What is used for input processing, memory, and output? What represents data and information?

The Cerebellum is the "CPU". It processes all the information. It is also the "USB port" because it is linked to the spine, or "USB cord". The lobes are the "Hard drives, CMOS" The sides are the keyoard and mouse, because they are the input devices.


When we make laws for society, there has to be a standard.  Who's standard do we use?  Hitler used his standard, Saddam Hussein used his standards, Stalin, Paul Pot, etc, all had their own standards to create the laws in their countries.\nThey obviously were insane, but were in power.\nWhat is the best standard to go by?\nThe liberals stand for everything and nothing at the same time.  Their views have caused the criminals to be the victims.\nMuslims want you to pray 5 times a day as a law and if you don't do that, you get thrown in jail.  I've been to Saudi Arabia so don't tell me that's false.\n\nSo, what set of standards are best for mankind and are there any in existence?

You can look it up in the Bible. There are many laws said by God but perhaps nobody can comply all of them. If a country leader committed himself to the laws of Bible, there would not be so many wars as we do now. Well, I study law but I personally think there is no perfect legal system in this world, everything has its infirmity. It is because human has limited intelligence. A criminal won't think he should be prosecuted; a country leader think he has the right to embark a war, etc. As a Christian, I think the Universal Law has been stated in the Bible and the Lord is the only judge. The "constitutional law" in Bible are "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind." Matthew 22:37 and the second is "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Matthew 22:39. Certainly these are not the only laws in Bible, and many to be discovered if we read through it. Well, I dun mind if you disagree with me and I would like to hear more voices out there.


I got into a car accident recently and an ambulance was called.  I was alert but wanted to go to a hospital just in case.  I told the ambulance I wanted to go to a private hospital (where my insurance covers the expense), but the ambulance driver refused and instead took me to a public hospital.  Now they want me to pay the bill that was not covered by the insurance.  Am I justified in disputing the bill?  If so, where can I find more information?

Unlikely. Every public ambulance service I have ever heard of will take you only to the closest public hospital (unless that one is full). And no matter where they take you, you are responsible for whatever fees are not covered by your insurance (which should generally cover you for an emergency trip to the hospital even if it wasn't the one they normally cover you for).


We are just as capable as men!!! It just doesn't make any sense to me at all!!!

There isn't anything against a woman running for president. The fact of the matter is that no woman wants to run for president other than hillary. The thing is, women in politics are much more scarce as the field is primarily run by males and it is hard for women to get into a position that could win them the election.\n\nThus far, due to Hillary's presidential background, she is the best woman candidate thus far and the democractic party sees this as a means to run a tough race that might get her elected.\n\nPolitical parties aren't going to vouch for anyone (nominate them for presidency) if they don't think they'll be a viable asset to the party. Typically, parties as a whole will nominate for three reasons: They're easy to use as a pawn, they'll have an easy victory with the people, or they're an all around great person. The chances of the last are rare, and its normal to nominate people that can be viewed by the U.S. Voters as a good vote. This ensures a party victory, and normally the executive office will be run more by the president's cabinet and other party officials through the president. It's also helpful for the nominee to be easily controled by the party as a whole to ensure that the political party's needs and wants are met.


Are they a good match? They seem to be quite opposite personality wise, the Virgo quiet and introverted and Aries quite open and borderline aggressive. It seems to me they might balance each other quite nicely, but is there such a thing as being TOO opposite??

No such thing as too opposite opposites attract remember Aries & Virgo \n\nWhen Aries and Virgo come together in a love match, they may think at first that they have nothing in common and nothing to learn from one another. This relationship takes time to develop as each partner must learn to understand where the other is coming from. Aries and Virgo can seem like total opposites: While Aries is brash, dominant and aggressive, always jumping into new things and almost always impatient, Virgo is detail-oriented and quiet, even shy, and works patiently toward long-term goals. Aries's energy is fiery and impetuous while Virgo's is much slower and more grounded. It's these very differences, however, that can teach Aries and Virgo so much, once they just look beneath one another's surfaces to see what lies beneath. \n\nEarly in the relationship, Aries and Virgo may see nothing but one another's faults. Virgo thinks Aries is way too brash, and Aries thinks Virgo is extremely fussy. But if they focus on one another's strengths instead, they'll discover a great deal. Aries teaches Virgo about fun and excitement, about the spontaneity that is often missing in Virgo's life. Virgo teaches Aries patience and attention to detail, the knowledge that the little things -- and moments -- are important too. Aries can teach their Virgo lover to take things less seriously. Virgo can teach Aries to be polite and value hard work. \n\nAries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury. Aries wants to rush out and fight without wasting time preplanning or strategizing. Conversely, Virgo wants to analyze everything and work out all the details before acting. These are such opposite approaches that strife can result. Both Signs must make a conscious effort to learn from one another's method rather than letting their partner's natural rhythm bother to the point of distraction. \n\nAries is a Fire Sign and Virgo is an Earth Sign. Where Aries is all fiery impetuosity, Virgo is grounded practicality. Virgo weighs all the options before devoting any serious effort, while Aries simply sees what they want and dives in! This is true both in career and in personal relationships -- which can be something of a stumbling block. If Aries has decided it's Virgo they want, they might be frustrated for some time to come, waiting for Virgo to make up their mind about whether the relationship is a good idea. \n\nAries is a Cardinal Sign and Virgo is a Mutable Sign. Virgo doesn't need to be the leader or the boss; they're glad to follow another's suggestion once they decide it's a viable one. Aries, on the other hand, wants to make those suggestions -- every time. This is a beneficial dynamic if these two Signs are working as a team toward a common goal. \n\nWhat's the best aspect of the Aries-Virgo relationship? Their great effectiveness as a team -- business or personal. Their personalities, opposite in so many ways, make for a highly complementary relationship.


if they r when can you come in contact with them?

sure they can be real if you believe in them...spirits and stuff like that are also trtue! it all comes from the devil. just to scare you. i would never turn away from God and begin to get scared of ghosts!!the only thing that you should be afraid of is God...by the way why would you want to become in contact with them?God is who you should be talking to not demons or ghosts...


I`ve been towed3times now  and impounded for 30days each time, not to mention the total cost but 1st: 2,300 2nd: 1,300 This time it was a highway patrol so I was told if I was towed one more time tthat it was theirs. they can take my car permantly?

Towed three times and impounded for 30 days each time?  Man, you're just not getting the message, are you?\n\nIf you are in California, you bet the police can forfeit your vehicle and it doesn't take three times to make it a charm.  Technically, your vehicle could be subject to forfeiture proceedings after your first suspended license beef.  Someone like you is exactly the reason the legislature designed that law, because your privilege to drive has been taken away from you and yet you obviously continue to drive.  People like you are involved in an exponentially higher than average number of traffic accidents so the legislature figured maybe people like you should have your vehicles forfeited to the state if you just didn't go along with the game plan.\n\nVoila - I give you California Vehicle Code section 14607.6...and a link to it below.  It would also be worth your time to review 14607.4, whether or not you live in California.\n\nYou really need to stop driving.  Really.


to check yourself into a hospital for depression and to prevent suicide, will I end up being responsible for the hospital bills?

that all depends on the type of hospital that you go to - regaurdless of that if you need the help get it - then worry about the bills - if you do get charged then try and apply for medicaid - they ask if you have any unpaid medical bills for the last three months then the retroactivly pay them - but whatever you do get help - if you want to talk more e-mail me at live_love_laugh_21@yahoo.com

We want to balance s 3000rpm motor shaft with sleeve bearings at low speed, say aruond 800rpm. Are there any disadvantages of doing that? What will be vibration like at 3000rpm, if the shaft is balanced at 800rpm. The vibration limit allowed is 1.5mils (API 541 limits) using Bentley probes. We generally balance it to 4W/N at operating speed. Should this balance limit be reduced, if balancing at low speed?

No.Rather you should try to balance for optimal operating speed based on average rpm,trying not to exceed operating spectrum within rotational ranges.


People ask why muslims do not speak against terrorism or why there isn't an outcry...

Well that's true in a sense. People can speak out for what they believe and people hear, but in some countries they will be *silenced* by bad ways(to put delicatly)\nNo matter what though, I think they should outcry against it, if enough people think it's wrong and continue for a long time they could possibly do something, but it also may not help. That's the problem with freedom of speech, you can speak out but it doesn't always account for something. \nAm I making any sense? I'm sorry, my thoughts are all jumbled up!


Craving ice can be due to a few things.  It can indicate something as severe as anemia (low blood count) to dehydration, to mental frustration/anxiety.  Most of the time it is an aquired behavioral issue  - aka a bad habit!  Freud would call it an oral fixation.  Being aware of it is the first step to stopping.  just start off by cathing yourself and work up to elimination f the habit.  if you are at risk for a low blood count or dehydration get checked out.

to not allow convicted felons to vote?\n\nI am speaking of those that are no longer incarcerated and no longer under any government supervision.( parole)

Because felons violated societies rules to the extent that they gave up their rights as citizens, usually infringing on someones right to life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness.  Not being able to vote again is part of the consequence of their crime.  If criminals don't like the consequence it is very simple don't break the law.

Please do not tell me about health problems. try social problems.

Sure, tobacco caused social ills could be something like the life long effects to a child of losing a parent or loved one (due to tobacco related causes).  Second hand smoke--is another issue, when you sunject others to this "deadly" air.  Either they have no choice & must breathe it in order to continue contact with you. . .or they choose not to interact with you--and this would be a social loss for both.  Another social ill would be the cost to society for providing health/medical care to people sick because of tobacco illnesses.  Of course, we should do that. . .but that money could be spent on improving other things.  (By this way. . .this was a great question!)

There is a good reference at W 02/15/2006 p.31

"You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.' But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna." Mt 5:21-22.\n\nAnger is the motive behind murder, as the insulting epithets are steps that may lead to it. They, as well as the deed, are all forbidden. Raqa: an Aramaic word reqa' or reqa probably meaning "imbecile," "blockhead," a term of abuse. The ascending order of punishment, judgment (by a local council?), trial before the Sanhedrin, condemnation to Gehenna, points to a higher degree of seriousness in each of the offenses. Sanhedrin: the highest judicial body of Judaism. Gehenna: in Hebrew ge-hinnom, "Valley of Hinnom," or ge ben-hinnom, "Valley of the son of Hinnom," southwest of Jerusalem, the center of an idolatrous cult during the monarchy in which children were offered in sacrifice. In Joshua 18:16 the Hebrew is transliterated into Greek as gaienna, which appears in the New Testament as geenna. The concept of punishment of sinners by fire either after death or after the final judgment is found in Jewish apocalyptic literature but the name geenna is first given to the place of punishment in the New Testament.


Thank you for your answer. Any advice you have that might help me, will be greatly appreciated.

Just your thoughts on whether the Dems will take the Senate and/or House, or whether the Republicans will remain in control.

I've rigged up all the electronic voting machines so I can assure the GOP will have a win, and gain three more seats. \n\nMy guess is that if things keep going bad for the GOP, that they will lose seats in both the congress and the house, but it looks like the GOP, is starting to turn around some of the games the dems have been playing. For instance Harry Reids, link to dealings with Abramoff. Over the last seven years the Nation has become polarized, I think that the vote will be close unless something really dramatic happens.


Jesuschrist never had anything else but a burro and the clothes he was currently wearing. How can you believe those who "pray for you" through radio and tv, using expensive limos for transportation and make more money than oilmen???

no..ive asked my preacher about this cause ive been through the same thing and they just want your money and its wrong of them to use jesus ...theres plentey of people who will pray for free..they are evil people who do that..don't trust anyone who asks for money..i'll pray for  you and im sure many others will


I think I'm really in love with a boy who already has a girlfriend. I'm quite taller than him. But he always cheers me up and pay attention to every my word, even if we aren't alone. He speaks to me in every 5 minutes (if we are with some more friends), laughts at my jokes, looks on me so many times...shows me his sense of humour...We sing in the same band, and he was the only one who had given me a present and chocolate for my birthday (I mentiond the date of my birthday only once, some months before it, and he remembered...) I don't know, what's in his head...

Do you really want a 'man' that shows attention to 'other' girls? What if you were his g/f now and he was treating another the way you say he treats you ? Your suffering from that famous disease:'I want what belongs to another syndrome'! Back off, sweetie, he aint yours ! Peaceout !!!

I FEEL LIKE I AM LOSEING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE

i guess cry a little have a bit of ice cream sleep it off one night and than go fight to keep your love. If you are having those feelings you need to and seriously go talk to your love. let your love know how you are feeling and why. all relationships go through some rocky roads and to get through them you have to communicate. communication is very important and key in any relationship.


He just wanted a sex relatioship with me and I told him I wanted more.I "exposed" my feelings and myself to him. I called him,emailed and he calls me back telling me that we will get together one to day to talk about it.I am tired of waiting but I do care for him. I do not want to seem desperate to him and call him again, although I want to, so bad.He calls for other things and for business but not for what I am waiting for....

Move on with your life girl! The man is obviously not into what you really want.. He's just somehow playin with you..I know its easy to say these words but its so hard when you are in the situation.. Try to be involve in other things.. occcupy your mind with other people.. go on a date.. meet other people..got to other places.. do something that you've never done before..  in that way youll be able to get your mind off him.. and in time youll completely be over the person.. okay.. goodluckÜ

Please do not confuse the terms "corporal" and "capital", LOL! That's a whole 'nother issue...

I don't believe so, no.  I think that only the parents should be able to administer corporal punishment if and when they see fit.  If the school has an issue with a child and they feel that corporal punishment would help quell that issue, then I believe they should contact the parent(s) to come down and issue corporal punishment if the parent agrees to it.  If the parent does not administer corporal punishment at home, then it should be a non-issue and the parents and the school should work together to come up with a punishment suitable for the action of the student.


I just want to find out what people think of our government. We hear a lot of polls on TV, but I want to see what people really think.

I think "Dubya" is a terrific president. He has done a lot for the safety of the nation from foreign countries, unlike Clinton. Our gov't is always shown to be the bad guy, but that's because of the liberal media. Conservatives are condemned for ridding the world of the evils, but liberals are praised for sparing them, consequently causing more turmoil. I don't really want to get started, so I'll cut it short. President Bush is wonderful.


In a dc motor,usually,  permanent  magnets  are used in yoke while armeture  uses dc  current.It is said that in dc  motors, rotation is the result of interaction between both magnetic fields [one produced by permanent magnets and the other produced by dc current].My question is;if both fields interact, both fields must give force to rotation.Now we gives current to only armeture,while permanen magnets need no current[though provides equal power to the power provided by dc-current-using armeture].Now, we gets machanical power[produced by the motor] only equal to the power of given current[even less as losses occure].So, where does the power go provided by the permanent magnets?

There is a force applied to the permanent magnets equal to the force applied by the armature, but since the permanent magnets are usually attached to something huge they don't move much.  So there is little work done on them and so they don't eat up power.\n\nIt's just like asking "if I stand facing a wall and use my arms to push away from it, where did the power go in the wall".  It barely moves, so it absorbs very little power.\n\nSome power does go into the permanent magnet, due to the effects mentioned in the answer above, but it is generally small.

I broke up with my boyfriend 5 months ago.Last time i saw him 1 year ago(he is working out of the country)Since i broke up with him i cant go out with other guys.Actually I dont even tried.The truth is that im working in 2 palces and i have university too.(1 more year).Can u pls tell me if this is normal?

Sweetheart, It is normal.\n However if you don't slow down and embrace life, you are in for a sad life. I said embrace life, don't confuse what I'm telling you. You don't need a man to embrace life. Just take some time just for you. Sounds to me,like your tring to hide from love, with your work. Just forget men, for now and enjoy your life. You will find love when you least expect it.


Alexander Miles invented the innovation of elevators.


if you do why do you do it? insecurities? Can it become a habit?

Everyone lies sometimes but some people lie a lot. I don't usually lie to people but I will omit telling someone something if I think it is none of their business. I think lying is learned behavior which starts in childhood and the more a child does it then it becomes part of their character when they are adult, especially if there is no incentive to be honest. It would take a lot of work for an adult who lies to become honest. It is easier to tell when a child is lying but not so easy to tell when an adult is lying unless you know them well. Since lying is subjective, I think some adults think they are telling the truth when in fact they are lying.


Just making sure that I am not giving to a bogus charity.

I searched the Better Business Bureau's website for that organization, but couldn't find it.  From first glance, I saw that the website is .com, not .org.  Typically, a charity or similar organization will have a website that ends in .org.  \n\nCheck out this website.  It gives a lot more information about giving to authentic charity organizations, and how to watch out for bogus ones.\n\nhttp://www.give.org/seal/index.asp\n\nHope that helps, and congrats for being so generous!

I have a bunch of favorite zombie movies or as I like to call them dead-ish movies. You don't want to hear it but it makes the list. Night of the Living dead including all the corny sequels, dawn of the dead wasn't bad (the new one and the old), Day of the Dead which is old but interesting. I love the Evil Dead series and the Resident Evil's, 28 days was decent as well.


I am totally clueless about football. The Superbowl has one kickoff, at the beginning, right? Any other ones?

There is always at least 2.  Their is one to start the game and one at half time.  All other kickoffs take place after a team scores.  \n\nPunting, on the other hand, takes place when a team is on 4th down and they do not feel they can move the ball far enough to get a first down (this can actually happen on any down but they do it on fourth down usually because if they don't get a first down on fourth down the other team gets possession of the ball at the spot that they were stopped).

psycological reasoning behind the violence against women

i think that men in the US at least are generally raised to be emotionally stunted human beings. (not all, but most.) expressing emotion is frowned upon, but rough-housing or even fighting to defend yourself against insult is perfectly okay. therefore, i think that many men have grown up with few tools in dealing with rage, frustration and unexpected negative consequences--thus the physical reaction is the only one available to them. (or a constant battle to stifle that reaction, which of course wouldn't always work.)\n\nthere are evolutionary reasons for men needing more physical activity, but the emotional or communicative outlets are not provided... therefore, crap ensues. \n\nadd in the economic pressures (i'm not sure of the stats, but i'd bet that the lower your income, the more likely you are to be an abuser), and you've got a recipe for taking your frustrations out on whomever is around (and smaller than you).\n\non the other side, women are generally raised one of two ways: to be submissive (traditional) or to fight for dominance (more post-70s, and exacerbated by a modern mythology that men are inherently stupid and brutish). this leads to either an acceptance of bad behavior on the part of men, or to a constant conflict in the household over dominance. \n\nthe answer of course is to bring people to a place where they feel fully able to communicate, fully valued in their humanity, and fully able to provide a fulfilling life for themselves and their dependents. people who have that don't have to hurt other people.


Think about it!  I stopped in mid-pants the other day and realized that I ALWAYS put my pants on the left leg first!  Maybe I'm just a little off, but ponder it for a moment and let me know!

Wow. Never thought about it before now...but I always put my Left leg in first.


I would appreciate any personal knowledge towards which institution is superior in any sense that you see fit. I am a college student who is looking to further myself in any way possible and protect the caring person internationally. It should be known that I do not support Bush in many of his foreign policys, but want to serve my country.

Speaking from personal experience and pride.  I would say the Marine Corps is the way to go.  Something my friends and I noticed while I was in; if you ask a soldier what he does, he will tell you "I am in the Army." Navy? "I am in the Navy." Air Force? "I am in the Air Force." But if you ask a Marine what he does, he/she will tell you "I am a Marine!"  That is something no one else in the world can say.  For 230 years the Marine Corps has been monkey stomping anyone that needs it.  There has never been a mutiny in the Marine Corps.  Hence the motto "Semper Fidelis." Which means "Always Faithful."  It applies to more than that also. It applies to the fact that, if we can help it, we never leave a man on the battlefield.  Wounded or dead.  We take care of our own.  From experience with other branches of service they learn a little about their service history.  Marines learn everything about their service history.  It is no longer the history of the Marine Corps, it is MY history as well. I was a Sergeant. I was leader of Marines.  That is one of the greatest feelings in the world.  Almost as good as the day I stood on top of "The Reaper," and my Senior Drill Instructor put that Eagle,Globe, and Anchor in my hand, and told me(this by the way was the first time in the entire 13 weeks of boot camp that any Marine is addressed as Marine, only when their training is complete are you a Marine.) "Congratulations Marine. Welcome to the Corps."  Marines have pride in their service in part because of our history, and also because we had to earn the title Marine.  We had to earn the right to be called Marine.  Everyone else is a soldier, sailor, or airman as soon as they get to basic training.  Not Marines. I was every derogatory term except.  I certainly wasn't a human being. But then it was all worth it.  Marines are the first to fight.  Whatever you think your chances of going to Iraq or Afghanistan are...double it.  I'm not trying to Scare you away, but every Marine is a rifleman. Our pilots learn learn infantry combat tactics.  Oh by the way the whole Navy pilots are the best thing. Only the top 10% of Naval Flight School, are allowed to be Marine pilots.  Someone had mentioned the Navy SEALs.  You can be a Navy SEAL even if you are a Marine.  The SEALs are Special Forces and thus are open for anyone in the Armed Services to try.  But why do that, the Corps just started its own Special Forces program.  I would have retired if I could have.  Anyway I say go Marine.


1 pound of what? I've always accepted this conversion as truth without really looking deeper into the calculation. Calories are a measurment of energy and pounds are a measurement of weight so the calculation in not straight forward. Also consider that 1 pound = 454 grams. 1 pound of Fat = 9kcal/g * 454g = 4086 calories. \n\n1 calorie = 1.02632411 × 10 power of -16 pounds\n1 pound = 9.74351079 × 10 power of 15 calories\n\nCan any math geniuses out there elaborate?

when u burn 1 pound of fat u release 3500 calories


My parents told me about a hotline you can have someone call and it breaks up the relationship for you. I thought it could be entertaining. Gracias.

I haven't heard of that one.  I have heard of a number that you can give someone that asks for your number, that aren't interested in calling.\nIt's rejecton hotline http://rejectionhotline.com/\nSeems kind of mean, though


i know u can block alot of sites from being pulled up. but knowing the site that he goes to is the ?


I am searching a good and religious Muslim girl for marriage please contact me on my email address: rafiqueharoon@yahoo.com for further detail

I'm afraid that I do not know the proper name for a Muslim celergyman, please forgive my ignorance about that, but you could go to a Cleric in your Mosque, tell him that you feel ready for marriage and seek his advice about how to meet girls with a suitable background. He would know which families in your area have daughters of marriagable age and probably would be the person best able to judge which of the young women you might be compatable with for marriage.\nGood luck.


just wondering why all the selfishness? why all the me-me-me?

people are selfish because they believe in themselves alone without consideration for the person beside them. this also has to do with the syndrome of wanting to get every happiness on earth and i can finally attribute it to not having the fear of God


John is 23 years older than her daughter Carol. In 20 years John will be twice as old as her daughter. What are their ages now? What is the equation to solve it?

We will refer to Carol's age as x,\nJohn = x + 23\n\nIn 20 years he will be twice as old as Carol:\nx + 23 + 20 = 2 (x + 20)\nx + 43 = 2x + 40\n43 - 40 = 2x - x\n3 = x\n\nTherefore at this time Carol = 3, John is 26.\nIn 20 years she will be 23 and he will be 46.


What is the significance of an extension's file type?

File extension is very significant to the applications. Based upon extensions the application decides wheather to open the file or not. \n\nAlso we as a human being start recognizing the files based on there extension. For Ex.\n\n.exe - means executeable\n.doc - word cocuments\n.xls - excel sheet


We cleaned out some old books and since then, I have found silverfish in different areas of my house. What can I use to get rid of these pests?

That's a tough one.  They are persistent little critters.\n\nTry using boric acid - you can get it at any department store.  It is a powder, quite inexpensive, and harmless to humans.  Put it in any places you see signs of silverfish, along cracks in wood, etc.  We use boric acid on our sailboat and it seems to control most pests.\n\nIf you have silverfish in your kitchen cupboards try putting loose bay leaves around all the shelves and corners.  They won't kill the silverfish, but I have found that bay leaves spread around like that tend to keep most insects away.  There seems to be something about the bay leaves they don't like.  I've never used them for silverfish, but they work for ants.\n\n\nThere are special insecticides for silverfish, including Drone Dust which actually dries them out when they pass through it.  And there are things called silverfish packs.  Any powder you put down has to go in the dark places and cracks where they like to live, not out in the open - around your foundation, inside electrical outlets, around plumbing, under sinks, places liek that.\n\nThey are particularly attracted to wet, humid areas, so getting everything as dry as posible will help.  Fix any leaky pipes, maybe get a dehumidifier.  Regularly ventilate closed rooms.  VAcuum cracks with the special crevice tool regularly.  Use silica gel to help keep things dry.  Keep all food tightly covered to remove their food source.\n\nDid you do an Internet search related to this?  You might get more ideas.\n\nIf all else fails, or if you have a big problem, you might need to call an exterminator, which of course will be expensive.\n\nI hope this helps!  Good luck with it!


I saw a short article that spoke of matter (stars) near the edge of a black hole that theoretically should have been pulled into the black hole.

This question is meaningless if you think how we came to use the term.\nScientists observed irregularities in motion of celestial bodies that defied known theories. After reviewing the theories they concluded that the theories are correct and there must be something outthere that caused those irregularities. They calculated the mass and energy of such bodies and they found they gravitational pull is so extreme that to escape their pull (from nearby vicinity) matter must exceed the speed of light.\nThese regions in space were given the name of black holes (since light itself cannot escape the pull, their are invisible). Their existance can be noticed by matter being attracted to blank spots (nothing is visible there, not even starlight). 'Black hole' is a term used to describe an existing celestial body, therefore no 'proof' is needed.


I'm 18 years old, 5' 2" ( 62" ) tall, and 103 Lbs. My family keeps asking if I'm bulimic. I don't throw up or take laxitives, but I have taken diuretics (water pills) and diet pills. I don't think I have an eating disorder. I just want to know if I'm at risk of becoming, or I'f I already am. Thank you.

Are you obssessed with your weight? Do you sometimes spend the day eating nothing just to feel thinner? Do you feel insufficient energy? If yes, you might have an eating disorder. But if you eat normally and still thin, it's just your metabolism, don't worry about it. It means you're just lucky!\n\nBe careful with your health whatever you do.


if false can you rewrite it correctly thx!

The Pathfinder went to Mars, not the moon\n\nMars Pathfinder - USA Lander & Surface Rover - 264 kg (lander), 10.5 kg (rover) - (December 4, 1996 - September 27, 1997) \nMars Pathfinder arrived at Mars on July 4, 1997 and impacted the surface at 16:57 UT (12:57 PM EDT) at a velocity of about 18 m/s (40 mph). It bounced about 15 meters (50 feet) into the air, bouncing another 15 times and rolling before coming to rest approximately 2.5 minutes after impact and about 1 km from the initial impact site. The landing site was in the Ares Vallis region is at 19.33 N, 33.55 W and was named the Sagan Memorial Station. A six-wheel rover, named Sojourner, rolled onto the Martian surface on July 6 at about 05:40 UT. Mars Pathfinder returned 2.6 billion bits of information, including more than 16,000 images from the lander and 550 images from the rover, as well as more than 15 chemical analyses of rocks and extensive data on winds and other weather factors. The last successful data transmission was on September 27, 1997, the 83rd day of the mission since landing on the surface. This is the second mission in NASA's low-cost Discovery series.


how will the busseness help the country in terms of economy?

Busses are necessary to take people to work who don't know how to drive.


that sounds weird...but my teacher said its best for us to do it...what do you think????

Not unless you intend to pursue a career in chemistry.


I need help on my "the social cost of energy" project! Please help!

Nuclear power is a 'clean' power in that, under normal circumstances, the only emisson is steam from the reactor. However, if there is a meltdown, like the one in Russia a while ago, the effect could be very threatning.


I want to get as many financial qualifications under my belt. Are the 6 and 63 expensive and can anyone take the exam?

You have to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers to take the exam.  Check with them about the cost.  Its less than 100 dollars to take the exam.  I'm not sure about the 63 but anyone can take the 6.


I deleted the program, but I still keep getting these pop ups. does anyone know how to get rid of spyware?

You can download Adware from www.download.com\nEventhough this program removes most spyware, after using it, download spybot from www.download.com Spybot removes what adaware does not. Remember to fully update the program before using it. Spybot also immunizes your system from future spyware, so be sure to do that. After the tests are complete and u have removed everything u should download or buy some kind of firewall to prevent this to happen. I recommend AVAST antivirus which enables a script protector everytime u open ur internet explorer or netscape navigator... its is awesome and i recommend it for sure.


People always say: time is the ideal medication for love's hurt, and time can also erase those unhappy memories. For me, time is a kind of evidence for proving how deep that your love is. What I'm trying to say is: Foong Chen, whatever thing happened between us, you are the one in my memory until the last air I breath...

I think I saw her hanging out with Long Duck Dong and Who Flung Poo the other day.  Check with them.


"Established In" field was not mandatory in Add prospect and initial verify of prospect but on the second time to verify the customer it was mandatory.

Just add dateestablished in the required fields. It will do the rest...


I know all of the information...but when I take the test i am rushed and i make stupid mistakes or forget something or ill look over a little detail and get the wrong answer

I suggest that you can go over every problem that you hasd as homework and classwork. If you dont understand one, go and ask the teacher for help. Do some extra problems just for practice. This way if you understand the material that is going to be on teh test, you will get a good grade.


I find that lately my wife and I have been VERY lazy when it comes to housework. We just don't seem to have the energy to do anything. What are some ways to get us motivated and stay motivated so we won't have this problem anymore. Thanks :D

Don't watch TV, Don't do any other work. You will get bored...and you will be inspired to do some house hold work...THTAS WHT I DO

anything that would intrest a 16 year old rebel punk


my man pays 700 in child support a month and the kids mom is basicly in hiding with the child . he wants to see his kid and at the same time he is afraid of the courts decision. he had a semi bad past with the law. he was a bad teen now he is grown and mature has not been in trouble in 4 years. His life is really straight now. He works full time 6 days a week. Pays for his child has a place and is responcible. The mother was in and out of rehab.i believe he has the right to father his son. does he have a chance?

He may need a lawyer to file the request for visitation. That would have been taken care of in divorce court. He has rights and the court needs to know the situation to guarantee his rights are ordered and enforcable. If the mother is unfit and the father cares about his children, it would be morally wrong for him not to remedy the situation.


I am from Georgia, and I have had a terrible ordeal with my local school system here. Last year my son (12 yr old) tried to commit suicide because of bullying at school. The school denies it of course, and now the same thing is happening to my 10 yr old daughter. I need help, contact numbers, emails, fax numbers, websites, etc. I have had enough and am ready to declare war on the morons that run the county school system here. Any advice is appreciated. thank You.

I do this for a living, and could give you a dreadfully long answer.  Some considerations are-  Did the school evaluate him/do an IEP?  Has he received a diagnosis from a child psychiatrist?  If so, this may afford some protection as a "special needs" child, which changes the rules for the school.  Even though they may seem autonomous, they aren't.  I would search under special education law, and there may be a public law project in your state that might take the case free of charge.  The same holds true for your daughter.  If she has needed professional help due to school issues, it changes the rules.  Also, inquire of local mental health providers in your state about "wraparound" services, which could send an adult to school with your child each day.  This is how it is in my state, but not in all states.  Good luck.


I have seen many elections where promises were made and not kept, can we sue them for false advertising?

is this a picture of you? or is it the naked guy from survivor?


i had to get a new set top box and had to try alot of diffrent codes for my tv tunner ir blaster. now mce says limit reached contact ur vender, which is dell. my 90 day waranty is up and they wont do anything. i just spent over 1500 last year with dell. and i will never make another puchase from them. ive done alot of searching on the internet and cant find any thing. if i go to microsoft they want money, that messed up considering it cost about 300 for the soft ware. and why would they put a limit on the codes that control ur tv anyway

You may have ME 2004. Problem is you can't buy an upgrade, Microsoft only makes it available to your OEM! However, if you have an ATI graphics card you may be able to get what you need from their website, try it and maybe you'll get lucky.\nGood luck

Reverse phone area code number shows nothing. Any know what it is?

That is a telemarketer. I get them showing all 0's or 9's. I answered it after getting the call a few times. They will keep calling. just pick it up and say no and hangup.


u do most ppl say that muslims r terrorists?? because for what a few ppl who claim to b muslims have done? how do we know that they r muslims? just because they say so??\ndo u think that muslims are being treated in a total unfair manner?

B"H\nIt is wrong to say that Muslims are terrorists.  Terrorism - particularly suicide bombing - is blatantly against the Muslim faith.\n\nAccording to the Quoran, even during a holy war, non-Muslims are not to be killed (they are to be enslaved, taught the path of Mohammed, and then released after a set period of time).\n\nUnfortuanely, those countries which are predominantly Islamic, have fallen siege to evil, hateful, men, who are corrupting not only their subjects, but the faith as well.  \n\nThe biggest problem is education.  Young Palestinian children (for example) are taught that Allah wants them to hate and kill (you can see this in Palestinian childrens programming).  \n\nThe worst part is that the bad men corrupting Islam reinforce their hatred not only by brainwashing the young, but by financially supporting those who commit a grave sin against Allah by commiting murder and suicide.\n\nUnfortunately, it is becomming more and more common for young children who were born Muslim to be corrupted into becomming terrorists.  While this does not make Muslims terrorists, it does make an increasing number of terrorists "Muslim" (by birth, but not by practice - since they violate the Quoran).


im am going to be in a play and it takes place in newyork so the director wants us to learn how to talk like a newyorker, i just need a little help

I've been accused of it.  Always speak quickly, with a sense of urgency, like you're going to be late, or you just HAVE to get it all out.  Not so fast that you stumble, just more quickly.  Then make your R's soft, sorta roll an R into an l.  Like Saying York like Yalk.  See if it helps.


This is in general. I'm not talking about small countries with big count on OIL, I'm talking about in general.. have you ever used an Islamic car? or Islamic radio recorder? or TV produced in whole in Islamic nation?  Are the world expecting stability in Islamic countries? why all Muslims suffer?  If you are Muslim don't you ask yourself about the main reason that makes us different than even China, Russia, Europe and others!!   Let's talk in general.  Islamic nation like 1 billion, China one billion. Islamic countries in general dictatorship, China dictatorship.  however, China growing amazingly. Islamic countries falling amazingly!!\n\nhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1252/is_4_129/ai_83355436\nThis NOT intended to offend anybody. IT IS NOT ATTACK ON MUSLIMS.  YES IT IS AGAINST ISLAM. NO IT IS NOT AGAINST ISLAMIC NATION. NO, IT IS NOT AGAINST OUR COUNTRIES. simply cuz my country sadly located in the Islamic nation and actually was the leading of Islamic nation once!! )=

Failure of governance is intrinsic within Islam and always will be as long as they continue to mix their religion with their politics.  Once a leader comes into power they also rule over the Ulama, thus the Shari'ah and fiqh change giving the leader absolute power of church and mosque.  And, as the historically proven proverb goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely.  So as long as Islam blends with the State, Islamic countries will alway fail.


I believe that in another world, i am a gaurdian of a certain element.  i am just asking so i can see if others are out there.

I believe there's other dimensions but I have no proof of this myself. \n\nIf having dreams that sometimes come true is a paranormal ability, then I have one and I've also witnessed other paranormal phenomena first hand, so I believe in that sort of thing.


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\n       I'm inclined to think all of us who are really interested in these questions might have started asking them a long while ago. Why does any person or nation, including ours, persist in celebrating violence as an honorable expression of disapproval? In, let's say, Iraq, the Sudan, Waco -anywhere we get fed up with meanspirited tormentors-why are we so quick to assume that guns and bombs are the answer?\n       Some accidents and tragedies and bizarre <b>twists of fate</b> are truly senseless, as random as lightening bolts out of the blue. But this one at Columbine High weas not, and to say it was is irresponsible. "Senseless" sounds like "without cause," and it requires no action, so that after an appropriate interval of ... abridged\n-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\nFrom "Life Is Precious, or It's Not" by Barbara Kingsolver\nIn MODELS FOR WRITERS\n\nIn this, what does it mean, twists of fate?

twist of fate means an ironic or unusual accident. Like Osama bin Laden receiving CIA training in 1980's to fight Soviet Union, then using his skills against US.\n\nWaco, Iraq and columbine were not twists of fate - nothing accidental about them, as the author states.


well i kinda messed upmy gf broke up with me after three years i love this girl wth all my heart shes the love of my life and she says she loves me but her dad hates me and he talked a bunch of crap about my mom so i had him jumped and now its over between me and her what do i do? i dont know what to do im depressed

your behavior seems very irresponsible.  look at yourself.  take responsibility for yourself, your feelings, your actions.  Learn from your mistakes in this relationship


I am building a 2 story house in Maine. 3 sides of the first story will be surrounded by earth. I would like to use recycled car tires for these 3 sides of the first story but don't know if they will adequately support the second story.

they will break down over time and the house will collapse. not that much time either 10 years max


I'm a little nearsighted (have a little hard time seeing far away) and I might need glasses next year. I want to know if there are good ways to improve your eyesight safly and without any surgery. I'm also a kid by the way.

Glasses and contacts will NOT make your eyes worse.  Not everyone's eyes get so bad that they have really strong prescriptions.  Since you're a kid (and worried about your eyes getting really bad), you might want to ask your eye doctor about something called the COMET 2 study.  This is a study that's trying to find out if bifocal or progressive lenses slow down the progression of near-sightedness.  Take it with a grain of salt, though, because if it does help, it doesn't help very much.  The best thing for you to do is to take good care of your eyes and don't over-work them.  (If you're doing a lot of reading, for example, take breaks every once in a while.)


Shoot a terrorist I would feel so much better afterwards.

Enlist and go to Iraq, they are lousy with them.


Given the numerous disparities between states' regulations regarding the tracking of sex offenders, has any one questioned whether the federal governent should be responsible for tracking sex offenders?  What is your take on this?  Have any of the states questioned this?

The Federal government is terrible at doing things like this. The could pass a law that would make offender notify them if they crossed state lines.


Would you be crushed by gravity? Would you fly?

If you didn't die from the intense heat, you'd probably be weightless seeing as gravity would be pulling you from all directions.


when told i'd be changing my job only to almost end up working under someone whoa ahas been with the company 3 months,,,,,,i had been there 4 years

If your company has a Human Resources or Personel Department then that is where I would start with my complaint.  They will investigate the problen and decide if it has merit or not.  While you may feel that they will only side with the companies action, they are actually required by law to look into these types of compliants fairly and equally.  If you can not get a satisfactory solution within the companies system then I would reccomend your state Labor Board and have them investigate.  I would not bother with a lawyer until I have exhausted these methods first.  Follow through with instructions given by the Human Resouces or Labor Board before getting a lawyer because if you don't their defense will be we offered a solution and you did not attempt to follow it, so we have done all we can do.  That defense will hold up for them and you will loose. Do what you have to do and I am sure that you will get the matter resolved.


how does the antiobiotic get to the toe through the veins arteries, heart chambers and valves from the right arm close the elbow joint

Basilic vein -> axillary vein -> subclavian vein-> right inominate -> superior vena cava -> right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary arteries -> lungs -> pulmonary veins -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta -> commo iliac artery -> external iliac artery -> femoral artery -> anterior tibial artery -> dorsalis pedis -> toe


is it possible that I could make more money on my own? I'm 23 so i really dont have money and iam still in school.

If you're able to support yourself with this current job, I think you should stick with it until you graduate. Then you can move more easily onto something bigger and better and you will have your degree and a bunch of on-the-job experience.


Before anyone slams me, I am a proud black woman, who had the sense to give her children names that they could live with.

I'm with you here... I am Italian, and my son's father is black... and we decided to name the baby Calvin.\n\nHis father's family had a FIT.... they didn't think it was ethnic enough. They wanted me to name him DeShawn or Dante...\n\nI wanted my son to have the same chance at getting a job as everyone else.. because I know racism exists in the hiring practices of many workplaces. Naming my son "DeShawn" would be just ASKING for trouble... in the same way, I wouldn't name him "Rocco" or "Tony" or anything super-Italian, either, for the same reason.\n\nAs a sidenote: My roommate's name is Shakita, and she HATES it.. she says it causes her no end of headaches, because people assume she's this ghettofied, finger-snapping mama.. she's not, of course.


having problems with this,please help out

what are the ploys used to get you into the casino and to stay in the casino?

They are designed to keep patrons in the casino. \n\nTo answer the direct question, about the floors, the carpeting is casinos is designed to be unpleasant to the eye, so people will not look at the floor, but rather at the games instead. They are in redundant patterns because of the practical aspect of laying the carpet. They are in squares, I think 2 or 3 feet on a side, and can be laid like tile, and more easily handled. Rolling capret for the size of a casino floor with all its irregular shapes would be very problematic. The redundant pattern comes from the need to have an easily laid pattern without the need for more than just one printing on the capret tile.\n\nAs for the rest of the design, it is very carefully laid out to draw people to the areas that earn the casino more money. Flashy games are usually done at the door, so people can see what is going on as soon as they walk in. (If there is no action when a person walks in, they are probably not going to stay in.)\n\nThe more subdued games, like regular poker, are farther away from the enterance, typically. A sedate atmosphere is not what a potential gambler wants to see, for the most part.\n\nHope this is what you were looking for.


and has been having  sex with alot of other women and dont know her number to call her and tell her

Do you get to see her in person? If you do, then I'd recommend telling her. If he's cheating on her, then she has a right to know. Besides, she'll probably find out in the end anyway; these things have a way of coming up, and a lot of times, it's at a bad time.\n\nAt first, she may deny it profusely, yell at you, hate you, whatever. But in the end, it's for her own good and it'll save her months, or even years, of heartache. Never delay bad news; the longer you keep something secret, the worse it'll be when it comes out.\n\nGood luck with whatever happens.


PLEASE IM SO DESPERATE! IVE ONLY DONE IT ONCE. AND I REALLY LIKE THIS "EXPERIENCED" GUY AND I WANT TO BE PREPARED!\nDONT JUST SAY GO WITH THE FLOW!

Well, I was taught by my one and only boyfriend that a good kiss is shared with the one you really love...He told me that because he said I was a good kisser, and I've NEVER kissed anyone (and yes I'm almost 18) and sooooo I didn't believe him. And then he said that, and it made perfect sense. Soooo! if you actually love the "experienced" guy, then it'll be all good ;)


What is your favorite color,band,singer,actor what ever you want to tell us that is your favorite stuff just post a comment with all your favorite stuff.

My favorite color is Black.\nMy favorite band is My Chemical Romance.\nMy favorite game to play is basket ball.


These activities need to be therapeutic.

Challenge yourself with new things and couple them with the familiar. Meditatation is good, try it in the woods next time or by a waterfall. Also, think, study and live! Always new experiences.

Ellen DeGeners\nYou have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is.\n\nRodney Dangerfield\nI told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. \nHe said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.\n\nSteve Martin\nThere is one thing I would break up over and that is if she caught me with another woman. I wouldn't stand for that.\n\nI don't want your Mom to worry alright? When she worries she starts saying things like 'I told you so' or 'Stop doing that I'm asleep'.


I dont eat beans, but I start to get dizzy and annoyed with the farts I lay. It stinks so bad I can't stand it anymore, Know of any medications?

There is 3 men in a hotel. They order a pizza thats $30. They get the pizza and the pizza boy brings the money to the owner but he said that that pizza only cost $25 so he goes back to give them the 5 dollars back. On the way he decided to keep 2 for himself since they didnt give him a tip and it would split evenly between them. That means they all really paid 9 dollars each if they all get 1 dollar back.  If 9 dollars times 3 men equals 27 dollars, and if u add the 2 dollars the pizza boy kept for himself u will get 29 dollars so what happend to the other dollar?????????

You don't add the 2 dollars to the 27 dollars. The men paid 25 dollars for a pizza and 2 dollars to the boy. That's the 27 dollars.


Like, do u like a girl 2 b totally skinny, or just normal thin, or a bit on the meaty side, fat, overweight...ur opinion please?

I refuse to sugar coat God's word and add on to things that aren't in God's word.\nAlso,I refuse to compromise with evil because I believe that if God were to compromise with Satan then Satan would still be up there in Heaven instead of him being in Hell after he was kicked out of Heaven.

You can be bold in the Lord and not sugar coat his word and stiil have a good attitude.  Their are ways of saying things that can put your point across and still be taken well. It is all about the attitude.  We don't want to sugar coat the word yet we don't want to say it in a way that make the people we are talking to step back and run in the other direction. We have to try to be like God.  Jesus spoke in a way that always made his point clear butb also showed grace and mercy.  Try it.  Pray that God will give you the wisdom to say things his way and not yours.  we are always safer in his will than out of it.


Oh my, it seems like K Fed just used Britnet Spears to just get his music out there! This from the guy who said that he is going to be the next Eminem. What's your opinion?

Yes, PapaZao!  Such a stupid, waste of his time.

Without it, some of my computers systems don't work at all such as the command for printing.  I have to turn the computer off then on before I can print stuff.  I can't reload the software because it says I need this file.

I am  newly promoted manager and i have to fire someone for the first time. Any suggestions?

In today's litigious society, I suggest you document, document, document. Make sure you have at least three reasons. If it is time clock related, it is time theft or an attendance issue, you can fire right away for the first but need to fit the latter to your companies policy for attendance. And so it goes, document everything, always have an answer for your reasons and make sure those reasons fit your companies policies.\n\nTo actually do the firing, take the person into a private space, bringing with you the next down in management or position that is of the same sex as the offender. This will protect you on so many levels. Then, start by stating the companies policy's that were broken and inform that person they "no longer have a job" with this company. I suggest you do this first thing when they come in or they will hear rumors. Be prepared for outbursts of anger or denial and maintain your cool. Hold to the facts and if the person yells or raises Cain, inform them they will be escorted to their locker to collect their things (or where ever their things are) and walk with them to the door. \n\nFiring someone has to have really good back up because they will 9 times out of  10 file for unemployment which costs your company money. Save the money and your raises will be a bit easier for the company.

tell me how isolation transformer is working??

An isolation transformer is a one to one ratio transformer which is used to isolate equipment from the main power supply.  An isolation transformer provides a physical barrier between the primary winding and the secondary winding.  In single phase applications, this is often used for safety reasons (limiting available fault current, etc).  In three phase applications, this can also be used for power quality reasons (triplen harmonic mitigation), or to change winding configuration from delta to wye, wye to delta, etc.

where is a good place to get this information?  I have no kids or house, what else can I deduct?  I do work as a writer and artist when I am not working at my day job, what can I deduct from that?

unless u have income as writer and an artist, you can not deduct any expenses. If you had a reasonable amount of income you could do a schedule C (business income  or loss). Otherwise the IRS will consider it a hobby.\n In terms of any other deductions, unless they exceed the standard deduction , it is not worth it. See the site below for more info on deductions


"butter-fly catching" of classification??? I have this sentance "....dismising the latter style as mere butter-fly catching-of classification". It must have some symbolic meaning, so can you explain it with simple words? I have sth like paper work to do. pls and thanks

imagine someone with a net randomly swooping up butterflies from a large group; they catch some and miss some, right?  Thus, the definition is correct, but leaves out some aspects of the idea/concept/whatever.

I have already been in school for ten years and I have a number of quality job offers. But, I feel like well I would always wonder, what if...  Anyone have an ideas about getting a Doctorate chime in.

unless you're really committed, don't do it. In my experience you have to be a bit masochistic too! I was paid to do mine (wouldn't have done it otherwise) and I really believed in the project, think long and hard before starting. Having said that, I would (probably) still do it again. I've had control over the direction of my research, something that only academia can really give you.

There have been different studies as to the prediction of earthquakes.  Many people have ideas such as measuring the movement of the Earth.  I have even seen a report of a man that said he could predict earthquakes using a glass pop bottle many years ago.  Having spent half my life in earthquake country the one method that aways holds true is dogs will start barking for absolutely no reason for about 15 minutes before an earthquake.

My husband becomes addicted to internet porn and it definitely affects our sex life-he's not interested for days after a porn session-but says theres nothing wrong with it and it has nothing to do with me,I cant compete with the floozies-thinking about divorce if this continues...

Wow I would think the opposite would be the case. More interested. \n\nI can affect your marriage especially if he wants to try things your not comfortable with. \n\nIt also sounds like your husband has 3 things you need to learn how to deal with. \n\n1) highly visual in regards to sexual stimulation. \nthis shold be a fun one for you. learn to teash and fill his (voyeristic side) it's actually common for men. after all our ("NEED" for sexual fulfillment) is based on our (Physical) responce to stimuli. \n\n2) Unmet "NEEDS" in the marriage. ( His Needs, Her Needs) at some point you started ignoring one of his 5 basic "NEEDS" when that happens he begins a process of withdrawing from the relationship. \nhis need went unmet so he withholds one of yours. now your upset and withhold another and he responds. \nonce one of either of you "LOVE BANKS" become empty your now suseptable to an affair. mainly because some external "person" began filling one of the "NEED" not being met at home. the problem can be fixed though after an affair it then will need professional help to solve. \n\n\n3) The books listed below can help you understand each of your 5 basic "NEEDS" as well as help you understand his unique "love language" ( the 5 love languages) which is basically words or actions that he accepts as messaages of love from another person. during dating you sends this messages uncounsiously. but after marriage we forgot what we did while dating and stop sharing the message of "LOVE" in a format he would understand. more time then not your sending signals in "Your own unique language" but he forgot the code also and no longer understands your language\n\nI hope that helped. if you have questions send a shout. \nI listed the books below that I quoted from. \nMay God Bless your family and help you find reconsiliation.

I had developed symptoms of herpes, but i could not visit a doctor immediately as it was not possible for me for some reason. I visited after 3 days. But mean while I could do nothing but just make sure that the blisters dont get burst. At that time i was wondering if there is any home remedy that will at least keep the pain away till i actually start a treatment.

There are several alternative treatments that have been yielding encouraging evidence in controlling the virus.\n\nYou may visit the source website below for further description of these.


i like doing pushups, but i dont noe how many i should do each night.

First of all, you don't want to do them every night. You will see much better results if you do them every other night. Your muscles need to have time to recover, which take about 48 hours. And you also need a proper diet to see the best results.\n\nHow many to do? do as many as you can, then some more. To get results quickest, you want to overload the muscles. And don't forget to work the rest of your body. Push-ups are good for working the chest and triceps, but it just don't look right if that is all you develop.


I'm working on a "controversial" speech for a class and it got me wondering about what normal, everyday people feel about the subject. Any input will be greatly appreciated by my ever-curious brain!

We need to control who enters our country. Illegal immigration results in a lack of control. Though some would like to help as many people out as possible there are limits to the help we can provide. We need to reasonable and sensible with our resources. Via illegal immigration, criminals or terrorists can access our country without our knowledge. In addition, we must insure that people who enter our country are inocculated and have not contracted any infectious diseases. We want to mantain our infrastucture of economics, medical and education needs. With a lack of knowledge of how many people are here and who they are, how can we plan and budget for our needs?\nThink of it like a rescue boat, only so many people can fit before we begin to sink. Plus who would you want in your boat, the murderer or a child?


I know black roses dont exist naturally, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to, and with what to, color a rose black.

There are three varieties of black roses that are sold commercially in the US.  Black Magic, Black Beauty and Black Baccara.  The Magic are more of a deep, deep, dark blood red and the Beauty and Baccara are more of a true black.\n\nBest Wishes!


Spam=\nAny massive flood of drivel which serves to flood a communications channel, reduce the signal-to-noise ratio and annoy the hell out of a large number of people.\n\nThe word comes from an old Monty Python skit where some folks in a diner are unable to have a conversation because a group of Vikings at a nearby table keep singing the "Spam" song. (This is a gross oversimplification of the skit, but covers the important point.)\n\nThe term became connected with computers in 1985 when somebody harassed one of the original Pern MUSHes by echoing:\n\nSPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM\n\non all their terminals every few seconds until they booted him.\n\nToday, "Spamming" is flooding netnews or email with tons of useless garbage, thus reducing the signal-to-noise ratio and driving people nuts. This typically means flooding the net with one single message (often an advertisement) posted to hundreds or even thousands of newsgroups or email addresses. It can also mean posting over and over again to a single newsgroup in the hopes of drowning someone out.\n\nThe first major netnews spam was executed circa January of 1994 when a junior admin at an Adventist college in Michigan named Clarence Thomas IV spammed approximately 5000 newsgroups to warn everybody that Jesus was coming. He was fired and the offending posts were cancelled.\n\nPerhaps the first recorded spam of all was the "JJ incident" which happened May, 1988. An earlier example is known as "the dinette set heard 'round the World" http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=337... -- only two posts, but they were posted to net.general, which is seen everywhere.

i have a little fat over my lower abs and i was wondring if there is something extra i could do

It isn't safe to drop weight too quickly; you'll lose muscle and water weight and you'll soon gain it back. You should try to eat less (but eat healthy foods to make those calories count for good) and exercise more.

Ihave vowed to myself not to love again but i met a nice man 3months ago,we have great sex & he cares but i fear he may discover my fear to love again,i don't want to hurt him.

Talk to him about your fears. Let your relationship play out and just go with the flow. Whatever happens will happen. You fall in love. You can't make yourself. Enjoy what you have.


i want to start a business and what should i start.

I think what matters most is YOU. What may be a success for one could be a failure for another.\n\nI posted some articles/links to books about what's considered the best businesses to start.\n\nThink of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies. Check out the industry – is there a need for the services that you can offer? Check out costs of starting and if the possible ROI (return on investment) is going to be worth it for you.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!


I want to publish my story but I don't know how to go about doing it. I see many websites on publishing but it's all so confusing & overwhelming. Most of them that I saw were contests. I want to earn money cuz I'm planning to be a writer someday. It doesn't say how much you'd get for your stories (well I know noone really knows but maybe I could get an idea). I am fooled by the word 'publish'. I can see that it doesn't always mean you earn money for your stories. One site talks about paying $100 for books with your custom cover but I don't know if I can afford that. Plus, why pay that much money when I'm not sure if I'm gonna get that much for it? I'm just asking for a cheap place. I guess it's never possible to publish for free and earn money?

you can go to any publishing company and ask them about that... if your story is interesting, they'll agree to publish your story.


people always say "its always the last place you look" well duh your not going to look after you find it! so why do they say it

i always keep looking, just incase i find it again.it always a plus when you find that lost dollar twice.lol


what did the result when adding palm oil and gasoline together?...y did our shit is smell teribble and not good?...what did u think about the future of america?

I don't really understand your question, but I think you are talking about our war on terror, am I right? Well, we recieved a serious attack which killed thousands of people, more would have died if the other two planes had hit their targets. If a country, or organization, does not want the world's most powerful nation to come breaking down their door, they shouldn't make such a blatant declaration of war. (If they didn't want war, why would they hijack several planes and try to crash them into very important buildings filled with thousands of people?) Did we start fighting this war before or after their act of aggression? After. How many countries are we allied with? How many times have we entered into a war not our own to protect those allies? How many billions of dollars are we sending overseas to many different countries to give food, clothing, and medical supplies to? How much money have we spent on fighting the AIDS epidemic in Africa? And even in Iraq, we are not just fighting, we are giving them clean, running water, more electricity than they have had in many years. And yet, despite how much we help other countries, when we retalite to a despicable attack, we are labled as cruel warmongers? That is hardly fair. I am an American. I am proud to be an American. I support George Bush. To my fellow Americans, remember 9/11? Remember how sad and angry you were? Remember how you called for justice? But now that there is criticism, now that we are in an all out war, even though you are safe over here thanks to that very war, suddenly you turn cowards and traitors? Shameful! I love America, and if someone attacks her, you can bet there will be hell to pay for it.


my friend has gone to a federal prison in washington, and I am desperatly trying to locate him. I have tryed and failed on all sites.

Are you sure your friend is in Federal custody? if so, you should be able to find him here http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.jsp \nIf there is a chance he's in State custody. Washington doesn't seem to have an inmate search, but try asking here http://www.prisontalk.com\nThere is a forum marked "Lost in the System", and someone there will be able to advise you in how to locate your friend.\nGood luck


First off, I have seen questions where someone says if you answer you get 10 points, is that bogus or can you really do it, if so how?? I want to help people get points\n\nNext, I am fairly new at this and I have seen some bizarre questions out there. LOL I can tell people are bored or have too much time on their hands. \n\nWhat are some of the strangest or stupidest questions you have encountered on this site?? (it doesn't count if you say this question ) LOL ;)

Some ppl are just trying to be idiots you click on their face and look through their QA and all of their questions and answers are really stupid. Like, I am a dog trainer, if I had sex with my students would that be wrong? Or questions with 700 misspelled words. You get ten points plus a warm and fuzzy feeling if your answer is selected as best. So by picking a best answer (mine for instance :)} you are giving 10 points.


anyone know how to solve this equation? Thanks\n\n1/x - 1/(x+3) = 1/60

1/x - 1/(x+3) = 1/60\n\nMultiply both sides by x: \n1 - x/(x+3) = x/60\n\nMultiply both sides by (x+3): \n(x+3) - x = x(x+3)/60\n\nMultiply both sides by 60:\n3 = x(x+3)/60\n\n180 = x(x+3)\n\nSubtract 180 from both sides:\n0 = x^2 +3x - 180\n\nFactor:\n0 = (x+15)(x-12)\n\nSolution: x = -15, x = 12\n\nNote: When you multiply both sides by x and (x+3), that eliminates 0 and -3 as possible solutions. In this case, it doesn't matter. In general, after you have your solutions, you should check them to see that you haven't multiplied through by 0 at some point.

i burned this pic to a cd and now i want to go back to the site i got it from but dont remember which it was. is there anyway to search for a site using a pic?

As far as I know, there are currently no search engines that can use an image as a way to search.


2log A - 3log B + 1/5log C\n    3        3          3

...=(logA+logA)-(logB-logB-logB)+1/5logC=(logA^2-logB^3)+1/5logC\n= log(A^3/B^3)+1/5logC =log(A^3/B^3)+logC^1/5=log[(A^3*C^1/5)/B^3]\nNow if you know to transform C^1/5 (i don't really remember now)it becomes even simpler.


Way to follow the question, James F.\n\nJarrod: without knowing what state you're in, there may not be any "proper" way to mark illegally parked cars (that is to say, it may be something left up to the individual officer or agency).  \n\nWhat I will agree with James F about is the need to mark the car...are you talking about marking it to determine how long it's been parked in a timed parking zone, or marking it to determine if it's abandoned?  \n\nBottom line: unless your state requires some special kind of marking, I doubt very much there's any "proper" way to mark a parked vehicle for enforcement purposes.  If there's heat coming from above, ask them how *they* would like you to address the situation so that you can do so most effectively..."yes, Captain...we think this is a real problem too.  How would you suggest we begin immediately enforcing your bizarre wishes?"\n\nOkay, maybe I'd leave out the "bizarre" part...


In reference to "Lift Every Voice and Sing", sometimes known as the Negro or African-American national anthem. I'm not trying to sound bigoted, I just want to know why we have it....

"Singing this song quickly became a way for African Americans to demonstrate their patriotism and hope for the future. In calling for earth and heaven to "ring with the harmonies of Liberty," they could speak out subtly against racism and Jim Crow laws — and especially the huge number of lynchings accompanying the rise of the Ku Klux Klan at the turn of the century."

Did I miss sth or do sth wrong in the function ?\n\n\nstruct Node {\n  int value;\n  Node* next;\n};\n\nNode* head = NULL;\n\n\nvoid list_insert(int val, int pos){\n\n  Node* temp;\n  Node* newNode;\n  int i=0;\n  \n  //if list is empty, return 0\n  \n\n      temp = head;\n\n      while(i < (pos-1) ){\ntemp=temp->next;\ni++;\n      }\n      \n      newNode= new Node;\n      newNode->next = temp->next;\n      newNode->value=val;\n      temp->next=newNode;\n}\n//end list_insert()

So this is pretty straightforward. I'm assuing you are using C++ since if this is C you need a typedef or struct Node * instead of Node *. It would be helpful if you'd indicate if the code compiles and doesn't work, or if it doesn't even compile.\n\nYou never make good on this comment:\n//if list is empty, return 0\n\nSeems like you ought to say something like:\n if (!head) { head=new Node; head->value=val; head->next=NULL; return; } \n\n\nHere you walk to the position you want to insert into. Of course, if the list isn't this long, you get a null pointer reference:\nwhile(i < (pos-1) ){\ntemp=temp->next;\ni++;\n}\n\nIf you want to stick with your original comment I'd say if (temp->next==NULL) return;\n\n// So this makes a circular reference! When done\nnewnode points to temp, but temp points to newnode\n\nThat's not good! You need to insert differently. If you really want to insert before, you need to remember the previous next pointer so that you can "patch" the linked list. \n\nnewNode= new Node;\nnewNode->next = temp->next;\nnewNode->value=val;\ntemp->next=newNode;\n}\n//end list_insert()

As many christians state, god is omni this and omni that, but it seems they fail to place themselves within this specturm.  If god is everything or has an awareness of everything then we are in essence god so long as we do not limit ourselves to merely this body or some other form of limited identity.  \n\nPlease state a rebuttal or commentary to these thoughts.

Some people believe that God is a being.  And no matter how much they say that He is Omnipresence / Omnipotence, they hold on to that idea.  Other people believe that God is an entity or consciousness.  In my opinion if God is omnipresence and omnipotence, that would include all things in the universe.  Try this idea on for size.. If God is omnipresence then wouldn’t God also exist within things / beings that are considered “evil, ” like a terrorist or murderer?


i dont know what the names  are but i want how much one with video cost and how much one without video costs (i think those are the original ipods).

i dont think so. The other day i remember going to sleep at 23:50. i had this dream in which my husband and i were running away from someone. we ran along highways and through tunnels and eventually ended up in a chinese restaurant where this guy comes and saves us. it felt like forever and i was so deep asleep. at 12:15 my baby woke up for her feed and thats when i woke up.
