This all started a few weeks ago.  At first I thought it was costochondritis, but it seems to have spread from my shoulder blade to my ribs and to my lower back. It got worse when I developed a cough, because it feels like someone is trying to yank my skeleton out of my body when I cough now.  My doctor says nothing shows up on my x-rays.  I don't know what to do. It hurts to yawn or to take a deep breath, or to trot across the parking lot because it jars my rib cage.   And coughing or sneezing sometimes cause me to double over with the excruciating pain it causes. It is hard to sleep at night with it, and it is especially bad in the mornings when I awake. Sometimes when I'm driving my lower back just seizes up in knots and throbs with pain.  I do not know what to do.

Are you sure you don't have a dislocated rib?  If not it sounds like your rib pain is from a sprain to the tissue between your ribs.  There isn't really any other explanation for why it would hurt when your are coughing or sneezing.  I'm not sure what could cause your low back pain.  If you didn't strain it in any way.  You may want to consider that your pain could actually be referred pain from another area.  Your kidneys, appendix, testicles, and prostate often refer pain to your low back.  Your gull bladder and liver can refer pain to your left front ribs.  I'd see an orthopaedic physician for a second opinion if I were you.

I'd like to get help building my credit history with a credit card

Without a credit history, getting a credit card is not easy. Keep trying at the bank you do business with. They may start you off with a credit card with a $500- $1000 credit limit to see how you pay your credit card bills, then increase your credit limit as time goes by. If all else fails, there is such a thing as a SECURED CREDIT CARD. This card is backed up by a specific amount you put up to ensure  payment of your charges. This is also your credit limit. One you establish yourself as credit worthy, you get whatever credit deposit you put down,and a regular credit card is issued to you. For secured credit cards, again see,  your local banker first.


That's how each state gets money from gov. for state health issues, so why not do the survey? Don't hang up on them, do the survey and help your state and yourselves and families who have no health insurances.

First, people don't like getting phone call surveys, especially ones that ask odd questions.\n\nSecondly, calling random numbers (especially out of the phone book) isn't a very reliable way of getting data.  Too many people have cell phones and caller id, which is going to eliminate specific populations from your survey.\n\nThird, more often than not if you call a random number, the person receiving the call is probably doing something that is important to them  and doesn't want to be interrupted. Even if what they are doing isn't as helpful to them in the long run as what you are asking about, people resent being interrupted.\n\n\nFrankly, I haven't heard of this - maybe this isn't happening in Texas, or perhaps making people more aware of what the survey is for, before people are called, would get better results.  And allowing people to do the survey online or call the surveyors would improve your success as well.


some ideas for what sort of service to do on a sunday morning. we are christians and would like the service to reflect this.

How about a sunrise service in the park, the beach, or on a mountainside? You'd be in nature, surrounded by all the beauty God created. The sunrise would be the icing on the cake. Plus, it would give the preacher time to get back to the church for services there.

I woke up this morning with a really soar throat. I need to go get medicine or something to sooth it but I know when I get to the pharmacy I will stand in front of all the options for an hour trying to figure out what to get.  Does anyone have home remedies and/or certain medicines they feel work better than others?\n\nThanks

This may be the start of a cold...Usually what a sore throat means for me. Go out and get Zicam throat lozengers. They will sooth your throat and contain zinc to help you from either getting a cold altogether or shortening the duration. Airborne is also a good product, but it more for colds. It's a tablet that dissolves in water like Alka-Seltzer and contains all kinds of vitamins & herbs to help shorten cold.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nMax

It's so weird though cuz my life from now on doesn't seem real x__x

If you think about it, all the experience we call life is actually our impression of external events, but filtered through the nervous system and the brain. Whatever you see, you see in your brain, also what you touch and what you taste and what you smell, it's all sensed through your brain. That's why taoists say that ultimately, nothing really has an intrinsic "existence", but it's all conveniently rendered into ideas by our thoughts. Anyway, besides that fact, I think there's a factor in your life that is not allowing you too feel 100%. When all your senses are in order you don't become aware of how life seems to be a construction of the psyche. I think you need to do things that make you more "grounded", and you'll get over that. Best thing to do is to spend some time outdoors. Go camping for a couple of nights, or just for a hike outdoors, or visit a farm, or ride a horse or something. All those things make your senses go more into survival mode, therefore relaxing all other anxieties. Just a thought.


The move has nothing to do with the cartoon  I just want to know.

There is this guy who is friends with my boyfriend, and I always see him at this bar we hangout at. I notice out of the corner of my eye him looking at me a lot, but why wont he talk to me? To tell the truth, I kinda like him.

Then before you do anything with the other man, break up with your boyfriend....that gives all of us bad names...if he is staring all of the time, he might be thinking that he wishes he was your boyfriend, ask him..the best way to find out anything is to ask, now it might not be the answer that we are looking for, but it will let you know for sure...GOOD LUCK


I often listen to music and spend alone time with myself. Or maybe a long drive out to another city. But to be honest I wonder if its enough. A hot bath with candles, bath oils and Stevie Wonder playing in the back, no kids or people fussing, yelling or blowin up your phone.  HMMM . Thats a start I guess. What are you thoughts?

Exercise!  Our lifestyles now are so sedintary, but our bodies are built for movement and activity.  Get out, get your heart rate up and break a sweat.  The high you get from exercise leads to a great state of bliss later on and also rids the body of toxins so that you feel better.  Have fun!

In the video the singer and another band member move around with their "legs" in the air, never touching the ground.

And I'm not talking about the rager having a bad day or being in a bad mood.\n\nWhat do other drivers do to piss people off to the point of raging.\n\nI believe that people don't rage in a vacuum.  Apart from someone being in a rush, it's the result of some other driver not following the rules of the road.\n\nSo the question is - what driving faux pas incite road rage?

I concur with Bumperbuffer for the most part.  However, some people do snap finally, because although they might not be the "aggressive driver" BB portrays, they've had enough of the rude ones out there and lash out using there vehicles.\n\nFor example, driver 1 is cut off in traffic.  He lets that slide.  Then he encounters a driver applying make-up while driving and moving slower than posted speed limit & can't go around her.  Then driver 1 is tail-gated by a driver in a hurry while driver 1 is obeying the speed limit.  Driver 1 is then passed by a car, which then cuts him off just to brake to take the exit which, had the other guy been cool, would have merged for way back, so at to exit in a safe manner.  This last act causes driver 1 to boil over in rage and act in a manner he/she normally doesn't do.  Driver 1 may follow the last offender and cut the driver off or retaliate in some manner, just to have some way of meting out some "justice" in the name of common courtesy.


I dont want to have to burn that many cd's and then put them onto my lap top, is there an easier way???

Yes, there is an easier way. You can use a router to connect the two computers, then set up a Universal shared folder. Put all of the music files into that folder, and you can access the folder on your laptop. The microsoft website can give you easy step by step instructions to create this network. There is also another way, but it is much slower. You can use AOL instant messenger using two different screen names, and assuming you have an internet connection on both of the computers, you can do a directory send. The networking link is:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2Fdirectory%2Fworldwide%2Fen-gb%2Fhnetwork.asp


As in health care, dental, cash aid, loans etc....

It doesn't matter what race one is. Hope this helps.


Would it really be possible to drive a needle through the sternum without breaking the needle or shattering the bone?  They did it in the movies Pulp Fiction and The Rock!  Just wondering if it's really possible.

I doubt it.  Why would you go through the sternum when you could go between the ribs?\n\nIt's been a while since I saw Pulp Fiction, but didn't the needle stick in the sternum, and not go through?


My boy friend (in which I'm in love with) wanted me to quit smoking and said we'd get married so I finally quit anf now he says we'll get married when I trust him. Oh hell I don't know! He makes me happy and he makes me miserable! I don't know what to do!!

he is demanding and mean,sounds like he is just messing with your head.


two men meet in heaven after dying.\nFIRST MEN ask second one that how U died\nFIRST MAN-i came home late at night.i feel my wife is talking to some1 .i knock the door.she opened the door so late.and then i check the whole house but can't find any1.i keep thinking 'bout this the whole night.and in morning i got heart attack.so i m here."WHAT 'BOUT U" HE ASKED THE 2ND MAN\nSECOND MAN-HEY, DUMBO. IF U TAKE LITTLE PAIN TO OPEN THE FRIDGE THEN NEITHER U DIE NOR ME.\n\n\nhow's it

It's a great joke, because all the verbally challenged people who say "u" instead of "you" are dead like they should be.\n\nI'm waiting for the version that has dead people who say "lol". That'll be a scream.


I'm always being booted when i am in a chat room..what do i need to get to keep this from happening again

The best option is what others just suggested. keep your mouth shut. \n\nThe other option is to surf anti-yahoo websites that generally host booters. These sites themselves host anti-booting softwares that you can download and install on your system. That will prevent you from being booted. \nI dont remember the name of the softares off my head. Its something called Y-Tunnel


In San Luis Obispo (and SLO county), apartments are pretty easy to find.  Jobs, however, are a little more scarce.\n\nThe best tool I can give you for checking out San Luis is http://www.sanluisobispo.com/mld/sanluisobispo/\n\n[edit]\n\nDon't know if housing is "cheaper" in San Luis Obispo.  Median house prices around here are almost $600,000.  My sister pays more for her apartment in San Diego than she would for a comparable one here.\n\nIf you're into the bar scene, SLO has many good bars all within walking distance of each other.  Santa Barbara is about 1.5 to 2 hours, LA is 3.5, SF is 4-5.\n\nThe biggest problem is that SLO doesn't have a core industry besides government/city jobs, Cal Poly, and  the Correctional facilities.  So finding a good paying job may not be easy at all.  You will certainly find a broader spectrum of jobs in San Diego.\n\nUnfortunatly, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo are all high-cost areas to live.  All three are wonderful places.  I prefer San Luis Obispo as it doesn't have the jam-packed feeling of bigger cities.


each tile covers one square foot. a carton of tiles costs 18. how much will it cost to cover the entire kitchen floor?equation pls.

You can find how many square feet the kitchen is by multiplying 18*15. This equals 270 sq. feet.  (The * means multiplication)\n\nSince each tile is one square foot, you will need 270 tiles.  Multiply the number of tiles by $18, and thats the cost to cover the floor.\n\nEquations:  \nLength * Width\n\n(Number of Tiles) * (cost per tile)

I was turned around at the border after living in the USA and getting married in the USA and deported. I have NO criminal records and Immgration has had all the paperwork required  I even had a lawyer fill it all out . I have 2 of  4 apllications approved its just Vermont Immigration is taking so Long. They have had my paperwork for 9 months and keep saying they are processing it when they say it takes 30/90 days for this process. PS I am a Canadian.

You are not alone in waiting for the paperwork to catch up with reality.\n\nGet all your copies of the paperwork you filed **and their responses**.  Typically, one of the reply form letters should state that your temporary paperwork has been hereby extended.  THat, and your original papers, are the copies you need to bring to the border crossing.\n\nGood luck!

They say that i should get checked into a drug rehabilitation center. But the truth is that i really don't want to get help. I do use drugs to get rid of the pain, and these people don't even know me anymore. if i got clean and sober, i would hate my life... when i get off, i don't feel anything anymore. and the truth is that i never wanted to feel. what should i do. i like my new friends, they really know how to have a good time. i mean, i am still in control of my life, i still have my job and i get good grade=s in school, i am just depressed all the time, i know there probably is a better way, but i dont think i can change. they say that you can only get help if you want it right? well, ya... what should i do?

maybe the question should be why dont they know you anymore? I watched my oldest brother steal cars, rob my mother, my aunt, uncle, steal his newborns diaper money and more for drugs. My other brother was clinicaly labeled a genius, and then he used drugs and got the bright idea to make his own acid. Now he lives on a "crazy check" and doesn't even have a GED. My father was an alcoholic, beat the wife, etc.\n\nin the end its truly up to you. I'm not going to tell you you're evil, but i will tell you this:\n\nThis Sh**  can F*** you up. Do you want to be that girl who offers to suck we eny for drugs? You might not think it can happen to you, but better than safe than sorry. Stop before you have to deal with withdrawals. before you hurt someone that you dont want to


I am trying to validate my understanding of mutual funds and their tax implications.\n\nSay I invested $100,000 in some mutual funds and the funds had a $8000 capital gains distribution in 2005.  The gains were credited as additional shares in my account and my "cost" according to the mutual fund, is now $108,000. However, for the for 2005 taxes, it appears that I have to declare the $8000 gain as income and pay taxes on them.  Is this correct?\n\nAlso, what happens, for example, if in 2007, the funds drop and I sell them all for $100,000? I have paid taxes on the $8000 gain, so now I have a $8000 capital loss.  Is this correct?\n\nThanks.

You're correct.  Presumably you received a 1099-DIV with $8000 (or whatever) in the cap gains distribution.  You would need to include that amount in your return.  When you sell the shares, that amount will be included in your basis so your eventual gain will be total sales price-$108,000.

I'm going to an 18th birthday party soon and I'm going to wear a baby pink corset dress and I'm not too sure on how I should do my make-up. Any ideas?

I'm guessing that you're coloring is similar to you're avatar and if that is the case, I think you should go with browns/pale pinks in the eye shadows.  Bronzer in the cheek area a deeper pink close to the shade of your lips for lipstick with a slightly darker lip liner shade and then maybe just a little sparkle all over since it is your very special 18th birthday!!  Have a great time and a great birthday no matter what you go with!

To the nearest million miles, what is the surface area of Jupiter? (Assume that it is a sphere.)

Find the radius from the diameter by dividing it by 2.  So r = 44000 miles\n\nSurface area of any sphere = 4 * pi * r * r\n\npi = 22/7\n \nPlug in the values and you will get the surface area of Jupiter.

what are the requirements that I need in order for to become a firefighter? for example: education,physical stature etc...

Well if you want to become a firefighter in the Us 99% of places require you to be am EMT-Basic at least. Most want you (some require) to become an EMT-Paramedic. What you can do though, is get your EMT-B certification and then go to fireschool. Once you are hired on most dept's will pay for you to become an EMT-Paramedic. \n\nYou need to be in decent shape. Most firefighters aren't built like brick houses but they are in good shape. \n\nGo to the local fire house and ask them about becoming a volunteer fireman. Take a few shifts and see if it is for you before you start all that schooling.

There is no mention of him dying in the bible, so he should have been around somewhere...

theres really no mention of him after Jesus is 12, the popular thought is that he died, seeing that Jesus gave John charge to take care of Mary, his mother.


How come if someone kills a pregnant woman they are charged with double homicide, and the law considers the fetus a "life", however it is legal for women to kill there babies by just making a doctors appointment, without even notifying the father.

I think abortion is absolutely disgusting.\n\nDont get me wrong- I totally feel for the mothers- its a really hard experience for them. :)\n\nBut...I think its even mroe SAD that innocent children are being killed everyday by abortion,.,,


Okay, anyone have any advice on how to get through Great Expectations???? The plot is good, but the way its written is sooooooo sucky!!! GAH!!!

Awesome story.\nA boy (Fin Belle) helped an escaped convict as a child, and this child was an artist. He lived with his uncle who was a fisher. The convict eventually got caught. The little boy was scared. He went to work for the rich lady in town who had a beautiful daughter who was the boy's age. He fell in love at first sight, the girl looked like a princess. The boy got older and grew up with that girl and they were in love. Then one day she moved away, so he got mad, and started hanging out with his uncle more and had a rough lifestyle of drinking and fishing and partying it up with his uncle. By this time he was a young adult. One day a man came to visit Fin and offered him a trip to New York to be an artist. So he accepted, and went to New York and become a famous artist. His first artist showcase was completely sold out, and he was now famous. He went back to his studio that night and let in a man that wanted to use his phone. Come to find out that this was the "Escaped Convict" he helped out as a child, and this man had made sure that Fin became rich and famous, simply because he helped him out as a child. This meant alot to the escaped convict, and Fin was the one good thing he done right in his life. He ran into the girl there too, all grown up, and beautiful. But she had a fiance now. They had their one night stand, but she whipped away to France to marry her fiance because her mom always taught her not to get too close to the one you love. This broke Fin's heart for good, and he moved on with his life. He went to Paris too, too further his fame, and years later came back to his home where he grew up. HE went to visit the old lady that was his first loves mom, but the house was in shambles. \nOut back by the lake balcony, he saw his first love, and she had her little girl with her. She apologized, but he was still in love with her, and she with him, and they lived happily ever after, the way it should have been from the beginning.\n\nthis is the whole idea of the story..if you have any specific questions, just ask\nthis is one of the best stories EVER

All humans have a trace amount of magnetite in their noses, found in the ethmoid bone (between the eyes), possibly part of a rudimentary compass to allow direction finding relative to the earth's magnetic field. The human magnetoception is still very controversial, but some studies show that some people have the ability to orient themselves-even when blindfolded and removed from such external clues as sunlight-to within a few degrees of the North Pole, exactly as a compass does.

Actually, tough as this might be to accept there are a number of reasons...\n\n- It has not been proven that he lied\n- It has not been proven that he broke any laws\n\nContrary to conspiracy theories, a republican led congress cannot prevent an impeachment if either of the above occur, or prevent an investigation or judicial hearing should the democrats push for one.\n\nReality, take a deep breath and try to take this in, as we can assume the democrats would drive for this the second they felt they could, it is a fairly safe assumption that President Bush has done nothing that would warrant his impeachment.\n\nSorry to burst your bubble...


For example:  In Adobe Indesign I have a green background..I export the logo into Indesign and have a white square border around that logo.  How do I get the logo to be transparent?

photoshop just use the magic wand tool, select the white background and delete it. If it doesnt let you edit it set to RGB mode. If there's a layer locked, make a copy of it and delete the locked layer. Merge layers with ctrl+E. Always save as a GIF with transparency...

I want to learn more about DNA testing,for instance, if you killed someone and they found some evidence on the victim, How did they know that you did it? by DNA testing !!!!!

DNA \n\nThe molecule that carries genetic information in all living systems (see genetic code). The DNA molecule is formed in the shape of a double helix from a great number of smaller molecules (see nucleotides). The workings of the DNA molecule provide the most fundamental explanation of the laws of genetics.\n\nDNA acts in three important way. First, when a cell divides, the DNA uncoils, and each strand creates a new partner from the surrounding material — a process called replication. The two cells that result from the cell division have the same DNA as the original (see mitosis). Second, in sexual reproduction, each parent contributes one of the two strands in the DNA of the offspring. Third, inside the cell, the DNA governs the production of proteins and other molecules essential to cell function. \n\n\nmedical:\n\nDeoxyribonucleic acid; a nucleic acid that consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted together into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine; it carries the cell's genetic information and hereditary characteristics via its nucleotides and their sequence and is capable of self-replication and RNA synthesis.

Lets say you get out a shirt straight from the dryer. You might notice those little 'clicks' [which I assume is static] as you handle the shirt. Assuming that static and those little 'shocks' are connected, why is it that we can get a small static 'shock' when we touch something like metal? Assuming that it travels through our bodies, is there another way to get rid of this static?

Add moisture to the air, boil a pan of water. Plus, a dryer sheet will help with the clothes.

Is there an egg free pasta?  My son is allergic to eggs and  needs a safe pasta, not made on equiptment used by egg noodles. Until recently Barilla  was a perfect choice but they have begun making egg noodles on the same machines.  Thanks.

There are all kinds of egg free pastas.  Best bet is to go to the health food store.  Rice pasta is my daughter's favorite.  But you can buy wheat pasta that is egg free.  Whole grain pastas are better for you.


in the court case Miller v California in 1972-73

Cases have to first be filed at a court of first impression. If the case has federal jurisdiction, this would be the Federal Circuit Court, or if it has state jurisdiction, a lower state court. Once it is heard here, the lawyer on the losing side can file an appeal with the Appeals Court, and the losing party there can then file an appeal with the Supreme Court, which decides whether or not to hear the case.


Absolutely not. He's turning a world against us, killing thousands of innocents (including our own troops), and lying out of his teeth in the name of his special interest puppet masters.\n\nWhew. That took a lot out of me.


Silly, eh? \nWell, try to be as reasoned as you can, preferable using texts and knowledge of Hinduism and Judaism to defend your choice. Yahweh, for those of you in the dark, is the God in the Old Testament of the Bible. \nI'm not talking about the Christian God here, with happy snappy Jesus and all that jazz.\nThis is some good, old-fashioned smoting I'm talking about. \nSo, Whose Smites are the Mightiest?

is ti possible to pay the fee in any other way then with credit card.how mutch is that safe doing over internet.did someone do that.\nhow does lotory works?\ndid anyone won green card?

to apply for the green card you go through the embassy of your country. to do anything else is probably a scam. you will surely lose money. Call your local embassy and ask when the lottery will take place. Don't give your credit card number to any of these scam artists.


what customer satisfaction do they get at carinderias or eateries? what are the reasons why students prefer to eat at carinderias or eateries rather than preparing their own meal? How do carinderias or eateries operate? what is the set-up of this local food chain at the vicinity of universities?

Normally it is hard to prepare a good meal when you are living in a dorm room. The other problem is that a lot of younger people do not know how to cook very well & want something more than microwave fare for dinner or don't think about the fact that they can get some really good microwave dinners at the grocery. Another issue may have to do with having a refridgerator in their dorm room; either they don't have one or don't want to bother with it. Finally, I think the biggest draw is that the eateries are fast & they don't have to bother with clean up following their meal. Since most students are busy with their studies, it is a way to eat & go while still getting a decent meal.\n\nAs to how they actually operate or what the food chain is, I can't help you...


also, how will i know how much taxes are owed on it. will they automatically deduct it from my refund? please get back to me ASAP!!!! thanks

You.  If the employer did not pay taxes or withheld any from you, you are considered an independent contractor and should pay your own taxes.  If they paid for you, you would have received a W2 form from them.


it is related to the properties of fluids.

Surface tension is a quantity which we often deal with in daily life without realizing it. It plays a role in washing and cleaning procedures as well as in lubricants as used in automobiles and cosmetics. The only reason the Water Beetle does not drown is because it is being held up by surface tension. \nSurface tension is created through the attraction of the molecules in liquids to each other. If one views a molecule at the interior of a medium, it would be equally attracted by all neighboring molecules. The effect is that it is attracted to all sides with the same force, so that the resulting force is zero On the other hand, if a molecule is located at the surface of a liquid, the attraction from the interior of the medium works further on the one side, whereas there are no more molecules from the other side. Hence the resulting force is directed towards the interior of the liquid.\nOn the microscopic scale this causes drops of liquid to be round since the surface of the liquid is being minimized that way.\nTherefore, surface tension is defined as the energy needed to increase the surface by a defined value. Therefore, the minimum surface corresponds to the minimum energy.\nTemperature dependence of surface tension: The surface tension of liquids is affected by the temperature.


i need this to be answer becasue im doing a project about this topic...it happen in south dakota aroung the time of 1890

A phenomena swept the American west in 1888 by Paiute holy man Wovoka from Nevada.. Wovoka, son of the mystic Tavibo, drew on his father's teachings and his own vision during an eclipse of the sun. He began spreading the "gospel" that came to be known as the Ghost Dance Religion. He claimed that the earth would soon perish and then come alive again in a pure, aboriginal state, to be inherited by the Indians, including the dead, for an eternal existence free from suffering.  \n    To earn this new reality, however, Indians had to live harmoniously and honestly, cleanse themselves often, and shun the ways of the whites, especially alcohol, the destroyer. Wovoka also discouraged the practice of mourning, because the dead would soon be resurrected, demanding instead the performance of prayers, meditation, chanting, and especially dancing through which one might briefly die and catch a glimpse of the paradise-to-come, replete with lush green prairie grass, large buffalo herds and Indian ancestors.Kicking Bear, a Miniconjou Teton Lakota, made a pilgrimage to Nevada to learn about this new "religion". \nTogether with Short Bull, another Miniconjou mystic, they gave another interpretation, choosing to disregard Wovoka's anti-violence and emphasizing the possible elimination of the whites. Special Ghost Dance Shirts, they claimed, would protect them against the white man's bullets.\nWhite officials became alarmed at the religious fervor and activism and in December 1890 banned the Ghost Dance on Lakota reservations. When the rites continued, officials called in troops to Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations in South Dakota. The military, led by veteran General Nelson Miles, geared itself for another campaign.  \n\nThe presence of the troops exacerbated the situation. Short Bull and Kicking Bear led their followers to the northwest corner of the Pine Ridge reservation, to a sheltered escarpment known as the Stronghold. The dancers sent word to Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapas to join them. Before he could set out from the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota, however, he was arrested by Indian police. A scuffle ensued in which Sitting Bull and seven of his warriors were slain. Six of the policemen were killed. \n\nGeneral Miles had also ordered the arrest of Big Foot, who had been known to live along the Cheyenne River in South Dakota. But, Big Foot and his followers had already departed south to Pine Ridge, asked there by Red Cloud and other supporters of the whites, in an effort to bring tranquility. Miles sent out the infamous Seventh Calvary led by Major Whitside to locate the renegades. They scoured the Badlands and finally found the Miniconjou dancers on Porcupine Creek, 30 miles east of Pine Ridge. The Indians offered no resistance. Big Foot, ill with pneumonia, rode in a wagon. The soldiers ordered the Indians to set up camp five miles westward, at Wounded Knee Creek. Colonel James Forsyth arrived to take command and ordered his guards to place four Hotchkiss cannons in position around the camp. The soldiers now numbered around 500; the Indians 350, all but 120 of these women and children. \n\nThe following morning, December 29, 1890, the soldiers entered the camp demanding the all Indian firearms be relinquished. A medicine man named Yellow Bird advocated resistance, claiming the Ghost Shirts would protect them. One of the soldiers tried to disarm a deaf Indian named Black Coyote. A scuffle ensued and the firearm discharged. The silence of the morning was broken and soon other guns echoed in the river bed. At first, the struggle was fought at close quarters, but when the Indians ran to take cover, the Hotchkiss artillery opened up on them, cutting down men, women, children alike, the sick Big Foot among them. By the end of this brutal, unnecessary violence, which lasted less than an hour, at least 150 Indians had been killed and 50 wounded. In comparison, army casualties were 25 killed and 39 wo


From internet, I know that DOS and FREEDOS are almost the same thing. I do not know how to use DOS or FREEDOS and I want to buy a particular COMPAQ PC which gives FREEDOES instead of Windows. I know I can install Windows later, but if I am going to spend Rs 35,000 for a PC, I do not want to pay for Windows separately. As I am not familiar with FREEDOS, should go for it or should I ask the dealer to get me windows.

Yes, but only with dos programs that use a gui.


I want to learn to build websites and create programs that perform whatever tasks I want them to proform.  Where is the best place to start learning all this programming stuff?

Your best bet is to dive right into it.  Start with writing your own HTML code, do not use a WYSIWYG application (eg. Dreamweaver, FrontPage), instead start with a simple program like notepad and get your self familiar with the syntax of html. Once you've got a firm understanding of how html will work then you can switch to a WYSIWYG.  \n\nOnce you have Basic HTML down you can take it to the next step and learn a backend processing language like JavaScript, ASP, JSP,etc.. or more design oriented things like Flash.


Don't worry about gaining weight. Most guys who think they are too thin are just fine. Eat a standard, healthy diet. Throw in extra carbs. Focus on getting fit rather than getting big.


I was looking to buy a new pc and saw a e machine at wal marts.It seemed pretty good but never heard of it thought I'd ask some people about it before I went out and bought one.

First of all if you are going to buy a computer, dont go to wallmart for that. Go to Circuit City or Best Buy, it is better to go to best buy. eMachines is OK, eMachines is cheap, but they are good for the price. If you want an eMachines look at the specs, but yes you should buy it its very good. But not at walmart.


PUBERTY. Ive heard that it doesnt work but it seems like the way they describe the procedure of it that i'll work but then i also heard the penis is not a muscle. Tell me if this is a true working method. And what are some ways to get the penis to its full genetics and potential through naturally done things, and what are some things that can reduce the penis growing to its fully genetic potential.\n\n(14 years old)

This is an extremely dangerous practice and can destroy vasculature (blood vessels) in the penis.  It is impossible to know how hard to pressurize things before you start bleeding, which is a side effect of Jelquing.  It forces blood to back up into the blood carrying vessels in the penis, and the smaller capillaries burst, and when close to the urethral wall, you pee blood.  Other effects are unsymetrical bulges caused by overstressing vasculature in the penis.  If you are a person who is predisposed to hemoroids (sp), it can make them far worse.  I recommend staying away from that.


i'm talking about those young bands that belt out spiritual songs with hint of pop/rock .

I believe they are. I guess it really depends on your faith and if you believe they will. Some great groups ( I like them and I taught the Youth Group at church for awhile) are Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, Michael W. Smith, and I'm sorry, but I can't remember the name of the other groups. Some of my favorite CD's are the "Wow Contemporary Christian" CD's. They have one for each year (since they've been produced), a platnium one (with platnium songs from various artitist) and then "Wow #1 hits". All the one's I've seen are double CD's. Hope this gives you an idea and is helpful. I'm including a link that will at least let you see some of the music (contemporary Christian) and try a few out.


Spells and spirits... real or fake? also ghosts.

"Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clarke.\n\nWhen I was younger, I read a LOT about witchcraft, ghosts, magic (not stage magic, which didn't interest me), superstition and similar subjects.  \n\nWhat I learned from all of this reading is that there is such a thing as magic...  but it has a firm foundation in how people think.  It is not "supernatural", it is natural.  We just don't know the full science behind it.  Shamans, I think, understood some of this, and also understood that approaching it rationally would make the magic weaker.


Who could explain why do the sientist say that there is a day missing on the hisory of the world?

day is roughly time taken by earth to complete one rotation,\nearths rotation is dependent on several factors like universal gravitational force and spin and orientation in space \nobviosly there are several seconds missing are added in this process\nso in general sence there could be seconds, minutes hours days years and even centuries added are missing to history\nas i said it is relative and dependent on a reference time if it exists


He only filed 4 custody after he heard I had a budding relationship. He lives w/ his parents in their home while I still keep up a home 4 our children and try to keep their lives as normal as possible. He only gets the children if I call his mother and my ex and I have no communication at all.  he will not talk 2 me and has not for 5months.

I wouldn't think you have much to worry about. I have spent many years in custody court. Usually fighting for child support. First off, depending on the state, usually the courts like to keep children with their mother unless she is really unfit. Second off, he is living with his parents. Shows he has no way the keep himself let alone 4 kids up. If he really wanted the kids, he would have to have a home for them, with enough bedrooms, and beds, and be real active in their lives, school, church, activities, etc.. Then he would have to show the judge why they shouldn't be with you, EX.. you are unfit, never home, alcohol or drug abuse present, and that the children are in iminent danger staying with you. From what you have said sounds like you have the kids best interest at heart. Trust me, judges have seen and heard it all when it comes to just using the custody hearings to upset the mother. Be calm and tell the truth. It does work! Hope this helps you!

Take each of your values, and then subtract the mean from them.  E.g., 70 - 56 = 14, 60 - 56 = 4, etc.\n\nNow take each of these answers and square it.  Half of the starting numbers will be negative (eg 30 - 56 = -26) but once you square all of these numbers, they should all be positive.\n\nNow you'll have 7 positive numbers. Add them all together and divide the answer by 7.  Finally, take the square root of that value, and that's the standard deviation.\n\nSo 14, 4, -6, 4, 4, 9, and -26\nbecome 196, 16, 36, 16, 16, 81, and 676\nSummed together gives 1037\ndivided by 7 is ~148.14\nSquare-rooted is ~12.2\n\nThe standard deviation is 12.2.\n\nNOTE: the rt11guru answer that follows is based on a technique used in some larger sample sets where 1 is subtracted from the number of entries, ie the sum is divided by 7-1=6 rather than 7.  That is called the *sample standard deviation*, as shown in the link.

World War I, also known as the First World War and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, War to End All Wars was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918. The label World War I or First World War did not come into general use until after the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and until then it was commonly known as the Great War or the World War. The war was fought by the Allied Powers on one side, and the Central Powers on the other, resulting in eventual victory for the Allies. No previous conflict had mobilized so many soldiers or involved so many in the field of battle. By its end, the war had become the bloodiest war in recorded history, though this record was soon to be superseded by World War II.\n\nAmongst Western countries, World War I became infamous for trench warfare along the Western Front, involving a system of opposing trenches (separated by a "No Man's Land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. More than 9 million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and nearly that many more in the participating countries' home fronts on account of food shortages and genocide committed under the cover of various civil wars and internal conflicts. In World War I, only some 5% of the casualties (directly caused by the war) were civilian - in World War II, this figure approached 50%.\n\nUltimately, World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, as modified by the mid-19th century national revolutions, the processes of European national unification and European colonialism. Three European land empires were shattered and subsequently dismembered to varying degrees: the German, the Austro-Hungarian and the Russian. In the Balkans and the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire experienced the same fate. Three European imperial dynasties, represented by the Hohenzollern, the Hapsburg and the Romanov families in Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia respectively, also fell during the war.\n\nWorld War I witnessed the first advent of Communism as a means of government in Russia. The following decades would see the transformation of the old Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a global superpower. In the east, the demise of the Ottoman Empire paved the way for a modern democratic successor state, Turkey, in the core region of Anatolia, in addition to a number of successor states and territories throughout the Middle East. In Central Europe, the new states of Czechoslovakia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Yugoslavia were born and Austria, Hungary and Poland were re-created. Shortly after the war, in 1923, Fascists came to power in Italy; in 1933, 15 years after the war, Nazism took over Germany. Problems unresolved or created by the war would be highly important factors in the outbreak, within 20 years, of World War II.\n\n\n\nCauses:\n\nOn June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb student. The Archduke was there to assert imperial authority over a disputed province. Princip was supported by pan-Serbian nationalists, with links to the Serbian military. Though this assassination is usually considered the immediate trigger for the war, its origins can be traced back to the complex web of alliances and counterbalances that developed between the various European powers after 1871.\n\n\nReasons and responsibilities\nThe reasons for the outbreak of World War I are a complicated issue; there are many factors which intertwine. Some examples are:\n\nFervent and uncompromising nationalism \nUnresolved previous disputes \nThe intricate system of alliances \nConvoluted and fragmented governance \nDelays and misunderstandings in diplomatic communications \nThe arms races of the previous decades. \nRigidity in military planning

What are its origin, symptoms and how do you treat it?

It's a term used in Biology of plants, to describe a kind of diseases caused by non-living agents that affect the functining or "physiology" of a plant. It is not normally used in Medicine. In my opinion, a similar term in Medicine would be "functional disease".\n\nNon-infectious or physiological diseases are caused by non-living agents and encompass a wide range of disturbances to the normal functioning of a tree (e.g., unusually high or low temperatures, excess or deficiency of water or nutrients, or pollution). Susceptibility to damage varies with the species, age, and vigour of the trees. Factors inducing physiological disorders may operate for only a brief period as in the case of frost, may extend over part of a growing season as in the case of prolonged drought, or their effect may be cumulative over a number of years as in the case of some pollutants.


so every time we dont know the integral we define a new function!

So can u intergrate them without creating a new function


I'm familiar with the term but I can't find out what \nit is.  I am certain the word begins with a capital letter.

The most general meaning of the term avatar would be a representation of a being, without actually being that being. (Usually refering to some deity as it is described in previous answers, but yahoo, and others I would imagine, use it in reference to people. Basically an icon for a person, rather than a file.) \nBut you specifically state that you are certain that it starts with a capital letter, which means it is the name of something specific. That is too general for the people answering this question apparently. It is the name of something, so what is it the name of? A movie? A game? Considering that this is the computer category, I am going to guess that it is the name of a computer game. \nUnless more specifics are stated in the question, I do not see how it can be answered in an acceptable manner.


I am honest, a gentleman, fun, I think that I have at least met the expectations of every lady but I get stuck in friendship land (screwy) What do I do wrong?

Better taking time to find and be with the right person than going too fast and discovering it wasn't the right person once more. Be patient if you have to find your lady you will find her.


Is it particularly aesthetically pleasing? or just body mutilation?


we have been dating for over a year and live with eachother, and it now seems like he only pays good attention to me in bed. i love him and am sure he feels the same about me, but how can i really tell, i need to know if i should stay in this relationship or get out before he hurts me.

"now seems like he only pays good attention to me in bed" - That would be your problem. I have no insight into the mind of your boyfriend. However, I would say (coming from another man) that he is after just one thing. Then again, perhaps I am wrong. It is hard to be sure about such a concept when it is through a written medium and we've never met the person. Good luck anyhow.


what is the best way to learn how to design a web site, given the fact that you have no money?

Learn HTML first.  (HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language) and looks like <U> and <B> and the like.\n\nI recomend using Angelfire to make a free simple page.  They have lots of resources about how to use HTML and you can ease into it.\n\nJust do a Yahoo or Google search for 'How to use HTML' or 'HTML tutorial' to get more if thats' not enough.


Well, this should be differing from person to person,\nbut i would want to know what "majority" think.

Majority does not equal truth.\n\nGod rules.

What makes you purchase an item from a seller on Ebay? Also, what makes you not purchase from a seller on Ebay?

Whenever I need to buy something, I check eBay first. I look first at auctions that have a reasonable shipping cost and a Buy It Now option at a reasonable price. I stay away from sellers that don't accept Paypal or charge excessive S&H. If I ask a question and don't get a response within a day, I skip that auction. I consider feedback also. Everything else being equal, the auction that provides the most complete information is the one I'm most likely to pursue.


The search for the explanation of what we observe.


What are your thoughts on this? Whether it would be for cosmetic purposes or a necessity.

only if i was horribly burned or something. i do think appearance helps make you who you are, but you should be happy with your natural one.


I mean who composed it at the very first time? I remember it was a Ray Charles' song but i'm not sure.

This was written by Ray's good friend Percy Mayfield, an R&B singer who was badly disfigured in a car accident soon after he started performing. Mayfield cut back his touring and made his mark as a prolific songwriter, with many of his compositions performed by Charles.


my guy broke up with me over the phone fri.  i need to talk to him. i have called him twice since then. he still likes me and the reasons he gave for breaking up with me may be able to be resolved. but he won't call to talk face to face. how do i get him to call OR should i write a letter and leave it at his house explaining my side of the stoyr when hes at work?

First off, you need to talk to him face to face and not over the phone. Since you have tried to call him to no avail, try to get a trusted and mutual friend to set up a "meeting". By all means, don't leave notes at his door nor call him continuously. This could be considered harrasment if you can't work things out. Trusted/Mutual friend, it worked for me. Ask friend to stay!


I only found two people there, but maybe you can call one of them to find your guy: \nhttp://kevdb.infospace.com/_1_2MN3TD802PO6B85__home.ultim/white-pages/kevdb?qhn=777&qst=post+oak+&qc=houston&kcfg=wpus&otmpl=white-pages%2Fresults.htm&etmpl=white-pages%2Freverse%2Findex_address.htm.etl&fromform=revaddress&searchtype=revaddress&qk=10&top=1&qcat=reverse&qsubcat=revaddr&qs=tx\n\nThis site really helps find people: \nhttp://theultimates.com/white/


I have several friends who didn't vote in 2000, both Reps and Dems, but they voted in 2004 because 2000 was too close to call, or (and mostly Dems thought this) that the election was stolen.  Does anyone else have an opinion on this?

it is probably good more people voted in 2004, and they did. this caused bush to win easier.


i have a homework assignment and i need a lot of good facts about blue sharks!

"The most exciting thing about the blue shark is the way it looks. The blue shark is easy to recognize because of its color. As you may have guessed it is blue! This shark is dark blue on the top bright blue on the sides and white on the bottom. Its pectoral fins are as long as the length from it's snout to its gills. I picked the blue shark because I wanted shark." \nmore on site - \nhttp://www.crockerfarm.org/ac/gr3/animals/WesBlueShark.htm\nyou can refer to the wikipedia and marinebio link for more info.

I've loaned money, my car, my home and every time I get walked all over.  I can't turn my back on people, it doesn't feel right.  I think i'd feel worse about myself if I didn't help.  Any advice out there?

Helping because you want to help is one thing.  But helping with something attached ...like ok I help you but you need to be or do something is another. If you have expectations, let them be known in advance.  Like yes, you can move in, eat my food, use my car but the minute you even touch my stereo you are dead.  Or my wife.  Whatever. Doing or being all helpful with a secret motive (unknown to the guy you are helping) could be co-dependence. Or you just like looking like a sap.  Not trying to be offensive, just clear.  \n\nIf you say you have trouble turning your back on people, my guess is you may be co-dependant.  Maybe the people arew users and drug abusers, learn it is not your fault and you are not alone,  for every alcoholic and drug user there are co-deps out there that belong to them.  I think they creat the perfect atmosphere for co-dependants to thrive on...


I hate artists who lipsync, but my question, who still sucks enough that they still do it?

i need some help to lose weigh what works

cut down on your intake.  cut your portions.  snack on veggies! drink a lot of water. check the labels of food before you buy it.  Drink at least 8 ozs of water before a meal or when you snakc. Do a daily calorie diary.  Work off more then you put in. walk, run, just get up and start moving.\nSo far I have lost 20lbs this way, and have another 100lbs to go.  I really hate raw carrots, but I hate being a fat cow more.  I would also suggest moving the scale into the kitchen, in front of the goody cabnit.. want to get something to eat.  Step on the scale... is it worth it?  thought not, eat a carrot!!\nP.S.  When drinking alot of water its a good idea to buy extra toilet paper.... as you will be "going" more.


I mean can you even think in your wildest dream of a contraption in which you put grass or hay on one side and get milk from the other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll answer that with another question - how do you eat brown hamburgers, green lettuce, and red tomato and produce yellow urine?  Or the variously colored other bodily secretions we humans produce, including white milk?  The color of these secretions depends mostly on their molecular structure, which doesn't change depending on what you eat.  The body makes them by choosing only the elements it wants, and not using, say, some chewed up chlorophyll that happens to be in your stomach.\n\nThat said, milk (and other secretions) can take on a slight tinge of color from the diet, just because they are not completely "pure".  For example, if you eat a lot of carrots, your urine, and even your skin, can turn orange.  And a wild cow who actually does eat grass might have slightly green milk.  But the milk you actually buy in a store comes from cows who eat all sorts of unnatural things, and hardly any grass.  Besides, the fat globules that would hold most of the color are skimmed off and turned into butter and cheese (which are then artificially colored).\n\nWas that way more than you wanted to know? :-)

I have some info. There's alot of hungry people in africa. And perhaps if they did some work to stir up some money, then they could buy some food. They should stop bumming food off of countries that feel bad for them. either die or work. It's that easy.


why do girls try to steal other girls boyfriends can they not find their own?

It's the old *covet* thing.  People always want what others have.  It will never change.


a place to meet friends that don't make fun of you

Also, you might try to associate with older people; they may be more inclined to accept you as you are because they have a bit more maturity. Just remember, if you want to run with an older crowd, you need to act maturely as well.\n\nI'm not assuming anything about your religious beliefs, however, if you participate in church activities you might find a group of people who treat you kindly.\n\nGood luck!

My sciatica nerve (However you spell it) is acting up. It really hurts to stand even sit a lot. What can I do to get rid of the pain. I've tried a heating pad but doesn't last long enough.

There are lots of reasons for sciatica.  Your pelvis may be rotated, you may have a disc issue, or you may just have tight muscles pinching on the nerve.  You should seek out physical therapy--they can help decipher which of these answers it could be.  In the mean time, try ice--it's an anti-inflammatory.  Put it at the start of your pain.  It will help take down any inflammation or swelling pressing on the nerve.


my girl and I are having a degenerating relationship prob being fermeted by outsiders

talk. a heart to heart talk, verify and confirm whatever the reason was. and find solution to the problem. both of you have to decide.


After all, the earth revolves around the sun AND spins on its own axis.

The moon DOES rotate.  The reason you cannot detect it is because it is in a synchronous rotation, meaning that it takes the same ammount of time to revolve as it does to rotate, meaning that the same face (the Light side) is always facing us.  It may be hard to visualize at first, but imagine you are the moon.  Now, stand facing an object, like a pole which will be the Earth.  Now, practice spinning around (revolving) so that you can do it in exactly 10 seconds.  Now, practice walking around the pole so that you are rotating for exactly 10 seconds.  Now, do them both together.  From your perspective (as the moon) you ARE rotating, but you'll notice that your face (the Light side of the moon) is always facing the Earth.


I want to find the spring wire wich is related to BS5216 HS3,I have some japanese wire such as JIS 3226 on hand ,but I don't know which wire should accord with the BS5216 HS3 standard.

its nearest equivalents in Japanese wire is JIS G 3521 SW-C


And why is it that the ones that treat us like we say we want to be treated, we don't like, or we think they are nerdy?

Girl trust me I do the same thing, and ask myself the same question. I finally came to realize that I don't think we do it on porpose, sometimes it just happens that way. Maybe we are afraid of being happy, or maybe we grew up in a really strict family, and we are good girls, and opposites really do attract. It's kindof like we realize that we will never be bad girls, so jerky, bad boys are what attracts us. Sometimes for me it's fun to get my heart broken so that I can be sad. You will realize though girl that in the end it's not worth it. I regret turning down good guys for jerks, cuz in the end I always lose. And a lot of times the good guys are nerdy, because since they have no looks they have to treat girl good. Maybe we are just to picky. But trust me there are good looking guys that will treat you good. Just don't give up.


i hope its something simple n not very expensive. as it is a physics project, it has to be something related to physics ONLYyou can also give any sites if you know of any.....\nthanks!

You could easily (and cheaply?) demonstrate capillary action, the effect that draws ink up the split nib of an old fashioned pen or quill pen.  Suspend various strip samples of material from a rod over a pan filled with water and food coloring and see how far the liquid clims various materials (diferent natural and synthetic cloths of tight and loose weave and paper and wood, etc.  Make at least two samples of each material so that you can experiment at home and then set up the rig at school in the order you found to show the most to the least capillary action and explain why.  Study one or more websites for an explanation of the effect.  Good luck.


This question was made by the author Michael Swan in his grammar book: "Practical English Usage". He added: "this is a complicated area of English grammar which has not yet been completely analysed". Does anyone want to talk about it?

As a native speaker of English, I don't see a problem with "a found object." In fact, I believe the term "found object" is often used in the art world.\n\nIn fact, I cannot think of an example where a participle cannot be used with a noun. Participles, by definition, are adjectives, and thus can be paired with nouns.\n\nEdit: I don't think there's anything essentially wrong with saying "the built house," it is just fairly non-sensical. Of course it's a built house, otherwise it wouldn't be a house. Also, there is nothing gramatically incorrect about "the mentioned point," it satisfies the requirements of noun phrases, but simply doesn't make much sense. Mentioned where? There is simply not enough information. "The unmentioned point" is not only grammatically correct, but even makes sense by itself, so we can know that "the mentioned point" is at least grammatically viable, even though it may not be sensical.\n\nI think that's what this author is trying to get at. He is not trying to explain rules of grammar, but to create rules of usage, which cannot ever be absolute. Many past participles cannot be put before a noun, simply because the pairing usually doesn't make sense without some sort of adverb modifier, not because of any more fundamental reason.

I am interested in finding some fun traveling coffee mugs/tumblers. I want ones with cartoons on them or comic strips or funky/modern designs. When I say traveling mugs I mean the kind you can buy at starbucks to carry your coffee around, not actual mugs.

It would be fantastic if you could find one with the Jolly Green Giant or The How Many Licks Owl from Tootsie pop and other vintage/retro cartoons and characters....Any help is appreciated but not answers like search on google and once again I have tried ebay!

Try novelity shops, souvenir stores, and stores like Spencers. For specific ones, try looking at speciality stores.\n\nOr you could try the "make your own" cups, and use your computer to print out whatever design you'd like.

Self pleasure is a natural and healthy part of life.  There are no side to effects to self pleasure at all (most men do it 3-4 times a week).  If anything, self pleasure should improve your sex life by helping you know your body better and gain more control.

A transnational corporation is the same as a multinational corporation. It has its headquarters in one country and has offices or production units in several other countries.

Over a period of 10 years I have written over 1,000 files - data and reference, and all in ascii format - or unformatted text in Pc language.  Many of these were written on an Atari.

Click the link-- should answer all your HSV questions.

Have your son find a support group to discuss anything HSV related with- he may not think it's important but it'll help him to understand that there are more people than he may realize who share the same virus-- and that they're people, too, with the same wants/needs/desires as everyone else. :)


I'm looking for companies that you can fax your resume to and they allow you to work from home. prefer customer service are collection, data entry,or 10key

Most people who work at home and are successful are doing one of two things - getting paid a commission on everyone they convince to join the program (also known as MLM or pyramid plans) OR they have their own business. Your own business is something you create yourself, not find on the internet. You create it based on your skills, your passions not on what someone else tells you is the GREATEST thing going.\n\nIf you are looking at one of the endless "opportunities" out there be careful - most are scams. Here are a few questions you should ask to help figure out if the one you are looking at is for real or not.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?


i think in in love with this guy, but i dont know for sure. we grew up together and i just moved to a town 24 miles away.our parents are best friends.when we lived next door to each other we always used to go sleding on Nut Cracker Hill and stuff. how do i know if i really am in love with him or if i just consider him a really good friend? and if i do love him , how do i make a move?

just tell him if he is ready for him self to be lover that U ready 2. and tell hime 2 that U want him to be that way coz U love him. The other way is kiss him on his leap during U'r play and if he feels strange(not ready) ask sorry and keep not doing it for a while that gives him a hint.

The more I read about the past the more I see of it in the present.Many people in this country no longer believe in God and think the government is protecting them from terrorists by taking away freedom from them.The terrorist believe in there own God and sadly have scored a major victory because everyday our government passes another law that restricts freedom is another victory for Osama & Fundamentalists.We aren't Americans anymore we're becoming paranoid prisoners in a madhouse.

Don't beleive everything you read or see on tv. The majority of Americans are hard working, spiritual people.  Any time you have freedom of choice you have problems that have to be handled by laws. Stay up on the issues and vote your beliefs. Hold your elected officials accountable.


I've heard weather people discuss a "swell" as well - what does this mean?

The tide comes in and goes out due to gravity, the waves are attributed to wind, techtonic plate activity and weather cycles on the surface of the ocean.  A swell means wave action may be increasing on certain beaches depending on which way the beach faces, i.e. south facing beach.


Valentine's day is a drag. I welcome anyone to prove me wrong. I still think it's pretty stupid if you're lucky enough to have somebody special. Why is it necessary to have an assigned day for that purpose? I would think things would be more meaningful if you did them for no reason. Whatever I always dread Valentines day. I think the world would be better off without it. It's just another excuse to capitalize to make a buck. Any thoughts, or comments?

Well, you just have to find someone who shares the same V-day opinion that you do.  My husband and I love V-day b/c it's our anniversary.  We share that as our day.  Not as a commercialized holiday.

I broke up with my gf in May.  I still think about her...sometimes a lot.  Is this okay?  Shouldn't I be moving along better by now?  It's very frustrating...what can I do?

Nothing abnormal about that.  Men may not want to admit it but traditionally we are slower to move on.  If your really loved her, you may always think about her but over time it will be less often and someone will fill the void.  For now don't worry about it and work on finding someone else, just don't be in such a hurry that you hook up with someone you realy don't care about or who doesn't care about you.


I need to find some information on how my mom got put in jail. she and my dad never told me what went on durring that time and now i dont ever see either of them so i cant ask either of them. so if you can please find me a website that i can go to to find the information i need to understand it better. i am only 15 and this is verry hard for me to handle but i am going along good so far. i apreciate all the help that i can get from you.

Well first you have to ask yourself how ur gonna feel after you find out what happens. But if you really want to know then check on your state's Department of Corrections and look up her name somehow. Just search in Google '<state> Department of Corrections' and something should come up.


I gave a 2 weeks resignation letter, and was told that my employment would be terminated on the day I turned it in.  Instead of the date I had given.  I am wondering if I am entitled to the pay for those two weeks, that I would have worked.

In the absence of employment contracts stating otherwise, employment is presumed to be voluntary and indefinite for both employees and employers. As an at-will employee, you may quit your job whenever you want, usually without consequence. On the flip side, at-will employers may terminate you whenever they want, usually without consequence.  However, in many states employers must at least show "good cause" for terminating you. But good cause or not is often a matter of interpretation by the courts or arbitrators. http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/laborlaws/l/aa102300.htm


which is the correct answer from the options\na)the moon must be full\nb)the moon must be waxing\nc)it must be the beginning of the month\nd)it must be winter in the northern hemisphere

A is correct, the moon muct be full, meaning the earth is between the sun and moon.\n\nThe other condition necessary is that the moon must be on the ecliptic.  The orbital path of the moon is tilted five degrees from the ecliptic, which is the plane that holds the orbit of the earth about the sun.  If the moon is above or beow the ecliptic, then the earth's shadow will miss it.  In the summer and the winter, there are two times when the moon crosses this ecliptic.  If there's a full moon in that time, then ther's a good clance of a lunar eclipse.  If there's a new moon in that time, there's a good chance of a solar eclipse.

My husband and I would like to open a children's museum, bookstore, learning center, science museum, etc.  We would like to locate it in the struggling downtown area of our 40,000 population metropolis that has a daytime traffic of 150,000 or so.  There is even an abandoned train depot that is merely a skelton now that I think would be perfect... IF we could get funding.

There are plenty of places to get funding. I am no expert, but I have provided some links below. They should be good places to start. Good luck.


It's an age old question. What do YOU think the answer is?

Haha. This is a question that seems to go on forever isn't it? Well...in Biblical terms, the chicken came first.


I know it sounds crazy but i just cant get my songs to onto my ipod nano.  all my songs are on my laptop downloaded from LimeWire....I tried for 3 hours and now im ripping my hair out and eating animal crackers..freaking out...

Have you loaded itunes? Load it, Import your songs into itunes via the 'add file to library' or 'add folder to library' option under 'file'. Then, connect your nano and it should automatically update. Oh, you'll need to make sure all the little blue boxes next to the song titles are checked to get them to update into the nano.


I know lesbians wouldn't use them for birth control, but do they use them for any other reason

Yes.  I am a lesbian and I use them for lubrication.  My partner has a strap on dick and we put flavored condoms on it and take turns licking it!


I am being given a chance to create a to-be-broadcasted tv report on anything i want in my city.  I figure i should report on things pertaining to women.  Anyone have ideas?

How about something pertaining to Amelia Earhart, or Marilyn Monroe?


hi there,\nwhen i look in the 'processes' part of windows xp task manager i see that there are a lot of processes running in the background. i would like to have the least amount of processes running so they're not using up valuable RAM but i imagine some of these are important to keep open.\ni do plan on upgrading my RAM soon but i can't afford it right now.\nany help would be greatly appreciated.\n\nmany thanks!

any process not pointing to c:\windows\ or c:\windows\system is a additional process running after installing mp3,system etc software.\ntherefore removing them will only make them temporary  unable and starts working as sson as you open that application\n\nto be safe turn the application for which you are not sure to manual which works the way i defined above.
