When an Army captain asked this Marine Colonel for the direction of the line of retreat in Koto-ri Korea, this Colonel called his artillerymen, gave them the Army position, and ordered: "If they start to pull back from that line, even one foot, I want you to open fire on them." Turning to the captain, he replied, "Does that answer your question? \nWe're here to fight."

it has to do with the space program from 1952-present

A centrifuge is a device that NASA used to 1) test the effects of high gravity on the human body and 2) train astronauts as to the effects they would encounter during lift off.\n\nThe centrifuge is essentially a long arm mounted on a central pedestal, similar to a spinning sprinkler.  One end of the centrifuge contained a capsule that the astronaut or study subject would sit in facing the center of the centrifuge.  The other end has a counter weight.\n\nA powerful motor would spin the arm rapidly and centrifugal force would push the riders back towards the outside edge of the centrifuge.  The faster it spun, the stronger the apparent gravitational force.\n\nThe centrifuge has found its way into amusement parks with the opening of Mission:Space at Walt Disney World.  This attraction uses a centrifuge to simulate a trip into space.


What level of force is acceptable to defend oneself in an case of assault? If for example, A pushes B and B punches A in the face, could B say that he was defending himself?  I'm looking for legal opinion here, NOT ideas on whether it's sensible to punch someone because they gave you a shove (it's obviously not).  I'm also more interested in British/European e.g.s than all those crazy Americans ;)

The precedent set by the Crown vs Tony Martin was unclear, but the gist of it is... If you can convince a Jury that you had reason to believe your life is in danger, then lethal force is justified.\n\nIf you respond to a shove with a punch then that is what the police classify as a "Fray" and both parties are basically consenting participants in violence, and are both equally responsible.\n\nIf property is involved or threatened then the "victim" is usually considered to be in the right, but witnesses will be required unless there is little room for doubt (ie if property was actualy stolen).\n\nThe old adage "Property is 9/10ths of the law" is acually true!


I m planning to visit the USA soon, at the same time, I like to file a divorce there, becoz it is faster N maybe it will cost less than the Philippines. Is it possible to get a divorce there? plz help...I m in Love with someone in the USA N planning to get marry.

You have to live here for 6 months before filing.


I can understand unions stepping in on cases where "unfair" treatment of the worker is involved, however when members complain about workloads involved, they go on strike. There's millions of non-union workers in the country who work A LOT harder that some union workers do and for only a fraction of the pay. Union workers are no better trained than the non-union sector. \nIt seems that only in cases of GROSS incompetence can a worker be dismissed from a union job. Being stupid and/or lazy is OK though.\nIMHO this would be a far better and cheaper world to live in if we didn't have to overpay the stupid and lazy people on the workforce. How much do you think a Chevy would cost if you paid the plant / assembly worker 50% of what they're getting now?

1. Suppose you really love your job, you work really hard it at, and you are better than 90% of your peers.  Do you think your salary will reflect your superior work if your salary is negotiated by a union?\n\n2. Suppose you really hate your job, you hardly work at it, and you are worse than 90% of your peers.  Do you think your salary will reflect your inferior work if your salary is negotiated by a union?\n\nI agree - I don't believe in unions.

A GIRL I LIKE:\ni make her feel special, i try to get close to her, i'd rather be around alot, i hold her hands, actually it's according to the people's traditions and to the person himself, anyway she should know that somehow.\n\nA GIRL WHO LIKES ME BUT I DON'T LIKE:\nif i knew she loves me, there are three options:\n1- Ignore her totally. (it's too tough)\n2- Tell he in the face we are better as friends and nothing will devlope more because i don't feel attracted to you.\n3- I try to make her hate me in a certain situation.

I have already found out that it is a fact that habitual liars actually have more white matter in their brains, but why do they lie, even when confronted with physical truth??  I have someone very dear to me who is a habitual liar and i want to desperately want to understand why thes people lie, what is it all about, is it part of a personality disorder?

I wonder the same question. I think it probably is a personality disorder, because there are people who lie even when it is not "neccessary" to lie ...

Almost forgot, if you have already tried to install the AOL/Mcafee then you need to uninstall that, restart, before you try to uninstall Norton, you need to have Administrative privileges in Norton, go to    start.progroms.Norton and make sure you are logged in to it as admin.\n\n\nstart\ncontrol panel\nadd/remove programs\nremove anything with "Norton or Symantec"\nmy computer\nlocal disk (c)\nprogram files\nremove anything that says\n"Norton or Symantec"\nresstart the pc\n\nAs much as I despise Norton, I truly hate AOL so why you would want to switch is beyond me, but this should do it.  If not you may have to go in the registry as Norton makes it difficult to remove sometimes.\nGo to the Norton site and type in remove Norton 20** in the search and it will give you more detailed instructions if this doesn't work.


It is a known fact that all or almost all the known terrorists on planet earth today are muslims. What ideology is that portraying? Does Islam has as one of its core values hatred towards all people who do not adhere to its faith? What if the predominanatly Christian Western world decides to drop a nuclear bomb in every nation that does not embrace christianity? How will it go for mankind?

Its like saying all men are rapists.  All men want to dominate and hurt women.  All women are whores.  You just can't generalise like that.\n\nAnd actually not all terrorists are Islamic, there are more than enough terrorists destroying lives in Africa and South America and Ireland to mention a few places.  And these are predominantly christian lands.\n\nDon't be so prejudiced against people, because there are some nice Moslem people out there who are horrified by what the extremists are doing in the name of their faith.  It must be scary times for those who are peaceful to see themselves grouped together with the mass murderers and are subjected to force of ill-will from non-moslems who feel it is their right to punish moslems.\n\nIf a priest abuses a boy, we don't lynch mob all priests, we understand that he is a bad seed.  Similarly we aught not to categorise all moslems as the same.


"Because, the USA, Isreal and Russia do not go around threatening to whipe other countries off the map".\nI just wanted to say  itsmevic is right usa doesn't go threatening to whipe other countries ,THEY JUST DO IT.\nIranian's aren't to be trusted becuase of just saying  something.so how can others trust in USA while they have used there nuclear bombes in japan and iraq.(using bombs is really peaceful!!?!!)and killing people in other countries is fun for them.(see whats going on in abooghoraeb).

looking for psychology course info for a research paper. comparing projective lecture (slides, overhead projectors and computer projectors) to manual lecture (chalkboards and dry erase boards.  trying to determine if one is more effective than the other.  trying to determine which is more enjoyable.

A chalk board is a tool and similarly a computer should be understood as a tool for conducting your task i.e. the lecture.\n\nYou can overcome some limitations of a black board using a computer. Black board being static, you can create dynamic examples using a computer to aid your explanations.\n\nIf you are using a computer to just create animations for text that you write on the board, like the case of many lines of text that blast on to the screen one after the other in case of news headlines being displayed, I think the use of computer would degrade your lecture rather than improve it.\n\nA computer can never replace the lecturer or the black board.  \n\nDoesn't using written placards instead of writing on the board create a low opinion about the lecturer/teacher in the minds of the student.\n\nhttp://wwww.futureaccountant.com/\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/


I want a system to capture video (older home VHS movies) and edit and burn them to DVD's as well as plug in a cassette player and record tapes and burn them to CD's.  \n \nI want a nice fast system.  I did some research and thought that I came up with the best.\n \nAMD Athlon 64 x2 4400\nAsus A8N-32 SLI Deluxe\n2 GB Corsair ram\nPlextor PX-740A \n \nBut the problem is the videocard, what is the best way to capture the signal and get it into the computer?  An ATI All-in-Wonder or some 2.0 USB device?  I don't plan on getting into gaming, so do I need or would it be a waste of money to get an SLI board?  I already have a new in the box S -Blaster Audigy 2 zs Platinum card with the up front connections.  \n \nAny advise would be GREATLY appreciated!\n \nThanks,\nDon

A/V add 0n card (such as AverMedia DVD EZMaker PCI) or USB A/V capture device (such as CameraMate) can.You can choose one among many kind of capture device at Fry's Electronics.Free software comes with device can help capture A/V from tape to computer and burn to DVD.Choose DVD VIDEO format as output.A single layer DVD can store 1 hour 20 minutes with image quality same as original,if longer,image quality will be decreased.If you have dual layer DVD burner and good software,such as Nero6 or Nero7,you can capture 2 hours 20 minutes movie onto dual layer DVD disk with quality same as original.If you want to edit movie,you have to capture to DV format.But many brands of dual layer DVD will stop at one point during playing back movie.Only one brand does not stop (as I know so far) is Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5 Gb.Good luck !

My bro is a big alcoholic i would like to try help him stop for good.

Sorry, But unfortunitly, you can't help him. UNLESS of curse he wants help. I have a brother who has basically lost everything. House, Wife, Family and most of his friends. Why because he is a BIG TIME DRUNK. He wakes up by the bottle, he goes to sleep with the bottle, and he most likely will die by the bottle. He recently went to jail. YES for aocohol related stuff. He spent 3 months in jail. He couldn't smoke or drink any alcohol. Now keep in mind he was there for three months. I picked him up when he got released and took him home. His girlfriend later told me that when she got to his apartment he was DRUNK and smoking away. Good luck tho I hope he makes it.


I love Days of our lives, and I wish John and Marlena would get back together, and I wish Bo and Hope would get back together, and I wish Belle and Shawn would get back together.\nI cannot stand Billie, she is such a you know what.

The whole point of soap operas is to provide conflict that we ache to have resolved. It's what keeps us watching. Billiw is fruit that didn't fall far from the tree. All of Kate's kids are screwed up and they all want somebody that will creat havoc for a couple. I can't wait to see how Kate keeps her distance from the Lucas/Austin/Carrie/Sami quadrangle. No matter what, she's going to hurt one of her kids.\n\nOh and by the way, I know it will wreak havoc, but I'd love to see Belle with Shawn.

Tuesday when I was using the restroom I was pushing a lot. Which I guess is putting pressure on the muscles of the bladder. Could that be the problem that will take some time to go away or by more water?The last few months or more I use the restroom every 3 hours or more. Using the restroom a lot has started on Monday. During these few days i have lasted 3 hours several times. But I have been using the restroom a lot. I dont eat much junk food anymore. I do eat a lot of bread of course. I don't drink soda anymore. I never drink alcohol.

Urinary frequency can be due to incomplete emptying, bladder muscle instability, urinary tract infection(usually accompanied by pain with voiding)increased urine production - common with high blood sugars, or in hypertensives after drug changes.\nYou need an evaluaton if your urinary habits have changed.

I need some adviced on how to be just a friend to an ex-lover without treating her as if we are still in a relationship. I Truly just want to be a friend to her and nothing more. You see in my heart I was force to this. I'm very much still in love with her but she's loving someone else and nothing hurts more then to watch the one you love love some one else. But she says that she's still in love with me too but actions are differently then when my heart felt it to be so. I dont doubt that she don't love me but still in love with me no I don't beleive so. I just dont want to be in love all by myself because it's no fun. My mind wants to let go so she can continue to be happy without me causing conflit where it shouldn't be any. If she has moved on then why can't my heart do the same. Maybe it's the years that we had together. I guess I should mention that we do talk ona daily basis as friends but always arguring about her new lover. I don't want to do that anymore. How can I be a friend

I totally understand what you have been through.  I think she could still be your friend but the question is NOT NOW. You have to move on no matter how hard it is.  You have to re-establish yourself with someone else, and be a whole again...before you can be friend with your ex.  It is very selfish of her to keep 2 men around.  Be strong and let her know that it is for the best. If she still cares about you, this is the least she can do for you.

i need this for a history report i need a lot of info ont the king oliver and his jazz career by monday.

Joe Oliver is one of the most important figures in early Jazz. When we use the phrase Hot Jazz, we are really referring to his style of collective improvisation (rather than solos). He was the mentor and teacher of Louis Armstrong. Louis idolized him and called him Papa Joe. Oliver even gave Armstrong the first cornet that Louis was to own. Oliver was blinded in one eye as a child, and often played while sitting in a chair, or leaning against the wall, with a derby hat tilted so that it hid his bad eye. Joe was famous for his using mutes, derbies, bottles and cups to alter the sound of his cornet. He was able to get a wild array of sounds out of his horn with this arsenal of gizmos. Bubber Miley is said to have been inspired by his sound. Oliver started playing in New Orleans around 1908. At various times he was a member of several of the marching bands like The Olympia, The Onward Brass Band, The Original Superior and the Eagle Band. He often worked in Kid Ory's band and in 1917 he was being billed as "King" by the bandleader. In 1919 he moved to Chicago with Ory and played in Bill Johnson's The Original Creole Orchestra at the Dreamland Ballroom. He toured with the band, but when he returned to Chicago in  1922 he started King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band at Lincoln Gardens (459 East 31st Street). Oliver imported his protégé Louis Armstrong from New Orleans. The band also included Johnny Dodds , Honore Dutrey, Lil Hardin and Baby Dodds among others. The group's 1923 sessions were a milestone in Jazz, introducing the playing of Louis Armstrong to the world. Unfortunately the Creole Jazz Band gradually fell apart in 1924. Oliver went on to record a pair of duets with pianist Jelly Roll Morton that same year, and then took over Dave Peyton's band in 1925, renaming it the Dixie Syncopators. Oliver moved the band to New York in 1927, where he made some lousy business decisions, like turning down the regular gig at the Cotton Club, that went on to catapult Duke Ellington to fame. Oliver had a life long sweet tooth. He was famous for his love of sugar sandwiches, This of course led to dental problems that made playing his cornet very painful. On top of that he was suffering from a bad back. In 1929 Luis Russell took over the Dixie Syncopators and changed the name to Luis Russell and his Orchestra. Oliver continued to record until 1931, but he was quickly becoming a forgotten name. He continued to tour the South with various groups, until he ran out of money and settled in Georgia, where he worked as a janitor in a poolroom up until his death in 1938. \n\nhttp://www.redhotjazz.com/kingo.html\n\nOther sites you could visit are:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_%22King%22_Oliver\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/jazz/biography/artist_id_oliver_joe_king.htm\n\nhttp://www.riverwalk.org/profiles/oliver.htm\n\nhttp://www.promotega.org/asu30026/jazzkingoliver.html\n\nHope this helps!


What did Jesus Christ reply when he was asked by a young man... "What is the most important commandment?"  Was it one of the "TEN COMMANDMENTS"?

When Jesus was asked this question, He replied \n"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."\nMatthew 22:37-40

As of now, I can turn it on and go to favorites or where I've been, without using my password. There has to be a way to put a control on this.

See I like this guy, I know he likes me too, we use just go out here and there. Then we just stop. I know he likes me. But why doesnt he just ask me out?

The answer is a combination of several factors.\n\nThe skin is designed so as to limit "wrinkling" while swimming. (hydrodynamics) If u look at the skin closely, they consist of placoid scales which r smooth in one direction (swimming direction), and rough in the other direction.\n\nSharks r seriously buffed up, which aids in generating work.\n\nFins stabilise the body to prevent it from swimming upside down or in a circle\n\nThey belong to the chondrichthyes... cartilaginous fishes. This skeletal system is lighter than boney frames and allows for greater flexibility. Both characteristics COULD help in swimming. (There r, however, many fast marine animals with boney frames such as the dolphin or swordfish).\n\nThe tail is the main propulsion force. Which works in coordination with it's respiratory and circulatory system. As water passes over the gills, the lamellae r oxygenated, and at the same time release waste products (co2). So, if the shark swims slowly, the respiration rate decreases... and if he doesn't swim at all, he suffocates. I guess sharks swim fast because they have to. Haha. I hope that's helpful.


I think it was a conspiracy and there were explosives in the building planted by our government...just wanting know what anyone who was in the building heard or saw?

There is no way to answer that question without more information such as whether you are referring to a state, federal or local law.  Once you specify the jurisdiction, someone might be able to show you where to look up the law and read what the penalties are.


don't know where to go to find an application for an assumed business name

You go to the courthouse in your city/county.  Just call them up and they'll tell you where to go.  No doubt they have the blank forms to fill out there in the same office you turn it in to be processed.\n\nOften they have to be notarized and even have notary publics at the courthouse to do it for you, for a price.  If not, notaries aren't hard to find in the yellow pages.\n\nGood luck!

Diagnosed with MS last May.  Lost job as well as insurance (couldn't afford COBRA).  SSI claim denied, so I will lose Medicaid at the end of the month.  I have already contacted an organization about helping with medication, but still need to have regular doctor visits.  Any ideas?

call a lawyer (preferably one that does pro bono work) and see if they can appeal on your SSI case alot of times they deny on the first and second cases just because they can (have a friend on SSI). Talk to your doc about pro bono work.. they can take it off on their taxes.


I receive SSI- my sole source of income. This month I am not eligible to receive my usual monthly payment-so now I cannot pay my $675.00 rent.  Where can I get an emergency cash grant immediately in Sacramento?  I wouldn't even care if it were one that I would have to pay back!

But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.


i,d like to know if u like to be in dubai.

i was there and i love to be there , but not in Summer..


Whenever you look at books or whatever about countries or what not you see that the women always lives longer than the men. why do women live longer then men?

women do not go to war\nthey exercise when they do chores\nthey are more conscious about their bodies

i dont mean Van Hellsing. Hellsing is an anime series that i really need to finish. (im obsessed, i know)

If you have WinAmp, you can view all the episodes on WinAmp's internet tv. You can download the trial version of WinAmp at www.winamp.com. Not sure if internet tv is with the trial version or not. I payed $15 for the full version of it.


Yes I know it's stupid question, but I can't find the answer in my O'Reilly DNS and Bind book or Yahoo.

just to add to the first answer, /24 means 24 binary positions used for subnet.\n\neach segment of your IP address are representing binary bits. \n\nlets say 192.168.1.20 =11000000.10100000.00000001.00010100\n\nso in a subnet maskif it says 24 in bynary it looks like this:\n\n11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000\nwhich is:\n255.255.255.0\nthe amount of 1´s is 24.\n\nlet´s look at 27:\n11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000\nwhich is:\n255.255.255.224\n\nI don´t know if you needed this info but I thought it might help you see that you don´t need it for DNS.


Which school is better for my major Chemical Engineering: University of California, Berkeley or University of California, San Diego. Please tell me why it would be better i.e. opportunities after graduation

i dont know where you want to proceed in your career after you get your degree,but ive got a lot of friends in the army,the national guard,and other branchs as well that got their training in the millitary and love every sec of it.I mean they get to travel the world, or stay close to home like the national guard or reserves.Plus once you get out the millitary you have one of the highest recomemdations of all.Right now you may think im a recuriter or something ,but in fact im not im a regular soldier in the national guard.My mos is millitary police.Currently im a security guard,ive already been accepted for the police dept but choose not to take the job until i turn 21.i stay close to home(20 min)and im very happy with the way i got my job and training.


I've never spoken to this boy aswell... What body language would he give off? What Eye contact? In depth please!

Why don't you make it easy on yourself instead of spending hours trying to figure it out.  Just ask him, if he does great, if he doesn't well then move on love there are plenty more where he came from.\n\nalso read on it may help\n\nHow to know when a guy likes you \n\nHere's how to know if some one likes you: 1. Keep an eye on how many times you catch her/him staring at you. 2. Take notice of whether s/he smiles at you a lot. 3. Look for whether s/he focuses on you in a crowd. 4. Observe if s/he has suddenly taken more interest in your friends. 5. Pay attention to any significan't changes in her/his behavior toward you recently. 6. Start showing her/him a bit more interest and see how they respond. 7. Have a friend talk to her/him or one of her/his friends about you. 8. Ask, '[name], are you interested in me?' Tips: Hopefully you will not have to use steps 7 or 8, but if you're having difficulty reading her/him, these steps are your last resort! Remember, this is not an exact science, and it may take a few mistakes to perfect your technique. \n\nThe easiest way to tell (for anyone) is to just take an innocent step into their personal space. If they aren't interested then they will step away. If they are interested then they will set closer boundries for you and will therefore not mind your closer-than-normal presense. \n\nOne of the signs that a boy likes you is when he always teases you or makes fun/jokes. \n\nHe seems to find reasons to be with or near you. He may come up with what you think are lame or legit reasons to speak to you, call you, ask something. Try watching if he looks into your eyes or at least eye contact when he talks to you. Does he find ways to be closer to your body, near you, sit close or on the same side of the room as you? Does he talk to you instead of at you? Does he want your opinion? Cares what you have to say? Does he seem to be around you often, when he can? Does his face lighten up or seem to go from stress to unstressed when you walk in or say hello? A guy may not be obvious about it either, especially if he's shy, or maybe a little unsure of himself, which doesn't mean he's a loser at all but probably warmer from with in or more depth to him, more sensitive. \n\nBoys might not tell you directly, but they may tell someone. Or perhaps when you are not around but your friend is there he will ask for you. \n\nYou will know if a guy likes you because he will not hesitate to make eye-contact; he will either stare if he thinks you won't notice or hold your gaze when you catch him in the act (if he has a lot of confidence). If a guy is interested, he will also go out of his way to be as near you as possible without being obvious. Of course, the rules don't apply to all men, but generally, if he likes you, you WILL know it, without a doubt. \n\nI'm a guy and I think it depends, and different guys are different. Eye contact and attention isn't always the best way to tell. If a guy is shy he may get intimidated by girls he likes and actually make less eye contact \n\nI'm a guy, and I find it real hard to let a girl know I like her. I try to be funny, I smile (because I can't help it), I try to be close to her, but I can't verbally let her, or anyone know. Many guys have the same problem. \n\nI'm a guy. If a guy is into you, he will ask you out, or he'll most definitely go out with you when you ask him first. There are no exceptions to that rule, unless he was with someone else at the time and wants to be true to them. So unfortunately, if a guy does not go out with you when you ask him out, he does not like you. \n\nHere are some of the signs: he acts distracted when he's around you and fumbles for things. From the corner of your eye you think he is looking at you but when you look up he turns away abruptly and you think you are imagining things. He tries to like all the things you do. Your instinct tells you that he fee


I've read some of the King James Version, and alot of the New Internation Version Bibles. Which should I buy for my first ever Holy Bible? To study and bring light into the world?

I like the Amercian Standard Bible.  When studying, it is good to have a few versions to look at, since English is not the orginal language of the Bible, the translations vary slightly.  If you read more than one version, you will have a better understanding of the original intention of the writer.\n\nMost importantly, as you study, pray and ask God to reveal himself to you through His Word, and you will receive insight you could never grasp on your own.\n\nKeep reading!


I HAVE THIS FRIEND WHO I MET MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO.  WE BECAME BEST FRIENDS AND WE HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND. WELL, THE THREE OF US GOT ALONG PRETTY WELL, THE THING IS THAT NOW MY FRIEND WHO I MET 2+ AGO, HAS A BOYFRIEND.  FROM A COUPLE OF MONTHS TO NOW, SHE IS DISTANT ANS HAS TWO FACES.  SHE IS ALWAYS APART FROM US AND WHEN WE INVITE HER TO GO TO EAT OR WATCH A MOVIE, SHE SAYS SHE HAS "THINGS" TO DO, HER HEAD HURTS, HER MOM DOESN'T LET HER, OR WORSE, SHE DOESN'T EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE.  I HAVE CLASSES WITH HER AND SHE ACTS FRIENDLY WHEN SHE WANTS TO COPY MY WORK... THAT STINKS!!! AND THE WORSE THING I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!! IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP ME, I WILL BE SO GRATEFUL... (YOU SIMPLY DON'T WISH TO BE IN MY SITUATION.)

TELL HER STRAIGHT OUT.  SHE HAD U AND YOUR OTHER FRIENDS FIRST SO SHE SHOULD RESPECT YOUR COURAGE TO TELL HER THAT EVEN WITH HER NEW BOYFRIEND. SOMETIMES FRIENDS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN BOYFRIENDS AND IF SHE DOESNT UNDERSTAND THAT SHE ISNT THE KIND OF FRIEND U SHOULD WANT IF SHE KEEPS DITCHING U.


On 3-10, GOOBER asked the question-what size are your boobies. That seemed to upset you women, but why? You`ll do almost anything to enhance their size then expose them as much as possible legally, have them photographed for the world to see and then think a question about their size is too personal. Give me a break.

have you ever heard of the feminine mystery? here it is...


before you get all high and mighty how you're going to round up/kill/deport these poor, hard-working people, did you ever consider that the government might have been complicit in this whole thing.  turning a blind eye to businesses hiring these illegals.

and i'm grateful it happened. because my mother crossed the river illegally i was given the opportunity to be educated and give back to my community. we never received government aid of any kind growing up even when our cupboards were empty. we wore hand-me-downs and suffered the judgement of our peers for our accents and poverty. our parents slaved to provide just the basics and nary a government check passed through our hands. \ni accept that mexicans make a great scapegoat. the nation's ills have been diagnosed and it is far easier to treat the symptom than to make a diagnosis. perhaps if more people learned to question the business than blame the worker then maybe we could understand where the blame is better placed.


just quit smoking, want to make sure i dont gain a ton of weight

Exercise is imperative - not just for stress, but to help cleanse your body of toxins from smoking history.  I quit smoking four weeks ago.\n\nLots of water and whole, real foods (potatoes, pasta, vegetables, pork, chicken, spinach, tofu - all bought from the grocery store for me to prepare) not pre-prepared foods, even if it's Lean Cuisine.  Too much sodium makes you edgy.\n\nBananas, by the way, are the wonderfood for quitting smoking, not gaining weight, and not freaking out during the process.\n\nBest site to check out what you're really eating:  www. nutritiondata.com


i have a report to do about the amish and their traditional economic systems. It is due soon so i would like the answer quicky please\nthankyou

well the amish live without electricity. they have very strict rules about religion and their group standards. women do not wear pants, they cannot wear showy colors (black, browns, blues only) they work very hard constantly.  when an amish turns a certain age, they are allowed to experiment with other cultures to decide what they want to be for their lives. there are so many things about the amish, i would get a book about them

This guy passes right by me and he sarts showing signs that he likes me.

sometimes, depends on the guy I'd like you and I don't know you.  but If I got to know you then it would be a certain thing.  some guys just want whats under your clothes not your skin. Get back to me when you get this resolved firedgaffney@yahoo.com


Does anyone know a FM receiver circuit using SONY CXA 1619 IC. of course, i am feeling lucky, so plz reply soon. thx

If your into IC applications, you must know that most manufacturer's provide engineers with specification sheets and application examples on their websites. For example, if you go to the Analog Devices Inc website, you'll find tons and tons of application data.\nhttp://www.analog.com/\nThey even have evaluation boards for testing their ICs.\nSo go to the manufacturer's websites and you'll find all the information you need.

Im saying if you dont know what love is then u are not ready for love. as u all can see, many people have different answers on what is love, so basically, u will never get a solid answer, u would have to define Love in yo own words.feel me? so y do people keep askin?

Good question, 'love' is such an umbrella term for the whole gamut of human attraction feelings. I guess the only way you know you love someone is if you put them first before yourself all the time. Personally I think this is a crazy idea, which is why I won't fall in love, nor will I lie to someone either. I think people need to be more honest and not say things that their partner wants them to say but they don't feel. Love is what you make of it, everyone has their own set of rules for it. To ask others what it is, is like saying what is the definition of chocolate flavoured ice cream? You can bet it tastes different every place you have it. Chocolate is a good substitute for love anyway, so eat that!


Normally I don't go broadcasting this, but I have a big, fat, johnson, now, what I want to know is should I tell girls this or not?\n\nI have not so far, but I'm begining to wonder if I should.\n\nI am being serious too, every girl I have ever slept with has told me the same thing, one of them was actually scared.\n\nSo, do I tell them or just keep it a secret?

No don't bring it up because girls will think that you are an idiot and full of yourself if you bring something up like that in conversation... Anyways it is always the mystery of it all that gets the ladies all excited, you always wonder does he have a big one or a small one??? You said one girl was scared you did not give us measurments, i say if the dating thing does not work for you then you should go into the porn industry...

I know it is some form of glue. Most glue sticks to other stuff and doesn't come off.

It was actually a mistake. A chemist working for an adhesives company was trying to make a new adhesive. When he showed it to his bosses they discarded the idea, after all, what good is an adhesive that doesn't really hold that well. Not wanting to trash his invention, the man bought all rights to it and played with some ideas to market the adhesive. Eventually, he noticed people tacking or taping notes around the office and the post-it was born!


I had a P/T training , didnt know was going to be paid for that. Have got $20 for attending the same. But I didnt cash the check as I am not allowed to take a 2nd job. Do I need to report the income on my returns although I havent cashed the check?

Even if you  don't cash the check the one who paid you reported it to the IRS so you will be in trouble if you don't attach the W2 to your form.


do you remember all those "don't get sucked into peer pressure" lectures you've had forever? at my high school, it seems like i'm the ONLY person not doing drugs or drinking...everybody, even the people i've known since elementary school, is doing it...am i the only one who doesn't...or am i just a loser?  does anybody else feel the same pressure i do?

I am going to put a "watch" on this question, so that later on my 16 year old daughter can answer it, too.  Like you she doesn't drink, or do drugs. She also has not had sex. And yes, sometimes she has felt lonely, and like the odd person, but as time has gone by she has made friends with other kids like her, though that took a little time to find them.\n\nI think, at least, I hope you know, you are not a loser. I am thinking that you and my daughter might be somewhat alone in feeling the peer pressure, though-- and you want to know why? Because in order to feel pressure, you have to resist and the ones who are all "doing it" have NOT resisted, they just gave in. Now they pressure you because the fact you resist when they didn't shows them to be the losers, the weak, the easily led. \n\nGood luck to you.  High school does end one day, but a quality life is forever.


If i'm at a website, and i want to mail something to myself,\ncan I?

Of course you can. Just put in your e-mail address in the "Send" box and then put your email address in the "To" box. It still works.


how do you believe the united states can benefit from the construction of the u.s-mexican border wall from preventing terrorism, illegal immigrants and drug smuggling?

How many of you out there remember this same BS when the Soviets were building the Berlin wall?  Ask the Russians and Germans how much they benefited from building their wall to keep out undesireables.  Oh wait, the Soviet Union is no more and the Germanys are back together and the wall came tumbling down.\n\nGo read some history about the great wall of China.  Why it was built and why it didn't work either.


before any chemical reaction occurs ,there is an environmental temperature i.e. the temperature of chemicals or temperature of inside of vessel. according to Arrehanius equation decrasing the temperature makes reaction rate one half ( roughly) and we know at zero Kelvin, there is no kinetic energy for molecules then it is logical we deduce even for a very fast reaction like detonation or explosion there is a range for minimum temperature of reaction like -120 to -150 celsius degree or any range in extreme low temperature.Is this deduction correct? if it is what is this range roughly?

Well theoretically, above absolute zero. But practically, we can't reach absolute zero, so reactions can occur at any temperature humans can reach. We achieved to reach couple nano kelvins but we still have decades to reach absolute zero, if it is possible.


Are there any words i can substitute for "to be verbs"?

You mean like instead of saying:  "What is your name?"  you can just say: "And your name?" \n\nOr instead of saying:  "Isn't she gorgeous?"  you can say:  "Doesn't she look gorgeous?"  \n\nYeah, just use the auxiliary verb to form the sentence, for example.  ...I can think of other ways too, but it's only fair for you to do at least part of your homework yourself!!! ;-)

It seems the answer changes about every other day.

The answer changes because there isn't just one right one. Power cycling your machine stresses parts as they heat up and cool down, cope with inrush current as they come on, and so on. This is not good for the life of these parts, but if they're able to survive for a decade you probably won't care by the time they fail as the machine will have been retired in favor of the much more powerful computer hat that will be available.  \n\nHowever, only the military and the space people design stuff to such high levels of reliability, and even they (or their suppliers) get it wrong on occasion. \n\nSo the question you're really asking is, will power cycling my machine more often than x times cause trouble. And there's no one answer to that. Leaving the machine on causes problems (dust deposition impeding proper cooling if nothing else) and uses electricity, so that's bad. Turning it on and off causes problems (that stress stuff mentioned above), so that's bad too. And leaving it off, isn't so hot since you can't use it when it's off. \n\nThe answer to your question is therefore a sort of balancing act you must perform, but without full information for your particular machine on the relative damage / costs being caused by leaving on as contrasted to turning on and off. \n\nThe best (not definitive) answer I've ever found is to turn it off when you (or someone) won't be using it for a few hours. If you'll be back in 15 don't bother -- except that security issues may suggest you not leave any software running or that you should log off or some such. Gone for the evening, turn it off. \n\nA last point has to do with particular parts. All sorrs of  monitors can burn a pernament pattern into the screen if left on for long periods. That's why there are screensavers, to keep the display changing while nothing else is going on. And CRT type monitors both draw a substantial amount of power (Energy Star monitors will shut down to a 'warm off' if not used for a while), but also have quite high voltages internally which cause more than the usual amount of electrical stress on insulation, capacitors, and such. And the LCD screens use cold flourescent tubes to back light the screen; they're expensive to replace in almost all cases, so their limited lives shouldn't be frittered away in useless idleness. Even if you don't turn off the rest of the machine, consider turning off the monitor. \n\nYou should also consider that the mechanical bits will have a limited life. Consider hard disks. If your machine keeps the disks spinning whenever the power is on, you shouldn't leave it a 'rotatin when the machine isn't being used. Disk death may take data with it and that's not a nice thing. Perhaps even a complete disaster. Many machines shut down drive rotation after a certain duration of disk inactivity. Check yours to see what it does. \n\nSame goes for cooling fans (in power supplies, mounted on the CPU, or video processor chip, attached to the back of the chassis). Some CPUs (and video processors) draw so much current that, without the fan cooling, they will fail permanently from runaway overheating in minutes if the fan fails. Some systems have temperature monitors for the CPU (and alomst never for the video processor chips) which will cause an emergency shutdown of the machine if the temperature goes too high (ie, if the CPU fan fails). Yours might, and that's good, but your software had better not loose data when that happens, or scribble all over the hard disks as the power goes down. If it doesn't, you probably don't want to leave it on when someone isn't around to take quick action if something fails. If you get an option, the ball bearing fans have longer lives than the roller bearing ones. But they cost more. \n\nThere are multiple considerations in answering your question, as you can see.


Have you ever thought "Just once I would like someone to say they appreciate who you are, how hard you work, having you a a friend, that you look really beautiful today, etc."?? \n\nDo you think it is mean to ask for exactly what you want? Well, today is your day! So, just once you'd like ... ? If you wish it, it can happen.

Just once, would i like to find someone who loves me, is there for me, is willing to make some sacrifices for me, will actually call me, will remember anniversarys, birthdays, and special days, who will comfort me when i'm down instead of having no idea what to do, to find unconditional love, to really be able to lose some serious weight, stick to diets, and there is so much more but i don't want to spam up your page.\n\nthat was a good release for me. i thank you for asking the question.


I hear that detoxing your body with diet/herbs can help trememndously.  It helps to boost energy levels & immune system.  Does anyone have any suggestions on diet...what's allowed or not allowed?

BumperBuffer is correct, there really is no such thing as "detoxing" your body. Because you can never completely regenerate your body like that (with the stuff that is in our food and the chemicals in the air--it is beyond impossible.) Plus when you drown yourself in herbs and diet shakes, you are only filling your body with more stuff. The key is natural stuff (the kind of natural that doesn't cost $59.95 per month)--I'm talking about 'al natural' water, food, and pure fun. However, I do understand what you mean---it is good to "clean out" your system and renew your body. Who doesn't want something like that? \n\nWhat helps when doing such a thing is focusing on the basic principles of your body: physical, emotional/mental, and social. Really, all you need is a weekend of just "you" time, then it naturally becomes part of your lifestyle. Drink water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables--then eat a piece of chocolate cake (it can be large too--as long as you only have one slice ;)), exercise, go shopping, have a girls' night with your friends...the key to a boosted metabolism is as much physical as it is mental. Chemicals probably effect it--but stress is a key factor to lowered metabolism/energy and weakened immune system. \n\nMy point is you should watch you eat--but you don't have to count every calorie. You can eat that piece of apple pie or peach cobbler. You can experiment with exercises and workouts that make you feel like a million bucks afterward. You should drink water (64 ounces everyday)--but if you DO...you can have that glass of wine on Sunday. Talk to friends, read a book--WRITE a book, you know?\n\nDetoxing has nothing to do with herbal teas, diet pills, or cutting every ounce of unhealthly thing in your life. Balance: feel good about yourself. The best part is, when you are exercising...and you like what you are doing, you are confident, you love who you are and your stress level is at the bare minimum---check that metabolism rate, see how long you can go without nap, and count how many colds you get a year.\n\nGood luck.


(and please explain the two if you're going to answer).

For a REAL answer...Republicans generally tend to want the power to go to the states and don't believe in big government (hence the tax cuts).  Democrats generally DO want lots of federal power and believe that government-sponsored programs will cure everything.  Obviously my answer is biased too, but at least I put some thought into it.  Also, Republicans tend to be much more conservative in their moral views than Democrats.\n\nOne more thing- Both parties are made up of the rich and the poor.  Hollywood tends to be Democratic (uber rich), and people who USE government programs (uber poor) are also usually Democrats.  Republicans are made up of uber rich CEO types as well as working class people who just want to be able to use their money the way they see fit rather than have the government support the afore mentioned group of Democrats.\n\nI can't stay away from this thread!  3rd time today...I'm a teacher in a public school- not at all rich...and I'm Republican.  So it's not all about rich people vs poor people (as I mentioned above).


I just get hung up when trying to find the derivative of (sqrt(t)+1).  Otherwise any recommendations on resources?

The quotient rule is basically the denominator times the derivative of the numerator, minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the denominator squared.  So, if f(x) was the numerator and g(x) was the denominator, the derivative would be:\n\ng(x) f ' (x) - f(x) g ' (x) / (g(x))^2.  \n\nThe answer I got when I did it was -1/(2 (t^1/2) (t^1/2 + 1)^2.


because if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.  It's just like people with money, the more they have, the more they want...


when you under arrest by cop, what will he say about our law rights? Are the rights not differs in each country?

In the U.S., when you are arrested, the police must read you the Miranda warning before you can be questioned.  \n\nThough every U.S. jurisdiction has its own regulations regarding what, precisely, must be said to a person when they are arrested, the typical warning is as follows:\n\n"You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at no cost. During any questioning, you may decide at any time to exercise these rights, not answer any questions, or make any statements."\n\nFor equivalent laws in other countries see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning#Equivalent_rights_in_other_countries


whats the best kind of european cars in everything speed preformance handeling and accelration

First of all, the Eclipse is NOT a eurpoean car. The Eclipse is made by Mitsubishi... in Japan. The Eclipse is an IMPORT not a EURO car.\n\nOnto the European cars..\nThe main european car companies (in my mind) tend to be the German companies: VW, BMW, Meredes-Benz, Porsche, Audi, etc.\nThe "best" German company, in my mind, is Porsche, because they are the cream of the crop. They are very comfortable, they have unparalleled braking power, and they certainly aren't slow...\nHowever, the most practical european car would most likely be the BMW 3 or 5 series. They have everything a person would want in a european car, without costing as much as a Porsche. They aren't in the same league, but they're semi-comparable.\n\nHope this helps!

This effectively speeding up some areas of your PC that can slow it down over time, and frees up some space.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com\n\nAny of the anti-spyware programs listed above (Adaware, Spybot, Microsoft Anti-Spyware) work great in conjunction with CCleaner.  I'de run them both once or twice a week!  Don't forget to defragment your computer every few months!  Good luck, you won't regret using these programs.


numerous  times, blacks  are  on  the  recieving  end  of  white  dominated  violence,  killings,  taunts,  remarks,  etc. what  is  it  that   blacks  have  done  to  whites,  that they- blacks,  that  make  them  to  deserve  this  racially  biased  treatment[s],  bearing  in  mind  the  trauma  of  slave  trade  that  blacks   suffered  in  the  hands  of  whites  some   decades   ago.

If your speaking historically, it's just a matter of who invented guns and boats first. Africans did enslave other African tribes for centuries before whites got there, and if they had the technology to get to Europe first, then whites would have been on the receiving end.


I have an old Compaq machine with Windows 2K installed on it. I do not remember the admin password, ence cannot log into the machine. I want to completely re-image this machine with XP Professional. I don't care for the data, since I found this laptop sitting in my closet for over a year now.\n\nIf you know and can share how I can achieve this, it will be highly appreciated.\n\nThanks.

Just pop in the XP boot disk and this should get you started! But f you don't get that far, well, check the jumper and take off the little cover, that will clear the password.

What is the regular time period for menstruation to last once it has started? it seems as though every period i get it starts to last longer and longer and i know they say that once you've had it for awhile it will get on a regular schedule and time period, but that has not been the case for me. Does that mean there maybe a problem with me or is this normal?

Firstly, it depends how old you are, and how old you were when you first started menstruating. The older you were, the better in most cases.\n\nSecondly, is there a history of this problem in your family, esp. on your mum's side? What about any sisters or female cousins. There might be a genetic element to your problem (I use that word in the loosest possible sense!)\n\nThirdly, you might have endometriosis, fibroids or even poly-cystic ovary syndrome (although with PCOS, most women's periods stop, not get heavier.)\n\nThe "textbooks" say that a period *should* last anywhere from 3-7 days, and the b*tch of it is that the lighter your period, the shorter it usually is too - so that means that heavy periods mean long periods too. How's that for unfair?!?!?\n\nIf it is only upto about 5 years since your periods started then they STILL may not have settled into a routine. Have you considered using the pill or a diaphragm?\n\nI have PCOS and the soulcysters website provided me with a lot of good information.\n\n\nHope this helps,\n\nStedders


even though i'm a girl i agree with that lifestyle! stop the anxiety and stuff! don't drink'n'drive, smoke'n'fly!

It's living a dream. Having fun and not worrying about the consequences.


I recommend diet and exercise.  If there were a diet pill that actually worked, there would only be one on the market, and nobody would be fat.


I am writing a 2 page report in my math class need some feedback  I am wanting to explain how loans will help people in their everyday life and why this is important.

Well even if you do have the money for something by taking a mortage loan you can get what you want and keep quite a bit of money in your account to use on other things.  You do end up paying more in the long run it just allows you to have it payed at a slower rate and especially for people new out of college they arent making as much as they probably will 10 years down the line


i was crying my eyes out she was so nice to me and now shes gone 4-ever. i need some lovin not the boyfrend girlfrend kind just some prayers.please! i miss her so.

thats really really sad. i kind of know how you feel. one of the guys who went to my school got killed in a hunting accident and my great grandma died a couple of years ago. i know it really hurts i wasn't even really that close to the guy who got shot and i still am not really over it even though it was way back in november... i will pray for you and if you need to send someone something you can use the contact me thing in my profile.


Part of my job is looking at search user querying behavior, and this is a common method people use to search. It's like the space bar doesn't exist. I'm curious why people do that.

I do not.  I can't explain why others would, given the high likelihood that their returns will not be helpful, but I am learning to overlook people's inaccurate Internet typing.


Would like to backup a data dvd disc, but i don't know how or can't figure it out. Please help if you do know some software or any technique how to do that. Your help is much appriciated. Thanks

Unlike DVD Movie, the Data DVD is much like a normal Folder in your hard disk or a Data CD. Unless ofcourse you are looking at a Copy Protected OEM Disc. In that case you cannot do it. \n\nIf its NOT a copy protected one, try the Image thingy. Use NERO to create a Disc Image of your DVD on to your hard disk and then use this image to write onto another DVD. If its confusing: \n\nPut the original DVD in and press COPY DISC in the Nero software and proceed as it instructs..\n\n.:Fishie:.


im so confused sometimes im so happy with my life right now and i love the guy im with im just very happy but sometimes i get really sad for no reason at all i just want to be left alone in the dark i dont understand it what should i do?

The mood swings sound extreme, it might be bipolar or it could just be simple depression. To check for bipolar, click on the first link for a Check tool.\n\nThe second is a Check tool for depression. There are other links you can find on the web for symptoms and treatments.\n\nHope you feel better.

I have both computers hooked up to the router, but I one is logged on, the other can't log on.?

Your DSL company probably will not give you any support on the router *unless* you bought it from them.\n\nHowever, it does sound like either:\n\n1.  A matter of plugging the wires up in the right place.\n2.  A configuration problem with your router.\n\nThe DSL modem obviously recognizes the router or you wouldn't be able to log on with either computer.\n\nAs an alternative, your router probably has four ports for computers, try pluggin in the non-working computer to a different port and see if you have a bad port.


he is so hot and we talk about everything

That happens alot when you're best friend is of different sex. You hang around every day, you talk all the time, so you start to have a crush. You can like him, but you should be aware that if something does happen between yous, then your friendship may never be the same agian. Though you may be happyily in love forever, if that changes, the friendship could be lost. My best friend is a male, and I never had a crush on him, mainly because I know how he is with woman, so I could never date him. Alot of times, girls wish they could have a guy like their best friend. Just think about what you really want to do, and act on it. You only live once.


What would you change? \nThe way you hear music?\nThe way you see the stars?\nThe equipment you use?\nThe type of music you hear?\nOr something even bigger?\nMusic Industry 2006 Changes Underway\nYou can start the revolution right here!

It would have to be something where Corporate America should stop ramming cRap down our throats. I like hip-hop and rap but it has begun to be so watered down. You hear it at monster truck shows now! Sure they are great beats, ie ringtones, but c'mon even on tampon commercials?!? Music is diverse and sets moods. Trends come and go. Metal had their heyday and now you only hear it on oldies stations and bad tv shows. \n\nI think another big improvment is Music On Demand. Sirus and XM are getting there. A service like that works but now to get it to the point that if you want to listen to a new cd, you pay your monthly service and can listen to it at anytime. Yes you cannot copy it since it is a streaming download but you pay for a service and can call it up anytime like NorthStar in cars.\n\nThat is just a start!


I want to know what you think the real reason was for us to have a civil war?  Keep track of this, you might get educated...

The right of a state to leave the Union, and the lack of the ability to compromise


it just popped out of *out of the blue* :))

i think he is going to spend a long time in hell !  besides that i don't think to much about him. except that he sure talks me into some real dumb sinful things sometimes. and i wish he would get off my back and leave me alone.   IN THE NAME OF CHRIST JESUS, satan SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE  !!!! there that should do it.


and then they told you the next day youre on ogrish!!!

Well, they would have killed me long ago.  I don't have it in me to BEG for my life.


I am a college student in california and I'm wondering what I can do to help people who are suffering in Darfur. How can we stop the genocide?

The other steals to commit adultery. What moral ethics makes the difference between the two acts?

Intent has an impact on the morality of an action.  Clearly stealing to commit adultery (whatever that might mean) is well within the "immoral" category since that's committing one immoral act to further a second immoral act.\n\nHowever, stealing to help the poor still isn't clearly in the "moral" category in my opinion.  That is far more dependent on any special circumstances.  The classic "Robin Hood" scenario seems immoral to me.  It's not Robin Hood's right to say where peoples' money should be spent, other than his own.


Judge for yourself. 13 straight losing season (including 2006), and overall winning percentage of .417 and he has had 14 years to fix what Tom Monoghan did (2nd worst owner in Tiger history). 14 years! And he has only made them worse!

YES! Beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever! Right On Dude for speaking your mind and telling it like it is! I mean, like seriously, 14 years is a long time to sit on your butt and not do anything to improve a team that was in bad shape. Now, because of mike ilitch, The Tigers are the laughing stock of Major League Baseball. What really cracks me up is that he says he cares--PHOOOEY!\n\nYeah right, he cares---more about the stupid deadwings!\n\nAnd dont give me this crap that he built Comerica Park either. We all know why he built it (look at where it is located, and tell me he is NOT a selfish greedy punk!)\n\nAll I can say is I will be glad to see him vacant 2100 woodward ave FOR GOOD!


okay im wondering is it possible to become a real kotex pad. and if so how would it be possible. any ideas or suggestions. i know i would get used for a period and get thrown away, but its what i feel like i want. also is kotex a good brand of pads. any comments welcome. if you want to chat you can im me at soonbepad2.

Hmm... Interesting question.\n\nPersonally I have never thought of becoming a pad. I don't like blood, especially coming from the place that IT comes from. I guess that you can be anything that you put your mind to. \nAnd Kotex isnt's a good brand of pads. You want Always, with wings. Then there's no leakage onto the undwear. And if there's no leakage, you'll be a great pad!!\n\nThanks for the protection!


I am trying to find business names, and all I have are addresses


I am usually considered a very conservative person, but I honestly cannot see why color matters.  I think that due to the social stigma of being in a mixed couple and surviving means that the love is stronger.\n\nLove is love.  Feelings don't see color.


a friend told me that multiple male lobsters in one pot will help each other crawl out, while multiple females won't because the one on top holds everyone down underneath her.  I'm wondering if this true or a myth and if there is a source for the information available.

It sounds like an urban myth that someone made up as an analogy for how human females treat each other.  I'm assuming by "pot" you mean "trap" - a lobster won't try to escape from the pot of boiling water on a stovetop, as it's killed pretty much instantaneously.\n\nAll lobster traps are required to have an escape vent so that sub-legal (small) lobsters can easily leave a trap.  If it's true that legal-sized female lobsters don't try to escape from a trap, it may be because they "know" (maybe from experience, or lobster lore passed down through the generations?) that females will be released back into the wild if they are carrying eggs (which they do nine to eleven months of the year) or they have been caught with eggs previously (lobstermen carefully notch the tails of breeding females to identify them) so they know they're safe from the boiling pot.\n\nAs for male lobsters being so helpful to one another, one of the reasons their claws are rubber-banded is because they can be fairly cannibalistic - given a chance they'll eat each other.  A study of the stomach contents of lobsters determined that a good portion of a lobster's diet is other lobsters.\n\nIn any case, I can't find any reliable source that says that lobsters ever "help" each other out of a trap - male or female.


Is it true that "the Sept. 11 attacks were, according to bin Laden, a direct response to ... Bill Clinton, ... when he launched the missile attacks into Afghanistan and Sudan and killed thousands of innocent Africans and Afghanistan people - Afghanis - that had nothing to do with al Qaeda or anything?"\nJay Bennish's lecture transcript,\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004689.htm

Neither is at fault!  \n\nJihadists use 9/11, the Sudan, the plight of the Palestinian people, American bases on Saudi soil, etc...\nas excuses to, in their own words, "... convert or kill ... the infidels."  \n\nIt's not about Jay Benish, or Michele Malkin, or any other American for that matter.  Check out Al Jazeera if you want to hear it from the horse's mouth.  Rabid terrorists, ravenous for power, have hijacked a religion, and it's gullible followers to do their bidding!\n\nRemember that middle-eastern terrorism, targeted against the U.S., began in the 1970s, long before Clinton or Bush. \n\nIn the history of man, a war has NEVER been fought for any reason other than the acquisition of resources; be it land, water, minerals, etc...  Religion has often been an excuse, or rather the scape-goat for greed.  This current jihad is no exception.  \n\nFifty years from now, when we are hopefully fully engaged in the use of more efficient energy sources, where will the middle east obtain the resources to sustain their people?  When oil is no longer a commodity, where will their collateral and resulting buying power come from?  \n\nLet's look this beast squarely in the face, and call it what it really is ... some far-thinking survivalists, who will spare no one, and nothing from their wrath.


im trying to get in the curcut for barell racing and i cant find it


Aside from the more popular vices, (alcohol, cigs, drugs, porn, sex) what are some of the not-so-well-known addictions?  Me, I have more pairs of shoes than any one person should ever own.

i'm addicted to being right \ni will (after an argument) research till i have proof and then be forced by uncontrolable urges to throw it in the wrong persons face (it's a really ugly trait!!lol!!)\nand i'm also addicted to putting baby oil on immediately after i turn the water off from a shower, and then slathering lotion from head to toe, on top of all that baby oil! sounds crazy but i absolutely loathe dry skin, and the perks are any one who ever comes near me/touches is always like "you smell so good!" and "i have never felt softer skin!" \n o and if it has an odor and i come in contact w/it ihave to smell my hands/finger tips! my hubby teases me all the time! (can you say obsessive compulsive disorder!lol!)\nbut i'm clean so i don't care if peops think i'm weird! haha!!!


I would like to hear from members of the Order.  What er your daily practices?  How often do you meet collectively?

1. To spread the Message of Unity and promote the awakening of humanity to the divinity in all, as taught by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, and Pir Zia Inayat Khan by offering seminars, conferences, retreat events, Universal Worship services, and by publishing and distributing print and electronic media.\n\n2. To provide a program of spiritual training to bring about deep personal transformation culminating in a balanced, harmonious and creative life by developing a central school and local training centers around the country, by offering guided group and individual retreats, and by training spiritual guides capable of giving authentic training in the inner life and the integration of spiritual realization into everyday life.\n\n3. To encourage and support as part of our training new ways of integrating our ideals of love, harmony and beauty into all aspects of everyday life including professional, personal, social, political, and religious life.\n\n4. To serve God and humanity by helping to relieve suffering through promoting service among our members and sponsoring service projects such as the Hope Project in New Delhi; by promoting understanding and goodwill among adherents of various faiths through Universal Worship services and participation in as well as sponsoring of inter-religious conferences and celebrations; and by encouraging the unfoldment of universal loving kinship by spreading the Message of Unity and the recognition of divinity in every living being.


I have been a friend of the family for awhile. I feel like I am lying when I pretend not to know what is going on, and yet I also feel it is none of my business.

If he is a true friend he shouldn't expect you to continue to lie and pretend like everything is ok for him. The best thing is to help him because, that's what friends are for. Tell before he ends up in jail or worse dead.


If you found out out that you were pregnant after separating from your Ex 2 months ago and you hadn't talked since, but you know he's already moved on, coz you saw him with someone else. 1) Would you tell him that you were carrying his child or not? 2) How can you possibly tell him, without looking like a hater, or like a desperate move to get him back? \n3) Should you move out of town and raise your kid without him ever knowing, or is that more selfish than risking his current relationship and freedom? This is serious p'ple. Help.....

He has right to know its his child he has to know it doesnt matter if he does want to be in or out he has to know hes a father.You can make it clear you want nothing from him not even getting back together(however bad you want it)so he knows that its not a trick to get him back.Other things dont matter he has to know about the situation then the ball is in his court.you got knocked up and now your baby might not have a father congratulations!


what would u do at first if u liked someone?

When ever I had a crush on someone I would tell them, I have no problem saying what's on my mind and how I feel.


There is this hill north of where i live, where vehicles fully stopped and on neutral will slowly gain momentum climbing uphill. During a downpour i also noticed that water running downhill was going against water running uphill. I have shown this to several technical people and there is no logical explanation. We even used a total station to determine that the elavation of the hill is higher at the top. There is no "optical illusion" in this particular hill!

Maybe you have a large ore deposit beneath your location. This could generate a strong field that the polarized molecules would be attracted to. If it's closer to the upper part of the hill and big enough, it could also provide a small amount of gravitational attraction that could be pulling the water uphill.\n\nThe gravitational field of the Earth varies from place to place at the surface. We see this all the time when we take very sensitive readings. It is possible that a gravitational anomalies can be enough to cause odd effects at the surface.


I think it was a sick publicity stunt to get his businesses off of the ground. His wife doesn't have it and his kids don't have it.

Yes, I do think he is HIV positive.  His wife, like many professional sports players wives may have insisted that they use protection.  Let's be realistic here... Many athletes sleep with a multitude of women while they are on the road (someone say Kobe).  Most just don't admit it.  \n\nIt seems that Magic's wife was smart enough to be honest with herself.  Maybe her husband wouldn't be 100 percent faithful so it was best that she protected herself.  Good thing she did!  He probably contracted it after the birth of their children.\n\nRemember that Magic attempted to play after the annoucement, but many players were relectant to be on the court with him in case of blood contact.  Magic has the resources to be able to afford the best in healthcare.  Drugs are much better now than they have been and life spans of individuals with HIV and increased.\n\nBottom line... The man is HIV positive, but that does not mean he will die tomorrow.

my girlfriend and i were arguing about whether or not they do

Some do.  I know of many that change for when a car gets in the left turn lane. \n\nI also know of some that stay green on the main street, and change ONLY when a car cames up to the side street.\n\nAlso, these sensors may only be running after hours. (Rush Hour)


Many people have claimed to have visited heaven during a near death experience. I have seen heaven in my dreams but I would like to know from someone who has actually been there and back.

I think if I would ever GO to Heaven that I would not want to COME BACK!\n\nThere is a really cool story written by Mark Twain...something about Capt. Stromfield...don't know the name.  Basically this man dies, goes to "heaven," and sees all these strange creatures.  They try to communicate but have a hard time.  He asks where his harp, wings, and halo are.  Soon he realizes he is in the wrong place, and the "door greeters" congratulate him - he has figured out that there couldn't be just ONE heaven to suit everyone - we make our own "Heaven."\n\nI don't know about making our own heaven, but it makes you think... will all souls find the same joy in the same heaven?  Hmmmm....


I am intrigued, but need more info...  Thanks!

I watched it years ago... 1992 in fact. There is a black and white scene where a nude woman is on the bed (with a mask on i think) another woman was using a stalk of rosebud (again i think) and brushing her privates with it, before goin down on her orally. its not a porn film but has a plot to it...

Why do people answer to questions without knowing s**t?

I'm not really sure what to give to my friend for his birthday, any ideas?

Think about what he talks about most of the time and find a gift that relates to that. if you want to make it personal, find something he's really passionate about or something that he really cares and values alot, that can relate or be similar. Most importantly, its the thought that counts.


Do you think it would be more stable than the last 2 coalition governments?

I think a minority government is actually beneficial as it encourages the parties to work together. Smaller parties like the NDP get more input and have more influence, so there's real purpose to having multiple parties in Parliament.\n\nThe problem with a Presidential government is the vetos. If the President is not the same party as the House and/or Senate, then a lot of legislation ends up getting vetoed by one or the other and nothign gets done. There's less incentive to work together because there's no danger of non-confidence bringing down the government.


My Computer is as slow as a snail. It takes over 5 minutes to get going. I got 40 GB and XP Home. It was suggested to me to clean everything from the hard drive and re-install from the discs. How can I save all my records, the hard disc is just about filled to capacity? Cost is a big factor (I know that I can buy a new larger hard drive)

Another thing it could be is virtual threats. If you don't have any spyware/virus/malware/grayware or any other kind of virus protection, then most likely you have some kind of infection. I suggest scanning and cleaning for free at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ before reinstalling your computers OS software or clearing the hard drive. If you have dsl/cable Internet connection then there should be no problem with housecall, you should have java virtual machine as well, I don't think you'll have any problem. \n\nAfter scanning and clearing threats, check the results and if your computers performance. If still having problems then go ahead and proceed with your other options. ;)


I live in France and was recently told that it only snows when it's 32 degrees F; yet, I come from Minnesota where it seems to snow whether it's 32 or 12 or 2! Is this a phenomenon that's strictly North American or can it really not snow in France when it's below 32?

When people talk about what temperature it is, they are talking about the temperature at near ground level. However, this temperature is not the key to creating snow. Snow is typically formed much higher in the atmosphere from typically at 1000+ ft up in the air. So when ever you have moisture laden air cooled to below 32°F (0°C for your EU friends), snow will form and fall to the ground. If the temperature near the ground is below 32°F (30, 20, 10, etc), the snow will land. If the temperature is above 32°F, it may melt on the way down and show up as rain.\n\nNow there may be geographical and weather pattern reasons why it doesn't snow very often when it is below 32°F in France, but scientifically there is no reason it can not.


Aside from his cameo in "Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire" (fronting a band called The Wyrd Sisters)

Woo hoo!! Do you know how long I have been on here waiting for someone to ask a question about Jarvis or Pulp? I thought I was the only one who liked them anymore. Anyway, he had a parody band called Relaxed Muscle with Richard Hawley but they used the aliases 'Darren Spooner' (jarvis) and 'Wayne Marsden' (Richard). They had an ep & an album but I don't know that they'll do anything else. As far as I know Pulp still plan to return eventually. I hope so anyway.
