The question is.......how many licks does it take to get to you?

I have an offer with an organisation whose locality which I came to know through the internet is very near (<5kms)to uranium ore containing mines. Though,the mining has not started I wanted to know whether it is safe living near a radioactive ore field. also I would like to know whether there is radioactivity in all the water supplies especially potatable water and is it safe to consume radioactive water even at that minimal levels. kindly answer me\nthanks in advance

Don't worry, Uranium plants in the U.S. emit less radiation than coal plants because of the strict safety regulations set upon them. If you are unsure, you can ask the mining company to provide a detailed account of measurements of the radioactive emissions by the plant.


every person has a problem, but how do i deal with it? \ni had enough of it..... i must find answers to people...

What are the problems?  Being vague is a problem in itself.  Some people have a hard time relating what is really on their mind and all the BS in the world can't help them.  Do yourself a favor and vent somehow.

The computer is only 5 months old but ever since I put itunes and 10 or 11 GB of music on it's been painfully slow.  Total memory is 60 GB so no where near full.  What can I try?

Check your free hard disk space, check the system for viruses and spy-ware. Clean up all of your temp files, check the programs that are being loaded automatically (Start up), Defrag your hard disk. If no solution this far, you have to diagnose your hard drive. In Dell computers, when you power up your computer and you see the Dell Logo, press CTRL+D immediately, and you'll have a Hard Disk Diagnostic, you'll have to try this a couple of times to get it, because it's a little hard to get it just in time.\nIf you have an error code here, it means you have to change your hard drive. If it passes, then you don't have to replace it.\nHope this helps.


it pops up all the time it doesnt matter where i am on the web

You might be having spyware on your machine.\n\nFirst use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.\nAlso chuck Internet Explorer and switch to Mozilla Firefox!


I am a realtor and have tons a forms to fill out with each deal. I already have one for contracts, I am looking for software that will allow me to make custom forms. Ideally, I would like to be able to type to buyer/seller info one time and then have the forms filled in automatically. Any ideas?

The BEST way is to have one parent speak one language, and the other parent speak the other until the child is old enough to comprehend that they are speaking two languages.  For example, the mother speaks ONLY Spanish around the child, and the father speaks ONLY English.  It helps the child differentiate between the two and avoids confusion.


I am soooooo bored w/ reality shows and half a**ed thought out shows!!!  So how many of you agree??  Or disagree??  And why?

You've just been watching the wrong shows.


you have to use instinct, there is no clear rules that states what the expressions must look like (except if the problem insist you on giving the answer in a specific form). \n\nPerhaps one of the guidelines is make variables that have same indices grouped into one. So x + 3x becomes 4x, group them out don't leave them straying.


the rest of the qustion is :management must take to ensure 24 hour trading

That depends on whether or not you graduated high school, or if you have a GED.  The Army will take high school grads with a minimum score of 28, sometimes.  You can safely say that the minimum for the Army, USMC, and USN is 31 and the USAF is 40 (as of 2000).  Please note that these score requirements are subject to change, and may have since I was a recruiter.\n\nThat, however, doesn't tell you what job you qualify for.  The main score on the ASVAB is known as the General Technical (GT) score.  That's the overall score of your test, and focuses on math and English.  Within the test, there are a variety of sections that test your vocational knowledge and learn-ability.  The Army breaks these down into 10 different sections, the Air Force into 4 sections, and I don't know what the USN and USMC break it down into.  It's THESE sections that determine what jobs you qualify for.  These test scores show your knowledge and trainability.  \n\nHope this helps.


I have a cd burner but heard there is a program where you can record dvds with a cd burner is there a special program or can i download it on the web for free if so what is the website

You may already have the software to make a VCD (video CD) if your burner came with Nero or EZCD Creator.\n\nWhat you have to do is to have the DVD re-encoded to VCD format. Once burnt, it will then play more like a VHS tape since you will lose many of the DVD features.\n\nAt VideoHelp.com (1) you will find links to tutorials that will teach you the different steps using multiple programs.\n\nSuperDVD Ripper might be simpler (2) It looks like one bit of software does it all. Here's what their Website says:\n" Super DVD Ripper software can also  copy DVD to VCD or SVCD, so to backup dvd movie to cdr discs thus no DVD burner is required,  direct burning to CD which can be played in your DVD player! Super DVD Ripper is a good dvd copy software to backup DVD."\n\nThey have a free trial download to get you started.

I want to drop 5kg or more and give me some advices -what can i do?what can you preffer -is better a green tea and how much?

Ok take this sincere advice, and just DO IT ... it will work:\n\nTry to go to gym three times a week ... could be for weight lifting.\nDrop most carbohydrate food like Koshari or French panes and large amount of Rice.\nStart to avoid (gradually decrease) sweet food and large amount of sugars in hot drinks like in tea and coffee.\nTry to replace unhealthy food with more healthy one:\nEat much grapefruit.\nEat whole grain bread (Eish Senn)\nEat as much assorted salad as possible (Salad works wonder. It fills stomach giving false feeling of fullness).\n\nAbout green tea ... It is good but it will not work wonders if you didn't change your lifestyle.\nGreen tea is available in Egypt at cheap prices. Some herb stores (Etara) have loose packing (selling them in kilos). Also there is a pack called (The Temple) (Al-Maabad) which is on sale in many supermarkets.


I'm Christian, but I really liked the Da Vinci Code, I have the greatest respect for Muslims, and I'm one of the biggest Harry Potter fans out there. I hate it when I'm boxed into a category, and it's insulting when people say things like "Christians are prejudiced against other beliefs" or "Why are all the Christians in an uproar about....?".\n\nPoint: There are more liberal Christians out there than there are fanatics. It's just that fanatics talk trash louder and more often.

Because they are too lazy and closed minded to actually think things through properly.\n\nMost people would rather plaster a tag on everyone that actually consider the fact that we are all individuals.\n\nSomeone answered a question under religion by saying Christians are lazy and sheep-like, but the truth is that many non-Christians are just the same, they'll follow the crowd rather than making up their own mind.  God created us as free-thinking individuals on purpose, and while some say it backfired by allowing evil to enter the world, the fact is that God has many many followers all over the world who have all chosen to follow him, rather than just blindly allowing themselves to follow the crowd.


how to climping to the lan cabels plase send the answers

Is there any laws that say how far ahead your employer must post the schedule or anything along those lines?

There are no laws on things like this. It's an open capitalist economic system. All emplyers basically set their own guidelines outside of polution and safety.


She says she likes me. She just doesn't feel ready to jump into anything and needs time. So what do I do? How long should I give her? Do I sit back and take a chance on losing her interest or do I keep in touch with her and take a chance on looking too pushy and not listening to her needs? this is a very touchy subject that I HAVE TO GET RIGHT! I think i'm falling for this girl WAY TOO HARD!\n\nI need help!\n\nThanks!!

The best thing you can do in this situation, is to take a step back, and wait. It appears you're pressing the issue too hard, and you have her a little threatened by your persistence. Leave it alone for a few days. It's obvious you're not going to care less, but it might give her a chance to see you're an all right guy that she would like to spend some time with. Good Luck!


I'm considering buying these 4 books and I wanted to know if they are really worth the money.\n1. Sun Tzu the Art of Warfare\n2. Niccolo Machiavelli The Prince\n3. Dale Carnegie How to win friends and influence people\n4. Napoleon Hill Think and Grow rich\nare these books good for people who want to be an entrepernuer in the future? and do you know of any other books that I may want to check out

The Prince is a classic book on modern political thought; not necessarily a business book. While a little archaic, it can give you pointers on how to become a leader (ok, even a ruthless leader) and how to gain and hold on to power. This was the book found under the bed of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Machiavelli was the proponent of the "the end justifies the means" thinking. Some of his other nuggets of wisdom include "be close to your friends, but keep your enemies closer." Certainly good for conflict resolution, preservation of company, and others.\n\nAll of the books you've listed are must-reads. Though I would think that Napoleon Hill's books are more applicable even today. In fact, if you're only going to read one, go for Hill's book. It's not about discourse on the importance of state, but more about your changing your mindset and redirecting it towards success. This is the book that helps you take charge of your financial life as it gives an excellent formula for attaining success. The examples in the book are old (afterall it was published in the 1930s), but they are relevant even today. \n\nI would say buy Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow rich book.\n\nBut if you want to be an entrepreneur, there are several books that excellent and can give you concrete ideas on how to start your business:\n\n- What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business: Real Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1574101129/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid \n- If You're Clueless About Starting Your Own Business and Want to Know More  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1574100939/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid \n- Start Your Own Business : The Only Start-Up Book You'll Ever Need  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1891984217/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid \n- Steps to Small Business Start-Up : Everything You Need to Know to Turn Your Idea into a Successful Business http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1574101323/ref=nosim/powerhomebizguid


So much stuff in the bible is coming true, from the tsunami's to the antichrist (Bush) to the war in Iraq. Do you think this is it?

Perhaps not for quite the same reasons that you do, but yes, I do think we are living in the last days of this system of things. You are correct...there are a great many Bible prophesies coming true as we speak.


Anyone know why? I have know clue, but would like to know.  Also does anyone know which type of plastic doesn't absorb UV light?

I would assume b/c the glass is less porous and so easier to clean. You need the plates to be super clean for the acrylamide gels so that you get the pour right and so that you don't get bubbles.

me and my fiance are getting married in october, in spain, but my Dad and Step Mum won't come. Should i forget about it or push the subject with them?

The most important thing to be concerned about is you and your soon to be wife. If your parents don't want to come I would leave it alone and move on to concentrating on your wedding. My husband and I have been married for 7 years and have been together for 12 years and one thing we have learned is that you can not base your marriage on what other people do or don't do, say or feel and whatever else. Bottom line is to keep communicate with each other and decide together what to do or don't do. If your parents have decided for whatever reason not to be a part of your new beginning, even though it may hurt, accept it and don't let it take away from what you and your soon to be wife are about to experience together.

I quess they could remain concious for a short while and that death would not be instant. I undrstand one victim after they said "Behold the head of a trator" replied "You lie"

5 to 10 seconds:\n\nAnatomists and other scientists in several countries have tried to perform more definitive experiments on severed human heads as recently as 1956. Inevitably the evidence is only anecdotal. What appears to be a head responding to the sound of its name, or to the pain of a pinprick, may be only random muscle twitching or automatic reflex action, with no awareness involved. At worst, it seems that the massive drop in cerebral blood pressure would cause a victim to lose consciousness in 5-10 seconds.\n\nAudiences to guillotinings told numerous stories of blinking eyelids, moving eyes, movement of the mouth, even an expression of "unequivocal indignation" on the face of the decapitated Charlotte Corday when her cheek was slapped.

My daughter is going to a Bar Mitvah of a classmate she doesn't know well. He is from a wealthy family here in Tokyo (and we're not) Any idea of something to buy and how much to spend. Isn't there something about multiples of nine or something like that?

Of course, there is the old standby, cash.  Any amount is always welcome. But you might want to consider doing something with more meaning,(and you say your family is not wealthy.)\nFor example, a donation  of time to a charity/cause in the boy's honor. Your daughter could do a few hours of community service and get a certificate from the organization and present it to the boy. "In honor of John's Bar Mitvah, Jane has donated 3 hours of her time at the Local Soup Kitchen."  But most kids aren't that altruistic and really want a gift.\nConsider movie passes from your local theater and include popcorn and soda. Kids love movies in the summer time. Passes to the local Natural History Museum, membership at your zoo for his family. Is there a school/class project from this past year that you could build upon. Did they take a class trip? Books about the area or a giant map of The United States.  Did they work on a year long activity? A science/chemistry kit.\n\nBut before you make yourself too crazy about a gift, please remember that the Bar Mitvah marks the passage from boyhood to manhood. Granted, the event often times is reduced to a gaudy show of wealth, but you and your daughter can give a gift that echos the true sentiment of the event. Something from the heart that will impress the Bar Mitvah boy as he grows into a man.\nGood Luck


my tummy grew big after i gave birth to my second child due to lack of exercise on my part.also i feel so lazy about exercising but i know av gotta do it becausei am overweight now

Sounds like you already no the solution.  Diet and exercise.  The hardest part is having the will to do it.  Too bad all of the eye catching magazine articles promising to hold the secret to a better stomach don't mention that will power is what the 90% of the population that won't have a six pack is missing.


A person signed in as Juscogens answered my previous question about immigration and my daughter-in-law and said we couldn't sue the Consulate because of this doctrine.  My son spoke to the INS yesterday and he said an error was made on my daughter-in-law as he saw no reason for her denial at all for entry into our country for permanent residency.  He is the one that told my son the only way to correct it as there is no appeal system in the INS was to have a politician get involved on our behalf or sue the Consulate, which he says many people do. Juscogens said that Connie Mack has been retired for awhile, sorry but that is wrong as he is the one working with us but so far no luck.  Thanks for the answers and suggestions, we need all the help we can get right now and she definitly has done everything right so far and both Macks and INS office agrees, but once a mistake has been made by government it is hard to correct apparently..................

Is Jesus the creator of all? If so, then was he not given birth to by Mary? If so, does that not mean that he came after the creation of the universe and a couple of billion years of creation? Then how does that make him the creator? I'm not christian, but I was looking at a website and they claimed Jesus to be the creator of the universe, and after thinking about it, I was just confused more.

In many verses of the Glorious Qur'an Allah the Exalted denied the claim of the Christians that He has a son. A delegation from Nagran came to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). They began to talk about their claim about the Trinity, which is that Allah is three in one, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with some disagreement among their sects. That is why Allah affirmed in many verses of the Qur'an that Isa is a slave of Allah, whom He molded in the womb of his mother like any other of His creatures, and that He created him without a father, as He created Adam without a father or a mother.\n\nAllah the Almighty said: Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above the Alamin (mankind and jinns)(of their times). Offspring, one of theo other, and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.\n\nRemember when the wife of Imran said: "O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this, from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All Knowing."\n\nThen when she delivered her (child Maryam), she said: "O my Lord! I have delivered a female child," and Allah knew better what she delivered, - "and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast."\n\nSo her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zechariah. Every time he entered Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), he found her supplied with sustenance.\n\nHe said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?"\n\nShe said: "From Allah. Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit." ( 3:33-37 Quran)\n\nAllah declared that He had elected Adam (pbuh) and the elite of his offspring who obey Allah. Then He specified the family of Ibrahaim (pbuh), which includes the sons of Ismail (pbuh), and the family of Imran, the father of Maryam.\n\nMuhammad Ibn Is'haaq stated that he was Imran Ibn Bashim, Ibn Amun, Ibn Misha, Ibn Hosqia, Ibn Ahriq, Ibn Mutham, Ibn Azazia, Ibn Amisa, Ibn Yamish, Ibn Ahrihu, Ibn Yazem, Ibn Yahfashat, Ibn Eisha, Ibn Iyam, Ibn Rahba am, Ibn David (Dawud).\n\nProphet Zakariyah's (pbuh) wife's sister had a daughter named Hannah. She was married to Imran, a leader of the Israelites. For many years, the couple remained childless. Whenever Hannah saw another woman with a child, her longing for a baby increased. Although years had passed, she never lost hope. She believed that one day Allah would bless her with a child, on whom she would shower all her motherly love.\n\nShe turned to the Lord of the heavens and the earth and pleaded with Him for a child. She would offer the child in the service of Allah's house, in the temple of Jerusalem. Allah granted her request. When she learned that she was pregnant, she was the happiest woman alive, and thanked Allah for His gift. Her overjoyed husband Imran also thanked Allah for His mercy.\n\nHowever, while she was pregnant her husband passed away. Hannah wept bitterly. Alas, Imran did not live to see their child for whom they had so longed. She gave birth to a girl, and again turned to Allah in prayer: "O my Lord, I have delivered a female child," and the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and her offspring from Satan, the outcast." (3:36 Quran)\n\nHannah had a big problem in reference to her promise to Allah, for females were not accepted into the temple, and she was very worried. Her sister's husband Zakariyah, comforted her, saying that Allah knew best what she had delivered and appreciated fully what she had offered in His service. She wrapped the baby in a shawl and handed it over to the temple elders. As the baby was a girl, the ques


Every american likes to metion Mexicans as to latinos. This country is filled with Salvadorians, Guatemalens and south americans. Not just mexicans.

I find it interesting that you say that "Americans" are the ones calling mexicans latinos. I don't know any "Americans" that do. Actually, I find that most mexicans, especially the younger ones, call themselves "Latino" or "Latina".

where are the stars of the tv show blossom

Ted Wass has probably been busiest since leaving Blossom, but behind the camera rather than in front. You will see his name as director of numerous sitcoms.


i love Adriano Moraes and  hope he winsthis years title and also very sad that RobSmets is leaving after finals(professional bull riding) for those of ya  who dont know

Jody Newberry, he definatly doesn't get the eight seconds prettily (i made that word up) but he gets it done regardless. (Rob Smets leaving- I know, that's so sad.)


Underneath my crossed off name was the name Alice... Should I be worried?

The outbreak is in a non-sexual area.  Are there many people out there experiencing this and how could this happen?  I always thought it was from a tanning bed....is this a possibility? Any ideas on what causes frequent outbreaks while taking daily medication?

Herpes infects the sacral ganglia nerves, so you can get an outbreak anywhere from the waist down, though the boxer short area is the most common.\n\nYou didn't get this from a tanning bed.  You got this from sexual contact.\n\nIf you are on daily meds, and still getting frequent obs, you should check with your doc to make sure nothing else is going on, like another std or yeast or bacterial vaginosis.  You might also need to go to a higher dose.\n\nCheck out the websites I have listed.  They are so helpful.  On the racoon one, go to the support forums.  All are free.  :)


I've been with my husband 4 yrs now. He is a great husband other than his drinking problem. He dosen't abuse me in any way, it's just his attitude problem. I think it has to do with his drinking. He tells me I'm the problem, that I have an attitude problem. But if he gives me one I give it back to him. He says he drinks because he's not happy. He says he loves me but he's unhappy because of the BIG house pymt we have. And that because I have him by the balls, that cause I don't let him do sh**. He tells me that before I would give him sh** because he was out with his friends drinking, that now he stays home that to at least let him drink at his house. But I can't stand his attitude, do I have patience or what can I do? I really love him but I don't have the prefect word to tell him so he can understand what I feel without getting him upset.

dear,\ni have been(in a way I'm still) for 5 years with a man who had, more or less, the same problem.I told me that he cannot be happy if he was going out and not drinking . So...when we were out with a group of friends, after a while the alcohol was more important than me.\nI don't remember how many times I left a place alone, leaving him there already drunk.\nThe point is: do u deserve this?\nNo darling, u deserve much more than a stupid man who cannot be happy without his drinking!find a man who is there for you!


errrrrrr Oxygen, hence rusting is stricly called oxidisation.  But perhaps you should inform your questioner that Water is actually made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, therefore some of the answers are obsolete.\n\nThink about the fact that metalwork inside a waterproofed building goes rusty as well as that outside.


This is a question for thirty-somethings k!

I was four and a half when it came out and saw it probably 3 times that summer. \n\nI DON'T recall being frightened at all by Darth Vader. He was just too clean and shiny and robotic looking (although the crunchy sound of him choking Capt. Antilles' at the very beginning was a tad upsetting at the time). \n\nI DO recall being a bit freaked out by the Sand People, who jumped out and attacked Luke. I also remember being a bit freaked out by the Jawas who jumped out and attacked R2-D2 (although these were more instance of being startled than actually scared). \n\nThe only character I can honestly remember being frightened by was the creature in the trash compactor - I believe it's called a Dianoga. The whole scene was just really freaky, with Luke being pulled under the water by this slimy tentacle and then popping up completely ensnared in even more tentacles. \n\nIt frightened me and it grossed me out. \n\nHOWEVER, I got over it quickly. By the time the action figures came out many months later, I was using green pipe cleaners to "pull Luke under" everytime I found a puddle of water to play in. \n\nGreat fun.\n\nP.S. When The Empire Strikes Back came out in 1980 and you got a glimpse of Vader's crusty head in his chamber, THAT freaked me out.

What does this mean, and what is the origin?  Thanks.

It is attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette of France, married to Louis XVI, guillotined both of them during the French Revolution.\n\nPeople quote her as saying it when she was told that the people didn't have enough bread to eat, to show how heartless and out of touch with the plight of the common subject she was. It was propaganda which proved very useful in bringing her to her ultimate death.\n\nTaken in context, the remark isn't nearly as callous, however. "Cake" was not what we think of as cake--a delicacy or a fancy dessert. No, instead, it was another form of starch, more akin to our cornbread. It was coarser than regular bread, cost less to make and to buy, and was generally consumed by the lower classes.  So when Marie Antionette was told that the people had no finely ground, white flour bread to eat, her reply that they could eat cake, was not so horrible after all. In fact, they COULD eat cake of that type. They just craved the finer, higher quality bread.\n\nNow for another "take on the cake" look at this site:\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_334.html\n\nDear Cecil:\n\nDid the French queen, Marie Antoinette, ever actually utter the phrase, "Let them eat cake"? I have a friend who claims that Crazy Marie actually said something in French that, in phonetic spelling, merely sounded like "Let them eat cake." Is the line in a class with Humphrey Bogart's "Play it again, Sam"--i.e., bogus? --Willie H., Chicago\n\nDear Willie:\n\nI have a dream that someday one of these alleged facts of history is actually going to pan out. However, today is not the day. While Marie Antoinette was certainly enough of a bubblehead to have said the phrase in question, there is no evidence that she actually did so, and in any case she did not originate it. The peasants-have-no-bread story was in common currency at least since the 1760s as an illustration of the decadence of the aristocracy. The political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau mentions it in his Confessions in connection with an incident that occurred in 1740. (He stole wine while working as a tutor in Lyons and then had problems trying to scrounge up something to eat along with it.) He concludes thusly: "Finally I remembered the way out suggested by a great princess when told that the peasants had no bread: 'Well, let them eat cake.'" \n\nNow, J.-J. may have been embroidering this yarn with a line he had really heard many years later. But even so, at the time he was writing--early 1766--Marie Antoinette was only ten years old and still four years away from her marriage to the future Louis XVI. Writer Alphonse Karr in 1843 claimed that the line originated with a certain Duchess of Tuscany in 1760 or earlier, and that it was attributed to Marie Antoinette in 1789 by radical agitators who were trying to turn the populace against her.\n\nAs for your friend's suggestion, I suppose it's possible that one day, while under the influence of powerful hallucinogens, Marie said Le theme est quete ("The theme is quest"), and was overheard by an English-speaking tourist--thus giving rise, as your friend suggests, to the "Let them eat cake" legend. But frankly I doubt it.\n\nLET THEM EAT POT SCRAPINGS\n\nDear Cecil: \n\nThank you for so nobly coming to the defense of the much-maligned Marie Antoinette, just as you did a few years ago with the equally vilified Catherine the Great. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story ...\n\nAt the time that whoever-she-was uttered the infamous quotation "let them eat cake," the word "cake" did not refer to the familiar dessert item that the modern-day French call le gateau. The operative term was brioche, a flour-and-water paste that was "caked" onto the interiors of the ovens and baking pans of the professional boulangers of the era. (The modern equivalent is the oil-and-flour mixture a

I have a Lexar JumpDrive that won't work on any computer I plug it into.  When I plug it in, nothing happens.  I've tried 4 different computers now, same thing on each one.

You didn't say which operating system you are trying it on. Windows XP has the driver built in but earlier versions need to have the driver installed. You can download a driver from the Lexar Website free of charge.

Is it true time puts the dampeners on your sex life? I know a couple who wait 2-3 months in between sex, after 16 years. Is that the norm?

Not normal to me and I've been with my husband for almost 20 years. To each their own though. I have a friend that only has sex when she wants to have a baby and thinks that this is the only time they need to have any intimate contact. Funny world sometimes.


America used to be about rewarding hard working americans, I am a hard working american with a disability and have worked very hard to achieve what I have, and have never been on disability and probably should have since I was 13 because of a controversial accident, the problem is I am very proud of hat I have achieved, and I have enimies that are lazy and didn't put the hours in that I did, and the do thingz because of my past success, is there anyway to keep these punks out of my business and personell life?

americans are still hard working. they work 2 jobs. unfortunately, they have bad values. death penalty, healthcare, imperialism, overly religious, homophobic, racist.

Sex is dirty.....\nViolence is OK......\n\nSounds about right. What do you think?

Yes.\n\nWhy is that?\n\nI see parents all the time get bent out of shape because a couple is making love on TV but when it comes to the bloodiest violence, it's just fine to watch.\n\nWhat gives?


say, the guy is decent looking and pretty friendly. he's not a smooth operator, but he looks kinda nice, harmless and he's different race from you.

That depends, if you are underage, I would start with something like e-mail address or instant messaging service.  You can always block him out if he is a jerk.  Even as an adult, I've done that sometimes with guys that seem nice but I don't know all THAT well.\n\nAlso, introduce him to someone you know.  People who have bad intentions generally get creeped out if your friends and family know they exist.  I know I seem like I'm a little paranoid but I've studied criminal justice and I've met females (adults, teens, and preteens) victimized by guys who "seemed nice".  \n\nAnother suggestion is to say something like "my friends and I are going to the movies (or whatever) on a Friday at 7.  You can meet us there and we can hang out."  There is always safety in numbers and it is a less obvious way of bringing him around people you know.\n\nThis is not to say that you shouldn't make some sort of contact with him, there are a lot of truly nice guys out there.  However, do not give him too much personal information too soon.    Take precautions.


i hope you get to tell me all about you im dieing to knowim me a boggiegirl_1 if you want to know about me

After 5 years of being a low-level corporate drone (though making a decent salary), I decided I was ready for a change. My husband and I bought a house in a new state and both got part-time jobs, while working on our real estate licenses.  Just recently, my husband accepted an outside sales job that will give him the stability of a full-time job, but the flexibility of a part-time job. I haven't been so lucky. Today I was offered a chance at a full-time job. I'm confused about whether or not to accept it. I have another 3 months before I have to start chipping away at my nest egg &  the real estate exam is in August.  I'd like to keep working part-time until I take the exam, but what if I don't pass it? Plus there is still the matter of actually finding a job with a broker and even then, sales are not guaranteed. Jobs in my field are limited out here so I'm afraid to pass up the opportunity. However, when I left my last job, I swore to never return to the rat race. What would you do?

Assuming your trying to avoid a rat race: take the full time position and find out if you like it. Keep working towards the Real Estate License. Part time work is easier to replace than a full time job you may end up liking. \n\nReal Estate will not be an escape from the rat race. You will have more demands on you in Real Estate. Maybe use your license to work toward appraising Real Estate. While making a full time living work at discovering what you love. \n\nTo help you I would recommend you use the Strength Finder Center.

The Mexican Army went to Texas and Louisiana to help KAtrina's victims. I think rednecks don't take this into account because most victims weren't white.

Did they leave when they were done?  \nthen good, they are not illegal, they are Mexican citizens living in Mexico.  Good for them.  Why didn't they take the illegal aliens who are working in New Orleans back with them?


When I travel i normally bring my notebook, vonage adapter and quite often my wife. Some hotels charge for each wireless connection made. In the past when hotel still have hardwired connection I would bring a wireless router to connect all those devices. Is there a way to connect those devices to a wireless network without incurring charges. Someone suggested connecting a hub / router to a wireless gaming adapter and then connect the adapter to the hotels wireless network?

Connecting your laptop to a wireless network means your IP address is recorded and the session time too. Usually for the ones that charge you they give you a key so that they can track you. Using the gaming adapter won't bypass the system as the gaming adapter will have the ip address instead, and the IP address and session time will still be recorded. They will track it back down to you as you would probably be the only person not accounted for when they reconcile internet usage records.

... for the structure of the coven in the craft; thirteen members consisting of a master and twelve followers - can you suggest any other form that the coven might have been based on? - \nand please - \nno non-answers - if you don't have a constructive reply, don't bother

It's possible, but remember that Christ had 12 apostles because  traditionally Israel was composed of 12 tribes, one for each of the sons of Jacob.  It would be strange indeed for modern covens to base themselves on such a principle, which has no meaning for them.  More likely is that it comes from earlier pagan associations with the number thirteen, such as the Mayan belief that the Moon (a  powerful symbol in modern witchcraft) was once broken into thirteen pieces.  Also, Osiris was originally the Egyptian God of the moon (before he became the God of the Underworld).  When his brother, Set, killed him, he tore Osiris into 14 pieces.  Isis was only able to find 13 of the pieces, which she sewed back together before returning him to life.  So again, the moon is 13 pieces.

If u had 2 pick between havin' a party with your friends and a celebrity or a gay person? (It's a joke) Real question: (For gay ppl) A lot of ppl hate gay ppl because of what they do. They can have diseases, can't donate blood, and well is gross. So if u know the risks why are u gay?

i personally think that it's not our choice to choose whether we want to be gay or straight. It's merely the affection and the feelings that make us interested in same sex or opposite sex. And you know that feelings are very personal things yea ? And also, it's not that if a person is gay then he'll surely get all those diseases. It's about what we call 'safety precaution steps', everyone is being warned to have safe sex but not only for gays .. and one more thing is, i think some heterosexual ppl tends to be VERY annoying and gross too .. hope this helped to clarify things a bit for ya

if you could only get sex once a month, would you be happy with that when you have a strong sexual desire? what would you do no-matter how many talks you had with your partner and you seem like he ignores your interest in sex?

I was in a your exact position, and my advice to you is say bye to him.  I am also a very sexual person, and when my ex and I had very low amount of (like once ever couple of months) sex I tried to talk to him about it, he would ignore me as well.  So I tried to work it out regardless, and after three loooong years, it just had to end.  If you two do not have a satisfying sex life, it becomes a major issue.  It's not a matter of how many times  you have sex month, it weather or not you are both happy with it.  It sounds like you are not happy with the situation, just like I wasn't, and my self esteem went down year by year.  I felt like it was my fault that he didn't want sex, and it hurt.  In retrospect, I realize it was not my fault.  We just didn't click sexually, and even though we cared about each other, it wasn't enough to hold together a relationship.\n\nSo in brief, my answer to your question is, sex is not important as long as it is present in the relationship.  If it is absent, it becomes a major issue. If you have already tired to talk to him about it, and you feel like he is ignoring you, walk away.  You need to be with someone who understands  your needs and tries their best to fulfill them.


when he looks at other females... is he discreet?  do u get upset?

My BF looks and he is not subtle about it at all!!! It bothers me with him which is weird because it never bothered me with other guys. But I think it is because he is not subtle about it he cuts off in mid-sentence to look at some girl, I haven't figured a way around him looking or my jealousy over it. Sometimes I say outrageous things to get his attention but it hasn't worked so far. I think I will just buy him some dark sunglasses so at least  I won't notice as much.


Coloring can be a very relaxing way to get in touch with your "inner child". I wish I took time out to do it more. When I have, I experienced a calming peace that makes the cares of adult life go away.


Who do you think will replace Paul Tagliabue as NFL commissioner? Who do you think would do the best job?

I think Roger Goodell will succeed Paul Tagliabue as NFl Commissionner without a doubt. He is like Paul's right hand man. However, I think Rich McKay is capable of doing the best job because he is a very bright hands on guy that the players would respect.

What should I say? What are flirting techniques thats arrent over doing it?

Hey, come on! I don't wanna waste my time flirting with you. Let's go out, right now!  \n\nIf he's not ready give him 30 mins. to dress up.

I believe that television has become the main conduit through which people in America learn about the world, which is not only sad but scary since most Americans have never been to other countries or sought to find out about other cultures firsthand or by doing any real research.

I came here in 2002 to go to school I should be out of here by 2010..

A view I do not personally subscribe to.\nI have met several Americans who have visited other countries but have not attempted to just see the country as is. Instead they have somehow stretched and twisted the country to fit into their preconceived mold of what the country is or should be.\nSo yes the view of members of this country is shaped by what is seen on television but it depends greatly on them. It is a choice. You can choose to find the truth if you so desire or to accept whatever is given to you. \nBesides the US isn't the only one with this problem, it just appears a bit worse here.\nSome people who read this may think I've no right to say what I have said. Well that's your opinion. This is mine.


how many pounds sholud someone who is 13 and  about 5'5 weigh????

More important then just weight is your body mass. I'd reccomend using http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/Calculator.aspx to calculate your BMI to find if you are healthy or unhealthy rather then just basing your idea of fat on weight.


I don't have one...Too many good ones....

If they Do then it can cause Infertility and Cant have a baby in the future? Like i sometimes saw it on Porn,videos,mag they insert something inside like round wood,corn,cola bottle,eggplant etc.

masturbation is natural to all humans, it is actually safe and clean to do as long as you always keep it clean. Whatever you use to masturbate just make sure of the following things:\n1.- disinfect by cleaning it with special chemicals\n2.-nothing sharp\n3.-always under your own consent


Here is the except:\n\nNow, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32% approval rating. But guys like us; we don’t pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias.\n\n\nSo, Mr. President, pay no attention to the people that say the glass is half full. 32% means the glass -- it’s important to set up your jokes properly, sir. Sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half empty, because 32% means its 2/3 empty. There’s still some liquid in that glass is my point, but I wouldn’t drink it. The last third is usually backwash.

Comedians have been bashing politicians since there have been politicians. That's why the United States have freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Not just the freedoms to say what others want to hear, but the freedoms to speak from the head and from the heart.\n\nAnd now I choose to exercise my freedom: Bush is an idiot, this "war" is futile, and I miss the days when Clinton was getting something that our "president" couldn't handle. I would rejoice if I could get my glass back up to half full, kind of like ... oh yeah ... my GAS TANK !!!!


it seems to be the only thing that works..........

FFS don't go down that road, I was 4 stone at one time, I now have kidney damage and periods so bad I can't even walk without someone helping me.


68% of Americans are against the war in Iraq which means the American Military will "SOON" pull out. The troops will come home sometime in the next 8 to 18 months because that's what the American people want. The majority rules. So be it. I will say to you all. "I told you so".

Bush has a low approval rating. Very low. Bush and his type of people have caused the United States to be looked upon by the world as a terrible nation.


How much? and how long does it take 2 get it?

I see it being possible but not in 2006.

In all seriousness it is very possible for the suns to win. Steve Nash has a good bunch of productive years ahead of him and Amare will be putting fear into the hearts of men for many years to come (you don't get called the future of the NBA by Shaq for no reason). A couple trades here and there and some smart money moves could have them winning it all before 2010.

When someone has committed a crime and they get sent to prison but they were born a woman (vice versa)and had a sex change operation which unit would they stick them in? The mens unit or womens unit?

It depends on the laws of the country/ state.  After a pertson has undergone a sex change operation some countries recognise the fact legally.  The sex-changee has all the "rights" of the sex to which they have changed - so a man changing to a woman would go to a woman's prison as , in the eyes of the law, "she" is now a woman.  In other countries though _ I think the UK is one - you cannot ny law alter the sex on your birth certificate even though you have altered your body.  Sex changes are not recognised by the state.  If a man changes sex to a woman - his birth sex was male and therefore he has to go to a man's prison. That sounds like it would be pretty unformatable for the sedx-changee concerned - but I imagine they would have to go to a special wing if it ever occurred that a male to female sex change got sent to prison in such a country.

Highly suggest you talk with a good therapist. During that time and now realize what you want in life. Therapist will help. I have learned from (others/family) poor behavior. Use this as a TOOL! One can not make others happy. YOU need to find happiness within. I know nothing of your friends and where you live. I highly suggest... to continue having a friend is with respect to them. Your problems may get worse if "you" end relationship through aggressive behavior to your friends. Religious believing can wait. Just know there is someone to talk with during quite time alone. I do it all the time. It works. Many of my guestions have been answered. Stop asking yourself why to everything. Concentrate on what "type" of person others see in you. I have a clue possible Bio Polar in your family. Trust me. My life at one time was similar. Go to a therapist. Let them help you. Most of your questions will be answered.\nBest of luck!


I would be more then happy to help you with your book report.  But since you didn't tell us what book it was that you were supposed to be reading it tells me that you've already decided to just cheat instead.


I want to know what is the better choice for carrier if i m getting a small role in a big reputed MNC organisation and a bigger role in a small but reputed company.What is better for future carrier?Salary is almost same in both condition.

I would say the big position in the small company, it means you will gain more experience in a bigger role and will have that role on your future cv. You will also be in charge of bigger things/people. \nOn the other hand if you took the smaller role, because it is a big company there would be a greater chance of promotion!


Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973)[1], was a landmark United States Supreme Court case establishing that most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy, overturning all state laws outlawing or restricting abortion. It is one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. Supreme Court history.\n\nThe decision in Roe v. Wade prompted a decades-long national debate over whether terminating pregnancies should be legal (or more precisely, whether a state can deem the act illegal if it chooses to do so); the role of the Supreme Court in constitutional adjudication; and the role of religious views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade became one of the most politically significant Supreme Court decisions in history, reshaping national politics, dividing the nation into "pro-choice" and "pro-life" camps, and inspiring grassroots activism.\n\nOpposition to Roe comes primarily from those who viewed the Court's decision as illegitimate for straying too far from the text and history of the Constitution, and those possessing beliefs about the personhood of fetal human life.\n\nSupport for Roe comes from those who view the decision as necessary to preserve women's equality and personal freedom, and those who believe in the privacy of individual over collective rights, although the opposition to Roe often reference the privacy of the individual when referring to the unborn child.

That is on the video card. before you update the hardware, have you tried to install the latest drivers? (often times N-vidia will give the capability of better color options in newer drivers. Im sure ATI does the same thing)\n\nif not, find your make and model of your card and go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have the latest driver for your card and OS\n\n(note: you mentioned that you are on win 98. microsoft is set to end support for it in early july.)

Does it come from Thailand?  And what does it have to do with Twins?

DEFINITION:\nSiamese\n1. A native or inhabitant of Siam or Thai\n2. Closely connected or conjoined; twin\n3. Of or being a Y-shaped dual connection between two pipes or hoses and a larger pipe or hose\n4. a slender short-haired blue-eyed breed of cat having a pale coat with dark ears paws face and tail tip \n\n\nHISTORY & ORIGIN OF THE WORD\nSiamese \nis a word that originates from the southeast Asian country, Thailand. Thailand was also known as Siam, which was the country's official name until May 11, 1949. Thai or Siamese, is the official language of Thailand. \n\nSiamese Cat\nis known as one of the first distinctly recognised breeds of the Oriental feline family. It is a shorthaired cat of a breed developed in the Far East, having blue eyes and a pale fawn or gray coat with darker ears, face, tail, and feet and said to be descended from the sacred temple cats of Siam (now Thailand). Their Thai name is Wichien Maat.\n\nSiamese Twins \nis a term commonly used when either of a pair of identical twins born with their bodies joined at some point, a result of the incomplete division of the ovum from which the twins developed. The Siamese conjoined twins that pioneered the term were Chang and Eng Bunker (1811–1874), Chinese brothers born in Siam, which is now called now Thailand. Chang and Eng were joined by a band of cartilage at the chest.\n\nTypes of Siamese Twins:\n1. Thoracopagus: Bodies fused in the thorax. The heart is always involved in these cases; when the heart is shared, prospects for a long life, either with or without separation surgery, are poor. \n2. Omphalopagus: Joined at the lower chest. The heart is not involved in these cases but the twins often share a liver, digestive system, diaphragm and other organs. \n3. Xiphopagous: bodies fused in the xiphoid cartilage (i.e. Chang and Eng Bunker)\n4. Pygopagus: Joined, usually back to back, to the buttocks \n5. Cephalopagus: Heads fused, bodies separated. These twins cannot survive due to severe malformations of the brain. Also known as janiceps (after the two-faced god Janus) or syncephalus. \n6. Cephalothoracopagus: Bodies fused in the head and thorax. These twins cannot survive. \n7. Craniopagus: Skulls fused, but bodies separate. \n8. Craniopagus parasiticus': A second bodiless head attached to the head. \n9. Dicephalus: Two heads, one body with two legs and two, three, or four arms \n10. Ischiopagus: Anterior union of the lower half of the body, with spines conjoined at a 180° angle OR with the spines separate but both the pelvises forming a single big ring which includes two sacrums and two pubic symphyses. \n11. Ischio-omphalopagus: Twins are conjoined with spines in a Y-shape. They have four arms and usually two or three legs. These cases can be challenging because the twins often share reproductive and excretory systems. \n12. Parapagus: lateral union of the lower half extending variable distances upward, with the heart sometimes involved. \n13. Diprosopus: One head, with two faces side by side. \nIn some cases, parts of the brain have been known to be shared between conjoined twins joined at the head.

Whats more is that one of many, and im gonna choose one guy, 23 good healthy son, can work a good job and get somewhere in life, get caught for  running a methlab about 2 a month, spend 3 days in jail and out again, hes disabled?? get welfare of 1600 a month, and foodstamps of 745, nothing wriong with him, got 7 kids by 4 different girls, and claim taxes on half of them, ha ha, proud american? can u all see the marines in 10 years??, just my opinions from a country where people die of starvation

Can you be more specific? What question are you asking? If it is about a son who is 23, but is living on welfare and food stamps, while many young men are fighting for their country, remember he learned from the people who raised him, his values, his morals and his actions were taught.... \nNo where in any piece of literature does it say that life is fair. We all have to make choices. Instead of judging other peoples choices, perhaps we need to judge our own in order to better understand someone else's choice.


They don't play defense. I don't really care who wins, so that doesn't help either. I don't know, Heat vs Pistons is much more interesting (and I live on the West coast).

It's not going to be the most exciting series. Also, I'm not just saying this because I'm a Laker fan (It's actually been proven), but almost any series with the Lakers is sure to be a great series. The same can be said for like 2 or 3 other teams in the NBA... I think.

hanging out and what-not.  plenty of PDA at work, like sexual touching and hugging and what-not.  we are always taking breaks together and lunch and going places, eating out and like a date or something... Is there any possible way i could convert him, or is this a lost case, since he's already told me he is gay, though it took me about a week to figure it out on my own.  Oh., and he is so hott...!!! :-)

You might feel like you're on a date, but that's just because you're straight.  He doesn't feel that way at all.  I had this one friend and I didn't think that I was leading her on or whatever and she KNEW I was gay, but she said that it was unfair of me to play with her like that and act like I was into her.  I wasn't GIVING her signals or anything though.  If he really wants you, let him come to you, you don't wanna lose a friendship just because you think you could convert him.  Things would just be WEIRD between the two of you.


If you wanted to take me on a date, where and what would we do? \n\nHistory:  You no nothing about me but really like what I look like and are infatuated.

In a oerfect world I would have a way of getting infgormation about something that you always wanted to do but were too afraid,like open mike at the Kiroki  bar or ride a motorcyle throught the desert at night.  I would spend the effort to give you a night never to be forgotten............\nI have had maybe 4 nights like that in my life.

As of recently I have gotten information and the future Vengeance poster for later this year(2006).  However I have searched and searched and have found nothing on who is going to be in it with the exception of Shawn Michaels and Triple H.  If anyone has any information on who else is going to be in the new DX please tell me who as I would very much appreciate it as I am still searching after very long hours of looking and all I can find is the very predictable Shawn Michaels and Triple H and nobody else.  Sure their are websites that say New members of DX confirmed and when I get there-squat.  So if you could help me look or have any other information please tell me ASAP!Thanks very much!bye!

You know when you like click on something it makes that click sound, where on my computer to I go to access the folder that has those sound files?

Hi there\n\nIts really easy, I am expecting that you are using windows xp, so go to Control Panel, if in Catergory view, go to Sound Speech and Audio Devices > Sounds and Audio Devices > ( A dialog box will open ) > Select the "Sounds" tab from top. Thats all, you are there and you can change them according to your need, its all explained there.


My needs are to be able to run bible/reference software & music production software(both require multi-tasking).

I'm not the most proficient Mac user but if your looking for basic fulfillment of your needs then a Mac Mini or the basic iMac will fit the bill. I'd go with the iMac personally. but for the best quality and efficiency the Power Mac G5 is the best choice.\n\nHowever, now that Intel is starting to create better processors that aren't just faster but are more reliable and windows has a Media Center Spec. O/S, I would seriously look into an Intel OR AMD based media center PC.\n\nThe macs I mentioned go for between $600-$1300 (USD)\n\nAnd the Intel's, depending on Configuration, can go anywhere from $700-$1500 (USD) for a decent configuration.\n\nPersonally I choose Windows over Mac because for components within a computer it is much more compatible. the Apple O/S stalemates you to just a few options that can limit productivity. but it can really fall on personal preference.\n\nMy second source will bring you to a very good PC that is based on an Intel chip set and can run Windows Media Center 2005. it goes for $690 (USD) not including tax and shipping and handling.


Can you tell me good things and topics to talk about when you´re meeting new people?

well, find out if you and the new person have anything in common.  the guy I am currently wishing will develop into something more, met at a bingo game...we started out talking about how lousy the bingo numbers were...now, we talk about all sorts of stuff.  try looking at places to meet people that meet your interests.  if you like Karate...try several karate studios...if you like dogs...try dog parks...if you are religious...try church...or other place of worship.


I dont know about you, but if I would have been outed as a CIA agent, I would stay as far away from the people who conspired against me. Doesn't that seem odd to anyone that she went there? And Novak, and all those guys were there? Leave along that the Vice President is implicated in the investigation, isn't that odd?

Far be it from me to ask someone to turn down a free dinner.\n\nOr maybe she had gotten a tip that Bush was going to get raked over the coals and just couldn't stay away.


My sister, 16 years old, was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We're worried that all the medications she's taking are making her gain weight and leave her short of breath, but she needs them to lower her heart rate/blood pressure. they could also reverse the disorder to HYPOthyroidism, which apparently is even more dangerous. Is there a safer/more affective treatment? any info would help.

I don't believe this answer is going to far.  If you are terminally ill, are you willing to talk about it in this Yahoo! answers?

Yes, I am. No, I don't want to talk about it.


Please see if you can help answer this word problem:\nFor 1989 and 1990 Dave Johnson had the highest decathlon score in the world. When Johnson reached a speed of 32 ft/sec on the pole vault runway, his height above the ground t seconds after leaving the ground was given by h = -16t^2 + 32t. (The elasticity of the pole converts the horizontal speed into vertical speed) find the value of t for which his height was 12ft. Determine for how long was Johnson more than 14ft in the air?

Since the height is the only thing considered you can disregard the initial 32ft/sec (this is the initial x direction velocity).  When the height is 12ft you set the equation equal to 12 and use the quadratic formula to solve for t {[at^2+bt+c=0; a=-16, b=32, c=-12] stick these values into    (-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a} You'll find that t=1/2,3/2.  He reaches 12 feet going up at .5 secs and again coming down at 1.5 secs.  Do the same for 14ft and you should get two answers (0.646s,1.35s) He is above 14ft between these times so you subtract the larger time from the smaller and you get about 0.707 secs.\nIf you have a problem understanding my notation check out the quadratic Equation at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/QuadraticEquation.html

I know the literal meaning of paedophilia is "lover of children" & that in the laws' eyes, he was the resposible adult & I the minor and therefore he was at fault, but I was the one who seduced him.\nJust to add fuel to the fire, he was my parish priest! He showed me lots of videos of him wrestling naked with other men & also other boys from the church. I can't speak for them, but I was fully in control of my experience.\nIf the church had found out he would have been in a lot of trouble, if the law had found out he would probably be in prison. If the press had found out we would both have been screwed.\n\nI really do not want to cause any offense to anyone who, as a minor, suffered abuse of any sort. I am not justifying child abuse AT ALL. I am just trying to highlight a grey area in the law. \nHas anyone else had a similar experience?

I concur with your conclusions.  I had sex before I was of age. some of that sex was with a man who was of age.  I pushed myself on him. It was MY decision.  No one has the right to take that away from me, no matter what the law says now.  I am disgusted that the legal system thinks it should be able to double guess me or anyone else.\n\nRegards,\n\nReynolds Jones\nSchenectady, NY\n\nPS  The gentleman has now communicated with me.  He was 17 at the time of the encounter -- which is legal in nearly all states (Age of Consent averages 16, NY is 17, a couple of states actually are 18) this means the sex was legal, but the porn may not have been.\n\nRJ


First what are dreams? Second, why do we have them?\n\nPeople born blind do dream, but those dreams are based on what they have sensed before -- textures, sounds, smells and tastes. (I surmise in that order too).\n\nI'll answer the first question, but scientists are still figuring out the second one. Dreams coincide with your brain being active while you sleep. Neurons, the cells of the brain, sends and receives nerve impulses, almost like a cascade or a "random" screen-saver.  Why?  There might be a hint in the fact we go crazy and die if we don't sleep. And we sleep to dream. It may be like re-booting your computer now and then. It puts all the files back in their respective folders, resets all the registers, and organizes your information.\n\nOoops, its getting late, I need to reboot my computer.


My birthday is October 23 so On some I'm a Scorpio and on others I'm a Libra generaly I go with libra is that right and if not what is the best way to go about reading my horoscopes

You should purchase one of those books found at Barnes & Nobles or on Amazon that have the highly definitive information on the EXACT day you were born/hour, etc. They are the most accurate and are worth investing in, says I.


I met this really hot Slovakian girl who is new to town I do like her but I'm not going to make a move on account of her only still finding her feet here. So my question is what do I do to make her feel welcome, keep her interested in me and help her settle in. I do like her.

Just become really good friends before you start a relationship! Trust me, I've gone into a relationship based on physical things (without a strong friendship) and things didn't work out! I think it's great that you are willing to wait until she seems ready to "make a move"! I wish more guys were like that. Find out what type of things she likes to do. Maybe you could invite her to go bowling you and a couple of friends, or go to coffee(i suggest Starbucks), or out to eat,  or somewhere else that you guys could just talk.  I know the movies are fun but you should do something where the two of you can talk. You can't really get to know someone that well by going to the movies. To keep her interested in you maybe you could just flirt with her a little, every girl likes to be flirted with every once and a while. Good luck! If you want any more advice on it you could always contact me.

kindly explain what this quotation means\n\nWe are not enemies, but friends.  We must not be enemies.  Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.  The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.  ~Abraham Lincoln

It is a long winded, though beautiful, way of saying "least said soonest mended".


If someone came to your front door, representing a local charatiy and a local business (lets say Papa Murphy's) who had teamed up together, someone who dressed and acted very nice, selling a coupon book that cost $15, and the first coupon was for a free gourmet pizza (valued at at least $15)and there were 5 other good money saving coupons you dont normally see that you could use after that, would you buy it?\nAlso, 10% of the sale ($1.50) would go to the local charity - meaning if 1,000 coupons were sold you would be apart of an action group that had raised $1,500 for that charity, uniting the community, consumer, business, and charity together for a common good - all supporting eachother.


"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."\n-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

How dare you attack Hillary!!! She is everything this country could hope and pray for in a first female President. \n\nShe is honest, forthright, compassionate, she knows her own mind, and she commands the highest amount of respect. Not to mention the fact that she is so in tune with what middle America wants and needs in a leader.\n\nWith her at our helm, we can return to the good old days when the entire world loved the U.S. The terrorists will bow down in defeat, our troops can return from Iraq and Afghanistan, and world peace will prevail.\n\nOn the home front, the poor and deprived will have adequate housing and medical care, the education system will thrive until we surpass the Japanese, gas prices will drop so low it will make your head spin, and the environment will return to the pristine state it was in when the pilgrims first landed on Pilgrim Rock.\n\nAnd if I ever, ever say any of this without laughing so hard I piss my pants, I beg you to come to my house and put me out of my f*cking misery, because I know I'd have to be brain dead.\n\n\n\nIt's funny how a liberal would rather comment on another answer than address the question.


Do you think it was fair for Scott Peterson to be sentenced to death based on circumstancial evidence when O.J. Simpson was declared innocent because of circumstantial evidence?\nDon't get me wrong, personally I believe he did it and I think he deserves to die. But I think the government has no business sentencing him to death when all evidence is circumstantial. I find it ironic that OJ got off based on that while Scott will be executed.\n\nWhat do you guys think?

I think the sentence was fair.  Guilt cannot be judges on a sliding scale.  And for the record, OJ didn't get off because he was innocent or because the evidence was circumstantial.  He got of because of his race.


I know that it can be done using Java Archive Tool but how ?\nPlease help me out !!\nOr if u know any other utility then please let me know it.

Remember a JAR is technically a Executable File!\n\nYou MUST have java to run java files. But when you want to create a exe file, then your STRICTING it to be on windows specific operating systems.\n\nBut if you still want to rename the JAR to be EXE you could use\nEJ.Technologies.Install4j.Enterprise.Edition That program is really straight forward. IT allows you to place icons as well.
