how do you love someone without ever gettting hurt

Don't expect to never get hurt. Just asking this question indicates that you're a sensitive person, and there will be things along the line that will hurt you. Just be sure that you take a little time to think about things rather than a gut reaction, which will only aggravate situations.


I have been told that the recommended age to get the prostate checked, is 40 years old. What is the significance of that age? Is is just random? Is it that studies and current evidence show that problems with the prostate tend to show up at 40, but not earlier?

the prostate is a walnut sized gland that encircled the urethra, the tube through which urine passes. This gland produces the seminal fluid, it forms most of the ejaculation. They don't know the exact reason, but there is evidence that a high-fat diet may play a role in promoting it's development. Recurring prostate infections and a genetic predisposition to prostate cancer are also possible factors.\nWhen a man reaches middle age, it often starts growing. It appears to be mainly caused by hormonal changes associated with aging.


a circular flower garden has a radius of 5 meters. it will be expanded so that its radius will be icreased by 2 meters. about how much greater will the expanded area? use 3.14 for pi.\n\na 12.6M2\n\nb 50.3M2\n\nc 75.4M2\n\nD not here

The area of circle is pi*r^2 (pi r square). Now let the increased radius be R and iniitial radius be r.\nArea after expansion  =pi*R^2 (pi R square)\nArea before expansion =pi*r^2 (pi r square)\nIncrease in area      =pi*R^2  - pi*r^2\n                      =pi(R^2 - r^2) \n                      =pi(R+r)(R-r)\n                      =3*(7+5)(7-5), taking pi=3 aprox.\n                      =3x12x2\n                      =72 approx.\n Since answer c alone is near to this value the answer is C.\n\nThough the steps given are more the problem is done mentaly and not by writing these steps. The steps in mental calculations are \n1. 7+5=12\n2. 7-5=2\n3. 3x12x2=72 and choose the answer.


"Making Marijuana against the law is like saying God made a mistake"\n-Bill Hicks\n\n\nit's only illegal because the government doesn't have the control over it like they do on every other substance that is legal.\nAlcohol is much worse for you than marijuana, yet it's legal. you do the math.\nIt has nothing to do with the harm that marijuana may have, yet that is what all the propaganda is based on.  Otherwise, how would you have propaganda being at all useful if it was just simply "the government cant control it, so don't use it". No, they want to lie and preach that it's actually harmful to you. That's the only way they get it to stay illegal, too many people think it's actually harmful so there's not enough to overturn the rule.\n\nIt's also not a matter of IF it can harm you at all. You can get harmed by anything taken beyond moderation. The fact is it has less harm than something that is legal. Therefore being nothing short of total hypocrisy and lies by the government.\n\nP.S.\nI'm not a pothead or a hippy, etc.. I don't use it and I never have. I know enough people and have seen enough information that I don't need to be a pothead to have a strong view on the matter.

Population control is a a must for every country insgeneral and india in Particular

The world has become very overpopulated.  I can remember when they talked ZERO POPULATION GROWTH, but that seems so long ago.  Our large population certainly has a lot to do with our dwindling Natural Resources.  Large Cities and their pollution is causing the GREEN HOUSE EFFECT, which is in turn affecting all of us.  Most Governments will not take a stand on an official population policy because of different religous beliefs.  India that you mention is certainly a country that has religous beliefs that would cause a large population.  The problem is also genetic as it is in nearly every human being the urge to procreate.


HE PROBABLY DIDN'T CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

having pride in your country and pride in your 'president' are two different things....you fake-patriotic, brownshirt imbeciles.\n\nI don't think he knew it would turn out exactly like it happened.  Nobody did. But he knew it wasn't necessary. The only necessity it fulfilled was the pre-existing agenda. What particularly that agenda aims to do is up for debate.\nWe do know this. The agenda did not have the goals of 'ridding terrorism' or WMD's or freeing people.\nThose were only used as justifications...and used repeatedly they were. If the administration didn't milk all of their 'justifications' for all it is worth, there would be no support at all.\nUnfortunately, a lot of people in america are revenge-crazed, ignorant and hateful imbeciles without asking questions, created out of the fear that 9/11 provided. Fear is a damn good motivator to turn decent people into idiots. so they ate up whatever the administration provided as a reason to go in Iraq.\nSo a lot of people actually think that we're trying to get rid of wmd's and rid terrorism and free people.\nFine. that's what the public wants and that is noble. that's what we've been TOLD the administration wants. But that's only what they tell so they can get public support and make their real intentions look noble.\nThe real intentions aren't to make Iraq a paradise or rid terrorism.\nIt would include profiteering and to make a staging area for the rest of our engagements that will take place in the future there. That is not what I have in mind for a good reason to go into Iraq.\nNor is it what other people have in mind as a good thing. But the administration likes it. \nIf people like the idea of defense contractors getting lots of money, chickenhawks sending soldiers off to die for anything but defending our country, having better access to WW3 when it kicks off.....there would be no need to perpetrate 9/11 or the constant use of fear of terrorism to do it.\n\nBut people are usually good people and need noble reasons and justifications....so we get fed all of the fake bullsh** and we think it's all for the good fight.\n\nPeople know the only defensible war is a war of defense. Problem is people still think 9/11 is a good reason for America to have the get-out-of-hell free-card to do whatever they feel like.\n\nThis Iraq/terrorism fiasco is nothing more than a polished turd.\nEveryone knows it's a turd, but you still have the paranoiacs and ignoramus's out there too blind to see beyond the polish.


Because over 10% of the Asian and Pacific Islander population is chronically infected with Hepatitis B, all members of this community should be screened.\n\nThe screening test will determine the presence of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg).  If this is positive for more than 6 months, then further testing is needed.\n\nIf the HBsAg is negative, then Hepatitis B Vaccination should be considered.\n\nWho is chronically infected with Hepatitis B?\n\n1 of every 8 Vietnamese\n1 of every 10 Chinese\n1 of every 12 Korean\n\nOf these, 1 in 4 (25%) will die from liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC) or liver failure.\n\nHave you been tested and vaccinated?\n\nhttp://liver.stanford.edu/Edu/Edu_hepbinasians.php

I am white and American but have eaten raw shell fish in the past and had unprotected sex in the 70's. I have been tested four times due to these factors. I am lucky, my test came back negative but I have not been vaccinated as I do not practice either of those two habits any longer and the shots are not suggested for people with AOPID.


Assume that most of the last 40 years would be good ones.

This is a hard question, but since I am age 51, I would rather die at 90 alone, than to die in 4 years from now. My life has not been so great in the last 40 years with divorces and deaths of loved ones, so I would rather live a long time now that I have started to be happy again in my present marriage and life.


No offence 2 any1 but ART -\n1.what's the point of it I'm not even good at it!!!\n2.most people in my claas just goof around.\n3.i'm never gonna use it unless i become an artist!!!LOL!!!               Peace Out!!!


for privacy reasons, i want to disable my sounds and corner page alerts while myself or other users are on on the computer. can anyone help me? your patient answer wil be greatly appreciated.

Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.


in God we trust is printed on the money we use not in the pledge of allegiance\n\nthey want to take UNDER GOD out of the pledge.  this is because of the seperation of church and state in 1963 people think that there should be NO religon in the Gov't \n\nThis Is BS.  the US was FOUNDED on RELIGON\n\nAll men are CREATED equal.  we are endowed BY OUR CREATOR with...\n\nits the freedom OF religon not the freedom FROM religon\n\nit was writen in the constitution that people should be able to WORSHIP GOD AS THEY PLEASE.  it was to prevent the Gov't from telling people you must practice THIS (specific) religon.  It wasn't written to take away the FOUNDING PRINCIPLES of this country.\n\nthe people who are trying to take UNDER GOD out of the pledge are behaving stupidly.  If we all had a little more of GOD's Qualities (love, joy,peace,meekness,kindness,wisdom,and longsuffering)\nthe world would be a much BETTER place \n\nstop trying to take God OUT! and start trying to put him BACK IN!\n\nTHE GOD OF ISREAL FOR PRESIDENT!  AMEN!


I need to stay in shape for my spring sports season and i have been good about staying in shape for the past year and a half...but the past two weeks ive hardly worked out at all.  In two weeks i ran about 4 times...how long will it take me to get back in shape and how out of shape will i be in?

I wouldn't think get in shape in 2 weeks, when you diet without doing any type of excersice, you will lose muscle tissue, when you diet or eat healthy and excersice ( aerobics, weight lifting) you will gain muscle, more muscle means you will burn more calories than you used to burn before. so make fitness for life, not for just 2 weeks. eating healthy meals and doing some type of excercise will help you live longer, feel more energetic and feel good.

Was it a proposal, a date, something else..please share. : )

My boyfriend totally catered to my every need for a whole weekend when I was fighting the flu-- looking my absolute WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. He came over, did my grocery shopping, cooked for me (including homemade soup), rented us movies, made me tea, kept my Vicks Vaporizer running, walked the dog, AND cleaned up the kitchen! I know I looked horrible, but he didn't care. It was also the 1st time he told me that he was in love with me. I thought it was the most romantic and loving thing he could have done.


I would love more if lady u people give the Answer.

Anatomically speaking it is real, but there is only one G-spot (Grafenberg-spot). It's located behind the pubic bone surrounding the urethra. The G-spot is reponsible for Skene's gland discharge (female ejaculation).


It is a very large blanket. It is dark blue and white. My aunt says that they do not make that thread anymore. My grandmother remembers her great grandmother putting it on her bed. It is in good condition. I want to preserve it. I would also like to know if I should insure it.

You could keep it in a moisture proof cedar chest.\n\nHowever, if it has sentimental value, I would use it.  Saving things for a special occasion that never comes is sad.\n\nLet it make some memories for you too.  Keeping it in a box will not do that.  And, you can check completed auctions on EBay for current values.


... mr. booth yelled it out after shooting president Lincoln

Its "Sic semper tyrannis" Missy!! Duuuu!\n\n Sic semper tyrannis is a Latin phrase meaning "Thus always to tyrants". It is the state motto of Virginia (and also that of the USS Virginia), recommended by George Mason to the Virginia Convention in 1776. The phrase is attributed to Brutus at the assassination of Julius Caesar. Also, according to some witnesses, John Wilkes Booth shouted it after shooting Abraham Lincoln in 1865. In his mug shots following the Oklahoma City Bombing Timothy McVeigh is wearing a shirt with a picture of Lincoln on it and "Sic Semper Tyrannis" written below.\n\nI dont understand how you could not know this!


They are teaching it in an ellective philosophy class not a science class. Now, parents are trying to get the class thrown out.  Do you think the class should be allowed or not?

Although I am a strong believer in the seperation of church and state, I also have no problem with the ID issue. I do believe it is an end run around the seperation rules, but I also know as a non-believer I am far outnumbered by those who are believers in the three major religious sects (Christian, Jewish, Muslims) of America. Despite my reservations, I think there are positive things in this controversy: \n  \n1) In Cali, it is an ELECTIVE- you can elect NOT to take it! \n2) I am secure in my own beliefs and that I have passed that on to my child. I can respect her veiws, even if I disagree with them because I know she respects mine back. \n3) I am not afraid to answer my child's questions- it would make me happy because then she is talking to me and it proves she is THINKING. \n4) If your major reason for not wanting this stuff in school is just because you don't like it, you should attend more board meetings so it never gets on the agenda to start with. Don't wait til money and time has been invested to pitch a fit. Get involved.\n5) We are becoming globally Politically Correct. If all you're thinking about is how to prove your way is the right way, how to avoid offending anyone or causing controversy, or how to please everyone, you are not thinking about the SUBJECT AT HAND. \n\nGood Question :-)


to guys, what do you look for in a girl? at least as a teenager that is.

I would prefer a girl who would be loving, caring for me (scold me when i do something wrong); someone nearly like Hermoine of 'Harry Potter'.\nAnd regarding sexual passions, she should touch me not too often, so that i long for her touch; which kindles more passion towards her.


There's this guy I really like in 8th grade (I'm in 7th) and all he knows is that I like him, but he doesn't have any idea who I am. Should I let him know more than my name?

Ya you should go for it cause if you dont later on your gona regret not taking a chance


I have recently heard a study concerning some women noticed a decline in sexual drive while on and even after taking "the pill." My wife's sex drive has been going downhill for the last couple of years following the birth of our child. Please don't tell me to try romance, getaways, etc. Been there done that. Bottom line is ... it ain't me. Also, she is in her mid 40's if this means anything. Anyone in the same situation or any comments, suggestions?

The pill does effect your sex drive so do some other medicines.  Is she taking anything else?  I don't know what medicines exactly but read the labels.  Prozac effects your sex drive, etc.  \n\nIt could just be because she is tired from your child.  Children are extremely energetic and the moms have to keep up with them, making her more tired & having less energy.  \n\nYour eating habbits especially effect your sex drive.  The healthier you eat the better your sex drive.  Has she gained any weight lately?  Be careful with this subject, it is very touchy, but losing only 10 pounds can have a great effect on your sex drive (in a positive way.)\n\nTalk to her about why her sex drive has decreased and that you miss the way you used to be.  Try setting a schedule/ appointment with each other.  I know it sounds ridiculous BUT if she has a certain day/ time to look forward to she will actually prepare to mentally be there and not waste her energy on other things.  In these hectic times, scheduling helps.  Maybe, every Wednesday night, find a babysitter & have date night.  Go out, relax her mind and then come home when the kids are sleeping and continue the date.\n\nIf you don't figure something out, try talking to a counselor.  They will be full of suggestions that will work.


My desktop picture changed and now says your pc is infected with spyware.  Please remove, but I have scanned and removed all that were detected.  Why hasnt this changed?  Im also still getting one pop-up that says I need to remove this spyware.  None of the anti-spyware software I have has detected it.  Is there anything out there that can help me?

Get Microsoft Windows updates from windowsupdate.com and download the free AVG spyware removal tool from http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1  I have tried other removal tools, but this one gets them all.


This is fun! Don't look it up on the net, see if you can do it from scratch!

I forgot how to do those, but it's some sort of trig identity isn't it?  Like\n\nsqrt (1-tan [x])\n\nProbably not though.


In most circumstances it is.  It is a violation of copyright to make another copy unless you have a license to do so, and another violation to sell or give away the copy.  \n\nIf you never purchased the music in the first place, downloading or copying the music before you burn the cd is also a violation.\n\nBut sometimes it is ok.  For instance, if you buy a song from I-tunes, you get the right to make a certain number of copies (I forget the number, maybe 6.)  And if all you are doing is making a copy for yourself, the damages are less.


something before a big date. was he right? if so , how often and how much beforehand?

Haha!  It's good to be back - computer was down for a few days.  Well.. I'm not a guy, (obviously), but unless things go REALLY well on a date it's a turn-off when the guy is all over you.  You've got to conquer the gettin-to-know-you before you jump on that.  So if it's a REALLY good date then you did get to know each other and it's okay to fall into that animal instinct.  If you're like 99% of the guys out there then maybe it is a good idea to relieve your stress before the date.  You may not get the urge to, er, be selfish on the date, and that will tell the girl that you respect her.  Also - it might give that first impression that you're a laid back bad-a*s type that most of the ladies can't resist.  So yeah - I think it is a good idea!  HA!


My computer is running really slow, and I think it might need more memory - but I am not sure.

You need at least 512 to run windows efficiently.  You also need to download some software if you havent already to make sure you don't have any adware on your computer.  I highly recomend downloading and using antispyware beta from microsoft.com.  Then goto housecall.trendmicro.com and run their virus thing to make sure you don't have any viruses.  Finally, go through your startup items and disable any of the junk you don't need... hit the windows key + R (or go start, run) and run msconfig.  The last tab is the one you should be concerned with.  You should be careful here and search each thing you don't recognize so you can determine if should be on there or not.


well they bombed Pearl Harbour (hawaii) in order to eleminate the threat of US intervention, and give them time to sieze an empire before the Us could strike, that way they might get to keep it

In a short answer in the early 1800's the industral revoultion was in this peak, so they need something to transport raw materials to factories and finish products to place where it's going to be sold, that was quick, fast, and transport alot of thing, therefore the Locomotive was so important.

best answer with copy and paste from internet.


Not that it would have necessarily turned the tide, but that pass interference call on Asante Samuel was bogus. And Champ Bailey's fumble at the goal line should have been ruled a touchback.

I disagree on the Champ Bailey fumble, there was no good camera angle to confirm it went out of the enzone and not in the field of play. The Samuel/Lelie "defensive" pass intereference...total BS...definately should have been on Lelie if anyone...but certainly...7 pts didn't make a difference anyway with all the turn overs. That being said, no...the officiating was not of the caliber of the playoffs if only based on that BS play alone!

what different things happen to grass in different waters and what would be a good web site to find this information

Try this website, it has some good explanations of things like total dissolved solids, dissolved carbonates, boron, and other things often found in water used for growing plants. There's even a little information that is specific to grasses. \nhttp://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/ageng/irrigate/eb66w.htm#plants\n\nBy the way, I found this using the search terms:\nirrigation water\nSo if you want to duplicate my search and see other results this should get you going.


My daughter has a lump that is on her neck, from behind her ear to almost her chin, the doctors said she had an infected brachial left cyst... Does anyone have any experience with what that is?  They did a 'Fine Needle Aspiration' and biopsy to drain the fluid and to do cultures on the cyst and fluid.  I would really appreciate any information you might have, or things I should ask the Doctors treating her.  Thank you for your help.

Do you mean BRACHIAL CLEFT CYST?\nHope this helps ask your doctor for more information and where to find it!

Recently i faced this scenario. \nwhen i used the word 'intimate'[ ie., to inform] in business communication with my manager,some of my co-workers suggested me not use the word at work/Business.\n\ni was aware of the other meanings of the word and i used the Verbal form only.\n\nDo you really think what i did was wrong??

One can not know what others have in their minds ! So if there happens to be someone who is offended with the use of the word, s/he has to tell it, and you could simply tell that you had no such aim in using that word other than its first meaning. After all, the important thing is to make the business run smoothly and have whatever you have to do done.\nIf s/he does not tell nothing though offended, then leave them alone with their assumptions. They have to grow up to learn to communicate !


Using the following information: \n(1) G2 + M2 ----> 2 GM \n(2) L + 2 M2 ----> LM4 \n(3) 2 L + 2 G2 ----> L2G4 \nDH1 = -784.0 kJ, DH2 = -321.0 kJ, DH3 = 278.0 kJ \nCalculate the enthalpy (in kJ) for the following reaction: L2G4 + 6 M2 ----> 2 LM4 + 4 GM

-278.0 + 2*(-321.0) + 2*(-784.0) = -2488 kJ\n\nI am assuming that the enthalpy was actually given in kJ/mol.

Is it because people have become more sexist?i have seen that many women earn money from men by wrongly accusing him of sexually harrasing her or raping her.people usually think the girl is the victim in cases like this even if she is the guilty one.

Rape is not a crime of sex, rape is a violent crime. People do not "usually think the girl is the victim" That statement is patently false. If a female is between the ages of nine and forty she is likely to be questioned as to what she did to entice the rapist. \n\nRape is called "the most underreported violent crime in America." In a large national survey of American women, only 16% of the rapes (approximately one out of every six) had ever been reported to the police. \n\nIn a study conducted by the Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers interviewed 8,000 women and 8,000 men. Using a definition of rape that includes forced vaginal, oral, and anal intercourse, the survey found that 1 in 6 women had experienced an attempted rape or a completed rape. \nAt the time they were raped:\n22% were under the age of twelve\n54% were under the age of eighteen\n83% were under the age of twenty-five\n\n25% of rapes take place in a parking garage or public area. \n68% of rapes occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. \nMore than 45% of rapists were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. \nRapists used a weapon in 29% of all rapes. \nThe victim received external injuries in over 47% of all rapes.\n\nHow are these women "the guilty ones?"

I want to lose around 60-70 pounds for my health. If you have had diet pills prescribed to you which ones worked for you the best? Also how much were they? Are they covered by insurance?

I ordered phentermine, low dosage of 30mg which I break in half. It can cause jittery feeling if you take too high of a dose, so keep it low. You can order through online pharmacy. priced as low as 90 pills for $38.00 and as high as 160.00. They really stop your hunger.


I have severe fibromylagia i have been on multiple medicines and have had bad side effects to them, or they just didnt work. It has caused sleeping problems, which i went to a sleep disorder clinic for and was told that its due to my pain that i dont sleep. Any tips?

In my experience pain medications do not work. My best advise is make sure to get plenty of sleep, take a multiple vitamin, keep active in at least low impact sports, and consider Magnesium and Malic Acid supplements (consult the doctor or a nutritionist to have your Magnesuim level checked- it is a simpe mouth swab and not painful), meditation does help some in keeping the pain back if you can seperate your mind from the pain, and try to take 2-3 warm Epson Salt baths a week (Epson salt contains Magnesium and soaking in a warm tub of it helps to get the mineral into the body. Magnesium aids the muscles in using oxygen and when the level is low which is typical in Fibro it can cause are cramps, spasms, and pain.) Also, Fibromyalgia is a neurotransmitter disorder certain foods can trigger similiar symptoms to Fibro. Try eliminating Monsodium Glutamate from your diet. I did and some of my symptoms (chronic headaches and nausea) went away. It is in everything from Doritos to chicken soup. A few key finding's of an FDA study found MSG to cause a "burning sensation in the back of the neck, forearms and chest". If you need adjustments try to see a D.O. instead of a chiropractor. Chiros tend to be a little more violent in their adjustments and can cause more pain in your soft tissue. D.O.s do a more passive adjustment which I've found to be much more beneficial. Otherwise, learn your limits and pace yourself.\nGood luck!


when this bird calls out .how many sounds does the bob white make

In the spring and summer time, you'll hear them making a lot of noise.  two or three tones like Bob Bob White.  And in the winter, they are pretty quiet.  You may hear them just say Bob once in a while.


The law (and lie) was given by Moses,\nBut grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.\n\nYe shall know the truth... shall make you free!\n(not option-all, and "ye" do err becomes "you")\n\nNeither of two "servants" in Rom 6:17,18 are free?

The slaves in Rom 6:17-18 are free. They are free to choose whether to be a slave of sin or a slave of righteousness. Since we are mere mortals we will serve one or the other.\nThey choose to be free from sin and serve righteousness.\nThanks be to God that we have that choice.\nGrace is God's undeserved favor toward us.\nJesus is the truth


has any1 got a fave team? If so WHICH 1?

My favourate team is Italy because of her 94 World Cup hero, Roberto Baggio. He was play very well even Italy lost the game eventually. He was spirit of the whole team in 94 World Cup. I like Italy because of him.


I have a Jewish friend who says Kabballah is basically celebrity Judaism.  Any truth to this?

The Christians had their Gnostics and Mystics and the Hebrews have the Kabbalah and those who study it.  Once the domain of only the inner circle, recent developments have prompted the study of the Kabbalah through new translations of The Zohar (originally written in Aramaic, but now translated into English among other languages).  To the most conservative Hebrews, this is close to (or is) blasphemous.  To the rank and file member, it is more of an amusement.\n\nThe Kabbalah is the source of the mystic information on the “Tree of Life” and the interactions of Divinity with Humanity.  It is thought to be the basis for the Tarot cards and many other European mystic traditions.


is it side effect of rodogyl? is my dental abcess leading to more serious infection like brain damage?

We can't tell from here. Many medications can cause dizziness, but dizziness on only one side is not typical. I think that you need to talk with your oral surgeon about this.


I was told a long time ago by a pretty intelligent person that you should wait about 30 minutes after you've eaten before drinking liquids to allow your body's mechanics take as many nutrients out as possible -- that so much liquid would dilute the necessary fluids, etc in your stomach... Then, a doctor told me that a great way to lose weight is to drink lots of water before you eat, because you'll get full faster and eat less. Eating less would certainly lead to a certain amount of weight loss, but unhealthy weight loss is not a great trade-off for me. Any thoughts on this?

Actually both, when dieting it's better to get as much liquid( especially water) as possible in your diet.


How important are a guys looks to a girl? Are the willing to compromise on looks for other traits? (Yeah im ugly:P )

As long as you are not very ugly, look doesn't really matter. But sure you have to possess other qualities such as good personality, smart brain, etc.


'As for your male and female slaves whom you may have--you may acquire male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you. \nLeviticus 25:43-45\nPagan nations? This could solve the need for prisons in Iraq. Lets put these kids to work!

^\n^\n^\n^\n\nBut if the whole bible is the word of God,why would you disregard certain parts.\n\nI agree.people pick and chose what they will follow and disregard others.\nThe bible said it was an abomination unto God for two men to have sex,but what about tatoos being prohibited,certain foods not to eat because the bible claimed it was unclean.Back then it probably was unclean to eat certain animals because they didn't have reservers that we have today,but that doesn't apply to now.The bible also said not to shave or trin your hair,it prohibited piecings,it said that it is degrading for a man to grow his hair.\n\nChristians disregard all of those laws,but speaks against homosexuality.If you christians believe that the bible is the word of God,why do you pick and chose.\n\nDid you all know that in the bible,David and Jonathan were lovers.If you don't believe me look it up for your self.Search on the internet to make it easier.\n\nNo matter how we prove that the bible is man's word not God's the more scriptures you all quote.\n\nGod condons slavery\nsexism\nwar\n\nAccording to the bible he does.A loving God condons slavery?\n\nI surely hope one day you all come to your senses.


My roommate has had a crush on this guy for quite some time. I never really paid too much attention to him (except a little at the beginning) because I was going out with someone at the time. However tonight at lunch he gave me a hug after he hug her and I really just could not stop giggling how do I keep from ruining the friendship I have with my roomie?

Don't do anything.  If nothing develops with your friend and the guy for a certain amount of time, let's say a month, then tell your friend you wish you could date him.  \n\nShe might be cool with it, if not, then you should really try to hook them up with each other, because it would be no fair to you, if she didn't do anything at all.


I have been trying a new form of hypnosis read this and focus on the words as if they are true and tell me the result, thanks.\nYou are taking a bite out of a chunk of chocolate now, feel the chocolate slide effortlessly across your teeth and the delicious taste starts to melt immediately on your tongue now, mixing the chocolate all through your mouth.  It tastes so good it is amazing without even thinking about it how you love the taste more and more as you chew now.  The flavor grows stronger, twice as delicious with every second that goes by now.  It is getting better and better and the taste is so addicting.  It is like the best piece of chocolate you have ever sampled in your life now.  The chocolate swirling and swirling around your mouth as it melts more and more now.  As it starts to slide down your throat, the exquisite flavor remains behind, reminding you of how good chocolate can be now.  It tastes so good, you crave it more and more now.  You want more chocolate now, yes?

YES!\nIt worked on me may be bcoz i love chocolates and eats them fequently. so i was hypnotised somewhat with ur reading. its good.\n\nBut i think people who love chocolates and eats them frequelty can feel here.


I love the song "Held" sung by Natalie Grant, and have come to the realization that when people that say God protects us from everything, that it simply isn't true, or else we wouldn't grow either.  In your opinon when does God protect people?  Because He doesn't always protect us, do you believe the statement is true that God tests some people more because they have firmer characters, and they should take that as a compliment?

A good place to see how God both protects and yet allows testing is to read the book of Job. There are of course many other verses to prove this also but Job is almost completely about just that. God chastens those He loves and test us often. He never tempts us to sin however and always gives us a way out. Only through trials can a Christian grow and become refined. We are all as Christians to emulate Christ and His whole ministry was temptations overcome without sin, trials and tribulations and so on. He said if they do this to the master will they not also do likewise to you so do not be surprised. The most important thing is that it builds our faith on almighty God and when the next trial comes we are stronger not because of ourselves but because we have seen God bring us through a previous hard time with awesome results if we just hung in there. As far as death no one dies a moment before God allows it unless of course we chose to play god ourselves and hurry the process. I hope all this helps if you need more help just email me....

I am totally depressed with my married life..I am so bottled up inside..feel so worse..it doesn't show but I feel it...No one is there to listen..nobody to tell me what to do...help please..Is this my punishment for getting married at an early age of 18?and disobeying my parents? I'm so full of agony..too much pain locked up inside feel about to explode..No friends around to talk too..nobody else to trust...\nSo hopeless.

I have a child, and I'm a single mom.  Before I finally left my son's father I had been back in forth many times.  Everyone was telling me to stay, except for my older sister.  She told me something that everyone seemed to have missed...my happiness.  If you're not happy, then how much of that pain is reflected upon your children?  Don't stay in a marriage because of children.  You may think your kids are too young to notice your unhappiness, but they aren't.  \nThis is not punishment for you.  You had good intentions when you got married, but things aren't working out for whatever reason.  If you are afraid of leaving because you think you can't make it on your own, have faith, and if you really don't think you can leave because of your children then seek marriage counseling.


I'm doing a program on this so any info would be most useful.  Thanks.

STD's are not created out of thin air.  A healthy person has to get one from an infected person.  Two healthy people, gay or straight, cannot create an STD.


Have had some wonderful Adm Asst/secretarial positions that I often left when upset, over divorce, bad credit, many dramas in my life, might hide I was finally diagnosed as bipolar 13 years ago.  Recently applied for p/t or full time position at Macys, told there were no positions open.  They asked for 2 employers on job app and yet when interviewed, HR rep mentioned an employer whom I had worked for, how did she know this?  I did a good job there but left over discrimination.  Please help me.

find that job you will love!\nWhatever you believe will happen!\n\n\n\nTips for a job hunt. There is more hiring happening!\n\n� "Forget what's available out there" and go for the job you want the most.\n\n� Change the message on your answering machine: Put the kind of work you're looking for in your greeting. "Hi this is Heather. I'm busy right now looking for a job in the finance department at a startup company. I recently saw a candidate wearing a t-shirt with a brief summary of their skills. Now that is marketing yourself!\n\n� Write the phrase "Pay no attention to whether there is an opening (vacancy)" on a piece of paper, paste it on your bathroom mirror and memorize it and repeat it to yourself every morning. It will speed up your job search and you'll keep a positive outlook. Use the web and library (ask the reference librarian) to get ideas on companies you should target.\n\n� Concentrate the majority of your search on companies with fewer than 100 employees. Just because the larger firms are having layoffs doesn't mean the smaller companies aren't hiring. The recovery is already underway at smaller companies.\n\n� Get out of the house. Knock on doors. Do research online or at the library about the places you'd like to work. Then stop in and ask if they are hiring anyone with your skills. Your physical presence will make an impression on the hiring authority. Or tell them "I already e-mailed my resume and\nI would like to put a face with the resume I sent (have a hard copy in your hand). Tell the receptionist that you need her help. At one company where I worked an applicant showed up in a bunny suit, skip that bunny suit idea.\n\n� Be willing to look at different kinds of jobs: full-time, part-time, short term contracts, temporary jobs etc. Consider these jobs as a bridge.\n\n� Join a job seeking support group to get you going and to sustain your momentum. This is so crucial. You are not alone out there. Don't miss an opportunity to network. My hairstylist and Doctor have referred many great candidates to me. I heard about someone who told their Doctor they needed work, they had a job the next day. Join your alumni! Network at your church. Keep seeking new ways to market yourself.\n\n� Make a simple business card with the job you are looking for along with your contact info and e-mail address. The office supply stores sell the business cards stock so you can print them at home and save a bundle. I added a postage stamp sized photo to my business card. I saw a minature resume on one side of biz card.\n\n� Don't be wearied by rejection. The more noes you get out of the way, the closer you are to a yes.\n\n� Dont' just e-mail your resume. Try Faxing and snail ( U.S.) mailing your resume & cover letter. Companies are overwhelmed by e-mailed resumes. I know someone who got an interview and job at Kaiser by faxing her resume, her e-mailed resume didn't get noticed because of the volume of resumes they receive. If a company requests no faxed resumes honor their request and snail ( U.S.) mail it instead. If you know an employee at the company ask them to submit your resume. Your chances for an interview go up dramatically by using these techniques. After you submitted your resume call and follow up.\n\n� Your resume needs to be a marketing brochure on you. List your accomplishments and the results. A great resume is just the ticket to the interview, a mediocre resume is ignored. Check out the resume tips link listed below.\n\n� Got goals? Write down a list of ten realistic and specific goals. Create them as if you already achieved them. For example "I earn $75,000 a year" or "I am the Manager of Product Development". Then list everything you can do to achieve each goal, act on specific item now. Goals give you a tremendous sense of control, a real sense of power. Don't share your goals with anyone.\n\n�

I have Windows XP Pro on my pc now and it keeps screwing up.I don't have the XP Pro disk. I had bought a XP Home Edition upgrade a while ago. Can I use the Home upgrade to install over the XP Pro without messing my pc up totally? I have a Win 98SE disk too.\n I know this probably didn't make any sense but I hope someone understands what I mean lol\n              Thanks in advance :)

I don't think you'll have any luck trying to go from Pro to Home.  I definitely DON'T recommend Win 98.\n\nHave you tried System Restore?  It's a function that lets you take XP back to a given point where it ran error-free, so you can either figure out what went wrong, or just leave well enough alone!  It's definitely worth trying if you haven't already.\n\nTo access System Restore, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.  Choose Restore My Computer To An Earlier Time, then choose the latest day from the calendar when you knew your computer was working properly.  You won't lose any data or files, but any programs installed after the restore date will have to be reinstalled.  Good luck!\n\nP.S. Yes, I think you could install the XP Home upgrade over Win 98.  But I'd only do that if System Restore doesn't help.


All around the mullberry bush the monkey chased the weasels, the monkey though it was just for fun, pop goes the weasel.

It's cockney rhyming slang - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockney_rhyming_slang\n\n\n\nTo "Pop" is the slang word for "Pawn". Weasel is derived from "weasel and stoat" meaning coat. It was traditional for even poor people to own a suit, which they wore as their 'Sunday Best'. When times were hard they would pawn their suit, or coat, on a Monday and claim it back before Sunday. Hence the term " Pop goes the Weasel"

Possibly, did a fear of your death in this world, help breed a hope for life beyond? Or did your belief of a life beyond cause you to fear a hell? Does fear keep you from questioning your faith, and the inconsistancies contained within the bible?\n\nI am not asking you to renounce your faith or question what you believe, simply find the base on which your hope lies.

I'm sure that there are some who wanted "fire insurance", if you will. They see the big picture of the interplay of good vs evil. Then see the whole of creation, either the immense universe, or the simple design of the flower everyday. They realize that they have committed "sin", at least disobeyed one of the ten commandments. They begin to think there might possibly be something to this "God" thing, and if so, maybe they ought to do something about it. \n\nThing is, that simple step of faith becomes something more than ever thought. It introduces them to a person. Jesus. He then introduces them to the living God. The fear of death or hell is no longer an issue. It is not because they believe it, but because of a real, dynamic relationship with a loving God allows them to know it for certain.


i live in sacramento but i need to know about the structure of y government for a long report please let me know everything you can, thanx

different cities in california run their governments differently - how they organize it is up to the city.  you should visit the city of sacramento's webpage.  you can find out a lot about the structure of the city government at the link below.\n\nan excerpt:\n\nIn 1920, Sacramento City voters adopted a City Charter (municipal constitution) and a City Council-City Manager form of government, which are still used today.\n\nThe City Council consists of a Mayor elected by all City voters, and Councilmembers elected to represent the eight separate Council districts in the City. Each district is a separate geographical area with a population of about 51,000 residents. Each Councilmember must be a registered voter and live in the district they represent. Elected members serve 4 year terms and elections are staggered every two years in even numbered years. (Council District Information, including summary report of population and racial statistics).


Is the year-round method better than the agrarian method currently used in today's schools? If there are any concrete statistics on this question, I'd be very glad to see them.

I am setting up outlook express and it is ask ing about POP3 and SMTP what do i fill in here

POP3 means Post Office Protocol\nSMTP means Simple Mail Transfer Protocol\nBoth POP3 and SMTP addresses are usually provided by the ISP(Internet Service Providers). \n\nOtherwise, if you want to download your yahoo, gmail, inbox and like other mails you can configure according to their guidelines. For example if you want to configure your yahoo! mail plus account to your Outlook Express... below is the procedure....\n-------------------------------------------\nOutlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile. This means you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Yahoo! Mail messages. Here's how: \n\nFrom the Tools menu, choose "Accounts." \nSelect the "Mail" tab. \nClick the "Add" button. \nFrom the Add menu, click "Mail." \nIn the text box labeled Display Name, type your name and click "Next." \nIn the Email Address box, type your Yahoo! Mail address (be sure to include "@yahoo.com") and click "Next." \nUnder "My incoming mail server is a..." select "POP3." \nType "pop.mail.yahoo.com" in the Incoming Mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) Server box. \nType "smtp.mail.yahoo.com" in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server box. \nClick "Next." \nIn the Account Name box, type your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com"). \nIn the Password box, type your Yahoo! Mail password. \nIf you want Outlook Express to remember your password, check the "Remember password" box. \nDo not check the boxes labeled "Log on using Secure..." \nClick "Next." \nClick "Finish."\nImportant: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server now requires authentication. To turn this setting on: \n\nFrom the Tools menu, choose "Accounts." \nSelect the "Mail" tab. \nDouble-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com." \nSelect the "Servers" tab. \nCheck the box next to "My Server Requires Authentication." \nClick "OK." \nTo control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server: \n\nFrom the Tools menu, choose "Accounts." \nSelect the "Mail" tab. \nDouble-click the account labeled "pop.mail.yahoo.com." \nSelect the "Advanced" tab. \nIn the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer. Do not check this box if you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them in Outlook Express. \nIf your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below: \n\n\nFrom the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts" \nSelect your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Properties" button \nClick on the "Advanced" tab \nNext to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587 \nClick "Apply", then click "OK" and "Close" \n-------------------------------------------

if spending money on internet adds is a good way to get more traffic.......is it best to put adds on search engines sites.

Use meta tags in your webpages. Submit your URL to each individual search engine. Find free directories on the internet. Exchange links with websites that have similar content to yours, or that get the same target visitors that youd like to come to your website. Make business cards with your web address. \nYou could try to optimize your website for search engines. I used this site http://www.searchbliss.com/seo-tools/default.htm\nI did all of these things and I get a good amount of traffic to my website, and my traffic has been increasing month to month. All of them were free except for the business cards.

I would say run/cycle to lose weight, either on treadmill/fitness bike or outside. About 1hr per day for that. 300-500 situp/crunches combination (takes about 30 minutes) in order to build abdominal muscles, and the dumbbells to build arms (whatever rep until your arms feel tired, but not extremely tight). You can lie down and lift the weights from your arms in a T position up to build chest muscles but benching is more effective.

I guess it is all on how you look at it, but I think it is a little further south.\n\nThe International Date Line:\nOn Jan 1, 1995 The Republic of Kiribati, formerly the Gilbert Islands, moved the International Date Line to include its entire territory to the western side of it and prevent the country from remaining in two different days. As a result, the line has a bulge further east than Honolulu.\nBecause of this eastern bulge in the International Date Line, Kiribati claimed that Caroline Island would be the first point of land to see in the new millennium.\nUnfortunately the Sun doesn't rise here before it does in the Antarctic, much further south.\nCaroline Island is actually an atoll of 22 small islets protected by a very shallow reef and is about as hard to get to as the Antatartic; you would probably need to go in by seaplane.\nFirst inhabited place to see the Jan 1st sunrise.

I have gallstones.  I want to know what other options I have other than surgery.

Generally if there are no symptoms, there is no treatment (ignore them as it were).\n\nModern advances in surgery have revolutionized the treatment of gallstones. In general, surgery is used only if you have symptoms.\n\nIn the past, open cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) was the usual procedure for uncomplicated cases. This operation required a medium-to-large incision just below the right lower rib in order to get to the gallbladder. After this operation, a patient typically spent 3 - 5 days in the hospital recovering.\n\nHowever, a minimally-invasive technique called laparoscopic cholecystectomy was introduced in the 1980s, which uses small incisions and camera guidance to remove the gallbladder.\n\nCurrently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for treating gallstones that cause symptoms and is one of the most common operations performed in hospitals today. Using this approach, a patient may have the gallbladder removed in the morning and be discharged from the hospital on the same evening or the next morning.\n\nIn addition, gallstones blocking the common bile duct may be visualized and removed during the laparoscopic procedure. Because this surgical treatment method has a complication rate of less than 1%, it has supplanted using medication to treat gallstones.\n\nMEDICATION\n\nIn people with a functioning gallbladder, bile salts taken by mouth may dissolve gallstones. However, the process may take 2 years or longer, and stones may return after the therapy is ended.\n\nMedical dissolution, using both high-dose and low-dose chenodeoxycholic acids (CDCA, chenediol) was an approach investigated in the early 1980s. However, it was successful in only 14% of cases and required a long period of administration and a lifetime of maintenance therapy.\n\nUrodeoxycholic acid (UDCA, ursodiol) is successful in only 40% of cases. Both CDCA and UDCA therapies are useful only for gallstones formed from cholesterol.\n\nOther chemical methods include contact dissolution, in which a catheter is passed through the abdominal wall and into the gallbladder. Methyl tert-butyl ether, a volatile chemical, is then instilled. This chemical rapidly dissolves cholesterol stones, but potential toxicity, stone recurrence, and other complications limit its usefulness.\n\nLITHOTRIPSY\n\nElectrohydraulic shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has also been used to treat gallstones. In this method, electromagnetic high-energy shock waves break up the stones.\n\nThis approach was particularly popular in the mid-to-late 1980s, when some studies found it to clear gallstones in up to 60% of patients. However, its application is limited if there are a large number of stones present, if the stones are very large, or in the presence of acute cholecystitis or cholangitis. It can also be used in association with UDCA to improve its effect.

I love your questions.  The liberals are crying because they lost, twice.  They have to say Bush cheated, Bush lied, Bush stole the vote!  They sound like my kids when they were younger fighting over who won a board game. Just like i told my kids, its called "being a poor loser".


My taskbar shoves all the open programs to thre far right of the taskbar, even though there are no extra toolbars or anything like that. Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? I am usually good with computers, but this roblem just stumped me.\n\nthanx,\nLaxman19

This could be due to your Quick Launch area having been set too large. An easy way to check is to rightclick on task bar, go to properties, and un-select "Show Quick Launch." If that solves the problem, you need to just resize the quicklaunch. To do that, rightclick task bar again, and ensure that "Lock the Taskbar" is not checked, then just click and drag the partition to the right of your Quick Launch area.\n\nHope this helps.


for example temperature, moisture, water levels...ect.

the earth was at a stable orbit.  no  tilt or axis to cause differences in the seasons the earths temperature was just about uniform at 72 deg F.  the earth was at that tome also protected by the vapor barrier basically A thin shield of ice in the uper atmosphere that served 2 purposes it blocked out the harmful ultra violet radiation from the sun  and it increased the atmosphereic pressure to 2 atmospheres.\n\nthis caused things to live a lot longer and grow a lot bigger.  plants for one thing.  there is more coal on the earth right now then there are plants to produce it.  meaning if you were to take all the plants on earth right now and turn them into coal the pile of coal that you could make would be less than that currently available in the ground not including what has already been taken out.\n\nplanys grew much taller in this environment and so did reptiles lets take the crocodile.  a croc now a days can live about 100 years.  reptiles throughout thier life never stop growing.  so now you have an animal that in 100 years can grow to be about 15 feet long but instead you give it 900 years to grow.....presto you have a dinosaur.  \nthen a few thousand years ago an ice meteor crashed through the vapor barrier hitting the earth. this caused the barier to colapse and as it fell it began to melt and other various things and the world was covered in a great flood.  the earth finally settled back out into a somewhat normal rotation (you ever seen what happens to a gyroscope when you bump it)\n\nnow the earth has a 27.3? or is it 23.7 deg tilt to its rotation that causes us to have 4 seasons and tropics temperate zones and artic zones.\n\nBTW the earth is between 6000 and 10000 years old SCIENCE CAN PROVE IT.  if you want to know how just ask me.  i'll try to explane it as best as i can or you can wisit this website.  and do some reading\n\nall the SCIENCE is right there.


Ive read that even if you sun tan by exposing to the sun little by little, your skin gets hurted when you suntan.

The sun damages your skin every time you are out in it.  Suntanning is NEVER healthy.  Even if you are naturally darker-skinned, you will still have wrinkles and unhealthy skin and it's still possible for you to get skin cancer.\nAlways wear sunscreen or sunblock, at least SPF 15.\nAnd, tanning beds are even worse than the sun--they increase the amount of bad light rays that hit your skin.


I want a strong book bag that does not tear easily and is sturdy. Can you tell me where I can buy one in michigan? Thanks.

There are eleven million illegal alliens: The Border Patrol is ineffective at stopping them, and once here they can open bank accounts, work and function semiproperly, with the laws not very strict at deporting them...

If you're referring to U.S. policy and Mexican border runners, no I do not believe it's a conspiracy.\n\nBureaucracy is simply inefficient all around. There are almost no financial, social, or political pressures to remedy the situation, and in a capitalist/open society, sharp pressure from some interest group is required to force the gears to slowly grind.\n\nBureaucracy: If nobody really wants it, it can sit and collect dust while somebody collects a paycheck staring at it.\n\nIn fact, there are probably a great many pressures not to address the situation both from the immigrant population, the illegals themselves, and the businesses that hire them.  Does anyone want to pay more for labor if you don't have to?  Do their friends and family want them deported?  Do the illegals themselves want to be deported?  Would a business "doing the right thing" actually be doing a good thing to the person by sending them home?\n\nYou also probably get the border patrol "looking the other way" on occasion too. Maybe they know that the poor runner will just be back in a few weeks and might not be so lucky to get so far the next time. From what I've seen in reports, a great many Mexicans die trying to cross in the desert southwest. If you knew a person would not stop trying until they either got across or died trying, which is the compassionate solution: do your job or let it slide?\n\nAll just loose opinion of course, facts and results may vary.


You need to take nail scissors and cut the side of the nail that's embedded and pull it out of the skin.\n\nThen you need a several times a day regimen of using hydrogen peroxide on it.. followed by neosporin.. and a bandaid.  \n\nSoaking in salt water (epsom preferably) will also help.  \n\nIn all honesty.. you may need to go to the doctor.\n\nHere's a good article:\n\nhttp://www.footphysicians.com/footankleinfo/ingrown-toenail.htm

If so, why was evolution proposed and accepted long before radioactive dating was available? Remember, the Scopes Monkey Trial occurred many years before there was radioactive dating.

I too am shocked at the amount of misunderstanding and especially the amount of animosity. I know many esteemed scientists (including anthropologists and geologists) that have no problem being religious and believing in evolution. If you search the internet you will find many websites giving completely non-factual descriptions of how istopic dating works and using the small amount of uncertainty to claim it refutes all sorts of science. I have even seen attempts at disproving the sedimentary record of the Grand Canyon using this. Never mind that these self-described experts have no qualifications to evaluate these things. In my opinion they are motivated by greed and not altruism. Debunking science seems to have become a cottage industry for what I consider pseudo-religious crackpots. \n\nI think the source is a recent trend as I don't remember this hostility in the 1970's or 1980's. There are now television programs that are done professionally and broadcast daily (TBS) that try to refute all sorts of science using PhD's of theology to describe why carbon dating doesn't work, and even to refute things like dinosaur trace fossils by citing the rate of diagenesis in carbonate rocks. There is a constant problem in Texas where the creationists try to remove and destroy fossils whenever a new location is found. \n\nThe mainstream media doesn't help because the reporters and editors appear to be poorly educated in science. I recently watched a CBS Sunday Morning news piece comparing evolution and intelligent design and to my horror they constantly referred to both as scientific theory- effectively equating them as equal in status to millions of viewers. They hardly even mentioned that ID is not science and that it will never qualify as scientific theory. \n\nThere seem to be so many people who never learned the scientific definition of a theory that it becomes easy to confuse the public by implying that anything labeled as a theory is only a conjecture, and I think with this weakness that far too many people decide evolution can be dismissed as unreliable and unproven. I almost wish science would create a new terminology to replace the word 'theory' in order to clear up this semantic confusion. \n\nI have been very impressed by the magnitude of this problem by watching Yahoo Answers. As a former science teacher I am very disappointed that at least part of it seems to come from many young participants. I had hoped they were getting a better education in science, and at the very least had learned better reasoning skills.


A 72-kg gymnast climbs a rope. Calculate the tension in the rope if the gymnast accelerates upward at a rate of 0.23 m/s2. Express your answer to the nearest tenth netwon.

you find the force of gravity, but there is more force acting on the gymnist, so you must add that force too. the force of gravity is mass times gravity so 72 x 9.8 and the other force is mass times acceleration so thats 72 x .23. then you take these two forces and add them together to get the tension in the rope.


Everyone keeps telling me I need to have an escape plan--doesn't need to be an emergency one.  I have two kids.  No family. I refuse to go to a shelter.  I don't have enough money to get my own apartment yet. Where else can I turn?  Need some great brainstorming please!

It sounds like you are living in a dangerous situation. Pray for the wisdom & stregnth needed to leave this situation.\n \n1) Call local Churches & Synogoues they sometimes  provide housing, cash for food, clothing & counseling support\n2) Leave with your life & your childrens lives intact.  You can replace almost everything but life & limb.\n3) Take out a life insurance and disability insurance plan that covers you & your two children\n4) Create an Advanced Directive (a living will)\nthat covers you & your two children\n5) Create a will that covers your two children\n6) Don't ever go back.  \n7) Notify a safe person (Family (even distant family) or Friend) of your status.\n\nTake it from my experience..I have had life circumstances which taught me that my life & my families lives were worth more than all of our clothing, furniture & all of our stuff collectively.  We were able to store a few things.  But we left a lot of our stuff... Hey, we are alive and we can get new stuff later.\n\nLeave, save your life and your childrens lives. By staying, you are teaching them its okay to stay with an abuser.  Do you picture your children and grandchildren living with an abuser in the house?  Get out now, while you can still leave.\nGod Bless

I am confused because in a computer to hub connection, it is not necessary to "cross" the cable wires.

Lets just make it simple...there are 8 pins on each end of the cable. Each pin can either only transmit or only receive data. It is the pin arrangement that determines which cable type to use.\n\nImagine this...u and your friend are PC 1 and PC 2. Right hand can only give but not take. Left hand can only take but not give. Since both of u have the same hand functions. If you have a "straight" cable, the pin arrangement is same on both ends...meaning if u'll be connected right with right, left with left. If u have to pass him an apple, he has to take it with his right but cant. Therefore a cross type corrects this problem....

Been eating a pretty standard (i.e. boring & bland) diet for the last 3-4 years (dont ask). Went to a doctor and found out that I'm not getting all the food nutrients I need and need to add some variety to my diet...\n\nSounds easy right?  Nope...  Because my system is so used to certain foods, whenever I add anything new, I have digestive issues (sometimes painful).  \n\nIts not that I am allergic to these foods, but my system has gotten so used to the same stuff that it freaks out if I add things..\n\nHow can i break new foods into my diet with the least possible suffering?

Small amounts are the key to start. If you eat a small amount, you suffer a small amount, if you eat a large amount you suffer a large amount.\n\nAlso be aware of processed foods and condiments. Ranch dressing has a TON of stuff in it, including MSG. Eliminating sauces and dressings from foods may have a bigger result than you realize. Be extra careful with restaurant food! They are notorious for using sauces and marinades with all kinds of ingredients you wouldn't expect! You might do fine with barbecue ribs untill you go to a place that adds "liquid smoke" for example.\n\nThere is also a question of how your stomach breaks down these foods. Having been on a restricted diet you may have lost some of the basic healthy bacteria and enzymes that help us digest food. Go to your local health food store and ask about digestive enzymes. This isn't something you necessarily need to take forever, just to jump start your digestion until it regains functionality. If you have always had this problem there is always the chance that you are incapable of making certain enzymes.\n\nI would be interested to know if this is stomach pain, intestinal pain, or some other, and what kinds of foods work for you. It would certainly help narrow down exactly what might be causing your difficulty.\n\nGood Luck!


What acids are used in hospitals? What are their medical uses?\nWhat are the medical applications of acidosis?

If you are working in a chemical lab, you should have gotten this answer during your safety training.  However, in the case of most strong acids (HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, etc.) you should flush with lots of water.  If irritation persists, you should seek medical attention promptly bring with you the MSDS for the chemical you spill on yourself.  If you spilled HF, you are in deep trouble.  However, I doubt you could have gotten access to HF without knowing the appropriate precautions to take.\n\nMedically, some acids are used in the removal of warts (among them is trichloroacetic acid).  The alternative there is freezing them off with liquid nitrogen.

I was driving through Georgia on Christmas eve and saw a restaurant sign for the nastiest-sounding foods...\nFried chitlin? what the heck is that, anyways?

Chitlin's, a contraction of the word "chitterlings" are pig intestines, and the people of Salley fry them by the ton during the celebration which is held on Saturday following Thanksgiving.\n\nThe South is famous for its ability to take what most would consider non-useable portions of the animal and turn them into regional delicacies. Pig's feet, hog jowls, ham hocks, cracklin's, and chitlin's are all part of Southern tradition.


The company was a mom & pop shop which was bought out after we left the company and has always had problems with bookkeeping & paystubs.  When talking to the new owners, they said it was the responsibily of the former owners to send out W2s for the time they owned the shop.  If the former owners don't send us one, how can we go about getting the information and documentation for our taxes?

If an employer has a good current address on file and doesn't send you your W-2 before 31 January, then contact the IRS and it will no longer be a problem.  Also, the IRS may extend your deadline past April 15th!  With buy-outs, you'll have to contact the IRS, but I am sure that when a company is bought out, so are the records and the responsibility to send out W-2's.

I know that it is from stress... but I constantly have pain in my neck and back.. it is sore and tender when you touch it... and it's like a constant tension. Is there anything that you know of that would make it go away and for me to feel better.. yes obviously try to reduce the stress.. but I mean... ways to relieve the pain.

Back pain, especially low back pain, is the most common complaint for which physician visits are sought annually in the United States.  The most common cause of back pain is not stress. In fact, stress alone rarely causes back pain; it may, as you mentioned, cause tension (which is just "discomfort" that can be relived with rest and warm showers.\nThe most common causes of low back pain are lumbar stains and sprains, which account for 70% of all low back pain. In lay terms, strain is muscular tear and injury and sprain is ligamentous injury.\n\n(The rest include: "10% of cases are due to age-related degenerative changes in discs and facets, 4% of cases are due to herniated discs, 4% are due to osteoporotic compression fractures, and 3% are due to spinal stenosis. All other causes account for less than 1% of cases.")\n\nRecent studies have shown that bed rest is NOT effective in relieving low back pain and it may even be detrimental as it causes loss of muscle strength in the low back area.  Treatments of choice are multiple and are chosen on a case by case basis.  Physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, range of motion excercises, and surgery in severe cases may be indicated.\nBottom line, you must see a physician and be evaluated as to whether you may benefit from physical therapy.\n\nF.

How come that I am aware of my own existence? I am sure that I can not work without my body as I am sure I am not body, I just drive my body the way I want then who I am? I just know that I am.

Perhaps, I have not communicated with a star or a grain of sand, but this might just be a communication problem.\nI am that I am.\nA catchy phrase.\nSelf awareness.  Being.  But are you so sure of the awareness of anything else?  Just because you have a point of view does not mean that you are separated from the Universe as a whole.  It just means that you have a point of perception, a sinularity of awareness.\nPerhaps the boundary between yourself and the rest of the Universe is a boundary that you imagined?  What if it is not real?  Then how about the dividing lines between mind and body and heart and any other constructs that you might have imagined as well?  And in addition, how about all those items "Out there" beyond your ego boundary that you might consider not you?  What if these are imagined as well?\nBy imagined, I do not wish to imply make-believe.  Just believe.  Perhaps the Universe is too big and complex to deal with, so our pitiful being slices it up in order to "make sense" out of that which is beyond our ability to understand.\nThis might put a whole new twist on the concept of objective reality.

I am a female, is a sexual intercourse without ejaculation considered to be a way to get contaminated. I am not sure if that person has HIV but we had sex without candom and he did not ejaculated inside, and that was one and only one time. Please be very precise about the ways of contaminations.\nThank you

Any unprotected sex, with our without ejaculation is a risk for an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) including HIV.\n\nEven without ejaculation, there are pre-ejaculatory fluids that are released and these can carry HIV. \n\nIn short, nearly any bodily fluid has the potential to tranmist HIV. Whether that is sexual or blood borne in origin.\n\nIf you have concerns, there are many available methods to get tested. Even with safe sex, it is wise to get tested if you are sexuallyactive with multiple partners. Often there are confidential free clinics you can go to.

I received some broken china ($250 worth) and the sender filed a claim the 1st of december. I have called them 3 times and each time they are rude and unbelievably stupid. There is not a place to file a complaint on their website. Can anyone help?

I work for a shipping company and deal with this all the time, so I hope this helps:\nUsually, you have to insure it for the amount that it is worth. If you did that and it broke, then the sender or the recipient files a claim. normally, they will send someone to inspect the item and the packaging and declare if it was "sufficiently packaged". If they say no, then you will not get your claim. if they say that it was, then the claim will be approved, and whoever filed it will have to fill out the paperwork and send it back. normally, a check will be sent to the person who files the claim in about 3 weeks.\n\nI hope this helps with understanding the process. I deal with this on a weekly basis, and i honestly feel that they make it hard so that a majority of people will not go through with it.\n\nPS. If you are having trouble getting in touch with an operator when you call 1-800-GO-FEDEX, when it first says "welcome to fedex", press zero. It will then say, "ok, so i can direct you...blah, blah, blah", press zero again. this bypasses all the menus!

my boyfriend is in another country right now, we email everyday, call each other everyday - message each other everyday... but still i flirt? is it because im a gemini? i even have this relationship right now on the internet... nothing is happening - just cam and all... he doesnt know this side of me... i feel guilty at times, but i just know that its him i love. Do i need to go to a psychiatrist?

gemini or not, are you seeking attention or something else you are not getting from your boyfriend? do you flirt with your bf on email or phone?  Guilt is a good indicator that may be you are doing something you shouldn't.  maybe you just like attention overall from your bf and the other guy.


During the winter Solstice, kids are off school, and most adults get off work early. However, for Ramadan and the two Eids that Muslims observe, the most you are alotted off is one or two days; some people don't even get to go off, so the holiday is spent at work. Thanks to people getting time off for Christmas and Hanukah, my uncle had to work during part of his break because some other guy bailed out his shift early for a relative that came to town a day early. So this uncle had to work Christmas & Eid, when he shoul have been off. I can't have a party or do anything big on the day of the holiday because a friend that lives far away, who was supposed to come, can't, because his dad, who's the only one who can drive down here, has to work. Someone show me some justice!!!

It comes down to the amount of people that comprise the United States. Jewish holiday of Hannakah is NOT an official US holiday nor is Kwanza or Solstice.\n\nReligions:   \nProtestant 52%, Roman Catholic 24%, Mormon 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 1%, other 10%, none 10% (2002 est.)  \n\nLess than 1% of the nation of Muslim and like the other 10% that are other, it is not enough to make a difference. If we were to celebrate every holiday from every religion from every nation almost every day of the year would be taken off.\n\nI do believe that individuals have the right to take time off (without pay) for the holidays they observe. I observe Ramadan and yes it is hard to get through a whole workday without a drop of water or a bite to eat and many Muslims do indeed take that whole month off of work.

Some how, I seem to have over developed my right side of my gluteus maximus.  I usually do lunges and squatts, so I don't get how my gluteus maximus got off balance...sculpting wise it just isn't right!!!\n\nHelp

Cut out the lunges with the right leg.  Try 1 legged squats.  Step ups with the left leg only.  Standing hip extension with a cable with the left leg.  1-legged leg press with the left.


Can you please tell me why we will not get the user chatrooms back?? and will it ever get back to normal??

With the internet being ever evolving, I highly doubt that things will ever return to the way they were.  I wish they had the user chatrooms too but aparently, someone in the office didnt like them.


i'm having trouble with the speed on my netscape internet service, it says to disconnect the netscape quick launch or disable. How do I disable it?

To disable the Netscape browser quick launch program:\n\n   1. Right-click on the Netscape browser icon Netscape Logo in the system tray; typically found on the lower right corner of the desktop near the clock.\n   2. Select "Disable Quick Launch"


It all depends on what you mean by "better." The officer corps are the managers of the military and are granted that rank by the President (at least indirectly). Usually they are better educated, normally requiring a college degree. Have completed some sort of military training such as Officer Candidate School, the Military Academy or ROTC. This is followed by several months, typically, of training in their branch of service. The pay for officers and the breadth of their responsibilities are normally greater than those of NCOs.\n\nIf the officers are the brains of the military, NCOs are the backbone. They are more specialized in their jobs and typically have less overall responsibility. However, they have worked up through the ranks and know how things work. For this reason, they supervise soldiers on a day-to-day basis to ensure objectives of 'management' are met.  They will typically have more experience than the newly commissioned lieutenant and the wise officer will solicit their input. Personally, I had more fun and a lot less politics as an NCO.\n\nAnother category, between NCO and Officer, is Warrant Officer. This is a highly specialized individual normally with expert technical skills but lacking a normal commission. Examples may include some pilots.  I haven't been one of these, but that seems the way to go ;-)

i have a bad habit of biting my nailss and ive tried really hard not to bite them but i just wont stop.

There's this nail polish that tastes really bad that is supposed to help you stop biting your nails. Or so that's what I hear. Well maybe you'd stop biting your nails if you painted them to make them look pretty. Maybe that'll help.


live on a paved city road full of potholes. the potholes are filled and the potholes get potholes and now it has damaged my car! we own our home and pay taxes!! we have complained and complained and complained. have lived her for 10yrs. have been told we aren't currently on the 'repave' plan. can anyone help, please!!!

Each state is different. And by the way, your property taxes don't pay for your roads!  Revenue comes from license plates fees, gas taxes, etc.\n\nThe city will only get involved if they have the funds and if they HAVE to.  \n\nI suggest that you contact the city board.  Sometimes management is unwilling to do something unless they get orders straight from the top.  If that doesn't work, strike up a letter campaign and let the local news know about it.  The one thing that THEY don't like is bad press.  But be prepared, they'll always claim lack of funds.  You can always file a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request against them to see if they really do have the funds or not.
