I'm 29 & still single. I have this proposal fr a friend. He said he'll marry me though we havent seen each other personally. He said he's dying to have a baby & he wants it w/me.

Marriage is supposed to be the final destination of a sweet love affair between a man and a woman. There is no asurance that a couple will even have children after getting married. Marriage is suppossed to endure, children or no children. So love is the main purpose for marrying, not children. Suppose you marry this friend of yours and you discover you can't have children - you'll start talking about that demon called DIVORCE. You'll live a happier life if you married someone you love, one who loves you. And don't get pregnant outside wedlock -single parenting is not the best thing for any child. I believe you'll find someone who loves you enough to marry you for you, not for a child or any other reason. I pray you find that someone.\nXemor!


HELP!  My teen is working very hard for her track team at pole vaulting, however, the coaches AND team members are all right handed.  My daughter is struggling and I would really appreciate any tips to pass on to not only her, but the coaches as well, (beyond "do the opposite of right handers!") Any web links that might help?  Thanks, I really appreciate it.

unfortunately, I think this is going to amount to practice, practice, practice.  Obviously, the majority of her strength and coordination is going to lie on that left side, so basically the only thing she CAN DO is watch the others, take their advice, do it the other way, and get better at it.


I need to know how to write a paragraph proof to prove this.

First we note that the two bases of the trapezoid are parallel and the segment joining the midpoints of the altitudes is parallel and equidistant from the bases. Therefore the vertical displacement of the midpoints of the bases from the midpoints of the altitudes is equal.\n\nIf we also contruct the segment joining the midpoints of the bases we see this intersects our other segment at its midpoint. We have now cut our quadrilateral into four triangles and it is an easy task to show that opposite triangles are congruent using SAS.

If you will recall the "BIG THREE" were all on the take with Saddam Hussein and voted in the U.N. Security council NOT to invade Iraq. Later when the records and weapons were captured within Iraq....... Russian, German and French finger prints were tell tale signs of their collaboration with Hussein. So can we trust any of them now as the issues with Iran escalate?

I think the only thing we can REALLY trust is GWB to create enemies and go to war when not needed (no link between Irak and Bin Laden/terrorism- there are links now thanks to the invasion).


This is the third of many questions I will be asking for a class project. If you haven't yet answered the other questions it would help so much if you would.

I think that the government has made some mistakes, but is doing the best they can under the circumstances, and under the time limit they have to make the desicions. I'm 13, by the way.


This lady on the pregancy board is trying to find away to have a baby by her boyfriend who can't have a erection for medical reason, surgery of some sort, and it got me thinking.  She is amazing because i think most women and men would not be with someone if they could not have sex.  If they were married and something happed that would be different but no "normal" sex ever  WOW so would you get with someone if you could not have sex

Personally I could do it if I HAD to. Of course most of us prefer sex over not having it but i think that if we were already in a relationship and i loved this person then we could find other ways to be intimate with eachother! Its kind of cute in a way!


I think they are insane for running these!\n\nWhat about the other ones (not the CREEPY King ones) where they have the women wearing frilly panties and a black dude is singing and playing guitar and they say- where they give you a shave? WHAT THE HECK!?!?!?!

I haven't seen the frilly panty ones but I agree that the creepy king is just weird. They even called him I think "freaky king guy" in the superbowl commercial. They're just going for shock value, trying to appeal to a new generation and get them loyal to the BK name. Did you notice how fast the "coq rock" band went away? (the guys for the chicken fries-coq is french for chicken) apparently the whole band name and marketing scheme was computer generated and they didn't realize how suggestive it was. Well, that's what they claim. Nobody puts anything into advertising accidentally, that's the first rule of marketing.

When statistics show over and over again that republicans give more to the needy and charity than the democrats do?

Dems hate capitialism and behind the smiling face of every democrat there is a socialist waiting to get out..


The Us produces 13,000,000 tones of two things. The most worrying of the two is the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (the KYOTO protocol agreement could help here). The second thing is monetary coinage i.e. loose change.


I am sick of these so called free sites that want money to see anything, write somebody a note, or whatever.

I live in a town so republican there are no democrats on the ballots.  There is no way it will show here and the local Walmart will not carry the DVD.  The library does not carry the book, (short Story/article) and I don't have the money to travel 75 miles and pay $10 to see it in Wenatchee.

Well, just like in real life, Jack gets murdered for his relations with men.  The Good Ol' Boys, the same people that burn crosses and love a good hangin', got their tire irons and tortured him to death--most likely the father-in-law and some of his drinkin' buddies.  \n\nEnnis shuffles around in life, without two nickels to rub together, thinking about Jack, knowing he will never have a relationship with or ever fall in love with anyone again.  The real sadness is that two people who in a one-in-a-million chance found true love--their soulmates, but could not make it work.  They tried to blend, and live their lives together discreetly, but it just didn't work.  Jack had more interactions with other men, so he was more likely to be caught.\n\nThe frustrating thing about the 60's and 70's was people's inability to talk.  The most was said when nobody was talking.  Ennis's wife tried to talk about it, but Ennis ran out during a Thanksgiving dinner.  In the end, Ennis learns about Jack's death from his wife, who tells a lie to cover up the truth, saying while Jack was changing a tire it blew off the rim and killed him.  We aren't told if Ennis believes the lie or knows what really happened.  \n\nEnnis goes to Jack's parents' ranch.  He goes to Jack's room, and finds both his shirt and Jack's shirt from their summer together on the mountain, hung together on the same hangar.  Jack's mother loved Jack, regardless of his sexuality.  There was so much said between the mother and Ennis without one word spoken--and that was the beauty of the film.  The mother knew how much Jack loved Ennis, and she realized that both she and Ennis both loved Jack more than any other people in his life.  Jack's early end was felt most deeply by Ennis and the mother, and you could see the pain in both characters.\n\nThe only thing of value in Ennis's life is his love and relationship with Jack.  He loves his daughters, but that really isn't on the same level as his relationship with Jack.  He keeps the two shirts on the hangar in his closet hung on a peg.  This is a symbol of their love--the shirts being on the same hangar, being together, signify their oneness.  That's why Ennis could not love again, because he became one (stop the star wars jokes) with the one he loved.  His acknowledgment, and his keeping the shirts, showed that his love for Jack would never die.\n\nWhat I respect most about the film was the way both Jack and Ennis were portrayed.  It was very anti-media: there were no men wearing women's clothes, or talking with lisps, or waving their hands around like little girls.  There were no metrosexual marketing schemes, lipstic, or bulging 70's bell-bottom pants.  These were guys who grew up in rural areas and participated as men in all activities, including rodeo, ranching, and making babies.  They fully functioned in the tradional sense, in the way people think "men" are supposed to act.  The only difference was they fell in love with each other.  When you escape all the homosexual stereotypes, I ended up forgetting about the gender altogether--I saw two people in love, a love forbidden by local customs and culture.  I wish you could see the film for yourself.  \n\nMany people I am sure reacted like ol' Winky.  Hate is found in many forms, and passed on from generation to generation, In God's Holy Name, of course, to give it extra punch.  The one and only God of creation, the God who bore me and bore the universe, would never condemn true love between two people, period. Rules and cultural moreys are created by man, for man.  Love transcends all those boundaries, and should be respected and nurtured.  If hell exists, you can bet there is a special place in hell for people who go out and torture other people...


I saw a commercial for Lipozene, and would just like any info. on it, like does it have any side affects? Does anyone know if it even works? Any help would be great, thanks!

This question comes up all the time on here. No they do not work. If you read small print they only claim to aid weight loss. You still have to exercise and eat healthy which works on its own. People must be made to understand, fat takes time to build up and time to lose. Its hard work but that is the penalty for overeating and eating Junk. Adverts are always Glossed up, dont be taken in.\nPlenty of water to wash out your toxins, plenty of healthy\nfood, no salt, no sugar, no fat, no so called Diet Plans and lots of exercise to Burn off your Fat Store. Think about  the time it took to gain the weight, its always quicker to lose it. Most important: Be honest with yourself about your eating habits, some people, and they know who they are, always cheat or give up to easily. Nobody ever said that losing weight is easy. Its not, you have to work at it.                 Good Luck

Can I put on my website a text that was released under the license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/deed.en or it is considered commercial use? (my website has advertising, like Google AdSense, so I make money with it).

I am not a lawyer, and you should probably speak to one about this, but here's my two cents. The full legal text says, "You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works."\n\nDetermining what is "primarily intended" for commercial purposes is somewhat hazy, but if you are not making more money than it costs to run the site, etc. (factoring in non-cash costs like your time as well), you are likely acting within the license. Making money is not completely forbidden by the license, but using the work primarily to do so.


Please don't refer me to that Animal Symbolism in Celtic Mythology paper by Lars Noodén.

There is a dragon on the Welsh flag, and in Welsh school we were taught that it symbolyses strenght, power and force. We are only a little nation, the dragon represented our willingness to fight for what was rightfully ours. \nThe dragon would have been a natural symbol for those who wished to preserve their Romanised way of life against the barbarian invader. \nThe ancient poets Aneirin and Taliesin use the Welsh word for dragon "draig" in the sense of "warrior" or "leader" and this usage remained to the Middle Ages. In the Historia Brittonum (ascribed to Nennius) of around 800 A.D. the dragon is seen as a symbol of national independence in the story of the red dragon battling with the white dragon of the Saxon enemy.\nBasiclaly, Welsh V English.. Still on going!


PR is a US commonwealth and other than people think we have ALL the privilegies of a citizen born in the states. 50 is a round number of stars on the flag but we are the ones to decide that, thats the priviliege that US gave to us.We didnt ask to be a territory but we should be treated with respect after all isnt that ONE of  the reasons for which US occupied PR in the first place beside taking advantage as they are doing now with IRAK.Dont take me wrong I love USA but hate people who think PR asked for what we got. People who think we are taking from them when professionals, militaries and now TAXES are part of our contribution  to this society. People should read and learn more before writing posts as the ones I've read under Puerto Rico!

Nope, I think the goal with Iraq, is just to make it a stable government, and help the people there. From your picture your female right?  Well, if you lived in Iraq you wouldn't have even been able to post this question... Just because your female.  More than likely you wouldn't even be able to read, as only 25% of Iraqs female population can read.\n\nIn part of course its for oil aswell.  A warring nation in an area where we get over 31% of our oil from (the middle east nations).  If they wage war and take over kuwait again, or whatever country it could drastically effect the WORLD ecomomy, not just the us's.\n\nThis however, does not mean it's only about the oil.  There was the possible threat of a Womd.  Also,  per the amount of money Iraq has, it has one of the lowest quality of life ratings per individual of any country.  \n\nI work with someone from Iraq,  I had no idea about this before I met him, but apparently slavery still exists in Iraq.  He was a slave until he was 19, and managed to escape to Saudi arabia, and then move to the us.  When he was 8, there government was building a another new palace. his house was in the way, and his father refused to move.  There goverment offered no compensation, no lodging, no anything.  Also it was where his family had lived for 3 generations, so his father refused to move.  His father was killed, and dragged away, just because he refused to move.  \n\nWithout an Adult male at the head of a family, his mother and he were arrested, and then forced into indentured servitude,(Slavery) but not to learn a trade or a skill.... just because she was an adult female, without a husband, and because he was a child.  Though he escaped at 19, his mother is still over there, and still someones slave.  He is in the process of trying to buy her freedom, and I wish him the best in this.  Noone should have to worry about buying the freedom of their family, thats just not how life should be.\n\nPuerto Rico was different, Puerto Rico, was pretty much just the "prize" from the Spanish- American war.  \n\nI can't tell you if you would be happier if American influence was there or not, however I can tell you what would more than likely happen if all North American influence left Puerto Rico... \n\nFirst, the small port drug dealings from Colombia, would double and triple, then it would move inland.  Filling streets and buildings everywhere with drugs, and violence. Puerto rico, would soon be filled with all the drugs, murder, and corruption of colombia.\n\nShortly after the Colombian drug trade has sunk its claws in even further. While Puerto Ricans are stuggling just to stay alive, worrying if they should even send their kids to schoool or not, because of all the resent shootings... Then Cuba will step in, Promising to restore peace, and clean up the streets.  They will declare martial law,  and in true measure they will "clean up"  anyone breaking any laws will be shot,  many innocent people will die.\n\n5-10 years down the road, Puerto Ricans as a people will look at their life, and wonder what went wrong?  Where did their freedom go?\n\nWith the Us there, we are there as friends, and you get full citizenship.  If Cuba comes in, what will you have?  I'm not saying we should be there, it costs the US government quite a bit of money to aid Puerto Rico, and if you want the US out, I say lets leave, and I of course wish you the best in life.


Initial equation:\nAl(OH)3 + H2C03 --> Al2(CO3)3 + H2O\n\nOn the right side, there are 3 CO3 ions, so we must put a "3" in front of H2C03 on the left hand side of the equation. Similarly, there are 2 Al ions on the right hand side of the equation, so we must write "2" in front of Al(OH)3 on the left hand side of the equation.\n\n2Al(OH)3 + 3H2C03 --> Al2(CO3)3 + H20\n\nNow, we see that the number of "O"s from OH ions and the number of "H"s from the OH ions (in Al(OH)3) and H ions (in H2CO3) is NOT EQUAL to the H2O on the right.\n\nOK so number of "O"s from OH ions = 2 X 3 = 6\nNumber of "H"s from OH ions and from H2C03 = (2 X 3) + (3 X 2) = 12\n\nOne H2O molecule has 2 Hs and 1 O, so 6H20 molecules will have 12 Hs and 6 Os.\n\nThus your final equation will give\n\n2Al(OH)3 + 3H2CO3 --> Al2(C03)3 + 6H20\n\nI hope I made this clear enough. I suggest that you read the chapter again or ask your teacher about this.


Here it is: find 2 nos. whose arithmetic mean is 6 and whose harmonic mean is 4 & 1/2. & I'd appreciate any extra help with harmonic sequences, it's the only one I don't get much. Please include a simple yet not-missing-a-beat solution. Thank you.

Harmonic mean is the reciprocal of the mean of the reciprocals.\n\nLet the two number be a and b. The arithmetic mean of a and b is (a+b)/2 = 6, so a+b = 12. The harmonic mean of a and b is 2/(1/a+1/b) = 2ab/(a+b) = 9/2, so ab = 27. The sum of two numbers is 12 and the product is 27, so the two numbers are roots of x^2-12x+27 = 0, which can be factored into (x-3)(x-9) = 0. Therefore, the two numbers are 3 and 9.


What are your thoughts about religion and faith being things which man invented, because our primitive brain can´t imagene "not to be"?

People have a need to believe in something outside of themselves. Some people believe in reason. Some people believe in a god. It is what ever works for you and you should not try to put down another’s beliefs


Jesus had to die so that we could all be saved.  If he didnt then no one could go to heaven because no one is perfect except him.  (Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit )(Gal. 3:13)  Faith and deeds are one in hand, According to James, (But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds.\n"Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.) James 2:14-25

What is the energy (in joules) of one photon of light that has a wavelength of 482.0 nanometers?

Use these equations:\nEnergy of a photon = 1240 eV * nm / lambda.\nlambda is your wavelength and you can leave it in nanometers.\nIn other words, 1240 eV nm / 482 nm = __ eV.\nThen use the conversion factor\n1 ev = 1.602 E-19 Joules to put your answer in Joules.\n:-)


I kinda like this guy in one of my after school clubs, but the thing is, one of my best friends use to have a huge crush on him last year, but this year she claims that she doesn't like him anymore. Should I just keep liking him or just back off? I don't want to hurt my friendship w/ my friend.

Ask your friend if she would mind if you dated him.  If she says it's okay with her, then you're in the clear.\n\nI had the same thing happen when I was in high school.  My best friend liked a boy.  Then I went away for the summer.  When I came back, she didn't like him, but I did.  She was TOTALLY cool with me dating him.  \n\nIf she didn't want me to date him, I wouldn't have.  She is more important to me than any guy could be.\n\nThat was so long ago!  That boy and I dated for a long time, but eventually broke up.  She and I are still best friends and we're now 30!!!


Billions of light years away, then where are the Heaven and Hell located ?

Some people believe that Heaven and Hell do not exist in a physical place that we would be able to see or otherwise detect, but there are a few more commonsense answers to your question. It is possible that\n\n1) They are farther away than we can currently see with telescopes\n\n2) They are not immediately recognizable as Heaven and Hell from our vantage point, and we may have actually seen them already without recognizing them.\n\n3) Although we can see great distances, we haven't really looked at much of the space around the Earth. If we assume the Earth as the center of our observations, and we are able to look in any direction for billions of light years, that's a lot of area to map. We haven't done it yet.\n\nThe last decade or so has seen the discovery of a great number of objects orbiting in our own solar system outside the orbit of Pluto. We're still finding things out there, and that's not even close to a single light year away. So, it would be pretty naive to think that, if we could see Heaven or Hell through a telescope, we'd find them right away. That would be like swinging a telescope around randomly and then wondering why it didn't focus on the star you were looking for.\n\nFinally, plenty of people don't believe they exist at all, so there's another answer right there.


so why is michael jackson publicly scorned and pete townsend isnt? if the allegations are true, i hope they both rot, but the fact is, pete townsend admitted it and mj didnt, so why the big difference in public outrage?

Michael Jackson openly admitted to having young boys sleep in his bed.  He shared porn and god knows what else with them.  He claims it was all in fun and was harmless (yea right)  He believes its normal behavior and sees nothing wrong with it.  Pete, on the other hand admitted to having a problem, the public dealt with it and moved on...Michael Jackson still claims he is innocent and I think the public is outraged that they havnt come up with solid evidence to prove otherwise.  Shame he is such freak...he was a good entertainer.


Besides medicine and medication, what can I do to prevent migraines from occurring?

As you state, there is no cure for migraines currently. Migraine is an inherited disease of the brain that has to do with a neurotransmitter called serotonin. At least 70% of migraine sufferers have a family member with migraine. Although medication is the mainstay of treatment, there are many methods of reducing the number of headaches you experience. Some simple ones include limiting your caffeine intake to one cup per day or eliminating it all together. If you do drink caffeine then you should not miss a day due to the potential of withdrawal headache. Regular exercise can prevent headaches. Get regular sleep. Wake up at the same time everyday, even on weekends. Too little or too much sleep is a common headache trigger. Go to the National Headache Foundation website for a list of food triggers. Identifying triggers will require completing a headache diary for several weeks to several months. There are vitamins, which have been proven to reduce headaches. Magnesium 400mg and riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 400mg have both been shown to reduce headaches. It may take up to 3 months to see the full effect. The only downside is the number of pills and the cost. To alleviate this problem for my patients, I worked with a vitamin manufacturer to develop a multivitamin with the above doses of vitamins plus all the vitamins in a regular daily multivitamin. Due to interest outside my practice we have made it available over the internet.\nWe also recommend a trial of physical therapy, which has been very effective. Behavioral therapy is also important since the number one trigger of migraine is stress.\nDon't give up. Remember migraine is a disease just like diabetes is. Diabetic don't make enough insulin, you don't make enough serotonin.\n\nGary A.

Go to a file (photo) that normally opens with Msn but that you want to change to Kodak. Right-click and select to choose the program to open with. Find Kodak and select to use this program for all similar files. That should switch your default program.

This is a twist on an old question (on two old questions in fact).\n\nWe know that *most* (not all) caucasian babies are born with eyes which *appear* blue due to lack of pigmentation (which develops during the baby's first year)\n\nSee http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AjsRfv4pM0xYIblC4v8Dom_sy6IX?p=babies+blue+eyes\nfor questions and answers on this subject\n\nMy question is this: do 'unpigmented' eyes appear blue for the same reason that the sky appears blue? Is it Rayliegh scattering etc.?

Unpigmented eyes look pink. (From blood vessels maybe.)  Probably not as deep as an answer you are looking for but just wanted to throw that one in.

I cant get her out of my heart now that she stop loving me we had a good thing going for us but I was still living with someone she knew the problem came when last year when I send her some flowers but my kids ask me if I could send some to their mother and she found out I did!Dont think wrong about her or me we knew what we were doing even before we stared to date she is a mother too and I always understood when she could not see me because of her family but sometimes she couldnt see my part I love her and miss her very much the bad part to this too is that we work at the same place and it makes it very hard for me to have her so close but to far away from me too! need help to get her back or out of my heart and mind!

well I have good news and bad news. If she is angry chances are she still loves you. YOu dont really get upset with people you have no feelings for. The bad news is that nothing can make the pain go away, and if you really love her you always will. But as time passes so will the pain. The two of you can never have a healthy relationship because you have too much history now. So chalk this as a learning experience because maybe thats what it was meant to be.


Sure why not, its kind of interesting to me!!! But what would my friends think??


Are you truly attracted to him or do you just feel the need to have a man? I find it kind of odd that you do not wish to even physically kiss him (a sign of physical attraction) yet you feel the need to make love to him when he is not around. Maybe you need to look deeper and find what you truly seek.


My employer asked me to take a demotion because of my health.  I had to go on a leave of absence for 5 months - I was diagnosed with Bipolar I.  I had asked for accomodations, in the form of a letter, but all were denied.  My boss, upon my return to work, said that I could not transfer but if I stepped down, he could make that happen and get me to the location that I had requested.

I would have to know more details, but from the sounds of it I would have to say yes.

Here's a really good essay I found that includes a section on Emily Dickinson, and this poem in particular.\n\nhttp://www2.sjsu.edu/depts/english/Warnerabraham.htm\nQuoting, "Dickinson's New England Puritanism images a God of relentless demand--Tyranny, the speaker names Him--and unflinching observation; God is a Mastiff, who can be cajoled by manners and obeisance.  Dickinson, like Powers in "Abraham," identifies Abraham's amazing faith which causes him to act without "a hesitation."  Unlike like Powers' voicing, Dickinson's portrayal is terse and tight.  The condensed wording and the economy achieved through the dashes highlight the silence from Sarah, Isaac, Abraham, and readers who articulate questions that remain unanswered.  Her word is "obeisance," emphasizing the subordinant stance of respectful submission.  Humans, on Dickinson's reading, can only appease this God-ruler with humble acquiesence."


She is 9 weeks. The doctor said not to lift anything.

i will pray for your family!! i hope it to heal!!!


Please include disposal costs.\n\nThanks.

I believe in the long run it will be cheaper than fossil fuel based applications. Sure, nuclear reactors are expensive to build and control and the deposit of waste costs a lot. But in the long term, i think the costs saved from cleaning up pollution caused by fossil fuels, and costs saved from the transportation of fuels (uranium generates way more energy than an equal amount of oil or coal) will be more beneficial than using fossil fuels.


Are there any island territories owned/controlled by the U.S. near Nova Scotia?

There are three islands between Maine and Nova Scotia. These include Grand Manan Island, Campobello Island, and Deer Island. However these Islands are Canadian Possesions more specificly part of the New Brunswick Province. In the sources there are maps of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.


Tony Hillerman writes of the size of the Navajo Reservation in the southwest. I have friends from Walpole Island and Sault Ste. Marie, but I still don't know how many and how large or where existing living reservations are. I'd like to know what tribes they're reserved to, as well.\nNot the "reservations" that have been created for gambling purposes.

Here's another list. This one is on wiki, and is pretty easy to use.  Each link takes you to more detailed information for each reservation including what tribe(s) inhabits the reservation.  I think it includes all of the Indian Reservations in the US and there are links to some info on Canadian Indian 'Reserves'. It also comes with a high-res map from the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs).\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_reservations_in_the_United_States\n\n(1/16th Native American. Haven't determined which nation, yet. Still working through family history for that.)


I love my wife deeply, but she does not like traditional gifts that are too "luvy-duvy".  What can I get her that would mean something to her and deliver the message that I love her with all my heart without roses, chocolate, ect?

from a mans stand point! you know your wife more than anybody! sit back and think of some of the thing she has talked about. love is something money cannot buy. give of youself, do something for her. make her feel like she is the only woman there is.


If there was no time b4 the big bang than nothing could have happened so if the ball of matter was just sitting there and time wasn't going on than how could it have "exploded"?

It could have been the force resulting from a universal collapse just before.\n\nIf you're a religious person, then maybe it was God.


To forgive is to forget. What is the best way? What method do you employ? What if you keep remembering the hurt? And the pain? Thank you.

I had that problem as well for a while so I sat down and wrote out what I thought on it from what I knew and learned.  It's long so bear with it...\n\nWhat is forgiveness?Each person has their own definition of it. To some it is never talking about it again. For others its pretending whatever it was never happened. Still others think its absolution of guilt and minimizing what happened. Still others it means giving up thoughts of revenge. Finally, some feel it is as simple as giving up the hate. Which is right?\nOK, let’s start somewhere else… Firstly, why SHOULD you forgive? Is it really necessary? That is dependant a lot of you and your school of thought. Most Christians point to the phrases in the bible and say it’s gods plan. Others are more apt to put forth the proposal that is makes you a better person. But does it? Is it truly necessary to forgive someone to grow? My personal belief is this; it depends on what you are forgiving. Some things are small and don’t really mean that much so it’s not a big deal, forgiveness is easy there. But what about bigger things? Things that affect your life and your mental health? That is where it gets more complex… Anger, hatred and rage are there for a reason some times, all of us have felt them at some point in time, they are normal. They are there to tell you something is wrong and you need to work through it. Depending on the offense forgiveness isn’t automatic. It takes time. Sometimes forgiveness is NEVER warranted, EVER. Think about it, why should you forgive someone that isn’t the least repentant for what they did to you? Then there are truly evil acts that should never warrant forgiveness. Yet as mature adults we, mostly from teachings when we were small children, feel that we have to forgive someone no matter how heinous the crime. Step back a bit and think about that… Then ask yourself why? Why are you forgiving them? Is it because that is how you feel or is it because you were once told that is the proper thing to do? Which is it? What we are never taught as a child is that anger is healthy and the expression of such is right, we sometimes have a reason to feel that anger. And to get better that anger is needed. Only after you have worked through that stage should you consider forgiveness. Even then sometimes you don’t need to forgive someone. I hear the gasp from here so bear with me… Why should you have to forgive someone when you don’t feel it is warranted? The answer is you shouldn’t. There is nothing in this world that tells you it’s a requirement. Think about it; aren’t there some things done that don’t ever warrant it? No, forgiveness doesn’t make you better than them, really it doesn’t. Forgiveness will not get you into heaven faster. Forgiveness won’t make what is done to you go away. Forgiveness truly can only come when YOU are ready for it, not before. If that never happens then so be it. Just because you don’t and can’t forgive someone doesn’t mean you are filled with hate and rage, it just means you are unable to make that step because you don’t feel it is warranted, no other reason.\nSay you are ready to forgive someone for something fairly big, OK your ready to tell them all that and shine your halo a bit. But before it goes that far mayhap you should ask what their definition of it is. If it is we will never discuss it again, it never happened or that it’s an absolution of guilt back off! That is not forgiveness, they want you to forget it happened and let them off the hook. That is not forgiveness. Just because you FORGIVE them doesn’t take away their culpability in the matter or make it so it never happened. No way, doesn’t work like that. If they want absolution send them to church, that is the only place they will get it! No one ever said if you forgive them that you can’t ever talk about it, they just don’t want to is all. Forgive and forget is all wrong because as much as you try you will NEVER

And Do You Think There Should Be A Black Person Run For President?

I pray that one day there is a female president.  I also pray that she is an independent.  With this type of president many of Americas problems will be fixed.


blew mine out recently and after surgery, I'm in a hard cast...

mine took 8 weeks in a hard cast followed by 6 weeks in a soft cast... followed by 6 months of rehab


What do you think would happen if we were able to use 100% of our brain??  \n( I heard that we only use 10%)

This has got the be one of the most misleading statements in biology.  When people say "we only use 10 percent of our brains" they casually forget the rest.  We only use 10% of our brains at any given moment.  You use ALL of your brain, just at different times.  In the dark, you dont need the part of your brain the understands color, so you dont use it.  You only use the parts you need.  And 10% is an average calculated during average tasks.  When you arnt listening to things, your turn off the part of your brain that understands language.  You are not thinking about how to play the piano while you are writing a novel.  You conserve blood and energy by increasing it only to the parts of the brain you need at the moment.


She has been trying to send some emails out and is having real trouble trying to do so, because of that thing that pops up at the bottom of her emails, I am 150 miles from her to try and walk her through this, she has been getting this message that says send message to post master Please help me.

Have her verify the characters.  sometimes they will ask you to do this if you are sending e-mail through a second source.  I have to do this when I'm sending e-mails to people when I'm working on research through Family Tree Maker.  The e-mails aren't sent directly from me initially.  Other times it will ask you to verify the characters just to make sure you are the right person or perhaps she typed in the wrong password.  If all else fails have her turn off the computer and restart. Good luck.


I had oil in my dodo for more then a week already. and when i fart oil comes out of it too. It smells really BAD! :(

When you talk about "oil" I am presuming you mean a bad smelling discharge.\n\nAlthough I appreciate the humour by another party about informing chevron, I feel I must give you a more responsible answer.\n\nDischarge from any part of the body is a sign of either having sustained an injury or more comonly as a symptom of infection or other health problem.\n\nSince you have not mentioned the colour of the discharge the best advice that I can give is for you to make a visit to your doctor. He/She will be able to investigate the problem and give you a better diagnosis.\n\nMay I suggest that you do this as soon as possible as the sooner problems are diagnosed the easier and more comfortable they are to treat.


my friend is keep teasing me when i talk to other girls in my class . like they like to make fun of me with them . and when ever i talk to girls , i find that my close friends are teasing me for no perticular reason ..... what should i DO ..\n\nplease help me ..

They are teasing you because they are jealous of you.\n\nThey are trying to bring attention to them instead of the attention being focused on you.  They are just tryng to make themselves feel better and this is the only way they know how to do it.\n\nYou need to....as hard as it is to do...you need to ignore thier remarks.  Dont ever let them know you are bothered by the comments and you may even have to throw some of thier own silly commments back to them.\n\nPeople tease, because they are feeling less of themselves.  It is thier defense.\n\nGood luck!


Do the bugs look different? Do they go in different areas? I know lice effects the scalp, but do scabies effect the same area or everywhere?

The song is kind of jazzy. Not sure the time frame but not recent. It starts kind of like, "A boy from ee-pa-nee". I'm not sure what that last word is supposed to be but it kind of sounds like that. It is a the name of a place. It is a real jazzy, melow song sung by a woman. It was on a commercial also about a year ago but I'm not sure what the commercial was about. If you have any idea, please let me know. I really like this song but I'm just clueless about who sings this mellow, jazzy, calming song.

Ipanema. It is the name of a reputed surfers paradise, Ipanema Beach near Rio de Janiero, Brazil. Petula Clark, the Boy from Ipanema.~cool tune~


Iam friends with a married couple, who both happen to be leo's, but they hardly get along. He is funny, warm, and has a dynamic personality, while his wife is bossy, loud, uncaring, and cold. their b-days are only 4 days apart! why such a difference??


k... I'm developing a political theory and looking for a causal story. I have ideas. \n\nThe theory says that the more government increases spending on technology research and development, the better the president's approval rating will be.\n\nWhy would this work? I have ideas. It's basically rooted in that when R&D is up, then consumer confidence is up and the economy is more healthy. When the economy is more healthy then people attribute that to the president.\n\nI'm sure there are holes in the causal story. There are steps i'm missing. OR maybe it's just altogether wrong. \n\nIf so, prove it.

It is a sound theory, but you need to fill some gaps.  \n\nThere is no direct causal relationship between R&D and consumer confidence.  But you can still make a connection by assuming that when government encourages or funds R&D, its results (say, gene therapy) gives public a sense of hope and progress, which in turn increases consumer confidence and improves economy. \n\nYour second statement is a generally true proposition.  Voters tend to re-elect the same president if the economy was good.  However, the most recent presidential election disproves that theory.  Economy is not the only or determining factors in presidential elections, but it’s an important one.

Thought this might help:\n\nHOW TO REMOVE A KEYLOGGER?\nMost keyloggers work in the same manner as the computer viruses and therefore can be found and removed with the help of effective antivirus products like Symantec Norton AntiVirus, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, McAfee VirusScan, eTrust EZ Antivirus, Panda Titanium Antivirus, AVG Anti-Virus. Some advanced spyware removers, which are able to scan the system in a similar way antivirus software does and have extensive parasite signature databases can also detect and remove keyloggers and related components. Powerful anti-spyware solutions such as Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta, Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware SE, SpyHunter, eTrust PestPatrol or Spybot - Search & Destroy are well-known for perfect keylogger detection and removal capabilities.\n\nIn some cases even an antivirus or spyware remover can fail to get rid of a particular keylogger. That is why there are Internet resources such as 2-Spyware.com, which provide manual malware removal instructions. These instructions allow the user to manually delete all the files, directories, registry entries and other objects that belong to a parasite. However, manual removal requires fair system knowledge and therefore can be a quite difficult and tedious task for novices.\n\nNot all keyloggers (even if they track your personal information) are illegitimate and needed to remove immediately.


I'm an English teacher in Mexico and part of my sts' grade depends on an oral presentation, but I've run out of ideas!!

It depends on what level of English you teach.  Pehaps you could instruct your students to describe appropriate types of clothing for different weather conditions.  Another idea is to have them describe their diet and exercise habits, hobbies, responsibilities, and other daily tasks.


more on me. I have been out of work this time for 36 months. The work comp company has changed adjusters on me 3 times. The first one denied treatment, harassed me, lied about a treatment plan, didnt follow through with a treatment plan etc. The 2nd one was only there about a month when the company moved to a new location. This 3rd one is the one who my lawyer feels sorry for as she was just "thrown in" to everything. We had a mediation on her first week back from training. She has insisted that i go do a fuctional cap. test. and I have heard nothing. I have called my lawyer 3 times. the last time I called him he thanked me for reminding him to contact the adjuster.... does anyone have any advise that might me?  P.S I hope I posted this to the right place.  Thank You

As a workers' comp. attorney, it has been my experience that proceeding on a WC claim is a very long and tedious affair for injured workers.  It sounds like you are currently receiving some form of treatment, which is good.  It can take months to go to a hearing, and then months more if there is an appeal.\n\nIf you think your attorney is not diligently representing your interests, you are always free to get a second opinion.

Or are they just trying to fill there pockets?

A lawyer is a person licensed by the state to advise clients in legal matters and represent them in courts of law and in other forms of dispute resolution. Most countries today require professional law advisors in their judicial systems.\n\nThe role of the lawyer can vary significantly across legal jurisdictions. For instance, in some countries, lawyers may be required to lead or manage criminal investigations. In the United States, lawyers advise their clients regarding their rights, and argue in favor of the best interests of their clients.


Why does the company care much about their stock price in the secondary market (eg, NYSE, TSE...) while they don't atually earn from that transaction?

Companies have differnet interest to consider when they emit stock or bonds. There are company interests and investors interests.\nFirst of all they consider the price of the transaction, that is determined on the primary market when new issues are first offered, generally at a fixed price. In the secondary market the price is determined by demand and supply. \nSometimes in the secondary market the price is very different from the primary, in this cases the emitting company understands that its estimation of the stock price was wrong.\nFor example, if a company emits stoks at a fixed price and in the secondary market the price goes dramataclly down, the financial manager will obviously be "happy" because he managed to find founds at a  lower cost. General management on the other hand will be quite less "happy" because investors insatisfaction is a very unplesant thing to deal with.


Is the 3 set of 10 reps with heavy weights good for building muscle mass???


and that this violence is aimed at all who would happen to be near it at the time it erupts.  And this is crime against the american citizen.  Cannot gangs and gang members be considered terrorists no better than the terrorists of 9/11?  And cannot the government deal with gangs as they are doing in Iraq now?

I think gangs condone violence, and further its prevalence in American society, but I'm not sure "support" is the right word.  Maybe.  Anyway, they are a little different than terrorists and need to be dealt with differently.  For starters, they are mostly comprised of younger individuals, usually minors.  These are citizens that can ideally be changed for the better before they are adult members of society.  And a lot of gangs want good things, they just go about it the wrong way. \nI am not saying no gangs are violent or that no gang member should be punished, I just don't quite agree with your statements.


where can i find a website that posts the canadian top 100 chart in any city for free?


I am 25 sit at a desk all day.. There is no time to work out in my day. I am just wondering how the fastest way to loose it is. I don't care about safety at first I just want to see the pounds drop before I can get motivated.

try taboo\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck


Some of my all time favorite movies came out in the sixtes like The Children's Hour, Belle de jour, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. These movies were highly controversial for their day yet by today’s standards they would be mild. These were some of the first movies dealing with a women’s sexuality and took the women out of the perfect 50’s housewife role. Can anyone recommend more movies that deal with like matters from the same period?

I'm 12 and my mom won't let me have a boyfriend. Not a serious relationship or anything, but just someone to call a "boyfriend"! How can I change her mind?

tell her that she'll be more in control of the situation if she knows about it and you both talk openly about it, and that if she doesn't let you, you'll do it behind her back and something bad could happen then.

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?

16 year old high school junior plays point guard at Lemoore High School.  Lemoore, California.  Lemoore has highest ratio of made 3 point shots in central section, Alex has highest ratio at Lemoore High School.  5'9" 160lbs.  3.5gpa

Believe it or not, the coaches usually come to you -- early.  I know a 15-year-old, 6'3" high school basketball star who started receiving letters from universities as a freshman.  This was before he was invited to join the varsity basketball team as a freshman.  In short, Big Ten university coaches have been courting him and his parents since he was 14.\n\nSince your star has not been approached at this point, you must take matter into your own hands.  Despite the height factor, treat your star like a product.  Become your own Arliss or Jerry Maguire, i.e., sports agent.  Look at the college sports pages for top twenty lists to map out your target schools.  Assemble a media kit with the newspaper clippings, high school transcripts, a personal essay, letters of recommendation from faculty and community leaders, and action photographs of your star.  Pitch your star to the head coach and assistant coaches.  If they require more information, offer to send them a media kit.  Request an interview.  If possible try to bring your star to meet the coach if his/her team is playing at a nearby university.  Send a thank you note.\n\nIf that does not work, network, network, network ... Cultivate relationships with the sports writers at your local and big city newspapers and the sports anchors of your local television networks.  Ask for help.  Then ask for recommendations.  For the most part, if your star is not on the front page of the sports section, then you must be aggressive in gaining coverage.  \n\nAdditional keys to boosting the profile of your star are park districts, regional tournaments, traveling teams, basketball festivals, and summer camps.  The more people know about the talents of your star, the better.  It may sound overwhelming (and expensive), but practice and multiple performance venues make perfect public relations for budding NCAA stars.  If your star has not been playing basketball year-round, since kintergarten, then expedite your media campaign -- yesterday.\n\nIf your star is really a star, then a scholarship is in your reach.  So, roll up your sleeves and claim it.  Ask the basketball coach, athletic director, principal and teachers for support in your endeavor because the universities will confirm your information.\n\nAgain, year-round participation is of vital importance.  So, research leagues outside of high school.\n\nHave a grateful day.

Yes, it is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. Even better if you don't know them well.


I am leagally blind, (visually impaired). I was a n auto mechanic before I lost my sight, and would like to start an automotive accessories business, and would like info on finding gov. grants to start up without having to spend a small fortune on books and web sites to find where to apply

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


It is always either black or dark dark brown. Same for eyes, dark brown, or black. Except for the very few that have green and blue eyes which is very rare. Why are these color genes extremely rare in these countries? Why is it so common in Europe to see a group of people with vast different hair colors and eye colors?

To have a sudden trait pop up out of nowhere is called a mutation. Because your mother had a nose and your father had a nose, and these noses were in their genetic code, YOU have a nose. No surprise there, right?\nCertain regions of the world are going to have certain traits (dark skin, light hair, blue eyes, taller structure, etc) because that is simply what is passed down to them. If you had the lightest blond hair and had children in Japan with a Japanese woman, there is a CHANCE that your children would have light hair too. But your grandchildren will have darker hair... and great grands darker still. After a few generations your blond hair genes will have dissipated into the black hair genes that surround you.\n(This is why certain countries like the U.S. are called "melting pots": so many genes mixing together that you can have all kinds of results.)

I am always doing it evan when I dont realize it . And now my kids do it . I use to be so quiet .

Oh Lordy..Lordy...Lordy. \n\nGirl children will do that to you.  \n\nWhat you need is a break away from your kids, if nothing more than for a day or two. \n\nDuring that day, pamper yourself. Spend time ALONE.  Do something you love. Indulge. Appreciate yourself. Go to the beach. Take a dance class. Whatever makes you feel good.  You need to reenergize yourself.  \n\nThen while you're alone spend time praying and reflecting on who you are, what you want, and the type of parent you want to be. \n\nFocus more on the behavior you want to exhibit, instead of focusing on the things you're doing wrong.  Be positive.  Stay positive.  \n\n         "I will be patient and kind to my children because they deserve it." \n\n         " I will establish clear rules and a schedule for all to follow to keep order in my home" \n\n         "I will praise my children often and be involved in their actities"\n\n         "I will take good care of myself, by eating right, getting plenty of rest, and taking care of my health.  When I feel good, I am at my best" \n\nThen when you get back with your family sit down and have a family meeting. \n\nApologize to your children for yelling at them.  Let them know that you know this does not make them feel good and you will do everything you can to avoid yelling.  \n\nGet them to agree to help you work on this.  Do not blame them for your behavior.  Set a good example and accept responsibilty, but let them know that you have to work at this as a family.  \n\nA good book to read on this is "The Seven Habits for the Family" by Steven Covey. \n\nBest wishes to you. \n\nBe blessed.  \n\n:o)


Please comment on their technical support team.

I provide helpdesk services so I visit the Dell tech support often ... on fustrating feature of their support is they do not directly reference the hardware installed on a Dell system but generalize. They are also very protective in that if you are not the origional purchaser of the hardware they will not talk to you... Their overall intenet support is well below average ... their phone support is being outsorced to India and alot of people have told me that it is very below standard...


In my country vietnam, once a man loves a woman, the first thing he has to think about is the comments of his girlfriend's parents about himself. If they don't agree this relationship, a couple has to stop dating. Therefore everything depends on their parents. My sister loves a man who has a bad past time. He is 11 years older than my sister, which is normally unacceptable in vietnam, and he wasn't well-educated. But he's now a director of his own company, and after meeting him for sometimes i think he's a kind man, not bad as his past. But my parents are sitll preventing their daughter from dating him. what should i do now? i need your comments. Thanks!\nAnd make sure that i'm in vietnam, where traddition is almost everything, may be it sounds weird but sadly it's true. Thanks a lot!!!

time heals the past... but leaves a scar to it... your parents maybe afraid that whatever happened in the past may happen in the future... (de'javu?) \nthe man should prove his worth for your sister... \ni dont know what you beliefs are, but i guess, you could help explaining to your parents that age doesn't really matter when it comes to love... that your sister loves him, and that he's changed already (but sometimes, parents are really hard-headed, coz they believe what their intuition says)\nas long as the man shows that he's really changed, in time, he'll be accepted in the family... and your parents would love him more than what we think... \nYOUR WORK/DOINGS KEEPS YOUR WORTH, whatever he's doin' that will be noticed, and be graded... (by your parents/people from afar but knows whats' his doin)


My brother-in-law is crazy. Really. He is on crack, won't work and can't take care of himself. His parents always did all they could to keep him off the streets and out of jail, but they both died seveal months ago. Since then, his mental state has deteriorated to the point that his siblings cannot handle the situation any longer. They are all at wits end wondering what to do.This man cares about nothing and no one but himself and his own immediate gratification. He is a verbally abusive, manipulative idiot. What can his family do? How do they get started?

Unfortunately, ever since Govenor then President Reagon opened up the care institutions and put the patients on the street (homeless), America seems to be willing to let the crazies walk around until they kill someone or die themselves.  If your family has money and can pay for it, they can go through the process of having him institutionalized.


I'm am trying to find information on when the driver's licence came into being. The only thing that I have found is that it began in the U.S. in New York State in 1910. I am trying to research the origin in Washington State specifically. Any help or direction to a Web site would be appreciated. Thank you very much....Mitch

"France and Germany were among the earliest countries to require mandatory driver licensing, right at the start of the 20th century. As automobile-related fatalities soared in North America, public outcry provoked legislators to begin studying the French and German statutes as models[4].\n\nOn August 1, 1910, North America's first driver licensing law went into effect in the U.S. state of New York, though it initially applied only to professional chauffeurs [5]. In July of 1913, the state of New Jersey became the first to require all drivers to pass a mandatory examination before receiving a license [6]."


what are you refering to, like what that girl did on that commercial. if so i think not that was very disturbing\nto the eyes,on the other hand bendy as in doin the Tango\nI find very appealing. JuJu


ie: if it injected into the venous sys, then ist understandable but most of the times it is just inserted into the skin. so after the contents are emptied into the skin the where next?

IntraVenous - you know\n\nIntraMuscular - goes thru capillaries, to venules to veins\n\nSubCutaneous (Under the Skin) - typically for Rabies (dog bite); the injection would be given under the skin above the muscle. It is intended to get to go through your capillaries. But without getting very hot (intra body temperature is more) so the virus doesnt die.\n\nIntraArterial: Rarely used; intended to go to a particular part of the body. Like a feet infection.\n\nIntraCardiac: Adrenaline in Heart attacks.


Of course, there's a cover up.  There's not only a face, but there's a whole complex of ancient structures in the area.  They even have a pyramid.  Laugh now, but just wait until we colonize the place!


i always feel like i will not get numbed enough from bad experinces when i was a child during a root canal and i really dont like all the tools and stuff so please help me!!

First make an appointment to go in and talk to the dentist about your fears.  Have him prescribe you a sedative to take prior to the visit such as valium.  During the visit have nitrous oxide administered to relax you even more.  Take along a cd player with you and listen to your favorite tunes while getting your dental work done.  Also, ask around and find a good dentist that has an excellent bedside manner and who is gentle.


i would like to knoe the difference between treasury bonds and mutual bonds,which one has better returns and which is safest to undertake?

There is no such thing as a mutual bond.  I think you mean municipal bond, which is issued by either a state or local government to raise funds for a variety of thing (build a school, fix a highway...) Most of the time a municipal bonds interest is tax free so when comparing it to corporate bond or something remember that you will not pay taxes on the interest of a municipal bond.  \nA treasury bond is issued by a federal government and is the origin of our nation debt.  Usually, a t-bill pays a little less interest than a municiple bond because the odds of the government defalting is less than a state or local government.   However, the odds of either one defalting is extremely low.

-Would our kids have to be Catholic?\n-Would we have to go to "Catholic" pre-marital counseling?\n-What type of ceremony could we have?\n-Has anyone else dealt with the same scenario? (If so, how did you handle it?)

If you want to get married in a catholic church, you will be given all kinds of "conditions" and have to jump through all kinds of hoops to satisfy the priest.  Even after you jump through all the hoops, he might refuse to let you actually walk up the aisle, you might have to stand at the back of the church and get married there.  And the priest also might look and see how much your fiance has donated, and if it is not enough, he might still might not do the ceremony until your fiance satisfies his greed.\n\nUpdate to david_in_mil...:  My brother was one of the people I know that went through it.  He and his wife did all the nonsense the priest demanded, then he told them he would not marry them because he looked at the ledger, and saw no donations from him or his wife.  When they explained that she did not like using envelopes and simply put the money in the collection basket, he said she had no proof, and until they met his price, no wedding.  They went to an Episcopal church and were married there - no nonsense, no problems.


I have those annoying WinFixer Popups, and i want to get rid of them, along with some other popups (bad ones), and i also want to rid myself of the Blackberrry virus, which i am continually told has breached my computer. Windows Security center has told me that my computer has been breached and private information is being sent. It offers downloads like WinAntiVirus PRO. Are these really to remove viruses, or are they themselves just pieces of more spyware. I also believe i have a virus, because when i run Adaware SE,it always runs into one critical file in the first 60 or so seconds, and then my computer will basically go into classic mode, with a whitish colored taskbar at the bottom, and finally the computer will shut down. i cannot remove the virus with Adaware, since it shuts my computer down first. please give me some advice, especially if it solves both antivirus and popup issues, and please do not suggest Google Toolbar for popups, as i dont think it'll be able to remove these.

Howdy\n\nI have two free spyware removal programs.  I've tried both and each of them work just as good for me!\n\n- Adaware Personal Edition - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n- Spybot: Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\nI have a few Free Antivirus programs I can reccomend to you.. I have tried all of the following and liked them! :O)\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/ avast!\nhttp://www.free-av.com/ AntiVir HBEDV\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ AVG Free Edition\n\nAlso, if your willing to experiment (this product as of now is still in testing)\nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/ Windows OneCare Beta\n\nIf your fine with forking over a couple bucks, I have another solution -- I am VERY satisfied with the current version of Norton Systemworks. (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/internet_security/nav2006/index.html ). This program is worth every cent, you won't be sorry!\n\nIf you would like to use Norton Antivirus for Free, along with many other tools (Adaware Personal Edition, for deleting spyware) it IS that is possible... You will have to download it through the google pack, which URL is provided here:\nhttp://pack.google.com/\n\nAlso, Check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider).  They are the people that connect you to the internet.  Sometimes your ISP can provide your with AntiVirus for free. (Netzero, AOL, comcast, etc, do.) :O)

Example, if you went to the doctor and they said they needed a blood sample and you said no, would they restrain you and take your blood anyways, or what would they do?

If the doctor felt that you were incompetent, I think he would have to follow legal procedures to have that proven in court or verified by your guardian.  Then, I believe the doctor could approach it as medically necessary and get a court order to do the procedure...  That would involve social services, the courts, appointing a guardian, and who knows what all else.   It’s pretty doubtful that a doctor would do this.  Maybe a hospital or trauma center, but not likely a doctor.\n\nIf the doctor forced you to have a test that you refused, I believe you could bring him up on charges of malpractice and harassment.\n\nI hope that sort of worry isn't keeping you from going to the doctor.  And don't ever feel trapped into tests that you don't agree with.  A doctor did that once by telling me that my son would die if he didn't have a certain test.  I knew inside that made NO SENSE.  But, I was so sure he would do something awful that I agreed.  Later, the doctor was dismissed for something else.  You are the one who has the authority to decide what happens in your medical treatment.  Remember that!  And go for the check up.


I have read your article, Schneb, about Getting Past the Guard.  I think it describes Christian views pretty well.  But my question which remains is, is there really a guard?  If you can get to know Jesus without getting past a guard to get to him, then why can you not know God the same way?  Is God really so inaccessible?  Does God really not know you unless you know his Son?  How come Jesus can know everyone, and God can't?  I hope you understand my question.  \nhttp://www.schneblin.com/studies/pdfs/getting_past_the_guard.pdf

Heeeww, alot of opinions. But just like the Bible, only the author's interpretation is the correct one. ;)\n\nFor those who stumble at the thought of comparing God to man... it is just a parable or analogy. After all, did not Jesus do this with the prodigal son? Or was He blowing it as well?\n\nOK, Heron, here is the skinny. The guard is that which blocks personal fellowship with God. I can describe it no better than Isaiah did in chapter 59...\n\nBehold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.\n\nSo to all of those commenting above, yes, God is capable of hearing all who call. But if there is sin in your life, it will cause a seperation. Eliminate the sin barrier, and you have instant access. This is why we needed a Savior.\n\nSo, what my study says is that we need a mediator, someone to go before us and grant us access. Job lamented that he had no such mediator to go before him to a holy God (see Job 9) It says in 1 Timothy 2:5\n\nFor there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.\n\nSo, we accept Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sin. Through His blood we are made clean, thus eliminating the "guard" and granting us access. Now we can speak to God, not as some fearful omnipotent Creator, but as our Father in heaven. As we get to know and love Him, we realize through the promises in the Bible that we have been adopted as sons and daughters wherein we can cry out, "Abba!"\n\nThis point was so important for me to teach my kids, that while they were growing up, they learned to call me Abba instead of Dad. Because I want them to know that when they read this promise in the Bible, they will know immediately what it means.\n\nRomans 8:15\nFor you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”\n\nGalatians 4:6\nAnd because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”\n\nThe whole point of "Getting Past the Guard" was to put in earthly terms a parable about the eternal realm. It is not an easy task, but it has caused at least a few people to come to know Jesus as Savior. And for that I am thankful and all the angels in heaven rejoice.


Was it because Hitler .. the Nazi chief hated the Jewish ppl.\n\nif so .. W H Y ?? \n\nTHE JEWS ARE THE ROOTS OF EVIL IN THIS WORLD\n((A.G.Hitler))\n\nI wonder why did Hitler said that .. there must be a very good reason .. don't u think so??

Jews weren't the only ones, there were plenty of others killed by the nazis in their quest for world domination and the perfect race.  But the jewish people were predominatly the ones that were victimized and had the largest numbers killed.  The why is simple, hatred of something they didn't understand and scapegoating a race of people just so they could have someone to blame for germanys ills.

Cold climates included Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Jersey (Where both New York Giants and Jets play), Buffalo, Foxborough (where the New England Patriots play), Kansas City, Seattle, and Landover, MD (where the Washington Redskins play).

I do think the Super Bowl should be played outside in cold climates. I love the fact that the weather can be a part of the game and I wish the NFL would give Northern teams without domes a chance to host the Super Bowl. I don't believe that playing in the cold (or snow) is an unfair disadvantage to Southern teams. Players for southern college teams travel north to play during the regular season and in bowl games, so they have experience playing in the cold. And quite a few NFL players went to college or grew up in the north, so they're used to the cold.


Is the United States really a free country? Do the laws seem fair? Can we say what we want (even if it's harmful)? Do age limits on certain things, such as alcohol, driver's license, voting, buying a house, getting a job .etc really seem fair? What do you think?

No, if it was free then when a muslum,minanite ect. lady walks down the street wearing her head covering she would'nt get stares or racial slures . Or the church bells would not be the only anounment of religous practice (calling the adthan call of prayer by the muslums ) would be alloud . Then Friday would be a religous Holiday just like Saturday and sunday is due to the fact that Friday is the holy day for  muslums . Also the books written about how the Jews are killing muslum/chirstians in Palastine would not be taken off shelves in book stores . The list goes on and on .


My brother-in-law was complaining last month, it seems his practice out in CO lost their radiology tech to someone else, he was offered a crazy salary. I was told it was because he knew how to perform/read sonograms AND keep the equipment/software/hard drives maintained. I thought the money was only about 1/2 of what he was offered (mid six figs). I know the guy didn't have his MD...answers?

Actually, even though it sounds far fetched, it is possible. Radiology Tech is a fairly hot field. A few years ago, I was doing a rotation at UCSF. A friend I knew from before med school was working there as a Rad Tech. He was making approx. $35/hour, had his apartment paid for and took home close to $900/month food allowance. He also took extra shifts across the Bay in Oakland for $50/hour. He explained to me that ultrasound techs make much more. His probaly isn't the average situation for most Rad Techs, but an example of what is possible. One caveat, he was a "traveler"--taking short term positions. If you are good, it can be a fairly nice lifestyle. As far as the 6 figures? Who knows? I'm sure this isn't what they make starting out or at public hospitals.


All I know is they lowered their RAM and Flash memory by half and didnt tell anyone.  Who knew they had a version 5 of their router or a version 4 or 3 or 2 or 1.  Whats the deal, I thought versions were supposed to be an improvement over the last?\n  \nBTW I just bought a version 5, and afterwords found out about 3rd party firmware.  But I cant install it cause the flash memory needs to be at least 4MB, and the firmware changed from linux which was openware to Vxworks which doesnt allow changes.  Why do I care?  Cause these routers had rave reviews on how well they handled file sharing programs but the only catch was you needed 3rd party firmware.  \n\nOne more thought, never pay for 3rd party firmware.  They are supposed to be open source which means free.  Best ones out, in my opinion, are HyperWRT versions by Tofu and Thibor \n\nSource:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nBest answer gets 10 free points by me.  Enjoy.

They changed them because they were cutting into Cisco's more expensive router line. People were buying them and upgrading the firmware and with that, the routers capabilities,negating the need to buy more expensive routers.


I would like to know the chemical structure of Titanium which makes it becomes so strong, hard, and light weight? How could it be like that?

It is just from the way that the elements are fused together to form the compound. It's the same as any other metal.


this is for my precalculus class and i need an explaination on what the horizontal translation of tangent.  more specifically how do you know when it moves horizontally and which way.

I am not sure what you mean. I assume you mean what is tan(x+a)=sin(x+a)/cos(x+a)\n=[sin(a)cos(x)+sin(x)cos(a)] / [cos(x)cos(a)-sin(x)sin(a)]\n=[tan(a)+tan(x)] / [1-tan(x)tan(a)]\n\nSo tan(x), if the argument x is translated by a, becomes this expression.


I have a presentation to do and I need to tell my class what they should do to stay on topic.  I need to possibly give them some internet sites that can help.  This presentation must be in class and I need to make myself clear.

Stay on Top-ic\nHow would you like to prepare a presentation in half the time and with better results? Do you think this is possible?\n\nIt's all a question of getting organized, even for a one page paper, or a 10 minute presentation. There is a basic technique which works well for the preparation of many presentations, reports or articles:\n\nChoice of topic, brainstorming, research on the Internet and in libraries etc., sorting, table of contents with chapter headings; key words for the chapters; writing the chapters; conclusion; thinking of more interesting headings or a better title. \n\nThis principle is valid for the preparation of both, spoken and written presentations.\n\n1 The Topic\nFirst you need a topic. If the topic is not given, you can use a working topic at first and find a more attractive one later, e.g., working topic,  How One Can Use a Towel.\n\n2 Brainstorming and Research\nWrite down all ideas for the topic which come to your mind, without judging them. Have fun with it, be inventive, creative, even silly. E.g. for drying skin, body, ink; for making a sun roof; for cleaning the floor, the car, the sofa; for carrying laundry or other things in it; for playing a trick on the teacher; for making a jacket; for filtering water, etc. Research all possible sources, make notes.\n\n3 Sort\nSort out the ideas from your research notes and your brainstorming you want to consider, e.g. drying things; carrying things etc. You may not want "playing a trick on the teacher." You may want to limit your ideas to very few examples, if you want to write a brief report or article.\n\n4 Make a Table of Contents\nThe general order is:\nA Introduction, \nB Main chapters or main paragraphs,\nC Conclusions. \n\nNote down in key words the thoughts, ideas and facts you want to place in each section of the table of contents. This helps you to avoid unnecessary repetitions. Do not start to write the introduction or the chapters, before you have the table of contents.\n\nExample: I once saw a book with excellent material, but the writer had not made a table of contents before he started writing. The result was that he repeated the same thoughts in different words all over his book, which is boring to the reader. To repair the repetitions, when the book is done, is hard, hard work and sometimes impossible. It is much easier and better to do the table of contents and then start writing. When writing books, the table of contents may sometimes change in sequence while writing the chapters.\n\n5 Introduction\nE.g. ask a thought provoking question as introduction for a report: Is a towel merely good for drying the skin? Yet, do not give the real answer here, but later. Or give a funny answer. \n\nOr state a problem you have come across, e.g.: There are people having too many towels, these could serve others, who need them, in many ways. \n\nIn the introduction, you have to get the attention of your audience or readers! Be thought provoking, funny or original: Today, I wanted to tell you about my towel I wore on my head (everybody may wonder what this is all about).\n\n6 Main Chapters or Main Paragraphs, Headings\nChapter 1 - Towels in the House\nChapter 2 - Towels on the Beach\nChapter 3 - Towels on Boats\nChapter 4 - Towels in Space Crafts\netc. \nE.g. you want to cover the towel colors in Chapter 2, the quality of towels in Chapter 3, and the size of towels in Chapter 4, instead of a more tiring approach to cover all three thoughts in every chapter.\n\nRethink Topic\nIn the end, you may sometimes want to formulate the headings for these chapters or paragraphs with more variations. Instead of saying "Towels in....," "Towels on....," you may say, "Beach Towels," or, "Is there Space for Towels in Space Crafts?"\n\n7 Conclusions\nHere you summarize what you found and elaborate on it, or you state what you feel is further interesting, e.g. the space for towels in space crafts, if you have not


This boy really likes me.  But I hate him because he picks his nose.  He even wiped his finger on my math book!  I am not allowed to be unkind but I literally HATE him.  How should I tell him how much I despise him without passing a note or telling him?  He dosen't even have an e-mail address.

This is a tough one; hurting someone's feelings is not easy, but just say "hey, you, nose picker, 'you and me' not gonna happen".


i have this huge project on volcanoes and i need to know just one thing what happends when the volcano erupts is it a chemical reaction i dont know thats why i need your help?

Yes,mixing two or more items together will creat a chemical reaction with alot of different substances. I suggest you read up on what your mixing toghether. Your involed with substacnces that could help creat a recipe for a bomb. I suggest you go back to the kitchen and make a new creation by trying some of your cooking skills until your sure of what your mixing together.


i don't know if he's playing with me or not he says he loves me and i love him but i don't know....he defended me when his dad called me a loser, but idk

There are a lot of ways you cant tell if he does love you. If he has toled you he loves you then it is probably true. Knowing that he still stands by you even if his family dislikes you is another good sign, but there are a lot of other things too. Someone you love should also be your best friend. Can you trust him? can you talk to him about anything? Does he come to you with his problems? Does he let you hangout with him in front of his friends? Do you suspect hes trying to hide anything from you? If he really loves you then he'll show it, and you'll know for sure. If you have any doubts or questions about his actions or love for you then you can also talk to him about it. If he loves you and you love him you should be able to talk to him aboout anything, even this.
