I am deciding between UC santa Barbara and UC Davis. I just want to be able to get the Highest possible GPA, and i have the idea that going to one school will allow me to get better GPA. (for several reasons such as SB is party school and curve is lower) IS this TRUE?

Yes, in general I would say that a more prestigious school will have higher standards for what A level work is and what B level work is etc.  A good student will get an A easier at a less prestigious school than if they were at harvard for example.  \n \nOf course, this also depends on teachers. i have had professors who got their phds from MIT and Berkeley etc and yet are very easy graders and others who are from normal schools who are very tough graders. it all depends on the person.  \n\nif you want to get an idea of what a specific school is like do the following. Go to "ratemyprofessor.com".  then open up a separate webpage and look up UC santa barbara's business department. go to faculty and then go one by one and look up the faculty on "ratemyprofessor" and see what other students have said about the professors. they normally give information about how hard the teacher was on grading.

New line Cinema´s Movie\nMiramax Films developed a full-fledged live action adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, with Peter Jackson as director. Eventually, with Miramax becoming increasingly uneasy with the sheer scope of the proposed project, Jackson was given the opportunity to find another studio to take over. In 1998, New Line Cinema assumed production responsibility (while Miramax executives Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein retained on-screen credits as executive producers).\n\nThe three films were shot simultaneously. They featured extensive computer-generated imagery, including major battle scenes utilising the "Massive" software program. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released on December 19, 2001, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on December 18, 2002 and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King worldwide on December 17, 2003. All three won the Hugo Award for Best (Long-form) Dramatic Presentation in their respective years.\n\nJackson's adaptations garnered seventeen Oscars, four for The Fellowship of the Ring, two for The Two Towers, and eleven for The Return of the King; these covered many of the award categories. The Return of the King in fact won all of the eleven awards for which it was nominated, including Best Picture. With a total of 30 nominations, the trilogy also became the most-nominated in the Academy's history, surpassing the Godfather series' 28.\n\nThe Return of the King's Oscar sweep is widely seen as a proxy award for the whole series. Its 11 Oscars at the 2004 Academy Awards tied it for most awards won for one film with Titanic six years earlier and the 1959 version of Ben-Hur. It also broke the previous "sweep" record, beating Gigi and The Last Emperor (which each took 9 out of 9).\n\nThe visual-effects work has been acclaimed as groundbreaking, particularly the creation of the emotionally versatile digital character Gollum. The scale of the production alone — three films shot and edited back to back over a period of little more than three years — was unprecedented.\n\nThe films have also proven to be substantial box office successes. The premiere of The Return of the King took place in Wellington, New Zealand, on 1 December 2003 and was surrounded by fan celebrations and official promotions, the production of the films having contributed significantly to the New Zealand economy. It has made movie history as the largest Wednesday opening ever. The Return of the King was also the second film after Titanic to earn over US$1 billion worldwide; however, as none of these figures are adjusted for inflation, their significance is questionable. Adjusted for inflation, as of 24 March 2005, the three films rank (in order of release) as the 71st, 56th, and 48th highest-grossing films in the United States.\nDevoted fans have also flocked to the locations where the trilogy was filmed in New Zealand, with many tour companies being dedicated to taking fans to and from the locations.\n\nElijah Wood\n\nA professional actor since the age of nine, Wood is best known for the role of Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He took the stage in his elementary school's rendition of the play The Sound of Music. The following year, he graduated to the title character of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Wood also served as choir boy during the production of See How They Run, produced by the Marion Creative Council.\n\nMaking his film debut with a minor part in Back to the Future II in 1989, Wood landed a succession of subsequent larger roles and became a critically acclaimed child actor. His performance in The War gained him a nomination by the YoungStar Awards (for which he was nominated five times and won once), and Roger Ebert said in his review of the film that "Elijah Wood has emerged, I believe, as the most talented actor in his age group in Hollywood history."\n\nHis role as Frodo in The Lord of the Rings made him a star, but


if i bought a flat that has the head lease what would my responsibility be?

A "head lease" is sometimes referred to as a "master lease" or a "prime lease".   If you were to buy a flat that has a head lease, that means, generally, that you are buying a flat located in a building or situated on a piece of land that you do not own.  So, in reality, you are "renting" the property in or on which the flat is located.  Your responsibilities are governed by the "head lease" and you should be able to get a copy of the "head lease" before you consider buying the flat.  Head leases are usually for very long terms (in California, they can be as long as 99 years) and from looking at the head lease you can determine when the term of the lease ends.  It may be 5 years it may be 50 years, or possibly more.  Ownership of a flat in this manner is called having a "leasehold interest" in the flat.  If the flat were NOT subject to a "head lease" then you would own the flat and the land on which it is located "in fee simple interest."  "Leasehold interest" in the US is an ownership right just like "fee simple interest" -- you can buy insurance for it, resell it, renovoate, etc.  You should consult with a reputable real estate agent or lawyer before making any decisions regarding real estate.  Good luck!


any suggestion for child bearing capacity

If she is healthy, it should not be a problem in the slightest.  33 is not that old, in terms of fertility.\n\nIf a problem arises, there are things that can help.  The general rule of thumb is, if you are under 35 and have been trying for a year, it's time to see a reproductive endocrinologist (RE). If you're over 35 and it's been 6 months, then consult the RE. There are a number of tests and therapies that can be tried to determine if in fact you are infertile, if so, why, and what treatment is best. For example, if Endometriosis is a cause, surgical removal of the Endo can help. If other factors are involved (female), perhaps certain medications (IVF protocol) can help. Other treatments/options exist if the cause of the infertility in the couple is due to the male factor. \n\nStart with the links below. Good luck! \n\nhttp://www.socrei.org/\nhttp://www.haveababy.com/\nhttp://www.inciid.org/\nhttp://www.resolve.or

In 2006 with FEMA, Bush, Gas Prices, Famine, War, AIDS, Poverty as well several other pivitol issues that are going on, do we HAVE TO  play the race card? These issues affect every person, regardless of race, gender or sexual preference. \nBut someone will blame black people (on this question probably*idiot*~) for the issues I just stated in this question. Can we be mature!?

Race shouldn't be an issue, but it is. Its not right, but some people can't see beyond color. Its just something that we have to deal with I guess.\n\nEveryone doesn't know how to be mature.

Whats the difference between Pentium Mobile technology & Pentium Centrino. Which ones is the latest and better.

Pentium M is the CPU of the Intel Centrino (marketing) platform which includes the CPU, chipset, and wireless card. The design of the Pentium M CPU is based on the Pentium 3 architecture.\n\nPentium 4 Mobile is the older intel cpu/chipset which used the Pentium 4 chips. They are much slower than Pentium M CPUs, and are less energy efficient. They are no longer produced.

Thank you all for your support and advice!!!\n\nI want to get into a Christian college, but he doesn't want to me to, because he doesnt want me to be around guys that would like me. \n\nThen i told him I want to be around Christian people environment. Not people whom dont live for jesus, and whom live for Sex, Drugs, Alcohol, and Sin. \n\nAnd he said Id and you rather be around that, cause\nyou respect The guys whom are christians. And You don't respect non believers. \n\nWhy is he doing this!!!?\n\nPlease give me advice; id love your advice!!\n\nThank you and God Bless!!\n\nAlso he says hes a christian; and he cries when his brother is sinning.\n\nDoes he think I'll go for a Christian, and leave him? or\nwhat?\n\nHe said hed rather be around Non believers, then Christians!!\nBecause the christians would like me. But Non Believers\nwould take advantage of me, and probably touch me and sexually harrass me.\n\nThanks!!\nGod Bless!!

if he was a christian he would respect you for your decision. I think you are doing the right thing.  Think about this...Dont worry about why he's doing it.  Its the Devil talking. God would love for you to be around Christians, and of course the Devil would not.  Don't put God after your boyfriend. God first, ALWAYS! God Bless You!

Besides the pepper spray and potential for serious injury, why do people run from the po-po?

Um, I don't know why they bother to run, but nowdays there are helicopters and spy cams all over the city and they can dispatch other cop cars to come running at you from the direction you are going so the person will just be surrounded.  \n\nPlus, there is that new invention that is basically a gun that shoots a web that catches the person that is running.  So yeah, it's a pretty bad idea to run from the police.\n\nNot only that, but if the person would have just surrendered peacefully they would have been better off, but instead they chose to run and now when the cops do catch that person they are going to beat the sh*t out of them for running.

I have this friend he is divorced and we have known each other for 4 months. He is leaving for the military as soon as he passes the required test. I have not talked with him for about 3 weeks on the phone. I only talk with him at work, because we have the same occupation at the same place. The last time I called to talk with him he picked up and hung up on me. I have no clue if it was him that hung up or if someone else did. To me that does not matter because if no one wants to talk with me; then they are not worth my time anyway. I just have no clue what to do I have lost the only guy friend that I have; because of a corny reason. The reason is well worth it thought; if no one wants to respect me then I cannot respect them. I only have one rule and it has worked for me in the past and the present; hopefully will also in the future.

no if that person is not interested and knowing you than don't waste your time because it is you this person has to fall in love with not the mystery of who you are


What special traits, if any, do Geminis have? Such as liking lots of things and having lots of choices and being spontaneous? I don't really believe in astrology, but I was just wondering if anybody knew.(I hear people thinking now: 'For somebody who says she doesn't believe in astrology, she seems pretty interested...")Thanks for your help.

geminis r very complicated people.they usually chose one trait over the other, meaning there good side can dominate there bad side or there bad side can dominate there good. u dont want to see a geminis bad side, trust me that it is best to stay away from making them upset. they r two-faced at all times, so it just depends on which face they r going to put forth that day. yet, when they r sweet, they r just too too too too too sweet! they have an every day struggle since thay r two people and have two personalities. do not hurt,steal from,or discriminate a gemini because they will let u have it...especially females.


I'm the loner type of person, and I enjoy being alone all the time but I know this is a bad thing because if I don't like interacting and communicating with people, life for me is going to be a struggle. (school-wise and career-wise) So how can I enjoy being around people more?

Stop judging others because they're not judging you.  You know what I'm talking about.

i just got done answering a nasty e-mail, because said person got butt-hurt when i said don't knock sex until you've tried it. I was only tring to help since today's church is so against sex. does anyone see my point????

lol I can't believe you would ask such a stupid question.\nChurch is against sex if it is outside of marriage, otherwise it is fine.\nYour not helping, because trying to get someone to try sex outside of marriage is stupid. \nThat person could get sexual diseases. That can't be fun.\n\nP.S. I tell you this tracdaddy5 that email was not nasty that email was just simply me standing firm on what I believe. \nSure I was getting mad and upset but it was not a nasty email.

President Bush declared recently that the national anthem should be sung in English not Spanish, but he evidently never told his own government or campaign organizations. \n\nThe State Department posts four Spanish versions of The Star-Spangled Banner on its Web site, and accounts from the 2000 election suggest that the song was at times performed in Spanish at Bush campaign events. Critics even turned up one reference to Mr. Bush singing the anthem in Spanish on the trail, but there was no confirmation.

Geez mate that's real bad hey?  Got any idea where you might have left it?  LMAO\n\nSo you have an issue because the government (not that I endorse Bush... what a loser!) is bringing the history and essence of your country to people who may not be able to speak English very well in an attempt to give them access to what you take for granted and which to them would otherwise be unreachable!\n\nI don't think you lost your country ... I think you better go looking for your intelligence and understanding.. they appear to be lost!


All of these have something to do with WWII. Can you at least tell me what a few of them mean?

Adding to above: The Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (present-day Turkey) in World War I. Island hopping was a strategy used in WWII whereby the US forces would capture islands successively closer to Japan so that they could engage in aerial bombing of the country.


we were married in Philippines,what shall I do to make the processing faster than usual?

If you are a U.S. citizen, you need to file for a K-3 visa through USCIS and the National Visa Center. Begin by filing the immediate relative petition, and then the appropriate visa forms when you get a receipt from USCIS. Assuming your wife is granted K-3 status, she can then come to the U.S. and immediately apply for her lawful permanent residency (green card). Unfortunately there is no way to speed this process along, and you are looking at about a 6-10 month process to get her here on a K-3.\n\nIf you are not a U.S. citizen, then the picture changes considerably (way too much to list in this response).\n\nGood luck!


Can anyone tell me that is pyschic on here, is he with me and does he have a message for me?  Please don't make fun of my question i truly miss him from the bottom of my heart!

Ok, my friend's daughter is only 16 years old and has a weight problem, and i need your help.\nShe is on a diet (eats healthy food). But, she cant find the right excersise 2 go with her diet. So, could you tell me what excersise should i tell her to do that will make her loose weight faster?

It's a known fact that if you loose weight too quick, you end up putting it back on in the long run. To loose weight & sustain it, you need to eat a healthy, well-balance diet & loose weight gradually, say 1 - 1.5Kg per week. \n\nAs to what exercise she should do, well, any form of excercise is good for you, but maybe she should try something to help her body get into a good shape aswell. I've done Callenetics for this in the past - not easy, but you only need 20 - 30 minutes a day & it really does work in pulling your muscles in tighter. This shouldn't be the only excercise she does though, something like swimming would also be good, as that works the whole body & not just a part of it.

I'm 25 years old. I live at home. I am terribly lonely. I have nobody in real life to speak with. I have lived like this for many years now.\n\nI am alone and don't see any way out. I think of killing myself a lot. Is there any hope at all or should I end things? I don't think I belong in this world.

If you don't have a job go and get one, its as good a way as any to meet new people.\nPeople get depressed for many reasons, there's no point in killing yourself, unless you know for sure what happens after death.\nYou could try something extreme, go away on your own, maybe travelling or aid work, this will force you to meet other people and held get a purpose in your life.\nIf you feel like killing yourself, then you have nothing to lose by trying apsolutely anything you've never had the courage to do. Whats the worse that could happen?\nAlternatively try religion, its seems to work for many people.

Over the course of nine years we managed to have a seven year old son, brought a nice home, but still haven't gotten married yet. In 2004 we split up for almost a year, then decided to get back together. Just the thought of knowing that she's been with somebody else and I've been with someone else during that time messes with me mentally. And maybe I still feel that the potential is still there for that to happen again. I will admit this, she never disrepected me at all. So why do I feel this way.

You asked about Shiva , he is one of the 3main Gods Vishnu(who gives birth),Bhramha(who takes care),Shiva(who kills).Krishna is the only god  who has been called the supreme personality of godhead. If you still want to know more visit a sight, India divine.com.\nAnd yes these gods are not only taking care of this earth but also of this universe\n                                Thank you for reading!


Curious about number of Ph.D.s worldwide and the percentage in relation to populations.

I was only able to obtain statistics for the United States. About 1% percent of people over 25 years old living in the US have doctoral degrees. About 2% have terminal professional degrees (considered to be equivalent to a masters degree or higher). Some people lump doctoral and professional degrees together.\nThis is the highest in the world (Because our salaries are better not because we educate people better or are smarter)\nMajor countries with similar educational expectations (that is the level of education the average person attains over a life time)  for children born there include: United Kingdom (England, etal., world's highest), Australia , Spain, Switzerland, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Republic of Korea (South), Libya, Netherlands, New Zeeland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden. Given the total population of all these countries v the remaining world population, it is safe to say less than one in 1,000 people in the world holds a PhD and given that population growth rates are higher in ares other than those countries named it is unlikely to improve.


Every time a Christian does something wrong there is a chorus of He/She isn't a "True Christian". Yet their belief structure says we are all damned sinners, If we are all sinners who are the "True Christians"?

I'm a true Christian and so is anyone else that follows the message of Jesus (The Christed One).\n\nIt's not about sin or damnation, but love and acceptance.


I recenly went to the dentist about a week ago.that wast the first in about 10 years because growing up I never had the insurance. I do have a few cavities to be filled and my front 2 teeth need to be capped because they are prettly bad..The problem is i have to wait until the 29th of june to get anything done? is this to long? its the only opening avialable I guess but i thought if you had a lot of problems with your teeth that they would try to get you in sooner.. expeically since i haven't been to a dentist in so long.do you think this is okay that they would make my appointed so far ahead? can my teeth get worse in that amount of time? I just want to be able to save my 2 front teeth without having to get them pulled? what to you think? should i just wait and stick with the appointment? or should i call to get in sooner..I think it takes so long because it is a place which accepts medical assistance and they are always booked...but i really want to get my teeth fixed..sick of waitin

Call around to find another dentist but most won't touch you these days if you have not been to the dentist. This is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Nothing hurts worse than a toothache. You will need more than one appointment.\n\nGood luck!\nG.G.

I spent some time over there as an infantryman.  I want to know if there is still anyone left that is still behind US, THE SOLDIERS?

Yes, 100% my husband was over there the first time, it is a hard thing, and you give up much while you're over there. You are what makes this country great. You should be commended and thanked for your great service not only to the American people but to the people of those countries over there. I think that people can't grasp what it's all about unless they've been part of the military and lived in other places. It is when you are given those opportunities that you understand just what it means to have the freedoms that we have. THANK YOU for your SERVICE to our GREAT COUNTRY!!!!!

This question is miscategorized.\n\nSpecial Education refers to the education and parenting of children with special needs.


babies cant talk and confess their beliefs right? as i can see it's totally out of scripture.

It isn't just Roman Catholics who baptize infants. Many Protestant denominations do it as well. Here's why:\n\nUnder the Old Testament, the outward sign of membership in the covenant nation was circumcision (Genesis 17). It was applied to male children when they were only 8 days old. It was no guarantee of eternal salvation though. Both Isaac and Ishmael were circumcised, but only Isaac was elect of God. Both Jacob and Esau were circumsized, but only Jacob received the spiritual inheritance.\n\nUnder the NEW Testament, baptism has "replaced" circumcision as the outward sign of membership in the covenant community (see Hebrews 9, Colossians 2:11-12, Romans 4:11-12, 1st Corinthians 7:14). Like circumcision, the outward sign is no guarantee that the inward man is elect of God! Rather it identifies that child as a member of the community of faith and entitles him or her to all the benefits of that community (the teaching, the oversight, the discipline, the word, etc).\n\nExamples of household baptisms in the Scripture include Cornelius' family (Acts 10), Lydia's family (Acts 16:15), the Philippian jailer's family (Acts 16:33), Crispis' family (Acts 18:8), and Stephanas (1st Corinthians 1:16).\n\nInfant baptism was not "invented" centuries after Christianity was founded. Infant baptism was the CONTINUATION of the covenant sign to believers and their children.

Watching the news and people around me, in Oklahoma City, I am originally for San Diego, CA, I am almost afraid to meet people now-a-days because of the lack of morals I see in almost everyone I know.  I am a 28 year old black female and the people that I most trust are my co-worker at a patent law firm who 45-50 years old.  What is happening with my age group and younger that there seems to be more moral standing. Anyone have thoughts for me?  Thanks!

I know what you mean.I used to say everyone is my friend until they prove wrong ,,now its like,,no one is my friend til they prove right.lol. The values & morals of many seem to be declining in this country.Is it the up-bringing?Society?Lack of education? Or just lack of common sense?There doesnt seem to be any structure in some young lives.No goals,,no dreams.


how does ozone depeltion and the green house effect help each other to produce conditions in which humans and plants would find it difficult to live?

Ozone (O3) reflects/scatters ultraviolet radiation back into space.  However, if it is depeleted, this radiation makes it past the atmosphere and down to the surface.  The amount of shorter wavelength (higher energy) radiation passing through the atmosphere would increase, causing higher mortality rates from skin related ailments and can also destroy plant tissue.  Also, this radiation would heat the earth more since it carries more energy with it.  This is not usually a problem, since this thermal radiation currently passes back into space.  However, with pollution clouds/dust being more prominent, it would reflect the thermal radiation back down to earth's surface, driving the temperature up even more.


MY LAPTOP OS A DELL INSPIRON 2200 AND I WANNA CONNECT IT TO MY LCD TV. BUT I DONT HAVE S-VIDEO ON MY LAPTOP. THE OTHER CABLE THAT IM USING TO CONNECT IT TO OUR TV IS NOT WORKING THO.

laptop computers can be a rather tricky buy at times, I would suggest that you look out for the cheapest and yet \n\nlatest desktop on the market, the best way to do this is on what they call warehouse sale markets some of them \n\nare also online.\n\nthese warehouse owners have a service where they sell laptop computers to normal customers like you and me, \n\nhowever with very reduced prices due to the fact that they do not have as much costs as normal shops do, such \n\nas rent and a shop, as you know most online shops have rather competitive prices sometimes cutting the costs to \n\na half.\n\none such website for laptop computers is :\n\nhttp://ultimatemg.atspace.com/laptop.htm\n\nalternatively I also suggest that you look into the desktop computer market at the moment you can find warehouse \n\nsale desktops at this site too very cheaply :\n\nhttp://ultimatemg.atspace.com/computer.htm


Any other info is appreciated too... :D Also, I'm not sure how to go to a meeting...Just show up?

Weight Watchers here in CT has just gone up to $12 per meeting.  However, they do have coupon books that you can buy at a discount (It's 10 coupons, for $100or so, for a savings of $2 per week).  Also, they have 17 week season passes, which they just offered for spring.  17 weeks for $149, or $8.77 per meeting.  Registration is sometimes free, but most of the time they charge.  Right now it's $20.\n\nThey have 2 plans, flex and core... the flex plan is easiest to follow when just starting out.  You count the number of "points" certain foods are worth, and track how much you've used for the day.  It's roughly 50 calories per point, less is there's more fat, more if there's more fiber.  I would recommend starting on the flex plan.  I've stayed with it for the whole time I've been going, and as of Saturday I've lost 74.4 pounds.  So it does work, if you keep with it.  Group support and meetings are one of the keys, though.\n\nI hope you can get to go, and yes, you just show up and register there.  They usually have a wide variety of times to make it easy for anyone to go.  I like going in the morning because that way I weigh in before breakfast.  I also try to wear the same general outfit, for consistency.  But I am borderline OCD, so that's just me.\n\nFor more information, check out their web site for locations and times.


what are the chances of gettin hiv if you give oral to a man but there is no semen  or pre semen?my body gets immune to cold pills really easy..if you get immune to things really quick doesnt your body get immune to the virus hiv just as easily?

Oral sex is pretty low risk for getting HIV.  The risk from it seems to come if you have cuts or sores in your mouth, like if you have canker sores, have bitten your cheeks, etc.  \n\nAnd you don't become immune to cold pills - I am not sure what that means.\n\nAnd you can't get immune to HIV.  I think you are panicking and youdon't have reason to.\n\nYou really should educate yourself about this before you have any sexual contact with anyone again, so you don't have to go through this every time.\n\nCheck out the sites listed above, and the one I have listed.


I saw the film of the Code and want to join the Da Vinci religion.  Where are the church of this group?

Please be advised that religion has no color.  Possibly, you may find solace in the information provided below:\n\nVOCATION AND MEMBERSHIP:\n\nIn "Vocation to Opus Dei as Vocation in the Church," Fernando Ocariz (Opus Dei in the Church 1994) says that within the baptismal vocation of all Christians to become holy, the Catholic faithful of Opus Dei have a specific vocation of spreading the knowledge of the universal call to holiness while they strive to sanctify their work. Opus Dei members, he says, have "one vocation," because they are called to have the same apostolic aim, practice the same spirit and ascetical means, and receive the same training. Due to this "oneness of vocation," Ocariz says Opus Dei has the atmosphere of a Christian family, where the faithful call the prelate "the Father."\n\nBecause the vocation is the same for all the faithful, there are no degrees of membership. There are, however, different ways of living that same Christian vocation, according to the different circumstances of each one: married, single, healthy or sick, etc. Unlike religious or consecrated persons, the members of Opus Dei are incorporated into the prelature by means of private contracts and not vows. To be incorporated into the Opus Dei prelature, one must freely ask to do so, convinced that one has received a vocation.\n\nThe majority of the faithful of Opus Dei are supernumeraries, who currently account for about 70% of the total. Generally they are married men or women, for whom the sanctification of their family duties is their "most important business" and their "path to holiness," in the words of Escrivá. Supernumeraries are not as available as the other faithful in the prelature for administrative tasks, but lend assistance as their circumstances permit. According to Vittorio Messori, in Opus Dei, "supernumeraries represent the 'normal,' the most frequent vocation in statistical terms, and in them is seen most clearly the purpose of Opus Dei—to Christianize the world from the inside through people of the world who are not worldly."\n\nThe rest of the faithful of the prelature are men and women who commit themselves to celibacy for apostolic reasons. Numeraries, who comprise less than 20% of the faithful, are usually able to live in centers of Opus Dei. Their circumstances allow them to be more available to attend to the apostolic undertakings and the training of the other faithful of the prelature. Like all the rest, they carry out their professional work in the middle of the world. For a few of them, this could involve directing the apostolic activities of the prelature for a span of time. Numerary assistants are women of Opus Dei whose professional work is to look after the domestic needs of its centres. Escrivá liked to call their work "the apostolate of apostolates," since it provides the foundation of the prelature's apostolic efforts. Associates live with their families or wherever is convenient for professional and personal reasons. It is generally from the numeraries and associates that the prelate calls men to the priesthood. The Priestly Society of the Holy Cross is an association of clergy intrinsically united to Opus Dei that fosters personal sanctification, brotherhood among priests and unity with their own bishop.\n\nCooperators of Opus Dei are non-members who collaborate with the faithful of Opus Dei by praying, giving alms or providing assistance to the prelature. \n\nINSTRUCTION AND TRAINING:\n\nA Christian becomes a saint, according to Opus Dei's founder, through God's grace and mercy, and through the use of some principal means of sanctification: (1) interior life, activities turned into contemplation, which Jesus Christ calls "the one thing necessary" (Lk 10:42), and (2) doctrinal training, a well-reasoned understanding of God and his ordered work as revealed in the Catholic faith. Escrivá say

Tell me why when you are having a conversation with a man or make a comment he associates it with sex.

I'd love to know this too. My boyfriend does it all the time weather were having a serious conversation or not, the subect always gets turned into sex without fail. I could put money on it I'd be a millionaire.


and the board it could be smaller what do you think

think you're confusing it with throwing a javelin at an archery target!

I wanted to study and do research in USA because of getting alot ispiration byw atching research documentry films from my childhood. I don't have any money to get admision even in my own country so i m working after my college studies. I think USA will loose a brain that wants to learn and serve the nation instead of serving himself.\nYeah i know that USA have alot of talented brains who think for their country and one asian brain doesn't matter for them. Is there some lack of thinking or practice is me or USA really have no need of me??????

The USA needs you! We all need you. Its you who have to believe in yourself and fight to make your dreams come true!!!  Follow the wisdom of this words that I found in an indian site:\n\nThe four-letter words of success:\n\nI "CARE" about myself, my future, my life.\nI "WANT" to change, have a better life; I WANT a chance!\nI "WISH" the best for others and myself.\nI "DARE" to be different because that is what it will take to get ahead, be happy, and be somebody.\nI "LOVE" myself, my friends, and those who have been good to me.\nI am not afraid to "WORK"—if that's what it takes to get somewhere in life, I am willing to "WORK" hard to get there!\nI want to "GAIN" all the knowledge, schooling, and training I can so I can be ready to be chosen in the future.\nI will "PRAY" for strength, vision, and hope; I will "PRAY" when things get hard for me.\nI will "STOP" putting myself down, making fun of others, and doing ill to myself and others.\nI want to be "TRUE" to those who trust me, rely on me, and respect me!


What clothes should I wear for the first day of class?\nIs my appearance important aspect?\nHow should I react or behave in this new college?

You should wear what you usually wear.  If it's something "professional", great.  If not, that's great too.  I had people show up for my first class in sweats and a tank top - and they were some of the most interesting, and most successful, people in the class.  It's not about what you wear, it's about the attitude you present.  Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to the people you're sitting next to - odds are they're just as nervous as you are.  Ask them where they're from, what they're majoring in, why they chose this college, etc.  Class is one of the best places to meet new people - and it's always nice to know people in your class, should you miss a day, or need help with homework.  Most of all - have FUN!  College is some of the best years of your life - don't waste them being nervous!


it is spelled to be said com-four-tah-bowl but people say it in a different way. i have no idea how to say it! write the pronounciation in a simple way, please!!

"comf'terbul" has a perfectly logical explanation and is an acceptable pronunciation (as is "comf'tebul")\n\nAnd why don't pronounce it "the way it's written"?  Because language simply doesn't always work that way.  And so I don't say "I-run" for "iron"; and the "t" that I pronounce in "soft" I do NOT pronounce in the form "soften" (even though it is written that way and even COMES from "soft").\n\n--------------------\n\nThis sort of re-ordering of the sounds of a word --called "METATHESIS"--  is very common in language.  It may come about by confusion, but often it happens simply because the expected form is more difficult to pronounce.    In some cases the change is considered ignorant or at least non-standard, in other instances it is the (or a) ACCEPTED pronounciation.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metathesis_(linguistics)\n\n\nExamples in English:\n1) incorrect/nonstandard:\n  "nuclear" -- pronounced as "nucular" (by educated people as well... including THREE Presidents in recent times --not just GW but Carter & Eisenhower)\n  "ax" for "ask"  (though actually BOTH forms are found in the Middle English of Chaucer)\n\n2) correct:\n  "iron" -- pronounced "i-urn"  In fact, does ANYONE say "i-ron"?  On the other hand, we DO keep the sounds in their written order in the suffixed form "ironic".  (We do the same with "irony", though it's acceptable, or at least permitted, to say "i-urnee" --as we do with "ironing".   Thus, the most important factor seems to be where the word is ACCENTED.)\n\n3) debated but probably correct\nThe example of "iron" vs. "ironic" --that is, changing the pronounciation based on where the accent falls (often related to whether there is a suffix or not)--  helps explain why we SAY "comfort"  but "comfturble".    There are two conflicting "laws" at work here. In our spelling, we do not change the base when we add the suffix "able".   But the change in the PHONOLOGY (sound pattern) pushes us to SAY the word in a way that is much easier to pronounce.  \n\nHere's how it happens.  Note that the syllable in question --"fort"--  has a slight accent in "comfort" but almost NO accent when we add the "able" suffix.  In English, adding suffixes frequently shifts or reduces accent of certain syllables.  When a syllable loses accent, the vowel typically is shortened; in an UN-accented syllable it may end up as the 'swallowed', unaccented "schwa" sound, or even completely disappear.  But this leaves us with the unaccented combination "frt" which is more difficult or at least less natural to pronounce.    The natural solution is to simplify the pronounciation, either by skipping the "r" sound (which leads some to say "comf'-tubly") or to reverse sounds ("metathesis") and say "comf'turbly".\n\n------------------\n\n(Frankly, I suspect the pronunciation "com-four-tab-ly" is  a hypercorrection.   Some people say it that way BECAUSE of the spelling, whereas the SPOKEN language long ago changed the pronounciation.  But spelling is NOT always a sure guide to the spoken language.  Based on SPELLING, some people improperly pronounce the t in "often", not recognizing that the "t" is from the short form "oft" and is LOST when -en is added . . . as in soft > soften, compare list > listen; haste > hasten, etc.)\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercorrection\n\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nIncidentally, this process or metathesis explains the origins of some modern English words.   Old English had "brid", now it is "bird";  Old English &quo


A plethora of authors wrote the Bible. It is contrary to Church teaching to say that God wrote the Bible. It is understood that the books of the Bible are inspired by God.

Tough call.... I can't choose between Abbey Road and Sgt. Pepper's. They both rock.


I'm comparing the ethical values of the Aeneid to the ethical values of Christianity - Do Christian ethics support the sacrafice of the individual for the greater good? or put the highest emphasis on human life and the individual?

While Christianity feels all human life is holy and a gift from God, the Christian ethics have no problem with a person risking or giving up his life for the sake of others. This is what Jesus did. This is not considered suicide.\n\nA completely different and more complicated question is whether it is ethical to kill one person to save many. I don't think this would be ethical, "The end does not justify the means."\n\nWith love in Christ.


I was given some money from my grandfather to invest, and in doing so gain some knowledge about the stock market itself. If there is anything that you can tell me on where to begin, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I would not buy stock options they are too risky, especially for beginners. I would recommend the following approach:\n\nFirst, I would make sure you have at least 3 months salary saved up in the bank or in a money market fund for an emergency fund. Financial disasters like getting layed off or sick happen to all of us.\nSecond, I would pay off all high interest debt. Pay off everything you can except the house mortgage. Paying off debt is one of the best investments you can make. You will have more money in the future because you won't have credit card bills to pay.\nThird, if you have money left, start investing in stocks, bonds, and money market funds.  You want to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, as individual stocks are too risky.  For most folks this means buying mutual funds. I like Vanguard.com, other people like Fidelity, TIAA-CREF, and DFA. Buy no-load, low cost funds. If you are like most people you will invest part of your money conservatively, in money market funds and bond funds, and part aggressively in stock funds. Vanguard.com has an on-line questionnaire which will give you an idea how aggressive you want to be. \nInvesting in a mutual fund IRA for retirement may give you an income tax break. Talk to your tax adviser. You may also be able to invest in a stock mutual fund via a 401K plan at work.\nBelieving someone you met over the Internet and know nothing about is risky. Read these websites for further information.

I need to know urgently who sings "Wicked Love" in the movie "Cradle Of Fear" \nhelp urgently needed!\nThank You!


Do they know all the details or would they rather forget about the whole thing? Your honest opinion here no bs please.

Yes we do. This is why we are so weary of war and destruction now.  I'm sure there are people that would rather forget about this. Most of the time it is the older generation that lived through that horror and are just tired of hearing about it over and over again.\nMost German kids will visit a concentration camp with their class at some point. This is done to help us understand the horrors and as a warning to never allow something like this to ever happen again.  The concentration camps are set up as museums now and are very graphic. Believe me, I will never forget that feeling when I stood in those gas chambers that looked like big shower rooms. I was in 9th grade then and it feels like it was yesterday.  I remember the mood in our entire class was very depressed and somber as we left that day.\nSo, Germany as a whole will never want to forget what happened back then.  But of course there a black sheep everywhere, so are the Neo-Nazis.  Usually when there is a Neo-Nazi gathering anywhere in Germany, there are always large demonstrations against them.


Van Halen is one of my fave rock band of all time.\n\nI heard the news yesterday David Lee Roth is planning to re unite Van Halen, that would be awesome. Hope Eddie and the others accept him, cant wait for their new stuff.

It feels like summer already. I'm a male, I live one a first floor, last week, I was trying to beat the heat by being naked with the window open. I was watching TV, then suddenly I hear a noise, and notice my next door male neighbor on the second looking at me. As soon as I looked up, he immediately turned away from the window. By the way he turned away, I think he had been staring for quite a while. I've been with the window closed ever since, even if it's still hot. I don't want to run into my neighbor, but it's bound to happen. What should I do?

Well you may feel dirty for being naked with the window open, but your neighbor is ten times dirtier for staring at you.  Don't be afraid to run into him;  if the topic ever comes up, don't try to defend yourself for leaving your window open, instead ask him what he was doing peeking at you.


University of Wyoming; Southern Oregon University; and Eastern Oregon University. If so, what did you like of dislike about the school?

Wyoming is a party school...I grew up there and several of my friends go there.  Laramie is kind of a cool little town but make friends with the local hospital because you will likely suffer from alcohol poisoning at some point if you go there.


Apocalypse. This fight won't even take more than 5 minutes if Apocalypse wanted. First of all I have to say that Wolverine is one of the best mutants out there. Plus he has his healing factor, which helps him all the time when he fights. However, the power that Apocalypse has it's unmeasurable. He in not only the oldest and baddest mutant alive but he is immortal as well. He can change shape, size, he can teleport, live without food, air, water, he can blast, oh man, what can't Apocalypse do. So all those said, even if some people might argue that if Apocalypse blasts off Wolverine, he might heal, then all Apocalypse has to do is to teleport Wolverine on a planet without air, or a deserted one. If not, he could just make Wolverine give all that he has until he passes out of tierdness. \n\nWinner: Apocalypse

Re-scan using the above three tools until your system is clean.\n\nGood luck, and hope this helps!


Because they are wired to breed and procreate they cannot understand a partnership between two people not being based on that basic biological drive?  What do you think.  I've alway's undertood that in a very general sense people are threatened by things that they cannot make sense of and cannot make go away.  Myself included.  So could this be the reason for so many straight people fixated on the issue?

Biologically predisposed? HELL NO!It's upbringing in a society filled with hypocrisy.This form of prejudice is just that prejudice.Where does prejudice come from? IGNORANCE!Why would anyone truly care how one has SEX?Why would you want that kind of control on how one lives their life?You have to think,every straight person does not have sex to procreate!If that was the case,why is there birth control?People don't stop having sex after children?IT'S ALL CONTROL!


She seems to flunt her body sometime when Im around, She finally talked to me today just out of the blue, but she has somewhat of a boyfriend that she is on and off with>? Sometimes I catch her staring , but she is showing me mixed signals..   I must get over this shyness..

Try Vanguard for mutual funds , or Scotttrade if you have some trading abilities.


ok, a few weeks ago, this girl i was dating said she just wanted to be friends. today we talked for the first time in a few weeks, just about general stuff, i can tell she wants a relationship, but i dont know why shes holding back. i was nice to her and did things with her. she did mention somthing about her past relationship. is she afraid of getting hurt by me, or is she really shy. i wish i knew  what was goin on inside her head. i like her alot, i just want to make her feel safe and happy with me. any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated.

That does sounds pretty tough.  Here's some advice:\n\nLet things go by her time.  Relationships are the definitely the result of a mutual interest and effort to get closer to each other.  You have that desire, and now she just needs to spend some time with you to see that you have it, and then she needs to discover for herself if she is willing. \n\nAt the same time, you don't want to completely leave the ball in her court.  Girls don't like that anyways, even though that is often what happens.  When you call her, make sure she knows that YOU will call her back.  When you hug her, you let go first.  You know what I mean? Good luck.

We have a faux drawer front on our kitchen cabinets....it fell of this weekend and hit one of my toes. The toe is not swollen, and is only bruised around the edge of the nail. I will probably lose the nail, but I am looking for what to do for the pain. It is very sore, and the best way I can describe it is that it feels like needles and it burns constantly. Anything touching it (even water in the pool) is painful...any tips on what works?

Well unfortunately if you broke it, you can't set a toe, so you just have to wait for it to heal. I would take 800mg of Advil or some Tylenol.  Elevating your foot as much as possible sure would help too, since the blood flow will only make the pain worse.  Sorry you did that! Nothing hurts much worse that doing that to your toe! OUCH!


I want to save these pics from the internet but they are all GIF files, and it wont let me view them once i save them..

when you save them, it asks you what to save it as. Below it is a box that says (for you) GFI*// or something. Click on that and a list of other files will pop up. When you choose your file, just click on it and save it like you normally would.


How many thousand of years did it take man from eves time to adapt features as we have of the Negroes, semites, Orients etc from all over the continents.\nDid the sons of God really produce offspring with the sons of men as the Bible mentioned. Did other permutation occur else where in pst times???

My buddy, nice guy, about 23 years old, has a sensative stomache. When he eats seafood, he gets sick and eventually has to vomit, afterwards, he produces a lot of mucus and spits it up all over the damn place! Also, when he has dairy products, he produces a lot of mucus. He says he doesnt have any stomache irratation or discomfort (for example, pain or diarhea) except for the vomiting reaction and the mucus. Can anyone explain why this happens to him? Is there anything he can take to avoid this problem (asside from not eating seafood or dairy)? Thanks!

Sorry, but it sounds like he has allergic reactions to these two food groups.  Only treatment is avoidance.  Given his severe symptoms, he should be motivated to do so!


my bf family is pretty nice to me, we sit outside and talk alot i take them where ever they need to go because their vehicle is down right now, they are cool people, his sister and i walk alot but she talks about alot of people that suppose to be her friend she also talks about her relatives, when all of us are on the porch, they are constantly talking about people behind their backs even their relatives, a relative a her 3 kids are staying with them for a week and all they have been doing is talking about her behind her back, although i am nice to them, do you think they are talking about me behind my back, i think they do, it obvious, i just wonder what they be saying

If they're bad mouthing other people behind their backs, then you can be certain they're doing the same about you when you're not around.  I think a little bit of gossip is okay, just as long as you don't go overboard.  Let's face it, we all do it once in a while.  But I think your instincts are telling you that his sister is not to be trusted, and I think that's right.  I'd be careful what I say around her.  Don't do what she does and talk about other people when with her.  Maybe someday she'll take the hint.


Anyone out there recovering from an eating disorder and are having a hard time not falling back in to it?

Whether you know it or not, you never truly get over an eating disorder, whether it's over or under eating. Eating disorders are addictive.It takes A LOT of self discipline. I would recommend either finding a support group in your area or going to counseling. Even if you call a local hospital, they can give you some assistance and advice on what to do. \n\nI wish you the best of luck


Religion of Peace?\n\nIran \n•Ruhollah Rowhani, 52, was executed in 1998 for converting to the Baha'i faith from Islam. The US State Department has called on Iran "to protect the lives of 15 other imprisoned Baha'is. Three of them, Ata'ullah Hamid Nasirizadih, Sirus Dhabih- Magadamme and Hidayad Kashifi, have already been sentenced to death. \n•The Reverend Mehdi Dibaj had converted from Islam to Christianity 45 years ago. On 21/12/93 he was sentenced to death on charges of apostasy. Released on appeal his body was found on 5 July 1994. The Reverend Haik Mehr, Superintendent of the Church of the Assemblies of God, who had campaigned against Dibaj's death sentence was found dead on 20/1/94. On 2 July 1994 the body of the Reverend Tatavous Michaelian, Chairman of the Council of Protestant Ministers in Iran was found with several gun shots to the head.

They are murdered just as the book of lies tells them to do.

I'm a 56 - year old man. While I am well-liked as a friend among the ladies, no one seems to want to get any closer than that. Any ideas on how I can deal with this?

It is always increasingly difficult to find a new relationship the older we get.\nIf you are well-liked as a friend then that is a bonus as many people can't even get friendship.\nHave you considered asking a close woman friend why she thinks you are having trouble? sometimes just seeing yourself from the womans point of view can be a great help.\n\nAre you coming across as desperate? maybe they think you don't care who you with and will settle for anyone that can be off-putting.\nI think you need to build up your feelings of self worth and self respect also cos to describe yourself as unattractive shows you don't think much of yourself.\n\nYou need to make the most of these friendships and get advice from any of the women you trust and realise that just like in job interviews you have to sell yourself to potential new friendships no-one wants to feel they are "better than nothing"

i need to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. im 5'2 and 118. how many ours of excersise a day and what should i eat? i need to because i might be goin on my holiday

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

will my child be stronger than if i didnt work out or will he just be like if i didnt work out, just reular genes...

they won't get your strength, but working out, aside from being healthy in itself, would give you an idea of just how muscular you can become.  some people work out forever, and it barely shows, or the other way around.  my advice- give it a shot; it can't hurt, and while your baby won't be born with bulging biceps, they'll pick up some good habits and will know their potential.  just don't overdo it.  moderation and balance, and all that.


Not everyone voted for Bush. A little over half our country was stupid enough to vote for him. Also, there were many voting irregularities that occurred in Ohio and Florida.  He is probably the most inarticulate and moronic President in American history. It is not brains you need to be president. You need to come from a powerful wealthy family, and have a father who also served as President...and high power friends who own huge corporations.


YES, I am Chirstian and I am lost and need some guideness once again. How do you know when GOD answers your prayers and sends you signs? How will I know when he is speaking to me? How do you/we know?

First of all, be more specific. For what are you asking?\n\nGod doesn't always let you win the lottery because God knows that inherently humans are stupid and we would probably not use the money for a good cause. \n\nIf God doesn't make your spouse come back to you, it's because you will find something better on down the line that you never saw coming.  That's what happened to me.  My husband left me and I had a nervous breakdown and lost 60 pounds and could not actually live.  Then by pure luck, chance (or God's ultimate wisdom) I met the quite literally perfect man for me, married him and we are living happily ever after (thank God).  Shoot, and there I'd prayed for God to bring back my husband!  See what I would've gotten if God had said "okey doke!"\n\nYou may not know when God is speaking to you.  I always get a chill when I know God is looking over my shoulder.  When I pray something through, I feel an overwhelming peace and know that I can just let it go now, that it's not going to haunt me.  Keep praying until you feel like you have received the peace of knowing your request has not fallen on deaf ears.


The reason the NRA is becoming RADICAL is because if you are not RADICAL about something nowadays the do gooders will make it to were you can not even own a BB gun.\nThe day I meet some dumb ass that says they would rather die than shoot someone in self defense is the day I will know this country has turned into a bunch of panzies that the rest of the world will soon defeat.\nWe have the right to bear arms to protect ourselves and to keep our government in check. \nI know everyone thinks that our government is to strong to keep in check but if that ever needs to happen all of you panzies that want guns taken away will be very glad that some of us still know how to aim and have the courage to fire.


there is this guy in the house opposite to mine he keeps staring at me in the day n night from his room when i m in my balcony this is going on since 4 months  sometimes he smiles at me now even i have started liking him n feels like seeing him the whole day so should i also look at him or smile or sholud i wait for his act \ni know he is a bit shy none of us have ever talked to each other \nbut now i think i cant live without him  so tell me wat should i do to make this relationship...

There is nothing wrong to smile back to a neighbor who appears friendly to you (unless you don't like him or think he looks like a stalker to you). If you think he's shy but you can make a move on first, you can ask him some questions like "How long have you lived here", "Do you have any sibling", "Where are you studying/working"... There is nothing wrong to learn more about a neighbor. Just take him as a friend/neighbor first to know each other more. Don't get too emotionally with him first because it will give you too much pressure to communicate with him and prevent you from really understanding who he is. If you talk with him more and understand him more, you'll know whether he is the one you're really looking for and how compatible both of you are. Try to ask some questions that can reveal his personality (i.e. introvert vs. extrovert, rational vs. feeling, informative vs. intuitive) such as "What would you like to do in your leisure time"? "Which kind of movie/book do you like", "Do you have any favorite kind of sport"? etc.. You can even elaborate your conversation with him by asking more details around the subject or his answer. If he has answered something that you also feel interested in, keep it on and see how much common ground you both have.\n\nYou may also try to ask something that can reveal what he likes/dislikes such as "What kind of food do you like", "Do you have any pet"? If so, what is it and why not the others? Just treat him as a friend first. It may take some time to learn about someone. If he really likes you and want you to be more than a friend, he will ask you out. If you think he is really compatible with you and both of you are ready to date, go on and enjoy the time with him!\n\nGood luck!

okay here is what you do based on the info you gave.\ncalculate the %Mn of MnO2 by dividing the atomic mass of Mn by the total formula mass of MnO2 *100%.\nrepeat for the Mn(NO3)2 compound.\nthe difference is mass decrease (i.e. %Mn is higher in MnO2)


I recently found out first-hand that a man is able to ejaculate when he isn't even erect. I thought I was working on getting him ready and he was done! Prior to this he was acting very excited and sexually aggressive, so I was surprised to see that he wasn't hard yet when the clothes came off. What was THAT all about?\n\nThe guy is in his late 40's and physically fit/healthy.

It is possible to come to orgasm without an erection.  This is the norm for men after Prostate surgery, RRP.  It is one form of impotence and is correctable with a doctors aid.  Pills, Muse, injections, or VED are some of the ways to overcome the situation.

I am forming a non-profit organization in Pennsylvania.  My articles of incorporation are complete, but that's it.  Does my board of directors  have to be formed along with the by-laws and other things before I can hold my first meeting?

AT LEAST have a copy or powerpoint of your mission statement and goals for the next 5 years.  Unless your first meeting is an "I'm so excited lets just get together and brainstorm because I'd like input before I finish the by-laws"  But I would say you'd look incomplete without having them done.

I am wanting to send something to California from Australia but also include a self addressed stamped envelope to ensure a reply but my post office here cant help me.

you can actually contact the US postal service and buy the postage online, just print it and put it in your envelope, that is the easiest way! go to the USPS website: www.USPS.com


What should i do? I have liked her for 5 years. I have said what i feel to her but she always try to change topics and sometimes she angry when i start to talk about this. I am too shy to talk to her and so does she but i can contact her with sms. She never answer my phone to her cellphone, but one time i try to call her to her house phone and when she talk to me, she looks so shy and can't say anything. On that time i ask her to go to the mall with me and of course our friends. What she can say is just "I don't know". Just that sentence. What should i do? Can you give me any advices. Thanks...

Real easy. Tell her you are interested and ask her to dinner. If she's not game, she's probably not interested. If you're direct and assertive her shyness won't get in the way. Don't ask her to come out with you and your friends, either.  You want to make yourself clear that you want a romantic dinner.\n\nDon't worry so much about rejection.  It happens.


If a guy and a girl act almost exactly the same..so much they fight alot.They dont have alot of the same interests..but they know how to make eachother mad.Do they have any chance that they can be togeather at all?

yes its possible, and its definetly better then being opposites but dont get each other mad that much


I met him online, we hit it off instantly. He pursued me like crazy even though I put it off for awhile, because of our big age difference  ( He being the younger one )We became an item and was inseperable.He phoned me every night AFTER talking online, we spoke on the phone 5~7 hours more. We had a very sweet relationship.We fell in love.Then the bubble burst..one day he disappered offline, no one knew where he was.What he didnt know was that 3 weeks earlier I had * 69 his number one night after talking to him( it was private and I didnt have it ~HE would do all the phoning) so when he disappered naturally I called him ~He spoke and denied it was him.Meanwhile through *relatives* he got word out that he had a breakdown and was in a mental hospital.But that wasnt true i.e the phone call I made and he answered.When he *came back* things were different.We had a big blow up and bad things were said .He hates me now ~ I love him still.I dreampt of him 2x b4 we even met.Can love return again

Love can return. It takes a lot, but I don't see why you would want this if he would never give his number to you, deny straight to you that it was him, lie to you he was in an institution & then abandon you by going offline. I think it's a good thing that he disappeared like this & didn't wait until it had gone too far. I think that you should just move on & try to find someone else. I know those long hours & hour phone calls can be very bonding, & it's hard to let go, but look what he has done to you & you've never met him in person yet! (lied, lied, abandon, & hide stuff).\nI think that he didn't really love you as much as you loved him if he can just jump offline & never think of you again.\nGood luck when you decide to move on

swahili is a lingua franca used mostly in east africa countries,it is a national language in Tanzania and Kenya.

The only languages offered there are French, German, Italian, and Spanish.  Good luck finding that language in a school -- only the biggest universities have a wide enough selection to offer it.  I know that University of Alabama offers it, but it is one of over 60 languages offered there.  Unfortunately, it's not a common language in American schools.


Can someone try to explain this in terms that I can understand.

With algebra you have to balance each side of the equals sign. You can only add or subtract like kinds (think of all the x numbers as apples and all the plain numbers as pears). You want to get all the pears on one side and all the apples on the other.  If you move a figure from one side to the other, you have to do the opposite - eg, moving +8 to the right side makes it -8 and so on.\n\n5x + 8 + 3x - x + 5 = 6x -3\n5x - 6x + 3x -x = -3 -5 -8\nx = -16\n\nTo check it, go back to your original equation and replace the x with -16 and work out both sides (which both come to -99) so you know you are correct when you say x = -16.\n\nHope this makes it a little clearer\n\nJust thought I should add an extra note as not sure how confused you are about algebra.  The thing to remember is that x just replaces an unknown number - you could use d, e, y, "fred" - anything, so 2x just means there are 2 lots of the unknown number (x), eg, 2 multiplied by x could just mean 2 multiplied by 3.  The point is to find out what the x is representing.  In the case of your question the x represents the unknown number -16, ie, x = -16.

three guys go on buisness trip they split the coast of the room it 30 dollars a night for the room they rent it for one night the the manager realizes that he over charged them the room was 25 dollars a night so he gives the bellhop five dollars and tell to spilt it between the three guy evenly now he can't figure out how too do this so gives he gives them each back 1 dollar and keeps 2 dollars if each got back one dollar then each man only paid 9 dollars for the room right 3X9=27 the bellhop keeps 2 dollars 28 29 where did the missing go

There isnt any money missing.  The men paid 30 dollars originally-$10 per person.  When the bellhop returned a dollar to each of them, that means that they paid a total of 27 dollars.  So, the motel got 25 of the dollars, and the bellhop kept 2 dollars.  Thats 27 dollars-nothing is missing.  The problem is that in the question you are adding the 2 dollars the bellhop kept to the 27 dollars the men paid, and that is logically wrong- You add the 2 dollars the bellhop kept to the 25 dollars paid to the motel.\n\nEach man did not pay 8.33-that makes no sense at all.  They each paid 10 dollars and got one back..simple math, they each paid 9 dollars.  Look at it a different way- forget that they paid 30 dollars to begin with, because that doesnt matter.  What they ended up paying is 27 dollars- 25 to the hotel, and 2 to the bellhop.\n*edit* Believe me, this question has been around a loooong time-they didn't each pay $8.33- use your logical mind for a second.  They each paid 10 dollars apiece, and then each got $1 back...how could you possible get to the point that they paid $8.33 from that?? And at any rate, by that illogic, there is still a penny missing.. how could you get a penny missing when the only thing that changed hands were dollars.  They each paid 9 dollars-thats a total paid out of 27 dollars.  25 to the hotel, 2 to the bellhop.  It's easy...don't get trapping the the illogical step of adding the bellhop's $2 to the patrons $27.  The patrons *don't have* 27 dollars, they have exactly $3!!. So, $25 to the hotel, $3 to the guests, and $2 to the bellhop-$30.

It has been almost 3 mounts that i didnt saw this guy (he was my usher in a wedding and lots of things went on weird) and things have changed around my life a little around my life and i forgot about him cuz thats what i wanted to do in the first place "FORGET HIM" cuz it was all i wanted to do n it happened in a way, i didnt care about him cuz it was just one night we were both single n we both enjoyed each others company, and some weird things happened between us that day, well i was just doing fine without him and all i was getting the idea of its better like this i dont need him in my life BUT this couple of days it seems like im going back to him. i want him back in a way, and i dont have any comunications with him cuz he knows if he asks he isnt getting any number or anything from me that day, but imma see him again soon in August it is another wedding and he is gonna be there. i wasnt attracted to him but i liked the way he was treathing me. do u have any suggestions?can u help?

ask yourself this question?? Do you want attraction or someone treating you right. I would go for treating you right. They don't make them like that anymore

Aspirin was a herbal medicine until the active ingredient was isolated and properly tested.\nThis is the major problem with the plethora of herbal remedies being promoted and sold at the moment - hardly any of them have been properly tested or found scientifically to have any helpful effect.\nHerbal company profits are not used to fund the research which says something about the companies and probably a lot about the products.\nSome studies that have been done found that there was not even a placebo effect!\nHerbal remedies cannot have a place in modern medicine until they are properly tested and the dosage of the active ingredient determined.\nHave a look here:


Arrange the following in the order of your preference:\n\n1. Parents\n2. Money\n3. Sex\n4. Friends\n5. Love\n6. Religion\n\nI'd be obliged if you order them according to your preference, with 1 being the most important and 6 the least important. \n\nEven men can answer this question.

1. Love (I'm engaged)\n2. Sex  (It's absolutely fantastic)\n3. Friends (I would like to include my parrot and my three chinchillas here)\n4. Money (I have to eat, don't I?)\n5. Family (Parents are divorced so I never see my mother [disowned me] and rarely see my father)\n6. Religion (I'm an atheist)\n\nGood question!


This dude that's white (and yes I'm a black female) told me the other night that he loves me. I asked him how he knew, and he told me it was something he felt. I want to know what he felt and is it possible to love someone when you've only known them for like say...2 months? I'm capbale of loving someone; I just don't know how to I guess.

Well, 2 months is long enough to know if you love someone so it is possible that this guy is in love with you. And his race has nothing to do with anything. He is a fellow human being and that is all that matters. \n\nYour comment about not knowing how to love is interesting. Could it be that you will not allow yourself to love? I noticed you asked if it is 'okay' to love someone outside your race. Almost as though you are asking permission to fall in love - or to love full stop. YES IT IS OKAY!!! But why the heck do you care about the opinions of a bunch of people on this board? We don't know you. Only you know if you could ever love this guy and you don't need permission to love him either. \n\nIf you think he is potential partner material, give in to your feelings and go with the flow. See where things take you. Do not pay attention to anyone who looks down on your relationship in any way (unless, of course, this guy turns out to be abusive in some way). What you do and who you date is no one's business but yours. Just focus on being happy.\n\nEdit: \n\nSinfully_exquisite_stalking - my son is mixed race (yes, my ex was white) and he has no identity issues. If your friends seem mixed up it is because they were brought up by parents who didn't impart any sense of their culture. My son knows his white culture and his black culture. He knows he is mixed race but describes himself as a black man because that is how the world at large views him. But bottom line - while he accepts his heritage (because to deny it would be foolish) he doesn't see colour because like me and his father, he thinks it is irrelevant. If your friends are confused, do them a favour and suggest to them that they do what they can to learn about their heritage.


i got another zit on my face i keep getting them do you know any thing tthatll make it go away?!

Put a little Visine on it during the day, this will take out the redness. At night try drying it up with a little toothpaste.  Please don't try to pop it, it could only make it worse.


I always catch him staring at me and he is realy shy when around me. I really like him but how can I tell, Does he or doesn't he? HELP!

Oooh, sounds like he does! I'd say if he doesn't ask you out within a couple days, you should ask him. ^_^

Massachusetts Institute of Technology has an extensive robotics-related program. Carnegie Mellon is another very good option.
