Can the US ever make a cricket team of their own? Or are they better off playing baseball?

Ofcourse they can>I believe they had even tried recently but they did not have any good players and their performance was pathetic to sya the least.They will have to promote Cricket,develop good players and then form a Cricket Team which is atleast somewhat of International Calibre.


See, if you ever read "the cat in the hat", you know that Sam-I-Am got the guy to like green eggs and ham... and he would eat it anywhere, but no one told the rest of the story. after he got of of the box with the fox and the green eggs and ham in one hand, he went and ate the ham and choaked on the little bone that's in the middle. i have heard this story from my grandfather. he seemed very angry because he hated reading and i wanted him to read it. ... it made me sad. so i was wondering if anyone else heard the same story.

Sam-I-Am wasn't in "The Cat in the Hat."  He was from "Green Eggs and Ham."  There is nothing about choking and dying in the book.


before the CSI's and Law and orders and all the other crime and mystery shows they werent really popular so why did they all of a sudden comeback in the late 90's. they were this popular before in the 70's why do we love them so much now? does it at all relate to what is going on in the world today?

As the old saying goes "what comes around goes around." There are only so many ideas that people can come up with before they are considered ridiculous. Once the new ideas run out, they have to rehash the old ones and make them new again. Notice that in the 80's and up to the mid 90's sitcoms were the most popular? As they were in the 50's and 60's. Then in the late 60's the television cop made an appearance. Followed by another and another.... It's just gone full circle. I looooove CSI, don't you?


your destiny , your sole purpose in live was something small like helping someone get a certain job and after you did , that is it the rest of your live is meaningless

In that case, make your own destiny. Destiny is not inscribed in tablets of stone, nor is it written in the stars, your destiny is in your own hands.


hi can any1 tell me what side affects there are with using \n\nLA MUSCLE EXPLOSIVE CREATINE       AND\nLA MUSCLE ZMAX                     AND\nVASCULATOR

LA MUSCLE EXPLOSIVE CREATINE -Two side effects of creatine loading are weight gain and "cell volumizing." Both these effects occur because creatine associates with water as it is stored in the muscles. Over the six-day loading phase, more and more creatine is stored and an increasing amount of water is drawn into the muscle cell-this gives muscles a fuller, "pumped" feel and look, just what bodybuilders and fitness buffs want. This loading process, therefore, results in a water weight gain of several pounds (or more) in most individuals. This is a good thing for athletes in sports where increased weight and speed (inertia) can be used to your advantage (e.g. football, swinging a bat, or swinging your fist). However, in a sport that requires a high strength-to-weight ratio, it can have a negative impact on performance. \nLA MUSCLE ZMAX -No side effects reported\nVASCULATOR- Does this have Androstenedione in it?? If so, the side effects are: acne, enlarged prostate and baldness. These side effects can be a matter of "routine"! Androstenedione is banned by the International Olympics Committee (IOC). To quote the respected Dr Michael Colgan: "users of Androstenedione beware... it could easily set you up for prostate disease".


Each row contains scores from 10 league events. I want to average each persons five highest scores. Can a single formula be created to do this as opposed to having to first sort each row and then using the Avg formula on the cells containing the 5 highest scores?

You can use the =MAX and =LARGE functions to identify the five highest scores without resorting each time.  (This will add five rows to your spreadsheet (one for the highest, another for the second highest, etc.) but you can then hide these rows if they are cluttering up the spreadsheet.)  Then total these amounts and divide by 5.


Are they as sensitive as unpierced? Anyone with experience want to share your story, good or bad?

I have a good friend who got her nipples piereced, at her husband's request. They get infected a lot, and she wishes she had not done it. She is 35, and he is 65.


She is getting married. In a couple of weeks, she will\nbe another's wife. What a strange thought. For six\nyears, I thought she was mine. I could not imagine\nanother being closer to her than I was. \n\nWe were 'an item,' a couple. Friends addressed\ngreetings to us jointly. When somebody invited me to\nan engagement or a wedding, they felt obliged to add,\n'Why don't you get her along as well?' \n\nPeople I didn't know too well would ask, 'When are you\ngetting married?' and the 'you' was plural -- it\nreferred to both of us. Now if I meet them, I would\nhave to say, 'She is married,' and there would be an\nembarrassed silence. It's like a divorce even though\nno marriage had ever taken place. \n\nI rehearse explanations: 'It didn't work out.' 'Her\nparents were opposed to it.' 'Our horoscopes didn't\nmatch.' 'We decided to break up.' 'We are no longer\ntogether.' I practise attitudes: Flippant and\nunaffected. Dry and detached. Bemused but resigned.\nBut, frankly, if I met myself, I

I know that it will be hard to start over again after spending six years with a person who you think is a soulmate, and having things backfire on you. Regardless of how old a person is when this happens, it hurts deeply.I don't know if you are religious at all, but I believe that the Lord will make all things turn out ok, regardless of how dark you view your  situation to be. I live in New Orleans, and during Hurricane Katrina, when I evacuated to a shelter, I see people on the verge of cracking up, because they have no faith, nothing to fall back on. As concerned as I was about what lies ahead, because of my faith in God, I was at peace with the situation and can continue to function normally.There is light at the end of the tunnel for you, if you would just be patient and have a little faith. Time heals all wounds.You will be able to love again, and you will find that special someone who can make you life complete. My prayers and best wishes are with you.


iam not asking about whitning toothpast from the supermarket.\n\nand does it have side effects

I myself have used whiteners and other over the counter agents to defeat plaque and I have to say they only work for a short period of time.  Be sure you follow your other recommended uses of taking care of your teeth.  To understand its benefits and pitfalls, talk to the pharmacy or your dentist.

If your life could be a movie.... What movie would you chose, why and what character would you be?

I would love to be Guinevere in Camelot. I love the music, the era, the love triangle. I think it would be great to live in a castle, wear very feminine clothes, be married to a king, be loved by a knight, and be able to sing with a full orchestra to boot!


HI I'am 13 and I was wondering am I too young to ask a girl out. There is a girl in school who I want to ask out but I was thinking am I to young?

At 13 years old...i also dated a boy at school.\nWe held hands, kissed and hung out together during recess.\nI forged a lot of good friendships at that age...and had a lot of boys that were simply "friends" too.\n\nProviding your motives are honourable, (and at your age...they had better be!), then i say go ahead!\nGoing to the movies,holding hands walking in the park and generally hanging out together with someone you like, admire or love at any age...is about the most blissful thing that you can ever do!!  \n\nIf you like her...and she likes you, i say go for it, and enjoy those uncomplicated years while you can!!


ok im seeing 2 guys at the same time. They both know about each other. On i can really have decent convo with and a laff but the other is just sex (but really good sex). Dunno what to do im so confused please help me

Take it from an older guy, the conversation lasts a lot longer than the sex does......so, go with the guy you can talk to and laugh with. Then, what you do is teach him to be the kind of lover you want and need. Be patient with him, and instruct him in what you like, and how to make it feel good for you. That way, you have the best of both worlds.....great conversation, and great sex! Good Luck!

My neighbors wll not take care of there dog it dose not stop barking wile it,s out side do I have any rights to enjoy my house and my back yard is there something in civil law that can help me   I have asked them several times to take care of their dog there are no laws for barking dogs in my area except befor 7:00 @ after 10:00

I turned in my two weeks notice but I need to leave the country a day before the two weeks notice expires.. Would it affect my last paycheck if I don't show up?

As long as you talk to your boss beforehand, it's not a big deal since you have a decent excuse.  Your paycheck on that last day won't be affected because usually paychecks are for the previous 2 weeks.  Your final paycheck will be missing that last day since you didn't show up unless you can argue that it was a vacation day or whatever.\n\nIf you just leave, you might not get a good reference from your former company.   You might also want to rearrange your exit interview for your final day that you will be there so that you leave on relatively good terms.


You have 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit, and a balance pan scale.  The fake coin may be identified by the fact that it's weight is different from the 11 genuine coins.   Can you identify the counterfeit coin and whether it is heavier or lighter  in three weighings?

Yes, you place a pile of 6 coins on either side of the scales, which ever set of six is lighter you split into 2 sets of 3 coins and do the same, then with the lightest set of 3 coins, you weigh 2 of them, if they weigh the same, the coin you didn't weigh is the counterfeit.  Or which ever of the 2 coins was the lightest.


i know its probably not the right name but it was played between 1999 and 2001 if anyone remembers it. if it helps it was a rap song.

if your a guy and just turn 18 and have sex with your girlfriend who is 17 or only 2 months younger than you can you go to jail, Or would nobody care.

Ok. I like this awesome musician at my school. I'm 13 and he is either 13 or 14. I don't know him very well, but I decided that I would leave a messege in his yearbook about wanting to hang out and maybe even that I like him, but everyone who signs his yearbook will see it so that scares me a bit. Should I do that? If so what should I write? Thanx!

How about you just ask him out to coffee or a movie?

My 4 yr old daughter has an ugly wart on her wrist. I've taken her to the doctor and they froze it like 5 times and it won't go away. I've tried the over the counter wart treatments and duct tape as well. It's still there. Will the doctor have to cut it off?? Has anyone gotten their wart cut off??

I have had one removed with lazers. They numb up the area first then they cut it out with lazers. My wound bled badly and the wart is comming back. Just so you know a wart is a defect in the immune system thats what causes them. Your daughter might have them for the rest of her life. But she is young so her immune systme might take care of the problem eventually. I wouldn't recomed the sugery unless the wart is very large and noticable it is very painful about a day after the sugery. Hope this helps you make a decision.


because my friend had a surgery in breast for fibro adenomos cyst before three years.she is still having the fibro adenomos cyst in breast.she is  in afraid of getting breast\ncancer. please answer to this seriously.

Fibroadenomas are benign tumors in the breast. Benign meaning that they are not cancerous. Some women are plagued with them, having recurrent problems, but they still are benign. However, you can not treat any lump as if it is benign until you confirm it. So, with each new lump, she MUST get it checked. Because she has this problem, it may mask or hide something more serious, like cancer , if she does not stay on top of it. It might help if you go with her to the doctor, for support. That way, she will keep going and stay in good health.


Hi!  What are some of the best resources and research tools for stocks that are free?  Or cheap?  I just started investing... so far I use Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance, the Journal, and thats about it...  a site that tells you when companies are gonna file their stuff, be able to screen them, etc...

Hoovers.com is really nice, but they have a lot of stuff that you need a subscription for...also look at Value Line and Morningstar, two big names. If you want anything for free, i agree, Yahoo Finance is good (thats what i use, all a**kissing aside), CNNmoney.com and Investors Business Daily are also good starts

Don't know the type of cancer, already started treatment.

If the cancer has metastasized and is truly stage 4, then ultimate long term recovery chances are very small. However there are always exceptions to every rule. Some types of previously incurable lymphomas are now curable with stem cell or bone marrow transplants, so at least some stage 4 cancers are now sometimes curable. Brain, lung, breast, cervical or ovarian cancer are not curable after reaching stage 4 unless there is a miracle (spontaneous regression). Another thing to remember is that staging is often not as precise as Drs would have you believe, so one Dr's stage 4 is another Dr's stage 2 or 3.  good luck to your relative


Undefined, again the common mistake is to treat infinity as a number.  Infinity does not play with the same rules as numbers.


The equipment I have at home is, a swiss ball 55cms, Bosu ball, 2 resistant bands (different strengths), different weights of dumbbells & Pilates tension ring.

a great back exercise you can do with the swiss ball is to lie on top of it so that your waist is the part touching the ball.  have someone hold your legs so that your whole body is horizontal on the ball.  then put your hands behind your head and lower your torso down, and then bring it up as high as you can...and repeat.  this is a killer...might take some time to work up to it.

i see some people who type a hole book in 1 ansure but what is the use it takes so much time and stuff

This is a very good question.  I believe there are probably a lot of different reasons why some people give long answers.  I don't think you can sum it up in just one answer.  Sometimes people may give a long answer because it takes one to adequately sum up their thoughts on the subject.  Other times maybe they give a long answer because they are thinking of it as they are typing and they are not sure where they are going until they get there.  Another reason for long answers may be that the person lacks certain writing skills like editing, or perhaps they give a long answer because they have great writing skills and want to show them off.  I suppose there could be any number of other reasons for long answers like they just want to annoy people who like short answers, or they are attempting to show off.  Maybe they are trying to convince you that their answer is right and they think a long argument will be to their advantage  I don't really mind long answers if they are relevant and well written.  I do not like long answers when they have obviously just been copied from some other source, cut and pasted into the answer box.  Whether an answer is long or short I want it to be the writer's own original ideas and writing.  To me the fact that it is orinal is far more important than the length.  I hope this answer has helped you understand some of the reasons for long answers.  I could probably come up with more reasons, but I don't want my answer to get TOO long, and I doubt if you read all the way to here anyway.


I'm in a club called W.A.N.D. (Wiccan and Neo-Pagan Discovery) at my school which we are only allowed to mediate as a form to do anything "religious", yet another club called S.H.O.C. (Students Holding Onto Christ) are allowed to pray on school grounds. Is this against the rules of public schools? What should I do?

If I were you I'd look into the Equal Access Act.  In this act, school groups that are religious in nature and/or political in nature, can meet on school grounds AFTER school hours so long as there are non-curriculum groups (such as a chess club) that are also allowed to meet.\n\nThe rules for this are that you are in a public school, that there are non-curriculum related school groups (such as the chess club) and that you (as a religious group) do NOT have a faculty adviser.  Because of the separation of church and state, the school cannot provide you with materials or a teacher, but it MUST provide you (as a child of taxpayers) a place to meet if other groups are allowed to do so.\n\nSo, the simple rule is this: if you are in a public school, you can meet, but you must follow the rules of all other student groups.  You are different from other school groups because of your religious affiliation, however, and the school cannot provide you with an adviser (they can require that one be present (just to make sure there are no other school rules broken since you are still minors), but he or she cannot have anything to do with the group or how it is run.  You probably cannot be photographed in the yearbook, and probably cannot have all of the frills of a regular school group, but you should have access to the school facilities to meet.\n\nThis is what I would suggest you do: make friends with the Christian group in that you should NOT try to get them to disband if the school messes with you.  You are both in the same boat (or should be) and what rules apply to you should apply to them since you are both outside groups meeting on school property after school.  Look into the Equal Access Act and calmly ask for a meeting with the principal to go through it.  Explain that you want to figure out how you can best follow the rules of the school and also follow the rules of the Equal Access Act.  \n\nFor the most part, journalism teachers and advisers are great assistants when it comes to students' rights issues, so if you need help understanding the Act, talk to your yearbook or newspaper adviser or a Social Studies teacher.  Make sure if you ask a faculty member for help you establish that you are NOT asking for them to be your adviser, but you do need some help interpreting an Act.\n\nIn the end, most principals want to do the right thing and be fair to all groups (and follow the law), but they often have trouble with community pressure.  By being patient and non-threatening, you can help your school to understand what it MUST provide you whether or not it believes in what you believe.  The hardest part for you will likely be to establish that yes, you ARE a religious group, and therefore the Equal Access Act does apply to you.  This is because many people believe teens follow this type of religion as a way to get back at their parents.  But once you establish that you are a religious group, this should be easier.\n\nIF and only if being reasonable and calm and going through the act fails to convince your principal, contact the ACLU for a lawyer in your area.  Don't go directly to the lawyer as it's hard to work out a compromise if you bypass the principal (you want the principal to be your friend, not your enemy).


Does anyone use those type of rental services that mail DVD's you request?\nSomething like Netflix I think they call it in the USA.\nWe have Zip.ca, same type of service. \nIs it a worth while service compared to going to the video store all the time?

I use Netflix and it's way better than going to a rental store. It cost much less, it only takes one day for the movies to get here, you can keep them as long as you want with no late fees, and they provide postage paid envelopes to return them. I am very satisfied with Netflix and highly reccomend them.

Moderates from all groups sound a lot alike, but it is where, when and how they want to spend money for their aims that make a difference.  They also differ on how and who to collect it from.  \n\nOpen minded people with the ability to compromise are an endangered species.

With the Marines. Just stay next to the guy on your right and left. It is the job of a Marine to keep the guy to your right and the guy to your left alive at all costs. There is no more noble cause then to give your life for that of a friends. No one wants peace more then a solider, we train for war but, pray for peace. It is his decision "mom" support him in his choice even though you worry about him (what mom wouldn't) and tell him how proud you are of him and his choice.

A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs. \n\nThe key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.\n\nDan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:\n\n1. List 5 things you do best\n2. List how others would benefit from what you do best\n3. Find out how to give people what they want\n4.

Is the accepted theory of the Universe is that it is flat and endless? If not, describe the "new" universe conceptually.

Einsteins theory was that space turned back on itself, like a figure eight.


Well, it helps a lot if you are good at making things up quickly, and not hesitating at all as you speak.  If you have any verbal tics - saying "um" or "you know" can make your argument seem less credible to a judge.  Physically you need to know how to stand in order to appear somewhat intimidating.  Standing with your elbows outstretched, for example, makes you take up more space and therefore appear larger.\n\nOf course researching a topic backwards and forwards is going to be the best way to win a debate.  But if you can't do that, you need to stick to common sense when explaining your stance. Use humor when you can, and anecdotes from your everyday life to prove your point. Make everything you say short and very clear - nine times out of ten, the shorter a speech is, the better people listening to it will think it is.\n\nI don't know whether you're interested in tips for fighting dirty when it comes to debating, but one method that is sure to freak out your opponent and make you seem smarter is to question them on their thought processes.  Saying, "I don't think that you understand what you are talking about.  Here, let me explain the way things really are." is a bit of a low blow, but it usually works.  Unless your opponent is a lot smarter than you are, anyway.\n\nGood luck and stuff.


I'm trying to take some classes on FLVS but i still dont know how to actually learn from it. My guidence counseler already approved me taknig them snd stuff.

I'm assuming you mean Florida Virtual School ( FLVS). They give you assignments by e-mail and/or online and you study and take assesments and tests online and  e-mail assignments in to the teacher. Some of the lessons are interactive with little video presentations etc. (You do need to be a little computer literate.) \nThe teacher gives you a pace chart and you need to keep up with it or they can drop you from the class.  The teachers are great and always availble if you need help.  If you need time off for vacation - ask permission and they generally oblige.  \nIt's a classroom but online with the computer as a teacher. You do need to be very focused and not be distracted into surfing the web! You recieve progress reports and grades just like in school. The good thing about it is that you can go to school in your jammies.

Little Johny was in a churck with his mother.. Suddenly he starts yelling that he needs to pee..Irritated, his mother tells him not to say pee again, and say whistle when he wants to go. Having learned the lesson, little Johny goes visiting his grandpa anb because he was sleeping in his bed, he wakes him up telling him that he wants to whistle. The grandpa, half sleeping tells him that he cannot whistle in the middle of the night, he might wake the neighbours. After repeating the same scene a few more times, the grandpa gets tired and tells Johny: OK, you may whistle but slowly, in my ear...

haha! that really made me crack up. i feel sorry for the grandpa... that was so funny! so did Johny really pee in his grandpa's ear??? god, that was something i never really experience before. very humorous..hahaha


I know there is Ebay and Amazon...but is there another good website that I don't know about yet??

Try www.overstock.com.  They have lots of designer shoes, bags, and clothing for really cheap.  I love it!


I was seeing this guy last summer and we clicked really well and we fell in love with each other. Well We split because his divorce was not all the way final after two years being seperated and the custody issue with the kids was on his mind and the bottom line is that he ws totally focusing on his kids and trying to get in another house. Well 9 months later (yes we did have some contact) he wants to get back together and move slow at first. He said he missed the times we had together and the memories. Well... can someone please define "move slow at first". He has been through a lot of drama and I'm scared that he is not ready yet... but I aked him that and he says he is ready. Hes invloving his kids back in to the picture and talking about going up north and everything else. I dont talk to him everyday.. but I just want some opinions. Thanks

slow means not marriage yet, so he can get a chance to focus on you as you are, hang on, he will, when he is caught up with his emotional roller coaster!

plz take him sum place exciting and tell him 2 change his attitude to life cuz i guess he's already losing out on the opportunity called life n i think he lacks any kind of excitement so introduce him to something new that makes him get engaged in it even if it's 4 a short while


I just graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Management and a minor in Marketing. I have 2 years of management-type experience. I have interviewed with at least 15 companies and none of them have worked out. I have posted my resume on Yahoo! HotJobs, Monster, and CareerBuilder. So far, the only respone I've gotten from those sites are constant calls from insurance companies. Anyone have any ideas?

If you've gotten 15 interviews, it sounds like your resume and experience are at least getting you in the door. I would then focus on your interview skills. There should be placement services in your area that may help you with that. Remember: Dress professionally, be on time, and -most importantly- never say anything negative about a previous employer no matter how bad they were. Interviews are all about selling yourself. The best salesperson with the most confidence wins.

1. What is the punishment for a man/boy who forcibly defiles a married women or a virgin? \n2. Is she put to death? What if her husband still wants her for his wife?

ok. sorry for that. \n\nsee, how bad this word is , and how bad experience it would be for woman...Islam gives woman equal rights and there is a high value for the modesty of woman.  and thats why rape is capital punishment in islam. and rapist must be put to death. because this is one of the heinous crimes besides murder etc. \n\nwoman is considered as innocent in this case. and if her husband still wants her for his wife, why not! \ni am not a scholar but this is very common knowledge for muslims. \n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS. \n\nplease check these websites\n\n\nhttp://www.jannah.org/genderequity/\nhttp://www.jamaat.org/islam/WomanMarriage.html\n\nhttp://www.islamtomorrow.com/women/\n\nvideo of "womans rights in islam - modernizing or outdated" >> http://www.aswatalislam.net/DisplayFilesP.aspx?TitleID=50027&TitleName=Zakir_Naik


I am a male (35) married for 6 years, and been together with my wife (29) for just over 10 years. I was a very late bloomer (21) which I think led to a rather selfish sex life, until about the last three years. Despite my rather selfish sexual ways my wife seemed to enjoy a normal sex life with me. (1-2 times/week) After having our first child, 5 years ago, her sex drive went down (1-2 times/month) After our second child, 3 years ago, her sex drive took a major dive, (3-4 times/year) I would like to know if this is a common occurance after having children?, or is this a problem that I've created by being selfish all those years?, or is this just a lull before she hits her sexual peak?.\n     If any of you ladies out there have experienced similar situations or could just shed a little extra light on the situation, I'd enjoy the extra points of view.\n      Thanks for your input.

It's a common occurance! It probably doesn't help that in the past you may not have given her the big O every time either (and even if you think you did you probably didn't).\nHowever, the main reason that a woman's sex drive often takes a dive after kids is that she is so dang tired and busy and has so many important things (esp the kids) on her mind.\n\nIf you want to kindle a spark in her, make sure that there is time for her to get adequate sleep for a few days, help around the house/etc (or even hire a maid service to come in one week to give her a break!), and most importantly, let her know that you love her and really appreciate all her hard work on being a mom (and if she works outside the home, etc include that, too).  \n\nGo out on a date, or just plan a romantic evening in. Maybe buy some massage oil, make sure your love-making techniques are out for her pleasure, and go for it!\n\nThe more she feels appreciated, and the more enjoyable sex is for her, the more likely she will be in the mood for it. A lot of guys have no clue what it's like being a mom, and mom's need a break from time to time to rest up to keep the libido going.


Can you make a case either way using facts and legitimate sources, rather than bashing and regurgitated opinions?

The most biased I have ever seen. Although all media is being guided by adveritsers the Fox has been doing things that a Jr. High school jornalism student would flunk out for doing.


I've neglect her alot in the pass year. Now after being a asshole for so long i've realize. As usual things went real real bad. So now i'm stuggling not to go in to divorce. She says she don't love me anymore (which i felt it too) but she says if i can make her feel fresh again (make her fall in love with me again) the marrige can be save. I'm lost... what should I do?

This may sound childish but you’ll never know unless you try. (ROLE PLAY) walk right up to her and introduce yourself, ask what her name is and if she’ll mind if you call her some time. Then do call and (TALK) & (LOSTEN) and ask if she’d like to go out some time this week you know a great place *Note: if you have kids make arrangements so that she can’t say NO and if she can’t go ask her out again (do the thing you as her husband knows she likes, it’s like dating allover again, but this time you have the cliff notes)   get creative, get romantic, don’t let your second chance blow by.

You, me, our parents have been (and being) looted for 60+ years by Indian Politicians by not Taxing rich politicians who either are either rich landlords or they disguide as a farmer. Can we wake up now?\n\nThe only reason is they can convert huge balck money amassed , by disguising this as agricultural income which is non-taxable in India. They buy barren land or farm houses to convert all this black money.\n\nWhy can't we tax this super rich people? \n\nMind you I am not talking about small and medium farmers. But why can't you tax person with more than Rs. 50 Lakhs (US$100000+) per annum?\n\nLet small and medium farmers stop commiting suicide as they will have good money in their hand in case more money comes to govt. of India\n\nI would like to raise this awareness, you all honest tax payers.\n\nYou can also join Yahoo! 360 (beta) and raise your voice.\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-etG7EdMnf783lQ7Z61tD

Main reason is our politicians Only.\n\nAs per the constitution, tax can be charged on Agricultural income by State Government. If this is to be changed, we need constitutional amendment which is not possible in the present political joint venture scenirio.\n\nState Government is also not willing to tax agricultural income as vested interest of the parties leaders.\n\nYou can see how they can unite irrespective of their political parties when there existance comes into question e.g. holding of a gain position.\n\nhere lies the answers to your question.

My nephews mother is very vindictive.  When they first split up, my brother got back with an ex gf so the mother of his child was jealous and only allowed him to see his son if he agreed to spend the whole day with them and without the new gf (whose now his wife and the mother of his other three children).  When he told her that his son needed to meet his step mother to be she got angry and made up lots of lies to put a restraining order on him.  He started to feel that it was easier for him to stay away because every time we would try to go pick him up she would call the police.  Now we are older and more mature and want to see him but we can't afford a legal battle and we don't want to hurt anyone else in the family if she decides to continue to call the police.  We need advice on legal assistance in the state of Texas.  PLEASE HELP US SEE OUR MISSING LINK!

All of a sudden the microsoft keyboard is locked except for some bottons on the top like forward, backward, etc. How do you unlock it?

if it commected by USB, unplug iot and then plug it back up, if it is ps2, then shut down computer, unplug it plug it back uo, and then restart. if it still does not work, probably a bad keyboard


I really like this guy.  But I have been trying to stay away from him because  I am afraid of getting hurt.  We used to talk on the phone fwo to three times a week-but I stopped that--Well, the other day I went to a place where he worked and we talked for about an hour and really enjoyed each other's company!  When I left, he said, "It's always good to see you."  Then He added.."see you next year!"  What-suggestions, thoughts.......what did he mean, imply........

I think it was a joke.  You said that you two don't talk as much as you used to, I think that he was just making light of the situation.  You shouldn't be discouraged from talking to him again.


Answer the questions based on the following info.\n\nThe funtions below are defined for all real values of x,y,z.\n\n(i)f(x,y,z)=maximum of(x,y,z)\n(ii)g(x,y,z)=x+y+z/3\n(iii)h(x,y,z)=Max(x,y,z)\n(iv)i(x,y,z)=Min(x,y,z)\n(v)j(x,y,z)=Min of(x^2,y^2,z^2)\n\nwhich of the following is/are true ?\n\nI. f(x,y,z)>g(x,y,z) if x,y,z>0\nII.h(x,y,z)>f(x,y,z) if 0<x<1  and y,z<0\nIII. [i(x,y,z)]^2=j(x,y,z)\nIV. If g(x,y,z)=0,then there can be a maximum of two numbers among x,y,z ...which are negative.\n\na. I and II\nb. II\nc. I and III\nd. IV\n\n\n\nQuestion: \n\nwhat is the value of x,y,z i should choose to test the above ? should i choose x=1,y=2,z=3 ?  or something else ?\n\nwhats the wise decision of choosing the valueof x,y,z to test the above ? becoz the result highly dependent upon x,y,z\n\nthanks

I. is not true because if we take x=y=z=1, we get\n   f(1,1,1)=1 > 2 and 2/3=g(1,1,1) which is a false  \n   statement.  \nII. IMHO it is also false because f and h are the same  \n    functions f: R^3 -> R, h(x,y,z)=f(x,y,z)=max(x,y,z)\nIII. |i(x,y,z)|^2=j(x,y,z) would be true (because of the  \n     absolute value) but the statement in III. is again \n     false because if you take eg. point (-1,0,0) you get\n     (i(x,y,z))^2=(min(-1,0,0))^2=-1^2=1 but\n     j(x,y,z)=min(x^2,y^2,z^2)=min(1,0,0)=0 which doesn't  \n     equal 1.\nIV.  if g(x,y,z)=0 then x+y+z/3=0. Of course, you can take \n     such two negative values for two numbers among x,y,z \n     that the equation holds. There can always be a \n     function of maximum t(x,y,z)=max(x,y,z) irrespective \n     of the fact that g=0 !\nQs:  to show that a equation doesn't hold you need to pick\n     such a point (in this case in R^3 so (x,y,z)) that it \n     shows the contradiction. You just need to practice :)  \n     I had such ex. on my first term of studies (maths) in \n     Algebra I. And if a statement is always correct, you \n     have to proof it :)


How can people claim they would like to reform our world in general e.g to improve the living standard of third world, alleviation of poverty. while at the same time, they are so afraid of losing jobs to those countries. e.g. I would support more home country made products etc.\nAre these two objectives fundamentally in conflict? caring for the world v.s. protectionist

I agree that we should not be afraid to buy products from other countries.  If all the countries of the world participated in free markets and allowed their citizens basic freedoms, poverty would be greatly reduced.


i even agreed and blew into the device 3 times

DUI is for driving under the influence of just about any kind of substance, including prescription medications, narcodics, laughing gas that they gave you at the dentist, etc. Alcohol is the most common substance assosiated with DUI, which is why they use breathalizers to measure blood alcohol content.\n\nIn any event, you should speak to a lawyer in your area right away.

its an existentialist novel by jean paul. i would like to know a little about what its all about.

Being and Nothingness: A Phenomenological Essay on Ontology (1943) is a philosophical treatise by Jean-Paul Sartre that is regarded as the beginning of the growth of existentialism in the 20th century. The French title is L'Être et le Néant. Its main purpose was to define the consciousness as transcendent. The work also sought to disprove George Berkeley's famous contention that "Esse Est Percipi", or "to be is to be perceived".\n\n"Sartre’s overriding concern in writing Being and Nothingness was to vindicate the fundamental freedom of the human being, against determinists of all stripes. It was for the sake of this freedom that he asserted the impotence of physical causality over human beings, that he analysed the place of nothingness within consciousness and showed how it intervened between the forces that act upon us and our actions." (p.111) Neil Levy - Sartre (One World Publications 2002)

Galileo did something that you should never do.  He looked at the sun through a telescope, which later caused him to go blind.  But over a period of time he observed the sun and he saw sunspots.  If you took a ping pong ball and spun it through the air then it might be hard to tell that it was spinning.  But if you put a spot on the same ping pong ball and then spun it through the air then you would even be able to tell how fast it was spinning. It was the same for Galileo.  He was able to measure how long it took the sun to rotate (about 25 days near the equator).


95% of warrents for murder in L.A. are for Illegal aliens. 2/3 of all birth in L.A. county are to Illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal. 25% of all inmates in california detention centers are Mexican Nationals here illegally. Over 300 thousand Illegal Aliens in L.A. are living in garages. The FBI reports half of all gang members in L.A. are most likely  illegal aliens from south of the border. Nearly 60% of all occupants of Hud properties are Illegal aliens. Less than 2% of Illegal aliens are picking our crops. 29% are on welfare. Our own poor people can't get housing  because the Illegal aliens are taking it all. The leaders of the marches say we are exploating Mexico, how can they say that when we pay 70$ a barrel for their oil, they have all the natural resourses to build a thriving society.  Japan has no natural resourses and their society is thriving also austraila is thriving with no natural resourses. That shows you Mexicans can't run a government they made a dump out of their own.

That's only in LA. So, even though you say big numbers like 29%,90% etc. and fractions like 2/3 you fail to mention that the population is significantly made up illegal immigrants and besides they cannot get out of paying state taxes when purchasing. You are also failing to mention the fact that even though 40% of workers in LA (legal or illegal) get paid cash and don't pay taxes, the US "entrepreneurs" who employ them also get out of paying that portion (and even more than the employee) of social security, medicare, state disability, insurance, EDD and Regular Payroll Fees, and certain minimal benefits that are usually provided with any job. To cut this one short it ends up that you benefit from this whole thing too (you can figure that one out on your own... I hope).\n\nOh your comment about Mexican people not being able to run a government, it's more like the Mexican govt. can't run the country. Mexico's govt. has it's share of problems, more than the US and still the Mexican people know it's the govt. and don't blame their problems on the flow of illegal immigrants crossing the border from South America in to Mexico.

Because to me I understand if she doesnt feel like getting ready but why does she pick out outfits like this??? Usually if you dont feel like getting ready you would wear something comfortable but this would be the most uncomfortable outfit ever! I couldnt stand haveing my bra completely showing and my underwear sticking out like that. She dresses like this all the time! I dont get why??? Its one thing to not care about what you look like and another to just go into your closet with your eyes shut and throw on whatever you pick up first.  http://www.britneyzone.com/pictures/displayimage.php?album=1417&pos=15

Poor old Britters - lol - that picture is kind of a shocker even for her.\n\nGive the poor chick a break - look at what she's married to, punishment enough???


my best friend is 16,she has just started going out with a guy who is 19. I'm worried that all he is intrested in is having sex with her. He tells her he loves her and they have only been going out for a 2 weeks. He is always hinting that he wants her to have sex with him. She is nieve and does not realize what he is hinting. What should i do? I've tried talking to her about and she won't listen.

Tell her face to face that as her friend you feel it is important that she listen to you, then tell her exactly how you are interpreting the situation and warn her that you are worried that all he is out to do it take advantage of her.


hi, im anirudh from india, i've a problem, my name is spelt as 'anirudha' in the passport, although the actual name is anirudh, i am now gonna get my passport renewed... will that pose a problem? because i write my name as anirudh everywhere, can i show this mistake to the guys at the passport office and get it changed or do i have other alternatives?

Do you have other documents with the correct spelling?  If so take them in.  And it depends which passport it is - US or Indian.  You should have dealt with it when you first got the passport.


If so you don't think the US should control the world and make the rest of the world excluding Britain and our allies slaves

dude the us is the best there ever was and if u dont belive that u should be shot iraqi


Will the world be a better place under china,will the rights and liberties of the moslems be restored and the world witness an end to terror.

I doubt it. As long as there are people who are trying to live the laws and be concientious about choosing people to represent them as they see fit, I don't think that a totalatarian government would be able to take over. If everyone were to become apathetic and not care, then it might be possible, but I don't see that happening. The beauty of the US government is that each person has the right to express their own opinions and can be totally within their rights. We can't be thrown into jail for our beliefs.


Goldstein and Bin ladden, The fictional Oceania(USa+UK+Australia+others) and the real Coliation (Usa+UK+Australia+others), The '2 minutes hate' and the modern media campaign against Islam and arabs. The moral covering of material goals, and the use of fear and ignorance to lead the people of oceania?\n\nDon't you think politicians can aply such a scenario if they can and if it is profitable enough?\nPlease only those who have Read 1984, by George orwell could answer, thank you.

I see more similarities between The Ministry of Truth and the US government.\n\nIt can be summed up in the word's of one of 1984's characters, O'Brien, when he said:\n\n"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever."\n\nBut even in the middle of this totalitarian "utopia," there is one man--Winston Smith--who dares to question authority, and who seeks a life and love for himself.\n\nBut in the end, Winston is simply a pawn in a vast conspiracy. A conspiracy which cheats him of his love, Julia, and ultimately of his own sanity--when he is incarcerated in the Ministry of Love, and subjected to the horrors of Room 101.\n\nHowever, even as Winston Smith lives out his days in diminished manhood, he clings on to one idea--that if there is any hope at all, it lies with the proletariat ("proles").\n\nNow, the "proles" were the ordinary people--the masses. These people were cannon fodder--and largely ignored by the powers that be. Smith's hope was that one day the proles would "wake up"--and in so doing, would--by force of numbers--sweep away the vast illusion of totalitarian state power.\n\nAnd this is the all-important point. It is an ILLUSION. State power is only effective as long as those subject to it "believe" in it. The state has no power except what we grant it. Its power is derived from our willingness to give up our own power. Thus, the state's primary role is to instill in its subjects the idea that it is absolutely necessary, and that without it, life would be miserable and chaotic (like present-day Iraq, perhaps).\n\nState education, manipulation and control of the media, spin, censorship, fear-mongering, doomsday scenarios, mass hysteria, religious symbolism and "grand visions," are all tools of the state--in its constant quest to maintain control over people. And if that doesn't work, well there's always tear gas, guns and tanks!\n\nJust take one example--taxation. Taxation is money taken from you by force. Yes, force. If you do not pay your taxes and continue to ignore threats to do so, then you will be charged and likely incarcerated.\n\nIf you, as an individual, try to stand up to the state and refuse to pay your taxes, then they ship you off to jail. You, by yourself, cannot hope to oppose the state on its own terms. You must set your OWN terms.\n\nHowever, if everyone simply said "no" in unison, there is absolutely nothing the state could do about it. It could not fine everybody (as they would refuse to pay that also). It could not imprison everybody. It certainly could not execute everybody. No, the state would be exposed for what it is--a charade. The big, fat emperor with no clothes.\n\nIn George Orwell's 1984, the road ended in Room 101. But in the real world--the world as it is--you have the opportunity to . You CAN defeat Big Brother in so many different ways. It's just a matter of "waking up" and seeing where the power really resides--with the people.


The units of the Hubble constant are: km/(s Mpc)\n\nWhat exactly do those units mean?

The universe is expanding. The Hubbles observation was one of the important event in the history in which the experiment bit the theory! \nThe unit in it means that the far away galaxies are going away with certain velocity.

Why is this extraction method less desirable than sodium hydroxide extraction?   Is it because saturated sodium hydroxide drys the solution?

benzioc acid in its neutral form is non-polar. So you cannot separate it from ether (also non-polar). you want to make benzoic acid polar by deprotonating it so you can separate it from ether.\n\nsodium bicarbonate is a weak base, so it would deprotonate the acidic hydrogen on benzoic acid and makes it polar. However, since sodium bicarbonate is a weak base, it does not deprotonate the benzoic acid very efficiently. To do that, you can you sodium hydroxide, which is a much stronger base and can deprotonoate benzoic acid almost completely. so sodium hydroxide is a better choice.


I need to know because the teacher say so and i have to figuered it out, but i can't find it anywhere on the interent.

Your teacher is wrong, there is not such a thing as a degree in skateboarding, it is a sport, and you only become good at it by practicing it, not by studying it. To become a professional skateboarder you would have to be very good at it and then get sponsored by companies that sell skateboarding products, or any other company that uses skateboarding as a form of advertisement.

my boyfriend was 21, 6ft 1, and 185lbs when we got together. now hes 26, 310lbs and im frustrated. he does everything in excess, lies about what and how much he eats and stashes food in his closest. im completely opposite. its ruining our relationship and i hate having sex with him.

He needs help very soon before he has a heart attack.\n\nHe is out of control.  Is he willing to get help?\nIf he is not willing to get help, the best thing you could do is to leave him.  \n\nYou are beginning to hate the relationship, so there is no sense in you staying because you will only grow to resent him more and more.\n\nI hope that he is willing to go for help before it is too late - for his health and for losing you.\n\nGood Luck!

OK... IF I WOULD LIKE TO GO FOR SOME it COURSE....\nAT MY +1+2 LEVEL WHICH SUBJECT SHOULD I OPT FOR? IS MATH AN ESSENTIAL SUBJECT OR ONLY COMPUTER WILL DO? OR IS IT THAT BOTH ARE IMPORTANT

All universities that offer courses in Computer Science or I. T. will insist you to take Math as a core subject. The Math involved is not really hard, just different as it will concentrate on teaching you calculation procedures you will need to manage and control programs, networks, mainframes, etc. A large number of people are turned off by Pure Mathematics because it is so abstract (but it has to be to qualify as "pure"). The math you will learn on a Computer science or I.T. course are practical, almost like learning how to program or how to solve a problem. You should regard it as a set of procedures you will need.


an option on it in the stock market tomorrow, would that be insider trading?  They are planning to announce it tomorrow.

If you are not an Officer, Director, or Holder of more than 10% of any of the companies stocks, and you did not recieve this information from an Officer, Director, or Holder of more than 10% of stock in one of the companies... then no what you are doing is perfectly legal.  It is only insider trading if you come into non publicly available information if it is something obtained as part of the preformance of your duties (ie. its your job to know about the sale)


Should I contact some youth clubs or something?

first, move to a european country where you and your kids know the language.\n\nsecond, get a good job. things aren't free over there.\n\nnext, if they do not want to go, don't go.\n\nyou will not need to contact a club or anything. you just manage to get settled with housing, job, school, and all of this before they sign up with the local club. look elsewhere if you do not like what you see. if your sons develop well, they (clubs) will find your sons.\n\ngood luck!


there is this girl i like, but she only wants to be freinds with me, i really like her though, how can i get her to like me

Just be her friend. Through it all. Listen, talk, go places...be her best buddy. Over time her feelings will change just don't push. If she feels like you are trying to trap her the master plan will blow up on you. Be gentle and polite. And always the gentleman. If you believe she is worth it you can afford to spend the time waiting for her to come around. Don't give up.


A mobile personal trainer business would include a personal trainer going to clients' houses to train them. Conway Arkansas has about 43,000 people. It is 30 miles from the Capitol which is Little Rock.

Ask yourself the following questions:\n\n- Think of why a customer would want to hire you instead of them going to the gym? Convenience may be the best reason, but what about equipment?\n\n- What will the client get from signing up with your classes? What is the VALUE or that extra something that they can get from you and not from a typical gym?\n\n- Will you be the trainer who trains everybody (housewives, CEO, etc.) or will you specialize in one niche?\n\n- What will your training focus be? Will you be training Pilates, or doing kickboxing?\n\n- What will your hours be? Are you willing to train someone at 6 am, or another at 10 pm? Or will you stick to a conventional 9-5 schedule?\n\n- What is your experience? How well known are you in the field of fitness in your area? It is easier to get clients if gym-loving customers already know you as one of the best gym instructors in town\n\nIf your market is big, you define your business carefully, pick your USP Unique Selling Proposition, and take good care of clients, I think you stand a great chance at succeeding.\n\nFor some great tips on customer service, see the article 'Personal Training: 6 Secrets of Award Winning Customer Service' at the following URL: http://www.completepersonaltrainingbusiness.com/article2.html


My niece (8) was hurt by a man.  He took a lie detector test and passed.  She still says he is the one that hurt her.  I have heard that one can take muscle relaxers to pass a lie detector test, has anyone else heard of anything like this?

Yes. Polygraphs are highly innacurate-- so innacurate, in fact, that many states do not allow them to be used as evidence in courts. I know for sure that New York State doesn't allow polygraphs to be used as evidence.\n\nFalse positives are more common than false negatives, however... if someone is very nervous, or the questions are worded badly, it can very easily look like someone is lying who isn't. \n\nYou're right about muscle relaxers, too. They can help a person pass a lie detector. Or he may just be a cool liar-- some people are! Either way, polygraphs really aren't definitive proof of anything.

I would prefer something natural over a prescription or over the counter drug.

Aleeve or Nuprin can help that.\n\nI did find this on natural alternatives:\n\nAre there any alternative treatments?\n\nYes. Although few scientific studies have been done in this area, many women have reported benefits from acupressure, acupuncture, and various herbal remedies, which are believed to help lessen menstrual cramps as well as the symptoms of PMS. The ancient Chinese arts of acupuncture and acupressure are based on the belief that by stimulating specific points on the body with hair-thin needles or a practitioner's hand pressure can unblock the flow of energy within the body and relieve pain.\n\n\n\nIn the herb department, cramp bark or black cohosh are thought to safely relieve menstrual cramps. Many women also swear by evening primrose oil, though no scientific evidence yet proves its effectiveness.\n\n\n\nObstetrician/gynecologist Christian Northrup, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, also reports that dietary changes have brought her patients relief from menstrual cramps. She recommends that women can decrease their intake of eggs, red meat, and dairy products or switch to organic dairy foods, on the theory that milk containing added hormones and antibiotics may stimulate female hormones in ways we don't yet understand. Among her other recommendations:\n\n\n\n•Get plenty of essential fatty acids, which are found in canned sardines, salmon, flaxseed oil, and ground flaxseed, among other things (according to Northrup, this seems to moderate cramps even if you don't change your diets in other ways). \n•Take extra magnesium and a multivitamin-and-mineral supplement. \n•Take extra vitamin E during your menstrual cycles. \n•As much as you can, eliminate trans-fatty acids from your diet (these are found in foods like commercially prepared pastries, which contain margarine, solid vegetable shortening, and other partially hydrogenated oils). \n•Cut down on stress.  \n•Try yoga or massage.

You had the bad luck to be born in a region that cares more for religion than for human rights.  It isn't going to happen soon, but I believe and hope that the removal of Saddam was a good first step in bettering the human condition in Iraq.

Please Help

Have you talked to your pediatrician? My 4 month old gets it. They gave us samples of cetaphil. It comes in soap, liquid cleanser, cream, and lotion. I use the soap for bathtime and the cream for afterward and at random times throughout the day. The pediatrician did suggest something else if it got worse or infected, but I cant remember what. Cetaphil is just a mild, scentfree product. It has worked wonders on her skin. We were using aveeno nighttime stuff... babies with sensitive skin probably shouldnt use products with scents, it could inflame the sensitive areas. She also tld me that eczema tends to be heriditary and that it occurs in mostly fairskinned babies/people. Though some babies get it and grow out of it.


suffering from the effect of abuse suffered during slavery (meaning the physical,emotional,sexual,verbal and spiritual abuse)today.It is said that most people that are abused and not treated goes on to be abusers them selves.Could this be one of the problems in the black community today?The cycle repeating it self(drugs,alcohol,sex,religion)

OSome do but I did not have that problem. Yes many suffer from the effects of slavery. I came across this trying to figure out some of the conditions that blacks are in today. When I traced it's origins it does go back to slavery and segregation. Here's what Dr. king had to say\n\n"Whenever this issue [compensatory treatment] is raised, some of our friends(Whites) recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the second would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up." \n"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis." \n"... for 15 centuries the Negro was enslaved and robbed of any wages — potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants."

Our son is in year3 and he told us that they are going to have some serious numeracy and literacy tests in the hall.  As far as I know they had the first set of SATs at the end of last year.  Are there routine tests at the end of each year?  Do we need to do revision and preparation for those?

Hi,\n Some schools have SATs' style exams ready for years 3,4,5 but there is no more formal exam as such until your Son is in year 6. You will probably find that any revision he needs to do will be covered within lesson planning by the teacher and possible as homework. I advise my class not to get too worried about them as they do know the answers but to make sure they get a good nights sleep before the tests and to eat a good breakfast.


and dont bother him (in the same sentence) WHY DO MEN DO THAT?\nALSO:we are buying our first home, I asked why dont he sign papers with me? so I waited 3 weeks; I went to put bid in and sign all papers to get it started; his name is on none; now he says he cant have his name on any house "we" buy because of his back taxes he still owes on; but didnt bother to tell me this when "looking" at houses to buy. now "we" picked this house and there is going to take a little longer for the bank(that owns the house) to finish final paper work and he thinks he can tell me to tell my mortgage company(getting loan through) that "we" dont not want to wait any longer. and now he can say at ANY TIME that he wants; that he dont want to  move with me and my daughter(he has known her 16yr)( we are not legally married, we live single ,financially). but I CAN NOT AFFORD IT WITHOUT HIS HELP FINANCIALLY( HELP WITH DOWN PAYMENT, FIXING A FEW THINGS. WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME:MAKE ME BELIEVE HE WANTED A HOUSE???

He has committment issues. The house is the factor that makes your relationship permanent and he wants to be able to escape if he chooses. \n\nIt doesn't sound from what you wrote that he has been different...just that things are changing and he isn't dealing with it well. The more you demand committment to the situation (the house)...the more he may back down. He also is maybe worried that he won't do a good job at paying for the house...but I suspect that he is looking for excuses. \n\nPerhaps you should sit down with him very calmly and look at the situation..talk to him. Ask him if he is wanting to settle down. He may like being involved but doesn't want to settle down. It is his personality. Fear. Maybe...he needs to hear something from you. Maybe he needs encouraged. Maybe you are being demanding (without knowing it). It seems that you are going ahead with plans and he isn't wanting to yet. \n\nYou both need to talk it out. Try to get your emotions out of it...and see it from his perspective. He is scared about something....so just ask. \n\nTry thinking of it this way....would you want to put a down payment down...and fix things on a house if you didn't own it....he will feel like a roommate or perhaps dangerously vulnerable. Just try to be understanding...and step back.\n\nHe might just need time or reassurance. But you need to stop putting pressure on him. Just my thoughts..and I might have it all wrong...but it is what I see.


He served in WW II and saw action at Okinawa.  We've recently received his military papers and they show that he was not formally discharged UNTIL 1959!  This is a little unusual because he was dismissed in 1946, and didn't believe he had any affiliation with the military during all the intervening years. We think his discharge was delayed  because he was trained as a naval gunfire liasion - and there were very few who were trained in that capacity.  He's now 84 and in poor health.  Does anyone know if he's entitled to military benefits of any sort?

Absolutely! As for the 1946 vs. 1959 thing, he may have been classified in-active Reserve due to his training.\n\nContact the local VA clinic in your area. I know treatment probably varies from area to area, but my father, also a Navy Vet of WWII has received excellent care. I think you may also be surprised how many benefits are available to him. \n\nYou may also want to contact your local VFW Post. There will be plenty of Vets there that would be proud to walk you through the process or get you in contact with the right people if you're having trouble. \n\nTell him we thank him for his service.


i took out a car loan and gave the car to my mom. I make the payments and she in turns pays me. I just got married and we need a car. i was told if i write a letter explaining the situatio, i could possibly get another car loan. is this at all true? any responses would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure that if your credit it good enough and you explain the situation to the bank, you may be able to get a second loan. A car dealer may also be able to finance you themselves.


I have been taking this med for several years, durring sex i can go on for hours with out reaching a climax. If I quite the med for 3 or 4 days then I can reach an orgasm, but then i get dissy.

It is likely from the Effexor. This is a very common side effect. Sounds like you need to talk to your doctor about a medication change. It is not a good idea for you to stop the medication abruptly, though, as there is a risk of serotonin withdrawal syndrome. This may be a contributor to your dizziness.


..............and when you went to pick it up, they had deleted 200 photos--parent's anniversary party, new baby, family etc?\nNot only that, they took 13 pictures of themselves!

Be thankful, that you got the camera back. You forgot the camera, they did not take on the sly. If the camera memory has not been formatted, recovery of the lost photos could be possible. Ask the Car Rental office guys to pay for the recovery of the photos.\n\nAlso would suggest that you request the police to take cognisance of the happening so that the Car rental guys can't deny anything. Also keep the head office of the agency informed through your attorney.

Was the cotton ball that you think was wrong bloody?? Was there any blood on it at all?? If not the answer is NO. Relax and take a deep breath!!


This wonderful being who is able to speak with his tongue and is capable of urging his case with it, has been created from an insignificant sperm drop.\nThen many animals have been created to satisfy the necessities of his life. They provide food, clothing, and conveyance for him and help satisfy his aesthetic taste as well. Then there is a remarkable system of rain-water from the sky to produce corn crops, fruits and verdure, etc on the earth to fulfil man's needs. Then there the creation of regular days and nights and seasons, which are closely, connected with all kinds of production of the earth, and also with Man's general well being. Then there are oceans, which help fulfil many of his physical and aesthetic demands and provide water ways for traffic. Likewise mountains have been created to provide man with many benefits. Then there are landmarks on the earth and stars in the heavens to guide travellers and navigators to the destinations. In short, there are innumerable Signs in the Earth and the heavens which are closely inter-connected and are also indispensable to man's welfare, nay, to his very existence.\n\nAll these are clear proofs that only One Being has designed the whole universe and created it in accordance with that design. It is He Who is all the time creating new things to fit in that scheme, and working this wonderful universe that spreads from the Earth to boundless heavens.\n\nWho can then claim, except a foolish or obdurate person, that all this has come into existence by mere accident?\nOr, who can say that these different aspects, which are working under a perfect system and are intimately connected with one another and are well-balanced, have been created by different gods and are under the control of different guardians?

if the system is so perfect why is evolution necessary?? and if you dont believe the man from monkeys thing, what about viruses and why we need new flu shots every year??

passed declaring English as the 'common' language of the U.S.? Do you think that the legislation have any profound effect on the country or those applying for citizenship?

No, it seems that most people who work towards legal citizenship already work at learning English because they realize that is the language of this country. What it will do is allow us to stop wasting tax payer money on providing services in multiple languages for people who tend to be here illegally. Of course, it's hard to say if this will happen or if states will continue to offer bilingual education, services, etc. The new legislation does not force states to stop offering these services, it just allows them to stop if they decide to.\n\nCheers :)


Is Leukemia hereditary? If yes, how many generations does it reach? I mean, if for example, you have 5 children, until which child will have it? Is it also possible that for example, there are three children. The 1st child got it, the 3rd too but the second did not? Is that possible? My mom, who is a nurse, told me that it is hereditary. And then, I have this special friend. He is taking medications because he is sick. Yet he did not tell me what his sickness is. He told me that his mother has Leukemia. So now, I am thinking that he has it too 'cause my mother said that it is hereditary. Then, his older sister is also being brought to the hospital. Yet his younger brother not. So I think, his younger brother doesn't have it. They are only three children. Hope my questions will get answered. Thank You.

Hello,\n\nNo in 95% plus of cases there is no hereditary predisposition to leukemia.  The one exception is with identical twins, if one twin gets leukemia, the other twin has a higher 'risk' of getting the same leukemia, but it's not a certainty that they will.\n\nThere are hereditary cancer syndromes,(one in particular is called Li-Fraumeni syndrome) where a particular genetic defect is passed from parent to child, and then that child when they grow up, on to their children; that are associated with a high incidence of all types of different cancers, leukemia included.  These fortunately are not very common.  There also other 'genetic/hereditary' conditions that are associated with a higher risk of getting cancer such as Down's, Wiskott Aldrich, Neurofibromatosis syndromes.\n\nYou may be confusing 'hereditary' with 'genetic'.  Cancer is a genetic disease, meaning that there are genetic changes that occur within some cell that then transform it into a cancer cell.  However, these transformations occur after the individual is born, and are usually just plain bad luck; meaning they didn't get it from their parents.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nJohn


I am wearing my sister's wedding dress. She was about 6-8 size bigger than me when she wore it. Also I am going to make it strapless and get rid of the sleeves completely...

Im thinking it could cost at least $100. I have to get mine done soon. We spent $750 on the dress. I was a size 12 then, and now lost over 30 ibs. The dress was already alittle too long on me (im short) and its a halter, and the strap needed shortened. So, mine is probably needing about as much as yours needs done. We are looking around $100, and thats not including getting it cleaned and pressed before the wedding. You would almost be better to go somewhere like davids bridal. They have pretty dresses for a good price, and they have the $99 sale often. But if you love the dress you have, i say go for it and get it altered!\n\nBest wishes!

I mean, they knew thay had 5000 to feed and only bothered to catch four fish. At the very least, this makes them poor hosts!

geez,they must be.feeding 5000 people.they must've caught some giant whale or something.


there is a speculation of some eruptive volcano, because of  warmimg of pluto's atmosphere.\n\nVolcanoes on Pluto?\nJames Elliot of MIT led a team of astronomers who coordinated their observations and presented the findings today at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's (AAS) Division for Planetary Sciences in Birmingham, Ala.\n\nElliot hinted at the possibility of another factor fueling Pluto's warming trend.\n\nHe compared Pluto to Triton, a moon of Neptune. Both have atmospheres made mostly of nitrogen. In 1997, Triton occulted a star and astronomers found that its atmosphere had warmed since the last observations were made in 1989 during the Voyager mission. Back then, Voyager found dark material rising above Triton, indicating possible eruptive activity.\n\n"There could be more massive activity on Pluto, since the changes observed in Pluto's atmosphere are much more severe," Elliot said. "The change observed on Triton was subtle. Pluto's changes are not subtle."\n\nThere is no firm evidence that Pluto is volcanically active, but neither is there evidence to rule out that possibility. Even the Hubble Space Telescope can barely make out Pluto's surface.\n\nElliot added that the process affecting Pluto's temperature is complex. "We just don't know what is causing these effects," he said.\n \nGuess we will have to wait  as Tentative mission plans call for a robotic probe that would not reach Pluto for several years, making a flyby sometime prior to 2020 prior to investigating other objects deeper in the solar system.


I would like to have especially answers from democrats. Ok I don't understand why he have voted for this awful war but that's the only thing I blame him for. People always consider him as a flip-flopper, or worse, a traitor. At contrary, I think he seems to be very involved in making America a better place and he's far much liberal (in the democrat sense of the term) than the other democrat candidates. I clearly don't understand democrats these times. Why do you support Hillary Clinton (is she that good?) and John McCain (he is a Republican, why all this love from democrats?) instead of John Kerry? I'm kinda afraid of this thinhg. Thanks!

Kerry was clearly a better choice than Bush... I think the polls are clear on that... \n\nHe actually served his country in battle and got wounded... sorry if he had an opinion after he served... and I've heard from many who served with him and liked him... \n\nHe has some plans (unlike his opponent, I don't know that I've seen a Bush plan that was actually his on anything ever) and didn't win only because of the calling others names like "flip-flopper" \n\nhave you ever noticed all the personal attacks that everyone has on him... that's republicans only way they know how to be political... play dirty... I don't think anyone hardly brought up Bush's bad drug habits or alcohol problems, but they drug kerry's private life through the mud... hahhaa... moral majority...yeah right\n\nBut I don't think Kerry or Hillary is the best choice... Kerry has his run, and Hillary is a woman... and a woman won't win the south or the elderly vote which is critical... I like Edwards and Bush has screwed up enough to give him just the wiggle room he needs to get support
