My daugher moved to the same state her father lives in.  I divorced him in 1990. He's alcoholic, mentally and emotionally abusive and got his jollies from beating the crap out of me.  Now that our daughter is in his neighborhood he is treating her the same as he did me.  Has crossed the line to the point where he had a fist in her face.  He calls her every name in the book, swears at her, tells others she's useless and a failure.  She's a nurse and raising a son, doing it all on her own.  Her self esteem is almost completely gone due to this.  He is making her life a complete hell.  She can't afford to move back here and doesn't want to involve the police.  \nPLEASE -- what can I say to her to convince her to get some protection and/or help down there?  I will be going down there in three weeks, and can't make it any sooner due to financial reasons.

Talk to her about her childhood and remind her of what it was like when all of you were together as a family.  I'm not suggesting this be done to dredge up bad memories, but to put it into her head why it was you divorced her father in the first place.  Maybe if you can get her to see that this is a problem that is life long with her father it will help her to regain some of her self esteem and realize the source this abuse is coming from.  \nAs far as your distance problem, threaten to exercise your rights as a grandmother and seek to have a protection order filed against him on behalf of the safety of your grandson.  Also talk with her about the possibility of relocating to another area.  Nursing jobs can be gotten virtually anywhere on the planet.  Good luck.


Is it me or do the happy in Love people just make you want to scream sometimes?  \n\nAfter going through all that we do to find another to share life with, (even just to share a dinner with or have a relationship more than a friendship) and failing (sometimes miserably)\n\nHow do we keep from being bitter?\n\nI have been bitter (not at the moment), but it's smething I have to constantly work against.  What do you do to "keep hope alive," and not just say "All men/women are evil, forget the whole thing"?

i understand what you are saying perfectly. after you have been hurt enough times, you don't want to go down that road again....when you are 18 and the first time in love, they really don't get it....at least not yet..........but, remember, if we do not love to keep pain out,,,then we also do not let love in.....it's a risk, but it's worth taking.. good luck


We have seen great progress in the last 250 years. We have also suffered some setbacks including two world wars. But we have the opportunity to end world poverty in the next 19 years in support of the UN. Are you going to particpate?

I would support anyone who helps out this cause and have myself on occasion, however the simple fact remains that they are poor because we are rich. There isnt, as many like to say, enough to go around, not if we want to maintain our current standard of living.


I know its controversial but racial differences do exist.

There may be a genetic component, but I suspect the bigger issue is the significant emphasis on the importance of education in many Asian cultures. Children rise to our expectations.


someone with visa credit card to help me or advice how to get one, am desperate coz have no account.

Do you realise that a Green Card can take up to 3 years to obtain, the time delay is normally 2 to 3 years. ANd you pay your Immigration Lawyer the monies, and they send it to USCIS on your behalf.

I love one man but I'm falling for another one, and it hurts so bad because I can't have both.

Where have you been? It's done all the time. Evidently you're on that bandwagon. You love 1 ( ONE) only. It's not a toy to take out & play with when you feel like it. It's to be appreciated & cherished an reciprocated as well.


By far one of the better sitcoms ever produced!  The whole cast played their characters so well, and it was not just funny...there always seemed to be a lesson learned in each episode.  Each character was so different from the others:  From classy, gorgeous Jennifer to 'slick' Herb Tarlek to organized, perfect hair Andy to the peaceful Venus, and the coolest dude ever, Johnny Fever, to brainly lovely Bailey, and to super nutty Les Nesman of course the ever loveable bumbling Mr. Arthur Carlson! ('As God as my Witness, I swear - I didn't know turkeys could't fly'!!!) Can't forget Momma - Mrs. Carlson!!

I loved how Les Nessman put a tape outline around his desk that was supposed to be his office.  He made people make knocking sounds before they could speak to him.  LOL

I have learned this is true, shockingly so.  Apparently they use lots of math in their work?  \n\nHas anyone else discovered similarly?

howcome AsCl3 has bigger dipole moment than BF3?

A dipole (Greek: di(s) = double and polos = pivot) is a pair of electric charges or magnetic poles of equal magnitude but opposite polarity (opposite electronic charges), separated by some, usually small, distance. Dipoles can be characterized by their dipole moment, a vector quantity with a magnitude equal to the product of the charge or magnetic strength of one of the poles and the distance separating the two poles. The direction of the dipole moment corresponds, for electric dipoles, to the direction from the negative to the positive charge. For magnetic dipoles, the dipole moment points from the magnetic south to the magnetic north pole — confusingly, the "north" and "south" convention for magnetic dipoles is the opposite of that used to describe the Earth's geographic and magnetic poles, so that the Earth's geomagnetic north pole is the south pole of its dipole moment. Because of the absence of magnetic monopoles, magnetic dipoles are actually created by current loops or by quantum-mechanical spin.\n\nSince the direction of an electric field is defined as the direction of the force on a positive charge, electric field lines point away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge.\n\nWhen placed in an electric or magnetic field, equal but opposite forces arise on each side of the dipole creating a torque τ:\n\n \nfor an electric dipole moment p (in coulomb-meters), or\nfor a magnetic dipole moment m (in ampere-square meters).\n\nThe resulting torque will tend to align the dipole with the applied field


OMG, Isn`t he suppose to be the head of all Catholic religion and he is asking WHERE WAS GOD??\n\n How can he, with his lack of faith, possibly lead the Catholic church?? \n\nI am stunned by this..I am NOT Catholic, BUT OH MY GOD... He is the HEAD of this gigantic Church and questioning OUR God right on world wide television.. I pray for all you in the Catholic religion.. You may want to think this over..\n\n<><

Even Jesus cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" \n\nThese are the first words of the 22nd psalm, one of the lamentation psalms. But the psalm ends on a positive note with, "And I will live for the LORD."\n\nBoth Jews and Christians believe a long tradition in asking God why he lets bad things happen. \n\nWe try to understand things mentally, but we are also emotional beings and we feel things deeply. \n\nGod understands this. He created us this way.\n\nWith love in Christ.


I have been with my MEXICAN husband for 2 years, we have a daughter, but I have never had oral sex with him.  He's coming to a point where he can't take it anymore.   I dont know what to do....

honey if he aint getting it from you, then he's getting it someplace else.\nand what's with the capitalized meixican? just cause his peen is brown don't mean you can't put it in your mouth.\ni mean you have a child with this man, it's about time he makes you choke.

you can try using ftp:// and then url istead of http://, sometimes that will get you in

There are tables for this check Gun Digest and other literature of that ilk it's information readily available in the library or you could just google your question.\n\nShe says as she backs slowly away... hummm interesting question.  Bye!!


i'm 22 and i want to write a autobiography about my life so  far, i've had alot happened to me over the years, but i want to write this for me and not to sell it (mite do one day). not sure how to start it, do i start it from what i remember or do i start it from when i was born?

When writing a book there's no rule that you have to start at the beginning of anything - your life *or* the book.  If you want, start at the place you find most interesting and go from there.  You can fill in "the beginning" later.  I wrote a book (just for myself) last November and didn't write it in order at all.  I wrote the middle chapters first, but all out of sequence, then wrote the end, and finally finished with the introduction.  Then I edited it to put it all together in "order".  There is no right way to do it.


problem is, i fell inlove with him but shows im tough and lets him know im not into that... why do u think he's saying that?

it may be his way of leeting you down with out actually having to deal with hurting you, Or it may be because he has seen what love can do to some people. he is just still young, & he can not say that for sure because as he gets older, he will more than likely fall in love. What ever his reason, Don't let it stop you from being friends. Good luck to you & to him.

i need a name of a ghost for my story i am writing and i want that name to be the street name but i would like it, that if you read the story you had to think about it i dont want the name to slap you in the face

I've known both men and women named Cheyenne.  Since it was (and is) an Indian tribe, as well as a state capitol, it would make a great street name, and I am sure it IS a street name somewhere.  If the ghost is a girl you could take it one step further and make the street name Sioux and make the ghost's name Sue...


My best friend sence 6th grade whose a guy is miss treating himself. Like hes being a man hoe. He has had a new gf every week sence last year. Do you think i should step in because i actually like like him? Ill feel bad if i dont take charge. (personality tests same im a born leader) What should i do?

step in. If you all were friends since the 6th grade then he will feel comfortable to hear it come from you.


means one hand...one leg...half nose  and like that...

I would wonder how am I to clap my hands?


If I, or someone else, developed a process in which we could Isolate specific genes from wild animals, in essence, completely removing the ability to grow into an adult. \nwould there be a market for small animals, a giraffe as a pet, or have a tiger 1/5th the scale?\n\nwould you buy one?\n\nwould this be legal?

It has already happened.  An island off the coast of California is yielding fossils of dwarf elephants that did not grow to 'full size' because of limited space.  Apparently there wasn't a market for them.


it was a special called The Da Vinci Code: The Facts Behind the Fiction.  I saw it then, and didn't understand a thing, because I hadn't read the book, but now I want to see it again.

ABC Primetime has a store where you can buy DVDs of certain broadcasts, but the only thing I could find on there was a special where Elizabeth Vargas when to the Holy Land to look up stuff from "The DaVinci Code."  it wasn't called "The Facts  Behind the Fiction" though.  so I dunno.  maybe e-mail someone at Primetime and ask.


http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/05/12/bush.clinton.poll/index.html\nMy only question is why ANYONE could say Bush is better at anything with a straight face! I mean, can't they READ?

The funny thing is, Bush's rating is 29%.\n\n29%!!!!!!!\n\nEven at during a time of crisis for Clinton (with the "impeachment" stuff,) HIS approval was OUTSTANDING!!!\n\n"In the wake of the House of Representatives' approval of two articles of impeachment, Bill Clinton's approval rating has jumped 10 points to 73 percent, the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows." ~ CNN.com\n\nEven if Bush's rating DOUBLES, it would STILL be failing. 58%. Not that he can get it that high.\n\nI wonder if it is the LOWEST a President has ever gotten since they started polling...\n\n************EDIT***************\n\nDAR claims he has a life. (See below.)\n\nIf that were the case, why is he "here:?


Who won: the bicycle, football, child seat, word game?  Who came  in 2nd, 3rd, 4th?

The all kind of won, because the three that didn't win will still be able to pursue their dreams as companies came to back them up.  The 1st place winner was the child seat, he got the million bucks and a deal with baby product company.  The 2nd place winner was the word game, that inventor got a deal with hasbro/parker bros.  Third place was the football gear, that inventor got a deal with Rice ( a famous reciever) to manufacture his product. Fourth place went to the bicycle inventor, who got a deal with Trek bicycle company to make his bike and got a congratulations via sattelite tv with Armstrong (the tour de France winner).  :)


i've liked him for about a month and things are going really good.\ni talk to him everyday[ cause we dont go to the same school]\nbut he says he wants to be with me.. just hasnt asked me out.\nwhat do i need to do? how should i talk to him about it?

Definetely talk to him about it and ask him what he sees in the relationship between you and him. You should be honest in telling him that you are interested in seeing him and then start from there (if he's not interested dont waste your time and find another boy)!


I might get it if i find out a good enough reason b/c i have a track meet tommorow

Do you watch t.v.?  I don't.  Is that weird in todays society?

I don't, it bores me.

Well I'm 15 yr old female and I\nwant to become a gothic/punk rocker\nmodel, only i don't know where to begin.\nI don't know what to do where to go\nwhat should i do?

Id see an agent... A GOOD agent not some pervert alleyway agent. Ask around and look on the internet. Send some emails. Depending on where you live. I dont honestly think the gothic thing is they way to go if you want to be a model. And I dont even know if you are serious but good luck too you. Remember its a crap industry.


ok. people say, let it go, forget about it, its in the past, just look to the future and the present. well then why cant we just forgive....lets say Bin Laden, its in the past.\nHow about if someone took your sister or daughter and abussed her, would you let it go after that, or would you want payback on the guy. Its in the past. I think people just want to forget about the past when it accommodates them. why do we have history classes? to learn from it, but its in the past. I know the bible talks about forgiveness, but why didnt god forgive the devil.

You can not "forget" about the past...it is stored in your memory either up close, or way in the back dimly.  Where you store it is up to your own ability to cope.\n"Forgiveness" is not "forgetfulness".\nForgive means to learn from what happened.  Become aware that the culprit is a sorry person that even if they do know better, have little personal control, therefore are pitiful, and need your pity.  Even when they hurt you, try to realize, that they will most likely NEVER know the beauty of not even wanting to hurt others.  They know no peace and goodness in their soul.  They ARE tormented by things they do, and as the years go by it adds up and makes them meaner and meaner.  Ergo the need for Christ...\n(whether you "believe" in Him or not...you NEED to believe in Forgiveness, or you're trapped in your own filth forever).\nForgiveness also evokes bodily chemicals that keep our immune systems strong, and keeps us healthy.  So the act of forgiving if for YOU, not for the culprit.  It is something you do inside yourself for yourself for your health emotionally and spiritually. "Retaliation" is doing what the culprit did and can put you in the same boat if you're not careful...i.e. the use of our political law system, allows retaliation without guilt.  (Never mind the system doesn't work properly < not the topic here).\nYes, they SAY mean people live forever, but do they live well?  Are they healthy?  Rarely.  They might live long, in and UNhealthy way as a sort of earthly punishment...because they seem to control all else around them with their meanness, they can not control disease.\n\nGod did not forgive the devil.  God is in a bet with the devil whether all of mankind will become either evil, kill themselves off, OR become Godly as the Almighty.\n[Gee, wonder which direction we're going???]\nWhen God wins (uh, don't think that'll be tomorrow) then God will finally punish the devil by casting him into eternal fire.  Forgiveness is not for God, it is for YOU.\n\nHistory classes?  You are questioning why we want to learn from the past.  duh...so that we can take measures to keep bad things from happening again as much as possible.\nHistory:  Man made fire and put his hand into it, and got his hand burnt. Man learned to make a tool to deal with items around a fire, so as to not get burned again. He taught his children to use the tool and never have to get burned.  So is not everything like that?.\n\nForgive the idiot that hurt you or yours.  But do use the law where needed.  If they broke a law, send the authorities after them.  Forgive the idiot, and thank God YOU're not such an idiot, and say to yourself:  "There go I were it not for how I learned not to do those things.  Poor idiot is not as lucky as me."\n\nBe healthy in your mind, body and spirit.\nI wish you LOVE


i've been suffering from this girl's attitude towards me, she's supposed to be my best friend for 4 years now and we're together in a project so we meet a lot and work a lot together..last term I was the topof the class and she was the seventh..it really means to her to have a good grade in order to be accepted to work as an assistant in college..so this term she's been treating me like hell..always mocking me and making fun of me as if she knows everything and I know nothing at all..she's trying to shake my self confidence coz she feels insecure towards me getting a higher grade than her too..she's been playing that game since we started our final exams and we haven't finished them yet..anyways the problem is that i don wanna argue with her becoz of the project and also that would create a tension between us when we work together coz she's not a very easy person when it comes to arguments or stuff like that..now her plan is starting to succeed,and it's affecting my studies..help!

As my aunt would say, "kill them with kindness", rise above it.  You will feel better instead of reacting to her foolishness.  As others have said, she is jealous of you.  Get through the project and then think hard on whether you want her in your life or not.  She is not your friend!!  Friends don't do that to friends....Hope this helps!!!!


you love the person very much...can't imagine being without them but at the same time you are tired of what it takes to keep a relationship going.

Sounds to me like you need a break, at least for awhile. You need to re-assess where you're headed in this relationship, and whether or not , that's where you WANT it to go. Take a while off, and get away from him.....see if you really want to continue....or not!


In our office, we have a door that we sometimes leave open and sometimes close. Its an internal door between offices. There is no vents or electric anything around the door. Something inside of the door is making the handle on the inside of the door warm, yet the outside handle is cold. Its very strange... This weird difference in temperature is present whether the door is open or closed. This is a standard metal handle and a wooden door.

Different materials conduct heat at different rates.\n\nMetal, for example, is generally an excellent conductor of heat, meaning that when you place your hand on a metal doorknob, the metal conducts heat away from your hand at a much higher rate than of you were to grab an object made of less conductive material, such as wood.  The sensation you're calling "cool" or "cold" is simply heat being conducted away from your skin.  \n\nRemember, just as darkness is nothing more than the absence of light, cold is nothing more than the absence of heat.  So when you're touching a cold object, nothing is being imparted to your skin; all you're feeling is the heating leaving.\n\nRegards,\n\nKevinb671, Ph.D.\nSertufied Science Person


Socially or at the work place?  How widespread do you think it is and who gets discriminated against?

I don't think racial discrimination is as extreme in the UK as it is in other countires, but it is still present. The recent victories of the BNP in local elections is very worrying. People must realise that minorities have just as much a right to be here as the "indigenous" population (as the BNP call them), as most people don't realise that our current population comes from millions of immigrants over history (the Celts, Anglo-saxons, Vikings, Jutes, Normans, the Dutch, Irish, Huguenots to name but a few).\n\nAlot of people who are racist don't even realise they are doing it.


Would those of you that oppose Mexican immigrants coming to the US change your minds if Mexico had oil that the U.S. could capitalize on?

It's not just higher crude costs; it's new regulations.\nNelson D. Schwartz\nMay 3, 2006: 2:20 PM EDT\n\n\n(FORTUNE Magazine) - With gas prices roaring past $3 a gallon and consumer fury rising even faster, Congress and the White House are engaged in a Kabuki-like ritual: pointing fingers at each other over who's to blame, while furiously attacking Big Oil for reaping gargantuan profits - as drivers get hosed at the pump.\n\nIf the politicians really want to figure out who's responsible for the latest round of price increases, though, they'd be better off looking in the mirror. That's because the rise isn't only due to higher crude costs. It's also fallout from some little-noticed provisions in the energy bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush last summer.\n\nBuried in the 551-page energy bill - which was supposed to ease energy shortages, not worsen them - were new regulations governing what additives go into gasoline and how it's refined. Corn-based ethanol is replacing the petroleum-derived additive MTBE, but Congress timed this logistically tricky switchover to occur just as demand for gasoline peaked ahead of the summer driving season - right about now.\n\nThe end result is an extra strain on the refining and distribution system when it can least afford it.\n\n"It's too late now, but Congress has consistently failed to sequence regulatory requirements in a responsible fashion," says Bob Slaughter, president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association.\n\nAdds Larry Goldstein of the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation: "The gasoline crisis is made in the U.S.A., not in Iran or Venezuela or Nigeria. At least half the increase in gasoline prices is due to unintended consequences of the energy bill, but no one in Washington wants to admit that."\n\nIndeed, while crude prices have risen 21% since the end of 2005, gasoline is up 37% - a sign of just how stretched the system is. Congress's mistake, says Goldstein, was setting the new law to go into effect 270 days after it was signed - May 5 - rather than waiting until fall, when gas demand is typically on the downswing.\n\nNow the big question is, How high can gas go? Well, perhaps the only good thing that can be said about paying three bucks per gallon is that it seems to be slowing consumption - which should, in turn, reduce prices. Over a four-week period in April, says oil analyst Jamal Qureshi of consulting firm PFC Energy, U.S. gasoline demand dropped by half a percent, to just over nine million barrels a day. That may not sound like much, but it's a reversal from the 1.7% average annual increase in gas consumption the U.S. has experienced over the past decade. If $3 is indeed the tipping point at which consumers change their behavior and alter their driving habits, it's the one silver lining in an otherwise very dark cloud for drivers.\n\nThe wildcard in this scenario, of course, is the increasing risk of a military confrontation with Iran. If that happens, says Qureshi, "all bets are off." Given that crude oil accounts for 55% of the cost of each gallon of gas (refining accounts for 22%, taxes for 19%, and distribution and marketing for 4%), an upward spike in crude oil would push gas up even if the bottlenecks caused by the energy bill ease this summer.\n\nThat's why Red Cavaney, president of the American Petroleum Institute, says the answer in the short term is conservation. Washington is indeed being turned upside down when it's left to Cavaney, Big Oil's chief lobbyist, to talk conservat

Are the systems really difficult to live with?

Most premenopausal women experience changes in their menstrual cycle. When estrogen levels begin to drop, the follicular phase of the cycle may be shortened, and this can shorten the total cycle from 28–30 days to 24–26 days, resulting in more frequent periods. On the other hand, some women begin having longer cycles because they are not ovulating as frequently. These changes can be quite different on an individual basis. Additionally, this declining/fluctuating estrogen level can produce a host of disturbing symptoms: hot flashes, increasing vaginal dryness, sleep problems, mood swings, breast tenderness and many other complications. \n\nThere is a relatively small number of women who hardly notice any changes before menopause. Their periods just stop overnight with few, if any, symptoms.\n\nAnother small percentage of women experience significant, dramatic symptoms that, when left untreated, ultimately lead to surgical intervention. Many women find at this time too many physicians strongly urging surgery and failing to provide information about the alternatives to, and consequences of, hysterectomy.


I have a......friend, yes, a friend (hehe) who thinks he has bad breath. He flosses and brushes feverishly, but to no avail. Upon further review of .....his mouth, the culprit appears to be a coat of bacteria that has collected on the back of his tongue. What can be done about this? Scrapping does nothing. There has to be herbs of some sort. Really wants to pursue acting, but the situation is demoralizing, or it may be mental. What should I, I mean, what should I tell him.Thanks. A tongue transplant?

tell him to brush his tongue when he brushes his teeth, and chew gum (sugarfree of course)

No matter where you are in the world,and before you are told

i believe it.  it's weird but most of the time when something bad is going to happen or happened i feel something inside of me that knows there is something wrong but i'm not sure what.


I know I'm wasting points but still I want to hear funny ways\nExample: I woulod spell awesome.\nA-W-E-S-O-M-E- "THAT IS CORRECT"!!!!\nThen I would say "OH YEAH I WIN YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK ON YA BUTT"! OK So I wouldn't really say that but what's a funny thing you would do if you got something right and what you said was bad like I said that phrase give me one too :)

If the judges told me I spelled a word wrong, I would screw off the mike and throw it at them and then jump off the stage and attack them. Then, I suppose it'd be the best idea to RUN!


If you have a $800 dining table and your roommate accidentally scratch it (pretty badly), is it ethical for you to ask for compensation??

I would think that depends on how good of a relationship you have with her and how the request is going to affect your living situation.  Will it become a tit-for-tat over it?  How much will it cost to repair it (certainly not the whole $800).  Accidents happen and when they involve something as superficial as this, it's best, IMO, to look at the potential outcome of the request.  Weigh the request against the consequences and make that decision for yourself.


i want to know if i could still get a financial aid here in the united states even though i dont have a social security and i'm not a residence... what do I have to do.

Go back to your own country and ask them. Stop taking stuff from our children. I am not trying to be shitty. But just go home and come back here legally.

And they're parents were very sad,it was a baby with 9 months,they all were sad,then I though,what if that baby was a teenager of 15 years,then they're parents wouldn't be so sad?,because,when you're teenager you really act like a fool and shout to evreyone,what you think?

At any age, when someone dies in the family there's always sadness. Sometimes an unruly early life could end up being successful at late 30's because of some turning point in life. But of course, there's also a chance the unruly early life could turn out to be worst as his/her age keeps on adding through the years.\nIt's true that teenagers nowadays don't show a lot of respect to their elders but when their untimely death would come, family members feels the pain of losing a love one no matter how bad they were when they were alive.


I have been  praying 4 about  5 years  for a good job.I went back to get skills still  the market  is flooded  with  my skills.I have had small  jobs that dont last.IS any one else OUT there misplaced in the market place?I would get a hambugar job  they  are taken here.

The bible is 'Gods' word to us.It says to pray without ceasing. That means on a daily basis.I have had prayers that haven't ''yet'' been answered. They are still in his care waiting for right time or till I realize it isn't His will for my life, and I find peace about it.Hang in and hang on..God is faithful.   ''He is able to do exceedingly ,abuntdantly above that which  I ask or think''


well..guys...at present..i am doing my final year of computer degree..My issue is that..after reading many articles of game design..i came to know that...maths and physics...are an integrated part of game desing...!\n\nthough..i know quite a bit of maths because..we have maths in our course..but i don't know nothing about physics...so i am afraid..it will pose problem in the future...\n\nother thing is that...right now..i know bit of C, C++ and java but i am not specialise into any of the language...so..in which langugae...should i focus entirely..and learn to the depth..and become specialise in it..regarding game programming..?!\n\nand last one thing...after my graduation...what should i be doing to become a game programmer..in a sense..how should i move ahead towards my goal...should i need to enrol in any game deisgn school or something else..!! advise me pls...thanks in advance...!

Game designing and development is probably the toughest of all programming skills. In order for you to proceed, I'd suggest you concentrate on the following:\n\no A very sound grasp over C++\no Microsoft DirectX SDK\no OpenGL graphics API\no 3D modelling/rendering/animation software such as 3D Studio Max (after all you'll be designing game levels and 3D animated models to manipulate with your gaming engine)\no Adobe Photoshop to assist in the design process\n\nIt's good that your maths and physics are good and they'll certainly help you along the way. But consider the above as your priorities in given order and proceed.\n\nTry producing something that could show you have a spark for the feild and then try to join a game development company as a trainee. They will teach you much more than any University. Good luck.


I am considering opening an E-trade account.  I am looking to start out with about $1,000.  I have money market accounts, Bonds, etc; these accounts are good, however the return rate isn't but about 2% higher than the rate of inflation.   I'm ready to do something a little different.  I don't mind having to do a little bit of work (managing, monitoring...etc) however, the obvious wish is to minimize this.  I have considered investing into a mutual fund, something through fidelity, vangaurd, ING ...etc.  IPO's, things of this nature are obviously out of the question assuming im not a millionare (unless i have some great misconception of IPO's). I've read about good sectors to be in right now...etc   i understand you get what you pay for, time is power and that risk is neccesary to gain anything.  im looking something pretty agressive. Wouldn't we all love to be able to know when were 45 we can sail away on our yachts?  (im 19, i just want make sure i'm well on my way) Please advise.

E Trade is good, but you will have to pay every time you buy/sell a stock. Why not get a no load mutual fund invested in a Roth IRA (minimal openeing balance) at Vanguard or Fidelity. You are a great age to start an IRA.


And mean with the constant partying, drinking, too much sex and drug abuse that goes on, do we think there is no tomorrow? Why do we put ourselves through so much? Is it a lack of self respect brought on by never ending social persecution?

No I don't.  I think the level of self-destructiveness in the gay community is almost precisely the same as the level of self-destructiveness in the straight community.\n\nThat does not mean that I don't think we shouldn't be better than that -- but that's because I've always thought that gays were meant to be nurturers and care-givers.  I even thought that when I was 14 and just coming out.  Therefore I think we should always be nice and kind and thoughtful and not ever harmful or negative (and no, I'm not making that up, I really mean it).\n\nNow as for constant partying -- some of us don't party at all, except dinner parties and charity events.  Those some of us would include my partner and I -- we have friends (mostly straight males) to our house to play wargames and d20 games and hang out regularly -- but we don't drink very much (well to be fair I will sometimes have a glass of wine sometimes, although I've never been drunk in my life and Jonathan gets drunk a couple of times a year when we go to two events that are very special to us; he and one of our best straight friends have a bartender in the hotel  [its the same hotel for both events] that they like and he stocks their favorite drinks for the events because he knows we will be there, and they drink on Saturday night and play pool and get drunk -- but I don't count that as drinking too much.) and we don't drink with them at all, except wine with dinner sometimes.\n\nWe do not do drugs at all -- and NONE of the gay couples we know do, nor, now that I think of it -- any of the gay singles.  Note, when we go dancing to a club a few times a year, we are there to dance -- so if drugs are exchanging hands there, we wouldn't notice -- however, among the gay people we know, only one of whom frequents clubs more than we do (which means clubs are not subsisting on our money -- even cumulatively) none of them do drugs.\n\nYes, some gay men are deeply self-hating; and others are self-abusive because of power relationships and the abuse that they have internalized.\n\nHowever, all that you seem to be experiencing relates to a gay community I do not and have never had anything to do with -- even when I was young and traveled with a group of "ice princesses" who were my friends -- EXCEPT the lots of sex.\n\nYep, we still have sex 5 or so times a week -- after nearly 15 years.  But I don't think that's a bad thing, I think that's part of a healthy relationship, gay or straight -- I also think its rarer among straights than it is among gays -- so some straight men don't like it that gay men have so much sex -- even when (perhaps more in) monogamous relationships.\n\nThat's their problem.  Sex is good -- I suggest dropping frequent sex from your list.  Once you do that I think you will realize that there is not a monolithic gay community, but rather that there are gay communities; and while the one in which you mostly move may have some self-destructive habits, I very much doubt that they are worse than the self-destructive habits of some straight communities; and there are other gay communities wherein that behavior is not evidenced, the same as there are some straight ones.\n\nKind regards,\n\nReynolds Jones\n(and Jonathan Marc Fox)\nSchenectady, NY\nhttp://www.rebuff.org


Speaking for many Americans, the house and senate are both run by Rublicans currently.  So, it's very hard to implicate him or question anything he does, as everything is shut down at either the house or senate level.  Bush is uncontestably the worst president ever.  Most Americans understand this, but little can be done to change it. He is munipulative and greedy, great competencies for a president standing on false pretenses.  Americans have a bit of ignorance in terms of understanding the truth behind Bush!

President Bush isn't the only person that thought Iraq had WMD's.  Former President Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Madeline Albright, Sandy Berger, Nancy Pelosi, Bob Graham, Ted Kennedy, Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, Joseph Lieberman, Robert Byrd, Jay Rockefeller, Henry Waxman, and Hillary Clinton also believed it.  See www.truthorfiction.com if you'd like to see actual quotes and when each were said.  The article is "Bush lied about WMD's?  What about the Democrats?"\nSo does that make all of them liars, or were they just gullible?  Does that still mean that they're any more credible than the Republicans?\nThanks for your answers, please check back before the question expires.  I will reply to each that responds.

I do not think that Bush lied about the WMD. They found mobile chem labs that had been cleaned down to the micro particles. If you had nothing to hide why would you have to go to that extent? Why are there indications that weapons were shipped to Iran right before we invaded? There are a lot more questions that can not be answered without bringing in WMD. Do I believe that there was as many as was made out to be? No I don't believe so. Do I beileve that there were WMD? Yes I do think that they were there. Look at what he was willing to do to his own people, and that can tell you a lot about a man. I believe that we should be in Iraq, and that was one of the best things that we could have done. The general Iragi public wants us there. They want their freedom, and me personally I would willingly give my life so that they can have the same chance that we have. If everybody was willing to work together to help everybody else out think about where technology would be today. We may have already colonized the Moon or maybe even Mars. Its the I hate Bush, and anything he does wrong that is tearing this country apart. What I hate hearing is Bush did this wrong, or Bush did that wrong. What about some ideas of your own? You want to hear the truth? Listen to Fox News sometime, and they will tell you the truth. Espeically the O'Reilly Factor, and Hannity & Colmes.


Well this question real easy: Georgia Bulldogs.


I know that every sin we every did going to be right out there in the open has Jesus Judges us, even if I stopped sinning today, I have some pretty bad one, I ask for forgivesness for this sins. Does that mean Jesus did forgive them and FORGET them, or will they still come out on Judgement? as forgiven sins....Will the good work and the bad work both come out, even if you are forgiven...

When God forgives your sins, he erased them, blots them out, forgets them. Do you think he is just going to say, Oh! by the way, just kidding!!! They are erased just as if you erased a chalkboard and remembers them no more.


some of the lyrics include: "think of me" we've been together for a long long time" "it's important to me" "i never want to make a change for you" thats the best i can do, help!

According to them, everything that happens in the world (like war) is the result of some far out, dubious, conniving plot by the rich, powerful, secret societies of the world who control our governments.

I found out my Boyfriend of 9 years was on this porno chat, type deal, talking to other girls about sex, and his fantasies.  What should I do with him?  Where do I go from here?

I think it's okay if it's not a nightly routine, ask him if you can participate, you guys have been together for 9 yrs, so you have to do what you can to keep the sparks flying...handle it like adults...would you prefer he be out doing this or just "talking" about it?\nI know some women can't handle the thought of someone or something else turining our man on but you can be a part of it...makes your intimacy better too

Doesn't this mean "royal" in Spanish? Yet, people get a kick out of putting the word "Real" and then saying the word as the English "real" Like, Real Salt Lake? And then dozens of amateur teams do that as well.  It would have made much more since for them to use Salt Lake CITY like Manchester or something like that...

This is a nod to soccer tradition I suppose, as well as some strange way to try and get fans hooked in. It's not unprecedented.\n\nWe have Chivas, USA now.  Also in South America you'll find a lot of clubs with English names: Racing, Boca Juniors, The Strongest, Newell's Old Boys, Everton, etc... These were clubs founded in the shadow of the English leagues.\n\nI suppose naming a club after a successful club in another country is a way of stating your aspirations for the club.


he might like u or he gets nervous since he works for your husband..


Can any teachers in the UK answer this on for me.

If you are going to work in a Government funded school, then you have to register with an organisation called the GTC (General Teaching Council).  It costs 33GBP (I think) per year, which is paid to you through your salary anyway (around the time of the annual payment).  Any school will ask for proof that you are a member of the GTC.  The reason for this is because they were set up in order to keep a register of teachers, ensure they are qualified etc...  I do believe that there may be an exception - if you are going to work in a Public School for example, or in Higher Education, where a teaching qualification (B'Ed or PGCE) are not always mandatory.  Hope this helps.  I would Google GTC and check out their website.  They were very helpful when I wanted to check some stuff.  Good Luck!


my bf at that time neglected me & chose to spend more time with his flatmate more than we did. he said nothing was going on. we broke up but 3months later they had a relationship. the flatmate was already married herself. a very handsome guy friend i knew got married but was still interested in me. i was so hurt & not thinking so i had an affair with that married guy friend of mine. i regret everything now. i have a nice, decent bf at the moment & don't want to ruin what we have by telling him. should i? we've been going out for 9 months now. he's really sweet.

reltionship is frankly determined by how two people get to know each other.ifboth of you have determined to marry and are genuiely commited to the cause of living the rest of your lives together,i think both of you should be open to each other.but care should be excercise to avoid sensitive  issues of sex , flirting to damage relationship youve built for 9months to just go . my advice is since  youve acknowledge the past and fell remorse about it,keep such influences out of ur life,pray to god for forgiveness ,free your spirit by this cofession in prayer.again to tell your boy friend may not be helpful except he is of a good understanding person .try as much as possible to build relationship devoid of any cheat .if both of latter married u will see the fruit of your commitment to each other.


some time i have faith and other times i have confussion?? whats up with that

As with every religious question the answer lies in you. To have doubts is normal, when you question the very foundations of your faith, of your belief system you are questioning your entire life and your reason for being. It's a very hard and exhausting experience, yet, you come through stronger and mucho more confident, because you doubt no more.\n\nKeep doubting, question everything and have YOUR TRUTH the one that works for you. You can seek council within your church or religion or among friends. Don't feel bad nor despair, what you're doing is healthy and normal.

I am looking for a place to live which is really close to a ski area.  I would prefer a ski in/ski out location but something at the base of a mountain would be nice.  Whistler is about the ideal location but there must be other communities like this.

WhistlerBlackcomb (two mountains in British Columbia that form one resort) are outside of Vancouver.  There are gondolas to both mountains in Whistler Village, which is a nice little, modern pedestrian village (the main part of the village is pedestirian only with shuttles to the numerous hotels and ski resorts)  Whistler will co-host the 2010 Olympics with Vancouver.\n\nAlso, Whiteface Mountain in NY is about three hours from NYC, and is nine miles from the town of Lake Placid, NY.  Whiteface co-hosted the 1932 and 1980 Olympics with Lake Placid.


I met this person.We started chatting & all that stuff.We became really close,as in super good friends.Then he started sending sweet text messages everyday,he'd stay up all night on the computer to chat with me even though he's really tired.So in short,all those signals that someone likes you.Of course i started liking him too.And just as suddenly, he stopped.He kind of became distant one day.Of course we've talked about it, and i told him everything i felt.Then he said to have faith in him, trust him, that he loves & cares for me.I said i'm scared of losing the friendship, he said the same.I still texted him once in a while (like we did before) but it felt like i'm only intruding him.I just wanted us to be close like we were before.I know he talks to other women.It doesn't matter,but why should our friendship be affected? Sometimes he ignores me on YM.Once i wasn't able to answer his PM right away,he got mad.Now he tells me he's busy w/ work &can't talk,but i know he's really chatting

are you both juveniles or could he be married? no help here.


how do i explain to him that making love is more pleasurable that a simple intercourse. \n\nalso wanna know a few tactics to make him feel good.

Hold him off and caress him, talk to him and tell him about your concern. Dont just lie there when he enjoys himself and you dont.


I need a glossy paper for a project, and there's two types at my nearest Office Depot. There's a laser and an inkjet version. Now, I have an inkjet at home, and a laser printer at work, but I'm not sure if the laser printer works right. I was wondering if the laser will work on the inkjet and vice-cersa. Thanks in advanve.

Be careful here.  You're talking about a glossy paper.  This is different from standard papers.  \n\nLaser printers use a heated roller (fuser) to fuse the toner to the paper.\n\nThis is where glossy paper for an inkjet printer can be a problem. The fuser can melt the glossy film.  Some types seems to survive, but it's not a garauntee. \n\nGoing the other way around, printing from an inkjet printer on to glossy paper for a laser printer may or may not work.  The material used to make the surface of the paper glossy may not allow the ink to absorb into a layer and "stick", so to speak.\n\nYes, sometimes it works for one type of paper to be used in another type of printer, just be careful and understand that it may cause problems.


The Bible tells us that we need to attend church so we can worship God with other believers and be taught His Word for our spiritual growth (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:25). Church is the place where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12), encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13), “spur” one another (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32).\n\nWhen a person trusts Jesus Christ for salvation, he or she is made a member of the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27). For a church body to function properly, all of its "body parts" need to be present (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). Likewise, a believer will never reach full spiritual maturity without the assistance and encouragement of other believers (1 Corinthians 12:21-26). For these reasons, church attendance, participation, and fellowship should be regular aspects of a believer's life. Weekly church attendance is not required for believers, but someone who has trusted Christ should have a desire to worship God, be taught His Word, and fellowship with other believers.

0.0056831 to 2 signicant figures = 0.0057\nAs you do not count the zeros at the front of a decimal.\ni.e.\n0.003 = 1 significant figure\n0.0105 = 3 sig fig\n0.1040 = 4 sig fig\n3.40 = 3 sig fig\n2050.6070 = 7 sig fig\n\nYou always count the zeros at the end of a decimal (but not the front).\n\nOther examples,\n2400 = 2 sig fig\n2401 = 4 sig fig\n2040 = 3 sig fig\n2000000000 = 1 sig fig\n\nBecause you should not count the zeros at the back of a whole number.


I can't figure it out either.  Homerwork can be a good way to reinforce things discussed or learned in a classroom but I believe that homework for the sake of homework is indeed a waste of time.\n\nBook learning is kinda like exercise.  Without any you will live a weak and feeble existence.  Some of it is good for you.  A lot of it can make you very strong.  Too much will kill you.\n\nEach person's breaking point is a little different and more teachers need to know that.  The teacher needs to put thought into the homework too.  Often the teacher is being lazy and just assigning homework for the sake of homework.\n\nHow many intelligent people are driven off schoolwork because of mindless repetition?\n\nBut on the other hand, in the proper dose it can help your learning.  Now go do your homework.  Or don't.  You live with the consequences.

Cursed\n\nCurs-ed are you for attempting to enter my forbidden cave,\nA black hole from which there is no return.\nFight my demons all you like, but you're now a slave,\nBound by chains and forced to forever yearn\nFor a love you know you've found but will never feel.\nCurs-ed are you who dares to fix my broken soul,\nCursed to live with the pain of a heart that will never heal,\nTo live in the shadows of a mind that will never be whole.\nSeek not redemption for crossing that line,\nFor believing I could be everything you need.\nSeek instead a way out of my mind,\nBefore your shattered heart learns what it means to bleed.\n\nI live in a world that allows me no tears,\nA world where my broken heart can't cry itself to sleep.\nCurs-ed are you for singing songs no one hears,\nFor sound was a virtue the demons wouldn't let me keep.\nWhen I dream, I dream in black and white,\nFor dreaming in color would be an unforgivable sin.\nI live shrouded by the perpetual hood of night,\nAnd I play games with the demons I know I can't win.\nWhy do you long to be a part of this?\nHow could you give up color, sound, emotion,\nAnd exist in my world made of nothingness?\nNo one is supposed to feel for me such blind devotion.\n\nCurs-ed are you for unlocking that door,\nThe door for which no one should have had a key.\nThere is bright, vivid light playing across my cold, dark floor.\nDid you finally bring color to me?\nI feel a whisper sliding down my cheek.\nI brush it away, but it's not a whisper, it's a tear.\nYou fought past the demons,\nYou lifted the fog from my eyes.\nI realize now you're only human,\nAnd you only want to save me from my web of lies.\n\nIf ever a curse could be a blessing, then thou art mine.\n\n~~~Me~~~


1.He is too young to be able to ________ between right and wrong.\n\n　　[A] discard 　[B] discern 　[C] disperse 　[D] disregard

None of them. The word you want in this context is probably DISTINGUISH.\n\nYou can use DISCERN but the context is not quite right. DISCERN is transitive. You would need to write: He is too young to be able to discern right from wrong. \n\nDISCARD = throw away (Keep the good stuff and discard all the rubbish)\nDISPERSE = move apart, separate (After the event, the crowd will disperse)\nDISREGARD = ignore (We disregard spelling mistakes in this marking scheme)

every thing ends, right? or is time the one thing that lasts forever

The universe is believed to have begun with the Big Bang. However the term 'begun' is a bit misleading since the Big Bang created time itself. Thus, if you think about it, the universe began with the Big Bang but, at the same time, it was always there since time itself only started then!\n\nIF the universe is on course to collapse in the Big Crunch presumably the argument will reverse and time will come to an end.


i want to lose maybe like 15 pounds in 4 to 5 weeks.

They usually do, but only because you consume fewer calories. The foods themselves do very little to aid in the weight-loss process -- although they do make you healthier : )\n\nI'd give it a try. Combined with exercise (and lots of it), you could probably lose 2.5-3lbs per week. Just make sure you aren't eating any raw meat though. That will make you very, very sick. Only sushi is okay.


no metter how much money they are getting they are still putting another criminal back on the street!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend is a public defender.  Even guilty people have a right to a competent defense.  They need an attorney since the other side has one.  Someone who helps them get a fair deal or plea bargain.  Someone who can help them evaluate the evidence against them and decide if they should plead or go to jury trial.  They have a right to legal advice.  It's a part of our justice system.  You can disagree if you want.  That's just how our laws have evolved.


My boyfriend cheated on me but in know he loves me and i love him so how i do know for sure that he is never going to do it again? I love him and there is no leaveing him ever so i need to know how do i tell if he will ever do it again.


Are they countries or do they depend on other countries?\n\nI heard the Vatican is the Smallest country in the world, but, doesnt it belong to Italy?

No. In the mid 19th century, the Italian states (seperate kingdoms) united to form what is now Italy. However, the Vatican state maintained it status and did not join Italy. To this day it is an autonomous nation and not governed by any laws of Italy.\n\nMonaco is in France and is also an independant nation (a Principate).


Does anybody know the artist who sings the rock song "rapture"? Some lyrics are: feel your rapture, falls to pieces.  Thanks, I want to buy the song.

Rapture is the name of the song, Hurt is the name of the band, They have a CD called Volume 1, it's terrific, if I do say so myself.


It would be nice to see some answers from people besides just Christians but I'll take what I can get. Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Taoists, Shintoists, Atheists... anybody feel free to chime in on this one. And try not to be too offensive please.

Yup.  I learned about being a shepherd and how we're all lambs in God's creation.\nYou are a lamb when you cry out to God, and God answers you. You are re-assured and faithful that He is always there.\nAnd we are all shepherds of God's world...bringing hope to those without.\nJust think, if we all pitched in and helped out a fellow human, we could accomplish so much in this world.\nBut, unfortunately, many think only of material things, or of themselves.  My, how we've lost our way.....


I'm looking for a part time job in IRAN .

i'm electronic engineer too, the only (legal) way to earn a lot of money is to ask to the bank.\nthey will give you because you are  engineer. \nOr find a job ;)


my boyfriend is chaeting on me!!! how do i confront him?

by coming right out and telling him then show him the door. once a cheat always a cheat.  Yes it hurts to break up but its better than staying with someone who cheats on up and can end up giving you STDs. There are great guys out there dumb the loser and finding one will be easy.


In addition: How did you gain the knowledge/information of Nicotine?

its not good, but u can get it just by googling it/


my friends tell me to enjoy and not to keep me for myself .am i wrong?

You are RIGHT! Be strong...don't give in to peer pressure.  Many people regret their first time and losing it so early.  I wish I would have saved myself for my boyfriend now because he is the man I am going to marry. It is the one "gift" you can give to your husband.  It will mean a lot to you both. Good luck.

PbCl2(solid)+Cl2(gas)--->PbCl4(liquid)   ΔH(enthalpy)=?\nUse the following thermochemical equations.\nPb(solid)+2Cl2(gas)--->PbCl4(liquid)     ΔH=-329.2 kJ\nPb(solid)+Cl2(gas)--->PbCl4(solid)       ΔH=-359.4 kJ

That second reaction should be Pb(s) + Cl2(g) ---> PbCl2(s).  Reverse the second reaction and then add the two together and you will get the resultant reaction.\n\nPbCl2(s) ---> Pb(s) + Cl2(g)    H = +359.4 kJ\nPb(s) + 2Cl2(g) ---> PbCl4(s)   H = -329.2 kJ\n\nPbCl2(s) + Cl2(g) ---> PbCl4(s)  H = +30.2 kJ


jw b/c im 5'1 and way 124...but i think that im fat and am about to stop eating period...what do u think is it true or not?

No, it´s not true. The only thing that happens is, that you will pass out and get really ill. You should better stop eating fast-food and do some sports. In Europe Nordic Walking is very popular, which is very sparing with the joints. Have fun, and don´t believe suc stories of loosing 30 pounds in one week, that is just a fairy tail.


I know a couple people who are just peculiar. They're not particularly friendly or gregarious, kind-of snotty even though their background isn't that great and not people you really would go out of your way to say hi too. I used to live in a town where EVERYONE acted like that, but in my present hometown, most people are nice. \n\nWhat causes people to just be unfriendly like that? The two I'm talking about aren't very well-liked by the people they came into contact with...

Some people are insecure and use their nasty attitude as a cover up, but in reality it should be a dead giveaway.


The Mexican people I know say-they are not the poor coming in and those who can afford to get here do not give to charities at home. These people I believe-they have family there-they see who gets the money.

According to the PEW Hispanic research center the vast majority of illegals coming form Mexico were gainfully employed before entering America.


how do you find the second derivative of a parametric equation

Let me guess you're taking the AP Calc test tomorrow!  Me too!  :)\n\nWell first take the seperate derivatives of x and y\nto get dx/dt and dy/dt\n\nthen put you dy answer over the dx answer to have dy/dx\n\nthen take the derivative of dy/dx and put that over your dx/dt\n\n\nexample problem\nx=5t^2                 y=4t^3\n\nsolution:\n\ndx/dt= 10t       dy/dt= 12t^2\n\ndy/dx (first derivative) = (12t^2)/(10t)\n\nwhich equals (6/5)t\n\nthen take d(dy/dx)/dt (derivative of (dy/dx))\n\nso that equals (6/5)\n\nthen put that over dx/dt which is 10t\n\nso (6/5)/(10t) which equals 6/(5*10*t)\n\nso answer equals 6/(50t)\n\n\nHope it helps and if you are taking the AP Test good luck!!!

It is easier to replicate potatoes from the eyes of the potatoes, which root readily and will give rise to new potato plants that will grow many more potatoes. Some types of commercial potatoes may no longer be able to produce actual seeds, since this quality is not desired. It is possible, however, to grow potatoes from seed, as this article points out, describing how in 2002, Peru began helping Afghanistan with growing potatoes after the war devastated agriculture.


i dont mean basic education, everyone's a literate nowadays.\ni mean higher or specialized education.\n\n\nIf your answer is no, then what options is one left with?\nWhat can one do to earn a high income without being a scholar?

How do I know if taxes on phone bill are not too much? How much % should be each tax (Federal, State, etc)?

First, it depends on which state you live in.\n\nThere are a variety of taxes that phone (and other utilities) like to pass down, especially excise taxes.  I would plan to pay anywhere from 10% to 15% in taxes.

can a woman contract gonorrhea and chlamydia through receiving unprotected oral sex? are gonorrhea and chlamydia found and semen and vaginal fluids and can they be transmitted by semen and vaginal fluids?

Your doctor is right.  Why even ask these people if you've already spoken with your doctor?  Most people who try to answer questions on this site don't really know what they are talking about.  \n\nOral sex is much more likely to spread herpes or HPV when a woman is receiving.  When a man is receiving gonorrhea and chlamydia come into play.  There are no documented cases of HIV being transmitted through oral sex.  However, herpes is much worse than getting gonnorrhea or chlamydia.  There is no cure for herpes.

I would not support Detroit if they put forth a bid but I would attend the games id Detroit was the host city.

Frankly, I doubt it...nothing against Detroit, but it's a city built around an industry. It lacks a great deal of culture or sophistication that would draw people to it for the "Olympic" experience. Might as well have them in Flint....

I have an opportunity to take over a business with a solid cash flow but part of the deal means I must take over an additional location that has a negative cash flow. I have enough money to pay for the business and a little left over to satisfy a shortfall in operating cash flow of just the one. I did not factor anything in for the second location with a negative operating cash flow. The crunch is that I can not have one without the other. The important thing is to know that I am only short operating capitol for one location....should I take a gamble?...all stats indicate that it has a 50/50 chance of surviving if just anyone took over and a 70% chance of survival with my business experience placed in the equasion. Without the second location it has a 100% chance of survival. What would you do?

Sell the 2nd location to another buyer or close the 2nd location as soon as the acquisition is complete.  If the deal makes sense by closing the 2nd location immediately upon taking ownership, then proceed.  If it does not work assuming you will close the 2nd location, then do not proceed until you have a buyer for the 2nd location.  Then only proceed if you can close the purchase (of both) and sale (of the 2nd) simultaneously.  Alternatively, find a partner to buy the 2nd location at the same time you buy the 1st.

Growing teens, females under 16 and males under 19, should add 2 points to the target shown. Nursing woman should add 10 points to the target show. Everyone should consult a doctor before beginning or modifying any weight loss program.\n\nThe first column is your weight right now. The second column is your POINTS Target.

POINTS = [Calories/50] – [grams of fiber*/5] + [grams of fat/12] *note that the grams of fiber are capped at 4 grams per serving.\n\n\nActivity Points\nIn addition to eating your Target points each day, you may choose to earn and optionally eat Activity points. Activity points earned must be used on the same day they are earned, if they are used at all. Activity points are fully described on, and can be calculated with, your POINTSbooster. If you don’t have it handy, you can use a calculator and the following formulas.\nActivity points for light intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00023\nActivity points for moderate intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00033\nActivity points for high intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00081\nLight intensity is described as being able to talk and sing, with regular breathing and no sweating. Examples of light intensity activities are leisurely walking or biking. Moderate intensity is described as being able to talk but not sing, with deep breathing and sweating after 10 minutes. Examples of moderate intensity activities are brisk walking or brisk biking. High intensity is described as being able to only talk briefly, with rapid deep breathing and sweating after 3-5 minutes. Examples of high intensity activities are running or competitive cycling. \n\n\n\nFlexPoints\nIn addition to eating all of your Target Points each day and optionally eating some or all of your Activity Points each day, you’ll begin each week with 35 FlexPoints. Use them any way you please. Don’t use them at all, use some, divide them evenly over the week, or spend them all on a weekend splurge. Once the week is up, they’re gone. Keep track of them in your QuikTrak System. \n\nSource(s):\nDotti's Weight Loss Zone website


why is it that some websites will not show, says they cannot be displayed when i know they are valid websites

Are you on dial up, DSL or cable?  If on dialup, sometimes the sites "time out" and will not load, especially if there are many graphics.  Also, there are some sites that are actually down at times.  Lastly, is there a block on certain sites on your computer?


i've tried to learn by taking classes, watching movies, listening to tapes, workbooks, computer games, etc. those of you who can speak french comfortably as a second or third language, not first, how? i may even be willing to move to france.

Keep up what you're doing.  It takes quite some time.  When you are an intermediate learner (about 3rd,4th year high school, or late 2nd year university) yo could benefit from moving to a French-speaking area.  (Quebec or  Montreal might be easier for a US person.)  Once you can even half-way read French, read.  Read children's books, baby books, magazines, websites (yahoo.fr, insolite is usually interesting.  It has weird stuff).  Don't worry about what you don't understand.  Don't both with the dictionary.  Just read.  I know that there are podcasts in French and that some French newspapers (le monde) have spoken interviews on the computer.  Listen to what you're interested.  You might also want to download or buy French CDs of the type of music you like and listen to them over and over until they get in your head.\nI took 1 year in highs school, minored in college, listened to this one French record album 17 zillion times, fell in love with the book "the Little Prince" in French, started teaching it...and eventually I can open my mouth and let French fall out--but this is a loooooooong process.

Hi, Robin:\nif you are using Photoshop CS, open the original image(jpeg) file in Photoshop, and go to 'File' from drop-down menu, and select 'New' (or press Ctrl + N on Windows). You will see a pop-up window that asks you to enter size and background of your new image, then you enter the size you want and click 'OK'. Now, in Photoshop, you have 2 panels: one is the original image and the other is a new image panel you just created. At the tools panel, you will see stamp icon: When you right click on the icon, you will have drop-down menu; select 'Clone Stamp Tool'. Now, you go back to the original image, and click on the image of the person you want by pressing 'Alt' key down (note that if you don't press 'Alt' key down, your mouse cursor will not change to target sign). In operating systems other than Windows, you need to press down 'Option' key instead of 'Alt' key. Now, go to new image panel you have created earlier, and just paint by pressing right click on your mouse. \n\nI hope it will help. . .


What is your favorite scene in the lord of the rings trilogy?

1. Gandalf - "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" from Fellowship of the Ring\n2. Gimli - "Toss me, but not a word to the elf!" from the Two Towers\n3. Gimli - *after Legolas kills a war elephant* "That still only counts as one!!!" from Return of the King


Like about helping the old people and The War

first I would have slapped Gore in the mouth for being a piss poor sport, then every thing else about the same


Going across to Tijuana does not count either.

I am NOT against illegal immigration, and I get your point, the majority that are so gung ho about stopping it have never left the country, they live in a "America is the best" kind of bubble. They dont know, so their ignorance reigns.


I need to get a copy of my birth certificate


100m 10.49 in 1988\n\nThe only one close was Marion Jones 10.65\n\nEven that's a big difference.\n\n200m 21.34 1988\n\nNext again Jones 21.62.

In time, sure.... but I believe the 100m record will stand for decades until anyone gets close.\n\nThe 200m time is more likely to be challenged. I hate to say it, but I believe Flo-Jo was juiced, but these weren't so far into the atmosphere that they can't be surpassed...in may be 20 or 30 years, but they will be.


Some are in favor and others are against investing money, time and effort on a space program which will lead us to other worlds. What's your personal view? Why should we and why shouldn't we do it?

so we have a place to send our prisoners - oh wait that was what colonial europeans did in the americans, australia and africa...


the monitor turn blue and there are messages.\n" the computer detected problem and windows must shutdown to prevent further damage"\n" you are executing a non-executable memory"

Yes, I've seen that many times... I think your computer is not able to handle Yahoo Messenger... Try to reinstall it...\nHowever, remove it in Safe Mode... Then restart, then install in Normal mode... If it continues, something is really screwed up with your system... \n\nWell, it's in the lowest level of binary to CPU communication so there isn't much to do... \n\nAlso, that blue screen is called the classic:\n\n\n"BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH"!!!\n\nAlso, try to change the settings when you are installing YAHOO MESSENGER\n\n\nKeehun Nam\nknvb1123@gmail.com

i am trying to look for good websites or books that talk about general asian-inspired themed weddings with pictures as examples.  \n\nany links out there?  thanks all! ~\n\n(^_^)


I have a quotes page on my website, and was wondering if you knew any good quotes,, if you do please let me know who said them or if you made them up urself.

i think it was groucho marx....\n\n"i dont want to belong to any club that would have me as a member"

There may be even more hosts involved: don't forget the domain servers, and the root domain servers..


The are Ap of a figure having a horizontal base, vertical sides, and a paraboic topcane be compued by the formula\n\nAp = h/3(l + 4m + r)\n\nwhere h is half the length of the base, l and r are thelengths of the left and right sides, and m is the altitude at the midpoint of the base. This formula, oncea profound discovery of ancient geometers, is readily verified today with calculus.\n\n1. Coordinatize by centering the base at the origin. Let y = Ax^2 + Bx + C be the equation of the parabola. Using this equation, show that Yo = Ah^2 - Bh + C, Y1 = C and Y2 = Ah^2 + Bh + C\n\n2. Show that Yo + 4Y1 + Y2 = 2Ah^2 + 6C\n\n3. Integrate to show that the are Ap is\n\nh/3(2Ah^2 + 6C)\n\n4. Combine these results to derive the formula\n\nAp = h/3(Yo + 4Y1 + Y2).

Was there a question in there somewhere?  You already showed most of the work.


The height of a triangle is 3 cm less than that of the length of the base. The area of the triangleis 35 cm2.Find the height and length of base.

If this is a right triangle, the formula for finding the area is 1/2 BH (base x height).  Therefore, the formula you want for this problem is 1/2[x(x-3)]=35.


I really want to get into pilates (spell??) but don't know of any good videos.  I have used Windsor Pilates before but didn't like it that much.  Are there anyother good ones?\nThanks

The only one I tried was Pilates for Dummies and I found it at Wal-mart.  The instructor gives really clear instructions and in addition to the standards, they show you beginner and challenge exercises, too.\n\nAlthough I don't do them as often now, they really do help you to tone up and you definitely feel it, though not in a bad way.\n\nGood luck finding something that works for you. :-)


I MEAN WHAT IS IT THAT IF WE ACHIEVE, THEN WE HAVE A SATISFACTION

fundamentally to procreate, but intellectually to make this place better for our children, and our neighbours. did you know that a Muslim must give a certain percent of there earnings to charity. that my friend is better than just having faith. If you believe in God, then do something forwarding thinking. \n\nI guess to make a less selfish world. Corney but hey, better than waiting to die blah blah


okay friday like she said I'm at her house right and guess who's at the door at 5:45 her ex she opens up the door  and i when the back \nbut it didn't matter he saw my car he is really mad at me so he hooked with my ex but didn't let me explain how do i tell him?

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first deceive...\n\nLeave well enough alone for now... in time an explanation may be needed...if he wants one.\nIn the meantime, GROWN UP lest you want the boomerang effect to happen to you.\n\nWhat goes around.....comes around


i've tried everything everybodys told me to do about my p.c. but it still wont go past the windows xp start screen...i've tried for 1 month now... i think is b/c of a virus...should i just get a new p.c.

If there's a virus, shouldn't you just reformat it or something? Then just install a virus shield


What is the name of the show where this line was repeated?\n\n"Push, push, push! Push and drive, Williams! Right down the line! Push, push, push!" \n\nHint1: It was one of the more annoying lines in the episode of this show.\n\nWhat is the name of the actor who played the lead role?\n\nHint2: He has two children who are actors.

I agree with Janet.  I remember that from the Twilight Zone as well.  The part of Williams was played by James Daly.  The "line" was a train line on its way to an old-fashioned town called Willoughby... "Next Stop, Willoughby!"  Finally, poor, stressed-out Williams gets to de-train at Willoughby... but is Willoughby actually a metaphor for something else as Williams gets reprieved from his misery?
