an exam.\n\nwhat channel is it \nwhat time (give me GMT time so I can calculate)\n\n(I can watch many channels from the net. like shanghai tv, goal tv, espn asia and stuff.)

Well, of course it is! But where exactly are you from? Here in Canada, TSN scheduled a replay of the final, tomorrow at 7:30 pm Eastern time (which is Thursday 0:30 am GMT).\nAnd if you can't attend the live broadcast, why don't you tape it?


No offense to anyone, but I've had people tell me that my avatar weirds them out.That chafes my feelings a little bit.It's an Ernest Herbert painting and I find his portrayl of Ophelia to be very beautiful.I chose the black and white version because it shows up better than the color one.So what I'd like to know is what constitues creepy?

Wow, the color one is really different! \nI think they are both disturbing, but Ophelia is a disturbed character.  This work communicates a bit of insanity, but there's also power in that chick's eyes! \nI think when people say "creepy" they're referring to the fact that the black and white one looks a little ghostly, but it's still appropriate and beautiful.  F^ck folks that can't handle it!

I can't believe I'm even asking this question but let me first explain. My boyfriend and I had sex last night and he came in me. We waited about 10 minutes and had sex again. After we were finished I noticed he had white foam on his area. I felt it and it even had the consistency of soap when it foams. Is it possible that if you have sex with someone after having come in them that the force could cause the come to turn foamy?

I've never seen that to tell you the truth. I know a womans cum can look a little more "foamy." Maybe it was just the mixture of you and him that looked a bit strange.


South Afirca will go through to the second round because there team has a good experience and they are on their home so any thing can happen. Even you have rule them out they still came up fine.


..:S I know this might sound odd, but sometimes, when I feel like I have to pee, I dont actually have to go. But the feeling that I have to go is always with me. Sometimes its hard for me to fall asleep when this happens. Is this normal?\nMy dad used to tell me that my pee was tricking me when this happened when i was little. I could sit on the toilet for hours and nothing would come out. Please help, its slightly irritating...


How do i get a girl that i really like and i think she sort of likes me. i  want her to go out with me.

try to approach her in a friendly way first


I'm not a latino so I will go with the 2nd answer. According to the law of supply and demand a labor shortage is a good thing for laborers, it makes them valuable, there are many examples of this happening in history. Has having plenty of people who will work hard for low wages helped the economy of mexico?

i think not,they come here to make money to go live in mexico wealthy, they dont care about the usa,they just want the american money.......


my ques is that which is having more vast scope ba eng hons or engneering in india??actually i m intrested in eng hons but i m confused now

Look... I had the same problem 6 years back after my board exams... English was my favorite subject but living up to the prejudices of others i took up Biotechnology. Today I'm working in a IT company as a content developer where you need to have good creative english writing skills... its tough to get in but if you have the flair in you u can make it... So... the question is English honors or engineering... \nEnglish honors means following up with a MA or Mass Com. degree or may be a MBA. But preferably Honors students choose to be lecturers or opts for long term research plans like Phd, post doc, etc. If you have dreams to become a teacher or get into research line its good to do a Honors... but then again research in english language is not much popular in India... You can opt for International exams but especially in US and UK its tough for arts students to get a seat 'coz they somwhow believe that Indians are not good in english!...I'm sorry for that but reality bites.\nComing to engineering degree... B.E or BTEch degrees are hot cakes... be sure to get a placement after 4 years provided you have a good academic record. But trust me, more than academic record, you must have good interpersonal, presentation and communication skills. I have seen many of my friends with over 85% aggregate still sitting jobless... or not satisfied with the company they work for as they lack such communication skills. Now, since you have a keen interest for taking up english language, it can be assumed that you have the flair for english language. So, if you take up engineering... it wont be tough for you to get a good job placement provided u brush up your communication skills befor you enter the interview room ( thats after 4 years)... \nSo its upto you... if you want to start earning and get work experience right after your graduation take up engineering... and along with your course do some other technical certifications... its the hottest and most reliable thing in India right now.\nOr else... if wanna be a teacher or persue research work in places like academy of fine arts or some other international universities take up english honors... but keep one thing in mind... when it comes to earning and getting established in life... this a much longer and at times a frustrating route compared to engineering.\nI am telling you all these coz during my time I had no one to guide me... make a practical choice and let me know if you need any help.


its a project im doing. only web ads please and wish me good luk


I took an NWEA test on the computer at school today and I was curious when I finished to how I did. So how is it graded?

It is a very tough question you asked my dear friend and for this reason i think no one gave any answer yet. So i suggest you to put your question in google or yahoo search engine and you will get many links for your answer. Try the followings :\n\nhttp://www.google.co.uk/ \n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/


I recently remarried in March, I have two children, he has none.  Naturally, the baby questions are popping up.  "When are you two going to have a baby? and You've got to have a baby with him".

Ah....thats a normal thing when people get married, even though you have children they are wondering when and if you will have children with him, probley the question eating away at their minds, but they don't want to say it straight out!\n\nMaybe he and you have decided the two you have is enough, who knows...\n\nJust tell them when you are ready and not before, that you are giving him the chance to learn what it is like to be a father to your children. \n\nAnd don't forget to compliment him when he does something you think is right with your children!  Even though guys don't tend to show their emotions as openly and freely as women, he'll go to bed with the knowledge that he did something good with them and that you appreciate the father he is being!


"Only me"--fem?\n\nWhen someone asks a question and you answer "me"?\n\n**No online translators like babelfish, please. I am probably advanced Spanish but I forget the simple stuff

It depends a lot on what the sentence before "only me" was, and what grammatical role the pronoun in question was playing in that sentence.  Here are two possible examples.\n\nA: ¿Te ha pegado a ti y a tu amiguita tu hermano? "Has your brother hit you and your friend?"\nB: Solamente a mí. "Only me."\n\nIn this case, since the person you are talking about was the direct object of the previous sentence, I use the objective form "a mí".\n\nA: Tú y tu novio fueron al cine ayer, ¿verdad? "You and your boyfriend went to the movies yesterday, right?"\nA: Solamente yo. "Only me."\n\nIn this case, the person in question is the subject of the previous sentence, so I use "yo".


He found out i had kids n he said he cant live with the guilt! I cant live without him but after a week i returned back to him n now he wants me to go back to my brothers. I love him a lot n i cant live my life without him!What do i do? i left my ex cause he cheated on me the whole time n i met my bf n he took care n loved me a lot! god pls help me!!!!! All u out there pls help me n try to understand my situation. Give any ideas except going back to my ex! I love my bf a lot!!!!!!!

Maybe you should of been honest with him from the start about your children.  Why would you even hide the fact you have children, they are the greatest things on earth?!  You need help figuring out what is more important your children or your man.  \n\nYou actually seem like you may love your BF more than you children.


make them feel better and reduce swelling??  Will icepacks help? I'm taking motrin like it's candy!! Help, please!!!

As a medical student this is what I can think it may be:\n\n1) Have ur lymph nodes checked out.  There may be fluid in them.\n\n2) Check ur tonsils, maybe tonsilitis.... Do research on the palatine tonsils..(the 2 humps on the side of your mouth near the uvula)\n\n3) Get a baterial culture, like a strep test.  For all you know all you need is some good old penicillin.\n\n4) Do you have a fever?  IF so definitely get a strep test, and get blood work done to check for mono.\n\n5) Try and do salt + water gargles.  Salt is a good anticeptic.  Also mouthwash regualarly, it'll help to kill some bacteria.\n\nHope you feel better.... Again I'm only a medical student and not a doctor.  Sry, if my spelling is horrible... was never good at it.


Nice things only please its to pass on to someone who needs a little just now....thanks

John Lennon said it best: "All you need is love!"\n\nLove is like nothing else. When you are really looking for it, you can't find it, but stop trying to find love and it will find you. The key is to love who the person you are today, and send loving thoughts to all those around you. Make it easy for love to find you and it will.\n\nAnd remember, no matter what, you are loved!!


I want to know how many Americans actually know these facts:\n\nHow many states are there?\n\nHow many colonies were there?\n\nWhen is Independence Day?\n\nWho was the first president?\n\nWhat is the national bird?\n\nWhat state is Washington, D.C. in?\n\nAnd a tougher one:\nWhen was the constitution signed?

50 states.\n\nThere were 17 English colonies on the North American at the time of the American Revolution. Four remained loyal to England and later became part of Canada.\n\nIndependence day is July 4 of each year. The anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.\n\nSamuel Huntington  was the first President of the United States in Congress Assembled, serving from September 28, 1779 to July 6, 1781. George Washington was the first president under the United States Constitution.\n\nHaliaeetus leucocephalus commonly referred to as the Bald Eagle or American Eagle\n\nWashington DC is not an any US state. It is within the District of Columbia, which has no representation within Congress.\n\nThe United States Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, ratified on June 21, 1788 and became effective on March 4, 1789.

My boyfriend gave me a hug and I got realy worried . I also do not know wether todump him or tell him I did'nt like it because if I do that then I think that he is going to dump me or something like that. I am just realy worried  please can you help me .He also wants me to not tell my mum but I had to tell her because she is my mum so think what that will be like when he finds out well he might do anyway.\nWhat should I do.

If you don't have any problem, let him hug you. Else analyse your problem yourself and keep a distance. I don't know which country you are from. That will be helpful giving you the solution.

I`m in high school & this dude asked me out. I told him no cause i can`t date till I`m 16, he seemed to be fine with it & said he would wait for me. Now everytime i see him i kind of freeze up & my heart beats loudly/quickly. This has never happened before. I didn`t even know he existed. He doesn`t talk to me as much as before & every time i see him he is with some random chick. I don`t expect him to stay away from girls, in fact i want him to have another gf, but that is the only time i ever see him. If i take a random route in the hallway & he is there, he is w/his friends and kinda seems to spaz out. Is he trying to make me feel bad? The other day a 3 girls who are in his 1st period class said that he liked me a lot and I was pretty much who he talked about, but I`m kinda confused now. The last thing is on the bus the other day, he made the phone sign w/his hand and pointed to himself, but i wasn`t sure whether to call him or not. I called him anyways, but he didn`t answer his cell.

Maybe he was busy!! I say you don't have to date him persay!! Just go out to the movies or skating ring as friends!! If he said he will wait for you, I'm sure he would!!

What is going on in America? It seems like the gangsters are running the country.  They are doing the same thing as the street thugs.  They say there is a war on drugs, Yea right but on television every commerical is about some drug one after another.  All this news and no real answers to anything.  Is this Politics or POLITRICKS? Gas price soaring sky high, Our President says the economy is strong and I wonder where is he getting his information.  The news reports political corruption on a daily basis.  Is this politics or POLITRICKS?

In that rant, you made so many mistakes that it is not funny.\n\n1) War on drugs is against illegal drugs.  Legal drugs have always been allowed.  They are made legal when their benefit outweighs the harm.\n2) It is politics.\n3) Gangsters work outside the legal system.  Lawmakers work within it.\n4) Gas prices are soaring due to future-seeking price bidders thinking supply will go down or demand will go up.  Thus, they buy more at a higher price.  We, the consumers, pay for that.\n5) The economy IS strong.  As high as gas prices are, everyone is still buying SUV's.  High, but we can afford it.\n6) News reports curruption.  Of course they do.  If they did not, you would not watch and their ratings would suffer.  Remember this when you watch or read the news:  Sex sells, and if it bleeds, it leads.  That is their motto.

i'm an outsider so i have no prejudice or bias towards americans and their beliefs.

Bush's legacy to America will be, that he involved us in a war, that we will have a terrible time extricating ourselves from. He also got a lot of young Americans killed for no good reason. Bush also lied to the citizens of America, to get us involved in the war in Iraq, in the first place. His legacy will be a river of blood, for a trickle of oil.


For maximum benefits when running. Morning? Afternoon? Evening?

Studdies on lung funciton, body rhythms, temperature, and hormone levels says to exercise around 6 pm.\n\nSurveys on exercise habits say to exercise in the morning before other commitments distract you, or during the day when you have a free period of time.\n\nPros and cons of early morning:\n\nPros: \n• The majority of people who exercise consistently do so early in the day. It is easier to form the exercise habit through morning exercise. \n• Fewer distractions and schedule interruptions. \n• Can make time for exercise by getting up a bit earlier. \n• Raises your heart rate and metabolism to burn more calories earlier in the day. \n• Gives a feeling of physical energy for hours. \n• Improves your mental acuity for hours. \n• Cooler temperatures in summer. \n• Air pollution is lowest in the morning. \n• The body adjusts to your exercise time, so if you are training for a morning sports event, train in the morning.\n\nCons: \n• Body temperature is at its lowest 1-3 hours before awakening, making morning a time of naturally lower energy and blood flow. \n• Cold, stiff muscles may be more prone to injury - be sure to warm up well before doing a higher intensity workout, and do gentle stretching. \n• If you do not enjoy morning exercise, you won't easily form a habit by choosing a morning workout time. \n• Because body temperature and hormones are higher in late afternoon, you probably get the same or better calorie-burning effects later in the day.\n\nPros and cons of midday:\n\nPros: \n• Can make a habit to walk and exercise at lunch time and break time. \n• Can use a walking and exercise partner at work, school, or in your neighborhood. \n• Body temperature and hormone levels are higher than first thing in the morning. \n• Can help regulate the amount of food you feel like eating for lunch, can help you avoid break-time snacking. \n• I mproves blood flow to the brain so you are sharper in the afternoon. \n• Stress relief from work, school, or home stresses.\n\nCons: \n• Time limits may not allow you to get in a full workout - any amount is good, but best if you can walk for 30-60 minutes or more at a stretch \n• Distractions and other commitments make keep you from walking and exercising at the appointed times. \n• Research shows that lung function is worst at noon.For an easy walk, you may not notice the difference. But for a vigorous workout or for those with lung problems, the 15-20% difference may be felt.\n\nPros and cons of afternoon:\n\nPros: \n• For most people, body temperature and hormone levels peak at 6 pm. Exercising 3 hours before or after the peak will give your your best workout for both endurance and building muscle. \n• Research shows lung function is best at 4-5 pm. \n• Muscles are warm and flexible. \n• Perceived exertion is lowest - how hard you feel yourself to be working at exercise. So you may be able to work out harder or faster by doing so in the afternoon. \n• Can help regulate the amount of food you feel like eating for dinner. \n• Stress relief after a day at work, school, or home.\n\nCons: \n• Distractions and other commitments make keep you from walking and exercising at the appointed times.\n\nPros and cons of evening:\n\nPros: \n• For most people, body temperature and hormone levels peak at 6 pm. Exercising 3 hours before or after the peak will give your your best workout for both endurance and building muscle. \n• Muscles are warm and flexible. \n• Perceived exertion is low - how hard you feel yourself to be working at exercise. So you may be able to work out harder or faster. \n• Can help regulate the amount of food you feel like eating for dinner. \n• Stress relief after a day at work, school, or home.\n\ncons: \n• Distractions and other commitments make keep you from walking and exercising at the appointed times. \n• Need to allow one to three hours to wind down after walking or exercise to be able to fall asleep.


I have a smith & wesson service revolver 38 special that was given as a retirement gift to my great grandfather that was on charleston wv sherriff's dept.  The best I can figure it is about 80 yrs old or so.  I would like to find out its value for ins purposes.  Any suggestions where I can find this info out?

Value can depend on the person willing to pay for it. You can look at prices in a magazine or book for years and the prices they print will be ill relevant. The revolver is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Have it authenticated and documentation to prove it is that old. You can contact S and W to run the serial number to see how old it really is. Good Luck!


I love long tongues (on females) and I want to know how to ask someone, without scaring them away!

Obviously it's a sexually related question.  Many women would rightfully tell you it's not your business until they decide to make it your business and, baby, there will be no mistaking when it is.  If a short tongued woman is a dealbreaker for you then what you have is a fetish that borders on obsession that excludes otherwise great women who simply do not have long tongues in favor of those who do.  Don't get me wrong, having a person with all the right turn-on attributes is a VERY good thing...but with this, man, take it just so far.


Marshall Plan was a catalyst that stimulated many countries in the Soviet Unions influence to "go west" and choose democracy and capitalism instead of east and accept communism. It showed the economic advantages of it through the aid they received, and worked flawlessly to show up Stalin, and communism, who chose to build a wall instead of trying to improve the part of Germany in their influence, or any other nation. Germany's loans to pay off its war reparations, and by other nations for reconstruction, from US soon became part of the whole foreign policy and American influence ordeal. As now they had ties with US, that allowed it to exert more control over these foreign entities.


This is for my english due 5/24/06 at 220pm. the websites must be creditable(ie .edu or .org)

Your college (I hope you're at a college because otherwise you're screwed) library should have a special directory set up on their website that will help you search through all the databases that are available to you.  I would start there.  Google Scholar is also a really good place to start, and if you're signed into your school's network, it will filter results based on what's available to you.  Good luck!

I am not talking about legal Citizens-but we spend a bundle on Illegals on State programs(Medical-schools-Aid-Food ect) $75,000 in California(annually look on web)  alone. Should not that money go to legal Citizens?  People here (yes we have plenty poor) can not get medical. Ask a nurse (there are not programs for all) some are hungry, some are homeless and  many work for minimum wage and can not support themselves. Many have no insurance-not because they don't want it-they cannot afford it! Medicine-people are dying because they can not afford it-ask any hospital. Why are we not being fair to them? Do they not count? Wouldn't it be fair to care for our own first-than reach out? Why do we allow this?

No, they shouldn't be getting any service except emergency care. This isn't what is happening. \nNot many know the politics of the immigration system that we are living under. You are only hitting on one aspect of it Medical-school-aid. This is only the tip of the iceberg.\n\nUnder legal immigration law all the things your asking about are benefits they can receive. \nThe "illegal" aspect now gets real muddy. Question: If you are of "authority" and knowingly look the other way while someone does something against the law, is it a crime? That is what is happening our government is not stopping them from coming here(looking the other way) so why would they stop them from getting the same benefits legals receive. \n\nSomehow you and many other Americans think our government cares what they are doing or what happens to you or anyone else. Being they don't, what do you think that says???? \nGet the drift.\n\nLike I said what you asked is just a slight tip of the iceberg.

I get this itchy areas specially behind my knees and my lips when I scratch it becomes hot and hard bumps when i bite my lip to scratch it swells up what could this be?

Sounds like a reaction to something you did that caused you to become allergic. The symptoms are the itchy, followed with hot red bumps, brought on by you intitating the scratching. First you need to ask yourself some questions....Did I eat something to cause this reaction? Did I use a new cosmetic on my skin or a old one? Did I try a new detergent? Or is the one I always use making me get a reaction? Is the medication or herbal pills or both making me break-out? What ever it is drink alot of water to flush out your system...keep a written journal on what you do and just monitor your self. It is cheapier to heal yourself than visit the doctor. Use common sense. Use products that are allergy-free. Good Luck


From what I have seen, the market is glutted right now in IT. You might be better off finding a firm that is looking for an IT specialist and hiring directly on. Consulting requires usually a good insurance policy. In the nuclear world (where I work), you need at least $1 million in liability.\n\nBest of luck.

is it true that for a girl to be attracted to a heavy guy he has  to have a great personality. Can they just randomly turn a girl on from sight?

It depends on their confidence level.  I've dated a heavy guy who was very confident in himself, he didn't have that "hang dog" attitude about him. He was carefree and was self consious when we went out. But I also dated a heavy guy who was the opposite.  He would refuse to dance with me when we went out because I guess he thought people would look and laugh at him.  We broke up.  Heaviness I can deal with, low self esteem and self loathing I can't.

In Mays office, there are two water tanks providing water to the office: a primary water tank, which is a sphere with a 4.5 metre radius, and a much larger backup water tank. During the busy office days, the primary water tank became empty. The Boss ordered his employeese to carry bucketfuls of water from the larger backup water tank to the primary water tank.The Boss ordered his employees to fill the tank so that the water is exactly 6.5 metres deep at the center. If one bucket of water holds exactly 10 litres, how many bucketfuls of water are required to fill the tank to the required depth? Round up to the nearest whole number.

1st, the volume of the tank is (4/3)π(4.5)^3 = 381.7035 cubic meters.  The part left unfilled is a spherical cap whose volume formula is (π/6)(3r1² + h²)h, where r1 is the radius of the base of the cap, and h is its height.  The height here is 9 - 6.5 = 2.5, and r1² = 4.5² - (6.5-4.5)² = 16.25.  \n\nSo the volume of the unfilled cap is (π/6)(3*16.25 - 2.5²)*2.5 = 55.6324 cubic meters.  We subtract that from the volume of the tank to get 326.0711 cubic meters of water when the tank is filled 6.5 meters deep.  \n\nNow one liter fills a cube 1/10 of a meter on a side (10 cm), so a bucket is 1/100 of a cubic meter.  Multiplying the required volume gives 32,607.11 buckets, which rounds up to 32,608.\n\nMathgirl mistakenly assumed the volume of the tank was proportional to the depth of water, which would be true for a cylinder, but not for a sphere.


i just met this girl at my new school who is kinna pretty and kind to me. sometimes i catch her staring at me and then she smiles. i dont understand it there are more guys who are more handsome than me instead she just asked me out yesterday and i barely know her. she never talked to me before.what should i do?

Go out with her.  Since you barely know her, you don't know what kind of person she really is...you may be surprised that you are her perfect type of guy.  Or, you might also find out that she's not as nice/pretty as she seems...worth a shot though!


Hi how do i find a formula for \nV+2^4*V^2+3^4*V^3+...+n^4*V^n\nthat is summing from t=1 to t=n of (t^4)*(V^t) ?\nThe answer I got does not work out but thanks for your help.\n\nMany thanks

u can even use calculus to find this out


benefits for students, teachers, and both schools, statistics of benefits

Benefits for students would be learning higher level material and being tested on it.  Also, they can sometimes get college credit so that they don't have to take the same class in college.  Most of the time, the high school AP is much easier than the college class.\n\nTeachers actually have to teach instead of just slacking off because their students will fail the AP miserably if they don't teach well.  For this reason, many not-so-great teachers try to avoid teaching AP classes.\n\nSchools would get a better feel for how well the students might actually do for college material.


I will need to send you a email with the questions and you email me back.  they are personal questions and since this is by email i dont know you and wont know you  thanks

When I try to play "Hearts" (cards) on line, and I get to the point when it says, "allow three minutes for apelet (?) to load," I never get logged on.  This is a new laptop and I've never run into this problem before.  Am I missing something?

1. Have you got JAVA loaded??\n2. try the link on the top right "wait 3 mns to load or click here".


addicted people who when on narcotics become more angry and take out their problems on other people in violent ways. have you tried a narcotic? what was it? how did you feel?

I agree with Isle, she would have to want to stop using drugs.  Sometimes people don't realize they are acting the way they do when they are an addict.  My mother used to take vicodin like candy for her back and was the meanest person in the world when taking them.  She didn't realize, so we tape recorded her and played it back for her to listen to, it was a wake up call for her.  If she's not vocally abusive to you, there's not much you can do because if you cut and pasted what she said, she would say you could alter it to make her look bad.  I was on narcotics but I wasn't mean, it just made me sleepy.


If you have a scripture reference i would appreciate it.

Software patches, upgrade, service packs, hotfixes, new releases.

www.softpedia.com; www.downloads.com; www.freewarefiles.com; there are so many but i recommend - P2P softwares like eDonkey (overnet); BitRate; Kaazaa, etc.


I IM you before I relized who you were, sorry. I meant it

I don't know Paperhearts; so I couldn't tell you whether or not she knows. It's rather nice of you to clarify this, though- I don't care what Paperheart says about you...you're alright!


I think it is because if a tesco trolley finds itself surounded by other tesco trolleys it wants to get out and breed with a sainsbury trolley for example. Any other ideas

They are actually trying to found new colonies. There can only be one Queen trolley in any given supermarket. When population pressure becomes too high, another Queen trolley is produced. When she matures, she takes off for open spaces, there to establish a new trolley colony.\n\nTesco trolleys and Sainsbury trolleys are in fact enemies and will kill or enslave each other, much like red and black ants.


It also times out when I try to go to www.google.com.  The page just times-out and says "Page cannot be found".  When I type an address directly in the address box it works fine (except for google).  The last thing I installed was Google Earth.  I unistalled Earth and the Google toolbar and ran Ad-Aware, but still not working.

I think it was 14th/20th kings hussars but not sure!  Any links to photos would be great.

It is rumoured that he spent a few years in the 14TH 20TH KINGS HUSSARS "the finest cavalry regiment of all time" but i just cant find it written down anywhere "did you like that"


Two to three weeks ago I went to this small party where I met this rather cute guy, we talked and had lots of fun over all, how ever he didn’t ask for my number or anything, a few days later cleaning my hand hag I found his business card, it seems that he put his card in my bag with out me realizing… should I call him, even though it has been almost 3 weeks??

Yes. If he put the card in your hand bag without you noticing it obviously should ring a bell to you that he was shy. So casually phone this cute boy up and be honest. Tell him that you didn't realize he put his card in there and then suggest that you two continue the conversation (that was so much fun) over some coffee (or whatever) and see how it goes. I'm sure he would rather have a phone call than to not have one at all. Put yourself in his shoes for just a minute. He is most likely under the impression that you totally blew him off with his suttle and shy move with the business card. \n\nHe will like the honesty, you'll feel better about the situation and over all.... you'll most likely hook up and have a lot of fun. Even if you don't, you won't regret not trying right?

I need a college that would allow my west highland terrier in the dorm.

Perhaps the answer is just as simple as getting an off-campus apartment.  At big schools like Ohio State and Indiana, lots of students own pets and live right next door to campus, but are officially off-campus, so it isn't a problem.


I am thinking of interviewing for a teaching job there.  How would that be?

it is about 493.72 miles apart and it would take about 8 hours to get there


Yesterday was the Illegal Alien boycott.  I loved how much less congested the traffic was, not only on the roads but the mall, too!  My wife and I were advocates of the Hispanics untill yesterday. Now as embarrassed as I am to admit it, life was much better without them!  I am not racist and my wife 1/2 Mexican.   So round 'em up and send 'em all packing!! California is more pleasant without the Mexicans!

to the 2 people who said send st. james' wife back to mexico...ARE YOU NUTS? she is obviously an AMERICAN NOT AN ILLEGAL ALIEN.  you 2 are missing the point.


Publicly little is known that at present elderly people can be robbed of their estate in the court of protection under this act, and a persons own chosen Executor is left powerless by the existing law to defend these elderly people.

do you have evidence of this or have you just experienced one case where you were affected or knew someone affected and are biased by that. Courts are also bound by previous decisions of courts higher than their own which means that some results may seem unfair but are in the big picture more beneficially than harmfull


There must be some computer fools out there who still do, but otherwise WHY CAN'T YAHOO screen this CRAP out of our mailboxes without US having to limit emails from people?  Also is anybody REALLY logging in to reply to demands for payment for stuff they never bought on eBAY, in those stupid PHISH letters?\n\nREALLY

Apparently, there's always people 'falling' for all kinds of scams, even one as old and obvious like that one. I suppose there's nothing we can do about it. Just delete them and ignore them.


I've been having very vivid dreams of me in the shape of a reddish-brown wolf, in which I see myself running through the woods at night, hunting, drinking from a lake, and all sorts of wolf-life activites. \nAlso, when I wake up, I often find my room more messy than the night before, what suggest me I might be a sleepwalker.\n\nIs there a way for me to turn these dreams into lucid dreams and gain better control of them? Do you know any lucid dreaming techniques that can help me to achieve this?

OK, first things first. You might very well, especially if you're having colorful dreams, be a somnambulist. If you're taking anything like Lunestra or Ambien, get off of it. The latest in sleep medications have been increasing sleepwalking and generally higher levels of activity while asleep. \n\nAs for increasing dream control, I find it is useful to begin your dream early. Practice your visualisation skills. Since you seem to dream about walking in the woods a lot, you may begin your night's rest by picturing yourself in these woods. You'll fall asleep eventually, but when you do, the dream you began will likely continue once you hit REM sleep. Over time, even on the nights you don't realise you're dreaming (although you usually will, especially if you plant a signal like someone else suggested), your control of yourself in your dreams will increase thanks to the visualisation practice.


Would you call your boss and let them know you're available to cover shifts for the next few months? I thought that was stranger than strange ummm hmmmmmmmmmmm

I work at a Wal-Mart where one of the biggest problems we suffer from are no shows and call-ins (call offs, to you).  If you suggested you could do fill-ins, I'd say, uh, NO.  Reliability is necessary, and prior history tells me otherwise.\n\nI'd suggest finding a job elsewhere, because it's harder to repair a reputation than build one.


OR visa versa,how did you LADIES respond? EVER MET someone who has kids, but looks like a kid himself, WILL HE EVER GET A DATE?OR Maybe too many dates?

Yeah, I met this 30 year old guy, like he really is, even his license said so... But when you look at him he looks as if he's only 13-14 years old... Which is really weird... But cool I guess...


using the planets as a model: when there is a conjunction between say three planets(e.g. Venus:moon:Earth) do we experience higher than normal tides due to the added magnetic field effect due to venus?

Yes magnets can be focused and intensified by using other magnets. when the moon gets closer to the earth, in its own orbit it causes larger than normal tides. Venus is too far away to have any affect. if it did the affects could pull earth out of it own orbit.

I just saw another infomercial about on investing in the stock market. It was called Teach Me to Trade www.tmtt.com. I was wondering if it was the real thing or not. Others I have seen are InvesTools, Options Made Easy, Wizetrade, etc. All make it seem so easy but I know it can't be or everyone would be doing it. Has anyone tried or checked out any of these and do they work?

I wouldn't listen to infomercials. They don't guarantee you anything and may charge you lots of fees to get their program. I would take classes or do some research at the library.\n\nStocks can make you lots of money in a quick period of time, but you can also lose lots of money too. If you don't know how to invest, then invest in mutual funds. Mutual funds are managed by professionals who have over 10 years of experience in the stock market.


I am not sure if the lottery is for people who already live in the US or for anyone who can fill out an aplication.

Anyone can.  I applied a few years back and I live in Ireland.  Wasn't successful tho.  :o(


With the debate over immigration, should the us build a wall at the  mexican boarder to controll the flow of immrgrants??

Yes, but it would have to be on the scale of the great wall of China.  Which would then serve as a tourist attraction as well as a block to illegal immigration.  The far left dismisses this so quickly and the cost would be high; but compare the cost to al queda crossing the southern border and I think its quite reasonable.


Good luck, considering that this week, gold is selling for almost $700 an ounce.  You'll probably be able to get 1/2 of a flake for $5.00


She lays the poodle on the table. Bartender says "I guess you won't be needing a drink"  The lady says....\n\nWhat movie is this unfinished joke from? And have you ever heard or come up with an amusing punchline?

Apparently there is no punchline.  Judd Nelson improvised it in the moment.


Life by the Spirit / So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. \n   The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.  \n   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things THERE IS NO LAW. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Galatians 4 / NIV

Wow! I have to confess that I didn't read your whole question. Way too long.\n\nI'm dying from the very moment of my birth, no matter how many words you use.


He's like a study in bad faith \n\nEven his own party is grimly backing away from him. "   If you put on blinders, cherry-pick intelligence and Pinocchio the country into war, you might be the worst president in history.\n\n  If you treat the worst terrorist attack in the history of the nation as the best thing that's happened for you politically, you just might be the worst president.\n\n"http://www.smirkingchimp.com/article.php?sid=25923&mode=nested&order=0

A great president? This piece of human garbage is by far the worst president this country has ever seen or ever will see. He is amongst other things a war criminal, a mass murderer, a thief, a traitor, a deserter, a liar, a moron, a drunk, a coke addict, an illiterate and an abject failure. He is quite literally the scum of th earth and I despise him, richly and deservedly.\n\nI am actually less concerned with his relative popularity (too many of the American electorate change with the prevailing wind, as demonstrated in November 2004) as with his ultimate place in history. I want this vermin impeached and disgraced by being forcibly removed from office. I want all future history texts to refer to him as the worst and most harmful president this republic has ever known. I want him brought up for charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity before the World Court in the Hague and taken away in shackles to serve a life sentence. And I want all of his blindly devoted "true believer" supporters -- even those craven enough to abandon him now as he begins his long-awaited descent -- to burn in hell right along with their hero.\n\nAmen. ;)

What is your most favorite Japanese anime show? Why?

I loved watching Sailor Moon. I know its old, but I still like it. My favorite are all the bad guys. There is something about the Japanese animators when they draw a bad guy. They put a bit of sexiness into them that just hooks you right in.


It would be more interesting if more men "black men" would respond than women. I am not black so this question does not reflect my own person experiences. It's just an issue that i have heard about amongst my friends.

Wrong.. White women do not allow black men to run all over them. I am white and my fiance is black. We have a son, and we take care of each other-do things for each other and love one another with all we've got. \n\nHe will go to the ends of the earth for me. Black women (no offense - but I've got to speak the truth) say we take more crap because they feel inferior and need something to blame the black men for, for desiring any other race but themselves. \n\nThey should not feel inferior - but they do. Black men like us for different reasons. My man loves me for the following:\n\n1. My long, soft, shiny (pan-teen style) hair\n2. My green eyes that have flecks of gold and change to gray and blue sometimes.\n3. My Dimples.\n4. My personality - the way i make him laugh\n5. My heart. \n\nNot because im white, but because I am me and anyone else who makes up idiotic reasons - needs professional help because they are feeling inferior about themselves.


I recently had probs with the Winfix foistware and I don't know if this is a genuine microsoft mssg or a virus?\n\nCould anyone advise me please before I decide whether to download it or delete it?\n\nIt says:\n\nAttention! Security Center has detected potential security vulnerabilities on your PC that may send private information and documents to a remote computer. One of the processes (Win32res.exe) has just sent this information:  \n\nand then asks me to dowload WinAntiVirusPro2006.\n\nIs this legit?

If this was a pop message then it might be just adware which advertise for companies.. I would recommend you run a Virus Scan.. Also go to www.download.com and download ADAWARE software. It will look for spyware on your computer and delete it.

should I give him benadryl for children? should I bath him in aveeno? how else can I calm his itching?

All of the above, plus, if you care about your kids friends (and it's okay with their folks) junior should go play with them a few hours so they get it too.  Once you've had it once, it's very rare to get it again, and chicken pox as an adult is a nightmare.  My poor lovely wife got it, and we laughed and we laughed, but it was apparently very serious.\n\nAveeno/oatmeal/calamine all sound like good ideas for the poor thing...\n\ngood luck!

Jessica and Sugarpie.  \n\nI think Jessica is retarded though, she takes things really personal; she was homeless or something like that and blames her lack of opportunities on the illegals, yet sometimes she is also crediting her lack of opportunity in her pursuit of a Masters Degree.   \n\nSugarpie is a straight redneck, probably has sex with her siblings and her father probably sleeps with her.  Nevertheless, she hates Mexicans.


some people refuse too do the homework or dont care?

In popular history, no one around has ever heard of the "Poor Peoples' March on Washington" which MLK, Jr. started.  It is just quietly swept under the rug, so to speak.  MLK, Jr. wasn't just fighting for the rights of black Americans, he was fighting for the rights of all poor Americans!


I REALLY want to know how to learn it. Any free websites on it? Thanks for any help. : )

Can it get into ur bloodstream? I thought you only smoke it, not inject it. Cos its basically like a cigarrete isnt it?

it goes into your lungs and then straight into your blood stream from there.  how do you think oxygen gets in your blood??


In doing so, she is accepted by her in-laws, but she becomes extremely bitter, because she has been putting up a show in front of her in-laws, that she is a traditional, homely woman, who lets everyone walk on her, dictate terms to her on how she should dress, where she should go, what she should eat, etc.  By the way, her husband is very supportive of her, and stay in a nuclear family sans the in-laws.

DON'T change for anyone but yourself. \n\nPlus, even if you try to change for your in-laws that doesn't really mean that they will accept you. They may do so on the surface, but deep down they still may not...and you'll gain nothing. Life is too short to pretend to be someone else and to be bitter.\n\nMy little suggestion is to be you and YAY for having a supportive husband!!! That's wonderful. If you don't have to be around your in-laws a lot, it shouldn't matter. \n\nMy secret: I loved to freak my ex's mother out with my views on various subjects, weird responses to questions, etc. But you have to be secure and not really care about if they like you or not to do things like that. Just a fun tip.

A degree gets your foot in the door ... but experience ( to know exactly what you are doing and not having to ask question) and to be let free to do the job hired for and not have to be checked up on is what is wanted when they say that.


Excuse?  No.  Everyone is responsible for their own behavior.\n\nIs that a motivation for behavior?  Yes.  While we are all responsible for our own behavior, we are also taught that in order to be good little  boys and girls we must do what those in authority tell us to do.  Milgram conducted a famous experiment back in the 60's, which found that most folks will go against their conscious when faced with an order from a "higher authority."  This is frightening.  \n\nWhat we need to do is to teach people to question authority.  However, when they do, they are labelled as "troublemakers" and "rebellious."


dont have a postcrip printer, my pdf print in dots, type and logos.

Well I remember a couple of weeks ago when I said Spurs or Mavs and a lot of people said the Spurs and a few said the Mavs. And the Spurs lost, so since a lot of people want the Mavs to win anyone feel that the Suns will win this round?\nAnd any opinions on todays game with the Suns and Mavs?? GO SUNS!!

I go with the Mavs for several reasons. They have the momentum of beating the Spurs.  Also, they play better defense than Phoenix.  Only way Phoenix can win is by playing up tempo and hitting their 3's.  Without Amare, they lack the inside presence.  Also, Phoenix has gone to game 7 in each of their series so far.  I think they are tired.  If Nash is not healthy, they will probably lose too.


Why won't the sound play on my dvd player?  I do have sound on all other cd, etc. I have media player & use Windows XP.  This is the first time that I have used the DVD and I can see the movie..What the...?

Do you mean you have BOTH a CD Player and a DVD player?\n\nIf so it may be that only the CD player has had it's audio cable connected, look inside your PC, and see if there are one or twp 'thin' grey or black wires coming from the small 4 pin plug at the back of them, and going to your sound card.\n\nAlso check you MAIN volume control and check that the input for this is enabled - you will find that in the Control Panel under Sounds & Audio Devices, you should get maybe a 6 or 8 channel mixer appear, check the the MUTE checkbox is clear.


what I mean is, will the wave just stop at the point where the energy was stopped, or does it continue as a wave of the same frequency and amplitude until it gets to the next available 'zero' point?

well if it were in a medium where it is obstructed by external forces,it would continue till the 0 point and stop... but when unobstructed it would keep travelling.

C'mon, villifying Ricky for a little sticky icky?  \n\nGimme a break, he never beat his girlfriend, had blow-outs with teamates, did HARD drugs, smokes cigarettes, or even went on a boat trip with the Minnesota Vikings. All much worse in my book.\n\n"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."\n\n"At the University of Notre Dame, I majored in sociology and business, but I never really thought how those subjects would lead to any kind of gainful occupation."\n\n"The Cowboys should take Tony Mandarich with the first pick instead of Troy Aikman. He could open up huge holes for Herschel Walker."\n\n - all above direct quotes from the bright spark that is Joe Theismann.

Joe Theismann is a retard. Anyone who defends him is, by default, also a retard.\nHis quote "I don't want to be mentioned in the same sentence as Ricky Williams." Shows just how retarded he is. Let's think, "If I go on national radio and tear apart someone, could it be possible that people might now mention me in the same sentenced as the person I just tore apart in a 5 minute rant?" retard.\nsorry retards.


since i was a teenager i liked singing to songs on the radio my idols back then were Tiffany { i think we're alone now } and madonna. i had a rough life so this is why i have'nt made it big yet. i'm now 33 yrs old and i've been writing lyrics since i was a teenager. i've tried karoke and it's alright. i'm a shy person and get embarrased easily. i like to be where the other artists are today.

you have to assemble a package of yourself including; a picture, short bio, your range capabilities, and how many years of experience.  Chances are it will be for harmony parts.  you must become a member of the musicians union and they have a list of job opportunities


umm... i was wondering, if you have to graph a quadratic funtion that's in vertex form, what do you do to after you find the vertex? do you just 'plug &chug' and use FOIL to multiply it out and find y?   the problem is y=(x+3)^2+1... the vertex is (-3,1), to find more coordinates on the graph, i just plug in a number for x and then solve using foil? or is it different?  is that right? if it is, is there  a way that doesn't involve so much multiplication?

It is symmetric about the line x = -3\nThis means that if you plug in -4, then you will get the same value when you plug in -2.\nSo you only have to plug in one of them.\nDo not foil it out.  It is easier the way it is written.\ny(-4) = (-4+3)^2 + 1\ny(-4) = 2\nThus, by symmetry y(-2) = 2\ny(-5) = (-5+3)^2 + 1\ny(-5) = 5\nThus, y(-1) = 5 by symmetry


does anybody know FOR SURE what will happen to jim brass on the CSI season finale?

he dies.. Lol, not really, it aired tonight and he lived


Instance Theodore Roosevelt..he was one of our best..is it because the men that run for office now feel inferior to our past leaders?

These are different and dangerous times and President Bush is trying his best to stop these murdering bastards from coming back over here like they did on 9/11. Think about it, people, we're at war with idiots who want to kill you and every American on this planet and subvert America to a Islamo-fascist dictatorship. When are you people going to wake up and smell the coffee. You'd better do something before its too late.


I will be divorcing my husband very soon.  I worry that no man would like to get involved with a divorced woman.  I will be single again forever!

Personally I wouldn't be thinking about getting involved with another man so soon after divorce. You will find your soul mate when the time is right. Have some "down time" for yourself. Divorce is not easy on the heart, so heal first before rushing into another relationship. Your knight in shiny armor is out there somewhere, weather your divorced or single.


I've downloaded a movie from the internet.The problem now I can't open it either using Windows Media Player or WinAmp or Quick Time Player.What am I suppose to do?

I'm talking history.  You idolize Babe Ruth, a drunk and a sexist, back in the day when alcohol was illegal!  People disrespected Hank Aaron because he's black, even threatened to kill him if he passed The Babe.  Now, you're calling Barry Bonds a cheater because you assume he cheated.  Whatever happened to our society that a person is pressumed innocent until proven guilty?  If he were on your team, you would idolize him as those in SF.  If you say, you wouldn't, you're lying.  Why can't people just acknowledge his talents and abilities?

Point by point\n\n-The Babe was a great (if not the greatest) baseball player.  His behavior off the field was lewd at best.  But during his heyday, athletes wern't celebrites, they were athletes.  Just like Beckham or Kobe, it shouldn't matter what you do after the final whistle.  But those guys are in an era now where athletes are interchangable with celebrites.\n\n-At the time Hank Aaron broke Babe's record, racism was still running strong.  People that grew up with The Babe believed that his HR record would never be broken - especially by someone of color.  But I'd bet that for every piece of hate mail he received, he got 3 congratulating him.\n\n-Bonds is obviously on something, just like Canseco, McGuire, Palmero...  Look at (pics and stats) these players in the late 80's compared to now.  There is a huge difference, literally!  And being innocent until proven guilty only applies in court - you are guilty when convicted.  Bonds has not been charged with a crime, he is being tried by the public and media.  There is no jury and no verdict.  His guilt depends on who you ask (I say guilty).\n\n-I would want Bonds on my team.  He's a homerun machine.  His on-base percentage is the highest in the Majors (because no one pitches to him).  His is injury-proned, so I'd like to see him on an American League team as a DH.  If he plays a full season in the outfield without tweeking his knee, then the Giants have a good shot at winning the World Series.\n\n*Are you from Canada or England?


No one has given me a convincing answer as to how it isn't.\n\nMoney gets you HUGE houses, nice cars, hot babes, sweet vacations, more friends, everything.\n\nA better, more stable family.\n\nTo me, as much as I hate to admit it, money equals happiness.\n\nI gotta live fast and die young (65) :)  It's the only way.

It won't give you real love though.\n\nBut if you give me some, then : \n\n...me love you long time !\n\n:-)


Sometimes, Why there is a line of white smoke been developed behind a flying aeroplane. Does the cloud is steamed up or something else?

It is called a contrail,  condensation trail or vapour trail.\n\nCombustion of airplane fuel generates steam in the exhaust. At high altitudes the cold temperature of the atmosphere causes the steam to condense into water droplet or ice crystals (depending on the temperature). \n\nThe condensed water droplets / ice crystals disperse light, making them visible.


I have seen her twice and both times were great.

I met her once. She is a very grounded down to earth lady. No stupid celeb airs and graces. She's great. It was almost like sitting down with a favourite aunt (an aunt with boobs two sizes too big)


I need to know how to figure out what kind of RAM I can so that I can upgrade it. I know I have DDR-SDRAM at 512MB but I do not know what speed the RAM is and what other types of RAM will be compatable. Please help.

Firstly you should know that what is the maximum frequency that your motherboard supports for that download some checking utility like Sisoft Sandra then check what is the motherboards model and what is the maximum frequency that supports etc from there.For knowing your current RAM s working speed (Not the original speed but the Maximum supproted By your Mother board or as per the settings in the BIOS) download som utilty like Wcupid. And if your RAM is working at a slower speed than what your motherboard supports then it May be because you entered a different frequeny in the BIOS settings or your Ram supports only that speed .To adjust Speed from bios just press DEL whil computer is booting then search for something like sdram frequency then change its value to auto


IF possible, I'd liek to have internet adresses...i really want to be an alchemist.

Actually, you can turn one element into another by nuclear transmutation. Radioactive elements spontaneously decay over a long period of time and transform into other more stable elements.\n\nSo, doesn't that make Nuclear Physicists Alchemists?\n\nNatural transmutation was applied consciously to modern physics first by Frederick Soddy when he, along with Ernest Rutherford, discovered that radioactive thorium was converting itself into radium in 1901. At the moment of realization, Soddy later recalled, he shouted out: "Rutherford, this is transmutation!" Rutherford snapped back, "For Christ's sake, Soddy, don't call it transmutation. They'll have our heads off as alchemists."\n\nSo, you should study to be a Nuclear Physisicist.


I am young but i have breast like pamala anderson.is there any way i can decrease my breast size?

ok I am not going to be an ass like eveyone else who is jealous. I too have very nice breast and am tall and thin so keep them unless you are having back issues. Workout to lift them and strenghten your back. If you feel you have to have a breast reduction when you get old enough or wear a sports bra. Good Luck. Be lucky considering some girls pay thousands for nice Pamela Anderson breast hell she did!


Obviously I am not Really making a movie, but here is the question.  The plot involves 3 guys who are trying to make it in the world of "Stand Up" comedy.  What three comedians would you cast in these roles.  Their styles would have to be different but still work when they interact!  Who would you like to see work together on film who hasnt yet done so?  You are in charge so get casting.  They must be three males for this movie but the sequel will be three female comediennes.  P.S. No going to the past for those who passed on..all actors must be alive and kicking so forget Chaplin and Abbott and Costello.

Jim Carrey (slapstick), Nicholas Cage (sarasm), and Dustin Hoffman (tries, but just can't pull it off)


I read an article on Columbia (i think it was) and their new president and how he thinks the coca plant should be a legal medicinal plant.  In the article it also said that in some South American countries you can buy toothpaste with coca in it and apparantly it prevents tooth decay.\nAre there other uses for the coca plant beyond making cocaine and toothpaste?  Could the coca plant be 'bred' like cannabis has and support the local communities in South America whilst having the blessing of the international decision makers?\np.s. i've put this in chemistry because i am hoping for some intelligent answers :-)

This is more of a morals question.  Since the cocaine is more valuable than anything else, why would anyone grow it for any other reason.  With hemp, there is work to make the plants low THC, so they could have another use.  Some web sites to consider:\n\nhttp://www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/coca.htm\n\nhttp://www.cocamuseum.com/htm/historycoca.htm

what can be done about abanded homes in reseditinal areas?

report it to city inspectors so that they can go  chk it out for any violations


Yet they can't formulate any legislation to help the homeless VETERANS living on the streets, can't get the government to get it's act together to get our gulf coast cleaned up, can't get the banks and credit card people to stop gouging us with enourmous interest rates and fees, cant't pass a death penalty law for child molesters, won't even look at a fair-tax law and abolish the IRS. Are these guys a bunch of schmuks or what? Are they selling out on our right to a sovreign nation?


I have heard that the symbolize the four gospels. This is a real question, for real Bible students. Please give real answers. I have my on ideas, but I really want to hear what other people have heard, or read.

I believe these are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, How ever they are not refer-ed to anywhere in any of the Gospels. Read your Bible a little closer. They are refer-ed to in Rev. 6:1-8


I have tried all the fad diets and anything i can possibly think of I will loose weight and one of 2 things will happen I either plato or get bored and give into temptation.  They say out of site out of mind but that dont help with family outings at my faviorte resturant which happens to be italian and nothing is healthy there.  the dr. said i have to loose weight to have a baby and I am at my wits end any suggestions?

The doctor should be able to give you a special diet plan to loose the weight you need to get pregnant.\nBelieve me when I say this.\nWhen my mom went for a check up, her doctor gave her a special diet plan and some exercises.\nShe followed half of the diet plan, but what helped the most was that she started walking every morning, five laps or an hour of laps around a park.\nAnd she lost not just weight, but lost size as well.


How did the rest of the world perceive Gandhi's nonviolent struggle in India??\n\nI want to know how the world got to know/was aware of/recognized  gandhi's nonviolent struggle in India.\n\nPlease write in detail because I am writing an essay on this topic. Thank you.

There is really only one way to perceive it: as successful. I've never heard of a non violent protest failing. It doesn't stop other people from reacting violently; but given enough patience and time, it always works. It did for Gandhi, it did for the American civil rights movement, and I think if the Palestinians really want to accomplish anything, they should be the next to try it.


I'm 25 and a man has never given me an orgasm.  I have given myself plenty.  Is there something wrong with me? What am I doing wrong because I honestly think it's me and not them.

There are literally HUNDREDS of books about female orgasms and how to get one.\n\nThere is no way I could type long enough to help illuminate you to your own potential.\n\nIt does have to do with the guy(s), however. \n\nIt's probably your relationship with them and their ability to be both patient and SHARING with you.\n\n\nWhen you feel safe and you feel love..........and guys stop treating you like their own hand or a science project.....you'll begin to FEEL the differences......\n\n\nNow you are worried, up-tight, pushing, searching.....\n\n\nThat's not love, surrender, bliss, celebration.......\n\n\nRelax...........really.........breathe.........

1.if ther is a hearse carrying a corpse on the Highway can they use the carpool lane\n2.why are they asteroids when they r in the hemisphere but hemeroids inside your @$$

You just might be able to beat a ticket if the enabling law for the carpool lane does not specifically address the definition of "occupancy" by a certain number of persons and whether it is specifically stated that the persons must be alive.  This is a highly technical point but if the law does not specifically prohibit it there is a good chance you could win the case.  The result of such a win would mean that this 'loophole' would have to be closed by excluding corpses in the number of persons require to satisfy the rules regarding use of the carpool lane.\n\nAs regards to the definition given in the answer preceding, the corpse would qualify as sharing the occucpancy of the vehicle, and if a fee were being paid for the transport of the body then obviously it would be sharing expenses as well. As to "quite often take turns driving", this phrase could be argued to mean not necessarily taking turns driving.  It would have had to state "AND take turns driving."  This is similar to a taxi or limousine driver carrying a passenger for hire and using the carpool lane, the only difference here being that the passenger is alive.\n\nYou are grasping on the second one.  First of all, they would not be 'asteroids'. They would be meteors. After they hit the ground they are meteorites. None of this has anything to do with any hemisphere. The correlation you try to make between asteroids and hemorrhoids is irrelevant.\n\nThis is one of those looney situations that crops up from time to time.  I have a crazy cousin-in-law in Vermont whose last name was "Koch", pronounced "koke".  He got so sick of people pronouncing it  "kotch" that he had his last name legally changed to "Coke Is It".  ( I am not making this up; I have newspaper clippings to prove it.) Mr. 'It' then ended up being sued by the Coca Cola Company for infringement of a trademarked name.  You do not want to end up in similar situations I am sure, but it sounds like that is where you are headed.

Im enlisting when I graduate in 2007 in the U.S.M.C I firmly believe in what's going on, and I'd like to be a part of it. I'm 17 but belive it or not I have an idea of what I'm getting into. The terror caused by watching my friends die around me, the possibilty that I might die myself leaving my loved ones behind, and even the pain of having to kill another man. As crazy and maybe sad as it sounds, I feel ready for it. I have the will to act on what I feel is right, and against what I feel is wrong. If liberating two nations wasn't wrong, then I wouldn't want to be a part of it. Also I have a few friends who want to enlist with me so we could be stationed together and watch each other's backs. One of them, my friend Justin, is as firm in his beliefs as I am. I'm sure he could benefit from your stories as well as I. Do me a favor though, don't say I'm immature because I don't think I'm afaid of dying. I simply refuse to tiptoe through life, only to arrive safely at death. Semper Fi.

I need to find a school system located near my home that is comparable to the one my son goes to now.\nHow do I go about this? What type of questions do I ask?\nAny help would be greatly appreciated

First, you must decide on which other school system you want to visit. Then, actually make a trip to the school department and talk with the superintendent or assisstant superintendent.\n\nWhat you ask depends on what you want the school to be like. If you're looking for a strong academic school, ask about the state testing scores and how it compares to other school districts in the state. Also ask about how much each school's score has increased in the  past few years. \n\nAsk about the average SAT score of the students at the school and how it compares with other schools. \n\nFinally ask about graduation and drop out rate, environment, and soci-economic background of the students attending the school.\n\nIf you're looking for a strong athletic school, ask about how many state titles the school has won in the past few years and how many All-Americans they have produced.\n\nIf everything seems fine, make sure you bring your son to visit the school.

I love my dentist well not LOVE in a perv way, but seriously I get excited knowing I have a cleaning coming up.. I go every 6 months and I LOVE just laying back while they play around with my mouth...is there something wrong with me?

I have a few patients that I wonder about too.  But most of the patients that really like the cleanings are the ones that really like the salon's too.  They are generally the fastidious flossers.  One patient,  says that the ultrasonic scaler is like having an itch scratch in the middle of your back.  "you can never quite get enough, when it really itches"\n\n\nThe playing around in your mouth is not normal.

Lots of men are scared of children these days because of just being around them can bring trouble with the law


How does someone get invited to the White House? Do you have to be famous?

Really, all you have to do is be a close friend of a friend of a friend who is a friend of the President or First Lady. It is her house, and I guess she can do what she likes. I wasn't aware that Rory Emerald and Cher were invited to the White House, but I was aware that Jodie Foster was. Yes, I think if you are famous then that does count for some reason that you did get invited to the White House. Some people get invited because they support the party. By the way, is Jodie a democrat or republic? Overall, I have no problem with actress Jodie Foster, prankster Rory Emerald, and music legend Cher to be invited to the White House. I think it is actually quite cool!

I have stayed last Xmas two weeks there. I liked it a lot, wish to go again there. A lot of people speak English and German so you should have no problem, I didn't. Is is relatively cheap. For places to have fun there are a lot but you have to find them for yourself (this ca get very exciting actually)

I've been trying to get ideas in the net on learning if your marble furniture is pure or fake. they say that real marble is really cold even when the temperature is hot. Does that also apply to furniture i.e. marble top dining table? How do I know if I have a fake one or a real one?

Real marble is mainly calcium carbonate. Marble is limestone or dolomite that has been metamorphosed with heat and pressure. Pure calcite marble is white, but impurities produce a wide variety of colouring and patterns. The marble can not withstand sudden changes in temperature (it's colder than the environment), humidity, presence sulphurous gas in the atmosphere. To test if it's a real marble do a test in a small, hidden area: apply one drop of weak acid with eyedropper. Acid will fizz on contact with real marble.\nCaCO2 + HCl = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2\nThe test produces the characteristic fizz from the release of carbon dioxide only on calcium based stone, i.e., marble. The acid will not fizz on quartz or silicate-base (granite) stone, nor on synthetic material.\nCultured marble is a mixture of resin and ground marble. It is less expensive alternative to natural marble. \nFake marble or faux marble is a painting technique, it means the painting of painting surfaces so as to imitate the appearance of polished marble. It is typically used in buildings where the cost or weight of genuine marble would be prohibitive.\nScagliola is a technique for producing plasterwork columns, sculptures, and other architectural elements that resemble marble.\nArtificial marble contains a polymer / monomer, mica flakes, glass flakes, resin and other components, it is used for kitchen worktops because it is heat and scratch proof and chemically resistive. Marbelite is a synthetic, mouldable, artificial marble. Marbelite is made by heating potassium alum in water then added 10% heavy spar and marble dust. Synthetic materials may have lower initial costs but lose their gloss quickly and must be restored with waxes or finishes which give an artificial  look.\nIn the construction trade, the term "marble" is used for any massive, crystalline calcitic or non-calcitic rock useful as building stone.

Hypothetical: If a boy of say 15/16 yrs has a picture of his girlfriend of the same age semi dressed or naked? Is he in danger of arrest or prison time?

Yes, because the girl is still a minor and even with consent of having the picture taken he could face probation. Usually thosecases don't go that far. The female usually denies ever posing for a picture like that, but there are a few cases where the males got charged for possession of pornographic images of a minor, even though the pictures were given as gifts, and/or pranks. The few cases where the males had them but was showing them off, they also got longer probation periods. The cases where the images were gifts they usually had them images confiscated and did community service, paid fines, and had probation. The rare cases that it didn't matter how the images were obtained they got sentences, usually only about three-six months, and then probation.\nIn some cases the girls also got probation and also was order clinical evaluation.

Would you prefer it if the US invaded?  I mean despite some terrorist attacks, Iraq has better schools, better electrity and water, freedom of the press, free elections, freedom of religion, and more jobs than they had under the old regime and I hear Iran isn't doing so well right now.

You must be in the oil biz, or work for Haliburton.\n\nIraq has a very UNcivil war on it's hands, and the U.S. forces are not in control.  Stop reading white house press releases and go check out some international news sources, it's just possible it will open your eyes to some inequities and bias in the fox news(FOREIGN OWNED MAY I ADD)/white house information flow.\n\nAND, btw, do you SERIOUSLY THINK that Iranians are hanging out on yahoo, to chat with you?  Their war machine is producing weapons and infantry full tilt right now, they don't have time for this silliness.

i know this sounds daft but last year i got my daughter a paddling pool it wasnt huge but quite big and two of the neighbours went and got bigger, then we decided to do some major re-decorating (re flooring and such) and the two neighbours were both straight out to diy stores at first i found it funny this year ive got an 8 ft trampoline so one got 10ft and other got 12ft now its just plain annoying why do people have to go one better and they actually bragg about things they got bigger why why why why???????????

because they can, and want to show they can. They are probably up to their ears in debt trying to keep up and competing. Take a nice vacation from them. Better yet  let them think you are gone or let them know through someone else  you are going to a great 2 week vacation. They will both go for 4 and 6 and you will be able to enjoy yourself without them for a good while.


Does anyone know anyone who has had a W written into their visa page on their passport? My girlfriend came from the States to the UK, asked a simple question, "How long do I need to be out of the UK after my visitors visa expires before I can come back in again?"\n\nThey gave her the 3rd Degree, interviewed me by phone and almost refused her entry! She goes back to the States in June and we want to know what her chances are of getting back in again some time in July now that this 'W' is there and her name is on the IND computer system. Anyone's experience of this will be interesting to read.

Hi, you need her to confirm if she has been rejected for a visa to anywhere since she got the passport she is currently using? If she has this would be why a W was stamped into her passport. Anyone who has been rejected for a visa may get this stamp on there passport and it will last for the duration of the passport. As she was given entry clearance into the UK last time it shouldnt affect her coming back as long as she doesn't overstay or apply for public funds when she is here. This will apply to ever time she applies until she needs a new passport. When she needs a new passport I recommend she applies for a new one so the stamp want remain on her passport should she extend it.\n\nHope this helps \n\n\nmgi1975


We dated for about a year, nothing too serious, just kinda letting it go. She broke up with me one night for whatever reasons, and we pretty much just left each other alone for a while. We've been talking about it recently and dont have any grudges and are considering getting back together. I'm not really sure what i should do, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

why would you want to? and you are asking us , well if you gotta ask then this should tell you ..wouldnt you think?


If you get me to laugh ---- joke\nIf i can't figure out the answer ----riddle\n\nFor both jokes and riddles... include the answer

A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: he’s allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, "Bad food." They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says. "That’s not surprising," the elders say. "You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here."


when does it take effect? how many days I have to wait for me to be sure that I will not get pregnant? Is it true that I  have to take it for a month to be sure that I won't get pregnant?

If you start taking the pill on the first day of your next period, you are safe to have sex after 7 days. For the first seven days, if you are having sex, use a condom. Although you're less likely to have sex then as you'll be on your period.


I'm thinking Hughes. Gracie is good but the sport has changed and Hughes is just nasty at taking people out! I can't wait to watch it!

hughes will dominate..he has jeremy horn helping him..and horn is one of the best at utilizing his jui-jitsu..and there is a reason why matt hughes is the best welterweight ever..and plus..graice has never fought somebodylike hughes..i dont even think he has fought a full fleged mixed martial artist
