Is it more efficient to leave a light on or turn it on and off every time a person leaves of enters a room.

Turn it off.\nA watt measures power, not energy. Power is the rate of using energy.\nEnergy is measured in joules.\nOne watt is one joule per second. \nA 100 watt light bulb uses 100 joules per second, or 6,000 joules per minute or 360,000 joules per hour.\n\nNow how much energy do you think it takes to turn on that bulb? An hour's usage? And how fast does it use it? All in the first second? If it really did used 3600,000 joules in the first 1 second, that would be 360,000 watts. That would definitely blow your circuit breaker. Does the bulb use one minute of power in the first second after you turn it on? If so, that would be 6,000 watts, which still blows your breaker. Most household circuit breakers trip at 15 to 30 amps, which is 1,800 or 3,600 watts on a 120 volt circuit.\n\nSo turn off the light.


I have 2 A's .....1 B..... 2 C's... and 2 D's.These are my final grades.I'm a senior.I have an acceptance to Purdue.Is it possible my admisson will be revoked?....I AM EXTRMELY WORRIED

I doubt it.  You're a senior and you slacked off.  Make sure you meet or have met all deadlines for down payments, etc. to Purdue.  Just don't slack off your first year there.


Ok, so I'm doing a government and it's really hard. My team is supposed to argue for the fact that...\n\nPray should be mandatory in schools.\n\nAny ideas how to affirmative that?

Yes, in our democratic society, it is hard.  One of the founding principles in this country is the separation of church and state.  One argument in favor of prayer in schools is that studies show that prayer, meditation, or some other form of silent reflection help people to focus and stay on task, and as a teacher, I can testify (no pun intended) that staying on task is one of the hardest things any student can be asked to do.  \n\nHow can we justify prayer in schools, though?  That's a real toughie.  You could allow for "moments of self-reflection" or set aside time for journal writing (many schools have DEAR time-- Drop Everything And Read-- when students must devote 30 minutes to reading at the end of the school day).  But if you call that moment of silence "prayer time" you are treading on thin ice.  No one can force anyone to pray.  It cannot be mandatory.  Nor would a true Christian want someone to be mandated to pray, because God wants people to come to Him freely.


what do I do when a friend of mine just snapz at me for nothing?

let the answer come from your heart! Ok that was cheesy. Anyway, don't snap back. Remain calm and try to talk things out, but no matter what, don't get angry or you'll get nowhere fast.


even if discusions of race offend some , do people have a greater right to not be offended than the right of people to have and express unpopular opinions?

Yahoo just wants this place to be popular. They care little about actual discussion or rights. It's just the whole nature of business in general... a business will do anything that will promote its product and it will avoid anything that will do nothing for it. \n\nRace discussions are generally highly subjective and the negative risks of such a discussion outweigh any positive gain for Yahoo. Thus, they ban it. Rights of individuals has nothing to do with it.


Can you gain feelings for someone after just a night of cuddling? I cuddled with this guy one night(I needed comfort, I caught my ex cheating on me recently and this guy is kinda friends with him and was there for me one night to talk and comfort me) we did not see eachother for a few after that night and when we ran into eachother again he came to me and said"your killing me", does he have feelings for me?-from that night?-or in general?

well.... it depends on how he said that! he might!


I am a nurse at a highly prestigious hospital.And the people there know more about your damn biz than you do.I don't talk to anyone there and they know more about me Tom Dick andHarry.Now when I approached this lady not girl because we are all grown she wanted to make a fuckin scene.And I told her you always say if you are a woman then pull me to the side and say what you got to say o.k I did and this broad was trippin!I wanted to kick her ass but we was on the job so I told her i'll see your ass outside of work believe that.I've tried supervisor's first and in goes in one ear and out the other.This one girl talks about everybody and her momma.I almost hate to go to work she never shut's up and I work 11pto7a nobody be wanting to hear that mess that time of the night.If you just bought a new car she's getting one 2morrow.If I bought a house 2day she's buying one next week help!!!!I don't wanna hurt nobody!!!!!!!!

Toni, I think I used to work with her sister; I knew someone just like that. She sounds like a piece of work, and unfortunately there's someone like that at every job, at every church, in every group. But, you didn't take that job for her, and don't lose that job over her. It sounds like you have a lax group of managers that they don't respond to your complaints, but trust and believe they will step in and level their authority once you take matters into your own hands. Don't stoop to her level, but elevate her to yours. Be strong, be patient, and eventually a positive change will take place to remove her as a headache in your life. There will be a promotion, transfer, something, to get her off your back. Actually, you sound pretty funny, maybe one day we can talk and you can come join myself and a sharp female doctor in our business and you won't have to worry about coworkers or bosses. With your sense of humor and your medical background, I think you could do quite well. Good luck to you, and I don't want to see a posting from you asking if anybody knows a good lawyer to represent you for assault (lol) It will get better.

argument here between the pro-life and pro-choice camps but is really meant to understand the thinking process of those who do not find abortion, especially late-term, to be akin to taking a life.  It seems to me, especially in today's technologically advanced world where we can see the form and development of a baby in the womb from very early on (see the operation and picture of Samuel Armas and his mother) that the old thinking about there not really being a "baby" aborted is a pretty weak stance now.  The issue of viability seems to be specious at best in today's world and the further issue of women's rights surely must be secondary to a life isn't it?  I didn't mean to be so overt in the phrasing of my question, it is obvious on which side I fall on this issue, but I am truly trying to understand the thought process and value system of those who believe there is nothing wrong with abortion.  I am not passing judgement but I am wondering how spirituality coincides with abortion?

you can very well believe in God yet still think abortion is okay, but it is wrong.\n\nto those who think abortion is fine, that its not murder, just go do a google search of websites that show you photographs of aborted children. you will see they have arms and legs and hearts and brains...\n\nsome even have full bodies, they just look... well... dead.\ninfact, here are some sites to copy and paste:\n\nhttp://www.100abortionpictures.com/Aborted%5FBaby%5FPictures%5FAbortion%5FPhotos/\n\nhttp://www.christiangallery.com/smdead.html\n\nif you dont want to see VERY graphic pics, dont go there. if you want to know the truth, have a look.\n\nbut every one of them is human when aborted.\nso, abortion is literally murder.\n\nIf your "mature" enough to have sex, your "mature" enough to take responsibility for your actions. and if you were raped, there is adoption. no excuses.


I am a 16 year old male looking for a job in Mowing lawns, weedeating, for people who can't get out to do it. I am looking for a company that is here in Indianapolis,IN - 46203 area, has a good pay, and has great customer satisfaction. I have searched the internet, but havn't found much in my area. If anyone can give me a company, that offers good pay, and mows lawns, weedeaters, etc. Please let me know.\n\nThanks\n\nPS- I don't mind doing this on my own, but want a professional profile for doing business, and don't want to cheat anyone of their money.

List your services on www.craigslist.org You can call up landscape service places from the yellow pages and find out if they are looking for help and how much they pay.


They always tell me how nice and sweet I am and say they wish they had a guy like me but never want to be with me. I'm sick of always being "the freind". And don't say because I'm a loser because I know that already!

You are doing something wrong-hire an escort-ask her for pointers.


When traveling we want to get wireless internet on our laptops without joining a phone plan in each area of the country \nHelp

I used a service from Nextel, I dtuck a card in the computer it had a cute little antenna sticking up, it was OK, not great/...


I usually just go in, get my stuff and come out of the store, but lately I can't seem to find an associate to help me find a product. If I do on the off chance get someone to help me (I'm truly grateful, let me say) they always have a terrible attitude, like they have 'other' things to do. Is it no not the customer that gives them the reason to have a job?!

I do agree with you about the employee's attitudes at some of the Wal Mart stores...but this is also happening at other places of business...People are more rude today than years ago. Not that there were not rude people years ago but when an employee was reported to the store manager as being rude to a customer action was taken because the customer was always right even if wrong we never argued or was rude to a customer. \nI do know that Wal Mart has cut back on their employees and this makes it difficult for the ones working to keep up with the customers and also to do their work. (no excuse get another job). I find that sense Mr. Sam Walton passed away that things have changed at Wally World. (that's what I call Wal Mart because it is like a circus)\nBack to the subject...Every time an employee is rude get their name (ask them if you don't see their name tag) and report them right then and there. (ask to see the manager)

If you was a 14years old girl and you ate a large 250g cadbury dairy milk bar everyday 4 a year...?\nHow much weight would you gain? \nIf you ate this aswell as everything else, this contain 1325 calories.\nTHEORICALLY!\nThank you!\n\n\n\n\nHow much weight would you gain?\nif you were\n>lazy,overweight.\n>lazy,average.\n>lazy skinny.\n>average,overweight.\n>average,average.\n>average,skinny.\n>active,overweight.\n>active,average.\n>active,skinny.\nThank you very much my friend is very,very concerned.\nAnd no answers please about that u r only 14 and shouldnt be worring about your weight plz, cheers.

Well it goes by if she worked out.  If you work out then you really can eat what ever you want with out gain weight.  the 2nd thing would be that is not that health.  You need to eat a lot of difft foods to be health.  But I would say the person would be Average, Average but not health and later on down the line it would bit her in the a-s-s.  Don't worry about how much your eatting...eat what you want just make sure you work out do hour a day and you should be fine.

This just shows that ppl are assbackwards . Imma get a piece of crap appliance because I dont like the creators attitude... lol The Creator can be the biggest dick in the world, but if his product is doing what I need it to do, then F it.. lol I say that cuz ppl are saying I would like B.Bonds more if he was a lil nicer... lol Lets see how many ppl would really love to see a AAA player or less qualified player take his spot or any arrogant superstar because their nicer... Do you know how many jobs would be lost at management because they catered to you knuckleheads that want nice... lol hey if you get a player that hits .170 2 hrs and 20 rbis for the season, pls dont hate him, cuz hes oh so nice to the media and the fans, if he has any... lol

Who cares about this chucklehead's personality?  Can he do the job? Everyone on the team has to find their place. There is warm and fuzzy guy who relates well to the kids, the good looking one that all the girlies ooh & ahh over and then you have rock dude, etc...  You have to have the he-man - not so pleasant man's man. WE are talking about baseball, right? Not appliances.  So in the end, whatever their personality is, they have to be able to pitch or hit or catch the best.

I'm not sexually active, I'm just taking the pill to regulate my period.

you have to double up on the next dose....\n\nA back-up birth-control method is necessary for at least two days if you miss a dose (even if it is delayed by only three hours\n\nWhat if I forget to take a pill? \nIf you forget to take some of the pills, you will have menstrual bleeding at unpredictable times and you may get pregnant.\n\nIf you forget to take one pill, take it as soon as you remember and take your next pill at the usual time. If you miss two consecutive pills, take two pills each day for 2 days and then go back to your regular schedule.\n\nIf you miss three or more pills, stop taking the pills and use a different birth control method until your next menstrual cycle starts. If your menstrual cycle doesn't start on schedule, check with your health care provider.\n\nIf you have forgotten to take two or more pills and you have missed a period, you might be pregnant. You should stop taking the pills and use other forms of birth control until you are sure you are not pregnant.\n\nDo not stop taking the pills if you have taken them correctly.

I have a full time job (20 yers) with additional income of $42000 per year. The property was appraised at $135K and I am needing $90K loan. My credit score is 640.

With what you are telling me, my bank would probably do the loan using the property as collateral. You shouldn't have a problem obtaining the loan but the 640 score may get a little higher rate than a 700 plus score would.

I swing pretty hard and my drives tend to slice . right now I'm swinging a regular flex . If I go with a stiff will it help my slice?

Are you buying new clubs or just a shaft.  You should hit a club with the shaft you want and if your looking at new clubs hit regular and stiff and compare.  The problem is when it comes to stiff and regular there is not an industry standard.  What one company calls stiff another will call regular.  Callaway's stiff shafts is a good example.  They did that because everyone wanted stiff shafts when they should have regular.  A stiffer shaft will help with a slice, but your best bet is to check your grip, stance and make sure you lined up at the target.  Don't just aim down the fairway pick out a target and swing at it.  \nGood Luck

I'm 26 this december but still single, my batch in highschool and college are mostly married now. I'm incapacitited to raise a family yet though I am a female but I feel that its my owwn obligation aswell, but mostly of the neighborhood are teasing me and I'm scared to death of seeing myself being an old maid.

I wouldn't worry about what others say. As long as your happy, then that's all that matters. Your still young, you have lots of time ahead of you to get married if you want to. Wait until you find the right person. A lot of people don't marry until they are in their 30's or 40's. They want to make sure the person they marry is the right person for them to spend the rest of their life with. I say ignore the remarks from people and enjoy your life.


what are some good bands? i listen to just about everything so leme know what new CD i should buy!!\n<3

I just want to know if that video card will work with Red Orchestra. My concerns are with the vid card's directx 8.1, but it is compattible with 9 through software. So if anyone  could help me out I would appreciate it.

if your software is up to 9 you should be ok....what you should be worried about are high end graphis with enhanced pixel shaders. Most new games require enhanced pixel shaders, direct x 9.0 and other specs, you should be asking yourself how new is the game and how old is your card, if there is a big gap in age, be alittle hesitant.


Hmmm ... I don't think so. I'd prefer to fall in love with someone that would/could love me back and remove my quills so we could be closer together.


i want to order somthing on ebuyer.com wich only shipps to the uk. so how can i order something on there and have it shipped to the usa?

You can't, if they only ship to the UK then you'd have to know someone here that they could send it too and then the person you know can pass it on.

My Employer is scheduled to be bought out by another company in a few months, and an interest in going Union is on the table.  What's the good and the bad of this?

well i am sure this is some good but I am unaware of it. All I know is that the unions break the law constantly. You cannot fight them, you cannot win. And chances are you will break your neck if you try to reach for the brass ring they will dangle in your face. I assume you are a worker that will be directly affected by this vs someone like me who just works in the office, right ? Ask yourself this: DO you ever want to be self-employed ? IF the answer is yes, you are going to have a hard time being in the union's system.


Is it because I'm using more energy....do I need to work out more now becuse of the extra calories I must be eating................

This is a result of your metabolism increasing (basically  your muscles are demanding more food for energy).  Just be cautious of what you eat and at what time.


I've been drinking for years and at one point last year and part of this year it got really bad but i'm getting it under control and i'd like to talk to the same kinda people for support ,advice etc

Don't let people tell you that you don't have a problem just because you make it to work every day. There are many people who are functioning alcoholics and one would never know they have a problem just by looking at them. \n\nIf you feel that it's a problem, it is. Look up Alcoholics Anonymous in your area. If the problem is bad enough, you might want to look into rehab. Good luck. :)

I want to put a fence on my property and new neighbor says I need my land surveyed.  Shouldn't he have had his land surveyed before passing papers?

Both previous answers are partially incorrect. It is possible to buy and sell property without having it surveyed, but it is never advisable to do so, because you cannot legally rely upon the accuracy of the existing information, which may be either obsolete or simply wrong. Therefore, land transactions in which a title company is involved do require a survey, since title companies understand the value of a survey to verify the facts. Regardless of whether your neighbor has had a survey done or not, you should not construct a fence, wall, garage or anything else near your property boundary, without having your own survey done, and having a licensed professional land surveyor determine the proper location where you may safely and legally erect your fence. This is the only way you can be protected from liability. If you commence construction without the protection of a survey, you will be liable for any damage that may result.

Is he your boss? He cannot fire you without proper justification.  Unless you broke a company policy or rule, you're fine.  If he fires you just because you guys broke up or he doesn't like you, you can file a harassment suit.


the same way all the fuckwords are. why must we read idiotic church driven babblings in between otherwise sensible questions? who fucking cares about what jesus thinks about the wallet you found on the bus? there should be a rule about this moralstic bullshit being allowed to hijack every question.

You lot only scream so loudly because not long ago I'd be burned and tortured for dissing your stupid beleifs. The world doesent work like that anymore.\nis it just me or should all this dribbling nonsense be kept out of every other section apart from this one? any time anyone quotes the bible on here I feel like tracking them down and pooing on their lawn.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!! Don't perform an upgrade on that system!! Always perform a clean installation of Windows XP so that you can use NTFS. Also, as was stated earlier, you really don't want to install XP on anything less than 256megs of memory or it will move slow as pond water.


its for a dj job at our local radio station... theyre holding auditions for student DJ's its my first ever audition/interview because i was always pampered since birth...my gaurdians would never allow me to get a job or something of the sort... but i really want this job so im going without thier permission. i have no clue on whats going to happen or what they might ask. on the plus side, im perfect for the job and i match up to all the requirements... im 18, currently enrolled, female, and very fluent in english... but im desperate for any advice you guys might provide... help!

My top advice for you...\n\n* Be yourself!  Be confident and be bold!  No matter how you feel, make sure you do this!  \n\n* Make sure that they can tell you want the job - but at the same time, dont make yourself look desperate.  \n\n* Don't tell them that you are nervous, especially since the job is one where you will need to be confident.\n\n* Don't be afraid to ask questions\n\n* Let them know your skills! \n\n* Smile\n\n* Speak clearly and at an appropriate volume.  Annunciate \nyour words properly.\n\n* Dress appropriately.  Maybe a pair of black pants and a buttonup shirt, or a nice long skirt and top to go.  \n\n* Let them know that you are eager to learn and are willing to take advice\n\n* Have fun\n\n* Arrive early!! VERY IMPORTANT!\n\n* Make sure you are presented well - you look clean and nice and your hair is neat etc.\n\nHow long do you have until the interveiw?  Maybe prepare in your head the type of things you may be asked.

my husband and I have been married for six years now, we sleep in separate beds, and he's usually very cold towards me. it seems like the only time he's turned on is when his friends hit on me but when they leave he goes back to being his cold bitter self. what does this mean? help!

could mean there's someone else, possibly a man....  seek counseling.  Hope things get better for you.


i have been told of many ways to lose wieght! they were all great answers now i dont know what to do!\n\nive been told of the scared heart diet\n\ni know that fad diets dont work\n\nive been told that drink lots of water\n\ndo sit ups turn off the tv and go outside and walk\n\nlower my calorie intake\n\nand exersssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssseeeeeeee\n\ndid i miss anything? im jsut a teenanger so im not that "worried" like getting a heart disease but i was wondering if anyone could give me advice that you think no one would give but U\ni would like simple recipies,websites,workouts that seem to work for you and w/e! \n\nthanks\n~JOJO~

Fad diets DO work.  In fact everything you state DOES work.  Here's everything there is to know about the entire subject in a nutshell lol!  Print it out or something!\n\nAvailable heat energy is turned into work (meeting the demand for activity) or else stored as fatty deposits around the body.\n\nHeat energy is measured in kiloJoules or KiloCalories, and a good way of finding out what foods are high energy foods is to simply throw them on a campsite fire.  Sugar granules or alochol thrown onto a fire will create a great spectacle!  The easier it is to burn, the more explosive it it at burning, the more fattening.\n\n(#1) Match energy intake with activity level = no change;\n(#2) Reduce energy intake, maintain activity level = burns fat (lose weight);\n(#3) Reduce energy intake, increase activity level = burns fat (lose weight) quicker;\n(#4) Reduce energy intake, reduce activity level (same as #1);\n(#5) Increase energy intake, increase activity level (same as #1);\n(#6) Increase energy intake, maintain activity level = put on weight/ store fat;\n(#7) Increase energy intake, reduce activity level = put on weight/ store fat quicker.\n\nCOMPLICATIONS\n\nThe heat energy in food can either be accessed or not.  \n\nUnaccessible or unavailable carbohydrates are also know as roughage or dietary fibre.  Everyone knows that TOO LITTLE FIBRE is a highly refined diet -- you will not go to the toilet much, and there can be a problem with your bowel (intestines, stomach, and various organs) if it is not "flushed" through with fibre often enough.\n\nHowever, not many people realise that if you eat TOO MUCH FIBRE you will need to go to the toilet more often, and a lot of goodness (vitamins as well as heat energy etc) can be dragged out before your body has had a chance to get them. Increasing fibre can lose you weight!  The main thing to note is that the fibre content in food ensures that some (not all) of the vitamins and minerals being lost as a result of going to the toilet.\n\nYour metabolism is a COMPENSATING mechanism that works between upper and lower limits, so if you reduce energy intake, the metabolism can adjust itself by taking longer to get goodness out of food -- instead of resorting to converting fat stores into available carbohydrate for work activity. You may be 'bloated' or constipated... but the main thing is that it seems as though your fad diet has suddenly stopped working -- that you have reached a plateau.\n\nYour metabolism will make you feel more hungry or more full as it sees fit, it will make you constipated or have the runs, it can even make you feel too tired to exercise!\n\nThe KEY to successful slimming is to FOOL your metabolism.\n\nWhile your metabolism is automatic, it can be affected by hormonal activity -- so puberty puts on "puppy fat", and menopausal or pregnant women can gain weight too as the metabolism makes them hungry, listless and is more thorough in processing food to get as much energy out to store as fat. \n\nPeople with a thyroid problem have no way of controlling their metabolism.  The thyroid (in the neck) regulates the metabolism, Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can result from trauma or shock.  You have to take drugs fro the rest of your life, but you are in complete control of your weight!\n\nSome drugs target the thyroid -- others keep you awake or make you more active -- speed etc.  Speed is sometimes found in medicines prescribed for menstrual pains, which is why some girls have a weight problem or a fluctuating weight problem.\n\nThe good thing about increasing your fibre is that it keeps your metabolism busy.  But you can equally well trick your metabolism by drinking a LOT of room-temperature still tap water. \n\nHeat energy in foods comes in three varieties: Carbohydrates (which are very quickly turned into work), Proteins, and Fats.  Think of it like this: eaten fats are turned by the body (using vitamins and hormones) into proteins and then into


The ones who are left are: Katherine, Taylor, and Elliot. Plus, I'm very surprised that Chris left! He was great!

I hope Taylor wins. I was so mad that Chris was booted off the show it should of been the girl she didn't sing worth a crap. \nPeople should vote on the singing not on the looks because its the singing that going to sell the records not the looks. \nChris really was a good singer you put a good band behind him and he well make some good records.


What could cause pain during intercourse. i have a uti but i dont know if that has anything to do with it. i doubt that it does. can anyone tell me what could be causing this?

It could be the uti but on the other hand it could be something more severe i would suggest getting checked out i know its scary you dont wanna hear it but its the only way your going to truley find out.


I am 5'7" and weigh about 141.I feel fat and have no confidence. One minute I feel pretty, the next I feel like the ugly duckling. I go to website everyday checking my BMI and BFP b/c I'm that obssessed w/ this whole thing. I'm always looking into diets and work=out plans, but I never find anything, or when I do, I never commit to it. I need to see some of your opinions b 4 I can do for myself.

That sounds like good weight I'm 5'7 and 137 lb. you're perfect, try not to get obbsessed over it


what is it like to be freaked up the butt

You need to find something else to do. Most people don't really appreciate the kind of question you posted in here.


My birthday is coming up and my boyfriend wants me to think of stuff I want. I want some kind of cardio workout machine - low impact and relatively cheap. I noticed the Gazelle was just that and I was wondering if it's a good machine and gives good results. While dieting before, I did all elliptical and lost weight, but what worked for me was an 18 inch stride length and those can be a little expensive. Anyways, let me know what ya'll think about the Gazelle! Thanks!!

It's too cheaply made.  It's an okay work out, but it's not as solid and dependable as some of the more expensive elliptical trainers are.  It feels like it will fall apart after a few uses.  Plus the motion seems so unnatural and feels silly.


Since my diagnosis I become ill from every virus that is around....to the point I have to be off work a week at atime...this seems to occur about every 2 to 3 weeks ...do people with low thyroid have a bad immune system because of the disease and if so how do you fix the problem

i have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nanyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nif you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!

Buy gel pads for your wrists. They make them for both the keyboard and the mouse.\n\nAlso, make sure your elbows are higher then your wrist when you type/use the mouse.

oly Grail was the dish, plate, bowl, glass, cup or vessel used by Jesus at the Last Supper, said to possess miraculous powers. The connection of Joseph of Arimathea with the Grail legend dates from Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (late twelfth century) in which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition of Jesus and sends it with his followers to Great Britain; building upon this theme, later writers recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch Christ's blood while interring him and that in Britain he founded a line of guardians to keep it safe. The quest for the Holy Grail makes up an important segment of the Arthurian cycle, appearing first in works by Chrétien de Troyes.[1] The legend may combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a cauldron endowed with special powers.\nThe development of the Grail legend has been traced in detail by cultural historians: It is a gothic legend, which first came together in the form of written romances, deriving perhaps from some pre-Christi

As many ppl here don't know what there talking as its mixed with truth and false. \nIf you would like more info abt islam just for information purposes (dnt worry not telling you to convert here) i think these three websites are preety good\n\nhttp://www.islamchannel.tv\nhttp://www.islamalways.com ( this one shows preety good media clips)\nhttp://www.watchislam.com \n\nI hope i have helped to answer your question.


Go to the United States Geological Survey website at www.usgs.gov  They have a list of the most recent earthquakes. It's kind of a fun site to see anyway.


I would like to see about getting a free psychic reading just to check it out I know a few people who have tried it and each one says a different thing. One person says the psychic was right on the other says way off. I don't want to spend any money on this so if you could give me a free link I would appreciate it.  I mean free not just the first 2 or 3 minutes free.  Thanks in advance


Please visit  www.spiritlessons.com before answering this question. You will find truth if you are open-minded.

Hell is a truth revealed by God.  It is both a place and a state and will not go away despite our thoughts or opinions.  So learn about it, see Jesus story of Lazarus and the rich man.  Quite scary.


My right eye has begun twitching. Does not happen constantly, and I'm under no stress. Any information will be appreciated.

Just a muscle spasm, nothing to worry about!


REDUCE YOUR INTAKE AND INCREASE YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL.... DUH!!

WHo hates the mafia and who likes it. I think it makes a great contribution to our american history. Not always good but there are times in american history where times aren't good either.

All organizations/clubs have their good/bad points.  Am sure there are good/bad people in the Mafia.  \nYes, the Mafia is alive and probably working for our government under the guise of CIA at this time...lol


i have fantasy baseball and im wondering if i should trade garrett anderson, because he's not doing very good this year and i dont know what to do.

look first to drop him and add one of the following:\n1. blake (3rd/of)- indians\n2. willingham (c/of)- marlins\n3. holliday (of)- rockies\n4. rios (of)- bluejays\n5. swisher(1st/of)- athletics


For about 11 years I've had a cyst in my right kidney causing it to enlarge and a liver cyst that was once drained during my gallbladder removal a few years ago.The liver cyst has filled again and my kidney cyst causes severe pain daily.Over the years,I've had ct scans,mri's and sonograms to keep track of how large my kidney has grown.2 out of 3 doctor's(including a nephrologist from the Kidney foundation)suggests I have PKD and has told me that I now need to undergo genetic testing to verify this.I have no health insurance and there is only one income in my household.Due to the daily pain,I am so limited to activities that I can do with my two children.We are so stressed that we cannot get an answer from these "specialist" and can no longer afford any more testing or ER visits.I feel like I am alone.How can i get a diagnosis when i can not afford the testing?I've been to the"sliding scale fee" clinics(they say my husband makes too much money but fail to realise we pay bills with it).

Currently there is no cure for PKD, not with conventional medicine or (despite what you have been told) alternative medicine.\n\nUltrasound (sonogram) is usually used to diagnose this especially when the cysts are active. Genetic testing confirms the diagnosis.  CTs & MRIs can be used but are not ususally required.  The extra imaging you have had may have been redundant and unneccessary.  For now, get a hold of all your films, reports and labs -- you will need them.  The main concern at this time is to prevent or control pain, high blood pressure and UTIs and well as find help.\n\nYou may want to contact the Kidney Foundation and see what they suggest.  Call to get an 800 number and check their website.  They may have programs for someone in your situation, programs that will give you immediate help.\n\nMy hope is that you can avoid ESRD (end-stage renal disease), kidney failure and transplant.\n\nI'm not certain if you are eligible for Disability or Supplemental Security Income benefits through the Social Security Administration but it's something to investigate.  You would need the medical information I suggested you acquire and any written physician statements you can get concerning the probable diagnosis.  If I am able to find additional help for you, a grant perhaps, I will contact you if I'm able.\n\nGod bless you and your family.  You're in a very frustrating position but I'm sure there are others who will try to help.  You're not alone!

There might be incorrect or obsolete registry entries that are causing the trouble. I would recommend you give the free software Abexo or Registry Repair Trial (from download.com) a try. It always pays to have your registry clean anyways.


I am date with this guy for around 10 months, and now I am waiting to see doctor to check if I am pregnant . When everytime I try to ask him what we will do if I'm pregnant. He try to pint point that I have to get abortion. He gives a lot of excuse like: he is not ready ( he's 32, good job, has a house,.. mostly everything steady), I'm not ready ( i'm in college),... I feel ready bad if I have to get an abortion, both for the innocent baby and side effect for me but I can not raise baby by myself. I can't not keep this baby even though I want it very much( family and culture). I think about adoption but he only force me to abortion (so no one every find out about it). How can he be so heartless? Or he do not intent to be with me? (He treats me nice and introduce me with his friends and family and often talk about our future) What should I do ?

He is not worth your time. Leave him and don't give up or kill your innocent baby, who by the way didn't ask to be brought into this world. You need to stop being so selfish and make arrangements so that this baby will have a loving family. You can raise this baby alone, a lot of women do it every day. can't you see he is using you, he like the sex but he don't want the responsibility of raising a baby HE help make. God has put someone on this world for everyone, he will find you and love you with or without a baby.


I just recently purchased a Western Digial Hard Drive 250GB, and am trying to partition it using a windows XP Pro disk, but for some reason available space is somewhere around 127GB, the rest is not available to partition.  I have a Dell GX110.  Is there a program I can download that will allow me to partition this hard drive for its full amount.  Is it an issue with my Dell, that it does not recognize large hard drives.  Do I need to update the bios possibly?  HELP.

You may need to load some special drivers.  I believe Windows XP will only support like a 138GB partition.  I think the drivers should have come with you hard drive or you probably can download them from Western Digital at their website.  Check out this PDF there is instructions on page 2 http://www.wdc.com/en/library/eide/2079-001026.pdf


what do u think. I'm talking about eastern community by the way. where we don't suffer a lot from racism. but we another racism that is being practiced inside the house between the family. I'm looking for a girl to share life with her. to be partners. if she thinks of herself inferior how can I marry her. we are both humans. and what makes us better is our deeds not our gender. or any thing like that what do you think?

its the way of thinking only.normally women prefer marriage as source of security to their well being than sex. men differs in this aspect.


An Irish seven course meal? A six pack and a potato don't you know! The first American St. Pats Parade, 1776 and all of what is today Washington D.C. turned out to cheer. America then accepted the Irish. The English stereotyped the Irish fleeing their attempt to starve them to death and much of their American ancestors carried that bigoted cause, second strike...most were those less than humans were ,Catholics...and all Protestants "know" what vermin they are! \n  But in all honesty one Irishman arrived with crime and a love to get others to enjoy strong drink as well as he himself did. And to this day his family does all in its power to make the world believe that it is heredity for Irish Catholics to be power mad drunken criminals...So I suppose Teddy, Patrick et all the Kennedy's are just following a long family tradition. You do know Teddy's gran built the family fortune by being a murderous bootlegger? Funny what passes for old money in America.


I like to read and there is of course sooo much I haven't read. Any pointers on what to read would be helpful.

This is a question for people are against illegal immigration in the United States.\n\nI would like to know what steps you personally take to ensure that you don't support the corporations that hire illegal immigrants.  I have read a lot of information online, and it seems that the majority of US corporations hire illegal immigrants- everyone from Burger King and McDonalds to Best Western to Dell to Shell.  Before you purchase a product or service, how do you ensure that it wasn't produced by illegal immigrants?\n\nThis is particularly important for food products, because so much of the food produced in the US has been planted, grown, picked and packed by illegal immigrants.  How do you ensure that the food on your plate was produced entirely by legal citizens/residents of the USA?  Have you been forced to start growing your own food?  \n\nWould you be embarassed if you actively protested against immigration but someone revealed that you bought products produced by illegal immigrants?

Any compamy that has made the news for being fined for having illegal immigrants working for them are on a list beside my computer. If they pay the fines - they have admitted wrong doing.\n\nI don't deal with them and am doing research to find their other fields of business.  They won't get my money so I am not supporting them.

and are there ways of having competitive barganing

no. In my oppinion you'd have to simplify and generalize it to the point of being a text book. And if you made it specific to an industry you could only sell one. If you're trying to sell your marketing skills subcontract your services as a consultant.

ok so nickelback obviously made a 2 songs that sound alike...\n"how you remind me" as well as "someday". But anyone else think it's possible that "saving me" has alot of similarites as well?\nalso here's the link to hear the first two together....\nhttp://theshapeofdays.com/2004/04/how_you_remind_.html\n\nand check out yahoo music for "savin me" or download off of bearshare of the cd if you have it...\n\n\nanyone else notice it? so now it's a possible "how you remind me of someday savin me" in my opinion...you wanna listen to the bass and gutiar and also mess with your sound options in the control panel to tweak it left to right balance...

they're doing what is known in the biz as chemistry therory...if one song made it..then write another that sounds just like it so people will know who the artist is...Nickleback is a good band...Not Great, but good.


I at least know its a lot better than smoking ciggaretts.

i think it was george carlin who said "when you smoke enough dope it starts to suggest its own disuse". \n\ntheres a list of different things out there, but you're mostly going to get answers from pot heads who wont admit that smoking can become harmful to your health, and super stuck up types, who are going to tell you its just as bad as heroin or something. \n\nit does cause impaired judgement, and memory loss (not necessarily loss, but cloudiness and forgetfulness).\n\ni dont smoke/drink/drug at all, and i never have. its a personal decision because i know that its in my genes to become a train wreck if i do. theres a lot of ppl in my family that have gone through all kinds of stuff, and even a few ppl that have had some big problems just caused by pot.

That is why the world hates you.\n\nJAMES 4:4 [NIV]\nYou adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.\n\nROMANS 12:2 [NIV]\nDo not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.\n\n1 CORINTHIANS 5:9-11 [NIV]\n 9. I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10. not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11. But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.\n\n[The last one, 1 CORINTHIANS 5:9-11, is referencing not to associate with sexually immoral people (homosexuality, Adultery, Infidelity, Bestiality, etc), Swindlers, drunkards, etc who have claimed Christ as savior and portend to be a brother or sister. We see a lot of this in many Tv Preachers on swindling people out of money, greedy, liars making up tales of themselves to further their status, and so on. Its not just some of those in the congregation]

Looking to purchase a "non-standard" tux.  Don't want a simple one/two/three button tux, but something more fashionable.  Any ideas?????

Depends on where in Illinois you live.  Down here in southern Illinois there are places like the Corner or small shops all over that deal with tuxs of all kinds. So you can get whatever kind you want.

How about possibly taking a census of all the illegals in our country, and for every five we have in the U.S. we take one square mile of territory from Mexico.  By force if we have to.  Not that we would REALLY do it, but the threat of it may make that Idiot Vincente Fox control his side of the border better.  What do you all think???

hmmmmm.... You might be onto to something.


spongebob squarepants crosses the adult cartoon barrier, it has been breached by a small percentage of child aimed cartoons. its jokes are stupid and childish but at the same time clever and very funny, why do people like it so much. i know i kind of answered it myself but i want to know how it affects other people? :)

I'm 24, and i love spongebob, because he's what everyone wants to be deep down inside.  come on, i dont' know anyone who's so spontaneous about getting to work --and if they do exist, we all treat them the way squidward treats Spongebob. \n\nThe show is goofy for kids, but for adults the sarcasm is what gets to us.


It's the title of a book which talks about Invetment . Does it mean " Disambiguation of Investment" ? or " The Secret of Investment " ? Please help me and define this word for me.

More than likely it indicates that it is investing from the point of view of a professional in the business, being given to outsiders.  Hence he is inside the business and working you from that point out to where most people see it.\n\nSecret would likely be best from your list.


I am single who lives with my cat.  I don't have much social activities (only occasional lunches with friends).  Indeed, I prefer spending time alone when I don't need to work.  Had a relationship before but now not desperate for a new one.  99% of the time I feel totally fine about this kind of lifestyle.  It's just my friends and family will sometimes say things to make me feel like I'm weird.  I don't want to explain to them and it makes myself look even more weird to not speak up for myself.

Ocean, first off, don't listen to your friends. Just because society pushes the idea of being involved or married doesn't mean you need to buy into it. Being single is fast becoming a popular alternative lifestyle.\nNow, I will say that if you desire to ALWAYS be alone and live like a hermit, then yes, you might have some form of social anxiety disorder.  However, this does not sound like the case.  If you are fine, happy, and truly comfortable with the lifestyle you have chosen, then stick with it.  Don't let others push you into a lifestyle you are not happy with.


Are American fundamentalists usurping their Christian teachings in the same way that radical Muslim clerics distort the teachings of Islam?

George Bush knows he is on a mission from God. He ain't usurping the Holy Bible. But that Osama guy knows he is an evil, squirming thing.\n\nAll Americans know the Bible is the truth and that Mosolems are the disciples of the devil. That Islam stuff is plainly evil - Jeez, it just ain't Christian!  Good enough reason then, to deliver them all from evil and make them 'free' in the eyes of America.\n\nGod help the rest of us.


im a smart, sexy, independent woman. although i am very confident, I seem to have trouble meeting similar men. i have had one serious relationship and only one date in the last few months. everywhere i go i catch men sneeking looks at me, and always attract a lot of attention, but nothing ever comes of it. am i coming across as too confident or perhaps even attached????

Never never never "check" your self confidence or your brains at the door. If you find that some men are intimidated by those....you don't want those men anyway. I think confidence, brains, and fitness are EXTREMELY sexy. I want a well read, well traveled, OPINIONATED, worldly woman. If the best discussion she can participate in is why a certain person should win American Idol...well, she is bound to find someone OTHER THAN ME who appreciates her more. If she can't tell me the pros and cons of Bolivia's recent nationalization of the oil fields...and what the ethical issues are in stem cell research....and quite frankly, tell me why my opinion on the war doesn't make sense...well...then she isn't much interest to me. Anyway, NO, don't doubt yourself in this case...simply change the venues where you are meeting men. They are out there.


RAKIM of Eric B & Rakim.I think NAS ,JAY Z,PAC & KRS-ONE of Boogie Down Productions come in @ a close 2nd.All of them made so many contributions to Hip-Hop you can't pick just one.Some people say BIGGIE should have a top spot,but with two albums,I really don't see how he could hold such a title.....I see OTHER people will disagree and say Eminem,that's because they don't know any better.He is hands down the best white rapper of all time,but NOT the best rapper period.


Hypothical situation a person is a resident of Missouri and is riding his motorbike on an interstate in Illinois when he is passed by a beer truck.  The rider of the motorbike sees a case of beer in his lane so her swerves to the left to avoid the beer and hits the back of the beer truck. He is taken to the hospital where his jaws are wired shut to help heal 9 of his facial bones that were broken.  He losens the wires because they are uncomfortable and is informed by the doctor and nurse that the wires are necessary for his face to heal correctly.  The hospital sedates and restrains him for his own good.  The patient wants to be transferred to another bigger hospital so arrangements are made and he is transported to another hospital but the ambulance service didn't give the new hospital the transfer papers.  What would be the subject matter jurisdiction and personal matter jurisdiction regarding this case.

You should start by clarifying what case or cases you're talking about, then ignore the irrelevant junk in the question.  The only obvious cases would be between the motorbike operator and the beer company.  Everything after the words "beer truck" seems to be irrelevant.\n\nThe state of Illinois will have both subject-matter and personal jurisdiction in the case.  The accident occurred in Illinois (as did the negligence leading to the accident), so the subject-matter is clearly within the jurisidiction of Illinois.\n\nAlthough a resident of another state, the motorbike operator and the beer truck driver operated a motor vehicle on the roadways of Illinois, and that -- as in every state -- is enough to expose a person to personal jurisdiction.  The beer company, even if located elsewhere, would be subject to personal jurisdiction in Illinois because its agent was in Illinois, operating a motor vehicle on its roadways, while acting in the scope of his agency.


It is a kind of fear which discourages people to go ahead in any field.

A phobia is an extreme fear of a particular thing or situation, especially one that cannot be reasonably explained.\n\nI don't know what a fobia is.


My sister has always beat up me and my brother our whole lives.  Now, my sister is 35, and I'm 32.  We still have the same last name, and we go to the same gym.

I may try some of these systems\nhttp://www.mintcreditrepair.com

You can use it but the best way to clear up your credit is to obtain your credit reports from the three reporting agencies... Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. It's a pain in the neck and rather time consuming but you actually have to dispute with each company, not just one of them. I personally use form letters. I also pull my credit once a year from each on of the agencies. You'll be amazed what inaccurate information is on your files. I was. By the way, in most states, you're entitled to one free report per year from each agency.\n\nYou can obtain the reports at www.transunion.com, www.equifax.com and www.experian.com. If you want more information on your FICO and what your credit means, go to Fair Isaac's site at www.myfico.com.\n\nGood luck!

What would you say are the odds, that \n1. The US will attack Iran.\n2. The US will use nukes in the attack.\n2. WW3 will start in a big way\nall within the next 12 months.

1. The US will attack Iran.  -->  Military attack?  Maybe 5%.  At this point, the U.S. wants to reach a diplomatic compromise, and luckily we can rely on the intelligence and competence of Condaleeza Rice.\n2. The US will use nukes in the attack.  -->  The U.S. does not use nukes as a first strike.  0% chance.\n2. WW3 will start in a big way   -->  If war looked imminent, the UN would finally wake up out of its coma and start honoring its charter, rather than just engaging in empty rhetoric.  Until now, the UN has had the luxury of inaction because the United States always stepped into the void and did what had to be done.  However, a huge future conflict would require that the UN work feverishly to prevent a catastrophe.  1% chance\nall within the next 12 months.

I'm currently employed as an English teacher in Turkey and am also doing M.A.in Irish Studies. I am planning to do my Ph.D in Ireland and wonder if I can find a job when I go there.

you could firstly go to the local job centre in ireland i live in ireland myself and its quite an easy place to get employment


Would you recommend it?  Why or why not?

My father had lasik surgery on both of his eyes (Cleveland clinic) and since then he has had perfect vision, would i recommend it?  Due to the fact that it is no longer that new of a technique it isn't as expensive as it used to be when lasik first came out.  If you have the money...my advice is to go for it!  ...It does not ruin the kidneys...if you want some factual advice talk to your Doctor or look it up on the Internet.


This happens to me sometimes.  also happened to my husband and then my dad told me about it happening to him!  anyone know what this is?

I have had this happen to myself also but never knew what it was.


I notice that many people today preach the word of God to people that don't want to hear it. Is this pride, arrogance or a genuine belief that they can save these people?

I would have to say it is a desire to help.  \n\nIf you were standing on the top of a cliff offering to help someone hanging out over the edge, is that pride?\n\nOf course, I think there are some who think they are better than others b/c they are saved, which is pride.  (and I don't think they are really saved, but my opinion doesn't matter).  \n\nI think that is the main point.  While I will try to save you the only way I know how (the big JC) I should know that my opinion of you does not matter.  I don't know the Lord's plan, and I shouldn't act like I do.  That is to act outside our authority.


What does this mean?\nWhere does this saying come from?

Reticulated Pythons have a tendancy to bite at peoples faces. So when some one says "These pythons bite" What they are trying to say is that they have a tendancy to punch people in the face.


The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.I dont know about you guys but the flesh is hard to fight and control.

That verse is true 100%. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps us when we are fighting sin and we cannot do it in our flesh at all. God will help us with our struggles through the power of the Holy Spirit.


She is the one that always comes out on top.She tries to look and dress like her 17 year old daughter. She is often asked if they are sisters and she loves it.

takes 2 to tango, darling.  If she's coming out on top it's because you continue to engage.  Just drop it.

"The Polar Express"\nIt was Christmas time and things were rough. My mother had passed away and there was no money. My daughter and I saw it in a special theater that was set up for special events and when we came out after the movie, the snow was coming down and lights were a glow, and she looked at me and said, "This is the best Christmas present ever mom!"


this guy keeps asking me out to the formal and i like him alot,and his friends keep telling me that he likes me but how can i tell if he really likes me not just asking me to the formal so that he can have a partner for the formal?

He has asked you, you like him. Honestly what is the problem. Go for it. This is your chance to find out how he feels about you. Don't blow it by thinking about it too much. Even if at the end of the night if he only wants to be friends all that matters is that you had a great night with good company that you can look back on it with a smile. Would that be so bad.


I am Haley, and I NEED HELP!\nI have somwhat white teeth already but, i'm looking for some better results.  Besides brushing my teeth everyday, which i already do, what are some fast free whitening tips?

you can go to the dentist, they have a special technique for whitening theeths. although, this will damage the immunisation of them in the future. the effect is great on spot, but on long term it is not recommended.


kind of urgent. make sure they are real!!!! XD

famous 1902 volcanic eruption, most of the damage i seem to remeber being caused by a pyroclastic flow, killed about 27,000 people. I'm not sure if that is a myth or not!


haha she cant go far enough away! :X JK!  look it up! "virgin galactic"   business tycoon "Sir Richard Branson" is starting the flights next year.... around $200,000 a pop! Paris is one of the celebs who signed up! starts 2007...................

Kind of ironic she's going on Virgin Galactic, huh. Hopefully she stays up there so we don't have to worry about her making us dumber anymore.


Okay I started a new job and I think my boss likes me. The problem is he is married. I want to no if he likes me because I like him too. Okay when we are at work he makes alot of eye contact and when I call him over he has this huge smile across his face and when I am talking to him he gazes deeply into my eyes and holds the stare for like 5 min or until I look away. He also plays with my hair. Like if I have a ponytail he will move it back and forth. He also rubs me on my back and shoulder when he talks to me. And everytime I need help he is always near me. And when I say things like its hot in here he will say yeah most girls think I am. he also asks questions like what did I do last night. And when he talks to me he uses this soft tone voice that he normally does not use. But the problem is that one day I had asked him if he preferred white girls or mexican girls and he said it didn't matter b/c he was a happily married man. I'm confused please help me.

Don't go for it I had a boss that did the same thing to me and guess what I went for it and boy things change real quick afterward and he was married too always complaining about his wife, he is just trying to get in your pants don't let it happen.


I'm doing a research paper, so even a good website address would help!

I don't know any good ones specifically but Wikkipedia would be good. Some slaves were allowed to go to church long as there was a sheriff outside the window, making sure the pastor didn't talk abuot freedom or something. Hope this helps! Good luck on your paper.


i was planning to have a dental implant... ive lost it.. so my lat resort a dental implant.. but am afraid( or just anxious) to what this thing may result..maybe... does the metal inserted will rust...is it a metal that is..can stick into a magnet... i am visualising if a powerful magnet machine wil sudenly pull youtowards, can it be detected in for example in airport metal detectors...?

I have one dental implant and it's been in for around 2 years now and I've had no problems with it. I travel by air a lot and haven't once set off a metal detector.\n\nThe metal used is clinical grade titanium and doesn't rust and has no imperfections so it's perfectly safe.\n\nThey are expensive though. I paid £2100 for the one I had - so I guess that'd be about $3500.\n\nBut the results are amazing, and if you go to a reputable surgeon it should be relatively quick and you wont really suffer much afterwards.\n\nMy surgery took around 45 mins and was done under local anaesthetic. Taking Ibuprofen staved off the pain after the anaesthetic wore off. A week later the stiches were out. Had the crown attached a couple of months later and I've had no problems whatsoever with it. If you can afford it, I totally recommend it.


I never thought she was pretty and her porn movie wasn't nearly as good as Paris's, but who'da thunk she'd look like a basketball someday?


i'm taking a photoshop class and  i have to print projects everytime, so i decided to buy a printer, but i don't know which one.\ndo you know a printer that works well with photoshop? doesn't matters the brand or price. i just want a good quality in my prints.

shouldn't matter the printer, it wil work in photoshop, for the best in photo printing, the better Epson Phot printers, the ink keeps it color longer and teh quality is excellent


Okay last saturday this guy n i hung out for 3 hours or so because he got a new car..we had a whole bunch of fun and finally i had to go home, but at the end of the nite we hunged n kissed..JUST ONCE though..does that mean he likes me...but we still talk alot like through text..n he says im cute...so doest that mean suttin could happen?

my personal opinion is that he likes you. but take it slow. if you still want to be his friend in the long run i say go for he sounds cool and ask him out dont wait from person experins if you wait he will move on. so go fo rthe gold and tell me how it goes


I met a guy and we hit it off.  We got close, then he told me he was married.  We had sex once, I know it was wrong and I am very distraught about it.  I don't plan on seeing him again. Does this make me a terrible person.  I've never done anything like this before, and I feel really bad.

We all have our indiscretions. You made a mistake, you know it, get over it.\n\nYou need to forgive yourself and move on.  It doesn't matter what others think.  What matter most is what you think of yourself. \n\nThe fact that you feel remorse makes you a good person with values who needs to move on and not make the same mistake again.


a bit of his biography,photos,facts,about his career as a wrestler

Hey you know John Cena was on that documenturary, "Beyond The Mat". from like 1999, he also was the leader of the marine-like team on UPN's reality show a few years ago, Also did you know his old gimmick was called "The Prototype"\nhe actually did robot like movements in his matches. really do check that movie out, youd like it.


Most immigrants come to America to have a better life than they do back in their home country, but alot of people think that they just come here to commit crimes and steal other people's jobs and that is not true. Illegal immigrants take a very high risk to come into this country so they can live the american dream. So I think that the Senate should give some type of green card to certain immigrants that have been here for at least 3-5 years and then allow them to have a chance to apply to be a citizen.......

The Government is basically saying that it is OK to break the law (come into this country illegally). If it is OK to break laws, why can't I smoke pot in the middle of the street? Why can't I rob a bank, pay taxes on the money and live as a milionnare??? Risk??? No one gets anywhere in life without taking risks. They knew the risks and made their decision. This country is overpopulated as is and services such as Social Security and Welfare are already strapped. I think a lot of politicians voted on this law because they feared losing their housekeepers, gardeners, and nannies. God forbid if these people of privilege actually have to wash a dish, change a diaper, or get their hands dirty pulling weeds.


My dad has this sinus thing i dont know anything about it. my doctor doesnt seem to be giving me enough of information. please be kind enough to type out everything u know about sinus wats causes it, how to cure it , the side-effects how to deal with it. everything. i need to know everything please! please help me out!

My son had sinutitus, before they will even consider surgery you have to take 3 months of strong antibiotics, have a scope test run up your nose and we also had to see a eye doctor.\nIf the sinutitus is left and keeps getting worse it could and will affect his eye sight. Because under your eye you have a sinus pocket, best way i can explain it. They showed me on my sons x-ray how the socket of the eye was droping due to sinitus.  \nAnyway if this is the case the sooner you get him surgery the better. They go up through there nose to do this. Usually if they do ok it's a same day surgery and go home.\nThe doctor who done my sons was also a doc. out in the field when he was in service. He told us instead of buying salt water from drugstore. MIX 8 tablespoons of canning salt and 4 tablespoons of baking soda to a gallon of DISTILLED WATER. \nIn which you will have to squirt a cup up each nostril each day after surgery.\nHe was right it does do more good for sinus my son still uses this method. \nhope this helps you. If you need more info just ask


I think I had this mole on my eye pupil since I was born... Not sure though, but this mole doesn't do anything and it does not affects my eyesight of what-so-ever... Does anyone know what is this mole?

I don't think it is anything to worry about, but if you are worried go see and optician


Its sad to see religious people say things like "You will burn in hell". That is such a contradiction to your beliefs. You wont consider evolution of even a SOCIETY, not to mention a species. Gays are going to burn in hell? Science will show you men who were born with female brains people! What about them? Or hermaphrodites? WHat do they do?  You are so close minded and blind to the reality of the world. We do not live in biblical times anymore!\n\ngod made us, it made everything about us, we have free will and a desire to learn and understand our lives.  This "burn in hell" stuff is dealing with someone that challenges their beliefs, instead of practicing the Gospel they so mindlessly follow. instead they scare people into believing in something that is YOUR CHOICE to believe or not.  Which is ultimate contradiction.

Do not generalise please. Most of the religious people are ok.


I once had sex with two guys that wanted to double f**k me (both penis's in my vagina at the same time - I was sandwitched in between).  They both said they weren't bi, but it seemed like a fairly bi act to me (I mean both of their penises were touching).\n\nI don't care if they were bi; I'm just curious to know what people think (and yes, I am bi).

I think what you did was hot!!! I'd love to try it sometime....as for being gay or bi, noooooo. It was FUN!!!\nKeep the fun going, and please don't listen to close to these close minded goofs that don't know what we know!!!


I would love to encourage her and help her all I can without pushing her ofcourse.\nWe live no where near an ocean.\nQUESTION IS.\nDoes anyone have any advice on steps she can start taking in\nthe right direction.

She will need a strong science background so I'd encourage to her to learn more about biology and other life sciences. She can take classes in school and read about marine biology. There are hundreds of great books on the topic. There are also summer camps for kids interested in marine biology. Some of them will teach the kids to scuba dive and snorkel and give them hands on experience with sea life. The Dolphin Research Center in Florida has a dolphin camp for kids. I added the link at the bottom. Once she is ready for college, there are several universities with excellent marine biology programs. They will look for applicants with strong science and math grades as well as good test scores. Hope that helps.


just wondering all the ways i know are getting boring!!! :D

try gettin your man to lift you up so that you are sittin on him with your legs around his waist and him inside you then he can press you up against a wall to help him support you...works for me anyway

No, you should not drink Evian because it makes you Naive if you drink it backwards. Definitely do not drink Avian.


Academically speaking, can you highlight the differences between the two schools?  We have to decide where to send my son, and we don't have enough information to make that decision yet. We have to decide next year.  Thanks.

Boy thats a toss up.  They both have proximity to lower income areas which, ultimately have an effect on the quality of the public education.  Of course, today, the houses in the lower income areas cost about $800k.  I'd say these days, its going to be about even.  Heres some stats to help you decide:  Aragon:  1565 students - expenditures per student:  $13,794.  Teacher/student ratio:  22.2 to 1.  Caucasion:  48.31%, African American:  1.66%, Asian:  34.19%, Hispanic:  15.53%, Native American: 0.32%.   San Mateo:  1375 students.  expenditures per student:  $13,794.  Teacher/student ratio:  21.2 to 1.  Caucasion:  37.1%, African American:  4.58%, Asian:  26.11%, Hispanic:  31.85%, Native American: 0.36%.


these are produced by using limestone,binder and an extruder.But how do they do it?

The Manufacturing\nProcess\nQuarrying limestone\n\n    * 1 Approximately 95 percent of the limestone produced in the United States is quarried. After a sufficient reserve (twenty-five years' worth is recommended) has been prospected, the land that covers the deposit is removed with bulldozers and scrapers. If the chalk is close to the surface, an open shelf quarry method can be used; however, this is very rare. Usually an open pit quarry method is used instead. In this method, holes are drilled into the rock, explosives are placed inside, and the rock is blown apart. Depending on the nature of the deposit, a pit can be enlarged laterally or vertically.\n\nPulverizing the chalk\n\n    * 2 Once comparatively large chunks of limestone have been quarried, they need to be transported to crushing machines, where they are pulverized to meet the demands of the chalk industry. The first step is primary crushing. Various crushers exist, but the principle is the same: all compress the stone with jaws or a cone, or shatter it through impact. Secondary crushing is accomplished by smaller crushers that work at higher speeds, producing pebbles which are then ground and pulverized.\n    * 3 The next phase, wet grinding, washes away impurities. It is used to make the fine grade of limestone necessary to make chalk suitable for writing purposes. Wet grinding is carried out in ball mills—rotating steel drums with steel balls inside that pulverize the chalk until it is very fine.\n\nAfter grinding, the chalk particles are sifted over vibrating screens to separate the finer particles. The particles are then mixed with water, extruded through a die of the proper size, and cut to the proper length. Finally, the chalk is cured in an oven for four days.\nAfter grinding, the chalk particles are sifted over vibrating screens to separate the finer particles. The particles are then mixed with water, extruded through a die of the proper size, and cut to the proper length. Finally, the chalk is cured in an oven for four days.\n\nDehydrating gypsum\n\n    * 4 Gypsum, like limestone, is also quarried and pulverized. The major difference in processing gypsum is that it must be dehydrated to form calcium sulfate, the major component of colored chalk. This is done in a kettle, a large combustion chamber in which the gypsum is heated to between 244 and 253 degrees Fahrenheit (116-121 degrees Celsius). It is allowed to boil until it has been reduced by twelve to fifteen percent, at which point its water content will have been reduced from 20.9 percent to between 5 and 6 percent. To further reduce the water, the gypsum is reheated to about 402 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius), at which point it is removed from the kettle. By now, almost all of the water has evaporated, leaving calcium sulfate.\n\nSifting, cleaning, and shipping\nthe chalk\n\n    * 5 The particles of chalk or calcium sulfate are now conveyed to vibrating screens that sift out the finer material. The ensuing fine chalk is then washed, dried, packed in bags, and shipped to the manufacturer. Upon receiving chalk or calcium sulfate, the chalk factory usually grinds the materials again to render them smooth and uniformly fine.\n\nMaking white classroom chalk\n\n    * 6 To make white classroom chalk, the manufacturer adds water to form a thick slurry with the consistency of clay. The slurry is then placed into and extruded from a die—an orifice of the desired long, thin shape. Cut into lengths of approximately 24.43 inches (62 centimeters), the sticks are next placed on a sheet that contains places for five such sticks. The sheet is then placed in an oven, where the chalk cures for four days at 188 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius). After it has cured, the sticks are cut into 80 millimeters lengths.\n\nMaking colored classroom chalk\n\n    * 7 Pigments (dry, natural, colored materials) are mixed in with the calcium carbonate while both are dry (the procedure is similar to sifting flo

Plz Help Me !\nI Had Reinstall Windows XP On My Computer , Installed ZoneAlarm .. \nBut When I Scan For Spywares On My ZoneAlarm , The Files That Were Scanned Were Not Mine.. Plz Help Me !!!

Are you sure they are not your files?? Windows XP installs thousands of files. If you selected Windows Repair then all the old files would still be there. \n\nDownload Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, AVG (Grisoft anti virus) and HijackThis. Run them all. In HijackThis you will find a Misc Tools section run the ADSpy, this looks for alternate data streams, delete any it finds. \n\nAsk a technical forum to look at your HijackThis log file (you will understand this bit once you run HijackThis).


No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half!

The thickness of the paper increases with ever fold 2 times. And so with  2 to the power of 7 times it  becomes 128 times thicker and makes it impossible to retain the shape of paper and makes it hard to fold it exactly half.
