In the play “Oedipus Rex” written by Sophocles, there is a mysterious man who was seen by a prophet to have a horrible fate. He is first blinded by the truth; he didn't see what the prophet knew was  true, until he had solved three riddles that have been told to him.\n            The first riddle was given to Oedipus by the Sphinx. “You saved us from the Sphinx, that flinty singer” (prologue 38-39). Because he solved the riddle correctly, he saved the town from being destroyed. Therefore, this had led him to his kingship. \n            The second riddle was given to him by the oracle. If he solved this riddle, then the plague in the town would be destroyed, and once again he would be a hero to the people. The riddle he had to solve was who had been the murderer of the previous king, Laius. “He was murdered; and Apollo commands us now to take revenge upon whoever killed him” (prologue 110-11). After he got this riddle, he cursed the murderer for not coming forward. When he was told he was the murderer, he did not wish to accept the facts, until later when he realized they were true.\n            The third riddle was given to him by Teiresias. He asked Oedipus a simple but difficult question, who were his parents. He didn't know what he was asking, because he knew who his parents were. Then he started thinking about it and realized he didn't know who his real parents were. “The song they sang when you came here to Thebes and found your misguided berthing” (1.412-13). Then he was told by his wife that her son was killed because of a prophecy. Later she told him about the murder of the king, and that Oedipus sort of looked like the murdered king Laius. Then a messenger came and told him that he was his wife's child. Another messenger later came and told him that his wife who was also his mother had taken her own life.\n            He had realized the prophecy had come true, and that he had killed his father and married his mother. All three of the riddles resulted in him finding his fate. The result of the first riddle made him marry his mother. The second and third riddles resulted in him finding out that the prophecy was true. He was the one who murdered his father and married his mother.


I got high and i am only 13... i need to know how to tell my mom or should i tell her at all?\nI also need to tell her that i cut and am anorexic... I don't want to tell her... should i?

Trey\nYou totally need to tell your mom.\nThere is no way on the right or wrong way of telling your mom the problems you are dealing with in life.  \n\nOur parents are here to help, protect and love us.  I am a mom and I would want my girls to come to me for anything and everything.  \n\nEspecially if it has to do with drugs, eating disorders and self abuse.  There are reasons you are doing it and you can not handle all of these issues on your own.  You just cant.\n\nYou need to be flat out honest and tell you mom what is going on with you.  I believe you wouldnt be asking Yahoo Answers if you didnt want the help...right?\n\nGo to mom and say, "Mom...I love you and I need to talk to you about some things that have been going on in my life.  I need your help right now.  So please, what I am going to tell you, you might get mad at first, but I need your love and support right now."  And than tell her.  Tell her you experimented with pot and you are dealing with cutting and anorexic issues.\n\nYour life is to precious not to talk to someone.  If you really dont belive you can talk to your mom go to your school counsler or another responsable adult who you can trust to help you find the help you need.\n\nI also realize how bad you dont want to tell your mom.  But I really belive you need and should tell her what is going on.\n\nI would totally respect my girls and feel so apprecitive if they came to tell me they were pregnant, getting high or anything in life that they are trying to deal with on thier own.\n\nEven though you are 13 you still have alot of mental growing up to.  And I know at 13 you feel like you should be treated like an adult.  But there are many things in life 13 year olds just cant do yet because they arent mentally ready for it.\n\nGo to your mom,  and talk to her.  Tell her your exact feelings and be honest with her.  SHe will totally respect you for it and love you!


You have two options. You can cut calories and perform crunches like crazy, try one of the hot new incredible infomercial ab devices and buy a “fat burner”, Also there is another  option but it is not too popular. Eat right, Understand functions of the abdominal muscles, work the body as a whole, and allow for ongoing fat release. Of all of two options, there is only one that "works," all of the time. Unfortunately, it “appears” to be the most complicated. \n\nHere is the Real Ab-Solution:\n\nBefore we go any further, I would like to point out that slimming down your abdominal parts REALLY means reducing you body fat percentage in those areas. Therefore, the goal is to reduce your body fat percentage.  \n\nNow that we understand what we are seeking, let us zero in on the solution.\n\nStep 1: Eat right\n"Eat right" sounds so simplistic, but the idea is maximize natural unprocessed foods and minimize processed or junk foods (Please do not go on a depravation diet, it will make things worse). However, you also need to eat in a way that supports Fat loss.\n\nThe real trick lies in stabilizing blood sugar, which allows fat to be released from your fat cells. You would do that by eating meals free from simple sugars and refined carbs, low in processed saturated fat, and balanced with protein, complex carbs, fiber, and essential fatty acids. \n\nStep 2: Move\nOnce the fat is release from the cells, they need to be burned in your muscle cells. Releasing the body fat is not enough; you need to support your nutrition with a more active lifestyle. If you are not active, the released fat just goes back to the fat cells and they are not burned. Burning that fat make your “six packs” visible. You not only need to work on your abs or core muscles but you also need to work you the body as a whole (focus on the major muscles like your legs and back).\n\nThen you need to optimize circulation with moderate aerobic exercise (do not go crazy), and fat release should be consistent and ongoing, and a little at a time, those abs will shine through.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com\nhttp://www.fitmindtraining.com

Why are the NHLs Sabres so good.....Buffalo NY SABRES. Got to love the SABRES!

They are well coached. They have the #2 power play and #3 penalty kill in the NHL--#1 in the Eastern Conference in both categories. The players stick up for one another, and pick each other up when someone makes a mistake. They don't have anyone who just glides along half the time (remember Miro Satan?). They have good team speed, have 4 good scoring lines, have the NHL's #1 shot-blocker (Jay McKee), and have finally developed good depth as an organization. Young players like Jason Ponimville and Paul Gaustad stepped up when Daniel Briere, Jochen Hecht, Chris Drury and McKee were out. I've been a Sabre fan since the French Connection and survived the dark days. I'm really enjoying this season.\n\nAs for the Maple Laffs--hockey's version of the Chicago Cubs, too bad for them that they're not closer to Buffalo.


I have a dell 15" LCD desktop monitor and I would like to use it as an LCD TV. Is there an adaptor or converter that I can buy to get my cable box to display on my LCD Monitor like a TV. The connection on the LCD monitor is a 15 pin cable, no audio or red, blue, white or yellow connections either. My cable box is an HD box with the red, blue, white, yellow, s-video and coaxial cable connections. ANy suggestions. If so where and what do I need to buy in order to watch my cable on my LCD monitor?

Does the 15 pin cable have one long horizontal pin next to the other pins?  If not then I would guess that this is a standard VGA cable.  As for the cablebox, there should be some letters over the individual colored connections on the back of the box.  If they are Y, Pb, and Pr then they are component video.  You should be able to buy VGA-to-Component video converters or cables at Radio Shack orsome other audio/video store.

I need some tips to help purchase things in ebay.

Well the mechanics of purchasing are pretty straight foward, and can be found in the attached link. Basically set up an account, search for an item that you want to bid on and place a bid. \n\nBeyond that, there is a strategy for buying on ebay. First and foremost know your prices. not every deal is a good one. Second, know how much you are willing to pay for something and stick to it. Do not get caught up in the excitement of the auction and overpay for something.\n\nEBay uses proxy bidding, so that at any time you can put in the max amount you want to pay for something. It will automatically record your bid as the lowest "winning bid", and will only raise it as people bid against you. it will go right up to your max amount. \n\nAs for a bidding strategy, many people believe it is best to wait until late in the auction before placing their bid. This gives less time for others to "nibble" your bid up higher or to even ultimately outbid you. Some people will actually take this to the extreme of "sniping", which means either using an automated software or their own time to wait until just seconds before the auction ends to place their bid. It ensures that you can not be outbid by someone after you. The downfall is that you are not sure that your bid will be high enough due to the proxy bidding process explained above. However, if you bid the max amount hat you feel comfortable with this should not matter.\n\nThis should be enough to get you started. you can also check the forums or discussion boards (link also attached)on just about anything ebay to gather more info...


y do people have hair under their arms??

WE have hair for insulation and in a small degree as sensory devices.Our eye lashes and brows keep sweat out of our eyes.Heat dissipation under your arms and evaporation and dry lubricant in other places.Our hair also protects our head from the sun. Good Luck!


Don't bring any chevy lovers onto my post please. I will ask nicely. I am trying to get together a group of ford lovers. Just want to see what kind of ford they have and what it will do. THANKS!!

2005 ford gt, 5.4 liter supercharged and intercooled v8, the trouble with this car is it's a gas guzzler and it's hard to get in when you're at a tight parking space, but besides that i love this car, it was made to kill ferrari


i know that the question itself is vague but general opinions are welcome !!

Is freedom considered ethical? Of course, personal definitions of freedom vary. Basic human rights for all, including humane treatment of animals. I think American society is just like any other in that we all have our own ethics and values. Even in nations without freedom, their is surely a difference in opinion whether spoken or not.\n\nIs it possible you are confusing religion with ethics? Not all ethics are religious. America is home to many religions so we do not all have the same belief system. I think in general we believe in living without taking others rights away - except for the extreme christian-conservatives who do want to take away certain "non-christian" rights because they believe that they foul up our nation regardless of our constitutional rights.


I am tring to make more friends with someone is not in asian and not boys.

just looking at your user name, are you asking the question, asian man.  nah! just joking!!! why do you want to know the percentage?  if you have a nice personality, all the females, will want to go with you.  just for your 411, white woman is very discriminating.


I've been talking to this girl for about few weeks. She used to call me alot and stuff.. we enjoy talking to each other and hanging out.\nBut starting this week, she started to stop talking to me, stop calling and everything.. i dont think i did anything wrong.\n\nI call her sometimes, yet.. she always says that she is busy and she'll call back.. but she never does. Whenever she isnt busy, we only get to talk for a few minutes though.\n\nBut she does have a family member thats dying.. so i wonder if thats affecting her mood, but i dunno.\n\nI feel as if im acting as her "insurance", or either she is trying to play hard to get or something. i dunno.

It kinda sounds like she is giving you a hint.  But I can't speak for her.  Do you think you could work up the nerve to directly ask her if she would like you to stop calling?  Explain that you understand she is dealing with very serious and sad issues and that you are more than happy to give her room if that is what she needs.\n\nYou sound like a very nice person.  I hope it works out for you.  All the best.

yassist module causes problems \nyahoo put it on my machine\nplease help me get it removed

From what I've recently learned from researching a question that involved the yAssist module (use link below in Source(s)) it is minimally part of the Yahoo Toolbar application.  So if you're using Yahoo Toolbar and really need to remove the yAssist module I would start by uninstalling Yahoo Toolbar.  \n\nNote, if yAssist is being used by other Yahoo applications you've installed on your PC then uninstalling Yahoo Toolbar might not remove it.  In which case I would suggest you contact Yahoo Support for assistance.  \n\nHTH and good luck.


I want people to judge me and remember me for how I helped others. Even when doing so often meant that my own needs and desires had to be put on the "back-burner". I want the next generation to be able to use my life as an inspiration and guide for their lives.

I know about the "Squaddra azzura", but how is it that a country with no blue in its flag plays in blue (football- hoops soccer, rugby)?

OK hope you can understand me,  my english is no good \n\nThe blue represents the Kingdom (the Royal Family color) \n\nWhen italy was a kingdom rule by the Savoy royal family the color (blue) was selected to be the color for the national team (in all sports) since then the people call it the Squadra Azzurra, later when mussolini took the power he wanted to change the color but when he knew that he has the support of the royal family the color was maintain \n\nwhen the Italian Republic was form (the royal family was exiled because they supported mussolini) the senate wanted to change it but it couldn´t


I have their IP addresses and all of their login attempts (complete with time, username and passwords attempted).  To which authorities should I report this?  and do you think there will be any consequences for them or will the authorities just blow it off?  (it's really pissing me off)  Thanks for your help =)

You should report it to the ISPs that own the IP addresses they used. You can find out who that is via http://www.arin.net. Most ISPs take swift and decisive action against hackers.\n\nYou could also try contacting the FBI's cybercrimes unit and / or the state police cybercrime units whereever they reside. However, the cops are probably going to blow it off; most cybercrime departments only care about child pornography and terrrorism.\n\nFinally, take a lead from the music industry. Sue them. If you sue them in your state, you can subpeopna their ISPs to give subscriber information to you; sue the subscribers in your state's superior courts (not small claims; ask for a lot so they have to hire real lawyers). \n\nYou can simply drop the lawsuits later, but it would be fun to sue them in your courts, make them get lawyers and waste time and money.

Buy Bill Clinton a skirt and some high heels. I'm sure he would feel right at home in them and would make a great first lady.


my favorite sport is swimming and iceskating but i want to know your opinion.

VOLLEYBALL--HANDS DOWN! I grew up in Huntington Beach California so it was as common to me as breathing. I do, however, need to play with those who know the rules. GGGRRRRR to those ball hogs, and you know who you are.;-P\n\nHorseback riding is a great one! I love the scenery up here in the mountains. Being with the horses on the ground is much more enjoyable for me though, they are an awe to be with and I love all of their expressions.....hey I am drifting off the subject here...sorry. \nUmmmm I think swimming and ice skating are equally good sports wise. Both can be done year round and both are cardio and can give you a sense of well-being. \nI can think of another, but since there is really no age resriction here I won't mention the other.

Prenatals are just vitamin tablets withall the vitamins that a woman needs during pregnance.  I don't believe that there is anything wrong when taking them any other time.  If it could cause problems in non-pregnant women, then it should tell you on the warning label.

Try not to overthink this one. It can be anything. An individual? (Sinatra and Elvis made multiple comebacks in the entertainment world; Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard did the same in boxing.) A team? (My own Buffalo Bills engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history at the AFC Wild Card Game on January 3rd, 1993. Trailing the Houston Oilers 35-3 early in the 3rd quarter, and playing without their starting QB [Jim Kelly] and RB [Thurman Thomas], those glorious Bills mounted a cavalry charge that resulted in a 41-38 overtime victory.) Your greatest comeback doesn't have to be about sports or celebrity. It can be anything. Perhaps a personal comeback story? You have the floor and we're all listening (reading). Give us your best!\n\n(Note: Actually, I'm making a comeback of sorts in returning to YA [what, again?] after a week of medical misery. I'm still sick as a dog, battling this ghastly 2006 flu strain, but the troops are rallying and I do believe I shall survive after all.) :)

Dude, I saw that game! That was probably the best sports comeback of all time.\nI think the original line-up of KISS was the best rock-n-roll comeback...that is, until Pink Floyd tours again with Roger Waters.\nAlso, the cocaine I used to do came back 95% when I rocked it up, but that isn't something I want to associate with a 'good' comeback. Speaking of which; I am almost done coming back from the brink of insanity because of that use!


you know when you find that special someone when they are all you think of and you want to spend every waking moment of your day with them .

You never know for sure.  Only the test of time will tell.


Hotararea de guvern privind lista luptatorilor pentru victoria Revolutiei romane 1989

Speaking Romanian, guess they didn't read the rules on using only english.  THey want a casualty list from the 1989 "incident" in Romania where a fake coup was staged so neo-Communists could take control of the country from the Fascist-Communist Nicolai Ceaucescu.\n\nUnfortunately, only partial lists can be constructed due to the thousands of falsified lists, propoganda campaigns, and misinformation campaigns put out after the "revolution".  Real historians put the actual casualty count very low, under 300-500 in fact, but they did occur in very concentrated incidents such as the two groups of conscripts ordered to kill each other at the Bucharest airport, and the chaos in the main city square where a few gunman took potshots at the army from the corner of a crowd of 15,000 protestors.\n\nThese carefully engineered massacres put the neo-Communists in power and set the country up for being looted of almost $137 billion in the 10 years that followed according to Transparency International.


to share my sad & fun times even from far.

Good communication makes relationships work.\n\nWhat to chat about:  Ask your girlfriend about how her day went, what she wants to do, where she wants to go with you.  When you're interested in her, it'll make her feel more special. Then when she's done, share with her your experiences...\n\nSo go ahead and chat with your girlfriend.  Enjoy! =)

Who are people that are female and famous?

Well, I think if this is for a report you better narrow down your topic or you may find yourself in over your head. What kind of famous females? I'll try to name just a few for you that I think are awesome women! To start with my personal hero and the wonderful woman for whom I was named... Corrie Ten Boom. Corrie was in her late 50's during WW2.She along with her elderly Father, and Sister were imprisoned in a Nazi death camp for hiding many Jewish friends in their Dutch home. Corrie lived for many years after she was freed from prison she went on to co-author several books including but not limited to "The Hiding Place" (which is also an ok movie but the books are always better) :) And Prison letters. So there's a war hero for ya. Don't forget about someone who may be in your life that is serving our country! If you are looking for someone in the news a lot there is Condoleeza (not sure of spelling) Rice. Also there are probably a million women you could consider in the entertainment business. Not the least of which are; Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Brittney Spears, Janet Jackson... sorry on this one I do my best to know as little as possible about this type of "famous" person. LOL anyhow you could also consider someone like Iris Johansen who is an excellent author. What about a Biblical (or other religious) female figure. You could use Mary Magdeline, Mary the Mother of Jesus, The Queen of Heaven Isis, or Venus the Greek god of love... I'm sure there are a ton of other religious female figures as well.\nOk so I hope one of these suits your needs... good luck


SHE GAINS WEIGHT WHEN SHE HAS A STEADY SEX LIFE BUT LOSES THE WEIGHT WHEN SHE IS NOT SEXUAL FOR A TIME!

When she is having sex she feels secure and eats more. Shen she is not having sex she feels insecure and blames her weight, therefore not eating as much/exercising/etc. This is true of 90% of women in the south. They're skinny until they get married and then they put on 200 lbs....


for me its stuff like holding my stuff,pulling out my chair , andholding the door for me.

I love it when a guy compliments me when he knows I have put extra effor to look nice for him, also I love it when guys tickle me or play wrestle me, it is so cute


My assumption is that it's not. Rather a "round" of golf is made up of 18 "holes" (or sometimes 9.) Comments?

I'm much more likely to say, "let's go tap the pill." Or, "let's go slap the seed." Rather than say...."Gee wiz, let's go have a game of golf."\n\nIt's used, but not by normal people ; )


If one object has a mass of 20 kg and the other has a mass of 120 kg, and they are located 0.5 meters apart, what is the force between them?

OK, Law of universal gravitation can be given as:\n\nF = G(m*n/r^2)\n\nWhere F = gravitational force, G = Gravitational Constant, m = Mass 1, n = Mass 2, r = distance of seperation between centers of gravity.\n\nSo, in your example, m=20kg, n = 120kg, and r = 0.5m. Plug them in and get\nF= G(2400 kg^2)/0.25 m^2\n\nSolving for F, you get F= 9600 (kg/m)^2 * G\nSince G = 6.67300 × 10^-11 m3/kg*s^2\nYou get\n6.40608 x 10^(-7) Kilogram-meters per second squared.

I NEED HELP PLEASE .......

Call your county or state BAR Association. They should be able to help you locate one who will either work for free or at a greatly reduced rate.


they want your phone number--but htere is no way in the world your giving it out???

Say that, "There's no way in the world I'm giving it out!" Add a smiley face emoticon or a LOL for good measure.

He's going to be in juvi for three years and in jail for three

Do they have his undivided attention? Is he going to get out and do what it takes never to go back?....Babydoll, I don't know your jailbird, so I can't make any comment about whether or not he'd be worth waiting for, but I can tell you this, with absolute certainty: Loving an inmate is a VERY HARD ROAD....it's about slogging through endless paperwork, it's trying to keep up with rules that seem to change every week, it's waiting for incredibly expensive collect phone calls that might or might not come and when he doesn't call, praying with all your heart that the phones in the day room are just either too busy or broken and that he's not hurt or on lockdown, it's becoming obsessive about checking your mail and the heartsick feeling that comes over you when the letter you want so badly isn't there,it's about getting writers cramp and spending $20 a week on stamps and stationary, it's about dealing with either keeping it secret or dealing with disapproval of the relationship everywhere you turn and mostly it means living in a future you can't be sure of and that really does take a toll.\nIf I had a choice, I wouldn't do it, but I've loved the guy for over 20 years and I can't quit now...and I'm almost 40, so it's not as if I'm spending my youth dealing with the Dept.of Corrections...think carefully, Sweetie, it is a hard, hard thing to do and no guarantees

Contact your local Legal Aid office.  Pro bono is a term used when lawyers offer free legal services.  If your case is a criminal one and you are subject to jail/prison time, you may request the court to appoint a public defender to you.  If you have a civil case, you have to contact a Legal Aid office for assistance.  The court will not appoint a public defender if you are not subject to jail/prison time.


Mohammed Kaif after a very good performance in the 1st Test at Nagpur, is suddenly dropped in the 2nd Test at Mohali, This seems to a very strange moment in the Indian Cricket, Please I want People to Comment on this, and how long such things are going to happen in Indian Cricket, when everybody is aiming for the World Cup 2007.

The point given by the Team management and the Coach is India need 5 Bowlers, 3 spinners and 2 Fast Bowlers it not OKay.\n\nKaif Should be in the Team at any cost in the Test Team for the Reasons mentioned below :\n\n1.   He is a Excellent Fielder, and no one can just match him in that case.\n2.   He is a very intelligent sharp and a very quick learner.\n3.   He is a very good Athelet, and he is very quick in running between the wicket.\n4.   When the Indians lost too many wicketes in the 1st Innings at Nagpur, he was the one with the company of our Leader The wall Rahul Dravid who took the Initiative and took the Indian team out of trouble, Great knock and Great Attitude and character shown, well done Kaif.\n5.   It is not OK to include Piyush Chawla now straight away instead of the much experienced Mohammed Kaif, because already we have Kumble and Harbhajan as genuine Spinners and then we have the Tendulkar, Sehwag, Yuvraj who can also spin the ball and contribute to the Indian Team.\n6.   When things are going very well for the Indian Team, then Kaif forms a very good partner at the other end with any batsmen i.e. Tendulkar, Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sehwag or any body else.\n7.   If given more chances then Kaif would prove himself that he can win more and more matches for his Indian team.\n8.   It is the form that matters the most than any other factor in a particular series, and it is the right time that Kaif is playing well and he definetly deserves a right place in the Indian Team in the present Scenario.\n9.   I would ask everybody to think of the same Indian team which is playing in the 2nd Test at Mohali but for the one change which should be in the team is that instead of Piyush Chawla - Mohammed Kaif should be playing the Match, that is it! Simple.\n10.  Because Piyush Chawla is so young and he can get a chance whenever in the future or we can try him in the ODI's since we are having enough 7 ODI's after the Test Series.


I'm inerested if getting information on funding my first adult daycare center.\nAny help or advice would be helpful

It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

should the government have a amnesty for all illegal immigrants?

Yes, it's hypocritical and exploitative to perpetuate having 12 million people as second class citizens.


In my opinion he did. Prior to Anakin, the Council was huge and backed by the authority of the Galactic Senate. After his militant slaughter of Jedi, the field was a lot more even. The Jedi council was driven out of the Republic, there were fewer Jedi and they were scattered. In essence, the balance between Jedi and Sith was much more equal than before. Granted, it wasn't the 'balance' ObiWan envisioned, but it was balance in a way. I'd like to get other opinions.

In my opinion, no. Luke did. Luke was the "chosen" one, not Anakin. \n\nThe force was out of balance because of Palpatine, clouding the Jedis' vision... Anakin only further tipped the scales. Once he was Darth Vader, he used the imbalance to the Empire's advantage, and killed almost all the jedi. \n\nOnly when Luke pleads for his father's help at the end of Ep. 6 is the balance returned to equilibrium. (Darth kills Palpatine)\n\nThat's the way I've always interpreted it. The subitle of Ep. 6 says it all: Return of the Jedi (Anakin)


Is something else better?  100% loan?  I know what an 80/20 is now..80% of the amount in one loan the other 20% in the other.  Unless that's wrong too!  I need info!

Okay....let's please all stop giving this poor person wrong answers.  An 80/20 loan is NOT where you put 20% down on the home.  This type of loan refers to two separate mortgages.  The 1st mortgage secures 80% of the purchase price, then the 20% takes care of the remainder.  Example:  $100,000.00 purchase price.  1st mortgage @ 80% is $80,000.00; then the second mortgage @ 20% is $20,000.00, thus giving you a total of 100% financing.\n\nAlso...bankrate.com is not a good source of info on different types of mortgages.  There is nothing wrong with this type of financing when you do not have the type of money tp put down on the home.  Very good choice.  Although you may get a better rate on a government loan (FHA/VA) and you only have to secure 1 mortgage.\n\nIf you would like to know some more about this type of financing or other types, please contact me at timothy.kazee@americanhm.com. and we can talk further.  You can also visit my website at www.americanhm.com/timothy.kaz ee.  Feel free to apply online there also.  Great question!!!!!!


You know it's going to be a bad day when you jump out of bed and miss the floor.


Do you push yourself to the point of exhaustion? Overwork? What do you do to de-stress?

I do a braindump of all the things I am feeling happy, sad, angry, or scared about.  I try to say how strong each feeling is relative to the others.  \n\nI think about why I feel those feelings.  Specifically I consider whether or not my needs for certainty, connection, contribution, significance, variety, and growth are being met or not, and could therefore be triggering each feeling.  \n\nThen for each I consider my options, choices I could make.  That is not to say I will make those choices, but I braindump all possible ways forward.\n\nAfter this I feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders, and I can think more clearly, relax, do other things, all without all those niggling feelings whirring around inside me.  The turmoil inside me is greatly reduced.  I feel more in control again.  I'm more able to live in the present, without dwelling on the past or the future.


If i get anything lower then a B in an assignment I'm grounded for a month. Any tips suggestions or help(:

He expects a lot and I know its hard sometimes. But he knows your potential. I know sometimes you just can't get a perfect grade. Try talking to him assure him and prove to him that you do work hard and prove that to him and try explaining that its not possible to get perfect grades all the time. Good luck to you. Hang in there and don't forget he loves you.

I have a laptop connected via cable internet. When I unplug the etehrnet from the laptop and plug it into my desktop pc, it won't connect. Help!

You need to unplug the cable modem power for 30 seconds and plug it back in to let it reset after you change computers.  I just found that out from trial and error, while I was hooking up to my laptop.  On the laptop I had to restart the computer also, but on the desktop I didn't have to.  I think I am going to buy a wireless router next.

I have cotton curtains hanging in front of hot water heat pipes and am concerned about starting a fire.  Would like to know if this is safe or not.

It should be okay, from what I could find. Cotton tinder has a flashpoint of 210 degrees C (410 degrees F), and a self-ignition point of 407 degrees C (764 degrees F). I would not expect any common cotton product to have a flashpoint lower than tinder.


Do the following symptoms seem like they could be caused by stress?  I had Epstein Barr 8 years ago. I was always tierd. A couple of good years past and now the following symptoms are getting progressively worse: I have extreme tierdness all but 2-4 hours per day; 3 discs in my lower back are out of line; 3 more discs in my neck cause daily pain and make it difficult to sleep; liver alkaline phosphates are elevated just bad enough to cause pain; my once perfect teeth need to be taken out due to gums; I have carpal tunnel (no big deal); lately I have no desire to eat because of too much acid in my stomache, at times my food gets stuck on the way down; I've lost around 40 pounds suddenly; potassium levels are low; 2 weeks time eyesight changed in 1 eye and I have a huge floater which dimishes my sight.  I find it hard to believe that STRESS could make me feel so terrible. I'd appreciate any ideas?

Absolutely. Stress causes all sorts of problems. And it's a vicious cycle--stress causes illness causes stress. Please talk to a doctor about all of your symptoms. Just the rapid weight loss alone is something you need to address. He or she can help you. As for the disc problems, after you see your doctor about the other things, try seeing a chiropractor. He or she will help align you and figure out a new way for you to sleep that can not only aid with your disc pain, but may also help your stomach acid problem as well. (This was happening to me. I was sleeping funny and needed to be realigned, and the acid reflux I've developed was greatly diminished by my new sleeping positions. It's crazy how things can be related, and you'd never know.)\nIn any case, SEE A DOCTOR!!!!! Good luck.


I need the answer to the 2002 Question on the "The Convergence of the Twain"

I took AP lit when i was in high school  (c/o 2004).  The answers were in the work book that we had.  So you need to find a workbook from 2002.  It'll prolly be best to ask a teacher you know who taught it.  I don't think you can get them in stores or anything.  The collegeboard website may help also.


Not of speech.  I believe that the way to calm many problems is allowing people to talk them out.  I don't see how saying something that you believe is bad.  Even if it is repugnant to others or hurtful to some.  Everyone on this earth is entitled to feel however they want.  EVEN if they hate me...my religion...my family...my country...my God.  That doesn't mean I will agree with them or even dignify what they say with a response but I will not censor them as I would not want to be censored.


My husband (March 20) And I (Oct 12) usually get along well, but many say we wont last because our signs dont get along. Is that true?

Great question for me. My husband is a pisces and I am a libra.\n\nWe get along great. I have read this is a hard match, unless you were brought together by another force, such as a blind date. My husband and I were set up by mutual friends. \n\nWe have been together sinec 95 so over 10 years, and married since 98.\n\nYou will find, being the Libra, that their(the pisces) indecisiveness and temper will get you super frustrated. \n\nMy husband just cannot get over the fact that people are crappy drivers, and every time we go out he gets pissed driving. I have fixed that by always being the driver. \n\nAs the Libra, i tend to be controlling, which most pisces dont mind as they can be a bit lazy.\n\nWe have a ton of fun together, we are both silly and we both have the same views on almost everything. He puts up with my vain nature and my rare but high temper, and I put up with his crankyness and indecisiveness.\n\nIts a great match for us. Good luck!


just looking for labor and materials not lot costs or land.  southwestern US.

Obviously this depends on the costs for your contractor in your area and labor.   Materials will vary in price as well. A good place to research that would be at a place such as Home Depot (for your materials)   Once you cost them out, you can shop for lower prices.   Permits also need to be costed in as well as cost for blue prints, septic systems or sewer; whether or not the lot has electric to the boundries or if you have to put in it; etc. Take your time and research it before you settle on a contractor.  There are so many ways to go; stick built, pre manufactured, kit (for log cabins) design simple or complex; single story or townhouse.  I did a lot of research on the internet and was never bored.  Learned a lot.  Have fun.

It's actually Commonwealth.\nThe Oxford Dictionary (1992) says it's an association of the United Kingdom with states that were previously part of the British Empire. Basically it's made up of countries that still accept the British Monarchy (we have Queen Elizabeth on our money).We used to be part of the British Empire. Countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand...


I am studying perfect but when I get a bad note I always lose my motivation to read please help to motivate myself.

Well, I don't know how to motivate you too much, maybe try taking to a friend or parent, maybe the teacher. Ask them to help you stay on track. But remember that even if you are not motivated, you have to do it. Once you start doing, that usually helps with the motivation. And keep in mind that it's ok to get a bad grade every once in a while.


Hello People this is seriouse!! unlike my other questions.\nMy Girlfreind always moans about constipation (means Cant let the Rubbish out after going black and blue in the loo) she tried all sorts of fibre food and medicines. She doesnt like An@l Sex Otherise I wouldve Tried that. is there anything else she try??

There are three things to consider here.\nFirst what is her diet like. Does she eat a normal amount of fruit, veg and fibre? For example at the moment maybe a portion of each a day would be a good idea.\nSecondly does she drink enough water? Water is very important in helping faecal matter pass throgh the intestines and bowel, it is basically the element which lubricates the motion. Fibre is actually making the situation worse if you are not drinking plenty of water. She should aim to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. Water is best, other fluids can help with hydration but some beverages can cause some dehydration or irritate the stomach i.e alcohol, coffee! Fruit juice helps with both of the above issues but be careful not to drink too much, you could go too far!\nThirdly, is there an underlying problem. Quite often physical factors can cause the constipation. Number one nowdays is stress and lifestyle changes. Being stressed out to the max or having to use the toilet in unfamiliar locations can cause constipation, so try to address these issues. Changes in diet or any change can cause periods of constipation consider what can be contributing to the problem and see if she can change back. Underlying pathophysiological conditions must also be considered, see the last paragraph.\nYou say your girlfriend has tried some medications, I don't know what these are but the usual method of treating the problem is to address the issues above and then try two different medications...bulking agents and laxatives. Bulking agents (e.g Ispaghula husk) help bulk up the stool helping push it through. This like fibre depends on a good intake of water. Laxatives come in different varities. Osomotic laxatives like lactulose (a sugary liquid) help draw water in to the stool lubricating it and helping it pass through the bowel. Stimulant laxatives help the intestines to physiaclly push the stool through the system. The mildest of these would be senna then she could try more potent laxatives like bisacodyl. Always start off with the mildest laxative possible and then try the next step if this has not worked after correct use for two to three days.\nMore serious conditions must be considered if the problem is ongoing. If your girlfriend has any severe pain, blood in her stools, alternating constipation and diarrhoea, weight loss or if the problem is going on for more than a few weeks I highly recommend she visits her doctor (who will be in the position to advise her)


You should buy this book \n\nIndia Through the Lens: Photography 1840-1911\n\nIts amazing and has some rave reviews about it. Its the best you can ask for.\n\n.:Fishie:.


Keeping in mind that a tree or stone can/ could be used as a wheel

This is sort of like the chicken and/or the egg. But The principle (undoubtedly) was discovered, but the implementation of the object was invented - ie it is the combination of axle, hub, and bearing that is the invention, allowing a wheel to be attached to a cart or similar, to make it useful.\n\n The idea of perpetual motion is nothing new. It was discovered and proven in the beginning of the 18 century. The invention was a working system using the gravity force to power the wheel. This made the inventor famous in history. \n\nThus, in summation, I firmly believe that the wheel was discovered just by observing nature but the axle, etc was invented.

Can a Mother of an adult daughter..get a copy of the police report that was taken 9 yrs ago??..and can she also get a copy of the autopsy report??

That depends on your state laws and on what you want it for. The autopsy report is usually available to close family members. Police reports are often considered public records and available to anyone for the copying fee or a nominal fee.\n\nIf you sue the police or someone else, you may be able to get the documents through discovery procedures.


Indeed, "Jesus" played two parts (sons) in John 5.\nBut "Christ" of "Jesus Christ" plays one part only.\nHe is our "peace" (not division) who abolished law;\nis why we are called the body of "Christ" (not Jesus).\nOtherwise "everyone" would get both saved + destroyed,\nwhich is called "cursed" and "accursed" in the Bible,\nin which things are an "allegory", about grace + law.\nFor there is no respect of persons with God, nor Son.\nEven Herodians figured that much out about God & Son.\nWill a Body of Christ person pls explain to Jesus folk,\nsaved + destroyed after by grace + law = dead end for all\nif "there is no respect of persons with God" nor Son of God.

I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

I saw the last episode and it looked incomplete.

I don't know.  Once I was used to so many familiar faces being teenagers, I really enjoyed it.  It is so much better than almost everything that has been made to fill its time slot.  Good shows keep getting canceled!\n\nAt this link:  http://marvel.toonzone.net/xmenevo/\nthere is the claim that... "One of Marvel's most critically acclaimed cartoons, X-Men: Evolution was cancelled after 4 seasons in the Winter of 2003, falling to the notorious 52 episode rule."\n\nI do know why it looked incomplete though.  Here's a quote, "Boyd Kirkland confirmed on ToonZone.net that the unrealized Season 5 would have expanded on the several of these plot threads, with Dark Phoenix being the season's villain."\n\nThe link below is where I found the quote.  Maybe you can find out about the cancellation if you follow enough links.\n\nGood luck!

I have a store with lighting equipments and I'd like to find out opinions about the potential customers, the way to address to them the tactics to adopt in the way of increase the sales. I want to find out what make them to buy, what are their criteria to choose one product or other

That is a loaded question, that could require a lot of time and space to answer.\nYou definitly have some research a head of you.\nI would begin first to define who my customers are. Once this is done then you can direct your marketing efforts towards that customer.\nTo understand what will motivate your customers to purchase is wrapped up in what they precieve they need. They are not buying lighting equipment, but what it does for them.\nBest Wishes\nJohn

my sister has an apartment in an upscale college complex, but recently came home to find that her apartment had been gone through, and they had found evidence of a pet on the property. They hung a "removal of pet" notice on her door. We understand that she was in breach of the contract, but we want to know if they unlawfully entered her apartment, and if there is anything we can do about it. She has a roommate that  doesnt actually live there, and sometimes this roommate's mother will come stay in her room, and we think that perhaps that is who complained about the pet. Her and the roommate do not get along. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am not sure how N.C. law works exactly...but I can tell you how this would be resolved in Pa.  They probably aren;t that different regardless.  In Pa. a land lord is required to give 24 hours notice unless there is an emergency situation.  I do not see how a pet constitutes an emergency.  I'd also check your contract/lease, although I am sure that this is probably not listed.  As for the pet....your land lord has NO RIGHT to remove a pet of yours from the building.  None.  That is completely outrageous.  He can evict you for violating the lease.  He can ask you to remove the pet.  But he has absolutely no right at all to remove a pet from an apartment.  I'd sue.

Thank you for your answer! What's up with this president? Does he really care about what's going on or is he just going through the motions? In my heart-of-hearts I feel "W" Bush is just counting the days before his presidency is over. I think he'd rather be on his ranch digging holes and pulling weeds then be in the White House. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually, at the moment, he's most concerned with tying his shoes. "Doggone it, I plum forgot how to do up the bow thingy again... Laura?"


I am staying up all night until my boyfriend gets home so I can talk to him about the argument that we had. He told a friend that he does not know if he is coming home but he may not come tonight. All I want to do is talk things through so when I wake up it will be better.\n\nPlease refer to the first question to night for questions.

Are you at his house? Is he at your house? Are you two living together? By reading your question, I will say that you put too much weight on this matter.  My mother is like that.  She will stay up all night waiting to see when my father or me will come home if we said something wrong that day.  This is normal human behavior. However, I like to caution you that a relationship which consist of arguing and one person staying up all night until the other person coming home (so that they can talk) is no real relationship.  He is probably seeing someone I'm sorry.  A man is not a REAL man if he can't be precise.  Men tends to excused themselves to get some free time or some space.  Sweety, in the long run, you are going to be the one who loses at the end.  You will never feel any better in the morning, trust me.  There are many other nice guys out there.  However, please look at the situation carefully and see why are you two arguing.  You may be the problem.  All your worries at night will just push him away instead of bringing him closer to you.  If I were you, I would talk to your girlfriends and your family about this.  This is SERIOUS matter.  A sweetheart like you does not need to be staying up all night and worrying like that.  Instead you should be sleeping well and warm and waking up to beautiful flowers next to you, from him.  Do not do anything more to stress you..   Serpeanta@yahoo.com

I have only 9 months to prepare and my running and push ups suck, badly plus I'm 32 years old and female.

you need to switch up from distance running to sprinting. this will help you gain endurance and speed. \nthere are 2 ways to do this; distance one day, sprints the next day. or run 2 miles or so, every 2 tenths of a mile (or lap or whatever distance you will be able to determine is good), sprint, then run normal, repeat the process of switching to a sprint and then slowing down, not to a jog but still a brisk pace. Good luck! I know it will be an experience you will never forget.

Ok, I was at work tonight and this customer calls in late at night (I work at pizza hut) saying he placed an order for carry-out. (We are a carry-out and delivery only) This is what he said and i Quote, "I placed my order with a man named justin, and he was very rude to me. He first off messed up my order, and when I got it, it was cold. I DEMAND A FREE PIZZA!" Okay first off, NO JUSTIN WORKS WHERE I WORK. Second, we had no record of his phone number. Third, well we had to give him a free pizza. We called a neighbroing hut and they said they had a record of him calling in false complaints. This guy was very akward, he calls the wrong hut, talks to the wrong person, and never picked up his pizza. People, get your bullshit together.

I don't think you want an answer, I think you want sympathy. Well, you got it. That person is a cheat, a liar, and a sad excuse for a human. I apologize for his stupidity and selfishness.


Who can tell me what the difrence between, why most program support 32 bit, why exactly BIT, why not KB, or MB, and what advatages 64bit gives

64bit processors have the ability to run 64 bit operating systems(i.e. windows xp pro 64bit), and use 64 bit applications. 64 bit allows more system memory, among other things. Yeah the fx55 amd is over $1000 and is "only" 2.6ghz. But it is the fastest cpu in existance right now, so that "justifies" it's price. It beats an intel 3.8ghz. A 64bit 1.8ghz cpu, which is equivalent to a p4 3ghz is about $150. Not that expensive, and way cheaper than intel's new 64 bit chips.

people ask stupid questions because they are stupid

Formula: original cost x ( 1 + Profit% ) = sell price\n\nIn this case:\nC x (1+25%) = 39000\nC x 1.25 = 39000\nC = 31200\n\nTo check use:\n(Sell price - original cost)/original cost should equal to profit %\n\nTherefore, \n(39000-31200)/31200 = 0.25 = 25%  (this proves that C = 31200 is correct)


Love to hear from everyone, especially married men who are into what I've mentioned earlier. Thanks :)

The man was a transvestite long before he was married and will continue to be so.  The same for a married man who goes out and has sex with men, he was gay before he was married and marriage even to the most beautiful sensual woman cannot change that. He has a desire that he has to meet somehow.\n\nI should point out that the vast majority of transvestites 90+ percent are heterosexual men who have no interest in sex with other men.  In fact they love sex with women especially while dressed.  Sort male lesbians you might say.


This quistion is directed to the non-Muslims that converted to Islam.\nbut of course we can have the answers of our non-Muslim friends to give us there opinion in this fact.

some beautiful inspiring muslims...\n\n\nROB WICKS\n\n[In the following article, "NOI" refers to the Nation of Islam, which in spite of its name, is a group far removed from Islam. -Ed.] \n\nI grew up Baptist, in a family of ministers, in rural Mississippi. I went to college at Morehouse College in Atlanta, so I was exposed to the NOI, but I had the good fortune to become friends with an orthodox Muslim who explained to me the difference between NOI and Islam, and the lack of knowledge most NOI have of true Islam. Later, after I left school and began working, I got an internet account, and started to study some of the religions of the world. I had never really been a particularly religious person, due to my somewhat scientific nature. I always insist on proof. I started to delve deeper into Christianity, and studied it intently on the Web. I was somewhat disdained however by some inconsistencies in the Bible. I principally was troubled by the Trinity, though. I just did not see it. The one passage I saw as being most supportive (1 John 5:7) was partially forged. When I read Mathew 19:16-17, and Jesus (pbuh) says "Why callest thou me good?, it was clear to me that he was saying that he was not good, and only God was. But most of the Christians seemed to think Jesus was being tongue-in-cheek at this point. I found that I would have to be dishonest to accept this. \n\nThen fortune? smiled upon me. I hit a deer in my car. It was out of service for almost a month. During that time, I was unemployed, but had saved money, so I could live (I also have two roommates). I still had my internet account, and I decided to study more. After I had studied the Biblical contradictions, in addition to the inherent idolatry and unscriptural nature of the Trinity, along with other things, I rejected Christianity as a religion. Even Jesus did not seem to teach it, he taught belief in God. I went a time without any religion, thinking maybe it was all a sham. I have a friend who is in the 5% NOI, and I saw how much he hated religion, and I decided that I did not want to be like that. I believe that God kept my mind open and my heart from hardening against Him, and I studied Islam. Everything just seemed to fit: a reasoned faith which was very prayerful to keep us on the straight path, yet did not disdain acquisition of knowledge (the preachers back home loved to rail against education, as if ignorance is preferred by God). Islam seemed to be made for me. A good Muslim was the exact sort of person I aspired to be. After another month of study and prayer, I decided that if Muhammad (pbuh) was not a prophet, then there had never been prophets in the first place. The moment of decision came one night when I was reading the Qur'an and I read 21:30, and I read of God expanding his creation. Now, I almost became an astronomer at one point, and I still am interested, and these verses hit me like a sledgehammer. I became fearful of God, and wanted to worship him better.\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------\nCeline \n\nSalam Alekhum. \n\nI became Muslim almost three years ago, right after Ramadan in between the two Eids. \n\nMy spiritual search lasted over thirty years. I was born a Catholic and found many things I did not agree with: I believe in Jesus, but did not believe that he was the son of God, nor that he was God. I concluded on my own that he was a rabbi, since he was a learned Jew and a teacher. Because of this I went and studied under rabbis and learnt the Tanakh, the Torah and some of the laws of Judaism. I learnt the Kosher laws and the proper way of cooking, and the rules of being a woman. It became natural that men and women prayed separated as the women were together. Though Judaism was not the answer for me, I gained an understanding of its religious and spiritual ways. \n\nI then looked into women spirituality but found that it was lacking something, it was not always monotheistic in practice becau

G-d appeared to Moses in a burning bush, but that's not worshipped or made part of the G-dhead. He appeared as a dove, too, at Jesus' baptism, yet the dove is not included in the G-dhead, either. Why did 3 (Father, Son & H-ly Spirit) get chosen while the other manifestations were left out?

Here it is another 15 year old sermon from an unbeliever . . . and for an unbeliever . . . I am more familiar with the scriptures and historical documents than some of these believers.\n\nWHO IS JESUS CHRIST?\n\nSince Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Messiah) walked this earth as a human 2,000 years ago, there has been a controversy over who he really was. The Bible tells us in many places that there is only one true God (Deu. 6:4; Mal. 2:10; Mark 12:32; Rom. 3:30; Jam. 2:19; etc.). So where does Yeshua fit into the Godhead? \n\nMost modern Christians have been taught that Jesus is the second co-equal "person" in a triune Godhead composed of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. However, many (if not most) Christians don't really understand the Trinity. Other believers today, perceiving problems with the Trinity doctrine, have adopted a belief in the "Oneness" of God which is similar to the ancient doctrine of Modalism. \n\nBefore we can truly understand who the Messiah is, we need to look at the historical background of first-century Jewish religion and subsequent philosophical/religious doctrines that arose to explain his identity. This is going to examine the beliefs of first-century Jews regarding the Godhead and present the succeeding theories put forth to define who Yeshua is. Then we will discuss by harmonizing the Scriptures with this information to better understand what the Bible really says about the identity of the Messiah. \n\nFirst, let's start by looking at what first-century C.E. Jewish religion believed about the Godhead. There has been a tendency by scholars to define first-century orthodox monotheistic Judaism in rather restrictive terms. Jewish literature or beliefs from that time frame that seem to stray from the accepted norm have been reinterpreted to accommodate Trinitarianism or used to prove that Judaism was derived from the polytheistic religions surrounding Israel. \n\nRegarding how modern scholars tend to view first-century Jewish religion as either totally monotheistic or essentially polytheistic, University of Manitoba Professor Larry W. Hurtado wrote: \n\nI suggest that on both sides of the issue . . . there has been a tendency to proceed deductively from a priori presumptions of what monotheism must mean, instead of building up a view inductively from the evidence of how monotheism actually operated in the thought and practice of ancient Jews. There seems to be an implicit agreement on both sides that more than one transcendent being of any significance complicates or constitutes a weakening of or threat to monotheism. Those who see first-century Jewish religion as monotheistic tend, therefore, to downplay the significance and attributes given by ancient Jews to any transcendent beings other than God. For these scholars often, ancient Jewish monotheism must mean that the descriptions of such beings are largely rhetorical. Though I am convinced regarding some examples, I am not sure that the descriptions are always purely rhetoric . . . \n\nThose on the other side of the issue tend to emphasize the honorific ways in which transcendent beings other than God are described and the prominent positions they occupy in the religious conceptions reflected in ancient Jewish texts, alleging that first-century Jews were not really monotheists after all. It is clear that ancient Jews were not characteristically monists or unitarians, but does this mean that they were not monotheists? That is, on both sides there is a tendency to proceed as if we can know in advance what "monotheism" must mean, which turns out to be a very modern, monistic form of monotheism, and can accordingly evaluate ancient Jewish texts and beliefs as to whether or how closely they meet an a priori standard of "pure" monotheism. ("What Do We Mean by 'First-Century Jewish Monotheism'?," Journal for the Study of the New Testament) \n\nAs the above quote shows, Profe

When you vote do you consider the canidates religion in how you vote?  Why or why not?  Do you think it should be considered?

I do consider their religion when I vote only in the sense that they allow their religious institution to influence them. Otherwise, what their actual religion may be is not really the reason I vote for them. I listen to their views on different issues and their ideas for resolutions to problems on the various issues. If they say that their religion is "blank" and then say that their religion helps to guide them in the decision making process, that does not necessarily make me go "Oh no can't vote for you". Instead what I look at is how close their ties are to their religious institutions and whether they say things like "Well my religion tells me......and therefore this is how I will vote on that issue". In fact, the more they bring up "what my religion tells me" the more likely I am not going to vote for them. Reason...I've found that politicians that use the phrase "My religion tells me" are often the same politicians that are very closely tied to their religious institution and therefore what their religious institution is advocating, well it is them, not us the electorate, that they represent and listen to. If they say "Well I believe..............and I got this from what my religion teaches about............and the lessons I learned from that teaching helped me with some aspects of my plan" well the key words are "some" and "believe" and "teaches" and "lessons". The politicians like this usually hold strong beliefs, but if you look over their plans you'll see that they are not framing their religion into law, but instead have considered that others might have a different perspective. These politicians, while religious, often also do not always agree with their religious institution and will often outright say so on the areas where they disagree.


I have bad back pain when I sleep at night, what is the best rememdy?

A couple of things #1 if you have the cash get a new mattress, a quality mattress, this will do the job. #2, Poor man's solution, a piece of plywood between the box springs and the mattress, Sleeping on the floor always works for me and I've discovered that a "Therma Rest" Blowup mattress works as well. Visit a chiropractor you might need an adjustment. And do stretching exercises for the lower back.And recently I've started taking a supplement called "Ligaplex" with great results. Good luck!

MExicans are getting mad because we are trying to keep them from coming over here and sometimes( NOT ALWAYS) causeing trouble.

It is a very touchy subject because yes they shouldn't be allowed to come over and be over here illegally, but at the same time them being illegal doesn't mean that they should be allowed to be taken advantage of and exploited by greedy business owners.  And for the "the U.S. used to be Mexico" argument, that is lame because almost every piece of land was at one time owned by different peoples, we took it just as people have been taking land since the beginning of time.

My husband recently got a ticket for speeding (40 in a 25)and reckless driving (for squealing tires).  We have been advised to get a lawyer by a few people, and others have said to just go to court and pay the fines.  What can we do in order to help protect our insurance and to pay the least amount possible for an attorney and court costs?? What questions do we ask??  What do we tell the judge??   His court date is in mid-April, so we still have time to get a lawyer if we need to.

Any reputable lawyer won't charge you for a consultation.  You can lay out what happened and he/she'll let you know the best course of action.  Don't forget, they don't just know the law, they also know the cops in town and the judges, so they've got a fairly good idea of what your chances of successfully fighting the charges are.

If you suggest buying a house, what kind of houses do you think is highly saleable for less than 5 years? If you suggest buying shares of stocks, what stocks would you recommend and why?

House, no.  Stocks, yes (but only if you know which stocks to get :)\n\nReason, stocks are portable and you can take them with you.\n\nHouses, not normally portable.  Plus, you have to get a 30 year mortgage in many states just to have a comfortable monthly payment.  A house automatically implies you intend to stay longer.  Now, if you intend to keep the house when you move and rent it out or use it as a vacation home or retirement home (later), then it might be worth doing.\n\nOf course, it's just my opinion, it's really your decision.

The norm for people to have a bowel movement is 3 to 5 times a day!!???\nThis seems outragious!\nI thought I was good with once a day!

That's absolutely true!! If you're lucky to have only one bowel movement a day you are technically "constipated". I went to a Nutritionist to have this treated. Eat more dark vegetables, drink LOTS of water. Avoid junk food, unhealthy foods, and fast food places. \nI feel more energetic and I lost a lot of weight.\nTry what I suggested, or go to a Nutritionist! You're body has lots of fecal material inside that's going to poison you.\nAccording to any health book it says: the average person should have 3-5 bowel movements a day. Just think about it. We eat about three meals a day...

my 20 year old daughter has been lactating and isn't pregnant... possible benign tumor that starts with a "G"??? any info would be helpful.. Thanks

There is a tumor called prolactinoma. It is benign and may cause lactation without pregnancy. It may also be galactorrhea. Or it could just possibly be idiopathic prolactinemia, which basically means lactating for no reason. Which is what I have. I have been tested through an MRI for the porlactinoma and galactorrhea and both came back negative. Also, my doc tested my thyroid. If she has hypothyroidism, it could also cause this. Hope this helps.

The Russian state was destabilised by World War 1 and the Tsar was overthrown by a popular revolution in spring 1917. There was a brief attempt at a provisional government led by liberals, but during 1917 Lenin was smuggled back into Russia from exile in Europe and his Bolshevik party eventually headed the October revolution and established the Soviet Union in the civil war of 1917-1922, eliminating the "Whites" (the old aristocratic government), the anarchists and the rival socialists.

Anybody please answer. It can be what you believe in, OR the best way that you can imagine. Does your idea have a FLAW? If you are thinking of joy and happiness, eventually you would reach perfect happiness and there would be nothing left to do. Eventually you would discover all there is to discover and become so perfect, that all that is left is to commit suicide. So can your view be different, but flawless?

I wouldn't want to live forever. I would just want to live life to it's fullest, doing everything I can. Because otherwise, it'd be boring. You wouldn't have the joy of taking risks, or if everything was perfect, there would be nothing to spend time on to improve. It'd be pointless because if you lived forever, you would be able to do everything, not get those feelings of when you have to choose one thing. I don't know, I just think it'd be better to be on "a restricted time frame"

And what do they base it on? Is it mere personal opinion?

In the Wiccan religion the Devil doesn't exsist. What is recognized is that there is Good and Evil. \n\nBeing so there are both Good and Bad entities that you will come into contact with. Other enitites you come into contact with are neutral. \n\nOverall Evil and Good are both present and battle to keep the balance of exsistence.\n\nWiccans also worship the Lord and the Lady. Instead of God in Christianity. There are negitive or Evil figureheads for the Evil as well but not one on either side fighting against one another in command of each of there armies alone.\n\nThe Wiccan religon as with all pagan practices are more complex and take some research to fully grasp.

Under what circumstances is the French verb "aimer" conjugated as "aimee" (with an accent over the first "e")?  And what does "aimer" mean exactly; is it "to like" or "to love"?  Also, is Aimee (pronounced like "Amy") a common French name?

aimé is the past participle of aimer so it is used with the verb "avoir" to form the past tense of to love or to like and that is when you will see it conjugated like that.  It may be used in other more complex tenses that require a past participle as well (i.e. "il l'avait aimé depuis l'enfance"  he had loved her since childhood or "il l'aurait aime si ... " he would've loved her if ...).\n\nIt sounds the same as aimais/aimait/aimaient\nIt is pronounced like the french name aimée (which translate to amy but is not pronounced that way).\n\nNote also that aimer is not exactly a literal translation of "to love" as it is used in English (or at least in the US).  Love is a very strong word and how it is used also has to do with culture.  I have found that aimer isn't really used within a family but more for personal relationships and my French husband and I have had many long debates about the use of this word in French/English.

I will so happen to be in Puerto Rico during the WBC and would love to go to see a game, but I think the tickets are way to much (for me any way) $365.00. It's a shame because it would realy be something to see, What do you think?

that would be nice to watch in P.R. as for me, i already got my tickets for the second round in Anaheim and the finals in San Diego.


I found that one of my responses was copied and pasted by another user and that person won the points.  What is the recourse for this other than reporting the person for abuse?  Some nerve taking another person's response and passing it off as her own and the asker probably didn't realize he chose her copycat (word for word) answer over my original posting.  What do you all think?

I understand your pain! What happened with me was I had this awesome Michael Jackson joke I was dying to tell, so I posted it on a joke question. Then someone said 'anyone got any good michael jackson jokes?' I was so excited! Sad yes, but it was a good joke to tell!\n\nSo I scroll down, and someone's said their joke, and added at the end 'oh here's another one'..and added mine. I know you're thinking how can I be sure, and the problem is I can't, but THEIR joke was written with bad spelling and no capitalised pronouns, while my joke was perfect and capitalised. \n\nSorry about the big rant, but bitching about this stuff makes it so much better don't you find? :P
