)>=f(z).\nFor the anti-symmetric part we need that if x>=y and y>=x then x=y, so when f(x)>=f(y) and f(y)>=f(x) then x=y\n\nSo this would suggest that the necessary and sufficient conditions on f are that: (1) when f(x)>=f(y) and f(y)>=f(z) then f(x)>=f(z).  (2) if f(x)>=f(y) and f(y)>=f(x) then x=y.  So f would appear to be one to one.\n\nI hope this helps


I HATE BOTS AND BOYCOTT ANYTHING THEY PROMOTE!!!!

Most bots have URLs and vulgar language in whatever they type. You can't get anymore blatant than that, so I usually know initially if it's a bot or not, and ignore it.


Ok, I have been reading a book about people that have disapperared suddenly, the book doesn't let on what they think happened, but they give plenty of hints about what htey think happened, in other words ALIENS! Aliens took them. I asked another question about this, but I didn't put what I thought about them. I know they are real and they are out there, we jst don't know where exactly. YET, yet being the crucial word here. I believe Area 51 is using reverse psycology on us, they make up all of these rumors about aliens being in Area 51, make sure humans pass it around, but as it turns out all of the rumors are TRUE! i also believe before we were all here, there was a conflict a pretty big one fro that matter, aliens from all over the galaxy came to claim the Earth an huge battle broke out and in the end they all gave up and let the Earth alone, but that doesn't mean they don't check up on us regularly, and they are still trying to conquer the Earth. Read Additional Details.

I personally believe there is more intelligent life in the universe then us. Earth is just one planet, revolving around one star. There is over 100 billion stars just in our galaxy, and each star have their own planets revolving around them. And there is plenty more than just our galaxy, possibly endless amounts. So to believe that we are the only existing beings in the universe is pretty ignorant.\n\nAbout Area 51, I think it is just a distraction. The government has the ability to shut down entire networks on TV, yet there are so many movies, books, documentaries, and TV shows about Area 51. If there was really anything to it then the government would be censoring all these sources for people to learn about Area 51. But the government wants us to believe that there is "Aliens" there to distract us while they are handling the real extra terrestrial beings somewhere else\n\nI highly doubt that any alien races would battle over the earth and then suddenly disappear. There are many more fertile planets in the universe that are much bigger and much more useful.

She is 11 year's old and she wants to lose some weight before summer.

Teach her to eat better foods in moderation and to become more active.  By better foods I mean low-fat(not no-fat) meats and plenty of fruits, vegetables, and yes carbs in moderation.  No really fatty sugary foods and not large quantities.  If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.  Being active takes energy and burns more calories than sitting around.  Also, when you become more active your body usually craves the things it needs which you get from healthy foods.  Those foods that were not so tasty before will start looking better.  This is a long term fix.  Over time you will be healthier and have less body fat.  The quick fix of course is to find some crazy diet where you eat only certain foods or don't eat at all.  This will drop weight quickly, but nobody stays on those diets and they can do more harm in the long run than good.

my boyfriend works for the rhode island carpenters union. because of issues in the company they split them up to work under diffrent payrolls. my boyfriend now gets paid by a company in massachusetts. five weeks ago when he got his first paycheck he noticed his hourly wage had been increased. he thought this was great and part of the new company. now they say it was wrong and want the money back. can they do this? he is part of the union and it wasnt his fault but his bosses for putting in his wrong work title

It depends on the state and the union contract. The answer is most likely yes because he did not sign anything new saying that he was entitled to the extra money. Sometimes the company values the employee, so they will let you keep the extra money, but I do not believe they have any obligation to let you keep that extra money. \n\nThe flip side is if they have been paying him weekly for five weeks and just figured it out, you can argue that you had a reliance on the new paycheck. Once you is a mistake twice maybe, but five weeks is different. Depends all on how often you get a paycheck too.

Your finger doesn't even have to be bleeding, and you still put it in your mouth.

It is an impulsive reaction to apply pressure. Whether it is by squeezing your finger with your other hand to easy the nerve endings or to suck on it to ease the pain. I have never seen anyone not smash their fingers or toes and not want to apply pressure to the area.


The problems I think a lot, I cant sleep, I cant eat well, I get migrine headache when I am anxiuos about something that I am doing and its not coming up early or time is fast catching up with me.

I want to send a package to a friend in Iraq (US soldier).  I want to know what method is best. Any other information from someone who's done this would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Certain conditions and restrictions apply when mailing items to military and civilian personnel deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Middle East and Persian Gulf areas.\n\nPrograms that allowed the general public to send mail addressed to "Any Service Member" were cancelled more than a year ago by the Department of Defense's (DoD). While popular with the public during Desert Storm and other operations, DoD's concern with security and transportation constraints led to canceling this program. The DoD recommends that individuals and organizations wishing to mail letters and care packages to individual servicemembers overseas refocus their activities into supporting the servicemember's family members at home.\n\nThe DoD recommends visiting www.defendamerica.mil and clicking the "Support Our Troops" icon as a means for the public to find out ways to support servicemembers.\n\nAddressing Tips\n\nThe DoD has requested that those who send mail use the servicemember's full name (with or without rank or rating), unit and APO/FPO (Air/Army Post Office or Fleet Post Office) address with the nine-digit ZIP Code (if one is assigned) and a return address. For packages, mailers are asked to print on one side only with the recipient's address in the lower right portion.\n\nProhibitions\n\nWhile there are specific restrictions for each five-digit military post office ZIP Code (APO/FPO), generally speaking, it is prohibited to mail the following to this region: \n\n• obscene articles (prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc.); \n• pork or pork by-products; \n• any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials. Although religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith are prohibited in bulk quantities, items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible. \n\nRestrictions are updated every other Thursday in the Postal Bulletin. Customers may also obtain this information by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS, or by visiting their local post office.\n\nAll military units are assigned an APO or FPO ZIP Code and in many cases that ZIP Code travels with the unit. The Postal Service places APO/FPO mail on special charter flights, commercial airlines, and military service aircraft at military and U.S. airports. When planes arrive overseas, the mail is tendered to the military and transported via local military transportation to delivery points.\n\nAccording to the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA), depending on where the servicemember is located, letters and Priority Mail parcels to Kuwait normally take 10 to 15 days. Parcel Post packages take longer since they don't travel by aircraft within the U.S. prior to overseas dispatch. There may be size restrictions and customs declaration form requirements to some locations as mail going through the MPSA can be subject to the host country customs requirements. The time to deliver varies depending on the category of mail and the country of destination. Delivery may also take longer when armed forces are on the move during periods of heightened activity. \n\nPackaging Tips\n\nIt's a good idea to keep the following in mind to ensure that packages are delivered promptly.\n\n• Extreme Temperatures: Desert temperatures typically exceed 100 degrees.  \n• The Box: Select a box strong enough to protect the contents and large enough to accommodate cushioning. If reusing a box, cover all previous labels and markings with a heavy black marker or adhesive labels. \n• Cushioning: Cushioning the contents with newspaper is a novel way to send news from home. Styrofoam and bubble wrap are also good choices. Close and shake the box. If it rattles, add additional cushioning to keep items from shifting. \n• Batteries: Occasionally a battery powered item such as a radio or electric razor will turn itself on during shipment. Be sure to remove and wrap the batteries separately. \n• Sealing:


Californians say that they would allow undocumented workers who have lived in the United States for five years an opportunity to become citizens, as long as they remained employed, learn English and pay taxes and fines they may own. \nWhy should California give Citezenship to illegal immigrants?\nWill it help us in the end?

well here i have two cool websites for u the first shows the opinions which Alan Greenspan has about illegal immigrants read the sixth review which talks about the contributions of immigrants . and the second talk about the trues and lies about undocumented workers .\nhttp://www.businessweek.com/2000/00_14/c3675078.htm\nFederal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has spoken repeatedly about the contributions of both skilled and unskilled immigrants. He has advised Congress to ''open up our immigration rolls significantly''\nhttp://www.durrani.com/newsite/news_items/nactive_disp.asp?ID=1306


Do you idiots still think Kobe shouldn't shoot as much. His team is trash when he doesn't when he drops 62 they beat teams like Dallas. Today's game made me sick. How can you not allow the bset player in the NBA to get his 30 attempts against the Suns. There game plan was on the verge of retarded.

One player can't win EVERY game -- look at the Sixers and Allen Iverson.

Mckinney and her attorney claim she is guilty of being "Black in Congress". why would she say such a thing, when the color of her skin had nothing to do with it.  She is the one who chose not to wear her congressional pin that day, She is the one who chose not to respond when the officer called to her three times. She is the one who chose to strike the officer when he stopped her to I.D. her.\nMcKinney also made the sarcastic statement (paraphrasing) that she does not have time for nonsense like this when she is trying to handle our country's business. Well I personally do not want someone that arrogatn and irresponsible handling my country's business.  I hope the Capitol Police Division prosecute this "Lady" to the fullest extent.  When are our elected officials going to be held responsible for their own actions?  McKinney needs to stop playing the race card, publicly apologize, and take her punishment like the strong black woman she is.

Don't even get me started! I hate her. I live in Georgia, sadly, and I can't believe that she's back in Congress. What a bunch of f*cking morons to even elect her again. \n\nFact of the matter is she is a bumbling idiot who needs to just fall off the side of the earth and never come back. Bullsh*it that she is "handling our country's business". Bullsh*it. She doesn't do anything. She just sits on her fat a$$ and complains. \n\nGoing back to her being black in Congress is just a bunch of horsesh*t. She just wants to get attention. Yes, she hit the officer because she is a cow and has no respect. She hit him so she could get on TV and cry like a baby that it's "becasue she's black". Again, BULLSH*T!. Whaa-whaa cry me a mother f*cking river. If it were becasue she was black then she wouldn't be in Congress! I still don't know who voted for her or why, but whoever they are needs to have a reality check. \n\nI have always hated her. Ever since she was in office the first time. She's a reatard in action. She needs to go to jail and pay the price. \n\nI agree with you. She needs to make a huge public apology saying how stupid she is and that it was her fault and that it's not because she's black then turn around and kiss her own sorry black a$$.\n\nIn reponse to this: \nproblem here is that you white Americans became so scared of being call racist you gave blacks,Hispanics,Muslim,and whoever else the get out of jail card away along time ago now if you look at them wrong you are in trouble instead of debating the accusation to find the truth in any matter you ran with you re tail between you're legs,you can thank liberals for that not all issues are about race.but you let them make it so.i long for the days of simple right,and,wrong.by the way i am of Mexican descent. \n\nExcuse me? If you would get your head out of your a$$ then you might see differently. It doesn't matter what we "white Americans" are always called racist no matter what we do. We're racist if we say to a black person -oh pardon me I should be politically correct, African Amercian- to shut up, Oh my god! All hell breaks lose. They say, "It's because I'm black right?" No, it's becasue you're loud. I live in GA, okay? Not all black people are like this. Lots are just awesome. I have a lot of black friends and they all agree with me. \n\nLet me tell you this. At my school, here in GA, if we get into a fight with a black, mexican or muslim we are suspended without say. \n\nExample: My brother is in the 8th grade. A Mexican kid, who was expelled from 3 other schools already, hit my brother. Sucker punched him at his locker. My brother hit him back and got suspended. The Mexican got no punishment. People saw the fight. But because my brother was white and the kid was Mexican he, my brother, got suspended. Is that fair? No.\n\nExample 2: A teacher at my school got pumpkins thrown at him, pens, pencils and other things thrown at him. He got a condom put on his computer. (I was in this class.) He gets fired because a black guy pushed him and he grabbed his arm to take him to the discplinary room. Fair? No. \n\nWe fight back but no one hears us. It goes in one ear and out the other. And quite frankly I'm tired of it. I'm tired of getting pushed around and being called a racist because I don't like a black person or because Mexican's speak Spanish in an English class room and it annoys me. \n\nI'm not racist. Lots of black people are awesome and great to be around. I hang out with Mexican's. I'm all for equality. Until someone pushes the wrong button. \n\nThis is the United States baby. I have a right to say whatever I want, whenever I want.\n\n\nIn response:\n"This white american is not afraid of being called racist. because I'm not. I have a black friend who is called " Uncle Joe" by my kids, I work under a black su

That makes two of us. Sometimes I forget changing my clothes when I go to school. Instead of my brown slacks and shirt, I came in with my pajamas. Talk about embarrasing. Sometimes thinking things over twice or thrice helps me.

No they have to wait another 88 years!!!!  2004 was a fluke!  How does the wild card team get home field advantage over the team (Cardinals) with the best record in all of baseball? It's just not right and yes I'm still bitter.  That All-Star game rule is whacked and it needs to be scrapped!

I was in second grade...so hmmm, 30 years or so ago.  I feel terrible about it too.  When we were done I got up from the sand box a little too quickly, said I'd call her later and ran home.  I still haven't called her and I can't even remember her name.  I'm such a heel.


anthropologically, and can you describe them?

1. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). This group of HDCTs mostly affects the skin and joints. With EDS, connective tissue becomes weak. This can cause fragile, sagging skin, and loose joints. \n2. Epidermolysis bullosa (EB). With these disorders, the skin blisters when it is stressed. For example, a hug could cause a blister. \n3. Marfan syndrome. This disorder can affect the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes, bones, and ligaments. People with this syndrome may be unusually tall and thin, with long arms and legs. \n4. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). With this disorder, bones break easily. Sometimes they break for no obvious reason.


Wow- you are tiny- are you sure you want to lose more weight? I would suggest working out- lots of weight machines will help you tone these areas. For your stomach, use a Roman chair- it works wonders.


as far as employment outlook goes?\n\nI've been told that the business B.A, / MBA route is one of the the best.\n\nhttp://www.daylon.com/mba

Anything in business, engineering, or the sciences is great. If you go the humanities route, just be sure to balance class time with internships and independent research, both of which will make you more marketable.  A humanities major also gives you more flexibility in your career path. Worst major? Something you absolutely hate or aren't good at--you'll eventually regret it.\n\nThe Princeton Review.com listed these starting salaries for their most popular majors: \nElectrical Engineering $51,372\nAccounting $41,110\nEconomics/Finance $40,906\nBusiness Administration/Management $38,188\nMarketing $35,321\nPolitical Science $32,999\nEnglish $31,169\nBiology $29,750\nPsychology $27,791\nJournalism $27,646\n\nYou may want to check out the Occupational Outlook Handbook, which tells you about different professions, education needed, salary, and job outlook.

I wanted to know if the movie is anything like the game or are they different?

Is there really gonna be a war between good and evil, heaven and hell?Or is it just a bunch of bull crap?Will it be a physical or mental war?Will it rage between angels and demons or humans?If there was a war between the two which side would you pick?

Good, Evil, whatever. It's all a matter of perspective. Let's just hope that everyone gets killed, then we won't have to worry about it anymore.


I keep getting pulled over like everytime I leave my house and my passangers keep getting arrested for under the influence because they cant find anything to arrest them for but they can prove them wrong when the tests come back yesterday I was pulled over a second time for having no plates on a car I just bought I had the little DMV paper in clear view on my window and told her that I was just pulled over that very morning and wasnt cited but the lady officer searched me any way she pulled my bra and shirt so far out that my brests were exposed to the male officer standing infront of me and to the people whom live here in the mobile home park swimming at our pool which is private property I was not followed in here I was leaving my girl friends house to go pick her up from the police station because they had seen me there eariler and came up and asked for her and arrested her on some bogas warrant in fact when I finally got there to pick her up  the charge was under the inf. what can

Oh my God?! You should sue the crap out of the city, the state, and the country. I mean, you had no plates on your car and your friend had a warrant. I can't believe those pigs would bother you for that. \nPeople complain about frivolous lawsuits but half the people on here say you should sue. For what? Because you and your friend broke the law. Grow up and take responsibilty for yourself.

Yes you can prove your mind!  Brain chemistry!\n\nSoul and spirit, totally different!\n\nNo matter how much you believe in them or faith etc, you are going to find it very, very hard to actually come up with any scientific proof for the existence of a soul or spirit!\n\nSorry folks...! ;-)

pay when they are paying someone avoid it

This is America...you have the right to hire someone to reduce your tax burden if you want.  You can also complain about it instead of doing the same thing.  If someone has an advantage, you look to see if you can also exploit it, not just whine about it!  \n\nLife is about learning the rules...learn the rules of taxes so you can learn how to "reduce" (they HATE the term avoid taxes); you want to be a doctor?  You learn the rules of doctoring at Med School...wanna be a lawyer?  Go to law school.  And, not to be cruel, it's obvious you need to focus on your communication skills or you will never get anywhere!  Learning the rules of communication will change your life and open many doors for you...language is the tool of civilization and if you can't at least use it at a minimum level of comprehension, you're screwed!\n\nGood luck!


I recently read an article about the cyclone off the coast of Australia, I live in Florida and we get hurricanes all the time, so what is the difference between a cyclone and a hurricane??

A cyclone is a low pressure atmospheric mass. In the northern hemisphere they rotate counterclockwise. A high pressure mass is called an anticyclone and rotates clockwise.(For Pacific Ocean)\nHurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise direction around an "eye." The center of the storm or "eye" is the calmest part.(For Altlantic Ocean)\n\nTropical storms occur in several of the world's oceans, and except for their names, they are essentially the same type of storm. In the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Eastern Pacific Ocean, they are called hurricanes. In the Western Pacific Ocean, they are called typhoons. In the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, and Australia, these types of storms are called cyclones.\n Read:http://www.weatherwizkids.com/hurricane1.htm

I have heard of so many women who actually don't do anything except maybe tell him not to do it again.  If I was a woman and that ever happened to me I would break something and I don't care how big he was.  If a man gets away with it the first time he's just going to do it again.

I live at the beach and get that a lot because I've got a nice rack, hehe. I like it. I have a boyfriend and this other guy groped me all during third period today... I loved it, I'm an attention whore! It feels good and makes us feel like we're hott or special enough to deserve their attention. It feels nice to be considered good-looking enough to "help" a guy out like that. At least that's my opinion, but what do I know, I'm only in high school...! =]


With what is now known about the actual documents that made up the Bible, their keepers, their collectors, their bosses, etc. Wars, changes of power, no originals documents left, etc.\nWhat rationale do you have that tells you to believe. It seems reason would lead you the oposite way. My reason tells me not to trust Kings and Warlords with the message God has for me.\nGod's messages to me are simple...\na flower, a tree, a stream...\nthese tell me to care for the earth.\n---\na young childs dead body in today's news of war...\npeople dying because of corporations, with the corporations knowledge, the courts letting them off with a fine(fee)...\nthese tell me enough is enough.\n---\nThere are so many Christians in positions of power around the world, you would think things would be wonderful.\n\nOK hardcore Christians, defend yourself.\nPlease be specific!

OK,\n1. The Bible is unique in its continuity, circulation, translation, survival, teachings and influence on literature.\n\n2. The bible is trustworthy.

This is about the turbine engines used by jet airplanes. I know the first engines were centrifuge, but I dont know the difference int their way of working

In a centrifugal flow jet engine, the air enters the engine from a central intake and is accelerated outward by the impeller. The air is then compressed by ducts which diverge to convert the outward velocity of the air into thrusting pressure out the back of the engine.\n\nIn an axial flow engine, there are a number of rotating fans alternating with non-rotating vanes called stators which are angled in the opposite direction of the fan vanes. Air coming into the engine is pushed backward by the fans and compressed by the stators.  Increased pressure is achieved with each successive pairing of fans and stators having a smaller diameter than the previous set.


I know its infinite..but??? And do you think happens if theoretically you reached the infinite edge? Is it impossible? would you see nothing? Would you disappear?

from what scientists gather, the universe appears to be symmetrical on all sides when viewed from earth. this conclusion was obtained when they found out that cosmic radiation was equal and never varied more than one in ten million parts when measured from any direction in space. \n\nAlso, the distances to the stars in all directions appear to be more or less equal. So that makes the universe symmetrical from earth's perspective.\n\nI dont think we'll ever reach the edge of the universe, becoz u would hav to start travelling there at the start of the big bang, and nothing travels faster than light.\n\nnow try to answer my question on time.


Me and my girl friend had many unprotected sex(almost everyday) since we met around 4 months ago. We pretty much did everything besides anall sex. She recently tested for HIV. We are still waiting for the result to come out. I am wondering if she has negative result for the test, does that mean I will probably be negative as well? Or is it possible still for me to have positive test result? what are the chances?  pretty worried, please help.

Yes, it's still possible that you could test positive.  And, it's also still possible that she could test positive in a later test if you are positive.  Seroconversion for HIV, the process of enough antibodies accumulating in the blood to allow for a reliable positive test result, can take six months.  So, if you already had it, and gave it to her somewhere over the past six months, she wouldn't necessarily test positive yet.

(projected Summer gas prices) or alternative means, i.e. bicycling or carpooling, thx.

No sir I will not sadly, I can't.  The public trans system here is not really what we would consider functional (after seeing more advanced systems that is).\n\nCarpooling is possible, and something I think people should try to do.\n\nAnd if folks can afford it (which I know a lot can't) Buy a HYBRID! I own an 05 Civic Hybrid and I fill up my car about once every 2 weeks.  If we all drove hybrids, gas would have to lower because of simple rules of supply and demand.  Supply stays the same (or lessens in time) and demand cuts about in half.  (based on my own driving).  In my job I get reimbursed for miles driven on the job, and I actually MAKE money on the deal.  My work driving covers my personal driving as well (in funds that is).\n\nI hope it doesn't continue to rise, but at least when I look at my car payment I can feel it was worth it.

I believe that Cortes was disgusted with the sacrificial practices of the Aztecs and was all too happy to destroy Tenochtitlan.  He was then happy to replace the pagan monuments with churches.  Was he right to do this?  Do you think God approved?

Dyslexia refers to any reading difficulty not associated with obvious problems such as bad eyesight. Dyslexia occurs more often in boys and among left-handed individuals. Common dyslexias include the inability to name letters, to read words or sentences, or to recognize words directly even though they can be sounded out. Each kind of dyslexia may reflect different deficits such as in speech-sound processing or memory for word meanings. Likewise, the different dyslexias are probably associated with different brain regions, and most theories focus on nonprimary areas in the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe. (Galaburda, 1994; Rosenzweig, Lieman, et al., 1996;) Recent studies have linked several forms of dyslexia to genetic marker (Grigorenko, 2001; Grigorenko etal., 1997; Grigorenko, Wood, Meyer, & Pauls, 2000).\n\nIt is said to be a neurological disorder with biochemical and genetic markers. Dyslexia was originally defined as a difficulty with reading and writing that could not be explained by general intelligence. One\ndiagnostic approach is to compare their ability in areas such as reading and writing to that which would be predicted by his or her general level of intelligence, but some would say that it is not certain that intelligence should be a predictor of reading or writing ability; and also that the causes, effects and treatments of reading disabilities may be similar for all levels of intelligence.


Okay, we have been together for almost 6 yrs.  We've also been living together for the last 5 1/2 years.  He's asked before and we talk about it all the time, but for some reason, he won't actually go through with it.  I have my suspicions though, don't get me wrong.  We come from completely different backgrounds.  He is Italian/Polish and I am Asian/Black.  I also make a lot more money than him, but I constantly remind him that we are a team and what's mine is his and what's his is mine.  Does anyone have any idea why this man of mine won't actually commit?

I have been with my fiance for almost 8 years now, and he also spoke about wanting to marry me for such a long time. We are also from different backgrounds/countries and we have a ten year age difference (he is older). \n\nNow that I am ready for it and am continuing my education (law school), he somehow does not even want to approach the topic. I guess it is like our mother's would tell us: why buy the milk when you can get the cow for free. lol Or something to that effect. \n\nIf we love our men and our patient, we will get what we want. If they are lucky, we may still want them then! :o) Men have insecurities just as women do, and maybe the money issue is something relevant for the two of you. Just like my fiance is insecure about me becoming a lawyer and he is just a "regular person". Oh well, we will just wait and see. Good luck though!


HOW CAN I CREATE SOFTWARES?\nWILL I BE ABLE TO CREATE SOFTWARES AFTER LEARNING C++ LANGUAGE?

just learning the basic C++ language will not give you a handle on creating software apps. usually creating applications requires you to have a good handle on programming language. it will also mostly require that you know some form of database (either SQL, Access and Oracle). You will also most probably be working in a team (very few software apps are made by locking a programmer in a room and letting him/her churn out code).


me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 yrs and lately he has been asking me if we can sleep together but im not sure if im ready but i love him weve been together so long without any arguements wat would u do?

there is no harm sleeping with him but the problem is that you guys never sleep

I think the change in (financial) status of your B/f is messing with your head. What you need to remember is that you really DON'T have a solid proof that he's cheating on you, so, if you intend to keep him, you may have to broach on the subject very carefully.\nTalk about it with him gently, show your fears as someone who loves him, and is afraid of what the changes in behavior (if there's any) may lead to. \nYou just have to find a way of understanding him, believing in him and loving him without all these suspicions... That is relationship killer number 1!


WHO DO YOU LIKE MORE, YOUR BOYFRIEND OR THIS NEW GUY?? MAYBE IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WITH SOMEONE NEW OR SOMEONE ELSE. IT HAPPENS! AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON. TRUST YOUR HEART, BELIEVE IN YOUR MIND. SIXTH GRADER LIKING A NINTH GRADER!!!! NOT SO SHOCKING!! IF YOU LIKE HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS OLDER, THEN THAT MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST REASON.

I am creating a three tier application.  One GUI, one problem domain class, and one database class.\n\nI can not understand why this won't work.  When I try to open the connection to the database, my program catches a error when it tries to open (initalize) the connection.  It says, file is not found.\n\nI am wanting to search the database (using SQL) and return a record (if exist) to a variable (client) and then use getters to set the information to the text boxes on the gui interface.\n\nBut the trouble I am having is, vb .net claims it can't find the database called "N:\Flash Drive\CIS 334\FinalProject\bin\PPData.mdp", but that is where the file is.\n\nHere are the links to where you can download my project to see if you can help me figure out where I am going wrong.\n\nProject files:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/kevin04/VBProject.zip\n\nJust the database class file \nhttp://www.geocities.com/kevin04/PPDataRENAMED.txt\n\nIf you can help me, I would really appreciate it.

Hey Kevin - \n\nYour db path looks like it points to a mapped drive. And, that mapped drive may be a USB \ Flash drive. My suspicion is that there-in lies your problem.\n\nIf it is a mapped drive & you are able to stick it on the local drive do that just as a test to make sure your code works. You will need to change the connection string.\n\nIf the code does work & you can access the database from a local drive then you've got security or drive caching issues.\n\nMake sure that your code & the user account it is running under has permissions to the drive & folder. If it is a windows app then it is running under your own account.\n\nIf it is a flash drive make sure it doesn't have any security features\software on it. Disable them when you run your code. \n\nIf it is a mapped drive keep in mind that it has to be set to reconnect when you log into the machine. And that it shouldn't be using a special account to log into that drive. \n\nRememeber - mapped drives are a per user concept. When the user logs out, the mapped drive reference goes away. If you have multiple users using this path they all have to use the same drive letter name. Mapped drives can fail in web apps and windows service apps even if it appears the mapped drive exists. As soon as you log out that mapping is gone. \n\nI really hope this helps. I don't have an IDE on the computer I'm on so I didn't really get to look at your code. If you really get stuck please feel free to contact me. \n\ngood luck

Always exfoliate after you shave to remove excess skin cells that can clog pores, also rubbing alcohol will kill bacteria that can cause hairs to get infected. \n\nThese things will help so you don't get shave bumps, after you have shave bumps, there's no quick way to get rid of them, you can try, Visine(eye drops) which may help to reduce redness and swelling.


I need to know how many classes can be missed because I have a cruise paid for at the time summer school starts

It depends on the class.  Some classes don't care about attendance.  So, you just have to show up for the exams.  Other professors are more strict and will take attendance, especially if the class is smaller.  They each have their own individual requirements.


Canada and the USA have shared the longest undefended border in the world and fought as allies in two world wars and Korea. We do billions of dollars in trade, but Americans ( especially American politicians) seem to know very little about Canada!

Ok, so I'm  in a long distance relationship.  My boyfriend flies me from NY to San Diego a few times a year to visit him. Things have been shaky recently, and yet we almost broke up yet we got back together recently.  It's been 5 years now and we're talking about moving in together permenantly. Anyway, usually, when he gets me a ticket it's either direct or 1 layover.  This time, there are 2 layovers!! I couldn't believe it!  And, I went to the website he bought it off (Travelocity) and there were 2 direct flights for cheaper!! I confronted him indireclty and he said it was the cheapest at the time (but I saw the cheap flights only hours after he booked my flight)\n\nI'm 10000% sure he booked a MORE EXPENSIVE  flight just to inconvenience me.  I'm currently not working so it's not an issue of time.. just an issue of inconvenience for no reason.  Some of my friends told me that this was a "test" on his part to see how I'll react.  What should I do?

I don't know any guy who thinks hard enough to do that, or would pay extra money to be sneaky about something.  \nI have a feeling it is a misunderstanding and that you are reading too far into it.  Take it from someone who often reads to far into things, and just relax.\nPlus, lay-overs can be fun!  You can meet all kinds of crazy people at airports and get really drunk with them!

The Bible and Quran are both extremely violent scriptures, yet there is an important difference: While the Jewish God orders the Jews to use any means available to conquer Canaan, just a tiny sliver of our planet, the Muslim God, sends out his Muslims to conquer the whole world.\nAny honest person taking the trouble to read Quran will have to concede that all means of spread of Islam “are good, even terrorism, (as long as it results in spreading Islam).\nThis is clearly documented on several anti-Islamic websites such as http://www.faithfreedom.org \nEspecially interesting is the page referring to **hundreds** of quotes from Quran. All of which are violent: http://www.faithfreedom.org/Quran.htm\nThe Islamic sites provide only very weak refutation to the above claim. And their refutation is easily dismissed by the answers on the anti-Islamic sites. Mostly the “peaceful” statements were “revealed” when Muhammad was steal weak, and not ready to wage the war. When he assembled his army, “Allah” abrogated, all the previous statements, and replaced them with pure violence.

ALL religion causes violence and intolerance of others. Do away with all organized religion, not just Islam.


we have been talking for 5 months now and we hold hands and kiss and stuff but then he tells me that we cant be together because he is afraid that he is going to hurt me emotionally!but i really dont think he is going to hurt me.he is a really good guy but sometimes plays himself off as a jerk.we have talked about the situation like 3 times and decided that we were going to be friends but yet we r still holding hands and are still kissing but i dont know what to do now because i want to be with him not just do stuff with him! he even told me that he loves me like a bunch of times and then i finally said it back and things were good but then he said o we cant be together again..and like i know he likes me but hes just to scared of reationships.and now he is being a really big jerk to me.like we still talk but he is a jerk most of the time except those days that we r holding hands and stuff.. but i am so confused and i have no idea what to do! my friends tell me to forget him but i cant!

He sounds like a nut case. Are you enjoying the roller-coaster ride or is it time to get off? Try to find somebody normal to spend time with and you'll recognize the difference.


I ate raw bacon in Rosorito, Mexico.  A friend made bacon and apparently dropped some raw bacon into our chopoped mexician grown tomatoes.  Some how the raw bacon ended up in my breakfast burrito.  I did not have diahrrea until three weeks later (probably food poisioning from something else?)  I understand that the risk of tape worms forming is fairly low, but I would just like to be safe.

Stool test: \n\nExamination of proglottids passed in the stool of the patient reveals tapeworm infections.\n\nThe characteristic diagnostic feature of the beef tapeworm infection is the ability of the proglottids to crawl. \n\nMicroscopic examination: \n\nMicroscopic identification of the eggs is the basis of specific tapeworm infection diagnosis.  \n\nBlood test: \n\nIt shows elevated levels of eosinophils in the blood of the patient. \n\nPresences of large and pale red blood cells are indicative of vitamin B12 deficiency characteristic of fish tapeworm infections. \n\nBlood samples are taken from the patient to detect the presence of antibodies against the larval stage of the tapeworm.

Unless you have a debt load of over $25,000 and no hope of future income, I would stay away from Bankruptcy.  Your credit is ruined for years and the credit card companies can still come back after you anytime they want.  Try to change some spending habits or lifestyle before you make this decision.  Call the credit card companies and see if they will settle for a lower payoff, a payment plan, or lower interest rate.  Don't give up, the companies don't want to have to deal with your Bankruptcy either so they will eventually work with you.


You said you are a buddhist, but you smoke pot. Wat exactly can you make of that? I mean do you think that it's against Buddhism? Just a question, you know I love you!

I'm assuming this is directed at me right? haha\n\nYes I'm a Buddhist and yes I smoke pot. I dont really see a problem with it but I see where youre coming from and other people have asked me that. I smoke pot to help with my meditation most of the time. It helps me make me thinking much clearer. So, based on that I dont think theres a problem with it. But, as you implied, some people do think its against what the Buddha taught. However, the way I interpret it, when the Buddha said to "avoid mind altering substances that cloud the mind", I believe he just meant alcohol since that was the only mind-altering substance he knew of. The Buddha had never heard of marijuana, so how could he have forbidden its use? Ive stopped drinking alcohol since my conversion, because it really does cloud the mind, but pot, if used right doesnt cloud the mind, it clears it in a way. Hope that clears it up for you. Anything else feel free to ask.\n\n\nPeace


(5 + 5) * (5 - 5) = 5 * (5 - 5) ----> (a^2-b^2) = (a+b)(a-b)\n(5 + 5) = 5 ------> cutting (5 - 5) from both side\n\nYou took part of the equation from the rule of distribution.\n(a+b)*(a-b)=a*(a-b)\n\nevery one know (a+b) does not equal (a) unless (b)= 0\n\nThis is a prime example of manipulation. Neither side can be manipulated while using a "mathematical law" or "rule".\nhope this helps.


We have been dating for 2 years and 3 months. In the beginning of our relationship I lied about talking to other guys and going to parties. Now I have changed my ways and I love him very much (hopefully we will get married in the future). I am about an hour away at college and he is having trouble trusting me. I am being faithful. What should I do?

Start establish & gain back the truth from the smallest things:\n- Be on time. \n  Example: I will call you at 5:15 today.  I will see you at 7:20pm ...etc.  Try to make this type of "On time" happens every day.\n\n- If things that you can not confess, then you have a reason to keep it secret.   \n\n- Be a good listener.  Encourage he talks, expresses ..\n\nBest Regards.


I know our founding fathers did not put term limits---but is it fair for our judges and legislators to hold office till they die or become senile---in fact, judging by the voting record of many, some are already there---I mean senility has set in!\n\nYou can of course answer this question, but do me a favor---go to your representatives' voting and bill-initiation record and find out if they are any good. Many legislators have been holding office for 6,7 terms, and their key accomplishment seems to be bringing pork and not thinking of national interests. No wonder they fight lower taxes and have spin-masters running their web-sites!\n\nFor those of you who are history buffs, read Gibbons' Roman Empire history---lots of similarities in the decadence and apathy that prevailed in the Roman Senate.\n\nOne way is to get some fresh blood in the other two branches of the Government.

Actually, the 22nd Amendment (which limits presidents to two full terms in office) had little to do with senility or political concerns, and more for the concern that America would end up with a "benevolent dictator" who would wield great power that he or she gathered over time.


As far as having good games?  None of them were competitive.  If you can think of a worse one I'd love to hear of it...

this was definately one of the worst not a single game went down to the wire every gamed finished with a margin of at least ten points
