Mr jawaharlal nehru was against the quota in 1971.

Do u see any merit in any Govt department? or any Govt functioning? Its like talking about a bullet train to people who have never seen anything better than a bullock cart! Now they want to increase seats.\nAlas! i wish increasing the seats in IIM and IIT would have been as easy as it is to make an Indian politician! Its so easy to make a politicians as it needs just a few lessons like\n- How to commit murders and rapes\n- How to take bribes\n- How to screw up the country by bending and curcumventing rules\n- How to act siphon of public money without being caught\n- How to sell the country\n- How to whip religeous, caste and separatist passions to garner votes\n- How to rig elections\n\nOn the other hand IIT's and IIM's are world class institutes and they make best of the Engineers and the best of managers in the world. They create best infrestructure and have to device international standards of teaching with the best vrains as faculties so its not easy to increase evene a single seat without a long planning and upgradation of infrastructure.\n\nThe problem is that people like Arjun singh think that its as easy to make world class manager as its to make a Indian class politician. The fact is its much easier to make a Raja Bhaiya or DP Yadav and very difficult to make a Narayan Murthy


this boy I know his mother speaks Italian.  Could I understand her if i know spanish.?

Both have a Latin base--- not close enough for her to understand Spanish due to dialect differences --- study both and you'll see what I'm talking about.(Even words that look the same can be pronounced differently)\n\nExample:La estación está cerca del hotel. The station is near the hotel.(Spanish)\n\nIn Italian:La stazione è vicino all'hotel


im in 9th grade so plz use terms u think i would understand

Botana curus produces Curol, a compound used for treating certain kinds of cancer.  Curol can not be produced in the laboratory.\n  Botana curus grows very slowly and is on the endangered species list, so its ability to provide curol in large quantities is limited\n  I do not quite remember where they grow( i learned that briefly in college, but if it is a terrestrial plant ( grows on land ) I would think that any of the other things that endanger other plants would endanger this one. Lets say, burning of forests to open area for farms. Introducing cows and other herbivorous (plant eating) in fields where the plants grow. If it is a strictly cold weather plant, may be the greenhouse effect (you know with the heating of the planet and so on. e-mail me with the exact environment where they grow and I will give do your homework! good luck


i like 2 hear opinions! anyways i pick dancing i looooooove 2 dance!!!!

I would rather dance - I love the outdoors, and the outdoors loves to leave it itchies all over me!  At least with dancing all I have to wash off afterwards is a lot of stinking cologne and I don't have to wear pink dots all over my body for the next ten days!!  By dance I don't mean wearing next to nothing either, I mean clean, fun dancing - I don't like to be pawed all over by some drunk.


Are you the kind of skeptical person that needs hard evidence to believe in such things? Also which religions actually believe in ghosts and paranormal?

Well, in so far as religions are concerned you might like to do a web-search on spiritualist churches. They believe in ghosts, spirit communications, and a wide variety of paranormal things. You'll also find wide acceptance of such things in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Wicca. For myself I don't need hard evidence, just a logical premise. That's good enough for me. And I don't discount emotions in such things. Logic has its place. So do emotions. So as often as not I follow my feelings, just as I often follow my thinking.


do u believe in ghost, vampires, mermaids, ufos, aliens, and the scary stories ur fwend is tellin' u? because some scary storys r fony but the rest is real!!!!!\n\n\n\n\nBOOO!!!!!!!

If I believed a thing was a myth, that would automatically mean I didn't believe in it.  If I believed in something, then I would automatically say it was not a myth.  Atheists believe God is a myth, Christians do not.  I think your question is a paradox.


anyone know the perfect match for a cancer??

If you'll base relationships on birth signs then you are stepping out from reality. Truth is if you want a workable (perfect doesn't exist) relationship, you should look for someone who could give you two things -RESPECT and LOYALTY- then everything else follows. How to know if he has them? 50 % is You won't, you will have to take chances or maybe trust is a better term and the other 50 % is you'll just know in time by just observing.


Who On This Site Will Be Watching The De-Coding Of The DA-Vinci Code This Week On The History Channel?...Religions Of All Kind!....Serious Question To Religions!..No Sarcasms & Insults Please!

What do you think the future will be like in 20 years? 50 years?


I thinkthis 12 step program may work.  Give it a shot liberals!\n\n\nThe Program: \n\nStep 1: Admitting that you’re a liberal This is the first step for every liberal on the way to recovery. It is important to understand that you’re not “progressive,” “moderate,” or “enlightened.” You’re a liberal, and you need to be honest with yourself about that fact. \n\nStep 2: Pledge to support your beliefs with facts Realize that truth is more important than moral superiority and is the only way to come over to reality. You must research beyond propaganda from the Sierra Club, Hillary Clinton, and CNN (the Communist News Network) to understand things as they really exist in the world. You can no longer argue based on “feelings” or emotion. You will actually need to back up your arguments with real information. This is a difficult step, because it means you can’t be lazy any more. \n\nStep 3: Love America This may be the most difficult step for those of you who are hippies and peaceniks. Admitting that the country you hate actually stands as a beacon to defend freedom throughout the world can make some of you physically ill. You might want to make a visit to a military cemetery to better understand that these men and women gave their lives so that you could spew hatred. Otherwise, you would currently be living in a police state that would never let you wear that nasty patchouli oil, let alone speak out against your government. \n\nStep 4: Take a college level economics class I’ve always defined a Socialist as someone who’s never taken an economics class. Most Socialists I’ve spoke with would have a hard time balancing their checkbooks, let alone explaining the simple concept of supply-and-demand. It’s time to flush your complete ignorance of basic economics down the toilet and understand how the world actually functions. This concept will be very important for the next steps that involve communism, facts about corporations, and the inefficiencies of government. \n\nStep 5: Say “no” to Communism and Socialism While this concept is obvious to most of the free world, it is an important step in your recovery process. If you have difficulty with this step, spend a week living and working in Cuba. \n\nStep 6: Corporations are not evil If you’re reading this article online or in an e-mail, it’s thanks to corporations. If you get some kind of paycheck, you can thank corporations. If you work for a non-profit or the government, you still have to thank corporations. The non-profit sector and the government wouldn’t have any money to pay you without corporations. It is also important that you understand that making a profit doesn’t equate to “greed” or exploitation. Capitalism has created the greatest society in our world’s history. Even communist countries need corporations to survive, so enjoy a nice, hot cup of reality. \n\nStep 7: The government is inefficient If you are one of those liberals who believe the government should tax us more in order to take care of society, you need to pay special attention to this step. You need to realize that government bureaucracy will waste most of your tax dollars, while the private sector will put your money to much better use. Even most Democrat politicians understand this to some degree, which is why Hillary’s socialist healthcare proposal was voted down by a majority of both Democrats and Republicans. Go to your local post office or call the IRS to ask a tax question if you need a reminder about government inefficiency. \n\nStep 8: The earth is not your “mother,” and she’s not dying The time has now come to stop your donations to Greenpeace, The Sierra Club, and every other EnviroNazi organization to which you belong. Face the reality that the earth, society, and our environment are better off today than ever in recorded history and that they are continuing to improve. I realize that many of you tree huggers will have a very difficult time letting

I am looking to buy a new racket and need some starting points...\n\nThanks

Forget about which racquet is the highest rated. The racquet is nothing. Proper technique is everything.\n\nGet a dozen demo racquets and play-test them. Buy the one that works best for you. Spend whatever money is left over on tennis lessons (private lessons are STRONGLY preferred). \n\nIf you can't afford private lessons, buy several instructional books and/or video tapes. This is surely the fastest way to improve.\n\nThe magic is not in the racquet.


is the army becoming to fill its quotas. He didn't know there was a war in Iraq. He was penciled in for cavalry observer, one of the more dangerous positions. His connection to combat was through video games, when asked if he understood the role of a soldier.

This is one source of this story http://www.oregonlive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news/1146882329307730.xml&coll=\n\nThe army only investigated after this story was in the newspaper. The parents contacted the recruiter and were told, " He is a man, he doesn't need his mommy making his decisions." They offered to bring his medical and school records as proof of disability and were blown off. The newspaper article was their only recourse to keep their disabled son safe. Shame on the this recruiter! I hope he is dicharged and severely reprimanded.\n\n\n\n**** As for holding jobs YES an adult with autism IF CAPABLE should hold a job to have some sense of accomplishment, to have something they can be proud of. The military is NOT the place for adults with autism. There are laws that prevent the disabled from being harassed by recruiters for a reason. There is a BIG difference between Xbox games showing military ops and the real deal. Severe anxiety, sensory issues, communication delay's and social delay's are just a few symptoms of autism and make it impossible for an adult with autism to serve in the military.


If a co worker said that all people from your home state were stupid while standing next to you and having a conversation with another co worker, and knowing full well you are from there ?

This entire situation is so middle school that it's best to just let this person show his/her own ignorance and the less said the better. In time, people will learn that this person has poor judgement, no manners, no character of his/her own and most of all, very poor taste. To say anything back does nothing but let people like that know thay have struck a nerve and that will not only open you up to more of their insults but will shine the same kind of light on you as well.\n\n... don't argue with drunks, children, or those who refuse to grow up!!


About six weeks ago I began noticing a small growth on my lip in the left corner of my mouth.  It was more like a skin tag. It began growing rapidly after that and is now about the shape and size of a small butter bean but the base of it is still like a skin tag.  I know its not a cold sore or fever blister or anything like I have ever seen before.  It is the same color and texture as my lips.  It does not burn or itch or hurt in anyway but it is very annoying and noticeable.  Does anyone have a clue?

It could be a mucocele. \nSee picture in\nhttp://www.ghorayeb.com/LipMucocele.html\nor a fibroma see\nhttp://www.ghorayeb.com/FibromaLipBuccal.html\nTo be sure see a doctor in Otolaryngology


the girl is actually my friend but she never thinks about love etc at all

I'm not certain what you mean when you say "rude girl", but if you are not romantically involved with her, why would you want to propose to her? Do you mean propose marriage?\n\nHow do you know that she never thinks about love?\n\nYou don't say how long you know her so if you know her for just a short time, you could change the relationship if you propose to her - and maybe that change would not be good.\n\nYou don't say why you want to propose to her - if you were to provide more information, then maybe we could help you more.\n\nGood Luck!

I m doing a persuasive essay on gay marraiges any ideas?

No, there is nothing wrong with it.  If a gay couple is in love, they deserve every right a hetero couple has. Marriage rights are exactly that, rights. And ever American is entitled to them. Some liberals even buy the conservative rhetoric against gay marriage. A common conservative tactic against liberal proposals is to convince the public that it would be  devastating financially. Similar arguments were made about abolishing slavery, workers unions, raising the minimum wage, and environmental protections. Gays represent about 5% of the population. Considering the number of hetero couples that get married and divorced, and the overall makeup of the economy, including the hundreds of billions spent on wars, corporate welfare, social programs, and numerous other government programs, the impact would be minimal and the economy would adjust without serious consequences.\n\nIt has more to do with religous idealogy and bigotry - they often go hand in hand. It's not only the idea of a gay couple being together they don't like, or the pretense that it would somehow cheapen their marriage. Along with marriage rights they would have the right to adopt, which also goes against their personal/religous beliefs.

Im tennis girl.after finishing a set I used to sit somewhere.\nMy coach approaches me and kneel down in front me.Placing his hands on my thighs, giving some tips about cricket.Meanwhile his eyes searching something b/w my legs.He often try to split my legs little bit.\nI cant neither tolerate this nor slapping him.cos, he was My mom's coach too once.\nHe suggest me shortest skirts and strap panties.I prefer shorts.But he influenced my mom to insist those minimum skirts.\nHow can I escape from this w/o hurt mom and my coach?

I'm a soccer coach (and a dad), and this is *very* serious!  It is *not* a sports or a tennis question!\n\nFirst, stop this instant from thinking of him as a tennis coach.  He is no longer a tennis coach (yours or your mom's).  He is a creepy man.  And he is probably more than that, he may be dangerous to you, and to other tennis students.  You didn't say how old you are, and how old he is ... if he's a 20-year-old teaching a 17 year old, that's just inappropriate behavior for a coach, and you should find another one ... but if he's 40 and you're 13, then this is *very* serious and he should not be coaching you or anyone else your age.\n\nThink about yourself first, and then about other girls he may be in contact with.  The reasons there are laws about this is precisely because young kids react like you do ... they don't know how to say to an adult "that is over the line!"\n\nOh, and BTW, I am taking you at your word that you're telling the truth, and not just making stories up on the Internet, trying to get out of tennis, or think he's a mean coach, or hate or are scared of your mom.  If it's true, then your story may (rightly) get him fired from ever coaching again, and maybe screw up his life in other ways (e.g., if he is married, has his own kids), which would be a horrible thing to do if it is *not* true, no matter how much an a*hole of a coach he is.  If you're just hating your tennis lessons, and are scared to tell your mom, then find another way to get out of it than destroying this man's career and life.

You know, there's really no need to tell me to go back to the States when I ask a serious question - and frankly I'm considering moving to where I am simply because I don't WANT to go back to America - just because I'm American doesn't meant that I agree with what America does, and just because you don't agree doesn't give you the right to place judgement on a citizen from there.  If you don't like our government, then fine, but I'm not a government official and I DIDN'T VOTE FOR ANY OF THEM.

I read this on another answer but am having trouble believing it. Our bodies have internal feedback mechanisms that can adjust the acidity in our stomachs, so I have trouble believing that drinking water while eating can reduce the acidity of the stomach to the point that the food isn't digested properly. The food itself is providing a buffer to the acid and most food contains a lot of water... I think you'd have to drink gallons before this was a problem.\n\nIf you respond please let me know where you got your information from.

You have it right. Your body needs some water to help digest your food. For one thing, the food we eat has vitamins and minerals. Some of those are water soluable and need some watery substance to digest them properly. Especially if you are taking a multi vitamin with food.


Who do you think would've won if they fought, in their prime?

tough one, both used to fighting taller men, fraziers chin was better, tyson more powerful, frazier was better on stamina, tyson would have to knock him out. if it went to points, frazier. holmes was better than both though in his prime most underrated boxer ever


choose between these character who will win in a fight, I know that a Chinese agent have more martial arts skills to fight but consider that Jason Bourne Training, cost some millions bucks well please tell me.\n\nLiu Jian, a Chinese agent (Jet Li)\n\nor\n\nJason Bourne, a CIA agent (Matt Damon)

Martin Riggs, a character played by Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapons movies, was also trained. He was in the Marines Corps before becoming a police oficer. Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4 ws just a triad and was able to kick the crap out of Riggs.\n\nMy vote is Jet Li's Liu Jian.


him without greatly endangering their own survival, (since he had on oxygen in his tank).\n\nThey have been ostracised--"they broke the code of climbers, (that no one in trouble should be left to die 'on the mountain'").\n\nWhat are the thoughts you have on the morality of their decision?

I've been reading everything I could find on this -- including a couple of forums with posters who actually climb mountains (including Everest).  A few facts:\n\n1.  David Sharp made a bad decision -- he didn't take enough oxygen.\n2.  The people who passed him were on their way UP, not down.  They could have helped without endangering their lives (more than they already had by climbing that high).  All they would have jeopardized is their chance to reach the summit.  They put their bragging rights ahead of a human life.\n3.  Worth noting:  Sir Edmund Hillary has condemned their actions.  He says that he would have turned back -- even on his summit attempt (FIRST successful summit of Everest in 1953) -- no record, no bragging rights, are worth more than a human life.\n4.  For those who say he would have died anyways, I have only two words -- Beck Weathers.  Beck was left to die on Everest in that horrible 1996 disaster because he was so close to death they "knew" they couldn't save him.  Not only did he have frostbite, but he had lost a mitten and his hand was frozen.  The searcher had to break the ice on his face to tell that he was still breathing.  Since it was "obvious" that he would be dead soon, they concentrated on getting others out who had a better chance of survival.  They were a bit shocked when, some hours later, Beck stumbled into camp.  They tucked him up with hot tea and sleeping bags and went back to trying to save others.  They didn't think he would survive the night.  He did.  He is still alive -- minus both hands, an arm, and I forget how much other damage.  But he survived.  \n\nJust in case it isn't clear, I stand with Sir Edmund Hillary on this one -- there is no excuse for not trying to help a climber in danger.  David Sharp made some bad decisions -- he didn't prepare adequately -- the 40 people who passed him also made a bad decision when they put their egos over his life.\n\nOh ... wrathpuppet -- it's not the same guy.  The one your link points to is Lincoln Hall.  He was higher than David Sharp -- and they got him down.  He's alive.


whichever dandruff control shampoo i have used it made hair fall more than natural.So now what to do?

Looking for Dandruff Information? Here's a whole blog filled with information on dandruff.\n\nhttp://getridofdandruff.blogspot.com/


the pic is my gf not me. i dont know how i got someone like her but she loves me and wants to marry me.

She is a pretty lady.  Congratulations!!!  I had to look at your profile on one of the questions you had asked because it was gender specific, and it was then that I realized the picture was of your fiance.  Ain't love great!


Montengro has emerged on the map of the world the newest independent nation. She is the last federal republic to split from the Serb-dominated former Yugoslavia, which was founded after the First World War. Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia fought their way out in the 1990s in wars that cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Macedonia split peacefully. Montenegro will be the first new country in Europe since Czechoslovakia broke up in 1993.

Congratulations and apologies for the snotty attitude of a few idiot users here.

i am going to canada and going to marry a canadian woman what happens next?

I married a Canadian Woman. I now live in Canada. This does not give you automatic Canadian citizenship. It is a process that takes some time to get. \n\nFirst you have to become a "Landed Immigrant". If you have no criminal record it is relatively only time consuming. Do not use one of the immigration consultant. They are a waste of money. Instead do it yourself with the help of one of the Yahoo group Canadian immigration groups. They can help you with each step. They helped my wife and me a lot. Then in about 3 years you can apply for citizenship and get dual citizenship. DO NOT return to the US or your country of origin during the process as you may not be allowed to return.\n\nIf you have been divorced, before you can marry in Canada you have to get several letters from lawyers and certified copies of every divorce decree. If your spouse died then you must have death certificates as well. This has to be sent into the Provincial government and approved before you can get your marriage license. It is a process that can take several weeks to get together, sent, and returned so plan on that.\nGood luck and remember it will take lots of time to accomplish it all...


I never usually go on myspace, but I have a friend who I would like to look up. I only know the first name and the city they live in. I know they are on there, but I can't find them. help???

Go to search and you can either type their name, their Myspace name, or the email address. Then it will show a list of people and you can narrow it by the zip code along with the number of miles from that zip.


He has taught us the power of struggle without giving in to opposition.  He has taught us the importance of high ideals and principled objectives.\n\n\nMandela's words, "The struggle is my life," are not to be taken lightly.\n\nNelson Mandela personifies struggle. He is still leading the fight against apartheid with extraordinary vigour and resilience after spending nearly three decades of his life behind bars. He has sacrificed his private life and his youth for his people, and remains South Africa's best known and loved hero.\n\nMandela has held numerous positions in the ANC: ANCYL secretary (1948); ANCYL president (1950); ANC Transvaal president (1952); deputy national president (1952) and ANC president (1991).\n\nHe was born at Qunu, near Umtata on 18 July 1918.\n\nHis father, Henry Mgadla Mandela, was chief councillor to Thembuland's acting paramount chief David Dalindyebo. When his father died, Mandela became the chief's ward and was groomed for the chieftainship.\n\nMandela matriculated at Healdtown Methodist Boarding School and then started a BA degree at Fort Hare. As an SRC member he participated in a student strike and was expelled, along with the late Oliver Tambo, in 1940. He completed his degree by correspondence from Johannesburg, did articles of clerkship and enrolled for an LLB at the University of the Witwatersrand.\n\nIn 1944 he helped found the ANC Youth League, whose Programme of Action was adopted by the ANC in 1949.\n\nMandela was elected national volunteer-in-chief of the 1952 Defiance Campaign. He travelled the country organising resistance to discriminatory legislation.\n\nHe was given a suspended sentence for his part in the campaign. Shortly afterwards a banning order confined him to Johannesburg for six months. During this period he formulated the "M Plan", in terms of which ANC branches were broken down into underground cells.\n\nBy 1952 Mandela and Tambo had opened the first black legal firm in the country, and Mandela was both Transvaal president of the ANC and deputy national president.\n\nA petition by the Transvaal Law Society to strike Mandela off the roll of attorneys was refused by the Supreme Court.\n\nIn the 'fifties, after being forced through constant bannings to resign officially from the ANC, Mandela analysed the Bantustan policy as a political swindle. He predicted mass removals, political persecutions and police terror.\n\nFor the second half of the 'fifties, he was one of the accused in the Treason Trial. With Duma Nokwe, he conducted the defence.\n\nWhen the ANC was banned after the Sharpeville massacre in 1960, he was detained until 1961 when he went underground to lead a campaign for a new national convention.\n\nUmkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the military wing of the ANC, was born the same year. Under his leadership it launched a campaign of sabotage against government and economic installations.\n\nIn 1962 Mandela left the country for military training in Algeria and to arrange training for other MK members.\n\nOn his return he was arrested for leaving the country illegally and for incitement to strike. He conducted his own defence. He was convicted and jailed for five years in November 1962. While serving his sentence, he was charged, in the Rivonia trial, with sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment.\n\nA decade before being imprisoned, Mandela had spoken out against the introduction of Bantu Education, recommending that community activists "make every home, every shack or rickety structure a centre of learning".\n\nRobben Island, where he was imprisoned, became a centre for learning, and Mandela was a central figure in the organised political education classes.\n\nIn prison Mandela never compromised his political principles and was always a source of strength for the other prisoners.\n\nDuring the 'seventies he refused the offer of a remission of sentence if he recognised Transkei and settled there.\n\nIn the 'eigh

However if you do know the girl's myspace page and have seen her face please tell me.  Pictures can be found at this link- http://www.pwpix.net/superstars/j/johncena/gallery/photoscans/1/?gal=1&pic=38  If you do know her myspace I would very much appreciate you telling me it.  Thanks everybody!


I'm on debate and i'm curious as to what kids think of us.

I was on the team ... I honestly don't think half the student populous even realized there was a speech and debate class.


and if you also happen to know how long they live that would REALLY help.   Thanks!

Is there a user friendly spy ware program that will block the spy ware before it even gets onto my computer?

For all you people who love to praise adaware, just for your information its made by lavasoft.  Guess who helps make spyware  LAVASOFT!  How un-bias do you think adaware really is?\n\nI am a security specialist I have been dealing with removing spyware for years and lavasoft has been a pain in my butt for many of them.\n\nIf you want to use an anti-spyware program use spybot\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/


The formula is\nA = Pe^(rt), where A is the amount returned, P is the original amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the number of years.\nP = 2000\nr = 2% = .02\nA = 2000e^(.02t)\n"How long will it take?" means you are looking for t.\nIn order to find t, you will need to know A.


some guy was talking 2 one of his friends and i overheard wat they were saying and i couldn't help but wonder. he said that jacking off in the shower feels good, in bed it burns, and in public it hurts. guys, is this true?

HA HA HA HA , this is a really good question it stuck my attention so that why i'm replying to you :* . but before i start i wanna thank ya for asking a men question as you might be caring about your bf's issues.... lol .\n\nok now jacking off in the shower, ya it does feel good and the reason is because the woodie is stimulated by the heat of the water and maybe from the stream of the water. also it does make the woodie hard. but the only problem is that you don't get the chance to see the juice :)) since guys like to see how far they shoot their juice :P . but jacking off in bed, has no burnning effect and don't listen to it because its all BS.\n\nif ya need to chit chat just drop me a line at my yahoo messengar  its funride2005 \n\nhope that helps.\n\nLove Ali(29 male)


I need to discus the validity of a certain person both in person and over the phone. This is public information, and it will be so valuable for me to have someone able to look up this information then we could talk about it.

It's been my dream for the last few years to go to the State Senate and work as a Fellow ... I had the interview last week and didn't do too well.  Interviews are incredibly hard for me.  Here is a link to the program that I'd wanted so much if you're interested http://www.csus.edu/calst/senate/\n\nThen today I found out that I didn't get it ... (I was put on the waiting list though).  I'm totally devastated.  I'm just here in my pajamas watching an old church movie named "Legacy" and crying.

Rest for now...but never give up your dream.  California State Fellows is a worthwhile dream, you did good in getting as far as you did!  Very few even make it through the initial screening/interviews I would imagine.  Smile to all involved, show them you are proud to have made it this far, and do not let go of this dream.  You may still make it.\n\nNothing wrong in letting go and feeling the emotional letdown.  Indulge yourself for now, but redouble your inner resolve for the future.  Talk to family and friends, seek to get over the disappointment just one as who has lost a loved one must grieve.  \n\nIn fact, consider this, you deserve to relaxe and feel like you have the right to treat yourself to something special right now after all that effort.  Tomorrow is Friday, go out, go do what you have been wanting to do.  Go and splurge and treat yourself to a time you have not had in a long time while involved in the application process.\n\nWhatever you do, do not let this affect your mental state.  Remain strong, committed to strive and succeed, just as before.  Know that you did your best and take pride in the fact you took the risk.  Do not punish yourself, but love yourself and others around you for all that you are and will be.


I still don't get it!! I know it's a bit late for the question....but i just wanna know why?? He is a bad president and person....so why chose him as a leader again?? It's like making the same mistake twice!

You question assumes that he was elected the first time around. I disagree. He was selected. Second time...his cronies owned and built the voting machines,and Kerry was a shallow puppet douche. Add it up, it was rigged. I hate Bush. I assume that you hate Bush. 69% of the country hates Bush. And the rest of the whole world hated Bush. ABASSO IL RE! (Italian, not Spanish. For all you little bigots out there clenching your teeth and shaking your little fists, there is a difference.)


i want to go and visit my husband ,but they say i need to have a tied or proof that i will come back after my visit period,it is not fare i cant live with him becas of immigration process &now not even visit him ,is there some one who can help me ,so i can spend some time (months)with my husband?

Apply for a tourist visa. That is the best way to get there temporarily. This is usually good for 6 months. Be good and be out on time...


I would like to download all the pictures or files in a web folder say http://www.website.com/partypix/ - Is this possible with a programme or something?

I have found that having my business buy houses would be a lot more expensive than it would be for me. Or would this only be true initially?

Having your business buy the property will cost you more because you will need a commercial mortgage with higher interest rates. It is easier to get mortgages that are for you personally, or for a multifamily with 4 units or less. Talk to a lender about this and they will give you a good sense of your options.\nIf I you have the means you might consider buying and renovating a house for yourself and moving every two years. Research you market carefully and put ion alot of sweat equity instead of capital. This way you get to pocket the entire profit without captial gains, as long as you declare it your primary residence. You can also look into doing a 1031 exchange if you live there for less than 2 years to delay the tax payments and use the money in your next acquisition.\nAnother path could be to buy a 3 or 4 family with a commercial mortgage and an LLC to protect youself, rent them, convert the whole building to condos, then renovate the units one at a time as tenants turnover happens and sell the condos indiviually if the market is good. Be sure to talk to the lending bank about your conversion plans before setting up the financing.\nI recommend a trip to the library and read as much as possible before doing anything. Others have done this before, and they share the experience through books.\nGood luck!!


i am working on isotonic hypertonic and hypotonic. She gave me a bowl with a leaf in it. the leaf has 72% H2O and 28% Nacl.what could be a good set of #'s if i tell you that water is entering the cells of the plant?  ____H2O   ___Nacl \n what kind of solution is it?

Water will move across the cell membrane from an area of low sodium concentration to high sodium concentration in an effort to equalize the concentration on both sides of the cell wall.  The NaCl will NOT cross the cell membrane, so the water MUST cross to create equilibrium.\n\nSo, if the leaf has 28% NaCl, then the solution the leaf was placed in would have to have a NaCl concentration of less than 28% to cause the water to move into the cells.\n\nAs a very simplified example, if the solution is 14% NaCl, water will move from the solution into the leaf, raising the NaCl concentration in the solution and lowering it in the leaf until they are equal - somewhere in between.\n\nThis is why, in medicine, we typically adminster IV's of 0.9% NaCl.  This is an isotonic solution - the same concentration as blood plasma, so water is neither drawn into the blood cells or out of them, maintaining the integrity of the cells.


I most of the time tend to drool alot while sleeping especially when i am sleeping on my tummy... please suggest a good solution... its very irritating... i am 21...

quit sleeping on your stomach, everyone drools in their sleep

im a runner with a problem.  i can run far and i can run really really fast the only problem is even if i do really easy training and build up to it whennever i run  just a lil bit farther than i have been for the last 5 years i get fatigue and sore all over.  the worst are the shins, ive tried strengthening them but it doesnt seem to do much. ive tried ice, heat, reasting, cutting back on traing, nothing seems to work. Help me out???

Shin splints  \n\nShin splints are a condition where there is pain in the anterior tibia caused by overuse of the legs. They are most common in inexperienced runners who overtrain, but anyone engaging in running or other high-impact sports may experience them. The pain is typically in the upper, anterior tibia and is worsened by exertion. There may be slight tenderness of the affected region.

As a certified pharmacy technician and instructor for a pharmacy tech class at an Illinois college, the topic has come up whether the students should obtain liability insurance, like pharmacists and doctors have to protect them in case of accidental injury or death.  I haven't been able to find an answer.  Are technicians liable for mistakes if a licensed pharmacist has checked their work, or are they covered under some sort of umbrella for liability through the pharmacy they work for?  I've been in the field for 11 years and have never had someone suggest I get liability insurance.  Thanks for your help.

Perhaps:\n\nYes you are covered by the institutions liability insurance, but this is also true of MD's and PharmD.  They get there own because they want someone fighting in their corner fighting for there best interests and not the hospital or pharmacy.\n\nTechs have liability when they make a mistake regardless of who checks it, however it is doubtful a lawyer would sue because they do not have the deep pockets a MD, PharmD, Hospital, Chain pharmacy have.\n\nSo theoretically Yes they should, in reality I doubt it is necessary.  The profession is changing as techs gain more and more responsibilities so this could change in a few years.


In the last FIFA World Cup. it was beckham on the injury list, this time it is Owen and Rooney.

Well as you know the premier league is highly competitive and it requires every player to give it all they have. It is unfortunate the situation England is. All I can say is the players are not only dedicated to their country, they are also dedicated to the team(s) they play for.


the reason i ask is because they can find dead animals in the woods. i've always wondered how they can spot this from way up in the air, not to mention being able to see thru the tree tops.

Yes. New World vultures (family Cathartidae, we call them "jotes" around here) are among the few birds with well-developed sense of smell. Other birds that use smell to forage include the albatrosses and petrels (Procellariiformes) and the flightless kiwi (Apterygiformes). \nSome interesting links:\nhttp://elibrary.unm.edu/sora/Auk/v111n02/p0285-p0291.pdf\nhttp://www.ecology.info/condors-2.htm\nhttp://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/psych396/student2002/hcs7/

When using Yahoo! Geocities (because I find it easier than having to use all the HTML) you can only use images with a .jpg/.jpeg or .gif format.

Everyone needs God. But God gave us a choice on who to serve. Him or Satan. People say God gives us free will, but not so. The inly will God gives us is His holy word. The Bible. That is the will for us. the devil doesn't have a will. Therefore whoever follows him will be doomed for eternal damnation. That's why it is important to hold to God and serve him. He is the only one who sticks closer than a friend, brother, mother, father, cousin, aunt, teacher or anybody else. He's there in the good times and the bad times. He'll never leave you or forsake you. God can\ndo more than what other man made gods can't do.

i want to know this because i no longer want to live with my mother or father. also  if i had to choose i would prefer to live with my dad what defenses should i use stating that my mother is unstable. and if i were to be emancipated what financial aids would i recieve (if any) from the government and my family. and what would be the legal aspects, such as the fact that id be considered an adult. id appreciate anyones help on this.

if you become emancipated, you receive no financial aids from the government or parents.  One of the steps to becomming emancipated is proving to the judge that you can legally support yourself financially.

I agree that Wikipedia is an excellent web site to look up facts about coral reefs. You can also search for "facts about coral reefs" or "coral reef" without the quotes at www.yahoo.com. Besides Yahoo, www.google.com is a very good to an excellent site. I also have used www.altavista.com. This is a good search engine although it is older. Sometimes it will find things that the others cannot find. I use many search engines. If one doesn't seems to be finding the info that I want after many trys, then I will go to another one and if that one does not pick up the info I want after many tries then I go to yet another search engine and try again. It takes many tries and changing search words around quite a lot sometimes. You might have to refine your search term. That is, what specifically do you want to learn about coral reefs? Use that as a search term and be sure to include coral reefs in your new search term. Sometimes there are too many words in a search term and you have to go through and pick out the important ones so that the search engine picks up the correct info. For example, suppose you wanted to learn why the sky is blue and the clouds are white and you typed in "why are the clouds white and the sky blue?" without the quotes. Say you would get info on weather and how clouds are formed instead of what you wanted to know so the next search, you'd type in "science sites" without the quotes and this would give you a list of science sites. Then you'd go to one of these sites and type in "why is the sky blue?" without the quotes and you'd receive a list of sites and one or more would have the info that you wanted. Then, to find out why clouds were white you'd type "why are clouds white?" in the search box of the science site and then search for the answers. You'd received a lits of sites and you'd find some sites in this list where you could find the answer that you were seeking about clouds being white. The reason I suggested using a science search engine is that for certain things, it is better to use a specialized search engine instead of a general purpose one (Google, Yahoo, etc.)


i gotta go and take a drug test either tomorrow or the next day, but i took the pill about a week ago will i come out positive on my drug test?

it shouldn't.  amphetamines are cleared relatively quickly from the system and are really only present in your urine for a day or two.  \n\nhowever, there are newer tests of your hair that can detect ecstasy for longer


Most of the world has it, and I do not like the American system (I forget the name).  I mean, I know it would cost alot of money, but it would be worth it.  I think.

I agree we should switch and the government has tried to get us to use it before but many Americans just don't want to learn it.  In the UK they are  complaining about it and an Australian told me alot of the older generation there still refer to everything in miles.  The best thing to do is prepare the next generation for it and maybe put signs in both the metric and miles and then eventually take away the miles part.


What can i do.  and no, live bears do not count.  it needs to have action.  im thinking cotton w/alliminum foil...

Vector A has a magnitude of 13 units at a direction of 250 degrees and vector B has a magnitude of 27 units at 330 degrees, both measured with respect to the positive x axis\nfirst what is the sum of A and B\nsecond what is the vector C=A-B\nhow is this done

I would convert both vectors to cartesian form using simple trigonometry. 250 degrees is a 3rd quadrant angle so its sine and cosine are -cos(70) and -sin(70) respectively.\n\nA is (-13 cos(70), -13 sin(70)) = (-4.4463, -12.2160)\n\nA quick check here: square these numbers and add them together, and you get 169.0000, which means I've got the right answer so far, by Pythagoras. \n\nSimilarly \nB is (-27 cos(60), +27 sin(60)) = (-13.5, +23.383)\n\nSame check still says I am on the right track. \nBut note that these things are vectors so you write them with the x displacement above the y displacement, not on one line as I have because I'm using a dumb keyboard instead of a pencil like real mathematicians do. \n\nA + B = (-4.4463, -12.2160) + (-13.5, +23.383)\n= (-16.6623,  +11.167)\n= (-16.66, +11.17) to 2 dp\n\nC = A - B = (-4.4463, -12.2160) - (-13.5, +23.383)\n= (+9.0537, -35.599)\n= (+9.05, -35.60) to 2 dp\n\nIf you prefer, you can convert the vectors back into polar form\n\nA + B = (-16.6623,  +11.167)\nx is -ve and y is +ve so this is a 4th quadrant angle\narctan(16.6623/11.167) = arctan(0.670196) = 33.8298 deg\nSo the angle of A + B is 33.83 + 270 = 303.83 deg to 2 dp\nThe length of the vector by Pythagoras again, jolly useful fellow he must have been\n16.6623^2 + 11.167^2 = 402.334 = 20.0583^2\nSo A + B = 20.06 in a direction 303.83 deg\n\nSimilarly\nC = (+9.0537, -35.599)  2nd quadrant angle\narctan(35.599/9.0537) = 75.7308 deg\n90 + 75.7308 = 165.7308\n9.0537^2 + 35.599^2 = 36.7323^2\nHence the vector C is 36.73 in a direction 165.73 to 2 dp


My man moved my friend. She stayed round and got drunk on courvosier and she slept in the bed with us. him on the left, me in the middle her on the right. \n\nshe told me next day that he fingered her whilst we were sleeping and she moved his hand as soon as she realised. He also asked for her number, i think he asked for that ca he wanted to tell her not to tell me. he didnt tel me about the number ting, and said that she moved to him, not him to her. I beleive my friend cause of the number ting, as he didnt mention that to me. what should i do. \n\nplease help me im goin mad.

yu should here both stories frist but if she was drunk then how does she know what he was doing but if he loves you then i don't think he would do that but why would you friend say that he did that to her  but i would talk to both at the same time.


a) the number of outer shell electrons it can gain or lose.\nb) the number of molecules it can form\nc) its mass number\nd) the number of inner shell electrons it can gain or lose\ne) its atomic number

the answer is a, the number of outer shell electrons it can gain or lose.\n\nthia is because that outer electrons are the ones the define the atom in terms of bonding. \nmass nubmer and atomic number dont matter much [as lower level chemistry] for bonds. we know that the number of molecules it can form is infinite, and inner shells dont matter, leaving us wiht (A), the only right answer

Hello, sounds like you have alot on your plate! Working, financial, raising a child, depression...\nI was wondering that you might possibly see a doctor to help you through the depression! There is nothing wrong with medication - I'm on it! At first I thought it meant I was crazy, but I was told, and it's true: that if someone has diabetes they have to take medication, and it's the same thing.\nI was a young mother of two, career, bad marriages, traumatic childhood, and severe chemical imbalance.\nQuote "No one said life would be easy". \nI know that's crappy, but (quote) "time heals" - even though I'm 45 and still trying to get my stuff together...\nSome days are better than others - And I've made it this far! Learned alot of lessons too!


How do you justify free grace when Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing in a field who found a pearl of great price, sold all he had, and bought the field so he could own the pearl?  Shouldn't it have just been given to him in the parable then?

A common misperception. Grace is given freely to us for eternal life or heaven as some people say, but the Kingdom of heaven or the Kingdom of God refers to the 1,000 year millennial reign of Christ upon this earth at His return. Toward this we labor and strive, forsaking all, obeying the mandates of the New Testament, serving our fellow man, etc. Christianity is both free and costly. We shall be either rewarded or punished for our efforts in this life during that period. This is yet another clear and plain teaching of the gospel that the modern church has ignored or spiritualized, to the detriment of its followers.


This guy I like calls me 'Chicka Bonita'. He also calls me 'girlfriend' and winks at me often. One night he kissed my hand and told me to have the sweetest dreams before I went upstairs to bed. I want to know what Chick Bonita means, in what language, and men: do you think he likes me, or is he just playing games?

I don't speak Spanish and it seems that you don't either.  I consider it rude for someone from another country to come here and speak a foreign language to an American unless he/she first asks (in English) if they speak that language.  If he likes you, he will want to speak to you in your language.  I know that if I wanted to talk to a beautiful woman who doesn't speak English, I would learn how to speak her language.  I would not use English words that she doesn't know because it's very, very rude and I would want her to like me to.  How can I get her to like me if she doesn't understand what I'm telling her?


where are the forms available and when is the enterance exams going to be held for BIOTECNOLOGY.


u can visit www.alwayscollections.com and enter theme section. u will get as many screensovers as u want


We are a fun young untraditional couple up of almost anything.

First of all, figure out something about who you are as a couple that you can use as a theme in your wedding – something you like to do, a place you love to go to, your first date… try to think of ways to bring that theme in, whether it’s setting up karaoke if you love that, or basing everying on Moulin Rouge.  There are other unusal things you can do, too.  One thing I’ve heard of is to have a photo booth brought in to your reception site – it can give you and/or your guests some fun mementoes.  One of my friends named her tables after different spots that held memories for her and her fiancé – at each table was a card with a picture of the place and a short story or explanation on the back.  With the right location, you can set your reception up so that it flows through different rooms – one room for appetizers and cocktails, done up all in blue, then the next room for the main meal, done all in white, then another room for dancing and cake, done all in pink; this can be done with different themes/colors/etc, or all the same theme.  You can set up a little “lounge” area, with couches and comfy chairs for people to hang out.  The website below has some other interesting ideas.  Good luck, and congratulations!


yet why is it males between the ages of 16-21 have an incredible poor ability to drive. With all those 'skills' developed, you should be able to fly an F-16...\n\nBut, OH, that's not the REAL world, and neither is Fast and Furious...

It's like saying that masturbation is equal to running a mile.  If that were true every people on the planet would be in absolutely incredible shape.

My younger brother’s only 24, his hair starts receding, he’s using topical minoxidil but I guess its not helping anyway. What would be the best effective treatment for male pattern alopecia?

Consult your physician, otherwise there is nothing wrong with baldness - my husband is bald and I find him very sexually attractive.


Should an individual be literate(know how to read/write) for that person to have an opportunity to vote public officials? Why?

I would tend to believe that people should be informed before exercising democratic rights, but given the multiple forms of media available, literacy does not necessarily determine information.\n\nHowever, requiring basic media literacy would be nice.  But then public officials would have a harder time spinning information and may actually have to start being honest.

i am looking for an ms office alternative apart from open office

I have tried 3 alternatives. I will list them in order of compatability with MS Office.\n\n1. Open Office - you said to exclude this but it is by far the most compatible to use instead of MS Office. There are usually no issues opening any of the file types.\n\n2. Ability Office - Nice cheap and seems to work well. Definatly not a bad alternative. we found a few bugs opening spreadsheets, but that was for the most part the only issue we had.\n\n3. Star Office(sun microsystems) - An alterative that we did not look to much into. We were warned off by other people that were using it. \n\nhope this helps...


Many people say President Bush lied about WMD in Iraq. The list of other people and nations is endless. The QUESTION is did Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards, Al Sharpton, Ted Kennedy, Barbra Boxer & the nations of England, France, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Canada, Germany, Eqypt, Isreal, and on & on...they have ALL said Iraq\nhad WMD including over 70 sciencetist that escaped Iraq. Did these people also lie about WMD in Iraq???\nPlease keep on SUBJECT...don't wonder off into other subjects that cloud the issue, we can debate other subjects on OTHER questions.\nPLEASE NO name-calling..I'm asking for CLEAR adult mature answers..if you want to name call or get off subject please answer other questions.\nSo the QUESTION is did the other People & Nations I listed also LIE about WMD in Iraq??????..that's it!

this is for answer man when President Clinton was in office he told Americia that Saddam had wmds.

i haven't had the best of grades through high school due to slacking off and making other things more important..would going to community college for two years and upping my grade point average there (hopefully) help me get into a pre-med program if my grades are pretty good at the community college?

YES! I was in the same boat you are in now.  I went to community college and busted my butt to raise my grades. It is cheaper, and you don't have to worry about acceptance.  After 2 years of good performance, they didn't even look at my high school history.  I got a 4.0 in community college and was eligible to go to top colleges.  The only thing is...you really have to be committed to get in to med school.  If you still can't hack it in community college...med school isn't for you.  Get serious!\n\n\nBy the way...what the guy said about colleges not looking favorably on you in the sciences...that's not true.  I was a chemistry and geology double major and went on to great things.  I got lots of scholarships and now I have a great job. Don't listen to him!


Yesterday I asked if I could get the results to the May 2006 Kentucky Equestrian Competition.  Who won each category, the Dressage, Cross Country and the Stadium Jumping, and who was the all around champion.  Also, could you explain what each event is, and what is required in each category.  I did get an answer today, and as I was checking my emails my computer had a glitch of somekind and I lost most of my emails.  Could you please resend the answer, it is for my granddaughter.  She has never watched an event like this before and has shown a genuine interest in the sport.  Thanks for doing this for me again, I am truly grateful.  Cyndi L. 5/8/06

ditto.\n\nYou can find all of your answers on the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event website, www.rk3de.org. If your grandaughter is interested in eventing, might I suggest looking at the Pony Club website, www.pcuk.org.

This has been happening a lot to me lately.  I'm not complaining, I look forward to going to bed, though!

This is a great dream! I've experienced it a few times.  Sexual dreams can have other meanings other than just sex, sometimes I guess it's the minds way of releasing certain tensions/stresses that we're unable to shrug off in waking life.  Other than that, yes, girls who have sexy dreams are highly sexed. Lucky us.


im on the pill and stuff but cud i still be pregnant xx please help

My husband and I are separated. Not legally. I left this past February because of emotional abuse. He and I have a 10 yr old son.  He's been apologetic for his actions...sometimes. Other times, he's just angry and denies any abuse. Recently, he's been on the nicer side. Truth is, I'm not in love with him anymore, if I ever was. We just got married June 12, 2004. We had been apart before that, again, because of emotional abuse and I decided to give him another chance after 8 yrs of being apart. Now, he's trying to get me back, or so it seems. Flowers at work, invitations out, being nice when we see each other. I just don't love him anymore. I don't even like who he is. I haven't for a long time. His desires for his life, his outlook, his attitude toward people, his language, his heart, etc. He masked all of this for a long time and when confronted about why he'd changed so much since, he said "I did what I had to do to get my family back. Now he wants to spend our anniversary together.

You're done?  Then be done and don't linger in the relationship. It sounds like he's willing to do what ever it takes to get back into your lives, but he won't continue.  Once he is comfortable you will revisit why you separated. Give yourself time to heal and keep moving in the direction you know will be better for you and your child.  There's nothing to celebrate except your freedom!


I'm on 80 mg of Celexa and 60 mg of Cymbalta.  I feel extraordinarily depressed.  Is it possible that I could actually feel better on a LOWER amount of anti-depressants?

Even a low dose can if it is not the right medicine for you. Everyone is different and every antidepressant acts differently for each person. Check with your doctor about this or any other side effects that you may be having. And yes if the dose is too high it can cause the symptoms you are trying to treat. I was taking 100mg of Seroquel at night to help me sleep and level my mood. It worked but when we increased the dose to 200mg I still had a level mood, but my sleep was worse than before I took any medication. We went back down to 100mg and I am sleeping and keeping a good mood.\n\nTry the links below for each of your medications. Look at side effects and overdose for your specific concerns. I do hope this helps you out.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry


I am still pregnant and the father of the baby is in Iraq but we are no longer together.  Is is possible to not have the father of the baby on the birth certificate at the time of birth and the file for child support.  He wants to establish paternity, but we both know that it is his, but he doesn't come back from Iraq until February of 2007.  Can I file for child support with or with out paternity as long as he is on or off the birth certificate?

He does not need to be on the birth certificate, if the father is questioning whether he is the father you may have to wait until he returns to get blood work done. a DNA test will prove  he is the father wether he is on the certificate or not. If you have trouble getting child support from him, the state, the county attorney, I think, will go after him for you. Good luck  But until you can prove he's the father you may be on your own financially. You probably will have to got to court, when you are there ask for back child support. Be strong and good luck.

I know i've seen these used on commercials a few times.  They're metal, and extend down from your legs.  In one commercial you see them being used in the city because they make you move greater distances with each step.  In another commercial, a man is wearing them and he does a backflip, I think its for the dicsovery channel.

I think their called jumpers.  Check out as seen on tv website.    It should be on there.

For some reason, I still feel like I really missed out on the college experience. I'm not too far off yet, I graduated HS in 05' and just went to work since Sophmore year. \n\nMy grades in HS weren't that good, SAT score a decent 12-1300's, but I don't know if it is worth my time to go to college.\n\nRight now, I'm working in a great place making a good living and it's a spot a lot of people would want. Should I quit and  go to college or just stick with what I love doing now?\n\nIf I decided to go, where should I go? What are the general requirements to get to a decent university and what else do I need to get there? Help me out guys I'm stuck.

i you love doing it then that is all that matters, college doesn't garunte you a place in the career world. I myself love my job but my family wants me to go to college. So i signed up for pulaski tech, its a community college. that is the best way to go, its the cheapest, get your basics at a community, and you get this little diploma thing, then if you feel like goin to actual college more power to you. but you don't have to quit, there are night classes, on-line classes, corespondence classes (which i highly recommend)

WHAT IS FLAMBE AND WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE

Flambe is to put a flame to a food as you serve it. Typically, you add spirit alcohol (like brandy) to the dish and light a match to it. The flame is fed by the evaporating alcohol and it will die out when the alcohol is gone.


why do people act the way they do: some people are muderer, theives, while others are humble, gentle and can not inflict injury on people. why?

Psychology has the answer to your question.


I think that my brother has a mental problem, I don't mean this as in insult, I actually think he needs psycological treatment. When he does something to support this or I tell my parents, the punish me for even sugesting such a thing, and refuse to even entertain the notion. Is there anyway to force he to be examined bya mental health professional? I live in Nevada.

If he is violent or has threatened violence then he can be comitted by you.  There he will be examined.\n\nIf there is no violence, then you must convince your brother to seek help.  You mmight do a little research on his symptoms and what disease you think he might have.  Use this infrmation when you talk to him.  Try and be non-threatening.


Don't want to look like a tall giant (taller than my date!), nor too informal, something that men enjoy but isn't "sleazy".....of course I realize comfort gets lost at 3" or higher, and am willing to sacrifice a little, depending on the occasion. Thanks! Tammi

Sorry, but you don't look all that small, so I wouldn,t worry about how tall you are and wear the highest and pumps I could find.  You mught also try tor some very sheer black pantyhose, or better yet stockings with seams, which will also slim you down.

my child and i made some mothers day cards out of constrution paper and planted some flowers for all the wowen in our neighbor hood amy other ideas

That is a very thoughtful idea ,how nice you are! I think that you have done enough, but you can bake a small bread ,or maybe watch their children, so they can have some alone time with their husband.


When scholarships ask you to show how you demonstrate leadership, what does that mean? I mean, I know what the word means, literally, but I don't understand what they're all asking to show.

The desire to be challenged. \nThe ability to solve problems creatively. \nThe ability to reason critically. \nThe ability to see new relationships. \nFacility of verbal expression. \nFlexibility in thought and action. \nThe ability to tolerate ambiguity. \nThe ability to motivate others.


I've heard that the second largest illegal Population in the United States are Canadians? Is that true? If that's true how come we don't make a big deal about the Canadian border? Since it is through that border (not the Mexico one) that we actually have caught "would-be-terrorist" coming through.

Ah dont be so quick to judge, Im sure the number 1 illegal group in canada are Americans.


Just saw an interesting program on cable about this subject.In some countries its basically the same as slavery,But in other countries(European Bloc)the ratio of women to men is like 20 to 1.So they seek husbands from around the world.Interesting show.On one of the BBC channels.\n\nAny Opinions?

It is so easy to point the finger and say that all women that come from other countries want to marry men from USA or UK and then divorce them just for the citizenship.  Have you ever thought that they give up everything to be with that man? They basically have to start their lives from the beginning in countries where immigrants are seen as untrustworthy and where you have to ‘fight’ to prove that you can be trusted and you are an honest person and you married that person for love not seeking any other interest.  I am not saying that all marriages are genuine but don’t put everybody in the same category. I have seen marriages where when she came over and married the man she loved he totally changed; he became abusive and would try to control her like a Muppet.  I believe that at that point anybody would divorce a person like that, foreigner or national of the country.  \n\nBelieve it or not I was reading the other days an article in an UK newspaper about Home Office improving the laws regarding foreigners marrying British nationals only because… some British men play the role of a ‘pimp’ looking for British women who seek to marry a male foreigner who is willing to pay, and in the end both the British female and the ‘pimp’ agree on a percentage.


I kinda dont like mine but I sent her some cool gifts anyway.

even though you dont like her just give her something just to make her think you love her but you dont.

It's supose to be on the stars-life cycle but it doesn't make any since.  \n(a)Name and describe the two major forces that act on a star.\n(b)Compare the elements in an "early protostart" and those in a "young star" formed from "star duct" of older stars.\nWILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER SOME TIME AND THIS STAR CYCLE REALLY GOT ME PELASE GIVE ME AN ANSWER AND EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU GOT IT SO I WON'T BE ON HERE FOR THE REST OF THE STAR CYCLE QUESTIONS. THANKS SO MUCH.

To Answer the First part:\n\nThe life of a star is a continual struggle between the two forces of GRAVITY and NUCLEAR ENERGY. \n       The star’s self gravity or weight tries to compress the star into a smaller sphere of gas. But when a gas is compressed it gets hot, and in the core of a star the gas gets so hot (10 million Kelvins or more) that nuclear reactions occur. In a star like the Sun the nuclear reactions release more energy each second than one billion hydrogen bombs. As this energy works its way out of the star it balances the star’s self-gravity. For most of a star’s life an equilibrium is maintained between self gravity and energy.\n\nPSS Part 2\n\nNot sure what they want here.  Since the "young star" is formed from the older star dust, it would have a higher proportion of heavier elements (like Iron and Silicon), since those elements would have been created in the older stars.  A new protostar would never have been exposed to these heavier elements, so it would be still Hydrogen and Helium.

can i see pictures about the english numbers and they use to draw them by angels

if your talking about the origin of the numbers we use:\n\nthey are the Arabic Numerals that were used way back during the time of early civilizations and trade routes.\n\nthorough the trade routes, their numbers spread, and were widely used\n\nthey also used the zero, which was created by either the romans or the Greeks\n\nWe dont have any idea as to who invented them, though. Our best idea is scholars or educators.


send an invitation to ur email from ur gmail\n\nand put ur link ...which u ll get in ur gmail invitation\n\nas answer if u want to give me and every1 a gmail invitation

The whole idea of being invited is so that you don't have a bunch of people on gmail trying to spam, send out viruses/worms, or clogging up the servers.\n\nThat is the intent behind invitations. So being that you have to come to yahoo answers for one and that you explicitly talk about handing out invitations probably means you don't deserve one.\n\n\nI follow this same answer....

As far as how to go about developing a marketing strategy, it will depend greatly on what kind of business she is engaged in.\n\nIf you would like to e-mail me with some specifics, I would be happy to make some reccommendations.

He would have been the top choice this year, but the next couple of years, high school phenoms of this year will go ahead of him 4sure. Matt leinart is a good example of returning isn't always best if you're overwhelmingly projected #1 in a draft

No because he loves college and he can develop his game better by staying there while he would have sat on the bench more often in the NBA. So what where you get drafted... he's going to be a first round pick no matter what and that's all that counts. Plus, I feel Adam Morrison is going to be the top choice anyway.


i kno those dont help, but is there a way to estimate?

Your best bet is to measure out 40 yards and just do it!


Is there a scientific explanation for homosexuality?

I'm straight, and these bigots don't know squat.  There does seem to be increasing evidence that homosexuality is at least partly, if not largely, *inherrent*. In other words, you have a predisposition to being attracted to members of your own gender.  It seems to be partly genetic, perhaps affected by hormonal environment in utero, and perhaps affected by early childhood experiences, but it is most definitely set at an early age.\n\nFor people who think that homosexuality is a "chosen" lifestyle, I ask my fellow straight people, "Did you *choose* to be heterosexual?"  In other words, was there a moment in your life when you considered being homosexual instead?  A moment when you said "I wonder if I like boys or girls more?"  A moment when you were attracted to both equally and decided to *choose* one or the other.  If the answer is No, then there is your answer ... your sexuality is not a *choice*.  Imagine though that you lived in a world where people kept saying it was a choice, and that the choice of who you felt naturally attracted to was "wrong" ... immoral, sinful, shameful, etc. ... so wrong that they felt the need to make laws against people like you.\n\nMyself, I am male and I like women.  I like 'em a *lot*.  I don't think I ever had a *choice* in the matter.  Women just do it for me.   \n\nTo be more specific, I like redheads.  If somebody tried to pass laws saying that I was not allowed to fall in love with a redhead, not allowed to *marry* a redhead, I would find this a *fundamental* oppression.  It's for this reason that I can't imagine passing laws that says that a man attracted to other men is not allowed to fall in love, not allowed to settle down, not allowed to declare comitment to whomever he wants, and get all the benefits and recognition that I can get with my redhead girlfriend.  \n\nIn other words, the scientific explanation for homosexuality is probably no different than the scientific explanation for the fact that I like redheaded women.  I'm wired that way.  It was never a choice.


I have to stay in school till 4:30. Then I go to football practice and comeback late. By then i'm too tired to do anything.

yes it is wrong because if you copy other peoples work then you dont learn anything. take the time to study and do ur hw even if ur tired, otherwise take a short rest then do ur hw.\n\nTo correct ZCT homework DOES have educational value. It helps u review wat u have learned and that way you will remember it for future reference.


These memory stores are telling me that I need to buy memory that's been tested for DELL Dimension 2300 machines which cost about $75.00  I've found industry standard 512mb chips for $43.00.  Are these compatible?

Find out the model of your motherboard and go to http://www.kingston.com/ and enter it at the top where you see the select by manufacturer and then it will tell you which kinds of memory you can buy and from where.  The type of computer motherboard you have should be a manual which came with your computer, or ask Dell which kind of motherboard you have.

Gold, white gold, silver, platinum?  Simple and classy or extravagant and flashy?

Well I guess it depends of each girl, but for me: A solitaire, silver and princess cut. I guess it also depends if  you are going to buy the engagement ring separately than the wedding set. If the engagement ring is going to be part of the wedding set then yes a bit flashy would be nice, but if the wedding set is separate then the engagement ring, then the engagement ring should be simple. I hope that made sense! \n\n~browneyes~


He installed a device and said he'd turn it on next week..he didn't know how high the level was but said can find out by calling the company..should I?\n\nI was told it causes lung cancer--2nd cause of lung cancer..my dad had lung cancer and their seems to be a family genetic thing with the lugs (of course these relatives had smoked ) I quit my 3 packs a day habits 30 years ago.\n\nCancer runs in the family and I had cancer and radiation treatments--in fact, more radiation than normal, I had to be given..does this radon put me at greater risk of health problems..and does my background make it worse or is it no big deal..I have lived here 2 years.  Thanks.

It is true that radon gas is said to be a cause of lung cancer. More so in people who smoke. There are ways for your landlord to eliminate the radon exposure though. It is usually found where the ground is very rocky. It generally comes through the foundation and then into your interior air. I work in Real Estate and one thing I do know about radon tests are that they are really sensitive and can be easily thrown off. as a realtor, I am not allowed by my broker to even pick up the canister for my client if they have their home tested because apparently even handling the test the wrong way will give false results. Weather can be a factor too. One day you could have the test done and get high results, the next day, nothing. Best bet, talk to your landlord. see if he or she is doing a repeat test. If you are concerned for your health speak with your doctor. Hope this was helpful.


Just before the new interstate highway opened, the traffic on Route 1 was measured by the highway department.  They found that an average of 30,500 cars traveled on Route 1 each weekday.  Since Interstate I-95 was completed, in 1990, the daily traffic on Route 1 has decreased by about 1,400 cars each year.  Express the average number of cars driven each weekday on Route 1 as a function of f(x).\n\n       a. f(x) = 1,400x - 32,500\n       b. f(x) = 1,400x - 3,500\n       c. f(x) = -1,400x + 32,500\n       d. f(x) = 1,400x + 3,500\n       e. None of the available options.

did you mean 32,500 traveled each day?\n\nif so, then c


there's no reason to live, WHERE'S MY KYAK?

Brian McCann\nhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0564836/\nAlso played Preparation H Raymond,Pimpbot 5000\nWiki sez:\nThis sketch evolved from a bit done a week or two before NBC broadcast the Torino Olympics where Brian McCann appeared on video as if he was reporting from the Bobsled run in Italy. He starts sliding down the course and Conan tries to tell him the course wasn't finished based on news reports of the time that said Olympic officials were crunched for time to finish some of the venues. McCann says he can't hear because of the noise of the bobsled then he says "What's that?" and there is a quick cut to stock footage of a kayak falling down a snow covered mountain. Then the show cuts back to Conan who has his head in his hands as if embarrassed and the audience is howling in laughter at the absurd scene, especially after McCann's line: "Someone put me in a kayak!". When the next guest comments about the kayak Conan says "You try to find footage of a bobsled crashing that matches. It was the best we could do."
