Perhaps our movies are bad enough.  Did it ever occur to you that perhaps some of the world is getting an unrealistic picture of the Untied States because of some of the Users here at Yahoo! Answers?

I am SO HAPPY you brought this up.  I have been trying to figure out how to bring up the exact same thing.\n\nI am a Christian woman.  I am also a VERY PROUD AMERICAN! I have stated elsewhere here that I think we live in the greatest country in the world. For that, I was accused of being biased on the rest of my answer to a question. My response was something to the effect of, You bet I am!\n\n http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AubWJu0Gnc1GUlucTx9SMdDsy6IX?qid=1006021204382\n\n\nNow with that said we are FAR from perfect. As often as this site has made me feel proud to be a Christian and an American, it has made me equally ashamed to be. Being able to honestly say that, makes me sadder than I can express to you.\n\nFor all the brilliant and wonderful people we have in this country, we also have some of the absolute, MOST ignorant! This is the land of freedoms and opportuntites. Unfortunately some people take their rights to be ignorant and stupid to extremes.\n\nNow granted, a portion of the problem, is the chronilogical age of some of the users. I think most people can recognize them and forgive them for their indiscretions here. There is good reason to believe that they will mature as they grow.\n\nThere are so many people here, who truly do not understand what an amazing thing we have here with Yahoo! Answers. I think there are just so many that do not realize that this really IS a direct link to the rest of the world. Instantly.\n\nI on occasion, go to the Politics and or Religions catagories. The "discussions"  that go on in some of these threads is amazing.  We can actually ask people that we are at war with, What do they think about it. Me! You! Everyone here! CAN actually talk to not only your friends and neighbors here, but ALSO those that we are at war with! Right NOW!  What greater tool for peace could there be. The potential is phenominal!  The war is no longer somewhere, on the other side of the world.  It is with the guy I was talking to about religion or politics or anything else, to last night before I went to bed. And you know what? He had to agree with some of my points, and I had to agree with some of his.  Sometimes we have no clue who, we are agreeing with!  Then you have people enter these threads, that just come out with the most assenine things. The worst of course was a man who claimed to be an Anerican Christian Doctor.  He would enter religious threads and start swearing at people who had a different opinion than he.  He answered some medical questions by prescribing self mutilation.  He had made suggestions in both catagories that people should just go and kill themselves. How ignorant.\n\nThe rest of the world sees us as blind sheep that are led reasonlessly by our media.  They think that we could not put two thought together if we were not told what they were first. They also think that we blindly follow our government, without questioning it. They think that we have no respect for ourselves, let alone anyone else. I think they also think that we greatly abuse our "freedoms", and flaunt them to the rest of the world. They think that we are arrogant, and that we have no vision of existence outside of our own boarders.\n\nI am afraid that I agree, that many users on this site reinforce those beliefs.  I stated in another answer, somewhere else, that I do not think that "many Americans" realize that this IS an international site, and that IF they did, I would hope that they would behave better.

yes! love makes you do crazy things! and stupid things! and some smart things!

i mean how were they able to re-arm without us doing anything about it.

Germany was a major ally of Great Britain and the US after the war.  We extended huge credits to the Reichsbank for them to build up their industries and infrastructure so they could pay the massive war compensations (reparations) that we demanded of them.  The German economy flourished but it took a major hit along with the US in the 1929 stock market crash.  When Hitler came to power in 1933, he used the revived German economy to make arms and build up the armed forces, again using credit from the west, negotiated by his finance minister, Schacht.  By this point, we were appeasing the Germans, keeping them happy to avoid another war.  By the mid 1930's, the new German military was ready.  The air force was tested in the Spanish civil war and then Hitler started taking back German lands.  Poland was last and we all know what happened after that...

i have a crush on someone and i want tips on whether he is crushing back

Observe what he does around you. He might get flustered a bit, or seems to be more talkative around you. This should answer your question.

Example: I removed weatherbug from my computer. The weatherbug sometimes shows up upon log on. On other programs I go to add/remove programs and click remove, but the program will not remove? Any help?

If WeatherBug had a bad uninstall, it's possible to reinstall the program and then uninstall it again and hopefully that uninstall will grab the garbage that the previous attempt didn't.  It happens sometimes.  Also, as Weatherbug has a boot agent (runs at startup) you should be sure to reboot after uninstalling the program.\n\nAs for the other issue, are you saying that all of your programs give you trouble when you try to add/remove them?  I don't suggest randomly deleting folders from your machine unless you're an experienced user.  Give more info on the other issue and I'll try more to help.

I have noticed over the years that it is common for evangelical and fundamentalist Christians to want to use the word "Christian" in a different way than it is commonly used.\n\nThis leads to confusion and hard feelings. For example, to many fundamentalist Christians, they claim that Catholics or old line protestant faiths such as Anglicanism and Methodism are not Christian. \n\n1. If you are a fundamentalist Christian, do you realize you are doing it? Why do you do it?\n\n2. If you are not a fundamentalist Christian, have you noticed this?

I have seen the phenomenon you're describing, but I don't think it's using the term "Christian" in a different way so much as having an incorrect notion of who is and is not a Christian.\n\nIn any religion you are going to find a small subset of people who believe they and they alone possess the truth and anyone slightly outside their group is completely wrong.  Some fundamentalist Christians fall into this trap and believe that anyone disagreeing with any part of their beliefs is not a Christian.\n\nI consider myself a fundamentalist Christian.  When I was young I believed silly things like Catholics weren't real Christians.  As I grew in my relationship with God I realized that was dead wrong.

It doesn't hurt anyone.  They just want to be together just like any other couple.  And no answers that have to do with religion please.  Not everyone is a christian and not everyone believes in God so that has nothing to do with the law against gays getting married.

I agree that it should legal. The only reason it's not is because the right-wing seems deadset on living in the past and not progressing at all. It will happen one day, trust me. There were people who once said black people or women would never have the right to vote either. And to the first answerer, homosexuality is not the only way AIDS is spread!


If you're a guy that judges by what people say, you're in for a world of hurt and not just in the dating game.  When you buy a car, do you just listen for the salesman or do you check out the product?  Do you honestly believe every advertising claim on TV?  Unless you're a complete idiot, you don't.  The same way that what people say in relationships should never be taken at face value, and it goes double with women.  What they say, what they do, why they think they are saying or doing, and the real motivations behind what they do are ALL completely different things.  You need to become a Sherlock Holmes to figure it out, but there are resources available to help you learn this skill.  Try the link below to get you started.


That are many losses in the energy in a transformer. One is by heat dissipation by resistance in the coils of the transformer. Others are the hysterisis loss in the core, eddy currents in the core and the magnetic field link loss. What are the eddy currents and how are they prevented by giving the core a special shape? What is the hysterisis loss and how is it prevented be laminating the soft-iron core? What is the magnetic field link loss and how is it prevented by using a soft-iron core?

Hystrerisis is a event, which happens in cores of transformer. This happens due to residual magnetism in core which is unable to change in the time when field direction changes ,due to alternative magnetic field. The heat loss, which is generated in this condition, can be calculated by calculating the area of B-H curve

What has turned you on in the past? What would you like to hear a man say to you to make you fall for them more. Could any written words have an effect on you make you feel romantic or sexy toward anyone?

Sencerity. Lots of things can seduce a woman, but you should always mean them. If you tell a woman you love her, then you better really love her. Keeping that in mind here are some things that I suggest.\nTelling her she is beautiful, but be specfic, like what makes her beautiful. Her eyes? Her hair?\nBe honest about your feelings. A lot of guys think's "uncool" and "unmanly", but I love it when a guy is comfortable enough with me to tell me how he feels. Share your sensitive side. I recently had a guy admit that he cried when he found out that his last gf cheated on him and I thought "how sweet". And I know you are probably thinking "what a wuss", but I think it's really sexy. Some guys act like they don't even have feelings. \nTell her what you like about her(personality), this means you actually have to like her, not just want to sleep with her. \nPay attention to what she likes. Know her favorite color, favorite flower, even her fav flavor gum. It may sound stupid, but she will really like it if she knows that you paid enough attention to her to know things like that. Like is she tells you favorite candy bar is twix and you pick one up on the way to see her, she will know that you remembered, it may seem like something small, but it means you listened.\n\nWell, I hope all that helps!!! Good Luck, and remember to always be honest!!!!


i'm a little confused my this...  how am i losing protein and what is too much?  she didn't seem too concerned about it, and ran a couple tests but never said anything else about it.  i just want to know what it means to be losing protein in my urine...???

This test is most often performed when kidney disease is suspected. It may be used as a screening test.\n\nNormally, protein is not found in urine when a routine dipstick test is performed. This is because the kidney is supposed to keep large molecules, such as protein, in the blood and only filter out smaller impurities. Even if small amounts of protein do get through, they are normally re-absorbed by the body and used as a source of energy.\n\nSome proteins will appear in the urine if the levels of protein in blood become high, even when the kidney is functioning properly.\n\nIf the kidney is diseased, protein will appear in the urine -- even if the blood levels are normalNormal Values:\n\n\nFor a spot check by dipstick: the normal values are approximately 0 to 8 mg/dl. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.\nFor a 24-hour test: the normal value is less than 150mg per 24 hours.\nNote: mg/dl = milligrams per deciliter\n\nWhat abnormal results mean:\nAbnormal results may mean an increase in urine protein, and this may indicate: \n\nAmyloidosis\nBacterial pyelonephritis\nBladder tumor\nCongestive heart failure (inadequately perfusing the kidneys)\nDiabetic nephropathy\nGlomerulonephritis\nGoodpasture's syndrome\nHeavy metal poisoning\nLupus erythematosus\nMalignant hypertension\nMultiple myeloma\nNephrotic syndrome\nNephrotoxic drug therapy\nPolycystic kidney disease\nPreeclampsia\nAdditional conditions under which the test may be performed: \nAcute nephritic syndrome\nComplicated UTI (pyelonephritis)\nEclampsia\nHemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)\nInterstitial nephritis\nMedullary cystic disease\nMembranoproliferative GN I\nMembranoproliferative GN II\nMembranous nephropathy\nNecrotizing vasculitis\nPost-streptococcal GN\nRapidly progressive (crescentic) glomerulonephritis\nReflux nephropathy\nRenal vein thrombosis\nRocky mountain spotted fever


need the flexibility.\nhow to find a legit school on line

Mediocre. I feel that online schools take away  from the experience of being in a live college environment. Although the at home convenience may be helpful and beneficial to others, i think that everyone should participate from a college campus. However i believe the education offered is the same. Also i do believe that you learning may be easier when in the classroom setting.

I need to know the ecosystem of the rain forest for a class presentation.

Rainforests are their own ecosystems.  They have a warm and moist climate with rainfall of 79 to 157 inches a year.  The nutrients in the soil cycle rapidly, causing the soils to be nutrient poor.  They have the highest biodiversity of the ecosystmes.


However, I don't even know where to get started without experience???

Sunny is correct in telling you that you need only get your RE license to start selling.  However, what Sunny failed to mention is that these companies (at least the successful ones) will want you to have at least bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Accounting or Economics.  Most of them will want you to have your real estate brokers’ license as well.\nAlso, please don’t be fooled by Sunny’s flippant comments about just taking the classes and getting started.  I’m not saying you can’t do well at it, I’m saying it takes a lot of VERY HARD WORK to make your self successful at it.  I know several commercial brokers, and a few successful ones, and the ones that are successful don’t half ass it, they work 60-70 hrs a week.  The payoff for these few is Huge, I’m talking high six and sometimes seven figure incomes but you have to want it, and you have to work for it!\nI hope I have given you a little bit better insight into the world of commercial real estate.  \nI truly wish you the best!

"life of the mother" is the only exception to the S.D. ban\n\nhttp://csconservative.tripod.com

They should since all persons in the jurisdiction of the USA are supposed enjoy equal protection under the law according to the 14th Ammendment (read the last part). Pro-choicers dispute whether or not preborn human beings are persons, but in most dictionaries I have looked at, the first definition of 'person' is 'human, individual'. According to biology texts, preborn homo sapiens (human beings) are defined as "individuals' even though they are in utero (in their mother's uterus) and even if they are a single celled zygote. In my embryology text "A zygote is the beginning of a new human being" The pre-born human being is a person.

if so what? what was his name and what did he look like.

No, Fred is the first St Louis Cardinal mascot, although the Cardinals did have the San Diego Chicken visit for a while in the '70s, giving them the idea for their own mascot, who became Fred.


Do people watch indoor rowing regattas?  Is it a sport where spectators are normal?

Yes, it is actually more common to have lots of people around you and in the boat bay when doing an indoor race. Enjoy the moment, make the crowd work towards your advantage and just listen to the cheering and pretend its all for you. I have done a couple indoor regatas, so I speak from experience. good luck

I am 15 and when I graduate I am thinking of becoming a commercial model. I can be in commercials,music videos, and hair magazines. I want to know if I would just go straight to the agency or go to the modeling school first, or should I just read up on some books now so I know what Im looking?

You don't have to go to modeling school. Try visit www.starzcasting.com. They have a lot of good tips for aspiring models: how to start out, be safe when going to auditions, etc. They even have a casting call section that lists casting calls for acting and modeling nationwide.


The light is swiched on for 10 minutes.The input voltage is 100 volts.

Deppends on the bulb, and it's efficiency, total energy in = total out. 50W at 10 min is 30000 Jouls of energy.\nThe efficency of an average incad. bulb is about 15% efficient, so I would say you get about 4500J of light, and the rest would mostly be heat, about 25500J of heat.\n\nI am not sure how to convert the Jouls into Lumens, and Calories/BTUs, but it can be done.

Louis Peter Ortiz- 2nd Baseman for the Phillies. Was with the Cardinals before that. Set the double play record in 1953. Batting average .298, in 1953 at Rochester. Have a Topps ball card numbered 114, would like some info please,no smartasses. Serious answers only!

You need the date off the card and then you can go to any sports memoribilia store and ask them to look it up, or go to a bookstore and look for a Baseball Card almanac which lists all the values.  The value will vary depending on the condition of the card and the demand when you want to sell it (If the card is worth $15, but people are only willing to offer you $10, the card is worth $10, no matter what the book says).\n\nThe year of the card would be the last year listed that he played plus 1.  If it has all his stats through 1955, then it is a 1956 year card.


Dude, in the beginning was the match, and then came the cigarette, and only then came the cigarette lighter ! I quote from the Wikipedia :\nMATCHES : \nA predecessor of the match, small sticks of pinewood impregnated with sulfur, was developed in China as early as in 577 AD.\nThe first modern match was invented in 1805, by K. Chancel, assistant to Professor L. J. Thénard of Paris. The head of the match consisted of a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, sugar, and rubber. They were ignited by dipping the tip of the match in a small asbestos bottle filled with sulfuric acid. \nThis kind of match was quite expensive and its usage was dangerous, so Chancel's matches never gained much popularity.\nThe first friction match was invented by English chemist John Walker in 1827. Early work had been done by Robert Boyle in the 1680s with phosphorus and sulfur, but his efforts had not produced useful results. Walker discovered a mixture of antimony (III) sulfide, potassium chlorate, gum, and starch could be ignited by striking against any rough surface. Walker called the matches 'Congreves', but the process was patented by Samuel Jones and the matches were sold as 'Lucifers'. \nThe early matches had a number of problems -- the flame was unsteady and the initial reaction was disconcertingly violent; additionally the odor produced by the burning match was unpleasant. The smell is described as a "firework"odor. Despite these problems, the new matches were responsible for a marked increase in the number of smokers. Lucifers reportedly could ignite explosively, sometimes throwing sparks at a considerable distance.\n...In 1831, Frenchman Charles Sauria added white phosphorus to remove the smell. These new matches had to be kept in an airtight box but were popular. Unfortunately, those involved in the manufacture of the new matches were afflicted with "phossy-jaw" and other bone disorders, and there was enough white phosphorus in one pack to kill a person. There was a vociferous campaign to ban these matches once the dangers became known.\nIn 1836, János Irinyi of Hungary replaced potassium chlorate with lead oxide and obtained matches that ignited quietly and smoothly.\nAnd at last, the safety match was invented in 1836 by the Hungarian János Irinyi who was a student of chemistry. In 1836 an unsuccessful experiment by his professor, Meissner, gave Irinyi the idea to replace potassium chlorate with lead dioxide in the head of phosphorous match. He dissolved phosphorus in water and shook it in a glass foil, until it became granulated. He mixed the phosphorus with lead and gumiarabicum, poured the paste-like mass into a jar, and dipped the pine sticks into the mixture and let them dry. When he tried them that evening, all of them lighted evenly. Irinyi thus invented the "noiseless" safety match and sold the invention to István Rómer, a match manufacturer. Rómer, a rich Hungarian pharmacist living in Vienna, bought the invention and production rights from Irinyi, the poor student, for 60 Forints. The production of matches was now fully underway. István Rómer became rich off Irinyi's invention, but Irinyi himself died poor and abandoned in Vértes.\nCIGARETTE LIGHTERS : \nHand-rolled cigarettes hit the US, UK and Europen markets, in the 1880s. But machine-made and mass-produced cigarettes became popular only around 1915. \nWith cigarettes gaining in popularity, came the need for a slick method for lighting them. The Zippo Manufacturing Company was founded in 1932 by George G. Blaisdell, who developed the first-ever 'Zippo' cigarette lighter in late 1932.


I have had a spyware virus on my computer, and it's been slowing my computer down. When i remove my spyware virus, will my computer still be slow? or will it become fast again?

No. If i were you i would get Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition to maintain your computer. Try to defrag it once in a while. Try to clean out your disk space.


If so, which one and what made you decide to meet them and what happened and did it work out? No stories about a friend or someone you know, just first hand accounts. Message me if you have advice on where to look, I can't get out much anymore, but still want a family and kids.

i met someone on blackplanet and met them and it started off great but it ended up in heartbreak, but hey that can happen with someone down the street. its pretty much the same as meeting people in person. there will still be freaks and crazy people but there seems to be more bisexuals and freaks. i wouldn't recommend long distance though cause they have secret lives.


I would say myspace because i have most of those an xanga isnt good because it doesnt let u do anything except let people what you did that day and myspace lets you say everything u want and u can put polls and surveys and pictures and information about you and to top it of your friends can communicate back and forth with you and people can leave comments and things and say stuff about your pictures and you get buddies and have a top 8 \n\nknow the bad thing about myspace is that there has been someone who has dies from it becuase a killer look on a myspace and found out where they lived and killed them \n\nBut if u dont want that to happen you can either make your profile private so only your friends can see or u should choose cumthing els\n\nknow i have not tried the myyearboook but none of my friends have it and most of the fun with myspace is that almost everyone has one so u can comment on alot of peoples myspace s

Hes a big liar and very irresponsible,i just want out but we got two 2 kids already

If you are asking this question, chances are much better than not that you aren't in love with him anymore. While I don't think divorce helps kids in the least bit, sometimes staying married "for the kids" does more harm than a divorce would.\n\nYou have to decide for yourself and for your family which is truly in everyone concerned's best interest. Don't count yourself out. If you want to make a go at it, then get counseling, talk, do what you have to.\n\nIf it's time to go.. then it's time to go. Don't be afraid to fight for what is fair... just really look at what is important and try to keep the proceedings as amicable as possible.\n\nGood luck, it won't be easy but I am sure you can do it.


It seems to eat the food my wife puts down the sink, and only eats when she tries to turn on the lights any idea what animal species this might be?

Hey !\nI really need some help with a math problem and would appreciate if someone could help me out.\n\nA straight angel cylinder is inside a given  half sphere with the radius R. What is the relationship between the cylinder radius and height so it’s volume get as big as  possible??

OK, I love a good math problem, here goes...\n\nVolume of cylinder is PI r^2 h.\n\nHeight of cylinder is h.\n\nRadius of cylinder if sqrt (R^2 - h^2).\n\nThus volume of cylinder = PI (R^2 - h^2) h. This is equal to PI R^2 h - PI h^3.\n\nTo find maximum, find derivative and set equal to zero, or\nPI R^2 = 3 PI h^2.\n\nThis in turn simplifies to h = R / sqrt (3).


A close relative has dementia, and has become less and less able to speak. However, she can still continue to sing hundreds of songs from memory perfectly. \n\nI am reminded of people who are are bad stutterers and can barely talk, but can sing. \n\nHow is this possible?

Singing is a repititious behavior--you sing songs you've sung before.  Speech is different, because usually every time you speak, you say something original and new.  With speech, you are potentially using any number of brain centers.  If you're talking about your plans, you might use you prefrontal cortex that helps you with planning.  If you're talking about something you saw, you might be using your primary visual cortex on the occipital lobe.  If you're talking about emotions, you'd likely involve you limbic systems.\n\nThere's a good probablity that her loss of speech function is not due to a loss of vocal motor control, but rather it is due to a loss of the cortical functions that go into organizing your thoughts.  Two questions: 1) is she similarly impared in writing as a means of communication?  If so, it suggests that the issues are not matters of vocal control, but in thought arrangement.  2) Does she sing new and unique songs that have never been sung, or is she repeating an oft-heard song?\n\nAnyone who has ever done karaoke while drunk knows that singing drunk can be very easy.  Coordination of motor function is controlled by the cerebellum (the large mass of brain that sits like a great big cauliflower at the back of the brain) unless it is pre-empted by the higher functions of the cerebral cortex.  If the cortex exerts direct control, it can have a tendency to "over-think" and cause extra mistakes.  You might have noticed this when playing bowling or miniature golf, that you tend to do better if you don't "think about it."  This is because the cortex can inhibit the function of the cerebellum.\n\nFinally, there are some things that can happen in dementia where a single part of the brain gets extra attention due to a loss of function in other places.  It has been observed that some stroke victims become prolific artists, without any specialized training, because the artistic centers of the brain are unaffected by damage that exists elsewhere.  The result is that the brain focuses more effort into the undamaged areas, and those undamaded areas become repositries of great skill.  Something similar is thought to be happening in the so-called "idiot savant," the person with many great mental deficits, but a noted genius in some particular area.

A yeast infection which has shown up as a rash on the skin from knees to shoulders.

"Systemic candidiasis is candidal infection throughout the body. This condition is rare. In systemic candidal disease, up to 75% of people may die. Even common mouth and vaginal yeast infections can cause critical illness and can be more resistant to normal treatment. This rash can manifest with bruises that can be felt. The bruises result from a reaction and response to Candida in blood vessels. Systemic yeast infections that return may be a sign of more serious diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS."


Sound waves travel faster through MORE dense fluids, such as water, and solid objects than through the air, and also travel faster through LESS dense fluids (helium) than through air. why?

Sound travels faster through water because the particles in water are already touching each other (in gases the particles are all spread out). [the other answers have dealt with this in more detail]\n\nHelium is less dense than air becuase helium molecules weigh less than regular air molecules (a molecule of helium is two helium atoms, so its atomic weight is 2x 2 = 4. Air is mostly nitrogen, with molecular weight 2x 14 = 28).\n\nHowever, the molecules in helium are almost exactly as close together as the molcules in air. In fact, in any gas, one mole of molecules takes up the same amount of space - 24 litres at standard temperature and atmospheric pressure.\n\nSo, sound can travel faster through helium because the particles are the same distance apart as air, but they are lighter so it is easier to get them moving.

http://myspace.com/fulturnjones\n\nWhat do you think of their lyrics? They're new, and their lyrics are pretty metaphorical, with alot of biblical references, but don't seem to be a Christian band. I can't seem to figure them out. Tell me what you think of them? Do you think they'll make it to the radio?

I thought they were not half bad, always looking for new music!, not my normal genres of country, metal, rock and folk, but I enjoy all forms of music. As previously mentioned, good lyrics, and a decent beat. As far as I'm concerned, there is not alot of good music played on the radio, just pop and music with no soul (same thing I guess). So no, I don't think they'll make it on "big" radio, but it's too bad.


I'm very bored and at work so I'm limited to what I can do on the computer. Does anyone know of any interesting web pages?


I have been on Yahoo answers for about 3 days now and I have to say, the level of maturity of certain posters is pretty sad.  I'm sure that they are just kids that are trying to be funny and or rebellious.  But I ask them this.  Should adults take you seriously if you have immature and outright idiotic attitudes?\nCan you really blame adults for not listening to what you have to say if all you have to say is uneducated, offensive and just plain stupid comments?

Maybe not, but everybody is entitled to their own opinion.\nIf we keep the mutual respect of one anothers opinions its cool.\nJust don't take some answers too personally though.Keep an open mind on the suggestions. Just think about it before taking it all in.


Are salicylic acid skin products 4 acne,pores treatment  harmful?\nWhat are its side effects

It is not harmful as long as its in a solution of 2-3%, diluted and applied topically in the treatment of Acne. It can be applied topically in a solution of 10 - 60%) often  by dermatologists to remove Warts. The only real side effects could be stinging or burning and that was from people that used it twice a day at a high concentration. Salicylic Acid is an active ingredient in many topically applied Skin Care products (including moisturizing creams). Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) is manufactured from the acetate ester of the hydroxyl group of Salicylic Acid.

I heared 59 1/2 but that is from the date of birth or date of conception?  If it is cashed in days or weeks early is there a 10%penalty

Ages always mean from date of birth.\n\nWith a traditional IRA, once you reach age 59½, the threat of the 10% penalty disappears. You can withdraw as much from your regular IRAs as you want, penalty-free. Cash coming out of the account is taxable in your top tax bracket, except to the extent that it represents a return of nondeductible contributions


Im trying to build my leg muscles. I go to the gym everyday and run on the eliptical for 1/2 hout straight, then walk the treadmill for 15 minutes, then weight work on them for 1/2 hour, My legs are skinny, I need to tone them before summer. How long does toning take?

First off, you may be going too much. If you are hitting the weights to build your legs every day, you are over training. You need to give them time to recover, which takes at least 48 hours. \n\nA good routine I've used for my legs is 3 sets each of squats, leg press, leg curls, and calf raises. Try to do 4-6 reps for each set of squats. If you can do 6, increase the weight the next set. If you can't do 4, decrease the weight. For the other exercises, try to do 8-12 reps per set. Do this twice a week, and you will start seeing better legs in just a few weeks. On the other days, work on other muscle groups.

A friend has been a victim of an on-line purchase scam.  Her bank did not put a hold on this out of state check, nor did they inform her that she would be responsible if the check did not clear properly.  Is there a law that could make the bank resposible in this case.  The bank has put a freeze on her accounts and she has nothing now.  Please help me!

The bank is not responsible to make sure that funds are available. It is the depositors responsibilty. The best that can be done is to talk to the bank that the check was drawn on to find out if funds are available to cover it, and of course, sue the writer of the check.


Last year i switched jobs. In between I helped a company and they paid me $500 for the work. In 2005 tax return should I just add in my total wages?

They dont really have to send you a 1099 unless they paid you $600 or more.  You could put it on line 21 as other income.  But, the best thing to do is probably to put it on a Schedule C so you can deduct any out of pocket expenses you had associated with that income.  If you put it on Schedule C though you will have to pay Self Employment tax  of 15.3 percemt because you made over $400


I have a overian cyst and they have to do surgery i am just scared i dont really know to much about the surgery.

They will put you to sleep and make a small incision near your belly button. Then they will pump you full of gas to help your other organs move out of the way so that the cyst can be easily seen.\n\nThey will remove the cyst, stitch you up and give you guidelines for taking care of the surgical site.  Pay very careful attention to those details. My site got infected because not all of the stitches dissolved.  (Though I didn't realize it.)\n\nThe gas will absorb into your system on it's own.  You will feel bloated and full from that. Don't despair. It will go away.  They may say something like 3 days, but it could take a week.\n\nGood luck!


Has anybody had the invisilign or clear braces??? If so, how much did they cost you?

My fiance was accused of a crime in which his information was released to all local newspapers. His boss told him that since he worked in this very public dealership, it was too embarrassing to them to keep him around. At first, they told him to go home and come back when everything was resolved. Then they fired him the next day. Is there anything that can be done about this?

I don't think so. Your fiance's employer has the right to terminate an employee at its own discretion, unless the termination is done in reliation for something like filing a worker's compensation claim. An employer is not required to keep an employee on its staff when the employee's presence may cast an unfavorable shadow on the employer and hurt the reputation of the business, such as in the case of your fiancee. Too bad your fiancee doesn't have a more supportive employer.

And why don’t Christians and Jews accept the existence Mohammed and Allah?\nI am talking in general.

They believe that Jesus was a prophet, not God, and he was a lesser prophet than Mohammed. Still important, but not nearly as important as Mohammed (in the eyes of a Muslim person). \n\nThey believe that Judaism exists because Judaism is a religion. As a Christian, I believe that other religions exist. So if that's what you mean, then it's just another religion.\n\nNow, as for Christians, I believe that we do accept the existence of Mohammed, but, in the eyes of Christians, Mohammed was basically someone who started a new religion that Christians don't support.\n\nAnd Christians don't believe in Allah because we believe in the one true God, and we don't believe the one true God is Allah. Christians believe in one God, and Muslims believe in one god, but they're different gods, if that makes sense. Muslims believe in Allah and Christians believe in Jesus, the Trinity, etc.

I had a boyfriend of 4.5 years. We took a 6 month break after I moved to LA and he stayed back home. We got back together and did the long distance thing for another year and then he broke up with me in June because I wanted to get engaged. He wanted to date a certain woman and left me. 9 months later, he says the women he dated don't have good hearts like me and he really misses me. He says he wants to go on a vacation with me and rekindle a relationship with me. We've both decided we won't have sex unless I have a ring on my finger and we are engaged. The sex was so great before that we don't want it to trap us this time. He seems sincere in wanting to learn who I am and what I am about now. He seems to respect me and where I am in my life. Also, I know he's curious. Can I trust him? Should I let him back into my life? Should I go on vacation with him??

NO!!!!  I'd tell him you want to see how things go for awhile before you go on vacation with him.  Not having sex is going to be hard enough on both of you going on vacation just the 2 of you is way to tempting.


Countries that are much poorer than us have it.  Where does all our tax money go that we can't have universal coverage?

It comes down to GREED! Everyone is out to make money in healthcare. The Bush greed monkeys have the health industry paying them left and right to keep the prices going up and up! Lets get someone in office that will get universal healthcare! Im sure the middle and lower class would approve, but hey the Bushits dont deal with anything but the upper class!


Only if they are overused. A person on diuretic therapy should have periodic tests of their kidney function.\n\nPatients in renal (kidney) failure, but not yet on dialysis, often are dosed at MUCH higher levels than the average patient.\n\nI think the mechanism when diuretics cause kidney damage is related to dehydration which reduces blood flow to the kidneys.


after washing my hair it soon goes rock hard. only after around 3 days does it return to normal and look thin and that is because its slightly greasy. my hair is straight and slightly long(im a male by the way). it combs normally usually, but after washing it just looks awful. even after putting gel and lots of water it still goes bad after a few hours although the revoery time (3 days) is slightly improved. does anyone have any help on the matter. e.g conditioners, and how exactly you use them. as i use head and shoulders which isnt a separate conditioner.

Try a moisturizing product. Check out the selection at your closest salon and/or spa, as they carry high-end products that you cannot find at dept. stores.\n\nBTW - I have heard that Head & Shoulders is notoriously BAD for your hair, but I don't necessarily know if that it true.

I want to know the meaning of that very long word.

Antidisestablishmentarianism is a political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of church and state.

crystal inside on outside is like a fossil covering protecting the crystal

Yes, it sounds like you have a geode.  The word "geode" comes from a Greek word, meaning "earth shaped".  They can be oblong or shaped like invertebrate fossils. Some are hollow and lined with most beautiful and unusual layers and clusters of various mineral crystals, but others are completely filled by inward-growing crystals.\n\nCheck out this website.  It has lots of pictures of geodes and lots more information.  I hope this helps.


As a precedence, did they free people charged with bootlegging when prohibition ended?

No.  Just as you cannot prosecute someone for doing something that was legal at the time the act was committed but no longer legal, you cannot exonerate someone for breaking what was a law at the time the criminal act was committed.  Look at it this way, it's not what they did that was wrong, it was that they disobeyed what was written as law.

Yeah, but Holywood is like highschool. Most popular people, attitutes, awards, lots of sex and breaking up, new boyfriends and girlfriends etc. It's all part of the life style. I guess it's also a way to show the stars we appricate them. -shrugs-


My girlfriedm had to go the doctor today and take a radioactive iodine pill that will allow the doctors to scan her body for remnants of cancer she had removed last year.They told her she has to stay 3 feet away from people for a day.How does the "radiation" I guess transfer from person to person and what negative effects could it have on the person coming in contact with it.

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and would like to hear anyone's Mac horror stories, if there are any. If I do it, it'll probably be one of the new Macs with Intel processor.

Absolutely Not!!! I have had an IBook for about 4 years now and have had no problems. I still have my PC but never use it. Mac's are way easier to use - rarely have the same problems as PC's and if you have any problems Apple has incredible service. What I am hearing about their latest releases are awesome. I'd say take the leap - never heard anyone regret it.

The thing is that the marijuana plant puts out a heat signature, so one marijuana plant in a field of other green things the police helicopter that was equpied with infrared could spot it. Its not very likely they will find it unless you live somewhere where the police do flybys alot. As for in your house, yeah your grow light will put off a heat signature also but the police arent gonna fly over and automatically come bustin down the door untill they know for sure, because anything puts out heat in your house. The washer, dryer, stove, your shower, and just lights. So they cant really tell anything in your house. Hope this helps


I mean I wanna know every single register information nad purpose from 8086 to pentium :)

You know this topic is too extensive to cover here. \n\nThere is some good reference material covering both types of processors here: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/doc_cpu.htm \n\nIn Pentium class processors, there also model-specific registers  http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/doc_cpu.htm


I need to know because i need to do a report on it!!! So yea if u want to u can add my yahoo messenger account zehren_1313@yahoo.com so i could ask questions about it and yea. If u would like to help just IM me or send me an e-mail\n\n\nThanks Justin

The top speed of a snowmobile varies individually for each model of snowmobile and the conditions that you are riding in. Modifications to the snowmobile will also affect it's top speed.\n  \n     There are four major Snowmobile manufacturers that sell over 80 different models. Each model is designed for a specific purpose that includes; performance, touring, mountain, and trail riding. Snowmobile models are equipped with multiple engine sizes (expressed in cubic centimeters or cc's) from 440cc's and smaller and up to 1000cc's and bigger.\n\n     Certain conditions such as warm snowmobiling weather (40'F and above) and cold snowmobiling weather (10'F and below) as well as deep snow, hard packed snow, or ice riding and the altitude you are riding at are some factors to consider. for example; a snowmobile with a 440cc engine made for trail riding being ridden in deep unpacked snow (4ft) may only have a top speed of 15 mph (if you dont get stuck first). That same snowmobile being ridden on hard packed snow may have a top speed of 80mph.\n\n     To make a long answer short; The approximate top speed for an average performance sled with a 1000cc engine with good traction can reach speeds up to 120mph.

I need the English version of the importance of  forgiving the guilty people sections from holly bible\nhelp me pleas

I hope you mean "Holy Bible".  Matthew 6:14-15 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.  \n\nMatt 18:15-17 tells you how to treat someone who sins against you and Luke 6:27-31 Says we should love our enemies and do good to those who hate us.\n\nDetermine in your heart that you WILL forgive the guilty person and then pray to God for the strength to do it.  Everyday, say out loud, "I forgive ______________ for what he did to me."  By speaking and hearing yourself say this, it makes it easier for you to actually do it.  Forgive them and let it go.\n\nForgiving someone does not mean that you approve of what they did or that it is "OK".  It just means that you no longer hold it against them.  But be safe.  If this person might hurt you again, it is a good idea to keep your distance from them.


Okay so there is a guy I'm kind of friends with and he can't be without a girlfriend for any legnth of time. He goes through girls, he hooks up with them and then dumps them, and sometimes burns bridges along the way. Of course he has now pissed off most of the girls in our grade, but now he is working on the lower grades. What should i do?

well....u really need to tell him hes gonna get his ass kicked.if that happened to me i would get my girls.....take notes) and my new bf and beat the shit out of him....then if that happens others will FOLLOW.....!!


how to chateric this theory?what the suitable example?

Comoseshama is wrong.  What he/she explained is conquering a nation.  Colonization is when a country sends citizens (colonists) to set up a settlement in a new region.  This is then controlled by the "Mother Nation," but many colonies had their own government (like local governments).  \nFor the definition:\n\nColonization - To go to and live in a colony or other civilized setting established in a foreign, hitherto sparsely inhabited or virtually unsettled land.\n\nThat is just about what I just explained.  Hope that helps you.

Scripture is silent about it, is the short answer.  No mention of a good or bad relationship is made.  (Gen. 11:27-32, 12:1-5).  \nSome have inferred that because he left, his family was upset with him; that was how a TV miniseries portrayed it, anyway.  It would have been difficult to leave a land his family had settled in, and perhaps they resented him taking off on the orders of a God they didn't know.  But Terah still had another married son, so he wasn't being left alone; maybe Terah was proud of his son's pioneering spirit and blessed him.  We simply don't know.    \nEither way, Abraham obeyed, and the history of man was changed forever.


Occasionally I run across posts where people indicate that they have seen The Devil in the flesh. \n\nI am admittedly skeptical of such claims (to put it mildly.)\n\nWith that disclaimer out of the way, I'm very curious to know what exactly you saw.\n\nI'm not talking about people who have metaphorically seen the devil in drug addiction or Charles Manson. I'm talking about people who claim to have seen The Devil in the flesh.\n\nI'm curious as to what he looked like, did, said, everything.\n\nIf you're willing to enlighten me, I'm willing to listen.

I will try to explain to you…\n\nFirst of all… the devil is a spirit creature… and is not thrice in structure as a human being is.  A human being is soul, body, and spirit.  Therefore saying “the devil in the flesh” is not a good way to describe such.\n\nFallen celestials are no longer ‘perfect beings’ because fallen angels gained a ‘fallen nature’ after falling from grace.  Being a spirit… a fallen angel’s form is nothing like that of a human being or an animal’s form, etc.\n\nSpirits are physically around… but their nature as spirits is extremely different from anything that the human being normally sees around.  People just try to get around this difficultly by saying that they are ‘spiritual’.  So, basically to the human being in the common mindset… celestial beings are very alien to us.  They are so unearthly and have such unfamiliar forms, that… to see one physically… as one would see another human… it can strike fear into an individual.  Nevertheless… no one should fear a mere creature.\n\nIt is hard to describe unearthly things in language that can be well understood.  Basically… seeing a fallen angel ‘can’ be just like seeing George W Bush.  You can see Bush, hear him, or even touch him… because he is actually real.  Actually seeing a fallen angel is not something in the mind.  Just as Bush is real… so are fallen angels.\n\nFallen angels can be:  seen, heard (as you would hear another human being), smelt, touched, and sensed.\n\nThe below information is copied from a website:  (it is a description of Satan in one of his two forms… being a spirit he shifts).\n_____________________________________________\nILLUSTRATION OR ANALYSIS OF FORM\nDESIGNED TO CLARIFY MISUNDERSTANDINGS\n\nDifferences from the human form\n\nHeylel’s form includes different textures that are of fallen angelic nature, wings \nthat withdraw or retract into his back, a tail with spade tip, another joint (extra part \nto the leg) from the shin, then ankles and cloven hooves.  Although, commonly \ndepicted as having claws or horns, he has neither in his humanoid form.  Heylel \nalso has a nictitating membrane (that can move across the eye) as a lizard or a cat.\n\nHeight and Weight\n\nIn Heylel’s humanoid form, his height is 5’6”.  The angelic being’s standard \nweight changes because they are spirit beings.\n\nSkin, leather and fur colorization, etc\n\nHeylel’s skin colorization is a shiny, light white.  The creature’s fur fades from \nblond – to a dark (copper/reddish) brown – being variegated in a usually unkempt \nmatter.  Heylel’s fur tends to shed as flying dust, no doubt showing that he is \ncursed.  Hair or fur in this type of condition indicates an unhealthy state.  He has \nfur from his waist down, in length, much like a long-haired cat.  Heylel’s wings \nand his tail have a leather-like skin, not scales, the leather shades from red to a \ndarker red.  The bones of his wings are covered in a black leather skin.  The \ncreature’s cloven hooves are much like the natural colorization of a cow’s hoof.\n\nFacial features\n\nHeylel has blond spiky hair.  He has a beard (the imperial beard), and very light \nblue eyes – that seem to reflect.  The creature has a wound (or scar) on the top-\nright side of his head.  At times, the wound has a yellowish substance that exudes \nand becomes incrusted on his head.  When yellowish the creature smells rotten.  \nHe also has a scar above the right eye.\n\nWings\n\nHeylel’s wings look strange.  They appear to be, as if they were bat wings.  \nHowever, the creature most likely had feathered wings in the beginning.   They are \nmade of a hallowed bone structure with a thin layer of tightly stretched leather-like \nskin other the bones.  You could see shades of light though the stretched skin.\n\nOther features\n\nHeylel has a tumor on the outer side of his right shin.\n_____________________________________________\n(Article ends he


i wanted points so i thought this is the ezest way to rack em up


If time travel was possible only within the time period that the traveler has lived, and when the travel time reached his departure time he returned automatically to his normal time, would his normal time nullify his travel time? Assuming time stayed constant in both the "real time" and the "travel time",  could this idea solve the grandfather paradox?

Science fiction has explored this in tremendous detail, and has come up with no solid answer.  I'm not going to, either, but let me see if I can share a little bit of thought to help you find an answer you're comfortable with...\n\nEnvision the existence of a human being as a path that the human moves along, moving only in one direction: always closer to the end of the path, and further from its start.  So far, so good?  (Mathematically, it would be a 3-dimensional curve in a higher dimensional space; (string theory wants it to be 10 or 11 dimensions, I hear) your perception of time would be caused by your traversing that curve.)\n\nNOW: Time travel says that there is a way of bending this path around so that, although you're still moving closer and closer to the end of the path, the path itself loops around behind itself.  Think of a rope that's laid on the floor in a zigzag or a loop.\n\nFirst: the person who is me in, say, 2020, and comes back to visit me in 2006 is not identical to the 2006 me: that person is further down the path...  I might not even recognize the future me as me...\n\nSecond: I suspect that what happens depends whether the path zigzags without crossing itself, or actually crosses itself, forming a loop.  What the loop would do is pure guesswork...  It might separate off (See: "The Lincoln Hunters"); it might do nothing (See: "The End of Eternity") or it might cause an incredible release of energy, possibly destroying the individual altogether, and maybe lots of other things, as well.  (See: "The Weapons Shops of Isher")\n\nUntil we develop the ability to travel backward in time, we just don't know; all we can do is guess, guess, guess.\n\nWhich is fun--and the source of a lot of good fiction I've read!


Could I be allergic to the fiberglass in my windshield?\nHow do I get my insurance to cover loss of use of car?\nIsn't this a damaging health hazard to me?\nI had the car's heating cooling system washed and blown out\n  what else could I do?  I want to keep my car if at all possible\n Could it be considered totaled?

are you sure its fiberglass? I dont think they use that for windshields, in which case it might be something else that you are experiencing allergic reactions to. Go see a doctor if you are having allergic reactions, or describe your symptoms on here a bit better so maybe a doctor can help you on here.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windshield


Who would win in a knock-down brawl bewteen these two?

In a physical fight I would think Ann Coulter,  both are shrews thou so I would hope they would both hurt each other and rip out the others tounge so I never have to listen to either on TV again.


Girls, (and guys) what is the one thing that really makes even the most best looking person otherwise seem unattractive. I mean purely in the physical sense, so don’t say stuff like, “attitude, personality etc…” \n\nFor example, me personally, I find it a total turn off is a girl has like a skirt on, but really ashy legs, or dirty fingernails. I don’t know why - it just irks me! So what about you?

Dirty fingernails, bad breath, bad grammar, greasy hair,body odor, excessive body hair


I have read about these but i always seem to confuse the 2 together, and why is that we need to know these terms, when do we actually use them, i never see them in newspapers or on the news, so what's their use??

de jure law would mean something is an actual law.  de facto means it is the way stuff works "in fact" but there is no formal law.  This is analagous to the difference between in theory and in practice.\n\nExample:\nde jure: Racial segregation cannot exist\nde facto: Racial segregation exists.

I have initially installed Windows and then Linux. How do i remove Linux?

That depends on how the dual boot was setup.  If the two OS are on the same harddrive, you will need to delete the partition where Linux is located.  If it's on another harddrive, then just format that harddrive.  Both of this can be done under Windows by going to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.  Then format the partition/drive where Linux is located.\n\nNext thing you would have to remove the dual boot LOADER.  This depends on what kind of loader you're using.  Please provide more detail.

What what files will i need?\nWhere can I obtain an sdk if theres any?\nWhere can i get the API needed?\nBe precise , i've already been on opengl website but i don't know what to look for.

Please try this website, I too am in the process of learning this langauge.\n\nAs for how to start off, basically use any good C++ IDE, try the second link that shows you how to begin in OpenGl, also he has a section for Mac Users as well. Most of what you ask for can be found with some searching tutorials. And buy a decent book.\n\n\n\nI hope that helps\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah


Is pursuit of a Habeas Corpus worthwhile?

In English common law habeas corpus is the name of several writs which may be issued by a judge ordering a prisoner to be brought before the court. More commonly, the name refers to a specific writ known in full as habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, a prerogative writ ordering that a prisoner be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not he is being imprisoned lawfully.\n\nThe words habeas corpus ad subjiciendum are Latin for "(That) you may have/hold the body to be subjected to (examination)", and are taken from the opening words of the writ in medieval times. Other habeas corpus writs also existed, for example habeas corpus ad testificandum ("[That] you may have/hold the body to bear witness"), for the production of a prisoner to give evidence in court.\n\nThis procedure, part of English common law, was considered important enough to be specifically mentioned in the United States Constitution, which says, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." (Article One, section nine).\n\nIn the USA, the writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum is a civil (as opposed to a criminal) proceeding in which the court inquires as to the legitimacy of a prisoner's custody. Typically, habeas corpus proceedings investigate whether a criminal trial was conducted fairly and constitutionally after the criminal appellate process has been exhausted. Habeas corpus is also used as a legal avenue to challenge other types of custody such as pretrial detention or detention by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement pursuant to a deportation proceeding.


She's an exceptional skater and has such great talent, it would be wonderful for her to win the olympic gold.

i bet she can but i don't think it's fair that she is their. i think Alissa Chisney should be their since she came in third at the US championship.\n\nNow i want Sasha Cohen to win even though it would be nice to see Kwan Retire happy with an Olympic Gold around her neck.


thanks always for ur nices answers realy appricated dear all

There are seven commonly accepted wonders of the ancient world; however, there are many more wonders throughout the history of the entire world.  The total number isn't agreed upon by scholars (and probably never will be), but there are many who claim certain structures as wonders of their specific time periods, including the Great Wall, Taj Majal, Hagia Sophia, and Eiffel Tower.  Some also consider certain natural structures to be wonders as well, i.e. Ayers Rock, Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, and Carlsbad Caverns.


In the modern days, I notice there is a big problem and I can't decide a solution, for government that control its population by all kind of means of military, terror, torture, punishments and then try always to preach spiritual oriented ideas for children adults and all, and block all the possible ways of other ideas, such as blocking internet, blocking media and owning or observing local media strictly and terror any reformers.\nSuch state could present a threat not only for its population but for others, by sending missionaries, or media directed to other countries.... My example that I think of now, are both Saudi arabia and Iran.  Saudi Arabia has very good relations with the west, sending missionaries who may convert some ppl and be with Saudi politically and religiously, while Saudi block all other media and prohibt other religions.  How intl communtity has to deal what that state in your opinion? and what should invdviduals should do on their part?

I think the international community should impose high tariffs or boycotts of exports coming from a brainwashing controlled government.  The U.S. response to its 'addicition to oil' by searching for alternate fuels will be very interesting to see as it develops since it addresses three problems: compromising American values for a much needed commodity, a solution to the dwindling supply of oil, and maybe most important, reducing cash flow to hostile governments.  \n\nThis method of reducing the cash flow to a brainwashing government may not change a government outright, but it will make clear to the government and its people that their practice of controlling its citizens is viewed as wrong and violates some established human rights.  This can strengthen some internal attempts at coups against the brainwashing government, but may not be a very strong approach to the problem.\n\nThe most extreme way to do so may be a regime change as seen in Iraq.  Whether or not that is the best way cannot be determined just yet.  Only history will tell.\n\nAs far as what individuals under a brainwashing government can do, they can spark a social movement with literature.  Something that displays the acts of the government that are condemnable.  Controversial literature always seems to be unstoppable.  It may take a long time for the idea to catch on, since it will undoubltedly be secretly read and talked about, or it may spread like wild fire, depending on how effective it is at displaying a better way of life a citizen may attain.  But, over time it should change the thinking that has allowed the government to operate the way it has in the first place.  A poor economic condition of a country, made in part if the international community imposes tariffs or boycotts, may in fact fuel the citizen's dissatisfaction with the government, and possibly make them more open to different ideas of how their government should run.


I like this guy and we werer friends and one day he held my hand when we were sitting somewhere and we were really flirty and stufff then i found out just a few dys ago he asked this other girl out. i really still like this guy cuz the flirtin had been goign on 4 a while!!!! should i get over him and confront or see if it might work if him and his gf break up!!! dont know wat to do

Bush is more worried about other countries in my opinion than cleaning up his own.Look at the 9th district in New orleans it hasn't been touched.

Bush is just a fag who likes to bomb other countries and take over them. He likes to accuse people of having weapons of mass descruction, and only helped Florida in their time of need because his brother runs the state... :P\n\nAnd plus, the cost of the war in Iraq is running us about 244 billion dollars, and is increasing about 1,000 dollars every SECOND! Do you think you would be able to afford to help some people in tragedy if you were wasting all your money shooting people?!\n\nI dunno. Maybe Bush isn't doing anything because he got mad at the traffic during Marti Gras. Hey, you never know...


even tho we arent buying anything i still want to make it special but i dont know how.  we have only been going out for a couple weeks but i already love him so much so i dont mind going too far but i need ideas im out!!

You can still give him a gift. Something you can't buy. Something that you have made just for him - a painting or something like that :)


I use net meter to track bandwidth usage, i know about what is being dowloaded but there are values which displays uploads of around 80 mb / month. I want to know what is this upload. (dont include thing which i upload manually like some files etc), is it some software which is uploading my pc data or is it normal?


I liked some of his answers(not all).  He seems to have disappeared. What happened?

Hello little sister Bridget97.. :)\n\nI was just praying about that just now..myself..\n\nWe must lift him up in prayer..Amen!\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..your sister In Christ..


I wanted to know if there had been any documented cases in children with night terrors around the age of 18 months. If so, what were the distinguishing symptoms of night terrors versus bad dreams in general.

"Night terrors are distinct from nightmares in several key ways. First, the person is not fully awake when roused, and even when efforts are made to awaken the sleeper, they may continue to experience the night terror for over 10 or 20 minutes. Unlike nightmares, night terrors occur during the deepest levels of non-REM sleep. Furthermore even if awakened the subject can often not remember the episode except for a sense of panic, while nightmares are easily recalled.\n\n"Children from age four to six are most prone to night terrors, and they affect about three percent of all youngsters (although people of any age may experience them). Episodes may recur for a couple of weeks then suddenly disappear. They usually occur during the first couple of hours of sleep. Strong evidence has shown that a predisposition to night terrors can be passed genetically. Though there are a multitude of triggers, emotional stress during the previous day is thought to precipitate most episodes. Ensuring that the right amount of sleep is gained also seems to be important.\n\n"While each night terror is usually different, all episodes of the same person will generally have similar traits. One seemingly universal quality of night terrors is a strong sense of danger - there is always a being, tangible or otherwise, who wishes to hurt the sleeping person. Many sufferers of night terrors are loathe to speak of them because of their violent, graphic, and sometimes disturbing nature."\n\nIf I were you, I'd take your kid in to see a doctor.  They will *hopefully* be able to tell you more.


its probably either you have a old computer or you need to download java or flash software they are both free


Although they are both deceased and missed by those that enjoyed their lyrical talent, I really would like to know by the public's opinion who was the best lyrically

I'd say "Pac" was the best (although I am not really into "Rap"),but my kids (ages 29,23,and 22) have always bought Pac's music. I did like Biggies: (I love it when you call me "Big Papa"). Biggie sounds like he's chewing his tongue when he raps! (smile!)


he was asked on live tv what his thoughts were ans he stated when he seen the first plane hit and that can be seen on the power hour of 9/11 and alot more questions that need answers too please all check it out then reply thanks

Sell the lead. Buy Gold...\nProbably for each dozen pounds of Lead you can just buy a gram of pound... but I think is the only way to turn one into another...


for example what do boxers doctors look for in a boxer. like his medical history

Well, the boxer has to be able to pass a regular physical. After a knockout the fighter isn't allowed back in the ring for x amount of days. They're not even allowed to spar for a portion of that time. If the fighter has been knocked out an excessive number of times, the boxing commission who grants the licenses may refuse one to that fighter. Sometimes fighters are subject to CAT scans or other extensive testing.\n\nThe regulations vary state by state, though. So if a fighter is banned from boxing in one state, he'll still be able to go to another state and get away with it. That's why there was such encouragement to get a federal regulatory commission started recently. Unfortunately, that fell through due to politics. Sometimes boxers can still go fight in another country, too, even if no one in the states will let them.


"Thank you for being there. Your a great person and an even better friend. You NEED to call me up sometimes, so we can hang out. P.S. Smile for Me! Love Mike"\n Frist of all i dont get the beginning "Thank you for being there" for being where...we hardly talk or see eachother n when we do see eachother...there's a hi and a hug. That's about it. \n Secondly, how do you find out if someone likes you? What are the signs? Is flirting enough?

Girls dissect things too much.  Most guys think for about 1/2 seconds before they write something down.  He likes you.  We NEED to hang out some times means I wish I hung out with you more because I like you.  Guys do think before they put the word LOVE in their salutation so that means he likes you.  FORGET ALL THAT OTHER STUFF!  The guy likes you it was probably hard for him to write that note as guys brains are small.\n\nIf a guy hangs out with you one on one he likes you romantically.  This is always true, and is never not true, except for gay guys.  You may only like him as a friend but he likes you.  We guys don't hang out one on one with girls who we don't have some kind of crush on (unless we're gay.)  Hope that's helpful, and you need to stop reading so much into everything, it will make you crazy!


okay whats the deal with the yay are you an idiot?

I am currently doing a project regrding this. So i would like to ask ur help on this topic.

Yes.  Haven't you noticed there are less flies in winter?  Mosquitoes lava needs water to develop so you get tons of mozzies after a good rain.  Bettles live in the ground until summer brings them up to the surface.  Its all about the seasons, insect life cycles and food availability.\n\nGood luck with you assignment.


Sometimes a bully  bullys me and I feel awful.

You should report this person and make sure they're expelled...make a stand and show that you're not afraid...but try not to get into a fight if you can help it


I did, I laughed my a$$ off and yelled even louder when kavanaugh had his little breakdown.\n\nIf this is the last season of The Shield, do you think Mackey and The Strike Team will go down in flames?

Yeah, I'm still chuckling about the serious burn on IA this morning.\n\nI don't think it's the last season (and I certainly hope not), but there has to be some price to be paid by the Strike Team for killing Terry.  Having any of them get pinched for it would kind of ruin the flavor of the show.  I get the feeling Mackey's going to do something to get all the blame heaped on himself, then probably get killed in the line of duty.


1) It's a lake in Southern Siberia, Russia, between Irkutsk Oblast on the northwest and Buryatia on the southeast, near Irkutsk. It is also known as the Blue Eye of Siberia.\n\n2)At 636 km/395 miles long and 80 km/50 miles wide, Baikal has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake in Asia (31,494 km²/12,165 miles²) and is the deepest lake in the world (1637m/5369 ft—previously measured to 1620m/5314 ft).\n\n3)Its age is estimated at 25-30 million years, making it one of the most ancient lakes in geological history. It's a World Heritage Site.


I have seen the use of SSL on corporate web sites. However, I also wish to use this technology to protect my site from unauthorized users. Does anyone know the coding for a simple SSL security encoding? Thank you.

Hi!\nAs far as I know... SSL stuff are made by SERVER and BROWSER. So, you don't actually have to code anything.\nmake sure that the server that hosts your website permits you to use SSL. If you have your own server (Apache) you can configure it to accept SSL connections. \nA SSL connection is someting like HTTPS://blabla, not HTTP://blabla\n\nI must worn you that SSL is a little slow. So use SSL only\nfor FORMS that contain important informations such as passwords, credit card numbers, and so on.\n\nHTML EXAMPLE OF A FORM THAT SUBMITS OVER SSL CONNECTION:\n\n<form name="MyForm" action="HTTPS://mysite.myform" method="POST">\nPassword:\n<input type="password" name="pass">\n<input type="submit" value="Login">\n</form>\n\nGood luck!\n\n\n______________\nPlease excuse my bad english.


You cant know that without their password... although u can ask them and trust them that they'll tell the truth...


they dont have a job, no money, cannot clothes themselves or feed themselves. What is the reason?? is selfishness, stupidity? what? And the poor children are the victim. USA.

Stupidity, laziness, greed.  They would rather live off of the state than go to work.  Many girls get pregnant out of stupidity and laziness.  They don't take their pills correctly, adn they can't be bothered to use condoms.  There are things to give them a hand UP but they would rather have the hand OUT.


I've had several experiences where men have approached me and befriended me. The thing is, every one of these men has disappeared after a few months because I won't sleep with them. Can anyone explain this to me? I won't sleep with these men because I'm married.

It sounds like maybe you're not being completely up front with them from the beginning about the 'being married' part. Maybe they're getting some kind of vibe from you that you're looking for someone to have an affair with. Are you going out of your way to get men friends? If so, why when you're married?


OR wear make-up or pants. thanks in advance for answers.\nbesides....  wearing pants covers more of the legs than a dress or skirt.

I used to be Pentecostal and I followed all of those rules for years. But When I started reading and studying the Bible, I never could find and answer to those questions. In fact I still have yet to find an answer. As it is I shave my legs, cut my hair, and wear pants, make-up and jewelry, and I am closer to God than ever. I honestly don't think he cares, but if anyone can prove me wrong, I'd like to know.
