Isn't it amazing what a prayer can do when it all  seems hopeless it'll see you through. Isnt' it amazing how a broken heart grows strong and every now and then that special someone comes along.


please don't answer just yes or no. give me some reasons.tanx.

The first one definitely. It was groundbreaking, unusual, creative, mysterious. The others just live off its success.


The Bush administration is under pressure from Israel, which has warned the Bush team that Iran is closer to developing a nuclear bomb within months than Washington thinks \nand that a moment of decision is fast approaching.1\nBush and his team have calibrated their rhetoric to give the impression that the United States may yet resort to force. In January, the president termed a nuclear-armed Iran "a grave threat to the security of the world," words that echoed language he used before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Vice President Cheney vowed "meaningful consequences" if Iran does not give up any nuclear aspirations, and U.N. Ambassador John R. Bolton refined the formula to "tangible and painful consequences."\n\nsource\nWashington Post

Its entirely possible.\nIf the Iranian president continues to use Kruschev-like rhetoric then the west will prepare for the worst.\n\nThe Iranian president wants a confrontation.  He continues to make provocative and frightening statements.  With his boasts and threats he gives the west fewer and fewer channels of diplomacy.  Perhaps he believes he can succeed where Saddam failed.\nThe west will not be a Chamberlain.


what does it mean?  name people in the story.  why were these words written and where exactly and on what were they written? what is the lesson taught here?

It's in the book of Daniel. The words were written on a wall by a hand that appeared. Daniel was brought in to interpret the words. It is something about your time being up. The king that saw the words written died that night. I don't recall any more off the top of my head. Daniel is a really interesting book. I would highly recommend reading it.


HORNY HORNY HIPPO i want to call her that tonight when i go see her 2NITE! what do you think she will say or do?

Try to think of something else.  That name isn't gonna get you any, if that's what you're trying to do.


create new synapses by doing anything that would make you"connect the dots"\nlike solving math problems, painting, walking with awareness etc.


*internet services like e-mail, chatting, on-line-gaming etc.*\n*any suggestions you would like to add to make the customers\nbe comfortable while they rent*

i suggest for a 2 combination color. one is a cool color &\na warm color. just have to mix & match the right one. well,\nsome type of blue color is striking one. it's up to you what you like to prefer. on the other hand, what make customers more comfortable are: friendly staff of course, not too dim environment, conducive area to stay. add some extra food services like sandwiches and drinks. also, a cool & comfortable environment is really a must. maintain cleanliness, add some extra soft couch with a glass small table partner provided with gadget tech magazines or comic books--this is an area for the waiting customers who wants to rent or maybe go on-line gaming...


I asked a question about this before - leads to a new question.  I knew my answer would be about God/Jesus and I UNDERSTAND THIS.  What I DON'T understand is if they are so "bad" -- and God made us all, then why would He give these powers (or whatever you call it) to people - and a lot of times it is hereditery???? PLUS you always hear them (Sylvia Brown, etc.) praising God.  What does "defile" mean anyway? (what the spirits will do to us -- bible)

No one has concrete answers on what happens in the after life, least of all the Bible. Your powers are something that is not based on religion. Its part of how you function, like breathing and eating. You can't get rid of them and you can't be held responisble for them being there. Don't try and force a dogmatic view on something like that. If someone tells you that your powers are of the devil then you can know in your heart that they are blissfully ignorant of the truth. You need to look inside yourself and try and fit it in your own beliefs. Don't let someone else tell you what to believe. Work it out on your own. You can't let someone else tell you how it works when they don't have the gift. Only you can do this for yourself.


The following Super Bowls are; \n\nXLV in 2011\nXLVI in 2012\nXLVII in 2013\nXLVIII in 2014\nL in 2016\n\nKansas City, Missouri has tentative been selected as the host of  Super Bowl XLIX  \n\nHere is how I would like to see future Super Bowls:\n\n2011 – Indianapolis\n2012 – Atlanta\n2013 – Los Angeles\n2014 – Chicago\n2016 – Detroit

2011 – Indianapolis - maybe it will happen with new stadium, but it shouldn't, indy is too small and too cold\n\n2012 – Atlanta - not unlikely, but again, it shouldn't.  atlanta can be cold in january/february, and it is a fairly small market\n\n2013 – Los Angeles - ok, but i assume you mean pasadena, and the rose bowl would need renovation.  as it stands now, no chance for the colloseum, unless la gets a team and renovates it or builds a new stadium.\n\n2014 – Chicago - no chance.  i live in chicago, and i think it's the greatest city in the u.s., and new york is it's only real competition.  but there's no way this will happen, it's too cold, too outdoors, and too small.  after indy builds a new stadium, soldier field will be the smallest in the country, and there's no new stadium coming anytime soon after spending half a billion or so on renovations to soldier field 2 years ago.   \n\n2016 – Detroit - i hope not, too soon, and a bad idea anyway.\n\nas for 2015, kc is probably out, the rolling roof was voted down last week, and the superbowl will not come to an outdoor arrowhead.  also, i am originally from the kc area and a chiefs fan, and i think hosting a superbowl there would be a disaster; there is not enough hotels, there is not enough to do, and the weather in february sucks.    \n\nto paraprase espn.com's bill simmons, the superbowl should just rotate between san diego, new orleans, and miami.  these are the only warm weather cities in the country with the hotel space, the stadium and convention facilities, and also the fun factor stemming from centralized downtowns and no shortage of bars.  the superbowl is the biggest u.s. sporting event of the year, except for the occasional hosting of a summer olympics.  it is also a week-long party.  thus, it should be played only in places that people want to go, and unfortunately since it is a winter event, this excludes cold climates.  should the chiefs ever make the superbowl, i fully intend to attend by any menas necesary, selling my car, maxing out credit cards, whatever.  and in such a case, i would hate to do so to spend a week in houston, jacksonville, or detroit.


I have currently gotten involved with a female. We both are busy the majority of the time. When she wants to spend time with me I am busy and when I want to spend time with her she is busy. We also live on opposite sides of town. She told a friend of hers that I was her boyfriend and I was not sure of this having these together time issues. I offered to take her out to a fine resteraunt and she stood me up and she offered me the same that following week and I stood her up out of spite. How do I come together with her because I am tired of games now. I am ready to move on in life.

It is really quite simple.  You sit down and have a long talk with this girl and figure out if the two of you are both willing to make this relationship work.  That means coming up with a schedule so you two can spend time together and agreeing to not play silly games.  If the two of you can't do this then move on and find someone else.


I just want to know how I can put images in my messages without putting them as attachments... Thank you.

If you don't care what mail client you use I do know that Yahoo email has Yahoo photo mail you can insert photos from your comp into the e-mail message itself. Yahoo e-mail and photo mail is also free. It works great for me, maybe this will work for you ? Here is a link. \n\nhttp://photomail.mail.yahoo.com/


the pistons have the best record in the nba and get home court atvantage!

The only team possibly standing in the way would be the San Antonio Spurs.  I really think the Pistons are the best TEAM in basketball right now, and barring injury, no one, even the Spurs, can take them in a 7 game series.  I think Flip has done an even better job with them than Larry Brown.


Does anyone else agree with me that Land of Hope and Glory should be played for England at the World Cup instead of God save the Queen.

Seeing that God Save The Queen is the national anthem of the United Kingdom as a whole, it would perhaps be good if each of the constituent nations adopt a song as a "national" anthem when they play internationals since they play as seperate countries anyway. I think Land of Hope and Glory would be a perfect choice for England.


The person with the most enticing and descriptive story will win the best answer.

I need to be able to make a little extra money on ebay to help with graduate school expenses next fall. I am unable to work at a regular job much and go to school at the same time and as interns, we are NOT paid.\n\nIt looks like  you would have to sell ALOT of used books to make any kind of profits! Maybe baby clothes? What about hand crafted things? Jeans? I can find things to resell fairly easy in our area as we have lots of garage sales weekly. I just need to have some idea on what to concentrate on buying.\n\nTIA!

Just some suggestions.  Pick something that you know about or that you're willing to learn about.  For instance if you like video games, then you will know what's hot, what's about to come onto the market, etc.  These items alomst always are in demand on eBay.  Generally, when they are out there 'before' they hit the regular marketplace in volume, it drives the price up on eBay.  That's what you want and that's where you make the profit.


I'm not interested in the body building benefits of taking testosterone, but rather in what foods and activities increase or decrease T production in the body.  Not interested in supplements

http://pasakbumi.com/ pasak bumi also called tongkat ali or eurycoma longifolia jack makes you an animal upping testosterone levels up to 400% PROVEN. It's a natural tree root growing in India of the tongkat ali tree. You really need your testosterone otherwise you're a woman. So make that into tea and drink it and fufill your destiny. (p.s. I bought this stuff myself and it isn't a joke when you take it. If you've already got a temper I'd take it in extreme moderation unless you want to become a psycho-killer, likewise with if you already lust a lot. Don't think you can buy a cheap rip off, where they give you weak and unpotent parts of the tongkat ali root, that site gives you the best part of the root so If you're going to buy i'd get the real stuff, not ripoffs)


This incident took place in the early 70's in Torrance California. After the theater had closed the staff was robbed and murdered. A very tradgic event.

Most of us are frustrated with NCLB.  I was wondering if there were any anti-NCLB organizations?  OR, better yet--how can teachers get involved in the decisions that are made regarding education?  I am tired of non-educators making the important decisions in education.  Of course these decisions turn out to be horribly wrong and who has to work with it and clean it up?  TEACHERS!  I am tired of inexperienced people making the decisions for me, how can I get involved?

I am not a teacher yet but I belive NCLB sucks. It puts more mphasis on teacher credential than student learning. Teachers have to spend more time worrying about test scores and less time teahing non-test materials. Theydon't get paid enough to put up with the BS. Hope these help:\n\nhttp://nonclb.blogspot.com/\n\nhttp://nclb.meetup.com/    (lets you find one in your area)

The followers of the 4 spiritual leaders claim their leader as best but wearing a neutral cap, whom do you consider a TRUE leader in all respects.

All of these people were just regular people like you and I. What made them special is that they knew God personally and they showed the world how to reach her. There are a thousand different types of people, which is why it was necessary for God to express himself through all of these people, so people would have the choice (free will) which path suited them best to find God.

I'm trying to solve a petty dispute about double negatives. My friend always uses this sentence structure. He says something like, "I don't hardly sleep." I say this is incorrect because I was taught that even though the word 'hardly' isn't like any other negative, it is still a negative nonetheless. In saying the quote above wouldn't he be saying the exact opposite than he means, which is something like "I sleep a lot." He means to say, "I hardly ever sleep," or "I don't sleep very much." I'm just a little confused. I need someone who knows their grammar.

It's better to say "I hardly" or "I rarely." "Don't Hardly" is a double-negative.


the distance.  Except we don't act broke up because we talk and flirt and when I fly out there we are definitly not broke up.  This week he forgot my Birthday do I have the right to b*tch at him for forgetting?

Yes.  If he's getting sex, the least he can do is remember your birthday.  What a loser.


I HOPE YOU DO EVEN IF YOU DON'T I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

ANYONE??? i have a political science test and this is on my review and i don't know what it is.  I know it has to do with political parties or something.  but its not in the book and i can't find anything online.

I THINK it means go to the middle.  In other words, be a moderate and not a leftist or rightest.  Extremes are never good in politics.\n\nI would have this verified by other posts.\n\nIt can also mean get to the center of an issue.  It depends upon the content of your question.


I have it. PLEASE DON'T GO LOOK IT UP, JUST TRY TO GUESS USING YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE!!


My favorite white rapper is myself, Dr. Evil!  I didn't spend 6 years in Evil Medical school to be called "Mr" thank you very much.


I am calling #411 to get a phone # to a (famous)local grocery store.... and it's all automated!!!!!!  Press this for city and state, say city/state after tone, then if it's not repeated correctly or if there is background noise the "system doesn't recognize it". AHHHHHH? I finally gave up and used the damn phone book.  I'm sure I'll get charged for the call....but did you know when you call back to have it removed off the account that they will charge you for that!?  Insane!!! I really just wanted to talk to a human being!!! Automated systems SUCK!!!!

I have had this problem with many services.  The pharmacy is a good one.  I take so many meds that sometimes  I accidentally get cutt off of their automated refill system.  I will die because I have diabetes meds and drugs for my mental illness.  You can say I have a wooping pharmacy in my bathroom.  \n\nA couple times I get right down to the last one (number14)Then something  happens and I get disconnected.  Which means that I have to call back and give all those horrid pill bottle numbers to them.  I do this late at night so that I dont freak out on one of my loved one lol.  \n\nAnother automated system that I despise is aol tech support.  Oh man I could go on about them all day.  Whenever they tell you to say something(the automatic teller)is prompted.  Then they do not get anything right you tell them.  \n\nBecause of this they will trasnfer you to their first available tech support person.  Then you will wait forever listining to doctor office music.  Then finally somebody answers and you are like WOW!!!!!!! Finally...\n\nUnfortunately this representive speaks very broken english.  This really sucks.  I try not to loose my patience but my God I cannot understand what they are saying.  Then you can always call back and wait again.  Hoping and praying it is someone that you can understand.  \n\nI could go on but then I would be here for a long time.  Good question and YES it makes me mad.


On my way home today I had several cops drive by (with lights and sirens blaring!) and I noticed several cars that didn't bother to pull over and the cops had to weave around them. Why don't some people have enough respect to pull over? (I don't want that "F*ck the Police" crap, because that same person saying that would call the police if they were robbed or stabbed etc..)I'm not a goody goody, but I have respect.

In Texas, I have encountered this problem when I'm responding to an emergency. When opportunity allows I have stopped these people and asked for reasons. The number reason is because "I didn't see/notice you." I reply to this by asking them if they didn't see my emergency lights or hear my siren, then how are they able to be aware of the other traffic around them. In Texas, a driver must either pull into another lane (if available) or slow to 20 miles an hour below the posted speed limit. Before I had a radar unit in my vehicle, I used to "leap frog" the state troopers. I would pull in behind their units on traffic stops and then issue citations to anyone that failed to move over or slow down. On average, I wrote three tickets for every traffic stop that they made.

i am working on documentum and fax server integration to sendout general fax using the fixed numbers.So I would like to know whether anyone has done this kind of thing before and if yes pls do let me know the details of how will you go on doing it. \nRegards

If your using a real fax server, such as Castelle, or similar, then you should get the SDK, which has all the tools you need to get going.  I've used Castelle FaxPress' SDK in the past with good success to incorporate fax automation into various programs.   If your talking about controlling fax computer hardware, like an internal PC fax card, then be sure to purchase a high quality unit, where the company offers an SDK, such as a good US Robotics unit.  Trying to do it without an SDK, it just not practical from a stand-point of time management, and from a cost-benefit stand point.


Yeah, I know a million of em but still. Lets hear some greats ones? From anyone?

-Chuck Norris is the reason that Waldo is hiding.\n-Chuck Norris sleeps with a pillow under his gun.\n-Then again, Chuck Norris doesn't sleep; he waits.\n-Chuck Norris doesn't hunt; the word "hunt" suggests there is room for failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.\n- Chuck Norris' ex-girlfriend once asked him,"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.?" He then replied," How DARE you rhyme in the presence of Chuck Norris!!" and ripped her throat out. Standing over her, he said," Don't F*** with Chuck." Years later, he recalled this incident and the irony of his rhyme and laughed so hard that people within 5 miles of him were deafened. \n-If rock beats scissors and scissors cuts paper and paper covers rock, what beats all three?? Chuck Norris.\n-If you spell out Chuck Norris in Scrabble, you win. Forever.

What is it about a person that makes you laugh your head off?\nStories, tips, and guidelines...

I think a guy is funny when he's just himself and he makes me laugh when he's not trying to be funny. He's just naturally funny in everyday conversations. Just be yourself. Tastes in humor are relative.


Looking to merge with a larger company and would like a list of key questions to ask the company prior to merging with them.

1) What is the strategy behind the merger?  Why do they want to merge?\n2) What is the proposed deal structure?  What will be exchanged (cash, shares, others?)?  How would each company be valued?\n3) How will the two companies function?  Will they be operated independently or will they merge their operations?\n4) Will there be any layoffs?\n\nTry some books that tackle Mergers and Acquisitions and you will get more answers.


So I like this guy but whenever I tell him or like remind him (is that bad?) the next day he tells one of my friends that he thinks I'm a b**ch and that he hates me. I have no idea why he hates me. He's going out with another firl right now and I just don't know how to get over him!!! Please help me!!! Oh yea there was a rumor going around my school that he was going to ask me out. I don't kno wif that has anything to do with it. Thanks so much for any help you can give!!! <beachlover703

The same thing kinda happened to me...I think that you should probably stop reminding him, and don't listen to the rumors. If he calls you a b**ch all the time then he obviously doesn't deserve you anyway!!!=)

My husband is a mexican, from mexico, and he has been in the U.S.A. for 6 yrs, and working at the same job for 6 years, and we have been married this Aug,25,2006 will be 4 yrs,\nand we went immigration to update his paper work, so he can continue same employment, and they locked him up for Fraud.\nI need answers, of what to do about this situation.\nplease reply

The only way you can help your husband is to hire an immigration lawyer. The US Department of Homeland Security sucks for locking up your husband like that! Get your family to help pay for a immigration lawyer if you can't pay. I will pray for you and may God bless you and your family, it sounds like he was locked up based on discrimination!\n\nCall the Mexican consulate too!! Maybe they can help


It seems as though a person smoking marijuana is a victimless crime more along the line of a person smoking 10 nicotine cigarettes than even getting drunk on alcohol.\n\nUsing any inebriating substance while driving should be illegal positively. But smoking a joint in my living room? I disagree...

I think that if spirits (rum, whisky...) are legal marijuana should also be legal.


im expecting answers from woman only. i need this, for my research purpose, so whatever you mind is saying or you feel, please express it!!!!!!!!

When Jesus said "Servants, obey your masters", did the word "servant" mean "slave"?  Did Jesus, and the Old Testament, indicate that slavery was a normal thing?

The old testament did make references to slavery as if it was normal,as long as Jews weren't enslaved.Leviticus 24:44 said not to enslave Jews,but if you need slaves,you may buy them from other nations.\nOnly a man would say that it is not OK to enslave your own people,but OK TO enslave others,not God.We are all God's children.No one should be enslaved,period.Then somewhere else in the old testament it said that If a man rapes a woman,he would be sentenced to death. If he rapes a slave,he would be punished,but not sentenced to death because she was just a slave.Something like that.Why would anyone believe that is a word of God?\n\nI remember Jesus using slavery as an example to make a point,but I don't think he was condoning slavery.It was just a parable.I wish I could remember the exact verse.\n\nSlavery is wrong,period.It is insane to believe that God would condone people being mistreated as long they weren't Jews?That doesn't sound like a loving God.


Aggh cheer brush up workouts are next week...tryout week is the week after that! Last year I was on JV...now i'm too old for that team! Last year at try outs I sucked at tumbling...hence being on the jv team...so for the past six months I've been taking tumbling lessons, the past two months i've been going twice a week...anyways...im a pretty good tumbler now...but im SOOOO nervous....anxious mroe like it...im excited but every time i think about it i get sick to my stomach!...if im this nervous now...imagine how tryouts will be!...i mean i have no reason to be nervous...i'v got my splits, jumps, and tumbling, and i've always been good and the cheer and dance part...i even set it up so my private tumbling coach is spotting for all of try outs!!! but i NEED to relax....i tried yoga that didnt work...any suggestions to help me relax???

Well, I kind of can relate. My best friend just tried out for cheerleading. She was REALLY nervous about it too. She kept on thinking negatively, and she thought she wasn't going to make it. But, then she got really excited and then all of sudden she butterflies in her stomach. Kind of how you are? Well, I got her relaxed by just telling her to BREATHE!!! Then told her to think POSITIVELY!! Think that your a great cheerleader, and if they don't put you on the squad...they are CRAZY!!! Just try to stop worrying, you'll probably do AWESOME!! Try hanging out with some friends to get your mind off of things for a little while. And maybe even practice your cheer! And practice your tumbling, and splits, and jumps. Practice makes perfect! That helped my friend alot when her and I just talked about anything and even though I'm a soccer player I helped her practice her cheer. She even tought the WHOLE cheer to me. And, at the end of it all she ended up making the squad! So, just relax. Im sure you'll do great! GOOD LUCK!!\n\nA quote that I have learned that is kind of inspirational...\n"If you think you can, you can! If you think you can't, then your probably right!" -Mark Kay Ash

They allow our atmosphere to become polluted so the ozone will be hurt. The government never make laws over the important things in life but the useless things. They never consider the fact that if the earth dies so do we. They will never beable to withstand the massive population & pollution that our government and community is doing. We need to cleanse the earth of pollution and find a way to start a cleaner world before this world is destroyed. Poeple never take a moment to thank each other anymore that they are destroying the one thing we should take care of most. If it was not for the earth we could not survive to take care our families. Nor could we be able to eat, drink, & have living corters. The government says they are taking care of us now but look at how many poeple are out on the street trying to find food, shelter, and a way of life. So, if that is saving our world than we are going to be dead in a few centries. Our country may become outraged if they don't start helping.

The US doesn't do anything to help the environment because our politicians are controlled by the oil companies.  Look at Bush, his family made all its money from oil; furthermore, Cheney is connected to Haliburton, a huge energy company.  As long as the oil manufacturers control our political leaders, the US will not do anything to help the environment.  This is very unfortunate because it will cause further damage to our environment, but also it is leading to disagreements between Europe and the US.  The European Union passed the Kyoto Protocol, a program that would require all participating nations to reduce their pollution, last year and the US was one of the only nations not to sign it.  The truly sad thing about that is that the US contributes the most to world pollution.  As of now, the only way our politicians will change their minds about the environment is if the voters band together and become stronger than the oil companies.


Heres the deal. I have a medical condition thus causing me horrible abnominal pain, swelling, bloating, and overall heckish things. I can't fit my clothes and I feel like a water buffalo. I had surgery for the condition and gained alot of weight from the medication that I was on to help what cannot be treated with surgery, thus...medication to try to "shrink" the disease. Anyways. The disease is spreading. It's not fatal. It's just painful. In the meantime, the meds didn't help other than to make me gain 31 pounds plus im still swollen and in pain. I'm off the meds. I've had it with  being fat. So, I can walk but not for long periods of time. When I do, I spend the whole night in bed in agonizing pain,  physical activity is just NOT working. So at this point i'm not sure what to do, I have some weights i'm using to try to tone up my arms a bit, at the same time, my belly and legs have expanded. Thankfully I don't have the huge bum sydrome. What can I do here? I feel so unattractive.

Sounds like you're on steroids. Without knowing about your specific disease, treatment and post-op course I can only give generic advise.\n\n1. Talk to MD about decreasing the dose\n2. See another MD for a second opinion\n\nYou say that the steroids haven't helped. You may be mistaken about this. What patients often fail to realize is just how bad symptoms MIGHT have become if they hadn't taken the steroids to begin with.

cybering or role playing which one and would u with me? real sex or fake sex?


If it is proved that Bush lied or willingly misled by withholding information to the American People, the Congress and the UN to get us into the war in Iraq would you vote to impeach him if you had the chance?

I think that if it is proved that he lied, he (or any other public servant for that matter) should have to face justice.\nYour question is very important\nBush supporters, if it is proved beyond doubt that he lied, shouldn't he have to be impeached? of course he should just as a democrat would have to if he lied.\nIt's not a matter of being a democrat or a republican, it is a matter of law and following it.\nDon't get all angry about it conservative. The question is objective and clear. It deserves an equally objective and clear response

English is in the same linguistic group as German, Dutch, Scandinavian languages etc - they are all Germanic since they share history and some lexical and grammatical features. I need to take different texts in Modern English and analyze them in such way to prove that it is Germanic although it has lost most of its Germanic features. How to do this analysis?

You have to use an Etymological Dictionary of English and look up the origin / etymology of the words. Nevertheless, you will find  many cases where words also originated from Latin, Greek and some other languages, currently dead or alive.


also whats the diff between type one and type 2

Yes, you can still get diabetes type 2. (Although less likely)\n\nThe difference between type 1 and 2 are:\n\nType 1: your body doesnt produce insulin.(or insuffient amounts of insulin)\n\nTypes 2: Your body doesnt absorb the insulin as well.(usually over time)\n\nTypes 1 and 2 can both be developed but most people have type 2 because of lack of exercise and a poor diet and obesity)

Now that my state (the whole country too??) has limited sales of medicines containing pseudoephedrine due to meth lab activity, I have not been able to get my trusty, non-drowsy sudafed.  I have to go to the store when the pharmacist is in and get it from behind the counter.  Since the pharmacist was not there when I went today, I bought phenyephedrine.  What are the major differences?

the drugs do the same thing (decongestants), they are just a little bit different. kinda like Tylenol vs Advil; both are pain relievers, but are different drugs. a lot of people say pseudoephidrine works better, but other people don't notice a difference.


I have read a couple of books about them. What type do you think you are this time around?

do they want to cuddle and be held or do they want alot of foreplay or do they just want it hard and fast or hard and slow   what do they want?

most of us want cuddling and alot of foreplay. but, sometimes we want hard and fast too. it depends on the mood, how much time we have etc.


I decided that I do not like them, did not use the first month I signed up for. I did not renew, yet they have changed me, after I cancelled.

To ad to my problem I have a goiter plus enlarged thyroid and nodules. Dr. put me on syntroid be cause my thyroid was sitting @ 12.6 and within 2 wks I was going nuts with what felt like feathers on my face. Has anyone ever heard of this and what am I going to do, I'm gaining weight and I know your thyroid if it's not right causes a lot of problems with your body. Also after being off of it 1 week not without them I'm extremly tired. It took 3 days when I quit them and all feelings on my face like feathers were gone. The dr. and I figured out this was what was causing it, and I haven't been back yet to see what he's going to suggest. I need some suggetions and I do appreciate your time. In Texas, HELP!

Usually, if you have a reaction to thyroid medication, it signifies that the dosage needs adjusted.  There are other thyroid meds so I am sure your doctor will put you on something else.  Meanwhile, there is nothing that you can do.  There are no OTC treatments and no changes in diet that will help.  The only current and effective treatment for  hypothyroidism is a prescribed medication.  I suggest you schedule an appointment with your doctor asap.


When they say Speed of Light.. are they refering to the light we get from the Sun or the Man made Bulbs? Does the light from the Sun and light from a bulb travel at the same speed? And what about the light from a candle? Can anyone explain this to me?

As the others have said, all light travels at exactly the same speed.  This is even true if the observer and/or the  light source are moving very very fast.  Once this was proved by experiment, everyone was very upset until Einstein figured it out and showed that time and space can distort. If you want a real bad headache, you can read all about this.  If it doesn't give you a headache, become a physicist!

I am not 100% sure, but I think if you set your age as 14 it will automatically do this.  Then in your profile you can tell your real age.  I think this is how it's done.  Setting your myspace account as private really takes all the fun out, though.  :)

i found them through moneysupermarket.does anyone have any previous experience with them?i been trying to get a 2000 pounds loan have a bad credit score i don't earn a high income either.any one know any genuine company that's willing to help me?

Well, I'm familiar with Citi Financial. They are legit, but their rates are way too high. The last rate I saw for a personal loan was 21%. \nI think a local bank would be a better bargain. You should be able to get something in the 12-15% range unless your credit is bad.

I have a question about pretty basic physics(I believe).  If you drop, say, an apple, from a height of 10m on the moon, would it accelerate faster or slower than if it were on Earth?  It could be slower because there is less gravity on the moon, but the lack of air resistance might cause the apple to accelerate faster.  Which one of these effects is stronger?  Does the apple accelerate faster or slower than if it was on Earth?  I would much appreciate a concrete answer to this question.

You have stated, “The acceleration could be slower because there is less gravity on the moon, but the lack of air resistance might cause the apple to accelerate faster”\n\nYou have raised a basic question. \n\n Let us imagine there is no air both in earth and moon.\n\nThe Earth pulls the apple with an acceleration of ~ 10m/s^2. (No air resistance)\n\nThe moon pulls the apple with an acceleration of ~1.7 m/s^2. (No air resistance)\n\n You are asking a basic question that if air reduces the acceleration due to earth by an amount 9m/s^2, then the earth will have only 1m/s^2, whereas moon will have 1.7 m/s^2. Therefore apple will move faster in moon. -- Good question!\n\nThe air resistance is proportional to the mass of air displaced by the object and on the speed of the object.\n\nConsider the helium filled balloon, it floats on air. At certain height its speed is zero.\n\nThe same balloon, if it can with stand the internal pressure, will fall down in moon with  an acceleration of 1.7m/s^2 from whatever height it is dropped whereas it is in rest on Earth.\n\nIn earth we can drop an apple from such a height that it attains its terminal velocity.\ni.e., the net acceleration is made zero.\n\nIn moon, the same apple can be dropped from a height such that it exceeds the terminal velocity of the apple on earth and the apple is always accelerated in moon.


Congress is considering a bill that would end the longtime practice of granting citizenship to children of illegal immigrants born in the U.S \nI'm indecisive at this point \nYES- It degrades the legitimacy of our countries immigration system because once someone crosses our borders illegally and gives birth to a child their entire family is able to cut the line.\nNo- My parents immigrated from Nigeria illegally in 1991 and gave birth to me in 1992. They invested all-out in their lives here because they knew I would be granted full membership and would be entitled to aspire to the nation's highest pinnacles of success.\nWHAT DO YOU THINK?

I think kids are the innocent ones and deserve to be a citizen of the country they are born in.  I think the U.S. needs to change it's immigration laws before it starts condemning kids.  Some people think that this country is busting at the seams with immigrants but this is not true.  Take a look at many European countries who have a lot higher immigration rates than the US.  This country would be enhanced by a friendly worker program and more refugees from around the world permitted each year.  However, I am all for much tighter border security. It beats bombing people around the world and hoping that it wont come back to haunt you!


if you had to describe your uhm.. uh beaver (or boobies) or dong (or your spouses) with a *special* name for it what would ya name it and whyyy?


because this is not possible, that in the whole universe there are so many planets; and only on earth, life exists; why earth can be so fortunate enough! give reasons!.

I doubt that Earth is the only planet in the whole Universe that can sustain life.  There will probably be some other planets out there somewhere with some sort of life on it.  Whether it's intelligent life or not is another question!\n\nThere may very well have been life on Mars, or on other planets in our solar system at one point,  but we have yet to find it, or any evidence.

It is hard to find grants to start a business -- whether you are Asian or not. 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.

Do we really need three types of wingdings?

LGBThe reason we have so many fonts to choose from is that we want visual variety when we stare at a printed page!  If everything we read was in this basic typeface we use here in Answers,  we would get bored.  \n\nRemember, "style" attracts our attention to the substance of the message.  If the message is presented plain typeface it won't attract our attention!  That's why publishers have so many typefaces/fonts to choose from.\n\nFor everyday use, it's a bit of over kill when, using Word we are given so many,when we really only need a few.

I've never been obese; however, I've never been athletic, so I've been slightly flabby all my life.  I'm really trying to lose weight and get in shape for multiple reasons.  I don't have a feel for what my goal weight should be and I need a goal to stay motivated.  I'm a engineer, I like numerical limits.  I'm 5 feet 6.5 inches, medium frame.  Any thoughts?

I think you're one of the few I've seen who actually thought of stating frame-type when asking for advice on ideal weight.  Good thinking because your frame-type most definitely influences your ideal weight range regardless of height.  \n\nKeep in mind that body composition is a far better indicator of overall health that weight according to your height (or BMI which is a poor indicator of overall health).\n\nMoreover, try not to get fixed on one number.  An ideal weight range, is more flexible and will allow you to fluctuate between your summer and winter weight.  An ideal range for your height/frame is about 130-140.  This is only an estimate as you could exceed this range if you have dense muscle/bone or high percentage of lean muscle mass.  \n\nSince you're an engineer, you'll probably enjoy plugging numbers into the following calculators to assess and track your progress.  \n\nCalculate your Ideal Body Weight (Female)\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/ideal_weight_woman.html\n\nEstimate Adult Body Fat Percentage \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bodyfat.html\n\nTarget Weight / Body Composition\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/target_weight.html\n\nWaist-Hip Ratio \nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/waist_hip_ratio.html

The day after I drink alcohol, I feel so anxious and stressed out.I don't drink very often because of this feeling..but when I do I just want to go crazy! I can't sleep, eat, etc....Is there anyone out there that has the same feelings??????????????????

It sure is normal, aclohol is a depressant of course you knwo that, and that is why you feel that way... their maybe underlying issue's why you may feel stressed, I don't know, but I do know your not alone, I suffer the same thing, and I hate it that is why I too don't drink often.. it just doesn't feel good afterwards, i have fun while drinking, most the time anyway, but after is so miserable, if I were you I wouldn't bother, that is what I think I may do, just not drink, that way I don't have to worry about it, but hang in there, your for sure not alone, millions of others suffer the same thing..  take care, Pam


we have been exchanging letters since December 12th and she answers all of my questions and seems interested in me.

In my point of view, if you can find a way to help her other than sending money, yes. Only answering your emails must have cost her a lot! \nShe must be really willing to leave Russia for freedom and love. If you can work out this relation you will find a girl for life. May be you can send her a travel ticket that cannot be changed or sold. Never mind about the money, at least you know she can't fool you.\n\nBut most important, do you realize that she will be relying on you for a home and that you will have to bear her expenses? If all this aren't problems, go ahead!

But I do believe that Tony Blair is a very smart man so if there was a conspiracy I don't think he had anything to do with it.\nI think of it like this: England doesn't have an agenda against Iraq like we had. and plus, if England was going to crack down on terrorism, they have a whole mess of it in their own back yard, why would they go to Iraq unless they really thought it necessary?\nit's possible Blair was led on, but I doubt it. \nI believe that the weapons did exist and they were smuggled out of the country before the war started. I mean come on, we told them in advance exactly when were coming.\nI think the war was started for good reason, but we went about it all the wrong way and continue to do so.


I really can't get an answer from any one!

Having a MRI when you have braces will not hurt you in the least.  It will not cause any ill health effects, and you will not feel any pain. \n\nBraces may cause distortion of the images, especially the part of the brain closest to the mouth.  This is also true on a MRI of the cervical spine (neck).  If you have a removable retainer or dentures, we would ask you to take it out prior to a scan or your brain or neck.   If your mouth has unremovable appliances, we just go ahead and scan you anyway.  \n\n"Objects that may interfere with image quality if close to the area being scanned include:  Dental fillings (while usually unaffected by the magnetic field, they may distort images of the facial area or brain; the same is true for orthodontic braces and retainers)."\n\nhttp://www.radiologyinfo.org/content/safety/mri_safety.htm\n\n"Fillings in your teeth, dental braces, and permanent bridges may cause some distortion of the MR image around the mouth area, but will not cause harm to you or the MRI equipment." \n\nhttp://www.uihealthcare.com/topics/testsandexams/magneticresonanceimaging.html

just wanting to know if any of you people out there think there is such a thing as purgatory or whether or not you go straight to heaven or hell and give your reason why if you could please.

I have mixed feelings on the subject. Personally I think it’s a concept that has an impressive historical record that I acknowledge as one of many possibilities. In the end you’re going to need to die to really know for sure. Also contrary to what many people here are telling you, Roman Catholics aren't the only Christians to hold on to the concept of purgatory as a teaching. \n\n\n\nFor those of you who don't know, Purgatory is essentially defined as: "a place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God's grace are not entirely free from venial faults, or have not fully paid the satisfaction due to their transgressions."\n\nReferences to a place of purgation (place where your purged of your sins) are made as far back as the beginning of the third century (by Clement of Alexandria) and are frequently referenced up to and beyond the bible's canonization (where they decided what books should go into the bible) in 390CE. While no direct references to purgatory were chosen in 390CE, it was acknowledged that the concept was worthy of incorporation into other church publications.\n\nWhen the Reformation came in northern europe, the concept of purgatory was something chosen to be dropped to help distinguish the reformers from the old Church. At the time the idea was being abused in some regions to encourage wealthy church patrons to help "buy" their way out of their sins. This is why many of the Protestant groups today are still contemptuous of the concept, despite it's importance to earlier Christian groups. \n\nThe second act of Dante’s Inferno deals with the concept of purgatory, but if you really wish to learn more you’ll need to read translations of the works of St. Augustine and other early Christian leaders. Dan 12:10; Zech 13:9; Mal 3:2-3; 2 Mac 12:42-45; Matthew 5:26; Lk 12:47-48; Lk 12:58-59; 1 Cor 3:13-15; Apoc 21:27: are some of the biblical passages which were included in 390 that many site provide for the existence of a state of purgatory.\n\n\nArmus

My best friend and I have been friends for 5 years, and I love her to death. We've been thinking about getting a place together, but i'm afraid being together so much will make me sick of her b/c I've realized sometimes it's nice to have a break from her after being together for a whole weekend or something. should I go ahead and shack up with her or not?

Moving in with a friend is a risky thing, especially if you are afraid of getting sick of her. It can make the best of friends the worst of enemies. I lost a best friend doing the same thing.


What if you caught your sister sleeping wit your best friend current man? Would blood still be thicker than water???

Have a talk with her and tell HER to stop and get a man of her own!  Does she feel  or percieve herself as THAT worthless  that she has to go after another girls sloppy seconds to feel desired?  Her and her clitoris may cost you your friendship with your best friend. Don't take sides with your sister in something like that! Just because she is your sister doesn't take away from the fact that WRONG is WRONG!  If she doesn't stop sleeping with the gentleman, inform your friend.  She will appreciate it as I'm sure you would if you were in your best friends shoes!


I have been unemployed a few weeks now. There are many jobs and I have sent over 30 resumes to everyone in town and out of town. My phone hasn't rang one time. Am I doing something wrong? If you have time, can you look at my resume and critique me? I am desperate and need some advice, which I take well. I omitted addresses, phone numbers, etc. to keep anonomous. Thanks in advance for your help...\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/dreamlander02/

Dear, I applaud your incentive to find a job, but the work you do to get a job must be the RIGHT work. So stop wasting time and postage. Companies recieve hundreds of resume's and references a week...it is a full time job for larger companies. NO ONE is going to call you. IF you want a specific job, do some research about that company. Learn the names of the owner/president, the name of who does the hiring...what the company does, and how you can benefit that company. NOW, call the person who does the hiring. Find out if any positions are open, what the are, what they require. Tell them that you are sending a letter of application including a resume'. Make sure the resume' is custom tailored to that company, not a generic resume'. NO ONE CARES if you worked at McDonalds during high school. They care only about what you can do for them...state it loud and clear...in a few SHORT sentences as the opening of the letter! The letter must be very short and to the point...\nHeader with name, address, phone and fax number\ndate:\nAddress: (of hiring person)\nDear MS/MR.......\nI want to work for your company in the position of ......\nI can do the job with very little guidence, and I learn very quickly. From what I have determined by my research, your company is exactly the firm I want to work with for the following reasons: (List as bullets below). \nI hope you are as interested in hiring me as I am in working with you and your company. Please feel free to call me about this job. I am available for an intervue at your descretion. \nSincerly...  \nNow, give it 5 days. Then call the hirer and asked if they have read your letter of application. BE persistent...that is always impressive to an employer. Be prepared to follow through. IF they say NO, NO INTERST, ask "why?" Any answers you get will help you with your next application. You WILL get a job, believe me. And, once you get the job, be the best employee they have...put in extra time, extra energy, treat the company as if it were your own...you will become a valued employee very quickly. I own a good sized company, trust me, I know what I am talking about.

bupropion is an antidepressant used to assist in quitting smoking

ZYBAN (bupropion hydrochloride) Sustained-Release Tablets are a non-nicotine aid to smoking cessation. ZYBAN is chemically unrelated to nicotine or other agents currently used in the treatment of nicotine addiction. Initially developed and marketed as an antidepressant (WELLBUTRIN [bupropion hydrochloride] Tablets and WELLBUTRIN SR [bupropion hydrochloride] Sustained-Release Tablets), ZYBAN is also chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, or other known antidepressant agents. Its structure closely resembles that of diethylpropion; it is related to phenylethylamines. It is (±)-1- (3-chlorophenyl)-2-[(1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-1-propanone hydrochloride. The molecular weight is 276.2. The molecular formula is C13H18ClNO·HCl. Bupropion hydrochloride powder is white, crystalline, and highly soluble in water. It has a bitter taste and produces the sensation of local anesthesia on the oral mucosa.\n\n\nto see the structural formula visit link


My family's a military family. Colonels, Commanders, and some just soldiers. But no matter their background, they always fought even if they didn't agree with the war they were in at the time. I feel that since, as a common people, we cannot change the war or do what we want with the war, that the only thing we can do is support the troops. Imagine how they feel when they see thousands of protesters on the news arguing about a war they are not a part of. If you can't change President Bush's mind, which we can't, then I think we should support the troops. You can't say you support the troops if you protest the war. It's contradiction. I don't care who you are. America's done so well because we've always been united. But here we stand divided on almost every issue. Might as well start uniting here. What do you think?

The whole purpose of protesting the war is because people don't want to see our troops dying (particularly when there is no reason for them to do so, other than expanding Cheney's pocket book). \n\nI can't think of anything that supports the troops more than that. Fighting for the troops lives is greatest support one can give. Protesting the war at home has no real effect on the troops in Iraq, they are fighting for their lives, and when fighting for your lives, a few obscure protests at home isn't going to make one bit of difference to you.\n\nThe mental problems troops have when they come home is primarily due to the effects of war as well. Either because they have been exposed to harmful chemicals/radiation (e.g., gulf war syndrome), or because they are devastated from what they have seen/done.\n\nI heard of young troop, for example, who committed suicide after returning from the war because he couldn't come to moral terms with the fact that he was ordered to kill an innocent iraqi child. His commander ordered him to shoot the child in the head, and he obeyed, and the psychological effect was too much for him to live with. Now his parents are actively opposed to the war in Iraq. \n\nWhat do you think devastated him more? People he doesn't even know radomly protesting the war? Or the fact that he shot a kid in the head at point blank?\n\n20,000 soldiers have been wounded in the war. Many of those injuries will criple them for life. What do you think affects these troops more? Seeing people protesting on the news? Or the fact that they will never walk again? Over 2000 troops have died. What do you think effects them more, protests at home, or the fact that they are dead?\n\nIf you support this war, you essentially support troops losing their lives, losing their ability to walk, having to get medical attention for the rest of their lives due to brain injuries (the most common type of injury in Iraq right now due to concussions from explosions, estimated costs are 1 million dollars in health care per troop over their life), dealing with the psychological effects of war, etc. \n\nThat isn't supporting the troops. Supporting the troops is demanding that they not continue to have to lose their lives, to lose their health, to lose thier minds, just so that some fat bastards can continue to get rich.\n\nAnd smcin, you don't have the foggiest clue what liberal media is. The mainstream media largely covers up the vast majority of stuff that is going on in Iraq. I bet you never even heard of the troops whom I just mentioned who was ordered to kill a child. Why? Because the mainstream media is corporate owned and they don't want you to actually see what is going on over there, apart from the obvious stuff they just can't hide. You want real liberal media? try http://www.democracynow.org \n\nSee what real liberal media is and then maybe that will help you see the reality that the mainstream is anything but liberal.\n\nLiberal media my ass. More like conservative media.


I have been very sick in the past, I have also been really well. Currently I am great. Happy kids, family and a great job. I feel my illness has provided me with a unique insight. I feel blessed.

dealing with an ex spouse who is bi polar, i can assure you it is no picnic for your family. For the families sake, take your meds always. Don't stop when you "feel ok" because you don't even know when your making everyone around you live with dr. jekyl/mr hyde. He did not take his meds and he made our lives a living hell.


If you do, what is it? Do you like it?\nIf you have one you don't like, what is it?\nDoes anyone you know, have a crazy nickname?\nps..mine is obvious...JoJo...and everyone just calls me that, as long as I can remember...and I love it!

Oh yes... when we were about twelve a few friends and i went drinking one of my male friends joked with another that he urinated in his drink bottle...i laughed and said ha pisshead.....amd whaddya know ten years later an hes still PISSHEAD


Hg C is a variant which moves slower than HgA

Hemoglobin C is a variant of hemoglobin that is not normally present.  It is a result of a mutation in hemoglobin genes and cannot be prevented or treated.  The result is a chronic anemia which may, for the most part, be asymptomatic (undetected) unless another factor brings it to the surface (e.g. an acute illness, a change of lifestyle, etc). \n\nThe effect of having Hemoglobin C in your red blood cells is that they will tend to break down more readily than those with normal hemoglobin, putting your RBC production rate in overdrive.  Normally, this will go unnoticed, but a situation which puts further stress on your RBC production rate will expose the limitation.  This will cause episodes of jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes) and fatigue under stressful conditions. \n\nOn a lighter note, because of the subtle chemical differences in Hemoglobin C structure, people who carry it are almost immune from contracting malaria. \n\nOne additional comment:  the percentage of you HbC suggests that this MAY not be the only hemoglobinopathy present in this case.  It is common for some HbC individuals to also have a thalassemia.  It could be a good idea to have that checked out, especially if you have African/Mediteranean lineage.


I think considering it's been on the air for almost 20 years (used to be a feature on the Tracy Ullman show in the late 80s), the show is great.  I prefer Family Guy these days, but the Simpsons still makes me laugh.  So given the amount of years, I'd have to agree with you.


Two daughters- 1(17yo),5'1 \nthe other-13yo,4'8-4'11 how much should they weigh?

Check out the Body Mass Index\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm


I'm including strings.h\nthen I have a string value stored\nthen I want this value cleaned from letters I don't want like ( , " [ ] { } )\nfor example if value="Test]"\nI want it to get out of the function value="Test"

Maybe you could make a method to remove certain characters from a string like string removeChars( string in, string chars )\n\nThe first param is the string you want to change and the second is the characters that you want to remove from the string. The method would use a for loop that loops through the chars string and in the for loop you would have a while loop that keeps on looping while the input string contains the character in the chars string at the index of the for loop. I don't think I said that very well, but the code might look like this:\n\nstring removeChars( string in, string chars );\n{\nfor ( int i = 0; i < chars.length(); i++ )\n{\nchar theChar = (chars.c_str())[ i ];\nint f = in.find_first_of( theChar );\nwhile ( f != -1 )\n{\nin.replace( f, 1, "" );\n}\n}\n\nreturn in;\n}\n\nThen, somewhere else in the program, you could call it like this: string cleanString = removeChars( "(in}[)]", "(){}[]" ); Then cleanString would equal "in".


It seems funny to me that the people answering almost always pick the answer they want to hear.  Apparently nobody is changing their mind from what they want to do anyway.

When you ask someone a question it is normally to validate what you already know. \nWhen someone says it thats what they want to hear


will a liquid uder presure shoot further if it tavels down a 1/4" pipe for a foot then goes into a 1/2" pipe for 8" and back into a 1/4" pipe for another foot? will the 8" of 1/2" act as some kind of a jet and force the water out further? or will the liquidd shoot further if its 3' of 1/2 pipe?

what the heck are you trying to do, build a flamethrower?  you need to use the venturi effect with compressed air to atomize your hydrocarbon.  don't try to just push it out, the mixture will be too rich.

is Intc a good stock? And is it true if microsoft goes down so will intc? thnx u

Well, INTC and MSFT are moderately correlated-meaning they  move in the same direction every now and then. However, INTC has had a relatively bad year while MSFT has remained flat to slightly positive. As for INTC, it has been beaten down hard over the 9 months or so. Currently, it is trying to "bottom-out" near $20 a share, and I do believe it can muscle itself to the low 20's. However that being said, I don't think it is a good stock, because you can find so many other, greater opportunities in the marketplace. Look at other industries such as financials, healthcare, and energy.

Noone can think straight when the air is too cold.\n\nI can't envisage a hairy 8-legged hard-skinned thingy crawling through my throat.\nBut one thing though, how could someone eats when there's a snake wrapping his head and block his mouth from any air least a spider.\n\nHope the less-than-livid imagination could propel your boredom away..\nHave a  nice day!


I have not seen my children in 6 years and the father has known my whereabouts the whole time. I was in a fatal shooting and was disabled for a few years, now it has been 3 years working and they want to take my money, yet there is no visitation established. I don't mind paying, but shouldn't the children know thier mother? The children currently reside in Ohio, and I am sure there is some interstate compact law, I am of liitle means and work part time living only on my income. I have thought about them for many years and have felt deeply,"Why am I not there?" It was out of my control  and I think I really need help with this!!! I was ill when all these court procedings to place and could not defend myself to establish costody/visitation.\nIf any one can help please email me. Thank you

Check your yellow pages under "Lawyers" and see if there is a Legal Aid Society.  It might be named differently in your area, but it is a group of lawyers that volunteer their time to help people that qualify.


I am looking for a web site that allows you to search and apply for government grants mainly ones for college but also some for first time hom buyers.  If you know a website that offers this for FREE and not a one time fee of any kind please let me know.

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.\n\nFor housing grants, you may also check HUD http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm\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\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html


how often does eclipse of the sun occur in a decade

There are on average 5 solar eclipses a year. However the majority take place over the ocean (because there's more water on the surface of the earth than land).\nSo an average 10 years should have an average 50 eclipses.


Does everyone let their friggin TV think for them and believe everything they hear or are they just plain ignorant?That's to everyone in here.

It is really sad to see how much intolerance there is in America.  I am embarrassed at some of the responses people give to questions like this.  In my life I have spent time around white, black, Asian, Indian and Mexican people.  I have met people on welfare, people who drive ugly cars, people who beat their kids, molesters, drug users etc.  I have also met hard workers, loving parents, clean cut, well mannered people from every background.  Reading some of these answers made me think.  I tried to think of the dirtiest, low lives that I knew of and I was surprised to find that they all happened to be white or born here.  The houses on my street that have immaculate yards and hardest workers living in them happen to be Hispanic families. Hatred is an ugly thing.  Prejudice is also ugly.  Ignorance is dangerous.  Jesus loves us all no matter what color we are...even when we judge and put down and hate, God forgives us.  Laws are funny things.  They change constantly.  Sometimes laws are fair and right.  Sometimes they are unjust and need to be adapted.  I believe there will always be hatred, intolerance and stupidity.  But I know that there are also people here that have love, understanding, fairness and God in their hearts.  Knowing that helps.


after her marriage, she feel thats her husband can do anything without worry of her fathers.

LOL okay...but just think.... \nWho do you think taught her to take your sox off to rub your feet? \nWho do you think taught her that she was more valuable than gold or diamonds.\nWho do you think taught her that a man is worth all the work she would have to put into him?\nWife's learn how to deal with husbands because of how they related to their father.\n\nMy father is the most wonderful man on this earth today. My husband benefits from that ideal of my father.

I have not had a cigerette in eight weeks and everyday is a battle not to smoke one, I could go buy an entire pack right now and smoke every single one.

You are way too cool ! My God, what an achievement. Eight weeks without a single drag! \n\nI have quit myself, and yes, the thought of a cigarette never goes away. But one thing helps me... maybe it will help you too. \n\nAs of now its been 2 weeks since my last cig, and whenever I feel weak, I tell myself that if I take a drag, the two weeks would mean nothing, my efforts would come to nothing. And I will have to start from scratch. Every day that I am able to say no to a cig, I go to bed patting my back and feel that I have achieved something big. I started smoking 14 yrs back. \n\nJust accept its a continuous fight. Accepting that will be half the battle won. Hang in there, you can do it !! You are a great inspiration to me.


should he call and be straight to the point and hang up??  sometimes the calls can get ackward...like nobody seems to know what to say after the initial talking.....should I say  by after it starts getting  slow???

I would be interested in chatting with other Recons, Asatrur, Khemetics, Sumerians, Helanists, or any other Recon religion.

A "Resconstructionalist" Pagan...is one who tries to worship as close as possible to the ancient ways as possible. This means Rituals that are as authentic as possible (ex...Ancient Egyptian Ritual, not modern rituals with an Ancient spin on them)\n\nBeing a "Reconstructionalist" can be hard sometimes...due to resources lost over the centuries, some resources being burnt or destroyed during the dark ages, etc...\n\nI try to be a "Reconstructionalist" in my personal path. I follow an Ancient Egyptian Path. Although I follow this in my personal path...not all Members of my Temple follow this path...so I have to have knowledge of both. :-)\n\nI hope this answers some who didn't know what a "Reconstructionalist" Pagan was. Also, to the author, I'll talk to you if you like.


Well you try using Mozilla Firefox. Its works pretty well against pop-ups, allows you to tweak lots of JavaScript settings and plus its faster and safer!


a small package is dropped from a hovering helicopter at an altitude of 490 meters. neglecting air resistance, how long does it talk the package to reach the ground?

use d=V1*t + [(a*t*t)/2]\nd=distance=490m\nV1=initial velocity = 0m/s\nt=time = ?\na=acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s*s\n\nusing equation above, t will come up to be:\nt=(square root)(2*d/a)\nt=(square root)(2*490m / 9.81m/s*s)\nt=9.99 sec or 10 sec.


My mother lives in the country, and she has a few dogs that run loose on her property since there are no leash laws (very few people live within miles of each other). Well the neighbor across the street threatened, in front of the kids (some very young) to shoot them. Well this morning, he shot my neices dog twice in the lungs. The dog is barely holding on and probably will be put down, which has devastated the children. My mom filed a police report and they said they can get the man on animal cruelty, but my mom on animal neglect for letting her animals run free. My mom wants to file the report still so he does not get away with it, but what consequences can she face for this? Also, is there anything, legally, we can do? This was very cruel and he did it out of spite and anger, and even threated the little kids with it so it was pre meditated. Please help.

If the dog was merely trespassing, but not a threat, then I (as a lawyer) can't think of any justification for what he did.  You're not allowed to shoot a trespasser if you're not in danger, so I don't see how he's allowed to shoot a dog.  I remember one case I read in law school where a man who killed a pet dog, intentionally and in front of the owner, was found guilty of "intentional infliction of emotional distress".  Plus he could be liable for the value of the dog.  You might be able to sue in your area's small claims court without a lawyer.  But you might want to wait to see if the police charge him, and then what happens at the criminal trial.  A verdict in the criminal case would help you in your civil case for damages.  Of course, you should consult a  lawyer for more advice appropriate to your state.


this is the crap that our children our learning???

Roger Waters wrote this on one of his solo albums- I think "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking"- I think he is saying that the education in our society sucks- All over the world we are fighting- and always have been - over religion or politics and "what for?"


Without spewing rhetoric. What makes you feel free. Your opinion, not something you read. How do you feel. Thats right you.

I felt free when I registered to vote. I felt free when I volunteered too work for the election of a local political candidate. I feel free when I get into lively discussions about religion, politics, history, etc with friends and family who have a different mind set (Sometimes radically different.) I felt free when I, free of any mental reservation, signed my contract with the Army and agreed to accept a commission as an officer in the Army upon graduation from college. I felt free the day my dad started his own business (just by himself in a cluttered 10 x 10 workspace with a computer and some filing cabinets.) I felt free when I saw his company grow from that to a thriving business with an office downtown, 4 employees and 2 company vehicles. \n\nI'm quite proud to say that political, religious, social and economic freedom are things that I have the priviledge of seeing on a regular basis.
