hi, i will have to do a book report on "a beautiful mind"\nand i need information on background of book and also \nwhat the time period has to do with the book.

A Beautiful Mind is a book and Academy Award-winning film about the Nobel Prize (Economics) winning mathematician John Nash and his experiences of schizophrenia. The biography, written by Sylvia Nasar, was published in 1998. The movie, inspired by the biography of the same name, was released in 2001.\n\n\nPlot\nAs the story unfolds, Nash is able to work through his illness to (in his words) "matter" in the world. This film is essentially a story of how a brilliant man was able to live with the vicissitudes of a debilitating mental illness to attain a true sense of accomplishment, or some would say, even a sense of greatness.\n\nAt the beginning of the film/book, John Nash arrives as a new graduate student at Princeton University. He is a recipient of the prestigious Carnegie Prize for mathematics. He meets his roommate Charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. He also meets a group of other promising math and science graduate students, Martin Hansen, Sol, and Bender, with whom he strikes up an awkward friendship.\n\nThe first part of the film establishes Nash's intellectual stamina and his propensity to be too outspoken in his social life. He admits that he is better with numbers than people, saying, "I don't like them much, and they don't much like me." He sometimes goes out to a bar with his fellow students to try to meet women, but is always unsuccessful. However, the experience is what ultimately inspires his fruitful work in the concept of governing dynamics, a theory in mathematical economics.\n\nAfter the conclusion of Nash's studies as a student at Princeton, he accepts a prestigious appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), along with his friends Sol and Bender. It is while at this post that he meets Alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.\n\nWhile at Princeton, Nash runs into his former roommate Charles and meets Charles's young niece Marcee. He also encounters a mysterious Department of Defense agent, William Parcher. Nash is invited to a United States Department of Defense facility (The Pentagon) to crack a complex encryption of an enemy telecommunication. Nash is able to decipher the code mentally. Parcher observes Nash's performance from above, while partially concealed behind a screen. (His general appearance and behaviour is similar to that of the so-called Men in Black.) Parcher later encourages Nash to look for patterns in magazines and newspapers, ostensibly to thwart a Soviet plot. Nash becomes increasingly paranoid and begins to behave erratically.\n\nAfter observing this erratic behavior, Sol follows Nash during one of his late night drops of "top secret Soviet codes". Sol sees Nash place the documents into a drop-box at a long empty building, and reports this behaviour to Nash's superiors. He is forcibly sedated and sent to a psychiatric facility. Initially, Nash's internment seemed like confirmation of his belief that the Soviets were trying to extract information from him, and that getting picked up by the officials of that psychiatric facility was a kidnapping by Soviet agents.\n\nAlicia, desperate to help her husband, visits the drop-box and retrieves the never-opened "top secret" documents that Nash delivered there. When confronted with this evidence, Nash is finally convinced that he has been hallucinating. The Department of Defense agent William Parcher and Nash's secret assignment to decode Soviet messages was in fact all a delusion. Even more surprisingly, Nash's friend Charles and his niece Marcee are also only products of Nash's mind.\n\nNash is released on the condition that he agrees to take antipsychotic medication. However, these drugs create negative side-effects that impact his relationship with his wife and, most dramatically, his intellect. Frustrated, Nash secretly stops taking his medication, triggering a relapse of his psychosis


ok, so im going to this program in the summer where we're gonna have to stay in ucla dorms.i know the bathrooms are public, but what does that mean? can someone plz describe to me what its like? thanxxx

Public bath room means that you share the bathroom between alot of rooms. Mostly it is one Bathroom with alot of showers and one complete floor share it togther. Mostly it is seprate for Male and female


that is what really does my head in, you say i might be like those at waco. my beliefs DO NOT mean im crazy or that ill end up killing lots of people and for you to say that shows me that you are just as sad as those who dogo to the extreme. my issues happen after death and my judgment on those who kill are resolved. at that time. So stop trying to put me in the same boat as those LOOSERS, no wonder i keep my mouth shut when there are "people" like you saying things like that,its you that makes me sick ( i bet you are a bible thumper)

I don't know what this is all about, but believe what you want. It's your right! As long as you don't push your beliefs on someone else then by all means think as you wish. It's really not anyone else's business!


plz rank 3 countries: 1st is the most aggressive etc.

The USA is not aggressive.  We are passive resistant.  We have, since the Revolution, never started a war and only reluctantly, entered into the ones we were in.  \n\nNO we did not start the war in Iraq.  When your neighbor is beating his wife, you do not start a fight by stopping it.\n\nI sincerely hope you all forget to vote.


It can be any language. Actually it can be other words for luck or lucky in general also.

I did an (Insert Search engine here) seach it the greek goddess of luck is Tyche


you mean uptight as in killing a kid with a shotgun for walking on your stupid lawn?


Ive been looking into running my own server, I havent got it working on my home network yet but ive been reading that to publish your web sites from your own server, you have to have to register a URL through a DNS service which basically just references a name to your static IP of your server to direct people to your web site.\n\n  Well I was wandering if there were a way to have your own DNS service running on your server that can allow people to search for your web site or server through search engines or connect to your server/web site with the URL of which maybe a program can monitor your dynamic IP and have it associated to your static URL constantly. I cant see why something similar to this cant be possible but maybe someone can enlighten me, thanks.

You're not really asking the right question - but I understand what you're looking for. You don't want to run your own DNS server. You want a service to host dynamic DNS for your home IP, thus assigning it a permanent name. \n\nYes, there are such services - check out www.dyndns.com. You can create a free account and download a piece of software for your computer. By running that software, you're advertising your current IP address to dyndns.com. They are then taking that information and publishing a DNS entry associating it with a host name of your choosing.\n\nThis is great for a small scale website that you share with your friends. However, if you want something larger that gets a lot of traffic, it is best to put it on a server at your ISP or a web hosting company. Most home Internet connections have a lot of bandwidth for downloading but very little for uploading.


Should I try and get him back or move on for good? We dated for 4 months, things got serious then I found out he was cheating on me. I forgave him, tried to let it go but he kept lying about small things. We finally ended it a little over a month ago, but he still calls at least once a week & will send text messages. When we speak its nothing serious, just the basic how are you, just wanted to check on you sort of deal. I still love him so much and have told him its hard for me to get over him if he keeps calling. I feel like he is doing this to prove a point. I sent him a text message asking does he think of our break up, and he did respond and say he thinks of me/us everyday that we just argued too much. In reality we did, but he did nothing to better the situation, he is the one that cheated not me. I want to be with him, I sent him another text telling him I still love him and wished things were different. I didnt get a response.....Should I move on or keep trying to get him back?

You should move on!! To start with he cheated on you and even after you forgave him which i never understand that but people do he still lied to you about little stuff. This guy you will never be able to trust. You have already given him too much information to play you with. He knows that you still love him and that you think of him all of the time and its hard for you to move on talking to him. So the next time he calls blow his mind. Tell him your fine just been hanging out with friends and even found a guy that caught your eye. I bet that will end that. Dont subject yourself to being hurt again. There is more than one guy out there and you deserve a good one!! Move on and dont look back.


I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time.  Based upon the policies and treatise of the republican party, I do not think so.  What do you think?  (I do not want to hear any bleeding heart liberal remarks.)  Morally, we are obligated to take care of our fellow human beings.  How can the world advance with an everyone for themselves attitude?

My guess is no.  They tend to have a social Darwinistic, sink-or-swim mentality that not unlike the Calvinistic doctrines, justifies the accumulation of wealth.\n\nI tend to see them as selfish and socially irresponsible on average. Its a sort of " I've got mine -screw you " attitude that is so characteristic of the Bush Administration. \n\nGod knows if ever I become rich I may undergo a similar transformation, but I don't think it will happen. \n\nThen you have these crazy, born-again, Talibornagain, Rapture-cult Christians who want to rape and plunder the world because they are going to heaven anyway. \nThose folks are Republicans too. \nI am not pulling any punches here, am I ?


i.e. AGP/PCI/PCIe\nAlso, if it can support 4X/8X, etc.\n\nThanks.

The best thing to do is to identify the model of the motherboard. If you assembled the desktop yourself, you probably already knew it. If you bought it from, say Dell, call them or look up online. Get the specifications and you know exactly what graphic cards it supports.\n\nIf you cannot do it, open the desktop box and look what slot it has for video. You should be able to identify it easily.


BLUE'S CLUES!!!!!! i love steve and blue!! they look so cute together!\n\ni love the songs in it too! and the stuff in the house that talks!\n\ni also love the handy-dandy notebook!


4\n\n5+3 = 8\n\n8/2 = 4\n\nEdit: if you're saying it's tricky, maybe you mean (5+3)/2 IS (5+3)/2 or "five plus three all divided by two (is equal to four)"?


if you know someone is there for you, how would you feel?   is it a nice feeling?   are you positive they will always be there for you?

It's nice. Are you talking about aliens?


He made it sound like we woukld get together  and then calls after work and says he went to a friends, he knew I wasn`t happy about it but I kinda asked him not to nstay all night, but he stayed atleast seven hours,with apperntly no thoughts of me. The next day I called and left messages (3) that I was worried about him and is he ok please callme. He never called. I had to call back later that night and he was home with his kids. We IM for a minute and he said he was sleeping all day. He told me to relax. I don`t think I deserve his attuidude and no phone call either. I only get so much time with him and he spends most of it with his friends. I`m hurt. Am I wrong to feel this way and what should I do. I know his kids come first(he gets them every weekend) but I feel that he puts me beneth his friends and drinking.

Baby...you could do better. I think that he doesn't really love you. If he did, he would do anything and everything to brighten up your day up. Just think about it, is this what you want?


the song that I want to find goes like this:Let this grove teach you to move Its all wright all right oh oh oh oh could you find the artist to the song?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a disorder where you have problems like taking the first item from the store shelf? You would always have to reach in back to get your item or like always double checking to make sure you didnt forget to do something like at the laundry mat you check when you get your clothes out and check again before you leave to make sure you didnt miss anything the first time? Hope you are able to understand what I am saying from the way I have explained it.

First of all, how many times do you look in baskets, or check dryers and washers? People with OCD will do things several times over. Before I started seeing my therapist, I would check the door knob exactly 8  times before I could leave the house to make sure it was locked, I'd check to make sure my car was turned off and the lights were off 8 times before getting out (yeah, even if I didn't use the lights, I still had to make sure they were off), plus lots of other things. It's something that does consume your life because of the rituals you feel you have to perform. You might want to see someone about it. In my case I found a cognitive-behavioral therapist the most helpful because they specialize in OCD.


I’ve been on Yahoo Answers for approximately 2 weeks and I have been shocked and appalled at the spelling and grammar of some of the questions and responses.  I understand that many users are children.  However, how do most adults finish high school without comprehending verb usage, contractions, and punctuation?  Most people should know the difference between they’re/their, your/you’re/ur, and are/our.  I understand that this is a forum and not an English class, but the statements and questions should at least be comprehensible.  Is anyone else bothered by this?

Hi there- being that I have OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder), I can empathize with how you are bothered by the poor grammar and spelling of other users. Actually, it doesn't bother me at all- which is uncanny. Since I am obsessive-compulsive, it seems counter-intuitive that I would not be bothered by people's mistakes in writing. Of course, I make an occasional faux pas myself. I love the English language...poetry, books, etc. But I do understand that there are other people who may not have an affinity for the written word. I believe that in some instances, the individual may be in a rush, and as a result, they are negligent when it comes to constructing their sentences. Some people may be very young people, or may be people who have recently started using the English language, and don't yet have the same proficiency as some native speakers/writers. From that vantage point, I think that many people, even highly intelligent ones, may have some degree of difficulty assimilating. Ostensibly, English is a difficult language to learn for speakers of other languages. There may be mulitiple reasons for this- such as idiomatic expressions, sarcasm, internet/chat terminology, et cetera. \n\nAt all events, I do understand your concern. I have heard of people with OCD who are greatly perturbed by poor grammar, or using incorrect numbers, and so forth. It stands to reason that there are people who do not have OCD who will also have this sort of pet peeve. I used to correct people when they failed to speak properly- for example, if someone were to say "Where is the car at"? I would chastise them for using a preposition at the end of a sentence. I don't know what aspects about me have changed since that time, but I don't normally try to correct people anymore. Please be assured that there are still people out here that love proper writing, as I am one of them. :)


I am 5'3 1/2 a weigh 150, and wear a size 10. Is that ok?


I was recently in the southern U.S. and this visit renews my interest in the U.S. Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression as it is sometimes referred to in the South).   I am familiar with the term "Mason-Dixson Line" and know that it was a border b/w the Union and Confederate lines, but want to know more than that.   If you can enlighten me, please do.

It was an imaginary line that seperated the North from the South. Do a google search on the information you're lokking for.

The problem here when I meet lady which I feel I like her I dont know how to approach her.I need a guidlines on approaching lady whom you dont know before when meet her for the first time.

Dude, You've already met her.  What are you worried about?  Ask her out.  If she says yes...great.  If she says no...move on with your life.  You don't want to spend weeks on end trying to get up the nerve and then watch her walk away with another man before you do ask her out.\n\nJust do it!


I am trying to setup an advanced firewall/DMZ system using SuSE YaST.


There are two methods of solving this question.  One method is applying using the calculus, and other method is using Coordinate geometry.  Since u have not mentioned a particular method, easier way is applying the Calculus.\n\nLet (x1, y1) be a point on the curve.\nDifferentiating the given equation to find the slope of the tagent at (x1, y1), we get\ndy/dx = 6x -5\nAt (x1,y1) dy/dx = 6x1-5\n\nGive condition is the slope of the normal at this pt is = 2\nSo the slope of the tangent = -1/2\n\nTherefore, 6x1 - 5 = -1/2 which leads to x1 = 3/4\nSubstituting this value in the given equation we get,\ny1 = 3.(3/4)^2 - 5.(3/4)+1 \nThat is y1 = -17/16\n\nAs asked the abscissa is 3/4

Or a bigger one? A close person to me has turned into a Jesus Freak and is totally becoming unbearable and intolerant. It's to the point where I can't even yell "Jesus Christ" around him without an extreme argument. He gets really paranoid on Sundays, watches this Christian channel all day and all that. This is someone that refused to even go to church with me when I was younger. I'm really starting to hate this crap and I have become an unapologetic atheist. Nothing makes you an unbeliever more than a fanatic. The funniest thing is, this guy alienates more people than he anything, and it's a shame. Any pathetic Jesus Freak stories you guys can share?

so called Jesus freaks are not Christlike don't blame him


I am wondering can people learn to sing are ever improve there singing are is it just something someone is born with?

You can take lessons to develop your voice in terms of range and projection.  But one also needs an "ear" for music to be able to hear when they are on key and in rhythm with the music, and I don't believe that can be taught.  And of course there's the issue of stage presence that is crucial for success in the performing arts.

I have been divorced for the past 5 years and have two children with my ex that are now 9 and 6.  The girls have a half brother with their father who is almost 2.  They like seeing their brother, but hate going to their dad's house.  Their father was sent to prison after our divorce due to drugs.  As far as I know, he is clean now, but not sure.  He has not paid child support for over 90% of the time that we have been divorced and all the court keeps telling him is to get a job.  There is never anything else the court does.  I can't get his taxes because he isn't working.  I have a great boyfriend who loves the girls very much, but we are not married.  Therefore he can not adopt the children.  We are going to be moving in with my boyfriend within the next 2-3 months in a town about 40-50 minutes from their father.  What can I do to make life easier and happier for all of us involved in this situation? My oldest daughter has asked since the divorce (she was 4) to change her last name.

I'm sorry that you are in such a difficult situation. However, you may be able to improve it. First you will need to contact the State or local BAR association and ask them to recommend a good lawyer that will either work for free (pro bono) or at reduced rate. Explore you options with your lawyer including cutting your ex completely out of your lives. Once done, the lawyer probably will be able figure how your boyfriend can share custody or adopt your girls. Good luck.


has your sex life calmed down after getting married? i know mine did just wondered who else was in my shoes

Someone in the relationship has to at least try and keep it interesting.  You want excitement?  Get excited.  Get out of the rutine.  Surprise him.  The bedroom isn't the only place for sex.  How about a quickie in places where the possibilities of getting caught are 7 in 10?  \nCome on use your imagination and read Cosmopolitan there's a lot of really good stuff in that magazine.  Trust me.\nGood luck!


With the upcoming UFC (USA vs. Canada) does anyone have any predictions on how the following fights will turn out.\n\nFranklin Vs. Loiseau\nGeorges St. Pierre Vs. BJ Penn\nNate Marquardt Vs. Joe Doerksen\nSwick Vs. Steve Vigneault

UFC is hard to predict.  One punch KO's and quick tap outs make it tough to predict.  Franklin VS. Loiseau I would have to say Franklin because of the skill but Loiseau can knock him out at any moment.  BJ Penn is having a tough come back fight.  I am picking BJ Penn just because I am a big fan.  He looks in good shape but if he gases out St Pierre will eat him alive.

we have children and the hardest part it is a ex best friend!

Hey I don't really have advice for you as you know from answering my question I have marital problems. BUT.... We did get this book called Rekindling the Romance by a husband and wife team Dennis and Barbara Rainy. It's a real eye opener it is Christian based and I 100% am a believer that the only way to be truly happy in all areas of your lfe is to live by the Bible. Do what it says. Go to church live your life for God. The problem my hubby and I had with this book is how to rekindle something that was never there? I was or I think in love with him at one time but he was always an a** and finally I just decided to deal with now he's different and he regrets everything he has done. Maybe you can help with this one. How do I get over the past? I know I need to get my life right with God that would help 100%. But anyways I am rambling Hope this helps. The link I am gonna leave is the website where you can get this book Click on online store and do a search for the title. I also encourage you check out the info they have I don't know where you live but you should see if they have their radio station near you it really helps me!


All aspects of quantum mechanics fascinate me, but I’m not mathematically inclined. So, I’m looking for something else along the lines of Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe to explain recent ideas and theories.\n\nSort of a physics book for the non-physicist, if that makes any sense….

Laney, first of all allow me to say that I'm incredibly glad and pleasantly surprised to hear of your genuine interest in this field.   You are to be truly commended for your intellectual courage and abilities.  ...But to address your question, there are in fact thousands of great explanatory/layman-type books out there on Quantum Mechanics, Field Theory, Gravity, Philosophy, Reality, and associated topics like cosmology, etc.  Some of them even dating back to the mid 70's, that nonetheless are still wonderful reads.  ...Theoretical physics at the level that we are talking about here, though, is unfortunately a seven-headed exotic mathematical monster that is not even accessible to most physicists, much less the lay person.   Having said that, and as you know, there have been courageous attempts by talented physicist like Brain Greene (and many others before and after him) to make our latest theoretical/scientific visions of the physical world/universe available to the general public.   ...Since you mentioned that you are NOT mathematically inclined, but did enjoy Greene's The Elegant Universe, the first thing that came to my mind (and the book that I would recommend most) was in fact Greene's newer work called "The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality" - in case you haven't read it yet.    \n\nAmong some of the other more recent titles worth mentioning also are:\n\nThe Great Beyond - by: Paul Halpener (A very nice book)\n\nThe Cosmic Landscape - by: Leonard Susskind\n\nHiding in the Mirror - by: Lawrence M. Krauss\n\nThe Road to Reality - by: Rofer Penrose\n\nA First Course in String Theory - by: Barton Zwiebach (This is a very nice book but a lil' more mathematically oriented than you might enjoy - let's say undergraduate physics level) \n\nI also highly recommend:  The Five Ages of the Universe - by: Fred Adams\n\nThat should keep you busy for a while - Good Reading!  ;-)

Is there anything i can do to get in shape for Fastpitch? The season starts in 2 months and i want to be ready to play when it does. Any suggestions?

Im the same do the basics,anotther good thing to do is practice your bat swing,im talkin about bat speed,knowing what each pitch looks like,train your eye to pick up the ball mid way between you and the pitcher,make sure your timing is right,dont over step with your lead foot its all in your hips anyway,my coach taught us to place your toe to the cornner of the plate and then bring your toe to where the back of your foot is so you can make contact on any pitch,(on and inside pitch your going to turn your hips sooner making your bat come come closer to you.its the oppsite for and outside pitch your going to wait on the ball and take a slight step inside at the same time swinging your hips to the outside.as for feilding get a good jump on the ball and dont make a catch in an ocward position,get a good angle.


Would you rather our child hide the fact that they smoke pot? Or would you want them to be up front with you about it? Would you be ok with them smoking it, as long as it was not at home, at home? ect...

I would not be okay with my child smoking anything.\nI would want them to be upfront with me about it.\n\nMy grandmother died of oral cancer after years of dipping snuff, so I have an aversion to any tobacco and smoking anything of any sort, even weed.

Is there any way that you can get a 17 year old boy interested in school?? he got 3 f's this period and he was never the best student by no means but 3 F's??? That is tooo much!!!!! HELP!!!

So what does he want to do instead?  Flip hamburgers, maybe?  Or perhaps haul trash to the dump?  Because that's the level at which he will function if he doesn't get at least a high school diploma, and hopefully some sort of education or training beyond that.  At 17, he's old enough to quit if he wants to, and take the consequences himself.  Don't let him live with you if he's not going to either go to school or get a job and pay rent.  Tell him if he wants to make his own decisions, make his own mistakes, that's fine with you, but you don't feel obliged to help him.  Maybe he'll get some sense into his head, and maybe it will have to be knocked in with some bad luck.  But bad luck is all he's preparing himself for!\n\nI'd soften this one way only:  if he's willing to quit and get a job, and pay rent, he should be preparing to take the GED test for a high school equivalency diploma.  It is true, after all, that some high schools are simply not worth a kid's effort.  But he has to be doing something productive, or what's the point?\n\nAnd you can tell him I said so!


Bearing in mind of religious tension in the middle eastern area, the impact on the western population anti war and non antiwar and also is it actually an attempt at denial of responsibility. Serious non ranting answers ony, with at least some attempt of backing your answer up.

Well, that's what he hopes for, to go out of office some day unharmed and untouched by Iraq scandal.\nHe probably will face God's Justice one day, but I hope fervently that he faces trial in this life too.


Even getting to the World Series is tough. Winning is tougher, and a sweep is very difficult. The Cubs will have a hard time making the playoffs unless their pitching gets healthy in a hurry. Good pitching is the best thing you can have in the playoffs, so it's possible they could win it all and sweep the Series. I just don't think their picthing can stay healthy that long.

in addition to that, can anybody suggest a relevant site where i can find info about latest developments and news from press including its various dangers and promises?

you can try to find the latest fournals from Science magazine.


Really want to be a psychiatrist someday!! Need a good college!!

To my knowledge, there are no psychiatry bachelor's degrees. The general path is to study either psychology or pre-med, get into medical school and specialize in psychiatry. For psychology and pre-med I'd recommend a decent state university (so your debt isn't outrageous when you're done). Get very good grades and apply to medical school. UCLA has a fantastic pyschiatry program.

Please answer truthfully.  I really want to know what you think and why you believe the way you do.  Please explain your answer.  Thanks!!

Absolutely.Without question or hesitation.\nOf course,the proof would have to satisfy me.None of this,"because it's in the bible" krap,or "someone had to create all of this".\nSomething actually verifiable by me.\nThat would open up an entirely new set of problems though.\nYou would then have to keep me from killing him.Not an easy task.\nYou see,even if I knew he was there,I wouldn't agree with all of the things that he lets happen to innocent people.He supposedly is all powerful.How can he let a child be molested,or beaten,or burned beyond recognition.How can he let women be raped,or people be tortured?\nHow could he sit there and do nothing while someone wasted away and died a horrible death from some disease?\nPlease don't try to feed me any of your "he gave us free will",or "the devil is responsible" krap.\n\nBOTTOM LINE:\nIf you have the POWER to help,then you have the RESPONSIBILITY to help.\nI am going to Iraq soon.It will by no means be my first OP.I am going to join my brothers and put my life in danger to help these people get the freedom and human rights that we all deserve.I don't do it because I have to.I do it because I have the ability,and therefore,the responsibility to do it.\nI could not agree with your god's complacency.\nI would have alot more respect for him if he grabbed an M4 and SHOWED he cared by doing his part.\nI couldn't let anything terrible happen to MY children if I could stop it.\n\nOmnipotent and doesn't give a sh*t...


what should i do??? i cant have my friends ask him!!

You have to let it out, tell your friends you like him, I'm sure they have ideas to let him notice you, that way, your positive he likes you.\n\nP.S from what I've read from books, I suggest you be yourself.


I know I do :) Who's your favorite for this cycle and why?

I love this show too! I've been a fan of ANTM since the very first season :D  My favorite is Nhenna..she got such a great, strong personality and that killer bod oh my..and I like how she actually cares about the girls in the house - trying to make Jade and Gina get along better by taking them to the shopping sprea..that's really nice of her..because if I was in her shoes..I can't be any more careless about what's going on between any of the girls.


Or thje question can be better pur... tell me all the things you know about NGO.

NGO \nA non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is not part of a government and was not founded by states. NGOs are therefore typically independent of governments. Although the definition can technically include for-profit corporations, the term is generally restricted to social, cultural, legal, and environmental advocacy groups having goals that are primarily noncommercial. NGOs are usually non-profit organizations that gain at least a portion of their funding from private sources.\n\nBecause the label 'NGO' is considered too broad by some, as it might cover anything that is non-governmental, many NGOs now prefer the term private voluntary organization (PVO) or Private Development Organization (PDO).\n\nA 1995 UN report on global governance estimated that there are nearly 29,000 international NGOs. National numbers are even higher: The United States has an estimated 2 million NGOs, most of them formed in the past 30 years. Russia has 65,000 NGOs. India has 2 million NGOs. Dozens are created daily. In Kenya alone, some 240 NGOs come into existence every year.


Can that recording be used against the person who had no knowledge?

NJ is a one party state.  but I think you both need to be in the same state or make sure the other person is also in a one party state.


is it possible to have like in the fullerene C60 different atoms instead of Carbon,cause if it is possible,then it is also inevitable to get different properties of these materials.

im highly sceptical on that, because the bond angle of carbon is different from other chemicals, but if one was to be formed, i would imagine silicone or germanium would form it, although, silicone forms stronger bonds, which cant bend that easily, I THINK... not perticularly true... just an assumption on my part


Hello All,\nMy Daughter's 8th Grade Science Fair is approaching fast and WE NEED HELP.\nWe Built a Leyden Jar using a 5 Gallon Bucket Covered outside with aluminum foil, filled with salt water, with a large "Heineken Keg" beer can (4" diameter) as the center electrode, and a 2" oval brass cabinet knob soldered to soft 1/4 inch copper pipe as the electrode connecting to the outside. A piece of copper pipe inserted into the center electrode is immersed in the salt water. Spark Gap spacing is about 1/4"\nWe have kept everything as smooth as possible to reduce bleed-off points.\n\nWe tried charging it by using 3 foot lengths of pvc pipe rubbed with wool socks, to no avail. When we charged it using a piece of aluminum foil taped to our 25" TV, we initially got a couple juicy sparks, but then nothing.\nIf anything jumps out that we are doing wrong, I would appreciate input. Also any ideas about building a better static generator??\nCan I use my X-wifes Barry Manalow records or should I save them for the skeet range?\nThe Science fair is on the 30th....HELP!!!\n\nSigned Mike AKA Dad

visir www.thebaklen.org, www.alaska.net\n\nFEW POINTS ON BUILDING LEYDEN JARS:\n\n1. Avoid making sharp points or edges anywhere on (the metal parts of) your jar because they will leak charge. For example, a cap nut screwed on to a screw is better than a bare screw, but a ball attached to a smooth metal rod is better than either. Creases and wrinkles in the foil, and poorly cut edges on the foil can be a major leakage source. 2. I would also suggest not attaching any fine tipped pickups right to the jar. While they collect charge really well, they also leak it really well. I have had no trouble charging jars without collectors on them, just by rubbing a piece of PVC pipe with rabbit fur along the top ball (it doesn't even have to touch). \n3. Use a cylindrical container. You'll find that the foil is easier to apply and will have fewer creases. \n4. The fewer seams in your foil the better. \nLeave plenty of space at the top of the jar without foil (about a third of the total height). If the metal is too close to the top the jar will "spark over," meaning that a spark will jump over the edge of the container before it is fully charged. \n5. Don't forget that the outside of the container needs to be grounded some how while it is being charged. \n6. The container must be made of a dielectric. Forget wood, and even most ceramics. Anything that can absorb moisture is out. Plastic is so easy to come by I almost didn't mention this one. You should also know that some plastics will work better than others. \n7. Try to use a container that is free of blemishes, scratches, or gouges. Even though a thinner container is generally better, a spark can "puncture" the dielectric if it is too thin for the voltage being applied. This will happen at weak spots in the container. \n8. Tightly glue or attach your foil to the jar's surface. Air gaps between the foil and the container are a problem. \nDon't get hung up on these "tips," they're here as a reference, not as a set of rules. Play around, have fun, observe, and learn. I've made jars that contradict many of the above suggestions and they do interesting and unusual things. \n9. Don't underestimate the role that humidity plays when generating a frictional charge. In a very humid environment it can seem nearly impossible to get any sparks at all. 10.When things are really dry, however, look out. Having a hair dryer around can help on those muggy days. \n11.Turn out the lights, let your eyes adjust, then play around some more. You'll see things you never knew existed.

I have to write a 5 page paper by tomorrow about this topic and I don't understand exactly what it is asking.  I talked about entrepreneurs starting businesses and opening jobs to more people which helps to stimulate the economy, but I don't think that that really relates to the question.  Can someone help me?

Here is what the question means:\nWhat things to communities of people do to help the members of the community and the community overall?\n\nExamples of things communities do to help themselves:\n- Pass and enforce laws to control community member behavior.\n- Collect taxes and spend them on services for the community\n- Create standards of living via culture, education, tradition or other means.\n\nIf this is the best answer, please rate this the best answer. Thanks.


I have had problems with my back, neck, shoulders, arms and hands hurting, possible tendinitis, could this be why I am feeling some numbness and tingling at the top and back of my head?

Yes, see a doctor or a chiropractor.  Numbness is often a sign of nerve problems, and problems with your neck can bother the nerves.

I have about a 2 year old desktop that i stopped using because of all spyware and viruses it had. I had tool bars, and everything you could think of. At that time I didn't really know of any of that stuff, but now i am fully aware. It doesn't have a internet connection, but i do have a usb flash drive which with i can transfer programs with from my new desktop to the old one. What should i download? What advice do u give me. It is running windows 2000 NT. Only free programs please.

Reformat your hard drive and do a fresh install. It'll be like a new computer when you're done.\nI do a fresh install about every two months, it keeps everything fresh and running fast.


A guy wire of length 50 feet is attached to the ground and to the top of an antenna. The height of the antenna is 10 feet larger than the distance from the base of the antenna to the point where the guy wire is attached to the ground.  What is the height of the antenna.\n\nPlease show your work and explain how you did the problem.  10 points for best answer.

if you draw what the question describes,\nyou will end up with a right angle triangle ( i assume the antenna is standing up straight on the ground) with the antenna as the perpendicular on the ground (base) and the wire as the hypotenuse\n             |\\n             | \\n   (x+10) ft |  \  50 ft\n             |   \\n             |____\\n\n               x ft\n\nif the wire is 50ft in length\nassuming it is fixed 'x' ft away from the foot of the antenna on the ground, then as the question tells you, the length of the antenna is 10ft more than this distance\nso applying the pythagorean theorem\n\n50^2 = x^2 + (10+x)^2\n\nso you end up with\n2500 = x^2 + 100 + x^2 +20x\nor 2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0\nor x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0\n\nsolving the quadratic equation,\n\n(x+40)(x-30)=0\n\nsince x cannot have a negative value, \nwe take x to be 30 ft\n\nantenna is 30 + 10 = 40 ft high


i got in fight with my bf over buying a new car. we planned on putting it under his name and i paying for it. he all of a sudden feels sick. we've been together for over 5 years. he says he loves me a lot, but when i ask about marriage, or moving out together,it's always excusses. he wants to wait "for the right time" as he puts it. his band is getting known and touring this year. so when is it the right time? he's 23 and i'm 21 what's up with him, or am i just being to pushy??? please help. thanks!!!

If you two rally love each other,your relationship will survive the tours. If it does,then you'll be happy and get married eventually.If not,then you have saved yourself a whole lot of trouble.I know that you don't want to hear it,but think about your career,so that if if it doesn't work out,you'll have some thing to fall back on.And don't put sh-t under his name.I mean if he wants to be macho,let him do the manly thing and take on the whole responsibility,sounds to me he wants to take control of the milk without buying the cow.Don't be blinded by love...Now go out and buy yourself a new boat to pull with YOUR new car,and don't put his name on THAT either!!!!


if you owe money and you file an extention as to get more time to get the money can they deny that extention?

When you file an extension, it doesn't give you more time to pay any taxes you owe.  The IRS rules say that you have to pay any money you owe with the request for an extension.\n\nAll the extension does it to give you more time to complete and file your return.\n\nIf you need time to pay what you owe, you should call the IRS **immediately** and arrange a payment plan.  If you wait, you will just have to pay more penalties.\n\nThe number is 1-800-829-1040.


Since flickr is a free domain can I do that without having the persons permission? I dont think it is a copyrighted picture.

On each photo in Flickr is a license.  The default license can be changed to range from use at will to all rights reserved.  Now, if you can't find the person or whatever you may have to ask yourself: "Who's gonna know?"  If that person is in a different country and you don't plan on letting the world know about it, you'll probably get away with it.

He's the national saint of Ireland and the Irish celebrated his feast day on the 17th of March. When the Irish started immgrating during the famine they brought this tradition with them, the first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in New York in the 18th century by Irish soliders in the British military, they wanted to connect with their fellow Irishmen abroad and reconnect to their roots and since then Americans have celebrated this holiday, probably due to the fact that 34 million of them claim Irish descent. This is not an offical holiday in the United States though.

I am currently teaching english in South Korea and I am nearing the end of my contract. Should I go home aka USA to be with my friends who are scattered around the states but who really miss me as I do them and to be without a job for God knows how long or should I stay in SK in a job that I like but with no friends. Korea is okay but I've been here for 3 years. I think it's time to leave but they offered me more money(100 extra) and having a job is good. I keep changing my mind...going back and forth.

Come back home! You have done your time over there. We want you back here, safe and sound. Trust me, there are plenty of kids back here who need to learn how to speak, read and write English.  You should be able to find a job no problem, especially with this excellent work history on your resume.\n\nPlease come home.  I have a feeling that you should follow your gut instinct on this one. The internet is a wonderful tool. Use it now to find a job here in the US to come back to, and that will show you your path!\n\nSee you soon! May the road rise with you and the wind always be at your back.

What are the negatives of the British version of Congress i.e. Parliament. It appears that everyone is well represented in this system-whether you are in the minority or the majority.

I think it's quite the contrary- I think not everyone is represented as well. With the British system of goverment, when one party wins elections, typically, they run the show- they control Parliament, they have the Prime Minister in power, they have all the ministers all in one party (unless it's a coalition government which is rare).\n\nIn the US, for the past 50 years, we've had one branch in charge of congress with the other controling the White House. This has been the case maybe 35 of the past 50 years. With split control, you have more bickering, but also more compromise. Clinton's best years in office happened once the Republicans took over Congress.\n\nIf it seems that there is better representation in British Parliament than in Congress, it only seems that way because there are more parties. True, if you want to get elected to Congress, you have to be one of the two parties, but people within those two parties do have a wide variety of views.

He is just the messenger, Puppet on a string as most bought and sold for politicians, Yes there are people behind the curtain with clout having him sell to the public and we are not buying!But in order to kill,stop,illiminate or change the enemy you must identify the true evil doers "our own ruling class the well entrenched old money power structure! I did not vote for him or his party by the way its not several parties in Washington D.C. it is one party THE MONEY PARTY! Money is what we need control of to remove the enemy!

I agree with you there. I too get tired of the crowd blaming The President...he is killing people...mmm do you see him out with a gun doing that? No.\n\nI think if people had to sit in that position they would have a different view on things but of course it is easier to bitch and lay blame than it is to take a course of action and be productive.

Should I tell my parents ? or all his schoolfriends ?

You most certainly should not tell "all his schoolfriends"!\nMan, even if you really hated your brother, why would you want to set him up for that kind of humilitation & torture? \nIf it bothers you so much, talk to him about it, if he is speaking to you, that is. Your folks probably don't need to know either. Masturbation is a perfectly natural function of the body & humans are not the only ones who do that. What he chooses as stimuli is very personal, as is what he was doing. If you speak to him at all about it, you might just suggest that he be more careful to lock the door before he indulges. Also, you could make a bigger attempt to respect his privacy - but Please, don't tell all his friends - that really would be evil.


what would you do????\nthatS what im going thrEw right now????\n!HELP!\nPLEZZE HELP ME???/

If someone just stops talking to you for no reason then that person was never really a friend in the first place. then to often times we think we haven't offended a person when in fact we have. so to be in the clear ask your friend if he or she has been offended by you or something. that's a start. if that person still ignore you let it go there are more true friends in this world


I am looking for the name of an old movine staring Anne Baxter and John Hoyt. - Thanks!

The Come On (1956) was a crime thriller. \n\nAnne Baxter was Rita and John Hoyt was Harold King, alias Harley Kendrick.\n\nIt also had Sterling Hayden in it.\n\nThey were also both on a TV show called Nero Wolf (1979)

I heard it on TV and I am trying to figure out the word and where it comes from.

What show did you hear this? But yes, spelled vookey (in Canadian) translates to "the famine is beset" (in American) but usually meaning "a person can eat no more".\n\nAge has nothing to do with it, however it is more common with  children as it is easier to pronounce.

Hope that helps.

I have recently launched a brand in india and have a setup a small factory so now i dont know how do i set the pricing of my products i mean ofcourse i just calculate my costs and then add the profit i want from it and thats my cost, but it wont be that simple when we have agents, dealers distributers etc. acctually i need a lot of guidance about other systems as well in manufacturing as well as marketing, sales and branding, where can i get these type of answers from?

There is something you need to figure out,  What is your desired profit margin?  What proce is fair for your product?  Do intend to make your money selling mass quantity or by selling quality.\n\nYou need to price your product to be competitive with other like priducts on the market.  You will need to point out what makes your product better and unique in your marketing stategy.\n\nRemember a product is only worth what the customer will pay, also you have to make a profit or your factory will close.\n\nFind a happy medium.\n\nIf you have any other questions feel free to email me @ abrinegar@yahoo.com

Which state?  You'll have to provide more details than a pair of fragmented sentences if you'd like some substantial help.  I've linked a site that provides some guidance for Santa Clara, California, which may provide at least some general direction for wherever you are and whatever the specifics of your situation are.

rumor has it things will end 2012, but didnt they say that 2000?

There is a galactic alignment happening on December 21, 2012.   Due to precession of the equinoxes, on that day, the sun will appear to come up through the dark area in the center of the Milky Way. The ancient Maya believed that that spot was the center of the universe (and it's pretty close) and considered it the womb of the universe. So when the sun appears to come out of that spot, the sun is being born again. It's a new world. It's not that this world is ending (actually, it's already over), but the new world begins on that day.\nThe date on the Mayan Long Count calendar that day is 13.00.00.00.00 4 Ahau 3 Kankin.\nJohn Major Jenkins wrote an excellent book on the subject called Mayan Cosmogenesis 2012.\nI have a site and a couple of blogs on the Mayan and Aztec calendar and I've written a book called Jaguar Nights (unpublished) on the subject.

I would like to convert my cassettes to CDs. But whatever software I have seen till date is a live - real time recorder. This means, it takes 60 mins to record a 60 mins cassette as it is like a playback recording. \n\nIs there any other faster way to do the recording? maybe using the Fast Forward technique available with the cassette player?

No, there isn't.\n\nWell, I mean in theory you could play the tape at high speed and digitize the sound. Then use some audio manipulation software to slow it down, before you burnt it to a CD. But the quality of the sound would be greatly reduced and I'm sure you'd have a hell of a time adjusting the speed of replay to get it just right.\n\nI doubt it would be worth your time to try.


Shopping online allows people to purchase products that can meet their specific requirements. So it's annoying when you fall in love with a product and are unable to purchase it due to the fact that the website does not sell or ship to people overseas. Products are usually available from other web sites which can make it possible to get the product you want, but some products are not available from other web sites and or those web sites do not sell or ship to people overseas. So I'm wondering if there is a way to get items that wouldn't be normally available to your country through a proxy service? Since I live in Australia, and many products are only sold to people in the US, I know how frustrating it can be. It's obvious to me that I'm not the only one who encounters this problem, and that there is obviously a market for this kind of proxy purchasing service. So is there one that is reliable, trustworthy, and affordable?

I live in Brazil and frequently bump into this situation. I haven't yet used any of the possible solutions and they might be slightly different for people in Australia.\nFirst of all, it's necessary to define what kind of barrier you're bumping into. I know of these:\n1) Credit card billing address is not in the US. The main concern here is credit card fraud. The site is woried that it won't be able to collect/prcecute you if you deny this purchase. If you buy alot, maybe you can open a checking acount in the US and have a credit card linked to it. Also, it seems to me that credit card compannies (Visa and Mastercard) are trying to address this issue and it seems that one solution will be thru the use of debt cards (Electron and Maestro) with enhanced seccurity. In these cases, smaller sites, in which you can acctually ring in and talk to someone might accept money order or some other solution.\n2) Another barrier is that a site might not have international delivery. One thing that might work, and I'm not sure this is what you were calling proxy, is a US address. I've received several e-mails offereing this service, but since I buy mostly books and cd's, I wasn't interested. Basically, you register and receive a US address. When ordering, you enter this address and the sites will ship your orders there. The company offering this virtual address service will then mail it to your real address. The only company I know that does it is LanBox. It is a Lan Chile group company which should qualify it as a reasonably serious company. But it operates only in some Latin American countries (I supose the ones Lan Chile flies to). Its site is at http://www.lanboxusa.com .\nWhat you might want to be aware of in these services is if the companny offering this service is giving you a P.O. box or and actual address. I've seen some sites stating that they do not mail to PO boxes. Also, this service is not cheap. There is a flat fee (or rent if you will) and a cost per order. Plus the delivery cost that the site will charge you.\n3) Finnally, another kind of barrier I've encountered is when attepting to buy a downloadable item like music or films. itunes and Google Videos, for example, do not allow sales to Brazil. I guess there concern here is that the legal system and law enforcement agencies will not do enough to prevent piracy. I think there are proxies that might be of use if the downloaded file is not limited to one computer only. There are a few questions on Answers concerning proxies and following these might give a clue.\nI know none of this helped you much but it might help some of the other readers. :(\nPS: Don't have to give me the points.

I caught my 21 year old, gay roommate letting his 13 year old female cousin give him a hand... job. I found this deeply gross and disturbing and I think they may have had sex at one point. We were best friends and our friendship ended becasue of this. I have told this story to lots of people, some of whom even know him personally. Noone ever seems to think this is a big deal but I do! My conscience still messes with me sometimes and I wonder if I should have told his aunt or the authorities. I knew this person for 5 years and it compeletely shocked me! Am I just naive and stuff like this happens to everybody in everyday life and maybe they don't discuss it, or what? I know if someone told me a story similar to this I would be shocked! Please tell me your opinions!

A 21 year-old male who is allowing an individual under the age of 18 perform any kind of sexual act (whether that act involves penetration or not) on him is committing child molestation.  He is breaking the law and potentially psychologically hurting a CHILD.  And most molestation occurs within the family.\n\nInstead of talking to "lots of people" who cannot do anything about it, talk to authorities or someone who can. If that means talking to the girl's mother/his aunt, then do it.  Unfortunately, if you don't have hard evidence it will be very much a "he said, she said" situation with the possibility that you will not be believed.  If you don't have hard evidence for authorities, they won't be able to do much either.  You may have to simply go to the aunt and tell her you strongly recommend she not allow them to spend time alone together anymore.  \n\nThe sad truth about some of these types of situations is that the younger child is sometimes thrilled that they're in an "adult relationship", and will do anything to protect the person who is sexually assaulting them. Either that, or the person who is HURTING them is a family member and the child feels like family loyalty is more important than self-preservation.  The other sad truth is that loved ones of the perpetrator usually don't want to believe that "junior" or "juniorette" (yes, there are female molestors) could be capable of "something like that".\n\nStuff like this DOES happen a lot, and a lot of it goes unaddressed because no one wants to get their hands dirty... and then those who do it know they can get away with it.  Send a message to your roomie that he can't get away with it.  If he wants to experiment with his peers, then fine.  Leave children alone.


I would like to have a one night stand with a co-worker, but now sure how to approach her about it..

One night stands with co-workers really don't work out. You both agree things won't be weird but they are then the roomers start flighing. My advise is don't. If you do keep it on the down low.


I've noticed that some gods and godesses in the various ancient Indo-European peoples have similar stories and some even have almost the same names.

To a specific Indo-European source? No. Though this is a rather interesting theory. A fair bit of work has been done on it. If you can find works by George Dumezil (translated works, that is. He's French) they make for an interesting read. Really, he is one of the big names in the field.\n\nOf course, the supposedly ultimate source of these similarities is called the Proto-Indo-European cultural group. Ah yes, P.I.E., the best acronym ever.


the winner won. what was the total amount of prize money distributrd if the winner receives 6,000?

Well, if 1st place received $6000 which is 1/2 of the prize money, then the prize money must be $12,000. The second part of the problem (prize for 2nd place) is irrelavent information.


How can you talk to the woman at the first time?

Intelligence, maturity and confidence are up there at the top of the list.  Good sense of humor is near the top too.  Don't use stupid pick up lines, don't act like a jerk and don't make idiotic sexual references to everything!\n\nIf you find any guys like this let me know, because they seem to be extinct or in hiding!\n\nChivalry can't be dead!\n\n(Ha Ha!

it's like when i see a girl and i wanna talk to her , i just can't cuz i don't have the carriage to do that , i don't know why , plz tell me how to get carriage to talk to the girl i like !!

first, start off by thinking of her as someone you'd like to get to know as a friend. friendship can lead to romance later. this may take away some of the pressure. try to think of her as just another potential friend and it should help it feel more natural. once you've gotten to know her better, then you may feel more comfortable asking her out. if you know what she likes to do, you could talk to her about that. for instance, any sports she is into, music, theater, ...

i was born june 21 and depending on what i read, i can either be a cancer or gemini. some cancer traits fit me, while some gemini traits fit me. just curious

it's said that people born on early/late periods of the sign tend to take traits from previous/next signs, however i don't believe that signs have (traits) and that people with that sign must fit these alledged traits, i believe there may be cosmic influence on people born in a particular time depending on positions of starts at that time, cosmic energies influences are ok with me but not a way to judge people have certain personal characteristics or not (environment and upbringing has to do a lot with those)


Hi.. I jst finished my Engineering Degree (Computer Science as Major) and now I want to build my career in Research n Development..

Also, is a Masters degree required for such a career path or not?

I would get a job with a company that paid for continuing education courses.  Take night courses while working until Masters degree attained.

Hey, native spanish speakers. what are some slang words and phrases that you use? and what are their english equivilents? for example, we use words like tight and sick to mean cool, at least where im from we do. What is some common spanish slang from where you're from?

Oh, the Spanish language is so rich in those expressions, and also, there are many local variations (given that Spanish is spoken in very diverse countries). \nI'm from Argentina and here's some common slang from Buenos Aires: \n\n"Joya" = it's ok (joya means jewel)\n"Ni en pedo" = I'll never do that! (this is emphatic, literally means "Not even if I were drunk")\n"Estar dibujado"= when said of someone, it means that it's as if the person did not exist (because of lack of knowledge, participation, etc). Literally means "he/she's a drawing". \n... and speaking of that, it's past midnight here and I should get some sleep, or I'll be "dibujada" in my class tomorrow.

Influenzavirus A (a.k.a. Bird Flu) is a genus of a family of viruses called Orthomyxoviridae in virus classification. Influenzavirus A has only one species in it; that species is called "influenza A virus". Influenza A virus causes "avian influenza" (also known as bird flu, avian flu, influenzavirus A flu, type A flu, or genus A flu). It is hosted by birds, but may infect several species of mammals. All known subtypes are endemic in birds. It was first identified in Italy in the early 1900s and is now known to exist worldwide.

The new Yahoo messenger is called "Beta"  what does " BETA "mean ?

When creating software, there are usually two major phases before software is released.  The Alpha phase is right after all the features have been completed but the bugs haven't been worked out.  Alpha software is usually not released to the public.  This is when the major bugs are found and fixed.  \n\nBeta software is usually the first release the public sees, and it's meant for people who are willing to help test a new product and help report problems they see with it.  Beta software is usually fairly well tested but because it is so new, the makers of the software want to get some useful feedback from users before ending the Beta period.  After the Beta is the GA (general availability) release.  This is when the product is extremely well tested and has minimal if any bugs in it.


I am a 28 year old male from Scotland, and would like to know what the best way to attract a female of similar age is.


if u loved a guy and he loved u... would u get rid of him if he always looked at females.. and he knew it hurt u so he tried to be less obvious and tried to lok around less but still did it?  its just looking... right?  or is that bad

He's just looking?  Does he say, "Man, I'd like to get me some of that!" or "Check out that booty!" - or does he just glance at them?  I don't think there is a straight man alive who doesn't look at least a little bit.  I think I'd be more worried about the man that *didn't* look.\n\nPlease work on being more secure in yourself - your man is with you for a reason.\n\n[There's someone you should get in touch with - you two could start a "My Man Looks At Women" club.  Actually, I bet you are the same person.)


With the vast majority of the world’s HIV/AIDS cases being in Africa, and more specifically, sub-Saharan Africa, the issue of the affordability of AIDS drugs in these typically poor and developing countries is coming to the fore. Some African countries have threatened to ignore drug companies’ intellectual property rights and produce drugs such as AZT cheaply in a generic form, unless the companies agree to lower the price of their products to the poorer markets.Key issues in this debate are whether the drug companies are simply making a profit in the markets that need their product most (and are thus immoral), whether the poorer nations really can’t afford to pay and whether it is at all in the interests of the developing countries to threaten the companies’ intellectual rights and propose to make generic medicines.

I think they should. Africans cannot pay for this because over half of them are in very low poverty who cannot even afford a loaf of bread. I have the most horiffic feeling that if these prices do not go down or are not free, that an extreme of Africans will die.


I am doing a paper (actually giving a speech) on why people hate giving speeches so much and i need some quotes or input from actual people. Please help!

People are shy or unsure of themselves or both.  They are scared they will mess up and people will laugh at them or think badly of them.  Personally, I love speaking in public.

i want to know the solution to the problem of stammering in a school going child

Make him or her read poetry or get them involved in singing lessons. They will either one make him(her) slow down and concentrate on what they are saying. And also the singing will build confidence. It may not cure it but it will definitely help. And may even encourage a life-long enjoyment of music or poetry.


I have had one serious girlfriend that I've had sex with, I am 20 years old and not afraid of performing, but this new girl has been with more guys and has had  more experience than me. She has also been in a relationship with another guy on and off for 3 years. When I first met her, we both had a natural connection, almost drawn together.  I just dont want to fall for the wrong girl. She is 23 and almost out of college. I have yet to have sex with her but only because I said no, we fooled around a little, you know dryhumping and such, she wanted to do it, but i kind of want it to be special because she is not just another piece of ass. I want her to know that I want to be with her for more than just sex and she does, but i think she just also enjoys sex alot. Did I do the right thing because it was hard for me to resist but i want it to be right, the circumstances to me wern't right?

ok first of all i can relate this is what i did i told my guy about not being with a lot of people so he helped me i am telling you leting someone you care about show you what they like is a lot easier than putting it off if she loves you she will take the time and show you her spots or fast or slow or freaky or not from the front or back


I would like to know about TIMEMUN (or the Israeli model united nations). I would like to know it's history, what are the reason of the establishment of TIMEMUN, what is it purpose and a bit general information on TIMEMUN.

I checked on Google and I found http://www.timemun.org/. It's very weird. I've never heard about this organization. \nOne of their goals, as I read, is "Preventing the acquisition of nuclear weaponry and technology by terrorist organizations." Israels's government actions agains Palestine are pure terrorism. Why Israel has nuclear weapon then? ANd let me remind you- Israel started nuclear program in complete secrecy. They even arrested a Jewish journalist who took photos of nuclear powerplant...  At the end, when it became public, nobody asked any questions.. Unfortunately we're living in the world with double standards..


OK, Im a fairly hairy guy. Im not gorilla hairy, but theres enough there that even I dont really like it. So I shave it off. I shave my chest, shoulders, and the small areas on my back where it is., and of course my groin area. I also shave my armpits. And this is a note to the guys. Shave your armpit hair, trust me on this. You dont sweat, and its so much more comfortable. And Im completely straight, and wouldnt classify myself as a 'metrosexual' at all. If you think otherwise, youre an idiot. So girls, do you like this clean shaven body look, or do you like guys with hairy chests? Personally, I like it better than being 'au naturel'. Is more comfortable. Also note that I am 6'2'', 230 pounds. Im no stick thin guy, nor am I overweight. Im a big dude.

You said it yourself, Aron - "I don't really like it."\n\nSuit yourself. It's your body, your hair, and your comfort.\n\nMe, I can go either way. I had a lover years ago who had extremely little body hair. He was lovely.\n\nMy second ex-husband and my current b/f have more body hair, maybe not as much as you. I like that fine, also.\n\nI agree that this says NOTHING about your sexuality. It simply is not relevant. It's about your own comfort and hygiene.\n\nDon't worry about it too much, though. I'm sure that you are fine the way that you are.\n\nThat's my 2 cents.\n\nP.S. What I don't really care for are mustaches and beards. Just my own preference. I wouldn't dump a man over it, but I might try to talk him out of it.\n\nI agree with the previous poster who advised trimming instead of shaving.

how to translate the following sentences:\nアメリカ式の叱り方は、日本人の目には、(あんなふうに叱れば、親の遺伝も教育方法もよくないことが、一度に周囲の人にわかってしまって、叱っている自分が恥ずかしいことなのに）「人前かまわず」叱りつける、とうつるわけです。

That sentence is incomplete, which makes me hard to translate. The best I can do would be "The way Americans scold seems  ________________________ to Japanese." \nI can't judge what comes in the blank since the sentence you provided is incomplete, but it should be something like "the way americans scold(at children? am not sure) seems too harsh to Japanese (if you scold like that way, ....continues...)

Their influence is to try to pass legislation that will benefit their industry.


The free market is the best regulator of business." Discuss why the U.S. public has not accepted this concept for regulating depository financial institutions. [In other words, why is there much less opposition to bank regulations as compared to possible regulation of, say, the automobile industry?]

A stable financial system is vital for an economy. All the financial institutions borrow from eachother. In other words: if one major bank goes bankrupt, you get a deep depression.

Maybe you should let your parents get to know him.  Odds are that you would get to see him more even if it means they are around.  Parents aren't really that bad and if the guy really likes you he will take any chance to spend time with you even if it is just hanging out watching tv at your house with your parents there.

MY wifes cousin wants to get four year assignment to Italian embassy in Washinton D.C.

It would be highly inappropriate for a US Senator to take interest in an Italian citizen's hiring in the Italian Embassy in Washington.  He needs to apply for a position through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome.  Most assignments of diplomatic and consular staff must originate there.  Local engagements would be for American citizens or LPRs to work in the Italian Embassy.\n\nThe Italian Ambassador represents the government of Italy.  As such, it would be foolish for him to do a favor (why would the Senator want to do this anyway?) to a US Senator and ignore Italian influencers who might want his help.


I've done a bunch of option spreads trades in 2005 and getting to know the tax implications while trying to file returns now. \nDo I need to declare completely closed straddle (option spread) positions on Part-II of Form 6781 as per straddle rules? Or is it only required when one is actually have a realized loss but not a realized gain on the other leg of straddle during the year? \n\nIf I must use form 6781, does every change in the straddle position make it a new straddle? If that's the way all rollovers add up as multiple straddles, which can be very complex to track in terms of gains and losses, and wash sales between losses and gains.

Nathaniel Greene and Horatio Gates are two likely candidates.  But who else was nearly as famous as Washington at the time.

At the time, Arnold was revered as a heroic and competent general, know for his exploits at the Battle of Saratoga which was the turning point of the War of Independence.  Another name that comes to mind is General Horatio Gates but he was not a great military mind (he suffered one the greates American military loss in history at the Battle of Camden) but General Nathanael Greene was a famous name and an excellent leader.  So you have Arnold-good and traitorous, Gates- not so good and Gates- good and not a traitor

Sometimes we become absorbed in our work, or a project, or a movie, or an activity, or our family, or our church, or even ourselves.
