because he would know what he was sending our sons and daughters into. he would know how awful it is to see a friend die in front of you. he would even be able to plan the war according to strategic knowledge gained from experience. he would understand that no matter the justification for the war, it is a terrible experience for anyone to go through. he would have insight as to the nature of cruelty and injustice. he would realize that torture is abominable. if he was ever wounded, he would know how a bullet tearing through flesh feels. if he had firsthand knowledge of these things, he would be more careful about starting wars and signing the orders to send young people to die, become wounded, or to kill. this would also be important. if he knew what it was like to end another person's life, a person he has never met, to look a person in the face and shoot them, then he might consider this before sending a young person to perform such a serious task.


There is a local school that offers tumbling and my daughter wants to attend.  I thought I knew the difference between gymnastics and tumbling, but now I'm not so sure.

In gymnastics you have different things like the bars and vault and beam and so forth.  But tumbling is another name for acrobatics.  Acrobatics includes dance and everything is done on the floor.  You also don't have spring mats like you do in gymnastics.  The moves in gymnastics also have different names than the moves in acro (tumbling).


i received an e-mail that shows me a picture of a burned child. Tne e-mail says that if i forward this mail, money will be donated to the child`s parents. is that true?

No. It's a scam. There are a lot of urban legends and phishing scams out there that use that try to trick people to give money or continue spreading the word about a forward which wastes network bandwidth and people's time.\n\nWhen you get one check against snopes if the story sounds flawed. Check Symantec for things such as viruses and phishing scams.


I t ha sbeen brought to my attetion latly that I am serisoly lacking in the self esttem / self confidance department. Wel I have always known, but it has been an issue latly. What do you do to cain confidance? How do you become a more cofident person. I know if I had more confidance, I could be so much more.What do you suggest. I know that self confidance is something that you cannot buy or just gain over night, but I rally need to start gaining mopr e confidance before i go of to college and am on my own with out my best frinds and family. Ihope this is the right catogory...i had no clue what to place it with. Tell your friends!

Simply believe in yourself. You could do anything just as good or better than any other person, if you really wanted to.\n\nTake TV commercials for example, you've seen some pretty stupid ones before, right? And you probably thought, "I could do a better job than that!"\nAnd more than likely, you could!!\nAnd so it is, with most everything.


I seem to recall she had an "augmentation".  Is this true?

Yes she had beast implants if i recall right in the 90's...Have u seen her lately in her new video? She had a body tuck too. That woman is close to 50 and there is no way she has that body nautrally. Nothing is wrinkled or sagging! Gravity no matter who u are takes over by 45-50 i dont care how fit u are! So She probably had alittle lyposuction and a few other nip and tucks besides her boobs lol.


He swears nothing is going on, but if there wasn't he wouldn't be calling her and texting behind my back all the time!

You know the the differences when a man is cheating; when they feel they have to hide what they are doing when something is wrong.  At the same time what are you going to do. Guys always do what they want; they have control cause we let them. If you love him to the best of your ability; then you should have no regrets if you want to leave. It about control, build your support group around you. It all stops with you. Its going to be a time when you feel like you have nothing to lose - if he's already gone. IT don't have to be that way, life is what you make it. Besides its the begining of spring time; the parties are jumping


Say if I am trying to pick a realtor to go with to buy a new house. What should i be looking for in a realtor?

Someone who is trying to find the best home for your budget wise, and etc. So my advice is let them do the talking and see if they're asking you all the right questions. If not then they're probably not looking out for your best intrest. Remember they make profit off of you..so make sure they're doing there job which is to find you your prefect home!


Now, first off, leave the "church group" out of your answer.  Haha, if you hadn't noticed my screen name.  But I hate bars.  I've been going to a coffee shop and that's been decent.  But what else is out there?

Dog parks, go to small social gatherings, go to museums and art shows and you can try volunteering with some group. You will meet quality people at those places.


Whats there problem whats so wrong with being les,gay, or bi why are some people mean

I was called in this morning and was told they no longer need me. It is a small company and don't have enough money but ... I am hurt. I have a family and don't even know how to tell them. I am so heart broken as it is hard to find a job these days.

Sorry to hear that - send me an email with where you live and what you do, you never know, maybe I can find something....


I want to know because someone wants me to travel 50 miles round trip on business and I want to charge them whatever the IRS allows (in addition to my fee).

I absolutely love the rain. It started raining and I opened all the windows and feel very at peace right now. Does this mean I'm depressed?

not necessarily. maybe the rain and t-storms calm u down. my mom sometimes rolls down the window like that as long as it aint raining too hard. my sister too, but not me, i keep everything shut down during a t-storm just for safety. but if doing what u do makes u calm then keep doing so. we all have diff. ways of calming down. rain can be calming too :-)


Please state your views about the two nations separately.

both r developing contries.......both has enormous potential in the realm of energy.it's high time to put aside the differences and get moving.........


The temperature of our planet, heat absorption by certain gases in the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect, simply stated, is what keeps this planet habitable. W/o it, life as we know it, would not exist.\n\nGreenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc. all act to insulate the earth. These gases, however, make up a minute percentage of all the gases in the atmosphere. Less than one percent all together to be exact.\n\nThe planet Venus, has what we would call a "runaway greenhouse effect". Carbon Dioxide makes up most of Venus' atmosphere.\n\nGlobal warming, however, is an increase in average global temperature. How does the greenhouse effect relate to global warming???\n\nIt is not so much the greenhouse effect in itself but rather the increase of greenhouse gases that leads to global warming. Some scientists believe that humans have lead to an unnatural increase in these particular gases. On the flip side, there are other scientists who believe that this is a natural cycle, one of many that the earth has been though since forming.\n\nThere is a lot of controversy on this matter. However, I believe while we should err on the side of caution, I do not believe that giving up cars to ride bikes is the answer. Not yet anyway.

I answered one of her questions and the answer seemed a bit mean to her. I didn't intend to be mean only ppractical. Having re-read the answer I understand why she felt that way. I hope this does not cause her to stop asking questions here. I have sent her an email with an appology and good luck wish.

if she doesnt forgive you just forgive yourself and go on.some people cant take constructive criticism.maybe she can forgive you.i wouldnt loose any sleep over it ok.good luck and keep your head up. =)


What is the difficulty level of the workload, level of thinking, etc between for example, Harvard and Arizona State University?

First off, I went to Harvard.\nSecond off, I want to respond to the first asnwer on here, who talks about how the "Ivy leage was founded upon traditions of excellend, yada yada yada"\n\nlet me make this clear:\nTHE IVY LEAGUE IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE\nThat's all it is.\n"Ivy Leage" does not really mean anything about academics.\n\nIt just happens that all the Ivy League schools are very good.\nBut they are not equal.\nHarvard, Yale, and Princeton are consistently among the top 5 Unversities in the country.\nColumbia, Brown, Princeton, and UPenn are usually in the top 20 or so.\nCornell is not considered as strong.\nThere are several private universities which are better than some of the Ivies, and several State schools which are better than some of the Ivies.\n\nI don't mean to be obtuse about this, but I think the "Ivy League" has kind of a false reputation. People need to realize that all it really means is that those 8 schools compete against each other in sports, and that together, they are not the pinnacle of higher education. People should look at individual schools.\n\nNow, to actually answer your question about workload.\nI didn't actually feel that the workload at Harvard was that particularly difficult. And having spoken to my friends at several othe universities, including big state schools, I really don't think Harvard is any more difficult than they are.\nIn fact, I think some state schools are probably HARDER than Harvard. That's because at Harvard its VERY hard to flunk out. Pretty much the lowest possible grade you can get is a C. No one at Harvard gets Ds or Fs. Why is this? Is it because Harvard students are just naturally smart? Maybe... But many Harvard students, once they reach Harvard, develop bad study habits...just like students anywhere else. Many of them turn in sub-par work. A bad Harvard essay that gets a C could easily get a D or an F at a state school. That's because harvard wants to keep its retention rates and graduation rates high, and because most people are paying lots of money to be there.\nState schools dont care if they flunk people out, because their mission is to education the young people of the state, and there are always lots more who would be happy to take the place of those who flunk out.\n\nThat said, there's a lot of variability. Arizona State is probably easier than Berkeley. \n\nBut professors are professors, and no matter where they teach, they generally expect high quality work of students, or else they hand out poor grades.\n\nSo, in conclusion:\nI think the difference in difficulty between Ivies and state schools is neglible.\n\nRemember, too, that there is a huge range in difficulty between different departments within the same university.\nScience and engineering tends to be harder in grading than humanities. Thats a fact, whether you're talking about Harvard OR Arizona State.


We refinanced and took cash out so we can pay off our credit cards. My question is if we contact the credit card companies, will they reduce the amount owed if we offer to pay them a lump sum in order to pay it off?  Has anyone done this?  Is it possible?  Thank you.

they may negotiate the interest portion of the balance you owe. But- not likely... They would prefer that you just keep your money and make the minimum payment each month for the rest of your life.  What incentive do they get by taking less than the balance?  They don't want you to pay the account off. They gave you the account in the first place so that you would use it, keep a balance on it so they can charge you interest.  Why not just negotiate a lower interest rate.  If they say no to that, tell them you will be shopping for a lower interest card & do it & close your account.\n\nThe only situation that I know where they will eagerly negotiate and accept less than you owe is if you are in default on your account already.  They will then be more likely to take what they can get now instead of spending the money to try and go after you via collection agencies or court. Since you just refi'd your house I am assuming your credit accounts are in good standing though & probably doesn't apply to your situation.


My wife likes having me and another man at same time, and it also turns me on also, please any other ladies who like this, please tell us your stories, thanks

Yeah my husband does too.  I didn't think about it till it happened.  Now we do it every once in a while so we keep it not boring.  Plus, it's intense sex.  You guys take turns, she can go on and you guys take breaks and watch.  It's live porno and it's you wife which makes you want her more.  I think it's normal.  Enjoy it and have fun!


now people use drum machenes and simlpe crappy bass lines but still they make more money than the people with soals who put effort into there work and the only resion they are famous is becouse some people think there "hot" and then people that want to be popular too say "i like that band also" and thats the only resion why people like them, why is that?

because people have to actually look at them now, and the retard population is expanding at great speeds


I am seeing a woman who is currently not interested in a commited relationship but does want a casual relationship.  I'm undecided as to what I want to do b/c I want more from her than just a casual acquaintence.  Should I just go with the flow and "get what I can get" by continuing to see her, or should I cut my losses and move on?  P.S. I'm 27 years old so please, mature & objective answers only.  Thanks.

casual dating is the WORST!  my best friend was in that position b 4.  It basically means that she will have a date with you on the nights she cant get someone else.  sorry to be the bare of bad news, but thats really how it is.  if she wont be serious with you now, the feelings wont grow and their isn't a future.  she will stick w/ you for some action on the lonely nights.


you can do whatever you wnat in the usa until you try\n\nthere is no god just a man we called god\n \ncristanity is not the oldest religion

From the bottom:\n\nChristianity ISN'T the oldest religion. This is a FACT. For one thing, it's a splinter sect of Judaism, so that had to come first.\n\nWe never called a man 'God' - there was one we called 'Jesus', who may or may not have been the Son of God and possibly part of a Holy Trinity meaning he also was God...but we never actually CALLED him 'God'.\n\nI've only ever been to the USA for a week-long holiday, so I don't think I can accurately judge what can be accomplished there.

I need a general formula! Here's the given hint:\nthe number of submatrices of a n by 3 matrix is 3.7=(2^2-1)(2^3-1)

There's something missing in that hint, there must still be an 'n' in there somewhere.\n\nTo work out the general formula:\n\nThe number of 2*2 matrices is (n-1)(m-1). The number of 2*3 is (n-1)(m-2). The number of 2*4 is (n-1)(m-3)... and so on until you reach (n-1)(1) = (n-1)(m-(m-1))\n\nSo the total number of 2 * j matrices is\nSigma(j = 1) { (n-1)(m-j) }\n\nThen the number of 3 * j matrices is\nSigma(j = 1) { (n-2)(m-j) }\n\nAnd so on, up to\nSigma(j = 1) { (1)(m-j) }\n\nThe sum of all these gives the number of i * j matrices as:\n\nSigma(i=1 to n-1)Sigma(j=1 to m-1) {(n-i)(m-j)}


Does it try to disprove the bible?What is the smile behind the Mona Lisa?Is there an extra person in the Last Supper painting?Please help me with the ?

The secret behind the Da Vinci Code is that it's claims are flat wrong and that the major basis of has already been proven bogus and manipulated.  \n\nIt tried to disprove the bible.  Dan Brown claims that:\n\n-"The Bible is a product of man...not of God." (Page 231)\n-"The New Testament is false testimony." (Page 345)\n-"The New Testament is based on fabrications." (Page 341)\n-"The Bible... has evolved through countless translations, additions, and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the book." (Page 231)\n\nIs there a woman in Leonardo’s Last Supper?\nLet’s do the math. Jesus and twelve apostles (all men) = 13 people. That’s how many people are in the picture. If Leonardo wanted Mary Magdalene in there, he would have to paint 14 people. \n\nLet’s do the history. The Last Supper was painted to decorate a dining room of a group of Dominican friars. Anyone of them was surely capable – especially when the painting was fresh and new – of noticing and asking why a woman was in the painting. But there is no record of anyone thinking that the figure to Jesus’ right was anyone but St. John because St. John was usually portrayed as a beardless, “pretty” rather than handsome youth. This “prettiness” was the artist’s way of highlighting his youth.\n\nLog on to www.wga.hu, click on Enter Here, click on “B” under “Artist Index,” scroll down and click on Bassano, Jacopo, scroll down his paintings and click on his Last Supper to get an enlarged view and see another young and “pretty” St. John.\n\nOr just think of Jeffrey Hunter playing Jesus in the “King of Kings” for a modern counterpart.\n\nAllow me to refer you to websites that would provide answers to your questions.

Catholic easter is on 16/04/06,\nOrthodox is on 23/04/06

The Orthodox church still calculates Easter according to the Julian Calendar.\n\nUntil 1582, everyone in the world used the Julian Calendar (which kept slipping a bit, because it was too long).\n\nSince then, people started adopting the Gregorian calendar (at different times in different cultures). Even until recently, some countries used the Julian Calendar - for example, Russia's October Revolution was actually in November.\nThe Orthodox church held out longer than most, mainly because the Gregorian calendar was developed by their old enemies/brothers the Catholics (it's named after Pope Gregory 13th).\n\nThe Pravoslavnic (and some other) branches of the Orthodox church still actively use the Julian calendar for other festivals as well, so their Christmas is also on a different day.


whats the approriate weight i realy feel overweight,how can i loose it fast without expensive dietes and gymprogramms

you are no where near overweight. If you really want to lose some pounds start walking every day.

Most people who think they are overweight but really arent just dont have enough tone.


The docs have found 3 nodules in my thyroid and tomorrow I am getting a needle biopsy. Has anyone had a needle biopsy in their neck before?

Yes, I have had an FNA (Fine Needle Aspiration) on my thyroid.  That's just a fancy term for a biopsy.  They told me that I had a 4cm sized nodule on my thyroid and that I would have to get a biopsy.  I was so scared.  The only part that hurts is when they numb the thyroid before performing the actual biopsy.  It feels like a burning bee sting. Then, you can feel nothing.  It's realtively short and sweet, and all that's left on your neck is a tiny, tiny hole.  It's less than when you get blood drawn because the needles (yes they will use several needles on your neck to take samples, probably about 4 or 5) they use are so small. I waited a week to get my results and they told me that they didn't get enough samples and I would have to repeat the procedure.  Apparently, this is common.  So, I went in again, and the doctor told me that there was nothing there to biopsy.  Apparently what the ultrasound people saw was not a real nodule, but was actually inflammation, and with use of the Synthroid, they had gone down.  I was beyond relieved.  He said that the tissue of the thryoid is so different from any other tissue in the body, that sometimes what they think they see as a nodule is not really a nodule.  During all this though, I did a lot of research, and I found that having more than one cancerous nodule, is not common.  If you have more than one nodule, then it is usually inflammation.  Don't quote me on that though, that's just what I remember.  My advice to you though, is to ask whomever is performing the biopsy their opinion on your nodules.  Do they really think that it's a nodule, or does it look more like inflammation? They might go ahead and perform the biopsy anyway, just to make sure, but at least you can be comforted in getting different opinions as to whether they think it's cancerous or not.  Don't worry, it's not too painful, it's just uncomfortable.


the startup is very slow and the startup programs take long time to load and some times some of the programs are not loaded either.\nhowever , once the system is ready it works normally.\ni have tried freeing disk space , defragmenting and all types of scans\ni am having P-4 at 2.66Ghz and 128mb ram and using ca-etrust antivirus by acer\ni upgraded the xp to sp-2 via internet

all of these are good ideals ----HOWEVER try this first...\n\nit is called PREFETCH----also ADD RAM\n\nWindows XP's Prefetch folder stores information about each program you launch; then, on subsequent restarts, XP uses the information in the folder to preload parts of those programs at boot time. Clean out the Prefetch folder periodically to keep boot times from dragging.\n\nOne of Microsoft's big selling points for Windows XP was that it loads applications much faster than its predecessors. To accomplish this feat, Windows XP uses what is called the "Prefetch technique," in which the operating system gathers information about each program that you launch and stores that information in the \Windows\Prefetch folder. Then on subsequent restarts, Windows XP uses the information in the Prefetch folder to essentially preload parts of those programs at boot time. Thus, when you launch your application, it appears to load really fast.\n\nHowever, the Prefetch folder can accumulate too much information over time. This makes the operating system so busy loading bits and pieces of lots of applications into memory that it ends up slowing down the boot process. Fortunately, you can clean out the Prefetch folder at any time. Follow these four steps:\n\n1.       Access the Run dialog box by pressing [Windows]R. \n\n2.       Type Prefetch in the Open text box and click OK. \n\n3.       Press [Ctrl]A to select all the files. \n\n4.       Press [Delete]. \n\nAs you use your system, Windows XP will rebuild the contents of the Prefetch folder.\n\nHope this helps - might be some what of a solution....A+, MCSA, CCNA, Security +, Net + (the reason i know this answer)

if you have read Judith Guest's Ordinary People, what are some themes you picked up?\nI read the book and i currently have Communication, Growing Up, and dealing with Guilt

The name of the book itself is a pretty big hint.  "Ordinary People" means that what happens in the book could happen to any family.  People may be different in many ways, but we all have one thing in common; we are all susceptible to feelings of guilt; we have all dealt with "coming of age" (another prominent theme); and any family could be hit with the devastation of losing a loved one.


I had a miscarraige, had to have a DNC, and that was about a month ago. I went to the OB-GYN and got the shot, and ever since then, I have been bleeding. It isn't like period blood either, it's brown, and sometimes it gets darker. Sometimes it isnt there at all. I'm SCARED MAN!!!! someone help me

Call or go back to your doctor immediately!!


a very good friend(0f 7 yrs) was staying over for a night.he lives with his steady girlfriend(who is very sweet) in another city. That night,he made a physical pass atleast twice and well, i subtly refused by ignoring it.well, he understood my refusal and that was the end of it.But, it has been really disturbing me! Do men always need more than one?Well,it's not going to affect our friendship however but i'm never going to forget this.What is this thing with men?!

Given the circumstances, I'd say he was just wanted a quick peice.  If you've been friends that long then I'm sure hes pretty comfortable and confident around you so he saw you as a perfect candidate. He must've been a bit drunk or thought for some reason you would be cool with it(did you invite him to stay the night?) Guys can have a hard time reading signals unfortunatly. But chances are hes pretty embarassed about it now and regrets what hes done. I've seen the most honest guys cheat, just some guys cant control themselves in certain situations. I know I've felt the pressure before, sex is a big deal to alot of guys.


While I signed up to defend the right of people to protest, the people that you see in the news, such as the recent protest in New York, that's not the kind of person I want to be defending.  They do not know what they are doing to the morale of the troops.  And more often than not, they are not even educated enough to make a solid argument against what we are doing.  It makes me very sad to see the people that the armed forces are defending holding signs that promote a terrorist agenda.  What are your thoughts?

I too took an oath to defend this country over 18 years ago and hope to be doing it for 24 more years until I am 60. Most of the protestors are ignorant of the situation of what is really going on. They read and watch the Associated Press, CNN, and Fox news, it is misleading them. All they want most of us to see is the bad in everything. Not what is really happening. Most of the people protesting are idiots and ignorant persons to begin with. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the Democratic National Party paid them to do it. Any thing to make our President to look bad. They forget about one of their own.JFK was a democrat and also got us involved in Vietnam, lost over 55,000 Americans in that war. They didn't call that war illegal. What makes Iraq illegal? Nothing. They forget that the President has the sole power to control the military the way he wants to. Whe wouldn't be at war now if the Clinton adminstration would have taken care of it in 1993 and in 1997, insted of banging interns, while his gay wife was stealing money from the tax payers in Arkansas. Why else would she run for the Senate in NY. Cause she is a crook!\n Try not to let the liberal tree huggers get you down. What you don't see is the Millions of Americans who support you and me and the rest of our Military Forces around the world. The reason they host that rally in NY, cause they know that in the Mid West and South, that they couldn't get as many people to show up. The Majority of our nation support us. No matter what the press says. The press is for whoever is winning at the moment. Kind of like France. But we won't go there. Keep your head high and remember, there are horses butts all over this world and most of them are Democrats that support the gays and the drunk Senator from Massachusettes.\n You must remember, The Unites States of America has the best, all volunteer armed force in the world. Not to mention the oldest. It's roots go back to the Minute Men that are now the US Army and US National Guard. Be proud of your country and overlook the jerks and ignorant who no nothing of the sacrifies you make to be in our nations military.


If a homosexual accepts Lord Jesus Christ into his heart,, but does not want to change his lifestyle, can he / she still go to Heaven?

If that person does not change their lifestyle(If they continue have homosexual sex)NO,they will not go to heaven.\n\nIf that person does not want to change their lifestyle,they are not showing very much love for Christ,are they?\n\nEven if a person could not choose what they were born as,they can choose not to sin.\n\nIf someone tells you they are a Christian homosexual and they do not abstain from homosexual sex,then they are lying to you and themselves.\n\nIf Jesus could go through the torture he went through for us we can abstain from sin for Jesus.


The last girlfriend I had was always trying to copy everything I had and even tried to steal my boyfriend.  Why must we be so catty with each other???

women r just like that(nasty) that's why u keep them away form your man she just hasn't grown up yet


The loans people get before there paydate and are supposed to be used for emergencies only, are used for long periods of time(more then a year). Sometimes people default on these loans becuase they get to many, maybe around 3 or 4  the problem is that based on there pay the loans are issued. People's paychecks are altered even bank statements or they go to 3 or 4 different payday places and apply, get the loan and since the system that is used will report but not until later that day, and some companies do not report the issuence of a loan at all. Eventually they dfualt  then poeple are sued 3 times the amount of the loan, wages are garnished and a report is sent to the credit agencies. Mainly its to much work on a $300 dollar loan and its frustrating when we have to call for collections, people get upset all of the time, but  you took out the loan you where not forced now pay it!!

The government I guess who would thought huh


I was just wondering, because I plan to go into that field. How much does it vary from person to person? What is the employment rate like related to the degree?

I had two friends go to school for that graduated from Pitt. One is working as a Dental Assistant and the other at a Sams club. Personally i would double major with film and busness or something with it incase you cannot get into the field... also my two friends were not willing to move... New york or California or Detroit or Flordia, GO were the most action is but i am still advising to double major


If you could pick a Tom Hanks movie and replace him as the lead actor who would you choose and why?

umm - Cast Away ... i liked that, and to replace him in that I would pick Andy Dick just cause he is such a weird person who could carry on countless hours of convo by himself.. although the movie would then suck cuz he is a crap actor


I mean its more than just feeling all weird inside... when does it stop being, "man, I really like this guy" too, "aaah! I'm in love with this man!"?

if you're missing him and he hasn't been gone for more than 10 minutes....if he makes you smile and he's not even there...if you can't go a single minute without thinking about him... then you are in love


I did some freelance web design, and they'll be paying me soon. Even though I wasn't an employee, will that cause my unemployment benefits to cease?

If you make over $650 for the year, it will be reported to the IRS for tax purposes. Which can result in you paying back your unemployment, maybe being penalized.\n\nIf less than $650 the earnings will not be reported & you'll be fine.


how does debt consolidation work and i was wondering if you can do it with an old banruptcy and do you have to add all your debts to it like credit apt. debts or just the ones that are pressing you to get paid like monthly bills

There are two types.\n\nThe first is a consolidation loan.  Pretty much just like any other loan, but they take into consideration that you are actually going to remove your current debts.  If you have a bankruptcy against you already, you probably won't get this type of loan UNLESS you get one from a company who secure the loan against your home. BUT be careful, if your not good at repayments (no offense but it doesn't sound like you are)m then this could be dangerous, because they WILL take your home.\n\nThe second is more of an agreement.\nA third party organization look into your current finances. They agree with you how much you are capable of re paying every month.  They then contact all the companies that you owe money too, explain your situation and ask the if they would work with you and them in coming to a repayment agreement.  This will include stopping all interest and late payment charges.  You then pay a lump some to the organization, who then give each company the amount that was agreed to be paid each month.\n\nThis services should be free to you, so make sure you find one that is. They make their money from the collectors. They would rather have some money make than no money back.


its for a project and i have to put them in a shoebox. thanks

the notebook, the uniforms, the article, the briefcase, the tv, the crystal thing he bought in the Prole store where the guy rented him the room, the bed, that's all I've got.


I'm just looking to tone my body up. Especially my abs but I need to burn the fat off first. Which one is better for faster results?

The calorie counters on treadmills indicate that you'll burn more calories there than on an elliptical.  But it is probably heavily influenced by how hard you're working.  If you are working hard on an elliptical, you'll obviously burn more cals than if you're strolling on a treadmill.


how do you listen to a persons breathing

Use a stethoscope to listen to the lungs. Place the device posterior (on the back side) to cancel out any noise coming from the heart beat.


like Hendrix played guitar.  I can go inside, go outside, nail the 3, mid-range jumper, deadly accurate hook shot from ANY range, i can post you up, i can blow past ya and leave ya in last week like a sucka.  oh yeahhhhhhhhhhh, i be da man!!!!!


in NYC many students and workers wont be going to school or work... and remember this is not just for illegal immigrants this is for all immigrants.

well  i dont think  its right and if i owned a bussness  my butt would keeep it opened cause there will be some places closed down and  boy  just think of the money that can be made ,  and  just think of the workers thaat walk out of te hospitals and when the walkers need  medical attention or a family member needs  it dont get  it rite away  , y because they walked out and  put lifes in danger ,  im this way  on the  imigration law , if u r here or gonna be here  be here legally , work for the pay that  your state dems minimum wage  or higher , learn how to speak english as well as understand  english , nothin like going into a place of  bussness and  u ask for help and  they say me dont understand english , i have this  done  by both hispanics as well as orentals or  native islander  its frusteerating when u try to get help and  they dont understand u .  but if there gonna be here be here legally and   get a job that pay minumum wage or higer so that others  can get the jobs  to ,  of course  pepole are willing to do the jobs that illegals  do but y would they higer americans  when they can get the work done cheaper  , thus alowing more  money in there pocket well the economy and unemployment rate goes to h e l l


I am now confused why see put down "confused". Is she just stupid. I am a great student, and she puts down confused what the ***. I work hard very hard.

As someone who used to teach I would say this is an inappropriate comment to make as it is so open to misinterpretation. \n\nComments on reports should be concise and should also be indicative of what the student needs to do next. Don't become despondent. Talk to the teacher and ask her to explain what she means. \n\nUnfortunately there are some teachers out there who make inappropriate comments and there is nothing we can do about them!  \n\nIf it's any comfort Albert Einstein was described as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams." \n\nSo who knows what you can do with being labelled confused you may be the next Albert Einstein!


Why do I get so jealous? Whenever I see my girlfriend talking or smiling at another guy I'm ready to go ballistic. I know, it's just her friendly nature and there is nothing going on but I'm ready to fly into a rage when I see her talking to another guy. She doesn't know that I feel like this. I do a good job of keeping it concealed.

Jealousy is inflicted by insecurity. What I would recommend is getting some counseling, you don't want to end up blowing up one day, because you can only hold your feelings in for so long. That sort of jealousy is not normal.


Do anyone know where I can find a script for the Gilmore Girls episode 6.18? The Real Paul Anka?

Okay, you are the pilot are major aircraft and your plane is scheduled to reach Ireland in 16 hours.  One of the passengers is beginning to become uneasy about the trip.  The flight attendant asked what was wrong.  The passenger stated that she is having a hard time trying to figure out the time difference between Ireland and Virginia.  The flight attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then  another passenger spoke up and said that he was from Illinois and Virginia is 1 hour ahead of him.  The plane took off from O'hare airport at 9:00am and it takes 16 hours to get to Ireland.  What is the name of the pilot?


the influence dancehall has on youths to do criminal activity.why do they do these things.

False.\n\nChildren are violent for the same reasons adults are violent.  Rage, Anger, Hatred, Ignorance, Fear etc...


I think everyone means something different under the word 'love'. I think love is when you want to spend every second of your life with the lucky person, when you accept him/her the way he/she is - with all their mistake (and vice-versa). When you stand by the person through all the good and hard times. This is just very brief - but I hope you'll consider it... So, what do YOU mean by love?


Why such an angry response?  Abbas was a peace maker and cosillitory to both Israel and Hamas.  Is Israel trying to start a conflict?  Israel so dominates the area that its useless, what do they have to gain?

Didn't Palestine make it's choice?  They chose a leadership that refuses to give up it's stated goal of "driving Israel into the sea".  You want them to stand still, continue to be attacked, while Palestine and the rest of Islam holds up a paper governement whose onlyt goal is to say, "Don't attack me, I didn't attack you!  It was individuals!  And you can't attack within my country without me saying so!"\n\nWho are we kidding?  The U.S. offered help because Islam wants to dominate the world, always has.  Israel has kept to their borders (pretty much, and when they didn't, like the Suez canal, we jumped on them to move out!).  Israel has no stated goal to destroy any other nation.  Israel has been repeatedly attacked after every cease fire by Palestine which cannot control it's own people.  If Palestine won't control it's own people, Israel cannot do less than retaliate against a government that through it's own inept and criminally negligent behavior allows attacks on neighboring regions.


this is a simple question. do not use scientfic terms. plan layman language

They are similar in that they are both chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons.  Think ring carbon structure and then oxidizing it with a powerful oxidizer like chlorine.  Also, hey are both insecticides that are stable or persistent in the environment, hence their bad rep.\n\nDifferences.  Hmmm?  DDT has five chlorines while dieldrin has six.    DDT has two rings (derived from benzene)but they are not fused, while Dieldrin has two fused rings (derived from napthalene).\nI'm sure there is more, such as they mode of reaction, but someone else will have to help.


i need to write a function that generates a random integer to the variable X within the range (-3>=x<=11)

Try this:\n\n#include <stdlib.h>\nint foo (void)\n{\n   return random (15) - 3;\n}\n\nThe function call "random (15)" returns a random integer between 0 and 14. Subtracting 3 from this will return a random integer between -3 and 11 as required.\n\nHope this helps!


What are your thoughts on the movie United 93. The movie is about the passengers that retook the hijacked plane during \n9\11???

So I have a spanish oral exam I only have to talk for 5 minutes with a partner and that was fine, difficult but fine. Well my partner didn't show up for class for a week and a half and I had no way to contact her. So I never got a chance to practice with her. So now I think my professor is gonna make me talk to her!!! Her name is Hernandez a native spanish speaker!! I dont think this is fair, I admit I suck at speaking it but how is she gonna grade and participate? What should I do? SHould I try to fight it? And we have 17 topics that she can choose randomly?

I would get my mom or dad to go to my defense and ask the teacher to give you a different assignment to do alone since your partner is no longer available...\nYou are right, if everyone else has a partner to practice with, you should not be alone on this...\nFight for your rights...\nAlso, ask for more time to prepare...

Which one of the Process is best for high performance how can we identify which one is good. Thank You in Advance

Pentium 4s are the current top-of-the-line Intel processor, the Centrino is used in notebooks and has built in wireless capability, Celerons are considered budget processors.  For example:\n\nA Celeron at 3.2 GHz will run slower than a P4 at 2.66GHz.  This is because the Pentium processor performs more work during a clock cycle.  However, Celerons are more highly overclockable and can actually be decent processors.  There are P4s, the P4s with HT, the 64-bit P4s, the p4 dual cores (extreme), and the PentiumD dual cores.\n\nCentrino is not the name of a processor or a computer, it is the name given to the combined technology within the chipset and processor of a notebook PC.


he just cant seem to get me off...even though he last a long time...before i got married..my ex boyfriend could get me off before he got it all in..he didnt last long...but he could get me off 5 times before he did...whats the difference?

Maybe you're too worried about the fact that he's not getting you off, which is detering you from getting off...know what I mean?  Whether he lasts a long time or not has little to do with a woman getting off....personally, after a while I just get bored....


Do you think the age you’re considered an adult should be younger than 18.\n? What age do you think it should be?

In most states you are considered an adult when you turn 18. However looking back on my life I was anything but an adult at 18. To me, one should not be considered an adult until one is deemed to be responsible. By that I mean one is willing and able to take care of ones business. To meet ones obligation to the community, family, and ones self. If a person drives like a maniac and endangers their own life as well as the lives of other, is that responsible? If a person continues to get into debt and cannot pay it is that responsible? If a person neglects or abuses their mate, is that responsible? If a person acts like a bully and their only answer to conflict is violence is that responsible? There is a lot to being an adult, much more than being a certain age. Adulthood is a state of mind not a chronological event. Just my two cent, or two points as it were.

So many defend President Bush vehemently; almost as if they think everything bad they see on the news about him is propaganda, the 38% approval rating doesn’t exist and that anything anyone says negative about him is a lie. \n\nObviously I’m a “flaming liberal”, but I’ll admit when a politician in my party makes a mistake. \n\nOn the other hand when the news reports are favorable, the approval rating is for President Bush and people are talking positively about him, they use these same resources to praise him.  \n\nCan a Republican please explain this logic, and try to refrain from calling me names and yadda, yadda.

I'm an old-school Republican, and I'll tell you right now I can't stand Bush. a lot of so-called Republicans like him because they don't know what the GOP even is.\nI don't think Bush is a conservative Republican, I think he's a wealthy white man who calls himself Republican. he is not really going after terrorism, he is doing NOTHING for New Orleans, he doesn't give a flying flip about our economy, he isn't cutting any taxes, in short he's just a richer version of his dad.\nRepublicans need to get back to basics, as much as some of you guys are going to hate this, people like Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter are the soul of the GOP.\nI make this prediction: Hillary will win in 2008. And the GOP will go back to its roots or it will not survive.


Ultimately I know this is my decision, but there's this girl that really wants me to join her team, and I want to, but at the same time, I have no transportation to the meets and I'll be going away to college in a few months.  I want to join, but it seems like things aren't in my favor here.... plus I have no way to get there.

If you really want to i think you should try it and if you dont like it then leave i guess. It wont hurt you to try. but if you are really busy and would like to go to college more than join the roller derby then do that.


No idea. You could check out this site though:


I'm trying to figure out how many times a someone has to complete an eye/hand coordination task before it is learned and can be repeated without concious thought.

Through the years, I have heard that once something has been taught, it can be learned.  the more the repetition, the better the chance of learning.  However, I have also heard that when you mis-teach, it takes 74 times of the new teaching, on average to undo the incorrect information taught before.  As far as eye-hand learning, that depends on the person, and situation.  How many times does a person need to fall forward on their face before learning to put out their hands and break the fall?  Amazingly more often for some than others.

If i worm has eyes hoe come you can't see them? If it doesn't have eyes how will it see the birds with large talons?

Worms live in the dark .Do they have eyes? How do they react to light? Worms don't have eyes like you or I have. But they do have photoreceptors that detect light. These are mostly concentrated in the anterior end. Have participants test to see if worms can detect light from dark. (Put a sheet of paper over one end of the tray and see if the worm can find it.). Or, often the worm will crawl under the wet paper towel, which in itself indicates it is seeking a darker space. Try sprinkling dark dirt in a winding path on top of the wet towel and see what happens. The worm will follow the trail of darkness stopping where the trail stops.

Renter's insurance is great for any trip.  Unlike home owner's insurance that covers lost or stolen or destroyed items specifically in your house, renter's insurance is designed to cover your belongings where ever you are because you do not own that house.  Plus, it's usually cheaper.  Bring what you like, but protect it.

My girlfriend's parents know that she got a affair with me. oh,, both of us are doing our A/L exam in then next month so we don't meet until our exam finishes. All we do is send msgs or call. But now parents don\'tlet her to use the phone. But they give her the mobile phone when she go to her french class. The thing is that she does not lel me to call her at that time. when i ask why she said her brother always check the phone credit. Should i belive this ???? ANYWAY I KNOW SHE LOVE ME A LOT

How is she having an affair with you when you don't meet?\n\nYou're just playing around with messages and there's nothing awful about that.  It certainly isn't love though.  \nYes, on a cell phone, whoever calls you will show up so if she doesn't want you to call, don't.\n\nIf you two care enough about each other, play by the rules and it will eventually work in your favor.


See http://www.dreamscape.com/morgana/godquiz.htm\n\nI've checked up on the claims, they are all true.

The Jesus myth was not established properly before the roman emperor Constantine collected the writings of the different cults and defined the New Testament at the council of Nicea. Mithra was adapted to Mithras, a roman God, so Constantine knew all about the Dec 25 virgin birth and the last supper etc etc. Romans tended to adapt gods instead of getting rid of them completely. Aside from that, the Jesus tradition is very much inspired by the original Iranian mythologies. Thought-provoking to think that so much about Jesus is just adapted, older myths...


i want to take screen shots from some music videos i have so i can use them for an image project im working on but im not sure how to take a screen shot and make it a jpg, bmp or any oter pic file

Most video cards, when they play video, put it on a separate layer that doesn't get captured by the normal 'PrtScrn' function.  However if you open up Windows Media Player and click on 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Performance', try lowering your Video Acceleration settings.  This should switch the video rendering over to software rendering and make it so you can capture the video with 'PrtScrn'.  Don't forget to put it back to full when you are done capturing...\n\nIf the video imports into Windows Movie Maker, then you can use the 'Take Picture' feature to make a snapshot.  Import the clip into your collection with File > Import. Then play it and pause it where you want it.  Then use the little camera icon below the preview.\n\nBTW, I just found a great step-by-step 'tutorial' on the process of capturing still images from video.


Today Sunday April 30, 2006 was the 1st pay-per-view after wrestlemania 22. What were some favorite matches, least favorite, unexpected matches, or any other opinions about Backlash. Feel free 2 write ne comments about Backlash.

Saw it, and some of the matches came off badly. The HBK vs. McMahons match was a waste of time and a disappointment for fans...the lame pre-match God related stuff Vince did was unnecessary and is turning off the fans. Plus, they didn't let HBK do another dive onto Vince & Shane, which angered the fans further. This feud will culminate at the next Raw PPV with HBK soundly trouncing Vince & Shane, or possibly with Shane's help. \n\nThe main event was a huge disapppointment. Thought sure they'd let HHH take the belt...but don't worry, he will very soon. And it's not just a coincidence that both HHH and HBK are flashing the DX sign. Look for a mini-DX reunion in the future.\n\nThe ladies' title match ran short because Trish hurt herself after Mickie botched a move causing Trish to land hard on her shoulder. If you watch the replay, Trish flashed a sign to the ref, who told Mickie James to end the match by getting DQ'd. You notice that after the fall Mickie didn't grapple Trish hard, she just started "choking" her through the 5 count. I think this was supposed to be a title change... but they will reschedule it for TV or maybe the next PPV. Trish isn't hurt that bad.\n\nThe Matt Striker/Eugene/booger thing was a waste of time but the show was running a bit short so it made a good space filler.\n\nLook for a Kane/Big Show reunion sometime after Kane's movie premieres. This whole current storyline between them is nothing more than hype for the movie.\n\nShelton vs. RVD was good, but I think you should see RVD lose either the belt or the money in the bank contract...he won't keep both. I'm thinking he'll keep the belt and lose the briefcase to either Shelton or perhaps someone else they want to promote. Shelton was getting played out as champ and the whole "Big Mama" storyline was lame...so they killed it by having Shelton's "mom" go in for surgery of some sort. I'll be very surprised if she ever comes back. Shelton's character needs some help...maybe by turning bad guy it will give him some good heat from the fans.\n \nOverall, I'd say it was an entertaining PPV but had many disappointments...definitely not one of WWE's best.


Today a classmate and I were discussing vegatarianism.  We had a substitute teacher and I thought it might be a good idea to ask the teacher for his opinion on the argument.  These were the teacher's exact words, "God created animals for us to eat."  He then went on to say that animals do not have free-will and they have no feelings because it says that in the bible.  I go to a public school and teachers are not allowd to teach creationism.  I'm concerned that he is going to teach this to other kids.  Do you think I should make a big deal out of this or not?

I wouldn't make a fuss about it.Parents influence their kids when it comes to religion.No matter what the teacher says,the child usually believes their parents anyway.I heard one kid say "I don't believe in Evolution because my mamma told me it was false".However the child must understand that he doesn't have to  believe the theories,but he must still learn them.\n\nJust let it go.He was a substitute.The only time you should report him is if he dimisses facts and evidence that he is suppose to teach.His thoughts of them doesn't matter as long as he teaches his lessons.He only gave his opinion.It's not like he made a quiz based on what he said.\n \n\nedit: \n \nAnd I disagree that God made animals as food just for us.Animals eat each other for food and to some animals we are food for them.Every living creature is food for another creature.Humans don't only eat other animals.Other animals were around before we even came along.If  the Specie who was the top of the food chain at the time had our intelligence,they would have thought that God made animals as food just for them also.\n\n Evolution is not taught as fact,but as a theory that is supported by evidence.Creationism doesn't have any evidence to support it;that's why it shouldn't be taught in science class.\n\nChristians always criticize the evolutionary theory as if the story of creation has better evidence to support it.Life and earth is not evidence.Anyone could have made a story of how life and earth came about after the fact.\n\nAnd they should not prohibit the teaching of evolution in school.It is taught as a theory that is supported by scientific evidence.There are many scientific theories.Should they be omitted also? No.It's science.Science isn't always about proving something absolutely true.It is also about finding evidence and coming up with a theory.A theory isn't a theory unless it has evidence to support it.

I always watch tv and see all this nonsense about how race doesnt affect where u go or who u r, but thats all lies because even if we try and fake the love and peace, the world will never be at peace... I used to have hope but its gone. Sometimes people of the same race attack each other... It is really sad. I wish there was a way to live together in peace.

i don't know, but everyone is created equally from my point of view


Yes, and then we will move on and kill everyone else in the middle east.  After that, THE WORLD. (Evil cackle)  How old are you, kid?


I believe that nature allowed us to have a higher intellegience, therefore eliminating the need for inherent weapons. Why else would every animal on the planet have some sort of defense mechanism, yet we don't have fangs, claws, or even protective fur. If we were to physically fight any given animal, we most certainly would lose without the aid of a physical weapon(stick, rock, knife, gun). Take even your average farm animal.. a cow. Cows have no fangs, no spikes, and certainly no claws. And yet, if you were to go head to head, you likely would lose, do to the animals shear strength. The only chance you would have is to use you larger brain, (and opposable thumb) and grab a weapon of some sort.

I've been looking at the Wilson nVision, all the specs and everything, and it looks perfect for me. The only thing I'm wondering is, when I looked at the specs at the Wilson website, it stated "The ultimate tweener racket". I just wanted to know what that meant?

there are basically two main kinds of rackets. \n\n1: heavy, normal sized "players" racquets. these are control-oriented racquets made for skilled players who have the strength and skill to provide their own power. in fact, pros weigh down their racquets even more than most heavy (12 oz or so) racquets. these racquets are good, and accurate, but many poeple believe they are too heavy and unforgiving for a less experienced player. \n\n2. player improvement racquets. these have oversize heads and light stiff frames that supposedly allow players to put more speed on the ball. also the larger heads are supposed to be more forgiving with a larger sweet spot. \n\na tweener racquet is a compromise between the two. not as wildly oversized as a player improvement racquet, and not as heavy as a players racquet.\n\n(my personal opinion is that everyone should buy heavy players racquets as most people will have the most problems keeping the ball in, and dont need a powerful racquet.)

At the time, it was in response to the Savings and Loan implosion.  Several small Savings & Loans had invested reserves in poor quality securities and became insolvent when their investments failed.  FASB responded by making companies show more of their activities in security investments on the income statement.


What do you think of the mind of our present Pope Benedict the 16th about the matter? I am confused on whether they protect the predator or the abused?

The Anglican are no better. Especially in the Boy Scouts.


With the Latinos and other illegals protesting on May 1, how about us "American" protest eating at Mexican restaurants on May 1 and May 5th. Put a pain in the pocket book of the ones that are suppositively here legally. What do you think?

Good Lord, why make a fuss over it. One day won't even make a shadow on the economy, Chill out. Fire up the grill, invite some friends and have a nice cook-out. Relax. I'll be working as usual. I'll buy gas as usual. I'll grill some chicken out on the deck and take it easy. No problem.


I was born in 1990 and I never had experiences in the 1980s obviously but I watched many old movies and TV shows dated back in the 80s. Soon, I became very curious and wondered what life is like in the 80s. I visited the 80s nostalgia websites and I became obsessed with them! Sounds fun they were in the 80s. I just wanted to ask one thing... What life is like exactly in the 80s? Fun? Wacky? Regardless of the technology, which do you prefer...today or the 80s? and reason why? I'm even reporting my interests in the 80s in class, too! I hope you share your experiences with me and the other Yahoo users about the 80s.

dude, i was born to answer this question. i loved the 80s. you really do not realize how much you miss something until it is gone. as with everything, age gives one a perspective. while living inside the decade, i didn't know i really cared. i'm not one to blab on and on, so i'll try keep it short. one of my very first memories is of the miracle on ice. i also remember hearing about john lennon getting shot. the significance of both was lost on me until i was a bit older. flew to LA to see the olympics in'84, the soviets boycotted since the usa did in 1980. Carl Lewis was the man. so was evil kneivel (sp?), that guy had big brass balls! \nwhile in school, the space shuttle Challenger blew up before my very eyes while we were watching the first teacher, christy mccauliffe, lifted into space. There were attempted assassinations of pope john paul II and president reagan.  there was always an air of fear due to nuclear arms and the cold war. the soviets were the enemy, that was that. watch the movie 'red dawn' for a perspective. it blew my mind when the berlin wall fell and so did the soviet union. I knew i was a witness to history, very cool. ronald reagan was the president. and since he was the president during my formative years, and i was taught to respect the office, love or hate the man, he was the example all the others had to live up to. i vaguely remember the iran hostage situation that preceded ronald reagan being elected.  \nmusic wise, my older brother was punk and I loved punk, ramones, dead kennedys and black flag to name a few. i was not a big fan of the electronic music, e.g., flock of seagulls, human league, until i got older and i realized it was a soundtrack to my youth. I was there when MTV started, i saw the first video they aired, video killed the radio star, or whatever. madonna's playboy issue was highly sought after. i used to be abe to run into the store to buy my father cigarettes, and a pack was less than a dollar! so much to talk about, i could go on forever.\ni miss the 80s because of the nostalgia, i was young and innocent and it seemed that the world was too. when you get older, you will miss your past and hopefully be passionate about it as much.


I am a late bloomer comparing to my classmates and friends. I got my period at 13 and a half while most of my classmates got it at age 10 to 12. It is so annoying when I get these every month and I am usually stressed out during it. I usually have a large amount and my period usually last about 7 days. But most of my classmates’ periods only lasts for 4 to 5 days. Is it normal to have 7 days and is there any ways to reduce the amount? Thanks!!!

I'll worn you, I'm a guy, so I don't know from experience.  I have though, listened and asked many questions of my female friends.\n\nIt is common to be 'stressed' during your period.  My 24 year old girlfriend is almost always stressed, but I think she brings part of it on herself (your hormones are in flux, and you can't help that).  My female friends that are the happiest are the ones that accept and embrasse their periods, they think it's great that they get to bare children and guys don't.  It's all about attitude.\n\nAs for your flow, the amount varies A LOT.  One of my friends simply 'spots' your underwear, but another one has so much flow that she's gone into the hospital because she was scared (they sent her home).  The same female states that on her worst days she gets light headed.\n\nThe below link says 3-7 days is expected.  As for reducing the flow, I can't help.\n\nRead Rites of Passage in the below link.\n\nhttp://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0906923.html\n\nOh, and when you get older and get out of this culture that wants to keep everything a secret, you'll talk openly with your friends about it.\n\nGood luck and congratulations.


if you were in love with a girl for 8 years and both of you  {you and her} start to make love same time i mean both of you still virgin and you were serious to marry her , but she left you , and after 4 years you met another girl on the enternet  and you and her fall in love and you are positive that she is the one you want to spend with her the rest of your life and she will give give you her soul so after marry and you open her virginty you will have the same feeling you had befor with your ex gf or you will have another feeling when you make with her the same positions you did befor with another one ? and what you will do when you know that the new girl feel jelouse that u touched another girl befor her and she will have the only first feeling when you open her virginty and you will have it for scond time ? you will leave her or what?? thanks for every one will give me his opinion and sorry for my bad language or wrong spell! bye

First of all, the second girl (the one who the guy marries) should not worry about what happened previously, she's got him  NOW.  That is all that matters.  As long the guy treats her like gold, she should not worry about the past.  The past is the past.  The girl should look toward the future with her new husband!


from juicy women who are very stupid ..as long as ya get ya share back off

men can do without  woman and woman can do without men\nsex and love arent everything


my brother called me a tranny and my mom flipped out! she really got mad and said that she wasn't supposed to tell me till i asked... I don't know what that word means though. If it means im gay... well that explains alot, but the way mom reacted... i don't think that is what it is. she already knows that "gay" thing.

A tranny means transexual - a guy who's becoming a girl or vice versa


The other night my car alarm went off waking me up.  I grabbed my pistol and went to investigate.  I found 3 guys stealing everything in my car.  I put them at gun point told them to stop and get on the ground.  They looked at me and grabbed what they could before they just took off knowing full well that if I shot them I would go to jail for murder.  Is this right that criminals can just dont whatever they want and the law protects them?

Because of bleeding hearts that feel sorry for criminals


okay, 8th grade prom is nearing at my middle school, should i ask the girl i like now, or later?\nshe lives near me, so what should we do?

You should ask her. If you truly like her you'll ask her. Be brave


Do you think it has anything to do with feasting and the need for more food in colder weather?

When you say most religious holidays, what religion do you mean?  *No* Moslem  holiday falls during the winter.  In fact, no Moslem *date* falls during the winter!\n\nJewish holidays fall during the growing season--at the beginning, middle, or end of the summer.\n\nOf the major Christian holidays, one is a winter holiday, and one is a spring holiday.\n\nSo I have no idea what religion you're referring to!  (I know less about other religions, so I can't comment...)\n\nP.S. to gollum--of the three religions you mention, only *one* was born in Arabia--Islam.  Judaism and Christianity both have their roots in the Land of Israel.  It is to the north-west of Arabia, and with a much less desert climate.

My boyfriend and i have been together for about a year and a half and we have a great sex life except it feels like the spark in bed is fizzling out, anyone have any ways to spice it up in the bedroom? serious answers only please

**Buy Satin Sheets...Or any other thing different for the boudoir. Keep in mind that the colors red and peach are romantic colors. Add some of these in the bedroom. \n\n**Initiate Sex! If you're not the one who usually does this it can be a big turn on for your partner. Just pounce on them when they get home! It works every time!\n\nI don't believe that love dies, but I do believe it can go very stale as time goes by. Relationships take work and most people just don't realize that. Bring some of the romance back into your lives. And hopefully you'll be happily ever after! \n\nGood Luck!


i'm doing a paper and i need to know specific examples of how social staus can effect a person. example: because of o.j. simpson's wealth he got off free, president clinton had an affair but because of his social status it was over looked. i need SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from TODAYS WORLD! please help

OK, I currently make a little under $100,000.00 a year.  I live in a 3000 sq ft home.  I have two cars, one of which is a Mercedes.  I have quite a bit of money in the bank and a rather tidy stock portfolio.  I have all the toys I could wish for and then some including a home theater projection system, high-speed internet access and a stereo system that can wake the dead.  If I lost my job today, I wouldn't have to worry for at least 2 years and could maintain my current lifestyle.  Or I could liquidate everyting and probably never have to work again at all though it would be of a necessarily lesser lifestyle.\n\nIt wasn't always that way.\n\nIn 1977, I earned less than $5,000.00 per year.  I supported a wife and son in a tiny garage apartment with nasty furniture.  We drove a 12 year old junker of a car that burned more oil than gas.  We had a tiny black & white TV that picked up two stations.  We didn't have a telephone or cable TV.  We ate lots of boxed mac & cheese (10 cents at Winn-Dixie) and cheap hot dogs.  If I lost my job back then, we would have been on the streets within 2 weeks, probably "living" in that old Dodge Dart.\n\nOwing to lots of hard work and sacrifice, I got from the "there and then" to the "here and now."\n\nI consider my reality to be much more valid than OJ's.  My guess is that he put on a bunch of weight and that the glove failed to fit as a result.  His money was a contributing factor, but not the primary one.


To say that you are 'JUST' a housewife is seen as something of an embarrasment  Alot of other women will look down on you because you have no career.\nYet isn't important to make a good home. Housewifes do a lot of work that goes unvalued. The estimated value of unpaid work worldwide in 1995 was said to be 11 trillion dollars.\nIsn't been a good house wife hard? and a valuable profession?

Because a lot of people do not realize that it is not easy.  Also, many women do not realize that to be a modern woman means that you have many choices available to you.  One of those choices is having the blessed ability and choice to stay home and take care of your family.


I have noticed some people who answer my questions and respond to my answers on immigration and politics often seem to believe me to be a racist, which I am most certainly not. I take such comments very personally. Yet I have been accused f it several times, usually by the same people over and over. So, what's the deal? Am I really a racist bastard, or do you just not like what I have to say?

They are trained to yip like that from the time they are puppies. Don't let it get to you. That's what they want. You are a Great American Patriot! Abrams kick A*S!!\n\nPS - Your Eagle is almost identical to a tattoo on my arm. I've been looking to touch it up a bit - that background's great! Could you e-mail a pic of it to me? That is what I've been looking for! God Bless the USA, Brother!!!


i have painfull period can some one plz tell me how i loss from the pain and if is any herbal drug for it?

Almost all women have some cramping during their periods, classified as either primary dysmenorrhea (which refers to "normal" menstrual pain) or secondary dysmenorrhea (which is a result of an underlying disease or disorder).\n\n"Normal" cramps occur in almost all women due to the release of prostaglandins, which are hormones produced by the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). Prostaglandins cause the uterus to contract (sometimes quite painfully) in order to expel the menstrual debris (and henceforth, start the period). Some women produce higher levels of prostaglandins than others, so they may hurt more. \n\nHOWEVER, killer cramps are NOT normal and are in most cases due to secondary dysmenorrhea. Most frequently this is because of a disease or disorder like Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, cervical stenosis, structural abnormalities in the vagina or uterus itself, fibroids, etc. If your cramping disables you, see your gyn to talk about options for diagnosis (for example, of Endometriosis) and treatments.\n\nNon-steroidal inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen may help relieve cramping...your doc can also prescribe oral contraceptives that will prevent ovulation and reduce prostaglandin production, thereby alleviating cramping. \n\nUse of heating pads, avoidance of salt, sugar, alcohol and caffeine, intake of vitamin B6, calcium and magnesium supplements, and pelvic massage are all said to be helpful as well. \n\nIt is important to determine if the cramps are "normal," or if they could be due to another cause. Pain that is crippling is never normal and should be investigated ASAP so that appropriate diagnosis and treatment can be rendered. Hope that helps.


Okay, Im 19 live in TX and the girl I am seeing is 15 with her birthday on January .... before you start bashing me please realise all we do is talk.

If I havn't done anything is it possible for me to get locked up?

what do you rate a better acheivement Makybe Divas 3melbourne cups which are Handicaps or Kingston Towns3 Cox Plates at WFA?

I think that Makybe Diva's record rates higher but there is nothing in it as either record will be hard to toss.\nM.D.= 3 Melb Cups over 3200m(2 miles) carrying 51kg as a 5yo,55.5kg as a 6yo and 58kg as a 7yo. She deserves the accolades.\nKingston Town's record of 3 Cox Plates over 2040m(approx 1 &1/4 miles carrying 57kg as a 4yo, 58kg as a 5yo and 59kg as a 6yo. Though the records are 23years apart they are both CHAMPIONS


How about believe with reservations instead of unconditionally believing. There are so many arguments that support the belief in God and many good ones that refute his existence. Is it bad to be agnostic?

That would be faith...or ignorance.  Depends on how much thought goes into it.\n\nPersonally I view faith like this:  If someone believes in god, the bible, etc.  More power to 'em!  However, if you present a different point of view, and they cover their ears, close their eyes and scream, "Lies!"...that's not faith, that's ignorance.\n\nIf they ignore your question and quote the bible...the same book they know nothing about, that's ignorance\n\nIf they KNOW they're right and you're wrong, that's ignorance.\n\nIf they believe in God with knowledge, understanding, acceptence, and reservation that while their faith is absolute, that there are other possibilities, or that we are too ill informed or lack the understanding to comprehend the workings of the universe...that's faith.\n\nTo be agnostic, like I am, means you don't have faith.  Personally, I don't have a clue what's going on.  I know the bible isn't accurate, we've proven Genesis to be wrong 100x over.  However, I do agree with many of its teachings.  How did we get here?  Dunno.  How does life work?  Dunno.  Is there a God?  Dunno.  Is God as the bible describes?  Probably not, but dunno.  Good news about being agnostic is it allows you the freedom to think and examine.  You're not stuck in an organized religion that recites the same thing to you day after day.  Your free to analyze and accept that there are somethings you just don't know.  On the one had its very liberating.  On the other it carries responsibility because you don't have something to blame, or to believe will take care of you...you lose the "knowledge" that everything's under control.\n\nSo, I'm all for agnostic.  I'm comfortable knowing that I don't know. I LOVE studying theology, laughing when a religious person avoids thought, and learning when a religious person makes a good point.\n\nFor examples:  Look to spur4eight.  He'll make intelligent arguements for Christianity.  I disagree with many of them, but hey...that's faith.  For ignorance, look at Mainworry.  He'll ignore questions completely that require any sort of thought towards religion, and reply either with biblical quotes or insults.


Help! I never played soccer before but I really want to play on the team! What should I do? It would be obvious that I wont pass tryouts since I'm a 'rookie' and most of the people im going against have played soccer since they were really young.

I got my laptop from office Windows Xp SP2  have to press ALT+CTRL+DEL and it had my user name password and domain.\ni messed up the domain in trying to use my home printer.\nNow the start sign on page when the computer starts has only user name and password and the domain label as well as the choice has disappered instead it has only user name and password . When I type in my password it shows an error and the computer does not let me log in.\nWhat to do.\nI have just joined the company a fe dyas back so wold like to resolve this on my own

See if there is an "Options" button on the login, try hitting it and see if the domain box appears.\n\nIf it doesn't, then your computer is no longer a member of the domain. You'll have to take it back to work and have a domain admin re-join it back to the domain.\n\nAs a standard user, you will not be able to join it yourself. Even if you had the rights to re-join it, you won't be able to do it from home. You must be plugged directly into the network to re-join.


what can i do to speed it up again its on broadband and theres no viruses?not to clued up on this side,,any suggestions would be good,cheers all!!!     :)

There are several things you can do.\n\n1) I agree with the above answer; memory essentially leaks out slowly if your computer is on for extended periods of time. Restart the machine to zap back the memory.\n\n2) Clear the temporary files. Sometimes your computer misses temporary files its supposed to delete. An easy way to clear out any stragglers is to run a search on your computer for "*.tmp" This brings up all temporary files and allows you to delete them\n\n3) Check for spyware. Sometimes spyware gets on your computer without you knowing it. They are often hidden from view and can slow down your computer and even leak personal information. Clean out spyware with a spyware scanner. I suggest using both Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware. (you can download them when you Google the titles i have listed above)\n\n4) Remove any unnecssary files and programs. Keeping your hard drive from being chock-full allows files to be accessed and saved much more easily.\n\n5) Defrag the hard drive. After deleting unnecessary files, run a defragment on your hard drive. This will allow the computer to access files much more efficiently. (Defragmentation could take a while; allow some time for this. Leaving the computer to do this overnight is a good idea)\n\n\n\nIf all of these have absolutely no use whatsoever, it may be time to upgrade your RAM and/or hard drive.  :-)\n\nHope this helps.

I am a new teacher and am trying to decide which area of education is best.  I'd like to have creativity and flexibility in planning lessons, good administrative support, and adequate funds.  Which type of school would be best?

Having taught in all three types, the best answer I can give is...I don't know.  \n\nIn my experiences, as long as you're teaching the basic goals/objectives (which would essentially be the same anywhere), how you get it done generally isn't an issue unless you happen to have a principal that demands things a certain way (only run across one like that before).  I've been able to do all kinds of things in all three types of settings.\n\nAdministrative support seems totally dependent on the people in those positions, not what type of school it is.  I have had a horrible and an amazing principal in public school, and can say the same either from personal experience or in talking to others about the other two types.\n\nAs far as funding, I live in the St. Louis area now, and spent most of my life in Kansas City, MIssouri, so in speaking from those places, private schools made much less, while public and charter schools were close to the same, although districts and/or schools did have differences.  You will likely find that rural schools pay much less if you look in that direction.  \n\nI can't really say my time in charter schools was my favorite.  It seemed that many students came to them after they had been big discipline problems at their other schools and wanted to try a different school, although the problems usually carried over.  Public schools can be frustrating at times, because there are many hoops to jump through at times, especially when it comes to standardized testing, some thing private school s(at least around me) aren't required to do).  \n\nI'm not sure if this is much of an answer, but I hope I at least pointed out a few things from the view of where I am anyway.  Asking around can be a great thing, as teachers will generally tell you the straight truth about the place they work.  My best advice would be to find a school that you find yourself comfortable in, both in your teachers, and your principal.  You will always find enough teachers that you can get along with great at any school, but the principal can be more difficult.  If you click with that person, you should have it made as long as you do well at your teaching.  Best of luck on your career!


Does anyone know why Florida Power & Light have to be so mean? I know people having a rough time (us included). They won't even allow a TWO day extension? Plus if you're late and you have GOOD reasons -they know they'll get paid, THEY ADD AN ADDITIONAL LARGE DEPOSIT TO YOUR ACCOUNT? Talk about kicking someone when they're down. A lot of people are struggling right now. Our issues are circumstances beyond our control including a lost job (not fired), health issues and much more. I just find them to be mean and cruel. I've talked to others who agree.  What about you? Any issues with Florida Power & Light? Please share them.  Thank you.

I was on FP&L for several; years and never had any real problems with them. Like most utilities they know that they have you and you can't go to a competitor so you are stuck with them. In Florida you can contact the Atty General and they will look into the case and usually come to some resolution, but by then you have melted from the heat. For quickest try Children and Families they can sometimes intervene on your behalf if there are children or seniors involved. There are other places and the best way to locate them is to look up the number for an orgization named First Call For Help. they are a referal group and can often put you on the right track.


I appreciate that most come from cockney rhyming slang but nobody has been able to tell me where this comes from and why. Any ideas?

This is beacuse the first man ever to win at 3/1 ( Oliver Corn - Cheltenham 1876 ) was actually betting in order to get enough money to buy a carpet for his lounge . It turned out however that he had been misquoted by some , frankly , mischevious carpet salesmen and had to return the next day as they had only supplied half the carpet - the rest being offered at an extortionate price - You've guessed it - at 33 times the price - hence the double carpet addage .


Besides sex whats everyones favorite way to burn calories?

Cross country skiing is one of my favorites. In the summmertime, nothing beats backpacking. The longer the trip, the better. (Besides, you can eat as much as you want and still lose weight when you have to carry all your food hiking.) ;)


I have been eating low carb for 3 years now. I have lost 117lbs doing it. HOWEVER, my body is so use to it, I am in a TRUE stall. I haven't lost anything in 4 months!!!! I haven't gained either, but I still have 40 lbs to loose! HELP! I have tried all the tricks. Going back to only 20-30 carbs per day, cutting out cheese and nuts....all of it. I started going to the gym to increase my activity level....nothing. Any advise would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks! Becca

Don't despair, you've done GREAT so far and stalling like this is perfectly normal.  It sounds like you've made all the dietary changes you can make, so I suggest you focus on keeping up your activity level and/or boosting your metabolism.  \n1) Keep up the exercise, and look for ways to incorporate more movement into your daily activities.  Every little bit helps.\n2) Green tea or green tea extract is believed to help the body burn more fat and carbs.  It's worth a try.\n3) Try not to stress out too much -- I suspect stress helps to keep us fat.  \n4) CONGRATULATE YOURSELF.  You've already added years to your life and vastly improved your quality of life.  Way to go!


As stated by katie, there is no " x ". However, check this out. 4n/5 * 5 = -8 * 5\n     4n = -40\n      n = -10 \n\nPretty simple as you can see. Good luck !


I want to take a picture of my background with the icons, askbar, everything.How can I do this without using a camera?

Has anyone used this and if so what were your results?  Did you feel energized while using it?

Forget the supplements. Drink authentic green tea for the best results.  Curbs appetite, antioxident and many other benefits!


Take in mind that I did not take it in Freshman nor Senior year - have never taken the SAT I.

Well.. yes you still can take the SAT. I would have advised you to take it before now, since many colleges have already had their application due dates, but still. I think the last possible month you can take it is June, and it's usually held on the first Saturday of the months until then. I would suggest taking some practice tests beforehand, make sure to visit www.collegeboard.com for exact dates, and to sign up. Good luck!


If Iran and the United States were to go to war next month, who would win?  Take into account that the U.S. miltary is stretched very thin now and the U.S. defecit is almost at 9 trillion.

Hmmmm, lets see, a military armed with the most advanced technology on the face of the planet, versus a country of cavemen..........Can I have some more time to think about it?

i am still in love with my sons father who i have been split up with for almost 3 years


I have had Postpartum Depression for a year. I am on medication which has helped calm the mood swings, but I just don't feel as though I am on the road to recovery. What helped you the most and when did you know that you were going to be okay?

It's a long road.  Sleep deprivation is the worst part because it can make depression and mood swings worse.\n\nHopefully you have the support of the baby's father and / or family and friends.\n\nBe sure to see a counselor or religious figure (priest /clergyman/pastor/monk) to discuss any issues that may be holding you back from making real progress.\n\nI knew it was going to be OK when I started to take some time for myself and I wanted to be around the baby and was happy to see her and not just feel tired and cranky with the baby.\n\nI highly recommend hitting the gym.  Really work out as hard as you can.  It really helps to focus.  Sound body = sound mind thing.\n\nBe sure you are eating well, it can be hard when you are depressed, also make sure you are getting plenty of vitamins.\n\nIf you feel that you really haven;t improved then visit your doctor or health care professional to reevaluate what medication you are taking.  They may have to change it or tweak the dosage a bit to make it better for you.\n\nThe worse part about PPD is that people don't take it seriously and they tell you stupid platitudes like "you'll be OK" "the depression won't last forever", etc.  When you are in the middle of it sometimes it is the last thing you want to hear.\n\nTry to take care of you, only then will you be able to effectively manage taking care of your baby.  Don't cut out the things you like to do, recruit someone to help you get the time you need to be yourself again.\n\nI hope that you get better and you do find that road to recovery.  If you need someone to talk to who has been there (twice, I have 4 kids now) then please email me.  Good luck!  My prayers are with you :-D


Underrated= George Mason (that's a no brainer)\nOverrated= Gonzaga (or at least I think so)

Underrated was definitely G. Mason, no doubt.\n\nOverrated?  How about any team from the Big Ten.  At least Gonzaga made it out of the first weekend.  They were a three seed, they were supposed to lose in the sweet 16, which they did.  Not one team from the Big Ten got to the Sweet 16 even though they supposedly were the top rated conference.  That's overrated.
