Nothing Gold Can Stay \n\nNature’s first green is gold\nHer hardest hue to hold.\nHer early leaf’s a flower;\nBut only so an hour.\nThen, leaf subsides to leaf.\nSo Eden sank to grief,\nSo dawn goes down to day\n. Nothing gold can stay.

FIRST OFF...WHAT THE HECK IS THIS QUESTION DOING IN THE MATHEMATICS CATEGORY?!\n\ngold represents several things in this poem...\nfirst green is gold...(could be: first money (green) was based on gold, or could be that when trees sprout fresh (INNOCENT) leaves from branches they look tan/gold.)\nas autumn turns leaves to gold, they die and fall off...\nlight (as in golden sunlight) will always fall each day...\n\nbasically, it is saying that although gold (innocence) is the most precious commodity, you cannot hold onto it because it is always bound to go away...


In my mind i'm still as young as you are !

Nothing, it is an advantage as long as what you are seeking is someone who thinks young but is an old girl.


While presidents can exercise the veto to influence Congress, does the use of veto power signal executive weakness or undermine relations with Congress?

Usually members of congress will have a pretty good idea of whether or not the president will sign the bill into a law beforehand.  And sometimes congress passes a bill knowing it will get vetoed anyway.  Since the government is usually not unified (with a party in control of congress and the opposite party in control of the white house) vetoes will occur from time to time.  But obviously the more vetoes the worse the relationship between the two branches.  It could be construed as weakness on either side.  One could say its a weak president because he cant get any of his legislation passed, or a weak congress that cant convince the president (unless the choose to override the veto in which case the congress would be viewed as having a bit of an advantage).\nRecently, President Bush hasn't vetoed a single bill/law.  This is because he has a better relationship with congress, because they are of the same party.  Especially with his approval ratings low, if the congress was democratically controlled, then you would see a much more volatile relationship, resulting in a lot more vetoes.

I wanted to find out about how to get federal grants and everywhere I have looked I have to pay for the answers. I don't know where else to look. There has to be a way to find out without having to pay for something I'm not really sure about.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes. Both these sites are FREE\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

Will Limewire add spyware and crash my system as I had recently experienced with Kazza?

It shouldn't but it might slow it down substantially. I have limewire pro (because the free version is WAY slow!) but I only put it on when I want to download a specific file and quit it when my transfer is complete.

I am an American but I have been in high school in another country. I shall graduate in June 2007. The standard of education and examination in 12th grade where I'm studying is on par with that of 12th grade in the US.

Hi again, hope you don't mind. :) If you buy a college handbook, it will tell you which colleges need SATs, also, each one will say so on their website. There are also many websites (like collegeboard.com) that will give you stats and requirements of colleges. I believe there are a few innovative colleges out there that do NOT require SATs, but may require extra graded highschool essays, SAT IIs, or other information instead. \n\nThis site: http://www.collegenews.org/x5202.xml gives a list of colleges that have made SATs optional for admission. I hope it helps.\n\n"January, 2006- Drew University and Lawrence University recently joined a growing list of liberal arts colleges that have made the submission of standardized test scores optional.  According to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, about a quarter of all colleges nationwide no longer require standardized tests.  Is it possible that standardized tests -- criticized for cultural bias and for favoring students who can afford to pay for expensive test preparation courses -- may become increasingly less relevant to the admissions process, even at very selective colleges and universities?"(From website)


okay It is the starting of the school year if I want to sit next to the hott girl do I wait for the first hott chick to walk in and sit next to her or do I wait for  a little while?? hah answer please and u will get points!

Well... The hot ones usualy like it when u come to them. \nIf they're quiet it's wierd cuz u just act like u dont like them then they like you. That jus tprobably me though.


since we had sex. He says it's not me, that he just doesn't feel like it. I personally think im very attractive.Everytime we go out all the guys look at me and he knows that. I even told him i like it cause it's the only time where i feel desired. If i remind him for a few days then he will have sex once until i say something again (I've decided to not say anything this time and it's been 8 months) Plus he doesn't touch me or look at me, he just watch tv. I really love him and i think he loves me too. he wants to get engaged but i don't want to spend the rest of my life begging/not having sex. The only thing he does is get me flowers and material things. I;ve been telling him that I don't want to be spoiled by things. I know he is not cheating either. What is wrong with him? i;ve tried everything. Is he using me cause rent is cheaper? I don't know what to think but even if he says it's not me, I still feel unloved, not sexy

I hate to say this but be very careful he isn't cheating on you. It seems strange that he would just stop. Maybe he just needs some spicing things up, but DON'T tie the knot until you get him to talk about things. Communication is so key in successful relationships. If he won't talk to you, you may have to move on. I feel your pain girl, I've been there.

It's monumental.The rest of the world is down on us right now and the only way we're going to get out of the trenches is to have someone with charisma and an actual plan to set us in the right direction.We have so many problems on so many levels it's staggering.Bush and Cheney come off as arrogant stuffed shirts to most people and the poll numbers speak for themselves.Chaos abounds in this regime.The war,the borders,the economy,deficit,Katrina disaster,poverty,healthcare,etc.,is a direct result of an administration who is completely out of touch with the people and what they need.Our next president has a daunting task in front of him/her.Our nation needs a jump start with fresh ideas and a compassionate and passionate president.


I mean im not at all racist i wasnt raised up like that but,\ni was recently watching BET and that is a really racist channel if it was for them they would only have black people in the world, i mean what if white people made a channel WET\nwould they sue them for being racist and why dont they make a channel like that? instead of MTV - WET? give me details about what you think! THANKS!

I'm White and I don't think so.I like the channel.If you look on tv these days that's all you see is us.Hispanics have their own channel and it doesn't bother me.On another note anybody can be racist,but you have to tell the truth when it comes to us because we are often the perpetrators of hate.I mean look at some of the answers you are already getting,you have ignorant people spouting off at the mouth.You say your not "racist" but I think you might need to check yourself.I'm proud of myself and I don't need to put down Black or any other ethnic people to make myself feel better about me!

ok....i have a myspace and i forgot the password...i tried to send it to my other email that i signed up with on msn.com...but it wont send it to me...help

It could be the time difference of the servers (myspace & msn) so wait for a day, maybe u get it after that. Or maybe at the time of regestration u typed in a different address. You can try mailing Mysapce for the same.


my friend is suffering from social phobia.he cant speak in public.when ever he tries he starts shaking and sweating.he cant even speak properly when ever he wants to say something in class etc.

I used to be like this.  Every time I had to give a speech in high school I almost threw up- I would sweat and shake, and I thought everyone was talking about me.  (which they used to for years)  I was afraid to pay for gas inside, talk to customer service on the phone, and sit next to people in waiting rooms.\n\nI just got angry and decided one day that I didn't care what anyone else thought of me.  I think social phobia/social anxiety disorder has a lot to do with low self-esteem.  Instead of thinking that they were better than me, I thought that I was better than them.  As concieted as this sounds, it actually helped, because my self-esteem was so low that it brought it up to where I felt equal.  I dont' actually think that I'm better than others, just that they are no better than me and vice versa.\n\nIf that doesn't help, counseling may.  Having a neutral advocate helps.  Meds aren't good news for teens.... they can cause it to be worse, and have more side effects.

After 6 months I had a slight astigmatism on my left eye.  I'm not going to do the surgery again, it's just not worth it to me to risk the infection.  And since my vision was so incredibly bad before the surgery, I'm happy now not having to wear glasses anymore.  \n\nShare your stories.

yes!  my sister had lasik and has had all kinds of eye problems since then, going back for several follow up visits and now they say, oops, you might go blind in that eye but that's a risk if you look at the small print.  there was also a radio announcer in our area that had lasik and ended up having continual problems.  on the other hand, 3 other siblings had lasik without a problem.  there are alternatives if you have a stigmatism, but it's more complicated and the buy one get one free docs don't do it


Just curious because it doesn't really make sense to me. Did someone just decide this or is it said somewhere in the Bible or what?

666 is the number of the antichrist, the end times figure who will arise with the purpose of opposing God and God's people.  666 is the gamatria of the name of the antichrist.  \n     In Greek and Hebrew there are no numeric characters.  There are only alpha characters.  For example, the letters a, b, c, d, e, f, etc. are alpha characters.  The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., are numeric characters.  They are different -- except for the letter "o" and the number "0".  When the Greeks wanted to write a number, they used letters for numbers.  The Greek letter "alpha" had the numeric equivalent of 1.  The next letter "beta" has the numeric equivalent of 2, and so on.  \n\n     Therefore, whenever a word in Greek is written, because the letters are also numbers, every word has a numeric value.  This numeric value is called a gematria.  The Greek word for Jesus (IhsouV) has a mathematical equivalent of 888.  Also, the Greek word for fish is 1224.  \n     What the Bible is saying is that the future antichrist will have a name that when it is written in Greek, its numeric equivalent will be 666.


i have 2 friends that i absoluotely love and wld do anything for in the world. the one that is my roomate is not that great on the eyes but has been a virgin up until a year ago and has been with about 13 men in this past year.she will give up anything to go meet a guy including miss school. and the majority of these men are from the internet.  the other girl is my absolute best friend and we talk about everything and both of us wld do anything foe each other but she seems to demonstrate some of the same behavioral patterns. she has been i call, being used by this 35 yr old man that lives with his 32 yr old sister for the past yr. on the days he is off she cannot go over there until after his sister goes to work which is 11 pm or if he bowls or hangs with his friends,sometimes later. then she has to get up and leave at 7 am before his sister gets back home. there is another man in jail that she visits that promised to give her the worl when he got out and recently tld her that he isnt

Sounds like you have 2 BEST FREINDS who have issues with self esteem & you aren't the one to fix their problems... you should deal with your own... you said it oursel they are adult ladies (ladies is a word I wouldn't use for them) who should know better


i knew that i was a full fledged adult for a while it is just when i go to events like my cousins 8th grade ribbon ceremony.  then i think back to when he was still a baby that i used to carry around.  i just wanted to know what other people thought about it.

The first time they laid my newborn son in my arms. EVERY priority in my world changed! If I was not an adult then, I had better become one real quick, because I had to meet every need he had in this world. I did, he grew up, and now has kids of his own.


I know that girls will hv pain and cramps sometimes during their period. So i'd like to know what are the best ways to reduce them.

Oddly enough our old gym teachers were right - sit ups help most with cramps it seems.  Of course this suggestion is most often met with disbelief (and sometimes hostility).\n\nMy grandmother always told me to put a pillow on my stomach to keep it warm.


ive  searched the internet but all i see is boat rentals, however all i want is a place where i can rent a jetski for a couple hours and have some fun,  CAN YOU HELP ME???

Yes. Illinois - Northern\nJeff Kuta says one of the best places to ride in Northern Illinois is on Lake Michigan. The waves are simply awesome, even on a relatively calm day. (They don't call it the windy city for nothing!) Located at Lake Shore Drive and Wilson Ave., the Chicago Park District run launching area is the mecca for PWC riders from all over Chicagoland. A day pass costs $15 or you can purchase a season permit for $110.\n\nTom suggests aside from Lake Michigan (my personal favorite), Chain-O-Lakes (another favorite), there is a small river called the Rock River which cuts through Rockford (second largest city in IL). This river is great for the locals and offers a few places to eat and one gas fill up. Launching is free in about 6 different locations on the river. The best part about this river is, you can go for about 45 miles in spring time (one direction) on a river that has some 270 degree bends (only 30 ft wide in the tight areas) and this makes for a very thrilling ride. It is very quiet in the extreme north-west end of the river (better bring extra gas!). The most thrilling jetski ride I ever had was to ride in a club with 23 other jetskiers in a single file line up this long snaky river. Check out these websites for a closer at Chain-O-Lakes: www.lake-online.com/chainolakes and www.foxwaterway.state.il.us \n\nDoes this help? Do I get best answer?

I am so glad he still talks to me & it would kill me if he didn't but it still makes me sad when I know he will eventually find someone else.

You have to take care of yourself first. I've been through it. I thought I was strong enough to watch him date and be with other women and still be be he's friend. I stood by him and listened to he's phone calls at 1:00am when nobody would talk to him thinking that he would come back and love me. Of course that never happened. You need to get on with your life. Because I guarantee he knows you will be there for him.And you need to let him know he can't use you


And what is it about the woman that attracts that type of man to them like magnets? I know it's a codependent relationship but what does the woman get out of it if anything?

Most of the time it has to do with the fact that they had a poor male role model growing up. Often going after the same type of man they know well in their life.  It is sad, but breakable, woman just have to want it to be different and realize when it is happening. They need to recognize the triggers and check themselves so they don't repeat poor choices in men.


BECAUSE AT THIS POINT THEY MUST BE A KOOK AND YOU DON'T WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH KOOKS.


My oldest nephew, Matthew.  He had a drug addict mom and an over the road truck driver dad.  He raised his 3 younger siblings most of their lives.  He worked hard in school and got a 4 year scholarship to a school through Disney in Arizona. After graduation he came home and married his childhood sweetheart, Mindy.  He then started his own computer graphics business and bought his first home when he was 24.  Two years later he bought a brand new house and kept building the business.  He's in his brand new custom built house now.  Business is great.  Marriage is great.  I am so proud of him for doing all he has, and all this with no parental encouragement is impressive.  They came to visit today and he is the nicest guy you could meet.  And I guess all of this is why I like Matt.


in a tcp or udp connection, does the receiver know the physical address of the sender?

in general yes,\nbut it depends on connection type,\nif both computers are on the same network then it is possible to know the physical address. but if they are connected by routing (routers) then it impossible to get the physical address of the sender.\n\n======MORE INFO======\nIt is in every frame the router recieves so the router can resolve MAC address to id address by its table.


I can easily access to my yahoo-mail from any other computer but not from mine; one week ago I could do it without any problem (yes, I still remember my password).

This may seem obvious, but you may try to see if number lock or caps lock is on/off on the either computer.  This happens more often than you would imagine.

I'm 49 and want to get back in shape, I have 40 extra-pounds.\nMy plan is walking 30 minutes, dancing 30 minutes, weights and abdominals 30 minutes. I just quit smoking a month ago.

how often? If you're trying to drop 40+ pounds, you need to do cardio at least 5-6 days per week; walking doesn't typically constitute cardio, so pick up the pace. add strength training at least 3 days/week. if you're a newbie in the weight room, try doing a full-body circuit 3 or 4 times thru each of those days. if you want further clarification or any pointers, feel free to message me.


This is one of the most common misconceptions regarding the theory of evolution.  The theory of human evolution does not claim that humans came from apes.  Instead, it says that many millions of years ago, there was a species that was neither a human nor an ape.  This species split into at least two groups.  Over millions of years, one of those groups gradually changed to become what we now know as apes, and one of them gradually changed to become what we now know as humans. \n\nWhether you choose to believe the theory of evolution or some other explanation for how humans came to be is an entirely different matter.  That's something you have to decide for yourself--a bunch of strangers on the Internet can't tell you that.

I was informed at my job that it would be in everyone's best interest if we learned Spanish, they even have free classes set up for us to learn..Now excuse me,but last time I checked I was on American soil..Shouldn't it be the other way around.What is this country coming to..It's bad enough that every other radio and TV station is in Spanish.When is the average American going to get a break around here? If I goto Mexico then they will expect me to know Spanish, so why doesn't that same rule apply for America!!

I agree with you, if i went to Germany to live and get a job i would learn German.  If i choose that to be my home and to become a citizen i would not dis them and refuse to say their anthem.  I would not spit on them and fly my flag.  And i certainly not expect them to learn my language because i was too lazy and or dumb to learn theirs.  The mexicans need to get with the program or go home.


Imagine alot of things happen arounds us, people killing and dieing, when you in this life, you keep going down and theres no one to run to and there no one to pull you, you keeping on runing and falling no one can hear your calling, so you end up self destructiong

You keep falling and eventually fall in love, thats how it goes. Remember God is always there for you, in good times and bad times.

I am a usually well controlled hypertensive on Coreg (cardelivol), diovan and a thiazide. Last week I started a very small dose of Prozac (5 mg.). After 7 days of Prozac  my BP is way out of control (e.g. 190/10). Do you think they are connected? I am getting in touch with my cardiologist tomorrow.

Taking prozac should have no effect on blood pressure. I take prozac and my pressure has not risen.  It takes about 3 or 4 weeks before the medication takes affect.

40 planks are needed to construct a wall. a man was contracted to construct 4 such walls..condition is that ...at first the man should com to the manager with a certain no: of planks, say x, then the manager will giv him another x planks in addition to him...then he must go n construct a wall n com back to the manager with the remaining no: of planks ...again the manager will giv him planks equal to the remaining no: of planks and this continues...after finishing the 4 walls the man should not hav any extra planks with him...so what is x???

There are some right answers, but without delving into lots of equations, it is easiest to think backwards.\n\nHow many planks does he need for the last wall?  40 (20 from the manager, 20 left over from the 3rd wall).\n\nSo to finish the 3rd wall he needs the 40 plus the leftover 20, total of 60.  Again 30 from the manager, 30 leftover from the 2nd wall.\n\nTo finish the 2nd wall, he needs 40+30 or 70 planks.  Again this is 35 from the manager, 35 leftover from the 1st wall.\n\nInitially, he would need to start with 40+35 or 75 planks.  This is 37.5 from the manager and 37.5 from the stock.\n\nThe answer is that he needs 37.5 planks in his possession when he first goes to the manager.


Diamonds are not high-tech, they were dug by hand and dynamite during the Sierra Leonian civil war and transported by foot to neighbouring Ghana or Burkina-Faso, and then smuggled out of the country as 'blood diamonds' or 'conflict diamonds'.  They are a major cause for conflict, just like minerals still are in Congo/Zaire/DRC whatever you want to call that territory.  So think about that before you buy your wife a diamond ring!!\n\nHigh tech, I studied high-tech in Ghana for a while.  There is an incubator of ICT (information and communication technology) based technologies in Accra, called Busy Incubator, funded by World Bank Infodev programme.  It's located upstairs of the largest privately owned high-tech company in Sub-Saharan Africa, called Busy Internet.  It's an internet cafe of 100 pcs, has conference facilities, wireless internet, soon will have WiMax pilots, restaurant, copyshop, cinema.  \n\nIn Accra, there is a major software company called Soft Tribe, they produce software for cash machines and computers to do the local cedi accounting, they now also localise Microsoft Windows for the regional market, though they don't translate it into Twi yet (most spoken language in Ghana besides English).  There are plans for a Hausa (the most spoken native/non-colonial language in West Africa) version of Vista, the next Microsoft Windows distribution, so expect Soft Tribe to get the contract.  \n\nI'd like to mention also the Kofi Annan Centre for Excellence in ICT, a training school for ICT industry in Ghana.  They also have meetings of the Linux Accra User Group every Saturday at 2pm, to develop open source software.  Expect more investment in OSS in Ghana, as it's cheap and usable for old hardware like pentium 2 PCs.  \n\nI can go on, and this is just ONE country in Africa, not even the richest one.  Every African country has a national telephone company, in Ghana it's Ghana Telecom, who provide broadband access (to a limited number of land lines though), but other ISPs also flourish, many of them satellite or wireless ISPs.  \n\nIn Accra, there are some call centres, one doing medical records processing I think, so they are stealing some business away from India already in that respect.  Ghana Telecom is planning similar moves in the long term in terms of outsourcing some business processes.  \n\nThere is a growing multimedia and film industry, if you want to count in the creative industries.  Look for Childnet and Runway 14, great examples.  Runway 14 will make a CD-ROM of Ghanaian 50th national independence day next year, along with 3D visions of the main tourist attractions of the country.  Childnet produces children's learning software with West African themes, dialect of english, and characters who children can assocaite with (no more playing with white barbies and feeling racial inferiority in the information age!!).\n\nThere isn't any high tech manufacturing in Ghana, unless you include cocoa processing and car workshops as high-tech.  The skills and the capital isn't there, a small number of tractors are locally assembled, but most busses come assembled from Brazil or China directly.  \n\nHigh-tech will take time to develop, but not necessarily more than 20 years, since Ghana has a high number of qualified engineers, who mostly work abroad in High-Tech companies like Nokia, Intel, Microsoft etc, locally there just isn't enough venture capital, skilled workers and facilities to start up high-tech manufacturing.  Should I mention political will has a role to play too.  Ghana is rich in Gold, but it allows foreign mining companies to carry it away for a minimal fee, that's not an industrial policy...


I fell in love with this man right before I graduated college and was engaged and found out he got his ex-girl pregnant while we were engaged, I was devastated. Went on a downward spiral which ended in 94 with me arrested, lost my job,etc. He was there to pick up the pieces, he always made me feel safe. Got myself together and had our son in 1996.Devoted my life to the two of them, he bought our house 3 years ago. I thought it was a great new beginning for us, apparently he has felt nothing but resentment and pity. He systematically pulled further and further away from me and I let him, felt grateful to have what I did, didn't want to nag at him. Told me last Sunday that he was in love with someone else and needed me to get myself together enough to move us out of his house.He can't imagine spending the rest of his life with me. I feel so betrayed and used up, not to mention foolish. He has offered to goto counseling to help our son thru this.What do I do? How do I do this?

Oh My God, that is a terrible and sad story. I really wish that I knew what to tell you or at least had some good advise. Being kicked out of my girlfriends house just a few months ago, I can relate to some of what you are going through. You will have hard times and sadness for a long time no doubt. But believe it or not, it does get easier as time goes by. That does not help you right now I know, and for that I am also sorry. There really isnt anything that I can tell you or that anybody can tell you really that will ease your pain and suffering. But for sure you need to keep your head about you and do whatever it takes to get you and your son through this horrible time in your life. I can be your e-mail pal/friend if you want, and again I wish I had some quick-fix remedy. Keep your chin up. (smile)


As a follow-up question, I currently work broadband Internet tech support, but not really networking, so I have no practical skills. When I take the 2-yr. course toward CCNP certification at my local college (including A+ and CCNA cert. thrown in), should I be ready to take the CCNP test (though I have no real-world experience in the field)? I hear a lot about experience, but I won't be able to get that before testing. <Anxiously awaiting a favorable reply>

Almost.  You will want to take as many practice tests before hand to sharpen your knowledge.  I shutter to think about two years on one certification though.


me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 years now. We started having problems in our relationship, and we both were hurt and was trying to work things out. SO when that happen we and my boyfriend stop talking for at least 3 days during that time my boyfriends brother was playing "cupid" but i feel like he was play it a little to much. He was telling me how much his brother cared about me, and was making me laugh to make me feel better about things and other. He told me that his brother takes about me so much tell the point he gets mad and jealous cause im not with him and he wishes that i was his girlfriend. In a way i felt like he was flirting with me and in a way i dont. So later on me and my boyfriend hooked back up and worked things out. My boyfrend brother saw a picture of my friend and said that he wasnt as pretty as me and that i was really pretty and looked better than all my friends. Its it wrong to feel like my boyfriend brother kind of likes me or is he just being sweet

it is hard to say exactly how the brother feels about you, but it sounds as though he likes you a little, but mostly just trying to be nice to you & hook you up with his brother. Would i be wrong in assuming that you have an attraction to the brother, & you want him to like you? I think that if that is the case, then it would be wrong. Even if you & his brother broke up it would still be wrong. It would cause too many problems in the family, so if that is the case, drop the crush on the brother, & stick with the boyfriend, Or leave them both alone.


For the last 3 years when i get in the sun, I break out in bumps any where that I'm exsposed and itch like crazy. Is there anyone who can give me advice on medicene to take or something i can suggest to my doctor.

well, believe it or not, but the symptoms you suggest sounds kinda like the disease Porphyria. The kooky part of this all is that this disease is what is said to be the cause of real life vampirism. I know, sounds crazy, but run with this a minute. \n\nThere is a type of Porphyria known as erythropoietic porphyrias which, as wikipedia says "primarily affect the skin, causing photosensitivity (photodermatitis), blisters, necrosis of the skin and gums, itching, and swelling, and increased hair growth on areas such as the forehead." \n\nI don't know if this is at all what you have, but if you have these other symptoms, perhaps you should ask the doctor for a test.\n\nThey say that it can be treated with a change in diet for mild cases. \n\nBesides, if you really do believe you are allergic to the sun, that sure sounds like some sort of vampirism type illness. Probably should go get checked out by a doctor (primarily a determintologist).\n\nGood luck!


I recieve SSd and my husband is in the process of applying for it.  I know if it was SSI it would be affected by my income but what about SSD since he is already vested?

I don't know the parameters, but there are considerations for every penny that comes in the house along with how its coming into the house.\n\nC'mon this is the government we're talking about.  They are going to squeeze you every way they can


I want to purchase a song not available on the itunes music store, how would I get it onto my ipod without buying the CD or burning it onto a blank CD?

just like how you would put a regular song onto your ipod. just play it on itunes and click and drag.


My schools science fair is coming up, i need an award winning topic, thanks!

Show a floating ring gear assembly and ask how clean free energy can be produced from it. If you are smart and belive in God and Jesus, you will be allowed to see how it works. It has taken me over thirty years to see the final answer, but it was worth the pursuit. Upon seeing and understanding how it works, the rush is on as to who first presents it to the rest of the world in a working model. May you be a person of God and Jesus and then you will see how it is built. Trust me, it can be done. Dave.


here are 3 clues:\n\n1. was the last player to play in an NHL game without a helmet?\n\n2. Is a present day coach.\n\n3. was in a motor vehicle accident in which somebody in the other vehicle was killed and he was subsequently convicted of alcohol related charges.


what are some cool things that i should know about whether it is breaking news, how to make or do something or whatever.

You should totally learn about Particle Accelerators... they are amazing!  I am not sure where most of them are, but I know that they have one in Batavia, Illinois.  And it is huge!!!


OK this is NO JOKE. I'm 14 years old and I'm an outstanding basketball player from surburban Maryland. I have been practicing for years and I have just never been discovered. Every aspect of my game is perfected for the most part. When I go to the gym, I destroy everyone. I'm 6'0 140. How can I get on a team or something because I know I will be playing profession basketball in less than 5 years- overseas or in the NBA. Is it too late for me?

It never too late. Are you in a high skol? Cause if you are then u should join the b-ball team. If the coach sees that ur a good/the best he will recommend you and you might even get scholarships and play at a college or better yet be in the NBA.


the first, though not a bible fearin' Christian, personally speaks to spirits, angels. the whales and uses sacred crystals...and channels on occasion...she even bought me a crystal to sleep with when she's not there...\n\nThe other is a passionate artist, who is a true expert on the history and philosophy of religion and isn't mad at god, but just see's no need for one.\n\nThey are both loving, beautiful, intelligent, good in bed and 'high moral' girls whom i feel equally strong for whichever one i with at the time.....\n\nSome guys would 'like' this problem but it could be real trouble...\nI'm agnostic right down the middle...i only channel to ESPN. it doesn't matter to me either way, i accept all beliefs, its all good...but they would kill each other ( and me ) if i don't pick A or B and let one down easy....before they find out about each other....

Put it this way....is one of them trying to convert you to her way of thinking?  That's almost as bad as trying to convert you to a particular religion.  It means she doesn't really like you the way you are, she is trying to "fix" you according to the way she thinks you should be.\n\nIt's great when two people love each other *and* agree to explore each other's beliefs, but it shouldn't ever be forced.\n\nIf one (or both) of these girls is trying to convince you that her belief system is right, and get you to go along with it, you will end up miserable and bitter. It may not be a good enough reason to end the relationship, but it will kill it all the same.\n\nStick with the girl who loves you for who and what you are now.


I am NOT overweight....I actually hit the mark for how much I am supposed to weigh for my age and height. \nBoth my mother and my father snore and unfortunately, I have heard that the Breatheright strips do not help the problem at all?\n\nDo you have any suggestions on treatments?

You can help prevent snoring by:\nAvoiding the use of alcohol and medications that slow your breathing, such as sleeping pills and tranquilizers. \nEating sensibly, exercising, and maintaining a weight as close as possible to a healthy weight. \nGoing to bed at the same time every night and getting plenty of sleep. Regular sleep patterns help you sleep better, and more restful sleep may decrease snoring. \nSleeping on your side, not on your back. Sleeping on your back can increase snoring. Try sewing a pocket in the middle of the back of your pajama top, putting a tennis ball into the pocket, and stitching it closed. This will help keep you from sleeping on your back. \nQuitting smoking. This reduces inflammation and swelling in the airway, which may contribute to the narrowing of the airway. \nRaising the head of your bed 4 in. (10 cm) to 6 in. (15 cm) by putting bricks under the legs of the bed (using pillows to raise your head and upper body will not work). Sleeping at a slight incline can prevent the tongue from falling toward the back of the throat and contributing to a blocked or narrowed airway. \nPromptly treating breathing problems, such as a stuffy nose caused by a cold or allergies. Breathing problems can increase the risk of snoring.


Me and my boyfriend has been together for 4 yrs now. And majority of that time he spent really hurting me (lying, cheating and etc...) I know i shoulda left but he's my first love and I love him so much. But the past year we cant go 2 weeks without arguing.  I know i nag him allot due to him always staying out late and having all these female friends (basically i dont trust him).  But i dont understand how he can get mad at me for that when its his own fault. He'll sit there with a straight face and lie to me and know he's lying watch me cry and say all these crazy things but still wont budge with the truth. therefore that made me start snooping around and its like EVERYTIME i snoop i find things. hurtful things. Now im 8 months pregnant and all i want is to be happy and i cant. right now were arguin b-cuz of his lies but since i have no proof (cuz he changed his p.w's again) he treat me like dirt. yesterday he told me he that hes not the man for me and now im just confused and hurt.

He will not change.  He will not save you.  He will keep treating you like dirt.  You have a baby to worry about.  You can't depend on him.  Obviously.  He can get mad as much as he wants.  You need to start thinking about how to take responsibility for the baby.  Stop worrying about him.


I didnt grow up around the water, so I when I got to the beach, I always wonder, does it hurt your eyes more to open them in a chlorine filled swimming pool, or salt warter?

Opening your eyes underwater...I would describe it is uncomfortable more than painful.  Even then, the actual discomfort comes after surfacing when your eyes are exposed to air again.  Having them open underwater isn't that bad at all once you are used to it, but as soon as you surface you will feel a stinging sensation as the water starts to evaporate and leave salt on your eyes.


Every other club that I use in the bag I hit straight including the 3-wood. Perhaps my shaft is too flexible? I have tried placing both hands with an over the top grip that will help, but I lose tremendous amounts of power. Any tips to work on with my Driver would be appreciated. I'm left handed by the way.

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it much \nfurther than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!


There are always "popular" kids in school. What makes them popular, I'm really dying to know...

What makes them popular is that people just really want to be around them. Maybe it's their personality, maybe they have a huge built-in swimming pool. Whatever they have, it's something that people want.


I mean do they just get random people from the street or what?

They don't use real people anymore they use a Photo lineup of 6 people.Normally other people that have been arrested and booked in County jails as there is an endless supply of them. Police do not participate in the line ups, so no they don't have cops that dress up. One suspect and 5 others. The witness or victim pick them out of the lineup that way if they can and circle and date and sign it and the lineup becomes evidence for prosecution. The lineup should be same sex approximate age height and build for all even facial hair will be similar. No more 6 people lined up in a room and the victim says that's him book em Danno..

Through my reading for known holy books (Old Testement, New Testement, and Quran), I found that all of them contradict science facts. \n\nA very known example for that is when Quran said in Kahf [18 : 86] that the sun sets into a well at the far west. That belief was also confirmed by Prophet Muhamed when he said that the sun goes at the end of the day to kneel under god's thron.\n\nThis understanding was also confirmed by all scholars who explained Quran until 9th century, including Ibn Abbas, basry, Abu dawood, and all others \n\nBy the 9th century, it was discovered by science that the sun never sets or sleeps, but when a very important scientist, Razy, said that all scholars refused it and accused him of secularism.\n\nThis is almost the same story happened for Gallelio as well. So, my question is, if god knows from the beginning that the sun never sets, why did he say this in his holy books? and why did not prophet Muhamed explain it to people?

Whoa whoa whoa. . . .Wait a minute!!!!!\n\nYou're saying the Sun DOESN'T go to kneel into a well every night in the west??\n\nPerhaps science just hasn't found the right well!  Sheesh!!!\n\nWe all know the books were written for people other than us here and now.  If that's your point, you made it well.  If you're really not sure who to believe, I feel for ya.


well, just give me a topic and I can find out as much as I can for you, Then Ill email it you, but It would be nice if I could get your email to send you the info about your question.

shrinking clothes, particularly a tee-shirt


Actually yes, and they made a huge website about it called KissThisGuy.com, so that people could admit to all the lyrics they missheard.  Link below:


I am researching on how Extra Terrestrials effect our lives.\nIt said that Extra Terrestrials have encountered most human beings on Terra Earth and ussualy encounter us in our subconsious thought. They enter our astral field by our thoughts of fear.\n\nI am concerned!? Does this mean that we have no soul?

No, James, we are not interested in stealing your soul! And for future reference, your body doesn't have a soul, you ARE a soul with a body. Think about it that way and you will be a wise man my friend.


Is there any religion that according to its teachings, you don't have follow it to be saved?

The first question is ill-posed, for not every religion has a concept of salvation.  As far as I understand it, salvation is meaningless in Buddhism, which does not conceive of a God/Judge Who either saves or condemns its creatures.\n\nAs for your second question: Unitarian Universalism eschews speaking about God, and it embraces both people who believe in His/Her existence and people who do not.  Unitarian Universalists who may believe in an afterlife would certainly say that you don't have to follow their doctrine to be saved, if salvation has any meaning to begin with.


If football is the best sport, then Liverpool must be the best club.

No, they are not the best in the world but in England, to a certain extent, they are. Just look at their history. No other club in England can match their trophy haul. Do you see MU winning the Champions League five times? Does MU's trophy cabinet have the REAL cup? No. But I'll be damned if Liverpool's club anthem is NOT the best in the world. You'll Never Walk Alone!!


My girlfriend got a speeding ticket Tuesday and was driving on a ticket.  She went to a club last night and had to show it as ID along with her work ID.  A man behind her in line said "I can vouch for her I gave her the ticket."  A couple hours later he approched her and said "If you take care of me I'll take care of the ticket."  Then he grabbed her and grinded up against her.  My GF slapped him and cursed him out.  There are 3 witnesses that saw and heard all.  Is there anything she can do about an off-duty policeman doing that?  I was not there by the way so I'm not one of the witnesses.  The witnesses are her friend, and 2 female strangers.

IF this is for real, what has stopped her from seeing the District Attorney? She should have been there the following morning. She should press charges, period...crooked police anywhere are a big problem. IF she has witnesses, will they testify??? Better have all the ducks in a row before going anywhere with this.


My bf daughter is in 6th grade and she really wants to join the diving team and she dosen't know if she is too young is she why or why not?

No, 12 year olds regularly train and compete as divers. It is definitely not too young, its is actually a great age to start if shes willing to try it. But don't expect her to be flipping and spinning immediately. It takes time and Training. Bear in mind that success at diving depends a lot on coordination, muscle strength and physical size and these come to you at different rates as you grow up. For instance. If shes very small framed she will be too light to be able to get any height on a springboard bounce and therefore will find it very difficult to do more than the simplest of dives. So it's important not to compare her to other divers her age and older and falsely assume she has no talent at it, or is too young to do it etc. as everyone learns at a different pace. For the first few years, she will need a lot of encouragement and approval and support to stick with it.  Good Luck!

Some guys in my 8th grade class think swimming is not a sport. but then again... that is just them , cuz they are LOSERS!!!! sooo i need to no your opinion: Is swimming a sport or not?

Yes it is,its one of the best and one of the most prolific sports there is, swimmers are amongst the most elite finess regimes there is and are far superior than footballers. nearly all countries compete at swimming, Soccer is no 1. Basketball is No 2. Swimming is No 3.Why do you think Swimming is the highlight of any international sporting Games events ie: Olympic Games/Panam games etc, your right your class 8 grade guys are not very smart in fact their dumbasses and would probally drown if they go in the water.

You have to enhance your skills by reading and all that good stuff, but you also have to make family friends.


my brother has a drug problem and i'm trying to find people who have or had the same problem, or someone who knows about these drugs.

Yes, I have had numerous family members addicted to these drugs.  They are prescription pain killers that are highly addictive.  My cousin was addicted to them for about 2 years, and they almost destroyed her life.  She finally addmited to having a problem and admitted herself into a rehab.  She was there for 6 weeks.  They put her through detox and weaned her off the drugs.  She had the same withdrawl symptoms of a heroin addict.  The doctors first prescribed them to her when she had problems with her back and she was in a lot of pain.  They seemed to help but only for a little while and she then needed more and more of the painkillers to work.  In the end she was taking about 15-20 a day.  I say that you and your family try to do an intervention on your brother.  It could mean his life.  Best wishes to you and I pray that your brother finds a solution to his problem.


Shouldn't you be moving on and finding \nquestions worthy of your valuable opinions?\nWhy are you wasting your time with my questions?\nMove along Republicans...\nthere's nothing for \nyou to answer here...

Good point, the Republicans think they can abuse you into submission my friend. You know they are part of the Borg collective and can't think for themselves. Rush Limbaugh is the Oxycontin queen that they have to get their answers from, so they can copy and paste. Keep up the good work, you are right!


Which school had a better academic succes rate Southwestern community college in San Diego, CA or Grossmont community College in El Cajon, CA? which one is better to attend after high school?

I concur with Teebs. Grossmont is the better school. The curriculumn ther has been masterfully designed totransfer credit to a UC or CSU school very easily. A lot of SDSU and UCSD students go to Grossmount to take classes that would usually be impacted and more costly to attend in the respective universities. \n\nI went there many moons ago while attending SDSU at the same time. Grossmount was sometimes called little SDSU.


help me!\ni got a F! and i hid the paper...\nwhere can i throw it away? so nobody can see it.\ni no i had lied to my parents...\nand can somebody tell me where i can study more! please!\nwhere can i hide the paper?

OK Hanna,\n Here's the deal. You can do one of two things:\n\n1) Hide the paper and lie about it and keep getting F's and become a LYING/LOSER.\n\n2) Tell your parents the truth and get help to get better grades and become a TRUE WINNER.\n\n Seems like a no-brainer to me. Good luck.\nInodat


.  .  . in many cases , they murder the opposite-sex [ females ] after " having the fun " . . .

I think noone of those who answered noticed that the key question is not WHY DO WE ADORE SEX?! it's why do we discard the partner after getting our fix of it.\n\nI would say it's coz most people take the easy way, they want to eat the cake but not help bake it!\n\nSad...


I asked a question about who exactly are these scientists who say dinosaur bones are younger than thought and that many scientists now say carbon dating is wrong.\n\nPlease tell me who these people are who are always referred to as "they"\n\ndetter92\n\n"now they have found out they were wrong even about carbon dating"\n\nwho exactly ?\n\nLamont Cranston\n\n"By the way they have found dinosaur bones that are supposed to be billions of years old that still have marrow and blood cells in them"\n\nWho are "they", when and where did this discovery take place ?

Hey, recently I started working with images and decided to install gd library so I could use it in my C++ apps. I am on windows xp professional and downloaded the files from here: http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gdwin32.zip . I moved the header files into my include folder and copied all the others to the directory the compiler is in. It allows me to make a pointer to an image, but if I try something else I get an error. The code is:\n\n#include <gd.h>\n\nint main()\n\n{\n    gdImagePtr im;\n    im = gdImageCreate(65, 70);\n    gdImageDestroy(im);\n    \n    return 0;\n    \n}\nand get these errors:\n\n  [Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__gdImageCreate@8'\n  [Linker error] undefined reference to `_imp__gdImageDestroy@4'\n  ld returned 1 exit status\n\nCan someone lead me in the right direction? I've read the documentation and would really like to get it working. Thanks for any help.

You are going to have to search through the files that came with the gd library, and hope to find the functions/methods named _imp_gdimageCreate and _imp_gdimageDestroy\nUpon finding, include the file in the compile commands, as the linker cannot find the appropriate function. ie,\n<compiler/linker> <any_options> <your_files> <the_new_file_or_library>

NO, Kobe Byrant never have this chance in his remaining career.


what is the scale of numbers used to rate bone density?

You must have osteopenia and not osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is defined as a T-Score more than -2.5. You have to start taking calcium so as not to make it worse. Also, see your MD to ascertain if you have anyother condition or if you are taking any medications that may make this worse. Good luck.


also are there sites that show the faults in other topics such as the big bang theory and how something can never come from nothing and theories such as all processes occur with decreasing energy... so how could todays Earth become so complex\n\nand i dont need comments from those who believe in evolution i already believe in creation

If so, what ages and should females be required to serve as well?

Politicians will have to revisit the draft and unfortunately if our military commitments remain as high as they are one may be needed. Politically it won't happen before the election. The Republicans are already going to lose the Senate. They don't want to also lose the house.\n\nI believe many in the Military went in for the education, never thinking that they would serve three tours in Iraq. Recruitment may be up but only because the standards to get in were lowered. If we keep sending body bags home at the rate we are (47 in from May 1-14) and the regulars are pulling multiple tours, the enlistment rates will continue to slide.\n\nAdditionally, more people are seeing Iraq as a bogus war and will not enlist. In Vietnam many who were killed were drafted, and I know from personal experience, if it weren't for the draft they would not have been there. Many fled to Canada.\n\nBush is now sending the National Guard to enforce our borders so they will no longer be an option. Early in Iraq almost 1/2 of the military were National Guard.\n\nWe have closed as many bases as we dare, pulled as many troops as we thoght we could out of Japan, Germany and Korea.\n\nAnd the government has kept thousands of military past ther ETS date or the date they are suppose to be discharged.\n\nWith that scenerio, where are you going to get the bodies if not from a draft?


i want to get a job in mnc's amd i am a electronics student,i dont have any touch in maths and resoning,please prefer a book so that i can prepare well,i request to suggest a book that has solutions too.thank u

Before attempting to purchase such a book on analytical reasoning, etc, I suggest you buy a good book on the art of spelling.


ok, i'm only 13 and i think i have an alchohol addiction. it's sad because everytime i go out with my parents and they get a drink, i have to watch and stop myself from trying to get one myself. it's really hard and i'm so confused

My first answer is for you to tell someone you feel comfortable telling.  You may only be 13, but you can very well have an addiction that can last a lifetime.  I too, had alcohol addiction at 13.  I stopped drinking at 16 when I married and had my first child.  I wish that I would have asked my parents for help to stop.  Only you can make the decision to quit or to continue.  I tried to quit many times.  My friends didn't even know how much I drank. I am a Christian and I will be praying for you. I hope that is OK. My final answer is there is nothing wrong with you that is not wrong with many of us.  Always love yourself.

I am takeing a IQ test tomarrow and I need to know how I can study for it. I know IQ tests are on what you know but I really really need to get into the school gifted program

There's not a lot of studying that you can do.  There are some tests that assess your processing speed and perceptual reasoning abilities- and you can't really study for or fake those.


THERE IS THAT NEW "LOOSE CHANGE" DOCUMENTARY GOING AROUND. BUT I'VE BEEN HEARING SO MANY DIFFERENT THEORIES ABOUT 9-11. WHAT DO YOU THINK WENT DOWN THAT DAY?? DO YOU BELIEVE THERE WILL BE SIMILAR ATTACKS IN THE FUTURE?? IS THE GOVERENMENT CORRUPT??

BushCo. and the big businesses that have the INC. after their title.  have you ever seen the movie "Wag the Dog"?  watch that, and try to have a nice nights sleep afterwards.  Cheney has so many ties to the big oil business thats its a hard sell to not believe that this was an orchestrated event with our pseduoleaders involvment.  i honestly believe, and i hope i'm wrong, that there will be a big nasty event before november of this year.  dont forget, its re-election year, and the poll numbers dont look so good for the monied interests.  bush is so much of a crack head i dont know if he does know whats going on.  but cheney and the members of the P.N.A.C. (Project for the New American Century) are devious baddies who need to all rot in prison, along with their Mr. Ed (G.W.Bush).\n\naddition:  when osama hit the w.t.c. about 18 years ago, he was on tv within two hours saying he did it.  when osama hit the uss cole six years ago, he was on tv within two hours saying "i just blew up your battleship, what you gonna do"?  but with 911, no body claimed responsibility.  two months plus after the fact, this administration (BushCo.) said: "oh, we found out it was who we had thought it was, that evil guy osama".  thats convenient, now isn't it?  and so why are we in iraq again?

ik kocht een laptop op ebay , 275€ voor een dell latitudec600.\nnu kom ik tot de vaststelling dat er inbrand vlekken op het scherm zijn , een koeling werkt niet , en ik kan hem niet instaleren met cd , , volgens de verkoper moet ik gewoon maar via de bios alles veranderen! je moet toch al iets van comp kennen om dat te kunnen !!! de verkoper zegt dat er niet vermeld stond in de advertentie dat hij zou geinstaleerd zijn , dat is niet toegelaten , maar er stond ook niet in dat het scherm ingebrand is , en dat is het wel + alle andere fouten ! ik koop deze laptop omdat ik mij als alleenstaande moeder geen nieuwe kan veroorloven , maar nu zal ik nog moeten bijbetalen om hem aan de praat te krijgen , ik kan het niet zelf en wie weet wat komt er nog allemaal boven , en ik heb ook het geld niet ! ik voel me bedrogen tot en met , de laptop is in frans en er zit geen instructie boekje bij , de verkoper is een speciaalzaak in 2de hands pc materiaal, maar veel hulp krijg ik niet , wat nu ?

Ik kan niet zo goed Nederlands (Vlaams) schrijven, daarom zeg ik het in Engels, ik denk dat je kan begrijpen wat ik zeg! \nI think that you should try to go back to where you bought it and tell him to install the device for you. Otherwise, find someone who uses the same kind of laptop, and ask him about it. Although, yahoo-tech may also help you (You can find it on the yahoo homepage. http://tech.yahoo.com/ )

In terms of IRS and SH2 - need information for my exam

No, that answer is completely wrong- I assume you know that, since you are asking about the signal transduction pathway.\nSo, like any receptor, the insulin receptor has an extracellular domain that binds the ligand, in this case insulin. When this occurs, a tyrosine kinase inside the cell is activated, which is part of the insulin receptor itself-this is a typical trophic factor receptor function.  This TK  phosphorylates the insulin receptor substrate (IRS) on a number of different tyrosine residues, thus changing it's morphology.  These phosphorylated tyrosine residues on IRS then chemically interact with Src homology domains (SH2)on a number of other signaling proteins. This then starts the cascade of reactions which activates the PI3 kinase pathway, Grb-2, ERK phosphorylation, etc which ends up activating the GLUT transporter, which binds glucose and translocates it across the membrane.  \nGood luck on your exam


Is it safe to find hot guys on a site like this? http://hot-match.shagdr.com ... Is it safe to use inter net personals? are hot guys looking on site like that :) I'm 22 - 5'1 Blond average looking.. real shi, I never get dates :( I'm lost :(

sure can, I met my husband online. : )\njust have common sense and be safe: talk online for as long as it takes you to be comfortable, don't be pressured into meeting before you are. A nice guy (much more important than a hot guy, BTW) will understand your wanting to be cautious. when you do meet in person, meet in public in a place with lots of people.


the pitching is good they have good bats also

nope.  They aren't even one of the two best teams in their division (much less baseball), so eventually they will fade.  Their pitching is sucpect big-time.


i'm starting in the fall and i got some finance help but i honestly need more so next year what should i do to get the most i can possible get from financial aid?

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.\n\nDo a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc.  Left-handed?  There is a scholarship out there for you!  Older woman returning to school?  There are scholarships out there for you.  Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.\n\nGo to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

I admit I don't know much about computers, but I do run ad-aware, spybot and an antivirus program and also clean out my cookies and defrag. Am I doing something wrong?

i'd say it's your RAM. no other good solution except to buy a new one. but i do have a slightly improving solution (but far from as good as buy a new RAM). go to control panel, open the system, and click the performance tab.\n\ncheck the "adjust for the performance" and click "apply". DON'T click on the "ok" button first. click on "advanced" tab.\nin the "virtual memory" section, click change.\n\nincrease the seize of the paging. this won't be a problem if you have a lot of free space on your hard disk. this be will added up to your physical memory(RAM) as a virtual memory. it will not be as fast as physical RAM, but will at least increase your computer's speed. click "ok" and that's it...

I am A NEW MEMBER IN THE CHOIR AND WAS SET IN ALTO PART, BUT MY VOICE GOT CRACKED AFTER ONE OR TWO SONGS; IT WOULD SEIZED AND I CANT SING WELL AGAIN. HOW CAN I TRAIN MY VOICE TO RESPECT songs?

First and foremost you should get a voice teacher. There is no real way to judge what is wrong unless you can actually hear it. it is possible that you are pushing to hard or trying to belt and that could cause you to lose your voice. if you are feeling pain then you are doing something wrong. As far as singing scales, that is a good warmup, but don't start whispering. That's just lunacy. Start at the middle of your range and work up and then work down. But don't push. Again if you feel pain at all or any tension in your throat then your not doing it right. Sing from your stomach not from your throat.\n\nOh and it is possible your not an alto...but a voice teacher could help clarify that for you.

both of us are in different realtionship we both have very strong feeliongs for each other in fact we still love each  other and i dont feel like this with the guy that i am with right now but sometimes i fell that he is just using me for sex what should i do?

Neither of you should be in different relationships and still hold feelings for one another. Why did you get into other relationships if you had feelings towards one another.\n\nAlso a relationship which is only based on sex is only doomed for destruction.\n\nYou both should really level headedly decide once and for all what you really want else you're going to hurt others too along with yourselves.\n\nHope this helps you in making the right decisions.\n\nTake care.

You would need to disect the polygon into two shapes.  A triangle and a rectangle.  Figure the volume of those individual pieces and then add them together.


i need some advice to approach this , do you have any suggesstions on any medicines.

I think I understand you correctly, but I'm not sure.  You knocked her up, & now you want to make her miscarry?  If that's the case, I don't know what to tell you.  If a woman doesn't want to carry the kid, she can abort it.  If she doesn't want to abort it, but neither of you want to be saddled with that responsibility, she can put it up for adoption.  However, if you don't want to be stuck with it, you're essentially screwed.  You have no legal recourse to make her get rid of a baby.  Don't feel obligated to get married because she might be pregnant, though.  Oldest trick in the book.  You should stop having sex with her now, & insist on a paternity test.  Then, if she has the kid, & proves it is yours, the courts will make you take responsibility for the kid & pay child support without having to marry her.  Then, if you want visitation, you could go to court & set up a schedule, but otherwise, you can let her raise the child as she sees fit, & fulfill your financial obligation.  But first, make sure she is pregnant, & make sure it is your kid.  Never marry some girl because she says she's pregnant.  This may come as a shock, but she could be lying to you.  People do lie, & women have lied about being pregnant to get a husband for a long time.  Don't allow yourself to be forced into something you aren't ready for & don't want to do.  Pay for your mistake, if you truly made it, but don't put the kid through having a dad at home who resents the hell out of its mom for trapping him in a marriage he didn't want.  Just send the checks.  If you marry her without the paternity test, or send payments without proof it is yours, the law where you are may say you're screwed anyway because you took responsibility for the kid.  Tread carefully, & good luck.

Is water therapy the answer to all ailments? Ive been on it for 3 weeks but some prevailed me from continuing the therapy since fluid retention may cause high blood pressure. i used to take hypertensive drugs but have been stopped by my doctor as blood pressure has stabilized. My friend who introduced me to water therapy said that it is for life as our body needs water to cleanse us from all sorts of ailments..by the way, im 55 years old and lately have been having joint pains in the hands..hoping this therapy will ease the discomfort.  I do exercise but taking 1.5 liters of water in 10 minutes every morning is another hope for me to get me out of these joint pains..please help me clarify my doubts on water therapy..thank you

The following fusion reaction takes place in the sun and furnishes much of its energy:\n, where is a positron. How much energy is released as 1kg of hydrogen is consumed? The masses of 1H, 4He, and are, respectively, 1.007825, 4.002604, and 0.000549 u, where atomic electrons are included in the first two values\n\nI do it by finding the difference of mass between the parent nucleus and daughter nucleus and multiply with 931.5MeV. The answer I got is 25.708MeV,which is actually different with the given answer, 6 x 10^14 J. Why?\nWhich part I have done wrongly?

you have found only the energy being liberated per nuclear reaction \nthe uestion is for you to find energy produced when you use a Kg of Hydrogen \nmultiply the answer by the number of hyrogen atoms\nwhich can be found by using the avogadro constant\ni.e the fact that a gram of a substance has 6.023*(10^23)atoms\nor a Kg of a substance has 6.023*(10^26) atoms \nSince 4 H atoms are being consumed to get 25.7MeV multiply your answer by \n6.023*(10^23)/4 \nalso convert from MeV to joules in the end

My two grand-sons play on the same team.  While they and others are playing, they are under a lot of stress to perform for the coach and parents.  They get angry if they strike out or make an error.  What would happen it we took away the coaches and parents and let them play sandlot baseball for fun?

If you took away the coaches and parents you would not get a team,  but you would get a bunch of kids who will either have fun or fight like cats and dogs.  the whole purpose of baseball is for the kids to learn about the game and to learn structure and how to deal with pressure ,  I have made it my first priority for them to realize that fun is the name of the game and ,  if my kids arent having fun,  they do not need to play.

i think both compound will completely ionize in contact with water.\n\nHCL (g) + H2O (l) --> H30+(aq) + Cl-(aq)\n\nand\n\nHF (aq) + H2O(l) --> H30+(aq) + F-(aq)

During electrolysis, the oxygen atom in H20 has 2 pairs of unbonded electrons, and it is these electrons that act as "solvents" breaking the bond between atoms and attacking the postive ion that forms as a result.  So you can visualize a solution as islands of ions surrounded by water ions, with the extra electrons of oxygen surrounding the positive ions and the negative ions surrounded by the hydrogens of water.  \n\nA "strong" electrolyte is one that dissociates almost completely into ions i.e the water molecules break its bond and surround its ions easily.  HCl is a good example.  HF is an exception.  Since F is the element with the strongest electronegativity (4.0) it forms very strong bonds.  And, apparently, water molecules just don't have the ability to break the H-F bond, so very little of HF ionizes in water.    Talking about HF, it is one of the few compounds (and as far as I know, the only compound) that can attack glass (Si03) to form fluorosilicates.


Alright, i was wallking home after school with 2 of my friends. And these 2 chavs come up behind us and start spitting on my friend so he tries to defend himself verbally.\nThen they start kicking him and hitting him on the head very hard, then they start spitting on me, then start pulling my hair really really hard.\n  So we all stop and let them past because we dont want to be near them, and my friend is crying his eyes out...\nWe are smart enough not to start a fight, and guess what, they go to my school, not in my year, what should i do?

from:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Six\n\nMr. Six (also known as The Ambassador of Fun) is an advertising character featured in a recent advertising campaign by the theme park chain Six Flags. Appearing as a bald, wrinkled old man wearing a tuxedo and thick-framed glasses, he invites stressed and over-worked people to Six Flags by pulling up in a retro-style bus and performing a wild dance to the Vengaboys song "We Like to Party". On YTMND, many sites were made comparing Mr. Six to Edgar Ray Killen, charged with the death of three civil rights workers. Six Flags threatened a lawsuit to anyone making such a comparison. Despite that, his theme song is still a symbol of racism on YTMND.\n\nTrue Identity\nThe identity of Mr. Six is revealed.\nDue to his spryness, it is believed he is played by a much younger actor or actress under heavy makeup and possibly a bald wig. Six Flags, however, has thus far refused to reveal the actor's identity. However, in February 2006, writer Paul Davidson revealed on his website [1] that Mr. Six was played by Danny Teeson, of Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. Further proof of this identification was found by Mark Evanier, using Google. He found a reference to Danny Teeson playing Mr. Six on the website for Professional Vision Care Associates. His name has since been replaced with "Mr Six" on the site. [2]\n\nIn November 29, 2005, Daniel Snyder took over Six Flags and on the very next day, announced the retirement of the ad campaign. Snyder says that Mr. Six was "pointless". Mr. Six and the "It's Playtime!" motto will be scrapped and Six Flags' next ad campaign would be called "Clean, Safe, Fun".


used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, such as respiratory tract infections, middle ear infections, and skin infections — was created by Filipino scientist Abelardo Aguilar, and has earned American drug giant Eli Lilly billions of dollars. Neither Aguilar nor the Philippine government received royalties.

Actually Abelardo Aguilar only sent in a soil sample (see below) as follows:\n\n"Abelardo Aguilar, a Filipino scientist, sent some soil samples to his employer Eli Lilly in 1949. Eli Lilly’s research team, led by J. M. McGuire, managed to isolate Erythromycin from the metabolic products of a strain of Streptomyces erythreus found in the samples. The product was subsequently launched in 1952 under the brand name Ilosone® (after the Philippine region of Iloilo where it was originally collected from). Erythromycin was formerly also called Ilotycin®. In 1981, Nobel laurate (1965 in chemistry) and Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) Robert B. Woodward and a large team of researchers reported the first stereocontrolled asymmetric chemical synthesis of Erythromycin A."\n\nSo in essence most of the credit goes to Robert B. Woodward and a large team of researchers and Eli Lilly’s research team, led by J. M. McGuire!


In a hot dog eating contest... who wins\n\nand why?

Barry Bonds would win because the Babe is dead, but if they were both in their prime the Babe would win by a lot.


the charge was a misdeameanor for possession.

A lot of applications just ask if 'you have ever been convicted of a felony'.  They just have problems hiring convicted felons.\n\nA lot of people have little smudges on their records, most employers don't waste time on little things.\n\nBut they could, if they wanted to.
