i was home schooled when i was younger,i want to do the  same with my child.we live in houston and after katrina,our schools are packed.\nthere are more options now for home school,i have also come across virtual online school.\n\ncan anyone recommend a particular school they like? we will be starting second grade.\ni know virtual school can not begin till 3rd grade...

I would not recommend virtual school - basically because this would in effect make your children nothing more than computer-based learners of other people's curriculum and that is what you are trying to avoid by home-schooling in the first place (all my humble opinion, of course.) \n\nI would recommend using a combination of curriculums and then following the guidelines in the book, "Bringing up Healthy Children"  -  it basically outlines the homeschooling to chores to playtime ratio as they get older.\n\n Next - I would take the time to evaluate each of your children's personal learning methods (ie.: a reader, a doer, a copier, etc. --- A reader prefers to study the question and all of the information given. A Doer prefers to learn by manipulating the question and the possible answers, a copier will combine reading and doing to attempt to re-create the answer given more closely. ) The previous is a good reason why you should at least try to develop your own curriculum to match your child's needs the best.\n\n I wish you the very best of luck in your homeschooling. Think about signing up with a homeschooling on-line co-op to ask questions along the way. Check out the National Home Education Network for a lot of great information. the web address is: http://www.nhen.org/


My 22 year old needs her car for work, it would cost her $18 a day in transport fees. We have tried for 6 weeks to obtain monies. We have gone to the media but no one cares.He can't be shamed! He has not returned one call. Going through the courts will take too long! He won't acknowledge we even exist! My daughter has been using my car but I now have two friends with cancer and need my car to take them to doctors and hospital visits.

Where is your proof? I don't think you have a chance without going to court and having proof.


i'm going with harold because he's extremely talented, and i think he will be more successful than tiffani and dave.

I hope Harold wins too.  He seems the most humble, talented and easy to get along with in a kitchen.  Tiffany's too mean and Dave gets too frazzled.  I like how Harold focuses on the food and not on all the personal stuff.


Brazil has a good chance but also Germany has a good chance so it's going to be an interesting world cup.


i am 14 yr old n want to become a vet n i want to start preparing for it as early as i can so plz help me.

1. In school take as much biology and science as you can\n2. Start volunteering at a local shelter or vets office as soon as you can (probably age 16) a majority of vet schools in the US want you to have a lot of experience with animals, volunteering at shelters is the best way to log many hours of 'official' animal time.\n3. Keep your grades in all subjects as high as possible, vet schools are more competitive than medical schools (because there are only 28 vet programs in the US and hundreds of med programs...)\n4. Love animals, that doesn't mean owning 25 dogs ;-)  become as active as you can and learn what you can before you get into vet school.\n5. College: You will want to take all of the biology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry that you can fit into your schedule.  Most schools don't have a specific 'pre-vet' program and you'll probably want to finish a Bachelor's degree in a biology, chemistry, or related field before you get into the post-grad veterinary program.\n7. Learn to work hard and study hard now... if you blow through your classes now you won't know what happened when you get into vet classes... make sure you can (even if you don't have to now) study for long periods and can work hard for what you want.  \n\nVet school is no joke, it's more competitive than med school, and when you are studying, it's nothing like High School or college level work...


Gold/Oil close to alltime highs.. should I wait or jump in?

No, it is not a good time, especially if you are not a professional.


hello there \ni have tried alots foolking for my secound half on match sites bu no luck........... so i wish to find her here from 28 to 40 years old and the other thing will talk about my personal e-mail is mohad2003@yahoo.com

STOP LOOKING... STOP YOU AT THIS POINT WILL TAKE ANYTHING THAT SHOWS INTREST STOP PLEASE.. FINDING YOUR SECOND HALF IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN CONTROLE.. JUST SIT BACK AND SMELL THE ROSES


We got a student loan back in 82 and the school was not waht they said it was,so we quit and an atterny(not just any atterny he became the Govener of New York sen t the school back then to return the money $5ooo. for me $5,000 for my wife now they show up again to collect the money how do I get them to stop,we can't have credit card's or any type of credit,the school was ordered to remitt the money back to the bank in 1982 ? but collection companyies keep after use some times it's $5000,and some times it's 20,000 I lived my whole life with out credit becuse of them I want to sue,how do I stop them I have the orriganal Atterny leters stateing to return the funds.Help

As some other people have mentioned, it was difficult to understand your question.  I think you said that you thought this matter was resolved in 1982 or 1983.  If the matter was resolved you can sue under the federal fair debt collection act.  I know others have mentioned that but I want you to know that you might be able to force the people who are contacting you to pay you money.  Another issue comes to my mind.  Most contracts can not be enforced if the matter isn't taken to court within six years of a party breaking the agreement.  There are a lot of rules about contracts and even more rules about student loans so you'll need an attorney to sort this matter out.  Good luck  \nBack to the writing issue.  You really should consider taking a writing class.  Your writing shows two things.  One, you have a lot to say and two, you not skilled in the art of writing. With so much to say you might find that you like the classes. Good luck with this too!


I never have been a faithful watcher but the WB had been promoting the finale sooo much that last night when I realized I didn't have anything else I really wanted to watch, I tuned in to see the finale.  Of course since I never saw it before, I had no idea who Sandy was or why she needed to talk to Simon.  Now I'm left massively curious!!

Here ya go....If ya didn't see the show and don't want to know, STOP READING HERE!!!!!\n\nDid Simon and Rose tie the knot? Was Rose pregnant? Did "7th Heaven" really sing its swan song Monday night? \n\nStop reading if you don't want to know. \n\nNow for the answers. No (though the upshot of the wedding wasn't divulged until the show's closing moments). No (though we had feared she was). And yes, it really was the last episode (however much its fans hoped the series would get a reprieve). \n\nAfter 10 seasons of the gentle family drama about the Rev. Eric Camden, wife Annie and a passel of kids growing up before our eyes, "7th Heaven" said goodbye for good. \n\nFor viewers hung up on such things (and a weekly average 5.2 million "7th Heaven" viewers obviously were), the question of whether college student Simon Camden would end up married to his equally immature and unsure fiancee Rose had been unsettled all season. \n\n"I love Rose, but...," stammered Simon (David Gallagher) to a couple of his siblings halfway through the finale, with the nuptials looming the next day. Gulp. \n\nEven Simon's supportive, loving parents (played by series stars Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks) weren't so sure it was a good idea. \n\n"I don't think Simon brings out the best in Rose, and I don't think Rose brings out the best in Simon," the Rev. Camden worried. "And I think that is, or should be, a determining factor in whether two people get married." \n\nOn last week's episode there were even suspicions voiced that Rose was pretending to be pregnant to pressure Simon into going through with the marriage. But all that was a false alarm. \n\nMonday night, the wedding ceremony, after so much build up, wasn't seen by viewers. \n\nIn fact, it didn't happen. \n\n"We never even got into the church. We just couldn't do it. It wasn't right," Simon told one latecomer to the reception, where everyone seemed in wonderful spirits and quite relieved by the outcome. \n\nAdding to the good cheer: Son Matt (departed original cast member Barry Watson, making a guest appearance) and his wife Sarah announced they are having twin boys. \n\nPregnant daughter Lucy and her husband Kevin chimed in to say they're expecting twin boys, too. \n\nAnd, not to be outdone, daughter Mary (departed regular Jessica Biel, also back for the episode) and Carlos, reunited after a marital split, had their own scoop: They are expecting twin girls. \n\nThus did life promise to go on happily, if full of challenges, for the growing Camden family, just as it had since "7th Heaven" first aired in August 1996. The only difference in the future: It will unfold off-screen, in its fans' imaginations.


well I still think about him and want him!! but we broke up. and I dont know, I thought he was the one. and its just really hard. what should i do?? thx soo much. all your advice is greatly appreciated.


It was the funniest thing ever I went to see it live in Manchester.

I didn't know he had an opera! People find offense in almost everything, so just ignore it. If you enjoyed it that's all that matters.


but my mother has sychological disease. she does not have any hope about her future and also about my future too.she is very willing to speak and go out  with me   but i do not want to rely on her and can not bear being with her because most of time I get angry .Is it good to continue reling on her ?

You should not rely on your mother and your mother should not rely on you, it seems like both of you need help.  You have made the first step you have asked for help, but now you need to ask the right person, go see your doctor, he/she will be able to put you in touch with the right person, good luck

Hello,\n\nI am almost finished with my history paper. It is twenty pageg long, but its lacking some serious appeal. We were encouraged to use pictures. How would I include these without being sued? Could I just put them all in the back of the paper?

MLA) How do I cite an image, photograph or work of art?\n\n\nPrint\n\nSave to list\n\nE-mail\n\nSubscribe\n\nIf you are citing an image within an online image database (e.g., Corbis, American Memory), where the image is not retrieved as part of a publication (like an online newspaper or magazine), use the "Painting, Sculpture or Photograph" citation form, select "online" as the publication medium, and then indicate whether the photograph is a work of art (the original appears in a museum or collection) or if it is a documentary photograph (usually attributed to a separate copyright holder). An image may appear within a Web site like Corbis or Getty Images (give "Corbis" or "Getty Images" as the name of the Web site and provide a link to the photograph preview when possible). If the image appears on a Web page that is not part of a larger image database and you did not read or use the other material on that Web page, you can cite the image separately as described above. If you did make use of other material on the Web page, cite the Web page as a whole in your Works Cited list and then refer to the specific image in-text.\n\nTo cite an image from the AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive database, please click here for instructions specific to that database (if you want to create a citation that matches the example citation given by that database).\n\nIf you are citing the original painting, sculpture, or photograph, use the "Painting, Sculpture or Photograph" citation form. You will be asked for information on where that artwork is housed (e.g. a museum or the name or owner of a private collection).\n\nIf you are citing a reproduction of an original work of art in a secondary source, you can either (a) select the type of publication (e.g. book, magazine) and choose "A photograph of a work of art" when asked what specific content you are citing, or (b) select "Painting, Sculpture or Photograph" as the citation type, identify the secondary source type on the following screen under "But your source may also be..." and then choose "A photograph of a work of art" when asked about the specific content type. If you are not sure if this is a reproduction of an original artwork, check the picture's caption for an artist's name or copyright owner (e.g. Getty Images), and other copyright information such as the size of the original artwork.\n\nIf you are citing an image, illustration, or documentary photograph that is attributed to a separate copyright holder and appears within a book or periodical (for example, a photograph in a New York Times Online article that shows that Getty Images is the content provider), follow the directions above for a work of art in a secondary source but answer "A documentary photograph or illustration" to the question about what specific material you are citing. Note that if you use content from the article in the periodical or section of the book as well as the image itself, you should cite the entire article or section in your Works Cited list, and then refer to the image in-text if necessary.\n\nIf you use an image, photograph or illustration created for and original to a book, magazine or other publication, then we recommend* that you cite the publication and refer to the image in a parenthetical reference. An example is an illustration in a picture book or a photograph taken by the author of a magazine article. *This case is not specifically covered in the MLA Handbook.\n\nIf you are citing a photograph that you took yourself follow the format below(note that this is not currently an available citation type in NoodleBib):\n\n[Subject of photo].

After all, in Genesis, there is reference to the Nephilim, the Sons of God, who came down from Heaven and bred women. If you have a literal, word-for-word interpretation of the Bible, how do you reconcile the Nephilim with Jesus Christ who is later termed to be the only Son of God?

In fact Bible has got Sons of God in Tons, here are few examples...

I am reading a book and it says they were found "in flagrante delicto". I"m pretty sure it is sexual...I'm just not sure what it exactly means. Could someone please help?

"As the crime is burning" or on fire. It means getting caught red-handed. Medieval Latin.\n\nUPDATE: It is not necessarily associated with sex.


there is this boy i like. firstof all he was single, then he went out with one of my best friends, then he dumped her.how can i get to know wether or not he likes me?he's been really kind to me lately!does this mean anything?

this boy sounds like he doesn't like you. why would he go out with your friend if he knew you liked him and liked you too?


Who was your favorite one to sing " He'll Have To Go".  i heard Skeeter David sang it too?

The machine does not use remote mail. I recently reached the 2gb limit on the mailbox and had to run some software to shave it down.

Yes, your machine does use remote mail. It's obvious you are using MAPI. MAPI leaves messages on the server. That's why you hit your limit.\n\nWithout seeing the specific error message you are getting, I can only venture a guess here, but you are probably being told by Outlook that if you cannot move a message from the Sent Items box to a folder that does not have a corresponding MAPI folder entry.\n\nIt is also possible you are working offline when attempting to move your items, so the folder cannot be updated on the remote server.\n\nAgain, post the actual error message you get and I can provide an actual cause for the error.\n\nUPDATE:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B196864

How would you like to be addressed as a group of women?

In a group setting ladies is not offensive.  Being called "The Old Lady" is.  It is a matter of showing respect, something there is precious little of these days.

plants use the sunlight to turn nutrients into sugars to feed the plant they also take the toxins away from the plant when they go brown and drop off. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are released from them.

Maybe she really is interested. Hang in there and see where it goes. You might be surprised. Have a little faith in yourself.


I am refering specifically to the realm of medicine. I've seen a person who wears glasses talk about letting God decide regarding the course of her son's cancer. If she let God decide, she wouldn't wear glasses because God decided for her to be nearsighted. It just seems to me that argument is used selectively to the advantage of people. If there is someone out there that thinks "let God decide" and doesn't wear clothes or take any medication of any kind or drive a car to alter the will of God, I would like to know. It doesn't make sense that chemotherapy is against the will of God, but more common human-altering technologies are not.

I think, and you can underline the words "I think", that its because people fear to take responsibility for their actions. So they conveniently place the issue in God's hands thus relieving themselves of having to take responsibility for the outcome. Like chemotherapy in your example. It doesn't always work. What then? Does the mother go around asking herself "Why did I put him through all that? He died in greater pain and it took longer and etc. and its all because I decided to ..." See what I mean? Its easier for people to let themselves off the hook. Makes it simpler latter too. God makes a good fall guy. He almost never takes up for himself. :-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~"

The visible universe has 5 dimensions-four spatial dimensions plus time, compared with the four dimensions-three spatial, plus time, laid out in the General heory of Relativity. What's your take on all this?

Is our universe in another universe?\n  \nBefore we can address that question, we must first define universe.  \n\nThe word universe denotes all space and everything (matter, energy) contained within it.  The prefix uni means one.  The root verse means word, carnate message, meaningful substance, matter.  Questions regarding our universe persist today.  Does it have a beginning and end, or does it go on forever and ever?  Is it linear or curved?  If it has limits of length or curvature, then what lies beyond the Universe?  If something lies beyond the Universe, then can’t we accurately call that the Universe?\n\nSome lay people and some scientists conceive of the universe as infinite space.  Others define the universe as finite, or limited (perhaps curved), space.  Still others incorporate the elements of matter and/or energy into their definition of the universe, as opposed to the space beyond matter and energy.\n\nGiven these concepts of our universe, some scientists conclude that the “totality of space could be infinite. Shrink an infinite space by an arbitrary amount, and it is still infinite. (Scientific American March 2005).”  \n\nAs to the notion that we live in an ever expanding universe, moving away from every other universe on the fabric of space-time, some scientists are careful to point out that “\nAndromeda, our nearest large galactic neighbor, is actually moving toward us, not away. Such exceptions arise because Hubble's law describes only the average behavior of galaxies (Scientific American March 2005).”\n\nIn accordance with your supposition that our universe is in another universe, “it has been hypothesized by some scientists that the universe may be part of a system of many other universes, known as the multiverse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe).” Modern astrophysicists talk about multiple "pocket" universes that branch off from one another.  Stephen Hawking points out that parallel pocket universes can have no effect on a real observer inside a single pocket, so, according to Hawking, they are theoretical baggage that should be eliminated from cosmology, the study of the origins of the universe.\n\nSome string theories define the universe as a three-dimensional space in an invisible space having more dimensions. This is, in essence, a universe within a universe.  Our zone, a “braneworld” could periodically bounce into another parallel braneworld.  This may create what would appear as a Big Bang from one perspective or a Big Bounce of alternating expanding and contracting universe from another perspective.  Such a cataclysmic event is thought to occur 300 billion years from now, resulting in the rearranging and creation of a new universe.\n\nIs our universe inside another universe?  Well, apparently the Men in Black had it right.  Our universe seems to be inside of something else, another universe, called the multiverse.\n\nSteve\n:-D

I'm in a very deep Yahoo league (18 teams) with some friends and I drafted Pujols with the first pick. My pitching is solid but my OF kind of stinks. I've been offered Mark Teixeira and Carlos Lee for Pujols and Brad Hawpe. Is it enough?

Honestly, and I don't say this much about Pujols, but yes. Does the team who offered that to you have Matt Holliday? If he/she does, then take it. Holliday will drive in 120 runs and hit 35 homers, and you know what the other guys will do. That is as very fair trade, because it is upgrading your entire team. having a poor OF sucks, and can cause lost points.However, if they can't accept a trade which would bring YOU 3 players, and they get ONLY Pujols, don't do it.

do they evaporate through sweat? or transfer to another part of the body? or what?

pounds are a form of measurment, their not a thing that can move. when you loose weight, sweat resets ur systems. its good for you and cools you down when you exercise. when you exercise your fat turns INTO muscle. so it doesnt go anywhere really. it turns into something new and healthy\nhope i helped :)


Well, I have a project to do for math. And I want mines to be different from everyone elses. And I was thinking of doing my project based on the grading system. Does anyone know the history of the grading system? or at least know how they came up with it? \n\nif you know, please leave a link to the website.\n\nthanks.

Woah!  Now THAT is a good question!  Having been on an exchange to the UK, I learned that there are muliple grading systems out there.  We also have multiple educational paradigms that likewise impact grading: German, British, and American.\n\nIn the German system, research is key.  Part ancient and part very new, research projects with verification might be a grading system.  Grades may be on percentages or pass rates.\n\nThe British system is about leadership and being well-rounded, hence the liberal arts requirements.  The grading system tends to reflect the idea that it is impossible to satisfy everyone, hence there may be a % system, but 100% is virtually impossible to achieve.\n\nThe American system is vocational.  The assumption is that you are preparing to work and be good at doing what you're told.  You can easily get 100% on your tests and some people feel bad if they get less than an A.  Course results are graded like produce - with letter grades that are relatively meaningless outside of the person GIVING the grade.  Despite being one of the better educational systems in the world, the grading system is actually somewhat intellectually insulting.\n\nSO WHY?\n\nOk, at some point (I'm not sure exactly when) education started to standardize.  The percentage and letter grade systems exist to get quantitative data on student work - averages, means, variance, etc.  This then gives the institutions feedback on their own performance and that of their students and instructors, evaluate, make changes, and compare themselves to other institutions.  Very likely this happened in the early 1900s when more people started attending college and things like IQ tests were just starting to be created - always at first as a form of exclusion... come to think of it, they are still used as a form of exclusion... at any rate, that would make a lot of sense.  I would expect that before the masses started taking an interest in education, let alone higher education, detailed written feedback and more personalized attention could have been afforded to a more affluent elite class that formed the limits of college enrollments...\n\nIs this a well-studied area?  I would expect so, but if you don't find much about it on "google scholar," then you might have yourself a book to write!  I'd like to read something like that myself!


Israel and Germany both require public service. Robert Heinlein, in "Starship Troopers" wrote about a society where all civilians with basic rights who wanted to become citizens with full rights (including free education) had to serve either in the military or civic areas for two years.\n\nI'm not proposing Heinlein's bifurcation of the masses, but would like to see what you think about mandatory public service for all U.S. citizens - either in the military, in civil defense, conservation (think CCC of the 1930s) or some form of outreach.

I think it's an excellent idea.  Public school don't teach what is expected of an employee in a work situation, nor do they teach the values that employees need to be able to succeed in a work situation.  Most young people fumble through their first few jobs until they learn what is expected of them.  Two years of community service would alleviate this very painful transition in the lives of young people and build confidence in them with employers.

It's something about the lyrics:\n\nShe finally said she loved me\nI wed her in a hurry\nNo more callers and I glowed with pride\nI'm dreaming\nI feel like screaming\nI won my woman just before she died\n\nToo cool.\n\nMan, now I've got to go dig that album out!


He or she can Not send you or give you the present on that same date, they can do it a day before or a day after.\n\nWhat would you prefer?

I would prefer the day before.  The day after, while nice, would feel like an afterthought, or kind of anticlimactic.


What is the age that a girl should start thinking about men?\nNow think about this. \nHow old was Mary the Mother of Jesus?\nHow old was Josef the earthly Father of Jesus?\nHow old is god?\nIf what everyone says is true then God is a Pedophile

Ok that’s a little weird. I want to truthfully answer your question even though you have attempted to set traps. You see age is not the issue you’re attempting to make it. In some countries the life expectancy of a man is under 45 years of age and in many places in the Bible we find that men in other areas have lived in excess 500 years. Certainly life and coupling practices are different under both circumstances. So while age and culture vary the truth you seek is at what age is a given woman old enough to make life impacting decisions on her own. We see that many cultural differences answer that differently how ever being a man who loved too early and now has daughters prone to make the same bad choices, I have found truth in the area of your interest and it is this. First a child must grow enough to read and write and think deep thoughts a child should then contemplate the great depths a life could travel and the results a life could feel because of choices made. A child should realize that there is a higher power and a help in the living of that life. That child should seek first that powerful assistant and His support. Seeking that first could not possibly cause you to miss the match that would have been known to you as the perfect match. However seeking Him first guarantees that when the time is right He will bring to you the one that is meant for you. A woman should wait until God makes the match so that she doesn’t ruin the perfect union with baggage left over from youthful mistakes and indiscretions based only on the physical urges children. You know in some countries adulthood is not recognized until a person reaches their 30’s Perfection does not play worldly games and does not make sence to mankind. Hope this helps,hang in there.

Although a great guitar player, Stevie Ray Vaughan's version is a little unfinished without the vocals.\n\nIn 1999, Concrete Blonde's Jim Mackey joined Los Illegals to do a hard rock flamanco version of this song, for the movie/cd - Searching For Jimi Hendrix; I saw Concrete Blonde and Los Illegals do this live on May 5 (Cinco De Mayo) and it was fantastic, and this is why it is my favorite version.\n\nSting does two versions of this song; one in English and one in Spanish, which is an honorable mention.


I be myself and no one likes me, i be fake and ppl are a little nicer but i hate the fact that i never do anything with ppl .

Dont change any thing about your self, Fake people are the worst. Are you in School? If so things get dif. when you get out of it. Just try and keep the friends you got, and get involved in activites (not in school ones).

Is it possible for a person, under the influence of cocaine & alcohol, to inhale fluid from the mouth totally into the lungs, stay conscious, verbalize and physically require restraint, then expire 30 mins. later, due to fluid in the lungs?

Alcohol and cocaine both depresses the respiratory drive and the person is prone to aspiration (getting food or fluid into the lungs). Cocaine also cause involuntary muscle contractions as well as myocardial infarction ( a heart attack). This is a simplified excerpt from emedicine which shows you that cocaine causes the following:\n\nA.Central nervous system and neuromuscular system\n   1. Headache: Cocaine use commonly results in headaches. Cocaine may trigger migraine headaches, but, most importantly, the headache may be secondary to complications of cocaine use such as strokes, subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, brain abscess, and vasculitis. \n\n2.Seizures: Cocaine-related seizures usually are due to a hyperadrenergic state and usually occur within 90 minutes of drug use but have been delayed for as long as 12 hours. \n\n3.Abnormal movements: A number of abnormal movement disorders have been observed with cocaine use. Patients may present with torticollis, trismus, dystonic reactions, and choreiform movements ("crack dancing"). While most of these are benign, abnormal contractions of the vocal cords and larynx result in laryngospasm, which may be severe enough to cause airway obstruction and suffocation.\n\n4. Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting commonly are due to stimulation of the vomiting center of the brain and usually are self-limited.\n\n5.Anxiety: Anxiety and restlessness are common manifestations of cocaine toxicity and are due to the sympathomimetic effect of cocaine on the brain.\n\nB.Cardiac\n1.Chest pain: Chest pain is the most frequent cocaine-related complaint and constitutes approximately 40% of cocaine-related emergency department visits. Chest pain following cocaine use may be due to a number of causes, including those directly attributable to the effects of cocaine, such as myocardial infarction and aortic dissection, and causes due to complications of the route of administration. For example, inhalation of cocaine, resulting in pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax, and intravenous injection, resulting in septic emboli, may all present with chest pain and other cardiopulmonary symptoms.\nCocaine-associated myocardial infarction may occur in as many as 31% of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain following cocaine use. The pain is described as substernal pressurelike discomfort and is associated with shortness of breath and diaphoresis. Patients who are affected usually are young males (aged 19-40 y) who smoke cigarettes and repetitively use cocaine. \n\nC. Respiratory: Shortness of breath, like chest pain, is a frequent complaint bringing patients using cocaine to the emergency department and may be due to a number of cardiopulmonary processes. Cocaine smoking is associated with acute exacerbations of asthma, bronchiolitis obliterans, cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary vascular hypertension, pulmonary hemorrhage, thermal injury to the airway, pneumothorax, and significant impairment of the diffusing capacity of the lung. Shortness of breath also may be due to cocaine-induced laryngospasm. Inhalation of cocaine may result in pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax.\n\nD.Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain following cocaine use should raise suspicion of ischemic bowel; bowel perforation; and, in the smuggler, bowel obstruction. . \n\nE. Skeletal muscle: Cocaine use can lead to rhabdomyolysis, which may or may not be associated with hyperthermia, seizures, or agitation.


Differences between career, job and profession?\nHow do college students do their career planning?

A job is something you get paid for like cleaner/janitor, postman, sales assistant usually on the job training. A career is like modeling, photographer, beauty therapist with training at an educational facility not necessarily University in Australia we have institutions called TAFE and a profession is like teaching, doctor etc which requires serious university courses.When you get to college I would imagine that there is a careers adviser who will look at your interests, learning style and aptitude and make some suggestions. Based on this advice you can chose courses of study so you do what you want to do.


Well I have this guy friend who has been flirting with me for a couple weeks and we keep getting to be better friends but he already has a gf. The only thing is that I don't think he likes his gf anymore and I don't know how to find out because I really like him and don't want to ruin our friendship that might develope into something more soon. PLEASE HELP!!!

well u shuld ask u'r friendz if they kno and if they don't then ask him u'r self. if he says yes, just say "oh i didn't kno" or somethin' lyk that. if he says no then ask him out u'r self or get a friend to do it for you. it's not that hard, expecially if u kno he lyks u bak.


At MyFico site, they claim that the median/average fico score is 723. Could that be correct? I personally think that it is around 670. What are your opinions?

Anything above 750 is considered good.\nAnything over 800 is EXCELLENT!\n\n723 is average---god job!


I've been watchin' the series since 1999. Until recently the last episode I watched was the last episode they aired on Sci-Fi. But I heard they're going to continue the conclusion of the last season on June 2nd. Is this correct? Also, let me know what you think will happen.

I love Stargate, it one of my favorite shows (and I'm told I'm a bit too obsessed), but the season premiere will be on July 14 if you live in the U.S. Anyway, I'm sure they are going to find a way to get rid of the Ori (like they always do), but I also think they might kill someone off as well; however, I think it will be a more minor character. The beginning of next season will also show them searching for the Ancient weapon that is capable of destroying ascended beings, and form what I've read, Ba'al is also going to be looking for this weapon. All in all, I'm really looking forward to another great season of SG-1, and I certainly hope it will last for many more years to come.\n\nhttp://timeguardian.proboards76.com/

Ive been married for 3 yrs We have three children. We kind of fell into our relationship while i was pregnant with his best friends baby. After his freind left me with a baby at 17 my husband stepped in and took care of us. At the time i knew i didnt love him. but i was scared. now i've meet up with an old boyfreind that i have always loved. we have become really good freinds. yet i don't want to hurt my husband he was there for me when noone else was. im only 22 i feel like im traped and it's putting a strain on us we cant talk now with out fighting. what do i do stay for him and the kids or leave for myself. im torn.

This is a situation that takes lots of time and consideration. I know what you mean I'm in the same boat. I'm 23 with 2 kids and I love my husband dearly, but there is one old boyfriend who makes my heart skip a beat but I know that we weren't meant for each other or things would have happened differently. You love your husband, if you didn't you would've left him by now. The only thing that's different now is the new guy. My advice to you is not to tear up a family of 3 years just because the grass looks greener on the other side, because it never is! Women are hopeless romantics and we would do almost anything to be swept off our feet and ride off into the sunset with prince charming on his white horse. But if you were to leave this man of 3 years what would be different with the new one? Three years from now will be the same story. You have to learn how to make things in your current relationship stay fresh and vibrant. You have to keep the flame burning. When a fire starts to die you just add more wood. Not wait till it burns out and then start a new one. Trust me, if both of you work at it and you keep open and honest communication between you and your spouse you will have a relationship that is almost unheard of now a days!


maybe GOD is a hermaphrodite? I'm serious.

Jehovah God is a spirit being and as such has no gender,and as such rules out physical likeness between God and man.Rather,man has qualities reflecting or mirroring,those of his heavenly Maker.Qualities that positively distinguish man from the animal creation.


Are you supposed to shave your stomach or Wax it? Wich one works better?

If you don't have any thick hairs don't do anything.If for some reason you have had surgery and were shaved then you probably want to do something.Waxing lasts longer but it hurts much more.You can shave it if you use a shave gel or something to ease the skin tenderness.Just remember once you start shaving or waxing you will have to keep it up if you want to show your stomach.


I WISH ALL THIS PAIN AND TRAGEDY OF\nHUMAN COST CAN GO AWAY.

I know it's weird, but I am grossed out and terrified by (at the same time) fish. I don't like how they move, how they look, how they smell... I don't swim in lakes or in the ocean beacause I don't want them near me. \n\nI also don't like to eat fish. Is this normal?

I know it might sound a little extreme, but talking to a therapist might help you to understand what causes phobias and why you feel this way, which would make it a lot easier to confront. Hypnotherapy is supposed to be very good, and a therapist would probably be able to refer you to a reputable one.\n\nThe important thing to remember not to feel stupid about your phobia, everyone feels differently about things for a reason, the best thing you can do would be to work out what that reason is, and to try and confront it.\n\nHowever, you will need to take this slowly, don't just jump in a pond full of fish as some people have suggested because this will probably just make your fear worse.Maybe start by watching some fish in a friends tank? then perhaps progress to visiting an aquariam? you wouldn't have to spend all day in there, half an hour would be enough to prove that you can face your fears. \nYou could also try looking at the fish counter at your local supermarket or grocery store, and eventually progress to buying some fish.You wouldn't have to eat the first time, just having the courage to buy the fish and take it home would be a good step.Have you considered trying to eat fish in an unrecognizable form? fishfingers neither look nor taste like fish.Tuna steaks are delicious grilled, and taste meaty, not like fish at all.I hope some of these suggestions help.\n\nSorry, have just read your update and i can see that you do like tuna.This is really good, it shows that you are already one step closer to overcoming your phobia.Just remember to believe in yourself!

Me and my boyfriend have been fighting so much lately about everything.I'm really getting sick of it.How can I tell him this shit needs to quit and make up?It seems like everything I do is wrong.

Just be honest and tell him how you feel. Be alone with him and tell him that you really love him and don't want to loose him. Ask him to forgive you and to try to leave it all behind and start over but this time instead of fighting, you guys need to learn to communicate and take things slowly. Don't jump into conclusions because that just makes arguments. Remember communication and trust are the key things to a communication. Trust in him and be honest about how you feel. It will be okay. All couples go through this don't' take it to harsh.

Have you ever noticed that the most annoying people of any group are the ones with the loudest voices? The annoying Muslims are those tying bombs to their bodies, the most annoying Christians are those who send everyone to hell except themselves and those who think exactly like them, the annoying Atheists are the ones use all caps on message boards with profound thoughts like "GOD IS NOT REEL CUZ I'M 15 AND NO EVERTHING!!!!11" the annoying homosexuals are the ones who have to have the rediculous parades and flaunt their private lives.... I guess there is truth to 1 Cor 13 when Paul says "I can speak in tongues of men and angels but if I have not love, its like a clanging bell or resounding cymbal" \n\nDo you think if we listened to more "still small voices" we would learn a lot more about other groups?

i am the owner of a thriving small scale business, in the last 2 months i've had to fire 3 workers for stealing, what makes ppl behave this way, if i was working for someone, i can't imagine myself stealing from my boss or in my place of work, is it that they have low self esteem or is it plain poverty, i pay them quite well for the work they do...i'd really like to know what goes on in the mind of a thief and why they do the things they do

I have read that the O-rank is someone's preseason prediction of how a player will preform. While rank is how they actually do that season. So I was under the impression that the O-rank would stay the same and not change. While rank of course would go up and down during the season based on a player's preformance. But I have noticed that for some of my players, their O-rank has fluctuated. Is this right? Or is it maybe just a glitch with Yahoo?

O-Rank changes.  This is from Yahoo!:\n\nO-Rank: Player's overall Yahoo! Sports ranking (based on current and prior seasons).\n\nRank: Player's ranking based on stat filter selected.


I have the choice of reading an extra book this year for school, writing a book report on it, and getting extra credit in English, History, and Civics classes.  Sounds great, but I dont think I can finish the book and write a report by Friday!  Should I use SparkNotes?  It just kinda seems like cheating to me, especially since the reading is optional.\nThanks!

My suggestion would be to read spark-notes through a few times; and then find key sections in the book-and read those. I think sparknotes is a great tool; and it has helped me get through quite a few unbearable books in the past years. I think it'll definately be worth it to do the report-since it's effecting three different classes; which could really help out your grades.\n\nAnd just out of curiosity...what book is it that is assigned?

Israel and Appartheid South-Africa tested and traded weapons (including Nuclear and Chemical Weapons), when South Africa was during the height of Appartheid. I therefor asume as a South African that Israel did indeed support the Appartheid government. I could be wrong, maybe Israel was just trading with South-Africa at the time, but I feel if you help a country to arm itself against the masses you did support the system of oppresion. I would like to know what was Israel stance towards South-Africa At the time.

Israel had many ties with South Africa well before the UN sanctions against apartheid were put into effect, but it did continue to trade with South Africa in violation of the embargoes. They do oppose UN embargoes in general however and also eventually reduced their military support of South Africa at the request of the US.

can someone please help me to get the answer.. job interview question for a Banking/Share Registrars company.. it would be very kind

The reason they are asking these questions is to get personal responses.  Have you been at a job before where changes were occurring?  Then tell this story to the interviewer.  Is this your first job out of college?  Then use a situation that happened in a class or some extracurricular.\n\nThey are probably looking to see that you are flexible and handle change well.  Make sure you show interaction with colleagues so they see that you work through this with others.\n\nGood luck on the job!

I have some problem areas - my stomach for example (fat). I am not overweight though. I do cardio and weights, do a lot of aerobics. \nWhat should I eat, I have no idea...

Try and eliminate all refined sugar from your diet.  Soda's, cookies candy etc..  Eat less processed foods and stick with simple foods with no sauces.  Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.\nLastly, try interval cardio training.  If your walking trying adding in running.  If your running add in sprinting into your workout sessions.


On the day of 9-5-04 I fell about 40' in a grain bin and I brock bolth jaws , wrist , a timple ,and my leg.

Lets see:  I was in a near fatal car accident; have had 16 surgeries and artificial knee, hip, arm; not to mention all of the internal injuries.  Last summer, I floated for 6.5 hours in flood waters of Hurricane Katrina and lost everything we had...I mean everything.  We came away with a change of clothes and a loaf of bread.\n\nHearing other sob stories is not productive.  You know, there is always someone somewhere who is worse off than you, or has had more trauma than you have.  We have to learn to deal with what has been given to us and count our blessings every day.  I thank God for every breath, every nut and bolt holding me together, and for saving my family during the hurricane.  We are truly blessed!  Hope you are too!

The Air Ways Helicopter Company is planning to produce its latest model, the Sir Star. After extensive research, the company has determined that it will cost $11 million to produce the first one. This amount includes the cost of setteing up the factory and the machinery After that, each additional helicopter will cost $3 million to produce.\n\nHow much money will the company need to build the helicopters?\n\nHow many helicopters can it build for $47 million? \n\nIf the company charges $5.5 million for each helicopter, how many must it sell before making a profit?\n\nMake sure to add how you got the answer and what steps it took to get that answer.

47million would be enough for\n\nhelicopter 1 costing 11 million\nleaving 36 million which would be enough for another 12 helicopters at 3 million each.\n\nso 13 helicopters in all for your 47 million outlay\n\nif the helicopters were being sold for 5.5 million each\n\nwe can take it case by case\n\none helicopter costs 11 million and sold for 5.5 million - total - 5.5 million\n\ntwo helicopters costing at (11+3=14) million and sold for 11 million = a loss of 3 million\n\nthree helicopters costing (11+ 2x3= 17)million and sold for 3x5.5 million IE 16.5 million so producing a loss of half a million\n\n4 helicopters costing (11 + 3x3 = 20 million) and sold for 4 x 5.5 million = 22 million and hence a PROFIT of 2 million\n\nso the answer is 4 helicopters to make a profit\n\nalternatively (not sure if we need to take the overall 47 million into account) we can list it as follows\n\n47/5.5 gives us a minimum of 8 needed to recoup our monies entirely with the remaining 5 helicopters giving us pure profit

Yes I agree. She's definitely over rated I have to say that she's not even that good an actress. Most of her movies are crappy. I know she's been helping people in the third world countries and everything but I just don't like the fact that she's a home wrecker. She goes round sleeping with other people's husbands. God knows how many people she's slept with.


I am moving into an apartment in August and I need a job where I can make at least $500 dollars a month. Does anyone know what I can do? Any suggestions?

While I despise Starbucks personally they are often hiring; and if not them try an independent coffee house.  The skills you learn there will give you a fall back position for years ahead.  Most likely you will get 20 hours per week and earn just over $500 a month; but you also earn tips and might be able to pick up more hours in the near future after you are trained.

im having sex with this boy but im married wat do i tell my boyfriend cause i want to break up with him

I think you owe it both your husband and your boyfriend. When telling your husband, tell him exactly what was missing in your relationship that made you turn to another guy. Tell him that you are willing to seek marital counseling.\n\nAs far as your boyfriend, tell him that you have to cut ties with him. Tell him that your marriage is more important to you than being with him.


% of recessive part in a large populations is found to be 16% .the frequency of dominant allele in that populalation is?

It depends if 16% is the frequency of the recessive allele (q) or if 16% is the frequency of the population with the recessive trait (q^2)\n\nif q= 0.16 then p= 1-q= 1-0.16= 0.84 like seamonkey says \n\nhowever,\nif q^2= 0.16, then q= 0.4 and p= 0.6

My code is making this symbol:  Â   Whenever I do a space, it does that.  I am using a WYSIWYG editor, and just type whatever I want right into it.  But it keeps doing this: Â After a space.  It doesn't show it right away, only when I save the file.  Could someone please explain to me why it is doing that and how to fix it by using code or something?  Thanks!

Is it illegal for me to sign my mother's checks with her permission? I signed a cosigned check because its hard for my mother and I to meet up sometimes. I WAS done with her approval and she was aware as well as the bank. Well the bank told me that it was illegal to do such a thing. But I was told that it is legal under her consent. They have all the right to verify if they thought it would have been a problem or fraud. I told them that I had her consent to do so. They also have the ability to verify funds as well as the cosigner information. Eventually, the check was deposited anyway so it could not have been that much of an illegal issue right?? Please get back with me, and please only if you know the true answer. I dont need any guesses for this one. Thanks\nPEACE

Unless you mom has given you legal power of attorney, you can not legally sign her name.  You can have her make an X if she can no longer sign and witness her mark.\n\nIf you need to, it is easy to get appointed power of attorney to sign for her.


Assuming you get accepted. Also, what is "Law General" mean?  Is it just basic legal stuff? What is the best type of legal specialty to get into ? Law General, Corporate and Banking and Finance, or Intellectual Property ?

You need to take the LSAT get accepted to a Law School.  Three years later if you graduate you can take the bar exam for your state if it has a bar exam and then you can make just enough to pay off your loans for the next five years.  "Law General" is what most states have but some do offer a legal "specialization".  The best type of law is the type that you are best at or enjoy the most.  My wife does Real Estate because she enjoys it and is good at it.  I do Civil Rights because I enjoy it and am good at it.  It is a personal choice for you to make.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H. Smith


Im clean.. ok... i will not give to her oral sex, bout she got HIV and she give me oral sex, i get infected? i will never do her!

Yes there is a possibility but it is very small becuase you can not tranmit hiv through saliva so the first thing that wouldneed to happen for you to get infected is that she would have to have an open wound infection or cut of any kind in her mouth there are however several other stds that are easy to transmit through oral sex so it is allways a good idea to use a condom


I need to know some facts and push in pull factors the religion a little info about there government how they lived

can you a little more clear plz. I am an Indian and I know a lot about India .. May be I can help you but did not get your question .. what is it exactly you are looking for about religion or Government ... or ???\n\nABout India is that the people are very nice in India ... there are more than 50 religions and more than 500 languages in India and if you go into one town you will find almost every religion and language and love among them... people don't care about religion and language ,, they care about LOve and habits of others. People welcome even strangers into their homes because it is Indian saying that GUESTS ARE LIKE GOD and they should be respected ......\nIndia is a beautiful country but the Government is corrupted. they is lot of corruption in government offices but the current Indian Prime minister is very honest and hard working man. Official works in India are done very slowly and only with bribes.... OTHERWISE I love India because of the friendly people.


Which are the best, and help the most people ... what do they do and where do they help?\n\nWhich are the worst, and what make them the worst?

The worst Christian community shouldn't exist. That's an oxymoron. The very definition of a Christian community is one that acts with the values of Christ. If a community acts in a way that's not similar to Jesus' intention and love, it shouldn't be called Christian.\n\nLots of Christian communities claim to be the best or the most active, yet others claim a more historical claim to legitimacy. Look over the histories of various churches and decide on what you think has a more legitimate claim to represent Christ's body on Earth.\n\nI'm a Roman Catholic and I know the Church does a lot worldwide to help people living in poverty. It sends missionaries and aid to communities who need it. It's consistent in its teachings concerning morality. Do some research and if you decide that may be a community you're interested in, you can always visit the nearest Catholic Church in your area. There's bound to be one close by.


Naomi watts or naomi campbell?\nthank you

Naomi Watts would be nice but I think my choice would be Natalie Portman, a true combination of beauty and brains.


yes i know this is the baseball category i'd like to see what the studs have to say about going out to bars w/their guy friends...and how they really act away from their gf's

I've worked in bars for about 10 years, since i was in college, the stories i have are unbelievable. The drunk people alon, the stuff that they do or say is just donw right funny. The people we catch in the bathrooms doing you know up against the urinals, disgusting!! On the toilets, really disgusting!! The fights ive been in, the amounts of bones ive broken. The times ive been hit with sucker punches, tables, chairs, or bottles is too many. \n\nMy fav story is Tommy Hilfieger nephew comes to my club to promote the clothing line and his album. They gave out some clothing and tapes/Cd's of this kid. He performed on stage and just sucked!!!! Really bad!!! So everyone threw the tapes/cd's on stage along with the clothes they handed out. The kid started to cry on stage, then they started to make fun of him, then they wanted to kick his ass, lucky me was one of the bouncers who had to bring him through the club and back to his car outside, i took acouple tapes/cd's to the head. But it was funny!!\n\nI got plenty more too!!!

All children rebels prepare to face that, it doesn't matter if your a good mother that will happen.


I never been raped or anything like that before. i just fear men. i avoid doing things where i have to associate with men, like friends , doctors, and sitting next to them. When i am in public , if a male(adult) is near men i start getting nervous and scared. what should i do?

men think the same as anyone else. only a very small handful of them are rapists and such. you might be a lesbian.


Is there anyone that can recommend a supplement to help build body mass. That has worked for you or have heard of having good results.

do not take any growth hormones they really mess u up!!!! the only thing u should be taking is whey protein, casein protein at night, multivitamine (animalpac), flaxseed oil, and creatine ( drink more water though, it dehydrates u)....all of these things cobined with a good ass heavy lifting weight program and ur 5 to 6 meals a day and u will build quality muscles that will last u forever!!!!email me i u need anything else!!!


Got this chick who i ve been tryin to talk to but the words wont come out...

Well, it is hard to talk past those butterflies and the lump in your throat.  Calm down and take a breath....relax dude.  When you talk to her next time, try not to get all bent up about who you are talking to.  Pretend you are talking to your best friend, it will get easier from there.

he has alot of ringworms on the side of his body what home remedies can we use to kill them other than bleech and blue star ointment

Try using an athlete's foot cream. Any kind of anti-fungal cream will help get rid of them. Also, remember that ringworm is very contagious. Make sure that he is washiing and bleaching his sheets and washing all pillows. Spray a disinfectant on all your furniture as well. Watch yourself, you could get them too. If you have pets or children, make sure you look for ringworms on them as well :0) Good luck!

I am a beginner on compiler technique. I try to study it. But i have a problem to find info/document about symbols and the definition of CFG. As we know those notation should be write in yacc file. Anybody can tell me where it is?

I just finished a computer theory class, and during the term I bookmarked a few pages.  For context free grammers I liked the following pages:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-free_grammar\nhttp://www.laynetworks.com/Context%20Free%20Grammar.htm\n\nHope this helps, and is what you are looking for.


Maybe they already have and I haven't heard about it.  If that was a baby bump [now you see it now you don't] I'll eat a basketball.  I think the whole pregnancy thing was a big scam.  There had to be a surrogate father involved, as well as a surrogate mother.  That's if there WAS a baby!

i think its stupid when they merge the celebrities names together!! TOMKAT!!! BENNIFER!!! that;s really stupid!! wut if i merged my name with my ex boyfriends name it would turn out like this: Pedianna,or Bredo,or some other stupid shit!!


My son is 4 years old and NASCAR is his life, he wears the cap of which driver he is that day, makes you call him by that name plays NASCAR playstation games ALL day, he can name every driver by looking at the # and recognizes their names in books (he can't read) anyways I can tell he has a talent and I know he needs to get started YOUNG!! how do I get him in the NASCAR scene?? Please serious answers ONLY!!

wow!  your son really does have a lot of talent.  My stepdad was once a racer and almost got into NASCAR.  Here is how you do it:\nStart off by allowing him to race at small local events such as in racecarts, 4 wheelers, etc.  As he gets more experience, move him to more difficult situations such as a regional hotrod derby and other things that require more skill, etc.  Then, when he is 16, allow him to drive.  At this point, he could start driving like in actual car races.  As he moves up on the ladder of experience, make sure people notice him.  Put his picture in the newspaper, bring out a local news team, etc.  Get his face out to the public!  At one of his competitions, you should ask like one of the judges about getting into a NASCAR audition race (something like that for people who want to get into it) and then allow him to race in it.  If he's good enough at it, as I suspect he will be if you follow all of the above mentioned steps, he will surely get into it, and will start racing proffesionally.  Have fun!


lately I have been having small white ulcer in my mouth. It always appear only one at a time but when one cure another will appear at different part inside my mouth. Why? Now it has cured and no more but curious to know why it happened consecutively 3 times.

I get ulcers in my mouth. My doctor told me it's allergies. They gave me a great cure. I'v never had my ulcers feel better or go away quicker. It's stuff you can get over the counter. You mix Benidryl and Kaopectate and swish it around in your mouth then spit it out. :^)


If it meant sleeping for 48 hours at the end of it?

Uh no. I don't wanna see myself crash and burn.


...they can't remember anything from their last life, but I can't even remember anything from before i was 4 years old, does that mean I only received my soul when I was 4?

no..jus that at age 4 ur brain starts workin more and u remember more stuff becuz ur brain is maturing a lil.


i really dont think u read my ? my fiance DOESN'T KNOW these kids. n I AM the one who wants to get custody of his NONBIOLOGICAL kids.......y are u makin ME the bad person?????

I truely hope and pray you do and can get custody of the children. It sounds as if they will be lucky to have you in their life...............


It is a book written by author Dan Brown.  Churches are doing him a favor by publicizing a fictional story about a fictional story.


I want to be in a public cage fighting match, if only just once.  I've taken Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Grappling and Kick Boxing -- yeah, I'm not the best, but I'm pretty damn macho!  My current instructor tells me that "I would get worked." I'm 37 and want to do this before I get too old.  What should I do?

As you know age doesn't matter if your cardio is good and you can go the distance you shouldn't have a problem. Unfortunately you have to compete in tournaments weather it be mma or kick boxing but you will have to have a professional record  or some titles under your belt if you wish to get paid. If you are willing to fight for free go to one of the smaller shows there are usually heaps of fight promoters who would be willing to watch you fight for free in there gym. If you are good enough the might sign you up for a fight good luck.


i asked a lot of questions about gay-people here. i am a firm believer in the Power of Love,therefor i will always fight for any form Love between people who agree on that Love.\n\non my many questions i got a lot of answers stating 'there is no such thing as being born gay, because there is no proof of a gay-gen'\n\nim curious: Can anybody offer me proof of a hetero-sexual gen ?

No, they can't.  This is the wrong forum for this question.  Closed minds and open mouths are all you will get.  Love to them is closed-minded.  The church turned its back on me so I turned my back on the church.  If Christianity is the "true" religion, Jesus is weeping for it.\n\nI'm having trouble copying this person's hard-to-memorize nickname so here's what she wrote:\n\nyou know i was reading a study on fraternal twins (being one male and the other female) anyway it was found that they have a higher than normal likelihood of being gay or bisexual, it was thought to be because they were exposed to each others hormones in the womb... if that's the case you wouldn't be looking for a gene you would be looking for an event during the pregnancy which caused the baby to be exposed to a higher than normal level of estrogen or testosterone... \n\nActually, in Physiological Psychology class, we discussed a study on a nucleus of the hypothalamus that has a gender and a sexual orientation difference because exposure to hormones in the womb makes it larger.  In Women, the nucleus is smaller than men because women are not exposed to ANY hormones during pregnancy.  The area is MUCH larger in men because they are exposed to a LOT of hormones during pregnancy (I believe mainly estrogen and the testes convert that to testosterone or something like that, I don't have my notes with me at the time).  The same area of homosexual men are somewhat in between in size from men and women which would suggest a LOWER exposure to hormones in the womb.\n\nGod said he formed us while we were still in our mothers' womb didn't he?  Wouldn't that mean that if homosexuality is determined in the womb, that it is part of his plan?  \n\nI believe that in this day and age, as a believer in the migration of souls which have lessons to learn in each life, that homosexuals today are here to learn a lesson about hate and prejudice.  So I must thank Christians with open mouths and closed minds for making that lesson easier for me to learn.


Hello people.\n\nI had a dream that when ever I look at the clock, that each time I looked, it gave a different time.  After about 5 times of looking it suddenly spun out of control and went crazy.\n\nI know someone told me that they was in the staffroom where they sleep in at work (on shift work) and they saw a hole that was like a giant well in the middle of the floor.\n\nMy mother dreamt that she was on a glass heltascelter which has no sides and she was thousands of feet up in the air.\n\nTell me a wierd dream that you have had.

I was standing on a wodden box out in the front yard watching the sky start to swirl into purples and blues. I streached. No fear I streached up my arms and started to lift off the ground. Lots of wind blowing around every where. I believe I was controling this but not sure how.\nI felt very powerful but not an evil smug type.


Guys in the NFL use? Im looking for a complete type workout.  I will be trying out for Arena Leauge football team in november and need some exercises to get prepared/ready the more specific and detailed the better your chances for a best answer and the better ill do at tryouts! thank you for your help

It might be hard to find ex-nfl or current nfl players. I would suggest you to go to 24 hours fitness and you can hire a trainer there. I remember my friend, ex-nfl running back, worked out at 24 hours fitness and he had a trainer there. When you go there, keep working out. Second, focus on where you play as your position like running back or wide receiver. Otherwise, you can try out for Arena Football League2. Other league scout will watch how you play before offer you a tryout. Good luck.


wat are some signs of gettin near ur period or havinn ur period

Breaking out, cramps, moodiness. (At least that's me anyway)


the air bag ripped the skin off my nose. my chest is bruised. they thought my hand was broke but it wasn't. i have an eight month baby which wasn't with me but i wasn't able to care for her for a couple of days.

Thats a decision to be made with your lawyer. Usually, its how much you feel you should get to cover damages (to the car, and of course, yourself/medical bills) as well as the time away from your child, if you fell you can place a price on that. Your accident lawyer should help you set reasonable goals.

I've been  having problems with it too.  Took forever just to answer your question!  Thought it was my computer, internet or something.  Hmm?????????


Admit it there are you guys out there. No American Idol Sheep allowed on this question make up your own if you can. Which I doubt. This question is for Idol Haters like me.

I do! I mean who would want to see karaoke losers on T.V


i still love my b/f and no other the thing is that i met this attractive new guy he seems nice but now i don't know how to cut him off cause i wud'nt want to talk to him while involved with my b/f it may a conflict of interest where my b/f is concerned and i don't think i'd give him up for anybody else, but i don't know what to say to the new guy because he's interested in me

Just tell the new guy the truth.  That your sorry, but you and your ex expectantly got back together and that you hope he understands.  If he is a really nice guy he will wish you the best and everything will be cool.  These things happen sometimes.


The response is always the same - "The host 'SMTP' could not be found".  How do I get this to work ?

You need to change the entry for SMTP server to the correct server. It is not likely to be simply SMTP. Your ISP tech support should be able to provide you the correct information.


I love her utterly, i could talk to her 24/7. i get kinda sick like if i havnt talked to her or if she is late.\n\nshe says she could, but she takes naps when were talking so she signs off or hangs up. She acts distant sometimes.(and im 100% sure she aint cheating)\n\nwho's wrong here?

im in the same boot lol...who knows...maybe we r 2 much in love :)


we r in a huge fight.. i ended the friendship b/c she has beem going to dirty parties and drinking... i feel that i did the right thing b/c i dont wanna  be around that kinda stuff.. ya think i did the right thing

No friendship is supposed to be like a marriage for better or for worse  Have you brought it to her attentiopn that you are worried about her behavior?  Try an intervention with other friends and maybe someone fromher family.  You need to talk to her about what is bothering you in a nice way so she doesnt get offensive.  If you love her and value her talk to her


If you could travel back in time to the year 1800, what one modern convenience would you bring with you to best impact the lives of the people?

The Sponge!  And no, I'm not talking about the kind you wipe the counters with.\n\nOr the Pill.


my b/f of 12 yrs and i have had a great sexual relationship and often talk about our fantasies we are very opened minded but keep it in the bedroom untill recently we talked about taking it futher and acting out one in perticular without giving too much away i would like to know if we did what would happen to our relationship after and would he want to take things futher if he really enjoyed it could it be a one off or is it all a bit risky

It's a good question Helen. My wife and I are doing more sexually than ever before! Alot of it would depend on how much BOTH of you enjoy this new act! If you both enjoy it, you may want to take it another step. If one person wasn't so happy about it, I would sit down together and talk about it. Maybe you could try it one more time or maybe that is as far as it should go and not try it again!\nWe have done quite a few things, if you want to e-mail me I may be able to give you some more help.\nEither way, good luck!


The Forcefulness of Love \n\nRomeo and Juliet is the most famous love story in the English literary tradition. Love is naturally the play’s dominant and most important theme. The play focuses on romantic love, specifically the intense passion that springs up at first sight between Romeo and Juliet. In Romeo and Juliet, love is a violent, ecstatic, overpowering force that supersedes all other values, loyalties, and emotions. In the course of the play, the young lovers are driven to defy their entire social world: families (“Deny thy father and refuse thy name,” Juliet asks, “Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, / And I’ll no longer be a Capulet”); friends (Romeo abandons Mercutio and Benvolio after the feast in order to go to Juliet’s garden); and ruler (Romeo returns to Verona for Juliet’s sake after being exiled by the Prince on pain of death in II.i.76–78). Love is the overriding theme of the play, but a reader should always remember that Shakespeare is uninterested in portraying a prettied-up, dainty version of the emotion, the kind that bad poets write about, and whose bad poetry Romeo reads while pining for Rosaline. Love in Romeo and Juliet is a brutal, powerful emotion that captures individuals and catapults them against their world, and, at times, against themselves.\nThe powerful nature of love can be seen in the way it is described, or, more accurately, the way descriptions of it so consistently fail to capture its entirety. At times love is described in the terms of religion, as in the fourteen lines when Romeo and Juliet first meet. At others it is described as a sort of magic: “Alike bewitchèd by the charm of looks” (II.Prologue.6). Juliet, perhaps, most perfectly describes her love for Romeo by refusing to describe it: “But my true love is grown to such excess / I cannot sum up some of half my wealth” (III.i.33–34). Love, in other words, resists any single metaphor because it is too powerful to be so easily contained or understood.\nRomeo and Juliet does not make a specific moral statement about the relationships between love and society, religion, and family; rather, it portrays the chaos and passion of being in love, combining images of love, violence, death, religion, and family in an impressionistic rush leading to the play’s tragic conclusion.\n\n\n\n\nLove as a Cause of Violence\n \nThe themes of death and violence permeate Romeo and Juliet, and they are always connected to passion, whether that passion is love or hate. The connection between hate, violence, and death seems obvious. But the connection between love and violence requires further investigation.\nLove, in Romeo and Juliet, is a grand passion, and as such it is blinding; it can overwhelm a person as powerfully and completely as hate can. The passionate love between Romeo and Juliet is linked from the moment of its inception with death: Tybalt notices that Romeo has crashed the feast and determines to kill him just as Romeo catches sight of Juliet and falls instantly in love with her. From that point on, love seems to push the lovers closer to love and violence, not farther from it. Romeo and Juliet are plagued with thoughts of suicide, and a willingness to experience it: in Act III, scene iii, Romeo brandishes a knife in Friar Lawrence’s cell and threatens to kill himself after he has been banished from Verona and his love. Juliet also pulls a knife in order to take her own life in Friar Lawrence’s presence just three scenes later. After Capulet decides that Juliet will marry Paris, Juliet says, “If all else fail, myself have power to die” (III.v.242).

Even the judge was upset she had to rule in his favor, and hoped I would find a way out of it.


We have seen it many ways. Does anyone trust any of them? Even my local paper slants on issues. Is there one honest one that does not side and just reports? I would be interested.

i think cnn is the most unbiased, but i still read as much as i can about a certain story and try to find the truth on my own looking past all the media's slants


there is a check spelling button right up top of this screen.....why can't people use it?  Is our society so uneducated?

Get off your high horse...this is a forum for anyone who wants to participate in it, not just for smart people who proofread.  Misspelled words aren't necessarily a sign of poor education as much as laziness (not to suggest that laziness is any better).  Just get over it.
